Beyond the Canon: Seeking Black Women Artists in K-12 Art Education Teaching Resources
Authors: Bailey Indira
Published: December 2023

Despite the plethora of textbooks and teaching resources to guide the instructor in transmitting knowledge and skills for classroom instruction and curriculum development, many K-12 art education resources feature White, Eurocentric artists. Black women K-12 art educators are challenged to locate resources that enhance students’ understanding and interest in racial and gender identities. This research critically explores the representation and availability of Black women artists in K-12 art education textbooks and teaching resources. The images and artists in art education textbooks are crucial and can affect students’ understanding of art and teachers' development of an inclusive curriculum. I, therefore, investigated, through a Black feminist perspective, the underrepresentation of Black women artists in art education teaching resources. Drawing on narrative inquiry, I interviewed Black women elementary and secondary art educators throughout the United States to reveal the availability of Black women artists for classroom instruction and curriculum development. As a result, the data collected highlights emergent themes and subthemes that describe patterns of Whiteness in art education. This research demonstrates the need to diversify K-12 art education textbooks and teaching resources beyond a few token Black women artists.
İngiliz Aristokrasisi ve Hıristiyan Siyonizmi: VII. Lord Shaftesbury Örneği
Authors: ALBAYRAK H. Şule
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışma 19. yüzyıl İngiliz Evanjelizminde kök salan siyonist fikirlerin politik sahada etkili bir argümana dönüşmesini dönemin sosyopolitik kamusunda yer alan önemli aristokratlarından Lord Shaftesbury’i merkeze alarak incelemektedir. Dindar bir Evanjelik Hıristiyan olan 7. Lord Shaftesbury Ashley Cooper’ın fikir, inanç, politik eylem ve etkilerinin dikkate alınmasının Hıristiyan siyonizminin İngiliz siyasetine verdiği şekli ortaya koymak açısından açıklayıcı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmamızın temel sorusu “19. yüzyıl İngiliz siyasetinde belirginleşen Hıristiyan siyonizminin kökeni nedir ve bu teopolitik ideolojinin güç kazanmasında dahli olan aktörlerden Lord Shaftesbury’nin rolü ve faaliyetleri nelerdir?” olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmayla dünya siyonizmi açısından bir dönüm noktası olarak değerlendirilen Balfour Deklarasyonuna giden yolda İngiliz teo-politik çerçevenin aydınlatılmasına katkı sunmak hedeflenmektedir. Çalışmamız Hıristiyan siyonizminin İngiliz politik çevrelerinde nasıl inşa edildiğini Lord Shaftesbury’nin hatıratından hareketle doküman incelemesini esas alarak tasvirî analizle ortaya koymaktadır.

BLACK SEA SALMON (Salmo labrax PALLAS, 1814) JOURNEY: FROM POND TO PLATE
Authors: BATIR Esin , ÇAKMAK Eyüp , ÖZEL Osman Tolga
Published: December 2023

Black Sea salmon is from the Salmonidae family and is an endemic species distributed in the Black Sea. These fish, which exhibit anadromous behavior, prefer parts of rivers close to their source for reproduction and the Black Sea for feeding. The first cultivation study of this species, which has high consumer preference and economic value, was started by SUMAE in 1998. As a result of 24 years of work, F7 generation broodstock was created. In order to popularize the production of the species, the private sector was supported with broodstock. In this study, the breeding process of Black Sea salmon was examined and the introduction of the species was aimed. Today, 25 private sector enterprises have production licenses and many enterprises carry out commercial production of the species in the form of trial production with 1603 tons in total. Commercial production is concentrated in the Eastern Black Sea Region, which is the natural distribution area of the species. While enterprises that produce portion size in ponds and have restaurants prefer the red-spotted stream ecotype in production, enterprises that produce large-sized fish in dam lakes and the sea prefer the marine ecotype, which reaches sexual maturity late and has a better growth performance than other ecotypes. Since Black Sea salmon is our only endemic trout species showing typical salmon characteristics, its adaptation to the natural environmental conditions of our country for sea net cage and freshwater aquaculture is quite good.

Authors: ATİK İlker , ATİK Azize , AKARCA Gökhan , DENİZKARA Ayşe Janseli
Published: December 2023

IIn this study, low-pressure treatment was applied to pike-perch and the changes in quality criteria during the storage process were examined. L*, a*, and b* values in samples treated with low pressure were significantly different compared to the control. It was observed that the process had an improving effect on the textural properties of the fish. While the aw value decreased to 0.822, the pH value decreased to 6.47. While TBARS values of the samples ranged between 0.014 and 0.031 mg MA / kg, TVB-N values ranged between 7.69 and 24.06 mg / 100 g. Total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, yeast/mold, total coliform group bacteria, and total aerobic psychrophilic bacteria counts of all samples exposed to low-pressure treatment were lower than the control during storage. As a result, the treatment positively affected the quality of pikeperch meat during the storage period.

Situated Competency
Authors: Seng Eunice
Published: December 2023

The etymology of competency (English), competenza (Italian), and competence (French) derives from the La-tin word competentia, which means “meeting together, in agreement and symmetry”. Competens, the present participle of the Latin verb competere, has been used to describe “sufficiency of qualification” since the eighteenth century. The Latin competere, from which competition also originates, is a compound of cum – “with, together”, and petere: “to strive, seek, fall upon, rush at, attack”. We may identify here the notions of making an effort together, achieving something with dedication, and having something that marks differeces from others. In contemporary usage, competence is the quality of being competent, while competition is the act of competing. Competency is thus contingent on the conditions of competition in general terms. Yet, the overlapping of meanings is not limited to Latin roots. Competency, in Chinese translation, encompasses the meanings of the words 权限 (quanxian, jurisdiction and limits of authority), 才干 (caigan, ability), 能力 (nengli, capability) and 埶 (yi, skillfulness and cleverness).
Competency Addiction
Authors: Li Shiqiao
Published: December 2023

We seem to be addicted to competencies; we train incessantly to improve existing ones and innovate to acquire new ones. Our curriculum vitae is packed with exquisite details of competencies in great variety. Competency is distinctly and deliberately formulated away from goodness, the long-standing moral quality that grounded virtue. Virtue is about the moral conditions of being, while competency is about an amoral effectiveness. When we say one is too clever for one’s own good, we speak of a paradox of addiction: pushing adrenaline and dopamine towards the levels of harm. Business corporations and educational institutions seem to have self-selected their prestige by aligning themselves with market value and research funding, seeing them as benchmarks of competency and success. Like substance addiction, competency addiction began with genuine excitement of innovation and benefit but developed into an all-consuming desire for techno-utopias oblivious of their damage to ecology. Perhaps it is time to ask: why did we switch from virtue to competency in the first place?
Fostering Tactical Skills
Authors: Hutama David
Published: December 2023

Assuring competencies in graduates from architecture school is a challenging task nowadays. The swift development of architectural-related technologies has staged an urgency for rethinking what the relevant competencies are. On the contrary, redefining competencies is unfavorable for architectural practices. Such circumstances put architectural education in an awkward position, especially as institutions are expected to produce future practicing architects; still, at the same time, graduates should be equipped with scholarly research tools. The former and the latter competencies are frequently incoherent. In this visual essay, I would like to argue that repositioning architectural education – in the form of what Michel de Certeau calls ‘tactics’ – is in line with the nature of design knowledge. In this way, students would have sufficient knowledge and skills to navigate the current situation and have no problem in the compliance with standardization.

DURATION OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS: HUMAN RIGHTS AND JURISDICTION ASPECTS
Authors: Bulgakova Ilona
Published: December 2023

Duration of criminal proceedings is one of the most important issues in the theory and practice of Latvian criminal proceedings. Unlike the limitation period for persons in pre-litigation proceedings, the Criminal Procedure Law does not contain such a time limit for proceedings. This raises the question of the possible improvement of the legal framework, from a jurisdictional point of view and from a human rights point of view.
The Article analyzes the standards of length of proceedings, their impact on the rights of the involved persons and legitimate interests’ realization, as well as the impact on jurisdiction. Methods used to create an Article: analytical sociological observation method, induction and literature analysis method.
The final conclusion is that in the course of the lengthy proceedings, there are risks to the parties right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time, the role of the prosecutor in preparing the case for trial, as well as the problem of the organisation of work in the courts of first instance. Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law and Law “On Judicial Power” are proposed.

In order to achieve it, the author analyzed the origins of the constitutional rights of the Republic of Latvia, described the history of composing the Constitution of the Republic of Latvia, including the essence and functioning of the Constitution until 1940. The main conclusion of the research is that during this historical period, the Constitution of the State of Latvia functioned continuously, independently of the fact that an authoritarian regime was established in 1934.
MASKED AND UNMASKED FACE RECOGNITION ON UNCONSTRAINED FACIAL IMAGES USING HAND-CRAFTED METHODS
Authors: TORBATI Ali , TOYGAR Önsen
Published: December 2023

In this study, the face recognition task is applied on masked and unmasked faces using hand-crafted methods. Due to COVID-19 and masks, facial identification from unconstrained images became a hot topic. To avoid COVID-19, most people use masks outside. In many cases, typical facial recognition technology is useless. The majority of contemporary advanced face recognition methods are based on deep learning, which primarily relies on a huge number of training examples, however, masked face recognition may be investigated using hand-crafted approaches at a lower computing cost than using deep learning systems. A low-cost system is intended to be constructed for recognizing masked faces and compares its performance to that of face recognition systems that do not use masks. The proposed method fuses hand-crafted methods using feature-level fusion strategy. This study compares the performance of masked and unmasked face recognition systems. The experiments are undertaken on two publicly accessible datasets for masked face recognition: Masked Labeled Faces in the Wild (MLFW) and Cross-Age Labeled Faces in the Wild (CALFW). The best accuracy is achieved as 94.8% on MLFW dataset. The rest of the results on different train and test sets from CALFW and MLFW datasets are encouraging compared to the state-of-the-art models.
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF NANOPARTICLE ADDITIVES ON THE REFRACTIVE INDEX AND DENSITY OF GASOLINE
Authors: GÖKMEN Mehmet Selman , PARLAK Mehmet Fatih , AYDOĞAN Hasan
Published: December 2023

In this study, the use of Al2O3 and TiO2 nano particles with a size of 12 nm and a purity of 99.9% as gasoline fuel additives was investigated. Fuel mixtures were prepared using a 3-level factorial design technique, and density and refractive index values were determined. Al2O3 nano particles, due to their high surface area, increased the density by 0.17% (3.5 ppm) and 1.22% (7 ppm), while TiO2 nano particles increased the density by 0.22% (3.5 ppm) and 1.26% (7 ppm). It was observed that the nano particle with a higher surface area had a less significant effect on density. The refractive index values decreased by 0.11% (3.5 ppm) and 0.14% (7 ppm) for Al2O3 nano particles, and by 0.21% (3.5 ppm) and 0.24% (7 ppm) for TiO2 nano particles. This study highlighted the importance of particle size, purity, and surface area in the selection of nano particles. Based on the evaluations and preliminary tests, nano particle levels above 15 ppm exhibited a tendency for agglomeration in the fuel. It is crucial to limit the total concentration to 15 ppm, especially for nano particles with a high surface area like Al2O3, to achieve homogeneous fuel.
EFFECTS OF COMPLETE AND PARTIAL CYLINDRICAL FIN CONFIGURATIONS ON THERMOHYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF A MINICHANNEL HEAT SINK
Authors: SARPER Buğra , TÜRK Döndü Nur , DAĞIDIR Kayhan , AYDIN Orhan
Published: December 2023

In this numerical investigation, the impacts of complete and partial cylindrical fin configurations on the thermohydraulic performance of a minichannel heatsink are studied. ANSYS Fluent software is used to conduct numerical analyses for four distinct mass flow rates ranging from 0.00265 kg/s to 0.0045 kg/s and three distinct fin positions. The effects of various configurations on velocity and temperature fields, average Nusselt number, Nusselt number ratio, friction coefficient, and performance evaluation coefficient are analyzed. According to the study’s findings, using partial cylindrical fins has a substantial impact on both heat transfer and pressure drop. When evaluating heat transfer, MCHS-R2a produces the greatest results, but this configuration greatly raises flow resistance. MCHS-R2c was found to have substantial potential when evaluated in terms of thermohydraulic performance.

Assessment of compression syndrome with increase in thyroid gland volume
Authors: Zhirnova A. S. , Abramzon O. M. , Lyashchenko S. N.
Published: December 2023

Objective. To determine the criteria for compression syndrome with an increase in the volume of the thyroid gland according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the soft tissues of the neck.

Materials and methods. Magnetic resonance tomograms of 62 patients with normal thyroid volume (thyroid gland) (group 1) and 89 patients with thyromegaly (group 2) were analyzed. At the same time, the width, height, antero-posterior size of the lobes and isthmus of the thyroid gland, displacement of the trachea, esophagus, carotid artery, jugular vein and the distance between some neck structures were measured. The results obtained were compared in the groups. The differentiating informativeness of each parameter was characterized by a Kullback measure.

Results. On the basis of MRI of the soft tissues of the neck, quantitative compression criteria, diagnostic coefficients and thresholds for the probability of compression in patients with thyroid pathology were determined. Summing up the diagnostic coefficients of each parameter, it was possible to identify a compression syndrome with a given probability. With the sum of diagnostic coefficients 61 and higher, compression of the neck organs is diagnosed with a probability of 95 %, with – minus 32 points or less, compression is absent with a probability of 95 %. The interval of the diagnostic coefficient from 29 to 61 corresponds to the presence of compression syndrome with a probability of 94 % to 55 %, respectively. With a diagnostic coefficient in the range from 25 to -32, the probability of compression of the neck organs is from 5 % to 45 %. Patients with the sums of diagnostic coefficients from 26 to 28 are in the zone of "diagnostic uncertainty" that implies dynamic observation.

Conclusions. The use of the proposed method for assessing the compression syndrome with an increase in the thyroid gland allows you to objectively identify its presence or absence.

Abstract
The use and analysis of numerous remote sensing images has proven to be essential in the observation of changes on the earth's surface. Due to the large volume of data and the complexity of the algorithms, the analysis of time series has been one of the problems with the greatest need for computational power in the field of geotechnology. Therefore, the general objective of this work was to analyze different studies that use GPUs (Graphic Processing Unit) to process remote sensing images to obtain better performance. For the elaboration of this work, it was necessary to consult scientific articles and books. The usefulness of GPUs in the main areas of remote sensing using satellite images (agriculture, biomes and change in land use and occupation) was better understood in this work with the presentation of knowledge about remote sensing, geotechnologies and processing units of computer hardware. This study also demonstrated that the use of GPUs emerges as a promising alternative in the present technological age and advances in future works aimed at understanding the structures of graphics processing cores with satellite images, and that represent a large amount of "Big Data" data in a smaller amount of time.

Authors: Dutta Sharbari , Mohapatra Abinash , Dutta Brahmananda
Published: December 2023

This study was performed to evaluate the different non-pharmacological behaviour modification techniques preferred by the parents, to know whether single or multiple behaviour modification techniques are required to regulate the behaviour of the child and to assess the effectiveness of non-pharmacological behaviour modification techniques in the operating procedure.

30 children aged between 4-7 years who required pulp therapy treatment to be done under local anaesthesia were enrolled for the study with parental consent. A video containing different behaviour management techniques was shown to the parents who had accompanied the child to the operatory. A questionnaire was given to the parents for their feedback, the response to each question was coded and the values of each code were analyzed statistically. The parents’ preferred technique was applied to their children before the planned treatment.

Nonpharmacological behaviour modification techniques were effective in 90% of the children and it was found to be highly significant (p ≤ 0.05). It was seen that 66.67% of the children required more than one nonpharmacological behaviour modification technique to make them behave positively. The most preferred technique by the parents in this study was Positive Reinforcement (30%).

This study brings forth that nonpharmacological behaviour management techniques can be successfully used to regulate most of the children in a paediatric clinic setup.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Various reports have documented the psychological issues that affect the elderly. According to estimates, approximately 20% of the geriatric population experiences at least one psychological symptom or disorder. The aim of this study is to establish the frequency of psychological symptoms in the elderly population in İstanbul, Turkey.
 
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 350 participants aged 65 and over, between 01.02.2019 and 19.07.2019. The psychiatric symptoms of the participants were evaluated with the Symptom Check List-90 Revised (SCL-90-R) test.
 
Results: Psychological symptoms are present in 32.9% of the elderly population. The prevalence of depressive symptoms is 32.9% and the rate of obsessions is 26.6%. Somatization is present in 13.4% of cases, while interpersonal sensitivity is observed in 8.9% of cases. The paranoid symptom rate is 10.6%. While 6.9% of the participants have possible anger disorder symptoms, the rate of participants with anxiety symptoms is 6.6%. The rate of participants with probable phobic symptoms is 5.4%, and the rate of those with psychotic symptoms is 4.0%.
 
Conclusion: Psychiatric problems encountered in old age negatively affect the quality of life. Because the most common psychological symptoms were depression, obsession, and somatization, family physicians should conduct screenings for possible mental problems in elderly individuals registered with them, regardless of the reason.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to present histological profile of both benign breast tumors (BBT) and breast cancer (BC) in our setting and highlight age trends in the occurrence of BBT.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the surgical oncology unit of the Dalal Jamm University Hospital from January to July 2023. Dalal Jamm University Hospital is a teaching hospital based in Dakar, Senegal.
Results: The median age was 45 years for BC and 31.5 years for BBT. The main histological types of BC were invasive ductal carcinoma (93.2%) and invasive lobular carcinoma (4.5%) whereas it was fibroadenoma (66.6%) for BBT. Fibroadenoma and benign phyllodes tumor was more common in adolescents and under 40 years (p = 0.046) old while fibrocystic changes were more prevalent during perimenopause (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Invasive ductal carcinoma and fibroadenoma are the most common breast tumors in sub-Saharan African setting. Fibroadenoma and benign phyllodes tumor are more prevalent in adolescents and under 40 years while fibrocystic changes occur most within the fourth and fifth decades of life.
Nauczanie zdalne w opinii młodzieży akademickiej
Authors: Jastrzębska Joanna
Published: December 2023

Celem przedstawionego w artykule fragmentu wyników badań własnych było poznanie opinii studentów wybranych specjalności kierunku pedagogika Wydziału Nauk o Wychowaniu Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego na temat edukacji zdalnej oraz stwierdzenie ewentualnych różnic pomiędzy badanymi studiującymi edukację wczesnoszkolną a kulturę fizyczną i zdrowotną. Do przeprowadzenia badań wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego oraz technikę ankiety. Specjalnie w tym celu skonstruowany kwestionariusz ankiety wypełniło 127 studentów, w tym 96 kobiet i 31 mężczyzn, 61 studiujących na specjalności kultury fizycznej i zdrowotnej oraz 66 studentek pedagogiki wieku dziecięcego. Wyniki badań poddano analizie statystycznej oceniając istotność statystyczną różnic z wykorzystaniem testu chi-kwadrat. Wyniki badań wskazują, że ponad połowa ankietowanych ma negatywny stosunek do edukacji na odległość, w tym więcej studentów kultury fizycznej i zdrowotnej niż studentek pedagogiki wczesnoszkolnej. Według studentów system ten ogranicza kontakt z rówieśnikami i prowadzącymi, nie zachęca do dalszej pracy oraz nie jest w stanie wyjaśnić nurtujących problemów. Głównymi zaletami e-learningu okazały się: ekonomika, oszczędność czasu oraz możliwość nauki w dowolnym miejscu i czasie.
Rodzice wobec problemu wad postawy ciała i aktywności fizycznej dzieci z klas I–III szkoły podstawowej
Authors: Makarczuk Anna
Published: December 2023

Celem badań była próba oceny poziomu wiedzy i świadomości rodziców dzieci z początkowych klas szkoły podstawowej na temat zaburzeń statyki ciała oraz aktywności fizycznej. Badania przeprowadzono w latach 2017–2019 na terenie Łodzi. Poddano im rodziców dzieci z pięciu szkół podstawowych, reprezentujących pięć dzielnic miasta. Zastosowano w nich metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. Łącznie uzyskano 521 prawidłowo wypełnionych kwestionariuszy ankiety. Badani rodzice tylko w ok. ⅓ liczby wszystkich przypadków odpowiadali prawidłowo na pytania dotyczące charakterystyki wad postawy i ich diagnozy. Jednakże w większości mają świadomość znaczenia aktywności fizycznej dla prawidłowego rozwoju dziecka oraz dbają o korygowanie postawy ciała na co dzień.
