Belâgat Tarihinde Bir Donukluk veya Çöküş (İnhitât) Döneminden Söz Edilebilir mi? -Hicri 5. ve 7. yy. Arasında Belâgate Yapılan Katkılar Bağlamında Bir Okuma-
Authors: Güceyüz İsa
Published: June 2024

Arap edebiyatı ve belâgat tarihiyle ilgili çeşitli dönemlendirmeler yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Arap edebiyatı ve belâgatini dönemlendirme meselesi ve belâgat tarihinde bir donukluk veya çöküş (inhitât) döneminden bahsedilip bahsedilemeyeceği hususu tartışılmaktadır. Donuklaşma döneminin başlangıç ve bitişiyle ilgili görüşler gerekçe ve itirazlarıyla ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bazı müellifler donukluğun başlangıcını hicri ikinci asra kadar götürürken bazıları da miladi on dokuzuncu yüzyıla kadar getirmişlerdir. Belâgatin donuklaştığı iddia edilen tarihlerde ittifak olmaması ve donuklaşma tartışmalarının odağında yer alan hicri beşinci ve yedinci yüzyıl arasında belâgate çok önemli katkılar yapılması, belâgatin bu döneminin donukluk veya çöküş dönemi olarak nitelenemeyeceğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Integrating Computational Thinking into Mathematics Education: Its Effects On Achievement, Motivation, And Learning Strategies
Authors: Top Onur , Arabacıoglu Taner
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to explore the impact of mathematics instruction supplemented with CT activities on mathematics achievement, motivation, and learning techniques. A quasi-experimental research design involving a pretest-posttest control group was used for the present study. Research was carried out in a Turkish middle school with sixth-grade pupils in a mathematics class. The courses were provided via CT tasks to the experimental group. CT tasks were performed using a scratch-block-based coding tool. The results showed that the experimental group had much higher mathematical performance than the control group. Furthermore, substantial differences were discovered in favor of the experimental group in the motivation scale sub-dimension of learning control belief and the learning methods scale sub-dimension of time and study environment. The results of this research show that mathematics instruction supplemented with CT activities is effective in enhancing students' mathematical achievement. This helps students to organize their study time and environment effectively. This also reinforces the belief that learning objectives provide successful outcomes. Thus, computer laboratories should be considered essential alternatives for mathematical instruction.

The Role of Hydrogen in Decarbonizing U.S. Industry
Authors: Zhu Yongxian , Keoleian Gregory A , Cooper Daniel R
Published: June 2024

There is growing interest in hydrogen for decarbonizing hard-to-abate
industries. However, determining which industries to target, the scale
of the opportunity, and how to meet the hydrogen demand presents
uncertainties. This article structures the work on these topics,
focusing on U.S. industry through midcentury. The most significant
decarbonization opportunity identified in the literature is in the
refining and chemicals industries, where emissions-intensive grey
hydrogen is already utilized. New opportunities arise in displacing
carbon-based reductants (steelmaking) and/or using hydrogen for
high-temperature heat in cement, aluminum, and glass manufacturing.
Hydrogen technologies have high readiness levels and face modest
technical barriers in burner and furnace design. The primary challenge
lies in reducing the cost of clean hydrogen production and delivery to
compete with natural gas, crucial for any hydrogen industry
decarbonization strategy, and currently representing <1% of
U.S. hydrogen production.

The literature presents diverse U.S. industry clean hydrogen demand
predictions (5-22 Mt/year by 2050) due to conflicting projections of
industrial output, some incompatible with decarbonization goals; e.g.,
growth in gasoline production. After reconciling literature on hydrogen
technology readiness, alternative decarbonization strategies, and U.S.
climate targets, we estimate 2050 industrial clean hydrogen demand at
3.8-14.9 Mt/year, saving 28-133 MtCO2eq (1-7% of current U.S. industry
emissions). Green hydrogen production will require up to 886 TWh of
low-carbon electricity, equivalent to 90% of current renewable
generation.
Enhanced Non-EEG Multimodal Seizure Detection: A Real-World Model for Identifying Generalised Seizures Across The Ictal State

Published: June 2024

Non-electroencephalogram seizure detection models hold promise for the
early detection of generalised onset seizures. However, these models
often experience high false alarm rates and difficulties in
distinguishing normal movements from seizure manifestations. To address
this, we were granted exclusive access to the newly developed Open
Seizure Database, from which a representative dataset of 94 events was
selected (42 generalised tonic-clonic seizures, 19 auras/focal seizures,
and 33 seizures labelled as Other), with a combined duration of
approximately 5 hours and 29 minutes. Each event contains acceleration
and heart rate data which was expertly annotated by a clinician, who
labelled every 5 second timestep with a class of Normal, Pre-Ictal, or
Ictal. We then introduced the AMBER (Attention-guided
Multi-Branching-pipeline with Enhanced Residual fusion) model. AMBER
constructs multiple branches to form independent feature extraction
pipelines for each sensing modality. The outputs of each branch are
passed to our custom Enhanced Residual Fusion layer, where the extracted
features are combined into a fused representation. The fused
representation is then propagated through two densely connected blocks
before being passed through a softmax activation function. The model was
trained using k-fold cross validation, with k-1 fold used to train the
model and the remaining fold was used to evaluate the model’s
performance. The results of these experiments underscore the efficacy of
Ictal-Phase Detection, achieving an accuracy and f1-score of 0.8995 and
0.8987. Notably, the model exhibited consistent generalisation,
recording a True Positive Rate of 0.9564, 0.8325, and 0.9111 for the
Normal, Pre-Ictal, and Ictal classes respectively. These findings were
compounded by an average False Positive Rate, recording an overall score
of 0.0502. In conclusion, this research introduces a new detection
technique and model designed for multimodal seizure detection, with the
potential to reduce the false alarm window and differentiate high and
low amplitude convulsive movement. We believe the results of this study
lay the groundwork for further advancements in non-electroencephalogram
seizure detection research.
Scomparire nell’era dell’ipervisibilità: opzioni media-educative per il fenomeno del ghosting
Authors: Di Mele Luciano , Lo Sardo Alice
Published: June 2024

Dating apps have significantly transformed the landscape of relationships, presenting new opportunities but challenges, including the growing prevalence of ghosting, a practice of implicit rejection that manifests through the unilateral cessation of online communication. This phenomenon is not limited exclusively to dating platforms but can extend to a wide range of contexts characterized by the expectation of communicative reciprocity. It pushes for an ethical reflection on users’ emotional responsibility, which makes the role of media education relevant. In this study, we examine the role of dating apps in shaping online relational dynamics and promoting the diffusion and normalization of ghosting through a critical perspective inspired by the key concepts of Buckingham’s educational media analysis: Language, Representation, Production, and Audience. Therefore, some multidisciplinary educational strategies are proposed to combat ghosting and promote more respectful online relationships, acting on different levels: technological, user, and community. The importance of ethical design of dating apps and media education that encourages reflective and empathetic participation of users and promotes collaboration on a collective and community level emerges.

Published: June 2024

Abstract— Balikpapan Bay PLTU is a large capacity power plant located in the city of Balikpapan, which is located in East Kalimantan. This PLTU with a capacity of 2X110 MW meets the electricity needs of the Barito Mahakam network, which consists of the East Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and South Kalimantan regions. The main fuel for electricity generation is low grade coal (LRC) or low calorie coal. High Speed Diesel (HSD) oil is used as initial fuel. DCS (Distributed Control System) is used for wood management at PLTU Kaltim Teluk. DCS helps operations by monitoring and controlling the main and supporting components, however, management, supervisors and other staff have difficulty knowing the operating conditions of the generating unit remotely because the monitoring system can only be accessed by the control room operator at the CCR. The aim of this research is to design an Internet of Things-based coal handling system control system for PLTU Kaltim Teluk. This real time based digital monitoring system can collect and display data from every sensor in the field. The research method is a literature study method and a field method to apply the design results and collect monitoring data at the two Balikpapan Bay PLTUs. The results show that testing, which includes integration testing with MySQL, functional testing, and URL and Endpoint testing, was carried out successfully. As expected, all the main features and functions of the PLTU monitoring system are running well. This system has averagepercentage error 0.1%. So this study has an accuracy rate of 99.9%. This system has the ability to make it easier for managers to monitor the system.
An Overview on Pulmonary Insulin
Authors: Mitta Sandeep Goud , Tanvi Sannidhi , Bhargavi Uppu , Ruchitha Vemunoori
Published: June 2024

Pulmonary insulin as an alternative to intravascular, intramuscular, and subcutaneous insulin administration, non-invasive insulin administration was created and implemented. It enters the lungs' alveoli through an as-yet-unidentified paracellular process, traverses the alveolar wall, and then circulates throughout the bloodstream. Inhaled insulin was divided into two categories based on its mechanism of action: 1. Rapid acting pulmonary insulin, which quickly disintegrates in the alveoli and circulates throughout the bloodstream as fine powder particles; and 2. slow acting pulmonary insulin. Recently, two technologies were developed: pulmosol powder technology, which employs a rapid drying procedure to make insulin particles of the right size and chemical stability, and AIR technology, which is a porous dry particle aerosol technology. Dry powders, liquid aerosols in cartridge-shaped inhalers, passive inhalers, Microprocessor-controlled inhalers, and liquid nebulizers were the various ways that inhaled insulin was delivered. Many studies have been conducted to examine various intrapulmonary delivery methods, and in January 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration authorized exubera, a dry powder passive inhaler, as the first pulmonary inhaled insulin. The pharmacokinetics of inhaled insulin, dosage guidelines, administration tools, benefits and drawbacks, and candidates for inhaled insulin administration are all discussed in this article.
Multivariate Analyses of Shattering and Seed Yield Related Morphological Traits Reveal High Yielding Sesame Genotypes Exhibit Low Degree of Shattering
Authors: Gedifew Sintayehu
Published: June 2024

Sesame production faces substantial challenges, particularly in terms of shattering. To address this issue, sesame breeding programs focus on developing cultivars with minimized shattering. A pivotal aspect in achieving high-yielding and shatter-resistant cultivars lies in comprehending the association between shattering and traits related to seed yield. Thus, this study aimed to examine the correlation between shattering and morphological traits associated with seed yield, as well as to characterize genotypes based on seed yield and shattering related traits. This study utilized 64 sesame genotypes, employing an 8 x 8 simple lattice design. The study revealed significant positive correlations between shattering and the duration from capsule opening to maturity, as well as the length of cracking on opened capsules. Notably, shattering exhibits a negative correlation with seed yield related morphological traits, such as plant height and branches, suggesting taller genotypes with more branches experience lower shattering. Similarly, shattering-related traits showed a significant negative correlation with yield related morphological traits. This study advocates selecting sesame genotypes with reduced shattering while maintaining high-yielding characteristics. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of sesame genotypes reveals essential insights, with the first four components explaining 72.90% of the total variation. Seed yield and related traits contribute significantly to PC1, emphasizing their importance in explaining variability. Capsule length, shattering (%) and days from capsule opening to maturity have large scores on PC2. PCA confirmed genotypic differences, aiding breeders in selecting high-yielding, low-shattering varieties like AsARC-acc-SG-013 for future breeding programs. Cluster analysis grouped the 64 sesame genotypes into two clusters, where Cluster I and Cluster II represent 40.62% and 59.38% of the total genotypes, respectively. Cluster analysis identifies traits distinguishing Cluster I from II, including plant height, branches, capsules, capsule-bearing zone length, seed yield, and shattering-related traits. Genotypes belonging to Cluster I exhibit superiority for desirable traits.
Impacts of Climate Change on Livestock Productivity and Adaptation Strategies among Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopia: A Review on Climate Smart Livestock Production
Authors: Degefu Sura , Milkias Dawit
Published: June 2024

Ethiopia has the largest livestock number in Africa. Nevertheless, the productivity of this sector faces susceptibility to the effects of climate change and associated risks. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct further research and gather data to gain a deeper understanding of these impacts. This understanding will facilitate the design of effective adaptation and mitigation measures, allowing Ethiopia to effectively respond to the challenges posed by climate change and variability. The primary aim of this article is to provide a review of the impacts of climate change on livestock productivity and summarize adaptation strategies employed by small-scale farmers in Ethiopia. The study highlights an increasing trend in the intensity and frequency of drought occurrences in the country, particularly in pastoralist and agro-pastoralist regions. These trends exacerbate climate-related issues such as limited access to rainfall and water, reduced availability and quality of animal feed, heightened risks of animal diseases, and increased heat stress, resulting in diminished livestock performance. Consequently, collaboration on adaptation programs among stakeholders is crucial to bolster the traditional coping mechanisms of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in response to the adverse effects of climate change. Additionally, comprehensive research is needed to identify and select camel and goat breeds specifically suited for drought-prone areas, serving particular purposes.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: The presence of distant metastases is one of the important predictive factors of poor outcomes in patients with thyroid carcinoma. It is rarely observed at early presentation of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). This study aimed to analyze the frequency of distant metastasis in differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Otolaryngology, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, and Department of Otolaryngology Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), from July 2011 to Jun 2012. A total of 40 patients were selected as study subjects by simple random sampling technique. A descriptive analysis of data was carried out by using a statistical package for social science (SPSS) 22.0 for Windows. Result: In this study, a majority (35, 87.5%) of the patients suffered from papillary carcinoma, followed by (5,12.5%) follicular carcinoma. Considering the distant metastasis, 2 (5.71%) patients had metastasis to the lung among the patients with papillary carcinoma (n=35). 1 patient had lung metastasis and another 1 patient had bony metastasis among the follicular carcinoma patients. In terms of distant metastasis, 50% of the patients had distant metastasis from each papillary and follicular carcinoma. Conclusion: This study concludes that metastasis in differentiated thyroid carcinoma is not uncommon. Distant metastasis is more common in follicular thyroid carcinoma than papillary carcinoma. Lung and bone metastasis are common regarding the site of metastasis.

INTRODUÇÃO: A hemorragia pós-parto é causada por uma perda de sangue durante o parto, podendo ser no parto natural 500ml e cesáreo 1000ml, ou qualquer perda sanguínea que causa instabilidade hemodinâmica na mulher. A HPP é a segunda maior causa de morbimortalidade no Brasil, e a cada 4 min morre uma mulher no mundo devido a HPP. OBJETIVO: Descrever os fatores de risco e prevenção da hemorragia pós-parto em mulheres submetidas ao parto cesáreo. MÉTODO: A pesquisa é uma revisão de literatura, realizada com base na pergunta norteadora: Quais os fatores de risco e prevenções da hemorragia pós-parto em mulheres submetidas ao parto cesáreo? A elaboração da pergunta foi construída por meio da estratégia PICO, sendo “P” população: mulheres grávidas e com risco de hemorragia pós-parto, “I” Interesse: Avaliação dos fatores de risco e prevenção de hemorragia pós-parto em mulheres submetidas a parto cesáreo, “C” e “O” contexto: Descrição dos fatores de risco e prevenção da hemorragia pós-parto em mulheres submetidas ao parto cesáreo. Utilizou-se a busca avançada por meio da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), cruzando os descritores com os operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”. RESULTADOS: Por meio da pesquisa avançada, obteve-se 2.673, que foram filtrados e usados 6 deles na discussão da pesquisa, o que resultou em duas categorias, sendo elas: Medicamentos e prevenções da hemorragia pós-parto; e Fatores de risco que causam a hemorragia pós-parto. CONCLUSÃO: De acordo com o que foi relatado na pesquisa, observa-se que a maioria dos artigos utilizados estavam em inglês, demostrando a falta de artigos sobre o tema no Brasil, além disso, percebemos que é de suma importância o conhecimento do médico e outros profissionais de saúde sobre a hemorragia pós-parto e como agir na prevenção e caso ocorra na hora do parto. Existe diversos fatores de riscos que podem complicar o parto e causar a HPP, no entanto, os mesmos podem ser prevenidos com o uso de algumas medicações antes do bebê nascer, uma delas é a ocitocina.

The aims of this study seeks to examine the underlying linguistics features and ideological concept found in the political speech of American EX President, with a specific emphasis on tweets related to Islamophobia and immigration. The study employs a descriptive and interpretive research design. The corpus of the study consisted of 50 purposely selected Tweets, spanning from 2nd January 2015 to 20th May 2020. Data analysis were conducted using Fairclough's ten-question model (1993). It is found that Trump strategically employed his presidential authority to target Islam and immigration, portraying them as the root cause of terrorism and economic challenges. Trump employed favourable terms while referring to Americans and his supporters, while associating Islam and immigrants with unfavourable descriptors. The findings of this study revealed that Trump employed hyperbole to magnify the perceived threat posed by Islam and immigrants. Trump predominantly employed modal verbs expressing certainty rather than those indicating likelihood in order to demonstrate authority. The future and simple present tenses were commonly used to depict the current threat posed by immigration and the terrorism perpetrated by Islamic groups. The comparative and superlative forms were employed to compare the current state of brightness in the US with its past. The pronouns "we, our, us" were used most frequently to convey a sense of oneness and reduce the perceived barrier between Trump and the audience. Declarative sentences were the most expressive and meaningful acts.
Human Relationships in Robert Frost's Selected Poems
Authors:   university of Baghdad, College of Languages, Abbas Zainab M.
Published: June 2024

Frost's oeuvre is fraught with the exploration of the barriers between individuals. His poetry examines the complexities of human relationships and the obstacles that hinder interaction between people. Some characters cannot overstep these barriers; others are aware of their existence and can overcome them. Amongst the significant obstacles is the materialistic spirit that invaded the world and created concrete barriers between people. They rendered man isolated and consumed by the sense of loneliness and poverty. In "Provide, Provide" (1936) Frost portrays the barriers erected by materialism. Social conventions and the expectations of the society is another obstacle. Some people cannot think for themselves and examine the validity of the inherited conventions that keep them far from others. However, the amendment of these barriers sometimes brings people together for a temporary interaction as shown in "Mending Wall" (1915). Miscommunication and helplessness to express emotions or understand others build emotional and mental barriers that end in total separation of two people which vividly expressed by the married couples in "Home Burial" (1915). The other intimate relationship between the newly married couples in "West Running Brook" (1928) contradicts the former couple. They show love and express acceptance and understanding of each other's views, nature, and mentality. Understanding, love, and trust enable people to have mature interactions that enable them to rise above emotional and mental barriers.

This study assessed students’ knowledge by looking at their learner autonomy in English language learning, the extent of language learning strategies and their English language proficiency. A descriptive method of research was used in this study. The respondents of this study were senior high school students of Magsaysay District during the second semester of the Academic Year 2022-2023. They were selected through a proportional random sampling technique. Several instruments were used by the researcher including the survey questionnaires about learner autonomy in English language learning, the extent of language learning strategies as well as the students’ English language proficiency. It was found that the senior high school students of Magsaysay District have a high level of learner autonomy in English language learning in terms of cognitive, affective motivational, action-oriented and social while moderate in terms of metacognitive. Senior high school students of Magsaysay District have a high level of language learning strategies in terms of compensation, social, metacognitive, cognitive, memory and affective. They have an average level of English language proficiency in terms of grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension. Findings also showed that there is a significant relationship between learner autonomy in English language learning and language learning strategies, between language learning strategies and English language proficiency. However, learner autonomy in English language learning does not affect English language proficiency. Furthermore, results indicate that cognitive best predicts learning language strategy, as well as English language proficiency and cognitive strategy best predicts English language proficiency. In conclusion, the higher the learner autonomy in English language learning, the higher the extent of language learning strategies and the higher the extent of language learning strategies, the higher the English language proficiency.
Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB-soaked gelatin sponge reduces patient pain in palatal graft donor sites

The free gingival graft (FGG) remains a gold standard for treating mucogingival defects and increasing the width of keratinized tissue. However, patients receiving FGG surgery report substantial post-operative discomfort, bleeding, and swelling, more so than those receiving connective tissue grafts, for example, and some of these post-operative sequelae can be difficult to manage. Various techniques are utilized in achieving hemostasis, but no current techniques effectively reduce the pain and discomfort to the patient. Ten FGGs were harvested from the palates of 10 patients to treat mucogingival deficiencies elsewhere in each patient. Immediately (<1 min) after harvesting the FGG, a gelatin sponge soaked in recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) was placed into the wound site and sutured in place with absorbable sutures. Patients were followed up on days 3, 7, and 14 for assessing pain levels utilizing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which incorporate the visual analog scale and the quantification of analgesics consumed. Clinically, the rhPDGF-BB/gelatin sponge-treated FGG palatal donor sites began to heal by day 3 of follow-up, and the healing was completed during the visit on day 14. No adverse effects, including swelling or bleeding, were observed at any of the post-surgical time points. According to the visual pain score, patients experienced minor discomfort, but no dissatisfaction was reported. Patients whose palatal FGG donor site was treated with a gelatin sponge soaked in rhPDGF-BB reported little or no post-surgery discomfort and low morbidity at the donor site within 2 weeks. These findings are in sharp contrast to the well-known substantial discomfort most patients experience following the harvesting of a palatal FGG. The data suggest that treating FGG palatal donor sites with rhPDGF-BB-soaked gelatin sponge can improve patient experience.

Le groupe FEMMIR s’est formé en 2019 pour se pencher sur les problématiques de genre en réanimation : égalité femmes-hommes, discrimination et violences ressenties par les femmes médecin.
La première étape de son travail a été d’établir un état des lieux : le nombre de femmes et d’hommes est relativement semblable parmi les praticien-nes de médecine intensive et réanimation, mais la proportion de femmes diminue aux postes-clés (chef-fes de service, professeur-es, intervenant-es en congrès, expert-es intervenant dans les médias) ; de nombreuses femmes ont déjà vécu par ailleurs des discriminations ou des comportements sexistes voire du harcèlement ou des agressions sexuelles.
La deuxième étape a été d’entreprendre des actions pour promouvoir l’égalité des genres et la sensibilisation aux discriminations : engagement pour la parité au sein des commissions, des congrès et des journaux, création d’une liste d’expertes, publication d’articles de recherche à propos du genre chez les patient-es ou les praticien-nes, mis en place d’un enseignement auprès des internes et de formations aux professionnel-les de santé, communication sur les réseaux sociaux et création de réseaux inter-spécialités et internationaux. 
Le groupe va poursuivre et consolider son action sur ces sujets dans les années à venir.
