Does Technological Innovation Reduce Environmental Degradation? Evidence from China
Authors: Khalid Tayiba , Wen Jun , Khalid Momena , Khalid Samia , Zakaria Muhammad , Mahmood Hamid 
Published: June 2023

Developed and developing countries are trying to achieve sustainable growth in the present era. Unfortunately, despite being the world’s largest developing country, China is among those countries that have a high ecological footprint as it emits 27% of global carbon emissions in 2021. However, the encouraging fact is that China has become an emerging economy due to technological advancement. Many existing studies have suggested that technological innovation can overcome environmental degradation. Therefore, this study examines whether technological innovation has reduced environmental degradation in China from 1985 to 2018. This study uses the ecological footprint to measure environmental degradation in China. Furthermore, this study also explores the role of economic growth, trade openness, and population on environment. To estimate the models, ARDL cointegration technique is applied, and the findings are further validated using CCR, DOLS, FMOLS, and Granger causality techniques. Overall, empirical results indicate that technological advancement negatively impacts China’s short- and long-term ecological footprint. This is understandable because more innovation leads to better technology that consumes fewer resources and has lower ecological footprints. However, environmental degradation is exacerbated by economic growth and population growth, whereas trade openness helps to mitigate environmental degradation in China. The diagnostic analysis of the study confirms the absence of heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and model instability. The study recommends using eco-friendly technologies that can reduce the usage of harmful alternative energy sources. Furthermore, carbon emissions need to be taxed, and environment friendly technologies need to be supported to promote long-term economic growth.

Consultations in Eye Pathology: Experience at an Ophthalmology Specialty Hospital
Authors: Milman Tatyana , Martinez Orlando G. Gonzalez , Calotti Martin , Henry Roger K. , Eagle Ralph C. 
Published: June 2023

Context.—
Ophthalmic pathology is a discipline that relies heavily on a knowledge of clinical ophthalmology. The diagnosis of ocular and periocular lesions can be challenging because some lesions and diseases are unique to this region, whereas others may demonstrate site-specific differences from nonocular counterparts. Because of these challenges, ocular and periocular biopsies are frequently referred to specialized ophthalmic pathology centers for second-opinion diagnoses.

Objective.—
To analyze the referral patterns, diagnostic challenges, and diagnostic discrepancies for second-opinion referrals at a dedicated ophthalmic pathology laboratory with an emphasis on lesions of special interest in ophthalmic pathology.

Data Sources.—
Data sources included the pathology records of all slides and blocks received in consultation at the referral eye pathology center between December 1, 2015, and December 1, 2022, the personal experience of senior authors, and published peer-reviewed literature.

Conclusions.—
Corneal, intraocular, and conjunctival biopsies are the most common types of cases received in consultation without the referring pathologist's diagnosis, likely reflecting diagnostic challenges. Degenerative intraocular processes occasionally raise concern for a neoplasm. Conjunctival melanocytic lesions are the most common conjunctival biopsies referred for second-opinion diagnosis and require careful tissue sampling and clinical-pathologic correlation. Careful clinical-pathologic correlation, a high level of suspicion, and adequate sampling also are required for the accurate diagnosis of periocular sebaceous carcinoma. The diagnostic discrepancies involving uveal, retinal, conjunctival, eyelid, and temporal artery biopsies are most likely to adversely influence patient management and possible outcome. Such specimens may benefit from referral to specialized ophthalmic pathology laboratories.

Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and construct machines, structures and other items, including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles and buildings. The engineering discipline encompasses a wide range of specialized engineering fields, each with particular emphasis on specific areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and application types. Engineering is a sub-discipline created by the interdisciplinary partnership that plays a very important role in the development and development of a country. Engineering is a profession that develops economical methods to present the forces and substances of nature for the benefit of human beings, using the knowledge gained through study, experimentation and application from the branches of mathematics and natural sciences wisely.
Because the engineering approach; It is the human approach whose job is to solve problems. Employees who take the engineering approach know how to see the unseen, find the unthinkable, target optimum solutions and get the maximum benefit from the situation. On the other hand, although a very broad and detailed definition comes to mind with the question of what is engineering, we can say that engineering is the application of science and mathematics necessary to solve problems. Engineers understand how things work and find ways to use scientific discoveries in practical life.
This book published; It was created from the presentations of both their own original studies and compilation studies from the literature presented by academics who teach in various engineering branches. The aim here is for engineers and academics interested in the subject to find important engineering studies together. Therefore, I believe that the book will fill an important gap and be useful to young researchers. In this context; We would like to thank everyone who contributed scientifically to the book, in short, who contributed to the preparation of the book for printing.
I hope that this published book will be useful to both engineers and young academics, and I wish success to all engineers and young academics.

Investigation of the Behavior of Steel-Concrete Composite Structure with Different Design Properties Under Far-Fault and Near Fault Earthquake Records
Authors: Etli Serkan , Akgül Melek 
Published: June 2023

Calculations of earthquake effects can be handled in different ways in current national or international regulations. It is of great importance to consider the second-order effects of properties. After the structural modeling, the designs are completed by using the forces obtained in the section calculations made by considering the earthquake effects. Deformations due to second-order effects can cause greater damage in sections. Within the scope of this study, steel-concrete composite systems, which are produced in Eurocode norms and have remarkable features among structural systems, have been examined. The effects of considering the sensitivity coefficient in the Eurocode in the examinations on the system were evaluated separately in internal and external frames. Especially in elastic design and force-based designs, the effect of this coefficient has been evaluated in buildings with different coefficients in this study. As an example, the number of floors of the studied buildings were modeled as 8, 10, 13 and 15-storey composite moment-resisting frames. During the modeling, the sensitivity coefficient was evaluated to be 0<θ≤0.1 and 0.1<θ≤0.2 in two different intervals. In the evaluations, Nonlinear Time History analyzes, and nonlinear element and material models were used to evaluate the nonlinear behavior. To evaluate the behavior of the systems, the average and maximum values of the interstory drift ratios were carried out. In systems consisting of exemplary composite moment-resisting frames, it has been theoretically evaluated that there were important effects of the use of this coefficient, especially in outer frames.

Authors: Taş Emre , Demirkale Sevcan 
Published: June 2023

Summability theory which aims to assign meaningful values to divergent sequences and series is a fascinating branch of mathematical analysis. In this theory, spliced sequences that are combinations of sequences obtained by partitions are important tools to understand and analyze the characters of series.
In this chapter, some results on spliced sequences will be presented by nonnegative matrices. It is benefical to note that the class of such matrices is more general.

Published: June 2023

Maurits Cornelis Escher, "Gece ve Gündüz" adlı eseriyle sanat dünyasında çarpıcı bir etki yaratıyor. Bu eser, Escher'in karakteristik tarzını yansıtan karmaşık geometrik desenler ve optik illüzyonlarla doludur. İki boyutlu bir düzlemde gerçeklik algısını sorgulayan sanatçı, görsel çelişkilerle izleyiciyi etkilemeyi başarıyor. Escher, "Gece ve Gündüz" eserinde siyah ve beyaz renklerle kontrast oluştururken, geometrik şekiller ve figürler arasında karmaşık bir ilişki kuruyor. Tekrar eden desenler, sonsuz döngüler ve tersine çevrilen formlar, eserin merkezi temasını oluşturur. İzleyici, bir yandan düzeni ve simetriyi takip ederken, diğer yandan çelişkili ve çift anlamlı bir dünyanın içine çekilir.

Escher'in ustalığı, görsel yanılsamalar yaratma becerisiyle birleşir. "Gece ve Gündüz"de, pozitif ve negatif alanların ustaca birleşimiyle oluşturulan motifler izleyicinin dikkatini çeker. Bu, sanatçının gerçeklik algısını bozan optik illüzyonlarını vurgulayan bir örnektir. "Gece ve Gündüz"ün temelinde, zıtlıkların bir araya gelerek uyum içinde var olabileceği fikri yatar. Escher, görsel bir paradoksla yalnızca estetik bir deneyim sunmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda insan düşüncesinin karmaşıklığına da bir gönderme yapar. Sonuç olarak, "Gece ve Gündüz" Maurits Cornelis Escher'in sanatsal dehasını ve sıra dışı bakış açısını sergileyen etkileyici bir eserdir. Bu resmin 600'den fazla baskısı yapılmış pek çok ülkede sergilenmiştir. Türk sanat izleyicilerinin mutlaka yakından görmesi ve detaylarını incelemesi, gereken önemli bir eser olduğunu belirtmek gerekir.

Nowadays, with the technological improvement, communications with the things become easier. It helps people to live an easier life, live and work smarter as well as take back control of their lives completely. this smart communication is done in an environment that called Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The Internet of Thing is multiple physical objects that communicate using the internet, allowing sending, and receiving of data. Since it’s a data so it's prone to attack in a goal of steal it, change it and so many reasons. In addition, nowadays hackers are everywhere with so many types. So, it needs to protect those data and the devices, if Internet of Things devices doesn't have enough security to protect the system from being compromised, then many threats and attacks will occur. If the administrator does not apply strong security and develop a plan for system and device prevention, the Internet of Things environment will be weak, which will make the system and devices prone to attack. Unauthorized access will be prevented if the login system includes a signature matching system. This research aims to analyze the traffic security and analyze threats and risks using IoT devices from intruders by applying an IDS to the IoT environment. when the attacker will try to enter to the traffic or send any packets to any IoT devices, the intrusion detection system will send an alert to the administrator that there's something wrong need to check, the IDS will detect the attacker's name, type and from which device he tries to enter to the system, it will analyze the traffic system, as well as will prevent the devices and data from threats.

Malnoms graciosos de criminals desgraciats entre les sentències de contenció del canceller de Catalunya (segles XVI-XVII)
Authors: Capdeferro Josep 
Published: June 2023

Resum: Insospitadament, en una col·lecció jurisprudencial de prestigi emanada dels cancellers de la Catalunya moderna, diversos criminals que buscaven la protecció de l’asil eclesiàstic van ser designats amb els seus malnoms respectius, a més de nom i cognom i, sovint, altres circumstàncies identificatives. Així, es constata l’arrelament profund d’aquest mecanisme popular per designar les persones (de certa extracció social?). La majoria dels 75 malnoms localitzats eren graciosos i corresponien a trets d’origen, caracterització o complementaris dels delinqüents respectius. Només alguns resulten totalment enigmàtics als ulls contemporanis (quelcom ben comprensible, n’hi ha que tenen una component arbitrària o atzarosa).Paraules clau: malnoms, Catalunya, barroc, canceller, justícia, arbitrarietatAbstract: Unexpectedly, in a prestigious collection of sentences issued by the chancellors of early modern Catalonia, several malefactors who sought the protection of ecclesiastical asylum were designated by their respective nicknames, in addition to their first and last names and, often, other identifying circumstances. Thus, the deep rootedness of this popular mechanism to designate people (of a certain social extraction?) is confirmed. Most of the seventy-five nicknames found are quite funny and provide information on the origin, characterization or complementary elements of the offenders. Only some are totally enigmatic to contemporary eyes (which is quite understandable, they often had an arbitrary or random component).Keywords: nicknames, Catalonia, earlymodern, chancellor, justice, arbitrariness
