A Piece of the Piper Puzzle: Systematics of Piper section Enckea, a Neotropical Section in a Giant Genus
Authors: Hastings Cara , Casselman Emma , Davidson Christopher , Bornstein Allan , Buerki Sven , Novak Stephen , Smith James
Published: December 2024

Abstract— Piper (Piperaceae) is a species-rich pantropical genus (∼2000 species) with distinctive morphological characteristics such as swollen nodes, lack of a perianth, and one-seeded berry fruits. Sub-generic lineages within Piper are often associated
with morphological traits and are well supported with molecular data, but sampling in previous studies was incomplete and conflict exists between morphological data and molecular inference. In this paper, Piper section Enckea is evaluated for monophyly by pairing DNA, primarily
from herbarium material, with the Angiosperms353 bait set, high throughput sequencing, recently developed bioinformatic techniques, and two methods of phylogenetic reconstruction, maximum likelihood and multi-species coalescence. The results suggest continued support for recognition of Piper
sect. Enckea as a monophyletic section and contribute to a better understanding of relationships among species within the section. However, they also raise questions about the morphological features used to define P. sect. Enckea and delimit species within the section.
To Lump or to Split? Revision of Cuscuta section Indecorae Using a Combined Morphometric, Phylogenetic, and Host Range Approach
Authors: Burt Corey W. , Stefanović Saša , Fleet Christopher , Costea Mihai
Published: December 2024

Abstract— Cuscuta section Indecorae is an infrageneric clade of Cuscuta subgenus Grammica that originated in North America which includes three species: C. indecora, C. coryli, and C. warneri. Some forms of C. indecora
are agricultural weeds, while C. warneri and C. coryli face conservation problems regionally or globally. Cuscuta indecora is a morphologically diverse species with three recognized varieties: C. indecora var. indecora, C. indecora var. longisepala,
and C. indecora var. attenuata. Two recent broad-scale molecular phylogenetic studies raised questions about the circumscription of C. indecora and the validity of its infraspecific taxa. Therefore, we conducted an extensive morphometric study, and used DNA sequences from
plastid and nuclear ribosomal non-coding regions to reconstruct evolutionary relationships among taxa. In addition, we studied the host range of all taxa using herbarium specimens, bipartite networks, and Venn diagrams. Results from all types of evidence confirmed the circumscription of the
three species, but differed on the infraspecific structure of C. indecora. The molecular phylogeny inferred C. indecora as paraphyletic, consisting of two distinct clades, with C. coryli nested within one of them. The morphometric and host range studies uncovered extensive
overlaps both among the traditional varieties of C. indecora as well as between the two molecular lineages of C. indecora. Previously, Iva annua had been considered the sole host of C. indecora var. attenuata (C. attenuata) and this presumed host specificity
was the main criterion for accepting this taxon. We found that the type of C. indecora var. longisepala was also growing on Iva annua, which together with the morphological and genetical similarity, indicates that C. indecora var. attenuata is identical to
C. indecora var. longisepala. Overall, considering the lack of morphological, host range, and geographical patterns distinguishing either the current three varieties of C. indecora or the two cryptic lineages, the most appropriate solution is to tentatively recognize C.
indecora as variable species without recognizing any infraspecific taxa.
Cementitious versus alkali-activated textile reinforced mortars for combined energy and seismic upgrade of masonry panels

Published: December 2024

Masonry retrofitting systems combining seismic with energy upgrading features are increasingly gaining popularity in the scientific community during the past years since they simultaneously address two of the most pressing needs related to the existing building stock. This is commonly realized by applying textile reinforced mortar (TRM) overlays combined with thermal insulation boards on building envelopes. At the same time, the urge for eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable interventions calls for low-cement or even cement-free solutions. This study aims to combine these requirements by experimentally investigating an integrated seismic/energy retrofitting system that incorporates alkali-activated materials (AAM) based on industrial waste. The system is compared to a counterpart one comprising conventional cementitious materials. The relative position of the strengthening and the thermal insulation layers is yet another parameter of this study. The latter includes tests performed on retrofitted masonry specimens aiming to assess their mechanical performance in terms of masonry-to-overlay bond and flexural capacity. This is achieved by shear bond tests, and in-plane and out-of-plane bending tests, respectively. The results show that the replacement of cementitious binders by alkali-activated ones in TRM jackets is a promising alternative, eliminating cement consumption while ensuring comparable load bearing capacities with ‘conventional’ TRM systems. It is also indicated that the effectiveness of the AAM-based system is improved when the strengthening layer is applied externally, i.e., on top of the insulating boards. However, further research is needed for the optimization of the system’s mechanical and long-term performance.
Trend analysis and learning-based groundwater level modelling over a tropical river basin
Authors: A. Keerthana , Nair Archana
Published: December 2024

Groundwater trend analysis and modelling is challenging due to partially explicable factors and unexplained human influence. The Hurst index, sequential Mann–Kendall, and classical Mann–Kendall test offer a comprehensive groundwater trend analysis. A learning-based approach is developed to model groundwater levels using climatological variables of rainfall and temperature. Twenty-four locations were considered over Periyar river basin of Kerala, India, for the years 1996–2019, and during January, April, August, and November (JAAN) months. Significant trends were observed at 14 locations in at least one of the JAAN months, which is about 58%. Of these, eight locations exhibited positive trend, signalling a decline in groundwater supplies. The developed model yielded notable improvements in precision with 50%, 79%, 75%, and 83% of the locations in month-wise order. To gauge the model performance, observed and predicted location clusters obtained using k-means clustering are juxtaposed for the years 2017–2019, on both individual and average basis. This assessment indicated only one well transitioning in August, with the average approach resulting in a closer match to the original clustering for most of the wells. These findings will benefit future stakeholders and policymakers in optimising resource management strategies over the basin and wider.

Published: December 2024

The surge in construction expenditures on the one hand and environmental pollution on the other hand have led to the suggestion of native structures in accordance, which is common in advanced countries. In this research, the meta-heuristic method is used to select the optimal design based on the objective functions determined in four structural frames in the study area of Tabriz metropolis. The target functions in this research include the parameters of cost and construction time, CO2 emitted due to the production of materials and the weight of the structure, which was considered based on the type of performance and the effect of each of these functions in the studied frames. As a result, the minimum and maximum construction time is 20.95% and 30.19%, respectively, of the total construction time of all structures related to Intermediate Steel Moment-Resisting Frame and Intermediate Reinforced Concrete Moment-Resisting Frame, as well as Intermediate Steel Moment-Resisting Frame with Special Concentrically Braced Frame with a value of 20/36% The lowest amount of CO2 emission caused by the production of materials among the studied frames was allocated to it. It was determined based on the target functions and introduced as a green and environmentally friendly structure.

Authors: Windapo Abimbola , Matshidze Lindelani , Alade Kehinde
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the prospects for artisan development in South Africa’s Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Despite the vital economic contributions of this industry, attracting new entrants, aiding their transition into the workforce, and retaining skilled artisans remain significant challenges. The research focuses on strategies for addressing these issues, specifically within the context of South Africa’s Institute for National Development of Learnerships, Employment Skills, and Labour Assessments. A critical literature review and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders revealed insights into existing policy implementation, the quality and relevance of training programmes, and the recognition of artisans’ prior learning. The research findings underscore the urgent need for robust and inclusive skills development strategies, recognizing prior learning as a key intervention and improved advocacy for artisan professions. Establishing clear targets, enhancing digitization processes, and strengthening institutional roles are vital steps towards addressing artisans’ skill shortages in South Africa’s AEC industry.
Charles Wesley and Archaic Symbolism
Authors: Watson Pauline
Published: December 2024

This essay takes a new and different look at why Charles Wesley’s hymns are felt to be so helpful to us in our human predicament. Why do they so effectively stimulate our religious imagination, expand our spiritual awareness, and enable our spiritual and emotional growth? Most
previous study of why this is the case has been concerned with Wesley’s facility with language, his use of words and figures of speech, which was often idiosyncratic; and with his ability to convey complicated theological concepts in poetry. The words could then be set to music and sung
in a doxological setting of praise and prayer. Because of this poetic and doxological setting, those who sing his hymns often respond powerfully, not only on a cognitive level but in some way which is beyond the cognitive. This essay suggests that, in addition to the music and the worship
setting, this relates to some extent to Wesley’s treatment of Christian symbolism; and in order to extend our understanding of how this might happen, it uses psychoanalytic theory to examine the processes involved.
Tanpınar’ın Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü Romanında Arafın Yansıması İki Karakter
Authors: Yavuzer Mehmet Şahin
Published: December 2024

Tanpınar’ın sıra dışı kurgusunun ürünü olan Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü eserinde, karakterlerin titizlikle işlendiği görülür. Romanın başkarakteri olan Hayri İrdal’in yanında kurguyu şekillendiren diğer iki karakter ise Halit Ayarcı ve Muvakkit Nuri Efendi’dir. Muvakkit Nuri Efendi, bilgeliği, mesleki ahlâkı, iyilikseverliğiyle ön plana çıkar. Buna karşılık, kendi kişisel hırs ve ihtirasları uğruna her türlü senaryoyu kurup profesyonel bir şekilde insanları bu senaryonun içine dâhil eden Halit Ayarcı, Türkiye’nin yüzünü Batı’ya dönmesi neticesinde gelişen değişim ve Batı’ya benzeme düşüncesini temsil etmektedir. Ancak Batı’ya benzeme düşüncesinde dış görünüş ve taklitten öteye gitmeyen bir çevre üzerine ciddi bir ironi esere yansır. Teknik ve ekonomik gücü elinde tutan Batı, romanda Osmanlının son dönemlerinde cereyan eden olaylarda toplum tarafından hayranlıkla takip edilir. Onlar gibi olma ve onlar gibi yaşama ideali birçok kesimin hayali haline gelir. Bu algı ve modernizmin getirdiği bazı yenilikler kimi kesimler tarafından fırsata dönüştürülür. Fırsatın tarafı Halit Ayarcı karakteriyle okura yansır. Buna karşılık fırsatçılık yapmayan, tek derdi zamanın somut bir hale dönüştürülerek insanın hizmetine sunulması amacını güden Muvakkit Nuri Efendi ise Doğu’nun bilge yönünü temsil eder. Halit Ayarcı üzerinden o dönemin devlet erkânında ve zengin muhitte bir karşılığı olan şahısların devletin imkânlarını kendi şahsi çıkarları için nasıl heba ettiği mesajı verilir. Halit Ayarcı, romanda hırslı lider imajını, vitrinde bulunma ve göz alıcılığı, bağsızlığı, modern çağın getirdiği güç arayışını temsil eden anti-hümanist, kapitalist bir prototipi temsil etmektedir. Muvakkit Nuri Efendi ise tevazunun, iyiliğin, ihtirassızlığın, merhametin sembolüdür. Bilge bir Müslüman imajı verilmektedir. Bu çalışma, Tanpınar’ın Doğu-Batı çatışması üzerine şekillenen Türk toplumunun arafta kalma durumunu yansıtır. Muvakkit Nuri Efendi ve Halit Ayarcı üzerinden gelenek ve modernizme Tanpınar somut bir bakış sunar.

Visual Storytelling and Historical Memory. A Review of Graphic Memories of the Civil Rights Movement: Reframing History in Comics
Authors: Ebesu Duane
Published: December 2024

This review explores Jorge Santos’ Graphic Memories of the Civil Rights Movement (University of Texas Press, 2019), which analyzes how graphic novels reframe cultural memory of the civil rights movement through visual storytelling. Santos critiques “consensus memory” for oversimplifying the movement, highlighting how comics offer counter-memory by presenting history as contested and multifaceted. The review delves into key examples, including March and Stuck Rubber Baby, emphasizing the role of visual media in disrupting linear narratives. Santos’ interdisciplinary approach enriches both comics and memory studies, urging readers to engage with diverse, ongoing struggles for social justice.

Published: December 2024

Amaç: Erken evre meme kanserinde (MK) primer ve adjuvan tedavilerdeki gelişmelere rağmen hala birçok hastada uzak metastaz gelişmektedir. Özellikle son on yılda metastatik meme kanseri (MMK) tedavisinde kaydedilen önemli gelişmelere rağmen tam kür sağlanamayan bir hastalık olmaya devam etmektedir. Çalışmamızda metastatik meme kanserli hastalarda birinci basamak tedavi sonuçlarının değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza 263 metastatik meme kanseri hastası dâhil edildi. Hasta verileri retrospektif olarak analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Medyan takip süresi 48.3 ay (interquartile range-IQR: 26.5-79.3) olup; 126 (%47.9) hastada de novo metastaz, 137 (%52.1) hastada ise takipte metastaz saptandı. Birinci basamak tedavi sonrası; 39 (%14.8) hastada tam yanıt, 150 (%57) hastada parsiyel yanıt, 6 (%2.3) hastada stabil hastalık ve 35 (%13.3) hastada ise progresif hastalık şeklinde sonuçlandı. Hormon reseptör (HR) ve insan epidermal büyüme faktörü (HER2) durumuna göre hasta moleküler grupları arasında birinci basamak tedavi sonrası progresyonsuz sağ kalım (PFS1) ve genel sağ kalım (OS) sürelerinde anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır ancak HER2 (+) olan gruplarda literatüre kıyasla daha uzun OS süreleri (HR- HER2+ grupta 108 ay) saptandı. Birinci basamakta uygulanan tedavi kategorilerine göre hasta grupları arasında anlamlı bir PFS1 farkı saptanmıştır (p=0.01). PFS1’de en uzun süre kemoterapi ile başlanıp hormonoterapi ile devam edilen grupta (17.8 ay), en kısa süre ise sadece kemoterapi alan grupta saptandı (4.2 ay). Birinci basamak tedavi kategorilerine göre gruplar arasında medyan OS’ de anlamlı fark saptandı (p=0.025). HR+ HER2- olgularda CDK4/6 inhibitörü temelli tedavide diğer tedavilere gör daha OS elde edilmiştir. Birinci basamak CDK4/6 inhibitörü temelli hormonoterapi alanlarda medyan OS’ ye ulaşılamadı.
Sonuç: Hasta moleküler grupları arasında genel sağ kalım ve progresyonsuz sağ kalım farkı saptanmazken, literatür ile kıyaslandığında HR-HER2+ grupta genel sağ kalım süresi daha uzun, diğerlerinde benzerdi. CDK4/6 inhibitörü alanlarda medyan OS’ye ulaşılamamıştır. Birinci basamak tedavilere göre hasta gruplarında PFS1 süreleri literatüre benzer bulunmuştur.

Published: December 2024

Amaç: Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar açısından metabolik sendrom ve subklinik tiroid hastalıkları risk oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmamızda subklinik tiroid hastalıkları ile metabolik sendrom parametreleri arasındaki ilişkileri ve bu hastalarda metabolik sendrom sıklığını incelemeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 23 ile 82 yaşları arasında, 59 kadın ve 38 erkek, toplam 97 hastayı çalışmamıza aldık. Hastaları tiroid fonksiyon testlerine göre subklinik hipotiroidi (n=29), subklinik hipertiroidi (n=37) ve ötiroid (n=31) olmak üzere 3 gruba ayırdık ve her grubu National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Tratment Panel III (ATP III) kriterlerine göre metabolik sendrom parametreleri ve varlığı açısından inceledik. Ayrıca insülin düzeyleri, insülin direnci (Homeostatic model assesment-HOMA), sedimentasyon hızı ve C-reaktif protein (CRP) düzeyleri de karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Metabolik sendrom bulguları subklinik hipotiroidi, subklinik hipertiroidi ve ötiroid hasta gruplarında benzer olmakla beraber, çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların tümünde metabolik sendrom sıklığını %57 olarak bulduk. Metabolik sendrom parametrelerinden yalnızca high density lipoprotein (HDL) düşüklüğü subklinik tiroid hastalarında kontrol grubuna göre daha fazla idi (38 mg/dL ye karşın 44 mg/dL, p=0.044). Metabolik sendrom kadınlarda ve ileri yaşta daha sık olma eğiliminde idi. Subklinik hipotiroidili hastalarda abdominal obezite ve HDL düşüklüğü, subklinik hipertiroidili hastalarda HDL düşüklüğü, ötiroid kontrol grubunda ise abdominal obezite en sık rastlanan metabolik sendrom parametreleriydi.
Sonuç: Subklinik tiroid hastalarında metabolik sendrom sıklığında artış tespit etmedik; ancak hem metabolik sendrom hem de subklinik tiroid hastalıkları kardiyovasküler hastalıklar açısından risk oluşturduğundan, subklinik tiroid hastalığı olan hastalarda kardiyovasküler hastalıkların tedavisinin gerekliliğine karar verebilmek için tiroid stimülan hormon (TSH) düzeyleri ve metabolik sendrom parametreleri açısından tarama yapılması gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
Investigation of the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death Using Heart Rate Variation in Migraineurs
Authors: Çevik Güneri Şeyda , Güneri Mehmet Celalettin , Aydın Gülay
Published: December 2024

Objective: Migraine is an episodic syndrome that results from dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system and consists of various clinical features. The aim of our study is to evaluate the risk of sudden cardiac death and autonomic dysfunction in patients with migraine by heart rate turbulence (HRT) and heart rate variability (HRV). In addition, it is aimed to inform patients about their cardiovascular risks.
Material and Method: A total of 77 individuals, 35 of whom were chronic migraine sufferers and 42 healthy individuals, who were followed up by the neurology clinic over the age of 18 and under the age of 70, were included in this study. A 24-hour holter recording was made for all participants. Heart rate variability and heart rate turbulence parameters were calculated using European Society of Cardiology studies.
Findings: A significant difference was found between the migraine and control groups in terms of Tonset measurements (p=0.004). There was no statistically significant difference in terms of other variables.
Conclusion: Our findings showed that Tonset, one of the heart rate turbulence parameters, was associated with autonomic function in patients with migraine, whereas heart rate variability parameters were not associated with autonomic dysfunction in patients with migraine.
Studies of the Identification Control System of an Overhead Crane on its Layout
Authors: Kruglov S. P. , Kovyrshin S. V. , Kodenev K. F.
Published: December 2024

The construction of a control system for a bridge crane operating in conditions of current parametric uncertainty and the impact of external disturbances, in particular, the impact of wind, is considered. The proposed control system is based on a scheme with an algorithm for current parametric identification, assigned an implicit reference model, which expresses requirements for the behavior of the carried load, with formation of a given speed of movement of the bridge crane trolley. The latter corresponds to the use of servo drives on modern cranes, in particular, based on asynchronous electric motors. The peculiarity of the proposed control system is that the sensor determining the coordinates of the cargo suspension movement is a combined sensor, which includes an angular velocity sensor and an accelerometer, and is located on the suspension next to the crane trolley. Described is a wall-mounted uniaxial model of a bridge crane created in laboratory conditions to study the proposed control method. Its control system comprises an asynchronous motor with an encoder controlled from a frequency converter and a programmable logic controller, which correspond to equipment of real crane control systems. The results of the study of the proposed control system in comparison with conventional manual control are presented. Investigations include movement to target point of two-variant load and empty suspension with two suspension lengths. The studies were carried out for vector control of a closed-loop electric motor and open-loop vector control without using an encoder.
ECONOMIC FACTOR IN DIARY DISCOURSE: THE TRIGGER OF TEXT FORMATION AND ITS CONTRADICTIONS (DIARY RECORDS OF YEVHEN CHIKALENKO 1925–1929)
Authors:   O.O. Potebnya Institute of Linguistics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, RADZIIEVSKA Tetiana
Published: December 2024

The paper deals with the pragmalinguistic analysis of the diary records of Yevhen Chikalenko, a famous figure of the Ukrainian culture. They reflect his activities during his emigration to Czechoslovakia in the 20s of 20th century. Ye. Chikalenko’s diary is characterized by a number of non-standartized features and should be considered a special case within the framework of diary discourse. The analysis is carried out using the methods developed in previous publications of the author, in particular, such tools as the role model of the text formation subject. The main purpose of the study is to reveal the mechanism by which contradictions arise in the process of text formation. So, the paper includes: 1) a description of the features of diary keeping and atypical strategies for creating a separate record; 2) discussion of the conceptualization’s role in diary keeping suggested by the writer himself; 3) analysis of verbal representation of pragmatic roles of the diary text formation subject in these records (based on the role model). The analysis showed that the process of text formation in this case is accompanied by the emergence of contradictions between the intimate nature of the diary as a text type developed by culture, and the public nature of the information, between auto-addressing and addressing to another. The source of these contradictions was the purpose of keeping records formulated by the writer himself (collecting data for “the history of our revival”). At the same time, the trigger for diary keeping was the economic factor: text creation in this case was considered by the diarist as profit-generating and an object for sale. In addition, the economic factor influenced the subject matter of the recordings, in which a significant place belongs to the statements on the poor financial situation of the diarist, which reflect the autocommunicative component of this diary activity.
STUDY OF PUBLISHING TERMINOLOGY IN UKRAINIAN LINGUISTICS
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lviv, Ukraine, SOTNYK Roman
Published: December 2024

At the current stage of scientific development, we observe the syncretism of scientific fields, their interference, interconnection, crossing-over of various terminologies and formation of new trends. A vivid example of this phenomenon can be found in the field of bibliography and publishing. Originating in the 14th century as a printing branch, it grew into a number of interrelated and complementary professional disciplines in the 21st century, having attracted the attention of not only specialists in the field, but also philologists. Therefore, we have performed our research into these studies, setting the goal to trace gradual expansion of the publishing sphere, its coverage in the scholars’ works, to show their achievements, the expansion and narrowing of some research approaches, the appearance of new terms, the change of oncepts and their replacement by new names. This is closely related to methodology, i.e. the study regulating thinking intended to create a theory of science, the doctrine of the scientific method of knowledge and transformation of the world. According to the rules of scholarly studies, the research into precedent papers must be covered, but a detailed description precisely from the standpoint of the novelty and the specificity of the terminological apparatus of each sub-field has not been outlined by the scholars yet. This is precisely what we consider to be the specificity and novelty of the proposed publication. It may be stated that bibliography, publishing, publishing business, journalism, editing, IT technologies, etc. are closely interconnected, they interact and complement each other.
The Category of Gender in the English, Tatar and Russian languages: a Comparative Aspect
Authors: Gafiullina K.N.
Published: December 2024

The relevance of this study is conditioned by the fact that the study of languages in the comparative aspect contributes to the identification of common and specific features of linguistic material, the description of the national picture of the world, cognitive thinking, linguocultural features of native speakers, interaction and mutual enrichment of languages, the solution of linguistic and linguodidactic tasks, which is part of the modern system of linguistic research. The category of gender, being one of the most complex and universal grammatical characteristics, is a subject of close attention of linguists. The importance of its study is conditioned by the need for a deeper and more comprehensive analysis of the grammatical and lexical-semantic potential of this category in languages with different structures. In modern linguistics, research in this area focuses on cognitive, gender and functional aspects of the category of gender. This study aims to examine the category of gender from the point of view of its grammatical and lexical-semantic realization in differently structured English, Tatar and Russian languages. This paper considers the formation of gender category of some nouns, reflects the system of morphological, syntactic and lexical features of feminine, masculine and middle genders in the languages under consideration. The article gives the specificity of representation of this category by lexical and grammatical means of languages, analyses morphological and semantic ways of nouns' relation to grammatical gender. In the paper a comparative analysis is carried out, the general and specific features of this category are determined on the basis of the languages under study. The results of the analysis can be used in further linguistic research, as well as in teaching a foreign language with reference to the native and/or previously learnt foreign language.

The concepts of "dysphemism" and "euphemistic dysphemism", the peculiarities of their use in oral speech, the connection with profanity are studied. Based on the personal experience and research, some words and expressions of the English language related to euphemistic dysphemisms are presented and contextually analyzed.
Language Representation of Urban Emotions
Authors: Shteba A.A.
Published: December 2024

The article examines one of the aspects of fuzzy emotivity — discursive emotivity. Fuzzy emotivity is an attempt to systematize those cases of communicative realization of emotivity that do not lend themselves to the three-part classification of emotives into affectives, connotatives and potentiatives. Discursivity is one of the obligatory characteristics of emotivity, since the evaluative sign and the semantic component of a word directly depends on the context, the communicative situation of actualization, horizontal and vertical "neighborhood" with other semiotic formations. Recently, the problems of urban or urban discourse have attracted the active attention of researchers, while the aspect of urban emotions or the emotions of the city has not become the subject of separate research. The choice of the research material (multimodal texts of advertising campaigns) made it possible to identify the key characteristics of the image of desired urban emotions, which contradicts the available sociolinguistic research on the emotional tonality of life in the city. The campaigns of suburban cottage settlements were also considered, in which the "secret" side of life in the city is objectified, problematic points of urban life are revealed. It is shown that urban emotions can be real and simulated when objective reality is replaced by emotive simulacra that affect the emotional sphere, i.e. have a manipulative effect on the recipient.
Library of Russian Artists in Rome

Published: December 2024

The article highlights the history of the library of Russian artists in Rome, which N.V. Gogol took part in the creation. The fate of the Roman library of the writer remains unknown to this day. Gogol's books (which belonged to him or those that he could hold in his hands during his stay in Italy), apparently, may be in the private library of A.A. Ivanov in Rome, now owned by relatives of the artist; or in the collections of the Central Scientific Library in Rome, which received the former library of Russian artists — Roman boarders.
Image of Heavenly Jerusalem in the «Ladder» of John Climacus
Authors: Popova T.G.
Published: December 2024

The article contains a linguistic analysis of the lexemes Ἱερουσαλήμ, παράδεισος and ἄνω, representing the image of the Heavenly Jerusalem. The material for the analysis is the text of the first Slavic translation of the “Ladder” of John Climacus, preserved in the oldest Russian manuscript of the monument. The author's ideas about the ideal city — the ultimate goal of every Christian — are revealed. It is noted that this image determined the development of the iconographic scheme "Vision of the Ladder by St. John Climacus". Cases of atypical translations, scribe's errors and readings characterizing the supposed Byzantine original of the Preslav translation of the “Ladder” are indicated. Attention is focused on the skill of the author of the first Slavic translation of the Ladder and the inexperience of the scribe of the first surviving manuscript of this translation, which confirms the validity of the linguotextological method of L.P. Zhukovskaya, the essence of which lies in the need to involve in the analysis the maximum possible number of sources. Lexemes were discovered that were not recorded in the dictionaries of the ancient Greek language (2) and in the dictionaries of the Old Church Slavonic and Old Russian languages (4).
Family Narrative in the Illustrated Chronicle of Ivan the Terrible
Authors: Stepanova M.S.
Published: December 2024

This article aims to examine the family narrative in the Illustrated Chronicle of Ivan the Terrible. The study has enabled us to point out the following key topics in the context of family narrative: the marriage, the birth of children, the second marriage. The results allow us to say that the family representation in the chronicle corresponds with a Christian notion of marriage, i.e. the family is represented as a union of a man and a woman in which a man is the head of the family and a woman is mother of a multi-child family standing behind her husband. Procreation is one of the key goals of marriage and a great joy. The chronicle touches upon the issue of the second marriage of Russian rulers, and the second marriage conforms with the traditions of the time and the Church rules.

Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Coo Byung-Mo
Published: December 2024

In the Road-map, which made ESG information disclosure mandatory announced by the Korean government in January 2021, environmental and social information will be applied to KOSPI-listed companies with assets of 2 trillion won or more from 2026 and expanded to all KOSPI-listed companies by 2030.
This paper analyzed the courier industry, which is a representative industry in the Last-mile service market that constitutes the closest relationship with ESG, by PESTLE methodology.
As a result of the analysis, in terms of P/L, four technologies were derived: the development of the daily logistics service industry, the increase in the number of delivery vehicles, how to permit the freight transport business for delivery, and the day on which delivery is off. In terms of E/S, the ratio of single-person households, the number of single-person households, and dual-income couples. In terms of domestic technology of T, the smart logistics center certification system, the delivery HUB terminal-centered AMR, and AGV technology. In terms of global technology, four technologies, including Algoriths and analytics, Delivery drone, Delivery robot, Driverless/Autonomous cars, and O2O sharing economy business model, a special law on the improvement of the air environment in the air management area, and a half-price delivery of convenience stores were derived from the E side.
The derived issues and required technology were divided into the hardware part, the parcel supply chain, and the software part, the ESG part, and the implications for ESG’s EㆍSㆍG were presented together with the picture.
Hasta – Hekim İlişkisine Hukuksal Bir Bakış
Authors: Turla Ahmet , Aydın Berna
Published: December 2024

Türk hukukunda bugün için hekimlerin yetkilerini ve sorumluluklarını düzenleyen özel bir yasal düzenleme bulunmamaktadır. Özel hukuk ya da ticaret hukukunda yer alan maddelerin hiçbiri hasta-hekim ilişkisini tam olarak karşılamamaktadır. Yargıtay hasta-hekim ilişkisini genellikle “vekalet ilişkisi” olarak nitelendirmektedir. Her zaman “vekalet ilişkisi” niteliğinde olmayan bu ilişki, birçok faktöre göre de değişiklik gösterebilmektedir. Hekimlik uygulamaları vekalet ilişkisi dışında, “vekaletsiz iş görme”, “eser sözleşmesi” veya “haksız fiil” kapsamına da girebilmektedir. Ayrıca hastanın sağlık kuruluşu ile olan ilişkisi, sağlık kuruluşunun özel ya da kamuya ait olması, hastane kabul sözleşmesinin tam ya da bölünmüş sözleşme niteliğinde olup olmaması uygulanacak yasal prosedürü etkilemektedir. Hekim-hasta ilişkisini “sözleşme” ilişkisi şeklinde gören hukuksal düzenlemeler, içeriğinde yer alan farklı sözleşme türleri ve sözleşmesel ilişkinin hasta-hekim ilişkisi ile birebir örtüşmemesi nedeniyle kendi içerisinde de faklı uygulamaların doğmasına yol açmaktadır. Sağlık hukuku alanındaki bu yetersizlik hekim-hasta arasındaki sorunların çözümünde hekimlerin yanı sıra hukukçuları da zora sokmaktadır. Bu derleme yazıda; hasta-hekim, hasta-hastane ilişkisine hukuksal yorumlar ışığında bakılarak, hekimlerin mesleki uygulamalarının güncel hukuki metinlerde nasıl göründüğünün anlatılması amaçlanmıştır.

Structures of all samples were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HMBC, HSQC, and HRMS. All synthesized derivatives were tested for cytotoxic activity on KB cell line. The results indicated moderate activity with an IC50 range of 18 – 52 µg/mL. Among them, compound T4a exhibited the highest activity.
APPLICATION OF SPECTROSCOPIC METHODS FOR THE AUTHENTICATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS OF VIETNAM: A STUDY OF ST25 RICE
Authors: Quynh Hoa Nguyen , Thu Thuy Bui , Thi Mai Hương To
Published: December 2024

Food fraud, particularly in staple commodities like rice, poses significant risks to trademark protection as well as economic challenges. In this study, we explored the efficacy of Raman spectroscopy in differentiating authentic ST25 rice—a premium variety of Vietnam from other rice types, amidst concerns of adulteration. By utilizing both backscattering and transmission Raman spectroscopy, a total of 125 rice samples consisting of both commercial rice and Vietnamese landrace rice varieties were analyzed. All samples were categorized into two main groups namely ST25 and Non-ST25 for the construction of the classification model. Through principal component analysis (PCA) and k-nearest neighbors (kNN) classification method, we achieved classification accuracies of 81.58% for backscattering data and up to 97.37% for transmission data at elevated temperatures. Our findings highlight the efficacy of Raman spectroscopy for rice authenticity verification, nevertheless, modification in spectral measurement schemes is necessary to obtain better method reproducibility as well as to maintain high discriminatory accuracy of the classification model.
EVALUATION OF TRENDS IN THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF STUDENTS AT THANH THUY SECONDARY SCHOOL, HANOI: A THREE-YEAR CONSECUTIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: Thi Hong Hanh Nguyen , Kim Anh Nguyen
Published: December 2024

This study aims to assess the changes in nutritional status among students aged 11 to 14 at Thanh Thuy Secondary School, Hanoi, over three consecutive years (2021 to 2023). The study involved a total of 606 students in 2021, 638 in 2022, and 694 in 2023. Nutritional status was evaluated based on WHO 2007 guidelines using the WHO AnthroPlus software. Results showed a statistically significant decline in median height from 152 cm in 2021 to 150 cm in 2022 and 2023 (P = 0.036), indicating a decrease in physical stature. The percentage of students with normal nutritional status decreased from 75.4% in 2021 to 69.2% in 2023. Concurrently, moderate thinness increased from 9.6% to 13.3%, and severe thinness rose from 1.5% to 3.2%. Overweight prevalence remained stable at around 11%, while obesity slightly increased from 2.1% to 2.7%. The overall prevalence of malnutrition significantly increased from 24.6% in 2021 to 33% in 2023 (P < 0.05), primarily due to a significant rise in undernutrition, which rose from 11.1% in 2021 to 17.6% in 2023 (P < 0.05). For 11-year-olds, overweight prevalence significantly decreased (P < 0.001), while moderate thinness significantly increased (P = 0.037). Among 12- and 13-year-olds, significant increases in moderate thinness and overweight were observed. These findings underscore the growing issue of the double burden of malnutrition and highlight the need for targeted nutritional interventions among school-aged children.

Published: December 2024

The Red River Delta (RRD) is one of the regions most significantly impacted by climate change (CC) in Vietnam. This study utilizes correlation assessment methods and regression equations to evaluate the trends of certain meteorological factors and extreme weather events during the period 1961 - 2020 in the RRD. Overall, climate factors across the region exhibit quite clear trends of change. The highest trends in annual average temperature and maximum annual average temperature are observed in the northwestern part of the RRD, especially in major cities such as Ha Noi (the increase in mean annual temperature ranges from 0.0317 - 0.0336 ºC/year). The lowest trends in these temperatures are found in coastal, island, and mountainous areas (the increase in mean annual temperature ranges from 0.0133 - 0.0224 ºC/year). The annual rainfall reports a decreasing trend at 17 out of 23 meteorological stations in the RRD, varying from -11 to 9 mm/year. Extreme weather phenomena report little significant change, with maximum daily rainfall records a decreasing trend, varying from -3.119 to 1.395 mm/year; the number of days with rainfall exceeding 50 mm also reports a decrease, varying from -0.058 to 0.017 days/year. The results of this study will serve as a basis for developing action plans to respond to CC in the RRD.

Authors: Thi Thu Hien Nguyen , Thi Hang Vu
Published: December 2024

This article presents the frequency and trends of meteorological drought in Thai Binh province for the period 1991-2021 and forecasts drought trends for the period 2025-2065 based on climate change scenarios. The PED drought index is calculated using the corresponding daily temperature and rainfall data for each of these periods. The results indicate that meteorological drought in Thai Binh can occur in both the dry and rainy seasons. During the period from 1991 to 2021, medium drought occurred in the dry season nearly once every ten years. Drought occurrences in both the rainy and dry seasons show an increasing trend in intensity and the number of drought months. In the future, during the period from 2025 to 2065, dry season drought will fluctuate less under the RCP4.5 scenario but will sharply increase in frequency and intensity under the RCP8.5 scenario. In the rainy season, drought is projected to increase in both scenarios. The number of drought months is relatively high and will rise significantly in both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. A notable aspect of this study is the analysis of meteorological drought trends for the period 2025-2065, based on climate change scenarios.
