Authors: Hassan Amel Ahmed , Mohamed Sahar Ahmed
Published: June 2022

Background Fever is the most commonly recognized feature of disease and it is also the commonsymptom that prompts parents to take their children to the clinic. This study aimed to clarify the awarenessof mothers of under-five years old children regarding home management of fever.Methodology This is a descriptive cross sectional community based study conducted in Eid-Babiker.Convenience sampling method was used to include 40 mothers of under-five children who met the selectioncriteria. Data was collected using structured interview questionnaire; it was analyzed using statisticalpackage for social sciences.Results Among 40 mothers included, the majority (n= 28, 70%) of mothers age group was 20-40 years;education level of mothers’in 50% was a primary and 50% was a secondary school. Most of the participants(n=22, 55%) had more than three children. The results also showed that mothers were aware of intensityof fever and 62.5% of mothers took measurement of temperature at home. In addition, 47.5% of themadministered antipyretics to their children without doctor consultation. Regarding seeking medical care,87.7 % (n= 35) preferred treatment at home. A mother’s education level and number of children weresignificantly related to her ability to measure temperature at home (p=0.01), to deal and treat the child withfever at home, and when to take under-five children with fever to hospital.Conclusion The study concluded that mothers of under-five children in Eid-Babiker were aware aboutmeaning of fever, common causes and preferred to treat fever at home.

Authors: Mohamed Elhag Elkhidir  , Mohammed Medani Eltayib  , El-Amin El-Rayah Mohamed
Published: June 2022

A one step, double antibody sandwich chromatographic immunoassay test known as Faecal Occult Blood Test, normally used for screening of human patients suspected of colo-rectal carcinoma, was found to be a useful quick qualitative simple test in identifying human blood in engorged abdomens and filter paper smears of fed femalemosquitoes. Compared to other specific sensitive tests like PCR, it is simple, field operated, read in only two minutes time and can trace human haemoglobin 72 hrs post mosquito feeding. It is endorsed in epidemiological investigations and as a preliminary screening test in crime scene investigations before the more reliable tests looking for specific DNA are applied.

Authors: Lobna Mohammed Ahmed Gurafi  , El Amin El Rayah Mohamed
Published: June 2022

This study was carried out at the Faculty of Science, Department of Zoology. Monkeys were used as a model to mimic decomposition of a human cadaver. For this study two monkeys (freshly dead) were exposed to insects in two different sites, one site was in the sun and located on the roof of the Zoology Department, and the other was in the shade and located under a tree near the animal house of the Zoology Department. The Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae and Muscidae (Diptera) are the primary insects associated with carrion followed by Histeridae, Cleridae and Dermestidae (Coleoptera).There was no difference in the arthropod community collected from sun and shade sites of the two animals; but the decomposition was faster in the sunny area than in shaded one.

Authors: Wasfi M.A. , Gibril I.A.M
Published: June 2022

Plants exposed to salinity stress undergo adverse changes in their key physiological and biochemical parameters. The work reported in this paper assessed the effect of exogenous application of salicylic acid, acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and methyl salicylate (5mM each) on proteins, soluble sugars and chlorophyll content in salt-stressed (50mM NaCl) Dolichos lablab leaves. Salinity significantly diminished proteins and chlorophylls and increased soluble sugars relative to controls. Exogenous application of salicylic acid and its derivatives as foliar spray substantially enhanced and alleviated the deleterious effects of salinity on the studied parameters

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmenlerinin çevre ve alan öğretimine yönelik görüşlerini nitel bir araştırma yoluyla incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemi, amaçsal örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda; 3. ve 4. sınıfta görev yapan 10 sınıf öğretmeni (5 kadın-5 erkek) ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz ile incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre; sınıf öğretmenlerinin birçoğunun çevre ve alan ölçme öğretimini farklı ders içerikleri ile ilişkilendirerek gerçekleştirdiği belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, sınıf öğretmenlerinin ilkokul öğrencilerinin gelişimsel özelliklerini dikkate aldıkları, öğretimi somut materyaller üzerinden planladıkları tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bir başka sonucu ise, sınıf öğretmenlerinin birçoğunun öğretim esnasında tahmin etkinliklerine yer vermediğinin belirlenmesidir. Ayrıca, sınıf öğretmenlerinin rutin problemlerden oluşan etkinlikleri çevre ve alan ölçme öğretiminde sıklıkla kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda; rutin olmayan problemlere öğretim etkinliklerinde yer verilmemesinin önemli bir eksiklik olduğu düşünülmektedir. Son olarak, sınıf öğretmenleri uzaktan eğitim sürecinin çevre ve alan ölçme öğretimini –somut yaşantı sağlayamaması nedeniyle- olumsuz etkilediğine dikkat çekmiştir.

Authors: YAŞAR Enes
Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı Halas romanında ele alınan bağımsızlık hareketinin millî bir mücadeleye dönüşme sürecini değerler eğitimi bağlamında incelemektir. Çalışmada İzmir’in işgaliyle birlikte Türk toplumunun vatan algısı ve yaşanan millî uyanışın boyutları çeşitli yönleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Nihat, İclal, Beatrice ve Kemal Mümtaz karakterleri üzerinden metindeki millî mücadele süreci, değerler eğitimi bağlamında ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman incelemesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma evrenini Mehmet Rauf’un romanları oluşturmakta olup amaçlı örneklem yoluyla Halas romanı incelenmiştir. Ele alınan roman, Spranger’in değerler sınıflandırmasında yer alan millî değerler boyutuyla irdelenmiştir. Elde edilen değer çözümlemeleri için içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, Nihat ve İclal’in Yunanlılar karşısında benzer millî duyarlılıklara sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Fakat Nihat ve İclal’in başlarda hassasiyet düzeylerinde farklılıklar olduğu görülmüştür. Nihat, işgale karşı fiilî bir mücadele gösterilmesi gerektiği düşüncesindeyken İclal olaylara temkinli yaklaşma hatta gerektiği takdirde İngilizlerin himayesini kabul etme eğilimine sahip olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Romanda işgalin İtilaf Devletlerinin himayesine sığınmakla değil, Ankara’daki Millî Mücadele hareketine katılmakla sona erdirilebileceği vurgusu yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak romanda Mütareke öncesi ve sonrasına ait millî değerlerin çeşitli boyutlarıyla ortaya koyulduğu anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca işgal sürecinde İtilaf Devletlerinin Anadolu üzerindeki emellerine ve Ankara’da verilen bağımsızlık mücadelesine dikkat çekildiği görülmüştür. Bu çerçevede romanın millî değerlere katkı sağlayabileceği anlaşılmıştır.

Authors: A Mousa Ahmed , Khaled Agabawi Abdullah , S Rozzah Rayan , K Abdulwasie Hassan
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Immature teratomas or in another way malignant germ cell tumors are considered a very rare type of aggressive ovarian cancers. Of teratomas it represents 1%. In ovarian cancers it still presents 1% and as an overall it presents 35.6% of all malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. In most cases it has been found during the first two decades of life. Case Report: The present case describes a case of a patient who was diagnosed with immature teratoma that was treated surgically and discovered sooner to have a liver metastasis that was treated with hepatic embolization and hepatectomy. Furthermore, she developed recurrence with lung metastasis that was intended to be treated with chemotherapy. Conclusion: Prognosis of this type of cancer is reported to be good as long as it is discovered and treated early in the course. Patients usually present before metastasis. In terms of liver metastasis our patient had a hepatic embolization followed by a right hepatectomy which when compared to other reported cases almost all had a hepatectomy without embolization. Five months later our patient presented with lung metastasis which is uncommon specially after the patient had a right hepatectomy. Based on these findings our patient had a very short disease-free period which is not typical for this kind of disease. Platinum-based chemotherapy is considered the standard of care as an adjuvant therapy. This patient showed resistance to cisplatin where up to our knowledge there were no reported cases that had resistance to this regimen.

ATP bağlayıcı kaset (ABC) taşıyıcı membran proteinleri, tüm organizmalarda büyük oranda korunmuş en büyük membran protein ailelerindendir. Ökaryotik ABC taşıyıcılarının yapısı, bir transmembran alanı (TMD) ve bir nükleotit bağlama alanı (NBD) olarak adlandırılan iki bölgeden oluşmaktadır. Bu proteinler, ökaryot canlılarda ABCA’dan ABCG’ye kadar devam eden toplam yedi ana aileye ayrılmaktadırlar ve bu ana aileler de kendi içlerinde alt ailelere ayrılmaktadır. Plazma zarında ve tonoplast, kloroplast, mitokondri ve peroksizomlar gibi organların zarlarında lokalizedirler ve çok sayıda işlevi yerine getirmektedirler. Başlangıçta detoksifikasyon işlemlerine katılan taşıyıcılar olarak tanımlanmış olmalarına rağmen daha sonraki yapılan çalışmalarda bu proteinlerin bitki büyümesi ve gelişim dönemlerinde ve çevresel streslere karşı tepkilerde de etkili oldukları gösterilmiştir. ABCG'nin tam molekül üyelerinden PDR alt grubu sadece mantar ve bitkilerde tanımlanmıştır. Plant pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) alt ailesine ait proteinlerin çeşitli lipidlerin ve hormonların taşınmasında görev aldıkları ve aynı zamanda bu proteinlerin abiyotik ve biyotik streslere karşı tepkiler sırasında da görevlerinin olduğu yapılan farklı çalışmalarla bildirilmiştir. Yapılan bu çalışmada ise Vitis vinifera sp. genomunda tanımlanan ve PDR alt ailesine ait VvABCG35, VvABCG36, VvABCG37 genlerinin asmada meyve gelişim dönemleri boyunca gösterdiği ifadeler incelenmiş ve bu genlerin fonksiyonları hakkında fikir sahibi olmak için STRING veritabanı kullanılarak etkileşime girdiği diğer proteinler belirlenmiştir.

Authors: ÇELİK Aytaç
Published: June 2022

Bu sistematik sayısal analiz çalışmasında ince film yüzeyinin kararlılığı, elastik dipol etkileri de göz önünde bulunduran matematiksel model ile farklı çeki kuvvetleri altında kararlılığı incelenmiştir. Bu modelde yüzey difüzyonuna gerilmenin etkisi birinci ve ikinci dereceden iki terim ile ifade edilmektedir. İnce film yüzeyinin sinüs dalgası şekillinde olduğu varsayılmış ve bu dalga yapısının yüzeydeki gerilme nedenli difüzyon ile sönümlenme veya büyüme dinamikleri incelenerek kararlılığı test edilmiştir. Elastik dipol etkileşimlerin basma ve çekme gerilmeleri altında farklı yüzey dinamiklerine sebep olduğu, bu farkın kritik basma gerilmesi (σ>100 MPa) üzerindeki basma gerilmesi durumunda çatlak benzeri yapıların oluşmasına neden olduğu gösterilmiştir. Çekme gerilmesine maruz kalan yüzeydeki dalgalı yapının sönümlendiği gözlemlenmiştir. Çatlak yapıların oluşumu sonrası yüzey kinetiği doğrusal kararlılık analizlerinden uzaklaşmaktadır. Uygulanan gerilmeye göre 3 farklı davranış saptanmıştır. Bunlar; sönümlenmenin gerçekleştiği (Ξ >0) çekme kuvveti uygulanan bölge, düşük basma kuvveti (-1,12>Ξ > 0) uygulanan yüzeyin karalı olduğu bölge ve çatlak benzeri oluşumların gözlemlendiği yüksek basma gerilmesinin (Ξ<-1,12) uygulandığı bölgedir. Yapılan simülasyonlarda, çatlak oluşumu sürecinde, çatlak bölgeden difüzyon ile kaçan maddenin tepelerde birikerek yeni tepeler oluşturduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
Identification of novel ADP ribosylation sites in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isocitrate lyase by mass spectrometry
Authors: Antil Monika , Gupta Vibha
Published: June 2022

Mass spectrometry is a powerful proteomics tool for the identification of therapeutic targets and disease biomarkers on one hand and for characterization of post-translationally modified (PTM) and alternatively spliced protein isoforms on the other. PTMs are the covalent modifications of certain proteins either by the addition of functional groups or by proteolytic cleavage. These modifications result in the structure-function regulations of target proteins and generate protein isoforms which may be associated with a particular disease. The prior knowledge of PTMs in a specific drug target aid in designing novel therapeutics. Isocitrate lyase (ICL) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one such drug target, which exists in two isoforms - ICL1 (Rv0467) and ICL2 (Rv1915 and Rv1916) and the activity of the former was reported to be regulated by lysine acetylation and succinylation. While reviewing the major PTMs in Mtb, this review also brings up the plausible role of reversible post-translational modifications such as ADP-ribosylation and acetylation Rv1915 and Rv1916 in assisting persistent Mtb to survive and respond to environmental cues respectively.

Published: June 2022

Brain Tumor is caused when the anomalousl cells that form within the brain and these could be of any size, shape in nature, so it is one of the difficult tasks to detect the presence of tumor. This could be found using MRI scans. In this paper, suitable algorithms have been developed to detect the MRI image has a brain tumor or not. The dataset used here has been taken from kaggle competition. Data augmentation is performed to maximize the data in dataset and this could results in having huge data. Since tumor area can overlap with non-tumor area of the MRI image, preprocessing steps is used to differentiate the images. So the proposed idea is to recognize tumors, this utilizes pre-processing strategies like filters, image enhancements, cropping, dilation, erosion, etc and for image classification pre-trained model InceptionResNetv2 is used as an CNN algorithm to detect whether the tumor is present or not. Various combination of pre-processing steps has been performed to find the effective pipeline for the classification. With the image pre processing techniques like  cropped , median filter and CLAHE is gives a accuracy of 98.03% after the classification.

Published: June 2022

Fire is an abnormal event that can cause significant damage to lives and property within a very short time. The main cause of fire disaster includes a human error or system failure which results in severe loss of human life and other damages. Traditional fire alarms are based on sensors that require proximity for activation. They need human involvement to confirm a fire. To overcome these limitations, vision-based real-time fire detection has been enabled in surveillance devices. Once fire appears in any camera, the approach can detect it and send a signal to respective officers of the fire region. This work focused on an intelligent approach using the Deep Learning model for preventing fire hazards from going out of control in high-fire-risk areas. Deep Learning models are effective for fire detection. Convolutional Neural Networks outperform other algorithms in terms of accuracy. In this work Convolution, Neural Network model Inception V3 is used to detect fire indoors and outdoors and protect the surroundings and living beings.

Objective: Dipterocarp identification is challenging, based on traditional methods of morphological characteristics for species conservation and management. In the present study, the matK region was used as a DNA bar-code to identify the Dipterocarpaceae species in Vietnam. Methods: All the samples were collected at studied localities and identified by morphological methods by the botanist. DNA samples were extracted using the modified Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide method and amplified the matK gene by PCR. Sequencing was performed on an Avant 3100 Automated DNA sequencer system. Results: Thirty-three trees were analyzed, representing 11 species (eight in the Dipterocarpus genus, one in Hopea and one in Vativa) and showing low intraspecific divergence and interspecific divergence within and among Dipterocarpus species, with an average of 0.08% and 0.19%, respectively. However, there was zero distance between D. costatus, D. dyeri, D. intricatus and D. obtusifolius. Three Dipterocarpus species (D. alatus, D. condorensis and D. tuberculatus) were discriminated against, while others (D. costatus, D. dyeri and D. intricatus) showed too low divergent intraspecific lineages and suggested hybridization may be affected them. These results also indicated a low barcoding gap for Dipterocarpus species. The highest gene distance was found between Vatica and Dipterocarpus, with an average of 2.12%. Conclusion: In this study, we used the matK region as a tool to identify some Dipterocarpaceae species in Vietnam. The accurate identification of species may manage and conserve species effectively. Our results showed little sequence differentiation among most Dipterocarpus species. The lack of differentiation may be due to incomplete lineage sort and hybridization between sympatric species. In order to identify species, a combination of two or three chloroplast gene regions should be utilized in further studies. DNA barcoding gap should be analyzed within different genera in Dipterocarpaceae.
Rhythm Beyond the Cinematic Medium/The Pixel Beyond the Movie Theatre
Authors: Mee Sharon Jane
Published: June 2022

In The Affect Theory Reader, Gregory J. Seigworth and Melissa Gregg write about Roland Barthes’s splendid notion of ‘shimmer’: an ‘exhaustively nuanced space’ that may be inventoried as patho-logies (by which to contemplate pathos) of bodies (human and nonhuman). In Alex Garland’s 2018 film Annihilation, a refracting effect — the Shimmer — which has appeared around a lighthouse and is slowly spreading outwards, is being studied. Military groups have entered the Shimmer never to return. A group of female scientists — of which Lena (Natalie Portman), a biologist, is one — enter the Shimmer and begin to inventory the strange organic duplicates of form within it. These organic structures, while extraordinarily nuanced, are also patho-logies of organic life as they are refracted by the Shimmer. This article will consider the ‘exhaustively nuanced space’ of cinema and its patho-logies via the conditions of the rhythm of the pixel in cinema, and beyond, in social media. While cinema, as well as social media, can be conceived as an affective experience, this essay will consider how the rhythm of the pixel as an energetic relation allows for an ethics to arise in the relation between the media text and the spectator/operator. In an examination of the rhythm of the pixel beyond the cinematic medium, I consider the energetic ‘becoming’ of the spectator/operator and the digital image (text and image in social media) as they act in relation. In an examination of the rhythm of the pixel beyond the movie theatre, I consider the infinite intensities in the aisthetic encounter of body and text/image in social media and its correlation to the politics of a mass-art. My hope is that in the ‘exhaustively nuanced space’ of rhythm beyond the cinematic medium and the pixel beyond the movie theatre, what may be found is patho-logies conjured by affective intensities and their connectives whereby digital interactions may no longer be refracted by the passions of divisive debate, but by an ethics of care, compassion, and empathy.

Based on the findings of leading analytics organizations, an average person living in a metropolitan city wastes around 17 hours each year by driving around trying to find a parking spot. In this paper, we will be attempting to solve this problem by using a microcontroller module and IR sensors that work in tandem with an IoT (Internet of Things) system. The prototype consists of a NodeMCU ESP8266 wifi module with a built-in microcontroller and 5 IR sensors. The microcontroller module receives the data gathered by the 5 IR sensors, two of which are placed at the entrance and exit gates while the other three are placed at the respective parking spots to detect whether that spot is occupied or not. The microcontroller module then uploads the received data to the IoT system which then uses the data to guide the driver to a free parking spot. When implementing this concept, we find that the driver experiences a much less tedious and much more time-efficient process when parking his/her vehicle.

INTRODUCTION : La tumeur rénale est une néoformation tissulaire bénigne ou maligne (primitive ou secondaire) développée aux dépens du parenchyme rénal. Elle occupe le 2ème rang des cancers urologiques au Sénégal après le cancer de la prostate. Le but de cette étude était d’identifier les facteurs de risques et le type histologique des tumeurs du rein dans notre centre. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective menée dans notre centre sur une période de 10 ans (2009 à Juillet 2019), incluant tous les patients ayant eu une néphrectomie totale élargie ou une néphrectomie partielle indiquée pour une tumeur rénale avec des résultats histopathologiques de la pièce opératoire. Les paramètres étudiés étaient : l’âge, le sexe, les facteurs de risque, le type histologique, le grade de Fuhrman et la classification pTNM. L’analyse des données était faite à l’aide du logiciel Sphinx Démo© V5 et SPSS©. RESULTATS : Quarante-et-un patients étaient inclus avec un sex-ratio de 0,7. L’âge moyen était de 41,2 ± 16,4 ans. L’hypertension artérielle était le facteur de risque le plus observé dans notre série. La néphrectomie était totale élargie chez 97,5% (40) et partielle chez 2,5 % (un) des patients. A l’histologie, la taille moyenne de la tumeur était de 12,5 ± 4,3 cm. Le carcinome à cellules claires était plus fréquent. L’envahissement du fascia de Gérota était noté chez 2,3 % (un). Trois patients avaient une atteinte ganglionnaire et un seul avait un envahissement de la surrénale homolatérale. La classe pT2bNxMx était plus fréquente. CONCLUSION : Ces résultats montrent que le carcinome à cellules claires est le type histologique le plus observé dans notre centre suivi du carcinome papillaire.

INTRODUCTION : La prostatectomie radicale est une chirurgie du cancer de la prostate qui consiste à l’ablation de la prostate et des vésicules séminales, d’où l’appellation prostato-vésiculectomie. Elle est indiquée pour les cancers de la prostate localisés ou localement avancés.  L’objectif de cette étude était de rapporter les aspects per- et post-opératoires de nos premiers cas de prostatectomie radicale et d’en évaluer les résultats carcinologiques et fonctionnels. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective, colligeant les dossiers des patients ayant eu une prostatectomie radicale dans le service de chirurgie du centre hospitalier national de Pikine (CHNP) entre Janvier 2016 et Décembre 2020. L’exploitation des dossiers médicaux et des registres nous avait permis de recueillir des données anamnestiques, cliniques et paracliniques. Données per-opératoires, de même que les résultats carcinologiques et fonctionnels ont été analysés. RESULTATS : Nous avons effectué 18 prostatectomies radicales durant la période d’étude. L’âge moyen des patients au moment du diagnostic était de 66,55 ans (57 ans et 74 ans). Neuf étaient classés ASA I (50%), et neuf classés ASA II (50%). La PSA totale moyenne était de 41,35 ng/ml avec des extrêmes de cinq et 169 ng/ml. L’examen anatomo-pathologique de la biopsie prostatique avait mis en évidence un adénocarcinome chez tous les patients. Cinquante pour cent de ces patients avaient un score de Gleason égal à six. Le bilan d’extension était sans particularité chez 15 patients. La durée moyenne d’intervention était de 178 minutes avec des extrêmes de 120 et 260 minutes. Le saignement per-opératoire variait entre 250 et 2.000 cc avec une moyenne de 1.105 cc. Treize patients avaient reçu une transfusion sanguine iso-groupe iso-rhésus en per-opératoire. Une discordance entre le stade TNM préopératoire et le stade pTNM était notée dans six cas. L‘incidence des complications immédiates était de 11,11% (une plaie rectale et une plaie urétérale). Un cas de sténose anastomotique a été rapporté. Huit patients étaient totalement continents. Dix patients avaient un dysfonctionnement érectile. A trois mois post-opératoires, le taux de PSAt moyen était de 2,04 ng/ml avec des intervalles de zéro et 8,21 ng/ml. CONCLUSION : Malgré la précarité du plateau technique, la prostatectomie radicale est faisable au CHNP avec des résultats carcinologiques et fonctionnels satisfaisants.

Dinî öğretilerin ahlâkî davranışlara aracılık etmesinde, bireylerin dindarlıkları ve çeşitli tutumlarının etkileri söz konusudur. Ahlâkî düzlemde yanlış olan bir davranışın sadece yanlış değil aynı zamanda günah olduğuna da inanmak ve ona göre davranışlarını düzenlemek bireysel dindarlığın en yüzeysel görünümlerinden biridir. Ahlâkî yaşayış ile dindarlık arasındaki ilişki, her iki yapının doğaları gereği psikolojik perspektifle değerlendirilmeye muhtaçtır. Bu araştırmada ahlâkî olgunluk ile dindarlık arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş ve bu ilişkiyi etkileyebileceği düşünülen çeşitli psiko-sosyal faktörler araştırılmıştır. Betimsel ve nicel desenli olan araştırma, ilişkisel tarama modeli ile hazırlanmıştır. Araştırma örneklemi, Adana’da görev yapan öğretmenler, imam-hatipler, mühendisler ve Kur’an kursu öğreticilerinden 387 gönüllü katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. Veriler, katılımcıların demografik özelliklerine ilişkin bilgi formu, Ahlâkî Olgunluk Ölçeği ve Dinsel Yaşayış Ölçeği kullanılarak anket tekniği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde SPSS Statistics uygulamasından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sorularına yanıt bulabilmek adına, Pearson Moment ve Spearman Rho korelasyon analizleri ile Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) ve Kruskal-Wallis H testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, ahlâkî olgunluk ile dindarlık arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı, orta düzeyde ilişki bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar, dindarların daha yüksek bir ahlâkî olgunluk ortalamasına sahip olduğu anlamına gelmektedir. Dindarlık-ahlâkî olgunluk ilişkisi, çeşitli faktörlere göre değişiklikler gösterebileceğinden, bu ilişki farklı örneklem ve yöntemlerle incelenmeli ve muhtemel yeni dindarlık formları dikkate alınmalıdır.

Precision agriculture relies heavily on information technology, which also aids agronomists in their work. Weeds usually grow alongside crops, reducing the production of that crop. Weeds are controlled by herbicides. The pesticide may harm the crop as well if the type of weed isn't identified. In order to control weeds on farms, it is required to identify & classify them. Convolutional Network or CNN, a deep learning-based computer vision technology, is used to evaluate images. A methodology is proposed to detect weed using convolutional neural networks. There were two primary phases in this proposed methodology. The first phase is image collection & labeling, in which the features for images to be labeled for the base images are extracted. In second phase to build the convolutional neural network model is constructed by 20 layers to detect the weed. CNN architecture has three layers namely convolutional layer, pooling layer & dense layer. The input image is given to convolutional layer to extract the features from the image. The features are given to pooling layer to compress the image to reduce the computational complexity. The dense layer is used for final classification. The performance of the proposed methodology is assessed using agricultural dataset images taken from Kaggle database.

This article reviews Artificial Intelligence (AI)’s challenges and opportunities and discusses where AI might be headed. In the first part of the article, it was tried to reveal the differences between Symbolic AI and Deep Learning approaches, then long promises but short deliveries of AI were mentioned. When we review the problems of AI in general terms, it is a problem that the media has high expectations about AI and keeps the problems and restrictions it creates low. Today, while AI is stuck with issues such as deepfake applications and carbon footprints that create moral and climatologic problems; on the other hand, it is struggling with problems such as deep learning models requiring huge amounts of data. Another problem with deep learning is that deep learning models are a black-box and not open to improvements because it is not known where mistakes were made. Among the new paths ahead of AI are Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) models and hybrid models that generally try to bridge the gap between Symbolic AI and Connectionist AI. If we consider that the most important leaps in AI have been made with the features of the brain that AI can imitate, then the developed HTM models may also be a new opportunity for AI.
Using Scaffolding to Improve Online Group Presentation in English Literature Classes: An Action Study at Van Lang University
Authors: Nguyen Hoa Mai Phuong
Published: June 2022

The aim of this study is to examine the use of scaffolding to improve online group-work presentations in English literature classes. Different stages of action research such as planning, acting, observation, and reflection are described in detail. Three scaffolding activities (questioning, feedback, and providing digital resources) were used in this present study. Qualitative analysis reveals that teachers' scaffolding activities were found to be useful in supporting students’ online presentation of literary texts. Specifically, it was found that teacher and peer feedback scaffolding played an important role in helping learners better understand literary texts. Another finding is that, on the one hand, questioning encouraged learners to explore different aspects of literary works. Providing resources, on the other hand, has a practical impact in helping learners out of frustration in searching for pertinent facts about the presentation tasks. The study can be a useful source of reference in teaching English literature online, especially in a multimodal learning environment.
Army Crew Training: Coaching with Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS)
Authors: Zotov Vlad
Published: June 2022

The training of military crews of armoured vehicles can be enhanced by applying AI-based methods to the training drills. Defence Research and Development Canada used a Human Behaviour Representation approach to create an armoured crew simulation trainer for the Canadian Armed Forces. The Human Behaviour Representation (HBR) approach is a form of rule-based AI that applies a cognitive task analysis to derive a synthetic operator. The cognitive task analysis resulted in a Task Network Model (TNM) for each crew member of the Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) and for the entire crew. These TNMs were inputted into a discrete event simulator to create a synthetic training environment that combines virtual and human members of the LAV crew. The training platform allows a human member of the team to interact with the synthetic crew through voice production software that was integrated with the synthetic environment.The paper presents the development of the Intelligent Tutoring System module for the LAV crew simulation platform that serves as a human instructor for conducting basic LAV drills. The paper outlines the architecture, functionality, and testing of the module. The work shows how the HBR approach can be used to develop a synthetic coach for training a military crew. The work is a step in developing and testing a general training system for small military teams. The training system will allow to conduct basic crew drills, in which a human crew member will be trained with the synthetic crew members, thus overcoming some of the obstacles that military crew training faces: a logistic difficulty to gather a full crew at the same time and place and a deficiency of qualified instructors. The paper outlines the steps for the follow-up work required to develop a generic AI-based autonomous systems for basic training of small military teams.
