Introduction. Volunteering in the field of medical activity, due to its high intensity, high demand and irregular schedule, has a negative impact on the mental health of specialists and contributes to professional burnout. The study of social attitudes of interpersonal interaction of volunteers in the context of professionally oriented volunteer activities allows us to identify not only their psychological readiness to implement certain professionally significant tasks in various situations, but also to establish their factorial role in influencing and overcoming professional burnout. Materials and methods. Medical students (N=70) aged 19 to 23 years who have been involved in professionally oriented volunteer work in the healthcare sector for 5 years volunteered to participate in the study. Standardized methods for diagnosing professional burnout, emotional intelligence, socio-psychological attitudes of the personality, coping strategies, styles of self-regulation of behavior, as well as mathematical and statistical methods of data processing (descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis) were applied. The results obtained were processed using the computer program "Statistica 11.0". Results and discussion. It was revealed that medical volunteers are able to manage their emotions, demonstrate and maintain desired emotions, but in certain circumstances the control of external manifestations of their own emotional states is low. The predominant social attitudes of interpersonal interaction are the orientation towards the process -result and the altruistic orientation, the readiness to be included in the activity and the freedom of its choice, as well as the autonomous style of self-regulation of behavior. The main factors in the occurrence of professional burnout and its structural elements in medical volunteers include: expression control (β=0,44; p=0,0002), distancing (β=0,36; p=0,022), orientation for labor (β=0,49; p=0,0021), money (β=0,44; p=0,0011), process (β=0,41; p=0,0011) and freedom (β=0,42; p=0,012), as well as self-control of behavior (β=0,27; p=0,023) and the search for social support (β=0,32; p=0,025). The factors for overcoming professional burnout are such styles of self-regulation of behavior as planning (β=-0,32; p=0,020), modeling (β=-0,31; p=0,046) and evaluation of the result (β=-0,28; p=0,016), as well as emotional intelligence represented by the ability to control other people's emotions (β=-0,31; p=0,013).

The problem and the purpose. The formation of demanded professional competencies in the training of cultural workers involves the use of various didactic technologies, including game services and platforms. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the use of a web-quest as a game technology when training future cultural specialists to develop their communicative competence. Research methods. The methodology is based on the analysis of the potential of web-quest technology for higher education, support for UNESCO initiatives and public policy. When developing a series of problems the socio-cultural space of the quest takes into account the requirements of the digital society, the possibilities of software resources in accordance with the profession specifics and the needs of the students themselves. The platform Joyteka.com is used, which allows the user to create web-quests, quizzes, tests. 58 students of the Vyatka State University are involved (Russian Federation). Web-quests are included in the disciplines "Modern Information Technologies", "The Russian Language and Culture of Speech", "History of Culture", "History of the Vyatka Region", in individual practice tasks. The authors used the method of assessing communication and organizational tendencies. The bases for practice: museums of the city and region, houses of culture, exhibition centers. Statistical data processing was performed by means of Pearson's χ2 (chi-square) test. Results. The development and application of web-quests in the experimental group was carried out in the following stages: analysis of the community demand, the possibilities of software resources in accordance with the profession specifics and socio-cultural activities; the use of digital service; thinking over the plot component and routes of movement of participants; drawing up a plan of dialogues between characters, etc. Statistically significant differences were revealed in the qualitative changes that occurred in the pedagogical system (χ2 = 10.693; p < 0.05). Conclusion presents deductions about the features of applying the web-quest to develop the communicative competence: the necessity to search for information for the plot and the place of implementation of the webquest; designation of characters and dialogues between them; the study of interactive features of the service; the compilation of texts for cards with tasks; the choice of musical accompaniment, etc. The difficulties of the proposed innovations are formulated: the creative nature of the activity when designing the sociocultural plot and the content of the game space; dependence on software in cultural institutions; technical failures of equipment; difficulties in forming and functioning of teams.

A Feasible MPPT Algorithm for the DC/DC Boost Converter
Authors: Thanh Pham Hong , Van Dai Le
Published: July 2023

One of the most promising forms of renewable energy is solar energy. However, efficient exploitation of this energy form is a topic of great interest, especially in obtaining the maximum amount of power from the solar photovoltaic (PV) system under changing environmental conditions. To solve this problem, it is necessary to propose an optimal algorithm. Therefore, this paper presents a feasible maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for DC/DC boost converters applied in load-connected stand-alone PV systems to extract the maximum available power. This proposed method is based on the combination of the modified perturb and observe (P&O) and fractional open circuit voltage (FOCV) algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is verified via time-domain simulation of the load-connected stand-alone PV system using PSIM software. The simulation results show a tracking efficiency with an average value of 99.85%, 99.87%, and 99.96% for tracking the MPP under varying loads, irradiation, and simultaneously varying temperature, load, and irradiation, respectively. In addition, tracking time is always stable at 0.02 sec for changing weather conditions in the large range. Therefore, the results of the proposed method indicate advantages compared to the conventional method.
Gradient-adaptive Nonlinear Sharpening for Dental Radiographs
Authors: T Joy Manoj , Priestly Shan B , Titus Geevarghese
Published: July 2023

Unsharp Masking is a popular image processing technique used for improving the sharpness of structures on dental radiographs. However, it produces overshoot artefact and intolerably amplifies noise. On radiographs, the overshoot artefact often resembles the indications of prosthesis misfit, pathosis, and pathological features associated with restorations. A noise- robust alternative to the Unsharp Masking algorithm, termed Gradient-adaptive Nonlinear Sharpening (GNS) which is free from overshoot and discontinuity artefacts, is proposed in this paper. In GNS, the product of the arbitrary scalar termed as ‘scale’ and the difference between the output of the Adaptive Edge Smoothing Filter (AESF) and the input image, weighted by the normalized gradient magnitude is added to the input image. AESF is a locally-adaptive 2D Gaussian smoothing kernel whose variance is directly proportional to the local value of the gradient magnitude. The dataset employed in this paper is downloaded from the Mendeley data repository having annotated panoramic dental radiographs of 116 patients. On 116 dental radiographs, the values of Saturation Evaluation Index (SEI), Sharpness of Ridges (SOR), Edge Model Based Contrast Metric (EMBCM), and Visual Information Fidelity (VIF) exhibited by the Unsharp Masking are 0.0048 ± 0.0021, 4.4 × 1013 ± 3.8 × 1013, 0.2634 ± 0.2732 and 0.9898 ± 0.0122. The values of these quality metrics corresponding to the GNS are 0.0042 ± 0.0017, 2.2 × 1013 ± 1.8 × 1013, 0.5224 ± 0.1825, and 1.0094 ± 0.0094. GNS exhibited lower values of SEI and SOR and higher values of EMBCM and VIF, compared to the Unsharp Masking. Lower values of SEI and SOR, respectively indicate that GNS is free from overshoot artefact and saturation and the quality of edges in the output images of GNS is less affected by noise. Higher values of EMBCM and VIF, respectively confirm that GNS is free from haloes as it produces thin and sharp edges and the sharpened images are of good information fidelity.

Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to explore whether educated Arabs prefer to read paper or digital materials and which reading technologies and applications they use. The sample consisted of 272 educated Arabs (81% males and 19% females) who are Twitter users, who gave 437 responses to questions, hashtags and threads asking, “which digital media and digital devices do you use for reading, why, the advantages and disadvantages of digital reading vs reading from paper material”. Data analysis showed that 71.5% of educated Arabs in the sample read traditional printed books and 28.5% read digitally and use digital reading technologies as follows: 15% listen to audiobooks, 6.5% use Kindle, and 7% use e-Ink, Audible, Storytel, Feedly, text-to-speech software (Read Aloud, Natural Reader Pro and Kurzweil 1000), Instapaper, Evernote, Raindrop, Pocket, Siri, eBooks, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Tarteel, Wajeez, Sibawayh Reader, and Screen Readers  such as JAWS, Window Eyes, VoiceOver, Thunder,  and HAL by blind students. Digital readers in this study use smart phones, iPads, tablets, and computer screens and are familiar with digital document formats such as Pdf, Epub, Mobi, IPA and AZW. The percentage of educated Arabs who use digital reading and reading technologies and apps is small, taking into consideration that many Arab people have access to the Internet and have a smart phone, a desktop or laptop computer and should be able to access a plethora of reading apps, digital resources, and reading technologies. It seems that many educated Arabs are not familiar with digital reading, eBooks, e-libraries, online reading resources, reading technologies and applications. Digital readers gave some explanations for their preferences and how they use digital media reading, when and where. Some recommendations for familiarizing children, students and the public with digital reading and reading technologies are given.
Research on the Construction of Ecological Museum and the Active Participation of Community Masses: A Case Study of Yim Tin Tsai Village in Hong Kong
Authors: Liu Ruixi
Published: July 2023

The construction of ecological museums under the guidance of the new museum theory has been widely used in the protection and utilization of traditional villages, historical blocks, industrial heritage, etc., in China. The concept of new museum science has become a new practice and thinking in building eco-cultural towns and eco-cultural communities (Pan, 2018). The construction concept of the Ecological Museum of Yim Tin Tsai Village Village in Hong Kong is a theoretical attempt to study and solve the long-term development of Yim Tin Tsai Village. This article mainly demonstrates the community mass active participation mode that Yim Tin Tsai Village faces in the construction of the ecological museum. Through data analysis, examples and other methods, and by desktop deduction and research, we will carry out practical analysis to improve the active participation of community people in community management mode and plan to realize the role of community people in actively participating in the construction and management of ecological museums, realize the new idea of overall ecological conservation, and let local people's participation and community governance interact and work together. At the same time, most of the current domestic research on community creation is focused on mainland villages, and few researchers have focused on villages in Hong Kong. Yim Tin Tsai Village in Hong Kong as an excellent representative of new rural tourism development has formed a relatively mature model of community participation in the construction of the eco-museum, and the need for research has thus emerged.
Investigating the structural changes of glycosaminoglycan polysaccharides in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Authors:   , Camp John
Published: July 2023

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the DMD gene which leads to progressive muscle degeneration and ultimately death. The Dystrophin protein that is non-functioning within this disorder is a main component of the Dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) that stabilizes the plasma membrane of muscle cells. The DGC is maintained by proteoglycans, which are comprised of linear glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) attached to a protein core. Proteoglycans and their associated GAG chains have been found to play an important role in regulating the development and regeneration of muscle cells. However, no comprehensive profiling of the change in structure and expression of all GAGs in DMD pathology has been carried out. Here we show that the GAG chondroitin sulfate (CS) is elevated in dystrophic mouse tissues, and that the 4-O-sulfated species of CS is also elevated. We also show for the first-time that in DMD muscles, there are elevated levels of both total heparan sulfate (HS) and the 6-O-sulfated HS species. These are important mechanisms to understand as they may pertain to DMD specific disease biology and thus could aid in the development of novel therapeutics for the disorder.

The Magic Circle: Visually Representing the Woman of Endor (ovot)
Authors: Korb Elisa
Published: July 2023

The interaction between Saul and the woman of Endor is a minor episode, not only within the first book of Samuel, but in the Tanakh as a whole. The woman, whose actions drive the narrative, is not named nor is very much known about her. All that the text reveals are her gender, domicile location, familiarity with the law (Saul’s ban on ovot and yid’onim), and culinary possessions (flour and a calf). Through linguistic connotation her age range is surmisable: she is neither maiden nor elderly. Of her specific abilities, little is actually known as it is totally unclear what she did exactly that caused connection between the living Saul and deceased Samuel. Yet this woman, and the language used that describes her in a few verses without substantive information, have singularly driven wildly polarizing visual representations of the female thaumaturge for centuries. The artistically rendered visage of the Endoran ranges from the crone of gothic nightmares to hypersexual femme fatale, to gregarious earth mother, to occult adept perfecting her craft. Despite her shifting guise, one aspect remains consistent throughout the majority of images: the visual translation (or mistranslation) of ovot.
Theoretical knowledge to eliminate terminological difficulties in the library science
Authors: Poltavskaya E. I.
Published: July 2023

In his several recent articles, Yury N. Stolyarov has formulated strategic tasks for the library science, in particular, to update urgently the definition of “the library” in official documents with the focus on library activities as a social good. In this connection, the author argues that theoretical knowledge has to be developed in librarianship to develop essentially unambiguous terminology. The system approach proves to be efficient for formulating key concepts in the library science. This approach eliminates mistakes when determining the integrity of elements making the system essence of the object under study. “The library” is a key c oncept o f t he l ibrary s cience; t hough i t h as b een a mbiguous f or t he l ong time with the extension and content changing according to historical ideas of this phenomenon. The abstract ideas of the library have been developing in a quite traditional way, i. e. from static (points, lines, planar geometric figures, 3-dimensional objects) to dynamic ones. The author supports the proposal to formulate different definitions of the library, i. e. for the professional and national standards, which would enable to describe the reality with the greater precision. Based on her theoretical studies, the author suggests updated definitions of: “the library” scientific category, the concepts of “the library as a social institution”, “personal library” and “the library as an organization; as only “the library as a social institution” is subject to regulation by normative documents. Differentiation of “the library” scientific concept into specific ones makes the foundation for formulating different definitions for the professionals and national standards.

Published: July 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of some bread wheat varieties in different environments, and to reveal the relationships between some physiological parameters and yield and yield components. Three bread wheat varieties, (Namely, Basribey 95, Alibey, and Kaşifbey 95), were used as plant materials. Field experiments were conducted during the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 growing seasons in Aydın and Menemen locations. The experimental layout was a RCBD with three replications at each location and year. In the study, canopy temperature depression (CTD), chlorophyll content (CC), stomatal conductance (SC), grain yield (GY), plant height (PH), spike number per square meter (S/m2), thousand kernel weight (TKW), test weight (TW), grain number per spike (G/S), single spike yield (SSY), number of days to heading (DHE), were examined. CTD in ZGS 65 had a decisive role in gaining high grain yield. Also, CC in ZGS 65 and ZGS 71 might be defined as an important physiological traits. On the other hand, the contribution of the SC parameter determined in ZGS 55, ZGS 65 and ZGS 71 to the yield depends on the environment. Those parameters could be selection criteria for high-yield wheat breeding due to positive and significant correlations with grain yield. And also SC and CC parameters might be used in yield estimation on wheat.

Approximate methods for analyzing semiparametric longitudinal models with nonignorable missing responses
Authors: Aloraini Najla , Sinha Sanjoy
Published: July 2023

We often encounter missing data in longitudinal studies. When the missingness in longitudinal data is nonignorable, it is necessary to incorporate the missing data mechanism into the observed data likelihood function for a valid statistical inference. In this article, we propose and explore a novel semiparametric approach to estimating the regression parameters and variance components using a partially linear mixed model with nonignorable and nonmonotone missing responses. The ﬁnite sample properties of the proposed method are studied using Monte Carlo simulations, where our method is found to be very effective in capturing any curvilinear pattern in the mean response. The method is also illustrated using some actual longitudinal data obtained from a public health survey, referred to as the Health and Retirement Study (HRS).

Biochar for Improving crop Production in Nepal
Authors: Vista S P , Pandit N R
Published: July 2023

Improving soil fertility and crop productivity is crucial to reduce food insecurity and poverty in Nepal. Biochar as a soil amendment has been found effective in increasing crop production. Here, we reviewed various biochar studies carried out in Nepal by different organizations and assessed future potential of biochar as an effective soil amendment. In this review, we have included the biochar pretreated (enriched) with nutrient or added separately in soil. We found that good quality biochar could be produced using the novel flame curtain metal and soil pit          “Kontik” kiln with slow pyrolysis technology.  Biochar produced from Kontiki found having high pH (9.8), organic carbon (OC, 72%), surface area (215 m2g-1) and cation exchange capacity (CEC, 72 cmol kg-1). Further, biochar application improved soil chemical properties (pH, OC, CEC, base cations) and nutrient availability such as available phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). Similarly, biochar addition increased crop yield significantly compared with non-biochar plots. Higher crop yield was achieved when biochar was enriched or charged with cattle urine. Thus, from this study, we suggest that biochar should be prioritized in government programs as a potential soil amendment and scale up or increase its use at farm level.

Authors: Dixit R , Rani M , Kumar J
Published: July 2023

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a major legume food crop. Its seeds are rich in carbohydrates, protein, vitamin B, and other minerals. For better seed output and protein content, various factors viz; proper light conditions, and freedom from insect pests are necessary. Many insect pests play a damaging role in chickpea production and hence pest control is key to better production. This study was carried out at the experimental sites of Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, Kanpur, India to assess the responses to different dosages of monocrotophos pesticides on chlorophyll and protein contents in Chickpea. Different doses of monocrotophos viz., control, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 5% 7.5%, and 10% were applied to seeds before sowing. Quantitative analysis of plants for chlorophyll content was done on a per-plant basis, The plant tissues were weighed and the analysis was done on an mgg-1 fresh weight basis. Chlorophyll content was estimated by extracting 80% acetone and determined spectrophotometrically and the quantification was done by the Arnon method (1949). The protein content was also estimated spectrophotometrically. The best results were obtained at 0.5% pesticide concentration. The total chlorophyll content was 1.662 mgg-1 for control and 1.671mgg-1 for 0.5% and decreased with the increasing concentration of monocrotophos pesticide. The protein content was highest, 28.41 mgg-1 at 0.5%, as compared to 27.45 mgg-1 at the control and decreased for increasing concentrations of monocrotophos. The same trend of results was recorded for different doses of deltamethrin.

Published: July 2023

Four genotypes of quail Dhakai (D), White (W), Brown (Br) and Black (Bl) quail are being maintained at BLRI with the objectives of increasing the sixth-week body weight through selective breeding and selecting parental birds and breeding them in an assortative plan for the production of 8th generation birds. The parent males and females were maintained in cages for single-pair mating through selective breeding system for producing each generation. A total of 1118-day-old quail chicks comprising 4 types were hatched in one batch to produce eighth generation (G8). The expected genetic progress due to selection for 5th-week body weight was estimated for G8. The genotype had significant (p<0.001) effect on the body weight of quails at 5th week of age. The 5th-week body weight was 132.34±0.88, 123.91±0.52, 104.29±0.76 and 105.36±0.68g, respectively for D, W, Br, and Bl genotypes. The hatchability rate was significantly (p<0.001) higher in D (78.47%) compared to other three genotypes. The egg production percentage up to 24th week of age was 85.27±1.0, 80.22±1.61, 81.07±1.2 and 96.12±1.1, respectively for D, W, Br, and Bl and significantly (p<0.001) differed among all genotypes. Mortality percent among genotypes was statistically non-significant (p>0.05). Sixth-week body weight of males of D, W, Br, and Bl quails were expected to increase by 4.06, 6.36, 2.39, and 3.12g, respectively. While in females of D, W, Br, and Bl quails, the responses were 5.60, 3.61, 4.17, and 3.91g, respectively. Taken together, it may be concluded that Dhakai quail was superior for body weight and Black quail for egg production performance. These findings suggested continuing the quail breeding research for producing a suitable meat-type quail genotype in our country.

Authors: Sudarso  , Mhd Arief Hasan  , Muhamad Sadar
Published: July 2023

The design of a Floor Cleaning Robot Based on Arduino Uno R3 aims to make it easier for humans to clean the dust on the floor efficiently. This robot consists of several series of components including Arduino Uno r3: Arduino Uno r3, sensor ultrasonic, motor servo, This robot consists of several components including Arduino Uno R3, ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, motor shield driver, dc motor, and vacuum blower motor. The entire system synergizes in the process of cleaning the dust on the floor and all of them are connected to a power source in the form of a dc battery, which supplies a voltage of 7 volts for the Arduino circuit and 12 volts for the vacuum blower. The working principle of this robot starts when the ultrasonic sensor can measure and distinguish the closest distance between the robot and an obstacle, at the same time the servo motor will move up to 180° to assist the ultrasonic sensor in detecting obstacles, both the front, right, and left sides of the robot. This Floor Cleaning Robot is programmed by adapting fuzzy logic artificial intelligence, the fuzzy rules used in this robot aim to control the speed of the robot based on the obstacle distance detected by the ultrasonic sensor. Fuzzy logic executes the data and continues the command to drive the motor so that the robot can work efficiently cleaning dust on the floor by minimizing the occurrence of collisions against obstacles. Dust suction carried out by the vacuum blower motor is not included in the Arduino circuit, because the vacuum blower motor requires an input power of 12 volts. It is not possible to unite it to the Arduino circuit because the power it has is only 7 volts, but these two separate circuits can still synergize well in the process of cleaning the dust on the floor. The results of observations and experiments show that the fuzzy logic embedded in the Arduino as the brain of the dust-cleaning robot on the floor works quite well.

Published: July 2023

Marketplace is an electronic product marketing platform that brings together many sellers and buyers to transact with each other. The large variety of products sold on Shopee is one of the reasons this application is in great demand by all walks of life. However, the weakness of the large variety of products sold in a marketplace causes buyers who have no potential to buy these products. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to do a classification to determine which products are most in demand by customers. Product categories consist of: Clothing, Beauty Products, Daily Goods, Electronics, and Accessories. The classification method used is Naïve Bayes and the software used is WEKA. The next data collection is done by distributing questionnaires to the existing customers on social media namely, Whatsapp and Instagram, the distribution of the questionnaire is conducted through Google form. There are 90 questionnaires that will be distributed in this study. Some of the indicators asked in the questionnaire namely, do you like shopping online? And what marketplaces are commonly used. These results will be the training data. Interest categories are divided into 4 categories, namely: Very interested, Interested, Not interested, Very not interested. The results obtained in this study are clothing products (72 respondents) are products that are in great demand, daily goods products (7 respondents) are products of interest, beauty and electronic products (5 respondents) are products that are not in demand, and accessories (1 respondents ) is a product that is not very attractive to customers on the Shopee marketplace

Published: July 2023

AbstractThis study aims to empirically test the effect of audit quality on accounting misstatements and determine whether the occurrence of accounting misstatements can be moderated with capital market pressure. This study used data from LQ45 index companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021, with a total research sample of 90. The hypothesis testing technique was panel regression analysis with a random effect model. This study found that audit quality does not affect accounting misstatements, and capital market pressure could not moderate the effect of audit quality on accounting misstatements. This research was conducted by adding capital market pressure as a moderating variable which is believed to be able to strengthen/weaken the effect of audit quality on accounting misstatements, so this study's sample consists of the LQ45 index, which represents the companies in Indonesia with the most substantial capital market pressure. The results of this study imply that the companies incorporated in the LQ45 index are blue chip companies in Indonesia, so the LQ45 Index companies are the right choice for investors to place their funds in the shares of these companies. In future research, it is better to add samples to companies actively traded in the Asia Pacific region by excluding the 2020 and 2021 period.Keywords: Audit quality; Accounting misstatements; Capital market pressure.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji secara empiris pengaruh kualitas audit terhadap salah accounting misstatements dan menentukan apakah terjadinya accounting misstatements dapat dimoderasi dengan tekanan pasar modal.

MAGNETOCALORIC EFFECT AROUND CURIE TEMPERATURE IN Ni50-x CuxMn38Sn12B3 SHAPE MEMORY RIBBONS
Authors: KIZILASLAN Olcay
Published: July 2023

The
magnetocaloric effect in Ni50-xCuxMn38Sn12B3
ribbons depending on the Cu substitution (x= 0, 1, 3) was investigated around the
Curie temperature. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the
magnetocaloric effect around a second order phase transition (around the Curie
temperature) which has a smaller thermal hysteresis compared to a first order
phase transition (Martensitic transition). The Curie temperature of the ribbons
shifted to higher temperatures with increasing Cu content. A conventional magnetocaloric effect
(MCE) was observed around the Curie temperature when the ribbons are subjected
to a magnetic field change of 5 T. The magnetic entropy changes were
calculated based on the isothermal magnetization  data using thermodynamic
Maxwell equation. The highest magnetic entropy change and the refrigerant
capacity
was
obtained for the x=1 ribbon.

Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) has gained a serious achievement on sequential data which have been used generally videos, text and time-series. In this paper, we aim for generating lyrics with newly created “Turkish Lyrics” dataset. By this time, there have been studies for creating Turkish Lyrics with character-level. Unlike previous studies, we propose to Turkish Lyrics generator working with word-level instead on character-level. Also, for employing LSTM, we can’t send the words as string and words must be vectorized. To vectorize, we tried two ways for encoding the words that are used in dataset and compared them. Firstly, we sample for generating one-hot encoding and then, secondly word-embedding way (Word2Vec). Observational results show us that word- level generation with word-embedding way gives more meaningful and realistic lyrics. Actually, there have not been good results enough to be used for a song because of Turkish Grammar. But, this study encourages authors to work on this field and we do believe that this study will initialize research on this area and lead researchers to contribute to this as well.

Functional

magnetic resonance imaging is a technique with a primary and dominant effect in

the investigation of the cognitive functions of the brain since it has a

complex structure. In this study, data obtained from single subject was

examined. First statistical parametric mapping results were obtained after

applying the standard preprocessing steps with including smoothness. Spatial

smoothing was performed using a 3 mm Gaussian kernel which is twice of the

voxel size. Second, statistical parametric mapping results were obtained with

applying standard preprocessing steps without smoothing. The effects of these

two applications on the mapping results were compared for selected slices and

locations in terms of statistical and pattern.
A STUDY ON THE SEARCH POTENTIAL OF DOUBLY CHARGED LEPTONS AT THE SppC BASED ep COLLIDERS
Authors: OZANSOY Aysuhan , ALBAYRAK Oğuzhan
Published: July 2023

We consider the single production of doubly charged leptons which take part in the extended weak isospin models and have exotic electric charges such as  at the SppC based electron-proton (ep) colliders. We introduce the effective lagrangians describing the doubly charged lepton gauge interactions with SM leptons. We calculate the decay widths and production cross sections as a function of doubly charged lepton mass. We deal with the  process and plot the kinematical distributions for  the final state electron both for the signal and corresponding background. We perform a cut-based analysis to obtain the mass limits and couplings of doubly charged leptons at the SppC based ep colliders with the center-of-mass energies of TeV and  TeV.
LPI RADAR WAVEFORM CLASSIFICATION USING BINARY SVM AND MULTI-CLASS SVM BASED ON PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS OF TFI
Authors: BEKTAŞ Almıla , ERGEZER Halit
Published: July 2023

Since cognition has become an important topic in Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, Electronic Support Measures (ESM) are used to monitor, intercept and analyse radar signals. Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars is preferred to be able to detect targets without being detected by ES systems. Because of their properties as low power, variable frequency, wide bandwidth, LPI Radar waveforms are difficult to intercept with ESM systems. In addition to intercepting, the determination of the waveform types used by the LPI Radars is also very important for applying counter-measures against these radars. In this study, a solution for the LPI Radar waveform recognition is proposed. The solution is based on the training of Support Vector Machine (SVM) after applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to the data obtained by Time-Frequency Images (TFI). TFIs are generated using Choi-Williams Distribution. High energy regions on these images are cropped automatically and then resized to obtain uniform data set. To obtain the best result in SVM, the SVM Hyper-Parameters are also optimized. Results are obtained by using one-against-all and one-against-one methods. Better classification performance than those given in the literature have been obtained especially for lower Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) values. The cross-validated results obtained are compared with the best results in the literature.
STUDY OF TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM OF IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY IN TURKEY BASED ON LINEAR PROGRAMMING, VAM AND MODI METHODS
Authors: ASKERBEYLİ Rehile
Published: July 2023

The subject of this study is the investigation of the minimization of the total transportation costs for finished product produced by Alter Iron and Steel Industry Company in its own production facilities in Karabuk. Firstly, the current situation in the Iron and Steel Industry in the world and Turkey are briefly discussed. In the second stage, the distribution to the demand point from the factory operating in the Iron and Steel Sector is considered as the basic problem. The demand points were determined as geographical regions. We have two targets: the total cost to be minimized and the total amount of goods to be sent from supply center to the demand centers to be equal to the total demand or supply amount. The optimum solution of the transportation model were solved both the traditional transportation model methods such as Vogels Approximation Method (VAM), Modified Distribution (MODI) method and the linear programming method. The optimal solution for last model was found using the R /SIMPLEX package program. Obtained results by different approachs are discussed. Critical aspect of this problem is to use the single source transportation model, where all demand amounts are met from a single production center.

In this study, sleep electroencephalography (EEG) which is frequently used in statistical modelling has been modelled with the autoregressive (AR) time-series model and what kind of a structure the variance of the term white noise included in the model represented in different sleep stages has been observed. Taking all of the stages scored in accordance with Rechtschaffen and Kales criterion into account separately, epoches in each stage have been modelled with the AR and the variance of the term white noise in this model has been monitored. The study has evaluated the sleep EEG variances of a subject. In accordance with the results, the heterogeneity at Stage 2 was thought to be the reason why the objective differences appeared in scoring. It is thought that this data pointed out a necessity that the period in Rechtschaffen and Kales scoring which is called Stage 2 must be revised.

Стратегии взаимодействия в родительской семье в свете актуализации религиозной идентичности среди таджиков Москвы
PARENTAL FAMILY INTERACTION STRATEGIES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ACTUALIZATION
OF RELIGIOUS IDENTITY AMONG TAJIKS IN MOSCOW
Authors: Molchanova Yu. O.
Published: July 2023

Актуальность статьи обусловлена современными социальными процессами, характеризующимися интенсификацией мобильности населения, трансформацией идентичностей мигрантов и необходимостью реструктуризации их повседневной жизни в принимающем обществе. Все эти процессы не только воздействуют на мигрантское сообщество в новой для него стране, но и оказывают существенное влияние на культуру соотечественников в стране-доноре. Цель статьи — рассмотреть на примере таджиков Москвы, каким образом актуализация религиозной идентичности сказывается на пересмотре семейных устоев и родительского авторитета. Методами исследования послужили интервью с молодыми мигрантами, чья повседневность структурируется посредством религиозных практик (молитва, необходимость взятия омовения и т. п.). По итогам анализа мы выявили тенденции к переосмыслению родительского авторитета, непосредственно влияющие на взаимоотношения в семьях информантов. Обращение к религии нередко становится следствием необходимости выстраивания социальной реальности в новом контексте, а иногда и вовсе легитимирует эту необходимость. Также удалось реконструировать процесс выстраивания мигрантами коммуникативных сетей и создания религиозных сообществ с целью получения знаний об исламе, в результате чего родители перестают рассматриваться в качестве основных носителей религиозных знаний.
The intensification of migration, the transformation of identities and the need to restructure everyday life of migrants in the host society not only affect the migrant community, but also have a significant impact on the culture in the recipient country. The purpose of this article is to examine, using the example of Tajiks in Moscow, how the actualization of religious identity affects the revision of parental authority in the family. The research methods included interviews with young migrants whose everyday life is structured by religious practices (prayer, ablutions, etc.). The study revealed certain trends to redefine parental authority, which affect directly the relationships within the informants’ families. The actualization of religious identity is often a consequence of constructing a social reality in a new context, and sometimes even legitimizes this need to do so. Communicative networks and religious communities created by migrants in order to acquire knowledge about Islam result in parents losing their role of the bearers of religious knowledge.
