Authors: Zarei Mahdi , Sarvestan Rasoul , Alavinia Seyed Hassan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Nowadays, due to the insufficient number of stations for input in hydrological models, it is not possible to simulate runoff and floods for points without stations. Therefore, to solve this problem, rain gauge networks should be designed for these station points. The present research was carried out to design an optimal rain gauge network for rainfall estimation in plain and mountainous regions in northeastern Iran. The R software was utilized to identify extreme events within the study area. Four events (representing all of the identified events) were selected and modeled using the weather research and forecasting model under four schemes, namely Purdue-Lin (Lin), WRF Single-Moment class 3,5 (WSM3, WSM5), and WRF Double-Moment class 6 (WDM6). According to the modeling result, 91 rain gauge stations were required to cover the study area, with the rain gauge stations designed at different distances from the synoptic station. The microphysical Lin scheme produced better accuracy levels for the rainfall modeling, as indicated by false alarm ratio and threat score of 17 and 0.91 for the rain-gauge stations located in the mountainous areas and 9 and 0.83 for the rain-gauge stations located in the plain areas, respectively. The rain-gauge stations located in the mountainous and plain areas tend to give more acceptable accuracies within 6 and 8 km of the main synoptic station, respectively, as indicated by False Alarm Ratio (FAR) of 0.30 and 0, respectively. Generally, Outputs of the rain-gauge network design coupled with future-period (24hr) forecasts enable authorities to become aware of extreme rainfall events and the rainfall data derived from this network can use as input to hydrological models in non-gauged regions.

Abstract

Snake venom is increasingly recognised in biomedical research as a potential source of relevant proteins that are still relatively unknown in various species. In this experiment, we performed proteomic quantification and identification of the venomic profile of three viper taxa: Montivipera blugardaghica subsp. bulgardaghica (MB), Vipera ammodytes subsp. montandoni (VA) and Vipera kaznakovi (KV); and compared the performance of three peptide identification software: PEAKS, MaxQuant and Proteome Discoverer. Overall, PEAKS identified 19 unique proteins (19 in MB, 11 in VA and 19 for KV) and 125 unique peptides (55 in MB, 35 in VA and 63 for KV); MaxQuant identified 577 unique proteins (234 in MB, 275 in VA and 297 for KV) and 1233 unique peptides (518 in MB, 647 in VA and 642 for KV); Proteome Discoverer identified 621 unique proteins (310 in MB, 248 for VA and 346 for VK) and 1657 unique peptides (894 in MB, 830 in VA and 1041 for VK). The three software shared 5 identified proteins and 67 peptides; PEAKS shared 6 proteins and 69 peptides with MaxQuant and 6 proteins and 79 peptides with Proteome Discoverer; MaxQuant shared 139 proteins and 781 peptides with Proteome Discoverer. All identified proteins were categorised into families for each taxon and then compared with the existing literature. This revealed significant discrepancies in the results between the software and the reviewed literature. Overall, PEAKS performed very poorly, while MaxQuant and Proteome Discoverer performed best for both protein and peptide identification, with the latter software being particularly noteworthy.
Weak emissive D-O-A organic phosphor: exceptional matrix-free sensitization in MR-TADF OLEDs

Published: November 2024

Abstract

D-O-A organic phosphors showing strong aggregation-induced room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have been successfully demonstrated as the ideal matrix-free sensitizers for MR-TADF OLEDs. However, weak emissive ones still remain unexplored according to a habitual thinking that the best sensitizer should be the best emitter. Herein, a poor RTP emitter named RTP-D3 is newly developed based on carbazole as the donor, triazine as the acceptor and oxygen as the bridge. In spite of the extremely low photoluminescence quantum yield, RTP-D3 can sensitize the terminal MR-TADF molecules effectively and universally because of favored intermolecular interactions and thus a balanced charge transport. Consequently, high performance sky-blue, green and red narrowband electroluminescence is realized together with a state-of-art external quantum efficiency of 22.2% (49.2 cd/A, 55.2 lm/W), 31.5% (105.1 cd/A, 113.9 lm/W) and 29.7% (55.4 cd/A, 66.9 lm/W) as well as Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.12, 0.48), (0.26, 0.70) and (0.61, 0.39), respectively. The exceptional results break a conventional blind spot about RTP sensitizer, highlighting that the less emissive D-O-A organic phosphors are also suitable for the best matrix-free sensitization in MR-TADF OLEDs.
The Relationship between Bank Credit and Economic Growth in Vietnam
Authors: Duc Huu 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

This research investigates how commercial bank credit to the private sector influences economic growth in Vietnam from a supply-side perspective. Using Johansen co-integration and Error Correction Models on time series data from 2005 to 2021, the study finds that bank credit positively affects Vietnamese economic growth in the long term. However, in the short term, there is a feedback effect from economic growth to private sector credit. Specifically, a 1 percentage point increase in real private sector credit leads to a 0.40 percentage point rise in real GDP in the long run. These results suggest that policymakers should prioritize long-term strategies to foster economic growth, such as developing a modern banking sector, creating an efficient financial market, and improving infrastructure to boost private sector credit, which is crucial for long-term growth.

Abstract

Objective:
To compare the ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels in the serum and follicular fluid of infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and without PCOS, and their IVF outcomes.
Material and Method:
We conducted a prospective cohort study with patients undergoing IVF treatment at Ege University IVF Center during 2021 and 2023. Blood and follicular fluid samples were collected from a total of 113 infertile women with PCOS (n = 56) and without PCOS (n = 57). The samples were centrifuged and stored at -80 0C at the Ege University Department of Biochemistry laboratories. The serum and follicular fluid IMA levels of these patients and their IVF outcomes were compared.
Results:
No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups when compared for mean age, body mass index (BMI) and duration of infertility (p = 0.075, 0.073 and 0.479 respectively). The IVF results showed statistically significant differences. Although the number of oocytes retrieved and number of embryos were higher in the PCOS group (p value < 0.001 and 0.013, respectively), the recombinant FSH dose used for ovulation induction was lower in PCOS group (p < 0.001) than non-PCOS group. Serum IMA levels in PCOS patients were found to be lower than the control group, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.16). Follicular fluid IMA values were found to be lower in the PCOS group than the control group, while the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.031). Considering the pregnancy results, biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and ongoing pregnancy rates in the non-PCOS group was higher than the PCOS group, although the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.08, 0.29, 0.18 respectively).
Conclusion:
The results of studies comparing serum IMA values of PCOS and non-PCOS cases are conflicting. In our study, we found that the serum and follicular fluid IMA levels in non-PCOS group were higher than the PCOS group. Biochemical, clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates were found higher in the non-PCOS group when compared to the PCOS group.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

The increasing sophistication of malicious software means the need of the development of advanced detection mechanisms capable of addressing encrypted and obfuscated threats. The Synthetic Execution Mapping (SEM) framework leverages novel techniques to simulate and analyze the execution dynamics of malicious code within a controlled environment. Behavioral patterns, reconstructed through graph-based algorithms and entropy-based analysis, enable the identification of operational anomalies indicative of malicious activity. Probabilistic modeling enhances detection accuracy through the prediction of execution behaviors across a wide range of scenarios. The framework demonstrates high adaptability in identifying polymorphic threats, achieving significant reductions in false-positive rates across diverse environments. Modular and scalable design elements support seamless integration into enterprise systems, ensuring efficient processing of large datasets without compromising performance. Experimental evaluations confirm the robustness of SEM, with consistent detection accuracy exceeding 90\% across ransomware families. Computational efficiency and low memory overhead highlight its suitability for real-world applications where resource constraints often limit the efficacy of traditional methodologies. Insights from entropy variation and execution path analysis provide a comprehensive understanding of operational strategies used in malicious campaigns. Integration with dynamic monitoring tools further enhances the framework’s potential for proactive threat management. Through its innovative approach, SEM addresses critical gaps in the detection landscape and offers a viable solution for countering evolving threats. The framework lays the groundwork for future advancements in automated threat detection, demonstrating its practical value in mitigating cybersecurity risks.

СЕВЕР ЕВРАЗИИВ СРЕДНЕВЕКОВОЙАРАБСКОЙ ГЕОГРАФИИ
Authors: И.Г. Коновалова 
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются сообщения арабских географов IX–XIV вв. о крайнем севере Евразийского континента и о пути по северным морям из Европы в Китай и обратно. Анализ сведений арабских ученых в контексте античной географической традиции о северных районах ойкумены позволяет выявить как их источники, так и пути дальнейшего развития представлений, заимствованных исламскими географами у античных авторов. В сообщениях арабских географов прослеживаются две линии, обе из которых развивают идеи античной географии. Первая из них продолжает традицию Птолемея, полагавшего, что моря, которые омывают северо-западную часть Евразии, не соединялись с морями, расположенными на востоке. В наиболее последовательном виде эти представления развивались в рамках математического (астрономического) направления арабской географии. Ученые же, работавшие в жанре описательной географии, опирались на другую античную традицию, согласно которой земля была со всех сторон окружена океаном, что делало возможным плавание по северным морям из Китая в Европу и обратно. Предпринятая ал-Идриси попытка внесения птолемеевских идей в жанр описательной географии привела к тому, что и в текстовой части сочинения, и на картах ал-Идриси изображение морей Северной Евразии приобрело противоречивый характер, то допуская возможность прямого маршрута по северным морям, то, напротив, исключая ее.
The paper deals with the messages of Arab geographers of the IXth – XIVth centuries on the extreme north of the Eurasian continent and on the way by the northern seas from Europe to China and back. Analysis of the messages of the Arab scholars in the context of Ancient geographical tradition about the northern parts of the ecumene allows to reveal their sources, and the further development of ideas borrowed by Islamic geographers from the writings of Ancient authors. Reports of Arab geographers allow to trace two lines, both of which develop the ideas of Ancient geography. The first one continues the tradition of Ptolemy, who believed that the sea that washed the north-western part of Eurasia, was not connected with the seas, located in the east of the continent. The most consistent form of these ideas was developed in the framework of mathematical (astronomical) direction of the Arab geography. In contrast, representatives of the genre of descriptive geography relied on another ancient tradition according to which the earth was surrounded on all sides by the ocean, making it possible to sail through the northern seas from China to Europe and back. An attempt undertaken by al-Idrisi to introduce Ptolemaic ideas into the genre of descriptive geography has led to the fact that both in the text of al-Idrisi and on his maps the image of the seas of Northern Eurasia has become controversial, sometimes allowing the possibility of a direct route through the northern seas, or on the contrary, sometimes excluding it.
ИДЕНТИТАРНЫЕ ПРОЦЕССЫ В СРЕДНЕВЕКОВОМ УЭЛЬСЕТЕРМИНОЛОГИЯ, ДИСКУРСЫ И СИТУАЦИЯ БИЛИНГВИЗМА
Authors: С.Е. Федоров 
Published: November 2024

Статья посвящена анализу идентитарных процессов, протекавших в средневековом Уэльсе в условиях активного для местного населения билингвизма. Автор стремится определить семантическое поле обозначения «Kymry», а также используемых за пределами этой традиции латинских определений. Обращая внимание на полисемию термина, автор подчеркивает наличие тенденции на последовательное разграничение вернакулярных и ориентированных на латинские определения языковых ресурсов и как результат – формирующихся на их основе дискурсов. Практики, отталкивавшиеся от такого разграничения, акцентировали его как принципиальное, но неизбежно адаптировались к условиям активного для этого региона двуязычия. В основанных на противоположных приоритетах дискурсах возникали поясняющие такие разграничения лексические комбинации, а традиции в свою очередь могли переплетаться. Когда такого рода пояснения несли в себе значения внешнего характера (к примеру, производную от wēalas терминологию), возникающий таким образом эффект свидетельствовал о дискурсивной аккультурации образованной части туземного населения, но не затрагивал при этом свойственные «валлийскому» дискурсу бриттские акценты.
The evidence of written records and literary texts reveals a complex network of cultural and linguistic negotiations in Medieval Wales and England, in which the terms of ethnicity and subsequent discourses were formed and furthered. Diglossic combinations played a role of a crucial indicator of binary split between the vernacular and Latin languages resources. Bilingualism, which indicates the native viewpoint on ethnicity and occupied territory, is hard to separate from a more general historical context where instead of the absent terms “Wales” and “the Welsh” prevailed the “Britain” and the “Britons”. Aimed at analysis of the semantic field of “Kymry”, the article concentrates on formation of both the vernacular and Latin discourses and shows how through their interaction its meaning was crystalized. Treating British rhetoric as pervading much of the corpus of vernacular literature, the author underlines that ethnic and territorial definitions became clearer only after an introduction of wēalas based terminology. Limited to the exterior discourse these clarified meanings were not overriding and did not cross its line.
ОБРАЗЫ ВЕЧНОГО В РАННЕЙ ГРЕЧЕСКОЙ МЫСЛИ
Authors: А.А. Плешков 
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются ключевые образы вечного, характерные для ранней греческой мысли: время богов, темпоральный статус закономерностей природы, мемориализация славных деяний прошлого. Наряду с философскими фрагментами анализируются поэтические, исторические, драматические произведения, в которых впервые была артикулирована проблематика временно́го и вечного. Экспликация и анализ этих образов представляется весьма важной задачей как для общего понимания картины мира древних греков, так и для дальнейшей разработки проблематики вечного в рамках философии, истории идей и интеллектуальной истории.
The article discusses the key images of eternal which are typical for early Greek thought: the time of gods, the temporal status of the laws of nature, and the memorialization of the glorious deeds of the past. Along with the philosophical fragments, poetic, historical, and dramatic works are analyzed. Here the problematics of temporality and eternity was articulated for the first time. Thus, the explication of inherent images of eternal is extremely important for an understanding of ancient Greeks’ worldview, and for the further development of the concept of eternity in philosophy, history of ideas and intellectual history.

Published: November 2024

В статье исследуется масонская деятельность предпринимателя и политика А.И. Коновалова (1875–1948). Особое внимание уделяется верификации факта его участия в масонстве, причинам вступления в ложу и характеру участия в ней. Сделан вывод, что, вступая в масонскую ложу Коновалов стремился создать единый антиправительственный блок. Масонство в России накануне Февральской революции позволяло на нейтральной платформе и в условиях конспирации координировать деятельность оппозиции. Но уход от морально-этических исканий в сторону политической борьбы обусловил непризнание российского масонства братствами в других странах.
The article explores masonic activities of businessman and politician A.I. Konovalov (1875–1948). A good deal of attention is paid to the verification of the fact of his joining the Masons, reasons to join the lodge and the character of his participation. It has been concluded that when he joined the lodge, Konovalov’s intention was to create a united block opposed to the government. At the eve of the February Revolution, Russian freemasonry provided a neutral platform for the secret coordination of the actions of the opposition. However, the rejection of moral and ethical questions in favour of political agenda led to the situation when Russian masons were not recognized by freemasons in other countries.

Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается миф о Персефоне в контексте социокультурных связей древнегреческого общества и общей теории мифологии, разработанной разными школами в рамках изучения феномена мифа. Образ Персефоны играл не только важнейшую роль в Элевсинских таинствах, олицетворяя отношение к смерти и надежду на будущее бессмертие, но и служил центральным звеном взаимосвязи микрокосмоса и макрокосмоса, мира людей и мира богов. Отмечается, что образ Персефоны «очеловечивал» отношения между богами, проецируя на них культурные ценности эпохи, такие как отношение к рождению и смерти, взаимоотношение между родителями и детьми, семейные ценности, установление социальных структур.
The article deals with the myth of Persephone, in the context of social and cultural relations of ancient Greek society and the general theory of mythology developed by various schools in the study of the phenomenon of myth. The author shows that the image of Persephone played not only a major role in the Eleusinian mysteries, personifying the attitude toward death and the hope of future immortality, but also served as a central element of the relationship of the world of men and the world of the gods. It is noted that the image of Persephone "humanize" the relationship between the gods, projecting to them the cultural values of the era, such as the relation to the birth and death, the relationship between parents and children, family values, the establishment of social structures.
