KOGNITÍV METAFORÁK A BESZÉLT NYELVI ÉLETTÖRTÉNETEKBEN
Authors: SZABÓ LAKI Boglárka
Published: December 2024

A kognitív metaforaelmélet szerint a metafora a nyelv funkcionálásának alapvető módja, a gondolkodás és a megértés elengedhetetlen eszköze, egyben tükrözi az ember megismerési és gondolkodási folyamatait. A metaforák nemcsak retorikai eszközök, hanem áthatják mindennapi kommunikációnkat. A dolgozat vajdasági magyar nők beszélt nyelvi élettörténetében vizsgálja a metaforikus gondolkodás alakzatait kognitív metaforaelméleti keretben. Feltárja az élettörténethez kapcsolódó fogalmi séma egyes elemeinek metaforikus konceptualizációját, valamint feltérképezi a gyakori forrástartományokat. A narratívák jellegéből adódóan a metaforák megvilágítják az élettörténetek fontos eseményeinek, fogalmainak elménkben, gondolatainkban való képszerű megjelenését, betekintést nyújtanak a világ értelmezésébe.

Az Orpheus rejtett programja
Authors: DEBRECZENI Attila
Published: December 2024

A tanulmány Kazinczy folyóirata, az Orpheus programjának hátterében felfedezhető szabadkőműves vonatkozásokat igyekszik megrajzolni. Az Orpheus első száma és az 1789 decemberében vele párhuzamosan készült Hivatalba vezető beszéd összefüggései a tanfelügylő és a szerkesztő törekvéseinek egységét mutatják meg, az Aranka Györgyhöz és BatthyányStrattmann Alajoshoz írott 1790. márciusi és 1791. januári levelek pedig e nyilvánosság előtt megjelenő programos gondolkodás kapcsolatát Kazinczy szabadkőművességről alkotott ideális elképzelésével. Az első levél még a program megvalósításának kezdetén íródott, a második nem sokkal annak végső ellehetetlenülése előtt, egy utolsó kísérletként megújítására. Hamarosan azonban Kazinczy mint tanfelügyelő és mint szerkesztő is pályafutása végére ért.
Egy vegyszerismertető márkaneveinek szemantikai elemzése
Authors: SÓLYOM Réka
Published: December 2024

A tanulmány egy magyar nyelvű szakszöveg, a Pontaqua Vegyszerismertető termékelnevezései, márkanevei közül elemez olyan példákat, amelyekben fonológiai-szemantikai játékosság, többletjelentés hívja fel a vásárlók figyelmét a termékre. Ezeknek az alakulatoknak a létrehozásában a márkanév megalkotóinak feltehetőleg az volt a szándéka, hogy felkeltsék a vásárlók figyelmét, segítsék a termékek nevének megjegyzését, egyes esetekben humoros hatást érjenek el. Az elemzésekre funkcionális kognitív nyelvészeti keretben kerül sor. Az elemzések először röviden bemutatják a vizsgálandó elnevezést, jellemzik a vegyszert, amelyet jelöl az elnevezés, majd a fogalmi integrációs elmélet (blendingelmélet) keretében szöveges és grafikus elemzést közölnek. Kitérnek a fonológiai és a szemantikai jellemzőkre, valamint figyelembe veszik a márkanevekben megjelenő más szemantikai jellemzőket, így például a metonimikusság megjelenését is, amely több esetben is feltűnik az elnevezésekben.
Filmfeliratban szereplő betűszók fordítása
Authors: IMRE Attila
Published: December 2024

Tanulmányunk bevezető része a rövidítések és betűszók aktualitásával indít, majd elhatároljuk a betűszókat a rövidítésektől, kitérve az akronímia és inicializmus közötti különbségre is. A betűszók vizsgálatára egy algoritmust fejlesztettünk ki, amelyet a Kijelölt túlélő tévésorozat első évadjának angol és magyar betűszóinak keresésénél és adatbázisba gyűjtéséhez használtunk. Az adatbázis 128 egyéni angol betűszót tartalmaz 536 előfordulással, míg a magyar változat 70 egyéni betűszót 301 előfordulással. Megvizsgáljuk és példákkal szemléltetjük a gyakori fordítási stratégiákat, de tárgyaljuk azokat a helyesírási problémákat is, melyekre példát is találtunk az adatbázisban. A következtető rész a minőségbiztosítás fontossága mellett érvel, de felvillantja a lehetséges jövőt is, amikor kétféle szöveggel is találkozhatunk: betűszós vagy betűszómentes variánsban.
Sports Ethics Issues Among Young Adults Participating in Competitive Sports
Authors: BARCSI Tamás , FILÓ Csilla
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Our research’s essential goal was to clarify the most relevant association between sports and ethics from a theoretical aspect. In our questionnaire, we sought to know how basic moral concepts impact amateur competitive athletes and those involved in professional sports. Additionally, we pursued the moral principles athletes consider important, and if they disregard these principles once victory is within their grasp. Lastly, we examined how often athletes confront the most serious moral (and legal) levels of abuse.
Material and methodology: The acquisition of data regarding our cross-sectional research was conducted using a self-compiled questionnaire. The anonymous questionnaire was completed by 123 amateur and professional athletes ranging from 18 to 25 years of age. The data processing was performed using a double sample t-test, Levene’s test, variant analysis and the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: Within our research it was proven female and male respondents vary in their interpretation of success and a significant portion of questionnaire respondents rejected the use of performance enhancing drugs. In reference to the interpretation of moral principles, we found differences among those involved in individual sports and team sports. Furthermore, it was proven that members of the technical staff most frequently commit physical abuse against athletes.
Conclusions: The success orientation regarding individual athletes is presumably influenced by the absence of the personality-forming effects of team cohesion. Presumably, amateur athletes adhere far better to the Code of Sports Ethics (revised Recommendation no. Rec [92] 14) than when compared with their professional colleagues. Simultaneously, athletes from both categories deem the official recognition of Fair Play important and integral regarding competitive sports.
Implementing levels of physical violence has a serious effect upon athletes, since the methodology and moral norms of a given team’s management and staff is highly important. Differences regarding the concept of success among male and female athletes also reflect the differences between the reactions to moral challenges. The spread of doping as witnessed in non-professional sport may lead to the conclusion in which amateurs do not condemn the use of these substances more than their professional colleagues.
A DIGITÁLIS SZÖVEGEK OLVASÁSI STRATÉGIÁI, AVAGY A HIPERTEXT ÚTVESZTŐI
Authors: TÖRTELI TELEK Márta , SZŰTS Zoltán
Published: December 2024

A digitális szövegek képernyőről történő olvasása alapjaiban változtatta meg a hagyományosan verbalitásra épülő szövegértési és szövegalkotási módokat, magát a társadalmi kommunikációt, ami óriási felelősséget ró az oktatásra, a pedagógusokra. Ezt az olvasási mintázatot kimutathatóan befolyásolja a weblap típusa, de az olvasó célja is meghatározó tényező. Az újfajta szövegek és képek megértése, jelentésrétegeik feltárása új kihívások elé állítják a felhasználókat, az olvasókat. Felvetődik a kérdés, hogy a digitális térben megjelenő szövegek megértésére milyen új szövegértési stratégiáink vannak, milyen szerepük van a bennük fellelhető vizuális elemeknek stb. Tanulmányunkban – ennek megfelelően – a digitális olvasás jellemzőit tárjuk fel, a nyomtatott és a digitális szövegek közötti hasonlóságokat és különbségeket ragadjuk meg, és a vizuális tartalmakkal kiegészített, online térben létrejött szövegeket, továbbá az ezekhez kapcsolódó új szövegértési folyamatokat, az eltérő műveleti feldolgozást vizsgáljuk, sőt ezen stratégiák fejlesztési lehetőségeit is bemutatjuk; a kritikai olvasás, a reflexív magatartás jegyében.
A SZAVAK BECSÜLETE
Authors: PLETL Rita
Published: December 2024

A tanulmány témája az online sajtó követéses vizsgálatának egy, a lexikológia, szemantika és stilisztika által körülhatárolt szeletéhez kapcsolódik. Arra vállalkozom, hogy az erdélyi magyar online média hírszövegeiben a szóválasztás és szójelentés közötti összefüggéseket vizsgáljam a helyénvalóság szemszögéből. A címben szereplő, Karinthy pamfletjére utaló szerkezettel („szavak becsülete”) azt szeretném hangsúlyozni, hogy a szójelentés alakulásának (változásának, módosulásának) azokat az eseteit próbálom feltérképezni, amelyek „rontják” a szavak hitelét; amelyek azért minősülhetnek szabályszegő alaknak, mert az alkalmi jelentés szokásostól eltérése nem stilisztikai hatást, hanem pontatlan, zavaros, vagy értelmezhetetlen nyelvi kifejezésformát eredményez.

Authors: SZABÓ Orsolya Edit
Published: December 2024

Tanulmányomban az 5. osztályos tanulók anyanyelvi kommunikációhoz szükséges készségeinek és ismereteinek vizsgálatával foglalkozom. Ezek bemutatása és értékelése révén ismertetem a magyar nyelv és irodalom tantárgy keretein belül megvalósítható élményközpontú szövegértés-szövegalkotás alapú kompetenciafejlesztést, kitérve a digitális szövegfeldolgozás sajátosságaira. Hipertextuális verselemző módszert dolgoztam ki, mely az új infokommunikációs eszközök rendszerszerű használatára épül. Az alternatív módszer első szakaszában a diákok önállóan hoznak létre hipermediális tartalmakat, vers-sztorit. Kreativitásukat kiélve digitális tartalommal töltik meg a papíralapú verset. A második szakaszban a gyerekek által választott szövegrészlet nyelvi szintek szerinti elemzése történik, közösen az osztállyal. Majd a rész–egész vizsgálata által a teljes vers értelmezésével és egy közös hipertextuális narratíva megalkotásával zárul a projekt. Az Új Nemzeti Kiválóság Program Doktori Hallgatói Ösztöndíj keretében saját hipertextuális verselemző módszerem hatásait közel fél éven át vizsgáltam. A kutatás legfőbb kérdései a következők: Hogyan hat a háromlépcsős vers-sztori projekt az 5. osztályos tanulók szövegértési/szövegalkotási készségére? A hipertextuális verselemző módszer hogyan befolyásolja a diákok digitális kompetenciáját?

Authors: Özkan Melisa , Kasapoğlu Esin
Published: December 2024

Günümüzün zorlu pazar koşullarında, çalışma ortamının çalışanlar için uygunluğu, çalışanların memnuniyet, moral ve güdülenme düzeyleri, işverenlerin örgütün başarısı için dikkat etmesi gereken unsurlardır. Çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'nin iki farklı bölgesinde, iki farklı kentte görev yapan mimarların güdülenme düzeylerini karşılaştırmaktır. Bu araştırma, Frederick Herzberg'in Çift Etmen Kuramında ortaya koyduğu etmenlerden yola çıkarak tasarım ofislerinde çalışan mimarların güdülenme düzeylerine odaklanmaktadır. Herzberg’in kuramında işteki yeterlilik, başarı, tanınma ve takdir gibi içsel (hijyen) ve çalışma koşulları ile işletme politikaları gibi dışsal güdülenme etmenleri olmak üzere iki ana etmen belirlenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında, İstanbul ve Gaziantep'teki tasarım ofislerinde çalışan mimarların güdülenme düzeylerini ortaya çıkarmak için anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre Gaziantepli katılımcıların güdülenme ortalamaları çoğu etmende İstanbullu katılımcılara göre daha iyi durumda olup, Gaziantep'teki mimarlık ofislerinde çalışanların güdülenme düzeyleri daha yüksektir. Öte yandan araştırmadan elde edilen bir başka sonuç ise, kuramın tersine dış etmenlerin en az iç etmenler kadar önemli olduğunu göstermektedir.
Assessing the Acoustic Comfort Conditions of a Historical Mosque: Pergamon Great Mosque
Authors: Yelkenci Sert Fatma , Yılmaz Karaman Özgül
Published: December 2024

The acoustics of historical mosques are essential cultural heritages that should be protected as carefully as their architectural features. The Pergamon Great Mosque is one of the few large-volume historical worship buildings nearby. Some researchers, especially historians, have studied this mosque. Since the acoustic comfort conditions of the mosque have not yet been studied, the analysis of objective acoustic parameters in the mosque according to ISO 3382 led to the study. The article aims to document its acoustics as an intangible cultural heritage and to analyze the current acoustic conditions of the mosque through background noise levels, T30, D50, C80, STI, and SPLA parameters. When the measurement results are compared with optimum values, it is revealed that the mosque is suitable for music functions. Moreover, the parameter values related to speech are also close to the optimum values. The reason for this situation can be explained by the fact that the renovations have not changed the original physical environment of the mosque. The SPL-A measured at the receiver points are close to each other (except for the women's worship area), and it is thought that the curvilinear forms used on the upper cover and the niches on the walls have a positive effect on the homogeneous distribution.

Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmada yenilebilir bir mantar türü olan Craterellus cornucopioides biyokütlesinin sulu çözeltilerden Kongo kırmızısının biyosorpsiyonunda biyosorbent olarak kullanımı araştırılmıştır. Biyosorbentin karakterizasyonu gerçekleştirildikten sonra biyosorpsiyon koşulları optimize edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre 0,01 g biyosorbent miktarı kullanılarak pH: 6,0’da 25 ⁰C ortam sıcaklığında 2 saatlik biyosorpsiyonun ardından biyosorpsiyon kapasitesi (qe) 150 mg/L başlangıç Kongo kırmızısı derişimi için 46,22±2,14 mg/g olarak bulunmuştur. Biyosorpsiyonun doğasının aydınlatılabilmesi için biyosorpsiyon izotermleri, biyosorpsiyon kinetiği ve termodinamiği araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen deneysel sonuçların kullanılmasıyla hesaplanan fizikokimyasal parametrelere göre, biyosorpsiyon prosesinin Freundlich izoterm modeline ve yalancı-ikinci derece kinetik modele uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Proses ekzotermik karakterde ve kendiliğinden oluşmaktadır. Son olarak biyosorpsiyon-desorpsiyon çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiş ve kullanılan biyosorbentin etkin bir şekilde tekrar kullanılabileceği gösterilmiştir. Hazırlanan biyosorbentin sulu çözeltilerden boyar madde gideriminde ucuz, verimli ve etkin bir biyosorbent olacağı düşünülmektedir.

A Novel Method for Monitoring Notified Bodies Designated under The European Union Medical Device Regulation
Authors: Bayrak Tuncay
Published: December 2024

Notified bodies, which perform conformity assessments, play a crucial role in protecting patient health and providing access to safety products on the market. The EU 2017/745 Medical Device Regulation (MDR) brings stricter rules and responsibilities for notified bodies. Designating authorities (DAs), who are also responsible for monitoring notified bodies, have not been provided with any guidance documents or written procedures. In this study, for the first time, we proposed a methodology aided by a digital system to monitor notified bodies effectively. We conducted a need analysis based on the MDR requirements and the relevant guidance documents, and we introduced a six-component technique for monitoring of the medical device notified bodies. Then, we identified the subcriteria of each component and created business activity diagrams for the main processes to monitor the notified bodies. There are now forty-eight notified bodies available under the MDR. Our monitoring approach consists of six steps that cover all NB-related activities, such as review of technical documentation assessment, personnel authorization, and surveillance of the certified product on the market. The proposed system complies with the MDR requirements and handles all critical performance indicators of NBs. The new MDR requirements for NBs also require an advanced monitoring system for DAs. This study focused on the critical points for monitoring NBs. Member states should implement the proposed methodology and the activity diagrams to have an efficient monitoring system in accordance with MDR requirements. A similar system can be used for monitoring of the other conformity assessment bodies.
Karotis Sinüs Baroreseptörlerinin Kronik Uyarılmasının Arter Basıncı Üzerine Etkisinin Matematik Model Kullanılarak Analizi
Authors: Caymaz Sibel , Karaaslan Fatih
Published: December 2024

İnsan vücudunda arteriyel kan basıncı arttığında ya da azaldığında arter duvarlarında yerleşmiş halde bulunan baroreseptörler gerilerek merkezi sinir sistemine arter basıncını düşürecek ya da yükseltecek sinyaller gönderirler. Karotis sinüs baroreseptörlerinin elektriksel olarak uyarılmasıyla kan basıncının azaldığı deneysel çalışmalar mevcuttur ancak bunun gerçekleşmesini sağlayan mekanizmalar tam olarak tanımlanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada karotis sinüs baroreseptörlerinin kronik uyarılmasının arter basıncı ve idrar sodyum debisi üzerine etkisi uzun dönemli dolaşım sistemi matematik modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Modele göre karotis baroreseptörlerinin kronik uyarılmasında böbrekten sodyum atılımının azalmasının sebebi glomerüler filtrasyon hızının azalmasıdır. Diğer bir deyişle, arter damar direnci azaldığında, azalan arter kan basıncının glomerüler filtrasyon hızını azaltıcı etkisi, azalmış böbrek sempatik sinir aktivitesinin glomerüler filtrasyon hızını artırıcı etkisinden fazladır.
Bazı Solanaceae Familyası Üyelerinin Çimlenme ve Bitki Gelişimine Boya Atık Suyunun Etkileri
Authors: Çatak Ercan , Korkmaz Ferhan
Published: December 2024

Yaşadığımız yüzyılda en önemli problemlerden bir tanesi çevre kirliliğidir. Endüstriyel üretimlerin artmasıyla birlikte çevreye salınan endüstriyel atık su miktarı da giderek artmaktadır. Bu nedenle atık suların çevre ve canlılar üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi de giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Atık sularda bulunan ağır metaller toksisitenin başlıca sebeplerinden birisidir. Bu etkileri ortaya koyabilmek için kullanılan etkin yöntemlerden biri tohum çimlendirme ve bitki gelişimi deneyleridir. Bu çalışmada kullanılan boya endüstrisi atık suyu %100’den %1’e kadar altı farklı konsantrasyonda çalışılmıştır. Su örneklerinin toksik etkileri Solanaceae familyasına ait Lycopersicum esculentum Mill. cv. H-2274 (domates) ve Capsicum annuum L. cv. Ilıca 256 (biber) bitki tohumları üzerinde denenerek belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Atık suyun konsantrasyon artışına bağlı olarak hem çimlenmeyi hem de gelişimi olumsuz etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Denenen her iki bitki tohumunda boya atık suyunun yüksek serilerde (%25, %50, %75 ve %100) tohum çimlenmesini durdurarak toksik etki gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. %1 ve %10’luk serilerde ise kontrole göre Vigor İndeksleri (VI) ve kök uzunluklarının azaldığı saptanmıştır. Kök ve hipokotil yaş ve kuru ağırlıklarının bazılarında azalma görülürken bazılarında ise değerler aynı kalmıştır.

Mapping of planation surfaces in the north-central Amazonia
Authors: Mantovani José Roberto , Bueno Guilherme Taitson
Published: December 2024

This study aims to identify planation surfaces and their dissected reliefs in the Amazon, starting from the highlands of the border between Brazil, Venezuela and Guiana and ending near the axis of the Amazon River. Its connection with associated surface formations (regoliths) was also evaluated. The input data for the execution of the algorithm used were generated via geoprocessing techniques, which enabled the identification of five planation surfaces: a summit surface, which was associated with the Gondwana surface, from 855 to 2,745 m; a second surface (525–854 m), associated with the Post-Gondwana surface; a third surface, from 279 to 524 m, associated with the South American surface; a fourth surface, from 114 to 278 m, associated with the Velhas I surface (Early Velhas), and a fifth surface, associated with the Velhas II surface (Late Velhas). Thin soils predominate in the first three surfaces, and their presence is attributed to the erosion of the original surface formations with exposure of rock or iron crusts. The two lower surfaces present greater diversity of soils mainly due to the heterogeneity of soil hydrological conditions. In addition to Latossolos (Oxisols) and Argissolos (Ultisols), which are dominant, there are Espodossolos (Spodosols), Plintossolos (Plinthosols), Gleissolos (Gleysols) and Planossolos (Planosols).

Indonesia's population and economic growth must be supported by adequate facilities and infrastructure, including residences and business premises. Renovating residential houses into shophouses offers an effective way to optimize land use and reduce construction costs. A thorough evaluation of existing structural elements is critical to determining which components can be retained, alongside accurate cost and scheduling assessments to ensure smooth renovation. This research utilizes Building Information Modeling (BIM) to integrate structural, architectural, and MEP work, as well as to streamline scheduling and cost estimation. ETABS is employed for structural design, while Autodesk Revit and Navisworks are used for cost and schedule planning. The assessment follows ASCE 41-17 guidelines to evaluate existing structures, and SNI 1726:2019 and SNI 2847:2019 standards for retrofitting and designing new structures. The evaluation reveals deficiencies in global strength and component ductility, necessitating structural retrofits using concrete jacketing. This study not only addresses the renovation of a residential house into a shophouse but also contributes to broader research in construction. The estimated cost for the structural renovation is Rp. 159,692,607.93, and the duration is projected at 58 days, with 11 days for demolition and 47 days for upper structure construction.

Conventional construction methods have proven inadequate for meeting the accelerated development needs of IKN, highlighting the necessity for innovative approaches to expedite construction. Additionally, challenges related to material supply further exacerbate the situation. The Mobox method emerges as a promising alternative, offering potential to streamline project completion. This study compares time performance between conventional concrete methods, which typically require 7 months, and the Mobox method, which achieves the same in 4 months. The aim is to evaluate whether time and cost performance align with the project owner's expectations, using the Earned Value Management (EVM) method for a 4-storey building project utilizing Mobox modular construction. At week 16, the project’s time performance met expectations, as evidenced by a Schedule Variance (SV) of zero and a Schedule Performance Index (SPI) of 1. Cost performance also exceeded expectations, with a positive Cost Variance (CV) of Rp 11,784,790,045.29 and a Cost Performance Index (CPI) of 1.023, indicating cost efficiency. The Mobox method, coupled with the EVM approach, proves to be an effective and efficient alternative for construction projects, demonstrating the capability to complete projects on time and within budget while maintaining quality.
Which gene combination to test in wet lab? A peda- gogical walkthrough of R code mechanics of search engine for biologists/oncologists, using example of ETC-1922159 treated CRC static data

Often, in biology, we are faced with the problem of exploring relevant unknown biological hy-
potheses in the form of myriads of combination of factors that might be affecting the pathway under certain conditions. Currently, a major persisting problem is to cherry pick the combinations based on expert advice, literature survey or guesses for investigation. This entails investment in time, energy and expenses at various levels of research. To address these issues, a search engine design was recently published, which showed promise by revealing existing confirmatory published wet lab results. Additionally and of import, an adaptation of the published engine mined up a range of unexplored/untested/unknown combinations of genetic factors in the Wnt pathway that were affected by ETC-1922159 enantiomer, a PORCN-WNT inhibitor, after the colorectal can- cer cells were treated with the inhibitor drug. Here, the R code of the search engine is explained that will help biologists/oncologists to understand how gene combinations can be ranked. Using this engine they will be able to find combinations which they might want to test in wet lab. Further, they will not have to struggle to search for unknown/unexplored combinations of genes/protiens working in a phenomena.
Gastric Perforation from Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation Resulting in Tension Pneumoperitoneum and Arterial Insufficiency

Published: December 2024

We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who suffered gastric perforation after receiving bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation in the setting of alcohol intoxication. She had a markedly distended abdomen and cold, dusky lower extremities upon arrival to the emergency department. Imaging revealed a large volume intraabdominal accumulation of air with compression of the aorta. Needle decompression relieved symptoms of lower extremity arterial insufficiency. However, the patient quickly decompensated and subsequent exploratory laparotomy confirmed gastric rupture. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed but the patient ultimately passed on post-operative day two due to multi-organ dysfunction. Although BVM ventilation is commonplace in both the hospital and field, there is a lack of awareness of the serious complications of abdominal air accumulation due to their rareness in the adult population. Checking for abdominal distention during resuscitation ought to be routine in all patients. Signs of arterial insufficiency accompanying abdominal distention, once confirmed by diagnostic imaging that shows extensive pneumoperitoneum, are indicators of having reached a life-threatening level of air accumulation, calling for immediate needle decompression and exploratory laparotomy.

Published: December 2024

Climate change poses a significant threat to European security, implicitly to Romania’s naval forces in the Black Sea. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification impact maritime operations, infrastructure, and personnel, with potential ramifications for regional stability. This paper explores the implications of climate change for the Romanian Navy and proposes "Green Defence" strategies to enhance resilience and sustainability. These strategies encompass energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, sustainable procurement, and the application of advanced functional materials in naval operations and infrastructure. By adopting a proactive and multifaceted approach, the Romanian Navy can adapt to the changing climate, ensuring operational effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact. This approach aligns with broader European security concerns and contributes to a more sustainable and resilient defence posture in the face of climate-related challenges.
Modeling and Predicting Self-Organization in Dynamic Systems Out of Thermodynamic Equilibrium; Part 1
Authors: Brouillet Matthew , Georgiev Georgi Y
Published: December 2024

Self-organization in complex systems is a process associated with reduced internal entropy and the emergence of structures that may enable the system to function more effectively in its environment and in a more competitive way with other states of the system or with other systems. This phenomenon typically occurs in the presence of energy gradients, facilitating energy transfer and entropy production. As a dynamic process, self-organization is best studied using dynamic measures and principles. The principles of minimizing unit action, entropy, and information while maximizing their total values are proposed as some of the dynamic variational principles guiding self-organization. Based on these principles, average action efficiency (AAE) is introduced as a potential quantitative measure of self-organization, reflecting the system’s efficiency as the ratio of events to total action per unit of time. Positive feedback loops link AAE to other system characteristics, potentially explaining power-law relationships and exponential growth patterns observed in complex systems. To explore this framework, we apply it to agent-based simulations of ants navigating between two locations on a 2D grid. The principles align with observed self-organization dynamics, and the results appear to support the model. By analyzing action efficiency, this study seeks to address fundamental questions about the nature of self-organization and system organization, such as "Why and how complex systems self-organize? What is organization and how organized is a system?". These findings suggest that the proposed models offer a useful perspective for understanding and potentially improving the design of complex systems.

The widespread adoption of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools in higher education has necessitated the development of appropriate and ethical usage guidelines. This study aims to explore and assess publicly available guidelines covering the use of GenAI tools in universities, following a predefined checklist. We searched and downloaded publicly accessible guidelines on the use of GenAI tools from the websites of the top 50 universities globally, according to the 2025 QS university rankings. From the literature on GenAI use guidelines, we created a 24-item checklist, which was then reviewed by a panel of experts. This checklist was used to assess the characteristics of the retrieved university guidelines. Out of the 50 university websites explored, guidelines were publicly accessible on the sites of 41 institutions. All these guidelines allowed for the use of GenAI tools in academic settings provided that specific instructions detailed in the guidelines were followed. These instructions encompassed securing instructor consent before utilization, identifying appropriate and inappropriate instances for deployment, employing suitable strategies in classroom settings and assessment, appropriately integrating results, acknowledging and crediting GenAI tools, and adhering to data privacy and security measures. However, our study found that only a small number of the retrieved guidelines offered instructions on the AI algorithm (understanding how it works), the documentation of prompts and outputs, AI detection tools, and mechanisms for reporting misconduct. Higher education institutions should develop comprehensive guidelines and policies for the responsible use of GenAI tools. These guidelines must be frequently updated to stay in line with the fast-paced evolution of AI technologies and their applications within the academic sphere.

Published: December 2024

Background/Objectives: In the absence of physiological mechanisms to excrete exceeding iron, the administration of an iron-chelation therapy is necessary. Age and hormones have an impact on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of medications used to treat iron excess, resulting in notable sex and gender-related variances. Methods: Here we aimed to review the literature on sex and gender in iron overload assessment and treatment. Results: The development of iron chelators has shown to be a successful therapy for lowering the body's iron levels and averting the tissue damage and organ failure that follows. Numerous studies describe how individual factors can impact the chelation treatment, potentially impact the therapeutic response, and/or result in inadequate chelation or elevated toxicity; however, most of the data do not consider male and female as different group and, particularly, effect of woman hormonal variation were never considered. Conclusions: An effective iron chelation treatment should take into account sex and gender differences.

The Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a common feature in early cancer invasion. Increased vimentin is a canonical marker of the EMT, however, the role of vimentin in EMT remains unknown. To clarify this, we induced EMT in lung cancer cells with TGF-β1, followed by treatment with the vimentin-targeting drug ALD-R491, live-cell imaging and quantitative proteomics. We identified 838 proteins in the intermediate filament fraction of cells. TGF-β1-treatment increased the proportion of vimentin in this fraction, and the levels of 24 proteins. Variants of fibronectin showed the most pronounced, 137-fold increase, followed by regulators of the cytoskeleton, cell motility and division, such as the mRNA-splicing protein SON. TGF-β1 increased cell spreading, cell migration speed and changed a positive correlation between cell migration speed and persistence to negative. ALD-R491 reversed these mesenchymal phenotypes to epithelial and the binding of RNA-binding proteins, including SON. These findings present ALD-R491 as a possible EMT-inhibitor and describe how EMT and vimentin dynamics influence the interactome of intermediate filaments. The observations support the hypothesis that the dynamic turnover of vimentin filaments and their interacting proteins govern mesenchymal cell migration, EMT, cell invasion and cancer metastasis.
The Stability Evaluation of Ceria Slurry Using Polymer Dispersants with Varying Contents for Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) Process

Published: December 2024

The CMP (chemical mechanical polishing/planarization) technique is a process used manufacturing to smooth and flatten the surface of a wafer by combining chemical reaction and mechanical force in semiconductor. This technique helps to achieve the desired surface quality and planarity required for subsequent layers and processing steps. However, the aggregation of slurry particles caused by abrasive materials can lead to scratches, defects, and increased surface roughness, degradation the quality and durability of the finished surface in milling processes during the CMP process. In this study, prepared ceria slurry using varying contents with 5, 6 and 7 wt.% (denoted by D5, D6 and D7), respectively, adapted with zinc salt of ethylene acrylic acid (EAA) copolymer to minimize the issue of particle aggregation commonly observed in CMP slurry. All samples characterized by pH, particle size, conductivity and viscosity to evaluate physico-chemical properties compared to commercial polymer dispersant. It was confirmed that the particle size of the CMP slurry decreased according to as the polymer dispersant content increased, such as 281.6 nm of 5%, 6% polymer dispersant at 251.8 nm, and 7% polymer dispersant at 227.2 nm, respectively. Among of them, prepared D7 sample showed smaller particle size than commercial ceria slurry. This was attributed to the influence of the carboxyl groups (-COOH) of the poly-acrylic acid polymer coated on the surface of the ceria particles. It is believed that the polymer dispersant more effectively adsorbs onto the particle surfaces, resulting in increased electrostatic repulsion between particles and a subsequent reduction in particle size. Furthermore, the stability tests of prepared slurry was evaluated by extreme conditions for three months at 25 °C (opened and closed condition), 4 °C, and 60 °C, respectively. It was observed that, the D7 slurry remained stable without significant changes. In addition to, the prepared D7 ceria slurry exhibited a slightly higher RR comparison with commercial slurry, which and be attributed to the fact that the ceria nanoparticles consists of smaller particle sizes than those in the commercial slurry. This suggests that the ceria colloidal stability of the prepared D7 sample is maintained better compared to commercial and D5 and D6 ceria slurry.
