Authors: Anwar Romario Sameh Samir
Published: June 2023

Accurate and efficient classification of different types of cancer is critical for early detection and effective treatment. In this paper, we present the results of our experiments using the EfficientNet algorithm for classification of brain tumor, breast cancer mammography, chest cancer, and skin cancer. We used publicly available datasets and preprocessed the images to ensure consistency and comparability. Our experiments show that the EfficientNet algorithm achieved high accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores on each of the cancer datasets, outperforming other state-of-the-art algorithms in the literature. We also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the EfficientNet algorithm and its potential applications in clinical practice. Our results suggest that the EfficientNet algorithm is well-suited for classification of different types of cancer and can be used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of cancer diagnosis.

The Pattern of History and Fate of Humanity
Authors: McLoughlin Peter
Published: June 2023

​Every great nation eventually faces the war it fears most, and seeks to avoid. That’s as true today as any other time in history. We stand on the abyss of another world war. Can our fate can be changed – or is humanity doomed? "This book has come out of many years of research and is based on an experience in the late 90s, when I realized that the threat of global destruction had not died with the Cold War – only postponed – and now we are dangerously close to the precipice again. Will we step over into the abyss? I am pessimistic about the prospects. But I am aware there are many who believe our fate can be changed – that there’s hope. The Pattern of History explores the reasons I think humanity keeps returning to war in its most destructive." ​Peter McLoughlin

Measuring Effectiveness of Non-Motorized Vehicles on Spatial Extent for TOD Development: A Case Study for MRT 6 in Dhaka
Authors: Uddin Md. Anwar , Hoque Md. Shamsul
Published: June 2023

To improve the effectiveness of conventional walking-based Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), introducing Non-Motorized Vehicles (NMV)-based TOD will be a more efficient alternative since it will increase the spatial extent of the TOD node’s buffer area. This paper discusses the available Bicycle-based TOD (BTOD) concept. Based on this concept, the spatial extent of NMV-based TOD (NTOD) has been calculated. A trip-based survey has been conducted on the selected regions of Dhaka along the line of MRT 6 regarding who uses NMV (Rickshaw, Bicycle) and public transport (PT) for his daily commuting. A trip chain analysis was performed first to capture the trip pattern of daily commuters. From the trip chain analysis, it has been found that PT-based trip chains dominated the city’s entire trip chain. Consequently, it has also been found that walking-only and walking-NVM accessible trips dominate 32% and 23% of the entire PT trip chains. However, based on the findings of trip chain analysis to calculate the spatial extent by developing regression models, it has been observed that the access trip length for walking ranges from 1.2-1.4 km, whereas the access trip length for NVM ranges from 4-4.7 km. In Dhaka, the catchment area of NTOD can increase the accessibility potentially by spatial extent expansion of about 70% fro m the conventional TOD. Therefore, it can be inferred that NVM will give more spatial accessibility than walking. As a result, a new window of planning and design strategies will be opened for the planners and policymakers around TOD station area planning considering NMV. Along with strategic recommendations, limitations, and future research agendas have also been discussed in this paper.
Numerical Modeling of Low-Velocity Impact on Composite Laminates
Authors: Chanda Diganta , Islam Md. Ashraful
Published: June 2023

The response over the low-velocity impact of various shape impactors on a glass fiber reinforced polymer composite has been numerically analyzed with a hemispherical, flat, partially flat and truncated shaped impactor used to analyze the behavior of resistance of a GFRP composite at various speeds. The numerical analysis was carried out using finite element analysis software, ABAQUS (Dynamic/Explicit). To assess the response of the composite laminates while impacting, finite element models were developed. The Hashin failure criteria were used to represent braided glass-fiber reinforced composite plate damage. Regarding projectile shape, the impact reaction of the composite was examined. The results also show that the mechanical response of woven glass fiber polymer composite under low-velocity projectile impact largely depends on the impactor’s nose shape and the velocity of the impactor.

Published: June 2023

Raw salad vegetables have become very popular among consumers due to their multiple health benefits. The bacteriological quality of these salad vegetables is of great public health concern. This study was conducted to determine the presence of potential pathogenic and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in raw salad vegetables served in different restaurants in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. A total of 50 samples, comprising different types of raw salad vegetables were collected from restaurants in Mirpur (n=10), Dhanmondi (n=10), Old Dhaka (n=10), Gulshan (n=10) and Bashundhara Residential Area (n=10). The highest counts for total coliforms and fecal coliforms were 4.02 × 103 cfu/ml and 1.3×103 cfu/ml, respectively. The isolates were E. coli, total coliform, fecal coliform and Salmonella spp. Among them, fecal coliform and Salmonella spp. were found to be more pathogenic. As potential pathogenic bacteria, Salmonella spp. were tested for antibiotic sensitivity and all of them showed resistance against amoxicillin, ampicillin, azithromycin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, kanamycin, streptomycin, tetracycline, norfloxacin, and trimethoprim. The findings assist to understand the level of contamination of pathogenic and MDR bacteria in raw salad vegetables, which will create awareness of food safety and public health.
A Zero-Equation Model for External Aerodynamics
Authors: Rahman Md Mizanur , Zhang Xueting , Hasan K. , Chen Sheng
Published: June 2023

The zero-equation model (ZEM) has been generalized for aerodynamic applications by eliminating the thickness of boundary-layer (BL) dependency to construct the stress length parameter . The SED (Structural Ensemble Dynamics) postulate evaluates the  using the order function based on universal multi-layer structures for wall turbulence. The SED concept is further employed to optimize the profiles of the turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate with turbulent BL flows. Results demonstrate that the multi-layer ZEM receives a remarkable achievement in the prediction of wall-bounded turbulence and thus, prevails over the drawbacks encountered in most algebraic turbulence models.
Importance of Stress and Temperature-Dependent Permeability of Rocks and its Application in Underground Nuclear Waste Disposal
Authors: Alam AKM Badrul , Fujii Yoshiaki , Dipu Nahid Hasan , Sophea Boeurt , Rahim Afikah Binti
Published: June 2023

Water flow is an essential factor in the sealability of any underground cavern, including those for nuclear waste disposal, and is significantly affected by the permeability of the rock. The permeability of rocks is affected by various factors, including stress and temperature. The rock stress changes by excavating a cavern, and rock temperature changes by decay heat from nuclear waste, and the temperature change induces thermal stress. Therefore, water flow around such caverns must be evaluated considering the effects of stress and temperature. Numerical analyses of water migration around underground nuclear waste disposal caverns have been carried out. However, studies considering the stress and temperature-dependent permeability may not be published yet. To demonstrate the necessity to consider the stress and temperature-dependency in permeability, equations that represent the post-failure permeability as a function of average effective stress and temperature were proposed. The water inflow was numerically calculated for a simple underground nuclear waste disposal cavern with or without stress and temperature dependency which showed the significance of the dependency. Also, the importance of rock types was demonstrated by considering the three rocks of granite, sandstone, and tuff for a full-scale underground radioactive disposal site for the stress and temperature-dependent permeability. A high sealability could be expected for granite and sandstone but not for the tuff. Introducing the stress and temperature-dependent permeability could contribute to the thoughtful design of an underground repository for radioactive waste disposal considering rock types.

A flexible instrument with a wide range of possible uses is mathematics. The Queen of all sciences is mathematics. In our daily lives, mathematics is quite important. In the modern world, practically all discoveries and facts are tied to it. An equal progress in mathematics came before every major advancement in science. Nearly every area, including physics, engineering, finance, and many more, uses mathematics. Weather forecasting, teller machines, safe websites, video games, statistical data analysis, polls, and many more applications all use mathematics. From the beginning of human society, "geometry" has played a significant role. Early folks with tools studied the shape of the wheel in an effort to find a way to reduce friction. The "Father of Geometry," the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, named it after the combination of two words: "geo" for the earth and "metron" for balance. This paper aims to provide an overview of a few mathematical applications.

Published: June 2023

Hezl tür eserler, Dünya edebiyatının yanı sıra Doğu edebiyatında ve İslam âleminde tarihi süreç içinde önemli bir tür olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Hezliyyât kelimesi şaka, mizâh manasında Arapça hezl kökünden türemiştir. Hezliyyât ciddi mevzuların mizahî bir üslûpla ele alındığı bir türdür. Arap, Fars ve Türk edebiyatlarında bu türde kaleme alınmış birçok eser vardır. Bu eserlerin ortaya konması hem türün gelişinin tespit etmek hem de düşünce ve estetik etkilenmeler açısından önemlidir. Bu eserlerden biri de İbn Zeydûn er-Risâletü’l-Hezliyye risâledir. İbn Zeydûn er-Risâletü’l-Hezliyye risâlesini, vezir Âmir b. İbn Abdûs’a hitaben sevgilisi Vellâde’nin ağzından alaycı bir dille kaleme almıştır.

Memlükler döneminin önemli âlim ve ediplerinden olan İbn Nübâte el-Mısrî Endülüs edebiyatına küçük yaşlarda ilgi duymaya başlamış ve Endülüs edebiyatıyla ilgili ürünler ortaya koymuştur. Serhu’l-‘uyûn isimli eserinde İbn Nübâte, Endülüslü şair İbn Zeydûn’un yazdığı hezliyyât türü risâleyi şerh etmiştir.

Karahalil-zâde diye anılan Mehmed Said Efendi, İbn Zeydûn’un risâlesine İbn Nübâte el-Mısrî’nin yaptığı şerhin tercümesi olan Terceme-i Şerhu’l-‘Uyûn Fî Şerh-i Risâle-i İbn Zeydûn’u Türkçe’ye tercüme etmiştir. Bu çalışmada Terceme-i Şerhu’l-‘Uyûn Fî Şerh-i Risâle-i İbn Zeydûn adlı eserin tanıtımı yapılmıştır. Eser giriş ve iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Eserde Klâsik Türk Edebiyatındaki şerh geleneğinden, hezlden bahsedildikten sonra sonra İbn Zeydûn’un, İbn Nübâte’nin ve Mehmed Said Efendi’nin hayatına yer verilmiştir.
Mâtürîdî Ahlakına Felsefi Bir Bakış: Sevgi
Authors: Aksel Ruveyda
Published: June 2023

Sevgi, Mâtürîdî ahlak anlayışının dayandığı genel karakterlerden biridir. Ahlak içerisinde iradi bir eylem ön planda yer almış olsa da aslında bu eylem sevgi temeline dayanaklık etmektedir. Mâtürîdî’nin sevgi anlayışının temelinde, varlıklara sevginin Allah tarafından verildiğinin bilinmesi gerekliliği vardır. Çünkü insan fıtratında olan bu duygunun yani sevginin, sıradan bir yönelimin dışına çıkması ve insanı yücelten bir nitelik kazandırması bu temele dayanmaktadır. Mâtürîdî, her insanda doğuştan gelen bir güzellik eğilimi ya da güzel olana sevgi besleme gibi bir yatkınlığın olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Allah sevgisinin de insanda fıtri bir duygu olduğu düşüncesindedir. Yaratılıştan gelen bu duygu kişiyi ahlaki açıdan Rabbinin rızasını kazanma ve insanın Rabbini sevme düşüncesinden ayrı değildir. Kendisine karşı sevgi duyulan bir Allah düşüncesi kişide övülen ahlaki fiillere yönlendiren önemli bir unsur olarak görülmektedir. Bu temel sevgi anlayışının bilinmesi, kişinin kendisiyle yüceleceği bir erdeme dönüşmesine zemin hazırlamaktadır. Mâtürîdî’nin izahlarında genellikle fiilde sevgiyi Allah ile bağlantılı olarak ele aldığını görmekteyiz. Ayrıca sevgi erdemi (el-Fadl fi’l-Mevedde), bir fiili gerçekleştirirken Yaratan’ın memnun olması için onu severek yapmak ve sevmediği bir fiilden de sırf O memnun olmayacağı için uzaklaşmak düşüncesini içinde barındırır. Mâtürîdî’nin izahlarının genelinde Allah’tan korkma anlamında “takva” ve bu kökten türeyen kelimelerde içinde sevgiyi barındıran bir korku olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Ayrıca ifrat ve tefrite düşerek ‘orta yol’dan ayrılanın durumu da ‘takva’ya uygunluktan uzaklaşmakla eşittir. Öyle ki takvaya uygun olan fiilin ifrattan, tefritten uzakta ve ortada, dengeli olması gereklidir. Ayrıca Mâtürîdî adaleti ‘orta yol’ olarak tanımlar ve bir şeyin orta yolunun adalet üzere olmasına bağlar. Bir başka açıdan buna, ‘fiillerde hikmetli davranmak’ da diyebiliriz. Zaten Mâtürîdî’ye göre ‘Hikmet’ isabet etmek demektir. Yani her şeyin yerli yerine konulmasıdır. Mâtürîdî, kalpteki sevgi duygusunun hakikatinin bilinemeyeceğini ifade ederken insandaki muhabbet duygusunun da ancak kendisinden fayda gördüğü kişiye olacağını, fayda görmediği kişiye sevgi duyamayacağını ifade eder. Mâtürîdî’ye göre insan neyin kendisi için iyi olduğunu veya neyin kötü olduğunu, hakiki amaçlarının neler olması gerektiğini belirlemeye çalışan ve erdemli bir yaşayışı nasıl gerçekleştirmesi gerektiğini anlamlandırmakla görevli olan bir varlıktır. İnsanın ahlaki yapısına baktığımızda da hangi gayeler etrafında yaşam sürmesi gerektiğini, iyi ve kötünün, ödev ve sorumlulukların belirlenmesi gibi düşüncelerin insan varlığında ahlaki temel bir amaca dayandığını ya da dayanması gerektiğini görmekteyiz. Biz de bu çalışmamızda Mâtürîdî ahlakına felsefi bir bakışla kavramsal olarak sevgiyi nasıl anlamlandırdığını ele almaya çalışacağız.
Bir Metafizik Kavramı Olarak Yokluğun Umûr-ı ‘Âmmeye Dâhil Edilme Sebepleri
Authors: Yavuz Sercan
Published: June 2023

Umûr-ı ‘âmme, küllî ilim denilen metafiziğin meselelerinin işlendiği kavram ve konulara giriş başlığıdır. Genel konular, genel durumlar, genel kavramlar gibi anlamlara gelen bu başlık, müteahhirûn dönemi kelâmının mütekaddîmûn dönemi kelâmından farklılaşmasına sebep olan en ayırt edici özelliklerin başında gelir. Çünkü kelâm ilmi, Kindî, Fârâbî ve İbn Sînâ gibi İslam filozoflarının temsil ettiği Meşşâî felsefeyle etkileşimi neticesinde bu konuları tevârüs etmiştir. Fahreddîn er-Râzî’den önce kelamcılar eserlerinde mevcûd, ma‘dûm, kadîm, muhdes, şey gibi genel isim ve sıfatlar olmaları cihetiyle yer verilen bazı kavramları dağınık bir şekilde veyahut bir başlığa konu olmadan ele almışlardır. Umûr-ı ‘âmmeyi kendinden önceki birikimi de kullanarak kelâm-felsefe ilişkisine dayalı mezcedilmiş bir yöntem ve özgün bir içerikle ilk defa müstakil bir başlık olarak ele alan Râzî, umûr-ı ‘âmmeye kelâm ilminde önemli bir statü kazandırmıştır. Zira varlık, yokluk, mevcûd, ma‘dûm, mahiyet ve eklentileri, birlik, çokluk, zorunluluk, imkân, imkânsızlık, hudûs, kıdem, cevher, araz, illet ve ma‘lûl gibi soyut ve genel kavramların incelendiği bu başlık, Râzî’den sonraki kelamcılar tarafından yeniden ele alınmış ve eserlerinin başlangıç konuları haline gelmiştir. Nitekim ondan sonraki kelamcılar büyük oranda onun umûr-ı ‘âmme inşa ve düzenine uymuşlar veya oradan hareketle yeni bir tertip faaliyetinde olmuşlardır. Ayrıca onun çizdiği çerçeveye ek olarak umûr-ı ‘âmmeyi farklı şekillerde ve farklı açılardan tanımlamaya çalışmışlar ve beraberinde birtakım tartışmalara yer vermişlerdir. Umûr-ı ‘âmme kapsamında yer verilen kavramların umûr-ı ‘âmmeye hangi açıdan dâhil edildiği ya da hangi açıdan umûr-ı ‘âmmede inceleme (bahs) konusu yapıldığı, bu tanımlama çabalarının neticesinde oluşan tartışmalardan biridir. Söz konusu bu tartışma, bahsi geçen kavramlar silsilesinde bulunan mahiyet, imkânsız, yokluk gibi kavramlar etrafında gerçekleşmektedir. Tartışmaya konu olan bu kavramlar arasında özellikle yokluk kavramı başı çekmektedir. Bunun sebebi varlık kavramının hem en genel kavram olması hem de diğer kavramlarla olan ilişkisi nedeniyle umûr-ı ‘âmme içerisinde en çok yer verilen kavramlardan biri olmasıdır. Onun bu önemi kendisiyle birebir ilişkisi olan yokluk kavramını ön plana çıkartmıştır. Bu tartışmalar içerisinde yokluk kavramı bazen tek başına bazen imkânsızlık kavramıyla beraber bazen de dolaylı yoldan imkânsızlık kavramı üzerinden irdelenmiştir. Hatta öyle ki zamanla yokluk kavramının umûr-i ‘âmme içerisinde ne sebeple dâhil edileceği ve değerlendirileceği tek başına incelenen bir tartışmaya dönüşmüştür. Bu bağlamda çalışma, umûr-ı ‘âmmenin kavramsallaşma sürecine değindikten sonra, umûr-ı ‘âmmeyi farklı şekillerde tanımlayan filozof ve kelamcıların yokluk kavramını umûr-ı ‘âmmede inceleme biçimlerini ele alacak ve yokluğu umûr-ı ‘âmmeye hangi açıdan dâhil ettiklerini tespit etmeye çalışacaktır.

Optimal growth and development in infants can be initiated by providing proper nutrition. Exclusive breastfeeding is suitable nutrition for babies aged 0-6 months to avoid various things that hinder their growth and development. To face the breastfeeding period, a pregnant woman needs to be prepared for her knowledge and attitudes about exclusive breastfeeding. Health education provided by health workers requires appropriate media so that messages are more easily conveyed. Leaflets are easy media to develop. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health education using leaflets on the knowledge and attitudes of primigravida mothers about exclusive breastfeeding. The study design used one group pretest–posttest, with a sample size of 24 primigravida mothers. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The results of statistical calculations using the Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test obtained a sig 0.000 for differences in mothers' knowledge and a sig 0.001 for differences in mothers' attitudes about exclusive breastfeeding before and after being given health education using leaflet media. These results indicate that the research hypothesis is accepted. The use of leaflet media in health education can increase mothers' knowledge and attitudes about exclusive breastfeeding.

Purpose: Poor oral health is a known predictor of aspiration pneumonia in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and chronically ill. This study examined the feasibility of using myofunctional devices during a 5-week intervention for the management of oral care and dysphagia for residents in a residential aged-care facility. Method: Feasibility was determined through evaluation of study recruitment and retention rates, adherence to intervention, and resident and staff acceptability of the intervention. Thirteen residents, ages 74–99, participated in the intervention and 10 care staff completed feedback on post-intervention questionnaires. Results: Enrolment and retention rates were 61.9% and 92.3%, respectively. Adherence rates for use of the device were 92.6% at 3 weeks, and 89.3% at 5 weeks for the 12 participants who completed the protocol. The device was considered acceptable for ease of use, comfort, and amount of support required. Conclusion: Results indicate that further research exploring device use in an aged care population for the management of dysphagia and oral hygiene is feasible.
