Preprint: Characterizing the Anomalous Cognition-Emotion Interactions in Externalizing
Authors: Baskin-Sommers Arielle R. , Curtin John Joseph , Larson Christine , Stout Daniel , Kiehl Kent A. , Newman Joseph P.
Published: November 2018

Externalizing traits are characterized by exaggerated emotional (e.g., frustration, anger) and behavioral (e.g., drug seeking, reactive aggression) reactions to motivationally-significant stimuli. Explanations for this exaggerated reactivity emphasize attention, executive function, and affective processes, but the associations among these processes is rarely investigated. To examine these interactions, we measure fear potentiated startle (FPS; Experiment 1) and neural activation (Experiment 2) in an instructed fear paradigm that manipulates attentional focus, demands on executive functioning, and emotion. In both studies, exaggerated emotional reactivity associated with externalizing was specific to conditions that focused attention on threat information and placed minimal demands on executive functioning. Results suggest that a crucial cognition-emotion interaction affecting externalizing is the over-prioritization and over-allocation of attention to motivationally-significant information, which in turn, may impair executive and affective regulation.
Criminal Responsibility and Neuroscience: No Revolution Yet
Authors: Bigenwald Ariane , Chambon Valerian
Published: November 2018

Since the 90’s, neurolaw is on the rise. At the heart of heated debates lies the recurrent theme of a neuro-revolution of criminal responsibility. However, caution should be observed: the alleged foundations of criminal responsibility (amongst which free will) are often inaccurate and the relative imperviousness of its real foundations to scientific facts often underestimated. Neuroscientific findings may impact on social institutions, but only insofar as they also engage in a political justification of the changes being called for, convince populations, and take into consideration the ensuing consequences. Moreover, the many limits of neuroscientific tools call for increased vigilance when, if ever, using neuroscientific evidence in a courtroom.
Culture/ Religion/ Tradition vs Modern/ Secular/ Foreign
Authors: Nagarajan Chitra
Published: November 2018

This article examines the binary of culture/ religion/ tradition and modern/ secular/ foreign and its impact on women’s human rights struggles in particular in northern Nigeria. This binary is commonly perpetuated by state and non-state actors, including politicians, community leaders and religious leaders, who weaponise culture, religion and tradition to resist the struggle for gender equality. It highlights how progress around some concerns, such as rape of young girls, has occurred concurrently with attacks on other rights, particularly sexual and reproductive rights including abortion and sex outside marriage, and of those with non-normative sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. This hardening of attitudes and narrowing of what is seen as permissible not only obscures the diversity of how people lived and thought in the past but is also far from the reality of how people live their lives presently. It further reflects the increased influence of religious fundamentalism and conservatism in northern Nigeria.[1]

 

[1] I used the term religious fundamentalism as distinct from religious conservatism and to signify the project whereby those engaged in it ‘construct ‘tradition’ in a way that is highly selective, at the same time as dogmatically insisting that their reconstructions of text are ‘sacred’ and so unable to be questioned’ (Cowden and Sahgal, 2017, 15), deny ‘the possibility of interpretation and reinterpretation even while its adherents engage in both’ (Bennoune, 2013, 16) and centre the importance of control of women’s bodies and sexuality and rigid gender roles. Religious fundamentalists ‘believe in the imposition of God’s law, something called the Sharia – their version of it  rather than others’ – on Muslims everywhere and in the creation of what they deem to be  Islamic states or disciplined diasporic communities ruled by these laws,’ denounce secularists, seek to bring politicised religion into all spheres, want to police, judge and change the behaviour, appearance and comportment of others and aim to sharply limit women’s rights, sometimes in the name of protection, respect and difference (Bennoune, 2013, 16). In contrast, while religious conservatism remains problematic, it does not make claims to possessing the only true interpretation and can be ‘protective of certain traditional spaces for women as well as being capable of reform and change’ (Cowden and Sahgal, 2017, 18).
Travelling Critique
Authors: Elsadda Hoda
Published: November 2018

The use and abuse of rights-based approaches to furthering gender justice has been the subject of much debate and contestation in feminist scholarship. This paper engages with the feminist anti-imperialist critique of rights discourses, particularly when used as a theoretical lens to understand or evaluate women’s rights movements, or gender related campaigns for justice in non-democratic settings. The paper argues that anti-imperialist critique is caught up in a binary of universalism versus cultural relativism, a form of a meta-narrative that disregards the personal narratives of struggle and the fragments of history that are absolutely necessary for a holistic understanding of historical moments. Secondly, it argues that the anti-imperialist critics disregard insights gained from Edward Said’s important intervention on ‘Traveling Theory’, and how ‘travel’ to another context enables a new process whereby the theory or concept is assimilated and new meanings emerge.

The paper engages with these issues by focusing on the issue of violence against women in Arab and/or Muslim societies, examining the struggle of women rights activists in Egypt to campaign and raise awareness. Ultimately the paper ends with a plea to historicise and stay focused on the global/local variations in power relations, requiring a constant reappraisal of the critical lens and tools for understanding and making sense of the world. By doing this it will help to avoid the pitfalls of interpretive frameworks becoming normative dogma.
The Pitfalls of Disentangling Women’s Agency from Accountability for Gender Equality Outcomes
Authors: Tadros Mariz
Published: November 2018

The representation of Middle Eastern women in Western scholarship in particular has been critiqued in post colonialist and feminist scholarship for its racist underpinnings embedded in broader colonialist constructs. This rich body of scholarship has contributed to a paradigmatic shift in how the “woman question” is addressed in western academic engagement with women in the Middle East. This article, however, interrogates whether the counter-narratives have created new binary constructs in their representations of women’s agency whose impact has been detrimental to local feminist struggles for gender equality. It explores the problematics of using an analytical framing that disassociates expressions of women’s collective agency from the gender equality agenda and its implications for coalitional work by looking at examples from the early 20th century as well as in the aftermath of the Egyptian revolution of 2011.

Authors: Dančetović Sandra , Novakovic Rastko , Milojevic Sanja
Published: November 2018

In the autumn 2017, a 24-hour long theatre play ‘Mount Olympus’ was featured on TV, in a live broadcast and on a public service station. Itcaused waves of disapproval, indignation and even disgust in Belgrade and Serbia.

Directed by Jan Fabre, the play opened an international festival of theatre BITEF in September 2017.BITEF was foundedover 50 years by one of the greatest women in the history of Yugoslav culture, Mira Trailović.

The polarisation of the audience was evident and expressed in extremes typical for Belgrade and Serbia.

Just a few weeks after the broadcast there was widespread support for a church official making disgusting misogynist remarks. Bishop Amfilohije, otherwise known for his nationalistic, homophobic, misogynist and generally discriminatory outbursts, who stated thatSerbian women who undergo abortion ‘kill more children in a year than Hitler and Mussolini’; thereby comparing abortion with infanticide, and women who decide on their bodily integrity and reproductive health with Nazis and fascists.

Race, Exclusion, and Archival Silences in the Seasonal Migration of Tobacco Workers from the Southern United States to Ontario
Authors: Dunsworth Edward
Published: November 2018

This article explores the role of race in structuring the movement of seasonal tobacco workers from the Southern United States to Ontario from the 1920s to the 1960s. Over this period, tens of thousands of southern migrant workers of varying skill levels travelled to Ontario to take up jobs in all aspects of tobacco production. Participation in the movement was limited exclusively to white workers until 1966, when it was integrated at the behest of American officials fearful of contravening the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Methodologically, the article follows Michel-Rolph Trouillot and is an exercise in uncovering silences in the archive, as civil servants in both countries and employer representatives in Ontario were extremely hesitant about mentioning the movement’s racial character on record. Beyond methodology, the findings presented contribute to developing a better understanding of the uneven nature of the “deracialization” of Canada’s immigration policies in the 1960s and to charting more of Canada’s role in the construction and maintenance of transnational systems of white supremacy.

Published: November 2018

Condensation of 4-hydrazino-1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidine with the aldohexoses, namely, D-glucose, D-galactose, D-mannose and the aldopentoses, D-arabinose, D-xylose and D-ribose, by heating in an aqueous ethanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of HCl, gave the respective aldehydo-sugar hydrazones. Oxidative cyclisation of such hydrazones by stirring with iron(III) chloride in ethanol at room temperature afforded the expected acyclo C-nucleosides 3-substituted-7,9-diphenylpyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]-pyrimidines. The structures of the cyclised sugar hydrazones were confirmed by their elemental analyses and spectral data.

Published: November 2018

The purpose of this study is to characterize the features of magnetic flux density perturbation as a result of the variation of conductivity in an equivalent model of the stress-corrosion crack (SCC). By using numerical computation of A-𝜙 method, the magnetic field nearby the inspection target was simulated for an eddy current probe of large rectangular excitation coil and a conductor plate with a modeled SCC. A conductive notch was set in the center of the conductor plate as an equivalent crack model of a real SCC. Different conductivities and crack depths were varied into the equivalent SCC model for analyzing their influences to the distribution of magnetic flux density perturbation above the model plate. Numerical results showed that the distributions of magnetic flux density were suitable to distinguish the difference of the conductivities of the SCC between 0% and 20% of the base material for normal testing frequencies. In addition, it was also found that the profile of distributed conductivity along the crack length can be better represented with the field induced by the excitation current laterally to the crack length.

Published: November 2018

Monitoring of scratching motion accompanied with itch is important for the medical treatment of skin diseases. Although there were some studies on monitoring scratching motion, the mechanical characteristics of scratching have not been researched enough. Therefore, in this paper, we developed an estimation method of human scratching motion characteristics, especially contact force. In experiment, we measured motions of scratching weakly and strongly against artificial skin placed on three-axis force sensor. Displacement of artificial skin and fingertip trajectory were analyzed by using three-dimensional motion measurement system and compared with contact force measured by the force sensor. In addition, an analysis of scratching motion against human skin by using the developed system was conducted too. From these results, we confirmed that measuring skin displacement of skin surface and fingertip trajectory are effective for the estimation of the mechanical characteristics of scratching.
Application of method of differential magnetometric system for detection of sunken objects
Authors: Woloszyn Miroslaw
Published: November 2018

This paper presents a magnetometric system with scalar sensors mounted on two independent platforms, which is used to detect sunken shipwrecks. Increasing the distance between the sensors allows for more precise measurement of the difference in the magnetic induction module than in the case of sensors mounted e.g. on the aeroplane’s wings. This type of system makes it possible to enlarge detection range of the sunken wrecks.
User experience of mainstream and assistive technologies for people with visual impairments
Authors: Kim Hyung Nam
Published: November 2018

BACKGROUND:

There is lack of understanding of “user experience”; i.e. how people with visual impairments use today’s emerging mainstream technologies along with assistive technologies, which would ultimately lead to less user-friendly designs.

OBJECTIVE:

The primary aim of this study is to advance knowledge of user needs and concerns about usability of mainstream and assistive technologies.

METHODS:

The archival research method was used to obtain data via online forum sites. After reviewing six forum sites, this study has found 92 messages that specifically discussed the use of technology, and reviewed the messages by comparing them with ten usability heuristics by Nielsen.

RESULTS:

The majority of usability problems were associated with flexibility and efficiency of use; help for users to recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors; and help documentation.

CONCLUSIONS:

It is imperative to focus on improving usability of both assistive and mainstream technologies in use by people with visual impairments.
From prototype to societal inclusion: Identified challenges for sustainable implementation of e-services for individuals with disabilities
Authors: Manzoor Mirfa , Jansson Owe , Vimarlund Vivian , Keller Christina , Wass Sofie
Published: November 2018

BACKGROUND:

In recent years, the interest of performing research about and providing e-services for individuals with disabilities has grown significantly. However, there is a knowledge gap in the existing literature on how to stimulate the pre-requisites needed for a sustainable implementation of e-services.

AIM AND METHOD:

The study aims to contribute to this knowledge gap by performing semi-structured email interviews with twelve project coordinators from the EU programmes of FP6-IST and FP7-ICT.

RESULTS:

The findings showed that knowledge-based and financially based resources, the complexity of the project context, ethical issues and the structural responsibility of the implementation process were key issues in creating a sustainable implementation. Furthermore, users often were not able to perceive added value from the e-services as they seldom were developed beyond prototypes within the research project.

CONCLUSION:

The implementation of e-services and/or ICT based applications for individuals with disabilities face similar challenges to the challenges that have been identified when implementing IT-based innovations. Further studies should focus on how users can be involved in the choice and development of e-services they understand as effective, and how to ensure that the implementation strategy will contribute to long-term social inclusion, that is, sustainability.

This article has three aims: i) to carry out a current literature review of solid waste sector (MSW); ii) identify the main directions of studies of empirical and theoretical background, followed by modern research; iii) hierarchically them considering the economic scope, public policy, environmental management and operator system. This study was conducted by reviewing studies on the waste sector with content published in major international journals. The results seem to suggest there is no single standard approach in these studies, but contains key elements under the theoretical umbrella "cost" and "efficiency." The lack of literature on the production structure of the recycling sector is central issue in the current debate on MSW for convergence of approaches on account and economic costs, transaction costs, logistics, externalities and market failures. These questions is crucial to shed light to ways and scope of research on MSW at interdisciplinary and political discussions.

Published: November 2018

The entry of a multinational into a cluster, a geographic agglomeration in a given place or region of predominantly small and medium enterprises specialized in a given industry or related industries, impacts the incumbent in the cluster. Aiming to identify the main effects of a multinational entry on the firms’ strategy in a cluster, it was analyzed the entry of IKEA, a Swedish multinational, into the cluster of furniture production in Paços de Ferreira and Paredes, in Portugal. In this study, the data collection technique to access primary data was a survey. The sample has small enterprises, which is similar to the structure of firms in the studied cluster. Results show that more than half the sample thinks that the entry of the multinational had not affected them. However, the firms that acknowledge a significant impact, assess that impact as negative. The competitiveness factors that have improved more significantly after IKEA’s entry were new product development and exporting strategies. The main responses of incumbent firms to the multinational entry were internationalization and the development of generic strategies of differentiation and focus based on differentiation.

The evaluation of graduate courses is revealed as one of the most important areas for the application of data envelopment analysis (DEA). However, to use this method it is necessary to select the set of variables: the inputs and outputs as a basis for application of the method. In Brazil, the entity responsible for evaluating postgraduate courses is the CAPES (Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination), whose assessment is based on grading that can vary from 1 to 5 (in the case where there is only the master) or 7 (when IES presents the doctoral program). Given the real need to check the efficiency of the engineering III postgraduate programs. This article suggests the use of DEA based on the criteria defined by CAPES. They identify situations programs with high concept given by CAPES appearing with low efficiency.

The storage process, in some way, has a direct influence on the production and status of the derived final product. It was possible to verify in this case study that the storage system of the company is deficient, needing improvements, especially when entering the raw material for production. Such problems, such as impurities, broken and burned grains, are generated in the warehouse itself, due to lack of prudence and coordination. Findings that contradict the objective of storage that is the conservation of the particularities of the grains and that may detract from the attributes of the end product in terms of taste, physical and chemical characteristics and visual conditions. Among the possible causes of the disturbances are the lack of maintenance of the machines, inefficient aeration and thermometry gauging. As a suggestion, besides the improvements on the mentioned problems, the implantation of management and strategy of inventories, of programs and quality control, development of the producing agents, planning and methods of solution of problems. The decline in the quality of the raw material, corn, can result in chain effect, damaging the final product, thus damaging the financial results of the organization.

Published: November 2018

The new standard of numerical control, known as STEP-NC, is categorized as the future of the advanced manufacturing systems. Greater flexibility and interoperability are some potential benefits offered by STEP-NC to meet the challenges of the new industrial landscape that is envisaged with the advent of Industry 4.0. Meanwhile, STEP-NC object-oriented programming has been partially applied and developed for machining processes (milling, turning...). But with the processes of additive manufacturing has not happened the same and the development is still incipient. This work presents the advances in the development of a new STEP-NC compliant additive manufacturing system, focusing particularly on the development of the information model. The application model activities in the IDEF0 nomenclature and application reference model in EXPRESS are presented. The AM-layer-feature concept has been introduced to define the manufacturing feature of additive processes based on material deposition layer-by-layer. Finally, a STEP-NC program generated from the EXPRESS model is presented, which can be implemented on an additive manufacturing system to validate the proposed model.

Authors: Requeijo José Fernando Gomes , Abreu António João Pina da Costa Feliciano , Calado João Manuel Ferreira , Dias Ana Sofia Martins da Eira
Published: November 2018

According to the traditional perspective the maintenance function is counted as a secondary activity consuming human and financial resources, which is why many companies, use as maintenance strategy for several years, the subcontracting of maintenance services to specialized companies. However, the need to perform maintenance operations on increasingly complex systems requires access to several distinct types of skills that small and medium-sized firms specialized in maintenance services generally do not have. This paper aims to illustrate the role of the Six Sigma Scorecard approach as a management tool for improving quality in service provided in a collaborative context. The article begins by discussing the principles of the Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard backgrounds. It is then discussed how the two methodologies can be combined as a management tool of maintenance activities. Finally, it is discussed how this approach can be applied in the assessment of maintenance activities in the context of a collaborative ecosystem.
SELECTION OF PROTECTIVE GROUPS UPON OPTIMIZING THE SYNTHESIS OF γ-PNA BASED ON L-GLU
Authors: Prokhorov I. A. , Melkumova A. A. , Abdelbaky A. S. , Esipova O. V. , Kirillova Yu. G.
Published: November 2018

This work is devoted to optimization of the synthesis of γ-S-carboxyethyl monomers of PNA based on L-Glu. PNA are promising compounds that hybridize with DNA or RNA, and due to their properties they are used in molecular biology, personalized medicine, and can also be used to create nanomaterials. To increase the yield of the desired monomers, it has been proposed to replace the benzyl protecting group with the carboxy function of the side radical by cyclohexyl one. Two synthetic schemes were proposed. In the first of them, γ-benzyl-N-Boc-glutamic acid, which was reduced to β-amino alcohol, was the starting compound. The hydroxyl group was protected by a dimethyl-tert-butylsilyl group. The benzyl ester in the side radical was cleaved by reduction on a palladium catalyst using ammonium formate. However, the subsequent acylation of cyclohexyl alcohol failed. In the second of the proposed schemes, a known sequence of reactions was used, which led to the formation of a cyclic derivative of Cbz-protected glutamic acid. Then, the resulting compound was acylated with cyclohexyl alcohol to give the desired ester. The subsequent transformation of the protective groups of the ester resulted in the diprotected L-glutamic acid in three stages. Subsequent reduction gave the desired protected β-amino alcohol containing a cyclohexyl protecting group in the side radical. This compound was further used in the Mitsunobu reaction to obtain a completely protected core of the PNA monomer. Subsequent thiolysis reaction resulted in the formation of the target secondary amine, the stability of which substantially exceeded the stability of its analog with benzyl protection, obtained and investigated before. The structure of the new compounds obtained is confirmed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy.

New magnetic nanomaterials with magnetization up to 32 Gs·cm3/g were synthesized from highly branched ferrocene-containing polymers by thermal structural transformations in a field of 2.5 kOe. The structure and properties of the prepared polymers were studied by IR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analyses. According to IR spectroscopy the content of 1,3,5-substituted benzene rings in the ferrocene-containing polymer increases at 500°C. X-ray diffraction study showed that iron in such a sample is present exclusively in the form of Fe3O4 magnetite. As the heating temperature increased to 600°C, the composition of the samples became more complex: along with magnetite they contain cementite Fe3C and wustite FeO.97O. The magnetization of the ferrocene-containing polymer depends on the synthesis and heat treatment temperature. For a sample synthesized at 140°C the formation of a magnetically ordered phase begins at 500°C, and at 800°C the magnetization reaches a maximum value of 32 Gs·cm3/g. The average size of magnetic particles according to TEM analysis was 8-26 nm. The principal possibility of controlling the size and composition of the nanoparticles, as well as their magnetization depending on the conditions of production and the temperature of polymer structuring is shown. The obtained results provide a good basis for the directed synthesis of magnetic ferrocene-containing polymers with preset characteristics.

The effect of non-polymeric components of a rubber mixture on the surface properties of butadienestyrene rubber obtained by solution polymerization was studied in the article. As non-polymeric components, ingredients widely used in the practice of the rubber industry were introduced into the rubber: fillers, surfactants of various types, and also sulfur - as a vulcanization agent. The surface free energy of the samples, a quantitative characteristic of the surface properties, was determined using the Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble method. It has been found that the surface properties of elastomeric compositions depend significantly on the solubility of the ingredients of the rubber composition and their adsorption properties. It has been shown that the most significant influence on the surface energy of butadiene-styrene rubber is exerted by the filler, on the surface of which rubber adsorption does not occur. The effect of surfactants on the surface energy of rubber compounds is different and depends on the nature of the surfactant. A partially soluble component - sulfur - in small quantities does not affect the surface energy of rubber samples. However, if it is present in the system in quantities greater than the solubility limit, it significantly reduces the surface free energy of the samples.

The article deals with the application of the system approach for constructing informationalgorithmic support for the pharmaceutical development of solid dosage forms. Information modeling of the life cycle of pharmaceutical drug development has been carried out starting from the stage of studying the active pharmaceutical substance and ending with the utilization of the drug. These models are built in the IDEF0 nomination. A generalized block diagram is presented that reflects, in its most general form, the iterative process of developing a ready-made dosage form as applied to the further transfer of technology. The basis of the system approach is QbD - "Quality planned in the development". To implement the QbD principle on the basis of the system approach, systemic set-theoretic models of information support of pharmaceutical development in the nomenclature of Melentiev have been constructed. A model for controlling the pressing process is also provided, which takes into account all the technological stages in the development of a solid dosage form. Functional models in the IDEF0 nomenclature of the technological process are constructed from the preparation of premises, personnel and components of the dosage form to the stage of packing and packaging of the finished dosage form. The construction of an informational intellectual control system for pharmaceutical development has been considered in detail with particular attention paid to the construction of a database of medicinal and auxiliary substances using the example of solid dosage forms. In Melentiev's bracket notation, the database of auxiliary substances necessary for the design of a solid dosage form is filled. The "Entity-relationship" model and the relational model for the database of medicinal and auxiliary substances have been constructe

03.10.2016 tarihinde MEB tarafından Suriyeli öğrencilerin Türk eğitim
sistemine katılmaları ve Türkçe dil yeterliklerinin geliştirilmesi amacıyla
Avrupa Birliği tarafından finanse edilen, 2 yıl süreli “Suriyeli Öğrencilerin
Türk Eğitim Sistemine Entegrasyonunun Desteklenmesi Projesi (PİCTES)”  başlatılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, 13-17 Aralık
2017 tarihinde Antalya’da Suriyeli Öğrencilerin dil yeterliliklerinin,
düzeylerinin belirlenmesi ve ölçülmesiyle ilgili “Suriyeli öğrencilerin Türkçe
Dil Yeterliklerine Yönelik Program ve Ölçek Geliştirme Çalıştayı” yapılmış ve
bir sonuç raporu ortaya çıkartılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Çalıştay sırasında yapılan
gözlemlerimiz ve sonuç raporundan yola çıkarak Çalıştay Raporunun
değerlendirilmesi amacını taşımaktadır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemiyle
hazırlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Gözlem ve Doküman Analizi tekniği
kullanılmıştır. Raporda her bir yaş grubu için sadece Okuma ve Yazma
Becerileri için A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 seviyelerinde kazanımlar belirlenmiş, Konuşma
ve Dinleme kazanımlarına yer verilmemiştir. Çalıştay Raporu’nda, kriter
belirlemenin zorluğu ve sınavın uygulanabilirliği noktasında süreci
zorlaştıracağı düşüncesiyle Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretimine yönelik
konuşma ve dinleme kazanımlarına ile ölçme çalışmalarına yer verilmemiştir.
Çalıştay Raporu’na göre hazırlanıp 21 Nisan 2018 tarihinde uygulanan sınavda
çoktan seçmeli testlerde sorunun puan değerinin belirlenmemesi, açık uçlu
sorularda ise değerlendirme kriterlerinin belirlenmemesi öznel
değerlendirmelere yol açmıştır. Çalıştay raporunda bulunan yeterliklere
yönelik etkinlikler sınıf ortamında uygulanmış ve sonuçları gözlemlenmiştir.
Gözlem sonucunda okuma ve yazma beceri alanlarında ilerleme kaydeden bireyin
en temel beceri alanları olan dinleme ve konuşma becerilerinde geride kaldığı
ve iletişim kuramadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu da Çalıştay’da belirlenen teorik
kararların uygulamada verimli olmadığı sonucunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır.

This paper presents a method of determining the location and size of distributed generation (DG) considering to operate the configuration of distribution network to minimize the real power loss. The proposed method which is based on the genetic algorithm (GA) is divided into two stages. In the first stage, GA is used to optimize the location and size of DG in the mesh distribution network, while in the second stage, GA is used to determine the radial network configuration after installing DG. The simulation results on the 33-nodes and 69-nodes systems show that the proposed method can be an efficient method for the placing DG problem and that is considering to solve the problem of distribution network reconfiguration.
