Authors: Calil Thiago Godoi , Marino Aluizio
Published: September 2024

Abstract The article presents a recent analysis of Cracolândia between 2017 and 2023, when the policy of dispersing homeless people in the territory was resumed through violent operations conducted by public security agents. After providing a brief history of the most recent police operation, which was called Operação Caronte (Charon Operation), the dispersion of people and the spread of flows are discussed as a strategy to create chaos and enable political commodities, practices, and negotiations on the border between legal and illegal. The study used the following methodologies: field research, critical cartography, consultation with the media, and experiments, aiming to produce knowledge jointly with collectives and civil society organizations operating in the territory.
Mortimer Taube and his legacy: between technical and scientific production
Authors: Vieira Keitty , Karpinski Cezar
Published: September 2024

Abstract This article deals with the life and work of Mortimer Taube, an American philosopher and librarian who contributed to the organization and representation of information and knowledge, and to the retrieval of information. Even if Taube does not identify yourself as a librarian, philosopher, documentalist or information scientist, your technical and scientific production brings him closer to the notion of Information that is currently studied by Information Science, Therefore, this article aims to study his work from this perspective. This is because Taube was the creator of the Uniterm System, a pioneer in post-coordinated indexing. He was the founder of Documentation Incorporated, a company that provided information services to renowned institutions such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the United States Air Force. It was a qualitative, exploratory, bibliography and documentation study, without chronological limit, and the sources used were: Association for Information Science and Technology; Columbia University; Duke University; Library of Congress; Journal Storage; NASA’s Library; University of Chicago Press Journal, and Library Quarterly. Were analyzed 52 documents, the oldest publication dates from 1936 and, the most current, from 1965. It is concluded that Taube’s legacy was the contribution in the area of indexing and information retrieval, as well as his critical position on librarianship and information science. In general, the philosophical influence of Taube’s education was reflected in his bibliographic production, spread among the formulation of concepts, theoretical foundations, and perspectives disseminated by the author.

Published: September 2024

RESUMO Em meio a pautas sustentáveis, as fontes de energia renováveis apresentam um forte papel, em especial, a energia eólica. No entanto, a implantação dos empreendimentos eólicos produz transformações nas comunidades, causando impactos em diferentes áreas e processos de vulnerabilização. O estudo objetiva problematizar os relatos da população camponesa referentes aos processos de vulnerabilização em área de influência da implantação dos empreendimentos eólicos em um município pernambucano. Trata-se de uma pesquisa observacional, descritiva de abordagem qualitativa, realizada em uma comunidade camponesa localizada no município de Caetés, Pernambuco, Brasil. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante entrevista semiestruturada. A análise de dados partiu da técnica de análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática. Observou-se que a chegada e o funcionamento dos aerogeradores coincidiram com o surgimento de sinais e sintomas, como os problemas auditivos e de pele, ansiedade, tontura e cefaleia. Tal situação permite considerar uma provável ligação entre os impactos causados pelas torres eólicas, já descritos na literatura, com aqueles presentes nos relatos dos participantes. É necessário prudência no momento de planejamento e construção de complexos eólicos, uma vez que tais agravos à saúde podem se comportar como temporários ou permanentes, levando a comunidade local a um sofrimento constante.
Promotion of healthy territories: Technical advice on social housing in Sector 1 of Colônia Juliano Moreira
Authors: Domingues Luís Carlos Soares Madeira , Silva Gilson Antunes da , Ravera Celia Beatriz
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT The article proposes to contribute to reflection on health promoting principles and strategies in vulnerable territories, aiming at the specific objective to evaluate the role that can be played by a local, permanent, and participatory policy and public service, developed through technical assistance with a focus on improving the housing space and the habitat that favors the most vulnerable population and promotes positive solutions in their quality of life. The work has its theoretical methodological foundation in the field of urban health, referenced from the critical perspective of the complexity of the health-disease phenomenon, more specifically when it relates the social and environmental vulnerability and the conditions of the built environment to collective health. The article uses as a reference the experience developed by FIOCRUZ Mata Atlântica, of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, and seeks to verify the identification of social determinants and processes of social determination of health as well as the appropriation of principles and strategies of action of this disciplinary field. The partial results of this ongoing experience have advances not only in the objective transformations of determining factors related to the built environment, but also in the social organization and intersectoral articulation in this context, as well as the construction of references for public policies.

Published: September 2024

RESUMO As Unidades de Conservação (UC) constituem domínios territoriais estratégicos para a gestão socioambiental na Amazônia. Neste estudo, questiona-se como os moradores e gestores de uma UC definem seus territórios de sustentabilidade para a Amazônia, especificamente, em atenção à saúde. Para isso, foi realizada pesquisa de campo em uma comunidade localizada na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Rio Negro. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizadas técnicas, como entrevistas, diário de campo e observação direta. Como resultados, destaca-se que grande parte das famílias possuía sustento baseado em uma unidade de produção familiar, cuja renda média mensal é abaixo de um salário mínimo, e gerada principalmente na agricultura e pesca. Dadas as condições de vida e saúde na reserva, gestores e moradores entrevistados problematizam os pressupostos sustentáveis que definem os atuais modelos de UC na região amazônica, visto que não apresentam ações estratégicas para o efetivo desenvolvimento humano e social de suas famílias. A noção de saúde na Amazônia está imbricada no controle coletivo sobre esses territórios, e se ela não é suficientemente ampla para compreendê-los, precisa ser reelaborada.

Brent Petrol Fiyatı ile Baltık Kirli Tanker ve Temiz Tanker Endeksi Arasındaki İlişkinin Araştırılması
Authors: Tarkun Savaş
Published: September 2024

Petrol fiyatları ile ulaştırma sektörü arasındaki ilişki ticaret hacmini önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Petrol, ulaştırma faaliyetlerinde doğrudan direkt ilk madde malzeme olarak kullanılabileceği gibi dolaylı olarak da kullanılabilmektedir. Bu özellikleri petrolün ulaştırma sektörü için çok önemli bir kaynak olduğunu göstermektedir. Dünya piyasalarında meydana gelen olaylar, örneğin kriz dönemleri, eğitimden ticarete, sanayiden sağlığa ilişkili olduğu piyasaları etkilediği gibi petrol talebini ve navlun fiyatlarını da etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada, Brent Petrol fiyatı ile Baltık Kirli Tanker Endeksi (BDTI) ve Baltık Temiz Tanker Endeksi (BCTI) arasındaki kısa ve uzun dönem ilişkisi araştırılmaktadır. Yöntem olarak Gecikmesi Dağıtılmış Otoregresif (ARDL) sınır testi ile Toda Yamamoto nedensellik testi ile incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, uzun dönemde BDTI, Brent Petrol fiyatını negatif yönde, BCTI ise pozitif yönde etkilemektedir. Aynı zamanda Brent Petrol fiyatı ile diğer iki endeks arasında nedensellik ilişkisi elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca, kısa vadeli şokların uzun vadeli sapmaları yaklaşık 15 ayda dengeleyebildiği bulunmuştur. Bu bulgular, özellikle denizyolu ile petrol ithalatı yapan ülkelerin navlun fiyatlarının da petrol fiyatları üzerindeki etkilerini dikkate almaları gerektiğini göstermiştir.
Field-portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer for chemical characterization of carbonate-bearing base metal tailings: case study from Namib Pb-Zn Mine, Namibia
Authors: Lohmeier S. , Gallhofer D. , Lottermoser B.G.
Published: September 2024

Reprocessing of historic gold tailings is a common activity in South Africa, while base metal tailings offer similar reprocessing potential. The historic base metal tailings of the Namib Pb-Zn mine (Erongo Region, Namibia) still contain valuable resources of Pb and Zn in carbonate-rich matter. Micro-analysis of primary ore minerals identifies some galena as argentiferous and sphalerite as the principal host of Cd. This study demonstrates that knowledge of primary ore mineralogy helps to reveal the hosts of valuable commodities (Ag, Cd) and that field-portable X-ray fluorescence tools allow precise and accurate determinations of major and minor elements like Zn and Cd in such carbonate-rich material. Although there are limitations to directly determine the contents of certain element (i.e., As, Sb, In), linear correlations allow prediction of the likely abundance of these elements. Providing that the inter-mineral and inter-element relations are understood and there is consistency in sampling and analytical methodology, portable X-ray fluorescence analysis is an effective method to evaluate the chemical characteristics of base metal tailings for a range of major and trace elements.
Models for analysing the economic impact of ore sorting, using ROC curves
Authors: Drumond A. , Rodrigues A.L. , Costa J.F.C.L. , Niquini F.G. , Lemos M.G.
Published: September 2024

The past decade has seen a renewed possibility of using machine learning algorithms to solve a large collection of problems in several fields. Data acquisition for mining operations has increased with the growth in sensor-based technologies, and therefore the amount of information available for mining applications has dramatically increased. Ore sorting equipment is available for separating ore from waste based on differences in physical properties detected by a real-time analyser. The separation efficiency depends on the contrast in these properties. In this study we investigate the application of machine learning models trained using data from the output of a dual-energy X-ray ore sorting apparatus at a gold mine. The particles were first hand-sorted into ore and gangue classes based on their mineralogical composition. Classification models were then used to help decide the balance between the number of true and false positives for ore in the concentrate, with a view to economic parameters, using their receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves. The results showed AUC (area under the ROC curve) scores of up to 0.85 for the classification models and a maximum reward condition Fpr/Tpr around 0.5/0.9 for a simplified economic model.
The Drunken Satyr from the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum
Authors: Risser Erik , Lapatin Kenneth , Melillo Luigia
Published: September 2024

Prior to the international loan exhibition Buried by Vesuvius: Treasures from the Villa dei Papiri at the Getty Villa in Los Angeles (26 June – 28 October 2019), the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (MANN) generously lent the ancient bronze statue of a Drunken Satyr for study, analysis, and conservation. Discovered in pieces in tunnels excavated through what has come to be recognized in the outer peristyle garden of the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum on July 10, 1754 and restored in 1759 at the Royal Foundry at Portici, the Drunken Satyr was praised as one of the most beautiful bronze statues to survive from antiquity. This paper provides an overview of its history and presents the results of recent study, analysis, and treatment that shed greater light on the techniques of the statue’s ancient manufacture and its alteration and state of preservation at the time of recovery. It also addresses the nature and extent of the post-antique restorations that can be identified and their ramifications on the statue’s appearance. These collective findings allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the Drunken Satyr.
Bronze figurines of Mercury-Thoth from Albania
Authors: Veseli Sabina
Published: September 2024

Along with other aspects of society, Illyrian religion was influenced by the Roman world during the first centuries AD. As a result, Mercury became the Roman god most represented in bronze figurines found within the modern territory of Albania. This paper will consider two bronze figurines of Mercury-Thoth which represents a god with both eastern and western attributes. The figurines are of a good quality and analogies can be found with numerous others throughout the Roman Empire.
Their presence in Albania can be explained not only by the eastern influence of the empire, but also with the transfer of people and ideas. Both figurines were found near main roads passing through Illyria during the Roman period, the Via Lissus-Naissus and Via Egnatia, which testify for the development of commerce, movement of people, ideas and systems.
The figurines also provide an insight into Illyrian religious life during the Roman period and illustrate their adoption of interpretatio romana and eastern gods.
Recycle, repair and reuse in Roman Napoca
Authors: Mustaţă Silvia , Cociș Sorin
Published: September 2024

The archaeological rescue excavations carried out between 1992 and 2001 and again in 2012 in Roman Napoca (Cluj-Napoca, Romania), on the site from Victor Deleu Street revealed important information regarding the life of the ancient town and its residential areas. One of the most interesting discoveries is represented by an assemblage of twelve metal objects: a statue, a statuette, three fragmentary metal vessels, four pieces belonging to lighting equipment (candlesticks and a lamp base), a pair of scissors fragmentarily preserved and two decorated bronze plates. They were identified on the floor of an annex belonging to a private residence, in a context which can be dated during the fourth–fifth decades of the 3rd century AD. The paper is a preliminary analysis of the assemblage. The objects are all high-quality imports and most of them present traces of repair or were recomposed from different parts coming from other objects. They attest the existence of a ‘antiquarian-restorer’ in Roman Napoca and reveal a clear concern for selecting, collecting, recycling, repairing and refunctioning good quality objects.
Nostalgie oder Statement?
Authors: Franken Norbert
Published: September 2024

On the basis of selected figural bronzes (components of furniture, lamps, and chandeliers), the author examines a phenomenon of late antique artistic creation that has largely been overlooked by previous research and has never been studied more closely. The focus is on bronzes that appear to pick up artistic models of Hellenistic times in a direct bridging of a period of more than 300 years. The present study also addresses the question of the motivation of Late Antique patrons and consumers. After weighing all arguments, it becomes apparent that we are obviously not dealing with fragmentary evidence of a continuous artistic tradition. Instead, the revival of Hellenistic motifs and image types that can be observed in the upscale house furnishings of the 4th and 5th centuries AD is likely to be interpreted not merely as an arbitrary expression of nostalgia or sentimentality, but as a thoroughly conscious political, i.e. purposefully programmatic, return to past glory days, which is why behind the bearers of this apparently very limited phenomenon of Late Antique artistic creation we can assume mainly the leading families of the time still adhering to the old faith.
New research on the Cleveland Apollo
Authors: Pevnick Seth , Snyder Colleen
Published: September 2024

This paper presents new technical details on the original manufacture and modern reconstruction of the Cleveland Apollo, a nearly life-size ancient bronze sculpture of the youthful god acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2004. Although previous studies had shown the sculpture to be an indirect lost-wax casting, few joins had been discussed in detail. Recent, more comprehensive radiographs, combined with extensive external and internal visual analysis, now permit a more thorough explanation of the assembly, from work on wax models through casting (in at least six sections), patching, and finishing, as well as post-manufacture damage. Together with radiography, analysis of numerous and varied modern restoration materials provides a fuller picture of the way the object was more recently re-assembled. A new digital 3D model of the sculpture, now available, will be essential for future study, interpretation, and display.
Lifelong Learning Center Trainers: What Are Their Perceived Curriculum Literacy and Digital Technology Usage Levels?
Authors: Erik Hazal Sedef , Yılmaz M. Betül
Published: September 2024

Education and training are crucial components of society's ever-changing nature, and having a strong understanding of curriculum literacy is necessary for trainers in adult education to successfully execute curriculum. Similarly, effective use and integration of digital technologies into educational settings is a necessary skill for trainers. These competencies are critical for K-12 and higher education educators, as well as for adult education trainers who guide the learning process in line with their assigned program. In this study, we have investigated the relationship between trainers' perceived competence in curricular literacy (CL) and their use of digital technologies in education (DTUE). This study employed a descriptive survey methodology to gather data from a total of 628 individuals. The average age of the participants was 41.7 years, and they were all employed at a lifelong learning institution in Türkiye. MANOVA and correlation analysis were executed. We examined whether there were any differences in the trainers' perceived CL and DTUE levels based on the specified variables. The results revealed a positive and weak correlation between trainers' perceived curriculum literacy levels and their use of digital technology. Also, the trainers without prior formal pedagogical training had significantly lower scores in CL and DTUE compared to the trainers who had either graduated from the Faculty of Education or earned a pedagogical formation certificate.

Published: September 2024

Recent advances in sequencing technologies have paved the way for personalized medicine and clinical genomics, providing unprecedented insights into the genetic basis of human health and disease. High-throughput sequencing is now recognized as an effective diagnostic tool for patients affected by rare diseases but the use of either Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) or Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) technologies has shown to be uninformative in many cases. On the contrary, the recent introduction of long-read technologies can resolve genomic regions inaccessible to short-read sequencing, but a reliable benchmark assessment is missing. Following a long and intense benchmarking activity, here we present our bioinformatic pipeline based on Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) long reads aimed at shading lights to the stages of alignment, SNVs, indels, and SV calling, and modified bases analysis.

Authors: Machado Alba Jorge
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Oral anticoagulants (OACs) used to treatnonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are frequently associated withcomplications, especially gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GH). Objective: To determine the use of resources and costs inthe in-hospital treatment of GH in a group of patients with NVAF from Colombia. Methods: This was a retrospective study of a cohort ofpatients who were diagnosed with NVAF and treated with an OAC (apixaban,rivaroxaban, dabigatran or warfarin) between 2018 and 2022 and who werehospitalized for GH. Information on diagnoses, GH location, administeredmedications, procedures, hospital stay, and health care costs was collected, adjustedto 2022. Results: In total, 59 patients from nine different citieswere identified, the mean age was 82.9 ± 12.6 years, and most were men (61.0%) whowere admitted to nine clinics for GH. High GH was the most frequentlyidentified form (78.0%). The most commonly used OACs were apixaban (44.1%),rivaroxaban (35.6%), warfarin (15.3%) and dabigatran (5.1%). The mean hospitalstay was 6.4 ± 5.9 days, and 18.3% of the patients were admitted to theintensive care unit. Patients also received medications that increase the riskof bleeding, such as acetylsalicylic acid (45.8%), the antiplatelet inhibitorP2Y12 (15.3%) and systemic glucocorticoids (23.7%). The average direct cost ofall hospital care was USD 872 ± 1315 per patient, which corresponds to 13% ofthe country's gross domestic product per capita. Conclusions: GH patients with NVAF generates a significantcost for the use of resources such as medications, procedures and care thataffect the country's health system.

Published: September 2024

The judicialization of health in Brazil, through legal actions to guarantee access to medicines and health services, complicates health policies and serves different interests. Accurately accounting for these actions is challenging, highlighting divergences between data sources. Analysis of data from Minas Gerais reveals significant numbers, but highlights challenges in classifying and standardizing information. Research showed that, with data mining techniques and standardization of the definition of health processes, it is possible to move in this direction. Tools like JUDJe promise to improve understanding of the judicialization of health, facing technological, privacy and security challenges. It is concluded that there is a need to widely incorporate these tools and standardize matters, to benefit the management of the health sector throughout Brazil.

Nuancing Maritime Security Governance in The Straits of Malacca: A Comparative Analysis on Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore
Authors: Permal Sumathy , Moorthy Ravichandran
Published: September 2024

Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore are littoral states of the Straits of Malacca (SOM), the world’s busiest waterway connecting the Indian and Pacific oceans, with around 80,000 ships passing through this route annually. While maritime security governance of this waterway is a serious concern especially to those states, their responses to it has differed particularly in regard to three security mechanisms: the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), the Malacca Straits Patrol (MSP), and the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP). The states’ approaches can be viewed primarily through the lens of sovereign interests, economic interests, and legal obligations. In addition, the role of institutions appears as an intervening factor influencing their responses. This article first analyses maritime security governance and examines why it has garnered much attention in contemporary international relations. Second, it assesses the importance of the SOM as a strategic location, a critical trading route since ancient times, as well as the value it holds for international shipping. Third, it examines the littoral states’ responses to maritime security governance, focusing on the factors influencing them. The article finds that their responses to external power security initiatives differ compared to the indigenous security mechanism in the SOM. Despite that, the underlying theme among the three states is to uphold their obligations as coastal states as provided under UNCLOS and in cooperating with each other and international users, though several caveats do seem to also apply.
Peranan NGO Alam Sekitar (ENGO) dalam Isu Deforestasi di Endau-Rompin, 1970-2000
Authors: Muhammad Zaharah , Mohd Noor Arba’iyah
Published: September 2024

Tropical Rainforests in Peninsular Malaysia have a very important role in social, economic, and ecological development locally and transnationally. During the British colonial period, the forests in Peninsular Malaysia were heavily exploited until the idea of conservation came into existence to avoid the depletion of forest resources in the future. The colonial government subsequently established the Forestry Department by designating certain areas as forest reserves. However, after Independence, these forest areas continued to remain under threat to the extent that it has resulted in a decline in forest cover in addition to damage, fragmentation, and degradation of forests in favour of government policies that prioritized economic development. The rush for economic growth has created a conflict between forest stakeholders, particularly the state government and environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs). The objective of this paper is to present the role of ENGOs related to issues in deforestation and forest protection efforts within Endau-Rompin between 1970 where the EndauRompin controversy began until the establishment of Endau-Rompin State Park (Pahang) in 2000. This study used a qualitative approach, that is primary sources such as Parliamentary Hansard and newspapers, and secondary sources such as books and journal articles. In addition, field research was carried out through the observation of forest-related activities organized by several ENGOs. The findings of the study showed that one of the most critical roles of ENGOs in dealing with the issue of deforestation is to prevent activities that damage the forest, especially legal activities that involve decisions made by the state government. The involvement and role of ENGOs can only delay or prolong the process of losing forest cover. This happens because the state government has authority over the land (forest) matters according to the Federal Constitution which cannot be disputed from a legal point of view. The efforts to save the forest can only depend on the political will on whether the state government wants to address or ignore the concerns voiced by ENGOs in issues related to deforestation.
Sanskrit Treatises and The Construction of Candi At The Kampung Baru Archaeological Site, Kedah, Malaysia
Authors: Mohd Nasir Muhammad Nu’man , Ramli Zuliskandar , Abd Hadi Mohd Shamul Bahari
Published: September 2024

The construction of religious structures, such as the candi at the Kampung Baru Archaeological Site, was guided by ancient Sanskrit treatises such as the Manasara and Mayamata. The discovery of an ancient structure at the excavation site of Kampung Baru Kota Kuala Muda, Kedah, has opened up new opportunities for research into the monuments of Ancient Kedah. The brick structure, known as Candi Kampung Baru, bears traces of wall carvings that are remarkably well-preserved. The present study analyses whether the Candi Kampung Baru was built in accordance with these treatises. This study employed archaeological excavations, literature reviews, visual analyses, and digital reconstruction techniques. The findings indicate that the ancient Sanskrit treatises had some influence on the construction of the candi, particularly in the selection of the site and soil. However, in other aspects, local elements were incorporated, resulting in a fusion of foreign and local elements, as the builders had their own interpretation of the treatises. The presence of local elements in this temple serves as evidence that the community in Ancient Kedah did not wholly embrace foreign influences, particularly those from India.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) strongly impacts the physical, sexual, social, and reproductive health of women, causing an array of psychological and behavioural problems. During pregnancy, the detrimental effects of violence extend to both the mother and the child. Rates of IPV are frequently higher among those in conflict‐affected and displaced communities, most of whom live in low and middle‐income countries. IPV against Rohingya women is common due to relocation, family breakups, patriarchal norms, and deep‐seated gender roles. Despite the high prevalence of IPV in Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, the matter is often under‐examined. This qualitative study aims to explore and understand pregnant IPV victims’ unique experiences and hardships among the displaced population in a camp setting. A sample of six pregnant homemakers with no formal education was recruited from a healthcare service provider in Leda Camp 24, a remote camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Semi‐structured, in‐depth, face‐to‐face interviews were conducted. Participants reported diverse manifestations of IPV victimisation. Physical abuse, emotional abuse, economic abuse, sexual abuse, pregnancy‐related consequences, and impact on mental health were commonly experienced by participants of this study. The current research investigates the recurrent abuse experienced by this demography, providing detailed narrative information beyond quantitative descriptions of IPV experiences. This article contributes to the existing knowledge on the intersection of IPV, pregnancy, and mental health among displaced populations. Governmental and non‐governmental stakeholders must contextualise these findings in policies and practices by integrating IPV and violence screening, prevention, and treatment protocols into refugee camps and healthcare service providers.

This paper addresses the design of software for web-based psychosocial care – an increasing and highly relevant societal issue. The paper explores two primary research questions: 1) What design principles should guide the creation of web-based software for online psychological support, and 2) How can design science research facilitate the development and assessment of innovative eHealth solutions? Our research – a tailored DSR approach – was conducted over a 10+ year period within the multi-disciplinary research programme U-CARE. As information systems researchers, we worked as researchers and developers, in tight collaboration with psychologists, economists, medical doctors, nurses, and other key stakeholders. Through this process, we continually reflected and abstracted our experiences into design principles and DSR methodology. In response to the first research question, we introduce a set of design principles for web-based psychosocial support, shaped by the overarching LAME DSR approach. These principles include malleability for adaptability and sustainability, privacy and accountability in online environments, and a focus on stakeholder-specific functionalities like therapist dashboards and smooth authentication processes. In response to the second research question, we present the LAME DSR approach and an informed argument concerning its role in the establishment of a strategic, high-impact research environment.
Scaling Relationships between Local Magnitude, Seismic Moment, and Radiated Seismic Energy for the 18 April 2019 Xiulin, Taiwan, Earthquake Sequence: Implications for Source Non-Self-Similarity
Authors: Chan Jing-Bei , Hwang Ruey-Der , Lin Cai-Yi , Lin Chiung-Yao
Published: September 2024

Using local seismograms, we obtain the source parameters of the 2019 ML 6.32 Xiulin, Taiwan, earthquake sequence to establish scaling relationships among the local magnitude (ML), seismic moment (M0), moment magnitude (Mw), and radiated seismic energy (ES) for ML<4.0 events. The key findings are as follows: (1) logES∝2.0ML, which is consistent with previous studies; (2) logM0∝1.0ML, which leads to Mw∝0.67ML; and (3) the scaled energy (ES/M0) is proportional to M0. These relationships imply that the source duration (T) should be independent of M0. Further analysis via forward waveform modeling reveals a very weak correlation between T and M0 (i.e., logT∝0.03logM0), suggesting that T should be nearly constant. These findings indicate that the source properties of the 2019 Xiulin earthquake sequence were not self-similar. In addition, the two relationships, logES∝2.0ML and logM0∝1.0ML, suggest that ES/M0 should increase with M0 rather than ES/M0 tending to be a constant.

Unruly Female Characters in Augusta Webster’s Selected Poetry
Authors: Bulut Sarıkaya Dilek
Published: September 2024

With her unfaltering dedication to fight against patriarchal convictions in Victorian Britain, Augusta Webster (1837-1894) is featured as a groundbreaking activist poet who grapples steadfastly with the problems of gender discrimination and dualistic constructions of womanhood. At the center of Webster’s feminist agenda are Victorian women’s educational and suffrage rights, equal employment opportunities and economic freedom. Webster’s reformist character is profoundly manifested in her choice of nonconformist, radical female characters as the spokesperson of her ideas, who are condemned and marginalized by the Victorian society. The main concentration of this study, hence, is to analyze these maverick female characters in “Medea in Athens”, “A Castaway”, and “Sister Annuciata” to unravel Webster’s political, activist impetus to destabilize dichotomous conceptualizations of womanhood, either as the angel in the house or the fallen woman in Victorian society.
Fonosemantik: Rus Dilbiliminde Ekoller ve Yaklaşımlar
Authors: Topbaşoğlu Keziban
Published: September 2024

“Fonosemantik” bir sözcüğün ses (akustik) özellikleri ile anlamsal içeriği arasındaki ilişkiyi tanımlamak için kullanılan bir terimdir. Terim Yunanca “phōnḗ” (ses) ve “sēmantikós” (anlam ifade eden, anlamlı) sözcüklerinden gelir; dolayısıyla fonosemantik, bir dilin seslerini ve bunların sözcük anlamları üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmek için kullanılır. Dilbilim temelinde düşünüldüğünde, genç bir bilim olarak var olma serüvenini sürdüren fonosemantik üzerine yapılan alan araştırmaları, belirli sesler ile anlamlar arasındaki benzerlikleri keşfetmeye, bu noktada açığa çıkan dilsel varlıkları tanımlamaya çalışır; böylece bir sözcüğün ses ve anlamlarının, biçim ve anlambilim düzeyinde ilişkilendirilebileceği fikrini açığa çıkarmaya yarar. Bu çalışma, kökleri Antik Yunan’a kadar uzanan fonosemantiğin oluşum, gelişim süreçlerini; diğer bilim dallarıyla etkileşim potansiyelini ele alırken, söz konusu fonosemantik düşüncenin Rus dilbilimdeki yansımalarını, Rus fonosemantik ekollerini, Rus dilbilimci ve araştırmacıların bu alana adanan çalışmalarındaki yaklaşımları tanıtma amacındadır.İşte bu çalışma, kökleri Antik Yunan’a kadar uzanan fonosemantiğin oluşum ve gelişim süreçlerini ve diğer bilim dallarıyla etkileşim potansiyelini ele alırken, söz konusu fonosemantik düşüncenin Rus dilbilimdeki yansımalarını, Rus fonosemantik ekollerini ve Rus dilbilimci ve araştırmacıların bu alana adanan çalışmalarındaki yaklaşımları tanıtma amacındadır.

Published: September 2024

Makalenin konusunu 19. yüzyıl Amerika'sının önde gelen ressamlarından biri olan Frederic Edwin Church’ün “Aegean Sea” (Ege Denizi) isimli çalışması oluşturmaktadır. Neden Amerikalı bir ressam 19.yüzyılda böyle bir tablo yapmıştır sorusunun cevabı makalede ele alınmaya çalışılmıştır. Church yaşamı boyunca (d.4 Mayıs 1826 – ö.7 Nisan 1900 ) Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'ndeki en popüler ve maddi açıdan en başarılı ressam olmuştur. Genç bir sanatçı olarak Church'ün resim konusundaki ilk eğitimi, Hudson Nehri Okulu'nun babası olarak kabul edilen Amerikalı ressam Thomas Cole'un yanında çıraklık yapmasıyla gerçekleşmiştir. Kariyerini geliştirirken Church, Amerikalı izleyicilerin alışık olmadığı görkemli sahnelerin taslak çizimlerini yapmak için çok uzak yerlere gitmiş ve bunları dramatik, büyük ölçekli tablolara dönüştürmüştür. Bu seyahatler Church'e, Hartford'lu Timothy Mather Allyn, J. Pierpont Morgan ve Elizabeth Hart, Jarvis Colt gibi dönemin önde gelen Amerikalı sanayici ve finansörleri de dahil olmak üzere çok sayıda varlıklı kişiler için önemli ve oldukça fazla sayıda resim üretmesi için imkân sağlamıştır.

Authors: Yalçın Görkem , Çakmak Şakir
Published: September 2024

Batı Anadolu’nun kadim kentlerinden biri olan Manisa, tarih boyunca pek çok medeniyete ev sahipliği yaptıktan sonra, XIV. yüzyılın başlarında Türk hâkimiyetine girerek kısa sürede bir Türk-İslam kenti kimliği kazanmıştır. Saruhanoğulları Beyliği’ne başkentlik yapan kent, Osmanlı döneminde şehzadelerin gönderildiği en önemli sancak merkezlerinden biridir. Bu yüzyıllarda yoğun imar faaliyetlerine sahne olan Manisa’da, gerek hanedan mensupları gerekse de devlet görevlileri tarafından pek çok mimari eser yaptırılmıştır. Bu yapılar arasında yer alan Lala Paşa Camisi, tek kubbeli cami örneklerinden birini teşkil etmekle birlikte, dikkat çeken bazı mimari özelliklere de sahiptir. Cami, yüzyıllar içerisinde gördüğü çeşitli müdahalelerle günümüze ulaşabilmiştir. Mevcut izler, yapının inşa evrelerine ilişkin önemli veriler sunmaktadır.
The Use of Deconstructive Parody in Muriel Spark’s Novel Not to Disturb
Authors: Korbut Salman Volha
Published: September 2024

The prolific British-Scottish novelist Muriel Spark depicts the plight of the owners of a Gothic-style chateau in Geneva, the Baron and Baroness Klopstock, and their servants in her purposefully brief and infinitely suggestive novel Not to Disturb (1971). The approaching tragedy that will encompass the deaths of Klopstocks and Victor, their secretary and lover, is something the butler Lister is bracing himself for. Servants of the chateau are not permitted to bother these three captives who are detained in the library for the night. While the servants are the ones who planned the murder with the intention of inheriting a fortune, due to the expectant housemaid Heloise’s marriage to the lunatic and sole heir to Klopstock’s fortune residing in the attic, they nevertheless seem to be shocked and saddened by the discovery of three dead bodies the following morning. This paper argues that Not to Disturb, in this sense, offers a brilliant deconstructive parody of the Gothic novel and Jacobean drama genres by dissecting their essential elements, cliches, and traditions and then reincorporating them into the story in a whole new twentieth-century self-reflexive light.

Sultan II. Abdülhamid Dönemi İstanbul’unda Şerbethaneler ve Ermeni Şerbethaneleri Üzerine Bir İnceleme (1876-1900)
Authors: Ulukaya Gülşen
Published: September 2024

Şerbethaneler, başlangıç tarihi net olmamakla birlikte Osmanlı Devleti’nde zaman zaman içkili mekânlar olan meyhanelerin ya da şaraphanelerin yerine kullanılmış ve bunlarla aynı işlevi görmüştür. Hukukî olarak haram ve sakıncalı olmayan içeceğin satıldığı yer olarak nitelendirilen şerbethaneler, toplumsal ya da hukukî bir tercihin sonucunda meyhanelerin yerine kullanılmış olabilirler. Ancak şerbethaneler, 19. yüzyılda yenileşme hareketleri ve Osmanlı’nın kurmuş olduğu gedik sistemi ile rekabet ortamının getirdiği sonuçlar çerçevesinde esas kimliklerine geçiş yapması beklense de bu bir anda olmamış, kademeli bir şekilde ilerletilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışma, 1876-1900 yılları arasında İstanbul’da şerbethaneleri ve şerbethaneci esnaf içinde söz konusu Ermeni şerbethanelerinin incelenmesine odaklanmaktadır. Şerbethanelerin ortaya çıkışı, kullanımı ve mekânsal konumlarına dair bilgiler, arşiv belgeleri ışığında değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu şerbethanelerin yoğun olarak hangi bölgelerde bulunduğu ve diğer Gayrimüslim şerbethanelerle oranları karşılaştırılarak ele alınmıştır. Elde edilen veriler ışığında, 1876-1900 yılları arasında genel olarak İstanbul’da meyhane ya da şaraphane özelliğine sahip şerbethanelere odaklanılırken özelinde ise Ermeni şerbethaneleri ele alınmıştır.
