O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o tratamento químico, a durabilidade e a lixiviação de bambu tratado e submetido a ensaio em campo de apodrecimento. Para isso, foram coletadas hastes de Dendrocalamus asper com diâmetro entre 10 e 15 cm, totalizando 12 amostras. O tratamento químico consistiu de imersão das amostras em solução de borato de cobre cromatado (CCB), nas concentrações de 1 e 3%, e o tratamento controle (imersão em água). Posteriormente, o material foi submetido ao ensaio em campo de apodrecimento por um período de 5 anos. Ao final do período, o material recebeu avaliação visual quanto à deterioração. Foram coletadas amostras representativas dos tratamentos, assim como do solo, para análises de espectrometria. O tratamento com CCB conferiu preservação às hastes de bambu, não apresentando degradação biológica, enquanto o tratamento controle demonstrou estágio elevado de apodrecimento. Quando comparado com estudos semelhantes utilizando madeira, os resultados obtidos se destacaram, sendo que o material de bambu tratado por imersão com CCB apresentou durabilidade elevada. Nas análises de espectrometria, verificou-se que a parte inferior, em contato com o solo, apresentou maior lixiviação de cobre e cromo do que a parte aérea das hastes.
Boosting Simple Learners
Authors: Alon Noga , Gonen Alon , Hazan Elad , Moran Shay
Published: June 2023

Boosting is a celebrated machine learning approach which is based on the idea
of combining weak and moderately inaccurate hypotheses to a strong and accurate
one. We study boosting under the assumption that the weak hypotheses belong to
a class of bounded capacity. This assumption is inspired by the common
convention that weak hypotheses are "rules-of-thumbs" from an "easy-to-learn
class". (Schapire and Freund~'12, Shalev-Shwartz and Ben-David '14.) Formally,
we assume the class of weak hypotheses has a bounded VC dimension. We focus on
two main questions: (i) Oracle Complexity: How many weak hypotheses are needed
to produce an accurate hypothesis? We design a novel boosting algorithm and
demonstrate that it circumvents a classical lower bound by Freund and Schapire
('95, '12). Whereas the lower bound shows that $\Omega({1}/{\gamma^2})$ weak
hypotheses with $\gamma$-margin are sometimes necessary, our new method
requires only $\tilde{O}({1}/{\gamma})$ weak hypothesis, provided that they
belong to a class of bounded VC dimension. Unlike previous boosting algorithms
which aggregate the weak hypotheses by majority votes, the new boosting
algorithm uses more complex ("deeper") aggregation rules. We complement this
result by showing that complex aggregation rules are in fact necessary to
circumvent the aforementioned lower bound. (ii) Expressivity: Which tasks can
be learned by boosting weak hypotheses from a bounded VC class? Can complex
concepts that are "far away" from the class be learned? Towards answering the
first question we {introduce combinatorial-geometric parameters which capture
expressivity in boosting.} As a corollary we provide an affirmative answer to
the second question for well-studied classes, including half-spaces and
decision stumps. Along the way, we establish and exploit connections with
Discrepancy Theory.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the willingness of parents to allow their children to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and the factors affecting the decision.

METHODS: This study was conducted as a prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive survey study. A survey consisting of questions about the COVID-19 vaccination was conducted with parents.

RESULTS: The study included 592 parents, 180 (30.4%) male, and the mean age was 34.14 ± 7.42 years. There were 257 (43.4%) parents would vaccinate their children. A high level of education of parents (p=0,022), a high monthly income of the family (p=0,006), and male gender (p=0,002) were associated with high willingness to vaccinate their children. Two hundred twenty two parents stated that their decision may change depending on whether the vaccine is of domestic or foreign origin, and 215 (96.85%) of them stated that they would prefer domestic vaccines. The most frequent reasons for vaccine hesitancy or refusal to their children were: fear of possible side effects and it being a foreign vaccine.

CONCLUSION: The hesitancy or refusal of parents to vaccinate their children with the COVID-19 vaccine is high. Public health authorities should inform the public about the importance of vaccination and domestic vaccine production should be encouraged

Published: June 2023

Türkiye’de 2001 ve 2008 yıllarında yaşanan ekonomik krizler iki farklı dönem olarak çalışmada ele alınmıştır. Her dönem kriz öncesi ve kriz sonrası olmak üzere üç yıllık incelemeye alınan işletmelerin finansal oranlarının yer aldığı kümelerden oluşmaktadır. Böylece krizin işletmeleri nasıl etkilediği karşılaştırılmalı olarak ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

Bu çalışmada BİST’te 2001 yılında işlem gören ve finansal tablolarına ulaşılan tekstil işletmelerinin finansal verileri kullanılmıştır. 2001 ve 2008 ekonomik kriz yıllarında işletmelerin performansları ve etkinlikleri ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Söz konusu yıllarda Çok Kriterli Karar Verme yöntemlerinden SWARA yöntemi ile finans uzmanlarınca seçilen mali oranlarla belirlenen kriterler ağırlıklandırılmış, TOPSIS yöntemi ile işletmelerin performans sıralaması yapılmıştır. Daha sonra temel Veri Zarflama Analizi yöntemlerinden CCR tekniği ile işletmelerin etkinlik sıralaması yapılmıştır.

Araştırma sonucunda, seçilmiş tekstil işletmelerinin etkinlik ve performans değerlerinin birbirine paralel olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ekonomik kriz dönemleri tekstil işletmelerini olumsuz etkilemiş ancak bu işletmelerin finansal açıdan hızlıca toparlandıkları görülmüştür. İşletme etkinliklerini olumsuz etkileyen kriterler belirlenerek bunların düzeltilebilmesi için öneriler bulunulmuştur.
The Potential of Applying Social Network Analysis to Evaluate Cross-Regional Online Interaction among Russian Youth
Authors: Kalashnikova Sofia K. , Puzanova Anna D.
Published: June 2023

In a relatively short period of time, social networks have become a unique source of personal data, providing information about the interests, values, and environments of billions of real people. The purpose of this paper is to determine the potential of applying social network analysis techniques to assess the online interactions of Russian youth in the context of regional differences. In the empirical part of the study, we focused on the largest regional groups (284 communities) in the social network VKontakte, where users discuss socio-political topics. The sample size consisted of 4,020,268 people aged 14 to 35 across Russia. Our analysis allowed assessing the proximity of groups to each other within specific regions or federal districts. Additionally, we determined the density (connectedness) of communities for each region. As a result, we demonstrated the potential of network analysis in exploring the connections between subscribers to online communities and the nature of association among these communities across federal districts. We identified some disconnected objects from the overall network of interaction, which could be explained by regional specificities or differences in community topics.
Peter I Digital
Authors: Dydrov Arthur A. , Rezvushkina Sofya A.
Published: June 2023

The subject of the review is the monograph “Peter I in Media Memory” by Denis S. Artamonov and Sophia V. Tikhonova. Like their previous study on historical memory, the scientists rely on a variety of empirical material, including microformatted Internet content, cinema, animation, and video games. One of the central concepts of the book, mediatization, is explored through its application to the legendary historical figure of Peter the First. The analysis focuses on the well-known events and processes of Peter the First era that exist in historical memory and have entered the digital environment, as well as iconic mythologems.

“Media memory” is not presented as an alternative source of knowledge about the past that exists alongside traditional forms of recording and broadcasting history. Instead, the authors argue that it functions as a resource for the formation of collective identities and the transformation of historical knowledge. The book delves into the mechanisms of contemporary discourses, providing insights into concepts such as the politics of memory, memorial war, media oblivion, and more. Despite its high theoretical level, the study is intended for a broad audience interested in digital culture.

Time as Duration in Artistic Communication
Authors: Minnullina Elina B.
Published: June 2023

The article deals with epistemological, aesthetic and communicative aspects of time. The metalanguage of the study is the system of artistic communication. Understanding time as duration, the author uses A. Bergson’s theory of duration which has become relevant in the context of post-non-classical trends in the development of science.

This study is based on a phenomenological analysis of the artistic communication of the twentieth century (avant-garde painting, media art, modern music, photography), and takes into account the concepts of time of G. Deleuze, multiple temporalism of I. Wallerstein and F. Braudel, ideas of E. Husserl and M. Heidegger.

The study showed that in the conditions of the information society, the duration of social interactions changes, diachrony at the communication maximum is compressed into synchrony. Art objects, in which the reception of culture is carried out, display individual and social time, and also convey qualitative transitions and temporal layers through the procedures of duration compression and stretching.

The government is committed in making Malaysia a regional hub for higher education by ensuring excellence in service and quality. The gap between men and women regarding higher education has been worldwide. Recently, the undergraduate enrolment in science fields in Malaysian public universities has been declining. The factors which can attract students to enrol in Malaysian public universities depend on many variables. This study analyses the students' enrolment for the three categories of universities using the ANOVA test and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The second is to analyse the gender factor of undergraduate enrolment in Malaysian public universities using the Gender Parity Index (GPI). The third is use the T-test to test the significance difference of mean undergraduate enrolment between STEM and Non-STEM fields of study. There is a mean difference between the undergraduate enrollment for three different categories of Malaysian public universities to each other. Only a strong positive correlation exists between focused universities and research universities. Furthermore, the GPI is higher than 1, there is a disparity in favour of females to the undergraduate enrolment in Malaysian public universities. Furthermore, there is a mean difference in enrolment between STEM and Non-STEM fields of study in Malaysian public universities. Finally, a highly significant relationship between quality education, learning atmosphere, higher performance, and social influences on undergraduate enrolment in Malaysian public universities. Through this statistical research, there is a need to improve the quantity and quality of inputs and outputs data of public universities in Malaysia.

Published: June 2023

Developing countries like Nigeria have been hit hard by recent economic crises, and uncertainty is one of the characteristics that all prices and revenues share. A forecast of Nigerian economic growth was attempted using an artificial neural network (ANN) and statistical model to analyse the contribution of non-oil income tax generation to Nigerian economic development. While the primary objective is to develop and implement the proposed models capable of simulating a real non-oil income tax and evaluate their performances. The  dataset (Corporate Income Tax) from 2015–2020 was obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics of Nigeria (NBSN). Three training algorithms for ANN were adopted, such as conjugate gradient back-propagation with Fletcher-Reeves restarts, Bayesian regularisation, and gradient descent with an adaptive learning rate, whereas in the statistical part, multiple linear regressions were applied. Comparing all the models revealed that the Bayesian regularisation produced more accurate results than the other models.

Authors: Nawaz Ayesha , Rahman Saif Ur , Zafar Mahwish , Ghaffar Muniba
Published: June 2023

This groundbreaking study looked at the issue of pollution of the environment in the E7 countries from 2002 and 2022. We implemented ARDL to investigate how GDP, institutional quality, trade openness, and technological innovation affect CO2 emissions, CH4 emissions, and N2O emissions, which are regarded as indicators of environmental pollution. The findings show that the variables have a lasting, substantial association and all the factors e.g institutional quality, technology innovation, economic growth and trade openness are important factors to effect environmental pollution, except institutional all other factors cause increase in environmental damage because these variables bring increase in CO? emission whereas institutional quality plays a supportive role in environment. In contrast to institutional quality, which has a negative and statistically significant relationship with CO?, trade openness, economic growth, and innovation in technology all have positive and statistically significant relation with carbon dioxide emission. On the other hand, IQ, TOP, and GDP has significant and positive association with Nitrous oxide (N20). Trade openness and Methane (CH4) have a negative relationship which means trade helps to reduce methane emission in the examined countries, although GDP and CH4 have a positive relationship. These E-7 countries should follow an environmentally friendly path to achieve their desired level of GDP. These countries should check the quality of their institutions law and order situations, accountability and control of corruption to improve the condition of environment in the case of N?O.

Studying the soils of different parent material is of utmost importance as it is the basic material upon which soil develops. Nature and characteristics of the soils developed from four different parent materials such as, granite-gneiss, charnockite, calcic-gneiss and colluvio-alluvium were studied in Palani block of Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu. Soils had legacy with the parent materials and showed significant differences in their colour, texture, drainage, soil reaction and nutrient status. The soils were deep to very deep (100 to >150 cm), dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) to very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/1), well to somewhat poorly drained, moderately acid to strongly alkaline (5.8-8.9) with low to medium in organic carbon (0.14-0.56 %). Soils of granite-gneiss and charnockite origin had similarity in their texture, gravel content, horizon sequence (Ap-Bt), soil colour, clay content and soil reaction. Soils of calcicgneiss were very dark gray in colour (10YR 3/1), non-gravelly, clay textured, clay content (55-66 %) and associated slickensides close enough to intersect. Soils of colluvio-alluvium had irregularity in the distribution of clay content and soil colour. Taxonomically the soils were classified as Fine-loamy, mixed, iso-hyperthermic Typic Paleustalfs, Fine-loamy, mixed, isohyperthermic Typic Haplustalfs, Fine, smectitic, iso-hyperthermic Typic Haplusterts and Fine-loamy, mixed, isohyperthermic Typic Haplustepts, respectively. Understanding the influence of parent materials on pedogenesis of these soils would help in optimal soil resource management for sustainable agriculture.
Therapeutic efficacy of N-cholinolitic drug N,N-Diethyl-5,5-diphenyl-2-pentynylamine in models of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema

Published: June 2023

The existing non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) treatment methods are not sufficiently effective. N,N-Diethyl-5,5-diphenyl-2-pentynylamine hydrochloride (DDPA), the N-cholinolitic drug, is of interest as a potential remedy for treatment of toxic pulmonary edema (TPE). The study was aimed to determine therapeutic efficacy of the drug in animal TPE models. TPE in white rats was induced through intraperitoneal thiourea injection or nitrogen dioxide inhalation. Treatment of animals involved inhalation of the DDPA aqueous solution. The efficacy was estimated based on the animals’ survival rate and lung gravimetry data. The results were assessed based on descriptive statistics using the Student's t-test. In the model of thiourea-induced NCPE, the drug administered after the toxic exposure increased the animals’ survival rate and significantly decreased lung hydration levels (149% vs. 262.5% in non-treated animals). In the model of nitrogen dioxideinduced NCPE, the drug significantly increased the rats’ survival rate within the period between 0 and 5 h, however, the differences became non-significant within 24 h. The treated animals had 15–20% lower respiratory rate and pulmonary coefficients than non-treated animals 5 h after the NO2 exposure. The use of DDPA improved the survival rate and overall health in both TPE models, however, the thiourea-based model showed better treatment outcomes compared to the NO2–based model. Such differences can be explained by the deeper and more disruptive nature of the lung tissue injury caused by nitrogen dioxide compared to that caused by thiourea. Thus, the use of DDPA in individuals with injuries induced by pulmonotoxic chemicals may be promising at the prehospital stage.

A metabolic disorder known as diabetes mellitus is brought on when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. Diabetes mellitus has a multifactorial pathogenesis, one of which is environmental pollution caused by agricultural chemicals such as pesticides. Pollutants contained in pesticides can act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals which can disrupt the endocrine system in the body. EDC into the body through exposure to pesticides through the respiratory, skin, and digestive systems. In the next process, it enters the organs of the body, namely, the pancreas. The absorbed EDC affects beta cells in producing insulin hormones. Insulin deficiency leads to high blood sugar levels, resulting in type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the relationship between pesticide exposure and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among farmers. This study was conducted using a systematic review of the research method. The keywords used in the journal search were “pesticide and diabetes mellitus and farmers”. Eight articles met our inclusion criteria. Based on the results of a literature study, the working period, spraying frequency, physical activity, amount of pesticides, and use of personal protective equipment were related to the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in farmers. From the eight articles reviewed, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between exposure to pesticides and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in farmers.

Modern Arap edebiyatında roman türünün ilk örnekleri, Napolyon’un Mısır’ı işgalinin ardından bu ülkede başlatılan yenilik hareketleriyle beraber ortaya çıkmıştır. Teknik ve kurgu açısından Arap romanının arzu edilen standartları yakalaması ve edebî anlamda ilk roman örneklerinin görülmesi ise roman yazarlığından farklı kimlikleriyle ön plana çıkan birçok yazarın bu alana katkı sunmasıyla mümkün olmuştur. Daha çok eleştirmen olarak bilinen bu yazarlardan biri de İbrâhim Abdülkādir el-Mâzinî’dir. Edebiyatın birçok alanında eserler yazmış olan Mâzinî, çoğunlukla psikolojik romanlar kaleme almış usta bir yazardır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Arap edebiyatının önemli isimlerinden biri olan Mâzinî’nin, romanlarında yer verdiği temaları incelemektir. Çalışmamızda Mâzinî’nin İbrâhim el-Kâtib, İbrâhim es-Sânî ve Selâsetü Ricâlin ve’mrae’ romanları incelenmiş ve bu romanlarda ağırlıklı olarak aşk, sevgi, geleneklerin baskısı, çaresizlik, karamsarlık, hayal kırıklığı, hüzün, korku, vehim, kıskançlık ve cimrilik gibi temaların işlendiği tespit edilmiştir. Devrindeki birçok yazarın romanlarında çok daha farklı temalar görülürken, Mâzinî’nin romanlarındaki temaların çoğunlukla insanın iç dünyasını yansıtan psikolojik temalar olduğu görülür. Bu yönüyle Mâzinî, diğer birçok Arap roman yazarından ayrılır.
Mağrib ve Kuzey Afrika Bölgesinde Nâfi‘ Kirâati ve On Tarîki
Authors: SALİHOĞLU Alaaddin
Published: June 2023

Hicrî ilk üç asırda Medine başta olmak üzere Mekke, Kûfe, Basra ve Şam gibi yerleşim merkezlerinde ilk kırâat ekolleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu şehirlerde yoğunlaşan kırâat çalışmaları, yapılan fetihler ve yürütülen İslâmlaştırma faaliyetlerine paralel olarak yeni fethedilen coğrafyalara yayılmış, farklı faktörlerin etkisi altında bazı kırâatler belli bölgelerde hâkim olmuştur. İlk kırâat ekolleri arasında ayrı bir yere sahip olan yedi kırâat imamından Nâfi‘ b. Abdirrahman el-Medenî’nin (ö. 169/785) kırâati Medine’de öne çıkmıştır. Resulullah’ın şehrinin kırâat birikimini yansıtması bakımından büyük önem arz eden bu kırâat, İslamiyet’in erken dönemlerinden itibaren Mağrib ve Kuzey Afrika bölgesinde yayılmaya başlamıştır. Bu bölgede Medine kırâat ekolü insanların teveccühüne mazhar olmuş ve böylece asırlarca tercih edilen hemen hemen tek kırâat olmuştur. Nitekim geçmişten günümüze kadar bölgede basılan mushaflar bu kırâate göre olmuştur.

Bu çalışmada Mağrib ve Kuzey Afrika bölgesinde Nâfi‘ kırâatinin tarihî serencamına ilişkin safhalara ışık tutulmuştur. Bu bağlamda bölgenin fethin-den itibaren buraya intikal eden ilk kırâatler üzerinde durduktan sonra Nâfi‘ kırâatinin bölgeye girişi, öncüleri, gelişmesi ve tarihsel sürecine dair bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Ardından Nâfi‘ kırâatinin bölgede yayılmasının sebeplerine yer verilmiş, bu denli tercih edilmesinin nedenleri analiz edilmiştir. Akabinde İslam dünyası genelinde Nâfi‘ kırâatinin tedrisatı ve kırâat ilminin ana kaynaklarındaki rivâyet ve tarîkleri hakkında malumat verilmiştir. Daha sonra Mağrib özelinde söz konusu kırâatin tedrisatı ve diğer İslam coğrafyalarından temayüz ettiği (Aşere-i Nâfi‘iyye) eğitim programı ile on tarîk ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada yöntem bakımından mukayese ve tarama metodu kullanılmıştır.

Purpose: The study aimed to explore the implementation of the Screening, Identification, Assessment, and Support policy. It underpinned by the Bio-Ecological systems Theory (BEST) which outlines the importance of the surroundings and the interaction of the surrounding in the social and cognitive development of a child.  

Methodology: Data was gathered from a sample 32 participants comprising of 30 teachers from three primary schools and two district officials of the King Cetshwayo District. Survey questionnaires and focus groups interviews were used as data collection instruments. The data is presented into themes namely knowledge and understanding of the SIAS policy; addressing learning barriers identified in primary schools; teachers’ knowledge and skills in working with learners with problems; common learning problems identified in primary schools; and impact of the SIAS policy to the development of learners. These main themes bred the sub-themes namely SIAS policy as a guideline; documented procedure on identifying learners with problems; supporting learners with learning problems as per the SIAS policy; parental involvement; teacher development about the notion of SIAS; cascaded training for teachers; behavioural problems; reading and writing problems; personal and scholastic development of learners; and general successes of the SIAS policy in the education setting.

Findings: The key findings of the study revealed that SIAS policy of inclusive education is not effectively implemented. This is due to teachers not prepared enough in terms of skills and confidence in working with learners with learning problems.

Recommendations: The research therefore recommends that training development needs to be well effected for teachers to align themselves with SIAS policy in working with learners with learning barriers.

O câncer de bexiga continua sendo a neoplasia maligna mais comum do trato urinário. O tratamento padrão-ouro é a cistectomia radical aberta. Técnicas cirúrgicas minimamente invasivas, como a cistectomia assistida por robô, têm sido amplamente utilizadas. Objetivos: Comparar a abordagem robótica com a técnica aberta convencional. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, em que a questão norteadora foi “Quais as vantagens da técnica assistida por robô na cistectomia de pacientes portadores de câncer de bexiga em comparação à cistectomia radical aberta?”. A busca pelos artigos ocorreu na base de dados PubMed a partir dos termos “cystectomy”, "robot-assisted" e “cancer” combinados entre si por operadores booleanos. Resultados e discussão: A cistectomia robótica foi capaz de melhorar a função geral do organismo, quando comparada a cirurgia aberta, além de possibilitar melhor qualidade de vida e menor mortalidade. Entretanto, houve aumento de relatos de sintomas urinários. Conclusão: Portanto, conclui-se que a cistectomia robótica é capaz de possibilitar um melhor período pós-operatório ao paciente, sendo superior também em relação à qualidade de vida após o procedimento cirúrgico. Contudo, é observado um aumento no que diz respeito aos sintomas urinários. Assim, devem ser feitos mais estudos para que se observe a melhor abordagem a depender do quadro do paciente que será submetido à cistectomia.
