OBJECTIVE: We investigated the possibility of linking the data of the Swiss Laboratory for Particle Analysis (Silag), a valuable but incomplete data source in the field of asbestos-related diseases, to the Swiss National Cohort (SNC). With the resulting comprehensive dataset, we intended to provide a source for further research in the field. We also conducted preliminary analyses of data focusing on occupations and regional distribution of malignant pleural mesothelioma cases.
METHODS: Data of asbestos-exposed individuals available from the Silag were anonymously linked with the SNC by means of deterministic record linkage. From this linkage, data on occupation classified according to the international standard classification of occupations (ISCO) as well as the canton of residence in Switzerland could be retrieved.
RESULTS: Of 838 eligible individuals from the Silag data, 788 (94.0%) could be linked to the SNC database, including 476 mesothelioma cases. In 340 cases of the latter, data on occupation and industries were available. Although the majority of them were blue-collar workers, a significant proportion (n = 44, 12.9%) had executive professions. The Canton of residence in 1990 was established in 430 of subjects with mesothelioma. A cluster could be identified in eastern Switzerland, especially in the canton of Glarus.
CONCLUSIONS: It was possible to link the datasets to a large extent thereby creating a data source for further research. Of note, the linkage provided data on occupation of a selection of mesothelioma cases in Switzerland.

O uso de inseticidas tem se mantido como base do manejo de insetos praga por mais de 70 anos, e é crescente a demanda por bioinseticidas na expectativa de que esses sejam uma alternativa sustentável eficiente no controle de herbívoros. Conhecer os efeitos de bioinseticidas sobre as espécies polinizadoras é fator essencial para que seja assegurado o serviço de polinização e principalmente a saúde das espécies. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito dos bioinseticidas, extrato de Nim (Azadirachta indica) e DiPel (Bacillus thuringiensis) sobre as abelhas visitantes de flores de tomateiro. Realizou-se o plantio de mudas de tomateiro dos cultivares Pizzadoro e Santyno em três blocos. Cada bloco recebeu um tratamento: Nim, DiPel e testemunha. Foram coletados 111 indivíduos de abelhas, distribuídos entre sete espécies: Trigona spinipes, Apis mellifera, Exomalopsis sp., Bombus morio, Augochloropsis spp. Os resultados sugerem que os bioinseticidas não exercem efeito repelente ou letal sobre as abelhas e possivelmente o extrato de Nim funcione como atrativo para esses polinizadores.
BOĞAZKESEN: FATİH’İN ROMANI’NDA POSTMODERNİST TEKNİK
Authors: AKTAŞ Hacire , UĞURLU Seyit Battal 
Published: May 2022

Sanatta olduğu gibi kurgusal bir tür olan romanda da klasik, modernist ve postmodernist aşamalar gözlenir. İlki yirminci yüzyılın başlarında sona ererek yerini aynı yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinden itibaren modernist estetiğe terk eder. Postmodernist dönem ise 1960’larda görülmeye başlamakla birlikte hem teorik hem de anlatı sanatı açısından 1980’lerde yoğun şekilde tartışılmaya başlanır. Önce sosyal bilimler sonra da edebiyat kuramı alanında temel metinlerin yazılmasıyla birlikte postmodern roman sayısında artış görülür. İlk örnekleri yaklaşık yirmi yıl önce gözlenmesine rağmen postmodern romanın Türk edebiyatına girişi Orhan Pamuk’un 1990’da yayınlanan Kara Kitap adlı eseri ile başlar. Türk romanının önemli yazarlarının yazdığı eserler günümüze kadar çeşitlenerek artış göstermektedir.
Roman sanatının üçüncü kez form değiştirerek geldiği yeni aşamada teknik fazlasıyla öne çıkar. Yeni bir tarih ve toplum yorumu, toplumsal hiyerarşi dengesinin kaotik bir hal alması, üstkurmaca, oyunsuluk, çoğulculuk, metinlerarasılık, parodi, pastiş, polisiye, gerilim gibi öğelerle bezeli bu yeni anlatının insan ve mekânı veriş biçimi de parçalı bir durumu ortaya koyar. Roman sanatının bu aşamasında yazar ve okur rolleri de yeniden şekillenir.
Nedim Gürsel’in (1951-) Boğazkesen/Fatih’in Romanı (19915) adlı eseri postmodern bir romanda görülebilecek hemen hemen bütün anlatı teknikleri ile başarılı bir şekilde yazılmıştır. Eserin anlatı zamanında Boğaziçi’nde bir yalıda romanını yazmakta olan bir kurgusal yazar, tarihten ve gündelik yaşamdan kesitlerden güç alarak ilerler ve Fatih Sultan Mehmet zamanı ile eserin güncel zamanı arasında sarmal bir yapı inşa eder. Bu ikili zaman arasında gelgitlerle ilerleyen eseri besleyen alt öykülerde kadın ve aşk ve güç ilişkileri üzerinden çeşitlenir. Bu makale, Gürsel’in anılan eserinin oluşum sürecini ve postmodern tekniklerin kullanımını çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Published: May 2022

Objective: To explore the implementation of an incident learning system for quality management of radiotherapy in a low-income radiotherapy setting.
Materials and Methods: An incident learning system was specifically designed using the human-centred design, the waterfall model was implemented for error identification and learning of individual incidents. The incidents that occurred in external beam radiotherapy for 8 years, were reported.
Results and Discussion: A total of 122 incidents, 49 Near-misses and 28 non-conformance were identified with 4465 patients treated within the 8 years. The total average percentage of 2.73, 1.10, 0.63 and 4.46 were detected for incidents, near miss and non-conformance respectively. The average incident, near miss and non-conformance rate per 100 patients treated were 2.73, 1.10 and 0.63 respectively over the 8-years review period. The highest wrong total dose error of 79 occurred in the eighth year. Trend analysis identifies major improvements in clinical practice by measuring and analyzing patterns of incidents over time. The trending incident levels for each treatment site were in decreasing order of level 4, level 1, level 2, level 5, and level 3.
Conclusion: Treatment status gave an overview of the quality of clinical decisions and implementation in the management of radiotherapy patients. Effective implementation of incident learning can reduce the occurrence of near misses/incidents and enhance the culture of safety.
Recommendation: Future iterations, would improve the error tagging and solution recommendation parts, and extend the implementation all radiotherapy centres in the country.

Published: May 2022

Objective: The effect of geometric bifurcated system on flow of fluid may be greatly influenced by the angle of bifurcation or the density, capillary action etc. and other physical properties of the fluid. The aim of this work is to carry out a comparative analysis of the flow structure of polar solvent and unrefined hydrocarbons in a cylindrical bifurcated channel.
Materials and Methods: An experimental method was used to study the flow structure of water and crude oil, representing polar solvent and unrefined hydrocarbon respectively flowing through a bifurcated channel, with angles of bifurcation ranging from 10o, 20o, 30o, 40o, 50o and 60o, corresponding to 5o, 10o, 15o, 20o, 25o and 30o measured from the centerline of the main channel. The fluid samples were allowed to flow through the bifurcated channels and the time taken to recover 100ml, 200ml, 300ml 400ml and 500ml in a beaker is recorded. The bifurcated angle is resolved into vertical and horizontal components and the total length for both components obtained, as the flow velocity is computed for both lengths and the results presented.
Results: The profile of resulted shows that for polar solvents such as water, the velocity gradient increases as the vertical distance increases and horizontal distance decrease correspondingly due to increasing bifurcation angle, as a similar trend is also observed for crude oil.
Conclusion: For both samples representing their respective class of fluid, the result further shows the existence of velocity difference at opposite walls of the bifurcated daughter channels. The wall at higher velocity is usually the site where the skin friction that changes the flow from laminar to turbulent is created. The experimental result confirmed the effects of bifurcation on flow stability to significant in a more viscous fluid.
Recommendation: Fluid samples with different physical properties should be investigated using this experimental technic, and the impact of two-stage bifurcated system can also be investigated to ascertain the degree of stability offer by the geometric bifurcated network system.
DEUTERON INDUCED FUSION REACTION TARGET FOR INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION (ICF)

Published: May 2022

Objective: Energy efficiency enhancement is one of the most effective ways to achieve Fast ignition (FI) in inertial confinement fusion ICF. High energy output gain is essential for ICF reactors and greater energy efficiency can reduce energy costs. The injection of Ion beam is one method used to achieve FI fusion reaction in ICF. A fusion of deuteron with lithium-6 isotope, DLi6 is reviewed in this work alongside the fusion of Deuterium – Tritium (DT), Deuterium – Deuterium (DD), Deuterium – Helium-3 (DHe3) and Proton – Boron-11 (PB11).
Materials and Methods: In this work, it is proposed the projection of laser-driven deuteron beam in the FI scheme for ICF in the DLi6 plasma. Fusion occurs as the projected deuteron ion beam hits the lithium-6 target in the thermonuclear fusion reaction.
Results: The results show that the fusion reactions of DD, DHe3 and PB11 all require high input kinetic energy (Mega-electronvolts) for the fusion process to occur because of higher Coulomb barrier and the probability of fusion increases by increasing the input energy drive with low output energy gain. DT fusion which require low input kinetic energy of about 400 KeV with high cross section and generated considerable high output energy gain of about 17.59 MeV, However this fusion reaction require large tritium inventory and tritium does not occur naturally, therefore the need for tritium breeding. When the energy of deuteron beam is projected at 200 keV to lithium-6 isotope target, although D + Li6 has a low total cross section of about 19.409 mbarn, the stopping power of the electrons would be more than ions, nuclear stopping power is considerable at very low deuterons energies, the Coulomb interaction of deuteron and lithium-6 occurs with output energy gain of about 22.373 MeV.
Conclusion: The investigations indicate that fusion target energy gain efficiency is independent of lithium-6 numerical density. The highest value of energy efficiency gain occurs with lower input kinetic energy of deuteron beam of about 200 KeV to lithium-target.
Recommendation: This findings contribute to the core mission of NIF in achieving fast ignition with low ignition energy input to achieve Lawson break-even or "ignition" point of the fusion fuel pellet, where it gives off 100% or more energy than it absorbs. However the simulation results were based on programmed model of Geant4 Hadr03. This results can be validated with the appropriate experimental design of the Hadr03 process.

Published: May 2022

Since roro passenger ships have specific characteristics in handling cargo with the roll-on-roll-off loading and unloading system that must be equipped with a ramp door. Therefore, it is important to conduct the ultimate strength analysis by considering local loads and global loads to ensure the level of safety and reliability of the ship structure. The aim of this research is focused on the investigation of the structural response and the ultimate strength of the roro passenger ship using the non-linear finite element method. The dynamic explicit method is conducted to estimate the large displacement of the deformed structures such as the hull girders, deck girders and plates. In the structural response analysis, the results shows that maximum stress was occurred on the deck girders due to the sagging bending moment load. In the ultimate strength analysis, it is identified that hydrostatic load have reduced the ultimate strength about 33 %. Otherwise, the ultimate strength is increased about 1 %, in the sagging condition.
HIGHLIGHTS

The nonlinear behavior of the roro passenger ship ultimate strength due to the combined global and local load is presented
On the hogging condition, the addition of local load (hydrostatic pressure) reduce the roro ship ultimate strength about 33 % compare to the pure global ultimate bending load
On the sagging condition, the hydrostatic pressure have slightly increased the ultimate strength around 1 %

Authors: Balasubramanian Ashok Kumar , Ramachandran Sitharthan , Shanmugavelu Senthilrani 
Published: May 2022

In renewable sources, especially Photo Voltaic (PV) is actively playing an important role in both autonomous and grid-connected applications. A real challenge with any PV system is its dependency on sun’s irradiance. Hence, it needs a supporting system for obtaining its maximum output power irrespective of the weather condition. The objective of this paper is to design a Genetic Algorithm (GA) tuned PID controller for a boost converter. Such design will track possible output power from the PV system. In the proposed controller, Perturb and Observe (P&O) methodology has been used for enhancing the system output in presence of varying irradiance. The advantage of discussed control strategy is that it adequately responds with the change in irradiance value and also boosts the conversion operation efficiency. The system performance has been validated both in MATLAB simulation and also in hardware implementation with 18V and 0.5A rated solar panel. The control algorithm has been implemented using low power, low-cost PIC16F877A microcontroller.
HIGHLIGHTS

An efficient MPPT controller has been developed to track the optimal MPP for PV system
GA optimized PID control strategy has been utilized that operates effectively and enhances PV performance efficiency
The developed control strategy has the capability to track the optimal power at all varying irradiance conditions

New Approach Based on Homomorphic Encryption to Secure Medical Images in Cloud Computing
Authors: Kartit Ali 
Published: May 2022

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for the adoption of cloud in healthcare to process medical data. Unfortunately, this emerging new paradigm faces several challenges, as customer data is stored on remote servers rather than on premise solutions. This is considered to be the main root cause of the major security vulnerabilities encountered in outsourced calculations. Indeed, to solve this problem we used encryption; customers should encode their sensitive data when considering adopting cloud services. One of the biggest challenges is establishing controls that completely protect secret data from insider attacks, while also supporting the computations. In addition, applying complex encryption schemes can have a negative effect on system performance.
This study focuses in particular on homomorphic techniques and their main applications, as well as their limitations. Unlike traditional encryption methods, homomorphic schemes are used not only to reduce the security risks associated with cloud technology, but also to process cipher texts. However, current efforts in this area need to be further developed to strike the right balance between privacy risks and data utility. In this regard, we offer a hybrid approach that offers the possibility of quickly processing health records in a secure manner. Our main contribution is the proposal of a new method based on Hadoop MapReduce functions in conjunction with a multi-agent system to maintain data confidentiality. In addition, and to design intelligent distributed computing for efficient management of Virtual Machine (VM) workloads, we used a method based on the Bat Algorithm (BA).

Element Contamination and Probable Ecological Concern in Surface Sediments of the Black Sea’s Iğneada Coasts
Authors: Bat Levent , Şahin Fatih , Öztekin Ayşah , Arici Elif 
Published: May 2022

Enrichments of metals in surface sediments from Iğneada shores of the Black Sea were analysed to define the level of contamination in the region. For this purposes, Cd, Hg, Pb, Cu, Cr, Ni, Zn, Mn, Al and Fe levels in surface sediments were studied from 6 stations. Sediment samples were collected using a Van Veen grab. Elemental analyses in sediments were measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The concentrations of metals varied from 0.031 to 0.091 for Cd; 0.025 to 0.064 for Hg; 3.32 to 7.88 for Pb; 5.75 to 13.42 for Cu; 25.63 to 40.07 for Cr; 14.8 to 28.2 for Ni; 18.29 to 33.21 for Zn; 268 to 377 for Mn; 10,987 to 17,101 for Al; and 11,521 to 20,700 mg·kg₋1 for Fe mg·kg₋1 dry wt. Metal levels were found to be much lower than recommended levels when compared to Sediment Quality Criteria for surface sediments. Enrichment Factors (EF), Geo-Accumulation Index (Igeo) and Pollution Load Index (PLI) were applied to the data for assessing the sediment quality. EF values were nearly between 0.33 and 2.4. Mostly EF for metals were less than 2, may be come from natural weathering processes or crustal substances, indicate no enrichment. However, some results of EF values slightly exceeding 2 indicate moderate enrichment. These rates aren’t thought to be important. Igeo values for all metals were less than 0 at all stations, suggesting that the Iğneada shores was uncontaminated by these studied metals. PLI values ranged from 0.410 in station I to 0.747 in station IV, indicating that Iğneada shores in the Black Sea were less impacted by these metals. PLI value for zone was found as 0.553665002. The Igeo and PLI values also suggest that surface sediments in Iğneada shores of the Black Sea is uncontaminated.
HIGHLIGHTS

Metal enrichments in surface sediments from the Black Sea coasts of İğneada were studied to determine the level of contamination in the area
EF values less than or equal to 2 indicate that there is no contamination, and that the concentration is within the natural background prediction range. Only the EF values for Cr and Ni were between 2 and 5, indicating moderate enrichment
The Igeo analyses revealed that the İğneada shores sediments were unpolluted for all studied metal levels at all stations
All PLI values in the stations were between 0 and 1, indicating that İğneada shores were less impacted by these metals
