De camiño na Saudade: Itinerarium cordis in Deum
Authors: Torres Queiruga Andrés
Published: May 2019

Respondendo a unha vella intuición, o artigo trata da saudade nunha modalidade non estudada: a saudade vivida alén das palabras, expresada na vivencia da carne e no movemento do corpo. Rosalía, poeticamente lonxe de Galicia, sente nacer unha fonda saudade, convertendo a ansia da lembranza en pasos no camiño, en comuñón coa realidade cósmica a través da lúa e coa Transcendencia na voz das campás. Aproveito para sinalar as etapas do meu encontro co tema, abordando finalmente o seu significado teolóxico: esperanza versus angustia, profundación metafísica e apertura a Deus, expresada nunha experiencia abisal con saloucos “máis fonda cás palabras”.

Saco Arce escribiu a súa gramática dentro dun marco coñecido como Gramática tradicional; este marco foi substituído tardiamente en Galicia polo estruturalismo, que non apareceu ata finais dos anos 60 do século XX. Ora ben, estar escrito neste marco teórico non torna esta gramática nin menos valiosa, nin menos rigorosa. Neste traballo pretendo comezar unha exploración que nos mostre, dun xeito introdutorio, que recursos, que ferramentas conceptuais, empregou Saco para confeccionar a súa gramática.
Buying and Borrowing Books: Book Consumption In Late Nineteenth-Century Sweden (pp 121-154)
Authors: Hansen Henning
Published: May 2019

How did Swedish readers in the late nineteenth century acquire reading materials, and what books were the most popular? And how did their reading preferences change over time?A few unique, recently discovered sources, consisting of sales’ and borrowers’ ledgers from three different institutions – a parish library, a commercial lending library and a bookshop – can help to answer these questions. These three institutions represented key elements of the Swedish book trade, and together they served customers from the entire social spectrum, from farmhands, blacksmiths and labourers to bishops, noblemen and literary critics.  Generally speaking, the Swedish reading public of the late nineteenth century was divided into two groups: those who bought books, and those who borrowed them. The bookshop was where all the latest books could be found, and Strindberg, Ibsen and Daudet were among the best-selling authors. The parish library, by contrast, had only a limited range of fiction – mainly written by an earlier generation of authors – and primarily acquired books that would enlighten and educate, rather than entertain. However, the members of the parish library preferred fiction above all, and over the years they transformed from omnivorous to discerning readers. The commercial lending library, which specialised in novels, attracted many bookworms, with some people borrowing from fifty to one hundred books a year, very often historical novels.Different customer groups seem to have had different literary preferences. The study shows for example that female customers of the bookshop tended to buy books on women’s emancipation, and preferred Tolstoy to Strindberg – who was the male customers’ favourite. And while romantic and gothic stories, and the so-called “city mysteries” by Eugène Sue were hugely popular among the students and the artisans of the commercial lending library, they aroused little interest among the bookshop’s customers.
Sukarno's Thought about Marhaenism
Authors: Aminuddin Aminuddin , Katimin Katimin , Syukri Syukri
Published: May 2019

Marhaenism is a pure thought sparked by Soekarno which departs from the most substantial and universal human life needs, namely the Social Conventions of Man, which requires the realization of the welfare of human life that can only be fulfilled if the harmonization between individual independence and social justice has been created. In reality these demands could not be found at the time, and this concern over the problems (the fate of the Indonesian nation) was the starting point of Sukarno's study in giving perspective to the ideology of marhaenism. This group of poor and destitute people is what Soekarno called the Marhaen.
Efficacy of tablet-based applications for mental training in preserving cognitive abilities of older adults
Authors: Turconi Marcello Maria , Vella Filomena , Mosetti Francesco
Published: May 2019

Background and aims: Nonpathological, age-related cognitive decline is among the most feared consequences of aging. Evidence suggests that the continued use of mental abilities can slow down cognitive decline. We developed two tablet-based applications for the mental training (ElasticaMente) and social interaction/entertainment (iNonni) of older adults. The aim of this study was to evaluate their effect on cognitive performance.Materials and methods: This was an exploratory study of 8 months duration. Sixty healthy residents of a senior community center aged ≥60 years were recruited and divided into three groups: participants in Groups 1 and 2 received a tablet with ElasticaMente and iNonni (Group 1, n = 20) or with iNonni only (Group 2, n = 20); participants in Group 3 (n = 20) did not receive any tablet. Participants in Groups 1 and 2 were instructed to use the applications three times a week (each session ~45 minutes). Cognitive performance was assessed at baseline (T0) and after 8 months (T1) using a battery of six validated tests.Results: In Group 1, cognitive test scores remained consistently stable from T0 to T1, suggesting maintenance of cognitive abilities. In contrast, in Groups 2 and 3, scores worsened from T0 to T1 across all tests. Comparison of the changes from T0 to T1 revealed statistical significance for Group 1 versus Group 3, but not for Group 1 versus Group 2 and Group 2 versus Group 3.Conclusion: The 8 months use of the applications ElasticaMente and iNonni was associated with a significant benefit in terms of preserved cognitive performance compared with no tablet-based activity. The potential contribution of ElasticaMente to the attenuation of cognitive decline should be further investigated. (Digital Health)

Authors: Halubovich V. V.
Published: May 2019

The article analyzes the information about Lublin 1569 Union from the narrative and documentary sources that date back to the reign of the first monarchs of Vasa dynasty. The author defines main contexts of the term «union» use in the sejm constitutions and documentation of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania congresses. The direct correlation between the estimates of the Union at different levels of state representative institutions of the Commonwealth is revealed. The Lublin Sejm of 1569 was a key event in the history of Eastern Europe, but in the historical works (chronicles and annals) of the second half of 16th – early 17th century information about it and its decisions are concise and general. At the end of 16th – the first half of 17th century the memory of Lublin Union was not mainly broadcast by narrative channels. In keeping the memory about 1569 events legal deeds and state institutions decisions were of considerable importance. The result of the state union with Poland was the approval of the public law standards that could not be ignored by any representative of the so-called political people of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the following centuries. The author maintains that as a whole the Grand Duchy of Lithuania gentry did not question the correctness of the 1569 choice, took and defended «Lublin myth», as under those conditions it had more benefits than losses.
The functions of ancient Egyptian obelisks (according to the inscriptions on the 18th and 19th dynasties monuments)
Authors: Spartak A. A.
Published: May 2019

The problem of comprehension the function of the ancient Egyptian obelisks is connected with the issues of formation, functioning and development of the institute of kingship in ancient Egypt, which justifies the relevance of the case studies. There is still a consensus on the question of understanding the meaning of the erection of the obelisks by kings. There is no doubt that the obelisks are erection in pairs near the entrance to the temples. The article examines the inscriptions on the ancient Egyptian obelisks of the reign of the 18th and 19th dynasties, taking into account their better preservation and accurate attribution. The main purpose of this work is that the author sees the identified functions and characteristics. In the introduction, the author gives a brief historical overview of the issue and compares the position of the stories with the data obtained from the analysis of texts in the original language. Authors should obtain a definition of the concept of «obelisk» both in the Egyptian language and in other languages of antiquity and the Middle Ages, on the basis of which the author concludes that the designation of obelisks in Egyptian was originally associated with their property – luminosity. In conclusion, the author concludes that the obelisks are dedicated to the ancestor of the king (God or king) along the male lines, in the temple of which they were erected. One of the obvious functions of the obelisks, according to the inscriptions on them, was to imprint the royal name (one of the hypostasis of the royal soul).
Tutorial You tube: English Learning Media Under the Frame Work of Studentsâ€™ Need Analysis in EFL class
Authors: Herlina Rina
Published: May 2019

This study reports how Tutorial YouTube (TYT) is used to teach English to support learning activity in EFL class in Galuh university considering that the students still require English knowledge to complete and polish what they learn in the classroom. The language media in TYT is presented in Indonesian language because it is only for Indonesian students. In the making of TYT, students' need analysis (SNA) is required to find out students' weakness in learning English. It's usually all about what language features they need and what constructed videos need to be uploaded. The purpose of the study is to find out the process of how non-native English teacher (NNET) proceeds SNA underpinning the construction of TYT for the sake of enhancing students' English performance.This case study took place in one of private universities in West Java. One English teacher, in particular English lecturer, participated for the interview and class observation. The interview result was crosschecked with the classroom observation under the Triangulation process. The goal of Triangulation is to get deep result and finding of the research. Thus, the result shows that NNET uses SNA-based TYT. She observes what the students need by scanning them all the way through during the learning session. If she thinks that her students need enrichment in one of language features, she will construct a TYT and upload it. This kind of classroom observation might scaffold the teacher in teaching English to EFL students since the time allotment in teaching English in the class can not cope with many aspects of language features. The conclusion is TYT, as the learning media, is developed based on SNA and it is fruitfull to be implemented to fulfill what the students need in learning English.

Exploring the genre of undergraduate teacher education acknowledgments
Authors: Porras Anthony
Published: May 2019

Genre-based studies in various disciplines have continuously flourished throughout the years. Despite this proliferation, local studies dealing with the acknowledgment section of the undergraduate theses tend to be premature most specifically in the field of Teacher Education (TE). The study aimed to analyze, through the presence of moves, the overall structure of the thirty (30) randomly sampled undergraduate acknowledgments from the field of TE using Hylandâ€™s model. The findings revealed that the undergraduate acknowledgment structure was comprised of Thanking Move which is the most pervasive move, followed by the Reflecting Move. Though the Announcing Move was notpresent, one unique move, which is Thanking God, appeared to be dominating in the corpus. It is suggested for future studies to increase the number of the corpus in order to yield more interesting results and explore the socio-cultural aspect of the investigated genre.

Published: May 2019

Bu çalışmada, Cumhurbaşkanlığı Hükümet Sistemine geçişi sağlayan anayasa değişikliği
referandumunun yazılı basındaki sunumu ele alınmıştır. Bu çerçevede öncelikle, medyanın sırasıyla siyaset,
ideoloji ve manipülasyonla olan ilişkisi irdelenmiştir. Özellikle medya ve siyaset, birbirlerini etkileyen,
sınırlayan aynı zamanda birbirlerinden beslenen sembiyotik alana sahip iki kavram iken medya, egemen
ideolojinin yeniden üretimi ve ideolojik yeniden üretimin bir unsuru konumundadır. Bu bağlamda medya,
ideolojik yeniden üretimi gerçekleştirirken alıcıları etki altına alma, yönlendirme gibi fonksiyonlara sahip olan
manipülasyon aracını kullanarak, siyasal söylemler üretmektedir. Bu söylemler, geniş kitleler üzerinde karşılık
bulduğu oranda, benzer söylemlerin üretimini de beraberinde getirmektedir. Örneklem olarak farklı ideolojik
çizgilere sahip olduğu düşünülen Sabah ve Sözcü gazeteleri seçilerek, ilgili gazetelerin nisan ayından
başlanarak, referandum gününden bir gün önce olan 15 Nisan’a kadar ki sayıları manşet haber ve haber
metinleri ölçütünde çözümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Teun Van Dijk’in eleştirel söylem analizi modeline göre
yapılan çözümleme sonucunda ilgili gazetelerin haber sunuş şekillerinin, aslında kendi ideolojilerinin yeniden
üretimine yönelik olduğu saptanmıştır.

Yönetişim ve İçi Boş(altılan) Devlet: Devletsiz Kamu Yönetimine Doğru
Authors: ŞAHİN Bahadır , ATEŞ Hamza
Published: May 2019

Karmaşık adaptif sistemler teorisinden esinlendiği düşünülen yönetişim, gündeme getirdiği yeni
kuramsal modellerle popülerliğini korumaktadır. 1980’lerde ortaya atılan içi boş devlet modeli bunlardan
biridir. Modele göre devletlerin merkezi kurum ve kuruluşları üretim potansiyellerini tamamen özel şirketlerin
oluşturdukları ağlara devrederek hâkim otoritelikten hakem üyeliğe evrilmelidir. Üretim araçları özelleştirme
veya dış kaynak kullanımı yoluyla devredilmeli ve vatandaşın refahını hedefleyen hizmetler özel şirketler ve
Sivil toplum kuruluşları tarafından sunulmalıdır.
Bu makale, içi boş devlet modelinin günümüze uygunluğunu tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu
çerçevede, öncelikle konu ile ilgili teorik altyapıyı özetlemekte ve daha sonra da güncel yönetişim metotları
arasındaki bağlantıları açıklamaktadır. Her ne kadar günümüzde pek çok yönetişim aracı mevcut olmakla
beraber, kamu yönetimlerinin içinin boşaltılması uygulamasına en fazla hizmet ettiği düşünülen özelleştirme
ve dış kaynak kullanımı örnek olarak alınmış bulunmaktadır. Son olarak, makalede içi boş(altılmış) devlet
modelinin Türk kamu yönetimine uygunluğu tartışılmaktadır. Özellikle dış kaynak kullanımı ve özel sektörden
hizmet alımı gibi yöntemlerin yanı sıra, çeşitli sektörlerin katılımını sağlamayı amaçlayan mekanizmaların,
Türkiye’de kamu hizmetlerinin üretimi ve sunumunda yönetişim ilkelerine doğru evrilmenin işaretleri olduğu
vurgulanmaktadır.

barışçıl tutumu değişerek Çarlık Rusyası’nın Boğazları istilaya yönelik politikalarına geri dönülmüştür. Savaşın
başladığı yıl 1939 Eylül-Ekim aylarındaki ittifak görüşmelerinde Montrö’nün değiştirilmesi, 1940 yılı Kasım
ayında Dışişleri Bakanı Molotov ile Hitler arasında Berlin’de yapılan ittifak müzakerelerinde ise Türk Boğazlarının
kontrolünün Sovyetlere bırakılması istenmiştir. Sovyetler, savaşın son iki yılındaki konferanslarda Boğazlarla ilgili
isteklerini müttefikleri İngiltere ve ABD’ye kabul ettirmeye çalışmıştır. Stalin Montrö’nün değiştirilmesi talebini
ilk olarak 1943 yılı sonunda yapılan Tahran Konferansı’nda gündeme getirmiş fakat savaş şartları içerisinde
zikredilen istek detaylı olarak ele alınamamıştır. Talep, bundan sonraki Moskova, Yalta ve Potsdam
Konferansları’nda gündeme taşınmıştır. Bu çalışmada arşiv belgeleri ışığında Sovyetler’in 1946 yılında Boğazlarla
ilgili olarak Türkiye’ye verdikleri iki nota ve bu notalara Türkiye, İngiltere ile ABD tarafından verilen cevaplar
dönemin tarihsel gelişmeleri dikkate alınarak irdelenecektir.
Avrupa Birliği ve Krizler: Tarihi ve Güncel Krizler Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: ERDOĞAN Seven
Published: May 2019

1950’li yılların sonunda Avrupa Topluluğu’nun kurulmasıyla Batı Avrupa’da ortaya çıkan bütünleşme
hareketi, zaman içinde gelişerek Avrupa Birliği’ne dönüşmüştür Avrupa Birliği altmış yılı aşan bütünleşme
tarihinde çok sayıda krizle mücadele etmek zorunda kalmıştır. Krizler Avrupa bütünleşmesinin gelişim sürecini
derinden etkilemiştir. Ancak günümüzde altmış yılı geride bırakan bir bütünleşme örneği olan Avrupa
Birliği’nde bile krizlerle mücadele etmek halen oldukça büyük bir meydan okumadır. Avrupa Birliği hakkında
son dönemde yapılan akademik çalışmaların yoğunlaştığı konulardan biri de Birliğin 2000’li yıllar sonrasında
birbiri ardına ya da eş zamanlı olarak yaşadığı krizler olmuştur. İngiltere’nin üyelikten ayrılma kararı, mülteci
krizi ve Avro krizi gibi son dönemde yaşanan ve kesin bir şekilde çözülemeyen krizler halen Avrupa Birliği
gündemini çokça meşgul etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Avrupa bütünleşmesi açısından meydan okuma
niteliğindeki krizlerin, bütünleşme üzerindeki etkilerini tarihsel ve güncel krizleri birlikte dikkate alarak ele
almaktır. Bu kapsamda 1960’lı yıllarda yaşanan ilk krizlerinden başlanarak bütünleşme tarihinde yaşanan
krizler kronolojik olarak ele alınarak krizler sonrasında Topluluk ya da Birlik sisteminde meydana gelen
değişimler üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonunda Avrupa Birliği tarihinde geçmiş dönemlerde yaşanan
krizler ve sonuçlarından hareketle mevcut krizlerin de bütünleşme üzerinde ortaya çıkarabileceği olası
değişimler hakkında çıkarımda bulunulmaya çalışılmıştır.

Bu makalenin amacı, Ahmet Midhat Efendi’nin ne tür bir girişimci profili sergilediğini ortaya
koymaktır. Bunun için Ahmet Midhat Efendi’nin girişimcilikle ilgili düşüncelerinin, romanlarındaki girişimci
karakterlerin ve bizzat gerçekleştirdiği iktisadi girişimlerin değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Ahmet Midhat
Efendi’nin girişimciliğinin anlaşılabilmesi için kişisel niteliklerinin yanı sıra içinde yer aldığı Osmanlı iktisadi
yapısı ve bu yapının 19. yy’daki dönüşümü de göz önünde bulundurulmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda Ahmet
Midhat Efendi’nin hem geleneksel hem de kapitalist girişimci tipolojisine uymadığı, her iki tipolojiyle de temel
niteliklerde ayrıştığı ortaya konulmuştur. Bu sebeple Ahmet Midhat Efendi’nin temsil ettiği girişimci tipinin
“çevre girişimcisi” olarak tanımlanması tartışılmıştır. Ahmet Midhat Efendi’nin bu arafta tutumunun, pasif bir
biçimde de olsa, farklı bir arayışın zımni bir ifadesi olarak okunabileceği üzerinde durulmuştur.
Türkiye’de Psikoloji Alanında Kadın Çalışmaları ve Kadın Akademisyenlerin Çalışma Ortamı Üzerine Bir İnceleme - A Study on Women Studies in Psychology and Working Conditions of Women in Academia
Authors: BOYACİOGLU İnci , HÜNLER Olga
Published: May 2019

Bu incelemede, Türkiye’de, üniversitelerin psikoloji
bölümlerinde kadının statüsü ve cinsiyetçilik sorunları farklı parametreler
çerçevesinde tartışılmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, Türkiye’de, psikoloji
alanında kadın çalışmalarının durumu ve sorunları; Türkiye’deki kadın
hareketleri ile ilişkilendirilerek irdelenmiştir. Bu başlıkta; ulusal psikoloji
çalışmalarında kadın sorunlarına ne düzeyde bir duyarlılık gösterildiği,
bilimsel üretimlerde cinsiyetçilik konusunun ne yoğunlukta ve hangi
çerçevelerde ele alındığı ile ulusal psikolojide feminist psikolojinin temsil
sorunları ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca psikoloji bölümlerinde kadın ve erkek
çalışanların oranları, olası cinsiyetçi ayrımlar çerçevesinde özetlenmiştir.
Son olarak çalışan kadın akademisyenlerin cinsiyetçilikle ilişkili olarak profesyonel
hayatlarında yaşadıkları sorunlar, yürütülen betimsel bir çalışmanın bulguları
çerçevesinde sunulmuştur. Bu çalışmaya katılmaları için Türkiye’deki tüm
psikoloji bölümlerinden toplam 485 kadın akademik personele davet gönderilmiş;
çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 87 kadın akademisyenden, cinsiyet ayrımcılığı
barındıran kişisel deneyimlere ilişkin kısa bir anketi doldurmaları
istenmiştir. Sonuçlar, psikoloji bölümlerinin sayısal olarak kadın-erkek
eşitliğinin hâkim olduğu iş alanları olmasına karşın, kimi cinsiyetçi tutum ve
davranışların alanda çalışan akademisyenler arasında da dikkat çekici düzeyde
yaygın olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Hem akademik üretim faaliyetlerine hem de
bir çalışma alanı olarak akademiye ilişkin göstergeler, psikoloji alanında
toplumsal cinsiyet ve kadına yönelik cinsiyetçilik konularında mücadele
edilmesi gereken başlıklara dair önemli bilgiler vermektedir.
Time-Universal Data Compression
Authors: Ryabko Boris
Published: May 2019

Nowadays, a variety of data-compressors (or archivers) is available, each of which has its merits, and it is impossible to single out the best ones. Thus, one faces the problem of choosing the best method to compress a given file, and this problem is more important the larger is the file. It seems natural to try all the compressors and then choose the one that gives the shortest compressed file, then transfer (or store) the index number of the best compressor (it requires log m bits, if m is the number of compressors available) and the compressed file. The only problem is the time, which essentially increases due to the need to compress the file m times (in order to find the best compressor). We suggest a method of data compression whose performance is close to optimal, but for which the extra time needed is relatively small: the ratio of this extra time and the total time of calculation can be limited, in an asymptotic manner, by an arbitrary positive constant. In short, the main idea of the suggested approach is as follows: in order to find the best, try all the data compressors, but, when doing so, use for compression only a small part of the file. Then apply the best data compressors to the whole file. Note that there are many situations where it may be necessary to find the best data compressor out of a given set. In such a case, it is often done by comparing compressors empirically. One of the goals of this work is to turn such a selection process into a part of the data compression method, automating and optimizing it.
Does Animal Personality Affect Movement in Habitat Corridors? Experiments with Common Voles (Microtus arvalis) Using Different Corridor Widths

Animal personality may affect an animal’s mobility in a given landscape, influencing its propensity to take risks in an unknown environment. We investigated the mobility of translocated common voles in two corridor systems 60 m in length and differing in width (1 m and 3 m). Voles were behaviorally phenotyped in repeated open field and barrier tests. Observed behavioral traits were highly repeatable and described by a continuous personality score. Subsequently, animals were tracked via an automated very high frequency (VHF) telemetry radio tracking system to monitor their movement patterns in the corridor system. Although personality did not explain movement patterns, corridor width determined the amount of time spent in the habitat corridor. Voles in the narrow corridor system entered the corridor faster and spent less time in the corridor than animals in the wide corridor. Thus, landscape features seem to affect movement patterns more strongly than personality. Meanwhile, site characteristics, such as corridor width, could prove to be highly important when designing corridors for conservation, with narrow corridors facilitating faster movement through landscapes than wider corridors.
Confidence Measures for Deep Learning in Domain Adaptation

In recent years, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have led to impressive results in a wide variety of machine learning tasks, typically relying on the existence of a huge amount of supervised data. However, in many applications (e.g., bio–medical image analysis), gathering large sets of labeled data can be very difficult and costly. Unsupervised domain adaptation exploits data from a source domain, where annotations are available, to train a model able to generalize also to a target domain, where labels are unavailable. Recent research has shown that Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can be successfully employed for domain adaptation, although deciding when to stop learning is a major concern for GANs. In this work, we propose some confidence measures that can be used to early stop the GAN training, also showing how such measures can be employed to predict the reliability of the network output. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been tested in two domain adaptation tasks, with very promising results.

Glioblastoma (GBM), a high-grade glioma (WHO grade IV), is the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Available treatment options for GBM involve a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy but result in a poor survival outcome. GBM is a high-vascularized tumor and antiangiogenic drugs are widely used in GBM therapy as adjuvants to control abnormal vasculature. Vasculogenic mimicry occurs in GBM as an alternative vascularization mechanism, providing a means whereby GBM can escape anti-angiogenic therapies. Here, using an in vitro tube formation assay on Matrigel®, we evaluated the ability of different histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) to interfere with vasculogenic mimicry. We found that vorinostat (SAHA) and MC1568 inhibit tube formation by rat glioma C6 cells. Moreover, at sublethal doses for GBM cells, SAHA, trichostatin A (TSA), entinostat (MS275), and MC1568 significantly decrease tube formation by U87MG and by patient-derived human GBM cancer stem cells (CSCs). The reduced migration and invasion of HDACis-treated U87 cells, at least in part, may account for the inhibition of tube formation. In conclusion, our results indicate that HDACis are promising candidates for blocking vascular mimicry in GBM.
