MODERNİST-TOPLUMCU TÜRK ŞİİRİ
Authors: Güngör Bilgin
Published: March 2019

Toplumcu-gerçekçiliğin
Türk edebiyatı özelindeki seyrinde üç aşamanın bulunduğunu dile getirebiliriz.
Bu aşamalardan ilki olan ve erken-toplumculuk
olarak adlandırdığımız aşama; Meşrutiyet’in son yılları ile Cumhuriyet’in ilk
yıllarında Abdülaziz Mecdî Tolun, Yaşar Nezihe Bükülmez gibi isimlerin, tematik
ve estetik açıdan dar bir bakış-açısına sahip propagandist şiirlerini içerir.
Nitekim bu aşamada toplumculuk için şiir dışında herhangi bir tür, “gözlem
ölçeği” sınırları içerisine girmez. İkinci aşama; Nâzım Hikmet tarafından
1920’lerin sonunda öncülük edilen ve Sabahattin Ali, Sadri Ertem, Hasan
İzzettin Dinamo, Rıfat Ilgaz gibi isimlerle şiir dışı türlere de taşınan
aşamadır. İleri-toplumculuk olarak
adlandırdığımız bu aşamada toplumcu-gerçekçilik, hem estetik hem tematik hem de
türsel açıdan sınırlarını genişletir. 1960’lardan sonra toplumcu-gerçekçiliğin
İsmet Özel, Ataol Behramoğlu, Ahmet Telli, Nihat Behram, Sevgi Soysal, Erdal Öz
gibi isimlerle daha ileri düzeyde modernist ve avantgarde imkânlar kazandığı
görülür¸ böylelikle yeni bir aşama idrak edilir. Modernist-toplumculuk olarak adlandırdığımız bu aşamada, bireysel
temalarla birlikte soyut imgeciliğe, dil deformasyonuna ve modern anlatı
tekniklerine bir açılım sergilendiği görülebilir. Bir başka ifadeyle; toplumcu
edebiyatın modernist / avantgarde edebiyatla olan imkânının izsürümü
yapılabilir. Çalışmamızda, modernist-toplumculuğun şiir özelindeki durumunu ele
alacağız; modernist-toplumcu şiirin tematik ve biçimsel açıdan öne çıkan
noktalarına örneklerle değineceğiz. Fakat bunu yaparken; “saf” betimleyici bir tutumdan
çok, yer yer toplumsal/ siyasal / estetik zemine dönük değinilere de kapı
aralayan bir bakış-açısından hareket edeceğiz.
ŞEHRE YANSIYAN MEDENİYET/EDEBİYATA YANSIYAN ŞEHİR (Yahya Kemal Beyatlı ve Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’ın Eserlerinde Şehir)
Authors: Biricik İbrahim
Published: March 2019

Şehir, insanla var
olan ve insanla varlığını sürdüren bir mekândır. Bu mekân, tarihi süreç içinde
insana olan bağımlılığından dolayı medeniyet üreten bir hüviyete dönüşür. Şehirleşme
ile medeniyet kavramlarının benzeşmesi, ikisinin de özünde insanı
barındırmasından kaynaklanır. İnsanlar arasında
duygusal yoğunluğa ve sanatsal algılamaya yatkın olan yazarlar, hem dış
dünyalarını hem de iç dünyalarını estetik duyuşlar ile tasarlar. Bu dış dünya
ise şehir olarak da karşılığını bulur. Türk edebiyatında tarih olgusunu, şehir
ile beraber ele alarak hem sanatsal duyuşla hem milli kimlik odağında hem de
süreklilik içinde algılayan yazarlar arasında Yahya Kemal Beyatlı ve Ahmet
Hamdi Tanpınar bulunmaktadır. Bu kitabın ana gövdesini de bu yazarlarımızın eserlerinde
şehir kavramının insan-tarih-medeniyet düzleminde nasıl algılandığı
oluşturmaktadır. Mehmet Güneş,
hocası M. Orhan Okay’a ithaf ettiği bu kitabında şehir olgusunu derinlikli
inceleyerek yerli ve yabancı düşünürlerin bakış açılarına yer verir. Daha sonra
ise şehir odağında kimlik, güzel sanatlar, peyzaj, mimari, musiki, değişim, eğlence,
kadın, kurumsal yapılar, görsel sanatlar, manevi önderler, tabiat ve insan konularını
ele alır. Bu ele alış, Yahya Kemal Beyatlı ve Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’ın eserleri
çerçevesinde olmaktadır. Şehir olgusu etrafında bu iki yazarımızın hayatına
tesir eden şehirleri Mehmet Güneş, derinlikli bir perspektifle yansıtmıştır. Bu
kitap, okur muhayyilesinde unutulmaya yüz tutan şehirlerimizin yazarlar eliyle
tekrardan sanatsal tasarım ve estetik duyuşla hatırlanmasını sağlamaktadır.

Published: March 2019

This paper aims to explain some auxiliary regulatory pillars and complementary considerations and systems in Rastin Banking. Rastin Banking is a full Islamic Banking System with all necessary parts for banking operations that can be installed in conventional and Islamic banks both. In this paper, we are going to explain the auxiliary preparations of this banking system.  Rastin Banking complies with the nature of financial intermediary activity (partnership of depositor in the yields of the fund receiver via the bank). In order to fulfil this goal despite particular formation, financial structure, instruments and workflow many other auxiliary considerations are defined to remove banking shortages in a legal framework. To handle Rastin Banking and to remove the common banking obstacles, a set of particular theoretical and operational regulatory frameworks should be defined to fulfil the participation operations. In this paper, we will have a look at the auxiliary legal environment to setup Rastin Banking. This system requires more elaborations for further practical development and adjustment. In this system, the investment return of the participation is distributed to the parties of financial partnership (depositor, entrepreneur and bank), and it is done by eliminating fixed interest rate.

In this work, the photocatalytic properties of amorphous and crystalline TiO2 deposited on oxide and polymer nanoparticles by atomic layer deposition (ALD) were studied. Beside TiO2, as reference, both ALD grown amorphous Al2O3 and crystalline ZnO layers were also examined. When choosing the carrier, the priority was that it had no effect on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2; therefore the oxide layers were deposited on SiO2 and poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles. The amorphous SiO2 particles were synthetized by the Stöber method, while the PMMA particles were prepared by emulsion polymerization. Both the bare and core/shell composite nanoparticles were investigated by SEM-EDX, TEM, FT-IR, and XRD. Finally, the photocatalytic activity of PMMA, SiO2 and the core/shell nanoparticles was measured by the decomposition of methylene orange, monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Based on the results, the SiO2 was uniformly coated with the deposited oxide films, while in the case of the PMMA a contiguous web-like polymer/TiO2 matrix was formed. During the photocatalytic reactions, the amorphous Al2O3 was not active, while the crystalline ZnO and TiO2 showed good photocatalytic activity. The amorphous TiO2 deposited by ALD on the SiO2 and PMMA nanoparticles had smaller, but a clearly detectable photocatalytic effect on the photodegradation of methylene orange.

This study aims at analyzing health behavior influencing health according to sex. It also aims at evaluating social and economic consequences of those behaviors. Shorter male lifespan comparing to woman may be related to more frequent risky behavior: smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol, drug abuse which lead to dysfunctions of circulatory and respiratory systems as well as cancer, disabilities and in consequence inability to work. The data presented suggest that man more often than women act in risky manners. According to collected data, woman more oft en than man seek specialist ambulatory treatment, medical rehabilitation and dental care. These data may suggest that woman more oft en try to prevent illness than wait until full treatment is necessary. This may be the reason why older woman (65 years old+) less often need expensive hospital treatment.

At the turn of century the paradigm of economic development has been changing. Despite the economic instability in the world the process of globalization has not been stopped. The importance of growth factors included in the area of R&D (research and development) increased. These two aspects are also important in the analysis of the economic transition in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Factors from R&D area are now perceived as the key conditions for creating knowledge -based economy and for sustainable development. There should also be noted low potential of CEE countries to generate investments in modern sectors of economy based on R&D. In this context, there is increasing importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) as an indirect instrument for strengthening the modernization process of economic structures and providing the basis for sustainable development. In this paper the subject of analysis is the influx of FDI in Hungary and their impact on the economy of the country in the period 1989–2012. The paper also attempts to answer the question on relations between the level and characteristics of the inflow of FDI and structural changes and economic development in Hungary.
The influence of economic crisis on the international position of the euro
Authors: Zawiślińska Izabela
Published: March 2019

The international position of a currency is directly determined by the scale and manner of fulfilment of classic currency functions in the international context. Creation of the Economic and Monetary Union and the introduction of a new currency (euro) – even though the decision was strictly political – was well-received by entities of contemporary international economy, including its main participants and the players on the international currency market. The reason for such a reception was the potential of the economies in the euro area, and also structural conditions and expectations for creation of an international currency that was to be a real alternative to the US dollar. The possibility of diversification in the investment and reserve spheres as well as in reference, intervention, transfer and invoicing spheres was considered as a step in the right direction to limiting the domination of the US dollar on the market. Notwithstanding the increasing problems in euro area in the fiscal sphere and the real economy, particularly with the job market, one may agree that the latest economic crisis did not change the bipolar character of the international monetary system still based on the US dollar and the euro. However, it needs to be stressed that the euro remains rather a regional than a global currency.

O problemie skuteczności polityki fiskalnej i pieniężnej
Authors: Krawczyk Marcin
Published: March 2019

The article reviews theoretical analyses of effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies. The first part concentrates on classical and new classical arguments on ineffectiveness of fiscal and monetary stimulus, i.e. proving that the stimulus does not influence real economic aggregates. These arguments include laissez-fairedoctrine and rational expectations, aggregate supply, and continuous market clearing hypotheses. The second part contains detailed description of adjustment processes brought about by fiscal and monetary expansions considered by contemporary theorists (e.g. D. Elmendorf and G. N. Mankiw) as “conventional macroeconomics”. These processes serve as theoretical argument in favor of a monetary accommodation of fiscal expansion. The third part forms a concise review of macroeconomic concepts which show that conventional adjustment process can be interrupted or even stopped during any of their phases (ricardian equivalencetheorem, Friedman's money illusion liquidity trap, investment insensitivity, Tobin's crowding out effect). In the final part, the author points out that monetary accommodation can weaken effectiveness of fiscal expansion.

Más allá de la connotación franquista. Una reflexión sobre la patrimonialización de las barriadas promovidas por el Instituto Nacional de la Vivienda
Authors: Navas-Carrillo Daniel
Published: March 2019

Esta contribución propone abordar el reconocimiento patrimonial de las barriadas residenciales de promoción publica construidas en España durante la dictadura franquista. Estos conjuntos surgen ante el déficit generalizado de vivienda -por el trasvase de población desde el campo a la ciudad- que caracteriza al conjunto e las ciudades europeas fundamentalmente durante el siglo XX. Es el momento de mayor crecimiento de las ciudades y, por tanto, el de mayor producción arquitectónica y urbanística de su historia urbana reciente. Sin embargo, se trata de bienes que en la mayoría de casos carecen de un reconocimiento patrimonial generalizado, tanto por parte de especialistas como de no especialistas. En consecuencia, no cuentan con niveles de protección comparables –en términos absolutos, ni proporcionales– a otras formas de vivienda, como el tejido residencial de los centros históricos o la propia arquitectura residencial unifamiliar moderna.
El patrimonio contemporáneo en la construcción de la memoria democrática. La arquitectura que pervivió a los cambios de régimen del siglo XX
Authors: Rodríguez-Lora Juan-Andrés
Published: March 2019

La arquitectura construida durante el siglo XX suele encontrar un menor reconocimiento y protección jurídica que la de mayor recorrido histórico. A pesar de los avances realizados en el concepto de patrimonio y el recorrido ya realizado en favor de estos bienes culturales contemporáneos, es un hecho que se agudiza especialmente entre los inmuebles que responden a conceptos que emanan del Racionalismo y el Movimiento Moderno.Entre los factores que pueden presentarse como obstáculos a la hora de patrimonializar estos edificios se encuentra la vinculación con la etapa dictatorial de la historia reciente de España. Cuestión esta última que en ocasiones puede suponer un rechazo de la sociedad cuando de legar a generaciones futuras estas arquitecturas se trata.En la presente contribución se relega a un segundo plano la reflexión en torno a la simbología que solía colocar el régimen franquista en los edificios -por ser un tema abordado ampliamente en la Ley de Memoria Histórica y Democrática de Andalucía- para centrarse en el proceso de patrimonialización de los edificios construidos y promovidos durante o por el mencionado régimen.Es por ello, que se avanza sobre claves que pudieran ser incorporadas a este proceso. La construcción de una memoria democrática objetiva en torno a estos bienes necesitaría de una reflexión que derribara falsos mitos de logros que realmente nacen en décadas anteriores, además de basar el reconocimiento y protección del patrimonio contemporáneo en valores que trascienden más allá de la etapa en que se construyeron.

Authors: Sudradjat Adjat
Published: March 2019

As one of the educational institutions, Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) must be able to perform the data processing of students' grades well, because it will be used as one of the clear and valid benchmarks to determine student achievement level as learners. The conventional processing system of students' grades require a lot of time and effort for teachers and administrative staff to write down the marks in legs and report books, as well as to recapitulate student grades at the end of the semester. The manual processing of students' grades is also vulnerable to errors that come from inaccuracy in the process, thus affecting the accuracy of data and reduce the level of validity of information generated. The research discusses about the development of computerized academic information system in Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) with the aim to provide convenience in processing the data and accelerate the making of reports of achievement of learning. The scope of discussion is to focus on the management of student personal data, student's grades data, student mutation data, to the results of learning achievements through desktop applications using waterfall as the model of development system. With a reliable level of data accuracy, parents can obtain valid reports on student achievement, and SDIT stakeholders can receive strategic information for learning evaluation materials and determine future policy in school teaching and learning activities.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease caused by the group of Mycobacterium bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There are six countries with the highest number of TB incidents in the world, including Indonesia with a prevalence of 1,020 per 100,000 inhabitants located second after India. Based on the results of monitoring and evaluation of Tuberculosis External Monitoring Mission Team in 2008, the success of treatment is still low. Many factors that influence the success of tuberculosis treatment one of them is the level of knowledge. This study aims to see and prove whether there is a relationship of knowledge level to the success of treatment in patients with tuberculosis and done cross-sectional. The result of the research shows that there are 45 respondents (80,4%) and the knowledge level of the respondent has good knowledge, 22 people (39,3%) from 56 samples. From the results of statistical tests using Chi-Square test obtained P value> 0.05 is 0.069.
The Invention of the Crofting Community: Scottish History's Elision of Indigenous Identity, Ideology and Agency in Accounts of Land Struggle in the Modern Gàidhealtachd
Authors: MacKinnon Iain
Published: March 2019

This article examines and contests Scottish historiography's current assessment of the identity and concomitant ideology that formed a basis and motivation for collective political action taken by the indigenous population of the west Highlands and Islands during the second half of the nineteenth century in response to their territorial marginalisation and expulsion in the late modern period.

Over the last forty years historians and historical geographers of the modern Highlands and Islands have accepted and developed James Hunter's argument that in the second half of the nineteenth century a ‘crofting class’ emerged in the area which, based on an underlying feeling of being in ‘community’ as crofters, understood its identity in class-based terms. Furthermore, this historiography takes the view that the members of this community, recognising themselves collectively as crofters, began to engage in acts of resistance to the law on the basis of their shared experience and identity as ‘the crofting community’. This article demonstrates that there is almost no basis in the historical record to sustain claims that the fact of being crofters was ideologically significant in motivating those involved in the land risings. It concludes that, rather than being a class-based ‘crofter’ insurgency, the land risings of the late nineteenth century were the rising of a people in an insurgency whose ideological framework should properly be described in ethnic or in national terms.
Evolution of close binary stars: theory and observations
Authors: Tutukov A V , Cherepashchuk A M
Published: March 2019

We review modern concepts in the physics and evolution of close binary stars. The review is based, on the one hand, on numerical simulations of the evolution of their components and the processes that accompany that evolution and, on the other hand, on the entire set of observational information in all ranges of electromagnetic and gravitation-wave radiation. These concepts underlie modern astrophysics, the most extensive laboratory wherein the properties of matter in the Universe and the Universe itself are explored. We present the modern picture of the evolution of close binary stars, constructing which has been driving progress in the physics and evolution of astronomical objects for the last 50 years.
Using Smart Glasses for Facial Recognition
Authors: Mayorga Gabriella , Do Xuan , Heydari Vahid
Published: March 2019

Facial recognition is one of the most promising applications of smart glasses and can help many organizations become more efficient. For example, police traditionally identify criminals by manually going through pictures in a database which makes face matching a slow process. However, with the combination of facial recognition software, smart glasses, and databases, the police can quickly scan through multiple databases of faces to find a match. The police would also be able to spot criminals in crowds, identify unknown victims at crime scenes, retrieve background information on individuals, and verify if someone is a missing person. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) can also use this combination to identify potential terror suspects or verify the identity of travelers. Lastly, academia can benefit from these tools by being able to identify individuals at events (e.g. conferences) and display relevant information about them. The goal of this project is to write an Android program that takes a photo via Google Glass, compares it with a predefined sample database held within the smartphone, and outputs information based on its analysis. The results are displayed with an accuracy acceptance level to the user both on their Android smartphone and on their Google Glass.
Examining Collection Biases Across Different Taxonomic Groups: Understanding How Biases Can Compare Across Herbarium Datasets
Authors: Williams Jordan , Pearson Katelin
Published: March 2019

Specimen-based data are an invaluable resource for an increasing diversity of scientific fields, including global change biology, ecology, evolution, and genetics; however, certain analyses of these data may be limited by the non-random nature of collecting activity. Geographic, temporal, and trait-based collecting biases may consequently affect the understanding of species’ distributions, obviating the need to determine what biases exist and how they may impact further analyses. Trait-based biases were examined in herbarium specimen records of two abundant and diverse families (Asteraceae and Fabaceae) in a well-collected and digitized region (California) by comparing geographic-bias-adjusted simulations of random collections to actual collecting patterns. Collecting biases were fairly similar between families for a number of traits, such as a strong bias against collecting introduced species, while seasonal collecting biases showed a peak in activity in the Spring for both families. However, while there was only a dip in the fall for Asteraceae, Fabaceae were seriously under-collected for the majority of the year. These results demonstrate that significant collecting biases exist and may differ depending on the dataset, highlighting the importance of understanding the dataset and potentially accounting for its sampling limitations.

This study analyses the social impact of obesity, focusing on the direct costs and, in particular,on the health-care expenditure. Using different socio-demographic variables and through theuse of Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Partial Least Squares Regression, the analysis: i)confirms the increase of the incidence of overweight and obesity when moving from Northernto Southern Italy; ii) identifies the main variables related to the growth of obesity; iii) highlightsa positive relationship between BMI and health-care costs and an incidence of 6% on theregional health-care costs. These findings confirm the need to define suitable guidelines fordecision makers and practitioners and to introduce mandatory regulations forcing companiesto effectuate product reformulation and achieve food safety. Indeed, asymmetric informationand consumer behaviour make investing in product reformulation undesirable for companiesbecause the use of attractive brands is more effective in influencing the purchasing decisionseven of a conscious consumer. Uninformed consumers often cling to the national brands,which sometimes, behind an image of familiarity and identity, may hide harmful ingredients(hydrogenated fats) or excessive quantities of certain ingredients (sugar, salt, saturatedfat) responsible for an unbalanced diet. Therefore, this justifies the introduction of bindingregulations.Keywords: Consumer Behaviour; Obesity; Social Costs; Health-Care Expenditure; MultivariateModel.
Yield Performance and Adoption of Released Sorghum Varieties in Ethiopia
Authors: Kinfe Hailegebrial , Tesfaye Adane
Published: March 2019

Sorghum national average productivity in Ethiopia is 2.1 tons/ha which is far below the global average of 3.2 tons/ha due to the problem of drought, striga, insect pest (stalk borer, midge, and shoot fly),diseases (anthracnose and smut), soil fertility decline, inadequate adoption of existing improved varieties, lack of high yielding and good quality sorghum varieties. The Ethiopian government is pursuing a strategy of improving Sorghum productivity primarily through agricultural intensification, involving an increased use of inputs, including seeds of improved crop varieties and involved sorghum plant breeding since 1976 with different objectives and released many improved sorghum varities. However the yield performance, adoption intensity and adoption rate of the released sorghum varieties at regional and national level were not well studied. So this research intiated with the following objectives: • To summarize the trend of sorghum production and productivity in Ethiopia. • To asses performance of improved sorghum varieties yield and their level of adoption. • To evaluate factors that determines adoption of improved sorghum in Ethiopia. The assessment was also done using secondary data from different sources. So, as a conclusion to increase the adoption rate and intensity of the released sorghum varieties across their suitable agro ecology and based on the objective of the target improved sorghum varities at the time of variety registration, agricultural extension should be strength and linkage between the department of integrated crop improvement with socio economics and agricultural extension should be improved. With this at variety development farmers better to participate and include their selection criteria, interest, problem and increase adoption of the improved sorghum varieties. Socio economic, demographic and institutional factors also played negative impact on slow adoption of the improved sorghum varieties.
Proven Strategies for Engagement, Effective Change and Enduring Risk Reduction with Offenders
Authors: Lah Asad Ul , Saradjian Jacqui
Published: March 2019

Research indicates that at least 70% of offenders reach criteria for personality disorder other than antisocial and, due to the closure of mental health hospitals world-wide; there are an increasing number of offenders with mental illness located in prisons. To fully assess and reduce the risk an offender poses and to try to remediate that risk, the underlying drives to offend must be understood and addressed. To do this an offender must be genuinely engaged. It is suggested that this is in part due to having poor attachment histories and no internal model of a healthy attachment. This paper is written by a consultant clinical and forensic psychologist with a long standing proven record of establishing and running services for and working therapeutically with men with mental health issues with outstanding results in risk reduction alongside and by an expert by experience who has in-depth personal insights into the both the processes needed for effective engagement and change. It describes useable strategies as to how to successfully engage offenders and how to develop a healthy and reparative therapeutic relationship. It describes the importance of a collaborative clinical formulation to aid the development of a coherent narrative and of an emotionally present and engaged therapist. The need to work on both victim and offender issues to bring about real change and risk reduction is elucidated throughout.
