Maceraperest Hille Emîri Dübeys B. Sadaka’nın 1132-1135 Yılları Arasında Irak Selçuklu Sultanları, Abbâsî Hilâfeti ve Büyük Selçuklu Hükümdarı ile Münasebetleri
Authors: TAN Pınar Kaya
Published: June 2022

Dübeys b. Sadaka başta Hille olmak üzere merkezî Irak’ta bulunan hânedanı Mezyedîlerin

otoritesini artırmak isteyen bir Arap Emîri’ydi. Bu sebeple hem Abbâsî Hilâfeti

ile hem de Irak Selçuklu Devleti ile bölgedeki çıkarları yüzünden ters düşmüş ve her iki

siyasî teşekkülle sıklıkla karşı karşıya kalmıştı. Bu münasebetle o, kimi zaman Abbâsî

Halifelerinin güçsüz durumlarından faydalanmaya çalışmış; kimi zamansa Irak Selçuklu

hânedan mensupları arasındaki taht mücadeleleri Dübeys’e aradığı fırsatı sunmuştu.

Ancak karşısına çıkan her türlü fırsattan istifade etmeye çalışmışsa da Dübeys b. Sadaka

istediği başarıları tam manasıyla elde edememişti. Muvaffak olamadığı zamanlarda

bölgeden kaçmak zorunda kalıp çevredeki hâkim güçlere sığınmış ve Dübeys’le birlikte

hânedanı da zor günler yaşamıştı. Bununla beraber onun yağma ve talan faaliyetleri hem

Abbâsîlere hem Irak Selçuklularına zarar vermiş, halkı güç durumda bırakmıştı. Nitekim

Dübeys b. Sadaka yadsınamaz şekilde her daim kendisinden korkulan emîrlerden biri olmuştu.

Mezkûr emîrin Batı ve Doğu’daki Selçuklular, ayrıca Abbâsîler ile münasebetlerini

inceleyen makalenin devamı niteliğindeki bu araştırmada Dübeys b. Sadaka’nın Büyük Selçuklu hükümdarı, Abbâsî Hilâfeti ve Irak Selçukluları üçgeninde 1132-1135 seneleri

arasında vuku bulan olaylardaki rolü, kaynaklardaki bilgiler ışığında değerlendirilecektir.

Published: June 2022

Tarihî dönem Eski Türk ve Orta İran dilleri üzerinde bugüne kadar yapılmış adbilimsel

incelemelerden farklı olarak bu çalışma, Rabatak ve Orhon yazıtlarında şah ve

kağanlara atfedilen söz varlığının karşılaştırmalı anlam alanı incelemesini içermektedir.

Çalışmanın “Giriş” bölümünde, kuramsal çerçeveyi belirleyen anlam alanı terimi tanımlanmış;

Baktriyalılar ve Türkler arasındaki erken dönem temaslara dikkat çekilmiştir.

“İnceleme” bölümünde şah ve kağanları tanımlayan sözcükler ve söz öbekleri “soyut

kavramlar”, “mensubiyet” ve “yöneticilik vasıfları” anlam alanları içerisinde bir araya

getirilmiştir. “Soyut kavramlar” anlam alanında şah ve kağanları ilahî bir güçle ilişkilendiren

söz varlığı; “mensubiyet” anlam alanında mensubu olunan toplum ve mensubu

olunan ailenin bilgilerini içeren söz varlığı; “yöneticilik vasıfları” anlam alanında ise

şah ve kağanların olumlu özelliklerini ifade eden söz varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın

sonunda Rabatak ve Orhon yazıtları söz varlığı arasında genel bir karşılaştırma yapılmıştır.

Bu karşılaştırmanın sonucunda Rabatak yazıtında şah Kanişka’yı “kendisinde bulunan”

özelliklerle tanımlayan söz varlığına karşın, Orhon yazıtlarında Türk kağanları

çoğunlukla “halka sağlanan imkânlar” üzerinden tanımlayan bir söz varlığı görülmüştür.

Bunun yanında, Rabatak yazıtından farklı olarak Orhon yazıtlarında kadın yöneticileri de

tanımlayan söz varlığı dikkat çekmektedir.
Listen Up: Collective Armenian Genocide Postmemory in Micheline Aharonian Marcom’s Three Apples Fell from Heaven
Authors: Gulesserian Lisa Ann
Published: June 2022

In 2001, Micheline Aharonian Marcom published her novel Three Apples Fell from Heaven to imagine the Armenian genocide her family survived. Marcom's novel could aptly be described as a work of ‘postmemory,’ per Marianne Hirsch's coinage. And yet, reading Marcom’s novel as a work of postmemory poses many problems, since the novel does not fit neatly into Hirsch’s theory which scholars have criticized as being too individualistic. By close reading Three Apples Fell from Heaven and Marcom's use of storytelling as an ethical mediator between memory and postmemory, I arrive at a modified theorization of Hirsch's theory. I identify the potential of a collective postmemory that invigorates the productive anger of both writer and reader.

A NATO Arktisz politikája: elrettentés és védelem
Authors: Gazdag Erika
Published: June 2022

A cikk a NATO új biztonsági fenyegetési listáján szereplõ Északi-sarkvidék (Arktisz) biztonság- és védelempolitikai kérdéseivel foglalkozik. Az Arktisz fontos szerepet játszik a NATO-politikában, demonstrálja a 360 fokos biztonsági megközelítést, lehetõséget ad az elrettentés és védelem regionális adaptációjára, valamint a katonai veszélyhelyzeti tervezés sajátosságainak alkalmazására. Az írás elõször bemutatja a NATO új elrettentés-felfogását, amely – többek között – az észak-európai országok védelmének hitelességét kívánja garantálni. Részletesen jellemzi a NATO Arktisz-politikáját, majd feldolgozza a „Távoli Észak” címû forgatókönyvet, amelyen keresztül elérhetõ szövetség összehangolt elrettentési erõfeszítéseinek erõsítése. A dokumentum a koncepcionális megoldások dinamikus tesztelésével támogatja egy összehangolt elrettentési keretrendszer kidolgozását, amelyet a cikk befejezõ része mutat be. Az írás bizonyítani kívánja, hogy a NATO általános politikája, regionális szakpolitikája (Arktisz) és a stratégiai védelmi tervezés között dinamikus hierarchikus kapcsolatrendszer van, amely képes integrálni az új biztonsági fenyegetéseket a megújuló elrettentési megközelítésekbe, és biztosítja a politikai irányvonal érvényesülését a hosszú távú katonai fejlesztések területén.

A muzeális katonai rádiók kereskedelmének és forgalmazásának kérdései a hatályos haditechnikai szabályozás tükrében
Authors: Minkó-Miskovics Mariann
Published: June 2022

A muzeális katonai rádiók kereskedelmének, illetve forgalmazásának kérdésköre egy marginális területnek tűnhet, ugyanakkor a katonai hírközlési eszközök körét tekintve jelentősége mindenképp kiemelkedő. A muzeális katonai rádiókra vonatkozó szabályozás, így különösen forgalmazásukra és kereskedelmükre vonatkozó szabályok még nem kerültek elemzésre, pedig egy ország védelempolitikája, illetve hírközlése során rendkívül fontosnak tekinthetők. A tanulmány célja annak bemutatása, hogyan alakul Magyarországon, mint az Európai Unió egy tagállamában a muzeális katonai rádiókra, azok kereskedelmére és forgalmazására vonatkozó szabályozás, illetve ennek milyen büntetőjogi vetületei vannak.

A közösségi médiaplatformok jelenléte a COVID-19 járvány alatt létrehozott egy infodémiás állapotot. A felhasználóknak nagy mennyiségű információ vált elérhetővé, melyeknek bizonyos tartalma álhír. A felhasználók és a kormányzati szereplők számára kihívást jelent a felmerülő álhírek ellenőrzése. Problémát jelent ezen tartalmakkal szembeni fellépés is. Továbbá kérdés, hogy egy állami szereplő hogyan tud fellépni az álhírekkel szemben egy olyan platformon, amit nem ő birtokol. Ezekre a kérdésekre a felhasználók szemszögéből kérdőíven keresztül kerestük a választ. Választ kívánunk arra adni, hogy miért nehéz a moderáció kérdésköre, hogyan lehet elősegíteni az álhírek elnyomását. A kutatásunkban megismertük, hogy a kereshetőség növelése elősegíti az álhírellenőrzést.
Szemléletváltás a veszélyhelyzeti kommunikációban
Authors: Bene Viktória
Published: June 2022

Az információs fejlődés révén kialakult generációk közötti szakadékok egyre szélesebbé válása felhívja a figyelmet információs szokások problémájára, melyben mindig lesznek haladók és lemaradók. A generációs különbségek a lakosságtájékoztatás területén is megkövetelik a különböző kommunikációs módszerek alkalmazását, mely során a fejlett digitalizáció és a tradicionális tájékoztatás igényét is figyelembe kell venni. A szerző a lakosságvédelem szemszögéből mutatja be, hogy veszélyhelyzetben az online és offline kommunikáció során a rendelkezésre álló időnek és a térnek jelentőségére is kiemelt figyelmet kell fordítani. Mindemellett az idősödő lakosság védelmét az idővel való versenyfutással és a távolságok áthidalásával is meg kell valósítani. Ezzel az információs fejlődés paradigmaváltást idézett elő.

Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı 1987-2020 dönemi için Türkiye’de paranın dolaşım hızının ve para talebinin belirleyicilerini araştırmak ve para politikalarıyla ilgili çalışmalara katkı sağlamaktır. Doğrusal Olmayan Sınır Testi Yaklaşımı (NARDL) yöntemi ile ulaşılan sonuçlara göre uzun dönemde paranın dolaşım hızının (v) ekonomik büyüme artışlarından azalışlara göre daha güçlü etkilenmektedir. Benzer şekilde faiz oranındaki artışlar faiz oranındaki düşüşlere göre paranın dolanım hızı üzerinde çok daha güçlü bir etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca elde edilen sonuçlara göre döviz kurlarındaki pozitif değişimlerin negatif değişimlere göre paranın dolanım hızı üzerinde daha güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu sonuçlara göre para talebinin gelir esnekliği pozitif, paranın faiz esnekliği negatiftir. Ayrıca döviz kuru esnekliği pozitiftir. Ayrıca elde edilen sonuçlara göre kısa dönemde faiz oranındaki ve kısa ve uzun dönemde reel efektif döviz kurunda meydana gelecek olumlu değişimlerinin olumsuz değişimlere kıyasla para talebi üzerinde daha etkili olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Pozitif işaretli döviz kuru esnekliği servet etkisinin varlığını destekleyici niteliktedir.
A THEORETICAL MODEL ON THE ROLE OF ASPIRATIONS IN THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF BORN GLOBAL COMPANIES
Authors: YAVUZ R. Isil
Published: June 2022

This paper proposes a theoretical model explaining how entrepreneurs’ international aspirations are formed and how these aspirations shape early internationalization processes. By integrating and extending the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) and the behavioral theory of the firm (Cyert & March, 1963), the model suggests that entrepreneurs’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are antecedents to the level of aspirations to internationalize, which, in turn, influence the variety of actions that entrepreneurs take. Moreover, the model highlights the mediating role of implementation planning and the moderating role of environmental dynamism in the early internationalization process.

Commentary-practicing state of the art occlusion in the Digital Era of Dentistry
Authors: Kerstein RB
Published: June 2022

New technological developments in modern dental medicine offer clinicians insight and treatment advances to many outdated, dogmatic concepts that have been widely believed for many years, despite there being a lack of scientific evidence to support them. This is especially true in the field of Dental Occlusion, whose scientific development has been hampered by the use of traditional, non-digital occlusal indicators that do not quantify occlusion, other than possibly describing “contact area”.
British and Montenegrin university lecture introductions: A corpus-based study of their rhetorical structure
Authors: Živković Branka
Published: June 2022

This study explores the rhetorical structure of university lecture introductions and its linguistic specificities. Applying genre, corpus and contrastive analyses, it aims to identify which moves and steps are used in lecture introductions in English and Montenegrin, as well as to reveal differences and similarities in their structure between the two languages. Drawing upon the Swalesean move approach (1981, 1990) and referring to the models already established in the literature, the study examines academic lectures in the linguistics discipline taken from the electronically available British corpora, and a specially compiled corpus of Montenegrin linguistic lectures. The results show the major difference lying in a more elaborate British lecture introductions framework. It consists of three moves – Move 1: Orienting the students, Move 2: Setting-up lecture framework and Move 3: Putting topic in context, compared to a two-move structure of Montenegrin lecture introductions composed of Move 2 and Move 3. Some specific differences are also noticed in the composition of these two moves. The main similarity exists in the presence of two obligatory moves in both corpora, Move 2 and Move 3 respectively, reflecting the influence of the lecture as an established academic genre in university settings regardless of the language lectures were delivered in. In addition, compared to the established models in the literature, the findings have yielded three steps original to this study.

THE WORLD OF IMAGES IN DATING APPS: “DICTATORSHIP OF CLICHÉS” VS. NATURALITY
Authors: CÖBEK Gözde
Published: June 2022

The myth “women prioritize socioeconomic status whereas men value physical beauty” is continuously reproduced. The heterosexual online dating literature that addresses image production highlights the dominance of this gendered and heteronormative binary in self-presentations. Examining how heterosexual individuals use dating apps, this study focuses on image consumption and how profiles as the products of this beauty-status binary are perceived. Using video interviews and reenactment techniques to analyze users’ practices of swiping, i.e., mate selection, this study also offers a novel research method to the literature. The findings demonstrate how the so-called binary creates a dictatorship of clichés and how individuals affectively, though partially, respond to this visual bombardment by feeling an attraction toward naturality. It underlines that bodies are not simply shaped and controlled by cultural institutions, norms, and laws but also respond to the situations and environments in which they find themselves. This paper invites future studies to focus on what images can do to bodies and how bodies respond to them and break the beauty-status myth rather than expose it.
AN EXAMINATION ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF IMAGE OF THE ARCHIVE IN FILM MEDIUM
Authors: BEZAZOGLU Duygu
Published: June 2022

As a concept archive encapsulates different levels of profoundness and has a loaded meaning. This concept has interpenetrated into many disciplines and gained a strong position as a theoretical tool in the late twentieth century. As much as the variety and elasticity of its conceptual elaborations, the imaged existence of the archive in the fiction medium also reflects a certain heterogeneity; archive spaces are depicted in connection with associations such as ‘being buried, accessibility difficulty, security, dusty and old environment’. Dematerialization of its basic unit, the document, leads archive space to lose its materiality as well. This creates an interest and ambiguity for the archive’s future. Among these ambiguities, the study initiates a discussion for the imagination of the future of the archive and looks into the archive’s techno-cybernetic envisagement via analyzing the film Archive (2020). According to this analysis, the meanings associated with the archive are constructed via three distinct levels; these are the architectural features of the facility, the representation of the archive as data storage, finally, its embodiment as a synthetic body, which hints that the archive will evolve from a static repository to a variable and active process between past knowledge and the phantasy of the future. The article argues that without reduction to representations at any one layer, a mental image of the archive arises from their interaction and concludes that the archive is not an object, but a web of relations that is open to reproduction and interaction of what it contains.
DRONE FOOTAGE AND PEACE JOURNALISM: THE EXAMPLE OF THE SECOND KARABAKH WAR
Authors: ERTUNA Can
Published: June 2022

Drones, with their ever-increasing use in recent warfare, are capable of transmitting high-quality images, which might then be exploited for propaganda purposes by the opposing forces in a war. In this article, the release of drone footages by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan during the 44-day war in Karabakh against the Armenian forces in 2020 is analyzed, and the Turkish media’s approach to this matter is evaluated. It was observed that 45% of the videos uploaded to the Ministry’s Facebook and YouTube accounts were taken by drones. These videos frequently mentioned by the international media not only circulated on the internet but also were used by the Turkish media, often without being edited. The increasing use of such footages from battlefields also poses new questions in terms of peace journalism. This paper claims that drone footages that are promoted to provide visual journalistic evidence and unlimited access to battlefields have intrinsic war-oriented characteristics. When used as directly shared by the military, such raw footages serve an elite and propaganda-oriented attitude and shut the viewer into a closed space and time, dividing the world into “us” and “them” while contributing to the perception of “them” being the target.
What Does “Being Informed” Mean? Assessing Social Media Users’ Self-Concepts of Informedness
Authors: Kümpel Anna Sophie , Anter Luise , Unkel Julian
Published: June 2022

In recent years, much research has—more or less candidly—asked whether the use of social media platforms is “making us dumber” (Cacciatore et al., 2018). Likewise, discussions around constructs such as the news-finds-me perception or illusions of knowledge point to concerns about social media users being inadequately informed. This assessment of inadequacy, explicitly or implicitly, builds on the ideal of the informed citizen with a broad interest in current affairs who knows about all important societal issues. However, research has largely ignored what citizens themselves understand as “being informed.” Accordingly, this research project asks what people actually want to be informed about, which user characteristics predict different self-concepts of informedness, and how both of these aspects relate to feelings of being informed in the context of social media platforms. Based on a preregistered, national representative survey of German social media users (n = 1,091), we find that keeping up with news and political information is generally less important for people than staying informed about their personal interests and their social environment. However, feelings of being informed through social media are most strongly predicted by how suitable a given social media platform is perceived to be for keeping up-to-date with current affairs. This suggests that while information needs are diverse and related to different sociodemographic and personal characteristics, most people indeed seem to associate “being informed” with political information and news.
Milk exosomes as delivery agents for therapy of cancer diseases
Authors: Sedykh S. E. , Timofeeva A. M. , Kuleshova A. E. , Nevinskiy G. A.
Published: June 2022

Exosomes are natural nanovesicles with a diameter of 40–100 nm, which are actively involved in the transfer of biologically active substances and participate in intercellular communication. The natural origin of exosomes determines its biological compatibility with cell cultures and makes them promising delivery vehicles for anticancer drugs. Methods of the artificial production of exosomes are not available, and exosome preparations obtained from tumor cells are not suitable for therapy. Milk is a biological fluid that is commercially available and may be a universal source of exosomes for treatment. Target delivery of anticancer drugs using milk exosomes can reduce the toxic effect of cytostatic agents during chemotherapy. This review discusses methods for isolating exosomes from milk, their additional purification, and analysis of their biologically significant components – proteins and nucleic acids, and prospects for using milk exosomes to treat cancer.

Investigation of the effects of surface roughness on friction behavior in hydrodynamic radial plain bearings
Authors: BAŞ Hasan
Published: June 2022

In hydrodynamic plain bearings, parameters such as friction coefficient, oil film thickness, pressure distribution, oil flow, etc. are very important design criteria in terms of bearing design and optimum energy efficiency. In this study, in order to investigate the effects of surface roughness on bearing performance in hydrodynamic plain bearings, experiments were carried out at different loads and temperatures using two bearing envelopes with the same bearing material and with different surface roughness. As a result of the experiments, it was determined that the surface roughness was more effective especially in the boundary and mixed friction region than in the fluid friction region. It was determined that while the oil film formation ability decreased with increasing surface roughness, wear and power loss in the bearing increased.
Los Villares locality (Ruidera, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain): a new Middle Pleistocene fossil assemblage from the Southern Iberian Plateau with possible evidence of human activity

Published: June 2022

We present the discovery of a Middle Pleistocene fossil assemblage at Los Villares (Ruidera, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha), which has possible evidence of associated human activity. The potential of the site has been evaluated through multidisciplinary research including taxonomy, anatomy, deep learning, and direct dating of fossil remains. A surface study carried out in 2017, over a very limited area (2 m2) on the slope of one of the Ruidera lakes led to the discovery of more than 50 fossil specimens, including cranial (mainly teeth) and postcranial remains. This rich assemblage is dominated by the remains of Caprinae, although the presence of some small or medium carnivore remains also stands out. The identification of a cut mark, tested with Convolutional Neural Networks, suggests the presence of human activity within the bone assemblage. Several fossils were directly dated using a multi-technique approach involving radiocarbon, U-Th, and ESR methods. The results constrain the fossil assemblage to between 300 ka and 400 ka, positioning Los Villares as one of the first Middle Pleistocene localities identified in the Upper Guadiana basin, on the Southern edge of the Southern Iberian Plateau. These promising initial results show the great potential of the site to contribute to filling a gap of knowledge in the Pleistocene archaeo-paleontological record of the Iberian Peninsula. Nevertheless, we also acknowledge the need for systematic excavations in the future, not only to obtain a better idea of the lateral and stratigraphic extension of the fossil assemblage and its complete taxonomic composition but to confirm the human presence at the site.

A New Variant of Game Theory Based Decision Making (GTDM) Algorithm Routing Protocols to Improve Energy Efficiency on Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN)
Authors: Triadi Muhammad Biben , Perdana Doan , Munadi Rendy , Wenzao Li
Published: June 2022

These days, the application of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) have been expanded into various scenarios of communications field. Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) as a communication scenario which treat its subject to disruption and disconnection with frequent partitioning and high latency. Therefore, Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN) is introduced as a new research paradigm due to several characteristics match according to specific prerequisites. DTNs is proposed in Vehicular Network because its mechanisms which is using store-carry-forward, can be implemented to deliver the packets, without end-to-end connection, to the destination. One of challenging research of DTN in routing protocol is to meet prerequisites of many applications, especially in vehicular network (VDTN).  This paper presents a new variant of Game Theory based on Decision Making (GTDM) that can deliver packet to static node due to improve the energy efficiency of DTNs in city environments. Hence, its destination node (Receiver Node) needs to go to the static node to take their packet under Working Day Movement (WDM), because relay node will be passing by the static node with continuously move to its track to deliver packet. In this paper author will analyze the new variant of GTDM (NVGTDM) which can be more useful than original GTDM for application in city environment with using transportation movement. We conclude that modification of GTDM routing algorithm (NVGTDM) improves energy efficiency as much as 10.38% than the original GTDM. Hence, it can be ensured to compare either to Epidemic or PRoPHET routing algorithm with 55.44% and 68.75% in rates of energy efficiency respectively.

Published: June 2022

As mobile applications grow, securing these applications become an important factor for their success. Especially, when these applications are related to financial transactions. Nowadays, mobile payment that is based on NFC technology is considered one of these important topics. In this paper, we propose A New Secure and Lightweight Authentication Protocol for NFC mobile Payment (NSLA) protocol. NSLA protocol presents a new method to update the users’ identities and the valid session keys, which preserves the privacy and ensures the integrity of the system. The presented performance analysis shows that NSLA protocol satisfies low computation overhead. Moreover, the security analysis proves that NSLA protocol has an immunity against replay attack, brute force attack, denial of service attack, and others types of attacks.

With the advent of digital technology, computer networks have developed rapidly at an unprecedented pace contributing tremendously to social and economic development. They have become the backbone for all critical sectors and all the top Multi-National companies. Unfortunately, security threats for computer networks have increased dramatically over the last decade being much brazen and bolder. Intrusions or attacks on computers and networks are activities or attempts to jeopardize main system security objectives, which called as confidentiality, integrity and availability. They lead mostly in great financial losses, massive sensitive data leaks, thereby decreasing efficiency and the quality of productivity of an organization. There is a great need for an effective Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), which are security tools designed to interpret the intrusion attempts in incoming network traffic, thereby achieving a solid line of protection against inside and outside intruders. In this work, we propose to optimize a very popular soft computing tool prevalently used for intrusion detection namely Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) using a novel machine learning framework called “ISAGASAA”, based on Improved Self-Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (ISAGA) and Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SAA). ISAGA is our variant of standard Genetic Algorithm (GA), which is developed based on GA improved through an Adaptive Mutation Algorithm (AMA) and optimization strategies. The optimization strategies carried out are Parallel Processing (PP) and Fitness Value Hashing (FVH) that reduce execution time, convergence time and save processing power. While, SAA was incorporated to ISAGA in order to optimize its heuristic search. Experimental results based on Kyoto University benchmark dataset version 2015 demonstrate that our optimized NIDS based BPNN called “ANID BPNN-ISAGASAA” outperforms several state-of-art approaches in terms of detection rate and false positive rate. Moreover, improvement of GA through FVH and PP saves processing power and execution time. Thus, our model is very much convenient for network anomaly detection.

Cloud computing is an information technology that enables different users to access a shared pool of configurable system resources and different services without physically acquiring them. Most industries nowadays such as banking, healthcare and education are migrating to the cloud due to its efficiency of services especially when it comes to data security and integrity. Cloud platforms encounter numerous challenges such as Data deduplication, Data Transmission, Data Integrity, VM Security, Data Availability, Bandwidth usage… etc. In this paper we have adopted the Blockchain technology - which is a relatively new technology - that emerged for the first time as the cryptocurrency Bitcoin and proved its efficiency in securing data and assuring data integrity. It is mostly a distributed public ledger that holds transactions data in case of Bitcoin. In our work blockchains are adopted in a different way than its regular use in bitcoin. Three of the major challenges in Cloud Computing and Cloud services are Data Deduplication, Storage and Bandwidth usage are discussed in this paper.

Treatment of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease is percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting according to current European and American guidelines. Depending on the anatomical complexity of the coronary artery lesion, one of the methods is chosen, with usage of a risk scale based on the SYNTAX study. However, Syntax score is actively discussed as not an optimal risk scale, because of unmatched with modern clinical possibilities This article presents current, different opinions on anatomical and clino-anatomical risk scores, which allows to choose the optimal method of revascularization for patients with three-vessel disease and/or left main coronary artery lesions.

Published: June 2022

Highlights. The combination of congenital aortic valve insufficiency and abnormal coronary artery discharge is rare. Taking into account the fact that coronary angiography is not indicated for young patients, there may be a risk of injury to the coronary artery during the correction of aortic malformation. The published case indicates the need for routine coronary angiography for all patients, regardless of their age, who are going to have aortic valve surgery.

Background. Anomalous origin from right sinus and pathway of circumflex coronary artery can complicate aortic valve and root procedures. Computed tomography scan with contrast and selective angiography help to recognize the malformation and protect circumflex artery. Herein we present the case of valve sparing root replacement in patient with bicuspid regurgitant aortic valve and anomalous origin of circumflex artery.

Published: June 2022

Highlights. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is estimated to occur nearly in one per 100 newborns and a third of these babies are in need of corrective procedures. There is a downward trend in mortality associated with advances in surgical treatment and perioperative care. An increasing number of patients with corrected CHD are accumulating in the population. This article provides a literary review of the current state of long-term outcomes of CHD corrections and possible mechanisms for improving late outcomes.

Abstract The article analyzes the literature on long-term results of surgical treatment of congenital heart defects and possible mechanisms for their improvement. The bibliographic method was used. The analysis of domestic and foreign literary sources with a search depth of 20 years is carried out. The criteria for including publications were: access to full-text publications, original research, scientific and review articles. Exclusion criteria: abstracts and summaries of publications. The following search queries were formulated for the review: in English: late outcomes of corrections of congenital heart defects, in Russian: long-term results of corrections of congenital heart defects, long-term results after corrections of congenital heart defects. The used search engines are Science Direct, PubMed, Cyberleninka, E-library. The analysis of the literary data showed that the volume and duration of patients’ observation that underwent surgical correction of congenital heart defects remain controversial. In world and domestic practice modern digital technologies are used for the purpose of patients remote monitoring. Remote monitoring programs in the Russian Federation are used for such socially significant diseases as diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, as well as cardiac rehabilitation of adult patients. There are no similar programs for patients with congenital heart defects. There is a problem of patients remote monitoring after congenital heart defects surgical treatment. In Russia today there is no any comprehensive program for remote monitoring of children after congenital heart disease surgical correction. We believe that a universal remote monitoring system for managing this group of patients must be created.

Highlights. The association of single nucleotide polymorphic variants rs12143842 and rs4657139 of the NOS1AP gene with the duration of the QT interval was found in men of the Siberian population.

Aim. To study the association of single nucleotide variants rs12143842 and rs4657139 of the NOS1AP gene with the duration of the QT interval.

Methods. The study sample of men (1353 people) aged 25–69 years was formed from the DNA bank of participants in the international HAPIEE project and screening of young people 25–44 years old, residents of Novosibirsk. From each age subgroup (25–29, 30–34, …, 65–69 years old), about 10–15% of men with the shortest, average and longest QT interval were selected and the corresponding groups were formed. Genotyping of rs4657139 was carried out using PCR with RFLP (polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis). Genotyping rs12143842 – using RT-PCR (real-time polymerase chain reaction).

Results. At the age of over 50 years, the CC genotype rs12143842 was detected in 66.1% of men in the group with a short and average QT interval and in 50.6% in the group with a long QT interval, while the TT genotype prevailed in the group with a long QT interval, 10, 8% of cases (odds ratio (OR) = 3.345, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.149–9.739, p = 0.02). The homozygous TT genotype rs4657139 was more common in the long QT group, in 20.1% of cases, while the AA and AT genotypes predominated in the short, average QT groups (p = 0.041). A similar trend persists when separating by age in people over 50 years of age (p = 0.031) and when comparing genotype frequencies in the long and average QT groups in the model TT vs AA + AT & long QT vs short + average QT (p = 0.003).

Conclusion. Single nucleotide variants rs12143842 and rs4657139 of the NOS1AP gene are associated with the duration of the QT interval in male residents of Novosibirsk.

Published: June 2022

Aim. To study the perioperative dynamics of myocardial injury biomarkers and determine their significance in assessing the postoperative mortality risk in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer.

Methods. The study included 82 male patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing pneumonectomy. The median age was 64 (59; 67) years. The blood levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) were noted before and after surgery. The rate of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) was determined. The postoperative cTnI level above 0.023 μg/L was considered as MINS criterion. The significance of the studied biomarkers in predicting the total mortality within 6 months after surgery was assessed using the univariate and multivariate Cox regression and ROC analysis.

Results. Compared to baseline levels, all myocardial injury biomarkers increased in 24 and 48h after surgery: cTnI by 120 and 85%, NT-proBNP by 128 and 129%, FABP by 207 and 31%, respectively. The postoperative cTnI levels met the MINS criterion in 45.1% of patients. During the follow-up period 12 patients died, 9 (75%) of those were diagnosed with MINS. Based on the results of the univariate Cox regression overall postoperative mortality was associated with NTproBNP levels before and after the surgery, cTnI growth rate after the surgery and MINS. According to the multivariate Cox regression (adjusted for age and other clinical parameters), preoperative NT-proBNP and atrial fibrillation proved to be the independent predictors of postoperative mortality. The cut-off value of preoperative NT-proBNP was 225 pg/mL; relative risk of death above that value was 5.9 and 95% confidence interval of 1.74–20.0.

Conclusion. In patients with non-small cell lung cancer the increase of cTnI, NT-proBNP and FABP mean levels was observed in 24 and 48 hours after pneumonectomy. MINS was diagnosed in 45.1% of patients. According to the univariate regression analysis, MINS and preoperative and postoperative NT-proBNP levels were associated with the risk of total six-month postoperative mortality. The preoperative NT-proBNP was proved to be an independent predictor of adverse outcome.

According to reports, one of the leading causes of mortality is cancer. Over the years, numerous approaches have been devised to lessen chronic pain and death as well as to elevate the quality of life. However, a scarcity persists in the effectiveness of cancer treatments. Early cancer identification and medication delivery with excellent specificity to reduce toxicities are two critical elements in ensuring effective cancer treatment. As a result of severe systemic toxicities and issues with current cancer diagnostic and treatment procedures, alternative nanotechnology-based techniques are being employed to improve detection and minimize disease severity. Nanotechnology has shown promising breakthroughs in cancer therapy by eliminating tumours with minimal damage to surrounding healthy cells. Since zinc is one of the necessary trace elements found in large amounts in human body tissues, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are said to be the most cost-effective and have the least hazardous characteristics of all metal oxide nanoparticles. In addition, ZnO NPs have several biological uses, notably in the field of drug administration. In this review, we tried to explore the advantage of ZnO NPs in the biomedical field, particularly in the treatment of cancer which can help to facilitate future research progress.
