Evaluating machine learning techniques for fluid mechanics: Comparative analysis of accuracy and computational efficiency
Authors: Koçak Eyup
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on applying machine learning (ML) techniques to fluid mechanics problems. Various ML techniques were used to create a series of case studies, where their accuracy and computational costs were compared, and behavior patterns in different problem types were analyzed. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of ML techniques in fluid mechanics and to contribute to the field by comparing them with traditional methods. Case studies were also conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and the results were compared with those from ML techniques in terms of accuracy and computational cost. For Case 1, after optimizing relevant parameters, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models all achieved an R² value above 0.9. However, in Case 2, only the ANN method surpassed this threshold, likely due to the limited data available. In Case 3, all models except for Linear Regression (LR) demonstrated predictive abilities above the 0.9 threshold after parameter optimization. The LR method was found to have low applicability to fluid mechanics problems, while SVM and ANN methods proved to be particularly effective tools after grid search optimization.

Context.—

Blasts in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) typically have a primitive myeloid immunophenotype (CD34+CD117+CD13+CD33+HLA-DR+). On rare occasions, blasts were found to be CD34 negative or minimally expressed in a presumptive MDS.

Objective.—

To investigate the occurrence of these cases, and to examine any unique molecular genetic features, and clinical relevance.

Design.—

Over 2000 flow cytometry immunophenotyping tests for MDS performed during a 5-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and overt acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (≥20% blasts) were excluded.

Results.—

Approximately 800 cases had abnormal myeloblasts consistent with myeloid neoplasms; 96% of cases showed a typical primitive phenotype, but 31 patients (4%) had unusual blasts that were either completely or partially negative for CD34. Of the latter, recurrent genetic abnormalities were identified in 13 (42%) including 10 with nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutation, 1 with lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) rearrangement, and 2 with t(3;5)(q25.3;q35.1)/NPM1::myeloid leukemia factor 1 (MLF1). These cases were classified as MDS prior to the 2022 classifications, but 9 of 13 (69%) and 7 of 13 (52%) cases would be reclassified as AML according to the 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification and the International Consensus Classification, respectively. Eight cases (26%) had multihit tumor protein p53 (TP53) mutation, and 6 of them were ultimately diagnosed as or quickly evolved to pure erythroid leukemia. Of the remaining 10 cases, 4 uncharacteristically had no detectable molecular genetic abnormalities.

Conclusions.—

Our data show that, if a presumptive MDS shows a nonprimitive blast phenotype, caution is needed to rule out AML with recurrent genetic abnormality with an oligoblastic presentation, high-risk myeloid neoplasms with double-hit TP53 mutation with abnormal erythroid proliferation, and MDS with molecular-genetic and clinical features more akin to AML.
Ahıska Türklerinin geri dönüş problemi ve Gürcistan’in Avrupa Konseyine taahhütleri
Authors: Ali Muhammet
Published: December 2024

Ahıska Türkleri 14-15 Kasım 1944 tarihinde beraberinde 7 farklı halk ile çeşitli sebepler gösterilerek sürgün edilmiştir. Bu bölgelerde “sonsuza kadar” yaşamak üzere yerleştirilmiş ve sıkıyönetim şartlarında yaşama mahkûm edilmiştir. 1956 yılında Nikita Kruşçev’in Sovyetler Birliği devlet başkanı olmasıyla, Ahıska Türklerine sürgün edilen diğer halklara tanınan kendi yurtlarına dönüş hakkı tanınmamış, yalnızca özel yerleşim kısıtlamaları kaldırılmıştır. 1956 yılından itibaren farklı oluşumlarla defalarca dönüş talepleri bildirilse de Ahıska Türkleri vatanlarına geri dönememiştir. RSFSR tarafından 12 Nisan 1991 tarihinde çıkarılan kanunla sürgüne uğramış halklardan, Ahıska Türkleri de anavatanlarına geri dönüş ve sürgün yıllarındaki maddi kayıpların telafisi için rehabilite edilme hakkını kazanmış fakat Sovyetler Birliği’nin aynı yıl dağılmasıyla kanun uygulanamamıştır. Gürcistan 29 Nisan 1999 tarihinde Avrupa Konseyi’ne üye olmuştur. Gürcistan, Konsey’e giriş şartı olarak Ahıska Türklerinin geri dönüşlere izin veren hukuki çalışma yapacağını, toplum ile entegrasyonu konusunda kolaylık sağlayacağını ve bunun üzerine Ahıska Türklerinin Gürcistan vatandaşlığını elde etmesi konusunda hak tanıyacağını taahhüt etmiştir. Gürcistan parlamentosu 2007 yılında “Eski Sovyetler Birliği Tarafından 20. Yüzyılın 40’lı Yıllarında Gürcistan’dan Zorla Göçe Tabi Tutulan Şahısların Geri Dönüşü Hakkında Gürcistan Cumhuriyeti’nin Kanunu” adlı kanunu 1 Ocak 2008 tarihinde yürürlüğe girecek şekilde kabul etmiştir. Gürcistan’da birçok bakımdan büyük eksiklikler barındıran yasa yürürlüğe girmiş, uygulamada fazla sayıda aksama olmuş, yasa içerisinde sonradan çokça düzenleme yapılmıştır. Bu yasa içerisinde yapısal problemlerin varlığından dolayı geri dönüş yasası başarısız olmuş, Ahıska Türkleri Ahıska’ya geri dönememiştir. Çalışmada vaka çalışması yöntemi kullanılacak olup verilere ulaşılabildiğince birincil kaynaklardan yararlanılacaktır. Çalışmanın amacı Ahıska Türklerinin geçmişten günümüze kadar verdikleri mücadeleyi ve anavatanlarına dönüş için devletlerin verdikleri taahhütleri yerine getirmedeki yetersizliklerini analiz ederek ortaya koymaktır.

Published: December 2024

Enflasyon muhasebesi, yüksek enflasyonun finansal tablolar üzerindeki etkisini ortadan kaldırmak için kullanılan bir muhasebe yöntemidir. Enflasyonun olduğu bir ekonomide işletmelerin düzenledikleri finansal tablolarda yer alan veriler işletmenin gerçek durumunu yansıtmayacaktır. Finansal tabloların işletmenin gerçek durumunu yansıtabilmesi için bu tablolarda yer alan hesap kalemlerinde  bazı düzeltme işlemlerinin yapılması gerekmektedir. İşletmelerin düzenledikleri temel finansal tablolar olan bilanço ve gelir tablosundaki enflasyonun etkisini gidermeye yönelik olarak bu tablolarda yer alan hesap kalemlerinde sınıflandırma yapılarak bazı düzeltmeler yapılmıştır. Yapılan düzeltme işlemleri ile enflasyon muhasebesine göre düzenlenen finansal tablolarda yer alan veriler işletme hakkında daha doğru ve güvenilir veriler sunulacaktır. Türkiye’de enflasyon muhasebesi uygulanabilmesi Vergi Usul Kanunu’nda belirtilen şartlara bağlıdır.  Buna göre enflasyon muhasebesi uygulanabilmesi için; cari yıl Yİ-ÜFE’nin (Yurt İçi Üretici Fiyat Endeksi) %10’u aşması gerekmektedir. Ayrıca son üç hesap dönemindeki toplam ÜFE’nin de %100’ü aşması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada enflasyon kavramı ve enflasyon türleri genel olarak incelenmiş, enflasyon muhasebesinin finansal tablolar üzerindeki etkileri ve enflasyon muhasebesi yöntemlerine değinilmiş, enflasyonun finansal tablolar üzerindeki olası etkilerini gidermeye yönelik olarak Türkiye Muhasebe Standartları ve vergi mevzuatındaki düzenlemeler ele alınarak değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of integrating visual media into Discovery Learning to enhance students’ comprehension in Islamic Religious Education at the senior high school level. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, the research involved two groups of students: an experimental group that received instruction incorporating visual media within a Discovery Learning framework, and a control group that followed conventional Islamic Religious Education instruction. Data was collected through pre-tests and post-tests to assess the impact on students’ understanding of the subject matter. The results indicate a significant improvement in comprehension among students in the experimental group, highlighting the value of visual aids in fostering deeper engagement and learning retention within Discovery Learning contexts. By making abstract religious concepts more accessible and engaging, visual media helped students connect religious teachings to real-life scenarios, enhancing both their academic understanding and ethical reflection. The novelty of this study lies in the combined application of visual media and Discovery Learning within the context of Islamic Religious Education, addressing a gap in existing research on modern instructional methods in religious education. The findings contribute to educational practices by providing a structured model for integrating visual media in Islamic Religious Education, offering a practical framework for educators to enhance student comprehension and moral engagement. This approach not only supports cognitive learning but also encourages students to reflect on and internalize religious values, promoting a more holistic educational experience.

Geniş Avrasya’nın merkezinde yer alan Uygur bölgesi uzun tarihi, köklü medeniyeti, zengin yer altı ve yer üstü kaynakları açısından önem arz eder. Ayrıca bölge önemli sanayi merkezi ve sahip olduğu kritik jeopolitik konumuyla da dikkat çeker. Çin 1949 yılın son çeyreğinde bölgeyi işgal ettikten sonra Doğu Türkistan’ın ekonomik kaynaklarını sömürmekle kalmamış aynı anda bölgeye ve bölge halkına yönelik asimile ve baskı politikası uygulamayı sürdürmüştür. Özellikle 21.yüzyılda ekonomik, ticari, askeri ve teknolojik açıdan hızla yükselen Çin, sahip olduğu devlet imkânlarıyla bölgeye ve bölge halkına yönelik adeta soykırım uygulamıştır. Yüksek teknolojilerin yardımıyla bölgeyi sıkı denetim altına almış, milyonlarca Uygur, Kazak, Kırgız ve Özbek başta olmak üzere Türk ve Müslümanları toplama kampları, zorla çalıştırma kampları ve hapishanelere sevk etmiştir. Buralarda Çin beyin yıkama ve benliksizleştirme girişimleriyle yetinmeyip tutukluların emeklerini sömürmeye ve ekonomik kazanç elde etmeye devam etmiştir. Ucuz emek gücü olarak çalıştırılan modern köle işçi durumundaki Türk ve Müslümanlar sadece Çin destekli ulusal şirketler tarafından değil Çin’in çeşitli bölgelerindeki işletmelerce de pazarlanmıştır. Ayrıca uluslararası şirketler de insan hak ve hukukları yerine ekonomik çıkarları tercih ederek Çin’in insanlık dışı uygulamalarına ortak olmuş ve böylece Uygur zorla çalıştırma küresel üretim zincirinin de bir parçasına dönüşmüştür.

Protukomunistički otpor u Hercegovini
Authors: Matković Blanka
Published: December 2024

Završetkom Drugoga svjetskog rata i uspostavom komunističke vlasti započelo je novo razdoblje suvremene hrvatske povijesti koje će biti obilježeno različitim oblicima represije, naročito prema onima koje je tadaš- nji komunistički režim doživljavao kao svoje neprijatelje. Među njima nisu bili samo oni koji su pružali vojni otpor novom režimu nego i njihovi pomagači, tzv. jataci. Unatoč tome, križarski pokret otpora preživjet će sve do početka 1950-ih godina, a aktivnosti križarskih skupina u tom će razdoblju zbog konfiguracije terena i demografskih obilježja naročito biti intenzivne na dalmatinskom i hercegovačkom prostoru. Utjecaj križarskih skupina posebno će biti snažan na prostoru Širokog Brijega o čemu svjedoče sačuvani dokumenti Komunističke partije Jugoslavije. Iako se počeci hrvatskog poslijeratnog protukomunističkog otpora u Hercegovini vezuju uz djelovanje Stjepana Sičaje Gegana na prostoru Rame, odnosno planine Vran, njegovom pogibijom težište će se djelovanja križara u Hercegovini prebaciti na širokobriješki teren gdje će zapovjedništvo nad križarima preuzeti Božo Mandić. Upravo je pod njegovim zapovjedništvom krajem lipnja 1946. osnovan Prvi hercegovački ustaški križarski zdrug. No, već u rujnu iste godine jugoslavenski će represivni organi uspjeti likvidirati jednu grupu spomenutog Zdruga čime će nanijeti težak udarac širokobriješkim križarima. Stoga će oni jesen 1946. provesti uglavnom pripremajući zimnicu te će se do početka proljeća 1947. mahom zadržavati u blizini sela u kojima su mogli računati napotporu mještana. U međuvremenu je krajem siječnja 1947. ubijen BožoMandić. Početkom proljeća 1947. raštrkane preživjele križarske grupe sepod zapovjedništvom Benedikta „Benka“ Penavića počinju povezivati snamjerom uspostave novog Zdruga do čega je i došlo tijekom ljeta 1947.godine. No, širokobriješki križari su te trenutke dočekali malobrojni te suse zbog represije nad lokalnim stanovništvom teže opskrbljivali hranomi drugim potrepštinama. Oslanjajući se na dostupnu dokumentaciju u hrvatskim arhivima, rad se fokusira upravo na razdoblje od kraja 1946. dopogibije Benka Penavića krajem 1947. godine.
Croatian World War I Memorials Abroad
Authors: Tominac Nikola , Rajković Valentino
Published: December 2024

Due to complex historical circumstances, the monumental heritage of the World War I abroad had not been researched at all until ten years ago. There were both subjective and objective reasons for this: firstly, there was a lack of interest for approaching this very complex issue due to the dynamic events of the twentieth century and due to the political positions in the emerging countries after the end of World War I. Secondly, there was a lack of primary sources in Croatia, especially those of German provenance. Thanks to the passing of time, the arrival of the digital age and the opening of previously difficult-to-access archives, it is finally easier to find certain data, especially after the change of climate regarding this issue in the countries of their origin. Marking the 100th anniversary of the World War I, during the past fifteen years, Croatian scientists and volunteers began the painstaking work of researching and marking individual resting places of Croatian soldiers who took part in the very dynamic events of the twentieth century - the “century of extremes”. This contribution will concentrate on the explored localities as well as potential ones that need to be explored in the future, especially those localities where Croatian forces had great losses, which is why there is a possibility that there are still certain remains of military cemeteries there.
Possibilities for integrating the teaching of nature and society and English language teaching through content on natural phenomena
Authors: Petrić Jelena
Published: December 2024

Innovative teaching models, including integrated learning, have emerged to address the shortcomings of traditional education, which stem from the compartmentalization of subjects. Integrated learning involves blurring or partially obscuring the boundaries between different subjects or disciplines by establishing meaningful connections among similar aspects of different disciplines. The aim of this research was to determine the existence of similar or identical educational content on natural phenomena in the curricula for the subjects World Around Us/ Nature and Society and English language, and explore possibilities for their integration. The research employed theoretical analysis as the method and content analysis as the technique. The sample included curricula for the first four grades of primary school, specifically their segments related to the aforementioned subjects. Through analysis, it was found that these curricula contain similar or identical content on natural phenomena, but they are not fully aligned within individual grades.
CFRP: Breakthroigh material in Vietnam’s construction industry
Authors: Thi Ha Duong , Ky Vu Hoa , Cuong Trinh Van
Published: December 2024

As Vietnam’s construction industry accelerates modernization, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) emerges as a pivotal material for sustainable, high-performance infrastructure. With its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly durable nature, CFRP enhances structural longevity, minimizes maintenance, and reduces environmental impact, aligning with global sustainability goals. Widely applied in bridges, high-rise buildings, and coastal structures, CFRP addresses Vietnam’s unique environmental challenges, providing resilience against humidity, chemical exposure, and seismic activity. However, high costs and limited expertise in CFRP application remain obstacles. Strategic investment in cost-reducing technologies and workforce training is crucial for widespread adoption. As CFRP’s benefits become increasingly recognized, Vietnam’s construction sector has the opportunity to lead in sustainable infrastructure, creating lasting, eco-friendly solutions that reflect the country’s commitment to both innovation and environmental responsibility.
Public Sector Investment and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria: Evidence From 1981- 2022
Authors: Akpan Ofonime
Published: December 2024

Public sector investment in any economy is often shown in the level of government spending, which is revealed in the welfare level of her populace as part of her fiscal obligation. This study examines the effect of government expenditure and poverty reduction in Nigeria using secondary data sourced from the publication of the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and World Development Indicators from 1981 to 2022. The study employed the Auto-regressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) to achieve its objectives. The results of the findings revealed that government spending in building and construction, health have a positive and significant effect on per capita income used as a proxy for welfare of Nigeria’s populace. While government investment in education has a negative and insignificant effect on per capita income in Nigeria. Moreover, interest rate and inflation rate as contributory variables have a positive effect on per capita income in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that government should prioritize investment in infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, energy facilities, and public transportation systems.

Authors: Tantiado Rey
Published: December 2024

This study was conducted to isolate, screen, characterize, and identify amylaseproducing fungi from selected rice mills in Iloilo for the degradation of starch. Amylases are classes of enzymes which have useful applications in various commercial industries with the prospering industry in Iloilo City. There were three rice mill sampling sites considered in this study. Serial dilution and spread plate method were used to isolate and characterize soil fungi from the three rice mills. A total of seven amylolytic soil fungi were isolated and identified as degraders of starch. Iodine’s test after seventy-two hours of incubation was used to screen the amylolytic activity among the isolates. The range of starch degradation was described from slightly effective to very effective results. Slide culture technique was then, used for characterization and identification of active isolates, and were identified under the genera of Aspergillus, Penecillum and Alternaria species. Based on the result of the study, solate 7, Penicillium spp. had the highest zone of amylolytic activity while isolate 3, Aspergillus spp. had the lowest zone of amylolytic activity. There was also a significant difference on the zone of amylolytic activity that existed among the fungi isolates after 72 hours of incubation using Iodine test.

Труды армянских педагогов-ученых и историков советского периода занимают важное место в истории армянской педагогики. В 1950-х гг. были опубликованы работы, посвященные истории восточно-армянской школы. Опираясь на марксистско-ленинскую методологию, принятую в советской педагогике, и исходя из задач коммунистической идеологии, эти работы односторонне освещали историю восточноармянской школы первого двадцатилетия XX века. Её представляли как отсталую и не способствующую повышению образовательного уровня народа, с целью подчеркнуть, что процветание армянской школьной системы стало возможным исключительно благодаря созданию советской образовательной модели
The works of Armenian pedagogues-scientists and historians of the Soviet period occupy an important place in the history of Armenian pedagogy. The works dedicated to the history of the Eastern Armenian school were published in the 1950s. Guided by the Marxist-Leninist methodology adopted by Soviet pedagogy and the problems of communist ideology, these works unilaterally covered the history of the Eastern Armenian School in the first twenty years of the 20th century presenting it as retrograde step that did not contribute to the improvement of the educational level of the people. Their purpose was to show that the Armenian school system prospered only thanks to the establishment of the Soviet system.
“O Famatina não deve ser tocado.” Processos de luta e resistência em torno da exploração do Cerro Famatina, La Rioja, Argentina
Authors: Mastrángelo Mariana
Published: December 2024

Nesta pesquisa, propomos analisar o processo de organização, resistência e luta que vem se desenvolvendo nas últimas décadas em Famatina, província de La Rioja, em resposta à instalação da megamineração metalífera. Fazemos isso a partir de uma perspectiva do Sul Global, o que implica reconhecer, de um ponto de vista crítico, como novas experiências sociais surgem diante do avanço do que David Harvey denominou, nessa etapa do capitalismo, acumulação por desapropriação (Harvey, 2005). Perguntamo-nos por que um grupo de vizinhos dessa região se dispõe a lutar por seus recursos naturais e, sobretudo, pelos bens comuns que compartilham. O principal motivo que une essas pessoas é a defesa do território, da natureza e, sobretudo, o sentimento de pertencimento ao Cerro. Dali surgiram os slogans que dominaram a luta: “O Famatina não deve ser tocado” e “A água vale mais que o ouro”, que persistem até hoje como gritos de resistência. Este artigo faz parte do projeto de pesquisa Ficyt-Undec 2022, intitulado “Representações sociais do Cerro Famatina e conflitos de proximidade. Resistências e (re)existências territoriais em Chilecito e Famatina hoje”, onde um grupo de pesquisadores e estudantes da Universidad Nacional de Chilecito (Universidade Nacional de Chilecito) realiza entrevistas semiestruturadas e histórias de vida para aprofundar as memórias de luta e resistência aos projetos extrativistas em Famatina, La Rioja.
Nuestra Orilla podcast: Desafiando la historia como proyecto de reparación en Colombia
Authors: Muñoz-Rojas Catalina
Published: December 2024

Este artículo desarrolla la propuesta epistemológica de Nuestra Orilla podcast, una serie sonora de ocho episodios resultado de un proceso de investigación participativa, realizado en una colaboración entre historiadores, comunicadores y dos líderes sociales afrocolombianos de la región del Bajo Atrato en el Pacífico colombiano. La serie, albergada también en una página web donde la historia se expande desde una curaduría de fuentes primarias y secundarias, cuenta la historia de la región colombiana del Bajo Atrato desde las perspectivas de sus habitantes y a través de la experiencia de vida de la narradora: Ana Luisa Ramírez. Este proyecto tuvo como objetivo producir una historia (entendida como método crítico de indagación y como género narrativo a la vez) de esta región del Pacífico colombiano que desafía los lugares, temporalidades y metodologías usadas para contar las historias de violencia en Colombia, con la esperanza de producir contra-historias que ayuden a reparar la manera como nos relacionamos con los demás y con el entorno.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a highly prevalent cause of vision loss worldwide. Detection of DR requires substantial human resources and high medical costs. Therefore, the use of diagnostic software has been recently explored. The study aimed to assess the results of DR diagnoses by Cybersight, an artificial intelligence software. A total of 1,012 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (1,943 eyes) with a mean age of 74.61 ± 6.73 years were included. Comprehensive demographic and clinical data were gathered, and all patients underwent color fundus photography following Cybersight's standardized protocols. The study compared Cybersight's accuracy with that of ophthalmologists in identifying key DR lesions, including retinal microvascular changes, exudates, hemorrhages, the diagnosis and staging of DR, using sensitivity, specificity, and weighted Kappa metrics. The prevalence of DR was 16.2%.  A high level of agreement was found between Cybersight and ophthalmologists in DR diagnosis, with a sensitivity of 85.0%, specificity of 95.8%, and a weighted Kappa of 0.78. The presence of cataracts and the degree of pupil dilation notably impacted on the accuracy of DR diagnosis. The results have important implications for the potential application of Cybersight as a low-cost and effective tool for diabetic eye screening.

The web-based application serves as a technology platform that enhances health literacy by providing diabetes-related content, activities, and quizzes. It boosts self-efficacy by enabling users to set health goals, promote self-care through practical activities, and use data collection and reminders to help regulate blood sugar and adopt healthy habits for elderly patients. This research study is experimental and includes a randomized controlled trial. The objectives of this study were to compare the effectiveness of using web-based applications in developing health literacy, self-efficacy, self-care behaviors, and blood sugar levels. The sample group consisted of 60 elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes and uncontrolled blood sugar levels, made up of 30 people in the experimental group and 30 people in the control group. In the experiment, the web-based application was utilized over a period of 12 weeks to carry out a health literacy assessment. Self-efficacy, self-care, and blood sugar levels (FBS and HbA1C) were assessed before the experiment (Week 0, T1), immediately after the experiment (Week 12, T2), and during the follow-up period (Week 24, T3). The data were analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA statistics. The results indicated that in T2 and T3, the experimental group achieved an average health literacy score, accompanied by an increase in self-efficacy, enhanced self-care, and a reduction in FBS and HbA1C that was greater than in T1, with statistical significance (p<.05). Moreover, the experimental group showed a greater increase in average health literacy scores, self-efficacy, and self-care compared to the control group, with fasting blood sugar (FBS) and HbA1C levels decreasing more significantly than in the control group, at a statistically significant level (p<.05). In conclusion, the web-based application was able to promote health literacy among patients as it improved self-efficacy, self-care behavior, and the ability to regulate glycemic control in T2 and T3.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the hydraulic response and stability of silty clays from the Garinono Formation during the rainy season, utilizing peak monthly rainfall data recorded over a decade by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Sabah. The research focuses on the impact of rainfall infiltration on slope stability under extreme hydrological conditions, modelled using a 31-day antecedent rainfall event from January 2011. The study incorporates both field and laboratory data, assessing the Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) and bulk density for three distinct soil samples: (i) MI (Intermediate Plasticity Silt), (ii) ML (Low Plasticity Silt), and (iii) CI (Intermediate Plasticity Clay). The SWCC and hydraulic properties were characterized using the Fredlund, & Xing (1994) model, with subsequent numerical simulations conducted using GEO-SLOPE International. Results indicated that sample (ii) ML exhibited increased cumulative water volume with rising rainfall intensity, influenced by its saturated and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, as well as the FX model's fitting parameter . The study revealed that high  ratios in samples (i) MI and (iii) CI led to greater runoff and reduced infiltration, characterized by lower water storage and higher discharge rates. Conversely, lower  ratios in sample (ii) ML facilitated infiltration, increasing water storage and reducing discharge rates. A notable decrease in matric suction was observed during rainfall, with sample (ii) ML showing the most significant reductions, leading to early and substantial decreases in the Factor of Safety (FS), indicating potential instability. In contrast, samples (i) MI and (iii) CI maintained higher stability due to negative Pore-Water Pressure (PWP) and minimal suction reductions. These findings underscore the critical influence of soil permeability on slope hydrological response and stability during intense rainfall events. This study contributes to the understanding of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the Garinono Formation, with implications for geotechnical design and slope stability analysis in tropical regions.
Data Diplomacy
Authors: Schmidt Dörte
Published: December 2024

Editor's note The following contribution originally results from an oral response to the presentations and discussions at the Access to Waxes conference in Berlin in December 2021. It is therefore, especially in comparison to the other articles within this issue, to be understood primarily as a kind of fundamental positioning and has been included here for that very reason. In it, the specific example of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv's holdings and their accessibility and digitization is taken as an opportunity to draw particular attention to the connection between technical infrastructures and science diplomacy. At the level of metadata and repositories, it cannot be a matter of constructing new, finally "valid" identities, claiming ownership, etcetera. The point, then, is to enable the negotiation of these issues through access to the sources. The question is who would create and moderate a space for such international negotiations. This could be done, for example, within the framework of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur/NFDI) and in exchange with UNESCO.
INVESTIGACIÓN EN PSICOANÁLISIS. UNA APUESTA CONJETURAL.
Authors: Miguelez Luis Vicente
Published: December 2024

La herramienta principal con la que contamos los analistas en nuestro trabajo, sea este clínico o de investigación sobre la cultura de nuestro tiempo presente y pasado, es el inconsciente. Es la dimensión inconsciente de la que se sustenta toda obra humana, la que le otorga a la misma su complejidad apasionante y enigmática. La investigación en psicoanálisis evita caer en la oposición clásica entre saber cognitivo y saber inconsciente y entre lo individual y lo social, su articulación constituye su apuesta teórica y práctica. Más que descubrir de lo que se trata, es de producir nuevas interpretaciones que tienen su punto de partida en la recuperación de lo reprimido o de lo excluido de los hechos culturales.
