Published: September 2023

Over time, roads undergo deterioration caused by various factors such as traffic loads, climate conditions, and material properties. Considering the substantial global investments in road construction, it is crucial to periodically assess and implement maintenance and rehabilitation (M and R) plans to ensure the network’s acceptable level of service. An integral component of the M and R plan involves utilizing performance prediction models, especially for rutting distress, a significant issue in asphalt pavement. This study aimed to develop rutting prediction models using data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database, employing several machine learning techniques such as regression tree (RT), support vector machine (SVM), ensembles, Gaussian process regression (GPR), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). These techniques are well-known for effectively handling extensive and complex datasets. To achieve the highest modeling accuracy, the parameters of each model were meticulously fine-tuned. Upon evaluation, the results revealed that the GPR models outperformed other techniques in various metrics, including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), R-squared, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Square Error (MSE). The best GPR model achieved an RMSE of 1.96, R-squared of 0.70, MAE of 1.32, and MSE of 109.33, indicating its superior predictive capabilities compared with the other machine learning methods tested in this study. Comparison Analysis was made for 10 randomly selected sections on our novel machine learning model that outperforms existing models, with an R2 of 0.989 compared with 0.303 and 0.3095 for other models. This demonstrates the potential of advanced machine learning in accurate rut depth prediction across diverse climates, aiding pavement management decisions.

Published: September 2023

The fruit agro-industry is one of the sectors that stand out both in production and in the volume of losses along the supply chains, which has generated a strong concern from the nutritional, economic, social, and environmental points of view. This study is aimed at understanding the updated scenario of the conversion of fruit residues into value-added co-products, its main challenges, applications, and perspectives. For this, a literature review was conducted through Scielo, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases. The advanced search covered the period from 2018 to 2022. The evaluation of the articles showed that the drying process is an important step to obtain flours from fruit co-products with characteristics that can provide longer shelf life, practicality, and versatility of use, demonstrating great potential for inclusion in various food preparations; although difficulties persist around the technological characteristics of this raw material, they can confer a nutritional increase, in addition to the possibility of additional health benefits due to the presence of bioactive compounds and fibers inherent in these products. Indeed, although there is a long way to go in studies with co-products derived from residual fractions of fruits, strategies such as these contribute to the better management of losses along the agri-food chains while providing greater food and nutrition security for the global population on the path to sustainability.

Published: September 2023

The parameters that affect bicyclists’ satisfaction are of vital importance when it comes to determining the reasons that endure bicycle usage in an urban environment. This research refers to the factors that affect bicycle users’ satisfaction with the existing infrastructure in the Municipality of Thessaloniki, Greece. Bicycle dependence in Thessaloniki is relatively limited when it is compared to other European cities with similar topological and demographic characteristics. This article aims to determine the most suitable measures that policymakers should implement to enhance bicycle infrastructure. The data collection process was realized through an online questionnaire survey addressed to the bicycle organizations and groups that are situated in Thessaloniki. Inferential statistical analysis investigated the dependency between the perceived satisfaction and the perceived level of safety of cyclists. Ordinal and multinomial logistic regressions were applied to identify the significant problems that influenced cyclists’ satisfaction, as well as the most important improvement measures suggested by the survey participants. The findings revealed that the lack of safety and urban integration of bicycle infrastructures were the statistically significant issues affecting users’ satisfaction. The development of a safe, integrated, and interconnected bicycle network area emerges as a priority to increase cyclists’ satisfaction and daily bicycle trips in cities with low bicycle culture.

Published: September 2023

In this study, carbon-based solid acids were used to catalyze the esterification of soybean saponin-acidified oil (SSAO) with methanol vapor for the synthesis of biodiesel. The esterification conversion under different conditions was determined, and the catalyst components were determined using acid-base titration, elemental analysis, and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. The results showed that the conversion of SSAO under the optimal esterification conditions (i.e., catalyst loading of 6 wt%, methanol/oil molar ratio of 50:1, reaction temperature of 76 °C, and reaction time of 4 h) was 98.9%. The conversion was still higher than 80% after the catalyst was reused for four batches. The methanol vapor esterification (MVE) effectively mitigated the leaching of sulfonic acid groups and the production of sulfonate esters, while the activated white clay adsorption can significantly reduce the metal ion content in SSAO, which weakens its ion exchange with sulfonic acid groups. MVE for biodiesel synthesis is less costly compared to liquid methanol esterification because of the high recovery of methanol and the improved catalyst stability. Therefore, the addition of methanol in the form of vapor in the carbon-based solid acid-catalyzed esterification system is an effective way to maintain the catalyst activity and reduce the production cost of biodiesel.
Chladni Plate in Anechoic Chamber: Symmetry in Vibrational and Acoustic Response
Authors: Kovacic Ivana , Kanovic Zeljko
Published: September 2023

A square metal plate (Chladni plate) is excited harmonically by a vibration shaker, while the whole system is set in an anechoic chamber to stop reflections, isolate the system from sound entering from the surroundings, and deal with direct sounds only. As far as the authors are aware, such an arrangement has not been achieved so far. Vibration modes are visualized by using poppy grains scattered over the upper surface of the plate and are also recorded by a camera located above it, inserted among the acoustic wedges on the roof of the chamber, which made it possible to record the patterns and avoid unpleasant sounds associated with some of them. Four distinctive vibration modes of the plate are then originally identified using vibrational and acoustic mode identification. These responses from the plate are measured both by an accelerometer attached to the central point of the plate and by a microphone set on the same vertical line as the accelerometer but above it, measuring the direct sound. The signals from the accelerometer and the microphone are then compared in two experimental arrangements, and their forms and the frequency contents are found to be equivalent. It is shown that the existing symmetry, i.e., the exact correspondence between vibrational and acoustic responses, can be used as the identifier of the patterns formed on the plate and the associated modal frequency.

Authors: Aggestam Lena , van Laere Joeri , Svensson Ann
Published: September 2023

Studies on Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) development projects have traditionally often been limited to retrospectively identifying CSFs in a finished project. In this paper, we focus on how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS projects. Based on a holistic perspective and systems thinking, an inductive research strategy was applied and a single in-depth case study was conducted. The findings include detailed descriptions that contribute to further understanding of how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS projects. The analysis reveals that CSFs must be applied differently and managed on various system levels. Furthermore, it shows how interactions exist between different system levels, both in the case of a specific CSF and between different CSFs on various system levels. Our analysis framework and findings indicate new directions for future research: how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS development projects can now be investigated both in a more holistic way and more in detail. Finally, healthcare practitioners can use the descriptions as practical checklists for guiding them in how to realize situational adaptation of CSFs in HIS projects across different system levels.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are ubiquitous air pollutants, with additional widespread exposure in the diet. PAH exposure has been linked to adverse birth outcomes and long-term neurological consequences. To understand genetic differences that could affect susceptibility following developmental exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, we exposed mice with variations in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and the three CYP1 enzymes from gestational day 10 (G10) to weaning at postnatal day 25 (P25). We found unexpectedly high neonatal lethality in high-affinity AhrbCyp1b1(-/-) knockout mice compared with all other genotypes. Over 60% of BaP-exposed pups died within their first 5 days of life. There was a significant effect of BaP on growth rates in surviving pups, with lower weights observed from P7 to P21. Again, AhrbCyp1b1(-/-) knockout mice were the most susceptible to growth retardation. Independent of treatment, this line of mice also had impaired development of the surface righting reflex. We used high-resolution mass spectrometry to measure BaP and metabolites in tissues from both dams and pups. We found the highest BaP levels in adipose from poor-affinity AhrdCyp1a2(-/-) dams and identified three major BaP metabolites (BaP-7-OH, BaP-9-OH, and BaP-4,5-diol), but our measurements were limited to a single time point. Future work is needed to understand BaP pharmacokinetics in the contexts of gestation and lactation and how differential metabolism leads to adverse developmental outcomes.

Published: September 2023

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) chronically infects millions of people worldwide, which underscores the importance of discovering and designing novel anti-HBV therapeutics to complement current treatment strategies. An underexploited but attractive therapeutic target is ε, a cis-acting regulatory stem-loop RNA situated within the HBV pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). The binding of ε to the viral polymerase protein (P) is pivotal, as it triggers the packaging of pgRNA and P, as well as the reverse transcription of the viral genome. Consequently, small molecules capable of disrupting this interaction hold the potential to inhibit the early stages of HBV replication. The rational design of such ligands necessitates high-resolution structural information for the ε–P complex or its individual components. While these data are currently unavailable for P, our recent structural elucidation of ε through solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy marks a significant advancement in this area. In this review, we provide a brief overview of HBV replication and some of the therapeutic strategies to combat chronic HBV infection. These descriptions are intended to contextualize our recent experimental efforts to characterize ε and identify ε-targeting ligands, with the ultimate goal of developing novel anti-HBV therapeutics.

Authors: Wagatsuma Keita , Koolhof Iain S. , Saito Reiko
Published: September 2023

In this study, we aimed to characterize the nonlinear and multidelayed effects of multiple meteorological drivers on human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) infection epidemics in Japan. The prefecture-specific weekly time-series of the number of newly confirmed HRSV infection cases and multiple meteorological variables were collected for 47 Japanese prefectures from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2019. We combined standard time-series generalized linear models with distributed lag nonlinear models to determine the exposure–lag–response association between the incidence relative risks (IRRs) of HRSV infection and its meteorological drivers. Pooling the 2-week cumulative estimates showed that overall high ambient temperatures (22.7 °C at the 75th percentile compared to 16.3 °C) and high relative humidity (76.4% at the 75th percentile compared to 70.4%) were associated with higher HRSV infection incidence (IRR for ambient temperature 1.068, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.056–1.079; IRR for relative humidity 1.045, 95% CI, 1.032–1.059). Precipitation revealed a positive association trend, and for wind speed, clear evidence of a negative association was found. Our findings provide a basic picture of the seasonality of HRSV transmission and its nonlinear association with multiple meteorological drivers in the pre-HRSV-vaccination and pre-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era in Japan.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to develop a model using Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-associated hub genes in order to predict the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Differential expression analysis, univariate regression analysis, and machine learning were performed in three microarray datasets (GSE2371, GSE12452, and GSE102349) collected from the GEO database. Three hundred and sixty-six EBV-DEGs were identified, 25 of which were found to be significantly associated with NPC prognosis. These 25 genes were used to classify NPC into two subtypes, and six genes (C16orf54, CD27, CD53, CRIP1, RARRES3, and TBC1D10C) were found to be hub genes in NPC related to immune infiltration and cell cycle regulation. It was shown that these genes could be used to predict the prognosis of NPC, with functions related to tumor proliferation and immune infiltration, making them potential therapeutic targets. The findings of this study could aid in the development of screening and prognostic methods for NPC based on EBV-related features.

Published: September 2023

Singapore experiences endemic dengue. Vector control remains the primary means to reduce transmission due to the lack of available therapeutics. Resource limitations mean that vector-control tools need to be optimized, which can be achieved by studying risk factors related to disease transmission. We developed a statistical modelling framework which can account for a high-resolution and high-dimensional set of covariates to delineate spatio-temporal characteristics that are associated with dengue transmission from 2014 to 2020 in Singapore. We applied the proposed framework to two distinct datasets, stratified based on the primary type of housing within each spatial unit. Generalized additive models reveal non-linear exposure responses between a large range of ecological and anthropogenic factors as well as dengue incidence rates. At values below their mean, lesser mean total daily rainfall (Incidence rate ratio (IRR): 3.75, 95% CI: 1.00–14.05, Mean: 4.40 mm), decreased mean windspeed (IRR: 3.65, 95% CI: 1.87–7.10, Mean: 4.53 km/h), and lower building heights (IRR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.44–4.77, Mean: 6.5 m) displayed positive associations, while higher than average annual NO2 concentrations (IRR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.18–0.66, Mean: 13.8 ppb) were estimated to be negatively associated with dengue incidence rates. Our study provides an understanding of associations between ecological and anthropogenic characteristics with dengue transmission. These findings help us understand high-risk areas of dengue transmission, and allows for land-use planning and formulation of vector control policies.

Published: September 2023

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines belong to a new class of medications, RNA therapeutics, including both coding and non-coding RNAs. The use of mRNA as a therapy is based on the biological role of mRNA itself, namely its translation into a functional protein. The goal of mRNA vaccines is to produce a specific antigen in cells to elicit an immune response that might be prophylactic or therapeutic. The potential of mRNA as vaccine has been envisaged for years but its efficacy has been clearly demonstrated with the approval of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. Since then, mRNA vaccines have been in the pipeline for diseases that are still untreatable. There are many advantages of mRNA vaccines over traditional vaccines, including easy and cost-effective production, high safety, and high-level antigen expression. However, the nature of mRNA itself and some technical issues pose challenges associated with the vaccines’ development and use. Here we review the immunological and pharmacological features of mRNA vaccines by discussing their pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of action, and safety, with a particular attention on the advantages and challenges related to their administration. Furthermore, we present an overview of the areas of application and the clinical trials that utilize a mRNA vaccine as a treatment.

Published: September 2023

Precipitation, as one of the main components of the hydrological cycle, is known to be significantly impacted by global climate change. In recent years, the frequency of extreme precipitation has increased, resulting in greater destructiveness. Atmospheric circulation has a significant impact on extreme precipitation in a region. This study aims to investigate the prospective changes in extreme precipitation and their relationship with large-scale atmospheric circulation in the Haihe River Basin. The Haihe River Basin is located in the North China Plain. Mountains and plains can be found in both the eastern and western parts of the study region. The summer seasons experience the most precipitation. The monthly and extreme precipitation (based on daily precipitation) results from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models were evaluated using observed precipitation data, which was utilized as a reference. The CMIP6 models were used to assess future changes in the characteristics of extreme precipitation in the study region. The relationship between extreme precipitation and large-scale atmospheric circulation was also analyzed using historical observation data. Remote sensing results regarding land cover and soil erosion were used to analyze the risks of extreme precipitation and their influences in the study region. According to the results, their multi-model ensembles (MME) and BCC-CSM2-MR models, respectively, outperformed all other CMIP6 models in simulating monthly and extreme (based on daily precipitation) precipitation over the study region. Extreme precipitation demonstrated a rising degree of contribution and future risk under numerous scenarios. The degrees of contribution of R95p and R99p are anticipated to increase in the future. BCC-CSM2-MR predicted that Rx1day and Rx5day would decline in the future. Generally, extreme precipitation increased to a greater degree under SSP585 than under SSP245. Both the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation displayed substantial resonance with the extreme precipitation from 1962 to 1980 and around 1995, respectively. This study not only improves our understanding of the occurrence of extreme precipitation, but it also serves as a reference for flood control and waterlogging prevention in the Haihe River Basin.
Application of Simple Crested Weirs to Control Outflows from Tiles Drainage
Authors: Napierała Michał
Published: September 2023

Triangular sharp-crested weirs are commonly used to measure low-flow measurements in open channels. The flow over such a V-notch is proportional to the height of water above the weir on the upstream side. Therefore, it is relatively easy to calculate the flow from standard equations by using only recordings of water levels. Thus, these types of weirs can provide inexpensive measurements of flow volumes and resulting nutrient loads from subsurface drainage systems and associated conservation practices. The objective of this study was to develop appropriate weir equations for a 22.5° V-notch weir developed for a new tubular water level control structure in a controlled drainage system (CD). Analyses using this weir, with three typical slope angles of 30°, 45°, and 60°, were also conducted. There were no significant differences in the fitted parameters across the three analyzed slope angles. The coefficient of determination (R2) values were 0.9955, 0.9981, and 0.9980, respectively. However, the best-fitted equation for a 22.5° V-notch weir was for a slope angle of 45°. The flow equation was Q = 0.2235H2.4182, with Q in liters per minute and H in centimeters. This equation can be used for measuring flow through tubular-controlled drainage structures.

Published: September 2023

Nearshore waves and currents induced by breaking of obliquely incident waves are important dynamic factors that significantly affect pollutants movement at offshore zones. A combined numerical model in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates is developed to simulate pollutants movement in surf zones, including a wave transformation model based on the parabolic mild slope equation, a wave-induced current model, and a pollutant transport model driven by waves and currents. This combined model has been applied to pollutants movement laboratory cases, and comparison of the simulations with experimental measurements shows good agreement. The model has also been applied to simulation of the Gourlay experiment and it shows consistent results with the distribution of waves and offshore currents. This coupled numerical model has preliminarily improved the situation of rare numerical research on the nearshore pollutant transport in coastal wave and wave-induced current based on wave radiation stress theory in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates.

Published: September 2023

Introduced species constitute a critical bio-security issue worldwide and the precise monitoring of their spread is crucial for their management. For species forming cryptic complexes this may remain difficult. Using integrative taxonomy, we formally report for the first time, well-established populations of the cosmopolitan introduced bryozoan Watersipora subatra in the French Mediterranean Sea and compile worldwide existing genetic data for Watersipora species alongside newly acquired data to establish the most complete phylogeny of the genus to date. This revealed pervasive erroneous identifications in Genbank, which in turn perpetrate further errors in recent studies, primarily misidentifying W. subatra as W. subtorquata. High abundance and geographic spread of W. subatra in our Mediterranean sampling sites suggest that this species has been present for some time but has been misidentified until now. We provide an updated species identification for all current reference sequences in the Watersipora genus, which may help future monitoring of W. subatra and other Watersipora species.

Published: September 2023

Climate change and species invasions are among the most serious threats to global biodiversity, and climate change will further greatly alter the distribution of invasive species. The red drum Sciaenops ocellatus (Linnaeus, 1766) has established non-native populations in many parts of the world, leading to negative effects on local ecosystems. In this study, based on 455 global occurrence records (38 of which were in Chinese waters) and 5 biologically relevant variables (average ocean bottom temperature, ocean bottom average salinity, ocean bottom average flow rate, depth, and distance from shore), a weighted ensemble model was developed to predict the current potential distribution of red drum in Chinese waters and the future distribution under two climate change scenarios (RCP 26 and RCP 85). Based on the True Skill Statistics (TSS) and the Area Under Curve (AUC), the ensemble model showed more accurate predictive performance than any single model. Among the five environmental variables, the average temperature was the most important environmental variable influencing the distribution of red drum. Ensemble model prediction showed that the current suitable habitat of red drum was mainly concentrated on the coast of Chinese mainland, around Hainan Island, and the western coastal waters of Taiwan Province (17~41°N). Projections in the 2050s and 2100s suggested that red drum would expand northwards under both future climate scenarios (RCP 26 and RCP 85), especially in the western part of the Yellow Sea and along the Bohai Sea coast, which should be involved in the management strategies to maintain ecosystem structure and function.

This study reports the co-existence of two S1 mutants of GI-13 (4/91-like) Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) and Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) in a backyard poultry flock that had non-vaccinated 30 broiler chickens and four turkey pullets. Serum samples and tracheal swabs were taken from the chickens and turkey pullets showing respiratory signs. Serum antibody levels were measured using commercial ELISA kits against IBV, Avian Influenza Virus (AIV), Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), Avian Metapneumovirus (AMPV), MG, Mycoplasma synoviae (MS), and Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT). Additionally, tracheal swabs were tested for AIV serotypes H5, H7, and H9, NDV, IBV, AMPV, MG, MS, Pasteurella multocida, Avibacterium paragallinarum, and Bordetella avium by circular amplification technology (CAT). Anti-MS, -IBV, -MG, -NDV, -AMPV, and -ORT IgG antibodies were detected in some chicken sera, while anti-NDV, -MG, -MS, and -ORT IgG antibodies were detected in turkey sera. All avian tracheal swabs were positive for MG. However, IBV was only detected in chicken tracheal samples tested by CAT. The IBV strains were genotyped by sequencing a part of the S1 glycoprotein gene. The alignment analyses of two isolates showed 99.35% and 98.69% nucleotide similarities and 99.02% amino acid similarities with the 4/91 IBV vaccine and field strains. Two mutants showed 99.35% nucleotide and 100% amino acid sequence identity to each other. The turkeys and chickens in the flock had MG and MG/IBV co-infections, respectively. Consequently, the presence of mutants of 4/91 (GI-13) IBV genotypes and MG found in backyard poultry could be a potential epidemiological source for commercial flocks in poultry integrations.

Formulation of the problem. The study of the national musical tradition in its individual and stylistic manifestations is one of the relevant areas of modern science. To do this, one can apply different coordinate systems, some of which are measured by special phenomena: communicative regularities, emotional and creative energy, synergy, phenomenology of creativity. Among such concepts, a separate place is occupied by poetics, which in the field of musical art has specificity at different levels of creation and existence of a musical composition. From this point of view, it is possible to consider both the newest phenomena of musical art and the familiar ones, such as, for example, the chamber and vocal compositions by Ch. Gounod. The analysis of publications on the chosen topic shows that Ch. Gounod’s chamber and vocal work in musicology has, as a rule, a traditional historical and compositional-stylistic dimension. Its performing profile is not involved, which requires correction of the research situation with the help of the prism of the poetics of creativity – both composing and performing. Moreover, the concept of poetics of musical art is presented by scientists quite powerfully (E. Arefyeva, N. Belichenko, I. Vavshko, E. Nazaykinsky, Yu. Nikolaievska, I. Romanyuk, N. Ryabukha, S. Shchelkanova, J. l. Kreiling, J. Malek, etc.). Therefore, there is a need to update the creative work of composers of the past with the help of characteristics of the poetics of both composing and especially performing creativity. All this determines the scientific novelty of the presented research, which is related to the characteristic of the poetics of the chamber-vocal creative work of Ch. Gounod from the perspective of performing specificity. The purpose of the scientific work is to identify the main parameters of performing specificity related to the poetics of Ch. Gounod’s chamber and vocal creative work. The research methodology is based on a complex combination of several scientific directions: studies devoted to poetics in music in general, as well as in the creative work of individual composers; scientific works related to Ch. Gounod’s creativity. Research results and conclusions. One of the concepts that should be used to understand Ch. Gounod’s vocal style is precisely poetics as a combination of the general parameters of the composer’s style, the figurative and semantic plan of the composition and a complex of specific means of expression, including purely performing ones. The embodiment of the immediate feeling of being in its lyrical perspective of everyday French music in academic genres forms the basis of the poetics of Ch. Gounod’s vocal creative work. The combination of the poetics of academic and everyday vocal art is the core of the poetics of Ch. Gounod’s vocal style, which ensures both simplicity and complexity of its embodiment. Ch. Gounod’s vocal style (both composing and corresponding performing ones) can be defined as a genre style, taking into account the total correspondence to French everyday vocal genres.

Türkiye, 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde 7,8 ve 7,7 büyüklüğündeki Kahramanmaraş merkezli iki depremle sarsılmış, 11 ilin afet bölgesi ilan edilmesine neden olan bu depremlerde 50 binden fazla yurttaşımız hayatını kaybetmiştir. Etkilediği coğrafi alan ve toplam nüfus açısından bakıldığında ülkenin neredeyse 1/7’lik kısmını sarsan bu felaket, ‘Türkiye bir deprem ülkesidir’ ezberimiz olsa da aslında özellikle imar, inşaat, denetim, yasalaşma ve uygulama açılarından ‘deprem gerçeğine’ uygun hareket etmediğimizi ortaya çıkarmıştır. Türkiye’nin hafızasında yer etmiş önemli felaketlerden biri 1999 Marmara Depremi’dir. Bir eşik kabul edilen bu afet sonrası çok farklı alanlarda adımlar atılmıştır. Bu makalede 2023 Kahramanmaraş Depremleri’ne kadar olan süreçte alınan aksiyonların ve yaşanan gelişmelerin bir incelemesi yapılmış; depremlerin olası ekonomik, sosyal, imar ve mevzuat açılarından değerlendirmesi ile ülkemizin gelecek yıllardaki deprem felaketlerine ne kadar hazır olduğunu üzerinde bir çıkarım yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Yürütülen kapsamlı çalışma, mevzuatsal boşluklara işaret etmekle birlikte, neler yapılabileceğine dair öneriler sunmuştur.
