Authors: ÇİÇEN Yıldırım Beyazıt
Published: August 2023

The relationship between the level of corruption and the quality of Turkey's institutional structure was investigated in this study. Using quarterly data between 1984-2015, RALS-ADF unit root and RALS-EG cointegration tests were used to determine if there is a relationship between these variables in Turkey. Corruption level is the dependent variable, institutional quality is the independent variable, and the total production index is the control variable. The first analysis included both the coalition and single-party periods. Also, a separate analysis was carried out for the coalition period 1984-2002. There was no correlation between corruption and institutional quality in either analysis.

Published: August 2023

Five experimental alloys Ti-9Nb-8Zr-xTa-2Ag (x = 0, 5, 10, 15) were obtained and analyzed in the as-cast condition. The microstructure, corrosion behavior and surface free energy on the samples polished and corroded in artificial saliva were investigated. The microstructure is comprised of a mixture of α and β phase and the proportion of β phase increases with tantalum content increase. At 10 % Ta a drastic change in the microstructure was observed that severely altered the corrosion behavior, as the corrosion rate increased significantly beyond this point. The alloys are hydrophilic and corrosion tends to increase the surface free energy of the alloy with 15 % Ta that was mostly affected by the corrosion. The tantalum content increase affects directly the microstructure and indirectly the corrosion and surface wetting properties of the experimental alloys.

Tantalum content increase affects directly the microstructure and indirectly the corrosion and surface wetting properties of the experimental alloys.
English Lecturers’ Perceptions and Practices of Culture Teaching Activities at University Contexts
Authors: ÖZBAKIR Funda , ZAMBAK Ayse
Published: August 2023

This study aims to find out what English lecturers think about the goals of foreign language teaching, what they think about teaching culture in the context of English language teaching, and how often particular culture-teaching activities are used in English courses. The study was conducted with the participation of 50 lecturers working in 4 state universities in Turkiye, namely Osmaniye Korkut Ata University, Çukurova University, Adana Science and Technology University and Mersin University. A version of the questionnaire developed by Sercu (2005) and adapted by Kılıç (2013) was used as a data collection tool and the findings were analyzed with SPSS. The study's findings revealed that while participants are generally aware of the importance of integrating culture in the foreign language classroom and have a positive attitude toward it, teaching culture and equipping students with intercultural competence was not one of the teachers' primary goals. Instead, it has been recognised that one of the most important goals is to acquire language knowledge and linguistic abilities to utilise English effectively. Lecturers' primary goal in teaching culture is to provide knowledge of the target culture's everyday lives and routines while also demonstrating a good attitude and openness to other people and cultures. Some recommendations for further study can be made based on the findings. Teachers should attend in-service teacher training workshops or seminars focused on culture teaching in ELT to help them understand the relevance of culture in ELT and the components that should be incorporated in English language classrooms.

Published: August 2023

This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of cyberbullying in Indonesia targeted group of people and its legal impact based on pragmatics analysis. It mainly focused on issues that are related with ethnicity, religion, race, and intergroup on social media activities. The lingual data are the expressions by defendants on social media. They were collected from the copies of six court verdicts for such cases that have been settled between 2018 and 2020. The study employed a qualitative method with a forensic linguistic approach as a framework to reveal, trace, and show the phenomenon of cyberbullying on social media and the legal impact caused by the action. The results show that cyberbullying on social media in Indonesia not only targets individuals but it also targets certain group of people. Based on the pragmatics analysis, the illocutionary speech acts by defendants includes expressive, directive, assertive, and commissive. The utterances of cyberbullying aim to insult, humiliate, harass, slander, threaten/warn, accuse, and spread hatred on certain groups of community based on Ethnicity, Religious, Racial, and Primordial issues. The legal implication of cyberbullying is that the defendants can be charged based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia, Article 28 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 45A paragraph (2) Law Number 19 of 2016 on Information and Electronic Transactions.
Genre–Linguistic Analysis of Errata Texts in Arabic
Authors: AlShoubaki Kifah J. , Alqudah Mahmoud A.
Published: August 2023

News accuracy has been a significant issue for media organizations. However, Arabic errata texts have been neglected in academic research. The purpose of the present study is to identify the generic structural components of errata published in three different types of Arabic texts. We attempt to analyse the generic structure of these texts and determine the linguistic signals used to indicate these components. The paper also sheds light on the different kinds of errors found in Arabic texts and the functions they communicate to readers. For this, we collected and analysed 120 errata from Arabic daily newspapers, academic journals, and popular magazines. For our data analysis, we drew on the genre analysis framework pioneered by Swales (1990) and further adapted by other researchers such as Al-Ali (2005). We additionally referred to Bugeja and Peterson (2007) for classifying the types of errors. The study results show that the analysed Arabic errata texts followed a generic structure comprising eight component moves. Further, objective errors were found to be more frequent than subjective errors in Arabic newspapers and academic journals. We hope that similar future studies further the current understanding of genre identification and construction, especially in Arabic errata texts.

Authors: Mateos-Moreno Daniel , De la Ossa Martínez Marco Antonio
Published: August 2023

En España, la implantación de la reciente ley educativa, Ley Orgánica 3/2020, de 29 de noviembre (en adelante, LOMLOE), presta una gran importancia al modelo competencial. En el presente artículo conceptual nos aproximamos a este modelo desde una perspectiva teórica y legislativa, con el propósito de avanzar en la comprensión de la competencia artística en el ámbito educativo español. En primer lugar, realizamos una síntesis de diversas teorías, tesis y conceptualizaciones efectuadas por teóricos desde diferentes disciplinas en el siglo XXI respecto al término competencia. De la misma manera, atendemos a los sinónimos que, en ocasiones, se le asocian, y entre los que destacan habilidad y capacidad; y a la idoneidad de este empleo. A continuación, y en base a la perspectiva teórica adquirida respecto al concepto de competencia, analizamos la competencia en relación al arte, competencia clave 8, presente en la LOMLOE y denominada ‘Conciencia y expresión culturales’. Entre los resultados del presente trabajo, destacamos la asociación de competencia o competencia artística a conceptos muy diversos, incluyendo transversalidad, respuesta creativa, criticalidad, transferencia a otros contextos, o, incluso, honestidad. Igualmente, contribuimos a la comprensión de competencia artística en la práctica legislativa y a su contextualización en la realidad educativa española.
Migrants' Housing: Bridging Human Rights and Sustainable Development Goals for Inclusive Communities in Malaysia
Authors: Sohaimi Nor Suzylah , Ramli Rosfaraliza Azura
Published: August 2023

The United Nations issued the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in 1966. Both recognise the right to an acceptable living standard, which includes appropriate housing. Characteristics of sufficient housing include affordability, habitability, accessibility, location, cultural appropriateness, and access to resources such as services, materials, utilities, and infrastructure. However, housing and migrant settlement challenges have persisted in Malaysia due to a shortage of living space, poor government policies, and societal humiliation. This forces many migrants to live in crowded and unsafe conditions. Surprisingly, compared to other integration initiatives, little attention has been given to the housing component of the integration of regular migrants. This complacency and fragility affect both natives and migrants. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, provide important guiding concepts that support the right to an acceptable standard of life, which includes adequate housing.

This paper considers the problem of increasing the software efficiency in terms of reducing the costs of their development and operation in the process of solving production and research tasks. We have analysed the existing approaches to solving this problem by example of parameterized algorithms for implementing mVm (matrix—vector multiplication) and MMM (matrix—matrix multiplication)) BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines) operations. To achieve the goal of increasing the software efficiency, we proposed a new design method, designed to improve data caching algorithms in the software development for computing systems with a hierarchical memory structure. Using the proposed design procedure, we developed an analytical approach to evaluating the software effectiveness from the point of view of using a memory subsystem with a hierarchical structure is implemented. We applied the proposed method to the two-sided Householder transformation for the task of reducing the general form matrix to the Hessenberg form. Then we presented new algorithms for solving the problem, which are optimized variants of the Householder classical transformation: Row-Oriented Householder and Single-Pass Householder. The use of these algorithms can significantly reduce the software execution time. Computational experiments were carried out on a parallel computing system with shared memory, which is one of the nodes of the computing cluster of the Volgograd State Technical University. We made a comparison of the software execution time that reduce general-form matrices to Hessenberg form, written using the proposed algorithms and using the LAPACKE_dgehrd() function of the Intel MKL library. The conclusions made in the work are confirmed by the results of the conducted computational experiments.

The paper is devoted to the study of optimal algorithms for virtual integration of university knowledge bases in the field of computer science and programming with external data sources in Russian and English. Data from external sources can be presented in RDF, OWL, XML, HTML, JSON, CSV formats, in the form of relational, graph databases, or not structured at all. The proposed algorithms will provide a methodological and technological basis for creating problem-oriented knowledge bases as artificial intelligence systems, as well as prerequisites for the development of semantic technologies for acquiring new knowledge on the Internet without direct human participation. Testing of the studied machine learning algorithms is carried out by the method of sliding control (cross-validation) on specialized text corpora. The novelty of the presented study is due to the application of the Paretos optimality principle for multicriteria evaluation and ranking of the studied algorithms in the absence of a priori information about the comparative significance of the criteria. The project is implemented in accordance with semantic web standards. The architecture of the semantic web portal and usage examples are given. The proposed software solutions are based on cloud computing using DBaaS and PaaS service models to ensure scalability of data warehouses and network services. The created software is publicly available and can be freely used.

Authors:   Private Higher Education Institution “University of Modern Knowledge”, Kuzmichov Oleksiy
Published: August 2023

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to justify the need to adopt a specialized law “On Food Security of Ukraine” and define its concept. Methodology. The research methodology consists of: comparative, system-structural, formallogical methods. Their use made it possible to: analyze and determine the current state of regulatory regulation of public administration in the field of ensuring food safety in Ukraine, to investigate the regulation of the specified relations in individual EU member countries (Germany, Austria, Spain), to form a holistic view of the concept of the future law on food safety of Ukraine. Results. The first section of the article defines the current state of regulatory regulation of public relations regarding public administration in the field of food security of Ukraine. It has been established that such normative regulation is not effective, because there is no basic law of Ukraine, which could be the basis for the implementation of the corresponding function of public administration. The second part of the article is devoted to the research of regulatory regulation of public relations in relation to public administration in the field of ensuring food security in certain member states of the European Union, and in particular in: Germany, Austria and Spain. It has been clarified that the central goal of ensuring food safety in these countries and in the European Union as a whole is to ensure the safety of food products for consumers. In addition, it was found that at the level of national legislation in various EU countries there is a basic law or a set of laws that regulate public administration in this area. The third section of the article is devoted to the formation of the concept of the future law on food security of Ukraine. It was emphasized that this law should clearly define the competence and powers of public administration subjects in this area, establish a mechanism for guaranteeing the physical and economic availability of food products for everyone, and lay a legal basis for the interaction of public administration and civil society institutions in the field of ensuring food security of Ukraine. Conclusions. In the conclusions to the article, it is stated that the new law on food security of Ukraine must clearly define the system of permanent goals and objectives of the public administration in the field of ensuring food security of Ukraine, delimit the powers and competence of the subjects of the public administration within this functional direction of their activity, define the mechanism guaranteeing everyone physical and economic availability of food and essential goods, laying the legal basis for the interaction of public administration and civil society institutions in this area.
THE LEGAL ESSENCE OF THE ELECTRONIC EVIDENCE IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE: A BRIEF COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS
Authors:   National Academy of Internal Affairs, Budkevych Vitalii
Published: August 2023

The purpose of the scientific paper is to explore the foreign and national historical preconditions and the logic of the development of the sub-institute of electronic evidence, with a primary focus on the administrative proceeding in Ukraine, based on the documented factual data of different periods. Considering the theoretical nature of the present research, the main research methods used in the course of its preparation are as follows: combination of historical and logical, systematic method, methods of comparison, description, generalization, synthesis and induction, convergence from general to local. As a result of the research the main trends of the development of the sub-institute of electronic evidence in the administrative proceeding during different historical periods were studied, with a special emphasis on the foreign pre-history of the emergence and the development of the legal provisions related to electronic evidence. Key findings (conclusions) of the study are briefly summarized below. The legal provisions on electronic evidence have been subject to numerous amendments beginning from the 1970th, when they were firstly implemented in the procedural legislation in United States of America. Considering the fact that the matter of periodization is always an open question, in the author’s view the historical development of the regulation regarding electronic evidence may be divided into four main periods: 1) From the 1970th to the early 1990th (this period is related to the emergence of the first national cases of specific legislation, forensic practices and scientific researches); 2) From the 1970th to the early 2000th (when the transformation of the approaches to the understanding of the electronic evidence’s essence happened, and the issue on the autonomous role of electronic evidence within the system of evidence was raised); 3) From 2000 to 2010 (this period is associated with the active development of the legislation and the legal practice on the electronic evidence); 4) From 2010 till nowadays ( this is the present stage of the legal provisions on the electronic evidence’s development, when a special definition and procedural rules for electronic evidence were implemented into the national procedural codes, including the Code of the Administrative Procedure of Ukraine).
Reflections and Some Questions about Assessing the Maximum Possible Earthquake in the Long-Exploited Groningen Gas Field
Authors: Vlek Charles
Published: August 2023

This article is inspired by an official expert reassessment (September 2022), for the next several decades, of the maximum possible earthquake magnitude, Mmax, induced by sixty years of extraction from the rich Groningen gas field in the Netherlands. Basic considerations, advisory inputs, and the assessment of Mmax are briefly reviewed. Comments and questions are given on the range and weights of possible Mmax values, and on probabilities, “weights”, as expert degrees of belief. It is argued that plausible shifts in conditional beliefs (e.g., 100% rather than 90% induced) might have led to a lower future maximum-magnitude range (3.5≤Mmax≤5.5, with average 4.2) than the reported 4.0≤Mmax≤6.5 with weighted-average 4.6. As a possible event, Mmax should have a nonzero probability that (seismo) logically should go down as Mmax goes up. Given that Mmax weights assigned are based on expert beliefs, are assessors willing to bet—substantially—on the outcome of an Mmax the probability of which is being estimated? For the Groningen field, the assumption of a stationary seismic source and Mmax may be disputed. Instead, it is proposed that an eventually observable Mmax must be related to total-cumulative extraction since 1963. Hence, after Groningen gas extraction has ended in October 2023, Mmax will rapidly decrease. Unfortunately missing is a sensitivity analysis to seize the practical meaning of an (decreasing) Mmax distribution, for example, for ground motions, seismic risk (including residents’ anxiety), and possible building reinforcement. Such implications bolster the requirement that seismic hazard assessment be thoroughly designed, well understood, and clearly communicated.

Published: August 2023

Over the past few decades, due to the extensive implementation of cancer screening programs, up-to-date early diagnostic methods, and effective combinations of antitumor therapy, it has become possible to significantly improve survival of cancer patients. At the same time, despite the effective treatment of malignancies, most patient face adverse and often life-threatening effects of specific treatment on the heart and blood vessels. All this resulted in active development of a new field in cardiology, cardio-oncology. In recent years, based on the experience of leading experts, data from large studies, and meta-analyses, both international and Russian Consensuses, conciliation documents, have been formed and published. These documents regulate principal methodological approaches to management and control of the cardiovascular conditions in cancer patients. Finally, 2022 was marked by issuing the first official European Guidelines on Cardio-Oncology in the history of medicine. This article highlights the most relevant, in our opinion, positions of these guidelines as well as controversial and unresolved issues.

Among cardio-surgical patients, the prevalence of iron deficiency conditions reaches 70 %, and anemia is detected in less than 50% cases. Meanwhile, both anemia and latent iron deficiency are risk factors for adverse outcomes in cardio-surgical patients. These conditions are associated with a high frequency and greater volume of blood transfusions as well as with a longer stay in the hospital. Timely diagnosis and correction of iron deficiency, regardless of the presence of anemia, are mandatory at the stage of preoperative preparation. The use of oral iron medicines is limited by their low efficacy in this category of patients and a high risk of adverse events. Intravenous iron medicines have a high potential for correcting iron deficiency, and their efficacy and safety have been previously demonstrated. Administration of ferric carboxymaltose has proved beneficial in studies on iron deficiency correction in cardiological and cardio-surgical patients. In these patients, ferric carboxymaltose improved the dynamics of ferritin and hemoglobin, reduced the risk of blood transfusion, and decreased the duration of stay in the hospital. Preoperative intravenous administration of ferric carboxymaltose to cardio-surgical patients can improve clinical outcomes and the cost effectiveness of cardiac surgery.

Background: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is mainly used for the treatment of malaria but during COVID trial, it was used against coronavirus though no history of the drug is known against SARS COV 2 or any other respiratory ailment. Many case studies showed the adverse effects on liver and kidney in many patients after the exposure of HCQ. The main aim of this study is to know the effect of HCQ drug on the liver and kidney of male albino rat at a range of human equivalent dose that was given during COVID period.
Methods: After institutional animal ethics committee (IAEC) approval, ten male albino rats were obtained and divided into two groups-control and treated. Treated groups receives HCQ through oral gavage for six days and then serum, tissue enzymes and total serum bilirubin were measured. Histopathological study was done from liver and kidney tissue. After that statistical analysis was done.
Results: We found significant increase in enzymes glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the HCQ-treated rats than in control and this signifies that there might be damages that occurred in liver and kidney. Increased level of bilirubin in HCQ-treated rats indicate hyperbilirubinemia and may be a sign of jaundice or any other hepatic disorder. From histopathological identification we also found liver and kidney tissues got damaged due to exposure of HCQ.
Conclusions: From this study, we can conclude that the exposure of this drug might have led to the impaired function of organs that could have potentiated their ill fate.
The Disparities in the Treatment of African American Women in the Southern Black Baptist Church
Authors: Haywood Demora
Published: August 2023

Although the backbone of the African American community, the Black Church still engages in discriminatory practices against women. The Black Church was born to help African Americans survive in a world that discriminated against them, and yet it discriminates against its own Black women. This study focuses on the disparities in the treatment of African American women and men in the Southern Black Baptist Church. Based on ethnographic interviews of women who actively hold leadership roles in prominent Southern Black Baptist Churches, I highlight the magnitude of the problem Black women face, and show that the continued discrimination is resulting in many women leaving the Black Church. The Black Church will continue to be the backbone of the African American community, but until the Black Church faces its own issues of gender discrimination, it will not advance.
Merely Rearranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic?
Authors: Backues Lindy
Published: August 2023

Our present situation finds us navigating a ship while avoiding at least three treacherous and menacing icebergs. The first is the global environmental crisis we face.  By itself, this iceberg threatens to sink our ship, yet we seem blissfully to voyage along, either completely unaware of the dangers it poses or in complete denial that anything so menacing could possibly be lurking just over the rail of our ship.  The second iceberg is the global pandemic all of us recently experienced.  It is no exaggeration to say that this crisis prompted every government on earth to put its economy into a “coma”.  No one had a way out, nor did we have any idea how long the problem would last, and experts now tell us this will not be our last pandemic.  The third iceberg is the spate of violence and state-sanctioned murders that have been directed toward persons of color, especially toward young black men.  Prejudicial, inequitable arrangements found in state configurations across the globe seem to be baked into our world economic order and—alongside the other two icebergs—these threaten to sink our ship unless we come up with social and economic solutions rather quickly.
            Our present financial and economic order—our ship—seems ill-equipped to navigate these waters.  In this article, I take a rather detailed look at the educational as well as the financial makeup of our ship.  It seems that our vessel needs a radical rebuild, a deep-grammar remodification that requires a rethink of our views on education and of the outsized role high finance plays on our world stage today.  We are in desperate need of a deeply probing realignment, changes helpfully suggested by way of looking at these crises through an “ESG Impact Investing” lens.  ESG approaches offer us deeply insightful environmental, socio-spiritual, and governance/power critiques, provided all three of these factors are deeply appraised and sincerely and holistically considered.

Published: August 2023

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is recognized as a critical priority because of its epidemic nature. Successful diabetes treatment is not yet established and nowadays, diabetes is considered a global problem. Recent medications have not proved to be complete treating agents because, until now no one had completely cured diabetes. Current antidiabetic drugs have many undesirable side effects. So, an alternative therapy is required. Nowadays, various plant species are used worldwide as hypoglycemic, antihyperglycemic, antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic agents. A number of plants contain active metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, carotenoids, terpenoids, etc., which are extensively used in antidiabetic drugs. About 400 plant species have been reported as having hypoglycemic activity. From these medicinal plants and their active components, various herbal drugs are being formed. This review aims to understand different plant species used to date for treating diabetes, the therapeutic potential of fenugreek, the active compounds isolated from fenugreek, the chemical structure of trigonelline, therapeutic uses of trigonelline as an antidiabetic agent. Research papers, manuscripts and review papers were searched and relevant contents were studied. One hundred sixty-three papers were included in this review. The review resulted in a better understanding of the use of trigonelline in diabetes treatment.
Sexual Biology and Mating Behaviour in Decapod Crustaceans: A Case Study with Coral Reef Dwelling Caridean Shrimps
Authors: Subramoniam Thanumalaya
Published: August 2023

Crustaceans have diversified sexual systems, incorporating various reproductive modalities such as gonochorism and a wide variety of hermaphroditism. In particular, the coral reef- dwelling caridean shrimps, living in symbiosis with other marine invertebrates, have developed unusual sexual systems that have given origin to a range of social systems, including the highly advanced eusociality. Protandric hermaphroditism, common among the caridean shrimps, has also reached a unique sexual condition, known as protandric simultaneous hermaphroditism, in the genus, Lysmata. Similarly, mating systems in the caridean shrimps are highly diverse and divergent. In addition, their occurrence in the coral reef shrimps is correlated to their life style adaptations such as their commensal association with other invertebrates. Other ecological factors like the predation risk from outside of the host animals and differences in the host characteristics may also be the driving forces in determining mating associations. Furthermore, the transition from sexual monogamy to social monogamy under conditions of their symbiotic life led to complex community living in several synalpheid shrimps. Understandably, the existence of various sexual and mating systems in these caridean shrimps has a dependence on the eco- social conditions prevalent in the coral reef biota.
