Published: October 2020

On 17 September 2019, the first outbreak of African swine fever in a pig farm was confirmed in South Korea. By 9 October, 14 outbreaks of ASF in domestic pigs had been diagnosed in 4 cities/counties. We isolated viruses from all infected farms and performed genetic characterization. The phylogenetic analysis showed that all of fourteen ASFV isolates in South Korea belong to genotype II and serogroup 8. Additionally, all isolates had an intergenic region (IGR) II variant with additional tandem repeat sequences (TRSs) between the I73R and I329L genes and showed characteristics of central variable region (CVR) 1 of the B602L gene and IGR 1 of MGF 505 9R/10R genes. These are identical to the genetic characteristics of some European isolates and Chinese isolates.
The Evolving Role of Ophthalmology Clinics in Screening for Early Alzheimer’s Disease: A Review
Authors: Dickens Paris , Ramaesh Kanna
Published: October 2020

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, which is a growing public health concern. Although there is no curative treatment for established AD, early recognition and modification of the known risk factors can reduce both severity and the rate of progression. Currently, an early diagnosis of AD is rarely achieved, as there is no screening for AD. The cognitive decline in AD is gradual and often goes unnoticed by patients and caregivers, resulting in patients presenting at later stages of the disease. Primary care physicians (general practitioners in the UK) can administer a battery of tests for patients presenting with memory problems and cognitive impairment, however final diagnosis of AD is usually made by specialised tertiary level clinics. Recent studies suggest that in AD, visuospatial difficulties develop prior to the development of memory problems and screening for visuospatial difficulties may offer a tool to screen for early stage AD. AD and cataracts share common risk and predisposing factors, and the stage of cataract presentation for intervention has shifted dramatically with early cataract referral and surgical intervention becoming the norm. This presentation offers an ideal opportunity to administer a screening test for AD, and visuospatial tools can be administered at post-operative visits by eye clinics. Abnormal findings can be communicated to primary care physicians for further follow up and assessment, or possible interventions which modify risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity can be undertaken. We propose that eye clinics and ophthalmology facilities have a role to play in the early diagnosis of AD and reducing the burdens arising from severe dementia.
A Century of Riverbank Protection and River Training in Bangladesh
Authors: Oberhagemann Knut , Haque A. M. Aminul , Thompson Angela
Published: October 2020

Protecting against riverbank erosion along the world’s largest rivers is challenging. The Bangladesh Delta, bisected by the Brahmaputra River (also called the Jamuna River), is rife with complexity. Here, an emerging middle-income country with the world’s highest population density coexists with the world’s most unpredictable and largest braided, sand-bed river. Bangladesh has struggled over decades to protect against the onslaught of a continuously widening river corridor. Many of the principles implemented successfully in other parts of the world failed in Bangladesh. To this end, Bangladesh embarked on intensive knowledge-based developments and piloted new technologies. After two decades, successful, sustainable, low-cost riverbank protection technology was developed, suitable for the challenging river conditions. It was necessary to accept that no construction is permanent in this morphologically dynamic environment. What was initially born out of fund shortages became a cost-effective, systematic and adaptive approach to riverbank protection using improved knowledge, new materials, and new techniques, in the form of geobag revetments. This article provides an overview of the challenges faced when attempting to stabilize the riverbanks of the mighty rivers of Bangladesh. An overview of the construction of the major bridge crossings as well as riverbank protection schemes is detailed. Finally, a summary of lessons learned concludes the impressive progress made.
Estimating Design Floods at Ungauged Watersheds in South Korea Using Machine Learning Models
Authors: Lee Jin-Young , Choi Changhyun , Kang Doosun , Kim Byung Sik , Kim Tae-Woong
Published: October 2020

With recent increases of heavy rainfall during the summer season, South Korea is hit by substantial flood damage every year. To reduce such flood damage and cope with flood disasters, it is necessary to reliably estimate design floods. Despite the ongoing efforts to develop practical design practice, it has been difficult to develop a standardized guideline due to the lack of hydrologic data, especially flood data. In fact, flood frequency analysis (FFA) is impractical for ungauged watersheds, and design rainfall–runoff analysis (DRRA) overestimates design floods. This study estimated the appropriate design floods at ungauged watersheds by combining the DRRA and watershed characteristics using machine learning methods, including decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, deep neural network, the Elman recurrent neural network, and the Jordan recurrent neural network. The proposed models were validated using K-fold cross-validation to reduce overfitting and were evaluated based on various error measures. Even though the DRRA overestimated the design floods by 160%, on average, for our study areas the proposed model using random forest reduced the errors and estimated design floods at 99% of the FFA, on average.
Investigating Monetary Incentives for Environmentally Friendly Residential Landscapes
Authors: Zhang Xumin , Khachatryan Hayk
Published: October 2020

State and local governments develop policies that promote environmentally friendly landscaping practices with the goal to mitigate adverse environmental impacts from heavily maintained residential lawns. One of the mechanisms to achieve low-input landscaping practices in the urban environment is to promote the conversion of monoculture turfgrass lawns into partial turfgrass, low-input landscapes. Rebate incentives are used as an instrument to encourage the adoption of such landscapes. This study investigates the effects of households’ monetary incentive requirement on households’ preferences and willingness to pay for low-input landscapes. The discrete choice experiment method was used to analyze responses from households categorized into low, medium, and high incentive requirement groups. The results show that rebate incentives may have significant positive effects on individuals’ intentions to adopt low-input landscapes. Participants with low incentive requirement were willing to pay more for environmentally friendly attributes, compared with their counterparts in the medium and high incentive requirement groups. Practical implications for relevant stakeholders are discussed.
Concentration–Discharge Relationships in Runoff Components during Rainfall Events at the Hydrohill Experimental Catchment in Chuzhou, China

Published: October 2020

Concentration–discharge (C-Q) relationships are a convenient and increasingly popular tool for interpreting the episodic hydrochemical response to the varying discharge in small basins, providing insights into solute transport and streamflow generation. While most studies are focused on total runoff, this study quantified C-Q relationships in four runoff components during precipitation events at the Hydrohill experimental catchment in Chuzhou, China. This unique artificial catchment is carefully engineered, allowing observations of the interacting runoff components that collectively determine total flow issuing from the catchment. The four runoff components, or flow paths, include surface runoff (SR), shallow interflow at 0–30 cm depth (SSR30), deeper interflow at 30–60 cm depth (SSR60), and groundwater flow at 60–100 cm depth (SSR100). Water samples were collected during three consecutive precipitation events to study how the concentrations of primary solutes vary with flow. Analysis of C-Q relationships reveals that concentrations of Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42−, and HCO3− in the four runoff components had a negative relationship with discharge, while the concentration of K+ and Cl− were negatively correlated with discharge in SR and SSR30 but positively correlated in SSR60 and SSR100. Further insights were gained from principal component analysis. Three eigenvectors explained 92% of the variability in hydrochemistry in surface runoff, while two eigenvectors explained most of the variability in the hydrochemistry of subsurface flows observed at various depths in the soil profile (73% for SSR30, 79% for SSR60, and 76% for SSR100). PC1 (the first Principal Component) can be interpreted as a salinity factor, deriving from carbonate minerals such as dolomites and limestone minerals. Results indicated that leaching and dilution processes, water–soil interaction, and macropore flows in soils are the primary factors controlling the C-Q relationships. Our work sheds light on the coupled processes and streamflow generation mechanisms that control water quality at the catchment scale.

The present study evaluated the performance of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris in an Enterobacter sp. MN17-assisted textile industry wastewater treatment system for decolorization, removal of heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Pb, and Cd), and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Different dilutions (5, 10, and 20%) of wastewater were prepared to decrease the pollutant toxicity for culturing microalgae and bacteria. Reduction of color, COD, and metal contents by microalgal treatment of wastewater varied greatly, while removal efficiency (RE) was significantly enhanced when endophytic bacterial strain MN17 inoculum was applied. Most notable, results were found at a 5% dilution level by Enterobacter sp. MN17-inoculated C. vulgaris medium, as chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) concentrations were decreased from 1.32 to 0.27 mg L−1 (79% decrease), 0.79–0.14 mg L−1 (93% decrease), 1.33–0.36 mg L−1 (72% decrease), and 1.2–0.25 mg L−1 (79% decrease), respectively. The values of COD and color were also significantly decreased by 74% and 70%, respectively, by a C. vulgaris–Enterobacter sp. MN17 consortium. The present investigation revealed that bacterial inoculation of microalgae significantly enhanced the removal of coloring agents and heavy metals from textile wastewater by stimulating the growth of algal biomass. This study manifested the usefulness of microalgae–bacterial mutualism for the remediation of heavy metals, COD, and color in industrial effluents. Microalgae consortia with growth promoting bacteria could be a breakthrough for better bioremediation and bioprocess economy. Thus, further studies are needed for successful integration of microalgae–plant growth promoting bacterial (PGPB) consortium for wastewater treatments.

Published: October 2020

Although many significant policies and legislation have been put forth by the Chinese government aiming toward “ecological civilization” for the aquatic environment, in practice, the situation is still undesirable. A pioneering multi-year study has since been conducted on the East Tiaoxi River (a major tributary of the renowned Yangtze River), focusing on fish distribution, influencing factors and habitat requirements, and river health as well. This revealed certain key species, hotspot protection areas, negative impacts of local anthropogenic activities, and inappropriate perceptions and practices of conservation and restoration. We found that not all fish species were equally conserved and that the supposedly ecological engineering measures were initiated without regard for ecological integrity. Our exemplary study appreciates scientific basis and truly ecological notion, and urgently advocates comprehensive and continuous basin-scale scientific investigation of fish biodiversity, and “ecological river”-oriented conservation and restoration action for the Yangtze River Basin and broader areas of China.
Domestic animal production and consumption at Tall al-Handaquq South (Jordan) in the Early Bronze III
Authors: Price Max D. , Makarewicz Cheryl A. , Chesson Meredith S.
Published: October 2020

The Early Bronze Age (EBA) in the Southern Levant saw the emergence of socioeconomic inequality, fortified towns, and craft specialization. Livestock production was key to facilitating these socioeconomic changes, but the precise forms of animal husbandry and the economic contributions of domestic animal herding to EBA economies in the Southern Levant remain underexplored. Here, we investigate faunal remains recovered from Tall al-Handaquq South (THS), a walled Early Bronze III settlement located in the northern Jordan Valley. Zooarchaeological analyses indicate that small-stock (sheep and goat) herding formed the basis of subsistence and surplus production, while cattle husbandry provided much needed labour for intensive cereal production. The high relative abundance of cattle and the preference for goats, which thrive on low quality forage typical for more marginal landscapes beyond the valley floor, over sheep may indicate use of a more extensive herding strategy that kept herds off of agricultural fields while maintaining animal production. Notably, caprine management systems shifted throughout the EB III at THS from strategies emphasizing the optimal production of meat obtained from prime-aged sheep and goats to one focused on the exploitation of older animals, perhaps for fiber production. During this time, however, goats continued to outnumber sheep, possibly reflecting the longterm importance of grain production, which is expected to be reflected in the faunal record by high proportions of goats and cattle. Comparing the data from THS to other sites in the Southern Levant, the data indicate an evolution towards a greater focus on agricultural and livestock commodity production, factors that may have contributed to the abandonment of THS and, perhaps, other walled sites in the region.

Functional Photoacoustic and Ultrasonic Assessment of Osteoporosis: A Clinical Feasibility Study
Authors: Feng Ting , Zhu Yunhao , Morris Richard , Kozloff Kenneth M. , Wang Xueding
Published: October 2020

Objective and Impact Statement
. To study the feasibility of combined functional photoacoustic (PA) and quantitative ultrasound (US) for diagnosis of osteoporosis
in vivo
based on the detection of chemical and microarchitecture (BMA) information in calcaneus bone.
Introduction
. Clinically available X-ray or US technologies for the diagnosis of osteoporosis do not report important parameters such as chemical information and BMA. With unique advantages, including good sensitivity to molecular and metabolic properties, PA bone assessment techniques hold a great potential for clinical translation.
Methods
. By performing multiwavelength PA measurements, the chemical information in the human calcaneus bone, including mineral, lipid, oxygenated-hemoglobin, and deoxygenated-hemoglobin, were assessed. In parallel, by performing PA spectrum analysis, the BMA as an important bone physical property was quantified. An unpaired

t

-test and a two-way ANOVA test were conducted to compare the outcomes from the two subject groups.
Results
. Multiwavelength PA measurement is capable of assessing the relative contents of several chemical components in the trabecular bone
in vivo
, including both minerals and organic materials such as oxygenated-hemoglobin, deoxygenated-hemoglobin, and lipid, which are relevant to metabolic activities and bone health. In addition, PA measurements of BMA show good correlations (

R

up to 0.65) with DEXA. Both the chemical and microarchitectural measurements from PA techniques can differentiate the two subject groups.
Conclusion
. The results from this initial clinical study suggest that PA techniques, by providing additional chemical and microarchitecture information relevant to bone health, may lead to accurate and early diagnosis, as well as sensitive monitoring of the treatment of osteoporosis.

Published: October 2020

The paper aims to highlight the correlations between the physical-mechanical properties of woven fabrics made of
combed wool yarn with different fibrous compositions, using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Based
on the information on each fabric/assortment group, it is found that four main factors were extracted: durability, comfort,
production price and fabric design. The extracted components explain 92% of the variability of the twelve initial
inter-correlated variables, so that we can considerably reduce the complexity of the data configured using these
components, with only 8% loss of information. This technique that follows the controlled reduction of the number of
variables can be used subsequently for modelling the physical-mechanical properties of the fabrics and for selecting the
most suitable fabrics to satisfy the requirements of a particular field of use

Published: October 2020

In the fashion, industry brands are especially important, because the competition is high, and companies need to attract
new customers and keep them. Successful branding requires a good knowledge of consumers and their purchasing
processes. Brands have an important function in the fashion world, both for businesses and consumers. The brand is
assured to the consumers by the quality and by acquiring some image and status in the company. A strong brand makes
a profit for the company. In addition, a strong brand enables setting high prices and expansion of product range and
introducing new products.
In the survey, we wanted to examine the behaviour of customers in the clothing brands in the Slovenian market. We
used a survey questionnaire to get the appropriate answers.
The survey found that most respondents want to buy clothes in larger shopping centres and in the Internet, most often
during the sale after the season.

KEPUASAN WISATAWAN DALAM PENGGUNAAN E-COMMERCE AGODA DALAM PEMESANAN HOTEL
Authors: Wachyuni Suci Sandi , Wiweka Kadek
Published: October 2020

The industrial revolution that entered the 4.0 phase encouraged the industry to innovate, where one of the developing industries was e-commerce. As part of the OTA (tourism industry), e-commerce, or especially Agoda offers not only products but also services. However, at the moment, Agoda can be said to be left behind if we look at the ranking of the top brand awards, 2019. Therefore this research intends to examine the satisfaction of tourists (consumers) in using Agoda for booking a hotel. The approach used in this research is descriptive quantitative, where primary data is collected through a questionnaire with indicators of customer satisfaction (Repurchase, Word of Mouth, Brand Image, Product Quality, Price, Service Quality, and Emotional Factor). The scale used is Likert (1-5), and the sampling technique used is probability sampling, which is simple random sampling with a total of 100 respondents. The secondary data is taken from Agoda's website, books, literature, and previous research. The study was conducted during June-July 2019. This study found that the average tourist was quite satisfied - satisfied with Agoda's services in booking hotels. However, to maintain its existence, Agoda needs to make efforts to attract tourists, especially in improving the Agoda brand image. Also, the cooperation partners, which are hotels, will have high confidence in marketing their hotels through Agoda. Furthermore, in terms of the marketing segment, Agoda is very firmly attached to the millennial generation in meeting accommodation needs. However, it is interesting to investigate further the purpose of booking this accommodation, whether for travel needs or other vacation concepts, like one of the popular concepts nowadays, "staycation".  This research is expected to provide information about service conditions and customer satisfaction using Agoda. So the results of this study can be useful not only for Agoda companies but also for other OTAs who offer similar products or services.

ARQ: The Gateway from NOMA to NOM
Authors: Al-Dweik Arafat , Iraqi Youssef
Published: October 2020

This work presents a new framework that utilizes

power-domain (PD) nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) as a multiplexing scheme to improve the throughput of point-to-point (P2P), or single user, communications. The proposed framework synergizes PD-NOMA and automatic repeat request (ARQ) to enable multiplexing and transmitting multiple packets that belong to the same user simultaneously. To overcome channel estimation and feedback limitations, and to reduce the system complexity, a simple adaptation scheme is proposed select the

appropriate number packets to be transmitted within a given

transmission slot. Moreover, the number of transmitted packets

is limited to a maximum of two to allow the receiver to blindly

identify the number of transmitted packets in a particular

transmission slot. The obtained results show that the proposed

NOM scheme can eventually double the system throughput at

high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and hence, reduce the delay

by 50%. The system complexity and overhead are generally

comparable to conventional ARQ systems.
Design and Implementation of Web based application for Food Materials Selection for Meals Menu in Universitas Advent Indonesia Cafeteria
Authors: Sihotang Vember Ezer , Pakpahan Andrew Fernando
Published: October 2020

Proper selection of food ingredients and quantities is a significant step to serve foods with good taste. When the selection of food ingredients is done inappropriately, the food maker can suffer losses because the ingredients chosen exceed the target for their use. Proper data collection in managing food ingredients is also needed by food makers in large quantities to produce delicious food as well. Universitas Advent Indonesia is a boarding campus which organizes and serves food for students on campus. Food serving for students is managed by the Cafeteria Department. One of the challenges that faced by this department is the collection of food ingredients on each food menu. Because of cooking in large portions, errors in the use of food ingredients are often found. In one meal, the cafeteria manager must prepare food for 1000-1500 servings. Then in one day the cafeteria must prepare food for 3000-4500 servings. Therefore, conducting this research aims at designing an information system that can record incoming materials, available materials and exit materials. This study also aims to make it easier for workers in the selection and data collection at the cafeteria of Universitas Advent Indonesia. The method that used in this study is SDLC (System Development Life Cycle), they are: (1) Analysis of Program requirements (Requirements). (2) Design (System Design). (3) Writing the Program Code (coding). (4) Program Testing (Testing). (5) Program Leading (implementation). Based on the design that has been described, it can be concluded that the system built can improve the performance of Universitas Advent Indonesia employees; the information system that is designed includes the selection of food ingredients as well as monitoring incoming, outgoing and available ingredients. The system built can also store data as desired. The design of this system is web-based, the use of this system will be even better if the design of this system is implemented mobile in the future.

A retrospective examination of the effects of regional anesthesia methods applied for postoperative pain control on analgesic consumption after lower extremity surgery
Authors: Erol Mehmet Kenan
Published: October 2020

Objective: If preferable, the regional anesthesia is a more preferred method than general anesthesia. The preference for regional anesthesia increases as postoperative recovery is quicker, hospitalization is less and hospital costs are low.

Material and methods: We retrospectively evaluated the hemodynamic findings, postoperative pain, hospital, and intensive care stay in patients aged 18-80 who underwent lower extremity surgery with regional anesthesia in the last 1 year. We divided the cases into 3 groups; Group 1 (n =114) patients with a peripheral nerve block, Group 2 (n =104) spinal anesthesia, and Group 3 (n =81) epidural anesthesia.

Results: The difference between group 1 and 2, age hospitalization, and time of stay in intensive care was statistically significant. (P=0.021) (P=0.000). The difference between group 1 and 3 Intensive care unit stay was statistically significant (P = 0.003). The difference between the length of stay in the intensive care unit between groups 2 and 3 was found as statistically significant (P = 0.000). There was no significant difference in terms of hospital stay. Group 1 was found to have the shortest duration of intensive care stay.

Conclusion: In lower extremity surgeries, peripheral nerve blocks may have provided more hemodynamic stability and longer analgesic effect compared to central blocks.

Published: October 2020

Objective:   This study was aimed to compare the wear of four types of the ceramic dental materials with different surface treatments.

Material and Methods: Porcelain (low-fusing feldspathic, monolithic zirconia, lithium disilicate glass, and leucite glass-ceramic) samples (9 x 3 mm) were prepared with different surface treatments (glazed and mechanical polished). Samples were mechanically loaded in a chewing simulator (600.000 cyles of 50N) and 64 teeth were used to simulate as the antagonist. To evaluate the wear of the samples before and after the test, samples were scanned by 3D scanner, Dental Wings 7 Series. Then they were transformed into the digital platform. Surface analysis was performed by using an optical profilometer and scanning electron microscope. A sensitive digital scale was used for weight measurements of antagonist's teeth.

Results: It was a significant difference between the volume values of the groups with mechanical polish and the groups with glaze, except for zirconia samples (p<0.05). While the least change in volume and surface roughness was observed in the zirconia mechanic polished group (ZP), this change was not statistically significant (p>0.05). In terms of the weight measurement results of the antagonist teeth, while  leucite reinforced overglazed group (PRG) has the highest weight loss as a result of wear, ZP group has the least weight loss.

Conclusion: It was concluded that glazed groups of ceramics lose more substances than polished groups, and that causes more wear on antagonist teeth. Zirconia ceramics showed less substance loss, and that causes less wear on antagonist teeth.
ENGELLİ BİREYLERE ÜNİVERSİTE KÜTÜPHANELERİNDE VERİLEN HİZMETLERDE TOPLAM KALİTE UYGULAMALARINA YÖNELİK NİTEL ARAŞTIRMA

Published: October 2020

Engelliler; toplumsal sorumluluklarımızın olduğu ve eğitimlerinde özel hassasiyet ve çaba gösterilmesi gereken bireylerdir. Engelli bireylere özel eğitim kurumları olduğu gibi, son dönemlerde temel ve örgün eğitim kurumları da engellilerin kullanıma olanak verecek şekilde kullanılabilmektedir. Maliyeti ve engelli bireyleri toplumdan ayrıştırma boyutu dikkate alındığında, özel öğretim kurumları geri planda kalmaya başlamış ve engelsiz eğitim kurumları önem kazanmıştır. Yükseköğretim kurumları bu hususta, olanaklarının da verdiği avantajı kullanarak, liderlik yapmaktadırlar. Engelli personellerine ve öğrencilerine hayatlarını kolaylaştırıcı, görevlerini veya çalışmalarını daha rahat yapabilecekleri ortamları sağlayabilmektedirler.

Günümüz yükseköğretim sisteminde önemli bir yaklaşım olan “Engelsiz Üniversite” kavramı; gerek Yükseköğretim Kurulu tarafından yapılan çalışmalarla gerekse de üniversitelerin kendi bünyelerindeki gayretleriyle ciddi yol alınmasını sağlamıştır. Bu çabaların en temel amacı, engelli bireylerin hem eğitim hem de yaşam kalitesini arttırarak toplumsal hayatta daha fazla yer alan ve fayda sağlayan aktörlere dönüşümlerinin tamamlanmasıdır. Üniversitelerin kalite arttırıcı uygulamaları engelli bireylerin eğitim hizmetlerine erişebilirliğini arttırırken eğitim haklarının da tam anlamıyla yerine getirilebilmesi için önemli adımlardır. Özellikle fiziksel ortamın iyileştirilmesi ve bu bağlamda kütüphanelerin istenilen düzeye getirilmesi, engelli bireylerin eğitim hayatlarında daha büyük başarılara ulaşmasına neden olmaktadır.

Toplam kalite anlayışının hemen hemen her alanda yerleşmeye başladığı günümüz dünyasında; üniversite kütüphanelerinin bu yaklaşımı benimsemeleri tüm paydaşlara yarar sağlayacağı gibi özellikle engelli paydaşlarına (personel ve öğrenci) faydası daha ciddi bir düzeyde olacaktır. Engellilik durumuna göre, toplam kalite yönetimi çerçevesinde, bireylerin beklentilerini karşılayıcı faaliyetlerin gerçekleştirilmesiyle engelli bireylerin kütüphane kaygısı aşılmakta ve kütüphane hizmetlerinden daha fazla istifade etmeleri sağlanmaktadır.
12 TEMMUZ BEYANNAMESİ’NİN CUMHURİYET HALK PARTİSİ’NDE (CHP) YARATTIĞI SİYASİ ETKİLER
Authors: TÜRKMENOĞLU KÖSE Dilşad
Published: October 2020

Bu çalışma, 1945 yılı sonrası süreçte Türkiye’nin çok partili siyasi hayata geçmesi ardından tıkanan iktidar ve muhalefet arası ilişkileri yeniden dizayn ettiği iddia edilen, 12 Temmuz Beyannamesi’nin CHP’de yarattığı siyasi etkileri ortaya koymak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmış olan çalışmada, öncelikle Türkiye’nin çok partili siyasi hayata geçiş süreci değerlendirilmektedir. Ardından 12 Temmuz Beyannamesi’nin bu süreçteki yeri ve demokratik değerinin ortaya konması planlanmaktadır. Son olarak CHP’nin Beyanname’nin yayınlanmasından sonra siyasetinde yaşanan dönüşüm analiz edilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Literatür taraması yapıldığında daha önceki çalışmaların 12 Temmuz Beyannamesine yer verdiği, fakat sürecin CHP açısından özel olarak değerlendirilmediği görülmektedir. Çalışmanın 12 Temmuz Beyannamesi ve sonrası süreci, özellikle CHP’nin politikaları açısından değerlendirmesiyle literatüre katkı yapacağı düşünülmektedir.
AVRUPA VE SAĞ KANAT MİLLİYETÇİLİK: YENİ BİR SÖZLEŞME
Authors: ATASEVEN Emrullah
Published: October 2020

Bir kısmı uzun bir süredir, diğer bir kısmı yaklaşık son otuz yıldır demokratik ve liberal bir anlayışla yönetilmekte olan Avrupa ülkelerinin geleneksel siyasal yapılarında ciddi değişimlere yol açabilecek hareketler güçlenmektedir. Henüz iktidarı tamamen ele geçirmenin uzağında bulunsalar da Avrupa’daki sağcı, milliyetçi, popülist hareketler merkez siyasetin belirlenmesinde etkili olmaya başlamışlardır. Bu çalışma bu hareketlerin tabanlarının önemli bir kısmını oluşturan “lüzumsuz, prekarya” insana odaklanarak bu hareketlerin siyaset yapma tarzlarının Avrupa’daki merkez siyaseti nasıl yeniden biçimlendirmeye başladığını incelemektedir. Çalışma ayrıca milliyetçi, sağcı hareketler bu insanlar için taleplerini ve şikayetlerini ifade edebilecekleri araçlar haline gelme sürecini tartışmaktadır.
KENTSEL ÇÖKÜNTÜ ALANLARI ÜZERİNE TEORİK BİR TARTIŞMA
Authors: ERGÖNÜL Eser , SADİOĞLU Uğur
Published: October 2020

Literatürde kentsel çöküntü kavramı; kentin merkezine yakın bir mekânda yer alan eski bir mahallenin “normal oturma alanı” kimliğini kaybetmesi ve bu duruma bağlı olarak mekânsal, sosyal, fiziksel ve kültürel özelliklerinin değişmesi anlamında kullanılmaktadır. Middleton kent merkezlerindeki çöküntüyü yoksulluk, yeni iş fırsatlarının yaratılamaması ve çevre kalitesinin düşmesi ile açıklamaktadır. Ona göre, şartları çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı kötüleşen mekanlar alt gelir grupları tarafından tercih edilmekte ve böylece mekânın çöküntüleşme süreci hızlanmaktadır.
Her türlü kentsel bozulmayı aynı nedene dayandırmak mümkün müdür veya bu çöküntüleşme sürecini tek bir tipoloji açıklamaya yeterli midir? Kent merkezlerinde çöküntü alanlarının oluşmasını farklı nedenlere dayandıran çeşitli uygulamalı çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu kuramlar sorunu temelde üç perspektifle ele almaktadır. Bunlar; kentsel ekolojik kuram, tarihselci kuram ve ekonomik süreçler kuramıdır.
Çalışmanın temel amacı; üç kuramı karşılaştırarak kent merkezlerindeki çöküntüleşme sürecini hangi nedenlere dayandırdıklarını tartışmaktır. Çalışma kapsamında kuramsal tartışmalardan yola çıkılarak Türkiye kentlerindeki çöküntü alanı sayılabilecek kentsel mekanları hangi kuramın açıklamakta geçerli olduğu veya olmadığı sorgulanmıştır.
