Authors: Sangeetha Palanivelu , Shanmugapriya Marayanagaraj
Published: July 2023

Seashell is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. This marine by-product can be used to partial replacement of coarse aggregate or cement in concrete. This paper describes the use of seashell powder and aggregate in the concrete for the replacement of cement and coarse aggregate. The effect of seashell waste in the concrete was studied in terms of its compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength after 28, 56 and 90 days of curing. The replacement of cement by seashell powder were 10%, 20% and 30% and replacement of coarse aggregate by seashell aggregate are 5%, 10% and 15%. The properties of seashell concrete were compared with control mix specimen of M25 grade of concrete. Also, it has been tried to predict the strength of the seashell concrete utilizing adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The prediction of strength with the tool was agreeable with the experimental strength with the minimal error of less than 5%. This study concludes, that partial replacement of cement and coarse aggregate by seashell waste enhances the mechanical properties of the concrete significantly and enable proper utilization of these seashell waste as sustainable material for the concrete.

Bu çalışma, Osmanlı Devleti'nin eğitim kurumlarında coğrafya eğitiminin geçmişine bir bakış sunmaktadır. Coğrafyanın Osmanlı topraklarında nasıl geliştiği, hangi dönemlerde nasıl bir evrim geçirdiği ve coğrafya eğitiminin dönemler arasında nasıl değiştiğine işaret etmektedir. İlk bölümde, Osmanlı coğrafya çalışmalarının temellerini atan coğrafyacılar ve eserleri incelenmiştir. Bu coğrafyacılar, genellikle seyahatnameler ve haritalar aracılığıyla Osmanlı topraklarını ve dünyayı keşfetmişlerdir. İkinci bölümde, Osmanlı'da coğrafya eğitimi dönemlerine göre ele alınmıştır. Tanzimat dönemi, Osmanlı eğitim sisteminde köklü değişikliklerin yapıldığı bir dönemdir. Bu dönemde, coğrafya eğitimi de yeniden yapılandırılmış, yeni müfredatlar oluşturulmuş ve modern coğrafya biliminin prensipleri eğitim programlarına dahil edilmiştir. II. Abdulhamit dönemi ise coğrafya eğitimi açısından zorluklarla karşılaşılan bir dönemdir. Coğrafya derslerinin saatleri azaltılmış ve bazı okullarda tamamen kaldırılmıştır. Bu dönemde, coğrafya yerine din dersine ağırlık verilmiştir. II. Meşrutiyet dönemi ise ilköğretimde önemli gelişmelerin yaşandığı bir dönem olmuştur. İlköğretim zorunlu ve ücretsiz hale getirilmiş, ancak ortaöğretimde gerileme yaşanmıştır. Her dönemde öne çıkan coğrafyacılar ve eserleri incelenmiştir. Bu coğrafyacılar, Osmanlı topraklarında seyahat ederek coğrafi keşiflerde bulunmuş, yerel halkın kültürü, doğal kaynaklar ve iklim gibi konuları detaylı bir şekilde araştırmışlardır. Bu araştırmalarını seyahatnameler ve coğrafya kitapları olarak yayımlamışlardır. Sonuç olarak, Osmanlı Devleti'nin eğitim kurumlarında coğrafya eğitimi, dönemler arasında farklılık gösteren bir gelişim süreci yaşamıştır. Coğrafyanın önemi ve yöntemleri dönemlere göre değişse de coğrafya eğitimi Osmanlı topraklarında her zaman önemli bir yer tutmuştur.

Assessment of the performance persistence of Employee Capital Plans
Authors: Banaś Dawid
Published: July 2023

Estimating the future return rates is virtually impossible. However, it is possible to verify whether financial institutions that invest entrusted funds are able to maintain high rates of return for a long time. This phenomenon is referred to as performance persistence, and has become the object of interest of the author of this article in relation to Employee Capital Plans (ECP). A research hypothesis was adopted that performance persistence in ECP does occur. It was verified using contingency tables that were created for defined date funds that operate in ECP, using monthly rates of return and the Sharpe index. The results obtained by the author allowed concluding that the performance persistence of rates of return in the case of ECP occurs for a maximum of half of the research period.

Published: July 2023

Observation of X-ray counterpart produced by the merger of binary compact star system is of great significance for studying their physical mechanisms. Based on the application requirements of the X-ray counterpart collection device, ring welded samples of 316L stainless steel and 4J29 Kovar alloy were investigated using a continuous wave laser. The effects of heat input on the weld formation, microstructure, mechanical properties, and sealing performance were studied. It was shown that because of the different heat distribution inside and outside the ring weld, the internal profile of the weld cross-section was closer to the circular shape and the columnar crystal growth near the fusion line was longer. Specially, the epitaxial growth was found on the Kovar alloy side. However, the element distribution of the weld was uniform and its crystal structure was austenitic phase. When the heat input was greater than 11.88 J/mm, the tensile strength of the weld was higher than that of the Kovar alloy. The tensile failure locations were at the Kovar alloy BM zone, except for samples with heat input less than 7.92 J/mm. However, when the heat input was greater than 37.50 J/mm, the weld had better sealing performance, and the minimum leak rate could reach 4×10− 10 Pažmm3/s.

Using a digital terrain model to create a geographical basis for a tourist map of the Aimag Khentii (Mongolia)
Authors: Byamba O.
Published: July 2023

The author considers creating a relief model for a digital tourist sketch of the territory of Khentii aimag, Mongolia, as the first stage of creating an electronic map. The initial materials used in drawing up its geographical basis are listed, the main technical solutions for making the relief map of the geographical basis for the territory of Khentii Aimag, Mongolia, are considered. To perform the construction of a digital terrain model (DTM), Spatial Analyst and ArcMap modules were used; they are part of Esri`s ArcGIS10 software, the most widely used one in our country. The proposed method of displaying the relief will enable not only visualizing it in two-dimensional form or as three-dimensional surfaces, but also calculating various morphometric parameters there, such as the slope of the surface, exposure and curvature of slopes, and many more. On the basis of the DTM, visibility zones are constructed (territories visible from the selected observation point taking into account the actual landscape), the volumes of embankments and recesses are calculated; water flow paths along the surface are determined and catchment basins are allocated. After constructing the DEM, a hydrography model is superimposed on it and then the thematic content of the tourist map, namely, unique natural and historical monuments of Mongolia, located in the database of maps created for the first time. The proposed basic solution in the method of terrain mapping can be used to improve and create a geoportal “Tourism of Mongolia”.

Case report: Aborted sudden cardiac death as a first presentation of severe mitral annulus disjunction—a case series and review of the literature
Authors: Apostolou Fay , Ioannides Marios , Mitsis Andreas , Koutsofti Constantina , Deltas Constantinos , Avraamides Panayiotis
Published: July 2023

Mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) is defined as a systolic displacement between the ventricular myocardium and the posterior mitral annulus supporting the posterior mitral leaflet. This structural abnormality is associated with the loss of mechanical annular function manifested as an abnormal systolic excursion of the leaflet hinge point into the left atrium but with maintained electrical function, separating the left atrium and ventricle electrophysiologically. The mitro-aortic fibrous continuity limits MAD anteriorly, between the aortic cusps and the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Consequently, MAD has been observed only at the insertion of the posterior leaflet. It can extend preferentially at the central posterior scallop. The first diagnostic modality aiding the diagnosis is transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), although in some cases adjunctive cardiac imaging modality might be suggested. MAD carries a strong association with malignant ventricular arrhythmogenesis and a profound predisposition for sudden cardiac death (SCD). In this context, a thorough investigation of this morphological and functional abnormality is vital in estimating the risk assessment and stratification for optimal management and elimination of the risk of the patient for SCD. Based on the current scientific data and literature, we will discuss the diagnosis, clinical implications, risk stratification, and therapeutic management of MAD.

Authors: - Dhivya P , - Sangavi N , - Akashprabu A C , - Anooskavin G
Published: July 2023

Heart disease is a prevalent health condition with significant implications for patient health and well-being. Accurate and timely diagnosis plays a crucial role in effective treatment and management. In this study, we propose a combined approach using SelectKBest, Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), and Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM) to develop a robust predictive model for heart disease diagnosis. The SelectKBest algorithm is employed to identify the most informative features from the Statlog Heart Disease dataset. Statistical measures such as chi-squared test are utilized to select the top K features that exhibit the strongest associations with the target variable. The selected features are then used to train a GNB classifier, capturing the probabilistic relationships between the features and the diagnosis of heart disease. Predictions generated from the GNB model are combined with the original features, creating an extended feature matrix. Subsequently, a GBM ensemble model is trained on the extended feature matrix, leveraging the sequential combination of weak learners to improve the overall predictive performance. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, extensive experiments are conducted on the Statlog Heart Disease dataset. Performance metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score are used to compare the combined SelectKBest-GNB-GBM approach against individual classifiers and existing methods.

Published: July 2023

A varicose vein, also known as a ‘Spider vein’, is a dilated, tortuous vein in the subcutaneous tissue of the legs that appears blue or dark purple in colour. These veins are visible and can be easily diagnosed clinically. When valves in the vein do not work properly, the blood does not flow effectively. The expansion of varicose vein is often caused by a weakening of walls and valves. Varicose veins are usually found asymptomatic however it may result in heaviness in the limb, local pain, change in the color, dryness, itching and may develop ankle swelling including cramps. Conditions that increase pressure on leg veins such as sedentary life style, obesity, lack of activity or exercise, menopause, hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, smoking, heavy weight lifting may lead to varicose veins.Varicose vein can be co-related to Siraja Granthi as described in Ayurvedic scriptures. In Ayurvedic Samhitas, many single drugs, formulations and Panchkarma therapies are beneficial in managing varicosity without side any effects. Raktamokshanais the main line of treatment of Siraja Granthi. Shringa, Jalauka, Alabu, Pracchana, Siravedha, Ghati Yantra are types of Raktamokshana.1Siravedha isa Ardhachikitsa in Shalyatantra.2Raktamokshana through Jalaukavacharana is the preferred option on account of its simplicity, supreme therapy (Paramsukumarupay) in Siraja Granthi.3

The main guarantee of the right to judicial protection was and remains the possibility of reviewing a court decision. Appellate proceedings are an important guarantee of achieving the goals and tasks of civil justice, ensuring its legality. In our opinion, appellate proceedings are the most flexible, most operative form of appeal and review of court decisions, which is capable of effectively controlling the everyday practice of courts of first instance. Only within the limits of appeal proceedings can it be possible to detect, correct and prevent all possible violations of legal norms in the activity of lower level courts and their results. It is proposed to legislate in the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine the following definition of the concept of appellate proceeding – this is the activity of an appellate court regulated by civil procedural law regarding a filed appeal against a decision of a court of first instance, which has not gained legal force, which is due to the illegality and (or) unreasonableness of the court decision, regarding the preparation for the appellate review and its adoption of a decision on the justice or injustice of the contested decision or resolution with the possibility of a new decision.It has been proven that the implementation of the right to appeal court decisions, their review by higher courts guarantees the legality of these decisions, is a means of ensuring and protecting the rights and legitimate interests of the participants in the court proceedings and other persons whose interests it concerns. Ensuring the right to an appeal and review of a court decision by an appellate court should be considered as an inalienable right of a person to judicial protection.It was determined that the appellate review consists of two parts: 1) preparation of the case for consideration, which aims to ensure a correct and quick resolution of the case; 2) consideration of the case by the appellate court, during which the case is directly reviewed and the legality and reasonableness of court decisions are checked. All powers of the appellate court can be divided into two groups: those related to the annulment of the decision and those not related to the annulment of the decision. An analysis of the norms of civil procedural legislation allows us to distinguish the following types of acts of the court of appeal: resolutions; determinations; decisions.

corpo da mãe
Authors: Costa Catarina , Avritchir Rosa Aizemberg
Published: July 2023

Este artigo propõe uma visão da relação mãe-bebê, com o corpo como mediador de uma comunicação entre duas psiques. Quando essa comunicação falha, o bebê tende a permanecer apoiado no corpo da mãe, sem se desprender da dependência. Os sintomas consequentes dessa falta de separação entre a dupla aparecem, em especial, na adolescência, quando podem surgir as primeiras manifestações de dificuldades alimentares. O corpo, nesses casos, permanece congelado e infantil, impedindo o desenvolvimento da sexualidade.

Estamos reunidos para homenagear Horácio, que, entre outras virtudes, é um longevo aniversariante e, basicamente, como Mestre da Psicanálise. Mas, como se pode entender psicanaliticamente esta condição de Mestre, sem empregála tão somente como um apelativo louvatório? Tentarei uma sumária reflexão a este respeito, para, em seguida, fazer o meu aporte. [...]
Depressão e ansiedade
Authors: Widlöcher Daniel
Published: July 2023

No campo da depressão, parece fecundo opor a psicogênese das operações mentais (representações e afetos) à lentificação psicomotora que seria o alvo psicofisiológico do tratamento medicamentoso de que dispomos atualmente. Essa distinção clínica nos permite definir melhor as indicações respectivas das duas terapêuticas e as condições de sua eventual associação. No domínio da ansiedade, enfatizaremos a ação desinibidora dos “tranqüilizantes”. Essa ação poderia ser relacionada ao papel desempenhado pelo mecanismo de inibição próprio ao afeto de angústia, independentemente das circunstâncias psicológicas ou fisiológicas nas quais esse afeto é produzido.

Published: July 2023

Pleurotus species (oyster mushroom) cultivation is receiving global attention owing to their cheap labour requirements and nutritional/health benefits. In this study, 10 g of Pleurotus pulmonarius and Pleurotus ostreatus each were cultivated on 400 g of sugarcane bagasse and cotton waste individually. Each substrate was supplemented with wheat bran separately at varying compositions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% w/w) in triplicate and incubated at 28 ± 2°C for 35 days. After incubation, the mushroom growth parameters and qualities (yields, minerals, and proximate composition) were evaluated. Overall, P. pulmonarius cultivated on sugarcane bagasse with wheat bran additives, irrespective of percentage concentration, had better mushroom quality/size, yields, biological efficiency, mineral content, and proximate composition than P. ostreatus. P. ostreatus cultivated on cotton waste performed best compared to P. pulmonarius at flush 1 (P ≤ 0.05). Also, relative low calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus contents were observed on both substrates but were significantly rich in potassium (1.32 – 6.817%) and protein (26.60 – 30.46%) contents. Thus, this study will guide farmers in selecting mushroom strains, substrates and percentage additives for a healthy and vigorous mushroom.

NVS-ZP7-4 was identified as a novel chemical reagent targeting the zinc input protein ZIP7, which accounts for the zinc surge from the apparatus to the cytoplasm. Since zinc dysregulation is related to multiple diseases, in this study, we aimed to identify the anti-tumor effects of NVS-ZP7-4 and explore the molecular mechanisms of NVS-ZP7-4 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. We found that NVS-ZP7-4 inhibited cell viability, caused cell cycle arrest, induced apoptosis, and inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCCLM3 and Huh7 cells. We further investigated the inhibited activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway was involved in the antitumor effect of NVS-ZP7-4 in HCC. Furthermore, NVS-ZP7-4 inhibited HCC tumor growth in vivo. The present study demonstrated that NVS-ZP7-4 is a promising therapeutic target for HCC by regulating PI3K/AKT signaling.
Η Κλασική Πολιτική Οικονομία και η Νεοκλασική τομή

To παρόν ερευνητικό σημείωμα εξετάζει συνοπτικά την θεωρητική συμβολή στην οικονομική σκέψη τόσο της Κλασικής, καθώς επίσης και της Νεοκλασι-κής Σχολής. Η Κλασική Σχολή υποστηρίζει την αντικειμενική ερμηνεία της αξί-ας, ενώ η Νεοκλασική Σχολή την υποκειμενική ερμηνεία, υπογραμμίζοντας τις διαφωνίες των Σχολών Σκέψης, ως προς την ερμηνεία των οικονομικών φαινομένων. Η Κλασική Σχολή υποστηρίζοντας την αντικειμενική ερμηνεία της αξίας, δίνει έμφαση στο κόστος παραγωγής, ενώ η Νεοκλασική Σχολή υποστηρίζει την υποκει-μενική ερμηνεία της αξίας που θεμελιώνεται στην χρησιμότητα του καταναλωτή. H Κλασική Σχολή διατηρεί την ανάλυση σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο, ενώ η Νεοκλασική Σχολή εισάγει την χρήση μαθηματικών εργαλείων, δίνοντας έμφαση στις οριακές μεταβολές και ελαστικότητες, ενώ δημιουργεί υποδείγματα, με πλέον δημοφιλές το Μαρσαλιανό σταυρό. Το σημείωμα καταλήγει να υπογραμμίζει τόσο τις ομοιότη-τες, όσο και τις διαφορές της Κλασικής, όσο και της Νεοκλασικής Σχολής.

Hemingway: the posthumous fiction and Nabokov’s Lolita: A cross-textual reading
Authors: Abouddahab Rédouane
Published: July 2023

Some of Hemingway’s posthumous fiction engages in dynamic intertextual relations with Lolita. The study identifies some of these protean links but goes further, pointing out the structural and ethical differences between the two authors’ work, Nabokov’s being rooted in a logic of perversion, while Hemingway’s dramatizes what can be called perverse temptation combined with sublimation. The study, which is based on intertextuality but not limited to it, proves helpful for a better understanding of the tension generated between desire and non‑normative sexuality, thus engaging in a debate with the perversion‑oriented criticism that tends to situate Hemingway’s work in perverse clinical categories

Authors: Priyadarshini Theetla , Pradheep Kumar Kokku , CH Sravanthi , Chaitanya Jyothi Ravula
Published: July 2023

Seizure disorders are a major public health problem in a developing country like India. Epilepsy characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures is a common heterogeneous neurological problem in children that exerts a significant medical, physical, psychological, social, and economic challenge. This study evaluated the importance of the available diagnostic modalities, EEG and MRI, which could influence the management, prognosis and recurrence of unprovoked seizures.

The aims and objectives: To determine the role of Electroencephalography and MRI BRAIN in evaluating children presenting with unprovoked seizures.

Methodology: The present study was a hospital-based observational study carried out during the period of January 2021 to December 2021 of 70 children who presented with unprovoked seizures to the Department of Paediatrics, Niloufer Hospital, Hyderabad.

Results: Among the 70 children who were investigated, EEG showed abnormal findings in 45 (64.29 %) cases. Out of these, the majority of 32 (45.71 %) cases had generalized seizures, and 13 (18.57 %) cases were focal seizures. MRI showed abnormal findings in 30 (42.86 %) cases, and an equal percentage of cases, 15 (21.43 %) of generalized seizures and focal seizures, were having abnormal MRI findings out of the 30 cases with abnormal MRI findings. But, when studied among the individual seizure subtype, a major proportion of focal seizure (68.18 %) cases out of 22 focal seizures had abnormal MRI findings when compared to 31.25 % of generalized seizure cases out of 48 generalized seizure cases with abnormal MRI findings.

Conclusion: MRI can identify most of the structural brain abnormalities, and EEG is useful to clearly identify the region of the epileptogenic foci. Therefore, EEG and MRI were useful in identifying a possible cause for unprovoked seizures in children
