Praxeological learning approach in the development of pre-service EFL teachers' TPACK and online information-seeking strategies
Authors: Kulaksız Taibe 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study is purposed to implement and test a praxeological learning approach to enhance pre-service EFL teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge and online information-seeking skills. This study was conducted based on a convergent parallel mixed design involving thirty-seven sophomore pre-service EFL teachers. Multiple data collection tools were administered at the beginning and end of the course, and data were analyzed aligning with quantitative and qualitative methods complementarily. Active and decisive participation of the pre-service teachers shaped the course design following the sections of independent study, context orientation, and context-based study within the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Framework. Findings showed that pre-service teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge and online information-seeking strategies of evaluation, selecting main ideas, and trial & error were significantly improved. Praxeological learning, following the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Framework step-by-step and highlighting context-sensitivity, scaffolded pre-service teachers’ knowledge construction cumulatively and provided them with authentic learning experiences. The praxeological learning approach can support long-term motivation for technology integration knowledge and skills acquisition for pre-service teachers’ future careers.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundWildfires are increasingly frequent in the Western US and impose a number of costs including from the instantaneous release of carbon when vegetation burns. Carbon released into the atmosphere aggravates climate change while carbon stored in vegetation helps to mitigate climate change. The need for climate change mitigation is becoming more and more urgent as achieving the Paris climate agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C seems ever more challenging. A clear understanding of the role of different carbon sources is required for understanding the degree of progress toward meeting mitigation objectives and assessing the cost and benefits of mitigation policies.ResultsWe present an easily replicable approach to calculate the economic cost from carbon released instantaneously from wildfires at state and county level (US). Our approach is straightforward and relies exclusively on publicly available data that can be easily obtained for locations throughout the USA. We also describe how to apply social cost of carbon estimates to the carbon loss estimates to find the economic value of carbon released from wildfires. We demonstrate our approach using a case study of the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire in Oregon. Our estimated value of carbon lost for this medium-sized (19,400 ha) fire is $187.2 million (2020 dollars), which highlights the significant role that wildfires can have in terms of carbon emissions and their associated cost. The emissions from this fire were equivalent to as much as 2.3% of non-fire emissions for the state of Oregon in 2020.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate an easily replicable method for estimating the economic cost of instantaneous carbon dioxide emissions for individual wildfires. Estimates of the potential economic costs associated with carbon dioxide emissions help to provide a more complete picture of the true economic costs of wildfires, thus facilitating a more complete picture of the potential benefits of wildfire management efforts.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background
Self-stigma develops when people with mental disorders start to accept and apply the stigma that the wider public has towards these disorders. People suffering from mental disorders are one of the most groups prone to stigmatization others, making them more likely to experience internalized stigma. Studies done in Europe found that people with schizophrenia had greater internalized stigma than those with mood disorders. Self-stigma has been linked negatively to the individual’s self-esteem, coping, and other outcomes. The aim of this research was to compare young patients with bipolar disorder to those with schizophrenia as regards self-stigma and various coping mechanisms. Additionally, this study sought to evaluate the association between coping mechanisms and self-stigma in young people with schizophrenia and those with bipolar disorder. The ISMI scale and the BRIEF-COPE inventory were used to assess self-stigma and coping strategies respectively.

Results
The mean ISMI total score was significantly higher in the schizophrenia group than in the bipolar disorder group (p < 0.001). The latter group showed a statistically significant higher mean total adaptive score than the schizophrenia group (p = 0.03). A significant positive correlation was found between the total maladaptive score of the BRIEF-COPE inventory and the ISMI scale total score (p < 0.001) in both groups.

Conclusions
Youth with schizophrenia experience more self-stigma than those with bipolar disorder, with the former using more maladaptive coping styles. Self-stigma is strongly linked to maladaptive coping in both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Abstract
Background
Over the previous two decades, Plasmodium falciparum strains have become increasingly resistant to several medications. As a result, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic options. Taking this into account, we focused our research on screening microbial extracts from rhizosphere soil samples in specific regions, which increases the likelihood of discovering bacteria capable of producing antiplasmodial activity.

Results
In the current study, we aimed to isolate thirty-two different medicinal plant rhizosphere soil samples collected from Kolli Hills (January–December 2016). Isolation was performed on nutrient and starch casein agar medium by serial dilutions, and distinct colonies were chosen from each dilution. A total of two seventy-five bacterial isolates were isolated from the research plants and kept as pure cultures on nutrient agar. In which, maximum count of fourteen Gram-positive spore forming bacilli strains have been identified and further evaluated for morphological, cultural, and biochemical traits and significantly identified as Bacillus species. Further, promising anti-plasmodial action was demonstrated by B. megaterium bacterial extracts, with IC50 values of 24.65 µg/mL at 24 h and 7.82 µg/mL at 48 h. Bacillus mycoides showed good antiplasmodial activity with (IC50P. falciparum 3D7: 23.52 μg/mL at 24 h and 22.88 μg/mL at 48 h, Bacillus flexus showed IC50 of 18.36 and 6.24 μg/mL and moderate antiplasmodial activity observed in Bacillus tequilensis. Poor antiplasmodial activity was found in Bacillus subtillis, Bacillus macerans, Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus larvey. Interestingly, 16S rRNA sequencing results confirmed that our bacterial species was Bacillus megaterium with 99% similarity observed with the accession number KX495303.1. Additionally, GC–MS analysis revealed effective anti-plasmodial bioactive compounds.

Conclusions
These findings show the potential of B. megaterium from Achyranthes aspera as a antiplasmodial agent. However, more research is needed to fully understand the bioactive compound of these strains and further studies are necessary to explore drug formulation and toxicity levels in the future.

This paper investigates the impact of geometry of central island of roundabout on operational performance in terms of delay and capacity measures. A roundabout with an elliptical central island having major and minor axes of 63 and 44m respectively was selected as a case study. Using SIDRA Intersection software two simulation models are developed while considering two geometric shapes of central island; one with an elliptical shape and the other with a circular shape. The peak traffic volume of each approach was assigned to both models as a preliminary simulation then twelve scenarios were generated by assigning identical lane volumes starting from a value that gave level of service A and increasing gradually to level of service F. In each scenario 100% of the volume assigned to an approach while the other was assigned with 75% of it and this process was reversed for every run. The results revealed that at high degree of saturation, the elliptical roundabout generally possessed a higher performance especially in term of delay and capacity compared to the circular roundabout. Furthermore, a parametric study was carried out through running eight more simulation scenarios to examine the impacts of heavy vehicle percentage (HV%) on the roundabout operational performance. The (HV %) started from 2% and increased to 12% with alternate approach virtual volume, and the results showed that performance of the elliptical roundabout was higher than the circular roundabout. However it was more susceptible to increase of HV% in term of control delay and capacity.
Investigating and Studying the Modifications of Nano and Micro-sized Amorphous Materials Under the Influence of a High Energy Radiation
Authors: Sabri Mohammed F. 
Published: September 2023

This research explored the behavior of glass when bombarded by high-energy radiation, especially electron beams inside transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Six types of glasses are investigated under e-beam. The work is conducted using three types of TEMs of energies of 120, 200, and 300 keV. The findings show that these microscopies have a significant impact on the glass, as various observations were documented. Using a wide electron beam, morphology changes combined with bubble formation are observed in the glass. These changes are rounding and smoothening of glass edges and surfaces. In addition, the findings show that there is no material loss due to irradiation as confirmed by the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results also show that high silica glass is very sensitive, while high boron glass is found to be less sensitive to irradiation. Using a smaller size electron beam, on the other hand, resulted in the fabrication of a nanoring/nanocrater in glass. The possible applications of this research can be in the protection and packaging of three-dimensional electronic equipment and nanoscale pattern formation through roughening of the external glass contour through phase separation and the opposite through local changing of a part of the glass through the pseudo-melting and the stability of loaded and un-loaded glasses to the irradiation. Furthermore, by generating a nanoring or a nanocrater through e-beam, the lithography process is successfully performed, as the effect of the electron beam is solely at the irradiation region, while the regions outside the e-beam remain unaffected

Abstract
In this work, brick aggregates were immersed in nano-SiO2 solution for 2 days, and the effects of nano-SiO2 on the brick aggregate properties, mechanical properties (compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength), frost resistance (apparent phenomenon, mass loss, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, and compressive strength) of recycled brick aggregate concrete and the microstructure of recycled brick aggregate concrete were investigated. The results show that nano-SiO2 can effectively improve the performance of recycled brick aggregate and the mechanical properties of recycled brick aggregate concrete, mainly by reducing the water absorption and crushing index and improving the compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength. With increasing nano-SiO2 solution concentration, the compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength of recycled brick aggregate concrete first increase and then decrease. The frost resistance of recycled brick aggregate concrete is superior to that of ordinary aggregate concrete, while the frost resistance of nano-SiO2-modified recycled brick aggregate concrete is inferior to that of recycled brick aggregate concrete. In addition, the freeze‒thaw damage mechanism of recycled brick aggregate concrete is analyzed, and a freeze‒thaw damage life prediction model of nano-SiO2-modified recycled brick aggregate concrete based on the Weibull distribution is proposed.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
In plastic injection molding (PIM), the process parameters determine the quality and productivity of molded parts. The traditional injection molding process analysis method mainly relies on production experience. It is lack of advanced and rationality and seriously increases production costs. In this paper, a hybrid multiobjective optimization method is proposed to minimize the warpage, volumetric shrinkage and cycle time. The method integrates orthogonal experimental design, numerical simulation, and the metamodel method with multiobjective optimization. The orthogonal experiment chooses seven parameters as the design variables to generate sampling data and determines key factors that affect product quality by the numerical simulation. A gradient-enhanced Kriging (GEK) surrogate model strategy is introduced to construct the response predictors to calculate objective responses in the global design space. Multipopulation differential evolution (MPDE) is conducted to locate the Pareto-optimal solutions, where the response predictors are taken as the fitness functions. This study shows that the proposed GEK-MPDE method can reduce warpage, volumetric shrinkage and cycle time by 5.7 %, 4.7 %, and 18.1 %, respectively. It helps plastic industry to realize collaborative scheduling of multiple tasks between different production lines by providing a low-cost and effective dynamic control method.

WITTGENSTEIN’IN DÜNYASININ SINIRLARINA ÇAĞDAŞ DİLBİLİM PENCERESİNDEN BAKIŞ
Authors: AKTÜRK Ekin 
Published: September 2023

Öz
Ludwig Wittgenstein 20. yüzyıla damgasını vuran felsefede ve mantıkta çığır açmış bir filozoftur. Wittgenstein’ı belli bir alana standart bir felsefe kalıbına sığdırmak mümkün gözükmemektedir. Dil felsefesi alanında büyük ses getiren Tractatus Logico- Philosophicus onun dil, zihin, mantık ve sözcelem kuramlarını okumaya ışık tutan en büyük feneridir. Wittgenstein’ın ünlü sözü; ‘Dilimin sınırları dünyamın sınırlarıdır.’ bahsi geçen eseri Tractatus’un temel nüvesi durumundadır. Dil, söz, mantık, felsefe ve matematiğin ‘gizemi’ onun eserlerinin temeli ve araştırıcıların da çözmeye uğraştığı en derin sorunsaldır. Gizem denizi, onun düşünce yapısının ikiye bölünmüş sayfalarını ortadan birleştiren bir bağlayıcı unsur olarak karşımızda durmaktadır. Kendi inşaa ettiği fikir duvarlarını yine kendi eliyle tuttuğu başka bir fikrin balyozuyla yıkmayı başaran çağının çok önemli bir düşünürü olan Wittgenstein, çağdaşı ve sonraki dönemlerde yetişen dilbilimci ve düşünürlerin ufkuna yeni ışık hatları çizmeyi başaran kozmogonik ve harmansal bir dizgenin fikirsel anahtarıdır. Bu araştırmada Wittgenstein’ın dil felsefesine çağdaş dilbilim penceresinden bakılarak onun açtığı ufuk çizgileriyle bağdaşık noktaları olan dilbilimciler kuram ve metodlarıyla incelenmiştir.

VIEWING THE LIMITS OF WITTGENSTEIN'S WORLD FROM A CONTEMPORARY LINGUIST WINDOW

Abstract
Ludwig Wittgenstein is a philosopher who revolutionized the philosophy and logic that left its mark on the 20th century. It does not seem possible to fit Wittgestein to a standard philosophy pattern in a certain area. Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, which has made a tremendous impact in the field of language philosophy, is his greatest lantern that sheds light on reading theories of language, mind, logic and utterance. Wittgenstein's famous word; "The limits of my language are the limits of my world." The work in question is the core of the Tractatus. The 'mystery' of language, word, logic, philosophy and mathematics is the basis of his work and the deepest problematic that researchers are trying to solve. The sea of mystery stands before us as a connecting element that unites the split pages of his mindset in the middle. Wittgenstein, a very important thinker of his age who succeeded in demolishing the walls of ideas he built himself with the sledgehammer of another idea he held with his own hand, is the intellectual key to a cosmogonic and colloquial system that succeeded in drawing new lines of light to the horizon of linguists and thinkers raised in his contemporaries and later periods. In this study, by looking at Wittgenstein's philosophy of language from the perspective of contemporary linguistics, linguists who have points compatible with the horizon lines he opened have been examined with their theories and methods.

Review on Anti-diabetic Research on Two Important Spices: Trachyspermum ammi and Pimpinella anisum
Authors: Godavari Amar , Moorthi Manicka , Rajasekar Arvindganth 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) arises from a cascade of factors, primarily stemming from defective insulin secretion by the pancreas and emergence of insulin resistance. These alterations disrupt lipid and protein metabolism, which may lay the foundation for hyperglycemia. The efficacy and safety of spice herbs from traditional medicine have long been regarded for the potential to treat this condition. Remarkably, many of the drugs we rely on today have origins, either directly or indirectly, in the realm of plant sources. The exploration of hypoglycemic potential extends beyond the boundaries of herbs and spices, embracing a diverse tapestry of food extracts. Among the spices, Trachyspermum ammi and Pimpinella anisum are plants in the Umbelliferae family, and their fruits are used traditionally as carminatives, aromatics, disinfectants, and galactogogues. In this comprehensive review the published scientific articles related to antidiabetic properties of both seeds are discussed.

Araştırmanın amacı, lojistik firmaları çalışanlarının örgütsel dışlanma algıları, iş gören devir hızı ve işyeri nezaketsizliği arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek ve örgütsel dışlanma algısı ve iş gören devir hızı arasındaki ilişkide işyeri nezaketsizliğinin aracılık etkisinin olup olmadığını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırmanın tasarımı, nicel araştırma desenlerinden nedensel tarama desenine göre tasarlanmıştır. Veriler anket tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Katılımcılar, lojistik firmasında görev alan 680 iş görendir. Araştırmanın yöntemi, toplanan verilerin, korelasyon ve regresyon kullanılarak analiz edilmesi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, örgütsel dışlanma algısının iş gören devir hızı algısı üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte örgütsel dışlanma algısının işyeri nezaketsizliği üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunduğu ve işyeri nezaketsizliğinin iş gören devir hızı algısını pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği elde edilen bulgulardandır. Dahası örgütsel dışlanma algısının iş gören devir hızı algısı üzerindeki etkisinde işyeri nezaketsizliğinin tam aracılık etkisinin bulunduğu elde edilen sonuçlardan bir tanesidir. Araştırmaya konu olan değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri daha önce inceleyen çalışmalardan farklı olarak bu çalışmada örgütsel dışlanma algısının iş gören devir hızı algısı üzerindeki etkisinde işyeri nezaketsizliğinin aracılık etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmayı diğer araştırmalardan ayıran bu sonucun alan yazına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Dahası, çalışanların dışlanma ve nezaketsizliğe maruz kalmalarının önlenmesinin iş gören devir hızını azaltacağı düşüncesinden yola çıkarak bu çalışma örgüt yöneticileri açısından önemli tespitler içermektedir.
