Published: September 2021

The right to work has been recognized as a fundamental human right in almost all international human rights documents and in the constitutions of many countries. This right has been recognized and guaranteed as a fundamental human right also in the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey. However, not only recognizing and guaranteeing "work" as a fundamental human right but also regulating its implementation and functioning within the framework of laws is of great importance. The concept of overwork is a concept that has been mentioned in the Labor Law regarding the implementation and functioning of the concept of work and it is regulated in our Labor Law No. 4857. In order to talk about overwork, a limited working time is required. In this context, upon determining the maximum number of hours a worker can work per week by drawing a limit on working hours in Labor Law No. 4857, overwork, which is the subject of work exceeding this period, is defined. Furthermore, the types of overwork that arise depending on the reasons for overworking, as well as the jobs that cannot be overworked, are regulated in the same Law.

Epic Films, which is an important genre in cinema, have always won the appreciation of the audience and have been most popular in the 1950s and 60s with their samples that depict the “Antique Age”. The samples of this genre, that educate while entertain are still being made today. After the 2000 movie "Gladiator", many Epics have being produced. One of the best Epic Films, director Ridley Scott's 2000 film "Gladiator" is successful not only in terms of cinematic point of view but also in terms of its reflecting archaeological facts correctly. The film successfully transferred history to the pellicule in terms of venues, art design, accessories and the story line. In "Gladiator", director Ridley Scott gathered all the elements of Gladiator Films, -a subgenre of Peplas made in Italy in the 1960s- and reflected them in one film only. “Gladiator”, combines the themes of Peplas, such as Rome, gladiators, arenas, slaves and cruel rulers in a single work. The starting point of the movie is the competitions held in the Arena in the Ancient Age. Arenas are a platform not only individuals show themselves, but also the rulers to prove their power. In our study, starting from the formation of Amphitheaters, we examine the Arena Phenomenon, Gladiator Films and the place of "Gladiator" in between the similar works, respectively.

Authors: SAİFUNOV Bauyrzhan
Published: September 2021

İn the second half of the XVIII century, some ritual and religious issues shifted from a dogmatic platform to a political one and were revived during the persecution of some Yesevi sheikhs, including our author. Sheikh Hudaydad was forcibly transferred out of Bukhara. The political, economic and social activities of the Naqshbandi-Mujaddidiyye Brotherhood at that time were also criticized by Sheikh Hudaydad. According to Sheikh Hudaydad, the dogmatic conflicts he paid attention to were not limited to Sufism. The discussion also revolved around the fardh and Sufi rituals, which the author often disclosed as counter-arguments against his opponents. Bustan-ul-Muhibbin is the work of Sheikh Hudaydad, the representative of the Yesevi path. The work covers the ethical, ritual and theoretical foundations of Yesevi teaching. Bustan-ul-Muhibbin is a work that deals with Zikr Jahri, the main form of dhikr of Allah in the Yesevi culture, on a theological basis and glorifies it as the "essence of Islam". In this work, Sheikh Hudaydad tries to revive the moral, ritual and theoretical foundations of Yesevi teaching. This article discusses some of the debates about the legitimacy of Sufi rites.

Public procurement in the healthcare sectors of Russia and EEUU
Authors: Shmeleva Marina V.
Published: September 2021

The aim of the study is to analyze public procurement issues in the field of healthcare. Dialectical, logical, and comparative methods have been used. The author has studied the best practices of such procurement and conducted a comparative legal analysis of Russian and the US public procurement systems. The following results have been achieved: it has been found that public procurement in the healthcare sector is considered more complex than that in other sectors of the economy since there are more barriers and travails. This is because through healthcare public procurement the state purchases medical equipment and medications for state and municipal healthcare facilities. The author concludes that one of the main problems in the regulation of healthcare public procurement is that budget holders’ supply agreements for medical equipment, medications, and medical products are often competition-free. Covering the efficiency of public procurement in Russia, the author highlights the main violations typical of the system at all levels (from regional authorities to municipal institutions). There are also some practical recommendations to improve Russian public procurement legislation.

Heterogeneity of signs and classification criteria for compound words
Authors: Suleibanova Marzhan U. , Dudarova Lyudmila M. , Bidanok Marziyat M.
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the fact of the development of compositology in languages of different grammatical structures and in the Iberian-Caucasian in particular. We used classification, descriptive methods, linguistic analysis techniques, which are widely used by all researchers who work with the material of specific languages or linguistic groups. The method of typological comparison used in this study should be especially highlighted, which confirms the sufficient efficiency when comparing languages of different genetic and structural affiliation. The main and easily established difference when comparing the word-formation systems of the Chechen and Russian, for example, languages, is that in the Chechen language, of the two main ways of forming words (word production and base formation), the second clearly predominates. The reliance of the Chechen word-formation on the basis is not a new phenomenon and not a specificity of the Chechen language. It is known that in many languages, word-formation affixes historically go back to the components of additions. Consequently, compounding precedes affixation. Composites in Nakh languages ​​go back to syntactic combinations of words and the most acceptable for the Chechen language is the classification according to the method of their formation.

Authors: ÇELEN Ali İhsan
Published: September 2021

Bolivarcı Venezuela Cumhuriyeti (Venezuela) özellikle son on yıl içerisinde giderek derinleşen ekonomik, siyasi ve sosyal krizlere sahne olmuştur. Bunun bir sonucu olarak ülkeden ayrılmaların son dönemlerde katlanarak artması tüm dikkatleri üzerine çekmiştir.

Amaç: Buna göre çalışmanın amacını; ülkeden ayrılmaların uluslararası mülteci kriterlerini sağlayıp sağlamadığını ortaya koymak, yaşanan göçün kantitatif ve kalitatif boyutunu temel bileşenleri ile birlikte irdelemek oluşturmaktadır.

Yöntem: Yapılan çalışma, nitel ve nicel veri analizlerine dayanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Bölgesel Mülteci ve Göçmen Müdahale Planı (RMRP) dikkate alınarak göçmen krizine yol açan temel sorun alanları belirlenmiştir. UNHCR ve IOM başta olmak üzere küresel gıda, sağlık, güvenlik ve insan hakları kurum ve kuruluşlarının konu ile ilgili veri ve raporları incelenmiş, ilgili literatür taranmış ve yaşanan göçmen krizi; artan gıda güvensizliği, çökmekte olan sağlık sistemi, artan suç oranları ve yaygınlaşan vatandaş güvencesizliği, siyasi ve medeni hakların ihlali bileşenleri çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır.

Bulgular: Sonuç olarak ülkeden ayrılmalar özellikle ikinci dalganın ortalarından itibaren (2016-2017) yaşanan göç dalgaları; 1951 Mülteci Sözleşmesi, 1967 Protokolü ve 1984 Cartagena Deklarasyonu mülteci kriterlerine uygun bir özellik taşımakta ve süreç özellikle Batı Yarım Küre için yeni ve çaplı bir mülteci krizine dönüşmektedir.

Özgünlük: Bu çalışma ile Venezuela’da yaşanan ülkeden ayrılmaların bölgesel bir mülteci krizine dönüştüğü ortaya konulmuştur. Bu durum öncelikle bölge ülkeleri için ekonomik ve sosyal açıdan önemli bir tehdit unsuru haline dönüşmüştür. Buna göre UNHCR ve IOM’un görüşü çerçevesinde tartışmasız mülteci statüsünün tüm küresel otoritelerce kabul edilmesi ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması gerekmektedir

La flexibilidad a niveles adecuados es importante para un correcto desempeño de las actividades cotidianas. Sin embargo, esta cualidad puede verse influenciada negativamente por distintos factores, como el estilo de vida, el envejecimiento y el género. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el nivel de flexibilidad entre personas mayores institucionalizadas y físicamente inactivas con personas mayores físicamente activas, comparando, además, de qué forma el fenotipo sexual puede influir sobre la misma. La muestra estuvo compuesta por personas mayores de 65 años, siendo un grupo físicamente activo (GA) de 54 participantes y un grupo de mayores institucionalizados e inactivos (GI) con 19 participantes; a los que se les evaluó la flexibilidad con dos test de la Batería Senior Fitness Test. Los resultados mostraron una diferencia significativa de la flexibilidad de tren superior e inferior a favor del grupo GA (p < .001) con la influencia del fenotipo sexual variando en función de la zona evaluada. Concluimos que es fundamental añadir en el día a día de las personas mayores la práctica de ejercicio físico, así como incentivar a que mantengan un estilo de vida activo y saludable, independientemente del entorno geográfico donde habiten y de su género. 
Abstract: The range of motion is important to perform properly in activities of daily living. However, this physical component can be negatively influenced by different aspects, such as lifestyle, aging and gender. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the level of range of motion among institutionalized and physically inactive older adults with physically active, in addition to know how gender can influence it. We compared groups of people older than 65 years, one group was physically active (GA) (n = 54) and the other group was institutionalized and physically inactive older people (GI) (n = 19); and we measured flexibility using the tests from the Senior Fitness Test battery. Our results showed a difference in the flexibility of the upper and lower body for the GA group (p < .001) compared with GI, showing also a gender difference depending on the measured area. We can conclude that it is crucial to include programs of physical exercise to the daily routine of the elderly, as well as to encourage maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle independent of the gender and the geographical environment where they live.

The application of natural plant-derived dyes to replace ruthenium-based material as photo-absorber in solar cells application, have been extensively studied. Several advantages such as low cost, abundant in supply, sustainability and environmentally-safe make natural materials as current favourite photo-absorber. Natural plant-derived dyes are known containing natural compounds (e.g. carotenoids, chlorophylls, anthocyanins) that have the characteristics of electronic delocalization in extended ?-orbital system involving in electronic transfer mechanism. To date, massive investigations were done to exploit this system to be used as a potential photo-absorber in solar cells. Due to this matter, the hybrid dyes from the mixture of Pandanus amaryllifolius (pandan, P) and Curcuma longa (turmeric, T) were successfully prepared and several physical characterizations were carried out to analyse the photo-absorber (sensitizer) properties. From the results obtained, the ratios of P:T was varied into 1:2, 1:4, 4:1, and 8:1. This ratio has changed the wavelength of absorbers that were slightly shifted and the indirect bandgap (Eg) also were significantly changed. With this new approach, the bandgap of the hybrid dyes as core point in modulating electrical conductivity of photo-absorber can be simply tuned. By implying two different extract dyes to form hybrid dyes, the bandgap was found decreased with higher ratio of T used. Overall results suggesting that by adjusting the ratio of hybrid dyes, the photo-absorber properties and the Eg values were differed and with slightly modification, better electrical conductivity can be expected for solar cells application.
Monetary Policy Rules vs Discretion: Social Cost and Benefits

Abstract

In this article it is discussed the new monetary policy, the new instruments (monetary policy tools) that the Fed introduced after 2008 and 2020, the different monetary policy rules, and the social cost and benefits of this policy is measured. The first major Fed’s changes were on 12/20/2008 by altering the fed funds market in a number of different ways: (1) Zero fed funds rate. (2) The Fed started paying interest on reserves held by the bank or on behalf of depository institutions at Reserve Banks, subject to regulations of the Board of Governors, effective October 1, 2011 and interest on the overnight reverse repurchase agreement in 2014. (3) The close to zero deposit rates. (4) The Fed abolished the required reserves by making them since March 26, 2020 zero. The social cost is very high with these “innovated” policies. This zero federal funds target rate monetary policy is against depositors (bail in cost) and taxpayers (bail out cost); it is an unfair public policy and an anti-social monetary policy; and at the same time it is a risky one because it has created enormous bubbles in the stock market and a creeping high inflation. The different monetary policy rules reveal the unjustifiable low policy target rates. The latest monetary policy combined with the loss of self-sufficiency, the outsourcing, the unfair international trade, the recent peculiar coronavirus pandemic, and the current divisions inside the country are generating many challenges and risks for the future, which will cause the social cost to exceed the social benefits.

Legal consequences of refusal of public procurement authority to conclude the contract with the winner of the competitive procurement procedure
Authors: Dombaev S. S.
Published: September 2021

This article proposes to consider the debatable question regarding the legal consequences associated with the refusal of public procurement authority to conclude an agreement with the winner of the competitive procurement procedure conducted in accordance with the Federal Law dated 18.07.2011 No. 223 — FZ “On the procurement of goods, work, services by certain types of legal entities” (hereinafter — “Law No. 223”, the Law on Corporate Procurement). The article doubts the attempts to justify from the current legislation standpoint the existence of the obligation of the public procurement authority to conclude an agreement with the winner of the competitive procurement procedure provided with the possibility of judicial enforcement. In the absence of such an obligation, the author suggests to review the legal measures available to the winner of the competitive procurement procedure in order to protect its interests. At the same time, the article states that such measures are insufficient to the best interests of the winner of the competitive procurement procedure and does not comply with the public nature of relations in the field of corporate procurement. It is proposed to amend the Law on Corporate Procurement to eliminate these inconsistencies.

It is theoretically predicted that when a solution of a low-molecular salt flows through a polyelectrolyte grid, electromotive forces can occur, the sign of which depends on the sign of the grid charge. This phenomenon can be used in the development of new desalination systems, but its further study requires the development of specific measuring instruments and experimental research methods. Such techniques can be created due to the fact that systems based on hydrogels of the type in question have equivalent radio engineering circuits, which include reactive components (capacitors). The presence of capacitors in the equivalent circuit is associated with the formation of double electrical layers at the boundary of the hydrogel and the solution. For grids with a high charge density, the amplitude of such layers can be determined directly based on the analysis of the balance of ion currents in the system. The capacitance of the capacitors included in the equivalent circuit can be measured by recording the phase shift between current and voltage as a function of frequency. This, in turn, allows us to develop a methodology for experimental research of systems of the type under consideration using probing alternating currents of small amplitude (the method of radio-technical sounding).

The image retrieval system is one of the most prevalent and challenging systems of deep learning. To perform image retrieval for lung disease radiography systems, three methods were used: Firstly, we built a convolution neural network from scratch to extract and classify features by using six convolution layers and two fully connected layers. Secondly, it trained the feature patterns and classified categories by transfer learning techniques (Resnet_50). Thirdly, by training feature patterns by (inception V3) and classifying them by Support Vector Machine (SVM). After the system retrieval set of images depending on the class labels, these methods were compared to find the most accurate and fastest method among them. The concluded from the results of our proposed system that the accuracy of CNN from scratch was better than the learning methods (96.2%), but Resnet-50 was faster than the other methods and had good accuracy (94.81%).
