A doença de Alzheimer é uma condição neurodegenerativa progressiva que afeta a cognição, memória e habilidades diárias dos pacientes. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática sobre o uso da estimulação cerebral profunda como terapia alternativa no tratamento da doença de Alzheimer em idosos, os dados foram coletados de estudos primários disponíveis em bases de dados eletrônicas, como National Library of Medicine - PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online – Scielo e Periódicos CAPES do Ministério da Educação. A terapia farmacológica tem sido o tratamento convencional, porém, recentemente, a estimulação cerebral profunda tem surgido como uma abordagem promissora para retardar o declínio cognitivo. Esta técnica envolve a implantação de eletrodos no cérebro, fornecendo impulsos elétricos para áreas específicas, visando melhorar a função cerebral. Os estudos revisados destacam resultados mistos, mas sugerem que a estimulação cerebral profunda pode melhorar a memória e retardar a progressão da doença em pacientes com Alzheimer. No entanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas e ensaios clínicos para validar sua eficácia e segurança.

What if you could accurately simulate a major football match in a virtual environment and view your favorite moments of the game in a detail that would have been impossible through a traditional broadcast? With today's advances in game engine graphics and realistic 3D MetaHumans, that future is closer than you'd think. In this technical paper, we will investigate how MetaHumans are changing sports broadcasts today, exploring the 2022 FIFA World Cup coverage by TelevisaUnivision as a case study. Televisa worked with Disguise Creative Services specialists to allow sports commentators to analyze gameplay more accurately with the help of MetaHumans. Real-time data was fed into 3D digital models of the players to provide in-depth analysis. This presents interesting possibilities for the future, including the potential to scan players into 3D digital replicas and then mirror their movements using markerless camera tracking technology enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Immersive media applications offer experiences that immerse the user in a virtual or hybrid environment and offer more degrees of freedom than with traditional 2D video content. Platforms that offer immersive media allow users to interact with content and other users in shared virtual or mixed-reality spaces. To address the need for an interoperable cross-platform exchange format, interactive and time-evolving solution for such 3D environments, International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Joint Technical Committee (JTC) 1/SC29/WGO3 MPEG Systems has standardized a scene description framework in ISO/IEC 23O9O-14,1 that serves as an entry point format to compose rich 3D scenes, referencing and positioning 2D and 3D assets in the scene, blending with the real world, rich interactivity and providing real-time media delivery. Carriage formats have also been defined for the delivery of the scene description data and of the linked assets based on the well-known and ubiquitous ISO base media file format (ISOBMFF) standard, i.e., ISO/IEC 14496-12.2.

Authors: Mishra Sanjay , Hadar Ravid , Stevenson Brian , Widner ErinRose
Published: May 2024

Virtual Reality (VR) and other forms of extended reality (XR) are beginning to drive deep immersive experiences for premium entertainment and sports content. Data is streamed directly to a headset, requiring the underlying network to accommodate constant throughput of over 25 Mbits/s to support 4K (UHD-1) and over 50 Mbits/s for 8K (UHD-2). Even with the availability of ample capacity in both wireline and 5G mobile networks, network resources along the delivery path may not be shared equitably to meet immersive video's stringent delivery requirements and consequently lead to poor user experience. This study introduces a novel method for customizing existing content delivery networks to support stringent immersive video QoE requirements by increasing visibility into the last mile network by selecting the best congestion control (CC) scheme based on the network and varying content characteristics including machine learning to customize CC when possible.

Authors: Wakahara Yuma , Misu Toshie , Hisatomi Kensuke
Published: May 2024

We are developing a photo-realistic volumetric capture system called Japan Broadcasting Corp. (NHK) Meta Studio. Meta Studio can acquire various material and light-field parameters to enable photo-realistic relighting. Captured data from Meta Studio comprise a multi-dimensional extended point cloud for each frame and is considerable in size. Hence, we adopt a hierarchical format that consists of base and enchancement layers. The base layer is designed for compatibility with the existing format and rendering for a simple relighting method. The enhancement layer includes other components and the advanced rendering shader program, which enables us to fully utilize our advanced photo-realistic rendering method; however, full real-time rendering is still under development. In preparation for full real-time rendering, we have developed an efficient rendering system for the base

Spurious Trend in Stationary Series and its Implications
Authors: KHAN Ghulam Yahya , REHMAN Atiq-ur , SAIM HASHMI Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Nelson and Kang (1984) showed that regression of a unit root time-series on a linear time trend provides significant results even if there is no forecast able association amongst the path of the time-series and linear trend. Using Monte Carlo simulations, this paper shows that phenomenon also exists in stationary time series and regression of a stationary time series on linear trend also produces significant results without the existence of any predictable relationship between the time -series and linear trend. The spurious trend is observable in most of the moderate sample sizes and sometimes in sufficiently large samples of size over 500 observations. The implications of these findings for unit root test procedures are discussed briefly.

The Effect of Brexit on United Kingdom Productivity: Synthetic Control Analysis
Authors: FARID Moatazbellah
Published: May 2024

In this paper is analysed the effect of Brexit on United Kingdom labor productivity and its components using a synthetic control methodology. My results show that the Brexit vote had a negative impact on labor productivity, causing GDP per hour worked to decrease by an average of 2.24% per year in comparison to the absence of Brexit. The two components of labor productivity are GDP and hours worked. I find that the decrease in the GDP is more than the increase in hours worked per person, causing the labor productivity to decline.Copyright© 2020 The Author(s).

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to indicate new developments in households' subjective wellbeing perception. Typology of households is determined depending on their endowment with durables. The determinants of subjective wellbeing include material, financial and immaterial factors, which all are elements of quality of life. Crucial material wealth factors influencing the perceived wellbeing level are the type of households, possession of the house, principal place of residence and a car. New phenomena that aroused at the end of the second decade of the 21st century, circular and sharing economy elements are appreciated as an innovative, additional source of households' wellbeing perception. The analytical econometric tool used here is the multinomial logit model with unordered categories. The typology of households is constructed, depending on their material wealth. There exists a substantial share of households claiming they are not interested in possession of analysed goods. It is considered a proxy measure of a percentage of a new type of families whose decisions are based on circular- and sharing-economy attitude. The analysis for selected material goods indicated influence potency of crucial factors on households' situation. The strength of the impact of individual characteristics was measured. The findings may be important policy design factor.Copyright© 2020 The Author(s).

Authors: ALI Amjad , AUDI Marc , POULIN Marc
Published: May 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of financial inclusion on human well-being in South Asian countries from 1996 to 2020. Specifically, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh were selected for this investigation. Human well-being is treated as the dependent variable, while financial inclusion, health facilities, voice & accountability, income inequality, corruption, education facilities, and the unemployment rate are considered independent variables. The study's findings indicate that financial inclusion, health facilities, and education facilities have a positive and significant impact on human well-being. The improvement of health and educational facilities not only creates more employment opportunities but also contributes to the enhancement of income, education, and health status within a nation. These results explain that selected South Asian countries should prioritize the promotion of education and health facilities to elevate the overall level of human well-being. Voice & accountability, along with corruption, exhibit an inverse and significant influence on human well-being in selected South Asian countries. Income inequality, on the other hand, shows an inverse but insignificant impact on human well-being, while unemployment has a significant and positive influence. Based on the estimated results, it is recommended that to enhance the level of human well-being in South Asian countries, there is a need to improve financial inclusion, health facilities, and educational facilities.© 2023 The Author(s).

Amniotic Membrane in the Treatment of Hard-to-Heal Wounds
Authors: Antoinette Bruwer Febe
Published: May 2024

Chronic or hard to heal wounds result in protracted healing trajectories that place a significant burden on both the patient and the society. Wounds that are classified as hard to heal often result in management challenges for which adjunctive therapies are indicated to assist in the healing process. Adjunctive therapy in wound management refers to additional treatment methods that are used to support or enhance the effectiveness of the primary wound therapy. Several types of adjunctive therapies are available, each with its own merit. Adjunctive therapy is used in conjunction with standard wound care practices to promote healing and assist in preventing complications. In the race against increasing costs, an aging population and increased incidence and prevalence of debilitating co-morbid conditions like diabetes, clinicians need to be innovative in the utilization of recourses that could assist in improving outcomes for patients that suffer from chronic or hard to heal wounds. The use of adjunctive therapy like amniotic membrane (AM) is supported by elevated levels of evidence in that this therapy could, when incorporated into an evidence-based standard of care regime, support or enhance the effectiveness of care and improve outcomes for patients suffering with chronic or hard to heal wounds. The following sections will give an overview of chronic wound healing, where in the treatment algorithm an adjunctive therapy like amniotic membrane could be utilized as well as the practical application of amniotic membrane.
Nrf2 as a therapy target for Th17-dependent autoimmune disease
Authors: Wu Hongmin , Zhong Xiancai
Published: May 2024

Th17 cells are a subset of IL-17-expressing CD4+ T helper cells and play a predominant role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. Th17 cells sustain their activation and effector functions primarily through a metabolic profile characterized by high glycolytic and oxidative metabolism. Both glycolysis and OXPHOs can affect cellular redox status, and vice versa. Nrf2, a master regulator of redox homeostasis, plays a pivotal role in oxidative stress regulation and influences immune cell function. This chapter summarizes the recent advances in the understanding of redox regulation in Th17 cells and explores the therapeutic potential of targeting Nrf2 in Th17-dependent autoimmune diseases. Overall, targeting Nrf2 holds considerable promise as a novel therapeutic paradigm for Th17-dependent autoimmune diseases, offering new avenues for precision medicine and improved disease outcomes.
The European REFORM Project for Hydromorphological Quality in River Basin Management
Authors: Mosselman Erik , Rinaldi Massimo , García de Jalón Diego
Published: May 2024

The Water Framework Directive commits European Union member states to achieve good ecological and chemical status of all water bodies. As hydromorphology is a key factor for ecological status, a consortium of 26 partners from 15 countries studied the role of hydromorphological pressures and measures in the REFORM project. Its main objective was to answer the question: How to make river restoration successful? The project developed guidance for this by structuring the information along the different stages of restoration projects and river basin management plans, posing a logical sequence of questions: How does my river work? What’s wrong? How to improve? Things can be wrong for ecological status as a result of morphological alterations. These alterations form pressures that can be countered or mitigated by measures that improve sedimentological and morphological features. We present two specific results of REFORM that focus on river morphology. First, we provide an overview of methods to assess morphological quality and diagnose alteration. Second, we present systematic cause–effect relationships for restoration measures.

Published: May 2024

The workload of teachers greatly contributes to the quality and academic performance of the learners. This paper sought to investigate the impact of teacher workload on academic excellence and metacognition of learners in two high schools in Chris Hani district in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, with the view of coming up with measures to inform appropriate teacher workload to improve learners’ metacognitive skills and academic excellence. The study was guided by Symbolic Interactionism theory. The study used an Interpretivist research paradigm, followed a qualitative approach, and adopted a case study design. Purposive sampling was used to select 6 participants, data were analysed using semi-structured interviews and were analysed thematically. The findings revealed that excessive workloads cause stress and prevent teachers from completing the syllabus on time. It also established that teachers are faced with too much administrative work, which causes an increase in teacher work overload and negatively impacts learners’ metacognition and academic excellence. The study recommends that various stakeholders should come up with new strategies that will improve the workload that teachers are given. It further recommends appointment of new teachers in schools to reduce teacher workload.
The Impact of Cybersecurity on Industrial Operations Caused by Digital Transformation from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0
Authors: Moeti Michael
Published: May 2024

Over the past few years, the notion of Industry 5.0 has emerged as a subsequent phase in industrial revolution. The distinguishing features of Industry 5.0 encompass advanced technologies that include Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics integrated into manufacturing processes, resulting in amplified automation and efficiency alongside productivity. However, this ever-growing reliance on digital technologies has accentuated the significance of robust cybersecurity measures like never before. Industry 5.0 distinguishes itself from its predecessor, Industry 4.0, in that it prioritizes human labour over automation and digitalization to foster sustainable and resilient industrial production practices. However, the convergence of cybersecurity issues with this novel paradigm may pose considerable challenges going forward, making a comprehensive analysis of security conditions across both industry paradigms essential for devising effective solutions addressing potential threats. To gain insight into such developments within contemporary industrial transformations as they pertain to cybersecurity concerns during the transition period from Industries 4.0 to Industries 5.0, this chapter conducts a review drawing on numerous academic resources regarding best practices in these domains overall. The resulting findings are analyzed by extracting key themes emanating from multiple research streams before synthesizing them into broader frameworks.
Recent Advances in the Importance of Ubiquitylation for Receptor Internalization and Signaling
Authors: Chastel Julia , Angers Annie
Published: May 2024

Receptor tyrosine kinases are activated by binding to their ligands, which trigger modifications in their cytoplasmic domains to initiate signal transduction. Control mechanisms to modulate the signaling of growth factor receptors are essential for proper signaling and require several levels of regulation. Post-translational modifications play crucial roles in intracellular trafficking through mechanisms that are not fully understood. Ubiquitylation is recognized as an essential signal in establishing molecular networks controlling receptor internalization and trafficking at the membrane and in sorting endosomes. In turn, receptor trafficking influences how the signaling networks are activated. Recent advances show how receptor targeting to clathrin-coated pits and internalization influences signaling by allowing specific target activation. At the same time, progress has been made in showing how membrane proteins are organized to facilitate the recruitment of activated receptors to clathrin-coated pits and how this whole process depends on the ubiquitylation of the receptors and endocytosis accessory proteins. Here, we review recent advances in the role of ubiquitylation in receptor internalization and trafficking.

The lowering of gushing potential from hydrophobin by the use of proteolytic enzymes
Authors: Kanauchi Makoto , Bamforth Charles
Published: May 2024

Why was the work done: Gushing caused by hydrophobin originating from field fungal contamination of grain remains a significant problem in certain regions. We sought to explore whether the use of added proteinase enzymes could overcome the problem and allow the use of problematic grain.
How was the work done: Four commercial proteinases were studied for their ability to digest hydrophobin and remove its foaming potential. One of those enzymes was then explored for its utility as an addition to mashing with a view to lowering the gushing potential of the ensuing beer.
What are the main findings: The four enzyme preparations (Smizyme LP-G, Thermoase PC, Bromelain and Papain) were all capable of digesting hydrophobin. Of these, papain was chosen to assess whether the use of such an enzyme in mashing could ameliorate the gushing potential in finished beers. It was demonstrated that this can be achieved and without apparent detriment to the foaming potential of those beers.
Why is the work important: It is now possible for brewers to consider an alternative approach to rectifying gushing risks if they are confronted with problematic grain. It must be stressed that this technique will not address the other main risk from infections of this type, namely the production of mycotoxins. Even in a context where gushing is not a problem, this work has indicated that there should be little concern with addition of papain at the mashing stage from a perspective of decreasing the foaming performance of beer.

Published: May 2024

Os conceitos de nutrição proteica evoluíram consideravelmente nas últimas décadas e, a partir da década de 1980, o desenvolvimento e o aprimoramento dos ensaios de metabolismo possibilitaram o desenvolvimento do método de exigências fatoriais. Este método divide as necessidades proteicas do animal em necessidades de manutenção e produção, onde as necessidades de manutenção consistem em nitrogênio  (N) urinário endógeno, N proveniente da descamação (pele e pelo) e N metabólico fecal, e as necessidades de produção consistem em N necessário para o feto. , crescimento e lactação. Além disso, a amônia presente no rúmen é originária das seguintes fontes: degradação de proteínas verdadeiras e nitrogênio não proteico (NNP) na ração, N reciclado para o rúmen na forma de ureia e degradação de células microbianas mortas no rúmen. A eficácia do uso da amônia pelos microrganismos do rúmen para a síntese microbiana depende principalmente da quantidade de energia disponível. A porção de amônia não utilizada para a síntese microbiana é absorvida através da parede ruminal por difusão e transportada para o fígado através da veia porta. A amônia é absorvida pela parede ruminal na sua forma não ionizada (NH3), enquanto na sua forma ionizada (NH4+) não é absorvida pela parede ruminal. Os aminoácidos são classificados em essenciais e não essenciais e a quantidade e qualidade que chegam ao intestino delgado dos ruminantes é resultado daqueles provenientes da proteína microbiana do rúmen e da fração proteica da dieta não degradada no rúmen. Contudo, a proteína microbiana sintetizada pode não fornecer quantidades suficientes de aminoácidos para atender às necessidades de vacas leiteiras de alta produção. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se realizar um levantamento de informações visando desmistificar a utilização de diferentes fontes de proteína na produção e composição do leite.

Testing social impact and self-attention predictions with live audiences and co-actors
Authors: Hinsz Verlin B.
Published: May 2024

This experiment examined the influences of number of co-actors and audience size on manual dexterity task performance and subjective reactions such as perceived effort and arousal. Predictions derived from social impact theory and the self-attention perspective’s other-total ratio indicated that both number of co-actors and audience size should influence responses. Undergraduate students (N = 128) responded as 1, 2, 4, or 8 group members who were observed in counterbalanced fashion by 1, 2, 4, or 8 audience members for four performance trials. The predictions of increased task performance with larger audience sizes and decreased performance as number of co-actors increased were not supported. Participants’ rated arousal was somewhat consistent with the predictions from the self-attention perspective and social impact theory. Self-reported effort was consistent with the predicted patterns, but not always significantly so. The influence of number of others is moderated by the objective-subjective nature of responses of real co-actors performing in front of live audiences.

Machine learning-enabled fast exploration of stable and active single-atom catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction
Authors: Park Woonghyeon , Noh Juhwan , Gu Geun Ho , Nam Gunwook , Jung Sang-Mun , Kim Yong-Tae , Jung Yousung
Published: May 2024

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can convert renewable energy into hydrogen through water electrolysis. Identifying stable and active single-atom catalysts (SACs) for OER under acidic conditions holds great promise for developing cost-effective and efficient energy storage solutions, but challenging due to the vast number of potential material compositions and diverse surface morphologies. Here, to accelerate new discoveries, we present a high-throughput screening (HTS) framework that leverages the power of machine learning (ML) and density functional theory (DFT). The proposed framework includes an assessment of both the thermodynamic and electrochemical stability of support surfaces. In addition, the integration of ML and uncertainty quantification for predicting the binding energies dramatically reduces the computational cost (by over a factor of 10), facilitating the identification of catalytically active SACs. Following the proposed scheme, we suggest 14 new promising SACs for OER across the 795 binary oxide supports and 21 transition metal atom combinations. These catalysts are found to break the scaling relation due to the enhanced *OOH binding with the support, which arises from favorable hydrogen bonding interactions.

Published: May 2024

İnsan ve hayata dair her durum ve olayın tahkiye edildiği mesneviler, ortaya çıktığı toplumların duygu, düşünce ve yaşam hikâyelerini anlatan metinlerdir. Özellikle iki kahramanın romantik hikâyesi etrafında kurgulanan aşk mesnevilerinde yer alan ziyafet tasvirleri, Osmanlı toplumunun sosyo-kültürel dünyasını yansıtması bakımından dikkat çekici unsurlar barındırır. Bu nedenle, gerek Osmanlı yönetici sınıfının kamusal törenlerini anlatan metinlerde, gerekse yüksek sınıfın oluşturduğu kurgusal metinlerde yer alan yemek sofralarının, ziyafet sahibinin zenginlik, güç ve iktidarını yansıttığı görülmektedir.
Bu çalışmada, klasik Türk edebiyatı sahasından seçilen örnek mesnevilerde betimlenen geniş katılımlı eğlence ve ziyafet sofralarının, özellikle yemek kültürü üzerinden, dönemin kimlik, iktidar ve sosyal hiyerarşilerini okuma denemesi gerçekleştirilecektir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulguların yer aldığı metinler, farklı yüzyıllardan seçilen Kutadgu Bilig, Süheyl ü Nevbahâr, Âlî Sûrnâmesi, Hüsrev ü Şîrîn, Ferhâd ü Şîrîn, Vîs ü Râmin, Şem ü Pervâne ve Nâbî Sûrnâmesi isimli mesnevilerde yer almaktadır. İncelenen metinlerde sunulan yemek kültürü, yazıldıkları döneme tanıklık etmekte ve yiyeceklere yüklenen sembolik anlamlar ve kültürel kodlar hakkında ipuçları barındırmaktadır. Bu sembolik anlamların incelenmesi ve kültürel kodların okunması, edebi metinlerde bahsedilen sosyal sınıfın yaşam tarzı ve kültür dünyasının yanı sıra toplumsal kimlik tanımları ve sosyal hiyerarşi kavramları hakkında da birtakım değerlendirmeler yapabilme imkânı sağlayacaktır.
Şeyh Rûzbihân-ı Baklî’nin Hüsn/Tecelli Anlayışında “Türk” Kavramına Yüklenen İçsel Anlam
Authors: Urhan Adem
Published: May 2024

Bu makale, Şiiliğin Zeydiyye koluna mensup Deylemli bir aile içerisinde dünyaya gelen Sünni mutasavvıf Rûzbihân-ı Baklî’nin (ö. 606/1209) eserlerinde “Türk” algısının nasıl olduğu üzerinde durmuştur. Bazı kaynaklarda Abbasiler zamanında paralı asker olarak görev yapan Türkler ile hicri üçüncü yüzyılda İslam’ın İran’ın kuzeyinde bulunan Deylem Bölgesi’ne girmesiyle Müslüman olan Deylemliler arasında yer yer çekişmelerin olduğu müşahede edilmiştir. Nitekim bu çatışmanın sebeplerinden birisinin de paralı askerlik yaparak geçimini sağlayan mezkûr kabilenin, önceleri de farklı devletlerde aynı orduda görev aldıkları Türkleri kendilerine rakip olarak görmeleri olmuştur.
Bu çalışma Rûzbihân-ı Baklî’nin Türkler hakkında Deylemlilerin aksine bir görüş sergileyip sergilemediğini ortaya koymayı, Rûzbihân-ı Baklî’nin eserlerinde “Türk” kelimesini tasavvufi açıdan nasıl ele aldığını ve bu kavramı tercih etmesinin sebeplerini tetkik edip bilimsel çalışmaların istifadesine sunmayı hedeflemektedir.
Makalede ele alınan konun daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamak için ilk önce Deylem Kabilesi, bunların Türkler ile olan ilişkisi ve Rûzbihân-ı Baklî hakkında kısa bilgi verilmiş, Farsça eserlerde “Türk” kavramına hangi manaların yüklendiği hususu ele alınmıştır. Akabinde makalenin asıl konusunu oluşturan Rûzbihân-ı Baklî’nin kitaplarında “Türk” kelimesine yüklediği anlam “tecelli” ve “hüsn” terimleriyle birlikte işlenmiştir. Son olarak Rûzbihân-ı Baklî’nin ilahi aşkı anlatırken Türk kavramını tercih etmesinin nedenleri tespit edilip aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır.
Nihai olarak Türklerle ciddi çekişmeler yaşayan Şii Zeydi bir aile içerisinde dünyaya gelen Rûzbihân-ı Baklî’nin, kabilesinin aksine bir tavır sergilediği, eserlerinde Türkleri güzellik, kahramanlık motifleriyle tasvir ettiği tespit edilmiştir.
Kafkas Göçlerinden Sonra Vilâyât-ı Sitte’de İskân Edilen Çerkezler ve Asayiş Sorunu (1908-1914)
Authors: Cansız Demet
Published: May 2024

19. yüzyılda Rusya ile giriştikleri çekişmeler ve savaşlar neticesinde Kafkasya’dan sürülen Çerkezler Osmanlı Devleti’ne göç etmeye başladı. 1853-1856 Kırım Savaşı’yla başlayan ardından 1864 yenilgisi ve 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Harbi ile devam eden göçler neticesinde Osmanlı Devleti 3 milyona yakın göç aldı. Babıâli göçmenleri iskân politikasında belli başlı hususları göz önünde bulundurdu. Güvenlik sebebiyle göçmenler bazı bölgelere toplu halde iskân edilirken bazı bölgelere ise dağınık vaziyette yerleştirildiler. Çerkezlerin iskân süreci devletin denge siyasetine hizmet edecek şekilde konumlandırılmıştı. Çerkezler dış politikada Rusya’ya karşı kullanılabilecek unsurlardı. İç politikada ise Müslüman ahalinin güçlendirilmesinde mühim rol oynayacaklardı. İdarî ve askerî kabiliyeti yüksek olan bu gruba üst düzeyde görevler verilerek imparatorluk içindeki millî hareketlerin bastırılması da hedefleniyordu. Bu maksatla Çerkezlerin, Ermeni ve Arapların yoğun olarak yaşadığı vilayetlerde iskân edilmesi uygun görüldü. Dolayısıyla Vilâyât-ı Sitte’ye yerleştirilen Çerkezler bölgedeki Ermeni nüfusa karşı bir güç dengesi oluşturacaktı. Fakat doğu vilayetlerinde meskûn edilen Çerkezlerin Kafkasya’da alışık olduğu hayat tarzını bölgede devam ettirme isteği adaptasyon sürecinde bazı problemlerin meydana gelmesine neden oldu. Çerkezlerle bölgede yaşayan diğer yerleşik unsurlar olan Ermeniler ve Kürtler arasında bazı asayiş sorunları meydana geldi. Bu makalede II. Meşrutiyet’in ilanından I. Dünya Harbi başlangıcına kadar Vilâyât-ı Sitte’ye yerleştirilen göçmen Çerkezlerin diğer unsurlarla ilişkileri ve yaşadıkları sorunlar, meseleler değerlendirilmeye çalışıldı.

This research delves into the effectiveness of Artificial Neural Networks with Multilayer Perceptron (ANN-MLP) and Nonlinear AutoRegressive with eXogenous inputs (NARX) models in predicting short-term rainfall-runoff patterns in the Batu Pahat River Basin. This study aims to predict river water levels using historical rainfall and river level data for future intervals of 1, 3, and 6 hours. Data preprocessing techniques, including the management of missing values, identification of outliers, and reduction of noise, were applied to enhance the accuracy and dependability of the models. This study assessed the performance of the models for ANN-MLP and NARX by comparing their effectiveness across various forecast timeframes and evaluating their performance in different scenarios. The findings of the study revealed that the ANN-MLP model showed robust performance in short-term prediction. On the contrary, the NARX model exhibited higher accuracy, particularly in capturing intricate temporal relationships and external impacts on river behavior. The ANN-MLP produces 99% accuracy for 1-hour prediction, and NARX yields 98% accuracy with 0.3245 Root Mean Squared Error and 0.1967 Mean Absolute Error. This study makes a valuable contribution to hydrological forecasting by presenting a rigorous and precise modeling methodology.
