Authors: GOKALP İslam
Published: March 2022

Styrofoam is a recyclable petroleum origin product. However, releasing it and/or its waste into nature causes permanent damage to environment and human health owing to toxic materials that it contains. This study was set out on sustainable recycling of waste styrofoam (WS). To recycle the waste, it is used as a modifier in bitumen. In this respect, three type of bitumen in different penetration grade, which are one used for modification the other two used for reference in optimization analysis and WS in five different rate ranging from 1% to 5% by weight of bitumen were utilized. Different conventional test methods were applied on each samples to identify the effect of WS rate on bitumen basic characteristics. Optimum rate of WS required to produce new grade bitumen was evaluated based on modification index found for all test results. The test results showed that WS modification changes the bitumen properties, significantly. It can be possible to produce new graded bitumen using certain rate of WS. Test method was found a critique factor, since optimum rate of WS considered based on modification index changes due to the test method. Overall, the recycling WS using as a modifier in bitumen can an alternative, energy efficient, economic, and eco-friendly method.

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy has set ambitious renewable energy goals. Although the Kingdom’s current energy mix is dominated by conventional energy (>95%), it aims to draw 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. Currently, the Kingdom enjoys very high solar photovoltaic potential, and it is also well positioned for wind generation. Thus, studying the reliability of highly renewable power systems and the impact of converting conventional generation to renewable energy is of paramount importance. The latter analysis is important because temperatures in the Kingdom are often high for a considerable portion of the year.

Published: March 2022

Unsteady MHD Couette flows in a vertical porous channel with effect of thermal radiation and variable temperature have been studied. The governing equations at first were transformed by usual transformation non-dimensional form. The numerical solutions for time dependent velocity, temperature and special concentration are obtained by the implicit finite difference method. The computed values of fluid velocity, temperature and concentrations are analyzed for different flow parameters such as thermal Grashof number Gr, modify Grashof number Gm, Prandtl number Pr, thermal radiation parameter R and Schmidt number Sc. The effect of these parameters depicting physical situation of the flow profile is expressed with the aid of line graphs. Significant results from this study showed that the velocity, temperature and concentration increases with increase in thermal radiation, magnetic field parameters and time, and decreases with the effect of Prandtl number, Schmidt number at increasing values.

Published: March 2022

This study aims to produce fuel from plastic waste and determine the physical properties of the fuel. Plastic waste used is mineral water bottles (polypropylene/PP) and plastic bags (low-density polyethylene/LDPE). The method used is an experimental method using pyrolysis. 1 kg of raw material is chopped before being put into the pyrolysis container. The container is then heated and turns the plastic into a liquid and then evaporates. The hot plastic vapor flows into a heat exchanger to be condensed. The cooling process uses water with a counter flow direction of the steam flow. The results of the steam condensation process are then analyzed for their physical properties. The fuel obtained from 1 kg of raw materials is 0.863-0.908 kg, with a density of 742 – 761 kg/m3. The kinematic viscosity of the fuel is between 1.75-1.93 cSt. Flash points 1-2 oC and fire points 8-9 oC with HHV of 44.6-46 MJ/kg. The volume of fuel from plastic bottles of mineral water is more and has a higher calorific value when compared to the fuel from plastic bags waste.

Research Background: Biologic drugs are TNF alpha inhibitors, or similar drugs effective in treating AR that do not respond to NSAIDs and DMARDs. They are generally classified as potent drugs in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis and other autoimmune forms of inflammatory arthritis. Biologic drugs are seen as the best way to treat chronic pain that has previously been incurable. Purpose: To identify the effectiveness of the use of biological drugs in Rheumatoid Arthritis to reduce pain. Methodology: The methodology that will be used in this study is an observational, cohort study, conducted at the Mother Teresa University Hospital Center in Albania. The sample taken in the study consists of 36 individuals who are currently undergoing biological drug therapy, and in previous treatments have been treated with Methotrexate or NSAIDs. The biological drugs used are Golimumab, Tofacilinib and Etanercept as a change therapy. Results: The expected results suggest a reduction of pain after the use of biological drugs in the first 6 months of treatment. Conclusions: Biologic drugs are 70-100% effective in reducing AR pain, mainly joint pain in the small joints of the hands and feet, knee and in advanced stages in the articular pain of the pelvis and spine. A therapeutic approach with biological drugs for patients suffering from chronic pain can improve pain reduction, the patient's daily life, and reduce disability states.

M'bahou is a dish consumed in the eastern and central part of Côte d’Ivoire. This dish allows the use of senescent plantain, product relatively cheaper and often rejected on the market due to its high perishability. In this study, the nutritional properties as well as sensory characteristics (colour, shape, size, texture, general appearance, smell, aroma, taste, chewiness) of m’bahou were investigated. This dish produces, then dried had relatively low moisture (7.13%), ash (1.93%), fat (0.24%), proteins (3.07%), crude fiber (2.87%) contents and were good sources of carbohydrates (87.64%), starch (61.15%), energy (364,87 kcal/100 g), vitamin A (134.67 µg/100 g), vitamin B1 (49.57 µg/100 g) and vitamin B2 (564.87 µg/100 g). Mineral composition revealed that potassium (120.32 ± 0.21 mg /100 g dm) and calcium (85.50 ± 0.11 mg /100 g dm) was the most abundant mineral followed by sodium (55.71 ± 1.30 mg /100 g dm), phosphorus (48.10 ± 0.62 mg /100 g dm) and magnesium (46.23 ± 0.06 mg /100 g dm). For Phytochemical compounds, polyphenols (109.64 ± 7.40 mg GAE/100 g dm) were higher than phytates (50.42 ± 1.63 mg/100 g), tannins (27.01 ± 0.35 mg tannic acid/100 g), flavonoids (4.32 ± 0.38 mg quercetin/100 g). The mean scores of the sensory descriptors given by panelists for overall acceptability ranged from 6.40 ± 1.29 to 7.38 ± 1.19 on a 9-point scale, corresponding to pleasant level, so acceptable. Valorization of this dish would be more advantageous because it could contribute more to the reduction losses.

Published: March 2022

The proliferation of boreholes dug by individuals, public and private entities in a bid to overcome the problem of water shortage has caused various communities in Owerri West, southeastern Nigeria to depend on borehole water as readily available water for drinking and domestic purposes. Unfortunately, the water is not treated before it is used for drinking and there is no surveillance of bacteria in the water to ascertain its safety. In consideration of this fact, a study was conducted to assess the bacteriological quality of borehole water in some communities in the area. Borehole water samples were aseptically collected from four communities. The bacteriological assessment was carried out using standard microbiological methods involving determination of total coliform count, total faecal coliform count and total heterotrophic bacterial count. The total coliform counts of the water samples ranged from 1.3x102 to 1.3x104 CFUmL-1 while the total faecal coliform and total heterotrophic bacterial counts ranged from 1.3x102 to 5.8x104 CFUmL-1 and 1.1x102 to 8.7x104 CFUmL-1 respectively. The organisms isolated from the borehole water samples included Shigella sp, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus sp, Klebsiella sp and Escherichia coli. The total bacteria counts exceed the limit set by the World Health Organization for drinking and domestic purposes. Moreover, the pathogenic organisms isolated from the water samples could cause serious health problems in humans. Hence, the borehole water should be treated properly before use and other preventive approaches should be adopted to minimize possible health risks associated with the use of the borehole water.
Carbon sequestration and the enzymic latch mechanism in red, black and white mangrove soils of Florida USA
Authors: George Shwamyil Dasat  , Chundusu Elizabeth Sam
Published: March 2022

Mangrove swamps are important habitat types providing vital ecological services, such as protection of coastlines from erosion and extreme weather conditions including hurricanes, recycling of nutrients and sequestration of carbon. Mangrove swamps support a wide range of biodiversity, improve water quality, provide fish for local communities. They are also used as a source of wood fuel, medication as well as for harvesting honey for the local population. Soil samples for laboratory analyses were collected from red (Rhizophora mangle), black (Avicennia germinans) and white (Laguncularia racemose) mangroves in Florida, USA to determine the biogeochemistry processes. Results of analyses indicated that the red mangrove soil is the most efficient for carbon sequestration. It had the lowest phenol oxidase activity (206.15 nmol dicq g-1 h-1), highest phenolic concentration (262.33 µg g-1) and lowest hydrolase enzyme activity (β-glucosidase) (3.04 nmol g-1 min-1) and, as a result, the highest concentration of soil organic matter (SOM) (57.9%). It is believed that the high soil water content (84.2%).) of the red mangrove, due to its proximity to the sea, is a key driver of these observations. The 'enzymic latch' mechanism appears to be prevalent in the red mangrove soil, in particular, allowing these ecosystems to be effective at carbon storage hence, could serve as an important natural tool in mitigating the effect of climate change. Preservation and conservation of mangrove swamps is vital in balancing the effect of global warming.
THE KAZAKHS IN THE ZONE OF THE IRTYSH FRONTIER: TRANSFORMATION OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF KAZAKHS-CATTLE BREEDERS IN THE MODERN TIMES
Authors:   L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Zhanisov Asset T. , Razdykov Saken Z. ,   L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University
Published: March 2022

The article examines the processes of transformation of the economic activity of the 18th–19th centuries Kazakhs, who were in the zone of influence of the Irtysh frontier. The ‘Irtysh frontier’ is understood as a territorial zone where in modern period a chain of Russian military fortifications was located in the lands bordering with the Kazakhs. The article provides the prerequisites for the formation and a brief history of the fortified military line on the Irtysh, which became a springboard for the spread of Russian influence in the Steppe Territory and Central Asia. It also reveals the reasons for conflict situations between Kazakhs-cattle breeders and border authorities. A particular attention is paid to the consequences of the colonial administration restrictions on the migration of Kazakh herders in the lands adjacent to the Irtysh line. The authors consider the facts of “climbs” of the Kazakhs on the right bank of the river, which in the first place was due to the needs of horse breeding farms of the Irtysh Kazakhs. The need for pastures located in the Kulundinsky and Barabinsky steppes became one of the main reasons for the transition to permanent residence on the right bank of the Irtysh of a part of the Kazakhs and their adoption of Russian citizenship. The features of the change in the economy of the Kazakhs, expressed in the transition to semi-sedentary cattle breeding in the development of haymaking and agriculture, are traced. The authors give examples of cultural interaction and mutual influence between the Kazakh and Russian ethnic groups.
INEQUALITY IN AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY SIBERIAN CITY ACCORDING TO THE DATA OF POPULATION REGISTRATION FOR THE APARTMENT TAX CALCULATION (BARNAUL, 1910)

Published: March 2022

The problem of inequality of the late imperial Russia population is studied for the first time on the materials of “Statements of homeowners for the apartment tax”. The source contains primary data for the city of Barnaul for 1910 on the cost of rent for homeowners and tenants, both for wealthy citizens (subject for taxation) and the poor (exempt from the tax). The decile coefficient of inequality was 8.6. Taking into account the specific features of the source, one should think that the indicator of income inequality of the Barnaul population was even higher. Comparison of decile coefficients, as well as the absolute size of the house rental cost, for different groups of the Barnaul population made it possible to conclude that inequality is interconnected with two important features of the urban life. First, the decile coefficient of inequality among immigrants turned out to be much lower than among those assigned to the city. Second, the groups of homeowners and tenants, by contrast, were similar in terms of the decile coefficient of inequality, but significantly different in terms of the average house rental cost. The study provides new statistical data for discussing the problem of inequality in the early 20th century Russia, introduces into circulation previously unused characteristics of the urban society of that period and opens up the possibility of comparing different cities on the basis of sources newly introduced into scientific circulation.
THE NORTH IN THE “BIG” AND “GRAND” NARRATIVES OF GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Ivanov Alexander S. , Rashevsky Vasily V. ,   Memorial complex of pioneer geologists “House of F. K. Salmanov”, Surgut Museum of Local History; Tyumen State University
Published: March 2022

Based on the analysis of a series of biographical interviews, the article attempts to present the elaboration of the socio-cultural concept of “North” as part of the socially determined process of structuring the biographies of members of the professional team of geologists, to include the memory of the team of geologists in the broad socio-cultural context of the era. The analysis of various types of narratives (“big” and “grand”) of geological exploration allows the authors to trace the creation of a chain of interconnected stories that connect us with the community of historical origin and the totality of their experiences. The article shows that the abstract images of the North, in the stories of ordinary geologists, as a territory of progress and advanced development, are replaced by the metaphor of “construction through whole life”, which connects their individual northern experiences, linking them to buildings, organizations and figures of the past and present. F. K. Salmanov was a figure of memory who integrated the “big” narratives of the participants of geological exploration into the “pyramid” of narratives of All-Russian memory. His “grand” version of the narratives goes beyond the “North”. The post-Soviet texts are imbued with the motives of the emancipation of the geological community, and Salmanov himself is represented in them as the creator of a professional community with not only northern, but a unique Siberian experience. The geologist’s use of scale-switching practices marks steps towards transforming the “big” narrative of F. K. Salmanov’s contribution to the “grand” history on a national scale, and texts in the service of the present and future of geological community and the entire country.
NOTIONS OF SIBERIA’S INDUSTRIAL FORESTS AMONG SPECIALISTS IN THE SOVIET UNION, LATE 1940s–1991
Authors:   HSE University, Kochetkova Elena A.
Published: March 2022

This article examines the notions of Siberia’s industrial forests among Soviet specialists in the context of colonization of Eastern regions of the USSR from the late 1940s to the late 1980s. It pays a particular attention to how specialists perceived forests of Eastern virgin lands and what were their expectations about industrial forest exploitation and wood harvesting. The analysis is based upon professional publications about the tension between so called “old” (mainly North-West and the Urals) and “new” (the Siberian region) forests. The author raises the question of the meaning that Soviet specialists placed on the newly colonized forests within the industrial development. The article demonstrates that foresters replicated the state rhetoric about “virgin” lands seeing the new technologies of colonization as a possibility for solving the problem of resource supply in the industry which became visible in the period under study. The development of forest resources and timber industry construction with the help of the latest technologies have been among the most important tasks set by specialists since the late 1940s. Many specialists hoped to start a new page in forest exploitation via the rational and complex, as they called it, approach to wood harvesting and processing. This was to minimize the risks and losses associated with forest exploitation in old industrial areas. However, the lack of funding and infrastructural impediments including difficult access to new forest reserves complicated the colonization drive and was perceived by specialists as a transfer of old problems (problems typical for the ‘old’ forests) to ‘new’ regions. In the course of colonization during the period between the late 1940s and 1980s professional enthusiasm of earlier decades changed to disappointment about the practice of forest colonization in the Soviet Eastern lands.
THE 1928–1929 NADEZHDINSK CASE: CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE TAGIL DISTRICT PARTY COMMITTEE AND THE URAL REGIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE VKP(b)
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Вranch of the RAS, Vorobyev Sergei V.
Published: March 2022

The article uses example of the Nadezhdinsk case to show political daily life of the local and district Party-Soviet nomenklatura, which carried out various activities, performed administrative functions, interacted with higher authorities, and defended local group interests. The emergence of the Nadezhdinsk case was provoked by N. Kharitonov, correspondent of “Ural’skiy rabochiy” newspaper. According to the results of his business trip to Nadezhdinsk, he submitted two letters and a memo to the newspaper’s editorial office, in which he described situation in the Nadezhdinsk party organization. The article analyzes the results of verification of Kharitonov’s materials by district commission, Moscow commission and regional control commission. It is demonstrated that the Nadezhdinsky case developed against the background of difficult and tense relations between the Tagil district committee and the Ural regional committee of the VKP(b). This circumstance had a significant impact on the findings of the district commission. The commission rejected the correspondent’s main charges, accused him of slander, political blackmail and links with trotskyists. The Tagil district committee supported the commission, defending its leader, I. F. Maslennikov, and accusing the regional Party committee of scheming against the district Party organization. Both the regional administration and the Moscow inspectors did not agree with the conclusions of the district commission, recognizing them as biased and prejudiced. In the course of their own inquiry, they encountered opposition to their work from the district leadership and found that the district commission used unworthy methods of verification. Because of the conflict situation around this investigation, local and district administrators involved in the Nadezhdinsk case were dismissed, mainly due to their misconduct during the investigation.
ECONOMIC INEQUALITY AND SOVIET EGALITARIANISM: THE IDEAS AND IDEALS FROM STALIN TO KHRUSHCHEV
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Vodichev Evgeny G. ,   National Research Tomsk State University
Published: March 2022

The problem of economic inequality is of great importance for understanding the causes of socioeconomic and political collisions in society. At the same time, the use of traditional conceptual approaches in the study of the differentiation of Soviet society has just limited possibilities. In a society where property relations are absent, economic categories used to analyze inequality (such as income, share in total wealth, consumption opportunities, etc.) require specific interpretations that differ from their market connotations. The paper aims at determining the key factors of real socio-economic inequality and the balance of “the ideas and ideals” of economic egalitarianism and inequality in the doctrine of Stalinism and in the ideologemes of the “Khrushchev Thaw”. It explains differentiation in the income of the population. The socio-economic basis of “classical Stalinism” is interpreted as a system of status hierarchy. The specifics of Khrushchev’s socioeconomic policy are presented through the prism of egalitarianism and consumerism. The place of these ideologemes in the main doctrinal document of the era — the 3rd programme of the CPSU — is shown as well. It is concluded that within the framework of the existing system, the model of “consumer society” came into conflict with the traditional model of administrative economy and society stratified on non-economic grounds, and obviously lost to the latter. Differentiation of income, which demonstrated a decreasing trend, did not mean at all a decrease in inequality in consumption, which was determined by the place in the hierarchy of status.

A gestão do arranjo físico assume fundamental importância na busca da melhoria na qualidade do ambiente de trabalho e do desempenho dos processos como um todo. Um planejamento adequado, com o uso de estratégias atuais baseadas em estudos do campo motivacional, ergonomia, mobiliário, layout e, mais recentemente, da chamada neuroarquitetura, pode oferecer diversos benefícios para a organização, com pessoas mais motivadas e satisfeitas, maior facilidade nos processos e na movimentação dos materiais e pessoas, com redução de custos e tempo nas operações. No âmbito das unidades administrativas do Poder Judiciário, isso se mostra fundamental, tendo em vista a natureza das atividades, muitas vezes prolongadas e repetitivas inibindo o funcionamento mental do colaborador, o uso intensivo do computador e poucas pausas. Nesse sentido, esse artigo busca destacar a relação entre o ambiente de trabalho e o sucesso organizacional como um todo, sem objetivar um estudo de caso específico. São trazidos conceitos a serem aplicados no ambiente de trabalho, de modo que se obtenha maior eficácia na prestação do serviço público, com foco nas chamadas atividades “meio”, relacionadas às unidades administrativas do Poder Judiciário.

Global warming is a threat to plants. A warming of 1.5 – 2℃ in the tropics is predicted to cause crop yield reductions in Southeast Asia and increase the risks for both heat waves and flooding. It is predicted that by around the mid-century period (2040 - 2069), the mean temperature in Singapore can increase by 2oC to 29.6℃ in a Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 scenario. This temperature change can impact food crops and heat-vulnerable plants, threatening our food supply and increasing the risk of extinction of vulnerable plant species. Ipomoea Aquatica, also known as the Kangkong, is a heat-tolerant tropical vegetable in Southeast Asia and used in local dishes. To study whether this plant can grow well in global warming temperatures, we exposed the Kangkong to the predicted increase of 2℃ for three weeks. A range of climate variables was recorded through the use of Arduino sensors and physical changes to the Kangkong plants such as the heights of the Kangkong in each set-up were also measured. By the 17th day, the Kangkong in the control set-up overtook the one in the increased temperature set-up in height.

Published: March 2022

The article discusses the special personal traits of amateur translators and points out the common and the individual characteristics thereof. Based on the data received from the author’s interviews with amateurs and the results of previous similar research, a conclusion is drawn that the most powerful motivating factors for the respondents are desire to help people who do not speak a certain language, urge to share some information with them, and the unfulfilment of their own needs as translation consumers. Still, the differences in amateurs’ backgrounds and the countless number of these translators hinder the highlighting of common features for the entire class

The expansion of the space of cooperation between the countries of the Asian region in the Far East has increased significan tly in the XXI century. All major universities of the Russian Far East annually accept foreign students, most of whom come from China to study various specialties – technical, humanitarian. Training in the art of artistic enamel is a special kind of international cooperation, because it combines many ethnic, psychological, and pedagogical materials, requiring knowledge of the historical and cultural nature of educational traditions and its state in China and Russia. The article talks about the historical, cultural, ideological, ethno-psychological concepts that filled the space of international contacts in the educational process of studying the ancient art of artistic enamel.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University., E.S. Bakhtueva
Published: March 2022

The methods of philological topology, established within the anthropocentric paradigm, appear to be useful not only for studying the functioning of quotations in discourse, but also for designing dictionaries of quotations to make them an effective tool both for native and non-native speakers. The conclusions drawn are based on the analysis of how the most popular quotations are actually used by native and non-native speakers of the English language.
PHRASEOLOGICAL-PAREMIOLOGICAL ASPECT OF A LANGUAGE IDENTITY IN THE SYNCHRONOUS LINGUACULTURE
Authors:   State University of Land Use Planning (Moscow)., E.N. Antonova
Published: March 2022

The article presents an analysis of semantically stable units of the Russian language in the structure of the linguistic identity through the prism of discursive synchrony. Phraseological and paremiological descriptions are considered as a facet of linguistic culture, operating, along with traditional phraseology (including paremiology), phraseological neoplasms, or neo-phraseologisms. The emergence and functioning of these units is manifested especially figuratively in the structure of the linguistic identity, developing synchronously with modern society, which is reflected in this study. In addition, particular descriptive approaches to determining the pragmatic status of paremias containing a structural, semantic or structural-semantic anthropomorphic component are commented on in the work. The language units selected from the lexicographic fund of modern philology are presented as illustrative content, the conditions for the implementation of anthropomorphic techniques are justified. Examples of the functioning of these units in the structure of a linguistic identity are given, which allows us to talk about the potential possibilities of verbalization of the anthropomorphic conceptosphere. The selected linguistic material in one way or another captures the experience of previous generations, the ethnocultural characteristics of the nation, the mental-intellectual level of the cultural community, etc., demonstrating aspectual features of the formation of linguistic identity.

The occurrence of neuroinflammation after the failure of neural tube closure, resulting in spina bifida aperta, is well established but whether or not neuroinflammation contributes to damage to the neuroepithelium prior to and during closure is not known. Neuroinflammation may occur at different time periods after perturbation to the developing spinal cord. Evidence suggests that early neuroinflammation is detrimental, whereas the later chronic phase of neuroinflammation may have useful roles. The role of neuroinflammation in neural tube defects is complex. It is important to make the distinction of whether neuroinflammation is important for neuroprotection or detrimental to the neural tissue. This may directly be influenced by the location, magnitude and duration of the insult, as well as the expression of neurotrophic or neurotoxic molecules. The current understanding remains that the chronic damage to the developing spinal cord is likely due to the chemical and mechanical damage of the exposed neural tissue owing to the aggressive intrauterine environment, described as the “two-hit mechanism”. Astrogliosis in the exposed spinal cord has been described in animal models of spina bifida after the failure of closure during embryonic life. Still, its association with neuroinflammatory processes is poorly understood. In this review, we will discuss the current understanding of neuroinflammation in neural tube defects, specifically spina bifida, and highlight inflammation-targeted strategies that may potentially be used to treat this pathophysiological condition.
Sfenks Figürünün Selçuklu Çini ve Seramiğindeki İkonografik Yolculuğu
Authors: ÇORAKLI Başak
Published: March 2022

Aslan gövdeli, insan başlı ve kartal kanatlı sfenks, ne insan ne de hayvan ancak her ikisinden de özellikler taşıyan melez anatomisi ile düş ya da efsane yaratığı da denilen fantastik bir figürdür. Antik Mısır’dan itibaren Suriye, Anadolu, Mezopotamya, Pers, Yunan ve Roma gibi kadim kültür çevrelerinin fantastik yaratıklar bezeme repertuvarında önemli bir yer tutmuştur. Bedensel ve ruhani gücün birleşimini, güneş tanrısı Ra’yı, tanrısal gücü, kraliyet saygınlığını, kutsallığı, bilgeliği ve ihtiyatı sembolize etmiştir. Bilinen en eski örneği Büyük Gize Sfenksi’nden itibaren geçirdiği kültürlerarası değişimin izinin kısaca sürüldüğü bu çalışmanın merkezini, sfenks figürünün ikonografik yolculuğundaki önemli durak yerlerinden Selçuklu devri çini ve seramiğindeki tasvirleri oluşturmaktadır. Devrin sfenks tasvirleri figürün stilizasyon özellikleri ve yer aldığı ikonografik sahnelere göre tasnif edilerek incelenmiştir. Çini ve seramiklerde görülen “tek sfenks tasvirleri” figürün stilizasyon özellikleri yanı sıra etkileşim kaynakları ve diğer sanat dallarındaki paralel örnekleriyle birlikte ele alınmıştır. Büyük Selçuklu seramiklerinde rastlanan hükümdar-taht, avcı-süvari, orman temalı av sahnesi, müzisyen ve saray eğlenceleri gibi temalarda tespit ettiğimiz örnekleri ise “ikonografik sahnelerde sfenks tasvirleri” başlığı altında incelenmiş; figürün sahnelerdeki sembolik anlamı ve kompozisyon şeması açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda 12- 13. yüzyıl arasında üretilen çini ve seramiklerde görülen sfenks figürünün Anadolu ve Büyük Selçuklu tasvirleri arasındaki farklılıkları ortaya konulmuştur.

The coronavirus pandemic has affected most fields, including education, and most lessons have had to be conducted as distance education. In this study, it is aimed to compare student success in face-to-face exams with that in distance exams in the Physics I course. The sample consisted of 167 students who took a multiple-choice exam in distance education in the 2020-2021 academic year and 155 students who took the multiple-choice exam in face-to-face education in the 2019-2020 academic year. In the first phase of the study, the questions asked in both types of exams were classified according to Bloom’s taxonomy, and then descriptive and comparative statistics were used. As a result, according to Bloom’s taxonomy, the majority of the questions asked were at the application level. In the statistical analysis, it was determined that the averages of both groups were close to 45 out of 100, and there was no significant difference between the group averages as a result of the t-test. Accordingly, it has been concluded that the use of online exams during the pandemic as an alternative to face-to-face exams in normal processes will not make a significant difference.
Tribological properties of MoS2 particles as lubricant additive on the performance of statically loaded radial journal bearings
Authors: BAŞ Hasan
Published: March 2022

It is very important to reduce power losses for plain bearings used in industry and especially in automobiles. In recent years, inorganic compounds have been added to the engine oils to reduce friction in plain bearings and increase their performance. In this study, the effects of additive oil obtained by adding 1% by weight Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) to the base hydraulic (or lubricating) oil (Shell Tellus 10) on the statically loaded radial journal bearing performance were experimentally investigated. As a result of experiments, it was determined that MoS2 added engine oil showed less friction behavior by forming a better oil film compared to the base oil at increasing bearing load and temperatures, and therefore exhibited less wear and power loss.
A critical evaluation of maximum power point tracking techniques for PV systems working under partial shading conditions

Published: March 2022

Photovoltaic (PV) energy is a promising source of renewable energy which is sturdy and environmentally friendly. PV generation systems, once installed, produce electricity from solar irradiance without emitting greenhouse gases. To maximize the output power of PV systems, the maximum power point tracking system has been employed (MPPT). The MPPT constitutes a fundamental part of PV systems. In recent years, a large number of MPPT techniques have been proposed. This paper is set up to critically review some of the proposed maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques to handle the emergence of multiple MPPs in PV panel characteristics due to the partial shading conditions (PSCs). To define the working principle and the pros and cons of the different proposed techniques clearly and sequentially, they are divided into three groups as follows: conventional MPPT techniques, improved MPPT techniques and artificial intelligence- based MPPT techniques to deal with PSCs. The paper also critically summarizes the findings in terms of their performance in capturing the global maximum power point (GMPP) for PV systems operating under PSCs.
