Authors: Pan Yan , Jiao Fu-Yong
Published: December 2024

This study aims to evaluate the performance of six distinct Z-score formulas in diagnosing coronary artery dilation in Kawasaki disease (KD) patients, with a focus on their clinical applicability across diverse populations. A retrospective analysis was conducted using comparative statistical methods to assess the sensitivity and specificity of each formula. The Kobayashi and Dallaire formulas demonstrated the highest sensitivity in China, particularly in younger patients with prolonged fever duration. Our findings provide evidence-based recommendations for selecting Z-score formulas to optimize diagnostic precision in KD patients.
Genetic and epigenetic alterations associated with gestational diabetes mellitus and adverse neonatal outcomes
Authors: Shamsad Amreen , Gautam Tanu , Singh Renu , Banerjee Monisha
Published: December 2024

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder, recognised during 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. GDM is linked with adverse newborn outcomes such as macrosomia, premature delivery, metabolic disorder, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders. Recent investigations have focused on the correlation of genetic factors such as β-cell function and insulin secretary genes (transcription factor 7 like 2, potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily q member 1, adiponectin etc. ) on maternal metabolism during gestation leading to GDM. Epigenetic alterations like DNA methylation, histone modification, and miRNA expression can influence gene expression and play a dominant role in feto-maternal metabolic pathways. Interactions between genes and environment, resulting in differential gene expression patterns may lead to GDM. Researchers suggested that GDM women are more susceptible to insulin resistance, which alters intrauterine surroundings, resulting hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Epigenetic modifications in genes affecting neuroendocrine activities, and metabolism, increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in offspring. There is currently no treatment or effective preventive method for GDM, since the molecular processes of insulin resistance are not well understood. The present review was undertaken to understand the pathophysiology of GDM and its effects on adverse neonatal outcomes. In addition, the study of genetic and epigenetic alterations will provide lead to researchers in the search for predictive molecular biomarkers.

Comparative Analysis of Lithium Battery Industries Between the United States and China
Authors: Yang Qizheng
Published: December 2024

This paper concentrates on a comprehensive assessment of the lithium battery industry in China and the United States, covering differences in policies, technologies, and market conditions analytically. Both nations are critical parts of the global energy transition, lithium batteries being major facilitators for the achievement of clean energy objectives. China has been mainly pushed to overtake the position of the world's largest lithium battery producer due to government-led initiatives, and aggressive policies, accompanied by a rapidly growing electric market. On the other hand, while the United States tends for technology to advance, the product should not be considered as effective progress, which is more dependent on market policies and international business partner relationships. The main national issues faced by the US include the vulnerability of supply chains, alongside the excessive dependence on imports from other countries, particularly China. Yet, the most recent legislative actions (i.e., the Inflation Reduction Act) under the auspices of the government's objective of boosting domestic production and overcoming foreign suppliers' monopoly status are. The analysis assists in showing the two countries' methods, problems, and possibility of joint ventures to develop innovation in the global lithium battery industry.

sarcofagi dei Santi Vitale e Agricola
Authors: Calzona Arturo
Published: December 2024

The aim of the contribution is to re-read the events in Bologna of the 11th and 12th centuries concerning the cathedral of San Pietro and the monastery of Santo Stefano / Sancta Jerusalem, starting from the discovery of the relics found in 1141. Attention was paid to their movement from one building to another within the monastery and to the fluctuating dedication of the churches, but also to the relocation of the relics in the Cathedral of San Pietro. The sarcophagi preserved in the church of Saints Vitale and Agricola are then re-examined, tracing their production, reuses and movements over the years.
The most important aspect on which attention was focused, however, was the clash between the secular clergy and the monks of Santo Stefano, a clash involving the Municipality, the Empire, the Papacy, the relics of Saints Vitale and Agricola and those of San Petronio.

A digitális közigazgatás és a digitalizáció mint jelenség értelmezését követően azonosítom azokat a szabályozókat, amelyek a digitális közigazgatással összefüggő legfontosabb kérdéseket rendezik. A szabályozók között megfigyelhetőek bizonyos kölcsönhatások és más szabályszerűségek, amelyek azonosítására három fő kérdéskör – a digitális közigazgatás fogalma, a digitális közigazgatás alapintézményei és az operatív működés – mentén teszek kísérletet.
Az ügyvédi összeférhetetlenségi okok alóli kivételek elvi és gyakorlati megközelítésben
Authors: Baranyi Bertold
Published: December 2024

Az ügyvédi tevékenységgel összeférhetetlen tevékenységek és jogviszonyok rendszere látszólag szilárd alapelveket, törvényszerűségeket követ. A rendszerváltást követő időszakban az ügyvédi összeférhetetlenség alóli kivételek köre fokozatosan bővült, és mára közel harminc olyan tevékenységet, illetve jogviszonyt különböztethetünk meg, amelyet a szó szoros értelemben vett ügyvédi tevékenység mellett, sőt adott esetben annak részeként az ügyvéd folytathat. Az ügyvédi összeférhetetlenség alóli kivételeket éppen ezért a jogintézmény klasszikus elvei mércéjével vizsgálom, különös tekintettel arra is, hogy az összeférhetetlenségi okok az ügyvédek számára gyakran indokolatlan korlátozásnak tűnnek, illetve – legalábbis látszólag – ellentmondanak a tisztességes gazdasági verseny logikájának. A vizsgálat alapján megállapítható, hogy az ügyvédi összeférhetetlenségi okok alóli – tételesen szabályozott kivételek – változó mértékben, de valamennyi, az összeférhetetlenségi okok alapját képező elvet kérdőjelezik meg.
Понятие «государственность» в современной теории государства
Authors: Правкина И.Н.
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена теоретическому анализу понятия «государственность». Анализируя различные подходы к определению названного понятия, отражающие природу и сущность государственности, ее структурно-содержательные характеристики, а также особенности связи государственности и государства, автор приходит к выводу о том, что плюрализм мнений в интерпретации понятия государственности в современной теории государства обусловлен сложностью и многомерностью того, что им охватывается.

The article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the concept of statehood. Analyzing various approaches to the definition of this concept, reflecting the nature and essence of statehood, its structural and substantive characteristics, as well as the peculiarities of the relationship between statehood and the state, the author concludes that the pluralism of opinions in the interpretation of the concept of statehood in the modern theory of the state is due to the complexity and multidimensionality of what it covers.
A Personal Introduction to Knud Illeris’ Problemorientering og Deltagerstyring: Oplæg til en Alternativ Didaktik
Authors: Boelt Anders Melbye
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a personal introduction to Knud Illeris’ Problemorientering og deltagerstyring – oplæg til en alternativ didaktik [Problem-orientation and participant-direction – a draft for an alternative didactic], published first in 1974. Illeris is one of the founding fathers of PBL in Denmark, and 50 years after its first publication it seems fitting to re-read the book, and I hope others will do the same. Introduced to PBL as something sprawling from the counterculture, youth rebellion, and progressive pedagogies, I found Illeris’ book to be both inspiring and a bit underwhelming, and in many cases foreshadowing neoliberal conceptions of outcome-based education.
Mâverdî’de Toplumsal Gelişme Modeli
Authors: Kılınç Zeynel Abidin
Published: December 2024

Toplumsal gelişme, bir toplumun tüm beşeri ihtiyaçlarının mümkün olduğunca yüksek düzeyde ve nitelikli biçimde karşılanabilmesini amaçlar. Avrupa’da ticaret devrimi ile başlayıp sanayi devrimi ile ivme kazanan Batı modernleşmesini açıklamak ve onları taklit etmek durumunda kalan Batılı olmayan ülkelere de bir tür rehberlik yapması için modernleşme modelleri geliştirilmiştir. Toplumsal gelişme sadece modern dönemde değil modern öncesi dönemde de toplumların temel sorunlarından birisi olmuştur. Gerek devletin güçlü olması gerekse toplumun refaha kavuşması toplumsal gelişmeye bağlı olduğu için bu alanda antik dönemden itibaren filozoflar ve devlet adamları bu konuyla ilgili görüşlerini ortaya koymuşlardır. Geleneksel İslam toplumunda da modernleşme dönemine kadar kendine özgü bir toplumsal gelişme anlayışı mevcuttur. Literatürde yaygın şekliyle Siyasetnâme olarak bilinen eserlerde gerek devletin güçlü olabilmesi gerekse toplumun huzur ve refahı, toplumsal gelişme ile doğrudan ilişkili görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada Abbasiler döneminde yaşamış olan Mâverdî’nin toplumsal gelişme sorununa yaklaşımı analiz edilmekte ve ana hatları ve varsayımları itibariyle evrensel nitelikte bir toplumsal gelişme modeline sahip olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Takip eden bölümlerde ilk olarak modern dönemde geliştirilen kültürel ve kurumsal yaklaşımlar aktarıldıktan sonra Mâverdî’nin toplumsal gelişme modeli analiz edilmektedir.

This study investigates the factors influencing students’ attitudes towards using ChatGPT for educational and learning purposes, following the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The primary objective is to understand how perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived credibility, and perceived social influence affect students’ attitudes and behavioral intentions to adopt ChatGPT on a demographic basis. The study employed a quantitative research method to analyze the data gathered through a cross-sectional survey using a purposive sampling technique. A total of 431 students from educational institutions in the Kathmandu district were targeted, yielding 397 valid responses and reflecting a high engagement rate of 92.1%. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25, employing descriptive statistics, reliability testing, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived credibility significantly impact students’ attitudes towards ChatGPT, while perceived social influence significantly affects attitudes in a negative direction. Additionally, attitude significantly impacts the behavioral intention to use ChatGPT. The study also reveals significant differences across demographic variables, with females showing more positive attitudes but males having higher behavioral intentions. Younger students and those at lower education levels exhibited more favorable attitudes and higher intentions, and students in the Education specialization showed less favorable attitudes compared to those in Science, Management, Humanities, and other streams. The findings of this study suggest that educational institutions should enhance the use of ChatGPT by focusing on the relevancy of practical benefits, ease of use, and credibility while also addressing social pressures and tailoring strategies to different demographic groups so that a supportive and inclusive environment for technology adoption could be fostered.

Published: December 2024

In this paper, we use the distributions of observed y -ray properties, as well as orientation parameters of a sample of Fermi-LAT AGNs to investigate the hypothesis that y -NLS1 objects are beamed sources with y -ray emitting axes inclined at close angles to the line of sight. Based on these parameters we investigate the relationship between y- ray emitting jetted AGNs. Results show that y -NLS1s are more highly beamed than both FSRQs and BL Lacs with mean value of core-dominance parameter Rg ~ 9507. y --NLS1s and jetted Seyfert galaxies are continuous in distribution of the orientation parameter with average cone angles Ôm ~ 8o and 44o respectively. Furthermore, the spectral energy distribution of y NLS1 is comparable to those of FSRQs and BL Lacs suggestive that y-NLS1s and blazars form a continuous spectral sequence. There is a significant anti-correlation (r ~ -0.9) between the y -ray luminosity There is a strong dependence of Dg on redshift (r ~ -0.7) suggestive that Dg is more sensitive to environmental factors than intrinsic y-ray luminosity. The results suggest that y--NLS1s are highly beamed counterparts can be found among Seyfert galaxy populations.
В данной работе используется распределение наблюдаемых свойств y- излучения, а также параметры ориентации для выборки AGN, зарегистрированных с помощью Fermi-LAT, чтобы исследовать гипотезу о том, что объекты y-NLS1 являются источниками излучения, направленными с осями y-излучения, наклоненными под малым углом к лучу зрения. Основываясь на этих параметрах, исследована взаимосвязь между y-NLS1 и другими подтипами активных галактик с релятивистскими джетами, испускающих y-излучение Результаты показывают, что y-NLS1 более сфокусированы, чем FSRQ и BL Lac с средним значением параметра доминирования ядра Rg ~ 9507. y-NLS1 и сейфертовские галактики с джетами образуют непрерывное распределение по параметру ориентации, со средними углами конусов Фm ~ 8o и 44o, соответственно. Кроме того, спектральное распределение энергии y-NLS1 сопоставимо с распределением для FSRQ и BL Lac, что указывает на то, что y-NLS1 и блазары образуют непрерывную спектральную последовательность. Наблюдается значительная антикорреляция (r ~ -0.9) между доминированием y- излучения Dg и гамма-лучевой светимостью. Также обнаружена сильная зависимость Dg от красного смещения (r ~ -0.7), что указывает на большую чувствительность Dg к факторам окружающей среды, чем к собственной светимости y-излучения. Результаты предполагают, что y-NLS1являются сильно сфокусированными источниками y-излучения, де-фокусированные аналоги которых можно найти среди популяций сейфертовских галактик.
Topological Casimir Effect In Models With Helical Compact Dimensions

Published: December 2024

We investigate the influence of the helical compactification of spatial dimension on the local properties of the vacuum state for a charged scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter. A general background geometry is considered with rotational symmetry in the subspace with the coordinates appearing in the helical periodicity condition. It is shown that by a coordinate transformation the problem is reduced to the problem with standard quasiperiodicity condition in the same local geometry and with the effective compactification radius determined by the length of the compact dimension and the helicity parameter. As an application of the general procedure we have considered locally de Sitter spacetime with a helical compact dimension. By using the Hadamard function for the Bunch-Davies vacuum state, the vacuum expectation values of the field squared, current density, and energy-momentum tensor are studied. The topological contributions are explicitly separated and their asymptotics are described at early and late stages of cosmological expansion. An important difference, compared to the problem with quasiperiodic conditions, is the appearance of the nonzero off-diagonal component of the energy-momentum tensor and of the component of the current density along the uncompact dimension.

The prevailing part of the Armenian dialects is not characterized by diphthongs and triphthongs. We are convinced of this while carrying out 28 collection works with the Armenian dialects. For Armenian dialects the usage of simple vowels and diphthongs is most characteristic, as, for example, in the current largest - Ararat dialect, where all diphthongs and triphthongs of ancient Armenian have undergone a phonetic change. Dialectologist A. Gharibyan studied and appreciated the interesting reality of the transformation of diphthongization into a grammatical means, such as the grammatical means of transition from an indefinite gender of a noun to a definite gender in the dialects of Kesab, Qabusie in Syria. The famous linguist A. Acharyan believes that the diphthongization of simple vowels in the Agulis dialect does not have a deep antiquity, it is a relatively new phenomenon, which is noticeable by the stratification of various phenomena of phonetic changes.
Преобладающей части диалектов армянского не характерны дифтонги и трифтонги. В этом мы убеждаемся при осуществлении коллекционных работ с армянскими диалектами. Для армянских диалектов наиболее характерно использование простых гласных и дифтонгов, как, например, в нынешнем крупнейшем - Араратском диалекте, где все дифтонги и трифтонги древнеармянского претерпели фонетическое изменение. Диалектолог А. Гарибян изучил и оценил интересную реальность превращения дифтонгизации в грамматическое средство, как, например, грамматическое средство перехода от неопределенного рода существительного к определенному роду в диалектах Кесаба, Кабусие в Сирии. Известный лингвист А. Ачарян считает, что дифтонгизация простых гласных в агулисском диалекте не имеет глубокой древности, это относительно новое явление, что заметно по расслоению различных явлений фонетических изменений.
A Medical Anthropological Study of Traditional Disinfection Practices Used in Traditional Medicine in Sri Lanka during Epidemics
Authors: Srishan GAAN , Abhayasundere PN , Jayasiri AAJ
Published: December 2024

Traditional medicine has long been an integral part of Sri Lankan healthcare, and its role in managing epidemics is of particular interest due to its historical and cultural significance. This research seeks to shed light on the traditional disinfection methods and rituals employed by traditional healers and communities during epidemic crises, while also exploring the sociocultural factors that influence these practices. Disinfection is unique among the strategies adopted to control the disease in an epidemic situation. This makes it possible to control the spread of pathogens. In Sinhala medicine, Sri Lanka’s traditional medicine, are traditional disinfecting techniques employed for the prevention and control of epidemic diseases? If so, what are the disinfection practices used? Based on these research questions, this research was conducted. The aim of this research is to study the traditional disinfection practices recommended by Sinhala medicine to protect against the epidemic disease as well as to control the spread of the disease during the epidemic season. As an exploratory research using the mixed method based on qualitative data and quantitative data, the Pragmatist paradigm was utilized by the researcher with a phenomenological research design. There, the study area covering the 03 districts of Colombo, Monaragala, and Anuradhapura was selected purposefully and 2 samples were selected from the study area as a sample of 15 traditional medicine practitioners and a sample of 60 elderly people over 50 years of age. Traditional medicine in the country has long been a repository of knowledge that reflects an intricate understanding of the environment, disease ecology, and societal well-being. During epidemics, such practices gain prominence, not only as therapeutic interventions but also as community-driven preventive measures. The study revealed many traditional disinfection methods used by the Sri Lankan community during the epidemic. Many practices such as the use of water mixed with turmeric and lime, steam capture, fumigation etc. could be identified here. The special thing here is that only natural ingredients obtained from the surrounding environment are used for these methods. It could be concluded that this disinfection process is carried out in an environmentally friendly and humane manner.

Authors: Adeoyo O.R. , Eweola E.F.
Published: December 2024

A cocoa pod has a thick, rough, and tough surface, which is usually filled with mucilaginous pulp that coats and protects cocoa beans. This mucilaginous pulp is sweet and allows growth of fungal contaminants. This study determined antifungal activity of some fungi obtained from some cocoa pods. Isolated organisms were cultured, identified using their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, compared with those of compendium of soil fungi, pictorial atlas of soil, and seed fungi. Antifungal activity assay was conducted using agar-well diffusion method containing nystatin, fluconazole, ketoconazole or griseofulvin at 200 mg/mL, 100 mg/mL, and 50 mg/mL concentrations. The results revealed the presence of twelve fungal genera that include Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Byssochlamys, Chrysosporium, Cladosporium, Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Geomyces, Syncephalastrum, and Trichoderma. Aspergillus species had the highest percentage of occurrence (14.3%). The findings showed that all tested antifungal agents had varied degrees of inhibition against isolated organisms and that fluconazole had the highest inhibition zone of 40 mm against A. niger and S. racemosum (at a concentration of 200 mg/mL). Nystatin had the least antifungal activity against C. xerophilum (10 mm at 50 mg/mL) while griseofulvin had little or no activity against tested organisms. The findings underscore the need for proper monitoring to safeguard cocoa quality and to prevent likely cocoa beans spoilage via fungal contamination. The study recommends the use of nystatin, ketoconazole, and fluconazole for the control of fungal contaminants.

This investigation focused on analyzing lard derived from pig adipose tissue and two different vegetable oils (crude palm oil and soybean oil) through triacylglycerides (TAGs) and n-alkane profiling, employing chemometrics techniques. Unsaponifiable palm and soybean oils were isolated and examined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to assess their n-alkane profiles. The identified n-alkane profiles were verified by comparing them with n-alkane standards (nC08–nC27). The experimental design incorporated several multivariate techniques, including Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Random Forest (RF), and Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). According to PLS-DA findings, nC25, nC27, and PPL are suggested as key TAG and n-alkane markers for the clustering analysis of lard from crude palm and soybean oils. These results indicate that further research is necessary to refine and validate these distinctions, especially when using chemometrics techniques.

Mark Sykes’in Eserlerinde Kürt Algısı
Authors: Bozkurt Kenan
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma; İngiliz siyasetçi, casus, diplomat, asker, yazar ve gezgin Mark Sykes’ın eserlerinden hareketle onun Kürtlere dair tespitlerini ve bakış açısını irdeleme amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Osmanlı, Kürt ve Arapların yakın tarihinde çok önemli bir yere sahip olan Sykes, I. Dünya Savaşı sonrası Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun yıkıldığı dönemde Ortadoğu’nun sınırlarının çizilmesinde önemli rol oynayan Sykes-Picot Antlaşması’nın mimarlarından biridir. Zira Sykes-Picot Antlaşması, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu topraklarının nasıl paylaştırılacağına dair özel bir plan içeriyordu. Bu süreçte Kürtler, anlaşmanın dışında bırakılmış ve yaşadıkları topraklar komşu devletler ara-sında paylaşılmıştır. Kürtler arasında umutsuzluk ve öfke yaratan bu anlaşma, Kürtlerin bağımsızlık kazanmasını engellediği gibi Kürtlerle yaşadıkları ülkeler arasında siyasi, sosyal ve kültürel çatışmaların başlamasına yol açmıştır. Bu durum, büyük acıların yaşanmasına yol açmıştır. Bu anlamda Kürtlerin kaderini şekillendiren bir antlaşmanın mimarı olan bir kimsenin o millete dair algısı, antlaşmaya dair daha iyi bilgi edinmeyi sağlayacak-tır. Bu amaçla da Sykes’ın “Beş Türk Eyaletine Doğru, Halifelerin Son Mirası, Darü’l-İslam” adlı kitaplarından ve “The Kurdish Tribes of the Ottoman Empire ve Journeys in North Mesopotamia I-II” adlı makalelerinden hareketle onun Kürtlere dair görüşleri irdelenmiştir.

Competence is an essential part of completing the organization's tasks that need to be achieved by individuals in the organization. This study aims to determine the description of the competence of cooperative management. The researcher used a survey approach to find out the description of the competence of the cooperative management. Respondents in this study were 318 members of cooperatives in the organizational environment in the city of Bandung. The study results illustrate that the competence of the management is in the reasonably good category. However, there are still weak aspects that illustrate that the competencies of members and leaders do not fully have the expected competencies, such as behavior that reflects competence in the field of cooperatives, which is still very rarely found in members and also cooperative management apart from the way members think, and also leaders in determining actions for cooperatives felt to be still not fully optimized. Therefore, researchers recommend that efforts improve cooperative behavior within the leadership by appointing cooperative administrators who have the characteristics needed to lead cooperatives. Their outpouring of hearts, thoughts, and behavior can describe a strong character.
