Kunststof dromen
Authors: Duisters Sara
Published: December 2023

Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog experimenteerden architecten en bedrijven met het gebruik van glasvezelversterkt polyester (gvp) in de architectuur. Dit mengsel van polyester en glasvezel werd in die tijd gezien als een ideaal bouwmateriaal: het is sterk, makkelijk te vervormen en weegt weinig. Tot nu toe is er nog weinig onderzoek gedaan naar het gebruik van gvp in de Nederlandse architectuur. Dit artikel onderzoekt de maatschappelijke veranderingen die belangrijk waren bij de keuze van architecten en bedrijven om gvp toe te passen.Aan de experimenten met gvp in de architectuur liggen een aantal maatschappelijke veranderingen ten grondslag. Ten eerste zochten verschillende fabrieken in de vervoersmiddelenindustrie na de oorlog naar nieuwe afzetmarkten waar ze hun expertise op het gebied van gvp konden inzetten. Deze vonden ze in de woningbouw. Het kunststofmateriaal was namelijk goed bruikbaar binnen de systeembouw, waarmee in snel tempo huizen werden gebouwd. Door de enorme draagkracht en de fabrieksmatige productie was gvp geschikt voor sandwichplaten die bij deze bouwmethode werden gebruikt. Ten tweede heerste in Nederland een optimistisch gevoel over de toekomst. Architecten dachten na over nieuwe, flexibele vormen van wonen. Ze maakten ontwerpen die bewoners de vrijheid boden hun woning zelf in te delen, uit te breiden en zelfs te verplaatsen. Ook meenden sommigen dat het uiterlijk van gebouwen moest veranderen; bij een nieuwe tijd hoorden nieuwe vormen. De gebouwen moesten een optimistisch toekomstbeeld uitdragen en gvp kon makkelijk in allerlei vormen en kleuren worden uitgevoerd. In 1973 werd door de oliecrisis aardolie echter fors duurder, waardoor de inzet van gvp in grootschalige woningbouwprojecten niet langer rendabel kon zijn.Veel van de gebouwen met gvp zijn inmiddels gesloopt. De vroegste voorbeelden van waren vaak experimentele prototypes. Deze werden maar één keer uitgevoerd en waren niet bedoeld voor een langdurige bewoning. Als materiaal voor woningbouw is kunststof nooit echt populair geworden. Mensen durfden hun huizen van baksteen of beton niet zomaar in te wisselen voor een kunststof variant. Daarnaast is het restaureren en conserveren van gebouwen van gvp een probleem, omdat daarover in de erfgoedsector nog weinig kennis is.Toch neemt de aandacht voor kunststof architectuur in de erfgoedsector toe, waarbij steeds meer wordt ingezet op het behoud in plaats van sloop. Deze nieuwe benadering vloeit voort uit de groeiende interesse voor architectuur van na 1965. Het negatieve beeld van gvp-architectuur lijkt langzaam te kantelen.

Published: December 2023

Malaria continues to be the main community health problem in numerous nations. Six species of Plasmodium are documented as the cause of human malaria infection. Among others, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax parasites produce an immense challenge in the public health. Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae are the major transimmiter of the disease (malaria) from one person to another. The disease parasite has a complicated cycle of life that occurs in human and mosquitoes. In general, malaria diagnosis is divided into parasitological and clinical diagnosis. Internationally, the death rate of malaria becomes reduced although few records from Ethiopia describe the presence of raised prevalence of malaria in certain areas. Apart from reduction in incidence and prevalence, transmission of malaria is continued throughout the globe. Hence, its control needs a combined approach comprising treatment with effective antimalarial agents. A lot of novel compounds are under pre-clinical and clinical studies that are triggered by the occurrence of resistance among commonly used antimalarial drugs. In addition to the already known new compounds and targets for drug discovery, scientists from all corner of the world are in search of novel targets and chemical entities.

Authors: Mubarack Kirumirah , Kayunze Kim , Ringo Justin
Published: December 2023

The paper determines the status of street vending activities in the country, based on street vendors’ views, and compares the views before and after the 5th government. The paper uses a mixed methods research approach with a concurrent embedded design. Data were collected from September 2020 to February 2021 from 371 respondents from Dar es Salaam and Mwanza cities through proportionate Stratfied sampling. Data were collected by a questionnaire and analysed by computing descriptive statistics and running a Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The findings indicated that street perceived themselves illegal before the 5th government and legal “but based on political pronouncements” from the 5th government onwards. It is concluded that street vending is currently tolerated but not legal in Tanzania. Thus, the central and local governments should enact a street vending legalisation policy to minimise future clashes between street vendors and para-military troops, when political pronouncements are revoked.

English to Arabic Machine Translation of Mathematical Documents
Authors: Eddahibi Mustapha , Mensouri Mohammed
Published: December 2023

This paper is about the development of a machine translation system tailored specifically for LATEX mathematical documents. The system focuses on translating English LATEX mathematical documents into Arabic LATEX, catering to the growing demand for multilingual accessibility in scientific and mathematical literature. With the vast proliferation of LATEX mathematical documents the need for an efficient and accurate translation system has become increasingly essential. This paper addresses the necessity for a robust translation tool that enables seamless communication and comprehension of complex mathematical content across language barriers. The proposed system leverages a Transformer model as the core of the translation system, ensuring enhanced accuracy and fluency in the translated Arabic LATEX documents. Furthermore, the integration of RyDArab, an Arabic mathematical TEX extension, along with a rule-based translator for Arabic mathematical expressions, contributes to the precise rendering of complex mathematical symbols and equations in the translated output. The paper discusses the architecture, methodology, of the developed system, highlighting its efficacy in bridging the language gap in the domain of mathematical documentation.
Learning Spline Models with the EM Algorithm for Shape Recognition
Authors: A. Al-Shaher Abdullah , S. AlKhawari Yusef
Published: December 2023

This paper demonstrates how cubic Spline (B-Spline) models can be used to recognize 2-dimension nonrigid handwritten isolated characters. Each handwritten character is represented by a set of nonoverlapping uniformly distributed landmarks. The Spline models are constructed by utilizing cubic order of polynomial to model the shapes under study. The approach is a two-stage process. The first stage is learning, we construct a mixture of spline class parameters to capture the variations in spline coefficients using the apparatus Expectation Maximization algorithm. The second stage is recognition, here we use the Fréchet distance to compute the variations between the spline models and test spline shape for recognition. We test the approach on a set of handwritten Arabic letters
Maximum Throughput First Access Point Selection Scheme for Multi-Rate Software-Defined Wireless Network
Authors: A. Mogaibel Hassen , Hashim Majed
Published: December 2023

As the number of devices increases, many businesses deploy multiple access points (APs) in neighboring areas to provide Internet service. In such networks, a mobile station (MS) often has multiple APs within its coverage area, and deciding which AP to associate with becomes a significant issue that can influence network performance. Software Defined Network (SDN) has recently become a popular technology for making intelligent mobile station assignment decisions for APs. In a multi-rate Wi-Fi network, the actual bandwidth of high-rate links can be reduced to that of low-rate links. In this paper, we propose a Maximum Throughput First (MTF)AP selection scheme, which is a refinement of existing Mininet Wi-Fi mechanisms. MTF considers the parameters of actual throughput achieved by the access point and the number of associated stations as selection metrics when making the association decision. The simulation results show that MTF provides better performance, especially in multi-rate environments.
Write Buffer Partitioning with Rename Register Capping in Multithreaded Cores
Authors: Diaz Allan , Lin Wei-Ming
Published: December 2023

In simultaneous multithreaded systems, there are several pipeline resources that are shared amongst multiple threads concurrently. Some of these mutual resources to mention are the register-file and the write buffer. The Physical Register file is a critical shared resource in these types of systems due to the limited number of rename registers available for renaming. The write buffer, another shared resource, is also crucial since it serves as an intermediary between the retirement of a store instruction and the writing of its value to cache. Both components, if not configured accurately, can serve as a bottleneck in inefficient usage of the resources and output undesirable performance. However, when configuring both shared components concurrently, there is potential to all eviate common performance congestion. This paper shows that when implementing a static register capping algorithm (limiting the number of physical register entries for each thread), there is a byproduct of increased variety in source for the write buffer. This also presents an opportunity for the write buffer to have a higher variety to potentially choose for a better suitable thread asit’s source at certain clock cycles. With this presented opportunity, this paper proposes a technique to allow the write buffer to both prioritize and enforce the choice for low-latency threads by partitioning the write buffer in two sections; cache-hit priority and cachehit only partitions, showing that system performance and resource efficiency can be further improved by using this technique in a modified SMT environment.
Novel R&D Capabilities as a Response to ESG Risks-Lessons From Amazon’s Fusion of Diverse Knowledge
Authors: Tou Yuji , Watanabe Chihiro
Published: December 2023

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management is essential for transforming corporate financial performance-oriented business strategies into Finance (F) + ESG optimization strategies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this trend, the rise of ESG risks has divided firms into two categories. Former incorporates a growthmindset that creates a passion for learning, and urges it to improve itself by endeavoring Research and development (R&D) -driven challenges, while the other category, characterized by risk aversion, avoids challenging highly uncertain R&D activities and seeks more manageable endeavors. This duality underscores the complexity of corporate R&D strategies in addressing ESG risks and necessitates the development of novel R&D capabilities for corporate R&D transformation strategies towards F + ESG optimization. Building on this premise, this paper conducts an empirical analysis, utilizing reliable firms data on ESG risk and brand value, with a focus on 100 global R&D leader firms. It analyzes R&D and actions for ESG risk mitigation, and assesses the development of new functions that fulfill F + ESG optimization through R&D. The analysis also highlights the significance of network externality effects, with a specific focus on Amazon, a leading R&D company, providing insights into the direction for transforming R&D strategies towards F + ESG optimization. The dynamics of stakeholder engagement in F + ESG optimization are indicated with the example of amazon's activities. Through the analysis, it became evident that Amazon's capacity encompassing growth and scalability, specifically its ability to grow and expand, is accelerating high-level research and development by gaining the trust of stakeholders in the "synergy through R&D-driven ESG risk mitigation." Finally, as examples of these initiatives, the paper discussed the Climate Pledge led by Amazon and the transformation of Japan's management system.

Eliticide: The Main Examples
Authors:   Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Foundation, Poghosyan Narek
Published: December 2023

The issue of the annihilation of the elite and the intelligentsia plays an important role in the context of genocides, massacres, as well as the deprivation and control of the intellectual potential of a given nation or state. There have been cases throughout history, when elites have been deliberately targeted in order to exterminate different racial, ethnic, religious groups or commit cultural genocide. Due to this circumstance the topic received the attention of the author of the term “Genocide” Raphael Lemkin, who considered the destruction of the intelligentsia and the elite from the social, physical and cultural aspects of genocide. However, it is interesting, that the destruction of the intelligentsia and the elite did not receive a specific definition for a long time until the term “eliticide” or “elitocide” was introduced in 1992. And since the phenomenon of eliticide is comparatively little studied, in this article we tried to present and to analyze its most obvious examples – the destruction of the elite of the Armenian intelligentsia during the Armenian Genocide, the eliticide carried out by Nazi Germany in Poland, as well as cases of eliticide in Tibet, Cambodia, Burundi, Bangladesh, Bosnia. The extermination of the elite during the Armenian Genocide was widespread, although the most famous is the arrest and murder of Armenian intellectuals in Constantinople on April 24 1915. And the peculiarity of this genocide is that the eliticide was an integral part of the extermination of Armenians on the territory of the Ottoman Empire, therefore it is considered as a separate stage of the genocide. And unlike the eliticide committed during the Armenian Genocide, the extermination of the elite in Poland, Tibet, Burundi, Bangladesh and Bosnia was not in the context of the complete annihilation of the targeted ethnic or religious group, but in the context of erasing the identity of the group and cultural genocide. And the extermination of the intelligentsia during the Cambodian genocide was more in the context of the anti-intellectual campaign.

This article attempts to calculate the Armenian death toll because of the 1922 Smyrna catastrophe, based on a comparative analysis of data from the main Armenian and foreign sources. For this aim the article presents and analyses: a) Historiography related to the studied question; b) Data from the most important sources on the total death toll (Greeks, Armenians and representatives of other Christian denominations), on the basis of which conclusions are made about the most probable, in our opinion, total death toll; c) Data on the numbers of the Armenian population of the city of Smyrna and its environs on the eve of the Armenian Genocide; as well as on the numbers of Armenians gathered in Smyrna on the eve of the capture of the city by the Kemalists in September 1922; d) Data on the numbers of Armenians who died because of the Smyrna catastrophe; e) Data on the numbers of Armenian refugees evacuated from Smyrna and its environs and received asylum in Greece and other countries; these data are compared with data on the numbers of the Armenian population of the western regions of Asia Minor before the Smyrna catastrophe, as of 1921; f) Question of losses among Armenians of military age, detained in Smyrna and its environs and deported to the hinterland of Turkey. According to our calculations, about 5,000-5,500 Armenians died because of the Smyrna catastrophe, of which about 4,000 died because of fire and massacres, and about 1,000-1,500 (15-45 years old men) lost their lives in captivity and exile. Armenian victims accounted for about a quarter of the total death toll (20-22,000).

After the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine production technologies have become the focus of attention of researchers. As a matter of fact, recombinant protein-based antigen production, which is one of them, has taken its place in the first place. Proteins obtained by recombinant DNA technology are used in many industrial areas, especially vaccine applications, due to their reliability. Therefore, it is very important to produce targeted recombinant proteins in large quantities. This study, for the high amounts production of Omp25 protein, which is used as a vaccine candidate against brucellosis, in laboratory conditions, is aimed to reveal the effects of conditions that are the pre-culturing process, inoculation in LB or TB media, denatured or native purification, culturing with/without IPTG. All the results were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, confirmed Western Blot, and the total protein amounts were measured Bradford method. According to the results, Omp25 protein could not be obtained under native purification conditions in both cultures without induction, but it was observed under denatured conditions. This result can be explained that the protein in the cell is either misfolded or incorporated into the membrane. The amount of protein appears to be much higher in the presence of the inducer in both media inoculated with the starter pre-culture compared to the overnight pre-culture; 8.79 mg and 39.4 mg from 1 L culture, respectively. Additionally, as expected, the addition of IPTG increased the amount of protein, approximately one-and-a-half-fold for LB and about three-fold for TB. Finally, it was observed that TB medium provided higher protein production than LB, which can be explained by the presence of glycerol and high yeast extract in the medium. Although our study contains results that will attract the attention of vaccine industry, it should be kept in mind that all process should always be optimized depending on the structure of the targeted protein and thus the production amount can be further increased.

Amaç ve kapsam: Türkiye’de binlerce can kaybına yol açan pek çok deprem yaşanmıştır. Bunlardan birisi olan 6 Şubat Pazarcık depremi çok miktarda can ve mal kaybına neden olmuştur. Doğu Anadolu fay hattı üzerinde oluşan bu depremler başta deprem odak noktasının yer aldığı şehirler olmak üzere, Osmaniye’de büyük kayıplara yol açmıştır. Afad İl Müdürlüğünden alınan veriler doğrultusunda; kentte toplam 9011 adet konut ağır hasarlı, 531 adet acil yıkılacak konut ve 679 adet yıkılmış konut bulunmaktadır. Deprem sonrası normalleşme aşamasında ilk olarak çözümlenmesi gereken konu barınma problemidir. Çalışmada; inşaatına başlanan konutların yer seçimi, projelendirilmesi ve bunların yörenin sosyo-ekonomik, kültürel yapısıyla ilgili yönleri incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Methodoloji: Çalışmada gözlem, fotoğraflama, anket ve görüşme teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Osmaniye’de meydana gelen yıkımlar için Toprakkale ilçesinde inşaatına başlanan deprem konutları ve Hasanbeyli ilçesinde yapımı devam eden afet konutları için 280 soruluk anket uygulanmıştır. Sorular SPSS veri programında değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma Sınırlamaları: Araştırma Osmaniye Toprakkale ve Hasanbeyli’de yapımı devam eden afet konutlarıyla sınırlandırılmıştır. Bulgular: Farklı demografik verilere sahip iki farklı alan üzerinde yapılan çalışmada sorunların ortak, ihtiyaçların farklı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan anketlerle her iki bölgedeki katılımcıların yeni yerleşim yerinden memnun olmadıkları, konutları genel olarak iyi, orta başlığında değerlendirdikleri ancak konutların bölgesel ihtiyaçları karşılamadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çıkarımlar: Depremzedelere afet konutu üretim süreci yalnızca barınma probleminin çözümü olarak görülmemeli, toplumsal, sosyo-kültürel ihtiyaçların tümüne cevap veren bir fiziksel çevre oluşturma süreci olarak ele alınmalıdır. Sonuçlar: Önceden tasarlanmış olan tip projeleri her afet bölgesinde uygulamak yerine, bölgeye özgü çözümler öngörülmelidir. Deprem sonrası kalıcı konut tasarımına kullanıcı ve paydaşların dâhil edilmesi başarı düzeyini arttıracaktır.
"الأصوات الأسنانية في اللغة العربية واللغات السامية: دراسة من منظور علم الأصوات "ث – ذ – ظ

يهدف هذا البحث إلى التحليل الفوناتيكي في إطار الأصوات الأسنانية، لذلك يقتصر البحث على الأصوات الثلاثة وهي (الثاء – الذال – الظاء) في هذه الدراسة، ويضم التحليل الفوناتيكي للأصوات الأسنانية أربعة عناصر وهي: عمل أعضاء النطق، ومخارج الأصوات، وصفات الأصوات الكتاية الصوتية، ويتم هذا التحليل وفق منهجين من خلال الدراسة. إضافة إلى ذلك تتطرق الدراسة إلى تغيّرات هذه الأصوات في اللغات السامية من خلال التحليل. يتبع البحث المنهج الوصفي التحليلي في محاولاته وصف الموضوع أولاً، ثم يتم استخدام المنهج التراثي عند التمييز بين صفات هذه الأصوات عند القدماء والمحدثين، ويستخدم المنهج التاريخي المقارن في إبراز أشكال هذه الأصوات في اللغات السامية وإلقاء نظرة على التطور التاريخي لها من خلال التحليل الفوناتيكي، أما تحليل الأمثلة فيضم المنهج التاريخي المقارن والمنهج التوليدي التحويلي. من أبرز نتائج البحث: أن تغيّر الأصوات الأسنانية إلى الأصوات الأخرى موجود في اللغات السامية وبعض اللهجات، وأسباب هذه التغييرات قد تعود إلى أسباب تاريخية، وقد تعود إلى أسباب صوتية، لكننا نرى هذه التغييرات بين الأصوات المتقاربة من ناحية صفاتها أو مخارجها، أي هذه الأصوات تضم السمات المعلمة إلا بعض السمات فقط، إضافة إلى ذلك هذه التغييرات ما أدت إلى تغيير المعنى، وهي تدل على تغيير الصوت فقط، ولذلك التغييرات تضم القواعد الاختيارية وليست القواعد الإجبارية.
توظيف التراث في الشعر العراقي الحديث (عبد الرزاق عبد الواحد أنموذجا)
Authors: HALLAF Halid
Published: December 2023

اهتم الباحث في هذا البحث بدراسة توظيف التراث العربي في الشعر العراقي الحديث، وتناول الباحث قصائد الشاعر عبد الرزاق عبد الواحد بوصفه أحد النماذج الرائدة في الشعر العراقي الحديث، فقد كان رائدا من رواد قصيدة التفعيلة التي ظهرت في العراق في منتصف القرن الماضي، كما كان من الشعراء المميزين الذين أجادوا نظم القصيدة العمودية في شكلها القديم، وقد بلغ شعره منزلة كبيرة في ديوان الشعر العراقي، ولقد اعتمدت القصيدة العراقية على توظيف التراث اعتمادا كبيرا، وقد تنوع استدعاء التراث وتوظيفه في الشعر، فجاء على ثلاث صور، كان أولها وأكثرها شيوعا توظيف التراث الديني بما فيه من معتقدات دينية ونصوص قرآنية، وبما تميز به رموز دينية كالأنبياء والصحابة وغيرهم، كما كان توظيف التراث التاريخي حاضرا بصورة كثيفة في الشعر العراقي، وظهر هذا جليا في قصائد عبد الرزاق عبد الواحد من خلال توظيف الوقائع والأحداث التاريخية الشهيرة، والربط بينها وبين أحداث ووقائع حديثة مماثلة لها، ونال توظيف التراث الأدبي والشعبي حظه في قصائد الشاعر، لا سيما استحضار رموز الأدب العربي القديم كالمتنبي والبحتري وابن زيدون وغيرهم، فاستدعى الشاعر العديد من الشعراء العرب الكبار في قصائده، ووظف العديد من الحكايات الأدبية والشعبية المأثورة في التراث العربي، وكان توظيفه لها توظيفا بديعا أثرى نصه الشعرى، ورفعه إلى منازل متقدمة بين نصوص الشعر العراقي الحديث، فنال ذيوعا وشهرة كبيرة حتى سمي الشاعر بالمتنبي الأخير.
