Published: December 2020

In this study, equipment elements which have been used in Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University campus, were analysed considering various criteria in terms of landscape architecture. In this study, lighting and flooring elements, trash cans, sitting elements etc. were evaluated considering some criteria such as maintenance, design, ergonomics, etc. Within the scope of the study, it has been determined whether the equipment elements in the campus meet the people needs. There are insufficient number of seating elements in the campus, security problems occur due to the lack of lighting elements in certain places. The bus stops in the campus are sufficient numerically, and they are in suitable areas in terms of location. In addition, the number of telephone booths and the number of trash cans in the campus are insufficient. The designs of the equipment elements are similar, and equipment elements have traditional design. As paving elements, key paving stones are used on pedestrian roads, so that in some areas, collapses occur, so fall, snag, etc. on pedestrian roads. Finally, suggestions for using equipment elements in campus areas were developed.

Authors: Soydan Orhun , Benliay Ahmet
Published: December 2020

After realizing that multi-storey buildings are contrary to human nature, the importance of natural landscape and green areas around it has been noticed. For this reason, people want to see how their environment will be in the design phase and the importance of project presentations is increasing day by day. Information technologies for spatial thinking, imagination and modelling have gradually started to be included in landscape design processes. The concept of virtual reality, augmented reality and immersive virtual reality are becoming more and more involved in our lives due to reasons such as the size of the devices getting smaller and their prices being relatively accessible to everyone. As an alternative to traditional presentation techniques and two-dimensional presentation techniques on the computer, making presentations in a virtual reality environment can be a stronger factor in people‘s perception of the environment. In the study visual sets in basic, intermediate and advanced level of detail for the same landscape design and project site have been created. Each set consists of hand-drawn perspective image, computer aided perspective image, stereoscopic 360-degree VR image and an augmented reality model. In order to evaluate these visual sets, interviews were made with 10 landscape architects who are experts in the subject. As a result of the study, criteria‘s for landscape presentations has been discussed and the advantages and disadvantages of landscape design presentations that will be created using virtual and augmented reality have been evaluated.

Published: December 2020

Dünyadaki en kritik yaşam unsurlarından biri olan suyun, etkili kullanımı gün geçtikçe önem kazanmaktadır. Nüfusun durmaksızın artması ve iklim değişiklikleri ile beraber; su kaynaklarının hem tüketim hızı hem de kullanım şekilleri tartışma konusu olmuştur. Bu konulara çözüm getirebilecek yöntemlerden biri de geçmişi çok uzun yıllar öncesine dayanan “Su Hasadı” yöntemidir. Su hasadı; insan, hayvan veya bitkilerin kullanımı için su sağlamak amacıyla, yağışla meydana gelen yüzey akışının toplanması olarak tanımlanabilir. Tekniğin mikro havza boyutunda çatı ve çiftlik sistemleriyle kullanımını görmek mümkünken; makro havza boyutunda ise vadi yatağı ve vadi dışı sistemler kullanılmaktadır. Su kaynaklarının önemli bir kısmını kullanan tarım sektöründe; üretimin devam ettiği kurak ve yarı kurak bölgelere düşen yağmur suyunun büyük bir kısmı, buharlaşma yoluyla veya akışa geçerek verimli bir şekilde kullanılamadan uzaklaşır. Su hasadı tekniğinde ise yağmur suları depolandıktan sonra tarım arazilerine uygulanmak üzere bekletilebilir. Yöntem; buharlaşma veya akış sebebiyle kayıplar yaşanmayacağından toplam sulama suyu miktarını arttıracak ve su kaynakları üzerindeki baskıyı azaltacaktır. Kaynakların yükünü azaltması dışında; toprak erozyonunun önlenmesinde oynadığı rol de yöntemin ana faydalarından biri olarak görülmektedir. Genel olarak uygun coğrafyaya göre uygun yöntem seçildiğinde; su hasadı düşük dış girdili bir yöntemdir ve uygulanması zor değildir. Birkaç istisna dışında, hasat edilen suyu iletmek veya uygulamak için enerjiye ihtiyaç duymaz. Bu çalışmada su hasadı yönteminin; ana unsurları, farklı kullanım alanları ve teknikleri hakkında bilgi verilmektedir.

Authors: Abdullah Ahmad Anis
Published: December 2020

Abstract The results of the achievements of Indonesian students in the 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) show that Indonesian students' mathematical abilities are still below average. One of the reasons for the low PISA Indonesia 2018 results is that students are not used to non-routine questions, students are more interested in solving questions according to the material but do not understand contextual questions. In addition, many students think that mathematics is one of the solutions to this problem is learning that is difficult and boring. Based on these problems, an interesting and contextual mathematics learning approach is needed according to the mandate of the 2013 curriculum. One of them is by learning mathematics based on local culture or better known as ethnomatematics. This research is a descriptive study with an ethnographic approach to geometry material which is one of the contents of PISA. The purpose of this study is to explore the concepts of geometric transformation in the decoration of buildings of a typical cultural heritage of Yogyakarta. The results showed that the variety of decorations in Yogyakarta-specific cultural heritage buildings contained geometric transformation concepts including translation (shift), reflection (reflection), rotation (rotation), and dilation (multiplication). Keywords: ethnomatematics, decoration, geometric transformation. Abstrak Hasil prestasi siswa Indonesia pada Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA) 2018 menunjukkan kemampuan matematika siswa indonesia masih di bawah rata-rata.  Salah satu alasan rendahnya hasil PISA Indonesia 2018 adalah siswa tidak terbiasa dengan soal non-rutin, siswa lebih tertarik menyelesaikan soal sesuai  materi tetapi kurang memahami soal yang bersifat kontekstual.

Authors: Kambhampati Srinivas B. S. , Chittoor Sai Prasad
Published: December 2020

One of the most important requirements for a good arthroscopic procedure is a clear view of the operating field. Infrapatellar fat pad is known to obstruct the field of view inside the knee for an arthroscopic surgeon. A clear view also shortens the operating time and saves valuable time under tourniquet. Different methods have been used to either avoid the fat pad, shave the fat pad, or retract to give a clear view inside the knee joint. We describe a technique using sutures which is simple, safe, inexpensive, reproducible, and effective in providing retraction of the fat pad.

Considerações críticas acerca das teorias de Robert/Raewyn Connell e Judith Butler para o estudo das masculinidades
Authors: Bagiotto Botton Fernando
Published: December 2020

Realizaremos um despretensioso balanço crítico de algumas possibilidades teóricas sobre a questão da masculinidade a partir de um diálogo por nós estabelecido entre a socióloga Raewyn Connell e a filósofa Judith Butler. Iniciaremos nosso texto com algumas dúvidas com relação à forma com que estudamos as masculinidades contemporaneamente, num conjunto de reflexões de fundamento epistemológico que, ao nosso ver, possuem poucas respostas, mas que atravessam as problemáticas lançadas pelas pesquisadoras debatidas. Passaremos para uma crítica à teoria das masculinidades hegemônicas de Connell para então apresentar algumas possibilidades de análises que podem ser apropriadas da teoria queer de Butler. Por conseguinte, tentaremos traçar alguns pontos de confluência entre as leituras mais recentes realizadas por Connell e sua relação epistemologicamente tensa, mas politicamente paralela com os estudos de Butler.Palavras-chave: masculinidades; teoria; gênero.
O declínio do homem provedor chefe de família: entre privilégios e ressentimentos
Authors: Oliveira Caíque Diogo de
Published: December 2020

As mudanças na sociedade brasileira, pós-década de 1990, resultaram em mudanças na condição masculina. Assim, busca-se investigar como o declínio da hegemonia do homem como chefe de família se articula a construção social da masculinidade em seu período. Parte-se de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratória que recorre a fontes documentais e bibliográficas. Os dados apontam que em 1995 cerca de 23% dos domicílios eram chefiados por mulheres, em 2019 esse percentual é de 48%. Esse movimento no chefiamento do lar coincide com um contexto no qual os homens tem cada vez se ressentido com as conquistas femininas/feministas. Sem perceber os frutos do privilégio da condição de gênero, bem como das mudanças no âmbito do capitalismo em sua dimensão neoliberal, os homens têm assumido uma posição ressentida buscam no passado um lugar onde encontram segurança.
Masculinidades e carnaval na Porto Alegre do último quartel do século XIX
Authors: Leal Caroline Pereira
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho busca apresentar uma interpretação da história do carnaval de Porto Alegre por meio dos estudos de gênero. O ano de 1873 foi um marco no carnaval de Porto Alegre: nasciam as sociedades carnavalescas Esmeralda e Os Venezianos. Tais agremiações pretendiam mudar a cara dos festejos na capital gaúcha, instaurando um novo modelo de festa - o carnaval veneziano, com préstitos e bailes fechados a seus sócios. Além de modernizar e moralizar os festejos, substituindo as brincadeiras de entrudo por uma comemoração que fosse “civilizada”, “moderna” e representante dos novos tempos, o carnaval veneziano trouxe novos protagonistas para a festa - os jovens esmeraldinos e venezianos – relegando às mulheres a função de espectadoras. Dessa forma, nosso objetivo é averiguar as representações de masculinidades apresentada pelo discurso da imprensa porto-alegrense a partir da instauração do carnaval veneziano, buscando discutir a construção social da masculinidade na Porto Alegre do século XIX.  Pretendemos mostrar que a reforma que houve no carnaval serviu como reforço das hierarquias dominantes do masculino, nas quais os homens passaram não só a executar, como a representar o próprio carnaval, dentro de um ideal de modernidade

Authors: Pedersen Marina
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo a análise da propaganda de uma hamburgueria, veiculada durante o ano de 2016 na rede social Facebook – buscamos identificar relações entre o consumo de carnes, a heteronormatividade, a masculinidade e a homofobia. Posto isto, o modelo de masculinidade subjacente presente na propaganda é atrelado a duas características: heterossexualidade e consumo de carnes. Para que a análise fosse realizada, nas primeiras seções o artigo se dedica a explorar, em um primeiro momento, a construção dos gêneros masculino e feminino, além da hierarquização entre heterossexualidade e outras orientações sexuais. E em um segundo momento é dedicado à análise a respeito das relações entre gênero e alimentação. Ademais, na seção final, também é indicado o uso da referida propaganda em situações educacionais sobre sexualidade e gênero, pensando em uma educação sexual emancipatória comprometida com a formação de cidadãos críticos e capazes de identificar e combater situações de discriminação de gênero e sexual.
Uma análise histórico-econômica das políticas do primeiro governo de Barack Obama nos Estados Unidos, 2009-2012
Authors: Schincariol Vitor Eduardo
Published: December 2020

A economia dos Estados Unidos passou por uma grande crise econômico-financeira iniciada no ano de 2008, a chamada crise do subprime. O desencadear desta crise coincidiu com a posse do primeiro presidente negro da história dos Estados Unidos, o democrata Barack Obama. Sua administração teve então que lidar com os eventos subsequentes originados pela crise, particularmente mediante a aplicação de políticas econômicas bastante heterodoxas no campo monetário e fiscal. A partir de uma contextualização histórica, de uma discussão da bibliografia e de uma análise de documentos e dados oficiais, o artigo avalia a política econômica adotada nos Estados Unidos durante a primeira administração de Barack Obama (2009-2012), sob uma abordagem histórico-econômica.

O fantástico caso de Murilo Rubião na história da literatura brasileira
Authors: Berchez Amanda Naves
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo, pretendemos fazer uma revisão acerca da fortuna crítica de Murilo Rubião, autor mineiro cuja obra se resume ao corpus publicado de 33 contos comumente tidos como fantásticos. Pela falta de autores brasileiros com cujas obras pudesse ser formada uma tradição no gênero, Murilo Rubião traçou uma caminhada literária mais solitária, acabando, por vezes, relegado na história das letras brasileiras. Além disso, pretendemos fazer uma retomada dos pontos capitais e próprios da contística muriliana já captados por críticos de renome como Antonio Candido, Davi Arrigucci Jr. e Humberto Werneck, de modo a sublinhar a devida importância do autor no cenário literário brasileiro e, por conseguinte, contribuir com o maior discernimento de sua obra.
Covid 19 Pandemic: Impacts and Future Implications on Personal Travel Behavior in the State of Qatar
Authors: Alhajyaseen Wael , Hussain Qinaat , Kharbeche Mohamed , Dias Charitha
Published: December 2020

In December 2019, a novel and contagious coronavirus also known as Covid-19 outbroke in Wuhan, China. In response to the virus, many countries implemented strict travel restrictions and lockdowns to hold back the spread of the Covid-19. The measures to contain it have brought dramatic changes in individual lifestyles, daily activities and travel behavior. This study focuses on the impacts on individual travel behavior including work/education, shopping and out-of-home physical activities in the state of Qatar. In addition, the study also presents individuals’ expectations and preferences regarding future travel activities. The Qatar Transportation and Traffic Safety Center, QTTSC conducted a questionnaire survey investigate the impacts of Covid-19 on individuals’ travel behavior. The questionnaire survey included questions regarding individuals’ travel activities for work/education, shopping, out-of-home workouts, before and during Covid-19 and the individual preferences and expectation for changes in their daily travel-activity in the future. After removal of the incomplete entries and outliers, the analyses were done including 404 respondents residing in Qatar for whom 63% were males while 36% were females. The results showed that there were drastic drops for all the activity types. Around 73% of the respondents started work-from-home or online education. The results also revealed that more than 20% of the respondents who were traveling in a group before the Covid-19 pandemic chose to travel alone during the Covid-19 crisis. Most of them were traveling with family before the Covid-19 outbreak. The results for individual expectations and preference revealed that highly educated respondents will prefer to continue work-from-home or bulk shopping. Young and/or Western people prefer to rely more on online shopping. The findings from this study could be very useful for policymakers and other relevant authorities to construct flexible work/education/business policies. This could help them to effectively respond to any future outbreaks and to smartly utilize the available resources of the transport system during post-pandemic and new-normal times.
COVID-19 Personal Protection Equipment (PPE): A Potential Source of Microplastic Pollution in the State of Qatar
Authors: Veerasingam Subramanian , Al-Khayat Jassim A , Vethamony Ponnumony
Published: December 2020

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic. The personal protection equipment (PPE), especially medical face masks and N95 filtering face piece respirators (FFRs) are typically worn by people at home/office/working place/outside to protect from infection. Thus, the increase in consumption of facemasks and FFRs across Qatar has given rise to a new environmental challenge, adding to the vast plastic waste in the environment. Our team has already established the baseline levels of marine litter (ML) including plastic waste along the west coast of Qatar based on November 2019 ML survey (Veerasingam et al., 2020a). To study the impact of COVID-19 on ML, we have conducted another survey along the west coast of Qatar in July 2020. The distribution of PPE is higher on the southern part of west coast of Qatar than the northern part. Attenuated total reflectance - Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the polymer types of surgical facemasks, N95 FFRs and gloves. Polypropylene (PP) and polyamide (PA) were the abundant polymer types of PPEs. This study confirmed that the PPE could be a potential source for microplastic contaminant in the environment, especially if the present situation continues. Therefore, proper waste removal measures have to be followed.

The Introduction of the Transport Service Tax and Transport Service Treasury in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
Authors: Łopatecki Karol
Published: December 2020

The article analyses actions taken and normative acts issued that formed the basis for the functioning of the transport service tax (podwoda tax) (1546–1578). The impact of Lithuanian solutions on the system introduced in the Polish Crown (1564–1565) is assessed. The tax base and characteristics of rules and collection are presented in the article. The resistance of the nobility to the introduction of this tribute is described. The resistance was much stronger than that observed for even extraordinary (one-off ) taxes several dozen times higher. Reasons for the marginalisation of this tribute and the ever smaller amounts going into the Land Treasury of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania are also shown.

The article stresses that the only permanent annual tax in force in Lithuania was introduced in 1558. This state of affairs lasted until the reign of Władysław IV. He donated the quarterly tax (kwarta) to the treasury as income. The potential annual revenues resulting from the introduced tax ranged between 2,700 and 4,400 zlotys, and were allocated to the transport system based on transport service provision. The Transport Service Treasury (Podwoda Treasury) was to be supervised by the treasury guardian (skarbny), together with the treasury writer (pisarz skarbowy). Both were expected to pay the calculated amounts to messengers, envoys, and other people travelling for state purposes.
The Punishment of Murderers in the Noble Courts of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Second Half of the 18th Century
Authors: Stankevič Adam
Published: December 2020

This article gives an analysis of the punishment the noble courts of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania applied to murderers in the second half of the 18th century, where the noble courts acted as courts of first instance in hearing murder cases. The author aims to determine the catalogue of punishments applied in such cases and the trends in the application of punishments in terms of how they conformed with the valid legal norms of the day, and search for manifestations of the humanisation of the law. After an examination of 184 verdicts, the author found that in cases of wilful murder, the noble courts usually applied the death penalty as per the set laws. Exceptions applied only to individuals from the estate of nobles, who instead of receiving a death sentence were sometimes sentenced to lower or upper tower punishment, which was by law ordinarily applied to other crimes. At the same time, the executors avoided qualified ways of applying the death sentence (capital punishment). Of the qualified forms of punishment, only quartering was applied, usually to those convicted of the aforementioned crime, ritual murder, and, in some instances, in cases of robbery. Alternative forms of punishment were episodic, and were only applied to a small number of convicted persons: imprisonment as a form of punishment recommended by philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment was applied in only 5.3 per cent of murder cases. In most instances, imprisonment was related to the introduction of the 1782 Cardinal Laws of the Permanent Council. In this way, the research reveals the conservative nature of the estate of nobles in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and their efforts to continue to adhere to the strict law outlined in the Third Statute of Lithuania. It is likely that this practice could have been a result of the poor state of the penitentiary system, as there was not a single public prison in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the time where long-term imprisonment could have been possible.
The Formation of Authorities of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Lithuania and Belarus on the Example of the People’s Commissariat for Health Care at the Beginning of 1919
Authors: Kapliyev Alexey A.
Published: December 2020

The article presents an analysis of the formation and activity of the People’s Commissariat for Health Care of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Lithuania and Belarus at the beginning of 1919. The basic structure of the Commissariat was worked out on the basis of various sources. It was found that, due to the outbreak of the 1919–1921 Polish-Soviet war, the efficiency of the Commissariat during its time in Vilnius was limited. The relative stabilisation of the health-care management system was achieved after the Commissariat was evacuated to Minsk, and later to Bobruisk, away from the front line. It has been proven that at the beginning of the Polish-Soviet war, military and civil medical care was combined in a single system, and all medical professionals in the Lithuanian-Belarusian Soviet Republic were required to do military service. The worsening of the military situation for the Red Army in Lithuania and Belarus determined the split of the Health Care Commissariat into two separate divisions: the field division for medical care for Soviet troops near the front line, and the civil division for helping civilians.

Published: December 2020

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of Albizia lebbeck seed oil (ALO) on the fatty acid composition of weaner rabbits.50 weaned rabbits of mixed breed and sexes, aged between 6-7 weeks with an average initial body weight of 460 ± 1.3 were randomly assigned into five dietary treatments of ten rabbits per group; each group was further divided into 5 replicates consisting of two rabbits each. Basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of rabbits according to NRC (1977). Rabbits in treatment 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were supplemented with ALO at 0 %, 0.1%, 0.2 %, 0.3 % and 0.4 % respectively. Feed and water was given ad libitum and the experiment lasted for 12 weeks.The results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in saturated fatty acid (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and omega-6/omega -3 ratio (n-6:n-3) values obtained. Rabbits fed diet containing 0.4 % ALO had the highest PUFA value (54.17 %), followed by T4 (53.01 %), T3 (45.13 %), T2 (37.61 %) and T1 (26.93 %) respectively. Similarly (n-6:n-3) composition in T5 (3.65 %) increased in T5 fed 0.4 % ALO compared with T1 (1.38 %) fed 0% ALO.Antherogenic index were significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatments. It can be concluded that supplementation of ALO at 0.4 % highly influenced the composition of fatty acid in rabbit meat.
