The Qur’an which was revealed in Arabic language is the greatest miracle of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلمcontains various knowledges including Science. This matter can be discovered from the I’jaz or the miracle found from the verses of the Qur’an. As a country that holds the philosophy of Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB) and Negara Zikir (“Zikir” Nation), Brunei Darussalam has adopted the application of Quranic verses in several textbooks used in the education system so that teachers and students can relate the verses of the Qur'an to the content of knowledge to be studied, and this includes Science. Science is a field of knowledge that encourages people to develop research activities to produce various inventions and new discoveries from various angles such as agriculture, medicine and communication, to help people live their daily lives more comfortably. Among the objectives of this study is to help teachers and students in understanding Science according to Islamic theory, with the references from the Quran. The textbook “Secondary Science for Brunei Darussalam Textbook - Year 7” includes 8 basic titles. However, this study will only focus on one basic topic, namely "water”. Qualitative methods will be used to obtain the research data. The researcher will analyze the verses of the Qur'an provided in the introductory page of the stated textbook, and then will analyze some views and suggestions on the appropriateness of the use of the Quranic verses. The researcher will also add some verses of the Qur'an that are appropriate and relevant to the sub-topics studied. This study is also intended to give ideas to the teachers on some Quranic verses that can be used in maximizing the understanding of science in accordance to Islamic theory.
The dialogue between linguistics and the poetic avant-garde in Russia in the 1920—1930s: experiments with a universal language
Authors: Sokolova Olga V.
Published: May 2023

The article explores the concept of a ‘universal language’, which was prevalent in both linguistics and the poetic Avant-garde in Russia during the 1910s-1920s. This period was marked by socio-political reforms that led to new realities and concepts. As a result, societies studying international languages, such as Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, and Novial, were formed, and many scholars including Jakob Linzbach, Nikolay Yushmanov, and Evgeny Shmurlo attempted to create new international languages while systematizing and building a typology of universal languages. Of particular interest among the Avant-garde concepts is the ‘cosmic language of AO’ by the Gordin brothers, which builds on Khlebnikov’s ‘star lan­gua­ge tradition but aims for cognitive and linguo-social changes. The article compares the scien­tific and poetic universal languages and concludes that there is a pervasive tendency to­wards linguistic experimentation.
Distributive interpretants in the crossword metalanguage
Authors: Kravchenko Mikhail A.
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we study such a specific product of enigmatic discourse as a crossword puzzle. The powerful potential of this text is manifested in its ability to accumulate and translate cultural meanings and values, which explains the recent appearance of a large number of works on the study of linguistic, cultural, structural-semantic and cognitive-discursive features of the crossword language. The study of the ontological nature of the crossword, as undertaken in this research, is grounded in an examination of its metalanguage essence. Crossword descriptions reflect the outcomes of metalanguage consciousness operations, which aim to depict the elements of the semantics of encrypted nominations. The unit of research is the crossword puzzle cell — the basic structural unit, which is formed by the unity of the description and the encrypted nomination. A description containing information about the encoded word forms a verbalized part of the crossword puzzle cell, and the encoded nomination is a non—verbalized part that is subject to decoding as a result of interpretation of the description. Encoding and decoding of the sign act as two components forming a dialogical unity of the act of indirect communication between the compiler of the crossword and its interpreter. The purpose of this study is to search for and describe the features of distributive interpretants, that is, those descriptions that model the potential contexts of the use of encoded nominations. Distributive interpretants are formed on the basis of lacunized descriptions and appeals to the semantics of the enigma by updating the contexts of its use. The work on the language material revealed the principle of constructing pseudo-distributive interpretants. While maintaining a formal identity with distributive interpretants, they fundamentally form the search area of the encrypted word in a different way, not modeling the semantic context, but using parts of complex words with hyphenated spelling as terms of descriptions, as well as a variety of precedent names and utterances.

Authors: Bourai Nour , Merouani Hayet Farida , Djebbar Akila
Published: May 2023

The field of artificial intelligence has grown significantly in the past decade, with deep learning being a particularly promising technique due to its ability to learn complex feature representations from data. One area where deep learning has shown promise is in image compression, which is important for applications such as medical imaging, remote sensing, and video streaming. Traditional compression methods such as JPEG, JPEG200 and PNG have been used for decades, but recent advances in deep learning have led to innovative techniques that involve training deep neural networks to learn a compressed representation of the image data. This survey paper focuses on research-based applications of deep learning in image compression and reviews recent works on using deep learning techniques to compress and accelerate deep neural networks, including pruning, quantization, and low-rank factorization methods.
In addition, we discuss the use of deep learning techniques to minimize compression defects, such as block artifacts and ringing, which can degrade image quality. The paper provides an overview of popular methods and recent works in the field, highlighting their characteristics, advantages, and shortcomings.
We also discuss challenges and open research questions, such as the trade-off between compression efficiency and reconstruction quality, and the need for standardized evaluation metrics for comparing different compression methods. Overall, this survey aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of current trends in image compression using deep learning techniques and their potential to revolutionize the field. By exploring the advantages and limitations of these methods, we hope to facilitate further research and development in this exciting area.

Published: May 2023

Çevreye kontrolsüz olarak bırakılan her atık başta insan sağlığı olmak üzere tüm canlılara zarar vermektedir. Özellikle su kirliliğine neden olan atıklardan bir tanesi de bitkisel atık yağdır. Bitkisel atık yağ, biyolojik ve/veya kimyasal bir takım işlemlerden sonra tekrar kullanılabilmektedir. Ancak fiziksel olarak basit bir süzme işleminin dışında herhangi bir işleme tabi tutulmadan doğrudan tekrar kullanımına rastlanmamaktadır. Termoelektrik jeneratör (TEJ) güneş enerjisi gibi bir ısı kaynağı ile elektrik üretebilen elektronik bir parçadır. TEJ aynı zamanda sessiz ve güvenli olmaları nedeniyle de tercih edilebilmektedir. TEJ’in iki yüzeyi arasında meydana getirilen sıcaklık farkı ile elektrik üretimi gerçekleşmektedir. Çeşitli soğutma teknikleri ile söz konusu sıcaklık farkının arttırılması ile üretilen elektrik artmaktadır. Bundan dolayı uygulanan soğutma teknikleri TEJ için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada güneş enerjili ısı borusu ile ısıtması sağlanan bir TEJ için pasif soğutma uygulanmıştır. Pasif soğutucu olarak genel geri kazanım yöntemlerinden farklı şekilde sadece fiziksel bir süzme işlemine tabi tutulan bitkisel atık yağ kullanılmıştır. Güneş simülasyonu ile yapılan deneylerde 75 dakika boyunca pasif soğutucunun etkisi incelenmiştir. Referans olarak kabul edilen duruma göre soğutucu akışkan olarak kullanılan bitkisel atık yağ ile iki yüzey arasındaki sıcaklık farkının yaklaşık %5 arttığı görülmüştür. Açık gerilim miktarı karşılaştırıldığında referans ile 0,452V üretim sağlanırken bitkisel atık yağ kullanımı ile 0,476V üretim sağlanmıştır.

Published: May 2023

Termoelektrik jeneratör (TEJ) elektrik üretimi yapılabilen yarı iletken malzeme teknolojisine sahip bir cihazdır.  TEJ tarafından üretilen elektrik yüzeyler arası sıcaklık farkı ile ilişkilidir. Sıcaklık farkı arttıkça TEJ ile üretilen elektriksel gerilim miktarı da artmaktadır. Bundan dolayı yüzeyler arası sıcaklık farkını arttırmaya yönelik pek çok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmaların bir kısmı soğuk yüzeyin soğutulmasına yöneliktir. Yüzey soğutması için aktif ve pasif şeklinde iki yöntem kullanılabilir. Aktif soğutmada enerji sarfiyatı olurken, pasif soğutmada herhangi bir enerji sarfiyatı olmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada TEJ’in ısıtılması işlemi için yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından güneş enerjisi, soğutulması işlemi için de pasif soğutma kullanılmıştır. Güneş enerjisi termosifon tip ısı borusu ile TEJ’e aktarılırken pasif soğutucuda soğutucu akışkan olarak ısı transfer sıvısı kullanılmıştır. Referans pasif soğutucu olarak sadece alüminyum kanatçıklı parça kullanılırken soğutucu akışkanlı için ek bir depo kullanılmıştır. Deneyler laboratuvar şartlarında güneş simülasyonu ile yapılmıştır. Hem referans durum hem de soğutucu akışkan olarak ısı transfer sıvısı kullanılan deneyler 80 dakika ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Deneyler sonunda TEJ’in iki yüzeyi arasındaki sıcaklık farkı referans durumda 12,7oC’de kalırken, ısı transfer sıvısının kullanıldığı pasif soğutma ile sıcaklık farkı 13,4oC’ye ulaşmıştır. Bunun sonucu olarak TEJ’de referans soğutma ile üretilen açık gerilim miktarı 0,463V iken soğutucu akışkan olarak ısı transfer sıvısının kullanılması ile açık gerilim miktarı yaklaşık %6 artarak 0,492V olmuştur.

Published: May 2023

The analysis of Serbia's residential real estate market is the main goal of this paper. Price movements in that part of the market affect price and financial stability equally, which are thus the main goals of most central banks. Prior to the highly contagious COVID-19 pandemic, there was a gradual increase in the number of transactions involving real estate and prices, with oscillations observed throughout the second quarter of 2020. In this paper, we will present the available databases from the Serbian residential real estate market, as well as regulations that have been in place since the 2000s. By analyzing the trajectory in the long run of the housing credit share to GDP by using a Hodrick-Prescott one-sided filter with the parameter set to 400,000 and correlation and regression analysis, the paper's concluding part will determine whether there is a price bubble in this market segment.

Do women in Kosovo and Metohija have their niche and the capacity for independence in the future of business?
Authors: Bojičić Radica , Tripković Anđelka
Published: May 2023

Since the time when women cultivated the land, in order to feed their families, to this day, when numerous opportunities offered by modern life can help them fight for their financial independence, very little has changed. 107 female respondents who took part in this research stated that the primary economic activity they are engaged in is still agriculture. Fear of failure, as well as social prejudices that are increasingly highlighted as formidable and major barriers which, despite emphasizing the importance of the concept of gender equality, directly affect women's decisions about starting their own business, did not deter them from expressing their great determination and willingness to get involved in the process of switching to organic production and thus start their own business in the foreseeable future. Bearing in mind the aforementioned, it is evident that, under difficult business conditions, adequate financial and moral support from all possible relevant sources is necessary to maintain and support the entrepreneurial spirit of women in the province of Kosovo and Metohija.

Authors: Vuković Vuk , Tran Anh , Marić Radenko , Rashwan Abdalla , Henningsen Sebastian , Sliwa Malgorzata , Ubiparipović Bogdan
Published: May 2023

Background: Although Blockchain Technology (BT) is one of the innovations that has considerable potential to improve business processes and enable new services for potential users, its implementation in supply chain management (SCM) of the automotive industry is only at its beginnings. From the growing number of publications focused on this issue, it is evident that the application of BT would significantly contribute to the development of the automotive industry and improve the supply chain of automotive components. Purpose: In this regard, the paper aims to analyze the challenges to the implementation of BT in SCM in the automotive industry sector through a systematic review of the literature and precise definition of the advantages and limitations that appear in supply chains after the application of BT. Study design/methodology/approach: The research is based on the application of systematic literature review methods. The paper presents the results and conclusions of 21 studies based on the search criteria outlined by the Web of Science, Scopus, and SpringerLink index databases. Findings/conclusions: The results suggest that insufficiently developed technology, lack of clear guidelines for implementation, incomplete standardization, legislative ambiguity, conflicts and insufficient cooperation between chain members appear as the biggest challenges for BT implementation. On the other hand, BT has great potential in reducing costs, providing higher quality products and services, and improving chain visibility in the automotive industry. Limitations/future research: The analysis of the papers in the above mentioned databases exclusively in English and the absence of empirical research stand out as the most prominent shortcomings. However, the obtained results of this study represent a quality basis for future research, which, judging by the popularity of the issue, will increase in frequency.

A gestão de áreas urbanas isoladas é um desafio para o poder público municipal, principalmente em municípios de pequeno porte, cuja disponibilidade orçamentária é muitas vezes limitada. Neste sentido, o uso da aerofotogrametria digital, utilizando aeronaves remotamente pilotadas (RPA), popularmente conhecidas como Drones, surge como uma alternativa de subsídio à gestão urbana, tendo em vista seu baixo custo, operabilidade simplificada e possibilidade de imageamento de pequenas áreas em um curto espaço de tempo. Visando avaliar a viabilidade do uso desta tecnologia, este trabalho teve por objetivo o emprego de uma RPA (modelo Phantom 4 Pro) para coleta de dados em uma área urbana isolada no Município de Guararema – SP. A metodologia utilizada contemplou a coleta de pontos de apoio no intuito de atribuir acurácia posicional às imagens, resultando na construção de material cartográfico georreferenciado (ortofoto e modelo digital de elevação) e com qualidade submétrica.Foi verificado que os produtos podem ser utilizados para fins de regularização fundiária, permitindo a vetorização de feições como quadras, lotes, construções, infraestrutura urbana e vegetação, além da extração de curvas de nível. Os produtos se enquadram na classificação de qualidade PEC Classe A, com escala de referência técnica de 1:1000, reafirmando-os como alternativa para atualização da base cadastral de prefeituras e como fonte de informações de qualidade para a o planejamento e gestão de áreas urbanas.
Between the Urban and the Rural: What do Rural Community Organisations Represent in Lithuania?
Authors: Ščerbinskaitė Simona , Baranauskienė Viktorija

Rural community organisations (RCOs) are part of a non-governmental organisations network, an effective tool for tackling local problems and reducing growing territorial exclusion. Despite their significance, it is not fully clear how many of these organisations exist in Lithuania. This is due to several reasons: the typology of settlements in the national law (more specifically, the definition of rural areas) no longer reflects the demographic reality, and the definitions contained in the sub-legislation are ‘manipulated’. In the context of the activities of RCO, this is a flawed practice as it slows down the empowerment of the existing potential of organisations. The article presents the issue of the RCO network as well as addresses the problem of the typology of the settlement system itself. Adapting the research practice opens a scientific debate to launch a search for answers to emerging problems.

The fundamental basis for running efficiency is the running technique, where the lack of it can affect the physical performance of the para-athlete. The objective was to determine the relationship between running technique and physical performance in youth para-athletes belonging to the Ecuadorian Paralympic Committee in the 2022 preparatory period. It was carried out by simple random sampling, with a sample of 16 athletes among 16-19 years. They were evaluated by means of an evaluation scale with indicators in the race phases: support, impulse and recovery, qualifying the athletes by means of a Likert scale when completing the 1000 m test. The Mann-Whitney test was applied for independent samples in the statistical software SPSS, comparing the pretest with the post test. A level of significance of p=0.00 was observed, below p=0.05, so the null hypothesis is rejected and it is evident that there is a relationship between the running technique and the physical performance of the athletes. We recommend to enhance the correction of the running technique with music to improve the performance of middle-distance para-athletes.
