Osmanlı Devleti’nin Son Dönemlerinden Cumhuriyet’in İlk Yıllarına Opera Sanatının Türkiye’de Gelişimi
Authors: Karadoğan Umut C. , Erbay Hürol
Published: September 2024

Opera, anlatım konusunu mitoloji, tarih veya güncel yaşamdan alan, bir sahne üzerinde çoksesli orkestra eşliğinde drama, dans ve müzik sanatının tüm inceliklerini kullanılmasıyla ortaya konulan, repliklerin şarkılar eşliğinde söylendiği, “ince” sanat anlayışının kombinasyonu olan müzikli tiyatral bir daldır. XVI. yüzyılın sonunda İtalya’nın Floransa şehrinde ilk örnekleri görülen operanın, XVII. yüzyıldan itibaren sırayla Almanya, İngiltere ve Fransa’ya oradan da tüm Avrupa’ya ulaştığı bilinmektedir.
Osmanlı Devleti’nde ise Avrupa tarzında çoksesli musiki ve opera XVIII. yüzyıldan sonra yurtdışına gönderilen elçiler ve onların hazırladığı raporlar neticesinde padişahlar arasında (III. Selim, II. Mahmud, Sultan Abdülmecid, Sultan Abdülaziz, II. Abdülhamid) doğan ilginin bir neticesidir. XIX. yüzyılın ilk yıllarından itibaren öncelikle İstanbul’da ardından İzmir’de yabancı toplulukların gelerek sanatlarını icra etmeleriyle adı duyulmaya, tesiri görülmeye başlamıştır.
Cumhuriyet Türkiye’sinde ise dönemin yönetim kademesi bu sanat dalı ile yakından ilgilenmiş, ülkenin Avrupa ile uyum sağlama sürecinde “ince sanatların” tesirini fark etmiş ve özellikle gençlerin operaya, bir başka deyişle Avrupa müziğine olan alakalarını artırabilmek adına modern konservatuarların kurulmasına, yurtdışına öğrenciler gönderilmesine, dönemin meşhur yabancı sanatkârlarının ülkeye davet edilmesine önem verilmiştir. Yapılan çalışmada, XIX. Yüzyıldan itibaren Osmanlı coğrafyasında ve sarayında başlayan Avrupa tarzı sanat anlayışının tesiri ve bunun Cumhuriyet Türkiye’sine aktarılması noktasında yaşanan değişim ve gelişmelerinin tarih süreç içerisinde aktarılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu sebeple çalışma içerisinde arşiv belgeleri, birinci elden kaynakların yanı sıra konuyla alakalı sair basılı eserlerden de yararlanılmaya gayret edilmiştir.
Rusya’dan İstanbul’a: Kazan Başpiskoposu Kamenskiy’in Gözünden İstanbul (1888)
Authors: Özkan Murat
Published: September 2024

Gezi notları, farklı kültür ve medeniyetlere sahip bireylerin seyahat serüvenlerini, doğal güzellikleri, ilginç olayları, günlük hayatın içerisindeki iktisadi-toplumsal ilişkileri ve kendi gözlemlerini içeren bir yazın türüdür. Tarih araştırmalarında birincil kaynak olarak kullanılmasına rağmen içerdikleri abartılı ifadeler, kişisel değerlendirmeler ve hatalı bilgiler nedeniyle eleştirilere maruz kalabilir. Son yıllarda sosyal tarih araştırmalarının popülerleşmesiyle birlikte, seyahatname türündeki eserler tarih-kültür araştırmalarında önemli kaynaklar arasında yer almaya başladı. Batılı seyyahların eserleri üzerinde yapılan çalışmalara rağmen, Osmanlı Devleti’nin son dönemlerinde önemli bir muhatap olan Rus seyyahların, araştırmacıların, misyonerlerin veya turistlerin İstanbul ve çevresindeki deneyimlerini içeren hatıraları, Türkiye’de yeterince incelenmedi. XVIII. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren, Rus çarlarının hayalini süsleyen İstanbul ve Osmanlı coğrafyası, Rus liderlerini Bizans’ın varisi ve Ortodoksluğun tek hamisi olarak görmeleri nedeniyle dış politikada öncelikli konular arasında yer almıştı. Bu nedenle Rusya’dan İstanbul’a birçok devlet görevlisi ve seyyah gönderiliyordu. XIX. yüzyıla gelindiğinde ise Doğu kültür ve medeniyetinin önde gelen başkentlerinden biri olan İstanbul’a seyahat etmek, Rus aydınları ve üst sınıfı arasında adeta bir moda haline gelmişti. Bu çalışma, 1888 yılında İstanbul’u ziyaret eden Kazan Başpiskoposu Nikifor Timofeyeviç Kamenskiy’in gezi notlarına dayanarak İstanbul’un günlük yaşamı, sosyal hayatı ve dini atmosferi hakkında önemli bilgiler sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Authors: Köse Metin Ziya
Published: September 2024

18. yüzyıl Bosna’sının tarihi bir arka plan olarak kurgulandığı Derviş ve Ölüm romanı, içerdiği zengin tarihsel anlatı açısından dikkat çekicidir. Bu nitelikli betimleme içerisinde Bosna’nın tarihi vaziyeti ile Dubrovnik arasında ustaca kurulmuş olan bağ, geçmişi bir roman içerisinde doğru ve yerinde anlatmanın tutarlı bir numunesi olma niteliğini gözler önüne sermiştir. Dubrovniklilerin mahir oldukları ticareti başköşeye koyan eser, casuslukla şöhret kazanmalarını da göz ardı etmemiştir. Dubrovnik’in Adriyatik bağlantılı deniz ticareti, Balkanların şehrin ekonomisi açısından ehemmiyeti, Venedik’in büyük rekabet hamleleri ile Avusturya’nın Bosna ve Dubrovnik üzerindeki emelleri eser içerisine serpiştirilmiş yalın cümlelerde adeta haykırırlar. Diplomasi ustası şehrin temel amacı ne Katolik batıya yaranmak ne de doğudaki Müslüman efendiye yardımcı olmaktır. Şehrin iktisadi dinamikleri için atılacak her adımın mübah sayıldığı bu şehir devleti için dış ticaretin sürdürülebilir olması asıl amaçtır. Bu çalışma romandaki Dubrovnik anlatısını tarihi gerçeklikle ilişkilendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yine bu şehir devletinin Yeni Çağ’da Balkan tarihi açısından oynadığı rolün ehemmiyetini ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir.
Phrygia Epiktetos'ta Ölüm
Authors: Türkan Ahmet
Published: September 2024

Phrygia Epiktetos, Strabon ve Pausanias tarafından “Küçük Phrygia” olarak da adlandırılan ve günümüzde Eskişehir ve Kütahya sınırları içinde yer alan bir bölgedir. “Epiktetos” kelimesi “sonradan kazanılan/elde edilen anlamına gelmektedir. MÖ 2.yüzyılda, Pergamon ve Bithynia arasında gerçekleşen savaşlarn sonucunda Pergamon Krallığı’nın hakimiyeti altında Phrygia’nın diğer bölgeleriyle olan politik/kültürel ayrımı vurgulamak için kullanılmıştır. Pegamon Krallığı’nın son döneminde ve Roma hakimiyetinin başlarında politik bir birlik olarak varlık göstermiş, kendi sikkesini basmıştır. Hellenistik ve Roma dönemlerindeki başlıca kentleri Aizanoi, Kotiaeion, Nakoleia, Dorylaion ve Midaion’dur. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu dönemde bu coğrafyada yaşayan insanların ölüm anlayışı ile ölü gömme gelenekleri, arkeolojik ve epigrafik veriler ışığında ele alınmıştır. Nekropol kazılarından gelen bulgular, ölen kişinin sosyo-ekonomik konumu ile ölü gömme geleneği arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymakta, nekropolün konumu, mezar mimarisi ve mezar buluntuları çeşitlilik göstermektedir. Epigrafik veriler, Phrygia’da taşamış olan insanların “ölüm” olgusunu genellikle kader tanrıçaları Moiralar ile ilişkilendirdiğini göstermektedir. Hastalık ve kaza gibi ani ölümlerden kötü ruhlar ya da tanrılar sorumlu tutulmuştur. Ölen kişinin ruhunu rahatlatmak ve onun yaşayanlara musallat olmasını engellemek adına çeşitli ritüeller düzenlenmiş, pek çok sembol ve koruyucu eşya bu amaçla kullanılmıştır. Yazılı belgeler, ölünün yakın çevresinin yaşadığı yas sürecini ve bu süreçte yaşadığı duyguları yansıtmaktadır. Genç ya da ani şekilde ölen insanlar adına duyulan acıma, öfke ve keder ifadelerine sık rastlanmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, sevgi, özlem, onur ve şefkat gibi duygular da ölünün kimliğine göre mezar taşlarında yer bulmuştur.

Published: September 2024

Face recognition plays an important role in various areas of life and has attracted the interest of many scholars in the domain of computer vision, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence. Most of the existing techniques adopted in the recognition of humans through facial images were found to be efficient but are computationally expensive due to the high dimension of facial images, which in turn increases processing speed and memory consumption. In this research, an enhanced model is proposed. Consequently, 6 facial images from 60 individuals were locally acquired using a Canon digital camera of default size 1200 × 1200. Thereafter, 240 images were used for training, while 120 images were used for testing. The enhanced model reduced the high dimension of images with improved feature extraction accuracy. Results showed significant improvement when compared to the existing ones.
Special functions with general kernel: Properties and applications to fractional partial differential equations
Authors: Ata Enes , Kıymaz İsmail Onur
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we reconstruct the gamma and beta functions using a general kernel function in their integral representations. We also reconstruct the Gauss and confluent hypergeometric functions using the beta function with general kernel in their series representations. The general kernel function we use here can be chosen as any special function such as exponential function, Mittag-Leffler function, Wright function, Fox-Wright function, Kummer function or M-series. Using different choices of this general kernel function, various of the generalized gamma, beta, Gauss hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions in the literature can be obtained. In this paper, we first obtain the integral representations, functional relations, summation, derivative and transformation formulas and double Laplace transforms of the special functions we construct. Furthermore, we compute the solutions of some fractional partial differential equations involving special functions with general kernel via the double Laplace transform and graph some of the solutions for specific values. Finally, we obtain the incomplete beta function with general kernel by defining the beta distribution with general kernel.
Nematode genome announcement: A chromosome-scale genome assembly for the Pristionchus pacificus reference mapping strain PS1843
Authors: Röseler Waltraud , Sommer Ralf J. , Rödelsperger Christian
Published: September 2024

Pristionchus pacificus is a free-living nematode that shares many features with Caenorhabditis elegans, such as its short generation time and hermaphroditism, but also exhibits novel traits, i.e., a mouth-form dimorphism that enables predation. The availability of various genetic tools and genomic resources make it a powerful model organism for comparative studies. Here, we present an updated genome of the P. pacificus strain PS1843 (Washington) that is most widely used for genetic analysis. Assembly of PacBio reads together with reference-guided scaffolding resulted in a chromosome-scale genome spanning 171Mb for the PS1843 strain. Whole genome alignments between the P. pacificus PS1843 genome and the genome of the P. pacificus reference strain PS312 (California) revealed megabase-sized regions on chromosomes III, IV, and X that explain the majority of genome size difference between both strains. The improved PS1843 genome will be useful for future forward genetic studies and evolutionary genomic comparisons at the intra-species level.
Zero-Emissions, Off-grid, Autonomous Houseboat – a Case Study of Selected Locations in Europe
Authors: Gorzka Jakub , Karczewski Artur , Litwin Wojciech , Matej-Łukowicz Karolina , Nawrot Nicole , Nyka Lucyna , Piątek Łukasz
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of creating a prototype of a self-sufficient houseboat that is capable of prolonged independence from power grids and freshwater sources. In this design, electricity demand is met by a photovoltaic installation, and the energy is stored in batteries. Fresh water for living needs may be obtained from many sources, depending on the environmental conditions, such as through purifying outboard water, desalinating seawater, and collecting and storing rainwater. No waste production of the vessel can be achieved in two ways: waste can be treated and discharged into a body of water, or processed into fertiliser for later use in agriculture. Four possible locations were analysed: Rome, Lisbon, Gdańsk and Stockholm. The findings reveal that the length of time for which the unit is autonomous and emission-free depends on the geographical location of the facility. In periods when there is overproduction of energy, the system can produce hydrogen, donate energy to the grid, use it for the needs of its own movement, or perform other useful work, e.g. cleaning or aerating the water body on which it is floating.
Methods of Real-Time Parametric Diagnostics for Marine Diesel Engines

Published: September 2024

Using modern high-performance microcontrollers with wireless interfaces, built-in ADCs and low overall consumption, we develop a portable, real-time parametric diagnostic system for marine engines. The system is based on the use of modern Android/iOS gadgets that receive information from sensors via Bluetooth and then carry out the necessary calculations and display charts and data in real time. The system developed here uses a combination of a gas pressure sensor in the working cylinder and a vibroacoustic sensor, which expands the diagnostic capabilities of marine diesel engines under operating conditions. This solution allows for diagnosis of the fuel injection system, the valve train mechanism, and several other engine systems. In order to develop a portable diagnostic system for marine diesel engines, it is first necessary to solve the problem of analytically determining top dead centre (TDC), since such a system does not use special sensors for this. An algorithm for determining TDC is proposed here, based on an analysis of the measured pressure diagram rather than its derivative, which minimises the influence of digital and analogue noise. Our algorithm for determining TDC and subsequent data synchronisation is applicable in the absence of information about the actual compression ratio in the cylinder, which is a typical scenario for modern engines with variable valve timing. The algorithm also works under conditions of only approximate data on the charge air pressure, which are refined during the iteration process. A formula is proposed for determining the initial TDC position. Parameters for irregular operation of the engine are considered, and can be calculated in real time using time diagrams of pressure and vibration. Methods for expressly assessing the stability of the functioning of the main engine systems by monitoring and analysing a number of successive operating cycles are considered. To assess the unevenness of operation of the engine, a dispersion estimate of the deviations in the main parameters is used. To enable a comprehensive assessment of the engine stability in real time, the CII (cycle irregularity index) criterion is developed. The data processing methods described in this article provide an accurate estimate of the indicated power, due to the precise determination of TDC, thereby enabling an analysis of the stability of the operating cycles, optimal tuning of the engine systems, and monitoring of the results during operation.

Published: September 2024

Objective

Anxiety and depression are common disorders in children and adolescents and can have a negative impact on their lives. The Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale – Child and Parent versions (RCADS and RCADS-P) are widely used standardized measurement tools, but the Slovenian versions have not yet been validated. The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Slovenian version of RCADS and RCADS-P in a representative Slovenian school sample.

Methods

We examined the psychometric properties (factor structure, internal reliability, short-term stability, inter-rater agreement and convergent validity) of the Slovenian version of the RCADS and the RCADS-P in 754 primary and secondary school students and parents of 485 students. The short-term stability of anxiety and depressive symptoms in youth was assessed in a subsample of 117 children and adolescents.

Results

Confirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable fit of the 6-factor model with CFI=0.92, TLI=0.92 and RMSEA=0.056 for RCADS and with CFI=0.93, TLI=0.92 and RMSEA=0.047 for RCADS-P. Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω ranged from 0.70 to 0.95 for the total scale and the six subscales. The subscales correlated significantly positively with the total Child Anxiety Life Interference Scale score.

Conclusion

The results affirm the good psychometric properties of the Slovenian versions of RCADS and RCADS-P within a school-based sample. There is a need in the future to examine psychometric properties in clinical samples and to provide normative data.

Published: September 2024

Introduction

This article presents the development, implementation and results of the project “An interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of overweight children” under the name “My Challenge” camp. It is a 2-week multidisciplinary programme involving a physician, a dietitian, a psychologist, an occupational therapist or physiotherapist and a kinesiologist. The children stay in camp for 2 weeks and are actively involved in the daily preparation of healthy meals, participate in cooking workshops and interactive nutrition lessons, and are active outdoors throughout the programme.

Methods

The study included 117 overweight or obese children, aged 7–18 years, 66 girls and 51 boys from ten camps between 2017 and 2023. Completed dietary questionnaires and anthropometric measurements were compared at baseline, after 2 weeks, and after 1 month.

Results

Changes in children's diets include an increase in meal frequency, in higher vegetables, fish, and seafood consumption, lower consumption of fried food and reduced consumption of sugary drinks. Boys more frequently consume fried food than girls and less frequently consume milk and dairy products. After one month, there was a decrease in body fat percentage, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio in both genders.

Conclusions

The “My Challenge” camp demonstrates promising outcomes in combating childhood obesity. Through a two-week multidisciplinary programme, significant improvements in dietary habits and anthropometric measures were observed. The findings underscore the importance of preventive education programmes for children in addressing the long-term health consequences of obesity. Further research and continued implementation of such initiatives are warranted to effectively tackle this public health issue.

Published: September 2024

Noticing is the teacher's ability to pay attention to critical moments during learning. The noticing ability of preservice mathematics teachers can be trained by watching video recordings of teaching practices. However, there are limited video clips that can be used as teaching materials to develop the noticing abilities of preservice mathematics teachers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the characteristic of preservice mathematics teacher’s ability to notice. Video clips consist of a series of significant moments to observe. This research used a survey of moments in video recordings of preservice mathematics teachers when noticing their students' thinking in the learning process. The data analysis was based on learning video clips, containing the complexity of noticing problems related to the preservice mathematics teacher’s ability. The results indicated that the identified video clips, recordings of classroom interactions, featured teacher activities such as asking, guiding, responding, and assisting students. However, the preservice teachers demonstrated a low ability to notice, particularly in the interpreting and shaping aspects. These video clips, specifically those that highlight these teacher activities, can be utilized as learning tools in teacher development programs to enhance preservice teachers' noticing skills, especially in interpreting and shaping aspects.

Published: September 2024

Mathematical literacy is one of the 21st-century skills students need to have. However, the PISA 2022 results revealed that Indonesian students' mathematical literacy decreased. Therefore, the government suggests that teachers integrate literacy activities in the teaching and learning process, including mathematics learning. This study integrated ethnomathematics of Aceh culture as an attempt to develop students’ mathematical literacy. This study intends to describe students’ mathematical literacy through ethnomathematics-based learning in two school settings: suburban and rural. This study employed a descriptive method. The participants involved 42 Grade 10 students from suburban and rural high schools in Pidie Regency, Indonesia, selected by the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from students' written answers to the problems listed in the worksheet and analyzed descriptively. The finding revealed that, overall, the mathematical literacy of suburban school students surpassed that of rural school students. Among the mathematical literacy aspects, employing received the highest score, and interpreting got the lowest for both schools. The implications of this study are discussed further in this paper.

Authors: Sari Ani Retno , Hidayati Kana
Published: September 2024

Creative thinking skills are among those that need to be developed in 21st-century learning. Students' creative thinking skills can be improved through CTL, which provides opportunities to explore the relationship between mathematics and the real world. This research aims to determine the application of CTL to enhance students' creative thinking skills in solving linear equation problems. This research used a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The study was conducted with a class of seventh-grade students at a middle school in Yogyakarta. The research subjects consisted of 32 seventh- grade students. The research results show a difference in students' average creative thinking skills in solving linear equation problems before and after implementing CTL. Students' creative thinking skills in the high and medium categories meet the indicators. Meanwhile, students with low creative thinking skills still need help creating mathematical models and solving problems. Further research is required to explore how CTL can be focused on improving the creative thinking skills of students with low levels of ability.

El servicio ecosistémico (SE) de regulación de inundaciones es un beneficio que se obtiene de la capacidad de los ecosistemas para retener agua y disminuir la velocidad de las corrientes que se forman durante y después de un evento de precipitación. Este servicio se puede evaluar desde los puntos de vista biofísico y económico. En ambos casos, la valoración busca dimensionar el impacto de las inundaciones en términos físicos y monetarios sobre el bienestar de la sociedad. En ese sentido, el presente trabajo evaluó este SE bajo dos escenarios de precipitación (máxima registrada en un día con y sin evento hidrometeorológico extremo) sobre el sector agrícola para dos cuencas en México. En Ameca-Mascota, se inundarían entre 231 y 557 km2, lo cual afectaría entre 120 y 332 km2 de cultivos. En Jamapa, se inundarían entre 926 y 1,370 km2, esto afectaría entre 481 y 548 km² de cultivos y pastizales. En términos económicos, las inundaciones originarían pérdidas anuales en la producción entre USD$ 8.3 millones y USD$ 67 millones, y entre USD$ 11 millones y USD$ 88 para dichas cuencas, respectivamente. Los resultados de este tipo de estudios, tanto biofísicos como económicos, son un insumo valioso para fortalecer el manejo de las cuencas mediante la implementación de acciones de conservación y usos sostenibles de los servicios ecosistémicos.

Resultados: Os achados indicam que há uma forte associação entre os sintomas de depressão pós-parto, como estresse, medo e tristeza, e o desmame precoce. Além disso, baixos níveis de ocitocina-plasmática no pré-natal e pós-parto podem ser indicativo de interrupção precoce ou ausência da amamentação.  Considerações finais: As análises dos diferentes tipos de estudos demonstram que a DPP configuras-se uma problemática que interfere na prática de aleitamento materno exclusivo, desta forma, propõe a promoção de programas e projetos sociais que orientem o adequado acompanhamento pré-natal da gestante de forma a prevenir ou atenuar os efeitos deletérios da DPP.
Hepatitis C virus genotypes among population with reported risk factors in Assam, north-east India: Emergence of genotype-8
Authors: Das Sagarika , Medhi Devyashree , Talukdar Anjan Jyoti , Raja Dina , Sarma Kishore , Sarma Anisha , Saikia Lahari
Published: September 2024

Background & objectives

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) exhibits extensive genetic diversity in infected hosts. There are few published reports of HCV genotype (GT) distribution from the north-east Indian States lying close to the ‘Golden Triangle’ known for illicit drug trafficking. Real-time knowledge of HCVGT distribution is important for studies on epidemiologic aspects and virus evolution and for the development of new target-specific, direct-acting antiviral drugs. This study aims to examine the distribution of HCVGTs and their subtypes in different risk groups from Assam, north-east India.

Methods

It is a hospital-based cross-sectional study. Plasma samples reactive for anti-HCV antibody in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were subjected to viral load test and genotyping by real-time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) or characterization of non-structural protein NS5B region by nested PCR. Nucleotide sequences were subjected to phylogenetic analysis.

Results

The most common HCVGT detected was GT-3 (95.89%), followed by GT-1 (3.42%), GT-6xa (0.34%) and GT-8 (0.34%). The mean age of subjects was 30.24 yr, and males outnumbered females. The most commonly associated risk factor was injecting drug use (IDU) (74.31%), followed by tattooing and/or piercing (33.22%), transfusion of blood/blood products (10.27%), and haemodialysis (9.25%). Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was found in 17.8 per cent, and with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 3.42 per cent of the cases.

Interpretation & conclusions

The detection of HCVGT-8 makes this the first report from Assam and the second from India as per the authors’ knowledge. This may indicate strain’s endemic nature in India. The increasing trend of HCV infection among young IDUs and HCV-HIV co-infection indicates the need for enhancing surveillance and intensified prevention efforts among young adults.
Factors associated with under-five mortality in Scheduled Tribes in India: An analysis of national family health survey-5 (2019-2021)
Authors: Kunjumon Aswathy , Nagarajan Sivakami , Thodukayil Fathima Sherin Ottakkam , Panneer Sigamani
Published: September 2024

Background & objectives

Under-five mortality is high among the Scheduled Tribes (ST) in India compared with the general population. This study examined the association of different maternal, child, socio demographic, and household factors associated with under-five mortality among Scheduled Tribes in India.

Methods

Data from the National Family and Health Survey (NFHS)-5 (2019-2021) for the ST, across all Indian States and Union Territories were used for analyses. Binary and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify the association of maternal, child, socio-demographic, and household factors with under-five mortality among the ST population.

Results

Different maternal, child, socio demographic, and household factors were significantly associated with under-five mortality. The odds of under-five mortality were highest among women who gave birth to their children at home [Adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.42; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.268-1.59] as compared with women who gave birth at institution. Literate women have lesser odds of under-five mortality than women with no formal education (AOR: 0.666; 95% CI: 0.501-0.885). The risk of under-five mortality was higher among four or more birth order children (AOR: 1.422; 95% CI: 1.246-1.624) compared with the first to third birth order children. The odds of under-five mortality decreased among children with a rich wealth index (AOR: 0.742; 95% CI: 0.592-0.93) compared to children with a poor wealth index.

Interpretation & conclusions

Analyses of under-five mortality among ST in India showed a significant association between different maternal, child, sociodemographic, and household factors. Grass-roots-level interventions such as promoting female education, addressing vast wealth differentials, and providing family planning services with a focus on reducing under-five mortality are essential in improving the survival of under-five children among the ST population in India.

Meeting global sustainable development and climate goals requires a rapid transition to renewable energy technologies. However, these emerging technologies rely on critical elements whose sourcing presents geopolitical and environmental challenges. In this study, we explore ferromanganese nodules from the Oacoma Site in South Dakota as a viable feedstock for sourcing manganese, a critical element used in the production of battery cathodes, consumer electronics, and steel. The nodules are readily accessible from the surface site and primarily consist of rhombohedral metal carbonates, including manganese at 3.5–5.4 at% (9.2– 14.1 wt%) relative to all the elements present in the nodules. Based on titration experiments and an equilibrium speciation model, we developed a strategy for extracting the manganese by selectively dissolving carbonate phases in acidic conditions, followed by selectively re-precipitating manganese oxide in alkaline conditions. Specifically, exposing the samples to pH 1.5–2 dissolved almost all the calcium and manganese ions, while retaining a significant portion of the iron and magnesium in the residual nodule powders. Subsequently, increasing the pH of the leachate to 5.7 resulted in the selective re-precipitation of predominantly iron hydroxide. Further increasing the pH of the leachate solution to 10.9 finally produced a relatively pure manganese oxide product. Our pH cycling approach recovered 65.7–74.2% of the manganese in the nodules at 70.3–85.4 at% (81.5–91.0 wt%) purity relative to the other metals, without the need for specialty chemicals, membranes, ligands, or resins, and without generating highly acidic wastes. We further performed a preliminary assessment of the scalability and industrial relevance of this process to explore these nodules as a feedstock for sustainable sourcing of manganese.

Recent technological advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the role microbial communities play in the human body. The gut microbiota, one of the most diverse microbiomes, consists of over 35,000 bacterial species and 10 million genes, leading researchers to consider it as an additional organ. This whiles relatively stable within each individual highly influenced by exogenous and endogenous factors. Collectively, the gut microbiota functions as a "second genome", profoundly impacting the host’s metabolic pathways and regulating the body’s complex homeostatic balance.

Research into the "microbe–host" interaction, both in health and disease, has garnered worldwide scientific. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the gut microbiota undergoes significant changes, and growing evidences suggests that dysbiosis plays a crucial role in the progression of renal failure. Key pathological process, such as the production of gut-derived uremic toxins, decreased synthesis of short– chain fatty acids, altered intestinal pH, compromised intestinal barrier function, and heightened systemic inflammation, are all linked the intestinal microbiota. However, relationship between these changes and the pathogenesis and progression of kidney disease requires further investigation. Advances in microbiome research, including metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analyses, alongside proteomic, metabolomics, and immunomic studies, have greatly expanded our understanding of microbiomal community structure and functions. These technologies, coupled with mechanistic experiments in model systems, have deepened our knowledge of how the microbiome influences metabolism. Current research aims to explore the bidirectional relationship between the microbiota and the host, identifying potential interventions that could help restore a mutualistic relationship.

This research was conducted to examine the seasonal variations in the Banda Sea's thermocline layer and its water mass characteristics. The research was conducted by analyzing Argo Float data. The data consists of six observation stations in West Season and Transitional Season II, and four stations in Transition Season I and East Season The thermocline layer thickness was identified based on the depth where the temperature decreased ≥ 0.05oC/m. The thermocline layer's distribution of depth and thickness and the distribution of temperature and salinity seasonally in the thermocline layer were analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2010. The analysis results showed that East Season and Transition Season II have a shallower upper boundary depth of the thermocline layer, a deeper lower boundary of the thermocline layer, and the thermocline layer is thicker when compared to the West Season and Transition Season I. The average temperature distribution is higher and the average salinity is lower in the West Season and Transition Season I. The mean rate of change in salinity and temperature in the thermocline layer seasonally ranged from 0.002-0.004 PSU/m and 0.06-0.08oC/m. The thermocline layer's stratification is stronger in the West Season and Transition Season I.
