The “inner man” – Fundamental Concept of Pauline Anthropology?
Authors: Hecht Stephan
Published: April 2022

The reader of the Pauline Epistles encounters the metaphor of the “inner man” for the first time in 2 Cor 4:16. Inconspicuous at first glance, this metaphor reveals not only a wide reception history within Christian thought and tradition but also a conceptual depth which brings us close to the origins of our thought on human personality and subjectivity. In this article, I want thus to elaborate on the concept of the “inner man” in Paul. Tracing its origins in Plato, I want to show how this metaphor must be understood on a conceptual level using metaphors as archaeological tools that help to discover concepts that might get lost when only interpreted as linguistic ornaments. Claiming that Plato explicitly expresses the human »self« as a continuous agent in front of changing phenomena of the human soul with his concept of the “inner man,” I will then turn to Paul. Even though it is impossible to trace the exact origins of this metaphor in the writings of the Apostle, it is my thesis that it can be found in 2 Cor 4:16 in substance. Paul thus uses the metaphor of the “inner man” to express the newly redeemed and yet justified Christian »self« that is confronted with opposition and contradiction that waste away the outer man. The exact Greek wording of this metaphor allows to identify the pictorial level of this metaphor in Paul with the temple in Jerusalem. As I will show, Paul thus integrates two anthropological lines that he derives from the creational accounts in the “inner man,” showing interesting parallels to Philo of Alexandria. With the metaphor of the “inner man,” the reader of 2 Cor 4:16 therefore encounters a or even the fundamental concept of Pauline Anthropology.
OSMANLI DEVLETİ’NDE TAŞRADA MUHTARLIK TEŞKİLATININ KURULUŞU: BOLU ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: SÜME Mehmet
Published: April 2022

II. Mahmut (1808-1839) iktisadi, askeri, idari, hukuki, eğitim ve sosyal alanlarda bir dizi yenilikler yapmıştır. Bu yeniliklerin birçoğunun en karakteristik özelliği alanlarında ilk olmalarıdır. Bu ilklerden biri de Osmanlı ülkesinde muhtarlık teşkilatının kurulmasıdır. Osmanlı Devleti’nde XIX. yüzyılın ilk yarısına kadar köy mahalle idaresinden imamlar sorumluydu. Muhtarlık teşkilatı ilk kez 1829’da İstanbul’da kuruldu. Bu uygulama taşrada ise ilk kez Kastamonu’da gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kastamonu sancağı mütesellimi Dede Mustafa Ağa İstanbul’daki muhtarlık uygulamasını örnek alarak 1833 yılında taşradaki ilk muhtarlık uygulamasını başlatmıştır. Dede Mustafa Ağa Kastamonu’da yaptığı çalışmaları ve elde ettiği sonuçları bir rapor haline getirerek İstanbul’a sunmuştur. Dönemin padişahı II. Mahmud bu uygulamadan memnun kalmış ülke genelinde muhtarlık teşkilatın ihdas edilmesini istemiştir.

Bolu bu dönemde Kastamonu Eyaletine bağlı bir sancak statüsündeydi. Dolayısıyla Bolu taşrada Kastamonu ile birlikte muhtarlık teşkilatının ilk kurulduğu beldelerden biridir. Bolu sancağında seçilen muhtarların isimleri 19 Haziran 1834 tarihi itibarıyla İstanbul’a bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Bolu’da muhtarlık teşkilatının kuruluşu anlatılarak teşkilatın taşrada kuruluşuna ilişkin bilgiler verilmeye çalışılacaktır. Ayrıca muhtarlık teşkilatının taşrada kuruluşuna ilişkin Anadolu ve Rumeli’deki uygulamalarından, örnekler verilerek konuya ilişkin farklı yaklaşımlar bir karara bağlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Benzer bir husus gayrimüslim mahallelerindeki kocabaşı veya kethüda seçimi için de geçerlidir.

Published: April 2022

Trabzon ilinin Klasik Çağ öncesi, Anadolu Arkeolojisinde şimdiye kadar yeterince araştırılmamış bir konuydu. Trabzon, Karadeniz kıyılarındaki en önemli yerleşim bölgelerinden biri olmasına karşın Klasik Çağ öncesine ait somut arkeolojik veri kaydedilmiş değildi. Bu durum eski kaynaklardaki bölgeyle ilgili bilgiler için de geçerli idi. Eski kaynaklarda haklarında birtakım bilgiler verilen bölgenin eski halklarının, Klasik Çağ’da Anadolu’nun diğer yerlerine göre daha primitif bir yaşam sürdürdükleri, hatta bunun Roma Çağı için de geçerli olduğu açıktır. Ancak 2018 yılında başlayan Trabzon İli Yüzey Araştırması projesi, bölgenin uzak geçmişini ortaya çıkarmaya ve bölgenin geçmişine dair görüntüsünü değiştirmeye başlamıştır. Araştırmanın üçüncü yılı, ilin batı yarısını oluşturan Maçka, Akçaabat, Düzköy, Tonya, Beşikdüzü ve Şalpazarı ilçelerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Eylül 2021 tarihinde 20 gün süren araştırma neticesinde, Paleolitik Çağ’a tarihlendirilen yeni bir mağara ve yontmataş buluntularının saptanması ile birlikte söz konusu dönem için bölgenin artan önemi belgelenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra ilk defa 2019 yılında saptanan Kalecik Kalesi’nin yeniden incelenmesi ile Doğu Karadeniz Dağları’nın kuzeyinde, Erken Demir Çağı’nda, kuzeydoğu Anadolu ve Kafkasya ile ilişkili daha çok verinin elde edilmesi sağlanmıştır. Önümüzdeki yıllarda devam edecek olan araştırmaların Trabzon ve çevre bölgelerin tarihsel süreç içerisindeki değerinin anlaşılmasına önemli katkılar sunacağı açıktır.
93 HARBİ’NDEN SONRA LİVANE MUHACİRLERİNİN YAŞADIĞI SIKINTILAR
Authors: YÜCETÜRK Zemzem
Published: April 2022

Tarihe 93 Harbi olarak da geçen ve Osmanlı Devleti ile Rusya arasında gerçekleşen 1877-78 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı’ndan sonra imzalanan Berlin Antlaşması ile Osmanlı Devleti Kars, Ardahan ve Batum’u Rusya’ya terk etmiştir. Lazistan Sancağı olarak da anılan Batum Sancağı’nın kazası olan Livane Kazası da böylece Rus hâkimiyetine geçmiştir. Rusya’ya terk edilen bu bölge halkı savaş sırasında işgale karşı koydukları gibi, savaş bittikten sonra da bulundukları bölgeyi terk etmek istememiştir. Ancak Osmanlı Devleti bu bölgeleri boşaltmaya karar verdiği için göç etmek zorunda kalmışlardır. Rusya ile yapılan anlaşmaya göre üç yıllık sürede birçok insan Anadolu’nun diğer topraklarına yerleşmişlerdir. Göçler İstanbul, Samsun, Çorum, Tokat, Yozgat, Adapazarı, İzmit ve özellikle Bursa gibi şehirlere yapılmıştır. Söz konusu çalışmada Livane Kazası halkının göçler sırasında ve sonrasında yaşadıkları sıkıntılar ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Göç etmek isteyen halk emlak satışları sırasında Rus ve Ermeni memurlarının engeliyle karşılaşmış, çoğu düşük fiyatlarla mülklerini satmak zorunda kalmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti’ne göç edip, Livane Kazası’nda mülkü kalan halk ise mülklerinin hukukundan endişe edip bu konuda devletten yardım istemişlerdir. Halkın göç etmesini de Rusya Devleti engellemeye çalışmıştır. Müslüman ahali göçleri mahalli hükümet tarafından engellenmeye çalışılınca Osmanlı Devleti’nden yardım istemişlerdir. Halkın çoğu ise yol ve su parasını bile ödeyemeyecek durumda yollara düştüğü gibi göçleri esnasında salgın hastalıklarla karşılaşmıştır. Anadolu’ya geldikleri zaman da yerleştirme problemleriyle karşılaşan halk sefalet içinde kalmıştır. Bütün bu olumsuzluklara rağmen Osmanlı Devleti muhacirlerin iskânı için gerekli çalışmaları yapmış, Livane muhacirlerinden göç sırasında salgın hastalığa yakalananların tedavisinde ve bu insanların Anadolu’ya nakilleri sırasında iaşelerinin temin edilmesinde hizmeti görülen kişileri taltiflendirmiştir.

THE PARTISAN MOVEMENT IN SIBERIA AS ASSESSED IN SOVIET HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE 1920–50S: MYTHS AND REALIA
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Dementev A.P. , Drobchenko V.A. ,   Siberian Federal University
Published: April 2022

The article discusses the process of formation of the Soviet historiography of the partisan movement in Siberia in the 1920–50s. The matter of the essence of the partisan movement were first addressed by V. I. Lenin, as well as red and white propagandists. The first studies in the early 1920s were compiled by direct participants in the events. However, some assessments are controversial, they are characterized by the absence of ideological clichés. Some of the issues raised by them have not yet received adequate coverage. Only from the middle of 1920s the official concept of the partisan movement began to form and to be fit into the framework of the dominant ideology. It was based on three main provisions: organizers and leaders of the partisan movement were the Bolsheviks; in its vanguard there was the working class; the movement enjoyed mass support from the people, who aspired to restore Soviet power. At the same time, formation of a source base on the history of the partisan movement in Siberia began: collections of documents covering the partisan movement and memoirs of partisans were published. One of the imeprative attributes of the characteristics of the partisan movement was exposure of the Socialist-Revolutionary and Menshevik Compromisers, any actions of which were subject only to negative assessment. The restriction of the study of the partisan movement with a rigid framework caused distorting or silencing facts that did not fit into the scheme. Previously created works were subjected to correction. Growing ideological pressure prevented objective study of the partisan movement, as a result since the middle 30s, there was a significant reduction in the number of works on the issue.

Prospects for the application of aptamers in plant protection and crop production
Authors: Kovalenko A. A. , Sharoyko V. V. , Kazartsev* I. A.
Published: April 2022

In modern agriculture, there is a demand for alternative approaches to increase yields, to upgrade methods for detecting chemical contaminants, and to improve quality of phytosanitary diagnostics and the effectiveness of plant protection. One promising approach to addressing these issues is aptamer technology. Aptamers are oligonucleotide and peptide molecules capable of molecular recognition of both small inorganic and organic compounds, as well as proteins. Development of aptamers specific to the target molecule is performed in vitro using SELEX technology. Aptamer binding to the target follows principles common to antigen-antibody interaction. Due to this property, aptamers have found applications as targeted biological agents, «smart» materials, and new generation bioanalytical sensors. This review contains a brief analysis of the successes and prospects of applying aptamer technology in analytical monitoring and phytosanitary control. In particular, approaches and examples of aptamer-based test systems and sensors for detection of various compounds in natural objects, and related commercial products are discussed. Examples of aptamers application in development of “smart” fertilizers, innovative pesticides, and for engineering of plants resistant to viral diseases are also given.

Cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera is one of the most polyphagous and cosmopolitan pests. Intracellular endosymbionts are widespread in Lepidoptera, often playing an important role in their dynamics. The prevalence of endosymbionts of cotton bollworm in Russia was not investigated. Cotton bollworm larvae and adults were collected in 2018–2020 in Krasnodar Area, and in Voronezh and Saratov Regions (from 131 to 170 insects) and analyzed by PCR using sets of group-specific primers for baculoviruses (locus lef8), bacteria of the genus of Wolbachia (locus wsp), and microsporidia (locus SSU rRNA). Level of infection with baculoviruses was 16 % for the sample of 32 individuals collected in Temryuk District of Krasnodar Area in 2018. The infection rate of the entire sample of 170 individuals was 2.9 %. The lef8 locus demonstrated 98.7–99.6 % of sequence similarity to the nuclear polyhedrosis virus isolates from the cotton bollworm and American bollworm. Among the tested 131 insects, bacteria of the genus of Wolbachia were not detected. PCR screening for microsporidia revealed one positive larvae among 19 insects collected in Krasnoarmeysk District of Krasnodar Area in 2019, which corresponded to the prevalence of 5 %. Partial sequencing of the genes coding for SSU rRNA and largest subunit RNA polymerase II made it possible to identify the new isolate as N. bombycis.

Published: April 2022

A machine vision-based FPC defect detection method is designed to address the problems of low efficiency of FPC defect detection. The Otsu algorithm is applied for image segmentation to decompose the image into two parts: foreground and background; the SURF algorithm is applied to achieve image alignment, and then an experimental platform is built for detecting FPC defects. For the foreign colors, foreign objects, and pressure/scratch/scratch defects in the appearance of FPC boards, detection algorithms are designed to achieve automatic recognition and classification of FPC board defects according to their defect characteristics. Finally, based on the above, by calculating the detection of 10 groups of FPC boards containing defects, the average over-inspection rate is 5.66% and the average leakage rate is 8.74%, which are better than the values of manual visual inspection in enterprises.
Improve Object Detection with Knowledge Distillation
Authors: Wang Lixiang , Jin Lizuo , Yan Jun
Published: April 2022

Knowledge distillation is an effective method for model lightweighting. However, the previous distillation methods in object detection, in order to solve the problem of extreme imbalance between positive and negative examples, rely on manually adjusted hyper-parameters and lack generalization. And ignore the relationship information between different detection instances. Therefore, we propose a new distillation algorithm for the task. This algorithm automatically selects the Top k detection instances that need distillation most based on the network output, and fully considers the feature distillation based on the attention mechanism and the instance relationship distillation based on the Euclidean distance. Our results show that under various object detection frameworks, the student model has achieved a significant effect improvement with a lighter structure.

Silver coatings were prepared by middle frequency (MF) magnetron sputtering with different deposition current. The effects of currents on the microstructure were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were studied by using nanoindentation and electrochemical workstation. The results showed that the roughness and thickness of coatings rise obviously with increasing current. The XRD patterns indicated that the silver coating exhibit a strong Ag (111) preferred orientation and the grain size increased from 61.6 to 68.4 nm with incremental current from 1 A to 3 A. The deposition current also exhibited obvious influence on the mechanical properties and chemical corrosion resistance of the silver coatings, which decrease the hardness and elastic modulus of the coating. At deposition current with 1 A, the coating shows highest elastic modulus and hardness and of 218 GPa and 2.1 GPa, respectively, as well as the lowest corrosion current density of 0.26 A∙cm2 in the 3.5wt% NaCl solution.

Background: The Reducing Disability in Alzheimer’s Disease (RDAD) program is an evidence-based intervention found to be feasible for implementation in community settings in the United States, and effective in reducing depression, one of the major behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Objective: The goal of the study is to culturally adapt the RDAD for persons with dementia living in community settings of Thailand. Methods: Key adaptation steps included: 1) assess the community, 2) understand/select the intervention, 3) consult with experts/stakeholders, 4) decide what needs to be adapted, 5) adapt the original program, 6) train staff, and 7) pilot test the adapted materials. Results: Modifications to the original RDAD protocol included changes in number of sessions, mode of delivery, and the specific pleasant activities targeted. The pilot test demonstrated the feasibility and acceptance of the adapted RDAD intervention protocol. Implementers were able to comprehend and implement the core components of the intervention, while family members demonstrated ability to follow instructions, gain knowledge about dementia, and improve skills for setting up realistic goals. Conclusion: Following the key adaptation steps outlined above, we were able to successfully modify the RDAD for the Thai cultural context, maintaining core components of the original protocol. Program implementers demonstrated their ability to supervise family caregivers and help them gain the knowledge and skills needed to provide care for older adults with dementia. Findings from the pilot studies were incorporated into final training and intervention protocols currently being implemented and evaluated in a randomized implementation trial in Thailand.

We conducted a cross-sectional pilot study to explore the biological substrate of the Motoric Cognitive Risk (MCR) syndrome in a Memory Clinic cohort, using a multimodal imaging approach. Twenty participants were recruited and classified as MCR+/−. Amyloid- and tau-PET uptakes, temporal atrophy, white matter hyperintensities, lateral ventricular volume (LVV), and diffusion tensor parameters were compared between groups. No significant differences were found in imaging features related to Alzheimer’s disease or gross vascular damage. MCR+ patients had increased LVV and altered diffusion parameters in the superior corona radiata. Ventricular enlargement and microstructural damage of the surrounding white matter tracts could contribute to MCR pathophysiology.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a severe health problem. Challenges still remain in early diagnosis. Objective: The objective of this study was to build a Stacking framework for multi-classification of AD by a combination of neuroimaging and clinical features to improve the performance. Methods: The data we used were from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database with a total of 493 subjects, including 125 normal control (NC), 121 early mild cognitive impairment, 109 late mild cognitive impairment (LMCI), and 138 AD. We selected structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) feature by voting strategy. The imaging feature, demographic information, Mini-Mental State Examination, and Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale were combined together as classification features. We proposed a two-layer Stacking ensemble framework to classify four types of people. The first layer represented support vector machine, random forest, adaptive boosting, and gradient boosting decision tree; the second layer was a logistic regression classifier. Additionally, we analyzed performance of only sMRI feature and combined features and compared the proposed model with four base classifiers. Results: The Stacking model combined with sMRI and non-imaging features outshined four base classifiers with an average accuracy of 86.96%. Compared with using sMRI data alone, sMRI combined with non-imaging features significantly improved diagnostic accuracy, especially in NC versus LMCI. Conclusion: The Stacking framework we used can improve performance in diagnosis of AD using combined features.

Published: April 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia globally. There is increasing evidence showing AD has no single pathogenic mechanism, and thus treatment approaches focusing only on one mechanism are unlikely to be meaningfully effective. With only one potentially disease modifying treatment approved, targeting amyloid-β (Aβ), AD is underserved regarding effective drug treatments. Combining multiple drugs or designing treatments that target multiple pathways could be an effective therapeutic approach. Considering the distinction between added and combination therapies, one can conclude that most trials fall under the category of added therapies. For combination therapy to have an actual impact on the course of AD, it is likely necessary to target multiple mechanisms including but not limited to Aβ and tau pathology. Several challenges have to be addressed regarding combination therapy, including choosing the correct agents, the best time and stage of AD to intervene, designing and providing proper protocols for clinical trials. This can be achieved by a cooperation between the pharmaceutical industry, academia, private research centers, philanthropic institutions, and the regulatory bodies. Based on all the available information, the success of combination therapy to tackle complicated disorders such as cancer, and the blueprint already laid out on how to implement combination therapy and overcome its challenges, an argument can be made that the field has to move cautiously but quickly toward designing new clinical trials, further exploring the pathological mechanisms of AD, and re-examining the previous studies with combination therapies so that effective treatments for AD may be finally found.

Background: Early onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) represents a diagnostic challenge and is associated with a high diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis. Objective: To describe clinical and pathological data from a pathologically confirmed EOAD cohort and evaluate evolving trends in clinical-pathological correlation accuracy. Methods: Retrospective review of clinical and neuropathological data of pathologically confirmed EOAD patients (age at onset [AAO] < 60). Comparison between two periods: 1994– 2009 and 2010– 2018. Results: Eighty brain donors were included. Mean AAO, age at death, and diagnostic delay was 55, 66, and 3 years, respectively. Twenty-nine percent had a nonamnestic presentation. Sixteen percent were given a non-AD initial clinical diagnosis (initial misdiagnosis) and 14% received a final misdiagnosis. Nonamnestic presentation patients received more misdiagnoses than amnestic presentation ones (39% versus 7% and 39% versus 3.5%, on initial and final misdiagnosis, respectively). When comparing both time periods, a trend towards a higher diagnostic accuracy in the 2010– 2018 period was observed, mainly on initial misdiagnosis in nonamnestic presentation patients (53% versus 13%, p = 0.069). Diagnostic delay was similar between both periods. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (96%) and Lewy body co-pathology (55%) were very frequent, while limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy pathologic changes were only present in 12.5%. Conclusion: In the last decade, there has been a trend towards improved diagnostic accuracy in EOAD, which might be explained by improved diagnostic criteria, increasing experience on EOAD and the beginning of the use of biomarkers, although diagnostic delay remains similar. Concomitant neuropathology was very frequent despite the relatively young age of brain donors.

Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES) have better performance in terms of permeability and iron losses compared to conventional Fe-Si 3% Non-Oriented Grains Electrical Steel (NOES), particularly when it is magnetized in the rolling direction. This paper presents a concentrated winding radial flux permanent magnets synchronous machine (PMSM) equipped with teeth made of GOES sheet. The goal is to assess the suitability of the use of GOES sheets to improve the efficiency of electric motors. This work is based on the comparison of the performances (Joule losses, iron losses, losses in the permanent magnets and efficiency) of two iso-geometric motors: a reference motor made of NOES sheets and a motor with GOES sheet teeth, at iso-torque and over the operating range (at constant torque and flux weakening). The comparison is made using a finite element software application considering the magnetic anisotropy of the GOES sheets.

Published: April 2022

The research aimed to develop an optimal way of using known machine learning techniques in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) of flood embankments. The innovative approach is based on the smart use of many machine learning techniques to allow the optimal selection of one of these techniques for each pixel of the tomographic image. An additional advantage of the presented concept is that selecting the optimal method for each pixel depends on the measurement set of a given case. This fact makes the method flexible and enables the automation of dyke monitoring using cyber-physical systems. Several machine learning methods were used during the research, including Elastic Net, Support Vector Machine, and Artificial Neural Networks. The comparison of the new concept with popular methods showed that thanks to pixel-oriented ensemble learning, the reconstructions obtained with the new approach are much better than those obtained with typical machine learning methods.

Published: April 2022

Throughout the past few decades, the share of distributed generation in power systems has increased continuously. This increasing trend coupled with the continuous demand growth in the distribution systems started a shift towards heavier reactive power consumption. The latter paved the way for the development of advanced operational and planning algorithms for power distribution systems. Following these trends in the distribution systems, the distribution grids must be developed with greater reliability and flexibility, i.e. smart grids. Consequently, the implementation of smart technologies instead of traditional ones should be considered wherever feasible. This paper presents an approach for optimal placement, economic sizing, and operation point search of distribution static VAR compensator (D-SVC) using an exhaustive analytical search. The proposed algorithm introduces quite a few novelties, unique, superior, and repetitive results presented on a distribution test system IEEE 69.

Authors: Li Congdong , Wang Dan , Yang Weiming
Published: April 2022

Reusing design knowledge of products is a useful way to solve the efficiency issue of complex product design. The design knowledge is tacit, empirical, and unstructured and there exists insufficient case matching and inefficient design reuse in complex products design process. Aiming at these problems, this paper presents an improved case-based reasoning methodology combining ontology with two-stage retrieval. Firstly, a knowledge domain ontology model of complex product design is constructed, and the technology of ontology-based data access is introduced to automatically generate a case knowledge base with semantic information. Then, a new two-stage case retrieval method integrated semantic query with similarity calculation is proposed. The case subset is selected by query statements. It has the characteristic of isomorphism with design problem. The retrieval mechanism is applied to compress the traversal space, reduce the redundancy of semantic similarity calculation, improve the retrieval efficiency, and fulfill the target of case reuse. Finally, a variant design of the chiller unit as an example is executed to illustrate the use of the proposed method, and experiments are organized to evaluate its performance. The result shows that the proposed approach has an average precision of 92% and high stability, outperforming existing methods.
