Application of geoinformation systems in sounding the ecological and economic network of the urban environment in the northern territories
Authors: Mamaeva N. L. , Petrov S. A.
Published: March 2023

Global climate change and its impact on the environment is one of the main problems of the 21st century. In the Arctic zone, where considerable oil and gas reserves are located, warming is 2-3 times faster than the world average. Against the backdrop of increased Arctic warming, thermal pollution has created permanent urban heat islands, where urban temperatures are  1-2 degrees Celsius higher than in surrounding areas. The aim of the article was a geoinformation assessment of climatic and anthropogenic characteristics in various zones of Tyumen (recreational zones (parks and reservoirs) and the zone of urban highways) in the summer of 2021. The Earth program was used in the studies, statistical processing of the results was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21 software.  It has been found that a circadian diurnal rhythm is observed both in recreational areas (parks and reservoirs) and in the area of urban highways (wind speed, temperature and relative humidity, concentration of CO, CO2, SO2, NO2) in the summer of 2021. The revealed correlation relationships between climatic characteristics and anthropogenic pollutants and aerosols indicate that global climate change is associated with the deterioration of the ecological situation in the urban environment and doesn't depend on the landscape features of the city.

Putative mediators of enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy for adolescents with anorexia nervosa
Authors: Dalle Grave Riccardo , Calugi Simona
Published: March 2023

The effectiveness of enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E) for adolescents with anorexia has been supported by several cohort studies and a non-randomized effectiveness trial comparing this treatment with family-based treatment (FBT). However, although many patients achieve a good outcome, a significant proportion still has residual psychopathology at the end of the CBT-E. These indicate the need to further work on making CBT-E for adolescents more potent. Identifying treatment mediators of CBT-E (i.e., the mechanisms through which the treatment achieves its effect) is a potential strategy that might help improve its effectiveness. Some mediators of change hypothesized for the adult version of CBT-E (i.e., the regular eating procedure and reducing body checking) should also operate in the adolescent version of the treatment. However, there are at least three additional specific procedures used in CBT-E for adolescents that might be key treatment mediators in this population: (1) the procedure of engaging the patient in the treatment and the decision to change; (2) the procedure of weight regain; and (3) the procedure of involving parents as “helpers” (not “controllers”). An opportunity, which might help to identify these potential treatment mediators, is to compare FBT and CBT-E in a randomized controlled trial. Indeed, comparing these two treatments, which seem equally effective but operate via different mechanisms, may be used to ensure that change in the putative mediator is not a consequence of the change in the outcome variable.
ERKEN CUMHURİYET’TEN GÜNÜMÜZE TÜRKİYE’DE SINIRLARIN SOSYO-POLİTİK, EKONOMİK VE TARİHSEL DİNAMİKLERİ
Authors: Özbey Kerem
Published: March 2023

Bu çalışma, erken Cumhuriyet döneminden günümüze Türkiye’de sınırların sosyo-politik, ekonomik ve tarihsel dinamiklerini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Her tarihsel dönemin nasıl bir sınır anlayışını ortaya koyduğu, dönemin öne çıkan gelişmelerinin sınırlara nasıl yansıdığı ve sınırların ulusal, bölgesel ve küresel ölçekte hangi anlamlara sahip olduğu bu çalışmanın temel sorunsalını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çerçevede, Türkiye’de sınırların erken Cumhuriyet döneminde ulus-devletin inşasını gerçekleştirmeye dönük işlevselleştirildiği, Batıcı, Türkçü, sekülerist ve anti-emperyalist sınır anlayışının bu dönemde ortaya çıktığı gözlenmiştir. 1950’li yıllarla birlikte Türkiye’nin Batı’yla bütünleşmesi sınırları içe dönük bir yapıdan dışa açık hale getirmiş ve katı sınırlar yerini esnek sınırlara bırakmıştır. 1960-1980 yılları arası dönemde Türkiye’de sınırların sosyalist blok karşısında kapitalist bloğun sınırlarına dönüştüğü ve anti-komünizmle mücadelenin temel araçlarından biri olarak savunmacı-korumacı özellikleriyle öne çıktığı gözlenmiştir. 1980’li yıllar Türkiye’de sınırların ulusalcı görünümden liberal bir çizgiye kaydığı ve serbest piyasa kapitalizminin sınırları edilgen hale getirdiği yıllar olmuştur. 1990’lı yıllar Türkiye’de terör ve etnikçiliğe karşı güvenlikçi-militarist sınırların inşa edildiği bir dönem olmuştur. 21. yüzyılın başları küreselleşmeye eklemlenme bağlamında sınırların etkisini yitirdiği ve sınırsız dünya söylemlerinin öne çıktığı bir dönem olmuştur. Küreselleşmenin sorgulandığı günümüz ise, ulus-devletlerin, milliyetçiliğin ve sınırların yükselişte olduğu, küresel hegemonya yapılarının dönüştürüldüğü, Türkiye’nin alternatif bir güç olarak konumlandığı ve sınırların da bu gücü sembolize ettiği bir dönem olmuştur.

Published: March 2023

Tanımı ve rolleri farklı kültürlere göre değişebilen bir kavram olan annelik, teknolojik gelişmelerin ortaya çıkardığı yeni medya araçları ile internet ortamına taşınmış, sosyal medyada kendisine yer edinen anne hesapları ile geleneksel annelikten farklı, “sosyal medya anneliği” olarak ifade edilebilecek bir annelik anlayışı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışma, sosyal medya annelerinin sunduğu annelik tarzının ahlaki değer sahibi çocuk yetiştirmeye etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yaklaşımı benimsenmiş literatür taramasının ardından veriler eleştirel irdelemeye tabi tutularak betimlenmiştir. Sosyal medya anneliğini konu alan çalışmaların taranması ile elde edilen veriler çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda yorumlanmıştır. Makalede öncelikle, konunun kavramsal çerçevesi çizilmiş, ardından sosyal medya anneliği, ahlaki değerler açısından incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak sosyal medya anneliğinin sunumunda ahlaki değerler ile çatışan pek çok alan olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gösteriş, yanlış yönlendirme, mahremiyet ihlali, empati yoksunluğu içeren annelik sunumunun annenin psikolojisini ve anne-çocuk iletişimini sekteye uğrattığı kanaatine varılmış ve bu tarz annelikte görülen değer aşındırıcı mesajların, değerleri benimsemiş çocuk yetiştirmeye etkisinin olumsuz olacağı değerlendirilmiştir.

Background and Purpose: Rumination is one of the most significant symptoms of several mental illnesses. Rumination is classified into two brooding and reflection categories. Notwithstanding the prevalence of rumination, the discrimination between its subtypes among various clinical populations has been overlooked. Materials and Methods: In this comparative study, our sample size included 95 patients who were interviewed at a specialized health clinic in Sari City, Iran. For diagnosis, we applied structured clinical interviews, the Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale, and the second version of the Beck depression inventory (BDI). To test our hypothesis, we used the ruminative response scale (RRS) which enabled us to divide ruminations into brooding and reflection. In the first step, the descriptive statistics of the research, including mean, standard deviation, and standard error of the mean were determined. An independent samples t test was conducted to determine whether people with major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) significantly differed in rumination subtypes. Results: Out of 95 participants, who entered the study, 50 people suffered from MDD, and 45 participants were diagnosed with OCD. For people with MDD, the mean±SD of the age of the participants was 31.62±6.94 years, while the age of the people with OCD was 32.11±6.37. Our independent samples t test analysis determined a significant difference in brooding between the groups (P<0.05). Nonetheless, the two groups did not show any difference in reflection. Conclusion: Considering the higher mean for brooding scores in people with MDD, it is concluded that this population is more likely to adopt this type of passive and maladaptive rumination as a regulatory strategy, which in turn prone depressed people to lower mood.

Background and Purpose: Current evidence shows that physical fitness (PF) is declining among children and adolescents in Africa and worldwide, and this trend is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the baseline PF data of primary school children in Lagos State, Nigeria, and to determine the predictors of low PF within the cohort. Materials and Methods: A total of 733 primary school children aged 6-12 years in Lagos, Nigeria, were included in this cross-sectional quantitative study. PF measures were assessed using the Eurofit battery test including sit and reach (S&R), standing long jump (SLJ), sit-ups (SU), 5 m shuttle run test (5 m-SRT), and cricket ball throw (CBT). A structured questionnaire was used to determine the socio-demographic factors. Anthropometric and cardiovascular measurements were performed using standardized protocols. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequencies, percentages, median, and quartiles, and inferential statistics of the Mann- Whitney U test, Quade analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) correlation matrix, and multiple linear regression model. Results: Boys showed significantly higher SU counts (P<0.001), higher CBT (P<0.001), lower 5 m SRT (P=0.003), and the same SLJ (P=0.008) than girls, while S&R scores were statistically comparable (P=0.135). Also, the results showed that sex (B=-0.647, P=0.015), height (B=0.831, P=0.0001), weight (B=-0.641, P=0.007), and hip circumference (HC) (B=0.955, P=0.009) were significantly associated with total PF (measured using S&R, SLJ, SU,5 m SRT, and CBT). Conclusion: Increased weight and gender were the main predictors of low PF among primary school children in Lagos, Nigeria.

Background: Cancer stem cells are a subpopulation of tumor cells with self-renewal capacity that promote tumorigenesis, resistance to chemotherapy, and metastasis. Sox2, Oct4, and Nanog are three pluripotent transcription factors expressed in embryonic stem cells and cancer stem cells. Materials and Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the expression of Sox2, Nanog, and Oct4, and analyze their clinical significance in human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Expression of Sox2, Nanog, and Oct4 was assayed in cancer tissues and their corresponding paracancerous tissues from 30 patients with NSCLC. RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of these genes. The correlation between the expression of these three genes and clinical parameters including disease stage, smoking, lymph node, and cancer subgroups (adenocarcinoma and squamous) were analyzed. Results: All three genes were expressed simultaneously in 76.6% of tumor samples. A significant correlation was observed between the expression of Sox2, Nanog, and Oct4 in the cancer tissues in comparison to the paracancerous tissues (P<0.000). Expression of Sox2 and Oct4 gene had a positive correlation with the stage of cancer (Sox2 P=0.01, Oct4 P=0.0007), while the expression profile of Nanog showed a significant positive correlation with sex (P=0.0063), smoking (P=0.0253), tumor stages (P=0.0003), and tumor type (P=0.0085). Conclusion: Evaluating the expression of Sox2, Nanog, and Oct4 genes in NSCLC might have some implications for diagnosis and prognosis; they might be also promising treatment targets. The correlations between prognosis and pathological features and Nanog overexpression in NSCLC suggest Nanog is a potential indicator of the early stage of NSCLC.

Wireless networks are an ideal research direction in the areas of sensors and pervasive computing. Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks are a new platform in the fields of remote sensing, data collection, analysis, problem solving, and various research studies. They contain nodes that act as transmitters and receivers, and are vulnerable to various attacks and incur various types of loss. Resource exhaustion attacks, once considered just a routing problem, now fall into a new group called "vampire attacks." A resource exhaustion or vampire attack drains a node's batteries, rendering them useless. Vampire attacks are not specific protocols and are hard to spot. This paper examines the identification and protection of resource exhaustion attacks at the routing protocol layer using the PLGP protocols (Parno, Luk, Gaustad, and Perrig). This white paper focuses primarily on detecting and preventing vampire attacks.
The proposed method is used to prevent network node exhaustion. This greatly reduces the problem of vampire attacks.

Frequent moves have a considerable impact on military children. It erects the social, educational, and emotional development of these children. Sometimes officers and kids are living in Dhaka. The lack of accommodation facilities in the posted area and the regular posting of military personnel are interesting for the children. It enforces staying with 'Single Parent' in the home town, villages, and some cases in the capital city, Dhaka. Few steps were taken to address it in the recent past by escalating. Facilities like increasing out leaving in various garrisons, increasing the accommodation facilities, and establishing new educational institutions are now mandatory. It is so that the Army children can stay with their parents. However, these amenities could not fulfill the requirements of all army personnel. Social support through parental care may not always be possible, but organizational support can augment child care and needs. When the individual ignores, the organization or nation can act as caregivers. Therefore, the research should determine the current system's cognitive outcome to prepare the future generation.

Poplar is the one of the domesticated forest trees in India and has better synergy with agriculture system than forestry operations. Populus deltoides have shown great promise in north-western part of India. Many a times, single clone of poplars have been propagated extensively. Ninety per cent of the total planted poplar comprises of clones G-48, WSL-22, WSL-39, Udai, WSL-32, Wimco81 and S7C15 in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. High incidence of Alternaria leaf spot was noticed on different commercial clones of P. deltoides (G-48, Udai, WSL-22 and WSL-39) during surveys in poplar nurseries (2009-11). The most common method of managing plant diseases is use of fungicides. In vitro efficacy of two fungicides, namely, propiconazole (systemic) and chlorothalonil (non-systemic) was tested against Alternaria alternata isolates using poisoned food technique. It was observed that propiconazole was more effective in suppressing the growth of the fungus than chlorothalonil as cent per cent inhibition was achieved for all the isolates at 40ppm. On the other hand, cent per cent inhibition of growth was achieved for only four isolates, no. A15, A24, A41 and A47 at highest concentration of 400ppm of chlorothalonil. The study indicated that propiconazole proved to be effective at a very low concentration of 40ppm against A. alternata under in vitro conditions.

Electricity is one of the most significant gifts that science has bestowed upon humanity. It has also become an integral part of modern life such that it is difficult to imagine a world without it. Electricity has numerous applications in our daily lives. Energy is usually produced by non-renewable sources such as petrol, Kerosene and nuclear which unfortunately create pollution. These methods are inconvenient in many ways. Burning of non renewable sources are hazardous to environment as it produces harmful gases. The batteries which are used to produce electricity is also manufactured using harmful substaces. Using high pressure steam and batteries are expensive and hard to maintain. The intention of this project is to producing energy without creating pollution and use it to power light bulbs, cell phones, laptops, and other small appliances. This project is great help to develop our engineering skills while learning about a clean way of generating electricity and satisfying our basic requirement. We are going to use the hard drive,magnet and inductive coil to generate electricity due to which our mobile phone will be charge and followed by ac to dc converter. This is totally clean way of generating energy. As fuel is not a renewable energy source and the prices are increasing day by day. It will not be affordable by a common man after some period. Here no fuel is required to generate electricity, so everybody can afford this method for power generation also it eliminates the emission of CO2 which will reduces the pollution. Conventional methods for generating electricity make use of dynamo and wind turbine, but they have disadvantage that they produce friction and reduces speed which require more efforts For the project to work we need strong electromagnets so we have used Neodymium magnets and also used.

Published: March 2023

The grass is mowed uniformly using a solar-powered grass cutter. Future power usage will be substantial. With it, lawns at parks, colleges, schools, and other locations are maintained and taken care of. The highly fine and uniform surface appearance of the lawn is easily operated and maintained by untrained individuals. Modern grass-cutting equipment is becoming increasingly widespread. Our daily lives show us how man-made pollution works. Older lawn cutter models had IC engines, which were bad for the environment and increased pollutants. An IC engine-driven cutter is more expensive. Such commonplace machinery needs considerable upkeep. We plan to develop a new type of solar-powered lawn cutter that is more affordable than the one now in use to get past these problems. Solar energy is the term used to describe the heat and light radiations that we receive from the sun. It is among the most widely used and diverse non-conventional renewable energy sources available on a global scale. It is devoid of contaminants, enters the market right away, and has no value. The use of equipment like star panels, which are constructed of electrical phenomenon cells, to produce electricity and power from solar energy. This year, solar system has drawn more attention because of its advantages over other renewable energy sources. The demand for and requests for green energy technology derived from renewable energy sources are increasing. The Solar Grass Cutter is a mechanical device that cuts grass with the usage of electricity. Its body is first constructed from PVC pipe, square shape plywood and caster wheels are then positioned under the body of the square plywood. Then, an inclined fibre plate is set on a body with a solar panel attached to it. That transmits solar energy, which is changed into electrical energy, which is changed into mechanical energy at the end of electric motor shaft, which contain the blade setup to cut the grass.

Published: March 2023

An interesting series of cobalt(II) complexes of the new ligands: The antipyrinethiosemicarbazones 4[N-(benzalidene) amino]antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (BAAPTS), 4[N-(2-hydroxy-benzalidene)amino]antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (2b), and 4[N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalidene)amino]antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (2c) The complexes were discovered to have the typical stoichiometry [CoX2(H2O)(L)] and [Co(L)2](ClO4)2, where X = Cl, NO3, NCS, or CH3COO, and L =2a, 2b, or 2c. Elemental analyses, molar conductivity measurements, molecular weight estimations, magnetic moments at room temperature, infrared, and electronic spectra were used to describe the complexes. The behaviour of each and every thiosemicarbazone is that of neutral tridentate (N, N, S) donor ligands. The perchlorate complexes are 1:2 electrolytes, but the chloro, nitrato, thiocyanato, and acetate complexes are essentially non-electrolytes, according to the conductivity measurements in PhNO2 solution. Studies on thermodynamic behavior were conducted for a few typical complexes, and a decomposition process was suggested. The cobalt(II) complexes of the ligands and their antibacterial and antifungal activities have also been studied, and it has been found that the complexes are more effective bactericides than the ligands.

As data to support this discussion, we have visited some online literature sources on reports or publications of academic pepper books and works, especially the discussion of financial literacy in each country and why it is essential to study. After obtaining several related literatures, we examined it under a phenomenological study approach, which is an approach that tries to understand a problem from several available pieces of information and data. Among other things, we code, evaluate in-depth data, synchronize data, and occasionally perform interpretations. In order to find some relevant and valid information to answer the research questions and hypotheses,this study prioritizes publication or secondary data from various journals and media at home and abroad. After gaining an in-depth understanding and discussion, comparing financial literacy in several countries has shown several things that distinguish countries with a financial teaching background from ordinary countries. In other words, financial literacy determines the welfare of a nation. This study will likely become a meaningful input in the development of follow up studies.

Published: March 2023

Printed documents are very frequently encountered in forensic cases as disputed or questioned documents. With increasing number of such cases, the printer inspection in has become a major requirement in questioned document examination in recent years considering the extensive use printers in document creation in comparison to handwritten papers. Also, the counterfeiting of printed documents by various printers have been recorded at a large scale in last two decades. In such cases, it is very much required by the investigators to examine and identify the type of printer used and to establish a linkage of the questioned document with the alleged printer. The current study is focused on the examination, analysis and identification of various types of printed documents on the basis of their specific characteristics including resolution, edge contrast, letter roughness and feathering formed from diverse printers to differentiate and classify them for forensic questioned document examination and to assist the forensic expert and questioned document examiner thorough such investigations. In this study 64 types of printers i.e. 32 inkjet printers and 32 printers comprise 1024 printed documents were collected for the analysis. The samples were analyzed using Olympus stereo microscopes SZX16 (4x magnification). Each printer has its uniqueness in printing documents, and this study aims to figure out that particular uniqueness at the documents after printing from the alleged printer. The observations revealed substantial differences in the letter’s characteristics. This study may be a useful to discriminate the documents printed from different types of printers.

Access to and satisfaction with healthcare services impacts overall quality of life. This paper presents data on sexual identity, gender identity, HIV status, disability status and access points for services as determinants for ease of access to and satisfaction with HIV prevention and ancillary care services in Nigeria. This cross-sectional study collected data between February 7th and 19th 2021 using an online platform. Study participants were 13-years+ and were recruited from nine states. Data were collected on ease of access to HIV prevention ancillary care, and satisfaction with HIV prevention services and ancillary care. Four multivariate regression analyses were conducted to determine associations between the dependent and independent variables after adjusting for confounders. Of 1995 participants, 1600 (80.2%) reported easy access to HIV prevention services and 1468 (73.6%) experienced easy access to ancillary care services. In addition, 1672 (83.8%) reported feeling satisfied with the HIV prevention services they had received and 1561 (78.2%) were satisfied with ancillary care services. People living with disability had significantly lower odds of accessing HIV prevention services with ease (AOR:0.56). Participants who utilized private healthcare facilities were more likely to report easy access to HIV prevention (AOR:1.58) and ancillary (AOR:1.37) care services, as well as satisfaction with HIV prevention (AOR:1.37) and ancillary (AOR:1.38) care. This study provides evidence that improved access to and satisfaction with HIV prevention and ancillary care services provided by private health institutions in Nigeria may reflect the environmental constraints associated with poor healthcare systems governance.

Plasmons in Non-Diagram X-ray Spectra of Scandium and Titanium Compounds
Authors: Vipin Sharma  , Lalit K. Dwivedi
Published: March 2023

In recent years the whole area of high-energy excitations in solids has flourished well, both experimentally and theoretically. Their spectroscopy and theoretical understanding have important implications for the knowledge of the structure and properties of materials, both in the bulk and near the surface. The theory used in the present work relates to the origin of Non-diagram X-ray spectra in various excitation processes where a deep, as well as the surface electron, is excited. By extending the Bohm-Pines Hamiltonian and utilizing many-body theory, the specific contributions of intrinsic as well as extrinsic "Plasmon-coupling" processes have been obtained theoretically in terms of "Non-diagram parent diagram X-ray line yield ratios" for the high energy plasmon satellite profiles in the X-ray line spectra of 2P main line in compounds of Scandium and Titanium. It has been shown that the high energy X-ray satellite line shapes of Scandium and Titanium compounds observed by de Boer et al. are due to the Plasmon Oscillations. The theoretically calculated results have been probed by comparing them to the relative satellite yields obtained by de Boer et al. and are found to agree well with their experimentally observed values than their calculated values.
