THE BYZANTINE REPRESENTATION OF THE ‘ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NATIVITY OF THE THEOTOKOS’ – UNDERLYING APOCRYPHAL TEXT, PATRISTIC REFLECTIONS, LITURGICAL PERSPECTIVES, THEOLOGICAL HIGHLIGHTS, AND ICONOGRAPHIC PATTERN
Authors: SOLOMON Gabriel Ștefan , PAȘCA-TUȘA Stelian
Published: September 2022

The present study aims first and foremost to provide (ikon) painters with the theological content required to carry out a theoretical process of familiarisation with the basic notions that they would be recommended to take into consideration before starting to work on an ikon. In the absence of this information, a painter would find it difficult to understand the theological message of the event they are rendering in art form and therefore encounter significant hindrances in attaining the final goal of their confession of faith. Furthermore, by highlighting the way the pattern of representation of the ikon/scene has evolved and subsequently crystallised, this paper seeks to enable (ikon) painters to understand the defining elements that lie at the foundation of the Byzantine model for representing an event are, to avoid the exclusion of certain essential details from their renditions, which need to fit into the dynamism of Church Tradition. To that end, we have set out to apply these theoretical rigors to a scene from the life of the Mother of God – the announcement of her birth –to provide the reader with the opportunity to take note of the steps to follow before creating an ikon/scene.
EARLY CHILDHOOD IN TODAY’S FAMILY. THE CHRISTIAN LANDMARKS IN THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN
Authors: BRÂNZĂ Mihaela
Published: September 2022

Early childhood represents the most important developmental period. Parents are nowadays confronted with serious challenges in their educational strivings. Many young spouses choose to learn about child psychology to overcome the difficulties raised by a baby’s presence. Christian parents delineate their educational efforts by taking into consideration God’s commandments. Prayer and patience are combined so that a loving dialogue conducts all the family interactions. Pre-schoolers are extremely attentive to what their parents do every day. Their kind gestures and words form the child’s personality. Participation in the liturgical program of a church proves the authentic faith of the parents. Accustomed to the intense atmosphere of a dynamic ecclesial community, the Christian children are taught how to use theological teaching in their daily life. They learn important rules and limits about emotional reactions, expressing compassion, and loving their family, friends, and even strangers. The model provided by mum and dad always had a formative effect. Christian parents instil in their children the willingness to follow love, faith, and trust as the main virtues that a human being can hope for.
The impact of deferred taxes on the market value of Russian banks
Authors: AKSENT'EV Andrei A.
Published: September 2022

Subject. This article attempts to identify the relationship between deferred taxes and the market reaction to the value of Russian banks. It is a continuation of previous studies to assess the relationship between deferred tax assets and the company value, and the applicability of the MTB and Ohlson Models as tools for assessing the relationship between market and accounting indicators.
Objectives. The article aims to explore the information significance of deferred taxes from the standpoint of their impact on the market value of Russian banks whose shares are listed on the Moscow Stock Exchange.
Methods. For the study, I used a statistical analysis and linear regression constructing.
Results. The article finds that deferred tax assets in the MTB Model are negatively related to the ratio of market and balance sheet valuation of capital, and in the Ohlson Model, they are positively related to the equity value ratio. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, the article reveals the shortcomings of the MTB and Ohlson Models when deferred taxes are included in them.
Conclusions and Relevance. Negative valuation of deferred tax assets in the MTB Model reduces the sustainability of profits. A positive assessment of deferred tax assets per share in the Ohlson Model suggests that the Russian capital market responds positively to such an object of accounting observation. The results of the study can be useful to a narrow group of specialists in bank management, financial analysts, scientists and practitioners in the field of accounting, taxation, and other interested parties who study the theoretical and financial aspects of deferred taxes.

Zmiany rozmieszczenia funkcji kontrolno – zarządczych na świecie w latach 2006-2018
Authors: Raźniak Piotr , Winiarczyk-Raźniak Anna , Dorocki Sławomir , Csomós György
Published: September 2022

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy przychody i funkcje kontrolno-zarządcze miast i wybranych państw i regionów funkcje te są wynikiem wzrostu firm już działających w danym mieście lub kraju, czy też przeniesienia siedziby ich zarządu. Określono również poziom zmian przychodów miast i wybranych regionów świata oraz ich funkcji kontrolno-zarządczych, które ukazują aktualną siłę miast i krajów w globalnej gospodarce. W tym celu przeanalizowano ich przychody i obliczono wskaźnik funkcji kontrolno-zarządczych bazujący na przychodach ze sprzedaży, zyskach, wartości rynkowej i wartości środków trwałych korporacji notowanych na liście Forbes Global 2000. Zauważono, iż spada znaczenie najsilniejszych dotychczas miast, takich jak Nowy Jork i Londyn, na rzecz Pekinu, który pełni obecnie najważniejsze funkcje kontrolno-zarządcze w światowej gospodarce. Również firmy chińskie najszybciej rozwijają się, deklasując japońskie, jednakże zmiany lokalizacji siedzib zarządów nie mają większego wpływu na funkcje kontrolno-zarządcze poszczególnych miast i państw. Biorąc pod uwagę, że w ostatnich latach zwiększyła się zarówno liczba jak i przychody firm, które zmieniły siedzibę zarządu, miasta mogą podjąć działania w kierunku zachęcenia największych korporacji do przeniesienia siedzib zarządów właśnie do nich.
Az erősebb alkupozíció hatása a szerződés tökéletességére, illetve teljességére
Authors: Csorba László
Published: September 2022

Erősebb alkupozíció révén lehetőség nyílik előnyösebb feltételek elérésére az esetlegesen létrejövő szerződés tekintetében. Bár a gazdasági erőfölény gyakorta összekapcsolódik az erősebb alkupozícióval, ez a kapcsolat nem szükségszerű és nem általános. A relatíve erősebb alkupozíció alapvetően a felek rá- és egymásra utaltságának eredőjéből jön létre. A ráutaltság mögött általában véve az alternatívák, illetve a tartalékok hiánya húzódik meg. A ráutaltságra ható alaptényezők hatását a szereplő releváns tudása, alkutechnikája jelentős mértékben befolyásolhatja. Az ún. tökéletes szerződésnek már a létrejöttét is megnehezítheti az erősebb alkupozícióval való élési szándék, létrejötte esetén pedig teljesítési problémákhoz vezethet. Az ún. teljes szerződés is nehezebben jöhet létre, hiszen a fokozottabb kockázati kitettség megnöveli a jövőbeni alternatívák számát. Az üzleti sikerek révén elért erős, illetve relatíve erősebb alkupozícióval való bizonyos mértékű élés a piacgazdaságok működésének fontos mozgatórugója, ugyanakkor ezt nem könnyű összeegyeztetni a tökéletes, illetve teljes szerződések iránti igényekkel.
Az új folyósítású lakáshitelek átárazási gyakorlatának vizsgálata
Authors: Hajnal Gábor , Lados Csaba
Published: September 2022

A magyar bankrendszerben általánosan megfigyelhető jelenség, hogy az újonnan folyósított, fix kamatozású lakáscélú hitelek kamatai jellemzően csak több hónapos késéssel árazódnak át az intézmények forrásköltségének megfeleltethető bankközi kamatok változását követően. Tanulmányunkban azt vizsgáljuk, hogy a bankközi kamatok megváltozása hány hónap alatt gyűrűzik be az éven túli kezdeti kamatperiódusú, újonnan folyósított lakáshitelek kamataiba. Kétlépéses elemzésünkben egyrészt a Minősített Fogyasztóbarát Lakáshitelekben (MFL) tapasztalható átárazási gyakorlatot vizsgáljuk leíró jelleggel, majd vektor-autoregresszív modell segítségével megbecsüljük a bankközi kamatok aggregált lakáshitelkamatokba történő begyűrűzésének sebességét. Az aggregált kamatstatisztikák felhasználásával végzett becslésünk alapján a bankközi kamatok változásai megközelítőleg négy hónap alatt épülnek be a hazai bankok által érvényesített jelzáloghitel-kamatokba, azonban az intézmények MFL-hirdetményeinek kamatkondíciós adatai alapján a bankok átárazási gyakorlata nem egységes, a forrásköltség változását követően eltérő sebességű és mértékű kamatváltoztatások figyelhetők meg.
Oda-vissza – hat fiskális epizód az elmúlt évtizedekből
Authors: P. Kiss Gábor
Published: September 2022

A nemzetközi irodalomból ismert, de jellemzően mégsem kezelt jelenség, hogy a fiskális politika elemzéséhez használt sztenderd mutatók félrevezető eredményekhez vezetnek. Egyrészt a kreatív könyvelés hatására torzulnak az alapstatisztikák, másrészt az adatok „bevétel” és „kiadás” csoportosítása is ugyanilyen torz eredményhez vezet, harmadrészt a ciklikusan igazított egyenleg széles körben használt mutatói szintén félrevezetőek. E torzítások hatásaival korrigált mutatók alapján hat fiskális epizódot határozunk meg Magyarországon 1995 és 2016 között. Az első epizód az 1995–96. évi kiigazítás. Ezután 1997 és 2001 között átalakult a kiadási szerkezet. 2002 és 2006 között olyan időszak azonosítható, ahol egy gyors és jelentős fiskális lazítást követően késlekedett a kiigazítás megkezdése. Ezt követően a konszolidáció érdekében többféle megközelítéssel is próbálkoztak: 2007 és 2009 között két lépcsőben, majd pedig 2010 és 2012 között. Végül 2013 és 2016 között ismét a kiadási szerkezet átalakítására került sor.
Mangroves as potential agents of Phytoremediation: A review
Authors: Mahadik Sanjay Saili , Ghosh Sourav , Banerjee Srimoyee
Published: September 2022

Anthropogenic activities over the last few decades have resulted in various types of pollution which if left untreated, can cause a lot of harm to humanity. The mangrove habitats which are unique due to their location and abilities are also not preserved from the pollution. Continuous exposure to various pollutants could harm and destroy these precious ecosystems. They are able to degrade a variety of pollutants like pesticides, Bisphenol A, various hydrocarbons and even can detoxify metals. This can be attributed to their ability of phytoremediation. By various mechanisms like phytoextraction, control of solute transport via salt glands and production of organic substances by roots, they have been able to achieve degradation of various sediment and aquatic pollutants. Genetic engineering of mangrove plant species to obtain better results should also be tried and should be more widely accepted. With their diverse activities, mangroves indeed are good potential agents for phytoremediation which can bring about a cleaner environment and a sustainable future.
Keratin as a sustainable biopolymer for waste water treatment
Authors: Liya Merin Stanly , Mridul Umesh
Published: September 2022

Keratin is one of the most abundant natural polymers with potential application in various fields but is usually seen discarded as waste generated from poultry farms along roadsides and landfills. These are indeed the cheapest source of keratin protein which could be used for various applications. Owing to the structural properties, keratinous materials are now being exploited in wastewater treatment systems as adsorbents. The rich amino acid content having hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino groups has been found to be beneficial in removing contaminants from waste waters like heavy metals and dyes. Research based on this idea has received peak attention to a point where formulations of different adsorbent materials like nanofibre, biofilms and biocomposite from keratinous raw materials are now available for commercial use. This review summarises the application of keratin as an efficient adsorbent for waste water treatment providing an insight into its structure, forms of keratin used for treatments and mechanism of adsorption of different components in waste water.
The maximal and current accuracy of rigorous protein-ligand binding free energy calculations

Published: September 2022

It is now well recognized that computational techniques can greatly speed up the identification of hits and accelerate the optimization of such hits to lead series and development candidate molecules. In particular, a class of rigorous physics-based methods known as free energy perturbation (FEP) have emerged as the most consistently accurate relative affinity prediction tool available to support such efforts. Yet, there still remains uncertainty about how accurate these techniques are, and indeed, how accurate they can ever be. In this study, we assemble what we believe to be the largest publicly available data set of proteins and congeneric series of small molecules to date and assess the accuracy of the leading FEP workflow in predicting relative binding affinities. To ascertain the limit of achievable accuracy, we survey the reproducibility of experimental relative affinity measurements by comparing chemical series that have been assayed by two or more different techniques. We find a wide variability in experimental accuracy and a general correspondence between binding and functional assays. When the protein and ligand structures from our data set are prepared with care, we find that FEP can achieve a level of accuracy close to what we find in our experimental survey. Throughout, we highlight reliable protocols that can help maximize the accuracy of FEP in prospective studies.
Accurate prediction of vertical ionization potentials and electron affinities from spin-component scaled CC2 and ADC(2) models
Authors: Shaalan Alag Ahmed , Jelenfi Dávid P. , Tajti Attila , Szalay Péter G.
Published: September 2022

The CC2 and ADC(2) wave function models and their spin-component scaled modifications are adopted for predicting vertical ionization potentials (VIPs) and electron affinities (VEAs). The ionic solutions are obtained as electronic excitations in the continuum orbital formalism, making possible the use of existing, widespread quantum chemistry codes with minimal modifications, in full consistency with the treatment of charge transfer excitations. The performance of different variants is evaluated via benchmark calculations on various sets from previous works, containing small and medium-sized systems, including the nucleobases. It is shown that with the spin-scaled approximate methods, in particular the scaled opposite-spin variant of the ADC(2) method the accuracy of EOM-CCSD is achievable at a fraction of the computational cost, also outperforming many common electron propagator approaches.
Multimodal Sarcasm Detection via Hybrid Classifier with Optimistic Logic
Authors: Bavkar Dnyaneshwar Madhukar , Kashyap Ramgopal , Khairnar Vaishali
Published: September 2022

This work aims to provide a novel multimodal sarcasm detection model that includes four stages: pre-processing, feature extraction, feature level fusion, and classification. The pre-processing uses multimodal data that includes text, video, and audio. Here, text is pre-processed using tokenization and stemming, video is pre-processed during the face detection phase, and audio is pre-processed using the filtering technique. During the feature extraction stage, such text features as TF-IDF, improved bag of visual words, n-gram, and emojis as well on the video features using improved SLBT, and constraint local model (CLM) are extraction. Similarly the audio features like MFCC, chroma, spectral features, and jitter are extracted. Then, the extracted features are transferred to the feature level fusion stage, wherein an improved multilevel canonical correlation analysis (CCA) fusion technique is performed. The classification is performer using a hybrid classifier (HC), e.g. bidirectional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) and LSTM. The outcomes of Bi-GRU and LSTM are averaged to obtain an effective output. To make the detection results more accurate, the weight of LSTM will be optimally tuned by the proposed opposition learning-based aquila optimization (OLAO) model. The MUStARD dataset is a multimodal video corpus used for automated sarcasm Discovery studies. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is proved based on various metrics.

Authors: Nandi Pampa , Roy Jibendu Sekhar
Published: September 2022

The flat-top radiation pattern is necessary to form an appropriate beam in a sectored cellular network and to pro vide users with best quality services. The flat-top pattern offers sufficient power and allows to minimize spillover of signal to adjacent sectors. The flat-top sector beam pattern is relied upon In sectored cellular networks, in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems and ensures a nearly constant gain in the desired cellular sector. This paper presents a comparison of such optimization techniques as real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), used in cellular networks in order to achieve optimum flat-top sector patterns. The individual parameters of flat-top sector beams, such as cellular coverage, ripples in the flat-top beam, spillover of radiation to the adjacent sectors and side lobe level (SLL) are investigated through optimization performed for 40◦ and 60◦ sectors. These parameters are used to compare the performance of the optimized RGA and PSO algorithms. Overall, PSO outperforms the RGA algorithm.

Authors: Wang Jianwei , Wang Xian
Published: September 2022

Cardiovascular diseases are diseases related to blood vessels, heart and surrounding tissues which affect one’s health and normal life. Cardiovascular diseases include heart disease, stroke, endocarditis, arrhythmia, and more. The main causes of cardiovascular diseases are drinking, smoking, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and so on. In addition, there also are environmental factors and dietary factors. At present, the most basic disease treatment methods are life intervention and clinical intervention. When the disease is severe, it needs to be treated by surgical intervention. The effect of hypertension on patients’ health is very significant, which is closely related to the incidence rate of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, this paper investigated and studied the development of hypertension and its impact on the risk of cardiovascular disease, and analyzed and summarized it in the form of review to provide references for clinical research.

Published: September 2022

Background: The private healthcare sector in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is active and growing, providing curative, preventive, and promotive services related to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH). Aims: To understand the contribution of formal for-profit private health-care sector in delivering RMNCAH services and explore best practices for improvement. Methods: Desk review of available literature from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iraq, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan, and Islamic Republic of Iran, followed by stakeholder interviews in Iraq, Pakistan, and Oman were carried out. Directed content analysis using Maxqda 2020 was performed, and information was triangulated according to a priori themes: governance, health information systems, financing, and service delivery related to RMNCAH. Results: Formal and informal public–private partnerships exist in RMNCAH but lack a strategic roadmap to guide collaboration. The private healthcare sector is minimally represented in the main policy stream at national and subnational levels due to resistance from the private and public sectors. They are weak in collecting, maintaining, and sharing health information. Data on abortion and postabortion complications are scarce. Various models of supply and demand financing (voucher schemes, private and social health insurance) related to antenatal care and contraception have been implemented in the EMR. Despite the higher cost of care in the private sector, limited training of providers, ill-defined service delivery packages, and lack of continuity-of-care and team-based approaches, the private sector remains the predominant sector providing RMNCAH services in the EMR. Conclusion: Partnering with the private sector has huge untapped potential that should be harnessed by national governments for expanding RMNCAH services and progressing towards Universal Health Coverage.

PALEOZOIC REEF FORMATION AND ITS CORRELATION TO THE BIOTA DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Kuznetsov Vitaly , Zhuravleva Liliya
Published: September 2022

The book deals with the development of reefs in the Paleozoic history of the Earth, and five cycles of active reef formation are identified, each of them ends with a biotic crisis and mass extinctions. It is shown that reef formation is completed before the extinction itself, when the reef-building biota itself still exists, but already outside the reef ecosystem. The suggestion is that a closed reef community disintegrates under changing external conditions before the extinction of the individual organisms composing it takes place.

The Role of Legislators and Budget Process in Nigeria
Authors: Eguavoen Imuetinyan , Ukarin Isaac , Avinyeze Peter Oghenebrozie
Published: September 2022

This study examined the role of the legislators and budget process in Nigeria. For the objective of the study to be achieved, the study embraces the library research which involves a review of extant literature and this forms the basis for drawing up the conclusion. Flowing from the review, the study shows that argument has been raised by several analysts that legislative oversight committees have found not to be very effective in stimulating Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) for budget outcomes attainment. The argument is that oversight activities are used by some legislative committees to intimidate rather than encouraging (MDAs) to perform at the optimum levels especially in the areas of budget implementation. The study therefore recommends that the legislators in the Nigeria budget process should ensure that the MDAs make proper use of the funds allocated to them efficiently and effectively with a view to preventing careless spending, diversion as well as the misappropriation of public funds. The oversight activities of the legislative committees should be used to encourage MDAs to perform at the optimum levels especially in the areas of budget implementation and not to intimidate.

However, at the first stages they were associated with developments in the military-strategic sphere. Gradually, they became widespread in medicine, which improved not only the diagnosis, but also the treatment processes. Methods of immersiveness are widely used in modern psychology. It turned out that immersiveness contributes to the effectiveness of journalism and education. Today thanks to immersiveness are common quests – games with the use of new techniques that have a large number of fans of this kind of leisure have become widespread. Immersiveness is a sign of modern culture.
MONTREUX SONRASI TÜRK- SOVYET İLİŞKİLERİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE İNÖNÜ-POTEMKİN GÖRÜŞMESİ (23 KASIM 1938)
Authors: SARIALİOĞLU İrşat
Published: September 2022

Bu makalede Sovyetler Birliği Dışişleri Halk Komiseri Yardımcısı Vladimir Petrovich Potemkin’in 23 Kasım 1938’de Cumhurbaşkanı İsmet İnönü’yle yaptığı görüşme, Montreux sonrası Türk Sovyet ilişkileri çerçevesinde değerlendirilmektedir. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün 21 Kasım 1938 tarihli cenaze töreni için Moskova tarafından, Sovyetler Birliği heyeti başkanı olarak görevlendirilen Potemkin, cenazenin ardından bir süre daha Türkiye’de kalmış ve bu süreçte İsmet İnönü’yle Dışişleri Bakanı Şükrü Saraçoğlu ve Sovyetler Birliği’nin Ankara Büyükelçisi Aleksey Terentyev’in katıldığı uzun bir görüşme yapmıştır. Türkiye’nin Almanya ve İngiltere’yle olan ilişkileri ve yeni bir karşılıklı yardım paktı meselesi gibi Montreux sonrası süreçte Türk Sovyet ilişkilerini meşgul eden konuların görüşüldüğü bu görüşme, uluslararası kamuoyu ve yabancı misyonlar nezdinde büyük bir merak konusu olmuş, hatta Atatürk sonrası Türk Sovyet ilişkilerinde eski yakınlığa dönüş olarak yorumlanmıştır. Çalışma içerisinde literatürde bahsi geçmekle birlikte içeriğine ilişkin bir bilgiye rastlanmayan 23 Kasım 1938 tarihli İnönü Potemkin görüşmesinin detayları Türk Diplomatik Arşivi, İngiltere Ulusal Arşivi ve İngilizce olarak yayınlanmış Alman ve Rus arşivi evrakı çerçevesinde ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, İnönü-Potemkin görüşmesini, Türk-Sovyet ilişkilerinde eski samimiyeti yeniden tesis eden bir diplomatik girişim olarak değerlendirmenin doğru olmadığı ve Atatürk’ün vefatının ardından ilişkilerde ani ve dramatik bir değişimin meydana gelmediği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Authors: ÇEKİÇ Ayşe
Published: September 2022

Haçlı seferleri Avrupa dünyasında siyasi, sosyal, ekonomik ve baskın dini gerekçelerle başlatılmıştır. Haçlı seferlerinin gerek Batı dünyasında gerekse de Doğu İslam dünyasında önemli sonuçları olmuştur. Bu makalede ele alınıp irdelenecek konular şunlardır: Haçlı seferleri esnasında bilhassa Avrupa muhayyilesinin İslam’a rağmen ve İslam’a karşı kendisini konumlandırdığı noktada daima düşmana ihtiyaç duyacak bir yerde olmaları nasıl anlaşılmalıdır. Haçlı ordularını harekete geçirici düşman “İslam/Müslüman” söylemi ve İslam peygamberi Hz. Muhammed’in algılanışı meselesi Haçlı seferlerinin neden? ve nasıl? tahrik edici sloganı yapılmıştır. Buradan hareketle, Hz. Muhammed ve İslam üzerinden oluşturulan algının ve bu algının oluşmasında Haçlı seferlerinin rolünün ne derece önemli olduğu makalenin üzerinde duracağı ana konudur.

Sonuç itibariyle ötekisi ve düşman olarak İslam ve Hz. Muhammed’in tasviri/tanımı Avrupa dünyasında sürdürülebilir bir düşman üreticiliğine yaramıştır. Bu algının Haçlı seferlerinin sürdürülmesi konusunda itici güç unsuru olma durumu ise makalede detaylıca işlenmiş, İslamofobia ile bağlantıları tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Differentiated Integration and the Bologna Process
Authors: Veiga Amélia , Magalhães António , Amaral Alberto
Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to discuss the contribution of the theory of differentiated integration to understanding Bologna as an instrument for building up the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), and to learn from that analysis what can be used to enrich the theory of differentiated integration. The analysis uses secondary data to grasp the national and the institutional appropriation of the Bologna process and to identify the dimensions that characterise the type of differentiated integration promoted by Bologna. The analysis underlines the role of national and institutional factors to understand how the EHEA, from its inception and its evolution, is a project of differentiated integration stemming from the translation of policy into action.
New Horizons in the Europe of Knowledge

Published: September 2022

This editorial introduces the notion of the Europe of Knowledge and places it in the European integration research agenda. We first describe what the concept means before suggesting how to approach the Europe of Knowledge as a new case for investigating European integration dynamics. This discussion revolves around the evolution of policy developments in research and higher education to show how knowledge policies are compound and manifest distinct dimensions of differentiated integration and experimentation, both fruitful theoretical research agendas. We then summarise the articles to show the respective Europe of Knowledge themes they highlight. We conclude by considering how the Europe of Knowledge in the making encourages testing established empirical and analytical assumptions about European integration and experimenting with emerging ideas about regional cooperation from around the world.

The rain season of 2019 in South Manokwari comes late indicating the longer dry period. This condition causes a reduction in the water resources availability resulting in a lack of ground water availability (KAT). Lack of ground water can be an obstacle in the cultivation of food crops, especially rice plants on rain-fed land. To evaluate KAT, a water balance model is used to calculate crop water needs and analyze surpluses and deficits. This study analyzes land and rice crop balance with Thornwaite and Mather models in South Manokwari Regency during 2019. Monthly rainfall data and class A pot evaporation were used to calculate Potential Evapotranspiration (ETP). Soil physical data including field capacity (KL) and permanent withering points (TLP) with fine soil texture are secondaryly obtained. The analysis was conducted for KAT, deficits and surpluses as well as the percentage of water available to plants (ATS). The results showed that agricultural land was still in optimal condition in January – August, while for rice plants was below the optimum KAT since August and reached TLP in October. The surplus only occurred in January – February and April – June with a peak in June of 157.8 mm (land) and 136.8 mm (rice). Groundwater decreased since July and continued to decline until December, marked by moderate to low ATS conditions. Groundwater deficit from August - December requires the supply of irrigation water for agriculture.

Jakarta and its surroundings areas that have high surface temperatures due to high total CO2 emissions. High CO2 emissions will cause surface temperatures to increase due to the phenomenon of greenhouse gases. An increase in temperature will also have an impact on increasing heat strs which will be dangerous if no steps are taken for prevention. The El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) factor is also considered influential in terms of the value of heat stress. Calculating heat stress in Jakarta and surrounding areas can be done by the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature Index (WBGT) method. Data was obtained from six station points in Jakarta and surrounding areas in 1993 – 2018 consisting of daily air temperature and humidity and using Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) data to determine the ENSO period. The results show that the highest WBGT were identified in four regions, Tanjung priok, Kemayoran, Cengkareng and South Tangerang with ISBB values ​​of 30 – 32.5 (the heat stress increases to dangerous levels), while for the other two, Curug and Dramaga Bogor have WBGT values at 28.5 – 30 (heat stress increases). The most dangerous WBGT category was in Tanjung priok in April during El – Niño with 71% (58) days were in the dangerous category, while the WBGT category had the least heat stress at Dramaga in August when it was neutral with 17.7% (66) days were in the no heat stress category. When El-Niño ISBB was higher than when it is neutral and La-Niña and has higher minimum and maximum extreme values than when it is neutral and La – Niña.

Published: September 2022

Implementasi Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) di Kota Surabaya dan sekitarnya saat pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan pembatasan berbagai aktivitas masyarakat dan moda transportasi yang sedikit berdampak pada kualitas udara khususnya emisi polutan PM10  ke atmosfer. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji perubahan konsentrasi PM10 pada periode sebelum dan saat PSBB diterapkan, yaitu 27 Maret - 27 April 2020 dan 28 Mei – 28 Mei 2020 berturut-turut. Data konsentrasi PM10 dalam waktu jam-jaman serta data curah hujan, arah dan kecepatan angin harian pada periode tersebut digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Analisa statistik deskriptif, distribusi frekuensi, variasi waktu (diurnal, harian dan mingguan) dilakukan untuk mengetahui ukuran sebaran data dan kondisi  konsentrasi PM10 pada waktu-waktu tersebut. Gambaran kondisi harian disajikan dalam bentuk kalender berdasarkan kategori Indeks Standar Pencemaran Udara (ISPU). Perubahan konsentrasi PM10 diuji dengan statistik U Mann Withney sebelum dan saat PSBB. Penelitian ini juga menganalisa dispersi dan dilusi polutan oleh variabel meteorologi (angin dan hujan) dengan plot windrose, PM10 polar plot, serta statistik korelasi dan regresi linier berganda. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan sebelum (~ 70 μg/m3) dan saat PSBB (~ 40 μg/m3) yang berarti konsentrasi PM10 menjadi berkurang atau kualitas udara membaik saat periode PSBB yang dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh faktor kecepatan angin (r=0.3).
Konut Sorununa Geçmişten Bir Bakış: Yerel Yönetimler ve Konut Sunumu
Authors: ERÇETİN Cihan
Published: September 2022

Kent hakkı kentin sosyal, mekansal ve ekonomik açıdan kentteki tüm bireyleri kentin tüm bileşenlerini kapsayacak şekilde içine alan sosyo-mekansal bir haktır. En önemli bileşenlerden biri olan barınma hakkı uluslararası belgeler ve anayasada da taahhüt edildiği üzere kapsayıcı şekilde ve koşulsuz olarak sağlanmalıdır. Kentsel spekülasyonlara da konu olan konut sunumu barınma hakkının çok aktörlü ve çok bileşenli bir aracıdır. Konut sunumundaki merkezileşme kimi zaman yerelin talep ve ihtiyaçlarından uzaklaşan sonuçlar ortaya çıkarabilmektedir. Diğer taraftan, halkın iradesini temsil eden ve yerel topluluğa en yakın idari birim olan yerel yönetimler ülkemizde bir dönem örneklerinde olduğu gibi konut sunumunda aktif rol almak yerine, günümüzde yalnızca konut sunumunu kolaylaştırıcı rol almaktadır. Konut konusunda yerel idarenin yetki ve sorumluluk alması ve buna yönelik konut sunum biçimlerinin var olması yerelde kamu yararının korunması ve geliştirilmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmada temel amaç; Türkiye’de konut sunumunda ortaya çıkan yerelliğin karakterine uygun olmayan konut sunumu, spekülasyona dayalı gelir dengesizliği gibi sorunların çözümünde yerel yönetimlerin konut politikalarına doğrudan katılımının yaratması muhtemel olumlu etkiyi göstermektir.

Published: September 2022

Tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 salgını nedeniyle ülkeler insanların yüz maskesi takmasını zorunlu hale getirdi. Çünkü maske takmak virüsün bulaşma riskini azaltmak için en etkili yöntemlerden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Ancak insanların maske takıp takmadığını manuel olarak kontrol etmek zordur. Bu çalışmada derin bir sinir ağı kullanılarak kalabalık ortamlarda her türlü yüz maskesini algılayan bir modelin geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Derin öğrenme algoritmalarından biri olan ve nesne tespiti için kullanılan Mask R-CNN, insanların maske durumlarını tespit etmek ve sınıflandırmak için kullanıldı. Önerilen derin öğrenme modeli, üç sınıf (maskeli, maskesiz, yanlış maske kullanımı) içeren 853 görüntüden oluşan bir veri seti kullanılarak k-kat çapraz doğrulama ile eğitildi ve test edildi. Omurga mimarisi olarak ResNet101 seçildi ve COCO modeli kullanılarak transfer öğrenmesi gerçekleştirildi. Önerilen Mask R-CNN modeli, %83'lük bir mAP, %90'lık bir mAR ve %86'lık bir F1 puanına ulaşmıştır. Bu sonuçlar önerilen modelin maske tespitinde başarılı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
