A Novel Proposal for an Adapted Vehicle for Informal Waste Pickers in Ambato – Ecuador
Authors: Goyes Balladares Andrea Cristina , Pardo Jara Ingrid Dennise , Moya Jiménez Roberto Carlos
Published: June 2024

Solid waste management represents a challenge for contemporary cities because it involves various levels of management and processing. At the base of the recycling pyramid, the crucial role of informal recyclers stands out, whose work improves the environmental conditions of cities. Despite its valuable contribution, informality has marked this profession, with deplorable working conditions at a social and economic level and low occupational safety. Recyclers roam the city in search of as much recyclable material as possible, so they can later sell it and continue the chain. However, the operational process of the recyclers is striking due to the inadequate conditions, in terms of personal protection and mobilization. Traditionally, they move with a cart, a product intended for transporting heavy loads over short distances. However, it is used by waste pickers to travel long distances during the daily working day.  Through the methodology of early and continuous validation for product design, a vehicle adapted for the work of informal recyclers in the city of Ambato is proposed. It shows a valuable vision of addressing management in an inclusive, effective way for the city, with adequate working conditions at the operational level for waste pickers.
EFFECTIVINESS OF USING E-FILLING AND TAXPAYER’S COMPLIANCE LEVEL IN REPORTING SPT AT THE SELONG TAX SERVICES, EXTENTION AND CONSULTATION OFFICE (KP2KP SELONG), DURING 2011-2020
Authors: Alwi Muhammad
Published: June 2024

The aim of the study was to analize of the effectiveness of using e-filling  and the level of tax payer’s compliance in reporting SPT before and after using e-filling at The Selong Tax Services, Extention and Consultattion office (KP2KP Selong) during 2011-2020. The data is secondary data such as the number of registered tax payers, the number of tax payer  reporting and not reporting SPT during 2011-2020.
Based on data anlayses it is known that both  before and after using e-filling in reporting SPT has not cange significantly, and is still classified as very law. The average SPT reporting during 2011-2017, before using e-filling, was 37% (very law catagory), and after using e-filling, 2018-2020, is 38,20% (still very law catagory). So using e-filiing is not efektive yet. The Compliance of tax payer, in term of percentage of reporting SPT, even thoug there was increase in SPT reporting of 1.20%,  after using e-filling, is very law catagory. The law level compliance of the taxpayer in reporting of SPT due to lack of awareness and lack understanding of modern tax system.There needs to be continuity of conselling or dissamination of the modern tax system and use of e-filling to taxpayer.

Ikan bandeng, Chanos chanos adalah produk perikanan yang banyak digemari sehingga permintaannya semakin meningkat. Pakan merupakan salah satu faktor penentu keberhasilan budidayanya karena berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan biaya produksi. Harga pakan terus meningkat, sehingga diharapkan penggunaan pakan alternatif dengan harga yang lebih murah tetapi tetap berkualitas. Tepung ikan komersial dapat digantikan oleh tepung ikan sapu-sapu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis respon pertumbuhan ikan bandeng menggunakan tepung ikan sapu-sapu (TS) sebagai sumber protein utama selain tepung ikan komersial (TK). Ikan bandeng berukuran ±7,0 cm dengan bobot ±4,35 g dipelihara selama 60 hari. Persentase TS sebagai perlakuan, perlakuan A 25%, B 30%, C 35% dan D pakan komersial (kontrol). Bahan pakan lainnya yang digunakan yaitu tepung ikan komersial, tepung dedak, tepung jagung, tepung kopra, vitamin dan mineral. Dosis pakan 5%/berat badan dan frekuensi pemberian 3 kali sehari. Parameter yang diamati yaitu pertumbuhan bobot dan panjang, kelangsungan hidup dan konversi pakan serta kualitas air. Menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Data dianalisis ragam menggunakan ANOVA dan uji lanjut Duncan, kualitas air dianalisis secara deskriptif. Perlakuan berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan konversi pakan tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap tingkat kelangsungan hidup, kualitas air dapat ditolerir dengan baik. Terdapat kecenderungan semakin banyak penggunaan TS maka kadar protein pakan semakin meningkat dan respon pertumbuhan dan konversi pakan semakin baik. Penggunaan TS 35% lebih baik dan respon tersebut sama dengan perlakuan D (pakan komersial). Tepung ikan komersial dapat digantikan oleh tepung ikan sapu-sapu sebagai alternatif sumber protein pada pakan ikan bandeng.

El derecho internacional humanitario, sus reglas, su interpretación y la Corte Penal Internacional
Authors: Angarita Piña Ricardo
Published: June 2024

El artículo está dividido en dos partes. La primera pretende, mediante resumen del Derecho Internacional Humanitario (DIH) en cinco reglas, agilizar su comprensión y también manifestar que la interpretación de estas normas humanitarias no puede ser desligada de su verdadero sentido y esencia que es la asistencia y protección a una categoría de personas protegidas, como la población civil y los combatientes fuera de combate. Estas reglas de la guerra, también ponen límites y obligaciones a las partes en conflicto armado al momento de realizar operaciones militares.
Estas reglas del DIH que son de obligatorio cumplimiento para todos los actores de la guerra, son: El trato humano a las personas que no participan o dejaron de participar en las hostilidades; la exigencia de diferenciar entre combatiente y no combatiente y la obligación de diferencia entren objetivos militares y bienes protegidos; la proporcionalidad; la limitación de los métodos y medios de guerra; y la no reciprocidad.
En una segunda parte, miraremos la estructura, finalidad y características de la recién creada Corte Penal Internacional, que en términos generales busca castigar a las personas que hayan cometido crímenes de genocidio, de guerra (infracciones al DIH) y de lesa humanidad. Menciona, al final, el papel del Comité Internacional de la Cruz Roja como promotor y guardián del DIH frente a la Corte Penal Internacional.
Navigating challenges in new product development: Strategies for reducing failure rates in the medical device industry
Authors: Nirali P Shah
Published: June 2024

New product development (NPD) in the medical device industry is critical for advancing healthcare technology and improving patient outcomes. Due to high usage of automated processes and applications in healthcare, the medical devices are not limited to products but have expanded to software as medical device. However, the failure rate of NPD projects in this sector remains high due to various challenges. This article explores the complex NPD process, which includes concept development, feasibility studies, design, and development, verification and validation, regulatory approval, and commercialization. Major reasons for project failures are identified, such as regulatory challenges, Change Management issues, market misalignment, communication failures, and insufficient risk management. Addressing these failure points requires a multifaceted approach. Regulatory pathways should be navigated with careful planning and compliance, and market needs must be thoroughly understood through comprehensive research. Resource allocation should be optimized to avoid constraints, and effective communication channels should be established to align all project participants. Finally, implementing rigorous risk management strategies, such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), can help mitigate potential risks early in the development process. By adopting these strategies, medical device companies can improve their NPD processes, reduce the failure rate of projects, and bring innovative and effective medical devices to market successfully.

Background: Talus fractures represent 3% to 6% of all foot and ankle fractures and are frequently associated with significant morbidity and poor outcomes. They typically result from high-energy trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from heights. The combination of talar body and tibial plafond fractures is particularly rare, with few cases reported in the literature. Case Report: We present the case of a 20-year-old female who sustained a closed injury to her right ankle after a 6-meter fall. Clinical examination revealed swelling, pain, and bruising without skin opening or neurovascular disturbances. Radiographs and a CT scan identified a non-displaced fracture of the tibial plafond, a medial malleolus fracture, and a posterior process talus fracture. The patient underwent closed reduction and internal fixation with percutaneous screws. At six months post-surgery, she exhibited a good functional outcome with minimal residual pain and slight limitations in ankle movement. Discussion: Talar body fractures commonly result from falls that exert axial compression or shearing forces. Severe cases involve comminution of the ankle and subtalar joints, often accompanied by malleoli fractures. The concomitant fracture of the tibial plafond and talus, as seen in this case, is rare. Managing such injuries is challenging due to high risks of avascular necrosis, subtalar arthritis, and restricted ankle motion. Thorough radiographic and clinical assessments are crucial for effective management, emphasizing the need for careful preoperative planning, precise anatomical reduction, and stable fixation. Conclusion: This rare case of combined talus body and tibial plafond fractures highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation and appropriate management to minimize serious complications.

Published: June 2024

Gastrointestinal helminth infection in cattle caused by trematodes (flukes), cestodes (tapeworms), and nematodes (roundworms) causes significant diseases which may result to growth retardation and significant economic damage. An investigation of gastrointestinal parasites of cattle sold at Kugiya market Bukuru, Jos South LGA was carried out between January and April 2016. Faecal samples of 232 cattle were examined using floatation method (Saturated Salt Solution). All the samples had gastrointestinal parasites. Nineteen 19(100%) species of gastrointestinal parasites were encountered, 2(3.88%) of which are protozoans, while the remaining 17(96.12%) were helminths as follows: 5(17.67%) trematodes (including 1 amphistome), 1(12.07%) cestode and 11(17.67%) nematodes species. The most frequently encountered were nematodes with a prevalence of 66.38% (in 154 samples), followed by the trematodes in 41 samples with a prevalence of 17.67%, cestodes in 28(12.07%) and the least protozoa in 9(3.88%). The parasites encountered are Dicrocoelium dendrititcum 8(3.45%), Taenia saginata 28(12.07%), Ostertagia ostertagi 16(6.89%), Trichuris trichuiria 13(5.60%), Oesophagustomum radiatum 16(6.89%), Bunostomum phlebotomum 22(9.84%), Amphiostomes species 15(6.47%), Haemonchus contortus 16(6.89%), Cooperia pectinata 19(8.19%), Trichostrongylus axei 11(4.74%), Dicrocoelium hospes 5(2.16%), Strongyloides papillosus 11(4.74%), Fasciola hepatica 7(3.02%), Fasciola gigantica 6(2.59%), Oesophagustomum species 12 (5.17%), Dictyocaulus viviparous 7 (3.02%), Ascaris vitulorum 11(4.74%), Eimeria bovis 3(1.29%) and Eimeria zuernii 6 (2.59%). The cestode, T. saginata had the highest prevalence of 12.07% while the protozoa, E. bovis had the lowest 1.29%. Sex and age-related infection were not significantly different at P > 0.05. Likewise, the source, breed and stool consistency related infection were not significantly different.
Surveillance as a variable explaining why other people’s presence in a park setting affects sense of safety and preferences
Authors: Lis Aleksandra , Karolina Zalewska
Published: June 2024

Research on preferences towards urban parks very rarely takes into account the impact of other people’s presence in a park setting. We examined how the number of people in the vicinity and their distance affect sense of safety and preferences towards park space, and what role surveillance (being seen or heard) plays in these relationships. We analysed the correlations between the variables and the mediating effects. For this purpose, we employed a within-subjects design in which 194 participants evaluated a set of 112 eye-level photographs of park landscapes with regard to perceived safety, landscape preference and surveillance. We calculated how many people were in the field and determined their distance on the basis of photos. We analysed a number of mediation models testing hypotheses about the mediating role of surveillance and safety in the impact of other people’s presence on safety and preferences. Most of the hypotheses presented, and verified by the analysis of indirect effects, were confirmed. The number of people does not affect preferences, but does affect safety, and this explains why the sense of being monitored (being seen or heard) grows along with the number of people present. On the other hand, the influence of distance on preferences is explained by a sequential model — greater distance is associated with less surveillance; in turn, surveillance increases sense of safety, which also leads to stronger preferences.

Published: June 2024

Although the COVID pandemic dramatically expanded K–12 remote learning in its first years, little is known about the lasting effects on virtual schooling policies and practices. Drawing on evolutionary theories of change and qualitative data from 2019 to 2022, we explore this topic in Oregon, a state with a long history of virtual schools. We find that the pandemic contributed to limited change in state virtual schooling policy and some shifts in local organizational practices. Our data also raise questions about the durability of any changes and the implications for marginalized students. Ultimately, this study provides much-needed insights on the impact of the pandemic on policy and practice, and the utility of multi-disciplinary, equity-oriented theory to understand change processes in K–12 education.

Authors: Fu Jianbin , Tan Xuan , Kyllonen Patrick C.
Published: June 2024

The rank two-parameter logistic (Rank-2PL) item response theory models refer to a set of models applying the 2PL model in a sequential ranking process that occurs in forced-choice questionnaires. The multi-unidimensional pairwise preference with 2PL model (MUPP-2PL) is a Rank-2PL model for items with two statements. Focusing on items with three statements, we develop a maximum marginal likelihood estimation with an expectation-maximization algorithm to estimate item parameters and their standard errors. A simulation study is conducted to check parameter recovery, and then the model is applied to a real dataset. Finally, the findings are summarized and discussed, and future research is suggested.
The Mechanism of HPV-mediated DNA Methylation in the Promoter Region of Long-chain Non-coding RNA MAGI2-AS3 in the Occurrence and Development of Cervical Cancer
Authors: Zhang Jie , Xia Qiong , Zhang Qinghua
Published: June 2024

Background: Cervical cancer, a malignancy of gynecological origin, typically necessitates a therapeutic approach combining surgery and chemoradiotherapy as the primary intervention. However, the 5-year survival rate remains suboptimal, prompting researchers to explore novel strategies for the early diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. This study delves into the investigation of human papillomavirus (HPV)-mediated DNA methylation modifications within the promoter region of the long non-coding RNA MAGI2-AS3 during cervical cancer development. This paper is an experimental study, laboratory based, using cell lines. Methods: A lentivirus overexpression vector encoding HPV16 E6/E7 proteins was established for transfecting cervical epithelial cells. The methylation status of DNA in the MAGI2-AS3 promoter region was assessed using MassARRAY, and the MAGI2-AS3 gene expression was measured through quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Subsequently, the correlation between methylation levels and gene expression in cervical cancer was analyzed. Results: (1) Relative to the HPV-negative cervical cancer cell line C33A, MAGI2-AS3 expression significantly decreased in the HPV-positive cervical cancer cell line Siha. (2) The methylation rate of 16 CpG sites in the HPV-positive cervical cancer cell line Siha was notably higher compared to the HPV-negative cervical cancer cell line C33A. (3) To further substantiate the regulatory impact on DNA methylation and expression within the MAGI2-AS3 promoter region, we silenced the expression of HPV16 E6 in the HPV-positive cervical cancer cell line Siha using HPV16 E6 siRNA. The ensuing qRT-PCR analysis revealed a significant up-regulation of MAGI2-AS3 expression in the HPV16 E6 siRNA group when contrasted with the negative control group. MassARRAY analysis was employed to gauge the DNA methylation levels in the promoter region of the MAGI2-AS3 gene in HPV-positive cervical cancer cells (Siha) following HPV16 E6 silencing. The results demonstrated a significantly lower methylation rate at the CpG_29 site in the HPV16 E6 siRNA group compared to the HPV16 E6 siRNA group. Conclusions: The study establishes a close association between HPV infection and elevated methylation levels coupled with diminished expression of MAGI2-AS3. The influence of HPV infection on the malignant transformation of cervical epithelial cells is potentially mediated through the regulatory modulation of MAGI2-AS3 expression via DNA methylation.

Authors:   Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery of the Voivodeship Hospital in Opole, Opole, Poland, Janik Krzysztof , Grzelecki Dariusz
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Ankle fractures are one of the most common lower extremity injuries. Despite the high incidence of these fractures in the population, the best therapeutic approach has not been established yet. The treatment of posterior malleolus fractures is particularly controversial. Aim. Evaluation of percutaneous posterior-to-anterior fixation of posterior malleolus fracture (posterolateral fragment) in terms of safety of the method and accuracy of fracture reduction. A detailed description of the surgical technique was also presented. Materials and methods. A retrospective evaluation included 18 patients operated on due to complex ankle fractures between April 2023 and March 2024. All patients included in the study underwent percutaneous posterior-to-anterior fixation of posterior malleolus fracture. Patients were evaluated for neurovascular complications and postoperative CT scans were assessed to determine the accuracy of posterior malleolus reduction. Results. In 14 patients (77.8%), the fracture displacement was less than 1 mm; in 3 patients (16.7%), the displacement was 1-2 mm; and in one patient (5.5%), the displacement was >2 mm. No neurovascular complications were observed in any patient. Conclusions. Percutaneous posterior-to-anterior fixation of fractures of the posterolateral part of the posterior malleolus is a safe method and provides a high percentage of anatomical reduction.

Published: June 2024

The calculations of Zn activities in the ternary liquid solder alloy Zn-Bi-In at 873 K were conducted through the application of the Molecular Interaction Volume Model (MIVM). The calculated values were compared to experimental data for three different cross-sectional examinations, namely for the bismuth-to-indium ratios (xBi: xIn) of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1. Moreover, the integral excess free energy of these ternary liquid alloys was assessed using the same model parameters in order to test their validity. Then, the values were compared to the relevant experimental data reported in the literature that was already in existence. A satisfactory concordance has been observed between the theoretical predictions and the experimental findings.
Dwarf galaxy merger-induced star formation rate: A case study of Mrk 1481
Authors: Chhatkuli Daya Nidhi , Paudel Sanjaya , Sedain Amrit , Aryal Binil
Published: June 2024

The merger of the galaxies serves as a trigger for the increase in the galaxy’s star formation rate (SFR), which can be quantified by observing the column density of the Hα line. Our findings report the presence of various gas and metal emission lines, strongly indicating that the galaxy hosts very young stars and is currently undergoing active star formation processes. Notably, we report a relatively high SFR of ∼ 0.0055 M⊙ yr-1 for a dwarf galaxy, alongside a metallicity level of 12 + log(O/H) ∼ 8.88 dex. Our photometric analysis reinforces the notion that the galaxy is in the midst of a merger phase. Additionally, the analysis indicates that the galaxy has a relatively flat shape (Sérsic index ∼ 0.8), with stars distributed more broadly and less concentrated toward its center. This provides further evidence of the ongoing merger and its impact on the galaxy’s structure. The half-life radius of the galaxy is estimated to be 2.73 arcsec by using the Petrosian method.

In the present work, we have studied the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of 2D bilayer hexagonal-Boron Nitride (h-BN), single B vacancy defect on h-BN (B-hBN), single N vacancy defect on h-BN (N-hBN), water adsorption; on B-hBN (w-B-hBN) and on N-hBN (w-N-hBN), materials by spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) methods employing Quantum ESPRESSO (QE) computational tools. The structural stability of the h-BN, B-hBN, N-hBN, w-B-hBN, & w-N-hBN materials has been investigated by determining their minimum ground state energy and binding energy, and found that they are stable materials. The pristine h-BN bilayer supercell structure is also found to be more compact than other defective configurations. By analyzing the band structures and density of states (DoS) plots of these materials, we have examined their electronic properties, and found that pristine h-BN has a broad bandgap, whereas B-hBN, N-hBN, w-B-hBN, & w-N-hBN exhibit semiconducting nature. The DoS and partial density of states (PDoS) computations of the considered materials are used to study their magnetic properties. It is found that pristine h-BN is a non-magnetic, and B-hBN, N-hBN, w-B-hBN & w-N-BN are magnetic materials. Therefore, vacancy defects on pristine h-BN, and water adsorption on vacancy defected h-BN materials cause it to change from non-magnetic to magnetic. They could find use in the domain of device applications.
Non-Verbal Communication in Indian Classical Dance Forms
Authors: Deshkar Ankita
Published: June 2024

This study delves into the intricate world of non-verbal communication within the rich mosaics of the Indian classical dance forms. The statement quoted by Noam Chomsky, “Language is not an inborn quality, it is creative and acquired”. The objective of this research is to analyse and focus on the need for humans to communicate, that too using non-verbal communication. Dance will not be relegated to simply a performance genre but will be treated as an essential ingredient of life. The focus would be on identifying the non-verbal elements of the dance that would communicate not just the stories but also social messages if needed through the gestures and other elements in Indian Classical Dance Forms. For this analysis, the researcher has considered, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattam, and Kathakali, the dance forms that trace their origin to the southern states of India namely, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala. The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining elements of anthropology and performing arts to unravel the communicative nuances in the intricate hand gestures, facial expressions, body postures, and rhythmic footwork inherent in Indian classical dances. By examining the symbolism and cultural significance of gestures (mudras), the utilization of facial expressions (abhinaya), and the synchronization of movements with musical rhythms, the research seeks to unveil the deeper layers of communication that lie beneath the surface of these mesmerizing performances.

Authors: Wagle Tej Prasad
Published: June 2024

Nepal, because of its specific topographical and geographical characteristics, is at the epicenter of vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. This study investigates the way three Nepali newspapers, namely Kantipur, Nagarik, and Nayapatrika Daily framed climate change from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The research provides a comprehensive approach to investigating the framing ways used by these newspapers, identifying and evaluating five prominent frames: environmental impact, humanitarian, policy, and governance, economic, and global justice. Through rigorous examination of chosen reports and articles from the required timeframe, the study indicates a noticeable trend in framing preferences among these three publications. Significantly, the results highlight the centrality of the Policy and Governance Frame as the main focus, which comprises more than half of the total coverage, then following the Environmental Impact Frame. The research presented here provides vital insight into each of the methods applied by media sources to convey climate change in Nepal. The study highlights the significance of using a diverse framing approach for addressing the many facets of this complicated issue, acknowledging the nation's varied climate-related challenges. This research not only contributes to the scholarly knowledge regarding climate change communication but also has practical implications for professionals in the media, policymakers, and the general public. The need for a more varied and diverse framing approach is emphasized, showing the potential for more successful communication tactics that are tailored to Nepal's particular context and challenges in the face of climate change.
Nazwy osobowe jako wyznacznik idiolektu pisarza – na przykładzie dzieł Erazma Glicznera (1535–1603)
Authors: Gozdek Magdalena
Published: June 2024

W artykule podjęto próbę weryfikacji tezy o potencjalnej zależności pomiędzy warstwą onimiczną dzieł XVI-wiecznego pisarza Erazma Glicznera a jego językiem osobniczym. Poddany analizie materiał został wyekscerpowany bezpośrednio z czterech – zróżnicowanych gatunkowo – starodruków autorstwa Glicznera: Książek o wychowaniu dzieci (1558), Odporu na odpowiedź kwestyj (1579), Kroniki żywota, nauki i spraw Pana Jezusa (1579) oraz Appellatii, którą się popiera i znowu wywodzi (1598). Oglądowi poddane zostały wszystkie nazwy osobowe obecne w wymienionych publikacjach, natomiast szczegółowa analiza przeprowadzona w artykule dotyczy kilku wybranych antroponimów, wśród których znalazły się imiona Eliasz, Judasz, Filip, Józef, Grzegorz oraz Magdalena. Nazwy te zostały poświadczone przynajmniej w dwóch badanych zabytkach. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono kwestii adaptacji obcych antroponimów w przedziale czterdziestu lat dzielących pierwszą i ostatnią publikację protestanckiego autora na tle tendencji właściwych dla polszczyzny drugiej połowy XVI w. Istotne dla prowadzonych rozważań były takie aspekty, jak kontekst użycia nazwy własnej oraz jej referent. Dokonana analiza nazw własnych wyekscerpowanych z utworów Glicznera wykazała słabą zależność idiolektu tego autora od onomastykonu zawartego w jego tekstach.
Spory o wegetarianizm w wieku XIX Ideowe i materialne podstawy diety bezmięsnej
Authors: Pasieka Paweł
Published: June 2024

Założone w 1847 roku w Anglii pierwsze na świecie Towarzystwo Wegetariańskie przyjęło podstawową deklarację programową, zgodnie z którą członkom nie wolno było spożywać mięsa, drobiu oraz ryb (flesh, fowl, fish). Co do jaj, mleka, serów, masła i miodu pozostawiono członkom wolny wybór. Również od ich decyzji zależało to, czy będą korzystać z alkoholu, tytoniu, używek takich, jak kawa, herbata, lub też ubrań i materiałów pochodzenia odzwierzęcego. Szeroka formuła pozwoliła połączyć ze sobą wegetarian, którzy w zróżnicowany sposób przestrzegali tych wskazań, lecz nieuchronnie prowadziła również do kontrowersji i sporów na temat tego, co właściwie oznacza bycie wegetarianinem. Pod koniec XIX wieku wewnętrzne konflikty ideowe nasiliły się także z uwagi na to, że powstały nowe produkty „czysto” roślinne, zamienniki masła, mleka, mięsa i skór, które znacznie poszerzyły materialną bazę wegańskiego stylu życia. W artykule omówiono zarówno ideologiczny, jak i materialny wymiar powstania oraz rozwoju ruchu wegetariańskiego w drugiej połowie XIX wieku i prześledzono narodziny dwudziestowiecznego weganizmu.

Published: June 2024

Gelişen teknoloji ve küreselleşmeyle birlikte ülkeler arasında insan ve ürün açısından giriş çıkışlar artmaya başlamıştır. Bu geçişlerde, ürünlerin ülkeler arasında aktarılması ile oluşan dış ticaret işlemlerinde ülkelerin belirli bölgelerinde yer alan sınır kapıları büyük önem taşımaktadır. Mal giriş çıkışının yapıldığı sınır kapıları gümrük olarak adlandırılmakta ve geçecek ürüne göre takip edilen süreçler farklılaşabilmektedir. Türkiye’de ise süreçlerin kontrol edilebilmesi için gümrük noktalarında üç farklı hat kullanılmaktadır: kırmızı hat, sarı hat ve mavi hat. Kırmızı ve mavi hatlarda sırasıyla istisnasız tüm ürünler kontrol edilmekte ya da yetkilendirilmiş kişi sertifikasına sahip olanlar için kontrolsüz geçiş hakkı sağlanmaktadır. Sarı hatlarda ise ürünler gümrük memuru tarafından mevzuat ve yönergeye göre riskli ya da risksiz olarak sınıflandırılmakta ve bu sınıflandırma sonucuna göre gelen mallar kontrol edilmekte ya da edilmemektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmada sarı hat için ürünlerin riskli ya da risksiz olduğunu belirleyebilmek amacıyla makine öğrenmesi ve yapay sinir ağları yöntemleri kullanılarak model geliştirilecektir. Bu doğrultuda makine öğrenmesi başlığı altında yer alan k-en yakın komşu, lojistik regresyon, destek vektör makineleri, karar ağaçları, rassal orman ve naif Bayes yöntemleri ve yapay sinir ağları başlığı altında yer alan çok katmanlı algılayıcı (multi layer perceptron-MLP) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde karar ağacı yönteminin mevcut veri seti için en iyi sonuçları verdiği gözlemlenmiştir.
