Published: January 2022

Weight Process Method (WPM) is a popular number Criterion Results Analysis (MCDA) / Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. This is the sum of the weights Similar to the model (WSM). The main difference is, In the main mathematical function there is now multiplication instead of addition. MCDM is multifaceted, inconsistent, standard and / or quantitative Consensus on integrating alternative performance into criteria Is a technique for creating a solution that requires feedback. To calculate the weighted product, we will multiply the value of each attribute in every column row-wise. The value with the highest weighted product is given the higher rank. Like all MCDA / MCDM methods, many Described in terms of decision making criteria The result is a finite set of alternatives. For each end The substitute is also multiplied by several ratios and compared with the others, One for each end criterion. Weighted shading mode () like density mode Colors that represent density in each pixel Draw markers using, but optional With weighting integration. To provide the final weighing result How the coordinates weigh in each pixel You can configure which are connected. Multiple criteria for decision making (MCDM) size and Complex decision making (DM) involving quality factors Is considered a tool. In recent years, many MCDM Techniques and approaches optimal feasibility Recommended to select options. In statistics, a weighted median of a sample is the 50% weighted percentile. … Like the median, it is useful as an estimator of central tendency, robust against outliers

In this short story by Božić, the story within a story is represented in the form of a ring structure – the encompassing story is told by the narrator, who is the author, in the form of the author’s „I”, while the inner, central story is told by the character-narrator in the form of free indirect speech and direct speech. These different points of view and different types of speech are expressed by means of different verbal form which correspond to the static descriptive and constative statement (present, perfect or truncated perfect) in narration, or to the expressively actualised experience of reality (aorist) ordinamicially and modally determined directive expression of direct speech expressed via the imperative. In Božović’s story, these expressive verbal forms, both main and their alternatives, are harmonized, in the first place, with regard to the nature and content of focalization.

Distinction in oil palm growth and productivity are caused by the interaction of genotypes and the environment. Therefore, environmental changes, especially climate change, have a negative impact on oil palm growth and production. Climate change that affects oil palm yields in the tropics and sub-tropics consists of two important factors, namely water availability and temperature. The first impact of a period of water deficit is a decrease in gas exchange, during the dry season photosynthesis can be inhibited due to an increase in water pressure deficit which causes stomata to close. The dry season is associated with high temperatures, which causes a decrease in photochemical efficiency temperature, decreased photosynthesis and decreased transpiration. Water deficit affects oil palm male flower production. High temperatures increase photorespiration and dark respiration so that the total biomass production decreases. Oil palm breeding program must be a multidisciplinary effort that involves molecular tools, understanding the response of oil palm cultivation to limiting conditions caused by abiotic.

The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of the Russian state policy on agricultural production and food availability in the context of food security. Using methodological tools, statistical data about production, consumption and prices of food products were processed. In the course of the work, it was determined that the agriculture of Russia shows a fairly high rate of development. The positive aspect is that this growth is provided mainly by intensive factors. The sale prices of agricultural producers show high growth rates, which negatively affects the availability of food for the country's population. In general, Russia's agriculture, under the conditions of the food embargo and economic sanctions, shows good results. It is proposed that the State changes the emphasis from state support from grain and pig farming to growing vegetables, growing fruits, and raising livestock, including milk products. Increasing support to these areas will increase the volume of agricultural production of high value-added goods, which will have a positive impact on the development of rural areas and the diversification of exports. At the same time, state support should be left in the direction of the production of class 1 and 2 cereals and the processing of pork.

Introduction: Hypertension is a major public health problem with a devastating toll on the quality of life and the economic status of families. The prevalence of hypertension among traders in Enugu was 42% as of 2010. This study focused on the prevalence of hypertension among traders in Lagos because there are scarce data on hypertension and its risk factors among traders in Lagos.

Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among a total of 391 traders selected from Tejuosho market, Iponri market and Orile Iganmu market. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and blood pressure was read using a digital sphygmomanometer as well as anthropometric measurements. Data obtained was analyzed using Epi-info 7.2 software. Analysis was done at a 95% confidence interval with P value of < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Associations between categorical variables were assessed using the chi-square test.

Findings: It was found that 30.9% of the traders had high blood pressure. The leading risk factors for high blood pressure among the traders were increasing age and obesity (44.7% of those with high blood pressure were obese) and physical inactivity.

Conclusions: This study showed that more than a quarter of traders in selected Lagos markets had high blood pressure, with majority being shop owners and practising sedentary lifestyles.

Recommendations: Health promotion to be inculcated in the activities of traders such as health talk, empowering market leaders and traders with access to health information, health care advertising, bonuses and enforcement of a health insurance scheme for traders in every market.

Health specialists and counsellors also provide us with knowledge on all of the symptoms and how to avoid them. Because all efforts are focused on researching the epidemiology and physical impacts of the deadly virus, little attention is paid to people's mental health across the globe. Students are robbed of all the benefits and drawbacks of their academic lives as a result of this unforeseen and unknown epidemic. According to the World Health Organization, health is "a condition of full mental, social, and physical well-being." People today, however, are far more concerned about their physical well-being. Academic success and failure are inextricably linked to a student's mental health. In a study conducted by the American College Health Association, mental health issues and their relationship to academic success were discovered. Students who are separated from their educational institutions, classmates, and friends, who are forced to remain at home face lockdown, quarantine, self-isolation, social alienation, loss of freedom, boredom, and uncertainty, might experience severe emotional distress. This stressful environment might cause a student's mental health to deteriorate. As a result, the essay gives a full examination of the Covid-19's effects on students' lives and their mental dissatisfaction.

Kentsel göstergebilim kentlerdeki işaret, sembol ve bunların çağrışımları tarafından üretilen anlamların incelenmesidir. Kentsel göstergeler Kevin Lynch’ın kentsel imgeleri baz alınarak kavramsal bir çerçeveye oturtulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çözümleme yöntemi olarak Saussure’ün dilsel gösterge sınıflandırması ve Lynch’ın kentsel imge bileşenleri kullanılarak eserlerin yapısal göstergeleri incelenmiştir. 6 eser uzman görüşü alınarak seçilmiştir. Bunlar farklı kentlerden seçilmiş erken Rönesans, Modernizm, Postmodernizm ve çağdaş üretimlerdir. Bu çözümlemelerin amacı toplumdaki ideolojik yapıyı, toplumsal dönüşümü, değişen estetik değerleri, sanatçıların kente bakışını sanat eserleri üzerinden göstergebilimsel yöntem kullanarak yeniden okumaktır. Elde edilen bulgularda erken Rönesans döneminde ideal kent ideolojisinin laik, adaletli, ticari yönden gelişmiş zengin medeni ve uyumlu bir kent üzerinden aktarıldığı görülür. Modernizmde ise sanayi ve teknoloji yüceltilir ve estetik değerler değişir. Postmodern dönemde savaşlar ticari çıkarların kentlere olan baskısı sonucu kentlerde yabancılaşma, deformasyon ve tekinsiz ortamların oluştuğu yansıtılır. Çağdaş üretimlerde New York kent örneği üzerinden modern kent ideolojisinin doğadan vazgeçip rant ve kapitale teslim olduğu görülür. Chicago kent ideolojisi medeni, düzenli, sistematik bir imaj yansıtır. Sanatçı üretimleri ya imgeleri olduğu gibi yansıtır ya da bunların gerçekliğini ve kalıcılığını sorgular. Londra kenti ise gelenekçi yapısı, tarihsel geçmişi, modern binaları ve yeşil alanları ile modern ve medeni bir kent imajı vermektedir. Buna karşın kentin ortasına yerleştirilen kamikaze güvercin bu kent dahil bütün kentlerin güvenilirliğini sorgulamaktadır. Bu okumalar kentsel göstergebilime yeniden bakma ideolojik yapı ve anlamı kentler üzerinden çözümleme, kentlerde hangi nesne ve öznelerin daha çok anlam taşıyabileceği üzerine bir inceleme olması bakımından önem arz etmektedir.

Zihin dizgesindeki en soyut eşleşmelerden biri olan kavram, yaşam döngüsü içerisinde kendini görselleşerek var eder. Yeni medya ise görseli temsil eden sosyal ve kültürel klişelerle birlikte kavramların bir anda gündeme gelerek doğup, büyüdüğü ve öldüğü bir mecradır. Çağdaş yeni medya ortamında fenomenolojik bir yaklaşımdan ortaya çıkan şeyler aracılığıyla, günümüzde izleyicinin dikkatini çekmede salt görsellik yeterli değildir. Özellikle tasarımcıların, yeni medya ortamlarını kullanarak farklı anlatı yolları ve kanallar bulması gereklidir. İşte tam bu noktada Henry Jenkins tarafından farklı bakış açıları geliştirilerek yeni bir anlam bulan transmedya kavramının önemi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Transmedya, grafik dilin olanakları dahilinde oyun tasarımı ve illüstrasyonlarda hem görsel hem süreç temelli bir çevre anlayışı sağlayarak bu çalışmada periferi kavramı üzerinden bir araştırma yapılmasına olanak tanımıştır.

Nitekim bu çalışma transmedya evrenleri içerisindeki tasarım odaklı düşünce yapısını ortaya koyması nedeniyle de önemlidir. Bilhassa Türkiye’de yeni medya ortamlarının çok gelişmiş olması transmedya kavramının zamanla popüler kültür olgusu olarak okunmasına yol açmaktadır. Küresel boyutta da durum Türkiye örneğinden farklı değildir. Dolayısıyla çalışma konusu, tasarım bağlamında gerek yerel gerekse ulusal gözlemleri barındırdığı için bu araştırma makalesi şu soruyu cevaplamayı amaçlamaktadır: Tasarım odaklı transmedya nasıl gerçekleştirilebilir? Bu sorunun cevaplanabilmesi için çalışmada uluslararası örnek olarak Walt Disney’in yarattığı Mickey Mouse karakteri, ulusal örnek olarak da TRT Çocuk kanalı tarafından yayınlanan Maysa ve Bulut animasyonu üzerinden analiz ve incelemelerle araştırma sonuçlandırılmıştır.

- Les corticoïdes dans la PR possèdent un effet structural favorable; ce bénéfice est maintenu même s’ils sont prescrits au long terme ; - Les posologies supérieures d’acide folique (> 10mg/semaine) n’induisent pas, contrairement à ce que l’on pensait, de réduction supplémentaire de l’efficacité du méthotrexate et n’améliorent pas la tolérance ; - L’espacement des anti-TNF alpha semble être une stratégie qui ne s’accompagne pas d’une perte d’efficacité, et avec un bénéfice important quant au coût du traitement par anti-TNF ; - La toxicité des antituberculeux donnés en prophylaxie avant d’instaurer une biothérapie est significativement majorée par la coprescription des DMARDs et surtout les AINS; le praticien doit surveiller voire arrêter les AINS durant la période de prise des antituberculeux ; - L’amélioration de l’activité de la PR à 6 mois était comparable entre le tocilizumab et l’abatacept, prescrits en cas d’échec aux anti-TNF ; - Le baricitinib, inhibiteur du JAK1/JAK2, semble associé à une amélioration clinique rapide et prolongée de la PR, et à une freination de l’évolution radiographique, avec un bon profil de tolérance ; - Le SB5, biosimilaire potentiel de l’humira, a démontré une biosimilitude en termes de cinétique et de tolérance. - Les anti-TNF ne semblent pas s’accompagner d’un sur-risque tératogène ou infectieux lorsqu’ils ont été utilisés au moment de la conception.

An indicator of the health of the human body in the state of the oral mucosa. Mechanical and chemical factors constantly influence it. At the first stage of the study, a comparative analysis of the frequency of various forms of traumatic injuries of the oral mucosa was carried out. The distribution of patients into groups was also carried out, depending on the medicinal product used. Then clinical examinations were carried out. After that, the therapy of traumatic erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa began. The developed method for treating traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa with medicine based on phytoecdysteroids provides for the elimination of the traumatic factor, applying ointment based on phytoecdysteroids to the dried out focus twice a day. The use of phyto-ointment leads to complete repair of traumatic erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa on average by the eighth day from the start of treatment; a similar effect with the use of "Solcoseryl dental adhesive paste" is achieved by the tenth day, and the gel "Cholisal Dental" - at a later date, which is confirmed in this study. The most significant positive effect on the level of quality of life associated with the effectiveness of treatment of traumatic erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa in comparison with the dental “Solcoseryl dental adhesive paste” and the gel “Cholisal Dental” is exerted by phyto-ointment, where a decrease in the total points was recorded. When conducting routine examinations of patients, it is necessary to pay attention to the oral mucosa damage. Moreover, in treating traumatic injuries of the oral mucosa, it is recommended to use phytoointment, which contains phytoecdysteroids.

The effects of applied stress, ranging from tensile to compressive, on the atmospheric pitting corrosion behavior of 304L stainless steel (SS304L) were analyzed through accelerated atmospheric laboratory exposures and microelectrochemical cell analysis. After exposing the lateral surface of a SS304L four-point bend specimen to artificial seawater at 50°C and 35% relative humidity for 50 d, pitting characteristics were determined using optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy. The SS304L microstructure was analyzed using electron backscatter diffraction. Additionally, localized electrochemical measurements were performed on a similar, unexposed, SS304L four-point bend bar to determine the effects of applied stress on corrosion susceptibility. Under the applied loads and the environment tested, the observed pitting characteristics showed no correlation with the applied stress (from 250 MPa to −250 MPa). Pitting depth, surface area, roundness, and distribution were found to be independent of location on the sample or applied stress. The lack of correlation between pitting statistics and applied stress was more likely due to the aggressive exposure environment, with a sea salt loading of 4 g/m2 chloride. The pitting characteristics observed were instead governed by the available cathode current and salt distribution, which are a function of sea salt loading, as well as pre-existing underlying microstructure. In microelectrochemical cell experiments performed in Cl− environments comparable to the atmospheric exposure and in environments containing orders of magnitude lower Cl− concentrations, effects of the applied stress on corrosion susceptibility were only apparent in open-circuit potential in low Cl− concentration solutions. Cl− concentration governed the current density and transpassive dissolution potential.
