The women’s majesty is always respectable but presently the cruelty of humans and the jeopardy on women are not leading us towards hell only but also degrading our sublimity. A lot of women were sexually and mentally harassed while some are beaten to death and many of the cases are even not registered in the papers. Generally, when the wrong behavior happening to the woman, at that time she alone fought with them, no one comes to save her life because no one saw her and if she went to the police, she has no proof. So, for the safety of the women, we think to design such a device so that the woman could get help from the police department and her family too. The device contains e-components like GSM, GPS, ESP32 camera module, battery, etc. The whole design will be coded in the IC ATmega328p. Later on, the design will be printed on the PCB. The device will be in a very small design in the form of “Borla” a Rajasthani traditional wear. Because of the device, we will make a direct touch with the lady and along with the live tracking of that woman. It will also help us in tracking delinquents to put them behind the bars with adequate proofs. With the help of GSM, GPS the nearest police department and her family members will get the location of the woman via mobile message and the police will lead the rest. It will give a complete shield to the woman just with a single touch. In this paper, we tried to reduce the cost of women’s shields with help of value analysis & optimization.
Digital Building Blocks using Perceptrons in Neural Networks
Authors:   Presidency University Bangalore, India, Mehta Shilpa
Published: September 2021

Most microprocessors and microcontrollers are based on Digital Electronics building Blocks. Digital Electronics gives us a number of combinational and sequential circuits for various arithmetic and logical operations. These include Adders, Subtracters, Encoders, Decoders, Multiplexers, DE multiplexers and Flip Flops. These further combine into higher configurations to perform advanced operations. These operations are done using logic circuits in digital electronics. But in this paper, we explore the human reasoning approach using artificial neural networks. We will look into neural implementations of logic gates implemented with SLP (Single layer perceptron) and MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron). We will also look into recurrent neural architectures to make basic memory elements, viz. Flip Flops which use feedback and may involve in one or more neuron layers.
The International Reception of the American Series: a Comparison between France and China
Authors:   Communication et sociétés, Université Clermont Auvergne, Liu Lu , Rouquette Sébastien ,   Communication et sociétés, Université Clermont Auvergne
Published: September 2021

This work aims to understand the reception of the American television sitcom Modern Family by French and Chinese students. The first part of this research points up disparities of interpretation between French and Chinese receivers and the second one the congruent elements. The analysis of the sociocultural context of France and China is based on the theory of reception. Actually, the receptions partly differ in the most important place granted by the Chinese audience to family relationships while the French audience regards the mode of production of the series as more important. Although the French audience’s critical reading on scenario, stereotypic usage of decors and dialogues are less present among Chinese students, a large part of ideas and social values as well as family values of series are recognized as much by the French audience as by the Chinese one: among these, love, family and mutual assistance between relatives are rated as the most important.
How Does the Reconfiguration of the Distance Modify the Social Link in the Contemporary Companies ? The Example of Soldiers Taking Part in Overseas Military Operations
Authors:   Communication et société, Université Clermont Auvergne, BERNARD Agnès
Published: September 2021

These few pages question the management of the distance dependent on techniques of communication, and try to define an evolution corresponding not in their use, but in their impact in the intra-family relation. This study is led from a corpus of soldiers’ letters of the Great War and the conversations administered with serviceman combined arms (air-terre-marine) and his wives.
Teachers and Interpersonal Relationships: a Question of Distance and Social Link?
Authors:   Doctorant en sociologie, université du Mans et université de Montréal, ORIVAL Tony
Published: September 2021

Social distance and social link are important in the relationships between teachers and pupils. This question deserves to be examined with a sociological eye. The aim of this book chapter is to clarify the meaning of the terms (“social distance” and “social link”) and to analyze the influences of the social distance reconfigurations on the behavior of the first towards the second. Based on interviews with secondary school teachers, this chapter aims to show how do the influences of social distance reconfigurations change or not their oral language practices.
Between Oblivion and Memory, the Tightrope Archivist
Authors:   Chef du bureau du contrôle et de la collecte des archives publiques du Service interministériel des Archives de France (SIAF), ROELLY Aude , RANQUET Marie
Published: September 2021

This article investigates the notion of “the right to be forgotten” from the viewpoint of archival science in the French context. The positionning of the archivist with respect to oblivion is de facto ambiguous: he has to undertake his own part of responsibilities in the upbuilding of oblivion but he also is the one who, being the closest possible to the sources, could save somebody from falling into oblivion. If he works on the access to the sources motivated by a democracy concern of transparency, he is nonetheless at the same time a warrant of getting memory into peace.
The Role of Forgetting in the Commemorative Practices with the Example of the 750 Years of Berlin in the German Democratic Republic in 1987
Authors:   Université de Paris 3-Sorbonne nouvelle, GOUDIN-STEINMANN Elisa
Published: September 2021

The archives of the Berliner Haus für kulturelle Arbeit, an institution of the GDR charged in the 1980s to prepare the 750 years commemoration of the birth of the city Berlin, show that a lapse of memory played a significant role in the production of the past which characterized this commemoration, that we analyze, within the meaning of Paul Connerton, as a set of “commemorative practices” which form the social support of the common memory. The typical case of the GDR where the memory is shared with West-Germany is interessant, because these ceremonies are significant by their assertions but also by their silences. We show how a lapse of memory was built in the GDR, and how this lapse of memory prescribed by the Berliner House of cultural work aimed at developping a feeling of common membership, an identification with the east-german State and with the socialist ideology, while overlooking of broad sides of history. Some categories of analysis of the family memory are transposed: whereas in the case of the family memory, the rewriting of history obeys a tacit law which is that of the family unit to preserve, memory construction in the case of the Berliner House of cultural work also rests on a unit to consolidate: a national unit. The corollary of this instrumentalisation of the past is that it was necessary to describe a linear historical evolution, with a direction and a sense of history. The objective was to promote a teleological approach of history, guided by the principles of the historical materialism. However, we also show that marginal critical voices could sometimes appear, in order to denounce the aporias of this speech on the past.
Succeed and Flourish: Two Antagonistic Representations of Happiness
Authors:   Centre d’Histoire Sociale, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, PAWIN Rémy
Published: September 2021

From the analysis of a corpus made up with books explicitly dedicated to happiness, box-office successes and social surveys, this article intends to highlight two struggleling happiness’s ideas in France after 1945 : the social success and the self-fulfillment. What is at stake is a better understanding of the models. Moreover, the purpose is to perceive that the universe of happiness is structured by the fights between the definitions of happy life. The way of the happiness by the success is an agonistique and stiff model which bases in particular on the deferred enjoyment and wants the individuals to be happy once the success is guaranteed, whereas the self-fulfillment invites the actors to assume their own desires, to love, to have fun and to savor the path they are now browsing. To promote it, the self-fulfillment’s partisans frontally criticized the social success, considered inequitable and, besides, unfit of getting the happiness. The upholders of the success responded and also forged justificatory discurses to try to compromise their opponents. The phases of this conflict allow a better understanding of their influence, but the individuals can also reconcile them and decide to succeed in the professional world and to fulfill in their private life.
Be Happy at Work: Reorientation of Career Paths and Development of Human Potential
Authors:   Laboratoire CAFORE (Carrières, Formation et Ressources Humaines), Université Catholique de l’Ouest, Angers, FEUVRIER Marie-Pierre
Published: September 2021

Les propositions visant à former ou orienter un adulte confronté aux vicissitudes de l’existence, en s’appuyant sur la notion de bonheur, se multiplient. Les auteurs d’une revue sur l’apprentissage du bonheur mettent en avant que le bonheur se forge dans l’enfance et ne s’apprend pas. Certains auteurs indiquent que les personnes en fin de carrière semblent plus heureuses que les jeunes qui débutent, mais le mal-être au travail se répand. Peut-on encore apprendre à être heureux à l’âge adulte ? Si en France éducation et bonheur forment un oxymore, l’éducation initiale majoritaire vise un bonheur différé, via la promotion de l’exogène. Or, certaines forment éducatives ont privilégié l’endogène : cette voie pourrait-elle conduire au bonheur ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous nous appuyons sur certaines avancées de la psychologie positive, qui mettent en évidence la présence d’une part intentionnelle du bonheur chez tout un chacun (le bonheur ne dépend donc pas uniquement de facteurs génétiques et de facteurs extérieurs ou matériels). Des travaux en psychologie positive semblent redécouvrir certains principes déjà émis par des pédagogues visant la promotion de l’endogène, tels La Garanderie ou Montessori. Nous avons étudié, par analyse thématique, les récits biographiques de huit formateurs, qui mettent en avant leur histoire personnelle comme un des processus utiles à l’accompagnement des groupes d’adultes vers plus de bonheur au travail, et qui en dégagent des clés pour l’amélioration ou l’apprentissage du bonheur d’un adulte en demande. Les résultats nous indiquent que même si certains évoquent des succès matériels, tous sont davantage sur un plan de promotion de l’endogène par le développement de potentiels humains, en l’occurrence à l’âge adulte, pour retrouver le bonheur. La plupart d’entre eux occupaient un bon poste, mais n’étaient pas heureux. Ils décrivent, selon des voies différentes, comment ils ont retrouvé plus de bonheur au travail en réorientant leur parcours, notamment via un déclic (positif ou négatif), induisant une révélation qui les a amenés ensuite à développer certains potentiels et à changer de métier, ou exercer différemment leur métier. La réorientation de parcours d’adultes, couplée à la prise de conscience et au développement de certains potentiels humains se présente donc pour eux comme une voie de l’apprentissage du bonheur de l’adulte au travail. Ici, la voie d’un bonheur eudémonique semble privilégiée.
Les obstacles au succès de l’innovation organisationnelle et managériale dans les Petites et Moyennes Entreprises du secteur du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics au Burkina Faso
Authors: SOME Lucain
Published: September 2021

La présente recherche est basée sur une démarche qualitative s’appuyant sur l’exploitation de de données secondaires. L’objectif de la recherche est de déterminer les facteurs susceptibles d’influencer sur le succès de l’innovation dans les Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (PME) du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics (BTP) au Burkina Faso. Pour ce faire, nous avons émis deux propositions de recherche qui ont servi de fils conducteur. Il est ressorti que 77% des PME ont déclaré avoir innové en 2019 (SOME, 2019). Alors que la même étude a conclu à la contre-performance de ces entreprises. D’où la nécessité de faire la distinction entre les actions d’innovation et le succès de l’innovation. Pour nous le succès de l’innovation repose sur la transparence informationnelle dans l’entreprise et la valorisation des ressources humaines. Les résultats indiquent qu’il manque une transparence informationnelle dans les entreprises du BTP. Aussi, les PME du BTP manquent du personnel compétent, qualifié et sont peu motivés.  Du reste le manque de personnel compétent et motivé est confirmé par les Maîtres d’ouvrage (MO) et Maîtres d’Ouvrage Délégué (MOD). Nous deux propositions de recherche ont été validées.

Cependant, nous avons noté qu’il s’agit d’une recherche partielle des facteurs qui influencent sur le succès de l’innovation dans les PME du BTP qui pourraient être complétés par d’autres recherches.

Published: September 2021

Construction projects facing cost overrun is a common problem in developing countries, including Pakistan. This research paper identifies the major cost overrun factors faced by construction projects in Pakistan and also provides recommendations to reduce the cost overrun. To main objectives of this research is to identify the critical cost overrun factors and its controlling measures. To attain objectives, the first in-depth literature review was conducted, which helped to identify 33 common cost overrun factors. Secondly, a structured questionnaire was established among stakeholders of the construction sector to share feedback about the critical cost overrun factors. Results showed that stakeholders of construction projects (consultant, contractor, and client) have a different perception of cost overrun. After identification of major cost overrun factors, interviews were carried among mostly experienced stakeholders for mitigation and control measures. This research delivers a better understanding of major cost overrun factors. Also, it provides recommendations to stakeholders of construction projects as well as other professionals of Pakistan to control cost overrun.
Apropriação e mercantilização da natureza na produção de territórios turísticos
Authors:   EDUARDO SALINAS CHÁVEZ,   EDVALDO CÉSAR MORETTI
Published: September 2021

A produção desse livro tem como objetivo apresentar resultados de pesquisas focadas em turismo e natureza, na perspectiva de permitirem reflexões sobre o fazer das pessoas na produção de geografias. A ideia é contribuir com o pensar sobre as relações socioambientais presentes na produção dos territórios turísticos e os significados de natureza dialeticamente presentes no mundo moderno. O texto final está disposto em 12 capítulos, escritos por 23 autores de 7 países, com discussões que perpassam lugares e temáticas essenciais no processo de produção de conhecimento sobre o mundo moderno, sobre a produção da natureza e a participação da prática turística nesse processo. Uma parte dos capítulos debate sobre os aspectos teórico-metodológicos da relação entre natureza e turismo, e o papel deste último na produção de lugares cada vez mais separados da natureza, e que terminam por excluir parcelas significativas das populações locais e converte os elementos da natureza em produtos comercializáveis, em um contexto capitalista depredador e, muitas vezes, utilizando e se apropriando do discurso de proteção e conservação da natureza.
Nonlocal minimal surfaces are generically sticky
Authors: Valdinoci Enrico
Published: September 2021

Surfaces which minimize a nonlocal perimeter functional exhibit quite different behaviors than the ones minimizing the classical perimeter. Among these peculiar features, an interesting property, which is also in contrast with the pattern produced by the solutions of linear equations, is given by the capacity, and the strong tendency, of adhering at the boundary.
We will discuss this phenomenon and present some recent results.

El derecho humano al agua y saneamiento: La priorización del uso ecosistémico como un presupuesto necesario
Authors: Delgado Schneider Verónica , Zapata Hassi Juan Francisco
Published: September 2021

Lo que en un momento fueron proyecciones y advertencias, hoy se vuelve una realidad sufrida directamente por las comunidades. La última década en Chile, ha sido la más seca de la que se tiene registro, con un déficit de precipitaciones del orden del 25-30% a nivel nacional, y con un déficit hídrico generalizado en los caudales de nuestros ríos, que en las regiones de Coquimbo y Valparaíso alcanza el 70%.377 Tanto es así, que se le ha llamado megasequía, y —se afirma— sería la más grave de los últimos mil años,378 proyectándose para el periodo 2010-2050 un aumento en su recurrencia al punto que dejará de ser una condición transitoria, con el consecuente impacto en la disponibilidad hídrica, la fauna costera, el bosque nativo y los incendios forestales. Impacto este último que ha significado, en la actual megasequía un aumento de un 30% en la superficie quemada respecto del promedio histórico. Si a esto le sumamos una regulación constitucional y legal que pareciera no reconocer la vital importancia de este bien común y que, por el contrario, perpetúa una visión individualista sobre la administración de su uso y aprovechamiento, e impide —incluso en situaciones extremas y urgentes— tomar decisiones en beneficio de los seres humanos y del medio ambiente, el panorama se torna desolador.
Una propuesta de adjudicación de recursos sanitarios para la Nueva Constitución chilena
Authors: Zúñiga Fajuri Alejandra
Published: September 2021

Una de las discusiones emblemáticas que, en materia de derechos sociales, habrá de abordar la Convención Constitucional encargada de elaborar una nueva constitución para Chile será sobre el contenido y alcance del “derecho a cuidado sanitario”. La creencia de que una sociedad justa debe contar con una política equitativa y universal en salud es una creencia poderosa. Dicha política supone que todos los habitantes del Estado, independientemente de su clase social, origen étnico, discapacidad o género, tienen garantizado igual acceso a un conjunto de productos y servicios sanitarios básicos o, lo que es lo mismo, a un “mínimo sanitario decente”. Esta meta, desde hace mucho alcanzada por la mayoría de los países desarrollados y algunos en vías de desarrollo, sigue pendiente en Chile, incluso después de implementada la Reforma Sanitaria del AUGE el año 2005. Para contribuir, con este artículo, a la discusión constitucional que se aproxima, defenderemos en primer lugar, la tesis de que los criterios de racionamiento sanitario propios de la economía de la salud -que persiguen maximizar los recursos escasos- sólo pueden aplicarse en el nivel macro-distributivo sanitario y no en el micro-distributivo, puesto que de lo contrario resulta imposible alcanzar estándares aceptables de equidad en el acceso a los recursos sanitarios básicos. Dicho de otro modo, los principios de eficiencia sanitaria tienen un espacio donde sería legítimo darles cabida y otro donde, en cambio, su utilización resulta cuestionable por desigualitaria, todo lo cual es susceptible de ser regulado en una Constitución. En segundo lugar, una vez hecho el diagnóstico sobre la impertinencia de utilizar criterios de racionamiento de tipo ‘costo-beneficio’ en el nivel micro-distributivo, se propone un modelo de racionamiento de recursos sanitarios que permita implementar los cambios necesarios para alcanzar los objetivos de equidad y eficiencia que se pretende alcanzar con una Nueva Constitución. De la mano del análisis de la legislación comparada y de la literatura especializada podremos, finalmente, adelantar una posible propuesta de redacción sobre el “derecho a cuidado sanitario”.

Gambling in Taverns : Reflections on the Notion of Play in Persian Culture
Authors: Seyed-Gohrab Ali-Asghar
Published: September 2021

This article treats the notion of “play” in various cultural domains, ranging from exegesis of the Quran, to “mirror for princes” and medieval mystical poetry. The article emphasizes the importance of play for medieval court culture and how a distinction was made between mind games such as chess and backgammon and physical games such as polo. The intriguing aspect of such treatments of games is that they are connected to pleasure and pastimes where a strong fear of gambling exists. The article also briefly deals with the tensions between theological views on play and the popularity of various sorts of play at Persian courts such as chess, backgammon, literary riddles, and polo. While these are actual games in Persia, their poetic and aesthetic aspects are also discussed. For instance, many references are made to polo in an allegorical sense in which the polo ball becomes a metaphor for the head of the lover and the polo stick the hair of the beloved. The article concludes with an analysis of the notion of play in Islamic mysticism, especially in the works of the twelfth-century poet Farīd al-Dīn ʿAṭṭār (d. 1220).
Reading the Psalms as Torah for Social Ethics
Authors: Lim Bo H.
Published: September 2021

This study aims to theologically interpret the individual lament psalms in the first book of the Psalter (Pss 1–41). Reading the Psalms as Torah for social ethics combines two approaches to interpreting these psalms that have been perceived as dissonant or incompatible. Theological interpretation of the Psalms has focused on the devotional and instructional role of the final form of the Psalms for the community of faith. Sociological approaches to the Psalms highlight the socio-rhetorical effects of the Psalms upon their readers and hearers. Both of these views claim to read the Psalms canonically yet with differing ends. In this article I will compare how these two approaches have interpreted the individual lament psalms, and I will conclude with a proposal to harmonize them.
The Resurrection and Ascension of True Humanity in Luke-Acts
Authors: Johnson Andy
Published: September 2021

This article offers a theological interpretation of the resurrection and ascension accounts in Luke-Acts through a composite lens consisting of (1) second-century interests in the physicality of Jesus’s resurrection and ascension and (2) present concerns about ongoing White supremacy, issues that intersect at the site of embodied humanity. The focus is on Jesus’s contextually specific enactment of true humanity in Jewish flesh as Israel’s representative liberating king. As such, he rejects a beastly form of humanity contextually embodied in the first century by the emperor and contextually embodied today as “the imperial God-Man” (J. Kameron Carter’s term) cloaked in Whiteness. It is this form of humanity embodied by Jesus—in all its physicality and biographical specificity—that is raised by God from the dead and that ascends into heaven, while remaining the touchstone of true humanity. This gives the lie to implicit and explicit claims of White humanity collectively representing itself as the highest form of humanity.
Who Was Callicles? Exploring Four Relationships between Rhetoric and Justice in Plato'sGorgias
Authors: Johnson-Sheehan Richard
Published: September 2021

The Gorgias presents us with a mystery and an enigma: Who was Callicles? And, what was Plato trying to accomplish in this dialogue? While searching for the identity of Callicles, we gain a better understanding of Plato's purpose for this dialogue, which is to use justice as a means for staking out the boundaries of four types of rhetoric. This article argues that Plato uses the Gorgias to reveal the deficiencies of sophistic nomos-centered rhetorics and an unjust sophistic phusis-centered rhetoric, opening the door for a “true” rhetoric that he articulates in the Phaedrus and a universal justice based on virtue that he describes in the Republic.
"THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WORKING, AS AN EFFECT OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, IN THE TELEWORK REGIME IN ROMANIA "
Authors:   PhD professor, Valahia University of Târgovişte, Top Dan
Published: September 2021

The coronavirus pandemic accelerated the transition to online by 5 years. Although the IT industry has exploded in the last 20 years, Romania is still at the bottom of the European ranking on digitization, ranking 26th out of 28 countries. In Romania only in 2020 the Romanian Digitization Authority (ADR) was established. and a ministry of research and digitization has been set up and some interesting provisions appear in the government program, such as the introduction of informatics in primary classes. Statistics show that only 9.2 percent of jobs with earnings below the average wage in the economy could be done in telework. It is now more difficult to assume that there will ever be a return to normalcy, especially since the restrictive measures imposed over a longer period of time lead to changes in human behavior in such a way that it is impossible to predict to what extent once. what the crisis generated by Covid-19 will disappear will return to a lifestyle similar to that before this period.

Published: September 2021

Background Worldwide, office employees have experienced two novel phenomena during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown: working from home and reductions in their salaries. These phenomena have majorly impacted the lives of individuals as well as their families. The present study aims to measure the perceived stress levels among employees during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Pakistan.

Methodology A cross-sectional approach was used to collect data from a sample of 385 employees working in three different IT-oriented private organizations. A semi-structured, Likert-scale questionnaire was used, containing the 10-item inventory from the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). A sociodemographic profile, working parameters, and frequency of PSS inventory were presented in the descriptive analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was made to compare the stress levels of the two groups resulting from their workloads and reductions in salary.

Results An elevated perceived stress level (50.9%) was observed among the employees, showing a significant relationship with salary reduction and home work engagement (p<0.005). A strong negative correlation was observed (-0.860) for the salary reduction with PSS.

Conclusion Working from home and reductions in salary caused increased perceived stress levels of the employees working in private organizations. Salary reductions proved to be a strong stressor, causing economic disruption and inability to cope with financial burdens during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kripto Para Getirilerinde Haftanın Gün Etkisi

Published: September 2021

Bu çalışmada, kripto para piyasalarında haftanın gün etkisinin varlığı araştırılmıştır. Kripto para getirilerinde takvim anomalilerinin varlığına ilişkin yapılan ampirik çalışmalar incelendiğinde çoğu araştırmacının sadece Bitcoin piyasasına odaklandığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada ise Bitcoin’in yanı sıra Ocak 2021 itibarıyla hem işlem hacmi hem de piyasa değeri açısından öne çıkan toplam on kripto para analiz edilmiştir. Kripto para birimleri farklı tarihlerde piyasaya sürüldüklerinden dolayı veri setinde ele alınan dönem farklılık göstermektedir. Tahmin edilen kukla değişkenli EKK, ARCH ve GARCH regresyon modelleri sonucunda haftanın her bir gününün farklı kripto para cinsleri üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip oluğu tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular sekiz kripto para piyasasının etkin olmadığını göstermektedir.
Geçişkenlikte Kırılganlık mı Yoksa Belirsizlik mi Daha Baskındır? Türkiye ve Brezilya Borsaları Üzerine İncelemeler
Authors: YURTTANÇIKMAZ Ziya Çağlar , SADEGHZADEH EMSEN Hatıra
Published: September 2021

Küresel dünyada gelişmiş ve büyük ekonomilerde meydana gelen ekonomik değişimlerin tüm dünyayı etkilediği bilinen bir gerçektir. Bunun yanı sıra benzer özellik gösteren gelişmekte olan ülkelerin de birbirleri üzerinde etkileri olduğu yadsınamamaktadır. Dünya genelinde belirsizlik algısı, ülke bazında meydana gelen ekonomik ve politik riskler, sanayi üretimindeki artışlar ve faiz kararları ülke borsalarını yüksek düzeyde etkilemektedir. Söz konusu etkiler borsaların değerlerinde önemli değişimlere yol açarak büyük kayıp ve kazançları meydana getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada 1997:1-2020:12 dönemi aylık küresel ekonomik belirsizlik endeksi, ülke bazlı jeopoltik risk endeksi, nominal faiz oranları, sanayi üretim endeksi ve borsa endeksleri kullanılarak gelişmekte olan Türkiye ve Brezilya ekonomilerinde karşılıklı geçiş etkisi SVAR analizi yardımıyla incelenmiştir. SVAR analizi ile etki tepki ve varyans ayrıştırması sonuçlarında küresel ve ülkeye özgü risk unsurlarının borsalar üzerinde etki doğurmadığı ve etkileşimin boralar arasında daha güçlü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Özetle elde edilen bulgularda Brezilya ve Türkiye borsalarında geçişkenliğin yüksek olduğunu ve benzer yapıdaki bir ülke borsadaki dalgalanmanın diğer borsa üzerinde de güçlü etkiler oluşturduğunu göstermektedir.

Published: September 2021

Çalışma ile Sinop ili Gerze ilçesine bağlı Çağlayan köyü sınırları içinde yer alan ve köye adını veren Çağlayan Şelalesi ve turizm potansiyeli coğrafi bakış açısı ile incelenmiştir.
Yapılan çalışmalar neticesinde Çağlayan Şelalesi’nin bulunduğu Çağlayan köyünün ilçenin güneyinde, Boyabat, Durağan ve Dikmen ilçelerinin sınırında konumlandığı saptanmıştır. Şelale bölgesi Sinop ili ve yakın çevresine hitap edecek bir turizm potansiyeline sahiptir ancak henüz çok bilinmemektedir. Şimdiye değin bir turizm yatırımı yapılmayan bölgede arazi doğal yapısını büyük ölçüde korumaktadır. Çağlayan Şelalesi karayolu ulaşımının uygunluğunun yanında mevsimsellik de göz önüne alındığında trekking amacıyla kullanıma uygun olduğu gibi mesire yeri olarak da hizmet verebilir. Gerze’nin komşu ilçesi Erfelek’te bulunan Tatlıca Takım Şelaleleri turizm potansiyelini ölçmek için başarılı bir örnek olmasının yanında ilçenin turizm gelişimi bakımından önemli bir değer taşımaktadır. Bu bağlamda, koruma-kullanma dengesi turizm yatırımları yapılması önerilmiştir. Böylece yörenin zenginliğini vitrine çıkarması bakımından önemli bir çekicilik ziyaretçilerin kullanımına sunulması beklenmektedir.

2020 yılında dünyanın siyasal gündemine oturan, küresel siyaseti, uluslararası ilişkileri ve medyayı etkileyen II. Karabağ Savaşı, uzun zaman araştırmalara konu olacağa benzemektedir. Bu tarihsel olayı, yalnızca bir askeri operasyon olarak değerlendirmemek gerekir. Savaşın, bölgede politik dengeleri değiştirmesinden iletişimsel süreçleri ve söylem düzenlerini etkilemesine kadar farklılaşan boyutları bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, II. Karabağ Savaşı’nın medyadaki söylem yansımalarına dair bir araştırma yapmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda Habertürk ve CNN Türk TV kanallarında yayımlanan 4 tartışma programından birer program örneği çözümlenmiştir. Çalışmada retorik kavramı-tartışma programları ilişkisi odağında, II. Karabağ Savaşı içerikli program örnekleri amaçsal örnekleme yöntemiyle, içerik çözümlemesi ve retorik çözümleme yöntemleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye elektronik medyasının, olgusal gerçeğe sadık kalıyormuş gibi görünerek, aslında ciddi editöryal içeriği konuşmacıların retorik çarpıtmalarla takdim etmelerini dikkate almayıp, reyting kaygılarıyla biçimlenmiş “politainement” türü bir tartışma kültürü üretmeyi tercih ettiği gözlenmiştir.

İletişimteknolojilerindeki yeniliklerin insanların gündelik hayatının pek çok alanında etkili olmasıylabirlikte, bunların çeşitli toplumsal ve psikolojik etkileri de gözlemlenmektedir. Teknolojikgelişmeler beraberinde dijital dünyanın yaygınlaşmasına ve kolaylıkla ulaşılabilir olmasına nedenolmaktadır. Bu durum, insanları gündelik hayatta dijital sanal bir ortamda yaygınlaşan, toplumunher kesimini zaman ve mekandan bağımsız bir biçiminde kapsayan, yeni medya olarak daadlandırılan bir iletişim biçimine sevk etmektedir. Bireylerin dijital ortamlarda farklı uygulamalararacılığıyla katıldıkları bu iletişim ortamı beraberinde dijital kimlikleri ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Yeniiletişim ortamları küresel ağlar aracılığıyla hızlı iletişim özelliği taşımaktadır. Burada ortayaçıkan farklılaşmanın toplum ekseninde görünürlük kazandığı alan, sosyal paylaşım ağlarıdır.Sosyal medyanın da etkin olarak kullanıldığı bu dijital ortamlar kullanıcılara özgür bir ortamsunmakla beraber; dijital platformların gelişim süreci içerisinde insanlar kendilerini daha rahatifade edebilmek için yeni etkileşim ve ifade biçimleri geliştirmektedirler. Sosyal medyauygulamalarının sahibi olan şirketlerin veri toplayıcılığı bir yerde göz ardı edilerek, gerçekkimlikleri kullanmadan insanların fikirlerini özgürce ifade edebildiği bir ortam vadetmektedir. Busanal özgürlük ortamı gerçek kimliklerin kullanılmadığı ve insanların istediği rollerebürünebildiği, kendilerini belirli bir yere kadar sınırlamadan ifade edebildiği bir dijital dünyada;insanların ‘suretsiz toplum’ birlikteliğine dönüşmesine imkan sağlamaktadır. Bu makale ile; ilkdefa kullanılan ‘suretsiz toplum’ kavramını ilgili literatür aracılığıyla tanıtmak amaçlanmaktadır

The common practice in world-wide ports is that they have determined procedures regarding number of required tugs depending usually on most important factors such as weather criteria and size of vessel. This article presents various rules for some ports which is defined in their Safety Management System and criteria in choosing optimum number of tugs and optimum bollard pull. It is also described how various towage requirements can be assessed through the use of maritime simulators and which parameters are important and how the same can be obtained and assessed. General guidelines will also be defined in the article which must be taken into consideration for optimal choosing of tug boats. The science method used in this article is known as comparative analyses between computation and simulation on simulator; results are presented in figure 10.

Globalization is a significant factor for optimization of the existing transport chains. It is a major power for sustainable development of containerized transport, the relevant transport infrastructure and terminal equipment. The development of seaports and inland waterway connections became important part in global supply chain. The transportation models which are using multimodal transport service consist from maritime, port and hinterland parts. Choosing the appropriate strategy allows the shipping companies to reduce the transport cost and helps them to be more competitive on the cargo market. This article aims to identify the challenges and prospects for development of multimodal transport operations with containerized cargoes using of system approach to the each subsystems of the multimodal transport chain. To achieve the scope of the paper, research has been done on the global effects that big shipping companies contribute to the final transport cost; to the organization in container terminals and further influence on the local terminal operators; to the improvement of port infrastructure, including the number of offered services and implementation of innovations for increasing terminal efficiency. As a result, the main parameters for evaluation of the importance of one container terminal in the supply chain are defined.

Published: September 2021

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) and Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA) are commonly used to detect targets for collision avoidance. However, AIS cannot detect targets without AIS transmitters and ARPA has limitations due to blind sector and small targets may not be detected. Advances in computer performance and video-based detection generated much interest in developing intelligent video surveillance systems to achieve autonomous navigation. To develop a reliable collision avoidance system, we propose the use of a visual camera for real-time object detection and target tracking. Moreover, the system should follow the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) to avoid catastrophic accidents. In this paper only a part of the system is presented. For real-time object detection, the You Only Look Once (YOLO) ver. 3 convolutional neural network is used, and the target tracking filter based on a Kalman filter with built-in estimated relative position and velocity.

Some years ago, the SAMMON software tool box was introduced for “simulation augmented manoeuvring design, monitoring & conning”. It is based on the innovative “rapid advanced prediction & interface technology” (RAPIT) to simulate the ships motion by fast time simulation FTS with complex dynamic math models and to display the ships track immediately in an electronic sea chart for any rudder, thruster or engine manoeuvre planned by the navigator.specifically, the SAMMON planning tool will be shown in its opportunities for achieving new knowledge for teaching of ships dynamic and training of ship handling elements. That system represents the full information from ships’ manoeuvring documentation and from additional trial results squeezed in a ship dynamic model, capable of simulating environmental effects by using the RAPIT technology. The paper introduces the variety of opportunities of the training tools by presenting use case studies, e.g. For drifting under wind and how to get simple formulas for drift speed related to wind speed. Additionally, two complex manoeuvring strategies for a port arrival scenario will be compared for a ship with azimuth propeller to find out potential alternatives with less fuel consumptions and emissions.
The Regionalization Of European Security And Defense Policies In The Maritime Domain: The Black Sea Case
Authors:   Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy, Lutzkanova Siyana
Published: September 2021

The specific regional dynamics of maritime security environment in EU raise the question whether and to what extent the processes of “regionalization of security” need to be implemented within the principles of current CSDP (Common Security and Defense Policy) and European maritime security strategy. Joint civil-military concept of operations on regionalization of CSDP action in different regions like Saher Mali or Sahel Nigeria are good examples of tackling specific regional threats with individual regional approach based on the main strategic interests of the EU. The unification of policies based on international regulations in the maritime domain are examined in the context of the very specific regional aspects of the European national maritime spaces. Some examples of Black Sea maritime security issues are analyzed with the question to which extent basic assumptions of the current CSDP and European maritime security strategy are applicable to the challenges of the current security environment in this region. The levels of sustainability and resilience are connected to the processes of democracy development, some socio-demographic characteristics of the region and even cultural-civilizational aspects. Those assumptions are especially important in the context of state’s resilience capabilities for preservations of basic state functions in times of crisis occurrence and crisis management. Another point is the possibility to use the regionalization security process as “window of opportunity” to set new agenda for possible mitigation of tensions between the Black Sea EU members and non EU-members in the region.
