Authors: Zwain Hanadi H. , Abed Basim Sh.
Published: April 2023

In this study; a three-dimensional model was created to simulate groundwater in Al-Haydariyah area of the governorate of Al-Najaf. A solid model was created to utilize the cross sections of 25 boreholes in the research region, and it was made out of two layers: sand and clay. The steady-state calibration was employed in six observation wells to calibrate the model and establish the hydraulic conductivity, which was 17.49 m/d for sand and 1.042 m/d for clay, with a recharge rate of 0.00007 m/day. The wells in the research region were reallocated with a distance of 1500 m between each well, resulting in 140 wells evenly distributed throughout the study area and with a discharge of 5 l/s, and the scenarios were run for 1000 days to explore the impact of over-pumping on groundwater levels. The wells were operated at three different operating hours: 4, 8, and 12 h/d. According to the results, the largest water table decrease for each scenario was 0.35, 8.25, and 8.68 m, respectively. It was discovered that the first scenario, with an operating duration of 4 h/day and a discharge of 72 l/s, was the best scenario in which dry cells did not happen.

Published: April 2023

The presence of construction wastes such as clay bricks, glass, wood, plastic, and others in large quantities causes serious environmental problems in the world. Where these wastes can be used to preserve the natural resources used in construction and reduce the impact of this problem on the environment, it also works to reduce the problem of high loads of concrete blocks. Clay bricks aggregate (AB) can be recycled as coarse aggregate and replaced with volumetric proportions of coarse aggregate by ( 5% and 10%), as well as the use of clay brick powder (PB) by replacing its weight of cement (5% and 10%) and reduced in the manufacture of concrete blocks (blocks). Four mixtures will be prepared and tested to learn how to reuse the brick coarse aggregate ACB and PB powder brick as substitute materials for producing concrete blocks, use the water spray method to treat concrete building blocks (blocks) and check the Dimensions and compressive strength, and absorption.

Published: April 2023

To maintain river flows necessary to meet social and ecological objectives, instream environmental flows are frequently used as a strategy. The capability of three alternative historical flow approaches to protect against low flows is shown in this study using gage stations in the Shatt Al-Hillah River in Iraq. The extension of the Shatt al-Hillah River is the focus of this research discussion on environmental flow assessment. The available data on discharge in this research were adopted for ten years from 2012-2021. Different flow methods were adopted to establish a minimum environmental flow in the Shatt Al-Hillah River. Three hydrological-based approaches: Tennant, modified Tennant, and low-flow metrics like 7Q10, were used to compare the results of the methods with the provision of a minimal environmental flow. The Tennant method relies on 30 % of the annual discharge rate as the minimum environmental instream flow. The modified Tennant method is based on 30% of the monthly average discharge rate as a minimum environmental instream flow. The 7Q10 method is based on the lowest daily discharge rate in 7 consecutive days for ten years. The results showed that the minimum instream environmental flow given by the Tennant method is 42.26 m3/s while the lowest value of the minimum instream environmental flow obtained from modified Tennant was 37.2 m3/s in January, and the largest value was 47.22 m3/s in August. The one obtained by the 7Q10 method was 50 m3/s in this research.

Published: April 2023

One of the most important features of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud is that the program can be run and accessed from any location. You can access and monitor the result of the program from any location, saving many images and allowing for faster computation. This work proposes a face detection classification model based on AWS cloud aiming to classify the faces into two classes: a non-permission class, and a permission class, by training the real data set collected from our cameras. The proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) cloud-based system was used to share computational resources for Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to reduce redundant computation. The test system uses Internet of Things (IoT) services through our cameras system to capture the images and upload them to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (AWS S3) cloud. Then two detectors were running, Haar cascade and multitask cascaded convolutional neural networks (MTCNN), at the Amazon Elastic Compute (AWS EC2) cloud, after that the output results of these two detectors are compared using accuracy and execution time. Then the classified non-permission images are uploaded to the AWS S3 cloud. The validation accuracy of the offline augmentation face detection classification model reached 98.81%, and the loss and mean square error were decreased to 0.0176 and 0.0064, respectively. The execution time of all AWS cloud systems for one image when using Haar cascade and MTCNN detectors reached three and seven seconds, respectively.

Dülger Kızı Masalının Arketipsel Sembolizm Bağlamında Çözümlenmesi
Authors: İÇEL Hatice , ÜÇER Emine
Published: April 2023

Carl Gustav Jung tarafından geliştirilen arketipsel sembolizm halk anlatılarının incelenmesinde kullanılan yöntemlerden birisidir. Jung’un çalışmalarından hareketle Joseph Campbell da kendi yöntemini geliştirmiş ve farklı halkların anlatılarını bu bağlamda incelemiştir. Campbell’ın yönteminin temeli “monomit” kavramına dayanmaktadır. Halk anlatılarının sembolik açıdan ele alındığı çalışmalarda genellikle bu iki adın ön plana çıktığı ve onların düşüncelerinin metne tatbik edildiği bilinmektedir. Kolektif bilinç dışının izlerini farklı bir anlatı türünde sürmek amacıyla bu çalışmada Dülger Kızı adlı masal arketipsel sembolizm bakımından incelenmiştir. Ayrıca masalın kahramanının birbirine zıt özelliklerini uyumlu hâle getirmek ve kendisi ile bütünleşmek için verdiği sınav bağlamında kahramanın yolculuk evreleri ele alınmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında Dülger Kızı masalındaki kahramanın olgunlaşma sürecine tanıklık edilmesinin yanı sıra anima, anne ve yüce birey arketiplerinin olay örgüsünde başat rol aldıkları görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda masalın geneline anima arketipi hâkimdir ve anima, anlatıda aynı zamanda şehzadenin ruhunun derinliklerindeki anne arketipini de temsil etmektedir. Dolayısıyla masal, şehzadenin çocukluktan çıkıp –annesinden ayrılarak- erginleşmesinin sembolik bir dille anlatımıdır.

Numerous studies have explored the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the hippocampus and amygdala, as both regions are implicated in the disorder’s pathogenesis and pathophysiology. Nevertheless, these key limbic regions consist of functionally and cytoarchitecturally distinct substructures that may play a different role in the etiology of PTSD. Spurred by the availability of automatic segmentation software, structural neuroimaging studies of human hippocampal and amygdala subregions have proliferated in recent years. Here, we present a pre-registered scoping review of the existing structural neuroimaging studies of the hippocampus and amygdala subregions in adults diagnosed with PTSD. A total of n=3513 studies assessing subregions volumes were identified, n=1689 of which were screened, and n=21 studies were eligible for this review (total n=2876 individuals). Most studies examined hippocampal subregions and reported decreased volumes of the CA1, CA3, dentate gyrus, and subiculum in PTSD. Fewer studies investigated amygdala subregions and reported altered volumes of the lateral, basal, and central amygdala. This review further highlights the conceptual and methodological limitations of the current literature and points out future research directions that may enhance our understanding of the distinct roles of hippocampal and amygdala subregions in post-traumatic psychopathology.
Bacterial and microalgal communities in carp polyculture systems: Composition, affecting factors and further perspectives.
Authors: Ngan Bui Ngoc Minh , Heyse Jasmine , Delamare-Deboutteville Jérôme , Defoirdt Tom , Props Ruben , Shelley Colin
Published: April 2023

Carp polyculture is the planet's most widely practiced fish production system, using multiple fish species living in diverse trophic and spatial niches of a pond to maximize productivity. Increases in farm productivity can be supported by using healthy stock, more effective use of inputs (e.g., feed, probiotics, fertilizers), and improved disease management. However, there is a lack of understanding on how microbial–host interactions can help avoid or manage dysbiosis in carp aquaculture systems to improve productivity. The availability of literature data derived from both traditional and new molecular techniques enables a comprehensive understanding of the diversity and functionality of the microbiota in carp polyculture systems. To support the development of improved best management practices for carp polyculture, we reviewed the current knowledge of microbiota in carp polyculture systems with a focus on bacteria and microalgae communities. This review highlights the link between the host microbiota and the rearing environment microbiota, thereby emphasizing its importance in steering the rearing water microbiota to reduce microbial dysbiosis in both the water and the gut. Strong evidence implies that factors such as probiotics, prebiotics, feed, fertilizers, and manipulation of environmental parameters have a significant effect on carp microbiota. Development of management strategies towards three key areas (microbiome health assessment, technological improvements, and product management) are essential for the health of carp polyculture and will likely be critical for the industry’s expansion

Authors: Zandroto Wandes Nadi Putra
Published: April 2023

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by impaired thought processes and weak emotional responses. This situation is generally a disorder of thinking accompanied by social dysfunction and slurred speech and hallucinations. The subject used in the case study was Mr. Z as a patient with sensory perception disorders: auditory hallucinations at Prof. RSJ. Dr. Muhammad Ildrem Medan. The results of the nursing diagnosis on Mr. Z found that Mr. Z experienced: Sensory Perception Disturbance: Auditory Hallucinations, low self-esteem and self-care deficit. The nursing care provided is by continuing to establish therapeutic communication with a 1-2 meeting strategy for patients with hallucinations to speed up the patient's recovery process and success in the nursing process. Hallucinations are states in which a person experiences changes in the pattern and amount of stimulation initiated internally or externally around them with excessive reduction in distortion, or abnormal response to each stimulation. Hallucinations are also wrong or false perceptions but they are also false or false perceptions but there is no stimulus that causes them. Auditory hallucinations are hearing human voices, or sounds that range from simple voices to voices that talk about the client so that the client responds to that voice or sound. Auditory hallucinations are hearing human voices, animals or machines, objects, natural events and music in a conscious state without any stimulation

Source-Credibility Information and Social Norms Improve Truth Discernment and Reduce Engagement with Misinformation Online
Authors: Prike Toby , Butler Lucy , Ecker Ullrich K. H.
Published: April 2023

Misinformation on social media is a pervasive challenge. In this study (N = 415) a social-media simulation was used to test two potential interventions for countering misinformation: a credibility badge and a social norm. The credibility badge was implemented by associating accounts, including participants’, with a credibility score. Participants’ credibility score was dynamically updated depending on their engagement with true and false posts. To implement the social-norm intervention, participants were provided with both a descriptive norm (i.e., most people do not share misinformation) and an injunctive norm (i.e., sharing misinformation is the wrong thing to do). Both interventions were effective. The social-norm intervention led to reduced belief in false claims and improved discrimination between true and false claims. It also had some positive impact on social-media engagement, although some effects were not robust to alternative analysis specifications. The presence of credibility badges led to greater belief in true claims, lower belief in false claims, and improved discrimination. The credibility-badge intervention also had robust positive impacts on social-media engagement, leading to increased flagging and decreased liking and sharing of false posts. Cumulatively, the results suggest that both interventions have potential to combat misinformation and improve the social-media information landscape.
On the Subjective Value of Life
Authors: Arandjelović Ognjen
Published: April 2023

Claims or the implicit assumption of the inherent worth of life are pervasive and remain virtually unchallenged. I have already argued that these outright moral dictates are thinly veiled vestiges of theological ethics which, following the removal of their theological foundations, remain little more than nebulous claims supported only by fear of the consequences of a challenge. In my previous work, I rejected an a priori claim of an objective life’s worth, which is the worth that we should assign to others’ lives, and elucidated a principled framework that gives rise to the said worth immediately, as a consequence of the experiences of its sentient environment. Herein, I address the complementary question of the value of one’s own life, which is the subjective value of life and, thus, Camus’s (in)famous view that “there is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide”. As before, I rejected the inherency of a life’s worth, showing it to be contradictio in adjecto, and instead show how this worth too can in large part be seen to emerge from sentient experiences of the subject. Many of these are innately linked to experiences of other sentient beings as objects, thus erecting a framework that is both principled and thoroughly humane with Schopenhauer’s ‘loving kindness’ running through it. Practically, my framework illuminates an understanding of suicide as a real-world phenomenon, helping those who remain living to understand a deceased one’s decision, and paving the way to answering questions, such as when there should be an attempt to prevent suicide, and what means of suicide prevention are ethically permissible.

Sustaining life through human and more-than-human work: The case of litter-raking stands in Bela Krajina, Slovenia
Authors: Niskac Barbara Turk
Published: April 2023

The litter-raking stands of Bela Krajina in Slovenia are taken as a reference point to examine the entanglements of human and more-than-human worlds through the concept of work as an activity that places humans in a relationship with other living beings. In the domestic agricultural economy of the past, the litter-raking stands were used as pastures for livestock in the spring and summer. In the fall, people gathered litter and cut bracken for bedding the livestock that returned to the barns before winter. The practice led to soil degradation and acidification, so that only sparsely growing birch, pine, and undergrowth of bracken, spring heath, and common heather grew on these lands. In the process of modernization and de-agrarization these activities have been abandoned since the 1960s, and the most litter-raking stands have since become overgrown. Today, some of these stands are protected as natural heritage under Natura 2000. They are home to various birds, butterflies, insects, fungi and orchids and are cut only to preserve biotic diversity. Fast reforestation in this context thus points to the importance of moderate human disturbances for biodiversity conservation. Based on a case study of litter-raking stands, this paper acknowledges the ethic of care as inherent to work as a life-sustaining practice where human and non-human well-being are entangled (Krzywoszynska 2020). Furthermore, it explores whether it is possible to consider work as a life-sustaining practice embedded in a more-than-human relationality, reciprocity, and care that recognizes “work of nature” (Battistoni 2017) for ecosystem maintenance as well.
A Progressive Critique of the Law and Political Economy Movement
Authors: Woodcock Ramsi
Published: April 2023

The emerging law and political economy movement (LPE) in the United States has mistakenly conflated the conservative law and economics movement of the mid-20th century with law and economics generally. As a result, LPE has failed to draw upon a rich tradition of left-wing law and economic thought that predates the conservative law and economics movement and would provide LPE with powerful analytic tools. Law and economics is not inherently conservative. Indeed, progressives themselves created the field a century ago. The centerpiece of this early work consisted of two key points about the neoclassical approach to economics. The first was that policymakers can structure markets efficiently to produce any distribution of wealth that they desire. In contemporary parlance, law determines the market. The second was that even if a policymaker is constrained to accept a particular market structure, every market generates a surplus that policymakers can in principle redistribute through price regulation or taxation without harming efficiency. In mistakenly rejecting law and economics as enemy propaganda, LPE has found itself fighting old battles or unable to make intellectual headway in new ones. The movement has treated as a major new discovery the now century-old proposition that law determines the market. Unaware of the proposition’s history, LPE has also failed to grasp that conservative law and economics long ago accepted that proposition and parried by arguing that the market also determines the law. This has prevented LPE from offering a rejoinder—a glaring omission given the role this counterattack played in the demise of the New Deal state. Lacking the concept of economic surplus that left-wing law and economics spent so much time developing a century ago, LPE has also found itself unable to appreciate the great variety of the sources of economic power. LPE has instead tended to attribute all economic power to monopoly, leading to a focus on antitrust policy when taxation and rate regulation are more likely to achieve progressive goals.
Locally Ensconced and Globally Integrated: How Positions in Network Structure Relate to a Language-Based Model of Organizational Identification
Authors: Yang Lara , Goldberg Amir , Anshuman Sarayu , Srivastava Sameer
Published: April 2023

Shifting attachments to organizations are a constant in the modern era. What accounts for variation in the strength of organizational identification? Whereas prior work has emphasized organization-level properties and individual differences, this article instead highlights the role of network-structural positions. Distilling insights from prior work on networks and identity, the authors propose that organizational identification strength is positively related to network cohesion—having contacts who are mutually interconnected. Departing from prevailing accounts, they further propose that identification strength also varies via network range—having contacts who inhabit a broad range of network communities. Using the tools of computational linguistics to develop a language-based measure of identification, they find support for the theory using pooled data of internal communications from three organizations.
Assessing the accuracy indicators of the ground-based spectral estimation of soil moisture

Published: April 2023

Contact point field measurements of soil moisture are characterized by low productivity. High efficiency of determining and monitoring soil moisture can be achieved remote sensing. The known microwave methods for remote determination of soil moisture have low spatial resolution, are expensive and hence unsuitable for the use in agriculture. For estimating soil moisture content, the article proposes the ground-based on-board complex, which includes an on-board passive meter of the optical signal reflected from the soil and a ground contact meter. Operation of the latter can be performed either by an automatic measuring network or by an operator conducting contact measurements. The authors formulated and solved the problem related to assessing the accuracy of validation of the on-board measurement of soil moisture content. As an on-board meter, a passive radiation spectroradiometer of the soil illuminated by the Sun is used, and as a ground meter, a contact meter is used for estimating soil moisture at different spatial increments. The accuracy indicators of ground measurements and their relationship with the estimated values were analyzed. Comparison of the results obtained by the ground and on-board measurements allowed to determine the relationship between the moisture content measured from the board and the error of ground measurements as a validation error.

Published: April 2023

Background: Pleural diseases commonly encountered are pleural effusion, pneumothorax, pleural wall thickening, and pleural mass. Medical thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. The medical diagnostic thoracoscopy in local anesthesia is a simple, low-cost investigation with relatively high diagnostic accuracy, no mortality, and low morbidity. A diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis (TB) could be achieved in 99% of patients as against 51% using closed pleural biopsy.
Aims and Objectives: Assessment of the role of medical rigid thoracoscopy in patients with pleural effusion of unknown etiology in a tertiary health care setup. The primary objectives of the study were to evaluate the diagnostic yield of medical thoracoscopy in pleural effusion of unknown etiology.
Materials and Methods: The study duration/time frame to address the study: November 2017–February 2019 sample size with Justification Sample size: Minimum 31 patients. It was a prospective observational study. All patients admitted in hospital/daycare at LHRC presenting with pleural effusion with unknown etiology. All patients had a medical thoracoscopy, and samples were sent for microbiological and histological analysis. Clinical, thoracoscopic results and histopathological data of the patients were collected prospectively and analyzed.
Results: In this study, 28 patients out of 31 patients were diagnosed. The diagnostic yield of thoracoscopic pleural biopsy was 90.3% Out of 31 patients, the most common complication found was chest pain 48.4% (15/31), followed by 09.7% (03/31) of the cases had complications such as surgical emphysema, postoperative fever, and bleeding. There were no complications in 32.2% (10/31) patients.
Conclusion: Medical thoracoscopy is a noble procedure that helps the pulmonologist/surgeon to inspect the pleural cavity. It is a safe and effective diagnostic as well as a therapeutic tool with a high diagnostic yield. The most common differentials of undiagnosed pleural effusion cases are TB and malignancy.

Endoscopic transventricular resection of a colloid cyst
Authors: Lehmann Sebastian , Schroeder Henry W. S.
Published: April 2023

This video demonstrates the purely endoscopic gross-total resection of a third ventricle colloid cyst that is partially covered by a large thalamostriate vein. To gain an ideal approach, the initial trajectory pointed to the interventricular septum above the cyst. After the head of the caudate nucleus is passed, it is retracted laterally by the endoscopic sheath for the ideal far lateral approach to the cyst. Using a pneumatic endoscope holder enables the surgeon to perform the procedure bimanually. After complete removal of the cyst, postoperative inspection confirms the intact fornix, veins, and caudate nucleus without signs of pressure-related damage.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to determine an optimal follow-up imaging surveillance strategy in terms of cost-effectiveness after resection of nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas with curative intent.

METHODS

An individual-level state-transition microsimulation model was used to simulate costs and outcomes associated with three postoperative imaging strategies over a lifetime time horizon: 1) annual MRI surveillance, 2) tapered MRI surveillance (annual surveillance for 5 years followed by surveillance every 2 years), and 3) personalized surveillance (annual surveillance for 5 years followed by surveillance every 2 years when MRI shows remnant disease/postoperative changes, and surveillance at 7, 10, and 15 years for disease-free MRI). Transition probabilities, utilities, and costs were estimated from recent published data and discounted by 3% annually. Model outcomes included lifetime costs (2022 US dollars), quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs).

RESULTS

Under base case assumptions, annual surveillance yielded higher costs and lower health effects (QALYs) compared with the tapered and personalized surveillance strategies (dominated). Personalized surveillance demonstrated an additional 0.1 QALY at additional cost ($1298) compared with tapered surveillance (7.7 QALYs at a cost of $12,862). The ICER was $11,793/QALY. The optimal decision was most sensitive to the probability of postoperative changes on MRI after surgery and MRI cost. Accounting for parameter uncertainty, personalized surveillance had a higher probability of being a cost-effective surveillance option compared with the alternative strategies at 79%.

CONCLUSIONS

Using standard cost-effectiveness thresholds in the US ($100,000/QALY), personalized surveillance that accounted for remnant disease or postoperative changes on MRI was cost-effective compared with alternative surveillance strategies.
