Günümüzde hızlı kentleşme ve beraberindeki nüfus artışları yerleşim alanlarında gürültü artışına neden olmaktadır. Yapılan değerlendirmelerle, kent yaşamında, ulaşım kaynaklı ana çevresel gürültü kaynağının karayolu gürültüsü olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. Karayolu gürültüsünü azaltmak ve olumsuz etkilerini önlemek amacıyla en etkin ve ekonomik yol kaynakta kontroldür. Ancak kaynakta denetimin yetersiz kaldığı durumlarda, kaynak ile alıcı arasında kullanılan akustik engeller öne çıkmaktadır. Tüm dünyada karayolu kaynaklı gürültü azaltımı için farklı tasarım bileşenlerine sahip gürültü bariyer sistemleri kullanılmaktadır. Karayollarında gürültü kontrolünü sağlamak üzere bariyer sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi öncesinde uygun kesitlerin belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Stratejik gürültü haritalama çalışması yapılmasıyla, kabul edilebilir gürültü seviyelerinin aşıldığı alanlar ve bu alanlardaki karayolu kesitleri tespit edilebilmektedir. Ancak, söz konusu kesitlere bariyer uygulanması için sınır aşım alanları içerisinde farklı kriterler de değerlendirilmelidir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, Türkiye’de stratejik gürültü haritası hazırlanmış 20 il için karayollarında gürültü bariyer sistemi uygulanabilir potansiyel kesitler belirlenmiştir. Bu kesitler belirlenirken, stratejik gürültü haritalama çalışmaları kapsamında tespit edilen karayolu etki alanlarında sınır aşım değerlendirmelerinden ve gürültü modellemesi girdi verilerinden faydalanılmıştır. Modellenen 620 km ana karayolunun yaklaşık %3,9’una gürültü bariyeri uygulanabileceği tespit edilmiştir.

Authors: AYMAZ Samet
Published: November 2023

Çoklu-odaklı görüntü birleştirme, aynı sahnenin farklı odak değerlerine sahip iki veya daha fazla görüntüsünün birleştirilerek tüm-odaklı bir görüntü oluşturulmasıdır. Tüm-odaklı görüntü oluşturulurken temel amaç kaynak görüntülerdeki doğru odak bilgisinin maksimum seviyede birleştirilmiş görüntüye aktarılmasıdır. Önerilen çalışmada, bu amaç doğrultusunda yeni bir hibrit yaklaşım önerilmektedir. Bu yaklaşım, görüntülerden çıkarılan önemli özelliklerin sınıflandırılması ve etkili füzyon kuralları ile birleştirilmesine dayanmaktadır. Özellik çıkarımında, özgün olarak tasarlanan ve basit sistemlerde dahi kolaylıkla çalışabilen bir CNN mimarisi kullanılmaktadır. Çıkarılan özellikler, SVM sınıflandırıcısına verilmekte ve özellik vektörünün odaklı ya da odaksız olarak sınıflandırılması sağlanmaktadır. Sınıflandırma işlemleri sonrasında her bir kaynak görüntü için ikili karar haritaları oluşturulmaktadır. Bu karar haritalarının yanında, önerilen çalışmanın özgün yönlerinden birisi de kararsız bölgelere ait haritaların da çıkarılmasıdır. Bu bölgeler, sınıflandırıcının özellik vektörlerini tam olarak sınıflandıramadığı odaklı bölgelerden odaksız bölgelere geçiş noktalarından oluşmaktadır. Görüntü birleştirmede en önemli konulardan birisi de füzyon kuralının seçimidir. Önerilen çalışmada, sınıflandırıcının kesin olarak karar verebildiği noktalar doğrudan birleştirilmiş görüntüye aktarılırken, kararsız bölgeler için iki alternatif füzyon kuralı kullanılmaktadır. Bunlar gradyan-tabanlı ve laplas-tabanlı füzyon kurallarıdır. Çalışmada her bir füzyon kuralı için, füzyon kurallarının birleştirmeye etkisi gözlemlenmektedir. Sonuç olarak, önerilen çalışmanın performansı objektif performans metrikleriyle değerlendirilmektedir. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde, çalışmanın basit sistemlerde çalışabilen etkili bir füzyon aracı olduğu görülmektedir.

Abstract | Indonesia is among the highest organic waste-generating countries, with an average of 12 × 106 t yr–1. After being processed, organic waste is highly potential to contribute to animal farming, and “aking rice” is one such product. After cleaning and rinsing, rice remains are sundried to reach a water content of < 14 %. However, no literature or findings are yet to discover whether “aking rice” is palatable for poultry. Therefore, this study is focused on determining “aking rice” palatability to see its chance to substitute corn and rice bran with an experimental design of three replications employing three treatments of corn (T1), “aking rice” (T2), and rice bran (T3). Broiler chickens aged 35 d with an average body weight of 1 870 g were involved – each treatment unit was of three, making a total of 27 chickens. Data gained from the experiment were run through one-way ANOVA, followed by an LSD test should any differences in the treatments occur. The result showed that consumption on T2 (59.89 g) was higher than on T1 (42.19 g) and T3 (9.22 g). As of feeding duration, T2 (680 s) was also higher than T1 (610 s) and T3 (140 s). Conclusively, “aking rice” has a better palatability rate than corn and rice bran, making it feasible for recommendation as a substitute for the other two base feed materials.
PUBLIC DISCOURSE IN THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOUR STATES OF UKRAINE CONCERNING THE RUSSIAN INVASION
Authors:   Educational and Scientific Institute of International Relations of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Pipchenko N.
Published: November 2023

The war significantly affected Ukraine's, European and the world's political, security, economic, and social resilience and caused regular increases in information aimed at creating perceptions of a pseudo-escalation of the situation, strengthening panic ideas and national discontent. The public discourses in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, and Hungary are characterized by different views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine: discreet, mostly neutral discussions take place in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania; discussions involving all communication channels are observed in Poland; mainly destructive criticism promoted by users on social media is noted in Hungary. The paper examines the thematic lines of discussions and their sentiments with an emphasis on the negative attitudes; the context of formed narratives; the interests of authors who write on the researched subject; the platforms and countries where discussions take place and their focus. In general, two trends could be distinguished in the creation of negative narratives about the war against Ukraine: the first is aimed at creating ideas of public despair towards the possibilities of social protection, and the second trend focuses on drawing parallels between historical and actual events with the addition of false historical facts. Keywords: war, invasion, refugees, sanctions, EU, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania.

Article is devoted to the analysis of theoretically and practical aspects of human rights protection mechanisms in cases of violations of competition into the EU. It was determined that the right to fair competition has economic as well as social aspect. The basics of competition protection on the EU level (covered in Articles 101 and 102 TFEU) were rooted from the doctrine of ordoliberalism. The social aspect of the right to fair competition shows consumers the right to receive fair benefits to the domestic market by staying in the equal access to the goods and / or services. The Charter of Fundamental Rights, which, according to the Treaty of Lisbon, is one of the fundamental documents of the EU, confirms this social dimension of the right to fair competition. Article 38 of the Charter states that “the Union’s policies ensured a high level of consumer protection.” This means that one of the objectives of EU competition policy is to protect consumer rights. It should be noted that in almost all cases concerning violations committed by the subjects of competition law, the EU Court of Justice deviated from the issue of the protection of human rights. CJEU jurisprudence in the field of human right violations in competition sphere & the ECHR practice in cases concerning violations of competition (specifically Menarini case) was researched. This case demonstrates the immediate relevance of fundamental rights to EU competition law enforcement.

Published: November 2023

Medicinal plants, enriched by nature with potent compounds, hold great promise in developing natural drugs with minimal side effects. This study focuses on Martynia annua, a plant species renowned for its medicinal potential. We aimed to identify and quantify phytochemicals in its leaf extracts and evaluate their in vitro antioxidant activity. Methanol, hexane, and water were used as solvents for extraction. Qualitative analysis revealed a range of pharmacologically active phytochemicals, including alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, proteins, amino acids, phenols, fixed oils, and terpenoids. Methanolic extract exhibited the highest diversity, with eight distinct compounds. Quantitative analysis showed that methanolic extract contained the most phenols (0.5 mg/g) and carbohydrates (12 mg/g), while hexane had the highest flavonoid content (319 mg/g), and aqueous extract displayed the most protein (53.57 mg/g). Antioxidant assays demonstrated the superior performance of methanolic extract, with maximum inhibitory percentages of 92.99% (DPPH), 94.28% (FRAP), 76.11% (ion chelating), and an IC50 value of 52.17 µg/ml, indicating its remarkable antioxidant potential. These findings underscore Martynia annua as a valuable source for phytochemicals with significant antioxidant properties, particularly in the methanolic leaf extract, holding promise for future therapeutic developments."

Published: November 2023

In recent years, the complexity of threats utilizing the network as an attack vector has significantly increased. Traditional attack prevention and detection systems (IPS/IDS) based on signatures do not provide an acceptable level of security for many organizations. Furthermore, the volume of traffic on corporate networks has also grown exponentially, while quality of service requirements do not always allowfor deep inspection (at the application layer) of packets. The main objective of this work is to demonstrate that the application of machine learning techniques to the information of data flows circulating through the network allows for the satisfactory detection of malicious traffic. Specifically, this work is developed within an emerging network paradigm, such as software-defined networks

Published: November 2023

Separation control and formation of boundary layer Newtonian flow in a diverging perme-able channel in Darcy-Forchheimer porous material having suction/injection are discussed. Self-similar equations from governing equations are acquired and existence conditions for boundary layer structure are derived using nature of velocity gradient inside boundary layer. It reveals that if sum of Darcy permeability parameter and twice of Forchheimer parameter exceeds 2, then the boundary layer flow always exists with all type of mass suction/injection and even without suction/injection. Also, if mass suction parameter goes beyond 22, then there is no matter what are the values of Darcy permeability parameter and Forchheimer pa-rameter, a boundary layer exists inside the divergent channel. In addition, obtained numerical solutions are exhibited graphically. It reveals that thicknesses of velocity and thermal bound-ary layers reduce with Darcy and non-Darcy resistances of porous medium and fluid tempera-ture also diminishes. The velocity and temperature reduce with increment of mass suction and contrary results are found for mass injection.

Published: November 2023

The spacer represents an essential part in the nuclear fuel rod. Spacer grid with mixing vanes in fuel rod bundle of nuclear reactor core has a significant impact on heat transfer perfor-mance in downstream to grid spacer. Grid Spacers are located on the nuclear fuel rod as-sembly to hold suitable clearance among the rods in a bundle. The objective of this paper is to study the enhanced heat transfer performance of R134a at supercritical pressure 4.5 MPa near downstream to mixing vane spacer in a vertical channel of annular flow. A spacer of 0.38 blockage ratio with mixing vanes, situated at mid-span of an annular channel is used in the present work. Numerical simulations have been accomplished for spacer with mixing vane and spacer without mixing vane in an annular channel by using commercial CFD (Computa-tional fluid dynamics) code ANSYS Fluent. The present investigation represents the compara-tive study for spacer with mixing vane and spacer without mixing vane effects on heat transfer and flow field characteristics in a downstream direction for mass flow-rate 0.41469 kg/s and heat flux 160 kW/m2. The results indicate that spacer with mixing vane has notable influence on heat transfer performance and flow field characteristics downstream of mixing vane spacer as compared to spacer without mixing vane. Wall temperature fall and increase of coefficient of heat transfer are significantly greater adjacent to spacer downstream. Spacer influence in the improvement of the heat transfer is noted up to distance X/D = 40 downstream and then flow is found as fully developed.

Authors: Abdulrasheed Abdulrauf , Suka Ibrahim A. , Lawali Yahaya B. , Ahmad Mukaddas M. , Abdullahi Nafiu , Tukur Hassan
Published: November 2023

Cranium bifidum is an incomplete closure of the skull at the suture lines, leaving a space through which the intracranial tissues can protrude. Meningocele is the herniation of the meninges containing cerebrospinal fluid through the cranium bifidum. This congenital defect is attributed to the intake of certain poisonous plants, genetic abnormalities, hereditary factors, malnutrition, bovine viral diarrhea, and others. The obvious clinical sign is a floating saccular protrusion of varied size and volume and is typically associated with cranium bifidum in the frontal or parietal region. Surgical management involves exposing the effective cranial opening and suturing the dura mater in a simple continuous pattern. Prognosis depends on the presence or absence of neurological signs; neurological signs are associated with morphological changes in brain tissue with poor prognosis.
The enactment of the maternity and paternity bill 2019 of Pakistan
Authors: Sajid Barka , Farid Rabeya , Tabassum Muzainah
Published: November 2023

“Parental leave” or “family leave” refers to a sanctioned duration off from work that is granted to both parents, irrespective of gender, to nurture a recently arrived offspring. This comprehensive terminology encompasses maternity, paternity, and adoption leave.  Maternity leave is an expression of honour for the awe-inspiring physical and emotional journey experienced by mothers, simultaneously intertwining with paternity and adoption leave, which shines a spotlight on indispensable contribution of fathers. In 1919, the international labor organization (ILO) was established for the sake of providing women workers their necessary maternity leave rights. As stated in convention no. 183, maternity leave should be of at least 14 weeks or above, whereas recommendation no. 191 highlighted that leave should be of at least 18 weeks. The maternity leave can be further classified into: (a) compulsory maternity leave (CML), encompassing two weeks after birth; (b) Ordinary maternity leave (OML), spanning the initial 26 weeks of maternity leave; (c) additional maternity leave (AML) accommodating the succeeding 26 weeks of leave.
The mental and physical wellbeing flow within the People Value Stream
Authors: Hines Peter , Butterworth Chris , Greenlee Caroline , Jekiel Cheryl
Published: November 2023

The aim of this paper is to consider the mental and physical wellbeing of employees through a lean-inspired People Value Stream lens. Poor well-being is a major cause of reduced productivity for organisations and a drain on healthcare services. We develop a conceptual approach as to how the interrelated spheres of mental and physical health might be dramatically improved through the lean, proactive intervention of employees. This requires the creation of a self-reliant wellness approach by focusing on an individual's meaning and goals and their consequent overall wellness and motivation. This involves assessing their mental and physical ‘flow’ during their career and how individuals can take control of their own wellbeing with the support of their team and wider organisation. Attention to this flow will help employees achieve what they want more quickly and effectively, with consequent benefits to their team and the organisation. We show how this can be achieved from a conceptual point of view and with a practical example. This is the first flow to be considered in detail within the People Value Stream approach. This provides a framework to completely rethink mental and physical wellbeing from the viewpoint of the individual rather than the organisation.
Enriching the Linguistic Concept Development of English Undergraduates Through Covid-Induced Blended Learning Practices: A Design- Based Research Perspective
Authors: Buczek-Zawiła Anita
Published: November 2023

This paper investigates the incorporation of blended-learning instructional design into an academia-level linguistic course of Contrastive Phonetics and Phonology as an effective and localised measure to suit the shift from the physical classroom to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This course followed the principle of design-based learning. The research examines the ensuing revision of pedagogical intervention on three subsequent course iterations, taking place both under pandemic restrictions and in the post-pandemic reality, as well as the participants’ opinions and attitudes towards the changed instructional paradigm. Using a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology, the data were collected from the participants’ final exam marks, their comments in course evaluation surveys and from semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal the multi-aspectual effectiveness of the hybrid design and the participants’ favourable attitude towards the revised course design, thus proving that this could be a new, post-pandemic course formula.
Di An and Yan Ge: Chinese 80 Hou Women Authors on the Family
Authors: Jakubów-Rosłan Zofia
Published: November 2023

Depictions of the family in 20th- and 21st-century Chinese literature have reflected the social and cultural discourses dominant in the country, especially Chinese intellectuals’ changing attitudes to tradition and modernisation. The last decades have seen China’s rise to economic prominence, accompanied by the increased influence of the neoliberal ideology, which has been met with a neoconservative response. A new model of the family has thus emerged. It has been imagined as a shelter from the unsettling realities of life under the conditions of the market economy, a private, consuming community managed by women. This paper focuses on the ways of describing the family in the novels by two well-known women writers of the 80 hou generation (authors born in the 1980s): Di An and Yan Ge. The image of the family in their prose has been compared to the private and neoconservative models and to the depictions of the family in the new historical novel.

Modeling of the Legal Category of Inadmissible Evidence in the Russian Criminal Procedure Law
Authors:   Attorney of the Chamber of Lawyers of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic Postgraduate Student of the Saratov State Law Academy (SSLA), Remizova Marita S.
Published: November 2023

The article deals with the problems of uncertainty of such a legal category as the definition of «inadmissible evidence in criminal procedure law». This term has not been reflected either in the Basic Law of the State or in the current criminal procedure legislation. This circumstance gave rise to a corresponding discussion in his scientific works. In this study, using the method of two-level triadic decryption, the definition of the required legal category of inadmissible evidence is obtained, which reflects the legal essence of this procedural term with the necessary and sufficient degree of completeness. The author also proposed fixing the found legal category as a basic legal term in part 1 of Article 74 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation.

Published: November 2023

Actual exposure of a person in committing a crime begins to be carried out even before the appearance of the procedural status of a suspect or accused, including before the initiation of a criminal case. If in the course of the operational-search activity carried out before the initiation of a criminal case, results are obtained that expose a person in the commission of a crime, then later they can be legalized as evidence in an initiated criminal case and used to prosecute this person as a suspect, accused. In the domestic scientific literature, such a person who is actually exposed is proposed to be called “suspected”, “potential suspect”, “hidden suspect”; “person of operational interest”, “person under development”. An analysis of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation allows us to establish that the figure of the suspect has long been known to the body of constitutional control, and in its practice the Court has repeatedly spoken about the possibility of involving such a person to participate in the operational-search activities of a lawyer. As a result, the author proposes to supplement the Law on Investigative Activities with definitions of the concepts of “suspected” and “operational prosecution”, as well as to fix the list of rights of a suspected person when he participates in operational-search activities, primarily the right to use the services of a lawyer.

The article analyzes the provisions of the criminal procedural legislation of foreign countries regulating the procedure for handing over the criminal procedural status of the accused to a person with the refraction of these legal positions on the domestic criminal procedural doctrine and practice. From the point of view of the comparative approach and taking into account the legal traditions of the domestic criminal process, proposals are formulated to improve the institution of bringing a person as an accused. It is noted that the existing procedure for giving a person the status of an accused person is dissonant with the principles of competitiveness and equality of the parties to the defense and prosecution and is more typical of the investigative type of criminal process. According to the authors, in an adversarial criminal trial in Russia, an accusation should be brought against a person by a prosecutor or other representative of the prosecuting authority before a court with the participation of the defense. The decision on bringing a person to criminal responsibility should become the exclusive prerogative of the court.

From June 2022 to August 2023, 20 patients with inoperable liver tumors underwent radioembolization of the liver with 188Re albumin microspheres 20–40 μm at the A. F. Tsyba MRSC — a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “NMIC of Radiology” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Results. The technical success of the operation is 100 %. After the introduction of 99mTc-MAA and the implementation of the SPECT/CT scan of none of the patients revealed the accumulation of radiopharmaceuticals in the organs of the gastrointestinal tract; bypass surgery to the lungs ranged from 1 % to 4.5 %. Grade I hematological toxicity was observed in 15 (75 %) patients, grade II — in 3 (15 %) patients, grade III — in 2 (10 %) patients. All the studied patients had grade II hepatological toxicity. Good tolerability was observed in 10 (50 %) patients, satisfactory tolerability — in 7 (35 %) patients, unsatisfactory tolerability — in 3 (15 %) patients. There were no pronounced complications during the follow-up of patients of the first phase of the study. Conclusion. Our first experience of using domestic microspheres has demonstrated acceptable indicators of toxicity and tolerability, which allows us to continue working in this direction.
Film is a woman. The manifestation of femininity in the work of Maria Sadowska based on Women’s Day
Authors: Sieńko Piotr
Published: November 2023

The aim of this article is to discuss a film by Maria Sadowska, entitled Women’s Day. The main theme around which the artist decided to build its plot is Halina Radwan’s herstory. A woman fulfils various socio-cultural roles, including that of mother, worker and woman, which exposes her to discrimination and exclusion. Feminist criticism therefore proved to be the primary tool used in the analytical process. The article refers to representatives of different research disciplines. The focus lies in capturing the relationships experienced by the main character in Sadowska’s film, both within the private and public spheres. This is preceded by an introduction, which outlines the subject matter addressed by Sadowska, and accompanied by an overview of the basic assumptions of feminist perspective in film studies.
Patterns of learning. Coping with school failure and its relevance to educational practices in adulthood
Authors: Petelewicz Marta , Pieńkosz Julita

Participation in adult learning is unequally distributed in terms of sociodemographic characteristics. One of the targets of public policy is to raise and even the level of participation among different social groups. In the article we concentrate on adults already taking part in non-formal educational activities, however, their attitudes, ways of participation and benefits from education differ significantly. The analysis aims to explore and link the experiences of compulsory education with those of adult education. School failures and ways of coping with them seem to be of particular importance. We also analyse the context, especially in terms of family capital and parenting styles. We identified two distinct patterns concerning lifelong learning – cumulative advantage and cumulative disadvantage, and present a few outliers. We argue that attitudes toward adult education and potential gains are determined by previous educational experiences within the school system.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the formation of tourist-based destination brand brilliance as a differential advantage for a destination according to Alderson’s differential theory. This will be done via content generated on social media sites by both destination management organizations and tourists, and through the mediating role of three dimensions of Aaker’s brand equity model: awareness, image and perceived quality. Alderson’s differential theory in a tourism context, and investigating the brilliance aspect of a brand, are both new research areas. Data was collected by electronically distributing questionnaires to 398 WhatsApp and Telegram users in Iran. This study confirms the relationship between tourist-generated content and destination brand brilliance through the mediating roles of awareness, image and perceived quality, but the content generated by the destination management organization to make a destination brand brilliant is only possible through the mediating roles of image and perceived quality. There is also a significant positive relationship between the perceived quality of a destination and the formation of destination brand brilliance. The findings of this research will help destination management organizations to better think about, and better manage, content generated on social media sites by organizations and tourists to form brilliance for their destination brand.
The Political Mobilization of African American Churches: Forms, Models, Mechanisms
Authors: Napierała Paulina
Published: November 2023

African American churches are famous for their political involvement and advocacy efforts on behalf of their own ethnic group. However, while some of them have been heavily involved in various forms of political activity, others have avoided it, focusing mainly on matters of the spirit. In this article, I will present the origins and various forms of Black churches’ political engagement, but foremost I will analyze the debate concerning the mechanisms of their political mobilization, trying to answer the question regarding the key factors, which according to researchers, influence churches’ activism. Different research perspectives will be considered, and special attention will be paid to the comprehensive model by Eric L. McDaniel.
Sytuacja małoletnich cudzoziemców bez opieki (Menores Extranjeros No Acompañados – MENA) w Hiszpanii
Authors: Kosmynka Stanisław
Published: November 2023

Intensyfikacji procesów migracyjnych w wielu częściach świata towarzyszy szczególny rodzaj wyzwań określanych przez przemieszczanie się dzieci i nastolatków bez opieki osób pełnoletnich. Zjawisko to od lat jest zauważalne także w Europie, do której ta kategoria nieletnich trafia w sposób nielegalny w przeważającej mierze z państw afrykańskich. Artykuł ukazuje oblicze tego problemu w Hiszpanii, która – jak wiadomo – jest państwem docelowym i tranzytowym dla tysięcy imigrantów pochodzących z różnych obszarów. Analiza tu zawarta, w której posłużono się metodą historyczną i systemową, przedstawia profil społeczny cudzoziemskich dzieci bez opieki oraz wyzwania określające ich sytuację. Artykuł przybliża zarazem główne płaszczyzny rozwiązań instytucjonalnych, implementowanych w Hiszpanii w odpowiedzi na ten problem. Wskazuje, że pomimo wdrożenia kompleksowych inicjatyw pomocowych w wielu regionach nadal istnieją społeczne, ekonomiczne i kulturowe problemy na tym tle.

Authors: Walas Aleksander
Published: November 2023

Artykuł skupia się na rosnącej roli, jaką pełni technologia wirtualnej rzeczywistości (Virtual Reality – VR) w dziedzinie nauk społecznych. Omówiono różnorodne aspekty wykorzystania technologii VR w badaniach eksperymentalnych, skupiając się na kontroli warunków badawczych, realizmie środowiska, monitorowaniu i rejestracji zachowań uczestników. Przedstawiono przykłady badań, które wykorzystały VR do analizy zachowań społecznych, jak facylitacja i hamowanie społeczne, psychoza, czy reakcji uczestników na sytuacje ekstremalne, takie jak eksperyment Milgrama. Podkreślony został walor wysokiego poziomu trafności ekologicznej badań eksperymentalnych wykonywanych w środowisku rzeczywistości wirtualnej. Praca zwraca uwagę na potencjał, jaki niesie technologia VR jako narzędzie badacza społecznego w różnych kontekstach, jednocześnie podkreślając wyzwania związane z charakterystyką technologii VR oraz jej ograniczeniami, które należy brać pod uwagą przy projektowaniu badania. Przedstawione argumenty podkreślają znaczenie kontynuowania badań nad wykorzystaniem VR w naukach społecznych.

Published: November 2023

Background: Nasal tumours of dogs often pose a diagnostic challenge due to their similar clinical manifestations with other chronic diseases. Therefore, their definitive diagnosis requires use of different diagnostic modalities like radiography, computed tomography and rhinoscopy along with biopsy. The present study evaluates the clinical, rhinoscopic and computed tomographic changes in 20 dogs with intranasal tumours. Methods: Dogs brought with clinical signs suggestive of nasal cavity diseases were screened by radiography and computed tomography of skull followed by rhinoscopy and biopsy of nasal mucosa for diagnosing nasal tumours. Result: The intranasal tumours encountered were- carcinoma, transmissible venereal tumour and haemangioma. Clinical signs, haemato-biochemical, radiographic, computed tomographic and rhinoscopic changes in dogs with intra nasal tumours confirmed through histopathological studies are presented.

Background: The repeated use of conventional insecticides to combat the sucking pests resulted in development of resistance to insecticides. Now, several newer insecticides with their novel mode of action are very effective at lower doses against target pests and safe to natural enemies. Methods: The experiment was conducted during kharif, 2018 in a randomized block design (RBD) with 9 treatments including the untreated control and 3 replications.The observations on population of aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch, leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris) and whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn) were recorded early in the morning from (10 cm terminal shoot) for aphid and from three leaves, viz., one each from top, middle and lower canopy of the plant for leafhopper and whitefly one day before and 1, 3, 7 and 15 days after application of insecticides in both the sprays. Result: Out of eight insectcides evaluated against aphid, leaf hopper and whitefly imidacloprid 0.005 per cent was found most effective followed by thiamethoxam 0.005 per cent and acetamiprid 0.004 per cent in terms of per cent reduction in the population and seed yield. Azadirachtin 1.5 ml/l and malathion 0.05 per cent were least effective against these insect pests. The highest benefit cost ratio of 18.48 was obtained from imidacloprid 0.005 per cent treated plots followed by thiamethoxam 0.005 per cent (17.30), acetamiprid 0.004 per cent (9.73) and dimethote 0.03 per cent (7.42), vis-à vis, lowest (1.62) in the chlorantraniliprole 0.005 per cent treated plots.

O desenvolvimento econômico associado a aspectos como a desigualdade social são processos que provocam a deterioração de recursos ambientais. São emergenciais o aperfeiçoamento das tecnologias para combater os efeitos dos desastres naturais, como a melhoria dos processos de transformação de chuva em vazão e da modelagem dos fenômenos hidrológicos em bacias hidrográficas. O objetivo desta comunicação científica foi obter, com o auxílio de técnicas de machine learning, previsões do comportamento hidrológico na Bacia do Rio Bananal. Essas informações reunidas foram submetidas aos seguintes modelos: redes neurais artificiais de aprendizado profundo (Deep Learning - InceptionTime, Resnet, FCN e ResCNN) e de aprendizado de máquina (Machine Learning - regressão linear, árvore de decisão e support-vector machine), e gradient boosting para levantar séries históricas consistentes e comparar os padrões de precipitação e da vazão (modelo chuva-vazão) do curso hídrico. Foram utilizadas as séries temporais médias diárias de 2002 a 2014 para treinamento a fim de estabelecer um comportamento otimizado para 2015. Foi possível concluir que o coeficiente R² com a melhor performance foi da arquitetura InceptionTime, com RMSE de 4.62, MAE de 2.36. O resultado com amior desempenho foi a árvore de decisão com R2 de 0.73.
