Authors: Zhang Chenchen , Xu Meiying , Yu Hongwei , Hua Yuting , Wang Xiaoyan , Nan Xianan , Zhang Jing
Published: December 2023

The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the extent to which demographic characteristics, stigma, and social support impact the self-management abilities of individuals with bipolar disorder in remission. Participants (
N
= 114) completed a demographic questionnaire, Self-Stigma Scale–Short Form, Social Support Rating Scale, and Self-Management Scale for Patients With Bipolar Disorder. Mean scores were 60.65 (
SD
= 10.42) for self-management, 35.76 (
SD
= 7.14) for social support, and 21.38 (
SD
= 5.06) for stigma. In the univariate analysis, age, educational level, method of payment for care, illness duration, and number of hospitalizations demonstrated significant associations with self-management (
p
< 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between self-management and social support (
r
= 0.574,
p
< 0.01) and negative correlations between self-management and stigma (
r
= −0.489,
p
< 0.01) and stigma and social support (
r
= −0.476,
p
< 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis included number of hospitalizations (β = −3.818), social support (β = 0.436), literacy (β = 2.132), and stigma (β = −0.397). Individuals in remission from bipolar disorder exhibit moderate levels of self-management. Follow-up interventions should prioritize enhancing social support and addressing stigma to promote improved self-management and overall well-being. [

Bifurcation and negative self-feedback mechanisms for enhanced spike-timing precision of inhibitory interneurons
Authors: Jia Yanbing , Gu Huaguang , Wang Xianjun , Li Yuye , Zhou Chunhuizi
Published: December 2023

A high spike-timing precision characterized by a small variation in interspike intervals of neurons is important for information processing in various brain functions. An experimental study on fast-spiking interneurons has shown that inhibitory autapses functioning as negative self-feedback can enhance spike-timing precision. In the present paper, bifurcation and negative self-feedback mechanisms for the enhanced spike-timing precision to stochastic modulations are obtained in two theoretical models, presenting theoretical explanations to the experimental finding. For stochastic spikes near both the saddle-node bifurcation on an invariant cycle (SNIC) and the subcritical Hopf (SubH) bifurcation with classes 1 and 2 excitabilities, respectively, enhanced spike-timing precision appears in large ranges of the conductance and the decaying rate of inhibitory autapses, closely matching the experimental observation. The inhibitory autaptic current reduces the membrane potential after a spike to a level lower than that in the absence of inhibitory autapses and the threshold to evoke the next spike, making it more difficult for stochastic modulations to affect spike timings, and thereby enhancing spike-timing precision. In addition, firing frequency near the SubH bifurcation is more robust than that near the SNIC bifurcation, resulting in a higher spike-timing precision for the SubH bifurcation. The bifurcation and negative self-feedback mechanisms for the enhanced spike-timing precision present potential measures to modulate the neuronal dynamics or the autaptic parameters to adjust the spike-timing precision.
"Play with me!" Zhan jie as productive fans in the Chinese idol industry
Authors: Zheng Yuhang , Xiao Qing
Published: December 2023

With the spread of K-pop culture in China, home masters known as zhan jie have emerged. Zhan jie are productive fans who photograph their idols and post the pictures on social media platforms. Zhan jie are essential in fandom culture because they can help their idols consolidate and expand their fan bases. However, fandom studies have seldom focused on zhan jie, possibly due to the difficulties in reaching them. We employ participatory observation to examine how zhan jie as productive fans impact the Chinese idol industry. We reveal that zhan jie are professionals, acting as mediators who connect idols and fans. Finally, we sketch a new landscape of the idol industry, with zhan jie as mediators who adjust the relationship between idols and peripheral fans.

Dans quelle mesure Hadrumète fut-elle une capitale régionale avant le ive siècle ?
Authors: Lepelley Claude
Published: December 2023

Le rôle régional d’Hadrumète fut modeste avant Dioclétien, sauf probablement pour la gestion des biens impériaux inclus dans la vaste regio Hadrumetina, dont l’étendue a pu préfigurer les contours de la province tardo-antique de Byzacène, même si elle fut l’un des chefs-lieux des conuentus judiciaires du proconsul d’Afrique. Il a fallu attendre la partition de la province proconsulaire d’Afrique en 303, pour que qu’Hadrumète obtienne la préséance administrative et politique correspondant à son importance démographique et économique.
Moulages de têtes humaines et savoir anthropologique
Authors: Dias Nélia
Published: December 2023

L’article examine le statut des moulages de
têtes humaines à la fois dans leurs rapports avec le savoir
anthropologique et au sein des dispositifs de mise en exposition.
Centré sur les collections anthropologiques en France dans la seconde
moitié du xixe siècle, le texte est divisé en trois
parties. La première s’attache à l’examen des préceptes
méthodologiques présidant à la pratique des moulages sur le vivant. À
partir de l’analyse d’un corpus d’instructions méthodologiques
destinées aux voyageurs, deux questions seront examinées dans la
deuxième partie du texte : d’une part, la priorité accordée aux
moulages et bustes faits sur « nature », de l’autre, les débats autour
de la coloration des moulages – in situ ou au laboratoire. La troisième et
dernière partie est consacrée à la circulation des moulages aussi bien
dans les musées que dans des ouvrages anthropologiques.
Les savoirs des Boquet
Authors: Lanoë Catherine
Published: December 2023

Entre la fin du xviie siècle et les années 1770, la famille
Boquet a occupé une place très importante dans le marché parisien de
l’éventail, depuis l’exercice de la tabletterie pour la fabrique des
bois, jusqu’au négoce national et international des produits finis. La
reconstitution de la généalogie et l’exploitation des actes de la
pratique de différents représentants de la dynastie, adossées à la
notion de « milieu technique » développée par André Leroi-Gourhan,
permettent tout à la fois de montrer que les éventails peuvent prendre
place dans une histoire anthropologique de la parure et de dresser un
premier panorama de la culture opératoire, des savoirs techniques et
entrepreneuriaux que détiennent certains éventaillistes, entre
transpositions et adaptations des gestes du travail et organisation de
la sous-traitance. Celle de la peinture des feuilles, en particulier,
donne à voir un vaste univers de travailleurs presque invisibles,
peuplé de nombreuses femmes.
La mémoire en retour. Voyages au Viêt Nam des jeunes générations de la diaspora vietnamienne
Authors: Le Hoangan Julien
Published: December 2023

À partir d’une recherche doctorale auprès d’adultes nés en France, l’auteur analyse les différentes mobilités vers le pays d’origine de leurs parents ou ancêtres sous le prisme du travail de mémoire. Les études de cas présentés viennent ainsi compléter les travaux concernant le tourisme diasporique ou mémoriel des premières générations ou le tourisme des racines des suivantes pour proposer quatre modalités selon lesquelles l’expérience au Viêt Nam contribue à la démarche de construction de la mémoire familiale et collective. Celle-ci s’appuie en effet sur une enquête généalogique factuelle, sur une expérience sensible qui mobilise le corps dans l’espace, sur l’imagination comme capacité à se projeter dans une mémoire alternative ou contrefactuelle et enfin sur des pratiques symboliques qui se rapprochent de l’analyse du pèlerinage.
Urban livelihoods beyond industrial ruins : the birth of an informal night-time economy in Norton, Zimbabwe
Authors: Magidi Martin , Jimu Tawanda
Published: December 2023

This paper focuses on Norton town, Zimbabwe, which was left in ruins after its industry succumbed to deindustrialisation as key industries closed. With rising unemployment and urban poverty, residents innovated and devised alternative livelihood strategies. This study explores several informal and innovative night-time economic activities : night vending, home-based industries, informal fishing, sand and quarry mining, transport, and the night-time leisure economy, among others that residents in Norton adopted. It unpacks the organisation of these activities and the logics behind going nocturnal. For their courage and ability to re-invent their livelihoods, we present the residents using the lens of Long’s Actor-oriented theory by framing them as social actors and agents of change working hard to find solutions to their challenges. Data was collected using ethnographic methods of interviews, night-time observations, and informal conversations. Our results show that Norton became a nocturnal hub of informal entrepreneurial innovation and creativity. This was a result of governance factors, due to daytime load-shedding (energy cuts), night-time leisure activities and as a way of working hard to survive in a difficult economic environment.
Nocturnal urban imaginaries : the rise and fall of Turin as a 24-hour party city
Authors: Bottà Giacomo , Petrilli Enrico
Published: December 2023

Nocturnal urban imaginaries are a powerful instrument to examine how the night has been planned, experienced, and thought of in post-industrial urban settings. Through these imaginaries, we tackle Turin’s shift from one company town to post-industrial city and its implication for the night and its activities. Thanks to a qualitative analysis of interviews with a data-driven modality we make sense of the way night punters approach going out. We identify three imaginaries that we call ‘confetti’, ‘24-hour party’ and ‘Notti Bianche’, looking beyond the bidimensional and romanticised mystery of the night. Moreover, we examine how these imaginaries perform at the level of local governance and policing ; nightlife on offer (type of venues/events and their spatialisation) ; and the experiences (practices and affect) of night punters.We argue that domesticating, regulating, and overseeing nightlife has a detrimental and constraining impact on the way people engage with and enjoy the night, curbing its potential to serve as a realm of joy, escapism, and excitement.

Lead-Bromide Hybrid Perovskites with Different Dimensions due to NH2 Position Variation Pyridine Ligand Methylene Bridge-CH2
Authors: Ramli Azliana , Wan Ismail Wan Izhan Nawawi , Sepeai Suhaila , Yami Nur Fatin Najihah Abdul , Marwan Bin Ali Abdul Malik
Published: December 2023

The hybrid perovskites of amino(methyl) pyridines (AMP) and lead (II) bromide (PbBr2) were synthesised using a reflux method in 40% hydrobromic acid medium in a closed-nitrogen condition. The structural, chemical and optical properties of the as-synthesised compounds were analysed analytically using XRD, FT-IR and UV-Vis. Based on the XRD analysis, all compounds have distinct and evenly spaced diffraction peaks, indicating that they are strongly oriented and well-crystallised. The presence of aromatics and primary amines in mono-substituted pyridinium cation variations was confirmed by the FT-IR analysis. All compounds absorbed strongly in visible spectra at 430 nm, 427 nm and 355 nm, respectively. This study demonstrates that organic-tailoring effects in the shifting of aminomethyl position in the pyridine chain contribute to different dimensionalities of hybrid perovskite frameworks, even when synthesised under the same conditions. The as-synthesised low-dimensional hybrid perovskite can be further utilised as a light-harvester material in Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs).

Optimization of Magneto-Electric Coupling in PVDF/PVDF-TrFE/Fe3O4 Thin Film Nanocomposites for MEMS Sensor Devices
Authors: Harry Richard I. , Zainnudin Shaik , Jeelani Shaik
Published: December 2023

Magnetoelectric materials which simultaneously exhibit ferroelectricity and magnetism have attracted great attention in recent years due to their potent coupling effect, and potential application in the electronics industry. The work done in this study aims to investigate the effect of ferromagnetic (Fe3O4) nanoparticles on the thermal, mechanical, magnetic, and ferro-electrical properties of PVDF, and its co-polymer poly (vinlydene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene), P (VDF-TrFE). These compounds are synthesized into flexible nanocomposite thin films, via a novel solvent casting method to influence crystallization and nucleation growth. Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NP) were integrated with polymers at varying weight percentages (1wt%, 3wt%, 5wt%, 7wt%, and 10wt %). Magnetoelectric nanocomposites were annealed at 150oC. Films were fabricated and processed at dimensions: 8-20μm thickness, 35 mm length, and 35 mm width. Neat and loaded samples are characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) to observe crystallinity and to obtain β - phase content distribution. Ferroelectric hysteresis loops are given from Radiant Multiferroic Analyzer, which resulted in an increase in peak polarization of 9.601μC/cm2 with the addition of 5wt% magnetite nanoparticles to P(VDF-TrFE) polymer blend. Magnetic tests are done using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), which yields the magnetic polarization with respect to changes in field magnitude. The highest magnetic moment occurs with the addition of 10wt% Fe3O4 nanoparticles at 3.66 emu/g. Target applications of nanocomposites are for microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices such as memory cards, spintronic, sensors, electromagnetic shielding, and compact energy storage.
Genetic perspectives on childhood monogenic diabetes: Diagnosis, management, and future directions
Authors: Sun Hong-Yan , Lin Xiao-Yan
Published: December 2023

Monogenic diabetes is caused by one or even more genetic variations, which may be uncommon yet have a significant influence and cause diabetes at an early age. Monogenic diabetes affects 1 to 5% of children, and early detection and gene-tically focused treatment of neonatal diabetes and maturity-onset diabetes of the young can significantly improve long-term health and well-being. The etiology of monogenic diabetes in childhood is primarily attributed to genetic variations affecting the regulatory genes responsible for beta-cell activity. In rare instances, mutations leading to severe insulin resistance can also result in the development of diabetes. Individuals diagnosed with specific types of monogenic diabetes, which are commonly found, can transition from insulin therapy to sulfonylureas, provided they maintain consistent regulation of their blood glucose levels. Scientists have successfully devised materials and methodologies to distinguish individuals with type 1 or 2 diabetes from those more prone to monogenic diabetes. Genetic screening with appropriate findings and interpretations is essential to establish a prognosis and to guide the choice of therapies and management of these interrelated ailments. This review aims to design a comprehensive literature summarizing genetic insights into monogenetic diabetes in children and adolescents as well as summarizing their diagnosis and mana-gement.

The risks of a form-based approach to exclusionary abuses of dominance – an economic perspective
Authors: Ward William , Minichiello Joe
Published: December 2023

The European Commission has initiated the process of changing how exclusionary abuses of dominance are evaluated, moving towards a more ‘form-based’ approach compared to the current ‘effects-based’ approach. This article explains that, if not implemented correctly, its planned approach risks worsening consumer outcomes. This article outlines the Commission’s existing approach to taking enforcement action against exclusionary abuses, and the two actions taken by the Commission to develop this approach. Then, it explores three cases where the false positives that arise from a form-based approach, rather than an effects-based approach, risk worsening outcomes for consumers. It suggests that, while an effects-based approach has its limitations, the Commission should ensure that it does not err too far into adopting a completely form-based approach as it develops updated rules on exclusionary abuses.

Importunação sexual (§ 184i StGB) e delitos praticados por grupos (§ 184j StGB)
Authors: Mitsch Wolfgang
Published: December 2023

Ill-written laws damage the reputation of the law and of the rule of law. They discredit the legislature and force the practitioners of the law to make decisions based on laws that, because they are so poorly written, are not met with respect. To accuse addressees of such laws, who transgress them, of a lack of adherence to the norm and disobedience to the law is only possible with a bad conscience. Sections 184i and 184j of the German Criminal Code (StGB) are two showpieces of recent legislative work which, as they are, should not to have seen the light of day. In the following, the list of defects which can already be found in commentaries on the StGB and other publications is extended by several points.

INVESTIGATING ENERGY ABSORPTION CAPABILITY OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED CUBOCTAHEDRAL LATTICE STRUCTURES VIA TAGUCHI’S METHOD: EFFECTS OF PROCESS PARAMETERS
Authors: PAYGOZAR Bahman , GÖRGÜLÜARSLAN Recep Muhammet
Published: December 2023

This research aims to investigate the influence of process parameters of fused filament deposition additive manufacturing technique on the energy absorption capacity of cuboctahedral lattice structures using Taguchi’s method. Four process parameters (i.e., print temperature, print speed, layer thickness, and line width) were considered with three levels of parameter values for each, which resulted in nine combinations in Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. The lattice structure was fabricated with each of nine combinations of process parameters and tested under a compression load to obtain the energy absorption experimentally. Signal-to-noise ratio analysis was conducted for the results obtained from the experiments of the nine Taguchi sets. Two more lattice specimens were fabricated with the parameter values which resulted in the best and worst energy absorption results and tested. The optimum values of the print temperature, print speed, layer thickness, and line width were determined to be 225 ºC, 30 mm/s, 0.12 mm, and 0.35 mm, respectively. The specific energy absorption (SEA) of the lattice specimen fabricated by using the optimum process parameter values presented 9.4% improvement compared to the highest SEA obtained from the lattices in the Taguchi’s L9 array.

In 2022, privileged producers from renewable energy sources in Serbia faced the economic challenge of quiting the so-called feed-in tariffs for selling on the free electricity market. This scenario came about because of the enormous increase in electricity prices in Europe. Quiting feed-in tariffs and participating in the free market brought with it certain novelties. The planning of the production if the power plants connected to the distribution network, and that in an hourly resolution in the morning for the whole following day, suddenly gained importance, primarily because of the imbalance costs that all power plants that sell their production on the free market have to pay. Since such small power plants did not previously have this obligation, this challenge becomes greater. The main problem is that the vast majority of these power plants do not have historical production data in an hourly resolution, nor do they have installed adequate metering equipment or remote reading of the data required for good planning. However, planning is not the topic of this paper, but its consequences, which is the so-called imbalance (deviation of realized production from planned). Two different calculation approaches, colloquially called the "realization" and the "planning" method, can be used for the financial calculation of the resulting imbalance. Both will be shown and described in detail in this paper, with their comparison and commentary on the comparative results on practical examples. At the very end, conclusions will be drawn for further improvement of the existing practice with the aim of facilitating the understanding of this issue both for existing and new owners of the power plants.

In the period of the global energy crisis, just before the winter period of 2022/2023. year, the Government of the Republic of Serbia adopted a Conclusion, which recommended the Public Company "Elektroprivreda Srbije" Belgrade to calculate a discount for customers from the "household" category for the rational consumption of electricity. In this way, all households in the Republic of Serbia were motivated to reduce electricity consumption, which the vast majority did. This paper describes in detail the criteria for calculating discounts for rational consumption of electricity for customers from the "household" category, the number of households and the amount of electricity they have reduced. Also, the financial benefits achieved both for customers from the "household" category and for the Public Enterprise "Elektroprivreda Srbije" Belgrade are described. The aim of the work is to support households to reduce electricity consumption in the Republic of Serbia, during the period of the global energy crisis.

In the period between the two world wars, Radio Belgrade was technically and program- -wise one of the most respectable media in Europe. In the first decades of its development and activity, it was also a cultural institution of sorts. Namely, the conception of the music program is also recognized in the context of a wider musical and pedagogical activity of this mass media. The practice of lecturing on topics from the field of music on the Radio Belgrade program, whether it was direct broadcasts or specialized broadcasts, was continuously nur- tured, developed and improved. The aim of this paper is to show that the editorial policy of Radio Belgrade was systematically working on developing aesthetics and raising the artistic criteria of the audience, which highlighted the cultural and educational role of the radio. Although it was institutionally impossible to teach music through the radio, since the radio was interpreted as an auxiliary educational tool of the auditorium, and the ultimate goal was to educate and entertain listeners by means of the very program and musical content, as well as music teachers whose students gained additional knowledge about music by listening to the radio. Using the historical method, as well as the technique of analyzing the content of avail- able historical and pedagogical sources and documents, between the two world wars, Radio Belgrade was seen and shown as a valuable factor in the cultural development of the audience, and in the additional raising of the professional competences of established artists in terms of upgrading knowledge in the context of the musical repertoire, and fostering and developing critical musical thinking.

The paper presents a proposal for defining the concept of music criticism and types of critical texts. The historical development of music criticism, its problems, methods, goals and main representatives are presented. The history of music criticism is ideologically connected with music, and primarily appeared in occasional publications. Criticism of musicians began continuously in the middle of the 18th century, when the first open discussions on various issues of music appeared. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Mattheson and Charles Burney stand out among the first music critics. The last years of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century were marked by change, and now the main patron of music, and therefore of criticism, became the middle class and not the previous aristocracy. It is important to apostrophize the fact that criticism of the 18th century was predominantly focused on vocal music, while instrumental music had a subordinate place. Vocal music, according to the aesthetic concepts of the time, represented the pinnacle of musical expression, and criticism had the task of continuously and tirelessly promoting it. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the situation changed, and instrumental music gained a prominent place in criticism.

The motion of electrons in the cylindrical magnetic field of the magnetron gun with a gradient-type potential is considered. The formation of a beam with an energy of 55 keV in such the magnetic field has been studied. It is found that in the selected field, the initial motion of electrons along the longitudinal axis is converted into radial
motion. It is determined that such the transformation is due to the influence of the solenoidal magnetic field with large longitudinal gradient. The transformation of the longitudinal direction of motion into the transverse one is stable in the energy range of 20...55 keV of electrons and in the range of 5...55 mm of radial dimensions of the particle beam. The modes of operation of the gun, in which the particle undergoes a stable transformation of the direction of motion, are studied numerically. It is shown that for the given electron energy and the fixed magnetic field, the parameter that determines the rotation of particles is the magnetic field gradient at the boundary of the entry region. It is found that the rotation effect takes place for the range of radial beam sizes, which leads to particle focusing. The possibility is shown to control the vertical coordinate of a focused beam on the basis of field adjustment as the whole. Based on the model of electron flow motion, the characteristics of the resulting electron beam are considered. It is shown that the beam, having radial dimensions of 5...55 mm, is focused vertically on the section of 1 mm.

Fikri Mülkiyet Hukuku temel olarak marka, telif hakkı, tasarım, patent ve coğrafi işaret sütunları üzerine inşa edilmiştir. Ancak zamanla gelişen teknik ilerleme ve çeşitlilik karşısında hukuki çözüm bekleyen birçok gri alan ve arayüz alanı ortaya çıkmıştır. Başlangıçta daha basit ve daha spesifik bir alanla sınırlı ve pek çok meseleye dair öngörü ihtiva etmeyen normların, başlangıçta dikkate alınmayan alanlara uygulanabilmesi giderek daha önemli hale gelmektedir. Gerçekten de fikri hakların başlangıçta belirlenmiş sınırlarını aşma eğiliminde olması, gelişen hayat olayları ve teknik gelişmeler ile tartışmalı alanlara dair bu kapsamda belirgin rejimlerin ortaya çıkmamış olması ve geleneksel kuralların hukuk uygulamasına konu olması meseleye dair temel zorluğu teşkil etmekle birlikte yaratımların çok yönlü olması da kümüalsyon ihtimallerini önemli ölçüde artırmaktadır. Gayri maddi unsurları konu edinmesi bakımından geleneksel mülkiyet rejimine yabancı esaslarda gelişmiş alanın içindeki kuralların yorumu ve boşlukların doldurulması pek çok zaman fikri mülkiyet politika ve teorileriyle de alaka kurmayı kaçınılmaz kılmaktadır. Böyle bir soruna bütüncül bir yaklaşımla yaklaşabilmek için, fikri mülkiyet haklarının yetersizliğinin, aşırı koruma olgusunun, fikri mülkiyet haklarına içkin menfaatlerin, rekabet olgusu ve hukuk uygulamasıyla ortaya konması gerekmektedir. Bir taraftan mevcut sütunlara sınırlar çizmek ve sütunların birbirleriyle ilişkilerinin aydınlatılması bakımından fikri hakların kümülasyonu meselesinin değerlendirilmesi gerekecektir.
ANONİM ŞİRKET İLE CEO ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN HUKUKİ NİTELİĞİ
Authors: ALKAÇ Sezin Ezgi
Published: December 2023

Şirketlerin, kurumsallaşıp küreselleşmesinin tercihten öte ihtiyaç halini aldığı ticaret dünyasında, şirket ortaklarının mevcut yatırımlarındaki kârını arttırmak ve yeni gireceği işkollarındaki deneyim eksikliklerini gidermek amacıyla yönetimi, profesyonel yöneticilere bırakmak bir zorunluluktur. Anonim şirketler hukuku uygulamasında sıkça kullanılan bir unvan ve mevkii olan CEO kavramının, ülkemiz mevzuatında bir tanımı verilmiş veya bu kavrama ait sorumluluklar belirlenmiş değildir. Bu itibarla konumu, görev, yetki ve sınırları daha çok şirket sözleşmesi ile çizilmiş bir mevkii olmasına karşın, sözleşme hükümlerinin yetersiz kaldığı yahut sözleşmenin hiç olmadığı noktada CEO ile şirket arasındaki ilişkiye hangi hükümlerin uygulanacağı ve ilişkinin sona ermesinin sonuçlarının hangi sözleşmeye göre belirleneceği önem taşır. Eldeki çalışmada, CEO ile anonim şirket arasındaki hukuki ilişkinin niteliğine dair görüşlere yer verilerek, Yargıtay kararları da dikkate alınarak bu ilişkinin niteliği tespit edilecektir.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk Hukuku’na göre CEO ile anonim şirket arasındaki ilişkinin hukuki niteliğini belirlemektir.

Metodoloji : Eldeki araştırma, yazılı ve veri tabanlı kaynakların incelenmesiyle hazırlanmıştır.

Bulgular: Anonim şirketlerde yönetim kurulu üyesi olarak görev alan kişilerin, anonim şirket ile olan hukuki ilişkisine dair görüşler, CEO için de geçerli olup; aradaki ilişki hem borçlar hukukunu hem de ticaret hukukunu ilgilendiren yönleri olan çift yönlü bir ilişkidir.

Özgünlük: Çalışmanın özgün tarafı, üst düzey yönetici olan CEO ile anonim şirket arasındaki ilişkinin hukuki niteliğini belirlerken güncel yargı kararlarına ve doktrindeki farklı görüşlere yer verilmesidir.
