Published: March 2024

Aim of study: Silverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium) has evolved as an invasive weed in Greece, affecting many farmers’ fields. The potential subterranean interference of silverleaf nightshade on durum wheat growth and yield, as well as its aqueous extracts phytotoxic activity on four winter cereals were investigated.
Area of study: Northern Greece.
Material and methods: The phytotoxic activity of silverleaf nightshade was determined in the laboratory using a perlite-based bioassay. The interference of silverleaf nightshade on durum wheat yield components was investigated by a 3-year field experiment.
Main results: The silverleaf nightshade leaves/stems or the flowers/fruits extracts were in most cases more phytotoxic than those of roots. Durum wheat and oats were more sensitive than winter wheat and barley. In the field, the incorporated summer biomass of 14-18 plants m-2 (about 4.5-4.8 t ha-1) of silver nightshade caused 14.5, 23.1, 23.3, 15.9, 17.3 and 16.9% reduction (averaged across years) in durum wheat plant number, tiller number, total fresh weight, total dry weight, ear number and seed yield, respectively, compared with the silver nightshade-free plots (control). The corresponding reductions caused by 30-34 plants m-2 (about 8.3-8.6 t ha-1) were 28.5, 41.2, 45.9, 31.5, 27.0 and 31.2%.
Research highlights: The presence of aboveground silver nightshade biomass, incorporated by tillage before seeding significantly reduced the emergence, growth and yield of durum wheat. This fact could be attributed to the allelopathic effect of the weed and demonstrates the need for its control before wheat establishment to enhance wheat productivity.

Revisiting the 1826 Bektaşi Purge: Political-Economy of Confiscating Endowment Lands
Authors: Öyük Hasan Fatih
Published: March 2024

This paper analyzes Mahmud II's famous purge of Bektashi lodges after the Vâkâ-yı Hayriyye (Auspicious Event) in the first half of the nineteenth century with a novel approach. In the current scholarship, the government's attempt to confiscate Bektashi properties has been discussed mainly in the economic and fiscal contexts. Furthermore, the ulema was depicted as indifferent to the confiscation of the Bektashi lodges in this narrative. Instead, this article sheds light on three essential aspects of the confiscation process. Firstly, it argues that many members of the ulema showed active and passive resistance to the abolishment of Bektashi lodges, managing to limit certain policies of the central government over the Bektashi lodges. The second argument of the paper is that the government took the ulema seriously throughout the process and created a careful religio-legal language to justify the procedure. Finally, it asserts that the Bektashi purge of Mahmud II did not reach its immediate aim to abolish Bektashism and create an additional financial resource for the newly established central army. However, this event became the starting point of a new government policy over religious endowments by redefining the central government's limits over the religious sphere.
Musul’da Yerel Bir Tarihçi: Yâsîn Ömerî (1745-1820) ve Târîh-i Âsâru’l-Celiyye Fî Havâdisi’l-Ardiyye Başlıklı Eseri
Authors: Ceylan Ebubekir
Published: March 2024

Bu çalışma, Osmanlı Musul’unda yaşamış yerel bir tarihçi olan Yâsîn Ömerî (1745-1820) ve onun Târîh-i Âsâru’l-Celiyye fî Havâdisi’l-Ardiyye başlıklı eseri hakkındadır. Musul’un ileri gelen ailelerinden Ömerîler’e mensup olan Yâsîn Ömerî, yazdığı 17 eserin önemli bir kısmını Musul’un ileri gelenlerine adamıştır. Kendisinin vakayiname türündeki Târîh-i Âsâru’l-Celiyye fî Havâdisi’l-Ardiyye’sinin Millet Yazma Eser Kütüphanesi nüshası daha önce herhangi bir çalışmada kullanılmamış olup British Library nüshasına göre daha iyi durumdadır ve kronolojik olarak daha uzun bir dönemi kapsamaktadır. Osmanlı arşiv belgeleriyle desteklenen bu çalışmada yazma eserin genel bir tanıtımı yapılmış ve ardından müellifin yaşadığı dönemin olaylarını içeren eserin son kısmına vurgu yapılmıştır. Eserde sel, deprem, kuraklık/kıtlık, ay/güneş tutulmaları gibi doğa olayları, salgın hastalıklar ve olağandışı hadiselere yer verilmiş olup bahsedilen olayların en önemlisi 1743’te Nadir Şah’ın Musul’u kuşatmasıdır. Ayrıca müellifin Celîlî dönemi Musul’undaki yöneticiler, şehir âyanı ve yeniçeriler arasında yaşanan anlaşmazlık ve çatışmalara yer vermesi oldukça önemlidir. Olayların sebep-sonuç ilişkisine pek değinilmese de eleştiriden ziyade medih ve övgü tercih edilse de müellifin ve aile yakınlarının yazdığı eserler 18. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Osmanlı Musul’daki entelektüel yaşamın, iddia edildiğinin aksine, durağan olmadığını göstermektedir.
Dealing with (sick) secondary vocational students – a privacy law perspective.
Authors:   , van Erp Maud Louise
Published: March 2024

The digitization of education has advanced significantly. An institution cannot provide good education without processing personal data, including sharing the student’s data with third parties. Educational technology can be used for many purposes and can be acquired from many different commercial parties. However, what is technically possible does not always mean that it is permissible (the law) or desirable (ethics). The educational institution may not 'just‘ use – sometimes sensitive – personal data of a student. Student’s have data protection rights.
This study focused on what is legally permissible. Secondary Vocational Education laws and regulations have been tested against the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the General Data Protection Regulation Implementation Act (UAVG). I investigated the conditions under which the funded Secondary Vocational Education institution may restrict the privacy of the (sick) student. In doing so, I used two perspectives, the internal processing by the institution and the external sharing of personal data with parents.
This thesis consists of a collection of articles published between 2017 and 2021 (chapters 2 to 6). I added epilogues (paragraphs 2.10, 3.12, 4.7, 5.8 and 6.9) and an introduction (chapter 1), and concluded by answering the main and sub-questions, recommendations and concluding considerations (chapter 7). Section 7.4 also presents four categories of data processing that are not in line with the GDPR. Progressive insight is included in section 7.1. For the purpose of the readability of the thesis, it is good to first take note of this, in particular with regard to the lawfulness of processing (sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2).

Anemia during pregnancy is a major health problem that affects 25-50% of the world's population and around 50% of pregnant women. One of the causes of stunting is Low Birth Weight, which most often occurs in mothers who suffer from anemia. Making sure pregnant women have access to iron-folic acid supplement programs is challenging. People's inability to comply often occurred as the result of a lack of understanding of the benefits or harms of the supplement. Providing counseling to pregnant women to improve adherence to taking blood-added supplements has resulted in significant benefits and impacts on changes discussed in several studies that have been conducted in several countries. Through a review of the literature, this study seeks to ascertain the contribution that counseling interventions have to improving iron-folic acid prescription adherence. This study used a literature study research method by examining 8 journals published on the SCOPUS, PubMed, and Garuda Websites. After that, descriptive analysis was used to examine the data from the selected journals. The 8 journals supported the idea that counseling can improve adherence to iron and folic-acid supplementation. There are numerous ways to provide counseling, including the traditional face-to-face approach, the 5A brief approach, leaflet/brochure-based approaches, and counseling through illustrated books. This study concludes that counseling interventions are more effective due to the careful planning of tailored interventions with more regular follow-ups, various forms of interactive educational media, patient characteristics, and direct health professional intervention related to counseling.

Using Technology and Algorithms for Face Detection and Recognition Using Digital Image Processing and Relying on a Computer Vision Sensor
Authors: Al-khafaji Rasha Basim Yousif
Published: March 2024

Advancing in variable scopes in network technology, many new technologies were developed. Security issues were important, especially in the detection and recognition of people using variable methods like face details. Sensors have been used widely in recent days to support security systems. Sensors are devices used to convert any type of signals into electrical signals that are recorded to be processed later. These signals can be viewed by the user in several ways. Sensors increased in the development stage that can be integrated with operating systems, data storage systems, processing units, communication units, and any other function units. Detection and recognition systems were developed into a new level of technology. Some systems like figure print and palm lines face many problems because the possible change of the skin structure can be faced in time. So, these methods faced a certain problem and limitations that caused them to search for other methods more accurate. This search aims to create a new method for face detection and recognition depending on sensors. Most of the methods used for face recognition depend on OpenCV libraries that give good accuracy and time recovery availability. On the other hand, practical applications were developed to increase the accuracy of these systems like SeetaFace and YouTu methods. Three methods of detection were important to be detected too to increase the accuracy of the whole system which are the side face detection, the occlusion detection, and the face expressions. Then these data were compared to create the whole accuracy result of the system.

Abstract: Cannabis contains more than 140 cannabinoid compounds, of which cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol are the most exposed ones, as they have the potential for numerous applications in various fields of health and medicine. Many scientific findings and numerous clinical studies over the last decade report results related to pain relief, treatment of chronic diseases and certain neurological disorders in human medicine. In line with the growing trend of research and application in human medicine, the research and application potential in veterinary medicine is also increasing. Of the biologically active molecules contained in the plant, cannabidiol has attracted the most interest. The cultivation of cannabis for medical and pharmaceutical purposes requires, among other things, compliance with legal regulations. An analysis of the legal acts regulating the use for medical and pharmaceutical purposes shows that the current regulation at state level is complex and should be amended.

Use of Gaseous Plasma for Dental Applications
Authors: Birk Luka , Junkar Ita , Rener-Sitar Ksenija
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Plasma technology is a rapidly growing field of science that permeates various branches of medicine and dental medicine. In dental medicine, cold or nonthermal gaseous plasma can be used directly in the oral cavity for the surface treatment of hard dental tissues, periodontal tissues, or oral mucosa or indirectly for treating dental ma-terials before intraoral use or placement. Simplified atmospheric-pressure plasma de-vices in plasma pencils or jets have broadened the spectrum of plasma technology ap-plications for safe plasma treatment of living tissues. Cold gaseous plasma also allows surface treatment of various heat-sensitive materials. Dental alloys, polymers, waxes, and ceramics can be decontaminated or disinfected with plasma treatment. Antimi-crobial properties of cold atmospheric plasma have been demonstrated to facilitate the treatment of oral mucosa infections, dental caries, and endodontic space infections. Various dental materials can also be functionalized through plasma surface treatment to improve their biocompatibility, adhesive properties, wettability, or permeability. Promising results of cold plasma treatment have also been shown in the bleaching of teeth with external or internal staining and the enhancement of the adhesion of dental composites to dentin. Plasma may also serve as a method of dental armamentarium cleaning and sterilization. Although the use of cold gas plasma is not yet part of the standard procedures in the daily clinical practice of dentists, promising results from preclinical and clinical research are encouraging further development and exploration of this technology. Keywords: cold gaseous plasma; atmospheric pressure plasma; plasma technology; dental medicine; surface treatment
Unveiling PFAS-free Solutions for Hydrophobic and Oleophobic Textile Coatings
Authors: Verbič Anja , Golja Barbara , Stres Blaž , Likozar Blaž , Novak Uroš
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of synthetic compounds containing carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds. They are used in almost all industries, includ-ing the textile industry, to impart hydrophobic, oleophobic, stain-repellent or non-stick properties to various materials. They are also valued for their excellent thermal, chemical and mechanical stability. However, increasing environmental and health concerns about PFAS have led to an urgent need to find sustainable alternatives. Due to their chemical composition, which contains strong carbon-fluorine bonds, they are difficult to degrade and tend to bioaccumulate in the environment and in human tis-sue. Human exposure to PFAS has been linked to a number of adverse health effects, including immunosuppression and cancer. As a result, academia and industry are in-creasingly focused on developing alternatives to PFAS in a variety of applications, to reduce the environmental and human health impacts associated with these persistent substances. This review article explains the basic properties of PFAS, the principles of textile wettability and discusses possible PFAS-free solutions in the field of environ-mentally and human friendly hydro-/oleophobic textile coatings. Keywords: PFAS, hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, bio-based, coatings, textile

Music in the Life and Works of Boris Leonidovich Pasternak
Authors: Prelovšek Anita
Published: March 2024

Abstract: This article describes how the life and works of Boris Pasternak were strongly connected with music. Pasternak began his artistic career as a musician, namely a pianist and student of composition. His interest in music was contributed by his acquaintance with the composer Alexander Scriabin, who made a strong impression on the young Pasternak and inspired him to music. Pasternak devoted several chapters to Scriabin in his short prose Safe Conduct and Essay in Autobiography. A few years later, when Pasternak gave up music, his sense of the musicality of the verse remained in his poetry. Even in his prose work, we can find several passages that mention music or musicians. Pasternak uses musical examples to describe the outer and inner world of his literary heroes. This article focuses on Pasternak's prose work, especially on the novel Doctor Zhivago and the autobiographical works Safe Conduct and Essay in Autobiography, but also gives a very few examples from his rich poetry. Keywords: Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago, Scriabin, Musicality of the verse

uric acid is the result of purine metabolism, it will cause pain and rheumatic pain in the joints. Handling to reduce pain is with warm ginger compresses and rgonomic exercises. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of ginger warm compresses and ergonomic exercises on reducing gout arthritis pain in the elderly in Mojolegi Village, Gading District, Probolinggo Regency.This type of research is quasi-experimental with a cross over group design approach. The population of 51 people was selected by purposive sampling technique and obtained 36 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion requirements of the study. The instrument used is the numerical pain scale observation sheet (NRS). The results showed that the pain scale of ginger warm compresses for period I pre-test was 5.17 post-test 3.00, period II pre-test was 3.94 post-test 2.39. In the ergonomic exercise group, period I pre-test was 5.39 post-test 3.67, period II pre-test was 3.89 post-test 2.61. The results of data analysis obtained valuesρV 0.000 in the warm ginger compress group and the ergonomic exercise group so that it can be concluded that both therapies were equally effective, there was no difference between warm ginger compress and ergonomic exercise in reducing gout arthritis pain in the elderly.Ginger warm compresses and ergonomic exercises are non-pharmacological measures that can be applied to relieve pain and provide a sense of comfort. Thus, implementing these two therapies requires sufficient recovery time (wash out) so that the effects of the first intervention are not carried over to the second intervention.
Gravity: Where Quantum Physics and Classical Physics finally merge
Authors:   Delft, Zuid-Holland, NL, Herrebrugh ‎ Ir. A V
Published: March 2024

In this 3rd paper of a triptych on quantum theory regarding gravity, quantum, and classical physics are merged seamlessly-however with conclusions deviating from classical physics regarding singularities, space-curvature, and graviton. Mathematically, singularities (Schwarzschild, Droste) vanish by proper definition of the gravity source and field descriptions acquiring full validity at the Planck scale. Space(-time) curvature is shown to be geodesic-trajectory curvature by (energy) objects in the field of (a) gravity source(s). The gravity field is found to be a scalar field in which the trajectories are defined only by the principle of least action (LaGrange, Feynman) by compensation of accelerations due to different physical causal sources of acceleration. The graviton is argued to be a massive Higgs-type scalar boson with ubiquitous presence since the creation of quantum and clustered mass in the universe: the influence of a settled gravity field on mass (in) entering this field, therefore, is instantaneous, i.e., unlike a vector boson description. Gravity waves, occurring in mergers/transitions of mass, are defined by changes in time of the gravity field (at max. c m/s) in space and only become observable when substantial mass/energy is involved due to the weakness and spatial decay of gravity fields. All mathematics (e.g. integral transformations, vector space, etc) and related operators in the paper are part of the Abelian group for validity at the Planck scale. Results thus constitute the description of gravity on all scales.‎‎

Published: March 2024

In recent times, the utilization of renewable energy sources has gained significant traction and garnered widespread attention across diverse social segments. The prominent driver behind this surge in popularity is its cost-effectiveness and long-term durability. Notably, even individuals with limited financial means are increasingly drawn toward various forms of renewable energy. This research endeavor aims to draw comparisons between users and non-users of green energy and their corresponding household behaviors. Upon conducting a rigorous data analysis, the study will present a comprehensive and well-founded conclusion, along with offering pertinent recommendations. This study is slated to take place in the rural regions of Southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The study employed random sampling to select a sample from the population and focused on examining the relationship between the utilization of green energy, its characteristics, conventional green energy use, and the quality of solar energy. The primary objective of the study was to explore the choices made by individual households concerning green energy consumption and the factors that influence this choice. The analysis was carried out using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. This research gap presents a significant opportunity for advancing the promotion and adoption of renewable energy sources.
The Eroding Significance of Bahawalpur State's Time-Honored Defence Structure: A Case Study of Marot Fort under British Protectorate
Authors: Khalid Samia , Majeed Imran
Published: March 2024

The Fort of Marot served as a guardian along the northern frontier of Rajhistan, emblematic of Rajput's authority and resilience. It changed hands several times before coming under the stewardship of the Muslim rulers of Bahawalpur State, who also maintained it meticulously. However, with the onset of colonial dominance and the shift in defense strategies due to the region becoming a British protectorate, Marot, like many other contemporary defense structures, lost its prominence as a formidable border guardian. Instead, it saw a transition to a role primarily as a customs collection center and caravan hub. This article seeks to chronicle the historical and archaeological importance of a particular site, tracing its relevance through various ruling regimes. It aims to delve into the site's potential, the evolution of its functionality, and its role in shaping power dynamics across different eras. The chronological exploration will culminate with the period of British intervention, highlighting how the British control over the defense and trade of Bahawalpur State as a result of their trade treaty of 1833 and defense treaty of 1838, when Bahawalpur’s inclusion in the British Protectorate, led to the diminishing significance of these defense structures.

BACKGROUND
Although screening of household contacts (HHCs) of TB patients and provision of TB preventive therapy (TPT) is a key intervention to end the TB epidemic, their implementation globally is dismal. We assessed whether introducing
a ‘7-1-7’ timeliness metric was workable for implementing HHC screening among index patients with pulmonary TB diagnosed by private providers in Chennai, India, between November 2022 and March 2023.

METHODS
This was
an explanatory mixed-methods study (quantitative-cohort and qualitative-descriptive).

RESULTS
There were 263 index patients with 556 HHCs. In 90% of index patients, HHCs were line-listed within 7 days of anti-TB treatment initiation.
Screening outcomes were ascertained in 48% of HHCs within 1 day of line-listing. Start of anti-TB treatment, TPT or a decision to receive neither was achieved in 57% of HHC within 7 days of screening. Overall, 24% of screened HHCs in the ‘7-1-7’ period started TPT compared with
16% in a historical control (P < 0.01). Barriers to achieving ‘7-1-7’ included HHC reluctance for evaluation or TPT, refusal of private providers to prescribe TPT and reliance on facility-based screening of HHCs instead of home visits by health workers for screening.

CONCLUSIONS
Introduction of a timeliness metric is a workable intervention that adds structure to HHC screening and timely management.

A personalização do ensino é uma proposta pedagógica que visa levar em consideração os interesses, as necessidades e o tempo de aprendizagem do aluno. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma análise de literatura sobre os conceitos e debates referentes a personalização do ensino a partir de metodologias ativas segundo os principais teóricos da área. As metodologias ativas buscam dar ênfase ao papel protagonista do aluno, ao seu envolvimento direto, participativo e reflexivo em todas as etapas do processo de ensino e de aprendizagem, superando a fragmentação entre os conhecimentos cotidianos, os saberes específicos de cada curso e as propostas de ensino de cada componente curricular.

Este estudo associou dados de estrutura da vegetação e de modelagem de distribuição para indicar áreas com maior aptidão para prática do extrativismo sustentável, já bastante importante na economia do estado do Amapá e teve como alvo H. articulatus, uma importante espécie de uso medicinal no estado. A partir de dados de inventários e informações de herbários, referentes a espécimes coletados no Amapá, foram identificados os locais de ocorrência da espécie nas savanas do Amapá. A modelagem da distribuição espacial (MDE) indicou os locais com maior potencial de ocorrência, e consequentemente com maior potencial de exploração, que exibiram valores de avaliação do modelo entre 0,75 e 1,00, devendo ser levados em conta os valores de DAP e altura. Ainda assim, para uma recomendação mais assertiva devem ser realizados outros estudos, como a relação entre a demanda pela matéria-prima usada na produção dos remédios e a capacidade de recuperação dos espécimes submetidos à exploração da parte medicinal, assim como do seu potencial para cultivo.
