Dijital çağda göçmenlere yönelik çoğulculuk karşıtı yansımalar Black Mirror: Men Againts Fire
Authors: DOĞANER Saygın Koray
Published: October 2023

Netflix gibi güncel bir medya organı vasıtasıyla günümüzde canlılığını sürdüren çoğulculuk karşıtı anlayışın Black Mirror serisinin Men Against Fire (2016) bölümü üzerinden hala güncelliğini koruyan bir anlatım dilini aktarmanın yeni bir biçimini bizlere sunmakla beraber gündelik hayatımızdaki ayrımcı pratiklerin yansımalarını göstermektedir. Bölümdeki böcek imgesi üzerinden ayrımcılık pratikleri ele alınmakta ve böcek olarak nitelendirilen göçmenlerin zeka seviyelerinin beklenen düzeyden düşük olması, genetik açıdan hastalık risklerinin yüksekliği, kontrolsüz üreme, cinsel yolla bulaşıcı hastalıklara açık olma gibi “güçsüz ve zayıf” yanların ortadan kaldırılması bahanesi ile açığa çıkar. Bu durum küreselleşen dünyanda en önemli enformasyon kaynağı haline gelen medyanın gelişen teknolojik araçlardan olan sanal gerçeklik, artırılmış gerçeklik ve karma gerçeklik teknoloji hizmetlerinin farklı bölgelerde yaşayan insanların tamamına çoğulculuk anlayışıyla hizmet vermesinin önemini açığa çıkarır. İlerleyen teknolojik yeniliklerle medyada tekelleşmenin ve sadece belirli çıkarlar doğrultusunda oluşturulmuş bir ideolojiye hizmet etmenin çeşitli manipülasyonlara ne derece açık olduğu bölüm üzerinden aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Baudrillard’a göre simülasyonlarla sarılmış evren, bütün nosyonlar belirli işlemlerden geçerek simülakra dönüşerek hayatın içinde var olan kültürel bir öge izlenimi verilir. Kitle iletişim araçları ile eski kültürel örüntüler devam ediyor izlenimi yaratılarak gerçekliğin varlığı yapay olarak gizli tutulmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Baudrillard’ın Simulasyon kuramı kapsamında ve çoğulculuk karşıtı pratikler bağlamında Black Mirror: Men Against Fire bölümünü tartışmaktır.
Analysis of discourse conflict through Turkish television series: Sample of Hacı
Authors: ARVAS Nevin
Published: October 2023

Rather than seeing the world as it is, individuals prefer to see it as they wish it to be. Beliefs, feelings, thoughts, and assumptions affect the way they view the world. This situation, according to Althusser, occurs under the influence of the ideological order. Ideologies attempt to describe and interpret the world by making claims or assumptions about human nature, historical events, facts, and future possibilities.Hegemony is all about power relations; which group is dominant and which group is subordinate to the other group. It is indispensable to consider this, as power relations are central to human behavior and where it is.It is not difficult to understand that the tension between ideology and hegemony are not abstract macro forces. It is also possible to see examples from the daily life of people. It helps to explain this tension between the openness and closure of television texts and the practices of coding or decoding. In other words, people engage in hegemonic struggles through common sense in their daily lives and force textual ambiguity.The purpose of this essay is to discuss the relationship between the secular and conservative discourses in Turkey and their representation in one work of popular culture. The research begins to be analyzed by establishing a method from Althusser's perspective, as the media is one of the most effective Ideological State Devices in many parts of the world today. By looking at various branches of the media and the practices used, it is almost possible to understand which discourse is dominant in Turkey and how it is done to prevent the other discourse. In this context, in terms of flexible limitations, the 'Hacı' series, which is one of the examples that explains the difference between RSA and ISA very well for the general and society, was chosen. The limited number of TV series that glorify Islam, such as Hadji, shows that the ISAs of the conservative discourse are not strong enough to outweigh the secular discourse. This is a sign that the dominant discourse in Turkey is almost completely successful in naturally eliminating dissidents. In this context, the study constituted an important research in terms of contributing to the literature on how the dominant discourse is constructed through the media.

Türk toplumunda tarih boyunca, toplumsal ve kültürel yapı sürekli olarak değişime uğramış ve bu değişimler, sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik ve politik faktörlerle birlikte Türk aile yapısını da yeniden şekillendirmiştir. Özellikle kentleşme ve şehir yaşamının yaygınlaşması, çekirdek aile modeline doğru bir evrimi beraberinde getirmiş ve aynı zamanda kadınların iş hayatına katılımı, anne ve baba rollerinde bazı değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Modern dönemde, anne ve baba rollerinin değişim ve evrim geçirdiği, aynı zamanda tamamlanmamış ailelerde büyüyen çocukların da olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu önemli toplumsal değişiklikler, sinemada da yansıtılmıştır çünkü sinema, toplumsal ve kültürel değerleri aktarmada önemli bir araç olarak hizmet vermektedir. Bu nedenle, sinema yapıtlarında sık sık aile ve aile içinde anne, baba ve çocuk rollerinin temsillerine rastlamaktayız. Bu çalışmada amaçlı örnekleme yöntemleri içerisinden ölçüt örneklemle belirlenen Hadi Be Oğlum filmi incelenmiştir. Filmin içerisindeki baba karakterlerinin nasıl tasarlandığını, baba ile oğul arasındaki iletişimin çocuk üzerindeki etkisinin nasıl anlatıldığını ve bu baba temsillerinin Türk kültürü ve aile yapısı bağlamındaki anlamlarının nasıl ifade edildiğini anlamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla, "Hadi Be Oğlum" filmi Greimas’a Özgü Eyleyensel Örnekçeyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, Türk toplumunda koruyucu baba rolünün hala varlığını sürdürdüğünü, ancak aynı zamanda tamamlanmamış aile yapılarının da temsil edildiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, babaların çocuklarıyla ilgilenme ve iletişim kurma biçiminin önemli bir şekilde vurgulandığı ve bu faktörün çocukların başarısı üzerinde etkili olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Language and ideology: semiologic transformation
Authors: KIRAÇ Ziya Kıvanç
Published: October 2023

Human beings are born with language skills. However, the development of language is a result of human sociality and culture. Language is transmitted both vertically from generation to generation and horizontally between people. It is assumed that what cannot be expressed in language is not real. Therefore, meaning is only possible within the boundaries of a language. Through meaning, everything that happens becomes conceptualized and standardized. Language shows the meaning of reality through signs. In this way, language goes beyond being a means of communication. It becomes a tool of power struggle. Identifying and revealing the ideological influence in language necessitates different linguistic methods. Because by their very nature, signs transmit an infinite number of complex connections. Ideology, presented as a way of thinking correctly, establishes social relations and directs social action through signs. In this sense, signs are key concepts in the reproduction of ideology. On the other hand, the symbol, which is considered a sign, serves a different dimension of ideology. Symbols also convey meaning. However, their arbitrary construction takes ideology out of the definition of the reproduction of power It gives ideology a dimension such as a mass movement, a grand narrative. Providing meaning to the masses and being a guide is a feature that ideologies establish with symbols. The aim of this study is to explain the possible links between reality, knowledge and ideology based on the distinctions between sign and symbol. In this way, a distinction is made between old-style knowledge and modern knowledge.

Published: October 2023

Introduction

Early tangential excision and wound coverage by autologous skin grafting is the mainstay of treatment for deep dermal and full-thickness burns. They are challenging in children with major burns involving more than 50% of the body surface area.

Aim

This article highlights a young boy who suffered from 52% mixed deep dermal and full-thickness burns after alleged thermal burns and we discuss his treatment strategies.

Case study

A 10-year-old boy suffered 52% mixed deep dermal and full-thickness burns after alleged thermal burns. After initial resuscitation, pain relief and fluid replacement, he underwent an emergent escharotomy of bilateral lower limbs followed by a series of surgeries. His treatment was complicated by many hurdles such as graft failure, difficult intravenous access, nutritional support and local wound infection which were tackled aptly with a multidisciplinary approach.

Results and discussion

A sequential excision of eschar tissue and advocation of multiple modalities of burn wound coverage, including glycerol-preserved cadaveric allograft (GPCA) and MEEK micrografting. GPCA decreases the bacterial load and helps to re-establish the skin barrier, normalise the physiological state and promote capillary ingrowth into the wound. MEEK micrografting allows better re-epithelization and has a shorter operation time.

Conclusions

Various modalities can be used to achieve skin coverage such as GPCA and MEEK micrografting. Extensive burns need to be managed in a tertiary centre with a combination of skin coverage techniques such as GPCA and MEEK micrografting in order to overcome the unavailability of normal skin for conventional skin grafting.

The coronavirus, known to exist in humans and livestock for an extended period, includes variants such as the infectious bronchitis (IB) virus in chickens. As a single-stranded RNA virus, coronaviruses are prone to mutations. Patikan Kebo (Euphorbia hirta L) is a medicinal herb containing various compounds like Flavonoids, Mirisil, Alkaloids, Laraserol, Hentriakontanol, and Komositin, known for their antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-worm properties. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of Patikan Kebo extract on Chicken Embryo Eggs (TAB) and assess its antiviral potential against the chicken AI coronavirus. The experimental approach involved three concentrations of Patikan Kebo extract (0.01% - P1, 0.1% - P2, 1% - P3), a control group without Patikan Kebo extract (K+), and a control group without the virus (K-). Data analysis was conducted using ANOVA and Tukey HSD in the SPSS program. The results from ANOVA indicated that the dose of Patikan Kebo significantly impacted (P<0.05) its antiviral activity against the IB virus. The average HA Titer 2 (Log2) demonstrated a 47% reduction in viral activity. In conclusion, the most effective herbal antiviral dose against the IB virus was determined to be 0.1% Patikan Kebo extract.

Published: October 2023

Roadheaders are extensively utilized for tunnel heading rock engineering applications all over the world. To create a work plan and calculate costs, it is critical to forecast roadheader performance as precisely as possible. Machine utilization time (MUT) is required for the calculation of daily advance rate of roadheaders. This paper investigates the values of MUT for roadheaders used in underground coal mines. The performance measurements were conducted on fifty different locations for axial machines and thirty-nine different locations for transverse machines. MUT values vary from 15 % to 37.5 % with an average of 26.3 % for axial roadheaders, and vary from 6.9 % to 37.9 % with an average of 18.4 % for transvers roadheaders. The average MUT is 25.4% for all measurements. The percentage of average support time approximately equals to the average MUT. Multiple regression and artificial neural network models were also developed for estimating MUT. Concluding remark is that the determined MUT values and the derived estimation models for roadheaders will be very useful for coal miners.

Published: October 2023

Environmental enrichment is a necessary component of all research vivarium settings. However, appropriate enrichment decisions vary greatly depending on the species involved and the research use of the animals. The increasing use of ferrets in research settings—notably for modeling the pathogenicity and transmissibility of viral pathogens that require containment in ABSL-2 to -4 environments—presents a particular challenge for veterinary and research staff to ensure that enrichment needs for these animals are met consistently. Here, we discuss the species-specific enrichment needs of ferrets, enrichment considerations for ferrets housed in research settings, and the challenges and importance of providing appropriate enrichment during experimentation, including when ferrets are housed in high-containment facilities. This article is organized to support the easy availability of information that will facilitate the design and implementation of optimal environmental enrichment for ferrets used in diverse research efforts in vivarium settings.

Изучено лечебно-профилактическое действие фотопротекторного геля на основе меланина, выделенного из оболочек семян каштана конского (Aesculus hippocastanum L.), на модели ультрафиолетовой эритемы у морских свинок. При однократном накожном профилактическом применении (за 1 ч до облучения) опытных образцов гелей с меланином 0,05 % (№ 2), меланином 0,05 % и ментолом 0,1 % (№ 3) в дозе 500 мг/кг, а также референтного препарата Псило-бальзам (№ 4) по сравнению с контролем площадь ран достоверно была меньше у геля: № 2 — на 45 %, № 3 — на 51 %, № 4 — на 35 % (p <= 0,001), толщина кожной складки морских свинок была ниже соответственно, на 39,5; 36,8 и 28,9 % (p <= 0,05), достоверно не увеличивались ректальная и температура кожной складки. Лечебное применение опытных образцов в течение 21 сут привело на 10 – 14-е сутки к достоверному снижению по отношению к контролю площади ран (р < 0,001) гелями: № 2 — на 51 %, № 3 — на 61 %, № 4 — на 40 %, в контроле — на 16 % по отношению к 1-м суткам эксперимента; у опытных образцов (№ 3 и 4) по отношению к контролю наблюдалось снижение уровня лейкоцитов соответственно на 20,7 и 18,7 % (р ? 0,05), повышение уровня гемоглобина — на 14,2 и 18,2 % (р ? 0,05), нормализация эритроцитов и снижение СОЭ — на 24,2 и 20,2 % (р <= 0,05). Нормализация содержания лейкоцитов в данных группах сопровождалась увеличением нейтрофилов соответственно на 50,5 и 39,2 % (р <= 0,05), что указывает на подавление воспаления. Концентрация мочевины была на 10 – 15 % (р <= 0,05) ниже, чем в контроле. Активность АЛТ и АСТ находилась в пределах нормы и на 10 – 11 % (р <= 0,05) больше по сравнению с контролем. Наиболее эффективным из исследованных гелей в условиях ультрафиолетового облучения является гель № 3.

Изучены особенности количественного содержания и качественного состава эфирных масел в траве тысячелистника обыкновенного синантропной флоры Ростовской области на примере Морозовского района. Для анализа содержания в сырье эфирного масла было выбрано 14 точек заготовки. Все проанализированные образцы растительного сырья признаны доброкачественными по содержанию эфирного масла, которое варьировало в пределах от 0,17 до 0,43 %, при этом отмечена различная окраска выделяемых образцов. Хромато-масс-спектрометрический анализ наиболее контрастных по цвету эфирных масел позволил идентифицировать для травы тысячелистника обыкновенного синантропной флоры Ростовской области 37 различных компонентов. Компонентный состав эфирного масла травы тысячелистника обыкновенного, заготовленного в разных местах, значительно варьирует. В условиях антропогенного воздействия на среду обитания вида отмечен значительный рост доли сесквитерпеновых соединений в эфирном масле, что может быть связано с повышением кислотности почв данных мест заготовки, которая повышает их образование по ацетатно-мевалонатному пути биосинтеза.
Russia-Venezuela Relations (and US Interests): A Fully-Fledged and Long-Term Strategic Partnership?
Authors: Kosevich Ekaterina
Published: October 2023

The strengthening of cooperation between Russia and Venezuela has become one of the characteristics of the system of international relations at the beginning of the 21st century. The previously “unfamiliar” states showed a rapid rapprochement in less than two decades, rewriting the established paradigm that only Cuba could be considered as the Kremlin’s strategic partner in Latin America. Russia’s “special operation” in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, unexpectedly led to rapid positive changes in US-Venezuelan relations, once again reminding the world that these countries have historically been important trade and economic partners, which will not change quickly. This raised the Kremlin’s concerns about the impending “loss” of Venezuela. The article provides an analysis of the current state of Russia-Venezuela relations, highlighting the factors that were behind every achievement of Russia in Venezuela, with the coming to power of a left-wing government that defined itself as socialist, anti-capitalist, anti-neoliberal and anti-hegemonic. Highlighting the main areas of the ongoing interaction between Caracas and Washington, the author casts doubt on the prevailing opinion in the literature that Russia has been able to form a full-fledged and long-term strategic partnership with Venezuela.

Authors: Romanov Daniil , Fominykh Ilya , Ankudinov Ivan
Published: October 2023

Political scientists have long known that modern electoral autocracies can use quasi-democratic institutions to neutralize the danger posed by the opposition. Participation in elections by completely controlled spoiler parties proved to be an effective tool for maintaining authoritarian stability. However, researchers know few cases of how aging authoritarian regimes create systemic semi-independent opposition in order to increase turnout and split the votes of the systemic opposition. Based on a database of candidates from single-member districts (SMD) in the 2021 regional parliamentary elections in Russia with more than 2,200 unique observations, we show how the participation of candidates from the newly created New People, Green Alternative, and the Russian Party of Freedom and Justice affected the electoral results of United Russia and two parties of the ‘old’ systemic opposition.

Benefits of using matrix methods in teach-ing mechanics in higher education institu-tions
Authors: Bеlovol Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

Problem. Basic concepts, concepts, principles of mechanics are mainly taught from simple to complex in institutions of higher technical education, which to some extent resembles a course on the history of mechanics. In today's conditions, the education system is required to take into account current trends in scientific and engineering fields. The use of inherently geometric methods of vector algebra and vector analysis as a basis for studying mechanics is losing its relevance. To a certain extent, this approach interferes with the use of multidimensional spaces (configurational and phase), tensor algebra, and computer technologies in modeling complex mechanical systems. Goal. The goal is to expand the field of application of the matrix formalism to infinite-dimensional spaces, justify its advantages compared to other approaches used in teaching the basics of mechanical disciplines, and demonstrate its capabilities in solving complex practical problems, both in terms of modeling and in terms of using computer technologies. Methodology. The methodological basis for choosing matrix methods is the use of infinite-dimensional and abstract, in physical terms, spaces when studying the movement of mechanical systems. The fundamental impossibility of accurately describing the state of a mechanical system requires the use of statistical modeling methods and the extension of the so-called law of conservation of matter in the form of a balance equation to these models. Results. It is shown that the matrix method, which is widely used in quantum mechanics and very limited in classical mechanics, allows you to use the advantages of the transition to phase space when obtaining canonical equations and when solving problems of kinematics and dynamics of a solid body. Originality. The paper proposes certain improvements of the matrix apparatus, related to the use of geometric parameters of the mechanical system as indexes. That is, infinite-dimensional matrices with real coefficients are used. Practical value. The proposed method allows you to effectively solve the problems of the mechanics of an absolutely rigid body without using any theorems of the general course, remaining within the limits of standard mathematical training.
Determination of the critical depth of semi-blocked soil destruction with a straight cutter
Authors: Kravets Sviatoslav , Suponiev Volodymyr , Forsiuk Serhii
Published: October 2023

Problem. This scientific article is devoted to the method of determining the critical depth of soil destruction for the conditions of semi-blocked and semi-blocked asymmetric cutting (with a retaining wall on one side of the cutter) is considered. Goal. The purpose of this work is to create a method for determining the critical depth of soil cutting with a straight knife in the conditions of semi-blocked asymmetric cutting and to establish the regularities of the influence of the geometric parameters of the cutter and the physical and mechanical properties of the soil on it. Methodology. In the course of the study, the method of analytical calculation of parameters was used. Results. The calculations carried out in the paper show that when the cutting angle of the knife is reduced from 50° to 20°, the relative chipping depth increases. For soils with similar physical and mechanical properties, but with different moisture content, the relative depth decreases with increasing moisture content. Such a dependence is also characteristic of increasing soil adhesion coefficients. With unchanged knife parameters , the relative shear depth for different soils varies in the upper tier is: for semi-blocked cutting from 4.73 to 7.32, for semi-blocked asymmetric - from 5.77 to 10.69. Thus, the geometric parameters of the soil development working body have a more significant effect on the relative depth of the shift than the physical and mechanical parameters of the soil. Practical value. The proposed technique allows for the design of new earthmoving equipment to increase its energy efficiency due to the introduction of critical-depth semi-blocked soil cutting.

Published: October 2023

Problem. For four centuries the attempts were made to take away the language from Ukrainians by various means. The structure and logic of the Ukrainian language was destroyed during the Soviet period. Ukrainian language was completely assimilated to the Russian language. A language of Ukrainian-language stickers for Russian words has been created. The features of such an artificial Ukrainian language of the Russian way of thinking, which prevailed in the Ukrainian SSR have remained to this day. Therefore, it is important and timely to restore the structure of the language.  Goal. The purpose is to acquaint the reader with the contents of the "Ukrainian Scientific Vocabulary" tutorial, which develops the principles of Ukrainian vocabulary according to the current standards of Ukraine. Methodology. Solving the tasks is based on observing the five main rules of word usage in accordance with the property by which the Ukrainian language, unlike Russian, is able to distinguish the names of actions, events, as well as their consequences, not by verbs only, but also by verbal nouns. Results. A number of words, word combinations and sentences are proposed in accordance with the latest standardized rules, which contributes to the improvement of the Ukrainian scientific style of speech and thinking. Originality/Novelty. The use of words and word combinations in accordance with the five main rules of word usage contributes to the restoration of the language structure and the development of the Ukrainian way of thinking. Practical value. The use of words and word combinations in accordance with the five main rules of word usage facilitates the perception and understanding of the text in use.
