Decoding Kashgar: A Digital Design Approach to Steer and Diversify Creative Engagement in Digital Heritage
Authors:   , Aydin Serdar
Published: November 2021

Digital tools have become critical instruments in preserving and communicating the value of heritage as important cultural expressions of the past. A consequence of digitalisation is the democratisation of heritage institutions, such as museums, which are found to value increasingly new types of content and new profiles of audiences. Digitisation plays a vital role in the alteration of the convictions of the heritage field to ‘materiality’ and ‘actuality.’ Although researchers acknowledge the significance of digital heritage in leading us into new ways of expressing ‘authenticity’ and ‘virtuality,’ studies have been confined to heritage activities comprised of digital documentation, representation and dissemination. Previous studies have reported on the role of public engagement in digital heritage which is criticised as consumptive, passive, guided and descriptive. Instead, the motivation of this research is to explore a new role that is ‘generative,’ ‘active’ and ‘creative’ for the production of heritage knowledge.  This dissertation demonstrates an innovative digital design approach to creative and participatory content-making in digital heritage. The research investigated the use of creative content generated collaboratively for knowledge production and acquisition in architectural heritage and tested in Kashgar, the westernmost city in China. The research conceives an interdisciplinary methodology, integrating design with the standard activities involved in digital heritage.   This dissertation is undertaken using different digital media equipment for collaboratively expressing authenticity and virtuality of heritage information. The research examines the role of creative engagement for constructing digital heritage. Creative engagement in a hybrid immersive virtual reality environment is experimented with and findings are analysed qualitatively. Then, to measure the outcome of creative engagement quantitatively, a well-known technique in data mining is used to expose undisclosed patterns. It is the first time in digital heritage that a study employs association rule mining to interpret user-generated content. The qualitative findings of two initial experiments are synthesised with quantitative results of the third experiment to investigate how the creative contribution of people in content-making is generalizable.   The investigations foster the advancement of research and practice in digital heritage beyond the frontiers of current knowledge. There is a number of fields that can apply the results of this research, including cultural heritage, computer-aided architectural design, museology, new media, TV, education, MOOC, streaming, as well as culture and game studies.
One In Seven

Published: November 2021

Like many cities across South America, Caracas is a city of widespread informal settlements, with over a third of the city’s population living in slums. South America’s urban slums are expected to continue their rapid expansion, with an estimated 113 million people across the continent living in sprawling slums beyond the reach of official planning and regulation. These communities develop for many reasons; lack of affordable housing; large urban migration; or high levels of poverty. As people become frustrated with their situation they begin to build on empty areas in the city, continuously expanding and adding to the urban sprawl. However, South American cities are already highly developed, urban space is at a premium, and there’s limited space for new construction. How can we improve the conditions within these informal communities rather than following the usual approach of force relocations into, often insufficient in number and inadequate in design, social housing? Forced relocations split communities apart and move inhabitants away from work and amenities, and often does nothing to slow the growth of informal settlements due to the limited number of social housing available.  This research proposes to form a self-sustainable architectural framework that integrates into the existing informal settlements without unnecessary harm or relocation of the city’s urban poor, to improve their quality of life. The research argues that new strategies of regeneration that seek to promote a collaborative construction of the physical environment, would boost neighbourhood development and improve existing conditions without undue harm to the people it attempts to help. The regeneration strategy would be a system which works on 3 scales to solve basic problems, such as water, power, and community spaces through sustainable means. This system would be the starting point of a revitalization process, helping to improve the permanence and resilience of these communities.
Validation of CFD Predictions of Urban Wind - Developing a Methodology
Authors:   , Willis Riley
Published: November 2021

“Good mental health in a fluid or CFD modeller is always indicated by the presence of a suspicious nature, cynicism and a ‘show me’ attitude. These are not necessarily the best traits for a life mate or a best friend, but they are essential if the integrity of the modelling process is to be maintained.” (Meroney, 2004)  Over the past 50 years, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) computer simulation programs have offered a new method of calculating the wind comfort and safety data for use in pedestrian wind studies. CFD models claim to have some important advantages over wind tunnels; which remain the most common method of wind calculation. While wind tunnels provide measurements of selected points, CFD simulations provide whole-flow field data for the entire area under investigation (Blocken, 2014; Blocken, Stathopoulos, & van Beeck, 2016). Similarly, wind tunnel measurements must consider the similarity requirements involved with testing a model at small scale, while CFD simulations can avoid this as they are conducted at full scale (Ramponi & Blocken, 2012a).  However, CFD simulations can also often be misleading; and they should only be trusted once they can be proven to be accurate. To appease the requirements for this cynical view- referenced in the above quote- proper verification and validation of a model is imperative.  This thesis investigated and tested the current best practice guidelines around CFD model validation, using existing wind tunnel measurements of generic urban arrays. The goal of the research was to determine whether the existing data and guidance around the validation process was sufficient for a consultant user to trust that a CFD model they created was sufficiently accurate to base design decisions from.  The CFD code Autodesk CFD was used to simulate two configurations first tested as wind tunnel models by the Architectural Institute of Japan, and Opus labs in Wellington. The Wellington City Council wind speed criteria were used to determine whether the CFD simulations met the required accuracy criteria for council consent.  Results from the study found that the CFD models could not meet the accuracy criteria. It concluded that while the validation process provided sufficient guidance, there is a lack of available data which is relevant to CFD validation for urban flows.  It was recommended that at least one improved dataset was required, to build a system by which a consultant can identify what the requirements of a CFD model are to provide accurate CFD analysis of the site under investigation. To accommodate the range of sites likely to be present in urban wind studies, it was recommended that the new dataset provided data for a variety of wind flows likely to be found in cities.
Another elderly lady to be knocked down: Heritage discourse and the protest to save the Missions to Seamen building, 1986
Authors:   , Gordon Alexander
Published: November 2021

Through a specific historical case study, Another Elderly Lady to be Knocked Down applies discourse theory and the Authorised Heritage Discourse (AHD) to the context of urban built heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand. Previously, only limited work had been done in this area. By examining an underexplored event this dissertation fills two gaps in present literature: the history of the event itself and identification of the heritage discourses in the country at the time. Examination of these discourses in context also allows conclusions about the use of the AHD in similar studies to be critically examined.  In 1986 the Missions to Seamen building in Wellington, New Zealand, was threatened with demolition by its government owners. In a remarkable display of popular sentiment, individuals, organisations, the Wellington City Council (WCC) and the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) worked together to oppose this unpopular decision. This protest was a seminal event in the history of heritage in New Zealand.  This study relies upon documentary sources, especially the archival records of the Historic Places Trust and the State Services Commission, who owned the building, to provide the history of this watershed moment in New Zealand’s preservation movement. The prevalent attitudes of different groups in Wellington are examined through the letters of protest they wrote at the time. When analysed in context, these discourses reveal the ways in which heritage was articulated and constructed.  The course of this dissertation has revealed the difficulty of identifying an AHD in this context. The level of collaboration between ‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ heritage perspectives, and the extent to which they shaped each other’s language, creates considerable difficulty in distinguishing between discreet discourses. To better explore the ways that heritage meaning is constructed and articulated, heritage must be recognised as a complex dynamic process.
Support for independence: Cross-generational Housing for Elderly & Millennial Students
Authors:   , Griffith Johanna
Published: November 2021

Statistics New Zealand estimates that by 2031, one in four Canterbury residents will be aged 65+ (Canterbury City Council). Accelerated ‘baby boomer’ population growth has shifted Christchurch’s current age distribution into a period of demographic transition. The implications of this shift means a likely increase in demand for “future proof” housing as dependency ratios accelerate beyond historic records (Davey 1). The term “future proof” factors in the rise in demand for accessible housing and potential for social isolation once an individual is widowed or physically impaired.  Housing suitability is equally problematic for today’s millennial cohort. Rising rental prices and limited choice have also become a problem for Christchurch’s student population. Within this group, students at Christchurch’s main polytechnic (ARA) are of greatest concern due to a severe shortage of student accommodation. The institute currently offers 192 beds, a 267 per cent increase than what was available a year ago but an overflow of demand remains (Lee A1).  This research proposes the establishment of an aged care facility, which incorporates student accommodation. Following a design-led research approach, this body of work has been developed by first identifying the problems faced by the client cohorts and then actively exploring possible solutions through design. These solutions are supplemented by a process of participatory observation. This involved moving in with my Nan for a period of 6 months. I actively recorded our experiences including the challenges and benefits found within this form of living.  Designing an alternative that recognises the needs and wants of the baby boomer generation, could delay the need for social welfare intervention, while providing an option for students facing the harsh reality of New Zealand’s housing market.
Impacts of Participatory Forest Management on Community Livelihood: Case study of Kereita forest Kenya
Authors:   , Gichuki Leah
Published: November 2021

Since the 1990s there has been an increasing shift in the management of natural resources from state control to participatory approaches. Many developing countries, including Kenya, have promoted participatory forest management (PFM) as a strategy for enhancing forest conservation and the sustainable use of forest resources through community participation. Drawing on a case study of the Kereita forest, in the central highlands of Kenya, this research explores the impact of PFM on community livelihood. Using a post-structural political ecology approach and qualitative research methods, I conducted and analysed 18 semi-structured interviews.  Results indicate that the implementation of PFM has changed how the community access forest products. PFM, through processes of inclusion and exclusion, has had both positive and negative effects on community livelihoods. New opportunities were opened, for instance, increased awareness about forest conservation led to a women’s group developing alternative livelihood pathways. In contrast, the development of a new eco-lodge disrupted community plans to rehabilitate that area.   This case study also reflected other critiques of PFM in terms of who holds ultimate authority; ultimately, the government retained a lot of control in forest management, and PFM processes have concentrated power with the government and channelled certain livelihood outcomes that benefit the already wealthy. These uneven power relations between the community and the government produce and perpetuate conflicts in implementing PFM hence hampering livelihood improvement. Furthermore, I argue that PFM has created and embedded both visible and invisible boundaries – through fences and permits, for instance – that regulate what takes place where, and who accesses what. To sustain the development of good community livelihoods through PFM, this research calls for continued interrogations of power imbalances within current PFM structures.
Our place: Public + private balance in a state housing community
Authors:   , Cahill Niamh
Published: November 2021

Government owned housing in New Zealand is moving towards a model of privatisation. This can limit the opportunities found in the semi-public space for neighbours to meet and interact. Without these human interactions, a housing complex loses that which makes it a community. By restructuring the site to facilitate social interaction, this thesis aims to focus the space between buildings towards communal living, through an exploration of the public private interface in council housing complex, Arlington Apartments, in Wellington, New Zealand. This project will develop the balance in which residents can share space with their neighbours, by re-zoning current ambiguous space to be communal to a smaller group, in order to give tenants an opportunity to appropriate their living environment.
Becoming-Posthuman: The Sexualized, Racialized and Naturalized Others of Octavia Butler’s Lilith’s Brood
Authors:   , Dunkley Kitty
Published: November 2021

This thesis explores the extent to which Octavia Butler’s use of the Other, in her trilogy Lilith’s Brood, problematizes the construct of the Human subject as established under Humanism. Adopting the protean field of posthuman theory as a framework, I advocate for a specifically anti-Humanist reading of the series; indeed, I posit that Butler’s re- imagination of the posthuman functions to empower subjectivities marginalized under this ideology — specifically, sexualized, racialized, and naturalized Others. The thesis argues that Butler confronts these forms of oppression as intersecting and overlapping issues that stem from a common location — myopic Humanism — and require similar remediation — destabilizing the monolith of normativity that constitutes ‘humanness’. I promote the reading of Butler alongside posthuman theory, in elucidating her radical rethinking of unitarian subjectivity and her celebration of the more expansive embrace of vital, diverse intersubjectivity. In reimagining who “we” are (or could be), I contend that Butler is not dependent on a binaristic ontology of either/or, but an expansive ellipsis of and... and. I argue that the series, in this way, underlines the unifying potential of a heterogeneous understanding of life’s multiplicities.
Proximity of Bachelier and Samuelson Models for Different Metrics
Authors: Smirnov S. , Sotnikov D.
Published: November 2021

This paper proposes a method of comparing the prices of European options, based on the use of probabilistic metrics, with respect to two models of price dynamics: Bachelier and Samuelson. In contrast to other studies on the subject, we consider two classes of options: European options with a Lipschitz continuous payout function and European options with a bounded payout function. For these classes, the following suitable probability metrics are chosen: the Fortet-Maurier metric, the total variation metric, and the Kolmogorov metric. It is proved that their computation can be reduced to computation of the Lambert in case of the Fortet-Mourier metric, and to the solution of a nonlinear equation in other cases. A statistical estimation of the model parameters in the modern oil market gives the order of magnitude of the error, including the magnitude of sensitivity of the option price, to the change in the volatility.
Teacher Perspectives on the Impact of the Cyber Press on the Development of Religious Knowledge among Hearing-Impaired Students
Authors: Assaree Ihsan Ghadivan Ali , Al–Khalidi Ibrahim Khalaf Suleiman
Published: November 2021

The electronic press has constituted a real civilized renaissance in the field of media, and the younger generation has benefited from it. This will make it the first medium during the coming period to become a new media system that enjoys the characteristics and advantages acquired from the traditional press, of which the electronic press is an extension, and those from the new method. The study identifies the impacts of the cyber press on the development of religious knowledge among hearing-impaired students from their teachers’ point of view. Hearing-impaired students need more attention to develop their religious knowledge through the electronic press, as hearing impairment has many adverse effects on their learning. It affects their ability to move freely and interact with the environment. In addition, it affects their skills in interacting with others and their insecurity and confidence, resulting in an isolated social life. We used means, standard deviations, and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to identify the impact of the cyber press on the development of religious knowledge among hearing-impaired students. The study sample consisted of 80 teachers who teach hearing-impaired students. A questionnaire about teachers’ perspectives on the impacts of the cyber press on the development of religious knowledge among hearing-impaired students was used to collect data after checking the validity and reliability indicators. Results show that the impact of the cyber press on the development of religious knowledge is moderate. The results also show statistically significant differences in the gender variable in favor of males, and in the years of experience variable in favor of 10 years and more. Results also show statistically significant differences attributable to the impact of academic qualification in favor of the postgraduate category. We recommend that the cyber press pay more attention to religious education for hearing-impaired students through a broader and deeper presentation of contemporary religious issues.

Belirtme Durumu Çekiminin Kommunist Gazetesi Örneğinde Sovyet Dönemi Azerbaycan Türkçesindeki Değişimi ve Bu Değişimde SSCB’nin Dil Planlaması Politikasının Etkisi
Authors: KARATAŞ Mustafa , KARADUMAN Merve
Published: November 2021

Türk dilinin durum (hâl) çekimlerinden biri olan belirtme durumu, ekli (+I) veya eksiz (Ø) olmak üzere iki biçimde gerçekleşir. Ekli belirtme durumu çekiminin, Türk yazı dillerinde farklı ses ve biçim özellikleriyle kullanıldığı görülmektedir.

Eski Türkçe döneminde ana hatlarıyla ortak bir biçimde yapılan bu çekimin; 11. yüzyıldan itibaren doğu, kuzey ve batı bölgelerindeki üç farklı coğrafyada gelişimini sürdüren Türk yazı dili geleneklerinde farklı biçimbirimlerle yapıldığı görülmektedir. Bu farklılıkların görüldüğü kollardan biri de Oğuzcadır. Batı Oğuzcanın doğu kolunu oluşturan Azerbaycan Türkçesinin tarihî gelişim sürecinde de bu çekiminin biçimbirimlerinde çeşitli değişimler görülmektedir. Bu değişimler, özellikle farklı alfabelerin kullanıldığı Sovyet Dönemi Azerbaycan basınına da açık bir biçimde yansımıştır.

Azerbaycan Komünist Parti Merkezi Komitesi’nin yayın organı olması nedeniyle Sovyet Dönemi Azerbaycan Türkçesinin en önemli gazetesi olan Kommunist gazetesi, 29 Ağustos 1919-27 Ağustos 1991 tarihleri arasında Arap, Latin ve Kiril olmak üzere üç farklı alfabede yayımlanmıştır. Bu özelliği nedeniyle, Azerbaycan Türkçesindeki ses ve yazım değişimlerinin incelenebilmesi açısından eşsiz bir öneme sahiptir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında özellikle Oğuz Türkçesinde belirgin değişimleri görülen belirtme durumu çekiminin gazetenin farklı alfabelerle yayımlanmış sayılarındaki örnekleri bu değişimin niteliğini açık bir biçimde göstermektedir. Ancak değişimin alfabelere göre farklılık göstermesi, değişimlerin doğal bir süreç içerisinde değil, SSCB’nin dil plânlaması politikası sonucunda olabileceğini düşündürmüştür.

Bu çalışmada, belirtme durumu çekiminin tarihî gelişimi, Azerbaycan Türkçesinin yazı dili olma sürecindeki değişimi, bu değişimin Arap, Latin ve Kiril harfli metinlerdeki görünümü Kommunist gazetesindeki farklı alfabelerle yayımlanmış metinler örneklemi üzerinde incelenmiş ve bu değişimlerin Azerbaycan ile Türkiye Türklüğünün kullandığı ortak yazı dilini ayırmaya yönelik politik dil planlamasının bir parçası olup olmadığı üzerinde durulmuştur.

Published: November 2021

En los sectores rurales se utilizan estrategias ancestrales como la minga, la organización vecinal y el convite de alimentos, entre otras, para solucionar problemas emergentes. El presente estudio se realizó en las comunas de Cubinche y Guaraquí, en la parroquia La Esperanza, del cantón Pedro Moncayo, provincia Pichincha, Ecuador. En esas comunidades se estudió la participación activa de las mujeres en las diferentes estrategias ancestrales, así como la contribución que hacen en las redes de comunicación, adhesión, abastecimiento, trabajo colectivo, entre otras, que configuran una forma original de participación ciudadana, un ejercicio alternativo de ciudadanía. La investigación permitió evidenciar que la mujer campesina conquista derechos a través de su participación activa en la vida cotidiana de las comunas, a pesar de que todavía subsisten el machismo y la discriminación que limitan liderazgos y obstruyen la efectiva integración en escenarios de política local.
Neoliberalismo y repolitización del individuo en el Chile actual
Authors: Madriaza Pablo
Published: November 2021

El presente artículo busca explicar la emergencia de las masivas movilizaciones de los últimos 15 años en Chile, a partir de la emergencia del proceso de repolitización del individuo y de la particularización de la experiencia de lucha. Se basa en entrevistas realizadas en el marco de una tesis doctoral a activistas de tres movimientos sociales: el de pobladores por una vivienda digna, el de estudiantes secundarios y el LGBTQ. La cuestión clave es el rol que el individuo juega en estas movilizaciones. La hipótesis que subyace a este trabajo es que las movilizaciones sociales actuales han logrado darse masivamente manteniendo al individuo como eje valórico de este proceso y, de esa manera, superan la aparente dicotomía entre acción colectiva e individualismo. Se pasa de un individualismo como signo de fragmentación social a una repolitización del individuo, lo cual ha implicado una nueva forma de contestación social y de colectivismo que debe tener como punto de anclaje el valor de las subjetividades singulares presentes en el proceso de movilización.
Colombia y su proceso de neoliberalismo democrático autoritario
Authors: Botero Arango Luis Daniel
Published: November 2021

En Colombia, como en otros países de la región, el sistema neoliberal ha profundizado una crisis en el modelo democrático, en la economía y en la situación de derechos humanos. Junto a los autoritarismos que han caracterizado históricamente el proceso democrático en el país caribeño, expresados mediante la estigmatización, la exclusión y la eliminación de ideas políticas disidentes, se suman las disputas del poder de diversos grupos armados en los territorios, debido a los extractivismos, los cultivos de uso ilícito y las rentas ilegales, que se han convertido en entidades de derecho de carácter autoritario para el control de la población, por encima y a pesar del Estado. En definitiva, Colombia ha sido la demostración de que un pasado marcado por la violencia política no se soluciona únicamente con la fórmula de crecimiento económico, apertura de mercados, inversión extranjera y libertad de empresa.

Published: November 2021

Retrospektif (geriye dönük) dozimetri, doz ölçümünün planlanmadığı durumlarda doz hesabı için kaza dozimetresinin önemli araçlarından biridir. Kaza dozimetrisi, radyasyon kazası sonucu dışarıdan/ içten maruz kalan insanların radyasyon dozunun çeşitli dozimetri yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmesidir. Kaza bölgesindeki herhangi bir obje doğal dozimetre olarak değerlendirilebilmektedir. Şimdiye kadar seramik ya da porselen ürünleri, yapı malzemeleri, elektronik bileşenler (IC parçaları, sim kart, transistörler), saat camı ve telefon ekranı gibi birçok malzeme bu amaçla incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada çevrede yaygın şekilde bulunan çeşitli porselen ve kil bazlı malzemelerin (şekerlik, kül tablası, sigorta porseleni, cila maddesi içerikli ve içeriksiz yapay diş porseleni, seramik tırnak törpüsü, namaz mühürü ve kumbara) retrospektif dozimetri amaçlı kullanımı için numune hazırlanma sürecinin TL sinyalinin üzerinde etkisi, radyasyon kazasından önce malzemenin maruz kalmış olduğu sıcaklığın (örneğin yangın) OSL sinyali üzerinde etkisi, termal sönümlenme, farklı uyarma modlarında OSL lüminesans sinyalinin değişimi gibi özellikleri de araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca bir radyasyon kazası senaryosu gerçekleştirilerek araştırılan materyaller ile TL ve OSL tekniğini kullanılarak kaza dozu hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre incelenen bütün numunelerin radyasyon kazası durumunda retrospektif doz hesaplaması için birer dozimetrik malzeme olarak kullanılabilirliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Kaza senaryosu sonucunda numunelerden TL yöntemi ile hesaplanan kaza doz değerlerini kaza mahallinde konulmuş TLD100’ler ile elde edilen değerlerle kıyasladığımız zaman kumbara ve yapay diş porseleni numunelerinden <%10 sapma; OSL yöntemi ile elde edilen sonuçlarda ise sigorta porseleni numunesinden <%9 sapma ve seramik tırnak törpüsü numunesinden <%14 sapma değeri elde edilrek diğer numunelere göre daha uygun bir sonuç göstermiştir.

Bu çalışmanın iki önemli amaç içermektedir. Birinci amaç, Osmaniye’de (Enlem, = 36.22K, Boylam=37.04D, yükseklik=118m) 8-48 Model Black&White piranometresi kullanılarak 2014-2020 yılları arasında yatay yüzeye gelen toplam yedi yıllık bir süre boyunca ölçülen günlük toplam güneş radyasyonunun saatlik ve aylık ortalama değerlerinin sonuçları verilmiştir. 2014-2020 yılları arasındaki günlük toplam güneş radyasyonunun aylık ortalama değerlerinden, yatay yüzeye gelen yıllık aylık toplam ve ortalama güneş ışınımı sırasıyla 205.01 MJm-2g-1 ve 17.08 MJm-2g-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. En yüksek aylık global güneş radyasyonu 25.76 MJm-2g-1 ile Haziran ayında elde edilirken, en düşük değerler 7.63 MJm-2g-1 olarak Aralık ayında elde edilmiştir.İkinci amaç, Osmaniye ili için aylık ortalama güneşlenme süresi (saat), aylık ortalama hava sıcaklığı (°C), en düşük ve en yüksek hava sıcaklıkları (°C), enlem () ve deklinasyon açısı () gibi parametreler kullanılarak aylık olarak yıllık global güneş radyasyonunu tahmin etmek için geliştirilen Angström tipi eşitlikler kullanan yedi regresyon modeli (M1-7) vermektir. 1987-2020 yılları arasını kapsayan meteorolojik parametreler Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğü’nden alınmıştır. Osmaniye için geliştirilen bu modeller, Black&White piranometresi ile ölçülen günlük toplam güneş radyasyonunun aylık ortalama değerleri kullanılarak kalibre edilmiştir. Tüm modellerden tahmin edilen aylık ortalama toplam güneş ışınımların performansları R2 RMSE, MBE, MAPE, MPE, MARE ve MAE istatistik yöntemler kullanılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. M3 modeli R2 ve RMSE istatistiksel hata göstergeleri için en iyi performansı gösterirken, M5 modeli MBE, MPE, MAPE, MARE ve MAE için en iyi performans gösteren modeldir. Buna ek olarak, aylık ortalama günlük açıklık endeks (KT) değerleri, ölçülen global güneş radyasyonu (H) için 0.511 ile 0.634, M5 modeli için 0.553 ile 0.621 ve M3 modeli için 0.538 ila 0.611 aralığındadır. Sonuçlar, tahmin edilen ve ölçülen toplam güneş ışınım şiddetinin değerleri arasında oldukça uyumlu olduğunu göstermiştir.
The Effect of Proton and Helium Ions on Secondary Neutron Production in the Slab Head Phantom
Authors: PEHLİVANLI Adem , BÖLÜKDEMİR Mustafa Hicabi
Published: November 2021

Particle therapy (PT) usually uses protons and carbon ions. In addition, the use of low-Z ions (such as He, O, Ne) with higher relative biological effects than protons is also being investigated. Although in PT the majority of the dose is delivered to the tumor volume by the primary particle, a negligible additional dose is left due to the contribution of secondary particles produced by the interaction between the therapeutic beam and the patient's tissues. In particular, neutrons can increase the risk of secondary cancer by transferring energy far away from the treated area. To use charged particles in radiation therapy, it is crucial to characterize secondary neutrons produced (SNP) as a result of primary particle interactions with human tissue. The SNP can be detected with the detector or by methods such as Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. In our study, the total number of neutrons produced in the slab head phantom by proton and He ion beams with an energy of 50-100 MeV/u, the doses stored by neutrons and all other particles were calculated with the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code System (PHITS) MC code. The number of SNP by He ion beam increased 7-14 times compared to proton beams. It was calculated that the doses of the SNP by protons were between 11.5% - 16.4% of those in the He ion beams.

Published: November 2021

Prontosil, the sulfonamide compound that started the antibacterial era, was the first commercially available antibacterial agent. Sulfonamide functional groups have gained importance in medicinal chemistry since the first announcement of antibacterial drugs. Synthetic sulfonamides are generally used for the treatment of bacterial infections in biological systems, as well as antifungal, anti-inflammatory antioxidant, diuretics, carbonic anhydrases, antitumor and so on. It has aroused high curiosity in biology and medicine due to its wide range of biological applications. In this study, molecular docking studies were applied to investigate the potential antibacterial properties of sulfonamide derivative compounds synthesized in previous study. The binding energies was anaylzed by Autodock 4.2 code which also performed molecular docking. Docking simulations of sulfonamide compounds at the active site of E. coli β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (KAS III, PDB ID: 1HNJ) were performed to determine possible binding patterns and inhibitory effects. Docking results were also compared with triclosan used as a commercial antibacterial agent. Biovia Discovery Studio Visualizer 2020 and Autodock 4.2 software were used to analyze results of molecular docking.The binding energies of 3, 4, 5 and 6 sulfonamides used in the study to KAS III enzyme were found to be -6.94, -7.22, -7.76, -8.13, respectively. As a result of molecular docking study, these sulfonamide derivatives may have potential antibacterial properties.

Spine fixation is required in cases such as congenital spinal curvatures, vertebral fractures, sagittal collapse over time, painful kyphosis, and bone load due to tumors. Although there are many methods in the literature, the most commonly used spine fixation method is the fixation with pedicle screws. In these cases, it is known that pedicle screws are used frequently in the body. In this study, how the radiological exposure of the pedicle screws in the vertebral column that dose was evaluated by simulation methods. First, the elemental analysis of the pedicle screw was analyzed via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with the Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). Then, the elemental compositions of the pedicle screw obtained were used for simulation codes. subsequently, the half-value thickness and the attenuation coefficient calculations were conducted for the pedicle screw and vertebral column. Both XCOM software and MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle) simulation code were used to obtain photon interaction parameters within the energy range of 60-250 keV.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is an extremely fatal malignancy with dismal outcome with standard treatment till date. Investigators are constantly in search of optimal treatment approach and radiation therapy (RT) remains in the centre of debate. Human pancreatic cancer cell lines have shown both intrinsic and hypoxia induced radio resistance, and RT has produced conflicting results as well in the various clinical trials. However, most of the American studies continued the use of RT as a potential treatment modality but the European school of thought is widely criticized for their ‘therapeutic nihilism’ towards radiation and faulty clinical trial designs. This article has reviewed the available literature on the evolving role of RT for the management of resectable and borderline resectable PAC and has highlighted the increasing trend towards the use of radiotherapy for both adjuvant and neo adjuvant treatment. With the advent of modern RT techniques, the acute and late toxicities are much less than the earlier time, and therefore augmented RT is expected to produce better clinical outcomes for the patients with pancreatic carcinoma.
Paracelsus Paradox and Drug Repurposing for Cancer
Authors: Koltai Tomas

Dose is one of the parameters that any pharmacologist seriously considers when studying the effects of a drug. If the necessary dose to achieve a desired pharmacological effect is in a toxic or very toxic range for human use, the drug will probably fall out from further research. The concentration that a drug can reach at its target organ or cell is a direct consequence of the administered dose and its pharmacodynamic properties. Basic researchers investigate at the cellular level or eventually with xenografts. They use different concentrations of the drug in order to determine its cellular effects. However, in many cases, these concentrations require doses that are in the toxic range or well beyond any clinically achievable level. Therefore, in these cases, research is in the realm of Toxicology rather than therapeutics. This paper will show some examples about this exercise in futility which is time and resource consuming but that pullulates the pages of many prestigious journals. Many seasoned researchers seem to have forgotten the Paracelsus Paradox.
Join the Holy Spirit on Zoom
Authors: Addo Giuseppina
Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 global pandemic impacted all social relations, including the way religious communities engage in worship services. Due to strict social distancing protocols, the only viable solution for many congregations was online worship. This article investigates how platforms in cyberspace, such as Zoom, can provide a substitute for the core religious practices found in physical worship services, particularly for African Pentecostal believers who rely heavily on the aesthetic and sensory experience of their religious environment. Drawing on the theoretical concept of affordance, it is argued that digital affordances such as the chat box and emojis are used by believers to communicate affective moments arising from the sensory experience of worship. Members of the congregation become ‘digital spiritual hype people’ who render support to leaders in order to create and regenerate an affective environment where the presence of the Holy Spirit can be felt. The Holy Spirit, a fundamental pillar for Evangelical Christians, is understood as an embedded presence within the digital infrastructure. The internet connection, the phone and computers and screens are all re-appropriated as spiritual tools through which miraculous healing can be dispensed to believers in need. This research stands at a critical juncture between what might be termed the ‘pre-COVID era’ and the ‘post-COVID era’. As vaccination plans continue to roll out and social distancing measures are slowly being lifted, a ‘post-COVID era’ for African Pentecostals means negotiating the boundaries between online and offline spaces to fulfil core religious practices.
Minding the pandemic

Published: November 2021

This article analyses clusters of Muslim responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in a theoretical framework provided by the cognitive science of religion. The responses include theological reflections on the origin, nature, and religious significance of the disease, religious justifications for restrictions on communal worship, apologetics in the light of COVID-19, and how aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic relate to issues of purity, impurity, and contagion. This article places the responses in a wider theoretical context that contributes to explaining their emergence as cultural representations, and, as a consequence, may promote further comparative research into responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in other religious traditions.
