Authors: Kadi Mustafa Nurullah , Orhan Ozlem , Yüksel Yılmaz
Published: December 2023

Background: Dart sport has become a sport that has recently become widespread among sports branches and its popularity is increasing rapidly day by day. With this popularization, research on darts is increasing. It is stated that athletes can do the training they do at any time of the day with a much better performance at a different time, as in many changing conditions. In addition, at a different time of day, fatigue may be reached later or recovery may occur more quickly. For these reasons, knowing the effect of training at different times of the day is important for both the coach and the athlete. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different times of the day on throwing performance in darts, an indoor skill in which focus, attention, concentration are at the forefront and environmental factors are less effective than outdoor skill. Methods: In this study, 16 dart athletes (8 boys, 8 girls) with a sport age of 2 - 3 years and an age of 12 - 14 years, who did not have any health problems in Mardin province, participated voluntarily: 2 m and 2.37 m from two different distances at 8.00 and 17.00, 1 day apart. Before the dart throws, the Daily Rhythm Determination Scale for Children was administered to the participants. The center of the dartboard was placed at eye level for each subject. After the throws, the Perceived Difficulty Scale was applied. In the analysis examining the relationship between perceived degree of difficulty, morningness-eveningness and throwing, the subjects’ evening throwing scores and evening perceived degree of difficulty scores were examined; a negative and significant relationship was observed in the eveningist group (r = -1, P = 0.01). No significant relationship was observed in the morning group. Results: In the study, a statistically significant difference was found between the subjects’ morning and evening throws at 2 m and 2.37 cm. In both morning and evening groups, it was determined that the throwing performance increased in the evening measurements. Conclusions: As a result, this study concluded that there is an effect of time of day in dart sport and that dart throws made in the evening give better results than dart throws made in the morning. Based on these results, it is recommended that a program should be made by the coaches considering the school programs and daily routines to reduce the effect of time of day. It is thought that this study will be important for chronobiological researches to reveal the factors affecting performance as well as the effect of time of day in darts sport.

Published: December 2023

In the current era, the advent of digital media has significantly altered how individuals establish connections and seek sources of inspiration. Inside this context, a noteworthy avenue arises known as "Golden Inspirations," which harnesses the power of motivational videos to skillfully construct a framework of optimism and personal growth in the lives of older adults. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and psychological wellness, as well as the influence of motivational movies on these variables. This study was done on 82 senior citizens of the Al Azhar Garden Society. A survey was conducted through the life satisfaction scale and psychological well-being scale before and after the motivational video. The result for this study was a mean average of 21.40 before videos and 24.15 after videos for the life satisfaction scale. Similarly, the mean average was 0.84 before and 1.57 after the videos for psychological well-being. The determinants of life satisfaction among older individuals encompass various social, physical, mental, and financial dimensions. These factors are likely to interact with one another, particularly about experiences of loneliness, level of self-care ability, overall health status, feelings of distress, and inadequate financial resources relative to one's needs. To preserve the life pleasure of an individual, it is imperative to consider these many aspects.

Habituation into Virtue and the Alleged Paradox of Moral Education
Authors: Vigani Denise ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: December 2023

Some philosophers have argued that Aristotle’s view of habituation gives rise to a ‘paradox of moral education.’ The inculcation of habit, they contend, seems antithetical to the cultivation of virtue. I argue that this alleged paradox arises from significant misunderstandings of Aristotle’s view. Habit formation need not be at odds with the development of the kinds of intelligent, reflective capacities required for virtue. Indeed, Aristotle seems right to insist on an important role for habit in the cultivation of virtue. I suggest that habit formation is part of the story of how the virtuous come to see the world aright.
Using Neural Networks to Model Complex Mathematical Functions
Authors: Kouidere Abdelfatah , Damak Mondher
Published: December 2023

Accurately modeling highly complex and irregular mathematical functions like fractals, chaos, and turbulence poses longstanding challenges. Traditional physics-based approaches often fail due to analytic intractability and extreme sensitivity. In this work, we pioneer the usage of long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks for learning representations of such complex mathematical functions. We train custom-designed deep LSTM architectures on functions including the Lorenz attractor, Mandelbrot set, and Mackey-Glass delay differential equation. The networks achieve excellent quantitative performance across critical evaluation metrics like mean squared error and R-squared. Qualitative visualizations also demonstrate highly precise function replication and generalization. Comparisons to polynomial regression and multilayer perceptron baselines confirm the superiority of the LSTM modeling approach. Our results provide broader evidence for the potential of deep neural networks to emulate intricate mathematical functions, with transformative implications for overcoming modeling limitations across the sciences and engineering. We conclude by reflecting on current methodological limitations and identifying key open questions to guide future work at the intersection of mathematical modeling and machine learning.

Published: December 2023

In this paper a fuzzy inventory model for a single deteriorating itemwith two parameter weibulldistribution deterioration rate, ramp type demand and partial backordering at constant rate is developed. In the present market scenario due to inflation an increasing cost ofvarious factors affecting the total worth of inventory cost may increase ordering cycle length. Increase in the cost of components of inventory may not be pre-determined due to uncertainty of the market situation. Therefore, an interval based fuzzy concept has been considered to handle the situation of uncertainty. Orderingcost, holding costs in both ware-houses are assumed to be triangular fuzzy numbers. The objective of this paper is to derive an optimal replenishment policy with defuzzification of fuzzy numbers using signed distance method to minimize the average inventory cost. Further numerical examples are presented to illustrate the model. Initiallya crispmodel has been developed and then corressponding fuzzy model is derived separately and the results of twomodels are compared and analysed.

Machine learning applications in the pathology clinical domain are emerging rapidly. As decision support systems continue to mature, laboratories will increasingly need guidance to evaluate their performance in clinical practice. Currently there are no formal guidelines to assist pathology laboratories in verification and/or validation of such systems. These recommendations are being proposed for the evaluation of machine learning systems in the clinical practice of pathology.

Objective.—

To propose recommendations for performance evaluation of in vitro diagnostic tests on patient samples that incorporate machine learning as part of the preanalytical, analytical, or postanalytical phases of the laboratory workflow. Topics described include considerations for machine learning model evaluation including risk assessment, predeployment requirements, data sourcing and curation, verification and validation, change control management, human-computer interaction, practitioner training, and competency evaluation.

Data Sources.—

An expert panel performed a review of the literature, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidance, and laboratory and government regulatory frameworks.

Conclusions.—

Review of the literature and existing documents enabled the development of proposed recommendations. This white paper pertains to performance evaluation of machine learning systems intended to be implemented for clinical patient testing. Further studies with real-world clinical data are encouraged to support these proposed recommendations. Performance evaluation of machine learning models is critical to verification and/or validation of in vitro diagnostic tests using machine learning intended for clinical practice.

FINANCING SPORTS FROM THE BUDGET OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Authors: Dašić Boban
Published: December 2023

Sport as a free human activity focused on the development of psychophysical abilities is expressed through competition with others and the pursuit of achieving the best possible results. Sport is a category of great importance for the development and prosperity of the entire society. The level of sports involvement is the best indicator of a society's development. The economic and other benefits that sport brings to the state require the state itself to create favorable conditions for the development of sports and, of course, to support them financially. The state does this by allocating a certain amount from the budget intended for the financing of all aspects of sports and other related segments of sports. This paper specifically analyzes the funding of sports from the budget of the Republic of Serbia. In Serbia, sports are largely financed from the budget of the Republic of Serbia, although the responsibility for funding sports also lies with Autonomous Provinces and local selfgovernments. The goal of this paper is to emphasize the importance of funding sports from the budget of the Republic of Serbia, as well as to promote and seek additional non-budgetary sources of funding.

The Language of Oneiric Images in the Poetry of Leonid Dimov
Authors: Ciumasu Eugenia
Published: December 2023

Many either do not understand the nature of Dimov’s creation, or understand it superficially, not recognizing his originality and treating him as a controversial poet. However, everyone is fascinated by his poems and admires the creator, as the world of his poems is permeated by an abstract drawing, a telecollage with new playful conventions, transmuted from another reality. Neither the dream nor the reality is concrete, but abstract, made according to an enigmatic and tempting code. Dimov’s poetry is seductive, because a reader cannot resist a free creator. Oneirism binds its creator and lecturer through a heuristic promise. For Leonid Dimov, poetry is born from the conclusion of a pact between poetry and life, between poetry and the world. The poet destroys the pre-poetic world and builds a new, dreamlike world, living in it like a strange demon, and projecting his image as an artist in all kinds of allegorical representatives: the jester, the acrobat, the juggler, the jeweler, etc. Dimov approached the dream taken as an abstract model and not as a source of creation, following a neo-oneiric poetics. By creating dreams, the author encompasses the whole of existence, entering these invented, alien, even inhuman worlds.
The Architectural-Urbanistic Evolution of Cahul City from the 20th Century to the Beginning of the 21st Century
Authors: Slapac Mariana , Ceastina Alla
Published: December 2023

The 20th century meant for the city of Cahul the continuation of the urbanization process started in the 19th century. In the first two decades of that century, buildings intended for maritime transport, residential buildings, cultural institutions, edifices with an industrial profile, etc. appeared. During the interwar period, several factories and banks operated in the city, education was represented by two high schools, two gymnasiums and eight primary schools. Among the cultural institutions, there was a cinema, two dormitories of the “Prince Carol” Royal Foundation, the Cultural League, etc. Some buildings were of modernist or neoclassical inspiration, and others had qualities of constructivist architecture. After the Second World War, several architectural and urban planning works were undertaken in Cahul. In 1947, the plan sketch of the city was made (architect V. Smirnov). At the “Molghiprostroi” Institute in Chișinău, some series of urban planning documents were developed that determined the subsequent systematization of the city of Cahul. The architecture of the new buildings built during the Soviet period was tributary to socialist modernism. In 2012, the specialists of the “Urbanproiect” Institute completed the elaboration of the general urban plan of the city of Cahul (architects Iu. Povar, V. Bocacev). In recent years, interesting buildings with two or more levels have appeared in the city, both residential ones and those of public interest. Their architecture belongs to post-impressionism, minimalism, etc.

The Peak of Alexandru Marghiloman’s Political Career, for Half of a Year (March-November 1918), Prime Minister of Romania
Authors: Rotaru Jipa
Published: December 2023

Alexandru Marghiloman was one of the most brilliant politicians in our contemporary history. His exceptional qualities as well as a superlative training made him the most suitable man to fulfill a role of great importance in our history – the completion of national unity. Brought to the helm of the Council of Ministers, he had to face almost insurmountable hostilities from the representatives of the Central Powers, with whom he was for the entire period of almost half a year, while he was at the head of the government. Overcoming these difficulties, but also the disloyal attitude of the King who, after using him, at the suggestion of the Camarilla, asked and received his resignation at the exact moment when he was approaching the completion of national unity. The Marghiloman government (March – October 1918) was, therefore, a sacrificial government, which, thanks to the competence, tenacity, patience and insistence of the Prime Minister, managed through perseverance and wisdom to achieve what it set out to do when it was installed – saving the Dynasty, stability and the Army of the country.

The article addresses the fate of the deputies of the first Bassarabian legislative body – Sfatul Țării (the Council of Country) and of the members of the Government of the Moldavian Democratic Republic, who contributed to the creation of the unified Romanian State by voting on the Declaration of Unification of Bessarabia with Romania on 27 March 1918. Bessarabia and Bessarabians were among the first to declare their desire and will to reunite the territory of the Romanian nation. They were also among the first to suffer from the political changes and the territorial seizures in the late 1940s. Some of them had to leave forever their native land in order to ensure the safety of their families, and those, who for various reasons have remained, were accused by the organs of the communist totalitarian regime and condemned to various humiliating punishments, imprisoned in the worst jails, communist camps. The duty of the modern generation is to honor and commemorate the actions of our ancestors.
