Infrastructure Development in the UK: Key Drivers and Implementation Challenges.
Authors: Seidu Rafiu  Dimeji , Robinson Herbert , Young Bert Ediale , Ryan Michael , Fong Daniel
Published: October 2023

Infrastructure is a critical factor in fostering strong and sustained economic growth, hence, sufficient attention should be given to the allocation of investment. Although UK infrastructure investment have risen in line with the global trend, the level of investment remains in the lower percentile when compared to other leading countries such as Singapore and China.
The study examines the challenges of infrastructure development in the UK and explored the policies required to stimulate investment.  Using semi-structured interviews, the views of key stakeholders involved in infrastructure operating across key sectors of transport and energy were captured to gain an insight into the key policy drivers of infrastructure investment.
 
Findings from the research suggests that policy changes are required to stimulate significant investment if the UK is to become a world leader in infrastructure. Key criticisms of UK infrastructure policy focussed on comparatively low level of investment, inadequate collaboration between key stakeholders, and the regional bias of investment in favour of London which disproportionately affects the Northern regions.
To facilitate economic growth, the identification of future investible pipeline of infrastructure projects, increasing collaboration with local stakeholders and addressing the regional biases will be critical to ensure synergy and ownership and to scale up the implementation of UK future infrastructure development plans.  Considerations should also be given to the need to set up infrastructure banks similar to what is in operation in other countries such as China and Singapore to stimulate private investment and to complement public sector budget allocations. Improving infrastructure project implementation through institutional coordination will boost economic growth post Brexit, support the development of new trading agreements and enhance the country’s economic performance after the pandemic.
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Dışişleri Bakanlığı Arşivcilik Çalışmaları (1920-1960)
Authors: ERDOĞAN Mehmet
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmada, Dışişleri Bakanlığı Türk Diplomatik Arşivindeki (TDA) konuyla ilgili tespit edilebilen belgelerden yararlanmak suretiyle, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Dışişleri Bakanlığının 1920-1960 tarihleri arası arşivcilik çalışmaları incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Bakanlığa gelen ve Bakanlıktan giden güncel belgelerin akışını sağlayan ‘(Umum) Evrak Müdürlüğü’, Bakanlığın ilk kapsamlı teşkilat kanunu olan 25.06.1927 tarihli ve 1154 sayılı ‘Hariciye Vekaleti Memurin Kanunu’, Türkiye’de ayıklama ve imha işlemlerine yönelik ilk mevzuat olan 04.10.1934 tarihli ‘Resmî Evrak ve Defterlerden Lüzumsuz Olanlarının Yok Edilme Tarzı Hakkında Nizamname’, 4 Nisan 1956 tarihinde 6696 sayısıyla Resmî Gazetede yayımlanan ‘Muhafazasına Lüzum Kalmayan Evrak ve Vesaikin İmha Edilmesi Hakkında Kanun’, daha çok gelen-giden güncel evrakın akışı ve dosyalanmasıyla ilgili olup aynı zamanda 100.000’lik desimal sisteme dayalı ilk dosyalama planı olan ve 2 Eylül 1957 tarihinde yalnızca Bakanlık merkez teşkilatında yürürlüğe giren ‘Hariciye Vekaleti Merkez Arşiv Talimatnamesi’ ve Bakanlığın bu dönemdeki diğer arşiv çalışmaları üzerinde durulmuştur. Sonuç olarak, Bakanlığın ilk otuz yılında Bakanlık arşivleriyle ilgili kaydadeğer herhangi bir çalışmanın yapılmadığı, devlet düzeyinde yapılan mevzuat çalışmalarının kalıcı olmaktan uzak olduğu; 1950’li yıllarla birlikte Bakanlık merkezinde hem arşiv belgesinin oluşmaya başlamış olmasının hem belge sayısındaki hacimsel artışın arşiv konusuna eğilimi gerekli kıldığı, bu nedenle bu dönemde devlet düzeyinde ve Bakanlık özelinde arşivler konusunun ele alındığı, ancak bütün çabalara rağmen yapılan çalışmalardan istenen sonucun alınamadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Solution deposition planarization of stainless steel foil for fabricating Al-doped ZnO film
Authors: Hiraoka Keita , Matsumoto Kaname , Horide Tomoya
Published: October 2023

ZnO exhibits various properties, and fabrication of ZnO (including doped ZnO) films are required for device and energy applications. Metals such as stainless steel (SUS) are promising substrates, but deposition of flat films is difficult on as-received metals because of surface roughness. In addition, when films are deposited directly on metals, the electrical resistance is dominated by the substrate. To overcome these problems, solution deposition planarization (SDP) was investigated for SUS. SiO2 solution was spin-coated and heat-treated in air to prepare a flat SDP layer. Flat polycrystalline films of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) were fabricated on the SDP layer. The electrical resistance of AZO/SDP/SUS was determined by AZO, the influence of the SUS is not observed. Thus, the insulation and planarization were simultaneously achieved by the SDP layer. This study shows that polycrystalline AZO films can be deposited on metals with the SDP without a complicated intermediate multilayer structure.

Kosovo represents a region with relatively high seismic activity, it has been hit in the past and may be hit in the future by very strong indigenous earthquakes. Geographically, Kosovo is in the contact zone of two large tectonic plates, on one side of Africa that pushes the Euro-Asian and lies at its foundation. For these reasons, the countries in theMediterranean area belong to countries with high seismic risk, including the surrounding areas. The strongest earthquake recorded and documented in Kosovo is the earthquake of 1921, in the Viti-Ferizaj-Gjilan area with a magnitude of 6.1 on the Richter scale and an intensity of 8.5 on the Mercalli scale. During the recent geological period the region has been embraced from the neotectonic processes which have conditioned the formation of many structural units that are expressed by intensive uplifting and sinking movements. Are used macroseismic data to investigate the influence of local geological structure on earthquake intensities in Dukagjin area of Kosovo. The occurrence of earthquakes is connected with the geological and neotectonics characteristics of the individual regions. The territory of Kosovo is composed of rocks of Precambrian to Quaternary age. In addition soft sediments in the Kosovo basins have a strong influence on seismic ground motion. Macroseismic data are used to investigate Response of Soil class of Dukagjini basin with deposits of Oligocene, Pliocene and Quaternary, where the lake sediments continue during its Pleistocene, (epicenter distance 140 km, Durrës Earthquake 26/11/2019), which had shown, systematic Intensity increase.

Published: October 2023

Objective: The objective of this work is to investigate the histological and biochemical consequences of administering Dexmedetomidine (DEX), an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist with notable sedative qualities as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics, in the context of Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced kidney injury.
Materials and Methods: The experimental design involved the random allocation of 30 Sprague-Dawley rats into three distinct groups. The experimental group designated as Group 1 received a single intraperitoneal administration of 1ml of saline solution containing 0.09% NaCl. Group 2 received an intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) at a dosage of 2 milliliters per kilogram. Group 3, referred to as the CCl4+Dexmedetomidine group, received a solitary intraperitoneal (i.p.) dosage of 100 µg/kg dexmedetomidine one hour before the intraperitoneal administration of 2mL/kg CCl4.
Results: Extensive necrosis and debris accumulation were observed in the tubules, particularly in the proximal tubules, within the CCl4-applied group. An elevation in malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) positivity, along with a reduction in glutathione (GSH) levels, was found in the renal tissues of the CCl4 experimental group as compared to the control group. In contrast, the CCl4+DEX group exhibited a reduction in the quantity of necrotic tubular cells, levels of MDA, and TUNEL positive. Additionally, there was an elevation in GSH levels compared to the group treated with CCl4 alone.
Conclusions: The administration of dexmedetomidine has been observed to potentially provide a protective effect against renal damage induced by CCl4. This phenomenon could potentially be linked to the modulation of tissue oxidative stress markers and the attenuation of apoptotic rate. The findings of our investigation provide evidence in favour of the utilization of dexmedetomidine as a promising therapeutic drug for mitigating renal injury.

The relevance of the topic is of high interest regarding the geopolitical conditions in the countries of the Greater and Northern Black Sea region. Topics of economic analysis and research related to Romania are absent in the Russian scientific field. This fact is a scientific gap that we would like to fill. The purpose of the study is to present a new logical architecture for the transshipment of agricultural commodity groups in Romania. The author of the article presents a system of transport and logistics agricultural corridors and multimodal agro-hubs in Romania, which should contribute to increasing the export potential of the industry and the international competitiveness of the country as a whole. The author’s hypothesis (after analyzing the volumes of 24 items of agricultural transit and international food flows based on Customs Service data from 2016 to 2021, passing through and generated by Romania) consist on new algorithms, potential nodes and multimodal hubs of agro-terminals, located along the presented in the article transport corridors.
TOPICAL ISSUES AND MODERN VISION OF THEORETICAL APPROACHES OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY
Authors:   Belgorod State National Research University, Belgorod, Russia, Skrebova Alesya V.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the approaches of regional economic policy, analyzes theoretical views, as a result of which three stages of the evolution of the term are identified, which showed that regional economic policy should be considered in the logic of the periodization of generations and waves of development of economic spaces. It is noted that the term “regional economic policy” does not exist in the conceptual legislative system today. Scientists, in turn, have developed many definitions, but a generally accepted definition of this concept has not yet been developed. Regional economic policy is an integral part of national economic policy. As a rule, it is directed to any territory of the state, and this territory may not coincide with the territory of an administrative-territorial entity. A comparative assessment of theoretical approaches is given, as a result of which the dominant imperatives of the concept of “regional economic policy” are revealed. It is emphasized that regional economic policy is often mixed together with the policy of specific regions. The substitution of regional economic policy by the policy of the regions leads to the fact that the interests of the administrative- territorial subjects of the state become equivalent to the national economic interests of a particular region.

Authors: SURAL Volkan
Published: October 2023

Bu araştırma, bedensel engelli üniversite öğrencilerinde spora katılımın önündeki zorlanmaları cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi, gelir düzeyi, spor deneyimi ve öğrenim görülen fakülte değişkenlikleri açısından incelenmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma nicel yaklaşımlardan tarama modeline göre gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya Ankara ilindeki üniversitelerde öğrenim görmekte olan ve bedensel engeli bulunan 131 üniversite öğrencisi gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve ‘Engelli Bireylerde Spora Katılımın Önündeki Zorlanmalar Ölçeği’ kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde normallik varsayımları sağlanmadığından ikili karşılaştırmalarda Mann Whitney-U, çoklu karşılaştırmalarda ise Kruskal Wallis-H testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre bedensel engelli öğrencilerde spora katılımın önündeki zorlanmalar öğrenim görülen fakülte ve gelir düzeyine göre farklılaşmazken spor deneyimi ve sınıf düzeyine göre anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Spor deneyimi olan ve üniversite birinci sınıfta öğrenim gören öğrenciler spora katılımda daha az zorlandığı istatistiksel verilere bakılarak söylenebilir. Ayrıca cinsiyet değişkeninde duyuşsal kaçınma boyutu açısından kadın öğrencilerde anlamlı farklılık ortaya çıkmıştır. Sonuç olarak bedensel engelli öğrencilerde spora katılımın önündeki zorlanmalar incelendiğinde elde edilen değerler çevresel zorlanma boyutunda farklılaşmazken farkındalık ve duyuşsal kaçınma alt boyutları ile ölçek toplamında farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
SIMULATION OF METALLIC WIRE-ARC ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING (WAAM) PROCESS USING SIMUFACT WELDING SOFTWARE
Authors: Kumar Vishal , Singh Ankit , Bishwakarma Harish , Mandal Amitava
Published: October 2023

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is one of the emerging low-cost metal additive manufacturing techniques used to fabricate medium-large complex structures. The process provides design flexibility, supports green manufacturing, power efficiency, good structural integrity, high performance, and cost benefits, particularly for large-scale components. However, the heating and cooling cycle prevails during the deposition of material layer upon layer resulting in heat accumulation within the deposited layers. It causes geometric inaccuracy, surface roughness, high residual stresses, and mechanical anisotropy in the built structures. Therefore, SIMUFACT-Welding software has been used to model and simulate the WAAM process to fabricate a straight steel wall structure. The simulated results were able to visualize the existing thermal cycle during layer deposition and the effect of heat input on the fabricated wall structure and the substrate.

Aim: The present study aims to analyze the impact on cognitive recovery of an interdisciplinary treatment for acute and severe psychiatric patients.
Methods: The present research is a naturalistic observational study of 130 adults (mean age of 47.68 years, 68% women). Clinical severity was assessed using Brief Psychiatry Rating Scale (BPRS), Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Functional performance was evaluated using the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST), and cognitive impairment by applying the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Patients were clustered into four diagnostic groups (non-affective psychosis, bipolar, depressive, and personality disorders) and had individualized psychopharmacological treatment. They receive a transdiagnostic group program including several interventions that have shown evidence of beneficial effects over the different cognitive domains impaired in mental illness (attention, speed of processing, memory, working memory, reasoning, and problem-solving), as well as social cognition domains (emotion processing and social skills), in combination with psychoeducation and some strategies oriented to achieve healthy lifestyle routines (balanced diet, physical exercise, sleep hygiene, and smoking and alcohol cessation).
Results: All clinical scales scores were improved after the end of treatment compared with those achieved at admission (BPRS, MADRS, and HARS scores below the cut-off point for establishing a case diagnosis). MoCA scores improved after the end of treatment concerning admission, both in the total score and in the differentiated cognitive domains, excluding orientation, which remained unchanged in the whole of the sample studied. No statistical significance was found in any comparisons between different diagnostic groups. No correlation between MoCA scores and BPRS, MADRS, or HARS scores at admission or discharge was found.
Conclusions: These results show that the interdisciplinary therapeutic intervention can be effective for recovering cognitive impairment associated with mental disorders, irrespective of the diagnosis.
Cross-language morphological transfer in similar-script bilinguals

The current study explored cross-language morphological transfer mechanisms using a similar-script morphological translation priming paradigm in highly proficient unbalanced Turkish (first language; L1)–English (second language; L2) bilinguals. Using noncognate English and Turkish stimuli that shared a similar meaning with no form overlap (e.g., ice [Eng.] – buz [Tur.]), in Experiment 1, L2 English stem targets (e.g., ICE) were primed by affixed L1 nonwords (e.g., buzca [iceish]), nonaffixed L1 nonwords (e.g., buznak [iceald]), and unrelated L1 nonwords (e.g., tuşku [keyment]). The results revealed priming effects in both the affixed and nonaffixed nonword conditions relative to the unrelated control, and significantly larger priming in the affixed than the nonaffixed condition. In addition, enhanced cross-language morphological transfer effects were evidenced in bilinguals with an earlier age of L2 acquisition. In Experiment 2, English stem targets (e.g., ICE) were primed by nonaffixed L1 nonwords including translated stems (e.g., buznak [iceald]), semantically related stems (e.g., suzur [waterew]), and unrelated L1 nonwords (e.g., tuşzur [keyew]). The results showed significantly larger priming effects in the translated condition compared with the semantic and unrelated control conditions, with no priming in the semantic condition relative to the unrelated condition, suggesting that cross-language morphological priming effects were specifically due to the lexico-semantic relationship between the embedded word and its translation equivalent.
Transfer of statistical learning from passive speech perception to speech production
Authors: Murphy Timothy K. , Nozari Nazbanou , Holt Lori L.
Published: October 2023

Communicating with a speaker with a different accent can affect one’s own speech. Despite the strength of evidence for perception-production transfer in speech, the nature of transfer has remained elusive, with variable results regarding the acoustic properties that transfer between speakers and the characteristics of the speakers who exhibit transfer. The current study investigates perception-production transfer through the lens of statistical learning across passive exposure to speech. Participants experienced a short sequence of acoustically variable minimal pair (beer/pier) utterances conveying either an accent or typical American English acoustics, categorized a perceptually ambiguous test stimulus, and then repeated the test stimulus aloud. In the canonical condition, /b/–/p/ fundamental frequency (F0) and voice onset time (VOT) covaried according to typical English patterns. In the reverse condition, the F0xVOT relationship reversed to create an “accent” with speech input regularities atypical of American English. Replicating prior studies, F0 played less of a role in perceptual speech categorization in reverse compared with canonical statistical contexts. Critically, this down-weighting transferred to production, with systematic down-weighting of F0 in listeners’ own speech productions in reverse compared with canonical contexts that was robust across male and female participants. Thus, the mapping of acoustics to speech categories is rapidly adjusted by short-term statistical learning across passive listening and these adjustments transfer to influence listeners’ own speech productions.
