Authors: Eraslan Büşra , Uysal Ahmet
Published: October 2024

Üretim sektöründeki teknolojik ilerlemeler, geçmişten günümüze kadar sosyal ve ekonomik yaşamı köklü bir şekilde etkilemiştir. Özellikle Dördüncü Endüstri Devrimi, mevcut ve gelecek koşullarımızı inkâr edilemez biçimde dönüştürmektedir. Endüstri 4.0, ilk defa 2011 yılında Almanya tarafından, bir dizi yeni teknolojiyi bütünleştiren bir ekonomik ve politik strateji olarak ortaya konulmuştur. Diğer ülkeler de bu kavrama farklı tanımlar yükleyerek ulusal planlarını duyurmuşlardır. Endüstri 4.0 kavramı, iletişim ve bilişim teknolojileri, internet ve Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT), otomasyon, simülasyon, siber güvenlik, siber-fiziksel sistemler, büyük veri analizi, bulut bilişim, dijital ikizler, robotik ve yapay zeka gibi teknolojilerin üretim süreçlerindeki yoğun etkileşimi ve bu etkileşimin sonucunda meydana gelen dönüşümü ifade etmektedir. Endüstri 4.0, özellikle üretim sektöründe ekonomik yapıları derinden etkileyerek devletlerin rekabet gücünü artırmak ve hızlı teknolojik değişimlere adaptasyon sağlamak için stratejik planlamalar yapmalarına neden olmaktadır. Türkiye'de de son dönemlerde Endüstri 4.0'a büyük önem verilmekte ve bu yeni sanayi devrimine geçiş için stratejik yol haritaları geliştirilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı da , Endüstri 4.0 çerçevesinde tartışılan yeni teknolojilerin Türkiye'deki akıllı fabrikalarda yaşanan sosyo-mekansal dönüşümlerini anlamaktır. Bu bağlamda, çeşitli fabrikaların ve sektörlerin mevcut durumları ile geleceğe yönelik beklentileri hakkında genel bir çerçeve oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırma metodolojisi olarak derinlemesine görüşmeler ve söylem analizi kullanılmış, Endüstri 4.0'a uyum sürecinde olan işletmelerin yöneticileri ve dijitalleşme alanında uzman kişilerle görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında, çeşitli fabrika ve sektör temsilcileri ile yapılan görüşmelere ek olarak, medyada öne çıkan sektör liderlerinin açıklamaları da analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcılar, Endüstri 4.0'a geçişin zorunlu olduğunu belirtmişler, ancak yeni teknolojilerin işletmelere entegrasyonunda mevcut bilgi, bilişim ve iletişim altyapılarının yetersiz kaldığını ifade etmişlerdir.

The Indigenous Practice of Braiding Sweetgrass and the Expansion of Ethical Imagination
Authors: Pascal Eva M
Published: October 2024

The tradition of braiding sweetgrass in indigenous cultures is the practice of picking strands of the plant sweetgrass, drying the strands, and intertwining the distinct strands into a braid of different textures. This braid is given to others as a form of goodwill and gratitude. The braids are also used and burned during ceremonies and prayers. Indigenous tradition teaches that the sweet smell and smoke are attractive to good spirits and can carry prayers to the spirit realm. The Greek origin of the botanical nomenclature for sweetgrass, hierochloe, derives from the words sacred (hieros) and grass (chloe). This study utilizes accounts of indigenous sweetgrass practices and myths in anthropological and religious studies fields to evaluate how indigenous approaches serve to expand Western ethical imagination around plants and ecological preservation. Indigenous harvesting practices and uses of sweetgrass are embedded in sacred myths and assumptions about the interconnection between humanity and plants. In this interconnection, plants and humans are envisioned to be in a sacred relationship of symbiotic mutuality. The indigenous understanding of the relationality between plants and humans provides a different, potentially instructive paradigm in contrast to common Western understandings of ecology and ethics around plants.

Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as vivências de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho de profissionais de referência do Programa de Reabilitação Profissional do Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social. Método: Foi obtida uma listagem com os profissionais vinculados a uma agência sede do interior do Estado de São Paulo, que atuavam em nove cidades. Foram realizadas visitas aos locais de trabalho e entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, que foram transcritas para serem submetidas à técnica de análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: Participaram do estudo dez profissionais de referência, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 29 e 64 anos. Nos depoimentos surgiram conflitos com a perícia médica, retrocessos e limitações no Programa, fragilidades nos laços de cooperação, ausência de reconhecimento pelos esforços despendidos, entre outros, gerando injustiças, violências e sofrimento no cotidiano de trabalho. Considerações Finais: Há necessidade de revisão do modelo de Reabilitação Profissional e de se dar atenção à saúde mental dos profissionais de referência e dos segurados atendidos. As situações vivenciadas e a diminuição do papel do Estado nos assuntos sociais precarizaram o trabalho desses profissionais, bem como dificultaram as possibilidades de reinserção no mercado de trabalho dos segurados por eles atendidos.

Published: October 2024

Esta entrevista busca explorar as possibilidades e limitações da Justiça do Trabalho diante do processo de uberização. Processo esse que tem tornado o patrão invisível e tem aprofundado a precarização do trabalho para milhares de pessoas, no atual estágio de acumulação capitalista. O interesse por pensar a relação Justiça do Trabalho e uberização provém da sentença proferida pela Juíza do Trabalho Alda de Barros Araújo Cabús, na 9ª Vara do Trabalho de Maceió, Alagoas. A sentença reconheceu o vínculo de emprego entre o motorista e a Uber do Brasil Tecnologia Ltda. Trata-se de uma das primeiras sentenças que reconhecem tal vínculo no nordeste brasileiro. A entrevista foi realizada de forma remota, em agosto de 2022. A partir da conversa com Alda Cabús, foi possível refletir sobre a intensidade das transformações dos mundos do trabalho, bem como pensar os fins da Justiça do Trabalho em nosso país. Argumentamos que esta entrevista contribui para a ação política dos trabalhadores uberizados e para aprofundar a reflexão sobre políticas públicas, que possam garantir o direito social ao trabalho decente.

Authors: Chukhrova M. G. , Pronin S. V. , Sobolnikov V. V. , Kuular S. D.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. It is assumed that the functional asymmetry of the brain must be taken into account in a complex of other predisposing factors that influence the tendency to various kinds of deviations in adolescents, in particular, the consumption of psychoactive substances.Purpose setting. The aim of the study was to study the relationship between functional asymmetry of the brain and the consumption of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine) in adolescents of the South Siberian regions (Tuva, Altai).Methodology and methods of the study. 2 559 adolescents aged 14–17 years, students of educational institutions were examined. All students completed a specially designed questionnaire on their substance use. Motor, sensory and mental asymmetry have been studied. The test «Self-assessment of mental states of personality» was applied for adolescence by G. Aizenk in the interpretation of O. V. Zikeeva. The statistical analysis was carried out in the SPSS-26 program.Results. It has been shown that right-hemisphere adolescents have significantly more pronounced anxiety, frustration and rigidity, indicating a violation of social adaptation and predisposing to the consumption of psychoactive substances, which indirectly confirms the influence of functional asymmetry of the brain. Right- brain adolescents are more vulnerable to nicotine and alcohol. Conclusion. The results obtained allow us to substantiate prevention strategies that should take into account the functional asymmetry of the target audience’s brain.
Understanding the aims of education from a perspective of social ecology
Authors: Rakhinsky D. V. , Panasenko G. V. , Melnikova T. V. , Mineev V. V. , Shtumpf S. P.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The article discusses the features of approaches to understanding issues in the philosophy of education, based on the principles and data of social ecology. Such environmentalist approaches, anticipated in E. Haeckel’s works, are actively developing today, which is reflected, in particular, in the existence of specialized periodicals and the formation of special thematic spaces for discussion.Purpose setting. The authors attempt to identify the socio- philosophical foundations of environmentalist approaches to education. At the center of the discussion presented in the article are environmentalist judgments regarding the question of the goals of education.Methodology and methods of the study. To solve this problem, the authors carry out a content-critical and comparative analysis of environmental solutions presented in domestic and foreign literature.Results. It is shown that from a socio-philosophical point of view, the environmentalist understanding of the relationship between the spheres of public life is not without interest. Many of the supporters of this direction make critical judgments regarding the influence of economic social institutions on the functioning of society and its development. Environmental problems, for which the educational transformations proposed by environmentalists are aimed at finding solutions, are determined from their point of view by social factors. In fact, environmental themes are used by environmentalists to argue for different views on education, based on differing attitudes not only of a theoretical but also of a political nature.Conclusion. The analysis carried out shows that it is advisable to consider environmentalism and social ecological philosophy of education as a thematically homogeneous complex of substantively different solutions. Such approaches are the result of reflection on the classical problems of philosophy of education with the help of «ecological» values and cognitive attitudes.
Indian philosophy as a precursor of the string theory of consciousness. Part 2
Authors: Belokopytov Yu. N. , Panasenko G. V.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The article examines the formation of the Ancient Indian philosophy and its connection to consciousness. The Indian philosophy has come a long way from its onset, in parallel with the Chinese and Ancient Greek philosophy. At the same time, the ideas of some of its branches and schools differ in a number of features. Purpose setting. By the example of the Sankhya school of philosophy, we have explored the evolution of the views of Ancient Indian philosophers on the evolution of the Universe, nature and man. We have put particular emphasis on the concept of consciousness.Methodology and methods of the study. In Sankhya system, the fundamental Prakriti and Purusha principles are identified. Other elements are supplementary. Ancient philosophers laid special emphasis on the three vibrating gunas. These are sattva, rajas, and tamas. We have revealed the functional connections between the gunas. The way they interact, in balance or dominance, determines the entire variety of material and spiritual processes. The evolution of the Universe in the Sankhya interpretation is close to the scientific theory of the Big Bang. The development of nature can be traced through the complication of atoms starting from the influence of a stimulus on unconscious chaos. The result of human evolution is the emergence of consciousness derivatives: intellect, mind and I (Ego). This allows better understanding of the behavioral characteristics of an existing personality. Yoga complements Sankhya system and makes it possible to transform consciousness in a number of states.Results. The analysis was carried out using scientific articles and monographs relatively unknown in the Russian press. Cognitive development occurs in a spiral. The scientific theory of strings appeared two and a half millennia after the emergence of the gunas concept. We have made a number of analogies between Ancient Indian gunas and contemporary string theory. And have substantiated the theory of consciousness not with quantum theory, but with a deeper string theory. The concept of consciousness is supported in line with the scientific paradigm of T. Kuhn. The leading ideas are the ideas about information of D. Chalmers and the physicist J. Wheeler.Conclusion. Thus, the phenomenon of consciousness has a silicon and biological basis. We insist on using the semantic concept of artificial consciousness instead of artificial intelligence. Therefore, between human consciousness and artificial consciousness there may be dangerous risks of dominance of the latter.

Authors: Tebekin A. V. , Lomakin O. E.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The relevance of the presented study is determined by the fact that the acceleration of climate change on the planet has a significant impact on almost all spheres of economic and social life of mankind, which imposes new requirements both on the information provided by hydrometeorological services and on the personnel of managers and specialists providing it.Purpose setting. The purpose of the presented studies is to summarize the world experience in the development of promising requirements for the skills and competence of managers and specialists of national meteorological services in the interests of forming a system of requirements for staffing and training of managers and specialists of hydrometeorological services of the Roshydromet system.Methodology and methods of the study. The methodological base of the research consists of well-known scientific works devoted to the promising requirements for the skills and competencies of managers and specialists of the hydrometeorological service. Results. The novelty of the obtained results lies in the fact that, based on the generalization of world experience in the development of promising requirements for the skills and competence of managers and specialists of national hydrometeorological services, it was found that when forming personnel management strategies, on the one hand, requirements are put forward for a wide range of competencies of personnel who own both traditional technologies and innovative technologies for processing and interpreting information based on IT. On the other hand, hydrometeorological services impose increased demands on themselves, which is manifested in strategic aspirations to form a holistic motivation system for their employees, covering all levels of human needs, according to substantive theories of motivation – from economic competitiveness to opportunities for training, development and self-expression.Conclusion. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of using world experience in developing promising requirements for the skills and competence of managers and specialists of national meteorological services when forming strategies for personnel management of hydrometeorological structures of the Roshydromet system.

Published: October 2024

Corn husk waste contains cellulose, which has the potential as a raw material for hydrogel preparation. Hydrogels can be applied as water purification, diapers, and superabsorbents. This study aimed to synthesize hydrogel from corn husk cellulose grafted with acrylamide monomer using a microwave-assisted grafting method. Potassium peroxodisulfate (PPD) was used as an initiator, and the effects of acrylamide and PPD on hydrogel swelling capacity were investigated. The process involved drying and crushing corn husks into powder, then mixing the powder with acrylamide and PPD for microwave grafting to form a polymer, which was then ground into powder. The grafted polymer was combined with carrageenan to create bead gels soaked in distilled water and urea to measure swelling capacity. Results showed that swelling capacity increased with more acrylamide and decreased with more PPD. The highest swelling capacity reached 1016.16% in water and 961.6% in urea. FTIR analysis confirmed the successful grafting of acrylamide onto corn husk cellulose by detecting changes in the infrared spectrum. Based on FTIR and swelling capacity data, it was concluded that the grafting process was completed using the microwave method with PPD as the initiator.

Published: October 2024

MSL1, a scaffold protein of the histone acetyltransferase MSL complex, plays a crucial role in the structural integrity and enzyme activity of the complex. Although it has shown that MSL1 is highly expressed in various primary tumor tissues, its role and molecular mechanism in the occurrence and development of tumors, as well as its impact on the process of tumor cell death, are not yet fully understood. Herein, we presence evidence for the first time from systematic biochemical assays and knockdown/overexpression approaches arguing that a negative regulatory mechanism exists between MSL1 and KCTD12. Interestingly, in HCT116 colon cancer cells, the expression of MSL1 was dramatically inhibited by the ferroptosis inducer Erastin, leading to upregulation of KCTD12 expression. Meanwhile, MSL1 promotes Erastin induced ferroptosis in HCT116 cells by regulating the KCTD12-SLC7A11 axis. In line with this, the ROS, GSH, and MDA levels induced by Erastin were impacted by the MSL1-KCTD12-SLC7A axis, suggesting the involvement of this axis in Erastin induced ferroptosis in colon cancer cells. Our findings will provide new therapeutic targets and theoretical basis for clinical colon cancer.
Impact of copper (I) Nicotinate complex on Notch signaling pathway in autophagy-modulated triple-negative breast cancer cell lines

Published: October 2024

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype and is distinguished by a short overall survival, chemoresistance, recurrence, and a poor prognosis. Despite the increase in the disease's incidence globally, the development of numerous targeted medications and innovative combination therapies has improved the overall prognosis for individuals with breast cancer. However, this generally encouraging image is tarnished by the development of resistance or the reduced effectiveness of pharmaceutical combinations, even if the basic processes are not understood. For instance, autophagy, a catabolic process intended to recycle damaged cellular components and provide energy, is quickly activated by cancer cells to evade most therapies. Consistent with this theory, there is a rising need for metal substances such as copper complex, which may promote cell death and have a less harmful effect on normal cells. On the other hand, deregulated Notch signaling within the breast tumor and its microenvironment is linked to poor clinical outcomes in the treatment of resistant breast cancer.
Objectives: In autophagy-modulated TNBC cell lines, the current study aimed to clarify the possible significance of copper (I) nicotinate complex (CNC) as a targeted therapy for the Notch signaling pathway and evaluated any potential communication between the autophagic process and the Notch signaling pathway.
Method: Two distinct TNBC cell lines, HCC1806 and MDA-MB231 cells, were used. To assess the autophagy process, Torin1 was used to stimulate autophagy, while chloroquine was used to inhibit it. The MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of CNC and the reference treatment, doxorubicin. The indirect antibody labeling of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) was measured using flow cytometry. The Notch signaling pathway-related gene expressions were determined using real-time PCR technique.
Results and conclusion: Treatment of TNBC cells with the CNC-modulated Notch signaling pathway significantly differed depending on the type of cell line and CNC concentration used. In conclusion, given CNCs’ concentration and use with Doxo, it may be a viable targeted anticancer treatment for TNBC due to its ability to inhibit Notch signaling in autophagy-modulated TNBC.

Background
Barefoot social workers play an essential role in providing child welfare services, and their life satisfaction is critical but often ignored. Mental health literacy has been shown to be associated with life satisfaction, yet the mechanisms underlying such an association remain understudied. Guided by the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, this study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of job burnout and work engagement in the relationship between Chinese barefoot social workers' mental health literacy and life satisfaction for the first time.
Methods
A retrospective cross-sectional study involving 1252 Chinese barefoot social workers was conducted from April to June 2023. Pearson's bivariate correlation analysis was conducted to identify correlations. The mediating effect was analyzed using SPSS PROCESS v.4.3.
Results
The correlation analysis results showed that mental health literacy (r = 0.12, p < 0.01), job burnout (r=-0.14, p < 0.01), and work engagement (r = 0.46, p < 0.01) were significantly associated with life satisfaction. Job burnout and work engagement serially and partially mediated the association between mental health literacy and life satisfaction, with a total indirect effect of 0.071 (95%CI:0.056 ~ 0.087).
Conclusion
Our findings support the potential mediating roles of job burnout and work engagement in the relationship between mental health literacy and life satisfaction. These findings hold significant implications for devising effective and targeted psychological intervention programs to improve life satisfaction among Barefoot social workers.

Objective
Orthokeratology (OK) lenses are one of the most effective optical treatments for myopia control. Herein, this study investigated the effect of the defocus ring area after OK lens wear on the progression of myopia in adolescents.
Methods
A total of 180 myopic adolescents were randomized into control (wearing frame glasses) and OK lens groups (90 cases per group). The diopter, ocular axial length, and visual quality of participants were recorded. The Spearman's correlation, multivariate logistic regression, and ROC analyses were performed to assess effect of the defocus ring area on the progression of myopia (growth of the ocular axis and diopter) and its predictive value for the progression of myopia.
Results
The increase in the growth of ocular axial length and diopter was significantly slowed after 1 year of lens wear. Additionally, the visual quality was not affected after 1 year of OK lens wear. The defocus ring area was positively correlated with the growth of the ocular axis and the diopter after 1 year of OK lens wear. The increased defocus ring area after OK lens wear was an independent risk factor for poor myopia control. The defocus ring area could aid in predicting myopia progression in adolescents (cutoff value, 22.05) with high AUC, sensitivity, and specificity.
Conclusion
The defocus ring area after OK lens wear is an independent risk factor for myopia progression in adolescents and can assist in predicting myopia progression after 1 year of lens wear.

In the Hall-Héroult process for extracting aluminum, the generation of anodic bubbles is an inherent phenomenon in the electrolysis process. In this study, the bubble dynamics beneath the anode during aluminum electrolysis were studied using the bottom-observation transparent electrolysis cell. The bubble formation, growth and release processes underneath the anode were recorded by video cameras, and the relevant characteristic parameters of bubbleswere obtained using image processing. It was found that bubble evolution occurs preferentially at specific locations on the anode's underside, suggesting that bubble nucleation is not a random process. Additionally, coalescence was observed during bubble growth when two bubbles collided, and this phenomenon confirms that bubble coalescence is a significant pathway for bubble growth. The bubble coverage decreased first and remain unchanged later with increasing current density. At current densities exceeding 0.9 A/cm², the gas coverage is approximately 50%. Furthermore, a correlation was established between voltage fluctuations and the escape of gas bubbles, indicating that bubbles are a key factor contributing to voltage fluctuations during the electrolysis process. The additional resistance introduced by the bubbles was found to be closely associated with both bubble coverage and size. This study enhances our understanding of anodic bubble behavior in aluminum electrolysis and lays a theoretical groundwork for optimizing the electrolysis process.
Characterization of the multiplicity of solutions for camera pose given two vertically-aligned landmarks and accelerometer
Authors: Pruss Alexander Robert
Published: October 2024

We consider the problem of recovering the position and orientation of a camera equipped with an accelerometer from sensor images of two labeled landmarks whose positions in a coordinate system aligned in a known way with gravity are known. This a variant on the much studied PnP problem of recovering camera position and orientation from n points without any gravitational data. It is proved that in three types of singular cases there are infinitely many solutions, in another type of case there is one, and in a final type of case there are two. A precise characterization of each type of case. In particular, there is always a unique solution in the practically interesting case where the two landmarks are at the same altitude and the camera is at a different altitude. This case is studied by numerical simulation and an implementation on a consumer cellphone. It is also proved that if the two landmarks are unlabeled, then apart from the same singular cases, there are still always one or two solutions.
UBE2E2 targets HMGB1 to regulate cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in experimental autoimmune myocarditis mice to exert a protective effect

Published: October 2024

Autoimmune myocarditis is a potentially life-threatening disease mediated by myocardial immune injury that can evolve into dilated cardiomyopathy and end-stage heart failure. Numerous studies have shown that ferroptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, and myocardial fibrosis. However, the involvement of ferroptosis in experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) has a mechanism that is still unclear. In this study, we successfully constructed animal and cellular models of EAM and found that ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2E2 (UBE2E2) was lowly expressed in EAM, and that cardiomyocyte ferroptosis was involved in the pathological development of EAM; overexpression of UBE2E2 inhibited inflammatory infiltration and ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes in EAM mice, and significantly improved cardiac remodeling and function. In in vitro experiments, UBE2E2 overexpression increased considerably cell proliferation viability, effectively reduced ROS levels in cardiomyocytes, and enhanced mitochondrial number, morphology, and membrane potential changes. Mass spectrometry screened the UBE2E2 ferroptosis-related interacting protein as HMGB1, and UBE2E2 could inhibit the progression of EAM by ubiquitination degradation of HMGB1. In conclusion, our results suggest that UBE2E2 may inhibit ferroptosis in EAM cardiomyocytes by targeting HMGB1, thereby exerting a protective effect on EAM and providing a new potential target for EAM therapy.

Introduction:
Dengue, an emerging infectious disease spread by mosquitoes, poses a significant public health challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical areas like Bangladesh.
Methods
We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study to assess the levels of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards dengue infection among 484 adult rural people in the purposively selected Shikderpara and Muhuripara villages, Cox's Bazar. Face-to-face interviews were performed at the convenience of study participants using a pretested, semi-structured questionnaire.
Results
The mean age of participants were 33.3 ± 13.5 years, with the majority (53.9%) extending between 18 and 34 years. About two-thirds (72.9%) of the residents were literate. Most participants demonstrated average knowledge (84.3%), a positive attitude towards dengue infection (63.0%), and average prevention practices (57.2%). There was a significant association between participants' practice levels and their knowledge and attitude (p < 0.05), along with a statistically significant correlation between their knowledge and dengue prevention practices (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
Although the attitude toward dengue infection was positive, knowledge and practices were average. This can be improved by promoting community participation and implementing comprehensive public health measures at all levels.
