Published: December 2022

In this era, cloud computing is used in various fields like industry, military, college, etc. for various services and storage of huge amount of data. Data stored in this cloud can be accessed or retrieved on the users request without direct access to the server computer. But the major concern regarding storage of data online that is on the cloud is the Security. This Security concern can be solved using various ways, the most commonly used techniques are cryptography and steganography. But sometimes a single technique or algorithm alone cannot provide high-level security. So we have introduces a new security mechanism that uses a combination of multiple cryptographic algorithms of symmetric key and steganography. In this proposed system, RC6 (Rivest Cipher 6), AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and Blowfish algorithms are used to provide security to data. All the algorithms use 128-bit keys. LSB steganography technique is used to securely store the key information. Key information will contain the information regarding the encrypted part of the file, the algorithm and the key for the algorithm. File during encryption is split into three parts. These individual parts of the file will be encrypted using different encryption algorithm simultaneously with the help of multithreading technique. The key information is inserted into an image using the LSB technique. Our methodology guarantees better security and protection of customer data by storing encrypted data on a single cloud server, using AES, RC6 and Blowfish algorithm.

Collocation stations in space geodesy and their requirements
Authors: С.П. Кузин,
Published: December 2022

Станции колокации в космической геодезии играют особенную роль, являясь, с одной стороны, станциями, на которых выполняются обычные геодезические измерения, но в то же время, с другой стороны, являясь станциями, связывающими различные технологии спутниковой геодезии, что позволяет производить оценку качества, точности и взаимную проверку результатов отдельных технологий космической геодезии. Создание сети станций колокации является обязательным условием для построения и мониторинга любой глобальной системы отсчета. В последнее десятилетие имеет место все возрастающая тенденция создания станций с одновременным размещением оборудования различных спутниковых технологий (станции колокации). Станции колокации должны соответствовать определеным требованиям с точки зрения установленного на них измерительного оборудования. В работе выполнен обзор существующих российских станций колокации, обозначены пути их развития и приведены требования к ним.

Colocation stations in space geodesy play a special role, being, on the one hand, stations on which ordinary geodetic measurements are performed, but at the same time, on the other hand, being stations linking various satellite geodesy technologies, which allows evaluating the quality, accuracy and mutual veri cation of the results of individual space geodesy technologies. A network of collocation stations is a prerequisite for building and monitoring any global reference system. In the last decade, there has been an increasing tendency to create stations with simultaneous placement of equipment of various satellite technologies (colocation stations). The colocation stations must meet certain requirements in terms of the measuring equipment installed on them. The author reviews the existing Russian collocation stations, outlines the ways of their development and provides requirements for them.
Meteorite Križevci (Croatia) and meteoroid stream Cancrid
Authors: А.К. Терентьева, , С.И. Барабанов,
Published: December 2022

На основании анализа более 500 орбит метеороидных и болидных роев по опубликованным каталогам нами была установлена связь метеорита Križevci, порожденного болидом 4 февраля 2011 г. над Хорватией [1] с метеороидным роем Канкрид (No. 166 (а), [2, 3]). Известный критерий Саутворта-Хокинса дает величину D SH = 0.128, которая является вполне приемлемой для достаточно хорошего согласия орбит метеорита и роя. Динамический параметр Тиссерана указывает на астероидное происхождение роя и метеорита. Таким образом, выявлен еще один метеоритообразующий рой, который дополняет список 14 метеоритообразующих роев, найденных нами ранее [4]. Эти рои имеют важное значение с точки зрения потенциальной опасности при встрече их с Землей. В работе приводится краткая информация о таком редком явлении, которое названо А. Брезиной [5] «цепным падением» метеоритов.

Based on the analysis of more than 500 orbits of meteoroid and reball streams according to published catalogs, we established the connection of the Križevci meteorite generated by the bolide on February 4, 2011 over Croatia [1] with a meteoroid stream Cancrid (No. 166 (a), [2, 3]). The well-known Southworth-Hawkins criterion gives a value of D SH = 0.128, which is quite acceptable for a fairly good agreement of the orbits of the meteorite and the stream. The dynamic parameter of Tisserand indicates the asteroid origin of the stream and the meteorite. Thus, this is yet another meteorite-forming stream that complements the list of 14 meteorite-forming streams that we found earlier [4]. These streams have an signi cance in terms of potential danger when they approach the Earth. The paper provides brief information about such a rare phenomenon, which is called the “chain fall” of meteorites by A. Brezina [5].
Recurrent activity of accreting astronomical objects
Authors: А.В. Тутуков, , А.В. Федорова,
Published: December 2022

Многостороннее исследование продемонстрировало, что эволюция многих астрономических объектов сопровождается образованием около них газовых дисков. В числе этих объектов - молодые звезды, звезды главной последовательности, вырожденные карлики, нейтронные звезды, черные дыры в составе тесных двойных звезд, сверхмассивные черные дыры в ядрах галактик. Вязкость турбулизованного конвекцией газа, магнитный ветер дисков, аккумуляция газа на внешнем краю диска и приливы могут обеспечить отвод углового момента газа и его аккрецию центральным объектом. Выполнен сравнительный анализ наблюдаемых проявлений аккреционной активности различными астрономическими объектами. Изучена возможность повышения вязкости газа за счет возникновения конвекции. Малая вязкость газа создает условия для его накопления в виде газового тора около аккрецирующего объекта. Увеличение вязкости газа вызывает в итоге «разрядку» этого тора и превращение его в квазистационарный аккреционный диск около аккретора. Активная аккреция турбулизованного конвекцией дискового газа сопровождается, как правило, возникновением магнитного звездного ветра около диска и формированием полярных джетов аккретора, способствующих потере малой части аккрецируемого газа и большей части его углового момента. Таким образом может быть обеспечена наблюдаемая реккурентная аккреционная активность различных астрофизических объектов.

A multilateral study has demonstrated that the evolution of many astronomical objects is accompanied by the formation of gas disks near them. Among these objects are young stars, main sequence stars, degenerate dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes in close binary stars, supermassive black holes in the cores of galaxies. The viscosity of the gas turbulated by convection, the magnetic wind of the disks, the accumulation of gas on the outer edge of the disk and tides can ensure the removal of the angular momentum of the gas and its accretion by the central object. A comparative analysis of the observed manifestations of accretion activity by various astronomical objects is performed. The possibility of increasing the viscosity of the gas due to the occurrence of convection is studied. The low viscosity of the gas creates conditions for its accumulation in the form of a gas torus near the accreting object. An increase in the viscosity of the gas eventually causes the “discharge” of the torus and its transformation into a quasi-stationary accretion disk near the accretor. Active accretion of the turbulized by convection disk gas is usually accompanied by the appearance of a magnetic stellar wind near the disk and the formation of polar jets of the accretor, contributing to the loss of a small part of the accreted gas and most of its angular momentum. Thus, the observed recurrent accretion activity of various astrophysical objects can be ensured.

Представлены результаты новых спектральных наблюдений хромосферно-активной звезды FK Com в 2021 и 2022 г. в Симеизской обсерватории и в обсерватории Синлонг (Xinglong, NAOC, Китай). Рассмотрена эволюция профилей линии H α в спектре FK Com. Новые наблюдения показали, что зарегистрированные нами изменения формы профилей линии H α аналогичны опубликованным ранее в литературе. По нашим спектрограммам, полученным для фаз вращения звезды близким к 0.7 с интервалом около года (в 2021 и 2022 г.) и полученным на обсерваториях KPNO (в 2000 г.) и NOT в 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004 г. для этой же фазы, установлены различия в профилях линии H α . Вероятно, изменения профилей линии H α в большей степени зависят от уровня активности звезды, чем от фазы вращения.

We present the results of new spectral observations of the chromospherically active star FK Com in 2021 and 2022 at the Simeiz Observatory and the Xinglong Observatory (NAOC, China). The evolution of the pro les of the H α line in the spectrum of FK Com is considered. New observations indicate that the changes in the shape of the pro les of the H α line registered by us are similar to those previously published in the literature. According to our spectra obtained for the phases of rotation of the star close to 0.7 with an interval of about a year (in 2021 and 2022) and obtained at the KPNO (2000) and NOT observatories in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004 for the same phase, di erences in the pro les of the H α line are established. Probably, the changes in the pro les of the H α line depend more on the level of activity of the star than on the phase of rotation.

Abstract

Introduction and Objectives: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a frequently seen chronic rheumatoid disease in childhood, which may cause disability and severely affect quality of life (QoL). The aim of present study was to assess relationships between disease activation and socio-cultural status of family, QoL, anxiety level, and depression level in patients with JIA and their parents.

Methods: The study included 100 patients with JIA. The socio-demographic data were obtained from all patients. Child- and parent-reported PedsQL, Beck depression inventory (BDI), Kovacs' Child Depression Inventory (CDI), SCARED child version, CHAQ discomfort and disability scales were applied and JADAS-27 score was calculated in a cross-sectional manner. Then, we compared the characteristics of patients with the scales’ results.

Results: JADAS-27, BDI, and CHAQ discomfort scores were higher and child- and parent-reported PedsQL scores were lower in patients with active disease than patients on remission (p<0.05). The SCARED score was higher in girls than boys. The CHAQ disability score was high in children aged 8-12 years (p<0.05). JADAS-27 and CHAQ disability scores were significantly low in patients with better compliance to treatment. Parental statements about changes in mental health after diagnosis were consistent with results of depression and anxiety scales of children.

Conclusions: Quality of life is adversely affected in children with JIA, which may result in depression and anxiety. In management of JIA, one of our goals should be maintaining QoL. Further comprehensive studies in relationships between QoL and depression, anxiety, socio-demographic parameters, disease activation and social circle of patient are needed.

Introduction:It is essential to evaluate the activation and the articular and extra-articular damage during the Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis(JIA) disease course.

Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the damage status and affecting factors in JIA patients.

Methods:Juvenile Arthritis Damage Index articular(JADI-A) and extra-articular(E) were evaluated in 204 JIA patients who had been followed up for two years andmore. JADI-A and E affecting factors were assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Results: In this study,127(62.6%) of the patients were female. The median age was 13(IQR: 11-16), and the age at diagnosis was 7(IQR: 4-10) years. The median follow-up time was 5(IQR: 4-8) years. Ninety-two(45.3%) patients had comorbid diseases. JADI-A were median:0(min-max: 0-24), JADI-E were median:0(min-max:0-4).The annual attacks number [OR:1,759 (CI:1,300-2,379],p:<0,001),annual eritrocyte sedimantation rate (ESR) [OR:1,072(CI:1,021-1,125),p:0.005] were effective on JADI-A scores. The CRP at the first admission [OR:1.007(CI: 1,000-1,014), p:0.037], the annual ESR[OR:1,051(CI:1,008-1,095),p:0.019] were found to be effective on the JADI-E. The ideal cut-off point of the  attacks number and ESR affecting JADI-A scores were 1.38[AUC:0.734(0.641-0.828),p:0.001] and 14.32[AUC:0.617(0.514-0.721),p:0.027], respectively. The ideal cut-off point of the CRP and ESR affecting JADI-E scores were 13,25[AUC:0,662(0,541-0,782),p:0,009],and15,10[AUC:0.674(0.567-0.780),p:0.002], respectively. Steroid related complications such as, obesity in 12 (5.9%), hirsutism in 3 (1.5%), transient adrenal suppression in 14 (6.9%), 8 (3.9%), and osteoporosis were detectedin 7 (3.4%) patients.

Conclusion: We have shown that parameters used routinely can be helpful to predict damage. We also think that new criteria should be added to the scoring.

Published: December 2022

Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns. Our study aimed to determine the neurodevelopmental outcomes, risk factors, and the relationship between risk factors and prognosis of cases followed up with HIE diagnosis and who were treated with hypothermia treatment. Medical records of 23 patients who were followed up with HIE diagnosis in the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021, and treated with therapeutic hypothermia in the newborn period were retrospectively reviewed. Denver Developmental Screening Test II was used in the developmental evaluation. Neurodevelopment was normal in 12 (52.2%) of 23 cases and retarded for age in 11 (47.8%) cases. Variables such as Sarnat encephalopathy score in the neonatal period, need for prolonged ventilation, presence of severe acidosis at birth, Apgar scores at the 1st and 5th minutes, and abnormal cranial magnetic resonance (Mrg) findings were determined to be major factors in determining neurodevelopmental prognosis in asphyxic cases. The male gender was found to be riskier in terms of prognosis. Of the patients with HIE, retardation was determined for fine motor skills in 52.2%, speaking in 39.1%, gross motor skills in 26.1%, and personal development in 21.7%. Epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and speech disorders were the most common chronic period problems in patients with HIE. Despite therapeutic hypothermia treatment, neurodevelopmental problems are still observed in newborns with HIE. We found that male gender, low Apgar score, severe acidosis, and abnormal cranial Mrg findings in the neonatal period are risk factors in determining the neurodevelopmental prognosis of newborns with HIE. Monitoring and supporting the development of HIE cases with risk factors from the first months of life and intervening in developmental problems promptly are crucial in order to improve long-term outcomes.

Published: December 2022

The most common type of nephrotic syndrome in children is minimal change disease (MCD), which is usually responsive to steroid therapy. Steroid dependency is one of the handicaps in the management of these children. Thus, the early prediction of the disease course may improve treatment strategy. Demographic characteristics and laboratory parameters of 35 patients at the time of MCD diagnosis were retrospectively obtained from the hospital records. There were 23 (65%) patients with steroid sensitive (SSNS) and 12 (35%) with steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS). There was a significant difference between the patients with SSNS and SDNS in terms of age at diagnosis, remission time, and mean values of platelet volume, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, uric acid, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, total cholesterol and creatinine (p = 0.003, p < 0.001, p = 0.013, p = 0.006, p = 0.036, p = 0.02, p = 0.003, and p = 0.034, respectively). The prediction of early markers of steroid dependency can reduce the side effects of steroids and facilitate the use of appropriate drugs.
Başkalık ve Yüz Bağlamında Hakikat ve İmge İlişkisi
Authors: TURAN Hatice
Published: December 2022

Felsefe tarihindeki önemli tartışmalardan biri hakikat (aletheia) ile imge (eikon) arasındaki ilişkinin mahiyetidir. Antik dönemde, özellikle Platon düşüncesinde, imge, hakikatten uzaklığı üzerinden ele alınmaktadır. Kopyanın da kopyası olarak imgeler hakikat alanına dair bir şey söyleyememektedirler. Onlar ancak görünür dünyanın bir formu olarak ortaya çıkmaktadırlar. Modern dönemde ise Cogito merkezli düşünceyle birlikte Logos’un yerini özne almış ve söz merkezli düşünceden göz merkezli bir düşünceye geçilmiştir. Teknolojinin de gelişmesiyle birlikte imge, modern öznenin hayatında önemli bir yer teşkil etmiş ve öznelliğin oluşumunda gerek kendilik gerek başkalık deneyimleri açısından belirleyici bir konuma sahip olmuştur. Bu makalede imgenin hem kendisi hem de kendisinden başkası olduğu sorunsalı akılda tutularak öncelikle Platon’un ortaya koyduğu hakikat-imge ilişkisi ele alınacaktır. Bu iki kutuptan biri lehine karar vermektense ikisi arasındaki ilişki ön plana çıkarılacaktır. Platon’un hakikat bağlamında imgeyle kurduğu ilişki ortaya konduktan sonra Emmanuel Levinas’ın sanat ve imgeye dair görüşlerine yer verilecektir. Yüzün hangi anlamda bir imge olduğu ve hangi anlamda bir imge olmadığı başkalık meselesi üzerinden tartışmaya açılacaktır. Platon’un ve Emmanuel Levinas’ın imgeye dair görüşlerinin birlikte düşünülmesi önemlidir zira Platon, imgenin hakikate olan uzaklığını vurgulayarak duyusal olana mesafeli yaklaşır. Emmanuel Levinas ise bir yandan bunu kabul eder ve Platoncu bir tavır ortaya koyar ama diğer bir yandan da duyusal olanın içindeki hakikati yüz kavramıyla açığa çıkarır. Sonuç olarak imgenin hakikatle olan bağının bu şekilde ele alınması hem imgeye hem de özneye dair bir başkalık alanı açacaktır. Bu başkalık bir yandan imgedeki hakikatin keşfedilmesini sağlarken diğer bir yandan da özneyi imgeye karşı daha uyanık ve farkında hale getirecektir.

Published: December 2022

Virüsler günümüzde hastalıklarının önemli etkenleri arasında yer almaktadır. Viral hastalıklar için tasarlanan tedavilerin yetersizliği yeni tedavi yöntemlerinin tasarlanması ihtiyacını doğurmaktadır. 2019 yılında ortaya çıkan COVID-19 (SARS COV-2) de yeni antiviral ajanların ihtiyacı olduğu görülmüştür. Yapılan çalışmalar sonucu sunulan raporlarda viral direncin artığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, antiviral/antimikrobiyal etkinliğe sahip peptidlerin SARS COV-2 ana proteaz yapısında protein-peptid yanaştırma yöntemiyle araştırılmasıdır. Antiviral aktiviteye sahip antimikrobiyal peptidlerin sayısı hala düşük olsada, hali hazırda farmasötik olarak temin edilebilen antiviral ilaçlar olma yolunda muazzam bir potansiyel göstermektedir. Antiviral etkinliğe sahip alloferon 1, e ctry2801, temporin 1ta, dermaseptin s4, clavanin b, magainin b2 ve magainin b1 peptidlerinin SARS COV-2 ana proteaz (PDB ID:6LU7) yapısında protein çalışması CABSDOCK ile yapılmıştır. Magainin b2 ve peptid ctyr2801 peptidleri bağlanmalarının yüksek düzeyde olduğu, alloferon 1 ve magainin b1 in orta düzeyde bağlanma afinitesinin olduğu, termorin 1ta, dermaseptin s4 ve clavanin b’nin düzey düzeyde bağlanma afinitesine sahip olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuçlarımıza göre; peptid ctyr2801 ve magainin b2’nin, SARS COV-2 ana proteaz yapısında in vivo çalışmalara ve diğer çalışmalara öncülük edeceği düşünülmektedir.
Customer Engagement: An Experiential System View
Authors: Mathews Jose , Lhamo Tshering
Published: December 2022

Purpose - This conceptual research analyses the interrelationship of cognition and affect in the development of customer engagement in the backdrop of the cognitive-experiential self-theory. Design/methodology/approach - The existing literature on the interpretation of customer engagement and cognitive experiential self-theory is used to develop the new theoretical framework of customer engagement Findings -The multidimensional view of the interaction between the intra-psychic subsystems of cognition, affect, inner dispositions and behaviour is the one generally followed by investigators in the analysis of customer engagement. In the dynamics of customer engagement, it has been recognized that cognition and affect individually and interactively contribute to the state of customer engagement as these are considered to be the core processes of engagement. Research limitations - Being a conceptual paper, primary empirical support is lacking to explain the cognitive-experiential system view of customer engagement Practical implications -The mechanisms of customer engagement in the application of marketing strategy and the understanding of the consumption patterns of the consumer provide new insights to the marketing activities and the consumer. Originality/value -The suggested framework of customer engagement provides yet another way of interpreting the same from the perspective of intra-individual sub-systems.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to assess the market efficiency of Indian Stock Markets during the COVID 19 Pandemic. More specifically it tests for the validity of Weak Form Efficiency. Market efficiency is fairly important for various market players as it is an indicator on which they base their investment decision. Design/methodology/approach: Daily data of 10 indices has been gathered for a period of 15 months from March, 2020 to May, 2021. A variety of tests namely the Runs test, Autocorrelation Functions, Correlograms and Box Pierce test have been used to evaluate efficiency levels. Findings: This paper concludes that the Indian Stock Markets are not weak form efficient for the period under consideration, indicating that stock prices do not reflect all possible information and are mispriced. This allows for the use of technical analysis, trading rules and Fundamental analysis to generate abnormal returns. Research Limitations/Implications: The current study is based on particular time frame. Originality/Value: This research is original in contribution to existing literature.

Authors: Murari Krishna , Pathak Suman
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to measure the impact of role models developed through interaction between entrepreneurs and students on self-efficacy and the entrepreneurial intention on Aviation Management Students Design/methodology/approach: Experimental research is conducted by the researchers on 80 students of a management institute offering a unique program of Aviation Management. Role model identification, attitude toward the role model, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention were measured through structural equation modelling techniques. Findings : Exposure to real role models from Aviation Industry who are the first-generation successful entrepreneurs through face-to-face interaction created a positive impact on self-efficacy and behavioural intentions when the students identify themselves with the role models. Successful role models reinforce role model identification, favourable attitudes for entrepreneurship and in turn, augment self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Practical implications: The study brought out that related role models enhance the self-efficacy and entrepreneurial motivation. Hence, this should be part of the curriculum for entrepreneurial education as it would result in intension and finally behaviour to be an entrepreneur. Also, the role model get influence with the students and they become mentors as mentioned by the role models during a discussion with the students. Originality/value Unknown real-life role models in related fields serve as role models by interaction and enhance the impact on the entrepreneurship studies and new entrepreneurs can be developed by arranging interaction between entrepreneurs from a related field.

Authors: Bijoy Kumar
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The study tries to find pattern in the bilateral trade and impact of macro happenings like GFC, Chinese meltdown, Galwan conflict, COVID-19 on it over the period of 1995 to 2020. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study has two dimensions. The first one analyses the monthly export and import figures between India and China product wise (based on HS Code at two-digit level) from Jan2016 to Jan 2021 whereas second one focus on annual data of Indo-China Export and Import along with their annual GDP for 26 years starting from 1994-1995 to 2019-2020. Bilateral trades are analysed by using four tools namely- Bilateral Trade Dependence Index (BTDI); Trade Intensity Index (TII); Herfindahl Hirschmann Market Concentration Index (HHI); and Index of Export market penetration (IEMP). The study has also used Time series analysis to find the relationship between total bilateral trade and GDP of respective countries using Johansen Cointegration Test, Granger Causality Test, and VAR model. Findings: The annual growth rate of import and export for India with China suggest the short-term impact of macro happenings. Research Limitations: The study has several limitations with respect to availability of very recent data, availability of cost components of trade items in respective countries etc. Managerial Implications: Policy makers for India are suggested to work towards import substitution via various programs like Make-in-India with priority of domestic productions of HS Code 85, 84, 29 which are increasing the trade deficit continuously. Originality/Value: This study is an original effort to highlight the dynamic bilateral trade relationships between India and China in last twenty-five years.

Purpose: The current study aims to understand consumer complaints trends in district courts of the newly constructed state of Uttarakhand. Design/Methodology/Approach: A descriptive study was conducted to test the research framework. The secondary data on the consumer complaints filed with district consumer courts of Uttarakhand for 2006-2017 was considered for the study. Regression analysis was employed to understand consumer complaint behaviour trends concerning literacy and pendency rates. Findings: Trend analysis demonstrated that new cases filed with district consumer courts are higher in plain areas (Dehradun, Haridwar & Udham Singh Nagar). Regression analysis depicted a significant negative relationship between the case pendency rate and the number of new cases filed. The relationship between literacy rate and the number of new cases filed was not significant. Managerial Implications: Present study reinforces the significance of consumer courts in addressing to redressal of consumer complaints. It suggests firms and organizations address customers redressals properly; else, customers will take them to court. At the same time, it warns consumer courts about the increasing pendency of cases and urges them to take proper remedial actions. Originality/Value: The study highlighted the role of Third-party action in consumer complaint behaviour and provided an overview of consumer courts' performance and efficiency in 13 districts of Uttarakhand.

This research was carried out to determine the yield and physiological characteristics of İnci, Hasanbey, Seçkin and Aydın chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars at different sowing times and under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions in Çukurova climate conditions. Experiments were carried out in a divided plot design with four replications for two years, in 2012 and 2013 growing years. In the study, two different planting times (winter-early spring) and two different water applications (irrigated and non-irrigated) were applied and some properties related to yield and morphology were examined. The trials were conducted at the Doğankent location in the Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute research area. In the experiments, the main plots were arranged according to sowing time, and the sub-plots consisted of cultivars, and irrigated and non-irrigated plots. As a result of the research, it was determined that sowing time and water applications affected agronomic and morphological characteristics. These changes were observed according to planting times and varieties.

In terms of morphological characteristics, it was determined that there were decreases in summer plantings and non-irrigated conditions in which planting time and irrigation were significantly effective in all four cultivars. Increases were determined in winter plantings compared to summer plantings. Increases in yield and hundred-seed weights under irrigated conditions, increases in yield values, flowering and pod binding values were observed in winter plantings. In terms of two-year average values, a yield of 196.29 kg da-1 was obtained in irrigated conditions and 158.11 kg da-1 in non-irrigated conditions in winter plantings. In terms of two-year average values, 139.67 kg da-1 yield was obtained in irrigated conditions and 121.14 kg da-1 yield was obtained in summer plantings.
Short-Term and Topographic Variations in Ecological Site Description of a Semi-Arid Mountain Rangeland

Deficiencies in the rangeland assessment methods prompted researchers to seek new methodologies. Rangeland Ecological Site Description (RESD), is a method suggested to produce information about the sustainability of the ecological services of the rangelands. Improvability for various ecologies is an advantage of the method. In this study, the short-term variation and the effect of the topographical differences on the RESD method were determined. Suggested ecological indicators were scored at the 60 different locations (20 north, 20 south, 20 summits) of the Bozdağ Rangeland for two years (2019-2020), and the ecological indicator scores were compared using non-parametric tests. Results showed that the RESD did not change in two years but it was lower at the south face considering the north face and summit. The RESD class of the south faces was “fair”, while they were “good” for north faces and summit positions. Variations in slope gradient, light exposure, and grazing practices might be responsible for this difference. RESD method provides wider information about the ecological services of the rangelands. However, this method should be improved to give information that could be used in short-term rangeland management plans, including grazing capacity.
Die Dynamik der Relativa in historischen deutschen Predigten
Authors: Pickl Simon
Published: December 2022

Dieser Beitrag setzt sich anhand des diachronen Predigtenkorpus SermonC (800–1900) mit Wandel und Variation der Relativa in der Sprachgeschichte des Deutschen auseinander. Im Zentrum stehen dabei drei Varianten der Relativsatzeinleitung, der/die/das, welcher/welche/welches und so. Dabei wird insbesondere die Frage untersucht, inwiefern sich die Entwicklungen mit linearen Konzeptionalisierungen von Sprachwandel und Standardisierung vereinbaren lassen. Dazu werden zunächst einige gängige Vorstellungen in diesen Bereichen diskutiert und in Bezug auf ihnen innenwohnende perspektivische Verengungen problematisiert. Dabei wird deutlich, dass übliche Theorien und Methoden der Sprachwandel- und Standardisierungsforschung nichtlineare Prozesse nicht systematisch berücksichtigen. Die Untersuchung des diachronen Korpus zeigt hingegen, dass nichtlineare Prozesse nicht nur vorkommen können, sondern vielfach in verschiedenen Formen auftreten, die durch die linguistische Theoriebildung nicht oder nur peripher erfasst werden. Die Entwicklung der Relativa in historischen Predigten führt vor Augen, dass unvollständige und retrograde Ausbreitungsvorgänge im Sprachwandel sowie Aufbau von Variation in der Standardisierung entgegen gängigen Theorien immer wieder auftreten, was sich in sowohl in regionalen wie konfessionellen Unterschieden im Sprachgebrauch äußert.
Predicative and markedness bias in loan adjectives
Authors: Shaw Marlieke , De Smet Hendrik
Published: December 2022

Previous research on loan word accommodation has shown that English‑origin verbs in Present‑day Dutch and French‑origin verbs in Late Middle English are subject to usage biases. In both language‑contact settings, loan verbs are disproportionally frequent in non‑finite and morphologically unmarked forms as compared to native verbs. The present study demonstrates that accommodation biases are also found in loan adjectives. Concretely, loan adjectives are more prevalent in predicative than in attributive syntactic position as compared to native adjectives (predicative bias), and they are more prevalent in uninflected than in inflected forms (markedness bias). The predicative bias is found to rank stronger than the markedness bias, which is consistent with the findings for verbs. Additionally, biases are more pronounced in the French‑Middle English than in the English‑Dutch contact setting. The findings indicate that direct insertion of loan-words, despite being the cross-linguistically most frequent strategy for loan word integration, is not free of obstacles, possibly due to processing costs specifically associated with loan words.
Lönnrots Werk und Gottlunds Beitrag – Zum Einfluss der Romantik auf die Entstehung des Kalevala
Authors: Niedling Christian
Published: December 2022

Carl Axel Gottlund begann 1814 seine Studien an der Akademie in Turku. Beeinflusst von der Aufklärung, den Schriften Herders und der Romantik unternahm Gottlund ab 1815 Sammlungen finnischer Volksdichtung, bevor er 1816 in Uppsala mit den sog. Phosphoristen in Kontakt kam. In Schweden erschienen auch Gottlunds Pieniä runoja Suomen poijille ratoxi. Bereits 1817 formulierte Gottlund in seiner Rezension zu Fr. Rühs‘ Finland und seine Bewohner den Gedanken eines aus finnischen Nationalgesängen zu bildenden Epos, einem neuen „Homer, Ossian oder ein neues Nibelungenlied“. Es wurde angemerkt, dass die Referenz auf das Nibelungenlied zu den gängigen Topoi gehörte – eine Aufarbeitung der frühen Nibelungen-Rezeption in Finnland und Schweden ist jedoch nicht erfolgt. Gottlund sammelte in Schweden den ersten Beleg des Sampo, den Lönnrot ins Zentrum des Kalevala (1835) stellte – ohne auf Gottlunds Vorarbeiten zu verweisen. Gottlund kritisierte das Kalevala und legte mit Runola einenGegenentwurf vor. Nicht allein in der Konkurrenz um die 1850 eingerichteteProfessur für Finnischen Sprache zeigte sich auch späterhin der Antagonismus Lönnrotsund Gottlunds.

Der Beitrag zeichnet den Weg der Nibelungenrezeption nach Finnland und Schweden in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 19. Jahrhunderts nach und arbeitet am Beispiel Gottlunds Einflüsse deutscher Strömungen an den Universitäten in Turku und Uppsala heraus.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Efektivitas Pelaksanaan Musyawarah Perencanaan Pembangunan Desa di Desa Timusu Kecamatan Liliriaja Kabupaten Soppeng yang mendapat peringkat pertama dari 70 desa/kelurahan yang berada dalam wilayah Kabupaten Soppeng dengan melihat dari  tiga sudut pandang yaitu pra musrenbangdes, pelaksanaan musrenbangdes dan pasca musrenbangdes. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kualitatif,di dalamnya terdapat beberapa tahapan. Pertama instrument pengumpulan data terdiri dari pedoman wawancara, pedoman observasi dan pedoman telaah dokumen. Kedua prosedur pengumpulan data yang diperoleh dari hasil pengamatan di lapangan, wawancara maupun telaah dokumen. Ketiga analisis data yaitu reduksi data dan verifikasi data. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa yang membuat Desa Timusu mendapatkan peringkat pertama karena partisipasi masyarakat saat pelaksanaan musrenbangdes dan penyusunan RKPDes yang diselesaikan dengan cepat. Adapun kegiatan saat pra musrenbangdes belum efektif karena ada satu dusun didalam desa ini yang tidak melaksanakan kegiatan musrenbang pada tingkat dusun. Pelaksanaan musrenbangdes sudah berjalan dengan efektif yang dilihat dari diskusi panel, pemaparan dan pembahasan draf rancangan awal RKP Desa, kesepakatan prioritas kegiatan sektor/urusan pembangunan desa dan musyawarah penetuan tim delegasi desa. Pasca musrenbangdes sudah berjalan dengan baik tetapi belum terlalu efektif hal ini dikarenakan tim delegasi yang akan dikirim pada musrenbang tingkat kecamatan tidak dibekali melalui proses kegiatan belajar bersama karena dianggap telah berpengalaman.

Introducción: La dermatitis atópica es un trastorno cutáneo atópico, inflamatorio de tipo crónico con aparición más frecuente en niños antes de los 5 años de edad. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar factores de riesgo clínicos y sociodemográficos asociados a dermatitis atópica en un grupo de niños escolares en Riobamba-Ecuador.

Métodos: El presente estudio observacional incluyó escolares en el periodo junio - agosto 2020. Con una muestra probabilística se incluyeron casos con dermatitis atópica (DA) y un grupo control. Las variables fueron Dermatitis atópica, edad, sexo, antecedentes familiares y personales de atopia, exposición materna al humo del tabaco en el período de gestación o en la infancia, duración de lactancia materna exclusiva, nivel de instrucción de los padres, tipo de residencia, tipo de familia, presencia de niños mayores y mascotas en casa, frecuencia de aseo, duración de la ducha. Se presenta Odds Ratio con el intervalo de confianza del 95%.

Resultados: Se incluyeron 175 escolares, 28 (14.2%) con DA. OR para exposición a tabaquismo pasivo en la infancia = 3.7, OR para familias pequeñas = 2.5  (P=0.042), OR para el antecedente materno de rinitis alérgica 2.6, OR para dermatitis atópica en padres = 9.0.

Conclusión: Se confirma que el antecedente familiar de enfermedades como rinitis alérgica y dermatitis atópica así como el antecedente personal de enfermedades que forman parte del espectro atópico diferentes de DA, la exposición al humo del tabaco en el hogar y la convivencia con un reducido número de integrantes dentro de la familia son factores de riesgo asociados a dermatitis atópica.

The subject of this study is the use of mixed materials based on the principle of versatility in the field of plastic arts, in other words, the use of mix media. This study, which is related to the combination of ice and ceramic-derived objects as an innovative mixed material usage example, is a new application method in the production of ice artifacts and a proposition that diversifies the experimental work possibilities. The subject of the study and the main elements of the application, “ice and ceramics”, are brought together for the first time in the Ata Ice Works Museum and Sculpture Workshop, which is the first and only ice works museum of our country. In this museum, where works are produced only from ice material, new, different and original searches with experimental methods and approaches are met thanks to the support of museum coordinators and environment equipment. From this point of view, on the axis of this study, the experimental approach processes to the problem of using ice material and ceramic-derived materials such as terracotta, glass, porcelain, and the results of heat monitoring during the transformation of water into ice are examined. Thus, this study includes the analytical implications of experiencing a creative process with its original and technical details, from the preparation stage to the incubation stage, from the enlightenment to the design and realization stage. At the same time, this study can be evaluated as a piece-by-piece analytical work, after the design and application stages of 7 ice blocks, first in the exhibition area of Ata Buz Works Museum, where the works were shaped, and then in the 7th International Art Ankara Contemporary Art Fair, with the name "Smithereens".
