Authors: Uysal Mesut , Demiral Mehmet Fatih
Published: March 2024

Today, with the increasing interest in technology, very useful studies are carried out in the field of image processing. Image technologies are also used in many fields such as security, defense, medicine, and industry. In this study, age, gender, and ethnicity were found in the image by using different deep learning techniques and by building our own model in CNN. The 23705 images taken from the csv file named Face Data taken from Kaggle were categorized as different gender, race, and age within the application and the accuracy and losses of the results were transferred with graphs. In addition, by creating an interface with the help of the Python flask library, the results of the snapshot taken from the camera (age, gender, and race) can also be found. Out of the 23705 images, approximately 12000 male and 11000 female profiles were obtained. These profiles were classified according to 5 different genetics specified in the dataset. The genetics in the application (0 represented White, 1 represented Black, 2 represented Asian, 3 represented Indian, 4 represented Others.)

Published: March 2024

The purpose of aeration in water is to transfer or remove gases from the water. Dissolved oxygen is critical for living life. In water engineering, aeration and oxygen transfer using water jets are common. In this study, various venturi nozzles with air holes in the throat portion were manufactured and meaningful experiments were conducted to determine their oxygen transfer efficiency and aeration performance., the venturi nozzles with throat diameters 14, 17 and 20 mm were used in the experimental study. The ratio of the diameter of the air holes to the diameter of the throat portion is taken as 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. Different experiments were carried out for nine different hole diameters. In addition, the ratio of the throat portion length to the throat portion diameter was taken as 1.00 and 0.50. In addition, comprehensive experiments were carried out by considering the ratio of outlet length to outlet diameter for all nozzles, 1 and 2, and for one venturi, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The experiments were also conducted for the circular nozzle to make comparisons. In this study, venturi nozzles gave better results than circular nozzles, and higher aeration performance values were obtained for the ratios 0.2 and 0.3, 1, 0.50 and 0.50. It was found that the aeration performance of the venturi nozzle was approximately 6.5 times higher than the air entrainment rate performance of the circular nozzle and 2.5 times higher in terms of oxygen transfer.

Published: March 2024

The results of a study on the replacement of fish oil in the feed for two-year-old whitefish with other sources of lipids have been carried out. When replacing a fifth of the fish oil (4 out of 20%) with flaxseed oil, there was no significant difference in growth, fish survival, physiological parameters, and fatty acid composition of lipids. In the following experiments, fish oil was changed to linseed, soybean, rapeseed and camelina oils. When replacing 5, 7, 10 and 15 of 20% of fish oil with flaxseed oil, the content of omega-3 acids in fish muscles increased from 9 to 27%, including the sum of long-chain acids – docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) – from 2.4 to 23.5%, which demonstrates the ability of whitefish to transform maternal alpha-linolenic acid, which is rich in linseed oil, into long-chain polyunsaturated acids. At the same time, the amount of monounsaturated oleic acid decreased from 41.4 to 21.7%. An improvement in the fatty acid composition of feed when vegetable oils were introduced instead of fish oil indicates its low quality, as indicated by high mortality, a decrease in vitamin C, and a deterioration in the fatty acid composition of lipids in fish that received food with the highest amount of fish oil. Based on the consideration of all indicators, the best results were obtained when replacing half of the fish oil with linseed oil (10% out of 20%). At the same time, the quality of fish products was preserved. The amount of DHA and EPA in 100 g of farmed fish muscle was 0.89 g, which satisfies the daily human need for these important omega-3 acids for health. When replacing fish oil with camelina, soybean and rapeseed oils, the results were slightly worse.

Published: March 2024

Stunting could be found in a circumstance where children's height is unusual compared to their age. There are multifactor that cause stunting which some of them are repeated infections and the utilization of health services. Recurrent infections can be prevented if the child's basic immunization is complete. A complete history of immunization status can lower the incidence of recurrent infections. In addition, ANC examinations and measurements of weight and height as the form of the utilization of health services are perceivable by the frequency of visits of mothers and toddlers to integrated healthcare. The more frequently mothers and toddlers go to integrated healthcare, the faster stunting symptoms will be detected thus the toddler is less likely to experience stunting. This study aims to examine associations between toddlers' basic immunization status and visits to integrated healthcare regarding the stunting incidence among toddlers at the stunting locus in Sukamulya Village, Bandung Regency. The study used a quantitative correlation design with a secondary data approach. Respondents are acquired from secondary data, which is the society in Sukamulya Village, Bandung Regency. Samples were selected through purposive sampling technique with specific criteria which is mother with children under five, resulting 96 people in total. The variables in the study consisted of basic immunization status, visits to integrated healthcare, and stunting. Data processing uses univariate and bivariate analysis. The instrument consists of a toddler’s immunization history, ANC examination, also toddler’s weight and height measurement. Statistical test using Chi square with 5% significance level. This study results that there are no associations between basic immunization status (p value = 0.284) with stunting incident and visits to integrated healthcare is associated with (p value = 0.001) the incidence of stunting. These findings are caused by the variety of immunity levels of toddlers and there are multifactor that cause infectious diseases.

Published: March 2024

This research investigates the considerations necessary for creating a fair standard contract and implementing the principle of freedom of contract. A standard contract, typically drafted by one party with predetermined terms, is crucial in commercial transactions. Despite the principle of freedom of contract, ensuring fairness for all parties involved remains a challenge. The method employed is normative juridical research, utilizing secondary data sources. The findings showed that the standard contracts may not violate the principle of freedom of contract outlined in Article 1320 and Article 1338 of the Civil Code, conflicts may arise, particularly due to restrictive clauses like exoneration clauses. Parties have the right to review the contract and accept or reject its terms. However, disparities persist in standard contract formation, highlighting the need for further examination of their fairness and compliance with legal principles

This study analyzes the relationship between Önancial self-e¢ cacy and Önancial satisfaction of individual investors, with a particular emphasis on examining whether this relationship is moderated by gender. The study adopted a quantitative research approach and employed an online survey to gather data from a sample of 216 individual investors. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is employed to examine the direct e§ect of Önancial self-e¢ cacy on Önancial satisfaction and the moderating e§ect of gender on this relationship. The results show that Önancial self-e¢ cacy has a positive and signiÖcant impact on Önancial satisfaction. Furthermore, the Öndings indicate that gender moderates this relationship, with male investors exhibiting a stronger relationship between Önancial self-e¢ cacy and Önancial satisfaction than female investors. These Öndings suggest that Önancial self-e¢ cacy is an important predictor of Önancial satisfaction for both men and women and gender di§erences should be taken into account when examining the relationship between these variables. The study highlights the importance of Önancial self-e¢ cacy in achieving Önancial satisfaction and emphasizes the need for interventions that improve Önancial self-e¢ cacy, particularly for women investors who may experience greater barriers to Önancial success.

The Design of Tropical Homes in Focus of Climate Conditions
Authors: Penner Jonas
Published: March 2024

The topic I would like to address in this paper is about the design of tropical homes with a specific focus on climate conditions, construction, and design elements. In fact, tropical areas deal with different circumstances such as heat, humidity and heavy rainfall. All these extreme challenges can occur at the same time. For this reason, it requires to plan these houses carefully to get the perfect protection for any weather extreme. In order to counteract the problems, there are several solutions you can perceive during the planning phase. One key proposed solution involves strategic placement on the property. Orienting the longer sides of the house toward the north and south minimizes direct sunlight exposure. This helps to maximize natural ventilation and reduce heat gain inside the house. Another critical factor contributing to effective ventilation is cross-ventilation, achieved by situating windows and doors on opposing sides of the house. This arrangement facilitates the flow of air, reducing internal temperatures. Another aspect of the ventilation is the roof structure. Having openings in the roofs, helps to release hot air which accumulate in the top of the building. A further aspect you can do with the roof is to plan a roof overhang so that it protects walls from heavy rainfall and protects openings from sunlight. By integrating these design principles, you can create a house that is comfortable, resilient, and well-suited to the unique conditions of tropical regions.
Development of motivational mechanisms for risk transfer in public-private partnership projects
Authors: LAZAREV Artem P.
Published: March 2024

Subject. The article is devoted to the relations that arise between the State (public) partner and the private partner when distributing risks in public-private partnership (PPP) projects.
Objectives. The study aims to establish features of motivation mechanisms designed to encourage private investors to accept the risks arising when making a PPP agreement.
Methods. The basic research methodology is to determine the sensitivity of a private investor to certain types of risks based on systematization of motivation opportunities. The study employs content analysis and statistical data.
Results. The paper identifies risk groups for which motivational incentives are applicable, and establishes standard motivational mechanisms. It notes that the formation of motivational mechanisms should consider key trends in the influence of the State on private investors. The areas that significantly influence the motivation of a private investor include, in particular, eliminating economic inequality of economic agents, opportunity to access innovation, solving social and environmental problems, creating a stable business environment and necessary infrastructure.
Conclusions. Economic factors represent a key motivational element in risk allocation decisions, but they are not always completely dominant. Only a combination of individual and institutional measures can create an attractive environment for private investors considering the investment of their own capital in PPP projects. The findings can be used when concluding PPP project agreements at all levels, in accordance with the legislation on PPP, and ensuring the implementation of the proposed algorithm for the motivational mechanism formation.

Published: March 2024

Background and Objective: The vaccines Sinopharm and Pfizer account for more than 7.3 billion vaccinations across the globe. Study data shows that the protection offered by these vaccines wanes with time, which is why the third dose of a different or same vaccine may become necessary. The objective of this study was to compare the levels of IgG in the post-vaccination phase, with two different vaccines, Sinopharm and Pfizer.  

Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted at CMH Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry, after approval by the Ethical committee. A total of 100 participants, who were completely vaccinated, with either Sinopharm or Pfizer, at least six weeks before, were included in the study. Participants with concurrent infection, incomplete vaccination or any known disease, were excluded from the study. Written consent was obtained from all the participants. A predesigned questionnaire, adapted from similar studies, was used for data collection. Afterwards, blood samples were collected and IgG antibody levels were estimated using RD-RatioDiagnostics SARS-COV-2 virus IgG ELISA kit (E-COG-K105). The collected data was analyzed with SPSS software. Results with p value < 0.05 were taken as significant.

Results: Mean age of the participants was 20.18±1.29 years. Mean antibody titers, six weeks post-vaccination, were 5453.73±609.15 U/ml and 10786.86±1525.49 U/ml in Sinopharm and Pfizer groups, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.0004).

Conclusion: Antibody response is considerably higher in Pfizer-vaccinated individuals, in comparison to Sinopharm.

Authors: Qamar Abdullah , Hamid Shabnam , Mushtaq Fareeha , Abdullah Muhammad Saad , Umbreen Faiza , Khalid Rabya
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT

Background and Objective: Statins can induce myopathy; however, the impact on muscle regeneration remains unclear. β2-agonists may mitigate statin myotoxicity. This study investigated the effects of simvastatin and formoterol on skeletal muscle regeneration and injury using a rat model.
Methods: Adult Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 90) were divided into three groups: control (A), simvastatin treatment (B), and simvastatin plus formoterol treatment (C). The rats were kept at room temperature for 3 months where an animal house diet was available ad libitum. Simvastatin was administered orally once a day, by oral gavage for 12 weeks; formoterol was concurrently administered to one group. Extensor digitorum longus muscles were analyzed for the myogenic differentiation factor (MyoD) by immunohistochemistry. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were quantified as a marker of muscle damage.
Results: MyoD-positive myonuclei were significantly increased in the C group (simvastatin plus formoterol group) compared to the A and B Groups (control and simvastatin-only groups) (p < 0.05). Serum LDH levels were significantly lower in group C than in groups A and B (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Formoterol alleviates statin-associated muscle injury in a rat model as evidenced by increased MyoD expression and decreased LDH levels. The activation of dormant satellite cells and increased expression of MyoD indicate the potential of formoterol to promote muscle regeneration.

We performed Monte Carlo simulation for a two-dimensional generalized XY model and calculated the magnetic and nematic Binder parameters. The phase diagram is re-examined based on these Binder parameters, demonstrating their power in studying generalized XY models. The Binder parameter has distinctive behaviors, resulting in different types of phase transition. More importantly, the magnetic Binder parameter gives more insights into the tricritical region where the Kosterlitz-Thouless, Ising, and 1/2 Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition lines meet. It shows signatures for the intermediate region starting from the tricritical point, where the transition line is neither the same physics as the Ising transition below nor the KT transition far above the tricritical point.
Scalar sector interactions in BDW model
Authors: Hieu Tran Minh , Sang Dinh Quang
Published: March 2024

In the Bélanger-Delaunay-Westhoff model, vectorlike fermions and a new scalar sector charged under an extra Abelian gauge symmetry are introduced to explain the flavor observables, and the muon . In this paper, we focus our study to the scalar sector of this model and the relevant interactions. The interaction terms including the exotic Yukawa, the gauge interactions, and the scalar 3-point and 4-point interactions are derived together with the corresponding Feynman rules. It is shown that the new scalar  can decay into a pair of standard-model-like Higgs bosons. This channel is considered by analyzing the decay width and its parameter dependence.

For the fi rst time, unifi ed types of zonal vegetation are established for the early Eocene in east of Asia and their changes in space are traced. The reconstruction is based on the analysis of 48 palynofl oras from the early Eocene localities situated from 75 to 19° N using Integrated Plant Record (IPR) vegetation analysis. In the results, quantitative parameters of the relative proportions of vegetation components are obtained. According to our data, along the latitudinal gradient from north to south, there is an increase in evergreen plants and herbs, but a decrease in conifers and deciduous plants, and no changes in the proportions of xerophytic plants. Mixed mesophytic forest is a widespread and dominant type of zonal vegetation. In general, the main changes in plant biomes show a very shallow and weakly pronounced diff erentiation into two plant zones: mixed mesophytic forest, north of ~50° paleolatitude, and warmer types of zonal vegetation (broadleaved evergreen forest and an ecotone between mixed mesophytic and broadleaved evergreen forests), in addition to mixed mesophytic forest, south of ~50° paleolatitude. The resulting spatial patterns of vegetation are consistent with climatic inferences.

Authors: Reff Michael , Blaisdell David , Boehmer Leigh , Kurtin Sandra , Nasso Shelley , Peroutky Rachael , Schultz Katie , Valuck Tom
Published: March 2024

Oral oncolytics affect the way oncology providers and their patients manage treatment. Patients with cancer often prefer oral therapies; however, at-home oral treatments may lead to increased non-adherence. Medication adherence quality measures have been used to monitor adherence for other medication types, but none exist for oral oncolytic therapies. A multistakeholder workgroup of oncology and quality measurement experts explored gaps in quality measures focused on oral oncolytic adherence and identified, prioritized, and refined measure concepts for further development. The workgroup prioritized measure gaps and developed measure concepts to assess priority factors impacting adherence: 1) screening for oral oncolytic medication access challenges and 2) bidirectional patient and provider communication regarding oral oncolytic treatment. They further prioritized development of medication persistence rate and discontinuation rate measures. The workgroup then identified action steps to advance the measure concepts, including evidence generation, agreement on best practices to support adherence, identification and use of patient-reported outcomes measures and tools, and integration of measurement data components into existing workflows. Pursuing these recommendations will require collaboration across stakeholders.

В последние десятилетия в западной культуре заметны изменения в подходах к обучению игре на фортепиано. В то время как классическая европейская школа придерживается строгих канонов, современные преподаватели из Северной Америки стремятся к более гибким и индивидуализированным методикам. Цель данного исследования состоит в сравнительном анализе основных методологий обучения фортепиано в классической Европе и современных США с точки зрения их преимуществ и недостатков. Материалами исследования послужили учебные программы и методические пособия по фортепиано ведущих консерваторий и музыкальных учебных заведений Европы и Северной Америки. Также был проведён анализ видеозаписей уроков фортепиано различных педагогов. В результате исследования выявлены основные подходы к обучению фортепиано в классической европейской и современной американской школах. Показаны преимущества и недостатки каждой методики, а также возможности их интеграции в современной практике обучения игре на фортепиано. Таким образом, данное исследование имеет важное теоретическое и практическое значение для совершенствования методики обучения игре на фортепиано с учётом лучших мировых достижений и индивидуальных особенностей учащихся. В дальнейшем целесообразны более детальные изучение вопроса на больших выборках и экспериментальная проверка предлагаемых инновационных подходов.

In recent decades, Western culture has seen significant changes in approaches to teaching the piano. While the classical European school adheres to strict canons, modern teachers from North America strive for more flexible and individualized methods. The purpose of this study is to provide a comparative analysis of the main piano teaching methodologies in classical Europe and the modern United States in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. The research materials included curriculum and teaching aids for piano at leading conservatories and music schools in Europe and North America. An analysis of video recordings of piano lessons from various teachers was also carried out. As a result of the study, the main approaches to teaching piano in classical European and modern American schools were identified. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are shown, as well as the possibilities of their integration in modern practice of teaching piano. Thus, this study has important theoretical and practical significance for improving methods of teaching piano, taking into account the best world achievements and individual characteristics of students. In the future, it would be advisable to study the issue in more detail using large samples and experimentally test the proposed innovative approaches.

Деятельность РСХД, председателем которого с 1923 по 1962 г. был выдающийся педагог и религиозный мыслитель профессор В. В. Зеньковский, была направлена на воцерковление молодого поколения эмигрантов. Первоначальные формы религиозной работы с молодежью в РСХД со временем дополнились работой с детьми и юношеством. Наиболее распространенными стали дружины «Витязей» и дружинниц, объединивших в отряды мальчиков от 7 до 18 лет и в аналогичные отряды — девочек. В 1934–1935 г. дружина «Витязи» и «Девичья дружина» РСХД объединились, был разработан единый устав — «Положения объединенной организации-братства», предлагаемый к публикации. Интересна и важна предыстория этого документа в связи с деятельностью РСХД и его идеями. В центре внимания — понимание национального вопроса руководителями РСХД и его воплощение в воспитании детей и юношества. В «Положениях» изложены главные принципы, цель и заветы, положенные в основу организации-братства; условия приема новых членов и обещания, даваемые при вступлении в братство; также в документе описываются внутренние устройство и порядок организации, включающие структуру, программы, порядок избрания руководителей и старших, отличительные знаки руководителей разного уровня.

The activities of the RSCM, which was chaired by Professor V. V. Zenkovsky, an outstanding teacher and religious thinker, were aimed at churching the younger generation of emigrants. The initial forms of religious work with youth in the RSHD were eventually supplemented by work with children and youth. The most widespread were the “vityazi” and “druzhinitsa” squads, which united boys and girls from 7 to 18 years old in similar squads. In 1934–1935, the “Vityazi” squad and the “Gerls’ druzhina” of the RSCM merged, and a single charter “Provisions of the United Fraternity Organization” was developed and proposed for publication. The background of this document in relation to the activities of the RSHD and its ideas is interesting and important. The focus is on the understanding of the national question by the leaders of the RSCM and its embodiment in the education of children and youth. The “Provisions” set out the main principles, purpose and covenants that form the basis of the fraternity organization; the conditions for admission of new members and pledges made upon joining the brotherhood; the document also describes the internal structure and procedure of the organization, including its structure, programs, the procedure for electing leaders and seniors, and the distinctive signs of various levels of leadership.

Project performance is greatly influenced by labor productivity. The productivity of each worker is different and is influenced by several factors such as work experience, age, education level, wages, site conditions, weather, coordination and planning, and leadership skills. This study examines the value and level of labor productivity, the variables that influence productivity, and the efforts to improve labor productivity. Observations in this study were conducted using the construction sampling method to observe the work scope, construction time, number of workers, adequate time, contribution time, ineffective time of lightweight steel-roof frame construction work, and direct on-site observation. Next, the level of labor productivity must be analyzed using the Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) approach. The analysis shows that the average productivity values for horse labor were 2,581 m²/OH for ironworkers and 5,197 m²/OH for manual workers. The productivity value for ironworkers in lath construction is 5,256 m²/OH. From the analysis of the average level of labor productivity (results are more than 50% of her), it can be concluded that the level of labor productivity in the construction project of the catholic church of St. Maria Bunda Pengharapan Bunut Sanggau is satisfactory. The most significant variables affecting labor productivity are control variables. As a result of interviews with stakeholders, it was found that ways to increase labor productivity include effectively using time, creating a working system that is easy to work in, ensuring that workers have specialized knowledge, and ensuring thorough on-site supervision. Improvements are needed to create a good working environment.

Published: March 2024

تهدف الدراسة الحالية في تقدير أثر بعض مؤشرات الاستدامة المالية مقاسا بكل من (الدين العام، الايرادات النفطية، الإنفاق الحكومي، معدلات الفائدة، التضخم، السعر الصرف) في النمو الاقتصادي مقاسا ب (الناتج المحلي الإجمالي) في العراق للمدة (2004-2022). واستخدمت الدراسة الاسلوب الكمي بإستخدام انموذج الإنحدار الذاتي للإبطاء الموزع ARDL وذلك لتقدير معلمات متغيرات المستخدمة للاستدامة المالية، وتبينت من نتائج الدراسة بأن لمتغيرات الاستدامة المالية تأثير معنوي في النمو الاقتصادي للعراق خلال المدة (2004-2022)، حيث أظهرت نتائـج الدراسـة وجـود علاقـة توازنيـة طويلـة الأجـل بيـن الاستدامة المالية وبين النمو الاقتصادي، إذ تُعـد الإيرادات النفطية من أهـم متغيـرات الاستدامة المالية تأثيـراً في النمو الاقتصادي، يليها متغير الإنفاق الحكومي، ثم يأتـي متغيـر معدل سعر الصرف بالأهمية الثالثة، يليه متغير إجمالي الدين العام، وأخيراً متغير معدل التضخم. بينما لم يظهر التأثير المعنوي لمتغير معدل الفائدة على النمو الاقتصادي في الأجل الطويل، وتقترح الدراسة مجموعة من المقترحات، من أهمها ترشيد الانفاق الحكومي والتركيز على الانفاق الاستثماري من اجل توليد دخل اضافي في المستقبل وبالتالي زيادة احتمالية الاستدامة المالية، وايجاد مصادر تمويل اضافية من قطاعات اقتصادية حيوية في العراق مثل الزراعة والصناعة وتقليل الاعتماد الكلي على الايرادات النفطية من خلال خطة استراتيجية لتنويع مصادر الايرادات كما فعلها اغلب دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي.
