Authors: Çavuş Birol , Akkaya Oy Sibel
Published: February 2024

Bu çalışma insan hareketliliğinin fazla olduğu yerlerde, düşük güçlü uygulamalar için zemine yerleştirilen piezoelektrik seramik dönüştürücülere dayalı deneysel bir enerji hasat sistemini tanıtmaktadır. Yalnızca bir PZT’nin üretebildiği gerilim tek başına bir sisteme enerji verebilecek seviyede değildir. Bu yüzden PZT’ler hasat edilen gücü en üst seviyeye çıkarabilecek uygun devre topolojisiyle seri ve paralel bağlanarak elde edilecek toplam güç arttırılmıştır. Deneysel çalışmada 20 × 30 cm’lik ahşap bir zeminin her bir kısa kenarına 5 adet PZT yerleştirilmiş, toplamda 10 adet PZT’den 10 adet gerilim ikileyici ile enerji hasadı yapılmıştır. Dört farklı ağırlıkta birey üç farklı yürüme hızında bir dakika boyunca deney düzeneğine basmış ve tüm sonuçlar grafiksel olarak elde edilmiştir. Yük olarak 220 KΩ direnç kullanılmıştır. Deney düzeneği 48 kg ağırlığındaki bireyle test edildiğinde maksimum 23,42 μW (2,27 volt), 58 kg ağırlığında 13,13 μW (1,70 volt), 71 kg ağırlığında 59,56 μW (3,62 volt), 85 kg ağırlığında 55,68 μW (3,50 volt) gerilim hasat edilmiştir. Deneysel sonuçlar aynı bireyin yürüme hızı arttıkça elde edilecek ortalama gerilimin yükseldiğini, ayrıca aynı yürüme hızlarındaki bireylerden ağır olanın daha fazla enerji hasat edilmesini sağladığını göstermiştir.

Reconfiguration of Citizenship Beyond State Boundaries in Rojava
Authors: Ramsari Atefeh
Published: February 2024

This paper seeks to investigate different modes of practicing citizenship in two political settings. One, in which an ethno-national state sets boundaries of membership and excludes some groups accordingly. The other, a democratic confederal system where neither state nor ethnic boundaries play a role in the configuration of citizenship. This empirical study looks at the individual perceptions and experiences of membership by stateless persons living in Rojava before and after the establishment of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. The stateless Kurds in the north of Syria, in the time of the Ba’ath government, had limited access to resources and their social life was restricted. When northern Syria (‘Rojava’) went through fundamental institution-building to implement democratic self-administration and confederalism, the conceptualisation of citizenship changed within the context of reclaiming power from the State. This is understood as a transformation from people as state objects into active actors. My discussion here focuses on how the stateless groups develop a sense of belonging, reposition the political demands and arrange social engagement horizontally. An important issue emerging from the findings is that daily membership experiences are remarkably associated with active voluntary participation in the organisation of the community. In the self-organising system, regardless of the precarious legal status the persons are holding, citizenship content and consequences in daily life are more inclusionary and egalitarian.

Understanding COVID-19’s Impact on the United States’ Stateless Population
Authors: Walters Ashley , Painter Taryn , Meyers Heidi
Published: February 2024

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared by the World Health Organisation (‘WHO’) as a global pandemic. Since the WHO’s declaration, it has become increasingly clear that the most vulnerable communities have experienced the brunt of the pandemic. Though race, ethnicity and economic status are considered in a majority of reports on the social, physical and financial impacts of COVID-19, there is little to no information on the impact of COVID-19 on stateless communities within the United States (‘US’). This research endeavours to add to the understanding of statelessness in the US by determining the impacts of COVID-19 on stateless people in the US through a survey scoping project. Through anonymous questionnaires completed by stateless individuals (n=19) in the United States, this study explores how stateless individuals have been impacted by the pandemic, including experiencing economic hardships, mental health challenges, physical health concerns and issues with documentation and legal status.

Enhancing responsivity and detection limit in tunable nano-electromechanical system resonator mass sensors
Authors: Yu Wei , Banerjee Amit , Hirotani Jun , Tsuchiya Toshiyuki
Published: February 2024

This research explores the enhancement of the resonator-based mass-sensor sensing performance through tunable nanomechanical resonators, focusing on ways to improve and control the responsivity and detection limit during the operational stage. Two different tuning mechanisms are studied, namely electrostatic tuning induced by gate voltage and tuning by temperature change. The results indicate that tuning the resonance frequency and nonlinearity by gate voltage in ultrathin resonators significantly improves the sensor’s responsivity (up to

∼

20 times) and detection limit (from the scale of zeptograms to yoctograms). The impact of temperature changes on these parameters reveals an alternative method for tuning the sensing performance. While both tuning methods effectively enhance the sensing capabilities, electrostatic tuning exhibits a more pronounced impact, with the extent of improvement significantly influenced by the resonator’s dimensions. This work proposes a practical approach to real-time optimization of resonator mass sensors, with promising applications in fields like environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics.
Review of solid-state proton devices for neuromorphic information processing
Authors: Pati Satya Prakash , Yajima Takeaki
Published: February 2024

This is a review of proton devices for neuromorphic information processing. While solid-state devices utilizing various ions have been widely studied for non-volatile memory, the proton, which is the smallest ion, has been relatively overlooked despite its advantage of being able to move through various solids at RT. With this advantage, it should be possible to control proton kinetics not only for fast analog memory function, but also for real-time neuromorphic information processing in the same time scale as humans. Here, after briefing the neuromorphic concept and the basic proton behavior in solid-state devices, we review the proton devices that have been reported so far, classifying them according to their device structures. The benchmark clearly shows the time scales of proton relaxation ranges from several milliseconds to hundreds of seconds, and completely match the time scales for expected neuromorphic functions. The incorporation of proton degrees of freedom in electronic devices will also facilitate access to electrochemical phenomena and subsequent phase transitions, showing great promise for neuromorphic information processing in the real-time and highly interactive edge devices.
Quantitative Research Methods for Sub-dialect Division of Jeollanam-do: Using Levenshtein Distance and Phonological Network Analysis
Authors:   Urimal Society, Jung Sunghoon
Published: February 2024

The purpose of our study is to divide the sub-dialects of Jeollanam-do using Levenshtein distance and network analysis. For the first time, we measured the Levenshtein distance on Korean dialect data, and constructed a phonological network which is based on this. Then, clustering analysis was performed to divide the sub-dialects of Jeollanam-do and compared them with the dialect division of Lee Ki-gap(1984, 1986). Through the Levenshtein distance measurement, the closest regions in Jeollanam-do were Yeong-am gunseo and Yeong-am Sijong, Yeong-am gunseo and Yeong-am Haksan, Yeong-am Sijong and Yeong-am Haksan, Wando Wansdo-eup and Wando Gogeum regions. But the farthest regions were Gwang-yang Jinwol and Jindo Imhui, Gwang-yang Jinwol and Jindo Jodo area. This distance was converted into network weights to construct a phonological network in Jeollanam-do. On the phonological network in the sub-dialect of Jeollanam-do, we measured the degree strength centrality, closeness centrality and betweenness centrality. The west of Jeollanam-do tended to be higher in terms of centrality, and the core area of sub-dialect division were judged to be Hampyeong and Yeong-am, and the most heterogeneous sub-dialect was Gwang-yang Jinwol. As a result of clustering analysis on the sub-dialects of Jeollanam-do, the sub-dialects of Jeollanam-do are largely divided into the east and the west, and the east was again divided into two areas, and the west was also divided into two areas. Interestingly, Boseong Ungchi is a unique sub-dialect region in the west, and appears to be a transitional area between the east and the west. This study will be meaningful in that it is the first study that uses Korean dialect phonological data and divide sub-dialects using a quantitative method-Levenshtein distance and network analysis.

Published: February 2024

This work aims at optimizing the converter design of the double-T MMC
DC-DC converter in terms of transmitted power per submodule and also in
terms of transmitted power per silicon area, while, at the same time,
providing the capability to block dc faults. Firstly, the converter
operation is described and the optimal values of the inner ac and dc
voltages that minimize device power rating are derived. Next, the
submodule topology is analyzed and a thorough study on the converter
capability for blocking fault currents is carried out, showing that the
converter is able to isolate dc faults both at the input and at the
output of the converter. Finally, the previous analytical study is
verified by means of detailed PSCAD simulations.

UMA REVISÃO SOBRE A RELAÇÃO DO VÍRUS DA COVID-19 COM PERDA DO OLFATO
Authors: Lima filho Antonio Carlos de , Menezes Pedro de Lemos
Published: February 2024

O artigo discute a relação entre a COVID-19 e os distúrbios olfativos, destacando os mecanismos fisiopatológicos subjacentes a essa associação. O SARS-CoV-2, vírus responsável pela COVID-19, tem em sua estrutura a proteína de espícula, que se liga ao receptor ACE2 nas células hospedeiras, facilitando a entrada do vírus. Comparado ao SARS-CoV original, o SARS-CoV-2 possui maior afinidade com o receptor ACE2, devido a alterações em hotspots virais específicos. No sistema olfatório humano, as moléculas odoríferas são detectadas pelos neurônios receptores olfativos (ORN) no epitélio nasal, com a contribuição de células não neuronais, como células sustentaculares e de Bowman. Estudos recentes associaram a perda do olfato à COVID-19, com evidências de que o vírus pode afetar o epitélio olfatório, levando à anosmia e hiposmia. A pesquisa revisou 657 artigos, dos quais 18 foram incluídos na análise. A maioria dos estudos foi realizada na Europa e na Ásia, abordando desde o mecanismo de entrada do vírus até os mecanismos fisiopatológicos associados à anosmia. O dano ao epitélio olfatório parece ser o principal mecanismo por trás dos distúrbios olfativos causados pela COVID-19, com uma preferência do vírus por células não neuronais. Fatores epidemiológicos, como idade e estilo de vida, também influenciam a prevalência dos distúrbios olfativos, com estudos sugerindo uma correlação entre a expressão do receptor ACE2 e a idade, além de uma maior probabilidade de desenvolver distúrbios olfativos em fumantes e mulheres. As mutações genéticas do SARS-CoV-2 também contribuem para diferentes prevalências de anosmia, com a variante G614 associada a uma maior incidência de anosmia e a uma maior transmissibilidade. Em conclusão, a COVID-19 pode desencadear distúrbios olfativos devido ao dano ao epitélio olfatório, com uma preferência por afetar células não neuronais. A compreensão desses mecanismos é crucial para o desenvolvimento de estratégias terapêuticas e preventivas.

This activity is a motivation for the government to pay attention to transportation facilities and educational infrastructure for local communities. It is hoped that the provision of assistance in the form of reading books and stationery equipment by the community service team can also increase the activities of school children at Rumah Ajare.
Sanções econômicas e as criptomoedas no conflito russo-ucraniano
Authors: De Holanda Igor
Published: February 2024

O embate russo-ucraniano está na ordem do dia. E um dos aspectos mais emblemáticos é o uso de criptomoedas em tal contexto, notadamente em face das sanções econômicas internacionais e de sua efetividade. Assim, o presente estudo, calcado em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, tem por objetivo apresentar os conceitos e informações necessários para entender o que são criptomoedas, sanções econômicas e interrelacioná-los diante do quadro fático desenhado atualmente. Em razão da extensão e do grau de rigor das sanções econômicas até aqui impostas à economia russa, já é possível notar que estão a lhe causar danos. Porém não se sabe ainda ao certo o seu real impacto, haja vista existirem outros fatores que incidem no atual contexto. Parte da doutrina pesquisada posiciona-se no sentido de que as sanções econômicas não são tão efetivas, e a utilização de criptomoedas pode acarretar num decréscimo da já combalida efetividade. Na literatura consultada são descritas estratégias em que as criptomoedas são utilizadas para contornar sanções econômicas. Tendo-as como parâmetro, é possível identificar indícios de aplicação de, ao menos, três delas pela Rússia ou por russos: com destaque para a mineração de criptomoedas e para incentivos à ampliação de seu uso por investidores e pela população.
Collapsing system: economy-oriented neoliberalism and environmental crisis
Authors: Pimenta Starling Bruno
Published: February 2024

In this article, we demonstrate how the contemporary international system has collapsed due to its institutions inability to respond to both economic and environmental crises. We argue that guided by economic and individualistic principles, matured during the 1980s according to economy-oriented neoliberalism paradigm, institutions were unable to implement policies and actions that would meet real social demands and environmental limits. Institutional mentality of the organizations at domestic and international level is based on the neoliberal paradigm, and proved to be obsolete and counterproductive in combating the current crises. One of the main characteristics of this inability to respond institutionally is environmental degradation, whose growth is mainly due to the primacy of economic growth over the social and environmental dimensions.

Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study aimed to examine the influence of financial flexibility on the firm value of listed non-financial corporations at the NSE in Kenya from the period 2011 to 2019. Specifically, this study examined the influence of cash holdings; debt capacity; and financing cost restrictions on firms’ value of listed non-financial companies quoted at the NSE. The study further examined the moderating role played by firm size in the association between financial flexibility and firm value of non-finance companies quoted at the NSE in Kenya. The study was underpinned by the free cash flow theory, the trade-off theory and the pecking-order theory. The study adopted a descriptive longitudinal research design and focussed on all the 37 non-financial listed at the NSE as of December 31, 2020. However, firms that were financially distressed as of the time of data collection did not form part of the study. As a result, only 31 firms with 272 firm-year observations formed part of the study. The study utilized panel data that was analysed using panel multiple regression analysis and aided by the STATA statistical package. To ensure the non-violation of statistical assumption and to allow for remedial action when a violation occurred, diagnostic tests were carried out. Hausman specification test results favoured the use of the random-effects model.

The formation of an open, democratic, progressive and modern school is the pursuit of the entire educational community. In this paper, the opinions of prospective teachers are being explored on how they envision the school in which they wish to work. From their answers, it can be concluded that their main concern is the formation of a space with perfect infrastructure, equipment, and staffing. In addition, a school that will plan and implement innovative actions and programs will aim on the one hand at the all-around development of each student's personality and on the other hand at creating good working conditions for all teachers. In such an environment, which will be characterized by good interpersonal relations, respect and mutual understanding, the moral values and ideals that should accompany the citizens of a society could be cultivated.

The use of herbicides in forests is important for enhancing tree growth and forest productivity. By effectively controlling competing vegetation, herbicides facilitate the survival and healthy development of young trees. They also play a key role in efficient forest management, contributing to the sustainability and economic viability of forestry practices. This effective vegetation management is crucial for meeting global demands for wood and forest products. This comprehensive review critically examines the dualistic nature of herbicide use in forestry, exploring both its environmental benefits and risks. The paper delves into the historical evolution of herbicide technology in forest management, highlighting its significant role in enhancing tree growth and wood volume yields. With a focus on long-term studies it is analysis the efficacy of herbicides in improving forest productivity and their compatibility with environmental sustainability. The review also addresses the contentious debate surrounding herbicide use, particularly its perceived threats to biodiversity conservation and wildlife management. Additionally, we explore alternative vegetation management strategies, including biological control methods like Mycoherbicides, and discuss emerging trends in sustainable forest management. The paper aims to provide a balanced understanding of the interplay between economic benefits and ecological imperatives in modern forestry, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach to herbicide use. Through this exploration, the review contributes to the discourse on harmonizing forest management practices with environmental stewardship.

Background: Molecular pathogenesis of CRC represents a major target for understanding and controlling of the disease in the Sudan. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the clinicopathological pattern of CRC in the Sudan with specific emphases in the role KRAS and P53 genes mutations. Methodology: This study was carried out in El-Obeid, North Kordofan state, Sudan, using CRC samples from patients who presented to the Al-Obeid teaching hospital between 2017 and 2022 and had a biopsy for histopathological diagnosis. This series featured everyone who has CRC. Results: The most prevalent CRC subtype is adenocarcinoma, which is followed by mucinous adenocarcinoma and metastatic adenocarcinoma, which constitute 74%, 20%, and 6%, respectively. KRAS mutation was found in 40% patients 48% males and 33.3% females). P53 mutation was found in 46% individuals 43.5% men and 48% females. Positive correlations between KRAS and P53 were found in 26% cases, while negative correlations were found in 40% cases. Conclusion: Many CRC patients in Sudan present at advanced stages of the illness and at a younger age, necessitating early screening measures. CRC patients have been discovered to have KRAS, P53, or both mutations. As a result, precise preventative and therapeutic methods are considered essential.

Hepatic abscess is a suppurative collection developed in a neoformed hepatic cavity as a result of the invasion and multiplication of micro-organisms. The prognosis depends on early diagnosis and rapid treatment. The aim of the study was to determine the clinical, biological, ultrasound and therapeutic characteristics of liver abscesses in children aged between 1 month and 15 years hospitalised in the Paediatrics Ward of the District Hospital in Commune V, Bamako. This was a retrospective descriptive study which took place from January 2017 to December 2020, i.e. a period of 4 years, and a prospective study from January 2019 to December 2020, including all children aged between 1 and 15 years in whom the diagnosis of liver abscess had been confirmed by liver ultrasound. Out of 2756 children hospitalised during the study period from January 2017 to December 2020, i.e. a période of 4 years, 12 patients were diagnosed with liver abscess, i.e. a frequency of 0.43% or 4 cases/1000 admissions, with a female predominance of 58.3%, i.e. a sex ratio of 0.7. The mean age was 57 ± 34 months, with extremes of 16 and 120 months. The main reason for consultation was abdominal pain associated with fever, accounting for 75% of patients. Pus culture was positive for Staphylococcus Aureus in one patient (8%). Amebic serology was positive in 33% of patients. Ultrasound revealed a predominance of single abscesses located in the right lobe of the liver in 42% of patients. However, 92% of patients were cured, with an average hospital stay of 12 days, ranging from 2 to 19 days. Liver abscesses uncommon in our context, an early diagnosis and management can improve the prognosis.
Over-Denture Attachment Systems: Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis
Authors: Almutairi Huda Abdullah Saad
Published: February 2024

Current scientific growths for implant over-denture attachments. We focused on the following topics: attachment systems, retention of various attachments, stress distribution with different attachments, the design and fabrication of attachments, digital techniques in over denture attachments, and the effects of attachments in two-implant health. We found that plastic resin is commonly used for ball and bar attachments, whereas nylon resin is commonly used in locator attachments. The locator system offers a valuable attachment option for implant-retained over denture. Attachment retention reduces while lateral force increases with implant inclination in over denture. The higher the retention of an over-denture attachment, the higher the transferred stresses. Additionally, clip loading produces more stress in implants and precision elements than bar-retained dentures.
La naturaleza de la mentira
Authors: Navarro Jesús
Published: February 2024

Ante la imposibilidad de alcanzar un análisis reductivo del concepto de mentira, Tobies Grimaltos y Sergi Rosell han propuesto una concepción basada en sus condiciones paradigmáticas, entre las que destaca la de engañar al oyente. La relación entre la mentira y el engaño sería, si bien fundamental para entender los casos prototípicos del concepto, meramente contingente —una tesis que tiene importantes implicaciones para su valoración moral—. Presento aquí su propuesta y avanzo tres objeciones a la misma: primero, que la teoría de la mentira debería de construirse sobre una teoría de la aserción, que ya de por sí delimita lo propiamente dicho en los usos parasitarios del lenguaje (como la metáfora o la ironía). Segundo, que es preciso distinguir los usos de la mentira de sus aspectos constitutivos, entre los cuales destaca la intención de mentir, y no la de engañar. Y tercero, que un modelo paradigmático de la mentira debería de asumir una condición epistémica, y no meramente doxástica, según la cual mentir es, paradigmáticamente, decir algo que uno sabe falso.
