Authors: Adıgüzel Fatih
Published: September 2024

Bu çalışmada, döner ters sarkaç sistemi hareketli koluyla sınırlı bir bölge içinde, salınımı kontrol edilerek ve sarkaç enerjisi artırılarak, kararlı denge noktasından kararsız denge noktasına çıkarılması hedeflenmektedir. Döner ters sarkaç sisteminin doğrusal olmayan modeli ve denge noktalarındaki doğrusal modelleri verildikten sonra sarkaç yukarı yükseltme algoritması tanıtılmaktadır. Yukarı yükseltme algoritması, sarkaç salınırken belli noktalarda kol yardımıyla sarkaca enerji yüklemesine dayanmaktadır. Burada kol ivmelendirilmesi sabit bir ivme ile hareket ettirilmektedir. Yukarı yükseltme işlemindeki algoritma, sarkacın hızının en fazla olduğu yere yani kararlı denge noktasına ilerlerken ve periyodunu tamamlarken devreye girmektedir. Bu analizler hesaplanmış sınırlar dikkate alınarak yapılmaktadır. Sarkacın yukarı yükselmesi gerçekleştiğinde doğrusal model üzerinden elde edilmiş temel bir tam durum geri beslemeli kontrolcü devreye girmektedir ve sarkacı kararsız denge noktasında tutmaktadır. Böylece, anahtarlamalı bir kontrol yapısı elde edilmektedir. Önerilen kontrol algoritmasının doğrulaması için önerilen algoritma bir döner sarkacı üzerinde gerçek zamanlı olarak test edilmiştir. Farklı kol ivmelendirme değerleri ile elde edilen karşılaştırmalı sonuçlar sunulmuştur. Kol ivmesi ±32 rad/s2’den ±64 rad/s2’ye çıkarıldığında sarkacın yukarı yükselme süresi yaklaşık 9 s’den 5 s’ye düşmektedir. Bu sonuçlar, önerilen algoritmanın deneysel başarısını göstermektedir.

THE IMPACT OF E-COMMERCE LIVE STREAMERS' PROFESSIONALISM ON CONSUMERS' PURCHASING INTENTIONS
Authors: Zhang Ruisi
Published: September 2024

In the digital age, e-commerce livestreamers have notably impacted consumer purchasing behavior. This study investigates how their professionalism affects consumers' purchase intentions, focusing on the mediating role of perceived value and the moderating role of virtual touch. We collected the data from 559 consumers using a questionnaire survey and analyzed it using structural equation modeling and multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that e-commerce livestreamers’ professionalism significantly enhances consumers' purchase intentions and perceived value. Perceived value, in turn, positively impacts purchase intentions. Moreover, perceived value mediates the relationship between livestreamers' professionalism and purchase intentions, while virtual touch positively moderates the link between professionalism and perceived value. This study demonstrates that livestreamers’ professionalism directly boosts consumers' purchase intentions and indirectly does so by increasing perceived value. Additionally, virtual touch strengthens the positive effect of livestreamers’ professionalism on perceived value, further encouraging consumer purchasing behavior. This research enriches the theoretical foundation of consumer behavior in e-commerce and offers practical insights for e-commerce platforms and livestreamers.

Authors: Zreik Mohamad
Published: September 2024

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), emanating from the core principles of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), represents a significant evolution in regional economic cooperation. This article delves into the intricate dynamics of RCEP, emphasizing its inception, growth, and the profound implications it holds for the European Union (EU). Tracing the history of ASEAN and its expansion, the paper examines how the ASEAN's Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with nations outside Southeast Asia, including China, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, and India, laid the groundwork for RCEP. The study highlights the strategic objectives of RCEP in fostering trade liberalization and economic integration among its member states, while also addressing disputes and promoting regional stability. The signing of RCEP in November 2020 marked a pivotal moment in Asia-Pacific economic relations, promising significant shifts in global trade dynamics. This research critically analyses the potential impact of RCEP on the EU, particularly in terms of trade, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, and the broader implications for the global multilateral trading system. The paper also explores how RCEP could reshape the EU's role and strategies in regional and global economic contexts, assessing the challenges and opportunities it presents for EU-ASEAN collaborations. The evolving relationship between Southeast Asia and the EU under the shadow of RCEP, including the promotion of regional trade at micro and macro levels, forms a critical part of this analysis. The study aims to provide comprehensive insights into the multifaceted effects of RCEP on the EU, offering valuable perspectives for policymakers and stakeholders in both regions.

FRACTURE POROSITY IN ALABASTER; AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF ROCK DEFORMATION
Authors: Boyd J. M. , Currie J. B.
Published: September 2024

Experimental deformation of alabaster furnishes useful observations concerning fracture development in a mineral aggregate. Study of deformed samples demonstrates that one or more types of fracturing can combine with kink-band development and other features to define the deformation mode that typifies a given range of confining pressure. Cluster analysis is used to delineate objectively the grouping of deformation features which constitutes the deformation mode.

A comparison of experimentally determined values of differential stress at the linear elastic limit with computed values of the stress necessary to extend “Griffith” cracks suggests that microfracturing terminates purely elastic deformation at both low and high confining pressure. Detailed study of grain-boundary fractures indicates that in alabaster this particular type of deformation feature attains maximum development at relatively low levels of confining pressure and strain.
DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS BEARPAW-HORSESHOE CANYON (UPPER CRETACEOUS) TRANSITION ZONE DRUMHELLER “BADLANDS,” ALBERTA
Authors: Shepheard W. W. , Hills L. V.
Published: September 2024

The transition zone sediments between the Upper Cretaceous Bearpaw and Horseshoe Canyon Formations in the Drumheller area form part of a major regressive sequence laid down in late Campanian time over central and southern Alberta. During this time, the shoreline of the Bearpaw Sea was forced further to the east with a buildup of continental sediments along the margins. Within the present study area, located about 10 mi. southeast of Drumheller along the Red Deer River, six separate units can be recognized in the transition zone deposits, representing: prodelta and delta front; distributory channel; beach and interdistributary bay; mudflat; open bay; and lower floodplain environments of an ancient deltaic complex. Sedimentation occurred relatively rapidly in an unstable environment, with constantly shifting streams the primary agent of transportation and deposition of sediment.

The interpretations of environment and depositional processes were based on a detailed sedimentological analysis of lithology, bed morphology, sedimentary structures and vertical sequences present in the deposits. Grain size distributions, determined for the sands, in combination with sedimentary structures, showed the sediments to have been dominantly deposited under low energy conditions. A factor analysis of the grain size data produced four factors which were related to specific levels within the flow regime. Petrographic examination of the sands provided information on the source material and character of the sediment.

Published: September 2024

This study uses econometric techniques to analyze the effect of sectoral foreign direct investments on economic development in Nigeria from 1985-2022. Secondary data on real gross domestic product (RGDP), human development index (HDI), foreign direct investments (FDI) in service, transport and communications sectors were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Report, and Word Development Indicators (WDI) of Word Bank. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) test processes was utilised as the analytical methods. The ARDL result revealed that in the long run, FDI in the long run, FDI in service sectors had had negative and insignificant effects on human development index. FDI in manufacturing, likewise transport and communications sectors had positive and insubstantial effects on human development index. In the short run, FDI in transport and communications sectors had negative and significant effects on HDI. FDI in manufacturing sector had positive and insignificant effect on HDI. However, FDI in service sector had positive and substantial effect on HDI. Hence, it was concluded that FDI had substantial impact on human capital development. Therefore, the study recommended that government should provide needed enabling environment to increase FDIs in various sectors. To achieve this, government should remove all the road blocks to foreign productive investments in Nigeria. The process ranges from fixing infrastructural deficits through addressing issues of good governance, corruption and insecurity.
Hamlet o Europa y el fin del Trauerspiel moderno
Authors: Desideri Fabrizio
Published: September 2024

El personaje de Hamlet ha sido un punto de referencia para gran parte de la filosofía europea del siglo XX, representando el espíritu y destino de Europa. Diversos autores, como Pavel Florenskij, Lev S. Vygotskij y Carl Schmitt, han visto en Hamlet la contradicción inherente a una transición epocal no resuelta, caracterizada por el dolor interminable de un interim. Mi artículo explora la posibilidad de interpretar el tiempo de Hamlet bajo esta luz, en relación con las ideas de Walter Benjamin sobre el Trauerspiel alemán. A diferencia de Florenskij, que lee a Hamlet de manera trágica, sigo la tesis benjaminiana que sitúa a Hamlet como el fin del Trauerspiel moderno. En este marco, se revela la naturaleza de la conciencia moderna y su relación con la verdad, destacando cómo Hamlet encarna los rasgos aporéticos de la política moderna, en contraste con la visión premoderna de Carl Schmitt.
Música y “genio actor”
Authors: Sarquis Mauro
Published: September 2024

El presente trabajo tiene por finalidad constatar que Mariano Antonio Barrenechea (1884-1949) interpretaba la metafísica de artista propia de El nacimiento de la tragedia como una aprehensión superficial o impropia dentro del pensamiento nietzscheano. Con vistas a tal fin, el argumento desplegado en el escrito se orienta a los siguientes objetivos: 1) sondear los alcances del conocimiento que Barrenechea tenía de las tesis centrales de la obra sobre la tragedia; 2) reconstruir la interpretación barrenechiana según la cual la irrupción de Wagner en la vida de Nietzsche constituye una torsión de los proyectos helenistas originales del filólogo; 3) analizar la lectura de Barrenechea sobre algunos fragmentos póstumos en los que Nietzsche pone en tela de juicio la posibilidad misma del drama musical wagneriano.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of research is to determine the share of influence of factors in the overall variability of barley yield and assess stability using parametric and non-parametric statistical methods in the conditions of the south of the Moscow Region. According to the results of the study (2020–2022), significant contributions to yield variability were identified: environmental conditions – 81.9 %; genotypic characteristics – 7.4 and genotype × environment interaction – 8.2 %. 7 samples (280.7–345.2 g/m2) were classified as excee¬ding the standard. Evaluation by parametric (bi – regression coefficient; S2dᵢ – deviation from regression; θi – average variance component; θ(i) – GE variance component; Wi2 – environmental valence; σi2 – stability variance; CV – coefficient of variation) and nonparametric (S(1,2,3,6) – rank statistics; NP(i) – non-parametric stability statistics; KR – rank sum) stability indicators allowed us to identify differences in the response of the sample under study to environmental conditions. A high correlation was noted between S(3) and NP(4) (r = 0,90), S(1) and S(2) (r = 0,96), S(6) and NP(4) (r = 0,98), Wi2 and σi2, (r = 1,00), Wᵢ2 and θᵢ (r = 1,00), σ2ᵢ and θᵢ (r = 1,00), Wᵢ2 and θ(i) (r = –1,00), σ2ᵢ, and θ(i) (r = –1,00), θᵢ and θ(i) (r = –1,00). Relationship with productivity in such indicators as S(1), S(2), S(3), NP(1), Wᵢ2, σ2ᵢ, S2dᵢ, CV, θᵢ, θ(ᵢ) was weak, the greatest association was noted with bᵢ (r = 0,60), NP(3) (r = –0,67), NP(4) (r = –0,67), S(6) (r = –0,69), KR (r = –0,71), NP(2) (r = –0,78). Samples with a combination of stability and high yield were identified: Alei (k-31363, Russia), Maximus (k-31366, Russia), Austris (k-31368, Latvia), Povolzhsky Luch (k-31392, Russia).

Authors: Yu Zhining , Wang Lifang , Song Bin , Cui Liping
Published: September 2024

This study examines the relationship between health beliefs and fear of cancer recurrence among breast cancer (BC) patients and develops a predictive model for cancer recurrence fear. A total of 120 patients from the Breast Surgery Department of a top tertiary hospital, spanning December 2022 to December 2023, were included in the study. Data were collected using general information questionnaires, Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS) and the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF). The analysis revealed that CHBMS and FoP-Q-SF scale scores of BC patients were 94.17 ± 15.59 points and 34.90 ± 7.15 points, respectively. The total CHBMS score, perceived benefits, health motivation, and self-efficacy were negatively correlated with the total FoP-Q-SF score and its dimension scores (P < 0.05), whereas perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, type of operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment, and perceived barriers showed a positive correlation (P < 0.05). Significant differences in FoP-Q-SF scores were observed among patients of different ages, marital statuses, education levels, average monthly household incomes, levels of family caregiving, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages, and types of medical insurance (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, marital status, education level, average monthly household income, family caregiving, TNM stage, chemoradiotherapy treatment, and CHBMS scale scores as significant factors influencing cancer recurrence fear (P < 0.05). A predictive model regression equation was established, and the model’s area under the ROC curve was 0.759 (95% confidence interval = 0.702 – 0.834, P < 0.001). Patients aged 50 years and older exhibited higher fear levels. This fear is also affected by age, marital status, education level, average monthly household income, family caregiving, TNM stage, and chemoradiotherapy treatment. The predictive model based on these factors demonstrates good predictive efficacy for cancer recurrence fear, providing a basis for early identification of high-risk patients and targeted nursing interventions.

Information sampling differences supporting superior face identity processing ability
Authors: Dunn James D. , Miellet Sebastien , White David
Published: September 2024

Face recognition in humans is often cited as a model example of perceptual expertise that is characterized by an increased tendency to process faces as holistic percepts. However emerging evidence across different domains of expertise points to a critical role of feature-based processing strategies during the initial encoding of information. Here, we examined the eye-movement patterns of super-recognisers—individuals with extremely high face identification ability compared with the average person—using gaze-contingent “spotlight” apertures that restrict visual face information in real time around their point of fixation. As an additional contrast, we also compared their performance with that of facial examiners—highly trained individuals whose superiority has been shown to rely heavily on featural processing. Super-recognisers and facial examiners showed equivalent face matching accuracy in both spotlight aperture and natural viewing conditions, suggesting that they were equally adept at using featural information for face identity processing. Further, both groups sampled more information across the face than controls. Together, these results show that the active exploration of facial features is an important determinant of face recognition ability that generalizes across different types of experts.

Evaluating performance characteristics of recycled aggregate concrete: A study through experimentation
Authors: Al-Kaabi Jasim Jarallah Fahad
Published: September 2024

This study surveys the display characteristics of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) through experimentation, focusing on key material properties and mix degrees. The RAC blends, signified as R-0 and R-45 addressing various rates of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) substitution, were examined for new properties, compressive strength, and solidness. The blend extents included concrete (C), fine aggregate (FA), natural coarse aggregate (NCA), RCA, silica fume, water, and superplasticizer (SP). New properties, for example, compaction factor, alongside 28 days compressive strength, were determined for all RAC blends. Sturdiness tests included corrosive opposition, scraped area obstruction, and water penetrability tests. Results showed that RAC displayed decreased compressive strength and expanded weight reduction contrasted with traditional concrete (R-0) when exposed to corrosive assault. Be that as it may, the compressive strength decrease was less articulated in RAC exposed to sulfate assault, credited to the arrangement of ettringite. Scraped area obstruction tests uncovered that R-45 had higher normal misfortune in thickness contrasted with R-0 however remained inside adequate cutoff points. Water porousness tests showed higher profundity of entrance in RAC contrasted with R-0, conceivably because of stuck mortar. Nonetheless, both RAC and R-0 showed satisfactory water assimilation values. The study suggests that RAC could offer viable alternatives in construction applications while addressing sustainability concerns. Further research is recommended to explore RAC's performance under elevated temperatures and correlate split tensile strength with corresponding results.
Use of Silver Diamine Fluoride: Past to Present
Authors: Şahin Meryem
Published: September 2024

Bacteria in the oral cavity have a great impact on caries formation by demineralizing tooth enamel. Bacterial infection should be prevented before restorative treatments. Rather than invasive treatment of existing caries, arresting bacterial activity in carious lesion and remineralizing dental tissue have become the goal of contemporary caries management philosophy. Silver compounds with antimicrobial effects have been developed over time and have taken their place in dentistry. 'Silver Diamine Fluoride' was created by combining the remineralizing effect of fluoride with the cariostatic effect of silver. Its popularity has increased because it appeals to the general population. It’s application is painless, simple, and affordable. Our aim in this review is to provide a general perspective on the usage areas of Silver Diamine Fluoride from past to present and to create a guide for its use in pediatric patients.
Comparison of the Female Sexual Function Index, Beck Depression Inventory, and Patient Satisfaction Scale in Patients Undergoing Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and Single-Port Laparoscopic Hysterectomy for Benign Conditions

Published: September 2024

Aim: The uterus is widely accepted as a sexual organ, children-making body, secretory organ, youth, charm, or power supply by women. By hysterectomy, psychosocial problems such as fear of losing sexual identity occur, and depression may arise as a result of this. In this study, we investigated the effects of surgery on female sexual function and psychosocial situation according to the methods of Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) and Single Port Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (SPLH).
Material and Method: This prospective surgical study included 60 patients, including 30 SPLH and 30 TAH patients with benign reasons. The demographic data of patients, Female Sexual Function Inventory (FSFI) score, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score, and Patient Satisfaction Scale (PSS) score results were all assessed according to TAH and SPLH methods.
Results: In the FSFI questionnaire, significant differences were found between SPLH and TAH groups for all "desire frequency," "desire level," "stimulation frequency," "stimulation level," and "stimulation trust" subquestions (p=0.004, p=0.0001, p=0.003, p=0.011 and p=0.011, respectively). In the BDI, the TAH score (4.4±3.25) was significantly higher than the SPLH score (2.77±2.97) (p=0.047). TAH had 7.97±3.6 points, and SPLH had 3.73±1.1 points regarding treatment results (p=0.00017). Similarly, TAH had 14±4.4 points, while SPLH had 6.1±1.3 points regarding the functionality of hysterectomy (p
Prevalence of Hepatitis B Serology and Reactivation in Rheumatology Patients Receiving Biologic or Targeted Synthetic Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs
Authors: Çırakoğlu Derya , Yılmaz Emine Serap
Published: September 2024

Aim: This study sought to assess hepatitis B virus (HBV) serology and the incidence of HBV reactivation (HBVr) in rheumatology patients with resolved hepatitis B infection (HBsAg negative and HBcAb positive) who were undergoing treatment with biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs).
Material and Method: Data from rheumatology patients treated with b/tsDMARDs were retrospectively reviewed from the electronic records. The demographic data, the anti-rheumatic drugs used, and the hepatitis serologies (HBsAg, anti-HBc IgG, anti-HBs, and anti-HCV) of the patients were analyzed.
Results: The study included a total of 316 patients, of whom 217 (68.7%) were diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, 74 (23.4%) with rheumatoid arthritis, and 25 (7.9%) with psoriatic arthritis. Evaluation of the patients' viral serologies revealed that four (1.2%) were HBsAg positive, and 18 (5.7%) were HBsAg negative and HBcAb positive. Anti-HCV positivity was observed in one (0.3%) patient. All serologies were negative in 153 (48.4%) patients. No HBVr was detected during the follow-up of the patients.
Conclusion: The rate of resolved hepatitis B infection is relatively high in patients under rheumatologic follow-up. However, the use of biologics in these patients poses a low risk of HBVr.

Negotiated strategic regional planning: emerging practice in the London–Cambridge corridor
Authors: Mace Alan , Mossa Alessandra
Published: September 2024

Formal regional planning structures were abolished in England in 2011. One response has been to call for their restitution, another has been to argue instead for negotiated strategic regional planning. The latter envisages the formation of partnerships in lieu of formal structures, with two key benefits being it is less vulnerable to government tinkering and is more attuned to economic and political actors. We employ a proxy – the UK Innovation Corridor – to look at the possibilities for negotiated strategic planning. This leads us to conclude that a hybrid model of formal and negotiated regional planning would offer a more robust model.
