Published: December 2022

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death in urban areas. Carotid artery segmentation is the initial step in the automated diagnosis of carotid artery disease. The segmentation of carotid wall and lumen region boundaries are used as an essential part in assessing plaque morphology. In this paper, two types of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures are used for segmentation: U-Net and SegNet. The models used in this paper are applied on 257 ultrasound images containing a transverse section of the vessel acquired by ultrasound. Ultrasound imaging is noninvasive, completely unharming for the patient and a low-cost imaging method, but the main challenge when working with this kind of images is a very low signal to noise ratio and the process of imaging is highly dependent on the device operator. Different models are tested for various ranges of hyperparameter values and compared using different metrics. The model presented in this paper achieved over 94% Dice Coefficient for wall and lumen segmentation when trained during 100 epochs.
“As Natural as Eating and Drinking”: Garbage Collection and Perpetual Recovery in Latife Tekin's Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills
Authors: DEMİR ATAY Hivren , ATAY Hakan
Published: December 2022

Latife Tekin’s novel, Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills (1984), tells the story of a migrant community, struggling to build squatter houses in the peripheries of an industrialized city. Although the name of the city is not explicitly mentioned in the novel, in an interview Tekin refers to Istanbul as the setting of her narrative. The community described by Tekin builds a unique relationship with garbage in this urban space, which has already been discussed in various contexts extending from urbanization to magical realism. This article aims to contibute to these discussions by foregrounding Tekin’s avoidance to name poverty and by exploring her way of narrating the community’s perpetual recovery. Not only does the article analyze how Tekin writes against sterilized life styles by presenting garbage as resource, but it also suggests that this narrative approach turns out to be even more conspicuous and relevant with the recent rise of street waste pickers in Turkey. The article pursues this discussion by drawing on influential scholars of waste and literature, namely Mary Douglas, Susan Signe Morrison, and William Viney, by performing close readings of the novel, and by engaging in the secondary literature on Tekin’s work. Therefore, the article examines the squatters’ fight against all destructive forces including nature, state-run demolitions, and various communities which try to settle on the same garbage hills. Then it illustrates how Istanbul as an unnamed setting, poverty as an unnamed condition, and folk medicine as a miraculous solution to health problems caused by harsh urban conditions contribute to Tekin’s emphasis on the community’s endless recoveries from all kinds of destructions and illnesses.

Authors: Alabaş Buğrahan , Altınay Adem
Published: December 2022

Today, where clean, renewable and high efficiency energy production gains importance, methane gas draws attention due to its low carbon content. In this study, flame instability and temperature of methane gas were tested in a premixed model gas turbine combustor at different helium dilution conditions. The burner power was kept constant as 3 kW and the equivalence ratio as 0.7. In addition, a swirl generator with a swirl number of 1 is placed at the burner outlet. The dynamic pressure values of the flame were recorded under external acoustic enforcements at different frequencies applied to the flame and thermo-acoustic combustion instability was interpreted. Methane flame diluted with Helium at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 45 volumetric ratios showed the following results. If helium dilutions of up to 20% did not significantly affect flame instability, instability increased at 30% He. After this critical value, when 45% He dilution was tested, the lowest instability value was determined. In addition, the burner exit temperature of the flame decreased at all helium dilution ratios.
Metaheuristic optimization of double flash based combined heat and power system by using process simulator as black-box function generator
Authors: Akkaya Volkan Ramazan
Published: December 2022

The energy crisis in Europe has increased the importance of energy alternatives to hydrocarbons. For example, geothermal resources have long been proven to be very efficient heat sources for conventional power cycles. To get the maximum benefit from such a system, it is essential to carefully optimize the system parameters. On the other hand, the topology and nonlinear nature of the system prevent it from being expressed as an analytical function and being differentiable. Thus, derivative-based deterministic optimization methods are difficult to apply. In this study, it is proposed to model a geothermal-based dual-flash combined heat and power system in a process simulator and use it as a black-box function generator to calculate the values of the objective and constraint functions. The system parameters that will provide the maximum combined heat and power efficiency are determined by the Genetic Algorithm. Accordingly, with the optimum system design, the total net turbine power is 132.78 kW. The amount of heat utilized is 15020.10 kW.
Piezoelectric energy harvesting from vortex-induced vibrations on a GFRP beam with embedded piezoelectric patch
Authors: Ucar Hakan
Published: December 2022

In the present era, the demand for energy continues to increase and nevertheless, energy resources are gradually decreasing. Therefore, extracting energy from the operating ambient is of great importance especially for industrial applications. Among the numerous available ambient energy sources, wind energy is one of the most promising and prevalent energy sources existing in the environment. In this study, a piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) consisting of an electromechanical coupling of GFRP cantilever beam with an embedded piezoelectric patch is developed for wind energy harvesting. The cantilever beam under the wind flow vibrates due to the pressure field that occurs on the leeward side of the beam. The generation of the pressure field is based on the vortex shedding phenomenon. Theoretical model of the regarding electromechanical coupling subjected to vortex induced vibration is presented and the effect of the pressure field having various vortex shedding frequencies on harvested power is investigated by means of numerical simulations validated with an experimental study. In order to determine the effect of the direction in which the wind excites the PEH, two wind flow conditions are considered; cross wind and head wind. According to the results, it was found that the PEH generates considerably more voltage outputs under cross wind loading than that obtained from the head wind excitation. In cross wind case, maximum open circuit voltage of 82.4 V is obtained at the wind speed of 6 m/s with the vortex shedding frequency of 18 Hz, which is very close to the second resonance frequency of the PEH. With a calculated load resistance of 100 kΩ, the resulting maximum direct voltage and electric power is 58.7 V and 11.5 mW, respectively. As far as the energy efficiency of PEH is concerned, it is determined that the efficiency is about 0.75 for the frequency of 18 Hz, which is quite acceptable for energy harvesting. It is concluded that a composite PEH with an embedded piezoelectric patch can be used as an effective energy harvester for the vortex induced vibration when the vortex shedding frequency is close to its resonance frequency.

Published: December 2022

This study is aimed to create an exemplary project to present the contribution of the new buildings to energy savings when the residential buildings are transformed into green buildings. To create a sustainable built environment in residences, this study emphasizes that low-energy building strategies be combined with efficient and high-performance natural-sourced materials. Our findings show that using a natural-sourced material as the building envelope material has an impact on the use of primary energy and energy costs of the alternatives studied. In this study; In the case of replacing the building external wall components of an existing construction designed with internal insulation in the climatic conditions of Ankara, the change in energy performance has been investigated. The analysis was done with the help of BIM-based Revit Program and “Green buildings studio” where energy simulations were created. In the study, 54 different wall combinations were created by modeling combinations of different construction (porous, gas concrete, and pumice bricks), insulation (glass wool, rock wool, sheep wool, PUR, XPS, and EPS) and, roof (tile, asphalt shingle, and green roof) materials. When the outputs obtained from the analyzes were evaluated, the lowest energy consumption values were observed in the combination of pumice brick wall, green roof, and polyurethane insulation materials. In this scenario, the annual fuel consumption per square meter is determined as 30000.6 MJ/m2. On the other hand, the highest energy consumption values were observed in the combination of porous brick wall, tile roof and sheep wool insulation materials. In this scenario, the annual energy consumption per square meter is determined as 30026.6 MJ/m2. Although there are not high numerical differences between the findings, it has been observed that the results give consistent results with the thermal conductivity coefficients of the materials used in the combinations.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant public health problem due to its widespread prevalence. It becomes a medical and social burden for both society and the patient. To what extent comorbid alcoholism is able to influence the features of the clinical course of COPD remains an open issue. The study aimed to reveal the impact of alcoholism on the level of COPD subjective symptoms in patients with different compliance. Materials and methods. 147 men with COPD in the age of 40―88 years were examined. The study relied on spirometry criteria, mMRC, CAT, domestic questionnaire of adherence to therapy, 6-minutes walking tests. It also established the stage of alcohol disease. The inhalation therapy was clarified during the interview, the episodic and systemic omissions fixed. Results and discussion. We observed the trend to subjective COPD symptoms underestimation in patients with the II, III stages of alcohol disease. Alcohol disease did not affect subjective symptoms in patients with stages III, IV of COPD. The compliance level and subjective symptoms severity showed no interrelation in patients suffering from alcoholism. This emphasized the absent association between the high level of compliance and critical self-state perception in patients with concomitant diseases. Regardless of the concomitant dependence, systemic omissions were rarely observed in patients receiving inhalers with a lower dosage frequency. Conclusion. The poor informativity of mMRC dyspnea scale and CAT-test was demonstrated in patients with mild and moderate COPD and severe alcoholism. The high level of compliance showed no impact on this tendency. Using single dose per day regimen was associated with a better compliance to recommendations, regardless of alcohol adherence.
GENESIS OF THE CONCEPT OF “UNCLAIMED LAND SHARE” IN RUSSIAN LEGISLATION
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Nilov Konstantin N.
Published: December 2022

The concept of “unclaimed land share” appeared and developed in Russian legislation due to the debatable nature of the legal nature and the ambiguity of the legal regime of the land share as a category of land law. The article provides a description of the theoretical and practical issues related to the genesis of the doctrinal and legal concepts of land share and unclaimed land share, the topical issues of recognizing a land share as unclaimed. The author gives the timeline of the concept of unclaimed land share in the legislation, and indicates the change in the criteria for classifying land shares as unclaimed, as well as the complexity of the legal mechanism for recognizing the right of public ownership of them. The article also outlines the possible areas for further development of the legal regime of unclaimed land shares and improvement of its efficiency: procedural improvement to recognize land shares as unclaimed and the criteria for classifying them as such; regulation of the extrajudicial transfer of unclaimed land shares into municipal ownership; establishment of a term for the right to recognize unclaimed land shares as municipal property; use of the legal mechanism for recognizing ownership of unclaimed land shares as ownerless; limitation of the period of use of the legal category of “unclaimed land share”.

The relevance of the study of judicial activity is determined by the need to improve its quality. Judicial activity directly affects the implementation of various human rights and freedoms, one of which is the right to a fair trial. In addition, knowledge about judicial activity needs to be systematized and generalized in order to use it most effectively. Judicial activity, as a rule, is considered while a number of other relevant aspects are being studied rather than as an independent category. The research mainly relied on the method of materialistic dialectics as well as the methods of information analysis and synthesis, the formal-legal and comparative-legal methods. The empirical basis of the study was an analysis of the legislation of the Russian Federation related to the issue of legal regulation of judicial activity, as well as an analysis of the data of the Judicial Department at the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

The article examines composition and morphology of household items that were found in burials of the second half of the 13th—15th centuries in necropolis of Alt-Wehlau situated in Prussian land Nadrovia. These items include razors, flints, whetstones, keys and comb that were common in everyday life of local population and were used as a part of burial inventory under the influence of pagan rite preserved until the 16th century. The study of items composition and morphology relied on the typological and comparative-historical methods that allowed to make following conclusions. Razors of type 1 and flints of types 1—4 were most frequently used in burials both separately and in combination with each other. Items were mainly located near pelvic and femoral bones due the tradition to wear them on the belt. During the specified period household items demonstrated tendency to unification on the form, composition and location in burials. Comparing them with the same items from other necropolis and cities of Order’s state and neighboring Zhemaitiya, the authors concluded that, on the one hand, unified material culture influenced on the household use of inhabitants of Alt-Wehlau and, on the other hand, such usage reflected some regional differences.
“ROYAL GAME” ON THE “ROYAL MOUNTAIN”: СHESS IN KÖNIGSBERG
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Dementev Ilya O.
Published: December 2022

The article explores the history of chess in Königsberg in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The author gives the data on competitions held in the capital of East Prussia, as well as biographical data on players and chess composers who lived there and visited Königsberg. The reconstruction of the history of the chess movement includes the localization of chess clubs in the city. The researcher states, that in the 1850s — 1870s chess clubs with general and specialized membership flourished in the city. The Königsberg Academic Chess Club was the example of the latter. From 1878 until the end of the century chess life in East Prussia was under the umbrella of the East German Chess Union, founded to offset the difficulties of participation of local chess players in all-German tournaments because of geographical remoteness. In the 20th century several world-class players both from among the city’s visitors (Emanuel Lask­er) and local residents (Paul Saladin Leonhardt) appeared in Königsberg. Leonhardt became probably the main figure representing East Prussia at national and international tournaments after the First World War. The years of Nazism witnessed persecution of local chess players of Jewish origin in Königsberg. Chess life of the city itself remained provincial. The chess history of Königsberg ceased with the Red Army storming the city in 1945. Among the participants of the storming there were also Soviet chess players. The article is addressed to chess historians, local historians and tour guides.
THE HUMAN NEED FOR SECURITY AS THE FACTOR OF CONFLICTOGENITY IN THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Authors:   Mari State University, Suslov Evgeny V.
Published: December 2022

The proposed article attempts to determine the possibilities of reducing the level of contradiction between a person’s need for security and the a priori conflictogenic state of the system of international relations, which is in a state of permanent variability. Assumed as methodological “keys” of the study, preference is given to the methodology of the anthropological measurement of international relations, which allowed us to conclude that the anthropology of international relations does not deny the role of the state, but only checks its functions in order to avoid their hyperbolization and contribute to the transformation of an individual into a priority object of security. Another theoretical and methodological basis was the theory of Securitization in Policy Analysis, which contributed to the formulation of a conclusion about the contradictions that arise between the process of ensuring national security and the need for human security when one has to be sacrificed in favor of the other. Yet another theoretical basis for the article was by A. Maslow’s theory of the hierarchy of needs, which caused an objection from the author of the article to the well-known American researcher over his thesis that the need for security rarely acts as an active force. The main argument of the author of the article is that the need for security, transforming into a desire for security, turns into a completely active, if not aggressive, force, a priori creating conflict situations. An analysis of the evolution of paradigms for ensuring security in the international relations system concludes that a successive series of world orders resulted from wars that ended in peace, in which a causal relationship is found between the instinct for self-preservation and aggressive actions, between the need for security and trying to satisfy it by any means. In order to achieve the goal of the study, a solution is proposed to the complex task of maintaining an acceptable level of human security, possible under the condition of close interaction with the state.
