Authors: İsmailoğlu Semiha , Beşgen Asu
Published: September 2024

Simülasyon Kuramı ile tanınan Fransız sosyolog ve filozof Jean Baudrillard, döneminde aykırı düşünceleri ile dikkatleri üzerine çekmiştir. Baudrillard, gerçek kavramının için zamanla değişime uğradığını söylemiş ve hipergerçek bir evrende yaşadığımızı belirtmiştir. Gerçek algısının değiştiği hipergerçek bir evrende mekân kavramının da değişime uğradığı yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Araştırma amacı; Jean Baudrillard’ın basılı eserlerindeki gerçek kavramına dair söylemleri ve eserlerinde mekân özelinde yer verdiği binalar üzerinden mekân gerçekliğini okumak ve tanımlamaktır. Araştırma; nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden içerik analizi yöntemini kullanmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda, örneklemi belirlenmek üzere MAXQDA programı kullanılarak frekans analizleri yapılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda mimarlık özelindeki eserlerde yer alan binalar üzerinden Baudrillard’ın söylemleriyle mekân gerçekliği kavramının tanımı tartışılarak; gerçeğin değişimi üzerinden nesnel gerçek ve bütünsel gerçek adında bir ayrım yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak Baudrillard’a göre mekân gerçekliği; tasarım kurgusu, tasarımın bir bütün olarak var oluşunun düşündürdükleri ve yapılış amacı üzerinden kendisini göstermektedir.

Fusobacterium nucleatum: Unraveling its potential role in gastric carcinogenesis
Authors: Petkevicius Vytenis , Lehr Konrad , Kupcinskas Juozas , Link Alexander
Published: September 2024

Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum ) is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium that plays a key role in the development of oral inflammation, such as periodontitis and gingivitis. In the last 10 years, F. nucleatum has been identified as a prevalent bacterium associated with colorectal adenocarcinoma and has also been linked to cancer progression, metastasis and poor disease outcome. While the role of F. nucleatum in colon carcinogenesis has been intensively studied, its role in gastric carcinogenesis is still poorly understood. Although Helicobacter pylori infection has historically been recognized as the strongest risk factor for the development of gastric cancer (GC), with recent advances in DNA sequencing technology, other members of the gastric microbial community, and F. nucleatum in particular, have received increasing attention. In this review, we summarize the existing knowledge on the involvement of F. nucleatum in gastric carcinogenesis and address the potential translational and clinical significance of F. nucleatum in GC.

During the last glaciation, the area of the modern White Sea was covered by the White Sea Ice Stream. In the southern part of the Kola region, this stream moved in an easterly and ortheasterly direction, and its northern periphery bordered on a low-active glacial lobe. During the maximum of the last glaciation and during the stages of its reduction, ice marginal formations of the Terskie Keivy were formed at this boundary. The Terskie Keivy contains both marginal push-moraine formations with glaciotectonic deformations and systems of marginal eskers. In the western part of the region, the position of the glacier margin is marked by a chain of glaciofluvial deltas. During the Younger Dryas cooling, several glacial lobes were active in the region, the marginal zone of which was mainly located in the periglacial-marine basin. The correlation of the ice marginal formations in the Kola region allows us to determine six main stages of glacier reduction in the Vepsa, Krestsy, Luga (Karelia), Neva (Syamozero) stages, as well as in the Salpausselkä Stage I and II.

The article is devoted to the history of the development of the Pre-Baltic Sea stages at the turn of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. It is shown that, despite the long history of studying this issue, there are still white spots that prevent the formation of an accurate and complete paleogeographic picture. A brief history of the development of the most ancient stages of the Pre-Baltic Sea is given. The problems of the low level of study of the sediments of the Baltic Ice Lake and the Yoldia Sea, as well as the maximum level of the Ancylus Lake transgression, are revealed. Such problems include the small number of dated transgressive/regressive contacts and the lack of accurate absolute marks of the runoff thresholds of some of the studied lakes.

Based on lithostratigraphic studies of sections and borehole cores, 14C and OSL dating, it is shown that alluvial and aeolian sedimentation took place in the middle and lower Vychegda valley throughout the Late Pleistocene, and the valley was not occupied by either glacier or proglacial lakes. The MIS 2 proglacial lake was locally distributed in the Northern Dvina valley. Reversal runoff through the Vychegda-Kama watershed could occur only at the end of MIS 6, when the middle and lower Vychegda was covered by ice sheet and a proglacial lake existed in the Keltma spillway crossing the watershed.

Diatom analysis of sediment core from Lake Krasnoe (Leningrad region) allowed to define the sedimentation stages in the lake basin during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. The Late Pleistocene stage is characterized by a monodominant, low-diversity diatom complex, low bioproductivity, dominance of anaerobic conditions in the water column, as well as high sedimentation rates. The sedimentation conditions were unstable but more optimal for the development of diatoms and increasing of species diversity during the Early Holocene. At thesame time the amount of dissolved nutrients increased, sediment income from the watershed decreased and redox conditions stabilized. The water level in Lake Krasnoe experienced fluctuations, being both an independent lake and part of Baltic Ice Lake and Lake Ladoga.

Published: September 2024

Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental changes. The most recent sediments are well suited for assessing the anthropogenic impact on lakes and the natural environment around them. The report presents data on the accumulation of heavy metals in the sediments of the small lake Terskoe, located in the south of the Murmansk region near the coast of the White Sea. Based on the analysis of the chemical composition of the sediment column of the water body, increased concentrations of Pb, Cd, Sb, Ni and Cu were established in the upper layers of the studied sediments compared to the lower layers and background of the region. Despite the remoteness of the lake from industrial enterprises and populated areas, the identified anomalies are associated with human activity. The key factor is the long-range atmospheric transport of pollutants entering the environment, in particular from emissions from plants.

Renewable energy sources, including wind, hydro, solar, and tidal power, are experiencing a growing global focus. Given the escalating ubiquity of expansive solar arrays, it is crucial to prioritize the dependability and structural soundness of the supporting frameworks for solar panels. The current study examined the effects of different wind loads on the lateral stability of frames of sup- port made for solar panels using the finite element approach. The research examined wind speeds ranging from 72 to 144 kmph, and the calculation of wind forces was performed using mathematical approaches. The results of our investigation demonstrate that wind loads significantly influence the structural soundness of solar panels, resulting in noticeable enhancements in total deformation and maximum equivalent stresses. The investigation findings indicate that the points of intersection within the supporting structure of the solar panel saw the highest levels of stress equivalence. Moreover, it was observed that the structural deformation exhibited greater prominence in the central and foundational areas. The research investigation has yielded valuable insights into the spatial patterns of stress and defor- mation, two critical parameters that play a pivotal role in the design, durability, and efficiency of support systems for photovoltaic modules. The implications of these findings carry considerable weight regarding the future progress of large-scale solar arrays, hence requiring further investigation to optimize the design and functionality of the supporting frameworks.

Each branch has nuances , differentiating it in the most miniscule ways. As leaves sprout out of innumerable nodes , it ingeniously represents the evolving nature of academics. Wherein each discovery or invention creates a ripple effect in academics. While I have only experienced the finance and business side of academics , The surrealness of penetrating the boundaries of education stays alive in me. For approximately 3 years , I have dedicated time and effort into dissecting my patterns of studying , results , and conducting research - primary and secondary- between Isolation and its effect on academics and learning experiences. Although the relation may seem one dimensional , it delves deeper into the studies of psychology and academics. This project has been intellectually stimulating for me.

Published: September 2024

This paper aims to define the main determinants of petroleum products export from Niger in the light of the specificity of the country, in order to make recommendations to policy-makers for improving oil revenues. To carry out this work, we started by interviewing stakeholders in the Niger trade using an interview guide. This was followed by a literature review and exploration of previous empirical work on various studies devoted to the determinants of exports. Finally, statistical data from a number of sources were processed. The main results, derived from the estimation of the OLS gravity model, show that the factors that strongly influence Niger's exports are transport distance and its economic weight when put in relation to that of trading partners. The main recommendations towards policy-makers arising from our research are: the creation of a new refinery close to Burkina Faso and Mali, increased oil production and the ongoing improvement of road transport infrastructure.

In humans, most severe and common type cancer is skin cancer. Skin cancers are basically 3 types: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and Melanoma. Among these Melanoma is dangerous skin cancer. Melanoma is classified as two types: Benign Melanoma and Malignant Melanoma. If Melanoma can be identified in early stages it can be cured easily. The conventional method for detecting Melanoma is very painful. In this study deep learning techniques like CNN is used to detect Melanoma. CNN consists of convolutional layers, pooling layers and fully connected layers. Both training and testing of images can be done using CNN. ISIC Archive 2017 dataset is given to the network. By comparing different number of epochs and batch size, accuracy is noted. Highest accuracy 88.89% is achieved at 45 epoch count and batch size 2.

Agronomic management is one of the prime controlling factors to improve productivity. A study was conducted at Cereal Crops Research Institute Pirsabak Nowshera during 2021-22 growing season to standardize crop orientation (North-South and East-West), Row spacing (15, 20 & 30 cm), Seed rate (100, 115 and 130 kg ha-1) and fertilizer (0:0:0, 40:30:20, 80:60:40, 120:90:60, 160:120:80 and 200:150:100 N: P2O5: K2O kg ha-1) in a split plot design replicated thrice. Row orientation did not affect yield and related parameters while row spacing positively affected 1000 seed weight and biological yield whist fertilizer dose and seed rate had improved wheat yield and its attributes. Maximum grain yield (4228 kg ha-1), seed weight (46.79 g), productive tillers m-2 (429) and plant stature (111 cm) were recorded when fertilized with 160-120-80 kg N:P2O5:K2O ha-1.  For seed rate, maximum grain yield (3266 kg ha-1), grain weight (41.72 g), total biomass (7756 kg ha-1) and taller plants were recorded when sown at 130 kg ha-1 seed rate. Maximum productive tillers m-2 was observed with 100 kg ha-1 seed rate. All factors showed significant interaction affecting yield and yield attributes. Row orientations affected yield and its components in interaction with fertilizer application, seed rate and row spacing showing a slight edge of the East-West over the North-South row orientation. In conclusion, East-West row direction, fertilizer application at 160:120:80, 30 cm row spacing, and 130 kg ha-1 seed rate could be recommended for acquiring wheat production under the agro-climatic conditions of Nowshera District, Pakista

Background: Massage therapy is included as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). However, it displayed varying degrees of success. Pre-existing psychosocial impairments may be one of the possible factors affecting the treatment response. This preliminary study aimed to investigate the relationships between psychological factors and treatment outcomes of massage therapy in myogenous TMD patients.
Methods: Twenty-two myogenous TMD patients were enrolled in this single-arm preliminary study. Baseline psycho social assessment was done using self-report measures associated with chronic pain severity, depression, anxiety, and non- specific physical symptoms. Massage therapy including the intraoral and extraoral massage of the face and neck muscles was performed twice a week for 4 weeks. Pain intensity and quality of life related to oral health were evaluated as treatment outcomes before and im mediately after eight sessions of massage therapy.
Results: Regression analyses showed a significant effect of depression on changes in the quality of life after massage (β = 0.35, p-value = 0.026). In addition, results showed a significant effect of chronic pain severity on changes in the pain intensity following massage (β = 1.50, p-value = 0.027).
Conclusion: Our findings suggested that psychosocial characteristics of myogenous TMD patients should be considered as important factors that may adversely affect pain intensity reduction and quality-of-life improvement after short-term massage therapy.

Tidal Disruption Events from Stripped Stars

Published: September 2024

Observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) show signs of nitrogen enrichment reminiscent of other astrophysical sources such as active galactic nuclei and star-forming galaxies. Given that TDEs probe the gas from a single star, it is possible to test whether the observed enrichment is consistent with expectations from the CNO cycle by looking at the observed nitrogen/carbon (N/C) abundance ratios. Given that ≈20% of solar-mass stars (and an even larger fraction of more massive stars) live in close binaries, it is worthwhile to also consider what TDEs from stars influenced by binary evolution would look like. We show here that TDEs from stars stripped of their hydrogen-rich (and nitrogen-poor) envelopes through previous binary-induced mass loss can produce much higher observable N/C enhancements than even TDEs from massive stars. Additionally, we predict that the time dependence of the N/C abundance ratio in the mass fallback rate of stripped stars will follow the inverse behavior of main-sequence stars, enabling a more accurate characterization of the disrupted star.
