Coastal upwellings in the Sea of Marmara
Authors: Mutlu Sabri , Kuzyaka Ersan , Atabay Hakan , Topal Abdulkadir
Published: November 2023

Based on in situ measurements between 2017 and 2022 in the Sea of Marmara, three "warm and saline" upwelling events were observed during autumn and winter scientific expeditions. These observations were crucial and worth mentioning since the surface salinity value increased and even reached the lower layer value, which is ~38 psu, during the process. Other characteristics of the lower layer were also detected, either as they are or in between upper- and lower-layer values due to mixing. After analysing the effects of coastal upwellings on the upper layer, it was concluded that coastal upwelling, which has been underestimated for a long time, has to be well studied because it could be another reason or way of nutrient enrichment in the upper layer and salinity increase in winters. This phenomenon also has huge potential to differ the upper layer characteristics with a rise in frequency. Therefore, it is advised that coastal upwelling should always be considered with other well-known features during marine studies and for future engineering solutions in the basin.

Published: November 2023

Liquid sloshing, which occurs in all accelerating and liquid-carrying vehicles, is of great importance, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries. Large-scale fluid sloshing causes both operational and safety problems in vehicles. In this study, the fuel tank of a heavy vehicle with an emergency braking system is designed in three dimensions, and liquid sloshing in the fuel tank is investigated by CFD analysis meth-od. VOF solution method, k-ԑ turbulence model, and PISO solution algorithm are used in the study. In the analysis of liquid sloshing, it is assumed that the vehicle is traveling at a certain speed, decelerates and stops with emergency braking, and remains station-ary for a while. The braking scenario and boundary conditions are based on test data from a heavy vehicle manufacturer. The designed fuel tank with a capacity of 207.6 li-ters was analyzed at 25%, 50%, and 60% diesel fuel filling levels in 6 different cases with and without anti-slosh baffles. Four virtual sensors were placed on the side wall of the fuel tank in the direction of vehicle movement, and time-dependent pressure changes were analyzed for all cases. In addition, the fuel volume ratio in all cases is visualized and presented for specific time steps. With the use of anti-slosh baffles, the maximum pressure, the rate of pressure increase, and the liquid sloshing were reduced by a factor of 2-3 for different cases. With the design of the fuel tank using anti-slosh baffles, instantaneous interruptions in the fuel system are prevented. Reducing the im-pact pressures on the tank walls is expected to positively affect noise, vibration, and stability problems.

Yetiştirme Kuramı Çerçevesinde Televizyon Dizilerinde Yoksulluk Temsilleri: Romanlar Örneği
Authors: ARABACI KOÇ Maria
Published: November 2023

Türkiye’de 2000’lerden bu yana sayıları artan televizyon dizileri, günümüzde birçok ulusal kanalın prime-time yayın kuşağını oluşturmaktadır. Dizilerde farklı toplumsal, kültürel ve sosyo-ekonomik temsiller yer almaktadır. Bu temsillerden bir tanesi de yoksulluktur. Bu çalışmada televizyon dizilerinde yoksulluğun nasıl temsil edildiği araştırılacaktır. Yetiştirme Kuramı’nda vurgulandığı üzere, televizyon uzun vadede izleyici üzerinde etkilidir. Bu bağlamda yoksulluk temsilleri de hem izlerkitle hem de temsil edilen grup açısından sorunsal olabilmektedir. Özellikle etnik azınlıklar göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, Yetiştirme Kuramı çerçevesinde yoksulluk temsilleri bu gruplara yönelik önyargıyı arttırabilmekte ve sosyo-ekonomik durumlarını pekiştirebilmektedir. Bu bağlamda dizilerdeki yoksulluk temsilleri Roman etnisitesi üzerinden incelenecektir. Türkiye’de televizyonlarda yayınlanan ve Roman karakterlerin olduğu beş dizinin; hikâye, karakterler, mekân, eğitim ve iş hayatı kategorileri çerçevesinde nitel içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmanda, yoksulluğun Romanlar ile özdeşleştirildiği ve Roman karakterlerin bütün dizilerde yoksul olarak temsil edildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yetiştirme Kuramı çerçevesinde, bu temsiller toplumda daha fazla eşitsizlik yaratabilmekte ve azınlık gruplarını daha fazla güçsüzleştirebilmektedirler. Kurmaca anlatı yapısı içerinde yoksulluk üzerine birçok hikâye bulunmakla birlikte, bu hikayelerin belirli bir etnik grup üzerinden tekrar edilmesi, o gruba yönelik kalıp-yargıların ve önyargıların da oluşmasına sebep olabilmektedir.

Published: November 2023

كل لغة لها مخزونها الصوتي الخاص. ومن ثم فأن تعلم نطق أي لغة جديدة, كحالنا الانكليزية كلغة أجنبية, يمكن أن يكون مهمة صعبة نظرا لوجود بعض الأصوات التي يصعب نطقها ولا علاقة لها تماما بأي أصوات مألوفة لدى المتعلمين بالفعل. كما أن تطبيق الأنماط الصوتية غير الصحيحة عند التحدث أو القراءة يؤدي إلى أصوات غير طبيعية تمامًا. يجب معالجة مثل هذه المشكلة منذ بداية تعلم المتعلمين لتسهيل عملية التعلم وتقليل التحديات التي قد تتم مواجهتها خلال هذه العملية.

يهدف البحث الحالي إلى مساعدة الطلاب على التغلب على صعوبة عدم التمييز بين الصوتين /p/ و/b/ والتي قد تؤدي إلى تغيير معنى الكلمات. ويفترض انه يمكن التغلب على هذه الصعوبة من خلال تنمية الوعي الصوتي والفونيمي لدى الطلاب من خلال تعليمهم بشكل واضح بعض الأنشطة التي قد تقلل بشكل ايجابي من مشكلة النطق الخاطئ وتحقق أداء أفضل.

وعليه, ولتطبيق الإشكالية السابقة للصوت / p / الذي غير موجود في اللغة العربية، تم اختبار 400 طالب من طلاب السنة الأولى، قسم اللغة الإنجليزية، كلية التربية للعلوم الإنسانية ، جامعة الموصل، من خلال الاستماع إلى كلمات فردية ومتباينة ، وقراءة نص يحتوي على كلمات بالأصوات / p / و / b / ومن ثم كمجموعة يروون قصة باستخدام الكلمات المقترحة. تبين أن 40 طالبًا يواجهون مشكلة استبدال الصوت / /pبالصوت  /b/في المواضع الأولية للكلمة, الوسطى أو النهائية. وعلى هذا الأساس تم تقسيم الطلاب إلى مجموعتين ضابطة وتجريبية وتم تدريسهم بشكل مختلف. وتشير النتائج إلى أن المجموعة التجريبية حققت نتائج أفضل من المجموعة الضابطة حيث تم تدريسها وفق الطريقة الواضحة من قبل شميت (2010) والتي تم اعتمادها كنموذج في الدراسة الحالية.

لعبت الروايـة النسويّة دورًا فاعلًا في إبراز مكانة المرأة العربيّة؛ لما قدّمتـــــه النصوص من تصورات وقضايا، عملت على تجاوز النمطيّة المعهـودة التي رُسمت حولها، وعلى الـرّغــم من العثرات العديدة التي واجهتها؛ إلّا أنّها تخطّت كلّ ذلك بتجاوزهـا المحظورات، فاظهر النّص السرديّ النسويّ وجهــــة نظـر المرأة بلغتهــا التي تعرض اعترافاتهــــا، في بنيـة اجتماعيّة وثقافيّة ذكوريّة غالبة، وقد كشف خروج المرأة على النّمطيّة في محاولة إظهار صوتهـــا أو محاولة تسيّدها النص الســــــــرديّ؛ واقع الظروف القسريّة التي تحاول تهميشها وإظهارها بالشّكل النّاقص، بوصفها أنثـــــــى تعيش في مجتمعات تحكمها المحظورات المتأصلة.

Choice to Use Hearing Aids Associated with Mental-Health Benefits: A Longitudinal Study
Authors: McIlhiney Paul , Almeida Osvaldo P. , Sucher Catherine M. , Eikelboom Robert , Jayakody Dona M. P.
Published: November 2023

Objectives: Mental-health issues and untreated hearing loss contributed over 460 million disability-adjusted life years in 2019, costing approximately $6 trillion USD in economic losses. Furthermore, previous research has found untreated hearing loss to be a significant, modifiable risk factor of mental-health issues. However, whether hearing-loss treatment with hearing aids alleviates associated elevations in mental-health symptoms is unknown. Thus, the current study longitudinally assessed whether hearing-aid use can improve depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in those with hearing loss.Methods: We tested 179 middle-aged-to-older adults (ages 40 to 89 years) who, based on an audiometric assessment and choice to be treated, were assigned to normal-hearing (n = 44), hearing-aided (n = 72), and hearing-loss (n = 63) groups. Participants completed the short-form Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) at four timepoints (baseline, three months, six months, 12 months). Data were analysed with linear mixed-effects modelling.Results: Results showed that depression, anxiety, and stress levels of those who chose hearing-aid treatment were more stable than those with moderate-to-worse hearing loss who chose no treatment; those who chose hearing-aid treatment also showed similar levels to those with normal hearing.Conclusions: The current findings suggest that those with moderate-to-worse hearing loss who choose no hearing-loss treatment are at greater risk of mental-health issues; conversely, those who choose treatment with hearing aids appear to be at lower risk. However, randomised controlled trials are needed to ascertain whether treatment with hearing aids can cause reduction in mental-health symptomology of those with hearing loss.
Human Fear Model
Authors: Leong Yee Rock
Published: November 2023

In rethinking human motivation through the lens of terror, Albert Einstein's deterministic viewpoint serves as a thought-provoking departure from main theories, particularly revisiting Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Einstein's assertion that "God does not throw dice" implies a universe governed by cause and effect, where events, including human actions, unfold according to predetermined factors. This deterministic perspective suggests that the intricate web of influences and dynamics may be the true architects of human motivation. In this paradigm, the illusion of motivation emerges, indicating that the seeming desires and instincts posited by Maslow may be mere byproducts of causal chains. By exploring real-world psychological studies, we can uncover instances where human behavior appears more responsive to other forces than to an internal hierarchy of needs which categorizes from physiological to self-actualization. However, this paper suggests that fear, rather than instinct and desire, is the primary motivator underlying these needs. This paper proposes a fear-based reconceptualization of Maslow's Hierarchy, proposing that fear of death, uncertainty, isolation, inferiority, and conformity serves as the foundational drivers of human motivation. This paper offers a slightly different perspective on human motivation, highlighting the role of fear reduction rather than desire fulfillment. It has practical implications across diverse domains, from consumer behavior, marketing, to technology adoption and healthcare. However, this concept requires further empirical validation, consideration of alternative perspectives to enhance its academic rigor. Nonetheless, it opens a different avenue for understanding and optimizing human behavior and provides a unique lens for exploring consciousness in artificial intelligence.

This research was conducted on August 31, 2021 – December 7, 2021, at the UPTD KPSDKP, West Sumatra Province. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of temperature differences on incubation time, hatching rate, and survival rate of turtle hatchlings (Lepidochelys olivacea). The method used in this study is an experiment that uses 3 trials plus 1 control, with 3 repetitions. Turtle eggs were incubated with the same depth and number of eggs with the addition of different temperatures from incandescent lamps with different powers. Then proceed with the calculation of incubation time, percentage of hatching, and survival of hatchling. Based on the results of the research, for the calculation of incubation time, the experimental unit with the shortest incubation period was produced by experimental unit B, with a temperature range of 27.5–29.5⁰C, which was 58 days. The incubation period that took the longest was the control experimental unit with an average temperature of 25⁰C, which was 65 days. For the results, the most optimal hatching rate was produced by experimental unit B, with an average hatching rate of 86%. Meanwhile, the lowest hatching rate was obtained from experimental unit C with an average hatching rate of only 53.3%. Then for the survival of the hatchlings after being quarantined for one week, all of them show the number 100%, which means that no hatchlings died during the quarantine

Authors: Khadka Jwolan , Nepal Manisha , Adhikari Bhawana , Lamichhane Puja , Kunwar Deepa
Published: November 2023

INTRODUCTION: Pain management after root canal treatment is a very important issue in clinical practice. Occlusal reduction has been widely used after root canal treatment to reduce post treatment pain and flare up. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal reduction on postoperative pain in teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy mandibular molar teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis requiring root canal treatment were included in this study. Each patient who met the inclusion criteria had a serial number allocated, ranging from 1 to 70. The patients were divided into two groups i.e, occlusal reduction group and without occlusal reduction group according to the odd and even numbers on the list. After administration of local anesthesia, the root canals were instrumented, and an intracanal calcium hydroxide dressing was placed. Following confirmation with articulating paper, occlusal reduction group received a 2 mm reduction in occlusal contacts. Preoperative pain before start of the procedure and postoperative pain 6 days after instrumentation were recorded on visual analogue scale. Data was evaluated by chi-square test and Man Whitney U test with p-value <0.05 considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in postoperative pain between two groups (p>0.05) after root canal preparation. 
CONCLUSIONS: Occlusal surface reduction did not provide any further reduction in postoperative pain for teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis compared with no occlusal reduction

The Newars of the Hills : Remigration and Integration in the Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Shrestha Khadga Narayan
Published: November 2023

This paper describes the Newar’s outmigration from Kathmandu valley to the eastern hills of Nepal and their remigration in the Kathmandu valley. It explores various causes of outmigration such as migration for trade, employment, kin based migration, forced migration and so on. However, the causes of remigration to their ancestral land is not because of their loyalty and being highly patriot to the ancestral land but because of searching various opportunities in the Valley. Based on both primary and secondary data the paper analyzes the ways of their social and cultural integration through different guthi and samaj. The re-migrated Newars are socially, culturally and economically interdependent and unified each other on the basis of their territory and their origin in the hills. Their integration in the valley is based on the social, cultural and economic needs. The inter-caste and interethnic integration in the valley represents both territorial and social structural based identity of the hills. However, the paper concludes that the inter-caste and interethnic based integration may be fragmented due to the economic prosperity of household members and increased number of households of their own caste and ethnic groups.

Published: November 2023

El regreso de la guerra a Europa ha provocado, en palabras del Consejo Europeo de Versalles, “un gran cambio en la historia de Europa” y ha desencadenado efectos mundiales con una crisis alimentaria, así como efectos en sectores como la economía –con una inflación galopante– la energía y la seguridad. La seguridad y la defensa se han convertido en una prioridad en la agenda política de la Unión Europea, que ha cruzado “líneas rojas” como la decisión de suministrar armamento a Ucrania a través del Fondo Europeo de Apoyo a la Paz, algo hasta ahora impensable. Este artículo examinará cómo la agresión rusa ha servido de estímulo para el proyecto de integración y analizará los grandes desafíos y los principales desarrollos en seguridad y defensa desde la aprobación de la Estrategia Global de Política Exterior y de Seguridad en 2016.

La llegada de Moon Jae-In a la presidencia generó grandes expectativas entre las iglesias cristianas vinculadas a la Política del Sol. Recuperando categorías analíticas para el estudio de las redes trasnacionales de advocacy, este artículo examina a través del análisis cualitativo de documentos oficiales, sitios oficiales de internet y entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a los miembros de las iglesias, el rol del cristianismo en las políticas de unificación bajo el gobierno de Moon Jae-In. El artículo sostiene que, frente a la negativa del gobierno de Moon de rehabilitar las acciones directas de la sociedad civil surcoreana en el Norte, las iglesias que apoyaban al gobierno redefinieron sus repertorios de acción y marcos normativos sin romper sus vínculos con el gobierno, mientras que las iglesias que se oponían al presidente reforzaron el activismo bumerang para presionar y denunciar al gobierno.

Authors: AYDIN BERKTAS Ozlem
Published: November 2023

Paracetamol, which is a good analgesic and antipyretic when used in therapeutic doses, becomes a very damaging drug in overdose. In particular, it causes hepatotoxicity and may cause liver failure in the future. Prunus laurocerasus extracts used in the study are a natural fruit with proven antioxidant capacity in previous studies and have protective properties in many diseases. The aim of the present study is to determine the hepatoprotective property of this extract in the damage induced by paracetamol. For this, the experiment was designed in 5 different groups and each group was determined to have 6 experimental animals. No treatment was given to the control group (Group 1). Group 2 was determined as positive control as N-acetyl-cysteine ​​(NAC-150 mg/kg+paracetamol) in accordance with the literature. The treatment groups were determined as Prunus laurocerasus water and ethanol-water (400 mg/kg+paracetamol). The last group was paracetamol, which was given to animals at a dose of 2 mg/kg. Paracetamol administered in the liver and stomach significantly increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) and nitric oxide (NO) levels. It also caused a decrease in glutathione (GSH) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities. With the applied extracts, these rates increased significantly to the level of healthy tissue. The obtained data reveal that these extracts have hepatoprotective properties.

Authors: Gozhenko A. I. , Kotyuzhinska S. G. , Kovalevska L. A.
Published: November 2023

У статті розглянуто відомі предиктори атеросклерозу ендотеліального походження, які є діагностичним критерієм виявлення ранніх стадій атеросклеротичного процесу, дозволяють запобігти розвитку цієї патології та служать для моніторування ефективності проведеної терапії. Авторами проаналізовано можливість використання гепарину як маркера раннього розвитку атеросклеротичного процесу в організмі, враховуючи те, що пригнічення активності ліпопротеїнліпази, зумовлене гіпогепаринемією, яка виникає в результаті виснаження лаброцитів (тучних клітин) внаслідок дисфункції ендотелію, призводить до порушень ліпідотранспортної системи у вигляді стійкої гіперліпідемії з явищами дисліпідемії.

У хворих на гострий та загострення хронічного пієлонефриту виявлені особливостіцитокінів як складових його імуногенезу. Поєднання антибактеріальної терапії з нуклеїнатом і галавітом сприяє позитивним змінам цитокінпродукуючої здатності імунокомпетентних клітин і зниженню рівня прозапальних цитокінів в крові та сечі, а також SLPI – в сечі. У дітей з пієлонефритом і дорослих з діагностичним підвищенням титру антитіл (IgG) до вірусу простого герпесу і цитомегаловірусам спостерігали позитивний ефект, відповідно, Канефрону® Н і протефлазіду. Клініко-імунологічний ефект імуномодуляторів свідчить про доцільність їх використання в комплексній терапії пієлонефриту з метою модуляції цитокінової ланки імунітету для підвищення ефективності лікування гострого та запобігання погіршенню функції нирок при хронічному пієлонефриті.

Published: November 2023

This research examines the experiences of police working in conflict areas, how they adapt to situations that are prone to conflict, including their views on the conflicting parties, namely the community, companies and local governments as well as the communication barriers they experience with the new culture. This research focuses on the stories of the duties of Bintara, namely the police with the lowest rank in the police structure in conflict areas in Mesuji Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia. The stories of Bintara who served in this conflict area are very interesting to study and analyze after conducting long research on their lives. This study uses an ethnography approach with qualitative methods, where in-depth interviews and observation are data collection techniques. The results of this study indicate that there is no non-commissioned officer who wants to be placed in a tense area because of the conflict, threats to life that always loom, skin diseases, no clean water source, poisoned food, and communication barriers with the community are one cause, namely stereotypes and prejudices against conflict area communities. The stories of the police on duty as a result of this research are full of tension and life threats are explored in ethnography.
