Authors:   National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, Subach I. , Vlasenko O. ,   Kruty Heroes Military Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology, Kyiv, Глкфшту
Published: October 2024

With the integration of information and communication systems into military operations, the issue of their cyber defense is becoming increasingly important. The main target for cyberattacks are databases that mostly contain confidential information. One of the most effective approaches to ensuring cybersecurity of databases of military information and communication systems is to use the intelligent capabilities of a SIEM system. SIEM allows real-time monitoring, analysis and response to potential cyber incidents. The article proposes a methodology for detecting cyber incidents by a SIEM system in databases of military information and communication systems. The main emphasis is placed on the multi-level protection of databases, which includes protection at the operating system level, the database level and the database management system, as well as the network level of protection. In order to improve the efficiency of cyber incident detection at the level of SIEM data analysis, an improved methodology based on fuzzy logic is used. Improvement of the methodology is achieved by introducing weights of antecedents in fuzzy rules, which allows, in some cases, to identify cyber incidents more accurately compared to existing models and methods. The weights of the antecedents of fuzzy rules are determined using the method of pairwise comparisons based on the rankings made on the 9-point Saaty scale. A decision-making algorithm for identifying cyber incidents based on the analysis of fuzzy rules and the weights of their antecedents is presented. An example of calculating the weights of antecedents of fuzzy rules using the method of pairwise comparisons based on rank estimates is given.
Navigating Cultural Crossroads: Supporting International Students’ Mental Health Through the Lens of Transnational Identity Development
Authors: Calder Claudia , Ho Chia-Min
Published: October 2024

This article explores the unique mental health needs and help-seeking behaviors of international students studying in the United States, emphasizing the importance of culturally sensitive interventions. Key topics discussed include the role of acculturation in mental health, the impact of social support and perceived discrimination, and cultural influences on service utilization. The article highlights the need for comprehensive support systems that foster inclusion, address discrimination, and enhance well-being. Additionally, it introduces the concept of transnational identity development, examining how international students navigate their identities across cultural boundaries and the implications for mental health. Recommendations for counselors include culturally sensitive assessment, targeted acculturation support, collaboration with community services, and the use of narrative therapy to explore transnational experiences and redefine identity. We also provide a case study illustrating the application of these strategies in supporting an international student’s mental health through the lens of transnational identity development.
Counseling Services in International Schools: Opportunities for Counselors
Authors: Limberg Dodie , Gonzales Shelby K. , Hitchcock Daryl , Fields Alexander M.
Published: October 2024

Due to the increased globalization of business, government, technology, and education, individuals and families are choosing or are required to live in places other than their home country. Therefore, international schools are a necessity to meet the educational and developmental needs of students. Opportunities for counselors to work in international schools are increasing; however, there is limited information about the needs within these settings and the process of pursuing a position at an international school. Thus, the purpose of this article is to (a) review counseling services in international schools; (b) address the unique developmental and mental health needs of students, specifically third culture kids, in international schools and how counselors can address them; and (c) discuss logistical considerations for counselors who are interested in working at an international school.
Articular cartilage tissue engineering using genetically modified induced pluripotent stem cell lines
Authors: Gavrilov Nikita S. , Ignatyeva Nadezda V. , Medvedeva Ekaterina V. , Timashev Peter S.
Published: October 2024

Mature hyaline cartilage has a low regenerative potential and its repair remains a complex clinical and research issue. Articular cartilage injuries often contribute to the development of osteoarthritis, resulting in loss of joint function and patient disability. Surgical techniques for repairing articular surfaces, such as mosaic chondroplasty and microfracture, which are designed for small defects, cannot be used for degenerative and dystrophic cartilage lesions. Cell therapy using chondrocytes differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a promising approach to reconstruct articular cartilage tissue. iPSCs have high proliferative activity, which allows the harvesting of autologous cells in quantities necessary to repair a joint defect. CRISPR-Cas genome editing technology, based on the bacterial adaptive immune system, enables the genetic modification of iPSCs to obtain progenitor cells with specific characteristics and properties.
This review describes specific research papers on the combined use of iPSC and CRISPR-Cas technologies for the evaluation of cartilage regenerative medicine. Papers were evaluated for the last twelve years since CRISPR-Cas technology was introduced to the global community. CRISPR-Cas is currently being used to address therapeutic issues in articular cartilage regeneration by increasing the efficiency of chondrogenic differentiation of iPSC lines and harvesting a more homogeneous population of chondroprogenitor cells. Another approach is to remove the pro-inflammatory cytokine receptor sequence to produce inflammation-resistant cartilage. Finally, knocking out genes for components of the major histocompatibility complex allows harvesting chondrocytes that are invisible to the recipient's immune system. This kind of research contributes to personalized healthcare and can improve the quality of life of the world's population in the long term.
Effects of the 2022 Mw 7.0 Chihshang Earthquake on the Shallow Creeping of the Central Longitudinal Valley Fault in Eastern Taiwan: Insights from Precise Leveling Measurements

Published: October 2024

This study investigated the effects of the 2022 Mw 7.0 Chihshang earthquake in eastern Taiwan on the shallow creeping of the central Longitudinal Valley fault (LVF). Precise leveling surveys were conducted along the Ruisui-Dewu, Yuli, and Dongzhu routes over the LVF. Before the earthquake, previous leveling surveys had detected deformations caused by stable fault creeping of the LVF. Interseismic linear trends and coseismic deformations were removed from the leveling data. Two shallow faults at 1 km were estimated from the corrected-coseismic deformation for the Yuli route. A shallow fault at 1 km and a deep fault at 5 km were estimated from the interseismic deformation. A positive delta Coulomb failure function change was calculated for shallow faults due to the creeping movement on the deep fault before the earthquake, and the creeping movement on the deep fault before the earthquake may have promoted the rupture of the shallow fault. The strong Chihshang earthquake most likely triggered the rupture of the shallow fault, on which strain had been concentrated by the interseismic creeping of the deeper fault. In contrast, the accumulated total strain at the deeper part might be quite low due to a strain release process for a steady creeping movement on deep fault in the interseismic period. The significant slip was not induced in the coseismic period. Although significant slip occurred in the shallower part, the slip might not be induced in the deeper part adjacent to the asperity of the LVF. In the Dewu route, the observed large west-side-uplift is attributed to the coseismic rupture of the Chihshang earthquake. In the Dongzhu route, an interseismic east-side-uplift by a creeping fault and a coseismic west-side-uplift were observed at the same location, indicating a local tensile stress field by the Chihshang earthquake.
Language Ideologies in the Political Party Programs of the New Progressive Party in Puerto Rico
Authors: Kaganiec-Kamieńska Anna
Published: October 2024

The aim of this article is to analyze language ideologies towards Spanish, English and bilingualism articulated in selected political party programs (or party platforms, programa de gobierno) of the New Progressive Party (NPP) in Puerto Rico after 2000. The study examines the beliefs, declarations, and objectives related to the main language ideologies on the island, regarding: (1) Spanish as the national language of Puerto Ricans (monolingualism); (2) English as the language of American citizens and the U.S. federal government (monolingualism); (3) English as a resource for social and economic advancement (linguistic instrumentalism and/or linguistic entrepreneurship); (4) bilingualism as a resource for social and economic advancement (linguistic instrumentalism and/or linguistic entrepreneurship); (5) English as a global language (perceived as a universal means of communication). The article examines the programs presented during the general elections that led to the NPP candidates assuming the positions of governors: Luis Fortuño (2009-2013), Ricardo Rosselló (2017-2019), and Pedro Pierluisi (2021-2024). This analysis is contextualized within the language debates that form part of the island’s long history of the coexistence of Spanish and English since 1898.
Hate in Polish in the Light of Lexicographic Data
Authors: Nowosad-Bakalarczyk Marta
Published: October 2024

The article is an attempt to construct a partial image of hate in Polish, following the principles of Lublin cognitive ethnolinguistics. The data come from general and specialized dictionaries of Polish, specifically concerning the words nienawidzić ‘to hate’ and nienawiść ‘hatred, hate’: their contemporary and earlier forms and meanings, typical uses, relationships to other lexemes (synonyms, antonyms), collocations and other multi-word units. The analysis has revealed the most entrenched (in Polish and the minds of its speakers) descriptive and evaluative aspects of the concept of hate. It has been found that hate is a feeling that arises primarily in relation to other people, and secondarily to reality at large. It is caused by a negative attitude to and evaluation of the object(s) of hate, triggering unpleasent experiences in the person who feels it. This, in turn, leads to an emotional, intellectual, and volitional stance, characterized by a profound dislike towards the object of hate, and even a will to cause harm. Hate is a strong and violent feeling (similar to fire), uncontrollable and depriving people who feel it of a rational assessment of the situation. It is long-lasting but also internally dynamic: its intensity may rise or fall, subject to change depending on the action taken.

When Does Homeland Begin? On the East Slavic Concept of homeland in the Historical Context
Authors: Kretschmer Anna
Published: October 2024

The central topic of this paper is the Slavic concept of homeland in its historical aspect. It will be discussed here with the example of two East Slavic areas: the Moscow Russia and the Belarusian residents of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The time span covered is the later pre-national period, i.e. the 17th-18th c. In this context, more global questions are also addressed, concerning the differences between these two areas, as well the main characteristics of the Moscow culture that makes it substantially different from the European culture and worldview.
The Concept of Homeland in the Works of Belarusian Emigrants and Repressed Citizens
Authors: Rudenka Alena
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes contexts with nouns that express the concept of homeland in Belarusian: radzìma, ajčyna, bac'kaǔščyna. The main meanings of these words are 'place of birth, small homeland’ and 'native/home country’. The works of emigrants and repressed citizens in different periods of the 20th and 21st centuries are considered, including the changes that the concept of homeland in these works has undergone over the past hundred years. In the first half of the 20th century, bac'kaǔščyna 'fatherland’ predominated, at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries, the word radzìma and especially the proper name Belarus prevailed. The noun ajčyna, which belongs to the highest style, was and is used most rarely. In emigration literature, ajčyna and bac'kaǔščyna meant 'homeland’, only the lexeme radzìma sometimes meant 'small homeland, place of birth’. The importance of the country’s history and historical studies for the formation of the concept of homeland is noted.
Homeland in Post-WWII Correspondence of Belarusian War Emigrants
Authors: Waszczyńska Katarzyna
Published: October 2024

This article deals with the motif of homeland in the correspondence of post-WWII Belarusian emigrants to France. The correspondence was addressed to Liavon Rydleuski, a Belarusian emigrant activist. The letters in question are located in the archives of the Francis Skaryna Library and Museum in London. The research method used is qualitative content analysis. It can be concluded that the theme of homeland as it appears in the letters is used in a non-obvious way.
The “Second Homeland” in Serbian and Croatian
Authors: Ajdacic Dejan
Published: October 2024

In the wake of increasingly more frequent (forced or voluntary) migration, various names for the country chosen by the migrant as the place of work and residence also appear in Slavic languages. Compared to the lexically very numerous and richly motivated names for migrating people, the number of lexemes denoting the new homeland is smaller. Nevertheless, it deserves the attention of linguists and sociologists dealing with migration. This article analyzes the names for the “second homeland” in Serbian and Croatian. Examples of the use of these names are subjected to ethnolinguistic profiling, as stipulated in the ethnolinguistic method developed in Jerzy Bartmiński’s Lublin school. An important role in the profiles of these names is played by evaluation.
Types of Data and Semantic Coherence of the Cognitive Definition. The Case of the Polish homeland
Authors: Niebrzegowska-Bartmińska Stanisława
Published: October 2024

The central concept of cultural linguistics (ethnolinguistics) – regardless of its dialectological, etymological, onomastic or cognitive orientation – is the linguistic worldview (LWV). In synthesizing ethnolinguistic publications (dictionaries or lexicons), while reconstructing “portions” of LWV (stereotypes, terms, concepts, culturemes, keywords), linguistic data (systemic, text-based, surveys) and co-linguistic data are taken into account. The former are especially used in analyses based on “national” and “comparative” ethnolinguistics (cf. e.g. Axiological Lexicon of Slavs and their Neighbors, LASiS 2015–2019); both the former and the latter are used within the framework of “folk” ethnolinguistics (cf. Dictionary of Folk Stereotypes and Symbols, SSiSL 1996–2022). The type of ethnolinguistically relevant data usually goes hand in hand with the types of descriptions: separative (LASiS) or holistic (SSiSL). This article presents the concept of the Polish homeland, reconstructed on the basis of both linguistic and co-linguistic data (as in SSiSL). Questions are asked concerning the semantic coherence of the cognitive definition of homeland, i.e., which characteristics of homeland are present in which types of data and how coherent are the judgments about homeland contained in those different types.
Historical Ethnolinguistics: Jan Karłowicz’s Dictionary of Polish Mythology
Authors: Rak Maciej
Published: October 2024

The article discusses the ethnolinguistic aspect of the work of Jan Karłowicz. Karłowicz is known primarily as an editor and author of three dictionaries and editor of the monthly Wisła. Karłowicz’s strictly ethnolinguistic work is Słownik mitologii polskiej [Dictionary of Polish Mythology], discovered in 2017, which belongs to historical ethnolinguistics. The author relies largely on: 1) cultural relics; 2) the belief that rural communities are a more primitive evolutionary stage in the development of a nation than the nobility and bourgeoisie; 3) comparative research aimed at identifying what is ancient in Polish mythology; 4) an understanding of the term mythology that is different from its contemporary meaning. The aim of such research is to show the complexity of the Polish view of the world and of humans against the general Slavic and even much broader background.
Translations of Polish Poetry and Translational Action: Anthology, Tandem, Interlinear Version
Authors: Krehl Birgit
Published: October 2024

This article looks at tandem translation and interlinear translation as methods of translating that have become established in poetry translation in the 21st century, at least in the translation of Polish poetry into German. In any case, anthologies remain an important form of publication of Polish poetry in Germany. However, while translation anthologies were mainly published in the 20th century, the bilingual anthology now dominates and emphasises the equivalence of original and translation as well as that of author and translator.
The Future of the Translation Profession in the Era of Artificial Intelligence. Survey Results from Polish Translators, Translation Trainers, and Students of Translation
Authors: Łukasik Marek
Published: October 2024

Technological advancements in computer science have led to the progressive change of the translation profession. In particular, this concerns machine translation, which has fundamentally changed the role of the translator. AI-driven tools, such as neural machine translation systems, have significantly improved translation speed and accuracy, with the translator role resembling that of an editor or proofreader. While translators have viewed the technological progress as a threat to their jobs, machine translation comes with some persistent issues, such as bias or inaccuracies stemming from insufficient context understanding and cultural nuances. Accordingly, the question of the future of human translation is more complex than it may initially appear. This paper presents the results of a pilot study on the perception of the future of the translation profession in the era of artificial intelligence.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: Atribución de diferentes síntomas en el espectro esquizofrénico de acuerdo con patentes distintivas de disfunción cerebral. Métodos: Una revisión narrativa de trabajos de investigación en tres áreas de integración cortico-subcorticales importantes para entender los síntomas esquizofrénicos: 1) Conexiones talamo-corticales y tálamo-subcorticales, 2) Déficit glutamatérgico en las células granulosas del giro dentado asociado a incremento de la actividad de las neuronas piramidales del hipocampo, y 3) Desconexiones en la Red de Relevancia (SN) entre la ínsula Anterior (IA), asociada con la Red en Default (DMN) y el gyrus cinguli anterior dorsal, (dACC), asociada con la Red Cognitiva (CEN). Resultados: Disbalance en las proyecciones talamocorticales: hipoconectividad entre el núcleo dorsomediano y las cortezas prefrontales dorsomediana y dorsolateral, y entre el núcleo talámico anterior y la corteza cingular anterior, asociada a déficits cognitivos; junto a hiperconectividad entre el núcleo ventrolateral talámico y las cortezas sensoriomotora, auditiva y visual y extensiones subcorticales, asociada a síntomas psicóticos. Contenidos psicóticos emergen desde el complejo dentato-hipocámpico a través de la desinhibición de las neuronas piramidales del hipocampo secundaria a déficit de receptores glutamatérgicos en las células granulares del giro dentado. La desconexión entre la ínsula anterior y la corteza cingular anterior dorsal (red de saliencia o relevancia) afectando el funcionamiento de las otras redes (DMN, CEN) puede provocar aberraciones o coactivaciones que provocan dificultades para distinguir el mundo exterior de uno mismo. Conclusión: Hay tres áreas nodales importantes para dilucidar la fisiopatología de las esquizofrenias: un disbalance en las conexiones talamocorticales asociado a disturbios cognitivos, aumento de descargas piramidales en el hipocampo ligada a la generación de contenidos psicóticos y desconexiones a nivel de la ínsula anterior que pueden conducir a confusión entre las percepciones del mundo exterior y los propios pensamientos y/o a trastornos del reconocimiento de la propia identidad.

Authors: Tabernero María-Eugenia , Morello García Florentina
Published: October 2024

The improvement in the evocation of stimuli that have emotional content compared to neutral ones is known as the emotional memory enhancement (EME). There is controversy regarding the presence of EME in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Objective: The objective is to critically review the studies published on EME in MCI in order to analyze whether this effect is preserved in this population. A bibliographic search was carried out through the PubMed database where original articles on EMEin MCI were examined. The following terms were used and cross-referenced for the search: “emotional”, “memory”, “enhancement”, “MCI” and “mild cognitive impairment”. Results: 2718 articles were obtained. Using the inclusion criteria, 16 were selected. Conclusion: After reviewing the selected articles, it could be stated that the effect of improving emotions on memory seems to be present in MCI for stimuli with emotional content of positive and negative valence compared to neutral ones, whether they are words or pictures.

Published: October 2024

Cough is a serious problem of practical pulmonology. The mechanisms of cough occurrence are diverse and numerous diseases are associated with chronic cough syndrome. The diagnosis can be challenging because of a “perplexing”, “unexplained”, or “idiopathic” cough.

The aim of the review was to consider the main underlying mechanisms of the “perplexing” cough, its potential course, an algorithm for managing patients with the persistent cough, and new treatment methods.

Conclusion. Chronic “perplexing” cough disrupts the patient’s quality of life and reduces their performance. Unveiling the mechanisms of its development may increase the treatment efficacy.

Authors: Da Silva Borges Frederico , Rodrigues Martins dos Reis Fernando
Published: October 2024

A educação tem um papel social a cumprir. A legislação em vigor afirma que ela deve ser responsável por formar pessoas aptas para exercer sua cidadania de maneira plena. O ensino exclusivamente transmissivo tem sido alvo de críticas pelo seu pequeno poder de relacionar os objetos de conhecimento com as habilidades necessárias para a vida e apontado como um dos responsáveis pelo baixo interesse pela educação. A Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos é uma metodologia capaz de fortalecer habilidades que são necessárias para que os estudantes possam atuar no mundo de maneira eficaz, contribuindo para objetivos locais e globais. Este trabalho propõe apresentar um relato de experiência sobre a realização de uma feira de ciências, como evento para culminância de trabalhos escolares  usando a Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos. Essa feira foi realizada em uma cidade do interior do estado do Espírito Santo, e envolveu alunos que cursam os anos finais do ensino fundamental e alunos do ensino médio do município de realização, bem como de cidades próximas.

ДО ПИТАННЯ ВИЗНАЧЕНОСТІ ПОНЯТТЯ «ЛЮДИНА»: ФІЛОСОФСЬКО-ПРАВОВИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Череватюк Вікторія
Published: October 2024

Метою наукової статті є філософсько-правове осмислення поняття «людина». Методи дослідження: для досягнення визначеної мети були використані філософські, загальнонаукові та спеціально-юридичні методи, зокрема діалектичний, історичний, структурно-функціональний, порівняльний, логіко-юридичний метод та ін. Результати: проблема невизначеності поняття «людина» вирішується на міждисциплінарному рівні, зокрема і в межах філософської та юридичної науки. Філософсько-правове дослідження дефініції поняття «людина» сприятиме досягненню теоретико-наукових та суспільно-практичних цілей, зокрема допоможе уникнути наявних розбіжностей, розв’язати численні проблемні питання, що є пріоритетними на сучасному етапі розвитку юриспруденції і стосуються прав людини. Обговорення: філософсько-правовий аналіз поняття «людина» спрямований на розгляд його в гармонії між біологічною, соціальною та духовною сутністю людини. Дискусійними в цьому контексті залишаються питання уніфікації цього поняття у різних правових системах через різноманітність культурних та релігійних переконань, відсутністю врегулювання питання щодо біотехнологій, штучного інтелекту, прав плоду та рішення про кінець життя. Важливо, що зі зміною суспільства та появою нових технологій змінюється також і юридичне визначення того, що означає бути людиною. Це вимагає постійних юридичних, етичних і філософських дискусій, щоб адаптувати закони до нових викликів, забезпечуючи при цьому дотримання основних прав людини.

Метою статті є формування пропозицій для вдосконалення правового регулювання договорів у сфері інвестиційної діяльності та їх змісту. Методи дослідження: використано загальнонаукові та юридичні методи пізнання, а саме: діалектичний, порівняльного аналізу, системно-функціональний, формально-юридичний; логіко-юридичний. Результати: доведено, що низка господарських договорів підпадає під комплексне поняття інвестиційного договору; учасники інвестиційної діяльності укладають також інші похідні договори; окреслено основні види договорів, що застосовуються в інвестиційній діяльності; різні види господарських договорів у сфері інвестування зазнають неоднакового регулятивного впливу на рівні законів; ризики інвестиційних договорів частково усуваються державними гарантіями; правове регулювання договірних відносин в інвестиційній діяльності потребує вдосконалення з метою забезпечення стабільності інвестиційного процесу та надання додаткових гарантій та стимулів інвестору. Запропоновано законодавчо гарантувати стабільність податкових і митних платежів для суб’єктів інвестиційних договірних відносин. Принаймні, можливо це передбачити на законодавчому рівні для пріоритетних напрямків інвестування. Обговорення: доцільність розмежування інвестиційних договорів від інших договорів інвестиційного характеру; законодавче закріплення кваліфікуючих ознак інвестиційних договорів; для обслуговування інвестиційної діяльності можуть застосовуватися договори різних видів і зокрема змішані; правове регулювання договірних інвестиційних відносин на даний час в основному стосується інвестиційних договорів публічного характеру; якщо в таких договорах стороною є держава, то чітко прослідковується її домінуюче становище, що свідчить про відступ від принципу рівності сторін.

Authors: Shokouhinejad Noushin , Hosseini Pourya , Razmi Hasan
Published: October 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effect of human blood and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on the surface microhardness of hydraulic calcium silicate-based cements (OrthoMTA and RetroMTA).
Materials and Methods: Two types of mineral trioxide aggregate, OrthoMTA and RetroMTA, were mixed and placed into cylindrical molds. The lower surfaces of all cements were exposed to saline. The upper surfaces of cements were exposed to human blood, PRF, or phosphate buffer saline (PBS). After storage for 7 days in fully saturated humidity at 37°C, the microhardness of cement surface exposed to blood, PRF, or PBS was measured using the Vickers microhardness test. The data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tamhane’s T2 test. The significance level was set at P<0.05.
Results: Exposure to blood and PRF significantly decreased the surface microhardness of OrthoMTA and RetroMTA. The microhardness of PBS-contacted cements was significantly higher than that of blood or PRF groups (P<0.001). The microhardness values for OrthoMTA exposed to PRF were significantly higher than the blood group (P=0.020). There were no significant differences between RetroMTA contacted with blood or PRF groups (P=0.985). When exposed to blood or PBS, RetroMTA had a significantly higher microhardness than OrthoMTA (P<0.001 for blood, P=0.002 for PBS).
Conclusion: Exposure to blood or PRF decreased the surface microhardness of both cements. Blood-contaminated RetroMTA showed significantly higher surface microhardness than OrthoMTA contacted with blood. No significant difference was found between PRF-contacted OrthoMTA and RetroMTA.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 is a primarily respiratory illness that can cause thrombotic disorders. Elevation of D-dimer is a potential biomarker for poor prognosis in COVID-19, though optimal cutoff value for D-dimer to predict mortality has not yet been established. This study aims to assess the accuracy of admission D-dimer in the prognosis of COVID-19 and to establish the optimal cutoff D-dimer value to predict hospital mortality.
Clinical and laboratory parameters and outcomes of confirmed COVID-19 cases admitted to four hospitals in Kathmandu were retrospectively analyzed. Admitted COVID-19 cases with recorded D-dimer and definitive outcomes were included consecutively. D-dimer was measured using immunofluorescence assay and reported in Fibrinogen Equivalent Unit (μg/ml). The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the accuracy of D-dimer in predicting mortality, and to calculate the optimal cutoff value, based on which patients were divided into two groups and predictive value of D-dimer for mortality was measured.
D-dimer levels were higher in COVID-19 patients and were related with markers of inflammation, and after treatments, D-dimer levels decreased which was synchronous with hsCRP levels in patients with good clinical prognosis. Also, the low correlation between Padua VTE score and D-dimer levels weakened the role of D-dimer in the prediction of thrombosis.The abnormal changes of D-dimer and inflammatory factors suggest that aggressive anticoagulant therapy might be needed.

This study introduces an innovative sol-gel nano-coating designed to address silica scaling and corrosion in hydrothermal and high-stimulation environments. By incorporating CeO₂, Al₂O₃, ZnO, and TiO₂ nanoparticles into a polymer matrix through precise sonication techniques, the coating achieves uniform dispersion and enhanced functional performance.
 
The meticulous characterization of nanoparticle integration optimizes mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Applied via a directional supplying device, the nano-coating is mechanically deposited onto the cemented walls of wells, providing robust protection against scaling and corrosion across diverse conditions, including varying temperatures and pH levels. Laboratory testing demonstrates significant reductions in silica scaling and corrosion rates, confirming the coating's efficacy in maintaining production efficiency in both hydrothermal projects and fracking operations.
 
This paper details the synthesis process and molecular chemistry involved in nanoparticle integration, alongside the resultant structural properties of the coating. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) assesses thermal stability, while kinetic models such as Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) evaluate activation energy without assuming specific reaction models. The findings highlight the potential of this advanced nano-coating as a robust solution for enhancing operational longevity and efficiency in challenging industrial applications.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of utilizing coal bottom ash (CBA) sourced from an inactive power plant on the fresh and hardened properties of lightweight self-compacting concrete (LWSCC). To evaluate the workability of the LWSCC mixtures, slump flow, L-box, and sieve segregation tests were performed. The mechanical and physical properties were assessed through dry density, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) tests. A total of five concrete mixes were developed: a control mix and four additional mixtures in which natural coarse aggregate was fully substituted with coal bottom ash aggregate (CCBA). Additionally, Portland cement was partially replaced with coal bottom ash powder (CBAP) at levels of 15%, 20%, and 25%. The results indicated that the use of CBA as a coarse aggregate enhanced the workability of LWSCC, though workability decreased as the proportion of CBAP increased. Nonetheless, the workability of all mixes remained compliant with the standards specified by the French Association of Civil Engineering (AFGC). Minimal variations in dry density and compressive strength were observed with the incorporation of CBA; however, these values remained within the acceptable limits for structural lightweight concrete. Furthermore, the UPV test demonstrated favorable durability for all LWSCC mixtures. Strong linear correlations were identified among the various measured properties, reinforcing the conclusion that CBA serves as an effective replacement for natural coarse aggregate. Moreover, the use of 15% CBAP as a partial substitute for Portland cement proved to be a feasible option for producing sustainable LWSCC.

The re-emergence of East Asia brought more interactions of Asian capital and peoples with the countries of the Visegrad Group (V4). China, the Republic of Korea, Japan have a history of relations with Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The moderate discovering of Asia by the V4 in the last decade is being substituted by growing Central European governmental initiatives to attract capital, products, tourists, and to cultivate cooperation with East Asia. The paper is devoted to a review of Visegrad–East Asia relations with a focus on trade cooperation. Its goals are to reflect on current trends and to popularize the Visegrad brand of the EU in Asia.
Wdrażanie innowacji społecznych przez wiejskie organizacje pozarządowe i lokalne grupy działania
Authors: Zajda Katarzyna
Published: October 2024

Problematyka wdrażania innowacji społecznych wzbudza zainteresowanie badaczy i praktyków z całego świata. W Polsce jest podejmowana rzadko, zwłaszcza w kontekście specyfiki wsi i podmiotów ważnych dla rozwiązywania problemów społecznych jej mieszkańców, to jest organizacji pozarządowych oraz lokalnych grup działania.
Przedmiotem rozważań w monografii uczyniono ich aktywność na rzecz wdrażania innowacji społecznych definiowanych jako zmiany w obszarze rozwiązywania problemów społecznych polegające na powstawaniu nietypowych praktyk społecznych, alternatywnych w stosunku do dominujących na danym obszarze (tj. na obszarze gminy wiejskiej lub partnerstwa terytorialnego).
Celem analizy było po pierwsze określenie specyfiki innowacji społecznych wdrażanych w gminach wiejskich przez organizacje pozarządowe oraz lokalne grupy działania. Po drugie, zidentyfikowanie stymulatorów ich wdrażania spośród zmiennych takich jak: współpraca z różnymi podmiotami lokalnymi i tymi, które posiadały swoje siedziby poza obszarem danej gminy wiejskiej (lub partnerstwa terytorialnego) oraz włączanie mieszkańców w rozwiązywanie dotykających ich problemów społecznych. W przypadku organizacji pozarządowych do potencjalnych stymulatorów wdrażania innowacji społecznych zaliczono również długość ich działania, poziom społecznej profesjonalizacji i ekonomizacji oraz profil działalności.
W celu uzyskania odpowiedzi na postawione pytania badawcze przeprowadzono badanie jakościowe i ilościowe. Wykorzystano metodę zbiorowego studium przypadku oraz metodę sondażową.
Rezultaty badania stały się podstawą do sformułowania wniosków dotyczących specyfiki wdrażania innowacji społecznych przez wiejskie organizacje pozarządowe oraz lokalne grupy działania, jak również rekomendacji dotyczących stymulowania tego procesu.

Swastika Figürünün Antik Çağ’daki Anlamı ve Kullanımı Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Kızgut Rahim , Keküllüoğlu Sinem
Published: October 2024

Swastika figürü Paleolitik Dönem’den günümüze kadar uzanan süreçte çeşitli toplumlarda ve farklı anlamlarda kullanılan bir sembol olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Kökeni bu denli eskiye uzanan swastikanın Antik Çağ’daki kullanımı, taşıdığı anlamlar ve biçimsel özellikleri dikkat çekicidir. Dünyanın birçok noktasında değişik şekillerde karşımıza çıkan bu figür, Antik Çağ’ın hem Doğu (Mezopotamya, Mısır, Küçük Asya, Kafkasya, Hindistan) hem de Batı (Yunanistan, Kıbrıs, İtalya, İskandinavya) kültürlerinde geniş bir yayılım alanı bulmuştur. Günümüzde çoğunlukla Ηitler’in Nazi Almanyası’nın sembolü olarak bilinen ve bu nedenle olumsuz çağrışımlara sahip olan swastika bu imajının aksine Antik Çağ ve daha önceki dönemlerde çoğunlukla iyi şans, bolluk ve doğurganlık gibi anlamlar taşımıştır. Swastika figürü yaygın olarak Zerdüştlük olarak bilinen Zoroastrianizm inancının temel sembollerinden biri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. İlerleyen süreçte bu figürün tıpkı Zoroastrianizmde olduğu gibi Hinduizm ve Budizm gibi çok geniş kitlelere ulaşan iki inanç sistemi içerisinde de kendisine yer edindiği görülür. Genellikle haç sembolüyle bağdaştırılarak incelenen swastika figürü kendi anlamsal bütünlüğü çerçevesinde ele alınacaktır. Çünkü haç sembolü Antik Çağ boyunca Yunan haçı, Latin haçı, Kelt haçları, Mısır Haçı, Thor’un çekici, Hıristiyan haçı ve Malta haçı gibi farklı inançların sembolü olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmadaki temel motivasyonu, swastika figürünün taşıdığı anlamlar, tarih boyunca uğradığı değişim, gelişim ile Antik Çağ toplumlarındaki önemi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada; arkeolojik ve nümizmatik kanıtlar ile konu ile ilgili yapılmış akademik çalışmalardan faydalanılmıştır.
İlk Hristiyan Kadın Şairi Proba’nın Centosunda Eski Ve Yeni Ahit Anlatısı
Authors: Arslan Ufuk , Öntuğ Murat
Published: October 2024

Bu çalışma, Faltonia Betitia Proba ismini taşıyan Romalı aristokrat bir kadının, İS IV. yüzyılın ortalarında kaleme aldığı Cento Vergilianus de laudibus Christi adlı esere odaklanmaktadır. Proba, eserini IV. yüzyılda son derece popüler bir edebi tür olan cento şeklinde kaleme almıştır. Cento, başka bir yazarın eserindeki dize ve pasajların kopyala-yapıştır yöntemiyle alınarak ve alınan bu dize ve pasajlara yeni anlamlar yükleyerek oluşturulan şiire verilen isimdir. Proba da Latin edebiyatının en önemli isimlerinden olan Vergilius’un; Aeneis, Georgica (Çiftçilik Sanatı) ve Ecloga (Çoban Türküleri) adlı eserlerinde kullandığı dize ve pasajları alarak, Eski ve Yeni Ahit’i yeniden yazmıştır. Proba’nın eserini, bir pagan olan İmparator Iulianus’un (İS 361-363) döneminde veya onun hükümdarlığının hemen sonrasında yazdığı kesin gibidir. Iulianus’un paganlığı canlandırmak adına uyguladığı politikalar ve aristokrat sınıfının üyeleri arasında azımsanmayacak derecede pagan taraftarı olması, onun bu eseri kaleme almasında etkin bir rol oynamıştır. Proba eserinde Hristiyanlığın, Roma’nın geleneksel sosyal ve dinî yaşamına çok da uzak olmadığını gösterme gayreti içerisindedir. Bu bağlamda, Vergilius’un eserleri ile Eski ve Yeni Ahit arasında tipolojik bağlantılar kurmuştur. Üstelik gayretinden sonuç elde edebilmek adına, Eski ve Yeni Ahit’in bazı bölümlerinde değişiklik yapmaktan da çekinmemiştir. Cento Vergilianus de laudibus Christi, Antik Çağda bir kadın tarafından kaleme alınan az sayıdaki eserden birisi olmasının yanı sıra Hristiyanlığın da erken dönem metinlerindendir; ki bu da bu eseri eşsiz kılmaktadır.
