This study aims to introduce Prof. Nihal Çalışkan’s study entitled A Vocabulary Proposal Aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages towards Turkish A1 and A2 Levels. The teaching of Turkish that has made a rapid improvement in recent years draws a great deal of attention as a foreign/ second language. Nonetheless, the lack of word/ vocabulary lists stands out in this field. This study that is based on corpus linguistics, Çalışkan’s field of study, and her own language learning experiences has been built on the idea that vocabulary is important in the acquisition of language skills, yet that a certain part of it should be taught as a priority in the face of the broad volume of the elements of vocabulary. In this study, which was meticulously carried out in line with the principle of transparency by examining current textbooks, the word was considered as an orthographic unit. This study was conducted in three phases and reached 1152 words at A1 level and 1653 words at A2 level. In the list prepared, the vocabulary elements were basically divided into two groups as “words” and “units that exceed the limits of word”. The units that exceed the limits of word was further subdivided into four categories: “morpheme units”, “lexical units”, “syntactic units” and “discourse units”. The words determined based on prevalence criteria was aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). All units are exemplified by sentences generated by the author herself.

The subject of this research is the methods, means and systems for detecting potentially dangerous military objects in open terrain. The purpose of the study is to develop a system for the detection and identification of potentially explosive military objects using an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone), which includes a system for detecting an explosive object using a metal detector with the technology of adjusting the flight height and the detection method using a thermal imager. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were solved: a review and analysis of modern methods and systems for the detection and identification of potentially explosive military objects was carried out, the classification of identifiable explosive objects was determined, system components were selected, a structural diagram and an algorithm of the software control tool were developed system of identification of potentially explosive objects in an open area, a software tool for detection and identification of potentially explosive objects in an open area was created. The following methods are used in the work: the mathematical method of constructing cartographic grids, the method of recording infrared radiation, the method of eddy currents, methods and means of data collection and processing. The following results were obtained: the components of the system were selected, the structure, diagram and algorithm of the software tool for the identification of potentially explosive objects in the open area were developed, and the corresponding software was created. Conclusions: the application of the proposed system makes it possible to increase the accuracy of finding or the absence of a potentially explosive object in a certain area due to the use of two methods of detecting potentially explosive objects at once, and provides the opportunity to identify a sufficiently wide range of objects. The developed system is safe, as it is controlled by an operator who is at a safe distance, allows you to get special maps with terrain markings with information about the possible presence of potentially explosive objects in certain areas of the terrain and, in general, maps of metal detector and thermal imager signals.
To the Question of Chronology of the Organization of the Ukrainian Intelligentsia of Sevastopol "Kobzar" at the Beginning of the 20th Century
Authors: Bozhuk Anton
Published: July 2022

The study is devoted to the question of time, period and forms of existence and changes in the leadership of the organization of the Ukrainian intellectuals “Kobzar”, founded in the early twentieth century in Sevastopol and associated with the name of engineer Levko Matsiievych, who was one of the most prominent Ukrainian activists of national movement in the city in said period of time. According to available data, the secret organization “Kobzar”, nameless at the time, was founded in 1901 on the basis of an amateur workers' theater in the People's House of Sevastopol, which operated as a group of Ukrainian dramatic art lovers under the direction of Levko Matsiievych and Oleksandr Kovalenko. Members of the organization established branches among the employees of the seaport and garrison of Sevastopol, later joining the Ukrainianization of local military units. The organization could be involved in the united autonomous community of Sevastopol, which was part of the General Non-Party Ukrainian Organization. According to available data, in 1905/1906 the organization “Kobzar” either began legal activities under the leadership of Levko Matsiievych or started any at all but data from Matsiievych's biography in 1906–1908 does not allow us to claim that he led the organization “Kobzar” or engaged in public activities in Sevastopol at all. From 1905 to 1907, the organization “Kobzar” was the center of the Ukrainian national and public movement, which united servicemen of the Black Sea Fleet and civilians of Sevastopol. In March–April 1917, virtually all members of the organization “Kobzar” joined the Main Council of the Ukrainian Black Sea Community. Subsequently, existing in various forms under German, Bolshevik, Denikin and Wrangel rule in Crimea, the Ukrainian national formation of Sevastopol ceased to exist in the late 1920s with the establishment of Soviet power on the peninsula.

Authors: Aljelawy Ali , Aldabbagh Aamer , Hatem Falah
Published: August 2022

The printed circuit heat exchanger is a plate type heat exchanger with a high performance and compact size. Heat exchangers such as this need a unique form of bonding and other techniques to be used in their construction. In this study, the process of joining plates, diffusion bonding, was performed and studied. A special furnace was manufactured for bonding purposes. The bonding process of copper metal was carried out under specific conditions of a high temperature up to 700 oC, high pressure of 3.45 MPa, and in an inert environment (Argon gas) to make tensile samples. The tensile samples are cylindrical shapes containing groves representing the flow channels in the printed circuit heat exchanger and checking their tensile strength in addition to the standard shape of the tensile specimen to check the yield and ultimate strength of the copper. A higher tensile strength was obtained for diffusion bonded specimens than the yield strength of copper, up to 1.35 times the copper yield strength. The tensile strength decreases with the increase in the number of groves and the decrease in the distance between one grove and another. This is because the stress is concentrated in the sharp corners. A prototype heat exchanger of two plates and a header to be tested for its compressive strength was also manufactured. The results showed that the bond bears an air pressure of up to 8 bar without fail. It was also found to withstand a hydraulic pressure of up to 60 bar until it reached failure.

Published: August 2022

With the development of building construction engineering and the way to obtain energy from natural sources, the sun has become an important source to avail from thermal energy. In this research, the study of the long-term thermal performance of a passive solar heating system containing an absorber and storage wall was done by using the general design utilizability Method The equations of the mathematical model for this system were solved using the MATLAB environment program. In order to calculate the values of the solar refractive index (f) for this system for the four months of the winter season (November to February). The climatic conditions during these months are the daily values based on the monthly average in the city of Kut (Iraq). Since the best type of wall is the concrete wall, changes are made to this type of wall. A number of variables that affect the performance of the wall have been changed, including in it = wall area, wall thickness. The results showed that increasing the wall area and decreasing the thickness leads to an increase in the value of the solar refractive index, and the maximum values of the solar refractive factor were found during  November, and the concrete material is the best performing material among brick and stone material, according to previous studies.

Formation and reorganization timescales of aeolian landscapes
Authors: Gunn Andrew
Published: July 2022

Landscapes created through sediment transport are shaped by the interaction of flow and form. In landscapes where wind is the agent of geomorphic work, this is clear at the small-scale; equilibrium dune morphology is linked to the wind climate and the supply of sediment. At larger scales, this linkage becomes ambiguous because the form of giant dunes and dune fields integrate long histories of varied wind and sand supply. Without a framework to assess aeolian landscape evolution at this scale, the time taken to form and reorganize dune fields has been largely unexplored quantitatively. We show that these timescales can be understood by linking modern wind and topographic datasets for one of the most expansive and morphologically diverse unvegetated dune fields, the Rub’ al Khali. By linking sediment flux to the surface area and slope of dunes, and growth to the divergence in that flux, we fully couple form and flow at the dune field-scale. Our results show quantitatively how dune field formation and reorganization are outpaced by climate change and the implications for stratigraphic interpretation.
Why and When Do You Look Away When Trying to Remember? Gaze Aversion as a Marker of the Attentional Switch to the Internal World
Authors: Servais Anaïs , Préa Noémie , Christophe Hurter , Barbeau Emmanuel
Published: July 2022

Autobiographical memory retrieval is initiated by an attentional switch from the outside world to a temporary internal mental space. Gaze aversion is assumed to play a role during this phase, but has received very limited attention thus far. We designed a protocol where 33 participants answered 48 autobiographical questions while their eye movements were recorded with an eye-tracker and camcorder. Results indicated that gaze aversion prevailed over other eye behaviors such as changes of vergence. It occurred early, predominantly during the access phase of memory retrieval. Gaze aversion was observed in different directions depending on the subjects and was related to cognitive effort. It was decoupled from head movement. These results support the hypothesis that gaze aversion is related to the attentional switch from the outside world to memory.
Concept Mapping Assessments as a Tool for Judgment of Learning
Authors: Cischke Christopher , Mueller Shane T.
Published: July 2022

Research has shown that university students are often miscalibrated in their judgments of learning (JOL) and are likely to use unreliable cues like recognition heuristics or retrieval fluency to assess their knowledge. These cues can be misleading so that students believe they understand the material when they do not, and consequently may not invest sufficient time in study and practice. This suggests that better early assessment measures that promote accurate JOLs may encourage better study practices. Concept mapping activities may provide this benefit because they require a constructive activity that helps a student better identify whether or not they have mastered a body of knowledge. To evaluate this, we examined the effectiveness of a concept map-based assessment prior to an exam in a computer networks engineering class. Students completed the assessment and were surveyed during the exam as to the helpfulness and enjoyability of completing such an assessment. Although a direct benefit of concept mapping was not found, results suggested that students who scored lower on the exam found the assessments to be useful and an enjoyable way to prepare for the exam. This suggests a potential benefit for concept mapping for students who may be struggling with mastering information.
Can you believe your eyes? Positive schizotypy is associated with increased susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer illusion
Authors: Lányi Orsolya , Keri Szabolcs , Pálffy Zsófia , Polner Bertalan
Published: July 2022

Background and Hypothesis: Visual illusions provide a unique opportunity to understand cognitive and perceptual alterations in schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. Schizophrenia patients often exhibit increased susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer illusion. Here, we aimed to investigate susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer visual illusion in the general population with different levels of schizotypy. Study Design: We assessed 312 participants from the general community on an online platform. In addition to basic demographics, participants completed the Müller-Lyer illusion, the Cardiff Anomalous Perceptions Scale (CAPS) to measure perceptual anomalies, and the Multidimensional Schizotypy Scale – Brief (MSS-B) for schizotypal traits. To evaluate what predicts susceptibility to the illusion, we fitted a large set of multilevel logistic regression models and performed model-averaging over the coefficients.Study Results: We found support for increased illusion susceptibility among individuals with high positive schizotypy. However, we did not find a significant effect for anomalous perceptions alone, or for negative or disorganized schizotypy. Conclusions: The increased Müller-Lyer effect in positive schizotypy could be related to imbalances between bottom-up perceptual processing and substantial reliance on prior expectations. This association might be specific to delusion-like beliefs and magical ideation. Further research is needed to clarify the Müller-Lyer effect in schizophrenia-spectrum conditions from a Bayesian point of view.
Speech segmentation and cross-situational word learning in parallel
Authors: Dal Ben Rodrigo , Prequero Isabella Toselli , de Hollanda Souza Débora , Hay Jessica
Published: August 2022

Language learners track conditional probabilities to find words in continuous speech and to map words and objects across ambiguous contexts. It remains unclear, however, whether learners can leverage the structure of the linguistic input to do both tasks at the same time and how that would impact learning. To explore these questions, we combined speech segmentation and cross-situational word learning into a single task. Participants had to track speech statistics (transitional and phonotactic probabilities) to segment words and, at the same time, track co-occurrences between these newly segmented words and objects across presentations to overcome ambiguity and learn word-object pairings. In Experiment 1, when adults (N = 60) simultaneously segmented continuous speech and mapped the newly segmented words to objects, they demonstrated better performance than when either task was performed alone. However, when the speech stream had conflicting information between transitional and phonotactic statistics, participants were still able to correctly map words to objects, but surprisingly, were at chance level on speech segmentation. In Experiment 2, we used a more sensitive speech segmentation measure to find that adults (N = 35), exposed to the same conflicting speech stream, correctly identified non-words as such, but were still unable to consistently discriminate between words and part-words. Again, mapping was above chance. Our study suggests that learners can track multiple sources of statistical information to find and map words to objects in complex environments. It also prompts critical questions on how to effectively measure the knowledge that may arise from these learning experiences.

A time interval metric for cumulative opportunity accessibility
Authors: Tomasiello Diego Bogado , Herszenhut Daniel , Oliveira João Lucas Albuquerque , Braga Carlos Kaue Vieira , Pereira Rafael H. M.
Published: July 2022

Cumulative accessibility measures are the most-used accessibility metric and indicate the number of opportunities reached within a given travel time threshold. However, these measures require an ad-hoc choice of a single travel time threshold, which can influence the conclusions of transport project evaluations and equity analyses. In this paper, we introduce the time interval cumulative accessibility measure, a new metric that mitigates the impacts of arbitrary choices of trip duration on cumulative accessibility analyses while preserving computation and communicability advantages. The proposed indicator estimates the average (or median) number of opportunities that can be reached considering multiple minute-by-minute cutoffs within a given travel time interval. We demonstrate the new metric in a case study assessing how a planned subway expansion could impact employment accessibility in Fortaleza, Brazil. Using sensitivity analyses with Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the proposed metric makes the results of accessibility estimates and equity analyses significantly less sensitive to ad-hoc methodological choices while yielding results that are very similar to those obtained with traditional threshold-based measures. Future accessibility-oriented research and planning could benefit from the way in which the proposed time interval cumulative opportunity measure provides more robust accessibility estimates without compromising the communicability of results.

Published: August 2022

In the scientific article it is determined that sport orienteering is one of the military-applied sports developed by the international Council of Military Sports. It was found out that in the Armed Forces of Ukraine this sport has not been developed sufficiently until 2015. The purpose of the work was to study the process of selecting military personnel for the sports orientation section in military institutions of higher education. In order to form national teams, a pedagogical experiment was conducted during which the process of cadets’ selection for classes in the sports orientation was considered for three years (2018 -2021). It was found that cadets want to participate in orienteering sections but most of them do not know how to combine cross-country running and working with maps at the same time (70.7% of cadets). The process of leaving orienteering section by athletes occurs on the first day of training and has the highest percentage of dropouts in the first two months of classes (78.1% of cadets). It has been proved that at least 5 years of training is necessary to prepare a competitive orienteering national team.

An overview of compressive sensing for IRS assisted secure terahertz communication
Authors: Sangeetha Gopinath
Published: July 2022

Considerable development of different communication services requires a higher data rate and secure transmission for mobile users. Sometimes it is very difficult to deliver full information without information leakage to the user, there may be some huge obstacles to block the direct connection between transmitter and receiver. Moreover, there may be an eavesdropper is present near to the mobile user who can determine critical information while sending. At the receiver side, accurate channel estimation is necessary to obtain the information perfectly. Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) are an arising innovation that empowers tunable abnormal dissipating of incident electromagnetic waves. This grants dynamic control of the propagation environment and presents an extra enhancement measurement to wireless communication networks. In this paper an Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted Terahertz (THz) communication is considered. IRS act as a mediator between transmitter and receiver. For high carrier frequency applications, a terahertz frequency band is used, which promises extensive bandwidth (0.1-10 THz). Compared to other techniques THz permits higher link directionality and offers lower eavesdropping chances. The IRS is a rising strategy for extending signal coverage and can defeat high path loss of THz systems. Here Compressive sensing (CS) technique is using to obtain the channel estimation.

This research is motivated by the problem of Mathematics in Elementary Schools or Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). In practice, learning begins with an explanation of concepts accompanied by examples, followed by practical questions. This learning approach tends to only practice basic mathematical skills in a limited and isolated manner and the questions presented are not relevant in student’s daily lives, so learning is less meaningful. It was discovered in MIN 1 Sleman that grade II students had difficulty understanding subtraction material and roman numerals from the basic concepts of mathematics. Therefore, from the problems in the field the researchers are trying to develop numeracy flearning media that applies abstracts in learning. development of mathematics learning tools for grade II calculation funnels to form the basic concepts of mathematical abstraction thinking is done using 7 steps or a Research and Development method by Borg & Gall. The quality of learning device products developed through a series of validity tests by validator experts, teachers, and peers continued with limited trials including tests of learning performance, student responses, and trialling the learning outcomes of excellent category scores, so that the learning tools developed were feasible to use.

Skin aging is a problem for women caused by external factors, namely exposure to free radicals such as sunlight, antiaging cosmetic products containing antioxidants have been widely circulated to maintain skin health from the effects of free radicals. The content of antioxidant chemical compounds in the purslane plant (Portulaca oleracea L.) is believed to be able to prevent free radicals. Purslane plant extract serum preparations were made by formulating preparations with ingredients such as HPMC, chitosan, tween 80. Furthermore, antioxidant testing of extracts and preparations of serum spray formulas was carried out using the DPPH method, after which evaluation of the preparations included homogeneity, pH, adhesion, viscosity, and hedonic. The preparation of purslane plant extract serum in the spray gel preparation produces a brownish green color, has a slightly sour smell and has a soft texture. The resulting viscosity in the serum ranged from 1330 - 1362 cPs with a pH value in the range of 5.67 - 5.72. From the hedonic test carried out, the results obtained were that the color and aroma were less favored by the panelists while for the convenience of using spray gel the panelists liked the texture of all purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) plant extract formulas. Based on this research, the IC50 value of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) plant extract was 132.87 ppm, while the formula had an IC50 value of 83.91 ppm. Therefore, antiaging serum in spray gel formulation has stronger antioxidant activity than purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) plant extract.

Etlingera is one of the plant genera from the Zingiberaceae family and is widely distributed in Asia to the Pacific Islands, with various species ranging from 150 to 200 species. The Etlingera are commonly used as spices, vegetables, and traditional medicines. Many pharmacological activities have been reported from this genus, including antioxidants, antibacterials, cholesterol-lowering, anticancer, and others. The phytochemical content of Etlingera reported are phenolics, diarylheptanoids, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, and terpenoids.  Eight species from Etlingera, namely Etlingera elatior, E. pavieana, E. brevilabrum, E. pyramidosphaera, E. megalocheilos, E. coccinea, E. fimbriobracteata, and E. corneri are reported provided anticancer activity. This review article aims to review the phytochemical screening from Etlingera genus, and its anticancer activity.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to describe the genesis of the AO Spine Sacral and Pelvic Classification System in the context of historical sacral and pelvic grading systems.

METHODS

A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases was performed consistent with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to identify all existing sacral and pelvic fracture classification systems.

RESULTS

A total of 49 articles were included in this review, comprising 23 pelvic classification systems and 17 sacral grading schemes. The AO Spine Sacral and Pelvic Classification System represents both the evolutionary product of these historical systems and a reinvention of classic concepts in 5 ways. First, the classification introduces fracture types in a graduated order of biomechanical stability while also taking into consideration the neurological status of patients. Second, the traditional belief that Denis central zone III fractures have the highest rate of neurological deficit is not supported because this subgroup often includes a broad spectrum of injuries ranging from a benign sagittally oriented undisplaced fracture to an unstable “U-type” fracture. Third, the 1990 Isler lumbosacral system is adopted in its original format to divide injuries based on their likelihood of affecting posterior pelvic or spinopelvic stability. Fourth, new discrete fracture subtypes are introduced and the importance of bilateral injuries is acknowledged. Last, this is the first integrated sacral and pelvic classification to date.

CONCLUSIONS

The AO Spine Sacral and Pelvic Classification is a universally applicable system that redefines and reorders historical fracture morphologies into a rational hierarchy. This is the first classification to simultaneously address the biomechanical stability of the posterior pelvic complex and spinopelvic stability, while also taking into consideration neurological status. Further high-quality controlled trials are required prior to the inclusion of this novel classification within a validated scoring system to guide the management of sacral and pelvic injuries.
Mucinous Cystadenoma of Ovary with Vague Symptoms: A Case Report
Authors: Khadayat Paras , Kayastha Bhagirathi , Koirala Prashant
Published: August 2022

Ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in the ovary, common among reproductive women. Mucinous cystadenoma is a common variety of non-functional benign lesions that presents vague symptoms and can mislead the diagnosis. A 26-year-old female presented to the clinic with weakness and lethargy, which lasted for 3 months, along with other symptoms like headache, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and constipation. She was managed with iron deficiency anaemia, however, her symptoms did not improve. Later, an ultrasound revealed an ovarian cyst. Laparoscopic left-sided ovarian cystectomy was performed and a biopsy was sent for histopathological examination. The case highlights the various nonspecific symptoms in a case of an ovarian cyst. Gynaecological causes for systemic symptoms should always be considered, along with proper gynaecological history and examination. This helps with the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment options, with minimal costs.
The Legal Framework for Carbon Tax: A Case of Cameroon
Authors: Ngwome Gideon Fosoh
Published: July 2022

This article builds a case in favour of using carbon tax as a cost-effective tool for regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as part of the climate change mitigation solution in terms of discouraging further GHG emission. Drawing on existing primary and secondary data, the article makes an assessment of the Cameroon’s legal environment for the design and implementation of carbon tax and articulates on the prospects and challenges of designing and implementing it. The article postulates that in spite of the promising opportunities that carbon tax offers for regulating GHG emissions, the potentials of this climate-smart fiscal policy tool has not yet been explored within the framework of climate governance in Cameroon. The article finds that while the spirit of carbon tax is underpinned by relevant environmental law principles, there is a timid legal framework both at the international and national levels for using carbon to regulate GHG emissions in Cameroon. The article concludes with a recommendation of the strong need for Cameroon to introduce a carbon-tax system as one of the cost-effective measures to reduce the country’s GHG emissions by adopting a carbon tax legal instrument designed specifically to target major GHG emitters across dozens of economic sectors. The model of carbon tax proposed for Cameroon could be useful and replicable elsewhere.
The APE lecture: Life in a liminal space; Or, the journey shapes the destination
Authors: Crotty David
Published: July 2022

This paper is based on a presentation at the APE 2022 Conference and two blog posts published first on The Scholarly Kitchen. It explains how the scholarly community is currently in a liminal space; a place of transition to the end goal of open access (OA), open science, and open research. It argues that the publishing landscape is marked by two waves of consolidation: in the journal’s publisher space, and in the scholarly communication infrastructure. With respect to the first wave, Uncertainty, Transformative Agreements, and the required Technology and Reporting Burdens of Plan S led to an increased emphasis on publishing in quantity, smaller society publishers being dissolved, and bigger publishers shifting towards being workflow providers. The second wave of consolidation is happening around the technology and infrastructure of scholarly communication. This has seen a further shift for many companies away from being a publisher and toward being a workflow provider. The short-term outlook is that we are going to be in this liminal space for a while. Longer term we see two concurrent trends: a drive for low-cost, high-volume bulk publishing, and a shift for publishers to become paid service providers for most everything else. This is the path we are on. The question for the community is whether this is an acceptable long-term outcome to our end goal, or are there other routes we should be taking to drive a differently shaped future?
