GIS as an educational tool: Mapping cultural sites in greek space-time
Authors: Galani L. , Theodorakopoulou K. , Skentos A. , Kritikos G. , Pavlopoulos K.
Published: January 2017

This paper deals with the cartographical presentation of cultural succession in Greek space-time associated with core concepts of geographic and historical education. The pedagogic value of this study is to develop five distinct skills: sense of time-scale, historical and geographic comprehension, spatial analysis and interpretation, ability to perform geo-historical research, and procedure of geohistorical decision-making. The methodology is based on the calibration of a set of criteria for each cultural site that covers the topics of economy, geomorphology, society, religion, art and science. Further analysis of these data forms a geodatabase. In addition, palaeogeographic and historical maps of the cultural sites derived by the geodatabase provide information about temporal and spatial changes. As result, students will be able to develop a multidimensional and interdisciplinary approach, in order to reconstruct the evolution of the site.

Olvios, Rethis and Inachos Rivers are multistory drainage systems that occur in Northern Peloponnesus, and at the present day they have and a reversed, North to South, flow element. Dervenios, Skoupeikos and Fonissa Rivers are the misfit streams of Olvios and revealed as juvenile streams and discharge to the Corinth gulf. Agiorgitikos River is the misfit stream of Rethis River and Seliandros River is the juvenile stream. Asopos, Nemeas and Rachiani Rives are the misfit streams of Inachos River and they also discharge to the Corinth gulf. Asopos River characterized as re-established stream. Physical factors such as tectonic regime (active and inactive faults), lithology, erosion and distance from the source influenced the three drainage systems evolution and could be influence them also in the future. The increase of human activities both in their southern parts and in the distal parts close to the coast could be change the physical evolution of the studied drainages, producing a new wind gap in the coastal area and a lake or a lagoon backwards of the coastal area, destroying villages and towns.
PETROLOGICAL CHARACTERS OF THE EARLY CRETACEOUS BOEOTHIAN FLYSCH, (CENTRAL GREECE)
Authors: Kyriakopoulos K. , Karakitsios V. , Tsipoura-Vlachou M. , Barbera G. , Mazzoleni P. , Puglisi D.
Published: January 2017

This paper is aimed to study the petrographic characters of the Boeothian Flysch, an Early Cretaceous turbidite deposit which marks the boundary between the External/Internal Hellenides in central-southern Greece, in order to define a preliminary palaeogeographic reconstruction of the Pindos segment of the Alpine Tethys. The Boeothian Flysch is mainly made up by basal conglomerates and arenaceous-pelitic lithofacies, locally interlayered with Calpionellid micrite limestones. This formation is here supposed to belong to the Early Cretaceous flysch family, which marks the contact between the internal and external areas along all the western and central European Alpine Chains for more than 7,000 km, from the Gibraltar Arc to the Balkans via the Calabria-Peloritani Arc. Provenance of these flysch is commonly connected to internal areas, mainly made up by Hercynian crystalline basements and, locally, by ophiolitic complexes. The petrographic data obtained from representative sandstones of the Boeothian Flysch suggest a provenance from internal sources, formed by a Jurassic carbonate platform, metamorphic basements and by ophiolitic complexes, which can be identified with the Pelagonian Terranes (Auct.). An Early Cretaceous uplift and rejuvenation processes, probably related to the late Cretaceous tectogenesis, widely recorded in almost all the central-western Alpine Tethis, affected these internal domains with consequent production of abundant detrital supply in the innermost sector of the Pindos Ocean, whose external margin was bounded by the Parnassos microcontinent.

Authors: Theodosiou Ir.
Published: January 2017

During the last three years, the research project: “Geosites, geoparks contribution to sustainable development” aiming at recording and designating geosites and potential geoparks, as a means to sustainable development, funded from the 3rd Community Support Framework (CSF) programme, is developing at the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration of Greece (IGME). The project, according to its objectives, is divided in the following five sub-projects: 1: Identification, characterization, evaluation of geosites 2: Compilation of a DataBase and a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the geosites, geotrails and potential geoparks in the country. 3: Planning of walking and motoring geotrails around the geosites, in combination with other attractions of biotic, archaeological and cultural interest. 4: Specifications of the geoparks’ studies and planning for interpretation, tourism, marketing, development, operation and management. Drafting of complete management proposals for selected areas, in view of their development into geoparks and of their participation in international networks. 5: Promotion of the project’s objectives and benefits in international, national level and the local community, businesses and institutions. Compilation of interpretative, marketing material for tourism purposes, and for the community awareness on geological heritage conservation. The whole project is based on the systematic inventory of the geosites and the compilation of a GISaided database for the geosites, geotrails and potential geoparks. The framework of the research materialization, the procedural steps, as well as the methodological approach for its accomplishment, will be presented in this paper, focussing mostly in the first sub-project methodology as Geosites registration is the base for the whole project. The geosites, geotrails, potential geoparks Registry compiled with this project will function as a source of information for various uses: national and international level public or private sector projects regarding planning and conservation of nature, education and tourism.

Planning of walking and motoring geotrails around the geosites, in combination with other attractions of biotic, archaeological and cultural interest, as well as creation of interpretative, awareness printed material relevant to the geosites is one of the objectives of the project “Designation of geosites – geoparks, contribution to sustainable development”. It is a project of the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration (IGME), funded from the 3rd community support framework program. Furthermore, this printed material which is also available in digital form aided by the project’s data base and the geographic information system is used to develop an application for display at the IGME museum, exploiting the potential of multimedia and interactive technologies (e.g. touch screens), in a way that will attract the interest of the visitor on the geological history and at the time entertain him. Making of the right interpretive products will result in the designation of the geological heritage and the establishment of new forms of alternative tourism, a modern tourist trend which will help in the social and economic development of each region. Designation of geosites will also have a positive impact on the awareness and knowledge of geological history at all levels of education, in our country as well as internationally

SLOPE STABILIZATION ON CHALKOUTSI – DILESI ROAD, AT PIGADAKIA LOCATION, ATTICA PREFECTURE
Authors: Mourtzas N. D. , Symeonidis K. , Passas N. , Alkalais E. , Kolaiti E.
Published: January 2017

A series of ongoing landslides occurred at the steep coastal slopes at Pigadakia location, on the road connecting Chalkoutsi and Dilesi towns, at NE Attica. These landslides caused severe disruption on local traffic. Engineering geological study revealed the local geological conditions and the complex mechanism of the landslides. Site is located on the Neogene deposits composed mainly by layers of sandy or silty clays, marly clays with thin layers of conglomerates. Multiple landslides occurred on the steep costal slopes at a length of 280m parallel to the coast line. On the upper slopes which are composed by loose clayey materials typical circular failures occurred while on the lower ones, composed by hard clays and marls, discontinuities delineate failures under the weathering influence of sea waves. Six boreholes were drilled with piezometers and inclinometers installed in order to investigate the progress of the failures. The stabilization of the upper slopes included the use of soil nails covered with geocells. The lower slopes stabilization included the protection from sea wave erosion by covering slopes with a rock fill embankment.

Published: January 2017

In August 2007, a wildfire affected an area of approximately 135.000m2 in the Municipality of Zacharo, located in Southern Greece at the Peloponnesus peninsula, causing the loss of 41 human lives, and having a dramatic impact on both ecology and economic-social welfare. The present study applies a simplified model for the evaluation of soil erosion and the susceptibility to landslide manifestation on the hydrological basins of the Zacharo Municipality, as consequence of wildfire. The methodology was based on the evaluation and analysis of territorial parameters such as lithology, geomorphology, hydrography and land cover, which are thought to be directly or indirectly related to soil erosion. The final product was a series of hazardous maps showing pre and post-fire soil erosion. An almost double increase in the post-fire area of high vulnerability was identified, covering 48% of the total area, and affecting dramatically the nearby communities. The outcome of this study helped the local and prefectural authorities to address certain mitigating measures in order to face the disastrous consequences of post-fire soil erosion

Published: January 2017

The aim of this study is to investigate and recognize karst landforms in the area of Ksiromero (Aitoloakarnania, Western Greece) based on medium resolution remote sensing data. In order to highlight karstic structures appropriate and innovative methodologies of image analysis have been developed, applied and compared. In particular, the original Landsat 5 TM bands have been, first, ad-hoc stretched and then processed to obtain the so-called Tasseled Cap Features and the Principal Component images. Finally, a comparative study between the two methods has been carried out.

BRACKISH KARST SPRINGS SIMULATION WITH “MODKARST” MODEL UNDER NOT ENOUGH DATA CONDITIONS (THE CASE OF THE “POTAMI” SPRING AT HIMARA ALBANIA)
Authors: Maramathas A. , Gialamas J. , Pambuku A. , Beshku H. , Vako E.
Published: January 2017

A simulation is presented of the operation of a brackish karst spring with the MODKARST deterministic mathematical model under not enough data conditions. MODKARST is a deterministic mathematical model for karst springs, able to accommodate brackish water. It incorporates mass and energy balances in a system of reservoirs properly connected that approximates the karst system and the sea. A complete fitting for this model needs field measurements about spring discharge and spring water chloride concentration at least for a hydrological year. The particular case analysed is the “Potami” brackish karst spring at Himara in Albania. MODKARST simulated the hydrograph along with the variation with time of the chloride concentration. The fitting of the model was based only on chloride concentrations measurements of the spring water that have taken place from 1/5/2007 till 27/12/2007, since there were not spring discharge measurements except for a single one, which simply gave the order of magnitude of this parameter. From the simulation of the model, information was drawn about the recharge area, the effective infiltration coefficient and the dominant seawater intrusion mechanism of the spring. Taking the above information into account, a set of proposals for the sustainable development of the spring was sketched.
USE OF STABLE ISOTOPES IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE MEAN ALTITUDE OF RECHARGE AND THE INVESTIGATION OF FUNCTION MECHANISM OF SPRING WATERS IN ARGOLIS PENINSULA (GREECE)
Authors: Matiatos I. , Alexopoulos A. , Zouridakis N.
Published: January 2017

In the present study, the isotopic composition (δ18Ο) of several spring waters in Argolis peninsula is examined. The use of the specific isotope aimed at the determination of the altitude of recharge areas, while the credibility of the extracted results was verified by in situ geological observations. The applied methodology included the construction of a linear diagram which correlates the stable isotopic values (δ18Ο) in meteoric waters and the altitude. Isotopic data, concerning meteoric waters, came from: a) rain gauge stations of GNIP network (IAEA/WMO), b) rain tanks and selected wells located in Mt. Arachnaio, c) improvised rain collectors which were put in several sites in the peninsula. A decrease of 0.45‰ δ18Ο per 100m altitude was determined. The average isotopic composition of the examined springs, as far as δ18Ο is concerned, resulted from 14 sampling periods between October 2005 and March 2008. This 18O-content of spring waters was used to derive the recharge area and consequently to evaluate the mechanism of water renewal.

La costruzione di Zante in Foscolo e Kalvos
Authors: Paschalis Michael
Published: January 2017

Στη μελέτη του με τίτλο «Οι πηγές της έμπνευσης του Κάλβου», ο Κ.θ. Δημαράς επέμεινε ιδιαίτερα στη «συγκίνηση» που ενέπνευσε την Ωδή «Ο Φιλόπατρις », συγκίνηση που «υπήρξε αρκετά ισχυρή για να επιζήσει στην επίπονη αισθητική επεξεργασία». Όμοια, ο Οδυσσέας Ελύτης, στο γνωστό δοκίμιο που τιτλοφορείται «Η αληθινή φυσιογνωμία και η λυρική τόλμη του Ανδρέα Κάλβου», υποστήριξε πως στην Ωδή αυτή «το αίσθημα διατηρεί ακόμα την ένταση μιας ευνόητης φλόγας». Αντίθετα, από τη συστηματική φιλολογική μελέτη του Filippo Maria Pontani «L'Ode a Zante di Kalvos» συνάγεται πως στην περιγραφή της Ζακύνθου δεν υπάρχει ίσως ούτε ίχνος προσωπικού βιώματος. Φαίνεται, δηλαδή, πως η εικόνα του νησιού έχει κατασκευαστεί σε υψηλότατο ποσοστό από υλικά που προέρχονται από την ποίηση του Foscolo και αποτελεί έτσι ένα τυπικό ποιητικό παλίμψηστο. Τα προσωπικά βιώματα του Κάλβου στο σημείο αυτό είτε ήταν ανίσχυρα είτε, πράγμα πιθανότερο, δεν επιδίωξαν να διασπάσουν τη συμπαγή επιφάνεια που είχε διαμορφώσει η αισθητική τού νεοκλασικισμού και η ιδεολογία της αναπαραγωγής του προτύπου. Στην αυθεντία του Ομήρου, του Ησιύδου, του Θεόκριτου και του Βιργιλίου και όχι στις προσωπικές του αναμνήσεις κατέφυγε ο Foscolo για να κατασκευάσει την εικόνα της Ζακύνθου και με τη σειρά του, ο ιταλοθρεμμένος Κάλβος κατέφυγε, κατά κύριο λόγο, στην αυθεντία του Foscolo. Το παρόν άρθρο εξετάζει, εντελώς ενδεικτικά, δύο στοιχεία που συνδέονται με το παλίμψηστο της καλβικής Ζακύνθου. Συγκεκριμένα ανιχνεύει: α) τη «στρατηγική της οικειοποίησης», με εργαλείο την οποία ο Foscolo οικοδομεί την εικόνα της Ζακύνθου (που κληρονομεί ο Κάλβος), δίνοντας της μια θέση ισότιμη όχι μόνο προς τα ησιόδεια Κύθηρα αλλά και προς την ομηρική Ιθάκη· β) το ποιητικό διακείμενο μιας ανορθογραφίας («κήτρων»), η οποία αποδίδει το φωσκολικό «cedro» («κίτρο» και «κέδρος») και, μέσω αυτού, εγγράφει τα ταπεινά εσπεριδοειδή στην ομηρική και την ησιόδεια βίβλο της καταγωγής του νησιού.

Η συγγραφέας στη μελέτη της προχωρεί σε διερεύνηση των νέων σχέσεων που δημιουργούνται ανάμεσα στη μυθοπλαστική πεζογραφία και την εμπειρική πραγματικότητα, όπως αυτή διαμορφώνεται στην εποχή μας με την ανάπτυξη των τεχνολογιών της άμεσης επικοινωνίας και της μαζικής διάδοσης της πληροφορίας. Υποστηρίζει ότι για τον προσδιορισμό της μυθοπλαστικής πεζογραφίας, η σχέση με την πραγματικότητα, ανεξάρτητα με τη μεταβλητότητα της σχέσης αυτής, αποτελεί ουσιαστική προϋπόθεση. Ωστόσο, οι νέες τεχνολογίες (τηλεόραση, Internet κτλ.) διευρύνουν στις διαστάσεις του πλανήτη ολόκληρου τα όρια της πραγματικότητας, ταυτισμένης ως τώρα με το βίωμα και τις εμπειρίες ενός «γνωρίζοντος υποκειμένου», παρέχουν συχνά μέσω της επιλογής και της σκηνοθετημένης παρουσίασης της πληροφορίας διαστρεβλωτική εικόνα του κόσμου, εισάγουν επιπλέον την έννοια της εικονικής πραγματικότητας, η οποία, όμως, από άποψη ψυχολογική, αποθηκεύεται στη μνήμη ως αυθεντική γνώση. Όλα αυτά καθιστούν προβληματική την έννοια της ίδιας της πραγματικότητας και θέτουν ερωτήματα του τύπου: • Σε σχέση με ποια πραγματικότητα θα προσδιορίζεται πλέον η λογοτεχνική μυθοπλασία, τόσο στο επίπεδο της γραφής και της ποιητικής της όσο και στο επίπεδο της πρόσληψης της; • Ποια είναι —ή θα είναι— η στάση της λογοτεχνικής μυθοπλασίας απέναντι σε αυτήν τη νέα πραγματικότητα; • Από πού οι μυθιστοριογράφοι αντλούν —ή θα αντλούν— τα βιώματα, το προκειμενικό υλικό και τη θεματική τους; Ως απάντηση στα παραπάνω ερωτήματα η συγγραφέας αφενός προβαίνει σε ορισμένες διαπιστώσεις ως προς τον χαρακτήρα των παραγόμενων μυθοπλαστικών έργων των τελευταίων ετών (έργα επιστημονικής φαντασίας, μυθιστορήματα τρόμου, έργα που παρέχουν μια ισοπεδωτική και παγκοσμιοποιημένη αναπαράσταση του κόσμου) και αφετέρου, καταθέτει ορισμένες σκέψεις της ως προς τον πιθανό μελλοντικό χαρακτήρα της πεζογραφίας (καταγγελία της απόστασης ανάμεσα στην υπαρκτή και στη διαμεσολαβημένη πραγματικότητα μέσω της παρωδίας ή, αντίθετα, εγκατάλειψη κάθε προσπάθειας αναφοράς σε μια πραγματικότητα αναπόφευκτα συγχεόμενη πλέον με τα είδωλα της και προσφυγή στον ποιητικό αυτοστοχασμό που προσφέρουν η κατάδυση  στα ψυχικά βάθη του υποκειμένου και η παράδοση στη μαγεία των ονειρικών εικόνων του υποσυνειδήτου).

Ορφέας ταξιδευτής: Από τις αρχαίες ελληνικές πηγές στην ποίηση του Κωστή Παλαμά
Authors: Politou-Marmarinou Hélène
Published: January 2017

Le but de l'auteur est de montrer que le mythe littéraire d'Orphée qui, sous des aspects divers, parcourt toute la création poétique de Kostis Palamas, ne sort ni directement ni automatiquement des sources premières, les textes grecs anciens - tout comme Athéna dans son armure sortit de la tête de Zeus - mais qu'il y arrive après un long voyage et à travers des métamorphoses sous la plume de poètes étrangers, pour se transformer finalement en mythe personnel. Elle appuie son analyse sur une étude comparée de trois textes de Palamas (un extrait de La Flûte du Roi, la dernière partie des Douze Paroles du Tzigane et le dernier sonnet des «Patries») avec des textes grecs anciens (Apollodore d'Athènes, Apollonios de Rhodes, les Argonautiques d'Orphée) et des poèmes de Leconte de Lisle, de Théodore de Banville et d'André Chénier. L'auteur conclut sur la remarque que les noyaux constants du mythe personnel de Palamas, à savoir la fusion du panthéisme orphique dans le scientisme de son époque et la foi permanente en l'éternité de la Poésie, sont le résultat d'un processus intertextuel, à travers la réception personnelle de l'ancien mythe orphique par les poètes français.

Germany’s Willkommenskultur: Trade Unions, Refugees and Labour Market Integration
Authors: Bergfeld Mark
Published: January 2017

This article investigates the relationship between German trade unions and refugees by focusing on union policies and practices aimed at integrating refugees into the labour market and wider society. Based on web research, newspaper articles, participant observation and internal documents, this article shows that unions follow a “logic of optimisation” in their support of the state’s migration and asylum policies. As employers aim to undermine existing labour standards, unions’ strategies of integration run up against limits. This article further finds that the unions’ positive stance toward refugees is based on Germany’s labour shortage, demographic trends and their commitment to anti-racism.
High fat feeding unmasks variable insulin responses in male C57BL/6 mouse substrains

Published: January 2017

Mouse models are widely used for elucidating mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes. Genetic background profoundly affects metabolic phenotype; therefore, selecting the appropriate model is critical. Although variability in metabolic responses between mouse strains is now well recognized, it also occurs within C57BL/6 mice, of which several substrains exist. This within-strain variability is poorly understood and could emanate from genetic and/or environmental differences. To better define the within-strain variability, we performed the first comprehensive comparison of insulin secretion from C57BL/6 substrains 6J, 6JWehi, 6NJ, 6NHsd, 6NTac and 6NCrl. In vitro, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion correlated with Nnt mutation status, wherein responses were uniformly lower in islets from C57BL/6J vs C57BL/6N mice. In contrast, in vivo insulin responses after 18 weeks of low fat feeding showed no differences among any of the six substrains. When challenged with a high-fat diet for 18 weeks, C57BL/6J substrains responded with a similar increase in insulin release. However, variability was evident among C57BL/6N substrains. Strikingly, 6NJ mice showed no increase in insulin release after high fat feeding, contributing to the ensuing hyperglycemia. The variability in insulin responses among high-fat-fed C57BL/6N mice could not be explained by differences in insulin sensitivity, body weight, food intake or beta-cell area. Rather, as yet unidentified genetic and/or environmental factor(s) are likely contributors. Together, our findings emphasize that caution should be exercised in extrapolating data from in vitro studies to the in vivo situation and inform on selecting the appropriate C57BL/6 substrain for metabolic studies.

CoPt-C and FePt-C nanocomposite thin films were prepared by a pulsed filtered vacuum arc deposition technique. Thermal annealing was performed in vacuum at various temperatures. The dependence of the magnetic properties on the carbon fraction and annealing temperature was studied. Both x-ray diffraction and magnetic force microscopy analyses confirmed the formation of nano-crystallites of face-centered-tetragonal phase of CoPt or FePt in the carbon matrix after annealing at a sufficiently high temperature. For the film with a particular composition of Fe43Pt35C22, the coercivity and the grain size were observed to increase with increasing annealing temperature, up to a value of 3.5 kOe at an annealing temperature of 650°C, and with a grain size about 10.5 nm.

The rapid adoption of damascene copper technology has brought about an increased need to understand and control microstructure in the barrier and metal layers during processing. We have developed and implemented a methodology for rapidly characterizing thin film polycrystalline microstructures on 200 mm Si substrates using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) based metrology tool to measure crystallographic texture and phase in a time frame suitable for in-line applications. The acquired data can be used as a direct measure of the deposition process in terms of film quality, reproducibility and stability over time. The spatial distribution of crystallographic texture and phase can be measured on a single wafer in order to check within wafer uniformity. These same measurements can also be carried out at predetermined intervals on wafers from single deposition tools, with the results used to create a database that can be applied to process control trend charting and to the establishment of acceptance criteria. The methodology developed makes use of several novel data analysis and collection techniques, such as the use of a direct matrix transformation method to determine the orientation distribution function (ODF) from a group of truncated pole figures. Useful quantitative outputs of the ODF, such as volumetric fractions of crystallographic texture components, can be used in quantifying texture evolution within and between wafers. On-the-fly texture compensation can also be used to generate useful quantitative phase and film thickness measurements. We present the principles of operation of this metrology tool and selected examples collected in the IBM's Advanced Semiconductor Technology Center (ASTC), East Fishkill, NY.
Texture Development and Twinning in Polycrystalline Gold Thin Films
Authors: Cefalu Rachel E. , King Alexander H.
Published: January 2017

Gold thin films have a {111} texture component that strengthens during heating. We show that this texture can be affected by the formation of twins, which may be influenced by the substrate material. Gold thin films were evaporated onto rock salt and glass substrates, and incrementally annealed without removal from the substrate. The texture was mapped using an area detector x-ray diffractometer. The films showed a primary {111} fiber texture and a secondary {200} fiber texture on both substrates with the addition of a {511} fiber texture component, which is much more pronounced on rock salt than on other substrates. The {511} surface normal derives from a twin rotation, showing that there is more twinning on rock salt than on glass although there is no lattice matching between the rock salt and gold.

Cu may diffuse into the active areas of semiconductors resulting in degradation of the devices. Therefore Cu is isolated from silicon wafers by barrier layers. In this study, copper films were deposited onto silicon substrates coated using polycrystalline Ta3N5 and amorphous α-C:H barrier by the partially ionized beam deposition technique at 6 kV bias, to investigate an influence of barrier layer structure on texture and microstructure of Cu films. After deposition, films were annealed under vacuum. Texture of the films was studied by X-ray diffraction and further microstructural analysis of the copper films was performed by orientation imaging microscopy. Results of the structural analysis reveal large (100) grains in films deposited on α-C:H barrier layer and a bi-modal texture in films on Ta3N5.

Indium tin oxide is one of the most used transparent conducting oxides. In order to reduce the processing thermal budget and enhance compatibility of these films for such applications as transparent electrodes for solar cells and flat panel displays, lower deposition temperatures are desirable. The addition of a non-thermal energy source during deposition, in this case, a mercury lamp, has the ability to lower the required substrate temperature during processing while increasing the oxygen content of the deposited film through the added contribution of ionized species into the deposited material. We investigated the microstructure of UV-assisted pulsed laser deposited indium tin oxide films. Comparisons between the UV and non-UV films were made in order to judge the effectiveness of the UV radiation in achieving desirable properties.
SATIN ALMA GÜCÜ PARİTESİ YAKLAŞIMI İLE TÜRKİYE’DE REEL DÖVİZ KURU YANLIŞ DENGELENMESİNİN BELİRLENMESİ: YAPISAL KIRILMALI VE DOĞRUSAL OLMAYAN BİRİM KÖK TESTLERİ İLE BİR ANALİZ

Published: January 2017

Reel döviz kuru ekonominin geniş alanlarına nüfuz eden önemli bir değişkendir ve reel döviz kurunun seviyesi politika yapıcılar açısından bir sinyal olarak algılanmaktadır. Bu nedenle reel döviz kurunun denge seviyesinden kalıcı olarak uzaklaşması ekonomi açısından önemli bir problemdir ve bu durum iktisat literatüründe “reel döviz kuru yanlış dengelenmesi” olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Reel döviz kuru yanlış dengelenmesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla çok sayıda alternatif modeller mevcuttur. Ancak yanlış dengelenmenin ölçülmesi için geliştirilen en eski model olmasına rağmen halen en popüler model olan satın alma gücü paritesi teorisi yanlış dengelenmenin ölçülmesi açısından bir çıkış noktası olarak görülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Türkiye için yanlış dengelenme, satın alma gücü paritesi çerçevesinde, birinci nesil birim kök testleri, yapısal kırılmalı birim kök testleri ve doğrusal olmayan birim kök testleri aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular Türkiye için hesaplanan reel döviz kuru serilerinin seviyelerinde durağan olmadığını ve dolayısıyla reel döviz kurlarının yanlış dengelendiğini göstermektedir.
Promoting Socially Just Healthcare Systems: Social Work’s Contribution to Patient Navigation
Authors: Desrosiers Patricia Louise , Mallinger Gayle , Bragg-Underwood Tonya
Published: January 2017

Patient navigation is an emerging area of healthcare practice that uses an interdisciplinary and integrated care model designed to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes. The authors define patient navigation, delineate the alignment of social work competencies with patient navigator requirements, and argue for a clear social work role and presence as patient navigators in interdisciplinary healthcare delivery. Social workers are well-equipped to carry out a variety of patient navigator responsibilities due to their unique skill of social justice advocacy as a macro-level intervention. Through involvement in patient navigation, social work leaders can promote the development of socially just healthcare systems that respect the dignity and worth of all patients.
Juxtaposing Dreams and Loss: The Lived Experience of Homeownership and Foreclosure
Authors: Murphy-Nugen Amy B. , Hensley Beck Donna
Published: January 2017

Symbolically and historically, the attributes associated with homeownership are positive; however, in light of the 2006 housing crash and subsequent 2008 financial crisis, scholars and laypeople continue to reassess the sacred position homeownership holds in U.S. culture and the market economy. Using an interpretative phenomenological analysis, this study explored the meanings that five former homeowners associate with the lived experience of foreclosure. The findings reveal a juxtaposition that intersects the hopes and dreams of homeownership with the grief and loss of foreclosure. This polarizing experience uncovers the need for innovative policy and practice interventions. A discussion of implications for social work policy and practice include strengthening the bridge of micro- and macro-level interventions and addressing hopes, dreams, disenfranchised grief, and loss in the context of homeownership and foreclosure.

Published: January 2017

The Affordable Care Act specifies mothers living with postpartum depression (PPD) are a group in need of services. Although mothers with PPD prefer to receive services from social workers than from professionals from other disciplines, limited research has addressed where social workers learn how to screen for PPD, the instruments they use, in what contexts they screen, and at what point during the perinatal period they screen mothers. The authors used an online survey to study a national sample of perinatal social workers (n=261) on their screening practices of mothers with PPD. More than half (n=149, 57.1%) of the respondents indicated they neither learned how to screen nor how to diagnose PPD during their undergraduate or graduate school education. Despite the availability of easy-to-use PPD screening instruments, only 25% (n=66) of the respondents indicated they have used any screening instruments. Of added concern is that many of the respondents indicated they do not consult the professional literature on PPD from social work and other disciplines to guide them in their practice. We recommend social workers integrate relevant findings from evidence-based research about PPD into their practice as appropriate, and that BSW and MSW curricula incorporate relevant information on PPD into their programs.

Published: January 2017

Background: Jaundice in pregnancy has potentially serious consequences for maternal and fetal health. The cardinal features of hepatobiliary disease may include jaundice, pruritus, abdominal pain; nausea, vomiting, and a variety of liver biochemical test abnormalitiesChallenges involve making the diagnosis and the methods of treatment and their safety for both the mother and the baby.Methods: Based on inclusion criteria, 120 pregnant women were selected from Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, MGMMC and MYH Indore from 1Aug 2014 to 1st August 2015.Patients were categorized according to serum bilirubin level. Basic investigations done and associated complications studied and correlated according to the severity and degree of jaundice.Results: 60% of the patients were aged between 20 and 30 years. 54% were primigravida. 83.3% lived in rural areas while 74.27% came in emergency. Maternal mortality was found highest in the third trimester and when the serum bilirubin crossed 5mg/dl. 43.34% patients with jaundice developed acute kidney injury with serum creatinine level above the cut-off. INR was deranged in 47.5% of the patients. The most common complication seen in our study group was that of HELLP closely followed by multi organ dysfunction and encephalopathy. 67% of the patients delivered vaginally, while 20% went under LSCS. Maternal mortality was 32.5% and perinatal outcome was poor with 50% mortality and 25% nursery admission. 62% of the patients who died were referred from a peripheral health centre.Conclusions: Liver disease can cause significant morbidity and mortality in both pregnant women and their infants. Better identification and treatment of mothers and fetuses at risk may have far-reaching implications for maternal and child health. Monitored intensive care gives a long term pay off in the maternal and fetal outcome.

Gestational trophoblastic diseases are abnormalities of the trophoblastic tissue development. They have Β-hCG as tumour marker, similar clinical manifestations but different pathological features, management and prognosis. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia includes all forms of gestational trophoblastic disease that are invasive and/or metastasize and correspond to 10% of this group of diseases. The authors performed a retrospective review of all patients referred to our department between 1st January 2011 and 30th June 2016. Presenting symptoms, Β-hCG levels, obstetric and personal history and microscopic features were reviewed. 4 cases were identified - 2 invasive complete and 1 partial hydatidiform moles and 1 placental site trophoblastic tumour. Management and follow-up were individualized. Neither persistence nor recurrences were diagnosed after primary treatment. These case series highlights the importance of an accurate diagnosis and a long-term follow-up considering the risk of persistency or malignancy, as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia usually have good response to the adequate therapy.
