Published: December 2024

The Republic of Azerbaijan, historically reliant on its oil sector for economic growth, now seeks to diversify its economy to ensure sustainable development. This study aims to pinpoint key opportunities for bolstering Azerbaijan’s non-oil sectors. Through analysis, historical review, and forecasting, it becomes evident that Azerbaijani authorities are increasingly prioritizing economic diversification. This shift is seen as essential for fostering economic resilience, generating employment opportunities, and mitigating vulnerability to fluctuating energy prices. Government initiatives play a pivotal role in supporting non-oil sectors, with significant investments channeled through state programs aimed at enhancing sectoral attractiveness and competitiveness. Efforts to improve infrastructure, particularly through projects like the Zangezur and Middle Corridor developments, are crucial for expanding transport and transit capacities, thereby facilitating economic diversification. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are also highlighted as effective mechanisms for nurturing specific industries and creating robust infrastructure to benefit both economic development and the populace at large. Analysis reveals promising trends within Azerbaijan’s non-oil sectors, underscoring ongoing advancements and successes. Ultimately, the findings of this study provide valuable insights for shaping national economic policies, particularly in fortifying Azerbaijan’s non-oil economy. By leveraging these insights, policymakers can strategically steer the country towards a more diversified economic landscape, reducing dependence on oil revenues and fostering sustainable growth across various sectors.

Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being actively implemented in anti-money laundering (AML) systems due to its potential to improve the detection of suspicious transactions. The article examines AI's effectiveness in detecting and reducing financial crimes of private military companies.
The research employs machine learning (ML) algorithms and neural networks, anomaly detection methods, and economic impact assessment. A combination of supervised and unsupervised learning methods enables the creation of accurate predictive models for detecting money laundering anomalies.
The results show that AI models outperform traditional rule-based systems, reducing false positives by 30% and increasing high-risk detection by 25%. This proves the advantages of AI over conventional anti-money laundering methods, which often cannot adapt quickly.
The research emphasizes the transformative impact of AI on anti-money laundering systems, optimizing accuracy and resource allocation. Further research should focus on improving AI algorithms and their application in new financial technologies.
ÜNİVERSİTE EĞİTİMİ ALMAKTA OLAN SURİYELİ GÖÇMEN ÖĞRENCİLERİN UYUM SORUNU: “ADIYAMAN ÖRNEĞİ”
Authors: Çelenk Abdullah , Kaya Yaşar
Published: December 2024

Tarihi bir olgu olan göç, arkasındaki nedenler değişse de günümüzde dinamik özelliğini koruyup küresel bir olgu olarak hızla büyümeye devam etmekte ve devletlerin ekonomik, demografik, politik ve kültürel yapısı bu süreçten derin bir biçimde etkilenmektedir. Suriye’de 2011 yılında başlayıp günümüzde hala devam eden iç savaş sonucu Adıyaman’a Suriye’nin farklı yerlerinden yoğun bir göç olayı yaşanmıştır. Adıyaman sadece kendi kırsalından göç alan ve başka illere göç veren bir kent olmasına rağmen Suriye göçüyle birlikte uluslararası göç alan bir kent haline gelmiştir.
Bu çalışma, Suriye iç savaşından kaçarak Türkiye’ye sığınan ve Adıyaman’a yerleşen üniversite eğitimi almakta olan Suriyeli göçmenlerin geldikleri ilk günden bu yana yaşadıkları tüm sosyal süreçleri ele alan nitel bir araştırmadır. Bu göçmen gençlerin, Adıyaman kentine uyum sağlamaları ve halkın onları kabul ediş süreci sırasında yaşadıkları problemleri, sosyal değişimleri ve süreç içinde ulaştıkları olumlu gelişmeler üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışmamız teorik ve uygulama olarak iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Kavramsal arka plan oluşturulduktan sonra saha çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Çalışmamızda göç olgusu, göçün nedenleri, göç ile ilişkili kavramlar, göç sonucu yaşanan değişimler ve göçmenlerin Türkiye serüveni incelenmiştir. Suriyeli gençler, onların eğitimleri ile doğrudan muhatap olan akademisyenler ve sınıf arkadaşları ile gerçekleştirilen mülakatlardan elde edilen bulguların analizi yapılmıştır.
Sonuç olarak yabancı bir ülke kültüründe yaşamak, eğitim almak öğrencilerin uyum, eğitim, kültürel ve sosyal sorunlar yaşamalarına neden olmaktadır. Bu sorunlar doğal olarak göçmen gençlerin gelecek beklentilerini de etkilemektedir.
ALKIŞ İÇİNDE KARGIŞ: ALEVİ-BEKTAŞİ GÜLBANKLARINDA BEDDUA
Authors: Kızıldağ Hasan
Published: December 2024

Gülbanklar, Türk tasavvufunda tarikatların ayin ve törenlerinde dede/pir tarafından okunan dualardır. Kalıplaşmış halleri ve yapısı itibariyle eski Türklerin alkış adını verdiği büyüsel ve dini dualara benzemektedir. Mevlevi, Kalenderi ve Halveti tarikatlarında da söylenen gülbanklar, özellikle Alevi-Bektaşi topluluklar tarafından benimsenmekte ve cem törenlerinde sıklıkla söylenmektedir. Alevi ve Bektaşilerde hayatın ve cem ayininin her anını ilgilendiren farklı konularda gülbanklar kayda alınmıştır. Gülbanklar, geçmiş ile bugün arasında kültürel bir köprü oluşturduğu için farklı bakış açılarıyla incelenmesi gereken unsurlardır. Yapılan bu çalışmada Alevi-Bektaşi gülbankları incelenerek bu gülbanklar içerisinde yer alan kargış/beddua örnekleri tespit edilmiştir. Alkış/dua metinleri olan gülbankların içerisinde hangi sebeplerle kargış/beddua unsurlarının yer aldığı ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Yapılan incelemede, gülbanklarda yer alan kargış/beddua örneklerinin yapısal olarak genel yapıya uyduğu, bu bedduaların zaman içerisinde doğal bir şekilde gülbankların içinde yer almaya başladığı görülmüştür. Bunu yanı sıra tespit edilen beddua örneklerinin topluluğa tarihi hatırlatmalarda bulunduğu ve kolektif bellekte ortak anlatıyı yerleştirme işlevinde olduğu görülmüştür.
BÜYÜK ANLATILARDAN KÜÇÜK ANLATILARA KAHRAMANIN DÖNÜŞÜMÜ
Authors: Öz Mehmet
Published: December 2024

İnsanlık tarihi kahramanların, onların öykülerinin; değişimin, gerçeklik algısında dönüşümün de tarihidir. Mitler/destanlar döneminden modern çağa doğu her değişim ve dönüşüm beraberinde gerçeklik anlayışını da değiştirip dönüştürmüştür. Örneğin modernizm akıl, mutlak hakikat, evrensellik, ilerleme gibi büyük anlatılara, kanonik söylemlere, kurtarıcı ideolojilere yaslanırken; postmodernizm daha çok buna karşıt düşünceye yaslanmıştır. Dolayısıyla modernizmden postmodernizme her alanda ciddi bir değişim ve dönüşümden bahsedilebilir. Değişim ve dönüşümün edebi alana, dolayısıyla anlatılara, anlatıların kahramanlarına yansıması da kaçınılmaz olmaktadır. Büyük anlatılara yaslanan eserler, büyük anlatılara uygun, büyük ve ideal amaçlar, büyük yolculuklar, yer yer ideolojik hedefler peşinde kahramanlar kurgularken; postmodern düşüncenin şekillendirdiği küçük anlatılar ise küçük anlatıya uygun, daha sıradan kahramanlar kurgulamaktadır. Bu nedenle büyük anlatılardan küçük anlatılara kahramanın değişim ve dönüşümünden söz edilebilir. Bu çalışmada kahramanın dönüşümü bağlamında, söz konusu anlatılara uygun olarak Halide Edip Adıvar’ın Yeni Turan’ının kahramanı “Oğuz” ile Ferit Edgü’nün Eylül’ün Gölgesinde Bir Yazdı romanının kahramanı “Çakır” incelenmektedir.
BELİRLENİMCİLİĞİ KURTARMAK VE BELİRLEYEN OLMAK: IMMANUEL KANT’IN NEDENSELLİK KAVRAYIŞI ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: Öztürk Emre
Published: December 2024

Immanuel Kant düşünce tarihinin en etkili figürlerinden birisidir. Sosyal bilimlerde Kant’ın terminolojisi, ele aldığı konular, sunduğu argümanlar, önerdiği çözümler ve ortaya attığı yeni aydınlatıcı sorularla pek çok disiplin için bir mihenk taşı konumdadır. Özellikle de çağdaş yazının özgürlük, belirlenimcilik ve etik gibi konularında bugün ne denli mümbit olduğu düşünüldüğünde Kant’ın güncelliği her zamankinden daha çok değer kazanmaktadır. Bu nedenle makalede Kant’ın belirlenimcilik ve özgürlük konusundaki uzlaşıya nedensellik düşüncesi üzerinden nasıl bir karşılık bulmaya çalıştığı hususu üzerinde durulmaktadır. Kant zaman ve mekâna bağlı fenomenal dünyanın zorunluluk içeren nedensel karakterini düşünülür dünyanın karakteristikleriyle birlikte ele almaya teşebbüs eder. Buradaki motivasyonlardan biri, David Hume’un ellerinde çıkmaza giren nedensellik ilkesini kurtarmak. Ama Kant bu adımı özgür istence yer açan bir nedensellik kavrayışıyla da barıştırmak ister. Bu nedenle onun bir diğer (ve daha önemli) motivasyonu özgür istence sahip ahlaki bireyin kendisine de bir alan açmak olarak belirir. Makalede, Kant’ın bilimin inceleme nesnesi olan doğa dünyasının belirlenimciliği ile öznenin ahlaki eylemlerinin temeli olan otonomisini uzlaştırma teşebbüsü ele alınmakta, bu yöndeki tespitlerine ilişkin bir değerlendirme sunulmakta ve Kant’ın bu girişimindeki temel dayanak noktaları irdelenmektedir.
EMANET ÇEYİZ (MÜBADELE İNSANLARI) ROMANINA GÖRE NİĞDE VE ÇEVRESİ

Published: December 2024

Türk Rum Mübadelesi Sözleşmesi ile Anadolu’da yaşayan Ortodoks Rumlar’la Yunanistan’da yaşayan Müslüman Türklerin, karşılıklı olarak yer değiştirmesine karar verilmiştir. Anlaşma gereği olarak halk, kısa sürede göç ettirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Halkın göç etmesi, güvenlik başta olmak üzere sosyal ve ekonomik alanda çeşitli sıkıntılara neden olmuştur. Mübadelenin bu yönleri, çeşitli çalışmalarda akademik düzeyde ele alınmıştır. Buna karşın mübadelenin insanlarla ilgili yönü, anıları ise daha sınırlı olarak son dönemlerde derlenmeye ve incelenmeye başlanmıştır. İlk mübadillerin çoğu yerleşme, uyum ve güvenlik sorunlarından kaynaklı olarak yaşadıklarını yazıya aktaramamıştır. Ancak ikinci nesiller ve/veya araştırmacılar konuya eğilmeye başlayınca mübadelenin her bir bireye özgü yönleri daha çok merak edilir olmuştur. Mübadil anılarının hikâye ve romana dönüşmesi, onların içerisinde mübadeleye, yaşanılan çevreye, kültürel özelliklere dair bilgilerin de aktarılmasını sağlamıştır. Bundan dolayı mübadil yaşamını yansıtan edebi ürünler hem mübadelenin ulaşım süreci hem halk tarafından yaşananlar hem de ilgili yerleşim yerine ulaşıldıktan sonraki süreçler açısından veriler sunabilecek belge niteliğindedir. Bunlar, özelde yöre halkı ve bireysel araştırmalar için genelde de mübadeleyle ilgili birikim oluşturmak amacıyla incelenmeyi ve tasnif edilip değerlendirilmeyi beklemektedir. Bu çalışmanın da temel amacı bunu gerçekleştirmektir. Çalışma kapsamında Emanet Çeyiz adlı bir mübadele romanında geçen Niğde ve çevresi ile ilgili anılar ve mübadelede Niğde’nin önemi, Niğde dolaylarından giden mübadiller ve serüvenleri ortaya çıkarılmak istenmiştir.

Authors: İme Gamze
Published: December 2024

Azerbaycan, 28 Mayıs 1918'de bağımsızlığını ilan ettikten sonra, Fethali Han Hoyski başkanlığında ilk milli hükümetini kurmuştur. Ülkenin ekonomik durumunu düzeltmek ve mali yapısını iyileştirmek için Osmanlı Devleti'nden destek arayışına girmiştir. Azerbaycan, mali destek ve borç para talep etmiştir. İstanbul’a gönderilen heyetler aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilen görüşmeler sonucunda, iki antlaşma yapılmıştır; ilki ticari mal alımına dair dokuz maddeden oluşurken, ikincisi 500 bin lira borç ile ilgilidir. Osmanlı’nın ekonomik desteği, Azerbaycan’da istikrarın sağlanmasına yardımcı olmuş, Türk ordusu da asayişin sağlanmasında kritik bir rol üstlenmiştir. Bu süreçte yerel halkın güvenliği, gıda arzının iyileştirilmesi ve yüksek fiyatların önlenmesi gibi konularda önemli adımlar atılmıştır. Azerbaycan, Osmanlı tecrübesinden faydalanarak kurumsal yapısını yeniden düzenlemiş ve eğitim alanında Osmanlı'dan öğretmen talep etmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti, ayrıca Azerbaycan’ın ulaşım, haberleşme ve güvenlik gibi alanlarda gelişmesine destek sağlamıştır; askeri demiryollarının modernizasyonu ve posta hizmetlerinin kurulması gibi konular bu yardımlarla ilerlemiştir. Bu yardımlar, Azerbaycan’ın uluslararası alanda tanınması ve gelişimi için kritik bir önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Azerbaycan’ın 28 Mayıs 1918’de bağımsızlığını ilan etmesinin ardından Osmanlı Devleti’nden aldığı mali ve teknik yardımlar, Türk ordusunun sağladığı güvenlik katkıları, eğitim alanındaki destekler ve altyapı geliştirmeleri ele alınarak, bu süreçlerin Azerbaycan’ın ekonomik istikrarı ve uluslararası tanınması üzerindeki etkileri incelenecektir.

Some consumers have adapted to a modern lifestyle centred on projecting their status to society through materialistic presentations, including displaying luxury brand products. Our goal is to extend existing studies on this phenomenon and explore the direct effect of two dimensions of materialism (materialism self-projection vs. materialism evaluation of others) on shopping enjoyment and luxury brand purchase intention. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to analyse data from 136 Malaysian respondents and found that materialism self-projection is responsible for shopping enjoyment and purchase intention. In contrast, the materialistic evaluation of others is only responsible for purchase intention but not shopping enjoyment. Finally, shopping enjoyment also directly impacts purchase intention. This study offers an alternative model of purchase intention, theoretical and practical implications, and several avenues for future studies.

Authors:   Department of Economic Information System & Electronic Commerce, Thuongmai University, Vietnam, Xuan Cu Le
Published: December 2024

The study aims to illuminate the formulation of consumers’ intrinsic motivation, attitude, and adoption intention toward mobile money (m-money) by combining motivation theory (MOT) with technology acceptance model (TAM). The questionnaire was designed and an online survey was distributed to 398 respondents inclined to utilize m-money. A research model was assessed using the structural equation modelling (SEM). Results supported the positive influences of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, ease of use, and attitude on adoption intention. Attitude is significantly predicted by ease of use, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. Promotions, innovativeness and social influence foster intrinsic motivation. Additionally, ease of use and extrinsic motivation play a mediating role in the relationships between intrinsic motivation and attitude, intrinsic motivation and adoption intention. Lastly, the findings draw several theoretical and managerial implications for academia and practitioners to assist them adopting insightful marketing trajectories of amplifying m-money to consumers.

This study aims to investigate the impact of big data capability and strategic
flexibility on competitive performance. Structural equation modelling software
Smart PLS 4.0 was used to analyse a sample of 138 tourism and hospitality
enterprises in Vietnam. Empirical findings show that big data capabilities positively
impact competitive performance. Strategic flexibility mediates the link between big
data capabilities and competitive performance. Indeed, both reactive and proactive
strategic flexibility positively mediate the relationship between big data capability
and competitive performance. Moreover, compared to proactive strategic flexibility,
reactive strategic flexibility has a more robust mediating effect on the link between
big data capabilities and competitive performance. This research contributes to the
literature by showing that big data capability and strategic flexibility are the
strongest predictors of competitive performance in hospitality and tourism
enterprises. The implications for the development of big data analytics capabilities
combined with a flexible strategy to achieve improvements in competitive
effectiveness in the hotel and tourism industry are suggested.

The study investigates the factors influencing young Chinese consumers’ intention
to consume green food. This study combined the Theory of Planned Behaviour and
the Normative activation model theory to determine whether green self-identify
(GSI), awareness of environmental consequences (AEC), and subjective norms (SN)
are related to green food consumption intention (GFI) through the mediating effects
of green attitude (GA) and personal norms (PN). The study was conducted in the
world’s largest developing country, China. Quantitative methods were used in this
study. Data were collected using a customised and validated survey instrument from
318 young consumers aged 14-35 in China. The data analysis revealed that GSI, SN,
and AEC were significant predictors of PN and GA. It implies that PN and GA
directly influenced young consumers’ GFI and that trust moderated the relationship
between PN, GA, and GFI. The findings will significantly assist government
officials, green marketers, and practitioners in recognising the role of GFI and trust
in the evolution of young Chinese consumers’ attitudes towards green food and their
intention to consume green food, thus contributing to developing promotional
policies and marketing strategies.

The second-hand luxury market in China has experienced substantial growth,
primarily driven by Generation Y’s engagement with online platforms. Despite this
expansion, it faces significant trust erosion due to fraud and counterfeit concerns,
underscoring the need to explore the external and internal factors influencing the
second-hand luxury market. In response, this study presents a conceptual model
based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Self-Determination Theory to examine
the extrinsic and intrinsic motivational factors influencing online second-hand luxury
purchases on the Xianyu app. Analyzing 816 data samples via SPSS and PLS-SEM,
the findings indicate that the willingness to purchase second-hand luxury is positively
influenced by perceived behavioral control, attitude, and reference group influence.
Extrinsic factors enhance perceived behavioral control, while intrinsic factors, except
for critical motivations, are positively influenced by reference groups. This study
provides valuable academic insights and practical guidance, enabling Asian
businesses to better understand and effectively promote second-hand luxury
purchases.

Published: December 2024

The massive development of Depok City has had an impact on improving the economic level but has also caused a decline in environmental sustainability and quality. This research aims to determine trends in land cover change and predictions for the future as well as the level of sustainability of development in Depok City. Land cover change trends in Depok City were carried out using the overlay method in ArcGIS software using land cover data for 2000, 2009, and 2019. Land cover changes were predicted until 2039 using the Land Change Modeler (LCM) analysis method with a business-as-usual scenario (BAU). Meanwhile, sustainability status is analyzed using the Rapfish Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method using data/attributes from economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The research results show that changes in land cover in Depok City from 2000 - 2019 were dominated by agriculture to residential areas. Some open land is expected to experience a significant decline by 2039, while residential areas will continue to increase. The results of the MDS Rapfish analysis show that sub-districts in Depok City have different sustainability statuses, both in economic, social, and environmental dimensions.

Adanya pandemi COVID-19 diketahui berimplikasi terhadap keberlanjutan perkotaan. Salah satunya adalah tindak kriminalitas. Adanya kebijakan pembatasan kegiatan berpotensi menyebabkan pergeseran perilaku masyarakat termasuk dalam tindak kriminal.  Akan tetapi, dampak tersebut dapat bervariasi tergantung kepada kondisi masyarakat dan karakteristik kawasan perkotaan itu sendiri. Sejauh ini, belum banyak yang mengaitkan antara fenomena kriminalitas terutama sebaran spasial dan tingkat kerawanannya dengan COVID-19, khususnya pada setiap periode COVID-19 yaitu pada masa sebelum, saat dan setelah COVID-19, sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pola sebaran kriminalitas serta tingkat kerawanan kriminalitas di Kota Balikpapan pada periode sebelum, saat dan setelah COVID-19. Pola kriminalitas ditentukan menggunakan Average Nearest Neighborhood (ANN), serta tingkat kerawanan kriminalitas ditentukan menggunakan K-Means Clustering. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, kriminalitas di Kota Balikpapan pada semua periode menunjukkan pola yang mengelompok (Clustered). Kemudian kriminalitas pada periode sebelum dan setelah COVID-19 menunjukkan tingkat kerawanan yang sama, yaitu kerawanan tinggi di Kecamatan Balikpapan Kota dan Balikpapan Selatan, kerawanan sedang di Kecamatan Balikpapan Tengah dan Balikpapan Utara, kerawanan rendah di Kecamatan Balikpapan Barat dan Balikpapan Timur. Sedangkan periode saat COVID-19, Kecamatan Balikpapan Barat menunjukkan kerawanan sedang, dimana berbeda dengan kedua periode lainnya yang menunjukkan kerawanan rendah.
ENHANCING URBAN MICRO-MOBILITY: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF INTEGRATED BIKE SHARING AT COMMUTER RAIL STATIONS IN YOGYAKARTA URBANIZED AREA
Authors: Dewayanto Damar Pratita , Marshall Derin
Published: December 2024

Climate change, particularly CO2 emissions from the transportation sector, poses a significant global challenge. Promoting micro-mobility services, especially bike sharing programs, is crucial in addressing this issue. This study examines the environmental benefits of integrating bike sharing programs with public transportation by estimating the potential CO2 emission reductions through the avoided motorized trips approach. Data were collected via a commuter line passenger survey in the Yogyakarta Urbanized Area, resulting in 157 valid responses. The estimation considered specific data inputs: trip distance, emission factor, energy factor of transportation mode, and the number of people traveling by mode. Two scenarios related to bike sharing demand and commuter line ridership were employed. The findings reveal that bike sharing demand ranges from 16.03% to 48.08%. In terms of CO2 emissions reduction, the study indicates that avoided motorized trips through bike sharing as an egress mode can potentially reduce cumulative CO2 emissions by up to 567,158.35 tons CO2e by 2030. This reduction corresponds to 0.487% and 160.113% of the national and provincial reduction targets, respectively. These findings provide insightful information to promote sustainable transportation provision.

Pest management strategies involving intercropping systems are being developed in different research stations. However, findings on location specific management are very limited. In order to address these problems and enhance maize productivity by identifying location specific strategies, field experiments were conducted at the Department of Millets, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during kharif, 2020 and rabi, 2020-21 to reduce the incidence of FAW in irrigated maize through different intercropping systems in sandy clay loam soil. The experiments consisted of 5 treatments viz., T1- Maize + Tephrosia, T2- Maize + Fenugreek, T3- Maize + Coriander, T4- Maize + Marigold and T5- Maize alone and these were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. On the border of experimental field, a row of Bajra Napier Hybrid grass was planted to study the influence on FAW. The results of experiments revealed that the T4- Maize + Marigold treatment was superior in reducing the incidence of FAW in irrigated maize among the different intercropping systems owing to the occurrence of natural enemies and repelling nature of marigold which recorded higher maize equivalent yield of 6089 kg ha-1 with a B:C ratio of 1.84. This system of intercropping should be adopted by the farming community to reduce the incidence of FAW in maize as it is an eco friendly approach, which sustains the productivity of maize.

Plant growth, development, and stress resistance depend on the presence of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in its rhizosphere. The detection of the highly active PGPR is of high importance due to their possible application as microbial inoculants for plant growth promotion (PGP) in agriculture. In this study, we report on PGPR from the rhizosphere of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) growing in Uzbekistan, as it was not studied before. Based on the screening of 37 isolates from grapevine rhizosphere for stimulation of wheat seed germination, just two isolates, BDI-1 and BDI-2 were chosen as the most active. In laboratory conditions, the isolates BDI-1 and BDI-2 increased wheat root length up to 1.48 and 1.5 times and shoot length up to 1.59 and 1.64 times, respectively, as compared to the control. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis and comparison with the relative strains registered in GenBank of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the isolates BDI-1 and BDI-2 were identified as Pantoea agglomerans and Priestia megaterium, accordingly. Their 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences were deposited to GenBank under the accession numbers OP727725 for BDI-1 and OP782582 for BDI-2. Both isolates were phenotypically characterized and demonstrated phosphate-solubilizing and nitrogen-fixing abilities, producing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in a high amount; however, BDI-1 also produced siderophores and BDI-2 - 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) - deaminase. Due to these features, the bacteria showed their high activity in the promotion of plant growth and seed germination. In conclusion, according to our results, P. agglomerans BDI-1 and P. megaterium BDI-2 are promising PGPR, which can be applied as microbial inoculants for plant growth improvement.

Millets are consumed by people across the globe. Millet bran (MB), a byproduct of preliminary processes like dehulling, debranning, and milling, is often discarded or utilized as animal feed. Foxtail millet bran(FMB) consists of 9.39% crude oil, 12.48% crude protein, 51.69% crude fiber, 7.50% ash, and 8.29% moisture. Kodo millet bran(KMB) has a nutrient profile of 4.92% protein, 79.84% carbohydrates, 2.83% fat, 48.42% overall dietary fiber, 5.33% ash, and 7.07% moisture. Little millet bran has a phenolic concentration of 465.67 µg, whole grain contains 148.53 µg, and pearled grain has 78.63 µg. Proso millet bran is composed of 9% fat, 26% carbohydrates, 36% dietary fiber, and 14% protein, along with 3 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of phenolics. Bran is a promising ingredient for creating innovative functional and therapeutic foods since it contains good nutrients like protein, fat, dietary fiber, phenols, phytonutrients, flavonoids, and antioxidants. Hydrolytic rancidity is the primary challenge in using bran as food, and the only way to prevent it is through a process called stabilization, which inactivates the enzymes responsible for this issue. Stabilization of bran is crucial to preventing the formation of free fatty acids(FFA) due to the action of lipase. This review addresses stabilization techniques, health and therapeutic benefits, and industrial applications for developing MB-based food products like bakery products, beverages, and bran oil.

This study examined the long-term effects of the Site-Specific Nutrient Management Integrated Plant Nutrient System (SSNM-IPNS) on carbon sequestration, stock, loss and mineralization in soil within a 26-year-old ricerice cropping system at wetland of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The research focused on the impact of integrated organic and inorganic nutrient application on carbon fractions compared to conventional fertilization methods under wetland ecosystems. Results indicated that the SSNM-IPNS approach significantly enhances soil total organic carbon (TOC), with levels reaching 1.56% compared to just 0.78% in control treatments. Furthermore, labile carbon fractions such as permanganate-oxidizable carbon (POx-C), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), water-soluble carbon (WSC), and particulate organic carbon (POC) were found to be greater in the SSNM-IPNS management. Increased rates of carbon mineralization and basal respiration also reflected a more active and efficient microbial community in these soils. Soil microbial indices, including the microbial quotient (qMic) and the metabolic quotient (qCO2), further emphasized the benefits of the SSNM-IPNS approach in enhancing soil health. Overall, the findings demonstrate that SSNM -IPNS significantly improves carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, and soil fertility, promoting sustainable agricultural practices vital for long-term productivity in intensive cropping systems. This research underscores the importance of adopting innovative nutrient management practices for sustainable agriculture.

At Store Steel Ltd., continuously cast billets (180 mm × 180 mm) are reheated and rolled after cooling to room temperature. Hot-rolled bars are controlled as they cool to room temperature in specially designed cooling chambers, minimizing residual stresses and the development of preexisting surface and internal defects. The bar ends can be additionally covered with insulating material. The cooled, rolled bars undergo examination using automated control lines to detect surface and internal defects, which primarily originate from the casting process. Internal defects are identified using ultrasonic testing. Between January 2022 and June 2023, 1550.0 tons of 61SiCr7 rolled bars, with diameters ranging from 53 mm to 72 mm and lengths from 7010 mm to 7955 mm, were examined using ultrasonic testing. The scrap was 109.6 tons (7.07 %). After collecting data on chemical composition (C, Si, Mn, Cr, Mo, Ni content), the casting process (casting temperature, cooling water pressure and flow in the first, second, and third zones of secondary cooling, as well as the temperature difference between input and output mould cooling water), and rolled bar geometry (diameter, length), scrap modelling after ultrasonic testing was carried using genetic programming. The genetic programming model suggested reducing the length of the rolled bar. Due to length multiplication, it was possible to reduce the rolled bar length from the initial lengths of 7010-7955 mm to the current lengths of 4558-6720 mm in June 2023. Based on this adjustment, a new production of rolled bars was established. By August 2024, 1251.9 tons of 61SiCr7 rolled bars were produced with the mentioned length adjustments. These rolled bars were subsequently examined using ultrasonic testing. The scrap was reduced by nearly 14 times, amounting to only 8.1 tons (0.64 %).

Published: December 2024

The production and sales of electric vehicles have been increasing in line with the gradual adaptation of consumers to electric vehicles, driven by various government policies and subsidies over the past decade. As a result, the deployment of charging facilities, which are essential for supporting electric vehicles, has also been extensive. However, despite the rapid development in scale, charging facilities face challenges such as low utilization during off-peak hours and excessive congestion during peak hours, leading to resource wastage and a diminished user charging experience. To address these issues, this study proposes a spatio-temporal prediction model for charging station load. The model introduces a global spatial enhancement module to simultaneously learn short-range and long-range spatial dependencies in the data, resulting in improved prediction accuracy. The aim of this research is to provide practical guidance in terms of conserving charging resources and enhancing user charging experience based on spatio-temporal prediction effectiveness.
