Stereophotogrammetry of clouds observed during T-REX
Authors: Romatschke Ulrike , Grubišić Vanda
Published: June 2021

Stereophotogrammetric images collected during the Terrain-induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX), which took place in Owens Valley, California, in the spring of 2006, were used to track clouds and cloud fragments in space and time. We explore how photogrammetric data complements other instruments deployed during T-REX, and how it supports T-REX objectives to study the structure and dynamics of atmospheric lee waves and rotors. Algorithms for camera calibration, automatic feature matching, and 3D positioning of clouds were developed which enabled the study of cloud motion in highly turbulent mountain wave scenarios.The dynamic properties obtained with photogrammetric tools compare well with data collected by other T-REX instruments. In a mild mountain wave event, the whole life cycle of clouds moving through a lee wave crest was tracked in space and time showing upward and downward motion at the upstream and downstream side of the wave crest, respectively. During strong mountain wave events the steepening of the first lee wave as it developed into a hydraulic jump was tracked and quantified. Vertical cloud motion increased from ~2 m/s to 4 m/s and horizontal cloud motion decreased from 20 m/s to 16 m/s with the development of the hydraulic jump. Clouds at distinct vertical layers were tracked in other mountain wave events: moderate southerly flow was observed in the valley (~8 m/s), westerly motion of the same magnitude at the Sierra Nevada mountain crest level, and westerlies with speeds of over 20 m/s at even higher altitudes.
The Evolution of Data Sharing Practices in the Psychological Literature
Authors: Neve Judith , Rousselet Guillaume A
Published: June 2021

Sharing data has many benefits. However, data sharing rates remain low, for the most part well below 50%. A variety of interventions encouraging data sharing have been proposed. We focus here on editorial policies. Kidwell et al. (2016) assessed the impact of the introduction of badges in Psychological Science; Hardwicke et al. (2018) assessed the impact of Cognition’s mandatory data sharing policy. Both studies found policies to improve data sharing practices, but only assessed the impact of the policy for up to 25 months after its implementation. We examined the effect of these policies over a longer term by reusing their data and collecting a follow-up sample including articles published up until December 31st, 2019. We fit generalized additive models as these allow for a flexible assessment of the effect of time, in particular to identify non-linear changes in the trend. These models were compared to generalized linear models to examine whether the non-linearity is needed. Descriptive results and the outputs from generalized additive and linear models were coherent with previous findings: following the policies in Cognition and Psychological Science, data sharing statement rates increased immediately and continued to increase beyond the timeframes examined previously, until reaching close to 100%. In Clinical Psychological Science, data sharing statement rates started to increase only two years following the implementation of badges. Reusability rates jumped from close to 0% to around 50% but did not show changes within the pre-policy nor the post-policy timeframes. Journals that did not implement a policy showed no change in data sharing rates or reusability over time. There was variability across journals in the levels of increase, so we suggest future research should examine a larger number of policies to draw conclusions about their efficacy. We also encourage future research to investigate the barriers to data sharing specific to psychology subfields to identify the best interventions to tackle them.
What makes a life meaningful? Folk intuitions about the content and shape of meaningful lives.
Authors: Fuhrer Joffrey , Cova Florian
Published: June 2021

It is often assumed that most people want their life to be “meaningful”. But what exactly does this mean? Though numerous researches have documented which factors lead people to experience their life as meaningful and people’s conceptions about the best ways to secure a meaningful life, investigations in people’s concept of meaningful life are scarce. In this paper, we investigate the folk concept of a meaningful life by studying people’s third-person attribution of meaningfulness. We draw on hypotheses from the philosophical literature, and notably on the work of Susan Wolf (Study 1) and Antti Kauppinen (Study 2). In Study 1, we find that individuals who are successful, competent, and engaged in valuable and important goals are considered to have more meaningful lives. In Study 2, we find that the meaningfulness of a life did not depend only on its components, but also on the order in which these elements were ordered to form a coherent whole (the “narrative shape” of this life). Additionally, our results stress the importance of morality in participants’ assessments of meaningfulness. Overall, our results highlight the fruitfulness of drawing on the philosophical literature to investigate the folk concept of meaningful life.
jsPsych Solutions for Vision Science
Authors: Liao Ming-Ray , Grindell James , Anderson Brian A.
Published: June 2021

jsPsych is a useful open-source library for building browser-based behavioral experiments over the internet. However, vision science experiments involve unique considerations that are not well-accommodated by existing resources within jsPsych. In the present article, we provide a brief overview of our solutions to challenges such as response-dependent stimulus displays and accurate and flexible stimulus presentation within a web browser. Our solutions, which include freely-available functions and code accessible to other researchers, will focus on the jsPsych-JATOS workflow. The implementation of these solutions will allow vision scientists to make better use of jsPsych-JATOS and the benefits that it offers, including significant flexibility in hosting browser-based experiments in-house (i.e., without relying on a fee-for-service model) with broad compatibility across recruitment services (e.g., Amazon MTurk, SONA, and Prolific).
Holistic face processing is influenced by non-conscious visual information
Authors: Jin Haiyang , Oxner Matt , Corballis Paul Michael , Hayward William
Published: June 2021

Holistic face processing has been widely implicated in conscious face perception. Yet, little is known about whether holistic face processing occurs when faces are processed unconsciously. The present study used the composite face task and continuous flash suppression (CFS) to inspect whether the processing of target facial information (the top half of a face) is influenced by irrelevant information (the bottom half) that is presented unconsciously. Results of multiple experiments showed that the composite effect was observed in both the monocular and CFS conditions, providing the first evidence that the processing of top facial halves is influenced by the aligned bottom halves no matter whether they are presented consciously or unconsciously. However, much of the composite effect for faces without masking was disrupted when bottom facial parts were rendered with CFS. These results suggest that holistic face processing can occur unconsciously, but also highlight the significance of holistic processing of consciously presented faces.
Reinforcement Learning Based Decision Support Tool For Epidemic Control
Authors: CHADI Mohamed-Amine , MOUSANNIF Hajar
Published: June 2021

Rationale: Covid-19 Is Certainly One Of The Worst Pandemics Ever. In The Absence Of A Vaccine, Classical Epidemiological Measures Such As Testing In Order To Isolate The Infected People, Quarantine And Social Distancing Are Ways To Reduce The Growing Speed Of New Infections As Much As Possible And As Soon As Possible, But With A Cost To Economic And Social Disruption. It Is Therefore A Challenge To Implement Timely And Appropriate Public Health Interventions. Objective: This Study Investigates A Reinforcement Learning Based Approach To Incrementally Learn How Much Intensity Of Each Public Health Intervention Should Be Applied At Each Period In A Given Region. Methods: First We Define The Basic Components Of A Reinforcement Learning (Rl) Set Up (I.E., States, Reward, Actions, And Transition Function), This Represents The Learning Environment For The Agent (I.E., An Ai-Model). Then We Train Our Agent Using Rl In An Online Fashion, Using A Reinforcement Learning Algorithm Known As Reinforce. Finally, A Developed Flow Network, Serving As An Epidemiological Model Is Used To Visualize The Results Of The Decisions Taken By The Agent Given Different Epidemic And Demographic State Scenarios. Main Results: After A Relatively Short Period Of Training, The Agent Starts Taking Reasonable Actions Allowing A Balance Between The Public Health And Economic Considerations. In Order To Test The Developed Tool, We Ran The Rl-Agent On Different Regions (Demographic Scale) And Recorded The Output Policy Which Was Still Consistent With The Training Performance. The Flow Network Used To Visualize The Results Of The Simulation Is Considerably Useful Since It Shows A High Correlation Between The Simulated Results And The Real Case Scenarios. Conclusion: This Work Shows That Reinforcement Learning Paradigm Can Be Used To Learn Public Health Policies In Complex Epidemiological Models. Moreover, Through This Experiment, We Demonstrate That The Developed Model Can Be Very Useful If Fed In With Real Data. Future Work: When Treating Trade-Off Problems (Balance Between Two Goals) Like Here, Engineering A Good Reward (That Encapsulates All Goals) Can Be Difficult, Therefore Future Work Might Tackle This Problem By Investigating Other Techniques Such As Inverse Reinforcement Learning And Human-In-The-Loop. Also, Regarding The Developed Epidemiological Model, We Aim To Gather Proper Real Data That Can Be Used To Make The Training Environment More Realistic, As Well As To Apply It For Network Of Regions Instead Of A Single Region.
Biocultural aspects of mental distress: Expanding the biomedical model towards an integrative biopsychosocial understanding of disorder
Authors: Maximino Caio
Published: June 2021

Objective: To produce a theoretical approach about the relations between neuroscience and psychopathology that expands beyond the biomedical model to include a non-reductionist, enactive, and biocultural perspective. Method: An integrative review, drawing from the biocultural approach from Anthropology, is used to produce examples from epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and functional neuroanatomy. Results and conclusion: A biocultural approach points to a brain that is highly plastic, reinforcing a much more complex model in which biological vulnerabilities and the historical-cultural environment co-construct each other. The examples given seem to point to the pressing need for a critical expansion of reductionist models of psychopathology. Importantly, the cultural-historical environment to which we refer is not a set of neutral social relations to which individuals are homogeneously exposed, such that aspects that are usually studied under the social determinants of health and disease (poverty, discrimination, violence, and other factors that represent sources of control, production, and distribution of material resources, ideology, and power) need to be incorporated in adequate biopsychosocial models of mental distress.
Un-boxing Gender Variance: A Preliminary Investigation into Patient Satisfaction with Services for Gender Variance within the NHS.
Authors: Warner Alice
Published: June 2021

To knowledge, previous research into gender variance has not differentiated subgroups of trans people in terms of their clinical presentations. This study examined different types of gender variant people in terms of their satisfaction with health care services, both general (primary care) and specific to their needs (gender identity clinics; GIC). An online questionnaire assigned participants to groups according to their symptomology and took measures of satisfaction of each clinical setting that trans people wishing to seek expert advice (in order to transition or not) must attend. No significant differences in satisfaction were found between types of trans people or among distinct clinical settings. However, “competency of practitioner” (an aspect of care known to hold importance for trans people), was found to be significantly higher at the GICs. These findings support previous literature on the nature of trans people as a whole and explore new ways to include certain subgroups of gender variant people in research.

LEGALITY OF “BORROW ME CREDIT” SERVICES OFFERED BY TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES: A SHARI’AH PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Sarumi Isa Abdur-Razaq , Abdulwahid Yusuph Abdulraheem , Ahmed Mu’az Yusuf
Published: June 2021

Telecommunication service providers are known to provide various benefits for airtime packages. Different packages have been introduced in order to satisfy consumer needs. The nexus between service providers and consumers are guided by terms and conditions. Under Islamic law, any condition stipulated by the parties, which involves riba is rejected ab inito and renders the transaction voidable. Therefore, this article seeks to examine the Airtime Credit Service by service providers such as extra time package known as ‘borrow me credit’ in order to determine whether it is a Shariah-compliant transaction or otherwise. The study adopts doctrinal legal research by using primary and secondary sources of Islamic law such as Qur’an, Sunnah. The study also relies on textbook, journals, and service providers’ websites. The study reveals that the use of the word ‘borrow’ in the package has triggered polemical discourse among the Islamic financial jurists. The study reveals that, although the word ‘borrow’ is used, the intention of service providers is to sell the airtime on credit sale. The article clarifies the juristic discourse of the sale based on Islamic law of contract. It  recommends some clarifications on the form and structure of the sale and concludes that it is allowed for Muslims to buy airtime through the package.
THE CHALLENGES IN ENFORCING POST DIVORCE ORDERS OF NATIVE COURTS IN EAST MALAYSIA
Authors: Hanna Ambaras Khan  , Nora Abdul Hak  , Najibah Mohd Zin  , Roslina Che Soh
Published: June 2021

The native court in Malaysia comprises of Mahkamah Anak Negeri Sabah and Mahkamah Bumiputera Sarawak. The existence of this court is recognised by the Malaysian Government and they are mentioned in the Federal Constitution of Malaysia. Although these courts are given power and authority in dealing with the personal law of natives in each state, there are challenges in enforcing post-divorce orders made by these courts. This article is significant since there is a dearth of study on this topic. The main objective of this article is to examine the enforcement of post-divorce orders of native courts within East Malaysia. It will also explore the problems and challenges of divorcees in enforcing divorce orders and provide recommendations to improve the existing system. This article adopts library-based and qualitative research method which consists of group discussions and interviews with the village headman (ketua kampung), headman (penghulu), community leader, native courts’ judges, native court of appeal’s judge, registrar of native court and several divorcees. The result of this research identified four challenges vis-a-vis: the capability to find the husband upon the issuance of the divorce order; second, husband’s default payment of maintenance; lack of manpower in enforcing the order and lastly, husband’s conversion to Islam. Thereafter, this article suggests that the government could provide assistance by empowering court bailiffs or enforcement bodies, increasing funding and to designate a special department for enforcement of divorce orders
REPERCUSSIONS OF MARITAL INFIDELITY IN MALAYSIA: A LEGAL RESPONSE
Authors: Roslina Che Soh  , Nora Abdul Hak  , Noraini Mohd Hashim  , Muhammad Helmi Md. Said
Published: June 2021

In today’s modern society, marital infidelity has become a dangerous threat to married life. Married couples are seen to be ‘comfortable’ in engaging in relationships with third parties. Such a trend has greatly contributed to the breakdown of marriages and subsequently led to the increase in the number of divorces and thus threatening the family institution. There are diverse causes for the prevalence of marital infidelity and this includes marriage boredom, unrealistic expectations, conflicts and misunderstandings between the husband and the wife. Although the seriousness of the affairs is widely recognized but marital infidelity is not considered as an offence in many jurisdictions including Malaysia. The objective of this article is to discuss the legal repercussions of marital infidelity in Malaysia and to consider whether existing legal solutions through the enforcement of law is an adequate mechanism to curb this social problem. The methodology adopted in this study is based on the content analysis of reports, case laws, leading textbooks and journal articles. The article is significant as it addresses crucial concerns over the adequacy of existing laws relating to the protection of the marriage and family institutions in Malaysia. The article is concluded with a series of recommendations and suggestions for improvements in existing law through appropriate legal mechanisms so as to curb the issue of marital infidelity in order to preserve the well-being of the family institution as a whole.

Este artículo plantea que Bolivia ha sido afectada, al mismo tiempo, por dos pandemias, la política y la sanitaria. Adicionalmente plantea que la fragilidad institucional y la debilidad de las estructuras y organizaciones sanitarias han sido una desventaja en el manejo de la pandemia, la que no ha estado exenta de influencias políticas para beneficio de uno u otro bando, agravando y perjudicando al final, a la población más desfavorecida. Ello, adicionalmente en un contexto económico de gran informalidad que se ha visto seriamente dañado, afectando a los más débiles que se ganan la vida en este sector informal de la economía. Las luchas internas de poder en Bolivia han sido en la practica un factor que ha afectado negativamente el manejo de la pandemia a nivel nacional.

Oleh karena itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengajukan suatu inovasi model kurikulum yang dianggap tepat untuk diterapkan. Kurikulum yang baik di era sekarang tentunya tidak mengedepankan teacher centered learning, namun memprioritaskan student centered learning. Kurikulum secara adaptif sangat berpotensi untuk mewujudkan student centered learning. Maka dari itu, model semacam ini sangat tepat untuk diterapkan karena memenuhi unsur prinsip-prinsip dalam kurikulum, terutama prinsip relevansi dengan perkembangan zaman. Adaptive Blended Curriculum (ABC) merupakan suatu model inovasi kurikulum yang menekankan pada kurikulum secara blended (campuran) antara langsung dengan tidak langsung. Hasil dari kajian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi suatu referensi alternatif dalam penerapan kurikulum yang layak di Indonesia.

 

Indonesia is a vast country both geographically and culturally. By looking at these differences, of course, it makes each potential human resource in each region more diverse. So, this study aims to propose an innovative curriculum model that is considered appropriate to be applied. A good curriculum in the current era certainly does not prioritize teacher centered learning, but prioritizes student centered learning. Adaptive curriculum has the potential to realize student centered learning. Therefore, this kind of model is very appropriate to be applied because it fulfills the elements of the principles in the curriculum, especially the principle of relevance to the times. Adaptive Blended Curriculum (ABC) is a curriculum innovation model that emphasizes the curriculum blended direct and indirect. The results of this study are expected to become an alternative reference in implementing a proper curriculum in Indonesia.

Authors: Jupri Al , Usdiyana Dian , Sispiyati Ririn
Published: June 2021

The number pattern is one of mathematics topics taught for junior high school students that relate between arithmetic and algebra domain. This topic bridges arithmetical and algebraic thinking. Therefore, the learning for this topic should be designed meaningfully. This research aims to design a learning sequence on the number patterns using principles of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). To do this, we used design research method, particularly the preliminary design phase, with the following three steps. First, literature study was conducted to collect student difficulties in the learning of number patterns, relevant studies, and the theory of RME. Second, we observed Indonesian mathematics textbooks addressing the number patterns to see a learning sequence for this topic. Finally, we designed a learning sequence for the number patterns using the RME principles, particularly the reality principle, level principle, and intertwinement principle. The result of this research includes the learning sequence for the number patterns according to the RME principles, which consists of three activities: relationship between patterns and numbers; exploration of numbers; and generalization of number patterns. We conclude that the three principles of RME are fruitful for designing a meaningful learning sequence for the topic of number patterns.

Published: June 2021

The pandemic period resulted in students having to learn from home by relying on a distance learning platform with most of the media used by educators in the form of learning videos or video conferences. This study aims to analyze how learning videos should be made so that the material contained in the learning videos can be conveyed properly to students in terms of video content, video duration, and various obstacles faced by prospective teacher students in obtaining good teaching materials in the form of learning resources and learning videos presented by educators. The data in this study were collected by means of a questionnaire distributed with Google Form. The questionnaire was distributed randomly to prospective elementary school teacher students in a study program at one of the state universities in Mataram. The questionnaire results were analyzed as a percentage of quantitative data. The results showed that 51% of respondents prefer learning videos with a duration of 5 to 10 minutes, as many as 60.5% of prospective teacher students prefer learning videos that contain material explanations of a topic of discussion than video tutorials, as well as the main obstacles for prospective teacher students in obtaining learning materials due to the limited quota of data packages and the internet network (signal) which is less supportive.

Alexa, Affect, and the Algorithmic Imaginary
Authors: Kopitz Linda
Published: June 2021

As millions of customers across the world invite digital voice assistants into their homes, the public debate has increasingly centered on security and privacy concerns connected to the use of the device. Drawing on Tania Bucher’s work at the intersection between technology and everyday experience, this article proposes an understanding of an algorithmic imaginary of Alexa-enabled devices as explicitly nonthreatening in its ordinariness, positive potential, and gendered presence. As a case study, this article uses commercials for Alexa-enabled devices as a starting point: Instead of foregrounding the functionality and thereby the algorithmic intelligence underlying the voice assistant, these commercials focus on an affective potential as a narrative strategy to address privacy and security concerns. By connecting everyday interactions with emotional and empowering narratives, the way Alexa is portrayed as an embodied object functions as a balance to the equally public and publicized understanding of digital voice assistants as threats.
A Body of Texts
Authors: Tirrell Jeremy
Published: June 2021

This article applies materialist rhetoric to Christopher Nolan’s 2000 neo-noir filmMementoand positions its protagonist Leonard Shelby, a man with a brain injury that prevents him from making new memories, as a figure ofmētis: a classical concept addressing the cunning ability to respond to the contingent,kairoticmoment by engaging situations through a reciprocal process of change. As evidence for its assertion, the article examines Leonard’s relationship to his shifting bodily archive of tattoos, handwritten notes, and annotated Polaroid pictures. It also aligns him with the ancient hero Odysseus and the sophistic rhetorician Gorgias, two classical exemplars ofmētis. Leonard’smēticexistence informs how contemporary selves emerge from networks of objects both physical and virtual.
INFLAMMATORY-DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS IN PERIODONTIUM WHILE MODELLING HYPО- AND HYPERREACTIVITY OF THE ORGANISM
Authors: Yarov Yu.Yu.
Published: June 2021

The issues of clarifying the key mechanisms of development and course of generalized periodontitis in different conditions of reactivity of the organism remain relevant. The aim of the research is study of the peculiarities of course of the inflammatory-destructive process in the periodontium according to the dynamics of clinical and paraclinical indicators depending on the state of reactivity of the body in the conditions of modeling hyper- and hyporeaction.

Materials and methods. The experiments were performed on 24 adult not purebred dogs weighing 8-12 kg. The animals were divided into three equal groups. In the first group, drugs that disrupt the reactivity of the organism were not used (normoreactivity of the organism). In the second group drugs simulated the state of hyperreactivity, and in the third they provoked the condition of the hyporeactivity of the organism. The condition of periodontal tissues was assessed initially, on the 14th and 28th day of observation of clinical and paraclinical parameters (creviculars liquor, PMA indices, PI Russell, GI Fedorov-Volodkina, Kulazhenko's test).

Results. On the 14th day of modelling the states of hyper- and hyporeactivity of the organism a number of differences in the nature of inflammation in periodontal tissues were revealed in animals of different groups. Control of the amount of creviculars liquor increased in 1,1 times, PMA indices, PI Russell, GI Fedorov-Volodkina, Kulazhenko's test, respectively, in 1,12; 1,19; 1,33 and 1,29 times (p <0,05).

On the 28th day of the experiment, significant differences in the intensity of the destructive process in animals with unchanged and changed reactivity of the organism attracted attention. Thus, in cases of normoreactivity the depth of periodontal pockets reached 3 mm, the mobility of the teeth was I degree, with the changed - the depth of periodontal pockets was 5-6 mm, the mobility of the teeth was II-III degree. The amount of creviculars liquor, reflecting the intensity of the inflammatory reaction, increased compared with the 14th day, 1,3 times (p <0,05); PMA index, which characterizes the prevalence of gingivitis, and the Kulazhenko test probably did not change (p> 0,05); Russell's PI index, which indicates a pronounced intensity of inflammatory-destructive periodontal lesions, increased 2,05 times (р <0,05).

Conclusions. Thus, in cases of normoreactivity of organism the inflammatory-destructive process in periodontium has moderate nature; when modelling the hyper- and hyporeactivity of the organism it acquires the character of “rapidly progressing periodontitis”. Therefore, it is necessary to continue studying the question of explaining the mechanism of different clinical course of the inflammatory-destructive process with changed and unchanged reactivity of the organism.

Türk mutfağı kendine özgü özelliklere sahip olması sebebiyle, diğer uluslararası mutfaklarla kıyaslandığında büyük öneme sahiptir. Karadeniz mutfağı ise Türk mutfak kültüründe ön plana çıkan ve değerlerini koruyarak güzümüze aktaran yöresel mutfaklar arasında gösterilmektedir. Araştırma bu kapsamda Bursa ilinde faaliyet gösteren 5 yıldızlı şehir oteli aşçılarının Karadeniz mutfağı üzerine bilgilerini ve uygulama düzeylerini ölçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. 2020 Şubat ve Mart ayları arasında gerçekleştirilen araştırmada anket veri toplama yöntemi kullanılmış bu kapsamda 10 şehir oteline ulaşılarak 148 anket formları dağıtılmıştır. Örneklemin tamamına ulaşılmaya çalışılan araştırmada analizlere dâhil edilebilir n=138 form toplanabilmiştir. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistik ve frekans analizi testi ile hipotezler için Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanılarak değerlendirme yapılmış, anlamlı farklılığı saptamak içinse Tukey ve Tamhane testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, Bursa ilinde bulunan 5 yıldızlı otel aşçılarının Karadeniz mutfağına ilişkin görüşlerinin önemli ölçüde olumlu olduğu görülmekte fakat aşçıların Karadeniz yöresine has tatları duymaması ve tatmaması olumsuz bir durum olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Aşçılar tarafından en çok bilinen yiyeceklerinse genel olarak literatürde önemli derecede bilinilir olarak aktarılan yiyeceklerle benzerlik gösterdiği saptanmıştır.
Gümüşhane Şehrinin Kuruluşuna Dair
Authors: SAYLAN Kemal
Published: June 2021

Son dönemlerde yerel tarih çalışmaları kapsamında Anadolu’daki şehirlerin adı, kuruluşu, idari ve sosyo-ekonomik yapısıyla ilgili çok sayıda çalışma yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmaların büyük bir bölümü şehir tarihini mümkün olduğu kadar eskiye götürerek şehre artı bir değer katma gayretindedir. Gümüşhane tarihiyle ilgili yapılan çalışmalarda da bu refleksi görmek mümkündür. Ancak bu refleks bazen şehrin kuruluşu ve ait olduğu medeniyet hakkında yanlış yorumlara neden olabilmektedir.

Şimdiye kadar Gümüşhane şehrinin kuruluşuna dair kesin ve net bir bilgi olmaması, konu hakkında farklı görüşlerin ortaya atılmasına neden olmuştur. Şehrin kuruluşuyla ilgili bazı yazar ve seyyahlar şehrin Grekler ya da Romalılar tarafından kurulduğunu iddia etmişlerdir.

Çalışmanın amacı, kasabanın kuruluş ve gelişimi hakkında eleştirel bir bakış açısı ortaya koyarak bu iddiaların doğruluklarını tespit etmektir. Çalışmada başta Avrupalı seyyah ve yazarların bakış açıları olmak üzere şehrin kuruluşuyla ilgili ortaya atılan görüşler tartışılacak, Osmanlı resmi kayıtlarındaki veriler de göz önünde bulundurularak şehrin kuruluşu hakkında daha doğru bir sonuca ulaşılmaya çalışılacaktır.

Published: June 2021

II. Meşrutiyet’in ilan edilmesinden (23 Temmuz 1908) sonra yapılan idari düzenlemeyle Kastamonu vilayetinden ayrılan Bolu sancağı; merkez olmak üzere Düzce, Gerede, Mudurnu, Göynük, Bartın, Ereğli, Devrek ve Zonguldak kazalarından oluşan müstakil bir sancak statüsüne dönüşmüştür. Zührevi bir hastalık olan frengi, Balkan Savaşları döneminde Bolu sancağında oldukça etkili olmuştur. Bu sıralarda Bolu’da bulunan Tanin gazetesi yazarı Ahmet Şerif’in izlenimleri bunu doğrulamaktadır. Kastamonu vilayeti ve Bolu sancağı Mart-Ekim 1914 tarihleri arasında frengi taramasından geçirilmiştir. Belirtilen bölgeleri muayene eden sağlık heyetinin başında bulunan Mehmet Suat’ın raporu, seyyar doktorların ve hastanelerin faaliyetleri hakkında önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Gerçekleştiren taramalar sonucunda 400 binin üzerinde köylü muayene edilmiş, köylülere kinin ve ilaç dağıtılmış, çocuklara çiçek aşısı vurulmuştur. Ayrıca mevcut hastanelerde binlerce frengili hasta tedavi edilmiştir. Birinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında da etkisini sürdüren frengiyle mücadele kapsamında, Kastamonu vilayeti ve Bolu sancağını içeren bir nizamname çıkarılmıştır. Savaştan sonra terhis olan ya da esir düşen askerlerin memleketlerine yani Bolu sancağına dönmesiyle frengili hasta sayısında ciddi bir artış olmuştur. Hem Balkan Savaşları hem de Birinci Dünya Savaşı dönemlerinde halkın hastalığa karşı bilinç düzeyinin düşüklüğü, şüphesiz hastalığın yayılmasında önemli bir payının olduğu da belirtilmelidir. Dolayısıyla bu makalede; Bolu sancağında, Balkan Savaşlarından Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın sonuna kadarki dönemde (1912-1918), frenginin etkileri ve hastalığa karşı alınan tedbirler incelenmiştir.

Introduction: Currently, we witness an explosive growth in the amount of information produced by humanity. This raises new fundamental problems of its efficient storage and processing. Commonly used magnetic, optical, and semiconductor information storage devices have several drawbacks related to small information density and limited durability. One of the promising novel approaches to solving these problems is DNA-based data storage. Purpose: An overview of modern DNA-based storage systems and related information-theoretic problems. Results: The current state of the art of DNA-based storage systems is reviewed. Types of errors occurring in them as well as corresponding error-correcting codes are analized. The disadvantages of these codes are shown, and possible pathways for improvement are mentioned. Proposed information-theoretic models of DNA-based storage systems are analyzed, and their limitation highlighted. In conclusion, main obstacles to practical implementation of DNA-based storage systems are formulated, which can be potentially overcome using information-theoretic methods considered in this overview.
Coding and robustness of signal processing in streaming recurrent neural networks
Authors: Osipov Vasiliy , Nikiforov Viktor
Published: June 2021

Introduction: When substantiating promising architectures of streaming recurrent neural networks, it becomes necessary to assess their stability in processing various input signals. For this, stability diagrams are constructed containing the results of simulation for each of the nodes of these diagrams. Such an estimation can be time-consuming and computationally intensive, especially when analyzing large neural networks. Purpose: Search for methods of quick construction of such diagrams and assessing the stability of streaming recurrent neural networks. Results: Analysis of the features of the stability diagrams under study showed that the nodes of the diagrams are grouped into continuous zones with the same ratio characteristics of the input signal processing defects. With this in mind, the article proposes a method for constructing these diagrams based on bypassing the boundaries of their zones. With this approach, you do not have to perform simulation for the interior nodes of each zone. The simulation should be performed only for the nodes adjacent to zone boundaries. Due to this, the number of nodes for which you need to perform simulation sessions is reduced by an order of magnitude. The influence of the input signal coding types on the streaming recurrent neural network stability has been investigated. It is shown that the representation of input signals in the form of sequences of single pulses with intersecting elements can provide greater stability as compared to pulses without any intersection.
