Removable Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Based on Acrylic Telomer Syrups
Authors: Weisbrodt Mateusz , Kowalczyk Agnieszka
Published: March 2023

Removable pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are used in the production of self-adhesive materials such as protective films, masking tapes or biomedical electrodes. This work presents a new and environmentally friendly method of obtaining this type of adhesive materials, i.e., photochemically induced free radical telomerization. Adhesive binders to removable PSAs, i.e., the photoreactive acrylic telomer syrups (ATS) were prepared from n-butyl acrylate, acrylic acid, and 4-acrylooxybenzophenone. Tetrabromomethane (CBr4) or bromotrichloromethane (CBrCl3) were used as the telogens. ATS was modified with unsaturated polybutadiene resin and a radical photoinitiator. Adhesive compositions were coated onto a carrier and UV cross-linked. The effects of the chemical nature of telomers (i.e., terminal Br or Cl atoms) and their molecular weight (K-value), as well as the cross-linking degree on adhesive properties of PSAs, were studied. It was found that with the increase in telogen content in the system, the dynamic viscosity of ATS and K-value of acrylic telomers decrease, and the conversion of monomers increases. CBr4 turned out to be a more effective chain transfer agent than CBrCl3. Moreover, telomers with terminal Br-atoms (7.5 mmol of CBr4), due to slightly lower molecular weights and viscosity, showed a higher photocrosslinking ability (which was confirmed by high cohesion results at 20 and 70 °C, i.e., >72 h). Generally, higher values of the temperature at which adhesive failure occurred were noted for PSAs based on ATS with lower telogen content (7.5 mmol), both CBr4 and CBrCl3. The excellent result for removable PSA was obtained in the case of telomer syrup Br-7.5 crosslinked with a 5 J/cm2 dose of UV-radiation (adhesion ca.1.3 N/25 mm, and cohesion > 72 h).
Location Privacy-Preserving Scheme in IoBT Networks Using Deception-Based Techniques
Authors: Alkanjr Basmh , Mahgoub Imad
Published: March 2023

The Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT) refers to interconnected battlefield equipment/sources for synchronized automated decision making. Due to difficulties unique to the battlefield, such as a lack of infrastructure, the heterogeneity of equipment, and attacks, IoBT networks differ significantly from regular IoT networks. In war scenarios, real-time location information gathering is critical for combat effectiveness and is dependent on network connectivity and information sharing in the presence of an enemy. To maintain connectivity and guarantee the safety of soldiers/equipment, location information must be exchanged. The location, identification, and trajectory of soldiers/devices are all contained in these messages. A malicious attacker may utilize this information to build a complete trajectory of a target node and track it. This paper proposes a location privacy-preserving scheme in IoBT networks using deception-based techniques. Dummy identifier (DID), sensitive areas location privacy enhancement, and silence period concepts are used to minimize the attacker’s ability to track a target node. In addition, to consider the security of the location information, another security layer is proposed, which generates a pseudonym location for the source node to use instead of its real location when sending messages in the network. We develop a Matlab simulation to evaluate our scheme in terms of average anonymity and probability of linkability of the source node. The results show that the proposed method improves the anonymity of the source node. It reduces the attacker’s ability to link the old DID of the source node with its new DID. Finally, the results show further privacy enhancement by applying the sensitive area concept, which is important for IoBT networks.

Published: March 2023

Of particular interest within fifth generation (5G) cellular networks are the typical levels of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by ‘small cells’, low-power base stations, which are installed such that both workers and members of the general public can come in close proximity with them. In this study, RF-EMF measurements were performed near two 5G New Radio (NR) base stations, one with an Advanced Antenna System (AAS) capable of beamforming and the other a traditional microcell. At various positions near the base stations, with distances ranging between 0.5 m and 100 m, both the worst-case and time-averaged field levels under maximized downlink traffic load were assessed. Moreover, from these measurements, estimates were made of the typical exposures for various cases involving users and non-users. Comparison to the maximum permissible exposure limits issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) resulted in maximum exposure ratios of 0.15 (occupational, at 0.5 m) and 0.68 (general public, at 1.3 m). The exposure of non-users was potentially much lower, depending on the activity of other users serviced by the base station and its beamforming capabilities: 5 to 30 times lower in the case of an AAS base station compared to barely lower to 30 times lower for a traditional antenna.

Published: March 2023

Accurately detecting early developmental stages of insect pests (larvae) from off-the-shelf stereo camera sensor data using deep learning holds several benefits for farmers, from simple robot configuration to early neutralization of this less agile but more disastrous stage. Machine vision technology has advanced from bulk spraying to precise dosage to directly rubbing on the infected crops. However, these solutions primarily focus on adult pests and post-infestation stages. This study suggested using a front-pointing red-green-blue (RGB) stereo camera mounted on a robot to identify pest larvae using deep learning. The camera feeds data into our deep-learning algorithms experimented on eight ImageNet pre-trained models. The combination of the insect classifier and the detector replicates the peripheral and foveal line-of-sight vision on our custom pest larvae dataset, respectively. This enables a trade-off between the robot’s smooth operation and localization precision in the pest captured, as it first appeared in the farsighted section. Consequently, the nearsighted part utilizes our faster region-based convolutional neural network-based pest detector to localize precisely. Simulating the employed robot dynamics using CoppeliaSim and MATLAB/SIMULINK with the deep-learning toolbox demonstrated the excellent feasibility of the proposed system. Our deep-learning classifier and detector exhibited 99% and 0.84 accuracy and a mean average precision, respectively.

[Context] The goal of security is to protect digital assets, devices, and services from being disrupted, exploited or stolen by unauthorized users. It is also about having reliable information available at the right time. [Motivation] Since the inception in 2009 of the first cryptocurrency, few studies have been undertaken to analyze and review the state-of-the-art research and current developments with respect to the security of cryptocurrencies. [Purpose] We aim to provide both theoretical and empirical insights into the security landscape, in particular focusing on both technical solutions and human-related facets. [Methodology] We used an integrative review which could help in building science and scholarly research, the basis for conceptual and empirical models. [Results] Successful defense against cyberattacks depends on technical measures on the one hand, as well as on self-education and training with the aim to develop competence, knowledge, skills and social abilities, on the other. [Contribution] Our findings provide a comprehensive review for the major achievements and developments of the recent progress on the security of cryptocurrencies. [Future research] Since there is increasing interest in adoption of the current solutions within the central bank digital currencies, the future research should explore the development and inception of effective measures against social engineering attacks, which still remain the main concern.

Emergency Remote Teaching and Social–Emotional Learning: Examining Gender Differences
Authors: Avissar Nissim
Published: March 2023

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic entailed a sudden shift to remote learning. Teachers had to adjust instantly to a new reality and acquire new tools for emergency remote teaching. The present research studied the perceptions and stances of teachers following this change. It focused on aspects of personal experience and teachers’ perceptions of the students and the educational relations, and it also examined gender differences. An online questionnaire built to this end addressed different aspects of the switch to emergency remote teaching. The findings reveal a variety of stances and perceptions about the change. The research participants thought that the students faced a need to increase their self-learning. However, they did not sense a significant change in their self-perception and the quality of educational relations. Yet, significant differences emerged between the teachers based on gender. Male teachers reported more difficulty making the switch than their female colleagues. The research shed light on the link between remote teaching and Social–Emotional Learning (SEL). On a practical level, it calls for integrating social–emotional learning components in teacher training frameworks and promoting remote teaching professional skills.
From Industry 4.0 to Construction 5.0: Exploring the Path towards Human–Robot Collaboration in Construction
Authors: Marinelli Marina
Published: March 2023

Industry 4.0 is a recent trend representing the vision for the integration of information, objects and people in cyber-physical scenarios in order to transform factories into intelligent environments. Although this transition is still ongoing, the corresponding vision of Industry 5.0 has already emerged. Industry 5.0 aims to bring the human factor back into the production system, with the collaborative work paradigm of human–robot collaboration (HRC) at its core. This paper first discusses how Industry 4.0 has conceptually evolved and is being implemented in the context of construction, through the lens of a literature review and bibliometric analysis. Additionally, it clarifies the scope of Industry 5.0 and assesses its momentum as a literature trend, drawing on bibliometric comparisons with the Industry 4.0/Construction 4.0 vision. Furthermore, it makes a realistic assessment of the potential of the Industry 5.0 paradigm to evolve into Construction 5.0. In this context, it reviews the prospects of HRC use in construction, highlights its distinct challenges and proposes new directions. This paper is, to the author’s best knowledge, the first consideration of ‘Construction 5.0’ and the first bibliometric analysis comparing data from Industry 4.0, Construction 4.0 and Industry 5.0 literature.
New-Onset Arthritis Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Systematic Review of Case Reports
Authors: Liu Jie , Wu Hui , Xia Sheng-Li
Published: March 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine has effectively suppressed the spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and alleviated its symptoms, but there are also many adverse events. Joint diseases caused by COVID-19 vaccine have been reported in many studies. Some are well-controlled arthritis patients who developed arthritis after COVID-19 vaccination, while others are new-onset joint pain and swelling problems after COVID-19 vaccination. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the literature reports in existing databases and analyze the incidence of new-onset arthritis after COVID-19 vaccination. We included 31 eligible articles and described 45 patients, ranging in age from 17 to over 90, with more females than males. The majority (84.4%) of patients received the adenovirus vector vaccine (ChAdOx1) and the mRNA-based vaccine (BNT126b2 and mRNA-1273). Most (64.4%) patients developed joint-related symptoms after the first dose of vaccine, and 66.7% developed symptoms within the first week of vaccination. The joint symptoms involved were mainly joint swelling, joint pain, limited range of motion, and so on. A total of 71.1% of the patients involved multiple joints, both large and small; 28.9% of patients involved only a single joint. Some (33.3%) patients were confirmed by imaging, and the most common diagnoses were bursitis and synovitis. Two nonspecific inflammatory markers, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), were monitored in almost all cases, and all patients showed varying degrees of increase in these two markers. Most of the patients received the treatment of glucocorticoid drugs or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Clinical symptoms markedly improved in most patients, with 26.7% making a full recovery and no relapse after a few months of follow-up. To determine whether there is a causal relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and the triggering of arthritis, large-scale and well-controlled research studies are needed in the future to verify this relationship and to further study its pathogenesis in detail. Clinicians should raise awareness of this complication with a view to early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Published: March 2023

Elevated anti-apolipoprotein A-1 (AAA1) antibody levels associated with cardiovascular risk have been observed in previously SARS-CoV-2-infected or COVID-19-vaccinated individuals. Since patient safety is generally a priority in vaccination, we sought to investigate AAA1 antibody levels in healthy adults after mRNA vaccination. We conducted a prospective cohort study in healthy adult volunteers recruited from military workers of the Transport Air Base in Prague who had received two doses of mRNA vaccines. Anti-apolipoprotein A-1 antibody levels were determined using ELISA from serum samples obtained at three and four time points after the first and second vaccine doses, respectively, within almost 17 weeks of follow-up. The transient AAA1 positivity rate achieved 24.1% (95% confidence interval CI: 15.4–34.7%), i.e., 20 out of 83 participants had at least one positive post-vaccination sample, with a repeat positivity confirmed in only 5 of them. This rate was associated with a BMI > 26 kg/m2, as documented by an adjusted odds ratio of 6.79 (95% CI: 1.53–30.01). In addition, the highest positivity rate of 46.7% (21.3–73.4%) was observed in obese subjects with >30 kg/m2. Since the incidence rate of AAA1 positivity remained unchanged after the first and second vaccine doses, any relationship between AAA1 positivity and mRNA vaccination was inconclusive. The present study showed a transient AAA1 positivity rate associated with overweight or obesity without a proven association with mRNA vaccination.

Published: March 2023

The transition dairy cows are challenged by various stresses such as decreased dry matter intake, liver dysfunction, increased inflammation, and oxidative stress, particularly in subtropical regions. These might increase the requirement for vitamin E and trace elements. To examine whether supplementation of vitamin E, selenium or copper, zinc, and manganese complex would help transition dairy cows to achieve greater reproduction performance by overcoming the immune function and postpartum disorders in subtropical Taiwan. A total of 24 Holstein Friesian dairy cows were enrolled in this study and divided into three groups (n = 8 cows/group): treatment 1 supplemented with organic selenium and vitamin E (SeE), treatment 2 supplemented with organic copper, zinc, and manganese complex (CZM) and control (CON). The results showed SeE supplementation improved immune function, reproductive performance, and milk yield, but not negative energy balance status. Supplementation of CZM improved milk yield and energy regulation through antioxidative capacity and immune function, but had no influence on reproductive performance.

Parental experiences of eczema advice in online parenting forums: a qualitative interview study
Authors: Treadgold Bethan Mair , Muller Ingrid , Teasdale Emma , Coulson Neil , Roberts Amanda , Santer Miriam
Published: March 2023

Background

Parents of children with eczema are increasingly turning to online parenting forums for advice about how to manage it. Little is known about how parents make sense of advice about eczema treatments in online forums, and how it affects their management of childhood eczema.

Aim

To explore how parents of children with eczema make sense of and act on advice about eczema treatments exchanged in online parenting forums.

Design & setting

Qualitative interviews with parents of children with eczema from the UK.

Method

Fifteen parents were recruited through online advertisements and snowball sampling. Semi-structured interviews were carried out face to face or by telephone, and analysed inductively using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results

When seeking advice from online parenting forums about eczema treatments, parents described appraising the credibility of advice and considering the potential suitability of treatments that were recommended in the forum. Parents proceeded to make sense of online advice through either reading advice and not engaging in online discussions, or actively engaging in online discussions to direct topics and seek most relevant advice. Parents discussed advice received online in subsequent consultations with their GP and requested prescriptions of recommended treatments. Some parents described trying new treatments without consulting their GP.

Conclusion

Understanding how parents appraise, make sense of, and act on online advice could support healthcare professionals to disseminate advice appropriately, ask additional questions, and signpost parents to reliable online resources.
Bourgs et villages fortifiés de l’Isère, éléments pour une première synthèse
Authors: Clavier Annick , Moyne Jean-Pierre
Published: March 2023

The article attempts to present the state of knowledge on all types of fortified built-up areas, for the territory of the Isère department. Going back over a not quite finished piece of polymorphic research, which would require reworking, it endeavours to revisit the layouts established and to identify all of the (all too rare) archaeological operations concerning this question. After presentation of the corpus and methods, the article proposes an approach including the following points : -The place and role of the Parish Church in village development. -The relation between castle fortifications and village fortifications, with, in particular, the frequent existence of an unbuilt intermediate space. -Types of layouts : the predominance of long village shapes with a central thoroughfare stands out. The use of urban plans appears to be fairly constant and does not solely concern new towns. -Internal organisation : this point presents data concerning the walls and their defence, the unbuilt areas and the collective facilities.
Des petites villes du XIVe aux villages du XXIe siècle : les transformations d’Alet, de Caunes et de Lagrasse (Aude) révélées par l’inventaire du bâti
Authors: Foltran Julien
Published: March 2023

A principios del siglo XIV, los pueblos de Alet, Caunes y Lagrasse eran todavía pequeñas ciudades. Poco afectados por el reciente desarrollo urbanístico, rara vez se benefician de las operaciones arqueológicas necesarias para estudiar sus transformaciones. El inventario sistemático de los bienes inmuebles, siguiendo un método adaptado a la cuestión de las transformaciones, compensa la ausencia de excavaciones preventivas o de seguimiento de las obras. Este paciente trabajo, de varios meses de duración, sólo fue posible gracias al apoyo de los habitantes de dichos lugares. El carácter multidisciplinar del enfoque, que combina datos del inventario con textos de los siglos XII al XVIII y antiguos planos georeferenciados, permite finalmente tener una visión bastante precisa de las transformaciones de estas tres aglomeraciones, que han seguido ritmos similares.

Published: March 2023

A group of theory-driven computing techniques known as natural language processing (NLP) are used to interpret and represent human discourse automatically. From part-of-speech (POS) parsing and tagging to machine translation and dialogue systems, NLP enables computers to carry out various natural language-related activities at all levels. In this research, we compared word embedding techniques FastText and GloVe, which are used for text representation. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of word embedding in text classification using LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory). The research stages start with dataset collection, pre-processing, word embedding, split data, and the last is deep learning techniques. According to the results of the experiments, when compared to the glove technique it seems that FastText is superior, the accuracy obtained reaches 90%. The number of epochs did not significantly improve the accuracy of the LSTM model with GloVe and FastText. It can be concluded that the FastText word embedding technique is superior to the GloVe technique.
POSTCOLONIAL “OTHERNESS”
Authors: Dimitrijovska-Jankulovska Anita , Denkovska Milica
Published: March 2023

In this paper the category of Otherness has been concerned for those who occupy the subordinate position in society, which have been presented as inferior in terms of knowledge and abilities, which implies that they need the leadership of those who are, by definition, more capable, more educated, more advanced, more civilized, more merciful, etc. On this way, the hierarchy of representations is established, thus justifying the existing ones power relations in society as well as the unequal treatment of those who are represented as inferior. The concept of Otherness within the framework of postcolonial criticism is used to describe the rest of the world, i.e., everything that does not fall within the scope of Europeans, as one homogeneous mass characterized by ugly features. Otherness in postcolonial criticism refers to colonized peoples who are marginalized by the imperial and identified by their difference from the center. Any area that is not part of European soil is considered inferior, dangerous and less valuable. However, in the understanding of the Other, a duality is also noticeable, since he is sometimes considered wild, harmful and mysterious, and sometimes harmless. Hybridity, mimicry, ambivalence are terms which are used in postcolonial analysis. The colonizers tried to categorize the colonized population, and the formation of hybrid patterns prevented that process, since new cultural forms were emerging that no longer corresponded to the descriptions of the colonizers. Colonizers have been the part of Occident and the colonized nations are the Orient or the Others or the category of Otherness. Sharing the same space, Orient and Occident influenced each other, which resulted in the transfer of elements from one culture to another. The fruit of this is the emergence of an intermediate space and a hybrid identity, which is characterized as a simultaneous affection for two or more different and opposing identity patterns, but does not fully belong to any of them.

Published: March 2023

The legal relationship between men and women in marriage is a legal relationship which in law always gives rise to legal rights and obligations. Both the husband’s rights or wife’s rights. All of which are clearly regulated in marriage in law number 01 of 1974 and compilations of islamic law. Legitimate marriages of state law are marriages registered in the state through the office of religious affairs or KUA. Whereas marriages that are not registered in a country are commonly reffered to as sirri marriages. Children born well in a legal marriage have inherent rights for children born namely inheritance rights. A legal problem arises where the inheritance rights cannot be clearly devided due to the vague legalism of the sirri marriage.

Divorce is the final path that must be taken in resolving domestic disputes and troubles, where the fracture of the household is no longer possible to restore, even if allowed to drag on, it is feared that it will cause the split of the families of both parties. The results of the review of Islamic law and positive law on the status of divorce talak that were passed outside the Bondowoso Religious Court, that the status of divorce talak outside the Religious Court in terms of Islamic legal aspects is not valid, even though it wins in classical jurisprudence, because talak is the absolute right of a husband. This kind of situation is viewed from the point of view of maintaining family interests, legal certainty and public order which does not create maslahat, even harms much, especially for women. Meanwhile, the view of the Head of the Bondowoso Religious Court on the legal status of divorce divorcees who were sentenced outside the Religious court is seen from the aspects of Islamic law and positive law is invalid, because it does not have legality issued by a religious court.
KETIDAKPATUHAN ISTRI (WANITA KARIR) TERHADAP SUAMI ( SEBUAH PENDEKATAN HUKUM KELUARGA ISLAM )
Authors: Arif Hariyanto  , Hasanah Halifatul
Published: March 2023

Nusyuz is one of the themes discussed in the Quran. This study focuses on the disobedience of career women in the perspective of Islamic law which prioritizes justice and the relationship between husband and wife. It can be understood that nusyuz is an act of neglecting the obligations of husband and wife that causes estrangement of relations in the household with the provisions, nusyuz action is carried out with certain motives, and aims to degrade the dignity of one party.

The more developed the situation, the more women's desire to move forward and develop their careers in the world of work. These working women are usually called career women, some of whom have different opinions regarding this, some allow it on conditions, and some do not absolutely allow it.

The issue of women is indeed the most actual thing to talk about considering times have changed, the mindset of humans has also changed, in this modern era there are still people who look down on women, and discriminate against them. Although there are many who are interested in conducting research related to this case. The natural privileges possessed by men and women lead to differences in functions, and the main roles between the two. Islam obliges a man as a husband to provide for his wife and children, however, it does not necessarily rule out the possibility that a woman as a wife also earns a living to fulfill the family economy. Islam itself places men and women in a balanced and equal position. The problem behind the misunderstanding between the two is that there is a misunderstanding in constructing the social roles between men and women as a result of the interpretation of the Qur'anic text in particular and it seems incomplete. While basically the relationship between husband and wife, men and women is a partnership, which must support each other.

he long-term outcomes of cellular cardiomyoplasty in patients with ischemic cardiac dysfunction were studied. The results of treatment of 45 patients aged 46–70 years, mean age is (56.8±19.7) years, who were hospitalized in the Emergency and Reconstmctive Cardiac Surgery Department of the "V.K. Gusak Institute of Emergency and Reconstmctive Surgery of NAMS of Ukraine" from 2007 to 2013 were analyzed. It was established that the transplantation of autologous mesenchymal bone marrow stem cells using the navigation system is a safe and effective procedure, that helps to increase the survival rates up to 35 (18–61) months compared to 12 (0.72-50.0) months in the group of pharmacological therapy (p value = 0.033). Also the reduction of mortality 36 months after the stem cells injection to 13.3% compared to 46.7% in the group of pharmacological treatment in the same terms was observed. To achieve the maximum effect of treatment, it is reasonable to repeat the procedure of autologous mesenchymal bone marrow stem cells transplantation 1 year later after the first procedure. Endomyocardial implantation of autologous mesenchymal bone marrow stem cells improves basic dimensions of life quality: physical functioning, pain intensity, usual activity and social functioning regardless of the initial severity of ischemic dysfunction.

Dynamics of C-reactive protein blood level after herniolastics and simultaneous operations depending on the methods of perioperative support
Authors: Parkhomenko K.Yu.
Published: March 2023

The dynamics of C-reactive protein (CRP) blood level after hemioplasty and simultaneous interventions with principles of "Fast-track surgery" in the perioperative period was studied. The dynamics of CRP blood level in 60 patients in whom the principles of "Fast-track surgery" were applied, including a thorough examination before the operation to diagnose combined abdominal pathology and clinically significant general somatic pathology; if necessary, prescribe a course of therapy for full compensation of general somatic pathology; during the operation of epidural prolonged anesthesia; choice in favor of laparoscopic technology; at the end of the operation of irrigation of the subphrenic space by local anesthetic; after surgery: early removal of drainage, opioid withdrawal with the appointment of parenteral paracetamol; in inguinal hemioplasty – prolonged local anesthesia after surgery; activation of the patient in 6-8 hours after operation; on the day of surgery – the use of chewing gum and fluid intake and from the first day – intake of low-calorie liquid food. Traditional perioperative management methods were used in 67 patients. It was found that in patients who underwent hernia plastics, there is an increase in the concentration of CRP in the postoperative period, which is one of the manifestations of the systemic inflammatory response, and especially pronounced after simultaneous operations. The use of the principles of «Fast-track surgery» in the complex of perioperative support contributes to better normalization of CRP concentration and faster elimination of the manifestations of systemic inflammatory response.

Eurasian Trade of Coffee During the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Authors: ALmaani Abd-ALRazzak Mahmoud
Published: March 2023

This article examines the volume of the Eurasian trade in coffee exported to Europe, especially Yemeni coffee and the commercial developments that occurred in this commodity during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This research indicates that the entry of such a strategic commodity as coffee into Eurasian trade, and the competition between European commercial companies, brought about a profound change in the nature of economic relations between the two continents. This was accompanied by an important shift in European political positions and interests towards Asia. The article tries as much as possible to draw a picture, even if an approximation, of the commercial operations that were taking place in order to export it abroad. The research touched on the currencies and weights of different nationalities – Portuguese, English, Dutch, and Indians – in circulation due to the commercial activity during the period under discussion. Some of its people and the people of the surrounding areas, including Arabs, Persians, Turks, and others, also carried out commercial activity in the area, and there is no doubt that all of them paid for the goods and merchandise they bought, which made the area teeming with different types of money.
Sınıf Öğretmenliği Lisans Programı Ders İçeriklerinin Ana Dili Eğitimi Açısından Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: KARA Kürşad
Published: March 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı sınıf öğretmenliği lisans programı ders içeriklerinin ana dili eğitiminin temel ölçütlerine uygunluğu açısından değerlendirmektir. İlköğretim, bireyin ana dili eğitimini örgün olarak aldığı ilk basamaktır. Birey ilköğretimde dilin dört temel becerisine dayalı temel bilgileri öğrenir. Bu beceriler arasındaki ilişkileri kavrar ve geliştirir. Temeli doğru atılan ana dili eğitimi bireyi hayata karşı daha donanımlı bir duruma getirecektir. Bireye ana dili eğitimini ilk olarak veren öğretmenler sınıf öğretmenleridir. Bu nedenle sınıf öğretmenliği lisans programı ders içeriklerinin ana dili eğitimi açısından yeterli düzeyde olması gerekir. Ana dili eğitimi ve öğretimi sürecinin öncelikli amacının dinleme, konuşma, okuma, yazma becerilerinin gelişimini sağlayabilmek olduğu gerçeğinden yola çıkılarak bu dört temel dil becerisi ile ilgili derslerin sınıf öğretmenliği lisans programındaki yeri doküman inceleme yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Doküman incelemesi ile elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile tanımlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Sonuçta sınıf öğretmenliği lisans programının ana dili eğitimi için gerekli ders içeriklerine sahip olmadıkları görülmüştür. Ayrıca dört temel dil becerisini içeren derslerin kredilerinin yeterli düzeyde olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Sorunun giderilmesi için de sınıf öğretmenliği lisans programının dil eğitimi ve öğretimi kriterlerine göre tekrardan güncellenmesi önerilmektedir. Ayrıca dilin dört temel becerilerini geliştirecek uygulamaları içeren derslerin programda yer alması sağlanmalıdır.

Published: March 2023

This study reports on the ozone catalytic oxidation of dimethyl sulfide; a major odor material in wastewater facilities. A xenon excimer lamp (XEL) was used for ozone generation, and iodine compounds (I− and IO3
−) were utilized as a catalyst. The three types of activated carbon tested as catalysts were: activated carbon impregnated with iodine compounds and sulfate (AC-I/S), activated carbon impregnated with iodine (AC-I) and activated carbon without impregnation (AC). Only AC-I/S had catalytic activity in the dynamic adsorption experiment. The breakthrough time of dimethyl sulfide increased by 10 times upon adding ozone to the AC-I/S. Catalyst characterization by pH measurement and XPS analysis suggested that the catalytic activity of iodine compounds was influenced by the surface acidity. These results suggest that the XEL and AC-I/S are applicable for ozone catalytic oxidation in gas treatments.

The properties of echoes and transmitted waves from a fish body in megahertz bands were investigated to construct a fish detection method in a narrow path using a simple measurement structure using a pair of transducers. Experiments were performed in a water tank using dead Japanese jack mackerel (Trachurus japonicus). From the echoes, the outlines of fish could be observed. High amplitudes of echoes from the swim bladder and fins were observed, while relatively low amplitudes of echoes were observed from other body parts, e.g., the head, body surface, and vertebral columns. From the transmitted waves, decreased amplitudes and times-of-flight in waves transmitted from the fish body were observed. The fish could be detected using ultrasound, in megahertz bands, and the combined use of the echo and transmitted waves could increase the information obtained about fish compared with the use of echoes only.
Effects of GaN cap layer thickness on photoexcited carrier density in green luminescent InGaN multiple quantum wells

Published: March 2023

The effects of GaN cap layers on the optical properties of green luminescent InGaN-based multiple quantum wells were studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL peak energy under the selective excitation of the InGaN well layers was lower than that under the band-to-band excitation of the GaN barrier layers. The difference in the PL peak energies between the selective and band-to-band excitations decreased as the cap layer thickness increased, indicating an increase in the nonradiative recombination of photogenerated carriers in the barrier layers. Moreover, the internal quantum efficiency under selective excitation decreased as the cap layer thickness increased because of the increase in the internal electric field strength.

Published: March 2023

The material of spring registration surveys of the blue king crab Paralithodes platypus conducted in the Shelikhov Bay of the Okhotsk Sea from 2007 to 2019 is presented. It is proposed to use the relative abundance index (I%N) for a quick assessment of the characterizing state of the stock of the exploited population. The index I%N is defined as the ratio of the number of a separate functional group of the crab to the maximum number for this group of crab in the study period, expressed as a percentage. A similar algorithm was used to determine the index of the relative density of the distribution of crabs (I%P) and the index of the relative average daily catch of fishing vessels for the first half of the year (I%M). When comparing the relative indices I%N, I%P, I%M, the most convincing was the relative population index I%N. To assess the stock status of the studied functional group of crabs in the values of the index I%N, it was proposed to distinguish 4 quartiles (interval 25 units): 1st quartile (Q1) I%N <75 stock condition is good; 2nd quartile (Q2) I%N = 51–75 stock condition is satisfactory or relatively stable; 3rd quartile (Q3) I%N 26–50 stock status uncertain; 4th quartile (Q4) I%N ≤25 stock status is unsatisfactory or depressive. The boundary values between quartiles Q1–Q2, Q2–Q3, and Q3–Q4 are I%N values of 75, 50, and 25, respectively. The dynamics of the I%N index in the studied time period reflects the real process taking place in the fishing unit of the stock based only on empirical data.
A Case of Priapism After Intrathecal Morphine Injection
Authors: Cunicelli Marco , Piwowarski Elizabeth , Raju Tejal
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: Data on the frequency of priapism after spinal injections is lacking. Priapism may occur as a rare complication following intrathecal narcotic administration. This report describes an uncommon adverse reaction to intrathecal morphine injection uniquely without concurrent local anesthetic. CASE REPORT: A 74-year-old male presented to the pain management office for a scheduled intrathecal bolus trial to monitor for response prior to permanent placement of an intrathecal pump. Following an intrathecal injection of a bolus dose of 100 mcg of morphine, the patient noted the development of an erection lasting 8 hours. A diagnosis of intrathecal morphine-induced priapism was made. CONCLUSION: This report presents the first case in the literature of priapism induced by noncontinuous intrathecal morphine injection in the context of an intrathecal pump trial. A specific mechanism has not yet been defined; however, we believe multiple factors play a role in the body’s response to morphine.
