Published: October 2024

In present time climate change has been recognized as the foremost environmental problem of the twenty first century and has become a subject of considerable debates. It is predicted to lead to adverse, irreversible impact on earth and the ecosystem as a whole. Although it is difficult to connect specific weather events to global warming, increase in global temperatures has been predicted to cause border changes, including glacial retreat, arctic shrinkage, and worldwide sea level rise. Climate change has been implicated in mass mortalities of mail, aquatic species, including plants. Climate change is an emerging threat to global public health in many ways including heat stress, air pollution, food scarcity and spread of infectious diseases and intensity of disease outbreaks. Thus, ‘Global Climate Change’ has been a major issue that has created global concern and this has been highlighted by awarding the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for this cause, on the Inter-Governmental Panel of Climatic Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (M) Gore JR., the former American Vice-President, jointly. Global warming is being proven as the major reason behind the climate change. Fossil fuels are being continuously used to produce electricity. The burning of these fuels produces gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides which lead to global warming. Deforestation is also leading to warmer temperatures. The hazard of global warming is continuously causing major damage to the earth’s environment. The present paper focuses on different aspects of ‘Global Climate Change’; the causes, predicted impacts. Probable steps for mitigation and the need for greater understanding of climate change and bringing global awareness on the issue.

Published: October 2024

Background: The purpose was to analyze the levels of placental tissue selectins (E), angiotensin II (AngII) and its receptors (ATRs), and oxidized lipids (malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-isoprostane 2a) in patients with preeclampsia (PE). (8-iso-PGF2a)) correlation and clinical significance. Methods: Select 30 PE pregnant women who were admitted to our hospital from March 2023 to January 2024 as the case group, and select another 30 normal pregnant women who were registered in our hospital during the same period as the health group .The general information of the two groups and placental tissue selectin (E), plasma AngII, ATRs, placental tissue MDA, 8-iso-PGF2a and blood pressure levels (systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP)) were compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of selectin (E), AngII, ATRs, MDA, 8-iso-PGF2a and the levels of SBP and DBP. ROC curves were drawn to analyze the value of placental tissue selectin (E), AngII, ATRs, MDA, and 8-iso-PGF2a individually and jointly in predicting the risk of PE. Results: The expression of placental tissue selectin (E), AngII, ATRs, MDA, 8-iso-PGF2a and the levels of SBP and DBP in the case group were higher than those in the healthy group (P<0.05). Pearson correlation showed that the expression levels of placental tissue selectin (E), AngII, ATRs, MDA, and 8-iso-PGF2a were positively correlated with SBP and DBP (r>0, P<0.05). The results of drawing the ROC curve showed that the AUCs of placental tissue selectin (E), AngII, ATRs, MDA, and 8-iso-PGF2a expression in predicting the occurrence of PE were 0.854, 0.756, 0.745, 0.885, 0.900, and 0.905 respectively. Conclusions: Placenta tissue selectin (E), AngII, ATRs, MDA, and 8-iso-PGF2a are highly expressed in pregnant women with PE. The expression of the above indicators is related to maternal blood pressure levels, and their combination can effectively increase predictive value of the risk of PE.

Published: October 2024

Background: Populations with normal high blood pressure often already have elevated blood uric acid levels and a higher chance of developing atherosclerosis, which accelerates the process of cardiovascular disease. The risk of atherosclerosis increases with thickening of the carotid artery intima-media, and changes in carotid artery elasticity precede intima-media changes, so early monitoring of carotid artery elasticity is of great significance in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Using shear wave elastography (SWE) to evaluate the effect of serum uric acid (SUA) levels on carotid artery elasticity in patients with high-normal blood pressure (BP).
Methods: One hundred and fifteen patients with high-normal BP were selected, and then divided into tertiles according to the SUA levels. The left carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), peak systolic velocity (PSV) and diameter of common carotid artery were measured by two-dimensional ultrasound and Doppler flow imaging. Longitudinal elasticity of the left anterior carotid wall was measured by SWE, including the mean values of the minimum elastic modulus (MEmin), maximum elastic modulus (MEmax) and mean elastic modulus (MEmean).
Results: IMT, MEmean, MEmin and MEmax were obviously higher in the 3rd tertile (all P < 0.05), while there were no obviously different between the 1st tertile and 2nd tertile. Pearson correlation analysis showed positive correlations between SUA and SWE-related parameters, while there was no correlation with IMT. Multiple linear regression analysis found that age, systolic BP, and SUA levels were independently associated with SWE-related parameters.
Conclusion: SWE will be more helpful than IMT in monitoring the effect of blood uric acid levels on carotid artery elasticity in patients with high-normal BP.

Küresel Kriz Dönemlerinde Phillips Eğrisi Yaklaşımının Karşılaştırılmalı Analizi: ABD Örneği
Authors: Işık Onur
Published: October 2024

Küreselleşen ekonomiye rağmen gelişme düzeyi fark etmeksizin tüm dünya ülkelerinin temel sorunların başında, enflasyon ve işsizlik gelmektedir. Ekonomilerin birincil istikrar hedefini ise yine enflasyon ve işsizlik oranlarını düşük düzeyde tutmak oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle küresel kriz dönemlerinde en çok etkilenen göstergeler içerisinde bu iki değişken yer almaktadır. Literatürde enflasyon ile işsizlik arasında ilişkinin tespitine yönelik geliştirilen yaklaşımlarından biri Phillips eğrisi yaklaşımıdır. Çalışmada iki önemli kriz dönemi olan Küresel Finansal Kriz ve Covid-19 Salgın döneminde Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’ne ait 2007M08-2009M06 ve 2020M03-2023M05 dönemlerine ilişkin aylık verilerle Phillips eğrisi yaklaşımının geçerliliğinin karşılaştırmalı analizi amaçlanmaktadır. Toda ve Yamamoto nedensellik testi ve standart Granger nedensellik testi sonuçları; iki değişken arasında çalışmaya dahil edilen küresel kriz dönemlerinde, nedensellik ilişkisinin bulunmadığını işaret etmektedir. Çalışmada finans ve sağlık krizi dönemleri ele alındığından her iki dönemde uygulanan tedbir kararları ile mücadele politikalarının genel olarak kriz kaynaklı uygulanmasının değişkenler üzerinde daha çok etki yarattığı söylenebilmektedir. Bu durum çalışma bulgularını destekler niteliktedir.
Neoliberalizm ve Finansallaşma Bağlamında Derinleşen Konut Krizini Anlamak: 2008 Krizi ve Küresel Barınma Sorunu
Authors: Araman Sinan
Published: October 2024

Bu makalede 2008 yılında başlamış olan küresel ekonomik krizin, konut sektörü ile olan ilişkisi ele alınmıştır. Makalenin amacı konut üretiminin, finansallaşma sürecinde nasıl olup da bir konut krizine dönüştüğünü ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmış ve aynı zamanda istatiksel veriler yorumlanmıştır. Makalede krizin öncesinde olduğu gibi sonrasında da giderek tırmanan küresel barınma sorununun temelindeki nedenler tarihsel verilerle desteklenen kuramsal açıklamalarla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda konut üretiminin, barınma krizine doğru nasıl evirildiğinin ekonomi-politik nedenleri ortaya konmuştur. Sosyal devlet politikalarından vazgeçildiği kapitalizmin neoliberal dönüşüm sürecinde toplumun barınma ihtiyacı büyük bir oranda finansal sermayenin hakimiyetinde piyasa dinamiklerine bırakılmıştır. Yaşanan en büyük ekonomik çöküşlerden biri olarak tarihe geçen emlak balonu kaynaklı ABD 2008 Krizi, kapitalizmin temel çelişkileri ile birlikte bu dönüşümün bir ürünü olarak açığa çıkmıştır. Benzer şekilde 2008 öncesinde dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde yaşanan çok sayıda kriz, temel insan hakkı olarak kabul edilmesine rağmen konutun değişim değeri amacıyla üretilen bir metaya dönüştürülerek emlak piyasasının artan oranda finansallaşmasının bir sonucu olarak yaşanmıştır. Neoliberal dönüşüm ve onun belirgin özelliklerinden biri olan finansallaştırma eğilimi konut piyasasına büyük emlak şirketlerinin hâkim olmasına yol açarken, çalışanların ödeme gücünü aşan yüksek kiralar ve konut fiyatları eşliğinde küresel barınma sorununun daha da artmasına neden olmaktadır.

İlk kez S. Cohen tarafından 1972 yılında kuramsal temelleri atılmış ve günümüzde sosyolojik bağlamda pek çok araştırmaya konu olan ahlâki panik, geleneksel ve sosyal medya araçlarının kullandığı etkin araçların başında gelmektedir. Ahlaki paniğin temelinde; toplumun belirli kesimlerini paniğe sürüklemek, şeytan yaratmak, toplumu yönlendirmek ve kamuoyu oluşturmak gibi ahlâk temelli korku yaratma eğilimi yatmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ahlâki panik kavramı müzik üzerinden ele alınarak, 2015 yılında Altın Kelebek Ödül Töreninde Mustafa Ceceli’nin ‘Kainatın Aynasıyım’ adlı türkünün/deyişin sahne performansına yönelik sosyal medyada başlayan tartışmalar incelenecektir. Konunun izler kitle tarafından Alevilikle ilgili olarak hangi anlamlarla ne tür bir ahlâki panik ürettiği üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışmada ele alınan örnek olay, Goode & Ben-Yehuda’nın (1994) ahlâki panik üzerine geliştirdiği beş temel yaklaşım üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Nitel araştırma kapsamında çalışılan bu makale; dijital saha çalışması olarak da adlandırılan netnografik bir araştırma desenine dayanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda dokuman incelemesi, yazılı literatür taraması ve açık erişim kaynaklı verilerin derlenerek betimsel açıdan incelenmesini içermektedir. Çalışmanın sonunda; söz konusu deyişin seslendirilme biçimi açısından, topluluk tarafından “dini değerlerle alay etmekle” eş değer tutulduğu, dinleyicilerin deyişin icrasına yönelik (adeta) “özel bir alan inşa etme çabası” içinde olunduğunu ve tartışmaların içeriğinin müzik üzerinden belirli kişi veya kişileri “ötekileştirme”ye müsait bir alana dönüştürülmeye çalışıldığı söylenebilir.
High-Performance Deep Learning Classifier for Predicting Cyclones Based On Rain Optimization Algorithm
Authors: ATR Krishna Priya , R Anuja
Published: October 2024

One of the most potent and devastating types of weather phenomena on Earth are tropical cyclones (TC). A cyclone is a large air mass that revolves in a powerful epicenter of low atmospheric pressure, rotating counterclockwise in northern hemisphere and clockwise in southern hemisphere. In this work, a unique deep learning model for predicting the path of tropical cyclones is proposed. Unlike previous predictions, cyclones have the potential to cause serious harm to both individuals and their possessions. To lessen the adverse impacts of cyclones, better and more precise prediction systems are required. In order to anticipate cyclones, this work proposes an efficient Rain Optimized Convolutional Neural Network (RO CNN). The input image is manipulated and preprocessed using Notch filter. Grey Level Coordination Matrix (GLCM) is utilized for gathering the features from segmented output after the processed image and it is fed into K means clustering technique for segmentation. When compared to other conventional methods, the proposed classifier achieves higher levels of accuracy in classification. In order to validate its effectiveness, suggested ROA CNN based system is implemented in MATLAB platform and accuracy obtained during classification using ROA CNN is about 95.8%.

Published: October 2024

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been one on the most vivid research areas in the field of computer vision over the decades. The availability of large and steadily growing amounts of visual and multimedia data, and the development of the Internet underline the need to create thematic access methods that are more than simple text based queries or requests based on matching exact database fields. Content based Image Retrieval (CBIR) aids radiologist to identify similar medical images in recalling previous cases during diagnosis. Although several algorithms have been introduced to extract the content of the medical images, the process is still a challenge due to the nature of the feature itself where most of them are extracted in low level form. In addition to the dimensionality reduction problem caused by the low level features, current features are also insufficient to convey the semantic meaning of the images. This article gives an overview of available literature in the field of content based access to medical image data and on the technologies used in the field. The shortcomings of the current CBIR systems are discussed and future directions toward context based medical image retrieval are expressed.

Published: October 2024

Educational media serves as a medium through which teachers deliver learning materials to students, facilitating understanding and assimilation of content. The use of educational media is very important in elementary schools, especially in the context of science learning in class IV Fatahillah MIN 2 Jember. One practical tool that can be used by teachers in teaching science is Macromedia Flash-based learning media. One type of research and development (R&D) approach used in this study is the Borg & Gall model. The test subjects came from fourth grade students of MIN 2 Jember. The material used is the historical stories of the kingdoms in Indonesia in the past through media. Methods such as surveys, exams, observations, and interviews were used to collect data. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods, in addition to the T-test, were used in data analysis techniques. With a media design score of 90.6% and an effectiveness level in assisting learning of 92%, the learning media created achieved a content validation level of 93.3%, in line with the findings. Overall, students found the learning media quite interesting, with an attractiveness rate of 82.5%. The average post-test score of 75.9 was much higher than the average pre-test score of 48.7, indicating a considerable improvement in student learning outcomes. There is a chance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, in the T-test analysis of this study. Thus, we accept Ha as the alternative hypothesis and reject Ho as the null hypothesis. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that science education can benefit from the incorporation of Macromedia Flash-based learning materials.

Authors: Maulana Muhamad Riyan
Published: October 2024

In the growing context of distance education, e-learning modules for mechatronics offer great potential to increase learning flexibility and effectiveness, but face challenges related to concept understanding, student motivation, and technical constraints. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mechatronics-based e-learning modules in improving students' understanding of mechatronics concepts and to identify challenges and areas of improvement needed. Using a qualitative approach, the study involved in-depth interviews with 20 students over a four-month period as well as focus group discussions and document analysis. The data obtained was analysed thematically to reveal students' views and experiences. The findings show that e-learning modules that integrate multimedia elements such as animations and interactive simulations significantly improve students' understanding and motivate them through interactive elements. However, technical constraints such as unstable internet connection and device compatibility issues, as well as the need for additional support in self-directed learning, hindered the learning experience. Student feedback indicated the need for improvements to the module navigation and user guide. In conclusion, the e-learning module was effective in improving student understanding and motivation, but requires technical improvements and additional support to optimise its benefits in distance education.

The Reparel® Sleeve is a Class I Device embedded with nano-semiconductor fibers that mimic LLLT to alleviate joint and tendon pain.The purpose of this study was to determine if bioactive sleeves with nano-semiconductor fibers can objectively affect tendinopathy.

METHODS

12 New Zealand white rabbits received 0.2% collagenase injections into the right Achilles tendon. Rabbits were divided into three groups: group I received a sham sleeve (n=4); group II received a Reparel® sleeve I (n=4); and group III received Reparel® sleeve II (n=4). Calf circumference measurements and thermal radiation imaging of the right lower limb were collected on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 post-injection. Two rabbits from each group were sacrificed at 14 and 28 days, and right Achilles tendons were harvested. Histological analysis using Picrosirius red staining was performed to evaluate collagen fiber organization. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to evaluate M1/M2 macrophage activity.

# RESULTS

A statistically significant difference in calf circumference was found at the 28-day mark between group I versus groups II and III (p < 0.05). Group I displayed an average circumference of 5.2 cm while groups II and III displayed circumferences of 4.9 and 4.6 cm, respectively. A downward trend in pixel density intensity was noted in the thermal radiation imaging for both sleeve groups. Histologic staining showed that group I displayed widespread disorganization and degradation of type I and III collagen fibers, while groups II and III displayed greater organization at the 28-day mark. Immunohistochemical staining revealed greater M1 macrophage activity in group I at the 14-day mark, and greater M2 macrophage activity in groups II and III at the 28-day mark.

CONCLUSION

The results of our study indicate that application of bioactive nano-semiconductor sleeves had a significant effect in alleviating Achilles tendinopathy, as seen by decreased swelling, temperature, and improved histology.
BEKTAŞİ MUHİBBANI (1911-1912)
Authors: Altı Aziz
Published: October 2024

1826 yılında Bektaşiliğin yasaklanmasının ardından Hacı Bektaş Veli Tekkesi’nde (Pirevi) üç başat gücün olduğu görülmektedir. Bunlar; Hacı Bektaş Veli’nin soyundan gelen Çelebiler, mücerret erkanını yürüten Babagânlar ile merkezi hükümet tarafından tayin edilmiş olan Nakşi şeyh idi. II. Meşrutiyetin Osmanlı ülkesinde getirdiğine inanılan özgür düşünce ortamında Bektaşiler (Babagan/Çelebi) Nakşi şeyhin Pirevi’ndeki statüsünün kaldırılmasını ve yönetimin kendi cihetlerine verilmesini talep etmişlerdi. 1911-1912 yılları arasında Babagânlar ile Çelebiler arasında Pirevi’ndeki yönetimi ele geçirme mücadelesine tarafları da dahil olmuş ve merkezi hükümete tutumlarını iletmişlerdi. Muhibban olarak tanımlanan bu taraftar gurubunda yalnızca Babagân ve Çelebileri destekleyen Bektaşiler olmayıp, Hacı Bektaş Veli Tekkesini kendilerine ‘serçeşme’olarak kabul gören Alevi ocakzâdeleri ve talipleri de vardı. Olaylara yalnızca Osmanlı Devleti sınırları içindeki muhibban reaksiyon göstermemiş aynı zamanda o dönemde Rus hakimiyeti altında yaşamlarını süren muhibban da tepkisini sergilemiştir. Bu çerçevede 1911-1912 yılları arasında Pirevi’ndeki yaşananlara sessiz kalmayarak tepkisini gösteren cümle muhibbanın tespiti bu çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar as potencialidades e limitações da conectividade digital na devoção à Fátima, a partir dos festejos em seu maior Santuário na cidade de Fortaleza (CE). Nos dias treze de cada mês, o Santuário costuma reunir grande número de fiéis e visitantes, com extensa programação de missas e novenário, promovendo em 13 de maio e 13 de outubro sua procissão solene, partindo da Igreja do Carmo, no centro da cidade. O estudo tem por objetivo observar o contexto de mutações devocionais frente à Pandemia da Covid-19, e busca evidenciar as estratégias adotadas pelo Santuário na manutenção do período festivo, associadas aos protocolos sanitários, com maior rigor nas festividades de 2020 e 2021. A proposição metodológica envolveu o acompanhamento de celebrações selecionadas, em ambiente digital, até o mês de maio de 2022, quando a procissão foi retomada. Observações de campo e digitais (via transmissão em canal do Youtube), apontam para manutenção de uma ordem híbrida de conectividade espacial. Em que medida essa é uma tendência de hibridação da fé, correlacionando experiência presencial (santuário e bairros vizinhos) e remota (ciberespaço)? As mensagens e comentários dos devotos nas principais redes de comunicação digital da Paróquia/Santuário de Fátima de Fortaleza também são fontes indispensáveis de análise da pesquisa. Pretendeu-se explorar as dimensões mais pertinentes neste novo contexto de conexões devocionais. O que abre perspectiva para tipologias comparativas deste com outros santuários de forte apelo popular.

Ao interpretar o turismo como prática social que se expressa na dinâmica relacional entre residentes e visitantes, os estudos sobre hospitalidade podem ter importantes rebatimentos na decodificação do próprio fenômeno turístico no contexto global. Nesse sentido e a partir dessa inspiração, a presente pesquisa incide sobre o tema da hospitalidade e tem como objetivo investigar como o residente da cidade e Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro se percebe como anfitrião na relação de hospitalidade com o visitante na cidade. De abordagem qualitativa, com base em levantamento bibliográfico e documental para contextualização dos temas de interesse da pesquisa e com a complementação de campo, o estudo se baseou ainda na aplicação de 88 questionários online semiestruturados, direcionados aos residentes da cidade e da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, a partir de sua adesão colaborativa e voluntária, entre janeiro e abril de 2022. Com esse enfoque, a pesquisa buscou contribuir para os estudos sobre hospitalidade social e urbana que priorizem a perspectiva do anfitrião. Os resultados obtidos parecem confirmar que os residentes da cidade nutrem, em geral, uma relação cordial e alegre com os visitantes. Porém, a insatisfação com as questões relacionadas principalmente ao sentimento de insegurança e precária infraestrutura na cidade tendem a afetar essa dinâmica.

An experimental study was performed to evaluate the responses of broiler chickens to dietary substitution of barley for corn. A total of 252 one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed among 18 floor pens. Six such pens were then randomly assigned to each dietary treatment. Dietary treatments consisted of a corn-based diet, a barley-based diet, and the barley-based diet plus an enzyme mixture. Results indicated that barley substitution for corn significantly (p< 0.0001) impacted broiler performance criteria. However, enzyme supplementation significantly (p= 0.02) improved the feed conversion ratio to the extent obtained in the corn control. The villus absorptive surface area was shrunk in birds fed a barley diet compared to the corn diet. Nevertheless, supplementation of the barley diet with the enzyme mixture significantly (p= 0.02) restored the situation. The expression of the TLR2 gene was significantly down-regulated by replacing barley with corn. Enzyme supplementation of the barley diet significantly (p< 0. 001) up-regulated TLR2 gene expression but not to the extent observed in the corn control group. Significant increases were observed in circulatory levels of uric acid (p< 0.05), total protein (p<0.01), and albumin (p< 0.001) when barley was substituted for corn. Enzyme supplements did not make any significant difference to these variables. In conclusion, the substitution of barley for corn was associated with the poor performance of broilers. However, supplementing barley-based diets with the enzyme mixture improved chicken's performance through enhanced villus absorptive surface area. It reduced the turnover of enterocytes, as reflected in a lower crypt depth in the jejunum.

Published: October 2024

I följande artikel diskuteras vad som karaktäriserar lärares handlingar som främjar elevers engagemang, i en lärandeverksamhet där de tillsammans med sina klasskamrater utforskar de geometriska begrepp som relaterar till begreppet cirkel. Data består av tre forskningslektioner i årskurs 2 där lärandeobjektet handlar om att reflektera över relationer mellan cirkelns fyra begrepp; mittpunkt, radie, diameter och cirkelbåge. Resultatet visar att lärares handlingar som fokuserade på de geometriska begreppen riktades mot både empiriska och teoretiska aspekter. Indikationer på utveckling av lärandeverksamhet kunde urskiljas i situationer där läraren introducerade, kopplade tillbaka, bekräftade, provocerade, inkluderade och fördjupade detaljer om begreppen som relaterar till cirkel. Med stöd av lärarhandlingar, som bestod av frågor, gester och konstruktioner på den gemensamma tavlan, möjliggjordes elevernas utforskande av begreppet cirkel.

Teachers’ opportunities to promote students’ theoretical work with geometric concepts – a learning activity about circle

The following article discusses what characterise teachers‘ actions that promote students’ engagement, in a learning activity where they, together with their classmates, explore the geometric concepts related to the concept of circle. The data consists of three research lessons in grade 2 where the learning object is about reflecting on relationships between the four concepts of the circle: centre, radius, diameter and arc. The result shows that teachers' actions focusing the geometric concepts were directed towards both empirical and theoretical aspects. Indications of developing learning activity were discerned in situations where the teacher introduced, connected back, confirmed, provoked, included and deepened details about the concepts that relate to circle. Supported by teacher actions, consisting of questions, gestures and constructions on the joint board, students' exploration of the concept of circle was enabled.
