Analysis of bit error rate and receiver sensitivity of a DC biased optical OFDM transmission link using single mode fiber with distributed Raman amplifier
Authors: Tithi Fahmida Hossain , Majumder Satya Prasad
Published: December 2024

In this paper, an analytical method is presented to assess the performance of bit error rate (BER) of a DC biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) SMF transmission with distributed Raman amplifier (DRA). Formulas are developed to determine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output of a DCO-OFDM receiver and the bit error rate (BER) for an OFDM demodulator’s output. By considering the Gaussian probability density function (pdf) for the OFDM demodulator output, the average BER is calculated numerically. The results are presented based on receiver sensitivity, bit error rate and optical SNR at a given BER of 10−9, with variations in system parameters such as input signal power, data rate, fiber distance, modulation index and OFDM sub-channel number. A comparison of BER performance indicates that DC biased optical OFDM with intensity modulation direct detection (DCO-DD-OFDM) offers better receiver sensitivity compared to optical OFDM without DC bias at a BER of 10−9. Our analytical results align with the published findings on optical OFDM.

The three-dimensional visualization of cellular architecture by volume electron microscopy (vEM) has reignited interest in morphological descriptions of complex tissue. At the same time, the increasing availability of vEM in life sciences was the foundation for the accelerated development of analysis pipelines with automated software tools for segmentation and 3D reconstruction. This progress results in continuous generation of large amounts of data that hold a treasure box of new scientific insights waiting for discovery. Automated segmentation of morphological architecture provides quantitative readouts of cellular and organellar properties, while open availability of datasets creates the opportunity to address a diversity of research questions. Here, we discuss sample preparation and data analysis strategies in vEM and showcase how this methodology contributed to our knowledge of myelin biology and disease. Furthermore, we intent to inform users about new developments in the field of instrumentation, methods and software development with the potential to contribute to other areas of research.

Published: December 2024

Many challenges are involved in solving mechanical design optimization problems related to the real-world, such as conflicting objectives, assorted design variables, discrete search space, intuitive flaws, and many locally optimal solutions. A comparison of algorithms on a given set of problems can provide us with insights into their performance, finding the best one to use, and potential improvements needed in their mechanisms to ensure maximum performance. This motivated our attempts to comprehensively compare eight recent meta-heuristics on 15 mechanical engineering design problems. Algorithms considered are water wave optimizer (WWO), butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA), Henry gas solubility optimizer (HGSO), Harris Hawks optimizer (HHO), ant lion optimizer (ALO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), sine–cosine algorithm (SCA) and dragonfly algorithm (DA). Comparative performance analysis is based on the solution trait obtained from statistical tests and convergence plots. The results demonstrate the wide range of adaptability of considered algorithms for future applications.
XV. YY. ŞAİRİ MOLLÂ ‘AŞKÎ’NİN YAYIMLANMAMIŞ ŞİİRLERİ
Authors: Gedik Nusret
Published: December 2024

İstanbul’un Balat semtinde bizzat kendisinin inşa ettirdiği ve kendi adıyla anılan mahallede bulunan caminin tapu tahrir kayıtlarından asıl adının Abdürrezzâk olduğu bilinen Mollâ ‘Aşkî, XV. yy. şairlerindendir. Ayvansarâyî’nin Hadîkatü’l-Cevâmî’sinde ise “‘Aşkî Muhammed Efendi” olarak geçen şair, II. Murad ve Fatih Sultan Mehmed dönemi şairlerinden olup Sehî’nin Heşt Behişt adlı şairler tezkiresinde kendisinden sitayişle bahsedilen bir zâttır. İstanbul’un fethinden sonra Fatih’in şehri her yönden mamur bir hâle getirme çabaları dâhilinde ‘Aşkî’ye günlük 100 akça maaş bağlandığı kaynaklarda bildirilmektedir. Dönemin şartları düşünüldüğünde oldukça büyük bir meblağ olan bu miktar sultanın şaire karşı alakasını ortaya koyar mahiyet arz etmektedir. Tezkirelerde şairin hayatı ve şiirlerinden ziyade bu durum da gözden kaçmamış ve bu sebeple Latîfî Tezkiresi ve onu takip eden diğer tezkirelerde şair için kimi olumsuz söz ve ithamlar aynı mahlaslı başka bir şairle karıştırma suretiyle söylene gelmiştir. Yoksa kendisi de ‘Avnî mahlasıyla şiirler yazan ve Dîvân sahibi ilk Osmanlı padişahı olarak şiir ve inşâ başta olmak üzere pek çok ilimde üstün yetenekleri olan bir padişahın günlük 100 akçe gibi pek yüksek bir meblağı şaire tahsis etmesi bu durumu açıklanamaz bir hâle sokabilmektedir. Devrinde oldukça önemli bir kişi olan şairin günümüze Heft Peyker mesnevisi ulaşmış fakat mürettep bir Dîvân nüshası henüz tespit edilememiştir. Şairin şiirleri araştırmacılar tarafından derlenip toplanarak Dîvân nüshası hâlinde yayımlanmıştır. Bu çalışma da şairin hazırlanan Dîvân’ında yer almayan 13 yeni manzumesini ilim âlemine sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. T.C. Devlet Arşivleri Osmanlı Arşivi Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Evrakı’nda bulunan belgelerde şairin sultana sunduğu gazel ve murabba nazım şekli ile kaleme aldığı şiirleri tespit edilmiştir. Klasik Türk edebiyatının kaynakları arasında sayılması gereken Osmanlı arşivi üzerine yaptığımız çalışmalar soyundan olan bu makalede şairin yeni şiirleri ve muhteviyatı çalışmanın ana konusu olmuştur.

Tropical forests have known ecosystem services, including sequestering atmospheric carbon and fixing it into biomass. Since the revolutionary industrial changes, the atmospheric carbon level has risen during the recent decades, while the global temperature has increased compared to the pre-industrial levels. Furthermore, reducing atmospheric carbon can mitigate global warming and climate change. This study aims to estimate the aboveground biomass and carbon stock in the Pesanggrahan Forest, Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, and contribute local information to the vast global literature. This study was conducted in August 2023 and measured all tree species with a diameter >20 cm in a 5-ha area. The results found 208 individuals and 39 species of trees, the aboveground biomass and carbon stock of which were calculated. The total aboveground biomass (AGB) and carbon stock were 4,486 and 2,248 tons C/ha, respectively. Meanwhile, the total forest AGB and carbon stock in the 5-ha sampling area were 224.77 tons/ha and 112.39 tons C/ha, respectively. These findings highlight the cruciality of tropical forest vegetation in carbon storage and their overall role in regional and global ecosystem management in light of climate change.

O presente artigo busca estabelecer uma análise da produção historiográfica sobre os ciganos entre os séculos XIX e XXI. A partir disso, buscamos mapear as principais publicações sobre essa minoria étnica produzidas no Brasil e Portugal nesses três séculos, em língua portuguesa. Após indicação dos elementos introdutórios, a escrita segue apontando a dificuldade de inclusão historiográfica desses sujeitos para, em seguida, pensar sobre as três fases de desenvolvimento de estudos sobre os ciganos. A primeira etapa é caracterizada pela produção etnográfica e folclorista, e o segundo momento é de protagonismo dos trabalhos desenvolvidos no âmbito dos programas de pós-graduação no Brasil e, por fim, de debates promovidos no seio de movimentos políticos e instituições jurídicas de defesa da causa cigana. Os textos apresentados variam em estilo, ênfase, fontes, aporte teórico, recortes espacial e geográfico, mas de algum modo tentam preencher a lacuna existente na produção do conhecimento sobre povos ciganos no Brasil e no mundo ocidental. A historiografia cigana se encontra em situação limitada de desenvolvimento, em função de questões como: a dificuldade de parte dos centros de produção de conhecimento em percebê-los como sujeitos históricos e políticos; a ausência de orientadores capacitados para orientação desse tema; o pouco interesse dos historiadores; e o acesso limitado aos seios das comunidades de ciganos, que transmitem a sua cultura e história via oralidade. A proposta deste estudo se baseia nas discussões apresentadas por Rodrigo Corrêa Teixeira, François Laplatine e Geraldo Pieroni.
ŞEYH MÂNİ EL-MÜNTEFİKÎ İSYANI VE BU İSYANA KARŞI ALINAN TEDBİRLER
Authors: Dağaşan Derya , Gümüş Ercan
Published: December 2024

Basra Ayaklanması olarak da kaynaklara yansıyan Şeyh Mâni İsyanı 1692-1701 yılları arasındaki birtakım askeri hazırlıklar neticesinde bastırılabilmişti. Şeyh Mâni’yi bölgede aktör kılan ise Müntefik Urbanı’nın lideri olmasıydı. Müntefik Aşireti Şiî inanca tâbi iken Mâni’nin de mensubu olduğu yönetici konumundaki Sa’dûn Hanedanı ise Sünni idi. Bu mezhep farklılığı Osmanlı Devleti ile kurulan ilişkide kolaylaştırıcı bir rol oynamıştı. Anılan yıllardaki isyan, ödenmesi gereken vergilerin tahsil edilememesinden kaynaklanmıştı. Bu yıllarda Basra’yı besleyen suların rejimi bozulmuş, hidrolik düzenin bozulması tarımsal düzeni vurmuş, nihayetinde uzunca yıllar sürecek bir kıtlık baş göstermişti. Kıtlık ise salgın hastalıklarla birleşince bölgenin idari düzeni yerle yeksan olmuştu. Kıtlık ve salgın hastalık sadece Basra’yı değil Bağdat’ı da vurmuştu. Şeyh Mâni’nin asi olarak ilan edildiği sırada neredeyse bir yıldan fazla bir süredir Basra valisi olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Osmanlı merkez yönetimi ilki 1696 yılında olmak üzere 1698 ile 1699-1701 yıllarında üç defa sefer hazırlıklarına başlanmasını emretmişti. Ancak üçüncü hazırlık bir sefere dönüşmüştü. Şeyh Mâni’yi Basra’dan çıkarmak üzere Osmanlı Devleti ve Safevi Devleti iş birliğine girmişti. Öte yandan bu askeri seferler için sürekli serdar değişikliğine gidilmişti. Son sefer sonucunda isyan halindeki Urban aşiretleri düzene sokulmuştu. Şeyh Mâni uzlaşma yoluyla isyandan dönmüştü ve seferden kısa bir süre sonra doğal nedenlerle hayatını kaybetmişti.

PECULIARITIES OF THE AUTHOR’S REPRESENTATION OF RUSSIAN REALITIES IN THE FRENCH TRANSLATION OF THE NOVEL BY I.S. TURGENEV «FATHERS AND CHILDREN»
Authors: Haritonova Irina , Belyaeva Catherine
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to show what methods of verbalization of Russian referent realities are used by I.S. Turgenev in the French version of his novel «Fathers and Sons» («Pères et enfants»). The assessment of contemporaries presents a general description of the literary style of the Russian writer, the features of which I.S. Turgenev and his co-author L. Viardot tried to preserve it in the French edition. It is demonstrated that literary talent and intuition allowed the authors of the French translation, without relying on existing scientific theories, to achieve a high level of equivalence in describing pictures of the life of the landed nobility on the eve of the peasant reform of 1861. Used by I.S. Turgenev's methods of representing Russian realities are interpreted on the basis of modern translation studies ideas about realities and strategies for their transmission by means of the target language. Realia is considered as a binary term that has a conceptual referential correlation with objective reality and linguistic conceptual content (a system of denotative, significative and connotative meanings). In this regard, in a debatable aspect, it is proposed to distinguish between referent realities and linguistic realities as categories of analysis. The study used methods of description, statistical analysis, identification of linguistic and extralinguistic factors influencing the selection of nominative strategies for verbalizing the realities of the Russian language in the French version of the novel «Pères et enfants». In general, the work illustrates the assessment of P. Mérimée, the author of the preface to the novel «Pères et enfants». According to the French writer’s point of view, the author’s translation of the novel is highly accurate (fort exacte), despite some «losses» in the description of the national color.
PAREMIOLOGICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT «HOLIDAY» IN TAJIK LANGUAGE
Authors: Razykova Malika
Published: December 2024

The article examines with the proverbs and sayings related to the periphery of the concept «holiday/id». The interpretative field of the concept includes components reflecting Tajik perceptions of holiday, various judgments and evaluations by representing the concept in its entirety.
The analysis highlights features reflected in the studied proverbs, that are: hospitality, emphasizing the guest’s treatment, his role, and associated customs, playing a crucial role in holiday understanding. The guests are honored more than the father and the household members. However, their stay is limited. Treats and a set table bear the character of hospitality in Tajik language proverbs. Holidays and time also have a significant influence, bringing aspects of timely and untimely actions, as well as future events predictions. The component «holiday» most often includes the lexeme «id» itself, as well as the names of holidays: «Navruz», «tui/wedding» and related omens.
Thus, the analysis of proverbs enriches understanding of Tajik culture and its correlation with holidays, illustrating holidays’ integral role in Tajik life and cultural heritage.

The phonetic transformations that occur under the influence of autochthonous languages are considered in the acrolect, basilect and mesolect versions of the language. Examples and analysis of phonetic substitutions and oppositions of both vowels and consonants are given. Interference also depends on sociolinguistic factors, such as the level of education and wealth of the family, and the place of residence.
PRECEDENT STATEMENTS IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE: CHINESE STUDENTS' PREFERENCES
Authors: Yeerbaota Nuerpulati
Published: December 2024

Precedence in linguistics is considered as a way of reflecting national cultural traditions in texts, which is manifested in the evaluation and perception of historical events, personalities, myths, artistic monuments and literary works, including oral folk art. This phenomenon includes both collective and individual cultural codes, which are perceived and interpreted by native speakers, forming the basis for intercultural communication. In the context of learning Russian by foreigners, precedent phenomena play a key role in mastering not only linguistic but also cultural aspects, which allows to penetrate deeper into the mentality of Russian language speakers. When foreigners study Russian, it is the most important part of mastering linguoculture. However, the active fund and quality of precedent statements in the speech of foreigners has its own specificity. This study focuses on the study of Chinese students' preferences in the use of precedent statements of the Russian language.

This work aims to use remote sensing data from the IMERG and GLDAS products based on an average monthly grid of precipitation and evapotranspiration to generate a spatial analysis of the precipitation and evapotranspiration variables in the Pirapó River sub-basin, focusing on the water intake station in Maringá, Paraná, aiming to improve the monitoring and management of water resources. A quantitative approach was applied using a 07x09 cell mesh (100 km² per cell) to map environmental variables from 2000 to 2020. Precipitation was analyzed using Thiessen polygons with data from five rain gauge stations, and evapotranspiration was obtained through energy balance and temperature data from a climatological station. Statistical methods of accuracy and similarity were used to validate the results. The study presents an important application of remote sensing to monitor hydrometeorological variables at a spatial scale in the Pirapó River basin, offering an alternative to point data obtained from ground stations. The generated mesh showed great correlation and good similarity between the precipitation and evapotranspiration data, with low errors and uncertainties, confirming the accuracy of the spatialized data. The adjusted mesh can be used for correlation with other hydrometeorological parameters, as well as for spatial analysis of the variables involved in the management of water resources and the hydrological cycle. The proposed methodology can enhance water resource management by providing more detailed data for environmental impact predictions and sustainable management of natural and anthropogenic environments.

This study primarily aims to evaluate the effectiveness of green infrastructure in managing stormwater and reducing floods in the watersheds of São Paulo. The research is justified by the increasing unregulated urbanization, which has exacerbated environmental problems such as soil impermeability and rising flood incidents. Green infrastructure emerges as a promising approach to mitigate these issues, promoting environmental sustainability and quality of life in urban areas. The methodology involves analyzing three specific watersheds in São Paulo: Córrego Mandaqui, Córrego Cabuçu de Baixo, and Córrego Jacu. Through multiple case studies, the research assesses the characteristics of these watersheds and the green infrastructure interventions implemented, such as linear parks and bioretention systems. Data collection was conducted through exploratory research and qualitative analysis, allowing for triangulation of information and identification of patterns and conflicts. The results indicate that green infrastructure has significantly contributed to reducing flood impacts and improving environmental quality in the analyzed watersheds, although challenges related to implementation and management persist, requiring more adaptive and context-specific approaches.

Biyolojik doğal afetlerden biri olan böcek istilâları, dünyanın başka bölgelerine benzer şekilde Türkiye’de de zaman zaman gerçekleşmektedir. Böcek istilâsı sırasında, tarım ürünleri başta olmak üzere bitkilerin büyük hasara uğraması nedeniyle, insanlar da hem doğrudan hem de dolaylı olarak etkilenir. Türkçe internet kaynaklarına ait haber metinlerinde böcek istilâlarının nasıl ele alındığı konusu bu çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçla; 2014 yılından günümüze kadar olan yaklaşık 10 yıllık süre içerisinde haber yapılan toplam 29 böcek istilâsı vakasına ait 50 farklı internet haberine erişilerek değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Durum çalışması olan bu çalışmanın verileri doküman analiziyle elde edilmiş, bulgular betimsel nitel tekniklerle coğrafî perspektiften yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; incelenen haberlerin 35 farklı internet kaynağından alındığı, en fazla 2014 Haziran’ında yaşanan Van Bahçesaray böcek istilâsının haber yapıldığı, yıllara göre böcek istilâlarının çoğaldığı, kurak bir dönemin ardından gelen ani sağanak yağışlarla sayısı hızla arttığı için Türkiye’nin en fazla çekirge (Caelifera) istilâsına uğradığı, haber fotoğraflarında en fazla olay yerinden görüntülerin yer aldığı, metinlerde en fazla ekili dikili ürünlerin zarar gördüğünün vurgulandığı, mekânsal özellikler üzerinde çok durulmasa da bazı haberlerde yağış ve sıcaklık durumuna değinildiği, uzman ya da yetkililerin görüşlerine yer verildiği ve en fazla bahsedilen çözüm önerisinin yetkililerce ilâçlama yapılması olduğu belirlenmiştir. Gelecekte karşılaşılabilecek böcek istilâsı haberlerinde insanları ürkütmekten kaçınılarak; mağdurların böceklerle mücadelede en yeni yöntemler konusunda eğitilmesine yönelik uzman-yetkili-halk işbirliğini teşvik edecek bütünleştirici ifadelere yer verilmesi, haberlerin tamamında özellikle yakın çevredeki uzmanların bizzat sahadan seslenerek doğru yönlendirmelere destek sağlanması, böylece maddî ve manevî kayıpların en aza indirilmesi için hassasiyet gösterilmesi önerilmektedir.

A pandemia do Coronavírus gerou consequências negativas em escala mundial e em todos os âmbitos. Para além das condições patológicas específicas causadas pelo vírus, deve-se considerar as condições de saúde psíquica da população, em decorrência desse período. Assim, esta pesquisa com auxílio da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), objetivou analisar a relação entre o Clima Organizacional e o Sofrimento Psíquico experimentado por trabalhadores atuantes em uma rede de supermercados no período de pandemia da Covid-19. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, de caráter exploratório e estudo de caso. Foi realizada em uma rede de supermercados no sul de Minas Gerais, que possui aproximadamente 700 profissionais contratados, 6 lojas situadas em quatro cidades. Como resultados, conclui-se que o motivo dos sujeitos terem apresentado mais atestados relacionados a questões psicológicas, deve-se ao contexto pandêmico, pois o cenário de incertezas acarretou sofrimento psíquico. Verificou-se um número de 76 (setenta e seis) atestados entre o período analisado (janeiro de 2019, até setembro de 2021), sendo 40 do sexo feminino, e 36 do sexo masculino. Por fim, observou-se que o transtorno mais comum no sexo feminino foi a depressão; já no sexo masculino, predominaram-se atestados por motivo de acompanhamento psicológico.

Aim of study: The study carried out a phytochemical analysis for tannin, flavonoid, saponins, phenol, alkaloids, terpenoids and anti-nutrient compounds – Oxalate and phytate.
Materials and method: These were carried out on powdered leaf methanolic extract of five endemic Pterocarpus species viz; P. osun, P. mildbraedii, P. soyauxii, P. erinaceus and P. santaloides using standard procedure.
Main results: Both qualitative and quantitative analysis indicated that the leaves sample contained similar phytochemical/secondary metabolites with variation in mean concentration value (mg/100g); Tannins (1.06 - 2.89 mg/100g); flavonoid (2.17-5.46 mg/100g); saponins (2.78¬¬-9.38 mg/100g), phenol (1.13-2.56 mg/100g), Alkaloids (3.06-6.28 mg/100g), Terpenoids (1.32-2.46 mg/100g); Oxalate (0.34-1.14 mg/100g) and Phytate (0.16-0.46 mg/100g). These differed significantly (p≥0.05) amongst the examined taxa.
Research highlights: The highest concentration of saponins, phenol, tannin and phytate was found in leaves of P. mildbraedii while P. erinaceus contained the highest concentration of flavonoid, alkaloid and oxalate. However, terpenoid was found highest in leaves of P. soyauxii. Generally, the studied Pterocarpus species contained low level of anti-nutrient compound making them safe for consumption. Thus, the study revealed the rich phytochemical content in leaves of this genus to justify their ethnobotanical usage for leafy vegetable and ethnomedicine. Furthermore, findings provided additional information in support of the taxonomic placement and classification of members of the genus on the basis of their phytochemistry.
