AVRUPA BASININDA TÜRK İMAJI: 2017 TÜRKİYE ANAYASA DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ REFERANDUMU ÖNCESİ ONLİNE İNGİLİZ BASININDA TÜRKLER
Authors: MERTOĞLU Selver
Published: December 2021

Avrupa, tarihten günümüze kadar Türklere yönelik olarak yabancı düşmanlığını sürdürmektedir. Özellikle Haçlı seferleri ile başlayan yabancı düşmanlığı 1453 yılında Türklerin İstanbul’u almasıyla farklı bir boyut kazanarak Avrupalıların “Türkler kimdir?” sorusuna yanıt aramasına neden olmuştur. Öteki olarak adlandırılan Türkler Avrupalıların gözünde barbar, gaddar, rüşvetçi, keyfine düşkün vs. olarak kalıplaşmış ifadelerle sunulmaktadır. Başlarda Avrupalıların gözünde Türklerin sahip olduğu ordu gücünden duyulan korku II. Viyana kuşatmasından sonra Türkleri küçümseyici bir hal almıştır. Bir Avrupa ülkesi olan İngiltere’de de Türk imajı diğer Avrupa ülkeleri ile hemen hemen aynıdır. Ticari ilişkilerden dolayı daha ılımlı olmaya çalışan İngiltere’de zaman zaman Türkiye’nin yaşadığı sıkıntılı günleri fırsat bilerek olumsuz Türk algısını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. 2017 yılında Türkiye’de gerçekleşen anayasal referandum sürecinde Avrupa, basın-yayın organlarını kullanarak Türkiye’ye ve Türklere yönelik olumsuz imajı yeniden üretmiştir. Dolayısıyla Avrupa ülkesinde önemli bir konuma sahip olan İngiltere çalışmanın örneklemi olarak belirlenmiş ve referandum sürecinde İngiliz basınında (The Guardian, The Thelegraphy, The Independent) yer alan referandum ile ilgili birer haber, Teun Andrian Van Dijk’ın eleştirel söylem analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir.
INFLATION AS AN INSTRUMENT OF MONETARY REGULATION
Authors: ALPAGO Hasan
Published: December 2021

Inflation is one of the fundamental parameters that provide information about the progress and general outlook of an economy. The main aim of this study is therefore to evaluate economic competence in the fight against inflation using a scientific system. The more information that is disseminated about a problem and its solution, the greater the chances of success. Because the fight against inflation is not just a fight that the central bank will wage alone. If inflation is a problem especially for the lower- and middle-income brackets, information dissemination is particularly important here. With the invention of money, the economic power that manages money struggled with inflation, which reduced the value of money. From this perspective, inflation from the past to the present has been the focus of a constant debate. On the other hand, everyone knows more or less the concept of inflation. However, there are very different opinions about its causes and consequences. So that, due to the importance of the topic, inflation, along with its causes and consequences, was viewed pluralistically in this study. Here the causes and consequences of inflation are examined, particularly within the framework of mainstream theories. This is the inflation perspective of economists like Smith, Ricardo, Marks, Fisher, Keynes, and Krugman. The problem scrutinized as part of a comparative analysis.
THE DARK SIDE OF TURKEY-BULGARIA ROUTE
Authors: KÖKSAL Süleyman
Published: December 2021

Illegal affairs and dark relationships can always be encountered in any place. International links and officials can also be seen in these illegal affairs. When the communists came to power in Bulgaria in 1944, there were a significant minority of Turks. Refugee Turks arrived in the following years and some Turks from Turkey began to participate in illegal affairs in Bulgaria. The cooperation in the underground worlds of Bulgaria and Turkey, which are at opposite ends of the cold war period, is remarkable. Why do those who participate in illegal affairs in Turkey flee to Bulgaria or other Balkan countries? In this study, illegal affairs and dark relations in Turkey and Bulgaria has been discussed. Turks are the most important ethnic minority in Bulgaria. However, Bulgaria allowed Turks from Turkey involved in illegal affairs to enter the country. At the same time, black propaganda was made in the publications of the Communist Party. It was aimed to create chaos in Turkey’s internal and foreign policy. A negative perception of Turkey was formed. Turks carried on their illegal affairs and dark relations after the communist period. Bulgaria is a crucial exit point between east and west in the arms and drug trafficking. Official confessions made in Bulgaria after the communist period give clues about illegal affairs and the system of dark relations.

Determinants of anaemia among children aged under-five years in Meghalaya, India
Authors: Acharjee Rituparna
Published: December 2021

Childhood anaemia poses serious threats to public health and may impair growth, cardiac function and cognitive and physical development. It also causes increased susceptibility to infections. Statistical analysis was performed on the cross-sectional data of 2957 children from 2015-2016 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-IV), using binary logistic regression model, to assess the significance of some risk factors of child anemia. Anemia was diag-nosed by WHO cut-off points on hemoglobin level. The mean haemoglobin concentration was 114.19 g/dl (95% CI, 113.55-114.83) with the prevalence of child anaemia as 60.4% in Meghalaya. Of the 7 districts in Meghalaya (as per the seven-district classification used in NFHS-4), the highest prevalence was found in West Garo Hills (70.4 per cent), followed by Ri- Bhoi (67.7 per cent) and East Garo Hills (66.4 per cent) and the least prevalence was found in East Khasi Hills (45.6 per cent). The results of binary logistic risk factors showed higher likelihood of anaemia for lower age groups and higher birth orders (p <0.05).

A study on effective monsoon and dry spells of short return periods The Indian mountain ranges during monsoon months in two north Bengal districts
Authors: DAS A. D. , MUKHOPADHYAY S. K.
Published: December 2021

This article uses daily rainfall data (April-October) of Cooch Behar (1971-90) and Jalpaiguri (1972-90), the two predominantly rainfed farming districts of Terai zone of West Bengal, to study the, nature of different rainfall parameters of this area. It was observed that the mean date of Onset of Effective Monsoon (OEM) of this region is about one month in advance from the normal occurrence of monsoon over Kerala. However, the monsoon rains, here, retreat at about the same time with those of  Kerala. Distribution of the duration of dry spell has been studied to have some idea of the nature of critical dry spells during the monsoon season. The article also examines how prolonged, on the average, are the monsoon breaks for different return periods. Expected length of dry spell (in days) for 2, 5, 10 and 20 years return periods have been estimated with the help of suitably fitted curves for each location.

Windfield related light-trap catches of Nephotettix spp. (N. virescens Distant and N. nigropictus stål), vectors of rice tungro virus in West Bengal
Authors: MUKHOPADHYAY SUJATA , MUKHOPADHYAY S.
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. Regular peak catches of rice green leafhoppers, Nephoteltix virescens (Distant) and N. nigropictus (Stal) are usually obtained in a light-trap 60 ± 14 days after the peak monsoon rains in August in West Bengal. In 1986, in addition to this peak catch, very high catches were obtained on two different dates, 17 September and 10 November. The high catch on 17 September was probably due to the increase of the effective trap radius caused by the overcast sky and by the presence of a resident population. The high catch on 10 November was due to the transport of the insects by cyclonic winds and deposition in a zone of light and variable winds (at a convergence) real the trapping site. Trajectory analysis indicates that these insects may have been brought from the north-east, upto about 280 km away from the trapping site.

ABSTRACT. A review is presented of the radar observation of tropical cyclones in the Indian seas. The use of radar in operational cyclone tracking and forecasting as well as the knowledge gained from radar observations of the structure, wind and rainfall distribution and motion of cyclones are discussed. In the context of the expected introduction of operational Doppler ra1ars in India, the future prospects in the use of radar for operations and research are outlined. Some important areas where our understanding of cyclones can be improved by studies with radar in conjunction with other observations are listed.
Satellite-based monitoring and prediction of tropical cyclone intensity and movement
Authors: KELKAR R. R.
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. Capabilities of meteorological satellites have gone a long way in meeting requirements of synoptic analysis and forecasting of tropical cyclones. This paper shows the impact made by the satellite data in the intensity estimation and track prediction of tropical cyclones in the Indian Seas and also reviews the universally applied Dvorak algorithm for performing tropical cyclone intensity analysis.

Extensive use of Dvorak's intensity estimation scheme has revealed many of its limitations and elements of subjectivity in the analysis of tropical cyclones over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, which, like cyclones in other ocean basins, also exhibit wide structural variability as seen in the satellite imagery.

Satellite-based cyclone tracking techniques include: (i) use of satellite-derived mean wind flow,             (ii) animation of sequence of satellite images and extrapolation of the apparent motion of the cloud system and (iii) monitoring changes in the upper level moisture patterns in the water vapour absorption channel imagery.

Satellite-based techniques on tropical cyclone intensity estimation and track prediction have led to very significant improvement in disaster warning and consequent saving of life and property.

Introduction:

Arthroscopy simulation is increasingly used in orthopaedic residency training. The implementation of a curriculum to accommodate these new training tools is a point of interest. We assessed the use of a high-fidelity arthroscopy simulator in a strictly voluntary curriculum to gauge resident interest and educational return.

Methods:

Fifty-eight months of simulator use data were collected from a single institution to analyze trends in resident use. Comparable data from two additional residency programs were analyzed as well, for comparison. Orthopaedic residents were surveyed to gauge interest in continued simulation training.

Results:

Average annual simulator use at the study institution was 27.7 hours (standard deviation = 26.8 hours). Orthopaedic residents spent an average of 1.7 hours practicing on the simulation trainer during the observation period. A total of 21% of residents met or exceeded a minimum of 3 hours of simulation time required for skill improvement defined by literature. Most (86%) of the residents agreed that the simulator in use should become a mandated component of a junior resident training.

Conclusion:

Although surgical simulation has a role in orthopaedic training, voluntary simulator use is sporadic, resulting in many residents not receiving the full educational benefits of such training. Implementation of a mandated simulation training curriculum is desired by residents and could improve the educational return of surgical simulators in residency training.
