MEASURING DIGITAL INEQUALITY ACROSS THE LIFE CYCLE: AGE, GENDER, AND EDUCATION EFFECTS IN TURKIYE

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Rapid technological developments have forced economic actors to adapt to the digital world, revealing the economic significance of digital inequalities. This study investigates digital inequality dynamics throughout the life cycle in Turkey by creating a multidimensional digital welfare indicator. This indicator encompasses access to digital tools, usage frequency, purposes, and digital experience, using TURKSTAT's Household Information Technology Usage Surveys. Digital inequality is measured via the Gini coefficient across age, gender, and education. Findings show that digital inequality in Turkey decreased significantly in the last decade, with the Gini coefficient falling from 0.539 in 2015 to 0.285 in 2023. Digital inequality increases steadily across age groups after youth and is significantly higher among elderly individuals, women, and those with low education. While digital inequalities among women exceed those among men, this gap has widened over the last decade. Digital welfare follows an inverted U-shape throughout the life cycle, peaking in middle age. Education significantly reduces age and gender-based digital inequalities. Policy recommendations include digital literacy programs for the elderly, gender-sensitive support strategies, and integration of digital skills into lifelong learning frameworks.
A Keratin 7 and E-Cadherin Signature Is Highly Predictive of Tubo-Ovarian High-Grade Serous Carcinoma Prognosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

During tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) progression, tumoral cells undergo phenotypic changes in their epithelial marker profiles, which are essential for dissemination processes. Here, we set out to determine whether standard epithelial markers can predict HGSC patient prognosis. Levels of E-CADH, KRT7, KRT18, KRT19 were quantified in 18 HGSC cell lines by Western blot and in a Discovery cohort tissue microarray (TMA) (n = 101 patients) using immunofluorescence. E-CADH and KRT7 levels were subsequently analyzed in the TMA of the Canadian Ovarian Experimental Unified Resource cohort (COEUR, n = 1158 patients) and in public datasets. Epithelial marker expression was highly variable in HGSC cell lines and tissues. In the Discovery cohort, high levels of KRT7 and KRT19 were associated with an unfavorable prognosis, whereas high E-CADH expression indicated a better outcome. Expression of KRT7 and E-CADH gave a robust combination to predict overall survival (OS, p = 0.004) and progression free survival (PFS, p = 5.5 × 10−4) by Kaplan–Meier analysis. In the COEUR cohort, the E-CADH-KRT7 signature was a strong independent prognostic biomarker (OS, HR = 1.6, p = 2.9 × 10−4; PFS, HR = 1.3, p = 0.008) and predicted a poor patient response to chemotherapy (p = 1.3 × 10−4). Our results identify a combination of two epithelial markers as highly significant indicators of HGSC patient prognosis and treatment response.
World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology 32 2009 Inter-frame Collusion Attack in SS-N Video

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract—Video watermarking is usually considered as watermarking of a set of still images. In frame-by-frame watermarking approach, each video frame is seen as a single watermarked image, so collusion attack is more critical in video watermarking. If the same or redundant watermark is used for embedding in every frame of video, the watermark can be estimated and then removed by watermark estimate remodolulation (WER) attack. Also if uncorrelated watermarks are used for every frame, these watermarks can be washed out with frame temporal filtering (FTF). Switching watermark system or so-called SS-N system has better performance against WER and FTF attacks. In this system, for each frame, the watermark is randomly picked up from a finite pool of watermark patterns. At first SS-N system will be surveyed and then a new collusion attack for SS-N system will be proposed using a new algorithm for separating video frame based on watermark pattern. So N sets will be built in which every set contains frames carrying the same watermark. After that, using WER attack in every set, N different watermark patterns will be estimated and removed later. Keywords—Watermark estimation remodulation (WER), Frame Temporal Averaging (FTF), switching watermark system. I.
Effects of exogenous zinc on the physiological characteristics and enzyme activities of Passiflora edulis Sims f. edulis seedlings

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Passionflower ( Passiflora edulis Sims) is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas for edible, medicinal and skin care product processing, and the market demand is large. Zinc (Zn) is a necessary trace element for plant growth and development. In many countries, the content of Zn in soil is low and/or bioavailability is low. The exogenous application of Zn has become a common agronomic measure in agriculture. However, the effect of Zn on the physiological characteristics and enzyme activity of passionflower seedlings is not clear. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to analyse the effects of different concentrations of Zn (0, 200, 400, 800 mg kg −1 ) on the plant growth, photosynthetic pigments, osmotic regulators, membrane system and antioxidant enzyme system of purple passionflower ( Passiflora edulis Sims f. edulis ) seedlings, and Pearson correlation and principal component analyses were performed. The results showed that (1) the 200 mg kg −1 Zn treatment increased the contents of chlorophyll a (37.65%), chlorophyll b (41.22%), chlorophyll a+b (38.59%) and carotenoids (29.74%). The value of chlorophyll a/b changed little and had no effect on leaf growth. (2) The contents of proline (Pro) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in P . edulis Sims f . edulis seedlings treated with 400 mg kg −1 Zn increased significantly by 116.84% and 42.69%, respectively. The activities of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) increased by 16.82% and 18.70%, respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), leaf area (LA), leaf perimeter (LP) and leaf width (LW) decreased significantly by 47.20%, 19.75%, 8.32% and 11.97%, respectively. (3) 800 mg kg −1 Zn significantly increased the contents of Pro (202.56%) and MDA (26.7%) and the activities of CAT (16.00%) and POD (67.00%), while the soluble sugar (SS), SOD, LA, LP and LW decreased significantly by 36.67%, 32.86%, 23.36%, 8.32% and 11.18%, respectively. (4) There was a significant positive correlation between Pro and photosynthetic pigments and between SOD and leaf growth and a significant negative correlation between POD and SS and between SOD and MDA. (5) A low concentration (200 mg kg −1 ) of Zn promoted the growth of P . edulis Sims f . edulis seedlings and allowed stress caused by high Zn concentrations to be tolerated. The results of this study can provide a reference for the application of Zn fertilizer to P . edulis Sims f. edulis .

Effect of Ball Burnishing Pressure on Surface Roughness by Low Plasticity Burnishing Inconel 718 Pre-Turned Surface

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The low plasticity burnished surface roughness is significantly affected by the low plasticity burnishing (LPB) parameters. This research proposed the analytical prediction model to predict the LPBed surface roughness and optimal LPB pressure based on Hertz contact mechanics and the slip-line field theory. In this study, the surface formatted process was divided into the smoothing stage (SS) and the indentation stage (IS). The smoothing mechanism of SS and the deterioration mechanism of IS were analyzed theoretically. The analytical prediction model for the LPBed surface roughness was proposed based on Hertz contact mechanics and slip-line field theory. The proposed analytical prediction model was validated by the LPBed surface roughness of AISI 1042, and the error of the analytically predicted results was less than 13.3%. After validation, the proposed model was applied to predict the LPBed surface roughness of Inconel 718. The single-factor experiments were conducted. The error between the proposed model prediction results and experimental results was less than 7% for the LPBed surface roughness of Inconel 718. The optimal LPB pressure interval was calculated to be [12.2 MPa, 17.5 MPa], corresponding to the experimental one as [12 MPa, 18 MPa]. It indicated that the proposed model could accurately predict the LPBed surface roughness and conduct the LPB processing.
The biomechanics of lateral knee bracing

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In Part I of our study on lateral knee bracing, we evaluated brace effectiveness using cadaveric knees and two commercially available braces (McDavid and Omni). The results indicated that for low-rate dynamic valgus loading, neither brace provided significant pro tection against MCL injury. Also, four potentially ad verse effects were noted. The goals in Part II were to: 1) determine the clinical significance of brace induced MCL preload; 2) define the functional character of an "ideal" brace; 3) design and validate a surrogate knee model for testing brace effectiveness; and 4) determine brace performance under impact loading using the sur rogate knee and six commercially available brace types (manufactured by DonJoy, McDavid, Mueller, Omni Sci entific, Stromgren-Scott, and Tru-Fit). Knee braces, modified to measure varus/valgus bending force, were used to determine MCL preload effects in 13 human volunteers. An anatomically correct surrogate knee model, instrumented to measure ligament/tendon ten sion and medial joint opening, was developed and validated using information from our previous cadaver studies and results of analyses on the effects of high strain rates (100% versus 1000% strain/sec) on MCL failure. Over 500 impact tests were performed on the surrogate knee in unbraced versus braced conditions. Tests were conducted for three impactor masses, two flexion angles, and free or constrained limb positions. Impact safety factors (ISF) were calculated for each test condition and brace type. An ISF of 1.50 (MCL load reduction of 30%) was considered significant. The results were: 1) brace induced MCL preload in vivo was negated by joint compressive forces; 2) the "ideal" brace should increase the lateral force at MCL injury by 80%; 3) at a 1000% strain/sec strain rate, MCL failure force was increased by 28%; and 4) on the average, only one brace exceeded the minimum ISF (DonJoy, average ISF = 1 .51 ).

MANAGEMENT OF THE PROCESS FORMATION OF CULTURE OF THE PROJECT ACTIVITY OF PUPILS OF THE GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOL

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The article deals with the problem of managing the process of forming the culture of project activity of pupils of the general education school. Based on the analysis of the views of scientists, the author considered the essence of the concepts: "project activity", "culture of project activity", "formation of culture of project activity" and "management of the process of formation of cultures of project activity of students". Today, in the face of socio-economic instability, education has been challenged to teach the younger generation to design their own personalities in accordance with current social requirements. It is the project activity in our time that becomes a means of preparing students for a future successful life. It becomes an area where the pupil can be as a person, and the teacher in this case provides the translation of the cultural heritage of the project activity, contributes to the development of value orientations in the field of design, shapes the need to be successful and confident in difficult life situations, be able to make informed decisions goals. The efficiency of forming the culture of project activity in the educational process is facilitated by the appropriate scientific systematic management, which is connected with the planning, structuring and organization of this process in the context of a comprehensive school. The author emphasizes that the performance depends on the problematization of the educational environment, which should be gradual: from the solution of a practical problem, through the solution of problem situations, to the implementation of multifaceted projects. Planning to form a culture of project activity involves creating a bank of life problems as a basis forexpanding the scope of design in the educational process. The management should also take into account the organizational structure of the process of forming a culture of project activity from the gradual introduction of the student in the design field to mastering the project field, when project activity becomes a need for students, an instrument of orientation in the problems of their life.
Am I fit for this physical activity? Neural embedding of physical conditioning from inertial sensors

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors are present in everyday devices such as smartphones and fitness watches. As a result, the array of health-related research and applications that tap onto this data has been growing, but little attention has been devoted to the prediction of an individual's heart rate (HR) from IMU data, when undergoing a physical activity. Would that be even possible? If so, this could be used to design personalized sets of aerobic exercises, for instance. In this work, we show that it is viable to obtain accurate HR predictions from IMU data using Recurrent Neural Networks, provided only access to HR and IMU data from a short-lived, previously executed activity. We propose a novel method for initializing an RNN's hidden state vectors, using a specialized network that attempts to extract an embedding of the physical conditioning (PCE) of a subject. We show that using a discriminator in the training phase to help the model learn whether two PCEs belong to the same individual further reduces the prediction error. We evaluate the proposed model when predicting the HR of 23 subjects performing a variety of physical activities from IMU data available in public datasets (PAMAP2, PPG-DaLiA). For comparison, we use as baselines the only model specifically proposed for this task and an adapted state-of-the-art model for Human Activity Recognition (HAR), a closely related task. Our method, PCE-LSTM, yields over 10% lower mean absolute error. We demonstrate empirically that this error reduction is in part due to the use of the PCE. Last, we use the two datasets (PPG-DaLiA, WESAD) to show that PCE-LSTM can also be successfully applied when photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors are available, outperforming the state-of-the-art deep learning baselines by more than 30%.
Lung transplantation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Lung transplantation is a globally accepted treatment for some advanced lung diseases, giving the recipients longer survival and better quality of life. Since the first transplant successfully performed in 1983, more than 40 thousand transplants have been performed worldwide. Of these, about seven hundred were in Brazil. However, survival of the transplant is less than desired, with a high mortality rate related to primary graft dysfunction, infection, and chronic graft dysfunction, particularly in the form of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. New technologies have been developed to improve the various stages of lung transplant. To increase the supply of lungs, ex vivo lung reconditioning has been used in some countries, including Brazil. For advanced life support in the perioperative period, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and hemodynamic support equipment have been used as a bridge to transplant in critically ill patients on the waiting list, and to keep patients alive until resolution of the primary dysfunction after graft transplant. There are patients requiring lung transplant in Brazil who do not even come to the point of being referred to a transplant center because there are only seven such centers active in the country. It is urgent to create new centers capable of performing lung transplantation to provide patients with some advanced forms of lung disease a chance to live longer and with better quality of life.

Binding of the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by soluble components of human umbilical cord.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Pre-eclampsia, the most common pregnancy associated syndrome, is connected with remodelling of extracellular matrix of the umbilical cord tissues. Since the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is known to be a stimulator of collagen and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, one may expect that it plays an important role in such a remodelling. Studies performed on the umbilical cords of 10 control and 10 pre-eclamptic newborns demonstrated that both the umbilical cord arterial wall and Wharton's jelly contain FGF mainly in complexes with the components of different molecular mass. Pre-eclampsia is associated with a decrease of endogenous FGF-binding by soluble high molecular mass components of the umbilical cord. It is suggested that FGF released from these complexes may be actively bound by fibroblasts of the umbilical cord, stimulating them to produce collagen and sulphated glycosaminoglycans.
