Authors: ARSLAN Hasan
Published: July 2022

Bu tetkik, Osmanlı Devleti’nin bir değişim ve dönüşüm asrı kabul edilen 17. yüzyılda ülkenin mütevazı bir san-cağı olan Ayntab’da sürsat mükellefiyetini konu almıştır. Sürsat olağanüstü durumlarda harp ihtiyaçları kap-samında talep edilen bir yükümlülüktü. Bu yükümlülük, mahiyeti itibariyle tam bir vergi olmayıp miktarı ve fiyatı merkezî idarece belirlenen arpa, un/ekmek, koyun, sadeyağ, bal ve odun/saman gibi ürünlerin reaya tarafından tayin edilen menzillerde nakledilerek orada askerlere akçe karşılığında satılmasıdır.

Ayntab, tetkik edilen dönemde Maraş eyaletine bağlı bir sancak merkeziydi ve Ayntab ve Telbaşer kazaların-dan oluşuyordu. Liva halkı, sürsat yükümlülüğünü, doğu seferleri sırasında ekseriyetle aynen, batı yönündeki seferler esnasında da nakden yerine getirmiştir. Bu tetkikte başlıca kaynak olarak, T.C. Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı bünyesindeki Osmanlı Arşivi’nin çeşitli fonlarında kayıtlı döneme ait onlarca Sürsat Zahiresi/Bedeli Defteri, Mevkufat Defteri ile Ayntab Şer’iyye Sicillerinin yanı sıra çok sayıda vesika kullanılmıştır. Kaynakların elverdiği ölçüde 17. yüzyılda Ayntab sancağı/kazası özelinde sürsat yükümlülüğünün mahiyeti/kimliği, zaman içindeki seyri ve tarh-tahsil sürecindeki işleyişi takip edilmiş. Bu süreçte dönem boyunca ortaya çıkan kimi zaman radikal kimi zaman da yavaş ancak istikralı bir tarzda arızilikten daimiliğe; aynîlikten nakdiliğe doğru olan değişim/dönüşümü gözlemlenmiş. İlk başlarda aynen talep edilen akdî ve ivazlı bu mükellefiyetin zamanla tam bir vergiye nasıl dönüştürüldüğü izlenmiştir. Bu araştırma, dönemin ve bölgenin mali/iktisadi ve içtimai hatta idari vaziyetini biraz daha aydınlatmıştır.
Regulation of urban stormwater management is not a matter of choice, but performance
Authors: Novaes Carlos Augusto Furtado de Oliveira , Marques Rui Cunha
Published: August 2022

Public services regulation is not a new subject and neither is its application to urban water services. Regulation is part of the set of instruments available for running public policies but does not occur alone, i.e., without institutions, the rules governing interactions between actors. However, when it comes to stormwater management, regulation is not always present, either in a soft form, through best practice guides, or in harder forms, such as command-and-control mechanisms. Literature and practice show that their absence hinders the desired provision of stormwater services. This paper seeks to present and discuss aspects related to the subject of regulation focusing not only on the need for regulation but also on the alignment between policies, institutions, and regulation (PIR) around the goal of achieving performance in delivery services. The objective and novelty of the reflections presented here consist in contributing to creating a new mentality on the need for this alignment. Aligning regulation issues within the PIR context creates opportunities to save resources and to bring better performance. This is not few and nor a matter of choice, but of the need to improve performance to face urban demographic increase, aging and obsolescence of infrastructure, and climate change challenges.
Quantifying Diyala River basin rainfall-runoff models for normal and extreme weather events
Authors: Naqi Noor Mahdi , Al-Madhhachi Abdul-Sahib T. , Al-Jiboori Monim H.
Published: August 2022

A variety of methods, including both modeling and non-modeling water balance techniques, are used in this study to estimate water availability allocated for different demands. The area under investigation is the shared Diyala River basin between Iraq and Iran, which is vulnerable to climate change impact and upstream control and aims to enhance watershed management. Two rainfall-runoff models were applied, the Tanh curve model and the modified Tanh curve model for runoff simulation at the Derbendkhan and Hemmrin hydrometric stations. Data from two meteorological stations in Iraq (Khanakin and Sulymania) and one in Iran (Sanandaj) for 20 hydrological years (2000–2020) was used. Some goodness of fit indicators were used to evaluate the reliability of the model outcomes, including the correlation coefficient, the root mean squared error, the mean absolute error, the deviation of runoff volume, and the index of agreement. Statistical analysis shows no statistically significant difference between observed and predicted runoff at all stations in winter, spring, and annual time scales when using the Tanh curve model, or for monthly and extreme wet events when using the modified Tanh curve method. The modified Tanh curve model was more accurate than the Tanh model and applied only to Sulymania and Sanandaj stations, as it required a considerable amount of precipitation in at least semi-humid areas.

Authors: Shiddiqi Alfa Adib Ash , Sutjiningsih Dwita , Tjahjono Tri , Darmajanti Linda , Suprayoga Gede B.
Published: August 2022

Background:

Sustainable transport is fundamental to progress in realising the agenda of sustainable development, as a quarter of energy-related global greenhouse gas emissions come from the transport sector. In developing countries, metropolitan areas have adopted the agenda to better serve the urban population with safe, affordable, and environmentally-friendly transport systems. However, this drive must include relevant indicators and how their operationalisation can deal with institutional barriers, such as challenges to cross-sectoral coordination.

Objective:

This study aims to explore context-specific indicators for developing countries, focusing on the case of the Jakarta metropolitan area.

Methods:

Expert judgement was used to assess the selection criteria. The participants were experts from government institutions, non-government organisations, and universities.

Results:

The findings show that safety, public transport quality, transport cost, air pollution, and accessibility are contextual indicators for application in developing countries. Similarities are shown with the research results from other indexes/sets of indicators for developing countries, for example, the Sustainable Urban Transport Index (SUTI) of UN ESCAP. However, some of these indicators leave room for improvement, such as the balance between strategic and operational levels of application.

Conclusion:

Therefore, this research suggests that global sets of indicators should be adjusted before being implemented in particular developing country contexts.

Physicochemical and functional characteristics of black potato (Coleus tuberosus) flour from some locations in East Java Indonesia
Authors: Muchlisyiyah Jhauharotul , Estiasih Teti , Puspa Arinta Dita , Sisca Prasmita Hera
Published: July 2022

Coleus tuberous (local name: kentang hitam/black potato) is widely available in Indonesia. Commonly, black potatoes are only boiled and made into side dishes. Black potatoes have the potential to be the ingredient of functional foods. However, black potatoes can only be harvested once a year. Therefore, a low moisture form (flour) storage is required for longer shelf life. Research on physicochemical and functional characteristics of black potato flour is expected to widen the use of black potato flour as raw materials in various food products. This study was aimed to analyze the chemical, physical, and functional characteristics of black potato flour originating from Sunthi (Jaten), Begal, and Kopenan Forest villages in East Java, Indonesia. All the measurements were carried out with three replications and analyzed using one-way ANOVA, then followed by the Tukey test to find the difference from each sample at a 0.05 significance level. The correlation analysis and principal component analysis were also subjected to study the relationship between each character of the samples. The result indicated that the tuber and starch have relatively high ash, amylose, and total phenol concentration. Several high correlations were found between the characteristics of the black potato flours. One of the high correlations was the water absorption index with starch, amylose, and total phenolic content. The principal component analysis (PCA) also found that the three samples were loading differently in the score plot. Two first principal components (PCs) were the contributing factor for 100% of the differences.
The effect of ZnO (zinc oxide) and glycerol concentrations on the mechanical properties of bioplastics made from Canna tuber (Canna edulis) starch
Authors: Hasna Tanalyna , Ayu Lestari Cinta , Dwi Rukmi Putri Widya , Fathuroya Vivien
Published: July 2022

The problem of plastic waste in Indonesia is increasingly worrying due to its long degradation duration. Bioplastics made from starch are easily degradable in nature and have a lower contribution to environmental pollution. This study aimed to determine the effect of ZnO and glycerol additions on the thickness, tensile strength, elongation, Young’s Modulus, water absorption, and biodegradation of bioplastics. The results indicate that adding ZnO and glycerol has significant effects on thickness, tensile strength, elongation, Young’s Modulus, water absorption, and biodegradation. A high concentration of ZnO and glycerol was parallel to an increase in the thickness of bioplastic. A high ZnO concentration and low glycerol concentration increases the tensile strength and Young’s Modulus, but decreases the water absorption. Glycerol at high concentration and ZnO at low concentration increases the elongation. The addition of ZnO in a small amount positively affects the biodegradation of bioplastics.

Authors: Jariyah Jariyah , Kurniati Ely , Dwi Nurherdiana Silvana
Published: July 2022

This work represents a comprehensive analysis of pedada fruit (Sonneratia caseolaris) as a less desirable fruit, but valuable content such as pectin which obtained through extraction using microwave assisted extraction (MEA) method. Pectin is a water-soluble fiber widely used as a functional component in the food and pharmaceutical industry. The analysis focuses on the comparison profile of pectin from pedada fruit and Kepok banana peel. In addition, the effect of the concentration of the extracting solvent on the methoxyl levels of pectin was also evaluated using the chemometric method (partial least square (PLS) and principal component analysis (PCA)). PLS was performed to determine the methoxyl content which plays a role in determining the pectin type. While PCA was to determine the pectin classification pattern based on the fruit supply location and the extracting solvent. The results showed that the PLS of extracted pectin of pedada fruit and Kepok bananas peels showed an R2 value of 1. This means that the pectin data model of each sample using the MAE method was in good classification. In addition, the PCA results show that the pectin extraction data plots are close together between samples in the quadrant, indicating the same characteristics and quality of pectin.

Published: July 2022

Background

Seasonal influenza affects 5% to 15% of Americans annually, resulting in preventable deaths and substantial economic impact. Influenza infection is particularly dangerous for people with cardiovascular disease, who therefore represent a priority group for vaccination campaigns.

Objective

We aimed to assess the effects of digital intervention messaging on self-reported rates of seasonal influenza vaccination.

Methods

This was a randomized, controlled, single-blind, and decentralized trial conducted at individual locations throughout the United States over the 2020-2021 influenza season. Adults with self-reported cardiovascular disease who were members of the Achievement mobile platform were randomized to receive or not receive a series of 6 patient-centered digital intervention messages promoting influenza vaccination. The primary end point was the between-group difference in self-reported vaccination rates at 6 months after randomization. Secondary outcomes included the levels of engagement with the messages and the relationship between vaccination rates and engagement with the messages. Subgroup analyses examined variation in intervention effects by race. Controlling for randomization group, we examined the impact of other predictors of vaccination status, including cardiovascular condition type, vaccine drivers or barriers, and vaccine knowledge.

Results

Of the 49,138 randomized participants, responses on the primary end point were available for 11,237 (22.87%; 5575 in the intervention group and 5662 in the control group) participants. The vaccination rate was significantly higher in the intervention group (3418/5575, 61.31%) than the control group (3355/5662, 59.25%; relative risk 1.03, 95% CI 1.004-1.066; P=.03). Participants who were older, more educated, and White or Asian were more likely to report being vaccinated. The intervention was effective among White participants (P=.004) but not among people of color (P=.42). The vaccination rate was 13 percentage points higher among participants who completed all 6 intervention messages versus none, and at least 2 completed messages appeared to be needed for effectiveness. Participants who reported a diagnosis of COVID-19 were more likely to be vaccinated for influenza regardless of treatment assignment.

Conclusions

This personalized, evidence-based digital intervention was effective in increasing vaccination rates in this population of high-risk people with cardiovascular disease.

Health Needs for Suicide Prevention and Acceptance of e-Mental Health Interventions in Adolescents and Young Adults: Qualitative Study
Authors: Blattert Lisa , Armbruster Christoph , Buehler Eva , Heiberger Andrea , Augstein Patrick , Kaufmann Sarina , Reime Birgit ,   Rural Suicide Prevention Study Group
Published: August 2022

Background

Adolescence is a phase of higher vulnerability for suicidal behavior. In Germany, almost 500 adolescents and young adults aged 15-25 years commit suicide each year. Youths in rural areas are characterized by a higher likelihood of poorer mental health. In rural areas, appropriate support for adolescents and young adults in mental health crises is difficult to access. The general acceptability of digital communication in youths can make the provision of an eHealth tool a promising strategy.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore the health needs regarding suicide prevention for adolescents and young adults in rural areas of Germany and Switzerland and to identify characteristics of suitable e-mental health interventions.

Methods

This study reports on a qualitative secondary analysis of archived data, which had been collected through formative participatory research. Using 32 semistructured interviews (individually or in groups of 2) with 13 adolescents and young adults (aged 18-25 years) and 23 experts from relevant fields, we applied a deductive-inductive methodological approach and used qualitative content analyses according to Kuckartz (2016).

Results

Experts as well as adolescents and young adults have reported health needs in digital suicide prevention. The health needs for rural adolescents and young adults in crises were characterized by several categories. First, the need for suicide prevention in general was highlighted. Additionally, the need for a peer concept and web-based suicide prevention were stressed. The factors influencing the acceptability of a peer-driven, web-based support were related to low-threshold access, lifelike intervention, anonymity, and trustworthiness.

Conclusions

The results suggest a need for suicide prevention services for adolescents and young adults in this rural setting. Peer-driven and web-based suicide prevention services may add an important element of support during crises. By establishing such a service, an improvement in mental health support and well-being could be enabled. These services should be developed with the participation of the target group, taking anonymity, trustworthiness, and low-threshold access into account.
Video Calls as a Replacement for Family Visits During Lockdowns in Aged Care: Interview Study With Family Members (Preprint)
Authors: Kelly Ryan M , Xing Yushan , Baker Steven , Waycott Jenny
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

Lockdowns have been used to prevent the spread of transmissible illnesses such as influenza, norovirus, and COVID-19 in care homes. However, lockdowns deny care home residents supplemental care and the socioemotional enrichment that comes from seeing family members. Video calling has the potential to enable ongoing contact between residents and family members during lockdowns. However, video calls can be considered by some as a poor substitute for in-person visits. It is important to understand family members’ experiences with video calling during lockdowns to ensure the effective use of this technology in the future.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to understand how family members use video calls to communicate with relatives living in aged care during lockdowns. We focused on experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, which involved extensive lockdowns in aged care homes.

METHODS

We conducted semistructured interviews with 18 adults who had been using video calls with relatives living in aged care during pandemic lockdowns. The interviews focused on how participants had been using video calls, what benefits they gained from video-based interactions, and what challenges they encountered when using the technology. We analyzed the data using the 6-phase reflexive approach to thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke.

RESULTS

We developed 4 themes through our analysis. Theme 1 interprets video calling as a medium for the continuation of care during lockdowns. Using video calls, family members were able to provide social enrichment for residents and engaged in health monitoring to uphold residents’ welfare. Theme 2 highlights how video calling extended care by supporting frequent contact, transmitting nonverbal cues that were essential for communication, and negating the need for face masks. Theme 3 interprets organizational issues such as the lack of technology and staff time as impediments to the continuation of familial care through video. Finally, theme 4 highlights the need for 2-way communication, interpreting residents’ unfamiliarity with video calling and their health conditions as further barriers to the continuation of care.

CONCLUSIONS

This study suggests that, during restrictions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, video calls became a medium for enabling family members to continue participating in the care of their relatives. The use of video calls to continue care illustrates their value for families during times of mandatory lockdown and supports the use of video to complement face-to-face visits at other times. However, better support is needed for video calling in aged care homes. This study also revealed a need for video calling systems that are designed for the aged care context.

Authors: Tornberg Haley , Moezinia Carine , Wei Chapman , Bernstein Simone A , Wei Chaplin , Al-Beyati Refka , Quan Theodore , Diemert David J
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

The use of social media assists in the distribution of information about COVID-19 to the general public and health professionals. Alternative-level metrics (ie, Altmetrics) is an alternative method to traditional bibliometrics that assess the extent of dissemination of a scientific article on social media platforms.

OBJECTIVE

Our study objective was to characterize and compare traditional bibliometrics (citation count) with newer metrics (Altmetric Attention Score [AAS]) of the top 100 Altmetric-scored articles on COVID-19.

METHODS

The top 100 articles with the highest AAS were identified using the Altmetric explorer in May 2020. AAS, journal name, and mentions from various social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, Reddit, Mendeley, and Dimension) were collected for each article. Citation counts were collected from the Scopus database.

RESULTS

The median AAS and citation count were 4922.50 and 24.00, respectively. The New England Journal of Medicine published the most articles (18/100, 18%). Twitter was the most frequently used social media platform with 985,429 of 1,022,975 (96.3%) mentions. Positive correlations were observed between AAS and citation count (r2=0.0973; P=.002).

CONCLUSIONS

Our research characterized the top 100 COVID-19–related articles by AAS in the Altmetric database. Altmetrics could complement traditional citation count when assessing the dissemination of an article regarding COVID-19.

Prolongadas estancias en Chiapas, el acceso a documentos oficiales, nuevas lecturas y pláticas con personas que la trataron durante su permanencia en San Cristóbal -custodios cariñosos de fotografías, cartas y recortes de periódicos- más la amistad personal con la escritora, dieron vida a este libro contraído alrededor de una recopilación antológica: nueve obras de teatro, un relato, dos notas educativas, dos ensayos y cuatro artículos, en los que la autora reflexiona desde la experiencia de su confrontación personal con la realidad de Chiapas, acerca de los propósitos y alcances del teatro guiñol para indígenas. A lo largo del texto se reproducen fragmentos de conversaciones y entrevistas, más una muestra hemerográfica con abundantes acercamientos a su poesía, y al ciclo narrativo chiapaneco, no siempre a resguardo de los encasillamientos “corriente indigenista”, “escuela nacionalista”, “tendencia regionalista”, de los que no participó. El indigenismo de los cincuenta, el círculo de los antropólogos en un medio de confrontación ladinos-indígenas, la “antropología aplicada” y el teatro guiñol, son algunos de los temas que contiene este libro.
A Review on Updated Species List of Viridans Streptococci causing Infective Endocarditis
Authors: Lakshmi S.S. Jaya , Leela K.V.
Published: August 2022

Viridans streptococci are important causative organism of infective endocarditis, which is a disease having long-lasting effects among the patients who live with the disease as well as those who are cured. Infective endocarditis due to viridans streptococci generally usually affects persons with structural heart disease and is also associated with intravascular prosthetic devices. After the onset of bacteremia with the pathogenic viridans streptococci, vegetation is formed in one or more heart valves. The diagnosis of infective endocarditis due to viridans streptococci is difficult to establish in patients with underlying risk factors and it involves the correlation of microbiological (in-vitro growth of viridans streptococci), clinical, and echocardiography results (modified Duke criteria). The common microorganisms are Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp followed by viridans streptococci. The details of viridans streptococci causing infective endocarditis were reviewed in detail. Viridans streptococci possess a challenge in identification up to its species level and which helps in the identification of the source of infection as well as treating the infection.

For the repair of parts that, there are various technologies and methods of restoration, however, the technology of electric spark buildup is considered to be a universal method for restoring products. Research on the optimization of coating modes is an urgent task. (Research purpose) The research purpose is analyzing the effect of the current duty cycle on the thickness of the electric spark coating; determining the supplement of each sequentially applied layer on the total thickness of the coating; describing the results; assessing the roughness of the coatings formed. (Materials and methods) Ten layers were applied sequentially to determine the supplement of each applied layer in the total thickness of the electric spark coating in four duty cycles. Nickel alloy ERNiCr3 was used for the build-up, the duty cycles were changed from 1 to 4 percent at a constant current frequency of 250 hertz and a constant voltage of 48 volts. The average value of electric spark treatment for applying ten layers to the workpiece was 3 minutes. The roughness was assessed on the coating samples using a profilograph profilometer "Abris-PM7". (Results and discussion) The preheating of the electrode favorably affects the growth of the thickness of the electric spark buildup. With a duty cycle equal to 1 and 2 percent, the resulting coating shape had a flat appearance, and with a duty cycle of 3 and 4 percent, the coating had a pyramidal shape, which is explained by the formation of deeper wells with surges and a coarser overlay of the electrode material on the surface of the product; subsequent layers being built up fall on the tops of the formed irregularities. (Conclusions) With an increase in the duty cycle, the capacity of the build-up increases. When switching from a duty cycle of 3 percent to one of 4 percent, the coating thickness increases by 44 percent.

When providing transport work and driving a car in conditions of a transverse slope, it is often necessary to face the effect of uncontrolled movement of cargo on the body platform, which causes a redistribution of the load on the movers located on the same wheel axle. In addition, when transporting bulk cargo, they are poured out of the body, especially seeds of agricultural crops, which ultimately increases losses. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in experimental tests of the "Frame Load Regulator" device using a KamAZ-5350. (Materials and methods) Great difficulties arise when one of the propellers fails (damage or puncture of a wheel) located on one axis, directly within the field, since replacing the propeller in the field at the weak surface is a very time-consuming operation. One of the rational ways to operate cars in these conditions is the automatic redistribution of the load on the serviceable engine, which allows you to reduce the vertical load on the damaged engine and continue the movement of the unit. (Results and discussion) The article presents the results of an experimental test of the frame load regulator, made under RF patent No. 166665, on the transverse stability of a truck on the example of the KamAZ-5350 model in the conditions of agricultural production in the Amur region. (Conclusions) The relevance of the use of a framework load regulator in the technological process of field operations in the agro-industrial complex is described. The proposed frame load regulator is a highly efficient design with high reliability and low cost, which allows you to redistribute the load between the propellers located on the same axis when one of them fails.

The use of scrap metal and waste solves the problems of preservation of natural resources, reduces energy and economic costs. In mechanical engineering, aluminum bronzes are one of the most popular, they are used in products where such indicators as high strength and ductility, wear resistance and corrosion resistance are needed. (Research purpose) The research purpose is to make a surfacing electrode from scrap copper alloys, to investigate the properties and the coating processes when applying this material. (Materials and methods) The article presents the microstructure and microhardness of the secondary bronze coating and the material for surfacing by the method of electroerosive dispersion of bronze scrap. A compact semi-finished product was created from the resulting powder using spark plasma sintering technology, which was applied to steel samples by electric spark treatment. (Results and discussion) The study of the microhardness of the coatings showed that the coatings made of bronze BrAZh9-4 have a microhardness approximately 1.7-2 times greater than sintered bronze, while the characteristics of the thermal influence zone and its presence directly depend on the substrate material and the electrode material. When getting materials by this method, the elemental composition can be adjusted depending on the required tasks. (Conclusions) The studied material after spark plasma sintering consists of finely dispersed spherical grains, which affects the application parameters and coating characteristics. When applying a coating with the same electrode to different grades of steel, the coating changes with the same parameters of the material application.
