Intertextual Adaptability of the Character of Sherlock Holmes from Literature to Film Production
Authors: Paśnik Martyna
Published: January 2023

This study explores the theme of intertextuality and adaptation between literature and film on the basis of Sherlock Holmes, the 19th/20th-century character conceived by Arthur Conan Doyle. It shows how the character has been adapted from literature into the cinematic domain on the basis of three modern TV series, including Dr. House (Heel & Toe Films/Fox, 2004), Sherlock (Hartswood Films/BBC, 2010), and Elementary (Hill of Beans/CBS, 2012). Sherlock Holmes, who first appeared in 1887, was originally featured in four novels and 56 short stories. However, since that time Holmes has been adapted for over 240 movies exploiting enormous popularity of this character in a variety of settings. The paper analyzes prototypical, basic features of Sherlock Holmes underlying its intertextual adaptability. As discussed in this study, there are four prototypical features of Sherlock Holmes, i.e. (1) outstanding powers of perception combined with intellect; (2) unconventionality in social behaviour; (3) helpful partner; and (4) ability to use scientific achievements. The paper demonstrates that Sherlock Holmes conceptualized in such a basic manner can act as successfully in modern cinematic productions as it did in late 19th-century literature.

Visual perception management in advertisements
Authors: Atasoy Seda Nur
Published: January 2023

The subconscious includes all mental events that stay out of conscious perception and have no potential to access to the level of conscious. In our present day, the conscious is one of the objects where the advertisers often use it to make hidden inducements in order to influence the behaviors of the consumers and where the desire to buy a product is created, placed in it to best market and publicize their own trademarks and products. When the consumer wants to buy a product, it is necessary that the product for which advertisement is made in the mind emerge. And, this makes us question the necessity of the visual perception management in the human brain. In daily life, thousands of information, pictures and sounds go to the memory on a daily basis, and the human brain recalls them if only they are necessary. For this reason, the advertisers develop their products with such kind of methods which could be recorded in their clientsâ€™ memory for a long time.Eighty percent of the perception is structured by the eyesight. The expert psychologists work together with the art directors within the companies where the hidden messages are produced, in order to place in the pictures such images which are to attract attention of the subconscious. Such images have certain qualities which trigger and actuate the visual perception. E.g: placing into the background the green color in order to make a product look more reddish.This study includes the way of functioning of the visual perception in the advertisements together with the examples, and researches whether the attempts to actuate and induce the human feelings and motives could in fact control the behaviors and thoughts, and whether they are right ethically.Keywords: visual perception management, advertisements, subconscious, tachistoscope, poetzle effect.Â

Slippage: Presentness and location in an art situational context between the I and Me natures of the self
Authors: Roth Gregor
Published: January 2023

Traditional art viewership is static and places a gap between viewer and art. This chasm hinders relationship between viewer and art. As such, no sense of â€˜presentnessâ€™, moments of â€˜beingâ€™, with art exists. An art situation demonstrates that employing art object(s), their Form establishing context for relational understanding, and as Installation, having Zones, necessarily reveal Order and Types that govern moments of presentness through oneâ€™s Dual Bodily Unit. Association of Zones, Objects and Ma, employs Zones to measure; peripatetic actions, proprioception to phenomenology and visa-versa; art object(s) perception and relationship; Ma as the settling into space - time intervals that affirm, as methods of engagement, moments of â€™presentnessâ€™. A â€œSlippageâ€ occurs between oneâ€™s cognitive and corporeal senses. These define interpretations via perceptions. Durational investigation establishes moments of being present. This situation facilitates and transforms; one is free to interpret, reinforcing â€˜presentnessâ€™, in the Ma of space - time; naturally occurring investigative processes are explorative and active. This produces moments where art and participant share, and, are connected within the same space - time. The I self, subjective, projective, imageless interfaces with the Me object, memory recall self, within the field of art object(s), actualizing moments of presentness. These findings suggest existence is explorative and relational and that oneâ€™s dual natures, I / Me, are fully equipped and actualized, in a world of art objects, and this art situation creates moments of presentness. Importantly, Art is now brought into a shared situation where one appreciates their â€˜beingâ€™ with Art and world.

Inventive traditionalism vs. considering tradition: The changing character of the city of Ankara
Authors: Acar Aktan , Saglam Hakan
Published: January 2023

There are different forms of Traditionalism. The most common form is the one that promotes the â€œidea of having a traditionâ€ itself as a discursive practice. The modus operandi of this form is the reproduction of the â€œimagesâ€ considered as having symbolic meanings. Despite the consensus over their â€œsymbolic communicationâ€, those images are deprived of their content that has been accumulated and articulated as a â€œtraditionâ€. The replacement of the accumulated knowledge, experience and consequently content with the â€œimageâ€ seems to initiate new traditions. It is possible to claim that it is a process of inventing those new traditions by means of â€œmade-upâ€ images of symbolic meanings.Architect has a definitive position in this process. The profession proposes a dangerous mixture of being a technician lost its authority and identity within the over exhausting construction market, which multitudes the same building image, without content, on one side, and on the other, of having the ultimate responsibility of inventing and reproducing that â€œmade-up images of traditionalismâ€.This study investigates the invention and reproduction of that made-up traditions through the transformation of urban morphology and texture of the city of Ankara with respect to the changing political and social atmosphere in Turkey.

Published: January 2023

In this study, we test the effect of public investment on private sector investment for Turkey for the period 1980-2014. There can be three different types of relationship between them. Public investment can have crowding in effect on private sector investment. That is, an increase in public investments creates same way change in private sector investments. Public investment can have crowding out effect on private sector investment. In other words, an increase in public investments decreases private sector investments Public investment can have no effect on private sector investment. We first test the existence of the relationship between them by using recently introduced unit root and cointegration tests. We test the stationarity of the variables by using Kapetanios (2005) unit root test and test the long run relationship by employing Maki (2009) cointegration test. Both of the tests allow multiple structural breaks which determined endogenously. Since we find the long run relationship between public and private sector investments we examine the type of the effect using FMOLS cointegrating model which supports evidence for the crowding-in effect.Â Â Â Â Keywords: Crowding Out Effect, Cointegration, Structural Breaks

ElmacÄ±k village where paleontological excavations was made, is established at the place where ElmacÄ±k stream opens to Tefenni basin. Â  Â  Â  Â ElmacÄ±k fossil beds, were discovered during the geomorphological studies we did in 1997. Lake containing fossil, marsh layers consisting of fillers, are located on the Formation of Burdur. These layers showing different color and texture features, are tilted 10-15 degrees to the east-southeast direction by tectonic movements affecting region. Due to subsidence and rising as a cause of tectonic reasons, this layer series are located at different altitudes. ElmacÄ±k fossil beds insitu situation have mostly fossil localities. Secondary fossils are also observed in some layer series. Secondary fossil finds, consists of horn and bone oms belonging to various species lived in earlier periods. ElmacÄ±k vertebrate fossil bed, is located between the Neogene fossil beds in TokmacÄ±k town of Isparta province and Ã–zlÃ¼ce village of MuÄŸla province in south west Anatolia., According to these findings, ElmacÄ±k fossil bed shows a bed feature where comparisons can be made in view of the spread and migration of the upper Neogene faunal species. Between 2006 - 2009, excavations were made in five localities in ElmacÄ±k fossil beds. Through this excavations, the presence of twelve different macro species were identified in the region, macro proboscidians being in the first place. Among the excavated fossils, defense tooth of South Mamut, has been the largest ivory ever found in Turkey.

Empirical Assessment of the Eurozone Monetary Policy Transmission in Latvia
Authors: Balina Signe , Freimane Rita
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the international transmission effects of euro area monetary policy shocks on the main economic and financial variables in Latvia in period from 2000 to 2014. Empirical assessment is made using a standard structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model of the euro area, augmented by the Latvian variables of interest (real GDP per capita, annual inflation and money market interest rate, and consecutively by additional variables: real private consumption per capita, investments, exports and imports, various loan interest rates and real wages). The estimated SVAR model shows that a negative monetary policy shock in the euro area has a strong and persistent effect on Latvian economy via interest rate and foreign demand channels. The main results shown by impulse response functions suggest that the estimated reaction of Latvian variables is several times stronger than the reaction of euro area aggregates. Volatility of reactions can be explained by the small size and high openness level of Latvian economy.Â Â Â Â Keywords: Monetary transmission; Euro area; Structural VARÂ

Authors: El-Hmoudovaa Dagmar
Published: January 2023

Language education especially on tertiary level has always been in need of pedagogically effective teaching materials. Innovated, teacher-made materials can not only respond to current events and local context, but they can also be directed much more effectively toward the interests and needs of particular learners. In this paper we emphasize creative and interactive approaches to English as a second language teaching, and offer a broad range of strategies and techniques with respect to our students' learning style preferences. Based on our research within a group of 104 students of Management and Tourism, we present multiple modalities and innovative materials administered to our students in the University Blackboard LMS. We explore any evidence regarding how innovated study materials can enhance acquisition of language skills and whether students react positively and improve their language proficiency.Â Keywords: TELL; learning style preferences; Blackboard; innovated materialsÂ Â Â

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) belongs to the most widely used personality measures, but its associations with decision-making were rarely explicitly studied. Relationships between MBTI personality types and decision-making competencies were the object of interest in present study. 121 high school (age 15-16) and university students (age 19-25) completed MBTI test and Adult Decision-Making Competence to assess their personality and decision-making competence. Correlation analysis and analysis of variance were used to investigate the relationship between personality and decision-making competence. Correlation analysis revealed that only five of 48 relationships between eight personality dimensions on the one hand and six decision-making competencies on the other hand were significant. Similar results were found by the relationship between decision-making competencies and new variables created as the differences between two opposite dimensions. No differences in decision-making competencies were significant by the comparison of four basic MBTI types. MBTI personality types do not associate with decision-making styles. This result points out that good decision-making outcomes are not exclusive for certain personalities and can be achieved by various ways.
