15 Temmuz sonrası asker sivil ilişkilerinin demokratik dönüşümü
Authors: Maviş Nazım
Published: September 2024

Demokrasilerde ana tartışma konularından birisini asker-sivil ilişkileri oluşturmaktadır. Silahlı kuvvetlerin seçilmiş hükümetlere bağlılığını sağlamak önemli bir demokratik norm olarak kabul edilir. Türkiye'de asker sivil ilişkileri sorunlu bir seyir izlemiştir. Darbe ve müdahaleler; askerin, sivil ve siyasi hayat üzerindeki etkisini kalıcı ve sürekli kılan vesayet mekanizmaları Türkiye'nin demokratikleşme sürecinin önemli bir meselesi olagelmiştir. Türkiye’de AB uyum yasaları asker sivil ilişkilerinin demokratik dönüşümü açısından önemli bir başlangıç olmuştur. Ancak yine de kapsamlı demokratik dönüşüm “15 Temmuz Darbe Teşebbüsü”nden sonraki düzenlemelerle gerçekleşmiştir. Hükümet 15 Temmuz sonrası çıkarttığı kanun hükmünde kararnamelerle asker sivil ilişkilerinin demokratik dönüşümü açısından önemli adımlar atmıştır. Genelkurmay Başkanı ve kuvvet komutanları ayrı ayrı olmak üzere Milli Savunma Bakanlığına bağlanmıştır. Jandarma ve Sahil Güvenlik Komutanlığı İçişleri Bakanlığına bağlanmıştır. Askerin atama, terfi ve tayin sistemi üzerinde MSB’nin yetkileri artırılmış; YAŞ’ın üye yapısı, çalışma ilkeleri ve kararları bakımından seçilmiş hükümet lehine güçlü yetki aktarımları yapılmıştır. MGK’nın yapısı sivilleştirmiştir. Askeri mahkemeler kaldırılmıştır. Askeri okullar kapatılmış, Milli Savunma Üniversitesi kurulmuştur. MSÜ yönetiminin sivilleşmesi, Kara Harp Okulunun kapatılması ve benzeri reformlar askerin demokratik zihin inşası açısından önemli adımlar olarak görülmüştür. RTÜK, TRT ve YÖK vb. kuruluşlarda asker üye bulundurma uygulamasından vazgeçilmiştir. Asker sivil ilişkilerinin demokratik standardı olarak önerilen birçok konu 15 Temmuz’dan sonra darbe teşebbüsünün oluşturduğu ortamın hükumete verdiği güç ve cesaretle gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Authors: Nurdun Rahman
Published: September 2024

Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde, Türkiye, Hindistan, Kore ve Çin gibi ülkeler, kalkınma işbirliğinde önemli birer aktör olarak ortaya çıkmışlardır. 11 Eylül 2001 sonrasında, özellikle ABD ve Japonya'nın yardım stratejilerinde güvenlik ve çatışma çözümüne odaklanma eğilimleri gözlemlenmiştir. OECD'nin Kalkınma Yardımları Komitesi yardım etkinliğine, koordinasyona ve koşulsuz yardıma öncelik vermektedir. Türkiye, hem yardım veren hem alıcı ülke olarak, son on yılda yardım çabalarını stratejik olarak genişletmiş ve küresel katılım hedefleriyle uyumlu hale getirmiştir. Türkiye, mesleki eğitim, tarım ve sağlık gibi alanlara odaklanarak göreceli üstün olduğu sektörlerde, Afrika, Orta Doğu, Uzak Doğu ve Latin Amerika bölgelerine yardım sağlamıştır. Bununla birlikte, tek taraflılık ve insani krizler, yardım davranışlarını olumsuz etkilemiştir. Bu nedenle, dayanışma için ortaklıkların teşvik edilmesi ve bağışçı ülkelerin sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine uygun barışçıl bir ortamın desteklenmesi giderek daha fazla önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışma, kalkınmanın evrimini özetlemekte, Türkiye'nin kalkınma yardımına ilişkin bakış açısını ele almaktadır ve kalkınma işbirliğinin barış ve güvenliği teşvik etmedeki kilit rolünü vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca bu çalışma, kalkınma evrimine odaklanan bir analizle başlamakta, ardından Türk yardım algısını detaylı olarak ele almakta ve son olarak kalkınma işbirliği örnekleri üzerinden barış ve güvenliğin teşvik edilmesinin önemine odaklanmaktadır.

Published: September 2024

Contextual information can shape the aesthetic judgements of music compositions. Recently, a study proposed the existence of an AI composer bias (Shank et al., 2023); namely, listeners tend to like music less when they think (or are told) that it was composed by an AI. In this online study (N = 120), we used a cross-over experimental design to verify whether such bias extends to audiovisual music performance. The participants rated three videos of classic piano music performances in two versions with identical audio: one with a professional pianist who pretended to play, and one with the piano playing automatically, allegedly thanks to an AI. As hypothesised, the participants rated the performances as more likeable, engaging, higher in emotional valence, and of higher quality when the pieces were “performed” by the pianist. Notably, these effects were insensitive to the participants’ musical expertise but moderated by their attitudes toward AI. Interestingly, when asked what differences they had found between the two renditions, the participants confabulated about differences in rhythm, tempo variations, dynamics, and dissonances, pointing to underlying psychological processes, such as expectations and beliefs about humanness. Implications for Aesthetics and the Psychology of art are discussed.
Framing the Judiciary: Effects of Partisan, Procedural, and Populist Frames on Apex Court Perceptions in Czechia
Authors: Juzgenbayev Alisher
Published: September 2024

Students of comparative law have for long suggested that attempts by the elected leaders to undermine the independence of the judiciary will be electorally costly. The widely shared norms on the inappropriateness of interfering with the judiciary would thus sustain the institutional checks and balances and the institutions of constitutionalism. The increasing evidence, obtained to a large degree in experimental studies in countries with robust judiciaries, suggests that the perceptions of courts’ legitimacy may be reduced by exposing voters to evidence of the courts’ partisan orientations and procedural illegitimacy of their decisions. Furthermore, the ascent of populist politicians suggests that the would-be authoritarian leaders may successfully undermine judicial legitimacy by appealing to the judges’ unelected nature and inherent counter-majoritarian tendencies. Populists ground their rhetoric in juxtaposing the "people" against the "corrupt elite," creating a normative tension with the ideas of a liberal-democratic process where elected powers are checked to limit the state's interference with individual rights. To test whether one observes the effects of partisanship and procedural fairness on voters' perceptions of the courts outside the U.S. context, and to assess whether populist messages produce comparable effects, a pre-registered survey experiment is conducted in the context of the Czech Republic, a country that until recently has had both a populist executive and a strong and independent Constitutional Court. By embedding populist messages within experimental survey vignettes and collecting citizens' perceptions of the highest court of the Czech Republic, the study aims to assess how such messages affect the legitimacy of judicial institutions. The study finds no significant effects of messages emphasizing judges' educational and unelected status, of messages related to the effects of the Court's decision on one's preferred political party, and of messages portraying the Court's decision as procedurally irregular. The results of the study suggest that the marginalization of robust judiciaries in backsliding democracies may be a largely elite-driven institutional process, with uncertain electoral payoffs.
The Ideal L2 Self Versus Ability Beliefs: Are They Really Distinct?
Authors: Al-Hoorie Ali H. , McClelland Neil , Resnik Pia , Hiver Phil , Botes Elouise
Published: September 2024

The validity of the standard ideal L2 self scale has increasingly been called into question. This paper reports both quantitative and qualitative investigations into whether the ideal L2 self items tap into the intended construct of an actual–ideal discrepancy. Study 1 involved an experimental approach manipulating the items to explicitly refer to ability beliefs. Data from 1,362 participants across three countries (Austria, China, and Saudi Arabia) showed a lack of discriminant validity between original and manipulated items. Study 2 used cognitive interviewing to examine the thought processes of 24 Japanese university students as they responded to ideal L2 self items. Thematic analysis revealed that responses were dominated by reflections on current ability and expectations about using the language in specific situations, rather than envisioning an idealized future self. The findings of Studies 1 and 2 converge to indicate that the standard ideal L2 self scale does not successfully operationalize the intended theoretical construct of actual–ideal self discrepancies. Instead, responses are mostly driven by beliefs about ability to achieve the states described in each item. The results therefore challenge the validity of this widely-used scale, calling for a reinterpretation of its findings in the L2 Motivational Self System literature.

A meta-analytical approach was employed to assess the relationship between late-season disease (LSD) severity and soybean yield across 39 field trials conducted from 2020 to 2024 in nine Brazilian states. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) and Fisher’s transformation (Z) were calculated to examine the association between disease severity and yield. Additionally, random- and mixed-effects meta-analyses were performed to estimate the intercept (β0) and slope (β1) of the linear regression model. Disease pressure, yield class, region, altitude, and year were included as categorical moderators. The damage coefficient (in percentage) was calculated from β0 and β1 values, while the economic damage threshold (EDT) was derived using the estimated damage coefficient, attainable yield, and fungicide efficacy values. A strong negative correlation between LSD severity and yield was observed (Z = -1.03, r = -0.77). The population average estimates for β0 and β1 were 4,589.0 kg/ha and -22.6 kg/ha per unit increase in severity, respectively (P < 0.001). While none of the categorical moderators significantly affected the slope (P > 0.19), disease pressure, yield class, and altitude significantly affected the intercept (P < 0.014). The overall relative damage coefficient was estimated at -0.49% (95% CI = -0.61 to -0.38), with EDT values ranging from 0.41% to 4.33% (mean = 1.57%). In conclusion, a significant negative linear relationship between soybean yield and LSD severity was confirmed, particularly involving Cercospora leaf blight and Septoria brown spot.

The Diversifying the Community of Neuroscience (DCNS) program, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), addresses the critical underrepresentation of minoritized groups in neuroscience. This paper, designed and written by graduate students, postdocs, and early-career investigators within the DCNS program, aims to share the lessons learned with the broader neuroscience community. The DCNS program fosters a strong, supportive, cross-stage community that mitigates the isolation often experienced by minoritized neuroscientists in academia and the stress involved in navigating institutional discriminatory practices. Centering diversity, equity, and belonging, the program focuses on leadership skill-building and peer support. The program also provides professional development workshops (e.g., grant writing and financial literacy) that weave cross-cultural mentorship and knowledge into its training; this results in enhancing participants' sense of solidarity, cultural assets, and systemic inequities. Collaborative research and networking opportunities are heavily promoted, resulting in significant research partnerships and publications. Financial support, including stipends and research budgets, is given to participants to help alleviate financial stress, which then enables them to focus on their scientific and personal growth. The program’s adaptability, which is driven by participant feedback, ensures that the program is responsive to the evolving needs of its participants, making it a dynamic and engaging experience for all involved. This paper underscores the importance of sharing these experiences to help create a more inclusive and diverse neuroscience community, thereby enriching the field with the perspectives and contributions of minoritized neuroscientists.
When does a provocation demand a violent response? A randomized scenario study of the Code of the Street
Authors: Kroneberg Clemens , Ernst André , Nägel Christof
Published: September 2024

Elijah Anderson's (1999) seminal work on the "Code of the Street" details how individuals use violence to defend and gain respect in violent neighborhoods. We provide this theory with more explicit choice-theoretic micro-foundations that allows us to derive hypotheses on how individuals’ willingness to use violence depends on their street code beliefs, the strength of provocation, and the exposure to violence in their neighborhoods. To evaluate these hypotheses, we use data from a large-scale criminological survey of 10th graders in 46 schools located in five neighboring cities in Germany. Our analysis focuses on violent intentions in a neighborhood-based scenario that randomly varied the strength of provocation and uses geo-coded police-recorded data to measure the level of violence in respondents’ neighborhoods. Our results suggest a complex interplay of environmental, situational, and individual variables. While provocation strength generally increases violent intentions, adolescents who reject the street code and live in low-violence neighborhood report no violent intentions even when strongly provoked. Among adolescents with strong street code beliefs, responses to provocations vary depending on their residential environment. We discuss implications for choice-theoretic accounts of youth violence and methodological challenges of linking scenarios to social contexts.
Investigating Local Political Dynamics: A Case Study of the 2008 National Election in Bogura, Bangladesh

Published: September 2024

This study intends to understand the local level politics in terms of changing political beliefs among the participants in the larger context of politics in Bogura, a northern district of Bangladesh. In particular, the research tries to investigate the voting behaviour during the national election of 2008 in Bogura. Though there are some studies about the national-level politics but still there is a dearth of researchers in understanding the local political dynamics. The study of a local-level election helps us engaging with different stakeholders and local agencies. To explore this research, with a list of questionnaires, researcher conducted interviews with grassroots level respondents’ including local politicians, civil society members, academicians and mass people to examine the attitudes, opinions, voting behaviour and the political environment of the locality in reference to the parliamentary election of 2008 in Bogura district, Bangladesh. The study has found that behaviour of voters was influenced by several factors such as religion, caste, community, language, money, policy or ideology, purpose of the polls, extent of the franchise, political wave etc which led the Bangladesh Awami League (AL) to capture two seats from Bogura district. Since then the contemporary Bangladeshi politics has taking place through conflicts and corruption.
Embedded model discrepancy: A case study of Zika modeling
Authors: Morrison Rebecca , Cunha Jr Americo
Published: September 2024

Mathematical models of epidemiological systems enable investigation of and predictions about potential disease outbreaks. However, commonly used models are often highly simplified representations of incredibly complex systems. Because of these simplifications, the model output, of say new cases of a disease over time, or when an epidemic will occur, may be inconsistent with available data. In this case, we must improve the model, especially if we plan to make decisions based on it that could affect human health and safety, but direct improvements are often beyond our reach. In this work, we explore this problem through a case study of the Zika outbreak in Brazil in 2016. We propose an embedded discrepancy operator-a modification to the model equations that requires modest information about the system and is calibrated by all relevant data. We show that the new enriched model demonstrates greatly increased consistency with real data. Moreover, the method is general enough to easily apply to many other mathematical models in epidemiology. Potential epidemics of communicable diseases are a major health concern of the modern world, especially as city density, air and water pollution, and worldwide travel steadily increase. A stark example of this is the global Coronavirus outbreak, already responsible for more than 2000 deaths around the world at time of this article's submission , and more than 13,000 at time of revision, approximately one month later. When faced with a potential outbreak , decision-makers such as health officials and medical professionals rely on mathematical models to aid their decision-making processes. But oftentimes these models are not consistent with the dynamical system they are designed to represent. The discrepancy between the output of a model and the real system is then a serious impediment , as it may decrease our confidence in the model, or even invalidate it entirely, so that it can no longer be used to aid in decision-making. When such a discrepancy is observed , we, as modelers, must either improve the model or somehow account for the discrepancy itself. While a direct model improvement is usually the most desirable solution, how to do so may be infeasible because of computational reasons, time constraints, or lack of domain knowledge. This paper provides a systematic method to instead account for the discrepancy itself, explored via a case study of the Brazilian Zika epidemic of 2016. The method is not a correction of the model output to data, but rather a modification of the model equations themselves by a so-called embedded discrepancy operator. The operator is designed with three critical properties in mind: interpretability, domain-consistency, and robustness. We show that including the embedded discrepancy operator greatly increases the fidelity of the model, so that model output and real data are now in fact consistent. a) rebeccam@colorado.edu; rebeccaem.github.io b) americo@ime.uerj.br; www.americocunha.org
Personalized Beta HD-tACS Over the Left SMA Surpasses HD-tDCS in Improving Speech and Limb Reaction Times
Authors: Tabari Fatemeh , Berger Joel , Gemmert Arend , Kunduk Melda , Johari Karim
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Beta activity (13-30 Hz) in the supplementary motor area (SMA) plays a crucial role in the planning and execution of speech and limb movements. Abnormal beta oscillations within SMA have been associated with impaired speech and limb movement in neurological conditions wherein speech and limb movements are impaired. Normalizing aberrant neural activity through non-invasive technique such as transcranial direct/alternating current stimulation over SMA demonstrated promising effects in ameliorating motor and non-motor functions. However, these improvements are somewhat limited due to significant between-subject variability, highlighting the need for personalized brain stimulation protocols. This study examined the modulatory effects of personalized beta (13-30 Hz) high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (HD-tACS) vs. High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) targeting the left SMA on speech and limb reaction times.Method: In a sham-controlled dual-experiment design, two groups of neurologically intact adult participants underwent multiple stimulation sessions: Experiment 1) sham HD-tACS, HD-tACS tuned to each individual’s frequency of maximal SMA beta activity during speech (tuned-to-speech) or limb (tuned-to-limb), or high-definition transcranial random noise stimulation (HD-tRNS); Experiment 2) sham, anodal or cathodal HD-tDCS. For the experiment 1 source-localized EEG was employed to identify each individual’s peak beta activity within the left SMA.Results: Findings revealed that personalized beta HD-tACS – but not HD-tDCS – over left SMA significantly improved reaction times for both speech and limb movement compared to sham. Moreover, reaction times significantly improved for HD-tACS vs. anodal and cathodal HD-tDCS. However, there was no difference in reaction times between sham HD-tACS and HD-tDCS. Conclusion: Overall, these findings demonstrated superior neuromodulatory effects of personalized beta HD-tACS over HD-tDCS in improving speech and limb reaction times which may have clinical implications for protocols aimed to alleviate neurological conditions.Keywords: Personalized HD-tACS, HD-tDCS, SMA, Speech Production, Limb Movement
The Landscape of Personality Psychology in The New Millennium: A Systematic Keyword Analysis of Journal Articles From 2000 to 2021
Authors: Rauthmann John F. , Kuper Niclas
Published: September 2024

What is published in personality psychology, and which trends emerge over time? We examined in six major personality-psychological journals (EJP, JID, JOPY, JPSP:PPID, JRP, PAID) what content – as captured by keywords attached to journal articles (14,227 full articles, with 23,900 unique keywords that attracted a total of 62,578 mentions) – was featured in the first two decades of the new millennium (years 2000-2021). From 406 consolidated keywords that received 20 or more mentions across all years and journals (capturing a large portion of the literature and hence reasonably representative), we identified 44 keyword-topics, grouped into 9 keyword-domains (from most to least mentioned): (Mal-)Adjustment, Basic Dispositions, Characteristic Adaptations & Narratives, Modalities, Other, Socio-Cultural, Methodology, Stability/Change, Biological. The top five most mentioned keyword-topics were “B5 Constructs”, “Emotion”, “Internalizing”, “Health/Well-Being”, and “Dark Tetrad”, and the top five most mentioned keywords were personality, big five, narcissism, sex differences, and depression. We also examined co-occurrences, rank-order stabilities, trajectorial trends, and associations with citations for keywords, keyword-topics, and keyword-domains as well as similarities between the sampled journals. We cast a descriptive and systematic portrait of contemporary published personality-psychological content, contrast those insights with earlier accounts of trends in personality psychology, and venture predictions for the future.

Authors: Imran Zainab , Suhhiem Mazin H.
Published: September 2024

In this work, we used the Legendre operational differential matrix method based on Tau method to obtain the fuzzy approximate-analytical solutions of the fuzzy differential equations in which the coefficients are trapezoidal fuzzy function. This method allows for the fuzzy solution of the fuzzy initial ( or boundary) value problems to be computed in the form of an infinite fuzzy series .Also, this method enables to approximate the fuzzy exact-analytical solutions with high efficiency, as these solutions can be resorted to if it is not possible to find the exact solutions of these fuzzy problems. We introduced a comparison between the approximate solutions that we computed and the exact solutions of the chosen problem, as we found the absolute error. According to the numerical results, the series solutions that we found are accurate solutions and very close to the exact solutions.

Published: September 2024

A person is automatically recognized in a biometric system by analyzing their distinct traits. Most people agree that iris recognition is the most accurate and dependable biometric identification method currently in use. The goal is to accurately and efficiently identify a person in real time by analyzing the sporadic patterns seen in the iris if an eye from some distance, by extracting strong features using deep learning technique. The extracting of significant features is important step that effect the overall accuracy of iris recognition system. In order to extract the iris characteristics, this research suggests a robust convolution neural network (CNN) structure. Then, an identity of the person is determine based on extracted features from his iris to support vector machine (SVM). The proposed system is examined on CASIA V. (1). Several parameters such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F-score are computed to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. The obtained result of the accuracy is about (99%). The proposed system results are compared with several previous methods and prove its effectiveness. A contemporary approach and the suggested method are contrasted and use deep learning for features extraction and the results depict our method outperforms other methods.

En los ríos, bajo la sombra de los árboles y al cobijo del quepis: representaciones gráficas del aseo y del descanso militar durante la Intervención Francesa en México
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mena Alvarez Aram
Published: September 2024

This article examines some representations of military cleanliness and rest during the French Intervention in Mexico, based on the iconographic and icono-textual analysis of images and reports published in three of the most widely circulated French prints of the time: the illustrated weeklies “L'Illustration Journal Universel” and “Le Monde Illustré”, and the satirical newspaper “Le Charivari”. The two engravings and lithograph were compared with letters, memoirs, manuals, and journalistic pieces by Mexican and French authors in order to observe the graphic expression of the concepts of hygiene and privacy that began to take root socially in both countries from the second half of the 19th century. It is proposed that, despite protocolization, combatants on both sides had to adapt to the harsh conditions of war to recover from it amidst snoring, heat, the anxiety of enemy threat, and dreams of conquest.

Published: September 2024

In a biological model of septoplasty in rats, the effect of the operation on the passive avoidance conditioning (PAC) was studied. It has been shown that septoplasty increases anxiety and reduces exploratory activity in rodents under PAC. Neurochemical analysis of the hypothalamus carried out immediately after the end of the experiment revealed an increase in norepinephrine metabolism in rats after septoplasty, which may be associated with activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
