MİFTĀḤU'L-ʿULŪM'UN DİL İLİMLERİ TASNİFİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: İNCE Nazife Nihal
Published: October 2018

Arapçayı
müşterek dil olarak kullanan Müslümanlar erken dönemlerden itibaren ilimler
tasnifi üzerine düşünmüş ve konuyla ilgili eserler telif edilmiştir. Arap dili
ilimlerinin bu tasnif içerisindeki yeri aşağı yukarı sabit olsa da kendi
içerisindeki tasnifi sürekli değişmiştir. Oluşum sürecinde bir bütün olan el-ʿArabiyye,
Arap diline dair bilinmesi gereken her şeyi ihtiva ederken asırların geçmesiyle
alt dallara ayrılarak müstakil disiplinler oluşmuştur. Alt dallara ayrılan dil
bilimlerinin konuları, kapsamları, sınırları ve nihayet sayıları üzerinde net
açıklamalar yapabilmek birkaç asrın geçmesini gerektirmiştir. Dil ilimleri genel tasnif çalışmalarında öbekler
halinde ele alınırken dil ilimleri uzmanlarının tasnifleri daha teknik
kriterlere dayanmaktadır. Bu nedenle alanın uzmanları tarafından yapılan sınıflandırmalar
önemlidir. Şu var ki birkaç eser dışında dil ilimleri alanında özellikle bu
ilimlerin sınıflandırılmasıyla meşgul olunmamıştır. Bu eserlerden birisi on
üçüncü yüzyıl dilbilimcilerinden Yusuf es-Sekkākī’ye
ait Miftāḥu’l-ʿulūm
adlı eserdir. Bu makalede söz konusu eserin
dil ilimleri tasnifine etkisini incelemeye çalışacağız. Miftāḥu’l-ʿulūm’un dil ilimleri tasnifine tesiri tabii
olarak müteakip dönemlerdeki çalışmalarda aranacaktır. Genel olarak belagat
çalışmaları özel olarak Miftāḥu’l-ʿulūm tabanlı
şerh, ihtisar ve haşiyeler temel kaynaklarımız olacaktır. Dil ilimlerini
sınıflandırma fikri yeni bir fikir olmasa da Miftāḥu’l-ʿulūm’un hem konuların
düzenlenmesi hem de giriş bölümündeki bilgileri itibariyle tasnif düşüncesini
canlı tutan ve sonrakileri tasnif yapmaya tahrik eden bir eser olduğunu
söylemek mümkündür.

The Response Surface Methodology revisited – comparison of analytical and non-parametric approaches
Authors: Osocha Przemysław , Podgórski Jordan
Published: October 2018

Since G.E.P. Box introduced central composite designs in early fifties of 20th century, the classic design of experiments (DoE) utilizes response surface models (RSM), however usually limited to the simple form of low-degree polynomials. In the case of small size datasets, the conformity with the normal distribution has very weak reliability and it leads to very uncertain assessment of a parameter statistical significance. The bootstrap approach appears to be better solution than - theoretically proved but only asymptotically equal - t distribution based evaluation. The authors presents the comparison of the RSM model evaluated by a classic method and bootstrap approach.

Published: October 2018

Background: Central Nervous System (CNS) relapse in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma occurs mostly 6-8 months after disease onset. This has led to propose that CNS infiltration is an early event in the evolution of the disease. We intend to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MR) at diagnosis to detect early SNC compromise. Materials and Methods: Prospective longitudinal cohort’s study in DGCB patients treated at Hospital de Clínicas between 2013 and 2015. Skull MRI was performed in all patients at diagnosis and lumbar puncture was done according to predefined risk factors. Results: 35 patients were analyzed. Median age: 68 years (24-85 years). Stage III-IV: 62%, 57% good prognosis according to RIPI score and 43% poor prognosis. MRI was performed in all patients, with no pathological findings in any of them. Twenty-one patients fullfilled criteria for cerebrospinal fluid study. Twenty-two patients were studied and received intrathecal methotrexate prophylaxis. Meningeal relapse was observed in a single patient who had negative studies at diagnosis and had received complete prophylaxis at the end of the 6 R-CHOP series. Conclusions: Only one of the 35 patients relapsed in the CNS. This patient had a noral MRI and CSF study at diagnosis and had received prophylaxis with intrathecal chemotherapy. This results lead us to believe that the value of MRI to detect early infiltration in asymptomatic patients at diagnosis is low.

Published: October 2018

Benign solid liver tumors are composed by a heterogeneous group of lesions. Hepatic parasitosis is an infrequent etiological cause of benign solid liver tumors. Objective. To present the case of a patient with benign solid liver tumors treated with right portal vein embolization and, later, with hepatectomy. Clinical case. 60-year-old, male patient diagnosed with multiple solid liver tumors, due to a generalized case of jaundice. The decision to perform surgery was made on the basis of the clinical symptoms and the impossibility of discarding malignancy through complementary tests. Before surgery, hepatic volumetry and right portal vein embolization were done to increase future hepatic remnant. Right hepatectomy and hepatic resection of segment IVa were performed. The patient evolved positively from jaundice and the anatomopathological results showed a lesion related to hepatic parasitosis. Conclusion. In the presence of a solid liver tumor, it is necessary to rule out the malignant etiology of the lesion. If this is not possible, or if the patient continues with the symptomatology, surgical resection is prescribed, taking into account the volume of the hepatic gland and future hepatic remnant.

Published: October 2018

Primary Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic and chronic autoimmune disease. Renal involvement may occur in up to 30% of patients. The incidence of tubulopathies ranges from 2.6 to 33%. They are manifested by defects in the urine concentration and hydroelectrolyte alterations, mainly distal tubular acidosis and exceptionally proximal tubular acidosis. These disorders can be associated with nephrocalcinosis and renal lithiasis.We report the case of a patient with primary Sjögren who presented proximal renal tubular acidosis associated with recurrent renal colic due to renal lithiasis and nephrocalcinosis.We highlight the importance of diagnosing renal tubular acidosis in patients with Sjögren's syndrome that present alterations in urinary sediment and electrolyte disorders to avoid nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. Acidosis correction treatment aims to prevent the progression of the disorder and preserve renal function.
An Era of AI-personation & Self(ie) Surveillance
Authors: Campanioni Chris
Published: October 2018

Any discussion of the social invisibilities engendered by the Internet necessarily demands further questioning as to how visibility, as an increasing cultural norm, has produced new inequalities in real life. This contribution combines autoethnographic research, social media analysis, and data analytics with theoretical frameworks such as phenomenology and psychology to globally investigate our current culture of AI-catfishing, social media metrics, and metrics manipulation. 

My paper raises questions about re-materializing digital divides and inequalities in the “offline world” through citing self-surveillance techniques and algorithmic biases to show how we are both at the whim of these AI-inflected prejudices but also complicit in reproducing them, whether through government coercion or our own cultural norms and rules. I trace our relationship with music technology to outline a trajectory of sensory disconnect and co-produced community — a framework for understanding current cultural phenomena and the ethics of distributed data, privacy, and the rendering of our bodies as a new kind of transaction, and currency. The rise of fake news is re-contextualized within the widespread rise of fake users: the various impersonations of self even and especially through AI.
Invisibility, Inequality and the Dialectics of the Real in the Digital Age
Authors: Stocchetti Matteo
Published: October 2018

In the digital age, the practical possibility of engaging inequalities as political problems, that is, as problems related to the competition for the control over the distribution of values in society, is undermined by the digital invisibility of reality

In the current state of affairs, the digitalization of society reflects the influence of capitalist interpellation and brings about the invisibility of the real. The invisibility of the real through capitalist digitalization, in turn, conflates digitization and digitalization subordinating the latter to the former. Construed as a process inspired by technological rationality, capitalist digitalization undermines the possibility of mobilizing knowledge and legitimizing practices in support of the interpretation of invisibilities in relation to inequalities and injustice.

In line with the critical perspective of Andrew Feenberg and others, my approach is that the influence of capitalism in the digital age results from an epistemic appropriation of a technological development. This appropriation is the source of invisibilities that support inequalities and ultimately injustices that can and should be opposed. Leading on from this, my point is that opposition to this influence depends on the possibility of establishing alternative epistemic grounds and the formulation of alternative interpellations for the production of digital subjectivity.

To foster the normative agenda of critical theory, I discuss this possibility in terms of the ‘dialectics of the real’, the re-politicization of the social construction of reality in the digital age and the role of critical media literacy.
The Three Levels of the Digital Divide: Barriers in Access, Use and Utility of Internet among Young People in Spain
Authors: Gómez Daniel Calderón
Published: October 2018

This paper explores the three levels of digital divide among young people living in the region of Madrid (Spain). We use a qualitative approach, based on 20 in-depth interviews, in order to describe the personal process of Internet appropriation among this collective, taking into account the differences associated to gender, age, education, geographical habitat and type of technology use. Taking into account the three levels of the digital divide, we explore 5 important barriers (access, skills, motivation, emotions and utility) that influence the type of use of digital technologies by young people. We conclude that, even among youngsters who frequently use digital technologies, there are important asymmetries and barriers that limit the utility they can get from them, related to their sociocultural background and their personal processes of technological socialization.
Click to Feed. Mobile Phone Applications’ Role in Improving Food Access in Romania
Authors: Ionita Ioana
Published: October 2018

This paper explores the role of digital tools in surfacing and encouraging action against instances of social injustice in Romania, with a focus on food access. Starting from an analysis of developers/owners’ motivations in creating a series of mobile phone applications combatting food waste, this research looks at digital tools’ role in promoting the redistribution of surplus food items that would otherwise go to waste. While acknowledging the limited scope of this endeavor, it is my suggestion that this form of Internet-based food activism is in its incipient stages in Romania and that it does not necessarily aim or have the force to induce social change for the moment.
mgwr: A Python implementation of multiscale geographically weighted regression for investigating process spatial heterogeneity and scale
Authors: Oshan Taylor M. , Li Ziqi , Kang Wei , Wolf Levi John , Fotheringham Alexander Stewart
Published: October 2018

Geographically weighted regression (GWR) is a spatial statistical technique that recognizes traditional 'global' regression models may be limited when spatial processes vary with spatial context. GWR captures process spatial heterogeneity via an operationalization of Tobler's first law of geography: "everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things" (1970). An ensemble of local linear models are calibrated at any number of locations by 'borrowing' nearby data. The result is a surface of location-specific parameter estimates for each relationship in the model that may vary spatially, as well as a single bandwidth parameter that provides intuition about the geographic scale of the processes. A recent extension to this framework allows each relationship to vary according to a distinct spatial scale parameter, and is therefore known as multiscale (M)GWR. This paper introduces mgwr, a Python-based implementation for efficiently calibrating a variety of (M)GWR models and a selection of associated diagnostics. It reviews some core concepts, introduces the primary software functionality, and demonstrates suggested usage on several example datasets.
A stochastic sampling approach to zircon eruption age interpretation
Authors: Keller C. Brenhin , Schoene Blair , Samperton Kyle
Published: October 2018

The accessory mineral zircon is widely used to constrain the timing of igneous processes such as magma crystallization or eruption. However, zircon U-Pb ages record zircon crystallization, which is not an instantaneous process. Zircon saturation calculations link zircon crystallization, temperature, and melt fraction, allowing for the estimation of zircon crystallization distributions as a function of time or temperature. Such distributions provide valuable prior information, enabling Bayesian estimates of magma eruption time and allowing for comparison of the relative accuracy of common weighted-mean and youngest-zircon age interpretations with synthetic datasets. We find that both traditional interpretations carry a risk of underestimating the uncertainty in eruption age; a low mean square of weighted deviates (MSWD) does not guarantee the accuracy of weighted mean interpretations. In the absence of independent confirmation that crystallization timescale is short relative to analytical uncertainties, a Bayesian approach frequently provides the most accurate results and is least likely to underestimate uncertainty. Since U-Pb zircon studies now routinely resolve geological age dispersion due to increasing analytical precision, such considerations are increasingly critical to future progress in resolving rates and dates of Earth processes.

Published: October 2018

Waste is a problem faced in the worldwide. One strategic to minimizing the volume of waste is waste management at school or campus. The purpose of this cross- sectional study was to examine the relationship between knowledge, attitude and behavioral intention of waste management among college student in Diploma Nursing and Midwife Pematangsiantar. The participants were composed of 228 nursing and midwife student, and they were selected by stratified random sampling from Diploma of Nursing and Midwife, Pematangsiantar. The data was collected by using questionnaires consisting of information, knowledge, attitude and behavioral intention. Spearman Rank Correlation was used to identify relationships between, knowledge, attitude and behavioral intention. The study found that the majority of participants (88,2%) with the average age was 20,27 years old. The major study was nursing (39,5 %) with the VI semester. Knowledge and attitude were related to behavioral intention (r=0.550, p<0,01; r=0.183, p<0,06) respectively. Students reported good knowledge, positive attitude, and high behavioral intention. The study suggested that student should maintain their behavioral intention towards waste management. Also, the institution should provide more information on campus about how to recycle waste into useful.

Selective Amplification of Salient Features of Visual Memories During Early Memory Consolidation
Authors: Chunharas Chaipat , Brady Timothy F. , Ramachandran Vilayanur S
Published: October 2018

When people need to remember a whole set of words or images, they tend to remember any particular item as more closely resembling the gist of the entire set than it really was. Here we show that when participants are asked to remember only a few items -- and so maintaining the distinctiveness of this item in memory is of particular importance -- memory for that item is distorted in the opposite direction, amplifying its salient features. In a sequence of 4 experiments, we asked participants to remember the aspect ratio and size of a rectangle and draw it after various delays. Participants reliably exaggerated its distinctive feature in every experiment. This distortion occurred not just at initial encoding but also during memory consolidation and persisted for several hours. Thus, when remembering only a few items, memory amplifies the distinctive features of these items, a form of adaptive memory distortion.
Implicit location probability learning does not induce baseline shifts of visuospatial attention
Authors: Addleman Douglas A , Schmidt Abigale L. , Remington Roger W. , Jiang Yuhong
Published: October 2018

We tested whether implicit learning causes shifts of spatial attention in advance of or in response to stimulus onset. Participants completed randomly interspersed trials of letter search, which involved reporting the orientation of a T among Ls, and scene search, which involved identifying which of four scenes was from a target category (e.g., forest). In Experiment 1, an initial phase more often contained target letters in one screen quadrant, while the target scenes appeared equally often in all quadrants. Participants persistently prioritized letter targets in the more probable region, but the implicitly learned preference did not affect the unbiased scene task. In Experiment 2, the spatial probabilities of the scene and letter tasks reversed. Participants unaware of the probability manipulation acquired only a spatial bias to scene targets in the more probable region, with no effect on letter search. Instead of recruiting baseline shifts of spatial attention prior to stimulus onset, implicit learning of target probability yields task-dependent shifts of spatial attention following stimulus onset. Such shifts may involve attentional behaviors unique to certain task contexts.
Black Mecha Is Built for This: Black Masculine Identity in Firedance and Afro Samurai
Authors: Brickler Alexander Dumas J.
Published: October 2018

Through a reading of Steven Barnes's science fiction (SF) novel Firedance (1994), this article investigates the allegorical character of the black cyborg through the motif of “black mecha.” Black mecha, I contend, proffers a means of investigating representations of trauma that haunts the origin of black masculine identity. Situating this motif in what I propose as the “prosthetic communities” of Afrofuturist fiction, I engage the concept of “AfroAsia” and deploy it as a methodological tool for inscribing blackness across ethnonationalist boundaries. Placing Firedance in conversation with the Japanese black anime series Afro Samurai (2007), I focus upon themes of masculine identity, rehabilitation, and return to sites of original trauma in the contestations of black mecha. Though the mechanized bodies in Afro Samurai and Firedance can be readily understood through the mecha conventions of technological conflict and control, the black mecha bodies of protagonists Afro and Aubry represent something more than the contest for antagonistic hierarchal domination and instead can be read as effecting a reconciliation, if only partial, of black male identity.
Minority Reports from 2054: Building Collective and Critical Forecasting Imaginaries via Afrofuturetypes and Game Jamming
Authors: Brooks Lonny J. Avi , Pollock Ian
Published: October 2018

Imagined affordances reflect the imagined applications that users have for technology compared with what designers intend, including their own values and expectations that inform these imagined actions. For our purposes, imagined affordances enable black people in the diaspora to strive for affirmation within hostile environments that have accompanied slavery and its traumatic aftermath. This article presents pedagogical research in speculative black futurism, turning to our Minority Reports 2054 Game Jam, first held at California State University, East Bay in spring 2017, as a model for forecasting Afrofutures. In our forecasting pedagogy, we ask students from marginalized working-class communities to reimagine their social, media and digital spaces into the year 2054—the imagined year for the film Minority Report—thereby highlighting the “minority reports” of future visions too often ignored. We explain the forecasting processes developed for systematically imagining viable black futures by revisiting ancient black cultural rituals, such as the Brazilian adaptation of the African Kongo cosmogram. We also meld the latest methodological tools for scanning future trends to reposition them as “Afrofuturetypes” that trace past, present and future. Afrofuturetypes describe the building exercises of and outcomes via the Game Jam, whereby students create socially interactive games that aim to generate stories of 2054 with black futures in mind.
The Grapevine Telegraph "Jes Grew": Sonic Materialism, Afrofuturism and Information Theory in Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo
Authors: Kim Myungsung
Published: October 2018

Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo situates the history of African American culture in the language of genetics, information theory, biocultural evolutionism and sonic/vibrant materialism. Reed's motif of “Jes Grew,” as an evolving acoustic entity vibrant through radio technology, signifies a codified medium of information storage and transfer; it stores and transfers black cultural information in a viral form, articulating it to the physicality and orality of the antebellum grapevine telegraph. Such a biosonic construction of African American experience provides fertile terrain to explore the marginalization and rehabilitation of black ontological forces. By dramatizing the production and transmission of black tonality, Reed's trope of “Jes Grew” signals vibrational forces that counteract Western, white cultural norms. Thus Mumbo Jumbo's trope of the Jes Grew virus participates in, and advances, the aesthetic politics of Afrofuturism, in which Jes Grew's bio-sonic effects enable us to contest the narrow humanism of Eurocentric biopolitics with an Afrofuturist sonic materialism. By the same token, the novel's description of 1920s Harlem revolves around an epistemological framework of modern technoculture in which biological research becomes a textualization of nature and DNA becomes an information storage and transfer system. Mumbo Jumbo perceives the biological human body as an outcome of dynamic interactions in which information networks and social, cultural and biological relations are scripted in textual and coded platforms of sonic materialism.
Analysis of the impact of different scenarios on the simulation results of unauthorized dilution of boric acid in the coolant of the primary circuit of the NPP-2006
Authors: Shumskiy B. E. , Gordienko P. V. , Kotsarev A. V. , Lizorkin M. P.
Published: October 2018

Unauthorized dilution of boric acid in the reactor coolant due to improper operation of the chemical and volume control system (KBA) is a project mode with the violation of normal operation. The operator is obliged to identify unauthorized dilution within half an hour and stop feeding with pure condensate. The power unit has automation, which stops feeding on EP (emergency protection) and ATWS (Anticipated transient without scram) signals. The situation without the intervention of the operator and the failure of automation to stop dilution can be considered as a beyond design basis accident. The article presents an analysis of unauthorized boric acid dilution process in the primary circuit coolant of the NPP-2006 power unit up to the controlled state, either considering the operator's intervention after a 30-minute period of process, i. e. with a forced cessation of dilution, or without the operator's intervention until the tanks with pure condensate are completely emptied.

Gratia praesupponit naturam
Authors: Vulić Boris
Published: October 2018

In the article, the contemporary lack of representation of the axiom “grace presumes nature” is recognized as a providential opportunity for its renewal in theology and spirituality. After indicating some of the causes for neglecting this scholastic axiom, the second chapter interprets its theological interiority through an attempt to answer the inexhaustible question of the relationship of grace and nature. The third chapter brings further clarification through the axioms “grace does not destroy nature” and “grace perfects nature”. In analogy with Christ’s incarnation, it becomes apparent that nature, or creation, should always be understood in the perspective of grace, which is the first fact of the history of salvation. The restoration and deepening of these axioms contributes to linking the entire history of salvation, but also the history of theology and spirituality, and to a deeper understanding of what is truly natural and what is divine, graceful, and what as a gift and opportunity defines a man to the very foundation of his created nature.
Odnos prema rimokatoličanstvu u ranim radovima Karla Bartha
Authors: Matošević Lidija
Published: October 2018

The article discusses the question of the relationship of the Protestant theologian Karl Barth towards Roman Catholicism. It focuses on the period of Barth’s occupation as a part-time professor at the Department of Reformed Theology at the University of Göttingen. It is a formative period both for Barth’s theology as a whole, as well as for his relationship towards Roman Catholicism. The article presents the genesis of Barth’s interest in Roman Catholicism by placing it in the context of his dealing with Protestant theology itself and its history, or pre-history in the theology of the Middle Ages. The article shows how Barth’s attitude towards Roman Catholicism changed – from understanding Roman Catholicism as a kind of “heresy” similar to New Protestantism, to understanding Roman Catholicism as a form of theology and ecclesiastics whose, although problematic understanding of the possibility of the Word of God in the discourse of the Church, can become a critical stimulus to Protestant theology and ecclesiastics in search for its partially obscure identity.

Bureaucracy Service Excellence (PPB) is one of the crucial factors to push forward the progress of a certain state. State progress is reflected in the standard of bureaucracy service towards its people. Correlatively, the more developed the state, the more quality its bureaucracy service. As a matter of fact, poor countries often show their bureaucracy service as below the minimum standard. Meanwhile, developing countries demonstrate their bureaucracy service in line with minimum standard. The bureaucracy service above minimum standard is shown by highly developed countries. Knowing this fact, improving public service is a must for most government, especially during reformation era and public information transparency regime occurred recently in Indonesia. To achieve this feat, reforming bureaucracy administration is a goal to score for the sake of citizens’ wellbeing and a greater happiness for society. This means that bureaucrats should be ready to serve people by all means, and not vice versa. The true leader is one who proudly walks on the path of service. Essentially, bureaucracy service excellence (PPB) aims at empowering citizens to fully involve in various activities of state building. PPB, in turn, will nurture society’s trust toward its government. Consequently, this social trust will motivate people to actively participate in every development planning of the government to finally boost economic growth. In order to manifest those beliefs, it takes open communication as the main tools for increasing service excellence.

Alternative methods of controlling glucose levels in patients with diabetes is by type of food, either by utilizing yam flour. At the flour contained inulin and resistant starch that can activate the enzyme AMPK-α2. Activation of these enzymes will stimulate glucose transport in skeletal muscle and liver, thus causing a decrease in glucose production. Varying doses of flour is expected to affect the expression of AMPK-α2. This study aims to dosage relationship yam flour (Dioscorea esculenta) with tigkat-α2 AMPK enzyme expression in the nucleus skeletal muscle and liver in mouse models of diabetes mellitus. The study was a quasi-experimental design with Post Test Only Group Design. Rats were divided into 5 (five) groups, healthy mice, the mice with type 2 diabetes, and type 2 groups of diabetic rats with dietary intake yam flour addition of 1.25 g (TG-1:25),), 2.5 g (TG -2.5), 5.0 g (TG-5.0). Yam flour is mixed into the rat diet feed with varying doses. The results showed no significant correlation between the dose of yam flour with AMPK-α2 expression levels in skeletal muscle nuclei (p = 0.312) and liver (p = 0.474) in a mouse model of DM. The need for other studies using other types of food as an alternative arrangement of food for patients with diabetes
