Servi Boylu Yılan Saçlı Sevgilinin Başka Bir Düzlemde Okunma Denemesi
Authors: YILDIZ Ayşe
Published: December 2019

Klasik
Türk şiirinde sevgilinin güzellik unsurları arasında ön plana çıkanlardan ikisi
boy ve saçtır. Metinlerde bunların tasviri esnasında sıklıkla kullanılan benzetmelikler
ise servi ve yılandır. Bu iki benzetmelik Türk şiirine modellik eden diğer
klasik edebiyatlarda da aynı şekilde var olmuştur. Araştırmacılar, aynı
benzetmeliklerin kullanılmasının sebebini klasik edebiyatların idealize
edebiyatlar olduğu, soyutlamayı ön planda tuttuğu, benzetme unsurları aynı olsa
bile, benzetme yönü ve hüsn-i talil gibi şairin yeteneğini ön plana çıkaran
ayrıntıların ve sonuçta ortaya çıkan üslup mükemmeliyetinin bu edebiyat
anlayışında öncelendiği noktasından hareketle açıklamaya çalışmışlardır. Bu
açıklamalar temelde yanlış olmamakla birlikte benzetme unsurlarının kökeni, bu
edebiyata kaynaklık ettiği kabul edilen metin ya da kültürlerin çok daha
öncesinde antik dünyanın kabullerinde/mitolojide berraklaşmaktadır.Sâbir’in Hophopnâme
isimli kitabındaki “Dilber” şiirinde yer alan ve klasik Türk şiirinin sevgili
tipiyle alay etmeyi amaçlayan servi ağacının üstünden sarkan yılanların yer
aldığı çizim, Abdülbaki Gölpınarlı’nın Divan
Edebiyatı Beyanındadır kitabına da aynen alınmış ve klasik Türk şiirinin
muarızlarınca sürekli bir eleştiri malzemesi olarak kullanılmıştır. Konuyla
ilgili mevcut tartışmaları değerlendirmek bu çalışmanın kapsamı dışındadır. Bu
makalede klasik Türk şiirinde sevgilinin boyunun benzetileni olan servi ve saçının
benzetileni olan yılanın, idealize bir edebiyat anlayışının ötesinde mitolojik
ilişkiler eşliğinde farklı bir bağlamda okunabilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
The problem of conflict of military students
Authors: Sivak Aleksandr N. , Polushina Ol'ga B.
Published: December 2019

The article reveals of the concepts of "conflict" and "proneness to conflict". Proneness to conflict of the person manifests in the process of conflict, but does not reduce that to it. The article highlights characterics of military personnel, that provoke the formation of conflict. First of all, they include: homogeneity on the basis of gender status, social isolation, a high degree of interpersonal rivalry. Military students have psycho-emotional fixation, depending on the kind of conflict (horizontally or vertically); that changes the initiative of the opponents in the conflict. They are reluctant to hostility and aggression, have a fairly high level of vertical subordination. At the same time, they have positive aggression. Based on the results of the study, the main activities in the military institute are presented with the aim of preventing and correction of military students: legislative block, psychosocial block and educative block.

Published: December 2019

An approach has been developed to create and use tables on the nervous system, reflecting the specifics of "Human Anatomy" and the features of its study in practical classes at a medical higher education institution. The specifics of the subject "Human Anatomy" and the methods of teaching it at a medical university determine the features of the functions of tables as teaching tools (they focus on the formation of teaching and research skills), content (high scientific level of information, increased difficulty of anatomical material), methods of study organisation (more widespread use of research tasks); in the set of tables for practical exercises, a large place is occupied by teaching aids focused on independent work of medical students; the integrated use of teaching aids in practical classes on human anatomy – all that helps to increase the level of students' training, to shape their clinical thinking from the first year.

Authors: Bagadirova Susanna K.
Published: December 2019

This article discusses the problem of the interdependence of personal resources and activity requirements, as a factor determining the possibility of personal self-realisation in sports. The article presents an analysis of the views of researchers on the problem of personal resources. The article also analyses the model of work requirements / resources (Arnold Bakker, Evangelia Demerouti). This model describes the specifics of the interaction of requirements and labour resources that affect the psychological well-being and productivity of the individual. The presented model is described in the article in relation to sports activities on the example of judo. In accordance with the requirements of the model, the article describes the activities of a judoka, the requirements of judo, as a type of activity, the resources that this sport has for a person, the personal qualities of judokas that determine the emergence of resource structures. The proposed approach in describing the interdependence of the athlete’s personal resources and the requirements of the activity (sport) will be of interest of sports specialists and athletes as a model for studying the possibility of self-realisation of a person in sports.

Interdisciplinary approach to the study of human trafficking as a social and psychological phenomenon
Authors: Churakova Irina Ye. , Saporovskaya Mariya V.
Published: December 2019

Human trafficking is a complex concept that not only lacks a universal definition but is conflated by a wide range of competing theories or models of explanation. As evidenced by the range of theoretical models, several issues have been identified which may serve to further advance our ability to explainhuman trafficking and better inform our responses. This can involve protection of victims, prosecution of perpetrators, prevention of human trafficking, partnership of agencies and organisations in combating human trafficking, etc. Although different classification models are used to categorise the range of theories, they are generally divided into macro or micro-level theories, and theoretical integration may represent a new line of explanation that might better capture the complexity and diversity of human trafficking.
FORMATION OF PACKAGES WITH PERIODIC CHANGE OF FORCES OF PRESSURE OF THE DRUM TO WINDING SHAFT
Authors: Rudovsky P. N.
Published: December 2019

For the formation of high-quality packaging of cross winding on machines with a constant speed, release into the composition of the winding mechanism introduce a dispersion device of the bundle winding, providing a change in the speed of the yarn guide according to the law with a long cycle of work. When laying the thread with a slotted drum, as on a spinning self-rolling machine PSK-225 SH there is no way to influence the movement of the yarn guide. In this case, effective dispersion can be achieved by periodically changing the clamping force of the bobbin to the winding shaft. When the effort of pressing the bobbin to the winding shaft changes, the contact radius of the bobbin changes, and hence its rotation frequency, which in turn leads to a change in the angle of elevation of the coil. A mathematical model is obtained that describes the change in the angle of the coil on the package from the effort of pressing the bobbin to the winding shaft. It is shown that such a device can effectively eliminate defects in the structure of the winding in the form of bundles and ribbons.

Wages and Labor Productivity in Russia: Regional Aspect
Authors: Shanygin S. I. , Zuga E. I.
Published: December 2019

The presented study examines the statistics of labor productivity and wages in the Russian Federation.

Aim. The study aims to analyze trends in the changes of labor productivity and wages in Russia in the territorial and temporal aspects.

Tasks. This study examines and compares the dynamics of wages and labor productivity in Russia, identifying the specific regional features of their fluctuation.

Methods. The authors conduct a statistical research of the current situation in Russia as well as a dynamic, correlation, and structural analysis based on the data of the Federal State Statistics Service, and formulate economic assessments of the results from the perspective of the systems approach.

Results. The study substantiates that it is inadvisable to traditionally exclude anomalous data in the statistical research of economic systems as this leads to unacceptable changes in the structures of the latter. The authors propose comparing these systems by enlarged structural elements. Some common Russian trends in the changes of labor productivity and wage levels in time and space are analyzed and specified by federal districts and constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Consistent patterns in the dynamics of annual frequency distributions and variations of these indicators by regions, districts, and republics of the Russian Federation are described, and the leading and underperforming regions are identified.

Conclusions. Over the examined time period, labor productivity in Russia grew with slight fluctuations, while average wages only increased during economically favorable periods (in constant prices). The overall situation in the country is slowly improving and remains relatively stable in the regional aspect, but not the best. It would be advisable to implement economic mechanisms aimed at improving the self-sufficiency of the country and its regions. The authors believe the current methodology of the Federal Statistics Service to be applicable to the measurement of performance of industrial regions and — to a lesser extent — agricultural regions.

Suspended sediment concentration and discharge are important factors affecting the operational reliability of run-of-river small hydro power (SHP) plants. Elimination of sediment transported with the flow across the turbines of run-of-river plants is therefore a critical issue for the sustainability of the SHP industry. Comprise of a small diversion weir throughout a stream, the SHP plants does not have space to pile sediments but should be able to divert the incoming bed loads to the river downstream. Sediments in the water entering through the turbines with extreme velocity erode the contact surfaces of turbine mechanisms which results in reduced hydraulic efficiency and increased maintenance cost. Subsequently, desilting basins have become an essential part of the water conductor system of run-of-river SHP to reduce the impact of damage due to suspended sediment. Desilting basins are devised as settling basins to settle sediments larger than a targeted size. They are constructed just after power intake and discharge is despatched through them before pass into the head race tunnel. This study is aimed to estimate the sediment removal efficiency of SHP desilting basins based on data recorded at the intake of a run-of-river SHP. Considering the hydrological variability, probabilistic approach was used to obtain mathematical function for the probability density of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) based on the recorded data.

The objective of this study is to identify the crucial factors that will influence the intention to discard single-use plastic in Malaysia. The underlying framework of this research model is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This empirical study is using an online questionnaire which is distributed to 364 respondents in Selangor and Federal Territories (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya). The research hypotheses are tested using linear regression-stepwise technique. The finding from this study revealed that for the case of Malaysia, intention to discard single-use plastic is predominantly influenced by Consumer Knowledge, Environmental Concern, Psychological Benefit, Social Influence and Willingness-to-Pay. Therefore, this paper provides valuable insight with regards to the predictors that influences the intention to discard the single-use plastics usage within the consumers in Malaysia. It offers information for policy makers with collaboration from industry players to look into better solution and appropriate policies intervention in order to embolden the usage of eco-friendly alternatives that could replace single-use plastics in Malaysia. Future study and improvements are proposed to be done to consider other possible predictors and improve the characterization of respondents by extending the survey to a wider coverage within Malaysia.

An energy system in a country has complex impacts on its economy. A retrenchment of energy supply influences economic activity such as distribution and saving of energy, as well as changes in technology to emphasize energy efficiency. Despite the advantages of hydropower developments in power generation over the past decades, highly controversial issues due to various social and environmental concerns are still debatable. A challenge for hydropower developers and operators, as well as government planners and regulators, is to develop tools that promote good practice and sustainable hydropower projects in energy security. In the future, both the scarcity of water and the cost of energy will likely to become limiting factors for economic and population growth, particularly in Malaysia, where the population is projected to grow dramatically. Various climate change models suggested that clean water supplies may decrease significantly. Therefore, integrated planning between the energy and water sectors will be essential to meet the rising demands of both resources. The purpose of this study is to review and identify the method that can deal with historical data and current practices at the hydropower plants to predict future electricity production due to the predicted water used in hydropower plants at the study areas. Various available methods to forecast water used and the electricity generated in hydropower plants have been identified and discussed in this paper.

The Malaysia electricity supply industry (MESI) has gone through a series of reforms and restructuring since it first started at the beginning of the last century. The latest series of reform, known as MESI 1.0 has been ongoing since 2010. The objectives are to achieve secure and reliable supply of energy, to have economically competitive tariffs, to be environmentally sustainable and to improve customer satisfaction/choice. MESI 1.0 is now coming to its end, and in a recent development, the government has announced the commencement of the next series of MESI reform, MESI 2.0. The objectives of MESI 2.0 are to increase the industry efficiency, to future proof the industry, structure, regulations and key processes, and to empower the consumers. MESI 2.0 is obviously the continuation of MESI 1.0. Thus, prior to the start of MESI 2.0, it is important to review the progress and achievements of MESI 1.0 in such a way that enables informed decisions to be made in designing MESI 2.0. This paper therefore presents a review on the progress and achievement of MESI 1.0, focusing on the initiatives undertaken and evaluating the extent to which the objectives of MESI 1.0 have been addressed by the initiatives. Analysis performed on the review results shows that the second objective of having competitive tariffs is mostly addressed by the initiatives whereas more work needs to be done to address the other objectives, particularly on being environmentally sustainable. Liberalization through the unbundling of MESI is also identified as the potential means to achieve the objectives of MESI 2.0. Findings from this study can serve as the reference point in identifying the current state of MESI reform and in determining the way forward for subsequent MESI reforms.

This research paper aims to define and evaluate factors affecting labor productivity in the construction site.A formal questionnaire survey was used as the tool for collecting data from the workforce from dry dock construction. The data collected were analyzed using the index of relative importance (RII) to rank the variables based on their relative importance. Suitable recommendations were made to working pattern considering the survey results and this showed an increment in the labour productivity. In this study the responses was collected from the thirty professionals working on the dry dock construction site. Based on the RII value the responses were analyzed and top ten factors were selected that influences the labor productivity the most. After implementing suggestive measures in four teams, productivity was improved and as a result baseline productivity for all four teams was almost around 350 kg/man. Improving productivity can help to reduce time and cost at the construction field.

Financial inclusion is an excellent tool for empowerment of farmers. The current study examines the level of financial inclusion and study the association between various demographical variables and financial inclusion among the farmers. A survey of 360 farmers across Prayagraj district was conducted, this survey found that 71.4% of farmers had his bank accounts while 23.6% of farmers were actively using their bank accounts in past 3 months and only 10.6 % of farmers were taken loan from banks or other formal financial institutions. The survey shows that farmers were financially inclusion: as 72.8% have poor financial inclusion, 19.2% have fair financial inclusion, and only 8.1% have sound financial inclusion. The farmers had not sufficient financial literacy. Further analysis shows that gender is not associated with degree of financial inclusion while other demographic variables i.e. education qualification, family income, age group and size of landholding is closely associated with degree of financial inclusion.

Leukaemia is a blood cancer that is characterized by the bone marrow’s unregulated and irregular generation of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the blood. By testing the microscopic blood cell images, diseases can be detected and its early diagnosis can be done. In the current work,at smart decision support systemutilizing microscopic images is proposedto make a diagnosisof acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Identification through images is a quick and inexpensive technique since there is no equipment is specially needed for lab testing. The improved Bare-Bones Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is usedto identify the important distinguishing featuresof blast cells and the healthy cells to help in carry out the acute lymphoblastic leukaemia classification with efficiency. To avoid the poor accuracy, the modified median filtering has been introduced in this novel, which helps in removing the noise from the images and maintains the edge which is used to improve the identification of leukocytes and lymphocytes during the segmentation process. Enhanced linear contrast stretching is introduced in image enhancement for enriching the image. In the next step, feature extraction is carried out through the second order statistical features. Bare-bones with Adaptive Bat Optimization (BBABO) is used for feature selection. At last, the classification is carried out by using the combined Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) and here the Enhanced Support Vector Machine (ESVM) is a classifier called as FNESVM.

Though agriculture is the mainstay in India, it accounts only 14 percent sectoral share in GDP. This is mainly because of low productivity and income generation capacity of agriculture. In this regard, crop diversification can act as a mechanism to eliminate this dilemma. It not only will increase the agricultural productivity but also will accelerate the income generation capacity. In this study we have investigated the impact of crop diversification on economic growth in India since 1988. The study is completely based on secondary data. In order to investigate the impact of crop diversification on economic growth, we have estimated Granger causality test based on vector error correction model setting. The results reveal that in India, there is no causality running from crop diversification to economic growth in the short-run. However, in the long-run crop diversification causes economic growth in India and the nature of cause is positive. Finally, the study concludes that suitable policies should be adopted to encourage the farmer to adopt the crop diversification mechanism. This will ultimately accelerate economic growth of the nation through increased income and employment in agriculture and reduction in poverty of the nation.
