Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on health science students' individual entrepreneurship perception
Authors: Saygılı Meltem , Kandemir Türe Aysun , Özkan Şirin
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Many societal changes threaten the sustainability of health systems. Entrepreneurs play a significant role in creating sustainable innovations necessary for development and structural change. This study aimed to evaluate how university students studying health sciences perceive individual entrepreneurship during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the impact of COVID-19-related hopelessness on their perception of entrepreneurship.
Methods: Six hundred eighty-one undergraduate students from the faculty of health sciences in Türkiye, participated in the study. The Individual Entrepreneurship Perception Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used to collect data.
Results: The results revealed that the students' perception of individual entrepreneurship was high, while their hopelessness levels were moderate. In addition, a moderate negative relationship was found between the students' hopelessness levels and their perception of individual entrepreneurship. The regression analysis showed that the students' hopelessness levels and sub-dimensions (hope, loss of motivation, and future expectation) accounted for 26.3% of the total variance in individual entrepreneurship perception. Increased hopelessness regarding the sub-dimensions of hope, loss of motivation, and expectations for the future decreased their individual entrepreneurship perceptions.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that individual entrepreneurship perception among health sciences students could be negatively impacted during extraordinary periods related to health crises like pandemics. Developing hope, motivation, and expectations for the future is crucial to enhancing individual entrepreneurship perception among health sciences students.

ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN INDIAN POLITICAL COMMUNICATION: A STUDY OF CORPUS LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL NARRATIVE ON TWITTER DURING KARNATAKA ASSEMBLY ELECTION 2023
Authors: Pandey Krishna , Joshi Rahul , Maithili Ganjoo
Published: September 2024

This study examines the political communication strategies applied during the Karnataka Assembly elections on May 23, 2023, with a specific focus on the Twitter (now X) as a platform. The Karnataka Assembly elections held notable importance for the then ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), as it aimed to consolidate its political influence in southern India in preparation for the upcoming 2024 general elections. The Indian National Congress, as the opposition party, perceived this as a favourable circumstance, as the voters appeared to be divided as a result of the presence of numerous influential local leaders who were not in sync with the ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This study utilises the Corpus linguistic methodology to examine the data obtained from the social media platform, Twitter, where political campaigning has become a significant strategy for achieving political mileage in India. This study conducts an analysis of the tweets shared by significant political actors throughout the campaign season for the Assembly elections, with a focus on examining the precise influence exerted by these tweets on the political discourse. The findings serve to reaffirm the resilience of the Indian democracy, as the electorate has demonstrated their capacity to differentiate and discern between matters of online debate and those that hold local significance. The study provides additional evidence to support the notion that the Twitter platform serves as a virtual space for political expression and the exchange of varied perspectives. However, it is important to note that these expressions and ideas may not necessarily translate into immediate influence on voting behaviour.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: American expert consensus publications recommend discontinuation of antiplatelet agents 6 to 12 months after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) who require chronic anticoagulation, and use of oral anticoagulant monotherapy thereafter. This study aimed to assess real-world long-term antithrombotic therapy management practices and factors associated with the continuation of antiplatelet agents past 12 months post-PCI in patients with AF requiring chronic anticoagulation. Methods: Patients with AF and a history of PCI greater than 12 months before their most recent encounter with physicians at an outpatient electrophysiology clinic were identified by chart review. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and current antithrombotic regimen were collected from encounters that occurred between July 2019 and June 2022. The independent predictive factors associated with the continuation of antiplatelet agents were identified using univariate and regression analyses. Results: Out of 66 patients, 67% continued antiplatelet therapy for greater than 12 months post-PCI. Patients on antiplatelets were significantly less likely to have bare metal stents (p = 0.006), be greater than five years post-PCI (p = 0.002), and have a HASBLED score of two or less (p = 0.028) when compared to patients on oral anticoagulant monotherapy. Bare metal stent history (p = 0.045) and HASBLED score of two or less (p = 0.016) were also significant in regression analysis. Conclusion: This study found that most patients with AF and a history of PCI continued antiplatelet therapy longer than 12 months post-PCI, often despite the high bleeding risk.

Published: September 2024

Aim: To compare the demographic and clinical profile of conventional retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity. Material and methods: A prospective, unmasked, and observational study involving 150 ROP patients was conducted over a period of one year. The risk factors including maternal and neonatal risk factors were recorded. The data was entered into the Excel sheet and analyzed to compare the risk factors between the conventional ROP and APROP. Results: A total of 17 (11.3%) babies were found to have AP-ROP and 133 (88.7%) babies were found to have conventional ROP. There was no significant difference in average gestational age between infants diagnosed with AP-ROP (29.6 ± 2.9 weeks) and those with Conventional ROP (30.1 ± 2.2 weeks) (p = 0.428). However, infants with AP-ROP had a significantly lower average birth weight (1022.7 ± 123.5 g) compared to infants with Conventional ROP (1208.2 ± 261.0 g) (p  = 0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that birth weight, surfactant use, number of days of oxygen supplementation, and metabolic acidosis were independently associated with the development of AP-ROP. Conclusion: The development of APROP is multifactorial and complex. Although we have identified factors such as birth weight, surfactant use, number of days of oxygen supplementation, and metabolic acidosis in the causation of APROP, further long-term multicentric studies are required for validation.

Mental illness is an international health crisis that puts the lives of over three hundred million people (Four percent of the world’s population) at risk. The study was conducted at the Erigavo Mental Hospital in Somaliland and its main focus was the bond between substance abuse and mental illness. The research was to check the influence of the different drugs, screen mental health problems, and draw a link between drugs and mental illness. The sources of the quantitative data were a total of 27 employees and managers. This study is cross-sectional. We employed the measure of the magnitude and direction of a linear relationship between two variables with the Pearson correlation coefficient. The outcomes that were acquired show that there was use and particularly abuse of khat, substance smoking, and alcohol consumption, the score means of which were quite high. The investigation results, however, imply that through drug use and other forms of alcohol drug abuse, one of them counter various mental health problems. Furthermore, the addicted people demonstrated the tendency to use force in their attempt to solve the conflicts and to experience the highest degree of tension, with the mean score of the former giving 4.11 while the standard deviation of the latter giving 1.086, thus this shows the mental impact of drug use on the inhabitants of Erigavo. The main result of the study was the strong, positive relationship between drug addiction and mental illness, which became evident through an r - value of 0.509 and a p - value of 0.559. It means that those people who are involved in drug misuse are the ones who are likely to have mental health disorders. Based on the findings of the study, we suggest a combination of measures to recover drug addiction and mental illness. This consists in strengthening prevention. The study that lays the groundwork for suggestions, involves an approach that is holistic in nature. The main ideas of preventing drug usage, psychological health care, enhancing mental health services, and working towards certified professionals are key integrated activities of the whole concept. The hospital, thus, will be in a better position to eliminate the two major disease components namely; drug abuse and mental ailment. Thus, in this way, with the help of the new treatment approaches, a hospital provides and their patients who are quite likely to recover and lead healthy.
Your Turn as an Example of Multi-Modal, Ethnographic and Collective Documentary
Authors: Yılmaz Erdinç
Published: September 2024

Documentary cinema is a film genre that aims to reproduce authentic reality and provide awareness to the audience by addressing real events, people or subjects with a claim of objectivity. Such films generally use a narrative language that is not based on fiction and reflect reality as it is. There are several standpoints a documentary film-maker may follow and adopt. These standpoints usually determine the formal characteristics of the film. A documentary may be ethnographic, journalistic, poetic, etc. Likewise, a documentary film-maker may seek to approach reality without any self-involvement and he/she may choose to observe rather than participate in the content or vice versa. Utilizing a number of methods, documentary cinema has flourished in both content and form in recent years. New ways of making documentaries are flourishing and minor realities as well as major ones are brought to the audience. One approach is the ethnographic documentary, where the filmmaker adopts a participant-observer role, immersing themselves in the socio-cultural phenomenon to authentically convey a particular truth. Taking ethnography as a starting point, a film-maker makes numerous stylistic choices and enrich his/her narrative following different patterns. This study aims to interrogate the prospects of documentary cinema in recent years and define the relationship between the film-maker’s standpoint and the stylistic choices he/she makes, using the film Your Turn (Capai, 2019) as a case study. The sample film was chosen via purposive sampling method and a textual analysis was conducted. The results of the analysis shows that Your Turn (Capai, 2019) utilizes ethnography and turn the participant-observation method into a collective practice which contributes to the overall aesthetics of the film as well as its narrative foundation.
A model for predicting noise source-receiver distance based on an object detection function
Authors: Kang Dongshik  , Iha Moritaka  , Thu Lan Nguyen
Published: September 2024

An accurate aircraft noise prediction model is necessary to predict the damage caused by expanded and new-constructed airport projects. Some widely-used models are constructed based on noise-power-distance (NPD) data appointed for each aircraft model. However, the lack of NPD data for some types of military aircraft makes it challenging to predict noise around airports that serve both civil and military purposes. Since NPD data were obtained based on manual measurement and often spends required much of human labor and dedicated measuring equipment, therefore, it is desirable to have an automatic system for this effort. This study proposes a model that estimates the distance from the recording point to the airplane, or noise source-receiver distance, based on the video that captures the flight movements around the airport and then provides reliable NPD data of a specific aircraft. In this study, the time-series data of the flight movement were separated into sound and image components. Then, the time-series images were analyzed and input to M2det for object detection. Finally, the noise source-receiver distance was estimated based on the length of the airplane in the image identified by the object detection function.
Reinforcement learning in autonomous defense systems: Strategic applications and challenges
Authors: Oben Yapar
Published: September 2024

Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the most progressive ways to improve the efficiency of drones and robotic systems in the context of the defense and security industries. In Anomaly Detection (AD) systems, this paper discusses the potential of RL as a Model Selection Criteria (MSC) method and its associated issues. RL algorithms enable such systems to adapt to and learn from interactions with their environment, optimizing their response to complex and dynamic threats. This way, new states may be introduced with better decision-making processes, improving the effectiveness of the operations and enabling Reinforcement learning -powered systems to learn new scenarios as well as perform detailed defensive actions in a real-time context. The importance of RL in national defense can therefore be said to lie in its capacities for changing how threats are identified, how threats are responded to, and even what strategies of defense are thought of. Self-governing systems that incorporate Reinforcement learning are capable of functioning in an unpredictable environment, evaluating threats correctly, and carrying out defensive measures with the help of people practically at all. This versatility is critical in modern warfare because a preferred option is the right response to threats that were unknown a few years ago. However, incorporating RL into autonomous defense systems is not without big challenges. Some important problem areas are improved stability and accuracy of RL algorithms in various and critical situations, the legal and practical consequences of autonomous decision-making and possible threats that can arise due to adversarial manipulation of learning algorithms. In addition, such systems have to be developed and put into practice under national and international standards to meet certain requirements and build confidence in such applications. This paper explores these strategic uses and issues and presents a detailed overview of how RL can improve independent defense functionalities, as well as the significant problems relating to this approach. Thus, by providing case studies and theoretical analysis, it aims to demonstrate that RL has the potential to define the technological development of defense and benefit national security systems in the context of a growing threat.

The aim was to determine the soil CO2 emissions from fallow lands of different ages, taking into account the natural and climatic zones of the south of Western Siberia. The research was carried out in three natural and climatic zones of the Omsk region: steppe, forest-steppe, subtaiga; in each zone, three sites with different age fallow lands were identified: 5-10, 10-20 and older than 20 years. The soil CO2 emission was measured using exposure chambers with determination on a gas chromatograph. When comparing the intensity of CO2 emissions from fallow lands, depending on the natural and climatic zone, it can be noted that in the warm season the maximum level was in the subtaiga zone (on average for May-September 54.1 g of CO2 ∙ m-2 ∙ day-1), followed by the magnitude of flows in the forest-steppe zone (29.4), the minimum It was observed in the steppe zone (25.0). At the same time, the maximum value of the flows was observed in the subtaiga zone in July, in the forest–steppe and steppe zone in June. Younger deposits are characterized by a large amount of soil carbon dioxide emissions compared with older ones: in the subtaiga zone, the average seasonal emission of deposits 5-10 years old is 1.30 times higher than deposits older than 20 years, in the forest–steppe zone, respectively, 1.51, steppe – 1.63 times. The daily dynamics of soil CO2 fluxes has an increased level in the morning and afternoon hours, decreased in the evening and night hours, regardless of the zone.

The past decade has seen an increased interest in the cerebellum, particularly in non-motor behaviors. This has also included a growing interest in the cerebellum in aging, and age-related neurodegenerative disease. Emerging work across model systems and in humans has also implicated the cerebellum in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While the cerebellum is not seen as being central to the etiology of the disease, it is however recognized as being increasingly important, and most certainly not immune from disease-related pathology and atrophy. In cognitively normal older adults (OA), the cerebellum has been conceptualized as being critical scaffolding for cortical function. This scaffolding may extend to AD and MCI, wherein individual differences in cerebellar function and atrophy may relate to cognitive decline. With respect to functional imaging, there are differences in cerebellar activation in OA relative to young adults particularly during cognitive tasks. This supports the idea of functional scaffolding from the cerebellum. However, this is largely unexplored in AD and MCI, as this is a nascent literature. While there are very few studies focused on the cerebellum in AD and MCI at this stage, meta-analysis provides a powerful tool for expanding our knowledge of the cerebellum in neurodegenerative disease, and, in turn, for hypothesis generation. We took advantage of activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis to investigate overlap in functional activation present in the existing literature. Our analysis included a total of 29 studies, representing data from 236 individuals with AD, 159 with MCI, and 382 OA. Across these studies, there is no significant overlap in cerebellar activation in AD, though this is present in MCI. Analyses of group differences also suggest that across studies, there are patterns indicative of both greater and reduced activation in AD/MCI relative to OA. Across all findings, overlap was primarily centered on Crus I and Lobule VI, the former of which has been implicated in AD. Together, these findings suggest that cerebellar function is negatively impacted in AD, and cerebellar resources may not be optimally recruited, which in turn may impact behavior and symptomatology.

Any disease is an attribute of life. However, modern medicine presents the nature of diseases based on the natural philosophical paradigm. Any disease is an attribute of life. However, modern medicine presents the nature of diseases based on the natural philosophical paradigm. The purpose of this work is to introduce specialists to phylogenetic memory. It is a quantum-dimensional repository of fundamental biological phenomena in every living organism, including disease programs and immune memory. The task of this work is to draw the attention of specialists to the possibility of managing these resources. The development of this direction can dramatically increase efficiency and reduce the cost of treatment and preventive technologies, as well as stop the iatrogenic pandemic.
A new framework for climate risks integration into Burkina Faso national decentralization policy
Authors: Badolo Mathieu
Published: September 2024

In Sub-Saharan Africa, an efficient policy option to consolidate and accelerate territorial resilience to disaster risks and climate change is climate change integration into national decentralization policies. Such an option, if it is integrated, inclusive and participatory, would be a relevant and efficient response to territorial disparities in terms of climate risks vulnerability reduction capacities. In practice, it would consist of various decentralization facilities for territorial resilience configurations which limit social and economic regression risks.This article proposes the Badolo BurkinaClimDecentralization framework for climate risks integration into Burkina Faso national decentralization policy. It includes methodologies, information bodies and decision support tools to specify facilities classes to be integrated into decentralization to build territorial resilience to climate change. Climate change impact classes of very high, high, moderate, low and minor intensity are typical aspects of the proposed framework.Fundamentally, the Badolo BurkinaClimDecentralization framework is a new scientific tool to achieve political configurations of decentralization in Burkina Faso which provide facilities for building resilience to changes in this country different regions.
Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty
Authors: Arnold Hans Werner
Published: September 2024

Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty may defy our intuition as we see no obvious reason why we can not exactly measure the momentary position and speed of an object like a racing car. If any difficulty exists to determine both exactly, we may attribute this difficulty to our own inability to measure both exactly. An example may be the Hubble Constant H0, which relates the recession speed v of cosmic objects, such as galaxies, to their distance x from us by Hubble's Law v=H0*x. In this case, the speed of v can be easily determined fairly exactly, but not of x. Heisenberg's Principle states that such inability is a fundamental law of Physics, not of our own inability to measure.Although this law may not very well concur with our intuition, it is possible to illustrate and even simulate it with a simple geometrical model. This paper presents such a model and explains its geometrical, dynamic and mathematical properties as those stated by Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty. It also shows that its physical reality is observable in some every day processes.It is the sole purpose of this model to illustrate Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty. It should enhance the understanding of this principle.

Published: September 2024

The increasing prevalence of ransomware attacks poses a significant challenge to cybersecurity, necessitating the development of sophisticated detection methods that are both accurate and interpretable. Incorporating binary code feature selection into Explainable AI (XAI) models presents a novel approach that enhances the models' ability to identify critical features, thereby improving classification performance and transparency. This article provides a comparative analysis of XAI models with and without the integration of binary code feature selection, demonstrating substantial improvements in accuracy, interpretability, and computational efficiency when the feature selection technique is applied. The findings indicate that the refined feature sets not only lead to more accurate predictions but also contribute to a clearer understanding of the decision-making process, which is crucial for the trustworthiness and applicability of the models in real-world scenarios. The study's results highlight the potential of feature selection to advance ransomware detection systems, contributing to the development of more reliable and effective cybersecurity solutions.
Employing 0-1 test for chaos to characterize the chaotic dynamics of a generalized Gauss iterated map
Authors: Tosin Michel , Issa Marcos Vinicius , Matos Diego , Do Nascimento Alexandre , Cunha Jr Americo
Published: September 2024

This work deals with the numerical analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of a Gauss iterated map in a generalized form, obtained with the inclusion of two extra parameters, which makes the map dynamic behavior quite different from the original system. For the exploration of such dynamics, the 0-1 test for chaos is employed to identify intervals of parameters associated with chaotic and regular behavior. The validity of the chaoticity-regularity classification obtained with 0-1 test is confirmed by comparison with bifurcation diagrams. Contour maps reveal regions where chaotic behavior could be observed when two parameters are considered for the analysis.

The nonlinear dynamics of a bistable energy harvesting system with colored noise disturbances
Authors: Lopes Vinicius , Peterson João , Cunha Jr Americo
Published: September 2024

This paper deals with the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a piezo-electric energy harvesting system subjected to a harmonic external excitation disturbed by a Gaussian colored noise. A parametric analysis is conducted, where the effects of the standard deviation and the correlation time of colored noise on the system response are investigated. The numerical results suggests a strong influence of noise on the system response for higher values of correlation time and standard deviation, and a low (noise level independent) influence for low values of correlation time.
