This article explores the significance of cultural heritage conservation and archaeological heritage in sustainable development, focusing on Tekirdağ, Turkey’s region with a rich archaeological heritage. Turkey faces threats like rapid urbanization, smuggling, terrorism, war, and climate change, which pose challenges to protecting archaeological materials. Museums play a vital role in understanding and preserving cultural heritage sustainably. They act as public spaces that contribute to urban identity and raise awareness through exhibitions and educational programs. Archaeological museums, specifically, have the potential to promote cultural tourism and support economic development by attracting tourists and creating job opportunities for local communities. This article discusses the possibility of a contemporary and sustainable archaeological museum in Tekirdağ, addressing the weaknesses of the city's existing museums. In this context, the article focuses on the museum proposal incorporating contemporary architecture, interactive exhibition techniques, and technological innovations like augmented reality and virtual tours for Tekirdağ. In the second part of the article, the design of an interactive archeological museum for Tekirdağ is presented based on the proposals of architecture students at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University. Design proposals show that these advancements would make the visitor experience more engaging and accessible, showcasing the city’s past and contributing to education, culture, and tourism to preserve its heritage for future generations.

Authors: Tarhuni Fares , Mahat Rupesh
Published: December 2024

Many road construction projects often go over budget. Take longer than expected. This research focuses on pinpointing the reasons, for delays and cost increases in road construction ventures in Libya. A survey was conducted with owners, consultants and contractors involved in road projects in Libya resulting in 163 completed questionnaires being analyzed. The study examined 55 factors identified through literature review. Improper planning emerged as the factor leading to project delays and cost overruns in road projects. Respondents ranked factors based on their impact with the top five issues being lack of experience with contracts, political instability, unrealistic contract durations and insufficient details and specifications. The insights gained from this study can aid all parties involved in construction projects to better handle delays and cost overruns. Researchers focusing on delay causes and cost escalations, in developing countries within the realm of road construction can also benefit from these findings.

Ontology Non Finitio
Authors: Vidinsky Vassil
Published: December 2024

The article addresses key ontological issues related to the book
“What is Ontology? Counter Definitions” (2023) by Dimitar Vatsov and Boyan
Manchev. The analysis is divided into five parts: (1) The first part outlines the
broader philosophical context and the contemporary Bulgarian intellectual
milieu. (2) The second part examines the discourse on what exists, how ontology
is conducted, whether it can be normative, and critically assesses whether this
discipline can be considered subjective. (3) The third part is brief, highlighting
the limitations of using definitions and axioms in philosophy. (4) The fourth part
explores specific case studies: existence as a quality, actuality as presentism, the
role of contingency, the resistance and mutation of bodies, and concludes with the
central theme of natural language and its relationship to existence. (5) The final
section highlights several strengths of the book and calls for broader discussion
within the philosophical community.
The Limits of Philological Reading – Some Observations on the Internal Limits in The Humanities
Authors: Popov Ivan
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the problem of the boundaries in contemporary humanities – if “everything is a text” and the process of assimilation and interpretation of new meanings is fundamentally open and infinite, then do we have any grounds to distinguish between different kinds of understanding of the cultural phenomena surrounding us? The central thesis of the article is that precisely those claims that are theoretical in nature should be read and discussed in a way that is alien to the philological perspective. However, this is not necessarily a problem – the internal heterogeneity of humanitarian thinking may be an advantage considering the point of development reached in the “camp” of the natural sciences.
Ontological Considerations of the Projectizing Community in “Philosophical Wondering” Method for Doing Philosophy with Children

Considering the leading position in the ontology of philosophy
sessions at present, namely: building of “community of inquiry”, here I discuss
the advantages and the horizon that are created to philosophy and philosophizing
through the ontology of projectizing (producing, creating) community. The
ontologies of research on the one hand and project ontologies on the other differ.
In this way, philosophy is engaged with caring thinking on the projectivity beings.
Kateheza odraslih u kontekstu društvenih i crkvenih promjena
Authors: Filipović Ana Thea
Published: December 2024

Kakav je odnos kateheze i odraslih vjernika? Kako kulturno okruženje i pozicioniranje Crkve u društvu utječe na razumijevanje kateheze odraslih? U predvečerje Drugoga vatikanskog koncila u pastoralnoj praksi Crkve u Europi postajala je sve očitijom kriza tradicionalnog modela kršćanske inicijacije putem religiozne socijalizacije, koji se oslanjao na potporu »kršćanskog društva« i tzv. »društvenog katekumenata«. Promijenjeno društveno i kulturno ozračje osvijestilo je središnje značenje kateheze odraslih za izgrađivanje osobne vjere i zrele crkvene pripadnosti vjernika u sekulariziranom i svjetonazorski pluralnom okruženju. Ta je činjenica povod za propitivanje esencijalnog i funkcionalnog značenja kateheze odraslih u ovom članku. Nakon kratkih povijesnih uvida, počevši od same novozavjetne prakse i početaka Crkve, poseban naglasak stavlja se na društvene i crkvene promjene u razdoblju koje je prethodilo Koncilu. Zatim se obrađuje značenje Koncila za pastoralnu praksu i katehezu odraslih te se analiziraju poslijekoncilski katehetski dokumenti s obzirom na ulogu koju pridaju katehezi odraslih. Naposljetku se prikazuju novi izazovi za katehezu i religiozno obrazovanje odraslih u suvremenim pluralnim kontekstima na pozadini dubokih kulturnih promjena te u odnosu na komunitarno i sinodalno poimanje Crkve i njezina poslanja u svijetu novih izazova u 21. stoljeću.
Obilježja aktualnih duhovnih tendencija Crkve u Hrvata
Authors: Podgorelec Franjo
Published: December 2024

Duhovnost se bavi asimilacijskim aspektom objave (fides qua), ukoliko je subjekt usvaja te ona postaje njegovo iskustvo. Riječ je o životu koji je animiran i organiziran iz odnosa s Trojedinim Bogom i kao takav on je integracijska točka čovjekova života te utječe na njegove izbore i cjelokupan njegov život i djelovanje. Iz tog odnosa on gradi svoj osobni, obiteljski, međuljudski, profesionalni i eklezijalno-društveni angažman. U članku se analiziraju četiri dominantne duhovne tendencije u našoj Crkvi: konzervativna tendencija, »adolescentski progresivizam,« karizmatska tendencija te međugorski duhovni pokret. Promatraju se njihove pozitivne i izgrađujuće sastavnice kao i one koje smjeraju jednostranosti, pa i eventualnom zastranjenju. Pluralizam karizmi koje potiče Duh Sveti unutar mističnog tijela Kristova, kao i različite antropološke, eklezijalne i društvene okolnosti, zahtijevaju da nitko ne može pretendirati na ekskluzivnost svoga duhovnog puta i pravca. Zato svaka od spomenutih tendencija mora biti svjesna parcijalnosti svoga gledišta, znajući da je samo u Crkvi kao cjelini u punini nazočan Duh Sveti. Za rast pojedinaca i skupina unutar navedenih tendencija neophodno je gajiti dijalošku otvorenost kao i sposobnost da naizgled dvije oprečne stvarnosti integriraju u svoj osobni život (antinomije duhovnoga života), kao što su: akcija i kontemplacija, poslušnost i osobna inicijativa, askeza i humanizam, angažiranost u svijetu, a imunost na svjetovni duh i slično.
Analiza vjerske prakse u Hrvatskoj
Authors: Baloban Stjepan
Published: December 2024

Prakticiranje vjere u Hrvatskoj je u posljednjih 15-ak godina doživjelo značajne promjene jer se uz tradicionalne oblike vjerske prakse pojavljuju novi oblici, koji su još uvijek neistraženo područje. Stoga rad pod naslovom »Analiza vjerske prakse u Hrvatskoj: socijalno-etička i pastoralna perspektiva« propituje, s jedne strane, različite oblike vjerske, odnosno vjerničke prakse a, s druge strane, nastoji takvu situaciju suočiti s trenutačnim crkvenim i teološkim prioritetima te ukazati na socijalno-etičke i pastoralne izazove. U prvoj točki naslovljenoj »Suočiti se s realnošću promjena u vjerskoj praksi u Hrvatskoj« autor na osobit način problematizira crkveno i teološko nepoznavanje vjerničke prakse u udrugama, pokretnima i zajednicama vjernika laika te posebno novije oblike prakticiranja vjere u tzv. virtualnom svijetu. Čini se da u takvoj situaciji slabi utjecaj Crkve i teologije na vjersku praksu, a jača utjecaj pojedinaca i različitih skupina koji su nepoznati crkvenoj javnosti. Druga točka naslovljena »Trenutačni teološki i crkveni prioriteti u Hrvatskoj« ukazuje na važnost teološke analize prakticiranja vjere u Hrvatskoj, osobito u odnosu na nove oblike vjerske prakse, jer postoji ozbiljna opasnost da tu novu vjerničku stvarnost interpretiraju isključivo civilni mediji preko svojih »stručnjaka« za vjerska pitanja. Autor također konstatira svojevrsno slabljenje crkvenog zanimanja za aktivan angažman vjernika laika u crkvenom i društvenom životu u usporedbi s prvih deset do petnaest godina hrvatske demokracije. U takvoj situaciji treća točka pod naslovom »Socijalno-etički i pastoralni izazovi« ukazuje na potrebu unutarcrkvene rasprave o različitim oblicima vjerske prakse u odraslih vjernika u Hrvatskoj. Preduvjet za to, a onda i svojevrstan prioritet, jest prikupiti glavne podatke o svim oblicima laičkog udruživanja u Hrvatskoj. Tek nakon toga moguće su ozbiljnije teološke i crkvene rasprave o vjerskoj praksi kako u odnosu na unutarcrkveni život koji se mijenja tako i s obzirom na promijenjene okolnosti u odnosu Crkve i društva te Crkve i države. To pretpostavlja nastavak procesa susreta i sučeljavanja vjernika laika i službene Crkve, koji je pod organizacijskim vidom oslabio nakon Osijeka 2001. godine. Promjene u vjerskoj praksi u Hrvatskoj izazov su za crkveno-teološki život kao takav, a posebno pod pastoralnim i socijalno-etičkim vidom. Autor zaključuje da ne bi nikako bilo dobro da crkveni i društveni život vjernika laika u Hrvatskoj više usmjeravaju različite crkvene, ali i civilne udruge koje vode vjernici laici, a da utjecaj službene Crkve i teologije na vjernički život u Hrvatskoj postupno slabi.
Obilježja zrele vjere
Authors: Šarčević Ivan
Published: December 2024

Od svih životnih dobi najteže je pastorizirati odrasle, posebno muškarce. Na njih se ne može toliko izvanjski utjecati nagovorom ili prisilom, pogotovo ne afektivnom socijalizacijom, kao na djecu i mlade. U prosjeku gledano, najmanje u crkvu dolaze odrasli, nositelji života, obiteljski i društveno najaktivniji od svih generacija, među njima naročito muškarci. Neke oznake njihove vjere su: vjersko neznanje i samovoljno kreiranje vjere čak do praznovjerja; uslijed radnog aktivizma odbacivanje ili odugovlačenje susreta sa sobom, s drugima i s Bogom; raskorak između vjere i profesije, vjere i društvenog života, socijalnog angažmana koji bi bio motiviran vjerom. Neki odrasli, ali ne i zreli, pribjegavaju grupnim odgovorima, tj. tradicionalizmu, fundamentalizmu, laičkom klerikalizmu i integrizmu. Pastoral odraslih podrazumijevao bi dva smjera, jedan više sistematičan, drugi okazionalan, prigodni – oba s težištima na razumijevanju Božje riječi, odgovornom obiteljskom životu i aktivnom životu u društvu i Crkvi. U svakom slučaju, vrijedilo bi iznova odgajati za osobnu i odgovornu, zahvalnu i opuštenu, poučljivu i skromnu vjeru koja se potvrđuje u ljubavi i političkoj ljubavi.

Formulation and Investigation of Phenytoin Cream for Wound Healing in Rabbits
Authors: Ali Bassam Abduh , Al-Nahari Mogeb
Published: December 2024

Background: Phenytoin is used commonly as an anticonvulsant agent with potential wound-healing properties. Objective: To formulate and characterize topical creams of phenytoin and investigate the wound-healing effect in the animal model. Methods: Three oil-in-water emulsion-based cream formulas were prepared using white soft paraffin, cetyl alcohol, lanolin, and olive oil blends as an oil phase. The stability was enhanced by the addition of cetostearyl alcohol, Tween 80, and methylparaben. After in vitro characterization, creams were loaded with phenytoin. Full-thickness wounds were created on rabbits that were divided into three groups (six animals each). The test group received 10% phenytoin creams, the positive control received a placebo, and the negative control received no treatment. The wound-healing activity of phenytoin was evaluated by the wound closure rate. Results: All formulations exhibited desirable physicochemical properties, including appearance, texture, and spreadability. The in vitro release results demonstrated that formula 3 sustained the phenytoin release profile, followed by 2 and 1, respectively. Based on physicochemical properties, pH values, and release profiles, formula 2 was selected for animal studies. The wound closure rate in animals treated with phenytoin was 10%, which was significantly higher than that of other groups. These results reveal that the phenytoin promotes faster wound closure and increased reepithelialization. Conclusions: Phenytoin 10% cream could be used as a safe and effective topical wound-healing agent.

Published: December 2024

Electric tractors with its cutting-edge technological improvements represent a transformative shift in agricultural technology for achieving the broad objectives of sustainable and environment friendly farming practices. This review examines the current status, performance characteristics, and future perspectives of electric tractors, focusing on their potential to replace traditional diesel models. The analysis highlights the advantages of electric tractors, including lower operational costs, reduced maintenance, and zero emissions, which contribute to quieter and cleaner agricultural operations. This transformation is witnessing several challenges in terms of high initial costs, limited battery life and the need for extensive charging infrastructure. The performance of electric tractors, particularly in extreme climates, is also a significant concern, with battery efficiency and power output varying under different environmental conditions. Despite these challenges, advancements in battery technology and propulsion systems, along with supportive government policies, are paving the way for greater adoption of electric tractors. The review also discusses the variability in regional adoption rates, with Europe leading due to strong regulatory support, while other regions like North America and Asia-Pacific are witnessing sluggish growth. The integration of electric tractors into precision agriculture and smart farming systems presents exciting opportunities for the future, boosting both productivity and sustainability. The investment in innovations and infrastructure related to electric tractor and renewed supportive policies from the governmental sector can usher a revolution in agricultural production system with lower environmental impact.
Enhancing Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Cryptosystem Performance with a Modified Modular Exponentiation Algorithm
Authors: Mamo Debebe , Mulualem Yelkal
Published: December 2024

Summary - Public-key encryption, particularly RSA, is becoming increasingly important for e-commerce transactions these days. Many RSA-encoded messages can now be sent and received by a variety of digital consumer appliances, including smart cards and set-top boxes. However, the RSA algorithm is not suited to encrypt long communications since it involves exponentiation and multiplication of very large numbers. To close this gap, this study suggests an effective modular exponentiation method for the RSA cryptosystem that uses the square-multiply exponentiation methodology to increase the standard RSA cryptosystem's execution performance. The actual implementation is carried out using the MATLAB R2019a programming environment. Through a real-world MATLAB implementation, the proposed study examines the Standard RSA (SRSA) and Modified RSA (MRSA) cryptographic algorithms while considering several evaluation metrics like encryption time, decryption time, memory usage, throughput, and the avalanche effect. In terms of encryption and decryption time performance, the MRSA method performs 18.70409% and 17.46442% better than the SRSA algorithm, respectively. Additionally, the MRSA's avalanche value is 14.53511% higher than the SRSA's, showing its greater security. Furthermore, it achieves 15.80883% encryption throughput and 15.12928% decryption throughput, respectively, better than the SRSA approach. Overall, nevertheless, the MRSA algorithm requires a little more memory (1.05849%) than the SRSA since it makes use of an array list, which needs more memory.
Rhetoric of Dissent and Public Policies: a critical analysis of the controversy surrounding the “Future-se” Program (2019) on social media
Authors: Alves Escobar Sávio Henrique , Costa de Almeida Julia Maria , De Barros Souza Beatriz
Published: December 2024

This article aims to critically analyze the repercussions on social media surrounding the “Future-se” Program, created by the Ministry of Education (MEC) in 2019, based on Ruth Amossy’s (2017) contributions to the rhetoric of dissent. From the publication of the launch of the Program on MEC’s social media, ten comments were extracted for subsequent critical realist analysis of the discourse (Riley et al, 2007), according to the defining categories of the controversy as an argumentative modality: the dichotomization of arguments, the polarization of groups, and the disqualification of arguments and actors involved. All authors were anonymized, under current ethical precepts, according to their social roles in the controversy – proponent and opponent –, in an attempt to illustrate the positions implied therein. Thus, we hope to contribute to discussions that may have repercussions on different levels of public policies on Brazilian Education, in the present and the future.

A Rare Case of Impaired Consciousness, Compartment Syndrome and Rhabdomyolisis Following Local Dermal Exposure to Stinging Nettles (Urtica dioica)
Authors: Özden Hasan , Erenler Ali Kemal , Ağaçkıran İlter , Ağaçkıran Merve
Published: December 2024

Aim: Nettle (Urtica dioica) is widely used in traditional medicine but is also known for its irritating effects upon dermal contact. While local irritation is common, severe systemic reactions are rarely reported. In this case, we aim to present a patient who developed altered consciousness, rhabdomyolysis, and compartment syndrome following dermal exposure to Urtica dioica.

Case: An eighty-five-year-old female initially presented to the emergency department with localized itching and edema. However, on repeat admission days later, she exhibited confusion, agitation, and significant swelling in her left arm. Laboratory findings revealed rhabdomyolysis, with marked renal dysfunction, elevated creatine kinase, troponin, and inflammatory markers. Imaging ruled out intracranial pathology, and Doppler ultrasonography excluded vascular obstruction. Despite treatment, the patient required long-term care in a palliative setting.

Conclusion: Although Urtica dioica is traditionally known for its medicinal properties, its irritant effects can lead to serious systemic complications following dermal exposure. The findings highlight the potential life-threatening outcomes of a commonly encountered plant, emphasizing the need for awareness and prompt intervention in such cases. Clinicians should consider these risks when managing patients with similar presentations.

Published: December 2024

This project demonstrates an innovative web application that aims to deepen the communication between gesture
based clients and users of communicating through language. The application relies on advanced PC vision and AI
algorithms for a seamless interpretation between gesture and voice communications. By including MediaPipe for
hand gesture recognition and the Irregular Backwoods computation for movement classification, the system can
understand and translate motions into equivalent words in Tamil and English. The app makes use of a webcam that
captures hand movements, feeds them through a pre-trained Irregular Backwoods model, and then produces the
interpreted gesture-based communication in text form. The constant nature of the application allows clients to share
easily and multilingual support further fosters openness. The model's ability to be physically prepared and changed
ensures versatility and accuracy in a vast range of settings. With this innovation, the drive aims to fill communication
gaps and increase accessibility for the deaf and hard of hearing community, along with overcoming the limitations
of the current sign language interpretation systems.

Scope of Using Recycled Plastic and its Components as Building Materials
Authors: Likhar Ar. Anushka
Published: December 2024

Due to rise in unleashed industrial development, our world is now engulfed by solid wastes. In that huge pile of

wastes, plastic is one of the prime culprits for degrading our nature. The used plastics (which are not recycled) are
either end up in oceans or landfills and continue to create environmental problems. On regular basis, thousands of
tonnes of plastic waste is being created all around the world. Such type of situation can be created by using plastic
as a primary construction material for small houses.
The main objective of the research is to show how plastic as a construction material and various construction elements
can reduce the stacks of junk plastic piles around the globe. Along with that how it can reduce the time and labour
required for construction and also help to reduce the casualties during natural calamities like earthquake and to
understand the ‘total plastic’ construction phenomenon with its advantages and disadvantages. On one hand we have
problem of plastic waste management and on the other hand we have housing crises in urban areas. To combine and
come up with a solution we can use plastic recycled building materials as an affordable and quick construction source
for housing development for urban Regions. Also to understand the actual practical situation of using plastic houses
and required structure and method for shelters made out of such material will be analysed.

Designing a Multi-Epitope Candidate Vaccine against Zika Virus NS5 Protein Through Immunoinformatics Approach for Producing in Plant Systems
Authors: Reang Abhijit , Ghosh Dr. Arabinda
Published: December 2024

Background: The Zika virus is an infectious virus that belongs to the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted to humans
through mosquito vectors and poses a serious threat to human health. Despite available resources, there is currently
no effective and secure vaccine against the Zika virus to prevent such infections
Objective: Observation of symptoms including fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes) along with the
possibility of severe complications during pregnancy, including birth defects such as microcephaly, is noted in
infected individuals. So, it is the need of the hour to develop a potential vaccine that can immunize the human beings
against this virus and protect them. For the purpose of vaccine development against the Zika virus, bioinformatics
and immunoinformatics approaches are utilized.

Materials and methods: Different epitopes from RdRp Protein of Zika virus were predicted including B-Cell and T-
Cell epitopes. The selected epitopes were analyzed further in order to check their antigenicity, immunogenicity,

solubility and toxicity in correspondence to their ability to initiate immune response in the individuals. The potential
epitopes having the ability to trigger a good immune response and having non- toxic nature were utilized for vaccine
development. By combining the different epitopes, a potential multi-epitope vaccine construct was developed.
Combining of epitopes was done using EAAAK, AAY and GPGPG linkers. A 50S ribosomal protein was added at
N terminal to improve the immunogenicity of the vaccine and 6-His tag protein also added at C terminal.
Results: The constructed vaccine was found to have good population coverage all across the world. In molecular
docking, strong interactions were found between the constructed vaccine and Toll-like receptor 3 (-346.16),
suggesting their potential relevance in the immune response to the vaccine and dynamical stabilities were inspected
through molecular dynamic (MD) simulation methods. The developed vaccine construct also exhibited good results
of immune response in immune simulation and revealed that the constructed vaccine activates B and T lymphocytes
which induce high levels of antibodies and cytokines to combat Zika infection. The constructed vaccine is an effective
biomarker with non-toxicity, non-allergic properties, good immunogenicity, and antigenicity. However, experimental
assays are required to verify the results of the present study.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that design vaccine candidate effectively trigger immune response with no side
effects against Zika virus.

represents the apex of AI research, striving to replicate
human-like adaptability, reasoning, and learning across
diverse domains. While current AI systems excel in
specific, narrow tasks, they fall short of generalization,
creativity, and transferability. Inspired by Francois
Chollet’s “On the Measure of Intelligence,” this paper
synthesizes theoretical insights and practical
methodologies to propose a pathway toward AGI. We
introduce frameworks for hybrid architectures, embodied
learning, skill-acquisition benchmarks, and ethical
safeguards, creating a robust foundation for scalable and
human-aligned AGI.
