Authors: AKCA Ümit , DEMİR Sertan 
Published: March 2024

Çalgı kullanımı insanoğlunun müziği keşfettiği andan itibaren gelişerek ve değişerek günümüze kadar süregelmiştir. Bu kullanımların neticesinde farklı çalgılar ortaya çıkmıştır. Yay ile çalınanların “ıklığ”, parmak/tezene ile çalınanların ise “kopuz” olarak adlandırılması şeklinde olmuştur. Kopuz Asya kökenli bir çalgı olup bağlamanın atası olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bağlama, Asya kültüründen gelen ve Anadolu’ya yayılan bir çalgıdır. Türk kültüründe ve özellikle Türk halk müziğinin temel çalgısı olan bağlama, yapısal olarak geçmişten günümüze kadar birçok değişim ve gelişim geçirmiştir. Elektro bağlama, eşik altı bağlama vd. bağlamanın sahnede kullanımına dair geçirdiği değişimlerin sonucu ve göstergesidir. Son dönemlerde eşik altı, elektro vs. diye tabir edilen bağlamalar bulunmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra ihtiyaca ve ortama göre bağlamaya eklenen elektronik cihazlar bulunmaktadır. Bu cihazlara efekt veya prosesör denilmektedir. Bu çalışma ile bağlamada efekt/prosesör cihazları kullanımı konusunda bir farkındalık yaratmak amaçlanmış ve bu bağlamda geleneksel bağlama icracılığının Türk kültüründe önemli olduğu yansıtılmaya çalışılmıştır. “Bağlamada Prosesör/Efekt cihazı Kullanımının Bağlamanın Geleneksel İcrasına Etkisi” başlığı altında, konuyla ilgili literatür taranmış, kişisel görüşme ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği uygulanmıştır. Bağlamada prosesör/efekt cihazı kullanımının bağlamanın geleneksel icra ve tınısına olan etkisinin araştırılacağı bu çalışmada kişisel görüşme, literatür tarama yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bağlama icrası, bağlama eğitimi alanında “usta” sayılabilecek isimlerle yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış kişisel görüşmeler, bağlamanın ve efekt/prosesör tarihçesinin anlatıldığı tarama literatür kısmı çalışmanın yöntemidir. Bu yöntem dahilinde yapılan kişisel görüşmeler ile elde edilen veriler çalışmanın sınırlılığını oluşturmaktadır. Tüm bu veriler ve bulgular ışığında sonuca ulaşılmıştır.
Prosesör/efekt cihazının ve bağlamanın tarihçesinin ardından yapılan kişisel görüşlerde elde edilen bulgular ışığındaki değerlendirmeler sonuç kısmında yer almıştır.

Türk Mitolojik Destanlarında Sualtı Dünyası adlı eserde isminden de anlaşılacağı üzere anlatılarda fantastik bir mekân olarak tasavvur edilen sualtı dünyası ve o dünyanın motifleri incelenmiştir. Birçok araştırmaya konu olmasından ötürü Türk anlatılarında yeryüzü, yeraltı ve gökyüzü dünyalarının birer mekân olarak geçtiği iyice bilinmektedir. Bu mekânlardan yeryüzü, orta dünya olarak da bilinmekte; burada insan, hayvan, cin, peri ve dev gibi varlıkların yaşadığı anlatılmaktadır. Yeraltı dünyası, aşağı dünya olarak da bilinmekte; burada şeytani ve kötü ruh gibi varlıkların yaşadığı anlatılmaktadır. Gökyüzü dünyası, yukarı dünya olarak da bilinmekte; burada tanrı, melek ve iyi ruh gibi varlıkların yaşadığı anlatılmaktadır. Türk anlatılarında bir mekân olarak sualtı dünyası, bu üç dünyaya göre fazla geçmese de böyle bir dünyanın varlığı çeşitli yönleriyle incelenerek Karagöz’ün bu eserinde ortaya konulmuş ve literatüre dâhil edilerek daha bilinir hâle getirilmiştir.
Karagöz, eserinin ön sözünde bu konuyu 2009 yılında yüksek lisans tezi olarak hazırlayıp sunduğunu ve zamanla bu çalışmasının bir hayli popülerleşmesinden dolayı da kitaplaştırmaya karar verdiğinin açıklamasını yapmıştır. Karagöz, yine burada tez çalışmasının tamamını basımdan önce titizlikle gözden geçirdiğini, bazı düzeltme, ekleme ve çıkarmalar yaptığını belirtmiştir.
Camouflage in popular culture, fashion and accessory design in India
Authors: Hadap Nitin , Palsodkar Charuta 
Published: March 2024

This article postulates that recent generations in India, particularly the middle and upper-middle classes, have experienced increased wealth due to the government’s open market policy, introduced after 1991. As a result of this improved financial situation, these consumers are now able to purchase affordable luxury goods. One notable trend emerging from this development is the rise in popularity of camouflage patterns in fashion and accessories. These patterns evoke emotions of military association, rebellion, strength, durability, ruggedness and a sense of distinctiveness from the rest of society. Surprisingly, even though camouflage is intended to conceal and blend in with surroundings, it has become a prominent aspect of popular culture in India. The younger generation aspires to stand out and possess larger-than-life personalities, perhaps influenced by the impact of globalization. Various audio-visual media, such as sci-fi literature and superheroes depicted on over-the-top (OTT) platforms contribute significantly to this trend, with fashion statements playing a crucial role in shaping these perceptions. In response to such demand, even international brands have started producing products featuring camouflage patterns for the Indian market. The widespread popularity of camo fashion and accessories can be observed in almost all public spaces across India.
The primary focus of this article is on exploring the popularity of camouflage in fashion accessories, design and trends by studying consumers’ preferences for leading global and local brands. Through a comprehensive literature review, a research gap in this area has been identified. The study concentrates on fashion accessories in India and takes a perspective of percolation of camouflage in the fashion market. The methodology involves the study of primary and secondary sources for documentation, and a survey was conducted to gain insights into consumers’ perspectives. By conducting a literature review and a thorough data analysis, the article reaches its conclusions.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
In 2021, there were about 17,000 victims of human trafficking in the United States. We present a case of a 28-year-old sex trafficking victim who was forced to swallow 2 global positioning system trackers by her perpetrator. The gastroenterology team performed an upper endoscopy and retrieved 2 global positioning system devices from her antrum. Most of these victims do not disclose any history of abuse because of fear of their perpetrators. Further training and research can help to allow for recognition of these victims and potentially help them.

AbstractThis study compared the structural and cellular skeletal muscle factors underpinning adaptations in maximal strength, power, aerobic capacity, and lean body mass to a 12‐week concurrent resistance and interval training program in men and women. Recreationally active women and men completed three training sessions per week consisting of high‐intensity, low‐volume resistance training followed by interval training performed using a variety upper and lower body exercises representative of military occupational tasks. Pre‐ and post‐training vastus lateralis muscle biopsies were analyzed for changes in muscle fiber type, cross‐sectional area, capillarization, and mitochondrial biogenesis marker content. Changes in maximal strength, aerobic capacity, and lean body mass (LBM) were also assessed. Training elicited hypertrophy of type I (12.9%; p = 0.016) and type IIa (12.7%; p = 0.007) muscle fibers in men only. In both sexes, training decreased type IIx fiber expression (1.9%; p = 0.046) and increased total PGC‐1α (29.7%, p < 0.001) and citrate synthase (11.0%; p < 0.014) content, but had no effect on COX IV content or muscle capillarization. In both sexes, training increased maximal strength and LBM but not aerobic capacity. The concurrent training program was effective at increasing strength and LBM but not at improving aerobic capacity or skeletal muscle adaptations underpinning aerobic performance.
Maternal Labour Supply and School Enrolment Laws: Empirical Evidence from Brazilian Primary School Reforms

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The relationship between childcare provision and mothers’ labour supply decisions is highly debated due to the potential reverse causality and resultant empirical challenges. We contribute meaningfully to this debate by discussing the effects from a reform on Brazil’s primary education system on maternal labour supply. This reform, which advanced the compulsory children’s enrolment in primary education schools from the age of 7–6, is interpreted as the provision of free childcare. Due to the imperfect compliance of the reform implementation, children’s month of birth is used as an instrumental variable to control for the endogeneity present in any actual school enrolment. We show that the reform presented a positive effect on the labour supply of (1) the Brazilian single mothers and (2) the least educated mothers, increasing their participation in labour market by 12.9 % and furthermore a probability of becoming full time workers by 10.9 %.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objectives
In this study, we developed a machine learning approach for postoperative corneal endothelial cell images of patients who underwent Descemet’s membrane keratoplasty (DMEK).

Methods
An AlexNet model is proposed and validated throughout the study for endothelial cell segmentation and cell location determination. The 506 images of postoperative corneal endothelial cells were analyzed. Endothelial cell detection, segmentation, and determining of its polygonal structure were identified. The proposed model is based on the training of an R-CNN to locate endothelial cells. Next, by determining the ridges separating adjacent cells, the density and hexagonality rates of DMEK patients are calculated.

Results
The proposed method reached accuracy and F1 score rates of 86.15 % and 0.857, respectively, which indicates that it can reliably replace the manual detection of cells in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). The AUC score of 0.764 from the proposed segmentation method suggests a satisfactory outcome.

Conclusions
A model focused on segmenting endothelial cells can be employed to assess the health of the endothelium in DMEK patients.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Porous molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microspheres were synthesized via iniferter-suspension polymerization method, employing lenacil (LA) as the template molecule and methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer. The host–guest complexes formed using LA and MAA were characterized by hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance and ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy. The obtained results showed that the interaction between LA and MAA mainly relied on hydrogen bonding. The surface morphologies and chemical structures of the MIPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. MIPs were spherical in shape with a relatively regular sphericity, rough surface structure, and numerous small holes, which significantly reduced the mass transfer resistance of the template molecules and exhibited excellent recognition performance for template molecules. In addition, soil samples were pretreated with solid-phase extraction columns molecularly imprinted with LA, and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The recoveries of LA, bromacil, and terbacil were up to 89.65%, 53.17%, and 44.63%, respectively. The developed method showed a minimum detection limit of 10–50 µg·mL−1. In view of the continuous increase of public requirements for pesticide residue detection, a versatile pretreatment method was developed that is green, rapid, simple, and can be miniaturized.

Abstract
Late Paleozoic plutons are widely distributed in the Alxa region, southernmost Central Asian Orogenic Belt, and provided an important clue in constraint for the closing time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO). In this article, we present new zircon U-Pb ages and whole-rock geochemical data from the Permian Huoersen and Zongnaishan plutons in the southern Alxa region. The Huoersen gabbro (ca. 285 Ma) is enriched in large-ion lithophile elements and depleted in high-field strength elements, similar to the features of continental marginal arc. They were most likely generated by partial melting of depleted mantle that was modified by subduction metasomatic fluids. The Zongnaishan granites (ca. 267 Ma) show characteristics of I-type granites and were generated in a syn-collision setting. The Huoersen granites (ca. 259 Ma) are peralkaline and have positive Ɛ
Nd(t) (+1.2 to +1.5) values, exhibiting A2-subtype granites affinities. They were formed by melting of lower crust in post-collision extension setting. Based on geodynamic mechanism, a three-stage evolution model is delineated: subduction, syn-collision to post-collisional extension for oceanic branch of the PAO during the Permian. In general, the rock assemblages indicate a tectonic switch from subduction to post-collision extension regimes and the final closure of the PAO.

Abstract
In order to clarify effects of different fungal strains on fermented tiger nut paste enzyme activities and volatile flavor compounds composition, koji enzyme activities and volatile flavor substances of six tiger nut paste preparations (S1–S6) were compared. The results revealed that koji enzyme activities of S4, S5 and S6 were significantly higher than corresponding activities of S1, S2 and S3. Among them, S4 exhibited the highest enzyme activity levels for cellulase, xylanase, acid protease, glucosidase, and amylase. GC-MS analysis of the six paste preparations detected 43 volatile components, including 17 aldehydes, 8 alkenes, 4 heterocyclics, 2 ketones, 2 phenols and 7 other types of compounds. Notably, S4 had the most volatile compounds (28), including 5 volatile compounds which were not detected in the other tiger nut pastes. Results of principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) revealed differences in levels of 17 volatile flavor substances among the six tiger nut paste preparations. Notably, PLS-DA results achieved more significant separation and stronger clustering trends when used to discriminate among volatile flavor substances of paste preparations fermented using single-strain starters (S1, S2, S3) versus double-strain starters (S4, S5, S6) consisting of Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger and/or Mucor. The tiger nut paste (S4) prepared by mixed fermentation of A. oryzae and A. niger had a unique flavor, producing the highest enzyme activity and a wider variety of volatile flavor compounds. Therefore, the production of tiger nut paste through compound strain koji fermentation was a feasible strategy.
A new approach of multi-dimensional correlation as a separability measure of multiple outliers in GNSS applications
Authors: Almagbile Ali 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Detecting and identifying outliers/failures in GNSS measurements has garnered significant attention among researchers aiming to enhance the quality of GNSS positioning and navigation. This study delves into the analysis of the separability of multiple outliers when single, double, and triple outliers occur in single-point positioning (SPP) measurements. To achieve this, a novel method includes introducing a multi-dimensional correlation coefficient among test statistics. This coefficient functions as a measure of outliers separability and, in turn, assesses the possible impact of outliers on other measurements. This multi-dimensional correlation approach is based on a nested correlation (

ρ

nested

θ
,
φ

${\rho }_{\text{nested}}^{\theta ,\varphi }$

) that explains the variations in test statistic values with and without common measurements in two pairs/combinations. The performance of the

ρ

nested

θ
,
φ

${\rho }_{\text{nested}}^{\theta ,\varphi }$

is then compared with other two existing methods of multi-dimensional correlation namely the maximum (

ρ

θ
,
φ

${\rho }_{\mathrm{max}}^{\theta ,\varphi }$

) and global (

ρ

θ
,
φ

${\rho }_{\text{Global}}^{\theta ,\varphi }$

) correlation. The results show that under the presence of two outliers and with and without common measurements in two pairs, the

ρ

nested

θ

${\rho }_{\text{nested}}^{\theta }$

outperforms the,

ρ

max

θ

${\rho }_{\mathrm{max}}^{\theta }$

and

ρ

Global

θ

${\rho }_{\text{Global}}^{\theta }$

exhibiting a determination coefficient (R
2) value of approximately 0.95 and 0.62 respectively. The results furthermore reveal that for three outliers and with one, two, and noncommon measurements intersecting between two combinations, the values of R
2 are 0.62, 0.96, and 0.34. respectively. This means that the

ρ

nested

,
φ

${\rho }_{\text{nested}}^{\theta ,\varphi }$

can explain the variations in outlier test statistic values particularly in the case that common measurements appear in two pairs/combinations.
Alzheimer’s disease and clinical trials

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is spreading its root disproportionately among the worldwide population. Many genes have been identified as the hallmarks of AD. Based upon the knowledge, many clinical trials have been designed and conducted. Attempts have been made to alleviate the pathology associated with AD by targeting the molecular products of these genes. Irrespective of the understanding on the genetic component of AD, many clinical trials have failed and imposed greater challenges on the path of drug discovery. Therefore, this review aims to identify research and review articles to pinpoint the limitations of drug candidates (thiethylperazine, CT1812, crenezumab, CNP520, and lecanemab), which are under or withdrawn from clinical trials. Thorough analysis of the cross-talk pathways led to the identification of many confounding factors, which could interfere with the success of clinical trials with drug candidates such as thiethylperazine, CT1812, crenezumab, and CNP520. Though these drug candidates were enrolled in clinical trials, yet literature review shows many limitations. These limitations raise many questions on the rationale behind the enrollments of these drug candidates in clinical trials. A meticulous prior assessment of the outcome of clinical studies may stop risky clinical trials at their inceptions. This may save time, money, and resources.
A novel experimental method for measuring the direct tensile strength of concrete
Authors: Merabet Oussama , Bentchikou Mohamed , Amoura Nasreddine , Elshafie Ahmed 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This study deals with the development of a load-converting device designed for measuring the direct tensile strength of the concrete. In this regard, a new testing technique based on a novel testing device and modified cylindrical (Ø 100 × 200) molds for the preparation of concrete samples is explained. The embedded rod method was adopted to transmit the uniaxial tensile load to the specimens using the universal compression machine and the current converting device. In order to examine the reliability of the suggested test method, a comparison with indirect tensile methods (splitting and three-point loading flexural tests) was made. The results show that the tensile strength of the tested specimens is lower for the direct tensile test obtained by the proposed test setup than for the flexural test and closer to the strength results obtained from the splitting test. As expected, all the specimens tested using the introduced test method demonstrated a sudden and unique fracture in the middle portion. Additionally, no slippage of embedded bars was noticed during the test.

Abstract
Sweetpotato is the second most important root crop in Ethiopia, making an important contribution to food security in the densely populated areas of southern Ethiopia. While the white-fleshed sweetpotato (WFSP) varieties have been widely grown, the recently bred pro-vitamin A orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties are also gaining popularity nationwide. This study evaluated on-farm performances of five new OFSP varieties along with two previously released “check” varieties, one of which is a WFSP, across 13 locations in southern Ethiopia for 2 consecutive seasons (2017 and 2018) with the objective of selecting farmer preferred varieties. The experimental design used was randomized complete block design. Results revealed highly significant differences (p < 0.05) among the tested varieties for all parameters considered. Overall, the new varieties were superior to the check varieties for most of the parameters considered. Kulfo, the OFSP check and the only OFSP variety under production, was inferior in above-ground biomass yield, taste, vegetative, and physical root quality performance. There was a strong negative correlation between altitude and root yields, with the highest root yields being in areas 1,500–1,650 m above sea level. The new varieties were accepted by the farmers due to their better yields, adaptability to the local agro-ecological conditions, and high dry matter content. The results of this study implied that the conventional variety evaluations should be complemented by farmers' participatory processes to ensure the release of acceptable varieties targeting both food security and marketability.
