Classification of Glaucoma Using Invariant Moment Methods on K-Nearest Neighbor and Random Forest Models
Authors: Arsyan Athalla Rizky , Al Maki Wikky Fawwaz 
Published: May 2022

One of the cardiovascular diseases that can interfere with eye vision is glaucoma. This disease is caused by high pressure on the inside of the eyeball to cause blindness slowly. In general, screening or early diagnosis can help prevent glaucoma, specifically by analyzing several eye components affected by pressure, including the optical disc, optical cup, and blood vessels. Thus, by blending machine learning algorithms and computer vision technology, glaucoma classification and identification can be accelerated and improved. This study applied the Invariant Moment method to extract the optical cup and blood vessel segmentation's shape, scale, and rotation features. To obtain segmentation results for these two objects, we threshold two image datasets, DrishtiGS-1 and REFUGE, and implemented the approach described in this study to analyze system performance on these datasets. For the classification method used in this study, we proposed KNN and RF models to evaluate the suitability of the methods we used on the REFUGE and DrishtiGS-1 datasets and demonstrated that both models could be used to identify glaucoma through the use of fundus images. When the datasets were merged, we obtained 81.86% and 75.86% of accuracy when using blood vessel and optical cup segmentation results, respectively

Bir Karış Fazla Şimendifer: Osmanlı’dan Cumhuriyet’e Demiryolu Politikasının Değişimi
Authors: AKCAKAYA Umut 
Published: May 2022

Osmanlı yöneticileri, XIX. yüzyıl ortasında gelişen demiryolu teknolojisinin önemini anlamakta geç kalmamış ve bu teknolojiyi ülkeye getirmekte istekli olmuştur. Bu tercihte, demiryolları sayesinde üretim ve ticaret hacminin artacağı düşüncesi belirleyici olmuştur. Bu sayede devletin çok ihtiyaç duyduğu gelir artışının sağlanabilecektir. Ayrıca modernleşme hareketinin gereği olarak merkezi denetimin kuvvetlendirilmesi de mümkün olacaktır. Ancak teknolojik ve ekonomik yetersizlikler ile siyasi bağımlılık, Osmanlı Devleti’nin bağımsız bir demiryolu politikası izlemesine imkân vermemiştir. Yabancı sermaye tarafından inşa edilen demiryolu hatları, ihracata yönelik tarımsal ürünler üreten bölgeleri liman kentlerine bağlama amacını gütmüştür. Buna karşın ülkenin iç ekonomik ve sosyal bütünleşmesi ile siyasi ve askeri gereklilikler göz ardı edilmiştir.
Cumhuriyet kadrolarının demiryolundan beklentileri, temelde Osmanlı yönetimininkinden farklı olmamıştır. Ancak Milli Mücadele’den bağımsız bir devlet olarak çıkan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, Osmanlı Devleti’nin aksine, bağımsız bir demiryolu politikası belirleyecek güce sahip olmuştur. Demiryolu politikası, dış baskılarla değil ülkenin kalkınması ve savunulması gibi milli ihtiyaçlara göre tespit edilmiştir. Demiryolu inşasında üretim merkezlerini tüketim merkezlerine bağlayarak iktisadi bir denge kurmak, bunun yanında demiryollarının geçtiği bölgelerde iktisadi hayatta olduğu kadar sosyal hayat üzerinde de bir gelişmenin sağlanması amaçlanmıştır.

19. yüzyılda meydana gelen Sanayi Devrimi’nin ardından dünya genelinde büyük bir değişim ve dönüşüm yaşanmıştır. Bu dönemde yaşanan değişimlerin en somut örneği kentlerin alt ve üst yapılarında meydana gelen gelişmelerdir. Avrupa’da meydana gelen bu gelişmeler Osmanlı’ya yansımakta gecikmemiştir. Nitekim, Tanzimat’ın ilanıyla uygulanan reform çalışmaları çerçevesinde başlayan imar faaliyetleri liman kentlerinde daha belirgin bir şekilde ortaya çıkmıştır.
Tesalya Bölgesi’nin önemli limanlarından biri olan Golos Kazası’nda bu dönemde önemli imar faaliyetleri gerçekleşmiştir. Şehir, Yunanistan’ın Doğusu’nda Ege Denizi kıyısında bulunmaktadır. Tırhala Sancağı’na bağlı küçük bir yerleşim birimi olan şehir, Tanzimat ile birlikte hızlı bir şekilde modernleşme sürecine girmiştir. Bu denli hızlı gelişme ve modernleşme şehrin coğrafi yapısından kaynaklanmaktadır. Kaza’nın bulunduğu Tesalya toprakları oldukça verimli olup, başta tarım olmak üzere elde edilen ürünlerin ihraç edilmesinde Golos Limanı önemli bir işlev görmüştür. Ticari faaliyetlerin gelişmesiyle birlikte şehrin fiziki yapısı değişmiştir. Karayolları modernize edilmiş ve demir yollarının yapımı ile iç bölgelerdeki ürünlerin kıyı kentlerine taşınması sağlanmıştır. Telgrafın gelmesiyle birlikte farklı bölgeler arasında ticari faaliyetler artmıştır. Aynı zamanda savunma açısından da önemli bir konumda bulunmasından dolayı şehirde askeri amaçlı yerler tamir ve inşa edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen imar faaliyetleri sonucu kısa bir zamanda büyük bir gelişme göstererek modern bir liman kenti haline gelmiştir.

Published: May 2022

Skin is composed of major layers, a superficial epidermis and a deeper dermis. The color of skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, namely albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs. Vitiligo is associated with significant psychosocial morbidity and profound effect on quality of life.
Topical steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, phototherapy and surgery are most common treatments. However, there are many patients who do not respond to any of these modalities. The transplantation of cultured or non-cultured melanocyte is the most important treatment for hypopigmentory disorders. In this study, we are going to assess the history of melanocyte cultivation and evaluate the effectiveness of transplantation cultured cells.
We examined the beginning process of isolation, characterization, and transplantation of epidermal cells. This review, summarize our current understanding of the cutaneous pigmentary system from the start of synthesis in the pigment cells, along with the response of repigmentation. During the production of melanin, melanosomes are transferred to neighboring keratinocyte in order to form perinuclear melanin caps. The objective of this review is to analyze the melanocytes transplantation in the last century up to now, and how epidermal cells can increase pigmentation in hypo-pigmented areas in skin disorders. Also, we focus on the story of the melanocyte back to 1950.
In addition, prior systemic therapy was associated with a significant increase significant increase based on combined additional therapy, achieving desired results and improved outcomes. Despite the short study of a long way of melanocyte assessment and follow up patient's treatment, results of the all reports were confirmed the efficacy of the used method in the treatment of stable vitiligo who did not respond to the common algorithms of non-invasive treatments.

The results of the use of technological equipment for the extraction of sod peat as a raw material for the production of activated charcoals are presented. It is shown that more acceptable variant, from "price–quality" point of view, is the option with the use of equipment manufactured by RUE "Mogilevenergo". The modernization of the spinneret of KTD-1 machine has been substantiated, which makes it possible to obtain activated carbon of the required quality from the extracted products. The main technical and economic indicators of its application have been determined: productivity, fuel consumption and labor costs for the extraction of 1 ton of peat of standard moisture content, utilization rates of cycle and working time. It was found that replacing of standard mouthpieces with a diameter of 75 mm by mouthpieces with a diameter of 40 mm reduces the field loading density and cycle charges. At the same time, the extraction of sod peat of a smaller diameter (within the limits of the investigated ones) increases the seasonal harvest, in our experiments – by
1.4 times. Optimal schemes for the movement of machines on working aisles have been developed, which ensure highquality
performance of all operations provided for by the technological regulations. The main reasons that reduce the productivity of the KTD-1 machine when extracting sod peat with a diameter of 40 mm are established, and methods for their elimination are proposed. It is shown that for the stable operation of KTD-1 mining machine, the timber content of peat deposit should not exceed 1.5 %.

Published: May 2022

In this book, world-renowned theatre artist Pamela Howard OBE shows how her life has always been part of the art of making theatre. Part memoir, part a personal account of artistic creation, it is a work of art in its own right. Its 12 chapters, accompanied by original drawings, offer insights into Pamela Howard’s creative world and the journey through life of a celebrated artist, ranging from her early life and influences, to her time at art college and the inspiration she gained from travelling the world.
Following the trajectory of her life, the 12 ‘dreams’ are poised between memory and history and give an account of an artist’s growth, resilience, working patterns, and life-changing encounters with remarkable personalities and artists, as well as the practical side of working in the theatre, in visual arts and in education. Her art tells unexpected stories of little-noticed people and émigré communities, and makes performance for diverse audiences from the unique experience of one’s own life. Pamela Howard's dreams have led her to work across the globe and teach and inspire several generations of theatre makers, scenographers, designers and visual artists. The Art of Making Theatre passes on that inspiration afresh and demonstrates that being an artist is not a one-off project but a way of life.

IntroductionIn Mexico, cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the most important cause of mortality and disability. We aimed to analyze the mortality rate due to specific causes of atherothrombotic CVD from 2011 to 2015.Material and methodsWe analyzed 3,105,975 death certificates issued from January 2011 through December 2015. The 10th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes was used to select CVD death records for ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease. Regional analyses from the different federal states were also performed.ResultsWe analyzed 594,370 (19.1%) death certificates. Age-standardized CVD mortality showed a more stable pattern, from 96.7 per 100,000 people in 2011, to 111.7 per 100,000 in 2015. Cause-specific mortality rates increased more during the period for ischemic heart disease (63.8 vs. 74.8 per 100,000 people, in 2011 vs. 2015, respectively), as compared to heart failure (6.9 vs. 8.1 per 100,000 people), cerebrovascular disease (28.4 vs. 30.2 per 100,000 people), or peripheral artery disease (0.52 vs. 0.55 per 100,000 people). Overall, the survival age was significantly shorter in men (mean age at death 72.04±16.23 years) than in women (77.73±14.77). Ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease showed the shortest survivals. The number of deaths increased steadily among the older population, with the steepest increase for overall ischemic heart disease over time.ConclusionsAtherothrombotic CVD mortality in Mexico increased during the study period due to ischemic heart disease. Compared to their counterparts, survival age was shorter in men and in patients with ischemic heart disease and stroke.

В работе представлены результаты проверки жизнеспособности и активности хлебопекарных и винных дрожжей, хранящихся разными способами в коллекции научно-производственного Центра микробиологии и вирусологии. Все исследуемые штаммы хлебопекарных дрожжей, за исключением Schizosaccharomyces pombe, в разной степени сохранили свою активность после длительного хранения. Наибольшая подъемная сила наблюдалась у культур Saccharomyces cerevisiaeРаса Щелковская и Saccharomyces cerevisiaeРаса «Сочи Б» при хранении под минеральным маслом. Из всех видов хранения наилучшим для винных дрожжей являются методы пересева и хранения в 10% растворе глицерина при низких температурах. При этих способах хранения сохраняются высокая жизнеспособность и бродильная активность. При хранении под минеральным маслом активность дрожжей снижается.
The article presents the results of testing the viability and activity of baker's and wine yeast stored in various ways in the collection of the Research and Production Center of Microbiology and Virology. All observed strains of baker's yeast except of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, retained their activity to varying degrees after long-term preservation. The highest lifting force was observed in cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rasa Schelkovskaya and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rasa «Sochi B» when preserved with mineral oil. From the all preservation methods, the best one for wine yeast is subculture and storage in a 10% glycerol solution at low temperatures. With these preservation methods, high viability and fermentation activity are maintained. When stored with mineral oil, yeast activity is reduced.
