The Relationship between Political Ideology and Social Media Echo Chambers
Authors: Smith Namazzi Smith Namazzi
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The general purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between political ideology and social media echo chambers.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to political ideology and social media echo chambers. Preliminary empirical review revealed that echo chambers exist on social media platforms, with individuals predominantly exposed to information aligning with their political beliefs. Social Identity Theory and Selective Exposure Theory were instrumental in understanding how users' political affiliations influenced their interactions online, reinforcing echo chambers. These echo chambers, driven by users' desire for ingroup solidarity and selective exposure to like-minded content, posed challenges to democratic discourse and societal cohesion. The study emphasized the importance of addressing these challenges by promoting media literacy, critical thinking, and exposure to diverse viewpoints on social media platforms to foster a more inclusive and deliberative public sphere.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Identity theory, Selective Exposure theory and Dual Process theory may be used to anchor future studies on the relationship between political ideology and social media echo chambers. The study provided valuable recommendations that contributed to advancing theoretical understanding, informing practical interventions, and shaping policy responses to the challenges posed by echo chambers in contemporary political discourse. It emphasized the integration of social identity theory and selective exposure theory into theoretical frameworks, highlighting the psychological mechanisms driving the formation of echo chambers. Practically, the study underscored the importance of promoting media literacy and critical thinking skills among social media users, while suggesting that social media platforms play a pivotal role in shaping users' information environments. On the policy front, it emphasized the need for evidence-based interventions aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of echo chambers on democratic governance and societal cohesion.

The usage of internet as well as online platforms is booming day by day. Understanding the public opinions can be beneficial for business and political entities in making strategic de- cisions. In light of this, sentiment analysis plays an important role to understand the polarity of the public opinions. Today, this ocean of data can be used for the fruitful purposes. Analysis of sentiment textual posts can supply knowledge and information that can be used in citizen opin- ion polling, business intelligence, social contexts, and Internet of Things (IOT)-mood triggered devices.
The main focus is the sentiment analysis based on Emotional Recognition (ER). We are going to implement the model for the prediction of sentiment on the basis of general words length words and emoji over any online platform. We are also going to compare the traditional concept related to sentiment analysis. Using the sentiment analysis we can try to control some illegal activities that are post on online platforms such as Movies Reviews Social media etc.
In this model we divide the process in the six phases, first is Data overview, second is Data preprocessing third is Feature Engineering fourth is Model selection, fifth is Model Evaluation and last is Model Deployment We can try to take result in two class those are positive and negative or Good and Bad Sentiment. We can try to make two columns first one for data sample and second for the result. Therefore, the above process conclude that the accuracy of the sentiment analysis will be increases by using the length words and emoji from the data.
İÇ HASTALIKLARI YOĞUN BAKIM ÜNİTESİNDE TAKİP EDİLEN GERİATRİK HASTALARDA SERUM ÜRİK ASİT DÜZEYİ İLE ERKEN DÖNEM MORTALİTE ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ
Authors: Mutluay Rüya
Published: March 2024

Giriş: Günümüzde yaşam süresinin uzaması ve artan komorbid hastalıklar nedeniyle özellikle yaşlı hastaların yoğun bakım takip oranları oldukça yüksektir. Yoğun bakım pratiğinde farklı skorlama sistemleri kullanılarak hastaların mortaliteleri tahmin edilmeye çalışılmakta; mortaliteyi öngördürebilecek basit ve ucuz parametrelerin arayışı devam etmektedir. Ürik asit güncel pratikte kullanılan oksidan ve antioksidan durumu gösterebilen bir belirteçtir; çalışmamızda yoğun bakımda yatan geriatrik yaş grubunda diğer hastalarımızda kullandığımız APACHE II skorlama sisteminin mortalite öngördürücülüğünü, hiperüriseminin erken dönem mortalitesi için prediktivitesini araştırmayı planladık.
Yöntemler: Çalışma tıp fakültesi İç hastalıkları yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan 65 yaş ve üzeri hastalar dahil edilmek suretiyle retrospektif olarak yapılmıştır. Toplamda 579 hasta değerlendirilmiş olup tüm olguların yoğun bakıma yatışındaki klinik ve laboratuvar parametreleri baz alınmıştır; yatışından itibaren ilk 28 günde ölen vakalar erken dönemde mortalitenin söz konusu olduğu vakalar olarak tanımlanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 579 hastanın % 50.4’ü kadınlardan oluşuyordu ve tüm hastaların yaş ortalaması 76.82±7,81 yıl idi. Olguların % 49.4 ‘ünde değişik evrelerde akut böbrek hasarı mevcuttu. Akut böbrek hasarı olan olgular olmayanlara göre daha yaşlı idi; ürik asit düzeyleri daha yüksek; serum albümin seviyeleri ise daha düşüktü. APACHE II skoru yüksek olan olguların erken dönemde kaybedilme oranının daha fazla olduğunu gözlemledik. Tüm olgular içerisinde ilk 28 günde kaybedilenler değerlendirildiğinde bu olguların ürik asit düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu ve yine daha hipoalbuminemik oldukları dikkati çekiyordu. Septik ve hipoalbüminemik olguların erken dönem mortalitesinin daha fazla olduğunu saptadık.
Sonuç: APACHE II skorlama sistemi tıpkı diğer hastalarda olduğu gibi yaşlı hastalarda da mortaliteyi predikte etmektedir. Hiperürisemi diğer yaş gruplarında olduğu gibi geriatrik yoğun bakım hastaları için de önemli prognostik değer taşımaktadır. Ancak özellikle komorbiditesi oldukça yüksek olan ve renal rezerv azlığının dikkati çektiği bu grup hasta için serum albümininin de önemi büyüktür. Geriatrik yoğun bakım hastaları için serum albümin düzeyi ilk 28 günlük mortalitenin ön görülmesinde kullanılabilir basit ve ucuz bir parametre olarak görülmektedir.

Pendidikan jasmani merupakan komponen penting dari pendidikan umum karena mendorong pertumbuhan individu melalui latihan fisik dan gerakan alamiah manusia. Pendidikan jasmani adalah serangkaian pengalaman belajar yang terencana dan terstruktur untuk memenuhi kebutuhan perkembangan dan perilaku setiap anak dan remaja. Pendidikan jasmani merupakan proses interaksi antara siswa dengan lingkungannya yang ditangani melalui latihan jasmani yang terorganisir dalam rangka mewujudkan manusia seutuhnya yang meliputi unsur fisik, psikomotorik, kognitif, dan emosional. Faktanya, banyak orang tua yang tidak mampu memaksimalkan potensi anaknya, sehingga hanya cukup merawat fisik dan memberikan jumlah makanan yang dibutuhkan, namun kurang memberikan stimulasi olahraga. Bersikap realistis, menerima diri sendiri dan orang lain apa adanya, cepat beradaptasi, mampu mengatasi masalah secara objektif, tidak bergantung pada orang lain, berempati, memiliki rasa humor, kreatif, dan menghargai kesulitan adalah ciri-ciri kematangan emosi.

A DESCRIPTIVE INVESTIGATION ON ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS IN FINANCIAL SYSTEM FOR SMALL INVESTORS IN ALBANIA
Authors:   University of Tirana, Albania, Bezo (Balili) Lorena
Published: March 2024

This study seeks to investigate possible investment alternatives by small investors in Albania. The analysis is mainly descriptive and analytical of the main factors that have influenced the existence of a limited number of investment alternatives. Furthermore, a comparison was made of the shares that each of the investment alternatives occupies within the financial system, interpreting the data in the study qualitatively. The descriptive data are from the last 5 years, reflecting the dynamics of current post-Covid pandemic event and the war in Ukraine. It is concluded that the spread of mutual investment funds serves as a competitive alternative to bank deposits since this form of investment requires a small amount for investment and is liquid, therefore preferable for the investor. The only limitation lies in the level of risk, which is higher than other forms of investment in bank deposits and government securities. This risk is perceived to be even higher, especially in the current situation of the war in Ukraine, which has led to increased global inflation and an upward trend in interest rates, which puts the value of investment portfolios in fixed income securities at risk.

Published: March 2024

At the present stage, the process of “environmental migration” is marked by high intensity and is manifested in the escalation of cases of internal movements over external ones. The dynamics of this phenomenon are of particular importance for regions most susceptible to climate change, which is associated with several socio-economic problems. Such regions include Central Asia, due to the impact of negative environmental factors and a combination of socio-economic difficulties. The article examines the status of “environmental migrant” and the criteria for identifying migrants of this category in the Central Asian region. To achieve this goal, the developed approaches to the definitions of “environmental migration” and “environmental migrant” in the Central Asian region are analyzed. The authors determined the presence of similar natural and anthropogenic factors that caused the movement of people. In conclusion, the study offers recommendations for adjusting the criteria for identifying an environmental migrant at the regional level based on the manifestations of permanent and sudden natural disasters that are identical to Central Asia.
Post-Bipolar World Order: Character, Challenges, and Opportunities for Kazakhstan
Authors:   Kenzhegali Sagadiyev University of International Business, Fedorova Anastassiya
Published: March 2024

The paper studies the post-bipolar world order. It focuses on the key international-political events, which occurred in 1991-2021 to emphasize the changes in the character of the post-bipolar world order. The article compares different theoretical assumptions on the nature of the world order to figure out the most adequate theoretical platform for analysis. The paper uses structural political realism as the most appropriate theoretical instrument. The paper discusses the place of Kazakhstan in the post-bipolar world order and its main moves to be incorporated in it. The study suggests that the post-bipolar world order has passed through series of transformations during 1991-2021. Moreover, Kazakhstan being not a great power, participated in the global relationship, promoted its national interests rather successfully, used positive angles of the post-bipolar order and eschewed serious problems.

Purpose: To present a clinical case of metaplastic squamous cell sarcomatoid breast carcinoma – a rare entity within the spectrum of breast cancer, comprising up to 1% of all cases. Material/Methods: We report the clinical course of a 68-year-old woman who sought medical attention regarding a locally advanced breast cancer characterized by exophytic growth. Results: Despite initial systemic treatment, the tumor displayed rapid progression and extensive ulceration with spontaneous bleeding, prompting additional cycles of systemic and radiotherapy. Subsequently, the patient experienced life-threatening acute breast bleeding and hemorrhagic shock, leading to an admission to the Intensive care unit, followed by an emergent modified radical mastectomy. Histological examination of the specimen revealed a high-grade sarcomatoid variant of squamous cell metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBCa) without lymph node (LN) metastasis. Adjuvant radiation therapy was performed, yet a local recurrence was diagnosed, necessitating a second surgical intervention. Despite also receiving adjuvant systemic therapy, the patient presented with a second recurrence with distant metastases in the lungs. A transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) of the tumor-supplying artery was performed, aiming to impede the tumor vasculature, thus reducing the risk of recurrent life-threatening hemorrhage. However, only a short-term effect was observed, and the patient experienced an unfavorable outcome. Conclusions: This case underscores the challenges in managing advanced MBCa, its aggressive clinical course, and the struggles of achieving a favorable prognosis.
Droplets skating on gas nanofilms: merging, wetting, bouncing & levitation
Authors: Sprittles James
Published: March 2024

Recent advances in experimental techniques have enabled remarkable discoveries and insight into how the dynamics of thin gas/vapour films can profoundly influence the behaviour of liquid droplets: drops impacting solids can “skate on a film of air”, so that they can “bounce off walls”; reductions in ambient gas pressure can suppress splashing and initiate the merging of colliding droplets; and evaporating droplets can levitate on their own vapour film (the Leidenfrost effect). Despite these advances, the precise physical mechanisms governing these phenomena remains a topic of debate.   In this talk, I will overview our development of efficient computational models for the aforementioned droplet dynamics in the presence of gas nanofilms into which gas-kinetic, van der Waals and/or evaporative effects can be easily incorporated in order to address these open problems and stimulate new directions of research.
The Role of Speculative Demand in Housing Price Changes in Turkey
Authors: Siklar Ilyas
Published: March 2024

Housing accounts for the largest portion of households' total assets in Turkey. It is an economic sector that requires careful analysis, especially considering the government's housing sector support policies and the significant price increases in recent years. This study utilizes the theoretical model developed within the Efficient Markets Hypothesis framework and the SVAR methodology to estimate house price changes. These changes are then decomposed into structural shocks, including supply, residential demand, and speculative demand shocks. The empirical results highlight the significant role of speculative demand in driving house price changes, with house price expectations being the main factor influencing speculative demand shocks. The behavior of the banking sector and interest rates also play a significant role in this process. Consequently, policies to stabilize house prices should consider these factors and not solely focus on credit regulations when consumer expectations are the driving force behind house price changes.

: El presente estudio aborda la importancia y el impacto de la formación en cuidados paliativos entre los profesionales de la salud, destacando la necesidad de integrar y mejorar esta educación desde las etapas iniciales de la formación médica hasta la práctica profesional continua. A través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura, basada en la metodología PICO, se evaluaron diversos estudios internacionales para comprender cómo la formación en cuidados paliativos afecta la percepción, el conocimiento y las habilidades clínicas de los profesionales de la salud en el cuidado de pacientes con enfermedades terminales. Los resultados indican que la formación en cuidados paliativos no solo mejora los conocimientos específicos y las competencias clínicas de los profesionales, sino que también transforma su percepción sobre la atención holística, la comunicación efectiva y la empatía hacia los pacientes y sus familias. Sin embargo, se identificaron desafíos significativos, incluyendo la falta de consistencia en la formación con respecto a pregrado, la necesidad de educación continúa especializada y la importancia de abordar áreas específicas de incertidumbre y falta de confianza entre los profesionales. En conclusión, el estudio subraya la importancia crítica de una formación en cuidados paliativos coherente, integral y continuada, que no solo se enfoque en aspectos técnicos, sino también en el desarrollo de habilidades de comunicación y empatía. La expansión del reconocimiento de los cuidados paliativos más allá del ámbito oncológico demanda una educación adaptada a un espectro más amplio de enfermedades, garantizando así una atención de calidad y dignidad al final de la vida

The Aral Sea is a unique body of water and is an unstable ecological zone. The soils of the Aral Sea are an example of arid salt accumulation, where a specific type of solonchaks with a unique microflora are formed. The study of the microflora of waters and bottom sediments of the Aral Sea is currently receiving much attention, but there are no reports of the existence of luminescent microflora in this water area. Luminescent bacteria mainly inhabit the waters of seas and oceans, but not salt lakes and fresh water bodies. Here, for the first time, we report the discovery of luminescent microflora in the Aral Sea, which is a body of water with a complex hydrochemical nature separated from the ocean, which is characterized by strong fluctuations in temperature and salinity. The presence of at least two species of luminescent bacteria belonging to the genus Vibrio inhabiting the waters of the North Aral Sea has been shown. Considering the significant changes in temperature and salinity of the Aral water, apparently, these species can occupy different ecological niches that arise with changing seasons, water flow, etc. Isolated strains of luminescent bacteria can in the future be used for bioluminescent analysis of integral toxicity. It is assumed that the microflora, which is accustomed to the current environmental conditions, may be more sensitive to changes in the particular biotope.

Арал теңізі-бірегей су айдыны, тұрақсыз экологиялық аймақ. Арал теңізінің топырағы құрғақ тұзды жинақтаудың мысалы болып табылады, онда бірегей микрофлорасы бар сортаңдардың белгілі бір түрі қалыптасады. Арал теңізінің сулары мен түбі шөгінділерінің микрофлорасын зерттеуге қазіргі уақытта көп көңіл бөлінуде, бірақ бұл акваторияда люминесцентті микрофлораның бар екендігі туралы мәліметтер жоқ. Люминесцентті бактериялар тұзды көлдер мен тұщы су қоймаларында емес, негізінен теңіздер мен мұхиттарда тіршілік етеді. Бұл мақалада алғаш рет температура мен тұздылықтың қатты ауытқуымен сипатталатын, күрделі гидрохимиялық табиғаты бар, мұхиттан бөлінген су қоймасы болып табылатын Арал теңізінде люминесцентті микрофлораның табылуы туралы хабарлаймыз. Мұнда, Кіші Аралдың акваториясын мекендейтін люминесцентті бактериялардың Vibrio тұқымдасына жататын кем дегенде екі түрінің болуы көрсетілген. Аралдың суының температурасы мен тұздылығының айтарлықтай өзгеруін ескере отырып, бұл түрлер жыл мезгілдеріне, су тасқынына және т.б. өзгерістер кезінде пайда болатын әртүрлі экологиялық нишаларға байланысты болуы мүмкін. Болашақта люминесцентті бактериялардың оқшауланған штамдары интегралды уыттылықтың биолюминесценттік талдауы үшін пайдаланылуы мүмкін. Қоршаған ортаның қазіргі жағдайларына үйренген микрофлора белгілі бір биотоптағы өзгерістерге сезімтал болуы мүмкін деп болжанады.

The present study was conducted to isolate active Bacillus cultures from developed oil reservoirs as potential objects for the development of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) methods. Oil formation water from two oil fields "Zhetybai" and "Kulsary" located in Western Kazakhstan were used as study materials. 8 cultures of Bacillus genus were isolated and identified on the basis of phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene. The formation of acetic acid and biosurfactants were studied as target properties valuable for MEOR. It was revealed that the investigated microorganisms are able to synthesize acetic acid as well as fatty acids. Emulsifying activity was determined as an indicator of the presence of biosurfactants. The maximum emulsification index was observed in strains of Bacillus sp. ZhM-3 and Bacillus sp. KM-2 for crude oil - 80% and 65%, for hexane - 69% and 50%, respectively. As a result of this work it was shown that the cultures of Bacillus sp. ZhM-3 and Bacillus sp. KM-2 are active producers of organic acids (acetic and butyric acids) and biosurfactants capable of emulsifying crude oil, which makes them potentially effective for application in biotechnological processes aimed at enhancing oil recovery from depleted fields.

Настоящее исследование проведено с целью выделения из разработанных нефтепластов активных культур рода Bacillus, как потенциальных объектов для разработки микробиологических методов увеличения нефтеотдачи (Microbial enhanced oil recovery – MEOR). В качестве материалов исследования использована нефтепластовая вода двух нефтяных месторождений "Жетыбай" и "Кульсары", расположенных в Западном Казахстане. Выделены и идентифицированы на основе филогенетического анализа гена 16S рРНК 8 культур рода Bacillus. В качестве целевых ценных свойств для MEOR проводили изучение продукции органических кислот и биосурфактантов. Выявлено, что исследуемые микроорганизмы способны синтезировать уксусную и масляную кислоты. В качестве показателя наличия биосурфактантов определяли индекс эмульгирования сырой нефти и гексана. Максимальный индекс эмульгирования отмечен у культур Bacillus sp. ZhM-3 и Bacillus sp. KM-2 для сырой нефти – 80% и 65%, для гексана - 69% и 50%, соответственно. В результате проведенной работы показано, что культуры Bacillus sp. ZhM-3 и Bacillus sp. KM-2 являются активными продуцентами органических кислот (уксусной и масляной) и биосурфактантов, способных к эмульгированию сырой нефти, что делает их потенциально эффективными для применения в биотехнологических процессах, направленных на повышение нефтеотдачи выработанных месторождений.

Abstract: Intelligent manufacturing is facing significant challenges in adapting to the ever-changing equipment, instrumentation, process and economics. Such a trend together with the pressure to reliably control and contain production costs means that frequent adjusting decisions are required to adapt to incessant volatility imposed on manufacturing systems. Under this circumstance, cost-effective and quality-guaranteed manufacturing strategies would be the most logical route to reducing production costs. In this paper, a novel dynamical cost prediction and control (CPC) model is proposed to support collective decision-making in intelligent manufacturing, where the model output is the real-time prediction of possible manufacturing costs, while the inputs are generic manufacturing key performance indicators covering inventory, product quality, production efficiency, resource utilisation and environmental impact. This proposed CPC model distinguishes itself from existing ones for its capability to translate manufacturing data (at both the physical level and operation management level) into financial metrics that contribute to forming a common language between engineering, financial and administrative departments of an enterprise. The case study about the assembly line of optoelectronic devices demonstrates that, although different enterprise departments have different priorities, our CPC model helps them to achieve certain consensus on intended production that finally creates satisfactory profitability for the company at controlled manufacturing costs.
