Authors: Karakaş Özür Nazan
Published: April 2024

Öz
Amaç: Yeni bir bakış açısı ve felsefeyle hazırlanan 2005 Coğrafya Dersi Öğretim Programı (CDÖP2005) hemen uygulanmaya başlanmış ve geri bildirimlerle dört kez revize edilmiştir. Revizyonların sonuncusu CDÖP2018’de ilk programa göre önemli değişiklikler bulunmaktadır. İlk programın yapısal kısımlarından bazıları ve giriş metinleri burada çıkarılmıştır. Programın son hali ile arasındaki farklılıkların ilk programın felsefesini zedelemiş olabileceği düşüncesi bu çalışmanın temel problemini oluşturmuştur.
Yöntem: Program metinlerinde sadece bilgi kazandırılması amaçlanan çıktılar veya kazanımlar değil, yöntem, teknik, materyal ve ölçme-değerlendirme süreçleri de yapısal bir bileşen olarak yer almalıdır. CDÖP2005 ve CDÖP2018 yapısal bileşenleri açısından incelenmiş ve buna göre eklenen veya çıkarılan kısımlar birinci programın felsefesi bağlamında değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: CDÖP2005, deney ve uygulama yoluyla öğrenmeyi gerektirmektedir. Felsefi olarak pragmatizm ve realizmin özelliklerine işaret etmektedir. Daha sonraki program, programın beklediği uygulamaları kullanmayı zorlaştırmıştır.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak revizelere ihtiyaç vardır ancak uygulamadan gelen geri bildirimler program komisyonları tarafından dikkatle değerlendirilmelidir. Programdan kaynaklanmayan sorunlar ile programla ilgili sorunların ayrıştırılması, revizyonların buna göre yapılması uygun olacaktır.
Özgünlük: Çalışma bir program eleştirisidir. Bu tarz çalışmaları doküman incelemelerinden ayıran yön esasen araştırmacının mevcut verileri işleme biçimi ve değerlendirmedir. Literatürde sıklıkla karşılaşılmayan eleştirel çalışmaların uygulamaların gelişimine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Objective − To investigate the effect of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy on physical condition in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) during a 12month period.Materials and Methods − This is a retrospective cohort study including children aged ≥5 years treated with Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) or Lumacaftor/ Ivacaftor (LUM/IVA). A six-minute walk test (6MWT) was performed at baseline and at the 3-month follow-ups. Changes in spirometry and sweat chlorides, and body mass index (BMI) were also observed. Collected data were analysed for changes in 6MWT results in correlation with other parameters. The 6MWT results were compared to those predicted for healthy peers. Missing values were replaced using imputation.Results − Study includes 34 patients (median age 14 years); 28 received ELX/TEZ/ IVA, and 6 LUM/IVA. The average 6MWT walking distance (6MWD) increased from 519.3±107.7 m at baseline to 620.0±99.5 m after 12 months (P<0.0001). The 12 month 6MWD values matched those expected for healthy peers. The increase in BMI z-score (P=0.019) and ppFEV1 (P<0.0001) visible at the 3-month followup was sustained throughout the rest of the year. Sweat chloride concentration decreased (P< 0.0001); after 12 months 13/34 subjects had values below 60 mmol/L. No correlation between 6MWD and other parameters was observed.Conclusion − Significant improvement in 6MWT results was already visible at three months following the initiation of CFTR modulator treatment. After 12 months patients performed 6MWT at a level indistinguishable from that expected of healthy peers.

Objectives − The objective was to compare these parameters in children with severe and non-severe sepsis and to evaluate their utility in predicting mortality. Material and Methods − A cross-sectional study conducted in the Pediatric Intensive Care of a dis- trict hospital in India. The hematological parameters of 54 children with severe sepsis and 55 with non-severe sepsis were analysed.Results − The children with severe sepsis had significantly lower HRR (Hemoglobin-RDW ratio) with higher RDW, plateletcrit and RAR as compared to those with non-severe sepsis. There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to the differential and total white blood cell counts or their ratios and other platelet indices. As compared to the survivors, non-survivors had significantly lower HRR with higher RDW and RAR. At a cut-off value of 3.845, RAR was 79.2% sensitive and 59% specific and at a cut-off value of 0.712 HRR was 77.8% sensitive and 60% specific in prediction of mortality.Conclusions − Children with severe sepsis had higher RAR and lower HRR when compared with children with non-severe sepsis. Significantly higher RAR and lower HRR were also noted among non-survivors as compared to survivors. The biomarkers RAR and HRR are readily available and useful in predicting mortality in children with sepsis.
Diversity and novelty of venom peptides from Conus (Asprella) rolani revealed by analysis of its venom duct transcriptome
Authors: Taguchi Ryoichi , Masacupan Dan Jethro , Lluisma Arturo
Published: April 2024

Conus species in the sub-genus Asprella are poorly studied because they inhabit deep-water habitats. To date, only a few peptides have been characterized from this clade. In this study, the venom duct transcriptome of a member of this clade, Conus rolani, was mined for potential conopeptides. Using a high-throughput RNA sequencing platform (Illumina) and a multiple k-mer de novo assembly, we found 103 putative conopeptide precursor amino acid sequences, including the few peptides previously reported for this species. The sequences, predominantly novel based on amino acid sequence, were diverse, comprising 36 gene superfamilies (including the “unassigned” superfamilies). As observed in other Conus species, the O1 gene superfamily was the most diverse (12 distinct sequences) but interestingly none of the sequences were found to contain the conserved amino acids associated with certain bioactivities in peptides found in piscivorous Conus species. The O2 superfamily was also highly diverse but con-ikot-ikot and an unassigned superfamily (MMSRMG) were more diverse than the rest of the superfamilies. In terms of gene expression levels, the understudied MEFRR paralog of the ancestral divergent M---L-LTVA superfamily was found to be the most highly expressed in the transcriptome, suggesting a novel role. Additionally, a conopeptide with high sequence similarity to A2 secretory group XII phospholipases is the first reported member of this phospholipase group in Conus and potentially represents a novel superfamily, expanding the catalog of known phospholipases present in cone snail venoms. The discovery of these putative conopeptides provides the first but early glimpse of the diversity and novelty of the peptides in the Asprella group and sets the stage for their functional characterization.

Authors: Thinh Pham Van
Published: April 2024

Ton That Tung was a renowned Vietnamese doctor in the twentieth century. He was well-known and honored all throughout the world for his famous planned liver resection method, which was named after him. Ton That Tung's route to become a talented doctor was marked not only by scientific endeavors, but also by overcoming several barriers created by biased ideas and discrimination, which were a negative influence of colonialism. Ton That Tung faced discrimination during his studies and employment in terms of scholarships, working hours, pay, and job position. Ton That Tung's scientific research was influenced by prejudice and discrimination due to the French's backward perspective of Western civilization over the East; Many of his outstanding research results took many years to be recognized. Although he encountered many obstacles due to the backward and insidious views of imperial colonialism, Ton That Tung overcame and escaped those obstacles. He became an excellent doctor and a Vietnamese medical celebrity in the 20th century.
Psycho-social dynamics of criminology and humanistic corrections: An appraisal
Authors: Samal Alaka
Published: April 2024

The Constitution of India clearly states under Article 21 that "no person shall be deprived of his right to life or personal liberty except according to the procedure established by law". This is a fundamental human right that acknowledges the spirit of human existence. Article 20 also protects a person's right against conviction. No individual is a criminal by birth. Understanding various psycho-social variables affecting offenders' cognitive and affective processes is important. Family and social environment play a vital role in shaping an individual's behaviour, thought process, motive, and personality. The age-old notion that "Spare the rod, spoil the child" is a punitive way of disciplining undesirable behaviours. It implies harsher the punishment, the better the character of a person. Unfortunately, such belief is supported by law enforcement authorities. On the contrary, the humanistic approach emphasizes the correction of criminal behaviour by inculcating more positive human values and rebuffing punitive measures. The present paper analyses various psycho-social dynamics of criminology and emphasizes adopting the humanistic approach in corrective measures for the reintegration of offenders into the mainstream of society.

Authors: Yadav Ankit , Ghosh Anwesha , Yadav Akhilesh
Published: April 2024

The current study investigates how victims' rights are changing, as the technology advances. The incorporation of innovation and technology into legal systems is critical for ensuring international peace and order in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 16, which emphasises universal access to justice. Governments must regulate social behaviour and ensure the safety and property of their constituents. In India, incidents arise in which accused persons gain from a lack of evidence or evidence that has been tampered with, leaving victims with unfair outcomes, and potentially disrupting social order. This study seeks to investigate the underlying causes of maladministration of justice and violations of victims' rights. It will also investigate potential cures, particularly in terms of technological improvements. This study uses a doctrinal legal research technique to investigate relevant national and international laws and policies. This study contributes to the discussion on improving legal mechanisms by shining a light on existing justice delivery systems and pushing for technological integration. The study acknowledges and expands on prior scholarly work in this topic to provide comprehensive insights.
Effect of Heating Surface Geometry on the Droplets Evaporation under Leidenfrost Conditions
Authors: Orzechowski Tadeusz , Wciślik Sylwia
Published: April 2024

Physical and geometric factors are generally regarded as the main cause of evaporation characteristics of the Leidenfrost droplets levitating above the hot surface. It is well-known and generally accepted that similar research is conducted under different conditions and on individual measurement set-ups. This is one of the potential reasons for the differences in the results of thermal fluxes and computational models in scientific papers. This paper discusses the influence of the heating surface geometry on the heat transfer coefficient h during water drops evaporation under film boiling regime. The variable geometry parameters are the curvature radius of the heating bowl of R = 64 and 254 mm. Individually compiled test stands made it possible to measure the instantaneous drop mass for each R radius and to determine the coefficient h. The methodology was validated by calculating the relative error. It changes with the curvature radius and the droplet size, and for droplet mass from about 2 g to 0.3 g does not exceed ±10%. The heat transfer coefficient h is about 15% higher for a drop located on a surface with a larger radius of curvature. Moreover, the method that was devised allows us to estimate the h value for asymmetric droplet shapes. The advantage of the adopted method of measuring the drop mass over time is the possibility of analyzing heat transfer processes in any drop shape range, even in the case of asymmetric ones. Previous research methods were mainly based on determining the mass of the drop by calculating its volume.
River Erosion Impact on Transport Infrastructure in "Gilort River Nature2000 site", Romania
Authors: Giurea Alexandru-Andrei , Comănescu Laura , Păunescu Cosmin , Nedelea Alexandru , Ilie Laurențiu
Published: April 2024

River erosion is a complex process due to multiple factors, such as climate changes, discharge quantity, the type of transported sediments, and variations in the hydrological regime. This paper aims to analyse river erosion's impact on transport elements' stability (especially on bridges). To do so, a Geomorphic Change Detection analysis was used, which involves calculating the altitude differences between two successive digital models, as a basis for calculating surfaces and volumes of sediments displaced through the erosion process. This analysis was doubled by a series of cross-sections in the proximity of bridges to observe the current river bed configuration and identify the active processes. The variation of these processes is directly dependent on human interventions undertaken to reduce the erosion process and to protect the infrastructure elements. The bridges located in the studied area are in different stages of damage by lateral and depth erosion processes, depending on their intensity and the human interventions made to protect these bridges. The least affected are the bridges where complex measures have been taken (construction of bed sills) or the dynamic processes have a low intensity.

INTRODUÇÃO O  perfil demográfico brasileiro sofreu profundas transformações nas últimas décadas, tais mudanças fizeram com que a presença da figura do cuidador fosse cada vez mais presente nos lares brasileiros. Apesar da unanimidade com relação aos benefícios do paciente com a presença do cuidador, pouca ou nenhuma atenção foi direcionada à saúde da pessoa que convive e lida quase que diariamente com este paciente. OBJETIVO O objetivo do estudo é identificar os transtornos ligados à saúde mental em cuidadores de idosos formais ou informais. METODOLOGIA Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre saúde mental de cuidadores de idosos. Os trabalhos foram selecionados no Pubmed e Scielo, utilizando-se as palavraschaves: cuidadores de idosos (caregivers of older adults) e saúde mental (mental health). Foram destacados 15 artigos de um total de 236. Nessa busca foi possível identificar o perfil da figura do cuidador, assim como a associação entre altos níveis de sobrecarga, ocorrência de sentimento de culpa e distúrbios psiquiátricos. DISCUSSÃO E CONCLUSÃO É notório um maior impacto na saúde mental desse grupo de estudos. Esse cenário é alicerçado, pela  falta de políticas públicas concretas para amparo e suporte aos cuidadores de idosos, resultando em desafios como falta de instrução, falta de regulamentação da profissão e falta de investimento em políticas públicas específicas. É necessário uma abordagem humanizada, reconhecimento da complexidade das funções dos cuidadores e fortalecimento de estratégias de suporte educacional, político, social, financeiro e psicológico para melhorar a qualidade de vida desses profissionais
NATIONAL SECURITY AND LEGAL NIHILISM
Authors: Марченко Д.Э.
Published: April 2024

Достаточно недавно была принята Стратегия национальной безопасности Российской Федерации. В работе рассматривается правовой нигилизм и его проявления – экстремизм и терроризм – как главные угрозы национальной безопасности. На фоне разворачивающихся геополитических конфликтов и изменений в экономике количество выявленных преступлений в сфере экстремизма и терроризма растет. Легальные ценности российского государства и права находятся в серьезной опасности. Общество подверглось серьезному расслоению как в имущественном, так и в идеологическом плане. Противостояние в идеологической сфере неизменно приводит к снижению значимости защищаемых государством ценностей. Состояние общества, в котором отсутствуют или существенно снижена, дезорганизована роль правовых ценностей, называется аномией. Государственная политика в сфере устранения угроз национальной безопасности должна быть направлена на недопущение скатывания общества до состояния аномии, а также на устранение ее причин и условий.

The paper examines legal nihilism and its manifestations – extremism and terrorism, as the main threats to national security. Against the backdrop of unfolding geopolitical conflicts and changes in the economy, the number of detected crimes in the field of extremism and terrorism is growing. The legal values of the Russian state and law are in serious danger. Society has undergone a serious stratification both in terms of property and ideology. Confrontation in the ideological sphere invariably leads to a decrease in the importance of values protected by the state. The state of the society in which the role of legal values is absent or significantly reduced or disorganized is called anomie. State policy in the field of eliminating threats to national security should be aimed at over-coming the prevention of society's descent into a state of anomie, eliminating its causes and conditions.

Authors: Новопавловская Е.Е. , Жеребцов В.А.
Published: April 2024

В статье анализируются некоторые направления санкционного процесса, активно начатого коллективным Западом еще в 2014 году и усилившегося после начала специальной военной операции. Актуальность данной тематики обусловлена тем, что санкции имеют серьезные негативные последствия не только для Российской Федерации в целом, но и для каждого из нас. Санкционная политика Запада справедливо названа Президентом Российской Федерации В. В. Путиным «осознанной долгосрочной стратегией, цель которой состоит в том числе в том, чтобы нанести удар по каждой семье, по каждому гражданину России». В этой связи наша страна вынуждена противостоять политике недружественных государств, реагируя на антироссийские санкции различными мерами правотворческого и правоприменительного характера, о чем идет речь в настоящем исследовании.

The article analyzes some areas of the sanctions process which was actively launched by the collective West back in 2014 and intensified after the start of a special military operation. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that sanctions have serious negative consequences not only for the Russian Federation as a whole, but also for each of us. The sanction policy of the West was correctly titled by the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin, “a conscious long-term strategy, the goal of which is, among other things, to strike at every family, at every citizen of Russia”. In this regard, our country is forced to resist the policies of unfriendly states, responding to anti-Russian sanctions with various law-making and law enforcement measures, which is discussed in this study.

Published: April 2024

One of the most important modes of transportation in cities and suburbs is walking. In large urban areas, walking reduces traffic congestion. However, data indicates that Bangkok is responsible for 1 in 3 pedestrian accidents per year, with an average of 900 such incidents taking place there. Furthermore, based on data collected from 2013 to 2017, car-pedestrian collisions are categorized by the highest severity index due to the average of 55 fatalities per 100 accidents. These statistics show that there are, on average, 740 pedestrian-vehicle incidents annually. The data indicates that to lower the number of pedestrian fatalities, walking mode needs to be enhanced. Consequently, the investigator was interested in determining how crossing facilities and people's attitudes are related. The goal of this research is to examine significant variables that influence how pedestrians feel about crossing the street. A questionnaire was used to collect data, which was separated into two sections: attitude about crossing the road and attitude regarding safety when crossing the road. The study's sample crosswalks are located on Chaeng Watthana Road, Lat Krabang Road, and King Kaew Road. Descriptive statistics and linear regression were employed in the analysis to consider social characteristics, variables related to past road crossing experience, variables regarding attitudes toward using road crossings, and variables regarding crossing facilities. Results from 412 questionnaires show that the number of traffic lanes, vehicle volume and vehicle speed were determined to be the primary factors significantly reducing the attitude of security that one feels when crossing the street. Furthermore, the outcomes held up when descriptive statistics were used for analysis. It was discovered that push-button traffic lights had the biggest influence on attitudes of safety when it came to attitudes regarding crossing facilities.

This paper proposes a predictive model to help oil workers build a reliable model for identifying oilwell failures. It can help geologists experienced with Machine Learning to improve the accuracy of failure identification and a more accurate approach to well-maintenance planning. This study is based on output data statistics such as per-well daily oil flowmeter readings. The volatility of these indications makes it possible to determine the probability of an oilwell failure. This method makes it possible to rank wells according to the principle of the most probable failures for workers making decisions. The use of predictive diagnostics can help to detect equipment problems early, thereby minimizing unplanned downtime. Unplanned sudden oilwell failures increase the company’s operating costs, as well as increase risks of environmental pollution. Keywords: machine learning; classification algorithms; oil and gas; prediction algorithms; decision-making.

Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of field experimental studies of wellhead and bottomhole pressure fluctuations at different operating modes of gas-liquid lift. As a result of the research, it was found that at the optimal operating mode of gas lift well there is minimum amplitude and maximum frequency of wellhead and bottomhole pressure fluctuations, which agrees well with the results of previously, conducted theoretical and experimental laboratory studies. It is shown that the increase in the amplitude and decrease in the frequency of wellhead and bottomhole pressure fluctuations is observed when gas injection deviates from the optimal one, both in the direction of increasing and decreasing gas injection. The possibility of assessing the optimal operating mode of gas-lift and flowing wells on the basis of analyzing the fluctuations of technological parameters during normal operation without special testing operations has been established. A methodology for assessing the efficiency of gas-lift and flowing wells operation mode based on the application of various methods of time series analysis was created. Keywords: gas lift well; gas-liquid flow; optimal rate; wellhead pressure; fluctuation.

In the presented work, a comprehensive analysis of geological and commercial data on three low-yielding deposits associated with the East Orenburg arch was carried out. Based on the use of the methodology for calculating statistical values of the truncated normal distribution, a formula is proposed adapted for unproductive facilities, the drainage of which is carried out using special technologies and equipment (short-term periodic operation mode) and (or) in a classical way with an unstable supply coefficient of deep-pumping equipment. Based on the comparison of the obtained intermediate and main research results, the regularities of geological, technological and operational characters have been established, which significantly improve the efficiency of planning and conducting various geological and technical measures. The general trend of similarity in quantitative and qualitative ratio is highlighted, which allows us to use this to solve specific problems of effective development of low-productive deposits of carbonate reservoirs. Keywords: mechanized well stock; geological and statistical models; mathematical modeling; deep pumping equipment; oil recovery coefficient; hydrodynamics of reservoir processes.

This paper studies the determinants of banking crises or fragility in Malawi. In this study we modelled banking crisis conditions in a developing country banking sector applying a Logistic Regression model using data for Malawi for the period 1980 to 2022. We embedded banking crisis dummy, bank specific and macroeconomic drivers of crisis in the model. Our study finds that under crisis conditions macroeconomic, monetary and fiscal drivers such as the ratio of external debt stock to gross national income ratio, debt service costs to primary export revenue ratio, broad money to GDP ratio, changes in real interest rates, growth in real GDP, total reserves to GDP ratio has a negative and significant impact on banking crisis and fragility in Malawi. These findings are important for policy makers especially in an environment where fiscal dominance is prevalent and drives a significant build up of domestic debt (treasury assets) on the banks’ balance sheets.
