Bu araştırma makalesi 120K993 nolu “Yoksulluğun Yeni Yüzü Kent Yoksulluğunun Eğitime Yansımalarına İlişkin Bir Eylem Araştırması” adlı TÜBİTAK 1001 projesinin ayaklarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Yoksulluğun eğitime etkilerini ölçmek için yapılan çocuklar, öğretmenler ve yöneticiler gözünden nasıl göründüğüne dair çalışmaların sonuncusu olarak ebeveynlerle yapılan araştırma sonuçlarına dayanmaktadır. Yoksulluk araştırmaları sosyal bilimciler tarafından 19. yüzyıldan bu yana tüm dünyada, özellikle de gelişmekte olan ülkelerde yoğunlukla yürütülmektedir. Ancak kent yoksulluğu yeni bir kavramdır ve bu konudaki araştırmalar daha yakın tarihlere dayanmaktadır. Kent yoksulluğu düzensiz ve yetersiz gelir, yetersiz ve riskli temel varlıklar, güvensiz-tehlikeli ve kalabalık haneler, yetersiz kamusal alt yapı, yetersiz temel hizmetler, sınırlı sosyalleşme, sınırlı destek, yoksulların yasalar yoluyla korunmasındaki yetersizlik ve politik ve bürokratik sistemde yoksulların daha az korunması gibi özünde iyi oluş halindeki eksikliği ifade etmektedir. Bu araştırmada Muğla il merkezi (Menteşe) özelinde kent yoksulluğu profilinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada kesitsel tarama tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak araştırma kapsamında geliştirilen anket kullanılmıştır. 207 haneden veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan hanelerdeki sağlık ve beslenme durumları, mülkiyet ve çevre, çocuklarla ilişkiler ve çocukların katılımı ile çocukların eğitimlerine ilişkin bulgulara yer verilmiştir.
ARAP DÜNYASI ÇEVİRİ HAREKETİNE SOSYOLOJİK BAKIŞ: BEYTÜL HİKME VE HUNAYN BİN İSHAK
Authors: Topcu Cemal , Uras Arsun
Published: April 2024

Çeviri, dünyada bilginin yayılmasında her zaman merkezi bir rol oynamıştır. Bu aktarımın önemli bir yapı taşı olan Beytül Hikme (Bilgelik Evi), Antik Yunan bilimi ve felsefesinin önce Arap yarımadasına ve daha sonra çağlar boyunca farklı coğrafyalara aktarılmasına ön ayak olmuştur. Kurumu ve yöneticisi Hunayn bin İshak’ı sosyolog Pierre Bourdieu’nün alan, habitus ve sermaye kavramlarıyla ele alan bu çalışma, çeviri tarihi ve çevirmen tarihini sosyolojik bir yaklaşımla birleştirerek çok disiplinli bir nitelikte yürütülmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında yürütülen Bourdieu’cü analizle, kurum ve yöneticisinin etkilerinin Arap yarımadasından İber yarımadasına ve hatta Rönesans’a kadar devam ettiği görülebilir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre birey olarak çevirmen, sermayeleriyle kurum, toplum ve tarih gibi gittikçe genişleyen düzeylerde katkı sunabilirken sosyal bir faaliyet olarak çevirinin ise tarihsel boyutta yapılandırıcı bir potansiyele sahip olduğu görülmüştür.
BAKIMIN KADINLAŞMASI VE EVDE BAKIM YARDIMI UYGULAMASI: GAZİANTEP’TE BAKIM VEREN KADINLARIN DENEYİMLERİ
Authors: Sever Hasan , Leyla Kuzu Şenay
Published: April 2024

Evde bakım işleri veya daha genel bir tartışma bağlamında bakım, kadınların sorumlu tutulduğu bir alan olup bakımın toplumsal cinsiyet literatüründe uzun bir tartışma geçmişi bulunmaktadır. Farklı ülke deneyimlerinde, bakım emeğinin ilk adımda kurumsal bakım hizmetlerinden aileye geçtiği ve ikinci adımda ise göçmen veya yerelden kadınların ucuz emeğine bel bağlayarak yine aile içinde çözüme kavuşturulmaya çalışıldığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; engelli ve yaşlı bireylerin evde bakımı için geliştirilen evde bakım yardımı uygulamasından yararlanarak ücret karşılığında bakım veren kadınların deneyimlerini, sorunlarını ve taleplerini incelemektir. Nitel araştırmaya dayanan bu saha çalışması, Gaziantep merkez ilçelerinden Şehitkamil’de bakım yardımı alan on beş kadınla yapılan derinlemesine görüşmelere dayanmaktadır. Görüşmelerde yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, evde bakım yardımı, bakım veren kadınlara ekonomik bir destek sunsa da bu ekonomik desteğin sadece kadının refahı için harcanmadığı ortaya çıkmaktadır. Yardımın, hanenin kira ve gıda gibi ihtiyaçlarına, bazı hijyen ürünlerine veya bakımı kolaylaştıran aletlere harcandığı görülmektedir. Araştırmanın bir diğer bulgusu ise bu yardımın, bakımdan kadının sorumlu tutulduğu geleneksel düşünceyi beslediği, bakımın profesyonel bir düzeyde yapılamadığı ve en önemlisi bakımı aile fertleri arasında paylaştırmaktan ziyade bir bireye yüklemesi nedeniyle bireyi sosyoekonomik alandan yalıtarak psikolojik sorunlara yol açabilmesidir.

Authors: Arista Artika , Purabaya Rudhy Ho
Published: April 2024

In an agricultural nation like Indonesia, where villages are one of the key regions for economic growth, Jatisura Village in the Cikedung district of Indramayu has the potential to grow into a smart village. This is because Rosalia Food MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) that have sold their products to the Asian level and reputable communities like Situ Bolang as a tourist attraction both have potential in Jatisura village. Realizing smart village development is a program that requires cooperation from all parties since it is in line with the government's priority program, which is to construct Indonesia from the periphery to minimize the inequity between cities and rural areas. Therefore, a model of architecture that aligns with information technology architecture is required to implement the construction of smart villages. This study intended to build an architecture that aligns with information technology to facilitate the implementation of smart villages based on information and communication technology in Jatisura village, Indonesia's Indramayu regency. To promote digital inclusion and more excellent employment prospects, this study focuses on smart village architecture and methods leveraging ICT initiatives. The TOGAF framework was the foundation architectural concept used. The framework generated business and organizational architecture models, information system and technological architectures, and migration, implementation, and change management architectures. All these architectural models help carry out the process of constructing a smart village, enabling it to do so in a way that effectively carries out the vision and mission of the regency.

This method, called phytotherapy, is a rational, evidence-based, and allopathic treatment method and deals with which active substance group is responsible for the biological effects. In this context, the phytotherapeutic effectiveness of Galium species, which are also used for medicinal purposes among the public, has been examined and proven in many studies. In this study, the biochemical efficacies of five different Galium species were measured and their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and DNA protective effects were tested. It was found that the tested Galium species showed remarkable biochemical efficacies. The results were also compared with the results of some other studies in the literature.
Teknik İmkanlar Çağında Ölüm(süzlüğ)ün Dayanılmazlığı Üzerine
Authors: Bahadır Murat
Published: April 2024

İnkâr edilemez bir gerçeklik olarak ölüm, tarih boyunca insanın gündemini işgal etmiştir. Bu süreçte değişen kültür ve gelişen teknolojiye bağlı olarak insanın ölüm ile olan ilişkisi farklılık (ölüme boyun eğmekten ölümsüz olmaya uzanan) göstermiştir. Antik Yunan’dan modern çağa önce doğayı anlama sonrasında ise gelişen bilim ile aşma girişiminde bulunan insan, doğanın bir parçası olan ölümü de gündeminden çıkararak ölümsüz olmayı amaçlamıştır. Ancak zamanla ölümün, dolayısıyla da ölümsüz olmanın anlamı ve ölümsüzlüğün nasıl elde edileceği değişmiştir. Tarih boyunca ölümün neden olduğu yokluğun dayanılmazlığından korkan insan, ölümsüz olmanın sağlayacağı sonsuz varoluşa erişmeyi arzulamıştır. Mitsel inançlar çağlarından teknolojik metaverse çağına erişen insan için ölüm, mistik bir olgudan ziyade teknik bir olgu haline gelmiştir. Özellikle transhümanizmin de etkisi ile gelecekte daya iyi bir yaşama erişeceğine inanan insan, ölümsüz olmayı arzulamıştır. Ancak ölümün dayanılmazlığına karşı ölümsüz olmanın insanı daha iyi bir konuma getirip getirmeyeceği tartışmalıdır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada dünya üzerindeki uzun varoluşu sürecinde dayanılmaz bir olgu olarak görülen ölüm düşüncesi karşısında insanın gelişen teknolojik imkanlar ile hedeflenen ölümsüzlüğe ulaşmasının ölüm gibi dayanılmaz bir durum olduğu dile getirilmektedir. Buna göre ölüm konusunda iki aşırı uç arasında gidip gelen insan için yaşam ve ölüm iç içedir. Yaşamak ölmeyi baştan kabul etmektir. O yüzden insan, ölüm ile olan ilişkisinde belli bir dengeyi gözetmelidir. Dolayısıyla ölüm ne tamamen insanın gündeminden çıkmalı ne de tamamen yaşamını ve düşüncesini işgal etmelidir. İnsan hem toplumsal hem de bireysel bir boyutu olan ölüm ile olan ilişkisini anlamlı bir zemin (kültür) üzerinde bilinçli bir düşünme etkinliği ile inşa etmelidir. Bu noktada insanın en büyük yardımcısı, geçmişten bugüne ulaşmış olan düşünsel mirastır.
“Özenle Oynanmış Bir Yaşam”: Ali Teoman’ın Konstanyiniyye Üçlemesi’nde Gerçeklik Algısı
Authors: Ergül Ömer , Kumsar İsmail Alper
Published: April 2024

1991 yılında Gizli Kalmış Bir İstanbul Masalı ile edebiyat dünyasına giren Ali Teoman, kırk sekiz yıllık ömründe sekiz öykü, beş roman, iki günce, bir anlatı ve bir deneme kitabı kaleme almıştır. Ali Teoman’ın hem hayatında hem de eserlerinde gerçeklikle ilişkisi farklı bir boyuttadır. Çocukluğundan itibaren oyuna ve aldatmacaya karşı büyük bir ilgi duyan Teoman’ın 90’lı yıllarda çokça tartışılan edebiyat kamuoyunu yanılttığı ödül meselesi de gerçeklik algısının bir ürünü olarak okunabilir. Hayatı bir oyun gibi kurgulayan Teoman’ın eserlerinde aynı mesele “gerçek”i bulandırma, deforme etme, alışılmadık şekillere sokma biçiminde karşımıza çıkar. Bu anlamda Teoman’ın gerçekle kurduğu ilişkiyi kavramak, onun yazar/romancı kimliğini anlamak bakımından önemli bir çıkış noktası olacaktır. Bu makalede edebi metin ve gerçeklik ilişkisine dair bir giriş bölümünden sonra Teoman’ın hayatından gerçeklikle ilişkisi konusunda çıkarsamada bulunabileceğimiz anekdotlara yer verilmiştir. Makalenin “Ali Teoman’ın Konstanyiniyye Üçlemesi’nde Gerçeklik Algısı” başlıklı asıl bölümünde ise “gerçeklik” kavramının Teoman’ın Konstantiniyye Üçlemesi (Uykuda Çocuk Ölümleri, Karadelik Güncesi, Gecenin Atları) isimli roman dizisindeki görünümleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bu değerlendirmede şizofren, ikiz/ikizleşme, sahte, benzetme, mekân ve simülakr kavramları merkeze alınmış ve bahsi geçen kavramların gerçeklik inşasında nasıl bir rol ve öneme sahip olduğu konusunda değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Teoman’ın romanlarındaki şizofren kahramanlar, ikiz olarak romana dâhil olan ya da sonradan ikizleşen bireyler, sanat eserlerinin sahteleştirilmesi, labirentleşen mekânlar, çeşitli simülakrlar ile kendilerini kandıran roman kişileri bu makalenin değerlendirme alanı içindedir.

Published: April 2024

Background: Relative to other abiotic factors like salinity and drought, breeding rice cultivars that are resistant of high temperatures has received a little attention. The purpose of this study is to find parents and genotypes that are suitable for utilizing in high temperature stress breeding program. Methods: The genetic material for this study comprised of a set of germplasm collections (293 accessions) from different sources such as International Rice Research Institute germplasm. These populations were raised at the Department of Rice, Centre for Plant Breeding and Genetics, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The Heat tolarance Indices (TOL) viz., Heat tolerance index (HTI) and Heat susceptibility index (HSI) and association analysis were estimated among germplasm lines for yield attributes under normal and high temperature stress condition. Result: Out of 293 genotypes, sixty nine genotypes significantly exceeded for both HTI and HSI. Association studies revealed that, single plant yield had highly significant and positive association with panicle exertion, number of total tillers per plant, number of productive tillers per plant, panicle length, number of filled grains per panicle and total dry matter production. Spikelet sterility and high temperature susceptibility index had highly significant and negative association with single plant yield. Number of productive tillers had significant and positive correlation with total dry matter production, panicle length, number of filled grains per panicle, days to maturity, hundred grain weight, grain breadth and high temperature susceptible index. Hence these traits may be considered as selection indices for yield and high temperature tolerance improvement programme. Hence it may be possible to combine single plant yield and heat susceptibility index by specific breeding programme for high temperature tolerance in rice.

La Politique Économique en Débat : Une Lecture Critique
Authors: Atman Dkhssi
Published: April 2024

Cet article présente une analyse critique des politiques économiques depuis 1945, structurée autour de quatre périodes clés. De 1945 à 1980, le keynésianisme atteint son apogée dans les années 1940 et 1960, mais commence à s'essouffler dès le début des années 1970, ouvrant la voie à une contre-révolution libérale. De 1980 à 2008, une pensée post-consensus de Washington émerge, suscitant les critiques à l'encontre des thérapeutiques préconisées par les institutions de Bretton Woods et remettant en question leur hégémonie doctrinale. À partir de la crise de 2008, malgré le recours à des politiques de relance budgétaires temporaires, un nouveau consensus en faveur de la rigueur s'installe. Finalement, face à la crise pandémique mondiale du COVID 19, le keynésianisme renaît avec le retour des plans de relance, tandis que le remboursement de la dette liée à la COVID reste un défi pour la majorité des pays. Plus récemment, les politiques de normalisation monétaire prennent de l'ampleur.
Pour clarifier les concepts dans la littérature et examiner la manière dont la recherche est menée sur le sujet, une ébauche d'un examen de la portée (scoping review) a été réalisée, susceptible de servir de précurseur à une revue systématique.
 
This article presents a critical analysis of economic policies since 1945, structured around four key periods. From 1945 to 1980, Keynesianism reached its peak in the 1940s and 1960s but began to wane as early as the 1970s, paving the way for a neoliberal counter-revolution. From 1980 to 2008, a post-Washington Consensus thinking emerged, fueling criticisms against the therapies advocated by Bretton Woods institutions and questioning their doctrinal hegemony. From the 2008 crisis onwards, despite the temporary adoption of fiscal stimulus policies, a new consensus favoring austerity took hold. Finally, faced with the global COVID-19 pandemic crisis, Keynesianism resurged with the return of stimulus plans, while repayment of COVID-related debt remains a challenge for the majority of countries. More recently, there has been a growing focus on monetary normalization policies.
To clarify the concepts in the literature and examine how research is conducted on the subject, a draft of a scoping review has been conducted, which may serve as a precursor to a a systematic review.

Ratio Legis of Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations to Fulfil Creditors' Rights
Authors: Simbolon Meha Middlyne , Sitorus Yosef Felix
Published: April 2024

Law No. 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and PKPU was established to address the debtor's obligations amidst financial incapacity. However, Law No. 37 of 2004 is invoked as the underlying basis by corporations seeking to absolve themselves from debt obligations. The objective is to understand corporate rescue, the principles of commercial exit from financial distress, and their connection to the fulfilment of creditor rights in the PKPU or Bankruptcy processes under Law No. 37 of 2004. The research methodology is empirical juridical, with the primary data as the main source, supplemented by secondary data through observations and interviews, with qualitative analysis and inductive conclusions. The research findings indicate that the simplified evidentiary outlined in Law No. 37 of 2004 is inappropriately invoked as the legal basis for Debtors is financially solvable and viable. Consequently, this leads to creditors losing. Moreover, Law No. 37 of 2004 is considered irrelevant; the emphasis should shift towards the concept of corporate rescue as a principle for business continuity. This approach aligns with practices in developed countries within the EU, as outlined in Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, to be used as a parameter to revise Law No. 37 of 2004.

Abstract
This research is entitled "Criminal Liability for Promotion of Stocks Causing Market Manipulation by Involving Public Figures". The formulation of the problems proposed 1) Criminal liability for stock promotion that causes market manipulation by companies involving Public Figures, and 2) Legal protection for investors who are harmed due to stock promotion actions that result in market manipulation. In connection with the phenomenon of stock promotion actions, it is deemed necessary to study in which case this stock promotion leads to a criminal act of market manipulation as referred to in the Capital Market Law, so that the perpetrators can be charged with the provisions of Article 91 and their criminal sanctions. In addition, the application of criminal sanctions is not sufficient to accommodate the interests of the victims, in this case the investors who are harmed. As an effort to recover investors' losses from stock promotion actions that result in market manipulation, investors can submit applications for restitution and illegal returns of profits and compensation funds.

Dendrite-free Zn anodes enabled by interface engineering for non-alkaline Zn-air and Zn-ion batteries
Authors: Fang Tao , Wu Mengxue , Lu Feiyu , Zhou Zhengyi , Fu Yanpeng , Shi Zhicong
Published: April 2024

Aqueous zinc-metal batteries hold immense promise for large-scale energy storage applications due to their cost-effectiveness and superior safety features. However, uncontrolled dendrite growth, corrosion and side reactions in aqueous environments destabilize the electrode/electrolyte, leading to Zn plating/striping irreversibility. Herein, a low-cost, non-toxic functional electrolyte additive, tetraethyl ammonium bromide (TEAB), addresses this challenge. The preferential adsorption of TEAB on the surface of the Zn anode endows the Zn/electrolyte interface with an optimized electric field distribution and abundant active sites for the uniform and dendrite-free Zn2+ deposition. Moreover, TEAB disrupts the H-bond network between the electrolytes, effectively suppressing water-induced side reactions and corrosion. Consequently, a Zn||Zn symmetric battery achieves a long cycle life of 4,950 h at 1 mA cm-2, and the average coulombic efficiency of the Zn||Cu battery reaches as high as 99.5%. Additionally, even after 2,000 cycles at 3 A g-1, the capacity retention of the Zn||MnO2 battery remains at 91.22%. The non-alkaline full Zn||air batteries deliver remarkable cycling stability up to 270 h.
Assessing the Impact of Multiple Common Factors on the Development of Parkinson’s Disease: An Updated Narrative Review
Authors: Jbaily Hamza
Published: April 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the buildup of misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins. While its exact cause remains unknown, several factors may influence its development. This review examines how factors like chronic constipation, head injuries, cholesterol and uric acid levels, pesticide exposure, smoking, NSAIDs, and caffeine intake may affect PD risk. Chronic constipation appears to be linked to a higher risk of PD, potentially serving as an early warning sign. Head injuries, especially mild-to-moderate ones, may also play a role in increasing PD risk. Surprisingly, higher levels of cholesterol seem to protect against PD, while lower levels of uric acid might increase the risk in the presence of some differences according to gender type. Exposure to certain pesticides is associated with a higher PD risk. NSAIDs, on the other hand, may or may not have a protective effect, with conflicting evidence. Interestingly, caffeine and tobacco smoking appear to lower the PD risk. Further studies are needed to fully understand the complex interplay between these factors and PD. It's also important to remember that these are just general trends, and individual risk factors will vary depending on a person's unique genetic makeup, medical history, and overall health.
A Comparative Morphological Study on the Characteristics of Egg Envelopes of Three Cultrinae Fishes (Cyprinidae, Teleostei) in Korea
Authors: Park Cheol Woo , Kim Jae Goo
Published: April 2024

Three species of subfamily Cultrinae currently live in Korea, but Erythroculter erythropterus has been introduced into the Nakdonggang River and has taken over the habitat, reducing the habitat of Culter brevicauda. Only the endangered species C. brevicauda still lives in the Yeongsangang River, and it is necessary to be careful not to introduce E. erythropterus in the future. And Hemiculter eigenmanni is also found throughout the country. In order to effectively manage and conserve the species in its various habitats and against invasions, this study was initiated. The ultrastructure of the egg envelopes of three species of Cultrinae— E. erythropterus, C. brevicauda, and H. eigenmanni, inhabiting the Geumgang and Yeongsangang Rivers were observed. It was found that the zona radiata of the egg envelopes of all three species were divided into two layers–an outer and inner layer, with the outer surface having a non-structural form. This form is characteristic of fishes with muddy, stagnant habitats or spawning grounds. The number of pore canals on the surface of the egg envelopes was 83 for E. erythropterus, 75 for C. brevicauda, and 58 for H. eigenmanni per 10 ㎛2, and the thickness was 7.89±0.34 ㎛, 12.27±0.46 ㎛, and 7.42±0.24 ㎛, respectively. The shape of the micropyle demonstrated a funnel shape narrowing toward the inner diameter in all three species, and the size of the inner diameter was 6.62±0.29 (6.09~7.10) ㎛ in E. erythropterus, 4.19±0.39 (3.39~4.58) ㎛in C. brevicauda, and 3.98±0.46 (3.47~4.93) ㎛in H. eigenmanni. The differences between species were identified in the number of pore canals, thickness, and micropyle inner diameter of egg envelopes, which were species-specific. Our study revealed a morphological mechanism in the egg envelope that prevents the formation of interspecific hybrids, and these features can be taxonomic traits that clarify species names. It also provided useful data for the production (breeding) of the second generation in aquaculture.

Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of patterned laser trabeculoplasty (PSLT) as an additional treatment for patients of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) receiving maximized ocular hypotensive medications (OHM).
Methods: Forty eyes of 33 patients (average age 72.7±10.7 years) who had not previously undergone open glaucoma surgery or laser trabeculoplasty and were treated with maximized OHM between June 2018 and March 2022 were included. A 360-degree PSLT was conducted and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and survival curves at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months were evaluated.
Results: According to the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the average survival time was 8.1 months with death defined as postoperative IOP reduction of less than 10% or requiring additional treatment. The average survival time was 4.9 months with death defined as postoperative IOP reduction of less than 20% or requiring additional treatment. In the 31 eyes which received no additional treatment after PSLT, the mean preoperative IOP was 18.5±3.9 mmHg, which reduced to 15.3±4.1 mmHg (p=1.62 x 10-6)), 15.5±3.4 mmHg (p=1.51 x 10-5), 15.7±4.0 mmHg (p=1.75 x 10-5), 14.7±4.38 (p=2.89 x 10-6), and 15.0±4.0 mmHg (p=5.74 x 10-9) at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after PSLT, respectively. The IOP reduction rate one year after PSLT was 18.7%. Thirteen of the 31 eyes (42%) achieved a 20% reduction in IOP compared to the baseline.
Conclusion: Adjunctive treatment with PSLT in OAG patients receiving maximized OHM may be effective over 12-months of follow-up.

The study of biologically active substances from natural sources shows the prospect of obtaining a new type of antimicrobial agents, highly effective against pathogenic microorganisms and non-toxic to humans. Our study reveals for the first time that Cornu aspersum mucus has the potential to act as a source of antibacterial agents against bacterial pathogens such as Bacillus cereus 1085, Propionibacterium acnes 1897, Salmonella enterica 8691, Enterococcus faecalis 3915, and Enterococcus faecium 8754. Both mucus fractions with MW<20 kDa and MW>20 kDa showed antimicrobial activity and antioxidant properties that’s why they can be turned into an alternative agent to expensive synthetic antibacterial compounds. Using de novo sequencing 16 novel peptides with potential antibacterial activity were identified by in a fraction with MW<20 kDa. The results of electrophoretic and proteomic analysis of mucus fraction with MW >20 kDa presented proteins with potential antibacterial activity highly homologous to hemocyanins, mucus protein Aspernin, lectins, L-amino acid oxidase-like protein, and mucins (mucin-5AC, mucin-5B, mucin-2 and mucin-17). Thanks to the synergistic action of the bioactive components, the mucus fraction with MW > 20 kDa in low concentrations per 8–2 µg/mL showed promising antimicrobial activity against the tested bacteria, comparable to Vancomycin and without unwanted cytotoxic effects against non-target cells. Additionally, C. aspersum mucus fractions were found to have a positive effect on eukaryotic organisms by reducing the levels of intracellular oxidative damage and increasing the antioxidant capacity of the cell. These findings could serve as a basis for the development of a potent non-cytotoxic antibacterial agent to replace conventional antibiotics and avoid the development of antibiotic resistance.

In the context of the Lubumbashi Coal Production Basin (LCPB), the socio-economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated pressures on populations dependent on forest resources for their subsistence. This study employs a comprehensive methodological approach, integrating advanced remote sensing techniques, including image classification, mapping, and detailed landscape analysis, to quantify alterations in forest cover within the LCPB during the pandemic period. Our findings reveal a consistent trend of declining forested area, characterized by processes of attrition and fragmentation observed throughout various study phases, spanning from May 2019 to November 2023. This reduction in forest cover, notably more pronounced in the vicinity of Lubumbashi city and the northern zone of the LCPB, proved to be less pronounced between November 2019 and September 2020, underscoring the influence of COVID-19 pandemic-induced confinement measures on forest management practices in the region. However, subsequent to this period of restriction, deforestation activity intensified, leading to significant landscape transformations within the LCPB, primarily attributable to expanded human activities, consequently resulting in a notable decrease in the proportion of land occupied by these natural ecosystems. Consequently, the size of the largest forest patch declined substantially, decreasing from 14.62% to 8.20% between May 2019 and November 2023, thereby fostering a heightened density of forest edges over time. Our findings provide a significant contribution to understanding the complex interactions between the COVID-19 pandemic and deforestation phenomena, emphasizing the urgent need to adopt adaptive management strategies and appropriate conservation measures in response to current economic challenges.

Predicting anomalies in manufacturing assembly lines is crucial for reducing time and labor costs and improving processes. For instance, in rocket assembly, premature part failures can lead to significant financial losses and labor inefficiencies. With the abundance of sensor data in the Industry 4.0 era, machine learning (ML) offers potential for early anomaly detection. However, current ML methods for anomaly prediction have limitations, with F1-measure scores of only 50% and 66% for prediction and detection, respectively. This is due to challenges like the rarity of anomalous events, scarcity of high-fidelity simulation data (actual data is expensive), and the complex relationships between anomalies not easily captured by traditional ML approaches. Specifically, these challenges relate to two dimensions of anomaly prediction: predicting when anomalies will occur and understanding the dependencies between them. This paper introduces a new method called Robust and Interpretable 2D Anomaly Prediction (RI2AP) designed to address both dimensions effectively. RI2AP is demonstrated on a rocket assembly simulation, showing up to a 30-point improvement in F1 measure compared to current ML methods. This highlights its potential to enhance automated anomaly prediction in manufacturing. Additionally, RI2AP includes a novel interpretation mechanism inspired by a causal-influence framework, providing domain experts with valuable insights into sensor readings and their impact on predictions. Finally, the RI2AP model is deployed in a real manufacturing setting for assembling rocket parts. Results and insights from this deployment demonstrate the promise of RI2AP for anomaly prediction in manufacturing assembly pipelines.
