Teorias do constitucionalismo e da legitimidade democrática no contexto pós-nacional
Authors: Pedroso Flores Maurício
Published: April 2024

Regimes jurídicos e instâncias decisórias situados para além das fronteiras dos Estados nacionais têm sido cada vez mais responsáveis pela produção do direito. Esse contexto pós-nacional suscita importantes discussões teóricas sobre que tipo de legitimidade pode ser alcançada por um direito que não é nem estatal e nem internacional público. Partindo da ideia de que há um importante legado jurídico e político inscrito na modernidade, diversos teóricos têm procurado compreender as novas dinâmicas transnacionais em termos de democracia e constitucionalismo. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar alguns dos esforços teóricos que buscam readequar esses conceitos à nova realidade do direito transnacional. Na primeira parte, traça um breve panorama sobre o atual cenário de multinormatividade experimentado com mais vigor nas últimas décadas. A segunda e a terceira parte procuram apresentar algumas das teorias presentes no debate sobre legitimidade democrática e constitucionalismo transnacional, respectivamente. Por fim, a última parte lança algumas observações sobre as dificuldades – mas também a importância – de se conciliar os dois conceitos.
Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond: Assessing Authenticity in You Only Live Twice
Authors: Miller Adam
Published: April 2024

You Only Live Twice (1967) saw James Bond team up with the Japanese Secret Service to navigate the choppy waters of Cold War tensions between the USA and Russia, both of which had been pitted against each other by a nefarious criminal mastermind. Bond embraces Japanese culture, to the point of taking not only a Japanese wife, but a Japanese identity. This article will examine the authenticity of the depiction of 1960's Japan, from customs and manners, to the actual Cold War tensions that were bubbling under the surface of contemporary Japan, which would result in the Japanese university protests the following year.

Badung Regency is one of the largest contributors to regional economic income, namely in the world of tourism, especially the South Badung area which is famous for its many beach tourism objects which attract many foreign and local tourists. Availability of parking spaces, of course, must have good parking services in order to optimally utilize the available parking space capacity. This research focuses on planning the need for parking space and parking revenue for two-wheeled vehicles and four-wheeled vehicles in the Kelan Beach tourist area, because parking is one of the supports for tourism so that visitors can feel comfortable and can realize an adequate parking pattern. The planned land area for parking two and four-wheeled vehicles at Kelan Beach is 2097.30 m² in total. The survey method used is the cordon count and patrol method. Characteristics of parking for two-wheeled vehicles include the highest volume, namely 461, accumulation of 141 vehicles, duration of 1.63 hours, capacity of 173, turnover rate of 0.18, index of 0.68 less than (<) 1.00, which means the need for parking is below capacity/sufficient, and four-wheeled characteristics include volume maximum of 163, accumulation of 33 vehicles, duration of 1.48 hours, capacity of 49, turnover rate of 0.23, index of 0.57 less than (<) 1.00 which means parking needs are below capacity and do not need expansion. The parking space requirements for two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles are 63 and 20 slots respectively. The parking layout at Kelan Beach tourist destination adopts a 90° angle pattern for both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, with respective parking space dimensions of 0.75 m x 2.00 m and 2.50 m x 5.00 m.

Published: April 2024

The article examines the legal mechanism for protecting the medical confidentiality of individuals living with HIV. An analysis of national legislation in this context reveals the peculiarities of the legal regime governing the medical confidentiality of this category of individuals, including the confidentiality of testing and its results, registration and accounting of people living with HIV, as well as ensuring confidentiality in the provision of medical assistance related to HIV. The article explores legislatively established grounds for disclosing HIV diagnosis, emphasizing inconsistencies between the provisions of the «On Counteraction to the Spread of Diseases caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Legal and Social Protection of People Living with HIV» and the provisions of subordinate normative legal acts. Special attention is given to the analysis of discrepancies between the provisions of this law and the disclosure of HIV diagnosis by military medical commissions. In light of the resolution of the case «M.K. v. Ukraine» by the European Court of Human Rights, inconsistencies between a subordinate act and a higher legal act regarding the disclosure of information about individuals with HIV are noted. The article also includes specific proposals for improving legislation in this area, taking into account the aforementioned discrepancies and recommendations of the European Court of Human Rights.
Editors’ Introduction to the Journal

Published: April 2024

We, SKRIB: Critical Studies in Writing Programs and Pedagogy co-editors, and the editorial board are pleased to provide a space for multilingual, international writing scholars and practitioners. As we wrote on the founding of the journal, our hope for SKRIB is to facilitate “intercultural dialogue around the development of writing programmes, writing centres, and writing pedagogy in post-secondary institutions of higher learning around the world.” As a forum for intercultural discourse, SKRIB draws attention to the ways in which the writing at the core of our work is not neutral, but rather deeply personal, and it resides in an inherently politicized space. Our work is always necessarily caught up in globalization processes and global contestations of power between nation states, ideologies, cultures, communities, and languages. SKRIB invites scholars to centre this conception of writing as inherently political in the ways they critically reflect on their writing programs, pedagogies, and initiatives, and, especially, in how they contribute to the development of writing studies; decolonization, equity, inclusion, and diversity are fundamental responsibilities of writing teachers, scholars, and administrators.

Authors: Santos Rodrigo Souza , Bezerra Lima Élison Fabrício
Published: April 2024

The objective of this work was to establish the first record of Caliothrips phaseoli (Hood, 1912) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae); in forage peanut accessions in the state of Acre, Brazil. The specimens were collected directly from the leaves of infested plants grown in pots and under greenhouse conditions, preserved in 70 % ethyl alcohol, and mounted on slides to later be observed under a microscope. Caliothrips phaseoli is a polyphagous species considered an important pest in bean and soybean crops in Brazil. The insect feeds on forage peanuts causes chlorosis on the leaves and delays the development of infested plants, although no mortality was verified.
LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF OIL STRIPPING FROM CORE PORE SPACES BY SURFACTANT SPONTANEOUS IMBIBITION PROCESSES AT HIGH TEMPERATURE
Authors: Maurich David
Published: April 2024

Large amounts of oil are still trapped in the microscopic pore spaces of the rock during the primary and secondary recovery processes as a result of competition between the viscous forces and the capillary forces that arise from the interfacial tension (IFT) between the oil and water phases which causes the injected water to pass through the residual oils.
To recover the remaining oils, the capillary pressure between the fluids must be significantly lowered by reducing the IFTs with surfactant. The selection of the best surfactant that is suitable for reservoir fluids and rocks in harsh reservoir conditions through laboratory studies is critical before conducting a field surfactant injection. Compatibility of surfactant with reservoir conditions such as reservoir temperature, high formation water salinity and rock absorption of surfactant molecules is a major challenge in the field surfactant injection. The best surfactant should be compatible with reservoir fluids and rocks and capable of increasing the efficiency of microscopic displacement and oil recovery factor.
This investigation was aimed to provide valuable information about the recovery processes of oil stripping in microscopic pore spaces of core samples by spontaneous imbibition of surfactant molecules under high reservoir temperature conditions. The spontaneous imbibition processes were conducted in Amott imbibition cells. The process of the fluids interactions and oil recovery was observed and also recorded for further analysis and calculations. The results showed that non-ionic surfactants were more stable and performed better capability in stripping and recovering oil from core samples at high reservoir temperature.

Authors: Irmaya Aisyah , Hidayat Muh Iqbal Hidayat , Yunita Lia Yunita
Published: April 2024

The inability of a reservoir to pass large amounts of fluid can be caused by very low permeability. Objective: This research aims to increase well productivity in wells that have low permeability. Based on reservoir data, the permeability in the IQ well is tight permeability, namely 0.153 mD, so that fluid in the reservoir cannot flow into the well due to the low permeability of the formation. The low permeability of the formation resulted in a low production rate of 39 BLPD. Methodology and results: in this research a stimulation acidizing method was used but this method was less than optimal (seen from the absence of a pressure drop after acid was injected at a high flow rate), so a hydraulic fracturing method was carried out on the IQ well to increase well productivity. The results of this research use the PKN (Perkins, Kern & Nordgren) fracturing model to obtain a fracture length greater than the fracture height. The fracturing fluid used as pad and slurry is YF120.HTD and the flush fracturing fluid used is 4% KCL Water. The proppant used is Carbolite 20/40. The resulting fracture geometry was 111 ft, fracture height 55 ft and fracture width 0.375 in. The conductivity value of the fracture formed was 18.1 mD with a fracture permeability of 320,177.383 mD/ft. The productivity index increased by 2,945 with a production rate of 440.14 BFPD. The total cash flow obtained was $4,858,624.11 and NVP $2,413,572.70. The capital issued will be returned within 21 days. Conclusion: based on the results above, the IQ well is suitable for hydraulic fracturing

Mirabelle 01 M01 well is a developed-stage well which has undergone drilling since February 2020 until May 3th 2020. It has 13000 ft depth and dominated with sandstone layers and some shaly inserts. This well is a high temperature (300 F), low permeability (0.5-5 mD) and porosity well which casues hydraulic fracturing should be done in this well. Aim: to carry out fluid fracturing design analysis by considering additional materials and economics. The perforation in this well divided into 2 perforations, first perforation has been 297 ft long and located at 12143 ft-12440 ft of well depth. The second perforation has been 45 ft in length and is located at 12,730 ft-12,685 ft of well depth. Payzone of this well is dominated by sandstone which is determined from the low gamma ray data. This Mirabelle 01 M01 well has high resistivity due to the resistivity log. Water mix used for the formation is a neutral water mix but still has several negative ions with corrosive properties such as SO42- and Cl-. Acid inhibitors are needed to remove these ions and prevent corrosive to be happened. Scale inhibitors are also needed to be added to prevent scale formation caused by Mg2+ ions which are contained in the mix water. From the average pressure calculation, the closure pressure was found about 7914.67 psi. The young modulus found from 8-10 Mpsi which indicates that the formation has high stiffness. The base of the fracturing fluid used is low price water-base fluid with guar gum polymer which can produce hydroxypropilguar (HPG) that don't ruin the formation even if the formation is in the high temperature. Borate ions are used to be crosslinker agents that binds metal ions with polymers. To split polymers molecules, sodium salt from the peroxydisulphate is used to be the gel breaker.

Pada proses pemboran, formasi yang sering kali ditembus adalah formasi yang porous, unconsolidated ataupun memiliki rekahan alami yang dapat menyebabkan terjadinya loss circulation. Jika loss circulation tidak ditangani maka tekanan hidrostatik lumpur tidak mampu mengimbangi tekanan formasi sehingga terjadi kick pada sumur bahkan blow out. Dampak lainnya yang mungkin terjadi adalah pencemaran lingkungan, waktu rig tidak beroperasi akan meningkat sehingga meningkatkan biaya pemboran.  Untuk mengatasi loss circulation tersebut, lumpur pemboran yang digunakan harus memiliki kandungan beberapa jenis komponen yang berfungsi menyumbat lubang terbuka di batuan. Lumpur pemboran biasanya memiliki komponen Lost Circulation Materials (LCM) yang umum digunakan dengan bahan dasar polimer.  Penelitian ini akan berfokus pemanfaatan serbuk kulit kopi dan pengaruhnya terhadap rheologi lumpur pemboran, yaitu densitas dan viskositas lumpur. Penelitian ini bersifat experimental study pada laboratorium, dengan membuat lumpur dasar dan menguji sifat dari lumpur dasar serta membandingkan sifat dari lumpur dasar yang telah ditambahkan serbuk kulit kopi.  Dari analisa data yang didapat, dapat disimpulkan pengaruh serbuk kulit kopi pada rheologi lumpur pemboran.

Published: April 2024

Background: Transitioning from theoretical studies to practical scenarios, particularly in the Emergency Department (ED), poses significant challenges for nursing students. These challenges include high time pressure, the complexity of cases, and the urgent nature of situations often encountered. The impact can lead to increased stress levels, a higher workload, and a potential lack of confidence in handling situations that require quick and accurate responses. This study investigated the initial adaptation process of these students, known as Ners, emphasising their environmental adjustment, interpersonal skill enhancement, professional development, and emotional coping strategies.

Method: This qualitative study engaged 25 nursing students in ED rotations from November 2023 to March 2024. It utilised detailed interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, employing thematic analysis to unearth key themes.

Results: Four central themes emerged: acclimatisation to the clinical environment, dynamics of relationships and interactions, skills and competencies enhancement, and coping with emotional and psychological challenges. Initially challenged, students gradually became accustomed to the ED's demands, enhancing their professional and social skills and developing effective stress management strategies.

Conclusion: The findings highlight the necessity for comprehensive preparation and ongoing support and suggest significant implications for improving nursing education and practices within the ED.

Objective: To investigate the influence of lifestyle on academic performance in basic cycle medical students. Methods: The study involved applying two instruments to 51 medical students to identify cognitive function and lifestyle habits, as well as the level of physical activity through an international questionnaire. Results: No direct correlations were found between cognitive function and physical activity. Significant correlations were identified between participants' age and average correct answers in the Dissertation Cognitive Assessment (DCA) (r=0.4, p=0.01), extracurricular study days and average correct answers in the DCA (r=0.4, p=0.006), out-of-class study hours and average correct answers in the DCA (r=0.4, p=0.006), and between hours of sleep and days of alcohol consumption in the month (r=-0.6, p=0.000). Conclusion: The findings suggest that older students and those who spend more time studying outside the classroom exhibit better academic performance. Furthermore, a lifestyle with higher frequency of alcohol consumption is associated with reduced hours of sleep. These elements are fundamental to understanding and improving learning strategies and well-being of medical students.

Dyotropic Rearrangement of an Iron–Aluminium Complex
Authors: Stadler Benedek , Gorgas Nikolaus , Elliot Stuart , Crimmin Mark
Published: April 2024

Ligand exchange processes at metal complexes underpin their reactivity and catalytic applications. While mechanisms of ligand exchange at single site complexes are well established, occurring through textbook associative, dissociative and interchange mechanisms, those involving heterometallic complexes are less well developed. Here we report the reactions of a well-defined Fe–Al hydride complex with exogeneous ligands (CO and CNR, R = Me, tBu, Xyl = 2,6-Me2C6H3). Based on DFT calculations we suggest that these reactions occur through a dyotropic rearrangement, this involves initial coordination of the exogeneous ligand at Al followed by migration to Fe, with simultaneous migration of a hydride ligand from Fe to Al. Such processes are rare for heterometallic complexes. We study the bonding and mechanism of the dyotropic rearrangement through in-depth computational analysis (NBO, IBOs, CLMO analysis, QTAIM, NCIplot, IMGH), shedding new light on how the electronic structure of the heterometallic core responds to the migration of ligands between metal sites. The dyotropic rearrangement fundamentally changes the nature of the hydride ligands, exposing new nucleophilic reactivity as evidenced by insertion reactions with CO2, isocyanates, as well as isocyanides.
LUNAR: Automated Input Generation and Analysis for Reactive LAMMPS Simulations
Authors: Kemppainen Josh , Gissinger Jacob , Gowtham S. , Odegard Gregory
Published: April 2024

Generating molecular models for the LAMMPS molecular dynamics (MD) simulation software package is a difficult task and is an impediment to more widespread and efficient use of MD in materials design and development. Fixed-bond force fields generally require manual assignment of atom types, bonded interactions, charges, and simulation domain sizes. A new LAMMPS pre- and post-processing toolkit (LUNAR) is presented that efficiently builds molecular systems for LAMMPS. LUNAR automatically assigns atom types, generates bonded interactions, assigns charges and provides initial configuration methods to generate large molecular systems. LUNAR can also incorporate chemical reactivity into simulations using fixed-bond force fields by facilitating the use of the REACTER protocol. Additionally, LUNAR provides post-processing for free volume calculations, cure characterization calculations, and property predictions from LAMMPS thermodynamic outputs. LUNAR has been validated via building and simulation of pure epoxy and cyanate ester polymer systems with comparison of the corresponding predicted structures and properties to benchmark values, including experimental results from the literature. LUNAR provides the tools for the computationally-driven development of next-generation composite materials in the Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) and Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) frameworks.

Published: April 2024

BaNiO3 and other Ba-Ni-O related phases are among the most active non-precious electrocatalysts towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in basic media. In this work, we compare the electrocatalytic activities of the hexagonal perovskite BaNiO3 prepared by three different synthesis methods: sol-gel, metal nitrate decomposition and molten salts. We reveal by a combination of atomic-scale imaging and spectroscopic techniques how the choice of the synthesis method strongly influences the chemical, morphological and microstructural features of the products. Moreover, we demonstrate by Energy Electron Loss Spectroscopy and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy that previously reported electrocatalytic results concerning BaNiO3 prepared in molten salts are actually related to the presence of an unreported nickel hydroxide shell, which ultimately results in enhanced electrocatalytic activity. These results highlight the importance of acknowledging how the synthesis method strongly influences oxygen electrocatalysis performances and paves the way to further surface engineering.

Published: April 2024

We here developed high-performance anion exchange membranes (AEMs) by incorporating 9,9'-spirobifluorene as a three-dimensional branching agent, addressing the common trade-off between ion conductivity and dimensional/mechanical stability. By fine-tuning the ratio of terphenyl to biphenyl and the amount of the branching agent, we refined the AEM, achieving high conductivity (approximately 190 mS/cm at 80 °C in 1 M KOH) with decent dimensional/mechanical properties, comparable to the recently reported state-of-the-art membranes. Investigations using gas pycnometry and atomic force microscopy demonstrated that spirobifluorene enhances the fractional free volume around the membrane's backbone and more precisely modulates the separation between hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains, thus boosting both ion conductivity and mechanical stability. This membrane also displayed excellent chemical stability, with negligible degradation at 80 °C in 1 M KOH over 1000 h. With such a membrane, we achieved excellent cell performance, with a current density of 11.2 A/cm² at 80 °C, 2 V.
A paper-based device for on-farm colorimetric detection of soil macronutrients
Authors: Patel Princekumar , Toley Bhushan
Published: April 2024

Testing the quality of soil is essential for appropriate fertilizer use. However, soil testing is currently conducted in dedicated centralized facilities equipped with expensive analytical instruments, not easily accessible to many farmers in lower-income agrarian economies like India. In an attempt to address this gap, we present a prototype for the colorimetric detection and quantification of soil macronutrients – nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P). For this, we employ a technology previously developed in our laboratory called the barrier-free microfluidic paper analytical device. BF-PADs enable the simultaneous colorimetric detection of multiple analytes without having to pattern paper with hydrophobic barriers for the creation of flow channels. We demonstrate multiplex colorimetric detection of ammonium and nitrate ions for the detection of N, and phosphate ions for the detection of P. The linear quantifiable ranges for ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate ions dissolved in solution were 20-100 mg/L, 20-90 mg/L, and 4-80 mg/L, respectively, with limits of detection of 18 mg/L, 12 mg/L, and 3 mg/L, respectively, which are within the relevant ranges for soil testing. These single-use low-cost paper-based devices promise to increase access to soil testing and reduce dependency on laboratory-based soil testing.

By conducting a comprehensive analysis of applied strategies, economic impacts, and potential policy measures, this study aims to provide information on the complex mechanism of tax evasion. The article discusses various strategies that companies use in aggressive tax planning. These strategies cover offshore tax havens, transfer pricing manipulation, royalty movement, "fine capitalization" and tax deferral, each of which uses legal nuances to minimize tax liabilities. The study examines the economic consequences of aggressive tax planning, focusing on significant revenue losses for governments around the world. Eroding tax revenues through aggressive tax planning reduces states ' ability to finance basic public services, contributing to budget deficits and economic instability. In addition, it creates material inequality, contributes to social unrest, and jeopardizes the nation's ability to solve national security problems. By analyzing these economic implications, this study highlights the urgency of considering aggressive tax planning as a fiscal and national security issue.

Ukraine, as a country, is in the process of constant development and transformation, facing a number of important social, economic and security challenges. One of these challenges is ensuring equal opportunities and accessing the social resources for all sections of society. In this context, the concept of social inclusion comes to the fore to become an important tool for promoting the sustainable development of cities and the entire country. Social inclusion involves the creation of conditions under which every person, regardless of their origin, gender, age, physical condition or other personal characteristics, can take an active part in all spheres of society. The implementation of this approach to the development of cities is especially relevant in modern Ukraine, where there are numerous challenges in the form of lack of access to infrastructure, medical care, housing and other services for certain social groups. The implementation of the concept of social inclusion is now widely recognized as important and not just good practice. The recent impact of the global pandemic, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the Russian-Ukrainian war have further emphasized the need to implement the concept of social inclusion in the development of Ukrainian cities. Promoting the development of social inclusion in cities requires a deep understanding of its essence, the factors affecting it, and the mechanisms of public administration involved. The work determined that the theory and methodology of public management of the development of social inclusion in cities in the science of public administration is not sufficiently formed. The existing scientific works of foreign and domestic scientists testify to the existence of different approaches to public management of the development of social inclusion. The essence of social inclusion was highlighted as the creation of a fair and accessible urban environment where all people, regardless of their origin or characteristics, can actively participate in the social, economic and cultural aspects of urban life. Social inclusion emphasizes the need to overcome structural barriers, discrimination and inequality to promote inclusive cities and ensure the social security of the state.

Authors: Moroz Yu.
Published: April 2024

The study determines that Ukraine's national interests are in the sustainable development of the national economy, integration into the European economic area, the development of equal and mutually beneficial economic cooperation with other states. It is highlighted that an important place in the security sector is occupied by challenges related to russia's armed aggression. The content of such a category as "economic security" is analysed and existing approaches to its definition are considered. It is proposed that the essence of economic security can be presented as a state of security of self-sufficient development of the country, which guarantees sustainable growth of economic indicators, effective satisfaction of the needs of the population, protection of the interests of the state at the national and international levels through the successful implementation of financial, industrial, foreign economic, investment, innovation and macroeconomic security tasks. A systematic fragmentary analysis of the main indicators characterising the economic security of Ukraine is carried out. It is noted that the indicators of all the main components of economic security remain low, with high risks of large-scale destabilisation in the development of the economy in the long term. The author suggests factors for improving the level of economic security of Ukraine in the context of russia's military aggression and the reconstruction of Ukraine in the post-war period.
Problems of countering international terrorism as an object of scientific research: development of publication activity
Authors: Kuchmenko V. , Kovalchuk V.
Published: April 2024

Modern terrorism has become synonymous with fear and uncertainty about the future in recent years. In some socio-political circles, the question is no longer "if", but "when" the next terrorist attack will be committed. The authors, in their own scientific research, seek to compare the well-known terrorism of the late 20th century and the present. In the vast majority of publications, scientists consider terrorism as a tool for achieving goals, especially political ones. Given that there is no clearly defined actor (s) controlling modern terrorism, and the strategic goals are blurred, these actions can be classified as hybrid. The authors also try to point out the need to counter modern terrorism by analyzing the causes of its existence, rather than focusing on dealing with the consequences.
The article examines scientific publications devoted to the study of the experience of anti-terrorist activities of international and regional organizations, as well as the relevant state policy of a number of countries. Scientific research reveals current trends in the fight against terrorism, taking into account the growing level of terrorist threat, the formation of new challenges to national and international security.

Motivation: The law enforcement system of the state is a special component of ensuring the performance of state functions related to the security of society. The study of the law enforcement system is impossible without studying the interests intertwined in its tasks, principles and functions.
Aim: The purpose of the research was to study the key areas of the state policy implementation in law enforcement, ensuring public order and combating crime.
Results: Based on the results of the study, the development of the doctrine of state policy in the field of transformation of the law enforcement system in the context of the theory of interest is substantiated. The origins of interest in the public administration system are established and the order of their formalization in law is justified. The substantive characteristics of private, public and community interests are determined, which serve as the basis for forming a law enforcement system to ensure their satisfaction. A hypothesis has been put forward and proved that the satisfaction of interests through their formalization in law and protection in the law enforcement system depends on the current political regime in a particular country. The conducted analysis of dictatorial regimes testifies to the replacement of the concepts of public interest with the private interest of the dictator, which as a result leads to threats to society in a particular country. The manifestation of the law enforcement system in the context of the theory of interests is determined, including: 1) an instrument for the protection and settlement of all interests; 2) a system of intersection of agents' interests; 3) an instrument for narrowing private interests.

Bu makale 1821 Yunan İsyanı sonrası Rumları bir güvenlik tehdidi olarak gören Osmanlı Devleti’nin İstanbul’da Rumlara karşı aldığı güvenlik önlemlerini incelemektedir. Yunan İsyanı yıllarında hazırlanan mürûr tezkereleri ve kefalet defterleri devletin isyana karşı aldığı güvenlik önlemleri kapsamında bu çalışma için temel veri oluşturmaktadır. 1821 Yunan İsyanı’nın Osmanlı Devleti için oluşturduğu güvenlik sorunu tarihsel kaynakların sunduğu veriler ve disiplinler arası kavram ve kuramlar çerçevesinde analiz edilmektedir. Bu kapsamda “güvenlikleştirme teorisi” ve Michel Foucault’nun güvenlik ve “güvenlik teknikleri” kavramlarından yararlanılmaktadır. Makalede II. Mahmud döneminde Yunan İsyanı sırasında uygulanan kefalet ve men-i mürûr düzenlemelerinin devletin güvenlikleştirme politikalarının bir parçası olduğu ortaya konmaktadır. Bu makale aynı zamanda, güvenlik örneği üzerinden tarih araştırmalarında diğer sosyal bilim alanlarındaki kavram ve yaklaşımlardan nasıl istifade edilebileceğini göstererek tarih çalışmalarında disiplinler arası yaklaşımlara önem veren literatüre katkı sunmaya çalışmaktadır.
