Collections of Memory Institutions: New Trends for Research
Authors: Pacevičius Arvydas
Published: January 2020

The publication features information on research done during the Bibliotheca Lituana project. In particular the focus is on collections of memory institutions, new perspectives on library and other memory institution, i.e. archives, museums, research. Modern library history has adopted relevant theoretical perspectives from social and cultural theory. Currently these perspectives incorporate not only the activities and collections of the aforementioned institutions but also the more widely interpreted information infrastructure, that do not have libraries as their main frame of reference. Problems faced publishing archival sources are also examined. It was determined that insufficient attention is given to research and publication of old catalogues, inventories and book listings. On the other hand a unified system and methodology for publishing of the aforementioned sources does not exist. We come to a conclusion that through new research paradigms, an interdisciplinary approach and change of thought in the archival, librarian and museology communities, we can start systematic research of libraries and other memory institutions. Their results would complement the pages of the continued Bibliotheca Lituana publications.

Influence of Religiosity on the Behavior of Buying Sports Apparel: A Study of the Muslim Market Segment in India
Authors: Baber Hasnan
Published: January 2020

The paper is aimed to study the influence of religiosity on the behavior of buying sports apparel in the Muslim market segment of India. The data was collected from 1000 Muslim respondents from four states: Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir. The paper has found that religion plays no role when Muslims buy sports apparel. They shop as any other religious person does. No other factor, even fashion and religious obligation, is influenced by religion, except for shopping enjoyment responsiveness, which is influenced by intrapersonal Islamic religiosity. The paper’s perspective in studying the religious influences will assist sporting apparel manufacturers to design new products that will meet the requirements of the large Muslim segment in India, which is neglected so far. It will help marketers to save their effort and energy which would be utilized for Muslim Population.

Defining interdisciplinarity and indentifying Research directions in Jani Christou’s Strychnine lady
Authors: Yerosimou Maria
Published: January 2020

Jani Christou was a major Greek composer, whose unusual, yet promising career was brought to an end after his untimely death in 1970 at the age of 44. His challenging and speculative output has intrigued generation of young music scholars; however, J. Christou’s work remains imperfectly and only patchily known and understood, especially outside Greece. This is partly because of the interdisciplinary nature of his late works which reduces the possibility of potential researchers who will academically establish J. Christou’s distinguished output. The aim of the present paper is to present and analyse parts of Strychnine Lady, a work composed in 1967 in order to propose research directions in an effort to confi rm J. Christou’s posthumous reputation.
Environmental attitudes and ecological anthropocentrism: a new challenge in environmental higher education
Authors: Miklós Attila
Published: January 2020

The human-centric nature of environmental thinking is a highly successful adaptation, which has biological, historical, cultural origins. The dichotomy of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism are what ultimately determine ecological attitudes. This nationally representative study presents how students in Hungarian environmental education bachelor programs view the human’s taxonomic position in the world (hierarchies, kinship), throughout evolution (determining possible directions, distancing from other organisms), the role of human power, and our rights of intervention in the environment. It shows what kind of knowledge students arrive with from public education, how they think about handling confl icts, and what impact their acquired knowledge during university years has on their environmental attitudes. It was found that at least two-thirds of students evaluated natural environmental processes, problemsand their consequences with anthropocentric preferences – in contrast to scientifi cally accepted theses.
Vietnamese Parents and Czech Nannies: Second-Generation Immigrant Children and their Educators
Authors: Souralová Adéla
Published: January 2020

Many second-generation Vietnamese immigrant children in the Czech Republic are brought up by Czech nannies. While their parents are incorporated into the labour market in order to provide their children with suffi cient economic capital for their education, the role of caregivers is relinquished to nannies. Both parents and nannies become important actors in the children’s educational process, from the stage of acquiring fi rst words, through primary school, to the moment they are admitted into university. This paper analyses the roles of parents and nannies in this educational process. It draws upon 60 interviews conducted with fi rst-generation immigrant mothers, second-generation immigrants, and Czech nannies. The perspective of all three actors are presented here in order to reveal the interviewee’s understanding of the role of education in the parent-child and nanny-child relationships. How is education manifested in the defi nitions of parenting and caregiving? The paper illuminates the educational strategies taking place outside the educational institution as being an inherent part of everyday life. Simultaneously, the article reveals the meanings of education for the immigrant families as being linked both to past experience and future expectations.
Poetical patterns in Nichita Stănescu’s poems
Authors: Roiniță Alina
Published: January 2020

Through our study we have established a potential pattern of analysis over the aspect of poetical language. The theme was determined by the purpose of implementing the particular linguistic model created by N. Stănescu, which we call the nichitastănescu pattern. We exemplified the model by identifying the compositional values and the structures that contribute to the creation of a linguistic frame built to measure the main semantics, through which the poetical language is internalized and aestheticized. We also use a specific poetical construction model based on the triadic analysis pattern proposed by the French semiotics group entitled Groupe  μ, in their collective work Rhétorique de la poésie: lecture linéaire, lecture tabulaire, published in 1977.                The value of this study consists in a detailed view over the textual dimensions of expressiveness and significations in the poetical language used by Nichita Stănescu. Throughout his lyrics, the named poet reveals the uniqueness of his specific poetical language in contrast with other Romanian poets.
How successful was Joseph Stalin in establishing Soviet Union as a superpower?
Authors: Majkowski Jakub
Published: January 2020

This essay will firstly address the extent of Stalin’s achievements in leading the course for domestic policy of the Soviet Union and its contribution towards maintaining the country’s supremacy in the world, for example the rapid post-war recovery of industry and agriculture, and secondly, the foreign policy including ambiguous relations with Communist governments of countries forming the Eastern Bloc, upkeeping frail alliances and growing antagonism towards western powers, especially the United States of America.

 

The actions and influence of Stalin’s closest associates in the Communist Party and the effect of Soviet propaganda on the society are also reviewed. This investigation will cover the period from 1945 to 1953.

Additionally, other factors such as the impact of post-war worldwide economic situation and attitude of the society of Soviet Union will be discussed.
Computer Aided Translation – possibilities, limitations and changes in the field of professional translation
Authors: Karpińska Patrycja
Published: January 2020

The aim of this article is to investigate the usefulness and applicability of CAT (Computer-Aided Translation) programmes in relation to the qualities (e.g. standardisation, predictability, terminology) of the translated text. In the study both scientific articles and translator’s forums are taken into account in order to establish advantages and limitations of commercial CATs. It appears that CAT programmes influence cognitively the translator’s work and even though they are supposed to facilitate his or her work, they may hinder or slow down the process of translation. These programmes are also applicable only in the case of certain types of texts, namely those which are standard and predictable and they fail in the case of texts which are linguistically or culturally-coloured. Furthermore, translators express numerous practical concerns regarding CATs (e.g. their price, instability). However, their use has become a very basic translation skill and it is no longer an advantage but an absolute necessity for anyone wishing to work as a translator.
An interdisciplinary genre in the Theological Literature: the spiritual autobiography and its landmarks for the Orthodox space
Authors: Morariu Iuliu-Marius
Published: January 2020

Aim/Thesis. Important for all the Christian confessions, spiritual autobiography has, unfortunately until now, been insufficiently investigated and highlighted by contemporary researchers.

Concept/Methods. Therefore, using information from sources like Confessions of Saint Augustin, but also recent works like the one of Saint Silouan from Athos, Saint John of Kronstadt or Nicolas Berdiaev, using these representative sources for the Orthodox sphere and other volumes, studies and articles, we will try to analyse this genre, to emphasise its interdisciplinary valences, and to show which are landmarks in the Orthodox sphere. We will also try to present its particularities here, its common points with other confessional spheres (Catholic or Protestant), and its practical importance for the Christian life. The information provided by the aforementioned sources will be investigated using deductive, analytic, and inductive methods (and also, the narrative one when the situation will request it).

 Results and conclusion. The investigation will show to the reader why, despite of the fact that is a peripheral genre of Theological literature, spiritual autobiography is important for investigation and it helps to create bridges between different spiritualties and investigation domains, but also its potential practical use.

Originality/Cognitive value. The analysis is also important because there we will show that, a long time before the rediscovering of subjectivism and subjectivity in literature (which happened in the 20th century, with Modernism), in the theological space this topic was not only known but also valorised in this genre. As methods, we will both use the deductive and the analytic, but we will also not neglect the narrative one.
EFFECTS OF INNOVATIVE APPROACHES IN CLASSES ON STUDENTS' SUCCESS
Authors: UZ Nurbiye , CIMENCI Hasan
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT

Concept: Drawing is the foundation of plastic arts. The drawing class is one of the art education fields where students focus on observation, questioning, research and developing imagination. It can be seen that artists too are presenting different premises after drawing, which is generally considered as a preliminary to a work of art, being acknowledged as art by itself.

Aim: The point of origin of this research is the inability of the students of sculpture departments to fully comprehend the importance of drawing with regard to the creating of a sculpture. The principal purpose is the explaining of the applied studies that are specifically designed to develop individual perspectives, drawing skills, personal lines and creativity of the students and the alternative methods of drawing which yield positive result.

Methods: Instead of repeating the knowledge that students obtained via traditional methods, studies are approached where they can reinterpret and develop their knowledge in respect of the time, technique, perception etc. Drawings that are presented in line with the main purpose via innovative approaches are evaluated with a qualitative research.

Conclusions: After briefly mentioning education and art education in this study, methods applied with an innovative approach in sculpture design courses are explained through selected examples. At the end of the studies, it was seen that the students were more active, eager to learn, courageous, questioning and every time they are applied, methods are resulted positively.
Types of emotional self-regulation of women who have suffered from psychological abuse in the family
Authors: Kocherhina Iryna
Published: January 2020

Aim. The aim of the paper is to present the results of research on the types of emotional self-regulation of women who have suffered from psychological abuse in family relations.

Methods. 140 Ukrainian women who suffered from psychological abuse in the family were interviewed. For the analysis of the obtained results, methods of statistical processing of data were used.

Results. It has been established that women who were victims of psychological abuse from members of their family may have different types of emotional self-regulation: "Emotionally unstable," "Adaptive," "Spontaneous." It is shown that women with emotionally unstable types of emotional self-regulation are emotionally unstable during psychological abuse in the family, which is manifested in their anxiety, tension, depression, self-criticism. It is said that women who are referred to as having the adaptive type of emotional self-regulation possess a sufficient level of neuropsychic stability and self-control and it has been established that women who are characterized by a spontaneous type of emotional self-regulation, when exposed to psychological abuse, have a low level of self-control, which indicates spontaneity and impulsivity in relationships with others.

Conclusions. Еmotional self-regulation does not act as a tool to cancel negative experiences, but it is a change in these experiences for other that helps to optimize their condition. Еmotional self-regulation and the ability to manage one's own psychical state for the preservation of mental health are important in the context of psychological abuse in the family. Furthermore, it is emphasised on different types of emotional self-regulation of women in situations of psychological abuse in the family.
Educación Superior y formación mercantilizada: ¿existe alternativa?
Authors: Vargas José Jesús Trujillo
Published: January 2020

En un mundo donde todo parece relativo, todo es cambiante y nada permanece inalterable, nos encontramos un contexto educativo-formativo-universal actual, donde se nos vende la existencia de una única manera de proceder para poder adquirir una determinada formación solvente acorde al futuro desempeño laboral, al que esta conducirá a quienes opten, o se les permita, acceder a esta. La retórica de los discursos neoliberales posee las suficientes trampas como para convencer a todos aquellos miembros de la comunidad educativo-formativa que anhelan un futuro laboral estable o a aquellos que, siendo parte activa de dicha formación (profesores/as), intentan cumplir los requisitos imperantes con el fin último de la mejora de su desempeño laboral, aunque en dicho intento elaboren acciones que van en contra de la propia esencia de lo que significa educar y/o formar. Este trabajo centra su atención en reflexionar, a raíz de una revisión bibliográfica sobre la temática, sobre los condicionantes ético-sociales insertos en este sistema formativo y las consecuencias que él mismo está teniendo no ya para el profesorado universitario en sí, sino para los futuros docentes que se están formando en la actualidad. Las conclusiones más importantes de este estudio giran en torno a analizar las consecuencias académico-formativas y la incidencia en las formas que se producen los conocimientos científicos. E, igualmente, se incide en las consecuencias sociales, económicas, formativas… que este tipo de formación traerá consigo para los educandos de estos futuros profesores/as citados/as y para el conjunto de la sociedad en general y si existe alternativa a dicho modelo.

Published: January 2020

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el proceso de autorregulación académica en estudiantado universitario, según las estrategias de aprendizaje, emociones y creencias motivacionales percibidas por este. Se desarrolló un estudio de tipo empírico, cuantitativo, ex post facto. La muestra estuvo constituida por 83 estudiantes de universidad del primer año de la carrera de Psicología de Corrientes, Argentina. Se aplicaron tres instrumentos de medición para evaluar en una primera instancia la motivación y emociones de cada estudiante antes y después de efectuar una tarea determinada y en un segundo momento las estrategias de aprendizaje percibidas. En función de los objetivos y teniendo en cuenta las variables y sus dimensiones, se ejecutaron ANOVAS de un factor y MANOVAS para el análisis de datos. En los resultados obtenidos, se encontraron diferencias significativas en la ansiedad del estudiantado según el sexo y la edad, y la concentración para cumplir una tarea según el sexo. También se observaron diferencias significativas en la tarea elaborada según el procesamiento de información del alumnado, la competencia subjetiva percibida y la emoción centrada en el resultado que este presentó. The importance of student self-regulation was observed which is consistent with the reviewed literature. Self-regulation was perceived as leading to the attainment of goals via the cognitive and emotional pathways. Future research recommendations include increasing the sample size as well as including other variables to obtain a broader picture of the self-regulation process.

Este estudio revisa la cadena de valores que existe en la institución educativa, que abarca desde las agencias supranacionales hasta la escuela, desde la perspectiva de la educación musical. El método se enmarca en el diseño cualitativo, según la teoría fundamentada centrada en el Método Comparativo Constante. Los resultados muestran que la decadencia de la institución educativa se replica en la educación musical y, lo más preocupante, las desigualdades socioeducativas surgen durante el diseño curricular. En conclusión, el enfoque sociomusical hace posible la superación de la crisis, ya que reconoce la complejidad del mundo cultural al promover una interacción sistemática entre la institución educativa y el resto de los grupos sociales en el mundo.
Assessment of lactobacillus bulgaricus strain in human intestinal samples by denaturation gradient gel electrophoresis
Authors: Dimitrov Zh.
Published: January 2020

PURPOSE. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the content of Lactobacillus bulgaricus in faecal samples of volunteers after consumption of yoghurt produced with selected L. bulgaricus strain. METHODS. Using Denaturation Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) the DNA band corresponding to L. bulgaricus was well separated from the DNA bands of other lactobacilli.
RESULTS. Faecal samples of all four volunteers consumed yoghurt contained a major DNA band indicating the presence of L. bulgaricus, unlike the faecal samples from the three volunteers no consumed yoghurt where the specific for L. bulgaricus DNA band was absent. The differences in the intensity of the electrophoretic band of L. bulgaricus are influenced by the individuality of the volunteers and the duration of yoghurt consumption. By help of DGGE it was possible to assay the presence of L. bulgaricus in faecal samples and on the base of the intensity of the specific DNA fragment to evaluate the dynamics of L. bulgaricus content during 10 days consumption of yoghurt. CONCLUSIONS. DGGE proved to be an applicable tool to monitor the presence of L. bulgaricus strains in human intestinal samples.

The workshop in this study focused on educating physicians about the best ways to write letters to the editor. Methods: We conducted a 90-minute workshop as a part of scientific conference. Participants were physicians and medical students who chose to join this workshop. We developed the following learning outcomes for participants: 1) to be able to explain falsificationism; 2) to be able to explain how to check author instructions; 3) to be able to explain how to write a letter to the editor. Results: Twenty-eight participants, including three medical students, attended the workshop. Participants' satisfaction with the workshop had a mean of 4.5 points out of 5 (standard deviation: 0.5). Nearly 80% of participants achieved the learning outcomes. Four participants' groups submitted letters within a month after the workshop, and all four were published. These four groups encompassed a total of 13 authors. In addition, none of the first author of each letter had previously written a clinical research paper. Findings and Discussion: This workshop improved not only the participants' knowledge but it also led to the concrete result of four published letters. Japanese physicians would be able to use this framework to write letters to the editor.
Exothermic properties of expanded graphite–calcium chloride composites for thermal storage
Authors: Cao Gaiyu , Sun Shimin , Zheng Maosheng
Published: January 2020

In this study, expanded graphite (EG)–calcium chloride composites were prepared, and their thermal storage and exothermic properties were studied. EG was obtained by heating expandable graphite (200 mesh, moisture 0·5%) in a muffle furnace at 340°C for 180 min. The EG–calcium chloride composite was prepared by mixing well and grinding an amount of calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl2·6H2O) with EG into powder in a mortar. The results show that parameters such as the proportion of EG, the dehydration temperature and the duration of dehydration of the composite affect the exothermic properties of the composite material distinctly, and the optimal exothermic performance of the composite is significantly better than that of pure calcium chloride. The exothermic value of the composite reaches the highest value of 1598·52 J/g at a mass ratio of calcium chloride to EG of 5:1 and a dehydrating temperature of 250°C for 2 h.
Study of PVA-based nanocomposite polymer gels containing weak aliphatic dicarboxylic acids
Authors: Kumar Rajiv , Kaur Simranpreet , Singh Navneet , Sharma Honey , Sharma Shuchi
Published: January 2020

In this study, nanocomposite polymer gel electrolytes have been prepared by using nanosize fumed silica (SiO2), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and weak aliphatic acids (oxalic acid (OA), malonic acid (MA) and succinic acid (SA) with different dissociation constant values) and characterized by ionic conductivity, pH and viscosity studies. The ionic conductivity of liquid electrolytes has been found to depend on the dissociation constant values of the acids, which has been explained on the basis of the inductive effect. The decrease in the ionic conductivity of electrolytes observed with the addition of a polymer has been explained as being due to the increase in viscosity. The increase in the conductivity of gel electrolytes with the addition of nanofillers has been explained by using the double-percolation-threshold model. Maximum room-temperature conductivities of 2·12 × 10−3, 7·3 × 10−4 and 5·8 × 10−4 S/cm have been obtained for nanocomposite gel electrolytes containing DMSO + 1 M OA, MA and SA + 10 wt% PVA at 6 wt% silica, respectively.
Propelling liquids on superhydrophobic surfaces with superhydrophilic diverging grooves
Authors: Dai Qingwen , Qiu Zhonghua , Chong Zhejun , Huang Wei , Wang Xiaolei
Published: January 2020

The autonomous locomotion of liquids on free solid surfaces is becoming common in many industrial applications. To propel liquids uphill, superhydrophilic diverging grooves at varying angles of divergence 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10° were fabricated on superhydrophobic aluminum surfaces in this study. Experiments on propelling liquids were performed on specially designed surfaces subject to different angles of inclination, and the correlation between propelling capacity and the angles of divergence is examined. The results show that the propelling capacity can be enhanced by increasing the angle of divergence. To propel more liquids uphill, a superhydrophobic surface with a superhydrophilic diverging groove at an angle of divergence of 10° is recommended. To achieve a greater uphill height, designing a surface with an angle of divergence larger than 6° is sufficient. Superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic properties are discussed, and the mechanism of propelling is described. Furthermore, the key influence factors on the uphill height are theoretically revealed.

Matematik okuryazarı bireylerin yetiştirilmesi ve matematik dilinin kullanılması güncellenen Matematik dersi öğretim programında önemsenmektedir. Çünkü matematiğin dilini bilmeden, matematiksel sayı ve semboller doğru bir şekilde yorumlanamayabilir. Bir dili kullanabilmek için ise o dilde okuryazar olmak oldukça önemlidir.  Bu önemden hareketle, bu araştırmanın temel amacı, sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının matematik öğretiminde, matematik dili kullanımlarının ve matematik okuryazarlığı öz yeterlik algılarının belirlenmesidir. Araştırma tarama modelinde betimsel bir çalışma olarak desenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını,  bir devlet üniversitesinin Eğitim Fakültesi’nde,  Sınıf Öğretmenliği lisans programının 1, 2, 3 ve 4. sınıflarında öğrenim görmekte olan toplam 270 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında verilerin toplanmasında, “Matematik Öğretiminde Dil Ölçeği” ile “Matematik Okuryazarlığı Öz yeterlik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Veriler, SPSS-Windows 18 paket programı ile analiz edilmiş, araştırmanın alt problemleri doğrultusunda Mann Whitney U-testi, Kruskal Wallis H-testi,  t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada matematik öğretiminde dil kullanımının cinsiyet açısından kadın öğretmen adaylarının; sınıf düzeyi açısından alt sınıfların lehine anlamlı olarak farklılaştığı belirlenmiştir. Matematik okuryazarlığı öz yeterlik algısı için ise cinsiyet açısından anlamlı farkın erkek öğretmen adaylarının ve sınıf düzeyi açısından anlamlı farkın üst sınıfların lehine olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada matematik öğretiminde dil kullanımı ile matematik okuryazarlığı öz yeterlik algısı arasında düşük bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, matematik dili kullanımı ve matematik okuryazarlığı özyeterlik algısı konularında öneriler getirilmiştir.

Basın Bülteni ve Duyurularında Etik Konusunun Örnek Olaylarla Eleştirel Olarak İrdelenmesi
Authors: ARSLAN Hicabi
Published: January 2020

Bugün sosyal yaşamı belirleyen en önemli merkezlerden birisi de medyadır. Bir çok insanın yaşamını medya aracılığıyla algılayıp, yorumladığı kabul edilmektedir. Medya denildiği zaman bilgileri ve mesajları saklamak, uzaktan iletmek, siyasi ve kültürel deneyimlerin güncelleştirilmesi yönündeki üç temel işlevi, bütünüyle ya da kısmen gerçekleştirme imkânı sağlayan tüm işletim sistemleri anlaşılmaktadır. Medya bilgilendirme, kültür aktarımı, eğlendirme ve toplumsal hale getirme, mal ve ürünlerin tanıtılmasında reklam aracı olma gibi işlevleri yerine getirirken; siyasi açıdan da propaganda, denetim ve eleştiri, kamuoyu oluşturma, tartışma ve diyalog kurma işlevlerini de gerçekleştirir. Basın açıklamalarının medyayla olan ilişkisine bakacak olursak, medyanın en önemli görevlerinden biri de haberle birlikte bilgi sunmaktır. Medyanın bu özelliğiyle günlük yaşamdan, sağlığa, siyasete ve ekonomiden, özel yaşama ilişkin pek çok bilgiyi geniş halk kitlelerine ulaştırmaktadır. Toplum, medya sayesinde bilgilenir ve aynı zamanda medya ile yön bulur; bu özellik medyaya haber yapımında büyük sorumluluk yüklerken, toplum oluşturulan vizyon veya gündem de birer medya ürünüdür. Toplumsal yaşamı bir düzene oturtmak için her toplum, kendi kültürel değerleri doğrultusunda yaşamın tüm alanlarını kapsayacak kurallar oluşturmuştur. Gelenek ve görenek kuralları, mesleki özelliklere göre belirlenen mesleki uygulama ilke ve kuralları sosyal yaşama belirli bir düzen sağlar. Bu doğrultuda, toplumlara ait çeşitli kültürel unsurların dikkate alınmasıyla ortaya çıkan ve genellikle yazılı olmayan ahlaki kurallar, sosyal yaşamın her alanına yayılır. İş ve meslek uygulamaları da belirli ahlaki yani etik kurallar doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilir. Her meslek alanının olduğu gibi burada da bir takım evrensel etik değerlerden söz edilebilir. Bu çalışmada, Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Halkla İlişkiler ve Reklamcılık Yüksek Lisans öğrencileri; K. Akın Toker, Orhun Demirci, Yasemin Yıldırım, Necdet Arıkan, Zeynep Kantarcı, Sefa Koç ve Musa Duman tarafından, “Basın Bülteni ve Duyurularına Eleştirel Mesleki Yaklaşımlar” dersi kapsamında yapılan 7 adet farklı içerikli örnek çalışma kapsamında, basın bültenlerinin haberleştirilmesi ve bunların gerçekte nasıl işlenmesi gerektiği, adli-idari birimlerin tutum ve davranışları ile kamuoyunun beklentilerinin nasıl olması gerektiği eleştirel bakış açısı ile ele alınarak irdelenmiştir.
Using Seismic Source Parameters to Model Frequency-Dependent Surface-Wave Radiation Patterns
Authors: Rösler Boris , van der Lee Suzan
Published: January 2020

The excitation of surface waves depends on the frequency-dependent eigenfunctions of the Earth, which are determined numerically. As a consequence, radiation patterns of Rayleigh and Love waves cannot be calculated analytically and vary with source depth and with frequency. Owing to the importance of surface-wave amplitudes for inversions of source processes as well as studies of the elastic and anelastic structure of the Earth, assessing surface-wave radiation patterns for different source mechanisms is desirable. A data product developed in collaboration with the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Consortium provides visualizations of the radiation patterns for Rayleigh and Love waves for all possible source mechanisms. Radiation patterns for known earthquakes are based on the moment tensors reported by the Global Centroid Moment Tensor project. These source mechanisms can be modified or moment tensor components can be chosen by the user to assess their effect on Rayleigh- and Love-wave radiation patterns.
Comparing Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps with ShakeMap Footprints for Indonesia
Authors: Pothon Adrien , Gueguen Philippe , Buisine Sylvain , Bard Pierre-Yves
Published: January 2020

A number of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) maps have been released for Indonesia over the past few decades. This study proposes a method for testing PSHA maps using U.S. Geological Survey ShakeMap catalog considered as historical seismicity for Indonesia. It consists in counting the number of sites on rock soil for which the independent maximum peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the ShakeMap footprints between May 1968 and May 2018 exceeds the thresholds from the PSHA map studied and in comparing this number with the probability of exceedance given in the PSHA map. Although ShakeMap footprints are not as accurate and complete as continuous recorded ground motion, the spatially distributed ShakeMap covers 7,642,261 grid points, with a resolution of 1  km2, compensating the lack of instrumental data over this period. This data set is large enough for the statistical analysis of independent PGA values on rock sites only. To obtain the subdata set, we develop a new selection process and a new comparison method, considering the uncertainty of ShakeMap estimates. The method is applied to three PSHA maps (Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program [GSHAP], Global Assessment Report [GAR], and Standar Nasional Indonesia [SNI2017]) for a selection of sites first located in Indonesia and next only in the western part of the country. The results show that SNI2017 provides the best fit with seismicity over the past 50 yr for both sets of rock sites (whole country and western part only). At the opposite, the GAR and GSHAP seismic hazard maps only fit the seismicity observed for the set of rock sites in western Indonesia. This result indicates that this method can only conclude on the spatial scale of the analysis and cannot be extrapolated to any other spatial resolution.
Evaluation of Antifungal Activities of Bee Venom Components Against Malassezia Strains
Authors: Kim Jin Hee , Park Joonsoo , Park Kwan-Kyu , An Hyun-Jin , Lee Yang Won
Published: January 2020

Background: Several studies about bee venom components have reported anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. Malassezia species are components of skin flora, and also associated with many dermatologic diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis versicolor, folliculitis, and atopic dermatitis.
Objective: To investigate the antifungal activity of bee venom components, melittin, and apamin, against Malassezia strains.
Methods: With 10 Malassezia species, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested with bee venom, and Zinc pyrithione as a reference antifungal agent.
Results: Whole bee venom, melittin, and apamin did not show any antifungal activity against Malassezia species at the concentrations tested.
Conclusion: Although bee venom do not have anti-Malassezia activities, it is known to have antifungal activities against other fungal strains. Therefore, further study should consider revealing the mechanism of antifungal activity against fungus and other possible target strains of fungi.
Narrativas audiovisuales transformadoras: el conflicto por el narcotráfico en México en la publicidad oficial
Authors: Prieto Mora Hermes Ulises
Published: January 2020

Durante los últimos 12 años (2006-2018), el grueso de la publicidad oficial del Gobierno Federal Mexicano ha sido utilizada para justificar la estrategia de combate armado al crimen organizado y para intentar mejorar la percepción social de las cada vez más cuestionadas fuerzas armadas. En este escenario, destaca una minoría de mensajes publicitarios que proporcionan un abordaje alternativo al conflicto por el narcotráfico y que establecen la base, desde la comunicación, para la puesta en marcha de políticas públicas que permitan superar la etapa de violencias por la que atraviesa el país norteamericano. A lo largo de este artículo se analizan esas piezas publicitarias contrarias a la estrategia comunicativa que ha sido empleada mayoritariamente hasta la fecha.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CASCADE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM BASED ON ENERGY AND EXERGY USING DIFFERENT REFRIGERANT PAIRS
Authors: KUMAR Vipin
Published: January 2020

In this study a comparative analysis on the basis of energy and exergy of cascade refrigeration system using different refrigerant pair, R13 for low temperature cycle (LTC) and R134a, R290 and R717 for high temperature cycle (HTC) has been done by mathematical simulation using Engineering Equation Solver (EES-V9.224-3D). The analysis of cascade refrigeration system has been carried out at different operating condition and result has been compared with effect of various operating parameters. The range of evaporator temperature of LTC is taken from -53oC to -70oC, which represents the most common operating condition in commercial applications. The range of condenser temperature of LTC is from -11oC to -2oC and evaporator temperature of HTC from -19oC to -10oC. Results show that the refrigerant pair R13-R717 is the best suitable refrigerant pair for proposed cascade refrigeration system in comparison to other used refrigerant pairs and R717 can be a interesting alternative refrigerant to R134a and R290 for high temperature cycle of cascade refrigeration system in commercial applications.

Mistrz „jakikolwiek”: „Nie chcę być opiekunem naukowym!” Rzecz o reformach szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce
Authors: Cierzniewska Ryszarda
Published: January 2020

Artykuł jest próbą uchwycenia przemian zachodzących w „systemie istotnościowym” Mistrza/opiekuna naukowego. Reformy szkolnictwa wyższego, wprowadzane w Polsce w ostatnich piętnastu latach, przyczyniają się do rekonstrukcji tej roli. Na naszych oczach dokonuje się zmiana nie tylko instytucji, ale całej grupy społecznej/zawodowej zajmującej się nauką i edukacją wyższą. Przywołana w tytule wypowiedź jest modalnością tego procesu, wynikiem poczynionej przez akademików refleksji, próbą ułożenia swojego życia w nowych realiach. Kategoriami uczulającymi w hermeneutycznej próbie zrozumienia zachodzących przemian są „rola zawodowa” oraz „jakikolwiek” odniesione do słabo obecnej w dyskursach naukowych i publicystycznych roli Mistrza. Stawiam pytania o powody i konsekwencje zachodzących procesów, a próbując je zrozumieć, odnoszę się do regulacji ustawowych oraz teoretycznych inspiracji.
