Published: November 2021

In the process of air transportation, a large amount of information exchange plays an important role in the timely management of aircraft flights. The work of any airline and airport consists of many processes that involve a big number of participants. One of these issues is timely aircraft refueling. The use of the blockchain technology makes it possible to process an airline request for aircraft refueling in a timely manner, make payment and exchange of accounting documents between the airline and the refueling complex. The paper gives the main definitions for the elements of the smart contracts and their interrelationships based on the blockchain technology when performing accounting operations and payment transactions for aircraft refueling. The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the smart contract technology application in the aircraft refueling system, in particular, the exchange of accounting and payment documentation between the airline, the refueling complexes of civil aviation airports and banks. The aim of the research work is to study the application of the blockchain technology in the aircraft refueling operations. Based on the analysis it is necessary to develop a scheme for the use of the smart contract technology when aircraft refueling, which allows the parties concerned to reduce the volume of accounting and payment operations and increase the operating efficiency of the objects and subjects of the refueling process. The paper presents the chain of information passing and blockchain transformation varying from the execution of refueling operations to the execution of banking operations, payment for jet fuel and related services for aircraft refueling. Special attention is paid to the role and location of aircraft refueling facilities as a key element of the module for automatic reconciliation of accounting and payment documents in the formation of a smart contract. Based on the analysis of the blockchain technology application, a scheme of interaction among an airline, a refueling complex and a bank is proposed. The application of the proposed scheme allows the airline to pay for refueling at the time of refueling without time-consuming accounting operations and prepayment for jet fuel, thereby reducing the accounting time.

Published: October 2021

In Vietnam, banana peels have been discarded as waste which is a potential source of raw
material for food and other bioprocessing industries. Drying the peel offers opportunities
for value addition into novel products, thus reducing waste from the fruit processing
operations. This study presented the mathematical models of the thin-layer drying
behaviour of banana peels using three air temperatures (60oC, 70oC and 80oC). The effect
of drying temperature on the reduction of moisture content and drying rate of the banana
peel was evaluated. A total of eight commonly drying models were used for choosing the
best fitness model for describing the oven drying process. The effective moisture
diffusivity and activation energy were calculated using Fick’s diffusion equation. The
obtained results showed that increasing drying temperature accelerate the drying process,
as well as, increasing drying rate and effective diffusivity. The goodness of fit tests base
on the criterion indicated that the Page model gave the best fit to experimental results. The
effective diffusivity varied from 2.29×10-8
– 3.25×10-8 m
2
/s. Effective diffusivity was
satisfactorily by an Arrhenius relationship with activation energy within the 60-80°C
temperature range. The obtained activation energy was 16.98 kJ/mol with a high
coefficient of determination (R2
= 0.903).

Published: November 2021

Background: Dental erosion, an irreversible loss of dental hard tissue by a chemical process without the involvement of bacteria can be caused by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The consumption of foods with a low pH can cause a drop in the pH of the oral cavity below critical pH and its persistence can lead to a potential damage to teeth. As acidic beverages are likely to be a major factor in the etiology of dental erosion, it is important to determine the erosive potential of commonly consumed fruit-based beverages among children and educate the parents of their detrimental effects on teeth. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the pH and titratable acidity of the commonly consumed fruit-based beverages. Methodology: Three commonly consumed flavours (Orange, Apple, Mixed fruit) of fruit-based beverages (Group 1 - fresh fruit juice; Group 2 - packed fruit juice; Group 3 - packed fruit drink) were analyzed for pH and titratable acidity. The pH was determined using digital pH meter and the titratable acidity was measured by adding 1M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in increments of 0.2 ml to 100 ml of the freshly prepared/ opened fruit-based beverages until the pH reached 5.5 and 7. The pH reading was measured after each increment (0.2 ml) of NaOH, until a stable pH was achieved. All the measurements were repeated in triplicates. Results: The pH of all drinks investigated in the present study ranged between 3.29 - 4.43. On comparison of the titratable acidity, packed fruit drink (Group 3) exhibited highest titratable acidity, followed by packed fruit juices (Group 2) and fresh fruit juices (Group 1). Conclusion: All the fruit-based beverages in the present study exhibited an acidic pH, which was well below the critical pH of 5.5, thereby exhibiting an erosive potential.

Definitional Skills of Learners with and without Developmental Language Disorder
Authors: Dosi Ifigeneia , Gavriilidou Zoe , Dourou Chrysoula
Published: October 2021

Definitions exhibit aspects of mental lexicon organization. Learners with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) have limited vocabulary knowledge (in breadth and depth) and, thus, less mature definitional skills. Word characteristics affect the definitional skills. This study investigated the definitional skills of learners with and without DLD considering different word characteristics. Moreover, issues like deviant vs. delayed abilities and the link between breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge are addressed. Thirty-six learners were divided into three groups (a DLD and two control groups [CG] of typically developing learners matched on either age or vocabulary). They were asked to define 16 words. Answers were scored for content and form. Findings revealed that the DLD group scored lower than both CGs in content, while no differences were found in form. Definitions of abstract and compound words were more demanding for all. Correlations between vocabulary and definitional skills were detected only in the age-matched CG. From the above, we deduce that DLD learners’ definitional skills are deviant. In addition, clinical practice should not look at effects of isolated variables, but rather investigate the interrelation of different parameters. Finally, the link between breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge may require more time to emerge in DLD learners.

Published: October 2021

Digital games are one of the potential pedagogical approaches within STEM teaching and learning. The main idea behind using digital games in STEM contexts is to enhance the children’s conceptual understanding and to increase their interest in STEM. The interest in STEM is still an unsolved global issue. Most studies looking into digital games show there to be positive implications when it comes to STEM learning. This gap and the uncorrelated scenario from both the theoretical and practical perspectives need to both be solved. Here we conceptualise the usefulness of STEM digital games for stimulating an interest in STEM, particularly among children from a design perspective. The previous studies are the main qualitative sources for the interpretation of the main argument in this paper. As result, digital games have a strong empirically supportive foundational basis that acts as a medium to stimulate interest. To achieve this, STEM digital games should be designed to be of better quality. Good STEM digital games will contribute to better STEM learning outcomes and meaningful gaming experiences that can contribute to the interest in STEM. This study proposes a comprehensive framework to understand the purpose of the design and development of STEM digital games.

Archive Card Index vs. Transkribus: machine recognition of handwritten text
Authors: Tyshchenko Oksana
Published: November 2021

The subject of the research is machine recognition of handwritten materials of the Archival Card Index (ACI) — lexical and phraseological materials of the dictionary commission of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, in particular, card index of the “Russian-Ukrainian dictionary” 1924–1933 ed. A. Krymsky and S. Yefremov. The study of the ACI should be considered in the context of cultural and national revival in Ukraine in the 20th — early 21st centuries. The relevance and value of the ACI became a prerequisite for the transfer of its materials to the digital format. In 2018 the Institute of Ukrainian Language of the NAS of Ukraine created a computer system “Archival Card Index”, which accessibles materials primarily in the form of scanned images. The problem that needs urgent resolution is the transfer of handwriting to a typewriter format. The complexity of manual recognition, which requires considerable effort and time, encourages the study and application of Transkribus resource capabilities, which involves the use of the machine teaching. The Aim of the study is to clarify by analyzing, systematizing, classifying and describing the material features of the preparation of ACI cards for machine processing of texts. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time, the issue of providing the HTR engine with ACI training data (loading to the platform, segmenting images into lines and text areas, transcribing content each page).

The main result is finding out the content of the preparatory stage, the tasks of which are to eliminate the flaws of automatic segmentation: non-text elements, non-substantial text elements, incorrect automatic detection of text region or line. The prospects of lexicographic toloka (crowdsourcing) in the process of card recognition are outlined, for which it is envisaged to use collective access to the collection of transcribed documents in Transkribus. To recognize the cards manually and for the future check and adjustment of automatically recognized ones, you can join the new project “All-Ukrainian Toloka: Archival Card Index” — online platform on the website “ACI”.

Published: November 2021

Vehicles are a common sight on the road. Tracking and monitoring suspicious vehicles for identification due to high similarity in structure and form leads to difficulties in differentiating between them. The unique identity of a vehicle, the license plate is used here for this purpose. License plate detection is considered as an object detection task. Transfer learning on pre-trained state of art object detection models is an approach, which can perform this with better accuracy in terms of mean average precision. However, setting the right hyper-parameters needs multiple experiments. In this research, an evolutionary algorithm, genetic algorithm is used, which can optimize the hyper-parameters to achieve the best accuracy for the object detection model, YOLOv5. Further, the license plate was identified using OCR. This study concluded that hyper-parameter tuning achieved high accuracy in terms of mean average precision, achieving 98.25%, compared to 80% in initial parameter set providing an automated optimization. This license plate detected can be stored in a secure location and retrieved for re-identification. A decentralized storage or a secure cloud can be used to store the license plate. The application of this is most relevant to surveillance in high security locations where suspicious vehicles must be tracked.

Mihrap, cami mimarisinde önemli mimari öğelerden biridir. Mihrabın kullanımında amaç aynı olmakla birlikte devirlere, bölgelere göre malzeme, teknik, form ve süsleme bakımından farklılıklar göstermektedir. Anadolu Selçuklu, Beylikler ve Osmanlı’nın erken ve klasik dönem mihraplarında form ve süsleme bakımından geleneksel öğeler ağırlıklı olup, bu dönem mihraplarında alçı, çini mozaik, taş ve mermer malzemelerin kullanıldığı görülmektedir. 18. yüzyıldan sonra ise mihrapların biçim ve süslemelerinde batılı sanat akımlarının etkileri görülmeye başlamış, Türk sanatı motifleri ile batı sanatı motiflerinin birlikte denendiği süsleme programları ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu bezeme üslubu, Osmanlı Geç Dönemi’nde ve sonrasında, Konya çevresindeki tarihi camilerin ahşap mihraplarında kullanılır hale gelmiştir. Bu ahşap mihraplar, yapıldıkları dönemin sanat anlayışını, kültürel değerlerini yansıtan özgün özelliklere sahip mihraplardır. Bu çalışmada, Konya ilçelerinde bulunan, Beylikler ve Osmanlı dönemlerine ait yedi adet tarihi camide bulunan ahşap mihraplar, form, boyut, mihrap nişi plan şeması, malzeme, süsleme ve yapım tekniği bakımından değerlendirilmiş ve tipoloji çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu araştırma ile Konya’nın bazı ilçelerindeki camilerin ahşap mihraplarındaki sanat üslubu ortaya konulmuş, projelendirme ve uygulama çalışmalarındaki dönem karşılaştırmalarına katkı sağlanması ve belgeleme çalışması olarak kaynak oluşturması hedeflenmiştir. Mihrapların tespiti ve belgelenmesi, literatür ve arşiv taraması çalışmada kullanılan başlıca metotlardır.

Promoting Social Justice through Storytelling in Museums
Authors: Huhn Arianna , Anderson Annika
Published: November 2021

In 2018 the Anthropology Museum at California State University San Bernardino (USA) opened an exhibition entitled In|Dignity. The collaborative endeavour combined social science techniques, documentary photography, and theatre performances to present first person narratives of 43 community members. Participants represented marginalized demographics and intersectional identities that extended far beyond standardized approaches to ‘diversity’. Their stories provided an intimate look into experiences of discrimination, microaggressions, harassment, exclusion, and other affronts to self-worth and barriers to community belonging. This article argues that connecting individuals through telling and listening to stories is a valid strategy to promote social justice. In|Dignity provides one case study of a museum using the narrative form and the processes of exhibition development to disrupt power hierarchies, uplift community concerns, and promote human dignity.
A pastoral como eixo integrador da formação presbiteral
Authors: Rito Honório
Published: November 2021

Uma das características mais claras do último Concílio é sem dúvida sua índole pastoral. Como se pode ver da bula de indicção do Concílio, a preocupação dominante do Papa que o convocou é o desejo de encontrar caminhos de evangelização do mundo de hoje. É uma preocupação essencialmente pastoral. De fato a característica e o enfoque pastoral marcam profundamente o conjunto dos documentos conciliares. Ao refletir sobre si mesma, a Igreja parece ter abandonado a preocupação puramente doutrinal. A Constituição Pastoral sobre a Igreja no mundo de hoje é em certo sentido um prolongamento consequente da Constituição Dogmática sobre a Igreja, voltando-se de suas estruturas internas para as situações e os problemas de sua missão no mundo atual...
A religião dos Orixás – outra Palavra do Deus único?
Authors: L’Espinay François de
Published: November 2021

Ao lado das grandes religiões cujos fundadores ou cujos livros sagrados anunciam uma aspiração universal, existem outras com ambições mais modestas que se enraízam nas tradições imemoriais de um povo particular e estão indissociavelmente ligadas à sua cultura e ao seu destino histórico. François de l’Espinay relata seu encontro com uma delas, o candomblé, implantada no Nordeste do Brasil pelas populações africanas levadas como escravos. Importante pelas questões que ele apresenta a um catolicismo que impôs historicamente sua dominação aos Negros desse país, este testemunho o é também porque representativo de muitos aproches similares que não se efetuam no nível dos estados-maiores da missão ou dos colóquios entre teólogos, mas numa proximidade vivida no dia-a-dia, lá onde não se trata de exclusão ou de exclusivismo, nem de integração suave, nem de renúncia àquilo em que se crê. Nesse modo de encontro afloram concretamente os aspectos mais problemáticos do anúncio do Deus de Jesus Cristo àqueles cultos ancestrais: o Verbo se serviria dos Orixás para falar às pessoas do candomblé?

Published: October 2021

Stunting and other forms of malnutrition are the principal factors causing child death, disease, and disability. Stunting in infants is a failure to grow because of a history of insufficient nutrition for a long time. Toddlers will be said to experience stunting permanently and are difficult to repair when they reach the age of 2 years, so the stunting management is directed to the golden period (0-24 months). This research finds out the relationship between Early Breastfeeding Initiation and Food Intake and the incidence of Stunting. Analytical observational research method with cross-sectional design. The population of this research is all children under five after 6-59 months near Kelantan Siantan, Pontianak City. The number of samples in this study amounted to 94 people using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that there was a significant relationship (p <0.05) between IMD and the incidence of stunting. Toddlers who get IMD at birth have a 0.3 times chance of not getting stunted compared to those who did not get IMD (OR = 0.323 CI95% = 0.124 to 0.842). There was a significant relationship (p <0.05) between food intake and the incidence of stunting, toddlers who were given good food intake were 0.3 times less likely to experience stunting compared to those who received inadequate food intake (deficits).

Ağ düzenekleri içerisine yerleşik örgütlerin, bu sisteme dahil olmayan örgütlerin sahip olamayacağı kaynak ve bilgilere ulaşabileceği literatürde tartışılan konulardan biridir. Örgüt teorisi literatüründe, örgütlerin ağlara katılma nedenleri tartışılagelmiştir. Bu çalışmada, iş insanlarının bulundukları sosyal ağların yerleşik olunan bağlamdan etkilenen özgün niteliklerinin olup olmadığının ve iş insanlarının bu ağlara katılma nedenlerine dair literatürdeki tartışmaların tespit edilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Bu çalışmada örgütsel alanda örgütün içinde bulunduğu ağ düzeneklerine dair oluşan geniş yazına dayanarak, girişimci aktörlerin bu ağlar içinde bulunma nedenlerine yönelik tartışmaların tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Örgütsel ağlara katılım nedenlerine ilişkin yapılan yazın taraması sonucu, sosyal ağların nitelikleri, işlevleri ve kişilerin bu ağlara katılım nedenleri veya gerekçelerine ilişkin birçok tartışmalar olduğu ortaya koymuştur. Bu çerçevede ilk olarak, iş insanlarının dahil oldukları sosyal ağlar ile rekabet avantajı sağlayacak üstünlükler elde ettikleri, örgütler açısından kritik nitelikli kaynaklara ulaşmak konusunda üstünlük sağladıkları savı öne sürülmektedir. İkinci olarak da sosyal ağların yerleşikliği ve iş insanlarının içinde yaşadıkları kültürel ve kurumsal bağlamın bu ağ yapıları ve ilişkilerine etkisi kritik bir araştırma sorunsalını oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmamızda girişimcilerin hangi temel saiklerle ağlara katıldıklarına yönelik tartışmalar tespit edilmiştir.

19. yüzyılda Avrupa’da yaşanan gelişmeler Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nda da ekonomik, toplumsal, kültürel, siyasal ve mekânsal bir takım değişim ve dönüşümlere yol açmıştır. Özellikle Sanayi Devrimi ve buna bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan kapitalizm, Avrupa’yı, bir yandan hammadde ihtiyacını ucuz bir şekilde karşılamak için öte yandan da ürettiği malları tükettirmek için yeni pazar arayışlarına itmiştir. Yaşanan bütün bu sürecin etkilerinin görülebildiği en önemli mekanlardan biri ise liman kentleri olmuştur. Liman kentleri başta ticaret olmak üzere ekonomik faaliyetlerin etkisiyle bir takım sosyal, ekonomik ve mekânsal dönüşümler geçirmiş ve demografik yapı da bu dönüşümlerden nasibini almıştır. Osmanlı İmparatorluğunda liman kentleri 19. yüzyılda tarımsal merkezli olmaktan çıkıp ticari yapılanmaya doğru evrilmiştir.
Bu çalışmada 19. yüzyılda ticari örgütlenmelerin yaşandığı liman kentleri Dedeağaç örneğinde ele alınmıştır. Dedeağaç, Edirne vilayetine bağlı bir kaza iken Sultan II. Abdülhamid döneminde sancak olarak teşkilatlandırılmıştır. Meriç Nehri'nin taşıdığı malzemelerden dolayı Enez limanının içeride kalmasıyla Dedeağaç ön plana çıkmıştır. Artan ticari yoğunluk ve talepler, Dedeağaç'ın nüfusunu arttırdığı gibi kentin mekansal dönüşümüne de de katkıda bulunmuştur. Dolayısıyla 19. yüzyılda Osmanlı taşrasında, ticaret yollarının üzerindeki kentler yerine liman kentlerinin cazibe merkezi haline gelmesini görmek mümkündür.

Aort diseksiyonu nadir görülen genellikle hipertansif ve bağ doku hastalıkları ile ilişkili bir vasküler hastalık olup mortalite oranları yüksektir. Gebelik de aort diseksiyonu için bir risk faktörüdür ve tedavisi acil cerrahi müdahaledir. Gebelik sırasında aort diseksiyonuna nadiren rastlanır ve tedavisiz kalması halinde ölümle sonuçlanabilir. Ancak gebelik öncesinde aort diseksiyonu geçirip opere olan ve sonra gebe kalan hastaların gebelik takibi ile ilgili literatürde yeterli veri yoktur.
Bu çalışmada Tip A aort diseksiyonu sonrasında suprakoroner ve hemiark aort sentetik greft replasman öyküsü olan ve 15 haftalık gebeliği sırasında toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde (BT) asendan aortta aortik, anulus düzeyinde 60x56mm fuziform anevrizmatik dilatasyon, desenden aortta proksimal kesimi 55mm, orta kesim 68 mm ve distal kesimi 45mm boyutlarında belirgin fuziform anevrizma saptanmıştır. Hastanın aynı zamanda epilepsi ve astım öyküsü mevcuttur.
Mevcut medikal durumu ve komorbiditeleri sebebiyle kardiyoloji, kalp damar cerrahisi ve perinatolojinin içinde bulunduğu bir konsey kararı ile hastaya gebeliğin yüksek riskli olduğu bildirilmiştir. Hastanın terminasyon istemi olması üzerine 3 saat aralıklarla 400 mcg vajinal prostoglandin E1 uygulanmıştır. Ancak 12 saati geçmesine rağmen abortus gerçeklememesi üzerine dilatasyon amacıyla servikal balon yerleştirilmiş ve abortus sonrasında rest plasenta kalması üzerine hastaya Bumm-Küretaj yapılmıştır.
