Robot kinematics analysis and trajectory planning based on artificial potential field method
Authors: Li Yayun , Zhang Dawei
Published: May 2024

In order for a robot to complete a given task, it must first be made to autonomously reach a specified target location, so optimizing the robot path trajectory planning is a prerequisite for the use of robots. In this paper, for the two problems of the traditional artificial potential field method of target unreachable and local optimization, we first improve the repulsive potential field function so that the robot’s gravitational force and repulsive force are zero at the target position and then construct the robot kinematic analytical model by setting the virtual target point away from the local minimum value point. On this basis, the improved algorithm is used to compare simulation experiments in three environments with the real trajectory planning test in the showroom. In the climate “near the obstacle of the target point” and the pure U-shaped area environment, the robot of the traditional APF algorithm cannot reach the target point. However, the algorithm in this paper reaches the target point in all three environments, with a time taken of only 21, 33, and 42 seconds, respectively. In the real trajectory planning of the showroom, the improved algorithm in this paper reaches the target point quickly and accurately, with a total path trajectory length of 77.7835m, a time of 43 seconds, and a total turning angle of 793°. This paper provides an effective method for planning robot path trajectories in a complex and variable environment.

Published: May 2024

The current employment situation is getting tighter and tighter, and innovation and entrepreneurship of college students have gradually become the focus of attention of the government and colleges and universities. This paper preprocesses the student data, constructs the data matrix using the gray prediction algorithm, uses the least squares method, establishes the differential equation solution, and obtains employment prediction data. For the employment prediction can be known to the innovation and entrepreneurship situation of college students, this paper further introduces the Logistic regression analysis, establishes a multivariate regression analysis algorithm based on the influencing factors of innovation and entrepreneurship, and provides theoretical support for the study of the influencing factors and the optimization mechanism of the management of innovation and entrepreneurship student management. This paper takes University H in Zhejiang Province of China as the research site to explore the current situation of innovation and entrepreneurship of its college students in depth. The students who choose self-help entrepreneurship in 2022-2023 only accounted for 2.42% and 2.04%, and the predicted percentage in 2024 is 1.93%, so the current situation of innovation and entrepreneurship is dismal. In the analysis of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship influencing factors, the factors of specialty, personal work experience, and buddy entrepreneurship experience all showed significant differences (P<0.05). In the regression analysis of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship policy on entrepreneurial intention, the regression coefficients of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship policy are 0.276 and 0.136, respectively, which both reach the level of significance, and all of them are in a significant positive proportional relationship.

Authors: Li Peng
Published: May 2024

The profound impact of the digital transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry on the global supply chain forms the core of this analysis. This paper introduces a measurement model for assessing the manufacturing digital transformation and upgrading, which includes constructing an indicator system and calculating the weights of these indicators using the entropy value method. Subsequently, the raw data for each indicator are processed through the maximum-minimum value method. Furthermore, this study advances a global supply chain performance assessment SCOR model tailored to the specifics of manufacturing digital transformation and upgrading. It conducts a quantitative analysis of key indicators, typically challenging to quantify, thus deriving their numerical expressions and examining the effects of performance changes. In 2023, China’s comprehensive index for transformation and upgrading escalated to 83.84%, a significant increase from 6.78% in 1999. In a simulation experiment focusing on the integrated circuit manufacturing industry, the digital transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing sector is shown to enhance production inventory levels within the global supply chain and reduce delivery times. The Estimated Lead Time (ELT) service level improved by 5%, reaching 100%. At the same time, revenues and profits saw increments of approximately 44.66 million and 32.11 million US dollars, respectively, relative to scenarios absent of such digital advancements.

Authors: Liao Wanmei
Published: May 2024

Reading plays a pivotal role in English language acquisition, with the motivation for reading critically influencing both readers’ attitudes and students’ competencies. This study develops an English reading model predicated on a social network-enabled reading mechanism and investigates the impact of English reading motivation through the lens of social network embedding. The research focuses on English readers’ reading motivation, employing five scales: structural embeddedness, relational embeddedness, reading goals, reading interest, and reading motivation. Data were analyzed using factor analysis and structural equation modeling to elucidate the influence mechanism of English reading motivation from the perspective of social network embeddedness. The results indicate that the path coefficients for the impact of structural and relational embedding within social networks on English reading goals are statistically significant at the 0.05 level, with values of 0.152 and 0.133, respectively. Furthermore, the path coefficient linking English reading goals to English reading interest is 0.335, and the coefficient from reading interest to reading motivation is 0.542, both of which are significant at the 0.001 level. The findings suggest that engaging in English reading activities through social networks can substantially boost readers’ interest in reading, thereby facilitating the achievement of their reading goals.

Disinformation as a danger to international security: An exploration of the implications in the Italian context
Authors: Battista Daniele
Published: May 2024

Before the start of the conflict in Ukraine in February 2022, Russia dedicated substantial resources to build a complex ecosystem of disinformation aimed at justifying the invasion of Ukraine as a legitimate and necessary decision. This disinformation manifested through an integrated approach involving various influence operations, including the corruption of agents and state officials, the use of financial projects such as RT and Sputnik, and the management of profit-driven economic operations through state-owned companies. The main objective of these operations was to influence public opinion in the involved countries, impact political processes, especially in democracies, and undermine the development of evidence-based policies, posing significant risks to international security and stability. The objective of this article is to examine the effects of disinformation in Italy with reference to its impact on public opinion. The research question focuses on the relationship between the different themes that constitute the complexity of disinformation about the war in Ukraine and the effect they have. The hypothesis to be tested is that fake news has a direct impact on the formation of public opinion, influencing the public discourse itself. For the purpose of the research, the frequency of recurring themes and their relational structure will be evaluated to determine if there are coherent disinformation narratives among them. Furthermore, key meta-narratives present in Italy will be highlighted, aiming to fuel a coherent system of beliefs. The expected results support the thesis that disinformation and fake news represent significant geopolitical tools in the struggle for power and status in the international community, through the projection of strategic narratives. Ultimately, this phenomenon highlights the centrality of disinformation in the management of international relations and its ability to influence global public discourse.

An Accidental Exposure To Chlorine Causing Chemical Pneumonitis
Authors: Syeda Nazneen , Idris L
Published: May 2024

Chlorine is a reactive gas used by humanity for over two centuries. Exposure to chlorine has occurred in a number of situations, including as a chemical warfare agent, in industrial and domestic exposures, and as a result of accidents and spills.Respiratory complications that develop after acute exposure to chlorine gas include rhinitis, pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) .Up to 1% of exposed individuals die. We present one such unique incident of a young 18 year old boy who developed chemical pneumonitis within a span of 24 hours after a bottle of clorox (sodium hypochlorite) fell over his face while he was asleep.The patient was kept for observation in the hospital due to profuse coughing and chest discomfort . After admission his saturation dropped and he required oxygen support.Through this case we highlight the importance of treatment of chlorine exposure which is essentially symptomatic, with the efficacy of some treatments (such as corticosteroid therapy) still not well established.

Authors: Parveen Arifa , Riffat Mohsina , Shaikh Sarang
Published: May 2024

Diabetics Keto Acidosis (DKA) is a serious health problem that requires timely intervention to prevent harmful consequences. This study analyzes various types of patient data, including clinical parameters and historical records such as family history, genetics, age, gender, etc., to identify early indications for developing DKA in children. The proposed AI-based system can support healthcare professionals in the emergency department by providing accurate and timely predictions/decisions. The dataset consisted of various clinical, and laboratory parameters such as "blood sugar level, hco3, pH values, urinary ketones, acidosis, sodium, and potassium values". Furthermore, along with the above parameters the dataset also contained some additional parameters such as "gender, age, and family history". The total size of the dataset was 5000 rows with 978 rows as "children diagnosed with DKA" and 4021 rows as "normal children". For the model selection stage, we selected 08 different machine learning models such as logistic regression, k nearest neighbor, naïve Bayes, decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, xgboost, and extra trees classifier. Additionally, we also split the above dataset into two sets (i.e., train, and test) with an overall distribution of 70%, and 30% for the train (3500 data points), and test (1500 data points); respectively. Throughout, the study, we strictly followed all the ethical guidelines to ensure patient privacy and data protection rights with relevant regulations. The preliminary results showed that the proposed AI-based prediction model achieved a high accuracy for predicting DKA in children based on the above dataset. Although, the dataset contained more samples of normal children (i.e., 80.5%) than DKA-diagnosed children but still the prediction model performed very well in identifying the DKA in the children. The best-performing model from the models selected in the methods part was found to be the extra trees classifier with overall accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, and MSE of 81%, 78%, 81%, 73%, and 18%. By integrating, the developed predictive model into the emergency department, the medical officers or healthcare professionals can predict different patients at risk very quickly by providing the input data of the patients on which the proposed AI-based prediction model is trained.

Authors: Ayub Hareem
Published: May 2024

Background: Child abuse is an alarming issue that leads to lifelong health consequences, both physically and psychologically. The past few years, an increased number of abuse cases (sexual and physical) were reported in paediatric emergency departments (PED). Knowing the commonly presented abuse and other vital factors (age and gender), prompt effective measures can be developed by the system for child safety.
Objective: To determine the number of child abuse cases along with the age and gender commonly presenting in the PED.
Methods: Retrospective review of abuse cases that required in-patient care in PED of ChildLife foundation Karachi, during the period of January'2021-June'2022.
Results: Total of 39 child abuse cases were reported. 25 were sexual-abuse, out of which 16 were male (64%) and 9 (36%) were female. From age 1month-5years, 37.50% (n=3) were female and 62.50% (n=5) were males. From age 6-10years, 70% (n=7) were male and 30% were female. Lastly, from age 11-13years, 85.70% (n=6) were male and 14.20% (n=1) were females. 14 cases were physical-abuse. 11 (78.5%) were male and 3 (21.4%) were female. From age 1 month-5years, 100% (n=1) were male and 0% (n=0) were female. From age 6-10years, 66.60% (n=4) were male and 33.60% (n=2) were female. Finally, from age 11-13years, 85.70% (n=6) were male and 14.20% (n=1) were female. 44% of sexual-abuse cases left against medical advice (LAMA), 32% got admitted, 20% were discharged and 4% referred to another hospital. Similarly, from the 14 physical-abuse cases, 28.57% LAMA, 57% got discharged, 7% was admitted and 7% were discharged on request.
Conclusion: Common abuse in PED was sexual, majority of the patients were males aged 6-10years. Most of physical-abuse cases were of age 11-13years. The result reflects that most of the sexual-abuse cases LAMA while the physical-abuse patients were discharged after treatment.
Prompt and effective measures should be taken by the government to raise awareness and remove the stigma regarding child abuse, so that timely reporting of cases along with early management can be achieved.

Background. Understanding the severity of the disease from the parents’ perspective can lead to better patient outcomes, improving both the child’s health-related quality of life and the family’s quality of life. The implementation of 3-dimensional (3D) modeling technology in care is critical from a translational science perspective.
Aim. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of 3D modeling on family quality of life, surgical success, and patient outcomes in congenital heart diseases. Additionally, we aim to identify challenges and potential solutions related to this innovative technology.
Methods. The study is a two-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial protocol. The sample size is 15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. The experimental group’s heart models will be made from their own computed tomography (CT) images and printed using a 3D printer. The experimental group will receive surgical simulation and preoperative parent education with their 3D heart model. The control group will receive the same parent education using the standard anatomical model. Both groups will complete the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Surgical Simulation Evaluation Form - Part I-II, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Family Impacts Module. The primary outcome of the research is the average PedsQL Family Impacts Module score. Secondary outcome measurement includes surgical success and patient outcomes. Separate analyses will be conducted for each outcome and compared between the intervention and control groups.
Conclusions. Anomalies that can be clearly understood by parents according to the actual size and dimensions of the child’s heart will affect the preoperative preparation of the surgical procedure and the recovery rate in the postoperative period.

Vetiver introduced as perennial grass crop in Mediterranean basin is tested for its potential fodder ability. Effects of nitrogen (N) fertilization, on growth, yield and forage quality parameters were assessed during two cropping seasons using a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Three N levels as ammonium-nitrate, were tested: 0, 30 and 60 kg N ha-1. Results showed that biomass increases under maximum N rate compared to control. The improvements in fresh and dry weights were 39.61% and 257.14%, respectively. Second cutting increased DY by 14.70% compared to first cut. Forage yield increase was closely related to a rise of number of tillers by 24.7% under 60 kg N ha-1. The increased tillers enhanced forage yield by 14% during cropping seasons. N produced a linear increase in crude protein under 30 and 60 kg N ha-1 of 40% and 63.8%, respectively. In addition, the increase of leaf cellulose content was less impacted by N fertilization allowing vetiver to be more digestible forage. The results showed that vetiver could be grown as a forage crop in Mediterranean areas. N fertilization since a low rate of 30 kg N ha-1 is su􀵶 cient to stimulate regrowth, increase biomass yield and nutritional value.

To the Research and Development Station for Plants Culture on Sands, Dabuleni, in the period 2020- 2021, in a plum orchard, different doses of compost were applied obtained from sludge resulting from the processing of domestic wastewater. Soil analyzes, in the second year after the application of compost, showed an improvement in the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, with higher values at doses of 60-80t / ha compost. Organic carbon showed values between 0.13% in the control version and 0.69% in the fertilized variant with 80t / ha compost. Regarding the soil reaction, a slight reduction of pH was observed with increasing amount of compost. The results obtained regarding the heavy metals in the soil showed increases in all the analyzed elements, with the increase of the amount of compost, but the values obtained do not exceed the maximum allowed limits in EU countries. The highest values were determined to dose of 60t / ha of compost, at which the manganese content increased from 180 mg to 414 mg, copper from 10.1 mg to 43.9 mg, and zinc from 15.6 mg to 39.3 mg. These results lead to the premise of the careful use of composts obtained from sludge resulting from the processing of domestic wastewater as fertilizer in the orchards.
Integrating multiple vehicle drivetrains into an energy system simulation model for Japan
Authors: Knüpfer K. , Rogalski N. , Knüpfer A. , Esteban M. , Shibayama T.
Published: May 2024

To reduce the impact of climate change, the Japanese economy has set mitigation goals that include the decarbonisation of the energy sector and the electrification of transport. As a result, zero-emission vehicles could change the electricity demand curve, and it is thus necessary for them to be integrated into energy system models to estimate their impact and any opportunities or challenges they represent to grid stability. While previous studies have integrated single-vehicle technologies in the simulation of country-level energy grids, the present study improves on available models by integrating a country-level energy system model with a transmission grid, while considering two different drivetrains and improving on the diversity of the vehicle movement patterns considered. The simulation model results highlight that the electricity demand of each drivetrain is distinct, with a midday peak for battery electric vehicles and less pronounced morning and afternoon peaks for fuel cell electric vehicles. An important conclusion is that the infrastructure setup and associated use rules can be expected to significantly impact transport demand curves, indicating the need to further investigate how policy changes can impact the overall configuration of the energy mix.
Normas de concretude para 521 palavras do português e sua relação com aquisição da linguagem
Authors: Ananias Thayná , Godoy Mahayana
Published: May 2024

A concretude é uma métrica frequentemente presente em estudos normativos de diversas línguas (Bonin et al., 2003; Della Rosa et al., 2010; Soares et al. 2016). Todavia, ainda não há trabalhos em português brasileiro, que saibamos, envolvendo a relação entre concretude e idade de aquisição por classe gramatical. Nesta lacuna, então, objetivamos inserir este trabalho. O conceito de concretude adotado diz respeito a um atributo de uma palavra relacionado à emergência de uma experiência sensorial (Lima e Buratto, 2021). Realizamos um experimento on-line de coleta para as notas de concretude. Ao final, lidamos com o total de notas para 521 palavras dadas por 772 participantes. Entre as palavras tidas como mais concretas, notou-se que os substantivos são consideravelmente mais concretos em comparação com todas as outras classes. Em oposição, as menos concretas tendem a ser onomatopeias, interjeições ou palavras funcionais. De forma geral, nossos resultados indicam que não parece haver uma correlação significativa entre concretude e idade de aquisição.

C. McGinn. The concept of a person / trans. from Engl. A. V. Nekhaev
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Nekhaev A. V.
Published: May 2024

The essay contains a critique of the metaphysical ways to use of the term ‘person’. Since the term does not designate any natural kind, philosophers must abandon the question ‘what constitutes the continued existence of a person?’. It’s just a bad question. All well-defined questions about identity (‘what is human animal identity?’, ‘what is human mind identity?’, and so on) should formulate only in terms of natural kinds.

Published: May 2024

The article is dedicated to the Soviet politician M. M. Lashevich (1884–1928), a participant in the revolution and the Civil War, chairman of the Siberian Revolutionary Committee. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that his activities as a fellow chairman of the Board of the CER in 1926–1928 little known, as are the causes of death in Harbin. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the final period of Lashevich’s life in the context of the Soviet presence in China, with emphasis placed on the perception of Lashevich’s personality by Russian emigration in Manchuria, the circumstances of his death and posthumous biography using an anthropological approach and the biographical method. The research is based on unpublished sources, ego-documents and periodical materials from Harbin. The author emphasizes that the study of such extraordinary figures as Lashevich is important not only for understanding Soviet policy in China, but also for clarifying the problems of perception and assessment of the activities of Soviet leaders by ideological opponents.
Dimensão cultural e artística das línguas bantu
Authors: Kimbanda Francisco Jacucha , Van-Dúnem Luis Manuel Faria
Published: May 2024

This text addresses the Cultural and Artistic Dimension of Bantu Languages in Higher Education in Angola. The Bantu languages are the only means of expressing art in Angola. Therefore, there is no art without Angolan languages. In a country where the state imposes the deprivation of the public or private use of local languages as fundamental rights of people, one cannot speak of Angolan art, since only through these languages can the artist express the cultural, political and artistic values of the Peoples of Angola. Bantu languages occupy the last position with a deprecated language dimension. Thus, it is the purpose of this text to analyze the extent to which the Bantu languages of Angola express all the rationality of the people who speak them. This communication is therefore the result of my experiences in courts and schools in rural communities. In courts, I have attended certain trial sessions where the judge who speaks in good Portuguese is not understood by the accused and the witness who speak in any Bantu language. It was found that the large urban centers, considered civilized societies, which dominate the cultured norm and have a considerable number of police, guards in backyards, record more and more different criminal actions in relation to rural communities, where there are no police. These disparate facts are due to the ethical and moral values imbued in the languages of each community.
Entre imaginário e dominação: ideologia e direito como “aparelho de Estado” no pensamento de Louis Althusser
Authors: Villas Bôas Filho Orlando
Published: May 2024

O artigo pretende analisar a tese de Louis Althusser acerca da ideologia e do direito como “aparelho de Estado”. Para tanto, em primeiro lugar, enfoca aspectos gerais da teoria althusseriana que sustentam a sua compreensão do Estado como instrumento de dominação de classe. Em seguida, analisa a teoria althusseriana dos “aparelhos ideológicos de Estado” para, a partir dela, abordar o direito como “aparelho de Estado”. Por fim, ressaltando a complexidade que permeia a concepção althusseriana de ideologia, o artigo procura demonstrar que a teoria dos “aparelhos ideológicos de Estado” (AIE) remanesce influente, especialmente em virtude de sustentar que a reprodução da ordem social não decorre de sua imposição por um poder repressivo, mas da existência de um “Estado invisível” que se manifestaria como uma “forma de pensamento inconsciente” dos sujeitos.

The present text sheds light on reflection about a society in crisis "that is announced", being the capture of how we think in relation to Philosophy and the use that is made of reason, a necessary condition for this purpose. This way of thinking is reflected in all dimensions of human life, with particular mention of how education, politics, law, and justice are viewed as conditions for achieving a more dignified humanity. Hence, in this sense of philosophizing about our reality, we have proposed the challenge of (re) thinking our (Angolan) society from the perspective of "Sacred Hope" reflected in education. The reflection starts from the question: how to rethink, philosophically, our Angolan society from the "Sacred Hope," whose content is reflected in education? It is a question that fundamentally raises the discussion about the educational possibilities for realizing the individual in the Angolan context, characterized by levels of illiteracy and widespread poverty. This situation leads us to resort to the "Sacred Hope" which, in the circumstances in which it was born, as a thought-out ideal, represented the dream of achieving a different and dignified condition of life for the Angolan person, to, as a Philosophy, understood as a new perspective of life grounded in the light of reason, and question its reach in the present. Thus, if Philosophy is a questioning of any (social) reality, then it makes sense to admit that, without Philosophy, a society enters into existential crisis and, in this sense, it becomes imperative to rethink it from the perspective of education as sacred hope

Published: May 2024

Este artigo registra algumas anotações resultantes do estudo realizado sobre a Análise Arqueológica do Discurso (AAD), de Michel Foucault. Para tanto recorre à própria abordagem, enquanto metodologia de estudo, e aos trabalhos de Foucault (1999, 2001, 2008), de Palomo (2001), de Carlos (2017, 2021) e de outros como parâmetros que orientam a problematização sobre o signo, identificado como o ser da linguagem, suas possibilidades de uso e de funções enunciativas, assim como objetiva remexer alguns fios teóricos que tecem a trama de saberes que envolvem a perspectiva da AAD no que diz respeito à relação entre o signo, o discurso e o enunciado, cujo nexo entre os termos é tratado de maneira diferente pela AAD, quando se compara ao modo corrente que circula no âmbito do domínio das ciências sociais e humanas. Orientado pela hipótese da AAD, como teoria do discurso, após o desenvolvimento da análise, o estudo conclui, assinalando a importância da linguagem, como uma ferramenta crucial para a interação humana e formação do conhecimento, quanto como indispensável à feitura do discurso, enquanto enunciado, evidenciando a riqueza e a complexidade do ponto de vista arqueológico acerca da noção de linguagem, discurso, enunciado e de suas relações.

Authors: Eroğlu Sevinç Demet
Published: May 2024

Bu çalışma düşük ve orta gelişmişlik seviyesinde olan bazı Akdeniz ülkelerinde çevreye olan muhtemel etkileri dolayısıyla karbon emisyonları üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda kentleşmenin karbon emisyonlarına olan etkileri bu çalışmanın ana amacını oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle günümüz dünyasında içinden çıkılmaz bir sorun haline gelen küresel ısınma olgusu ister gelişmiş ister geri kalmış olsun, tüm ülkeleri yakından ilgilendiren bir konu haline gelmiştir. Bu soruna karşı geliştirilen çözüm önerilerinin başında gelen düşük karbon emisyonu politikaları gelişmiş ülkelerin başını çektiği ülkeler tarafından uygulanıyor görünse de temelde tüm ülkelerin önemle üzerinde durdukları bir konudur. Bu çalışma da düşük ve orta gelişmişlik seviyesinde olan bazı Akdeniz ülkelerinde 1995-2020 dönemi için kentleşme sebepli karbon emisyonlarının etkileri incelenmektedir. Panel veriye dayalı çalışma bulguları 2.582 olarak bulunan kentleşme eşik değerinin literatürde yapılan birçok çalışmadan daha yüksek seviyelerde olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durum ülkelerin gelişmişlik seviyelerinin kentleşme ve çevre hassasiyetlerine etkilerini net bir şekilde ortaya koymaktadır.
Assessing Asymmetry in Okun's Law: A Nonlinear Approach in the Turkish Economy
Authors: Benli Fatma
Published: May 2024

In this paper, the presence of asymmetric behavior in Okun’s Law for Turkey during the period 2005-2023 is analysed. The relationship between economic growth and the unemployment rate has been assessed in the context of nonlinear time series models. Nonlinear methods are typically favoured in macroeconomic series analyses as they generate more robust findings. In this paper, nonlienear symmetric KSS cointegration and nonlinear asymmetric Hepsağ cointegration tests were used to test for the existence of a long-run relationship between the variables, and the Hatemi-j test was used to test for nonlinear causality. Our findings demonstrate no evidence of co-integration between the variables. Hatemi-j test results, on the other hand, indicate the presence of a causality relationship from negative growth components to positive unemployment components. Specifically, a decrease in the growth was found to be the only one of all the components that was a statistically significant cause of an increase in the unemployment.

Bu çalışmada risk tutumları ayrışan ajanların güvene dayalı ilişkilerde farklı davranışlar sergileyip sergilemedikleri ve tecrübe edilen güven ilişkilerinin risk tutum ve tercihlerini etkileyip etkilemediği araştırılmıştır. İlgili çerçevede yazında giderek popüler hale gelen deneysel iktisat yöntemleri kullanılarak özgün bir melez tasarım hazırlanmıştır. Bireylerin risk tercihlerini analiz etmek amacı ile Holt & Laury (2002) tarafından geliştirilen çoklu fiyat listesi uygulamasından istifade edilmiştir. Bireyler arasındaki güven ilişkisini çözümlemek için ise Berg, Dickhaut & McCabe (1995) tarafından yazına kazandırılan klasik güven oyununun bir sürümü tercih edilmiştir. Deney sonucunda elde edilen veriler çeşitli istatistiki testler ve ekonometrik yöntemler ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, risk tercihlerinin güven kararı üzerinde belirleyici bir rolü olmadığını işaret etmektedir. Oysaki güven ilişkisi tecrübesinin bireylerin risk tercihlerini değiştirdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bireyler güven ilişkisi sonucunda kendilerini kazançlı hissettiklerinde risk alma yatkınlıkları azalmaktadır. Ek olarak, bireylerin kendilerine yapılan transferleri iş birliğini arttırma sinyali olarak yorumlayıp daha fazla risk alma ve toplumsal optimuma yakınsama eğilimi içine girdikleri değerlendirilmiştir.
İklim Değişikliği ve Çevresel Maliyetler: Kirleten Öder İlkesi Çerçevesinde Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Savcı Mustafa , Yıldırım Korkmaz
Published: May 2024

Paris Anlaşması başta olmak üzere birçok uluslararası düzenlemede iklim değişikliği kaynaklı risk ve tehditler ile mücadelede sera gazı salımların azaltımı (mitigation) yanı sıra uyum (adaptation) faaliyetlerinin gerekliliği sıklıkla vurgulanmaktadır. Benzer şekilde, azaltım ve uyum çabalarını da içerecek şekilde ekonomik, sosyal ve ekolojik değişime öncelik veren "sürdürülebilir kalkınma" hedeflerine ulaşmak, işletmelerin tercih ve önceliklerinde değişiklik yapılmasını gerektirmektedir. Bu bağlamda iklim değişikliği ve sürdürülebilirlik girişimleri ile mücadelede özel sektör tarafından daha fazla benimsemesi istenen "kirleten öder ilkesi (KÖİ)" akademik ve politik tartışmaların odağı olmaya devam etmektedir. Çünkü KÖİ, maliyetleri ve görevleri paydaşlar arasında dağıtmak, sürdürülebilir bir toplum ve daha adil bir küresel iklim politikası oluşturmak için gereklidir. KÖİ’nin pratik boyutlarını, çevresel maliyetleri hesaplamak için kullanılan prosedürler oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca bir işletmenin üretim ve tüketimden kaynaklanan çevresel maliyetleri ve karbon salımlarını raporlaması büyük ölçüde güvenilir ve kapsayıcı muhasebe ve mali kayıtlarına bağlı olmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada iklim değişikliği ile mücadelede çevresel maliyetlerin KÖİ çerçevesinde incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışma sonucunda ise KÖİ üretim maliyetlerinde çevresel maliyetlerin payının ve karbon ayak izinin doğru belirlenmesi, kayıtlanması, raporlanmasının küresel rekabet açısından yadsınamaz önemi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Modernleşme Sürecinde Türk Hukukunda Değişen Dinamikler

17. yüzyılda Batı düşün dünyasında etkisini gösteren Aydınlanma hareketi neticesinde, modernizm akımı Batı medeniyetlerinde etkili olmuş, bunun neticesinde gelişen kapitalist toplum nezdinde hukuki pozitivizm kuramı sahneye çıkmıştır. Modern dünyada istikrar ve belirliliği sağlamak, bireylerin anomalik davranış ve tepkilerden arınarak herkesin kendisine verilen görevi bir saatin dişli çarkları gibi yapmasına dayanan bu iş bölümünün kusursuz işlemesi açısından klasik hukuki pozitivizm düşüncesi ve bu düşünceden doğan kazuistik mantıkla yapılan kodifikasyonlar ile metafiziksel kavramların hukuk dışına itilmesi dönemin kendine özgü bakış açılarını oluşturmaktadır. Batı dünyasında ortaya çıkan bu anlayış, Doğu dünyasında da 17. ve 18. yüzyıllarda hemen etkisini göstermiştir. Bu minvalde Osmanlı Devleti’nde Batıcılık akımı hız kazanmış, hukuk alanında da değişim başlamıştır. Özellikle Osmanlı Devleti’nin çöküşü ve Cumhuriyet dönemiyle birlikte, Türk hukuku büyük ölçüde geleneksel anlayıştan uzaklaşarak modern pozitivist hukuk anlayışının etkisi altına girmiştir. Tanzimat dönemi ve ardından gelen Meşrutiyet dönemi, hukuk alanında önemli reformların yaşandığı zamanlardır. Cumhuriyet dönemiyle birlikte kanunlaştırma hareketleri hız kazanarak, geleneksellikten kopuş tam olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Batıcılık akımının etkisi neticesinde gelenekselden modernizme geçişte Osmanlı hukuk sisteminde değişen zihniyet ve sonuçları çağın gelişmeleri ve hukuka bakışı doğrultusunda irdelenecektir. Sonrasında da Cumhuriyet döneminde geleneksellikten kopuş neticesinde ortaya konulan modern hukuk sisteminin esasları tartışılacaktır.
Lattice models in teaching thermodynamics: Merging the configurational and translational entropies
Authors: Åstrand Per-Olof , de Miguel Rodrigo
Published: May 2024

The importance of connecting bulk thermodynamic properties with their microscopic origin is widely acknowledged by the teaching community. Due to their insightful simplicity, lattice models are therefore regarded by many as a useful tool for teaching statistical thermodynamics within a molecular context and thereby also classical thermodynamics. By invoking simple statistics, this microscopic approach produces well-known equations of state, such as the ideal gas law and the van der Waals equation of state. In this work, we strengthen the reach of lattice models and show that if the quantum volume (i.e., the cube of the thermal wavelength) is adopted as the volume of a lattice point, the configurational and translational entropies are merged. Furthermore, refined equations of state are obtained with little effort at a level suitable for undergraduate college students.
