Study Objective: To identify the role of estrogen (ESR1) and progesterone (PRG) receptor genes in benign mammary dysplasia (BMD) in women of reproductive age with endometrial hyperplasia (EH). Study Design: prospective controlled cohort study. Materials and Methods. We examined 105 women aged 18 to 49 years old who were divided into three groups: group I — 36 BMD patients; group II — 27 women with EH without atypia; and group III — 42 BMD patients with EH without atypia. Patients with mammary disorders were divided into subgroups of diffuse and nodal BMD. We studied polymorphism of estrogen (ESR1) and progesterone (PRG) receptor genes and the ratio of their isoforms in blood serum. ESR1 and PRG gene polymorphism was analysed using polymerase chain reaction with fluorescent genotyping detection with TaqMan probes. Study Results. In PvuII C/T polymorphism of ESR1 gene there were significant differences between women with diffuse and nodal BMD in СС allele (p = 0.014), but not between study groups. Analysis of the rate of Xbal A/G alleles of ESR1 gene revealed significant differences between group I and group III in GG allele (p = 0.015), while there were no differences between women with diffuse and nodal BMD. The rate of polymorphism in Val660Leu and +331G/A alleles of PRG gene was not statistically significant in study groups; also, there were no statistically significant differences in diffuse and nodal BMD. Conclusion. Combined hyperplastic processes in endometrium and mammary glands depend on the specificity in the polymorphism system of estrogen and progesteron receptor genes. Associations between various combinations of susceptibility genes demonstrate the presence of specificity for each clinical and pathogenic variant of BMD (diffuse or local forms). Keywords: benign mammary dysplasia; endometrium hyperplasia; estrogen receptors; progesterone receptors; ESR1, PRG gene polymorphism

Objective of the Review: To present current information on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of cervical conditions associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), and of associated immunodysfunctions, based on the analysis of data from Pubmed, Google Scholar, Embase search systems. Key Points. Clinical manifestations of HPV include neoplastic processes in cervix, vulva, vagina, and rectum. The primary management of HPV-associated cervical disorders is surgical resection of affected tissue; however, the approach is not always efficient, since where surgical resection is used alone, the recurrence rate is 20–30%; the virus persists not only on treated areas, but also recorded de novo. Pathogenic peculiarities of HPV-associated conditions are a result of evolutionary aspects of developments and interactions in the “HPV — microorganism” system; they are dependent on antibacterial potential, activity of Toll-like receptors 4, 9, Th1/Th2 balance, the balance between cytokines expressed by Т-helper subpopulations and an immunocompetence shift towards Th2. Conclusion. Immunomax, an acidic plant peptidoglycane recognisable by Toll-like receptors of cells in charge of immune surveillance in the body, activates antiviral immunity in HPV infection. Keywords: human papillomavirus, immunity, neoplastic cervical processes, Toll-like receptors

An Enchantment of Digital Archaeology: Raising the Dead with Agent-Based Models, Archaeogaming and Artificial Intelligence
Authors:   Carleton University, Graham Shawn
Published: September 2021

The use of computation in archaeology is a kind of magic, a way of heightening the archaeological imagination. Agent-based modelling allows archaeologists to test the ‘just-so’ stories they tell about the past. It requires a formalization of the story so that it can be represented as a simulation; researchers are then able to explore the unintended consequences or emergent outcomes of stories about the past. Agent-based models are one end of a spectrum that, at the opposite side, ends with video games. This volume explores this spectrum in the context of Roman archaeology, addressing the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of a formalized approach to computation and archaeogaming.
US Economic Sanctions: A Controversial Foreign Policy Tool in International Politics
Authors: Irfan Nimra , Nawaz Madiha , Jamil Sobia
Published: September 2021

In this current century, the use of economic sanctions by the superpowers, particularly the US, has become regular and aggressive. The US imposes sanctions and economic embargoes on states and groups who do not follow US-designed standards regarding manufacturing weapons, nuclear technology and resolving international disputes. However, it has failed most of the time to alter behaviour of the sanctioned countries. Sanctions programs of Syria, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea are a few of the many examples which prove the failure of American sanctions. This qualitative research article examines the politics of the US behind its sanctions policy along with negative impacts on targeted countries. It also analyses Donald Trump's aggressive sanctions policy, which is said as record-breaking in American history of economic sanctions. The whole analysis explains targeted sanctions policy is controversial and ineffective. These sanctions kill civilians and restrict them from basic necessities like food, medicines, and employment. Additionally, in a globalized world, states do not get much affected by sanctions. If one market closes its door on a state, it starts looking for other trade partners.

Published: September 2021

The present study is conducted to see how an IPO event affects the existing firm's performance within the same industry. For this purpose, 88 IPO firms were examined from Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) from 1998-2016. IPO is examined from three major perspectives IPO proceeds, initial returns and time Lag between IPO listing date and IPO subscription. The study uses Buy and Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR) and Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CAR) to calculate competitor's abnormal returns. To calculate the operating performance of competitors, the Wilcoxon significance test was applied. IPO intra-industry effects are significant in the long run, whereas insignificant results are shown in the short run. In addition, IPO proceeds and abnormal returns are significant but negatively related to competitors' stock returns (long term). Moreover, Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI) finds IPO improves competitiveness in the industry environment. This present study is an important one from an emerging economy perspective.
The Modern State, the Politicization of Sufi Rituals, and the Local Religious Authority of Sufi Shrines: A Study of the Shrine of Baba Farid (Pakpattan-Punjab)
Authors: Mubeen Muhammad
Published: September 2021

The modern state that developed in the Indian subcontinent after the arrival of colonial power in the region had profound effects on the internal religious-spiritual matters of Sufi shrines. The Chishti Sufi shrine of Baba Farid, in Pakpattan, also heavily affected by the emergent state's policies in all respects. The state's intrusion into the ritualistic matters of the shrine has gradually reduced the traditional custodian of the shrine to a mere ceremonial head of the institution. The process of politicization of Sufi rituals started during the British Raj; the crucial interference in the ceremonies of the shrine came after the take-over of the management and the administration of the shrine of Baba Farid by the West Pakistan Auqaf authorities during the early 1960s. This study is intended to explore the emergence and development of the centuries-old ritualistic patterns of the shrine, the modern state's contrivances that affected them, and the resultant effects of the said evolution on the local religious authority of the traditional office bearers of the shrine.

Purpose: to study the effect of reaсtant treatment of livestock wastewater on the concentration and composition of gas emissions, their dispersion in atmosphere and the formation of a calculated sanitary protection zone. Materials and Methods. The experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions. Three flasks were studied: livestock wastewater (stage A), livestock wastewater pretreated with lime milk at a dose of 1.5 g/dm³ and a mixture of a suspension of phosphogypsum and orthophosphoric acid at a dose of 9.8 g/dm³ (stage B), and livestock effluents treated with burnt defecate with a dose of 0.1 g/dm³ (stage C). Results and Discussions. On the basis of the experimental results obtained, it can be concluded that after treatment with a fired defecate, a deodorization effect is observed, in particular, the concentration of pollutants decreases. For example, the concentration of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide decreased by an average of 75–80 %, and that of methyl mercaptans and sulfur dioxide by 80–90 %, which made it possible to reduce the estimated sanitary protection zone of the pig breeding farm by 2 times. Conclusions. Physicochemical preparation of livestock effluents (treatment with lime milk and a suspension of phosphogypsum, burnt defecate) and the installation of lateral exhausts at treatment facilities made it possible to reduce the sanitary protection zone of the pig-breeding farm from 3350 to 1600 m.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: development of layout and design schemes for low-flow water intakes, arranged on shallow river and stream watercourses for supplying water to drip irrigation systems. Agricultural development of terraces and floodplains of small foothill and mountain streams actualizes the development of facilities for water intake from them for the purpose of irrigating land. Morphological and hydrographic features, including shallow low-water depths, high flow rates, flow rates variability, saturation with sediments, the presence of underflow and overflow runoff, etc., make water intake from such watercourses difficult and specific. These circumstances predetermine the relevance of water intake structures development corresponding to the specified conditions. Materials and Methods. When developing the layout and design schemes of low-flow water intakes from shallow watercourses, the technologies of exploratory design of engineering systems and structures were used. Results. With regard to the morphometric, hydrological and other conditions of shallow foothill and mountain streams, a water intake with a bottom water intake was adopted for development. The water intake part of headworks is designed in the form of a toe drain, which has under-flow and overflow intake parts that allow water intake from the channel and off-channel water streams. The toe is made of two or three layers of sand and gravel material. Drainage pipes or pipe filters are used as a drainage element. Depending on the conditions of the watercourse, water intakes with transverse, longitudinal and pocket-coastal placement of water intakes are proposed. Conclusion. The layout and design schemes of filtering water intakes from shallow watercourses based on the use of overflow, underflow and combined structures of multilayer drainage water intakes with stream (transverse and longitudinal) and off-channel (pocket-coastal) placement have been proposed and developed.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: improving the method for protecting slopes from water erosion to increase the efficiency of the anti-erosion structure, taking into account modern requirements for ensuring ecological regulatory compliance in the field of preventing pollution of water bodies. Materials and Methods. The basis for improving the method of protecting slopes from water erosion with the help of hydraulic structures was the well-known and author's developments of individual elements and structures of anti-erosion facilities. When generalizing and comparing technical characteristics and principles of the structure operation, the methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis were used. Results. Analysis of various materials (scientific papers, publications, patents relating to the development of methods for protecting slopes from water erosion using hydraulic structures) showed their uniformity in terms of design and the need for revision and improvement in order to increase the operation efficiency and preventing the ingress of nutrients into the water body. Some disadvantages were identified: low efficiency on difficult slopes with different steepness and relief exposure due to the “imperfection” of the trench design, the temporality of the trench backfill action due to destruction, low efficiency due to the low water-holding capacity and rapid water delivery, lack of preliminary treatment of surface waters before their discharge into a water body. The direction of improving the method of erosion control is the development of a filter tile for plastic balls. Conclusions. An improved method for protecting slopes from water erosion involves creating a trench filled with inorganic filler, with a water-retaining earthwork and a water-retaining screen. The filler has the form of a ball with eight through holes diameter of <5 mm, located in pairs and coaxially (the balls are filled with a filter tile of agroperlite by 2/3 of the volume).

Published: September 2021

Purpose: to consider the possibility of using the cavitation method of disinfection of livestock effluents with the possibility of their applying immediately for fertilizing agricultural crops and obtaining liquid and solid phases of organic-mineral fertilizers. Discussions. The presented technological schemes for preparation of livestock effluents allow them to be used without adding chemical reagents and keeping quarantine in lagoons, as well as to obtain environmentally friendly fertilizers, which is promising for organic agriculture. The introduction of the cavitation method for processing livestock wastewater allowed Sistema LLC to get rid of the specific smell characteristic of pig farms, to reduce the cost of utilizing manure, since the cost of treatment 1 m³ of wastewater on a cavitation generator-disperser is about 7.5 rubles/m³. The introduction of cavitated manure runoff under cultivated crops ensured an increase in productivity, an increase in biomass and an increase in the quality of cultivated crops. Conclusions. Cavitation treatment allows livestock wastewater to be immediately applied to agricultural fields and makes it possible to build livestock complexes without settling lagoon-silt sumps, which reduces the negative impact on the environment. Cavitation is an efficient and energy-saving, environmentally friendly direction of manure disposal, allows organic agriculture based on environmental principles. The obtained organic-mineral fertilizers are not much inferior to industrial fertilizers in terms of yield and surpass them in quality. The cavitation treatment technologies of livestock wastewater will allow farms to produce organic products, which, due to an increase in demand for such products, will increase the level of sales both in Russia and in countries whose inhabitants are the main consumers of organic products.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: development of a layout-design solution for water intake from a surface water body, excluding the entry of harmful aquatic organisms into fish-breeding reservoirs. In accordance with modern ideas about water intakes that meet the requirements of fish protection and prevent the ingress of aquatic organisms into water supply system of fish-breeding complexes, filtering water intakes are the most effective. Materials and Methods. The water intakes structures development is based on the materials of the fish and water body surveys and the results of the analysis of developments in this area. Results. As part of water nutrition system of the fish-breeding complex, it is proposed to use a water intake with a two-chamber water inlet equipped with filtering panels and regulating screens. Filtering panels located at the head of each of the chambers ensure the retention of harmful, weed and predatory aquatic organisms, and the screens ensure the water inlet shutdown at replacing the filtering panels. Various modes of water inlet chambers operation are considered for intake of various water flows, replacement of filter cassettes and shutdown of water intake operation. It is proposed to use a filtering panel with impervious chambers, which make it possible to simplify the cleaning of its filler as a filtering element. Conclusions. A layout solution for a filtering water intake as part of water nutrition system of the fish-breeding complex has been proposed and developed. The design of a two-chamber water intake based on the use of filter panels and impervious screens, providing fish protection functions and preventing harmful, weed and predatory species of aquatic organisms from entering the water supply system is developed. A technology for water inlet functioning under various operating modes of the water intake has been developed. It is proposed to use a filtering panel with a simplified scheme for cleaning it from colmatation products as a water inlet element of the water intake.

Published: September 2021

Cruise shipping is the calling card of many countries. In view of the downturn in this cruise industry due to Covid-19, it is necessary to develop new models and decision-making methods to reach pre-crisis levels. One such tool is the analysis and subsequent modernization of the route networks of ferry and cruise lines. The study presents models applicable to the regions of the seas. The object of the research is the Baltic Sea region and the existing route cruise networks. The article provides a global analysis of the cruise industry, confirming the need for modernization and the search for new solutions. Simply restarting the route networks, based on the 2019 networks, is not enough today. To solve the problem, a graph model of route networks is given, a model of route network organization is given, taking into account various subnetworks. To expand the capabilities of sea ferry and cruise lines, a theoretical model is proposed that allows the passenger to switch from one route to another, thus providing more flexibility and variety than the classical route through a given system of ports. The presented models are supported by examples of development of sea passenger ports and terminals of St. Petersburg, sea ferry networks of the Baltic Sea. Further research questions are presented. The presented model allows expanding the possibilities of the region, making them more attractive for passengers.

From a story for adults to a fairy-tale for children: The case of f. M. Dostoevsky’s story “The beggar boy at christ’s christmas tree”
Authors:   Università degli studi di Milano, Vassena Raffaella
Published: September 2021

The article deals with some methodological, textual and critical-pedagogical issues related to the transformation of a story for adults into a fairy-tale for children. Dostoevsky’s story “The beggar boy at Christ’s Christmas tree” is a particularly significant example that allows to trace, on one hand, the attitude of Russian pedagogical criticism to the fantastic elements in the last quarter of 19 th century, and on the other, the variability of social forces affecting the entry of a work into children’s literary canon. The story was first published in January issue of Diary of a Writer (1876), and in the following year was included in the collection Thirty Best New Tales by V. P. Avenarius, and in 1882 in the collection Exemplary Russian Tales for Children. In the 1880s and 1890s, the story appeared in various children’s publications, provoking controversial reactions among pedagogical critics and in institutions responsible f

Published: September 2021

The article provides a brief overview of the most interesting illustrative cycles of brothers Grimm’ fairy tales, created by Russian artists in the XX and early XXI centuries, and examines different approaches to visual interpretation of German folklore. Although some successful graphic interpretations of Grimm’ subjects began to appear early in post-revolutionary years, for a number of reasons this valuable literary material long remained outside of attention sphere of the most significant artists of children’s books. The period of the second half of the 1970s-1980s became the happiest and most fruitful in the publishing fate of fairy tales, when such remarkable masters as N. I. Zeitlin, E. G. Monin, M. S. Mayofis, G. A. V. Traugot, N. G. Golts, B. A. Diodorov, etc. took up the illustration. The second part of the article compares graphic interpretations of the most famous fairy tales of brothers Grimm: “The pot of porridge”, “The gingerbread house”, “The Bremen town musicians”, “The brave little tailor”. The author traces how the interpretations of textbook subjects change and become more complex over time, and what artistic means prove their relevance.
Family bonds, humour and the redefinition of adulthood in The Adventures of Dzherik by Natal’ia Nusinova
Authors:   Independent researcher, Italy, Balistreri Bonsaver Caterina
Published: September 2021

This article investigates how Natal’ia Nusinova’s autobiographical tale about the Soviet period, The Adventures of Dzherik, establishes the reliability of the narrative voice by providing a source of moral guidance for its child readers, the author being an adult and an intellectual raised in intellectual family. The importance of this should be viewed within the context of post-Soviet culture, wherein came the crisis of intellectual world and that of adults as suitable care-providers. In Nusinova’s book family love functions as the centre of the production of meaning and is joined with late Soviet humour. All these fill in the voids of sense in Natasha’s (the author’s child self) experience of Soviet times, and make her invulnerable to the most traumatic aspects of Soviet society, of which she is nonetheless part. The narrative voice establishes her position as an adult able to guide a post-Soviet child at the end of a ritualistic plot of rebirth that unites the introduction, the single chapters and the final glossary together into a macrotext.

Published: September 2021

This article mainly deals with the history of the contemporary Polish poetry for children (end of XX century — beginning of XXI). The author shows how contemporary children’s poetry is linked with the traditional one (and also some folklore forms), characterizes the creative styles of several contemporary poets (J. Twardowski, Z. Beszczyńska, J. Kulmowa, W. Oszajca), and points out several breaks from the tradition. The author names two main streams in children’s contemporary poetry as “Lyric poetry” and “Playing with words”, and speaks in detail of their creative approaches and readers’ pragmatics. Especially interesting is the comparison of contemporary children’s poetry samples and the classical ones (Jan Brzechwa, Janina Porazińska, Maria Konopnicka, Ewa Szelburg-Zarembina, Julian Tuwim), and also linking with the tradition of religious and ritual poetry. The authors looks at contemporary poetry for children from diacena have taken place.

Authors:   University of Florence, Italy, Carioli Stefania
Published: September 2021

The review of “Le metamorfosi della fiaba” underlines the importance of concepts such as meta-history and metamorphism in the study of fairy tales. The collection of essays displays a variety of approaches, which allows the reader to tackle this issue from very different points of view. Particular attention is paid to the re-creation and re-mediation of fairy tales according to different narrative media, from oral story to musical theater, from cinema to picture books. The overall impression given by the book is that the metamorphoses of the fairy tale continue to confirm its significance even today and through a symbolic and figurative language reveals the variety of relationships between human beings in an intuitive and polysemantic way.

Published: September 2021

In this paper, we have investigated one of the basic topological properties, called Metrizability in multiset topological space. Metrizable spaces are those topological spaces which are homeomorphic to a metric space. So, we first give the notion of metric between two multi-points in a finite multiset and studied some significant properties of a multiset metric space. The notion of metrizability is then studied by using this metric. Besides, the Urysohn’s lemma which is considered to be one of the important tools in studying some metrization theorems in topology is also discussed in context with multisets.

Efficient High Performance Computing for Machine Learning has become a necessity in the past few years. Data is growing exponentially in domains like healthcare, government, economics and with the development of IoT, smartphones and gadgets. This big volume of data, needs a storage space which no traditional computing system can offer, and needs to be fed to Machine Learning algorithms so useful information can be extracted out of it. The larger the dataset that is fed to a Machine Learning algorithm the more precise the results will be, but also the time to compute those results will increase. Thus, the need for Efficient High Performance computing in the aid of faster and better Machine Learning algorithms. This paper aims to unveil how one benefits from another, what research has achieved so far and where is it heading.

Published: September 2021

Over time, multiple solutions have been sought for building 3D models in the fastest and most accurate way possible. For this reason, this article proposes the use of LAPACK library for a quick solution of linear systems generated by least square method calculation. A mathematical and physical component used in the reconstruction of models consists in the use of Spherical Harmonics which represent some special functions often used in solving partial differential equations in different scientific areas. This problem finds its place in multiple domains such as medicine, engineering, programming. The target of the work described by this paper is to achieve optimization in the reconstruction of 3D models. We aim to perform real-time model reconstruction for large data sets by using Spherical Harmonics functions.

In knowledge space theory (KST), knowledge structure is an effective feature to evaluate individuals’ knowledge and guide future learning. How to construct knowledge structures is one of the key research problems in KST. At present, the knowledge structure has been generalized to the polytomous knowledge structure. This article mainly focuses on the special polytomous knowledge structures delineated by skills, which are called fuzzy knowledge structures. We consider how to construct fuzzy knowledge structures based on the relationship between items and skills, and how to find the learning paths for specific knowledge domains. First, we construct knowledge structures in four models, which are the conjunctive model of skill maps, the disjunctive and conjunctive models of fuzzy skill maps, and the competency model of fuzzy skill multimaps. Second, we assess individuals’ skills and find the learning paths for the specific knowledge domains in the first three models. Finding the learning paths for a specific knowledge domain can guide learning and improve the learning efficiency of individuals. Finally, we analyze some data sets to show that the algorithms proposed are effective and applicable. These works can be applied to adaptive learning systems, which bring great convenience for assessing individuals’ knowledge and guiding future learning.

Заслуговує на увагу і той факт, що обговорюваний підручник – це не сукупність готових «рецептів», як подолати злочинність: він містить не тільки загальні підходи до розуміння проблем злочинності, а також практичні й тестові завдання, перелік питань до іспиту (заліку), список рекомендованої літератури. Усе це сприятиме поглибленому оволодінню студентами, курсантами і слухачами кримінологічними знаннями як під час семінарських та практичних занять, так і в ході самостійної роботи, яка в сучасному навчальному процесі має важливе значення під час вивчення курсу «Кримінологія». Підготовлений підручник із навчальної дисципліни «Кримінологія» відповідає чинним вимогам щодо такого виду робіт і буде корисним, зокрема, співробітникам правоохоронних органів для підвищення рівня їхніх знань у сфері запобігання окремим видам злочинів та може бути використаним у процесі перепідготовки й підвищення кваліфікації юридичних кадрів.

Üretici ile tüketicinin sanal bir platformda buluşmasının olanaklı hale gelmesiyle birlikte, sosyal medyanın işletmeler ve kurumlar tarafından tanıtım ve pazarlama amacıyla kullanımı da yaygınlaşmıştır. Turisti hem destinasyona hem de rekreatif faaliyetlerine çekmek için sosyal medyayı etkin bir şekilde kullanan işletmelerden biri de özel tekne turu işletmeleridir. Böylece, sosyal medyanın Fethiye’de tekne turu satışlarına etkisinin özel tur kaptanları bakış açısıyla ortaya konulması amaçlanan bu çalışmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinde sık kullanılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Görüşme formu 61 katılımcıya kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi ile uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler NVivo 10 programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, sosyal medya kullanımının özel tekne turları satışı açısından önemli olduğunu ve özellikle Facebook’un kaptanlar tarafından çoğunlukla kullanıldığını ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda sosyal medya ve özel tekne tur satışlarıyla ilgili diğer sonuçlara da yer verilmiş olup konuyla ilgili literatüre ve uygulamaya yönelik öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Teknolojik gelişmeler doğrultusunda yeni bir mekân türü olarak ortaya çıkan sanal mekân, birçok bilim dalının olduğu gibi coğrafyanın da çalışma alanlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Bir mekân bilimi olan coğrafya, sanal mekânı aktif olarak kullanma içeriğine sahip bir bilim dalıdır. Kültürel coğrafya çalışmalarında özellikle somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirasın yaşatılması ve aktarılması konusunda zengin bir konu potansiyeline sahip bulunmaktadır. Sanal mekânda son yıllarda fazlaca kullanılmaya başlanan en yeni teknolojilerden biri olan artırılmış gerçeklik teknolojisi ise gerçek dünya ortamları üzerine sanal nesnelerin giydirilmesi ile elde edilerek oluşturulan bir sistemdir. Bu sistem ile katılımcılar, zaman ve mekân sınırlaması olmaksızın istedikleri mekâna ve zamana seyahat ederek eğlenceli bir şekilde bilgi edinme imkânına sahip olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, sanal mekânda artırılmış gerçeklik teknolojisinin kullanılarak kültürel coğrafya çalışmalarının yapılması gerekliliği ile potansiyeline dikkati çekmeyi ve bu alanda kültürel coğrafya çalışmalarında bir farkındalık oluşturmayı amaç edinmektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, ikincil veri toplama yolu kullanılarak ilgili bilimsel çalışmalara yönelik literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Ayrıca Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu verilerinden yararlanılarak bilişim teknolojilerine yönelik kullanım oranları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Yapılan tarama neticesinde, dünyada artırılmış gerçeklik teknolojisini konu edinen birçok çalışma ve hayata geçirilen projenin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye’de ise bu teknolojiyi konu edinen çalışmalar olmasına rağmen, kültürel mirasın korunması kapsamında hayata geçirilen proje ve uygulamaların yetersiz olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Kültürel mirasın korunması ve aktarılmasına yönelik, genç kuşağın aktif olarak yer aldığı sanal mekânda, artırılmış gerçeklik teknolojisi gibi yeni teknolojiler kullanılarak çeşitli projelerin hayata geçirilmesi ve başta gençler olmak üzere her yaş kuşağındaki bireylerin kullanımına sunulması gerekmektedir.

Published: September 2021

The design of an aquarium cleaner and automatic fish feeder based on the Atmega8535 microcontroller has been successfully carried out. Testing is carried out after all components are integrated into one including the overall program that has been made. Testing is done by running the system according to the procedure and observing the system's performance, starting with measuring turbidity and checking the water replacement schedule. The work processes running on the system are analyzed after testing. When the water turbidity level is high, the drain pump will activate and pump water out of the aquarium. After the remaining water level is about 25%, the drain pump will stop, and the filling pump will be active. The fill pump runs until the water level reaches 100% and then shuts down. After 10 minutes of filling the water, the servo motor will move and drop the fish feed into the aquarium.
