This study investigates the causal effect of the earthquake in Turkey on construction, transportation, and insurance stocks. The results reveal a significant negative impact on these stocks. This indicates that the earthquake induced a high level of uncertainty, resulting in a substantial negative influence on the stock market\'s value on a subsequent day. In addition, the results indicate that stocks are lower than expected without an earthquake. The point-wise causal effect refers to the variation between the expected and actual data, and it remains relatively stable near zero until the action is implemented, at which point it quickly decreases and then increases. In relative terms, the construction stock is more affected by the earthquake, followed by the transportation stock. The findings have important implications for investors and policymakers, highlighting the importance of preparing for natural disasters to reduce their negative impact on the stock market.

Bi-isotropic mediums present an outstanding challenge for the scientific community, their characteristics have permitted the appearance of new and stupefying applications. In this paper, we are interested in the novel effect of chirality, which characterized through new proposed formalism, to highlight the nonlinear effect, is due to the magnetization vector under the influence of a strong electric field. We apply in this work the extended (G^\'/G)- expansion method with varying dispersion, nonlinearity to determine some family of solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equation in bi-isotropic optical fiber, which illustrate the propagation of light with two modes of propagation , a right circular polarized wave (RCP) and a left circular polarized wave(LCP) having two different wave vectors in nonlinear bi-isotropic medium. Various novel exact solutions of bi-isotropic optical soliton are reported.

There are strong indicators of the link between diets and increased burdens of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and some cancers. Healthy dietary patterns were defined as diets that are high in fruits, vegetables and non-fat dairy (low in saturated and trans fats). The aims of this study were to determine the fatty acid (FA) profile of meat (poultry, pork, lamb and beef) and the calculated atherogenic index (AI) and thrombogenic index (TI). Poultry, pork and lamb contained more monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) than saturated fatty acids (SFAs). Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) demonstrated that the first discriminant explained 56.11% of the total variance and the second discriminant explained 23.85% of the total variance. The established p value of Wilks\' test was p < 0.0001. By canonical correlation, the first and the second discriminant functions in the LDA were established as 0.995 and 0.995, respectively. AI and TI values of less than 0.5 and 1.0, respectively, were previously advised. The obtained AI values in poultry (0.37-0.45) were lower than those in pork (0.50-0.53), lamb (0.54) and beef (0.93) meats. The obtained TI values in poultry (0.81-0.87) were also lower than in pork (1.09-1.18), lamb (1.44) and beef (1.93) meats. Beneficial nutrition habits, i.e., nutrition according to the food pyramid and a Mediterranean diet, should reduce the rate of coronary heart disease and result in better health outcomes for consumers.

This study focuses on the results and implementation of guanxi diplomacy in China�s Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with Latin American nations, particularly when SOEs formulate and implement FDIs in support of Western Hemisphere allies from 2010 to 2015. The realization of the investigation show that �guanxi diplomacy of communique� constitutes an important element of foreign direct investment (FDI) that this affects the China�s rise, performance and strategy of China�s state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Latin-American and countries. As identified by this study, there are three values that could affect the orientation of FTA and FDI by China�s SOEs, namely: state visits, domestic market demand, and China�s image in Latin America. First, the study investigates how SOEs implemented the effect on Latin American economic policy decisions and cooperation resulting from state visits by China�s leaders. The study then explores how the extent of SOEs� FDI not only reflects the influence of China�s rise, but also the provision and economic collaboration of free trade arrangements and bank loans as economic incentives to assist Latin America�s, especially countries with natural resources, economic development in the process of regional integration.

ISO/IEC 17025, general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, requires the control, monitoring, and recording of laboratory environmental conditions. For a ventilated environment with a simple air conditioner, it is necessary to take measurements from various points to show that a homogeneous temperature and humidity distribution exists. In this study, an IoT-based monitoring system designed and applied for tracking temperature and humidity in the laboratory ventilated with a simple air conditioner is presented in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards. The system consists of three layers including the slave nodes which sleep under normal conditions but send the temperature and humidity values to the receiver module when they are awakened, and the master module which collects data from the sensor nodes and saves them to SD memory, display current data on a LCD screen and sends average values to the cloud environment, and the IoT-cloud storage platform.

From hand-drawn maps, compass to technology-based navigation systems, people have always relied on some kind of tool to help them reach their destination. At present, there are a lot of people equipped with a smartphone which has become a part of the daily life. These smartphones have applications such as Google maps which makes use of the GPS technology to facilitate navigation in the outdoor environment. It provides a great deal of accuracy to reach our destination but the same cannot be said for indoor navigation. Indoor navigation systems are still under research and development. The present indoor navigation systems use the existing technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID and Computer Vision for navigating through the indoor environment. In this paper, we point out some of the issues of the existing technologies for indoor navigation and propose a method for indoor navigation using the Augmented Reality technology and ARCore.

Marriage is highly respected and somehow sacred in eastern societies including Iran. This qualitative research aimed to explore lived experience of remarried men and women who had experienced divorce on their relationships towards their significant others. Seventeen interviews were conducted with persons remarried after divorce and their second marriage lasted over 2 years. Based on a content analysis method and under the theme of inter-relationships, four categories were found, including “different spouses, different relations”, “reconfiguration of relationships with families”, “impacts on child-rearing”, and “importance of unimportant acquaintances”. \nThis study showed that remarriage after divorce has positive and negative consequences. It also revealed complexity of relationship network when another marriage happens after the first one collapsed. The other finding was that relations after divorce may not disappear completely and relics of the first ruined shared life may strongly affect the new partnership. Influence of context-oriented issues, particularly in the societies where religion and tradition are strong was the other result. \nProfessionals, policy makers and researchers may apply the findings of the research by taking a strengths perspective.
