Authors: Özaytekin Hasan Hüseyin , DEDEOGLU MERT
Published: December 2024

In this study, heavy metal contents in soil fractions were determined in soils formed on the volcanic material of Karadağ (about 20 km north of Karaman province) with selective solutions, sequential extraction method, and the total heavy metal contents were calculated in these fractions. Heavy metal status and contamination levels were determined by using pollution indices instead of comparing them with the reference rock alone. Different pollution indices were used such as Geoaccumulation index (I-geo), pollution load index (PLI), Enrichment factor (EF) and Contamination factor (CF) index. According to all indices used, there was no or very little contamination, except for RAC, and it was determined that these levels did not cause any pollution in the soil. Although no significant pollution or contamination was observed in the soils in the evaluations made using other indices. RAC values showed a high risk especially for Cd. Although not high risk, low risk points were detected in Ni and Pb. This situation clearly reveals that in the pollution assessments, indexes that take mobile fractions into account rather than total values should be used for sensitive areas.

Authors: YÜCEL NAMIK KEMAL
Published: December 2024

In plant breeding studies, anther culture is used to breed hybrid varieties, to transform tetraplaid plants that can be obtained through interspecific somatic hybridization into fertile dihaploid plants, and in recent years, to obtain diploid in protoplast fusion of haploid embryogenic calli obtained from anther culture. The frequency of obtaining haploid plants in anther culture depends on many factors such as the variety, the season in which it was taken and the use of suitable media for regeneration. In this study, it was aimed to determine the appropriate regeneration environment in the anther culture of Aydın Siyahı and Kemer eggplant varieties, which are widely grown in our country. In the anther culture study, C (callus), R (regeneration) and V3 media recommended by Dumas de Valux et al. (1982) were used as nutrient media. However, as C (callus) medium, Dumas de Vaulx et al. (1982) 3 different doses of 2,4 D, Kinetin and sucrose of the C medium reported were tested. The highest plant yield (36.4%) of the Aydin Siyahı variety was obtained from the modified Dumas de Vaulx et al. (1982), from 1 mg/l 2.4-D +1 mg/l Kinetin + 120 g/l sucrose medium, the highest plant yield (33.8%) of the Kemer variety was reported by Dumas de Vaulx et al. (1982), obtained from 5 mg/l 2.4-D + 5 mg/l Kinetin + 120 g/l sucrose medium. Of the 79 plants obtained from anther culture and whose ploidy level was examined, 60 were determined as haploid, 13 as diploid, 4 as triploid, 1 as tetraploid and 1 as mixoploid.

Non-inverse signed graph of a group
Authors: Amreen J. , Naduvath S.
Published: December 2024

Let $G$ be a group with binary operation $\ast$. The non-inverse graph (in short, $i^*$-graph) of $G$, denoted by $\Gamma$, is a simple graph with vertex set consisting of elements of $G$ and two vertices $x, y \in \Gamma$ are adjacent if $x$ and $y$ are not inverses of each other. That is, $x- y$ if and only if $x\ast y \neq i_G \neq y \ast x$, where $i_G$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, we extend the study of $i^\ast$-graphs to signed graphs by defining $i^\ast$-signed graphs. We characterize the graphs for which the $i^\ast$-signed graphs and negated $i^\ast$-signed graphs are balanced, sign-compatible, consistent and $k$-clusterable. We also obtain the frustration index of the $i^\ast$-signed graph. Further, we characterize the homogeneous non-inverse signed graphs and study the properties like net-regularity and switching equivalence.

The spatial problem of elasticity theory for a fibrous composite in the form of a layer with two thick-walled cylindrical tubes is solved. Stresses are given on the flat surfaces of the layer and on the inner surface of the tubes. The solution to the problem is presented in the form of Lamé equations in different coordinate systems, where the layer is considered in a Cartesian system and the tubes – in local cylindrical ones. To combine the basic solutions in different coordinate systems, the generalized Fourier method is used. Satisfying the boundary conditions and conjugation conditions between the layer and the tubes, an infinite system of integro-algebraic equations is formed, which is reduced to linear algebraic equations of the second kind, and the reduction method is applied. After finding the unknowns, it is possible to obtain the stress-strain state at any point of the elastic combined bodies using the generalized Fourier method to the basic solutions of the problem. According to the results of numerical studies, it can be stated that the problem can be solved with a given accuracy, which depends on the order of the system of equations and has a rapid convergence of solutions to the exact one. Numerical analysis of the stressed state was considered with a variation of the distance between the tubes. The graphs of the distribution of internal stresses in the tubes and the layer are obtained. The results show an inverse relationship between the magnitude of stresses and the distance between the tubes. In addition to the absolute value of stresses, changes in the character of the diagrams and the sign are possible. The proposed method of solution can be applied in the design of a layer with tubes. The obtained stress-strain state makes it possible to preliminarily evaluate the geometric parameters of the structure. Further development of the research topic is necessary for a model where tubes are combined with other types of inhomogeneities.
TRANSLANGUAGING IN ENGLISH-NEPALI BILINGUAL SPACE IN UNIVERSITY-LEVEL ENGLISH READING INSTRUCTION
Authors: Adhikari Bal Ram , Poudel Prem Prasad , Li Xiangyu
Published: December 2024

Framed within pedagogical translanguaging, this qualitative case study explored university teachers’ translanguaging practices in the bilingual space in English reading instruction. Data were gathered through class observations and semi-structured interviews with four teachers instructing English reading courses in the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) program at a university in Nepal. Analysis reveals teachers’ heteroglossic awareness that inspired them to embed the translanguaging strategy in reading instruction despite the university's monolingual orientation. Perceived as the irreducible fabric of bi/multilingual classrooms, English-Nepali translanguaging was integrated into reading lessons for different purposes, such as, to orient students to texts, enhance students’ access to text content and language, and optimize reader-text interaction and collaborative meaning construction. The study highlights how teachers can leverage students’ bi/multilingual resources to compensate for and complement their emergent meaning-making and meaning-sharing processes in English reading. These findings imply that idealized monolingual instructional practices commonly promoted through conventional approaches and methods are to be revisited and the role of learners’ prior and emergent linguistic repertoires is to be repositioned in EFL contexts. The study sees the need for further exploration of the translanguaging praxis in EFL contexts to institutionally validate the deployment of bi/multilingual resources for learning enhancement.
ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION IN AN INDONESIAN ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY: LECTURER’S, STUDENT’S, AND ALUMNUS’ VOICES
Authors: Irham Irham , Wahyudi Ribut
Published: December 2024

This study investigates voices of a teacher, student, and alumnus of an International Class (ICP) which employs English as a medium of instruction (EMI). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three participants focusing on their positioning towards English and EMI, followed by document studies including teaching materials and course outlines. The inclusion of alumni is important to understand the extent that they might support, negotiate, or resist EMI in ICP and to uncover key issues such as beliefs and promise of EMI and its workplace realities. Besides, the graduate has a prominent role in this study to see the possible role of EMI in the university as to whether EMI does warrant promised linguistic capital. Our study suggests that EMI in ICP is often valorised and commoditised as a marketing strategy to attract more students. However, inadequate preparation and planning results in insufficient development of either English proficiency or content subject comprehension. We recommend that the adoption of EMI along with desirable internationalisation of Higher Education (HE) be critically (re)envisioned and appropriated to advantage multilingual speakers with English. Pedagogical and professional supports need to be explicitly provisioned to help teachers and students navigate and respond to linguistic and pedagogical challenges in EMI.
A Study on FPGA Implementation of Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs)
Authors:   Student Researcher, Department of Electrical Engineering, UTD, USA, Marri Sai Kumar ,   Student Researcher, Department of Electrical Engineering, UTD, USA, K Anjan
Published: December 2024

Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are emerging as a critical hardware security primitive, leveraging
the inherent and irreproducible manufacturing variations of integrated circuits (ICs) to generate unique, device-specific
responses. By mapping input challenges to output responses based on physical characteristics, PUFs provide a
lightweight and cost-effective solution for secure authentication, key generation, and intellectual property protection.
Unlike traditional cryptographic approaches, PUFs do not require secure memory to store keys, relying instead on the
physical unpredictability of the hardware. PUFs are categorized into two main types: strong PUFs, which support many
challenge-response pairs for authentication, and weak PUFs, optimized for generating cryptographic keys [1].
Prominent architecture includes Arbiter PUFs, Ring Oscillator PUFs, SRAM PUFs, and Butterfly PUFs, each tailored
to specific application needs and hardware environments. Among these, Ring Oscillator PUFs are particularly notable
for their ease of implementation and resilience against environmental variations, making them ideal for use in FPGAs
and IoT devices. Despite their advantages, PUFs face challenges in reliability and resistance to attacks, including
modeling and side-channel threats. Current research focuses on enhancing security by designing machine learningresistant PUFs, improving error correction mechanisms, and exploring quantum and nanotechnology-enhanced
architectures. Furthermore, the integration of PUFs in resource-constrained devices such as IoT nodes necessitates
lightweight and energy-efficient designs. The evolving landscape of PUFs highlights their potential to address
emerging security concerns in diverse domains, including cryptographic protocols, secure key management, and device
authentication. By combining low cost, high security, and scalability, PUFs represent a promising direction in the
development of secure hardware solutions. Continued advancements in PUF technology will pave the way for their
broader adoption in critical applications requiring robust and tamper-resistant security mechanisms.

Authors:   Independent Researcher, Texas, USA, Lakshmikanthan Govindarajan , Nair Sreejith Sreekandan ,   Independent Researcher, Texas, USA
Published: December 2024

This white paper explores the concept of bioacoustic authentication in continuous user verification for
cybersecurity. As traditional authentication methods become increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated attacks, we
propose leveraging the unique internal sounds produced by the human body - such as heartbeats, blood flow, and joint
movements as a novel biometric identifier. We examine the technical challenges and potential solutions in capturing
and processing these subtle bioacoustic signals, including the development of specialized sensors and advanced signal
processing algorithms. The use of machine learning techniques for real-time analysis and user verification is explored,
with a focus on accuracy, adaptability, and fraud prevention. We explore practical applications across various sectors,
from high-security environments to personal devices, and its potential integration with existing cybersecurity
frameworks. By harnessing the body's internal rhythms, bioacoustic authentication presents a promising avenue for
enhancing cybersecurity measures, offering a unique blend of security, convenience, and continuous protection against
unauthorized access.

Authors: Demirci Erdem Ünal
Published: December 2024

Bu makale, 17. yüzyılda Fransa’nın yaşadığı siyasal, toplumsal ve ekonomik değişimi Molière oyunları ışığında incelemek için kaleme alındı. 14. Louis’nin mutlakiyetçi yönetimi altında çağın en güçlü devletlerinden birine dönüşen Fransa’da kapitalizmin gelişimi, politika ile ekonomi alanlarının ayrışmasına ve burjuva kamusal alanı olarak ortaya çıkan ekonomik alanın bencillikle nitelenmesine neden olur. Ayrıca yaşanılan çağda ‘ilerleme’ ideolojisinin yükselişi ve ‘çıkar’ kavramının sadece maddi ve iktisadi kazanç odaklı bir anlam kazanması söz konusudur. Kapitalizmin ruhu Fransa’da, sarayı yüceltirken aristokrasiye karşı yeni sınıfsal güç olan burjuvazinin soylulaşmasına neden olur. Molière; ahlaksız, cimri, sofu, cahil ve bencil karakterleriyle tam da böylesi bir değişimi sahnede eleştiriye tabi tutmuştur. Makale kapsamında, sanatın yergi gücünü görebilmek ve metnin anlam bütünlüğünü sağlayabilmek için Molière’in farklı zamanlarda yazdığı 17 tiyatro oyunu incelenmiştir. Sonuç itibariyle bu çalışma, 17. yüzyıl Fransa’sında ortaya çıkan ahlaki çürümüşlüğün, bireyin değişen tutku ve arzuların, aksayan sağlık, eğitim ve hukuk sistemlerinin, sınıfsal hezeyanların ve nihayetinde güneş kral 14. Louis için yaratılan kraliyet kültünün tarihsel bir arka planla Molière oyunlarından takip edilebileceği iddiasıyla hazırlandı.

Annelik, büyüyen teknoloji ve medya etkisi altında evrim geçirmekte, modern anneler çoğu zaman bilgi ve deneyimlerini çevrimiçi platformlarda paylaşmaktadır. Influencer anneler, özellikle yeni ve tecrübesiz anneler için bir bilgi kaynağı olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Literatürde Instamom olarak ifade edilen influencer annelere ait dijital profiller, önceleri annelerin bebekleri ile ilgili anılarına yer verildiği dijital bir günlük olarak kullanılmaktayken süreç içerisinde bir reklam ve pazarlama mecrası haline gelmişlerdir. Sıradan annelerin, ağ toplumu tarafından sunulan erişim olanaklarını kullanarak oluşturmuş oldukları sosyal kimlik ise onların zamanla oluşturmuş oldukları fenomen kimlikleriyle birleşerek Instamom adı verilen yeni bir annelik olgusunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. “Instamom”, artık “anne” ve “influencer” kavramlarından bağımsız bir kavram olarak incelenmeyi gerektirmiştir. Sharenting olarak ifade edilen ebeveynlerin, çocukların mahrem dünyasını sosyal medya hesaplarında paylaşması da bu çalışmada vurgulanan kavramlardan biridir. Ayrıca sharenting kavramı bu çalışmada Türkçeye uyarlanmış ve “paylaşan” ve “ebeveyn” kelimelerinin birleşmesiyle paylaşeyn olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı nüfuz pazarlaması bağlamında Instamomların içeriklerini incelemek ve içeriklerde çocuğun, annenin ve kadınlığın konumunu paylaşeyn bağlamında tespit edebilmektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda seçilen 12 Instagram hesabı incelenmiştir. Oluşturulan kodlama cetveli aracılığıyla toplanan veriler SPSS programı aracılığıyla analize tabi tutulmuştur. Çalışmanın bulguları ise Instamomların çocukların mahremiyetini kullanarak maddi ve manevi kazançlar elde ettiğini, ayrıca idealize edilmiş bir kadınlık ile idealize edilmiş annelik imajı sunduklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, modern annelik bağlamında Instamomların dönüştürücü etkisini vurgulamaktadır. Instamomların çevrimiçi varlıklarını hem kişisel ifade hem de ticari girişimler için nasıl kullandıklarını inceleyerek, annelik, kimlik ve dijital kültürün evrilen kesişim noktaları üzerine ışık tutan bu araştırma, özel hayatın metalaşması ve dijital çağda paylaşeyn kavramı hakkında önemli bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.
“Türkiye’yi Mevcut Anayasa Kamburundan Kurtarmak”: Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ın “Yeni Anayasa İhtiyacı” Söylemine Ulusal Basının Bakışı
Authors: Çakır Ali
Published: December 2024

1982 Anayasası, askeri darbe sonrası yasama yetkisini kullanmak üzere göreve gelen Milli Güvenlik Konseyi’nin yönetimi altında halkoylamasıyla kabul edilmiştir. “Darbe anayasası” olarak isimlendirilmiş ve farklı gerekçelerle 1987, 2007, 2008, 2010 ve 2017 yıllarında kapsamlı, farklı zamanlarda ise mecliste kısıtlı değişikliklere uğramıştır. Anayasanın birçok maddesi değişmesine rağmen tartışmalar azalmamış, gün geçtikçe artmıştır. Bu meyanda, Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ın TBMM’nin açılış konuşmasında yaptığı “yeni anayasa” vurgusu, konuyu tekrar gündeme getirmiştir. Toplum sözleşmesi olan anayasa, kamuoyunu doğrudan ilgilendiren bir metindir. Haliyle gazetelerin bu konu üzerine eğilmesi kaçınılmazdır. İlaveten köşe yazarlarının fikirlerini beyan ettikleri makaleleri de kişisel görüşlerini ortaya koyması bakımından önemlidir. Türk basınının “yeni anayasa” tartışmalarını köşe yazılarında ele alış şekilleri, bu çalışmanın iskeletini oluşturmaktadır. Köşe yazılarını belirlemek için ulusal düzeyde yayın yapan gazetelerin 2-16 Ekim 2023 tarihleri arasındaki nüshaları taranmıştır. Bu tarihler; Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ın meclis konuşmasının 1 gün sonrasından İsrail’in Filistin’e yönelik saldırılarının başladığı gün aralığıdır. Yapılan arama sonucunda, 19 gazeteden toplam 56 köşe yazısı seçilmiştir. Daha sonra yazılar; anayasa değişikliğine destek verenler, karşı çıkanlar ve tarafsız konumlananlar olmak üzere 3 kategoriye ayrılmıştır. Sınıflandırma aşamasından sonra ilgili yazılar içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. “Tanımlar ve kavramlar” başlığıyla 20 adet kelime belirlenmiş ve bunlara yüklenen anlamlar hem aynı fikri hem de farklı fikirleri savunan yazarlar arasında karşılıklı analiz yapılmıştır. Ayrıca yapılan analiz neticesinde ortaya çıkan bulguların, 10 farklı “siyasi aktör” tarafından nasıl kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Gazete ve yazar ayırmaksızın, siyasi aktörlerin olumlu, olumsuz ve nötr algıları da değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Elde edilen bilgi ve bulgular ışığında; toplumu aydınlatma ve bilgilendirme işlevi ve görevi bulunan gazetelerin, yeni anayasa tartışmaları konusunda beklentiyi karşılayamadıkları gözlemlenmiştir.

Roma döneminde kara yollarının yaygınlaşması ve kara yolları ile deniz yollarının güvenliğinin sağlanması, Akdeniz dünyasındaki yolculukları kolay, hızlı ve güvenli hale getirmiştir. Roma orduları da imparatorluğun doğu sınırındaki Parthlara karşı sık sık çıktıkları seferlerde Anadolu’daki yolları kullanmıştır. Ayrıca bazı Roma imparatorları, savaşlar sırasında orduya bizzat komuta etmenin yanı sıra imparatorluk topraklarındaki sorunları yerinde görerek çözmek ve halkla bütünleşmek gibi amaçlarlar için de seyahatler gerçekleştirmiştir. Bu seyahatler, Anadolu’da huzur ve güven ortamının yaratılmasına önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca bu sayede imparatorlar yerel halkla bağ kurma fırsatı elde etmiş; Anadolu kentleri de ihtiyaçları konusunda imparatorlardan ciddi destek görmüş, karşılığında da adak yazıtları, sikkeler, heykeller ve kabartmalar vasıtasıyla imparatorlara şükranlarını sunmuşlardır. Sorunları yerinde ve hızlıca çözüme kavuşturmak amacıyla eyaletlerde yolculuk yapan Roma imparatorları arasında en dikkat çekeni Hadrianus’tur. 117-138 yılları arasında imparatorluk yapan Hadrianus’un, imparatorluğunun yarısından fazlası gezilerde geçmiştir. İmparator Caracalla ise Geta’yı öldürtmesinin ardından imparatorluğa tek başına hâkim olduğu dönemde gerçekleştirdiği Parth savaşının hazırlıkları sırasında Batı Anadolu’daki bazı merkezleri ziyaret etmiştir. Bu çalışmamızda antik yazarların eserleri ile imparatorun gezilerini işleyen sikkeler ve yazıtlar yardımıyla Caracalla’nın batı Anadolu seyahati incelenmektedir. Çalışmada seyahatin güzergâhı, amaçları, sonuçları ve kentlere etkileri gibi konular üzerinde durulacaktır. Kaynaklardan edinilen bilgiler, Caracalla’nın 214 yılında Troia ve Pergamon’u ziyaret ettiğini ve kış ayını da Nikomedeia’da geçirdiğini göstermektedir. İmparator, Batı Anadolu’da bulunduğu sırada aynı zamanda Parth savaşının hazırlıklarını tamamlamıştır. Dolayısıyla Caracalla’nın batı Anadolu seyahati hem savaş hazırlıklarını yürütme hem de batı Anadolu’nun önemli merkezlerinin ziyaret edilmesi amacını taşımaktadır. Seyahatle ilgili bir başka husus da özellikle Pergamon ziyaretinin sağlık tanrısı Asklepios’dan şifa arayışı amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiş olmasıdır.

As a coastal country, Vietnam relies on marine exploitation for food security and livelihoods. Training human resources to research, exploit, and manage marine resources is an important strategy to maintain rapid and sustainable economic growth and development. Official training in fishing technology at Nha Trang University (NTU) started in 1959. With 65 years of teaching, the unique program only offered at NTU, has made significant contribution to social-economic development in general and sustainable marine fisheries in particular. In this paper, we review the major achievements in teaching and scientific research in fishing technology at NTU as well as highlight the challenges and progress. Over the years, thousands of students have been trained under the fishing technology program and they then have worked all over the country, working in fisheries management, science, and services. Hundreds of research projects and peer-reviewed papers have been conducted and published. Those have supported fishing efficiency, environmentally friendly fishing methods, and effective management. However, the number of fishing technology students has decreased during the past few years because of unfavorable study and working environments where students are often exposed to commercial fishing vessels that frequently operate under rough weather conditions. Despite challenges and difficulties, NTU is determined to maintain the program to support the ocean economic development of the nation.
İslam’ın ‘Tevhid’ Kavramının Din Bilimlerindeki ‘Monoteizm’ Kavramıyla İlişkisi
Authors: Olgun Hakan
Published: December 2024

Din bilimlerine dair akademik kavramlar Batı’da Aydınlanma döneminin etkisiyle rasyonel ve pozitivist bağlamda tanımlanmıştır. Bunda Hıristiyan merkezli ya da kolonyalist bakış açısı çerçevesinde Avrupa-merkezli bir yaklaşımın da etkisi bulunmaktadır. Yeryüzündeki dinî geleneklerin temel öğretileri, ibadet, ritüel ve dünya görüşleri hatta söz konusu dinlerin isimlendirilmeleri bile bu Avrupa-merkezli “tanımlayıcı” bir metodolojiyle yapılan tasniflere dayanmaktadır. Din bilimlerinde çok yaygın kullanılan “monoteizm” kavramı da bu tür metodolojinin ürünüdür. Monoteizm, kelime olarak “tek-tanrılık” anlamına gelip Tanrı’nın sayısal birliğine işaret ederken aynı zamanda bütün dinî geleneklerin tanımlanmasında kullanılan bir kavramdır. Ancak Batılı bir kavram olarak monoteizmin tanımının, nitelediği düşünülen bütün dinler için geçerli olduğu iddia edilemez. Örneğin İslam geleneğindeki “tevhid” kavramının Batılı bir din bilimleri kavramı olan “monoteizm” kavramıyla tam olarak karşılandığı söylenemez. Monoteizm, Tanrı’nın sayısal anlamda birliğini ifade ederken “tevhid” Allah’ın hükümlerinin otoriter tekliğine işaret etmektedir. Bu yönüyle tevhid kavramı, sayısal olarak Tanrı’nın birliğinden daha fazlasını, şirk kavramının da zıttı yönünde, onun ilahi hükümlerinin insanların yaşamındaki yegâne otoriterliğini ifade etmektedir. Buna göre, İslam’ın tevhid kavramını, pozitivist perspektife göre politeizmin zamanla dönüştüğü monoteizm kavramına sığdırmak mümkün değildir. Nihayet evrimci pozitivist paradigmanın aksine, her dinin kendine mahsus kavramsal tanımlamalarının o dinin temel doktrinlerine göre anlaşılması gerekir.
A Minimally Invasive Procedure for Fibroblasts Isolation from 1-mm Skin Punch Biopsies in Pediatric Patients v1
Authors: Heredia-Torrejón María , M. Lechuga-Sancho Alfonso , Montañez Raúl
Published: December 2024

The integration of multi-omics techniques has revolutionized the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases. However, interpreting pediatric variants of uncertain significance (VUS) remains a significant challenge. Skin biopsies offer a valuable source of culturable cells for analyzing molecular phenotypes by functional and omic studies, especially in patients with rare genetic disorders. Traditional methods for isolating fibroblasts from skin biopsies often require large tissue samples, invasive procedures, and subsequent wound care, which can be particularly distressing for pediatric patients and deviates from ethical standards. To overcome this limitation, we developed a simplified protocol that minimizes patient discomfort. By reducing the punch biopsy diameter to as little as 1 mm, we significantly reduce invasiveness while achieving high yield and purity of isolated fibroblasts. This streamlined, minimally invasive approach is well-suited for molecular diagnostics laboratories and facilitates the study of rare genetic diseases in children. By enabling advanced diagnostics, therapeutic studies, and personalized medicine, this protocol represents a meaningful advancement in pediatric research and clinical care.
Algorithm with time series simulation versus auto-adjustment in R for predicting tuberculosis cases in Goiás. v1
Authors: Raniere Borges do Anjos Laura , do Prado Assunção Leandro
Published: December 2024

It is estimated that, globally, one in four people is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and approximately 5–10% of these individuals will develop tuberculosis (Tb) over their lifetime. In Goiás, in 2023, 1,499 cases of Tb were reported, representing a 9.42% increase compared to the previous year. This scenario highlights the uncontrolled spread of the disease in Goiás and worldwide, raising significant public health concerns. Predicting Tb cases is an essential tool for controlling the Tb epidemic. We developed an algorithm that constructs a time series model with better parameters than the auto-adjustment model of an R Studio library for prediction. This enabled the estimation of an epidemiological trend for Tb in Goiás. These findings can significantly contribute to the planning of public health actions and decision-making aimed at controlling Tb in the region.
Fault diagnosis of gear based on URP-CVAE-MGAN under imbalanced and small sample conditions
Authors: Yang Na , Liu Jie , Ma Hui , Zhao Weiqiang , Gao Yu
Published: December 2024

To improve diagnosis accuracy for gear fault diagnosis under imbalanced and small sample conditions, a method combining the Un-threshold Recurrence Plots - Conditional Variational Autoencoder-Mean Generative Adversarial Network (URP-CVAE-MGAN) combined with Dropkey-Vision Transformer (DViT) is proposed. First, gear vibrational signals are transformed into Recurrence Plots (RP) images to extract more fault features without threshold effect. Then, a conditional variable and mean feature difference function are incorporated into VAE-GAN to improve the quality and diversity of generated samples, balancing the imbalanced and small sample sets. Dropkey is applied to the diagnosis model Vision Transformer to capture more fault information, improving diagnosis accuracy across various fault types and severities for gear. Finally, the proposed method is verified based on two datasets, demonstrating a significant accuracy improvement of up to 7.84% under the imbalanced and small samples, and confirming its feasibility and superiority.

Existential and Conceptual origins of Vladimir Solovyov's Views on the Role and Mission of Russia in World History
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Malov A.V.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of Vladimir Solovyov's historiosophical views on the role of Russia in the world historical process. The author analyzes the role of V. Solovyov's existential experience having had an important influence on his philosophical research and led to the emergence of a unique thinker's view of the historical mission of Russia. The article examines the internal contradictions of his historiosophy, which the author associates with the philosophical and prophetic duality of V. Solovyov's personality and his desire to combine a rational understanding of history and a religious worldview. The mosaic and multilayered worldview of V. Solovyov is emphasized, where metaphysical and religious ideas are closely intertwined, creating a single concept of the future. Special attention is paid to the metaphysical category of the other Absolute and the idea of self-denial, which are key to understanding the logic of V. Solovyov's historiosophy. It is emphasized that despite his disappointment in Russian society in the last years of his life, Vladimir Solovyov's faith in the spiritual potential of Russia and its world mission remained unchanged. The final conclusion is made that V. Solovyov's historiosophy is a deep reflection of his personal and spiritual searches. The inconsistency of his views, manifested in attempts to reconcile the religious and the rational, makes his historiosophy especially relevant for modern discussions about the role of Russia in world history. The legacy of V. Solovyov offers a unique perspective for understanding national and religious identity, calling for the rejection of national egoism in favor of the common good and a multi-layered understanding of the historical process.
Vl.S. Solovyov's idea of Christian unity in the conditions of the 20–21st centuries challenges
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Besschetnova E.V.
Published: December 2024

This article examines the concept of Christian unity in the context of Russian philosophical thought. The author analyzes the works of Vl.S. Solovyov, as well as the works of Russian religious philosophers of the early 20th century, theologians and church leaders of the 20th-21st centuries, devoted to issues of ecclesiastic unity. The study demonstrates the enduring relevance of Solovyov’s ideas on ecclesiastic unity in the context of modern geopolitical and sociocultural challenges. The work relies on the encyclicals of the Roman pontiffs, the official decrees of the Second Vatican Council, the definitions of the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, the views of Russian philosophers of the 20th century, among whom N.O. Lossky, V.V. Zenkovsky, G.V. Florovsky, S.N. Bulgakov, S.L. Frank, and A.F. Losev. The author implements the historical and philosophical research method, as well as methods of historical analysis and comparative religion. The article analyzes the evolution of the idea of Christian unity in the thought of Vl.S. Solovyov from the project of ecclesiastic unity to the eschatological pessimism of “Three Conversations about War, Progress and the End of World History”. The author pays attention to its reception in the intellectual and church space of the 20th and 21st centuries and the relevance for determining the directions of contemporary Russian society’s development. In essence, the author of the article substantiates the thesis that the idea of Christian unity of Vl.S. Solovyov could be a possible intellectual basis in formulating responses to the challenges that the church faces today regarding its participation in creating humane world order.
