A well-developed immune system of the organism, which, among other things, arises as a result of a healthy lifestyle, is a prerequisite for a healthy and quality life. Natural food products, primarily honey and other bee products, greatly contribute to the proper development of the body's immune response to the harmful effects of foreign substances. Honey and other bee products are a valuable and rich source of biologically active substances. They have been used for centuries in traditional medicine, due to their wide range of antibacterial, antiradical, antioxidant and anticancer effects, as well as their supportive effect in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Consumption of honey contributes to the improvement of immunity and enriches the human diet with many valuable nutrients and bioactive substances. Bioactive substances, including polyphenols, are organic chemical compounds naturally present in honey. Polyphenols are important secondary metabolites of plants that are transferred to honey along with nectar, pollen or propolis. Several studies have confirmed the immunomodulatory role of the basic phenolic compounds present in honey. For the purpose of our research, a total of 21 samples of honey and 10 samples of alcoholic propolis extract were collected, mostly from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Based on the obtained results, it is clear that honey itself is a rich source of antioxidants in the diet, but that the addition of propolis significantly increases its antioxidant power. The addition of propolis to honey significantly increased the antioxidant activity of all analyzed samples. After the addition of propolis, the highest antioxidant activity was again shown by a sample of forest honey from the area of Bihać, Una-Sana Canton (Š5) and its antioxidant activity is 1143.96 µmol Fe (II) / L. The lowest antioxidant activity after the addition of propolis was shown by the meadow sample of honey from Sanski Most, Una-Sana Canton, (L21), 462.71 µmol Fe (II) / L.Based on the presented results, it is clear that after the addition of propolis in the analyzed honey samples there was a significant increase in the concentration of polyphenols by an average of 11.96%.

Published: June 2022

The compilation of Islamic Law shows that there are unwritten laws in the lives of Indonesian Muslim people. Indonesian national law recognizes written and unwritten law. Therefore the compilation has Islamic law made to fill the void for Indonesian Muslims. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the compilation of Islamic law in the religious court of Palu city in Indonesia. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data has been collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with court judges and religious court officials in Palu. Furthermore, the data is presented in a matrix which is then analyzed using a thematic approach. The results of this study indicate that the use of compilations of Islamic law as a guideline in the religious courts of the city of Palu has been very effective. Since the beginning of its use on June 10, 1991, there have been many judges' decisions based on the compilation of Islamic law. Then the judges also no longer give different decisions in the same case because they already have one standard guideline. However, this research is only limited to the study of decisions related to divorce without involving cases of claims for the distribution of marital property. Future research needs to examine whether religious court decisions related to the distribution of marital property have also followed the compilation of Islamic law uniformly.

Türkiye 1980'li yıllarda gelişmekte olan ülkelerin ihracata dayalı ekonomik modellerini benimseyerek kendine gelişmiş ülkelerin seviyesine ulaşabilmeyi hedef edinmiştir. Devlet ihracatı geliştirebilme adına çeşitli stratejiler benimsenmiş, ithalat kısıtlamalarını kaldırarak ihracatın artırılmasına odaklanmıştır. 1990'lı yıllardan itibaren dış ticarette önemli gelişmeler yaşanmış ve 2000'li yıllarda da bu artış devam etmiştir. Fakat elde edilen veriler ithalat artışının sürekli olarak ihracat artışından daha fazla olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu durumun sebeplerinden biri de Türkiye ekonomisinde sermaye ve ara ürün ithalatının üretimde kritik bir faktör oluşturmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye’de makine sanayinde hedeflenen bir ihracat rakamına ulaşılırken üretiminde kullanılan ve yine makine sanayinde yer alan ithal sermayenin miktar tahminin sağlanmasıdır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda dünyada en çok kompresör ihracatı yapan ülkelere ait kompresör ihracatı verileri, kompresör üretiminde kullanılan kaynak makinalarının ithalat verileri ve Gayri Safi Yurt İçi Hasıla (GSYİH) verileri elde edilmiştir.

Authors: PAYLAN Mehmet Ali , KAVAS Yusuf Bahadır
Published: June 2022

This study aims to test whether financial literacy, which is one of the most studied topics in behavioral finance in recent years, affects compulsive and impulsive buying behavior. It also aims to answer whether financial literacy mediates the relationship between personality traits and compulsive and impulsive buying behavior. The population consists of people over the age of 18 residing in Turkey. Data were collected using an online questionnaire from 405 participants selected by convenience sampling from this population. To test the hypothesis, data were subjected to regression and mediation analysis. The results show that financial literacy has a significant effect on compulsive and impulsive buying behavior and also type A and B personality has a significant effect on financial literacy. On the other hand, Financial literacy doesn’t mediate between A and B personality typologies and compulsive and impulsive buying behaviors. In future studies, especially if financial literacy is measured on a continuous scale, the research model might be show more significant results in terms of mediation effect. Based on the findings, the increase in the level of financial literacy may positively affect the saving tendencies of individuals. Thus, individuals will be prevented from compulsive and impulsive buying behaviors. This study is original as it is the first research in the literature that examines financial literacy and irrational buying behaviors together.

Ülkeler arasında ticaretin serbestleşmesi ile birlikte uluslararası ticaret büyük oranda artmış ve dış ticaret hacmindeki artış, ülke ekonomileri üzerinde olumlu veya olumsuz etkilerin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bu bağlamda ülkelerin izlemiş oldukları dış ticaret politikalarının ekonomik büyüme ve enflasyon üzerinde yarattığı etkiler iktisat yazınında tartışılan önemli konular arasına girmiştir. Dış ticaret, enflasyon ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiler, politika yapıcılar tarafından makroekonomik sorunlara çözüm yolları üretilmesi bakımından da araştırmacıların ilgisini çekmektedir.
Enflasyon, dış ticaret ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkisini Türkiye için ekonometrik olarak analiz eden bu çalışmada, 2003-2021 dönemine ait üçer aylık veriler kullanılmıştır. Değişkenlere öncelikle birim kök testi uygulanarak durağanlık dereceleri (dₘₐₓ) tespit edilmiş olup ardından VAR modeli yardımıyla en uygun gecikme uzunluğu (p+dₘₐₓ) değeri saptanmıştır. (p+dₘₐₓ) değeri dikkate alınarak VAR modeli tekrar tahmin edilmiş ve tanılayıcı testler ile modelin varsayımları karşılayıp karşılamadığı araştırılmıştır Son olarak Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik analizinden yararlanarak değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin mevcut olup olmadığı ve yönü tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre; dış ticaret hadleri ile ekonomik büyüme değişkenleri arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Ancak dış ticaret hadleri ile enflasyon arasında herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilememiştir. Ayrıca ekonomik büyümeden enflasyona doğru herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilemese de enflasyondan ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğu bulgusu, söz konusu analiz sonuçlarından elde edilen bulgular arasındadır.

Available treatment methods for pulp and paper industries waste effluent include biological treatment, adsorption, chemical precipitation, which are of high cost of the treatment and suitable for small and medium scale industries. Among the available methods, the chemical precipitation method is commonly used, which requires addition of chemical coagulants and generates more sludge compared to electrooxidation. The electrochemical method of organic matter destruction is a suitable alternative for the treatment of pulp and paper mill effluent, which combines the benefit of electrooxidation and electrocoagulation, capable of removing fine particles as a result of coagulation and electric field. The objective of the study is to evaluate the potential of electrooxidation for organic matter destruction from the pulp and paper mill effluent under various operating conditions such as pH, voltage, reaction time, and to optimize the operating conditions to maximize COD removal using response surface modelling. The wastewater for this study was collected from a pulp and paper mill located in Odisha, with wastewater collected from the outlet of the wastewater discharge before entering the treatment plant, and stored under 20 C to prevent its degradation. The results obtained from this study concluded 73.48% COD removal under optimum conditions (pH=9, V=11.2 V, RT=60 min) however, under experimental conditions, COD removal of 72.90% was observed. This batch monopolar electrooxidation system is efficient to remove COD from pulp and paper mill wastewater, and further studies are required on a continuous reactor to scale up the COD removal by electrooxidation.

Spinner Flask Bioreactors are usually made up of glass or plastic vessel which have been widely used in Tissue Engineering from production of articular cartilage to production of osteoblast cells that help in bone regeneration. Cartilage grown in spinner flask bioreactors had more cells and less GAG than the other types of bioreactors in tissue engineering. In recent years, these bioreactors have also been used for the invitro cultivation of human tenocytes and MSCs. In this type of bioreactor, the cell/scaffold constructs are connected to vertical needles striking from pinnacle of the vessel and immersed inside the culture medium. The pinnacle or the top part of this bioreactor is used for gas exchange and medium oxygenation. Mixing of the medium is maintained with a stir bar at the lowest of the vessel or different blending mechanisms. Spinner Flask Bioreactors have grabbed increased attention in recent years due to its wide range of Tissue Engineering applications. In this review, we have tried to explore the different domains where these bioreactors have found enhanced applications.

Artvin’den Ahıska’ya uzanan çizgide yer alan ağız bölgesi, her ne kadar Anadolu ağızlarının doğu grubu içinde değerlendirilmekteyse de içinde barındırdığı Oğuzca dışı dil unsurlarıyla bu ağızlardan ayrılmaktadır. Bu makalede ele alınıp incelenen /–(y)Ança(y/ğ)i/ biçimbirimi de bahsedilen unsurlardan birini teşkil etmektedir. Çalışmamızda biçimbirimin evvela tarihî ve çağdaş Türk lehçeleri içinde yayılımı ele alınmış, sonra yapısı ve işlevleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu biçimbirimin aynısı veya benzerlerinin tarihî lehçelerden Kıpçak, Harezm ve Çağatay Türkçelerinde; çağdaş lehçelerden ise Kazan Tatar, Karaçay-Malkar, Kumuk, Nogay, Kazak, Karakalpak, Kırgız, Özbek, Türkmen ve Yeni Uygur Türkçelerinde kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Artvin-Ahıska ağızları hariç ölçünlü Türkiye Türkçesi ve Türkiye Türkçesi ağızlarında, Irak, Suriye, Gagauz ve Azerbaycan Türkçesi metinlerinde belirlenememiştir. Ancak az sayıda örnekte Gürcistan-Borçalı Terekeme-Karapapah Türkçesi ile Güney Azerbaycan Türkçesi ağızlarında Artvin-Ahıska ağızlarıyla paralel bir biçim ve kullanımla yer aldığı görülmüştür. Türkmen Türkçesindeki varlığını, Çağatay Türkçesinin tesiriyle açıklamak ve bu biçimbirimin Oğuz grubu lehçelerinde ortak unsur olmadığını iddia etmek doğru olacaktır. Dolayısıyla /–(y)Ança(y/ğ)i/ biçimbiriminin Artvin, Ahıska ile Borçalı Terekeme-Karapapak ve Güney Azerbaycan ağızlarındaki kullanımının ancak bölgedeki Oğuz dışı Türk yerleşimleriyle izah edilmesi mümkün görülmektedir.

Bir ulusun bireylerinin o ulusla olan bağlarını oluşturan en önemli öğelerden, etkenlerden biri dildir. Dil, insani çerçevede ele alındığında, sadece bir gereksinimin açıklanması olarak kullanılan bir araç olmaktan öte, insana özgü tüm duyguların yansıtılma sürecine eşlik eden bir kavramı açıklar. Herhangi bir toplumun dilini analiz edebilmek için o toplumun tarihiyle birlikte etkileşim içerisinde olduğu diğer toplumların o dil üzerinde sağladığı etki de gözetilmelidir. Rus dilinin gelişimsel süreci de Vinagrodov ve Şahmatov gibi önemli bilim adamları tarafından tarihsel bağlamda sınıflandırılmıştır. XXI. yüzyılda ise dil ve kültür arasındaki etkileşimin dil üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaya çalışan kültürdilbilim fenomenin ortaya çıkmasıyla dil ve kültürün birbirinden bağımsız düşünülemeyeceği gerçeği kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, dilin toplumlara özgü kültürel değerleri taşımasındaki önemiyle birlikte bu önemin hangi kültürel ve etkileşimsel etmenler sonucunda bozulmaya maruz kaldığı, bozulmaların önlenmesi amacıyla yapılması gerekenlerin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır.
The Written Sources of Modern Firearm Training in the Ottoman Army and an Evaluation of Mahmud Şevket Pasha's Works in This Field
Authors: METE Ali Serdar
Published: June 2022

The Ottoman administration took European armies as a model in all areas of military modernization. Taking modern armies as a model, both in educational and organizational means, provided the new technology weapons, which were the basic need of these armies, to enter the Ottoman army inventory. Each new weapon brought with it the need for training in the familiarization and use of the weapon. The Ottoman officers trained in modern military schools took part in meeting this need. In addition to playing an active role in weapon purchases, this staff shared their knowledge and experience for the effective use of such weapons. Thus, important works on modern firearms were published. Fenn-i Esliha (The Science of Weapon) books, one of these works offered to the use of military students and officers, contained general information about all firearms used in the Ottoman army. In addition to Fenn-i Esliha books, manuals written specifically for a weapon or a model also played a significant role in familiarizing new weapons. Mahmud Şevket Pasha, who gained serious experience in firearms with his duties and later rose to the position of grand vizier, was also one of the officers who penned his experiences. He had a book called Fenn-i Esliha as well as his three of other works were aimed at introducing Mauser rifles. These works containing detailed information on rifles were also supported by images. These three publications, from which the enthusiasts can access extremely specific and technical information, were among the most comprehensive examples of the firearm training literature of the Ottoman army.
A vagyonelkobzás és a polgári jogi igény érvényesítésének problematikája a bírói gyakorlat tükrében
Authors: Blaskó Béla , Horgos Lívia
Published: June 2022

Aim: As a starting point of our investigation, we chose a real case, which included confiscation of assets and a civil law claim defined by criminal procedural law. This case is unique in a sense that the civil law claim of the aggrieved party, ‘a state institution’ arouse only after the final decision on the confiscation of assets.Methodology: Our choice fell on this case, because we intend to investigate whether the prohibition of double confiscation, the right for just procedure and the due process of law were violated by the confiscation of assets and the satisfaction of civil law claim.Findings: In our study we describe the functions and main characteristics of confiscation of assets and civil law claims and we outline the former and actual regulations of these two legal institutions as codified in substantial and procedural law. The examination of the punitive power of Hungarian constitutional state is a topical issue in contemporary research concerning legal literature and jurisprudence. Our examination – as a topical issue – focusses on the question whether there can be any doubt concerning the punitive power of a constitutional state in the 21st century. We examine the collision between the confiscation of assets and civil law claims and – if there any – its influence on legislation and judicature.Value: Our conclusion is that in a constitutional state – as a result of the prohibition of double confiscation – the detriment of the accused cannot be increased by a dual confiscation, partly to the benefit of the state in the form of confiscation of assets, and partly to the benefit of a so called ’state’ fiscal institution by a civil law claim. The examined legal case illustrates that the basic elements of a constitutional state – especially the due process of law, the right for just procedure – have to be provided by legislation and judicature. This possibility has to be codified in actual Hungarian legal regulations, but its content is the topic of future research.
Laboratory Measurement of Millimeter-wave Transitions of 13CH2DOH for Astronomical Use

Published: June 2022

Methanol (CH3OH) is an abundant interstellar species and is known to be an important precursor of various interstellar complex organic molecules. Among the methanol isotopologues, CH2DOH is one of the most abundant isotopologues and it is often used to study the deuterium fractionation of CH3OH in interstellar medium. However, the emission lines of CH2DOH can sometimes be optically thick, making the derivation of its abundance unreliable. Therefore, observations of its presumably optically thin 13C substituted species, 13CH2DOH, are essential to overcome this issue. In this study, the rotational transitions of 13CH2DOH have been measured in the millimeter-wave region from 216 GHz to 264 GHz with an emission-type millimeter- and submillimeter-wave spectrometer by using a deuterium and 13C enriched sample. The frequency accuracy of measured 13CH2DOH is less than a few kHz, and the relative line intensity error is less than 10% in most of the frequency range by taking advantage of the wide simultaneous frequency-coverage of the emission-type spectrometer. These results offer a good opportunity to detect 13CH2DOH in space, which will allow us to study the deuterium fractionation of CH3OH in various sources through accurate determination of the CH2DOH abundance.
α-deep Probabilistic Inference (α-DPI): Efficient Uncertainty Quantification from Exoplanet Astrometry to Black Hole Feature Extraction
Authors: Sun He , Bouman Katherine L. , Tiede Paul , Wang Jason J. , Blunt Sarah , Mawet Dimitri
Published: June 2022

Inference is crucial in modern astronomical research, where hidden astrophysical features and patterns are often estimated from indirect and noisy measurements. Inferring the posterior of hidden features, conditioned on the observed measurements, is essential for understanding the uncertainty of results and downstream scientific interpretations. Traditional approaches for posterior estimation include sampling-based methods and variational inference (VI). However, sampling-based methods are typically slow for high-dimensional inverse problems, while VI often lacks estimation accuracy. In this paper, we propose α-deep probabilistic inference, a deep learning framework that first learns an approximate posterior using α-divergence VI paired with a generative neural network, and then produces more accurate posterior samples through importance reweighting of the network samples. It inherits strengths from both sampling and VI methods: it is fast, accurate, and more scalable to high-dimensional problems than conventional sampling-based approaches. We apply our approach to two high-impact astronomical inference problems using real data: exoplanet astrometry and black hole feature extraction.
Onset of Particle Acceleration during the Prompt Phase in Gamma-Ray Bursts as Revealed by Synchrotron Emission in GRB 160821A

Published: June 2022

The physical processes of gamma-ray emission and particle acceleration during the prompt phase in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are still unsettled. In order to perform unambiguous physical modeling of observations, a clear identification of the emission mechanism is needed. An instance of a clear identification is the synchrotron emission during the very strong flare in GRB 160821A, which occurred during the prompt phase at 135 s. Here we show that the distribution of the radiating electrons in this flare is initially very narrow but later develops a power-law tail of accelerated electrons. We thus identify for the first time the onset of particle acceleration in a GRB jet. The flare is consistent with a late energy release from the central engine causing an external shock as it encounters a preexisting ring nebula of a progenitor Wolf–Rayet star. Relativistic forward and reverse shocks develop, leading to two distinct emission zones with similar properties. The particle acceleration only occurs in the forward shock, moving into the dense nebula matter. Here, the magnetization also decreases below the critical value, which allows for Fermi acceleration to operate. Using this fact, we find a bulk Lorentz factor of 420 ≲ Γ ≲ 770 and an emission radius of R ∼ 1018 cm, indicating a tenuous gas of the immediate circumburst surroundings. The observation of the onset of particle acceleration thus gives new and independent constraints on the properties of the flow as well as on theories of particle acceleration in collisionless astrophysical shocks.

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women’s health and nutritional status must be maintained because they are indicators of perinatal growth and neonatal welfare; efforts to prevent fetal growth disorders must begin with pregnant women, one of which is through increased knowledge and nutritional supplementation.

AIM: This study aimed to examine the effect of family-based education and zinc supplementation on knowledge, weight, upper arm circumference, nutritional intake, serum zinc levels, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), hemoglobin, infant anthropometry, and placenta in stunted pregnant women.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Quasi-experiment with a pre-post-test control design was carried out from September 2020 to June 1, 2021, in four areas of the Mamuju Regency City Health Center. The subject population is pregnant women aged 20–26 weeks gestation, experiencing chronic energy deficiency.

RESULTS: The mean knowledge increased in the intervention group with a rate of change of 133.57%, while the control group did not experience a significant increase. Unpaired t-test showed a significant difference in the mean serum zinc, IGF-1, and hemoglobin levels with p < 0.001.

CONCLUSION: Zinc supplementation is very beneficial for pregnant women, especially teenage pregnant women who have chronic energy deficiency, but the results of zinc supplementation are better accompanied by providing education based on a family approach, as a form of community support system for mothers, because family diet has a strong impact on pregnant women diet.

The high unmet need affected the high maternal mortality rate in Indonesia. One of the factors causing unmet needs is unoptimal family planning counseling. The tool used for family planning counseling in Indonesia is the decision-making tool for family planning flipchart. However, the use of the flipchart  is not optimal because it has various limitations such as being less practical. Researchers have innovated in making decision-making tools for a family planning application.  This study aims to develop the decision-making tool for a family planning application by conducting a feasibility test by material experts.  This was a research and development study design. The research subjects were six midwives as material experts. The research instrument includes the decision-making tool for a family planning application, as well as a questionnaire. Data analysis includes descriptive univariable analysis.  The results of the feasibility test for the decision-making tool for family planning application according to material experts obtained a value of 81.3%, which is categorized as very suitable for use as a family planning counseling medium. Further researchers are expected to develop a second-level application by conducting a trial limited-scale, wide-scale trials, and level 3 testing with experimental designs using a control group.

All participants were attended ten lessons covering important content of first aid for an injured person in road accidents. Each lesson includes reading texts, 3-min animation videos, and pre-test and post-test. Data analysis includes a comparison of the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores using the paired t-test. The participant’s satisfaction was analyzed using descriptive statistics.

RESULTS: The 42 participants were participated in this study. Sixty-two percent of the participants had no previous first aid experience for an injured person in road accidents. The mean pre-test and post-test scores were 25.31 ± 3.87 and 27.50 ± 2.91, respectively. There was a significant difference between the pre-test and the post-test scores (p < 0.001). The participant’s level of satisfaction score was very good (4.25 ± 0.95).

CONCLUSIONS: The first aid self-learning web application significantly improved the first aid knowledge of the web application users. Moreover, most participants reported good level of satisfaction for using this tool. This emphasized that the first aid self-learning web application was the great tool in COVID-19 learning.

Published: June 2022

In recent years the trend towards surgical bioprosthetic valve implantation, especially among young patients, has increased in order to avoid anticoagulant therapy. The patient’s age remains one of the leading risk factors for valve dysfunction. Gold standard for treating such diseases was surgical reintervention until the development of transcatheter heart valves. By 2050 the annual number of patients undergoing surgical bioprosthetic valve implantation is expected to triple from an average of 290,000 in 2003 to over 850,000. This study presents the literature review of Valve in Valve and Valve in Ring procedures, as well as our experience in ViV and ViR transcatheter valve implantation.
Quelle capacité d’autonomisation d’un gouvernement métropolitain ?
Authors: Dubois Jérôme
Published: June 2022

Depuis 2010, la France a cherché à renforcer la coopération intercommunale par la création des métropoles. Cet article étudie les conditions d’élaboration d’un projet partagé à l’échelle de ces nouveaux ensembles urbains à partir de l’analyse de la construction du SCOT métropolitain d’Aix Marseille Provence qui rassemble 92 communes et 1,8 million d’habitants. La volonté d’intégration de l’ensemble des enjeux et des compétences dans une super intercommunalité pourrait aboutir à une impasse dans le cas d’aires urbaines polycentriques dans lesquelles la multiplication des arrangements institutionnels vient obérer la capacité à porter des politiques publiques. L’absence de leadership politique ne permet pas de répondre au nombre croissant d’arbitrages attendus dans des documents d’urbanisme non pensés à cette échelle.
Employability and professional success: A study about economy and business graduates
Authors: Monllau Jaques Teresa
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to suggest determinants and variables that affect employability, entering the labour market and professional success.   Design/methodology/approach: Our analysis has been conducted among Economy and Business graduates in Catalonia. The data was collected from the Agencia Catalana per a la Qualitat Universitària (AQU) survey that was carried out in 2014; the results were published in 2017.We have defined two dependent variables: the amount of time spent in finding a first job and the salary level two years after concluding graduate studies. We have defined eight independent variables. The independent variables are related to academic, economic and social questions as well as to those aspects related to the labour market. We analysed the relationship between, dependent and independent variables using correlation analysis.Findings: Our results show that academic variables are not important in relation to the duration of entering the labour market. Nevertheless, the socio-economic variables and previous experience in the labour market play an important role. If our analysis focuses on professional success, the factors related to the academic and socio-economic backgrounds and the type of professional contract will play a decisive role. The labour situation is very important to guarantee professional success. Precarious job conditions pose an obstacle in professional advancement. The relationship to work experience before finishing graduate studies is not clear.Originality/value: The study that we have carried out in this paper, aims to alert future employees about the factors that improve employability and professional success. In this way, graduates can plan their professional life.

Published: June 2022

Revesz syndrome is a rare telomeropathy characterized by bone marrow failure and exudative retinopathy. We report the case of a 2-year-old male child, initially treated with bilateral laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity. He developed exudative changes in the right eye, presumed to be Coats disease. Later, the left eye developed a total vitreous hemorrhage. Proliferative retinopathy was noted intraoperatively. Systemic features of bone marrow failure, growth retardation, and nail pigmentation were present. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of Revesz syndrome. We describe our approach to diagnosis and surgical management of the case.

High-resolution phantom of a nephron for radiation nephrotoxicity evaluation in biophysical simulations
Authors: Jabbary Masoud , Rajabi Hossein
Published: June 2022

Computer simulation plays an important role in medical physics. The aim of this study was to generate an accurate model to calculate the absorbed dose at the cell level in a voxelized phantom of nephrons. In order to implement a model of kidney microdosimetry, a 3D mesh phantom of a human kidney nephron, representing a cortical nephron, was digitized to create a 3D voxelized phantom of a nephron for use in Monte Carlo simulations. The phantom was fed to GATE Monte Carlo toolkits, and simulations were performed to calculate the absorbed dose/energy from alpha and electron sources over a range of energy levels. The results were compared to the results published in literature that were derived by using a stylized phantom. The dose estimated in subunits of the voxelized and stylized phantoms showed a considerable bias (average of relative differences). The maximum difference for self-absorption was 12.5%, and up to 20% for cross-absorption. The digital phantom showed very significant differences in dose distribution among the cells in different subunits of the nephron. The results demonstrated that a small dissimilarity in the size and shape of subunits can lead to a considerable difference in the microdosimetry results. The model presented in this study offers a phantom that not only presents the realistic geometry of a nephron, which has been neglected in previous stylized models, but also one that has the capability of plotting the spatial distribution of the absorbed dose for any distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in nephron cells.
Existence of invariant curves for degenerate almost periodic reversible mappings
Authors: Huang Peng
Published: June 2022

In this paper we are concerned with the existence of invariant curves for almost periodic reversible mappings with higher order degeneracy of the twist condition. In the proof we use a new variant of the KAM theory, containing an artificial parameter \begin{document}$ q, 0<q<1 $\end{document}, which makes the steps of the KAM iteration infinitely small in the speed of function \begin{document}$ q^n \varepsilon, $\end{document} rather than super exponential function.
Mean square synchronization for stochastic delayed neural networks via pinning impulsive control
Authors: Li Yilin , Feng Jianwen , Wang Jingyi
Published: June 2022

The mean square synchronization for a class of general stochastic delayed neural networks is explored in this paper using pinning impulsive control (PIC). It is evident that PIC combines the profits of pinning control and impulsive control. Considering that there is a time delay between the allocation and execution of impulsive instructions in practice, the idea of average impulsive delay (AID) is brought to describe this kind of delay. Furthermore, in actuality, neural networks with internal delay and stochastic disturbance are more general. Accordingly, some appropriate criteria are derived using the Lyapunov stability theory and the Fubini theorem to ensure mean square synchronization in two different cases, namely when the controller is designed with and without the impulsive delay. Finally, some numerical examples are afforded to validate the efficiency of theoretical results.

A pseudo-spectral scheme for variable order fractional stochastic Volterra integro-differential equations
Authors: Algahtani Obaid , Abdelkawy M. A. , Lopes António M.
Published: June 2022

A spectral collocation method is proposed to solve variable order fractional stochastic Volterra integro-differential equations. The new technique relies on shifted fractional order Legendre orthogonal functions outputted by Legendre polynomials. The original equations are approximated using the shifted fractional order Legendre-Gauss-Radau collocation technique. The function describing the Brownian motion is discretized by means of Lagrange interpolation. The integral components are interpolated using Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. The approach reveals superiority over other classical techniques, especially when treating problems with non-smooth solutions.
Polynomial time algorithm for minmax scheduling with common due-window and proportional-linear shortening processing times
Authors: Jia Xue , Xue Jing , Wang Shi-Yun , Wang Ji-Bo
Published: June 2022

This article deals with common due-window assignment and single-machine scheduling with proportional-linear shortening processing times. Objective cost is a type of minmax, that is, the maximal cost among all processed jobs is minimized. Our goal is to determine an optimal schedule, the optimal starting time, and size of due-window that minimize the worst cost, which consist of four parts: earliness, tardiness, starting time and length of the due-window. Optimal properties of the problem are given, and then an optimal polynomial algorithm is proposed to solve the problem.

Published: June 2022

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, which has become a worldwide pandemic greatly impacting our daily life and work. A large number of mathematical models, including the susceptible-exposed-infected-removed (SEIR) model and deep learning methods, such as long-short-term-memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent units (GRU)-based methods, have been employed for the analysis and prediction of the COVID-19 outbreak. This paper describes a SEIR-LSTM/GRU algorithm with time-varying parameters that can predict the number of active cases and removed cases in the US. Time-varying reproductive numbers that can illustrate the progress of the epidemic are also produced via this process. The investigation is based on the active cases and total cases data for the USA, as collected from the website "Worldometer". The root mean square error, mean absolute percentage error and $ r_2 $ score were utilized to assess the model's accuracy.
Producción de cerámicas y organización doméstica en las comunidades del Bronce final: procesos de modelado y distribución espacial de los recipientes cerámicos de Genó (noreste de la península ibérica)
Authors: Cámara Manzaneda Javier , García Rosselló Jaume , López-Cachero Francisco Javier , Clop García Xavier
Published: June 2022

Este trabajo reconstruye los procesos de modelado y las maneras de hacer de las producciones cerámicas del Bronce final del asentamiento de Genó (Lleida, España). Integra el estudio de los procesos tecnológicos con la tipología de los recipientes y con su distribución entre las casas de este asentamiento. Las trazas de fabricación revelan que se usaron hasta ocho procesos de modelado a mano para producir las vajillas cerámicas de varias viviendas de este poblado. La comparación de la distribución espacial de los recipientes, de sus características tipológicas y sus procesos de modelado sugieren que la producción cerámica estaba a cargo de varios productores o incluso de varios grupos de productores. En cambio, otros procesos de trabajo en el modelado eran probablemente compartidos en el contexto de la fabricación cerámica. Unas maneras de hacer, además, prevalecen sobre otras localizadas en determinadas casas o áreas del asentamiento. Ello permite proponer nuevas hipótesis acerca de las interacciones sociales y la organización doméstica de las comunidades que habitaron el poblado de Genó durante el Bronce final.
