Psychiatric Effects of Brucellosis: A Little-Known Aspect of an Ancient Disease
Authors: Alkan Sevil , Sevik Ali Emre 
Published: October 2023

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that can lead to a variety of clinical manifestations. This disease, which is endemic in Mediterranean countries including Turkey, is of interest to many specialties due to its multisystem involvement. In this article, we aimed to investigate the lesser-known aspects of brucellosis by examining the psychiatric symptoms associated with this old and persistent disease, to review the published literature on a global level, and to reveal the contribution from our country. Beyond the physical burden of brucellosis, it is crucial to recognize and address the psychiatric effects that this disease can have on individuals. By raising awareness about the psychiatric aspects of brucellosis, healthcare providers can implement comprehensive care strategies that encompass both physical and mental health support. Integrating psychiatric assessment, counseling and appropriate pharmacological interventions is essential to reduce the negative psychiatric impact of brucellosis and promote holistic recovery. Once understood primarily as a physical disorder, the potential impact of brucellosis on mental health is now recognized. The psychiatric effects of brucellosis can range from mood disorders and cognitive impairment to psychotic symptoms and sleep disturbances. Understanding the mechanisms and risk factors underlying these psychiatric symptoms is vital for developing effective interventions and providing holistic care. By shedding light on this often-overlooked aspect of brucellosis, medical professionals can improve patient outcomes and enhance the quality of life of those affected by this infectious disease.

Dalam mencermati arah kebijakan sosial sebagai agenda mewujudkan kesejahteraan yang adil dan merata yang berorientasi pada manusia serasi dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang fokusnya adalah manusia dan kualitas kehidupannya baik sebagai individu maupun sebagai anggota masyarakat ke arah kemajuan dan perubahan sosial melalui proses pembangunan yang disebut kebijakan sosial. Kebijakan sosial merupakan ketetapan pemerintah yang dibuat untuk merespon isu-isu yang bersifat publik, yakni mengatasi masalah sosial atau memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat banyak diwujudkan dalam tiga kategori, yakni peraturan perundang-undangan, program pelayanan sosial, dan sistem perpajakan. Berdasarkan kategori ini, maka dapat dinyatakan bahwa setiap perundang-undangan, hukum atau peraturan di daerah yang menyangkut masalah dan kehidupan sosial adalah wujud dari kebijakan sosial, namun, tidak semua kebijakan sosial berbentuk perundang-undangan. (Suharto, 2005)
Melalui otonomi khusus di Aceh dalam mencapai kesejahteraan, maka dilakukanlah namanya pembangunan, proses untuk melakukan perubahan menuju peningkatan taraf hidup masyarakat, dari suatu keadaan dan kondisi kemasyarakatan tertentu kepada keadaan dan kondisi kemasyarakatan yang dianggap lebih baik atau lebih diinginkan. Siagian (1994) memberikan pengertian tentang pembangunan sebagai “suatu usaha atau rangkaian usaha pertumbuhan dan perubahan yang berencana dan dilakukan secara sadar oleh suatu bangsa, negara dan pemerintah, menuju modernitas dalam rangka pembinaan bangsa (national building)”.
Pada tingkat pelayanan sosial, terutama sektor pendidikan, kesehatan, dan peningkatan ekonomi masyarakat masih ditenmukan beberapa kekurangan. Termasuk belum ada upaya signifikan dalam perpajakan untuk biaya pembangunan sosial. Sehingga perlu dilakukan penajaman kebijakan sosial melalui penyusunan tindak lanjut UU, PP, dan Peraturan Daerah yang lebih mengutamakan pembangunan sosial, peningkatan pelayanan sosial, dan sumber pendapatan untuk membiayai pembangunan sosial tersebut.
INVESTIGATION OF HEAT TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FUEL FROM WOOD WASTE AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
Authors: Ivanova Irena , Russkova Irina 
Published: October 2023

In this article, some features of wood waste as a fuel are investigated, and their influence on the gasification process is assessed. Various thermal characteristics of prototype wood samples were studied and the composition of the working mass of fuel from wood waste (fuel chips and sawdust) was determined. The results of the research showed that wood waste differs from wood fuel only in an increased content of ash and moisture. A technique is proposed that determines the optimal value of the parameters of the combustion process and, first of all, the moisture content of the samples. This contributes to the production of high-calorific producer gas and reduces the cost of drying waste to a completely dry state.
Conclusions are drawn about the environmental friendliness and prospects for the use of wood waste as an alternative, efficient and environmentally friendly fuel.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN ECONOMIC AND MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR MONITORING THE TOTAL COST OF RISKS IN THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF INVESTMENT AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Authors: Astashenko Alexandra 
Published: October 2023

When managing the processes of implementing investment and construction projects, conditions of varying levels of uncertainty arise, giving rise to risky situations. Ignoring risk situations when implementing investment and construction projects leads to the emergence of risk combinations and increased risk costs and eliminating their consequences. Determining the risk intensity of a risk situation (combination) is becoming increasingly relevant; in this regard, the relevance of developing a model for monitoring the total cost of risks of investment and construction projects is increasing.
The purpose of the study is to develop an economic and mathematical model for monitoring the total cost of risks of investment and construction projects. It has been established that in the military sphere, the amount of material costs for product development is significantly influenced by risks associated with the internal and external environment. This article examines existing models of investment and construction projects and identifies their distinctive aspects. The novelty of the ongoing research lies in the author’s approach to developing a model for monitoring the total cost of risks at various stages of the life cycle of investment and construction projects. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of monitoring the total cost of risks of investment and construction projects at all stages of its life cycle, estimating, based on the proposed model, the final total cost of investment and construction projects by summing up all the total costs of risks of the stages of investment and construction projects. These measures are aimed at preventing a risk situation or risk combination and ensuring the implementation of investment and construction projects. A design-process approach to feasibility studies and process management of investment and construction projects is proposed.
Recommendations for applying the results obtained are the need to assess the total cost of risks of investment and construction projects at all stages of its life cycle in order to determine the source of its occurrence.

Authors: Akhunova Daria 
Published: October 2023

The article proposes the author's simulation model, which allows the decision maker to solve the problem of locating fire and rescue units in the study area. The model is based on mechanisms for finding optimal routes for fire and rescue units to reach the call site. The software implementation of the model allows you to visualize the study area, divided into many fragments, with a view to covering it with fire and rescue units, taking into account the possible delivery time of forces and equipment. When estimating the time for delivery of forces and equipment to places of possible incidents, the influence of external factors, such as road junctions, one-way roads, crossings, statistical traffic jams and road repairs, was taken into account.
The study was conducted in the city of Saint-Petersburg. As a result of the modeling, it was revealed that to fully cover the city territory, three new divisions are needed, and their locations were determined.

Published: October 2023

The article deals with development of the method for calculation of triangular weight coefficients in fuzzy problem of decision making. The study objective is to improve the accuracy of triangular weight coefficient determination. In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, a set of methods of scientific and empirical investigation: analysis and splitting of the problem into two tasks, methods of mathematical programming and fuzzy logic, method of comparison. The required weight coefficients are represented in a parametrical form with unlike fuzzy parameters which allowed for two tasks to be separated and formalized: determination of modal values and the task to determine fuzziness parameters. Both tasks have been formulated in terms of non-linear mathematical programming. The proposed method differs from the known ones by using the parameters of triangular numbers fuzziness as optimized variables which are assumed to be different for the left and right borders in all weight coefficients.
The proposed approach allowed for the accuracy of weight coefficients to be improved. The accuracy validation was conducted comparing with the known LLSM method on two matrices. The calculations have demonstrated that the integral absolute error of the proposed method more than twice smaller than that of the know method for each of the matrices.
ALGORITHM FOR MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS OF TEXT INFORMATION
Authors: Buinevich Mikhail , Yaroshenko Alexander 
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of formalization of requirements for various objects and systems. Such a rigorous recording of requirements will allow not only to form their necessary and sufficient set, but also to choose the optimal order of their fulfillment – that is, to solve the problem of ranking. For this purpose, a review of relevant scientific publications of Russian scientists is carried out, in which the point of view on the formal form of recording such requirements is presented. The results of the review are systematized in tabular form. All years of publications have a range of 15 years, the field of application of requirements presents a great variety from design of information systems and mechanical devices in spacecraft to educational planning, and the proposed forms of recording consist of separate formulas and text descriptions to full-fledged models and programming languages.
According to the results of the review, appropriate conclusions are drawn, namely the following: the relevance of the problem (at least for the last 15 years), the lack of quality solutions, a multitude of proposed forms of record with a small predominance of analytical models and programming languages, poor automation of work with requirements. It is concluded that there are no solutions, even potentially applicable for the formation of a system of requirements for information security of information systems in a unified notation. The necessity of creation of own mathematical toolkit is substantiated both for unified formalization of all requirements of various types and purposes, and for carrying out optimization measures over them on the choice of the list and order of execution. In conclusion the novelty of the conducted research, theoretical and practical significance of the work are indicated.

Authors: Oloyede IP  , Ekanem AM  , Eduwem DU  
Published: October 2023

Context: Paragonimiasis is one of the re-emerging neglected tropical diseases endemic in southern Nigeria. Its symptomology is similar to that of tuberculosis resulting in frequent cases of misdiagnosis
Objective: To determine the knowledge of clinicians in one of the endemic states in southern Nigeria on the cause and transmission of paragonimiasis.
Methods: A questionnaire based, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among Resident doctors in the departments of Internal medicine, Paediatrics, family medicine, community health and Obstetrics and gynaecology practising in University of Uyo Teaching Hospital. The doctors were consecutively recruited during their weekly academic training meetings in February 2020. Data was analysed using Stata version 10.
Results: A total of 61 respondents filled the questionnaires out of which 45 (73.8%) doctors admitted to have heard about the disease previously and the commonest source was from medical school in 29 (60.4%) of the respondents. Forty five (73.4%) respondents correctly identified the causative agent of paragonimiasis as a helminth. The top three symptoms identified by respondents were haemoptysis 37 (60.7%), cough 37 (60.7%) and chest pain 30 (49.2%). Seventeen (27.9%) respondents could correctly identify the sequelae of paragonimiasis. The confirmatory investigations requested for were stool analysis, sputum analysis by six (28%) and five (23.8%) respondents respectively. Nineteen (31.1%) respondents knew the correct mode of transmission and 23 (37.7%) respondents knew that paragonimiasis mimics TB. Only 3 (15%) respondents knew praziquantel as drug of choice. The majority 43 (70.5%) had never treated the condition. Only 21 (34.4%) of the respondents had a good level of knowledge of the symptoms of paragonimiasis.
Conclusion: This study has identified a knowledge gap in the aetiology, route of transmission, diagnosis, treatment and complications of paragonimiasis among clinicians in an endemic area in southern Nigeria. We therefore recommend intensified efforts in training clinicians and other health workers on the aetiology and diagnosis of paragonimiasis through regular continuous medical education of their professional associations, departmental academic programs and update courses of the various postgraduate colleges in order to prevent misdiagnosis and delayed treatment of patients with paragonimiasis.

TOPRAK MESELESİNİN ÇÖZÜMÜNE YÖNELİK BİR ADIM: DÂHİLİYE VEKÂLETİNİN 1937 TARİHLİ TOPRAK KANUNU TASARISI
Authors: DALAN Mustafa Ersagun 
Published: October 2023

Yeni kurulan cumhuriyetin, siyasi, iktisadi ve sosyal meselelerde milletin rejimle olan bağlarını güçlendirmek amacıyla bir takım gelişmeler kaydettiği açıktır. İçeriği itibariyle siyasi, sosyal, iktisadi ve kültürel konuları bünyesinde barındıran ‘toprak meselesi’, önemini daha da arttırarak çözülmesi gereken öncelikli meselelerden biri olmuştur. 1930’lu yıllarda çıkarılan kanunlarla meselenin çözümüne yönelik adımlar atılsa da tam bir reformdan bahsetmek mümkün değildir. Dâhiliye, Sıhhat ve İçtimai Muavenet Vekâletleri tarafından hazırlanan toprak reformu tasarıları da muhalefetin ve büyük toprak sahiplerinin tepkisi, yaklaşan II. Dünya Savaşı gibi nedenlerle hayata geçirilememiştir. Bu çalışmada, toprak meselesinin çözümüne yönelik atılan adımlar yeni belgeler ışığında kısaca değerlendirilerek, Dâhiliye Vekâletinin 1937 tarihli toprak kanunu tasarısı incelenecektir.
Çalışmamızda özellikle, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivlerinde bulunan belgelerden istifade edilmiştir. Ayrıca Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi zabıt tutanaklarından, süreli yayınlardan, telif ve tetkik eserlerden faydalanılmıştır.
TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ İLE AMERİKA BİRLEŞİK DEVLETLERİ İLİŞKİLERİNDE KRİZ: PANTURANİZM
Authors: KIYANÇ Sinan 
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmada ABD’nin Panturanizm’e bakışı ele alınmaktadır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin son yıllarında dünyadaki Pan hareketlerinin bir yansıması olarak ortaya atılan Panturanizm-Turancılık, Osmanlı Devleti nezdinde kabul görmüştür. Turan ırkının bir araya getirilmesini amaçlayan Panturanizm, İngiltere tarafından Milli Mücadele karşıtlığı için propaganda malzemesi yapılmıştır. ABD’de Türk karşıtlığı üzerinden şekillenen Panturanizm, Ermeni ve Yunan lobilerinin etkisi ile kamuoyunda geniş yer tutmuştur. Milli Mücadele’nin hemen başında Amerikan kamuoyunda Mustafa Kemal Paşa’nın bu olgu üzerinden hareket ettiği iddiaları, Milli Mücadele’ye karşı propaganda faaliyetlerinin ne kadar etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Milli Mücadele’nin askeri alanın yanı sıra propagandalara karşı da mücadelesinin bir örneği de Panturanizm hakkında yaşananlardır. Cumhuriyetin ilanının hemen başına kadar varlığını koruyan Panturanizm algısı, yeni devletin bu fikirde olmadığı yönünde açıklamaları ile Amerikan kamuoyunda bu konuda yayınlar nedeniyle gündemden düşmüştür.
Çalışmada tarih sınırlandırılmasına gidilerek, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarına kadar olan kısım ele alınmaktadır. Panturanizm’in Milli Mücadele ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti aleyhinde nasıl bir propaganda malzemesi olarak kullanıldığı, iki ülke ilişkilerine nasıl etki ettiği ve Mustafa Kemal Paşa’nın bu propagandaya karşı nasıl mücadele ettiği sorularına arşiv kaynakları ve birinci el kaynaklar başta olmak üzere araştırma eserlerinden elde edilen bilgi ve bulgularla cevap verilmektedir. Bir propaganda malzemesi olarak kullanılan ve Amerikan kamuoyunda yer alan Panturanizm’in ülkedeki Türk aleyhtarlığını güçlendiren unsurlardan birisi olduğu bu durumun da iki ülke ilişkilerinde olumsuz bir etkiye neden olduğu savunulmaktadır.
