Published: October 2023

Abstrak. Selain melaksanakan pelayanan perawatan lansia, panti jompo juga melaksanakan pekerjaan rutin terkait pengelolaan informasi. Informasi ini didapat dari berbagai kegiatan, mulai dari lansia yang masuk ke panti jompo hingga keluar dari panti jompo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang sebuah aplikasi “E-PANJO” yang dapat digunakan sebagai alat untuk mendukung pengelolaan informasi panti jompo. Agar perancangan dapat menghasilkan aplikasi yang tepat dan sesuai dengan kebutuhan maka pengembangannya akan menggunakan metode Extreme Programming (XP). XP dipilih karena kemampuannya untuk mendukung proses pengembangan aplikasi skala kecil. XP merupakan metode yang terdiri dari fase eksplorasi, fase perencanaan, fase iterasi hingga fase rilis, fase produksi, dan fase kematian. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa XP efektif dalam mendukung perancangan E-PANJO dibuktikan dengan uji fungsionalitas black box yang dapat mengakomodir kebutuhan pengelolaan informasi panti jompo seperti pengelolaan informasi pemantauan riwayat kesehatan, mutasi lansia, kunjungan keluarga , menerima sumbangan dan biaya bulanan untuk orang tuaKata Kunci: E-PANJO, Extreme Programming, Panti Werdha
Abstract. In addition to carrying out elderly care services, nursing homes also carry out routine work related to information management. This information was obtained from various activities, from the elderly entering the nursing home to leaving the nursing home. This study aims to design an "E-PANJO" application as a tool to support the management of nursing home information. So that the design can produce the proper application and according to the needs, the development used the Extreme Programming (XP) method. XP was chosen because of its ability to support small-scale application development processes. XP is a method consisting of an exploration phase, planning phase, iteration to release phase, production phase, and death phase. The results of this study indicate that XP is effective in supporting the design of E-PANJO as evidenced by a black box functionality test that can accommodate the needs of nursing home information management such as managing information on monitoring health history, elderly mutations, family visits, receiving donations and monthly fees for the elderly.Keywords: E-PANJO, Extreme Programming, Nursing Home

Abstract. Application of Fast Independent Component Analysis (Fastica) Method in Separating Vocals and Instruments in Geguntangan. Gamelan Geguntangan is often used in religious ceremonies to accompany ceremonies and entertain the public. Along with its development, the Geguntangan gamelan is also used to accompany the Pesantian. Geguntangan recording plays instruments and vocal sounds, most of which have been mixed. The mixed sounds caused the learning process to be less effective for people who will study Pesantian. The students could not focus because of the distracting sound of the instrument. This study aims to separate the sound of instruments and vocals of Geguntangan using deflationary-based FastICA. The non-linear function used is Logcosh. This study also examines the effect of mixing matrix variables and alpha values on non-linear functions on SDR, SIR, and SAR values. The results of the paired t-test carried out by these two values did not have a significant effect on SDR, SIR, and SAR. The difference in the average time of the mixing matrix testing process is 0.09 seconds and 0.42 seconds for testing the alpha value.Keywords: Pesantian, Geguntangan, BSS, FastICA, Deflationary Based.
Abstrak. Gamelan Geguntangan sering dipakai dalam upacara keagamaan baik untuk mengiringi jalannya upacara dan hiburan masyarakat. Seiring perkembangannya, gamelan Geguntangan juga digunakan untuk mengiringi Pesantian. Pada rekaman Geguntangan terdapat suara instrumen dan vokal yang sebagian besarnya sudah tercampur. Hal ini menyebabkan proses belajar yang kurang efektif bagi orang yang akan belajar Pesantian. Para pemelajar tidak bisa fokus karena adanya suara instrumen yang mengganggu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memisahkan suara instrumen dan vokal seni Geguntangan menggunakan deflationary based FastICA. Fungsi non linear yang digunakan adalah Logcosh. Penelitian ini juga menguji pengaruh variabel matriks pencampuran dan nilai alpha pada fungsi non-linear terhadap nilai SDR, SIR dan SAR. Hasil uji-t berpasangan yang dilakukan kedua nilai ini tidak mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap SDR, SIR dan SAR. Selisih rata-rata waktu proses pengujian matriks pencampuran ialah 0.09 detik dan 0.42 detik untuk pengujian nilai alpha.Kata Kunci: Pesantian, Geguntangan, BSS, FastICA, Deflationary Based.

Authors: Rini Kusumawardani  , Upomo Togani Cahyadi , Untoro Nugroho  , Hanggoro Tri Cahyo
Published: October 2023

Likuifaksi merupakan fenomena dimana tanah pasir lepas dalam kondisi jenuh air kehilangan kekuatannya akibat dari beban statik maupun dinamik yang umumnya diakibatkan oleh gempa bumi. Beban statik maupun dinamik yang disalurkan kedalam tanah tersebut menyebabkan peningkatan tekanan air pori yang signifikan sehingga tegangan efektif tanah menjadi hilang. Fenomena likuifaksi beberapa kali terjadi di Indonesia, seperti fenomena likuifaksi di Yogyakarta tahun 2006, Lombok dan Palu tahun 2018. Salah satu metode untuk menilai likuifaksi dapat menggunakan pengujian triaksial statik dengan menerapkan kondisi consolidated undrained (CU). Pada studi ini, pengujian triaksial pada kondisi CU diterapkan untuk menguji potensi likuifaksi pada tanah pasir silika Rembang. Pengujian dilakukan pada kondisi tanah pasir lepas dengan kepadatan relatif  dan tanah pasir setengah padat dengan . Agar  rencana tercapai, metode pemadatan basah diterapkan dalam mencetak sampel. Selama pengujian, tegangan efektif  yang diberikan pada sampel sebesar 100 kPa dan 400 kPa. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bawah tegangan air pori pada kepadatan relatif 10% cenderung naik sampai dengan nilai tegangan efektif  yang diberikan. Hal tersebut menyebabkan tanah kehilangan tegangan efektifnya dan mengalami likuifaksi. Sedangkan pada kepadatan relatif 40%, tegangan air pori akan mencapai puncak dan selanjutnya konstan sehingga tanah dapat menjaga kekuatannya.

PENDEKATAN METODE BROMS TERHADAP METODE P-Y CURVE PADA ANALISIS KAPASITAS DUKUNG LATERAL PONDASI TIANG
Authors: Kurnia Zaid , Muhammad Riza  , Vitta Pratiwi
Published: October 2023

Pondasi tiang didesain agar mampu menahan beban aksial dan beban lateral. Beban lateral disebabkan oleh tekanan tanah lateral, beban gempa dan gaya-gaya yang bergerak/terjadi pada arah lateral. Dalam menganalisis kapasitas dukung lateral, umumnya dilakukan menggunakan Metode Broms dan p-y curve menggunakan software LPILE. Namun berdasarkan beberapa penelitian, hasil dari Metode Broms sangat konservatif dan jika pada tanah berlapis tidak bisa digunakan. Oleh karena itu dalam penelitian ini Metode Broms digunakan bertujuan untuk menentukan pendekatan dengan kondisi tanah 1 lapis (lempung saja atau pasir saja) terhadap metode p-y curve pada tanah berlapis (lempung-pasir), selanjutnya diverifikasi dengan hasil pengujian lateral di lapangan. Dalam menganalisis kapasitas dukung lateral menggunakan Metode Broms dan p-y curve perlu adanya pembatasan agar sesuai kriteria yang diinginkan yaitu pembatasan dalam pembebanan sesuai dengan pengujian lateral di lapangan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa defleksi Metode Broms lebih besar (konservatif) daripada Metode p-y curve dan pengujian lateral di lapangan. Pada tanah pasir, defleksi Metode Broms mendekati hasil dari Metode p-y curve dan pengujian lateral, berdasarkan hal tersebut analisis Metode Broms dengan asumsi 1 lapis (tanah pasir) bisa dijadikan pendekatan untuk menghitung kapasitas dukung lateral pada kondisi tanah berlapis (lempung-pasir).

ALGERIAN THIRD YEAR ENGLISH COURSEBOOK SCRUTINY: ‘MY BOOK OF ENGLISH’ AS A SAMPLE
Authors: Benabed Ammar , Mehdaoui Ahmed
Published: October 2023

It is widely acknowledged that coursebooks can be a useful source of information and knowledge for both teachers and learners. They are frequently written by subject-matter experts and can provide a logical and exhaustive overview of the target topic. Referring to the 2022-2023 academic year and with respect to the integration of English in Algerian primary school education, it was noticed that the circumstances in which the decision has been taken might need much more time because the interval between the decision of English integration and coursebook design was too short for a well-thought teaching material. Therefore, the major issue that is being questioned is how well ‘My Book of English’ meets the learners’ age, interest, and attractiveness. The issue under investigation seeks to scrutinize the un/suitability of the current English coursebook content and its impact on 3rd-year primary school learners as regards their competency, needs, and preferences. To answer the research questions and dis/confirm its hypotheses, the study relies on a mixed method, ensuring credible and valid data. Consequently, one questionnaire was put online, and addressed to primary school English teachers, and only fifty-four (54) respondents willingly responded.  Besides, the coursebook evaluation grid was filled out by two experts, i.e., primary-school English teachers’ trainers. The results reveal that the coursebook content contains some shortcomings such as poor representation of the language culture, authentic material, grammar logical order, and glossary. In fact, these deficiencies should be palliated for high-quality instruction and successful achievement.

Published: October 2023

Alternative education is an alternative option for people who have limited access to education, and the implementation of alternative education has a significant contribution to achieving national education goals. Alternative education in Indonesia has various forms such as reading parks, children's centers, halfway houses, natural schools and homeschooling. Alternative education is closely related to non-formal education because non-formal education is an effort to provide education to people who are unable to get an education. One of the targets of alternative education is street children. The curriculum and learning for street children provided must be in accordance with the interests and needs of street children so that it can be an educational provision that will later lead to the independence of street children in their lives. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the training and course curriculum as an alternative education for street children and to find out the appropriate curriculum for street children through alternative education. The method used in data collection is a literature review and literature study from various sources.
A Methodology for Generating Virtual Reality Immersion Metrics based on System Variables
Authors: Selzer Matias , Castro Silvia M.
Published: October 2023

Technological advances in recent years have promoted the development of virtual reality systems that have awide variety of hardware and software characteristics, providing varying degrees of immersion. Immersionis an objective property of the virtual reality system that depends on both its hardware and softwarecharacteristics. Virtual reality systems are currently attempting to improve immersion as much as possible.However, there is no metric to measure the level of immersion of a virtual reality system based onits characteristics. To date, the influence of these hardware and software variables on immersion hasonly been considered individually or in small groups. The way these system variables simultaneously affectimmersion has not been analyzed either. In this paper, we propose immersion metrics for virtualreality systems based on their hardware and software variables, as well as the development process that ledto their formulation. From the conducted experiment and the obtained data, we followed a methodology togenerate immersion models based on the variables of the system. The immersion metrics presented in thiswork offer a useful tool in the area of virtual reality and immersive technologies, not only to measurethe immersion of any virtual reality system but also to analyze the relationship and importance of thevariables of these systems.

Authors: Madou Rocío , Guerrero Federico N. , Spinelli Enrique M.
Published: October 2023

The evaluation of human-machine interfaces (HMI) requires quantitative metrics to define the ability of a person to effectively achieve their goals using the HMI. In particular, for pointing-device type HMIs such as the computer mouse, an experiment quantifying movement by performing repetitive target selections allows defining a useful metric known as throughput (TP) using the Fitts’ Law test. In this work, a dataset obtained from an automated protocol application is presented, which is made publicly available through an on-line platform. A post-processing method to obtain performance parameters from the dataset is also presented, and its output is used to validate the data against similar experiments in the literature.

Published: October 2023

Emerging technologies, e.g., cloud computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and information technologies, facilitate digital transformation and promote digital services. Significant research exists on the acceptance and use of technologies and specific digital transformation (DT) practices. However, more research is needed to better understand user’s acceptance and how they use technology to better de-sign digital services. Thus, this paper: 1) proposes a Systematic Literature Re-view (SLR) of the models of acceptance and use of technologies, as well as of certain DT practices applied to the human-computer interaction (HCI) of digital services; 2) provides an analysis of the results of the behavior of the factors and practices; and 3) proposes a taxonomy of the acceptance and use factors applied to HCI of digital services by economic activity. The main contribution of this work is the proposed taxonomy in a vacancy area relevant to digital transformation efforts applied to digital services pursued globally, both in the private and public sectors.
How do veterinarians mitigate liability concerns with workforce shortages?
Authors: Babcock Sarah L.
Published: October 2023

The challenge of meeting pet healthcare demands with inadequate staff resources creates legal and ethical considerations for the veterinary profession. Inadequate staffing can result in access to care issues that impact companion animal health, public health, and the human animal bond. An overburdened work environment may also result in liability issues related to standard of care, client dissatisfaction, and subsequent complaints. The following recommendations may ameliorate the legal and ethical impacts to include: a focus on how to optimize current resources (human and technology); improve client communications and medical record-keeping strategies; promote preventive care; develop and memorialize clinical standard operating procedures; and prioritize staff well-being to prevent burn out. These recommendations should be considered good practices when functioning under optimal conditions but are even more valuable to implement effectively in an overburdened companion animal medicine environment.
Standing gustatory papillae biopsy procedure for antemortem diagnosis of equine grass sickness
Authors: Quéré Emilie , Volmer Christelle , Mespoulhès-Rivière Céline
Published: October 2023

OBJECTIVE

Diagnosing equine grass sickness (EGS) requires histopathological evidence of chromatolysis and/or neuronal loss in peripheral autonomic ganglia. Previous investigators performed postmortem biopsies of gustatory papillae located on the tongue and found chromatolytic subgemmal neurons in all 13 EGS horses. The present study aimed to design a standardized lingual biopsy sampling method through a transbuccal approach in healthy standing horses and assess the quality of the obtained samples, to allow antemortem diagnosis of EGS in clinical cases.

ANIMALS

6 healthy horses.

METHODS

A transbuccal approach was performed bilaterally in 6 healthy standing horses. After having reached a deep level of sedation, horses were placed in stocks and a Günther mouth gag was inserted. Local anesthesia followed by a vertical full thickness incision was performed on both cheeks. Foliate papillae biopsies were carried out using an arthroscopic rongeur inserted through each incision site under oral endoscopic control. Tongue movements were restricted with diazepam. Histological assessment of taste buds and subgemmal plexi neurons was performed using H&E-stained longitudinal sections.

RESULTS

The procedure was well tolerated in all horses. Minor complications observed were a transient facial paralysis, some incisional fluid collection, and abscesses. Ten samples (10/12) were suitable for assessment of neuronal perikarya.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This procedure was safe for subgemmal plexus biopsy in healthy standing horses. The obtained samples were adequate as long as they were neatly cut lengthwise for inclusion. The technique was also used for 2 clinical cases and revealed the complete absence of neuronal perikarya, confirming chronic EGS.
Long-term post traumatic growth after moral- and victim-traumas among Norwegian UN military peacekeepers: the impact of emotional distress and leadership
Authors: Olsen Olav Kjellevold , Hystad Sigurd William , Bøe Hans Jakob , Are Eidhamar
Published: October 2023

This study investigated the relationship between traumatic experiences during peacekeeping operations in Lebanon (UNIFIL) between 1978 – 1998 and post traumatic growth (PTG), recalled and measured 17-38 years after, in a sample of 11 633 Norwegian military. Specifically, the study investigated how victim traumas (lethal danger) and moral traumas (moral failure) related to PTG, measured by the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (Cann et al., 2010). Emotional distress experienced during the traumas served as a potential mediator of this relationship, and leadership by closest superior a potential moderator of the mediation. The results showed a significant positive relationship between number of victim traumas and PTG, while number of moral traumas did not contribute to explain variance above this effect. The trauma - PTG relationship was partially mediated by emotional distress, but authentic- and laissez faire leadership did not moderate this mediation. In sum, the veterans with most traumatic experiences, as recalled 17-38 years later, had higher PTG, and emotional distress related to trauma mediated this growth. The findings indicate that traumatic experiences may represent a resource for growth and subsequent hope for recovery. Given the retrospective study-design which might have hindered accurate measurement of PTG, advice on future research approaches is included.

Published: October 2023

Objetivo: analizar los esfuerzos estatales y comunitarios para enfrentar los problemas ambientales y la afectación sanitaria en el país a través de dos estrategias diferentes: 1) las Regiones de Emergencia Ambiental (REA) y 2) la Estrategia Tayolchikawalis (ET) de la Sociedad Cooperativa Agropecuaria Regional “Tosepan Titataniske” (Sociedad Tosepan Titataniske (STT)). Metodología: se realizó un análisis de caso a partir de la revisión física de la situación social y ambiental en territorio, así como de la verificación de los esfuerzos colectivos para enfrentar la problemática ambiental que les afectaba. Resultados: se observó que los procesos comunitarios se orientan al desarrollo solidario con participación colectiva, mientras que las REA son proyectos focalizados en objetivos de recuperación ambiental con una participación social más limitada. Limitaciones: como principal, y más importante, dificultad para la realización de este trabajo fueron los riesgos por la crisis sanitaria que obstaculizaron algunas de las visitas, entrevistas y consultas. Conclusión: tanto los esfuerzos sociales como el interés del Estado manifiestan efectos positivos para la recuperación ambiental territorial, pero el tejido social solamente puede restablecerse cuando se reconoce la importancia de la participación colectiva en la planeación y desarrollo de estos proyectos.
Prognostic and diagnostic significance of the cardiac biomarker NT-proBNP in the perioperative period of vascular surgery procedures
Authors: Kozlov I. A. , Sokolov D. A. , Lyuboshevsky P. A.
Published: October 2023

The objective was to study the dynamics of NT-proBNP blood level during the perioperative period of vascular surgery and to study the association of this biomarker level at the stages of treatment with developed cardiovascular complications (CVC).

Materials and Methods. The study involved 129 patients aged 66 [61–70] years who underwent elective vascular surgery. NT-proBNP blood level was determined at stages: I – before surgery, II – 24 hours after surgery, III – before discharge from the hospital. Correlation analysis, logistic regression and ROC-analysis were used for data processing.

Results. Median NT-proBNP (pg/ml) at stage I was 54[42–215], stage II – 149[63–298] (p1–2 = 0.0001) and stage III – 78[48–288] (p1–3 = 0.037). NT-proBNP blood level at stage I correlated with the biomarker level at stages II (rho = 0.558, p < 0.0001) and III (rho = 0.689, p < 0.0001). The biomarker was associated with CVC at all stages: I – OR 1.0048, 95% CI 1.0021–1.0074, p < 0.0001, AUC 0.825; II – OR 1.0040, 95% CI 1.0020–1.0060, p < 0.0001, AUC 0.820; III – OR 1.0026, 95% CI 1.006–1.0046, p = 0.015, AUC 0.687. At stage I, NT-proBNP > 218 pg/ml was a CVC predictor (sensitivity 82%, specificity 85%), this biomarker level was registered in 30 (23.2%) patients; at stage II, NT-proBNP > 281 pg/ml was associated with CVR (sensitivity 81%, specificity 80%), at stage III NT-proBNP > 158 pg/ml was associated with CCC (sensitivity 79%, specificity 65%).

Conclusions. After vascular surgery, the median NT-proBNP value increases significantly, remaining within the reference limits, and does not de[1]crease until the patients discharge from the hospital. The perioperative NT-proBNP dynamics may differ in patients with different initial biomarker levels. In 23.2% of vascular surgical patients, the preoperative NT-proBNP blood level increased to a level of more than 218 pg/ml, indicating CVC risk (very good quality predictor model). After surgery, the level of NT-proBNP associated with CVC (very good quality model) exceeds 281 pg/ml. Prior to discharge of patients from the hospital, the association of NT-proBNP with CVC is characterized by a moderate quality model (AUC 0.687). The prognostic significance of the biomarker at this stage of surgical treatment needs further research.

Published: October 2023

The objective wasto evaluate the efficiency of the highly realistic simulator “Test Chest” in training residents in the specialty “Anesthesiology and Resus-citation” in the alveolar recruitment maneuver and the de-escalation option for setting positive end-expiratory pressure in ARDS during a practical session.

Materials and methods. The study included 28 residents of the first year of study in the specialty «Anesthesiology and Resuscitation», who  were divided into two groups. The 1st group – residents who were given theoretical classes before the study: lectures and a seminar on the topic:  «Respiratory support in ARDS» and the 2nd group (simulation) – in addition to the lectures, the trainees had preliminary practical classes in the  simulation center with a demonstration of the method of selecting ALV parameters in ARDS and independent performance of the alveolar recruit[1]ment maneuver, setting the positive pressure at the end of exhalation. In the simulation center, students were offered a situational task, the solution  of which involved determining the clinical picture and selecting the necessary ALV parameters. The evaluation was carried out by two teachers  independently using a checklist modified for objective student evaluation.

Results. In the 1st group, 4 (28%) trainees coped with the task, in the 2nd group, in 13 cases (95%), the task was successfully completed. In the course  of the study, the trainees of both groups revealed difficulties in selecting ALV parameters in ARDS, which required a more detailed consideration  of these issues, both in theoretical and practical classes.

 Conclusion. The use of the highly realistic simulator “Test Chest” in the selection of ALV parameters in ARDS during a practical session makes it  possible to increase the effectiveness of training in the alveolar recruitment maneuver and the de-escalation option for setting positive end-expiratory  pressure in ARDS for residents in the specialty “Anesthesiology and resuscitation”.

Published: October 2023

Background: There are several clinical studies examining the health advantages of several single medicinal herbs utilized in traditional blood glucose-lowering treatments. But very few or no studies on herbal formulations were made as Polyherbal for the same goal. As a result, it is now necessary to confirm that patients with hyperglycemia can benefit from such Polyherbal medicines as Dolabi. Methods: This prospective open-label, herbal coded test drug-controlled, randomized trial was conducted at the Munshiganj and Dhaka area in Bangladesh. We enrolled 108 male and 104 female patients of 30-70 years with primary and moderate hyperglycemia. They were recruited from the OPD of an Unani & Ayurvedic hospital in Munshiganj and different Unani clinics in Dhaka, Bangladesh after fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Patients were randomly assigned to receive metformin hydrochloride 500 mg two times daily and 2 tablets of Dolabi two times daily by using a random numbers table with the help of an assistant. Blood samples, height, weight, blood pressure, and personal data were recorded—laboratory results were obtained at the study baseline, after 1.5 months and after 3 months of intervention. Results: In the case of the test drug, results showed a significant decrease in blood glucose level between the baseline and after 3 months, in males, it was from 9.83±1.17 to 7.72±1.06 mg/dL for fasting glucose, from 16.60±2.35 to 8.23±1.17 mg/dL for 2 hours PP glucose, from 9.33±1.17 to 7.45±2.03 percent for HbA1c and for Insulin it reduces from 183.10±27.59 to 168.10±29.59 pmol/ L. The control drug metformin hydrochloride also showed a significant decrease in blood glucose level between baseline and after 3 months, in the case of males it was from 9.99±2.52 to 6.97±1.76 mg/dL for fasting glucose, from 17.43±5.05 to 7.89±2.42 mg/dL for 2 hours PP glucose, from 10.43±2.36 to 6.87±1.18 percent for HbA1c and for Insulin it reduces from 198.75±30.61 to 183.75±30.61p mol/L. In the case of females the test drug showed a significant reduction in fasting glucose, 2 hours PP glucose, HbA1c and Insulin between the baseline and after 3 months, it was from 10.02±1.11 to 7.78±0.93 mg/dL, from 16.88±2.21 to 8.16±1.11 mg/dL, from 9.84±1.04 to 7.45±1.03 percent and from 199.47±30.90 to 173.47±30.90 mg/dL respectively. In the case of females, the control drug showed a significant reduction in fasting glucose, 2 hours PP glucose, HbA1c and Insulin between baseline and after 3 months, it was from 10.18±1.92 to 6.71±1.59 mg/dL, from 18.70±3.88 to 7.60±3.74 mg/dL, from 10.58±1.08 to 6.98±1.08 percent and from 200.00±31.83 to 188.00±31.83 mg/dL respectively. Conclusions: We can infer the following from the present study’s findings: The polyherbal formulation Dolabi is able to reduce the blood glucose level. It can be an effective drug for primary hyperglycemic patients.
Analytical Hierarchy Process for the Selection of A Square: the Case Study of Konya City
Authors: Altay Büşra , Arısoy Nurgül
Published: October 2023

Rapid population growth, industrial and technological development, and improvement in the social and economical conditions of people have increased their need for socializing, gathering, and relaxing with various recreational activities and mutual communications. The sustainable development of social life has increased the importance of squares as public spaces, which brings the citizens together for cultural, commercial, and political purposes; thus, giving an identity to the city and becoming the focal point of urban life. The selection of an area as a square is based on certain criteria. The decisions regarding the choice of the location and their use as squares must be per the internationally accepted criteria. We studied four squares, namely Mevlana Square with historical background, Hükümet Square, Anıt Square, and Kılıçarslan City Square with a high demand for social events. The squares are considered to be important and comprehensive titles for evaluating their comparative functions under the selection criteria of visuality, functionality, and accessibility. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to determine the importance of the selection criteria of squares in a survey with participants for solving the problem and selecting the best square according to these criteria. By performing the AHP analysis, we found that the most preferred square by the participants was the Mevlana Square with a preference rate of 58.68%, and the most preferred criterion was “visuality” with a preference rate of 64.5%. In this study, we aimed to determine the characteristics of a preferable square to improve the existing squares and to contribute to the stages of a new square design, planning, and implementation.
Modeling of The Nitrogen Requirement of Winter Wheat for Protein Content Using Optical Sensor in Central Anatolia Region of Türkiye

Published: October 2023

Chlorophyll meters manage both the amount and duration of nitrogen fertilizer application based on the principle that the chlorophyll or nitrogen content of plants should be maintained throughout their development. For smallholders in developing countries, the use of a hand-held meter to manage nitrogen fertilizer in rice and wheat is the most popular method. The adoption of nitrogen management strategies based on close sensing using chlorophyll meters and optical sensors will largely depend on the inclusion of specific economic analysis in future research. The importance of using sensors and chlorophyll meters for nitrogen fertilizer management depends on how successful current practices have been. In this study, five different nitrogen rates (0, 80, 120, 160, 200 kg N ha-1) were applied to two different wheat varieties, and the effect of these different nitrogen rates on wheat protein content was investigated in a randomized block design. A quadratic polynomial model described the relationship between protein content and nitrogen rates.

Published: October 2023

This study maintains that learners' perspective and reactions towards learning any subject including Translation is of a vital importance to achieve the objectives and outcomes of that subject. This study aims at drawing a picture of translation teaching from students' point of view and exploring students' skills in translating to assess the existing methods and to reconsider objectives behind teaching this or that translation course. In order to achieve the aims of the study a questionnaire consisting of 22 items was given to 49 students; 40 (20 boys and 20 girls) from the English Department; and nine students (five boys and four girls) from the Translation Department, College of Humanities, University of Duhok, Iraq to find out their reactions on different issues related to the teaching and learning of translation at their departments. The items of the questionnaire tried to explore issues related to culture, courses, texts, exams, teachers and students' reactions and strategies used in translation. Accordingly, it has been found out that students gain benefits from the assigned course as it seems to develop their language and translation skills through their focus on cultural factors and proper equivalents in the process of translation. Translation courses might be considered as a resource for students' vocabulary enrichment, style improving in addition to text type knowledge with reference to strategies adopted for each as well as improving students' skills in both language and translation. Focusing on the daily language is also of vital importance in acquiring language and translation competency.
