Catalytic reduction of imines with silylformates: Formation of silyl carbamates through CO2 insertion
Authors: Thyagarajan Neethu , Buhaibeh Ruqaya , Nicolas Emmanuel , Cantat Thibault
Published: October 2024

Silylformates are emerging surrogates of hydrosilanes, able to reduce carbonyl groups in transfer hydrosilylation reactions, with the concomitant release of CO2. In this work, a new reactivity is revealed for silylformates, in the presence of imines. Using ruthenium catalysts, and lithium iodide as a co-catalyst, imines are shown to undergo hydrocarboxysilylation by formal insertion of CO2 to the N-Si bond of silyl amine to yield silyl carbamates in excellent yields.

Method for performing the operation of adding the remainder of numbers modulo
Authors: Krasnobaev V , Kuznetsova K , Bagmut M
Published: October 2024

One of the components of a computer system (CS) in a positional binary number system (PNS) is an adder of two numbers. In particular, adders modulo mi of two numbers are also components of the CS. This type of modulo adders is widely used both in the PNS and in the non-positional number system in the residual classes (RNS). An important and urgent scientific and applied problem is the problem of constructing the adders, which operate by modulus mi, that is an arbitrary RNS modulo. If the remainders ai and bi of both numbers A and B in RNS are represented in a binary PNS, then the adder of two residuals ai and bi by modulus mi is a sequential set of n binary one-bit adders (BOBA). The purpose of the article is to develop a method for performing the operation of modular addition (ai + bi)mod mi of two remainders of numbers by an arbitrary modulo mi based on the use of a positional binary adder modulo M = 2n - 1. The proposed method is based on the use of the well-known structure of positional binary adders modulo M = 2n - 1. Technically, the problem of creating the structure of the modular adder is formulated as follows. It is necessary to provide conditions under which the initial adder in PNS modulo M performs the addition operation modulo mi. This procedure is carried out by introducing additional connections as X¯i­j in the positional adder modulo M = 2n - 1, where the expression X¯i­j denotes one-way connection between the output of the j-th BOBA and the input of the i-th BOBA.
Algorithm for constructing the adder of residues of two numbers modulus

Published: October 2024

An urgent scientific and applied problem is the problem of constructing the adder structure, which is performed on logical elements with two stable states and operates according to an arbitrary modulo mi. This type of adder is used both in the positional binary number system (PNS) and in the non-positional number system in residual classes (RNS). If the residuals ai and bi of numbers А = (a1||a2||…||ai||…||ak ) and B = (b1||b2||…||bi||…||bk ), represented in the RNS are given in a binary PNS, then the adder of two residuals ai and bi modulo mi is a set of n = [log2 (mi - 1)+1] binary one-bit adders (BOBA). Simultaneously, all BOBA are connected as positional binary adders. The purpose of the article is to develop an algorithm for constructing the adder structure of two residuals ai and bi of numbers A and B for an arbitrary modular value mi of RNS. This process is realized by organizing new inter-bit connections of BOBA, using a positional adder modulo M = 2n - 1. It is noted, that there are special sets of modules that are used when processing data in RNS. So, when performing the operation of modular addition of the remainders of numbers, one of three mutually pairwise primes (of the form M = 2n - 1, M = 2n or M = 2n + 1) can be used. It is shown that in order to synthesize an adder modulo mi RNS, in the adder structure modulo M, it is necessary to appropriately form the additional connections.

Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Benhur Çağatay , Zholdasuly Talgat
Published: October 2024

peration Barbarossa, the most important turning point of the Second World War, was also of great importance for Türkiye, which was in danger of going to war at any moment. The German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact signed on 23 August 1939 did not last long. As a matter of fact, Germany attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, and this started a new era for the Second World War. This situation, which further increased Türkiye’s uneasiness about the war, was followed closely by the Turkish press, and the war discourses expressed just before the attack were constantly brought to the agenda. Docu-ment analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. In this study, the views of the Turkish public on this great front that shook the whole world were followed through Akşam, Cum-huriyet, Tan and Ulus newspapers. News and columns about the subject in newspapers were included in the study. Thus, it was aimed to develop a perspective that has never been put forward by the press on the subject before. As a result, it has been determined that the Turkish press, which does not want Türkiye to actually take part in this war, uses cautious, peaceful but realistic discourses.
TURKIC ROOTS OF THE KAZAKH NATIONAL IDEA: HISTORIOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Zholdybalin Rustem
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the emergence of modern national identities among the late 19th – early 20th century Turkic people, discussing the complex interplay between pre-modern ethnic organization and modern national identity. The study investigates the rise of nationalist ideas among Turkic Muslim popu-lations under Ottoman and Russian rule, particularly emphasizing the Kazan Tatars, the Ottoman Turks, and Central Asian communities. The historiographic analysis highlights the role of key intellectual figures in shaping these identities through linguistic, historical, and cultural reforms. The main focus is on the foreign influences on the development of Kazakh intelligentsia; while the classic academic literature praises Russian and European thought in that development, particularly through interactions with Jadid reformers and Russian ethnographers, this paper tackles that notion by examining previously unrecog-nized Turkic intellectual roots of Kazakh nationalism. The paper argues that the concept of a territorial nation was not adopted exclusively from European ideas, as assumed in Western-centric scholarship, but also had inner intellectual roots. With the example of the Kazakh national movement, the discourse of nation is exposed as instrumental in developing distinct modern national identities across the Turkic world.
Effect of iodine concentration on growth, iodine uptake and antioxidant activity
of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) biofortified with iodine in nutrient film technique
hydroponic system

Published: October 2024

According to the National Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD), 48.2% of primary school
children aged 8 to 10 years have deficiencies in iodine. In fact, a shortage of iodine is one
of the causes of goitre problems in 2.1% of youngsters. Furthermore, pregnant women and
school pupils have lower than ideal iodine levels. The iodine biofortification of vegetables
provides an excellent opportunity to boost human iodine intake. The study conducted at
the Plant Factory, Horticulture Research Centre, MARDI aimed to investigate the effect of
potassium iodide (KI) on the growth, iodine uptake and antioxidant activity of butterhead
lettuce grown in a nutrient film technique (NFT) hydroponic system. The study used
different doses of KI (0, 1, 5, 7, 13 and 26 mg/L) for the biofortification of lettuce with
iodine. The results of the study showed that the application of 5 mg/L of KI significantly
increased the biomass, leaf area, phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity of butterhead
lettuce. Additionally, application of KI less than 7 mg/L increased iodine content without
toxicity effects on plants. This indicates that the biofortification of lettuce with iodine is
easily applicable in a hydroponic growing system and can significantly improve the
nutritional quality of the crop. One of the major implications of this study is that the
iodine biofortification of vegetables, such as lettuce, can provide an excellent opportunity
to boost human iodine intake. The study found that 1 g of iodine-biofortified lettuce would
provide 60%, 46%, and 30% of the recommended daily allowance of iodine for children,
pregnant women, and adolescents, respectively.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza management policy in domestic poultry: from reacting to preventing
Authors: Vergne Timothée , Paul Mathilde C , Guinat Claire , Delpont Mattias , Hayes Brandon H , Lambert Sébastien , Vaillancourt Jean-Pierre , Guérin Jean-Luc
Published: October 2024

The emergence of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses in 2021 has led to unprecedented epidemics in poultry, changing epidemiological patterns of year-round infections in resident wild avifauna and more frequent spill-over events to mammals. Given this situation, it is important that we recognise that traditional HPAI management strategies are no longer sufficient, and policy changes are required. Poultry vaccination has emerged as a crucial intervention in the current control of HPAI, as evidenced by France's nationwide campaign targeting domestic ducks. However, due to the logistical challenges and potential trade implications of vaccination, broader structural reforms appear also necessary. These include a shift from farm-level to territorial-level biosecurity approaches, putting into practice the concept of ‘regional biosecurity’. Given the role duck farm density has played in successive HPAI epidemics in France, there is a need to think about the spatial distribution of poultry farms as a structural component of regional biosecurity and to consider the reduction of farm concentration as a measure to prevent viral spread. The integration of regional biosecurity and poultry vaccination into prevention strategies should impact the way poultry are produced and traded in the future.

Authors: Zhang Jian , Song Xinwei
Published: October 2024

In recent decades, economic and technical advancements have surged tremendously, accompanied by non-regulatory and unsustainable use of non-renewable assets. The ecological field of toxicology has garnered considerable focus on elucidating the impact of harmful substances on people's wellness. Environmental hazardous chemicals induce many illnesses, posing a heightened danger to youngsters, pregnant women, the elderly, and anyone with preexisting health conditions. Air pollution adversely impacts human health, leading to heightened morbidity and death, necessitating intensified toxicological investigations on industrial air pollution affecting the general populace. It is necessary to develop a computerized Ecological Toxicology-based Air Pollution Management System. Constructive social development is driven by cultural education. It can guarantee a sustainable future, protect national history, and unleash community potential. This study examines Chinese architects' perspectives and understanding of sustainability in village revitalization and conservation. It incorporates traditional Lisu building techniques and materials in Hunan, China. To close research gaps, this study looks at the contributions made by architects to traditional practice integration and environmentally conscious architectural design. This study proposes an IoT-enabled Environmental Toxicology platform for air pollution surveillance, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to mitigate the limits of standard monitoring systems and lower total costs, enhancing human wellness. The research examined the intricate interaction between architects' understanding of sustainability, Lisu building techniques and materials, and sustainable architectural designs in village preservation and revitalization programs using path analysis on data from 326 architects in Hunan Province. Lisu building practices and materials strongly correlate with architects' awareness of and attitudes toward sustainability. According to the research, these characteristics are necessary for sustainable architectural solutions that support village revival and preservation. This study has significant theoretical and practical ramifications for academics, lawmakers, and architects. To evaluate the air quality monitoring efficacy of the suggested approach, a comprehensive series of simulation analyses is conducted, and the results are assessed at durations of 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. The experimental results demonstrate the superior efficacy of the suggested model compared to current methodologies. These findings could lead to the creation of sustainable design solutions that advance rural development. A thorough overview of upcoming studies on sustainable design approaches in Chinese contexts rounds out this talk.

Towards Transparent Control Systems: The Role of Explainable AI in Iterative Learning Control
Authors: Kutlu Mustafa Çağrı , Mansour Mohammed
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a novel approach to improving the performance and interpretability of Iterative Learning Control (ILC) systems through the integration of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques. ILC is a powerful method used across various domains, including robotics, process control, and traffic management, where it iteratively refines control inputs based on past performance to minimize errors in system output. However, traditional ILC methods often operate as "black boxes," making it difficult for users to understand the decision-making process. To address this challenge, we incorporate XAI, specifically SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), into the ILC framework to provide transparent and interpretable insights into the algorithm's behavior. The study begins by detailing the evolution of ILC, highlighting key advancements such as predictive optimal control and adaptive schemes, and then transitions into the methodology for integrating XAI into ILC. The integrated system was evaluated through extensive simulations, focusing on robotic arm trajectory tracking and traffic flow management scenarios. Results indicate that the XAI-enhanced ILC not only achieved rapid convergence and high control accuracy but also maintained robustness in the face of external disturbances. SHAP analyses revealed that parameters such as the proportional gain (Kp) and derivative gain (Kd) were critical in driving system performance, with detailed visualizations providing actionable insights for system refinement. A crucial metric for control precision was the root mean square error (RMSE), which was reduced to as low as 0.02 radians in the robotic arm case, indicating extremely precise tracking of the intended route. Similarly, the ILC algorithm effectively maintained the ideal traffic density within the predetermined bounds in the traffic management scenario, resulting in a 40% reduction in congestion compared to baseline control measures. The resilience of the ILC algorithm was also examined by introducing changes to the system model, external disturbances, and sensor noise. The algorithm demonstrated a high degree of stability and accuracy in the face of these disruptions. For instance, in the robotic arm case, adding noise to the sensor readings had a negligible effect on the algorithm's performance, increasing the RMSE by less than 5%. This integration of XAI into ILC addresses a significant gap in control system design by offering both high performance and transparency, particularly in safety critical applications. The findings suggest that future research could further enhance this approach by exploring additional XAI techniques and applying the integrated system to more complex, real-world scenarios.

Authors: Karaş Zeynep
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the potential consequences of AI-driven misinformation/disinformation on the economy, which the World Economic Forum has identified as the most significant threat to global stability in the near term. To determine the effects of false and/or fake information on the economy, qualitative research method which involves collecting and analyzing information that is rich in detail, context, and meaning was preferred within the framework of this study, and the following inferences and conclusions were drawn regarding the potential implications and consequences of AI-generated mis/disinformation. Mis/disinformation can severely damage consumer trust, leading to reduced revenue and tarnished reputations for businesses. Fake news and reviews can harm consumers by influencing their decisions and can damage brands, resulting in crisis management efforts and decreased consumer loyalty. In financial markets, dis/misinformation can create divergent opinions among investors, leading to market volatility. Within supply chains, the spread of false information can disrupt operations and have significant economic consequences. AI-driven disinformation can pose additional risks, potentially affecting political stability and economic policies. As AI technology advances, countries are implementing stricter regulations, such as the EU AI Act, which may increase compliance costs, particularly for smaller businesses. This study can be considered important as it aims to contribute to a growing awareness of the complex and multifaceted nature of the impact of AI on the economy by investigating the potential negative effects of AI.
Effects of Core and Surface Materials on the Flexural Behavior of Lightweight Composites Sandwich Beams
Authors: Özcan Zeki
Published: October 2024

Sandwich composite elements are used in many sectors thanks to their low weight/strength ratios, high bending strength, good thermal insulation properties, and low costs. It is widely used in the machinery and construction industry, especially in land, sea, and air vehicles. The main objective of this research is to design and produce lightweight, durable, insulated, and low-cost, sustainable building elements that will meet emergency shelter needs after disasters. For housing purposes, 24 sandwich beams were prepared, eight designs with different surface coatings and core materials, and three in each design group. The effects of surface coating and core material on behavior were investigated with four-point bending experiments. Load-displacement relationships were determined from the experiments, and the beams' load-carrying capacities and failure patterns under the effects of bending and shearing were determined. In addition, theoretical methods determined maximum load values and compared them with the results of the experiments. As a result of the experiments, it was concluded that the best-performing design under bending effects was sandwich beams with plywood surface and XPS core.

Published: October 2024

[Purpose] Based on evidence of abnormal audit fees and audit opinions, this study empirically examines the effect of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating divergence on auditor decision－making and the mechanism of its role in Chinese listed companies.
[Methodology] This study employed a sample of Chinese A－share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2016 to 2022, we empirically examined the impact and mechanism of ESG rating divergence on auditor decision－making using the Ordinary Least Squares and Probit models.
[Findings] The study found that the greater the ESG rating divergence, the more inclined auditors are to charge abnormally high audit fees and issue non－standard audit opinions; While mechanism tests reveal that ESG rating divergence lead auditors to charge abnormally high audit fees and issue non－standard audit opinions by increasing firms’ business risk and reducing firms’ information transparency. Furthermore, the results reveal that the impact of ESG rating divergence on auditor decisions is more significant for firms with lower reputations and less analyst attention.
[Implications] The findings of this study should not only help standardize ESG rating standards and reduce ESG rating divergence but also expand the research boundaries of factors influencing audit decisions. It is instructive to understand how ESG rating divergence affects audit risk and auditor decision－making.

Authors: Busnetty Ida , Faisal Yusuf
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study aims to test and analyze the influence of Maqashid Shariah, Altruism, Income, Education with Religiosity as a moderating variableDesign/methodology: The method used in this study is a quantitative method. The population in this study is individuals who pay zakat through Baznas. Accidental sampling technique. The sample in this study amounted to 423 respondents. The data collection method uses a survey method, namely the author distributes the questionnaire directly to the respondents. The data analysis technique in this study uses SEM PLS.  Findings: The results of this study found that there was a positive and significant influence of maqashid shariah on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat. Likewise, there is a positive and significant influence of altruism on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat. For income, there is a positive influence of income on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat, and there is a positive and significant influence of education on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat. As for moderating, namely religiosity, it strengthens the influence of maqashid shariah on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat. Religiosity weakens the influence of altruism on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat. Religiosity weakens the influence of income on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat. And religiosity strengthens the influence of education on the decision of muzakki to issue zakat Practical implications: The implications of this policy are expected to overcome the realization of zakat which is not directly proportional to the targeted zakat potential. The implementation and management of zakat in Indonesia has been stipulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2011, the government is also expected to develop social welfare programs such as the distribution of zakat funds for education, health and social assistance empowerment programs for people in need so that the muzaki will see the positive impact of the zakat issued which is expected to increase the decision of the muzaki to pay zakatOrisinalitas: This research enriches previous research regarding muzakki's decision to issue zakat such as altruism, income, education with the addition of religion. This research connects variables that people rarely examine, namely the existence of sharia maqashid which is viewed from the 5 dimensions of Hifdz Al Aql (protecting reason) with 4 indicators, Hifz An Nasl (protecting offspring) with 4 indicators, Hifz Al Mal (protecting wealth) with 7 indicators , Hift Ad Din (guarding religion) with 4 indicators, and Hift Nafs (guarding the soul) with 5 indicators.

Existen en el mercado cultivares de flores de perrito, que pertenecen a una serie y a un grupo determinado, según el rango de temperatura nocturna que toleran; sin embargo, aun dentro de la misma serie los cultivares pueden tener respuesta diferente ante un ambiente y manejo definido. El objetivo de la investigación fue comparar diferentes potenciales osmóticos de la solución nutritiva sobre el crecimiento y calidad de perrito (Antirrhinum majus L.), cultivares Red y Rose, durante el ciclo otoño-invierno en Nayarit. Los tratamientos se obtuvieron por el arreglo factorial 5 x 2, los factores fueron el potencial osmótico (-0.036, -0.054, -0.072,-0.09, -0.108 MPa) y el cultivar (Red y Rose). Estos se establecieron en septiembre de 2018 en Xalisco, Nayarit. El diseño del experimento fue completamente al azar con 15 repeticiones. Las variables evaluadas fueron longitud y diámetro de tallo, biomasa fresca total, biomasa seca de hojas y tallo, lecturas SPAD, biomasa seca de raíz, volumen de raíz, longitud de espiga, biomasa seca de espiga, número de botones y flores, días a floración y días a cosecha. Los potenciales osmóticos -0.036 y -0.054 MPa obtuvieron los valores más altos en las diferentes variables de crecimiento, estos fueron los más adecuados para un mayor crecimiento y producción de flor de corte de perrito. También, se observó que en las variables de crecimiento sobresalió el cultivar Rose y se clasificó con la categoría especial, pero Red se cosechó más temprano y se clasificó con la categoría sofisticada, esto en las condiciones del experimento.

In Indonesia, sex education is delivered in public high schools as part of the biology curriculum and under the topic of reproductive health. According to the government’s view, when schools teach students properly about reproductive health, they will have a good understanding of their sexuality. Therefore,  there is no need to have any further sexual education outside of the school curriculum. However, about half of the teenagers living in major cities are involved in premarital sex, and the rate of teen abortion and HIV infections is high. This article examined the implementation of sexual education in public high schools in Indonesia using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research. The survey was done on a sample of 416 students from 30 provinces and 66 cities in Indonesia. The finding support a particular approach to sex education that incorporates cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning aspects of educational taxonomy. We find that it is essential to develop a separate sex education module in addition to the current reproductive health topic taught in biology to encourage students to practice abstinence, rather than just teaching reproductive health.

Oil palm (elaies) is a tropical plant that is widely found in Indonesia. The increasing production of this plant has an impact on the increasing amount of oil palm frond waste every year. During this time, the community only utilizes the fruit for the manufacture of CPO while the fronds are discarded and become waste. Palm frond waste contains constituent components in the form of cellulose and lignin so that it has the potential to be utilized as an adsorbent. The manufacture of activated carbon is carried out with the stages of carbonization and activation using H3PO4. The finished activated carbon was then tested for moisture content, ash content, and iodine absorption according to SNI 06-3730-1995, functional group analysis testing with Fourier Transform Infra Red FTIR and Fe metal ion absorption test in well water using an AAS spectrophotometer. From these tests, 7% moisture content, 4% ash content and 909.45 mg/gr iodine absorption were obtained. FT-IR testing obtained 11 fungal groups and Fe metal absorption using an AAS spectrophotometer obtained 77%, so it can be concluded that the activated carbon made is in accordance with SNI 06-3730-1995 specifications
