Authors: Chen Lijun , Wang Qiqi , Jiang Xiaoliu , Zhang Ying
Published: December 2024

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the different categories of males within two groups, namely a community male sample who engaged in online sexual activities (OSAs) and a subclinical male sample who were out of control in viewing pornography and had sought help. Additionally, the study aimed to determine the threshold for excessive OSAs in both samples.Methods A total of 568 community adult males who engaged in OSAs and 567 adult males seeking help for pornography use were recruited online. A latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify potential profiles within the samples. Cut-point analyses were conducted to determine optimal cutoff scores for OSAs in each sample.Results The LPA revealed two categories with different cutoff scores for OSAs within each sample. Excessive OSA can be a screening tool for detecting out-of-control behavior. More stringent criteria for identifying excessive OSAs can aid in distinguishing problematic pornography use (PPU) from impaired control in viewing sexually-explicit materials (SEMs). Two subcategories of loss of control emerged: high OSAs frequency impaired control and high viewing SEMs impaired control.Conclusion The threholds of excessive OSAs varies among community and sub-clinical male samples; this knowledge can assist in screening out individuals with impaired control and selecting individuals with PPU from the subclinical sample.

Published: December 2024

Objective Previous studies have investigated obesity and appetite changes in patients with depression, which consisted of a small age range of adults and used body mass index rather than abdominal obesity. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between abdominal obesity and the risk of depression by sex and age groups.Methods This study utilized the National Health Insurance Sharing Service (NHISS) database of South Korea, which includes those over 20 years old and who had undergone a health examination in 2009 and their claims data between 2009 and 2018. The diagnosis of depressive episodes was based on the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems 10th revision. Abdominal obesity was measured by waist circumference (WC) and was divided into six levels (cm). Cox proportional-hazard regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between abdominal obesity and the risk of depression by sex and age groups.Results Among 9,041,751 participants, 1,376,279 were diagnosed with depression. Those with higher WC (90 cm or higher for males, 85 cm or higher for females) showed an increased risk for depression in both sexes (hazard ratio [HR]=1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07–1.11 for males, HR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.02–1.05 for females). Underweight males (WC<80 cm) also showed an increased risk for depression (HR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.04–1.05).Conclusion It has been found that higher WC was associated with increased risks of depression in both sexes. Although underweight males showed an elevated risk of depression, a healthy weight is associated with fewer depression symptoms.

Published: December 2024

Objective The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic’s social isolation has significantly impacted mental health, increasing depression and anxiety. This study explores the effects of social isolation on both humans and mice, focusing on behavioral changes and hippocampal protein expression. It also investigates genetic alterations through single-cell RNA and whole-genome sequencing (WGS).Methods Here we conducted behavioral studies, protein expression studies, single-nucleus sequencing (snRNAseq), and WGS of the hippocampus of mice that underwent early maternal separation and social isolation, and a demographic study of community populations who had been self-quarantined owing to COVID-19 exposure to investigate the link between somatic mutations and stress due to social isolation.Results The demographic study demonstrated more negative mental health findings among individuals who live alone or are single. Mice subjected to early maternal separation and social isolation demonstrated increased anxiety-like behaviors and stress-related corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1, and neurogenesis-related sex-determining region Y-box 2 and doublecortin expression. In snRNA-seq, differences, such as transthyretin increase, were observed in the maternal separation group, and somatic mutations, including insertion in the intron site of Tmem267, were observed in the social isolation group on WGS.Conclusion The results of this study suggest that stress, such as social isolation, can cause changes at the genetic level, as well as behavioral and brain protein changes.

Published: December 2024

Objective This study aimed to investigate how shift-working nursing professionals perceive the current lights-off time in wards as early, appropriate, or late and how their perceptions can be influenced when considering people’s usual bedtimes.Methods An online survey was conducted comprising queries about the current lights-off time in wards and respondents’ opinions, self-rated psychological status, and perceptions of the current lights-off time considering others’ usual bedtimes. Psychological status was evaluated using the Insomnia Severity Index, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep-16, and the Discrepancy between Desired Time in Bed and Desired Total Sleep Time (DBST) Index, along with the expected DBST Index of others.Results Of 159 nursing professionals, 88.7% regarded the current lights-off time of 9:46±0:29 PM as appropriate. However, when considering others’ usual bedtimes, the proportion perceiving the lights-off time as too early rose from 6.9% to 28.3%. Participants recommended delaying the lights-off time to 10:06±0:42 PM for patients’ sleep and 10.22±0:46 PM for nursing care activities. Nursing professionals’ insomnia severity was significantly higher among who responded that current light off time is too early after considering usual bedtime of other people.Conclusion This study underscores the need to reassess lights-off times in wards given individuals’ typical bedtimes. The findings emphasize the need to address nursing professionals’ perspectives and insomnia severity when optimizing lights-off schedules in healthcare settings.

Authors: Akın Veysi
Published: December 2024

Türkiye, Lozan Barış Konferansında sadece bağımsızlık elde etmekle kalmamış, aynı zamanda uluslararası veya ikili pek çok sorunun çözümünü de sağlamıştır. Türkiye ile Yunanistan arasında Lozan’da müzakere edilerek çözülen sorunlardan biri de nüfus mübadelesidir. Türkiye ile Yunanistan arasında 30 Ocak 1923’te imzalanan Mübadele Sözleşmesi, mübadele kapsamında kalan halk için zorunluluk esasını getirmişti. Buna halklar karar vermemiş, karşılıklı olarak iki halk devletlerin kararına uymak zorunda kalarak yüz yıllardır yaşadıkları ve vatan bildikleri topraklardan ayrılarak, yeni vatanlarına göç etmişlerdir. Onların bu yeni vatanlarından biri de Rum ve diğer gayrimüslimlerin terk ettikleri Edirne’nin Karaağaç Mahallesi idi. Bu dönemde (1923-1928) Karaağaç’a 258 hane mübadil ve muhacir yerleştirilmiştir. Mübadillerin ekseriyeti Yunanistan’ın Makedonya topraklarında kalan Karacaova, Kayalar ve Gevgili’den gelenlerdi. Mübadele kapsamına alınmamış Batı Trakya’dan özellikle de Karaağaç’a yakın köylerden gelen muhacirler de mevcuttur.
Bu çalışma, Edirne Köy Hizmetleri İl Müdürlüğü Arşivinden alınan Edirne Merkezine İskân Gören Mübadil ve Gayri Mübadil Göçmenlere Mahsus Defter’deki bilgilerden hareketle hazırlanmıştır. Defterde mübadil ve muhacirler, hane reisinin baba adı, hane reisi ile gelenlerin adları, iskân ediliş tarihleri, nereden geldikleri, hangi mahalle, cadde ve sokağa yerleştirildikleri, kendilerine verilen mülk ve tapu kayıtları esas alınarak sıralanmışlardır. Hane reisi ile beraber gelenlerin büyük kısmı alt-üst soy bağı olan kişilerden oluşmaktadır. Bununla beraber kardeşler, kardeş çocukları veya evlatlık edinilmiş yetimler gibi soy bağı olmayanlar da mevcuttur. Bu manada Karaağaç’a 258 hane, 1075 nüfus mübadil ve muhacir yerleştirilmiştir. Her bir aileye nüfus sayısı esas alınarak ev verilmiş, bundan hariç dükkân ve kahvehane gibi ticari mülk verilenler de olmuştur.
Karaağaç’a gelen mübadillerin büyük bir kısmı çitçi, bahçıvan, bağcı ailelerden oluşuyordu. Karaağaç, bu manada münbit arazilere sahipti ve iskân edilenler burada bahçecilik ile uğraştılar. Günümüzde Karaağaç ciğer biberi olarak tanımlanan acı biberler, Karacaova ve Gevgili mübadillerinin bölgeye armağanı olarak bilinir.

THE ISSUE THAT BORDERS COULD NOT SOLVE: THE DISPUTE OVER NATIONALITY BETWEEN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND MONTENEGRO
Authors: Temizer Abidin , Serbestoğlu İbrahim
Published: December 2024

The independence of Balkan states is considered to be the partition of the Ottoman Empire in Turkish historiography. However, as can be seen in the example of Montenegro, Balkan states established an administration separate from the Ottoman Empire and defined their people as Montenegrins. On the other hand, Ottomans considered the Montenegrins, who were not the subject of any dispute, as Ottoman citizens; they did not restrain their property rights or prevent them from working. This situation continued until the Treaty of Berlin which was signed in 1878. The official independence of Montenegro after the Treaty of Berlin changed the lives of Montenegrins and the Ottomans living in Montenegro. The nationality of which state would the people whose lands were on the other side of the border prefer? How would they decide about their nationality? Would their choice of nationality lead to denial of their property rights? Or was it an obligation to choose nationality? In the face of these questions to which the public sought answers, both states' rulers prioritized protecting their sovereignty and did not want to behave unjustly towards their citizens. For this reason, they sometimes ignored border violations. Just as the Ottomans refrained from interfering with the Montenegrins in areas such as property, taxation, and work-life unless there were extraordinary situations, Montenegrins also did not interfere with the Ottoman subjects living in their lands.
This article focuses on the issues of nationality between the two states in the period from the independence of Montenegro with the Treaty of Berlin in 1878 until the end of World War I. The article shows that in a period when people mostly preferred nationality within the framework of religious affiliations, property, taxation, and economic conditions were also effective in choosing nationality.

Authors: Kajale Tejaswita , Pawar Abhay , Hole Jitendra , Dubal Sumit
Published: December 2024

Globalization has significantly heightened the demand for fossil fuels, resulting in a notable increase in ozone pollution levels. This heightened environmental awareness has spurred researchers to delve into the exploration of diverse renewable energy sources. In the course of extensive investigation, this study investigates the emission characteristics of a diesel engine fueled by waste-cooking Soybean oil biodiesel and diesel blends. A single-cylinder, four-stroke CI engine was utilized to experiment with various biodiesel blends, assessing major regulated pollutants at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% loads. Different Blends like B10WCO, B20WCO, B30WCO, B40WCO, B50WCO, and B0 Diesel Blends were prepared and ranked using an AHP-TOPSIS hybrid MCDM approach to determine the optimal fuel. AHP was employed to assess each criterion's importance, while TOPSIS ranked the alternatives. NOx emerged as the most significant criterion, with a 30% Waste Cooking Soybean oil biodiesel and 70% diesel blend identified as the best option at 75% and 100 % engine loads. Policymakers can use this integrated analysis technique to develop new business models aimed at reducing exhaust emissions and fossil fuel reliance. This research contributes to the study of renewable energy sources, particularly Waste cooking Soybean biodiesel blends, in automotive usage, providing insights for more efficient and environmentally balanced alternatives.

Authors: Tan Fuat , Alkan Ahmet Kerem
Published: December 2024

In this study, the analysis of piezoelectric pumps produced by microinjection was conducted in a computational setting. Using the Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) design of experiments approach, this analysis examined in detail how cooling water temperature and Reynolds number impact product quality and production performance. With cooling water inlet temperatures between 20°C and 30°C and Reynolds numbers from 8000 to 12000, several critical quality parameters were analyzed, including fill time, injection pressure, wall shear stress, sink mark depth, volumetric shrinkage and residual deformation. The results showed that maintaining injection pressure between 113.8 and 116.1 MPa supported effective mold filling, while wall shear stress values between 0.2566 and 0.2617 MPa preserved mold longevity and enhanced surface quality. Volumetric shrinkage held at 2.775% improved dimensional accuracy and product stability, and controlling sink mark depth between 0.2995 and 0.2999 mm minimized surface deformation. Additionally, an optimized fill time of 0.3327 seconds ensured consistent temperature distribution during filling, enhancing overall fill quality. These findings illustrate that by optimizing cooling parameters and flow control, high-quality, dimensionally accurate piezoelectric pumps can be manufactured via microinjection. This study provides a comprehensive methodology to improve both production efficiency and product quality. Furthermore, the presented data will serve as a valuable guide for researchers in the production of piezoelectric pumps using the microinjection molding method.

Irrigation System in Ancient Mesopotamia
Authors: Sabir Dilman Mohammed
Published: December 2024

Hunter-gatherer groups first began agriculture in Mesopotamia more than 12000 years ago. Over time, these groups learned how to plant crops in Mesopotamia to produce their own food. Each year, the floods of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates brought silt to the land, a mixture of rich soil and tiny rocks. The fertile silt has made the region ideal for farming. Though there was fertile soil in Mesopotamia, farming was not easy there. There was little rain in the area. This meant that the levels of water in the rivers Tigris and Euphrates depended on how much rain fell in the east, where the two rivers fell. Water levels were very high after a significant amount of rain fell there. The floods damaged crops, killed animals, and washed away houses, and the crops dried up when the water levels became too low. The farmers realized that they needed a way to regulate the flow of the rivers. Thus, in both the rainy and dry seasons, early farmers faced the difficulties of learning how to regulate the flow of river water to their fields, and early settlements in Mesopotamia were situated near rivers. They could not regulate the water, and flooding was a big issue. Later, people constructed canals to safeguard houses from floods and pass water to their fields. Mesopotamians used irrigation, a method of providing water to a region of land, to solve their problems. They dug out large storage basins to carry water sources to irrigate their property. Then they dug canals, rivers created by humans, linking these basins to a network of ditches. These ditches supplied the fields with water. The farmers constructed the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates in order to protect their fields from flooding. Even when river levels were heavily irrigated, these built-up banks held back flood waters, raising the amount of food farmers were able to produce. Farmers may potentially generate a food surplus, or more than they need. Farmers have also used irrigation for cattle and sheep to water grazing areas. Mesopotamians consumed a number of foods as a result. There was abundant fish, meat, wheat, barley, and dates since irrigation made farmers more productive, farming required fewer individuals. Some individuals have been free to do other work. As a consequence, new occupations have grown. People became crafters, religious figures, and government employees for the first time. A division of labor is called the type of arrangement in which each worker specializes in a specific assignment or task.
Usability of Jerusalem artichoke tuber waste in lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. longifolia) seedling production
Authors: Paşazade Ebubekir , Hancı Fatih
Published: December 2024

The growing medium, which is crucial for seedling production, directly affects germination and the subsequent root system. This medium not only provides support to the plant, but also acts as a source for water and nutrients. It also allows diffusion in the roots and provides gas exchange between the root and the atmosphere outside the root. In this study, the usability of Jerusalem artichoke tuber residues in lettuce seedling cultivation was investigated under greenhouse conditions.For this purpose, was added main media (peat, perlite, peat 50%+perlite 50%) and different proportions Jerusalem artichoke residues of 32, 48, and 96 grams. At the end of the experiment, the number of leaves, plant weight, plant height, leaf length, leaf width, leaf surface area, root length and root weight values were measured. A statistically significant effect of media types was determined in all measured parameters. A statistically significant effect of medium types was determined in all measured parameters. In general, it has been observed that the 32 g L-1 Jerusalem artichoke residue additives made to the peat cause an increase in many values. The most prominent issue in increases is that the effect on the values from the weight unit is higher than the ones in the length unit.

Методики расследования преступлений: современное состояние, проблемы построения и направление совершенствования
Authors: Хлус А.М.
Published: December 2024

Рассмотрена проблема методического обеспечения стадии предварительного расследования преступлений. Акцентировано внимание на отдельных проблемных аспектах криминалистической характеристики преступлений, дальнейшее развитие которой не способствует самосовершенствованию. Основанные на криминалистической характеристике преступлений современные методики расследования не удовлетворяют потребностям времени по причине несовершенства данной научной категории. По мнению автора, формированию частных методик расследования преступлений должно предшествовать первоначальное выявление, а затем характеристика (описание) материальных элементов, составляющих структуру любого преступного деяния. Такой подход способствует объективному построению информационно-теоретической модели преступления, используемой для целей разработки частной методики расследования. Названы и кратко представлены общие элементы материальной структуры преступлений, определенное сочетание которых составляет структуру расследуемого деяния. Сведения о них могут служить основой для совершенствования методического обеспечения расследования преступлений, а также оптимизации деятельности по расследованию уголовных дел. Автор придерживается мнения о нецелесообразности отказа от криминалистической характеристики преступлений, но считает необходимым её преобразование на основе сформировавшегося учения о материальной структуре преступления. Высказано предложение рассматривать элементы материальной структуры преступлений в неразрывном единстве с их криминалистической характеристикой. Такой подход позволяет говорить о качественно новом понятии, а именно: криминалистической характеристике материальной структуры преступления. Представляя собой информационно-теоретическую модель преступления, криминалистическая характеристика его материальной структуры на объективной основе будет способствовать разработке новых и совершенствованию существующих методик расследования криминальных деяний.
Information resources for checking and correcting Ukrainian-language texts
Authors: Radomska Liudmyla , Vitkovskyi Mykola
Published: December 2024

The article investigates the problem of creating and editing Ukrainian-language texts. The relevance of the study is associated with the important importance of the ability to write a text without linguistic, logical or factual errors, which will contribute to maintaining the authority, rating, reputation of an individual specialist or organization. At the same time, the use of information technologies for checking and correcting Ukrainian-language texts is still poorly studied. The purpose of this work was to study and thoroughly analyze modern, freely accessible online resources for checking and correcting linguistic errors in Ukrainian-language texts.
Testing was carried out on the basis of seven online resources: «Language - DNA of the Nation», «UkrainianCorrection», «LanguageTool», «Istio.com», «Аspose.ai», «WordCount» and «ChatGPT». 2 texts were used for testing: lower (43 errors) and higher (70 errors) levels of complexity.
It was determined that the optimal option for creating language-normative texts in Ukrainian is independent writing with subsequent correction of the result using information resources and refinement by the user. After all, the difficulties in identifying and correcting errors are associated with the complex morphological structure of the Ukrainian language, the peculiarities of grammatical categories, the phenomena of ambiguity, synonymy, paronymy, etc. in the Ukrainian language.
The scientific article provides a thorough analysis of the results of testing the most common modern resources based on conventional algorithms and AI. Based on the results of the study, the conclusions suggest the most effective services that best cope with correcting spelling, punctuation, lexical and grammatical errors. The following methods for further improving neural network resources for editing complex Ukrainian-language texts have been identified: development of new online or offline resources for checking and correcting texts; expansion of text corpora by increasing the number and variety of Ukrainian-language text corpora; replenishment of existing ones and creation of new corpora; new sequential testing of resources and thorough analysis of the results obtained.
Secondary nomination as a means of creating the image of the enemy (based on the material of the online resource)
Authors: Kovalenko Borys
Published: December 2024

In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the media play a significant role, firstly, by disseminating information promptly, and secondly, by actively influencing the minds and emotions of readers/listeners and thus shaping public opinion.
Various aspects of media development have been covered in the works of B.O. Kovalenko, T.A. Kots, M.I. Navlna, O.A. Styshov and others. Researchers, in particular, note that a feature of the language of the mass media is the constant replenishment of new means of expressive speech against the background of standard clichés. The study of the language of periodicals has always attracted the attention of scholars and has intensified significantly during the period of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The discourse of the media during the period of Russian aggression against Ukraine has become an object of interest for such scholars as: S.Z. Bulyk-Verkhola, I.M. Kalynovska, E.K. Koliada, I.M. Koshman, etc.
The development of scientific and technological progress has led to the fact that the print media are significantly inferior to the electronic media. Many newspapers (if not all) are now in electronic format, and online and blog news have emerged.
The purpose of the article is to identify and study the secondary nomination of the Russian Federation, its inhabitants and its leader in the discourse of electronic media during the Russian-Ukrainian war. In the article the methods of linguistic observation and descriptive methods related to the study of the usual and occasional motivation of the secondary nomination are used.
The electronic media form the information components of the image of Russia, its inhabitants and its leader. As a result of the study of the selected corpus of names, we conclude that secondary nominations and periphrastic descriptive phrases make political and informational texts more imaginative, expressive, emotional, evaluative, fresh, original, and allow for the most accurate expression of the author's vision of the facts and events, and make the material interesting and witty.) Negative semantics reflects disdain for the enemy, ridicules Russia's military power, motivates the public, and strengthens international support for Ukraine. Further research will focus on the coverage of the enemy image in regional media.
The essence of the genetic approach to the study of foreign literature
Authors: Polishchuk Lesia
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the genetic approach in the study of foreign literature aimed at analyzing the evolution of a literary work in the process of its creation.
Works of art are used in lessons for documentary illustration of certain realities. This is especially noticeable when interdisciplinary connections are established between literature and the history of the creation of a work. Teachers do not consider that the writer's philosophical views are largely involved in the creation of literary sources. Therefore the facts of reality are primarily used to express the worldview of the artist. The author can create pictures that, in terms of their content, are far from the truth, or even contradict it. The main thing for him is to outline an individual image, a panorama, a picture of the world, to embody in them his subjective vision of what is depicted.
Teachers do not take into account the fact that any writer belongs to a certain generation, was born, and works in a specific historical era. Consequently, he falls under the «captivity» of views, trends, and approaches to understanding that dominated in his time. The artist himself is an intellectual product of his time. He broadcasts worldview principles obtained from the social environment in which he had to live and work. The worldview level of the society of a particular era is rarely taken into account by them.
This becomes especially striking when works on historical subjects are studied. Teachers «test» their content to the realities of long-gone times, forgetting that the author's time had a much greater impact on the artistic material, entering it in the form of dominant standards of thinking.
As observations have shown, the awareness of practicing teachers in the field of the evolution of literary work is minimal. They are weakly oriented to the trends of world philosophical thought, they almost do not associate the development of the art of speech with them. This makes it impossible for high school students to form a clear understanding of the connections between literature and the intellectual space created by the efforts of civilized peoples. It includes not only artistic thinking but also other types of human mental activity, in particular scientific.
