Multi-objective genetic programming for manifold learning: balancing quality and dimensionality
Authors: Lensen Andrew , Zhang Mengjie , Xue Bing
Published: June 2020

© 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Manifold learning techniques have become increasingly valuable as data continues to grow in size. By discovering a lower-dimensional representation (embedding) of the structure of a dataset, manifold learning algorithms can substantially reduce the dimensionality of a dataset while preserving as much information as possible. However, state-of-the-art manifold learning algorithms are opaque in how they perform this transformation. Understanding the way in which the embedding relates to the original high-dimensional space is critical in exploratory data analysis. We previously proposed a Genetic Programming method that performed manifold learning by evolving mappings that are transparent and interpretable. This method required the dimensionality of the embedding to be known a priori, which makes it hard to use when little is known about a dataset. In this paper, we substantially extend our previous work, by introducing a multi-objective approach that automatically balances the competing objectives of manifold quality and dimensionality. Our proposed approach is competitive with a range of baseline and state-of-the-art manifold learning methods, while also providing a range (front) of solutions that give different trade-offs between quality and dimensionality. Furthermore, the learned models are shown to often be simple and efficient, utilising only a small number of features in an interpretable manner.
Genetic Programming for Evolving a Front of Interpretable Models for Data Visualization
Authors: Lensen Andrew , Xue Bing , Zhang Mengjie
Published: June 2020

Data visualization is a key tool in data mining for understanding big datasets. Many visualization methods have been proposed, including the well-regarded state-of-the-art method t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding. However, the most powerful visualization methods have a significant limitation: the manner in which they create their visualization from the original features of the dataset is completely opaque. Many domains require an understanding of the data in terms of the original features; there is hence a need for powerful visualization methods which use understandable models. In this article, we propose a genetic programming (GP) approach called GP-tSNE for evolving interpretable mappings from the dataset to high-quality visualizations. A multiobjective approach is designed that produces a variety of visualizations in a single run which gives different tradeoffs between visual quality and model complexity. Testing against baseline methods on a variety of datasets shows the clear potential of GP-tSNE to allow deeper insight into data than that provided by existing visualization methods. We further highlight the benefits of a multiobjective approach through an in-depth analysis of a candidate front, which shows how multiple models can be analyzed jointly to give increased insight into the dataset.

Published: June 2020

© 2019 The Royal Society of New Zealand. Artificial intelligence (AI) emphasises the creation of intelligent machines/systems that function like humans. AI has been applied to many real-world applications. Machine learning is a branch of AI based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify hidden patterns, and make decisions with little/minimal human intervention. Evolutionary computation is an umbrella of population-based intelligent/learning algorithms inspired by nature, where New Zealand has a good international reputation. This paper provides a review on evolutionary machine learning, i.e. evolutionary computation techniques for major machine learning tasks such as classification, regression and clustering, and emerging topics including combinatorial optimisation, computer vision, deep learning, transfer learning, and ensemble learning. The paper also provides a brief review of evolutionary learning applications, such as supply chain and manufacturing for milk/dairy, wine and seafood industries, which are important to New Zealand. Finally, the paper presents current issues with future perspectives in evolutionary machine learning.

The article is devoted to modelling as a method of studying the educational environment of university as a process of creating an imaginary system of educational environment, which makes it possible to study the psycho-pedagogical laws. The university’s educational environment is defined as a multi-faceted structure that purposefully and spontaneously influences the professional and personal development of the future specialist, ensuring his / her readiness for professional activity and / or continuation of training, successful self-realization in the process of life activity. The educational environment is a set of material factors of the educational process and interpersonal relationships that establish the subjects of education in pedagogical interaction. The educational environment is a multilevel multicultural entity that is individual to each student; the environment of constructing one’s self, which provides the creation of favorable conditions for actualization of the inner world of the individual, his personal growth, self-realization, the formation of self-consciousness. The essential component of the educational environment is defined by the set of conditions (opportunities) and resources (material, financial, personal, technological, organizational, reputational) for the education of the individual, which are formed in the institution of higher education. The author emphasizes on the main features of the modern university’s educational environment in an open society: flexibility; community and communication; eventfulness; configurability; cultural conformity; spherical; openness, capacity for development and self-development; systematic, organization and structure; sociality; display. Prospects for further research are to investigate the impact of the higher education institution’s educational environment on the personal and professional development of each participant in the educational process.

Published: June 2020

Smulkiųjų skaidulų neuropatija (SSN) yra plonai mielinizuotų Aδ ir nemielinizuotų C nervinių skaidulų liga, kuri dažniausiai kliniškai pasireiškia simetriniais, nuo ilgio priklausančiais neuropatinio ir autonominio pobūdžio simptomais. Retesniais atvejais bū­dingi asimetriniai, nuo ilgio nepriklausantys židininiai ar daugiažidininiai klinikiniai požy­miai. Izoliuotos SSN diagnostika vis dar išlieka sudėtinga, kadangi dažniausiai standartinia­me elektroneuromiografiniame tyrime patologiniai nervų laidumo radiniai neaptinkami, o interpretuojant pacientų nusiskundimus iškyla sunkumų. Ją palengvina kiekybinis intraepiderminių nervinių skaidulų tankio matavimas odos biopsinėje medžiagoje ir kiekybinis juti­mo ar autonominių simptomų įvertinimas. SSN priežasčių spektras yra gana platus. Nustaty­ta, kad metaboliniai, imuniniai, neurotoksiniai ir kiti veiksniai gali lemti ligos išsivystymą, tačiau visgi apie 50 % visų SSN atvejų priežastys išlieka neaiškios. Literatūros duomenimis, iki trečdalio idiopatinės SSN pacientų ligos etiologija gali būti genetinės kilmės – nustatytas SSN ryšys su natrio jonų kanalų mutacijomis – Nav1.7 ir Nav1.8 (atitinkamai koduojami SCN9A ir SCN10A genų). Klinikinėje praktikoje svarbu ieškoti galimų SSN priežasčių ir, jas nustačius, skirti ne tik simptominius, bet ir etiopatogenetinius gydymo būdus. Šioje literatū­ros apžvalgoje aptarsime pagrindinius SSN klinikinius požymius, ligos priežastis, galimus diagnostinius metodus ir gydymą.

Išsėtinė sklerozė (IS) – lėtinė autoimuninė uždegiminė centrinės nervų sistemos liga, kuri paveikia daugiau nei 2,3 mln. žmonių visame pasaulyje. Apie 15 % atvejų IS prasi­deda pirminės progresuojančios išsėtinės sklerozės (PPIS) eiga. Ilgai buvo manyta, kad už­degimas yra pirminis veiksnys, pradedantis patologinių procesų mechanizmą, o neurodegeneracija tik paspartina ligos progresavimą. Naujausi duomenys atskleidžia tikslesnių detalių apie PPIS patogenezę, kurios paskatino kurti naują vaistą. Po ilgus metus trukusio nesėkmingų gydymo metodų taikymo naujas vaistas okrelizumabas parodė daug žadančių rezultatų, gydant PPIS. Vaistas buvo patvirtintas 2018 m. Europos vaistų agentūros (EMA). Nors PPIS laikyta nepagydoma liga, šiandien teikiama daugiau vilčių pacientams, stabdant negalios progresavimą.
Veiksniai, lemiantys elektroneuromiografijos tyrimo metu patiriamo skausmo intensyvumą
Authors: U. Ališauskaitė , D. Garšvienė , J. Švilpauskė-Laurynienė , M. Ališauskienė
Published: June 2020

Įvadas. Elektroneuromiografija (ENMG) yra tyrimo metodas, skirtas periferinių nervų ir raumenų ligų diagnostikai. Tyrimas laikomas nemaloniu, kartais skausmingu, nes jo metu naudojami trumpi (0,1-0,3 ms) elektros stimulai, o tiriant raumenis – adati­niai elektrodai. Nors dauguma pacientų tyrimą toleruoja gerai, nedidelė dalis pacientų jaučia nepakeliamą skausmą ir tyrimo at­sisako. Norėdami nustatyti veiksnius, lemiančius ENMG tyrimo skausmingumą, nusprendėme atlikti didelės imties tyrimą, kurio metu analizuota ne tik daug kartų tirtų demografinių veiksnių įta­ka skausmo pojūčiui, bet ir skausmo ryšys su tyrimo apimtimi, lė­tiniu skausmu, jo pobūdžiu ir paciento emocine būkle.
Tiriamieji ir tyrimo metodas. Atliktoje anoniminėje apklau­soje dalyvavo 400 pacientų, kuriems buvo atliktas ENMG tyri­mas. Anketą sudarė klausimai apie ENMG tyrimo metu patirto skausmo intensyvumą, naudojant Skaitmeninės analogijos ska­lę (SAS), demografinius duomenis, tyrimo apimtį, iki tyrimo pa­tirtą kitos kilmės skausmą ir klausimai iš Hospitalinės nerimo ir depresijos skalės (angl. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS).
Rezultatai. Tyrimo metu patirto skausmo intensyvumo vi­durkis buvo 3,76 ± 2,6. Nustatyta silpna neigiama koreliacija tarp skausmo intensyvumo ir išsilavinimo (r = -0,12, p = 0,03). Rasta statistiškai reikšminga (p = 0,011) koreliacija tarp skausmo inten­syvumo ir ENMG tyrimo apimties. Tyrimas buvo skausmingesnis pacientams, iki tyrimo patyrusiems kitos kilmės skausmą (p = 0,002). Nustatyta koreliacija tarp anksčiau patirto skausmo kokybinių charakteristikų (jutiminių bei emocinių) ir tyrimo me­tu patirto skausmo intensyvumo. Rasta reikšminga koreliacija tarp ENMG tyrimo metu patirto skausmo ir emocinės paciento būklės (p < 0,001).
Išvados. Analizuojant demografinių veiksnių ryšį su ENMG skausmingumu, rasta neigiama koreliacija tarp tyrimo metu pa­tirto skausmo ir išsilavinimo. Nustatyta reikšminga koreliacija tarp iki tyrimo patirto skausmo ir tyrimo skausmingumo. Nusta­tytas statistiškai reikšmingas ryšys tarp tyrimo metu patirto skausmo bei depresijos ir nerimo lygio.

Paraneoplastiniai neurologiniai sindromai (PNS) – grupė ligų, kai neurologinį sindromą sukelia ne tiesioginis naviko ar masės efektas centrinei ar periferinei nervų sistemai, o autoimuninis organizmo atsakas į naviką arba medžiagas, kurias išskiria naviko ląstelės. PNS yra retesni už tiesiogines, metastazines ir su gydymu susijusias vėžio komplikacijas, tačiau svarbūs, kadangi sukelia sunkius neurologinius pažeidimus ir didina mirtingumą pacientams, kuriems vėžio diagnozė nenustatyta. Paraneoplastinė anti-Yo antikūnų sukelta smegenėlių degeneracija siejama su specifiniu poūmės eigos progresuojančiu neurologiniu sindromu, nespecifiniais pakitimais vaizdiniuose tyrimuose ir ligos eigoje aptinkamais ginekologiniais piktybiniais navikais vyresnėms moterims. Nepaisant daugelio agresyvaus gydymo galimybių, pasveikimo prognozė yra abejotina. Straipsnyje pristatome du paraneoplastinės smegenėlių degeneracijos atvejus ir pateikiame literatūros apžvalgą.
Case report: Guillain-Barré syndrome and possible association with Lyme disease
Authors: Muliuolis I. , Tilindytė E. , Samaitienė R.
Published: June 2020

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory demyelinating or axon-damaging polyneuropathy. It is characterized by sensory, motor and reflex disorder, damaged cranial nerves, autonomic disorders, and, less frequently, damage to the central nervous system. This is a life-threatening condition that urges patients to seek emergency treatment for progressive pain, paralysis and/or respiratory distress that can cause death in the absence of timely treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment of this condition are very important in preventing fatal outcome. Although many infections are associated with the etiology of GBS, correlation with Lyme disease is determined very rarely. Lyme disease is a tick-borne Borrelia burgdorferi infection that can cause lesions of multiple organ systems: usually the skin, joints, nervous system, and the heart. This case report presents an 8-year-old boy who was admitted to the hospital because of progressive weakness in the extremities, meningeal signs, bilateral facial nerve paresis, and areflexia. The patient was diagnosed with GBS and Lyme disease; and symptoms of the patient gradually disappeared following the treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and ceftriaxone. Although the diagnosis of GBS was definite, the diagnosis of Lyme disease was complicated by a variety of circumstances which we analyse in this article. We also discuss a possible connection between the two pathologies.

Main assumptions of NPI changes are differentiated and described.After summarizing various approaches, the definition of NPT was formulated and assumptions determining the changes in NPT were identified and described. Using a predictive method based on the analysis of the impact of IT, biotechnology and medical innovations on neurology, possible future changes in NPT were discussed.Results and discussion. The results of the investigation and discussions are introduced in five paragraphs.In the first paragraph The concept of NPI, peculiarities of its formation and changes, the definition of NPI is presented and effect of NPI changes on neurologist’s sense of well-being is elucidated.In the second paragraph Development of technologies and enlargement of neurologist’s possibilities, the impact of computation and robotics on NPI changes is considered and neurologists’ preparedness to meet new challenges is examined.The third paragraph The influence of medical innovations on NPI changes explains the necessity to obtain some new competences arising from epidemic growth of chronic diseases which, in turn, increase the number of subspecialties.The fourth paragraph The impact of overlap of neurology with adjacent professions on NPI changes discloses situations where neurologists in some aspects overlap with adjacent professions and may solve some therapeutic problems that are intensively emerging in some domains of contemporary social life, such as psychedelic therapy, creation of global happiness, and enhancing student achievement.In the fifth paragraph Prognostic insights of neurology and possible changes in NPI, some discussions on possible future changes in NPI are considered.Conclusions. Key findings and essential features of the discussion are summarized in the conclusion paragraph. NPI peculiarities and factors which cause their changes are highlighted as well as it is shown how NPI content understanding may strengthen neurologist’s professional self-perception.
Risk factors and treatment approaches to seasonal affective disorder: a review
Authors: Jurgaitytė V. , Khawaja N. , Dijokas J. , Rimkevičiūtė P.
Published: June 2020

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression which emerges seasonally, in winter or summer. This condition affects 1-2% of the general population; however, in regions more than 30 degrees of the equator, a higher proportion (10-20%) of people suffer from SAD. There is a milder form of SAD, subsyndromal SAD (S-SAD), which is known as “winter blues”. Besides environmental risk factors, such as day length and sunlight exposure, genetics and neurochemical changes in the brain also play a role in SAD patients showing that this disorder is heterogeneous. Imbalances in the circadian rhythm and dysregulation of neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine) have been identified as risk factors for symptomatic SAD. SAD symptoms can be diminished by bright light therapy, regulating patients’ circadian rhythms, and cognitive-behavioural therapy, which more indirectly focuses on alleviating depressive symptoms by allowing patients to actively manage how they perceive stress and anxiety. The paper compares effectiveness and safety of treatment methods against SAD.

Published: June 2020

Introduction. Electroneuromyography (ENMG) is a useful diagnostic test for the evaluation of neuromuscular disorders. The procedure is considered unpleasant or even painful due to the use of electrical stimuli and needle electrodes. In this study, we investigated the influence of demographic factors on the perception of pain during ENMG examination as well as the connection between the perception of pain and the extent of the examination, the presence of chronic pain, its characteristics, and levels of anxiety and depression in patients.Methods. 400 patients who were referred to ENMG examination participated in a questionnaire survey after the procedure. The questionnaire included rating of pain intensity experienced during ENMG procedure using numerical rating scale (NRS), basic demographic information, information about the extent of the examination, questions about previously experienced pain, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Results. The mean of NRS score was 3.76±2.6. There was a negative correlation between pain intensity during ENMG and education level (r=-0.12, p=0.03). There was a significant (p=0.011) correlation between the intensity of pain and the extent of ENMG examination. The procedure was more painful for the patients who experienced continuous pain before the procedure (p=0.002), and the intensity correlated with qualitative aspects of pain. There was a significant correlation between pain intensity during the examination and the emotional state of the patient (p<0.001).Conclusions. The only correlation between pain intensity and demographic factors was a negative correlation with education level. There was a significant correlation between experienced pain before the procedure and the intensity of pain during the examination. There was a significant correlation between the intensity of pain during the examination and levels of anxiety and depression.
Breast cancer metastases in central nervous system. Case report and review of literature
Authors: Radzevičiūtė I. , Pačinskaitė R. , Gleiznienė R.
Published: June 2020

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. The most common first site of distant spread is bone, followed by lung, brain, and liver. Symptoms of meta- static breast cancer can vary greatly depending on the location of the metastases. Symptoms of metastases of breast cancer in the brain, depending on location, can include nausea, headache, hemiparesis, blurred vision, seizures, slurred speech, impaired thinking, dizziness. Breast carcinoma tends to metastasize to the cerebellum and the basal ganglia. A very aggressive intraventricular, leptomeningeal spread to the central nervous system is also possible; however, it is a rare localization of breast cancer metastasis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive diagnostic tool for the detection of brain metastases. Treatment approaches of brain metastases include surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). In this article we present a case of a 34-year-old woman with a clinical diagnosis of breast cancer and metastases to the central nervous system. The patient received treatment at the stereotactic radiosurgery centre Sigulda in Latvia; during the course of the disease, intraventricular metastatic spread to the brain was diagnosed. In addition, the article also reviews the literature on the clinical presentation of intracerebral breast cancer metastases, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations.
Critical Assessment of Technological Development: What Can Bibliometrics Reveal?
Authors: Soehartono Alana M. , Khor Khiam Aik
Published: June 2020

Scientific discoveries and innovations have served as the backbone for technological advancements, which can impart societal benefits and address critical needs in areas such as public health. For example, the modern hip implant has proven to be an effective treatment for joint-related diseases like arthritis. In the procedure, artificial joints are used to replace damaged or worn joints which can restore mobility and relieve concomitant pains. Today, many materials and implant parameters such as geometry, shape, and angle are available to surgeons, which can support a positive treatment outcome. Considering the significance, it is of interest to retroactively reflect on the technological evolutionary pathways. Technological assessment is not new, but evaluating the process is necessary for optimizing best-case outcomes. Technological developments follow the cycle of of need and solution, leading to both radical and incremental advancements.In this work, we examine the research patterns and contributions that have shaped the technical discourse, using a commonplace hip implant material as an illustrative study from the scholarly perspective. In the span of 5 decades, output for polyethylene-related works grew from 2 in the late 1970s, to 2,123 publications in the 2010s, totaling over 4,600 publications with contributions from surgeons, biologists, engineers, physicists, and chemists. We disentangle components within the ecosystem and discuss the validity of insights from a bibliometric perspective. The reconciliation of technological developments to the impact is dependent on the aims of the assessment. Whilst it is found that bibliometrics analysis could help to disambiguate the technological innovations involving materials systems, advanced computer modeling, and detailed clinical trials, there are socioeconomic aspects, such as health systems, that are not easily validated. To maintain a greater degree of neutrality, the assessment of both public and private will benefit the interpretation of a multi-level system.

Використання безпілотних літальних апаратів під час виконання різнорідних завдань за призначенням вимагає розроблення додаткових механізмів захисту їх від впливу радіоелектронних перешкод, погодних умов та підвищення безпеки польотів в зоні виконання завдань. Одним з підходів зменшення вразливості безпілотного літального апарату є використання інерційних засобів навігації. Додатково до них можуть використовуватися методи обробки зображення, що отримуються підсистемою оптичного орієнтування, для оцінки параметрів руху та виробки управляючих впливів. У статті запропоновано метод навігації безпілотного літального апарату для оцінювання динамічних параметрів руху за даними, отриманими оптичною підсистемою. У даній роботі запропоновано адаптивний метод визначення параметрів вектору руху безпілотного літального апарату, що реалізує процедуру адаптивної зміни розміру і стратегію пошуку вектору руху, що залежить від структури блоку зображення та його властивостей. Проведено аналіз існуючих методів оцінки параметрів вектору руху на основі обробки оптичних даних. Проведено формальний опис оптичного потоку та визначено процедуру його отримання. Визначено склад алгоритмів для обробки оптичного потоку. Обґрунтовано вибір блокового алгоритму оцінки руху. Блокові алгоритми є вигідним компромісом по співвідношенню обчислювальної складності та необхідної точності знайдених векторів, що характеризують рух безпілотного літального апарату. Комбінування прийомів та алгоритмів різної категорії в рамках класу блокових методів дозволяє побудувати адаптивні алгоритми оцінки руху, що володіють заданими властивостями і можуть бути реалізовані апаратно. Розглянуті методи обробки зображення можуть застосовуватися як ще один додатковий засіб автономної корекції інерційних навігаційних систем в додаток до супутникових навігаційних систем. Такий підхід дозволяє ефективно протидіяти джерелам безпеки й протидії та підвищувати ефективність використання та зменшення економічних витрат на експлуатацію безпілотних літальних апаратів.

Ekonomik büyüme,
makroekonomide bir ülkenin performansını gösteren en önemli göstergelerden
biriyken eğitim insanların yaşamında ki en önemli unsurlardan birisidir.
Eğitim, bireyin niteliksel yapısında sağladığı değişim ve gelişim ile içinde
bulunduğu toplumun sosyal, politik, kültürel ve ekonomik açıdan dönüşümüne
katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bununla beraber eğitim, her ülkenin gelişmesine,
refahına, ekonomik büyümesine ve toplumsal kalkınmışlık düzeyine katkıda
bulunan en önemli etkenlerden biridir. Bu nedenle eğitime yapılan harcamalar
büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bilindiği üzere, İsveç Norveç ve Danimarka’nın refah
düzeyleri oldukça yüksek ve eğitim sistemi oldukça gelişmiştir. Bu bağlamda, bu
çalışmada amaç, İsveç, Norveç ve Danimarka için eğitim harcamaları ile ekonomik
büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi teorik ve ampirik düzeyde irdelemektir. Bundan
dolayı, 1990-2014 yıllarına ait veriler kullanılarak öncelikle birim kök testi
yapılmış, daha sonra panel VAR ve Granger nedensellik analizleri uygulanmıştır.
Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, eğitim harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında anlamlı
bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Granger nedensellik analizinin bulgularına göre ise eğitim
harcamalarından ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi saptanmıştır.
MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL? NARCISSISTIC LEADERS IN ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR MAJOR EFFECTS ON EMPLOYEE WORK BEHAVIORS
Authors: BİÇER Can
Published: June 2020

The destructive aspects of leadership and how dysfunctional leaders can jeopardize an organization’s culture and values have been a trend topic in business management recently. The personality traits that are associated with leader failure mainly come with the Dark Triad traits: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Narcissism covers some attitudes and behaviors such as an admiration for oneself, self-love, extreme selfishness, arrogance, grandiosity and superiority upon others. As narcissism is described as one of the undesired personality traits, unhealthy conditions and destructive consequences can easily be occurred when the narcissistic leaders get authorization and come into action in organizations. It’s clear that narcissistic leaders are only interested in him/herself and they usually think that the world is revolving on the axis of “self” and without their leadership, the organization cannot reach its full potential and disappear in the end. In this conceptual paper, narcissism and narcissistic leaders will be identified and their tactics will be revealed in detail. Then, the common attitudes and behaviors they engage in and reflect others will be outlined and in the conclusion section, the precautions that can be taken to prevent form narcissistic leaders and the ways to reduce their negative effects on employee work behaviors in organizations will be listed and recommendations will be made thoroughly

Published: June 2020

Avrupa Birliği, 2018 demografik verilerine göre 28 üye devlete sahip olan ve 512.379.225 nüfuslu uluslararası bir kuruluştur. Birliğin nüfusu genel olarak yıllar içerisinde artmıştır. Ancak yeni sosyolojik araştırmalar, Avrupa Birliği’nin demografik bir dönüşüm problemiyle karşı karşıya kalacağını göstermektedir. Avrupa kıtasının nüfus yapısının olumsuz yönde değişmeye başladığı anlaşılmaktadır. Özellikle Batı Avrupa’nın dünyanın en yaşlı nüfusa sahip bölgelerinden biri olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu makale, AB'nin 1960'dan 2100'e kadarki demografik değişimini; nüfus, doğurganlık, beklenen yaşam süresi ve gelecek projeksiyonları gibi bazı önemli faktörler açısından analiz edecektir. Bu sorunun çözümü için de bazı öneriler değerlendirilecektir.
PAUL MAAR’IN SEÇİLMİŞ ESERLERİNDE GÖÇ, ÖZ VE YABANCI KAVRAMLARI ADI ALTINDA TÜRK VE ŞARK İZLERİ
Authors: ÇÖLTÜ İlker
Published: June 2020

Masal, fabl, özlü söz, şarkı, resimli hikaye gibi birçok sözlü veya yazılı metinleri içerisinde barındıran çocuk ve gençlik yazını, güncel yaşamın gerçekliklerinden örnekler vererek gençlerin bireysel ilgilerini çekmektedir. Çocuk ve gençlik yazınında sözlü ve yazılı metinlerin kullanımı bireyin okuma, yazma ve dilsel becerilerin gelişimine katkı sağlar. Çocukların dil becerilerini geliştirmenin yanı sıra gençlerin duygusal açıdan sağlıklı birer birey olarak gelişimlerini de hedefleyen çocuk ve gençlik yazını aynı zamanda farklı ulusların arasında kültürler arası köprüler kurarak olası ön yargıların ortadan kaldırılmasına da yardımcı olmaya çalışır. Genç bireylerin duygusal ve fiziksel gelişimi esnasında kendi kültürlerinin haricinde karşı kültürü yeterince tanımamaları sonucu gerçekleşebilecek olan kendini beğenmişlik, kibir gibi duygular istenmedik sonuçlar doğurabilir. Karşı kültürü öğrenebilme, o kültürdeki insanları birçok açıdan özümseyebilme, öz ve yabancı kavramları arasındaki farkın en aza indirilmesinde de çocuk ve gençlik yazınının etkisi yadsınamayacak kadar çoktur. Bu bağlamda Alman çocuk ve gençlik yazını yazarı olan Paul Maar’ın seçilmiş eserleri arasında bulunan “Lippels Traum” ve “Neben mir ist noch Platz” adlı iki farklı yapıtta öz ve yabancının nasıl algılandığı, mülteci ve göç izlekleri, Türk ve şark izleri çerçevesinde irdelenecektir.
