Culture influences conscious appraisal of but not automatic aversion to acoustically rough musical intervals
Authors: Armitage James Edward , Lahdelma Imre , Eerola Tuomas , Ambrazevičius Rytis
Published: January 2023

There is debate whether the foundations of consonance and dissonance are rooted in culture or in psychoacoustics. In order to disentangle the contribution of culture and psychoacoustics, we considered automatic responses to the perfect fifth and the major second (flattened by 25 cents) intervals alongside conscious evaluations of the same intervals across two cultures and two levels of musical expertise. Four groups of participants completed the tasks: expert performers of Lithuanian Sutartines, English speaking musicians in Western diatonic genres, Lithuanian non-musicians and English-speaking non-musicians. Sutartines singers were chosen as this style of singing is an example of 'beat diaphony' where intervals of parts form predominantly rough sonorities and audible beats. There was no difference in automatic responses to intervals, suggesting that an aversion to acoustically rough intervals is not governed by cultural familiarity but may have a physical basis in how the human auditory system works. However, conscious evaluations resulted in group differences with Sutartines singers rating both the flattened major as more positive than did other groups. The results are discussed in the context of recent developments in consonance and dissonance research.

Contextual factors are important to the study of adolescent risk-taking behaviors. Specifically, exposure to community and individual level stressors during adolescence has been reported to be associated with increased substance use. However, it remains unclear what the relative contribution of different community and individual level factors play when alcohol and marijuana use begin to peak in adolescence. The present study uses a large longitudinal sample of adolescents (Wave 1: N = 2,017; 55% Female; 54.5% White, 22.3% Black, 8% Hispanic, 15% other) to evaluate the association between community and individual level factors and substance use during the transitional window from adolescence to young adulthood (e.g., 15-21-years-old). Across three waves of data, multilevel modeling (MLM) was used to evaluate the association between community affluence and disadvantage, individual household socioeconomic status [SES], self-reported public assistance, and self-reported childhood trauma with self-reported 12-month alcohol and 12-month marijuana use. We accounted for sample-selection weights and attrition-adjusted weights in modeling to evaluate the robustness of the estimated effects. Across the MLMs, there was a significant positive association between community affluence and household SES with self-reported alcohol use. In post hoc analyses, higher neighborhood affluence in older adolescents was associated with higher alcohol use and lower use in younger adolescents; the opposite association was found for neighborhood disadvantage. Meanwhile, self-reported child trauma had a significant positive association with both12-month alcohol and 12-month marijuana use. Results were largely consistent across weighted and unweighted analyses. This study demonstrates a nuanced relationship between community and individual level adversities and substance use during the transitional window of adolescence that should be considered when contextualizing substance use during adolescence.
Ripples in the Water: Fluctuations of Narcissistic States in Daily Life_Preprint 1.1
Authors: Freund Vanessa Lea , Eisele Gudrun , Peeters Frenk , lobbestael jill
Published: January 2023

Narcissistic traits are traditionally viewed as consistent like the mirrorlike self-reflection of Narcissus in the water. However, evidence suggests that state levels of narcissism are more dynamic than previously believed. The current research explored fluctuations within and between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism in daily life. We investigated whether individuals’ levels of grandiosity and vulnerability (i) vary, (ii) are instable, and (iii) display inertia and cross-lagged effects in their daily narcissistic expressions. Participants (N = 253; Mage= 22, 85% female) completed grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic trait questionnaires. Using ecological momentary assessment, they further completed up to 60 grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic state questionnaires over six days. Results showed that higher grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic traits led to more within-person variability within their corresponding states. Additionally, higher grandiose leadership/authority and exploitativeness/entitlement traits related to greater vulnerable within-person variability, while self-absorption/self-admiration reduced this. Similarly, all narcissistic traits, except for exploitativeness/entitlement, were positively related to increased instability in their corresponding state. Further, both grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic states demonstrated significant inertia, i.e., lingering narcissistic endorsements within their own states. Overall, the results showed that grandiosity and vulnerability include time-variant states that are intertwined and need to be acknowledged as additional moving, dimensional constructs.
A framework and validation to acknowledge the complexity of farmers’ adoption of sustainable agriculture practices
Authors: Han Guang , Niles Meredith
Published: January 2023

The adoption of sustainable agriculture practices is critical for future ecological, food security, and farmer livelihood goals. Traditionally, the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices is treated as a binary decision, which simplifies the known complexity around behavior change. We propose a framework for the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices that proposes four key elements: Entirety, variability, sophistication, and longevity. We incorporate this framework into a latent class analysis, using nationwide survey data of U.S. farmers’ cover crop adoption. We identify five types of adopters including non-adopters, previous adopters, conservative new adopters, innovative new adopters, and early adopters. This analysis further challenges existing innovation theories, which suggest that early adopters are not the primary innovators. We discuss the implications of this framework for adoption theory, practice, and other potential applications. These results have significant implications for successful farmer learning and extension services to foster new adoption, re-adoption, as well as continued and increasingly complex adoption of sustainable agriculture practices.
Environmental impacts associated with the manufacturing of personalised medicines: a scoping review
Authors: Al-jarshawi Mustafa , Lucassen Anneke , Samuel Gabby
Published: January 2023

This report presents the findings of a project funded by UCL’s Future Targeted Healthcare Manufacturing Hub. This Hub aims to explore the challenges associated with manufacturing personalised medicines. Personalised medicines aim to move therapies from population-based, “one-size-fits-all” approaches (medicines designed for use by a population) to stratified approaches (medicines targeted to specific sub-populations based on particular (e.g., molecular/genetic) characteristics), and ultimately to approaches whereby therapeutic interventions are tailored to the specific molecular characteristics of one individual. This move has implications for medicines manufacturing processes. These processes have typically relied on forecasted demand, but as medicines become increasingly targeted to an individual’s characteristics, manufacturing approaches need to change. For example, for therapeutic interventions tailored to one individual, the manufacturing process has to wait until the individual’s molecular profile has been determined so that this information can be incorporated into therapeutic production. Other aspects of personalised medicine–such as the use of wearable sensors and 3D printing to customise medication dosages–may also require different approaches to manufacturing. The economic, social, and environmental aspects of any innovation are a necessary component of decision-making about implementation and use. This is the premise of sustainable development. In this report, we aim to better understand how the adverse environmental costs associated with personalised medicines manufacturing are being considered in the academic literature.
Civil society organizations and collective sponsorship of refugees in Quebec
Authors: Parent-Chartier Clothilde , Santamaria Neal , Van Haren Ian
Published: January 2023

This chapter explores the involvement of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the collective sponsorship of refugees in Quebec. By focusing on organizations with significant experience in facilitating and supporting sponsorships, the authors investigate their roles and some of the challenges they face. The authors provide an overview of key actors in collective sponsorship and explain five key roles within the collective sponsorship ecosystem, showing that the role of private sponsors goes beyond basic service delivery as they play different roles such as mediators, advocates for refugee rights and initiators of policy changes. Then, they highlight recent developments in Quebec and discuss the specific challenges faced by organizations involved in collective sponsorship including how the government has regulated and constrained sponsorship efforts. The authors conclude by identifying how increased collaboration between CSOs and the government could improve the sponsorship program.
Pastoral conflicts and (dis)trust: Evidence from Nigeria using an instrumental variable approach
Authors: Tuki Daniel
Published: January 2023

Although the incidence of conflicts between Fulani nomadic pastoralists and sedentary farmers in Nigeria have risen significantly during the last decade, no study has, to the best of my knowledge, examined how these conflicts influence distrust of members of the Fulani ethnic group and the larger Muslim population, nor the conditions under which these conflicts, which are primarily about competition over land and water resources, morph into religious conflicts. Using novel survey data collected from Kaduna, the state with the third highest incidence of pastoral conflicts in Nigeria, this study fills these gaps. The regression results show that exposure to pastoral conflicts cause distrust of members of the Fulani ethnic group and Muslims; although the size of the effect is much larger for the Fulani compared to Muslims. This shows that the population in Kaduna tend to conflate the Fulani with Muslims. Religious polarization was found to catalyze the process of resource conflicts turning religious.
EU funds absorption for Romanian rural municipalities: a spatial distribution
Authors: Marin Anca Monica , Glăvan Eugen , Chiș Alin , Corad Bogdan
Published: January 2023

This study analyzes the spatial differences in EU funds absorption among Romanian rural municipalities through the 2014-2020 programming period. The absorption capacity for EU funds is measured by the volume of spent EU funds by inhabitant, for each Romanian rural municipality. The results of the analysis highlight the importance of the territorial dimension when studying the distribution of EU funds among the rural municipalities of Romania. Affiliation with a specific development region (NUTS 2), county (NUTS 3) or a functional urban area (FUA) is used to differentiate the volume of absorbed EU funds. Levels of fiscal capacity, locality development, EU and state budget funding experience, and population dynamics in 2021 compared to those in 2014 are also used to distinguish between categories of municipalities receiving EU funds. In Romania, rural municipalities with higher levels of absorbed EU funding are, to a statistically higher extent, located in development regions in the Center, North‒West, South West and West of the country; in communes with no change, or even an increase, in population between 2021 and 2014; in the highest quartile of fiscal capacity and in communes with experience with EU funding from the preceding programming period. This article adds to the growing body of territorial evidence and can be used as a policy instrument to more closely examine the intervention tools embedded in EU funding policy. From a systemic approach, the results of the analysis are valuable for the design of integrated place-based strategies for EU, national and local level stakeholders, with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life for citizens living in rural areas.
Can intensification of cattle ranching reduce deforestation in the Amazon? Insights from an agent-based social-ecological model

Published: January 2023

Deforestation in the Amazon with its vast consequences for the ecosystem and climate is largely related to subsequent land use for cattle ranching.In addition to conservation policies, proposals to reduce deforestation include measures to intensify cattle ranching. However, the effects of land-use intensification on deforestation are debated in the literature. This paper introduces the abacra model, a stylized agent-based model to study the interplay of deforestation and the intensification of cattle ranching in the Brazilian Amazon. The model combines social learning and ecological processes with market dynamics. In the model, agents adopt either an extensive or semi-intensive strategy of cattle ranching based on the success of their neighbors. They earn their income by selling cattle on a stylized market. We present a comprehensive analysis of the model with statistical methods and find that it produces highly non-linear transient outcomes in dependence on key parameters like the rate of social interaction and elasticity of the cattle price. We show that under many environmental and economic conditions, intensification does not reduce deforestation rates and sometimes even has a detrimental effect on deforestation. Anti-deforestation policies incentivizing fast intensification can only lower deforestation rates under conditions in which the local cattle market saturates.
Fairness and Signaling in Bargaining Games
Authors: Popa-Wyatt Mihaela , Mühlenbernd Roland , Wyatt Jeremy L.
Published: January 2023

Unfairness emerges in bargaining games under a variety of conditions. Two effects increase the probability that a simulated society converges to unfairness: (i) the Red King effect produces advantage in favor of members of the larger group; (ii) the Bargaining Power effect produces advantage in favor of the group with more powerful individuals. This paper shows how these effects are modulated by relationships between unobservable and observable traits (signals). We investigate three models. First, when an agent can choose signals, we find a relationship between unfairness and distinctive signaling. Second, we introduce stochastic signaling, in which signals are somewhat (de-)correlated with an underlying trait. Third, we introduce adaptive tolerance, in which agents create a signal using a partition of the underlying trait space. It is shown computationally that, in each case, there is a fall in the proportion of societies converging on unequal resource distribution. Analysis supports the idea that the underlying phenomenon linking all these is the mutual information between the signal and the unobservable trait.
Fabrication of Zn/ZnO Core/Shell Nanoparticles by Laser Ablation in Liquid Technique
Authors: Raad Taher Mustafa , M. Ali Al-Kifaie Abbas
Published: February 2023

In this research, Zn/ZnO Nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared via the Pulse Laser Ablation (PLA) method using three liquids (Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water). Zn/ZnO NPs were synthesized via an Nd-YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, applied energy of 800 mJ, a frequency of 6 Hz, and 100 laser pulses at room temperature. The Zn metal plate was dipped in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water, respectively. The UV-Vis results shows sharp and single peaks at 320, 341, and 333 nm for Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water respectively. FTIR testing shows peaks at about 500 cm−1 for Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water, which indicates Zn-O stretching vibrations. XRD investigation shows low-angle peaks at 23.31˚, 23.81˚, and 19.20˚ for Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water, respectively. In addition, a sharp peak of high intensity was observed at 13.54˚ for Zn/ZnO Core/Shell NPs in Acetone. These peaks indicate that the structure is stable and undistorted. These patterns emphasize compact pore arrangements. The lower intensity of the gradient peaks indicates that ZnO formed at a preferred site. Nor did high-angle XRD patterns appear, indicating that the formed ZnO NPs are so small to be distinct from background noise or undetectable by widish angle XRD. The broad XRD peak at 2θ angles from 20° to 30° can also confirm that ZnO is low-crystalline. The TEM images show the presence of Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water with a size of less than 50 nm, and TEM analysis confirms that the primary structure of Zn/ZnO NPs is a Core/Shell.

Wybory prezydenckie w czasie pandemii
Authors: Dobrowolski Marek
Published: January 2023

The presidential election held in 2020 was special due to the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, as the electoral process took place in several unusual stages. The first stage was based on the assumption that a standard electoral process would suffice to perform the election. In the second stage, an attempt was made to organise the election by postal voting. The third stage resulted from the failure to hold the vote on the originally scheduled date (10 May 2020). The fourth stage was to hold the electoral process on a new date (28 June 2020). The extraordinary circumstances under which the election took place revealed previously unknown aspects in the application of the law. The paper aims at describing different stages of the process as well as identifying legal problems that were exposed during the elections. The systematics of the article is based on a chronology of events.
Konstytucyjna zasada równości w kontekście przepisów abolicyjnych w ustawie Polski Ład
Authors: Doktór-Bindas Kamila , Duda-Hyz Michalina
Published: January 2023

The article was devoted to the institution of transitional lump-sum income tax introduced by the act on the so-called Polish Deal (Polski Ład). As demonstrated, it actually meets the criteria of tax amnesty and at the same time raises serious doubts as to its compliance with the constitutional principles of equality (Article 32 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland) and universality of taxation (Article 84 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland). The publication presents the tax amnesty institution itself, its essence and historical outline as well as the normative construction of transitional lump-sum income tax. The compliance of the provisions normalising the institution of the transitional lump-sum income tax was also analysed along with the indicated provisions of the fundamental law.
Warianty monistycznej egzekutywy w strukturze prezydenckiego systemu rządów
Authors: Jakubiak Łukasz
Published: January 2023

The paper deals with different variants of the presidential model, with a particular emphasis on the possibility of including the post of prime minister. The author argues that presidentialism should be defined by taking into account abstracted general constructions that can be duplicated and easily identified outside the United States of America. Such a research perspective allows for the analysis of structures that exist in countries that adopt the most important assumptions of the presidential system but modify it in various ways. One of such potential modification is the existence of the post of prime minister, as well as some other elements of parliamentarianism. The author examines the features of presidentialism on the example of six selected countries (Argentina, Brazil, Cyprus, Kenya, South Korea and the Ivory Coast). Three of them have the posts of prime ministers, while the other three are closer in this respect to the model known from the United States of America.
Prezydenckie prawo łaski w ukraińskim systemie prawa – zakres i wykonywanie
Authors: Kaczmarczyk-Kłak Katarzyna
Published: January 2023

The aim of the article is to define the boundaries of the prerogative of pardon in the Ukrainian legal system in terms of the objective and subjective aspects from the constitutional point of view and the decree of the President of Ukraine on the application of the prerogative of pardon. This decree significantly restricts the decision-making freedom of the head of state in making decisions on the application of the prerogative of pardon, which raises doubts as to the compliance of the adopted solution with the fundamental law. The article compares the constitutional approach to the prerogative of pardon with the solutions adopted in the decree in order to answer the question whether they are consistent with the essence and nature of the presidential prerogative of pardon under the constitution.
Opinia prawna w sprawie dopuszczalności wielokrotnego składania do Komisji Etyki Poselskiej wniosków o ukaranie posła za to samo przewinienie
Authors: Chybalski Piotr
Published: January 2023

The subject of the opinion is to analyse the problem of admissibility of repeated submission to the Deputies’ Ethics Committee of motions to punish a deputy for the same act in breach of the “Principles of Deputies’ Ethics”. The author claims that once the Committee has adopted a resolution stating the violation of the above principles by a deputy, the submission of subsequent motions concerning the same case becomes groundless. This is because the provisions of the law do not give the Deputies’ Ethics Committee the possibility to return to the already-settled case.
Konsekwencje powołania do pełnienia urzędu sędziego w procedurze, która mogła być dotknięta wadą prawną. Glosa do Wyroku Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z dnia 4 listopada 2021 r., sygn. akt III FSK 3626/21

The commented judgement concerns the consequences of an appointment to the office of a judge in a procedure that may have been affected by a legal defect. In the judgement in question the Supreme Administrative Court held that a judge or an assistant judge of an administrative court appointed by the President of the Republic of Poland is a(n) (assistant) judge in the Republic of Poland and a European judge within the meaning of the EU Treaties and Article 6(1) of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms even if the procedure preceding the appointment may have been defective (a potentially legally defective procedure). Agreeing with the aforementioned view, the author notes that, firstly, the definitive nature of judicial appointments made by the President of the Republic of Poland does not, according to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and of the Court of Justice of the European Union, provide an answer to the question whether each judge provides sufficient guarantees of independence and impartiality due to the procedure pursuant to which she or he was appointed. Secondly, the in abstracto test taken into account in some judgements of both Courts (examining the law as regards the legality of the appointments of judges) assessing the independence and impartiality of judges and whether a court is established by law, as opposed to the in concreto test applied in some other judgments of both Courts (concerning the conduct of a given judge in a given case, precluding the questioning of judgements solely on the ground that they were issued by persons appointed at the request of the current National Council of the Judiciary), infringes the principle of legal certainty, which constitutes an element of the rule of law. Thirdly, such dualism in European jurisprudence consequently leads to a destabilisation of the judicial system, which is opposed by the judgement under comment.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) remains the only significant integration organisation in the Southeast Asia. Despite the ongoing process of integration of member states, this consolidation has been relatively late in embracing issues related to the protection of fundamental rights. The subject of translation is the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD) adopted on 18 November 2012 by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The document in question may in the future lay the foundations for the Asian human rights protection system based on non-European values. Indeed, the presentation of fundamental rights in this document is different from that found in the European human rights system. Particularly noteworthy is the linkage made by it between fundamental rights and the performance of duties that each person has towards the community. The document recognises the existence of some of the so-called collective human rights (right to development, right to peace). The Declaration also devotes considerable space to social rights. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it points out that the idea of human rights must take into account and respect the different models of political, social and economic system, cultural and religious differences and the different historical experiences of each country. This seems extremely valuable in view of the instrumentalisation of human rights as a tool of political pressure that sometimes takes place.

As a general rule on the territorial scope of treaties, the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969 assumes that a treaty binds each party in respect of its entire territory. However, this is only a presumption, as any party may decide otherwise. In the second half of the 1990s, the European Union concluded the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreements with Israel and Morocco, which contain in their content, a very generally worded territorial clause, according to which they apply to the territory of the European Union, and Israel or Morocco. However, this seemingly clear and precise rule has in practice caused numerous problems in bilateral relations between the European Union and Israel and between the European Union and Morocco. The purpose of this paper is firstly, to characterise the territorial scope of the Treaties in the light of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, both in theory and in practice, using the example of the trade agreements concluded by the European Union with Israel and Morocco. Secondly, to point out that in practice this scope is much broader, as it includes “third” territories such as those of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Thirdly, to answer the question whether this practice is compatible with the obligations to respect the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law imposed on the European Union by Articles 3(5) and 21(1) of the Treaty on European Union.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan (1) Apakah terjadi alih kode dalam interaksi antara penutur asli bahasa Minangkabau ketika berkomunikasi dengan orang lain di Curup?; (2) Apakah campur kode ada dalam interaksi mereka?; dan (3) Apa kemungkinan motif alih kode dan campur kode dalam interaksinya? Meskipun penelitian ini sederhana, namun dapat dianggap sebagai langkah awal untuk mempelajari alih kode dan campur kode secara lebih komprehensif, khususnya di kalangan penutur asli bahasa Minangkabau di Curup. Melalui kajian kecil ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penutur asli bahasa Minangkabau menggunakan bahasa Indonesia dalam interaksinya dengan orang lain. Mereka mengganti kode ke bahasa Minangkabau setiap kali orang yang mereka ajak bicara mulai menggunakannya. Alasan kedua alih kode bagi mereka adalah karena mereka cenderung menggunakan bahasa Minangkabau jika mereka mengetahui bahwa lawan bicaranya adalah penutur bahasa tersebut. Mereka cenderung menggunakan bahasa Minangkabau jika bahasa tersebut digunakan oleh mereka sejak pertama kali bertemu.

Bu makalede, çeşitli giriş koşullarına sahip hiperbolik bir soğutma kulesinin akış analizi, hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği modülü kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Referans olarak 50 ton/saat kapasiteli bir soğutma kulesi alınmıştır. Sistemde sağ ve sol tarafta olmak üzere iki su girişi ve alttan hava girişi bulunmaktadır. Analiz sonucunda soğutma kulesinin performansını etkileyen ana faktörlerin akışkan sıcaklığı ve çevre nem değerleri olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca kule yüksekliğinin optimum seviyede tasarlanırsa soğutma performansının arttığı hesaplanmıştır. Hava debisinin ve akış hızının artması ile kulenin soğutma kapasitesinin arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu analizde k-Ɛ enerji denklemi yöntemi kullanılmıştır.

Havacılık sektöründe kullanılan aviyonik kutular, işlemci, sensör ve kablolama gibi elemanları içerisinde barındıran sistemlerdir. Yüksek mukavemet ve hafiflik gerektiren bu sistemler bakır, alüminyum ve farklı tür kompozit malzemelerden imal edilebilmektedirler. Bu çalışmada, aviyonik kutuların imalatında kullanılan alüminyum ve nanokompozit malzemelerin harici bir soğutma ünitesi kullanılarak termal analizleri yapılmış ve soğutmaya olan etkileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Malzemelerin termal performansları iki aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir. Birinci aşamada, kutu içerisinde oluşan ısının homojen olarak dağıldığı durumda iki malzemenin termal performansları hesaplanıp karşılaştırılırken ikinci aşamada ısıl yüke sebep olan enstrümanlar tek bir duvarda toplanarak hesaplamalar yapılmıştır. Analizlerde elde edilen sonuçlar dikkate alındığında homojen ısı dağılımlı koşullarda 75 oC dış ortam sıcaklıkları için alüminyum malzemeden imal edilen kutuda en yüksek sıcaklık 112,9 oC olurken alüminyum yerine epoksi matrisli VGCF nanokompoziti kullanılması durumunda bu sıcaklık değeri 96,8 oC seviyelerine düşmüştür. İkinci aşama olan ısıl yükün tek duvarda toplandığı koşulda ise yine 75 oC dış ortam sıcaklığı için hesaplamalar yapılmış olup alüminyum kutuda 99,1 oC, nanokompozit kutuda 92,2 oC sıcaklık değeri elde edilmiştir. Bu da yapılan malzeme güncellemesinin homojen ısı dağılımlı koşulda %14,3, homojen olmayan ısı dağılımı koşulunda ise %7 seviyelerinde iyileştirme olduğunu göstermektedir. Analizlerin tüm aşamalarında 800 W kapasiteli termoelektrik soğutucu kullanılmıştır. Yapılan bir diğer analizde ise alüminyumdan imal edilen kutuda hangi kapasitedeki soğutucu kullanılırsa nanokompozit malzeme ile aynı sonucu edileceği araştırılmıştır. Homojen ısı dağılımında alüminyum kutuda 112,9 oC yerine 96,8 oC sıcaklık elde etmek için soğutucu kapasitesini 800 W’dan 1100 W seviyelerine çıkarmak gerekmektedir. Tek duvara yoğunlaştırılmış koşulda ise alüminyum kutunun sıcaklığını 99,1 oC’den 92,2 oC’ye düşürmek için 900 W kapasiteli termoelektrik soğutucu kullanmak gerektiği belirlenmiştir. Bu da homojen ısı dağılımı koşullarında %37,5, homojen olmayan ısı dağılımında ise %12,5 seviyelerinde bir verim elde edildiğini göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla düşük enerji tüketimi ve düşük ağırlık özelliklerinin kritik öneme sahip olduğu havacılık sektöründe aviyonik kutularda alüminyum yerine nanokompozit malzeme kullanımının daha uygun olduğu söylenebilir.

Published: January 2023

While the Covid-19 epidemic in the world was not over yet, the monkeypox epidemic started. The monkeypox virus spread to more than 59 countries in 4 months. Computer-aided forecasting models are needed to effectively control this spread. It has been seen in previous outbreaks that time-series models are effective in estimating the impact of the epidemic and taking necessary precautions. In this study, different Automatic Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models were developed to successfully forecast the number of monkeypox cases in the World. Daily confirmed monkeypox cases data from 07 May-12 July 2022 were used in the study. 07 May 2022-02 July data were used in the training of ARIMA models. The prediction performances of the models were tested with the data of 03 July-12 July 2022. According to the test results, the ARIMA(2,2,1) model with the lowest RMSE=483, MAE=410, and MAPE=4.82 was determined as the most successful model. It has been determined that the determined ARIMA model is in good agreement with the real values with an average error value of around 5%. The number of monkeypox cases for the next 7-day was forecasted using ARIMA(2,2,1) model. While the model predicts the number of monkeypox cases to be 15056 for 19 July 2022, the actual number of cases is 15032 proves the model's success. This is the first study to estimate the number of monkeypox cases using the ARIMA method, and the results show that the ARIMA model is a convenient method for estimating the number of monkeypox cases.

Organometalik kompleksi (OMcomplex) arayüzey tabakası olarak p-Si üzerinde ince bir film olarak biriktirmek için döndürmeli kaplama kullanıldı. Al/OMcomplex/p-Si Schottky diyot yapısı gerekli işlemlerden sonra oda sıcaklığında elde edilmiştir. Arayüz katmanlı Schottky diyotun Akım-Gerilim (I-V) ve Kapasitans-Gerilim (C-V) ölçümleri diyotun karakteristik parametrelerini hesaplamak için kullanıldı. I-V okumalarından bariyer yüksekliği (Φb0) ve idealite faktörü (n) hesaplandı ve sonuçlar sırasıyla 0.797 eV ve 1.615 oldu. Seri direnç (Rs), Cheung ve Norde fonksiyonları ile bulunarak karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca 10 kHz ile 1 MHz frekans aralığında yapılan C-V ölçümlerinden doping yoğunluğu (Na) değerleri ve engel yüksekliği bulunmuş ve I-V ve C-V gözlemlerinden ulaşılan Φb0 değerleri karşılaştırılmıştır. I-V ve C-V den elde edilen engel yüksekliği değerlerinin farklılığı, engel yüksekliğinin homojen olmayışı, arayüzey tabakasının varlığı, arayüzey tabakasının kalınlığı ve seri direnç etkilerinin yanı sıra her iki yöntemin farklı tabiatına atfedilmiştir.
