Efsuncu Baba Romanı Işığında Türkiye'de Diliçi Çeviri
Authors: ÇEKÇİ Selim Ozan
Published: July 2023

Diliçi çeviri, son yıllardaki güncel araştırmalarla birlikte geçmişe göre adından daha çok söz ettirmeye başlayan bir Çeviribilim alt alanıdır. Teorik olarak diliçi çevirinin sınırları ilk kez 1959 yılında Roman Jakobson tarafından belirlenmiş olmasına karşın dil içi ve diller arası meselesinde çizilen sınırların muğlaklığı Jakobson’ın tanımlamalarının çeşitli araştırmacılarca sorunsallaştırılmasına yol açmıştır. Diliçi çeviri bir dil/kültür içerisinde gerçekleşen bir edim olduğundan bu alandaki araştırmalar sıklıkla tek bir kültüre özgüdür, dolayısıyla Çeviribilim içerisinde özel bir yerinin olduğu iddia edilebilir. Diliçi çeviri, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti tarihinde yapılan dil reformları ve alfabe değişikliği ile, diğer kültür ve ülkelerden farklı, ideolojik bir kökten beslenen kendine has bir alanı oluşturmaktadır. Kültüre özgü oluşu ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ndeki özel konumuna rağmen, Çeviribilim içerisinde bu alanda yapılan araştırmalarla hala aydınlatılmayı bekleyen birçok nokta kalmıştır. Bu çalışmada, diliçi çevirinin kuramsal çerçevesi irdelenerek, çeviribilimdeki yeri, üç temel nedene dayandırılarak Türkiye’de çeviribilimde karşılaşılan zorluklar ve Türk modernleşmesindeki rolü incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu çerçevede vaka çalışmasında Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar’ın Efsuncu Baba adlı romanının çapraz zamansal (cross-temporal) diliçi çevirileri incelenip, çeviribilimin bir alt alanı olarak diliçi çeviriyi kavramsallaştırmak ve çeviribilim içinde yeniden konumlandırmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Efsuncu Baba romanının 1924’te Arap alfabesiyle ilk basımı ve sonrasında sırasıyla 1954, 1966, 1995 ve 2009’da yapılan farklı diliçi çevirileri karşılaştırılıp çözümlemesi yapılacaktır.

Chagas disease is a neglected endemic disease prevalent in Latin American countries, affecting around 8 million people. The first-line treatment, benznidazole (BNZ), is effective in the acute stage of the disease but has limited efficacy in the chronic stage, possibly because current treatment regimens do not eradicate transiently dormant Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) appear to be a promising approach for delivering pharmaceutical active ingredients as they can have a positive impact on bioavailability by modifying the absorption, distribution, and elimination of the drug. In this study, BNZ was successfully loaded into nanocarriers composed of myristyl myristate/Crodamol oil/poloxamer 188 prepared by ultrasonication. A stable NLC formulation was obtained, with ≈80% encapsulation efficiency (%EE) and a biphasic drug release profile with an initial burst release followed by a prolonged phase. The hydrodynamic average diameter and zeta potential of NLC obtained by dynamic light scattering were approximately 150 nm and −13 mV, respectively, while spherical and well-distributed nanoparticles were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and small-angle X-ray scattering analyses of the nanoparticles indicated that BNZ might be dispersed in the nanoparticle matrix in an amorphous state. The mean size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, and %EE of the formulation remained stable for at least six months. The hemolytic effect of the nanoparticles was insignificant compared to that of the positive lysis control. The nanoparticle formulation exhibited similar performance in vitro against T. cruzi compared to free BNZ. No formulation-related cytotoxic effects were observed on either Vero or CHO cells. Moreover, BNZ showed a 50% reduction in CHO cell viability at 125 µg/mL, whereas NLC-BNZ and non-loaded NLC did not exert a significant effect on cell viability at the same concentration. These results show potential for the development of new nanomedicines against T. cruzi.
Synthesis of imidazo[4,5-e][1,3]thiazino[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazines via a base-induced rearrangement of functionalized imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazines

A series of imidazo[4,5-e][1,3]thiazino[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazines was synthesized via a cascade sequence of hydrolysis and skeletal rearrangement of imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazin-7(8H)-ylidene)acetic acid esters in methanol upon treatment with excess KOH. Imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-6(7H)-ylidene)acetic acid esters are also suitable substrates for the reaction. In this case hydrolysis and thiazole ring expansion were accompanied with the change of the thiazolotriazine junction type from thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazine to thiazino[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazine.
Ask ChatGPT: Kim Dae-sik and ChatGPT, translated by Choo Seo-yeon and others, “The Future of Humanity Ask ChatGPT” (East Asia, 2023)
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Kim Hwa-seon
Published: July 2023

This review examines the meaning of ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) model developed by OpenAI, and Professor Kim Dae-sik, a brain scientist, exchanged questions and answers on topics such as human relations, love, and happiness, risks facing mankind, God's existence and death. First, we asked ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft's search engine “Newbing” to write a book review on “The Future of Mankind Ask ChatGPT,” and then analyzed the contents and composition of each answer. The book review written by ChatGPT was presented in the form of “Overall Introduction-Book Composition Method and Theme-Limitations and Significance of ChatGPT-General Review,” and the flow of the article was generally smooth, but it was difficult to find the writer’s fresh perspective. Google’s Bard article confirmed that the text generation method of artificial intelligence chatbots focuses on universal summaries and simple and clear explanations rather than individuality and originality. Microsoft’s search engine “Newbing,” based on the GPT-4 model, specifically cited the contents of the book to increase reliability and reveal the source in consideration of the issue of intellectual property infringement.
Looking at the conversation scenes between humans and machines, I thought about the significance of the conversation. In order for “ask-answer” to be a process of generating meaning, curiosity, and curiosity about not only oneself but also others and the world must be placed behind it. In addition, to continue the conversation, a literacy ability to discover meaning is required, and literacy presupposes the ability to read between the lines and grasp contextual knowledge. This eventually requires the imagination to fill the gap and the overall perspective to grasp the relationship between the part and the whole, the part and the part. The process of finding meaning is the ability to think about surplus and outside and grasp the context, and if you say one thing, it is no different from the sense of recognizing heat. The sensibility that knows how to capture nuances belongs to the realm of humanism, which is essential for humans to sense and judge an object or phenomenon.
Therefore, Professor Kim Dae-sik’s conclusion in “Epilogue II” of “The Future of Humanity Ask ChatGPT” has great implications. The eye to distinguish the voices of individuals, which contain nuances subtly different from those that “probabilistic parrots” imitate plausibly, is based on humanities knowledge that cannot be easily filled with the names of efficiency, probability, and practicality. To exist as thinking human beings, we realize again that we must ask ‘why’ rather than ‘what’ and rely on the logic of coincidence and the specific context of life, not on the axis of stochastic thinking. And at the core of it, there is humanity that repeatedly asks and answers with a long-term perspective.

Authors: Shuwaibatul Aslamiah Ghazalli  , Hazlina Selamat  , Nurulaqilla Khamis  , Mohammad Fadzli Haniff
Published: July 2023

High quality palm oil is critical in ensuring Malaysia’s competitiveness in the sector. Studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between the quality of palm oil produced and the ripeness of the fruits used in producing the oil. Correct ripeness of the fresh fruit bunches (FFB) produces higher quality and more oil content. Unripe FFB produces the least oil and overripe FFB produces oil of lower quality. According to Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), the main factors that determine the ripeness of the oil palm FFB are its colour and the number of its loose fruits. To classify the ripeness according to these two factors, there are 3 common techniques has been implemented in the previous work which are; colour feature extraction, texture feature extraction and Deep Learning method. To handle fruit ripeness classification problem, this paper provides a short review to the reader to grasp the applicable technique that can be implemented.
Will restricting rural land expropriation reduce rural land value capture? Local government strategies through the lens of policy instruments
Authors: Wang Weifang , Spit Tejo
Published: July 2023

The practice of land value capture (LVC) from collectively owned rural land is undergoing changes in rural land marketisation as local governments are constrained in their power to expropriate rural land. Previous studies have either overestimated short-term rural LVC losses or exaggerated long-term urban LVC increases, while generally neglecting long-term rural LVC changes. Here, we present an analytical framework via the prism of policy instruments to make sense of the evolving practice of rural LVC. Our empirical evidence from China considers disparities in practice and outcomes across scales of governance and between inland–coastal and urban–rural settings, based on 145 semi-structured interviews from 430 transaction cases. We offer insight into discussions concerning stakeholder relationships in rural LVC.

Observations of Mini Coronal Dimmings Caused by Small-scale Eruptions in the Quiet Sun
Authors: Wang Rui , Liu Ying D. , Zhao Xiaowei , Hu Huidong
Published: July 2023

Small-scale eruptions could play an important role in coronal heating, generation of solar energetic particles (SEPs), and mass source of the solar wind. However, they are poorly observed, and their characteristics, distributions, and origins remain unclear. Here a mini coronal dimming was captured by the recently launched Solar Orbiter spacecraft. The observations indicate that a minifilament eruption results in the dimming and takes away approximately (1.65 ± 0.54) × 1013 g of mass, which also exhibits similar features as the sources of SEP events. The released magnetic free energy is of the order of ∼1027 erg. Our results suggest that weak constraining force makes the flux rope associated with the minifilament easily enter a torus-unstable domain. We discuss that weak magnetic constraints from low-altitude background fields may be a general condition for the quiet-Sun eruptions, which provide a possible mechanism for the transport of coronal material and energy from the lower to the middle or even higher corona.
Taxonomic revision and biogeography of Micraglossa Warren, 1891 from laurel forests in China (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Crambidae: Scopariinae)
Authors: Li Weichun , Li Houhun , Nuss Matthias
Published: July 2023

Micraglossa Warren, 1891 is investigated from China, where this genus approaches its northernmost occurrence. Specimens were available from 48 Chinese localities, and additional material from nearby countries has been investigated in order to analyse the distribution of the species. Altogether, 620 individuals (351PP, 269OO) were investigated. As a result, ten species of Micraglossa are now recorded from China. Four of them are described as new from China: M. michaelshafferi sp.n. (also from Thailand), M. zhongguoensis sp.n. (also from Vietnam), M. nana sp.n. (also from Vietnam) and M. beia sp.n. Two species, M. fl avidalis Hampson, 1907 and M. beia sp.n. are known only from China. Three species originally described from India and one species originally described from Japan are now recorded for the fi rst time from other countries: M. straminealis (Hampson, 1903) from China and Nepal, M. aureata Inoue, 1982 from China, M. oenealis Hampson, 1897 from Nepal and M. scoparialis Warren, 1891 from Pakistan, Nepal and Vietnam, the latter two were previously recorded from China. M. manoi Sasaki, 1998, originally described from Taiwan, is now recorded for the fi rst time from continental China as well as from Nepal. All species are described in detail and keys for their identifi cation are provided, separately for males and females. Wing pattern and male and female genitalia are illustrated for all species. Lectotypes are designated for M. straminealis and M. oenealis. Mapping the Chinese records of Micraglossa against climate data illustrates that frost below a mean minimum temperature of the coldest month (January) of -10°C is not tolerated. Therefore, the northern limit of distribution of this taxon is marked by the -10°C isotherm. We discuss the link between Micraglossa and the laurel and oreotropic forests in Asia, and to a larval feeding habit in cushions of mosses and liverworts. Further local research is necessary to identify biotic and abiotic requirements for the occurrence of Micraglossa species more precisely.
The morphology of galerucine and alticine larvae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and its phylogenetic implications
Authors: Hua Yi , Beutel Rolf , Ge Si-Qin , Nie Rui-E , Yang Xing-Ke
Published: July 2023

External characters of alticine and galerucine larvae were examined. Larvae with distinctly different feeding habits were described in detail and their external features were illustrated, mainly using SEM. The morphological descriptions and the used nomenclature may be used as a template for future studies on chrysomelid larvae to facilitate the phylogenetic evaluation of morphological characters of immature stages. Features potentially useful for phylogenetic reconstruction were compiled and arranged in a character state matrix. The usefulness of larval characters was critically evaluated. A larval groundplan of the galerucine-alticine lineage was reconstructed. Supported conventional groups are the Galerucinae s.l. (i.e. incl. alticines), the galerucine Luperini, Hylaspini, and Oidini, and the alticine Blepharida-group, placed as sister group of the Oides species. A large monophyletic unit is formed by Altica, the alticine leaf-miners Podagricomela and Argopistes, the alticine root feeders Phygasia and Longitarsus, and the galerucine genera Monolepta, Exosoma and Diabrotica. The phylogenetic results and the effects of different life and feeding habits are discussed. Surface-feeding is ancestral for the galerucine-alticine clade. Leafmining has distinct effects on the morphology.
The head of Heterogyrus milloti (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae) and its phylogenetic implications
Authors: Beutel Rolf , Yan Evgeny , Richter Adrian , Büsse Sebastian , Miller Kelly , Yavorskaya Margarita , Wipfler Benjamin
Published: July 2023

Head structures of Heterogyrus milloti Legros, 1953 are described in detail and documented with different morphological techniques, including μ-computed tomography and computer-based 3D reconstructions. The results are compared with cephalic conditions found in other gyrinid taxa and the observed characters are interpreted and analysed phylogenetically. Nine unambiguous cephalic apomorphies support the monophyly of Gyrinidae. In addition to well-known characters like the subdivided compound eyes and highly modified antennae, this includes the very tight connection of the dorsal surface of the head with the anterior pronotal margin, the presence of a clypeofrontal gland, the separation of a lateral portion from the clypeus, and the loss of the dorsal tentorial arm. Unambiguous synapomorphies of Heterogyrus and Gyrininae sensu Miller and Bergsten (2012) are the relatively widely separated dorsal and ventral ocular subunits, the absence of tactile setae on the head capsule, the shortened mesal mandibular edge, widely separated mandibular incisivi, three rows of setae on the labrum, the enlargement of the lateral mental lobes, and the loss of the stipital muscle attached to the galea. The monophyly of Gyrininae (excl. Heterogyrus) is supported by the widened bridge between the dorsal and ventral ocular subunits, the reduced size and dorsal shift of the dorsal eye, its distinct separation from the anterior pronotal margin, the detachment of the lateral frontal ridge from the supraocular bead, the almost completely reduced setation of the antennal flagellum, and a one-segmented galea. The steep frontal side of the head, a transverse regular field of setae on the frontal region, and the fused laminatentoria are autapomorphies of Spanglerogyrus Folkerts, 1979. A field of sensilla on the interocular antennal groove is a potential cephalic autapomorphy of Heterogyrus. The cephalic characters we analysed remain ambiguous about the interrelationships among the three tribes currently recognized in Gyrininae.

Published: July 2023

Akanthomyces species have only been reported from Guizhou and Qinghai Province, with few reports from other regions in China. In this research, the species diversity of Akanthomyces in the Jinyun Mountains, Chongqing was investigated. Fourteen infected spider specimens were collected and two new species (A. bashanensis and A. beibeiensis) and a known species (A. tiankengensis) were established and described according to a multi-locus phylogenetic analysis and the morphological characteristics. Our results reveal abundant Akanthomyces specimens and three species were found at Jinyun Mountain. Due to its being an important kind of entomopathogenic fungi, further attention needs to be paid to the diversity of other entomopathogenic fungi in Chongqing, China.
An improved genetic algorithm for solving the helicopter routing problem with time window in post-disaster rescue
Authors: Yang Kaidong , Duan Peng , Yu Huishan
Published: July 2023

The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a highly significant and extensively studied issue in post-disaster rescue. In recent years, there has been widespread utilization of helicopters for post-disaster rescue. However, efficiently dispatching helicopters to reach rescue sites in post-disaster rescue is a challenge. To address this issue, this study models the issue of dispatching helicopters as a specific variant of the VRP with time window (VRPTW). Considering that the VRPTW is an NP-hard problem, the genetic algorithm (GA) as one of the prominent evolutionary algorithms with robust optimization capabilities, is a good candidate to deal with this issue. In this study, an improved GA with a local search strategy and global search strategy is proposed. To begin, a cooperative initialization strategy is proposed to generate an initial population with high quality and diversity. Subsequently, a local search strategy is presented to improve the exploitation ability. Additionally, a global search strategy is embedded to enhance the global search performance. Finally, 56 instances extended from Solomon instances are utilized for conducting simulation tests. The simulation results indicate that the average relative percentage increase (RPI) of the distance travelled by helicopters as obtained by the proposed algorithm is 0.178, 0.027, 0.075 and 0.041 times smaller than the average RPIs obtained by the tabu search algorithm, ant colony optimization algorithm, hybrid GA and simulated annealing algorithm, respectively. Simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm is more efficient and effective for solving the VRPTW to reduce the driving distance of the helicopters in post-disaster rescue.

New insights into the production of sustainable synthetic aggregates and their microstructural evaluation
Authors: Vignesh R. , Abdul-Rahim A.
Published: July 2023

In this study, a novel technique for producing synthetic aggregates using industrial by-products was experimentally investigated. Taguchi method is used to identify the optimum mix design proportion to develop durable synthetic aggregates. For this, different combinations of quaternary binders including ordinary Portland cement, ground granulated blast furnace slag, metakaolin, and lime powder was used. The obtained results revealed that the synthetic aggregates prepared with optimized mortar mix enhanced the compressive strength by 5.9%. Then the performance of synthetic aggregates was evaluated based on their mechanical and durability properties. Microstructural properties of the produced aggregates were examined. The results showed that optimum mix is highly effective than control mix. The manufactured synthetic aggregates are in accordance with the ASTM C 330 standard requirements. Therefore, our study contributes to the advancement in the sustainability by developing a method for producing synthetic aggregates from industrial byproducts.
Encuentro en Rapa Nui. Posiciones de Alfred Métraux y José Imbelloni respecto a los vínculos entre Oceanía y América
Authors: Silla Rolando
Published: July 2023

En este artículo se analizan las posiciones de José Imbelloni y Alfred Métraux respecto a la cultura de la Isla de Pascua. Abordar esta cuestión los llevaba a discutir sobre las relaciones que habían existido, o no, entre Oceanía y América. El debate que aquí desarrollamos se centra en dos elementos de la cultura material de la isla: los moais y las tabletas parlantes. El punto central, y en el que oscilarán ambos antropólogos, es entre la cuestión de la originalidad, y autonomía, de los rasgos culturales de los pascuenses, o el préstamo, y origen foráneo, de esos rasgos. Se discute así cuánto hay de creativo y cuánto de copia en una cultura.
Otros en la escuela: campaña de Buenos Aires, 1860 – 1880
Authors: Vismara José Bustamante
Published: July 2023

Este artículo caracteriza procesos identitarios sucedidos en escuelas públicas. ¿Hubo oportunidades para referencias que no fueran las moldeadas por la lógica nacional de fines del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX? ¿Es posible trazar una periodización que señale cambios en torno al tema? El análisis se centra en las décadas que van de 1860 a 1880, pero ofrece una perspectiva de más largo plazo integrando lo sucedido desde el período postindependiente. En ese contexto se reconstruyen experiencias ligadas al vínculo entre escolarización, indígenas e inmigrantes transoceánicos. Al hacerlo se recuperan aspectos ligados a lo étnico, a la religión, a la presencia de banderas y símbolos patrios en las aulas. Un heterogéneo grupo de rasgos que, en conjunto, fundamentan la crítica que se hace al lugar común que asocia escuelas elementales y construcción de la nacionalidad. El texto se organiza en seis partes: una introducción, un recorrido por bibliografía que se ha abocado a estos asuntos, un apartado trazando rasgos sobre el tema reconocibles desde el temprano siglo XIX, un fragmento abocado al vínculo entre indígenas y escuelas, otro atiende a asuntos algo heterogéneos ligados a temáticas identitarias para, finalmente, concluir. Estos temas son tratados, fundamentalmente, a partir de fuentes generadas en escuelas públicas, mayormente para varones, de la campaña de Buenos Aires y conservadas en el fondo de la Dirección General de Escuelas del Archivo Histórico de la Provincia de Buenos Aires.

Artificial Neural Networks and Discrete Choice Models
Authors: Pires Paulo Botelho , Santos José Duarte
Published: July 2023

The performance of artificial neural networks was compared with the performance of discrete choice models in predicting the purchase of products with weak involvement. A comprehensive literature review on the main paradigms of artificial neural networks was carried out, namely variants of the back-propagation algorithm, radial basis function, and genetic computing. Within the class of discrete choice models, the authors restricted the comparison to the multinomial logit model and the mixed logit. The performance of the models was measured in a database of grocery purchases in supermarkets. Artificial neural networks outperformed discrete choice models in predicting sales in supermarkets, and both types of models demonstrated strong predictive power. As a result, both can be reliably used in marketing to estimate individual or collective probabilities of supermarket product purchases.
Gender Differences in Factors Affecting Impulsive Buying Behavior
Authors: Lopes António , Amaro Suzanne , Henriques Carla
Published: July 2023

Studies focusing on the factors affecting impulsive buying behavior considering gender are scarce. To fill this gap, this study examines whether impulsive purchases are influenced by age, education level, income, and being accompanied by friends and whether these effects differ according to gender. Data were obtained from an online questionnaire. Findings reveal that women are more impulsive when shopping alone than accompanied by a friend. For men, no effect of the presence of friends on impulsivity was found. No significant differences were found between the impulsiveness of men and women. However, while for males there is no evidence that age, education, or income are determinants of impulsivity, for females, a higher impulsivity was associated with younger ages, lower education levels, and higher salaries. With these results, marketers can design more effective marketing strategies to encourage impulsive purchases.
Turkish Consumers' National Identification and Willingness to Buy From Syrian-Owned Supermarkets
Authors: Balikcioglu Betul , Kanlitepe Melek Aydin
Published: July 2023

Focusing on the current ‘Syrian Wave' phenomenon in Turkey in line with consumer behavior through social identity theory, this study examines the serial mediator role of consumer ethnocentrism and consumer racism in the relationship between national identity and the willingness to buy from supermarkets owned by Syrians. Also, this study evaluates the effect of education on these variables. Finally, the robustness of the predicted model is checked on the basis of control variables such as age, income, and gender. Data was collected from 322 Turkish consumers through an online survey. The bootstrapping method was used to estimate the indirect effects. The results show that consumer ethnocentrism and consumer racism completely mediate the relationship between national identity and the willingness to buy from Syrian-owned supermarkets. In addition, the results supported that education level reduces national identity, consumer ethnocentrism, and consumer racism.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the theoretical-conceptual relations between the frameworks of the organizational institutionalism and institutional logics, institutional economics and institutional distance, and the comparative institutionalism perspectives. The departing assumption is that economic, organizational, and comparative perspectives of the institutional theory have more similarities than differences in conceptual and theoretical assumptions. The method employed is meta-analytic cognition based on the analysis of a theoretical and conceptual literature review. The analysis concludes that the economic, organizational, and comparative institutional perspectives have theoretical differences anchored in economics, sociology, and political science leading to associated to distinct analysis levels, theoretical assumptions and explanations, boundary conditions, etc.
Smart Housing Developments to Reduce the Environmental Impact Derived From Urban Growth in Mexico City
Authors: Guerrero Miguel Angel Del Angel , Flores María del Rocío Soto , Cuevas Zuñiga Ingrid Yadibel
Published: July 2023

Currently, the complex intelligent housing developments in the world combine architecture, engineering, and urban planning strategies, as well as bioclimatic strategies that integrate thermal, light and acoustic aspects.

To help enterprises quickly adapt to the environment of green finance, a technology innovation performance prediction method based on machine learning is proposed to improve digital convenience. Firstly, by analyzing scientific and technological innovation, the authors design four characteristics: the number of theses, the quantity and quality of projects, the level of technology transformation, and the value of commercialization. Then, according to the above features, a feature processing method based on improved attention mechanism is proposed to deeply explore the internal relationship between the four features. Finally, a performance evaluation method is used based on the temporal convolution network (TCN) that can predict the performance of scientific and technological innovation by inputting enhanced features. The experiment demonstrates that the proposed method can reach 0.846, 0.869, and 0.851 in terms of the precision, recall, and H value, respectively, which can help enterprises predict the performance and improve the electronic convenience of enterprises.

Published: July 2023

ZnO films were deposited by magnetron sputtering using RF power supply, in order to study the effect of substrates on quality of the prepared films. Then, growth of the ZnO films on thin AlN buffer layer and Si(100) substrates were characterized using different techniques. The surface morphology was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The structural properties were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, Rocking Curve as well as Pole figures. The ZnO films were textured and they had preferred orientation (002) and the crystallinity was better for ZnO/Si in the used growth conditions. The XRD results were confirmed by HRTEM. Optical properties were analyzed by photoluminescence (PL), as well as electrical characteristics were performed by C-V and I-V measurements. The dispersion orientation of these films, as indicated via the FWHM (rocking curves), is small for thin ZnO/Si. These results are considered as hopeful for piezoelectric applications.

This paper reports the synthesis and its application to the adsorption of methylene blue dye using graphene-oxide (GO) and reduced graphene-oxide (RGO). Among carbon-based nanomaterials, graphene and its derivatives have received remarkable attention due to their unique thermal, mechanical, and electronic properties and two-dimensional structure. The GO was synthesized by the modified Hummers method (chemical exfoliation) of graphite flake. This reaction produced graphite oxide (GrO) as an intermediate material. The synthesized materials, namely graphite, graphene oxide, and reduced graphene oxide, were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. These materials were tested to evaluate their adsorption capacity, concentration, contact time, and adsorbent weight on methylene blue, which was analyzed using a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The XRD pattern showed the formation of 2θ peaks at 24° to 26o for graphite, graphene oxide, and reduced graphene oxide, respectively. Furthermore, characterization by FTIR showed the appearance of O-H groups with peaks of 3358 cm-1 and 3342 cm-1 for graphene and reduced graphene oxides. Raman characterization indicated that reduced graphene oxide has a wavelength at the D-band peak of about 1375 cm-1 and the G-band peak reaching 1597 cm-1 with an ID/IG intensity ratio of 0.8. The adsorption test of methylene blue showed that reduced graphene oxide had the best adsorption capacity with an adsorbent, concentration, optimum time, and highest adsorption capacity value of 25 mg, 30 ppm, 45 minutes, and 15.642 mg/g. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir isotherm rule, as evidenced by the R2 value of 0.9881.

Published: July 2023

The study of formation energy and the vibrational effect on the vacancy concentration in the gray tin (α-Sn) using density functional theory has been successfully carried out. The vacancy is modeled by using a supercell consisting of 64 atoms. The vibrational effect is obtained by calculating the phonon density of states (P-DOS) of perfect and vacancy gray tin through the Gaussian-function approach. It is found that the formation energy of Sn-vacancy is 1.89 eV, and the vacancy concentration at the melting point is 3.68 × 103 cm-3. However, the vacancy concentration increases significantly to 6.48 × 109 cm-3 when the vibrational effect is considered. It is expected due to the softening of P-DOS on the vacancy case.

Published: July 2023

Laser powder bed fusion manufactured (PBF-LB) austenitic stainless steel 316L offers higher strength than traditionally manufactured counterparts. Further improvement can be obtained with suitable surface modification. This work focuses on improving the material qualities with the aid of severe shot peening (SSP), which can increase the surface hardness, reduce roughness and produce grain refinement and compressive residual stresses on the surface. These qualities are all beneficial for the fatigue life of the material. Material was studied in two conditions: as built and heat treated (HT) at 1100 °C and the effect of SSP on both. The results showed clear microstructural changes on both structures leading to increased strength. The fatigue strength of as built material benefits greatly from the SSP treatment, but when performed on a high temperature HT material the benefits are negligible. However, in applications where the parts are subjected to bending forces the surface modification plays a role also with the HT material.

The Role of Echocardiography in Evaluating Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Lee Sun Hwa , Park Jae-Hyeong
Published: July 2023

Patients with diabetes mellitus are highly susceptible to cardiovascular complications, which are directly correlated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In addition to coronary artery disease, there is growing awareness of the risk and prevalence of heart failure (HF) in patients with diabetes. Echocardiography is an essential diagnostic modality commonly performed in patients with symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as dyspnea or chest pain, to establish or rule out the cause of symptoms. Conventional echocardiographic parameters, such as left ventricular ejection fraction, are helpful not only for diagnosing CVD but also for determining severity, treatment strategy, prognosis, and response to treatment. Echocardiographic myocardial strain, a novel echocardiographic technique, enables the detection of early changes in ventricular dysfunction before HF symptoms develop. This article aims to review the role of echocardiography in evaluating CVD in patients with diabetes mellitus and how to use it in patients with suspected cardiac diseases.

Background:

There are several options for removing extrinsic tooth stains, bleaching is the most popular one. The present study aims to provide knowledge about the perception of dentists and patients on the various aspects of the bleaching procedure which include different bleaching methods, their side effects, and financial characteristics. In addition, the study addressed the self-perception of patients’ dental esthetic, factors responsible for the recommendation, and usage of different bleaching methods and materials as well as postprocedure satisfaction.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to December 2022 in different dental institutes and private clinics in Pakistan. Two different, validated questionnaires were used for dentists and patients, respectively, one having 16 questions and the second one with 20 questions. The quantitative and qualitative variables were presented with frequency and percentages.

Results:

A total of 267 dentists and 250 patients participated in the study. The majority of dentists (74.2%) perceived that the presence of dental fillings influenced their decision in recommending a whitening treatment. Almost half (54%) of patients were satisfied after the whitening treatment at home but reported high teeth and gum sensitivity (67%).

Conclusion:

Our study suggested that bleaching is a sensitive treatment and most of the patients are unaware of its cautions and correct use; therefore, it should be done in dental clinics only to decrease the side effects of sensitivity.
