Öğrencilerin “Süs Bitkisi” Tanımı ve İşlevselliği Üzerindeki Algıları: Siirt Üniversitesi Örneği
Authors: ÇIĞ Arzu , MIKAIL Nazire 
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmada 2019 yılı içerisinde, Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde Siirt ilinde yer alan ve ilin tek yükseköğretim kurumu olan Siirt Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin süs bitkisi tanımı ve işlevselliği üzerindeki algıları ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 304 öğrenciye anket yapılmıştır. 47 sorudan oluşan anketin araştırma konusu süs bitkilerinin Siirt Üniversitesi öğrencileri tarafından tanınırlığı, işlevleri ve kullanım alanları hakkındaki düşünceleri ve beklentilerinin tespit edilmesidir. Bölge halkının sosyo-ekonomik durumundan dolayı diğer tarımsal ürünler kadar yetiştiriciliği ve tüketimi/kullanımı olmayan süs bitkilerine dikkat çekmek için yapılan bu çalışmaya göre öğrencilerin çoğunluğu önceden süs bitkisi yetiştirmemiştir ve satın almamıştır. %32.1 öğrenci ilgisiz olduğu, %22.6’sı ise bitkiler hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığı için satın almamıştır. Satın alanların %65 kadarı da yılda bir kez satın alma gerçekleştirmiştir. Satın alma için çiçekçiler tercih edilmiştir. Özel günlerde ve kutlamalarda en çok saksılı ve çiçekli bitki ile buket/demet gibi kesme çiçekler talep edilmiştir. Mezarlık ziyaretinde dış mekân süs bitkisi olan çam, gül gibi fidan şeklinde satılan çok yıllık bitkileri tercih eden öğrenciler %39.4, kesme çiçeği tercih edenler %27.1 oranındadır.
Öğrencilerin çoğu süs bitkileri kavramı altında saksılı bitkileri, saksılı çiçek açan bitkileri, çiçek açan soğanlı bitkileri, kesme çiçekleri, kuru çiçekleri ve yapay-plastik çiçekleri anlamış olup, ağaç ve çalı fidanlarını bu algının dışında tutmuşlardır. Ayrıca süs bitkilerinin meyve vermelerini, hızlı büyümelerini ve gölge oluşturmalarını göz ardı ederek bu tanımlamaya katılmamışlardır.
Bu çalışmanın sonucu ile genç nüfusu oluşturan öğrencilerin süs bitkileri kullanma ve satın almayı etkileyecek algıları ve farkındalıkları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Akademik olarak bilinçlenen gençlerin sosyoekonomik ve sosyokültürel olarak yeterli düzeye geldiklerinde bu tutumlarını tekrar gözden geçireceği, bölgedeki süs bitkisi sektörünün ise üretim ve satış alanında sonuçlardan çıkan eğilimlere göre strateji geliştireceği düşünülmektedir.

White Layer Formation During Nitriding/Nitrocarburizing: Function, Usefulness, and Variations for Electric Vehicles
Authors: Kalucki Jack , Hemsath Mark K. , Winter Karl Michael 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Gas nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing have seen tremendous growth. Today, it continues to accelerate as more uses are being found, especially in the growing electric vehicles (EV) sector. This success is due to the ability to control protective white layers consistent with the needs of an automotive engineer. Steels and cast irons are still the materials of choice for many applications and the nitrided layer is wellknown for its tribological features (some would say even more than three) which include wear resistance, lubricity, and a low coefficient of friction. Corrosion resistance in particular has become an important advantage and depends on white layer formation and quality. The white layer (known as the compound zone) consists of two iron nitrides, epsilon (Fe2-3[N]) and gamma prime (Fe4N). In addition, the epsilon layer can contain varying amounts of iron carbides and/or iron carbonitrides, Fe2-3[C]. This paper will focus mainly on the how’s and why’s of white layer: how to control its composition and properties; and how to minimize it, if required. Just as importantly, some applications of how the EV component engineers have found uses for this important steel treatment are discussed, including brake rotors.

Authors: MacKenzie D. Scott , Lasne Patrice 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Archaeological digs have found many types of knives, with varying quality of steel and microstructure. Typically, these steels are carbon steels with carbon contents on the order of 0.60%. Historically, there have been many myths concerning the quenchants used by ancient blacksmiths in the heat treatment of swords and knives. Various liquids have been cited in the archaeometallurgical literature as quenchants. Each of these quenchants is supposed to extend to the knife special and even mythical properties. However, none have been examined for cooling curve behavior. In this paper, various quenchants are examined for typical heat transfer, and microstructure is predicted for simple steels commonly used in ancient knife making.
Materials Model Development for AA6061 Aluminum
Authors: Meyer Jason , Li Charlie , Sims Justin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Aluminum alloy 6061 (AA6061) is widely used in industry due to its excellent formability, corrosion resistance, weldability, and strong mechanical properties after heat treatment. AA6061 is hardened through precipitation of alloying elements that act as blockers to dislocation paths in the individual aluminum grains, increasing mechanical performance. During artificial aging, these nano-scale precipitates combine and form the main hardening phase, β’’. The general heat treatment procedure for AA6061 follows a solution treatment, quench, and a direct artificial aging. The focus of this work is to develop the parameters for a materials model for AA6061 which can predict the material response to heat treatment by modeling the kinetics of precipitation formation and coarsening. This work uses data from publications found in the public domain to develop the solution kinetics, artificial aging and coarsening kinetics, and resulting mechanical properties. Another publication was used to validate the developed DANTE model by comparing hardness predictions to hardness obtained in an actual component.
The Repercussions of Russian and Ukrainian Conflict on Security of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: CEBOTARI Svetlana , BUCUCI Anatolie 
Published: October 2023

Republic of Moldova’s realistic analysis of its security is required to be addressed in terms of geopolitical and geographical position. However Moldova is a state of a geopolitical border, with direct border with the EU and NATO on the one hand and indirect with the Russian Federation, on the other hand. Thus, Moldova ‘s geopolitical position is totally different on the grounds that is in the area of vital geopolitical interests of the Russian Federation and also near other areas listed above. Moldova’sgeopolitical situation is disadvantaged in terms of perception that the Russian Federation has on the post- Soviet space (abroad), that are regarded as exclusive spheres of interest. The events in eastern part of Ukraine caused by Russian-Ukrainian contradictions have a direct impact on regional security. This article will analyze the impact of the Russian and Ukrainian crises on the security of the Republic of Moldova.
International Tourism and its Impact on World Politics and World Economy
Authors: Chitadze Nika 
Published: October 2023

International tourism is one of the most dynamically developing forms of international trade. In the economy of a particular country, it performs a number of important functions: it is a source of foreign exchange earnings and a means of providing employment for the population; contributes to the balance of payments; contributes to the diversification of the economy, providing stimulating effects on industries serving the tourism sector; increases the attractiveness of the country as a sphere of international entrepreneurship and business cooperation; creates incentives for the inflow of foreign capital into the national economy.
The main feature of international tourism is the crossing of state borders. The greater the differences between states, the greater the obstacles to the free movement of people. The simplification (tightening) of formalities has an impact on international tourist flows, providing (or, conversely, hindering) the movement of people. The complex and confusing procedure for issuing travel documents, violation of the deadlines for their consideration or arbitrary deviation, the introduction of severe restrictions on imports and currency exchanges, which determine the level of consumption of goods and services by tourists, do not contribute to the development of international tourism. From this point of view, customs declarations and inspections act as a deterrent and lead to a reduction in tourist trips.
Another feature of international tourism is economic in nature and is revealed through the impact it has on the country's balance of payments. Foreign tourists, paying for goods and services, ensure the flow of currency into the budget of the host country, thereby activating its balance of payments, which is why the reception of foreign tourists is called active tourism. On the other hand, the departure of tourists abroad is associated with an outflow of currency from their country of permanent residence. International payments for tourism operations of this kind are reflected in the liability of the balance of payments of the country supplying tourists, and tourism itself is characterized as passive. The division into active and passive, based on the characteristics of the reflection of the financial results of tourism activities in the balance of payments, is inherent only in international tourism and does not apply to domestic tourism.Keywords: Tourism, World Tourism Organization, Recreation, Visitor, Statistics, World Politics, World Economy

Published: October 2023

The object of research is the process of dewatering oil emulsions by using a hydrocyclone with forced flow rotation taking into account rheological properties.
The problem solved in the work is related to production, primary preparation and transportation of oils. The process of oil extraction is accompanied by saturation of the product with water, salts, mechanical particles and light fractions, which requires primary preparation of oil through multi-stage, sometimes long-term, low-productivity processing in order to separate the above-mentioned components. The water content of some deposits, especially marine deposits, is 80%, which makes the process of oil dehydration particularly important for preparing oil for transportation. Among the known methods of dewatering oil emulsions, such as settling, heat treatment, chemical treatment, electrodehydration and centrifugation, the last one allows to significantly influence the separation processes. The essence of the centrifugation process, consists in increasing the rotational speed of the particles of the dispersed phase by replacing the natural force of gravity with a more powerful centrifugal force. The density of water and mechanical impurities is higher than the density of oil, and particles under the action of centrifugal force are pressed against the wall and, coagulating, are removed through the flow separator.
In the course of the work, the main regularities of the process were determinedcentrifugation, namely the rate of sedimentation of the water fraction from the rheological parameters of the emulsion and the kinematic characteristics of the hydrocyclone with forced rotation of the flow. It was established that the dependence of the volume of the water fraction of the oil emulsion is a power function of the second order, and the rate is linear. The settling of a water particle has a linear dependence on the size of the particle. Speed The set speed of settling of water particles of an oil emulsion allows you to calculate the length of the turbine depending on the required performance, speed of rotation and rheological properties.
The developed theoretical provisions of the process of dewatering oil emulsions by using a hydrocyclone with forced rotation of the flow, taking into account the rheological properties, allow designing machines of this type for various conditions of oil production.
Perspectivas agroecológicas en torno a la producción. La mirada de las pequeñas productoras de Patagonia Norte
Authors: Rovaretti Georgina 
Published: October 2023

El artículo analiza la mirada de un grupo de mujeres norpatagónicas del paraje El Chaiful respecto a su actividad ganadera y agrícola. Se tomaron sus voces mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y observaciones participantes para luego construir seis categorías de análisis, mediante teoría fundamentada y análisis narrativo, a partir de las cuales se reflexiona sobre: animales, plantas, producción, trabajo, campo y emoción. Como resultado vemos que conceptos claves para la producción en El Chaiful son entendidos de diferentes maneras. En un intento de compresión, cada una de las categorías nos llevó a reflexionar sobre las bases de los saberes que entran en juego, incluido el conocimiento científico. A partir del desglose de los términos se reflejó la complejidad en lo productivo y el modo en que impacta lo vinculado a la identidad territorial. Para ello se tomaron elementos teóricos de ecofeminismo en diálogo con la agroecología, con el objetivo de entablar un genuino diálogo de saberes y abrir líneas de pensamiento en la construcción de una investigación e intervención agroecológica atenta a cuestiones de género.
TRADISI LAWA SAFAR DI NEGERI MORELLA, KECAMATAN LEIHITU KABUPATEN MALUKU TENGAH
Authors: Manilet Muhammad Saiful , Rajab H. Rajab 
Published: October 2023

Abstract : This research is about the Lawa Safar tradition, a term used by the Morella people to refer to the bath routine on the last Wednesday of Safar month in the Islamic calendar every year. Its aim is to find out its historical roots, analyze it from the aspects of Islamic law, and see the prospects for its development. This descriptive qualitative research relies on literature sources which are strengthened by interviews of ritual actors. From the analysis carried out, it is not certain when Lawa Safar began to be carried out, but as in other places that carry out a similar tradition, the Lawa Safar ritual is influenced by the assumption that Safar is the month of disaster. Lawa Safar is carried out as an effort to repel reinforcements', a prayer to save people from danger and disaster. There is nothing contrary to the teachings of Islam in the series of Lawa Safar rituals, therefore, this tradition can be maintained as one of the syiars of Islam. Moreover, with the status of Morella today as one of the main tourist destinations in Maluku, it is very possible for the Lawa Safar tradition to be developed into one of the annual religious tourism events.Abstrak : Penelitian ini tentang tradisi Lawa Safar, istilah yang digunakan oleh orang Morella untuk menyebut ritual mandi di Rabu terakhir bulan Safar dalam penanggalan Islam setiap tahun. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui akar sejarahnya, menganalisisnya dari aspek hukum Islam, dan melihat prospek pengembangannya. Tipe penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, data data diperoleh dari literatur pustaka dan hasil wawancara dari pelaku ritual. Dari analisis yang dilakukan, tidak diketahui dengan pasti kapan Lawa Safar mulai dilaksanakan, tapi seperti halnya di tempat-tempat lain yang melakukan tradisi serupa, ritual Lawa Safar dipengaruhi anggapan bahwa Safar adalah bulan datangnya bencana. Lawa Safar dilakukan sebagai upaya tolak bala’, doa untuk menghindarkan masyarakat dari bahaya dan bencana. Tak ada hal yang bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam dalam rangkaian ritual Lawa Safar, karena itu, tradisi ini dapat dipertahankan sebagai salah satu syiar Islam. Status negeri Morella sekarang sebagai salah satu tujuan utama wisatawan di Maluku, maka tradisi Lawa Safar sangat mungkin dikembangkan menjadi salah satu event wisata religi tahunan.
An agent-based multi-level model to study the spread of gonorrhea in different and interacting risk groups
Authors: Stolfi Paola , Vergni Davide , Castiglione Filippo 
Published: October 2023

IntroductionMathematical modeling has emerged as a crucial component in understanding the epidemiology of infectious diseases. In fact, contemporary surveillance efforts for epidemic or endemic infections heavily rely on mathematical and computational methods. This study presents a novel agent-based multi-level model that depicts the transmission dynamics of gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This infection poses a significant public health challenge as it is endemic in numerous countries, and each year sees millions of new cases, including a concerning number of drug-resistant cases commonly referred to as gonorrhea superbugs or super gonorrhea. These drug-resistant strains exhibit a high level of resistance to recommended antibiotic treatments.MethodsThe proposed model incorporates a multi-layer network of agents' interaction representing the dynamics of sexual partnerships. It also encompasses a transmission model, which quantifies the probability of infection during sexual intercourse, and a within-host model, which captures the immune activation following gonorrhea infection in an individual. It is a combination of agent-based modeling, which effectively captures interactions among various risk groups, and probabilistic modeling, which enables a theoretical exploration of sexual network characteristics and contagion dynamics.ResultsNumerical simulations of the dynamics of gonorrhea infection using the complete agent-based model are carried out. In particular, some examples of possible epidemic evolution are presented together with an application to a real case study. The goal was to construct a virtual population that closely resembles the target population of interest.DiscussionThe uniqueness of this research lies in its objective to accurately depict the influence of distinct sexual risk groups and their interaction on the prevalence of gonorrhea. The proposed model, having interpretable and measurable parameters from epidemiological data, facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the disease evolution.
