“Matando uma leoa por dia”: ideologia de gênero e de gênesis na “cura” de travestis
Authors: Maranhão Filho Eduardo Meinberg de Albuquerque
Published: January 2019

Apresento neste artigo uma breve cartografia sobre algumas das concepções teológicas / sexuais / generificadas (que podem ser entendidas como uma certa “ideologia de gênesis”) de duas missões evangélicas paulistas que tem entre seus objetivos a “cura, restauração e libertação” de travestis, a Comunidade Esperança Nova Aurora (CENA) e a Missão Salvação, Amor e Libertação (SAL). Tal ideologia de gênesis, por sua vez, tem se perpetuado a partir da difusão de um sofisma, a ideologia de gênero, também presente em tais compreensões de mundo. O trabalho se fundamentou em sintética observação participante na SAL e em entrevistas de história oral e possibilitou identificar superficialmente algumas das formas como se constituem tais missões e como elas atuam na “conversão de gênero” / “restauração” / “resgate” de travestis.
“Mito” e “Poesia” a partir de Tillich e Heidegger.
Authors: Meira Danjone Regina
Published: January 2019

Esta pesquisa busca apresentar a interface mito e “Poesia” em sua relação fundamental com a situação humana, a partir do pensamento de Paul Tillich e Martin Heidegger. Para tanto, propomos um diálogo entre a teologia da cultura de Tillich (1886-1965) e a filosofia de Heidegger (1889-1976). Nesse sentido, nós nos voltamos, especialmente, para as obras “Teologia Sistemática” (1951–63), “Dinâmica da Fé” (1957) e “Teologia da cultura” (1959) de Tillich. Assim como, para as obras “Ser e Tempo” (1927), “Hölderlin e a essência da poesia” (1936), “A coisa” (1950), “Poeticamente o homem habita” (1951) e “O que significa pensar? (1951-1952) de Heidegger. Instauramos aqui, uma análise do problema da existência humana e sua relação primordial com a questão da linguagem. Nessa perspectiva, se destacam a interface mito, religião e linguagem na ontologia de Tillich. Bem como, se enfatizam a relação mito, “Poesia” e existência no pensamento de Heidegger. Assim, a questão da existência e da linguagem são relevantes tanto para a ontologia de Tillich quanto para a ontologia de Heidegger. Por isso, consideramos relevante desenvolvermos um diálogo.
Um estudo sobre o perfil qualitativo de candidatos à esterilização masculina na região sul do Brasil
Authors: Trisch Daiane Costa , Cúnico Sabrina Daiana
Published: January 2019

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que teve como objetivo analisar o perfil de candidatos à esterilização masculina e suas expectativas diante do procedimento realizado pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Participaram do estudo cinco homens, candidatos à realização do procedimento. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e foram analisados seguindo os pressupostos da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram que, dentre as motivações dos participantes para a realização do procedimento está a satisfação com a quantidade de filhos que possuem, estando de acordo, em sua maioria, com o planejamento familiar realizado pelo casal. Problemas relacionados ao uso de métodos contraceptivos, principalmente com o uso de anticoncepcional oral pelas mulheres, também motivaram a decisão dos participantes em realizar o procedimento, considerando seus efeitos colaterais a longo prazo para a saúde da mulher. De acordo com as expectativas apresentadas pelos participantes, verificou-se que esperam, após a realização do procedimento, não se preocuparem com a concepção não planejada e, consequentemente, indesejada de filhos, além de ter uma melhor qualidade de vida e melhorias na vida em casal. Como consequências negativas, os homens abordaram o medo do procedimento falhar e a companheira voltar a engravidar, ou ainda a possibilidade de arrependimento, numa situação em que o homem deseje ter mais filhos com uma nova companheira.

Authors: Vanessa Nunes de Souza Camila Cristina Sanchez Dotta Francine Nathalie Queluz
Published: January 2019

A entrada em uma universidade pode ter como consequência dificuldades de ajustamento a novas demandas. Por isso, estabelecer novas relações interpessoais nesse contexto é de extrema importância. As habilidades sociais auxiliam o indivíduo a lidar de maneira adequada com as demandas das situações interpessoais. O treinamento assertivo e de resolução de problemas são componentes do treinamento em habilidades sociais. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar se o treinamento assertivo e de resolução de problemas contribuiriam para a diminuição dos níveis de ansiedade de estudantes universitários após uma intervenção, assim como a melhora no repertório de habilidades sociais. Para isso, seis estudantes de Psicologia, idade média de 22 (DP=2,4) anos, sendo 4 mulheres e 2 homens que responderam ao Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck e ao Inventário de Habilidades Sociais em três momentos: antes, após e depois de 01 mês de uma intervenção em grupo. De acordo com os resultados, o treinamento assertivo e de resolução de problemas propiciaram ganhos com relação às habilidades sociais gerais. No entanto, no que diz respeito aos resultados de ansiedade, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa após a intervenção. Em estudos futuros seria importante avaliar se uma intervenção a longo prazo teria influência na ansiedade.
Vínculo e aliança inconsciente: reflexões a partir de entrevista com criança com sequela oncológica
Authors: Dorea de Almeida Milena , Alves Lima Santos Ana Paula
Published: January 2019

Este trabalho reflete sobre a noção de vínculo e de aliança inconsciente à luz da Psicanálise das Configurações Vinculares, que tem como base a Psicanálise Freudiana, porém estende seu campo de abordagem para o grupo. O vínculo é o principal conceito que singulariza esta teoria, pois aponta para a existência de um aparelho psíquico grupal e exige a triangulação eu – outro(s) – conector, em que o conector é o que existe de comum e sustenta o vínculo. A discussão será ilustrada com trechos de uma entrevista realizada com Tiago, uma criança que teve tumor de sistema nervoso central (SNC), estava fora de tratamento oncológico e apresentava rebaixamento da visão decorrente da doença e da terapia oncológica. Discute-se a posição dele no grupo familiar como “porta-sintoma” de uma situação angustiante. Há uma aliança de mal entendido em torno da sequela permanente e ele adota uma posição passiva para proteger os pais da angústia. A inserção do psicanalista nos centros especializados de tratamento do câncer infantil abre a possibilidade de intervenções em situações em que os pais negam as angústias e as dificuldades. Há a aposta que, proporcionando um espaço para serem escutadas e observadas questões referentes à dinâmica familiar, podem-se esclarecer os lugares de cada membro e trabalhar no sentido de favorecer a elaboração do que está sendo vivido, contribuindo para a formação de vínculos menos alienantes.

Organisational Culture: A Comparative Study of Public Sector and Private Sector Banks in East Delhi
Authors: Aggarwal Saumya
Published: January 2019

There is a significant transformation in the banking sector in India both in the Public and the Private Sector Banks. The everyday scandals makes it imperative to understand the Organisational Culture of the Public and the Private Sector banks. The various terms that are used in association with organisational culture are: values, ethics, beliefs, ethos, climate, and culture. Ethos are the values that give a unique identity to a group. The study has been conducted using the 4 point Instrument of Udai Pareek on OCATAPACE, the Organisational ethos. OCTAPACE is the acronym for eight steps to create functional ethos. OCTAPACE stands for Openness, Confrontation, Trust, authenticity, Pro-action, Autonomy, Collaboration, and Experimenting. The research is undertaken through a primary survey in 32 branches of the Public Sector and Private Sector banks in East Delhi. The findings of the study indicate that there is an interrelationship between various factors of the OCTAPACE profile in case of the two types of banks. There seems to be no significant differences between the OCTAPACE profiles of the two types of banks.

Standard Operating Procedure for Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Testing (SPATT) Assemblage and Extraction of HAB Toxins v1
Authors: Negrey Kendra , Howard Meredith , Smith Jayme , Kudela Raphael , Caron David
Published: January 2019

SPATT has been developed and tested for a variety of resins (see review by Kudela, 2017). These Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) outline the use of the resin DIAON HP20 since it has been demonstrated to quantify microcystins, anatoxin-a, saxitoxin, domoic acid, and okadaic acid in fresh, brackish, and marine waters, all from the same SPATT sampling device (Lane et al. 2010; Miller et al. 2010, Kudela 2011, Gibble and Kudela, 2014, Howard et al., 2017, Kudela, 2017, Peacock et al., 2018). Cylindrospermopsin and nodularin have also been detected using SPATT with DIAON HP20 resin in California, however, the use of DIAON HP20 for these toxins has not been well characterized in the laboratory. This methodology is ready for wider adoption by the research, monitoring, and management communities interested in detecting and tracking the dynamics of freshwater and marine toxins. The SOP described herein for the assemblage and construction of SPATT bags can be used for deployment in freshwater, brackish and marine environments and the extraction process described below is for the analysis of both marine toxins and cyanotoxins.
El no-do como mal de archivo. De locución propagandística a imaginario social
Authors: Anta Félez José-Luis
Published: January 2019

El NO-DO fue el proyecto audiovisual más longevo de todos los planteamientos documentales del franquismo, sirvió de plataforma del régimen, de archivo documental y conformador de un modelo mítico de realidad. Además de creador de una imagen de la España de la posguerra y del dictador Francisco Franco, en consonancia con los diferentes momentos históricos e intereses del régimen. Este planteamiento propagandístico no puede ser sino el principio de una crítica a la manera en cómo se construye una imagen concreta de la realidad, cómo se establecen verdades con la imagen como discurso y, por último, el poder de deconstruir la última vocación del NO-DO como documental noticioso: la clasificación y normalización de la mirada, primero, de las gentes coetáneas al producto y, por otro, la que nosotros empleamos cuando lo hacemos con un archivo que, cerrado sobre sí mismo, tiende a una multiplicidad de significaciones que abren la posibilidad de observar el NO-DO como un producto sociocultural. En definitiva, planteamos en nuestra comunicación la mirada al NO-DO no sólo como un producto audiovisual de propaganda, que también, sino ante todo como un producto cultural que normaliza y archiva la verdad que intenta mostrar en forma de discurso político cartesiano y donde por encima de lo que muestra está lo que construye.
Vestidos para después de una guerra. La mujer y la moda en el Archivo Histórico NO-DO durante el periodo autárquico
Authors: Melendo Cruz Ana
Published: January 2019

La aproximación a la obra documental del Archivo Histórico NO-DO, instrumento de propaganda de la dictadura, fiel a los presupuestos del régimen franquista, resulta decisiva a la hora de comprender la historia del documental en España en una de las épocas más convulsas de nuestro país: la autarquía. La investigación acerca de la moda femenina de estos años se convierte en nuestro principal objetivo, pues nos permite detectar las marcas de un tejido ideológico con el que componer la memoria de la colectividad y profundizar en conceptos referidos a la mujer como: servilismo, abnegación o sumisión.
Gender and informal social support in Spanish culture
Authors: Fernández-Alonso Mercedes , Ortega Gaspar Marta
Published: January 2019

This paper analyses informal social support as a relevant factor in the process of maintaining the Spanish welfare state. There has been considerable theoretical discussion but little empirical work done to determine the factors that influence the provision of this type of support. More specifically, this article explores the factors that determine the provision of informal social aid in Spanish society at the beginning of the twenty-first century.Using data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), we examine three kinds of informal social support offered by the Spanish: emotional, domestic and economical. The form of aid they offer most frequently is emotional support. Gender has a significant impact on emotional and domestic support, although we do not observe a gender effect in the case of economic support.

An Approximate Short Circuit Strategy for Transient MPPT Performance of Uniformly Irradiated Photovoltaic Modules
Authors: BAŞOĞLU Mustafa Engin
Published: January 2019

This paper presents
an improved strategy to provide better maximum power point tracking (MPPT) performance
and increase energy yield during transient state of MPPT process. This strategy
is based on the estimation of short circuit current (SCC) of the photovoltaic
(PV) system without short circuit. Besides that, this strategy aims to decrease
convergence time to maximum power point (MPP) by preventing real short circuit
of PV source and eliminating the additional switch requirement. To determine
performance of the proposed strategy, simulation studies have been performed in
MATLAB/Simulink and this strategy has been compared with fractional SCC (FSCC)
technique and perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm. In addition, to make
validation experimentally, a low powered single ended primary inductance
converter (SEPIC) is realized. Both simulation and experimental results show
that proposed strategy performs better transient MPPT performance than FSCC
technique and P&O algorithm.
THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF OLBIA PONTICA OF 2nd CENTURY BC IN THE LIGHT OF THE RESTORED CHRONOLOGY
Authors: Nikolaiev N.
Published: January 2019

Restoration of the chronology of Olbia Pontica IV-I centuries B.C. allowed to significantly refine the dating of a large group of inscriptions. It opens the prospect of revision of socio-political history, in particular, 2nd c. B.C. with a single chronological position. The decree in honor of Nicerat, the son of Papias, dates back to the early Roman times. The decree in honor of Stefan, the son of Alexandros belongs to the times of Mithridates VI Eupator. In the first quarter of 2nd c. B.C. a group of private dedications on granite has been issued. In the second quarter of the century is known inscription of builder walls of Posideos, the son Dionysios, which is interpreted as a measure to strengthen the city's defense from the Skilur. Four dedications of Posideos, the son of Posideos from the Naples of Scythians and one of Olbia dated to the turn of the 3rd-2nd centuries B.C. Accordingly, Posideos was not an advisor of Scilure. Traditional reading of coins legends ΒΣΕ, ΒΑΕΙΡΗ of the end of 3rd – first half of 2nd centuries B.C. as the names of the barbarian kings are only a variant of the interpretation.
NUMISMATIC RELICS OF TRADING AND MILITARY RELATIONS OF THE RUSSIAN LANDS OF THE GRAND DUCHY OF LITHUANIA WITH THE STATE OF THE TEUTONIC ORDER IN PRUSSIA
Authors: Orlyk V.
Published: January 2019

The relations of the Ukrainian medieval lands with the state of the Teutonic Order in Prussia left the relics in the documentary sources of the second half of the XIII century – beginning of the XVI century. However, the relations of the Ukrainian medieval lands with the State of the Teutonic Order in Prussia should have been left not only in written sources. Similar relations, even if they were occasional, left a sufficient number of numismatic sources in the cultural layers of the settlements. In this case, we have the Teutonic coins, lost by their owners.
«NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION» IN BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION: ATTEMPT OF GEOGRAPHICAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION
Authors: Rubel V.
Published: January 2019

The stories of paradise garden, first men living in it, their fall and exile from Eden are fixed in the Bible and considered a sphere of religious and mythological, but not a historical component of the Holy Scripture. Textual analysis of the second chapter of «The Book of Genesis» gives grounds to consider Eden a real geographical object, which limits correspond to the territories of today’s Tabriz Valley. Description of paradise garden, where Adam, created by God, was not aware of death and was richly fed, not making any additional efforts, is a peculiar human memory of an era of early pre-Neolithic being. «The exile from Eden» – is an era in history, when «unproblematic» life of primitive men was finished because of lack of the natural resourses, quantity of which was deficient for survival. It made people to occupy territories beyond the original range of their existence. The second result of «the exile from paradise» was a curse of Adam, as since then he had to get food «by the sweat of his brow». Modern scientific terminology calls it «Neolithic revolution», i.e. transition from the foraging to the agriculture, when human had to master the art of tilling for growing food. Inverse chronological calculation method of generations of biblical patriarchs allows to date this historical fracture by the first half – the middle of III millennium BC. The third result of «the exile from paradise» was declared loss of human’s immortality. The emergence of reproductive economy, when a person began to plow the ground, dig channels, build dams, pasture livestock and in such way «get the daily bread», intensified the development of protoscientific knowledge, which resulted in human’s awareness of finality of his personal physical existence. The Bible redefines this fact as the loss of «eternity» by human.

Published: January 2019

The growing implication of information technologies for educational institutions in general and learning in particular has been a subject of discussion. Nowadays, it has become essential for every educational institution to adopt new teaching and learning techniques. E-learning is seen as an option to deliver courses via Internet irrespective of the place. This research seeks to understand the preferences and experiences of students with regard to e-learning and also their awareness about the modules of the e-learning application (Moodle) being provided by the institution. The survey was conducted in the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. A questionnaire was used to collect the data from the students. 124 responses were received from post-graduate and doctoral level research students. The collected data was further analysed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and interpreted according to the objectives of the study. It is found that students are aware of e-learning management tool (Moodle) but, they are not aware of the various modules of Moodle and how to use these institutions should provide proper training and awareness program to the students in Moodle.

Hollywood Sinemasında Çocuk Hackerlar
Authors: Gültekin Gökhan
Published: January 2019

Günümüz dijital çağında her türlü enformasyona çok daha hızlı erişme imkânı bulan insanlık, özellikle kişisel bilgisayarlar, cep telefonları ya da tabletler aracılığıyla enformasyona etki edebilme fırsatı da yakalamış durumdadır. Dahası, ‘dijital yerliler’ olarak adlandırılan ve özellikle 1980’lerin başından itibaren ‘ağ toplumu’ içinde büyüyen çocukların dijital dünyaya çok daha hızlı adapte olabildikleri söylenebilir. Dolayısıyla bu çocukların dijital veriler üzerine etki edebildiklerini görmek mümkündür. Böylece her geçen gün daha fazla ‘bilgisayar dâhisi’ çocuk görmek olası hâle gelmektedir. Çalışma bu noktadan hareketle, internetin ana vatanı ve çıkış noktası olan Amerika’nın sinema evrenindeki bilgisayar dâhisi çocuklara yönelmiştir. Bu açıdan ‘hacker’ veya ‘siberpunk’ tarzı filmlerdeki bilgisayar dâhilerine rastlanılan Weird Science (1985), The Dirt Bike Kid (1985), Masterminds (1997) ve Let’s Be Evil (2016) filmleri örnekleme dâhil edilerek incelenmiştir. Çalışmada bu filmlerdeki çocuk hackerlerin görünümleri benzerlikler ve farklılıklar açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Bu değerlendirmeyi yaparken gerek bilgisayar teknolojisinin gerekse çocuk hackerlerin nasıl bir dönüşüm yaşadığını ortaya koyabilmek adına, ‘durum çalışması/durum saptaması’ yönteminden yararlanılmıştır.

Sinemada Kadın: Başka Dilde Aşk Filmi Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: ASLAN Mustafa
Published: January 2019

Ataerkil
düzen içinde erkeğe göre konumlanan kadından; iyi bir eş, iyi bir sevgili, iyi
bir anne vb. olması beklenmektedir. Bir kitle iletişim aracı olan sinema,
toplumun kadına yüklediği bu basmakalıp anlayışı pekiştirme görevini
üstlenmektedir. Eril söylemin egemenliği altında olan sinemada kadın ikincil
konumda ve belirli kalıplar
çerçevesinde; güçsüz, yardıma muhtaç, erkeği eğleyen, eğlendiren rollerde ve
çoğu zaman cinsel bir nesne olarak temsil edilmektedir. Peyazperdeye yansıyan
kadın imgesi, özne olarak kadın kendisinin yansıması değil, erkeğin arzunun
yansımasıdır. Kadının, erkeğin elinde sinema aracılığıyla cinsel bir nesneye
dönüşmesinden rahatsız olan feminist eleştirmenler; sinemada kadının kadın
olarak var olabilmesinin mücadelesini vermektedirler. Sinemada hâkim eril
söylemi kırmaya çalışan filmlere genel olarak feminist film denilmektedir. Türkiye’de son dönemde kadın
yönetmenler ve feminist sinemacılar, özgün öyküleri ve farklı anlatı tarzları ile
seyirciyi etkilemeyi başarmışlardır. Topluma dayatılan kadın imajının dışına çıkartarak;
kadının öz kimliğiyle temsil edildiği filmler üretme çabası içine giren
yönetmenlerden birisi de İlksen Başarır’dır. Filmlerinde kadın ve erkek
karakterleri ele alış biçimi ile eril egemen söylemin dışına çıkmayı başaran
yönetmenin ilk filmi olan Başka Dilde Aşk
(2009), feminist teori çerçevesine incelenecektir. Bir kadın
yönetmen tarafından beyazperdeye aktarılan Başka
Dilde Aşk, hem söylemi, hem geleneksel kadın bakışını kırması, hem de bu yolla
sinemaya güçlü bir kadın imgesi bırakması bakımından önemlidir.

geliştirilen kültürleşme stresi ölçeğinden yararlanılarak kültürlerarası iletişim
sürecinde kültürleşme stresi Konya Selçuk Üniversitesinde okuyan Afrikalı
öğrenciler üzerinden incelenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca belli değişkenler
doğrultusunda kültürleşme stres düzeylerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı
belirlenmiştir. Saha araştırması yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada 55 öğrenciye
elektronik ortam üzerinden anket uygulanmıştır. Faktör analizi sonuçlarının
değerlendirilmesinde Daya S. Sandhu ve Badiolah R. Asrabadi’nin (1994) (ASSIS) ölçeğindeki

Kadınların Finansal Okuryazarlığı ve Finansal Becerileri Üzerine Bir Yerli Dizi Analizi
Authors: GÜVEN AKDOĞAN Özge
Published: January 2019

Bu çalışma, Türk televizyonlarında yayınlanan bir dizinin
finansal beceriler ve cinsiyet tasarımları üzerinden ortaya koyduğu temsilleri
tartışmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı, dizi söyleminde bu becerilerin
nasıl yer aldığını dilsel ve ideolojik açıdan değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada bu
ana amaç çerçevesinde Kalbimdeki Deniz (Aysun Akyüz, 2016) dizisinin ilk 13
bölümü incelenerek şu araştırma sorularının cevapları aranmıştır: Kadın
kahraman, finansal gücünü hangi kaynaklara yönlendirmektedir? Finansal gücü
elinde bulundurmak isteyen kadın kahramana verilen tepkinin niteliği nasıldır?
Çözümlemenin analiz birimlerini, kadınların finansal bilgi birikimlerine ve
harcama kalemlerine ilişkin ifade ve görüntüler oluşturmaktadır. Bu ifade ve
görüntüler, dizilerin hem metinsel özellikleri içinde hem de paranın eril
erkeklik ve dişillikle kurulan geleneksel bağlantıları temelinde
incelenmektedir. Çalışma, kadın kahramanın finansal bilgi alanında yetersiz;
ancak bütçe yapma ve finansal karar alma süreçlerinde etkin olarak
resmedildiğini göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, anlatının, finansal bilgi
düzleminde erkeklere göre zayıf olmalarına rağmen kadınların, parayı ihtiyaca
uygun ve riske girmeden harcadıkları yönündeki finansal verileri desteklediği
söylenmektedir. Bununla birlikte, dizinin, kadın kadının kurdudur mitinden ve
beyaz atlı prens mitinden beslenen yapısının toplumsal cinsiyet alanındaki
ön yargıların kırılmasını güçleştirdiği vurgulanmaktadır.
GERÇEKLİK, İKTİDAR VE BEDEN KAVRAMLARI IŞIĞINDA MATRIX FİLMİ
Authors: ÖZTAT Fatma
Published: January 2019

Gerçekliğin ne olduğu sorusu insanlık tarihinden bu yana
düşünürleri meşgul etmiştir. Bu arayış, sanatın pek çok kolunda olduğu gibi
sinemada da yansıma bulmuştur. Son yılların en çok tartışılan filmlerinden Matrix
(1999), gerçekliği ele alış şekli ve bunu ilişkilendirdiği kavramlar açısından
önemli bir örnek oluşturmuştur. Matrix, filmde de bahsi geçen Baudrillard’ın
Simülakrlar ve Simülasyon eserinden izler taşımaktadır. Bir simülasyon olarak
nitelendirilebilecek sistemde insanlar zihinsel bir hapishanede olduklarının
farkında değillerdir. Matrix’i makineler kontrol etmektedir ve bu kontrol için
“yanlış bir bilinç” oluşturmuşlardır. Film bu açıdan günümüz iktidar ve
gerçeklik sorgulamalarına ışık tutabilecek bir örnek oluşturur. Makineler insan
bedeninin ürettiği enerjiyi kullanmaktadır. İktidarın üretim üzerinden
şekillendiği bu sistem; üretim, üretim araçları ve iktidar kavramları açısından
daha derin okumalara açıktır. Matrix’te; doğa, üretim araçları ve denetim
araçları olarak tasniflenebilecek simülakrların yansımalarını görebilmek
mümkündür. Simülasyonun sonunu açıklarken, Baudrillard’ın kullandığı “gerçeğin
çölü” ifadesi Matrix filminde de birebir geçmektedir. Matrix’in sonlanması
demek, gerçek dünya üzerinde bir daha deneyimlenemeyecek doğal güzelliklerin de
tamamen sona ermesi anlamına gelecektir. Gerçek dünya, “gerçeğin çölü” olarak
tanımlanacak, Matrix’ten kurtulanlar, bu sevimsiz gerçeklikle tanışacaktır.
BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR THE ALLER — LYKOV MOISTURE TRANSPORT GENERALIZED EQUATION WITH CONCENTRATED HEAT CAPACITY
Authors: Kerefov M. A. , Nakhusheva F. M. , Gekkieva S. Kh.
Published: January 2019

The article considers the Aller Lykov equation with a Riemann Liouville fractional time derivative, boundary conditions of the third kind and with the concentrated speciﬁc heat capacity on the boundary of the domain. Similar conditions arise in the case with a material of a higher thermal conductivity when solving a temperature problem for restricted environment with a heater as a concentrated heat capacity. Analogous conditions also arise in practices for regulating the water-salt regime of soils, when desalination of the upper layer is achieved by draining of a surface of the ﬂooded for a while area. Using energy inequality methods, we obtained an a priori estimate in terms of the Riemann Liouville fractional derivative, which revealed the uniqueness of the solution to the problem under consideration.
MODEL OF SELF-OSCILLATIONS WITHOUT HARMONICAS OF THE BASE FREQUENCY
Authors: Zaitsev V. V. , Fedyunin E. Yu.
Published: January 2019

The nonlinearity of self-oscillatory system limiting amplitude of the generated signal is a source of the higher harmonicas of the base frequency. Harmonicas distort a form of self-oscillations and lower stability of their frequency. In the work the mathematical model of generation of self-oscillations, free from the highest harmonicas strictly monochromatic self-oscillations is offered. The model is based on a method of equivalent (harmonious) linearization, popular in the applied theory of nonlinear oscillations. Numerical realization of the model in discrete time has allowed to formulate two algorithms of generation of monochromatic self-oscillations. One of them includes the procedure of numerical integration of a Cauchy problem for the system of ordinary differential equations. Another reproduces processes in the discrete dynamic system designed on analog model-prototype. The monochromaticity of discrete self-oscillations is confirmed within the numerical experiment.

This article analyzes the views that exist in legal and political scientiﬁc literature on the development of federal relations in Russia during drafting the Constitution 1993 and after its adoption. The main issues in the article are to determine at what stage of the development of the federalism our state is, what trends are inherent in this stage. Without solving these issues it is impossible to fully realize a number of important tasks that legislative authorities of the Federation and of its subjects face. The article concludes that modern Russian federalism is not a ﬁnally established model of political and legal relations between the center and the subjects of the Russian Federation. It is proposed to characterize the current status of federal relations as the period of ongoing reforms towards the optimization of relations between federal and regional levels of state power.
LEGITIMACY AND LEGALITY OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL PARAMETERS
Authors: Polanski V. V.
Published: January 2019

The article deals with the political and legal aspects of ensuring the legitimacy and legality of public power in its constitutional parameters. The analysis of the relationship between the characteristics of legitimacy and legality of public power is given, the conclusion is made about the self-interested use of the legally uncertain concept of legitimacy in political practice in relation to Russia. The institution of elections is characterized as a tool to increase the legitimacy of power in the state, the relative nature of their inﬂuence on the degree of legitimacy of power due to the existing practice of manipulation in the conduct of elections. Attention is drawn to the fact that elections to the authorities may be a formal measure of the legitimacy of the government, but this does not mean that the government has real (actual) legitimacy. First of all, the elections should ensure the legality of power as the basis for the formation of the trust of people, which is transformed into the legitimacy of public power as a whole.

Authors: Lazareva V. A.
Published: January 2019

According to the Federal Law No. 376 as of October 30, 2018 the system of criminal procedure participants is complemented by a person, whose case is allocated into separate proceeding because of conclusion of pre-trial cooperation agreement with him/her. According to the amendments introduced into the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC), such person can be considered as a separate participant of criminal proceeding only in situations where he/she is involved in procedural actions with respect to him/her crime accomplices. A person has a procedural status of suspect, indictee, defendant within the criminal case, in which this person concluded a pre-trial cooperation agreement. The adoption of this Law can be regarded as a reaction on Constitutional Court Decision No. 17 as of July 20, 2016 Case of checking Article 56 parts 2, 8, Article 278 part 2 and chapter 40.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Russian Federation in relation with complaint of Mr. D.V. Usenko. By this decision the federal legislator was obliged to introduce amendments into the CPC of the RF concerning the participation of an indictee in separate proceeding because of conclusion of pre-trial cooperation agreement with him/her, in trial of main case in order to testify against his/her crime accomplices.
Influence of In-Situ Annealing of Si-Rich Silicon Carbide Thin Films
Authors: Baskar Sam , Nalini Pratibha
Published: January 2019

Si-rich Silicon carbide thin films have grown popularity in the past decade for various opto-electronic applications. Post processing of these thin films at temperature higher than 1000oC usually lead to phase transformations to form Si nanoclusters embedded in amorphous SiC deposited by sputtering on thin films. However, the processing technique is crucial to avoid contaminants, and obtain good quality films. Therefore, a novel in-situ annealing approach within the deposition chamber is carried out at temperatures lower than usual. The influence of in-situ annealing on the material property is meticulously studied by means of Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE), Diffused Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). In SE, the spectra are fitted using various models; the refractive index values confirm the Si-richness of the film. The band gap (2.5 to 1.5 eV) is extracted from UV spectra using Tauc plot, which confirms the coexistence of the multiphase structure with the possibility of having Si-NC with different dimensions. The results obtained are promising for optoelectronic device applications.

Introduction: People are constantly exposed to radiation from natural and artificial sources of radiation. Radon is one of the natural radiation sources that its concentration in very high in some part of the world. The presence of radon gas in the air can increase the risk of lung cancer. In this study, the level of indoor radon in dwellings of Isfahan city was surveyed. It should be mentioned that an active alpha GUARD instrument was used to measure radon concentration. All of the measurments took place during the winter and spring of 2018.
 
Materials and methods: In the present survey, 51 residential/commercial buildings were considered to radon gas monitoring based on the population distribution on 15 urban areas and the population of each area and technical possibilities. In each residential/commercial buildings, sampling was carried out at different floors of the building. A professional radon monitoring device (Alpha GUARD PQ2000 PRO) was used to measure indoor radon gas con-centration.
 
Results: The Results of measuring were shown that the radon concentration in the residential/commercial buildings varied from 3 to 251 Bq / m3, with a mean value of 28.57 ± 39.38 Bq / m3. The average annual effective dose re-ceived by the residents of the studied area was estimated to be 0.49 mSv. The results showed a significant difference between the average radon concentra-tion in different floors and the different ventilation of the building, higher values in the lower floors and weaker ventilation.
 
Conclusion: Indoor radon concentration in 4 % of the building was deter-mined to be higher than the limit (100 Bq / m3) recommended by the World Health Organization.

Introduction: The importance of air quality and paying attention to what we breathe have been valuable always. So that air pollution is one of the key environmental issues in urban communities. Several studies show that the potential effects of air pollution on human health include increased mortality and changes in cardiovascular and respiratory functions.
 
Materials and methods: The population of this study was people in 22 dis-tricts of Tehran megacity. The questionnaires were placed at the municipality centers of 22 districts and randomly completed by people who came to the center. Questions included the importance of air pollution, the comparison of air quality with last year, the main sources of air pollution, the problems created by air pollution, the quality of informing system, as well as questions about their satisfaction about government’s actions on air pollution control plans. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 24.
 
Results: 84.14 % of the participants stated that air pollution is important to them and has a negative influence on their lives. Also, most of them were not satisfied with the measures taken and expected that actions would be better to reduce air pollution. 91.10 % of the participants considered cars as the main causes of air pollution. Also, 68.22 % of people believed that air pollution had a significant negative impact on their quality of life.
 
Conclusion: Most people are willing to live at a higher cost but a less pol-luted environment, while more of them are not well aware of their role in reducing air pollution. Moreover further education should be provided on the role of people in reducing air pollution. Additionally, the government must deal with air pollutants and take serious measures.

Published: January 2019

Background: Although the results were conflicting, the Paleolithic diet (PD) was proposed to be effective in improvement of metabolic status. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of PD on glycemic markers. Methods: Online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched up to December 2017 without any restrictions. The weighted mean difference (WMD) was also calculated using random effects model. Results: Eventually, eight good quality studies were included in the present systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled analysis showed that although adherence to the PD led to reduction of fasting blood glucose (FBG) concentrations, it was no statistically significant (WMD = -0.31, 95% CI: -0.70, 0.07, P = 0.11). Moreover, compared with the control diets, the PD consumption did not significantly affect other glycemic markers such as 2-h post-prandial blood glucose (2h PBG), insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Conclusions: Adherence to the PD had no significant effect on the glycemic markers, but reduction was observed in FBG levels.

Published: January 2019

Purpose of the study: This study attempt to analyze the frame of online advertisements from Watsons and Guardian. Both companies utilized a similar storyline in advertising its products during the Hari Raya period, however, an advertisement from Watsons had given rise to controversy and the racial issue has been raised. Methodology: This study employed quantitative content analysis and qualitative textual analysis to ensure a more reliable finding in research. Main Findings: The finding reveals that advertisement from Watsons often framed women in a negative light by 1) Defining beauty as being fair-skinned, 2) Interpreting women’s quality of relationship correlates with the fairness of their skin, 3) Framing and judging dark-skinned women as negative and unable to pursue their dream love life, and 4) providing skin whitening remedies to solve their problems. This contrasts with Guardian’s advertisement which was framed more neutral. Applications of this study: This study stressed the significance of business ethics and corporate responsibility. It is not uncommon when an advertiser exaggerates some characteristics of the advertisements in order to attract people’s attention. However, exaggerated advertisements might contain some misleading information that may influence the credibility and truthfulness of the then and future advertisements and hence could further affect the company negatively as consumers had lost confidence in the company. Novelty/Originality of this study: Most framing studies focused on types of frames, information/news sources, and slants of the frame, this study provides an in-depth analysis of the four framing functions suggested by Entman, which is less explored in the field.
