Authors: Rucska Andrea , Kiss-Tóth Emőke , Lakatos Csilla
Published: July 2022

We have had to adopt to the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in both private life and work. Besides uncertainty becoming general, our work and its environment have changed markedly in the last two years, also causing increased stress level. Our goal is to examine the changes of the employees’ mental health, stress level and well-being in a disadvantaged Hungarian region during three waves of the pandemic, and the sectors where mental strain has primarily occurred. Materials and methods: Over the background variables, we used the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the WHO Well-being Index and the Hope Scale (AHS-H). The online questionnaire was recorded in November 2020, March 2021 and November 2021. In the study, we attached great importance to the stress level the employees working on different fields were exposed to in the pandemic situation. The quota online data recording is not representative, but it reflects the attitude of the region’s population well. Results: The questionnaire was fulfilled by 515 persons in the second, 527 persons in the third and 590 persons in the fourth wave, with the average age of 36.5±13.4 years. 9 employee categories and 7 labour market statuses were defined; health care workers were examined separately. The employees’ stress level reached its peak in the fourth wave (17.82; 17.63; 19.84). The highest values could be detected among employees with lower educational level (unskilled workers, householders, workmen). Examining the labour market status, public workers, temporary workers and pensioners showed higher stress values. Conclusion: The pandemic has significantly transformed our life. We must cope with increased stress and anxiety every day, and the relevance of the competencies has been revalued in this situation. The prolonged pandemic and the associated limitations have worn the employees’ mental health that reached its peak in the fourth pandemic wave.

Published: July 2022

This study is conducted in order to investigate the trophic state index of Euphrates River flowing through the Samawa city. The present study includes monthly samples collected from three sites (S1: before the Euphrates river enter Samawa center, S2: is located in the Centre of Samawa city, S3: is located at the south of the second site) during the period from April to September, 2020. The study included measurement of some physical and chemical parameters such as Secchi disc, Chlorophyll-a- and total phosphorus. The results showed that TSI (Chl-a) ranging between 4.97-39.39, TSI (SD) ranged between 45.94-81.84, TSI (TP) between 5.81-21.82 and CTSI between 26.18-45.87 with maximum value in September and lowest value in July. The average physiochemical parameters (+-standard deviation) were 7.32 (0.42), 2627.22 (583.94), 5.69 (1.06), 9.5 (3.43), 5.15 (2.05), 1.70 (0.96), 0.57 (0.27), 157.5 (11.69), 1323.88 (259.41), respectively for pH, EC, DO, BOD5, NO3, NO2, PO4, TA, and TDS. Euphrates River is classified as mesotrophic by the CTSI. Statistical analysis showed that positive correlation (p-value 0.01) between the index and (Chl-a-, TP, SD, pH and total alkalinity) while other parameters did not have any correlation with the index. TSI can be used as a baseline for trophic comparisons between the numerous chemical and biological elements of rivers that are connected to trophic status.

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE: The N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) has been discovered as a significant gene in the progression of cancers. However, the regulatory mechanism of NDRG1 remained obscure in prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS: The miR-96-5p and NDRG1 expression levels were evaluated in PCa cell lines, prostate tissues, and validated public databases by real-time PCR, western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry. The function of miR-96-5p and NDRG1 were investigated by wound healing and transwell assays in vitro, and mouse xenograft assay in vivo. The candidate pathway regulated by NDRG1 was conducted by the next-generation gene sequencing technique. Immunofluorescence and luciferase assay was used to detect the relation between miR-96-5p, NDRG1, and NF-κB pathway. RESULTS: Overexpressing NDRG1 suppresses the migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro, and inhibits metastasis in vivo. Moreover, miR-96-5p contributes to NDRG1 deficiency and promotes PCa cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, NDRG1 loss activates the NF-κB pathway, which stimulates p65 and IKBa phosphorylation and induces EMT in PCa. CONCLUSIONS: MiR-96-5p promotes the migration and invasion of PCa by targeting NDRG1 and regulating the NF-κB pathway.

Published: July 2022

Background: Older adults with a cognitive impairment, including those not yet diagnosed, may have deficits in their physical function. Objective: We sought to determine the associations of cognitive impairment consistent with dementia (CICD) diagnosis status on handgrip strength, gait speed, and functional disability in older adults. Methods: The analytical sample included 8,383 adults aged ≥65-years without history of stroke, cancers, neurological conditions, or brain damage who participated in at least one-wave of the 2010–2016 waves of the Health and Retirement Study. A handgrip dynamometer measured handgrip strength. Men with handgrip strength <26 kg and women <16 kg were weak. Gait speed was timed across a 2.5-m course and those with slowness had gait speed <0.8 m/s. Participants with difficulty or an inability in completing any basic activities of daily living had a functional disability. The adapted Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status evaluated cognitive function. Persons with scores <7 had a CICD. Healthcare provider dementia-related diagnosis was self-reported. Undiagnosed CICD was defined as no reported dementia-related diagnosis but had CICD, while diagnosed CICD was classified as reporting a dementia-related diagnosis. Covariate-adjusted logistic models were used for the analyses. Results: Persons with undiagnosed CICD had 1.37 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04–1.80) greater odds for weakness and 2.02 (CI: 1.39–2.94) greater odds for slow gait speed. Older adults with diagnosed CICD had 2.29 (CI: 1.32–3.97) greater odds for slowness and 1.85 (CI: 1.19–2.90) greater odds for functional disability. Conclusion: Screening for CICD could be recommended when defects in physical function are observed in older adults.
Computing resource allocation scheme based on edge computing under augmented reality application
Authors: Yuan Yuxia , Xu Zengyong
Published: July 2022

Edge computing can place computing, storage, bandwidth, application and other resources on the edge of the network to reduce transmission delay, and bandwidth limitation for users. Therefore, task scheduling and resource allocation in edge computing have become a new research focus. In view of the dynamic nature of computing resources in edge computing and the computing power limitation of a single computing resource, this paper proposes a computing resource allocation scheme based on edge computing under augmented reality (AR) application. On the premise of ensuring the completion time of sub-tasks and the revenue of computing service devices, the method transforms the computing resource allocation problem in edge computing into the many-to-many matching problem between sub-tasks and computing service devices. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed through experiments, and the results show that the resource allocation time is relatively stable, and it is better than other state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of the edge calculation, task delay, and task violation rate.
Cross-layer greedy forwarding algorithm for VANET
Authors: Hammouche Y. , Merniz S.
Published: July 2022

In recent years, vehicular communication systems have taken an important place in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). These systems are designed on self-organizing networks, known as Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs). Their objective is to struggle against road safety problems and road traffic congestion by integrating information and communication technologies in road infrastructures and vehicles. VANET differs from other types of ad hoc networks by high mobility and very dynamic topology. Consequently, the design of an efficient VANET routing protocol becomes a challenging task. Many routing schemes with QoS (Quality of Service) have been proposed in the literature for VANET, to satisfy the performances required by the different applications running upon such networks. Cross-layer designs, which make it possible to exchange and share information between the different layers of the network, have shown to be efficient in VANETs. This paper proposes an improved version of the geographic Greedy algorithm as a cross-layer routing protocol for VANETs. The cooperation between the network layer and the lower layers involves three cyber-physical parameters: Speed, position and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The simulation results over the Network Simulator-3 (NS3) demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed solution in terms of end-to-end delay, throughput and packet delivery ratio.
Interval prediction of bending force in the hot strip rolling process based on neural network and whale optimization algorithm
Authors: Tian Xianghua , Luan Feng , Li Xu , Wu Yan , Chen Nan
Published: July 2022

In the hot strip rolling process, accurate prediction of bending force is beneficial to improve the accuracy of strip crown and flatness, and further improve the strip shape quality. Due to outliers and noise are commonly present in the data generated in the rolling process, not only the prediction accuracy should be considered, but also the uncertainty of prediction results should be described quantitatively. Therefore, for the first time, the authors establish an interval prediction model for bending force in hot strip rolling process. In this paper, we use Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) to produce a prediction interval model (WOA-ANN) for bending force in hot strip rolling. Based on the point prediction by ANN, interval prediction is completed by using lower upper bound estimation (LUBE) and WOA, and three indexes are used to evaluate the performance of the model. This paper uses real world data from steel factory to determine the optimal network structure and parameters of the interval prediction model. Furthermore, the proposed WOA-ANN model is compared with other interval prediction models established by other three optimization algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed WOA-ANN model has high reliability and narrow interval width, and can well complete the interval prediction of bending force in hot strip rolling. This study provides a more detailed and rigorous basis for setting bending force in hot strip rolling process.
Using machine learning to make government spending greener
Authors: Hopp Daniel
Published: July 2022

In the face of the Triple Planetary Crisis concerning climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, the global community is in dire need of quantitative, data-based approaches to inform its response and guide its path towards a sustainable and equitable future. Government spending and fiscal policy are key levers in shaping this response. In order to assess the potential for using machine learning to inform policymakers’ and governments’ decision-making and spending allocation decisions based on environmental outcomes, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) collaborated to produce a joint pilot study. The study uses official development assistance data (ODA) to train machine learning models to predict deforestation rates in six different countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Liberia, Madagascar, Solomon Islands, and Zambia. Initial modelling results were promising and the approach could prove to be a valuable asset to policymakers by enabling scenario analysis, where hypothetical budgets or spending allocations can be run through models trained on historical data to give insight on potential impacts on environmental indicators. Future research could be expanded to a pilot study with a national government using disaggregated budget data instead of ODA as model inputs.

Authors: Kobayashi Masamitsu , Sezai Izumi , Ishikawa Takako , Masujima Mariko
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Many patients with cancer experience challenges when they return to work (RTW) following cancer diagnosis and treatment. Psycho-educational support is important to facilitate the RTW process. OBJECTIVE: This scoping review examined published reports on psycho-educational support for patients with cancer who RTW. METHODS: We followed the preferred reported items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses statement and the framework of Arksey and O’Malley. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials database, PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCO), and ICHUSHI and performed manual searches. RESULTS: We retrieved 1,586 articles and retained 48 for analysis (published January 2000 to December 2020). Physicians, occupational physicians, nurses, social workers, and psychologists provide considerable support in hospitals. Delivery modes included individual, face-to-face, and workbook. Psychological support included emotional, stress coping, counseling, and knowledge. Educational support included information or advice provision, communication skills, problem discussion, and work planning. Employment status was typically the primary outcome. We included 50 measurement scales across quality of life, cognitive functioning and illness, self-efficacy, psychological distress, and fatigue. CONCLUSION: This review elucidated psycho-educational support for patients with cancer who RTW, and measurement tools for related effects. Based on the characteristics of the psycho-educational support revealed in this study, future studies should examine the development, intervention, and implementation of support programs for patients’ RTW.
Prevalence, characteristics, contributing factors, work sector, and impact of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among otorhinolaryngology practitioners in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Alshehri Sarah
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Otorhinolaryngology practitioners are known to be susceptible to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), but the incidence of WMSDs in Saudi Arabia has not been documented. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to establish the prevalence, characteristics, contributing factors, work sector, and impact of WMSDs among otorhinolaryngology practitioners in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 104 otorhinolaryngology practitioners in Saudi Arabia using a six-component questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, prevalence, percentages, and chi-square tests were used for data analysis. RESULTS: The response rate was 65.3%. The reported 12-month incidence of WMSDs was 72.7%. The neck region (67.3%) was the most common site of disorders, followed by the shoulder (49%). The elbow and hip (10.5%) regions were the least commonly affected regions. WMSD prevalence was related to gender, with men more affected than women (neck, shoulders, low back); age, with younger otorhinolaryngology practitioners more affected than older ones (neck, shoulder); work sector, with greater prevalence in government than other sectors (neck); and sub-specialty, with general otolaryngology reporting the highest WMSD frequency, followed by otology and neurotology (neck, shoulder, low back, upper back, knees). Most otorhinolaryngology practitioners experienced two to four episodes of neck, shoulder, and low-back WMSDs. The most significant risk factor for WMSDs was sustained posture for long periods of time (61.5%). The most common strategy implemented against WMSDs was modifying the practitioner’s position during treatment (58.6%). CONCLUSIONS: WMSDs among otorhinolaryngology practitioners in Saudi Arabia are very common, with the neck and shoulders regions most often involved. Improved professional skills and an understanding of the principles of ergonomics can prevent the initial development of WMSDs in otorhinolaryngology practitioners.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Healthcare personnel are among the COVID-19 risk groups. For this reason, increased absence from work affects the loss of labor. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the workforce loss amongst health personnel working in our hospital due to COVID-19 in a one-year period. METHODS: Workforce loss of healthcare workers was assessed via absenteeism and life expectancy. Loss of workforce for COVID-19 PCR positive or PCR negative but CT findings compatible with COVID-19 and personnel with high-risk exposure for COVID-19 were determined with absenteeism. Healthcare personnel who passed away due to COVID-19 was determined with the consideration of the retirement age and expected life years. RESULTS: Total lost time from work was 14635 days (excluding deaths). Loss of workforce rates resulting from COVID-19 positivity for male employees was greater in comparison to the results for females (p = 0.018). High-risk exposure of healthcare personnel working in clinical sciences was higher than those in other departments (p < 0.001). Total loss in workforce for 3 people passed away was 14 years 5 months, and total life expectancy was 64 years. Healthcare personnel under the age of 40 had less absenteeism than those over 40 years (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: It was observed that all occupational groups working at the hospital were impacted by COVID-19. The two most important factors that influenced absenteeism were the reason for being affected (positivity and high risk) and age. Absenteeism and daily case tracing of healthcare personnel working on the frontlines will aid in both the pandemic control and management of workload for those left behind.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease, causing neurodegeneration and demyelination of the central nervous system through autoimmune mechanisms, and is a major cause of non-traumatic disabilities in youths. Some studies have shown the higher plasma activity of Von-Willebrand Factor in the active phase of MS. However, we could not find any study reporting co-occurrence of VWD and MS. Case Presentation and Intervention: In this case report, we present a woman with VWD who had optic neuritis 8 years ago and a new onset right-side hemiparesis. She was finally diagnosed as a new case of MS. Conclusion: There is a case of both VWD and MS; however, further investigation is needed regarding the association of VWD and MS
ПОРЯДОК РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ВІРТУАЛЬНИХ АКТИВІВ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: ГРИЦАЙ Сергій
Published: July 2022

У статті розглядається встановлений Законом України «Про віртуальні активи» порядок реалізації віртуальних активів. З появою та розвитком Інтернет-комерції виникла потреба в новому засобі розрахун- ків для обслуговування такого формату торгівлі, здатному прискорити процес розрахунків та платежів та, відповідно, мінімізувати тимчасові та вартісні перешкоди на шляху економічного зростання. Таким засобом стали електронні гроші, що з’явилися на останніх етапах еволюції платіжної системи і в Україні. Відомо, що будь-яке нововведення спочатку сприймається невеликою частиною суспільства. Тільки піс- ля того, як інновацію починає використовувати більшість людей, процес розповсюдження набуває більш масштабного характеру на рівні держави та зокрема її регуляторів. Електронні гроші не стали винятком, виступаючи індикатором необхідної трансформації традиційної системи банківських безготівкових розрахунків та платежів, що продемонстрував нездатність електронних банківських систем задовольняти потреби більшості інформаційного суспільства. Після легітимізації електронних грошей до форми безготівкових грошей на фоні високого ризику використання, все ж таки попит на застосування електронних грошей у розрахунках продовжував зростати, і разом з цим вже почав підвищуватися і інтерес до криптовалют, що свідчить про потребу економічних суб’єктів до цифровізації операцій та їх готовність до цього. З огляду на це, на сьогодні, одним із стратегічних пріоритетів держави стає підвищення ефективності фінансової системи шляхом розвитку банківських послуг за рахунок інтеграції цифрових фінансових технологій. Зрозуміло, що світове майбутнє платіжної сфери бачиться за інструментами цифрового покоління, які нині, можна констатувати, що перебувають у початковій стадії становлення. Верховна Рада України прийняла 17.02.2022 року Закон України «Про віртуальні активи» № 2074-IX. Який був 15.03.2022 року підписаний Президентом України, після врахованих змін, згідно його раніше поданих пропозицій. Мета статті полягає у проведенні дослідження на встановлення особливостей державних механізмів реалізації віртуальних активів в Україні, регламентованих Законом 2074. За результатами дослідження можна зробити висновок, що реалізація віртуальних активів у правовому полі України можлива виключно через посередника, а саме постачальника послуг з обігу віртуальних активів: а). при процедурі прямого продажу, – що має дозвіл на надання посередницьких послуг, пов’язаних з віртуальними активами; б). при процедурі обміну, – що має дозвіл на надання операцій з обміну віртуальних активів на інші віртуальні активи та валютні цінності.
Changes of biochemical indexes of blood of high-performance cows are at subclinical ketosisand its effect on milk productivity
Authors: Karavansky M. O. , Rud V. O. , Tarasenko L. O.
Published: July 2022

The article provides data on changes in biochemical indicators of blood serum of high-yielding cows under conditions of subclinical ketosis and its effect on milk's physical and chemical composition. The decrease in glucose and insulin concentrations mediates the main metabolic changes necessary to stabilize blood glucose levels, which include an increase in the rate of gluconeogenesis, a decrease in lipogenesis and an increase in the release of nonesterified fatty acids from fat, an increase in the uptake and metabolism of fatty acids in hepatocyte mitochondria, and excessive formation of ketone bodies. Fatty acids and ketone bodies are used as an alternative source of energy in the heart, kidney, skeletal muscle, and mammary glands to conserve glucose further and restore energy balance. However, cows that do not undergo the necessary metabolic adaptations are susceptible to hyperketonemia. Hypoglycemia, increased activity of enzymes, and increased activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases were detected in sick animals by two and three times, respectively, compared to healthy animals. The total bilirubin content in sick cows' blood serum increased three times compared to the indicators of healthy animals. An increase in milk fat (up to 5 %), 1.3 times more than in healthy animals, and a decrease in total protein (up to 3.11 %). The number of somatic cells in the average milk sample of sick animals was 349 thousand/cm3 and 90 thousand/cm3 in healthy ones, which significantly worsens milk quality. The increase in the number of somatic cells in the milk of animals suffering from subclinical ketosis is due to a decrease in both the general resistance of the body and the ability of macrophages to phagocytosis; with ketonemia, a significant amount of histamine is formed, which leads to inflammatory processes of the mammary gland; the ability of leukocytes to migrate to the foci of inflammation decreases, which determines the protracted course of the disease.

Published: July 2022

The work aims to conduct retrospective studies of intestinal yersiniosis in cats in the Chernihiv region. In order to establish the spread of intestinal yersiniosis among cats in the Chernihiv region, 225 animals were spontaneously selected for the study, which had a history of the various clinical picture, but the vast majority registered diarrhea. The animals were different in age, sex, breed, and outbred. Flushes from the mucous membranes of the mouth and intestines, as well as feces and urine, were examined. To isolate the pathogen of yersiniosis, the selected material (feces) before the study was subjected to “cold enrichment” followed by sowing on a yersiniosis nutrient medium. Incubation was carried out at 26 °C for two days. Studies on identifying the pathogen were performed following the “Determinant of Bergi bacteria.” Verifying intestinal yersiniosis diagnosis was done by detecting yersiniosis antibodies, which are used in RA standard yersiniosis antigens (O:3; O:6.30; O:9). RA production was performed by the macro method by the classical method. In order to determine the pathogenicity of isolates of Y. enterocolitica, white mice were infected according to standard procedures. The antibody titer of 1:200 and higher was considered significant concerning the diagnosis of the disease. Sowing of washes from the intestines of animals was carried out on a yersinic nutrient medium LLC “Pharmactive.” Additional general clinical blood and urine tests were performed on all animals in the cultures isolated from the causative agent of intestinal yersiniosis. In our study for 2019–2021, 87 animals with intestinal yersiniosis from specific territorial centers of the Chernihiv region were identified. The increase in the incidence rate of intestinal yersiniosis in cats in the Chernihiv region may be due to the landscape-climatic features of the region, which are changing the latter. Cats under one year and two to three years of age are more prone to intestinal yersiniosis than animals over nine, with a reasonably low incidence. Females were 2.6 times more likely to develop the disease than males. Most infections were caused in females of Y. enterocolitica by serovar O:3 and accounted for 32.5 %, and in males by serovar O:9 (20 %), or a combination thereof. Serovar O:6.30 caused the disease in only four cases (5 %), three of which were reported in females. However, more positive reactions were detected with O:3 antigens and accounted for 41.25 % of the total number of subjects. Clinical signs of intestinal yersiniosis are depression, anorexia, vomiting, dehydration, hyperthermia, enteritis, diarrhea, tenesmus, rarely otitis, paraproctitis, abdominal wall pain, bronchospasm, and nephritis, nephrosis, endometritis, infertility, lymphadenitis, lymphadenitis.

Published: July 2022

This paper identifies the spatial relationship between dog ownership and the property crime rate in New York City. This zip-code level study reveals that the dog ownership rate in 2019 positively correlates with the crime rate in past three years (2016-2018). It also finds that areas with high poverty rates, high proportions of Asian and Black people, and larger households (more than two) have lower dog-ownership rates than their counterparts. Areas with denser sidewalks also correlate with high dog-ownership rates. The finding underscores the role of dogs in increasing the feeling of safety in high crime rate areas.

UNDİNE FİLMİNİN SU İMAJLARINDAN HAREKETLE SIVI ALGILANIMIN İMKÂNINI TARTIŞMAK
Authors: Çelik Tülay
Published: July 2022

Bu çalışma, Gilles Deleuze'ün Hareket-İmaj adlı eserinde ortaya koyduğu sıvı algılanım ve kökensel dünya kavramları bağlamında Undine (Christian Petzold, 2020) filminin su imajlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Su imajlar, suyun görüntüsünü ve suyun hareketini içeren imajlar olarak tanımlanmıştır. Karanın katılığının karşısına suyun akışkanlığını koyan, birçok farklı bakış noktasına sahip olabilen merkezsiz bu imajlar, alışılmadık bir etkileşimi mümkün kılmakta, aynı zamanda su dünyasının kökensel izlerini hatırlatmaktadır. Dişi bir su perisi olarak tanımlanabilecek Undine'nin hikayesi, bugüne kadar Petzold gibi birçok farklı sanatçıya ilham kaynağı olmuştur. Bunlar arasında Ingeborg Bachmann'ın "Undine Gidiyor" adlı hikâyesi, özne-nesne geçişlerine izin veren yapısıyla Undine anlatılarını ters yüz ettiği için önemli bir yere sahiptir. Petzold, filminin senaryosunu yazarken bu öyküden etkilendiğini dile getirmektedir. Bununla birlikte Delezue de hareket imajın krizine işaret ederken edebiyattaki yeni anlatı tarzlarının sinema üzerindeki etkisinden bahsetmektedir. Tüm bu bağlamlardan hareketle, çalışmada şu soruların yanıtı aranmıştır: Bachamnn'ın öyküsünün Petzold'daki karşılığı bizi hangi imajlara götürür? Filmin hâkim göstergesi olan sıvı algılanımın belirsiz bir referans merkezine göre değişen akışkan imajları ve kökensel bir dünya olarak suyun imajları, Undine filmine öyküdekine benzer bir açılım sağlar mı? Bu sorulardan yola çıkarak filmde su imajların açtığı özgürlük alanı incelenmiş, Deleuze'ün kitabında ele aldığı filmlerle olan kesişmeler ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak, Undine filmi ile Deleuze'ün kavramları arasında yeni ilişkiler kurmayı deneyen bu çalışmada üç farklı ilişki ekseni kurulmuştur. Bunlardan ilki filmin renk-imajlarının sıvı algılanım ile ilişkisini; ikincisi Delezue'ün kitabında sıvı algılanım kavramı çerçevesinde değinmediği Undine filmine özgü bir bağlantı olarak kökensel dünya-itki-imaj-sıvı algılanım ilişkisini; üçüncüsü, filmdeki sıvı algılanımın, diğer hareket imaj kategorileri ve onların göstergeleriyle kurduğu ilişkiyi içermektedir. Bu üç eksen, çalışmanın problematiği bağlamında Undine filminin kendine özgü evrenini açmamıza ve filmin su imajlarını tartışmamıza imkân vermiştir.
DARK CINEMATOGRAPHY AS AN ELEMENT OF POSTMODERN CONSUMPTION: THE POSTMODERN EXTENSIONS OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF DEATH IN THE CINEMA INDUSTRY
Authors: İzmir Onur , Sönmez Gülen
Published: July 2022

Changes in the value systems of contemporary societies resulted in new interpretations and the redefinition of the values, norms, and traditions. These changes made various impacts on personal meaningfulness and people became more vulnerable to death after attributions of the meanings to death, as many other things, had been removed from the social domain to the individual domain. In the context of this study, a new term called dark cinematography has been coined. This study aims to understand the motives behind the consumption of the dark products of cinema industry and seeks the postmodern extensions of the sociology of death in the cinema industry. Dark cinematography is defined as the supply and consumption of the movies in the cinema industry in which elements related to real or commodified death, suffering, and macabre events are made visible from an artistic perspective based on a plot and presented for the interests of the (dark) audience. Dark cinematography is a postmodern tool to cope with death and provides individuals a unique chance for the reconceptualization, neutralization, and control of it.
INTERTEXTUALİTY İN ASGHAR FARHADİ’S THE SALESMAN
Authors: Hashemipour Saman
Published: July 2022

Farhadi’s The Salesman, which won the Best Screenplay award at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and the Best Foreign Language Film in the 89th Academy Awards, got universal acclaim and behooved for academic debates. The intertextual references in The Salesman optimized with the film’s explicit references to Arthur Miller’s drama play, The Death of a Salesman. However, the director, Asghar Farhadi, includes more subtle intertextual references to attract the audience to some masterpieces of art. This study introduces referenced sources to emphasize parallels between Farhadi’s film and other literary and artistic works to determine the central themes of the movie in order to evaluate the protagonist and antagonist’s actions thoroughly and accurately. Out of The Death of a Salesman, the film establishes intertextual relations with plays such as Hamlet by Shakespeare and Out at Sea by Slawomir Mrozek, “The Cow” —a short story—by Gholam-Hossein Saedi, Gilemard—a novel—by Bozorg Alavi, and movies such as Shame by Ingmar Bergman and The Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola. These intertextual relations are the film’s central conflict that should be evaluated in the realm of the challenge between tradition and modernity. In addition, of course, various manifestations of such resistance are reflected in the facedown between the past and the future.
