Creative productivity of ukrainian artists in the conditions of war
Authors: Martsynkevych Yu. , Pavlenko H.
Published: October 2023

The article describes the results of creative productivity research in Ukrainian artists in the conditions of war as a traumatic event. The correlation between war and creative productivity has not been extensively studied in the context of psychology. The most famous so far is the research of Karol Borowiecki and John Hagan, who investigated the individual life cycle of composers and changes in their creative productivity in connection with wars. After the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian researchers Lazarenko and Bobrova studied the emotional state of Ukrainians, a result which the data obtained indicated the presence of anxiety, fear, fatigue, and exhaustion, which led to a decrease in productive activity in people. The value and relevance of the research are related to the fact that today there are practically no studies devoted to the study of the relationship between creativity and emotional state in war conditions, but this knowledge will bring us closer to the creativity mechanism understanding. The research involved 37 artists who were on the territory of Ukraine all the time during the year: from the beginning of the full-scale invasion — 02/24/2022 to 02/24/2023. To evaluate and compare creative productivity, data was taken on the number of artistic works for the period of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. According to the results of the survey, 70.27% of respondents demonstrated an increase in creative productivity, which is associated with a bad mood, that is, a negative emotional state. A moderate correlation between the evaluation of the emotional state and creative productivity was revealed, and it was found that in the conditions of war, the features of the emotional state and energy are a certain criterion for the growth of creative productivity. From a neurobiological point of view, the inverse correlation between mental activation and creative productivity is explained.
Pulmonary Valve Atresia in the Kingdom of Bahrain: Early Outcomes and Genetic Associations
Authors:   Medical Student, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan, A. Majeed Buhusayen Feras
Published: October 2023

Background: Pulmonary atresia is a congenital heart defect that results from failure in the formation of the pulmonary valve that leads to right ventricular outflow obstruction, preventing the right heart ejection of blood to the lungs. It is also associated with a high incidence of chromosomal anomalies. Methods: A retrospective styesyesudy of all infants diagnosed with pulmonary in Bahrain was undertaken. Pulmonary atresia was classified into pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, pulmonary atresia in Tetralogy of Fallot, and pulmonary atresia in complex cyanotic heart defects. Short-term outcomes, survival, and associated genetics were analyzed. Results: 84 patients were diagnosed. 57 (67.9%) were males and 27 (32.1%) were females (p = 0.204). The median age at diagnosis was 25 days. Patients diagnosed with pulmonary atresia and complex cyanotic heart defects had the highest early survival rate. The early survival rate of patients diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum was lowest (p = 0.0179). Twenty-two patients (26.19%) had chromosomal anomalies. The DiGeorge syndrome was found in 18 patients, and 2 with Down Syndrome and other dysmorphisms in 2. 19 (86.36%) with chromosomal anomalies had pulmonary atresia and Tetralogy of Fallot, and 3(13.64%) with pulmonary atresia and complex cyanotic heart defects (p = 0.027). Conclusions: Pulmonary atresia is a rare but serious congenital heart defect. The lowest short-term survival is in those with intact intraventricular septum. There is a high incidence of chromosomal deletion of 22q11 leading to DiGeorge syndrome in those with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia. Early catheterization and surgical techniques are effective palliation for short-term survival.
Alagille Syndrome: Challenging Diagnosis and Prognostic Factors, A Case Report
Authors:   Pediatric Senior House Officer, Pediatric Department, Sameer1 Marwa ,   King Hamad University Hospital. Muharraq, Kingdom of Bahrain
Published: October 2023

Alagille syndrome (AS) commonly presents with cholestasis, much like other liver diseases, making the diagnosis challenging. We report a case of a patient with AS mimicking biliary atresia (BA) with a poor outcome. The infant, a product of a non-consanguineous marriage, presented with jaundice, clay stools, peripheral pulmonary stenosis, atrial septal defect, and butterfly vertebrae. Cholescintigraphy showed an absence of radiotracer excretion. Surgical exploration revealed the presence of a hypoplastic hepatic duct but a normal gallbladder, cystic, and common bile ducts. Intraoperative cholangiogram favored BA, and a Kasai procedure was performed. The liver biopsy demonstrated focal areas of ductular proliferation and periportal ballooning degeneration without bile duct paucity. The patient exhibited worsening cardiac and liver conditions, growth failure, and developmental delay. She died suddenly at home at the age of 34 months. The cholangiographic and histological abnormalities found in our patient were suggestive of BA. At the same time, she displayed four out of five diagnostic criteria for AS. Based on our experience with this case, we suggest expeditious genetic testing should be considered for any case of neonatal cholestasis with diagnostic uncertainty. This may help avoid unwarranted surgical interventions, potentially associated with worse outcomes.

Published: October 2023

The subsystem should provide the following functionalities: planning of trajectories of movement of an intelligent robot in an a priori uncertain dynamic environment of operation: representation of opposing objects of the environment and functional and executive nodes of a mobile robot using a fuzzy configuration space; formation of a movement trajectory with a fixed level of confidence; updating the environment map when exploring new areas of the operating environment; real-time operation of the scheduler; modularity and scalability of the subsystem. To successfully navigate in space, the robot control system must be able to build a route, control movement parameters, correctly interpret information about the world around it received from sensors, and constantly track its own coordinates. The paper investigates the development of control subsystems for an intelligent robot. To achieve this goal, the initial data were analyzed, the general principle of building a simulation model of the robot was described, and a structural diagram of the control system of an intelligent robot was developed.

Who Was Patriarch Joasaphus (1634–40) in His Worldly Life?
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russian Federation, Usachev Andrej S.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the patriarch Joasaphus I’s (1634–40) origin and status in worldly life. Earlier he was the abbot of the Pskov-Caves Monastery (1621–27) and the Pskov archbishop (1627–34). Joasaphus became the metropolitan after the death of Philaret (Romanov) (1619–33). The researchers noted that they had a close relationship. The only earlier known historical source informing of Joasaphus’s origin is the Chronograph of the Astrakhan archbishop Pachomius (mid-17th century). It reports that Joasaphus was a descendant of servitors of Boyar scions (deti boyarskie). His parents’ names in religion (Julia and Bogolep) are known to researchers from the Synodic of the Cornelius Komelski monastery. The author of the article has managed to find new data. Synodic of the Yaroslavl Transfiguration of the Savior Monastery notes Joasaphus’s secular name: Ivan Borisov, son of Tonky (the Thin). The author has also established that, prior to taking his monastic vows (1609), Ivan made a donation (a 16th century manuscript) to the Siya Monastery of St. Antonius to commemorate his parents. In 1601–05 Philaret lived in this monastery in exile. Ivan’s father, Boris (Bogolep), might have lived in this monastery with him. The record of donation mentions Ivan’s status: he was a Boyar scion of the Rostov metropolitan Philaret. Considering absence of the names of Ivan and his father in the list of servitors of the Rostov metropolitan’s house (1591/92), the author supposes that Ivan had been connected with Philaret before the latter became the Rostov metropolitan. Probably he was a servitor of the Romanovs (aristocrats like Fedor Nikitich Romanov had a lot of them). Ivan might have taken the monastic vows in the Solovetsky monastery (ca. 1611-12) after his overlord Philaret had been captured by the Poles. After his returning in Moscow thanks to his relationship with Philaret, Joasaphus made a successful church career. Ivan/Joasaphus’s interest in books might have been instrumental in this. His donation to the monastery was not typical for a representative of service class people. As a rule, they donated the Gospel, Psalter, Menaion to churches and monasteries. Ivan possibly inherited his interest in books from his father. The Gift book of the Siya Monastery of St. Antonius informs that monk Bogolep (probably, the father of the future patriarch) gave no less than 6 books to the monastery in late 16th century. The research is based on the colophons, Synodics, Commemoration books of the Russian monasteries.
Mass Church Sources of the Barnaul Spiritual Government of the Second Half of the 18th – Early 19th Century: Specificity of Materials Preservation in the Archives of Siberia
Authors:   Altai State University, Barnaul, Russian Federation, Sarafanov Dmitry E.
Published: October 2023

This article examines issues of mass sources preservation of the Barnaul Spiritual Commissioned Government (BSG) of the second half of the 18th – early 19th century. The object of the study is confession sheets and parish books of 24 BSG parishes, deposited in the archives of Siberia: the State Archive of the Tomsk Region (GATO), the State Archive of the Altai Krai (GAAK), and the State Archive of the Novosibirsk Region (GANO). The BSG within its present borders covers the territory of the Altai Krai, the Republic of Altai, and some districts of the Tomsk, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk regions and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Despite extensive historiography on the institution of the Orthodox Church in Siberia, there are almost no works on the development of parish system of the West Siberian region, on characteristics of demographic processes, and peculiarities of mass sources preservation of the second half of the 18th – early 19th century. It is concluded that during the initial period of the BSG work (1750–54), mass documentation was poorly preserved (there exist occasional registers for individual parishes). The majority of confession sheets were deposited in the GATO after 1755. The level of source preservation can be assessed as high (although uneven in different parishes): in the general approximation, losses of documents amount to 9.3% of the chronological duration. There are more frequent temporary gaps in preservation of documents for parishes that were transferred from one spiritual government to another. Dispersion of the documentary complex over various fonds of the GATO is low. The GATO demonstrates good preservation of confessional sheets, in the GAAK their representation is poor, and they are absent in the GANO. The BSG parish books are dispersed in various archives of Siberia and in various fonds of these archives. The main collection of the BSG sources has been preserved in three fonds of the GATO (56 archival files). The loss of documents in this archive amount to 26.7% of the chronological duration. For some parishes, the proportion of source losses is even greater. The materials of the GANO (43 archival files) and GAAK partially fill in data gaps. However, even in these archives, files differ in their completeness. Thus, in the GAAK, the array of BSG sources has been preserved with small gaps only for 5–8 parishes, mostly after 1802. In all three Siberian archives there are sources for a later period (19th – early 20th century), but these are outside the scope of our research.
Diary of the Kalmyk Lama Dorji Setenov’s Trip to Mongolia
Authors:   Kalmuk State University after B. B. Gorodovikov, Elista, Russian Federation, Bicheev B. A.
Published: October 2023

Socio-economic reforms of the turn of the 20th century had their effect on the ethnic outskirts of the Russian state. In the Kalmyk nomadic societies of the Astrakhan and Stavropol gubernias and in Kalmyk stanitsas of the Province of the Don Cossack Host, there began a revival movement among Buddhist priests, reconnection to the Buddhist world. The article is to study the renewal process in the Kalmyk monk community drawing on travel notes of the said monks made on pilgrimage to Tibet and Mongolia. Discourse problematics come from the need to analyze the revival movement and the process of renewal of the ties to the Buddhist world. Travel notes of Kalmyk pilgrims are regarded as one of the aspects of the issue. Despite great interest of researchers to the history of Kalmyk Buddhism, the renewal movement remains outside the scientific field. Meanwhile, the revival movement and the process of renewing ties to the Buddhist world are extraordinarily important not only for study of the Kalmyk Buddhism history, but also for inclusion of imperial outskirts in all-Russian socio-economic reforms. The article draws on a manuscript titled “Journey through Mongolia of the head of all khuruls of the Bolshederbetovsky ulus bagshi Dorji Setenov,” which is kept in the fonds of the Russian Geographical Society. The diary written in Russian is an example of Kalmyk pilgrim travel notes of the turn of the 20th century. While the travel notes of D. Setenov and manuscripts of other Kalmyk pilgrims are known to researchers, this text has never been published. The artistic content of the notes has been assessed by literary scholars, but they remained unnoticed as a source on renewal movement in the Kalmyk Buddhism. Source analysis of the travel notes demonstrates authenticity their data on social status, religious life, and monastery education in Mongolia. Comprehensive analysis of the text and use of biographical methods permit to research it in relation to life and actions of its author. D. Setenov’s manuscript is a valuable personal provenance source reflecting the nature of renewing ties to the Buddhist world and uniqueness of the renewal movement among Kalmyk priesthood. The manuscript remains relevant and important to researchers studying the history of Buddhism in Russia and Mongolia.
The Struggle for Tsaritsyn during the Civil War in Russia: On Publication of the Collective Monograph
Authors:   Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation, Moscow, Russian Federation, Vorobiev Evgenii P.
Published: October 2023

The review of the monograph “The Civil War in Tsaritsyn: 1918–20” considers Volgograd historians-archivists’ views on the struggle between the Reds and the Whites in the South of Russia, resuming discussion on the role of J. V. Stalin in the organization of Tsaritsyn’s defense and of impact of the battles for the city on the overall development of military and political confrontation of the warring parties. The reviewer confirms the opinion of the authors that decreased significance of Tsaritsyn events of 1918–19 in the national historiography sprang from intention to diminish the merits of J. V. Stalin and his associates. Eventually, stubborn battles for the most important industrial and transport center and efforts to solve the food supply issues in the Soviet Republic turned into ordinary episodes of the history Civil War in Russia. The review emphasizes validity of the conclusions on the causes of successes and failures of the Red Army near Tsaritsyn: mood fluctuations of the Don Cossacks, contradictions between the Ataman of the Don Army P. N. Krasnov and the leaders of the Volunteer army, low discipline and manageability of military units defending the city. The materials of the monograph are consistent with the achievements of modern foreign historiography, which pays increasing attention to the episodes of the Civil War that made J. V. Stalin a politician and the leader of the Soviet state. The review substantiates the importance of the published book for analysis of food policy of the Bolshevik government, of significance of German aid for fighting efficiency of the Don Army, of socio-economic features of the region, which determined the balance of opposed forces. It underscores the relevance and information value of unique photographs and documents, found in the fonds of the central and local archives and published in the monograph. Visual sources provide an opportunity to consider the early stages of formation of historical memory of the events in the South of Russia in 1918–19. The reviewer expresses his opinion on the prospects of further research involving documents from the Russian State Military Archives (RGVA), which permit to identify the specifics of city life over years of martial law. The analysis of issues of wartime everyday life, of survival under during terror, military operations, and constant mobilization of resources can enhance the perception of the Civil War as a tragedy, contributing to national reconciliation in Russia.

“You Gotta Be Able to Pay Your Own Way”
Authors: Mitchell Barbara Ann , Lennox Rebecca
Published: October 2023

Youth transitions to adulthood and traditional markers of “complete” adulthood are becoming more fluid, uncertain, and extended in modern western societies. Despite these shifts, public discourses surrounding young adult home-leaving trajectories have remained largely informed by a linear benchmark perspective. This framework positions establishing financial autonomy with the goal of permanently leaving the parental home as central to “successful” adulthood. In this paper, we integrate textual and interview data to critically interrogate contemporary public discourses of adulting in tandem with Canadian young adults’ subjective understandings of “successful” adulthood. Specifically, we conduct discourse analysis using two complimentary data sources: (1) a selection of Canadian news articles addressing youth transitions to adulthood (n = 44), and (2) interviews assessing Canadian young adults’ perceptions and experiences of adulthood (n = 20). Our findings reveal how media constructions of “successful adulthood” are synonymous with financial independence and responsibility. These social norms reflect and shape young adults’ subjective meanings of “successful” adulthood and inform the ways of being that young people imagine as “ideal”.
The Hidden Work of Challenging Precarity
Authors: Mirchandani Kiran , Hande Mary Jean
Published: October 2023

This article explores the hidden work of workers employed in precarious jobs which are characterized by part-time and temporary contracts, limited control over work schedules, and poor access to regulatory protection. Through 77 semi-structured interviews with workers in low-wage, precarious jobs in Ontario, Canada, we examine workers’ attempts to challenge the precarity they face when confronted by workplace conditions violating the Ontario Employment Standards Act (ESA), such as not being paid minimum wages, not being paid for overtime, being fired wrongfully or being subject to reprisals. We argue that these challenges involve hidden work, which is neither acknowledged nor recognized in the current ESA enforcement regime. We examine three types of hidden work that involve (1) creating a sense of positive self-worth amidst disempowering practices; (2) engaging in advocacy vis-à-vis employers, sometimes through launching official claims with the Ontario Ministry of Labour; and (3) developing strategies to avoid the costs of precarity in the future. We argue that this hidden work of challenging precarity needs to be formally recognized and that concrete strategies for doing so might lead to more robust protection for workers, particularly within ESA enforcement practices.

Optimization of the methodology for valorization of mud retained by dams: Morocco case study
Authors: Said Mohafid  , Laila Stour  , Ali Agoumi
Published: October 2023

Dams are mainly built to store water, but they also accumulate a lot of sediment that consolidates over time. This mud harms the functioning and safety of dams and neighboring communities. In addition to preventive measures to mitigate siltation, dam managers often resort to de-siltation as a corrective approach. However, this method generates significant volumes of mud, causing environmental damage and significant land losses. Faced with the scarcity and increasing costs of raw materials, the use of the mud retained by dams as a resource in various fields is becoming essential. By exploiting the potential of sludge, we can alleviate the pressure on traditional raw materials and promote sustainable practices in all industries. This article proposes a new optimal methodology for the use of mud retained by dams, based on global research. It specifies the laboratory tests to be carried out, the limit values to be respected, and a systematic process to improve the efficiency of the use of mud while respecting standards and best practices. In addition to the presentation of the optimal methodology developed, the article includes a case study to illustrate its practical application. Focusing on the Moroccan context, we show how our approach can be adapted in real situations, providing a useful resource for professionals involved in the extraction of mud from dam reservoirs.
Comparison of K-Means & K-Means++ Clustering Models using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) in Menu Engineering

Published: October 2023

The menu is one of the most fundamental aspects of business continuity in the culinary industry. One of the tools that can be used for menu analysis is menu engineering. Menu engineering is an analytical tool that assists restaurants, companies, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in assessing and making decisions on marketing strategies, menu design, and sales so that it can produce maximum profit. In this study, several menu engineering models were proposed, and the performance of these models was analyzed. This study used a dataset from the Point of Sales (POS) application in an SME engaged in the culinary field. This research consists of three stages. First, pre-processing the data, comparing the models, and evaluating the models using the Davies Bouldin index. At the model comparison stage, four models are being compared: K-Means, K-Means++, K-Means using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), and K-Means++ using SVD. SVD is used in the dataset transformation process. K-Means and K-Means++ algorithms are used for grouping menu items. The experiments show that the K-Means++ model with SVD produced the most optimal cluster in this research. The model produced an average cluster distance value of 0.002; the smallest Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI) value is 0.141. Therefore, using the K-Means++ model with SVD in menu engineering analysis produces clusters containing menu items with high similarity and significant distance between groups. The results obtained from the proposed model can be used as a basis for strategic decision-making of managing price, marketing strategy, etc., for SMEs, especially in the culinary business.
Illuminance Color Independent in Remote Photoplethysmography for Pulse Rate Variability and Respiration Rate Measurement

Published: October 2023

Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is now becoming a new trend method to measure human physiological parameters. Especially due to it noncontact measurement which safe dan suitable to use in this new era condition. Pulse rate variability (PRV) and respiration rate (RR) included as parameters can be measured by using rPPG. PRV and RR are used to measure both physical and psychological wellness of the subject. However, current performance challenges in rPPG algorithm in measuring PRV and RR are illuminance invariant and motion. Especially in different light condition which represent real-life environment, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) will be affected and directly reduce the measurement accuracy. Therefore in this study, we develop rPPG algorithm and then investigate the performance rPPG in different illuminance scenarios. We perform PRV and RR measurement under each scenario. On this study, for the pulse signal extraction, we were using algorithm is based on the modification of plane orthogonal-to-skin (POS) algorithm. While, for respiration signal extraction is done in CIE Lab color space. Our experimental results show the mean absolute error (MAE) of each measured parameters are 3.25 BPM and 2 BPM for PRV and RR respectively compared with clinical apparatus.Â  The proposed method proved to be more reliable to use in real environments measurement. However, limitation of our proposed algorithm is still running in offline mode, hence for the future we want try to make our algorithm run in real time.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for the education sector to explore a digital revolution. The adaptation of digital technologies has improved many aspects, including the teaching and learning experiences and administration tasks, which results in more efficient task handling. This study investigates the readiness of the WLAN infrastructure at Malaysian Public Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in implementing smart campus initiatives and measures readiness based on the availability of WLAN Infrastructure, WLAN logical architecture and WLAN populated coverage area. This study administered a questionnaire to 19 respondents, all of whom are IT personnel from Malaysian public HEIs to gather preliminary data on the readiness of WLAN infrastructure at Malaysian Public HEI to support the adaptation of smart campus initiatives in their teaching and learning activities. This study is a preliminary study concerning the readiness of WLAN infrastructure at Malaysian Public HEI in adapting smart campus initiatives. The findings show that, even though WLAN service is available at all Malaysian Public HEI, it is essential to enhance the adopted logical architecture and WLAN coverage to prepare HEI to become smart campuses. The findings of this study can provide the fundamental guidelines for the Ministry of Higher Education in determining the baseline of WLAN infrastructure required by Malaysian HEI to support smart campusÂ initiatives.

Today, machine learning is utilized in several industries, including tourism, hospitality, and the hotel industry. This project uses machine learning approaches such as classification to predict hotel customersâ€™ loyalty and develop viable strategies for managing and structuring customer relationships. The research is conducted using the CRISP-DM technique, and the three chosen classification algorithms are random forest, logistic regression, and decision tree. This study investigated key characteristics of merchantsâ€™ customersâ€™ behavior, interest, and preference using a real-world case study with a hotel booking dataset from the C3 Rewards and C3 Merchant systems. Following a comprehensive investigation of prospective preferences in the pre-processing phase, the best machine learning algorithms are identified and assessed for forecasting customer loyalty in the hotel business. The study's outcome was recorded and examined further before hotel operators utilized it as a reference. The chosen algorithms are developed utilizing Python programming language, and the analysis result is evaluated using the Confusion Matrix, specifically in terms of precision, recall, and F1-score. At the end of the experiment, the accuracy values generated by the logistic regression, decision tree, and random forest algorithms were 57.83%, 71.44%, and 69.91%, respectively. To overcome the limits of this study method, additional datasets or upgraded algorithms might be utilized better to understand each algorithm's benefits and limitations and achieve further advancement.Â

The socio-technical architecture of constructing a community's traditional house is a zine-qua-non at the locus of developing tourism destinations in several areas worldwide. A socio-technical system is an old approach that is realigned with developing integrated tourism components, especially various tourist attractions based on local cultural treasures. The results of this qualitative research with a phenomenological approach analyze and explain the noumena (meaning) behind the phenomena (facts) regarding socio-technical architecture based on Tongkonan traditional houses in Tana Toraja, Indonesia. The study results found that architectural works are full of symbolic meaning in constructing Tongkonan traditional houses. The crystallization of basic values and value orientation as the noumena (meaning) behind the socio-technical architectural phenomenon of the Tongkonan traditional house that stands upright is because five pillars support it as a representation of 5A (Attractions, Accessibility, Accommodation, Amenity, Ansilarity) as a component of tourism development. The Tongkonan roof model, which at first glance looks like a person praying by raising their hands up or to God, the Creator of the universe, is proof of the basic values and orientation of the socio-cultural and spiritual values of the Toraja people. The image of a rooster, sun, and arrangement of horns mounted on the Tongkonan wall proves the rich treasures of local socio-cultural life (local wisdom, local genius) of the local community as a result of creativity and innovation that sustainably has value.

Three-Dimensional scanning is a method to convert various distances set into object visualization in 3-dimensional form. Developing a 3D scanner has various methods and techniques depending on the 3d scanner's purpose and the size of the object target. This research aims to build a prototype of a 3D scanner scanning small objects with dimensions maximum(10x7x23)cm. The study applied an a-three dimensional(3D) scanner using infrared and a motor to move the infrared upward to get Z-ordinate. The infrared is used to scan an object and visualize the result based on distance measurement by infrared. At the same time, the motor for rotating objects gets the (X, Y) ordinates. The object was placed in the center of the scanner, and the maximum distance of the object from infrared was 20cm. The model uses infrared to measure the object's distance, collect the result for each object's height, and visualize it in the graphic user interface. In this research, we tested the scanner with the distance between the object and infrared were 7 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm. The best result was 80% accurate, with the distance between the object and the infrared being 10cm. The best result was obtained when the scanner was used on a cylindrical object and an object made of a non-glossy material. The design of this study is not recommended for objects with edge points and metal material.

Hacıabdullah village, where rockfall events occur frequently, is an important mountainous region located within the boundaries of Niğde province, which is one of the top provinces in Türkiye in terms of rockfall events and is located in the Central Anatolia Region. Despite the frequent occurrence of many rockfall events of varying sizes, no precautions are taken as a result of these events, leading to economic damages. Therefore, Hacıabdullah village, which poses a high danger and risk in terms of slope instability and rockfall potential, has been selected as the study area. The study aims to evaluate rockfall events occurring on steep slopes in Haciabullah village, based on the potential rock blocks that could fall, by modeling them according to their geometries. Within this scope, the potential 17 rock blocks that could fall have been identified in the field and modelled using RAMMS 3D rockfall software according to their geometric characteristics. In addition to the geometric characteristics of the rock blocks, their potential falling areas, velocities, jump heights, and kinetic energies will also be determined, the basis of the rockfall hazard analysis. For the 3D modeling of the study, UAV-DSM (3cm resolution), which represents the high-resolution surface of the topography, has been used as the main dataset. As a result of 3D rockfall modeling, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum velocity, and maximum jump height of the falling blocks reached 3476 kJ, 23.1 m/s, and 14.57 m, respectively. The result of the kinematic analysis showed a higher probability of toppling type in the whole study area. Rocks that do not move very far from the source area are; in other words and may significantly damage the roads. However, rolling blocks, in other words, blocks that can travel long distances from the source area, have the potential to cause great damage to the settlement areas, roads, and trees. According to the hazard map, blocks involve high and moderate levels of risk for settlement units.

Published: October 2023

In the intricate domain of software systems verification, dynamically model checking multifaceted system characteristics remains paramount, yet challenging. This research proposes the advanced observe-based statistical model-checking (OSM) framework, devised to craft executable formal models directly from foundational system code. Leveraging model checking predicates, the framework melds seamlessly with aspect-oriented programming paradigms, yielding a potent method for the analytical verification of varied behavioral attributes. Exploiting the transformative capacity of OSM framework, primary system code undergoes a systematic metamorphosis into multifaceted analysis constructs. This not only simplifies the model verification process but also orchestrates feature interactions using an innovative observing join point abstraction mechanism. Within this framework, components encompassing parsing, formal verification, computational analytics, and rigorous validation are intrinsically interwoven. Marrying the principles of model checking with aspect-oriented (AO) modularization, OSM framework stands as a paragon, proficiently scrutinizing and affirming system specifications. This ensures the unyielding performance of electronic health record systems amidst shifting preconditions. OSM framework offers runtime verification of both object-oriented and AO deployments, positioning itself as an indispensable open-source resource, poised to automate the enhancement of system performance and scalability.
