Published: December 2024

The aim – to determine the frequency and characteristics of anxiety-depressive spectrum disorders (ADSD) in patients with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).

Material and methods. The study is prospective-retrospective. Data on obstetric pathology was obtained from medical documents and from conversation with a patient. Stress factors were assessed upon inclusion in the study. Diagnosis of ADSD was carried out by a psychiatrist, according to ICD-10. The study included 61 women with APS, established according to the international criteria of 2006, who had a history of pregnancy. 30 (49.2%) of 61 patients had pregnancy loss (PL). Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was diagnosed in 29 (47.5%) women. The average age of patients at the time of inclusion in the study was 40.9±11.0 years: 41.2±7.77 years in patients with PL and 40.7±12.8 years in patients without PL.

Results. ADSD were identified in the majority of women with APS – 53 (86.9%) out of 61. These mental disorders developed in the majority of patients before the onset of APS (37 (69.8%) out of 53). Moderate and severe depression in patients with PL was more related to stressful events not associated with APS (mainly with childhood and adolescent psychological trauma), and was also more often detected in the presence of PL after the week 10 of gestation and more than two PL. Childlessness as a stress factor at the time of the study was significant for 7 (38,9%) out of 18 patients with PL who did not have children. Almost half (14 (46.7%) out of 30) of patients with PL had more than two interrupted pregnancies (multiple PL). In the group of patients with multiple PLs, significantly more often than in patients with one or two PLs, a pronounced distortion of logical thinking was detected, while the frequency of organic-type thinking disorders associated with ischemic damage to the central nervous system within the framework of APS did not differ in patients in the compared groups.

Conclusion. The incidence of depression in women with APS did not depend on a history of PL. Multiple PLs predisposed to more severe types of depression. The psychopathological features of ADSD in patients with multiple PLs were determined – more frequent pronounced distortions of logical thinking. It has been established that childlessness is not a significant stress factor for all patients.

Published: December 2024

The aim – to study the association between serum uric acid (SUA) level, bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis (OP) in postmenopausal women.

Materials and methods. 394 postmenopausal women were examined (median age – 62 [56; 68] years). Examination and anthropometric measurements, a biochemical blood test, including level of SUA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbar spine (L1–L4), femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) were carried out.

Results. In women with OP, the level of SUA and the frequency of hyperuricemia were lower than in those without OP (p=0.005 and p=0.019, respectively). SUA was weakly positively correlated with BMD in L1–L4 (r=0.20; p<0.001), FN (r=0.12; p=0.021) and TH (r=0.17; p=0.001). A weak negative correlation was found between the level of SUA and the presence of OP (r=–0.13; p=0.008). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the independent factors associated with OP in postmenopausal women were age (odds ratio (OR) – 1.06 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.02–1.10); p=0.003) and body mass index (OR=0.83 (95% CI: 0.77–0.89); p<0.001). There was no significant relationship between the level of SUA and OP.

Conclusion. Thus, in postmenopausal women, the effect of SUA on the risk of OP was not revealed.

Published: December 2024

The aim of the study was to reveal the relationship between the activity of inflammation, the infectious component, platelet function and dyslipidemia, in the development of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Material and methods. Fifty women with SLE at the age of 52.0 [48.0–58.0] years and disease duration – 11.5 [6.0– 22.0] years were examined. The control group consisted of 21 healthy women. The concentration of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), IgG antibodies to Chlamydia pneumonia (at IgG CP), the level of Toll-like receptor (TLR2), platelet factor 4 (PF4) and antibodies to oxidized high-density lipoproteins (at oxLDL) were determined by enzyme immunoassay. Platelet aggregation indices, lipid spectrum, intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid arteries were investigated.

Results. A significant increase in IMT of the common carotid artery (1.00 [0.80–1.10] and 0.80 [0.70–0.90] mm, respectively; p<0.01) and TKIM of the carotid bifurcation (1.10 [1.00–1.20] and 0.80 [0.70–1.10] mm, respectively; p<0.01), increased hsCRP concentration (3.67 [2.17–5.92] and 0.74 [0.30–1.26] mg/L, respectively; p<0.01), IL-6 (1.72 [1.39–2.68] and 0.60 [0.22–0.75] pg/mL, respectively; p<0.01). Significant platelet activation was noted in SLE: significant increase in TF4 concentration (21.5 [19.80–23.28] and 18.30 [13.88–20.46] ng/mL, respectively; p<0.01), marked dyslipidemia, increased concentration of oxLDL (3.16 [1.45–4.60] and 1.39 [1.26–2.04] kp, respectively; p<0.01). At IgG CP concentration and TLR2 values in patients with SLE did not differ from controls.

Conclusion. In addition to traditional risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease, the association between SLE and subclinical atherosclerotic lesions of the vascular wall can be explained by additional risk factors – inflammation and autoimmune processes. The role of the infectious component is for further study.
Standardizing Open Table Formats for Big Data Analysis: Implications for Machine Learning and AI Applications
Authors:   USA, Muvva Sainath
Published: December 2024

The digital age has ushered in an era of unprecedented data proliferation, both in complexity and volume, challenging traditional data management
paradigms. To address these challenges, the big data ecosystem has witnessed the rise of innovative open table formats, with Apache Parquet, Apache
ORC, and Delta Lake at the forefront. These formats revolutionize data handling through advanced features like columnar storage, dynamic schema
evolution, and optimized retrieval mechanisms. This paper delves into the critical need for standardizing open table formats, with a particular focus on
their transformative potential in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) domains. We present a comprehensive comparative analysis,
dissecting the features, advantages, and limitations of widely adopted open table formats. Our investigation extends to how these formats enhance the
trifecta of data processing efficiency, model training effectiveness, and cross-tool data consistency in ML and AI ecosystems. The paper further explores
the pivotal role of standardization in fostering interoperability, scalability, and widespread adoption of big data systems. By examining the integration
capabilities across heterogeneous platforms, we highlight the far-reaching implications of standardized formats. This study aims to elucidate how the
standardization of open table formats can catalyze a paradigm shift in big data analysis methodologies. Ultimately, we posit that this standardization could
significantly accelerate innovation and enhance outcomes in the rapidly evolving landscapes of ML and AI.

Encapsulated mesenchymal tumours, or lipomas, can develop in any part of the body at any age. However, intra-abdominal lipomas are uncommon and
typically develop in children. Adult cases of intra abdominal lipomas are extremely rare. Most cases have no symptoms and are incidentally discovered.
Patients may occasionally exhibit nonspecific to severe symptoms due to complications. Here, we describe a case of an intra-abdominal lipoma in patient
of Breast Cancer post treatment which was in the lesser peritoneal sac measuring approximately 36x17x10cm that nearly occupied the upper half of the
abdominal cavity without any specific symptoms or source of origin This case highlights the importance of considering benign diagnoses, even in patients
with a history of cancer, and the role of imaging and biopsy in resolving a diagnostic dilemma when large intra-abdominal tumours occur in such patients.

Published: December 2024

Healthcare is confronted by enormous challenges such as financial
and demographic changes, exponential technological progress,
an increasing incidence of chronically ill patients with changing
needs for care.
To meet these challenges and the associated changing of social
needs and expectations, our healthcare is constantly evolving.
When there is an acceleration or fault line in the variable care
needs, it is insufficient to make adjustments only to the current
models but also there is a need for a fundamental reform. If
health care is to be affordable, high-quality and accessible in
the future too, then the use of scarce resources is crucial. This
research focuses on the hospital of the future and the future of
the hospital within a larger healthcare system and consists of two

Decision-Making in Agentic Frameworks for Large Language Model Applications
Authors:   Senior Solutions Architect Bellevue, WA, Akheel Syed Arham
Published: December 2024

Recent advances in agentic frameworks, powered by large language models (LLMs), have led to significant developments in decision-making systems
that integrate reasoning and acting. This paper provides a comparative analysis of various decision-making models within agentic frameworks, focusing
on reasoning strategies, memory augmentation, and situational awareness. Specifically, I analyze models such as ReAct, memory augmented systems
like JARVIS-1, and cognitive language architectures like CoALA. I demonstrate that incorporating memory and situational awareness significantly
enhances agentic capabilities in complex environments. My findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the comparative strengths and limitations
of these reasoning approaches, providing valuable insights for future autonomous agent design.
Review on Infectious Bursal Disease, Newcastle Disease, Marek’s Disease and Avian Pox
Authors:   Bahirdar Animal Health Investigation And Diagnostic Laboratory, P.O.Box 70, Bahirdar, Ethiopia, Ayana Eyachew
Published: December 2024

Viral diseases are posing a growing threat to the young poultry industry flourishing in the country. Infectious bursal disease, Newcastle disease, Marek’s
disease (MD), and Fowl pox are among the serious threats to poultry production. IBD is considered as AIDS of chicken since it severely affects the immune
system of chicken. NDV is a human pathogen and the most common sign of infection in humans is conjunctivitis. Marek’s disease (MD) is a lymphomatous
and neuropathic disease of domestic fowl. Avian pox is a viral disease of a wide range of both domestic and wild bird species. It is a slow-spreading and
characterized by the formation of proliferative lesions and scabs on the skin, and diphtheritic lesions in the upper parts of the digestive and respiratory tracts.
Many viral diseases of poultry can be diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs together with post mortem findings and histopathological changes. However,
confirmation of the involvement of specific viral pathogens requires specific laboratory procedures. There is no specific treatment for viral diseases of poultry.
However, antibiotics are sometimes given in viral disease outbreaks to prevent secondary infection with bacteria. The most practical way to control viral
diseases in poultry and prevent losses through effective biosecurity practices, timely vaccination and good hygiene accompanied by improved management
is therefore of the greatest importance at all times.

أثر الباب الحديثي في نقد الحديث والاحتجاج به عند المحدثين
Authors: Hamam Abdul Jawad
Published: December 2024

ينطلق هذا البحث من فرضية علمية تأسيسية، فحواها أن النظرة الكلية والتصور العام في كل علم هي التي تلعب دوراً محورياً في بناء مفردات هذا العلم ونظم فروعه وشعبه في إطار منهجي متكامل، وإن امتلاك هذه النظرة الكلية والتصور العام هو المحدد لإبداع العلماء وتجديدهم وعمق تأصُّلِهم في تخصصهم، ومدى توجيههم لدفة هذا العلم نحو الاتجاه البنائي والإبداعي الصحيح.
وتناول البحث هذه الفرضية في إطار علوم الحديث عموماً، وفي جانب النقد الحديثي والاحتجاج بالمرويات خصوصاً، حيث تتجلى اعتماد النظرة الكلية عند علماء الحديث من خلال إعمالهم لأثر الباب الموضوعي للحديث في نقده وترجيح ثبوته أو رده، كما تجلى ذلك في نهجهم في تصنيف كتب الحديث نهج الترتيب على الأبواب بحسب موضوع الحديث، ثم موازنة أي رواية أو حديث أو إسناد بما جاء في هذا الباب من أدلة ثابتة حديثية وغيرها، حتى تأصلت الأدلة والثوابت – تقريباً – في كل باب، وصار المحتكم إليها فيما يأتي من روايات أو اجتهادات.
وقد دار هذا البحث على محاور خمسة، الأول: حول مفهوم الباب الموضوعي والحديثي، ودراسة تأريخية للعمل به عند المحدثين تصنيفاً ومنهجية، والمحور الثاني: دراسة أثر التفرد في الأبواب الحديثية وضوابط قبوله أو رده، والمحور الثالث: دراسة علاقة الحديث الآحاد بالتفرد وصلته بالتبويب الموضوعي للأحاديث، والمحور الرابع: دراسة أثر الباب الموضوعي في الحكم على اختلافات الرواة والترجيح بينها، والمحور الخامس: دراسة أثر الباب الموضوعي في الحكم بنكارة المتن وعدم قبوله.
وقد انتهى البحث بخاتمة تضمنت خلاصة ما توصل إليه، ولا سيما لجهة صلة التبويب الموضوعي للحديث بنقد الحديث وإثبات صلة متينة وثيقة بينهما، وأنها تشكل جزءاً أساسياً من نظر الناقد في حكمه على الحديث. وكذلك ترسخ التقسيم الموضوعي للحديث وأثر ذلك في حكمهم على الرواة ودرجات أحاديثهم. والتنبيه على أن عدم مراعاة موضوع الحديث في مراتب الرواة ومروياتهم أوقع المتأخرين في أخطاء منهجية، خالفوا فيها نقاد الحديث الجهابذة والفقهاء الراسخين. وضرورة لحظ التبويب الدقيق للمحدثين في تصنيفاتهم الحديثية، ولا سيما أصحاب الكتب الستة، إذ التبويب لديهم هو فقه الحديث وبيان معناه الصحيح، وبتر الحديث من بابه وعدم اعتباره قد يوقع في إشكالات وتخبطات علمية. وأخيراً فقد توضح من خلال البحث أن قمة النضج في التصنيف الحديثي وأبدعه ظهر في تبويب الصحاح للحديث، وإمامهم في هذا البخاري وما أبدعه في ترتيب صحيحه وتبويبه، وما أضفاه من استنباطات دقيقة وعميقة من خلال تراجم الأبواب.

The “Winged Woman of Burgaz”: A New Archaic Sculpture from the Territory of Knidos
Authors: Zoroğlu Candemir , Doksanaltı Ertekin Mustafa , Tozluca Derviş Ozan
Published: December 2024

A statue was found in 2019 in the sea about 30 m off the coast of the ruins of the ancient city of Burgaz in the Datça District of Muğla Province. Because of its findspot, the statue was named the “Winged Woman” of Burgaz and is currently preserved in the Marmaris Museum. Burgaz was in the territory of Knidos so for this reason the statue is evaluated within the Knidos settlement and culture domain. The naming, iconography, and dating of the statue, which is unrelated to any structure or context, are evaluated through similar statues, reliefs, and vase paintings in Anatolia, the Aegean Islands, and continental Greece. In accordance with its stylistic features, the school to which the statue belongs or the place where it was produced are determined. In our study, suggestions are made about the structure, context, and function of this “Winged Woman.” According to the collected data, the “Winged Woman” of Burgaz is dated to the middle of the sixth century BC and probably belongs to a monument from the Emecik Apollon Sanctuary.
However, its exact provenance and function are unknown.
New Funerary Monuments from Aizanoi
Authors: Özlem Aytaçlar Pınar
Published: December 2024

This article analyses 33 grave inscriptions found during the 2021 and 2022 excavation seasons in the ancient city of Aizanoi. Most of the monuments presented here are doorstones and separate gables, along with a few bomoi, stelae, and a marble block, all dating back to the Roman Imperial period.These inscriptions are particularly noteworthy for the personal names they contain. When it comes to the second century AD, the citizens of Aizanoi were Hellenized to a large extent. The onomastic data that we get from the funerary inscriptions of the city confirm this too. Most of the inscriptions presented here include
Greek names scarcely found in upland inner Anatolia. Masculine names like Thelymithres, Melankomas, Philostratos, or Aischines took the place of indigenous names. The indigenous names of daughters and wives like Tatiane, Aphia, Apphias, Appes, Ammia, or Babeis show that most of these men with Greek names were not Greek ethnically but Hellenized locals. Similarly, as a part of the fashion of the period, Homeric names like Menelaos and Troilos, and the names of the heroic, glorious Greek past like Solon and Alexandros are frequently attested in the inscriptions.

Conceptualizing the Risk Disclosure Relationship to Ownership Structure and Board Characteristics with Competitive Position and Audit Quality as Interaction Effects
Authors: Setyawan Hendri , Zakaria Nor Balkish , Ason Yvonne Joseph
Published: December 2024

This study conceptualizes the relationship between ownership structure, board characteristics, and risk disclosure, with competitive position and audit quality as moderating factors. Focusing on emerging ASEAN markets, the paper synthesizes theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence from Malaysia’s plantation sector, Indonesia’s banking sector, and Vietnam’s manufacturing industry to explore how governance attributes influence risk reporting practices. The findings highlight that ownership concentration and weak governance structures limit voluntary disclosures, whereas independent boards, institutional ownership, and high audit quality enhance transparency and reliability. Competitive pressures are shown to restrict disclosures in highly competitive industries, although robust governance and audit mechanisms mitigate these effects. The study contributes to corporate governance and risk disclosure literature by presenting a thematic analysis of these factors and provides practical insights for policymakers, regulators, and corporate stakeholders. This framework aims to advance theoretical understanding and inform strategies for improving transparency in emerging markets.
Relationship of Gadget and Socioemotional Development in Children

Published: December 2024

The presence of gadgets in children’s environment has made them an inevitable and increasingly normative component of 21st-century life. Over the last three decades, the accessibility and usage of gadgets have increased among young children. One of the effects of gadget usage on children is self-isolating from social life and lack of emotional management. The objective of the pilot study was to examine the frequency of gadget use among pre-schoolers. Forty parents of preschoolers, aged 4 to 6 years, participated in the study. Twenty-two of the children were boys and 18 were girls. Majority of the sample were Malays. This study employed the Family Media Ecology model to understand the way in which media is used by the family members and to determine the extent to which media patterns either promote or interfere with early learning. The parents were administered the Malay version of the Developmental Profile 3 (DP-3) to measure a child’s development on social-emotional. Results showed that most families owned a smartphone (95%), paid TV/ASTRO (72.5%), and had a laptop/desktop (70%). The duration of gadget use among children was much lower during the school day than during the school holiday. Specifically, during school days, 70% and 17.5% of the children used gadgets at a moderate and high level, respectively. During school holidays, 32.5% and 57.5% of the children used gadgets at a moderate and high level, respectively. The analyses revealed there are negative relationships between both gadgets use during school days (r=-.232, p>.05) and school holidays (r=-.112, p>.05) and the socioemotional development of children, which however, is not significant. The findings have important implication that is to take necessary steps toward regulating gadget use among children in Malaysia.

Book Review “Rejuvenation and Longevity. Introduction to Rejuvenology” by Khachik K. Muradian and Vadim E. Fraifeld
Authors: Tolstun Denis
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The monograph Rejuvenation and Longevity, written by doctors Khachik Muradian and Vadim Fraifeld, represents an important contribution to the development of gerontology, challenging established scientific concepts of ageing and rejuvenation. The authors put forward ideas that can form the basis of a new field of knowledge - rejuvenology, which studies the processes of rejuvenation and life extension. The work discusses theoretical and experimental approaches to rejuvenation, from the evolutionary aspects of life to the biological mechanisms of ageing and immortality. The authors analyse the relationship between ageing and rejuvenation at the cellular and molecular levels, identifying key mechanisms that can be used to slow down ageing and stimulate tissue regeneration. Particular attention is paid to studying immortal microorganisms and their potential use in creating long-lived multicellular organisms. The book is not only a scientific study, but also a challenge to the modern scientific community, proposing to look at ageing as an irreversible catastrophe that can be fought, and to consider rejuvenation as a scientifically proven process.

Authors: Derse Onur
Published: December 2024

Studies on smart cities are increasing rapidly today. Smart cities are structures that offer solutions to urban challenges with technological, sustainable, economic, and social approaches and focus on creating a more livable environment. In this study, first of all, the main components of smart cities were examined, and then these main components were evaluated. Smart Governance, Smart Transportation and Mobility, Smart People, Smart Economy, Smart Energy, Smart Environment, and Smart Life are discussed as the main components of smart cities. The main determinants discussed aim to reveal the relationship of the components that affect and are affected by each other, and to reveal the degree of importance of each component. In the study, the Fuzzy DEMATEL method is used, considering the existence of uncertain and fuzzy situations for the components discussed. The effect graphs of the determinants examined by the fuzzy DEMATEL method were obtained and the factors for the development of smart cities were evaluated. When examined as a result of the study, it is obtained that the Smart Life, Smart Energy, Smart Economy, and Smart Governance criteria are in the group of influencing factors, and the Smart Environment, Smart Transportation and Mobility, and Smart People criteria are in the affected group. When the importance levels are examined, the criteria from high to low are listed as Smart Governance, Smart Life, Smart Energy, Smart People, Smart Economy, Smart Environment, and Smart Transportation and Mobility.

Authors: Eser Emrah , Doğan Zafer
Published: December 2024

Induction motors are the most commonly used electric motors in the industry. The main reasons for choosing induction motors are their robust structure and low maintenance requirements. However, the harsh working conditions of the industry cause motor faults. Predicting motor faults in advance or determining the cause of fault is very important for businesses. In this study, an attempt was made to detect the eccentricity fault of the induction motor with a cheap and easy method. The eccentricity fault, which is a mechanical fault and is frequently encountered, was tried to be determined by monitoring the motor current signals. The motor current signals were analyzed with the statistical process control method from statistical methods. For the first time, with this study, the eccentricity fault occurring in an induction motor operating under different speed conditions was successfully detected with the statistical process control method.

Published: December 2024

In this study, the flexural behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (GFR-PP) composites was systematically investigated under three-point bending conditions to evaluate the impact of key production parameters. Composite plates with a thickness of 4 mm were fabricated using a stepped mold under varying pressure levels (10, 20, and 30 bar) and durations under pressure (5, 10, and 20 minutes). The specimens were prepared according to ASTM standards to ensure consistency and reliability. The primary objective of this study was to understand how production parameters influence the mechanical properties of GFR-PP composites. The results indicated that the combination of low pressure (10 bar) and longer durations (20 minutes) led to superior flexural strength and enhanced fiber-matrix adhesion due to optimized consolidation, with a maximum flexural strength exceeding 500 MPa. In contrast, higher pressure levels (30 bar) resulted in fiber deformation and reduced mechanical performance. This work provides critical insights into the optimization of production parameters to achieve high-performance GFR-PP composites, with potential applications in aerospace and other lightweight structural components requiring high mechanical strength and durability.
Construction and Reification of Identities: A Re-reading of Midnight's Children Using the Theoretical Framework of Disability Studies
Authors: MD Georgekutty
Published: December 2024

In Salaman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children (Rushdie, 1981), the complex theme of identity is explored through a postcolonial lens, revealing how societal perceptions shape individual identities. Specifically, the novel portrays the disabled identity through its protagonist, Saleem Sinai, who has physical differences that significantly impact his sense of self. This research article conducts a close reading and critical analysis of the text to understand how disabled identities are constructed and reinforced in society, influencing public opinion, attitudes, and behaviors towards individuals with differences. Furthermore, the article examines the problematic representation of diverse identities in both the novel and society, highlighting the need for a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of identity.

XIX. YÜZYILIN SONU İLE XX. YÜZYILIN BAŞLARINDA RUSYA’NIN TÜRK DÜNYASI ÜZERİNDEKİ DİL ASİMİLASYONU SÜRECİ VE SONUÇLARI
Authors: Türkmen İlker
Published: December 2024

Yüzyıllar boyunca Türklerle meskûn olan Türkistan’ın XIX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren Rusya tarafından işgal edilmesi, çeşitli sebeplere bağlıdır. Bu işgal sürecinden sonra Türkistan’ın asimilasyon politikaları ile Ruslaştırılması ve Ortodokslaştırılması gündeme gelmiştir. Buna karşılık Türkistanlıların askeri anlamda Ruslara karşı mukavemet gösterebilecek bir gücü bulunmuyordu. Çünkü Türkistan’da yüzyıllardır eğitim konusunda geri kalmışlık hâkim durumdaydı. Rusya Türkistanlıları yerli Rus okullarına gitmeye zorlamıştır. Bu okullarda verilen Rusça eğitim gelecek nesillerin Türkçe ile olan bağlantısının kopmasına sebep olmuştur. Ruslar yerel yayınlar ile kendi propagandasını yapmış, Rusya’nın medeniyet taşıyıcısı olduğu yönündeki söylemlerle istilasını meşrulaştırmak istemiştir. Rusya’nın bu çabası o dönemde çıkarılan yerel Rus basınında açıkça görülmektedir. Rusya karşısında direnmenin fayda etmeyeceğini düşünen bazı Türk aydınları da bu yayınlarda halka seslenmiş ve Rusçanın öğrenilmesi gerektiğini yazmıştır. Bu yazılar halk nezdinde itibar görmemiştir. Türk dili etrafında birleşmek isteyen halk Rus okullarına gitmeme konusunda bir hayli direnmiştir. Cedit okullarına giden öğrencilerin modern bilimler ile tanışması ve aydınlanmasıyla başlayan özgürlükçü düşünce Rusya için tehdit olarak görülmüştür. Yurt dışına öğrenci göndermek isteyenler engellenmiş, Türkistan izole bir bölge haline getirilmiştir. Rusçanın resmi dil olması halkı zor durumda bıraktığından, Türkistanlılar tarafından zorunlu bir şekilde öğrenilmesi gerekmiştir. XX. yüzyıl boyunca yetişen nesiller Rusça öğrenmiş kendi dillerinin yerine Rusçayı tercih edebilecek kadar bu dile aşina olmuşlardır. Günümüzde Türkistanlı gençlerin kendi aralarında öz dilini değil de Rusçayı konuşuyor olmalarının sebepleri incelenmesi gereken bir konudur. Yüz elli yıllık politikanın sonucunda Rusya dil asimilasyonunda başarılı olmuş mudur? Yoksa Türkistanlılar Batı dili diye mi Rusçayı tercih etmektedir? Bu çalışmada raporlar, hatıratlar, dergiler, gazeteler ve telif tetkik eserlerin ışığında Rusya’nın Türk dünyası üzerinde uyguladığı dil asimilasyonu süreci incelenmiş ve sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir.

В работе проведен гармонический анализ недельных рядов положения геоцентра, полученных в результате обработ- ки DORIS измерений формата RINEX. Гармонический анализ недельных колебаний рядов геоцентра для объеди- ненных решений, включающих шесть спутниковых миссий (спутники Cryosat2, Jason3, Saral, Sentinel3a, Sentinel3b, Sentinel6a) проводился на интервале 2022.0–2024.5 гг. Спектральный анализ осцилляций геоцентра выполнен с помо- щью программного пакета, написанного автором статьи. В результате линейного регрессионного анализа оценивались смещение, тренд, амплитуды и фазы годовых и полугодовых гармоник положения геоцентра, которые присутству- ют в объединенных спутниковых решениях. Оцененные амплитуды годовых компонентов положения геоцентра для объединенного решения имеют значения 2.8 мм, 3.6 мм и 7.2 мм для компонентов X, Y и Z, соответственно. Ам- плитуды полугодовых гармоник объединенного решения равны 1.6 мм, 4.4 мм и 2.6 мм для X, Y и Z компонентов, соответственно.

The paper presents a harmonic analysis of weekly series of geocenter position obtained by processing of DORIS RINEX measurements. A harmonic analysis of weekly oscillations of the geocenter series was performed for a combined solutions including six satellite missions (Cryosat2, Jason3, Saral, Sentinel3a, Sentinel3b and Sentinel6a satellites) over the interval of 2022.0–2024.5. The harmonic analysis of geocenter oscillations was carried out using a software package written by the author of the paper. As a result of the linear regression analysis, the offset, trend, amplitudes and phases of the annual and semi-annual harmonics of the geocenter position, which are present in a combined solutions, were estimated. The estimated amplitudes of the annual components of the geocenter position for the combined solution have values of 2.8 mm, 3.6 mm and 7.2 mm for the components X, Y and Z, respectively. The amplitudes of the semi-annual harmonics of the combined solution are 1.6 mm, 4.4 mm and 2.6 mm for the X, Y and Z components, respectively.
Уникальный метеоритообразующий рой внутри орбиты Земли
Authors: Терентьева А.К. , Леонов В.А.
Published: December 2024

Выявлен уникальный болидный рой π-Леонид с орбитой, находящейся целиком внутри орбиты Земли. Он имеет астероидное происхождение и, по всей видимости, обладает начальной (доатмосферной) массой более 4 тонн. Кроме того, среди астероидов NEO (околоземные объекты) найдено четыре астероида группы Атона с орбитами, также расположенными внутри орбиты Земли, составляющих единую астероидную ассоциацию, связанную с болидным роем π-Леонид. Изучение полученных орбитальных характеристик позволяет с достаточной степенью вероятности заключить, что все эти тела представляют собой группу связанных между собой объектов. Это, в свою очередь, приводит к выводу, что метеоритообразующие рои или отдельные метеоритообразующие тела могут быть результатом дробления этих близких к Земле астероидов или иметь с ними общее происхождение.

A unique π-Leonid bolide swarm with an orbit located entirely inside the Earth’s orbit has been identified. It has an asteroid origin and, most likely, has an initial (pre-atmospheric) mass in excess of 4 tons. In addition, among the NEA asteroids (near-Earth objects), 4 asteroids of the Aton group were found with orbits also located inside the Earth’s orbit, and forming a single asteroid association related to the π-Leonid bolide swarm. The study of the obtained orbital characteristics allows us to conclude with a sufficient degree of probability that all these bodies represent a group of probably interconnected objects. This, in turn, leads to the conclusion that meteorite-forming swarms or individual meteorite-forming bodies may be the result of fragmentation of these asteroids nearby to Earth or may have a common origin with them.
