Lecturers’ Understanding on Indexing Databases of SINTA, DOAJ, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, and Web of Science: A Study of Indonesians
Authors: Sugiarto Irwan
Published: December 2018

The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of Indonesia has introduced several national and international indexers of scientific works. This policy becomes a guideline for lecturers and researchers in choosing the reputable publications. This study aimed to describe the understanding level of Indonesian lecturers related to indexing databases, i.e. SINTA, DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. This research used descriptive design and survey method. The populations in this study were Indonesian lecturers and researchers. The primary data were obtained from a questionnaire filled by 316 lecturers and researchers from 33 Provinces in Indonesia recruited with convenience sampling technique on October-November 2017. The data analysis was performed using frequency distribution tables, cross tabulation and descriptive analysis. The results of this study showed that the understanding of Indonesian lecturers and researchers regarding publications in indexing databases SINTA, DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar is that, on average, 66,5% have known about SINTA, DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. However, based on empirical frequency 76% of them have never published with journals or proceedings indexed in Scopus.

This article aims to discover, interpret, and identify the educational values embodied in the song of JasoMandeh creation by Nuskan Syarif. The identification process is done by a multidisciplinary hermeneuticanalysis. Interpretation is generated by associating the aspects of language, music/songs, psychological,socio-cultural, and educational, so it can be identified five (5) educational values, namely Syarak/agamo,love the realm of Minang, patiance, sincerity, and courage. The educational values is a means to educatelearners to perform the actions and behaviors that reflect proper Minang people. Education and learningas a means of cultural inheritance are obliged to explore, socialize, actualize, and cultivate the educationalvalues on an ongoing basis in order to create learners who are well-mannered, civilized and noblecharacter.
Stabilizing Speech Production through Gesture-Speech Coordination
Authors: Pouw Wim , de Jonge-Hoekstra Lisette , Dixon James A.
Published: December 2018

Hand-gestures are seamlessly coordinated with speech. Yet, there is only anecdotal support for gestures’ functional role in speech production. Here we explore temporal aspects of speech production when people use hand gesture. We performed exploratory analyses with a naturalistic German-speaking sample from The Bielefeld Speech and Gesture Alignment Corpus (SaGA), which consisted of 67 minutes of narration data and over 500 gesture events (N = 6). We found that the rhythmic timing of speech (defined as the mean and standard deviations of speech onset intervals) is highly correlated with the likelihood of gesturing. Furthermore, we utilized deep learning methods to track gesture motion, and extracted the amplitude envelope of speech, so as to gauge the degree of (continuous) gesture-speech synchrony. We then performed a continuous time-series analysis (recurrence quantification analysis; RQA) to index how temporal properties of speech change when gesture and speech are more or less synchronized. Our analyses revealed that when gesture and speech were more synchronized, the temporal structure of speech was more ordered and less complex, as indexed by classic measures of dynamic temporal stability (e.g., Entropy, Ratio of %Determinism/Recurrence). We suggest that a fundamental gesture-speech relation is rooted in entrainment, which yields stability in the temporal structure of speech.
A comparison of the manifestation of psychopathic traits between women with and without Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Authors: Fido Dean , Williams Sophie
Published: December 2018

One popular school of thought posits that the development of both psychopathicpersonality and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may be underpinned, at least in part, byin utero elevations of testosterone. Although there is a large body of literature delineatingthe relationship between increased testosterone and the presence of psychopathic traits,psychopathic traits in women with PCOS has not been previously explored. In the currentstudy, we compared self-reported psychopathic traits between 82 women with PCOS and 85women without PCOS. Results showed that women with and without PCOS did not differ onmeasures of interpersonal manipulation, callous affect, erratic lifestyle, or anti-socialbehaviour. Our findings offer opposing evidence to the proposed relationship betweentestosterone and psychopathy, and are interpreted in the context of measurementlimitations in PCOS as well as the absence of accurate indices of hormone levels. Results ofthis study will likely inform research into psychopathy in the general population and conveymeaningful knowledge and impact for patients living with, and practitioners working withPCOS.

In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) in vitro tumor models have become more common in cancer research across the world. Selecting scaffolds, seeding cells into the scaffolds, and culturing them are pivotal for the morphologies and proliferation of cancer cell lines. Therefore, this experience has developed a 3D tumor model based on co-culturing MCF-7 cells and fibroblasts (3:1) into gelatin-alginate scaffolds (3x3x5 mm3). Quantity, proliferation, and morphologies of tumors were evaluated through cell yield on a scaffold, enzymatic assay, cell number, hematoxylin and eosin stains (H&E), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the complex of MCF-7 cell lines and fibroblasts in scaffolds proliferated and increased in terms of cell mass number and cell mass size. Their morphologies align with those of the in vivo figures demonstrated previously. This research facilitates new opportunities for the study of cancer biology and drug screening in Vietnam.

Brachyuran crabs are the most diverse group of crustaceans. They are found in most marine habitats such as coral reefs, sandy beaches, rocky beaches, mangroves, and seagrass meadows. In this study, we investigated the species composition of brachyuran crabs at 10 sampling locations belonging to three habitats (mangrove forest, artificial dykes, sandy beaches) at Duyen Hai town on August (rainy season) and December (dry season) in 2017. We found that there were 22 species belonging to 10 genera of six families present in the research area. The Ocypodidae family is the most abundant, with 45.5% of the species, following by the Grapsidae (22.7%), Sesarmidae (13.6%), Portunidae (9.1%), Matutidae (4.5%), and Xanthidae (4.5%). The densities of brachyuran crabs ranged from 2.0±1.1 (inds/m2) to 17.2±4.3 (inds/m2). The mangrove forest habitat showed a greater diversity of species than the sandy beach and artificial dyke habitat. The rainy season supported greater diversity than the dry season.

Studies of the composition and density of phytoplankton and the water quality of Nhu Y river were conducted over six months (March to August 2011). Phytoplankton samples were collected by filtration and immediately preserved in Lugol’s solution. The phytoplankton species composition recorded 117 species belonging to six divisions: Cyanobacteria (24 taxa), Bacillariophyta (14 taxa), Chlorophyta (45 taxa), Euglenophyta (31 taxa), Cryptophyta (2 taxa), and Dinophyta (1 taxa), of which Chlorophyta and Euglenophyta were dominant in terms of species numbers. The total phytoplankton density fluctuated from 110,146 to 5,964x103individuals/litre and Cyanophyta were dominant in terms of individual density. The algal genus pollution index (Palmer index) ranged from 30 to 41, indicating that the water was highly organically polluted, and the Shannon-Weiner index results of 0.66-2.92 showed moderately to heavily polluted water. With values for the Diatomeae index of more than 0.2, the quality of the eight sites during the period of the study showed that the aquatic environment was eutrophic. Phytoplankton and their indexes are useful tools for assessing water environment quality.

The teleost fish medaka (Oryzias latipes) is currently used by laboratories worldwide as a model for many human diseases, including bone diseases. Our research group focuses on a medaka model for osteoporosis. To characterize the bone indexes of diseased animals, the bone development indexes of healthy wild-type fish are required for comparative analysis. Thus, this study examined the developmental and bone development indexes of wild-type medaka larvae at 11 and 16 days of age, the two developmental stages selected for the analysis of diseased patterns in osteoporosis-induced animals. The assessed parameters included the total body length of live larvae, number of caudal fin rays, vertebrae, and neural and hemal arches, as well as the total areas of mineralized vertebrae and lengths of mineralized arches. The obtained data are important for subsequent studies on bones using this fish model.

Human urine is known as the excreta with a high concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus, causing eutrophicationin water bodies. In this study, human urine was used to feed microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) in a membrane photobioreactor (MPBR) at various microalgae retention times (MRTs) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 2 days to evaluate its biomass production. The results indicate that MPBR was operated under MRT of 2 to 5 days and HRT of 2 days, which performed the optimum condition with biomass productivity from 146.43±8.52 to 151.93±15.05 mg.l-1.day. Moreover, the MPBR using the urine as a nutrient source demonstrated the high performance in biomass production and strong growth of microalgae.

This research utilizes the disaster risk concept developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to determine and assess the storm surge risk in aquaculture in the coastal area from Quang Ninh to Ninh Binh province. The results indicated that the highest level of risk occurred in Thai Thuy district (Thai Binh province) and Quang Yen town (Quang Ninh province). The second highest level or risks occurred in Tien Hai district (Thai Binh province), Mong Cai city and Hai Ha district (Quang Ninh province). The lowest level of risk transpires in Uong Bi city (Quang Ninh province) and Kien An district (Hai Phong city). The results provide a scientific basis to support local government in establishing proactive response plans to storm surges, reduce and prevent storm surge damage to aquaculture, assist policy making and establish suitable development priorities for the coastal areas in the Northern region.
Zaštita dostojanstva i zdravlja radnika - zaštita od maltretiranja na radu i u vezi s radom
Authors: Šokčević Svjetlana
Published: December 2018

SAŽETAK: Izvješća državnih institucija i sudska praksa u Hrvatskoj dokazuju da radni uvjeti odstupaju od normativnog sadržaja temeljnog prava radnika Europske unije (EU), a time i radnika u Hrvatskoj, na poštene i pravične radne uvjete u kojima se čuvaju zdravlje, sigurnost i dostojanstvo radnika. To pravo utvrđeno je Poveljom o temeljnim pravima EU-a. Povremeno se u Hrvatskoj predlaže donošenje posebnog zakona o mobbingu koji prijedlog više nije relevantan jer je zaštita radnika od maltretiranja na radu osigurana Zakonom o zaštiti na radu i Pravilnikom o izradi procjene rizika. Normativni sadržaj prava, obveza i odgovornosti subjekata radnog odnosa u vezi s rizikom od maltretiranja na radu i u vezi s radom proizlazi iz pravnih pravila zakona i podzakonskih propisa. Ti propisi doneseni su zbog provedbe pravne stečevine EU-a, pa ih treba tumačiti u skladu s obveznim tumačenjima institucija EU-a, osobito praksom Suda EU-a. Uvažavati treba i obveze Hrvatske iz međunarodnih ugovora Ujedinjenih naroda i Vijeća Europe te praksu njihovih stalnih tijela koja prate primjenu tih ugovora u državama članicama koje obvezuju. Tumačenje mora biti široko, jer dostojanstvo, zdravlje i sigurnost radnika treba štititi ne samo od diskriminatornih ponašanja na radu i u vezi s radom, već od svih loših neželjenih ponašanja koja mogu štetiti navedenim pravima osobnosti.
Oružani prepad - nova opasnost na radnom mjestu
Authors: Miočić Vesna
Published: December 2018

SAŽETAK: Akutni životno ugrožavajući stresni događaj na radnom mjestu predstavlja ozljedu na radu, te se u godišnjem izvješću o ozljedama na radu i profesionalnim bolestima prijavljuje mjerodavnim inspekcijskim službama. Cilj rada je analizirati strukturu prijavljenih ozljeda na radu od poslodavca za radno mjesto priređivač igara na sreću (PINS) u razdoblju od 2009. do 2013. godine s osvrtom na učestalost i posljedice oružanog prepada na prodajnim mjestima PINS-a. Na temelju dostupnih godišnjih izvješća o ozljedama na radu i profesionalnim bolestima u razdoblju od 2009. do 2013. godine statistički su obrađeni i analizirani podaci za radno mjesto PINS. Protupravno djelovanje treće osobe (oružani prepad) glavni je uzrok svih ozljeda na samom radnom mjestu (od 82 do 92 %). Uspoređujući spolnu distribuciju ozljeda na radu u PINS-u, do 79 % čine žene. U 73 % svih zabilježenih slučajeva ozljeda na radu radilo se o psihičkoj traumi kao posljedici protupravnog djelovanja treće osobe. Uvid u literaturne podatke pokazuje kako osobe nakon oružanog prepada doživljavaju akutni stresni poremećaj unutar prvog tjedna, te započinju izvanbolnički psihijatrijski tretman koji često prerano prekidaju. U 27 % slučajeva razvije se djelomični posttraumatski stresni poremećaj (PTSP) koji zbog prekida liječenja postaje trajan, a u 5 % dolazi do trajnog gubitka radne sposobnosti. Poslodavac je prepoznao opasnost od trajnih posljedica psihičke traume na radnu sposobnost, te je ujedno i organizirao preventivne strategije. Međutim, još postoje mjere kojima se preventivna strategija može upotpuniti u smislu poboljšanja tehničkih uvjeta rada, praćenje i skrb žrtava oružanih prepada od stručnih zdravstvenih radnika i psihologa da bi se spriječila progresija akutnog stresnog događaja u kroničnu psihičku bolest.

SAŽETAK: Cilj rada je izmjeriti stres na radnom mjestu u javnim službama grada Šibenika i utvrditi razlike između pojedinih vrsta javnih službi u svrhu planiranja intervencija protiv stresa u pojedinim radnim organizacijama. Ispitano je 90 zaposlenika, 27 članova profesionalne vatrogasne postrojbe, 28 zaposlenika ustanove za skrb i njegu o starijim i nemoćnim osobama te 35 zaposlenika vodovoda i odvodnje. Utvrđivanje psihološkog stresa i radne sposobnosti utvrđeno je pomoću upitnika o stresu na radu – HSE (health and safety executive) i upitnika o indeksu radne sposobnosti – WAI (work ability index). Rezultati pokazuju da zaposlenici staračkog doma doživljavaju svoje radno mjesto kao stresno zbog same prirode posla (težak fizički rad, psihički stres zbog uzemiravanja štićenika, nedostupnost nadređenih, nedovoljna podrška nadređenih i kolega). Profesionalni vatrogasci, suprotno očekivanjima, rijetko svoj posao doživljavaju kao stresan kao i zaposlenici vodovoda. Zaključno se može reći da je moguće utjecati na stres, umanjiti ga ili eliminirati i time smanjiti njegov utjecaj na zdravlje i radnu produktivnost djelujući na sam izvor stresa, na pojedinca ili organizaciju.
Estimates of safety distances for hydrogen sulfide leak emission from gas refinery
Authors: Ebrahimzadih Mehrzad
Published: December 2018

SAŽETAK: Rafinerijski procesi moraju biti organizirani i održavani tako da jamče sigurnost radnika, susjeda i okoliša. Rafinerije su izvor mnogih nesreća i incidenata budući da su opasne tvari, proizvodi i proizvodni procesi smješteni vrlo blizu. Cilj studije je proučiti posljedice raznih scenarija istjecanja vodikova sulfida u plinskim rafinerijama i utvrditi granice zone opasnosti i rizike svakog scenarija. Priroda studije bila je opisno-analitična, a istraživanje je provedeno u plinskim rafinerijama. Za utvrđivanje načina širenja plina i utjecaja njegova istjecanja primijenjen je PHAST software. Razrađeno je više scenarija, a također su utvrđivani i utjecaji različitih vremenskih uvjeta na te scenarije i to na dvije razine, LC (lethal concentration = smrtonosna koncentracija) i IDLH (immediately dangerous to life or health = neposredna opasnost za život ili zdravlje). Rezultati ukazuju da je zona smrtne opasnosti LC50 pri širenju vodikova sulfida i zona opasnosti širenja otrova 224 odnosno 386 m. Također je utvrđeno da je ENI-jevo boravište za radnike smješteno u zoni utjecaja dominantne struje i to na udaljenosti od samo 200 m od rafinerije. U slučaju istjecanja mogu se očekivati znatni gubici života i štete za zdravlje. Stoga je nužno preseliti boravište radnika na drugu lokaciju i poduzeti mjere tehničke kontrole.
Nadzor nad mikrobiološkim statusom zraka u zdravstvenoj ustanovi u prostorima za sterilizaciju

Published: December 2018

SUMMARY: Microorganisms in the air are part of the bioaerosol which is composed of different particles of biological substances, dust particles, bacteria cells and their portions, mould spores and a number of by-products of their metabolism. This research focuses on analysing the primary microclimate indicators (temperature and relative humidity) and the presence of microorganisms in the work environment (air). Measurements were taken after the process of sterilisation of infective waste over three months with the objective to determine the total number of aerobic mesophilic bacteria and the total number of moulds. The microclimate indicators were measured with an attested device. The study monitored the microbiological purity of the air in a given place using the sedimentation method, with samples subsequently processed in a microbiology lab in keeping with the prescribed standards. After incubation and following the counting of developed colonies on microbiological substrates (Tryptic soy agar and Sabouraud dextrose agar), different strains of bacteria and moulds were identified. The most common were Gram (+) sporogenes bacteria Micrococcus spp and Staphylococcus spp., and as for fungi the most commonly found were Aspergillus spp and Penicillium spp. It was found that temperature and relative humidity affect the total number of aerobic mesophilic bacteria and fungi which was confirmed using the Wilcoxon equivalent pairs test at the level of statistic significance p<0.05.
Zapažanja zaposlenika - uvjet unapređivanja kulture zaštite na radu
Authors: Mika Frano , Dunger David
Published: December 2018

SUMMARY: In preventing injury at work, the law provides for the application of recognized professional rules and in practice proven ways of eliminating or reducing workplace risks.
Safety Hazard Observation Cards (SHOC) have proven to be a useful tool to increase employees’ awareness and attention to unsafe actions and unsafe conditions. However, in Croatian practice, it is difficult to persuade employees to write down their observations and sign them.
Over the years, in the Saipem SpA Croatian Branch, we encountered employees’ reluctance towards filling the SHOC-cards. To motivate employees, we have organized events in which we set up hazards that employees should locate in the allotted time, and write and describe them on the forms, i.e. cards provided for the purpose. The employee who first identified all "set up hazards" was awarded a prize.
During these events, the number of SHOC-cards written not only exceeded their annual "production" but also helped to recognize and eliminate many other hazards, and the employees were pleased to participate.
The event is organized several times a year to enhance awareness of the importance of filling SHOCs and strengthening efforts to change the safety culture.

The “Laurer” and the “Columbyn”: The Images of Frustrated Love in Chaucer's Merchant's Tale
Authors: Semaan Ingrid
Published: December 2018

«Rys up, my wyf, my love, my lady free» (1.2138) -however it has been the literary scholars who have followed old January with much greater alacrity than his «fresshe May» into the literary and rhetorical world of the wedding chamber and the garden that Chaucer lets the Merchant create for the married couple. The scholars, in turn, especially those interested in sources, metaphor, analogy, and allusion have been richly rewarded by the study of The Merchant's Tale, this «dense mosaic of references, allusions, quotations», as G. G. Sedgewick has described it. Unifying the richly structured composition of this «mosaic» is the theme of frustrated love, a concern to which many of these «ref- erences, allusions, quotations» point. One of the earlier critical concerns was to track down the analogues. It proved to be a fertile field; by now it has become a critical commonplace that one of the central motifs of Chaucer's tale—the blind man and the adulterous youth the pear-tree-cluster—is of Mid Eastern origin and can be found among the tales of the Disciplina Clericalis. This anthology of Eastern folklore—com- prising East Indian, Byzantine, Persian, Arabian, and Hebrew materials—was compiled in Latin back in the twelfth century by Petrus Alfunsus. Alfunsus, originally a Jewish scholar born in Spain, converted to Christianity, and eventu- ally emigrated to England where he became royal physician to King Henry I. He wrote the Disciplina while he resided in England. Alfonsi's collection of thirty- four tales is important as a bridge by which what is commonly called the literaty «matter of Araby» in both form and content became a tradition that supplied vernacular medieaval Europen writers.
A Life Lived Otherwise: Contingency and Necessity in an Interconnected World
Authors: Irving Andrew
Published: December 2018

This article focuses on how people experience and understand their life and history in relation to the many other possible lives they could have ended up living. It argues that the alternative, imagined or virtual life courses that someone might have lived are an important moral framework for understanding and interpreting one’s social and material situation. Drawing on long-term fieldwork with a Ugandan family, the article considers how unfolding events continuously recast people’s existential life circumstances and their imagined alternatives. Using film and collaborative methods, it aims to offer an ethnographically grounded account of how people’s thoughts, dreams and imaginaries of a life lived otherwise are not immaterial fantasies or abstractions but are directly constitutive of people’s embodied experiences and responses to contingency in an interconnected world.
A Foreign Familiarity
Authors: Trieneke Gastmeier
Published: December 2018

Growing up in Canada of Jamaican Canadian heritage, my racial identity was always called into question. Given that most of my Jamaican family remained in the Caribbean, I felt disconnected from that side of my heritage and in many ways imagined myself as disenfranchised from my own Jamaican identity. This isolation was reinforced by my ability to “pass” and by the constant critique of my “visible identity” by outsiders. While spending three months in Jamaica as a second-generation individual returning to the Caribbean, I was able to reflect on and investigate my family history, learn about my alternative reality, and come to encounter my Jamaican self and broader plurality of identities.
The Materiality of Energy

Published: December 2018

This article draws on case studies from the energy transitions to coal, oil, and electricity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in America to highlight the importance of attending to the material dimensions of energy systems. The essay argues that a focus on materiality illuminates both the political stakes of energy infrastructure and helps explain the dynamics of energy transitions.
The Historical Transition from Coal to Hydrocarbons: Previous Explanations and the Need for an Integrative Perspective
Authors: Melsted Odinn , Pallua Irene
Published: December 2018

The article deals with the historical transition from coal to oil and natural gas, commonly referred to as hydrocarbons. This transition occurred throughout the industrialized world between the 1940s and 1970s, yet the causes for the shift from coal to hydrocarbons are only marginally understood. Drawing from recent research on historical energy transitions, we examine the takeover of hydrocarbons in the context of the incumbent coal configurations. Building on previous explanations, we identify two analytical perspectives: (1) the view on the overall energy supply system that diversified when hydrocarbons were introduced, and (2) that on the consumers of energy, who replaced coal with hydrocarbon alternatives. The central argument is that the two perspectives need to be integrated to fully understand why hydrocarbons could replace coal. This monumental change in energy history was no simple shift in fuels, but a complex transition that occurred at (1) the level of energy supply, where hydrocarbons became available as alternatives to coal, and (2) the level of energy consumption, where consumers in the areas of railway and maritime transportation, residential heating, industrial production, and electricity generation actively decided to use hydrocarbon alternatives as substitutions for coal.

EFFICIENCY OF THE USE OF WATER BY THE LEAVES OF SOY PLANTS: TRADITIONS AND NEW CRITERIA
Authors: Harchuk O.A. , Kirillov A.F. , Budak A.B.
Published: December 2018

The aim of the study was to assess the traditional and new criteria for evaluating water use efficiency (WUE) of soybean leaves by comparing different parameters from instantaneous measurements (WUEi) with the WUE at the field level, as well as studying WUEi-parametres in daily dynamics. Studies were performed using photosyn-thesis and transpiration rate monitor PTM-48A to soybean plants (variety Amelina) in pots with sufficient water supply. It was concluded that as close as possible to WUE field value (0,80 g seeds per kg H2O) is the evaluation of the WUEias a ratio of respiration per unit of water transpired. Estimation of leaf WUEiaccording to previously known parameters does not correspond to field level WUE

The mineralogical and geochemical features and the material composition of the ore metaso-matites of the Verkhneyanskoye gold ore field (VGOF) have been studied. VGOF is located in the northern part of the Baikal-Muya belt. Ore bodies are represented by linear stockwork of gold-bearing metasomatites that trace the ore-controlling fault zone. Host rocks are ayulindinskiy metavolcanogenic formation, granitoids and gabbros of the yano-mamakan complex. The rocks in the fault zone have been changed to the ore stage. Аs a result, gold bearing (albite) sericite-quartz-chlorite-carbonate metasomatites and gold-bearing quartz-carbonate vein metaso-matites were formed. At the ore stage, the transformation of enclosing rocks into the fault zone with the formation of gold-bearing (albite) sericite-quartz-chlorite-carbonate metasomatites and gold-bearing quartz-carbonate vein. Gold-bearing pyrite-II and pyrite-III-chalcopyrite-II-galena associations were identified on the territory of the VZRP. Free gold and gold in the form of tellurides (petzite, calaverite) in association with altaite and melonite was found in ore bodies
“Yes, the theory is abstemious, but...”

This article is a critique of Gal Yehezkel’s attempt to refute subjectivism about normative practical reasons, a school of thought inspired by Hume. Yehezkel believes reason, far from being, as Hume puts it, “the slave of the passions,” has the normative authority to be a critic of basic desires and argues that subjectivism lacks the theoretical resources both to acknowledge this alleged truth and to analyze the distinction between wanting an outcome and intending to pursue it. I contend his refutation fails, largely because it operates with a strikingly attenuated view of the subjectivist theory.
Different Arguments, Same Problems
Authors: Urbaniak Rafal
Published: December 2018

I illustrate with three classical examples the mistakes arising from using a modal operator admitting multiple interpretations in the same argument; the flaws arise especially easily if no attention is paid to the range of propositional variables. Premisses taken separately might seem convincing and a substitution for a propositional variable in a modal context might seem legitimate. But there is no single interpretation of the modal operators involved under which all the premisses are plausible and the substitution successful.
Explanation and Individual Essence
Authors: Ujvári Márta
Published: December 2018

In this paper I show that a novel ontic reading of explanation, intending to capture the de re essential features of individuals, can support the qualitative view of individual essences. It is argued further that the putative harmful consequences of the Leibniz Principle (PII) and its converse for the qualitative view can be avoided, provided that individual essences are not construed in the style of the naïve bundle theory with set-theoretical identity- conditions. Adopting either the more sophisticated two-tier BT or, alternatively, the neo-Aristotelian position of taking essences as natures in the Aristotelian sense, can help to evade these main charges against the qualitative view. The functional parallels with the alternative haecceitistic view of individuation and individual essence will also be considered.

DİL KARŞILAŞMALARINDA TRAJİK BİR SON: DİL ÖLÜMÜ
Authors: Yüceol Özezen Muna
Published: December 2018

Bu
çalışmada, dil ilişkilerinin ve dil karşılaşmalarının dil ölümü biçimindeki son
ve trajik safhası değerlendirilmeye çalışılmış, örneğin A dilini B dili
karşısında dezavantajlı hale getiren hatta A dilinin B dili karşısında yok olup
gitmesine neden olan etmenler, farklılık-aynılaşmak ve
farklılık-aynılaştırmak bağlamlarında yorumlayıcı bir yöntemle el
alınmıştır. Buna göre, dillerin kaderleriyle, bu dilleri konuşan etnik
grupların başlarına ne geldiği arasında doğrudan bir ilgi vardır. Dillerin
ölümü, ancak birey-devlet ekseninde farklı olanın desteklenmesiyle ve
uygun siyasal çözüm arayışlarıyla engellenebilir. Çünkü etnik grupların ve
dolayısıyla dillerin yok oluşlarında yalnızca doğal etmenler değil, insani
etmenler de belirleyicidir.
The countries’ benefits for cooperation in East sea
Authors: Nguyen Thong Dinh
Published: December 2018

The complicated issues the East Sea relate to the strategies of major powers. The process of establishing Sino - U.S. in the 1970s and the failure of the U.S. in Vietnam War could be seen as an opportunity for China to expand its power in the East Sea. The crisis of the Soviet Union in the 1980s and the U.S. bogged down in the War on Terrorin later years created a favorable condition for China to enhance its status and foster conflicts in the East Sea. The Asia - Pacific region, with the increasingly and dynamic development, has attracted concerns of all major powers. The success of China’s economic reform and opening-up policy, along with the arms race and its publicdeclaration to monopolize the East Sea have driven China to be the central concern of the countries in the Asia – Pacific region. Thus, major powers have been forced to adjust their strategies for this region. Fully understanding the great powers’ strategic adjustmentswill help Vietnam response appropriately, combine internal strength with diplomatic struggle to build East Sea into a sea of peace, security and cooperation.
Delilik Oyunu: Bir Homo Ludens Olarak Hikmet Benol
Authors: LİVAN Hayrettin Furkan
Published: December 2018

Bu çalışma, gerçek ile kurgu arasındaki ilişkiyi Oğuz Atay’ın “Tehlikeli Oyunlar” adlı metnine atıfta bulunarak eleştirel bir bakış açısı ile ele almaktadır. Makale, yaşam gerçekliğini bir metnin kurgusundan kesin olarak ayıramayacağımız fikrine dikkat çekmektedir. Dolayısıyla, metnin temelinde gerçeklik ve kurgu ayrımının eleştirisi vardır. Johan Huizinga’nın oyun oynayan insan anlamına gelen homo ludens kavramı, bu noktada kritik bir hususa işaret eder. Homo ludens, oyun oynayarak gerçekliği kendi başına yaratan insandır. Gerçekliğin yaratılması, onun (gerçekliğin) özsel olmayan mahiyetini ifade etmektedir. Bu nedenle gerçeklik, aslında kurgudan ayrılamaz olan şeklinde tanımlanabilir. Çalışmanın temel amaçlarından biri, Oğuz Atay’ın “Tehlikeli Oyunlar”ının ana karakteri olan Hikmet Benol aracılığıyla gerçeklik-oyun, gerçeklik-anlatı, oyun-ciddiyet, logos-kaos gibi çeşitli ikili karşıtlıkların eleştirisini vermektir. Bilindiği gibi, bu tür ikili karşıtlıklar -Martin Heidegger’in ve Jacques Derrida’nın ifadesiyle- mevcudiyet metafiziğinin unsurlarıdır. Mevcudiyet metafiziği kavramı, Platon’dan bu yana süregelen Batı düşünce geleneğinin bir tür yorumudur. Bu yorum, beraberinde metafizik Batı düşünce geleneğinin eleştirisi fikrini getirmektedir. Çalışmada, bahsi geçen eleştirinin akıl, delilik ve oyun bağlamına odaklanılmıştır. Oğuz Atay’ın romanlarında ve öykülerinde sıklıkla anormal, topluma yabancılaşmış ve yalnızlaşmış karakterlere rastlanmaktadır. Oğuz Atay’dan bahsedilirken ilk akla gelen metin “Tutunamayanlar” olsa da, en tutunamayan, en deli, en aykırı karakteri “Tehlikeli Ouynlar”daki Hikmet Benol’dur. Bu bağlamda, Atay, belirli normlara uymama, logos düzenine karşıt olma ve günlük yaşamdaki normallerden ayrı olma yoluyla oyunu ve deliliği kullanmaktadır. Burada, Hikmet Benol’un yaşadığı temel sorun olarak varoluş/varolma ve bireyselleş(eme)me sorunlarını ortaya koymak suretiyle, ironinin ve alaycı düşüncenin, varlığın, ölümün/intiharın merkezi rolünü tartışmak amaçlanmıştır. Böylece çalışmada, oyunun kurmacalığının önemi ve delilik mefhumunun a/normalliği, eleştirel bir hayat felsefesi gözetilerek tartışılmaktadır.
