Authors: Maged M. N. Khedr  , Peterlinus Odote
Published: September 2024

Two decades after the fall of the shah, Iran is still going through a long and frequently interrupted post-revolutionary transition, which has a significant impact on the country's politics and its external relations. This paper discusses the implications of Iran's foreign policy on security in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region with a specific focus on the national security of Egypt. The study was carried out in Egypt and North Africa, and it studied a sample of 50 adult male and female professors who specialize in Iranian affairs, politics, and diplomats. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Iran's foreign policy in the MENA region. The specific objectives of the study were: 1) to examine the current situation of Iran's foreign policy on security in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA); 2) to assess how Iran's foreign policy on security in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) impact’s on Egypt's stability and; 3) to investigate strategies being used by Egypt to navigate security challenges and improve relations with Iran. The study is based on the shock theory. Data gathered from interviews and questionnaires using both qualitative and quantitative research methods have been used in the research. After gathering the data, they were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The findings of the study indicate that security challenges in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are highly complex and are influenced by various factors such as politics, history, economics, and religion. The insights contained herein form the basis for understanding how Iran's foreign policy affects regional security and geopolitical stability, thereby necessitating context-dependent measures to address contemporary security threats in the MENA region.
The City of Baghdad in Art: Innovations as Reinterpretations of Destruction
Authors: Farah Al-Shamali
Published: September 2024

In and amongst the return to ruin ravaging the city of Baghdad, its contemporary artists lamented these violent turns unto space, taking it from utopian bliss to everyday dystopia. Their works represent a conveyance of the spatiality of pain but also a reckoning with character-altering devastation. There is further love of place even as it suffers the perils of war, the challenge being to reconcile death within life through the complexities of representation. Within these artistic offerings is the pioneering of the aestheticization of ruin. It is that life necessarily emerges from the bowels of devastation as the five selected native artists capture the majesty and ache of the capital as it ignited their imaginations. This is, in many ways, a series of interpretative frameworks that treat the afflicted city so that it may survive. It is settled into their imaginative sensibilities that can reclaim what was stripped in the absurdity of the real. From the permeation of ruination as material into the art-making process to reified pain, these Iraqi creatives have incorporated woundedness into their pieces. They speak back to the city what it was feeling and reeling from and uncover a spatiality of loss and innovation.
Una visión desde la poscolonialidad en el ensayo “La era crítica (XVIII-XIX)” de Alfonso Reyes
Authors: Gómez Goyzueta Ximena , Sanz Martin Blanca Elena
Published: September 2024

This paper follows from a broader investigation of the work Letras de la Nueva España (1948) by Alfonso Reyes, which is a series of seven essays, whose seventh place corresponds to “La Era Crítica (XVIII y XIX)”. We propose here an analysis of this last essay, which will support, at first instance, in Reyes’s own conceptual assumptions abouts his notions of “culture” and “cultural synthesis” that are presents in his essays-lectures “Notas sobre la inteligencia americana” (1936) and “Posición de América” (1942); subsequently, we will analyze the essay from the postcolonial concept proposed by Ángel Rama, consistent of the intellectual of the “lettered city” in his book La ciudad Letrada (1998). This conceptual and historic-cultural context will be the foundation for a discourse analysis of some fragments of the essay, from the theorical perspectives of Teun Van Dijk (2000), Helena Calsamiglia and Amparo Tusón (1999), as well as from the enunciation theory of Émile Benveniste (1971). All of this will allow us to understand the place that both Letras de la Nueva España and the essay in question have in the work of Reyes, and the way the author integrates himself into Mexican and Latin-American cultural work based on, in this case, his assessment of the Mexican literature made in the Colonial period.

Authors: Pashaei Ali , Aydin Emrullah , Akif Ozdemir Mehmet , Kosesoy Yusuf , Aydemir Mehmet Timur
Published: September 2024

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has been drawing a lot of attention in the last ten years parallel with the market increase in electric vehicles. Although conductive charging methods are still the preferred ones, WPT-based charging systems are used as clean and flexible alternatives. At the center of these systems are the transmitting and receiving coils, and different coil types have been proposed in the literature. This study proposes a square-hexagonal hybrid coil structure to increase magnetic coupling by shaping the magnetic field. In addition, this design aims to minimize the coupling coefficient variation for misaligned coils which is one of the most significant problems in WPT systems. A 3D model of the coils was created and analyzed using ANSYS, Maxwell software. Compared to the conventional square coil structure the coupling coefficient of the proposed structure is less affected by misalignment on the x and y axes, and as a result, it has a better efficiency. In addition, a WPT system operating at 50 W, 85-kHz is designed and tested in a laboratory environment. The FEA analyses and experimental application results largely overlap, and accordingly, the coil-to-coil efficiency of our WPT system was 93.5% and the overall efficiency of the system was 87%.

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between diabetes-related nutrition knowledge and body weight status among non-diabetic young adults. This cross-sectional study utilized a questionnaire assessing socio-demographic and Diabetes-Related Nutrition Knowledge-Questionnaire (DRNK-Q). Weight, height, and waist circumference were measured using standard protocols, and body weight categories were established using the Body Mass Index (BMI). Data from 320 young adults, aged 18‒26 years old, were collected from Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM). Participants were divided into two categories based on their knowledge scores. Overall, the study's respondents exhibited low DRNK (52.8%) and high DRNK (47.2%). Majority of respondents have normal body weight (55.7%); nevertheless, there is no relationship between body weight and diabetes-related nutrition knowledge. To conclude, there is no knowledge difference between cadet and non-cadet. Therefore, public health initiatives must customize interventions suitable to support behavior and lifestyle changes based on the amount of diabetes awareness.

Unveiling Determinants in Rice Supply Chain Studies: A Bibliometric Analysis on Food Security
Authors: Aziz Tengku Nurul Aishah Tengku , Nordin Norani , Ismail Haikal
Published: September 2024

This paper seeks to provide an overview of the characteristics of the Rice Supply Chain (RSC) as studied across various research areas related to food security concerns. In agriculture, Rice Self-Sufficiency (RSS) level is an indicator of food security. However, food security encompasses broader factors such as availability, accessibility, stability, and utilisation. Given that rice holds significant importance as one of the world's staple foods, addressing the increasing demand for rice is seen as a crucial strategy to enhance national resilience against food insecurity. Inefficiencies in the rice supply chain can negatively impact production, storage, and distribution, consequently diminishing the RSS. In line with the growing attention to food security, there is a need to better understand the importance of sustaining the production of rice to cater to food security issues within broader academic research. Thus, this study has two main objectives: 1) to examine the characteristics and development of literature related to the RSC and, 2) to identify the thematic areas related to the RSC research and their connections to specific disciplines. To achieve this, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis of 165 journal articles listed in the Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS databases was conducted. This analysis revealed significant findings in research activity, highlighting the extensive and multidisciplinary nature of the studies. Study results indicate a gap in relational bibliometric studies within the field of RSC. Nevertheless, there is still potential for increased collaboration across disciplines and further investigation into how diverse RSC studies touch on food security issues for future reference.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to determine infant feeding practices including breastfeeding initiation, exclusive breastfeeding, duration of breastfeeding and complementary feeding, feeding practices related factors among mothers with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) history, and the association between Infant and Young Child Feeding indicators and GDM status. A cross-sectional study (n=130) was conducted from February to June 2023 in Meru and Bandar Botanic health clinics. Data on infant feeding practices were gathered from GDM mothers and children aged below two years. Findings showed that 43.8% (n=57) of the mothers had initiated breastfeeding within an hour, 57.7% (n=75) infants were exclusively breastfed, 30.0% (n=39) continued breastfeeding for one year and 81.9% (n=68) had an appropriate time of complementary feeding. Mothers who had caesarean-section delivery and GDM were more likely to initiate breastfeeding after an hour of delivery, p<0.05. Exclusive breastfeeding was highly practiced by older, multiparous, and higher education mothers. Unemployed mothers were more likely to continue breastfeeding for one year. GDM mothers were more inclined to delay breastfeeding initiation and introduced complementary feeding appropriately, p<0.05. This study's findings bridge the gap in providing information on infant feeding practices among mothers with a history of GDM and therefore might be beneficial for related personnel to figure out how to overcome this concerning issue in the future.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to assess the rates of Gestational Weight Gain (GWG) among pregnant mothers with and without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and to investigate the sociodemographic and dietary intake factors associated with the rates of GWG. This cross-sectional study involved 77 pregnant mothers visiting selected government clinics. Sociodemographics, medical records, and dietary intake were obtained through a self-administered questionnaire. The mean age of the participants was 30.48±5.0 years old with 48.1% (n=37) of them were GDM diagnosed. Moreover, 27 (73.0%) of GDM mothers experienced abnormal GWG. Their mean intakes were 1,481±389 kcal/day, macronutrients such as carbohydrate, protein, and fat were 199.9±59.3 g/day, 75.5±23.9 g/day, 44.1±15.3 g/day accordingly, fiber was 6.9±7.0 g/day and followed by micronutrients such as folate, calcium, iron, and zinc were 137.4±78.9 μg/day, 738.6±335.3 mg/day, 16.8±7.1 mg/day, and 6.0±2.6 mg/day respectively. This study reported no significant association between GDM status and GWG rates but there was a significant association between pre-pregnancy BMI and zinc intake with rates of GWG among pregnant mothers (p<0.05). In conclusion, the latest guidelines of GWG rates should include GDM status among pregnant mothers according to the specific pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index (BMI) to ensure, they can adhere to the new recommendations and lower the risk of pregnancy complications that may occur due to abnormal rates of GWG.

The parental feeding style that mostly applied to cause stunting is the neglect-feeding style (8.8%). Parents should further improve their parenting patterns by always paying attention to food intake, especially the amount, frequency of feeding, and type of food.
Worsening orbital roof “blow-in” fractures following traumatic brain injury: A report of two cases
Authors: Rao Varun , Gerndt Clayton H. , Ong Vera , Strong Edward Bradley , Shahlaie Kiarash
Published: September 2024

Background:

Orbital roof fractures are often the result of high-velocity collisions and are seen in 1–9% of patients with craniofacial trauma. Although the majority of orbital roof fractures are displaced superiorly, a subset results in inferior displacement of fracture fragments, posing a risk for muscle/nerve entrapment and possible blindness. Many of these patients have severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and, in addition to orbital fractures, also have elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Management of depressed orbital roof fractures in the setting of severe TBI with elevated ICP represents a management dilemma.

Case Description:

Two cases of severe TBI with associated downward displacement of orbital roof fractures were reviewed. Both cases exhibited elevated ICP correlated with the degree of orbital roof fracture depression. Surgical intervention involving elevation and repair of the fractures was undertaken when there was a significant risk of injury to the extraocular muscles and/or the optic nerve due to the extent of the fracture depression.

Conclusion:

Depressed orbital roof fractures may migrate in response to changes in ICP. Serial computed tomography scans and eye examinations may aid with determining the need for and timing of surgical intervention.

ADAPTIVE NONLINEAR KALMAN FILTER ON THE BASIS OF THE IRREGULAR PRECISE MEASUREMENTS
Authors: Соколов С.В. , Полякова М.В.
Published: September 2024

Показана возможность коррекции текущих оценок фазовых переменных нелинейного объекта по точным измерениям, формируемым с некоторым произвольным временным интервалом, а также возможность адаптации самого алгоритма оценивания по полученным точным измерениям, которая позволит на временных интервалах между ними существенно повысить точность оценивания. Получено аналитическое решение задачи адаптивной дискретной нелинейной фильтрации, использующее нерегулярные точные измерения. Возможность нерегулярных точных измерений позволяет в такте их появления точно определять параметры фильтра (коэффициент усиления и коэффициент его адаптации), обеспечивающие нулевую ошибку оценивания. Подобная перестройка параметров алгоритма оценивания резко увеличивает его сходимость, что иллюстрируется соответствующим примером. Проведено сравнение уровней ошибок оценивания, обеспечиваемых алгоритмами традиционной и предложенной адаптивной фильтрации, демонстрирующее очевидные преимущества последнего.

The possibility of correction of the current estimates of state variables of a nonlinear object for the precise measurements formed with some arbitrariest time frame and also possibility of adaptation of the algorithm of estimation on the received precise measurements which will allow on time frames between them signifi cantly to increase accuracy of estimation is shown. The analytical solution of a problem of adaptive discrete nonlinear filtration using the irregular precise measurements is received. The possibility of the irregular precise measurements allows to specify filter parameters (an intensifi cation coefficient and coeffi cients of its adaptation) providing a zero error of estimation in a step of their emergence. Similar reorganization of parameters of an algorithm of estimation sharply increases its convergence that is illustrated by the corresponding example. The comparison of levels of the errors of estimation provided with algorithms traditional and offered adaptive filtration, showing apparent advantages of the last is carried out.

Проверка гипотезы осуществлялась при помощи текстологического анализа свыше тридцати пяти списков крюковых и нотолинейных ирмологионов середины XVI–XVII вв. задостойника Рождеству Богородицы «Чужде есть матерем» и списков знаменного распева задостойника из древнерусских рукописей. Анализ показал, что в ирмологионах Киевской митрополии существовали две певческие версии киевского извода знаменного распева задостойника Рождеству Богородицы – краткая (столповая) и расширенная, являвшаяся усложненным авторским вариантом столпового распева. Взаимосвязи между расширенной версией киевской традиции и путевым распевом московской традиции не обнаружено, кроме единичных интонационных совпадений, обусловленных единством их исходной модели – столпового знаменного распева.

The article considers the hypothesis, proposed by A.A. Lukashevich, on the conservation of the "early" putevoi raspev (track style) in the Kievan Metropolitanate manuscripts of the XVI–XVIII centuries – Irmologions. Verifi cation of the hypothesis was carried out by textual analysis more than thirty-fi ve kopies of hook and fi ve-line-notation irmologions written in the middle of the XVI–XVII centuries. The materials are irmologion’s copies of zadostoinik of the Nativity of the Virgin "Ciuzhde est materem” and copies of the chant from Old Russian manuscripts. The analysis showed that there were two singing versions of the zadostoinik in Znamenny style. The fi rst version is short (stolpovoi) znamennyi one of the chant and the second version is expanded, advanced author’s chant, but its model is the short melody. The relationship between the expanded version of the Kiev tradition and track style the of the Moscow tradition was not found, except for single intonation coincidences due to the unity of their original model – the short Znamenny version of the chant.

В статье рассматривается период активного творческого взаимодействия композитора А.К. Глазунова и поэта К.Р. (великого князя Константина Романова): подготовка премьеры драмы-мистерии «Царь Иудейский» (1912–1914). В течение нескольких десятилетий в советском государстве замалчивалось это выдающееся сочинение – памятник музыкально-театральной культуры и духовных исканий в ареале художественных тенденций «серебряного века». Внимание к нему возродилось в начале XXI века в концертных залах, аудио записях и научно-исследовательских статьях. Обладая всеми качествами блестящего музыкально-театрального сочинения с участием хора и симфонического оркестра, оно выходит за рамки прикладного назначения. Музыка Глазунова к драме К.Р., созданная на рубеже XIX–XX веков, является одной из вершин многогранного творчества композитора – петербуржца. Впервые вводятся в научный оборот ранее не известные документальные источники, связанные с первой постановкой литургической драмы К.Р. в театре Эрмитажа и участия Глазунова в репетиционном процессе. Факсимиле мужского хора a cappella «Песнь Учеников Иисусовых» и рукописная копия музыкального фрагмента из третьего действия, сохраненные в Государственном Центральном Театральном Музее имени А.А. Бахрушина, соответствуют ключевым моментам музыкальной драматургии уникального произведения, по-видимому, наиболее востребованным в концертной практике.

The article deals with the period of active creative interaction between the composer and the poet K.R. Glazunov (Grand Duke Konstantin Romanov): preparation of the premiere of the mystery drama "The king of the Jews" (1912–1914). For several decades in the Soviet state this outstanding work – a monument of musical and theatrical culture and spiritual searches in the area of artistic trends of the "silver age" was hushed up. Attention to it was revived at the beginning of the XXI century in concert halls, audio recordings and research articles. Having all the qualities of a brilliant musical and theatrical composition with the participation of the choir and Symphony orchestra, it goes beyond the scope of application. Glazunov`s music for the drama of K.R., created at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries, is one of the peaks of the multifaceted creativity of the composer – St. Petersburg. For the first time, previously unknown documentary sources related to the preparation of the premiere of K.R.`s liturgical drama at the Hermitage theatre and Glazunov`s participation in the rehearsal process are introduced into scientific circulation. The "Song Of the disciples of Jesus" and the manuscript copy of the musical fragment of the third act, preserved in the state Central Theatre Museum named after A.A. Bakhrushin, correspond to the key moments of the musical drama of the unique work, apparently the most popular in the concert practice.

Экспериментальный анализ теплообмена в гофровых и микрохолмистых теплообменных каналах, представленный в данной работе, проводился на установке визуализирующей распределения температуры на поверхности электро-обогреваемого охлаждаемого потоком воздуха теплообменного конверта с помощью тепловизора. Экспериментальные исследования проводились в широком диапазоне расходов воздуха г/с. Это соответствовало числам для микрохолмистой и для гофрированной поверхностей. При сравнительном анализе среднее отклонение значений полученных экспериментально на установке от численного моделирования для критерия Нуссельта составило порядка ±5%. Наихудшее систематическое несоответствие чисел Эйлера (превышение расчетных потерь над экспериментом) наблюдается для гидравлических характеристик микрохолмистой поверхности, но и оно не превышает +22% в переходной области, уменьшаясь до +14% в области развитой турбулентности. В пределах данных погрешностей возможно использование численных 3d расчетов для наработки баз данных критериальных зависимостей гофрированных и микрохолмистых теплообменных поверхностей. Для расчета полногабаритных теплообменных аппаратов представлены полученные расчетным путем критериальные зависимости для различных по геометрическим характеристикам моделей гофровой и микрохолмистой поверхностей.

The experimental analysis of heat transfer in plate heat exchange channels, presented in this paper, was carried out on the installation of visualizing the temperature distribution on the surface of the electro-heated air flow cooled heat transfer envelope using a thermal camera. Experimental studies were carried out in a wide range of air flow rates g/s. This corresponded to the numbers for the hilly and for corrugated surfaces. In the comparative analysis, the average deviation of the experimental values from the numerical simulation for the Nusselt criterion was about 15%. The worst systematic discrepancy between the Euler numbers (excess of the calculated losses over the experiment) is observed for the hydraulic characteristics of the hilly surface, but it does not exceed +22% in the transition region, decreasing to +14% in the region of developed turbulence. Within these errors, it is possible to use numerical 3d calculations for the development of databases of criteria dependences of corrugated and hilly heat exchange surfaces. To calculate the full-size heat exchangers obtained by calculation criterion dependences for different geometric characteristics of the models of corrugated and hilly surfaces are presented.

Рассматривается проблема формирования приоритетов финансового обеспечения структурных подразделений Университета (на примере НИТУ “МИСиС”). Для решения выявленных в ходе исследования предметной области недостатков, таких как высокая трудоемкость процесса определения приоритетов финансирования, низкая актуальность получаемых данных и неглубокая аналитика, предложен и реализован модуль кластерного анализа, целью которого является разбиение выборки подразделений университета на кластерные группы. Модуль кластерного анализа обеспечит ЛПР гибким инструментом, позволяющим улучшить понимание данных и повысить качество и эффективность принимаемых решений. Модуль кластерного анализа разработан на базе прикладного решения “1С: Управление холдингом 1.3” и является функциональным расширением существующей Финансово-аналитической системы Университета.

The problem of formation of priorities of financial support of structural divisions of the University (on an example of NITU “MISiS”) is considered. To resolve the problems identified in the course of the research of the subject area, such as the high complexity of the process of determining financing priorities, the low relevance of the data received and the shallow analyst, a cluster analysis module was proposed and implemented, the purpose of which is to break the sample of university divisions into cluster groups. The cluster analysis module will provide DM with a flexible tool to improve understanding of data and improve the quality and effectiveness of decisions. The module of cluster analysis is developed on the basis of the application solution “1C: Management of Holding 1.3” and is a functional extension of the existing Financial and Analytical System of the University.
