Determination of odor profile of university students using electroencephalography (EEG)
Authors: Uçar Ömür , Atan Murat 
Published: January 2023

Sense of smell, a subjective sensation, has not been studied as much as the other senses hence interpretation of olfactory messages is still not a fully understood process.Â Olfactory perception, about which science made some significant advances only in the last 30 years, identifies a chemical substance coming to nose while also remembering past experiences. Therefore, in terms of odor appreciation profile it is important to reveal the difference between individuals as well as societies. The aims of this study are interpretation of EEG data with subjective statements, generation of a common denominator considering the gender variable and determination of odor appreciation profile for the Turkish sample.In this study, subjects who have no detailed information about the olfaction and odor were selected. EEG measurements were of randomly selected thirty six (eighteen female and eighteen male) right-handed, aged 18-28 years university students. Odor panel consists of 13 pleasant smells from different odor families (orange blossom, jasmine, peach, aldehydes, musk, vanilla, sandalwood, grass, amber, bergamot, pine, rose and patchouli). After examination of participantsâ€™ demographic characteristics, subjective statements and EEG data during smelling, The Odor Profile of University Students was provided and suggestions were made related to the conclusions.Â Keywords: Odor Profile, Electroencephalography (EEG), Odor Appreciation.

Augmented reality applications in product design process
Authors: Åžahin Damla , Togay Abdullah 
Published: January 2023

Computer aided design (CAD) systems as visualization tools play a vital role for designers in product design process. However, these systems itself become insufficient to achieve 3D interaction with virtual models. Virtual Reality provides alternative solutions to this problem, hence its maximum requirements and high cost makes the use of it in design process unpopular. Hence, Augmented Reality, defined as mixture of reality and virtuality and combining 3D virtual object with real environment, presents many advantages for product design process as a new technology. It allows the designers to display and modify modify the virtual model in real-time and have a 3D interactive experience with the virtual model in a real environment. This study aims to analyze in which stages, in what way and for which product groups AR would be used in product design process, and to understand the role of these applications on the perception of actual dimension and product-space relationship, the quality of evaluation and the amount of evaluation time. For this purpose, an interview study was conducted with nine designers from three different sectors that are design, interior design and furniture. The results have shown that if the AR applications are developed in parallel with firmsâ€™ requirements, they could integrate and use them in design process more efficiently.

Published: January 2023

Teaching of the arts which include universal values and rules in essence ,in spite of containing local signs, should be formed by universal criteriaâ€™s and the richness, and contain diversity as well.Â Intercultural interaction is an opportunity that may offer important advantages to this diversity. To be the subject of education and training of the arts, which is almost in the same age with humanity, in Turkey coincides with relatively near future. Turkish art education institutions, trying to fit the process of understanding hundreds of years of tradition and rules into a few decades, tried to speed up this process by going especially western countries or bringing artists from there. While the number does not exceed fingers of two hands especially in the last ten-fifteen years, now the expression of these numbers with three-digit numbers made the need for qualified instructors preferred. On the one hand this case contains various handicaps, but on the other hand, it can be considered as an opportunity. These study opportunities were designed to detect the sample.Keywords: art, intercultural interaction, Azerbaijani painters.

Authors: Musova Zdenka , Musa Hussam , Debnarova Lenka 
Published: January 2023

The consequences of poor management in companies are expressed fully and affect not only the companies themselves, but the entire world economy. Especially for multinationals we note one important factor which significantly influences their governance, namely the separation of ownership from management. The negative consequences of this separation force companies to greater transparency and responsible management through application of the principles of corporate governance. Applying the principles of corporate governance has a positive effect on the elimination of information asymmetry, and hence on the financial management of the companies. Our main objective of the paper is to analyze the corporate governance principleÂ´s application in companies and to examine the possible impact of corporate governance on the estimated level of information asymmetry in the financial decision-making processes. We measured the level of corporate governance in selected companies in Slovakia (quoted on the Bratislava Stock Exchange) and used correlation analysis to examine the relationship between corporate governance and the level of information asymmetry.

Writing fluency predicted by reading, linguistic and cognitive skills in L1 and L2 in the writing of bilingual biscriptal Persian-Swedish children
Authors: Johansson Baran , Rijlaarsdam Gert 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Literacy acquisition in children’s L1 and L2 contributes to academic success, and embraces and supports children’s backgrounds and identity formation. However, limited education can prevent bilingual children from developing their writing fluency on the same level in L1 and L2. An analysis of writing fluency can show aspects that require more or less effort in children’s L1 and L2 writing. Thus, it is important to examine writing fluency and the related reading, linguistic and cognitive skills across children’s languages. Our knowledge is limited regarding the skills that could influence children’s writing fluency. Previous studies have mainly focused on Latin scripts and/or one alphabetic and one non-alphabetic script. Furthermore, English has been the writers’ L1 or L2. This paper investigated reading, linguistic and cognitive skills related to the writing fluency of bilingual biscriptal children in two different alphabetic scripts: Persian (L1) and Swedish (L2) across two different genres: narrative and descriptive. 23 children in years 4–9 (aged 10–15) produced four texts each using the Eye and Pen tool. Standardised tests across both languages were used to explore the participants’ reading, linguistic and cognitive skills. Analyses showed that they were more fluent writers across both genres in L2. Word reading appears to contribute to writing fluency across both languages, whereas vocabulary knowledge only related to writing fluency in L1. No significant relationship was found between working memory and writing fluency in either L1 or L2.

Preparation of CaMgAl-calcined layered double hydroxides and application on the removal of phosphates
Authors: Xiao Liping , Wang Zhemeng , Wang Dongxue , Lan Yunlong , Kong Qiaoping 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
A calcined CaMgAl-layered double hydroxide nanocomposite, CaMgAl-LDH (CCMA-0.83-600), was prepared by introducing Mg on the basis of CaAl-LDHs for the removal of phosphate from wastewater. The structure of the as-synthesized CCMA-0.83-600 was confirmed by XRD and SEM analyses. Parameters affecting the adsorption process of phosphate adsorbed by CCMA-0.83-600 were thoroughly explored, such as initial pH, adsorbent dosage and co-existing anions. The adsorption kinetic study suggested that the adsorption process accorded with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the adsorption rate was controlled by both the liquid film diffusion and intra-particle diffusion. The adsorption isotherm study indicated the adsorption process followed by the Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption of phosphate was spontaneous and exothermic. The obtained results indicated that CCMA-0.83-600 is a suitable candidate for the removal of phosphate from wastewater.

Резюме. Ротова рідина може виступати як діагностичний індикатор, який відображає стан органів ротовій порожнині, прогнозування перебігу захворювання, оцінки ефективності проведеного лікування.
Мета – вивчити ефективність лікування захворювань тканин пародонту за біофізичними показниками ротової рідини в осіб підліткового та юнацького віку, що палять.
Матеріали та методи. Вивчено вплив лікування на біофізичні показники ротової рідини у 114 осіб підліткового та юнацького віку від 15 до 24 років, яких було розділено на групи: у І групу включили 26 осіб, що регулярно палять традиційні сигарети; у ІІ групу – 22 особи, що регулярно палять електронні сигарети (Вейпи); у ІІІ групу – 23 особи, що регулярно палять пристрої для нагрівання тютюну (IQOSи); у ІV групу – 43 особи, що не палять.
Результати. При вивченні властивостей ротової рідини у осіб підліткового та юнацького віку було виявлено залежність її показників від наявності шкідливої звички та виду паління. Кращі результати нормалізації біофізичних показників ротової рідини зареєстровано у хворих, що отримували запропоноване комплексне лікування, ніж в осіб, що отримували загальноприйняту терапію.
Висновки. Аналіз впливу лікування на показники ротової рідини свідчить про вищу ефективність запропонованого комплексного лікування в порівнянні з терапією за загальноприйнятим протоколом лікування.
