Mitolojik Kadın Ktisteslere Bir Örnek Olarak Sinope
Authors: YILDIRIM Nazli
Published: December 2020

Bugüne kadar elde edilen epigrafik ve arkeolojik veriler, antik kentlerin kuruluşunda mitolojik hikayelerin önemli bir yerinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Anadolu, Yunanistan ya da İtalya'da antik dönemde kurulmuş olan pek çok kent, kökenlerini güçlü bir tanrı ya da mitolojik kahramana dayandırarak, diğer kentler arasında ayrıcalıklı ve prestijli bir konuma sahip olmaya çalışmıştır. Başlangıçta kent kurmak eril bir faaliyet olarak kabul edildiği için kentlerin ktistes olarak genellikle erkek bir kahraman veya tanrıyı seçtikleri; bölge ya da kentin onların adı ile anıldığı görülür. Ancak bu geleneğin zamanla değişime uğradığı; kent kurucu olarak kadın karakterlerin seçilebildiği ve kentlere önemli kadınların isimlerinin verildiği de görülmektedir. Konu ile ilgili olarak özellikle Klasik Dönem'den itibaren Tanrıçalar, Amazonlar ve Nympheler, kentlerin kuruluş mitosunda adı geçen ve kentlere isimlerini veren önemli mitolojik ktistesler olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Karadeniz kıyı şeridinde, Anadolu'nun en kuzey noktasında yer alan Sinope'nin doğal limanlarıyla ticari bir öneme sahip olması Miletos, Korinth ya da Atina gibi önemli ve büyük kentler tarafından bölgede koloni kurma faaliyetlerini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Koloni hareketleri ile paralel olarak kentin pek çok kuruluş mitosu ve ktistesi bulunmaktadır. Antik kaynaklarda kurucu olarak Autolykos, Deileon ve Phlogios adında Yunanlı ktisteslerin yanı sıra Habrondas, Koos ve Kretines adında Miletoslu erkek ktisteslerin adı geçmesine rağmen kentin adını Sinope adında bir kadın ktistesten aldığı kabul edilir. Antik kaynaklar Sinope'nin bir Amazon ya da bir Nymphe olduğu konusunda ikiye ayrılırlar. Bu çalışma içerisinde Sinope adlı kadın ktistesin kökeni, kişiliği ve önemi, antik kaynaklar ve ilgili betimlemeler göz önünde bulundurularak yeniden değerlendirmeye alınmıştır.
The Evaluation of the effectiveness of High-Dividend Strategies in the US Market
Authors: Stolyarov Andrej , Sorokin Ilya
Published: December 2020

During the 1980s and 1990s, economists investigated a set of phenomena called market anomalies. One of the strategies based on market anomalies was a high-yield investment strategy where the main criterion for share selection is their high dividend yield. This paper tests the hypothesis that the anomaly associated with high dividend stocks, which was detected in the American market until the beginning of the 21st century, has ceased to exist at present, and also examines the possibility of improving the results of highly dividend strategies by modifying them.

Authors: Rossokhin Vladimir , Ryabova Elena
Published: December 2020

Understanding the organization's life-cycle theory (hereinafter OLC) should allow different stakeholders to study and analyze differences in resources, investment levels, production capacities, etc. According to the concept of the life cycle, each stage of development is characterized by its organizational and financial characteristics, «crises», problems, tasks. Proceeding from this, it is advisable to consider the stages of the life cycle as a function that depends on a certain set of determinants. The goal of this research is - to identify the factors on the basis of which it becomes possible to understand the company's movement through the stages of the life cycle, using the model of ordered choice. With the help of the results obtained, investors and other interested persons will be able to estimate the probability of finding an organization at a certain stage of development on the basis of publicly available information and take a more reasonable management decision, since there are significant differences in the characteristics of companies for each stage.

Authors: Lai Xiaoquan , Zhou Qian , Zhang Xinping , Tan Li
Published: December 2020

Introduction: The outbreak of COVID-19 has spread worldwide. The evidence about risk factors of healthcare workers who infected COVID-19 is limited. This study aims to describe characteristics and influencing factors of the COVID-19 infection in healthcare workers.

Methodology: The study was performed among COVID-19 infected and uninfected healthcare workers in three hospitals in Wuhan. A total of 325 healthcare workers participated; among them 151 COVID-19-infected healthcare workers were included. Characteristics of infected healthcare workers, and influencing factors including exposure histories, the use of protective equipment in different risk conditions and areas, perceptions, emotions, satisfactions and educations were described and analyzed.

Results: Healthcare workers got infected clustered mostly in the physical examination center. When performing general operations on confirmed or suspected patients, the use of protective equipment including the effectiveness of masks (p < 0.001), gloves (p < 0.001); and the use of gloves (p < 0.001), suits (p < 0.001), gowns (p < 0.001), shoe covers (p < 0.001), and hats (p < 0.001) were protective factors. The use of protective equipment was a protective factor in most cases. Negative emotions and dissatisfaction to the hospital response were associated with the increased risk of infection.

Conclusions: The use of protective equipment, emotions and satisfactions to hospital responses are key COVID-19-infected factors. The awareness, the supply and the use of protective equipment, the layout of departments and other environmental and management factors should be strictly equipped. In addition, hospitals should also pay attention to emotions and satisfaction of healthcare workers.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Saudi Arabia has successfully reduced malaria cases to be constrained largely in the western regions. This study aimed to determine the epidemiological trends of malaria infection in five western regions of Saudi Arabia.

Methodology: A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate the epidemiological trends of malaria infection in the western regions, based on the published registry of the Saudi Ministry of Health, during the period from 2014 to 2017 using the appropriate statistical tools.

Results: A total of 8925 confirmed cases of malaria were reported in the western regions during the period from 2014 to 2017 with the mean of 2231 malaria cases per year. The minimum (n = 1097) and maximum (n = 4075) number of cases were reported in 2014 and 2016 respectively. The highest (n = 5919, 66.3%) number of cases were reported from Jazan region, while lowest (n = 86, 1.0%) number of cases were reported from Al-Bahah region. Plasmodium falciparum was the most frequently reported species with 7485 (83.9%) cases, while Plasmodium vivax accounted 1386 (15.5%) cases. Plasmodium malariae and mixed infections were insignificant and accounted 0.5% (n = 48) and 0.1% (n = 6) cases respectively. In relation to malaria infection and age group, malaria was predominant in > 15 age group. The highest number of malaria cases in almost all years was observed from January until March and the lowest number was reported from May until July.

Conclusions: Plasmodium falciparum was the most dominant species in this survey and Jazan was the most affected region.
Aircraft noise level calculation during take-off
Authors: Georgieva Hristina
Published: December 2020

A mathematical model with 4 degree of freedom created in Matlab for aircraft departure trajectory is described in this article. As a reference aircraft a midsize commercial passenger aircraft similar to an Airbus A320 has been chosen. The aircraft is represented by the rigid body and the parameters of model are collected from Airbus and the simulated departure trajectory at the Munich airport is based on a Standard Instrumental Departure. A semi-empirical model of Stone for predicting the jet noise has been used. The proposed model is validated against 10 real flights obtained from aircraft noise and flight track monitoring system at Munich airport. The computed error between the real data and modelling is reported on. Obtained results are presented numerical and graphically. The observed effects of flight operational parameters affecting the aircraft noise emission level during take-off represent subjects of discussions in the paper.

A global food plant dataset for wild silkmoths and hawkmoths and its use in documenting polyphagy of their caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea: Saturniidae, Sphingidae)
Authors: Ballesteros Mejia Liliana , Arnal Pierre , Hallwachs Winnie , Haxaire Jean , Janzen Daniel , Kitching Ian , Rougerie Rodolphe
Published: December 2020

Herbivorous insects represent a major fraction of global biodiversity and the relationships they have established with their food plants range from strict specialists to broad generalists. Our knowledge of these relationships is of primary importance to basic (e.g. the study of insect ecology and evolution) and applied biology (e.g. monitoring of pest or invasive species) and yet remains very fragmentary and understudied. In Lepidoptera, caterpillars of families Saturniidae and Sphingidae are rather well known and considered to have adopted contrasting preferences in their use of food plants. The former are regarded as being rather generalist feeders, whereas the latter are more specialist.

To assemble and synthesise the vast amount of existing data on food plants of Lepidoptera families Saturniidae and Sphingidae, we combined three major existing databases to produce a dataset collating more than 26,000 records for 1256 species (25% of all species) in 121 (67%) and 167 (81%) genera of Saturniidae and Sphingidae, respectively. This dataset is used here to document the level of polyphagy of each of these genera using summary statistics, as well as the calculation of a polyphagy score derived from the analysis of Phylogenetic Diversity of the food plants used by the species in each genus.
A classification system for predicting invasiveness using climatic niche traits and global distribution models: application to alien plant species in Chile
Authors: Bustamante Ramiro O. , Alves Lúa , Goncalves Estefany , Duarte Milen , Herrera Ileana
Published: December 2020

Functional traits that predict plant invasiveness are a central issue in invasion ecology. However, in many cases they are difficult to determine, especially for a large set of species. Climatic niche traits can overcome this problem due to the ease of acquiring them for a large number of species. This effort is critical given that knowledge of species invasiveness is necessary (although not sufficient) to anticipate/manage invasive species.

In this study, we examined thermal and hydric niche traits to predict plant invasiveness. We used a set of 49 alien plant species, representative of the alien flora of Chile. Niche traits were obtained using environmental information (WorldClim) and global occurrences. Invasiveness was estimated using global niche models and projection of the potential distribution in Chile. As a final step, we reviewed the literature for a subset of species, documenting their impacts on a) biodiversity, b) crop agriculture and c) livestock.

Thermal niche breadth and thermal niche position were the most important niche traits to predict potential distribution (a proxy of invasiveness). Using thermal niche breadth and niche position traits, we constructed a graphical model that classifies alien species as highly invasive (wide thermal niche breadth and low niche position) or low potential to be invasive (narrow niche breadth and high niche position). We also found no association between our invasiveness classification and the documented impact of alien species.

Published: December 2020

Le cartésianisme nous offre une philosophie générale ouverte sur deux déterminations : une détermination formelle, comme apprentissage du jugement ( méthode ), et une détermination matérielle, comme science des premiers objets offerts à l’entendement et indéterminés dans leur nombre ( métaphysique ). Ces deux voies ont été et demeurent structurantes pour la philosophie elle-même.
Ce qu’enseigne la comparaison entre les philosophies européenne, chinoise et japonaise du XVIII e s. sur les rapports de la philosophie à la culture savante
Authors: Citot Vincent
Published: December 2020

Le XVIII e  siècle correspond à une période exceptionnelle dans les histoires des philosophies européenne, chinoise et japonaise. C’est en effet à cette époque qu’apparaît une nouvelle classe de libres penseurs renouvelant puissamment la vie intellectuelle, que la réflexion se tourne vers l’étude de la nature et de la société en adoptant un état d’esprit positif et, enfin, qu’un nouveau type de savoir sur l’homme se dessine qui prendra peu après la forme des « sciences humaines ». Aussi bien en Europe qu’en Chine et au Japon, les grands penseurs du XVIII e  siècle sont identiquement philosophes et savants. Or dès les années 1775-1800, le nombre de ces philosophes-savants décline brusquement tandis que les sciences franchissent un cap décisif dans la voie de l’autonomisation disciplinaire. Il s’agit de comprendre comment s’est opéré la séparation science-philosophie et quelles en sont les conséquences pour la vitalité de la production philosophique.
Vaccine Development: From Laboratory to Policy
Authors: Park Hee Su , Samuels Eliana L. , Bocchini Joseph A.
Published: December 2020

Vaccines are one of the greatest public health achievements, protecting children and adults against numerous infectious diseases; however, the complex, rigorous process of vaccine development is unknown to many. A candidate vaccine undergoes extensive evaluation of safety and efficacy to meet licensure requirements before recommendations for use become policy. This time-consuming process involves an intricate collaboration among academia, public and private organizations, and federal agencies to ensure that safety is prioritized in every step. Vaccine safety continues to be monitored after licensure through a robust system. Yet, vaccine hesitancy remains a major challenge, especially now with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and concerns about the speed with which candidate vaccines are being developed. This article reviews the vaccine development process and the systems in place to ensure safety and effectiveness. A better understanding of these topics is necessary to address concerns and improve public acceptance of all vaccines, particularly COVID-19 vaccines.

Published: December 2020

In this paper, an inequality for a transfer function is obtained assuming that its residues at the poles located on the imaginary axis in the right half plane. In addition, the extremal function of the proposed inequality is obtained by performing sharpness analysis. To interpret the results of analyses in terms of control theory, root-locus curves are plotted. According to the results, marginally and asymptotically stable transfer functions can be determined using the obtained extremal function in the proposed theorem.

Entangled Inheritances: Confraternities as Ritual Heirs. Some Examples from the Misericórdia of Porto (16th-17th Centuries)
Authors: Sá Isabel dos Guimarães
Published: December 2020

In the Portuguese inheritance system only kin in vertical line were mandatory heirs, thus creating a pool of heirless testators who could dispose freely of their assets. Not only the institutions of the Catholic Church benefitted from them, but also confraternities such as the Misericórdias received property in exchange for salvific rituals such as masses for their souls or charity to the poor. The analysis of single case studies from the Misericórdia of Porto demonstrates that in case of litigation the court favoured the confraternity, on account of its role as provider of charity to the poor. However, the fact that the Misericórdia was under the king’s protection also meant that the latter could use inheritance money in case of financial crisis.
Les biens des émigrants. Représentation et interchangeabilité dans des communautés de la Suisse italienne (xviie-xviiie siècles)
Authors: Chiesi Ermotti Francesca
Published: December 2020

Cette contribution étudie le fonctionnement de communautés concernées par les départs des émigrants dans les bailliages communs de l’ancienne Confédération helvétique sous l’Ancien Régime. Ces territoires soumis à la domination de douze des treize cantons confédérés pendant l’époque moderne (aujourd’hui Suisse italienne) représentent un cadre privilégié pour l’étude des phénomènes migratoires et des enjeux de l’absence. Bénéficiant d’une certaine autonomie à l’égard des cantons souverains, les communautés jouissent de compétences importantes leur permettant d’intervenir dans la gestion des biens des émigrants, ainsi que dans leur représentation. Les décisions prises par les assemblées vicinales attestent d’une implication active dans la tutelle des maisons, en confiant la représentation des absents en particulier à des familles de notables. La délégation que ces dernières reçoivent de représenter les émigrants leur confère une autorité considérable, puisqu’elles obtiennent la faculté de préserver des patrimoines et des droits menacés par l’absence. L’interchangeabilité des membres de la communauté assure ainsi l’accomplissement des obligations réciproques et le maintien des liens sociaux dans un contexte de mobilité accrue.

Supply Chain Management practices: Competitive Advantage and Organizational Performance in Sri Lankan Construction Industry
Authors: Gunawardana T. S. L. W. , Wedage D. H.
Published: December 2020

In the construction industry supply chain management (SCM) is a vital tool in controlling business processes in a defined and a systematic way to improve quality, time management and increase profit. Effective supply chain management has become a potentially valuable method of securing and improving competitive advantage and organizational performance since competition no longer between organizations, but between global organizations and among supply chains. This paper aims to investigate the impact of supply chain management practices on competitive advantage and organizational performance in the construction industry, Sri Lanka, due to the lack of application of supply chain management practices to determine the organizational performance in the competitive environment. Further, this study focuses five SCM practices: strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship, level of information sharing, quality of information sharing, and postponement to investigate what supply chain management is, how it works in increase competitive advantage and what are its dynamics. Six hypotheses were developed based on the constructed conceptual framework derived from the supply chain management literature. The data were collected over the survey technique by randomly administering structured questionnaires from 198 respondents of construction management teams and different sub-contractors. First Multiple regression analysis was performed to explore the impact of five supply chain management practices on competitive advantage and organizational performance in the construction industry and the analysis was carried out the factor analysis to explore the significance of supply chain management dimensions. The results of the regression analysis indicated that all SCM variables have a positive impact on competitive advantages and organizational performance of the construction industry in Sri Lanka. Moreover, it suggested that the strategic supplier partnership was the most significant SCM variable which determines the competitive advantage and level of information sharing variable was the less significant variable towards competitive advantage. The results of this study provide new insights to the construction companies to better understand the significant role that SCM variables play in respect to the competitive advantages and organizational performance in Sri Lanka. The study has outlined to examine the five SCM variables in construction industry. Hence future study can be outlined to further examine the impact of SCM on competitive advantages in other industries. Moreover, the future study can be outlined to further examine the impact of SCM variables in different dimensions especially including customer perspective in respect to human variables. Besides, this study was based on the limited large-scale construction companies operated in Sri Lanka and ignore the small and medium scale supermarkets.
Experimental Investigation of Rotors Hovering above Inclined Surfaces
Authors: Milluzzo Joseph I. , Martinez Aaron , Drayton Scott , Davids Scott
Published: December 2020

Particle image velocity measurements were taken to document the wake generated by a rotor operating in ground effect above inclined surfaces. In particular, the current work focused on the average wake structure and axial velocity distribution through the rotor. A two-bladed rotor was operated at a height of one rotor radius above a ground plane that was inclined at angles from 0° to 30°. Rotor performance measurements were also taken, using a six-axis load cell, to examine the effect ground plane angle had on the thrust produced and power required. The wake structure was found to be very sensitive to ground plane angle causing the radial distribution of axial velocity through the rotor to increase inboard and decrease outboard with increasing ground plane angle. As compared to the level ground case, the peak figure of merit of the rotor decreased by approximately 10% for a ground plane inclination angle of 30°.
The determination of thorium in ores by the column method
Authors: Guest R J
Published: December 2020

The report describes a method for the determination of thorium in radioactive ores. Thorium nitrate and uranyl nitrate are extracted with ether containing nitric acid in the presence of activated alumina and activated cellulose contained in a water-jacketed glass
column. Uranium and thorium are then separated by a second column extraction using different concentrations of ether-nitric solvent, or by an oxalate precipitation of thorium. The thorium is finally precipitated as the oxalate and the precipitate ignited and weighed as thorium oxide. Microgram
amounts of thorium can be determined colorimetrically with 1-(o-arsonophenylazo) -2-naphthol-3, 6-disulphonic acid. This method is used in conjunction with the column method when the amount of thorium oxide in the sample is one percent or less. Samples containing as low as 0.001 percent thorium
oxide can be analysed successfully. By using lanthanum as a carrier, small amounts of thorium may be recovered by means of an oxalate precipitation. The method compares favourably in rapidity and accuracy with other analytical methods for the determination of thorium in
ores.
The colorimetric determination of copper with 2,2-diquinolyl in minerals and ores
Authors: Guest R J
Published: December 2020

A colorimetric procedure for the determination of copper with 2,2-diquinolyl (cuproine) is described. The method is based upon the fact that cuproine forms an intensely coloured purple complex with cuprous ions, the colour of the complex bearing a linear
relationship to the copper present. The reagent is specific for monovalent copper. Ions which are themselves coloured do not interfere as the copper-cuproine complex is extracted with amyl alcohol from a weakly acid solution. The effect of pH and shaking time on the extraction was found to be
important. Optimum conditions for complete extraction of the complex are indicated. The method, being very rapid and simple in execution, is especially suited for routine work.
Master sieves at the mines branch for standardization of the sieves of the mining industry
Authors: Brannen J , Djingheuzian L E
Published: December 2020

At the request of the mining industry the ore dressing laboratories of the Mines Branch undertook to establish master sieves for standardization of sieves of the mining industry. The purpose of this work was to establish a standardized screening technique, thus
placing all the operators of grinding plants on one basis of sizing. Three sieves of each of the following Tyler meshes were purchased: 48, 65, 100, 150, 200, 270 and 325. The Lake Shore method of standardizing the above testing sieves was used. After a series of self-checking tests with each sieve
was made, the three sieves of each mesh were marked in the order of their decreasing fineness as master screen No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. Three different ores were used for standardization of the 48, 65 and 100 mesh sieves, and four different ores for the 150, 200, 270 and 325 mesh screens. In the
concluding paragraphs of the report, the results are summarized, conclusions are drawn, and suggestions are made to mill operators who wish ta have their screens standardized.

The double dispersion operator in backscattering: Hölder estimates and optimal Sobolev estimates for radial potentials
Authors: Meroño Cristóbal J.
Published: December 2020

We study the problem of recovering the singularities of a potential

q

from backscattering data. In particular, we prove two new different estimates for the double dispersion operator

Q_2

of backscattering, the first nonlinear term in the Born series. In the first, by measuring the regularity in the Hölder scale, we show that there is a one derivative gain in the integrablity sense for suitably decaying potentials

q\in W^{\beta,2}(\mathbb{R}^n)

with

\beta \ge (n-2)/2

and

n \ge 3

. In the second, we give optimal estimates in the Sobolev scale for

Q_2(q)

when

n\ge 2

and

q

is radial. In dimensions 2 and 3 this result implies an optimal result of recovery of singularities from the Born approximation.

Street vendors supply large quantities of food at affordable prices in many places especially in developing countries. Street foods are common sources of bacteriological contamination causing food poisoning, diarrhea, cholera and typhoid fever. This study analyzed the bacteriological quality of ready-to-eat foods vended in Morogoro Municipal Market. A total of 70 samples from different street foods were randomly collected from different vendors and transported in cool boxes to the laboratory for bacteriological analysis. Standard microbiological methods were used for isolation, enumeration and identification of bacteria. Additional information regarding food preparation, storage and handling practices observed by vendors was noted to correlate with the extent of bacterial contamination. Majority (67.1%) of the ready to eat foods were contaminated with bacteria. Vegetable salads and Potato fries showed highest bacterial contamination rates (78.6%). Escherichia coli (49.2%) was the major isolate in all food types. Other bacteria isolated were Bacillus cereus (19.7%), Staphylococcus aureus (14.8%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.8%) and Salmonella spp. (1.6%). E. coli was resistant to some antimicrobials (carbenicilin, clindamycin and tetracycline). High levels of bacterial contamination were associated with poor hygiene of vendors, unsafe food handling practices and use of contaminated water in food preparation.  Although the presence of the microorganisms is not necessarily a threat to human health, the fact that some microorganisms were resistant to some antibiotics is of concern. Provision of sanitation and hygiene education to vendors and regulations for implementation of good hygienic practices can improve quality of street foods
Anarquismo y positivismo en Manuel González Prada: elementos para pensar la construcción de la ciudadanía
Authors: Lara-Amat y León Joan
Published: December 2020

En el presente artículo, realizamos una reflexión sobre los aportes de Manuel González Prada a una nueva ciudadanía. Si bien a MGP se le estudia en el campo literario, es importante y fundamental su estudio en la Filosofía Política y en el Pensamiento Político. MGP parte de una crítica a la tradición y, tras su viaje a Europa y su estancia en Barcelona, reforzará una crítica renovada fundada en el positivismo, como marco de conocimiento, y en el anarquismo, como propuesta sociopolítica. Ello le permitirá analizar los problemas de su sociedad a través de los hechos sociales, en especial de las desigualdades económicas. Una crítica previa y necesaria para la posibilidad de construcción de una ciudadanía.

Bu çalışmada, Çorum ilinde, çeltik tarımında makina kullanım
projeksiyonu tahminlemesi yapılmıştır. Çorum ilinde çeltik üretim
mekanizasyonu aşamalarında kullanılan teknolojinin 11 yıllık
üretim ve kullanım miktarları esas alınarak 2030 yılına kadar
geçecek süre zarfında projeksiyon katsayıları hesaplanmış ve
Türkiye’ye ait verilerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Projeksiyon katsayısı
değerleri 5 farklı grupta (toprak işleme, ekim ve gübreleme, ilaçlama,
hasat ve diğer tarım makinaları) belirlenmiştir. Çeltik tarımında
kullanılan toprak işleme alet ve makinalarında en yüksek
projeksiyon katsayısı değerleri dipkazan ve toprak frezesinde
sırasıyla %31.72 ve %17.55; ekim-gübreleme uygulamalarında
kullanılan alet ve makinalarda sırt pülverizatörü ve kimyevi gübre
dağıtma makinasında sırasıyla %2.52 ve %9.26; ilaçlama
uygulamalarında kullanılan makinalardan traktör kuyruk milinden
hareketli pülverizatörde %2.78; hasatta kullanılan farklı yaştaki
biçerdöverlerden 0-5 yaş grubundaki biçerdöverlerde ise %1.04
olarak belirlenmiştir. Çorum ilinde çeltik üretiminde kullanılan
makinaların projeksiyon katsayısı değerlerinin Türkiye için
belirlenen değerlere göre özellikle dipkazan, toprak frezesi, tesviye
aleti ve kimyevi gübre dağıtma makinalarında oldukça yüksek
değerlerde olduğu görülmüştür.
Osmanlı Devletinde Devlet-Tarikat İlişkileri
Authors: KAYA İsmail
Published: December 2020

Osmanlı Devleti’nin gerek kuruluş ve gerekse de yükselme dönemlerinde bazı hak ve ödeneklerle devlet tarafından desteklenen tarikatlar, özellikle Osmanlı Devleti’nin modernleşme dönemlerinde yoğun bir denetime tabi tutulmuştur. Tarikat faaliyetlerine yönelik olarak Osmanlı Devleti, Tanzimat öncesinde önemli düzenlemeler yapmış ve Evkaf Nezareti’nin oluşturulması ile başlayarak Tanzimat dönemi ile devam eden bu zaman diliminde tarikatlar önemli bazı ayrıcalıklarını bir süreliğine kaybetmiştir.
19. yüzyılla birlikte değişen dünya şartları ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin bu yeni durum ve şartlara uyum sağlama çabası içerisinde, tarikat ve onların faaliyet merkezleri olan tekkeler devlet tarafından eski rahat ve bir bakıma özerk konumlarını kaybetmişlerdir. Modernleşmenin veya dönüşümün her alanda kendini gösterdiği bu yüzyılda, devletin tekkelere bakışında da birtakım değişimler söz konusu olmuştur. Dolayısıyla bu yüzyılda çıkarılan fermanlarla faaliyet alanları kısıtlanan tekkeler, daha fazla devlet kontrolüne girmiştir.
Tarikatların devlet kontrolü altına girdiğinin önemli ve bir başka göstergesi de Meclis-i Meşayih’in açılmış olmasıdır. Bir yandan bürokratik ve toplumsal hayatta Batılılaşma yaklaşımları devam ederken diğer yandan Şeyhülislamlık tarafından kontrol edilen tekkeler, 1866 tarihinde Şeyhülislamlık’ın bir alt dalı olarak kurulan Meclis-i Meşayih kurumunun yönetimi altına girmiştir.

Getting in Trouble: The Meaning of School for "Problem" Students
Authors: Pifer Darryl
Published: December 2020

Three students attending an alternative school were selected because they had been labeled by their previous school and teachers as "problem students." A series of interviews was completed with each individual with the purpose of exploring the meaning of school for each. Each participant indicated an acceptance of the notion that education is important, but each also felt negatively about school. Good and bad things about school were discussed as well as good and bad experiences. The participants also discussed how they perceived the actions and expectations of others. The unfairness they each experienced in school was discussed as well as how they have internalized the definitions others have applied to them. The relationship with teachers and the school in general were discussed with emphasis placed upon the importance of establishing and maintaining caring and concerned relations as well as the importance of making learning relevant.

Abstract

Teachers are professional educators whose duties and roles have been regulated in the legislation. The state as a stakeholder in protecting citizens, especially teachers, is required to play an active role in protecting teachers from criminalization due to carrying out their professional duties.

At the regulatory level, the government has taken active action in the form of the invite of several regulations related to the duties and roles of teachers. However, in law enforcement level, there are still often teachers who face the law due to reports from parents of students for the actions of teachers who discipline students.

The Supreme Court as judex juris, through The Verdict Number: 1554K / Pid / 2013 has sentenced a free teacher in Majalengka named Aop Saopudin as a defendant because the Supreme Court considers what he did has become his duty and not a criminal act and the defendant can not be sentenced for his actions because it aims to educate to be a good student and disciplined.

The Supreme Court's decision is a manifestation of the state's responsibility through the institution of judicial power to provide protection to teachers in carrying out their professional duties.
