Published: June 2022

Kemapanan ekonomi sebagian masyarakat tanah air berdampak pada pergeseran budaya, salah satunya adalah lahirnya budaya konsumtif. Kemapanan ekonomi menjadi salah satu penyebab mereka untuk membeli segala sesuatu yang diinginkannya. Mereka tak sekadar memenuhi kebutuhan hidup, tetapi juga berusaha keras untuk memenuhi setiap keinginannya. Bisa jadi, sesuatu itu tak dibutuhkan dan tak berguna, namun mereka tetap membelinya. Misalnya saja, mereka tak cukup dengan memiliki satu smartphone, tak cukup dengan memiliki satu sepeda motor, tak cukup dengan satu kendaraan roda empat, padahal yang benar-benar ia butuhkan hanya satu saja

Differential expression of nascent polypeptide-associated complex alpha subunit in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding nascent polypeptide-associated complex alpha subunit, NACA, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. NACA mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of NACA in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in human breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. NACA may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Along with the development of the era of increasingly advanced technology, technology is increasingly developed and sophisticated in the current digital age. And the internet is getting more expansive, and more and more users are even becoming a staple for all of us. So that the community, especially the millennial or youth generations, already understand the technology and the internet. In this day and age, people want the palace to be as easy as possible. And now there is such a thing as an online business at a shop. The purpose of this study was to learn about the social practice of online business at a young age in the village of Pagumenganmas. A descriptive survey was conducted to explain the social rules of online business at Shopee for the youth of the Pagumenganmas village. Qualitative and descriptive research methods.On the other hand, qualitative analysis is a research method that produces descriptive data that can be analyzed. In this study, the planting of youth social practices in Karangdadap District, Pekalongan Regency, was analyzed using Talcott Parsons' structural-functional theory. The basic assumption of Structural Functionalism theory holds that society is a system. A social system consists of interdependent and interdependent elements in a balanced way. If any element changes, the other factors will also be modified. However, societies are interdependent and capable of creating consensus and social order. Of course, like running a business or anything else in life, being successful with an online business at a young age still requires mental preparation and habit adjustments to speed up the journey to success.

Developing seagrass index for long term monitoring of Zostera japonica seagrass bed: a case study in Yellow River Delta, China
Authors: Zhou Qingqing , Ke Yinghai , Wang Xinyan , Bai Junhong , Zhou Demin , Li Xiaojuan
Published: June 2022

Seagrass beds offer unique and vital ecological services as an important blue carbon ecosystem in coastal wetlands. Zostera japonica is an intertidal seagrass species native to eastern Asia and is one of the most widely distributed seagrass species in China. However, little is known on the long-term variations of Z. japonica extents. Automatic mapping method for Z. japonica seagrass beds is in urgent need to fill this knowledge gap. In this study, we proposed a new SeaGrass Index (SGI) for automatic and rapid mapping of Z. japonica based on time-series Landsat satellite imagery, aiming to alleviate the influence of tidal inundation and enhance the separability from other coastal cover types. The SGI considers both spectral and phenological characteristics of Z. japonica, as well as the spatial location of Z. japonica. We took the Yellow River Delta (YRD), China as our study area, where Z. japonica was first discovered and reported in 2015. Based on SGI, Z. japonica extents during 1985-2018 were extracted using multi-Otsu thresholding algorithm. Accuracy assessments based on field investigations and high-resolution imagery showed that SGI has successfully separated seagrass beds from other cover types, especially intertidal salt marshes, with overall accuracies >95%, producer’s accuracies >90% and user’s accuracies >94%. Our study provides the first long-term maps of seagrass beds in YRD. The area of Z. japonica showed large variations during 1985-2018, ranging from 149 ha in 2005-2006 to 1302.9 ha in 2011-2012. The spatial distribution of Z. japonica varied with the morphological change of the estuary caused by river channel shifts. Since 2011, Z. japonica seagrass beds have undergone area degradation due to the invasion of S. alterniflora. The area was only 332.3 ha in 2017-2018. Coastal erosion and extreme climate events such as drought and typhoon might also explain degradation of seagrass beds in YRD. We expect that the SGI will advance automatic and rapid mapping methods for intertidal seagrass beds, and the Z. japonica maps will provide a baseline data for restoration and management of seagrasses at regional scale.

Visual decision aids: Improving laypeople’s understanding of forensic science evidence
Authors: Ribeiro Gianni , Likwornik Helena , Chin Jason
Published: June 2022

Forensic science plays an important role in the criminal justice system, however research and miscarriages of justice have demonstrated that laypeople can easily misunderstand the results of forensic tests. Given the importance of these test results, interdisciplinary oversight groups have called for clearer expression of forensic tests’ corresponding error rates. Meanwhile, a large body of research in the medical domain suggests that visual decision aids can improve understanding of statistical information. Seeking to apply decision aids to the forensic domain, we present three preregistered experiments (N = 879) demonstrating that visual decision aids may indeed improve understanding of forensic science evidence. A mini meta-analysis across the three experiments comparing control conditions to visual aids demonstrated a medium effect size of g = 0.35. Therefore, decision aids represent a promising, easy-to-implement way to improve laypeople’s understanding of forensic science evidence, thereby potentially preventing associated miscarriages of justice.
The anticipated Nankai Trough earthquake and tsunami in Japan: Determinant factors of residents’ pre-event evacuation intentions
Authors: Hirano Kanan , Fukushima Yo , Maruya Hiroaki , Kido Motoyuki , Sugiura Motoaki
Published: June 2022

As a countermeasure against M8-9 class Nankai trough earthquakes, the Japan Meteorological Agency started a service to release “Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information (Megathrust Earthquake Alert).” This alert is released after an M8.0 or higher earthquake occurs, and the possibility of having a subsequent earthquake is evaluated to be higher than usual. This is an innovative attempt at disaster mitigation in Japan as it encourages residents in the predefined area to pre-evacuate for a one week period when tsuanmi risk is higher. However, the factors influencing the evacuation behavior of residents are unknown. In this study, we investigated factors that contribute to residents’ pre-event evacuation intentions using the hierarchical multiple regression analysis method. We focused on the extent to which the recognition of the hazard and risk of the Nankai trough earthquake and the response to the Extra Information, which are changeable by the local governments’ public relations activities, contributed to pre-event evacuation intentions after controlling for disaster-related general attitude and socio-demographic factors. Further, we paid special attention to residents’ degree of recognition of this information by checking the accuracy of their understanding of whether they lived within the pre-event evacuation area. The results showed that the recognition factors were relevant, but less so than the general attitude toward disaster and more so than the sociodemographic factors. In addition, residents’ recognition accuracy was found to be low. Our results suggest that it is important for local governments to make adequate efforts to encourage residents to evacuate.
Belief changes associated with psychedelic use
Authors: Nayak Sandeep Manel , Singh Manvir , Yaden David Bryce , Griffiths Roland R.
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Psychedelic use is anecdotally associated with belief changes, although few studies have tested these claims.AIM: Characterize a broad range of psychedelic occasioned belief changes.SURVEY: A survey was conducted in 2,374 respondents who endorsed having had a belief changing psychedelic experience. Participants rated their agreement with belief statements before and after the psychedelic experience as well as at the time of survey administration.RESULTS: Factor analysis of 45 belief statements revealed five factors: “Dualism”, “Paranormal/Spirituality”, “Non-mammal consciousness”, “Mammal consciousness”, and “Superstition”. Medium to large effect sizes from before to after the experience were observed for increases in beliefs in “Dualism” (β=0.72), “Paranormal/Spirituality” (β=0.90), “Non-mammal consciousness” (β=0.72), and “Mammal consciousness” (β=0.74). In contrast, negligible changes were observed for “Superstition” (β=-.18). At the individual item level, increases in non-physicalist beliefs included belief in reincarnation, communication with the dead, existence of consciousness after death, telepathy, and consciousness of inanimate natural objects (e.g. rocks). The percentage of participants who identified as a “Believer (e.g. in Ultimate Reality, Higher Power, and/or God, etc.)” increased from 29% before to 59% after.” At both the factor and individual item level, higher ratings of mystical experience were associated with greater changes in beliefs. Belief changes assessed after the experience (an average 8.4 years) remained largely unchanged at the time of survey.CONCLUSIONS: A single psychedelic experience increased a range of non-physicalist beliefs as well as beliefs about consciousness, meaning, and purpose. Further, the magnitude of belief change is associated with qualitative features of the experience.
The complex associations between children’s scientific reasoning and advanced theory of mind
Authors: Osterhaus Christopher , Koerber Susanne
Published: June 2022

This 6-wave longitudinal study of 161 German 5- to 10-year-olds (89 females, 72 males) found that scientific-reasoning abilities first develop at 6 years, with significant progression between all waves. Abilities were highly stable, with the kindergarten score predicting 25% of end-of- elementary-school variance. Individual but not developmental differences were related to language abilities (.39), mindreading skills (.33), and the parental education level (.36). In early elementary school, basic mindreading skills predicted scientific reasoning (.15), but not vice versa; in late elementary school, bidirectional associations emerged between scientific-reasoning and more- complex mindreading (.11-.33). Our findings suggest that mindreading is a precursor for the development of scientific reasoning, and that older children use scientific reasoning to test and revise their advanced theories of mind.
Neuroimaging in psychedelic drug development: Past, present, and future

Published: June 2022

Psychedelic therapy (PT) is an emerging paradigm with great transdiagnostic potential for treating a range of psychiatric disorders, including depression, addiction, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and others. ‘Classic’ serotonergic psychedelics, such as psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), N, N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), form the main focus of this movement, but other substances including ketamine, 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and ibogaine also hold promise. The development of these novel treatment modalities in the early 21st century has occurred concurrently with the wider use of advanced human neuroscientific research methods; principally neuroimaging. This has enabled assessment of drug and therapy brain effects with greater precision and quantification than any previous novel development in psychiatric pharmacology. We outline some of the major trends in existing data and suggest that the modern development of PT has benefitted greatly from the use of neuroimaging. Important gaps in existing knowledge are identified which can be addressed by future neuroimaging work, principally using combined Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods, plus other adjunct techniques. Suggestions for future multimodal imaging studies are discussed, which would resolve some of these questions and provide a firmer foundation for the development of PT.

केही भारतीय नेपाली गद्यकवितामा पदपरार्द्ध वक्रता [Padaparardha Vakrata in Some Indian Nepali Poems]
Authors: Baral Khil Prasad
Published: June 2022

पूर्वीय आचार्य कुन्तकले प्रतिपादन गरेको वक्रोक्ति सिद्धान्त संस्कृत साहित्यशास्त्रको एक समन्वयशील सिद्धान्तका रूपमा प्रतिष्ठित छ । यस सिद्धान्तले पूर्ववर्ती आचार्यहरूका काव्यमान्यलाई समेट्दै साहित्य समालोचनाका क्षेत्रमा विभिन्न नयाँ आयामहरू थपेको छ । यस सिद्धान्तअन्तर्गत कुन्तकले वक्रोक्तिका विभिन्न छ भेद तथा तिनका अनेक उपभेदहरूको चर्चा गरेका छन् । यस लेखमा उनले प्रस्तुत गरेका वक्रोक्तिका छ भेदहरूमध्ये पदपरार्द्ध वक्रताका आधारमा केही भारतीय नेपाली कविहरूहरूका गद्यकविताको अध्ययनविश्लेषण गरिएको छ । यसका लागि सर्वप्रथम वक्रोक्तिसिद्धान्तअन्तर्गत पदपरार्द्ध वक्रताको सङ्क्षिप्त सैद्धान्तिक चर्चा गर्दै विवेच्य कविताहरूमा पदपरार्द्धवक्रताको प्रगोग कसरी भएको छ भन्ने तथ्यको अन्वेषण गर्ने प्रयत्न गरिएको छ । यसका लागि विभिन्न भारतीय नेपाली कविका कविताका अंशलाई उहाहरणका रूपमा प्रस्तुत गरी तिनमा पाइने पदपरार्द्धवक्रताको अध्ययनविश्लेषण गरिएको छ । प्राथमिक र द्वितीयक दुवै स्रोतका सामग्रीको प्रयोग गरी वर्णनात्मक पद्धतिअनुसार विवेच्य सामग्रीहरूको विश्लेषण गरिएको यो आलेख मूलतः निगमनात्मक पद्धतिमा आधारित छ । यस अध्ययनबाट भारतीय नेपाली विभिन्न भारतीय नेपाली कविहरूका कवितामा पूर्वीय काव्यशास्त्रमा वर्णित पदपरार्द्धवक्रताको सफल र सार्थक प्रयोग भएको निष्कर्ष निकालिएको छ । [The Vakrokti theory propounded by the Eastern Acharya Kuntak is reputed to be a coherent theory of Sanskrit literature. This theory has added various new dimensions in the field of literary criticism by incorporating the poetic values of the earlier scholars. Under this theory, Kuntak discusses six different types of Vakrata and its many variants. In this article, the study and analysis of prose poetry of some Indian Nepali poets has been done on the basis of Padaparardha Vakrata out of the six variations of the quotations presented by him. For this, first of all, a brief theoretical discussion of Padaparardha Vakrata under the theory of Vakrata has been made and an attempt has been made to explore the fact of how Padaparardha Vakrata has been applied in the poems under consideration. For this purpose, excerpts from various Indian Nepali poetic poems have been presented as examples, and a study and analysis has been made of the verses found in them. This article is based on the deductive method of analyzing the material according to the descriptive method using materials from both primary and secondary sources. From this study, it has been concluded that Indian Nepali poets have successfully and meaningfully used the Padaparardha Vakrata described in Eastern Poetry in the poems of various Indian Nepali poets.]

The purpose of this paper is to explore the practices of benchmarking teacher competencies in the higher educational institutions in Nepal. The amalgamated paper reviews on practices of benchmarking for Higher Education (HE) teachers among different institution(s) in Nepal; and finds teacher’s professional skills, levels of formal qualification of teachers including content knowledge, professional aspiration, developing a thirst for innovations, and 21st -century teaching skills and its transference to learners as accepted areas to define their competencies. Subsequent exploration of practices, experiences of engaged professionals helped us to define the reality that enables the teacher to enter HE services in Nepal. The study reveals all Universities have set criterion to be fulfilled to enter HE teaching that includes; minimum formal academic years of learning (degree), professional experiences including publications (evidence), and required content knowledge and pedagogical skills (audited through an exam). In addition, ‘acceptance’ among students and higher social capital the ‘political linkage were two non-specified areas with noted privilege for the candidate to join University teaching. These insights signal the need for a concisely defined competency framework for a conflict-free community of practice.
Rise of a Giant: Perovskite Solar Cells and Its Economic Viability
Authors: Gaveshana A. Sepalage  , T. A. Nirmal Peiris
Published: June 2022

Solar energy is plentiful. Over the last decades, a significant portion of the energy market has been acquired by solar power. There are several types of solar cells in the market chosen, dependent on the application (Nayak et al., 2019). Silicon solar panels are commonly found in solar farms, and for domestic use, or in other words, it is the market leader. However, due to the specific processing of the silicon materials and lack of practical applicability due to its rigid and opaque nature, the worldwide deployment of silicon technology is still not at an appreciable level, especially in developing countries. Based on this, alternative approaches have been widely studied, out of which the most relevant technologies to mention here are Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) (Kokkonen et al., 2021) and Organic Photovoltaics (OPV) (Inganäs, 2018). DSSCs and OPV are based on materials that are easily processed compared to silicon and have attractive characteristics such as color variability and transparency, so they can be applied to windows and can be integrated into building aesthetic designs. With the continuous developments in these technologies, scientists were refining them to beat the efficiency and the stability achieved by its rival silicon solar cells.

Microbiological Parameters of Different Waste Waters to Evaluate Their Potential to be Use as a Media for Chlorella sp. and Spirogyra sp. Cultivation
Authors: Donbosco Lancy  , Arulanantham Christie Thavaranjit  , Gowri Rajkumar
Published: June 2022

Globally there is severe water scarcity, and methods to reuse wastewater need to be adapted. The objective of this research was to determine the microbiological parameters of different wastewaters in order to study the potential of wastewater as a media to cultivate algae.Food, agriculture, drainage and municipal wastewater sample were collected in sterile bottles separately. Aerobic, anaerobic plate counts, yeast and mold counts were evaluated. Enumeration of coliform, fecal coliform, coliphages and microalgae was performed with all wastewater samples. Chlorella sp. and Spirogyra sp. were isolated from three different paddy field water samples, and growth studies were carried out in different wastewater media with standard sterile Chu’s medium and in sterile tap water medium as control.Heterotrophic, anaerobic bacteria, microalgae, yeast and molds were found in all types of wastewater. Agriculture wastewater had the highest value for aerobic, anaerobic, yeast and mold count in the highest dilution. Coliforms and fecal coliforms were absent in food and agriculture wastewaters on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) medium. Coliform and Fecal coliforms were only observed in drainage and municipal wastewater on Endo agar (EA) medium. Coliphages were absent only in agricultural wastewater and found in the highest numbers in municipal wastewater. Except for agricultural wastewater, other three types of wastewaters contain microbial contaminations. Agriculture wastewater medium significantly enhanced the growth of Chlorella sp. than the standard Chu’s medium. The growth of Spirogyra sp. was stimulated by the food wastewater medium than the other media.

Análise da fusão Bradesco-HSBC pela metodologia de estudo de eventos
Authors: De Souza Sergio Aquino , Morais Ana Maria , Salgado Lucia Helena
Published: June 2022

This paper analyzes the merger between Bradesco and HSBC through the event studies. Eckbo (1983) argues that anti-competitive mergers benefit not only merging firms, but also their rivals, since a less competitive environment also favors them. Therefore, a merger will be anti-competitive if there is an increase in the rival firms’ stock prices. On the other hand, if the market expects that a given merger will produce significant efficiency gains, a decrease in the rival firms’ stock prices would be observed. The analysis by event study was based on daily quotations and market value from the rivals firms. The results indicate a positive impact of the merger on the value of the rivals, so the merger can be considered as anticompetitive. Therefore, the CADE’s decision to approve the merger was inconsistent with the results obtained by the methodology.Key words: Merger evaluation, Event Studies, Competitive effects.
O efeito de diferentes tipos de violência urbana sobre a alocação de recursos orçamentários para a área de segurança pública
Authors: Peixoto Maria Gabriela Viana , De Oliveira Marcos Dias
Published: June 2022

Os tipos de violência urbana que se observam no Brasil são tão variados que nem todos podem ser atribuídos a crimes. Entre os que podem, alguns crimes podem ser considerados para a decisão do agente público sobre onde alocar recursos escassos, outros não. O problema estudado neste trabalho é o efeito de diferentes tipos de criminalidade urbana na alocação de recursos públicos para a área de segurança pública. Para tanto, foram testadas cinco variáveis independentes – taxas de homicídio, tráfico de drogas ilícitas, apreensão de armas de fogo ilegais, estupro e roubo de veículos. Somente a última não se mostrou estatisticamente significativa; os resultados sugerem que as outras quatro influenciam a autoridade pública na decisão de alocação de recursos.

Published: June 2022

Os eventuais efeitos anticompetitivos de atos de concentração podem se manifestar por meio de abuso de poder de mercado unilateral ou coordenado. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de verificar se decisões recentes do Cade sobre efeitos coordenados têm se baseado em uma metodologia de análise que considera uma lista de características dos mercados afetados (“check list”) por um ato de concentração que podem favorecer a coordenação. Assim sendo, estuda-se, via uso de uma “check list”, os casos analisados pela autarquia sob a vigência da Lei 12.529/2011 em que foi constatada a presença de efeitos coordenados. Essa “check list” foi construída a partir de critérios dispostos nos guias de autoridades antitruste e da literatura sobre efeitos coordenados em atos de concentração. Após a análise jurisprudencial, verificou-se que o Cade vem usando a “check list” para investigar a probabilidade de efeitos coordenados em atos de concentração, o que tem levado a análises elaboradas sobre o tema, que não se baseiam somente no grau de concentração dos mercados envolvidos.

Com o advento das novas tecnologias, deu-se início a um novo movimento monetário, que deixa de utilizar o dinheiro na sua forma tradicional e passa a utilizar as criptomoedas. Elas são moedas virtuais controladas por criptografia, totalmente descentralizadas, que dispensam o intermédio de qualquer instituição financeira, e com isso garantem um custo zero de transação. Pelos seus benefícios elas são utilizadas massivamente no uso doméstico, e já há indícios de sua utilização no Direito Empresarial, principalmente no âmbito societário, que é marcado por processos lentos, burocráticos e onerosos. Um exemplo é a Recuperação Judicial, que possui diversas etapas e objetivos, com intuito de manter a atividade e a função social da empresa. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a viabilidade da utilização das criptomoedas no âmbito empresarial e principalmente em uma Recuperação Judicial. Após, destaca-se pontos principais da Análise da Econômica do Direito, aplicando no caso estudado. Para chegar aos resultados, optou-se por uma metodologia dedutiva bibliográfica, pois utilizou-se doutrinas sobre Análise Econômica do Direito e Recuperação Judicial, e artigos acadêmicos coletados de banco de dados de revistas cientificas sobre o uso da Blockchain e Criptomoedas. Concluindo que é possível alinhar a tecnologia no âmbito empresarial e jurídico, em penhoras à execução, integralização de Capital Social, registros contábeis, e utilizar as criptomoedas na recuperação Judicial. Utilizando conceitos como a escolha racional e aplicando a Teoria de Custos de Transação, entende-se que a criptomoeda é um auxílio à preservação da atividade empresária.

The production chains in the Midwest are the most important and complex in Brazilian agribusiness. This study was developed with the objective of analyzing the structure and evolution of the primary production of the dairy chain in Brazil. The analysis was carried out based on information provided by official agencies (federal and state), especially through the Municipal Livestock Survey (PPM/IBGE). In the national scenario, the data show significant increases in production and productivity with a reduction in the number of animals and territories. Brazil is the world's largest food producer. The more technologically developed the region, the greater the production and productivity of the agribusiness production chain, this probably occurs in almost all production chains.

Knee meniscuses are fibrous cartilages that are present to disperse friction in the knee joint between the tibia and femur bones. They work to disperse body weight and reduce friction while moving. Because the condyles of the femur and the tibia converge at one point (which changes as they bend and stretch), the meniscus expand the weight of the body.

It is important to describe the mechanical behavior of the meniscus because of its significant role in bearing the load on the knee joint. Research shows Compressive stresses on the menisci have been shown to be a major factor in destructive joint injuries, including osteoarthritis. Anterior cruciate ligament tearcan also have a profound effect on the meniscus. Clinically, meniscus injury is common in patients with a tear cruciate ligament. The main purpose of this study is to determine the stress distribution diagram of internal and external menisci and to evaluate the comparison of healthy meniscus stress and meniscus tearwith the stability of the cruciate ligament and the instability of this ligament.

The bone structure of a healthy joint was designed and analyzed in ANSYS program package, and the forces applied to the meniscus under the presence or absence of ACL ligament were evaluated.

The results of biomechanical studies showed that tearof the meniscus and the anterior cruciate ligament play an important role in the stability of the meniscus. With the tearof the meniscus and ligament diagram, the distribution of stress and the amount of stress in the meniscus increases, which can be obtained by the interdependence of the meniscus and the surrounding ligaments for normal joint function.

Since the 1950s a discipline called ‘Artificial Intelligence’ has been gaining significant popularity. The curiosity about creating computers that can think and produce information like human beings has allowed scientists and computer engineers to contribute to this field. Many components such as robots, softwares and algorithms have been produced due to this purpose. Like various disciplines, Artificial Intelligence has been branched into several sub-disciplines. One of these branches is named ‘Machine Learning’. Machine Learning has different types of sub-branches such as Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning and Deep Learning. Deep Learning is the main Machine Learning technique used in this study. The ability to cope with complex situations allows Deep Learning models to be used in different application areas widespread. Predicting cryptocurrency prices can be counted as one of these applications. Because of investors’ desire to observe the cryptocurrency prices trend and reduce the investment risk using an effective method is becoming crucial. For this purpose, we created a Long Short-Term Memory which is a type of Deep Learning with the appropriate parameters via Python programming language. The dataset which is used to feed this model was obtained from the internet. After running the algorithm with this dataset, the validity of the model is calculated by a statistical tool called Mean Square Error. To visualize the effectiveness of the model’s output, a Python programming language library known as Matplotlib was chosen. Also, after the reviewing results of the model required interpretations and information about future studies will be explained by us in the Conclusion chapter.
