Attention Mechanism Model Combined with Adversarial Learning for E-commerce User Behavior Classification and Personality Recommendation
Authors: Rana Dr.Sharif Uddin Ahmed
Published: September 2023

In traditional e-commerce websites, consumers’ evaluation of products will affect new customers’ decisions on whether to buy the products. Some fraudulent merchants manipulate consumers’ online comments for their interests, and multitudes of fake comments abuse consumers’ rights and interests and the development of traditional e-commerce. The purpose of the present work is to detect and identify fake comments through user behavior classification. A series of innovative research works are carried out around the user behavior recognition task from four aspects: extraction and description of low-level behavior features, spatial representation of high-level user behavior, design of behavior classification model, and user behavior detection in unsegmented text. A feature extraction model based on the super-complete independent component analysis algorithm and a behavior classification model via attention mechanism are proposed. Moreover, a feature source discriminator is designed, and adversarial learning is used to optimize discriminator loss and generator loss. Finally, an experiment is implemented to test the effects of attentional mechanism and adversarial learning on the text retrieval model and visualize the results. In this experiment, the text retrieval algorithm based on a stacked cross-attention mechanism and adversarial learning retrieves the Microsoft Common Objects in Context (MS-COCO) and Flickr30K data sets on mainstream transmedia. The experimental results demonstrate that the stacked cross-attention mechanism has an excellent matching ability of fine-grained hierarchical features; the average accuracy of the algorithm after improvement increases from 81.23% to 83.11%. Besides, the prediction accuracy coverage is above 95%, which can significantly improve the predicted effect of text characteristics and image features, thus enhancing the accuracy of text retrieval and classification. The research has a certain experimental reference value for the classification and discrimination of business users’ behavior.
Sentiment Analysis of Opinions about Online Education in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq during COVID-19
Authors: Sami Maryam , Hassani Hossein
Published: September 2023

Sentiment analysis is widely used in various areas and has versatile applications. For example, it is used in market research, customer retention strategies, and product analysis, to name a few. Although a few works on the topic exist for the Kurdish language, similar to other fields in Kurdish processing, it is not well-studied, and particularly it suffers from data inadequacy. In this paper, we present research we conducted to analyze the sentiments of learners/educators toward online education during COVID-19 in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We collected the data from tweets tweeted in Kurdish (Sorani) up to March 2022. We used four Machine Learning algorithms: Naïve Bayes, SVM, Random Forest, and Logistic Regression, and analyzed their performance on our dataset. We retrieved about 600 tweets, which after preprocessing, yielded 511 items. We conducted five experiments, four of which included testing all algorithms using two scenarios of balanced and unbalanced datasets of positive/negative items, each using 80/20 and 90/10 training/testing data splitting methods. The fifth experiment included four parts, setting a limit for feature selection starting at 500 features and increasing it to 500 at a time until 2000 features, testing for both 80/20 and 90/10 data splitting approaches. The results showed that the best algorithm to build a sentiment analysis model is SVM, with an accuracy of 89% and a maximum feature selection of 1000. The dataset is publicly available for non-commercial use under CC0 1.0 Universal license.

Authors: Kudryavcev Nikolay
Published: September 2023

Abstract. The purpose is testing of a new method of etching flax seeds with a new fungicidal drug with a long-term protective effect of “Sistiva”. Methods. Tested during field experiments on registration tests of pesticides and determination of the economic efficiency of using the results of scientific research in agriculture. The relevance and national economic significance of the development are determined by its relevance to the agroindustrial complex of Russia with the possibility of increasing the efficiency of flax seed etching, replacing old preparations with new ones, contributing to the improvement of biological and economic indicators of flax cultivation technology. The scientific novelty of the research is associated with the priority of searching for acceptable technological methods, including effective plant protection measures, for the flax growing of the Russian Federation. Results. A fungicidal seed protectant “Sistiva” (0.5 l/t), new for flax growing, was identified, which confirmed in field registration tests the long-term protective effect claimed in preliminary experiments and statistically significantly exceeded the effectiveness of the standard seed protectant TMTD (4 l/t). The indicators of the influence of these chemicals on the manifestation of diseases of flax seedlings (anthracnose, ozoniosis (mottling)) and maturing flax plants (anthracnose, septoria (pasmo), aureobazidiosis (polysporosis)), on the yield of flax products are analyzed. In a production environment with the use of an automated etching machine PS-10A, an effective reliable decrease in the manifestation of flax diseases and an increase in its yield associated with the use of the “Sistiva” preparation are shown. In the production experience, he surpassed in biological efficiency and a positive effect on the yield of flax products – the basic seed protectant TMTD. The economic effect of the new recommended option in comparison with the basic one was +15,257 rubles/ha. The environmental and sanitary-hygienic advantages of the use of “Sistiva” over the previously practiced seed etching with toxic chemicals are noted.
Retail Banking Service Quality and Customer Loyalty: The Role of Trust and Commitment as Mediators
Authors: Redda Ephrem Habtemichael , Van Deventer Marko
Published: September 2023

This research examines how service quality, trust, commitment, and loyalty are related in retail banking. The study proposes a model that includes trust and commitment as mediating factors between service quality, and bank loyalty. The researchers collected data from 271 participants and used a descriptive design and quantitative approach to analyse the data. The study utilized the PROCESS macro-Version 3.5 to conduct the mediation analysis. The results indicate that service quality in retail banking has a positive impact on customer trust and commitment, which, in turn, predict customer loyalty. The mediation analysis reveals that trust and commitment play a significant role in mediating the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty. Since the direct effect of service quality on loyalty remained significant after the intervention/mediation of trust and commitment in the model, the mediation is interpreted as partial mediation. Findings of the study do provide a marketing guide to banking professionals who design and implement banking solutions in the retail banking environment.

These variables have been reviewed based on available cutting-edge literature and collected a priori from Mexican higher education institutions. Cognitive elements serve as precursors to competitiveness; however, comprehending this necessitates an analysis of the cognitive asset from a dimensional perspective, wherein formal and informal knowledge criteria are scientifically established as explicit and tacit knowledge.
Taking cues from ecological and evolutionary theories to expand the landscape of disgust
Authors: Love Allegra , Heckley Alexis , Webber Quinn
Published: September 2023

1. Individual animals can attempt to prevent or mitigate parasite risks by altering their behaviour or space use. Behavioural change in response to the presence of parasites in the environment generates what is known as the “landscape of disgust” (analogous to the predator-induced “landscape of fear”). Using a spatial description of cues that indicate parasite risk, and characterizing individual responses to those cues, can allow researchers to quantify and interpret how hosts navigate the landscape of disgust. The landscape of disgust framework could facilitate much needed research on the ecological impacts of parasitism, advancing the fields of disease, spatial, and behavioural ecology. 2. Despite the potential for improving our inference of host-parasite dynamics, three key limitations of the landscape of disgust restrict the potential insight that can be gained from current research. First, many host-parasite systems will not be appropriate for invoking the landscape of disgust framework. Second, existing research has primarily focused on immediate choices made by hosts on small scales, limiting predictive power, generalizability, and the value of the insight obtained from the landscape of disgust framework. Finally, relevant ecological and evolutionary theory has not been integrated into the framework, challenging our ability to interpret and understand the application of the landscape of disgust within the context of most host-parasite systems. 3. In this review, we explore the specific requirements for implementing a landscape of disgust framework in empirical systems. We propose an expansion to the landscape of disgust framework that integrates principles from habitat selection and evolutionary theories, aiming to generate novel insight. To discuss the integration of classic ecological and evolutionary theory, we explore how the landscape of disgust varies both within and across generations, presenting opportunities for future research. 4. Despite recent interest in understanding the impact of parasitism on animal behavioural, spatial, and movement ecology, many unanswered questions remain. We build on the landscape of disgust framework by identifying weaknesses and possible applications in different ecological and evolutionary contexts. We encourage researchers to implement this framework empirically to further our understanding of host-parasite systems.

A Case of Huge Congenital Cholesteatoma of Petrous Apex Treated With Translabyrinthine Marsupialization
Authors: Park Jaehyung , Park Euyhyun , Im Gi jung , Jung Hak Hyun
Published: September 2023

Congenital cholesteatoma is rare, and especially so for a benign mass to grow from the squamous epithelium and the petrous apex as a location for this cancer. Surgery of the petrous apex cholesteatoma is challenging due to the location of the lesion and the need to preserve adjacent structures such as the dura mater, internal carotid artery, and internal auditory canal. Imaging studies, including CT and MRI, were crucial in guiding the surgical approach. This report describes a 40-year-old male patient with a large congenital cholesteatoma involving the petrous apex and temporal bone. The patient presented with a headache, hearing loss that persisted despite prior medical treatment. The cholesteatoma was surgically marsupialized through translabyrinthine approach, and the patient has remained stable for over 20 years. This report underscores the importance of considering the anatomical location and relationships of the lesion and adjacent structures when determining the surgical approach for congenital cholesteatoma involving the petrous apex and temporal bone.

Published: September 2023

Background and Objectives We evaluated the current status of percutaneous steroid injection (PSI) procedure for benign vocal fold lesions performed in Korea in order to achieve consensus about the indications, contraindications, anesthesia, complications, and the role of PSI.Subjects and Method An email-based questionnaire survey consisting of 11 questions was administered to 20 experienced laryngologists.Results The most commonly used indication was small vocal nodule (32.7%). The most common contraindication was vocal fold lesion with atrophy (46.9%). Triamcinolone injection under local anesthesia by cricothyroid was usually used in the PSI procedure. Following the procedure, vocal fold atrophy was the most prominent complication (39.1%). The role of PSI is still not well established; however, most laryngologists considered it to be an adjunctive treatment (61.9%).Conclusion The survey results provide an insight into the general consensus of opinion about PSI that guidelines for the indications, contraindications, anesthesia, and complications associated with this treatment option should be facilitated.

Authors: Yoo Jae-Ho , Kim Tae-Gyun , WhangBo Chang-Ho , Ye Mi-Kyung , Shin Seung-Heon
Published: September 2023

Background and Objectives Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the common causes of fungal airway inflammatory diseases and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) acts as key regulator of airway inflammation. In addition, bacterial and fungal biofilm commonly coexist in chronic rhinosinusitis. In this study, we evaluated the effect of LPS on the development of A. fumigatus biofilm formation on the nasal epithelial cells.Materials and Method Primary nasal epithelial cells were cultured with A. fumigatus conidia with or without LPS for 5 days. The production of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 from nasal epithelial cells was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The effects of LPS on A. fumigatus biofilm formation were determined using biofilm dry weight, and crystal violet, concanavalin A, safranin staining, and confocal scanning laser microscopy.Results LPS and A. fumigatus significantly enhanced the production of I L-6, I L-8, and TGF-β1 from nasal epithelial cells. <i.A. fumigatus can form biofilm on primary nasal epithelial cells, and this significantly increased in a time-dependent manner when cocultured with LPS, the dry weight, concanavalin A, and safranin staining.Conclusion The exposure of A. fumigatus to LPS enhanced the formation of biofilms. The coexistence of LPS and A. fumigatus enhanced fungal biofilm formation and this may be associated with the development of recalcitrant airway inflammatory diseases.
Agronomic Comparisons of Herbicides with Different Active Ingredients and Mechanical Hoeing for Weed Control in Oleic and Linoleic Type Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Hybrids
Authors: ÖNEMLİ Fadul , TETİK Ümit
Published: September 2023

Weeds cause serious yield losses in sunflower production. The most common methods for weed control are herbicide application and mechanical hoeing. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of five traditional herbicides containing different active ingredients compared with mechanical hoeing for weed control on seed yield components, seed oil content, and fatty acid composition in sunflower. Field experiments were conducted in the sunflower growing seasons of 2014 and 2015 on farmer fields in Karamusul village of Lüleburgaz, Kırklareli, located in the Northwest of Turkey (40°24’ N, 27021 E and elevation 46 m). Pre-plant herbicide Bonoflan WG with benfluralin, pre-emergence herbicide Stomp®Extra with pendimethalin, and post-emergence herbicides Challenge600 with aclonifen and Targa Super with quizalofop-p-ethyl active were applied on non-Clearfield sunflower hybrids (P64LL05–Linoleic and P64H34–High oleic) while post-emergence herbicide Intervix®Pro with imazamox was applied on Clearfield hybrids (LG5542CL-Linoleic and Colombi–High oleic). In the results, the year effects were statistically significant on plant height, head diameter, number of days from planting to 50% flowering, and percentage of stearic acid of Clearfield cultivars while it was significant on plant height, head diameter, stem diameter, 1000 seed weight, number of days from planting to 50% flowering, seed yield, seed oil content, percentage of oleic and linoleic acids of non-Clearfield cultivars. The effect of genotype was significant for all seed yield and oil components except seed weight and seed yield for both groups’ cultivars. Intervix®Pro caused significant decreases in plant height, stem diameter, and percentage of stearic acid. Stomp®Extra decreased the number of days from planting to 50% flowering. Challenge 600 had a negative effect on the seed oil content of P64H34 in 2015. There was no significant difference between herbicide applications and mechanical hoeing for seed yields except for increasing seed yield of P64H34 by Bonaflan WG in 2015. For all herbicide applications, residue in seeds was not exceeded international acceptable limits. According to the results, herbicides especially post-emergence applications under stress conditions can adversely affect agronomic yield and seed oil components in sunflower.

Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is one of the major fruit crop with high socioeconomic importance for Turkey. In vineyards, many harmful organism, especially virus infections, weaken the plant and lead to decreases in yield and quality, so it takes the lead in quarantine and certification. This study was carried out to determine some viral agents that cause yield loss in vines produced in Tokat, where viticulture is very important. Samples were collected from young leaves and one-year-old shoots of grapevines showing virus symptoms from some vineyard areas in Tokat Center and its districts. Collected 189 grapevine samples were subjected to the RT-PCR test, which is a molecular method using virus-specific primers, to detect the presence of Grapevine pinot gris virus (GPGV), Grapevine virus A (GVA), Strawberry latent ringspot virus (SLRSV). Out of a total of 189 plant samples, 80 (42.32%) of GVA, 3 (1.58%) of GPGV were detected and SLRSV (0%) was not detected. More than one virus was found in 2 (1.05%) of 189 tested samples. It was determined that the most common virus was GVA, the least detected virus was GPGV in plant samples collected from Tokat Center and its districts. Bidirectional sequence analysis of RT-PCR products of GVA-infected isolates were performed and phylogenetic analyzes were done by comparing them with reference isolates after they were aligned with the MEGAX computer program. Based on phylogenetic analysis studies, GVA showed differential branching with isolates registered in GenBank and isolates obtained in the study. GVA-infected isolates showed similarity with reference isolates at rates of 92-94%. In this study, molecular analysis of Turkish GVA isolates was performed. This molecular information is important as it will shed light on future studies.

The quality of agricultural crops is influenced by growing conditions and post-harvest processes, including drying. Moreover, the total phenolic and total antioxidant content in the product's structure and composition can be either positively or negatively affected by the heat treatments applied during drying. Additionally, the specific growing conditions and methods of water removal can lead to the development of distinct drying characteristics. There was no study comparing the drying kinetics and quality parameters of organic (OBC) and conventional (CBC) black carrot in the literature studies. In this study were aimed that mathematically modelling the drying kinetics for OBC and CBC with IMW (150, 300, 450 W) and HA (60, 70, 80°C), determining their differences and evaluating the effects of methods on quality properties. The results showed that L* and ΔE values of the final products increased significantly by increasing the power and temperature levels applied during drying and the powder samples were lighter in color compared to the fresh samples. The total phenolic and total antioxidant capacity values were higher in fresh OBC samples compared to the conventional variety. This result shows that OBC is superior to the CBC in terms of higher total phenolic and total antioxidant content. The activation energy (Ea) values of OBC and CBC dried by IMW and HA were calculated as 8.41x10-3; 8.40x10-3 Wg-1 and 25.50; 19.72 kJ mol-1, respectively. The Logistic and Verma were the best fit models for describing IMW and HA drying kinetics, respectively. The samples obtained with IMW drying, which resulted in a shorter drying time, were more effect in terms of preserving and increasing the total phenolic and antioxidant content compared to dried samples with HA. The results showed that that the temperature/power levels applied to the products during the drying process, thus the drying times and the methods of removing moisture from the product are effective in the preservation of the total phenolic components.

Published: September 2023

Enerji ekonomistlerine göre ekonomik büyüme ve kalkınmanın temelinde enerji faktörü yatmaktadır. Bu yaklaşımda enerji tüm mal ve hizmetlerin üretimi sürecinde olmazsa olmaz bir üretim faktörü olarak kabul edilmektedir. Ayrıca kalkınmanın başlangıcında tarımsal faaliyetlerin ön planda olduğu, tarımdan sanayiye sanayi sektöründen de hizmet sektörüne doğru bir yapısal dönüşümün gerçekleştiği bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte gerek son yıllarda dünya ekonomisinde yaşanan gelişmeler gerekse tarım sektörünün ülkede kilit fonksiyonlar görmesi nedeniyle pek çok ülke bu sektörün gelişimine özel bir önem atfetmektedir. Tarım sektörünün gelişim göstermesi bu sektör tarafından kullanılan enerji miktarının da artırılması ihtiyacını gündeme getirmektedir. Enerji maliyetlerinin günden güne artış göstermesi tarım sektörünü zora sokmakla birlikte artan enerji tüketiminin ülkenin ekonomik büyümesini nasıl etkileyeceği bir araştırma konusu olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Enerji tüketimi-ekonomik büyüme ilişkisini araştıran literatür bu konuyu sektörel bazda nadiren ele almaktadır. Bu bağlamda; tarım sektöründeki enerji tüketiminin ekonomik büyümeyi etkileyip etkileyemeyeceği önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışma tarımsal enerji tüketimi-ekonomik büyüme ilişkisini Türkiye ekonomisi için 1990-2018 döneminde araştırmayı amaçlar. Değişkenlerin durağanlık analizi için kullanılan ADF ve PP birim kök testi sonuçları değişkenlerin birinci farkında durağan hale geldiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Değişkenler arasındaki uzun dönem ilişkisi yeni nesil testlerden biri olan Hatemi J-Irandoust saklı eşbütünleşme testi kullanılarak araştırılmaktadır. Değişkenlerin katsayıları ve nedensellik ilişkisi sırasıyla FMOLS tekniği ve saklı hata düzeltme modeli ile incelenmektedir. Bulgular tarımsal enerji tüketimi + bileşeni ile ekonomik büyüme + bileşeni arasında bir eşbütünleşmenin varlığını göstermektedir. Bulgular aynı zamanda tarımsal enerji tüketimi + bileşeni ile ekonomik büyüme + bileşeni arasında pozitif bir ilişkinin varlığını işaret etmektedir. Son olarak ekonomik büyüme + bileşeninden tarımsal enerji tüketimi + bileşenine doğru işleyen tek yönlü bir nedensellik söz konusudur. Bu sonuçlar, Türkiye’nin ekonomik büyümesinde tarımsal enerji tüketiminin etki sahibi olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışma, Türkiye ekonomisinin büyümesi için tarım sektörü ile ilişkili bazı politika tavsiyeleri sunabilmektedir.

Published: September 2023

In solar energy systems that use solar panels, it's important to know the best tilt angle to optimize solar energy production. Monthly, seasonal, and annual optimum tilt angles were determined in this study using meteorological insolation data from many years in the provinces of Tekirdag and Konya, which are located in different regions of Turkey. At optimum tilt angles, monthly, seasonal, and annual total radiation on the tilted surface were 1516.7 kWh m-2 year-1, 1504.1 kWh m-2 year-1 and 1448.1 kWh m-2 year-1 in Tekirdag, respectively. In Konya, these values were 1851.4 kWh m-2 year-1, 1833.51 kWh m-2 year-1 and kWh m-2 year-1, respectively. In the seasonal and annual optimum tilt angles, there was an approximately 1% and 5% loss in the total radiation values on the tilted surface, respectively, according to the monthly optimum tilt angle. In addition, the coefficients of the relationship between the monthly mean daily radiation on the tilted surface and the tilt angles were determined for each month using the cubic regression model in both provinces. The Cubic regression model coefficients are computed for each month in the provinces of Tekirdag and Konya. All months in both provinces had R2 (Coefficient of determination) values of 0.999 for the Cubic model. To determine whether there is a difference between the total amounts of radiation reaching the tilted surface for each month at the best tilt angles obtained by the two methods, the t-test was used. The monthly average daily radiation values on the tilted surface obtained by the two methods at the best tilt angles in both provinces have not been found to differ statistically (p>0.05; t=0.001).
Structure and content of the current state of the criminal hierarchy in places of deprivation of liberty
Authors: Kutyakin Sergey , Morozov Aleksey
Published: September 2023

The article examines the structure and content of the criminal hierarchy of convicts (prisoners in custody) held in places of deprivation of liberty of the Russian penal system. It is concluded that each convict (remanded in custody) has an individually defined, informal legal status, which is given to him by representatives of the highest level of the criminal hierarchy on the basis of subcultural norms of the criminal world - "concepts". Attention is drawn to the fact that each level of the criminal hierarchy has its own sublevels (subgroups), which are characterized by intra-group equality of their members and their unequal position in relation to representatives of another hierarchical level (another subgroup).
