Investigation of Relative Story Shifts in Buildings with Projection Irregularities at Different Ratios
Authors: ÖZYURT Muhammet Zeki , DEMİR Emir
Published: June 2023

There are 3 major fault lines in our country, which is exposed to thousands of earthquakes every year, namely the North Anatolian Fault Line, the East Anatolian Fault Line and the West Anatolian Fault Line. Therefore, earthquake effects are more important in terms of the structural behavior of the buildings built in our country. It is very important for building safety to design buildings as regularly as possible during the design phase. However, sometimes this is not possible for reasons such as architectural designs. In the study, 6 different models with the irregularity type of A3-Existence of Projections in the Plane and the symmetric reference model were analyzed according to mode coupling. The models analyzed in the study were modeled in three dimensions from the SAP2000 program. As a result of the analysis, the relative storey drift performances of the models under the effect of earthquakes were examined. Comparisons were made in line with the results obtained from the analyzes and the relative folds of the structures with A3 irregularity type were made. Comments have been made about the effect on the displacements.

The maintenance and cleaning of photovoltaic panels is critical to ensure maximum energy output and prolong their lifespan. However, manual cleaning of large-scale solar farms is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an IoT-based robotic cleaner for efficient monitoring and cleaning of photovoltaic panels. The proposed robotic cleaner is equipped with a camera, sensors, and a cleaning mechanism. The camera captures real-time images of the solar panels, which are analyzed by an AI-based algorithm to detect and locate dirt, debris, and other obstructions. The sensors measure environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity, which are used to optimize the cleaning schedule and ensure the safety of the cleaning operation. The cleaning mechanism of the robotic cleaner is based on a high-pressure water jet that removes dirt and debris without damaging the solar panels. The water is supplied by an onboard tank and can be heated or cooled as required. The cleaning process is automated and can be controlled remotely through a web-based interface. The proposed IoT-based robotic cleaner offers several benefits compared to manual cleaning. It reduces labor costs, minimizes the risk of injury to workers, and improves the efficiency of cleaning operations. Moreover, it ensures consistent and high-quality cleaning, which leads to increased energy output and prolongs the lifespan of the solar panels. Overall, this paper presents a novel approach to automate the cleaning of photovoltaic panels using IoT and robotics technologies. The proposed solution has the potential to revolutionize the maintenance of solar farms and contribute to the development of sustainable and clean energy systems.

Published: June 2023

In this paper we studied the correlation between Nifty 50, the National Stock Exchange of India's (NSE) benchmark stock index and macroeconomic variables of Indian economy which may influence it. Our analysis uses monthly data from 1.1.2017 to 1.4.2023, published by various financial statistical platforms. We applied descriptive analysis to summarize or describe the attributes of our data set. To estimate the effect of our explanatory variables (inflation rate and interest rate) on the dependent variable (Nifty 50), we applied regression techniques. The results of this study discover that neither “Inflation rate” nor “Interest Rate” is found as a good regressor. Stock markets are essential in fostering capital formation, advancing economic progress and thus to the expansion and development of the economy, so is crucial to search for variables that influence the volatility of stock market and its development. Majority of past research go on to say that there is no universal agreement on the variables influencing the progression and fluctuations of stock market. Therefore, it is crucial to search for variables that have a big impact on its volatility.

Published: June 2023

Bloomberg's recent recognition of Vietnam as Asia’s “new tiger economy” is not coincidental. The country is experiencing a surge in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities, with foreign billionaires acquiring majority stakes in major Vietnamese enterprises. However, obstacles hinder foreign investment, mainly due to the poor and unclear quality of financial statements, as reported by the World Bank and IMF in 2014. Drawing from agency theory (Jensen and Meckling, 1976) and asymmetric information theory (Akerlof, Spence, and Stiglitz, 1970), we aim to develop a model that measures the quality of financial statement information. By consulting with experienced academics, experts, and specialists in accounting and auditing, we identify factors that impact the quality of financial statements. We employ qualitative analysis and the CFA and EFA methods to validate these impacting factors, conducting surveys with listed enterprises in Vietnam. Based on our findings, we will propose solutions to enhance the quality of financial statements. Our case study focuses on listed enterprises in the Vietnam Stock market, as it is the primary and most effective platform for attracting direct investment through M&A activities and investment funds.
‘Âmmînin Mezhebi Kendisine Danıştığı Müftînin Mezhebidir’ Kaidesi Bağlamında Günümüzde Âmmînin Taklid Meselesi
Authors: ASLAN Ömer
Published: June 2023

Sahâbe, Tâbiîn ve Etbâu’t-Tabiîn dönemlerinde dinî meselelerin büyük çoğunluğu doğrudan kaynaklardan istinbat edilmiş değildir. Zira vahiy ve Hz. Peygamber’den tevarüs edilen ve amel edilen dinî bilgi toplumda bilini-yor ve kendisiyle amel ediliyordu. Buna göre bu dönemlerde karşılaşılan yeni meselelerde ictihad-rey devreye girmiştir. İctihadî konularda ictihad ehliyetine sahip olanlar, belli bir kişi veya ekole bağlı olmadan kendi reyleriyle amel etmişlerdir. İctihad ehliyetine sahip olmayanlar ise karşılaştıkları problemler hakkında, diledikleri müftüye (âlime) danışmış ve onun verdiği hükümle amel etmişlerdir. Ancak hicri II-IV yüzyıllarda mezheplerin teşekkül edip istikrar bulmasıyla birlikte ictihad, taklid ve mezhep konuları tartışılmaya ve konu hakkında farklı görüşler ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştır. Fakihlerin bir kısmı, ictihad ehliyetine sahip olmayanların bir mezhebi taklid etmeleri gerektiğini savunurken bir kısmı da her bir mükellefin dinî işlerinde kendi ilmî kudretine göre ictihad edip vardığı sonuçla amel etmesi gerektiğini savunmuştur. Âmmî kimse için taklidin gerekli olduğunu savunanlar, âmmînin dinî-amelî hayatında bir mezhebe bağlanması gerektiğini söylerken; diğer kesim de “Âmmînin mezhebi olmaz. Onun mezhebi danıştığı müftînin mezhebidir.” kaidesinden hareket ederek âmmînin istediği âlimin görüşüyle amel edebileceğini söylemiştir. Bu çalışmada ictihad yeterliliğine sahip olmayan âmmînin dini sorumlulukları konusu incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda taklidin mahiyeti üze-rinde durulmuş ve âmmînin taklidi hakkındaki görüşler ortaya konulmuştur.

Étude Psycho-Réaliste de Quelques Romancières Africaines.
Authors: Siwoku-Awi O. F.
Published: June 2023

Introduction : L’œuvre féministe se présente tout d’abord comme réaliste du fait qu’elle dispute et représente le vraisemblable. Qu’elle soit occidentale ou américaine ou africaine, l’œuvre des femmes s’avère comme un cri du cœur revendicatif des droits des femmes. Le sort pitoyable des femmes vulnérables fait souvent le sujet de telle œuvre. Elle est érigée contre des origines de discrimination sexuelle, l’hégémonie des hommes et de la phallocratie par laquelle la gent féminine est considérée comme inférieure et façonnée pour être subordonnée à l’homme.

Objectif : Cet article est une recherche qui fait la mise au point du réalisme qui est un élément de base pour l’étude psychologique des femmes africaines et des perspectifs des écrivaines dans leurs observations de la vie féminine, et de la précarité de leur existence et leur calvaire au jour le jour non seulement en Afrique, mais partout dans le monde.

Méthodologie : C’est pour cette raison que cet article propose pour la critique des œuvres des femmes africaines, l’approche psycho réaliste. C’est une théorie développée par la chercheuse pour fournir une mise au point des motivations des auteures, les cogitations de leurs cœurs et le contexte réel de leur combat. C’est une approche critique qui privilégie l’analyse de la psychologie de l’auteure aussi bien que celle des personnages féminins afin de faire sortir leurs troubles et des raisons pour leurs choix de vie.

Découverte : Pour les femmes africaines les antécédents historiques de la colonisation que les leaders ne parviennent pas à se débarrasser pour assurer une nouvelle vie, la lutte des sexes, des enfants sans avenir et la discrimination incessante jouent sur leur psychologie personnelle et collective des Africains. Leur psychologie est reflétée dans leurs personnages ainsi rendant valable leur cri du cœur pour le respect de leurs droits.

Recommandation : Que les femmes soient impliquées dans la transformation sociale et économique de l’Afrique.  Les aléas historiques ont fait des victimes de tous les Africains, des hommes aussi bien que des femmes, alors, il faudrait une lutte concerte pour développer le continent.

Published: June 2023

Background: Analyzing classic articles or research papers that received total citations of 1000 or more has helped study the evolution of research trends and identify research gaps and future directions in a particular field. This study used a bibliometric approach to analyzing classic articles in cervical cancer research. Method: Classic articles in cervical cancer research with 1,000 or more citations from the Web of Science Core Collection from publication to the end of 2020 were analyzed using bibliometric analysis. These methods determine the document types, most productive countries, institutions, and journals for classic articles in cervical cancer research. Moreover, it also determined their research impact through the years by analyzing their citation histories. Result: We documented 46 classic cervical cancer research papers published in the Web of Science from 1983 until 2019. The CA-A Cancer Journal for Clinicians and the New England Journal of Medicine were the most productive journals that published seven classic cervical cancer articles. The USA was the most productive country, with 28 classic cervical cancer articles. The International Agency for Research on Cancer in France and the American Cancer Society in the USA were the most effective and impactful institutions in cervical cancer research. Citation histories revealed that the most important and cited papers in recent years were cancer statistics that report incidence and mortality from cervical cancer worldwide. The most impactful studies include articles on HPV as a necessary cause of cervical cancer, the discovery and development of HPV vaccines to prevent cervical cancer, and the development of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical treatment for cervical cancer. Conclusion: This study showed cervical cancer research’s most productive countries, institutions, and journals. It also demonstrated the citation history of these classic articles, which showed influential studies still relevant to cervical cancer research until recently.
International development cooperation and political risks for transnational business: Linking research topics
Authors: Bartenev V. I.
Published: June 2023

International development cooperation and political risks for transnational business are two topics which have always drawn attention from specialists in international political economy. Each of these topics is studied by a dedicated subdiscipline with a specific terminology, strong analytical centers and influential peer-reviewed journals. Despite political risks had initially been associated with developing countries (and transition economies — after the Cold War), two distinctive research clusters have developed separately from one another — quite inexplicably. Drawing on the idea of immanent proximity of international development studies and political risk analysis, this paper develops the logic of blending their research agendas.The first two sections formulate key presumptions meant to justify the conjugation of two topics. The first presumption is an acknowledgement of an engrained commercial motivation in any modality of development cooperation and the latter’s ability to serve as a tool to promote foreign economic interests. The second presumption emphasizes the existence of an indissoluble link between political risks for business with socio-economic and political development disbalances within and between countries. The final section identifies concrete dimensions of conjugation of two research agendas, such as: 1) conducting political risk assessments in the course of programming and implementing development projects; 2) examining the impact of political risk manifestations on provider countries’ ability to mobilize financial resources for international development; studying the practices of using different development cooperation tools to mitigate political risks for foreign economic activity — both through a direct and deliberate reduction of risk perceived by business and through an indirect impact on the environment where political risks are formed; 4) exploring the logic of emergence of new risk factors (of various types) in the course of implementing development cooperation policies. The conclusion argues for focusing on the reverse impact of new trends in international development cooperation on the parameters of political risks for international business from the Western and non-Western countries amidst the global turbulence, using all available sources of statistical data — conventional and unconventional. It also draws a step-by-step research plan and assesses the theoretical and policy relevance of obtaining anticipated results.

Objective: To compare the frequency of a good functional outcome in unstable per-trochanteric fractures fixed with a dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail using the Harris Hip Score.Â 
Methodology: A comparative study was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, from June to December 2021. A total of 80 patients with per-trochanteric femur fractures were selected and divided into two groups based on the surgical procedure performed: dynamic hip screw or proximal femoral nail. A comprehensive history and thorough examination were performed for all patients during scheduled follow-up visits. Patients were called in for follow-up assessments at 1 month and 3 months to evaluate the functional outcomes using the Harris Hip Score.
Results: The mean age of all patients was 58.73Â±6.78 years. At the 3-month follow-up, the mean Harris Hip Score was significantly higher in the proximal femoral nail group compared to the dynamic hip screw group (84.64Â±7.05 vs. 73.9Â±12.53; p = 0.005). The proportion of patients with good functional outcomes (Harris Hip Score â‰¥ 70 points) was significantly higher in the proximal femoral nail group compared to the dynamic hip screw group (97.5% vs. 72.5%, p = 0.002).
Conclusion: In this study, the proximal femoral nail group demonstrated superior functional outcomes compared to the dynamic hip screw group. The use of proximal femoral nail fixation can provide better outcomes and facilitate an earlier return to pre-injury status for patients.

Published: June 2023

This study investigates the effectiveness of innovative teaching strategies designed to enhance student motivation and engagement in a compulsory Physical Geography of the Iberian Peninsula course taught to first-year history students at the University of Seville. The paper outlines the challenges faced in teaching large and diverse groups of students, and the need to develop instructional approaches that accommodate various learning preferences and academic backgrounds. The re-search evaluates the impact of the implemented strategies on students' perception of the subject matter, with a specific focus on the shift in rankings from the beginning to the end of the academic year. The findings demonstrate a significant improvement in students' appreciation for the subject, as evidenced by a decrease in the percentage of students who ranked the course as their least preferred (from 40.7% to 4.9%) and an increase in the percentage who ranked it as their most preferred (from 0% to 11.1%). The study concludes that the adoption of motivational strategies, including active learning techniques, collaborative tasks, and personalized feedback, can lead to substantial improvements in student engagement and overall learning outcomes in a compulsory university course. The implications for teaching practice and future research are discussed.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of peripheral blood parameters and the systemic inflammatory index (SII) in the diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and whether they have a predictive value in determining the length of hospital stay and the risk of rehospitalization in HG cases. Materials and methods: In the retrospective study, pregnant women who were hospitalized due to HG (n = 112) and pregnant women who were completely healthy (n = 112) were matched for gestational age. Peripheral blood inflammation parameters of the entire study group were evaluated. The length of hospital stay and rehospitalization rate for HG cases were recorded. A total of 224 patients, 112 (50%) in the control group and 112 (50%) in the HG group were included in the study. There was a positive correlation between increased ketonuria and length of hospitalization, peripheric blood parameters, and SII. The degree of ketonuria was found to be statistically insignificant in determining the risk of rehospitalization (p = 0.927). About 28.57% (n = 32) of all HG cases were readmitted to the hospital. When the length of hospital stay was considered, SII was found to be statistically significant in hospitalizations lasting more than 2 days (p = 0.001), but not in rehospitalizations (p = 0.3). Conclusion: SII is significant in diagnosing and determining hospitalization of HG. It is sufficient to determine the length of hospital stay but not rehospitalization risk, which is an indicator of disease severity. Key words: hyperemesis gravidarum – hospitalization – inflammation markers – systemic inflammatory index
The Riddle
Authors: van Dalen-Oskam Karina
Published: June 2023

This chapter introduces the project The Riddle of Literary Quality in
which computational text analysis methods were applied to help understand
what makes contemporary novels literary or not in the eyes of their readers. The
chapter concisely describes the institutional approach of Bourdieu’s sociology of
art, the new sociology of art in which the artwork itself is placed back into the
picture, and neo-Darwinian thoughts about art. Next follows a short overview
of the affordances of computational literary studies and of the empirical study
of literature. All disciplines together form the background against which The
Riddle of Literary Quality took a totally new, combined approach to research
into literary value attribution.
Literary Novels Written by Women
Authors: van Dalen-Oskam Karina
Published: June 2023

Literary novels written by female authors received lower scores
for literary quality than those written by male authors. In this chapter, the
literary novels written by women are analysed, starting with translations
and then followed by Dutch originals. Cluster analysis using Burrows’ Delta,
principal components analysis (PCA), and keyword analysis are applied to
explore differences in word usage and word frequencies between highly rated
and lowly rated novels in order to find out whether these may explain the
ratings. Among the translations, Emma Donoghue’s Room and Elizabeth Gilbert’s
Eat, Pray, Love receive special attention. Works by Dutch authors Margriet de
Moor, Marente de Moor, Naima El-Bezaz, and Renate Dorrestein are described
in more detail.
Style, Gender, and Genre
Authors: van Dalen-Oskam Karina
Published: June 2023

This chapter sums up which textual features beyond words were analysed
and how they may play a role in readers’ evaluation of literary quality. It discusses
sentence structures, parts of speech (PoS), bigrams, and cliché expressions. It
describes how topic modelling was used to analyse thematic differences and
how predictive modelling was applied to explore which textual and contextual
features most influenced the ratings for literary quality. Mean sentence length,
in number of words per sentence, proved to be a very good indicator. Next, Dutch
Literary novels by women and men are compared in several computational ways
and the influence of the author’s gender on readers’ perceptions is described in
more detail. Finally, the feedback loop of genre is discussed.
Counter-Hispanization in the Colonial Philippines
Authors: Blanco John
Published: June 2023

In Counter-Hispanization in the Colonial Philippines, the author analyzes the literature and politics of “spiritual conquest” in order to demonstrate how it reflected the contribution of religious ministers to a protracted period of social anomie throughout the mission provinces between the 16th-18th centuries. By tracking the prose of spiritual conquest with the history of the mission in official documents, religious correspondence, and public controversies, the author shows how, contrary to the general consensus in Philippine historiography, the literature and pastoral politics of spiritual conquest reinforced the frontier character of the religious provinces outside Manila in the Americas as well as the Philippines, by supplanting the (absence of) law in the name of supplementing or completing it. This frontier character accounts for the modern reinvention of native custom as well as the birth of literature and theater in the Tagalog vernacular.
Transmedia Terrors in Post-TV Horror
Authors: Rendell James
Published: June 2023

In the twenty-first century horror television has spread across the digital TV landscape, garnering mainstream appeal. Located within a transmedia matrix, Transmedia Terrors in Post-TV Horror triangulates this boom across screen content, industry practices, and online participatory cultures. Understanding the genre within a post-TV paradigm, the book readdresses what is horror television, analysing not only broadcast TV and streaming platforms but also portals such as YouTube, Twitch.TV, and apps. The book also investigates complex digital media ecologies, blurring distinctions between niche and general audience viewing practices, and fostering new circulation pathways for horror television from around the world. Undertaking netnography, the book further offers an innovative model – abject spectrums – to empirically explore myriad audience responses to TV horror, manifesting in various participatory practices including writing, imagery, and crafts. As such, the book greatly expands what is considered horror television, its formatting and circulation, and the transmedia materiality of audience engagement.
Streaming Screaming: Post-Television
Horror Texts and Platforms
Authors: Rendell James
Published: June 2023

This chapter advances what is post-TV horror. This begins with Netflix
releasing its first original TV horror series Hemlock Grove in full that
encourages binge-viewing, bluring cult and mainstream viewership.
The chapter explores horror film-to-TV transmedia using three case
studies – Ash vs Evil Dead, The Purge, and Scream – evidencing myriad
transmedia memories. The chapter analyses online streaming and portal
interfaces employing televisual discourse: YouTube Premium’s Fight of the
Living Dead combines micro-celebrity influencers with reality TV generics.
Twitch.TV allows audiences to watch others play horror videogames,
evoking traditional TV liveness and ephemerality. Shudder documentaries
interpellate cult fans, creating what I term ‘emic authenticity’, however,
the portal loses its broadcast feature when reconfigured into a ‘channel’
on Amazon Prime’s aggregational app.
Spreadable Splatter: TV Horror’s
Online Fans’ Image Textuality
Authors: Rendell James
Published: June 2023

This chapter further applies the abject spectrum model, examining
viewers’ creative output whereby social media imagery evidence affective
responses to TV horror. This examines shifting In the Flesh
fans’ images relative to the status of the show. Visual verif iers to
Black audiences’ ideological readings of The Walking Dead, memes
remix textual content that centres on Black male characters. Making
aesthetic connections between diegetic imagery and fine art, fans’
Tumblr GIFs of Hannibal provide what I term ‘intertextural poaching’.
Other imagery reifies queer subtext by remixing scenes, creating GIF
fic, and original fanart. The latter, presents aesthetic incongruity that
makes the horrifying comedic. Finally, fans of Miike Takashi’s ‘Imprint’
curate screengrabs that indicate affective responses, positioning the
episode as quality TV.
Sick Senses: Fan Food and Soundtracks
as Materialities of Transmedia TV
Horror
Authors: Rendell James
Published: June 2023

This chapter explores tactile transmedia as a significant aspect of official
TV horror content and fan-made transtexts, arguing abject spectrums
shape audiences’ crafted content. The chapter analyses official TV horror
cookbooks as tentpole texts, unofficial cookbooks bestowed with creative
freedom, and fan-authored comestibles that employ the abject gaze where
food is both disgusting and delicious. The chapter then locates horror TV
soundtracks within the twenty-first century boom in vinyl collecting,
engendering audio-centric quality TV discourse. Furthermore, transmedia
fosters co-branding between portals making TV horror and record labels
distributing soundtracks via shifting configurations of textual clustering.
Finally, the chapter examines fans’ mockup designs of TV horror
soundtracks, employing what I term ‘paratextural poaching’, adopting
aesthetic congruity between transtexts and official media.
