Authors: Baehaqi Imron , Anwar Saeful , Mansur Tamam Abas , Ibdalsyah
Published: September 2023

This study aims to describe the concept of tawhid-based science in the perspective of Buya AR Sutan Mansur. The method used in this research is a type of qualitative research in the form of Library Research by conducting descriptive data analysis. The results of this study found that the concept of science initiated by Buya AR Sutan Mansur is the concept of tawhid-based science, namely the belief in Allah alone, both in the aspects of creation, worship, names and His attributes.  In addition, this study also found that Buya AR Sutan Mansur saw the importance of the position of knowledge as the main tool in carrying out all work, especially in implementing the values of tawhid. In addition, he also classified knowledge into two parts, namely the science of belief and the science of ainul belief. Likewise, it was also found about his concept regarding how to obtain knowledge. According to him, knowledge can be obtained through two things, namely through thought and inspiration. In the context of Islamic education, the concept of knowledge of Buya AR Sutan Mansur has a great influence in efforts to achieve the goals of Islamic education, namely to produce students who have faith, devotion and noble character. Buya AR Sutan emphasises the importance of tawhid-based science, because if it is not based on tawhid what happens is damage and decline. According to him, knowledge without tawhid or faith in Allah will cause humans to forget themselves and neglect their obligations and goals in life

Authors:   Baku State University, Javadova Almas
Published: September 2023

Till the 1450s, the Ottoman Empire had no serious influence on the Black Sea coast yet. The Republics of Genoa and Venice, special trade colonies of on the shores of the Black Sea, were more active in commercial activities. The main trade Genoaese colony was the city of Kaffa, located in the Crimea. In the middle of the 15th century, European merchants tried to buy raw silk, imported from Azerbaijan, in the main trading centers of Genoa, Constantinople, and the Southern Black Sea region. The raw silk, imported from Gilan, Astrabad, Lahijan and Mazandaran, was bought by European merchants as a high-quality raw material in the listed trading centers. In the second half of the 15th century, the advance of the Ottoman empire to the west and the subsequent conquest of important trade centers in the Black Sea, Mediterranean and Aegean seas, where they traded with European countries, dealt a blow to the silk trade of Azerbaijan.

Published: September 2023

Photovoltaic functions to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The use of photovoltaic requires a charging controller to improve the performance of PV to be more optimal. The parts of the charging controller consist of a DC-DC converter and maximum power point tracking (MPPT). DC DC converter is used to change the value of the output voltage of the photovoltaic to reach the peak power of the photovoltaic. To determine the peak power value of photovoltaic, MPPT is needed with incremental conductance algorithm. The DC-DC converter uses a buck converter type with a switching frequency of 150kHz and an inductor of 35µH. The incremental conductance algorithm embedded in the microcontroller works by comparing changes in current and voltage to get the peak power value. The result of this microcontroller is a pulse wave whose duty cycle varies based on the results of the algorithm. This pulse wave will control the buck converter. From the results of this study the charging controller is able to work by changing the value of the duty cycle according to the PV conditions when absorbing power.

Authors: Yaprak Bulent , Aytas Ozgur
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study; determine the eating attitudes and behaviors of university students, who are a sensitive population in terms of eating disorders, and to examine some related factors. A structured questionnaire and face-to-face interviews collected the data. The data collection form has two sections: one for sociodemographics and health behaviors, and one for dietary habits and eating disorders using eating disorders scale (REZZY). The questionnaire explained voluntary study participation. The mean age of the 762 university students included in the study was 23.44±5.33 years and 58.40% were female. Variables that one-off analyses suggested might be connected to the risk of developing eating disorders were examined using the logistic regression model. There was a significant and positive correlation between the REZZY-Total (REZZY-T) score, bulimia and food preoccupation (EAT-1) and dieting (EAT-2) (p<0.01). The study group's female had an eating disorder risk that was 2.1 times greater than that of the male. As students advance through their educational phase, the risk of eating disorders significantly declines (p<0.001). Positive factors reduced the risk of eating disorders by 1.4 times, whereas negative factors roughly doubled it (p<0.001). Impaired eaters eat when they're not hungry, restrict their diet, obsess over their diet, and use food to cope with negative emotions. This will cause emotional, physical, and social problems and lower their quality of life. To prevent disease, improve mental health, and reduce social issues, examine eating behavior.
Effect of antenatal corticosteroids on daily fetal movement count in pregnant women
Authors: Ishrat Nazia , Perween Shahina , Khan Gul
Published: September 2023

Background: Fetal well-being is reflected in the fetal movements perceived by the mother. Corticosteroids are the most common therapy in clinical practice which can affect fetal activity.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dexamethasone administration on daily fetal movement count (DFMC) in pregnant women.

Materials and Methods: A prospective and cohort study was performed in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital. A total of 100 pregnant women between gestational ages of 28 weeks and 38 weeks were enrolled in the study. They were asked to count DFMC on day 0, that is, before administration of injection dexamethasone, on day 2 (after 48 h of first dose), and during day 4 to 7. Women received injection dexamethasone 6 mg i.m. 4 doses at an interval of 12 h for various indications such as pre-term pre-labor rupture of membranes, placenta previa, pre-term labor, and previous cesarean. Outcome measures were changes in DFMC before and after dexamethasone administration.

Results: DFMC was significantly reduced on day 2 of injection dexamethasone administration and returned to baseline values after 4th–7th days of receiving dexamethasone.

Conclusion: Dexamethasone administration resulted in transient reduction in DFMC that mimics fetal compromise; hence, clinicians should be aware of this phenomenon to prevent iatrogenic pre-term birth of the fetus.

Authors: Mills Sara , Fischer Maria , Talbot Sophie , Reed Jenny , Jimenez Carolina
Published: September 2023

Background:
Reindeer are becoming popular animals within petting farms. Few case reports describe the sedation of domesticated reindeer, but none describing the use of ocular local anaesthetic blocks in this species.
Case Description:
A 9-year-old, female, Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) presenting for removal of a squamous cell carcinoma involving the third eyelid. Standing sedation was performed using initial boluses of medetomidine and butorphanol via intramuscular injection prior to catheter placement and maintenance with a variable rate infusion of medetomidine. Supraorbital, auriculopalpebral, infratrochlear blocks and local infiltration of the base of the third eyelid were performed using mepivacaine. Following surgical removal of the third eyelid, atipamazole was administered intramuscularly to antagonize the effects of medetomidine. Patient recovered without complications.
Conclusion:
Medetomidine-butorphanol in combination with local anaesthetic blocks provided a sufficient plane of sedation and analgesia for extra ocular surgery in a domesticated reindeer.
The state of practice in soil-structure interaction modelling in New Zealand
Authors: Hnat Theo , McGann Christopher , Wotherspoon Liam
Published: September 2023

The current state of practice in soil-structure interaction (SSI) modelling in New Zealand was investigated through an industry-wide questionnaire. This used a mixed methods, sequential explanatory research design involving the collection of quantitative and qualitative questionnaire data, as well as follow-up focus groups. Several statistically significant relationships were observed for SSI modelling approaches between different engineering fields, company sizes, and years of experience.
The key findings from this study suggest that there is no consensus on the best SSI analysis methods, modelling strategies, or guidelines to be used. Overall, fixed base analysis remains the most popular method across all company sizes and number of years of industry experience. Engineers from large companies reported higher consideration for SSI modelling and use of performance-based design for design projects, which perhaps reflects the scale and complexity of projects carried out in those companies. However when SSI is considered, analyses are typically limited to nonlinear vertical springs under the foundation as part of a dynamic analysis. Use of SSI for buildings is typically limited to seismic assessments and complex or otherwise high importance structures. However, bridge engineers routinely used pushover analyses with linear and nonlinear springs and dynamic analyses with nonlinear springs, in contrast with the rest of the industry.
There is further room to improve on the quality of communication and interaction between structural and geotechnical engineers. A lack of specific guidance on when SSI should be considered was reported, alongside broader training issues to ensure that structural and geotechnical engineers fundamentally understand the requirements and input/output needs of each role.

Published: September 2023

Objectives: To evaluate the virucidal efficacy of three commercial disinfectants against Senecavirus A (SVA) on five different surfaces at ~25°C and 4°C. Materials and methods: Household bleach, a phenolic disinfectant, and a quaternary ammonium-aldehyde disinfectant were tested at manufacturer’s recommended concentrations against a contemporary strain of SVA on aluminum, stainless steel, rubber, cement, and plastic surfaces at ~25°C and 4°C. Virus propagation and titration were performed on swine testicular cells. Viral titers were calculated before and after exposure to the disinfectant being tested. Results: At ~25°C, household bleach at 1:20 dilution inactivated ≥ 99.99% of the virus within 10 to 15 minutes on aluminum, rubber, and plastic. On stainless steel and cured cement, it inactivated 99.97% and 99.98% of the virus, respectively. At 4°C, bleach inactivated ≥ 99.99% of the virus within 5 to15 minutes on all surfaces except rubber; on rubber, inactivation was 99.91% after 15 minutes. The phenolic disinfectant at the manufacturer’s recommended concentration inactivated only ≤ 82.41% of the virus at either temperature and on any surface, even after a 60-minute contact time. Results for the quaternary ammonium disinfectant were intermediate: 78.12% to 99.81% of the virus was inactivated within 60 minutes at both temperatures and on all surfaces. To detect differences between disinfectants, paired Wilcoxon tests were performed. At 10- and 15-minute time points, efficacies of the three disinfectants differed significantly. Implications: Significant variation exists in the antiviral efficacies of different disinfectants. Hence, they should be tested against various pathogens before use in the field.

Published: September 2023

Objectives: To investigate the factors associated with snuff usage and its neurocognitive effects among women.

 Design: A cross sectional study encompassing a sample of 73 females with an average age range between 18 and 60 years was employed. Participants in this study came from three townships namely Masala having 28 (38.4%), Mushili with 25 (27.4%) and Kabushi with 20 (34.2%) and primary as their education level.

 Measures: Validated snuff questionnaire was used to determine the factors to snuff usage then Trail Making test and WAIS-III Symbol Search test were used to measure attention and working memory. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 computer software was used to analyse quantitative data in order to generate simple descriptive statistics in form of frequencies and tables. An analysis of the correlation with Pearson analysis was conducted to find out the relationship between the frequency of snuff usage with attention and working memory among women.

 Results: From the Trail Making test administered, 62 (84 %) had deficits on attention and 56 (77%) had severe memory impairment according to WAIS III Symbol Search test. Concurrently, most women use snuff for physical (body weight loss /gain, sexual pleasure whitening of teeth, energy for ADL etc) and Pharmacology (Cure for headache, toothache, flu, regulate Bp, siphoning vagina fluid, boost immune system etc ) factors.

Conclusion: The analysis from this study showed a statistically significant relationship between frequency of snuff usage (1-10 times per day) with attention and working memory as snuff impairs both attention and memory. The more one uses snuff the more impairment in memory and attention. In addition, the study revealed social, pharmacology and physical as most factors leading to the use of snuff among women. It is hoped that the results of this study will open research prospects on women using snuff and policy makers to come up with intervention measures in order to arrest this mushrooming problem among women.

Fabulaciones especulativas para una aesthesis decolonial. El rastreo de invisibles en el cortometraje Enviado para falsear
Authors: Navas Maia , Reyero Alejandra
Published: September 2023

En este texto ensayamos sobre la posibilidad de una aesthesis decolonial de la imagen en movimiento latinoamericana. Recurrimos a las nociones de fabulación especulativa de Haraway (2019), arte de rastrear invisibles de Despret (2020) y a otras categorías clave del campo de los estudios visuales como régimen escópico de Jay (2003). A través del análisis del cortometraje de Enviado para falsear, reflexionamos sobre el valor de lo invisible y la imagen negra como figuras retóricas decoloniales de la práctica audiovisual en Latinoamérica. Consideramos, como hipótesis, que los modos de narrar y montar desarrollados en el cortometraje pueden pensarse como fabulación especulativa, cuyo procedimiento es el rastreo de invisibles. Esta operación permite deconstruir las modalidades contemporáneas de socialidad, control y vigilancia. La fabulación de otros relatos sobre tecnologías culturales, naturales y artificiales permite revisar los paradigmas positivistas heredados y hacer emerger nuevos órdenes de lo visible y lo sensible. La apuesta por una aesthesis decolonial planteada en la obra problematiza el régimen escópico eurocentrado y, de esta forma, sugiere modos de hacer y ver imágenes que resisten a las lógicas del inconsciente cinematográfico lumínico.
Studiul privind caracterele morfologice, ritmul de pierdere a apei din boabe și producția hibrizilor de porumb
Authors: BUCOR Nicolae , SECRIERU Silvia
Published: September 2023

The paper presents a synthesis of investigations with 30 inbred lines of maize from different germplasm groups (BSSS, Iodent, Lacaune, Lancaster) and different maturity groups as parental forms. The research was carried out at the Institute of Crop Science „Porumbeni”, in the pedoclimatic conditions of 2022. As a result of topcross pollinations, hybrids from 6 maturity groups were obtained, which differ in morphological characters, productivity and the rate of water loss from the grains. Hybrids from the middle maturity group resulted in a higher productivity, compared to the hybrids from the other maturity groups. The rate of grain moisture loss for the hybrids from middle maturity group is more pronounced compared to early hybrids and is at the same level as late maturity group hybrids.
Stimulating circular economy in the food industry: a comparative analysis of the governance strategies in Greece and Armenia
Authors: MARKOSYAN Davit , ALEKSANYAN Vardan
Published: September 2023

The success of transformation to a circular economic model mainly depends on effective government interventions. The objective of this paper is to reveal the implementation schemes, actors in charge, and funding mechanisms of the circular economy action plan in Greece. Additionally, a comparison has been made concerning the waste management governance practices in Armenia given a few distinct political, social, economic and behavioral characteristics common to both countries. Special emphasis was put on the food industry, since it generates a large amount of waste annually with limited by-product valorization and recycling rate. A comprehensive document analysis has been conducted with deductive or concept-driven approach using the software Atlas.ti. Research results highlighted several deficiencies existing within the policy papers and a set of recommendations covering critical success factors such as education, finance, cooperation, market development, monitoring, and evaluation related to the system change were offered. By addressing these deficiencies, policymakers may ensure an environment conducive to circularity practices and facilitate the transition to a more sustainable and resource-efficient economy.

Kwalificeren na Deliveroo

De auteur analyseert het Deliveroo-arrest (HR 24 maart 2023, ECLI:NL:HR:2023:443). Hij bespreekt de door de Hoge Raad geformuleerde gezichtspunten en gaat in het bijzonder in op het ‘inbeddingscriterium’ en ‘ondernemerschap’. Ook de nuancering van de ‘persoonlijke arbeidsverplichting’ komt aan bod. Het Deliveroo-arrest wordt geplaatst in de context van eerdere rechtspraak van de Hoge Raad (Groen/Schoevers en X/Gemeente Amsterdam), alsook afgezet tegen voorgenomen wetswijzigingen. De auteur concludeert dat met de overwegingen van de Hoge Raad het huidige juridisch kader voldoende ruimte biedt om ‘moderne economische werkverhoudingen’ op juiste waarde te schatten en daarmee de arbeidsverhoudingen correct te kwalificeren.

Authors: Dankov Yavor , Dankova Andjela
Published: September 2023

This paper focuses on educational video games with a thematic orientation related to conserving and preserving Cultural Heritage (CH). Educational video games are effective and contemporary tools for influencing and educating users. Not only the educational content is integrated into these games, but they also embody the pedagogical and moral messages of the educator, which are transmitted to the learners in an entertainment game. This paper proposes a classification of educational video games in the domain of cultural heritage
according to the significance and importance of Cultural Heritage objects in the three categories, presented in detail in the paper. The recommendations to designers included in the classification will help them purposefully design and develop educational video games for CH. These games will have pedagogical principles and form additional knowledge, values, and attitude in users towards the conservation of the CH at international, national, and local levels. The proposed classification of educational video games for CH will promote CH-related educational video games and provide ideas and opportunities for future developments for such educational video games. In this way, educational video games for CH will serve as powerful tools for raising awareness of protecting and preserving Cultural heritage.

Published: September 2023

Graphene oxide (GO) has gained a lot of interest in recent years as a key precursor and a derivative of graphene. The GO was retrieved from graphite flakes using a modified Hummer's approach that differed from the normal Hummer's method. GO-method 1 using sodium nitrate and GO-method 2 not using sodium nitrate (NaNO3). Used approach is chemical exfoliation, where chemicals are used to intercalate between the graphene layers and expand the interlayer spacing. This expansion weakens the van der Waals forces, making it easier to separate the layers. GO-method 1 and GO-method 2 run on ultrasound and dry. Increasing the ultrasonic process of the procedure reduces the preparation time for graphene oxide compared to the original Hummer’s method. The X-Ray Diffractometer result of GO-method 2 shows the diffraction peaks at 2q at 11.06˚ and 42.24˚ which corresponds to graphene oxide. Raman spectroscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometry were used to investigate the molecular structure and optical properties of graphene oxide, respectively. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope of GO to perform elemental mapping on graphene samples and Brunauer Emmet Teller (BET) for surface area determination and pore size distribution results found that GO-method 1 and GO-method 2 corresponds to graphene oxide, which has a macroporous size, and the adsorption response is more respectively.

This research aims to develop the self-cleaning efficiency of silicon dioxide/titanium dioxide/methyl methacrylate (SiO2/TiO2/PMMA) nanocomposite films proved by optical and structural properties. The SiO2/TiO2/PMMA nanocomposite films were prepared by spin coating technique with the crucial parameters of spin speed and film layers. The ratio of SiO2:TiO2 in SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite was conducted at 1:1 by sonochemical process and loading at 1 wt.% in PMMA matrix. Spin speed of SiO2/TiO2/PMMA nanocomposite films in coating process was conducted at 1000, 2000, and 3000 rpm with film growth at 2 layers. Meanwhile, the different film layers of the nanocomposite film were selected as other crucial parameter in spin coating technique and studied at 1, 2, and 3 layers with spin speed 2000 rpm. Surface morphologies, cross-section and element contents of SiO2/TiO2/PMMA nanocomposite films with different spinning speed and film layers were monitored by the photographs, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Moreover, optical property in transmission mode of SiO2/TiO2/PMMA nanocomposite films was characterized by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Furthermore, the contact angle measurement o f SiO2/TiO2/PMMA nanocomposite films can identify to hydrophilic properties on the film surface. Therefore, the improvement of self-cleaning property on SiO2/TiO2/PMMA nanocomposite film was occurred by the optimized conditions of spinning speed at 2000 rpm and film growth at 2 layers by spin coat technique.
