Authors: Ramli Roslim , Chai Ai Bao , Ho Jee Hou , Kamaruddin Shamsul , Rasdi Fatimah Rubaizah Mohd , De Focatiis Davide S. A.
Published: December 2021

Specialty natural rubber (SpNR) latex, namely, deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) latex and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) latex, has been produced to meet specific product's requirements. However, SpNR is normally used in the form of block rubber to manufacture dry rubber products such as tires and automotive parts. The applications of SpNR latex into latex foam products will be diversified. Findings indicate that foamability of SpNR latex is lower compared to normal latex (LATZ) but shows longer stability time after foamed. Findings also indicate that foam collapse and foam coagulate are two main challenges in the fabrication process of SpNR latex foam. Despite these challenges, SpNR latex foam can be fabricated at different density levels. During the foaming process, additional foaming agent is required to fabricate a SpNR latex foam, which is different from fabricating a normal NR latex foam, especially at low latex foam density. Consequently, a higher level of sodium silicofluoride, used as the gelling agent, is required to set the cell structure of the foam. Findings also indicate that foam density influenced the gelling time and volume shrinkage of the SpNR latex foam. An ideal compounding, foaming, and gelling formulation to fabricate SpNR latex foam via Dunlop batch foaming process has been developed. Morphological study showed that all latex foams are open-cell structure, with lower density foam exhibiting higher porosity and mean pore size. Comparison on hysteresis behavior between DPNR and ENR latex foam indicated that ENR latex foam exhibits higher hysteresis loss ratio compared to DPNR latex foam.

Published: December 2021

Vulcanization parameters significantly affect the performance of rubber seals and the energy savings of the manufacturing process, which require a relationship between process parameters and vulcanization characteristics. Based on the vulcanization kinetics of rubber seal materials, a transient thermochemical-coupled finite-element model of the vulcanization process was established and solved. Changes in thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity during vulcanization were considered in detail. The effects of operational and structural parameters, such as mold temperature, heating duration, and rubber seal shape, cross-sectional dimensions on vulcanization characteristics were investigated. Finally, feasible suggestions for the vulcanization production of rubber seals are discussed. The study is expected to design parameters and control the vulcanization process of rubber seals accurately.

Published: December 2021

This study examined the interest rates channel of the monetary policy transmission mechanism and the earnings of commercial banks in Nigeria. The objective was to investigate the extent to which the interest rates channel of the monetary policy transmission mechanism affects the earnings capacity of the quoted commercial banks. Time series data were sourced from annual financial reports of the commercial banks and the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin’s various issues. Earnings measures such as earnings per share and earnings before interest and tax were modeled as the function of Monetary Policy Rate, Prime Lending Rate, Short-term Savings Rate, Long-term Saving Rate and Maximum Lending Rate. The Ordinary Least Square method of Regression Analysis was used to estimate the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables. Augmented Dickey Fuller Test, Johansen Cointegration Test, Granger Causality Test and Vector Error Correction Test were used to determine the dynamic relationship among the variables. Findings showed that short-term and long-term savings rates have negative effects while monetary policy rate, maximum lending rate and prime lending rate have positive effects on the earnings capacity of Nigerian commercial banks. Therefore, we recommend that interest rate policies should be integrated with the earning objectives of the commercial banks.

The paper examines the nexus between China’s coupling and economic relations with Africa under the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA). It also analyses the future of ACFTR especially with the technical support African states will be enjoying through their collaboration with China or in the absence of such support, how Africa may utilize the opportunities available and the likely challenges to encounter in the implementation of ACFTA. Using the secondary source of data, findings show that the implementation of ACFTA can lead to substantial higher bilateral trade between China and Africa. The paper concludes that both in the short and long run, China and African countries stand to benefit immensely in the implementation of ACFTA. The paper recommends that African countries should ratify and domesticate ACFTA and should collaborate with China for the purpose of harnessing the opportunities and surmounting the likely challenges that may emanate from the implementation process.
Visualizations and Compositional Data Analysis for the European Time Use
Authors: İÇÖZ Cenk
Published: December 2021

Time use data is a specific data that is of interest to many researchers such as sociologists, psychologists, statisticians and etc. It is multivariate by nature and can be seen as a subtype of multivariate data called compositional data. Thus, time use data can also be analyzed and visualized by compositional data analysis techniques. This is rarely mentioned in literature; usually analyses and visualizations of time use data is shown in multivariate real space. However, this may lead to false interpretation of the data and even some multivariate statistical analysis cannot be directly applied before a transformation is made. The main contribution of this study is to show how an analysis might be used for time use data and what benefits might be gained from this new setting of the data set as compositional parts. Indeed, the results show that there some are differences between traditional techniques and compositional data analysis.

IS TURING TEST STILL PROFICIENT AND OPERATIVE AT PRESENT STATE OF THE ART?: BEYOND TURING TEST FOR THE NEXT GENERATION AI FRAMEWORKS
Authors: ÇALIK Burhan Yarkın
Published: December 2021

The problem of consciousness in terms of artificial intelligence is a difficult and big problem. With the test he put forward, the efficiency of artificial intelligence was discussed and tested. Some scientists have criticized the inability to distinguish between humans and robots with the Turing Test. Problems such as how sufficient this is and how it is possible to compare the intelligence of a human with the intelligence of a robot have been handled philosophically. The main purpose of this article is to address the adequacy of Turing testing and to question artificial intelligence tests and tools that can shed light on shaping the design of next-generation AI architectures. Searle's Chinese room experiment has been reconsidered by Turing by addressing the subjectivity-objectivity problem of Qualia philosophers and giving place to criticisms that can be directed to this test and countercriticisms that can be made to these criticisms. In addition, the role of the new generation Turing test in modeling concepts such as artificial consciousness and machine self-awareness and evaluating their performance is discussed.

Published: December 2021

El sector forestal a través del bosque nativo, las plantaciones y los productos de madera recolectada juega un rol muy importante en el país, contribuye a la mitigación del cambio climático y es el principal sumidero de carbono. En el año 2018, contribuyó al balance de gases de efecto invernadero disminuyendo en 57% las emisiones del país, con una absorción neta de -68.878,3 kt CO2 eq. Desde 1990 hasta 2018 el sector ha aumentado las absorciones de carbono, en directa relación con el aumento de la superficie de bosques (forestación) y la incorporación de bosque nativo bajo manejo. En el caso del bosque nativo, se observa que la mayor contribución proviene de los bosques de renovales y de las áreas de conservación, mientras que en las plantaciones, la especie Pinus radiata es la que domina con una mayor absorción dada la mayor superficie respecto a otras especies exóticas. Las emisiones de GEI se relacionan directamente con el aumento de las cosechas de trozas y el consumo de leña, mientras que los incendios juegan un rol fundamental en el incremento de emisiones en años puntuales y se observa un aumento de la frecuencia de estos en los últimos años. El sector forestal tiene un potencial para aumentar su capacidad de sumidero de carbono, sin embargo, es necesario considerar todas las variables que afectan las absorciones y las emisiones que afectan al sector.

Sectoral Allocation of Foreign Aids and Poverty Alleviation in Nigeria, 2010-2020
Authors: Obiora Charles Arinze , Nwanolue Bonn Obiekwe Godwin , Okeke Christian Chidi
Published: December 2021

The study was necessitated by the high rate of poverty in Nigeria regardless of the foreign aids inflow into the country from 2010 to 2020. Whereas the country received foreign aids which could have resulted in poverty alleviation within the period of this study, she antithetically witnessed increase in poverty rate to the extent that the World Bank in May 2018 reported that Nigeria had emerged poverty capital of the world. According to the National Bureau of Statistics’ report, over 82.9 million persons, representing about 40.1 percent of the total population, were considered poor by national standards as at 2019. The poverty challenge inspite of the foreign aids inflow into Nigeria therefore necessitated the question on how sectoral allocation of foreign aids contributed to poverty alleviation in Nigeria from 2010 to 2020. Anchored on the Big Push Theory, the study adopted ex-post facto research design and documentary method for data collection. Qualitative descriptive method was used for data analysis. Among other things, the study found out that sectoral allocation of foreign aid resources did not contribute to poverty alleviation in Nigeria from 2010 to 2020 as those sectors critical for poverty alleviation did not receive massive investments. On the contrary, the foreign aids were split among numerous (consumption) sub-heads which rendered the aids incapable of contributing to poverty alleviation in the country. In view of the findings, the study therefore recommended the need to channel future foreign aids inflow into projects with high capital returns or the productive sectors of the economy in order to achieve a positive outcome on poverty alleviation.

Published: December 2021

Games and exercises, which have an important place in the life of the individual in every developmental period of humans as a social being contribute to the communication and interaction of the individual with the environment, to the development of social cognitive skills such as problem-solving, analytical thinking, creative thinking, and reasoning as well as positively affecting the physical and mental development. Individuals, who try to survive in a mentally and physically challenging and demanding work pace or by being inactive for a long time in front of a computer screen, spend their energy through games, exercises, and physical activities, and can be discharged by relaxing. In this respect, it is possible to evaluate the entire games, exercises, and physical activities as a driving force to gather energy again after a tiring work tempo or as a source of motivation to move away from mental and physical fatigue. It is considered that performing activities such as exercises and playing games by individuals, considering them as a way of life and evaluating the factors, which keep individuals away from these activities, can be possible by explaining individual perceptions on these issues. In the light of these data, the meanings and values associated with the concepts of games and exercises by academics and engineers who live in different cultural structures, who cannot allocate adequate time for games and exercises in a compulsory work tempo, or who can acquire internal and external motivation via games and exercises as well as exercise frequency and playing times. The present study was conducted to examine the perceptions of academics and engineers on the concepts of game and exercise via metaphor analysis in June 2019 with the participation of scientists, academicians, and engineers who participated in the 2019 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, MA, USA, which was held with the participation of many scientists, academicians, and engineers from all over the world as a total of 135 participants, 56 women and 79 men, who agreed to participate in the study voluntarily, made up the study group. The metaphor analysis form that was prepared by the researcher was used in obtaining the data to reveal the perceptions of the participants about the concepts of game and exercise. The participants were asked to complete the statements with the statements of “Game is like … because …” and “Exercise is like … because …” in addition to their age, gender, nationality, residence, occupation, perceived income status, and educational status. After the data were analyzed, various metaphors for the concepts of game and exercise were detected. Also, different game playing times and exercise frequencies emerged as a result of the self-evaluation of each participant.

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 epidemic, distance education has become a necessity rather than a choice in order to ensure the continuity of education at all educational levels. This research was carried out to examine the opinions of students on the distance education process applied in universities during the COVID-19 Pandemic period. Sample of study consists of 153 students (73 female, 80 male), who were selected by simple random sampling method, studying at Trabzon University Faculty of Sport Sciences. In the study, Opinions for Distance Education Scale (OFDES) and personal information form were used. The scale was developed by Yıldırım et al. (2014) and consists of 18 items and 4 factors. Data were collected through an online survey. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS program. Descriptive statistics, T-Test and ANOVA analyses were used in the research. It shows that students’ satisfaction with distance education conducted during the COVID-19 epidemic is at a low level (x̄ = 2.03; Sd = .55). In other words, students prefer face-to-face education to distance education. In the gender variable, it was determined that male students (x̄ = 2.75; Sd = .54) had a higher mean score than female students (x̄ = 2.48; Sd = .53). In the study, some suggestions have been developed in order to make the distance education process more efficient from the students’ perspective.

Published: December 2021

Body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behavior in athletes may occur when sports and social pressures require an ideal body standard, if the athlete perceives that his or her body does not conform to this ideal. For this reason, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between artistic gymnasts’ (AG) physical profiles, body appreciation levels and eating attitudes. A total of 32 elite AG (Turkish National Team), 13 women and 19 men, participated in this study. Height and body analyzes of the participants were measured. Body appreciation levels were determined by the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and eating attitudes were determined by the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). With the Training Information Form, information about training frequencies and durations was provided. Comparative analyzes of the BAS and EAT-26 results of elite female and male gymnasts were performed. The physical profiles, eating attitudes and body appreciation levels of female AG were evaluated and the relationship between them was determined. While no significant correlation was found between the BAS, EAT-26 and physical profiles of the elite male AG, a negative significant correlation was found between the BAS and body mass index (BMI) of female elite AG (p < 0.05). It was concluded that while BMI rates of elite female AG increased, their body appreciation levels decreased. The BAS results of elite AG’ were found to be significantly higher than those of elite female AGs (p < 0.05).

Published: December 2021

Educational institutions show their activities in an intense environment and lead the generations that will be the architects of the future. Considering the importance of education, it is important for academics to transfer their knowledge and experience to students by blending them with scientific data in this intense environment. However, in order for educational process to work efficiently, it is thought that the harmony of the person with his job and organization is the main point to be emphasized. In this context, this research aimed to determine the person-organization and Person-Job Fit of academics, to determine the relationship between these two variables, and to determine the predictive role of person-to-job fit on Person-Organization Fit working in the field of education. In this study, which was carried out in the relational screening model, the opinions of 403 academics were taken voluntarily. The “Personal Information Form” created by the researchers as a data collection tool in the research, and the “Person-Organization Fit Scale” developed by Netemeyer et al. (1997) and adapted to Turkish culture by Turunç and Çelik (2012) to measure the Person-Organization Fit and “Perceived Person-Job Fit Scale”, adapted to Turkish culture by Yaşar (2009) by benefiting from the researches of Cable and Judge (1996) and Saks and Ashforth (1997) was used to measure perceived Person-Job Fit. As a result of the analyzes made; It has been seen that there is a positive relationship between Person-Organization Fit and Person-Job Fit, and Person-Job Fit is a predictor of Person-Organization Fit. In addition, it was determined that the person-to-work and Person-Organization Fit of the academics were above the medium level.

Published: December 2021

В статье впервые рассматривается огромный вклад армянской научно-технической мысли в обнаружение и эксплуатацию Каспийских морских нефтегазовых месторождений Азербайджанской ССР, которые по сей день обеспечивают более 90% нефтегазовой прибыли этой республики. Вопреки фальсификациям современных азербайджанских историков, замалчивающих роль армянских специалистов, доказывается, что, благодаря именно армянским геологам и инженерам, выходцам из Арцаха (преимущественно, из Шуши), лауреатам Госпремии и Ленинской премии СССР В.С. Мелик-Пашаеву, Р.А. Ионнесяну, Д.К. Мзреуляну, З.И. Мелик-Тангиеву и др., в 1950-1980 гг. были открыты и до сих пор эксплуатируются месторождения «Нефтяные камни», «Гюргяны-море» и др. Из них только в постсоветский период было добыто более 42 млн т сырой нефти на сумму минимум 20 млрд долларов США по ценам 15.05.2021, что в свою очередь способствовало наращиванию военной мощи этого государства-агрессора.

Agonism and Antagonism of the Muscles of the Elbow Joint: An SEMG Approach
Authors: Sella Gabriel E.
Published: December 2021

The relationship among the muscles of any joint such as the elbow joint reflects the range of motion energy expenditure of these muscles. It can be fairly stated that SEMG (surface electromyography) is a technology that enables the measurements of any muscle range of motion (ROM) and the synergism (agonism) and antagonism relationships among these muscles. The magnitude of the amplitude potentials of any motion of any muscle is relevant in the assessment of the total energy expenditure for any given motion in ergonomic terms and in clinical terms. The joints function best in terms of effectiveness and efficiency when any motion is performed with the least effort at the least fatigue potential. SEMG permits the measurement of the energy expenditure. Aside from the actual energy used, the relationships of any two muscles of the joint during the range of motion can be assessed in terms of correlation coefficients, thus enabling the clinician or ergonomist to evaluate the synergism or antagonism of the muscles in question for the ROM tested. Understanding the magnitude of the agonism and antagonism is highly relevant in ergonomics as well as in the process of rehabilitation of the muscles of any joint.

النصرانية و المسيحية

أجريت هذه الدراسة لإلقاء الضوء على المقارنة بين الرسالة الإلهية الصادقة في عقائدها و تشريعاتها و التي جاء بها عيسى علية السلام و التي تركها علي صدقها و صحتها لم ينلها شيء من التغيير أو التبديل أو التأويل أو التحريف بعد رفعه و انقضاء صلته بالأرض- (نصرانية الأمس)- و مسيحية اليوم تلك الرسالة التي ورثها الحواريون عن عيسى عليه السلام و التزموا بنشرها و تعليمها للناس ثم بولس ثم الكنيسة المسيحية فبدلوا في عقيدتها و غيروا في شريعتها و نسبوا هذا التبديل و التحريف و التغيير إلى عيسى عليه السلام.

كان من أظهر مساوئ هذه المجامع الكنيسة اعتمادها بنوة عيسى لله، ثم ألوهية مع الله، ثم ألوهية الروح القدس ثم تقديس الصليب الذي صلب عليه من اعتقدوا أنه عيسى بن مريم و ليس هو بعيسى.

و قد وصلت في هذه الدراسة إلى بطلان القول ببنوة عيسى علية السلام أو ألوهيته، و بطلان القول بصلب عيسى، ثم بطلان التثليث الذي ينادون به و يرونه حقا و ما هو بحق و لكنه الباطل بعينه.

أحكام الطعن في حكم التحكيم وفقا للقانون السوداني و المقارن

يعتبر إصدار الحكم المرحلة النهائية لإجراءات التحكيم، حيث إن غاية كل خصومة أن يصدر فيها حكم من المحكمة المختصة التي تنظره، و عملا بذلك فإن الوضع العادي لسير إجراءات التحكيم ينتهي بصدور قرار يفصل في موضوع النزاع.

و تعتبر طرق المراجعة و الطعن من المراحل المهمة عقب صدور الحكم القضائي حيث تساهم هذه الإجراءات في استقرار الحكم و تدعيمه و الاطمئنان إليه، و أن الاستئناف و الطعن حق مكفول لأي من أطراف النزاع ؛ فهل يوجد في نظام التحكيم مثل هذه الإجراءات؟ لذلك تبحث هذه الدراسة القواعد المنظمة لإجراءات الطعن في حكم التحكيم سواء كان تحكيما وطنيا أو أجنبيا، و تهدف إلى بحث مسألة فيما إذا كان قانون التحكيم السوداني لسنة 2005 يستوعب كافة التطورات في الإجراءات المتبعة في شان التحكيم التجاري الدولي فيما يتعلق بالطعن في حكم التحكيم، و مقارنة أحكامه بالأحكام الواردة في التشريعات الوطنية الأخرى و قواعد مؤسسات التحكيم للوقوف على حقيقة الوضع في السودان، و للوصول إلى هذه النتيجة اتبعنا المنهج الاستقرائي و قمنا بتقسيم البحث إلى ثلاثة مباحث وفق الموضوعات المطروحة.

Management of Gut Microbiota to Improve Sleep Dysfunction for Children with Autism-Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Senthilraja Vasanth , Yang Ethan , Reddy Akshay Jakkidi , Liu Eric , Wagh Himanshu
Published: December 2021

Many children with Autism-Spectrum Disorders (ASD) struggle with sleep dysfunction. This can be caused by a lack of important gut microbiota (GM) that have the ability to influence functions of the nervous system through the gut-brain axis. The metabolites of GM function are responsible for influencing the production of pertinent sleep hormones, such as melatonin and serotonin. The research has identified lower abundance levels of the gut microbiota species Faecalibacterium and Agathobacter in children with ASD that struggled with sleep disorders. When exploring their impact on sleep hormone production, a positive correlation was identified between these species of GM and melatonin levels, which regulates circadian sleep cycles. In addition, a negative correlation was observed between these species of GM and serotonin levels, which high levels of can lead to wakefulness and sleep dysfunction. To improve GM levels in children with ASD, a Bimuno® galactooligosaccharide (B-GOS®) prebiotic intervention was tested in children with ASD. While this intervention led to improved GM levels and increased levels of Faecalibacterium growth, a significant difference was not noticed between groups. Furthermore, an analysis of probiotic intervention studies in various individuals revealed the ability to improve sleep metric scores through consumption of probiotics. These findings can be further explored in children with ASD for potential treatments for sleep disorders.
