FATİH KERİMÎ’NİN HAYATI VE ESERLERİNİN PSİKOLOJİK İZ DÜŞÜMÜ
Authors: ÇAKMAK Cihan
Published: October 2023

20. yüzyılın en önemli düşünürlerinden ve Modern Tatar Edebiyatının kurucusu Fatih Kerimî, Tatar toplumu arasındaki faaliyetlerinin yanı sıra Osmanlı Devleti ile İdil Ural boyunda yaşayan Türk toplulukları arasında âdeta bir kültür elçisi gibi önemli bir fonksiyonu yerine getirmiştir. İstanbul’da tahsil almış, 1910-1912 yılları arasında Balkan Harbi’ni izlemek üzere Vakit gazetesinin savaş muhabiri olarak İstanbul’da bulunmuştur.
Yazdıklarıyla ağırlıklı olarak toplumun kanayan yaralarına vurgu yapan Kerimî, Müslüman Türk toplumunun geri kalma nedenlerini sürekli sorgulamıştır. Toplumun kanayan yaralarını bir sosyolog gibi tespit eden Kerimî bu sorunları teşhis etmenin yanı sıra, ne yapılması gerektiğini ve çözüm yollarını da yazılarında sıklıkla dile getirmiştir. Asıl amacı eğitim faaliyetleri temelinde okumanın bilhassa kız çocukları arasında yaygınlaşmasını sağlamak olan Kerimî, bu amaçla İsmail Gaspıralı’nın uygulamaya koyduğu modern okullarda görev almıştır.
Düşünceleri dolayısıyla medreseden dışlanışının yanı sıra öğrenimi sırasında İstanbul’da görülen büyük yangın ve deprem felaketleri onun psikolojik yapısında derin izler bırakmıştır. Bu çalışmada zorlu bir hayat yaşayan Kerimî’nin hayatının tamamına hâkim olan melankolik ruh halinin nedenleri sorgulanmaya çalışılacaktır.
“DİVANÜ LUGATİ'T-TÜRK”TE TASAVVUFÎ VE AHLAKÎ UNSURLAR
Authors: SALİEV Meder
Published: October 2023

Divanü Lügati't-Türk’te 11. yüzyılda Türk toplumunun yaygın olarak kullandığı kelimelere yer verilmiştir. Döneminde yazılan diğer Türkçe eserlere göre tamamına yakını Türkçe kökenli kelimelerdir. Bu eserin yazıldığı dönem Türklerin kitleler halinde İslam’a geçtiği de bir dönem olma özelliğine sahiptir. Bu sebeple Divan’da İslami birçok kavrama da yer verilmiştir. Tasavvuf, Türklerin İslam’ı kabul ettiği bu dönemde İran ve Arap ülkelerinde yaygınlık kazanmış ve Türk coğrafyasının İran’la komşu olduğu bölgelerde etkisini göstermeye başlamıştır. 11. yüzyılın başında Farsça ve Arapça olarak ilk tasavvuf eserleri verilmeye başlanmıştır. Divan’da yer alan Türkçe kelime ve metinlerde de tasavvuf düşüncesinin etkisini görülmektedir. Bu da Türklerin tasavvuf öğretisine çok erken dönemlerde ilgi duyduğunu ve ona dâhil olduğunu göstermesi bakımından önemlidir. Divan’da dinî, tasavvufî ve ahlakî birçok konuda örnekler vardır. Bunlar: Tanrı, peygamber, ahret, nefis ve akıl, ibadet, Allah dostları, hayatın faniliği, sabır, dünyanın aldatıcılığı, bilge insanlara yakın olmak, yumuşak huy, iyilik ve cömertlik gibi konulardır. Bu ve benzeri birçok malzemeyi içinde barındıran Divanü Lügati't-Türk o dönemki Türklerin tasavvuf konusunda hiç de azımsanamayacak bir söz varlığına sahip olduklarını göstermektedir.

The objective of this document is to visualize the experience of educational flexibility lived during a period of emergency remote teaching through the graphic representation of the relationships between the actors and the teaching-learning processes, the determination of criteria and academic-administrative categories of the structure in the institution of El Grullo Technological High School that allows the implementation of a procedure of a multimodal system itself which facilitates the adaptation of learning processes mediated by technology with educational quality by identifying the interactions in pedagogical mediations that favor learning and give way to the choice of appropriate technological mediations that develop educational innovation as a significant change in their interaction internally and with the environment, understanding education as a relational process. These relationships are presented as a result of the collection of information and data obtained through interviews, sample survey and analysis of documents of the institution, interaction that is shown in the schematization, and visual representation of the educational processes of the case study in the community education of the El Grullo High School as learned lessons.
Removal of butyl acetate in an industrial ef uent through a physicochemical treatment
Authors: Rodriguez Morales José Alberto , Carrillo Roxana , Ramos Miguel Angel , Campos Juan , Ledesma Janet , Arriaga Gerardo
Published: October 2023

Butyl acetate is an organic compound widely used in industry, focu- sing on industrial paint waste ef uents. Exposure to this pollutant at an average of 925 ppm can cause dizziness, drowsiness, respiratory tract irritation, and central nervous system suppression. That is why it seeks to minimize the risk associated with this contaminant through treatment alternatives. The characterization of the sample yielded the detection of the following contaminants: methyl ester, 1-butanol, 1-4 dioxane, butyl ester, 1-chlorobutane. The objective of this work was the design and development of combined treatments for the removal of butyl acetate in industrial waste ef uents. For this, a physicoche- mical treatment coupled to an advanced oxidation process (PAO) was implemented. The results showed that the coupled treatments are ef - cient for the removal of butyl acetate, methyl ester, 1-chlorobutane and 1-butanol, while for 1-4 dioxane it was reduced by approximate- ly 83%. The study was complemented with the evaluation of the fo- llowing parameters, resulting in a decrease in electrical conductivity of 99.5%, total suspended solids of 74%, color of 93%, turbidity of 55% and COD of 73%.

Do Australian earthquakes matter?
Authors: Yang Haibin
Published: October 2023

A recent comprehensive study on the surface-rupturing earthquakes in Australian stable continental regions by Yang et al. (2021) shows contrasting features between intraplate and interplate earthquakes. Being far from plate boundaries, it generates a relatively low strain rate ( $< 10^{-16} s^{-1}$)  that yields a recurrence time of large intraplate earthquakes >1000s years, which is much longer than the instrument record history.

According to the original plan, ocean-bottom seismometers should be deployed only after swathing and determining the best locations on the ocean floor. Our preference is soft sediments so that the instruments could be firmly coupled to the ocean floor. This is somewhat different from the choices we would make on land. We have to combine the multibeam sonar images with back-scatter images – both acoustic methods for mapping.

Anti-Biofilm Activity of Nigella sativa Extracts against Pathogenic Bacteria
Authors: Chmagh A.A. , Hussein A.F. , Sami M.A. , Dawood N.J. , Khan M.A.
Published: October 2023

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is still a serious problem for global health; however, new antibiotic research is lagging behind AMR. There are dangers associated with bacterial biofilms in hospitals, restaurants, and water treatment plants. Several medicinal herbs are utilized ethnomedically in India to cure infectious diseases. However, apart from the conventional inhibitory effects on cell development, little is known about the possible anti-biofilm action of medicinal herbs, which may help in the prevention of bacterial infection. Here, we investigated the in vitro anti-biofilm activity of plant extracts of Nigella sativa (black cumin) seeds. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test was performed using the two-fold serial dilution technique. The establishment and growth of biofilms were evaluated using crystal violet (CV) tests. Methanol extracts showed antibacterial action against all bacterial strains, with S. aureus showing the most activity. N. sativa seed extract had good activity against bacterial biofilms. Further research into the isolation of antimicrobial compounds and the mechanism of action of N. sativa seed methanol extract may provide promising leads.
Phytopathogenic Fungal Growth Inhibition by Actinomycetes Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Cymbopogon citratus (Lemongrass)
Authors: Akponah E. , Ubogu M.
Published: October 2023

The search for natural antimicrobial substances to mitigate the deleterious effects of pathogens is on the increase due to the spread of resistance. In the agricultural sector, the current focus is on natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable approaches to improve crop yield. In this study, sixty actinomycetes isolates belonging to 3 genera; Streptomyces, Nocardia, and Micromonospora, obtained from 30 lemon grass rhizosphere samples, were screened for antifungal activity using three common fungi phytopathogens; Fusarium solani, Aspergillus flavus and Alternaria alternata. Preliminary screening involving the in vitro dual culture assay and the agar well diffusion techniques were employed to investigate the inhibitory activities of actinomycetes isolates and the ethyl acetate extract of their metabolites against the phytopathogens. Results obtained revealed that mycelial extensions in the fungi were significantly inhibited, though, to varying extents. Among the 60 actinomycetes isolates screened, 19 (31.37%) demonstrated significant inhibitory activity against at least one of the three test fungi. Out of the 19 isolates, 5(26.3%) suppressed mycelial growth in all three test fungi with percent mycelial inhibitions ranging from 51.63 – 69.29 %. Also, the crude extracts of the metabolites of these five actinomycetes isolates produced mycelial inhibitions ranging from 75.45 - 89.31 %. Analysis of the crude extracts using gas chromatography, revealed the production of five antifungal compounds which include: Benzylaldehyde,2-nitro-diaminomethylidene hydrazine, [1,2,4] triazolo [1,5] pyrimidine -6-carboxylic acid, 1,2, - benzenediol,3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl), Benzo[h] quinolone,2,4-dimethyl-, and 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, 3,5, bis-trimethylsilyl-. Therefore, the antifungal capabilities of these actinomycetes isolates make them efficient, natural, and ecologically friendly alternatives in the control of fungal phytopathogens.

Authors: Farooqi N. , Rahman A. , Ullah R. , Ali Y. , Muhammad H.
Published: October 2023

Brucellosis is one of the most widespread and contagious bacterial zoonotic diseases in the world posing a major threat to human health and animal husbandry. Sero-prevalence of brucellosis was investigated in District Malakand, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A total of 886 blood samples were collected from animals (n=484) and humans (n=402). A total of 58 (11.98%) animal samples and human samples 25 (6.21%) were found positive for Brucellosis. The seropositive percentage was higher in buffaloes (12.02%) than in cows 7/60 (11.66%). In buffaloes, more females (12.07%) were found infected with brucellosis as compared to males (11.62%). Similarly, female cows showed higher seropositivity (13.20%) than male cows (0). The highest seroprevalence (19.23%) was observed in the age group 6–8 years. Seropositive animals with a history of previous abortion were (77.77%) while seropositive animals with no abortion history were (6.69%). In humans, prevalence percentage was greater in males (6.94%) than in females (5.81%). The age group 37-48 years showed the highest seroprevalence (9.91%). Aborted females showed higher seropositivity (45%) as compared to non-aborted females (2.52%). Sero-prevalence was recorded in 6.38% of individuals with animal contact and in 3.84% of individuals with no animal contact. Raw milk consumers (6.46%) and non-consumers (3.22%) were also found positive for Brucellosis. Different risk factors that may influence the prevalence of Brucellosis need to be considered for the control of the disease and to minimize its spreading in the population.

Published: October 2023

This study set out to develop an efficient treatment for the quality control of oysters (Crassostrea gasar) using calcium hypochlorite [Ca(OCl) 2 ] and sodium metabisulphite (Na2S2O5) during a challenge test under ambient and refrigerated storage. Artificially inoculated oyster samples were treated in groups consisting of various treatments as follows: 10 ppm Ca(OCl) 2 and 100 ppm Na 2 S 2 O 5 combined treatment; 10 ppm Ca(OCl) 2 sole treatment and sterile deionized water treatment (control). The treated samples were then stored under refrigerated (4°C) and ambient (28±2°C) conditions for 96 h. Samples were subjected to analysis at intervals to determine their microbiological (total heterotrophic bacterial counts, coliform counts, and Salmonella counts), chemical (trimethylamine, pH), and sensorial (visual appearance, odour, and texture) attributes. The Ca(OCl) 2 and Na 2 S 2 O 5 combined treatment significantly inhibited (p<0.05) the increase in the magnitude of the different microbial groups, trimethylamine (TMA) content, and pH when compared with the Ca(OCl) 2 sole treatment and control groups. Heterotrophic bacterial counts in oysters treated with both chemicals were 7.23 log 10 CFU/g and 5.66 log 10 CFU/g at the end of storage for samples kept at ambient and refrigerated conditions respectively. Organoleptic evaluation conducted by a team of panelists showed that oysters subjected to the combined treatment followed by refrigerated storage showed higher quality scores than the control and other treatments during the study and hence, maintained the freshness and overall acceptability of the seafood. Combined treatment using Ca(OCl) 2 and Na 2 S 2 O 5 prevented robust microbial proliferation, sustained the quality of freshly harvested oysters, and extended their shelf life by 4 days during refrigerated storage.
Examining YouTube Videos with Counting and Numbers Content for Preschool Children
Authors: ŞENGİL AKAR Şeyma
Published: October 2023

Children, who are introduced to technology as soon as they are born, have access to internet-based videos as young as one year old. These colourful, animated cartoon/animation content supported by songs have turned into informal learning tools for children. Some of these videos, which families do not hesitate to present as educational content, are math videos. These videos reach millions of views. These videos with mathematical content prepared for children, mostly shared with the label of children's songs, are the subject of this study. In this study, we focused on Turkish number and counting videos from the open access YouTube content provider. Document analysis method was used in this study. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that only a few videos were adequate in terms of mathematical language, content and number teaching, and almost all of the other videos included incorrect or inaccurate mathematical representations. While counting, it was observed that number symbols were used as "ordinal numbers". In addition, it was observed that there were scenes where the amount counted and the number did not match. It was thought that these situations could lead to false learning. Based on all these findings, it can be concluded that the mathematical language used in YouTube video content is weak.
Arnica montana Flower Laboratory Guidance Document
Authors: Shulha Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

Arnica montana flower extract is a popular ingredient for production of ointments, gels, and homeopathic preparations. Due to nomenclatural confusion, particularly the use of the vernacular name ”arnica” for a number of plant species, difficulties in cultivation, and high prices for wild-harvested plant material, adulteration is quite common. Some of the known adulterants and confounding species for A. montana flowers are other Arnica species (A. angustifolia, A. chamissonis, A. chamissonis subsp. foliosa), “Mexican arnica” (Heterotheca spp.), and different species from the Asteraceae family (Gaillardia spp., Grindelia spp., etc). This Laboratory Guidance Document (LGD) presents a review of various analytical methods used to differentiate between A. montana flowers, and products containing plant material from other Arnica species or adulterating materials. This document can be used in conjunction with the “Arnica montana Botanical Adulterants Prevention Bulletin” published by the ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program in 2016.

Bacteriophage Therapy Against Antimicrobial Resistant Crisis
Authors: Ullah Fahim , Ahmad Syed Sohail , Khan Mazhar Ali , Moon Sarwat
Published: October 2023

The most common virus on the earth is bacteriophage (or phages) that are present in all organisms. Their classification is currently being evaluated based on the phage's unique and antibacterial properties. The phage replicates within the host through a lytic or lysogenic process following infection and use of a bacterial cell machine. Phage has become an effective therapeutic drug against pathogens after twort and Filex d'Herelle discovery of bacteriophage in the 1900s, and subsequent research has been conducted. Nevertheless, bacteriophage therapy has become an unavoidable option for research due to the recent occurrence of bacterial antibiotics resistance. Around fifty years after antibiotic were found, antibiotics resistance is key risk for health care. Antimicrobial resistance is a rising big issue in global healthcare. The WHO, 1st report on antimicrobial resistances globally, has emphasized the threat of a forthcoming post antibiotics age, where little infection could be not treatable and once again will be fatal. Considering the present condition, producing therapeutic agent that are complementary to antibiotics play great role to fight against antibiotic resistance. The crisis requires development and implementation of new therapeutic agents against infections and phage therapy is suitable to control infectious diseases because safety of phage therapy. There is a perception with regards to phage therapy that phages are usually safe, on the bases of fact that they are ubiquitous in nature and our continued contact to phages in the environment and furthermore that they are widely used without adverse effects in many of the world. with this positive interpretation, the application of phage therapy must be verified by current research studies. bacteriophage preparations contain detrimental substances, such as toxins of gram-negative bacteria, during the formulation process of bacteriophage and that can be remove by different purification methods. Phages effects normal flora GIT negligibly due to specificity in nature and they infect only a small number of bacterial species.

This paper uses the statistics collected by the authoritative data collection organization, the banks, and the housing agencies in Shanghai and the previous economics theory to briefly analyze China’s housing industry’s current situation and drawbacks and help explain the dilemmas as mentioned earlier. China’s housing market has its particularity, which makes it distinct from the markets in Western countries. This makes it hard to mechanically apply the old crisis theories to China’s market.
Consequently, the actual situation, such as the government’s policy, must be taken into consideration- for example, in big cities, parking space prices rose even faster than housing prices. Different from ordinary economic analysis, the paper was written from the perspective of an ordinary citizen who had witnessed the growth of China’s housing market. For this reason, financial aspects and other aspects, such as the people’s livelihood and other industries, were considered. China’s housing bubble was gradually formed for many historical reasons, and its elimination will also take a long time. However, with our government and our people’s cooperation and coordination, it can be made sure that our market will be on the right track one day.

Antibiotics are chemical substances produced by microorganisms that have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It inhibits or kills infections caused by sensitive bacteria and is mainly used to treat various infectious diseases caused by bacteria. Antibiotics can exert their antimicrobial effects by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, inhibiting protein synthesis, and affecting bacterial DNA synthesis. There are many types of antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines, macrolides, aminoglycosides, and so on. When using antibiotics, sensitive antibiotics should be selected according to the specific infectious agent and used correctly according to the doctor’s advice to avoid the development of drug resistance and reduce the Impact of side effects. With the extensive use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance has become a key concern in the use process, closely related to the genetic mutation of bacteria, antibiotic abuse, and decreased immunity. This paper provides a way to understand more about antibiotics by expressing the classification of antibiotics, the causes of resistance, and the mechanism of resistance.

Authors: Helen Guo
Published: October 2023

The anchoring effect has long been a subject that has attracted researchers from a diverse range of fields, including economics, finance, and psychology. This paper describes the background, definition, motivation, and some applications of the anchoring effect. Simultaneously, we pay more attention to the influence on economic research and consumption decisions. In application 1, we focus on the anchoring effect and marketing strategy by analyzing Evian water in Starbucks, the limited purchase of Campbell soup, and the descending price order on the menu. In application 2, we focus on the measurability of the anchoring by calculating the amount of donation under different situations and assessing the house’s value. In application 3, we focus on the link between the anchoring effect and suggestion by analyzing additional questions in two porridge shops. Our studies showed that anchoring affects all aspects of people’s lives. In addition, all our preliminary results illuminate the nature anchoring effect, which significantly influences the research of heuristics.

Published: October 2023

In the process of fulfilling the State Defense Order, namely during the development and the production of weapons, military and special equipment, conditions of varying levels of uncertainty arise, which act as a favorable environment for the emergence of risk situations and the formation of risk combinations. Determining the risk intensity of a risk situation (combination) is becoming increasingly relevant, and in this regard, developing a methodology for its determination. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for determining the risk intensity of the stages of the life cycle of the State Defense Order.

The article examines the concept of risk intensity from the point of view of systems at various levels of organization of processes for the development of weapons, military and special equipment, as well as the reasons for its increase at the present stage of the state’s defense capability. Of particular interest for studying the category of risk intensity of the stages of creating weapons, military and special equipment is that with the development of technology, the number of risks associated with the development of weapons, military and special equipment is steadily increasing, therefore there is a need to compare available resources and the likelihood of favorable and adverse consequences.

The novelty of the ongoing research lies in the author’s approach to determining the risk intensity at various stages of the life cycle of weapons, military and special equipment, presented in the form of a methodology for determining the risk intensity of the stages of the life cycle of the State Defense Order, based on the segmentation of the conditions for fulfilling the State Defense Order into risky and risk-free processes.

The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of assessing the risk intensity of creating weapons at all stages of their life cycle, production based on the proposed methodology for management decisions aimed at preventing risk combinations and ensuring sustainable development of the activities of business entities in order to increase the success of the implementation of the State Defense Order.
overlooked menace of plantar fasciitis in the Nigerian setting, with a contextualized treatment protocol
Authors: Nottidge TE  , Nottidge BA
Published: October 2023

Context: Plantar fasciitis is the commonest painful condition of the heel. It has a worldwide prevalence of 10%, a major economic impact and a key negative impact on quality of life. While publications on this condition from the developed world are fairly common, the publications from Nigeria on this condition are scanty and none by a Physiotherapist was found. These findings suggest gross underdiagnosis and thus many people suffering from this condition in this environment may be in misery despite available remedies.Objective: The aim of the study is to draw attention to Plantar fasciitis in this environment, highlight details of Physiotherapy care and provide a contextualized treatment protocol.Study design, setting and subjects: This study applied a retrospective observational study design. A case report was included for depth of discourse. The participants were patients with this condition who presented to the outpatient clinic of the index Physiotherapy department.Results: There were 10 patients with Plantar fasciitis over the 5-year period of the study. Seven of the  patients were in the 40 – 60 year age group; nine out of the 10 patients were female; one patient was self-referred and the median duration of symptoms before presentation was seven months. The main features upon which diagnosis was based were inferior heel pain, first step pain and heel tenderness. All but one patient stopped attending clinic prematurely – probably due to frustration with delay in symptom resolution and fund constraints. A trace of the patients provided data on eight (80%) of them, which showed that six (60%) of the patients had full resolution of the posterior heel pain.Conclusion: Plantar fasciitis is likely to be more common in this environment than published work in this setting indicates. Stretching of the Triceps surae / plantar fascia is the mainstay of treatment. A treatment protocol scaled to our resource constrained setting provides for the major components of diagnosis and treatment in the literature and from our experience. It is hoped that awareness of this condition will increase, and the suffering of patients be mitigated.

Summary

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of bacterial origin caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), which is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is also known as Koch bacillus or tubercle bacillus. The burden of TB has remained a problem due to factors that have promoted and fostered transmission, including increasing resistance of the disease to the most effective first-line anti-TB drugs. There is the need for cases to be diagnosed early and managed appropriately by skilled and knowledgeable health care workers (HCWs). Reports of low level of knowledge concerning TB among some HCWs during the 2016 hajj prompted this review which was prepared using articles on TB searched on various websites of international institutions like the world health organization (WHO), the United States center for disease control and prevention (CDC) and PubMed. Here we provide a brief history of tuberculosis and an overview of the current literature on, basic classification of, immunology, public health concerns and treatment guidelines of TB. The information provided will be a useful guide for HCWs and the general public.

Authors: YAŞA Yağmur , KARADAĞ Ezgi
Published: October 2023

Genetik ve çevresel faktörlerin yanı sıra beslenme alışkanlıkları da kanser için risk faktörü oluşturabilmektedir. Son yıllarda etik, ekolojik ve sağlık açısından farkındalığın artması ile vejetaryen, vegan ve pesketaryen diyet şekli benimsenmeye başlanmıştır. Yapılan çalışmalar doğrultusunda bu diyetlerin başta gastrointestinal sistem kanserleri dahil olmak üzere birçok kanser türüne yakalanma oranında azalma sağladığı görülmüştür. Bunun yanında bireylerin protein, vitamin ve mineral eksikliğine bağlı gelişebilecek diğer hastalıklardan korunması için diyet planlamasının dikkatli yapılması gerekmektedir. Bu diyet tercihleri kanserden korunma aşamasında etkili olurken kanser tedavisi, hastaneye yatış aşamalarında da farklı sorunlar ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bunlar; hastanelerde diyet tercihlerinin karşılanamayacağına inanmaları ya da burada geçmişteki olumsuz deneyimleri yeniden yaşayacakları düşüncesidir. Bu doğrultuda onkoloji hemşirelerinin de gelişen ve değişen dünya düzenine uyum sağlayarak yeni tercihleri ve bunların kişilerin sağlıklarına etkisini değerlendirip bakımına o yönde şekillendirmesi önerilmektedir.

Published: October 2023

Many studies have demonstrated that air quality is an important factor affecting national well-being. Is there a relationship between air pollution and people’s happiness? To explore this, more than 40,000 haze-related tweets on the Chinese largest microblog platform SinaWeibo were collected. Using daily data for 6 Chinese cities from January 1 to February 12, 2023, we applied natural language processing (NLP) to analyze theWeibo tweets and construct a daily city-level expressed happiness metric. A fixed effects model was applied to reveal the relationship between air pollution and happiness. We found that

a one standard deviation rise in the Air Quality Index corresponded to a 0.042 standard deviation fall in the happiness index on average. People in large and rich cities are more sensitive to air pollution, and people suffer more from air pollution on weekends and holidays than on workdays. This project may provide new insights into air pollution and public engagement, and help governments and related institutions to better understand the public’s needs regarding air quality.
