BACKGROUND: Melanocyte stem cells (MelSCs) residing in the hair follicle bulge act as melanocyte reservoir for skin and hair, and may serve as an autologous source for treating vitiligo. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the in vitro differentiation ability of MelSCs derived from vitiligo patients into melanin-producing melanocytes for potential cellular therapy.METHODS: MelSCs from the vitiliginous (V-MelSCs), non-vitiliginous (NV-MelSCs) regions of vitiligo patients, as well as from control subjects (C-MelSCs) were established for evaluating their differentiation potential into melanin producing cells. The differentiation abilities were compared at the cellular and molecular levels. MelSCs were differentiated in vitro into induced-melanocytes (iMCs) by supplementing the culture medium with melanogenic factors. iMCs were analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for the expression of key melanogenic markers, including tyrosinase (TYR), tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1), dopachrome tautomerase (DCT), microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), c-KIT and S100. iMCs were also stained with L-DOPA to assess TYR activity in cells. Intracellular melanin content in iMCs was evaluated and compared among the vitiligo and control groups.RESULTS: MelSCs induced into iMCs displayed morphological changes with longer dendrites and prominent nuclei. iMCs stained positive for L-DOPA with an average intracellular melanin content of 30 pg/cell. iMCs expressed key melanogenic genes and the relative expression did not differ significantly among the groups.CONCLUSION: NV-MelSCs were unaltered by disease pathogenesis and capable of differentiating into melanocytes compared to V-MelSCs. Hence, these cells might offer a reliable source of melanocytes for vitiligo repigmentation therapy by autologous cellular transplantation.KEYWORDS: melanocyte stem cells, differentiation, melanocytes, vitiligo, in vitro

The repair and restoration work implemented in inactive well stocks has led to the resolution of clustering issues based on their purpose. It has been determined that in case of clusters of accident-prone wells, the implementation of repair and restoration works and their return to the operational fund, must be carried out based on economic and technical efficiency. The corresponding analysis revealed that clusters characterizing the accident rates include issues with downhole pipes, downhole motors, tools and devices, packers, bottom hole drill pipes, cables, ropes, wires, and others types of accidents. This paper presents the accumulated results of realized RRW (repair restoration works) based on field experience for formalization and automation in developing decision-making technologies and selecting accident elimination strategy in appropriate field conditions. Various technologies have been developed for the elimination process, using appropriate equipment. Repair and restoration work for corresponding codes is proposed based on field statistical information. The economic feasibility of the obtained results and their application are classified on the basis of boundary conditions defined by developed logical stages. The logical stages are drawn up using information about field parameters, including well conditions, the location of the accident object in the well, realized technology, and appropriate technical means. As a result of the analysis of SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic) fund of accident-prone wells, 24 possible options for the implementation of RRW have been identified for the aforementioned clusters. Lists of the existing tool park, functional design parameters, and technological modes necessary for each accident cluster have been determined to implement decision-making technologies.

Thomas Keneally’nin Schindler’s Ark Adlı Eserinde Dinsel Öğeler
Authors: Ören Aytaç
Published: April 2024

Edebiyatın farklı alanlarında çalışmaları olan Avustralyalı Thomas Keneally, en çok 2. Dünya Savaşı’nın içinde yaşamış gerçek tarihi bir kişiliği, Oscar Schindler’i karakterleştirdiği Schindler’s Ark ile tanınır. Tarihsel bilince derinden kök salan bir anlayışla eserlerinin çoğunda önemli tarihi olaylar, figürler ve temalar öne çıkar. Öykülerinin gerisinde titizlikle araştırılmış tarihsel bağlam, tasvirlerinde ise sunduğu doğruluk ve özgünlük yansır ve tarihsel ayrıntılara olan bağlılığının anlatılarına kattığı derinlik ve zenginlikle okur, kendini o geçmişin içinde, önemli bir tarihsel olayın şahidi olarak bulur. Dinsel öğelerle dikkat çeken Schindler’s Ark da böylesi bir çalışmanın ürünüdür. Roman, insanlık, ahlak ve bireysel seçimlerin gücü hakkında derin etik sorunları gündeme getirir; okuru kendi inançlarıyla yüzleşmeye ve adaletsizlik karşısında hem eylemin hem de eylemsizliğin sonuçlarının neler olabileceğini irdelemeye zorlar; ve Schindler karakteri aracılığıyla kefaret, suçluluk temalarını ve ahlaki açıdan iflas etmiş bir toplumda yön bulmanın karmaşıklıklarını araştırır. Katolik bir geçmişin izinde ahlaksal bir dönüşüm geçiren Schindler’in kendisi küçük bir Tanrıya, kurtarıcı bir peygambere ve fabrikası da Nuh’un gemisine benzetilir. Kitapta sıkça dini kavram ve alıntılar çerçevesinde dinle metinlerarası bir bağlam kurulur. Schindler’s Ark’da göze çarpan dinsel imgeler, hikâyenin duygusal derinliğinin artırmasına, inancın dayanıklılığının vurgulanmasına ve insanlık, merhamet ve iyi ile kötü arasındaki mücadele gibi daha geniş temaların keşfedilmesine ve en karanlık zamanlarda bile teselli, anlam ve umut içinde dini inançların ve ritüellerin gücünün hissedilmesine anlamlı bir kapı aralar.
Kesik Baş Destanı’nın Yeni Bir Nüshası Üzerine
Authors: Güngör Okan Celal , Bekar Beytullah
Published: April 2024

Kesik Baş Destanı, Hz. Ali’nin kahramanlığının anlatıldığı destanlardandır. Bu destanın Kirdeci Ali tarafından yazıldığı bilinmektedir. Halk tarafından çok sevilen ve yüzyıllarca dilden dile aktarılan bu destanın yurt içi ve yurt dışında muhtelif kütüphanelerde çok sayıda nüshası bulunmaktadır. Bu nüshalardan bazıları araştırmacılar tarafından ortaya çıkarılmış ve hem halk bilimi hem de dil özellikleri açısından incelenmiştir.
Çalışmaya konu olan nüsha, Almanya Bayerische Staatsbibliothek’te A. or. 92.1162’de Hikâye-yi Mevlüd adıyla kayıtlı olan mecmua içindedir. Bu nüsha, İbrahim Efendi matbaasında 1882 (H. 1299) tarihinde taş baskı yoluyla çoğaltılmıştır. İçerisinde Kesik Baş Destanı dışında Hikâye-yi Mevlüd, Kasîde-yi Tevhîd-i Şerîf, Dâsitân-ı Geyik, Dâsitân-ı Gögercin gibi mevlit ve destanlar da bulunmaktadır. Kesik Baş Destanı ise 38-43. sayfalar arasında olup toplam 96 beyittir.
Destan, sade ve anlaşılır bir dille yazılmıştır. Her ne kadar eser taş baskı yoluyla 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında çoğaltılmış olsa da dil özellikleri dikkate alındığında eserin Eski Anadolu Türkçesinden Osmanlı Türkçesine geçiş özellikleri göstermesi sebebiyle 15. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra, geçiş döneminde yazıldığı söylenebilir.
Daha önce tespit edilen nüshalardaki farklılıklarla birlikte yeni bulunan nüshalardaki farklı özellikler Kesik Baş Destanı’nın günümüzde henüz tam bir metninin oluşturulamadığını göstermektedir. Nüshalar üzerine yapılan ve yapılacak olan bu ve benzeri çalışmalar Türk kültürü açısından çok kıymetli olan bu eserin tam bir metninin ortaya çıkmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.
Feyerabend’ın Bilimsel Dogmatizme Karşı Verdiği Mücadele
Authors: Yeşilçayır Celal , Arısoy Ekin
Published: April 2024

Evren ile ilgili merak edilenlerin ve yaşadığımız dünyanın anlaşılması bakımından insanlar için bilimin yeri çok özeldir. Ancak özel bir alan olması bilimin tartışılmaz olduğu anlamına gelmemektedir. Paul K. Feyerabend özellikle XX. yüzyılın ilk yarısındaki bilimsel bilgi anlayışının açmazlarını göstermeye çalışmış bir filozoftur. Çünkü bilimsel bilginin standart yöntem ve pozitivist akımı mutlaklaştırması ona göre bilimin alanını daraltmıştır. Böylece eski dönemlerdeki dini dogmatizmin yerini bilimsel bir dogmatizm almaya başlamıştır. Bu sorunun yanında bilim siyasi güç odaklarının emrine girmeye başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda Feyerabend bilimin alanının daralmasını tarihsel ve metafiziksel bağlardan kopuş ile açıklamaya çalışmaktadır. Bilimdeki söz konusu tektipleşmeye karşı çoğulculuğu içeren bir bilim tasarımı ileri sürmektedir. Çoğulcu anlayış öncelikle hayatta yegâne değerin bilim olmadığını, sanat, felsefe vb. alanların da değerli olduğu anlayışını içermektedir. Aynı zamanda bilimi tek bir yöntem ve kuramla sınırlandırmanın doğru olamayacağı anlayışına dayanmaktadır. İndirgemeci bir anlayış yerine çoğulcu bakış açısının gerekliliğine dikkat çekmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Feyerabend kendi ismiyle özdeşleşen “epistemolojik anarşizm” fikrini ortaya atmıştır. Böylesi bir anarşizm, siyasi anarşizmden farklı olarak bilimin metafizik ve tarihsel bağlardan koparılarak, tektipleştirilmesine karşı çıkarak alternatif anlayışları önemsemektedir. O bilimsel dogmatizme karşı verdiği mücadelenin yanında bilimin güç ilişkilerine alet edilmesine de karşı çıkmaktadır. Çünkü bilimin asıl görevi toplumların ve insanların özgürleşmesidir. Bilimin bu görevini icra edebilmesi için dogmatizmden ve güç odaklarından kurtarılması gerekmektedir.
Antropojenik Jeomorfoloji’nin Yükselişini Niceliklendirme: Bibliometrik Bir Analiz
Authors: Kurucu Sipahi Sibel , Bağcı Harun Reşit
Published: April 2024

Günümüz popüler bilim kavramlarından biri olan Antroposen, insan toplumunun Dünya yüzey sistemleri üzerindeki etkisine (özellikle olumsuz manada) vurgu yapan disiplinler arası bir çalışma alanıdır. Jeologlar kavramın yeni bir zaman aralığı olup olmadığını tartışırken jeomorfologların bir kısmı insan faaliyetleri ile muazzam bir dönüşüm geçiren yapay peyzaja odaklanmıştır. Böylelikle Antroposen, Jeomorfoloji’de Antropojenik Jeomorfoloji olarak karşılık bulmuştur. Antropojenik Jeomorfoloji, yer şekillerinin oluşumu ve gelişiminde insanları üçüncü bir ajan olarak ele almakta ve insan yapımı yer şekillerine odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Antropojenik Jeomorfoloji’ye ilişkin araştırmaları, veri madenciliği ve niceliksel yolla ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 01/02/2024 tarihinde Web of Science veri tabanında Antropojenik Jeomorfolojiye ilişkin anahtar kelimelerle gerçekleştirilen sorgu işlemi sonucu yayınlara ait veri setine ulaşılmıştır. Veri seti, temizleme ve filtreleme işlemlerine tabi tutulduktan sonra kalan 103 makale üzerinden bibliometrik analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. R programlama dili sürüm 4.3.1 içinde yer alan bibliometrix paketinin bir ara yüzü olan biblioshiny kullanılarak veriler analiz edilerek görselleştirilmiştir. Bulgulara göre; 2000’li yılların ortalarından itibaren alandaki yayın sayısı artmaya başlamıştır. 2010 yılından sonra dalgalanmalar olsa da yayın sayısı dikkat çekici şekilde artmıştır. Nitekim yayınların %90’ı bu döneme aittir. Araştırma hacmi açısından öne çıkan ilk üç ülke ise İtalya, Polonya ve İngiltere’dir. Ancak alandaki çalışmalarda uluslararası iş birliğinin sınırlı olduğu görülmektedir. Araştırmalarda yazarların sıklıkla kullandığı kelimeler antropojenik yer şekilleri, Antropojenik Jeomorfoloji, jeomorfolojik haritalama, insan etkisi ve madenciliktir. Bu kelimeler kavramsal ve metodolojik anlamda gelişme içerisinde olan disiplindeki ana araştırma alanlarını yansıtması bakımından önemlidir. İnsan aktivitesi ile bozulan peyzaj, bu alanların restorasyonu ve antropojenik yer şekillerini jeomorfolojik haritalara entegre etme çabası da dikkat çekicidir. Sonuç olarak uzaktan algılama teknolojilerindeki gelişimlerin alana önemli bir katkı sağladığı görülmüştür. Çalışma bu alandaki bilimsel üretime genel bir bakış sunmakla beraber Antropojenik Jeomorfolojinin gelişimini doğrulama çabası olarak değerlendirilmelidir.

Authors: Thejesh Chakravarthy , Singh Simarjot , Reddy Sai Kumar , Mathpal Bhupendra
Published: April 2024

Background: Climate change is a major issue across the globe. The erratic weather conditions fluctuate to create uncertain and stressful abiotic conditions. With escalating abiotic stress analogous to the decline in freshwater accessibility and soil properties, global food security is at stake. Methods: The experiment was implemented in the spring seasons of 2022 and 2023 to assess the impact of different levels of hydrogel and crop geometric strategies on the growth and yield attributes of spring maize. The field trial was executed in split-plot design with three levels of hydrogel i.e., 0 (@ 0 kg/ha), 50% (@ 1.5 kg/ha) and 100% (@ 3 kg/ha); four crop geometric strategies i.e., normal spacing (70 x 25 cm); paired-row spacing (55-85 x 25 cm); normal spacing with seed capsule (70 x 25 cm) and paired-row spacing with seed capsule (55-85 x 25 cm). Here we correlate the outcomes with the factors in incapacitating the pessimistic effects of abiotic stress on spring maize. Result: The results revealed that the attributes were significantly affected by the employment of the combination hydrogel @ 3 kg/ha + paired-row spacing with seed capsule at (55-85 x 25 cm) which was also found effective in overcoming the abiotic stress. There was a significant enhancement of growth attributes as well as grain yield by 28.1% and 29.3%; stover yield by 24.4% and 19.9% compared to control in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
Le macronisme et la philosophie de Paul Ricoeur
Authors:   Société d’Etudes Franco-coréennes, KIM Taehee
Published: April 2024

En périodes de crise, lorsque le fossé entre le monde académique et la réalité s'élargit, les sciences humaines ont fréquemment joué le rôle d'avertisseurs. Nombre de philosophes, Platon y compris, ont sondé les voies par lesquelles leurs doctrines pourraient s'incarner au sein du champ politique. Lors de l'élection présidentielle française de 2017, Emmanuel Macron, ayant été assistant de Paul Ricoeur s 'est imposé comme le candidat présidentiel prééminent de son temps. Durant le cycle électoral, il a publiquement valorisé Ricoeur en tant que mentor politique, captant ainsi une attention médiatique soutenue pour son image de 'philosophe- roi'. Au sein de cette recherche, nous scrutons le lien entre l'idéologie politique d'Emmanuel Macron et l'influence philosophique de Paul Ricoeur. À cet égard, nous examinons initialement la posture politique de Ricoeur et la résonance de sa pensée dans l'approche politique de Macron, notamment en matière d'immigration, lors du mouvement des 'gilets jaunes', et autour de la notion de 'laïcité'.
La polarité, l'approximation et l'inférence de presque: En relation avec les syntagmes modifiés par presque
Authors:   Société d’Etudes Franco-coréennes, CHOI Yoonhee
Published: April 2024

Cette étude a pour objet d'examiner les caractéristiques sémantiques des syntagmes verbaux, adjectivaux et nominaux modifiés par l'adverbe français presque, et d'expliquer ces caractéristiques en relation avec la polarité, l'approximation et l'inférence discursive exprimées par presque.
Les conclusions révèlent que les syntagmes modifiés par l'adverbe presque expriment une « limitation » qui présuppose un processus ou une échelle. La relation entre cette « limitation » et les composants exprimés par presque peuvent se résumer comme suit :
Concernant la polarité, non-p est vraie uniquement lorsque p' est inférieur à p, où p' représente presque p, ce qui résulte du seuil des limites des syntagmes modifiés par presque. Par ailleurs, l'approximation découle de l'existence d'un point de substitution proche sur le continuum du processus ou de l'échelle. De plus, l'approximation implique une notion du «comparatif de supériorité » exprimant l'orientation positive. Cette notion conduit à l'inférence problématique lorsqu'elle est associée à des éléments de nature négative.

Regulatory Approaches to NFT in Indonesia: Considering the Implementation of the French Droit De Suite System?
Authors: Yustisio Rifki , Asshidiq Abdullah Widy
Published: April 2024

The development of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) has significantly impacted global economic trade. However, in Indonesia, the regulation surrounding NFT remains insufficient, particularly concerning law enforcement and equitable royalty distribution for commercialized artistic works. This research adopts a normative juridical approach, employing statutory, comparative, and conceptual analysis methods. Findings indicate that NFT, as three-dimensional artistic creations, fall under the protection of the Copyright Act. While Indonesia has addressed NFT regulation in various laws and government regulations, detailed provisions regarding digital transactions involving three-dimensional artworks are lacking. Moreover, inadequate legal safeguards for NFT sales underscore the pressing need for legal reform. Therefore, the adoption of Droit De Suite through legal transplantation is proposed as a prudent strategy for legal modification, offering numerous normative and operational benefits. Droit De Suite is a principle born from the Berne Convention, where the requirement to apply Droit De Suite is that the state must give permission or legally recognize that the state has been regulated in its legislation. In addition, Droit De Suite is the right given to the artist or creator and his heirs to resell copyrighted works that have been produced previously, so that the creator's heirs are entitled to a share of the resale of a work. This approach holds promise for enhancing the legal framework surrounding NFTs and promoting fair treatment of artists and stakeholders in Indonesia's digital economy landscape.
100. YILINDA TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ’NİN İLK ANAYASASI 1924 TEŞKİLAT-I ESASİYE KANUNU
Authors: Yamaç Müzehher
Published: April 2024

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk anayasası olma özelliğini taşıyan 1924 Anayasası Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi tarafından 20 Nisan 1924 yılında kabul edilmiştir. 36 yıl yürürlükte kalan ve Türk tarihinde özel bir yeri olan bu metin Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin tam anlamıyla yasal çerçevelerini belirlerken, çoğu yönü ile ilk olma özelliği de taşımaktadır. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk anayasası olma özelliğini taşımasının nedeni 1921 Anayasasının henüz Cumhuriyet ilan edilmeden oluşturulmuş olmasıdır. Ayrıca savaş dönemi olması ve henüz Osmanlı Devleti’nin yasal olarak devam etmesi sebebi ile bu anayasadan ilk olarak bahsetmek doğru değildir. Yeni kurulan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin yasal eksikliklerini gidermek amacıyla 1924 Anayasası yapılmak durumunda kalınmıştır. İçerisinde bulunduğu dönemin gelişmelerinin ürünü olarak yapıldığı devrin ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan bu Anayasa, egemenliğin yalnızca millete ait olduğu ve yalnızca TBMM tarafından kullanılacağı esasına göre hazırlanmıştır. Bu çalışma 100 yıl önce Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin temel değerlerini oluşturan 1924 Anayasası’nın; tarihsel koşullarda oluşum süreci, özellikleri, organlara dair hükümleri, zaman içerisinde gerçekleşen değişiklikler ve Anayasaya getirilen eleştirileri dönemin Zabıt Cerideleri ve literatür kaynakları üzerinden analiz etmeyi
Apontamentos sobre a relação da educação com a concepção biopsicossocial da deficiência

Published: April 2024

A partir da incorporação da Convenção sobre os Direitos da Pessoa com Deficiência (ONU) na Constituição brasileira e da promulgação da Lei Brasileira da Inclusão, um novo conceito de deficiência foi estabelecido. O presente artigo objetiva refletir sobre o contexto atual de implantação do instrumento de avaliação da condição de deficiência, o Indice de Funcionalidade Brasileiro Modificado (IFBr-M) e as concepções de pessoa com deficiência vigentes, para o debate na educação por ser considerada uma das políticas públicas sociais básicas alcançada por essas pessoas. Com o aporte do materialismo histórico-dialético, analisa o construto histórico da deficiência, com pesquisa bibliográfica. Os resultados apontam para a necessária superação da visão biológica da deficiência, considerando que o desenvolvimento humano é cultural, não é dado simplesmente pela natureza, depende da coletividade humana e da apropriação dos conhecimentos acumulados no decurso sócio-histórico; ainda indicam as dificuldades para a operacionalização do instrumento de avaliação decorrentes da complexidade do fenômeno da deficiência.

Association between material and design used in a ureteral stent with complication in ureteral catheterisation: A systematic review
Authors: Pakpahan Karimul Abdi , Birowo Ponco , Rasyid Nur , Atmoko Widi
Published: April 2024

The double-J stent is one of the ureteral catheters with curved ends for fixation. Since its introduction in 1978, catheterisation using a double-J stent has become one of the most frequently performed procedures in urology. However, double-J stents may lead to various complications, causing patient discomfort, pain, and bladder symptoms. Technological advancements in stent design aim to minimise these complications and enhance comfort. This review aimed to determine the association between the material and design used in ureteral stents and complications in ureteral catheterisation. We conducted a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) checklist. Screening based on specific inclusion criteria was employed to select potential studies. A database search yielded a total of 124 studies. Nine full texts were evaluated for eligibility, resulting in the exclusion of one paper. Our findings indicate that ureteral stent insertion significantly increases the frequency of pain and urinary symptoms while decreasing overall health. The choice of materials and design plays a crucial role in minimising pain and improving the quality of life for patients. Physical properties such as firmness and tensile strength also affect the quality of life, with higher firmness and tensile strength causing lower quality of life. Stent material and design choice were context-dependent. Using soft stents and specialised soft distal pigtails has been shown to reduce patient stent-related symptoms. Silicone stents showed the least bladder symptoms than polymeric stents. Polymeric stents also showed no difference in utility from metallic stents for long-term usage.

Published: April 2024

This research delves into the education system and network of Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools (also known as pondok pesantren tahfidz Quran in Bahasa Indonesia) in Kudus, Surakarta, and Bogor. The study was conducted in Pondok Pesantren Yanbu'ul Qur'an in Kudus, Ma’had Tahfizhul Qur’an, Yayasan Sosial dan Pendidikan Islam Isy Karima in Surakarta, and Pesantren Terpadu Darul Qur’an Mulia in Bogor. The research methodology employed was a descriptive, analytical, and historical approach integrated and presented through qualitative processes involving data collection through observation, interviews, and document analysis at the three Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools. The data analysis steps include data reduction, data display, and data verification through triangulation. The research findings indicate the uniqueness or characteristics of each Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools. Pondok Pesantren Yanbu'ul Qur'an has the uniqueness of five concepts: sincerity, obedience, compliance, the importance of quality, patience, and meticulousness. Meanwhile, Ma’had Tahfizhul Qur’an, Yayasan Sosial dan Pendidikan Islam Isy Karima required students to complete the recitation of the entire Quran, 30 chapters, within a duration of two years, utilizing visual, audio, and kinesthetic techniques. Pesantren Terpadu Darul Qur’an Mulia features comprehensive interaction in a halaqoh format encompassing techniques such as recitation, comprehension, memorization, and application that nurture noble character. Regarding the inevitability of the network, the research emphasizes that the Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools serves as a focal point for the community. Although exclusively owned by the kyai (Muslim leader), these Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools remain a possession of the broader community, with a self-reliant management system independent of specific government or non-governmental organizations.
Arabic Architectural Space and Its Impact on the Interior Design of the Dwelling: A Case Study of Alfirdus Residential Complexes in the Al-Qadisiyah Area of Tikrit
Authors: Hilal Maysoon Muhi , Mudhee Kaled H.
Published: April 2024

Architectural spaces are one of the most important aspects that aim to establish dialogue between humans and their surroundings. The objectives of the current study were to describe the concept of architectural space, its constituent sections, the environmental elements that influence them (such as lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, privacy, and view), and the connections between their internal and external elements. The significance of this study comes from the fact that space size is a fundamental problem. This is because a large space requires larger services, which, while satisfying many needs, are not cost-effective when it comes to controlling factors, such as temperature, light levels, and the quality of the space and walls.   One must understand how to distinguish it from other spaces and how to grade the spaces appropriately, bearing in mind the traits and way of life of the society being examined, to produce a location that is suitable for all purposes. Using effective indicators for each architectural space, each interior design component, and each design, the study utilized a descriptive methodology as well as proof of their effect on the psychological and behavioral health of the individual tenants in a selected sample of 25 residential units in one of the (388 dwelling units) residential complexes in the Al-Qadisiyah area of Tikrit. According to the   findings, 60% of respondents were satisfied with the interior design of the housing units, 80% were satisfied with how the housing units looked from outside, and 12% were satisfied with every aspect of the housing units. 90% of people are content with their housing 90% of individuals are satisfied with the interior of their home, 90% are satisfied with the colors and materials utilized, 85% are satisfied with the lighting, 80 percent of individuals are satisfied with their view, 80 percent are glad with their privacy, 70 percent are happy with their home& orientation, the results show the importance of interior design in enhancing the architectural environment, which benefits the user on both a physical and psychological level. It has been successful in providing   location authenticity and a sense of urban belonging.

This research aims to examine character education in pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools also known as pondok pesantren) as a model of religious education in transforming the attitudes of students in line with the values and culture of a diverse society. This study is based on documents related to the curriculum and student guidance system, which were confirmed through interviews with leaders and teachers, as well as observations at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor, Indonesia. The research findings indicate that Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor, Indonesia, has implemented a transformative education system. Students have undergone a transformation from traditional, fanatic, and closed values to modern, rational, disciplined, inclusive, independent, and responsible ones. The transformation in students' personalities occurs not only through classroom learning but also through reflective engagement in pesantren management, discussions, and public speaking exercises. The findings of this study imply that the religious education system in pesantrens should prioritize not only the cognitive aspects of doctrinal religious knowledge, but also involve students in society, fostering open, tolerant, and rational characters.
Outlier Detection by Energy Minimization in Quantized Residual Preference Space for Geometric Model Fitting

Outliers seriously affect the accuracy in geometric model fitting. Previous works in coping with outliers involve threshold selection and scale estimation. However most scale estimators suppose the inlier distribution as a Gaussian model, which usually poorly meets the cases in geometric model fitting. Outliers, considered as the points with big residuals to all the true models, share common items with big values in quantized residual preferences, thus making the outliers gather away from the inliers in quantized residual preference space. In this paper we make use of this outlier consensus in quantized residual preference space by extending the usage of energy minimization to combine the model error and the spatial smoothness in quantized residual preference space for outlier detection. The energy minimization based outlier detection process follows an alternate sampling and labeling framework. After the outlier detection, an ordinary energy minimization method is employed to optimize the inlier labels, which also follows the framework of alternate sampling and labeling. The experimental results in this study show that the energy minimization based outlier detection method can detect most of the outliers in the data. Furthermore, the proposed energy minimization based inlier segmentation process segments the inliers into different models quite accurately. Overall, the performance of the proposed method is better than most of the state-of-the-art methods.
Diversity Restated: >99.9% of Global Species in Soil Biota
Authors: Blakemore Robert
Published: April 2024

A decade or so of research led to the conclusion, in 2022, that the Soil Realm is home to ~2.1 x 1024 taxa and supports >99.9% of global species biodiversity, mostly Bacteria or other microbes based upon topographic field data. A subsequent 2023 soil biodiversity report tabulated a central value of just 1.04 × 1010 taxa and claimed soils had 59±15% (i.e., 44–74%) of total species on Earth, incidentally confirming upper values of ~90% for Bacteria. Incompatibility of these two studies is reviewed, supporting the prior global biodiversity data with a vast majority of species inhabiting soil, this despite excluding virus entities (now with >5 x 1031 virions and up to 1026 species, 80–90% being in soils). The true status of Oligochaeta (earthworms) and other taxa marked “?” in the 2023 paper are clarified. Although soil biota totals are raised enormously, inordinate threats and the reality of species extinctions yet pertain, specifically to those biota – such as microbes and earthworms – essential for rich, healthy soils that house & nourish almost all the Tree of Life presently on Earth.

Agua en la región Paso del Norte (PdN): futuro y retos
Authors: Granados Olivas Alfredo , Fernald Alexander
Published: April 2024

El agua es el recurso natural más importante para la supervivencia del ser humano. Las diversas actividades que se desarrollan para alcanzar la calidad de vida en las sociedades están entorno a la disponibilidad de agua, tanto en calidad como en cantidad. Contar con suficiente agua de buena calidad es clave para que las sociedades prosperen y mejoren sus condiciones de vida. En México, la Ley de Aguas Nacionales (LAN) establece que el uso doméstico representa la primera prioridad en derecho de acceso al agua; esto es, antes de los usos agrícolas, industriales, mineros o ambientales, las personas tienen prioridad. Por otro lado, los datos proporcionados por las autoridades responsables de la administración del agua establecen que el país tiene una cobertura nacional promedio de suministro de agua potable para las comunidades de aproximadamente 92 %. Esto es, a nivel nacional, aproximadamente 9 de cada 10 personas tienen alguna forma de suministro de agua potable [1]. Sin embargo, las estimaciones futuras al respecto establecen que la disponibilidad se irá reduciendo conforme se vaya incrementando la demanda. Por ejemplo, se proyecta que del año 2000 al 2030, se reducirá la disponibilidad hasta en casi 1000 m3/hab/año [2].
