An Exploration of Children’s English Picture Book Translation and Reading Teaching Based on Multiple Intelligences Theory
Authors: He Lihua , Li Yi
Published: February 2024

As far as the current situation of children’s English picture book translation and reading teaching is concerned, there exists the phenomenon that teachers pay little attention to translation and reading teaching, and the teaching effectiveness is low. This paper evaluates the translation and teaching of English picture books to children using the theory of multiple intelligences. The problem of data input and output is solved through the decision-making unit (DMU) as well as the C
2
R model composed of the DEA model. Based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and the target classification method to evaluate the students’ English learning quality and design the evaluation module, we construct the children’s picture book English teaching model under the combination of the DEA model and the multiple intelligences theory, and at the same time, we take the eight domains of the multiple intelligences theory as the evaluation indexes, combine the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and the principle of the target classification method to evaluate the student’s learning quality of the English picture book translation and reading to analyze The status quo of children’s English picture book teaching under the theory of multiple intelligences as well as the teaching results, comparing the results of the students in the two classes and analyzing the data results statistically. Students are most interested in reading children’s English picture books when they are between 0 and 2.4. The experimental class has a higher translation skill score than the control class, with an increase of 2.79875, 2.225, and 1.975, and the translation part of the improvement is more effective.
Embodiment of digital art elements in traditional cultural and creative product design based on virtual reality technology
Authors: Zang Yu
Published: February 2024

Design and culture are more and more intertwined and complementary. The current state of cultural and creative products is characterized by a lack of a combination of artistic elements and modern design. Traditional cultural and creative products that incorporate digital art elements are designed by this paper using virtual reality technology. Computer technology is used to generate a virtual environment, combined with VR tools to interact with the virtual environment, reproduce three-dimensional objects, and generate three-dimensional images by using mathematical pathways for image visualization. The digital art elements in the image are extracted by K-mean clustering algorithm, and the extracted elements are output to the element adjacency matrix to realize the visual display of the matching and proportion of digital art elements. By combining the methods above, it is proposed to extract digital art elements from traditional cultural and creative products. After market research to understand the crowd’s preference for cultural and creative product design, as well as analyzing the application of digital elements in cultural and creative products, the design effectiveness is analyzed. The research results show that people pay more attention to decorative and living cultural and creative products, the number of people who pay attention to them is 78 and 83 respectively, and the standard deviation is 26.674 and 31.064. The content of dynamic and interactive elements is the highest among the 6 kinds of digital art elements, which is 113. The cultural and creative products designed in this paper contain more digital elements, and the results achieved are better.

Published: February 2024

With the development of the times, UAVs are gradually promoted and popularized in military and civil fields, and the future airspace will also face more security risks. This paper combines the graph theory network algorithm to plan the initial path of UAV inspection and completes the dynamic collision avoidance path planning in the process of UAV inspection through the established joint model of UAV inspection sensing and avoidance. At the same time, the ant colony algorithm is introduced to improve the graph theory network algorithm to solve the dynamic collision avoidance optimal path in the process of UAV inspection. On this basis, simulation experiments of path planning design for UAV collision avoidance and kinematic simulation with two-fold priority judgment are carried out, and the kinematic parameters corresponding to the collision avoidance path are selected as the analysis anchor points. The extreme values of horizontal speed, climb speed, trajectory inclination angular rate, and heading angular rate are 31.6 m/s, 3 m/s, 5.7°/s, and 18.4°/s, respectively, which are within the given constraints, and verify the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed optimization scheme. The average time of the proposed algorithm is 0.0458s, which is much lower than the corresponding 0.7105s of the original scheme algorithm, through data comparison of simulation experiments and experimental validation. Using a graph theory network algorithm, the proposed optimization scheme is more efficient and stable and has a higher success rate for collision avoidance.
The maturity of using the organization’s relational intelligence in the processes of building relational capital: a smart organization example
Authors: Adamik Anna , Walecka Anna
Published: February 2024

The Smart World is a specific operational environment that encompasses, with its sophisticated techno-technological, ecological, social, and organizational requirements, various entities, systems, and things, including socially and environmentally aware people and their cognitive thinking. This dynamic technological, social, and cultural development and the solutions implemented in the companies that it drives are resulting in changing management paradigms, new business models, and the development of new types of organizations. One of these is the SMART organization, which can provide a real benchmark for the development processes of other organizations. The basis of its effective functioning is relational intelligence, which contributes to building and utilizing the right relational capital of the organization. Given the above, the aim of the study was to identify the essence of the areas and forms of impact of relational intelligence (RI) on selected elements of relational capital (RC), as well as to attempt to assess the maturity of the application of RI in the practice of enterprises using the example of the SMART organization.

In order to realize the set objectives, a survey was conducted among smart enterprises operating in Poland (N=327). The research revealed the types of relationships established by smart organizations, assessed their relational capital, and looked at the role of relational intelligence in the process of building RC.

The author's model of relational intelligence is proposed; it explores how relational intelligence (based on emotional and ethical capacities) can guide leadership behavior in interactions, helping leaders deal with complex ethical and cultural dilemmas and make balanced and responsible decisions.

The authors conclude that relational intelligence can support global leaders in addressing leadership challenges, leading them to interact appropriately across boundaries and build sustainable and trusting relationships with different stakeholders. The research findings collected have helped to take a first step towards a better understanding of the importance and maturity of the RI of smart organizations in their relationships with different types of stakeholders in this group of companies. The visualization of this data on the Relational Intelligence Maturity Map indicates, on the one hand, the basis for the success of the studied group of companies (relationships with high and fairly high levels of IRI activation) and, on the other hand, serves as an inspiration for other organizations in terms of what kind of relationships to develop, as well as why, where, and how to activate their RI more strongly in order to strengthen their RC.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to identify and evaluate the key trends in the leasing sector in Poland from the perspective of both the present situation and the coming years. The literature review and the conducted In-Depth Interviews among senior executives of leasing businesses in Poland and among representatives of the Polish Leasing Association enabled us to determine the following list of contemporary trends that are relevant to the leasing sector: the circular economy, the sharing economy and product-as-a-service, incidental and shock-related changes, digitalization, automation and robotization, as well as the development of the electric vehicle segment. Furthermore, many of these phenomena fit into the broader concept of so-called sustainable finance. All of the indicated trends were deemed as relevant by the experts. The leasing sector has not yet reached the maximum of its potential for market expansion in Poland.
Life-cycle cost estimation of a building structure: An example of partition walls
Authors: Biolek Vojtech , Hanak Tomaš
Published: February 2024

The growing pressure to optimise construction investment costs from the life-cycle perspective inevitably leads to efforts to seek new solutions that will facilitate informed decision-making in the early stages of the construction project. Awareness of the importance of considering future operation and demolition costs emphasises the shortcomings related to the possibility of making accurate predictions/estimations of such costs, which will become apparent in the future. To address this research gap, an innovative approach of life-cycle cost modelling on the level of individual structures of the building is presented. The model provides users with information on the costs of available technical solutions resulting from the requirements of the investor at a specific stage of the construction project. In this way, it helps investors optimise their building projects and to find the most economical solutions. Specifically, this model is assembled for the purpose of selecting a suitable partition wall and, therefore, it takes into consideration specific characteristics relating to this particular type of structure. The results indicate diversity in partition wall structural design variants at the early stage of the project. Since the ability to influence future costs decreases as the project progresses, the model allows capturing LCC perspective even if only a construction study is available without more detailed technical and economic information. The presented model aims to contribute to the higher performance of construction projects in the planning phase from the perspective of LCC and investors’/owners’ point of view.

Zum gegenwärtigen Stand der Klientenzentrierten Psychotherapie
Authors: Keil Wolfgang W.
Published: February 2024

Nach einer Klärung des Unterschieds von klientenzentrierter Therapie und personorientiertem Ansatz wird ein Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Stand der klientenzentrierten Therapie versucht. Dabei werden entsprechend ihren verschieden akzentuierten Zielen drei Richtungen der klientenzentrierten Therapie differenziert. Als Ziele werden die Verwirklichung der Grundhaltungen, das Gewahrwerden der störungsspezifischen Inkongruenzen und die (Wieder-)Herstellung des Experiencingprozesses angesehen. Abschließend wird auf die Gruppe als ursprünglichem Ort der personzentrierten Therapie hingewiesen. Die Entwicklung der klientenzentrierten Gruppentherapie und der klientenzentrierten Kinder- und Familientherapie werden als Beleg für die dem personzentrierten Ansatz inhärente Philosophie der relationalen Bezogenheit des Individuums dargestellt.
„to further cooperation on an international Level in the field of psychotherapy and counseling…“
Authors: Schmid Peter F.
Published: February 2024

Im vergangenen Sommer wurde beim internationalen personzentrierten und experientiellen Psychotherapiekongreß ein personzentrierter Weltverband gegründet. Zehn Jahre nach dem Tod des Gründers kommt das relativ spät, ist für die personzentrierte Geschichtsschreibung und die weitere „Politik des Personzentrierten Ansatzes" (Rogers) in Psychotherapie und Beratung aber dennoch eine bedeutsame Marke und in gewisser Weise ein Sprung über den eigenen Schatten.
In diesem Beitrag werden Motive, Prinzipien und Struktur des Verbandes erläutert. Die Statuten werden im Anschluß dokumentiert.
Der Personzentrierte Ansatz in der journalistischen Arbeit
Authors: Rudle Ditta
Published: February 2024

Nicht nur das Vokabel „Interview" verbindet die journalistische Arbeit mit der therapeutischen oder beratenden, auch das Anliegen: Kommunikation. Die Berücksichtigung und Anwendung der bekannten Parameter des Personzentrierten Ansatzes nach Carl R. Rogers erleichtern auch das journalistische Interview. Durch das Herstellen einer Beziehung wird aus einem beruflichen Zusammentreffen eine Begegnung. Im folgenden gehe ich nicht nur auf die Parallelen sondern auch auf die Unterschiede zwischen therapeutischer/beratender Kommunikation und journalistischem Gespräch ein und zeige, wie förderlich eine personzentrierte Haltung nicht nur dem Ziel des Interviews sondern der gesamten Qualität des Journalismus ist.
Das Verhältnis von Krankheitslehre und Therapietheorie in der Gesprächspsychotherapie
Authors: Finke Jobst
Published: February 2024

Es wird davon ausgegangen, daß das Störungskonzept von Rogers eine Therapietheorie verlangt, die den therapeutischen Prozeß als eine systematische und hermeneutisch zu definierende Resymbolisierung beschreibt. Rogers selbst geht therapietheoretisch jedoch eher vom Wachstumsmodell aus, das er später gewissermaßen beziehungstheoretisch ergänzt. So sind innerhalb des personenzentrierten Ansatzes 3 Ausrichtungen entstanden, die sich jeweils auf Rogers berufen können: Diejenige, die das Aktualisierungs-bzw. das Wachstumsmodell betont, diejenige, die vom lnkongruenzmodell und dem damit verbundenen Konzept der Symbolisierungsstörung ausgeht und diejenige, die sich an dem Begegnungskonzept des späten Rogers orientiert. Die störungs-und therapietheoretischen Besonderheiten dieser 3 Ausrichtungen werden dargestellt und es wird gefordert, auch konzeptuell diese 3 Ansätze stärker miteinander zu verbinden.

Der Stellenwert des Personzentrierten Ansatzes in der Supervision: Eine empirische Bestandsaufnahme
Authors: Korunka Christian , Sauer Joachim , Steinhardt Kornelia , Lueger-Schuster Brigitte
Published: February 2024

Die Supervision befindet sich in Österreich auf dem Weg einer zunehmenden Professionalisierung. Erkennbar wird dies z.B. durch die Gründung und die Bestrebungen der Österreichischen Vereinigung für Supervision (ÖVS) zur Entwicklung eines Berufsbildes von Supervision, aber auch durch die Definition von Kriterien für Supervision im Rahmen der Psychotherapie durch den Berufsverband der Psychotherapeuten (ÖBVP). Eine analoge Entwicklung einer Professionalisierung ist ebenfalls für die Supervision im Bereich des Personzentrierten Ansatzes erkennbar.
Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Stellenwert des Personzentrierten Ansatzes auf der Basis einer Analyse von Daten aus der Studie „Supervision in Österreich“ beurteilt. Insgesamt liegen in dieser Repräsentativerhebung die Einschätzungen von 636 Supervisoren/innen vor, von denen 99 eine abgeschlossene Person-/bzw. Klientenzentrierte Ausbildung (Psychotherapie bzw. Beratungsausbildung) besitzen.
Es bestätigt sich, dass der Person-/Klientenzentrierte Ansatz gut in der österreichischen Supervisionsszene vertreten ist. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass die berufliche Sozialisation das Selbstverständnis und die Ausübung der Supervision bestimmt. Die Supervisoren/-innen mit  Person-/Klientenzentrierter Ausbildung weisen aufgrund ihrer Sozialisation ein eher „therapeutisches“ Selbstverständnis auf, was u. a. in ihren sonstigen Tätigkeitsschwerpunkten, den Supervisionssettings, den Inhalten und den Orten der Supervision zum Ausdruck kommt.
Begegnung und Reflexion Personzentrierte Supervision als Förderung der Person im Spannungsfeld zwischen Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und Organisation
Authors: Schmid Peter F.
Published: February 2024

Drei grundlegende Positionen zur Supervision werden in diesem Beitrag behauptet und begründet:1. Eine Diskussion über Supervision ohne Diskussion über das zugrunde liegende Menschenbild ist intellektuell unredlich. Die anthropologische Frage ist explizit zu stellen, will man verantwortungsbewusst an das Thema Supervision und die Arbeit als Supervisor bzw. Supervisorin herangehen. Aus personzentrierter Sicht kommt dabei die Frage nach der Person in den Blick.2. Ein Supervisionsverständnis, das vorwiegend von Effizienz und Methodenfrage im herkömmlichen Sinn geprägt ist, ist menschlich unredlich. Supervisoren müssen sich der Frage stellen, wie sie ihre Rolle grundsätzlich definieren. Aus personzentrierter Sicht ist das die Frage, wie von den Supervisoren die Aufgabe eines Facilitators kunstgerecht wahrgenommen werden kann.3. Theorie und Praxis von Supervision, die sich dem Diskurs über das politische Selbstverständnis des supervisorischen Handelns nicht stellen, sind ethisch unredlich. Aus personzentrierter Sicht ist Supervision keine Technologie, sondern die Kunst von Begegnung und Reflexion in einem gesellschaftspolitischen Zusammenhang. Sie ist, was immer sie sonst noch ist, eine sozialethische Disziplin.
Dem weit verbreiteten Ansatz, Supervision als Methode zu sehen, wird hier die personzentrierte Position gegenübergestellt, Supervision als jene kunstvolle Beziehungsgestaltung zwischen Supervisor(en) und Supervisand(en) zu verstehen, die durch Begegnung und Reflexion zur authentischen, menschengerechten und emanzipatorischen Gestaltung der Arbeitswelt der betroffenen Personen, Teams und Organisationen in ihrer Wechselbeziehung beizutragen imstande ist.
Organismisches Erleben und Selbst-Erfahrung
Authors: Spielhofer Hermann
Published: February 2024

Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt den Versuch dar, die Konzepte Rogers sowie deren anthropologische und philosophische Grundlagen im Lichte aktueller wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse und Paradigmen neu zu diskutieren. Der zentrale Aspekt im Menschenbild Rogers und die Grundannahme seiner Theorie der Persönlichkeit ist der Begriff des „Organismus“ und der darin wirksamen „Aktualisierungstendenz“. Trotz der Bedeutung für die Theoriebildung bleibt dieses Konzept allerdings vage und zum Teil widersprüchlich. Vor allem wird bei Rogers nicht klar unterschieden zwischen dem Organismus als körperlich biologisches Substrat und dem organismischen Erleben als psychologische Kategorie. Der Begriff des „Organismus“ als Erfahrungskategorie soll hier unterschieden werden von dem des Körpers, analog zur phänomenologischen Differenzierung in Körper und Leib, in an sich und für sich Seiendes und sich ausschließlich auf das (organismische) Erleben beziehen. Die Entwicklung und Ausprägung des organismischen Erlebens bzw. unserer Bedürfnisse und Emotionen, als wesentlicher Aspekt der Konstituierung des Individuums, erfolgt im Rahmen der Vermittlung von menschlicher Natur und Erfahrung, von Kausalität und Intentionalität und damit wird auch die Leib-Seele-Problematik in einen anderen kategorialen Rahmen gestellt. Die Aktualisierungstendenz wird demgegenüber als „übergeordnetes Sinnprinzip“ gesehen, bei der es ganz allgemein „um die Natur des Prozesses geht, den wir Leben nennen“ (Angyal, 1941) sowie als zentraler Aspekt im Menschenbild des personzentrierten Ansatzes.
Außerdem soll hier neben dem „Selbst“ als Objekt unserer (Selbst-)Erfahrung oder dem „phänomenalen Feld“ ein „Ich“ oder Subjekt als eigene Instanz diskutiert werden, im Sinne eines sinnstiftenden Zentrums und als Voraussetzung von Selbstbewusstsein und Selbstbestimmung. Das Selbst wird als eine Konstruktion betrachtet, die das Subjekt aus bruchstückhaften, zum Teil präverbalen und nicht symbolisierten Erfahrungen, Erinnerungsbildern, Bedürfnissen usw. gestaltet. Die Auswahl und Bewertung dieser Elemente des Selbstbildes erfolgt auf der Basis unseres Lebensentwurfs, unserer Intentionalität.

Postflight Assessment of Mars 2020 Entry, Descent, and Landing Simulation
Authors: Dutta Soumyo , Way David W. , Zumwalt Carlie H. , Blette David J.
Published: February 2024

On 18 February 2021, the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter successfully landed inside Jezero Crater. At 1026 kg, Perseverance is the largest, most sophisticated rover ever delivered to another planet. This event marked the ninth successful landing and fifth rover to be delivered at Mars. The Program to Optimize Simulated Trajectories II, a trajectory simulation tool, was the prime entry, descent, and landing performance simulation for Mars 2020. This paper presents comparisons between the flight telemetry and the simulation predictions. In general, approximately 90% of the as-flown values were within [Formula: see text] (standard deviations) of the preflight simulation predictions, and the anomalies are discussed in the paper. These comparisons are important in order to understand how each of the individual models and the integrated simulation as a whole performed. This information is fed forward to future missions, which benefit from knowing where additional resources or studies are needed and where uncertainties may be reduced to enable improved performance.
Advancing Mistuning Identification and Dynamic Modeling of Blisks Through Blade Detuning Tests
Authors: Zhou Biao , Li Ankang , Battiato Giuseppe , Berruti Teresa M.
Published: February 2024

Blisks extensively used in advanced aeroengines are vulnerable to vibration problems due to the high sensitivity of the blisk’s forced response to blade mistuning. This paper proposes an emerging mistuning identification technique based on blade detuning tests (BDTID) for predictive dynamic modeling of blisks. The conventional frequency-mistuning modeling approaches relying on blade mistuning identification by reduced-order model techniques and modal test data of the full blisk are also adopted to construct different mistuned models of a blisk test piece for comparison purposes. A complete assessment of these blisk models is achieved through the forced response tests in a stationary traveling wave excitation test rig. The BDTID consists of blade-detuning tests followed by a correction procedure. The detuning tests enable us to approximately evaluate the “blade-alone” frequencies through blade-by-blade impact testing in combination with a mass detuning mechanism. The correction procedure is able to evaluate the detuning test quality by the quantification of the residual interblade coupling due to mass detuning. More importantly, a robustness investigation demonstrates that this procedure is able to capture the “true” blade mistuning even in cases of poor blade detuning test quality. The resultant mistuned blisk model exhibits high accuracy in the modal correlation and forced response validation results. Compared with conventional methods, BDTID takes advantage of easy implementation with less experimental effort and has proven robust performance. It is therefore recommended for blade mistuning identification and predictive blisk dynamic modeling in a wide variety of scenarios.
Modeling Aircraft Fuel Jettison Using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics on Finite-Volume Meshes
Authors: MacLeod James , Rendall Thomas , Allen Christian B
Published: February 2024

Weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics is used to investigate aircraft fuel jettison using a single-phase model. Fuel simulations are coupled to the aircraft computational fluid dynamics flowfield using cell containment checks on the finite-volume mesh to locate any smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) particle within the mesh, after which the local flow velocity vector is retrieved and then used to apply an approximate aerodynamic force to the SPH particle based on a continuum correction to discrete droplet calculations. Further downstream, the SPH simulation may be continued, or a switch may be made to implicit particle tracking (IPT) in order to accelerate the simulation. Comparison to IPT results shows that a fluid model of the initial continuum breakup of the jet is required, but following this transition to IPT is reasonable to reduce computation time. Models are validated against volume of fluid (VOF) simulations, with the runtime of the proposed model being approximately 100 times less than the VOF, and good qualitative agreement is also found compared to recorded flight results.
Experiment on Heat Exchanger Using Innovative Coils and Phase Change Material/MXene Nanofluids
Authors: Sarkar Jahar , Rekha Sahoo Rashmi
Published: February 2024

The utilization of innovative coiled wire turbulators along with phase change material (PCM; improving heat capacity) or MXene (having good dispersion stability) dispersed nanofluid in tubular heat exchangers may boost performance; however, it has not been explored yet. In the current analysis, experimental research is done on various mono-nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids flowing in a double-pipe heat exchanger with tapered, coiled wire turbulators to examine the hydrothermal aspects. Four coiled wire turbulators (conventional helical, conversing tapered, diverging tapered, and converging–diverging tapered) and four nanofluids ([Formula: see text], PCM/water, [Formula: see text] and MXene/water) are utilized in the heat exchanger with all possible combinations. The effects of fluid types, turbulator types, total nanoparticle volumetric fraction, and nanofluid volume flow rate are investigated. Two thermal parameters (heat transport coefficient and Nusselt number), two hydraulic parameters (drop of pressure and friction coefficient), and two hydrothermal parameters (ratio of heat transport coefficient and drop of pressure, and generation of entropy) are considered objective functions. The study reveals that the diverging tapered, coiled wire yields significantly higher performance as compared to the conventional helical coiled wire as an insert. MXene/water has higher thermal performance; however, PCM-dispersed hybrid nanofluid yields better hydrothermal performance than other studied fluids.
Robotic Narrative, Mindreading and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun
Authors: Shang Guanghui
Published: February 2024

Bringing into dialogue the theory of mindreading reformulated within cognitive narratology, this article offers an analysis of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun (2021). It argues that Ishiguro extends this theory beyond human minds to nonhuman minds and human-machine bonds to explore human minds as human essence. By examining an artificial-intelligence (AI) character-narrator’s struggle to read human minds through observation, this study draws two conclusions. Firstly, machines cannot comprehend entire human minds due to their complexity and variability. A mind encompasses not only an individual’s own intricate thoughts and emotions but also others’ diverse feelings about this individual. Secondly, both humans and machines engage in one-sided mindreading without eliciting reciprocal affective responses. This suggests that the limitations of robotic mindreading, coupled with human anthropocentrism, prevent the establishment of true human-machine intersubjectivity. By illustrating machines’ incapability to possess human minds through robotic narrative, Ishiguro offers a new perspective on the theory of mindreading, asserting the irreplaceable nature of human minds in the age of AI to prompt a reflection on the uniqueness of human minds, a realm that machines cannot replicate or transfer.
Influencer marketing (etkileyici pazarlama) konulu lisansüstü tezlerin bibliyometrik analizi
Authors: ÖZGÜR Ömer Faruk
Published: February 2024

İnternetin hayatımıza girmesi ile birlikte iletişim teknolojilerinde köklü değişimler yaşanmıştır. İnternet teknolojilerinin hayatımıza kattığı yeniliklerden biri de sosyal medya platformları olarak adlandırılan Facebook, Twitter, Instagram gibi platformlardır. Bu platformlar insanların sosyal hayatlarını etkilediği kadar pazarlama alanını da etkilemiştir. Eskiden geleneksel mecralarda yapılan pazarlama faaliyetleri dijital platformlara kaymaya başlamış ve bu gelişmeler influencer marketing olarak ifade edilen ve Türkçe’ye “nüfuz pazarlama” veya “etkileyici pazarlama” gibi çevirilerle isimlendirilen faaliyet alanının gelişimine katkı sağlamıştır. Günümüzde özellikle pazarlama amaçlı halkla ilişkiler faaliyetlerinin içinde önemli bir yeri olan influencer marketing konusunun Türkiye’deki lisansüstü çalışmalarda nasıl ele alındığını incelemek bu çalışmanın temel amacıdır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de YÖK Tez merkezine kayıtlı influencer marketing konulu 38 adet tez bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada nitel analizler için Nvivo programı kullanılmıştır. Türkiye’de yapılmış lisansüstü çalışmalar analiz edildiğinde tezlerin çoğunun nüfuz pazarlamanın tüketicilerin satın alma davranışına etkisini ölçmeyi amaçladığı görülmüştür. Uluslararası literatürde de çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğunun influencer marketing’in satın almaya etkisi konulu olduğu görülmüş olup lisansüstü çalışmaların uluslararası literatürle paralel ilerlediği görülmüştür. Lisansüstü çalışmaların kuramsal temellerinin “dijital pazarlama”, “WOM” (Ağızdan ağıza pazarlama) bağlamında ele alındığı görülmüştür. Tez çalışmalarının temel bulgularına bakıldığında nüfuz pazarlama tekniği kullanımının tüketicilerin satın alma davranışını olumlu yönde etkilediği ve nüfuz pazarlamanın geleneksel pazarlamadan daha etkili bir teknik olduğu ortak sonuçlarına varıldığı görülmüştür. Lisansüstü çalışmalarda görülen en temel eksikliğin çalışmaların hiçbirinde influencer marketing konusunun olumsuz boyutlarının mesela etik boyutu veya tüketici üzerindeki olumsuz etkisi gibi konulara hiç değinilmediği görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda lisansüstü çalışmalarda en temel eksiklik olarak eleştirel bakış açısından yoksunluk ve konunun sadece egemen yaklaşımlar ve endüstri ve onun çıkarları temelinde ele alınması olduğu görülmüştür.
Rusya-Japonya arasında donmuş çatışma bölgesi olarak Kuril Adaları

Published: February 2024

Kuril Adaları Rusya ile Japonya arasında hukuki statüsü henüz belirlenmemiş takım adadır. Kuril Adaları gibi eski Sovyet coğrafyasındaki tartışmalı bölgeler donmuş çatışma bölgeleri olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Rusya donmuş çatışma bölgelerinde statükonun sürmesini, Madalean Grono’ya göre, beş sebepten dolayı istemektedir. Bunlar; Rusya rejiminin çatışma bölgelerinde devam etmesi, Batı ile ilişkiler, jeostratejik, etniklik ve ekonomik sebeplerdir. Kuril Adaları incelendiğinde Rusya’nın, belirtilen sebeplerden dolayı, nihai barış antlaşması istemediği anlaşılmaktadır. Başka bir ifadeyle Kuril Adaları’nın durumu Abhazya, Karabağ veya Transdinyester gibi donmuş çatışma bölgelerinden farklı değildir. Bu çalışmada, Japonya ve Rusya arasında 2. Dünya Savaşı sonrası bir çözüme ulaşamamış Kuril Adaları’nın durumu, donmuş çatışma bölgesi kavramı üzerinden açıklanmıştır. Japonya ve Rusya arasında var olan, fakat politik tartışmalara konu olmayan bir mesele kavramsallaştırılarak literatüre kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, döküman analizi ve literatür taraması yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmayla ilgili birincil ve diğer kaynaklar incelenmiştir. Eski Sovyetlerde, çatışma bölgelerindeki çalışmalar analiz edilmiş ve Kuril Adaları’yla karşılaştırılmıştır. Rusya’nın, kendisinin dahil olduğu kriz bölgelerinde, belli politikalar izlediği ortaya çıkmıştır. İster küçük ister büyük ülkeler olsun, Rusya’nın müdahil olduğu krizleri kontrol ettiği ve bu krizlerin literatürde donmuş çatışma bölgesi olarak tanımlandığı açıklanmıştır. Japonya ile olan Kuril Adaları krizinin de Rusya için donmuş çatışma bölgesi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Parental self-efficacy is a significant factor that influences parenthood. It is important to pay attention to this factor when treating children with conduct problems. This study examined the ways how parental self-efficacy is supported in family therapy, where family has come due to children`s conduct problems. Also, the way how supporting parental self-efficacy changes during therapy was studied. The material consists of one family`s therapy process, that was carried out in an outpatient clinic. Parents’ self-efficacy was supported by various means that were focused on supporting parental self-efficacy indirectly through two processes mediating self-efficacy. In addition, it was found that supporting parents’ self-efficacy changed as the therapy progressed. In the light of these results supporting parental self-efficacy seems to form a significant part of the treatment of children with conduct problems. This study provides new information about practical means that can be used in supporting parental self-efficacy in family therapy.

LigandDiff: 3D Transition Metal Complex Generation with Diffusion Models
Authors: Jin Hongni , Merz, Jr Kenneth M.
Published: February 2024

Transition metal complexes are a class of compounds with varied and versatile properties making them of great technological importance. Their applications cover a wide range of fields, either as metallodrugs in medicine or as materials, catalysts, batteries, solar cells, etc. The demand for the novel design of transition metal complexes with new properties remains of great interest . However, the traditional high-throughput screening approach is inherently expensive and laborious since it depends on human expertise. Here, we present LigandDiff, a generative model to design novel transition metal complexes. Unlike the existing methods which simply extracts and combine ligands to the metal to get new complexes, LigandDiff aims at designing novel ligands from scratch, which opens new pathways for the discovery of organometallic complexes. Moreover, it overcomes the limitations of current methods where the diversity of new complexes highly relies on the diversity of available ligands while LigandDiff can enumerate novel ligands without human intervention. Our results indicate that LigandDiff designs unique and novel ligands under different contexts that are synthetically accessible. Moreover, LigandDiff shows good transferability by generating successful ligands for any transition metal complex.

La declaración CONSORT 2010 proporciona unas directrices mínimas para informar sobre los ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. Su uso generalizado ha sido fundamental para garantizar la transparencia en la evaluación de nuevas intervenciones. Más recientemente, se ha reconocido cada vez más que las intervenciones con inteligencia artificial (IA) deben someterse a una evaluación rigurosa y prospectiva para demostrar su impacto en la salud. La extensión CONSORT-AI (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials-Artificial Intelligence) es una nueva pauta de información para los ensayos clínicos que evalúan intervenciones con un componente de IA, esta se desarrolló en paralelo con su declaración complementaria para los protocolos de ensayos clínicos: SPIRIT-AI (Standard Protocol Items  Artificial Intelligence: Recomendaciones para ensayos clínicos de intervención - Inteligencia Artificial). Ambas directrices se desarrollaron a través de un proceso de consenso por etapas que incluía la revisión de la literatura y la consulta a expertos para generar 29 elementos candidatos, que fueron evaluados por un grupo internacional de múltiples partes interesadas en una encuesta Delphi de dos etapas (103 partes interesadas congregados en una reunión de consenso de dos días (31 partes interesadas) y refinados a través de una lista de verificación piloto (34 participantes). La ampliación del CONSORT-AI incluye 14 nuevos elementos que se consideraron lo suficientemente importantes para las intervenciones de IA como para que se informen de forma rutinaria, además de los elementos básicos del CONSORT 2010. CONSORT-AI recomienda que los investigadores proporcionen descripciones claras de la intervención de IA, incluyendo las instrucciones y las habilidades requeridas para su uso, el entorno en el que se integra la intervención de IA, el manejo de los datos de entrada y los datos de salida de la intervención de IA, la interacción entre el ser humano y la IA y la provisión de un análisis de los casos de error. CONSORT-AI ayudará a promover la transparencia y la exhaustividad en los informes de los ensayos clínicos de las intervenciones de AI, también ayudará a los editores y revisores, así como a los lectores en general, a entender, interpretar y valorar críticamente la calidad del diseño del ensayo clínico y el riesgo de sesgo en los resultados comunicados.
Neural network-based monitoring of critical parameters in drinking water for enhanced quality assurance
Authors: Arunbalaji S.
Published: February 2024

Every nation has its own approved parameters for water quality standards provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). These parameters undergo variations based on geography. The Sultanate of Oman has listed prime important parameters for unbottled drinking water according to Oman Standards. Currently, the utilization of advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technology involves numerous internal measurements through multiple sensors. These sensors continuously monitor water quality indicators such as pH levels, turbidity, and microbial content, ensuring that the drinking water meets the stringent standards set by the Sultanate of Oman. This integration of IoT technology enhances real-time data collection and analysis, facilitating prompt responses to any deviations from the prescribed water quality parameters. However, determining the specific purpose of water usage is not yet defined. Traditionally, water quality is typically examined only for physiochemical properties. However, given that water is a colorless liquid, its suitability for drinking cannot be solely determined based on these properties. By employing Time Series Neural Networks, we can identify the current parameters of water and display or transmit information wirelessly as a report. This report would include a comparison between the actual value and the measured value using recent sensors and instrumentation. Additionally, the Time Series Neural Networks allow for real-time monitoring, enabling swift detection of anomalies or fluctuations in water parameters, contributing to proactive decision-making in water management. The seamless integration of advanced technology not only enhances the accuracy of data analysis but also facilitates timely responses to potential environmental changes or emerging issues.
Efficient Approximation Methods for Lexicographic Max-Min Optimization
Authors: Tomasz Śliwiński
Published: February 2024

Lexicographic max-min (LMM) optimization is of considerable importance in many fairness-oriented applications. LMM problems can be reformulated in a way that allows to solve them by applying the standard lexicographic maximization algorithm. However, the reformulation introduces a large number of auxiliary variables and linear constraints, making the process computationally complex. In this paper, two approximation schemes for such a reformulation are presented, resulting in problem size reduction and significant performance gains. Their influence on the quality of the solution is shown in a series of computational experiments concerned with the fair network dimensioning and bandwidth allocation problem.
Poesía en acción: intermedialidad y performance en La Palabra Itinerante
Authors: Ayala Gallardo Francisco Javier
Published: February 2024

El presente artículo profundiza en los conceptos de intermedialidad y acto performativo y apunta hacia una visión integradora de los aspectos más relacionados con las implicaciones ideológicas, políticas y culturales que se configuran en torno a estos dos ejes, especialmente en los estudios que parten del elemento lírico como materia de análisis. Para hacerlo se ofrece un recorrido cronológico por las casi tres décadas de singladura escénica de la Compañía Poética La Palabra Itinerante, una de las más relevantes, en su género, de la escena contemporánea española, haciéndose una breve cala en el espectáculo «Su mal espanta», a día de hoy el más ambicioso de la compañía. Poesía, música, pintura y videoarte se convierten aquí en atalaya tanto para el pensamiento crítico como para la acción social y comunitaria.
