Published: March 2023

Abstract
Tropical cyclone (TC) risks are expected to increase with climate change and socio-economic development and are subject to substantial uncertainties. We thus assess future global TC risk drivers and perform a systematic uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. We combine synthetic TCs downscaled from CMIP6 global climate models (GCMs) for several emission scenarios with economic growth factors derived from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and a wide range of vulnerability functions. We find a non-linear effect between climate change and socio-economic development that drives the future TC risk. Furthermore, we show that the choice of GCM affects the output uncertainty most among all varied model input factors. Finally, we discover a positive correlation between climate sensitivity and TC risk increase. We conclude that uncertainty and sensitivity analysis are powerful tools to improve the information value of climate-risk models, producing transparent output and providing a comprehensive context to quantitative results for robust decision-making.

Abstract
After the first Totiviridae member IMNV was isolated from an arthropod penaeid shrimp, more toti-like viruses are being identified from arthropods. In this study, we isolated a novel totivirus-like particle from Culex tritaeniorhynchus designated NODE2. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that NODE2 has a similar genome organization as some other members of Totiviridae family, and it may represent an entirely novel genus within the Totiviridae family.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background: The role of postoperative of the ratio of c-reactive protein to albumin (CRP/Alb ratio) in the prognosis of gastric cancer is rarely evaluated. Our purpose was to investigate the correlation of the several markers of systemic inflammatory response and prognosis of gastric cancer. In particular, whether postoperative the CRP/Alb ratio can predict the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer.
Methods: We enrolled 434 patients who suffered from radical gastrectomy. The commonly used inflammatory indices, clinical-pathological characteristics and oncologic outcomes were recorded. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the optimal cut-off value for preoperative and postoperative CRP/Alb ratio, respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression model were performed to determine its prognostic significance.
Results: In univariate analysis, there were significant differences were observed in overall survival (OS) according to perioperative CRP/Alb ratio, c-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin (Alb), the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), high-sensitivity Glasgow Prognostic Score (HS-GPS), respectively. According to the multivariate analysis, high postoperative CRP/Alb ratio (HR: 4.36, 95% CI: 2.28–8.35, P<0.001) were indicated a shorter overall survival.
Conclusion: Postoperative changes of inflammatory factors in patients with gastric cancer should be pay attention, especially postoperative CRP/Alb ratio may be an independent predictor of long-term prognosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background
Specific treatment options for high-grade gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs) remain controversial. The effects of surgery plus chemotherapy versus surgery plus chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on long-term survival in patients with GI-NETs were compared.
Methods
From the SEER-Medicare database, patients with GI-NETs (high-grade) who were diagnosed within 2004–2015 were selected. Relevant covariates adjustment and prognostic factors assessment were done using multivariate Cox regression models. Long-term survival between surgery plus chemotherapy and surgery plus CRT was distinguished using propensity score matching (PSM), Log-rank tests, and Kaplan-Meier curves.
Results
Among 839 patients with high-grade GI-NETs, 693 (82.6%) received surgery plus chemotherapy, and 146 (17.4%) received surgery plus CRT. In terms of in long-term outcomes, before PSM, a significant difference existed between surgery-plus-chemotherapy and surgery-plus-CRT. The overall survival (OS) (23 months versus 18 months, P = 0.016) and cancer-specific survival (25 months versus 20 months, P = 0.035) were higher in those who received surgery plus CRT compared to those who received surgery plus chemotherapy. After eliminating the imbalance of baseline variables using PSM, OS and CSS between the understudied patient groups were non-significantly different. Those who received surgery-plus-CRT had favorable prognosis in the subgroup with tumor sizes of 23–87 mm.
Conclusion
In terms of long-term survival, the results from SEER data showed no significant difference between patients administered surgery-plus-chemotherapy and surgery-plus-CRT. We need clinical randomized controlled trials to validate this result and to explore the best combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy based on different populations.

Abstract
Background The risk of falls and bone fractures sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors has been characterized by conflicting evidence. Therefore, we decided to investigate the reporting probability of falls and fractures by comparing SGLT2 inhibitors with DPP4 inhibitors in cardiometabolic patients.
Methods A retrospective, pharmacovigilance study of the European database of safety reports was conducted. Disproportionality analyses (Reporting Odds Ratio, ROR) were conducted to compare the reporting probability of falls or fracture between treatments.
Results A total of 3,074 (7.48%) ICSRs with SGLT2 inhibitors were identified. The most reported SGLT2 inhibitor was canagliflozin (N=1,049; 34.12%), followed by dapagliflozin (N=1,025; 33.34%), empagliflozin (N=974; 31.69%), and ertugliflozin (N=16; 0.52%). Fall was the most reported event (N=336; 8.05%), followed by wound (N=96; 2.30), limb injury (N=69; 1.65%), foot fracture (N=48; 1.15%), and hip fracture (N=40; 0.96%). SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with a lower reporting probability of fall than DPP4 inhibitors (ROR, 0.66; 95%CI, 0.57-0.78). The lower reporting probability of fall was also observed in the analysis with the single SGLT2 inhibitor compared to DPP4 inhibitors: dapagliflozin (ROR, 0.67; 95%CI, 0.53-0.83), canagliflozin (ROR, 0.56; 95%CI, 0.45-0.70), and empagliflozin (ROR, 0.77; 95%CI, 0.63-0.94). For fractures, no difference was found in the analyses.
Conclusion In this post-marketing study, SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with a lower reporting probability of fall than DPP4 inhibitors. Our findings provide reassurance regarding the risk of fall with SGLT2 inhibitors in cardio-metabolic patients, although future researches will help to confirm their long-term safety profile.
The digital finance and urban-rural gap: Evidence from China
Authors: Zhang Liang , Ding Chante Jian 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The pursuit of both commercial sustainability and social responsibility is a defining characteristic of inclusive finance. One practical application of this dual goal is to increase the income of farmers through the use of digital inclusive finance. This study aims to measure the impact of digital inclusive finance on farmers' income levels and identify its operational mechanism. Drawing on statistical data from 281 prefecture-level cities in mainland China from 2011 to 2020, the study finds a significant positive correlation between the level of development of digital inclusive finance and farmers' income levels. Furthermore, digital inclusive finance has a positive effect on narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas, mainly by promoting technological progress in agriculture. The study's heterogeneity analysis reveals that the positive effect of digital inclusive finance is more pronounced in areas with higher human capital and lower levels of digital development. Moreover, traditional financial development and digital financial inclusion are complementary. These findings provide empirical evidence of the role of digital finance in promoting balanced development.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Stretchable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/carboxylated chitosan(CCS)-based double network (DN) hydrogels have great potential for applications in soft materials. In this experiment, a leather-like gel with excellent mechanical properties, frost resistance, electrical conductivity, and recyclability was prepared by a one-pot method. The dermal-mimicking network was driven by hydrogen bonding between polyvinyl alcohol, alginate, and glycerol, which enables the gel to exhibit excellent mechanical properties. In addition, the hydrogel can be fabricated into complex structures by 3D printing, cooling molding, and freeze-thaw cycles. 3D printed flexible sensors are suitable for making biosensors to monitor human movements such as fingers, arms, wrists and pulse signals, and can also detect NH3 (50-800 ppm) gas. The overall signal response remained stable after more than 300 cyclic stretching cycles at 100% strain. This strategy can be extended to construct other multifunctional sensors with high mechanical properties, which have great application potential in the field of flexible electronics.

Abstract
Fingerprint recognition is one of the most reliable and widely used biometric techniques for personal identification. The uniqueness and persistence of friction ridge patterns make fingerprints an ideal choice for forensic investigation and identification. In recent years, the advent of data analytics and machine learning algorithms has revolutionized the field of fingerprint recognition. In this paper, we propose a fingerprint digital classification system based on friction ridge characteristics and data analytics algorithms. We have used an open-source dataset of fingerprint images to test the proposed system. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach.
Mannardite as the main vanadium-hosting mineral in black shale-hosted vanadium deposits, South China

Abstract
Black shale-hosted vanadium (V) deposits account for about 80% vanadium resources in the world, but only &lt;2% vanadium in the black shale can be extracted mainly due to insufficient recognition on the occurrence mode of vanadium. It is commonly agreed that most vanadium in the black shale is hosted in clay minerals and organic matters, but it is not clear how the other parts of vanadium exist and whether there exists a vanadium mineral, which has limited our understanding of metallogenic mechanism of black shale-hosted vanadium deposits. The Jiujiang Basin at the Lower Yangtze Block is a significant black shale-hosted vanadium metallogenic district. In this work, we conducted systematic studies of mineralogy, lithology and geochemistry on the occurrence of vanadium hosted in the black shales. Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) show that the main vanadium-hosting mineral in the black shale is mannardite, with a structural formula of [Ba0.96∙H2O](Ti5.87V1.873+V0.114+Si0.07Cr0.07Fe0.023+)O16.00, space group I41/a, unit-cell parameters a = b = 14.346(7) Å, c = 5.899(1) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, Z = 4. Data from EPMA, TESCAN integrated mineral analyzer (TIMA), and whole-rock geochemistry indicate that 12.32–44.06% (average 24.95%) vanadium exists in mannardite. Most vanadium atoms in mannardite occupy its structural sites as trivalent vanadium (V3+), forming chemical bonds with O atoms as VO2−, whereas a minor amount of vanadium atoms replace titanite atoms (Ti4+) as quadrivalent vanadium (V4+) by isomorphism. Mannardite precipitates under a strong reductive condition with sufficient trivalent vanadium species, titanium and biogenic barium (bio-barite). Our first identification of mannardite in black shale-hosted vanadium deposits thus sheds light on the occurrence mode of vanadium and the metallogenic mechanism of black shale-hosted vanadium deposits.
Siyonistlerin Filistin’de Arazi Satın Alma Faaliyetlerine Tepkiler: El-Münadi Gazetesi Örneği (1912-1913)
Authors: KAYYALİ Enes 
Published: March 2023

19. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru Avrupa’da gelişen milliyetçilik akımı ve onun oluşturduğu Yahudi aleyhtarlığı etkisiyle, Yahudi gazeteci Theodor Herzl liderliğinde bir grup Yahudi tarafından Siyonizm örgütü kurulmuştur. Örgütün temel amacı, Yahudi millî kimliğini korumaktır. Ayrıca yaşadıkları sorunlara bir çıkış yolu olarak onlara tanrı tarafından vaat edildiğine inandıkları topraklara ve eski krallıkların merkezine yani Filistin’e geri dönüp orayı yurt edinmeyi amaçlamaktaydılar. Siyonizm örgütü, bu amacını gerçekleştirmek için bir yandan nüfuzlu ülkelerle ve Osmanlı yönetimi ile temaslarda bulunurken diğer yandan da organize olup federasyonlar kurarak toprak satın alma ve Filistin’e Yahudi göçlerini destekleme gibi faaliyetlerde bulunmuşlardır. Bunun sonucunda Filistin’deki Yahudi nüfusu ve Yahudilerin elindeki topraklar, 19. yüzyılın sonundan 20. yüzyılın başlarına kadar bir hayli genişleyip artmıştır. Siyonizm’in 20. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren Filistin’e yerleşmeye yönelik artan faaliyetlerine karşılık Osmanlı Devleti bazı yasaklamalarla tedbir aldığı gibi Filistin halkı da tepki göstermiştir. Bu tepkilerde özellikle Filistin basını önemli bir role sahiptir.
II. Meşrutiyet’in ilanının ardından oluşan serbestlik ortamında Osmanlı Devleti’nin her tarafında olduğu gibi Filistin’de de basın gelişme göstermiş ve çok sayıda gazete neşredilmeye başlanmıştır. El-Asmaʻi (1908), Filastin (1912) ve özellikle el-Kermil (1909) Filistin’e Yahudi göçü ve Yahudilerin Filistin’de toprak satın almalarına yönelik politikalara karşı çıkmıştır. Yine bunlardan biri de Siyonizm karşıtı yayın politikasıyla dikkat çeken ve Said Carullah’ın 8 Şubat 1912-17 Temmuz 1913 tarihleri arasında Kudüs’te Arapça olarak neşrettiği el-Münadi Gazetesi’dir. Bu makalede el-Münadi Gazetesi’nde neşredilen Siyonizm, Siyonistlerin Filistin’de toprak satın alma faaliyetleri ve bu durum karşısında bölgedeki Osmanlı memurlarının tutumları hakkındaki haber ve yazılara değinilecektir
İmparator I. Manuel Komnenos’un Balkan Politikası
Authors: YENER Alican 
Published: March 2023

Roma İmparatorluğu’nun tarihsel misyonunu sürdürmek ve dünya siyasetinde etkin bir devlet kurmak hemen hemen tüm Bizans imparatorlarının temel amacıdır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda en etkili adımları atan imparatorlardan biri olan I. Manuel Komnenos, doğuda ve batıda çeşitli düşmanlarla mücadele etmiştir. Bu mücadele sahalarından bir olan Balkanlar imparatorluk mirasını barındırması, Avrupa’ya açılan bir kapı mahiyetinde olması ve devletin sınırlarını teşkil etmesi nedeniyle sürekli önem arz etmiştir. 10. ve 11. yüzyıllarda yaşanan göç ve yağmalar sonucunda Balkanların demografik yapısı değişmekle kalmamış, aynı zamanda merkezi otorite de ortadan kalkmıştır. Balkanlarda yaşanan gerek siyasi gerekse sosyo-ekonomik gelişmeler Bizans İmparatorluğu’nu doğrudan etkilediği için Balkanlar, sürekli takip edilmesi ve kontrol altında tutulması gereken bir coğrafya olmuştur. Nitekim Haçlı seferlerinin başlamasıyla imparatorluk toprakları için tampon bölge haline gelen Balkanlar, İtalya ve Dalmaçya üzerinde olası bir hâkimiyetinde anahtarı olmuştur.
Manuel Komnenos 1143’de tahta çıktığında süregelen Sırp ve Macar isyanları imparatorluğun önünde çözülmesi gereken nihai sorun olarak varlığını sürdürmekteydi. Öte yandan Norman kralı II. Roger’in Bizans üzerindeki emelleri Mora’ya yaptığı saldırılarla açığa çıktı. Askeri çözüm üretmekten ziyade diplomatik yollara başvuran Manuel, Normanlara karşı Venedik ve Almanlarla kurduğu ittifak neticesinde II. Roger’ı Balkanlardan çıkarmaya çalıştı. Bağımsızlık arayışındaki Sırbistan’da hâkimiyetini tesis etmek isteyen Manuel, parçala-böl-yut politikası güderek Sırp jupanlıklarını birbirinden bağımsız eyaletlere ayırdı. Bir sorun yumağı halini alan Macaristan’da ise sadece Macarlara karşı değil aynı zamanda Papalığın ve Almanların nüfuzuna karşı da mücadele etti. Macar tahtına müdahale eden Manuel tahtın varisi III. Bela’yı İstanbul’a getirtti ve III. Bela burada Bizans kültürü altında asimile edildi. Bu makalemizde imparator Manuel Komnenos’un Balkan uluslarıyla giriştiği mücadeleleri ve bunların Bizans devletinin yeniden cihanşümul bir yapı kazanmasındaki rolünü ele alacağız.

Following the footsteps of ancient civilizations is not easy at all. One should always start from the oldest data, going through the itineraries of guidebooks, legends, legends, comparisons, archaeological excavations, assumptions and hypotheses of different authors.
The territory of Dardania, was a very rich territory with various and very precious mines and minerals, and also to search for a very rich city and civilization which is known more by its coins, is also challenging but also easily defined. According to the data and finds of coins from this city we see that we have done with the extension of the monopoly all over the Illyrian Peninsula, including Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo as well.
Therefore, we should always look for the city of Damastion in the area of ancient Dardania, since this area also had an influence on the entire region.
