La Covid 19 à Dakar (Sénégal). Entre mesures sanitaires, vécu quotidien, traitement médiatique et psychose
Authors: Diagne Ndiouga
Published: October 2022

La Covid 19 est apparue comme l’une des pandémies les plus virulentes de l’histoire de l’humanité. Comme « une temporalité de surprise », elle s’est érigée en maître. Elle a aussi fait naitre une peur et a entrainé une psychose sans précédent auprès des populations. Au Sénégal, son apparition a amené l’État à prendre plusieurs mesures sanitaires qui ont engendré des répercussions dans le vécu quotidien et collectif de la population. Son traitement médiatique a mobilisé tous les segments de la société. Entre état d’urgence, mesure sanitaire, couvre-feu, les séquelles de cette maladie ont amené à une modification des habitudes quotidiennes de la population sénégalaise. Ce texte est le fruit de réflexions d’un confiné errant. Il décrit et analyse à la fois les mesures sanitaires prises par l’État du Sénégal face à la Covid 19, les discours « covidiaires » nés de cette situation, le vécu quotidien d’un confiné ainsi que les leçons que nous pouvons tirer d’un contexte marqué par la peur et la psychose et nous amène à réfléchir sur le traitement médiatique autour de cette maladie dans le dénouement de ce pêle-mêle.

Authors: Alvarenga Flôr Rafaela , Ota Daniela Cristiane
Published: October 2022

Neste trabalho, busca-se integrar os conceitos de identidade cultural, territorialidade, colonialidade, história e a intersecção com o contexto que vivem as mulheres de Ponta Porã (Brasil), município que faz fronteira com Pedro Juan Caballero (Paraguai). Para isso, usar-se-á notícias publicadas em Ponta Porã nos anos de 2019 a 2021, analisadas com o protocolo de Análise de Cobertura Jornalística (ACJ) para entender como é a abordagem e de que maneira são produzidos os materiais sobre o tema. Entre os resultados encontrados estão: notas com características de obituário, nenhuma atualização sobre os casos investigados pela polícia e pouco ou nenhum aprofundamento na temática da violência contra a mulher, mesmo que observadas de maneira ampla.
Exploratory meta-analysis of hypoxic transcriptomes using a precise transcript reference sequence set
Authors: Ono Yoko , Bono Hidemasa
Published: October 2022

Gene expression studies are intrinsically biased, with many studies influenced by concomitant information such as gene–disease associations. This limitation can be overcome using a data-driven analysis approach without relying on ancillary information. The FANTOM CAGE–Associated Transcriptome project provides a comprehensive meta-assembly of the human transcriptome using coding and noncoding genes. Hypoxia strongly influences gene expression; in addition, noncoding RNA (ncRNA) metabolism is down-regulated in response to hypoxic stimuli. We evaluated the differential response of various transcripts to hypoxia by determining their hypoxia responsiveness scores. Enrichment analysis revealed that several genes associated with ncRNA metabolism, particularly those involved in ribosomal RNA processing, were down-regulated in response to hypoxia. Previously published information from the FANTOM CAGE–Associated Transcriptome project was suitable for meta-analysis of the transcriptome sequencing data from both coding and ncRNAs and to evaluate the hypoxia responsiveness of target transcripts and relationship between sense–antisense transcripts from the same locus. Our results may facilitate functional annotation of various transcripts including ncRNAs, allowing for both sense and antisense and coding and noncoding evaluations.
Assessment of the Current Ecological State of Soils on the Western Coast of Lake Baikal (On the Example of Soils of the Coastal Part of the Lake, the Delta and the Basin of the Goloustnaya River)
Authors:   V. B. Sochava Institute of Geography SB RAS, Kostukova M. S.
Published: October 2022

The work was carried out on the territory of the Goloustnensky municipality, located on the western shore of the lake Baikal and part of the Baikal National Park. The article presents the data of the modern assessment of their ecological state. 10 test sites were laid in the Goloustnaya River basin, its delta, as well as in the forest of the coastal part of the lake. Baikal. To assess the current state of soils, concentrations of petroleum products and heavy metals (cadmium, lead, cobalt, nickel, copper, chromium) in them were determined. The results of the study showed that the content of petroleum products in soil samples is minimal and below the permissible level of pollution. The content of cobalt, nickel, copper and chromium has been found to exceed Clark and regional background values. The increased concentrations of metals are most likely due to natural factors – namely, the composition of the underlying rocks, rather than anthropogenic impact.
The mortality modeling of covid-19 patients using a combined time series model and evolutionary algorithm
Authors: Tahyudin Imam , Wahyudi Rizki , Maulana Wiga , Nambo Hidetaka
Published: October 2022

COVID-19 pandemics for as long as two years ago since 2019 gives many insights into various aspects, including scientific development. One of them is the fundamental research of computer science. This research aimed to construct the best model of COVID-19 patients’ mortality and obtain less prediction errors. We performed the combination methods of time series, SARIMA, and Evolutionary algorithm, PARCD, to predict male patients who died because of COVID-19 in the USA, containing 1.008 data. So, this research proposed that SARIMA-PARCD has a powerful combination for addressing the complex problem in a dataset. The prediction error of SARIMA-PARCD was compared with other methods, i.e., SARIMA, LSTM, and the combination of SARIMA-LSTM. The result showed that the SARIMA-PARCD has the smallest MSE value of 0.0049. Therefore, the proposed method is competitive to implement in other cases with similar characteristics. This combination is robust for solving linear and non-linear problems.
An approach for linguistic multi-attribute decision making based on linguistic many-valued logic
Authors: Le Anh Phuong , Tran Hoai Nhan , Nguyen Thi Uyen Thi , Tran Dinh Khang
Published: October 2022

There are various types of multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems in our daily lives and decision-making problems under uncertain environments with vague and imprecise information involved. Therefore, linguistic multi-attribute decision-making problems are an important type studied extensively. Besides, it is easier for decision-makers to use linguistic terms to evaluate/choose among alternatives in real life. Based on the theoretical foundation of the Hedge algebra and linguistic many-valued logic, this study aims to address multi-attribute decision-making problems by linguistic valued qualitative aggregation and reasoning method. In this paper, we construct a finite monotonous Hedge algebra for modeling the linguistic information related to MADM problems and use linguistic many-valued logic for deducing the outcome of decision making. Our method computes directly on linguistic terms without numerical approximation. This method takes advantage of linguistic information processing and shows the benefit of Hedge algebra.
Caring for the Ordinary: Care Work, Technology, and Dementia in Long-term Eldercare in Japan
Authors:   , Sait Callan
Published: October 2022

What constitutes good care in aging Japan? In this thesis, I explore eldercare practices from the vantage point of eldercare facilities in the Kansai region of Japan. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in five long-term facilities from 2018 to 2020, I describe how good care is achieved through “caring for the ordinary”, which is inextricably tied to everyday practices of caring. Taking up the mundane and everyday practices of good care helps reveal the dilemmas posed by the convergence between Japan’s macro-level socio-economic and demographic shifts and the micro-level challenges posed by dementia. This convergence problematises assumptions about ‘good care’ by demonstrating how the production and maintenance of “the ordinary” is a key achievement of care work. I make this argument in two parts: first, I demonstrate how care workers produce ordinary life for residents at these care facilities through attention to relationality, temporality, and narrativity. I argue that by attending to these conceptual spaces, care workers and residents bridge imagined divisions in care work that separate karada (physical, bodily) care and kokoro (mental, emotional, spiritual) care – care for the body and care for the person – in order to maintain a sense of ordinary sociality in these extraordinary spaces. In the second part of the thesis, I describe how emerging technologies and sociotechnical imaginaries intersect with these care practices. By tracing out governmental and economic initiatives, I consider the sociotechnical imaginaries that determine how and why certain technologies are developed and incorporated into care. I also show why technological fixes to contemporary issues in eldercare often present additional obstacles as they disrupt the ordinary by bifurcating karada care and kokoro care. By bringing these two modes of analysis together, I argue that the creation and maintenance of a local sense of ordinariness is both a crucial method and vital achievement of caring practice. Indeed, attention to the production of the ordinary sheds light not only on the socio-demographic problems facing Japan as it ages, but also the kinds of lived dilemmas aging populations produce in sites of care work. In other words, I show how good care for elderly residents is caring for the ordinary. Such a reconceptualization of care has implications for care practice, anthropological understandings of care and its ethics, and the role of technology in care.
Водне питання як каталізатор конфліктогенності пакистансько-індійських відносин: еволюція та сучасний стан
Authors: Tykhonenko Iryna , Shurkova Oryna
Published: October 2022

У статті здійснено спробу аналізу водного питання у відносинах між Пакистаном та Індією, яке все більше стає детермінантою конфліктогенності між державами з огляду на низку причин. По-перше, зростання потреб у воді зважаючи на економічний та соціальний виміри розвитку обох держав. По-друге, маніпулювання водним питанням у системі двосторонньої взаємодії щодо врегулювання проблеми Кашміру та погрози індійської сторони перекрити доступ Пакистану до води. По-третє, потреба у перегляді умов Договору про розподіл вод річки Інд 1960 р. зважаючи на розвиток мережі гідроелектростанцій Індією та Пакистаном та неефективність інституційного механізму посередництва зі сторони Світового банку. Автори дійшли висновку, що питання розподілу водних ресурсів все більше узалежнюється від діаметрально протилежних підходів Індії та Пакистану до існуючих протиріч та стає поряд з ядерним чинником ще одним фактором уповільненої дії до дестабілізації безпекового середовища у Південноазійському регіоні.
Європейська інтеграція Північної Македонії: виклики ХХІ ст.
Authors: Kravchenko Dmytro
Published: October 2022

У статті увага зосереджена на дослідженні та аналізі міжнародної ситуації, що складалася навколо Республіки Македонія на її шляху до вступу до Європейського Союзу. Показано, як процес визнання Республіки Македонія Європейським Союзом ускладнювався внаслідок суперечностей між країнами-членами ЄС та Республікою Македонія. А саме суперечки з Грецією щодо назви держави, громадянства та елементів державної символіки Республіки Македонія, що розпочались на початку 1990-х рр., призвели до накладання Грецією вето на переговорний процес вступу Республіки Македонія до ЄС та НАТО, яке блокувало переговорний процес з 2008 по 2018 рр. А також історико-лінгвістичні протиріччя з Болгарією та її відмова затвердити переговорну структуру Європейського Союзу щодо Північної Македонії 17 листопада 2020 р., що тривала до липня 2022 року. Звертається увага, що події на європейському рівні вплинули на і без того повільний процес вступу країни до Європейського Союзу. 2019 рік став роком європейських виборів, включаючи вибори до Європейського парламенту, призначення та реструктуризацію Європейської комісії, а також затягнуту проблему Brexit. А обговорення та прийняття вимог Франції щодо нової, складнішої методології вступу до ЄС відклало процес розгляду питання вступу до цієї організації нових членів ще на два роки. Офіційні переговори про вступ до ЄС з Північною Македонією, що розпочались 19 липня 2022 року є важливим фактором, що посилює безпеку та оборону Балкан, забезпечує стабільність регіону, відкриває нові перспективи для держави та громадян Північної Македонії.

Authors: Atamanenko Alla , Martyniuk Nazar
Published: October 2022

Стаття присвячена вивченню формування концепту та визначення значення і проявів наукової дипломатії – одного з різновидів публічної дипломатії. Розглянуто процес формування визначення поняття, зроблено спробу встановити особливості проявів наукової дипломатії в міжнародних відносинах, розглянуто зміст тріади: «наука для дипломатії», «дипломатія для науки», «наука в дипломатії». Автори висвітлили процес формування наукової дипломатії як напряму досліджень, взаємозв’язок між можливостями досягнення науковою дипломатією цілей держави, пов’язаних із її національними інтересами, участю у транснаціональній співпраці та розв’язанням глобальних проблем. Було визначено й сфери практичного застосування наукової дипломатії як інструменту захисту національних інтересів, використання науки для зменшення напруженості між країнами, встановлення міжнародної взаємодії за допомогою наукових проектів у тих випадках, коли така взаємодія неможлива в політичному контексті.
Проблеми та протиріччя екологічної дипломатії КНР
Authors: Habro Iryna
Published: October 2022

У статті розкрито ключові проблеми та протиріччя екологічної дипломатії КНР. Незважаючи на успіхи в співробітництві, між національними інтересами КНР та інтересами світового суспільства в сфері екології залишаються суттєві протиріччя. Це пояснюється тим, що багато екологічних програм КНР й досі базуються не на підпорядкуванні внутрішньої політики міжнародним стандартам, а більше на внутрішньодержавних законах і обмеженнях, прийнятих в КНР. Це викликає обмежену реакцію з боку світової спільноти, створює напруженість із низкою держав, перш за все, держав-сусідів, які відчувають на собі негативні наслідки промислового розвитку Китаю. Суттєвою проблемою екологічної дипломатії КНР можна назвати серйозні екологічні проблеми всередині самого Китаю, внаслідок чого у світі сформувалася думка про те, що економічний розвиток Китаю загрожує не тільки його власній екології, а й обіцяє екологічні проблеми всьому світу. Тому багато країн вимагають від Китаю виконання зобов’язань в області екологічного співробітництва.
Інформаційна складова як ключовий аспект гібридної війни
Authors: Kravchenko Nataliia
Published: October 2022

Стаття присвячена дослідженню ключової сфери гібридного російсько-українського протистояння – інформаційній складовій. Визначаються основні фази російської агресії. Акцентується увага, що активній фазі російської агресії передувала стратегічна інформаційна операція в основі якої була покладена доктрина «русского мира» та «м’яка сила». З наближенням підписання Україною Угоди про асоціацію у Вільнюсі в листопаді 2013 року, початком Євромайдану у грудні 2013 року стратегічна інформаційна операція переростає в стратегію «керованої нестабільності» та запроваджується спеціальна диверсійна операція як її складова, націлена на руйнацію державних структур України, опираючись на внутрішні резерви в українському суспільстві. Визначаються основні механізми впливу на владні структури. Зосереджується увага, що безпосередньо напередодні вторгнення на територію Криму здійснювався масований інформаційно-психологічний вплив на місцеве населення, військовослужбовців ЗСУ, правоохоронні органи тощо. Наголошується на взятті під контроль українського медіа-простору. Вказується, що в інформаційному просторі на Донбасі на початковому етапі російського військового вторгнення використовувалось кліше «Південний Схід», яке з 2017 року зміщується в бік «Новоросії», а згодом в конструкти «ЛНР-ДНР», що реально спрацювали, ідеологічну основу складають радянські стандарти та ідеї «русского мира», просувається ідея особливої донбаської ідентичності та її зв’язок з Росією.
Financial Development, Renewable Energy and Unemployment in North Africa
Authors: Tsaurai Kunofiwa
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The study examined the nexus between financial sector development, renewable energy usage and unemployment (UNEMP) in North African countries. The complementarities between (1) financial development (FIN) and renewable energy usage and (2) economic growth and financial development, and their influence on unemployment was also investigated within the context of North African countries.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Panel data (1992-2019) analysis methods such as fixed effects, fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) were used.

Findings: Financial sector development had a significant unemployment reduction influence. Complementarity variables were also noted to have significantly reduced unemployment.

Implications/Originality/Value: North African countries should therefore craft, develop and implement financial development, renewable energy usage (RENEW) and economic growth enhancement strategies and policies to increase job creation capacity.
Aves acuáticas del estero El Salado, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Authors: Cupul Magaña Fabio Germán
Published: October 2022

El estero El Salado es un cuerpo costero único en la región de Bahía de Banderas, México, que se encuentra sometido a la fuerte presión del crecimiento urbano de la ciudad de Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Su evaluación como hábitat para la avifauna acuática puede contribuir al establecimiento de las bases técnicas para la toma de decisiones acertadas en el diseño de estrategias de conservación y explotación de sus hábitats. Con este fin, de junio de 1996 a mayo de 1997, se realizó una visita mensual al estero. En cada visita se realizaron dos transectos de 250 m de largo, de la boca a la cabeza del estero, de acuerdo al método modificado del censo de transecto en banda. Se determinaron 28 especies de aves acuáticas y se contabilizaron 1,304 individuos. De acuerdo con su presencia a lo largo del año, se registraron 16 especies residentes, 11 residentes de invierno y una migratoria. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la importancia de la zona como espacio de sustentación alimenticia, de descanso y de anidación para aves acuáticas temporales y residentes.

Depredación de una lagartija espinosa de cabeza roja (Sceloporus pyrocephalus) por un carpintero enmascarado (Melanerpes chrysogenys) en el suroeste del Estado de México, México
Authors: Bautista-Trejo Rogelio , Ramírez-Albores Jorge E
Published: October 2022

Reportamos un evento de depredación el 13 de enero de 2018 de una lagartija espinosa de cabeza roja (Sceloporus pyrocephalus) por un carpintero enmascarado (Melanerpes chrysogenys) en un bosque tropical caducifolio en el volcán Gordo, al suroeste del Estado de México. Dicho evento consistió en la observación de un individuo de M. chrysogenys posado en un árbol sujetando con el pico a un individuo de S. pyrocephalus. Melanerpes chrysogenys se alimenta de insectos y de frutos; sin embargo, no se ha reportado que esta especie consume vertebrados. Aunque existen algunos reportes de depredación de reptiles por otro Piciformes, este registro representa el primer caso documentado de depredación de lagartijas para esta especie en México.
Registro notable del gavilán pico de gancho Chondrohierax uncinatus depredando al caracol invasivo Rumina decollata en el lago Cuitzeo
Authors: Monterrubio-Rico Tiberio Cesar , Cancino Murillo Ramón , Lemus Ortiz Elvia
Published: October 2022

Presentamos los primeros registros del gavilán pico de gancho (Chondrohierax uncinatus) para la rivera del lago de Cuitzeo en Michoacán. Observamos una pareja del gavilán pico de gancho en abril y septiembre de 2018, perchando en la misma arboleda de Prosopis laevigata (mezquites). En septiembre se observó a la hembra alimentándose del caracol invasivo Rumina decollata. Esto es notable ya que este caracol invasivo puede alcanzar densidades altas y es dañino para la biodiversidad ya que depreda otros gasterópodos y es plaga de cultivos. El registro del gavilán pico de gancho incrementó a trece las especies de rapaces diurnas registradas para el área de Cuitzeo. Considerando que es inusual observar casos en los que una especie invasiva es depredada por una especie nativa, debe verificarse esta interacción biótica en futuros estudios.
Pediatric healthcare professionals' opinions, attitudes, and vaccine hesitancy toward personal and children’s COVID-19 vaccination
Authors: Tubaş Filiz , Şener Taplak Ayşe , Tatar Sena Berra
Published: October 2022

Background/Aim: Pediatric healthcare professionals are at the forefront of both facilitating an increase vaccine acceptability and reduction in vaccine hesitancy and play a vital role in eliminating vaccine hesitancy of families. In this context, it was thought that the individual pediatric healthcare professional’s vaccine hesitancy could affect successful administration of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. This study aimed to determine the opinions and attitudes of pediatricians and pediatric nurses toward the COVID-19 vaccination and the reasons for vaccine hesitancy. The study also aimed to identify their views and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination in children.
Methods: The survey was carried out as a cross-sectional study between February and May 2021. The study sample consisted of 83 pediatricians and 79 pediatric nurses. Necessary permission was obtained before the study began. Data were collected using questionnaires that had been prepared by researchers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and a chi-squared test.
Results: Almost all pediatricians and more than half of the pediatric nurses reported that they considered getting vaccinated/were vaccinated; however, a greater proportion of nurses were vaccine-hesitant (P = 0.001). Reasons for not being vaccinated/being hesitant among healthcare professionals included harmful ingredients in the COVID-19 vaccines, thinking that vaccines were developed too quickly, vaccine development studies in different phases did not yield conclusive outcomes, hearing from the social media that vaccines are harmful, believing it is not necessary to receive a vaccine that is not included in the routine immunization schedule, and lack of knowledge about vaccines. The majority of the physicians and nurses who participated in the study reported that, if COVID-19 vaccines were available for children, they would not consider advising it or were unsure (P = 0.003). When asked about the reasons for hesitancy, a greater proportion of nurses reported they thought that vaccines had been developed too quickly (P < 0.001) and that the outcomes of vaccine development studies in different phases were not conclusive (P = 0.008).
Conclusion: Healthcare workers serve as role models for vaccination acceptance in the community. Identifying the reasons for vaccine hesitancy among healthcare professionals is key to encouraging vulnerable populations to accept and take the vaccine. Vaccine hesitancy may be countered by comprehensive in-service trainings on vaccine development processes and phases of trials relating to COVID-19 vaccines.

“Tiempos que les tocaron vivir”. Un modo de leer la narrativa latinoamericana contemporánea
Authors: Sánchez María Teresa
Published: October 2022

El trabajo: “Tiempos que les tocaron vivir”. Un modo de leer la narrativa latinoamericana contemporánea propone leer la nouvelle Llamadas de Ámsterdam de Juan Villoro desde el escenario de las narrativas que tratan las consecuencias de la globalización. En esos términos, a partir de la nouvelle, se establecen relaciones con características transversales de la crónica urbana dando cuenta de las posibilidades actuales de narrar la experiencia contemporánea.

Desde los conceptos de contemporaneidad y posmodernidad, relevando aportes y diálogos posibles con la antropología, se propone leer las relaciones personales en la fragmentación de las megaciudades y observar los modos en que la novela muestra una sociedad identificada por imaginarios urbanos.

ECONOMIC BURDEN OF THE MOST COMMON INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN CHILDREN IN SLOVENIA
Authors: Pokrajac Tatjana
Published: October 2022

Background: In Slovenia, infectious diseases are in children are common cause of visits to primary care physicians, of hospital admissions and the cause of death. They also represent a significant economic burden.Methods: We analyzed routinel calculated data from the data bases of the National Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia International Journal of Research Granthaalayah (2022), National Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia (2022) for the time period 2005. We analyzed data with the particular attention on the most frequent or the most expensive infectious diseases of children, Data were classified from recommended literature from CDC Atlanta, according to the most to the International Classification of diagnoses ICD-9 precoded to ICD-10.Results: Our cost estimate is made from a disease costing model, included estimates of direct and indirect costs for selected infectious diseases in 2005. The cost was amounted to EUR 14620187 for children aged 0 to 6 years and EUR 4408773 for children aged 7 to14 years, which account for a 16.97% share of all diseases for children aged 0-6 years and 17.3% of all diseases for children aged 7-14 years. This cost included the cost of first examination in general practice at the primary level, costs, prices calculated from the first examination by a specialist at the secondary level, the cost of hospital of treatment, and the cost of the lost human capital. For children aged 0 to 6 years has the highest costs due to lower respiratory tract infectious due to hospital treatment, and upper respiratory infectious due to visit a doctor. For children aged 7 to 14 years costs were higher of abdominal and intestinal infectious due to hospital treatment and upper respiratory infections due to visit a doctor.Conclusions: In the analysis we estimated the burden of common infectious diseases of children in Slovenia and related economic costs by using routinely collected data. The results are important for monitoring and forecasting health care and health care cost in Slovenia. We expect that the use of information on the burden will bring about more attention to the quality and completeness of the clinical data Preedy and Watson (2010).
New insights of liquid biopsy in ovarian cancer

Published: October 2022

Through the development of new analysis technologies, many issues regarding the approach to tumoral diseases have been elucidated. With analytical assays developed in the last years, various omics technologies have evolved in such a manner that the characteristics of tumor cells and products can be evaluated (assessed) in the bloodstream of cancer patients at different times. Ovarian Cancer (OC) is one of the most difficult to diagnose umors, with low survival rates due to the high heterogeneity of these diseases that are distinct in terms of etiology and molecular characteristics, but which simply share an anatomical appearance. Recent findings have indicated that several types of ovarian cancer classified into different histotypes are in fact derived from non-ovarian issues and share few molecular similarities. Within this context, ovarian cancer screening and diagnosis can be made through the evaluation of circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood using liquid biopsy technologies. Advances in the study of various molecules analyzed by liquid biopsy have shown that elucidation of intratumoural and intertumoural heterogeneity and spatial and temporal tumor evolution could be traced by serial blood tests rather than by histopathological analyses of tissue samples from a primary tumor. Therefore, evaluation of some molecules such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating cell-free RNA (non-coding and mRNA, extracellular vesicles), tumor-educated platelets or different miRNAs using liquid biopsy could lead to improvement of patient management.

Published: October 2022

In this paper, we have tried to clearly explain the meaning of fractions and operations with fractions. Also, we have tried to illustrate with some examples how to apply the rules of operations with fractional numbers, giving different practical techniques through different figures, visualization methods, and concretizing problems. The paper presents with examples of the most common mistakes made by students, giving suggestions for their avoidance, as well as through a questionnaire, which considered the survey of 60 students of grade 6 of school, “Elena Gjika” City Prishtina, Kosovo, with the help of the statistical test we have concluded that practical techniques such as figures, visualizations, and video lessons have a close dependence on the meaning and operation of fractions.
Trading Strategies for All Stock Programs

Published: October 2022

Market traders buy and sell volatile assets frequently, with a goal to maximize their total return. There is usually a commission for each purchase and sale. Two such assets are gold and bitcoin. In order to solve the existing issues of purchases between gold and bitcoin, given that we have 1,000 USD, what strategies should we take to maximize our profits? In this article, the authors established seven models to predict the value of gold and bitcoins and how you should buy them, as the trends of value fluctuate, our models must be accurate enough to avoid being influenced. Targeted at that, the content is divided into three parts. For part 1: The authors selected several indicators that feature how the stock runs. For instance, price of gold and profit of gold to build first two models, which are the risk of investment model and the judgment on bull-or-bear market model. Then we use these models to evaluate whether it is safe to invest. The models are as follows: bear-bull market judgment model, risk of investment evaluation model, prediction model, trade model. For part 2: Based on the data concerned, the authors established the time series model to predict the way the market fluctuates. Meanwhile, the result of this model can be applied in correcting the results of former two models so as to make it more accurate. For part 3: The authors combined models above to give the best trading strategy. In addition, we improved the models by adding more indicators to make it more precise. We hope that by applying our models and strategies, you can successfully maximize your profit.

As we know cancer patients are considered very vulnerable in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Our study aimed to determine the association between the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with and without cancer. Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed a total of 60 adult patients with and without a history of cancer and with confirmed COVID-19 infection recruited in Al Shifa hospital of Gaza strip as a case-control study from Mars 12, 2022 to Mai 20, 2022. Logistic regression models were performed to explore the risk factors of mortality. Results: Thirty cancer patients (cancer group, mean age 57.9± 19.9; median age 60 years; 43.3% were female) and 30 non-cancer patients were identified (non-cancer group, mean age 42.17±14.8; median 40 years; 46.7% were female). Intensive care unit admission was higher in the non-cancer group (63.3%) than in the cancer group (26.7%). The mortality rate was higher in the cancer group (40.0%) than in the non-cancer group (33.3%) and the admission to Intensive care unit remains the strongest risk factor for mortality for cancerous patients (OR= 11.9;95%CI:2.26-62.59, p=0.003). Conclusion: Cancer patients with COVID-19 infection reported a poor prognosis, a closed care, management, and monitoring can improve the outcome of the disease.

Published: October 2022

Recently, many cars in big cities are common things. The quantity of cars becomes a new problem, such as car parking, mainly in a crowded shopping centre. People that look for parking ground may often find some problems, for example they often find that the parking area is currently full after long queue time to enter parking. Based on this problem, has been constructed a Modelling of Computer-Based Parking Area Management System. This system is made to solve parking problem, particularly in shopping centre. The modelling is based around ATMEL MCS-51 Microcontroller. It works by counting the number of cars entering the parking centre. The system will search for an empty space in the parking area. After the consumers get an exact information about their car parking location, parking ticket will be printed out automatically. Finally, computer will count and print the parking fee before cars leave the parking area. The conclusion of this modelling device is that it is to print tickets automatically and can locate the position or the place of parking lot that are still available.

Effects of Roasting Process on Color and Some Industrial Properties of Hazelnuts Cultivated By Organic And Conventional Methods
Authors: KARAOSMANOĞLU Hasan
Published: October 2022

In this study, the effects of the roasting process on the color (L- value, a-value, b-value, hue, chroma, total color difference- ΔE and browning index- BI) and some technological properties (blanching percentage and full blanching percentage) of cultured hazelnuts cultivated by organic and conventional methods was investigated. The study material was collected from Turkey, the world’s most important hazelnut cultivation center, and Tombul, Mincane, Çakıldak, Palaz, Foşa and Sivri cultivars that have commercial importance were selected. The roasting conditions were set at 130 °C for 40 minutes and 160 °C for 20 minutes, the most preferred conditions in the industry. The results of the study demonstrated that blanching and full blanching percentages of organic hazelnuts were high at low temperatures and the BI values of it were high at both temperatures. Tombul and Mincane cultivars came to the forefront with their blanching performance. With the increase in temperature, L and hue value decreased and a, b and chroma values increased. However, it was determined that the cultivation method and the cultivar factor did not affect these values. Considering these results, organic hazelnuts were found to be more sensitive to heat treatment. Therefore, we recommend roasting organic hazelnuts at a lower temperature than conventional method.

Authors: Hawamdeh Mahmoud M. , Hamayel Hussien J.
Published: October 2022

Digital citizenship attempts to assist the younger generation in making prudent and acceptable decisions in various digital contexts. Society’s disregard for digital citizenship has negative consequences, including cyberbullying and other crimes. Therefore, this study investigates the approaches and methodologies utilized in digital citizenship by conducting a thorough literature review. The research analyzed three academic databases comprising papers from some of the most esteemed periodicals. Each search engine was provided with the keywords “digital citizenship”, “digital literacy”, “digital native,” and “digital citizenship-related approaches.” The search was limited to articles having “digital citizenship” and “citizenships” in the title, abstract, and body. To ensure that individual results were extracted from each database, duplicate articles were manually removed in a cascade fashion from one database to the next. Digital citizenship encompasses a far more extensive set of skills than computer or media literacy. This is due to citizens’ enthusiasm for digital technologies in industrialized nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and China. Problem-solving, security, information processing and innovation, and content communication are related to digital citizenship. Despite its value, this appraisal has a few drawbacks. According to the findings, implementing digital citizenship solutions proved challenging. Future research should employ mixed method approaches to understand better digital citizenship acceptance and uptake based on the findings of this study.
Analyzing teachers’ knowledge based on their approach to the information provided by technology
Authors: Rocha Helena
Published: October 2022

Teachers’ knowledge plays a central role in technology integration. In this study we analyze situations, where there is some divergence between the mathematical results and the information offered by the graphing calculator (lack of mathematical fidelity), putting the focus in the teachers and in their approaches. The goal of this study is to analyze, in the light of knowledge for teaching mathematics with technology (KTMT) model, the teachers’ professional knowledge, assuming the situations of lack of mathematical fidelity as having the potential to reveal some characteristics of their knowledge. Specifically, considering the teaching of functions at 10th grade (age 16), we intend to analyze: (1) What knowledge do the teachers have of technology and of its mathematical fidelity? (2) What can the teachers’ options related to situations of lack of mathematical fidelity tell us about their knowledge in other KTMT domains? The study adopts a qualitative and interpretative approach based on the case studies of two teachers. Data were collected by interviews and class observation, being the analysis guided by the KTMT model. The main result points to the relevance of the mathematics and technology knowledge. However, there is evidence of some difficulties to integrate the information provided by the technology with the mathematics, and also of some interference of the teaching and learning and technology knowledge, and specifically of the knowledge related to the students. This suggests that the analysis of the teachers’ actions in relation to situations of lack of mathematical fidelity, can be useful to characterize their KTMT.
