Pasmore, Victor (1908–1998)
Authors: Fowler Alan
Published: February 2023

Born in Chesham, Surrey, in 1908, Victor Pasmore became one of the most influential British abstract artists after the Second World War, although prior to the war his paintings were representational and strongly influenced by post-impressionism. Then in 1937 he co-founded the Euston Road School of realist painting with Claude Rogers, Graham Bell, and William Coldstream. Soon after the war he began experimenting with abstraction and by 1950 had abandoned realism for abstract works involving geometric imagery. From 1951 to 1955, Pasmore was the central figure in the Constructionist group of abstract artists, most of whom went on to pursue lifetime careers in the broad constructivist tradition.
Valenzuela Llanos, Alberto (1869–1925)
Authors: Guevara Paz
Published: February 2023

Chilean painter Alberto Valenzuela Llanos is considered one of the four ‘Great Chilean Masters’, along with Pedro Lira, Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma, and Juan Francisco González, who in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century renewed the pictorial experience, departing from the academic visual canons towards a modern approach. An eminent landscape painter, Valenzuela Llanos captured the tonal qualities and luminosity of the Chilean rural scenes and the Andean Mountains, and during his stays in Paris, the banks of the Seine, painting his favourite moments outdoors at dawn or in the twilight. With his luminous colouring and loose brushwork, which intensified during his studies of Impressionism in Paris in 1901–6, Valenzuela Llanos reacted against the academic canons, rendering academic painting more modern through his personal style. A key transitional figure, Valenzuela Llanos was awarded and honoured by the art academies numerous times, and was likewise regarded as a pioneer of modern painting.
Valenzuela, Rosa Mena (1913–2004)
Authors: Avila Theresa
Published: February 2023

As a pioneer of Expressionism in El Salvador, Rosa Mena Valenzuela was responsible for some of the most radical transformations in Salvadoran art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Valenzuela began her own exploration of materials and form prior to her journey abroad in the 1960s, and hers were the earliest expressions in El Salvador of developing international trends and experiments. Valenzuela transgressed artistic traditions with her unique abstract and expressionistic style, as well as in her experimentation with diverse mediums and materials. She worked on an intimate scale and developed her own unique language for and approach to the two-dimensional plane where she painted, drew, and collaged various materials, such as paper, cardboard, fabric, industrial paint, aluminium, and cement. The spontaneous and energetic nature of her line simultaneously creates and erases both a sense of form and atmosphere. Line and colour are concomitant elements of her visual language; her images are often filled with vibrant colours, and at other times subdued, giving way to a narrative. Another important aspect of Valenzuela’s work is the effort to reveal if not highlight her process and materials, which can be interpreted as some of the more significant aspects of what makes her work unique to Salvadoran art.
A refined catalogue of focal mechanisms for the Intra‑Carpathian region of Romania: implications for the stress field and seismogenic features assessment

Published: February 2023

We present a refined and the most complete catalogue of the focal mechanisms for the Intra-Carpathian region of Romania. It contains the high-quality solutions computed for 1217 earthquakes recorded between 1909 and 2018. Primary data gathered from the original seismograms and seismic bulletins have been used to compute the source parameters and focal mechanisms solutions. The focal mechanisms have been obtained using the HASH method by the polarities and S/P amplitudes ratios inversion. Our catalogue provides data necessary for the investigation of the contemporary stress field at different scales with high spatial and temporal resolution. We determined the stress field characteristics through formal inversion of focal mechanisms and also computed the reactivation potential of the active fault systems using the Win‑Tensor program. The stress field is heterogeneous, with SHmax significantly deviating from the first-order stress field direction and also with strong local variations in the stress regime.
Data Layout from a Type-Theoretic Perspective
Authors: DeYoung Henry , Pfenning Frank
Published: February 2023

The specifics of data layout can be important for the efficiency of functional programs and interaction with external libraries. In this paper, we develop a type-theoretic approach to data layout that could be used as a typed intermediate language in a compiler or to give a programmer more control. Our starting point is a computational interpretation of the semi-axiomatic sequent calculus for intuitionistic logic that defines abstract notions of cells and addresses. We refine this semantics so addresses have more structure to reflect possible alternative layouts without fundamentally departing from intuitionistic logic. We then add recursive types and explore example programs and properties of the resulting language.

Markers (Indicators) of Minors’ Involvement in Far-Right Groups
Authors: Волков Д.Ю. , Кремлев М.В.
Published: February 2023

Социально-экономический кризис в Российской Федерации начала 90-х гг. прошлого столетия привел к резкому обнищанию значительной части населения, росту социального неравенства, притоку дешевой рабочей силы из стран, расположенных на постсоветском пространстве. Указанные обстоятельства послужили благодатной почвой для роста крайне правых идей. Последователи данной идеологии зачастую становятся субъектами совершения таких противоправных деяний, как хулиганство, побои, причинение вреда здоровью и убийство. Как и любое другое антисоциальное сообщество, они породили свою определенную субкультуру со всеми присущими ей элементами: образом жизни, внешними атрибутами, сленгом и т. д. Членами ультраправых группировок, как правило, становятся несовершеннолетние лица – наиболее внушаемые, нигилистически настроенные и инфантильные. Во избежание их вовлечения в данные противоправные течения, для осуществления профилактической работы необходимо знать маркеры, индикаторы, которые могут свидетельствовать о сочувствии или поддержке несовершеннолетними крайне правых идей.

The socio-economic crisis in the Russian Federation in the early 1990s led to a sharp impoverishment of a significant part of the population, an increase in social inequality, and an influx of cheap labor from countries located in the post-Soviet space. These circumstances have served as fertile ground for the growth of far-right ideas. Followers of this ideology often commit illegal acts, such as hooliganism, beatings, and injury to health and murder. Like any other antisocial community, they have their own specific subculture with all its inherent elements, such as lifestyle, external attributes, slang, etc. As a rule, minors join ultra-right groups, since they are the most suggestible, nihilistic and infantile. In order to avoid their involvement in these illegal currents, in order to carry out preventive work, it is necessary to know markers that may indicate minors’ sympathy or support for extreme right-wing ideas.
The Effect and Mechanism of Lithium Carbonate on Bipolar Disorder and its Immunological Contributions
Authors: Gallicchio Vincent S
Published: February 2023

Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder that affects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Common treatment options are cognitive, behavioral, and medicinal treatment, though medicinal treatment is shown to be most effective because the brain is shown to be “damaged.” This damage is evidence based on a significant reduction of gray matter in neural areas that enable and/or regulate bipolar-related symptoms. This is evident in immunological-related responses against the brain during a brain trauma or stroke, and similar clinical values are observed during episodes of psychosis, leading researchers to believe that drug treatment is beneficial to treat the misrepresented neurodegenerative disease. Lithium carbonate is a drug commonly used to treat bipolarism as it is proven to reduce the effects of mania and psychosis as well as serve to be prophylactic against episodes of depression. It is also shown to elevate levels of white blood cells through its influence on signaling pathways within the brain that encourage an increased granulocyte production. Though, as beneficial as it is to treat bipolar-related symptoms and potentially increase the immunological response within the body, its toxicity is quite dangerous in harmful amounts. Current research is now moving forward to continue the investigation of lithium on white blood cells.

Authors: C Garritano
Published: February 2023

Sebaceous gland carcinoma is a rare and aggressive tumor that accounts for less than 1% of all cutaneous malignancies. It is classified as intraocular and extraocular and is rarely found in the chest wall. Imaging tests such as Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance help to identify the location, size, and evaluation of the involvement of adjacent structures. The treatment is surgical excision, and diagnosis is confirmed postoperatively by the immunohistochemical analysis.

The research aimed to improve the level of sustainable performance in the economic units, especially the industrial ones. This is done by studying and analyzing the theoretical foundations and knowledge foundations for each of the input / output analysis and green technological innovation and evaluating the level of application of the Iraqi industrial economic units for them by choosing the Al-Zawraa General Company in Baghdad as a place for research. That company is one of the subsidiaries of the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals. An applied study was conducted on the company for the period (2020-2021). The extent of its use of green technology in its production and operational processes was evaluated by relying on sustainable performance indicators. The efficiency of natural and human resources, waste, air emissions, and water pollution were analyzed and diagnosed for solar photovoltaic energy systems, cost accounting by (IOA), and fault handling and sustainable performance improvement by (GTI). The research reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which was the suffering of the company under study from the lack of central government support for it and the failure to provide sufficient financial allocations for the application of green technology innovations. There are also no current or future visions for dealing with the waste and emissions caused by solar energy systems after the end of their lifespan. The application of (IOA) and (CTI) enables the economic unit in question to achieve many sustainable advantages, including: saving natural resources and improving the efficiency of their use, reducing costs, increasing market share and maximizing its profits, providing environmentally friendly products and services of high quality and efficiency, creating A supportive environment for creative ideas, supporting the process of sustainable decision-making, enhancing sustainable competitive advantages, contributing to preparing sustainable reports by diagnosing environmental, creative and other sustainable costs, and then improving its level of sustainable performance.

Degradasi lingkungan perkotaan digambarkan dari semakin wewadahnya penyakit-penyakit akibat kualitas lingkungan yang semakin memburuk bahkan sulit diatasi, sebagai akibat tidak adanya ruang bagi penampung buangan kegiatan manusia berupa limbah padat maupun limbah cair yang semakin menumpuk dan mengalir tidak terkendali yang menjadi wadah yang subur bagi media pertumbuhan penyakit. Berbagai kondisi lingkungan yang negatif tersebut memacu kejadian kerusakan lingkungan kota menjadi berantai dan kait-mengait. Pada kawasan pemukiman kota tepi air misalnya, masalah klasik adalah bencana banjir, pada kawasan pesisir terjadi kerusakan dan pencemaran pantai. Adanya ‘ROB’ atau genangan air laut ke arah darat, seperti teluk kendari misalnya, tentunya membawa kerusakan akibat pengaruh air asin, atau intruksi air laut yang men gisi kan tong-kantong air tanah (aquifer). Pada kota-kota di daerah lereng pegunungan terjadi tanah longsor dan juga banjir (lumpur) antara lain akibat kurang atau tidak adanya tanaman yang tidak bias mengikat atau menahan air hujan yang terakumulasi, terutama bila terjadi curah air hujan tinggi. Ruang terbuka hijau publik merupakan ruang terbuka hijau yang dimiliki dan dikelola oleh permerintah daerah kota yang digunakan untuk kepentingan masyarakat secara umum. Yang termasuk ruang terbuka hijau publik antara lain, adalah taman kota, taman pemakaman umum, dan jalur hijau sepanjang jalan, sungai, dan pantai. Yang termasuk ruang terbuka hijau privat, adalah antara lain adalah kebun atau halaman ruang/gedung milik masyarakat/swasta yang ditanami tumbuhan. Proporsi tiga puluh persen merupakan ukuran minimal untuk minimal untuk keseimbangan ekosistem kota, baik keseimbangan sistem hidrologi dan sistem mikroklimat, maupun sistem okologis lain, yang selanjutnya akan meningkatkan ketrsedian udara bersih yang diperlukan masyarakat, serta sekaligus dapat meningkatkan nilai estetika kota. Untuk lebih meningkatkan fungsi dan proporsi ruang terbuka hijau di kota, pemerintah, masyarakat, dan swasta didorong untuk menanaman tumbuhan di atas bangunan gedung miliknya. Proporsi ruang terbuka hijau publik seluas minimal dua puluh persen yang disediakan oleh pemerintah daerah kota dimaksudkan agar proporsi ruang terbuka hijau minimal dapat lebih dijamin pencapaiannya sehingga memungkinkan pemanfaatannya secara luas oleh masyarakat.

On the relative abundance and distribution of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Falkland Islands longline fishery
Authors: Yates Oliver , Brickle Paul
Published: February 2023

The relative abundance and distribution of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Falkland Islands Conservation Zone was investigated by the analyses of scientific observer records from longline fishing vessels between 2002 and 2004. Thematic maps were created of observed spatial and temporal fishing effort and whale sightings. These suggested that killer whales were restricted to the northeast of the zone, whereas sperm whales were present throughout the east along the 1,000m depth-contour. A likelihood ratio test showed sperm whales to be relatively more abundant in the north and south of the zone than in the middle region (p<0.01). Group size and distribution is discussed relative to monthly fishing effort and temporal analysis of sightings considered. 32.4% of observed stations had sperm whales present but no significant difference was found between catches with whales present and catches with no whales present (p=0.8743, t=0.1598, df=25).
A note on the acoustic assessment of bottlenose dolphin behaviour around fishing gears in the Asinara Island National Park, Italy
Authors: Lauriano G. , Bruno S.
Published: February 2023

Common bottlenose dolphins co-exist with artisanal fisheries in the Asinara Island National Park area (northwestern Sardinia, Italy) and are blamed for damage to some fisheries. To investigate this, two T-POD echolocation loggers were used between July 2003 and October 2004 to monitor the occurrence and behaviour of dolphins in the proximity of three different fishing gear types. With the support of local fishermen, the T-PODs were opportunistically deployed on trammel nets set for striped red mullet or for lobster and on bottom traps set to catch benthic fish species. Inter-click Intervals (ICI) and the Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) have been adopted as indicators of dolphins echolocation behaviour in the proximity of fishing gears (Leeney and Tregenza, 2006). PRF values were found to be consistently higher in proximity to trammel nets for striped red mullets compared to the other gears. Moreover, ICI values in the proximity of red mullet trammel nets were found to be statistically lower than those recorded both around trammel nets for lobster (p<0.01) and around traps (p<0.01). These findings suggest that feeding related activities by dolphins could be absent or take place at very low levels in the proximity of traps and, to a lesser extent, in the proximity of trammel nets set for lobster, but may occur more regularly around nets for striped red mullet. The results show that static acoustic monitoring can detect significant differences in dolphin echolocation behaviour around different fishing gears. The findings seem to be consistent with previous evidence of interactions between bottlenose dolphins and fishing gear types in the area.
Estimates of large whale abundance in Greenlandic waters from a ship-based survey in 2005
Authors: Heide-Jørgensen M. P. , Simon M. J. , Laidre K. L.
Published: February 2023

A ship-based line transect survey of large whales in East and West Greenland was conducted in September 2005. The survey platform primarily targeted capelin, Mallotus villosus, using acoustic methods and systematically covered the east and west coasts of Greenland from the coast to the shelf break (approximately 200m). The surveyed area comprised 81,000km2 in East Greenland and 225,000km2 in West Greenland. A total of 194 sightings of 13 cetacean species were obtained and standard line transect methods were used to derive abundance estimates of the four most commonly encountered large cetaceans. Fin whales, Balaenoptera physalus, were most abundant in East Greenland (3,214, 95% CI=980-10,547) with lower abundances estimated for West Greenland (1,980, 95% CI=913-4,296). Sei whales, B. borealis, were frequently encountered in the same areas as fin whales, but the estimated abundance in East Greenland (763, 95% CI=236- 2,465) was lower than in West Greenland (1,599, 95% CI=690-3,705). Humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, were found both in offshore and coastal areas of West Greenland (1,306, 95% CI=570-2,989) and in low numbers in East Greenland (347, 95% CI=48-2,515). Finally, common minke whale, B. acutorostrata, abundance was estimated at 1,848 (95% CI=197-17,348) for East Greenland and 4,479 (95% CI=1,760-11,394) for West Greenland. Inclusion of sightings of unidentified large baleen whales in West Greenland distributed in proportion to species and strata increased abundance estimates for fin, sei, and humpback whales to 2,824 (95% CI=1,346-5,925), 2,009 (95% CI=948-4,260), and 1,514 (95% CI=560-4,089), respectively. Despite good conditions and considerable effort, few cetaceans were observed in the northernmost strata in West Greenland. This suggests that the southbound fall migration of large whales from North West Greenland had already started by the time the survey was initiated. The abundance estimates presented in this study are negatively biased. No corrections were applied for whales missed by observers or for whales submerged during the passage of the survey platform, which should cause a particularly large negative bias, for the estimates of common minke whale abundance.
Abundance of Antarctic blue whales south of 60°S from three complete circumpolar sets of surveys
Authors: Branch T. A.
Published: February 2023

Sightings from the IDCR/SOWER austral summer surveys are analysed to provide abundance estimates for Antarctic (true) blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) south of 60°S. The IDCR/SOWER ship-borne surveys have completely circled the Antarctic three times: 1978/79-1983/84 (CPI); 1985/86-1990/91 (CPII); and 1991/92-2003/04 (CPIII), covering strata totalling 64.3%, 79.5% and 99.7% of the ocean surface between the pack ice and 60°S. During the surveys, blue whale sightings were rare but were recorded in all regions. Raw sighting rates (schools per 1,000 n.mile of primary search effort) were 0.44 (CPI), 0.67 (CPII) and 1.48 (CPIII). Respective circumpolar abundance estimates were 453 (CV=0.40), 559 (CV=0.47) and 2,280 (CV=0.36), with corresponding mid-years of 1981, 1988 and 1998. The CPIII estimates are the most complete and recent for this subspecies. When adjusted for unsurveyed regions in a simple way, the estimated circumpolar rate of increase is 8.2% (95% CI=1.6–14.8%) per year; nevertheless, Antarctic blue whales still number far less than the estimated 202,000-311,000 that existed before exploitation. These abundance estimates are negatively biased because some Antarctic blue whales may have been north of 60°S or in the pack ice at the time of the surveys and because a small number of blue whales on the trackline were probably missed. Furthermore, a small proportion of pygmy blue whales, probably less than 1%, may have been included in the sightings.
A note on observations on cetaceans in the western Indian sector of the Southern Ocean (20-56°S and 45-57°30’E), January to March 2004
Authors: Jayaksankar P. , Krishnan Anoop A. , Rajagopalan M. , Krishnakumar P. K.
Published: February 2023

A multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional pilot expedition was organised by the National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR) to the ice-free areas of the Western Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean onboard ORV Sagar Kanya during the austral summer of 2004 (January-March). This survey, conducted by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), is the first Indian attempt to survey for cetacean diversity in the Southern Ocean. The ultimate objective is to determine distribution, relative abundance, migration patterns and critical habitat parameters. 68% of a total of 13 sightings (22 individuals) were positively identified and species observed included Antarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis), fin whales (B. physalus), sei whales (B. borealis) and blue whales (B. musculus). The blue whales were not identified to the sub-species level. The highest concentration of cetaceans was between 35° and 37°S (along 45°E) and between 48° and 53°S (along 45°E). Relatively small numbers of cetaceans were observed during the present cruise, possibly because most of the cetacean sighting effort was made during inclement sea conditions. Results on the sighting characteristics and occurrence patterns of the cetaceans in relation to the region and hydrographical parameters are discussed briefly vis a vis published information from the Southern Ocean.
POLÍTICA DA GOVERNAÇÃO ECONOMIA E DE CONTROLE DE PODER

Published: February 2023

A economia moçambicana nos últimos anos caracteriza-se por um elevado nível de crescimento económico, dinamizado pela introdução de recursos externos em forma de investimento directo estrangeiro e Grandes Projectos. Este facto é acompanhado pela manutenção e reprodução do poder de um aparelho do Estado com altos níveis de corrupção e fraca capacidade institucional. Deste modo, a evolução das diferentes variáveis macroeconómicas nos últimos anos, continuou a aprofundar a estrutura característica de economias subdesenvolvidas com o surgimento de elites políticas, assemelhando-se a abordagem dos marxistas quando se referem ao aparelho repressivo do Estado. Nos últimos anos, a política económica foi gerida com objectivo de manter e reproduzir o controlo do poder pela classe dominante e de o instrumentalizar para a constituição de grupos económicos, reforçando o poder repressivo do Estado seja coercivamente ou recorrendo aos seus aparelhos ideológicos.
Phylogeny Study of 20 Selected Species of Zingiberaceae from Ex situ Collections in Peninsular Malaysia

Published: February 2023

Zingiberaceae is widely distributed in Malaysia, with 750 species and 31 genera. This family comprises a different number of subfamilies and genera according to different taxonomic classification methods — classical taxonomy: one subfamily and four tribes vs molecular taxonomy: four subfamilies and six tribes. However, the taxonomic classification of Zingiberaceae is still debated, especially the classical taxonomy. It is due to some Zingiberaceae species showing cryptic morphologies that make it difficult to classify them through classical taxonomy, which refers to the unique morphological characteristics of a tribe/species. Therefore, accurate taxonomic classification is required by using a molecular approach. In this study, 20 selected species of Zingiberaceae collected from the Agricultural Conservatory Park, Institute of Bioscience (IBS), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) were taxonomically classified using a molecular method with the help of three random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and three inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers until the tribe level. The combined RAPD and ISSR unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) phylogenetic tree was comparable to Zingiberaceae’s current molecular and classical taxonomy. The 20 selected species were grouped into three tribes (Alpinieae, Zingiberaceae, and Globbeae). This finding has contributed additional biological information to better manage the 20 Zingiberaceae species in the Agricultural Conservatory Park, IBS, UPM. Further studies are needed to explore the genetic diversities and properties of Zingiberaceae species.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a biological agent for insect pest management. Its toxins effectively control Spodoptera exigua Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae, but it is sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sunlight. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sericin extract from Samia ricini Boisduval (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) cocoons as a UV protectant for Bt after exposure under direct sunlight for 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks. After being exposed to sunlight, the Bt formulae were tested against 20 larvae of 24 hr old, the first larval instar in the laboratory. The larval mortality was observed 72 hr after the treatment. The results indicated that the mortality of S. exigua in Bt + sericin extract treatment was significantly different compared with Bt alone. For the first week, the mortality of S. exigua in exposed Bt + sericin exposed Bt alone, unexposed (Bt + sericin, and unexposed Bt alone were 80, 61, 85, and 97%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that Bt + sericin, after being exposed to sunlight, still showed the presence of spore and crystal protein comparable to the unexposed Bt. Based on the results, sericin provides good protection against sunlight and prevents the Bt spores from light-induced damage.

Children in distress cover vagrant children, poor children, seriously ill children, disabled children, etc. These children are deprived of protection and their survival situation is worrying. In recent years, there have been repeated vicious cases such as children starving to death at home and stray children smothered to death in garbage bins, reflecting that the current task of rescuing children in distress in China is very serious. Children are in a critical period of physical and mental development, and their healthy growth has a great impact on the construction of a harmonious society. As a member of the social collective, children in distress should feel the care and warmth from the society, let their hearts be nourished by love, cultivate their courage to face difficulties and setbacks, and motivate them to meet every day of life with a positive and optimistic attitude.

Produtos encontrados no comércio contendo formaldeído (substância classificada como cancerígena) com a indicação de alisar ou amaciar os cabelos não são regulamentados pela ANVISA. Caso ocorra a presença de formaldeído em produtos cosméticos, estes devem estar na formulação com a ação de conservante na concentração máxima de 0,2%. O presente estudo avaliou 73 amostras de diferentes grupos de produtos capilares com o propósito de verificar possíveis desvios da qualidade quanto à identificação, quantificação de formaldeído e aspectos de rotulagem. Das 73 amostras analisadas 57,5% (42) foram consideradas satisfatórias e 42,5% (31) foram consideradas insatisfatórias. Dentre estas, 11 amostras (15,0%) apresentavam teor de formaldeído acima do limite permitido de 0,2% (0,81% a 8,76%). Algumas amostras apresentaram teor de formaldeído abaixo de 0,2%, no entanto, não constava na rotulagem e nem na fórmula que o produto continha formol, exigido para aquelas com teor acima de 0,05%. Embora tenha aumentado o alerta e fiscalização nos últimos anos frente à presença de formaldeído em produtos capilares, ainda é possível encontrar no mercado produtos com concentrações de formaldeído em níveis elevados, permitindo que consumidores e profissionais de saúde fiquem sujeitos aos riscos causados. Ainda existe a necessidade de uma maior vigilância acerca dos produtos cosméticos principalmente os que apresentam o apelo de alisar, amaciar e reduzir volume.
KADINA YÖNELİK ŞİDDETİN TELEVİZYON DİZİLERİNDE SUNUMU: ‘YALI ÇAPKINI’ DİZİSİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Yağlıcı Mehpare
Published: February 2023

Bu çalışmanın konusu Star TV’de yayınlanan ‘Yalı Çapkını’ dizisinin birinci bölümünde kadına yönelik şiddetin sunumunun göstergebilimsel analizidir. Geleneksel medyanın bir mecrası olan televizyonun önemi yeni medyanın ortaya çıkmasıyla göreceli olarak azalmış olsa da sosyalleşme sürecindeki önemini halen korumaktadır. Türkiye’de ulusal kanallarda prime time kuşağında yayınlanan dizilerde kadına yönelik şiddetin yoğun olarak yer aldığı görülmektedir. Kadına yönelik şiddet hem kurmaca hem de gerçek hayat hikayelerinde esinlenilerek senaryolaştırılan dizilerin olay örgüsü içinde dizi karakteri üzerinden inşa edilirken; ataerkil yapı içinde toplumsal geleneklerle ilişkilendirerek, çarpıcı, sansasyonel unsurlarla harmanlanarak sunulabilmektedir. Çünkü dizi yapım ekibi kadına yönelik şiddeti, birinci bölümde izleyicinin dikkatini çekmek, diğer bölümlerde ise izlenme oranlarını artırmak amacıyla bir araç olarak kullanabilmektedir. Bu kapsamda 23 Eylül 2022 tarihinde Star TV’de yayınlanmaya başlayan, ‘Yalı Çapkını’ dizisinin birinci bölümünde yer alan kadına yönelik şiddet sahneleri şiddetin amacı, türü, uygulayan karakter üzerinden göstergebilimsel yöntemle analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda dizide erkek şiddetinde olduğu gibi kadının kadına uyguladığı şiddetin de sansasyonel bir şekilde verildiği görülmektedir. Kadına yönelik şiddetin sansasyonel sunumu gelenek üzerinden inşa edilmektedir. Bu süreçte gelenekte olmayan şiddet öğeleri geleneğin bir parçası olarak gösterilmektedir. Böylece gelenekler dizide kadına yönelik şiddetin meşrulaştırma mekanizması olarak ön plana çıkarılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla da kadına yönelik şiddetin reyting kaygısıyla dizilerde giderek daha yoğun ve etkin bir şekilde kullanıldığını, bu durumun şiddetin normalleştirilmesi ve yaygınlaşmasına zemin hazırladığını söylemek mümkündür.

Alaaddin Hill is a mound that yields finds from the Bronze Age (450–2000 BC). Tepe is the inner castle settlement of the Anatolian Seljuk State and is one of the important natural and archaeological sites located in the center of Konya City today. The mound contains all the settlement levels from the Bronze Age to the end of the Ottoman Period. As a result of the archaeological excavations carried out in 1941, important findings were revealed in the mound. Alaaddin Hill Natural and Archaeological Site, Alaaddin Mosque-i, II Kılıçarslan Tomb and II Kılıçarslan Mansion symbolize the inner castle of Medieval Konya. The 2nd Kılıçarslan Mansion archaeological excavation was carried out with the support of Konya Metropolitan Municipality. As a result of the archaeological excavations on the mound on which the mansion sits, the wall extending in the east-west direction and surrounding the palace ruins was revealed to the west of the mansion. Archeogeophysical studies were carried out in order to fully reveal the wall surrounding the palace ruins, on the east of the 2nd Kılıçarslan Palace on Alaaddin Hill, the state of the western façade of the mansion, the continuation of the inner wall ruins passing in front of the mansion, to the east, and to clarify the integrity of the mansion and the Seljuk palace. Archeogeophysical studies were carried out in order to clarify the integrity of the mansion and the Seljuk palace. With the interpretation of the georadar (GPR) method used in archaeogeophysical studies, the anomalies of the inner city wall remains, which give regular geometric forms, were visualized in two and three dimensions.
