Authors: Niyati Bhat Et. al
Published: February 2024

The convergence of augmented reality (AR) and deep learning has emerged as a transformative paradigm in the field of mechanical engineering, revolutionizing the design and maintenance processes. This paper explores the integration of AR and deep learning technologies to create a synergistic framework that enhances efficiency, precision, and overall performance in mechanical engineering applications. The fusion of AR, a technology that overlays digital information onto the physical world, and deep learning, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) characterized by intricate neural networks, presents a groundbreaking approach to address the challenges faced in the design and maintenance phases of mechanical systems. In the design realm, this integration facilitates a more immersive and collaborative environment for engineers and designers. AR provides real-time visualization of complex 3D models and simulations, allowing engineers to interact with virtual prototypes overlaid onto physical objects. [1] Deep learning algorithms enable predictive modeling and analysis, enhancing the understanding of system behavior under various conditions. The combination empowers designers to iterate rapidly, make informed decisions, and optimize designs, ultimately reducing time-to-market and improving overall product quality. In the maintenance domain, the AR and deep learning integration transforms traditional approaches by offering intelligent and context-aware solutions. AR-enabled smart glasses or devices equipped with computer vision capabilities allow technicians to access real-time data, such as equipment specifications, maintenance procedures, and live diagnostics. Deep learning algorithms enhance fault detection and predictive maintenance by analyzing historical data and identifying patterns indicative of potential issues. This proactive approach minimizes downtime, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of mechanical systems. The paper illuminates the potential of their integration in reshaping the landscape of mechanical engineering. The presented framework not only fosters innovation in design and maintenance but also sets the stage for a new era in which intelligent technologies work in tandem to propel the field forward.

Burke y De Maistre: dos respuestas conservadoras a la Revolución francesa
Authors: Rodríguez Doval Fernando
Published: February 2024

The French Revolution profoundly altered European life, and its influence quickly reached America. Positions that opposed its ideological and political postulates arose very soon against it. Two of these positions attract attention: that of Edmund Burke and Joseph de Maistre. Both reactions severely question the Revolution from a conservative perspective but took different paths. The former will give rise to a possibilistic and procedural conservatism, compatible with liberalism; while the latter will initiate a counterrevolutionary and maximalist conservative tradition that will drift towards integralism.
Menelisik Spiritualitas Gerakan Pentakostal-Kharismatik dalam Potret Megachurch di Indonesia
Authors: Simanjuntak Fredy
Published: February 2024

This study examines the notable expansion of Indonesian churches in urban areas, particularly in relation to the Pentecostal-Charismatic movement and its subsequent metamorphosis into megachurches. This phenomenon has become indisputable in the modern church's image, giving it a unique symbolism in the culture at large. With their expressive worship styles, vibrant environments, modern music, expansive stages, and inspirational sermons, these churches provide a distinctive religious experience. Even though this movement is gaining traction and expanding quickly, the research also draws attention to the idea that megachurches are a kind of religious commodification that may be more designed to appeal to the general public. As a result, the purpose of this study is to determine whether this transformation is only on the surface or if it includes comprehensive changes in the structure and essence of the church. The research method used is phenomenology, and theologically, this research finds a strong foundation for this movement in the Bible. The findings of this study show that, despite the criticism leveled at it, the megachurch movement has had a positive impact on the spiritual growth of its congregation, demonstrating that the megachurch phenomenon is not only superficial, but also includes a profound transformation in their spiritual experience.Keywords: pentecostal-charismatic movement; spirituality; megachurch; IndonesiaAbstrakPenelitian ini mengeksplorasi pertumbuhan gereja yang signifikan di daerah perkotaan di Indonesia, khususnya dalam konteks gerakan Pentakostal-Kharismatik yang kemudian mengalami transformasi menjadi gereja raksasa atau megachurch. Fenomena ini menjadi tak terbantahkan dalam gambaran gereja kontemporer, menciptakan simbolisme khas dalam masyarakat modern. Gereja-gereja ini menawarkan pengalaman religius yang unik dengan gaya ibadah ekspresif, suasana yang aktif, musik kontemporer, panggung yang megah, dan khotbah motivasional. Meskipun gerakan ini mendapat dukungan dan pertumbuhan pesat, penelitian ini juga menyoroti kritik terhadap konsep gereja mega sebagai komodifikasi agama yang mungkin lebih ditujukan untuk menarik massa. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri apakah transformasi ini hanya terjadi di permukaan atau mencakup perubahan menyeluruh dalam struktur dan esensi gereja. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah fenomenologi, dan secara teologis, penelitian ini menemukan dasar yang kuat dalam Alkitab untuk gerakan ini. Hasil penelitian ini merinci bahwa, di samping kritik yang muncul, gerakan ini memiliki dampak positif dalam pertumbuhan spiritual para jemaatnya, menunjukkan bahwa fenomena gereja raksasa tidak hanya bersifat permukaan, tetapi mencakup transformasi yang mendalam dalam pengalaman rohaniah mereka.Kata Kunci: Gerakan Pentakostal-Kharismatik; Spiritualitas; Megachurch; Indonesia

Liver cirrhosis is a medical condition characterized by atrophy, fibrosis and physiological malfunctioning of the liver. This ailment may or may not be associated with liver carcinoma, which can be diagnosed via alphafetoprotein (AFP) blood test. The liver is a multi-tasking organ responsible for enzyme synthesis and toxin degradation; the patient with cirrhosis falls prone to various health issues such as jaundice, malaise, nausea, fatigue, swellings, loss of appetite, accumulation of fluid in the abdominal spaces, weight loss etc. This hepatic pathology, in later stages, is fatal. This disease leads to the annual mortality of 4000 lives in the UK and is the 12th major life-threatening disease in the USA. Chronic infection with HCV (hepatitis C virus), HBV (hepatitis B virus), and alcohol consumption are major factors of liver cirrhosis. Due to its slower progression (as it develops over months), liver cirrhosis can be detected earlier via diagnostic tools like CT (Computed Tomography) scan, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan, liver biopsy etc. Liver cirrhosis is the major reason for liver transplants around the world. It is more common in males than females and is prevalent in developing countries. Pakistan has an enormous burden of liver cirrhosis. This article briefly discusses the recent developments in the understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis and frequency of liver cirrhosis in the Pakistani population.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network offers a variety of applications in public safety, disaster management, advertising and broadcasting, overload situation, etc. Due to the dynamic characteristics of MU, it is challenging to provide robust transmission services to mobile users (MU). Resource allocation (RA), including sub-channel, serving user, and transmit power, is a crucial problem; also, it is critical to enhance the coverage and energy efficiency of UAV-enabled communication protocol. Furthermore, system resources are limited (for example, spectrum, and transmission power) and UAV transmission coverage and on-board energy are limited. In order to meet the QoE of any user with limited UAV energy and limited resource system, we jointly enhance UAV trajectory, user communication scheduling, and bandwidth allocation and transmit power to satisfy user QoE requirements and increase energy efficiency. Thus, the study proposes a new mud ring optimization with deep belief network-based resource allocation scheme (MRODBN-RAS) technique for UAV-enabled wireless networks. The proposed MRODBN-RAS approach focuses on the effectual accomplishment of the computational and energy-effective decision. Besides, the MRODBN-RAS technique assumed the UAV as a learning agent by forming RA decisions as actions. In addition, the MRODBN-RAS technique designed a reward function to reduce the weighted resource utilization. The MRODBN-RAS technique uses DBN model with hyperparameter tuning using MRO algorithm to allocate the resources. The design of the MRO algorithm helps in the optimal selection of the hyperparameter related to the DBN model. The simulation results of the MRODBN-RAS method are examined under various measures. The extensive comparison study highlighted the better performance of the MRODBN-RAS approach over existing techniques.

Evaluating aspartate–platelet ratio index: A potential non-invasive tool for liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices detection
Authors: Fazal Abdul , K Mohammed , H Neha
Published: February 2024

Background: The global health challenge posed by liver cirrhosis, notably its progression to complications such as esophageal varices, necessitates advancements in diagnostic techniques.

Aims and Objectives: This study probes the aspartate–platelet ratio index (APRI) capability, a non-invasive diagnostic approach, in effectively managing liver cirrhosis and foreseeing the development of esophageal varices.

Materials and Methods: The research at MES Medical College in Perinthalmanna included a cohort of 114 ultrasonographically diagnosed liver cirrhosis patients. Utilizing established formulae, the APRI score was computed and juxtaposed with the incidence and gravity of esophageal varices, ascertained through endoscopic examinations. The analysis encompassed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluation alongside descriptive and inferential statistical methodologies.

Results: Within the participant group, the average age was 59.35 years, with males constituting 64.04% of the sample. Notably, 83.33% of the subjects were found to have esophageal varices varying in severity. The APRI score’s predictive capability was moderate (ROC curve area=0.655), indicating limitations in its sole use for diagnosing esophageal varices.

Conclusion: While user-friendly and non-intrusive, the APRI score exhibits limited effectiveness in the specific diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and in forecasting the emergence of esophageal varices. Its utility, primarily in signaling liver fibrosis, does not extend robustly as an independent diagnostic tool in clinical scenarios. This study underscores an urgent need for extended research to affirm APRI’s accuracy in diverse liver disease stages and anticipate associated complications.

Published: February 2024

Background:
A commercially significant species in the aquaculture sector globally, particularly in Egypt, is Litopenaeus vannamei.
Aim:
The experiment's objective was to ascertain how Sanolife PRO-F impacted the growth, water quality, immunological response, and intestinal morphometry of Litopenaeus vannamei.
Methods:
In the current investigation, which lasted 12 weeks, Sanolife PRO-F was administered to shrimp post-larvae at diet doses of 0 (control), 1 (group one), 2 (group two), and 3 (group three) g/kg diet, respectively. Each experimental group had three repetitions.
Results:
In the current study, shrimp fed on probiotic-treated diets showed a considerable improvement in growth performance measures and survival rate, and the nonspecific immune response was also enhanced. Shrimp fed probiotic diets had longer and more intestinal villi overall. Shrimp fed on the G2 and G3 diets showed no appreciable differences in growth or intestinal morphology. With the G2 and G3 diet, the water had lower concentrations of nitrite and ammonia.
Conclusion:
The study's findings indicate that Sanolife PRO-F treatment at 2-3 g/kg feed promotes the growth of shrimp, immunological response, gut health and function, and water quality.
Screening of antibiogram, virulence factors and biofilm production of Staphylococcus aureus and the bio-control role of some probiotics as alternative antibiotics
Authors: Mohammed Aya , Said Esmat , ElAal Salah , Kamal Rania
Published: February 2024

Background:
Food safety is a serious challenge in the face of increasing population and diminishing resources. Staphylococcus aureus is a critical foodborne pathogen characterized by its capability to secret a diverse range of heat-resistant enterotoxins. Antibiotic usage in dairy herds resulted in the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance patterns among bacterial species, which were consequently transmitted to human via the dairy products. Lactic acid bacteria produce bacteriocins, which provide an excellent source of natural antimicrobials with the further advantage of being environmentally friendly and safe.
Aim:
Detection of MDR S. aureus isolates in concerned samples, molecular characteristics, biofilm production and the inhibitory role of LAB against it.
Methods:
Random samples of raw milk and other dairy products were analyzed for S. aureus isolation. Phenotypic and genotypic assessment of antimicrobial resistance was performed, in addition to detection of classical enterotoxin genes of S. aureus. Finally, evaluation of antimicrobial action of some lactobacillus strains against S. aureus.
Results:
Incidence rates of presumptive S. aureus in raw milk, kariesh cheese and yoghurt samples were 50%, 40% and 60%, respectively. Highest resistance of S. aureus was to Kanamycin (100%) and Nalidixic acid (89.3%), respectively. (78.66%) of S. aureus were MDR. (11.1%) of S. aureus carried mecA gene. In concern with enterotoxins genes, PCR showed that examined isolates harbored sea with a percentage of (22.2%), while sed was found in (11.1%) of isolates. Regarding biofilm production, (88.88%) of S. aureus were biofilm producers. Finally, agar well diffusion showed that L. acidophillus had the strongest antimicrobial action against S. aureus with inhibition zone diameter ranged from 18-22mm.
Conclusion
There is a widespread prevalence of MDR S. aureus in raw milk and dairy products. Production of staphylococcal enterotoxins, as well as biofilm production are responsible for public health risks. Therefore, installing proper hygienic routines and harsh food safety policies at food chain levels is substantial.

Published: February 2024

Background:
Coccidiosis is one of the most economically significant poultry diseases worldwide, caused by the pathogenic Eimeria species, and is characterized by decreased weight gain and failure to grow due to malabsorption, low feed conversion rate, bloody diarrhea, and dehydration.
Aim:
This study investigated the effectiveness of licorice root extract (LRE) in controlling cecal coccidiosis to determine whether its combination with maduramicin could help alleviate the pathological, biochemical, and histopathological effects of cecal coccidiosis in Sasso broiler chicks.
Methods:
A total of 125 one-day-old Sasso broiler chicks were categorized into five equal groups (n=25), each consisting of five replicates (n= 5 per replicate). (G1-LE) received a basal diet supplemented with LRE (3 g/kg); (G2-ME) received a basal diet containing maduramycin (0.5 g/kg); (G3-LME) received a basal diet containing LRE and maduramicin together with the same rates. G4-E (positive control) and G5-N (negative control) received no additives in their feed. Birds in groups (G1-4) were challenged on day 14 of the experiment orally intercropping a 1 ml suspension of Eimeria tenella sporulated oocysts.
Results:
Groups of birds fed on LRE and maduramicin separately or together appeared to be in good condition where no deaths or clinical abnormalities were observed, based on the analysis of clinicopathological examination. Compared with the G4-E positive control, the dropping scoring and oocyst shedding of groups G1-LE, G2-ME, and G3-LME along the 10th-day post-challenge (dpc), as well as macroscopic and microscopic lesions scoring at the 7th dpc, was considerably lower. The dual supplementation use of LRE and maduramicin in G3-LME's reduced the harmful effects of coccidian, which appeared only as a mononuclear cellular infiltration and a small number of oocysts invading the intestinal glands. Molecular docking revealed that LRE and maduramicin interacted with E. tenella DNA polymerase, E. tenella apical membrane antigen 1, and microneme protein binding sites resulting in reduced E. tenella replication and invasion.
Conclusion:
The inclusion of LRE and maduramicin, individually or in combination, in the diet might effectively mitigate the detrimental effects of coccidiosis.

Published: February 2024

This study deals with the modeling of two PI controllers to control first-order systems [cold water (CW) to tanklevel and hot water (HW) to temperature] using Ziegler–Nichols (ZN) and direct synthesis methods and to test bothcontrollers for set-point tracking and disturbance rejection modes for multiple input and multiple output (MIMO)water mixing tank. The ZN method is a technique used for tuning controllers, and it used both proportional andintegral actions in the present investigation. This method was performed by setting the integral (I) and derivative(D) gains to zero. It was applied to the open-loop reaction of the process to the change in the water level and thetemperature (the control variables) and the plotter on the computer recorded the response. The evaluated processvariables, such as K (for the proportional action) and ? (for the integral action), are plugged into the ZN equationwith the specific multiplier constants for the gains of a controller with PI actions. The ZN technique was utilized toobtain a PI controller for both the CW to tank level system and the HW to temperature system. The direct synthesis(DS) method was applied to a desired closed-loop transfer function. The design of the controller was based on aprocess model. This method was applied to set-point changes in the control system and later fixed to responsesto disturbances. The DS technique was implemented on the two systems, the CW to tank level and the HW totemperature. It was able to control the impact of the sensitive HW to temperature system. However, the controllerperformance across the CW to tank level system was extremely inefficient as oscillations were observed.

Published: February 2024

The concept of interaction, which has found more space in international relations with globalization, has also expanded the field of action of local governments. Sister city relations are among the international collaborations of local governments representing cities, regions and states. Managers of Washington-Hyogo, California-Osaka and Hawaii-Hiroshima sister cities in the USA and Japan and managers various regional non-governmental organizations made some recommendations at the end of the three-day conference process where lessons learned and best practices on planning, preparation and response to natural disasters were shared. Taking these recommendations into consideration, sister city relations were considered as a disaster management model in the context of local governments at national level. In the model, city pairings were made by taking into consideration factors such as fault line, population, cities not being close to each other, geographical location, etc. The main purpose of these pairings is to prevent managerial uncertainty and other weaknesses that may arise in the event of a possible disaster and to take action quickly. With the sister city disaster management model, it is thought that sharing the knowledge and experiences of sister cities regarding past disasters among themselves will provide significant contributions to the cities.

Genel kolluğun yetersiz kaldığı alanlarda tamamlayıcı mahiyette bir hizmet olarak kullanılması planlanan özel güvenlik müessesesi Türkiye’de yaklaşık 43 yıllık bir geçmişe sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, depremlere hazırlık ve deprem sonrasında özel güvenlik müessesesinin kullanılması hususu incelenmiştir. Nitel bir araştırma olarak tasarlanan ve amacı bakımından keşfedici bir araştırma olan bu çalışmada, mevzuat ve ilgili alan yazınına yönelik literatür taraması metodolojisi kullanılmıştır. Özel güvenlik görevlilerinin arama-kurtarma faaliyetleri, barınma alanlarında asayişi sağlama, yardım dağıtım noktalarında düzeni tesis etme, afetzedeleri tespit ve yönlendirme gibi özellikli alanlarda eğiterek göreve hazır hale getirilmesinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. İçişleri Bakanlığı bünyesindeki Afet ve Acil Durum Yönetimi Başkanlığı (AFAD), depremler başta olmak üzere tüm doğa kaynaklı afetlere hazırlıkta yetkili bir çatı kurumdur. Ancak AFAD’ın yetersiz kalabileceği büyüklükteki doğa kaynaklı afetlerde, belirlenen ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda özel güvenlik görevlilerinden bir yetenek havuzu oluşturulması ve depremlere hazırlık sürecinde eğitim alması, tatbikatlara katılması ve ulusal/uluslararası depremlerde kısmi görev almasının sağlanarak tecrübe kazanması önerilmektedir.

A Complex of Toys and Play Accessories from the Excavations of the Townspeople’s Yard in the Fortifi ed Town of Pskov
Authors:   Pskov State University, Salmina Elena , Salmin Sergey ,   Archaeological Centre of Pskov Oblast
Published: February 2024

The article discusses the experience of studying the archaeological objects of play accessories not only as a mere collection of finds, but in connection with topographic, historical and social features of the territory from which these finds occur. Besides the widespread types of toys (ceramic whistles, leather balls, clubs, wooden spinners etc.), the studied collection includes rarer toys (the barrel of a chiseled wooden miniature cannon), and original items of theatrical or carnival requisite. Thus, in the cultural deposits within the limited space of the city yard, we observe children’s play accessories and those that supposedly belonged to the adults.
A New Look at the Olbia Monetary Reform of the Second Half of the 4th century BC
Authors:   Izmail State University of Humanities, Nikolaev Mykola
Published: February 2024

The known fact of the resumption of the issue of full-weight coins (with Demeter) in 340—330 BC in Olbia was also accompanied by the issue of its fractions. It is the first series of minted copper (subgr. Iв (Ма), Iг (Мо), IIб (Ро)). The renewal of issue of full-weight copper and its fractions was a consequence of the failure of the decimal reform by the Aristocratids; the population did not accept the reduced “obol series” (gr. 2), apparently, due to insufficient silver coins. In 333 BC, the Aristocratids tried unsuccessfully to legitimize the new monetary system by means of Canob’s decree; the copper and silver of the decree (… τὸν χαλκὸν καὶ τὸ ἀργύριο[ν]…) are “obol series” (ΑΡΙΣ, ΘΕΥ, ΦΙΛΙ, ΜΟΣΧ, ΠΑ, etc.) and silver (ΑΡΙΣ, ΜΟΣΧ). Thus, the traditional hypothesis about the mention of the full-weight copper in Canob’s decree is refuted. Subsequent episodic emission of the “obol series” (gr. 1) in 330—317 BC probably had no effect on monetary circulation; the coins were used to mint the “borysthenes” of gr. 1 until 309 BC.
Элия — супруга Тейрана и царица Боспора

Our attention was drawn to the text on the pedestal of the trophy erected in memory of the victory won by King Teiranes. It mentions his wife Aelia. Our interest in this fact is by no means accidental. After all, the Bosporus sovereigns, as a rule, were in the shadow of their royal spouses. We assume that Aelia belonged to the noble Roxolani clan whose leaders received Roman citizenship from Hadrian and, accordingly, became Publii Aelii. There is every reason to believe that the alliance concluded by Teiranes with this group of nomads from the northwestern Black Sea region allowed him to win the victory immortalized in the studied inscription.

The paper presents the results of studying of the Thasian amphorae fabrics of the second quarter of the 5th — end of the 4th century BC, whose belonging to the island’s products was established on the basis of morphological features of vessels and, in some cases, due to the presence of stamps. A complex approach was used to study amphorae fragments, including the methods of integral (X-ray phase analysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) and local (electron microscopy) characterization of the structure and composition. The proven set of methods made it possible to obtain reliable data on the mineral (phase), basic and trace chemical composition of the samples, as well as to study the composition of the fabric base of the samples ceramic body, excluding the influence of mineral impurities and leaners. The analysis of the experimental results allowed to group the objects into separate groups in accordance with the features of the mineralogical and elemental composition. Based on the comparison of the characteristics of these groups with geological and archaeological information about the island of Thasos, the authors advance a hypothesis with a clarification of the origin of Thasos amphorae, namely, their manufacturing in workshops on the eastern and southern coasts of the island.
Catalog of Ceramic Stamps of Heraclea Pontica from the Collection of the East Crimean Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve (part I)
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kolesnikov Andrei
Published: February 2024

The collection of Heraclea ceramic stamps stored in Kerch in the funds of the East Crimean Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve (VKIKMZ) is the largest one in the world. It is an important source for the study of the Heraclean stamping in general and for solving many specific issues related to the dating of various archaeological layers and objects. The purpose of this publication is to present the source in a ready and convenient form for its use, eliminating the need to refer to the originals again in general. Due to the huge amount of material, it seemed appropriate to divide the Catalog into two parts. The first one is devoted to the analysis of the code (collection) of Heraclean stamps in the VKIKMZ, which includes 2809 items discovered up to 2015 inclusive and published by N.F. Fedoseev in 2016. Based on a thorough analysis of all Heraclean stamps of the Kerch collection, corrections of the mistakes made in the restoration of their legends are proposed. The editing is also confirmed by the revealed correspondences of the stamps both within the collection itself and by analogies from publications and from other museum’s holdings. The attached tables contain illustrations to verify the conclusions. In the second part of the work, it is planned to publish other several hundred Heraclean stamps received by the VKIKMZ after 2015.

This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of fertilizers N, P, K, and Si on the pH, N-total, Al-dd, N, P- uptake, and grown of black rice (Oryza sativa L. indica) in Ultisols from Jasinga. This research was conducted from October 2021 to January 2022 at the Experimental Land for Soil Chemistry and Plant Nutrition in Jatinangor, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java with an altitude of 752 meters above sea level. The experimental design was carried out using a Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of eight treatments and three replications, consisting of: control; 1 N, P, K without Silica; 1 N, P, K + ½ Silica; 1 N, P, K + 1 Silica; 1 N, P, K + 2 Silica; ¾ N, P, K + 1 Silica; ¾ N, P, K + 1½ Silica; ¾ N, P, K + 2 Silica; and without N, P, K + 2 Silica. The results showed that the combination of fertilizer doses of 1 N, P, K (Urea 300 kg/ha, SP-36 100 kg/ha, and KCl 100 kg/ha) with 1 Silica (2 mL/L) gave the best black rice yields in increasing plant height by 60.34 cm and number of tillers 34, plus those dose is the best dose in increasing soil pH by 5.63, but the fertilizer dose was not able to increase soil P-Availability and N-Total.
