The diachronic translatability of Digenis Akritas in fictional informational books for children
Authors: Αγγελάκη Ρ.-Τ.
Published: June 2024

Τα κατορθώματα των Ακριτών αποτέλεσαν έμπνευση για τα ακριτικά τραγούδια που συντέθηκαν προκειμένου να μνημονεύσουν το ένδοξο βυζαντινό παρελθόν. Έπειτα, ακολούθησε η σύνθεση του έπους του Διγενή Ακρίτα, σηματοδοτώντας την αρχή της νεοελληνικής λογοτεχνίας. Ο χαρακτήρας του Βασίλειου Διγενή Ακρίτα αναπαρίσταται σε πλήθος παιδικών βιβλίων, από συγγραφείς που επιχειρούν να διασκευάσουν το έπος και να εμπλουτίσουν τις ιστορικές γνώσεις του κοινού τους για τη θρυλική αυτή μορφή. Στην παρούσα εισήγηση θα διαπιστωθεί πώς καταδεικνύεται η δύναμη, οι αρετές και οι πολεμικές ικανότητες, η φιλοπατρία και η ευαισθησία του περιβόητου ήρωα με βάση το ομώνυμο έμμετρο αφήγημα σε παιδικά βιβλία γνώσεων. Συγκεκριμένα, θα εξεταστούν οι μυθιστορηματικές βιογραφίες του Δημήτρη Βαρβαρήγου, Διγενής Ακρίτας. Ένας ήρωας που έγινε θρύλος (2007), και της Εύης Τσιτιρίδου-Χριστοφορίδου, Βυζαντινή Κωνσταντινούπολη (2011), και, με βάση τη Συγκριτική Γραμματολογία, θα αναζητηθούν τα μοτίβα που επιβεβαιώνουν τις διακειμενικές σχέσεις των βιβλίων με το παλαιότερο λογοτεχνικό γραπτό μνημείο της δημώδους ελληνικής μεσαιωνικής γλώσσας και, συγκεκριμένα, την παραλλαγή του El Escorial.

The heroic actions of Akrites inspired medieval poets who composed the acritic songs to commemorate the glorious byzantine past. Then the composition of the epic poem of Digenis Akritas followed, which marked the beginning of modern Greek literature. The character of Vasilios Digenis Akritas is portrayed in numerous children’s books by authors who attempted to adapt the epic poem and enrich the readers’ historical knowledge concerning this legendary figure. The paper examines the way Digenis’ legendary strength, virtues, martial skills, philanthropy and sensitivity are demonstrated in childrens’ books. The sample consists of the fictional biographies of Dimitris Varvarigos, titled Digenis Akritas. The Hero Who Became a Legend (2007), and of Evi Tsitiridou-Christophoridou, titled Byzantine Constantinople (2011). Based on Comparative Children’s Literature, the study explores the motifs that confirm the intertextual dialogue between the sample and epic poem of Digenis, and more specifically the version of El Escorial.

The Impact of Budget Revenue and Expenditure Forecasting Errors on Inflation in Turkey: An Analysis of the 1975-2021 Period
Authors: Kara Berat
Published: June 2024

The forecasts embedded in the state budget both influence and are influenced by economic indicators. The divergence of budget forecasts from reality or the occurrence of inaccuracies due to various reasons significantly affects specific economic indicators. In the majority of cases, inaccurate forecasts lead to deviations in certain economic indicators. This study addresses this issue within the context of Turkey for the period 1975-2021. Budget forecasts in Turkey often yield inaccurate results. The Prais-Winsten regression method is employed to analyze whether errors in revenue and expenditure have any impact on inflation. The analysis reveals that expenditure errors have an inflationary impact. While there are studies in the literature examining the impact of inflation on forecasting errors, there is a notable gap in research focusing on the reverse scenario. This study aims to fill this gap and contribute significantly to the existing literature.

Authors: Cheng Li Cheng Li , Cheng Li Yu Song
Published: June 2024

Using machine learning methods to analyze and predict time series data is a hotspot issue. Because of its potential profitability, it has attracted a lot of research and investment, particularly in the financial field. Compared with other machine learning prediction models, long short-term memory (LSTM) is very effective for processing time series data, due to its special network structure. In this study, we use three models to predict the Japanese stock market movements. These models can be used to learn and predict multivariate data by adjusting the structure and hyperparameters. The original dataset is made up of NIKKEI 225 and some individual stocks. Subsequently, several well-known technical indicators are calculated and added as a new dataset. Two efforts were also made to improve the quality of the dataset. Multiple sets of numerical experiments are established to examine the impact of increasing the number of features on these models and the impact of lengthening the training data on these models. The results show that lengthening the length of training intervals and increasing the number of features can improve the model performance effectively. The LSTM model has better performance than the encoder-decoder LSTM model and CNN-LSTM model in stock market prediction.

Published: June 2024

Wood is a primary material in furniture design and development. However, amid the global carbon reduction discourse, the efficient utilization of wooden resources has become a pertinent topic. Therefore, this study employed Taiwan’s Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) made from cypress as the material. Through computer-aided design simulations and verification, we designed a Bionic Design Chair (BC) and three sets of commonly found chairs known as Traditional Modeling Chairs (TC). These were analyzed for stress and displacement using Solidworks software. The seating surfaces were categorized into two forms: strip-style and flat-style, and tested for four weight ranges – 45, 64, 81, and 100 kg, representing pressure weights based on human body weight. After Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis via Solidworks software, the BC and TC2 (strip-style) exhibited displacement between 0.9-3.0mm, outperforming TC1 and TC3 which showed displacement between 4.99-12.23mm. Stress analysis showed a range of 2.34-5.68 MPa for TC1-TC3, while the BC, due to its de-sign, could withstand a larger stress range of 4.8-10.59 MPa, superior to the three TC chair designs. In summary, furniture innovation and development are time-consuming processes. This study, by utilizing computer-aided simulations and tests, expedites the development process. The validation of BC design ensures both safety and aesthetic appeal within limited time and resources.

Authors: Xiang-Yu Deng Xiang-Yu Deng , Xiang-Yu Deng You-Min Fan
Published: June 2024

The gradient descent method suffers from the defects that the parameters must be set manually and easily fall into local minima in neural network training. This paper proposes an improved gradient descent method with adaptive parameter setting and global search capability. The proposed adaptive algorithm does not require any prior knowledge to obtain suitable parameters. Parameters such as learning rate are modified according to different training stages without human intervention. The structure of the gradient descent method is improved by using evolutionary computation, and the idea of lightweight populations is introduced into the method for global search and fast convergence. In addition, we introduce the meta-heuristic idea to make the swarm more intelligent and achieve better robustness. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed adaptive algorithm performs excellently with outstanding global search and generalization capabilities.

This article mainly discusses the optimization methods of machining parameters for CNC machine tools. Firstly, based on the functional requirements and application scenarios of CNC machining, three-dimensional modeling and motion simulation of twin machine tools are achieved, and a data-driven cutting process model is constructed. Then, in the actual production process, in addition to ensuring the normal processing of physical equipment such as CNC machine tools, the design of data perception schemes and the layout of data acquisition equipment during the processing were also completed, providing data support for information exchange between digital twins and real equipment. In terms of data transmission, the operation data of the entire CNC machine tool processing process is collected through the data perception layer equipment, and all perception data is then uploaded to the virtual space through the communication network of the transmission layer to drive the twin model for subsequent simulation, optimization, and prediction. Finally, based on the results of data collection, an objective function that needs to be optimized was established in the optimization process of CNC machining parameters. The objective function takes the total processing time and processing cost as optimization objectives, and an improved bee colony algorithm is used to solve the objective function. Through experimental simulation, it has been found that the use of CNC machine tool processing parameters can improve both time and processing costs, and the optimization results meet the design expectations.

JFL 的學習環境中，學習者在目標語言的輸入方面受到了限制。因此，作者建議學生在課外積極尋找符合自己興趣和水平的題材輸入，鼓勵自律學習，並實施了以聽解為重點的課外自律學習活動。學生首先設定了聽解活動的目標，並確定了具體要進行的聽解活動，並提交了計劃書。隨後，他們各自進行聽解活動，每月提交一次「反思表」。對於四位優秀學習者，通過 SCAT 對反思表進行分析，結果顯示出共同點：1.在預見階段，受到了說日語的朋友的影響日本人朋友的影響而產生動機；2.在遂行階段，使用各種學習策略進行試驗和錯誤；3.在省察階段，運用後設認知來具體化自己的挑戰。

 

For learners in the JFL environment, input in the target language is limited. Therefore, the author recommends that learners continue to search for input that matches their interests and level as much as possible outside of class. Learners first set goals for their listening comprehension activities, then decided what specific listening comprehension activities they would conduct and submitted their own plans. After that, they conducted the listening comprehension activities on their own and submitted a ""reflection sheet"" every month. The results of the SCAT analysis of the four excellent learners revealed the following commonalities: 1) they were motivated by their friends who speak Japanese in the anticipation phase, 2) they used various learning strategies in the execution phase through trial and error, and 3) they used metacognition in the reflection phase to concretize their tasks. In the reflective phase, the students were able to use metacognition to make their own tasks concrete.

Hidrodinamik Yapılı Numune Üzerine Etkiyen Sürükleme Kuvvetlerinin Sayısal ve Deneysel Olarak İncelenmesi
Authors: Vonal Murat , Karabay Hasan
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışmada, torpido benzeri bir cismin düşük Reynolds sayılı akışta bünyesine etkiyen sürükleme kuvveti deneysel ve sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Cisim, NACA 0012 profil kesitine sahip eksenel simetrik bir numune olup 3D yazıcı kullanılarak üretilmiştir. Deneyler, viskoz akış bölgesinde 0,37-8,00 Reynolds sayısı aralığında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçümler, gliserin tankı içinde serbest düşmeye bırakılan cisim üzerinden alınmıştır. Sayısal çalışmalar numunenin gliserin havuzu içinde serbest düşme hareketi yaptığı limit hız akış koşulları için ticari bir CFD kodu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen hesaplamalardan oluşmaktadır. Deneysel ve sayısal hesaplama çalışmaları ile elde edilen sürükleme katsayıları karşılaştırılmış, Reynolds sayısının Re~0,37 değeri için sürükleme katsayısının Cd~215 mertebelerine ulaştığı Reynolds sayısının Re~8,00 değeri için ise Cd~11 mertebelerine düştüğü belirlenmiştir. Deney şartlarında minimum ve maksimum sürükleme kuvvetleri sırasıyla 0,01 N ve 0,33 N olarak elde edilmiştir. Tasarımı yapılan deney düzeneği, verilen mertebelerdeki ufak sürükleme kuvveti değerlerini düşük maliyetle ölçebilme kabiliyetine sahiptir. Sayısal analizler, deney koşullarında basınç kaynaklı sürükleme kuvvetinin toplam sürükleme kuvvetine oranının Reynolds sayısı artışına bağlı olarak %3 mertebelerinden %2 mertebelerine gerilediğini göstermiştir. Basınç kaynaklı sürükleme kuvvetinin bu denli düşük oranlarda kalması sadece viskoz kaynaklı sürükleme kuvveti ile cisme etkiyen total sürükleme kuvvetinin temsil edilebileceğini göstermiştir.
Dificultades aristotélicas en torno a la definición de ‘vivir’
Authors: Barrionuevo-Chebel Marcelo
Published: June 2024

La homonimia de ‘vida’, que conduce a un conjunto de dificultades lógicas, epistemológicas y ontológicas, es tratada sistemáticamente por Aristóteles en DA, II, 2-3, donde el filósofo emplea la noción de unidad por sucesión (toi ephexes) como criterio lógico-semántico, ontológicamente anclado. Este criterio permite salvar cierta unidad del término y evitar una representación inadecuada de las distintas clases de vida y de la relación entre ellas. El planteo es relevante para una comprensión no-reductiva de la vida nutritiva en animales y personas, cuya consideración de detalle vuelve discutible el énfasis de la interpretación de Agamben de la noción aristotélica de vida nutritiva como base histórica y sistemática de la biopolítica.
Aporías de la enunciación y del tiempo en Confesiones, XI
Authors: Ramasco Ruth María
Published: June 2024

El presente trabajo busca poner de manifiesto la vinculación entre el horizonte problemático de los planteos agustinianos sobre la enunciación y el tiempo, desarrollados en Confesiones, XI, y los argumentos del escepticismo académico, tal como se encuentran en los planteos aporéticos presentados por los textos de Sexto Empírico. Dicha vinculación será expuesta a través de dos aporías, la de la enunciación y la del tiempo. La aporía de la enunciación se desarrolla en los textos de Sexto como la imposibilidad de la enunciación, puesto que ésta constituiría un todo sucesivo, compuesto de partes que no son. Por ende, su existencia sería imposible, ya que no puede existir un todo cuyas partes no existen. San Agustín supera esta imposibilidad a partir del análisis de la misma enunciación y los actos del espíritu que posibilitan su realidad. La aporía del tiempo es desarrollada por Sexto a través de cinco argumentos de reducción al absurdo, de los cuales el artículo escoge la exposición de tres: la existencia del tiempo como limitado o ilimitado, como divisible o indivisible, o como compuesto de tres instancias temporales existentes, pasado, presente y futuro. También esta aporía es superada por actividad del espíritu y la distentio animi. Tiempo y lenguaje se vinculan intrínsecamente en una exposición que aborda sus presuntas aporías desde el tránsito a la realidad del espíritu humano.
¿Traslada el pueblo su poder al gobernante, tal como sostiene la teoría de Suárez?
Authors: Castaño Sergio Raúl
Published: June 2024

El presente estudio se refiere a una de las cuestiones más importantes en el ámbito de la filosofía política clásica y escolástica, como lo es el del origen del poder, según es propuesto por la llamada “teoría de la traslación”, cuyo más connotado sostenedor ha sido Francisco Suárez. En primer lugar, se analiza críticamente la teoría de la traslación en la versión del propio Suárez. Luego, el artículo enfoca el tratamiento de un caso histórico representativo, en el cual el poder político pareció haber sido “trasladado”, con el fin de evaluar el valor de verdad de la teoría en cuestión a la hora de explicar el origen del poder en el plano empírico.
Legítima defensa vs. pacto con tirano en Francisco Suárez
Authors: Font Oporto Pablo
Published: June 2024

El propósito de este artículo es estudiar el papel que, según Francisco Suárez, en una situación de gobierno tiránico, juegan la legítima defensa y la existencia de pacto previo con el tirano. Como se verá, en la teoría de la resistencia suareciana el primer elemento prevalece sobre el segundo, pero es preciso analizar el fundamento de dicha primacía. Para ello se examinan concretamente los casos del juicio de deposición del tirano y de magnicidio del tirano a manos de un particular, tal como los aborda Suárez en la Defensio fidei. Dicho análisis se lleva a cabo teniendo en cuenta el diferente tratamiento que Suárez da a los dos clásicos tipos de tirano: el mal gobernante y el usurpador. Por último, intentaremos dar respuesta a diversas contradicciones en las que aparentemente Suárez incurre.
Pre-Service Teachers’ Ethical Reasoning about Climate Ethics and Climate Justice
Authors: Sarıbaş Deniz , Bakanay Cicek Dilek
Published: June 2024

The climate crisis is an ethical issue besides being an environmental problem. Therefore, examining pre-service teachers’ ethical reasoning about climate change is crucial since they will educate future global citizens. To achieve this aim, this study probed into pre-service teachers’ reasoning on climate ethics and climate justice by asking them to answer the questions in two different reflections. The participants of the current study were 31 pre-service teachers (10 males, 21 females) who study in the English Language Teaching Program at the Faculty of Education at a private university in Turkey. In the 1st reflection, they identified and justified ethical issues regarding climate change and discuss how they could teach them in their class. The 2nd reflection asked them to discuss climate justice and design an instruction to teach climate justice by using a story and a game. The results suggest identifying and naming the ethical issue as climate justice and asking pre-service teachers to design teaching on stories and games in a structured way to facilitate ethical reasoning.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to investigate how the algebraic thinking skills of seventh-grade students develop with the task-assisted teaching approach. The study was conducted in a seventh-grade class at a public school in Istanbul. The tasks were designed to support the basic components of students’ algebraic thinking processes - pattern recognition, writing algebraic expressions, constructing and solving equations. During the implementation, the students in the class were divided into groups of three and four, and a teacher candidate in each group was responsible for implementing the tasks. Teacher candidates were informed about the instructions provided by the researcher, the implementation principles, and possible student errors before each task. The entire implementation process was recorded with the consent of the students. This paper focused on the pattern recognition component of algebraic thinking. Video analysis and students' responses showed that their algebraic thinking processes improved in the pattern recognition component, and furthermore, the pattern recognition component evaluation through qualitative analysis showed that there was an improvement in the students' algebraic thinking skills compared to their previous performance. The results indicate that task-assisted instruction could be an effective method for improving students' algebraic thinking skills and supporting their algebra learning.

Authors: Yürük Tatar Songül , Dağ Nilgün
Published: June 2024

21. yy, özgürlüklerin sürekli olarak ve sınırsız bir şekilde genişlediği bir çağdır. Sağlıktan alışverişe, eğitimden politikaya kadar hayatın hemen her alanında artan bir seçim özgürlüğü söz konusu olmuştur. Bu çalışma, herkes için artan özgürlük bağlamında Türkiye’de resmiyette olmasa da pratik yaşamda izlerine rastladığımız bir özgürlüğü incelemektedir: Öğretmeni seçme özgürlüğü. Velilerin öğretmen özelliklerine yönelik tercihlerinin incelendiği bu çalışmada, üç temel soru ele alınmıştır. Birincisi, öğretmenin mesleki özellikleri velilerin öğretmen tercihinde ne kadar etkilidir? İkincisi, öğretmenin kişisel özellikleri velilerin öğretmen tercihinde ne kadar etkilidir? Üçüncüsü, velilerin ilkokul öğretmeni tercihinde en fazla önem verdikleri üç öğretmen özelliği nedir? Bu soruları ele almak için velilerin öğretmen tercihleri hakkındaki anket bilgileri kullanılmıştır. Anket sonuçları, velilerin öğretmen tercihlerinin heterojenliği hakkında kanıtlar sunmuş; velilerin yaşı, eğitim durumu ve gelir düzeyi arttıkça öğretmeni tercih etme oranlarının yükseldiğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca araştırma bulguları, velilerin büyük çoğunluğunun annelerden oluştuğunu; ancak, öğretmen seçimine ebeveynlerin birlikte karar verdiklerini göstermiştir.

Çocukların çok yönlü gelişimlerine oldukça önemli katkılarda bulunan çocuk edebiyatının birçok alt dalı bulunmaktadır. Çocuk edebiyatı eserleri yazılı ve sözlü olarak gruplandırılmaktadır ve sessiz kitaplar yazılı edebiyat ürünleri arasında yer almaktadır. Genel olarak çocuk edebiyatı ürünleri, çocukların başta dil ve bilişsel gelişimi olmak üzere tüm gelişim alanlarını desteklemekte aynı zamanda onların yaratıcılıklarını ve hayal güçlerini geliştirmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra sessiz kitaplar edebiyatın en güzel sanatsal biçimlerinden biri olarak kabul edilirler ve çocuklara çok çeşitli konu, tema ve zorluk seviyesinde ürünler sunarlar. Çocuklar tarafından görsel okuma aracılığı ile incelenen resimler, onların yeni hikâyeler üretmesini de sağlamaktadır. Bu derleme çalışmasının amacı erken çocukluk döneminde önemli bir yere sahip olan sessiz kitapların tanımını, türlerini ve çocukların gelişimindeki önemini ve katkısını ortaya koymaktır. Çocukların görsel hafızasını güçlendiren, kelime dağarcığını geliştiren ve çocukların kendi hikâyelerini özgürce oluşturmalarına katkı sağlayan sessiz kitapların yaygınlığının ve bilinirliğinin artması, eğitimciler ve ebeveynler arasında tercih edilirliğini de gün geçtikçe artırmaktadır.
Evaluation of Earthquake-Related Damages on the Reinforced Concrete Buildings due to the February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaras-Turkiye Earthquakes
Authors: Tonyalı Zeliha , Kıral Adnan
Published: June 2024

On February 6, 2023, two powerful quakes (with magnitudes of Mw7.7 and Mw7.6) struck the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ), separated by around nine hours. Both earthquakes occurred in the Pazarcık and Elbistan districts of Kahramanmaraş province and were felt in many countries surrounding them. In addition, these quakes resulted in substantial losses of life and property in 11 provinces along the EAFZ. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ground motions and discuss Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings’ performance in Hatay, one of the most earthquake-affected provinces. On-site investigations revealed that many buildings were damaged in the first Pazarcık earthquake (Mw7.7), and many of them collapsed following the second Elbistan earthquake (Mw7.6). Furthermore, many of the defects uncovered by scientists in previous earthquakes were also observed in these earthquakes. The study also recommended revising the latest Turkish response spectrum for the earthquake region.
