8. SINIF TÜRKÇE DERS KİTAPLARINDA DRAMA TEKNİKLERİNİN KULLANIMINA YÖNELİK BİR İNCELEME
Authors: TUNÇ Nihat , AKIN Erhan
Published: August 2023

Bir bilgiyi gerçek hayata aktarmanın en iyi yolu yaparak ve yaşayarak öğrenmektir. Öğrenme amaçlarının başarıya ulaşmasında öğrencilerin öğrenme sürecine etkin olmasını sağlayan yöntemlerin sınıf içerisinde kullanılmasıyla mümkün olabilecektir. Dramanın eğitim ile olan ilişkisi düşünüldüğünde birçok alanla etkileşim halinde olduğu görülür. Oyun ve yaşam durumlarındaki dramatik anların uzmanlarca, grup içi etkileşim süreçleri içinde yaratılması olan yaratıcı drama, eğitim alanında farklı tekniklerle öğrencilerin öğrenmesini kalıcı hale getirebilmektedir. Drama alanında birçok teknik kullanılmaktadır. “Dramatik oyun, dramatizasyon, doğaçlama, röportaj, rol kartı, uzman mantosu, altı şapkalı düşünme tekniği, münazara, toplantı tekniği, dedikodu halkası, toplu resim, forum tiyatro” bu tekniklerden bazılarıdır. Sekizinci sınıf Türkçe ders kitaplarında drama tekniklerinin kullanımını tespit etmeyi amaçladığımız bu çalışmamızda nitel araştırma tekniklerinden doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmış, kitaptaki metinler tek tek incelenip etkinliklerin drama tekniklerine uygunluğu tablolarla desteklenmiştir. Çalışma 2020/21 eğitim yılında kullanılan Türkçe ders kitabı ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Tablolar incelendiğinde; birinci temada dört etkinliğin, ikinci ve altıncı temalarda 1, üçüncü temada 3, beş, yedi ve sekizinci temalarda 2, etkinliğin yaratıcı drama tekniklerine uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Dördüncü temadaki etkinliklerde ise herhangi bir uygunluk tespit edilememiştir. Drama gibi bilgiyi kalıcılaştıran bir yöntemin etkinliklerde tercih edilmemesi çok büyük bir eksikliktir. Türkçe dersinin amacına ulaşabilmesi için öğrencilerin öğrenmesine destek olacak, dersi monotonluktan kurtaracak, öğrenmeyi ve eğlenmeyi sağlayan drama tekniklerine yer verilmesi gerekir. Kitap yazarları ileriki basımlarda tema etkinliklerini gözden geçirip bu büyük eksiğin giderilmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Speaking strategies play a vital role in enhancing communication skills and promoting meaningful engagement between speakers and their audiences. This research was aimed to investigate the both direct and indirect strategies used by students in order to succeed in their speaking lesson in English subject. The survey design was used in the research. The researcher gathered quantitative, numbered data via one-on-one questionnaires and interviews; and then, statistically analyzed the data to describe trends regarding question responses to answer the research questions. The samples were 60 students at the 12th grade of SMK Ma’arif V Kebumen in the academic year of 2022/2023. The survey revealed that in order to develop their speaking abilities, the students have adopted a number of direct and indirect speaking strategies. These strategies addressed a variety of areas, such as memory, cognition, compensation, metacognition, affective, and social interaction. Direct strategies are those that are explicitly taught to students. These include things like rehearsal, using visual, and using a dictionary. Indirect strategies are those that are not explicitly taught, but that students learn through experience. These include things like using planning, finding a speaking partner, and using humor. The study suggested that a combination of direct and indirect strategies can be effective in improving speaking skills. Teachers should consider using a variety of strategies to help their students improve their speaking skills. Keywords: Direct strategies, indirect strategies, speaking skills

The optical uses of Gd2O3 have attracted interest in optoelectronics and have increased its popularity in industry. With the use of density functional theory, the SCF, band structure and density of states of cubic Gd2O3are examined. For this,we create a Gd2O3 supercell with a scaling of (211) andexamine the electronic characteristics such as band gap and DOS by using DFT. The influence of Cd doping on morphologicaland electrical characteristics of Gd2O3 nanoparticles is also described in the current study, and the modified properties of Gd2O3 are subsequently examined at the supercell level by employing DFT. Calculations indicates that SCF is converged with total energy -689.288RY. After the convergence of SCF,a direct band gap has been found by computing the electrical band structure. This paper also show that cd doping has a massive effect on the gadolinium oxide structure. The results of lattice constants are found to be credible. In all polymorphic phases, Gd2O3 is ductile and mechanically stable.

Two new Western Australian species related to Hibbertia priceana (Dilleniaceae)
Authors: Thiele Kevin , Hammer Timothy
Published: August 2023

Hibbertia priceana is a rare species found in two localised areas in southern south-western Western Australia, near Ongerup and in the vicinity of Wickepin and Harrismith. Two new species that are morphologically similar to H. priceana but are disjunct and distinct from it are described in this paper. Hibbertia hapalophylla is a new, potentially geographically restricted and rare species first collected during botanical surveys for a mining project near Mount Holland in the Western Australian Goldfields. It was initially collected from, and only known from, disturbed areas on an active mine site, but larger populations were subsequently discovered on a nearby sandplain, from where is was likely introduced to the mine site on sand transported for construction purposes. The second new species, Hibbertia remanens, appears to be restricted to small areas of remnant vegetation near Cunderdin and Kellerberrin in the Western Australian wheatbelt. The three species differ mainly in their leaf shapes in section, with H. priceana having flat leaves with the abaxial lamina fully exposed, H. remanens having recurved leaf margins with the abaxial shallowly grooved either side of the midrib, and H. hapalophylla having strongly revolute margins with the abaxial lamina surface concealed within lacunae formed between the margins and midrib.

L’enigma dell’ombra: l’ombra portata come misura e presenza dell’altro
Authors: Iannizzotto Lorenzo Stefano
Published: August 2023

Shadow, a physical phenomenon that we experience every day and is intuitively easy to understand, does not seem to hide great mysteries. However, through the study of texts and works of Western figurative art, a different reality linked to its use can be observed. In fact, the presence of shadow in Western art and representation is profoundly discontinuous and non-linear, and it does not become more frequent with a greater mastery of representation techniques. There are authors who were knowledgeable about and studied the phenomenon in detail but nonetheless advised against its use or avoided it altogether.

For these reasons, we have decided to delve into the use and representation of shadow in figurative art and its significance, focusing specifically on two distinct artistic techniques. The objective of this article is to demonstrate: 1) that the use of shadow in figurative art and representation is not simply a coincidental fact or a mere attempt to imitate reality, but rather reveals a specific conscious intention of the artist to represent; 2) that there is a difference in the use of cast shadow, particularly regarding the presence or absence of the subject casting the shadow within the framed and represented scene.

To support this thesis, an interdisciplinary analysis of two examples is conducted, one from painting and one from cinema. However, due to the vastness of the time span and examples, it was necessary to narrow down the scope of research by limiting the analysis to two examples from the 20th century in painting and cinema: Giorgio de Chirico (1888 – 1978) and Ingmar Bergman (1918 – 2007).
Fusion-kitsch des arts performatifs chez Marcel Proust1
Authors: Eba Axel Richard
Published: August 2023

Marcel Proust’s novels certify kitsch by the presence of architecture, theater and fashion. The writer produced his works using textual accumulation and hybridization. These two processes call for other arts in romantic production. From this point of view, the baroque, gothic and modern architectures are represented in the texts through buildings tested by rhetorical descriptions. Images of theater and opera scenes accentuate the flow of kitsch. Ostentatious mode creations are also notified in the intrigues. Marcel Proust is inspired by performing arts to develop an aesthetic of plurality in his novels.
Tra «incivilimento» e «riordino»: le ambizioni di un grande teatro d’opera per Roma capitale (1789-1960)
Authors: Paoletti Matteo
Published: August 2023

During the nineteenth century the theatre building - and in particular the opera house - imposed itself as tangible proof of the civic progress of Western societies. As Mazzini theorised the “civilization of the multitudes” through the arts, the theatre became the place where this yearning could be pursued. The momentum of Italian theatre construction was impressive during the nineteenth century, both in the major centres and in the small provincial towns. Rome, from this point of view, represents a significant exception. Until the end of the 19th century, the city, although equipped with important venues of the old regime, did not have an opera house conceived in contemporary terms. To fill the gap, for about a century and a half, designers from different backgrounds will work to equip the capital with an opera house worthy of its aspirations. Drawing on rare or little-known sources, produced among others by architects Pietro Sangiorgi, Antonio Lovatti, and Marcello Piacentini, the contribution reflects on the positioning of a large opera house in the urban layout of the capital. From the papal Rome and the liberal age, to the fascist period, the longed opera house tries to give new, contemporary meanings to a building that will come to stand out for its fascinating outdatedness.
Astral Bodies. Elements of Georealism
Authors: Tusa Giovanbattista
Published: August 2023

This age is characterized by the increasing humanization of a planet more and more subject to representation, visualization and prediction. The future, however, seems to herald the emergence of forces indifferent to this historical process. Our present is thus the time of this contradiction, as new forces affect all strata of our lives like a diffuse but deep trauma. My text calls for a georealism that takes into account this time, a new form of planetary realism that assumes that our time is emptied of all representable content and thus open to its own infinity, open to the encounter with what is not given, either as horizon or as memory.
La zona d’ombra della teratologia. Un excursus sull’ermafrodito
Authors: Tortoli Caterina
Published: August 2023

This work focuses on a particular figure of the monster: the hermaphrodite who has been considered significant since ancient times. In Middle Ages, the hermaphrodites were executed because of their deformity. This attitude changed later on and they started to be condemned as perverts. During the XIX century, Teratology wanted to include them in a monsters’ classification but the scientists found this work very difficult because they were influenced by novelists who considered the hermaphrodite a perfection’s emblem. In this case, it’s important to underline that Balzac and Hugo wrote about “double” monsters. It means that Balzac talked about people who were both male and female, while Hugo talked about characters with both dark and sublime soul. Balzac in particular considered the androgyne perfect because he didn’t show significant differences. So, this essay wants to analyze the debates about hermaphrodite and its doubleness.

English Speech Production of Native Sinhala Speakers with Special Reference to Interlanguage Analysis
Authors: Wijayabandara H M Thisaranie
Published: August 2023

Native Sinhala speakers attempt to speak in English even prior to formal education regardless of the errors they make in speech production. This study is focused on interlanguage, the linguistic system behind the learner language of these native speakers, influenced by the first language and the target language. This research was conducted to analyze the impact of the Sinhala language on the English speech production of native speakers. A qualitative research approach was taken to initiate this research with 30 native Sinhala speakers, who informally learnt to speak English. They were asked to interpret a few simple English sentences to Sinhala. Each translated utterance was simultaneously recorded and analyzed to observe the produced patterns of the inter-language. Results indicate that the inter-language production of the speakers was visible in the structure of language and specific grammar rules about spoken English. Syntactic pattern, word order, misidentifying nouns and adjectives, omission of the ‘be verbs’, the misconception of verb tenses, and chaotic pronoun placement are included in the native language influence. The findings of this inter-language analysis concluded that the native language is a dominant factor in second language speech production. Competence in the first language is the main reason for this dominance since the speaker tries to perceive a second language most comfortably. Further, the importance of introducing Psycholinguistics in Sri Lanka is emphasized. Keywords: Inter-language; Learner language; Sinhala language; Speech production; Syntactic structure
UK Constitution: Should it be Codified
Authors: Mahingoda Chaga Bihari
Published: August 2023

A Constitution is a vital part of a State, as it encompasses the fundamental principles and rules upon which a state exists. Considering the Constitution of the United Kingdom (UK) and the Constitution of Sri Lanka, there is an apparent difference: Sri Lanka operates upon the powers derived from a Codified Constitution, whereas the UK does not have a Codified Constitution but rather an array of legislation, judge-made laws and regulations. The system of laws and regulations within the UK has been encompassed in an Uncodified Constitution. Several academics and organizations have advocated for the codification of the British Constitution based on a balance of the power of the executive, stability, and clarity hoping to provide a clearer and more straightforward arrangement of the fundamental rules and principles according to which the state is established and governed. However, other scholars have contested it on the basis that it would make the Constitution conservative and anti-rationalist, and that it would be a rather disruptive process. The EU referendum in 2016, the EU withdrawal and other reforms have further added to this debate. Within this article, we closely observe and dissect the ongoing debate on the codification of the UK Constitution. Keywords: British Constitution; Codified Constitution; Uncodified Constitution
Estimating the rarity of birds and its ecological context in the University of the Philippines Diliman Campus
Authors: Vallejo Benjamin, Jr. , Aloy Alexander
Published: August 2023

In this paper we use frequentist (classical) and Bayesian inference to estimate the rarity of birds in the University of the Philippines Diliman campus. Rare species have a detection probability of 1%. As sightings of certain species of birds are extremely rare, a frequentist approach to estimation will often result in overestimates of observation precision. Using McArdle’s rarity and Bayesian inference we estimated the probability of detecting rare species as between 4 to 10%. The Bayesian estimates are lower and may be a better method for estimating rarity. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the frequentist (24%) and Bayesian (25%) estimates are similar suggesting imprecision. Rare species are likely to be detected in areas of campus with common and highly abundant species. This may be an artifact of the fast paced Jokimäki method that was used in surveys of bird abundances. The higher probability of detecting rare species from the suggested 1% cutoff and similar CV estimates are likely due to the small data set used in the estimations and the lack of prior information. The ecological context of our observations is related to the increasing fragmentation of habitat in the campus as a consequence of urbanization.

Exploring Techniques for Poverty Level Prediction from Satellite Imagery
Authors: Marathe Vidya
Published: August 2023

Determining the poverty levels of various regions throughout the world is crucial in identifying interventions for poverty reduction initiatives and directing resources fairly. However, reliable data on global economic livelihoods is hard to come by, especially for areas in the developing world, hampering efforts to both deploy services and monitor/evaluate progress. Satellite images can be used to detect economic activity and infrastructure of a region in order to predict the wealth index (or poverty level) of a location. Research on poverty prediction from satellite images using deep learning has shown promising results. By leveraging the rich spatial information captured by satellite imagery, deep learning models can analyze various features and patterns to predict poverty levels. The aim of this exploratory survey is to comprehend and evaluate the work done in the field of poverty prediction and to understand how data captured using satellite can be mapped to various wealth and socio-economic wellbeing parameters. In this survey we examine different satellite image datasets that can be utilized for predicting poverty levels, while also reviewing previous research conducted in this domain. Ultimately, we propose an architecture that shows promise in delivering favourable outcomes for this task. IndexTerms—Image processing, Satellite Imagery, Deep Learning
Cloud-Based Dynamic Task Scheduling and Load Balancing Using a Variety of Intelligent Schemes
Authors: K Pavan Kumar
Published: August 2023

One of the main problems with cloud computing is load balancing, which divides tasks into virtual machines (VMs) with varying lengths and completion times. As a result, keeping VMs loaded up during job scheduling and allocation is difficult. In this research, we suggested secure load balancing in a cloud context and resource-aware dynamic job scheduling utilizing intelligent algorithms. The process for the planned work is as follows: (1). The Human Mental Search (HMS) method is used to cluster Real-Time and Non-Real Time jobs into four categories: Real-Time and Short, Real-Time and Long, Non-Real Time and Short, and Non-Real Time and Long. (2). Knowledge of Energy and Delay Combined Tasks Tasks are planned based on task clustering, and the fuzzy VIKOR method is used to schedule them in the order of priority. (3). Security Risks aware VM Clustering, which employs the Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering algorithm, consists of three distinct entities: a VM's information collector, which compiles data about VMs; a load monitor, which oversees the entire datacenter; and a decision maker, which assigns tasks by choosing the best VM. (4). Co-Resident assaults were stopped by the continuous-Actor-Critical-Algorithm (C- ACAL), which is used to pick the best VM. Using CloudSim, which measures performance in terms of response time, latency, resource utilization, throughput, energy consumption, and task execution success rate, the simulation is carried out.
Deep Neural Networks are Utilized in Energy Management Systems for identifying Theft of Electricity
Authors: S M Ruthwik
Published: August 2023

The installation of connected systems is essential for the identification of renewable energy thieves because it generate enormous volumes of the information, include information about customer behavior, that could potentially be identify electricity theft using machine learning and deep learning techniques. This project describes a method for detecting theft that employs extensive information in the time and frequency domains in a deep neural network-based classification approach. Through data interpolation and synthetic data generation procedures, we solve dataset flaws such as missing data and class imbalance issues. We evaluate and analyze the contribution of features from both the temporal and frequency domains, execute experiments in combined and reduced feature space using principal component analysis, and lastly add a minimal redundancy-based strategy to maximizing significance for determining what's most pertinent features. We increase the detection performance of power theft by optimizing hyper parameters with a Bayesian optimizer and using an adaptive moment estimation optimizer to run tests with varying values of critical parameters to identify the ideal settings that produce the greatest accuracy. Since we train the model with over and under sampling datasets, it provides the equal representation while training the model.

A Model for Migrating Relational Database to NoSQL Database
Authors: Shiriyannavar Pradeep
Published: August 2023

Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) is widely used to store the Data and Information. As we already know RDBMS can store the data in the form of table but if we want to know the complex data relationships and interconnected information, we have to convert the relational database to graph database. Professionals working with airline databases will be able to quickly query highly connected data thanks to graph databases' ability to quickly uncover and manage new and beneficial associations. Relational databases use expensive huge joins to query related data, whereas graph data-stores contain direct references to their neighboring nodes. In order to handle the enormous quantity of airline data being created at a very high pace, scalability was therefore greatly needed. Additionally, the majority of airline data is semi- or un-structured, necessitating a schema-less database. In this paper a methodology to issues that occurs while converting an Airline relational to a graph database. By utilizing the source's restrictions and schema. Conjunctive SQL searches over the source are supported by the method and converted into graphs. procedures that traverse the target. To demonstrate the viability of the solution and the effectiveness of query response across the target database, the experimental outcomes are shown.

TRADISI MEGIBUNG DI DESA AWANG MADYA KECAMATAN LINGSAR KABUPATEN LOMBOK BARAT PERSFEKTIF TEOLOGI SOSIAL
Authors: Windya Ida Made
Published: August 2023

The tradition of megibung (eating together) has existed since the Karangasem kingdom in Lombok under the leadership of I Gusti Anglurah Ketut Karagasem. This tradition is still carried out in the community, usually related to the implementation of the pañca yajña, but lately it has rarely been carried out because there has been a shift with the buffet system which is considered more economical. Apart from being efficient, this is due to the lack of understanding of the younger generation about the meaning contained in the megibung tradition. In fact, the megibung tradition has a social and theological significances. Therefore the author tries to examine the megibung tradition from the perspective of social theology, namely a critical study of socio religious activities. The data obtained through observation, interviews and documentation will be analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The research results will be useful for the younger generation of Hindus in Lombok to understand the meaning of the megibung tradition, so that the megibung tradition can be maintained. Keywords: Magibung Tradition, Social Theology.

Teenagers are the foundation for the nation in continuing the norms of state and religion which cover all members of society. Religion is one of the many choices in guiding and changing the negative behavior of these teenagers. The concept of Hinduism itself has many rules/teachings to be able to introduce where the life of the teenager will take him. To produce valid and reliable data, this research uses qualitative research methods. To produce data that is logical, this study carried out several stages of data sorting in the form of: 1). Reducing data, 2). Display data, 3). Verifying data and, 4). Interpreting research data. Related references greatly support the validity of a scientific work, therefore library techniques are also used through a literature survey on Google Scholar. The deviant behavior of these adolescents is beyond the limits of reason in this global era, there are many cases that make parents sad to see developments and behavior that are beyond the limits of their age. Hindu teachings contain a lot of ethics to fix all the negative characters caused by people with deviant characters. Parents, educators, and government participation must be active in promoting what is conceptualized in the teachings of Hinduism so that they can anticipate unwanted events and the golden generation is saved from influences that tend to damage youth.

His critically acclaimed debut feature, Hideouts (1986), established screenwriter and director Wolfram Paulus (1957–2020) as an important voice of New Austrian Film. Paulus devoted his career to chronicling his homeland and its inhabitants. Over the course of the 1990s, he transitioned from stylistically ambitious character studies for cinema to TV films with broad public appeal. Drama and comedy were his preferred genres. He also directed children’s films and dwelled on historical topics, mostly from the National Socialist period. Beyond the well-known fictional features, Paulus created experimental and documentary works. Moreover, he was a committed pedagogue and produced many educational films with pupils. This edited collection offers interdisciplinary perspectives on Paulus’ multifaceted oeuvre, which has previously received little scholarly attention. The chapters examine production and reception, motifs and aesthetic strategies, film education and unmade projects. This is complemented by a detailed filmography and interviews with Wolfram Paulus and his colleagues.

Introduction. Chemical burns occupy the first place among all esophageal diseases in children. Currently, to choose a tactics for treating this pathology and its complications is on the front burner in pediatrics.Material and methods. In 2001–2022, 2670 (100%) children with suspected chemical burns of the esophagus (CBE) from St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region were admitted to Filatov Children’s Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 5 in St. Petersburg. Of these, after primary fibroesophagogastroscopy (FEGS) burn lesions in the esophagus were revealed only in 1108 (41.5%) children. In 2001–2003, complications in the form of cicatricial stricture of the esophagus were registered in 22 (10.5%) children with CBE out of 209 (100%) patients. In the second group of patients, admitted in 2004–2022, the curative regimen was changed; as a result, out of 899 (100%) children esophageal stricture was detected only in 26 (2.9%). In this group of patients , the researchers applied a technique, developed by them, with optimal duration of diagnostics and volume of medical care. Of all patients with burns in the esophagus, perforation of the esophagus was registered in 7 cases. The tactics of their treatment and its effectiveness are described in the article.Results. A comprehensive curative approach allowed to reduce the number of complications after CBE, as well as the duration of treatment in children with cicatricial strictures. The authors also demonstrate satisfactory outcomes in children having burn lesions complicated with esophageal perforation, as well as the tactics of their treatment.Conclusion. Diagnostics and management of children with esophageal burns and their complications should be carried out in specialized hospitals having round-the-clock endoscopic service and trained pediatric surgeons, intensive care specialists experienced in managing such patients.
