Self-Orientalist Representations of Turkish Classical Music in the Republican Era
Authors: Ayas Onur Güneş
Published: December 2024

The critique of Orientalism in music studies has tended to focus on European Orientalism rather than the Orientalism of “Orientals.” The purpose of this study is to explore how Turkish classical music (TCM) was represented in self-Orientalist discourses of Republican Turkey as part of competing strategies to define Turkish musical identity. These discourses not only perpetuate and reproduce the essentialist conceptions of European Orientalism, but also reformulate them in a different setting, sometimes contrasting their own interpretation with that of the Europeans. Whether they otherize or embrace the “non-Western” elements in Turkish music, most of these competing discourses share the same system of representation based on an essentialized and de-historicized conceptualization of culture. This also applies to some of the counter-discourses which emerged as a reaction to the symbolic violence imposed by Westernizing music policies in Republican Turkey. Despite their criticism of European Orientalism, they merely reverse its essentialist ontology to favor TCM. Using a wide range of sources, including the writings of influential Turkish thinkers, officials, and musicologists as well as periodicals and newspapers, this study aims to show the common conceptual background in the negative and positive representations of TCM from the 1920s to the present.
Resounding 1923
Authors: Olley Jacob
Published: December 2024

The introduction provides an overview of the concepts and topics explored in this themed issue. It begins by reflecting on practices of commemoration and the significance of 1923 in modern Turkish history. It then discusses the concept of “modernities” in relation to the Ottoman Empire and post-Ottoman nation-states, both in terms of musical developments and broader political and cultural processes. It emphasizes continuities and interactions between Ottoman and post-Ottoman periods, as well as between Europe and Turkey, and highlights the global diversity of experiences of modernity as demonstrated by a range of scholarship in musicology and other fields. The final section summarizes the contributions to the themed issue.
“Foreigners in their Homeland”
Authors: Poulos Panagiotis C.
Published: December 2024

The voices of multiple agents involved in the process of Ottoman urban popular music making have been largely omitted, if not restricted by traditional music historiography of the Ottoman long nineteenth century, thus downplaying the local dynamics of this very transitional era. Drawing on Ottoman Turkish, Greek, and Greco-Turkish sources, this article analyzes samples of nineteenth-century songs in the popular şarkı form as “sonic assemblages” that are formed by complementary and antagonistic social relations that developed both on the intercommunal level and internally within the various communities. In this analysis the notions of “musical exile” and “musical estrangement” are used to explore the multiplicity and multiaccentuality of the spatialities of the song-writing process and their consequent implications and impact on subjecthood formation.
Institutionalizing Opera in Turkey
Authors: Yavuz Elif Damla
Published: December 2024

When analyzing the period of “music reform” in Turkey, researchers are grouped around two main tendencies. Those in the first group focus on laws and rules, while those in the second focus on the composers known as the Turkish Five. Yet, there is a body of source material that can break the monotony of existing studies, reveal new knowledge relating to private documents, and illuminate the political dimension of the cultural relations between Turkey and Germany during the 1930s and 1940s and the conflicts between European and Turkish musicians. This body of material consists of the reports and letters of the European experts who worked on the institutionalization of music in Ankara between the years 1935 and 1947. This article focuses on one of these experts, Carl Ebert (1887–1980), in the context of his work in Ankara between 1936 and 1947. It aims to provide new insights into the institutionalization of opera in Turkey and the cultural life of Turkey during the 1930s and 1940s through the study of an important actor who has so far been neglected. Ultimately, the article highlights the need to expand the source material for a critical evaluation of the established historical narrative of music reform that has been dominant and as well as highly functional and coherent for the political orientation of Turkey since 1950.

Das Aktivistische Sofa – Möglichkeiten und Widersprüche bei der Begleitung von Aktivist*innen
Authors: Patzack Svenja , Meretz Stefan
Published: December 2024

Das Aktivistische Sofa richtet sich an Aktivist*innen, die sich mit ihrer Lebensführung und aus dem Aktivismus kommenden Problemen in der herkömmlichen Therapie- und Beratungslandschaft nicht aufgehoben fühlen. Aktivismus ist für sie kein Beiwerk, sondern macht ihre Identität aus und ist in die Lebensführung integriert. Vor allem präfigurativen Praktiken dienen dazu, Selbst- und Gesellschaftsveränderung zusammenzubringen. Der emanzipatorische, gegen den Kapitalismus kämpfende Aktivismus umfasst stets Zyklen von Aktion und Reflexion, bei denen das „Sofa“ ein besonderer Ort des Innehaltens sein kann. Auch die Unterstützung gebenden Autor*innen sind Teil des gesellschaftlichen Widerspruchsgeflechts. In ihrem Beitrag reflektieren sie die eigene Eingebundenheit in gesellschaftliche Widersprüche am Beispiel der Geldlogik und des Egalitätsanspruchs im Beratungssetting.

Ethics and Safety in AI Fine-Tuning
Authors: Kovalevskyi Bohdan
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the ethical implications and technical challenges of AI model fine-tuning, focusing on the dichotomy between aligned and unaligned models. Through analysis of current practices and emerging frameworks, we explore how fine-tuning can simultaneously enhance model performance and introduce potential risks. The study investigates the mathematical foundations of fine-tuning processes, ethical considerations in model alignment, and the challenges of balancing innovation with safety. We propose a composable alignment approach that maintains core ethical principles while allowing context-sensitive applications. The paper also evaluates existing regulatory frameworks and their effectiveness in governing AI development, suggesting mechanisms for oversight. Our findings emphasize the need for adaptive alignment strategies and global collaboration in establishing ethical standards for AI alignment, while highlighting the importance of maintaining flexibility across different cultural and application contexts.
Intelligent Anti-Money Laundering Transaction Pattern Recognition System Based on Graph Neural Networks
Authors: Xu Haosen , Yu Keke , Wei Ming , Zhu Yida
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a new Intelligent Anti-Money Laundering Transaction Pattern Recognition System based on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). The proposed system addresses the limitations of traditional anti-money laundering (AML) by leveraging the power of image representation and deep learning techniques. We introduce general methods for creating financial networks based on different shapes, including structural and physical. A custom GNN architecture is designed, featuring heterogeneous graph convolution, listening mechanisms, and physical models to capture the exchange patterns. The system uses advanced engineering techniques to extract both local and global features of financial performance. The analysis of the world's big data shows that the best performance of our method, achieved 35.2% Money Laundering Detection Rate (MLDR) in the top 1% of business flag, do better way. The model interpretation is improved by analyzing the SHAP value, providing insight into the decision-making process. Case studies show the system's ability to uncover financial transactions, including deposits from cryptocurrency exchanges and smurfing operations. This research contributes to the advancement of AML practices by introducing more accurate, flexible, and effective solutions for investigating financial crimes in complex financial systems more.
Tracking Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs) of Mini Fragment Implants with a Novel Optical Imaging System
Authors: Graham Jove , Menon Naresh , Capatch Kevin , Allington James , Menon Rudra , Suk Michael
Published: December 2024

Background

Small and mini fragment implantable medical devices (0.5 – 4.4mm) such as plates and screws that are placed into surgical trays pose a challenge to unique device identification (UDI) and tracking because they are difficult to directly mark, and often separated from labeling prior to reaching the point of care. Our objective was to demonstrate a novel optical system’s ability to track the unique identities of these small implants.

Methods

We performed a series of simulated craniotomy surgeries involving implants as small as 1.5mm in size, representing 13 different products from two manufacturers, to test whether a commercially available optical system (QuanTEK, Covisus, Inc.) could accurately track all implants through these simulations. The system was used to capture the unique surface texture of 236 implants at a micrometer scale and convert this to a unique “fingerprint” (vTag) for each item. Implants were placed in surgical trays, and these trays were subjected to a series of 16 simulated surgeries. After each surgery, trays were scanned and identified to determine which had been used, moved, or added.

Results

Post-surgical scans accurately identified the location and unique identity of 100% of implants (953 out of 953 times; 853 screws, 62 plates, 38 burr hole covers scanned; 95% confidence interval = 99.6 to 100%).

Conclusions

Results demonstrate that under simulated conditions, the system was able to register and verify the unique identities of mini fragment implants through surgical procedures with 100% accuracy. This technology could therefore be used to finally fulfill the goal of providing hospitals and supply chain management a solution to tracking the full UDI of all implantable medical devices used in the operating room, including the very smallest devices.

The article discusses significant changes in Polish family law over the past century. It focuses on the concept of parental authority, explaining its meaning and position in Polish law in the first part of the article. The following section mentions and comments on legal documents related to parental authority during the last century. The final section investigates five legal changes in the institution under study which the author considers crucial for its development. These changes include the legal status of men and women in relation to parental authority, the legal status of out-of-wedlock children, the predominant values underpinning parental authority, the prohibition of corporal punishment, and the state’s interference with parental authority. The article argues that despite the changes in legal, political, and economic systems experienced by Poland over the last century, there has been significant continuity and stability in the development of Polish family law.
The King as a Guarantor of Law Enforcement According to One Legal Formula in the Monuments of Georgian Law
Authors: Oniani Sulkhan
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of one legal formula found in the monuments of Georgian law, from which it can be seen that the king appears as the first and most important guarantor of the execution of law in ancient Georgia. Failure to comply with his order is equated with a crime committed against the king. The latter is punished most severely in a feudal state. The activities of public officials are also ensured by the authority of the king as an institution.
Unusual Standard Terms of Contract
Authors: Dzlierishvili Zurab
Published: December 2024

The protection of contractual equality is of great importance within the private law framework, as its violation will lead to a breach of contractual fairness. To avoid such a result, civil legislation limits freedom of contract and sets a reasonable scope for participating parties, thus, taking a step towards the restoration of contractual equality and justice. As an example, we can cite a contract with standard terms.
The main prerequisite for limiting freedom of contract is content control when intervention (influence) occurs directly in the content of the contract. In case of standard terms, the intervention is aimed at limiting the content of multiple-use contracts. Therefore, the realization of freedom of contract in the same dose, as it is possible in other cases, does not take place under standard terms. The principle of private law - everything that is not prohibited by the law is allowed, is applied to standard terms in a limited manner, which reinforces the need to control the content and the scope of its existence.
The subject of the research is not the standard terms of the contract in general; rather the unusual provisions of the standard terms of the contract provided for in Article 344 of the Civil Code of Georgia (hereafter CCG), which is "negative control of inclusion in the contract" and, accordingly, the correction of the result according to which the term "by itself" would have been valid if it were not unusual.
Grounds for Termination of the Apartment Rental Agreement
Authors: Chitoshvili Tamar
Published: December 2024

The paper delves into the intricacies of apartment rental agreements, the freedom to determine their form and content, and the practical issues related to it, which may arise within the context of freedom of contract. The paper also examines the rights and obligations of the parties to the agreement, which mainly entail the basis for determining, reducing, increasing,  the amount of rent, and terminating the contract. Relevant judicial practice analysis is provided.
Based on a comparative study, opinions and recommendations are expressed on the role of the state in regulating and controlling the scope of apartment rental and changes in it, which will guarantee the protection of the rights of the parties, both landlords and tenants, and therefore the stability of apartment rental agreements. Conclusions were made on the need for state intervention, its form, and scope, which will help to resolve the relations and issues arising from the apartment rental. This objective can be met by perfecting the legislation, demonstrated through commentary on legal norms that align with practice, and by implementing specific amendments.
The comments and opinions expressed in the paper will be of use to both practicing and non-practicing lawyers, students, and all other stakeholders.

Authors: Tevzadze Levan
Published: December 2024

Annotation: In the practice of general courts of Georgia, the problem of qualification of crime is not a rare case. This especially reffers to crimes between which to draw a line is difficult. Among such cases are the crimes provided for by articles 1441 (torture)[1] and 1443 (humiliation or inhuman treatment)[2] of the Criminal Code of Georgia. It is important to separate them - from each other and from other crimes.
The scientific article presents the criminal law cases of the domestic violence[3] category, in which the above-mentioned problem appeared and which were considered by all three courts of Georgia.
[1] The first part of Article 1441 of the Criminal Code of Georgia – “Torture, i.e. exposing a person, or a third person to such conditions or treating him/her in a manner that causes severe physical pain or psychological or moral anguish, and which aims to obtain information, evidence or confession, threaten or coerce, or punish the person for the act he/she or a third person has committed or has allegedly committed“.
[2] The first part of Article 1443 of the Criminal Code of Georgia – “Humiliating or coercing a person, placing him/her in an inhuman, degrading and humiliating condition, which inflicts severe physical and psychological suffering on him/her”.
[3] Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Georgia – “A domestic crime shall mean a crime under Articles 109, 115, 117, 118, 120, 126, 1331, 1332, 137-141, 143, 144-1443, 149-1511, 160, 171, 187, 253-2551, 3811 and 3812 of this Code, which is committed by one family member against another family member. Criminal liability for a domestic crime shall be determined according to an appropriate article of the Criminal Code of Georgia specified in this article, with reference to that article”. With the first part of the note of the same article – “For the purposes of this Code, the following persons shall be considered family members: a mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, spouse, person in an unregistered marriage, child (stepchild), foster child, foster carer (foster mother, foster father), stepmother, stepfather, grandchild, sister, brother, parent of the spouse, parent of the person in an unregistered marriage, spouse of the child (including the one in an unregistered marriage), former spouse, person who previously was in an unregistered marriage, guardian, custodian, supporter, person under guardianship and custodianship, beneficiary of support, as well as other persons that maintain or maintained a common household”.
The Characteristics of the Institution of Crime Victims According to International Legal Acts
Authors: Makharadze Anzor
Published: December 2024

Criminal action against the victim is the basis for the universally recognized protection of human rights, strengthened by international instruments, and the neglect of all other rights and freedoms.
Criminal action against the victim (crime victim) leads to a violation of the honor and dignity of a citizen, damage to physical and mental health, and breach of fundamental human rights and freedoms.
To ensure the restoration of his/her violated rights, a legal mechanism shall be established to actively participate in justice and better protect his/her legitimate interests.
Protection of the interests and rights of natural and legal persons affected by crime is declared as one of the main objectives of the state legal system of Georgia. 
 The purpose of the study is to review and analyze international acts and the basic principles and recommendations, the consideration and implementation of which in the national legislation will contribute to the realization of the rights of the victim (victim of crime) and the full protection of his/her legal interests. The legal basis for prioritizing the interests of victims, rights, and freedoms is the acts of international law, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950), the International Pact of Civil and Political Rights (1966), Declaration of the Fundamental Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Authority (1985), EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (2000),  Framework   Decision of  15  March 2001  on the status of victims in criminal proceedings adopted by the Council of the European Union (other legal acts of the European Union and the Council of Europe), Decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.
Privacy and Personal Data Protection v. the Protection of National Security and the Fight Against Crime: An Analysis of EU Law and Judicial Practice
Authors: Kukava Ketevani
Published: December 2024

Considering the risks that accompany technological progress, the need for personal data protection has significantly increased in today’s world. While digital technology offers many benefits, it has also created unprecedented opportunities for surveillance, posing a threat to human rights and democratic values.
Fighting against crime and safeguarding national security are important legitimate aims, and processing data related to electronic communications is one of the means for their achievement. At the same time, the state’s extensive power can create a sense of constant surveillance and give rise to a chilling effect. The wide discretion of state authorities and the covert nature of implemented measures generate a high risk of human rights violations. Therefore, one of the main challenges in human rights law is finding a balance between combating crime and protecting national security, on the one hand, and safeguarding human rights, on the other.  
Over the past few years, the Court of Justice of the European Union has delivered significant judgments on the compliance of legal regimes governing the retention and transmission of electronic communications data with EU law. When ensuring a fair balance between different interests, the CJEU appropriately considers both the threats present in the modern world and the importance of human rights protection.
The present article discusses the processing of personal data in the electronic communications sector under EU law and analyses the development of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Published: December 2024

The field of foreign relations has been subject to dispute between the President and the Government of Georgia since 2013. Apart from the representation power and conclusion of the international treaties, the matter of appointment and dismissal of the ambassadors and heads of the diplomatic representations has been subject to controversies followed by the constitutional claims dated 16 August 2022 and 10 June 2022 submitted by the Government against the President of Georgia.[1] In particular, for the first time in the history of Georgia, the matter of the constitutionality of the President’s inaction in appointment and dismissal of the ambassadors and the heads of the diplomatic representations has been made subject to the discussion of the Constitutional Court of Georgia.[2] However, the Government of Georgia revoked its constitutional claims on unknown grounds[3], therefore, the Court was deprived of the possibility to hear and consider the said constitutional claims.
Deriving from the above mentioned, the present work discusses the constitutional status of the President of Georgia and the role granted to the President in relation to the appointment and dismissal of the ambassadors and the heads of the diplomatic representations.

İklim Krizi Bir Kadın Hakları Krizi Mi?
Authors: Doğan Betül Kübra , Aykara Aslıhan
Published: December 2024

Dünya üzerindeki hiçbir köşe, iklim krizinin sonuçlarından muaf değilken dünyadaki hiçbir canlı iklim krizinin getirdiği olumsuzluklardan ayrı düşünülemez. İklim krizi her canlıyı ve her insanı etkileyen bir olgu olsa da her birey tarafından eşit deneyimlenmemektedir. Özellikle afetlerden etkilenen bölgelerde bulunanlar ve sosyal, ekonomik, kültürel ve politik eşitsizlikler nedeni ile yaşadıkları sorunlarla baş edebilmek için gerekli kaynaklardan ya da yapabilirliklerden yoksun olanlar iklim krizinden daha fazla etkilenebilmektedir. Diğer bir ifadeyle bireylerin yaş, sosyoekonomik durum, engellilik gibi farklı konularda sahip olduğu dezavantajlar, iklim krizini daha derinden deneyimlemelerine zemin hazırlayabilmektedir. İklim krizinin daha derinden deneyimlenmesinde etkili olan, iklim değişikliğinin getirdiği riskler ile eşitsizliklerin kesişiminde duran etkenlerden biri ise cinsiyettir. Toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliği iklim krizinin bireylere etkisinde rol oynayabilmekte, kişilerin deneyimleri cinsiyet ekseninde farklılaşabilmektedir. Bu çalışma, iklim krizi ve cinsiyet eşitsizliği konularını ele almakta olup kadınların ve kız çocuklarının iklim krizi nedeni ile yaşadıkları eşitsizlikleri görünür kılarak iklim krizi ile mücadelede toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinin önemini vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır.
Caught in the Middle: A Conceptual Framework for the Antecedents and Outcomes of Work-Family Guilt in Working Mothers from the Perspective of Gender Roles
Authors: Gerçek Merve
Published: December 2024

Although there has been progress in achieving gender equality, working mothers continue to encounter significant challenges balancing work and family roles, leading to work-family conflict (WFC) and subsequent feelings of guilt regarding WFC. Work-family guilt (WFG) is an emotional response to imbalances that arise from the demands of both work and family responsibilities. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework for the antecedents and outcomes of WFG among working mothers, addressing the gap in research regarding their guilt experiences. Drawing on the prior studies, this paper proposes that societal, organizational, and individual factors will interact, leading to WFC and subsequently causing WFG, which in turn results in some undesirable consequences in societal, organizational, and individual domains. Among the existing research on WFC, this study stands out for its comprehensive review of the determiners and consequences of WFG from a gender role perspective. The suggested framework seeks to provide guidance to working mothers, policymakers, managers, and human resource experts on reducing WFG among working mothers, thus enhancing their overall well-being and productivity. This study explores WFG from a gender standpoint, highlighting the significance of employing gender-sensitive strategies for addressing challenges at both individual, organizational, and societal levels.
Sosyal Medya Araçlarının Beden Güzelliği Tahakkümü: Estetik İşlemler
Authors: Yüksel Reyhan
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma “Bedene Estetik Müdahale Olgusuna Pierre Bourdieu Perspektifinden Bakmak” isimli doktora tezinin ilgili kısmının saha çalışma verilerinden desteklenerek oluşturulmuştur. Tezin nitel alan araştırması için hazırlanmış yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formunun sadece ilgili soru verileri kullanılmıştır. Bu sebeple görüşme formunun içinde “estetik işlemler üzerinde medya ve ünlü kişilerin etkisini” anlamak için oluşturulmuş iki sorudan elde edilen verilerden yararlanılmıştır. Bu veriler betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılarak yeniden yorumlanarak bu çalışmanın başlıkları ve içeriği oluşturulmuştur. Sosyal medya hesaplarından Instagram özelinde yapılan görüntü ve içerik paylaşımlarının bireylerin beden algıları üzerinde tahakküm oluşturucu işlev kazandığı görülmektedir. Bu algının oluşmasında ünlü kişilerin, sosyal medya fenomenlerinin (ikon, influencer, sanatçı, oyuncu, model… vb), cerrah hekim ve estetik merkezlerinin hesaplarından yapılan içerik paylaşımlarının etkileyiciliği dikkat çekmektedir. Bu paylaşımların oluşturduğu beden algısı bireylerin estetik işlemleri satın alması ve estetik operasyonla ilişkisinin belirlemesinde yönlendirici olabilmektedir. Bu yönlendirici etki estetik işlem farklılığı dikkate alınarak çalışılmıştır. Estetik düşünce ve davranışları yönlendiren etkinin cerrahi ve cerrahi olmayan işlemlerde farklılık oluşturduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Meta tüketim ürünleri olarak estetik işlemler farklı sembolik anlam temsiliyetine sahiptirler. Bu temsiliyet toplumsal grup farklılıklarına göre değişen anlamlar kazanır. Bireyin estetik işlem davranış ve düşüncelerini belirlemede Instagram içeriklerinin etkisi medikal estetik işlemler ile cerrahi estetik işlemlerde farklılaşmaktadır. Bu paylaşımlar medikal estetik işlemleri tercih etme ve yaptırma kararının verilmesi yönünde bireyi doğrudan etkilemektedir. Cerrahi işlemlerde ise birey sadece bu paylaşımların etkisiyle hareket etmemektedir. Instagram hesapları arasında cerrahların ve hekimlerin paylaşımlarının bireyin estetik işlemlerle ilişkisindeki yeri öncelenerek bu çalışma yapılmıştır.

Comportamiento de cultivos iniciadores en leche fermentada tipo yogurt conteniendo quinoa lavada, cocida y tostada
Authors: Calderón Valle Roberto Daniel
Published: December 2024

Lactobacillus bulgaricus y Streptococcus thermophilus forman parte de los cultivos iniciadores utilizados en la producción de leches fermentadas como el yogur. El comportamiento de estos cultivos puede modificarse de acuerdo a la variación del sustrato del cual se alimentan, condiciones de temperatura o tiempo de maduración. En esta ocasión se modificó el sustrato inicial con la adición de elementos que no provienen de la leche. La presencia de componentes no lácteos en la leche puede modificar el desempeño de estos microorganismos y manifestarse durante la fermentación y el almacenamiento del producto terminado. Se mezclaron tres tipos de harina de quinoa; a partir de semilla lavada (L), cocida (C) y tostada (T) con leche semidescremada comercial UHT y se fermentaron hasta pH 4,6 (al igual que el producto de control) que siempre fue la leche regular entera. Posteriormente, se analizó la población de los cultivos iniciadores hasta el día 21 del almacenamiento refrigerado. Las muestras se efectuaron en diferentes lotes, tiempos y réplicas para asegurar la veracidad de los resultados, luego se tabularon y ajustaron en EXCEL a la predicción del crecimiento de ambas bacterias. Los resultados sugieren que, en términos globales, el yogur control posee una mayor población microbiana con respecto a las leches fermentadas con quinoa en cualquiera de sus presentaciones.
