Design and implementation of fractional-order controller in delta domain
Authors: Dolai Sujay , Mondal Arindam , Sarkar Prasanta
Published: February 2024

In this work, a fractional-order controller (FOC) is designed in a discrete domain using delta operator parameterization. FOC gets rationally approximated using continued fraction expansion (CFE) in the delta domain. Whenever discretization of any continuous-time system takes place, the choice of sampling time becomes the most critical parameter to get most accurate results. Obtaining a higher sampling rate using conventional shift operator parameterization is not possible and delta operator parameterized discretize time system takes the advantages to circumvent the problem associated with the shift operator parameterization at a high sampling limit. In this work, a first-order plant with delay is considered to be controlled with FOC, and is implemented in discrete delta domain. The plant model is designed using MATLas well as in hardware. The fractional-order controller is tuned in the continuous domain and discretized in delta domain to make the discrete delta FOC. Continuous time fractional order operator (s??) is directly discretized in delta domain to get the overall FOC in discrete domain. The designed controller in implemented using MATLABSimulink and dSPACE board such that dSPACEboard acts as the hardware implemented FOC. The step response characteristics of the closed-loop system using delta domain FOC resembles to that of the results obtained by continuous time controller. It proves that at a high sampling rate, the continuous-time result and discrete-time result are obtained hand to hand rather than the two individual cases. Therefore, the analysis and design of FOC parameterized with delta operator opens up a new area in the design and implementation of discrete FOC, which unifies both continuous and discrete-time results. The discrete model performance characteristics are evaluated in software simulation using MATLAB, and results are validated through the hardware implementation using dSPACE.

Published: February 2024

Currently, the energy sector is the main responsible for the emission of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Therefore, to reverse this scenario, it
is necessary to expand the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind
energy. With that, the search for improving efficiency in wind turbines that
work with low speed winds, make the Savonius turbine an advantageous option
for presenting characteristics of low construction cost. This study aims to
theoretically analyze a single model of vertical axis wind micro turbine
using artificial wind. The wind power for 2 stages in this project was 0.063
W, as the power variation in relation to rotation is not linear. Another
important factor to consider is that the overlap ratio of 30% collaborates a
power reduction. Using the mathematical models, some results were
theoretically analyzed through the Savonius turbine with central axis. The
literature indicates that the most efficient turbine is a two-stage turbine
with helical blades and without a central axis.

Published: February 2024

The efficiency of horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) blades is examined in
this paper concerning the effect of cross-section airfoil type. Three
different airfoils were examined: symmetric (NACA 4412), asymmetric (NACA
0012), and supercritical (NACA 4412). (EPPLER 417). The analyses that were
performed combined theory and experiment. Theoretical analyses were carried
out using Fortran 90 code and the blade element momentum-based Qblade code.
The blade was created using SolidWorks software and a 3D printer for testing
purposes. The findings of experimental tests supported the conclusions of
the theory. Research revealed that the EPPLER 417 blade, which has a
supercritical airfoil, performed better than other examined objects. NACA
4412, NACA 0012, and EPPLER 417 each have a power coefficient of 0.516,
0.492, and 0.510. According to the experimental data, the EPPLER 417 airfoil
outperforms other air-foils in terms of power and speed reduction. To
calculate the deformation and stresses of the three blades with various
cross sections, CFD analysis was done in ANSYS Workbench. The CFD results
showed that NACA 4412 has the highest strength but EPPLER 417 was considered
the optimum cross-section based on power generation and acceptable stress
values.
A study of binary decision diagram characteristics of bent Boolean functions
Authors: Radmanovic Milos
Published: February 2024

Bent Boolean functions exist only for an even number of variables, moreover,
they are unbalanced. Therefore, they are used in coding theory and in many
areas of computer science. General form of bent functions is still unknown.
One way of representing Boolean functions is with a reduced ordered binary
decision diagram (ROBDD). The strength of ROBDDs is that they can represent
Boolean functions data with a high level of redundancy in a compact form, as
long as the data is encoded in such a way that the redundancy is exposed.
This paper investigates characteristics of bent functions with focus on
their ROBDD parameters. Decision diagram experimental framework has been
used for implementation of a program for calculation of the ROBDD
parameters. The results presented in this paper are intended to be used to
create methods for the construction of bent functions using a ROBDD as a
data structure from which the bent functions can be discovered.
Analysis of reasons for blood donor deferral in student population of Vojvodina
Authors: Kocic Neda , Bujandric Nevenka , Bezanovic Milomir , Beronja Milana
Published: February 2024

Introduction. The supply of blood from healthy blood donors (BD) is essential
for safe blood transfusions. As students play an important role in
providing adequate blood supplies, this study analyzes the frequency and
reasons for blood donor deferral among the student population of Vojvodina,
with the intention of reducing the rate of deferral and improving re-entry.
Material and Methods. A retrospective study examined blood donor deferral
records of the University of Novi Sad students who donated blood at the
Blood Transfusion Institute of Vojvodina, from January 1 to December 31,
2022. The deferrals have been categorized based on pre-donation deferral
causes, the blood donor deferral period, in relevance to the safety of both
the blood donor and the recipient. Results. Of 867 students in total, 121
(13.9%) were deferred from donating blood. 72/121 (59.5%) of them were
female, 49/121 (11.3%) were male, and 99/121 (81.8%) were regular blood
donors. Temporary deferrals of less than 3 months were recorded for 98/121
(80.99%) students, while deferrals for 6 months were applicable to 19/121
(15.7%), with 4/121 (3.3%) experiencing permanent deferrals. The number of
blood donors deferred due to safety reasons of the very donors was 85/121
(70.2%). The most common reasons were low hemoglobin level 17/121 (14.1%),
medication deferral (pain-killers, antihista?mines, antibiotics) 17/121
(14.1%) and adverse reactions prior to blood donation 15/121 (12.3%).
Conclusion. Educating blood donors about high-risk behaviors, medication
usage, screening for iron deficiency and hypertension could be the most
important tool to reduce the rate of deferral and improve blood donor
re-entry.
Correlation between electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters in the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients
Authors: Djurovic Vladimir , Vulin Aleksandra , Petrovic Milovan , Popovic Milica
Published: February 2024

Introduction. Left ventricular hypertrophy is defined as an increase in the
left ventricular mass. Electrocardiography is a widely used and
cost-effective method for the initial screening of the condition, but it
has limited sensitivity and specificity. The Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell
criteria are still most commonly used in diagnosing the disease; their
sensitivity, however, is low. On the contrary, the Romhilt-Estes scoring
system incorporates atrial abnormalities and repolarization phases making
this scoring system a better diagnostic tool. This study explores the
correlation between electrocardiography and echocardiography in the
diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy. Material and Methods. The study
enrolled 30 patients with median age of 62, diagnosed with arterial
hyperten?sion, who underwent a 12-lead electrocardiogram and transthoracic
echocardiogram. The analysis included the assessment of correlation between
the relevant electrocardiographic parameters and the left ventricular mass
index, as well as calculation of their diagnostic capability including the
area under the ROC curve. Re?sults. Positive correlation of moderate
intensity has been observed between the left ventricular mass index and
Sokolow-Lyon (?=0.479), Cornell index (?=0.366), and Cornell product
(?=0.423). Cornell product had the highest sensitivity (0.82), while the
Romhilt-Estes criteria exhibited the highest specificity (0.85).
Sokolow-Lyon yielded the highest area under the curve (0.733), followed by
Cornell product (0.640), Cornell voltage (0.622), and Romhilt-Estes criteria
(0.570). Conclusion. The Sokolow-Lyon criterion exhibited the best balance
between sensitivity and specificity, the highest and significant area under
the ROC curve and the strongest correlation with the left ventricular mass
index.
Atanasije Stojkovic - European paths of modern Serbian homo novus
Authors: Koprivica Caslav
Published: February 2024

In the article, the attempt is to shed light on Atanasije Stojkovic, as a
prominent figure of early modern Serbian culture, a recognized scientist,
and not least as a private person, since this also had an impact on his
multifaceted socio-historical engagement throughout then-Europe. Stojkovic
was personally a fairly ambitious man, but still with a heightened sense of
duty towards his nation. That is why he made noteworthy contributions in the
area of national culture, even though he was a nature scientist by education
and profession. The example of his existence can be seen as paradigmatic for
the entry/return of Serbs into the cultural arena of modern Europe. In the
paper, a brief description of Stojkovic?s efforts in the field of physics
and philosophy/metaphysics of nature is also given.
Frequency and predictors of placement moves for children and youth without parental care
Authors: Zunic-Pavlovic Vesna , Nesic Marija
Published: February 2024

Providing stable placement is a priority task in the care of children and
youth who are separated from their families. Numerous studies document that
housing instability is one of the most difficult challenges faced by social
protection systems in other countries, but there is a lack of information
about the situation in Serbia. The aim of this research was to determine the
frequency and predictors of placement moves of children and youth out of
home care. Using a retrospective research design, the authors examined the
history of placement of users in residential care institutions for children
and youth without parental care, from the moment of removal from the family.
The sample consisted of 133 users from seven institutions in Serbia, who
were of both sexes (female 57,1% and male 42,9%) and aged from 14 to 20
years (AS=16,68, SD=1,82). Data on the placement history prior to admission
to the residential care, as well as the characteristics of the users, their
biological family and current placement, were obtained from the official
documentation. The results show that 72,2% of children and youth from the
sample had at least one placement change, and 6,8% experienced four or more
moves. In most cases (53,4%) the changes are non-progressive in terms of
moving to placement that is equally or more restrictive. This research
confirmed the findings of previous studies that placement instability is
associated with mental disorders of users, older age at admission and
biological family structure. The paper discusses the implications of these
findings for future research and points out that focusing attention on known
predictors of placement moves can contribute to stability in the care of
children and youth separated from their families.

Invisalign Lite: a cross-sectional investigation of orthodontist treatment-planning practices
Authors: Meade Maurice J. , Blundell Haylea , Meade Eva A. , Giulieri Caitlin , Weir Tony
Published: February 2024

Objectives

To survey treatment-planning practices of orthodontists related to the Invisalign Lite clear aligner appliance (Align Technology, San Jose, Calif).

Materials and Methods

Patients satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria and treated with Invisalign Lite were selected from a database containing more than 17,000 patients. Relevant data regarding treatment-planning practices were obtained from Align Technology’s treatment-planning facility, ClinCheck, and evaluated.

Results

Most (n = 135; 79.9%) patients were female and had a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 30.5 (23.8, 43.1) years. The median (IQR) number of aligners for the sample was 23.0 (14, 28) for the maxilla and 24 (14, 28) for the mandible. Most (n = 122; 72.2%) patients required at least one additional series of aligners. More locations for interproximal reduction (IPR) were prescribed in the mandible (mean 1.91 [1.78]) than in the maxilla (1.03 [1.78]; P < .024) in the initial accepted plan of all patients. More teeth were prescribed composite resin (CR) attachments in the maxilla (P < .0001) in the initial accepted plan of all patients. Issues regarding tooth position protocols (n = 50; 53.3%) and requirement for additional IPR (n = 68; 45.3%) were reasons for treatment plan changes before acceptance of the initial treatment plan by orthodontists.

Conclusions

More than 7 of 10 patients required at least one additional series of aligners after the initial series of Invisalign Lite aligners was completed. Prescription of IPR was more common in the mandible, and prescription of CR attachments was more common in the maxilla.

Objective: To determine feasibility and compare acceptance of an investigational Medtronic enhanced-Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (e-AHCL) system in type 1 diabetes adults with earlier iterations.

Research Design and Methods: Non-randomised three-stage (each of twelve weeks) exploratory study comparing e-AHCL (Bluetooth®-enabled MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump with automatic data upload [780G] incorporating an updated algorithm; calibration-free all-in-one disposable sensor; seven-day infusion set) preceded by a Run-in (Non-Bluetooth® 780G [670G V4.0 insulin pump] requiring manual data upload; Guardian Sensor 3 [GS3] requiring calibration; three-day infusion set), Stage 1 (780G; GS3; three-day infusion-set) and Stage 2 (780G; calibration-free Guardian Sensor 4; three-day infusion set). Treatment satisfaction was assessed by Diabetes Technology Questionnaire (DTQ)-current (primary outcome) and other validated treatment satisfaction tools with glucose outcomes by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics.

Results: Twenty-one of 22 (11 women) participants (baseline HbA1c 6.7% / 50mmol/mol) completed the study. DTQ-current scores favored e-AHCL (123.1 [17.8]) vs. Run-in (101.6 [24.2]), and Stage 1 (110.6 [20.8]) (both p<0.001) but did not differ from Stage 2 (119.4 [16.0]; p=0.271). Diabetes Medication System Rating Questionnaire short-form scores for ‘Convenience and Efficacy’ favored e-AHCL over Run-in and all stages. Percent time in range (TIR) 70-180mg/dL was greater with e-AHCL vs. Run-in and Stage 2 (+2.9% and +3.6% respectively; both p<0.001). Percent time <70mg/dL for e-AHCL were significantly lower than Run-in, Stage 1 and Stage 2 ( -0.9%, -0.6%, and -0.5% respectively; all p<0.01).

Conclusions: e-AHCL was feasible. User satisfaction increased compared with earlier Medtronic HCL iterations without compromising glucose control.

Published: February 2024

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease. A variety of systemic treatments are available for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. The efficacy, safety and administration profile of these treatments vary, and determining the optimal treatment strategy may require weighing the benefits and drawbacks of therapies with diverse characteristics. This study used an online discrete choice experiment survey to investigate treatment preferences among adults with atopic dermatitis from Denmark, France, the UK, or Canada. Participants were identified through existing online panels. The survey included questions regarding different treatment attributes, defined based on currently approved treatments for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Treatment preferences were measured as the relative importance of different treatment attributes. A total of 713 respondents met the inclusion criteria and completed the survey. The discrete choice experiment identified a significant preference for avoiding the risk of severe adverse events, and for oral pill every day compared with biweekly injections. The time to full effect was not rated as being important. These findings suggest that patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis prioritize safety as most important, followed by ease of administration in their treatment preferences, while time to full effect and monitoring requirements were the least important attributes.

Acne in adult females is triggered mainly by hormones. Doxycycline is a reference treatment in acne. Spironolactone targets the androgen receptor of sebaceous glands and is prescribed off-label for female adult acne. This multicentre, controlled, randomized, double-blind prospective and parallel study assessed the efficacy of spironolactone compared with doxycycline in adult female acne. A total of 133 women with moderate acne were randomized to receive treatment with: (i) doxycycline and benzoyl peroxide for 3 months followed by a 3-month treatment with its placebo and benzoyl peroxide, or (ii) spironolactone and benzoyl peroxide for 6 months. Successfully treated patients continued with benzoyl peroxide or spironolactone alone for a further 6 months. Primary endpoints were treatment success at month 4 and month 6 with the AFAST score. At all visits, the ECLA score, lesion counts, local and systemic safety and quality of life were assessed. Spironolactone performed better at month 4 and showed a statistically significant better treatment success after 6 months than doxycycline (p = 0.007). Spironolactone was 1.37-times and 2.87-times more successful compared with doxycycline at respective time-points. AFAST and ECLA scores, as well as lesion counts always improved more with spironolactone. Patients’ quality of life was better with spironolactone at month 4 and month 6. Spironolactone was very well tolerated. This is the first study to show that, in female adults with moderate acne, treatment with spironolactone is significantly more successful than doxycycline and very well tolerated.

Published: February 2024

Objectives: To investigate the association between diabetes and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly population, and examine the impact of cognitive dysfunction on level of activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with diabetes.
Methods: Data analysis was conducted on 2,951 individuals aged over 65 years from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey cohort. Propensity score matching was utilized to mitigate selection bias. Multivariate binary logistic regression was performed to analyse the association between diabetes and cognitive dysfunction in the study subjects. In addition, the relationship between ADL and cognitive function in patients with diabetes was analysed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Results: A significant association (p = 0.017) was found between diabetes and the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction in older adults. Subgroup analyses revealed that diabetes patients with cognitive dysfunction exhibited a worse ADL dependence compared with those without cognitive dysfunction (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: These findings indicate that diabetes is associated with cognitive dysfunction in older adults. Meanwhile, there is an association between cognitive impairment and ADL level in subjects with diabetes. As such, healthcare professionals should pay close attention to the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction and ADL decline during diagnosis and treatment, and proactive prevention and intervention strategies should be implemented.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the associations between age at radical prostate cancer treatment and long-term global quality of life (QoL), physical function (PF), and treatment-related side effects.
Material and Methods: This single-center, cross-sectional study included men treated for localized prostate cancer with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) or external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in 2014–2018. Global QoL and PF were assessed by the European Organisation of Research and Treatment in Cancer Quality of life Questionnaire-C30 (QLQ-C30), side effects by the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26). Adjusted linear regression models were estimated to assess associations between age (continuous variable) at treatment and outcomes. QLQ-C30 scores were compared to normative data after dividing the cohort in two groups, <70 years and ≥70 years at treatment.
Results: Of 654 men included, 516 (79%) had undergone RARP, and 138 (21%) had undergone EBRT combined with androgen deprivation therapy for 93%. Mean time since treatment was 57 months. Median age at treatment was 68 (min–max 44–84) years. We found no statistically significant independent association between age at treatment and global QoL, PF or side effects, except for sexual function (regression coefficient [RC] −0.77; p < 0.001) and hormonal/vitality (RC 0.30; p = 0.006) function. Mean QLQ-C30 scores were slightly poorer than age-adjusted normative scores, for men <70 years (n = 411) as well as for men ≥70 years (n = 243) at treatment, but the differences were not beyond clinical significance.
Conclusions: In this cohort of prostate cancer survivors, age at treatment had little impact on long-term QoL and function. Due to the cross-sectional design, short term impact or variation over time cannot be ruled out.
Myelolipoma: A Rare Case Presentation and Review
Authors: Al Hmada Youssef
Published: February 2024

Background: Myelolipomas are rare, benign tumors composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements, primarily encountered in the adrenal glands. However, their occurrence in other locations is exceptionally rare. Case report: We present our case of a 63-year-old male, presented with a sub xiphoid myelolipoma. This mass was incidentally discovered during imaging, with the patient reporting no associated pain or symptoms. Imaging studies were concerning for neoplastic etiology like liposarcoma. An interventional radiology (IR) biopsy revealed "unremarkable bone marrow." Subsequent resection confirmed the diagnosis of myelolipoma. Conclusion: The myelolipoma in this unusual location highlights the importance of considering tumor atypical locations in the differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with uncommon mass presentations

Published: February 2024

Banana (Musa paradisiaca) is one of the important horticultural commodities. This study aims to measure the physical and geometrical parameters of three different bananas (Muli, Ambon, and Kepok) and to develop prediction equations using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. In this study the backpropagation ANN model with supervised learning method was used. The ANN model had one output node, two hidden layers, and network architecture of 8 inputs, namely fruit weight and volume, projected area and roundness of the fruit, cross section, peel color, and geometric mean fruit cross section diameter. The data for building the model and testing the model were respectively 70% and 30% of the 150 data number in total. The results showed that the best ANN model structure for estimating Muli, Ambon and Kepok bananas was purelin-logsig-logsig with an RMSE value of 0.0077 and an R2 of 0.9999. This shows that the ANN model is highly robust to predict the banana types. Using the built model, the accuracy of the prediction results is 100%.  Keywords:  Artificial Neural Network,  Banana fruits,  Geometry attribute.

Published: February 2024

Hyvinvoinnin kuvaaminen kokonaisvaltaisesti vaatii monia erilaisia indikaattoreita. On hyvä ymmärtää, mitä lisäarvoa indikaattorit tuovat suhteessa toisiinsa, ja mitä eroja mittareilla on hyvinvoinnista muodostuvan kuvan kannalta. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tarkastella: 1) miten koetun hyvinvoinnin eri mittarit kattavat hyvinvoinnin eri ulottuvuuksia ja miten ne suhtautuvat toisiinsa, 2) tarkastella näiden mittareiden avulla sitä, mitä eroja väestön hyvinvoinnissa on hyvinvointialueilla, ja 3) tutkia sosiodemografisten ja -ekonomisten tekijöiden yhteyksiä koettuun hyvinvointiin eri mittareiden avulla.
Tutkimusta varten kerättiin suomenkielistä aikuisväestöä (18-79-v.) edustava kyselyaineisto (n=2187), joka sisältää tiedot koetusta hyvinvoinnista, terveydestä ja elämänlaadusta useilla mittareilla, koetusta toimijuudesta ja taustatekijöistä (ikä, sukupuoli, siviilisääty, sosioekonominen asema, pitkäaikaissairaudet). Aineistoa analysoitiin hyödyntäen kuvailevia tilastollisia menetelmiä, pääkomponenttianalyysiä ja monimuuttujaregressioanalyysiä.
Mittareista tunnistettiin kuusi faktoria, joista koetut mahdollisuudet ja taloudellinen tilanne tuovat lisätietoa suhteessa terveyteen liittyvän elämälaadun mittareihin. Korkea ikä, korkea koulutus ja korkeat kotitalouden tulot olivat yhteydessä parempaan koettuun hyvinvointiin.
On tärkeää, että hyvinvoinnin tilan arvioinnissa otetaan huomioon hyvinvoinnin moniulotteisuus - erityisesti mittareiden valinnassa, joka muuten voi vaikuttaa lopputuloksiin ja niiden tulkintaan. Mahdollisuuksien huomioiminen täydentää terveyteen painottuvia elämänlaatumittareita pitäen sisällään myös sosiaalisen hyvinvoinnin näkökulmia. Hyvinvoinnin moniulotteisuuden ja taustatekijöiden laaja-alainen huomioiminen tukevat hyvinvointialueita suuntaamaan palveluita ja ehkäisevää toimintaa vaikuttavammin asukkaidensa moninaiset hyvinvointitarpeet ja eri elämäntilanteet huomioiden.

Ajankohtaista, koko maan kattavaa tutkimustietoa suomalaislasten käytösongelmista, kuten epäsosiaalisesta käytöksestä, on vähän. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella lapsen epäsosiaalisen käytöksen yhteyttä perhetaustaan, lapsen oppimisvaikeuksiin ja hyvinvointiin sekä lapsen koulussa saamaan tukeen suomalaisessa väestöaineistossa. Aineistona käytettiin vuoden 2019 Kouluterveyskyselyn 4. ja 5.-luokkalaisten ja heidän huoltajiensa vastauksia (N = 34 473). Lapsen epäsosiaalista käytöstä mitattiin Monitahoarviointi lapsen sosiaalisesta kompetenssista -mittarin (MASK) liiallisen impulsiivisuuden ja häiritsevän käytöksen kysymyksillä, joihin lapsen huoltaja vastasi.
Lapsilla, joiden perheen sosioekonominen asema oli alempi, joiden vanhemmat olivat eronneet tai jotka asuivat uusperheessä, havaittiin enemmän impulsiivista ja häiritsevää käytöstä kuin muilla lapsilla. Ulkomaalaistausta oli yhteydessä vähäisempään impulsiiviseen (mutta ei häiritsevään) käytökseen sekä pojilla että tytöillä. Epäsosiaalinen käytös oli yhteydessä lisääntyneisiin oppimisvaikeuksiin sekä hyvinvoinnin haasteisiin, kuten kiusaamiseen ja kiusattuna olemiseen, yksinäisyyteen ja mielialaan liittyviin ongelmiin. Verrattuna muihin lapsiin, opiskeluhuollon palveluiden käyttö sekä erityisopettajan käynnit olivat yleisempiä epäsosiaalisesti käyttäytyvillä lapsilla.
Perhetaustaan liittyvä erot lasten epäsosiaalisessa käytöksessä ovat selviä. Lisäksi epäsosiaalisesti käyttäytyvillä lapsilla on haasteita oppimisessa sekä monia hyvinvointia heikentäviä tekijöitä, mikä todennäköisesti entisestään lisää havaittuja terveyseroja pitkällä aikavälillä. Olisikin tärkeää, että epäsosiaalisen käytöksen ongelmiin liittyviä haasteita pystyttäisiin ratkomaan asianmukaisella tavalla ja riittävän varhain. Tämä olisi sekä lapsen, vanhempien että koulun etu. Epäsosiaalisen käytöksen ongelmien ja koulun palvelujen käyttöön liittyviä yhteyksiä ei ole juuri aiemmin raportoitu ja näihin liittyvää tutkimusta onkin syytä edelleen syventää.

Çam balı, gıda ve sağlık açısından önemli odun dışı orman ürünleri arasında yer almaktadır. Çam balı, çam pamuklu koşnili, Marchalina hellenica (Gennadius, 1883) (Hemiptera: Marchalinidae) tarafından üretilen bir salgı balıdır. Böceğin ürettiği salgının bal arıları tarafından emilmesi ve işlenmesi ile oluşmaktadır. Böcek genellikle Türkiye’nin batı kısmının kıyı bölgelerinde bulunur. Son yıllarda iklim değişikliği ve orman yangınları nedeniyle böceğin doğal yayılış alanı ve bal verimi azalmış, üretimi artırmak için yeni alanlara arıcılar tarafından bulaştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Burdur/Merkez'de bulaştırılan böceğin bulaşma sonuçlarına ilişkin 2017-2023 yıllarındaki bulgular verilmiştir. Çalışma sahası yetişme ortamının kötü olduğu yarı kurak iklime sahip bir bölgedir. Böcek, Burdur'a gölün nem etkisiyle uyum sağlamış ancak verdiği zararla kızılçamlarının kurumasına neden olmuştur. Böceğin doğal yayılış alanı dışındaki alanlara uyum sağlasa da ekosistem için yabancı bir tür olması nedeniyle ağaçlarda zararlı olabileceği ve bu nedenle doğal yayılış alanı dışına bulaştırılmaması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Применение решений уравнения Шрёдингера для определения потенциальной энергии и расстояния между нейтронами в нейтронных звёздах.
Authors: Чернов Андрей
Published: February 2024

В основе этого исследования находятся два решения волнового уравнения Шрёдингера: это решение для атома водорода и решение для энергии частицы в бесконечно глубокой одномерной потенциальной яме. В результате их применения вместе с представленной в этом исследовании формулой, была получена формула потенциальной энергии взаимодействия нейтронов в составе нейтронной звёзды и др.

На основе полученных формул через квантовые числа n=1, n=2 были определены значения потенциальной энергии взаимодействия нейтронов в центральной части нейтронных звезд: E_1=-4,8245140 ∙〖10〗^(-15) эВ и в периферической части нейтронных звезд: E_2=-1,2061285 ∙〖10〗^(-15) эВ. Наличие двух уровней энергии предполагает квантовый характер излучения гравитационных волн при слиянии нейтронных звёзд.

Также через полученные формулы в соответствии с квантовыми числами n=1, n=2 были определены расстояния между нейтронами в нейтронных звёздах. Был вычислен размер нейтрона в составе нейтронной звезды, который совпал с экспериментальным размером нейтрона.

В исследовании была определена масса нейтрона в составе нейтронной звезды, которая составила m_N= 1,630740013 ∙〖10〗^(-27)кг. Это на 2,6% меньше массы атома водорода и массы свободного нейтрона. С позиций атомной физики эта малая разница объясняется дефектом массы атомов водорода, гелия и других атомов в процессе эволюции звезды в нейтронную звезду. Формула, по которой была рассчитана масса нейтрона содержит три независимые физические постоянные: величину элементарного заряда, величину скорости света в вакууме, гравитационную постоянную.

Кроме вышеперечисленного были получены другие результаты.
Modern Implementation of the Natural-Philosophical Concept of Cognition on the Basis of the Empirical-Metaphysical General Systems Theory
Authors:   Independent researcher, Gribkov Andrey A.
Published: February 2024

The article examines the relationship between philosophy and science, as well as the possible role of general systems theory in the formation of the field of consolidated philosophical and scientific knowledge. It is argued that the existing arguments concerning the incompatibility of philosophy with the criteria of scientificity only point to the existence of differences between philosophical knowledge and knowledge within the framework of private sciences. At the same time, philosophy is the methodological and paradigmatic basis of all sciences. It is suggested that it is expedient to return to the natural-philosophical concept of cognition, according to which the core of science is philosophy, and private sciences act as tools of cognition of separate subject areas. The methodological basis for the realization of the natural-philosophical concept today can be the general theory of systems, supplemented by the ontological component. In the article the idea of a common field of knowledge formed by philosophy and all private sciences is put forward. This field of cognition is formed by areas of three types: metaphysical knowledge, private sciences, and areas of generalized or universal knowledge, the cogni-tion of which can be carried out only by means of the general theory of systems. An extended version of the general theory of systems is proposed – the empirical-metaphysical general theory of systems, which, in the author’s opinion, possesses the necessary capabilities for the realization of philosophical cognition. The pro-posed general theory of systems includes an epistemological component (metaphysics of material being) as well as an ontological component. А cognition of complex non-deterministic objects within the framework of empirical-metaphysical general theory of systems is realized by a wide set of tools: collections of patterns and primitives of systems, secondary laws and properties of objects, evolutionary way of cognition and laws of evo-lutionary growth of complexity of systems, as well as methodology of formation of reliable knowledge.
Philosophical Foundations of Contemporary Chinese Neorealism
Authors:   Transbaikal State University, Zhao Shuai ,   Qiqihar University
Published: February 2024

Chinese new realism painting is formed under the interaction of western philosophy and Chinese native phi-losophy. Philosophical and cultural theories have had a significant impact on artists’ understanding of real-world problems and the way they conceive art. For some contemporary Chinese artists, philosophical and cul-tural theories have become an integral part of their professional outlook. Neorealist artists depict objective reali-ty according to their feelings, emotions and spiritual values. This paper points out three philosophical concepts that influence Neo-Realism philosophy: symbol philosophy, value philosophy and life philosophy. These philo-sophical schools have influenced the most important conceptual attributes of creation and reflected the particu-larity of neo-realists’ cognition of the world. The particularity of the philosophical and cultural interpretation of the new realist artist’s creation lies in the artist’s high subjectivity, criticism and individualization. It is this philo-sophical premise that opens up a broad space for free creation, showing the subjective understanding of reali-ty, reflecting the inner world of the individual and the interpretation of reality in the works.

Published: February 2024

The article examines some aspects of Turkey’s foreign policy in the 1980–1990s, during the time when Turgut Ozal was in power. The study of this issue in the context of political biography of a particular figure is condi-tioned by the fact that in Turkish practical politics the personal factor is of key importance. The problem is stud-ied on the basis of media sources and academic works. The two most important areas of Turkey’s foreign activ-ity are considered – integration with Western Europe, Armenian and Kurdish issues. These external problems are the most significant for Turkey’s internal development. T. Ozal come to be seen in the history of Turkish politics as a figure who was the first to outline its main strategic directions for the following decades, which are relevant up to the present moment.
