Modeling and numerical simulation of gain of Nd-doped fiber amplifier in 1. 7um~1. 8um
Authors: Zhou Hequn
Published: December 2022

Fiber amplifier is an important piece of equipment to ensure the long-distance communication of optical fiber. The rare-earth ion-doped fiber amplifier is a hot issue studied in many articles. However, few articles investigate Neodymium-doped fiber amplifiers for 1.7μm optical signal amplification because of the low signal gain. Therefore, this paper establishes the system model of Neodymium ion to realize the optical signal amplification in the 1.7μm band. It establishes its mathematical model by using the equation of rate and power transmission equation and solves it numerically to realize the numerical simulation of Neodymium-doped fiber amplifier for 1.7μm optical signal amplification, and studies the simulation results, summarizes the amplifier properties, and fits the results to get the mathematical expressions. This paper finds that the plot of gain variation with fiber position contains a linear asymptote with a slope less than zero. The asymptote is related to the initial signal light and the optical power of the pump. Increasing the doping concentration will cause the optical signal to converge to this asymptote faster. The numerical fitting results in this paper can be applied to the estimation of gains as well as to generate insights into theoretical studies, such as considering the possibility of applying the Weber distribution commonly used for infinite optical communication in fiber models.

ANTROPOMORFİZM: KAVRAMIN TARİHİ, TEORİLER VE TÜKETİCİ DAVRANIŞLARI BAĞLAMINDA BİR LİTERATÜR İNCELEMESİ
Authors: SONMEZ Fatih , NART Sima
Published: December 2022

Antropomorfizm insana has özelliklerin insan dışı varlıklara atfedilmesi olgusudur. Bu çalışma antropomorfizm olgusunun kavramsallaşma sürecini, olgunun gündelik hayattaki yaygınlığını, olguyu açıklamaya çalışan teorileri ve tüketici davranışları bağlamında yürütülen ampirik antropomorfizm araştırmalarının bulgularını incelemektedir. Bu amaçla, öncelikle antropomorfizm olgusunun ve kavramının geçmişine yönelik bir araştırma yapılmış, olguya açıklama getirmeye çalışan teoriler eleştirel bir yaklaşımla sunulmuş ve daha sonra tüketici davranışları bağlamında antropomorfizm ile ilgili 2020 yılı başına kadar yapılmış olan ampirik araştırmaların bulguları özetlenerek nitel bir değerlendirmede bulunulmuştur. Tüketici davranışları literatüründeki ampirik araştırmaların sonuçları bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde, firmaların ürün ve markalarını antropomorfize etmelerinin, tüketicilerce hoş karşılanmayan davranışlara (fiyat yükseltme, yanıltıcı reklam, gizlilik ihlâli, adaletsizlik vb.) girişmedikleri sürece, daha çok dikkat çekme, daha sıcak algılanma, daha çok beğenilme, daha çok güvenilme, daha hatırlanır olma, daha yüksek satın alma niyeti vs. gibi olumlu sonuçlara yol açtığı görülmüştür. Tüketiciler açısından bakıldığında ise, antropomorfik ürün ve markaların tüketicilerin birtakım psikolojik ihtiyaçlarını (aidiyet, kontrol, etkisellik vb.) karşılayabildiği fakat bireysel ve durumsal farklılıklara bağlı olarak bazı durumlarda da olumsuz sonuçlara yol açabildiği görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, antropomorfizmin firmalar için genellikle olumlu çıktılar sunduğu, tüketiciler üzerinde ise koşullu etkilere sahip olduğu fakat son yıllarda davranışsal araştırmalardaki tekrarlama kriziyle gündeme gelen kaygılardan dolayı literatürdeki bulguların tekrarlanma çalışmalarıyla desteklenmedikleri sürece ihtiyatla ele alınmaları gerektiği kanaatine varılmıştır.
JOHN LOCKE’NİN SİYASET FELSEFESİNDE MÜLKİYET VE DEVLET
Authors: TİLCİ Önder , ÇELİKÇİ Abdül Samet
Published: December 2022

Onyedinci yüzyılın önemli düşünürlerinden olan ve toplumsal sözleşme kuramını merkeze alan düşünürlerden biri olarak bilinen John Locke, siyasi düşünce tarihinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Locke, insan doğasını barışçıl ve eşitlikçi bir şekilde değerlendiren yaklaşımı, bunun yanında mülkiyet ve devlet konularındaki fikirleri ile liberal düşüncenin inşasında önemli bir rol üstlenmiştir. Locke açısından devletin kurulma amacı, insanın doğal hakları olan hayat, özgürlük ve mülkiyet haklarının korunmasıdır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Locke’nin düşüncesinde devlet, sınırsız yetkilerle donatılmış bir aygıt değil, aksine, sınırlı yetkilere sahip, minimal bir devlet olarak belirmektedir. Yine, Locke’ye göre bu devlet, önceden belirlenmiş ve kalıcı nitelikte yasalar ile yönetilen bir işleyişe sahip olmalıdır. Ayrıca devletin işleyişinde kuvvetler ayrılığı prensibi benimsenmelidir. Bu açıdan Locke, liberal demokratik rejimlerin en önemli yönetim ilkelerinden biri olan kuvvetler ayrılığı prensibini sistematik bir şekilde ele alan ilk düşünür olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çerçevede, bu çalışmanın konusu John Locke’nin düşüncesinde mülkiyet ve devlettir. Mülkiyet meselesi, Locke’nin devlete ilişkin düşünceleri için merkezi bir yere sahiptir. Bu noktadan hareketle, bu çalışma, Locke’nin siyaset felsefesinde önemli bir yere sahip olan devlet konusundaki düşüncelerini, mülkiyet meselesine yönelik düşüncelerinden hareketle ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada öncelikle Locke’nin fikirleri için bir kalkış noktası oluşturan doğa durumuna ilişkin görüşleri ele alınacaktır. Daha sonra ise, mülkiyet ve devlet konularındaki düşünceleri incelenecektir.

Authors: Al-Majarfi Wafa Khamis
Published: December 2022

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyse the researchers’ studies on the effectiveness of mobile Apps to encourage people to undertake physical activity (PA), to determine what strategy makes utilising the mobile Apps an effective experience in increasing PA in healthy people, and to identify the gaps in their research studies.Study design: The researcher utilised a scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Scoping Review extension protocol.Methods: This scoping review was conducted to identify under what conditions the mobile Apps could lead to the increased PA of the participants through analysing the research studies on mobile App features and participants’ characteristics. Studies included those with high internal validity (randomised controlled trials) that dealt mainly with PA. The articles were selected according to specific criteria including 1) quantitative studies in English language, 2) participants from 18-70 years of age, 3) healthy participants who were recruited from community/primary healthcare centres and at high risk of cardiovascular diseases, and 4) the studies’ outcomes on the apps’ effectiveness and efficiency in increasing PA. The articles were critiqued using the Specialist Unit for Review Evidence.Results: Eight articles were finally selected and analysed. Four intervention strategies were identified from the studies – social aspect (3/8 studies), texting (3/8 studies), health sessions (3/8 studies), and feedback (5/8 studies). Results showed that some of the motivational strategies had a significant influence in improving PA.Conclusions: The long-term effect was not tested on all studies. Therefore, long-term studies need to be conducted to test the consistency of the PA. Additionally, subgroup analysis should be performed to gauge the influence of individual characteristics on increasing PA.
Super high resolution numerical weather prediction model simulation of tiny anticyclones observed at the Hong Kong International Airport
Authors: Chan PW , HON KK , LI QS
Published: December 2022

As a follow-up study of the observation of tiny anticyclones by short range LIDAR at the Hong Kong International Airport, super high model numerical weather prediction model simulation of the airflow is performed at a spatial resolution of 50 m.  The simulation successfully captures the tiny anticyclonic flow, suggesting that such flow could partly arise from terrain effect on the airflow at the airport.  The variability of the winds as observed by an anemometer and as forecast by the model compare well, suggesting that the simulations are realistic.  Two case studies are considered.  The results could be useful for reference by weather forecasters at the other airports in monitoring and studying terrain-disrupted airflow.
Extreme droughts and corresponding Summer Monsoon: A Case Study of 2009 Indian Drought
Authors: Kumar Pramod
Published: December 2022

Drought is a sustained result of continuous surface and atmospheric heating and moisture deficit. In general, drought assessment is made based on various indices. However, the drought dynamics and associated surface energetics about the corresponding Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM, i.e., June, July, August and September-JJAS) still needs to be better understood. Prolonged surface heating causes reduction of soil moisture, surface/subsurface runoff and atmospheric moisture. Excess surface heating results from positive surface energy budget, which is computed using the term, surface net solar radiation (SNSR), surface net thermal radiation (SNTR), surface sensible heat flux (SSHF), and surface latent heat flux (SLHF). It may also be the possible reason for enhanced convection. Convection also depends on the moisture holding capacity of the atmosphere, which increases with increasing air temperature. These processes lead to moisture content deficit and rainfall suppression due to moisture divergence from the convective sources. India Meteorological Department (IMD) (station and 0.25° gridded) and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA-Interim reanalysis (0.25° resolution) datasets are used to study the extreme drought events. Drought indices such as Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), Soil Moisture Index (SMI) and Sensible Heat Index (SHI) are used. Results indicate that anomalous lowering of available surface soil moisture and increase of surface sensible heat flux is a possible cause for enhancing extreme drought during the 2009 ISM. The associated Hadley circulation shows anomalous weakening, which led to reduced northward moisture transport from the southern oceans, further acerbating moisture deficit. Most parts of India suffered from anomalous decrement in specific humidity in the lower to upper troposphere and related precipitation scarcity during the drought period. The atmosphere’s increased moisture holding capacity sets a weak monsoon due to moisture divergence from ocean/local convection. However, likely, the excessive surface warming (due to SNSR/SNTR trapped into the surface) led to the extreme drought during 2009 ISM.

Authors: Barkouti Amal , Melki Mohamed Najib , Beyaz Abdullah , Khlifi Slaheddine
Published: December 2022

In this work, a simulation of the climate change impact on the wheat grain storage process in Northwestern regions of Tunisia was investigated based on grain aeration systems. This simulation was conducted by implementing the software package called Zephyrus for a period from 2041 to 2070 during storage season from the 01st of July to the 30th of November. The model estimates grain moisture content, grain temperature, and dry matter loss. The results showed a significant potential of the Zypherus strategy to maintain the grain moisture content around 12.2± 0.2% w.b. and to reduce grain temperatures from 35°C to 24 ± 1.5°C inside the silo. Consequently, under these values, the wheat storage process is considered safe and preserves wheat quality during the simulated storage period. Moreover, the wheat dry loss matter was about 0.8% during the whole storage period for each simulated year (approximately 0.15% per month).

Objective: QRISK*3 is an updated web-based calculator that estimates 10-year cardiovascular disease risk based on specific clinical parameters. In this study, individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who are being monitored in a psychiatric outpatient clinic are analyzed for their ten-year risk of cardiovascular disease.
Methods: The study sample consisted of fifty-eight patients diagnosed with OCD. Sociodemographic characteristics and symptom severity of all participants were recorded. The 10-year cardiovascular disease risk of the participants was calculated with the QRISK*3 model.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 37.21 (SD=10.48). QRISK*3 score of OCD patients was calculated as 3.59±6.38%. There were positive correlations between duration of illness and QRISK*3 and QAGE scores in patients with OCD (r=.389 and r=.571, respectively). Linear regression analysis showed the predictive effects of duration of illness (t=3.663, p<.001), AIP (t=2.338, p=.023) on QRISK*3 score in patients with OCD.
Conclusion: In this study, the risk of cardiovascular illness in OCD patients was independently predicted by the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and disease duration. Additionally, the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease was 3.6% in OCD patients. To explore and comprehend the connection between OCD and cardiovascular illness, more research is required.

Authors: Navarrete Gómez David
Published: December 2022

El artículo examina y discute el papel que el sistema científico de México puede jugar como vector de inclusión social. El objetivo principal es llamar la atención sobre este tema, pues hasta ahora no ha sido considerado en la agenda del impulso a la inclusión y el combate a la discriminación. Durante el presente siglo, la atención, programas y estudios en materia de democratización y políticas de inclusión en la educación superior se han centrado en el nivel de pregrado y posgrado. En este texto se sostiene que es momento de que los institutos científicos se incorporen a esta discusión e introduzcan prácticas y políticas que favorezcan la inclusión sistemática de investigadores pertenecientes a grupos sociales marginados, en particular de mujeres indígenas. El artículo toma como base el funcionamiento y resultados a la fecha del Programa de estancias posdoctorales para mujeres indígenas (PEPMI), un programa pionero iniciado en México en 2018 y que concluirá en 2022. Las experiencias del PEPMI y de sus becarias permiten observar las posibilidades y obstáculos que se presentan a iniciativas de inclusión como la encarnada por este programa. Sobre esta base se reflexiona sobre algunos aspectos centrales que deberán considerarse para avanzar de manera consistente y armónica en el reconocimiento a la diversidad y la promoción de procesos de inclusión a los espacios de producción del conocimiento científico en México.

Authors: Pitpisutkul Vipawan , Jamjumras Trisana , Sawasdee Kancharut , Prachayawarakorn Jutarat
Published: December 2022

Because of the low tensile properties and high hydrophilicity of thermoplastic starch (TPS), this research was focused on improving its characteristics through the addition of the natural cellulose fiber, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). Different TPS composites reinforced with HPMC fibers were compounded using an internal mixer and were shaped using a compression molding machine. The effects of HPMC fiber content and aspect ratios were examined. It was found from infrared spectra that the wavenumbers of the O-H stretching of TPS polymer clearly shifted to lower wavenumber with the incorporation of HPMC fibers, which indicated new hydrogen bond formation. Moreover, a significant increase of maximum stress and elastic modulus of TPS/ HPMC fiber composites was detected. A clear drop in moisture uptake was also found when HPMC fibers were added into the TPS polymer matrix. In addition, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize several TPS composites. Biodegradability for various composites was also determined.

Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki arkeolojik araştırmalar büyük ölçüde bölgenin özellikle Orta Demir Çağı’nın da başlangıcı kabul edilen Urartu Krallığı’na yönelik olmuştur. Bölgenin Urartu öncesi dönemi ise Güney Kafkasya, Doğu Anadolu ve Kuzeybatı İran’da yapılan sınırlı kazı çalışmaları ve daha çok yüzey araştırmaları sayesinde elde edilen veriler sayesinde tanımlanabilmektedir. Özellikle Orta ve Yeni Assur dönemi yazılı kaynakları, Urartu öncesi dönemde, bölgede yoğun bir yerleşim dokusunun varlığını ifade etse de Erken Demir Çağ ile ilgili yazılı kaynakların ve bilimsel arkeolojik kazıların yetersizliği, dönemi kavramamız açısından engel oluşturmaktadır. Buna karşın özellikle demirden yapılmış sınırlı sayıdaki süs eşyası ile bir takım törensel silahlar ve çanak çömlek malzemesinin elde edildiği çoklu gömü geleneğine sahip aşiret nekropolleri bu dönemi tanımlamamızda en önemli arkeolojik kaynak noktalarıdır. Bu arkeolojik malzemeler içerisinde ne yazık ki kaçak kazılardan elde edilen çanak çömlek malzemesi Erken Demir Çağ’ın tanımlanmasında sıklıkla başvurulan arkeolojik buluntulardır. Bu makalenin konusunu oluşturan çanak çömlekler, Ağrı İli, Doğubayazıt İlçesi’nde yer alan Ahmet Köroğlu Koleksiyonu’na satın alma yoluyla kazandırılmıştır. Adı geçen özel koleksiyondaki kayıtlı pişmiş toprak eserler içerisinde Erken Demir Çağ karakteri gösteren çanak çömlekler önemli bir grubu oluşturmaktadır. Bu dönem ile ilişkilendirilen 60 adet çanak çömlek örneği bu makale kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Satın alma yoluyla edinildikleri için arkeolojik kontekslerine ilişkin fikir yürütmek problemli olsa da çanak çömleklerin tipolojik özellikleri, üretim teknikleri, hamur ve bezeme örnekleri doğrultusunda özellikle Van Bölgesi merkezlerinden bilinen Erken Demir Çağ çanak çömlekleri ile benzeştiği görülmektedir.

Biodiversity and Food Diversity of Farms Using Agroecology in Benin Cotton Areas
Authors: Akpatcho Leon H. , Adegbola Patrice Y. , Yabi Jacob A.
Published: December 2022

Farms biodiversity and food diversity of agricultural households are evaluated to understand some agroecology effects on cotton farms. This is a part of socio-economic analysis of the agroecological  transition underway in cotton zones of Benin. The surveys covered 509 farmers in 5 municipalities: Banikoara, Kandi, Ouassa-Péhunco, Parakou and Savalou. Data collected are crops diversity, livestock diversity, natural vegetation, trees and pollinators of each farm and the various food consumed within 24 hours before the survey on each farm. Scores obtained by farm on each criterion were used to calculate the farm biodiversity index and household food diversity index; and the averages by type. Student's Chi--square test and Kruskal Wallis multiple comparison test were used to compare index averages, to analyze difference between farm types according to their ''Test'' or ''Control'' status. Analysis based on ''Tool Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE)'' method shows that surveyed farms are unsustainable (biodiversity index <50%) regardless of status, except farms of type 5 Test which have a better result and significantly different from the Controls. But their diet remains acceptable (5≥food diversity index<7); difference observed on most types except 1 and 4. This means that agroecology is not yet bearing full fruit in the study areas and that farming households are still vulnerable to food insecurity. However, there are clear differences between the types of farms and differences between individuals of the same type. These few disparities observed highlight the potential of agroecology to improve households’ food situation if the process is intensified.

Análisis de redes sociales e historia contemporánea
Authors: Sarno Emma
Published: December 2022

Este artículo trata sobre el potencial de análisis de redes sociales en la investigación de la historia contemporánea para destacar patrones escondidos o no lineales en los datos relacionales. Los individuos (al igual que otras entidades) pueden ser moldeados por las conexiones con otros en el tiempo y el espacio debido a afiliaciones institucionales, de patrocinio, a transacciones, migraciones, etc. Los métodos y las herramientas gráficas del análisis de redes ayudan a visualizar las redes y sus dinámicas de forma diacrónica, valoran el papel de los individuos al vincularse o conectar con otros actores, los clasifican de acuerdo con su grado de «centralidad» o «centro-periferia», identifican estructuras entre los individuos y simplifican estructuras complejas a través del modelado de bloques.
