Published: June 2022

Haptoglobin (Hp) is a plasma α2-glycoprotein that binds free haemoglobin and is thought to have a role in the immune pathway of different pathologies depending on its phenotype. A total of 497 Sudanese patients with viral infections and non-infectious diseases were typed for haptoglobin phenotypes, in this study, using the polyacrylamide non-reducing gel electrophoresis separation method to determine possible associations between haptoglobin phenotypes Hp1-1, Hp2-1 and Hp2-2. Viral infections included human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (n= 129) and hepatitis B (HBV) (n=171). The non-infectious diseases were: liver cirrhosis (LC) (n=68) and chronic renal failure (CRF) (n= 129). Healthy controls (n= 65) were also typed. Each disease sample was compared with the control. Expected percentages of each of the three phenotypes in Sudan estimated using SPSS were between 51.38-51.49% for Hp1-1, 36.71-36.81% for Hp2-1 and 11.76-11.91% for Hp2-2. Hp1-1 was found the most significantly prevalent among patients with LC (P≤0.05). Patients with HIV/AIDS and HBV showed the same distribution of haptoglobin phenotypes as the healthy control (i.e. a majority of Hp2-1); whereas the highest percentage of patients with Hp2-2 were those with CRF (≥23%) although not significantly different from the control. Using Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) as a null model, hp1allele frequency was calculated to be 0.69 and hp2allele frequency was 0.31 in Sudan. The healthy control, LC and CRF sampled populations were significantly deviated from HWE (P=0.05). In this study, we found that Hp1-1 has a significant association with LC. HIV/AIDS and HBV showed the same distribution of phenotypes as control and the highest percentage of patients with Hp2-2 were those with CRF. hp1and hp2allele frequencies were 0.69 and 0.31 in Sudan.
Groundwater quality assessment using GIS, the case of Omdurman area, central Sudan
Authors: Babiker Insaf S. , Mohamed Mohamed Abugaib A.
Published: June 2022

Omdurman area, located west of the River Nile and White Nile is witnessing rapid urban expansion and land use change. Several axial irrigation schemes have developed accelerating the demand for water supply. This indeed, will place more pressure over the available groundwater resources. In order to measure any change of groundwater quality it is necessary to initially evaluate the background condition. This contribution employs a GIS- based Groundwater Quality Index (GQI) which synthesizes different variable water quality data (e.g. Cl-, Na+ and SO42+) by indexing them numerically relative to the World Health Organization (WHO) standards in order evaluate the overall groundwater quality in the study area.The GQI computed for Omdurman area indicated that the water quality is generally high (mean GQI = 90 out of 100) with respect to the WHO standards. Spatially the groundwater quality of the study area increased from the central area in the northeastern direction and decrease in the southeastern direction. This result was interpreted in terms of general groundwater flow, the recharge zone, geology and soil composition. Drilling at close distances and over pumping specially in the central region might create local variations of groundwater flow resulting in mixing of waters of different qualities deteriorating the quality of water in previously safe zones. This is expected due to the low hydraulic gradient (< 0.001) characterizing some parts of the study area as well as the minimum recharge far from the River Nile and the White Nile.

Asymptotic behavior and semi-analytic solution of a novel compartmental biological model
Authors: Sinan Muhammad , Leng Jinsong , Anjum Misbah , Fiaz Mudassar
Published: June 2022

This study proposes a novel mathematical model of COVID-19 and its qualitative properties. Asymptotic behavior of the proposed model with local and global stability analysis is investigated by considering the Lyapunov function. The mentioned model is globally stable around the disease-endemic equilibrium point conditionally. For a better understanding of the disease propagation with vaccination in the population, we split the population into five compartments: susceptible, exposed, infected, vaccinated, and recovered based on the fundamental Kermack-McKendrick model. He's homotopy perturbation technique is used for the semi-analytical solution of the suggested model. For the sake of justification, we present the numerical simulation with graphical results.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin benimsedikleri eğitim felsefelerini ve epistemolojik inançlarını, çeşitli değişkenler açısından belirlemek ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, 2020/2021 eğitim ve öğretim yılında Tokat ili ve ilçelerindeki devlet ortaokullarında görev yapan 149 fen bilimleri öğretmeni oluşturmaktır. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeline göre gerçekleşen çalışmada verilerin toplanmasında Eğitim İnançları Ölçeği ve Epistemolojik İnançlar Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler cinsiyet ve mesleki kıdem değişkenlerine göre incelenmiş, epistemolojik inançlar ile eğitim felsefeleri arasındaki ilişkiye bakılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, t-testi, ANOVA ve Pearson korelasyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmadaki bulgulara göre fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin en çok varoluşçuluk ve en az esasicilik eğitim felsefelerini benimsedikleri görülmüştür. Fen bilimleri öğretmenleri epistemolojik inançlardan “bilginin kaynağı uzmandır ve öğrenme yetenek işidir” alt boyutu ve ölçek genelinde gelişmiş inançlara sahipken, “öğrenme çabaya bağlı değildir” ve “bilgi tek ve kesindir” alt boyutlarında orta düzey inançlara sahip oldukları yani güçlü bir inanca sahip olmadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin benimsedikleri eğitim felsefeleri ve epistemolojik inanç alt boyutlarında cinsiyet ve mesleki kıdem bakımından anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca eğitim felsefeleri ile epistemolojik inanç alt boyutları arasında anlamlı farkların olduğu görülmüştür. Çağdaş eğitim felsefelerine yönelen fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin, öğrenmenin yeteneğe bağlı olduğuna ve bilginin bilimsel yollarla elde edilebileceğine dair inançları artmakta iken geleneksel eğitim felsefelerine yönelen fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin ise, öğrenmenin çabaya bağlı olmadığına ve bilginin değişmez olduğuna dair inançları artmaktır.

Authors: DEMİRBİLEK Mesut
Published: June 2022

Bireyin biliş ve yetenek yapısına uygun bir çerçevede üst öğrenime seçilmesi ve yerleştirilmesi sorunu halen güncelliğini korumaktadır. Bu doğrultuda temel eğitimden (ilköğretim) ortaöğretime (liseye) geçiş süreci küresel ölçekte farklı uygulamaları içermektedir. Son yıllarda merkezi sınav, öğrenci akademik notları, akademik geçmiş, yetenek geçmişi, öğretmen gözlemleri ve yönlendirmesi, öğrenci ve veli isteği, yerel yerleştirme (adrese dayalı) gibi çeşitli seçme ve yerleştirme unsurları liseye geçişte alternatifleri oluşturmuştur. Nitekim Almanya’da ortaöğretime geçişte öğretmen görüşü ve tavsiyesi önemli iken Güney Kore’de katı ve zorlu bir sınav daha fazla ön plana çıkmaktadır. Yine Estonya’da öğrenci ilgilerine, yeteneklerine dayalı ortaöğretime geçiş süreci yaşanırken Singapur’da temel eğitimi bitirme sınav sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin geçişi sağlanmaktadır. Aynı zamanda Finlandiya’da öğrencilerin ortaokul notları ortaöğretime geçişte belirleyici iken Türkiye’de ise merkezi sınav veya öğrenci notları ile adrese dayalı yerel yerleştirme baskın olmaya başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda bu araştırmada Türkiye ortaöğretime geçiş süreci ve tarihi temelinde farklı ülkelerdeki alternatif modellerin ele alınması amaçlanmış olup gelecek eğitim yapılandırmalarının planlanmasına yarar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Correlation between Coaching Efficacy, Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Style among Bulgarian Football Coaches
Authors: Iancheva Tatiana , Prodanov Gancho
Published: June 2022

Coaches’ confidence in their own skills, their awareness of their emotions and the ability to control them, as well as their choice of behavior, according to a number of authors, influence their realization and the achieved sports results. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationships among Coaching Efficacy, Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Style of Bulgarian football coaches. The research was done not directly among 172 football coaches between 20 and 56 years, with different level of qualifications (license), age group of the competitors, coaching experience, and experience as football players. In order to achieve the aim, we used: 1) Coaching Efficacy Scale (CES), (Feltz et al. 1999); 2) Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), (Schutte et al. 1998); 3) Revised Leadership Scale for Sport (RLSS),( Zhang et al. 1997). The results reveal significant correlation interdependencies between the subscales of Coaching efficacy, Emotional Intelligence and part of the subscales of Leadership style, as well as between the subscales of Emotional intelligence and Leadership style. In this sense, our results confirm the data in the literature. There are significant differences among the coaches along all of the researched indexes. The results from the regression analysis reveal that Emotional intelligence serves as a predictor of Coaching efficacy and Leadership style. Coaching efficacy does not directly influence the subscales of Leadership style, which is different from the published data in the literature.
Pengampunan: Penerapan Prinsip-Prinsip Alkitabiah dari Ajaran Yesus dalam Membangun Hubungan dengan Tuhan dan Sesama
Authors: Sumiwi Asih Rachmani Endang , Santo Joseph Christ , Thusiapratama Gabriel Levi
Published: June 2022

Abstract: One of the Bible principles that Jesus taught is forgiveness. The teaching of forgiveness becomes a normative command if it is not accompanied by an applicative explanation. With a descriptive qualitative approach, the author systematically describes the practical application of forgiveness. This study came to the conclusion that forgiveness is an act of accepting and making peace with the person or situation that caused it. The reason for forgiveness is that because a believer has been reconciled to God, he should also live at peace with others. Forgiveness is an active decision to rebuild a relationship that has been damaged, and thus forgiving people is the same as solving problems. Christians must have the willingness to forgive without limits: without being limited in the frequency of mistakes, without being limited in time, and without being limited in the magnitude of the mistakes. Forgiveness has an impact on oneself and in relationships with God and others.Keyword: Forgiveness, Make Peace, Impact of ForgivenessAbstrak: Salah satu prinsip Alkitab yang diajarkan Yesus adalah hal mengampuni. Ajaran tentang pengampunan menjadi sebuah perintah normatif bila tidak disertai penjelasan aplikatif. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, penulis memaparkan secara sistematis aplikasi praktis dari mengampuni. Penelitian ini sampai pada kesimpulan bahwa mengampuni adalah tindakan menerima dan berdamai dengan orang atau keadaan yang menjadi penyebabnya. Alasan mengampuni adalah karena orang percaya telah diperdamaikan dengan Allah semestinya ia juga hidup berdamai dengan sesama. Mengampuni merupakan suatu keputusan aktif membangun kembali hubungan yang sudah rusak, dan dengan demikian orang yang mengampuni sama dengan menyelesaikan persoalan. Orang Kristen harus memiliki kerelaan untuk mengampuni tanpa batas: tanpa dibatasi frekuensi kesalahan, tanpa dibatasi jangka waktu, dan tanpa dibatasi besarnya kesalahan. Pengampunan memberikan dampak bagi diri sendiri maupun dalam relasi dengan Tuhan dan sesama.Kata Kunci: Mengampuni, Berdamai, Dampak Pengampunan

Detection of epileptic seizures on EEG signals using Decision Tree, KNN, SVM and ensemble classifiers
Authors: Meshram Pallavi S. , Gharpure Damayanti C.
Published: June 2022

Epilepsy is a neurological condition resulting to brain cell stimulation. According to the findings of the research, an electroencephalogram (EEG) can identify epileptic episodes in patients who have epilepsy. Performance evaluations based on EEG detection of epilepsy require feature extraction methods. As a result of our research, we were able to identify a number of different feature extraction approaches. These methodologies were dependent upon nonlinear, wavelet-based entropy characteristics, time - frequency domain characteristics, and a few statistical traits. An additional in-depth examination that made use of cutting-edge machine learning classifiers as well as numerous factors was carried out. When evaluating kernels for support vector machines, the multiclass kernel as well as the box constraint levels are both useful tools. In a similar manner, we computed the various distance measures, neighbour weights, and neighbour relationships for the K-nearest neighbours (KNN). In a similar manner, we altered the decision trees of the paramours depending on maximal splits as well as split criteria, and we evaluated the ensemble classifiers based on a variety of ensemble approaches and learning rates.

Our Own Images and Truths?: The Futures and Failures of the Queer Appalachia Project
Authors: Cloe Maxwell
Published: June 2022

In August of 2020, a Washington Post article, written by author Emma Eisenberg, convincingly alleged that popular LGBTQ+ Instagram account @queerappalachia had engaged in financial dishonesty, the unapproved use of artists’ works, and an overall lack of transparency regarding their mutual aid efforts. Simply put, Queer Appalachia harmed the very same people that they claimed to represent—Appalachians who are queer, BIPOC (black, Indigenous, [and] people of color), working-class, and/or disabled. For all of these harms and failures, however, the Queer Appalachia Instagram account and ’zine, Electric Dirt, remain unique texts that challenge the metronormative and whitewashed stereotypes of Appalachia. I use theories of queer archives and contemporary understandings of race in Appalachia to explore how the Queer Appalachia Instagram account and Electric Dirt still provide invaluable subversions of the popular caricatures of the region. I additionally interrogate the controversy around Queer Appalachia, looking at how capitalist appropriation of mutual aid, digital blackface, and faulty metaphors of “decolonization” harmed many communities in Appalachia. My aim is not to vindicate Queer Appalachia but to highlight the group's successes and failures, salvage the important work that they have done, and hopefully provide a helpful model for future endeavors in Appalachia and beyond.

Published: June 2022

Finansallaşma, kapitalizmin son kırk yıllık dönüşümünü açıklayan önemli kavramlardan biridir. Dijital ve finansal alanda yaşanan gelişmeler dikkate alındığında, teknoloji ile finansallaşma arasında güçlü bir bağ bulunmaktadır. Yüzyılın başından bu yana hızla yükselen büyük teknoloji şirketlerinin iş modelleri, dijital ve finansal alanı giderek daha fazla bütünleştirmektedir. Bu bağlamda, dijital ve finansal alanların bütünleşmesi, finansallaşma literatüründe dijital finansallaşma olarak tanımlanan yeni bir kavram ortaya çıkarmıştır. Finansal alandaki dönüşüme öncülük eden dijitalleşme, 2008 yılı itibariyle dijital dönüşümün yeni aşaması olan blok zincir teknolojisi ve kripto para piyasalarını finansal sisteme dâhil etmiştir. Blok zincir teknolojisinin yeni finansal iş modelleri ve kripto para piyasaları, oldukça yeni ve dinamik bir alandır. Ancak, farklı iş modellerinin her biri finansallaşma çatısı altında birleşmektedir. Finansal dijitalleşmenin önemli parçaları olarak blok zincir teknolojisi ve yeni finansal iş modellerinin finansallaşma bağlantıları litertürde ihmal edilmiştir. Bu makale, blok zincir teknolojisinin yeni finansal iş modellerini ve kripto para piyasalarını dijital finansallaşma kavramı üzerinden ele almakta ve betimleyici analiz yöntemiyle incelemektedir. Makalenin amacı, kripto para piyasalarının finansallaşma bağlantılarını ortaya koymak ve dijital finansallaşma kavramını blok zincir teknolojisini de kapsayacak biçimde genişletmektir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, blok zincir teknolojisi dijital verileri herhangi bir üretim ilişkisine dâhil olmadan doğrudan kripto para formuna dönüştürerek finansallaşmasını sağlamaktadır. Blok zincir teknolojisi ve yeni finansal iş modelleri, kripto paralar eliyle dijital ve finansal alanları bütünleştirdiği ölçüde finansallaşma alanını genişletmekte ve derinleştirmektedir.
AN INVESTIGATION OF JOSEPH BEUYS' 7000 OAK PROJECT BY GREIMAS' SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS METHOD
Authors: ŞAHİN Derya , ARAT Kübra Nur
Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmada, çağdaş sanatın önemli isimlerinden olan Joseph Beuys’un, kolektif bir birliktelik ve iyi bir toplum anlayışına hizmet için başlattığı 7000 Meşe projesinin göstergebilim yöntemine uygun bir şekilde analizi gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bunun için aşamalı katmanlardan oluşan ve bütün dizgeleri çözümlemeye yarayan Paris Göstergebilim Okulu’nun çözümleme anlayışı tercih edilmiştir. Göstergebilim yapısalcı dilbilim unsurları ile geliştirilen anlam bilim yöntemidir. Gösterge bilimin amacı anlamın üretilme, algılanma ve anlaşılma süreçlerini kavramsal bir çerçeve ile ortaya koymaktır. Bu süreç mantık temelli yöntemler kullanılarak belirli bir yol izlemeyi içerir. Algirdas Julien Greimas’ın kurucusu olduğu ve sanat eserlerinin çözümlenmesi sürecinde de kullanılabilen bu yöntem, değişen anlamlamalar ve birbirini içeren, birbirini tanımlayan, birbirini denetleyen üç ayrı düzeyi içermektedir.
Beuys’un 7000 Meşe projesi, Almanya’nın Kassel şehrinde her beş yılda bir tekrarlanan ve 1982’de Documante 7’nin açılışında ilk meşe ağacının dikimi ile başlayan ve devam eden çevreci bir projedir. Temelde, içinde meşe, ardıç, kestane gibi türlerin bulunduğu 7000 ağaç ve her ağacın dibine dikilecek 7000 bazalt taşından oluşan bu proje, her on yılda ağaçların dibindeki bazalt taşlarının çıkartılıp başka bir yere başka ağaçlarla birlikte dikilecek şekilde planlanmıştır. Bu yönüyle yaşayan bir proje halini almıştır.
Çalışmada elde edilen bulgulara göre, yedi bin meşe ağacının dikilmesi, yalnızca sembolik bir başlangıçtır. Ve böyle bir sembolik başlangıç için ağaçların yanında bulunan bazalt sütunlar bir nevi işaretleyici görev üstlenmiştir. Bu proje kapsamında gerçekleşen ağaç dikme olayının, tüm yaşamın, toplumun ve tüm ekolojik sistemin dönüşümüne işaret etmekte olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Accurate estimation of the surface dose in radiotherapy of patients with head and neck cancer is very important in terms of treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the surface dose for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of head and neck cancer using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). In addition, it is aimed to examine the surface dose estimates of the treatment planning system (TPS) for different grid sizes. Before the computed tomography (CT) images were taken for 15 head and neck cancer patients, 5 different points determined in the neck region were marked in a way that would not cause artifacts. IMRT plans are created for 1.5 and 2.5 mm grid sizes. Surface doses were obtained for TPS calculations and TLD measurements at 5 different points in the neck region. Surface doses obtained from TLD measurements and TPS calculations with different grid sizes were compared. All patients received 3-stage adaptive radiotherapy (ART) and the surface dose comparison was repeated for each plan. According to plan 0, the height of TLD measurements for the 1.5 and 2.5 mm grid size were 4.06% and 7.87%, respectively. In Plan 1, the difference between TPS and TLD doses was 4.00% and 8.15% for grid size 1.5mm and 2.5mm, respectively (p=0.00 and p=0.00). For dose measurements from Plan 2, the difference between TPS and TLD doses was 4.07% and 9.96% for grid size 1.5mm and 2.5mm, respectively (p=0.00 and p=0.00). Surface doses obtained in TLD measurements for all treatment plans were higher than in TPS dose calculations. Accurate estimation of the surface dose in head and neck cancer radiotherapy is very important for treatment. Surface doses calculated with TPS are usually lower than the prescribed dose. Therefore, during the evaluation of radiotherapy plans, it should be considered that TPS underestimates the surface dose. This ratio can be determined by dosimetric measurements. Thermoluminescent dosimeters are suitable equipment for this process.
The Death of Germanicus: Disease or Murder?
Authors: Meledandri Giovanni
Published: June 2022

Julius Caesar Germanicus died on Oct. 10th 19 C.E., in Epidaphne near Antioch of Syria, under mysterious circumstances, after days of unexplained suffering [1, 2, 3], at the age of 33 (uncertain 34), under the reign of Tiberius. He himself invoked poisoning while some historians lean towards a disease. The case, whose circumstances are controversial both from a political and a medical point of view, remains, even today, difficult to explain and represents a real historical enigma.

Authors: Almasoodi Majda Hameed , Sayed Ali Hala Yehia
Published: June 2022

Background: Role transition involves concerted efforts to optimize the transformation of the nursing students into practice nurses with an outstanding experience. Nursing students have different expectations and perceptions towards the role transition process. Graduate nurses lack the competence and sufficient preparation for the ever-changing professional nursing practice. The study purposed to assess the role transition of baccalaureate nursing students from the Umm Al Qura University.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to gather insights from a simple random sample (n = 102) of baccalaureate nursing students from Umm Al Qura University. Data were collected using an electronic self-administered questionnaire from year four and interns nursing students at Umm Al Qura University.Results: Results indicate that baccalaureate nursing students define role transition as role preparation, role competence, support, and organization. The three elements reveal different personal and organizational factors contributing to the assumption of new roles as registered nurses. Role preparation entails the provision of course content, management skills, teamwork, and multidisciplinary care. Role competence comprised the attainment of fundamental skills while nursing students expected to receive support from the healthcare organizations and the university.Conclusions: Role transition encompasses role preparation, role competence, support, and organization for the nursing students. Future studies should investigate the contributing factors to the feedback process between the nursing interns or final year students and the RNs or CNMs in the clinical practice during role transition.

Girişimcilik, ekonomik, sosyal, kültürel ve teknolojik gelişmenin sağlanmasında en etkin faktörlerden biridir. Kadın girişimciliği, girişimcilik faaliyetlerinin kadınlar tarafından yerine getirilmesidir. Girişimcilik faaliyetleri, kadınların geleneksel rollerinin dışına çıkmasına ve küresel iş ortamının bir parçası haline gelmesine neden olmuştur. İş-yaşam dengesi, bireyin günlük iş faaliyetleri ile iş dışı faaliyetlerini dengelemesi anlamına gelmektedir. İş-yaşam dengesi, çalışanlar açısından iş hayatı ile özel hayatlarını sorunsuz sürdürebilmeleri konusunda kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, kadın girişimcilerin iş-yaşam dengelerinin demografik faktörlere göre değişip değişmediğini belirlemektir. Araştırmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini İzmir’in Konak ve Bornova ilçelerinde faaliyet gösteren 212 kadın girişimci oluşturmuştur. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, kadın girişimcilerin iş yaşam dengesinin; yaş, medeni durum, çalışma süresi, çalıştığı sektör, çocuk sahibi olma ve bakmakla yükümlü kişinin var olması durumuna göre farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Kırk ve üzeri yaş grubunda olan kadın girişimciler, boşanmış kadın girişimciler ve çocuğu olan kadın girişimcilerin iş yüklerinin diğer gruplara göre daha fazla, sağlık kalitesi ve aile desteğinin daha düşük olduğu bulgulanmış; iş yaşam dengesini sağlayamadıkları anlaşılmıştır. Sağlık sektöründeki kadın girişimcilerin de iş yaşam dengesini sağlayamadıkları; iş yaşam dengesini en iyi sağlayan girişimcilerin, bekâr kadın girişimciler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

This paper aimed to address the current gaps of health and safety measures done by the institutions and establishments to counter Covid-19. The current system has the manual way of getting temperature of each individual; using hand sprays and washing of hands, the attendance using logbooks and biometrics are some of the fastest ways of transmitting virus that poses risks to the people. Thus, these gaps pushed the researchers to find an alternative way of carrying out things and lessen the risks. Safe Booth was developed as a platform composed of microcontrollers and electronic circuits that records the attendance, scans for temperature and disinfects the employees, students, dwellers, residents of the village, apartments, condos and etc. Likewise, it features a thermal camera, RFID / QR / for attendance, UVC disinfection, Buzzer, Web Portal that displays the profile and temperature, Real-time data monitoring via dashboard. With this, it will not eliminate the virus but at least it will help to prevent its spread. The researchers used the Agile: Scrum methodology of software engineering as a framework. Following the framework, the researchers sat down with the stakeholders and collected their concerns and listed it as user stories. The researchers then gave the user stories a schedule of activity and the corresponding module was created to create a solution to the existing problems. Along with this is the collection of resources and staffing. During the development, the team leader conducted daily standup meetings with the whole team and respondents to make sure the all the project deliverables are met and the project is at the right pace.

The checking and monitoring of On-the-Job Trainee’s Attendance (OJT) faced several problems in the end of the OJT coordinators and the home institution. Some of the problems are checking the attendance of the OJT validation and verification of students’ attendance, tracking the students’ real-time OJT progress and generating up to date reports. It becomes even very alarming when the OJT Coordinators lost track the students’ OJT progress. This study sought to investigate and implement a solution using technology innovation mainly the internet of things to make checking of attendance and monitoring of progress effective and convenient. Using the Agile: Scrum methodology of software engineering, the researchers conducted a series of stakeholder’s meetings with the OJT coordinators to collect user stories. After the collection, the researchers developed a schedule of activities, staffing, hardware and software requirements in order to carry out all the tasks needed to deliver the fully functional product. To keep track the progress of the project, the Scrum master conducted a daily standup meeting with the team in order to express the points that might hinder the pace of the development. The team leader also communicates daily with the clients to give them a comprehensive update. Findings revealed that the current manual system used to check the OJT attendance and track OJT progress which is prone to fraud and tampering which causes record irregularities. Thus, there is a need to develop an internet of things based (IOT) based hardware and software application that checks the attendance and view reports in real-time. By this means, frauds on attendances and records were eliminated as the attendance system is secured. Keywords: Face Recognition, Internet of Things, Microcomputing, OpenCV, CoVid Response

Authors: BOZZA Sara
Published: June 2022

The article offers a summary of the recent monographic study on the Ionic architecture of Hierapolis of Phrygia (S. Bozza, Architettura ionica a Hierapolis di Frigia, Hierapolis di Frigia XIV, Istanbul, 2020), analysed in the context of imperial architecture of Asia Minor. In the first part, the article gives a brief account of the main Ionic monuments of the city in a chronological order. Then, a description of the diachronic evolution of the Ionic architecture of Hierapolis is provided from the point of view of the iconographic schemes and the use of decorative patterns, with special attention to the Ionic capitals. In the third part, I propose some reflections on the development of local formal language and on the role of marble workshops; specifically, I analyse some iconographic and stylistic features of the Ionic architecture of Hierapolis, especially focusing of the capitals, the workmanship of the echinus and the canalis of the volute. Lastly, in the fourth section, the article offers some remarks on the architectural layout and the symbolic values of the monuments, emphasising that the Ionic order represented a distinctive feature of both sacred architecture and public monuments of Hierapolis throughout the imperial period, as a powerful symbol of the local identity, since it was inspired by the most ancient urban landscapes of the Microasiatic cities.
