Beslenme insanoğlunun en temel ihtiyacıdır ve insanlığın eski çağlarda nasıl beslendiği sıklıkla merak konusu olmaktadır. Antik Roma yemek kültürü hakkındaki bilgiler kazılarda bulunan seramik kaplar, diğer pişirme kapları, yemek artıkları, mozaikler, kabartmalar, kapların içindeki kömürleşmiş yemek artıkları ve yazılı kaynaklardan elde edilmektedir. Buluntularda elde edilen hayvan kemikleri ve tohumlar da antik dönem beslenme kültürüne dair bilgi vermektedir. Antik dönemin yemek kültürü açısından kurucu özelliği de dikkate alındığında, yemek kültürünün devamlılığı ve bilinirliği bakımından bu döneme ait yapılan çalışmaların önemli olduğu değerlendirilmektedir. Bu temadan hareketle yapılan bu çalışmada; Antik Zeugma Kenti Roma Dönemi pişirme kap örnekleri Başkent Üniversitesi Seramik Sanat ve Uygulama Merkezi tarafından aslına benzer şekilde yeniden yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Antik Dönem Roma kaynaklarından Apicius ve Cato’nun tariflerine uygun olarak antik yemeklerin üretilmesi, antik kaplarda servis edilerek deneyimli panelist grubu ve tüketiciler tarafından duyusal değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmasıdır. Analizlerde görünüş, koku, doku, lezzet ve genel beğeni alt başlıklarla değerlendirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda eğitimli panelistlerin lactuca patina, vıtellina fricta ve libum’a 9 ‘lu skalaya göre genel beğeni açısından sırasıyla 7.88±0.74, 7.75±0.62, 7.57±0.68 değerleri ile ortalamanın üzerinde puan verdikleri görülmüştür. Tüketici beğeni testinde ise 5’li skalaya göre aynı sırayla 4.66±0.52, 4,62±0.68, 4.09±1.15 değerleri ile genel beğeninin yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur.
Structural classification of boron nitride twisted bilayers and ab initio investigation of their stacking-dependent electronic structure
Authors: Latil Sylvain , Amara Hakim , Sponza Lorenzo
Published: March 2023

Since the discovery of superconductive twisted bilayer graphene which
initiated the field of twistronics, moiré systems have not ceased to
exhibit fascinating properties. We demonstrate that in boron nitride
twisted bilayers, for a given moiré periodicity, there are five
different stackings which preserve the monolayer hexagonal symmetry
(i.e. the invariance upon rotations of 120°)
and not only two as always discussed in literature. We introduce some
definitions and a nomenclature that identify unambiguously the twist
angle and the stacking sequence of any hexagonal bilayer with order-3
rotation symmetry. Moreover, we employ density functional theory to
study the evolution of the band structure as a function of the twist
angle for each of the five stacking sequences of boron nitride bilayers.
We show that the gap is indirect at any angle and in any stacking, and
identify features that are conserved within the same stacking sequence
irrespective of the angle of twist.
A path integral ground state Monte Carlo algorithm for entanglement of lattice bosons
Authors: Casiano-Diaz Emanuel , Herdman C. M. , Del Maestro Adrian
Published: March 2023

A ground state path integral quantum Monte Carlo algorithm is
introduced that allows for the study of entanglement in lattice bosons
at zero temperature. The Rényi entanglement entropy between spatial
subregions is explored across the phase diagram of the one dimensional
Bose-Hubbard model for systems consisting of up to
L=256L=256
sites at unit-filling without any restrictions on site occupancy, far
beyond the reach of exact diagonalization. The favorable scaling of the
algorithm is demonstrated through a further measurement of the Rényi
entanglement entropy at the two dimensional superfluid-insulator
critical point for large system sizes, confirming the existence of the
expected entanglement boundary law in the ground state. The Rényi
estimator is extended to measure the symmetry resolved entanglement that
is operationally accessible as a resource for experimentally relevant
lattice gases with fixed total particle number.

Smooth approximations of nonsmooth convex functions
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Polyakova Lyudmila N.
Published: March 2023

For an arbitrary convex function, using the infimal convolution operation, a family of continuously differentiable convex functions approximating it is constructed. The constructed approximating family of smooth convex functions Kuratowski converges to the function under consideration. If the domain of the considered function is compact, then such smooth convex approximations are uniform in the Chebyshev metric. The approximation of a convex set by a family of smooth convex sets is also considered.
An epidemic model of malaria without and with vaccination. Pt 2. A model of malaria with vaccination
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Ndiaye Serigne M. , Parilina Elena M. ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: March 2023

The article proposes a mathematical model of a malaria epidemic with vaccination in a population of people (hosts), where the disease is transmitted by a mosquito (carrier). The malaria transmission model is defined by a system of ordinary differential equations, which takes into account the level of vaccination in the population. The host population at any given time is divided into four subgroups: susceptible, vector-bitten, infected, and recovered. Sufficient conditions for the stability of a disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium are obtained using the theory of Lyapunov functions. Numerical modeling represents the influence of parameters (including the vaccination level of the population) on the disease spread.

The aim of the study is to construct a model of the needs of the population of older age groups in medical care provided in stationary conditions. Modeling was carried out on the basis of data on cases of medical care in the period 2018–2019. Population of older age groups living in the Moscow region. The probability of inpatient care was determined in each one-year age interval, starting at age 60. When constructing the dynamic curve, 41 points were used. In modeling, they adhered to the functional principle of describing age dynamics by an algebraic function, which was determined by the least squares method (regression analysis). The quality of the obtained models was evaluated by the value of the approximation coefficient. The degree of influence of age on the dependent variable (the magnitude of the need for care) was defined as the empirical correlation ratio during the variance analysis. The age dynamics of the need for medical care provided in inpatient conditions as well as in the conditions of a day hospital in the population of older age groups can be described using a second order parabola with a negative first coefficient. It should be noted the similarity of modeling functions used to describe the age dynamics of demanded volumes of medical care provided in outpatient and inpatient settings. There were no significant gender differences in the modelling of age dynamics of the need for medical care provided in a 24-hour hospital setting. The level of need is higher in men in all age groups studied, which is the opposite result relative to the need for outpatient care. The level of need for medical care provided in a day hospital setting is higher in women in all age groups studied, which corresponds to the results obtained in the study of the need for medical care provided in an outpatient setting.

Authors: Fauzi Nurul Sahida , Mohd Ali Siti Nadiah , Arshad Huraizah , Fachrudin Khaira Amalia
Published: March 2023

Green corporate real estate (CRE) provides many benefits, especially to the environment. However, companies cannot fully benefit from a green building if the manager poorly manages the building. The CRE manager must consider numerous factors to ensure the building performs well and contributes a positive financial return to the company. Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate the key elements of corporate real estate sustainable management (CRESM) to facilitate CRE managers in efficiently managing and enhancing the existing management of their office buildings. Thus, the researcher conducted a semi-structured interview with thirteen experts in CRESM. Then, the data was analysed through thematic content analysis using Atlast.ti software. The findings highlight nine key elements of CRESM for office buildings.

Published: March 2023

To identify symbiosis between roots and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (HMA), methodologies have been reported with variations in concentrations of reagents, temperature, and time of exposure for staining, which does not always adjust to the need for specific cultures due to variation in root structures. The objective of this research was to standardize a methodology to identify mycorrhizal colonization in banana crops in an efficient way. The research was carried out during the second semester of 2022 in the municipality of Apartadó-Antioquia. Four treatments were established that consisted of the evaluation with and without mycorrhizal inoculation with two bleaching techniques each (with and without subjection to Bain Marie). A total of 108 plates (54/technique) were evaluated, where percentage of colonization, visibility, vesicles and arbuscules were identified. There was a complete randomized design. Data were analyzed with R Studio 2022.02 software. An ANAVA and means separations were obtained with a post-hoc analysis of Tukey and Kruskal-Wallis with a confidence level of 95%. Symbiosis was found in all cases, statistical differences were identified in percentage of colonization with 46.8% to 90.2%; arbuscules from 12.1 to 338.0 units and a visibility percentage of 100% in treatments subjected to a Bain Marie, highlighting the need for subjecting banana roots to heat to favor discoloration, staining and visibility due to their architecture.

Authors: Thomas Emily Brenny Kroska , Sagorac Gruichich Tijana , Maronge Jacob M , Hoel Sydney , Victory Amanda , Stowe Zachary N , Cochran Amy
Published: March 2023

Background

Extant gaps in mental health services are intensified among first-generation college students. Improving access to empirically based interventions is critical, and mobile health (mHealth) interventions are growing in support. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an empirically supported intervention that has been applied to college students, via mobile app, and in brief intervals.

Objective

This study evaluated the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of an ACT-based mHealth intervention using a microrandomized trial (MRT) design.

Methods

Participants (N=34) were 18- to 19-year-old first-generation college students reporting distress, who participated in a 6-week intervention period of twice-daily assessments and randomization to intervention. Participants logged symptoms, moods, and behaviors on the mobile app Lorevimo. After the assessment, participants were randomized to an ACT-based intervention or no intervention. Analyses examined proximal change after randomization using a weighted and centered least squares approach. Outcomes included values-based and avoidance behavior, as well as depressive symptoms and perceived stress.

Results

The findings indicated the intervention was safe and feasible. The intervention increased values-based behavior but did not decrease avoidance behavior. The intervention reduced depressive symptoms but not perceived stress.

Conclusions

An MRT of an mHealth ACT-based intervention among distressed first-generation college students suggests that a larger MRT is warranted. Future investigations may tailor interventions to contexts where intervention is most impactful.

Published: March 2023

Background

Substance use, particularly binge drinking of alcohol and noninjection substance use, is associated with increased risk for HIV infection among youth, but structured substance use screening and brief intervention are not often provided as part of HIV risk reduction.

Objective

The purpose of the study was to test the efficacy of a fully automated electronic screening and brief intervention, called Step Up, Test Up, to reduce alcohol misuse among adolescents and young adults presenting for HIV testing. Secondary objectives were reduction in sexual risk and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention.

Methods

Youth aged 16 years to 25 years who presented for HIV testing at community-based locations were recruited for study participation. Those who screened at moderate to high risk on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test were randomized (1:1) to either an electronic brief intervention or a time-attention control. The primary outcome was change in alcohol use at 1, 3, 6, and 12-month follow-ups. Negative binomial and log binomial regression analyses with generalized estimating equations were conducted to evaluate the intervention efficacy.

Results

Among a sample of 329 youth, there were no significant differences in alcohol use outcomes between conditions over time or at the 1, 3, 6, or 12-month time points. In terms of secondary outcomes, there was evidence of reduction in condomless insertive anal sex under the influence of alcohol and drugs at 12 months compared with 3 months in the intervention versus the attention control condition (incidence rate ratio=0.15, 95% CI 0.05-0.44); however, there were no other significant differences in sexual risk and no difference in PrEP engagement.

Conclusions

We found no effect of electronic brief intervention to reduce alcohol use and some effect on sexual risk among youth aged 16 years to 25 years who present for HIV testing.

The Impacts of a Psychoeducational Alcohol Resource During Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression and Anxiety: Observational Study
Authors: Peynenburg Vanessa , Sapkota Ram P , Lozinski Tristen , Sundström Christopher , Wilhelms Andrew , Titov Nickolai , Dear Blake , Hadjistavropoulos Heather
Published: March 2023

Background

Problematic alcohol use is common among clients seeking transdiagnostic internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for depression or anxiety but is not often addressed in these treatment programs. The benefits of offering clients a psychoeducational resource focused on alcohol use during ICBT for depression or anxiety are unknown.

Objective

This observational study aimed to elucidate the impacts of addressing comorbid alcohol use in ICBT for depression and anxiety.

Methods

All patients (N=1333) who started an 8-week transdiagnostic ICBT course for depression and anxiety received access to a resource containing information, worksheets, and strategies for reducing alcohol use, including psychoeducation, reasons for change, identifying risk situations, goal setting, replacing drinking with positive activities, and information on relapse prevention. We assessed clients’ use and perceptions of the resource; client characteristics associated with reviewing the resource; and whether reviewing the resource was associated with decreases in clients’ alcohol use, depression, and anxiety at posttreatment and 3-month follow-up among clients dichotomized into low-risk and hazardous drinking categories based on pretreatment Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores.

Results

During the 8-week course, 10.8% (144/1333) of clients reviewed the resource, and those who reviewed the resource provided positive feedback (eg, 127/144, 88.2% of resource reviewers found it worth their time). Furthermore, 18.15% (242/1333) of clients exhibited hazardous drinking, with 14.9% (36/242) of these clients reviewing the resources. Compared with nonreviewers, resource reviewers were typically older (P=.004) and separated, divorced, or widowed (P<.001). Reviewers also consumed more weekly drinks (P<.001), scored higher on the AUDIT (P<.001), and were more likely to exhibit hazardous drinking (P<.001). Regardless of their drinking level (ie, low risk vs hazardous), all clients showed a reduction in AUDIT-Consumption scores (P=.004), depression (P<.001), and anxiety (P<.001) over time; in contrast, there was no change in clients’ drinks per week over time (P=.81). Reviewing alcohol resources did not predict changes in AUDIT-Consumption scores or drinks per week.

Conclusions

Overall, ICBT appeared to be associated with a reduction in alcohol consumption scores, but this reduction was not greater among alcohol resource reviewers. Although there was some evidence that the resource was more likely to be used by clients with greater alcohol-related difficulties, the results suggest that further attention should be given to ensuring that those who could benefit from the resource review it to adequately assess the benefits of the resource.
The Association Between Social Determinants of Health and Population Health Outcomes: Ecological Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Vo Ace , Tao Youyou , Li Yan , Albarrak Abdulaziz
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

With the increased availability of data, a growing number of studies have been conducted to address the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) factors on population health outcomes. However, such an impact is either examined at the county level or the state level in the United States. The results of analysis at lower administrative levels would be useful for local policy makers to make informed health policy decisions.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the ecological association between SDOH factors and population health outcomes at the census tract level and the city level. The findings of this study can be applied to support local policy makers in efforts to improve population health, enhance the quality of care, and reduce health inequity.

METHODS

This ecological analysis was conducted based on 29,126 census tracts in 499 cities across all 50 states in the United States. These cities were grouped into 5 categories based on their population density and political affiliation. Feature selection was applied to reduce the number of SDOH variables from 148 to 9. A linear mixed-effects model was then applied to account for the fixed effect and random effects of SDOH variables at both the census tract level and the city level.

RESULTS

The finding reveals that all 9 selected SDOH variables had a statistically significant impact on population health outcomes for ≥2 city groups classified by population density and political affiliation; however, the magnitude of the impact varied among the different groups. The results also show that 4 SDOH risk factors, namely, asthma, kidney disease, smoking, and food stamps, significantly affect population health outcomes in all groups (P<.01 or P<.001). The group differences in health outcomes for the 4 factors were further assessed using a predictive margin analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

The analysis reveals that population density and political affiliation are effective delineations for separating how the SDOH affects health outcomes. In addition, different SDOH risk factors have varied effects on health outcomes among different city groups but similar effects within city groups. Our study has 2 policy implications. First, cities in different groups should prioritize different resources for SDOH risk mitigation to maximize health outcomes. Second, cities in the same group can share knowledge and enable more effective SDOH-enabled policy transfers for population health.
Clinician Experiences With Hybrid Closed Loop Insulin Delivery Systems in Veterans With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mizokami-Stout Kara , Thompson Holly M , Hurren Kathryn , Leone Virginia , Piatt Gretchen A , Lee Joyce M , Pop-Busui Rodica , DeJonckheere Melissa
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin pumps adjust insulin delivery based on input from a continuous glucose monitor. Several systems are FDA approved and associated with improved time in range, reduction in hemoglobin A1c, and decreased incidence of hypoglycemia. Major diabetes guidelines differ in their strength of recommendations regarding the use of HCL systems. Overall, limited information about the factors that influence HCL pump clinical decision-making is available, especially among endocrinology clinicians.

OBJECTIVE

The study objective is to describe the knowledge and attitudes, network support, and self-efficacy regarding HCL insulin delivery systems among endocrinology clinicians in one Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System in the Midwest.

METHODS

Following a descriptive approach, this qualitative study used semistructured interviews and inductive thematic analysis. All endocrinologists, endocrinology fellows, and nurses in the endocrinology and metabolism department at one VA Healthcare System in the Midwest were invited to participate in one-on-one phone interviews. Thematic analysis explored clinician perspectives on HCL insulin pump systems.

RESULTS

Participants (n=11) had experience within VA and university health care system endocrinology clinics. From their experiences, 4 themes were identified involving the evaluation and assessment of insulin pump candidates, prescribing challenges, clinical benefits of HCL pumps, and overall clinician confidence.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings suggest that clinicians believe HCL systems have significant glycemic benefits but are not appropriate for all patients, especially those with cognitive impairment. HCL pump initiation is a multi-step process requiring an interdisciplinary team of health care clinicians to ensure patient and pump success. Furthermore, HCL systems improve clinician confidence in overall diabetes management.
Phone-Based Text Therapy for Youth Mental Health: Rapid Review (Preprint)
Authors: Karnik Varun , Henderson Hamish , Khan Urooj Raza , Boyd James
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Mental illness has become a prevalent issue impacting adolescents worldwide. Many barriers, including stigma and poor health literacy, prevent this population group from accessing reliable mental health care services. Synchronous text–therapy counseling is an underused therapeutic approach in combating adolescent mental illness. Phone-based text therapy is uniquely placed to offer personalized counseling to adolescents through a familiar and engaging treatment modality.

OBJECTIVE

This rapid review aims to understand the clinical effectiveness, usability, and accessibility of phone-based text therapy for youth mental health.

METHODS

Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, PubMed, and PsycINFO were used to search for suitable literature. Five groups of keywords were used: those related to (1) “therapy,” (2) “text,” (3) “phone,” (4) “youth,” and (5) “mental health.” Eligibility criteria were formed through the PICO (Population, Intervention, Control, and Outcome) framework. Studies were included if a synchronous phone-based text therapy intervention was used in an adolescent population, with an age range of 12-24 years. Only literature available in full-text, English, and a peer-reviewed journal was considered. Furthermore, a date limit of 5 years was set to reflect the recent development of digital interventions for mental health. Pertinent information from each study was tabulated, and a narrative synthesis was used to assess, describe, and organize the included studies comprehensively and concisely.

RESULTS

Of the 771 studies dual screened, 7 studies were included in this rapid review. Most of the exclusions occurred due to the use of the wrong intervention, such as asynchronous messaging. The selected studies had a low risk of bias and were suitable for the review. All interventional trials demonstrated reductions in mental health symptoms, primarily depression and anxiety. Most studies displayed high usability among participants, while data were unclear regarding accessibility.

CONCLUSIONS

This review reveals the high potential of phone-based text therapy as an intervention for adolescents experiencing mental illness. We hope that this review promotes further refinement of text-based phone therapies and encourages future research on this subject matter.
Joint stochastic simulation of petrophysical properties with elastic attributes based on parametric copula models

Published: March 2023

El método de co-simulación estocástica espacial, basado en cópulas, es un método general que permite simular variables con cualquier tipo de dependencia y funciones de distribución de probabilidad. Esta flexibilidad proviene del uso de un modelo de cópula para la representación de la función de distribución de probabilidad conjunta. El método se ha implementado principalmente a través de un enfoque no paramétrico utilizando cópulas de Bernstein y se ha aplicado con éxito para la simulación de propiedades petrofísicas usando atributos sísmicos elásticos como variables secundarias. En el presente trabajo este método se implementa mediante otros dos enfoques: paramétrico y semi-paramétrico. Específicamente, para el enfoque paramétrico se usa la familia de cópulas Arquimedianas. Primero, el enfoque paramétrico se valida con un caso publicado y luego se realiza una comparación de los tres enfoques en términos de precisión y rendimiento. Los resultados mostraron que el enfoque paramétrico es el que peor reproduce las estadísticas de los datos y presenta mayor incertidumbre con un menor costo computacional, mientras que el enfoque no-paramétrico resultó el que mejor reproduce la dependencia de los datos a un alto costo computacional. El enfoque semi-paramétrico reduce un 10% el costo computacional respecto al no-paramétrico, pero se degrada significativamente su precisión.
Trafficking in Women: A Critical Legal Analysis
Authors: Bisht Divya , Kumar Apurv
Published: March 2023

Abstract: The trafficking of people is expressly prohibited by the Indian Constitution. The Constitution's Fundamental Rights section forbids "trade in human persons and other comparable forms of forced labour" in Article 23. Even though there isn't a clear definition of "trafficking," one could say that Trafficking inherently entails the movement or transportation of a person via coercion or fraud, followed by their exploitation and eventual commercialization. The abusers take advantage of the vulnerable nature of the trafficked individual, including the traffickers, recruiters, transporters, sellers, buyers, and end-users. With globalisation, trafficking has increased dramatically. The problem is made worse by organised actions, increasing profit with little to no risk, and low attention given to law enforcement, among other things. In order to work as domestic helpers or workers, women are also trafficked into commercial markets. Similar to those who are forced into prostitution, Kuwait is thought to be a key hub for the trafficking of women for commercial exploitation. Futhur this paper will also talk about its impact and vulnerability, human rights and its impact on society and will see cases from real life.

Abstract: Smart city is a concept which every country look forward to seed in their lands. To make that seed a big tree, a lot of aspects need to be addressed. Among them an important element is that, the drainage system. Even a small area with the proper drainage system will contribute a lot to the society. Manholes act as the access point to a sewer system. If there are any blockages in the drainage pipelines, manholes are the way to get into the underground pipes. If the blockages are not addressed, the sewage water overflow through the manholes which rises the temper of the pedestrians as well as vehicle drivers. Even tilted manhole covers are dangerous since they lead to accidents. Also the life of the scavengers who enters the manhole is not safe because of unawareness of the toxic level of the drainage or sewage water.
The Broad Reach of Multivariable Thinking
Authors: Kuhn Deanna , Modrek Anahid
Published: March 2023

Simple explanations are very often inadequate and can encourage faulty inferences. We examined college students’ explanations regarding illegal immigration to determine the prevalence of single-factor explanations. The form of students’ explanations was predicted by their responses on a simple three-item forced-choice multivariable causal reasoning task in which they selected the strongest evidence against a causal claim. In a further qualitative investigation of explanations by a sample of community adults, we identified positive features among those who scored high on this multivariable causal reasoning task. We consider limitations of single-factor reasoning and means of encouraging more comprehensive explanations to support claims.
The Account of the Crimean Khanate in a Treatise by Adrian de Verdy du Vernois
Authors:   V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, Khrapunov Nikita I.
Published: March 2023

Research objectives: The aim of this article is to explore a lesser-known source that provides information about the Crimean Khanate – a treatise called “Essays on the Geography, Politics, and History of the Turkish Empire in Europe,” written by the French “armchair” scholar Adrian-Marie-François de Verdy du Vernois, who collected and summarized various materials on the history of the region in his work. Research materials: The article is based on an extract dedicated to the Crimea from the aforementioned treatise, which was published twice, in 1784 and 1785. This text has not yet been studied in Russian historiography. Results and novelty of the research: The study sheds light on the biography of de Verdy du Vernois, demonstrating the diversity of his scholarly interests. It is shown that during his work on the analyzed treatise, the Frenchman used a wide variety of sources, including books written by French diplomats and writers, encyclopedic works of “armchair” researchers, maps of the Northern Black Sea region, and state documents. The article reveals the information potential of the French treatise, which describes the geographical location and history of the Crimean Khanate, its relations with the Ottoman Sultan and the circumstances under which the Crimea accepted the Turkish protectorate, the ethnic structure of the state, the urban centres subordinated to the khan, the cities under Turkish power, the Russian interests in the Black Sea Area, and the Russo-Ottoman war of 1768–1774. Additionally, the article shows the place of the analyzed book among contemporary Western intellectuals’ perceptions of the Crimea and reveals erroneous and stereotypical views.

Additionally, publications of Russian, Soviet, and post-Soviet specialists on the history of Central Asia, including V. Bartold, A. Semenov, R. Mukminova, B. Akhmedov, R. McChesney, T. Sultanov, K. Baypakov, E. Smagulov, D. DeWeese, F. Schwartz, A. Muminov, K. Kattaev, B. Babajanov, V. Norik, etc. are also analyzed in detail. Results and novelty of the research: The Shibanids Kuchkunji Khan, Suyunchkhoja Khan, and their descendants combined Jochid and Timurid roots in their genealogy and used this to legitimize their rule. The political system of the state, characterized by strong regionalism in which Samarkand stood out, influenced the formation of local cultural identity, which was reflected in the monumental architecture in Samarkand. This architecture shows a synthesis of cultural traditions from the Syr Darya regions of Ulus Jochi and Khorezm and the Timurid heritage of Maverannahr. During the 16th century in Samarkand, three memorial places with different architectural styles and geographical locations were built, where representatives of the Shibanid dynasty were buried. Each of them reflected different ideological lines, followed by certain representatives of the Shibanids. According to the author, the Shibanids-Kuchkunjids built a madrasah in Samarkand that continued certain Timurid traditions, while simultaneously incorporating elements of Golden Horde architecture. The construction of the madrasah of Abu Said Khan in the historical centre of Samarkand, near the madrasah of Mirzo Ulugbek, had symbolic meaning. The first Shibanids supported the use of the Turkic language in Maverannahr due to both Timurid traditions and the Golden Horde heritage, in which the Turkic literary language occupied a significant place.

Society’s openness to science, technology, and information development cannot be stopped. To face the development of technology and information, we must be intelligent in assessing, accommodating, and filtering the development of technology and information so that we can survive in constantly changing, uncertain, and competitive conditions. Besides intelligence, the character is also important to face the development of science, technology, and information. Individuals who have good character will be wiser in utilizing the development of science, technology, and information. Therefore, in this analytical research paper, we introduce SIMPATIK learning to increase the effectiveness of learning mathematics at school. Through SIMPATIK learning, students can do mathematics intelligently and have good character. SIMPATIK learning can be defined as learning that can develop sociocultural, innovative, independent, caring, creative, and active abilities in mathematics learning based on information, communication, and technology. We believe that SIMPATIK Learning can increase the quality of mathematics learning and can be used by teachers to develop the intelligence and character of students. SIMPATIK Learning is also expected to contribute science to knowledge in mathematics education worldwide.

Gestión unadista y su impacto en las regiones colombianas. Años 2004 - 2017
Authors: Leal Guerrero María Paula
Published: March 2023

En el presente, una de las instituciones que los colombianos más relacionan con el término de educación a distancia es la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD), tal vez por el nombre que enfatiza el modelo “a distancia”, o porque han es-cuchado a conocidos egresados o estudiantes que hablan sobre esta universidad y su forma de estudio, o tal vez han visto noticias, publicidad o datos acerca de la modalidad no presencial de la institución. Cada vez son más las personas que conocen a la UNAD, y nombran su gestión en diferentes regiones de la geografía colombiana, en donde las universidades presenciales no pueden llegar con su modelo educativo tradicional. A 2019 la UNAD cuenta con más de 100 000 estudiantes en todos sus sistemas, niveles y ciclos de formación, cursando programas con una impronta social con el fin de llevar el legado unadista de ayudar al desarrollo de las comunidades. El presente texto pretende mostrar la evolución de la presencia Unadista en la educación superior colombiana, iniciando con un recorrido histórico de los inicios de la educación a distancia en el mundo, pasando por Latinoamérica y llegando a Colombia, en donde nace el pilar de Unisur, ahora llamada Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia, que desde sus inicios y como toda organización, ha tenido cambios y avances, hasta llegar a ser una megauniversidad en el año 2017. La gestión realizada por la UNAD desde el año 2004 al 2017, sus cambios de estructura organizacional, académica, y cada uno de los proyectos basados en las responsabilidades sustantivas de la Universidad. Asimismo, el impacto que ha tenido la UNAD a nivel regional durante dichos años, y el crecimiento de la matrícula por segmento del país. Todo lo anterior, desde una perspectiva de gestión organizacional como ente constructor de empresa.

Developing countries’ economies are in shambles as a result of the coronavirus. Developing countries like Bangladesh began opening its business sector in May 2020 in order to preserve the economy. To mitigate the effect of coronavirus, the government has implemented “new normal” guidelines for businesses. The primary goals of this research are to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced employee performance and to determine the workers’ perspectives regarding the changes that have been made to their everyday lives. To complete this research, employee performance was assessed using the employee response to change (ERC) method. Employees from many sectors have been studied. For this research, 300 people from various sectors were surveyed online at random. The study was quantitative as well as exploratory. It was based solely on original data. The research used a non-probability sampling approach to collect data. The survey questionnaire was sent to those who replied via Google Forms. Results and visual representations are found using SPSS software and Microsoft Excel. COVID-19 and the reaction to employee changes have a considerable detrimental influence on employee performance, according to all of the study’s findings. The employee’s focus, communication, and attention to work are all adversely affected by these “new normal” alterations
