Accumulation of cadmium and zinc in barley regenerants on a provocative soil background with cadmium
Authors: Shupletsova O. N. , Tovstik E. V.
Published: December 2021

Background. An effective way to obtain barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes stress-tolerant to cadmium, with a low level of toxic ion accumulation in grain, is the selection of cells in selective in vitro systems, based on somaclonal variability, which promotes the formation of specific and nonspecific adaptive mechanisms.

Materials and methods. The object of the study was cv. ‘999-93’, developed by selection from a hybrid combination of spring barley (Luly × Conrad) × 2867-80, and its regenerated forms in seed reproductions of the 3–5th generation, induced in the process of cell selection on media with cadmium, aluminum and polyethylene glycol. The plants were grown under normal soil conditions and against a provocative background for cadmium.

Results. The contribution of the environment-forming activity in the roots of the studied genotypes to inactivation of toxic ions appeared insignificant. The total removal of cadmium by plants against a provocative background increased 22.5 times, reaching 5.8–10.3 mg/kg of dry phytomass when distributed among organs: roots (91.9–93.4%) > stems (5.9–7.8%) > grain (0.5–0.8%). The amount of toxic metal in grain increased 11 times in the original form and 2.8–6.8 times in regenerants. The negative effect of excess cadmium in the soil on the accumulation of zinc in barley was shown. There was no gradation in the importance of organs for zinc accumulation or any presence of functional barriers preventing this. Regenerants induced on selective media with cadmium had the greatest adaptive advantages to stress: pronounced barrier functions of roots, minimal accumulation of toxic ions in aerial organs, and high seed productivity (they exceeded the original genotype by 35.5%). Adaptive reactions associated with the limitation of cadmium accumulation in plant tissues of regenerants, obtained by in vitro selections with aluminum and an osmotic, were shown to be weak.

Authors: Bespalova E. S. , Ershova K. M. , Ukhatova Yu. V.
Published: December 2021

This is an overview of contemporary published works dedicated to the ability of soybean plants to regenerate in vitro and the techniques to achieve high regeneration rates, which is a necessary condition for the inclusion of soybean genotypes in genome editing programs. The main factors that determine the regenerative capacity of explants from various soybean accessions are considered. The greatest effect on the efficiency of regeneration is exerted by the conditions of in vitro culture initiation, type of explant, composition of the nutrient medium, shelf life of seeds, and genotypic characteristics of soybean accessions.
Studying agronomic characters in new millet accessions from the VIR collection at Yekaterinino Experiment Station of VIR
Authors: Kulemina T. V.
Published: December 2021

Background. Adding new plant varieties to the VIR collection is an important effort to preserve the diversity of worldwide bioresources. The millet collection at VIR is formed through the study of acquired accessions, aimed at identification of biological features that have emerged under certain conditions. Such germplasm may be recommended for use in breeding practice. Studying new accessions makes it possible to predict long-term development of the collection.

Materials and methods. The study was carried out at Yekaterinino Experiment Station of VIR, Tambov Province, in 2017–2019. New millet accessions added to the VIR collection served as the research material. The study was based on the descriptors and guidelines for Panicum miliaceum L. developed at VIR.

Results and conclusions. An assessment was made for such agronomic characters as the growing season, plant height, grain size, grain yield, and resistance to bacteria. The identified accessions exceeded the reference (cv. ‘Gorlinka’) in a number of traits. Earliness was observed in k-10479 (‘Dozh’), k-10481 (‘Zapadnoye’), k-10324, k-10325, k-10478 (‘Nizhnevolzhskoye’), k-10275 (‘Kvartet’), k-10306 (‘Volga 59’), k-10322 (‘Soyuz’), k-10473 (‘Yarkoye 120’), and k-10474 (‘Kavkazskiye zori’). Low plant height was recorded for k-888, k-10324, k-10306, k-10474, k-10479, k-10326, k-10481, and k-10480 (‘Kamyshenskoye’). Large grain size was shown by k-888, k-10325, k-10306, k-10324, k-10479, k-10475 (local), k-10322, k-10473, k-10480, and k-10481. High grain yields under the conditions of the Central Black Earth Region of Russia were demonstrated by the accessions from Belarus (cv. ‘Zapadnoye’, k-10481) and from Chelyabinsk Province (local cultivar, k-888). Medium and strong resistance to bacterial pathogens was observed in k-888, k-10275, k-10473, k-10474, k-10324, and k-10325. The selected accessions can serve as source material for the development of new millet cultivars.
Description of buckwheat cultivars from Belarus and Ukraine in the environments of Leningrad Province
Authors: Romanova O. I.
Published: December 2021

Background. Buckwheat is an extremely valuable groat crop in demand both in Russia and abroad. The buckwheat collection held by VIR is the largest in the world. Studying and systematizing knowledge about the conserved diversity of the genus Fagopyrum Mill. representatives cannot be efficient without switching to the use of the most detailed descriptors containing plant characters least dependent on differences in growing conditions.

Materials and methods. Seventeen buckwheat cultivars from Ukraine and Belarus and two references from Russia were studied in Leningrad Province. The methodological basis of the study included the IPGRI buckwheat descriptors and personal recommendations of N. V. Fesenko. Statistical data processing was performed according to P. F. Rokitsky.

Results. The cultivars formed their typical plant habitus and demonstrated good fruit setting − an average score was 3.3–4.9 out of five. The determinant stem growth was observed in 10 cultivars. The stem developed 2.7−6.7 generative nodes and 4–6 vegetative ones, while 1.9–4.7 generative and 0.8−2.3 vegetative nodes were formed on the two upper branches.

Conclusion. The study confirmed that medium-ripening buckwheat can be grown in Leningrad Province. The modal value of the number of vegetative nodes for the studied cultivars was 4−5, which is an indicator of intermediate ripening. The results of studying the metamerism of the stem and the two upper branches, expressed by modal values, were recorded in the “agricultural fitness” passport for the tested cultivars as follows: determinant stem; branching zone 4+1+2; fruit-forming zone 3+3+3; average score of fruit formation 4.8. The presented data format most fully characterizes a cultivar in terms of the potential of its earliness and productivity. Depending on the task, indicators for the main stem or for the two upper branches can be used. Recording values in the form of a formula is convenient and does not imply any other meanings.

Robust laser positioning in a mobile robot machine vision system
Authors: Gurko Alexander , Sergiyenko Oleg , Lindner Lars
Published: December 2021

Problem. Laser scanning devices are widely used in Machine Vision Systems (MVS) of an autonomous mobile robot for solving SLAM problems. One of the concerns with MVS operation is the ability to detect relatively small obstacles. This requires scanning a limited sector within the field of view or even focusing on a specific point of space. The accuracy of the laser beam positioning is hampered by various kinds of uncertainties both due to the model simplifying and using inaccurate values of its parameters, as well as lacking information about perturbations. Goal. This paper presents the improvement of the MVS, described in previous works of the authors, by robust control of the DC motor, which represents the Positioning Laser drive. Methodology. For this purpose, a DC motor model is built, taking into account the parametric uncertainty. A robust digital PD controller for laser positioning is designed, and a comparative evaluation of the robust properties of the obtained control system with a classical one is carried out. The PWM signal formation by the microcontroller and processes in the H-bridge are also taken into account. Results. The obtained digital controller meets the transient process and accuracy requirements and combines the simplicity of a classic controller with a weak sensitivity to the parametric uncertainties of the drive model. Originality. The originality of the paper is in its focus on the MVS of the autonomous mobile robot developed by the authors. Practical value. The implementation of the MVS with the proposed controller will increase the reliability of obstacles detection within a robot field of view and the accuracy of environment mapping.

Authors: Gaydamaka Anatoliy , Muzykin Yurii , Klitnoi Volodymyr
Published: December 2021

Problem. This article highlights the current state of diagnostics of gears on the level of accumulated fatigue damage in operation. The generalization of the known information on determination of a technical condition of separate gear wheels, especially with big modules (m> 20 mm), allows to outline prospects of development of such diagnostics of a technical condition of gear wheels directly in the course of operation. Goal. The goal of this study is to develop an algorithm for diagnosing the technical condition and forecasting a fault-free operation of the gears of heavy-duty machines. Methodology. The least squares method and the confidence interval method are used to predict accident-free guaranteed gear operation. Results. A procedure for diagnosing the technical condition of gears by measuring the hardness of the metal has been developed, which includes five main stages: selection of the device; choice of measurement scheme; selection of the number of measurements, number and relative position of measuring points; development of a design of a template for measurements; development of a device for fastening templates. When determining the accident-free guaranteed operating time on the basis of several criteria of the limit state, the final decision is made on the criterion that determines the minimum term. Originality. The method of forecasting accident-free guaranteed operating time of gears is chosen taking into account the stages of running-in and stable in linear function accumulation of damage in operation. Practical value. The use of the developed procedure for diagnosing the technical condition of the gears of gearboxes of heavy-duty machines will significantly increase the efficiency of their operation due to the transition from scheduled preventive maintenance to maintenance according to the actual technical condition.
Peculiarities of English-teaching practice for students of electrical engineering
Authors: Ponikarovska Svitlana
Published: December 2021

Problem. As engineering is a vast area of study in the world and English is a recognized language of international communication, knowledge of English is compulsory. Besides, we live in the digital age and English is the only language in latest version applications, installation guides and software instructions. Learning for students of engineering from not English-speaking countries is very important not only for their scholastic life, but also for their prospective career, mobility and successful communication. Goal. The goal of the work is to determine the features of teaching English to the students of electrical engineering, specify the role of English language for engineering students, outline the technique and methods of organizing the teaching process, look into innovative technologies of teaching. Methodology. The methodology is based on the analysis of the existing methods of teaching which are many, comparison of classical and innovative methods and analysis of the strategies of different methods. The paper emphasizes creative approach in teaching as a key to success. Results. The work provides a brief theoretical grounding and a working definition for creativity and motivation in teaching English for Specific Purposes and English as a Foreign language. It also explores the role and function of creativity in the context of the changing paradigm regarding the overall scope of the educational system in general and of the language learning in particular. Originality. The work offers combining creative methods and active strategies in fostering better language acquisition during English classes. When we see that the students are involved and motivated, it means that the strategy works. The teacher-oriented method is not currently welcomed in language teaching, and the ways to make it student-oriented are offered in the work. Practical value. The paper contains some practical advice on how a teacher can create more situations in which students can contribute, initiate, control and create. Keeping in mind the dependence of the learning success on creativity of teachers and motivation of students, new innovative methods of teaching in proper combination with theory of language can be used.
The “Exaggerated” Colors of Black Narcissus (1947 and 2020)
Authors: Street Sarah
Published: December 2021

This article explores the correspondences and differences in terms of color design between two screen versions of Black Narcissus, a popular novel by Rumer Godden published in 1939. Conceptual approaches drawn upon include ideas of “the figural,” intertextuality and hybridity as central to understanding how Black Narcissus operates on many complex levels, arguing that color is a key expressive mode in their articulation. Powell and Pressburger’s 1947 film and a 2020 television mini-series directed by Charlotte Bruus Christensen are for the first time compared in relation to landscape and the natural environment; interior spaces; costume; race. The texts’ experimentation with color, lighting and diffusion enables boundaries between exterior and interior spaces, as well as between characters’ memories and repressed desires, to be problematized. As “end of empire” texts, the literary and screen iterations of Black Narcissus are related to postcolonial theories in which a series of hybrid, “in-between” spaces and cultural attitudes are explored.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the research is efficacy evaluation of the anticoccidial drug Solycox combined with the feed additive Chiktonik against avian eimeriosis.

Materials and methods. The experiments were carried out on the Makhachkalinskaya poultry farm, which was contaminated with eimeriosis, on healthy 1 day old Ross-308 broilers. Two groups were formed from the selected chickens, test and control, 50 birds each. From the first day of life, broiler chickens from the test group were administered Solycox at a dose of 2 ml per 1 liter of drinking water combined with the feed additive Chiktonik at the rate of 1 ml per 1 liter of drinking water. The control chickens were not prescribed any anticoccidial drug or feed additive.

Results and discussion. We established high efficacy of Solycox combined with Chiktonik against eimeriosis of broiler chickens (96%). Solycox combined with Chiktonik contributes to the poultry viability and resistance to the disease, and has a positive effect on productivity. The results of the studies allow us to recommend Solycox and Chiktonik to prevent and treat eimeriosis of broiler chickens.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the researchis study of pinniped helminth fauna in Chukotka, and the analysis of the fish of the main commercial families infected with pathogens of helminthozoonoses based on modern literature.

Materials and methods. The helminths were collected in autumn of 2019 from pinnipeds caught in the Mechigmenskaya Guba of the Bering Sea in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug by the method of partial helminthological dissection per Skryabin (gastrointestinal tract). Samples were examined from 6 walruses and 26 seals (13 spotted seals and 13 ringed seals). The helminths found were fixed in 70% alcohol. The helminth species were identified at the Department of Parasitology and Veterinary and Sanitary Examination of the MVA named after K. I. Skryabin using reference literature.

Results and discussion. All pinnipeds were infected with nematodes of the family Anisakidae. Mature Pseudoterranova desipiens were found in the walrus (Infection Prevalence = 16.7% with Infection Intensity = 3 specimens/animal), mature Ps. desipiens, as well as Contracoecum osculatum and Anisakis simplex larvae (IP = 30.8% with II from 5 to 57 specimens) were found in the spotted seal, and Ps. desipiens larvae and mature Ps. desipiens were found in the ringed seal (IP = 15.4% with II from 1 to 4 specimens). Thus, only Ps. desipiens were represented by mature stages (females and males), and two other species of anisakids, C. osculatum and A. simplex, were found in the seals in the larval stage.

Authors: Lazarenko E. V. , Gnusareva O. A. , Shaposhnikova L. I. , Dubyansky V. M.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the research is the assessment of the Francisella tularensis occurrence in nature in ticks of the genus Dermacentor; understanding the physiological age in terms of tick infection with tularemia pathogen.

Materials and methods. For the period from 2015 to 2019, we examined 8449 specimens of Dermacentor marginatus (916 pools), 8674 specimens of D. reticulatus (705 pools), and 109 specimens of D. niveus (40 pools) for tularemia infection. To assess the dependence of tularemia pathogen found in ticks of different physiological ages, we examined 2440 specimens of D. marginatus (360 pools), and 3349 specimens of D. reticulatus (412 pools) for the period from 2016 to 2019. Studies of ixodid ticks infected with tularemia pathogen were performed by the Natural Focal Infection Laboratory of the Stavropol Anti-Plague Institute. Pools of ixodid ticks were examined for the pathogen DNA of tularemia using reagent kits for identifying Francisella tularensis DNA by polymerase chain reaction with fluorescence hybridization of results recorded in real time.

Results and discussion. The infection rate of the tularemia pathogen in ticks in the Central Pre-Caucasian region ranged from 0.044–1.127% in D. marginatus and 0.035–1.455% in D. reticulatus in different years. The greatest number of F. tularensis was isolated from the III physiological age ticks. For D. reticulatus ticks, no statistically significant dependence of the detected tularemia pathogen on physiological age was found.
Physiological and biochemical mechanisms of the hen’s body recovery from dermanyssosis associated with deacarization
Authors: Indyuhova E. N. , Arisov M. V. , Maximov V. I. , Azarnova T. O.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the research is to study the efficacy of the insectoacaricide "5% D-cyphenotrine emulsion" against infestation of birds with Dermanyssus gallinae (dermanyssosis) after the deacarization of the poultry building and to characterize physiological and biochemical mechanisms of the recovery of Hy-Line hens after removed parasites.

Materials and methods. A parasitological examination of the poultry farm found D. gallinae in one of the poultry buildings. Given positive results of the drug efficacy against the poultry red mite, we analyzed the morpho-physiological and physiological and biochemical parameters of the hen’s blood before and 10 and 20 days after the treatments. Changes in the ethological status of birds were recorded. We used 0.005% aqueous emulsion of "5% D-cyphenothrin emulsion" for treatment. To obtain it, the drug was diluted with water at a ratio of 1:1000 immediately before use.

Results and discussion. After double treatment with "5% D-cyphenotrine emulsion" of the shop with hens from the test group, no live poultry red mite was found. Within 20 days after the disease reduction, representatives of this group showed high concentrations of cortisol which were 2.3–2.4 times (p < 0.001) higher than those of healthy hens. This indicates that the stress state of hens still remains after the parasitizing of D. gallinae. In addition, the recovery process takes a long time and with great stress for all systems of their body. This is also confirmed by a high level of lipid peroxidation. At the same time, high intensity of gluconeogenesis and, as a result, deterioration of lipid and protein metabolism were recorded in the hens in question. The positive results indicate an increasing need for additional energy expenditures which are paramount for the effective and well-timed implementation of adaptation mechanisms. It should be noted here that the values of all the above-mentioned indicators tend to normalize by the end of the study period. The changes noted in the blood of birds indicate the restoration of a number of body systems. The poultry red mite as an emergency factor affects the morphophysiology of the blood, in particular, the level of white blood cells, which is restored by the 10th day after deacarization, which triggers regenerative and reparative processes. There were also changes in the number of cells of the immune system, an increase in hemoglobin concentration to control values and optimization of behavior in representatives of the test group which are largely related to the normalized physiological activity of the thyroid gland after the poultry building deacarization. We found a partial recovery of the hen’s body systems after the poultry building deacarization with the drug "5% D-cyphenotrine emulsion", which is due to the long-term parasitizing of D. gallinae, a stressor of extreme strength.
Effect of therapeutic and prophylactic complex DLK (Dironet, Lactobifadol, Forage Keratin) on the intestinal microbiocenosis of the Blue Frost fox at toxascariosis
Authors: Konovalov A. P. , Tsepilova I. I. , Vasilevich F. I. , Pigina S. Y.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the research is determining the effect of the therapeutic and prophylactic complex of Dironet, Lactobifadol and fodder Keratin (DLK) on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the intestinal microflora affected by toxascariosis in the Blue Frost fox.

Materials and methods. The research was carried out on the Fur Breeding Farm “Vyatka”, Slobodskoy District, the Kirov Region. The study objects were 24 female Blue Frost foxes culled from the breeding herd. To determine the quality of the skins obtained from the experimental animals, we sorted flint-dried skins.

Results and discussion. After the introduction of the therapeutic and preventive complex DLK into the diet of sick animals, the positive dynamics was observed in the quantitative and qualitative composition of intestinal microorganisms. In animals of the experimental groups that were administered DLK, the number of bifidus bacteria, lactic bacteria and fecal enterococci increased; there was a significant decrease or complete absence of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, fusobacteria, streptococci, clostridia, typical lactose-negative and hemolytic Escherichia, aureus and saprophytic staphylococcus, common Proteus and fungi of the Candida genus. In animals infected by Toxascaris leonina that did not receive the complex therapy, a decrease in lactic acid bacteria and an increase in the content of pathogenic and commensal microorganisms were noted. Under the output of the fur production, the infected animals showed the lowest percentage of skins in terms of quality of 7.16%, which was 0.38% less in comparison with healthy foxes, and 0.51% less in comparison with treated Blue Frost foxes.
Yapay Zekâ Düalizminde Özbilinçlilik Halinin Varlığı ve Yıkımı Üzerine
Authors: SEVİMLİ Mehmet Ali , SERARSLAN Meral
Published: December 2021

İnsan doğasını anlama ve açıklama gayreti insanlığın en eski düşünsel faaliyetlerinden biridir. Modern bilim, geldiği noktada, insan doğasını açıklayabilmek adına önemli aşamalar kaydetmiştir. Ancak yüzyıllardır bilim insanları arasında “zihnin doğası ve bilinç” üzerine ortaya çıkan paradoks dikkat çekicidir. İnsan varlığına ilişkin çok az şey zihin ve bilinç kadar gizemlidir. Çağdaş felsefenin önemli alanlarından birisi olan zihin felsefesi, bu gizemi zihnin metafiziğine ve ontolojik statüsüne odaklanarak çözmeye çalışan bir felsefi disiplindir. Renê Descartes’ın zihin ve beden arasındaki ayrılığı savunduğu ‘töz düalizmi’ kavramıyla somut bir şekilde tartışılmaya başlanan ve halen çağdaş filozoflar tarafından tartışmalara konu olan zihin- beden probleminin dayandığı son nokta ise “yapay zekâ problemi”dir. Buradaki en önemli soru ise, insan zihnine eşdeğer yapay bir zihin üretilebilir mi? sorusudur. Bu soruya cevap verenler, zihin felsefesi bağlamında “zayıf yapay zekâ” ve “güçlü yapay zekâ” olarak ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Güçlü yapay zekâyı savunan cephenin en önemli çıkmazlarından birisi, öznenin kendisinden eminliğini doğrulaması anlamına gelen ‘özbilinçlilik hali’dir. Bu konu sinema filmlerinde de sıkça ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada yönetmenliğini Ridley Scott’un yaptığı 1982 yapımı Blade Runner filmi incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, filmdeki yapay zekâ kullanımının “zayıf yapay zekâ” ya da “güçlü yapay zekâ” görüşlerinden hangisine denk düştüğünü “özbilinçlilik’ paradoksu zemininde ortaya koymaktır. Betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılarak tasarlanan araştırma sonucunda Blade Runner filmindeki “yapay zekâ” kullanımının “güçlü yapay zekâ” teorisine uygun olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
Emotional Appeal of Science Fiction Cinema: In Awe of Interstellar
Authors: SARI Mehmet
Published: December 2021

Science fiction has almost become the modern-day mythology, and compared to literature, it is a genre that attracts masses of people in the field of cinema. The ‘sublime,’ which is identified as one of the attractive aspects of science fiction literature, is a philosophical and aesthetic concept with a wide semantic variation associated with greatness, power and limitlessness. The expression of the sublime in cinema creates an emotion of ‘awe.’ Awe as a complex emotion is being increasingly explored in theoretical and empirical studies in recent years. In this study, the emotion of awe is examined on the example of Interstellar (Christopher Nolan, 2014). The film has distinctive depictions of the sublime and it suggests two distinguishing features of awe (i.e., vastness and a need for accommodation) by treating various aspects of science fiction themes and by its affective qualities. It has been concluded that awe as a cinematic emotion is the emotional core of Interstellar. The film embodies the operational structure of awe.
Suyun Sesi Filminde Posthümanist Perspektiften Öteki-Oluş
Authors: ERGÜN TAKAN Duygu
Published: December 2021

Öteki oluş (Becoming-other), posthümanist perspektifte insan-olmayanı işaret etmektedir. İnsan dışı oluş biçimleri, hümanizm karşıtlığından beslenir. Aydınlanma düşüncesiyle beraber yükselen ve insanı merkeze alan hümanizm kavramı, her ne kadar insan oluşla ilişkili bir olumlama ifadesi gibi görünse de esasında insanın en tepede olduğu, geri kalan her şeyin -hayvanlar, bitkiler, teknoloji, ekoloji- insanın varlığına hizmet etmek amacıyla onun altında konumlandırıldığı tek taraflı ve ayrımcı bir yaşam piramidi olmaktan öte gidememiştir. Posthümanist düşünce, evrensel ölçekte hem insan hem de insan olmayan faillerle etkileşimimizin temel ilkelerini yeniden düşünmemize yardım edecek alternatif bir araç olarak yorumlamaktadır. Guillermo del Toro’nun yönetmenliğini ve Vanessa Taylor ile birlikte senaristliğini üstlendiği 2017 Amerika ve Kanada ortak yapımı The Shape of Water (Suyun Sesi, Guillermo del Toro, 2017) filmi, 1962’de Soğuk Savaş döneminde Amazon Nehri’nde bulunan bir amfibinin etrafında şekillenir. Filmde, ne olmadığıyla ifade etmenin daha kolay olduğu canlının, ne olduğuna dair spekülasyonlar bulunmaktadır. Filmdeki canlı, bir insan değildir. Tam anlamıyla bir hayvan olduğu da söylenemez. Ancak biyopolitik bir amacın nesnesi olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Bu durumda yarı insan yarı makine hibrit bir canlıdan söz edilebilir. Net bir ifadeyle tanımlanamaması nedeniyle söz konusu canlının öteki-oluşu temsil ettiği görüşünden hareketle makalede, her türden ötekileştirmenin kökeninde yatan insan türü eleştiriye açılarak insan-merkezci bakışın dışından bir okuma yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda sırasıyla oluş ve öteki-oluş kavramları açıklanmış, ardından posthümanizm kavramına ve posthümanist oluş biçimlerine değinilmiştir. Son olarak film, merkeze aldığı amfibiye yönelik biyopolitik müdahaleleri vurgulaması dolayısıyla, türsel ayrımcılık ve hayvan-oluş kavramları özelinde, içerik analizi yöntemiyle tartışılmaya çalışılmıştır.
Oryantalist Bakış Yeniden Djam (Aman Doktor) Filminde İstanbul
Authors: GÜVEN AKDOĞAN Özge
Published: December 2021

Bu çalışma, Batının kendi dışındaki yer ve kültürler hakkında ürettiği söylemlerdeki iktidar konumu irdeleyen oryantalizm incelemelerini odağına alarak Djam (Aman Doktor, Tony Gatlif, 2017) filmini araştırmaktadır. İstanbul’un, Doğu hakkında Batı’nın ürettiği sanatsal, bilimsel ve akademik metinlerin oluşturduğu temsillerin incelenmesinde, Avrupa ile Doğu arasındaki yolculuklarda egzotik toprakların giriş noktası olarak görülmesi bakımından önemli bir yeri vardır. Çalışmada, Aman Doktor filmindeki İstanbul görüntülerine odaklanılırken, oryantalist kuramda yerini bulan Doğu fantezilerinden yararlanılmaktadır. Filmde, kahramanın, kayıp/eksik nesne olan biyel kolunu aramak üzere yolculuğa çıkması, gezginin farklılıkları nasıl kullandığı sorununu gündeme getirmektedir. Avrupa kıtasının Doğusunda yer alan Yunanistan’da bulunamayan bu eksik nesne, Lacancı anlamda da çözümlenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda filmde, arzu nesnesi olarak İstanbul’un, erişilmez olanın fantazisinden kaynaklandığı vurgulanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, filmin Doğu’ya yönelik üretilen oryantalist ötekileştirme özelliklerini barındırdığı söylenmektedir.

The COVID-19
pandemic and containment efforts seem to be particularly challenging for
adolescents. This study assessed mental health in 14- to 20-year-old high
school students 1.5 years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in
Austria. A cross-sectional survey was carried out from 14th
September 2021 to 14th November 2021. Well-being (WHO-5), depressive
symptoms (PHQ-9), anxiety symptoms (GAD-7) and sleep quality (ISI) were
assessed. A total of 1505 adolescents participated
(77.9% girls). The cut-off
for
clinically relevant depressive symptoms (i.e., PHQ-9 score, ≥11) was exceeded
by 61.9% girls and 38.1% boys and 49.3% girls and 28.8% boys had clinically
relevant anxiety symptoms (i.e., GAD-7 score, ≥11). Clinically relevant moderate
insomnia (i.e., ISI score, ≥15) was reported by 27.5% girls and 16.7% boys. The
prevalence of suicidal ideation (item 9 of the PHQ-9) within the last 2 weeks
was 46.8% in girls and 32.0% in boys. These data collected in autumn 2021 (at
the start of the second semester of reopened schools; t2) were compared
to data collected in February 2021 (one semester after almost exclusively remote
schooling; t1). A matched pairs analysis according to age, gender, region,
school type and migration background resulted in a total sample size of N = 2514
adolescents (70.1% females). Results showed small reduction in mental health
(i.e., well-being, depressive symptoms, insomnia, suicidal ideation) in girls at
t2 compared to t1, and an increase in suicidal thoughts in boys (all p-values
<0.05). Results suggest that mental health burden in adolescents remained
high 1.5 years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and highlight the need
to implement timely psychological support.

Namun dengan semakin kuatnya integrasi ekonomi antar negara, risiko moneterpun kian bertambah, seperti halnya fluktuasi ekonomi disuatu negara dapat memiliki efek domino kepada negara lainnya.

Instagram is a social network that was born from a company called Burbn, Inc. which was founded on October 6, 2010. The company was founded by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger who currently serve as CEOs of Instagram. Instagram is a photo and video sharing application that allows users to take photos, take videos, apply digital filters, and share them on various social networking services owned by Instagram itself. One of the unique features on Instagram is that it looks like a photo into a square shape, so you can see the results of the Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid cameras. This study aims to determine the ratios contained in social media Instagram. These ratios can later be used to perform analyzes that can be determined mathematically. The research method used is exploratory to find the variables contained in Instagram. These variables will be tested, so that relevant ratios can be found to be used to assess the performance of an Instagram account. The results of this Instagram social media research show that 14 ratios that can be used to assess, measure and compare come from an Instagram account. The implication of finding this ratio is that further researchers can conduct quantitative research in measuring, assessing and comparing accounts on Instagram.

Uncertain Portfolio Optimization based on Dempster-Shafer Theory
Authors: Eskorouchi Amir Hossein
Published: December 2021

Nowadays, the selection and management of the optimal portfolio are the most primary fields of financial decision-making. Thereby, selecting a portfolio capable of providing the highest efficiency and, at the same time, the lowest investment risk has been turned into one of the most critical concerns among financial activists. However, in this selection, the two factors above are not the only determining ones. Various factors are affecting financial markets' behavior under different possible scenarios, which should be identified. In this paper, we examine the high sensitivity of the Iranian capital market to the exchange rate fluctuations in the different scenarios due to the lack of a unified view of the value of that rate among experts as one of the mentioned factors and obtain its value using Dempster–Shafer theory (DST). Then, a portfolio selection model that prefers stocks with higher ranks is proposed. Representative results of the real-life case study reveal that the submitted approach is productive and practically applicable.
Why engineering laws have been irrational for more than 70 years, and rational laws to replace them
Authors: ADIUTORI EUGENE
Published: December 2021

This article describes why conventional engineering laws have been irrational since sometime before 1951, and presents rational laws to replace them. Conventional engineering laws are irrational because they are based on the assumption that dimensions can rationally be assigned to numbers. In 1951, a text on dimension analysis notes that dimensions cannot rationally be assigned to numbers. Therefore conventional engineering laws are irrational. Rational laws determined by induction are presented in the text.

Lung cancer attracts greater stigma than other cancer types in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Godward Jess , Riordan Benjamin , Winter Taylor , Ashton John , Scarf Damian
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Aotearoa New Zealand, killing over 1,700 people each year. Despite the burden of lung cancer, a recent stuff.co.nz article called lung cancer deaths ‘the cancer disgrace that no-one-talks about’. When asked about this Professor Ross Lawrenson hypothesized that the low survival rate meant that few people made the transition from patient to advocate. Here, we investigate another, lung-cancer stigma.Method: Participants completed the Cancer Stigma Scale (CSS) for one of five cancer types (lung, cervical, breast, skin, or bowel). The CSS is a 25-item scale, with items that tap awkwardness, avoidance, severity, policy opposition, personal responsibility, and financial discrimination.Results: Relative to most other cancer types included, people were more likely to avoid someone with lung cancer, view interacting with someone with lung cancer as more awkward, and view people with lung cancer as being responsible for their condition.Conclusion: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Aotearoa New Zealand. Unfortunately, the current study suggests that lung cancer also leads the way with respect to stigma, with patients not only attracting higher levels of blame but also higher levels of ostracism.
Reports of the Death of Expertise May Be Exaggerated: Limits on Knowledge Resistance in Health and Medicine
Authors: Santos Henri C. , Meyer Michelle N. , Chabris Christopher F.
Published: December 2021

During the past decade the idea that expertise is dead, or at best moribund, has become commonplace. Knowledge resistance appears to be growing more politicized and is increasing across a wide range of science-based topics, such as agriculture, evolution and genetics, vaccination, and climate change; even flat-earth beliefs are undergoing a renaissance. But in many of these areas, denying expert authority is cost-free in everyday behavior, making it more rational for people to prize identity and group affiliation over realism. To probe the health of expertise in a domain with everyday consequences for knowledge resistance, we conducted three incentive-compatible studies of laypeople’s preferences for sources of information they would read about specific medical conditions (e.g., heart disease, cancer, COVID-19). We found quite rational preference patterns, by which people preferred sources based on experts (physicians and scientists) over non-experts (celebrities and politicians) and group consensus (professional societies, polls) over individual opinions. These findings held most strongly for issues of personal medical concern, but were robust for less concerning health conditions, and for the highly politicized topic of COVID-19. Individuals who scored higher in intellectual humility and preferences for rational over experiential thinking were more likely to prefer the most expert sources. Expertise retains broad respect in the medical domain, at least when one’s own health is at stake.
The Future of Cereal Prices
Authors: Valera Harold Glenn , Balie Jean , Pede Valerien
Published: December 2021

The current literature on predicting long-term food prices includes three types of projections based on declining, steady, and rising prices. However, these projections have mainly focused on key drivers such as population, income, agricultural productivity, and climate change. In addition, these projections have not previously connected to agricultural support policies. This note aims to fill this gap in the literature by focusing on cereal price outlook and providing comments on further critical drivers of change that merit greater attention in the future.
