An integrated warning team (IWT) approach to the provision of fire warnings (FRWs) for particularly dangerous wildfires has been developed and operationally demonstrated in select jurisdictions of Oklahoma and Texas. Such warnings provide initial public notification of wildfires that present an immediate threat to life and property and also influence protective actions by incident managers. This warning paradigm consists of a real-time interagency collaborative process between National Weather Service meteorologists and state forestry agency fire analysts based on shared knowledge of the fire environment and satellite-detected fire characteristics. To explore the viability of IWT FRW concepts elsewhere, analyses of decisional guidance thresholds for multiagency coordination and warning issuance timelines from operational demonstrations in Oklahoma and Texas are applied to data reviews of three western United States wildfire disasters. The retrospective test cases support possible warning issuance up to 55 minutes prior to the 8 November 2018 Camp Fire entering Paradise, California, and coincident with communitywide evacuations during the 30 December 2021 Marshall Fire near Boulder, Colorado. Retrospective analysis of the Kincade Fire (Sonoma County, California) on 27-28 October 2019 demonstrates potential application of IWT FRWs during a devastating run of an extended fire incident. These wildfire disasters exhibited environmental and remote sensing signals consistent with those used for successful IWT FRW demonstrations in Oklahoma and Texas. Evaluations of the IWT FRW paradigm for past fire disasters in the fire-prone American West may provide a framework for future collaborative multi-agency/disciplinary geo-targeted fire-scale warnings for dangerous and life-threatening wildfires.

Authors: Golub Barbara , Jaković Božidar , Kovačević Martina
Published: June 2024

Ongoing changes within and beyond the tourism market, especially in terms of tourism demand, have led to the emergence and growth of various subcategories and tourism products within camping tourism. One such category is caravanning, which is not only considered a lifestyle but also stands out as a vital segment of camping tourism, significantly shaping, and influencing its sustainability. This paper aims to provide an overview of previous discussions on camping tourism, with a special focus on caravanning as a leading segment within the camping tourism industry, as well as within the broader tourism sector. Moreover, it delves into the sustainability of caravan service providers and the sector. The methodology employed in this paper involves a systematic review of literature from selected databases and other online resources, comprehensively examining relevant studies that explore the caravanning tourism market and the sustainability of camping tourism and caravanning. Alongside the literature review, the paper showcases examples of campsites and caravan parks that prioritize eco-friendly practices. These establishments not only adopt sustainable business strategies such as utilizing recycled and sustainable building materials, reducing paper-based document storage, and embracing eco-friendly products but also focus on conserving energy and water, employing electric transportation, collaborating with local suppliers, implementing waste segregation, promoting traditional vegetation, and advocating for recycling and waste management.
Tranzicijski rizici klimatskih promjena: Analiza emisija stakleničkih plinova u Hrvatskoj i europodručju
Authors: Srdelić Leonarda
Published: June 2024

Kako bi identificirali sektore u Hrvatskoj koji su posebno osjetljivi na mjere Europske unije za prijelaz na niskougljično gospodarstvo, u ovom se radu analiziraju podaci Okvirne konvencije Ujedinjenih naroda o klimatskim promjenama (UNFCCC) o emisijama stakleničkih plinova. Cilj analize je prepoznati sektore koji najviše doprinose klimatskim promjenama, ocijeniti njihovu uspješnost u provođenju politika za smanjenje emisija i ostvarivanje ciljeva održivog razvoja. Na temelju toga, jasno se pokazuje da su sektori Energetika, Promet i Industrijski procesi ključni u kontekstu osjetljivosti na klimatske politike EU. Nasuprot tome, sektor Korištenje zemljišta, prenamjena zemljišta i šumarstvo pruža jedinstvene prilike za ublažavanje klimatskih promjena kroz aktivnosti pohrane ugljika, što pridonosi postizanju klimatske neutralnosti.

Authors: Utari Indah Sri , Arifin Ridwan , Sabri Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad
Published: June 2024

The tragic and heart-wrenching case of a five-year-old toddler becoming a victim of murder raises numerous questions about the circumstances leading to such a heinous act. This study provides an overview of the factors that might have contributed to this deeply distressing incident. It explores potential reasons, such as family dynamics, societal pressures, mental health issues, and the legal framework surrounding child protection. Understanding the complex interplay of these factors is essential for both preventing similar tragedies in the future and offering appropriate support to affected families. While the global COVID-19 pandemic is gradually receding, reflecting on the past two years reveals a relentless surge in cases that seemed to halt the world momentarily. Amidst the widespread reports of COVID-19 infiltrating Indonesia, the shocking occurrence of a fifteen-year-old taking the life of a five-year-old toddler in Sawah Besar Jakarta in March 2020 deeply unsettled the Indonesian populace. This incident prompts the question: what circumstances led to such a tragic event? What were the motivations driving the perpetrators’ actions? Why did a defenseless five-year-old child fall victim to murder? This study emphasizes the urgency of addressing the root causes of such acts of violence against children, shedding light on the need for comprehensive measures to protect the most vulnerable members of our society.

Published: June 2024

Bevezetés: A posztoperatív pancreasfistula mind proximalis, mind distalis pancreatectomia után a legjelentősebb sebészi szövődménynek számít. A szakirodalomban nincs egyértelműen ajánlott, megbízható módszer ezen probléma kiküszöbölésére, emiatt történnek újítások szerte a világon. Jelen közleményünkben a technikai innovációinkról számolunk be. Anyag és módszerek: 2013. január 1-jétől 2023. november 30-ig terjedő időszakban 205 Whipple-műtétet végeztünk nyitottan, mely során a pancreatojejunalis anastomosist az általunk módosított dohányzacskó-öltéses módszerrel készítettük el. 2019. január 1. és 2023. november 30. között pedig 30 betegnél történt nyitott distalis pancreatectomia, amikor a pancreascsonkot az általunk kifejlesztett technikával, szabad rectus fascia-peritoneum grafttal fedtük, majd azt cirkuláris öltéssel rögzítettük. Közleményünkben ezen két módszerrel elért eredményeket ismertetjük. Eredmények: a demográfiai adatok megfeleltek a betegségnél szokásosnak. A posztoperatív ápolási idő és a transzfúzió igény terén észlelt különbségek tükrözték a kétféle beavatkozás eltérő invazivitását. A releváns pancreasfistula kialakulási rátája kedvező képet mutatott, Whipple-műtét után 7,3% volt, míg distalis pancreatectomát követően nem fejlődött ki. A reoperációs és a halálozási arányok megfeleltek az elvártaknak és korreláltak a műtétek kiterjedtségével. Következtetés: pancreas resectiók utáni komplikációk csökkentésére tett törekvéseink során a módosított dohányzacskó-öltéses pancreatojejunostomia és a pancreascsonk fedésére kidolgozott módszerünk egyaránt kedvező eredményekkel járt.

Published: June 2024

Indonesia is a unitary state that adheres to the state ideology with an open system, a pluralistic and multicultural society, and various races, tribes, ethnicities and religions. The Indonesian state recognizes at least six religions. Lately, opinions have often emerged that mention the separation of religion from Pancasila; this is interesting to do further study. Does Pancasila conflict with religion? This research was conducted through a literature study that analyzed the Pancasila text from the perspective of preaching. Through a historical approach and content analysis, literature and references related to the objectives and focus of the research are searched for and collected. Data sources were obtained through books, journals, and observations in documentary films. Based on the discussion conducted, it can at least be concluded that the Pancasila text formulated by national figures, including Ulama, that the five principles in Pancasila contain exceptional preaching values and fundamental and principled meanings in Islamic teachings, both divinity, humanity, unity, democracy and wisdom, and justice are essential things to do and are teachings in Islam.

Quizzing Glasse
Authors: Stead Jennifer
Published: June 2024

The forthcoming publication by Prospect Books of a facsimile of the first edition of Hannah Glasse's The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy has prompted Jennifer Stead to make an extensive study of the sources used by Hannah Glasse. This shows that the source on which she drew most heavily was the voluminous but little known book first entitled The Whole Duty of a Woman and renamed with effect from its second edition The Lady's Companion. The study has also revealed interesting connections between that work and earlier books, and has thrown much light on the manner in which Hannah Glasse set about her task of making cookery 'plain and easy', by judicious adaption of and additions to the earlier material. (There were also some injudicious touches which produced hilarious results.) The upshot is a wide-ranging survey which for the first time evaluates Hannah Glasse's work on the basis of detailed research; and which at the same time illuminates the whole subject of English cookery books of the 18th century. Part I of the survey appears here, and Part II, including a table of those recipes of Hannah Glasse whose ancestry has been traced, will follow in PPC 14.

The Ethical Revolution: Challenges and Reflections in the Face of the Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Journalism
Authors: Forja-Pena Tania , García-Orosa Berta , López-García Xosé
Published: June 2024

The artificial intelligence (AI) tools in editorial departments have become common practice within news organisations, which poses challenges for digital journalism. It treads new terrain for both media professionals and their audiences, and it is safe to assume there is no going back to the way things were. These advances in the field require new frameworks and codes of ethics that include ethical principles to mitigate the use of AI in journalism. The fast incorporation of AI into media production processes is marked by a tendency towards the loss of citizens’ trust in the information that media offers, political polarization, and the increasing impact of misinformation. This article analyses the perception of communication professionals in this new scene through the analysis of 99 codes of ethics and 14 international press associations. In addition, audience perception is addressed through a survey taken by nearly 2,000 people. The results indicate that both the public and journalists are worried about misinformation that AI might cause and the potential erosion of trust between journalist and the public . Overwhelmingly, people are advocating for external regulation of its use to preserve the values, the ethical principles, and good practices of journalistic work.
ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF SIMULATION MODELING OF THE INFORMATION SECURITY SYSTEM AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS IN SERVICE NETWORKS
Authors: Ismailov B. G.
Published: June 2024

Context. An analysis of the service network shows that insufficient information security in service networks is the cause of huge losses incurred by corporations. Despite the appearance of a number of works and materials on standardization, there is currently no unified system for assessing information security in the field of information security. It should be noted that existing methods, as well as accumulated experience in this area, do not completely overcome these difficulties. This circumstance confirms that this problem has not yet been sufficiently studied and, therefore, remains relevant. The presented work is one of the steps towards creating a unified system for assessing information security in service networks.
Objective. Development of an algorithm and simulation model, analysis of simulation results to determine the key characteristics of the Information Security System, providing the capability for complete closure, through the security system, of all potential threat channels by ensuring control over the passage of all unauthorized access requests through defense mechanisms.
Method. To solve the problem, a simulation method was applied using the principles of queuing system modeling. This method makes it possible to obtain the main characteristics of the Information Security System from the unauthorized access with a limited amount of buffer memory.
Results. Algorithms, models, and methodology have been developed for the development of Information Security System from unauthorized access, considered as a single-phase multi-channel queuing system with a limited volume of buffer memory. The process of obtaining model results was implemented in the General Purpose Simulation System World modelling system, and comparative assessments of the main characteristics of the Information Security System were carried out for various laws of distribution of output parameters, i.e., in this case, unauthorized access requests are the simplest flows, and the service time obeys exponential, constant, and Erlang distribution laws.
Conclusions. The conducted experiments based on the algorithm and model confirmed the expected results when analyzing the characteristics of the Information Security System from the unauthorized access as a single-phase multi-channel queuing system with a limited waiting time for requests in the queue. These results can be used for practical construction of new or modification of existing Information Security System s in service networks of objects of various purposes. This work is one of the approaches to generalizing the problems under consideration for systems with a limited volume of buffer memory. Prospects for further research include research and development of the principles of hardware and software implementation of Information Security System in service networks.

Violence and Truth in 2022’s Epoch End: COVID-19 and Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine in the World Historical Context
Authors: Kennedy Michael D.
Published: June 2024

Objective: In this research article, I seek to explain the cultural logics and practices of narratives of global transformations and thereby demonstrate the significance of articulation and rearticulation in their constitution. I focus on cultural politics from within narratives – through the fall of 2022 – organising our sense of the COVID-19 pandemic on the one hand, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the other.
Research Design & Methods: This is a theoretical paper, with references to numerous Web articles, newspapaer articles, and some research volumes.
Findings: I conclude by reflecting on the ways in which these narratives can be rearticulated in order to develop a more global solidarity in the epoch end’s policy and practice.
Implications/Recommendations: This paper is relevant to the research into further interactions between wars and epidemics, as well as for researching the consequences of the Russian invasion into Ukraine.
Contribution/Value Added: This paper is original in presenting an insight into the connection between the COVID-19 pandemic and the violence taking place in Ukraine as of February 24th, 2022.
A democratização do governo das empresas, em especial a codeterminação. Algumas ideias quanto à sua adoção no direito português
Authors: Vasconcelos Abreu Luís
Published: June 2024

Considerando vantajosa a participação dos trabalhadores na vida da empresa, o Autor começa por recordar que o estudo dessa matéria remonta, entre nós, pelo menos, ao início da década de setenta do século passado. Foi, nessa altura, adotado o modelo alemão como referência e tal tem vindo a suceder ao longo dos tempos. Devido a não existir, no nosso país, a mesma tradição do que na Alemanha, de uma cultura de codeterminação pelos trabalhadores nas empresas, o Autor sublinha a necessidade de se avançar com cautela na transposição do referido modelo. Assim, deverão ser ponderadas as especificidades do tecido empresarial português, composto maioritariamente por micro, pequenas e médias empresas, em que é dominante a vontade dos sócios. Seguidamente, é analisada a Constituição. Uma vez que esta consagrou a participação efetiva dos trabalhadores na gestão das empresas apenas para o setor público, o Autor conclui que, no setor privado, por força da liberdade de empresa e da garantia constitucional da propriedade privada, terá de haver uma consensualização. Por último, são mencionadas algumas alterações a fazer ao Código das Sociedades Comerciais, no caso de o legislador decidir consagrar a referida codecisão. No essencial, para o Autor, a cogestão pressupõe um quadro de decisão institucionalizado, o qual, em Portugal, praticamente existirá apenas nas grandes empresas, sob a forma de sociedade anónima.

Using Drama Pedagogy to Enhance Understanding of HIV Transmission, Infection, and Prevention Among Third-Year Student Teachers
Authors: Khau Mathabo
Published: June 2024

Thirty-eight years into the HIV and AIDS pandemic, the world is still striving to reduce global HIV infections towards zero new infections and AIDS-related deaths by 2030. Sub-Saharan Africa continues to carry the burden of global HIV infections as governmental and nongovernmental agencies try out different prevention strategies (UNAIDS, 2024b). Several scholars have argued that comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is the best preventive strategy to reach youth and key populations with factual information regarding HIV and AIDS. This paper draws from the project, Mentoring as a Method to Promote Women's Health in the Context of HIV-Prevention and Unequal Gender Relations, which employed memory work, photo-voice, drama, drawings, and focus group discussions with third-year student teachers in a life orientation module. Focussing on the data generated through drama, I present an arts-based activity that was used to teach about HIV transmission to student teachers in a bid to equip them with alternative ways of teaching school-learners about HIV and AIDS. The findings highlight student teachers' lived experiences and how they have shaped their perceptions of HIV infections and living with AIDS. I argue from the findings, that arts-based pedagogies allow for enhanced understanding of complex phenomena due to their participatory and in-built intervention nature. Thus, I posit that pedagogies that employ participatory, arts-based, and visual methodologies should be extensively employed in teacher-education towards reducing new HIV infections among the youth.

Pathological manifestations on hospital unit facades: case study at the appointment center of the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, Recife - PE
Authors: Costa Lorena Vila Bela , Teixeira Bruna Correia , Monteiro Eliana Cristina Barreto , Soares Willames de Albuquerque
Published: June 2024

Facades separate the internal environment from the external environment of a building, being the element that suffers most from the action of environmental agents and, therefore, requires monitoring to guarantee its performance. In this analysis and recording process, the Damage Map can be a valuable technique as it deals with a set of documents that graphically represent problems presented by construction. With the aim of expanding the applicable contexts for the Damage Map and promoting a contribution to the University of Pernambuco, the present research aimed to determine the pathological manifestations occurring on the facades of the marking center block of the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, Recife -PE, see the presentation of their respective Damage Maps and corrected region damage factors (FDrc). The methodology involved carrying out research into the history of the building, field inspections with the aid of a fissurometer, laser tape measure and pacometer and the application of equations to calculate the FDrc in order to have a quantitative analysis. With the development of the study, it was found that the Damage Map technique has value in helping to make decisions for the maintenance plan, that with the calculation of damage factors it is possible to evaluate the degradation in relation to the regions of the facades, with the identification of possible factor relationships, and that the most common pathological manifestations were mold, mildew and dirt.
DIAGNOSTIC EFFİCACY OF NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE: NT-proBNP IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR FAILURE
Authors: Tayyar Şenol , Uysal Bayram Ali
Published: June 2024

Objective: In the general population, plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), are useful markers to predict left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Left ventricular hypertrophy in dialysis patients is exceedingly frequent and predicts mortality in these patients. LV systolic dysfunction is also frequent due to high coronary artery disease (CAD) prevalence in this population. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical diagnostic potential of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP); as an indicator for left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and left ventricular mass (LVM), in chronic hemodialysis patients.
Material and Method: 76 patients with end-stage renal disease (54 males and 22 females, mean age 60.51±13.96 years) who had been on regular hemodialysis treatment twice or three times a week were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into two groups based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Left ventricular systolic dysfunction was defined as LVEF ≤40%. Basic biochemical parameters, NT-proBNP, and echocardiographic parameters including left ventricular mass (LVM) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were measured.
Results: Mean concentration of serum NT-proBNP was 8333 (208-35000) pg/ml, and this parameter was not significantly different between the two groups (13136 (361-35000) pg/ml vs. 6617 (20-33805) pg/ml, p:0.16). Multivariate analysis results of logarithmic transformed NT-proBNP showed correlation only with RVEF. The left ventricular end-systolic diameter was significantly lower in the normal LV systolic function group (35.4±8.2 vs. 31.3±7.1 mm, p:0.04).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that NT-proBNP is inadequate to determine LV systolic dysfunction in chronic hemodialysis patients.

Se aborda el recorrido de la participación de las familias, en general, y de estas asociaciones, en particular, al amparo de las leyes educativas españolas y otros desarrollos normativos hasta la legitimación actual de su presencia en los centros. Asimismo, con el apoyo de diversas investigaciones, se analizan las barreras que obstaculizan el funcionamiento eficaz de las AMPA y les impiden avanzar más en la participación colectiva de las familias. Por último, se señalan los principales retos a los que se enfrentan los centros para reforzar la participación colectiva de las familias —especialmente en los procesos de toma de decisiones. Se pone de relieve el papel de los equipos directivos para mantener una cultura de funcionamiento democrática y participativa.
Definiendo el clima laboral. 100 años de revisión bibliográfica
Authors: Olaz Capitán Ángel
Published: June 2024

Han pasado 100 años, desde que en 1.924 Elton Mayo comenzara a estudiar qué elementos podrían contribuir a mejorar el bienestar productivo de las organizaciones. Desde entonces, el estudio del clima laboral ha sido un aspecto recurrente en diferentes especialidades de la psicología y de la sociología, sin que - en un afán por definirlo y modelizarlo - se haya concluido en este proceso. Este trabajo estudia la evolución cronológica del inconcluso constructo del clima laboral a través de cerca de 80 entradas bibliográficas y 65 definiciones. Esta diversidad de definiciones y modelos, lejos de no dar una única y mejor respuesta como quizás hubiera sido esperable, demuestran la naturaleza poliédrica del clima laboral así como la pluralidad de perspectivas, enfoques, experiencias, variables y sectores que los más de 185 autores recogidos en este trabajo han investigado sin que haya sido posible una mejor caracterización, salvo determinadas conexiones establecidas con otros elementos tales como: la cultura organizativa, la satisfacción en el puesto de trabajo, la motivación y la productividad por citar algunas de sus principales imbricaciones. A través del análisis documental realizado, se exponen los principales definiciones y modelos que lo han abordado - en muy buena medida dispersos y aislados – y se realiza una interpretación del constructo de clima laboral para aquellos investigadores que requieran de una fundamentación teórica en sus trabajos.
Kedinamikan Kuasa Pertahanan di Asia Tenggara: Analisis Terhadap Keupayaan Kapal Selam di Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam dan Singapura (Defense Power Dynamics in Southeast Asia: Analysis of Submarine Capabilities in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Singapore)
Authors: Abadi Abdul Muein
Published: June 2024

The post-Cold War era in Southeast Asia has witnessed an exponential rise in submarine proliferation, resulting in a notable surge in the count of regional submarine operators. This trend prompts the following inquiries: Why submarines being acquired by Southeast Asian powers, what is the acquisition process like, and what implications will these endeavors have? This study undertook a comparative analysis of the submarine procurement cases in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Singapore, examining official statements from government and defense authorities. The findings suggest that Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore were likely driven by deterrence and enforcement considerations, while Vietnam’s acquisition was primarily motivated by deterrence against China. These insights are highly significant as they highlight the importance for mitigating regional submarine-related risks, such as undersea conflict or accidents, by either diminishing threat perceptions among ASEAN states or exploring effective approaches to undersea domain enforcement.

Authors: Öze Nuran
Published: June 2024

Doğa olayı olarak bilinen deprem, can ve mal kayıplarına sebep olduğu zaman doğal afete dönüşmektedir. Kahramanmaraş Merkezli Depremlerde Türkiye’deki voleybol müsabakalarına katılmak üzere Kıbrıs’tan giden GTMK voleybol takım kafilesinin de olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Olayın altıncı gününde 39 kişilik kafileden dört kişinin sağ olarak kurtulduğu saptanmıştır. Bu olay, 1974 savaşı sonrasında Kıbrıslı Türklerin yaşadığı en büyük ve toplu kayıp olarak tarihe geçmiştir. Bu çalışma afet durumunda halkın medya seçimi ve kaynaklara güveni üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Kriz durumlarında iletişimin nasıl sağlandığına odaklanılan bu çalışmada Medya Zenginliği Kuramı ve Sosyal Medya Kriz İletişim Modeli temel alınmıştır. Yapılan saha araştırmasında yarı yapılandırılmış elektronik anket formlarıyla veriler toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların depremle ilgili haberleri daha yoğunluklu olarak sosyal medya üzerinden takip ettikleri, anlık ve tanıklık yapanların paylaşımlarının önem kazandığı, ana akım medya organlarına doğru habercilik konusunda güvenin çok düşük olduğu yapılan saptamalar arasındadır.
Howard Brenton’ın Lawrence After Arabia Oyununda Türk İmgesi Üzerine Post-Truth Bir Okuma
Authors: Biçer Ahmet Gökhan
Published: June 2024

Türklerin tarihi oldukça eskidir. Siyasette yalanın tarihi de. Öyle ki Türk adına değinmeden tarih yazmak ne denli olanaksızsa, yalanlardan ve entrikalardan söz etmeden siyaset tarihi yazmak da o denli olanaksızdır. Türkler, tarihin kavşak noktalarında yer alan baskın bir özne olarak görüldükleri için Batı tarafından on birinci yüzyıldan bu yana genellikle düşman ve öteki olarak nitelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda tarih boyunca değişmeyen gerçek, hiç de olumlu olmayan basmakalıp bir Türk imajının Batı literatüründe büyük ölçüde işlenmiş olmasıdır. Değişen olgu ise sömürgeci güç oyunlarının bir parçası olan bu tek taraflı kurgusal imajın adının yirmi birinci yüzyılda yalan olarak değil de post-truth olarak güncellenmesidir. Britanyalı oyun yazarı Howard Brenton da söz konusu basmakalıp imgeyi çağdaş tiyatroda sahneye taşımayı sürdüren oyun yazarlarından biridir. Bu makale, Brenton'ın Lawrence After Arabia adlı eserindeki basmakalıp Türk imgesini emperyal Batı'nın post-truth söylemi olarak incelemektedir.

Published: June 2024

Air Conditioners (AC)s are devices that balance the air exchange and humidity rate as well as provide heating/cooling functions in order to keep the temperature of the environment within the desired conditions and needs. In this study, a new fault detection and classification method for AC is proposed. The method is based on the fact that power consumptions of appliances imply significant information about the appliances’ health. Hence, according to the proposed method, power profiles of considered AC are created during its operations. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) configuration of AC is specifically designed and trained by created power profiles. Trained ANN is used to detect and classify faults in the present power profile before major malfunctions occur. Taking action against detected faults helps prevent increased power consumption and serious security issues. Performance and efficiency of the Method designed for classification and detection of errors is between 95.1% - 97.01%
APPLICATION OF THE GENERALIZED KUDRYASHOV METHOD TO THE KOLMOGOROV-PETROVSKII-PISKUNOV EQUATION
Authors: Aydın Zeynep , Taşcan Filiz
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we investigate the general solutions to the Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation using the generalized Kudryasov method. It was demonstrated that all produced answers are supplied by exponential function solutions using the symbolic computer program Maple. These solutions are helpful for fluid dynamics, optics, and other fields. Lastly, we have presented some graphs for exact solutions of these equations with special parameter values. For the development of this method, the versatility and dependability of programming offer eclectic applicability to high-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations. The obtained results provided us with valuable insights on the suitability of the novel Kudryashov technique.

The free radical and cytokine statuses of the cornea during its thermal burn and the possibility of its correction by lactoferrin have been studied in Soviet Chinchilla rabbits. The development of a corneal thermal burn was accompanied by the development of oxidative stress (increased levels of TBA-reactive substances and carbonyl derivatives of proteins, decreased activity of SOD and GPx enzymes) and a pronounced inflammatory reaction with increased levels of TNF-1α, IL-10, TGF-1β. The use of lactoferrin had a pronounced therapeutic effect, which was manifested by accelerated healing, prevention of the development of complications (corneal perforations), a decrease in the severity of oxidative stress, an increase in the concentrations of TNF-1α (in the early stages), IL-10 (in the later stages), TGF-1β (throughout the experiment). At the same time, by the end of regeneration more severe corneal opacification was recognized compared to the control group. This may be associated with an increased level of anti-inflammatory cytokines, especially TGF-1β.
Novel spiro[indoline-3,2′thiazolo[5,4-e]pyrimido[1,2-a] pyrimidine] derivatives as possible anti-dermatophytic and anti-candidiasis agent
Authors: Sharma G. , Sharma R.
Published: June 2024

A novel series of 5′-benzylidene-3′-phenylspiro[indoline-3,2′-thiazolidine]-2,4′(1H)-diones 6a-d and spiro[indoline-3,2′-thiazolo[5,4-e]pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin]-2(1H)-one 9a-d derivatives have been synthesized. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for antifungal and anti-candidiasis activity by using Disc Diffusion and Modified Microdilution methods. The antimicrobial experiments have shown that the synthesized compounds demonstrated broad-spectrum antifungal activity in vitro. Among them, compounds 9a-9d had stronger antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Candida albicans; compounds 6a-d also showed significant antifungal activity against selected fungal strains as compared to ketoconazole, the reference antifungal drug. The evaluation of antifungal activity against drug-resistant fungal variants showed that the designed compounds had significant antifungal activity against the tested variants. The combination of compounds (6a-d) and (9a-d) exhibited that the synthesized compounds had synergistic effects or additive effects. These results demonstrated that the synthesized compounds were putative chitin synthase inhibitors exhibiting broad spectrum antifungal activities. The present results indicate that novel spiro pyrimidine derivatives can be used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient for novel drug candidate for treatment of dermatophytosis and other fungal agents.

Authors: Shao Xinnan , Ying Jianfen
Published: June 2024

Social-emotional learning is an important way for the development of quality education, and together with the core competencies of the English subject, it points to the educational goal of “comprehensive development”. This article takes multiple junior high school English classroom teaching as an example to explore how to use social-emotional learning to guide English teaching, enhance students’ social-emotional abilities, achieve character and ability development, and promote the improvement of core competence from three aspects: using real problems, using authentic tasks, and using realistic assessments. Teachers can introduce real problems and create real discourse situations to lead students to have in-depth emotional experiences. Teachers can design authentic tasks that are related to students’ real-life situations and guide students to complete teaching tasks and solve problems while exploring the cultural connotations behind them, so as to realize the integration of language and culture. Teachers can organize authentic and diversified teaching evaluations to cultivate students to become warm and thoughtful learners.
A Review of Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Focused Discussion of Anxiety Comorbidity in ADHD
Authors: Li Yilin
Published: June 2024

This review examines the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), focusing on longitudinal treatment effects of medication and behavioural treatments for children with ADHD, and delves into the often-overlooked aspect of anxiety comorbidity. Initiated in the 1990s, the study spans over 16 years, documenting various treatment effects on symptom severity and social functions of children with ADHD. The findings suggest that while medication is generally more effective for ADHD, current treatments do not fully normalize patients. The paper emphasizes ADHD as a developmental disorder causing ongoing executive function impairment and emotional burdens for patients and their families. Notably, it addresses ADHD's multiple comorbidities, with a central focus on anxiety comorbidity, which contributes to behavioural and academic challenges and can impair functioning into adulthood. The review combs the main findings from the MTA study and its follow-ups based on time sequence, offering insights into optimizing ADHD treatments. The interplay of ADHD and anxiety symptoms and their joint impact on treatment effectiveness are critically analyzed. This paper not only sheds light on the complexities of treating ADHD, particularly in the presence of anxiety comorbidity but also highlights the need for more focused research in this area to develop more effective, tailored treatment strategies.
