DİJİTAL GÖRÜNTÜ MEKANI OLAN FOTOĞRAFIN YARATTIĞI BELLEK YİTİMİ: YENİ BİR BELLEK İNŞASI
Authors: GÖKSAL Ceyda
Published: August 2023

Tarih boyunca bellek kavramıyla uğraşmış sanatçılar arşiv, belge, anı gibi özelliklerinden dolayı görüntüleri araç olarak kullanmışlardır. Özellikle teknolojinin gelişimi nedeniyle günümüzde sanat görüntülerle daha da iç içe geçmiş durumdadır. Bu görüntü araçlarından biri olan fotoğrafın, günümüzdeki etkisi özellikle teknolojiyle birlikte değişmiştir. Belleğin çok fazla fotoğrafa maruz bırakılması yapısı gereği kalıcılığı ve anı yaratımı ya da anımsatıcı özelliğini bozabilmektedir. Bundan dolayı belleğin bu görüntü fazlalığında seçme yapması önem kazanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda önce bellekte bir bilginin nasıl kalıcı olacağı önemlidir. Bir bilginin kodlanarak kalıcı hale getirilmesini bu araştırma da özellikle Roland Barthes’ın studium ve punctum kavramları irdelenerek araştırıldığında ancak Barthes’ında dediği gibi her ikisini barındıran fotoğrafların kalıcılıklarından bahsetmemiz olası gözükmektedir. Özellikle post fotoğrafla birlikte geleneksel fotoğrafın yapısının değiştiği ortadır. Artık fotoğraflar anı barındırmak yerine yaratabilme yetisine de sahip olma özelliği taşıyabilmektedir. Modernizmle birlikte fotoğrafın gerçeklik tartışmaları bu bağlamlarda değişmektedir. Bu araştırma özellikle postmodernizm teorisi sonrası fotoğrafın durumu ve sanattaki konumunun nasıl değiştiği, bellekle ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Görüntü fazlalığı bir bellek yitimine aynı zamanda yeni bir bellek inşasına sebebiyet verebilmektedir. Hatırlama, anımsama ne ise bellek yitimi de insan doğasında vardır. Bellek nasıl kolektif ise bellek yitimi de kolektif olabilir. Sanat teorisyeni Nicomedes Suárez-Araúz bellek yitiminin anımsamaya yönelik her parçanın içerisinde olduğunu söylemektir. Düşünceler ve anılar bellek yitimi ile şekillendirilir. Sadece şekillendirme değil saptırılır da. Belleği, bellek yitiminden ayrı düşünemeyiz. Bütün bu bağlamlar sonucunda çok fazla fotoğrafa maruz kalmamız geçmişi imlemesinden daha çok bir bellek yitimine hizmet ettiği olası gözükmektedir. Bu bellek yitimi Suárez-Araúz dediği gibi yeni bir belleğin inşası anlamına da gelebilmektedir.

Published: August 2023

The methyl ammonium tin iodide (〖CH〗_3 〖NH〗_3 〖SnI〗_3) perovskite nanocrystals have attracted research interest and have become a rising star in the horizon of photovoltaics due to its narrow band gap, wide visible absorption coefficient and environmental friendliness than its lead-based counterpart (〖CH〗_3 〖NH〗_3 〖PbI〗_3). In this article, a tin based perovskite solar cell with Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Copper Oxide (CuO) as electron transport medium (ETM) and hole transport medium (HTM) was proposed and investigated numerically using a Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS) tool. With appropriate parameters, a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 27.56 mA/cm^2, open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.82 V, fill factor (FF) of 59.32 %, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13.41 % are obtained for the initial simulation. By varying the thicknesses of the absorber and electron transport layer, the optimum thicknesses were observed at 0.6 μm and 0.3 μm for 〖CH〗_3 〖NH〗_3 〖SnI〗_3 and ZnO with corresponding PCEs of 14.36 % and 13.42 %. Upon simulation with optimized parameters, a Jsc of 29.71 mA/cm^2, Voc of 0.83 V, FF of 61.23 % and PCE of 15.10 % were recorded. These values are superior to those obtained without optimization which means that solar cell performance can be improved to some extent by adjusting the perovskite and electron transport layer and also, 〖CH〗_3 〖NH〗_3 〖SnI〗_3 Perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a potential environmentally friendly solar cell with considerable efficiency.

Field Assessment of Strip-Tillage for Summer Rice Cultivation in Bangladesh
Authors: M. Begum A. Mahmud , S. Munira M. M. Hossain , Sultana A.
Published: August 2023

Farmers in the tropics and subtropics of Asia usually transplant rice seedlings in puddled soils which makes crop establishment and weed control easier. But rice can be grown successfully by planting into non-puddled soils after a single shallow pass of strip tillage. This method was globally reported to produce the same yield of rice as traditional puddle farming and saved labor, fuel and water, too. With this aim to asses the effect of strip tillage in the productivity of rice in Bangladesh, a trial was done at a farmer's field in the Gauriopur area of Mymensingh district in Bangladesh from July to December 2014. The productivity of four summer rice varieties, BR11, BRRI dhan46, BRRI dhan52, and BINA Dhan-7, was compared under strip tillage (ST) vs. conventional tillage (CT). The CT had two main ploughings done by a two-wheel tractor, and the ST was done in a single pass by a Versatile Multi-crop Planter. The interactive results of study showed that, except for the number of effective tillers per m2, grain yield, and BCR, none of the other parameters changed significantly between the treatments. The highest BCR profit came from BR 11 grown under ST, followed by BRRI dhan52, BRRI dhan46, and BINA Dhan-7 grown under ST. The lowest BCR was measured from BINA Dhan-7 grown under CT. This could be because the highest and lowest amount of effective and sterile tillers and the maximum grain yield were seen in the respective treatments. The ST had a 26% higher BCR than the CT, which could have been due to the 3% higher grain yield that came from having 6% more effective tillers and 42% lower sterile tillers per m2 area. In the end, we could say that ST is a more profitable way to grow rice than CT, and BR 11 is the best of the other three types.

Authors: Modu Mala Ali , Sapri Maimunah , Zafirah Ab. Muin
Published: August 2023

Outsourcing is an approach for facilities management (FM) service delivery through external service providers but has however remained relatively unexplored. The purpose of this study is to explore its use as a relevant approach for FM service delivery in social housing within a semi-arid climate. Using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey, ninety (90) questionnaires were administered; and a total of 49 (54%) were retrieved. Data collected were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using frequency and percentages, mean index, and standard deviations with Stata 11.0 statistical tool. Pearson’s chi-square test and mean ranking were performed to determine the relationship between respondents’ demography and FM sourcing approach. Findings among others reveal that, out of the four types of FM sourcing approaches (In-house, outsourcing, public-private partnership, and total facilities management), outsourcing has been most appropriate and beneficial due to cost reduction, accessibility to skills, expertise, and ideas, making cost transparent, reducing depreciation and obsolescence, and accessibility to new products in order of benefits. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the development of FM strategies and the adoption of outsourcing for FM service delivery in social housing within a semi-arid climate. Therefore, the paper recommends IFMA and other FM professionals launch advocacy on the potentialities of adopting outsourcing for FM service delivery in social housing and the housing sector in general.

The project concluded with recommendations for enhancing learning applications and further studies on the students’ use of reflective writing activities in the Social Studies classroom. Future studies could potentially influence teachers’ practices inside the classroom and the curriculum planners in designing a more interactive Social Studies program. The outcomes of this project can be utilized to inform teacher training programs of the Department of Education in the area of reflection tools and activities to promote a more active application of World History lessons.
Application and Subjectivity of Divine Command Theory and the Possibility of Morality without Organized Religion.
Authors: Kathenge Jonathan
Published: August 2023

In the society, peace and tran quillity is pegged on members adherence to a code of conduct which they presume to contain ethical directives. As such, anyone who adheres to this code is considered moral and those who violate it are deemed immoral. In some societies, especially in the African continent, adherence to religious tenets is considered a necessary and sufficient condition for morality. In this respect, a moral person is one who adheres to what their religion teaches. This perspective can be associated with one of the prominent African Philosopher and theologian John Mbiti who is credited with the proclamation that Africans are notoriously religious, that they associate everything in their lives with religion. If good things happen to an African, it is assumed that it is a reward from a deity, and if evil befalls them, it must be a punishment for an evil committed. In this paper, an investigation to the nature of organized religion and its contribution to formation of moral principles is discussed. The study sought to examine whether the religious ethical principles and the divine command theory from which they emanate are absolute and can be objectively used in our societies. The divine command theorist would argue that an act is moral because God or Deity commands it to be morally good. The question arises whether there can be morality in the absence of organized religion. The study postulates that there is possibility of human knowledge of moral principles independent of external influence which inform human conduct if organized religion would cease to exist.

Published: August 2023

O Tromboembolismo Venoso representa um grave problema de saúde publica mundial, representado pela Trombose Venosa Profunda (TVP) e pelo Tromboembolismo Pulmonar (TEP). Essa é uma doença multifatorial, ocasionada por fatores adquiridos ambientalmente e outros intrínsecos ao indivíduo. Dentre esses fatores podem-se destacar as deficiências dos fatores de coagulação, anomalia de plaquetas, doenças vasculares e alterações nos inibidores da cascata de coagulação. Em relação a essas causas, um dos principais fatores que levam a trombose é a mutação nos genes que expressam o Fator V de Leiden (FVL). A mutação genética de Leiden tem uma herança dominante e o gene mutado em heterozigose para a FVL aumenta o risco de trombose em até cinco vezes a mais em comparação a uma pessoa sem mutação, já a homozigose (quando ambos os alelos são mutados), aumenta as chances de trombose de cinquenta a cem vezes.

Comparing the performance of eight imputation methods for propensity score matching in missing data problem
Authors: Omurlu Imran Kurt , Varol Bugra , Ture Mevlut
Published: August 2023

Propensity score (PS) is a popular method to control for covariates in observational studies. A challenge in PS analyses is missing values in covariates. This study aims to investigate how different imputation methods of handling missing values of covariates in a PS analysis can affect average treatment on the treated (ATT) estimates. In this study, missing data imputation methods were evaluated using different data sets, whose covariates were low, medium, and high (r=0.10, 0.50, 0.85) correlated with each other, for n=200 units and 1000 times running simulation. Missing data structures were created according to the missing at random (MAR) mechanism and different missing rates. Different datasets were obtained after having imputed the missing values separately by eight imputation methods including mean, median, mode, hot deck, last observation carried forward (LOCF), next observation carried backward (NOCB), regression and predictive mean matching (PMM). Then the PS nearest neighbor matching was implemented and ATT scores were obtained using the imputed data sets. The predictive performance of imputation methods was compared according to ATT scores by hierarchical cluster analysis with Euclidean distance complete linkage. ATT scores of regression and PMM methods were closer to each other and these methods showed the best predictive performance. Additionally, when there were larger amounts of missing data, the PMM was the best method of choice. Ignoring missing values on covariates for PS analyses causes information loss significantly and this information loss becomes greater as the rate of missing data increases. PS analyses might be biased if missing data on covariates are also ignored. To prevent this information loss and bias, PS analyses should be performed after solving the problem of missing data with MAR mechanism on covariates by regression and PMM methods, which showed statistical superiority compared to other methods in this study.

Authors: Sandeep K H  , Rakesh B S
Published: August 2023

India's sizable agricultural market provides the perfect conditions for cultivating a variety of products, including the tomato harvest. Detecting the transmission of diseases from unhealthy to healthy plants poses a severe threat to the agricultural industry because, if caught early enough, they can quickly spread and perhaps infest the entire farm. In terms of profit in good forming, early stage crop disease identification and severity monitoring is quite important. K-means clustering with fuzzy logic is used in the proposed study to evaluate the disease-affected region of the leaf and, as a result, assess the severity of the diseases. In this thesis, illnesses are detected using machine learning models for convolutional neural networks (CNN) and K-nearest neighbours (KNN).

And further, design is checked to verify that it satisfies all design and serviceability criteria given as per IS-456(2000).Results obtain via theoretical calculation and FEM model simulation for both solid and voided slab were compared. The aim of this paper is to discuss and compare flexure behaviour of solid slab and voided slab and to study changes in inertia, stiffness and reduction in weight, of the slab by void formation.

The aim of this research was to establish features of the liver histo-hematic barriers ultrastructural organization of the Anglo-Nubian goat. The liver of an adult Anglo-Nubian goat was used as the material. The work was carried out using the electron microscopic method. Liver parenchymal tissue fragments were selected. These samples were fixed in a 2.0% glutaraldehyde solution on a cacodylate buffer for two hours. They were then washed in three portions of the same buffer and post-fixed in a 1.0% solution of osmium tetrachloride for one hour. The samples were then dehydrated in alcohols of ascending concentration and absolute acetone. The subsequent filling of the fragments was carried out in Epon-812. Ultrathin sections were obtained on an ultramicrotome, contrasted with a 2.0% aqueous solution of uranyl acetate and a solution of lead citrate. The ultrathin sections were photographed with a Jem-1011 electron microscope at magnifications of 2500-3000. Two histo-hematic barriers are detected in the liver of the studied animals hemato-hepatic and hepatobiliary. The hemato-hepatic barrier is formed by the plasmalemma of the apical end of the hepatocyte, covered by the glycocalyx, the perisinusoidal space of the Disse, the endotheliocyte of the sinusoid capillary, as well as Kupfer cells located in the lumen of the latter. The hepatobiliary includes all of the above structures, with the exception of Kupfer cells, as well as the plasmalemma of the basal end of the hepatocyte. All of the above structures in their organization have characteristic species features for Anglo-Nubian goats.

This study explores the impacts of climate change on milk production in Nigeria. Climate variables such as temperature, rainfall, sunshine, relative humidity and wind speed were considered as covariates in the analysis. Time-series data spanning a period of forty years obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria and FAOSTAT database was used. The autoregressive distributed lag model was used to analyze both the short run and long run impacts of climate change on milk production. As expected, not all the variables were stationary at levels, but they were all significant at the difference suggesting the presence of cointegration. The result showed that the Bound’s test F-ratio was statistically significant implies the existence of long run and short run relationships among the variables studied. Present findings revealed that temperature, rainfall and relative humidity had a negative impact on milk production, while sunlight recorded a positive impact on milk production both in the short run and long run estimates. The study concludes that milk production in Nigeria dropped as a result of climate change particularly rising temperature and prolonged rainfall. Agricultural climate smart practices were recommended to mitigate impact of climate change on milk production.
