Paramounts of Intent-based Networking: Overview
Authors: Mihaeljans Martins , Skrastins Andris , Porins Jurgis
Published: December 2024

This study is an exploration of the design of the state-of-the-art intent-based networking (IBN) model. In IBN, communication means are initialised by user’s (herein IT staff, not end-user) input of requirements and not instructions. Thus, allowing the self-organisational abilities of the network to set communication paths. Through research of academic studies and standardisation drafts we conduct IBN structure. We determined the need for change in the design. The current IBN model detains its adaptation as network assurance requirements of ensuring network security and scalability, and continuity are unfulfillable via conduct of network analysis and track of intent drift. We propose two submodels - one for autonomous networks and one for supervised networks.

Collaborative Intrusion Detection System to Identify Joint Attacks in Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks Routing Protocol on the Internet of Everything
Authors: Abdulkareem Omar A. , Kontham Raja Kumar , Mahmood Farhad E.
Published: December 2024

The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) routing protocol is utilized in the Internet of Everything (IoE) is highly vulnerable to various collaborative routing attacks.  This attack can highly degrade network performance through increased delay, energy consumption, and unreliable data exchange. This critical vulnerability necessitates a robust intrusion detection system. This study aims to enhance a Collaborative Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) for detecting and mitigating joint attacks in the RPL protocol, focusing on improving detection accuracy while minimizing network delay and energy usage. A series of algorithms and techniques are implemented, including Queue and Workload-Aware RPL (QWL-RPL) for congestion reduction, weighted random forward RPL with a genetic algorithm for load balancing, fuzzy logic for trust evaluation, and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) for attack detection. Additionally, Q-learning with a trickle-time algorithm is used to classify and manage joint attacks effectively. Numerical analysis indicates that the proposed approach performs better than existing methods in multiple metrics, including accuracy, energy consumption, throughput, control message overhead, precision, and computing time. By integrating these diverse techniques, the proposed CIDS offers a scalable and efficient solution to improve the security and performance of RPL-based networks in IoE environments, outperforming current approaches in detection accuracy and resource optimization.

Published: December 2024

A cuttlebone sourced from Sepia officinalis, acquired from the Iskenderun fish market, served as the raw material for the extraction of chitin (CT) and chitosan (CS). The chemical structure and physico-chemical properties of both CT and CS were comprehensively characterized through Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The yields of CT and CS obtained from the cuttlebone of S. officinalis were calculated as 32.1% and 72.6%, respectively. The results of FTIR spectrum analysis revealed the presence of functional groups at various bands, confirming the samples to be CT and CS. The deacetylation degree (DD) value was determined to be 84.20% based on the FTIR results. The crystal index (CrI) of CT obtained from the cuttlebone was calculated as 60.13%. Morphological distinctions between CT and CS biopolymers were emphasized by the results of SEM analysis. The successful extraction of these biopolymers from the cuttlebone of S. officinalis, species of significant commercial importance and widespread consumption, was accomplished. These biopolymers derived from the shells of marine animals can be utilized as sustainable and environmentally friendly materials in various applications.

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin 100 Yıllık Sanayileşme Sürecine Kısa Bir Bakış
Authors: Önder Hüseyin
Published: December 2024

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluşundan itibaren geçen 100 yıllık zaman diliminde sanayileşme süreci, birçok aşamadan geçmiştir. Söz konusu sanayileşme süreci, ekonomik, politik ve toplumsal dönüşümün etrafında şekillenmiş, ülkenin kalkınma hedefleri doğrultusunda önemli gelişmeler göstermiştir. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluş yıllarında Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndan devralınan ekonomik yapı modernize edilmeye çalışılmıştır. 1930'lu yıllar devlet öncülüğünde sanayileşme hareketinin görüldüğü bir dönemdir. 1950-1960’lı yıllar arasındaki süreçte ise özel sektöre dayalı sanayileşme çabaları ön plana çıkmıştır. 1960’lı yıllar ise planlı kalkınma dönemi olarak isimlendirilebilir. 1980 sonrası dönemde Türkiye Cumhuriyeti serbest piyasa ekonomisi benimseyerek ihracata dayalı büyüme modeli çerçevesinde sanayileşme hareketini yürütmüştür. 1990’lı yılların sonu ve 2000’li yılların başında yaşanan ekonomik krizler sonrasında gerçekleştirilen reformlar ile sanayi üretimi istikrarlı bir şekilde artmıştır. 2010’lardan itibaren, yüksek teknolojiye dayalı sanayileşme stratejileri Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin temel hedefi olmuştur.
Türkiye’de Yoksulluğun 100 Yıllık Seyri
Authors: Adam Gülşah
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'deki yoksulluğun Cumhuriyet'in ilk yıllarından 21. yüzyılın başına kadar geçirdiği dönüşümünü iki bölümde incelemektedir. Yoksulluk, ilk bölümde ulusal gelirdeki değişimler ve sektörler arası gelir dağılımı üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. İlk dönemlerde kırsal bir sorun olarak görülen yoksulluk, uzun yıllar boyunca hükümetlerin öncelikli gündeminde yer almamış ve kırsal kesimlere yönelik politikalar, köylerin bütünlüğünü korumayı hedeflemiştir. Ancak 1960-1980 yılları arasında sanayileşme ve 1980'deki neoliberal reformlar tarım sektörünü zayıflatarak kırsaldan kente yoğun bir göç dalgasına yol açmıştır. Bu süreç, kentsel yoksulluğun artmasına ve daha görünür hale gelmesine neden olmuştur. 2001 ekonomik krizi, toplumun geniş kesimlerini etkileyen bir yoksulluk dalgasını beraberinde getirmiştir. Avrupa Birliği ile uyum süreci ve IMF’nin yapısal reformları, sosyal politika gündeminin genişlemesini sağlamış, sosyal katılım ve yoksullukla mücadele konuları daha fazla önem kazanmıştır. İkinci bölümde Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu verilerine dayalı olarak incelenen yoksulluk, geliştirilen politikaların sınırlı kaldığını, yoksulluk oranları azalsa da sorunun tamamen çözülmediğini göstermiştir. Türkiye’nin 100 yıllık yoksulluk tarihi, büyüme odaklı ekonomik politikaların ve gönüllülük esasına dayalı sosyal desteklerin, yoksulluğu azaltmada kalıcı çözümler sunamadığını ortaya koymaktadır.
Türkiye’nin 100. Yılında Hayvancılık
Authors: Yılmaz Emre , Yaşar Ercan
Published: December 2024

Diğer ticari ve sınai faaliyetlerle karşılaştırıldığında, hayvancılık sektörü birincil tüketim maddesi üretmesi nedeniyle oldukça farklı bir yapıdadır. Bu açıdan hayvancılık sektörü ülkelerin gıda arz güvenliği için stratejik bir öneme sahiptir. Bir ülkedeki gıda arzının yeterli düzeyde olmaması bir yandan önemli bir kırılganlık göstergesi olarak görülürken, üretiminin iç talebi karşılayacak durumda olması ise bir refah göstergesi olarak görülür. Ekonomik yönden bakıldığında birçok sektöre de önemli girdiler sağlayarak milli geliri ve kırsal kalkınmayı destekleyen hayvancılık sektörü aynı zamanda ülke içi kır-kent göç dengesi açısından da oldukça önemlidir. Hayvancılığın iç göç oranını azaltıp kırsal alanda istihdam sağlamasıyla birlikte, çarpık kentleşme ve yoğun nüfus baskısını önlemek gibi sosyal fonksiyonları da bulunmaktadır. Sanayileşmiş tarım ve hayvancılık bölgeler arasındaki gelişmişlik düzeyi farklılıklarının ortadan kaldırılmasına yardımcı olmaktadır. Türkiye'de hayvancılık sektörünün potansiyelinin araştırıldığı bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de hayvancılığın gelişimini ve yerini ortaya koyarak, yapılan hayvancılık türlerini Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarından günümüze kadar incelemektir. Fiyat üzerinde düşürücü etki yapmasının koşulları veya fiyat hareketlerinin artış eğiliminde olmasının sebepleri devlet eliyle yapılan sübvansiyonlar bağlamında irdelenecektir. Bunun yanı sıra et fiyatlarını dolaylı direkt veya dolaylı yoldan etkileyen faktörlerden; yem sanayi, dağıtım ve nakliye, optimum işletme büyüklükleri, sektörel inovasyonların durumu ile açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.

High productivity and environmental consciousness have made the environmentally friendly features of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) an alternative energy source that has attracted attention as a potential solution to problems such as pollution, global warming, and lack of fuel availability. In the field of SOFC, extensive research has been focused on the development of cells that exhibit good electrochemical performances and are highly durable. Samarium doped ceria (SDC) has become the material that is frequently investigated as a potential electrolyte for SOFC. Compositional modification of SDC doped with Fe as second dopant was investigated in this project. The samples were synthesized using a solid state reaction method from raw materials, which are cerium oxide, samarium oxide, and iron oxide, then sintered at temperatures of 1480 oC. Different concentrations of Fe (0-10 mol%) were doped in SDC. To assess the effects of double dopants on the crystal structure and electrical characteristics, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was employed for phase confirmation, and impedance was measured to determine electrical conductivity. All samples were sintered at 1480 oC and have a relative density more than 95%. It was discovered that, in the lower temperature range of 300-600 oC, significant improvement can be seen when Fe was doped in SDC, where 5 mol% Fe doped SDC shows the highest conductivity with a value of 1.09 S/m at 600 oC, which is more than 3 times higher than SDC, showing that Fe is a potential candidate as second dopant in SDC.

Silver-nanoparticles (AgNPs) from leaf extract have gained considerable interest from years ago until recently. However, the potential of green-synthesised AgNPs as a conductive filler in polymer biocomposites has not been widely investigated. Herein, a series of biopolymer-silver nanoparticle films were prepared by dispersing the suspension of Polygonum minus leaf mediated AgNPs into chitosan (CS) matrix via solution casting. In this work, the physicochemical properties of the composite films were evaluated, and structural property was analysed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity and surface morphology were investigated by two-point probe and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. From the evaluation of moisture uptake, solubility and degradation tests, the rate of moisture uptake reduced as AgNPs concentration increased whereas the solubility and degradation rate increased with increasing addition of AgNPs. The FTIR analysis confirmed that there was no new covalent bond formed and suggested that AgNPs interact non-covalently with amine and hydroxyl groups of chitosan matrix. The conductivity of the CS-AgNPs films increased with one-order magnitude from 10-8 to 10-7 S/cm compared to pristine CS film. The percolation threshold was achieved at 20 wt% of AgNPs and the highest conductivity was achieved at 30 wt% AgNPs with the conductivity value of 3.20 x 10-7 S/cm. SEM micrographs revealed that the composite film with 30 wt% AgNPs exhibited smooth and homogeneous surface which agrees well with the conductivity results. This CS-Polygonum minus leaf mediated AgNPs composite film shows potential as an alternative for biodegradable biomedical implants, smart packaging and wearable electronics applications.

Iron ore is one of the most vital supplies in the world after oil, and its demand has increased intensely in the last two decades. Goethite (α-FeO(OH)) is an iron oxyhydroxide containing ferric iron ore that exists abundantly in the earth's crust however, it consists of Fe with a low grade which makes it an unfavourable resource. Thus, Fe upgrading and economic consideration of such ore are crucial. The analysis result of the iron ore rock sample taken from Kelantan comprises 51.98% Fe, 4.01% Si, 1.99% Al, 0.0053% Mn, 0.0023% P, 0.6103% C and 0.0460% S. Yet, based on XRF and XRD results, the raw sample consists of 50.79% Fe and 60% of goethite minerals, respectively. The Fe upgrading processes used were the combination of two or three methods processes namely roasting, gravity, magnetic, and electrostatic separations. The methods were (1) spiral – double disc magnetic separator (DDMS), (2) shaking table (ST) – wet high-intensity magnetic separator (WHIMS), (3) ST – high tension separator (HTS), (4) roasting – WHIMS – ST, and (5) roasting – ST. The fifth method appeared to be the most effective and economical. The Fe was successfully upgraded to 60.52% (medium grade) with a recovery of 59.76%. Other elements were also slightly reduced such as 1.36% Si, 1.77% Al, 0.0050% Mn, 0.0021% P, 0.4809% C, and 0.0386% S.

22MnB5 boron steel, an Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS), is celebrated for its exceptional strength and wear resistance, making it highly valuable in automotive and other industries where lightweight materials are essential. Its superior wear resistance also makes it suitable for use in cutting tools. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of 22MnB5 boron steel as a turning insert for metal machining, specifically in relation to cutting speed and cutting environments. The 22MnB5 boron steel blanks were laser-cut into round shapes with a thickness of 2.6 mm and a diameter of 12 mm, following the RNGN 120300 standard. Machining tests were performed on AA 6061 aluminum alloy under both dry and wet conditions, with cutting speeds ranging from 100 to 450 m/min. The outcomes highlighted that 22MnB5 boron steel is effective for machining AA 6061, with tool wear stabilizing between 200 and 350 m/min. Tool wear ranged from 0.15 to 0.27 mm in dry conditions and was reduced to 0.08–0.18 mm in wet conditions. At lower speeds, built-up edges were the predominant wear mechanism, while at higher speeds, adhesive wear in the form of a tribolayer was more pronounced. These findings highlight the potential of 22MnB5 boron steel for efficient machining, particularly under wet conditions, offering valuable insights into improving tool life and reducing production costs.

Aluminium alloys are widely used in various industries due to their excellent properties. In industry, corrosion is always an issue that engineers are mainly concerned. This study will characterise and analyse the corrosion behaviour of the aluminium 5083 bulk alloy, aluminium 5083 machining chip and mixture of aluminium 5083 (bulk alloy and machining chip). The machining chips were melted at 750ºC and re-cast using sand casting. The samples were characterised using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction Analysis (XRD). SEM revealed the presence of fusion voids and insoluble phases in the re-cast machining chips. At the same time, EDS identified the presence of oxygen and carbon, indicating the formation of Al2O3 and carbides during the sand-casting process. XRD showed peaks corresponding to aluminium magnesium and aluminium silicon. The potentiodynamic polarisation test was performed with a polarisation scan rate of 2 mV/s and a potential range of -1.5 V to 1.5 V, using a saturated Ag/AgCl reference electrode, aluminium samples as the working electrode, and a platinum sheet as the counter electrode. The aluminium 5083 bulk alloy exhibited the lowest corrosion rate (0.88 mm/year), followed by the mixture of aluminium 5083 (bulk alloy and machining chip) (2.15 mm/year), and the aluminium 5083 machining chip (2.93 mm/year). The characterisation of the specimen shows the corrosion product and corrosion pit occur after the corrosion test. These results highlight the superior corrosion resistance of the bulk alloy compared to the machining chip or the mixture.

Published: December 2024

Waste tire dust (WTD) was activated and modified via an electron beam to graft with tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) monomer. This process was investigated in conjunction with reaction parameters, namely, monomer concentration, absorbed dose, grafting temperature, and grafting time. The effect of grafting conditions on the grafting yield (GY) was explored. It was found that GY increased with the increase of absorbed dose, TPGDA monomer concentration, and the grafting temperature. However, a further increase in the grafting reaction time did not affect the GY. The radiation-induced grafting technique used in this study was successful, with the maximum GY of 24.72 at an optimum grafting parameter of 5 w/v% TPGDA concentration, 60 kGy irradiation dose, 3 hours reaction time, and 60 °C reaction temperature. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were employed to provide evidence for the formation of graft copolymers in the grafting systems. It is evident from the FTIR analysis that the radiation grafting method successfully introduced a large number of carbonyl groups onto the WTD surface, as demonstrated by the emergence of a new peak at 1720 cm-1. The surface morphology of the grafted WTD appeared thicker, swelled, and coated compared to non-grafted WTD, followed by the integration of the TPGDA monomer into the backbone of the WTD, resulting in the expansion of the WTD's average diameter by approximately 111.5%. The results of the present study demonstrate that radiation-induced grafting techniques can be successfully employed to prepare grafted WTD.

Agro a galope
Authors: Almeida Luciana Schleder
Published: December 2024

Este artigo visa explicitar a linguagem alegórica ligada às formas de enunciação política de associações patronais de sojicultores em suas bases no Mato Grosso e na capital federal. A perspectiva etnográfica permite identificar estereótipos mobilizados na disputa pela “agricultura” travada entre a concertação política do agronegócio e os movimentos camponeses e povos e comunidades tradicionais. A alegoria do “gaúcho”, especialmente a imagem do herói a cavalo, corresponde a essa arma discursiva de poder que, operando enquanto estereótipo, tende a marcar a ausência de algo desejável no seu objeto que é justamente o “trabalho braçal” ou práticas laborais ligadas à rusticidade camponesa. A incorporação do cavalo nessas performances públicas, assim como o uso de “fronteira” para designar as áreas de interesse da plantation contemporânea, são mensagens reveladoras da persistência da guerra de conquista colonial.
Antropologia e usos da história
Authors: Lima Júnia Marúsia Trigueiro de
Published: December 2024

Este artigo trata de usos da história feitos na e pela antropologia e dos potenciais analíticos de pensar a partir de lógicas que não seguem uma linha temporal ascendente. Discute como algumas teorias clássicas utilizaram, prescindiram ou analisaram a história em suas abordagens espitêmológico-metodológicas. Além disso, também explora “outras historicidades” (Schwarcz, 2005), análises antropológicas que repensam as relações entre passado, presente e futuro. Proponho pensar em um caso em que os sujeitos não apenas vivenciam a história não-linear, mas a instrumentalizam como forma de resistência. Me refiro ao Movimento Zapatista, formado por indígenas do sudeste do México. Com base em duas fases de pesquisa etnográfica — uma documental outra presencial e realizada no estado de Chiapas (2016-2017) —, analiso como seus discursos e projetos embaralham os tempos de duas maneiras: na primeira, passado e presente são indistinguíveis nos comunicados que tratam de história; na segunda, o futuro vive no presente e na construção de um projeto para sobreviver ao fim do mundo, mobilizando emoções e criando alternativas.
