Published: December 2023

In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, learning activities became online, resulting in a change in the teaching system. In English, there are several skills that are usually done face-to-face, but due to the covid-19 outbreak, all learning is done online. Ideally, reading skills should be done face-to-face. Of course this is a concern for lecturers in determining learning methods, so that online-based learning outcomes can represent offline learning in a balanced way. In addition, students can also be well facilitated during the learning process like face-to-face learning. The second concern arose because researchers saw a fairly large impact due to the Covid-19 outbreak, especially in the field of tourism. Lampung Province has a lot of contemporary tourism potential that can be a regional and national asset. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, tourism potential has weakened and is getting worse. The purpose of this study is to improve reading skills, increase understanding of the current tourism potential of Lampung Province, and promote the current tourism potential of Lampung Province in the English Club community of Universitas Muhammadiyah Lampung in the new normal era. This study uses a quantitative approach. The method used is Quasi Experimental design. The steps taken include: 1) giving a pre-test several times; 2) provide treatment; 3) give a pot-test several times.

Published: December 2023

A kutatási folyamatnak csak egy része, mondhatni a nyilvánosságnak szánt végterméke a publikáció. A megelőzően összegyűjtött kutatási adatoknak gyakran a nyilvántartása is elmarad. Az Open Science, vagy nyílt tudomány mozgalom ezen a gyakorlaton kíván változtatni. Ugyanakkor kimutatható, hogy a magyarországi kutatóintézetek körében már vannak kialakult gyakorlatok a kutatási adatok repozitóriumokba töltésére. Erre vonatkozóan a jövőben érdemes kiterjedt, szisztematikus felméréseket végezni. A kutatási adatok menedzselése idő- és erőforrásigényes feladat, a könyvtárak számos területen hasznos szerepet játszhatnak a megfelelő adatkezelési gyakorlat kialakításában. A könyvtárosok lehetséges szerepvállalását illetően azonban tudatosítani kell az ezzel kapcsolatos kompetenciák meglétét a kutatói társadalomban, és aktívan keresni kell az együttműködés lehetőségét.
Kutatói e-mail hagyaték archiválása és feldolgozása

Published: December 2023

The management of born-digital content is becoming an increasingly relevant task in the different cultural fields, thus the long-term preservation of digitally generated material has been in the focus of the archivist community since the beginning of the new millennium. In the early twenty-first century, the Library of Congress pointed out its concerns about the fragility of the solely digitally created records. Since such material does not have an analog (physical) version, there is a greater risk of either getting lost, or not being available or accessible in their original form as historical records for future researchers. Preserving digitally generated correspondence between individuals has been an important research area of digital archiving for many years. There are already good practices for archiving e-mails, being a priority especially in the corporate sector. However, merely preserving and making e-mails researchable is not the only issue, since in the case of the cultural heritage materials for instance a critical attitude and a curatorial practice is also essential in the archiving work. Furthermore, one of the reasons why a general solution to e-mail preservation still has not yet been found is that archiving e-mails at different stages of their lifecycle requires radically different solutions. Our research project at the National Laboratory for Digital Heritage focuses on the longterm preservation of an e-mail heritage, more precisely the electronic correspondence of a Hungarian critic and literary historian from Cluj-Napoca (Transylvania), Lajos Kántor. We are investigating how e-mail archiving tools can be used in this specific field, how e-mails can be made visible and researchable as an integral part of the overall heritage, and how the experience gained in preserving and processing paper-based correspondence can be used in archiving and publishing e-mails.

Thermal Tensioning is one of the methods use to minimise the occurrence of residual stress and unwanted distorsion during welding. One of the thermal tensioning methods is Static Thermal Tensioning (STT), which involves countering thermal stress during welding. The STT method requires an active cooling behind the welding line. Several properties are required for the coolant material, such as thermal conductivity, heat resistance, and good flexibility. To achieve the desired properties, a mixture of different materials was used, commonly called a composite. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of filler metal composition and type on the heat resistance of silica rubber matric composites. This study used 2 independent variables: the filler composition in composites with variations of K1 (60%) and K2 (70%), and the type of filler metal, aluminium and copper powder with variation J1 (100%-0%), J2 (75%-25%), J3 (50%-50%), J4 (25%-75%), and J5 (0-100%). The testing process used Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA) method with replication 2 times. The results of this study showed the specimens with K1;J1 composition,containing 60% pure aluminium filler metal, showed the best heat resistance with a final weight of 88,25%. While specimens with K2;J5 composition, containing 70% pure copper filler metal, showed the worst heat resistance with a final weight of 74,25%.

Published: December 2023

This study aims to predict the number of passengers on the Mall Pannakkukang-Galesong Harbor route on the "Teman Bus" fast transit transportation system in Makassar City. Public transportation modes often face the problem of an imbalance between the number of buses and the number of passengers, which can reduce the comfort and efficiency of passenger mobility. To overcome this problem, this study uses a fuzzy logic approach, specifically the Mamdani fuzzy method, to predict the number of passengers who will take the bus based on input variable data that has been collected, such as day temperature and weather, as well as the output variable, namely the number of passengers. The results obtained in this study are based on the inputs given, namely the day with a value of 0.5 and the weather temperature with a value of 30. The number of passengers is 1500, which means the number of passengers is included in the quiet category.

Published: December 2023

This paper describes a study of recycled concrete under compressive loads. The study was conducted in two main parts. In the first part, experimental tests were carried out on concrete samples with varying levels of substitution (25%, 50%, and 75%) with recycled aggregate in order to measure the mechanical properties of the recycled concrete. In the second part of the study, a nonlinear homogenization model was developed on the basis of a classical secant approach to predict the behavior of recycled concrete. In this model, we assume that the behavior of the mortar phase, the concrete, and the recycled aggregates follow Mazars damage law. Comparison with the experimental data shows that the proposed homogenization model is accurate and efficient in predicting the correct nonlinear behavior of the recycled concrete. By better understanding the properties and behavior of recycled concrete, it will be possible to develop more effective methods for incorporating recycled materials into concrete structures.

Published: December 2023

Belgrade fair hall 1 is well known for its dome, which is still the world largest self-supported construction made of pre-stressed concrete, with its diameter of 106 m. In this paper the Finite Element Method (FEM) was performed to analyze different loading and supporting conditions. At the same time, crack growth in a support column was simulated by the extended FEM (XFEM). Results of numerical calculations indicate ingenious design of such a complex structure which was based on “hand” calculation decades ago, without computers. In addition to classical engineering and more advanced numerical calculations, risk based analysis was performed taking into account artificially introduced crack and Failure Analysis Diagram, obtained using stress intensity factor and net stress, as well as fracture toughness and critical stress. This analysis, made for the first time for Belgrade fair hall 1, proved that its structural integrity is jeopardized only when a crack reaches half the thickness of a steel bar.
Requirements for hydraulic modeling of wartime water supply networks and for CBRN pollution risk management

Published: December 2023

Military actions on the territory of Ukraine demonstrated that the termination of centralized water supply can occur both as a result of the direct destruction of water supply facilities, and as a result of power outages, deterioration of water quality at the source, inaccessibility of the water source itself, etc. Therefore, the situation requires the application of completely new approaches to hydraulic modeling, the establishment of new requirements for modeling modes and analysis of the obtained models. Today, the geo-information systems implemented at many Ukrainian water utilities should be used to model adverse scenarios, conduct hydraulic calculations for them, and then determine the optimal ways to improve the situation. There was also a need to conduct hydraulic calculations when developing a response program to chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear (CBRN) water pollution. The analysis of the situation presented in the article allows us to draw a conclusion about the expediency of using Epanet software for this purpose, since specialized software complexes usually do not have the necessary functions. Moreover, for systems that do not have an appropriate hydraulic model, the first stage should be its development, which will include the digitization of the original cartographic information, on-site refinement of distribution networks, determination of network loads, calibration of the model at control points.

Published: December 2023

It was established that the value of the critical stress SK for all experimental steels increases with the increase in the service life, and the impact viscosity decreases, which indicates structural embrittlement of pipe steels associated with their sudden flooding. It is shown that the new 20FA steel has the highest visco-plastic properties and resistance to brittle fracture, which is economically modified with a carbide-forming element (vanadium) and has a fine-grained structure and a low content of harmful impurities (sulfur, phosphorus). The microstrain of the α-Fe crystal lattice, as well as the quantitative decay of cementite and the redistribution of carbon between ferrite and pearlite, were evaluated by X-ray diffraction methods. The new steel grade 10FA is recommended for use in the construction of underground sewage systems and, for example, bridge structures, which are constantly under cyclic loads with simultaneous contact with a corrosive and aggressive environment. For the first time, the influence of the service life of pipelines on the hydrogen content and microcracks in pipe steels was determined.

Authors: Abedi Mahyar , Alshybani Ibrahem , Shahadat MRB , Murillo Michael
Published: December 2023

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, digital technologies have repeatedly disrupted traditional pedagogical methods. This paper explores the latest of these disruptions: the potential integration of large language models (LLMs) and chatbots into graduate engineering education. We begin by tracing historical and technological disruptions to provide context and then introduce key terms such as machine learning and deep learning and the underlying mechanisms of recent advancements, namely attention/transformer models and graphics processing units. The heart of our investigation lies in the application of an LLM-based chatbot in a graduate fluid mechanics course. We developed a question bank from the course material and assessed the chatbot's ability to provide accurate, insightful responses. The results are encouraging, demonstrating not only the bot's ability to effectively answer complex questions but also the potential advantages of chatbot usage in the classroom, such as the promotion of self-paced learning, the provision of instantaneous feedback, and the reduction of instructors' workload. The study also examines the transformative effect of intelligent prompting on enhancing the chatbot's performance. Furthermore, we demonstrate how powerful plugins like Wolfram Alpha for mathematical problem-solving and code interpretation can significantly extend the chatbot's capabilities, transforming it into a comprehensive educational tool. While acknowledging the challenges and ethical implications surrounding the use of such AI models in education, we advocate for a balanced approach. The use of LLMs and chatbots in graduate education can be greatly beneficial but requires ongoing evaluation and adaptation to ensure ethical and efficient use. This paper invites further research and dialogue in this emerging field, with the goal of responsibly harnessing these technologies to advance higher education.

Published: December 2023

Background. The most studied risk factors for Down Syndrom (DS) were: region of residence, exposure to chemicals, parents’ education level, cigarette and alcohol use by father or mother or both, and oral contraceptive (OC) use.
Objective. The aim of this study was to compare certain variables considered as risk factors on DS such as parental age at birth, OC use, child’s sex, and rank of birth between children with DS and their siblings without DS as well as to determine the socio-bio-demographic characteristics of the families studied compared with the general Moroccan population.
Material and Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 277 families with 925 siblings and at least one child with DS (279 with DS) between 2014 and 2017. The data are collected using a standardized questionnaire in MarrakechSafi region. Data were entered and analyzed using the statistical program SPSS statistics software for Windows (version 20.0). Chi-square (χ2) and Student t tests were used for testing statistical significance. Differences were considered significant when the p-value <0.05.
Results. The binary logistic regression analysis between DS and non-DS children in their bio-demographic characteristics studied (sex, maternal age at birth, paternal age at birth, oral contraceptive (OC) use, length of oral contraceptive use before pregnancy and rank of birth) showed that only maternal age and paternal age at birth and OC use were associated with DS birth (OR= 1.16; 95% CL: 1.11-1.21, OR= 1.05; 95%CL: 1.01-1.09 and OR= 0.01; 95%CL: 0.00-0.003, respectively). In the other hand, the comparison between socio and bio-demographic characteristics of households studied with data from National Population Survey and Family health (2018) showed a higher level of education in women and men in our sample. Similar results were shown in rate of men and women in paid employment, the rate of smoking and alcohol consumption among men and the rate of OC use before pregnancy among women.
Conclusion. These results will help to sensitize the Moroccan population about risk factors for DS.

COVID-19 has resulted in devastating economic, social, and psychological effects on a global scale due to its unstoppable and disastrous nature. There is a paucity of literature examining the interconnection between moral distress (MD) and resilience among nurses in the context of the pandemic. We have undertaken a narrative review of the available research on nurses' MD and resilience during the COVID-19 outbreak. A narrative review was performed through an extensive search in databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, from December 1, 2020, to March 29, 2023. Keywords included "COVID-19", "2019-nCoV disease", "2019 novel coronavirus infection", "nurses", "moral distress", and "moral resilience". English-language published articles that matched the inclusion criteria were evaluated and included. Inclusion criteria included review and all descriptive studies evaluating MD and resilience in nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gray literature and letters were excluded from the search results. The study results showed that nurses suffered from MD during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moral resilience is the opposite of MD, which can be reduced by using strategies such as developing the abilities of healthcare workers, strengthening honesty, and reducing their stress and anxiety. On the other hand, strengthening moral resilience by fostering self-regulation capacities, accountability and flexibility, recognizing the boundaries of honesty, and exercising conscientious objections can effectively promote their moral resilience. Considering the challenging conditions among healthcare professionals, especially nurses, in the era of COVID-19, this causes increased MD, which can cause mental and emotional risks for nurses. So, considering the relationship between MD and moral resilience (considered a protective factor) and the inverse relationship between them, it is suggested that by increasing moral resilience, we should reduce MD to survive the difficult period of COVID-19. Protect ourselves from moral and psychological problems and improve patient care quality by following the tips.

This study aimed to evaluate the nurses' knowledge and related factors towards professional ethics. This cross-sectional study was carried out among nurses from Guilan University of Medical Sciences in Rasht, Iran. The research employed a systematic stratified random sampling method to select its samples. Data collection was conducted using a three-part instrument, consisting of questionnaires addressing demographic information. Moreover, the tool gauged participants' knowledge of professional ethics and their adherence to these principles. A total of 354 nurses participated in the present study. The nurses had an average age of 34.7 (SD=8.1) years. The average score of knowledge of professional ethics in nurses was 89.14 (SD=15.3) and the average score of compliance with ethical aspects was 105.20 (SD=56.16). Also, 92.4% of the research samples had good ethical knowledge. In terms of the status of compliance with aspects of professional ethics, 83.9% of the research samples had favorable compliance status. Also, the average score of knowledge of professional ethics and compliance with ethical aspects in nurses had a positive and significant correlation with each other (r=0.424, P=0.001). Therefore, while underscoring the significance of educational interventions aimed at enhancing the knowledge base of practicing nurses, there is potential to strategize actions aimed at advancing both the knowledge level and ethical compliance within the nursing realm. These efforts can play a pivotal role in averting moral dilemmas and conflicts experienced by nurses.

Обґрунтовано, що равликівництво виступає перспективним видом тваринництва в Україні, оскільки забезпечує виробництво продукції з високою доданою вартістю, яка користується підвищеним попитом на світовому ринку продуктів індустрії геліцекультури. Встановлено, що в останні десятиліття на європейських ринках та ринках Китаю зростає попит на продукцію равликівництва через її вагоме значення для забезпечення здорового способу життя та правильного харчування. Виявлено, що розбудова індустрії равликівництва є привабливим видом підприємницької діяльності для сектору фермерських господарств, що має суттєвий вплив на зміцнення інституту фермерства та структурну перебудову сільської економіки. Встановлено, що базовою інституційною передумовою розширеного відтворення потенціалу равликівництва в Україні виступає формування сучасного інструментарію державного регулювання даної ланки тваринництва як логічно упорядкованої сукупності бюджетно-фіскальних, грошово-кредитних, дозвільно-регламентних і консультативних методів та інструментів регуляторного впливу на суб’єкти підприємницької діяльності, котрі спеціалізуються на вирощуванні равликів. Доведено, що формування вітчизняної системи державного регулювання ринку продукції равликівництва має передбачати поєднання національних лекал підтримки вирощування равликів та кращих іноземних практик регуляторного впливу на функціонування равликових ферм. Обґрунтовано, що на даний момент в Україні вже сформовано критично необхідний комплекс регламентів та стандартів контролю якості і безпечності равликів (вимоги до умов утримання равликів, їх годівлі, лікування, а також процедури надання дозволів на здійснення діяльності, пов’язаної з вирощуванням равликів) як невід’ємної складової державного регулювання розвитку равликівництва, що створює умови для продажу даного виду продукції тваринництва на світовому ринку. Доведено, що ключовою ланкою державного регулювання ринку продукції равликівництва виступає система фінансово-економічного стимулювання, яка охоплює набір фіскальних, кредитних та інституційно-майнових преференцій для суб’єктів підприємницької діяльності різних організаційно-правових форм та різних форм власності. Встановлено, що активізація діяльності фермерських господарств в частині розширеного відтворення ресурсно-виробничого потенціалу равликівництва залежить від диверсифікації методів та інструментів прямої та непрямої бюджетної підтримки, що дасть змогу забезпечити залучення додаткових інвестицій у технологічне переоснащення та реконструкцію основного капіталу і підвищити рівень прибутковості та відповідно інвестиційної привабливості вирощування равликів.

Published: December 2023

Статтю присвячено дocлiджeнню теоретико-методичних аспектів цифрової трансформації ринку банківських продуктів і послуг. Авторами, на основі проведенного аналізу наукових знань про теоретико-методичні аспекти цифрової трансформації ринку банківських продуктів і послуг зясовано, що роль банківських установ в економіці стає ще важливішою в умовах стрімкого розвитку інформаційних технологій. А тому, щоб забезпечити конкурентоспроможність, банкам варто не лише активно впроваджувати нові технологічні рішення, а й удосконалювати стандартні фінансові продукти та послуги. При цьому, ринок банківських продуктів і послуг є складним економічним простором, який вимагає від банків активного реагування на зміни у внутрішніх та зовнішніх умовах для забезпечення ефективного функціонування і задоволення потреб клієнтів. Доведено, що сучасні банки перетворюються на конгломерати величезних обсягів інформації і потребують готових фінтех-продуктів, які дозволяють їм ефективно зменшувати витрати та збільшувати прибуток. Тому штучний інтелект, обробка великих обсягів даних та ефективне їх використання для таргетингу банківських продуктів наразі визнаються ключовими факторами. Варто зазначити, що для багатьох банків перехід до управління, що базується на аналізі даних (data-driven), стає пріоритетним напрямком цифрової трансформації, отже це дозволяє отримати нові переваги завдяки великим обсягам даних та аналітиці. Встановлено, що технології та інновації грають важливу роль у формуванні сучасного обличчя банківської системи, а їх вплив та використання може тільки зростати в майбутньому. Авторські дослідження та aнaлiз пoкaзaв, щo з урахуванням особливостей внутрішньої діяльності вітчизняних банків пропонується механізм впровадження нових банківських продуктів та послуг. Водночас важливим етапом є отримання охоронних документів, що дозволяє використовувати конкурентні переваги в сучасному світі. З цими документами банки можуть захищати свої розробки та ноу-хау. Враховуючи конкурентний характер банківського сектору, такий захист стає ключовим для забезпечення стабільності та привабливості нових продуктів і послуг на ринку.

У статті розглянуто науково-методологічне бачення фахівців щодо механізму, методів, факторів, форм залучення іноземних інвестицій в Україну, значення та необхідність іноземних інвестицій для ефективної відбудови та розвитку української економіки. Звернута увага на інвестиційний потенціал України в умовах війни. На основі аналізу наукових підходів українських вчених-економістів запропоновано визначення поняття «система залучення іноземних інвесторів» як організована (впорядкована) сукупність чинників, які підвищують ймовірність встановлення довгострокових та взаємовигідних відносин між державою, органами місцевого самоврядування, вітчизняними суб’єктами господарювання, населенням з одного боку та іноземними інвесторами з іншого. Враховуючи нестабільність міжнародних відносин в сучасних реаліях виділені наступні групи чинників впливу на систему залучення іноземних інвесторів: політичні, військові, фінансово-економічні, правові, ментально-національні, інформаційно-технологічні та природно-ресурсні.
Computed Tomography Spatial and Temporal Trajectories to Quantify Progression Patterns in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Authors: Kadhim Sarah
Published: December 2023

Parametric Response Mapping (PRM) is a computed tomography image analysis technique that quantifies emphysema (PRM Emph) and small airway disease (PRM fSAD) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. In this study, we quantified the longitudinal changes in PRM fSAD and PRM Emph using 3-D clustering and voxel-wise classification approaches and investigated the association with lung function decline. The slope ”D” of the linear regression of the number of clusters vs. cluster size for baseline (BL) and follow-up (FU) PRM fSAD and PRM Emph images were quantified. Increased D indicates more large clusters; small D indicates many small clusters. PRM fSADvoxels at FU were classified as “growth” if they were spatially connected to voxels at BL, and “newly-formed” if not connected to PRM fSADvoxels at BL. The same process was repeated for emphysema voxels. For PRM Emph, there was a significant increase in D at FU for At Risk (p=0.001) and moderate-severe (p=0.02) participants. For PRM fSAD, there was a significant increase in D at FU for At Risk, mild, and moderate-severe (p<0.0001). In COPD participants, the FU-BL change in lung function FEV m1asure was associated with the FU-BL change in D PRM Emph (SEM=0.13, p=0.034). The FU-BL change in FEV /FVC 1as associated with the FU-BL change in D PRM fSAD (SEM= -5.84, p=0.0003). Overall, newly-formed PRM Emph and growth PRM Fsadvoxels were associated with FEV 1ecline (p= 0.038 and p=0.031, respectively), and with FEV /FV1 decline (p<0.0001 and p=<0.0001, respectively). In conclusion, increase in the number of large emphysema and small airway disease clusters over time. Emphysema small clusters and large clusters of small airway disease were associated with lung function decline. A growth in small airway disease and formation of new emphysema regions over time had the greatest impact on lung function decline.

Published: December 2023

18. yüzyılın ilk yarısından 19. yüzyılın sonuna kadar İran mimarisinde Şiraz mimari ekolü damgasını vurmuştur. Bu ekol İsfahan mimari ekolünün devamıdır. İsfahan mimari ekolü, Safevî döneminde oluşmaya başlamış ve I. Şah Abbas’ın desteğiyle zirvesine ulaşmıştır. Şiraz mimari ekolü de Zend dönemiyle bağlantılıdır. Bununla birlikte her iki mimari ekolün ardından, Kaçar Nâsırüddin Şah döneminde İran’ın siyasal ve sosyal bağlamında meydana gelen değişimler Tahran mimari ekolünün oluşumunda önemli etki yaratmıştır. İsfahan ve Tahran mimari ekolleri arasında yer alan Şiraz ekolü, mimari sanatında aktarım niteliği taşıyan bazı özelliklere sahiptir. Bu sayede İsfahan mimari ekolünden alınan unsurlar ile süsleme motifleri geliştirilerek bazı yeniliklerle birlikte Tahran mimari ekolüne kazandırılmıştır. Söz konusu üç ekolün mimari tipleri ve mekânsal alanları neredeyse ortaktır. Ayna işçiliği, yağlı boya duvar resimleri ve taş kullanımı İsfahan ekolünde henüz başlarken Şiraz ve Tahran mimarilerinde belli bir seviyeye ulaşmıştır. Şiraz mimari ekolündeki duvar resimleri ikonografi ve arkaizm tarzının Tahran mimari ekolünde takip edilmiştir. İkonografide süslü genç erkek ve kadınların siması, büst şeklinde tuval üzerine resmedilmiştir. Bu makalede, Şiraz mimari ekolü incelenip söz konusu iki ekolle mukayese edilecek ve İran mimarisinin oluşumunda karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yapılacaktır.
A Case of Subcutaneous Emphysema and Pneumomediastinum After Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty
Authors: Yoon Chan Ho , Park Sae Hwan , Park In Beom , Kim Sangjun
Published: December 2023

The Eustachian tube is a passage that connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx and regulates the pressure within the middle ear. If there is persistent inflammation in the mucosa due to infection or allergic reactions, the opening of the Eustachian tube may not function properly, leading to obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction. If symptoms persist even after three months of conservative treatment, balloon Eustachian tuboplasty may be considered. Although rare, severe complications such as subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax can occur, but there have been no reported cases of such complications in the Republic of Korea so far. Here, we present a case of a 52-year-old male who developed subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum after undergoing balloon Eustachian tuboplasty and discuss prevention and treatment for possible complications following the procedure.
