Authors: Obukhov Sergey G. , Davydov Denis Yu.
Published: June 2024

Relevance. One of the priority areas for modern energy development is the active use of renewable energy technologies, the leading position among which in terms of the volume of commissioned generating capacity and areas of practical application is occupied by photovoltaics. In recent years, solar photovoltaic plants are increasingly being used as part of autonomous power supply systems, which is largely facilitated by a significant reduction in the cost of their components due to improved technology. Autonomous power supply systems can vary significantly in power, operating conditions, requirements for uninterrupted power supply and many other factors. This determines the high importance of the task of choosing the composition of the main electrical equipment that ensures optimal technical and economic indicators of the designed energy system. To make a reasonable choice of the equipment of an autonomous photovoltaic power plant, simulation models of all its main components are required that adequately reflect their performance characteristics under real operating conditions. An important component of autonomous photovoltaic plants is the energy storage device, which includes a battery and a solar controller that manages the energy balance of the power plant. The settings of the solar controller largely determine the operating modes of the photovoltaic power plant, on which the service life of the batteries primarily depends. Taking into account the fact that the costs of energy storage constitute a significant share of the costs of the total financial investments in the designed power plant, the problem of reliably assessing the service life of batteries is very relevant. Aim. Development of a mathematical model of energy storage system for the design and optimization of the equipment of autonomous photovoltaic plants. Methods. Mathematical and numerical modeling using the MatLab/Simulink software package. Results. A mathematical model of a battery has been developed, based on the modified Shepherd model and the kinetic model of a rechargeable battery. The model is universal and can be used to simulate the static and dynamic characteristics of different types of batteries. To identify model parameters, only the technical specification data provided by the manufacturer is sufficient. The complex model includes a battery life model, which allows you to dynamically adjust the available maximum battery capacity during operation.

Published: June 2024

Background: Fatty liver is a major metabolic disorder of dairy cows with a high morbidity rate during early lactation. Diagnosis of mild and moderate fatty liver is difficult because affected cows often do not differ clinically from cows with normal liver. The need for the early identification of fatty liver cannot be overemphasized as it appears to be the root cause for occurrence of many post-partum metabolic diseases. A precise diagnosis of the different categories of fatty liver is possible by liver biopsies which entail a minor surgery. Spectral doppler is yet another milestone in identification of fatty infiltration of liver, without causing any trauma to the liver. With this backdrop this research study was carried out to document the ultrasonographic pattern of liver, to evaluate the Spectral Doppler derived indices of portal blood flow in fatty liver syndrome in cattle. Methods: The study was conducted in clinical cases, presented to Large Animal Medicine Outpatient Unit of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital over a period of 24 months. Dairy cows, with the history of recent calving, postpartum inappetance and brought for other routine check-ups were included for the study. Suspected cases were subjected to further examination. Concurrent diseases presented with Fatty liver syndrome were recorded. Animals were grouped into four categories based on the above investigations as group I, II, III and IV as control, mild fatty liver, moderate fatty liver and severe fatty liver respectively. Result: B-Mode Ultrasonography was superior in grading the fatty liver, compared to spectral doppler. Spectral Doppler derived indices of portal blood flow in fatty liver syndrome revealed significant reduction in venous pulsatility index in severe cases. But grading the fatty liver was not possible with spectral doppler. Among clinical manifestations, Postparturient inappetance (98.3 per cent), reduced milk yield and weight loss were the prominent in fatty liver syndrome. Major concurrent diseases in fatty liver syndrome were ketosis, haemoprotozoan diseases, repeat breeder and mastitis. The present study will be helpful in field level diagnosis of fatty liver in cattle and supplements the knowledge on concurrent diseases that could influence the prognosis of individual animal. The study also opens gateway to do further research in considering alternates to the liver biopsy and histopathological studies.

Published: June 2024

La manufactura aditiva ha revolucionado la producción al permitir la creación de objetos a partir de modelos digitales, sin requerir moldes. En el ámbito médico, la personalización adquiere una relevancia crucial, siendo la impresión 3D un vehículo efectivo para la creación de órtesis. La importancia de la personalización radica en la limitación de dispositivos genéricos, los cuales pueden resultar inadecuados para ciertos pacientes y carecer de atractivo estético. Los hallazgos del estudio revelan que la impresión y escaneo 3D desempeñan un papel fundamental en la optimización de los procesos de producción de ortesis, generando estructuras altamente personalizadas y ergonómicas. Los profesionales médicos consultados para validar los prototipos consideran su viabilidad. No obstante, se plantea la necesidad de mejorar la seguridad y funcionalidad de los dispositivos, especialmente al considerar posibles cambios de volumen de las lesiones durante el tratamiento. Un análisis de costos detallado revela que la mano de obra constituye la mayor parte del costo de fabricación, representando un 73,87%. Le sigue el filamento utilizado con un 23,14%, el velcro con un 1,4% y, finalmente, la electricidad consumida con un 1,59%.
The effects of sodium bicarbonate ingestion and sports performance in female athletes during different phases of the menstrual cycle
Authors: Insam Hannah , Chidley Joel
Published: July 2024

Sodium Bicarbonate (SB) is recognised as an effective ergogenic aid for enhancing high-intensity exercise capacity and performance. However, the lack of consistency in scientific research findings involving female participants and SB, attributed to the variations in hormonal profiles during the menstrual cycle (MC), has led to a disproportionate focus on studies exclusively conducted in a male population. Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to assess the effects of SB ingestion and sports performance in female athletes during different phases of the MC. There is currently no evidence showing whether different phases of the MC would enhance exercise performance following SB ingestion. Given this gap in the literature, it yet remains unclear that if different hormonal fluctuations throughout the MC affected absorption, nutrient capacity, or exercise performance, the stimulating effect of buffering agents could be further enhanced in future research, by identifying optimal administration strategies of SB, as well as investigating if different phases of the MC impacted exercise performance, however this is still unknown. Methods: In a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial, six eumenorrheic female athletes will complete four all-out 30-second sprints on the Wattbike, each separated by a 5-minute recovery period after receiving either 0.3g/kg body mass (BM) of SB or a placebo containing plain flour in enteric coated capsules. Performance variables collected across the duration of the experimental trials are, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), peak power output (PPO), relative peak power (RPP), heart rate (HR), anaerobic capacity (AC), and fatigue index (FI). Experimental trials will be performed in each of the following two phases of a participant’s individually characterised MC: (i) the follicular phase and (ii) the luteal phase. MC phase will be determined by using a set of home ovulation strips for the whole duration of the study. In order to control any dietary variables, participants are asked to record a 24-hour food diary for the days prior to exercise testing and are encouraged to replicate identical food and fluid intake on the day prior to experimental testing to ensure a similar metabolic state. The development of this study in this area of research could greatly enhance our understanding of how the MC and the ingestion of SB may impact female athletes and performance outcomes. Furthermore, this study would provide valuable insights into the potential impact of different MC phases on athletes and help optimise their training and performance strategies.
An investigation on sex-based disparities in male and female collegiate athlete reactive strength index
Authors: Fletcher Elliot
Published: July 2024

Reactive strength is the ability to effectively use a fast stretch shortening cycle (SSC) with the eccentric into a concentric contraction (Rebelo et al., 2022, Healthcare, 10, 593). A fast SSC is determined to be <200 ms due to a preliminary study by (Schmidtbleicher & Komi, 1992, Encyclopedia Sports Med. Vol. 3 Strength and Power in Sport) reviewing muscular contractions. Reactive strength is determined through two different metrics used within the literature which are ground contact time (GCT) and jump height (JH) allowing for understanding on how an athlete can utilise the myotatic reflex to react with the floor. Reactive Strength Index (RSI) is typically measured via drop jump (DJ) and 10/5 reactive pogo jumps. A novel way to measure RSI is via a rebound countermovement jump (RCMJ) which utilises RSI-Modified and includes time to take off instead of ground contact time. RSI is an important metric to measure because it has implications within sport-specific metrics like sprinting and jumping (Jarvis et al., 2022, Sports Med, 52, 301-330). However, some of the limitations of RSI are it is a ratio metric, and therefore RSI can mask underpinning metrics. As a result, additional metrics such as such a force, velocity and power can help better understand athlete development and the underpinning key performance indicators. However, many metrics within reactive jumps remain unsearched. Data will be collected from around 16 university athletes aged 18-25 currently competing in sport with at least one year’s experience in resistance training. Data will be collected using Hawkins dynamic force plates, sampling at 1000 Hz, and has recently been reported to be valid and reliable (Badby et al., 2023, Sports, 23, 4820) Participants will be asked to complete 3 DJ, RCMJ and 10/5 jump trials on two separate occasions separated by a minimum of 48 hours. Athletes will be instructed to perform a quiet standing period for 1 second before and after each jump to calculate body weight by the 5 × standard deviation method. Therefore, the study aims to compare the disparities between all three jumps aswell, sexes and the potential implications on performance. Previous studies displayed significant disparities between male and female participants. Therefore, the null hypothesis for this study is to display a non-significant difference across sexes aswell as between jumps. A limitation to this study is controlling the standardisation of variables such as squat depth during all tests.
Physiological, perceptual and neuromuscular responses to 15 vs. 30 s work durations during short high intensity interval training
Authors: Price Shane
Published: July 2024

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is an extremely potent stimulus for physiological adaptation offering a low volume training approach that can be easily accommodated into an individual’s training schedule. A key feature that drives physiological adaptation is the time the individual spends at or around their individual V̇O2max during HIIT. This can be influenced by several variables, including the work bout duration (Buchheit & Laursen, 2013, Sports Med, 43, 318-338). The use of short duration HIIT intervals (i.e., < 60 s) are popular due to their ability to facilitate a high oxygen uptake while minimising fatigue (Buchheit & Laursen, 2013, Sports Med, 43, 318-338). However, the physiological response to different short duration HIIT formats has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to measure the physiological, perceptual and neuromuscular responses to two traditional short duration (i.e., 15 and 30 s) HIIT formats in trained athletes. With ethics approval, 10 well-trained male and female team sport players (mean + SD; age: 22 ± 1 years; body mass: 78 ± 6 kg; stature: 176 ± 4 cm) were recruited to the study and visited the laboratory on three separate occasions. After an incremental test to exhaustion on a cycle ergometer to establish V̇O2max (52.3 ± 5.7 ml·kg-1·min-1) and peak power output at V̇O2max (pV̇O2max; 313 ± 21 W), two HIIT sessions (15 s effort: 15 s passive recovery and 30 s effort: 30 s passive recovery) were completed in a randomised order. HIIT interventions comprised 15 s or 30 s at 120% pV̇O2max followed by 15 or 30 s passive recovery, repeated for 2 × 6 min with 5 min active recovery at 40% pV̇O2max. V̇O2, time >90% V̇O2max, heart rate, and RPE were measured during the HIIT session and blood lactate concentration recorded 5 minutes afterwards. Measures of knee extensor maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) were measured immediately before and after each HIIT session.

Authors: Wang Yi , Lui Peng
Published: June 2024

The Chinese community in Canada is one of the largest diasporas. According to the 2021 Census, the number of Chinese immigrants and their descendants in Canada has reached 1.71 million, of which more than 1.29 million speak Chinese as their first language. The vast Chinese language ecosystem created by descendants has a significant impact on the language environment and politics of Canada. In order to shape the Chinese language environment, in addition to the education of the Chinese language in the state education system and Confucius Institutes, non-governmental organizations such as Chinese schools, Chinese societies, the Chinese press, community centers and families play an important role. Together they create a coherent model for the shared delivery of the Chinese language ecosystem in Canada, based on government supply, public participation, market mechanisms and family education.

Authors: Yulianto Pratama , Saryono Saryono , Kamaluddin Ridlwan
Published: June 2024

A bag valve mask (BVM) is a tool that provides basic life support measures for ventilation assistance. The effectiveness of providing ventilation assistance can be influenced by the accuracy of the timing of ventilation to minimize the risk of hyperventilation. This study aims to analyze current research themes and trends in the global use and adaptation of BVMs. The research design used descriptive analysis with a bibliometric analysis approach through the Publish or Perish and VosViewer applications. The article search period used was 2000-2023 from the Scopus and PubMed databases and continued with a trend analysis of the topics studied. The results of article searches that have been carried out on the Publish or Perish application obtained 193 articles that discuss BVM since 2000-2023 based on the Scopus and Pubmed databases. There are 3 clusters of research topics, namely, the comparison of the use of BVM with other tools in the ventilation or oxygenation process, the use of BVM in the intubation or induction process, and research related to the effectiveness of BVM tools modified with different techniques or shapes. According to the results of the bibliometric analysis, 193 articles are related to the topic of BVM. Currently, research on BVMs consists of comparison, effectiveness of use, and process actions that involve BVMs. However, research has yet to be conducted on BVM modification. This is a great opportunity for researchers to conduct innovative research to develop BVM with various facilities that can support it.

Published: June 2024

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI)  is still a major health problem among children under 5 years old. One of the clinical manifestations besides cough, sore throat, and fever is sleep difficulty. Sleep is essential for children to support growth and development. The supportive management for babies with ARI is the baby massage. However, most parents view that sleep disorder is not a big problem. This study aimed to see the effect of baby massage on sleep quality for infants under 12 months diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI). This research is a quantitative perspective using a quasi-experimental study. Respondents were divided into control and intervention groups, with 60 respondents, 30 control groups and 30 intervention groups. Data was collected before and after the baby massage intervention. Instruments were used: The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ-R) tool with a total of questions is 19 distributed in 3 subscales consisting of Infant Sleep, Parent Perception, and Parent Behaviour with the r-test retest (r >.82) indicating high correlations. Data were analyzed using bivariate calculations. Based on the results, the baby's mean age is 7.77±3.29 and is mostly boys. The independent T-test shows a significant effect in the intervention group before and after a baby massage from 60.50+-8.29 to 77.75 ± 9.98. with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). Massaging children in the intervention group twice a day, morning and evening, improves sleep quality among babies with ARI; therefore, a structured operational procedure should be implemented in the children's ward, and pediatric nurses must also be skilled with baby massage.

Purpose: According to the life rhythm derived from the ancient Chinese medicine book Huangdi Neijing, female growth and development culminates between the age of 22-28, with strong muscles, bones and vigorous hair. To investigate the characteristics of facial lipid profile in oily skin of female at different developmental stages classified based on seven-year rhythm, and to provide the mechanistic insight into the aging theory of Huangdi Neijing.Methods: The facial lipid composition of two groups of healthy women with oily skin (O1 group: age of 22-28; O2 group: age of 29-35) was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS). Differential lipids between O1 and O2 groups were identified using an orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model.Results: No significant difference in skin barrier function was found between the O1 and O2 groups. In contrast, skin elasticity and skin radiance displayed significant changes, with the O2 group showing decreased skin elasticity and dull skin, which is consistent with the description in Huangdi Neijing. In terms of lipid profile, among eight lipid main classes, seven lipid classes [FA], [GL], [GP], [PK], [PR], [SP] and [ST] showed significantly higher relative levels in the O2 group (p<0.05). Among the differential lipid species, myriocin, erucamide, phosphatidylserine, flavonoid compounds, and sphinganine were significantly and negatively correlated with skin elasticity (R2) and skin radiance (ITA) (p<0.05).Conclusion: The seven lipid species identified are important for targeting markers of skin aging and developing cosmetics that maintain skin elasticity and color.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to establish an in vitro model to examine paraphenylenediamine (PPD)-induced cytotoxicity and inflammation within RAW 264.7 cells. Additionally, we investigated the cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of Derma Genie™-H002 derived from extracts of five medicinal herbs. Methods: Various biochemical analyses, including water-soluble tetrazolium salt, crystal violet staining, and lactate dehydrogenase leakage assays, were employed to evaluate the impact of Derma Genie™-H002 on PPD-induced cytotoxicity and inflammation. Furthermore, apoptosis- and inflammation-related gene expression was analyzed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Results: Derma Genie™-H002 exhibited no significant cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 cells, whereas PPD induced notable cytotoxicity at concentrations >25 μM. Cotreatment with PPD and Derma Genie™-H002 not only improved cell proliferation rates but also alleviated cell viability in PPD-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, findings demonstrated that Derma Genie™-H002 mitigates the cytotoxicity of PPD-induced RAW 264.7 cells by reducing the expression of the proapoptotic protein Bax and increasing the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Moreover, cotreatment with PPD and Derma Genie™-H002 downregulated the mRNA expression of inflammasome-related genes, inflammatory cytokines, and allergic contact dermatitis-related genes, all elevated by PPD. The increased expression of nuclear factor-κB protein induced by PPD was also reduced upon cotreatment with Derma Genie™-H002, providing compelling evidence of its anti-inflammatory efficacy in the PPD-induced inflammation model. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Derma Genie™-H002 effectively alleviates PPD-induced cytotoxicity and inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells. Therefore, the potential application of Derma Genie™-H002 as a naturally derived functional anti-inflammatory material has been validated.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether facial images can be perceived differently by changing skin tone and hair color among female college students in their 20s, and to provide objective data for selecting hair color suitable for skin tone.Methods: Surveys were conducted for female college students in their 20s to evaluate images regarding general characteristics and stimuli that altered skin tone and hair color. SPSS 25.0 statistical program was used to analyze the collected data, and frequency analysis and cross-tabulation analysis were performed.Results: Following the analysis of the change of facial images according to hair color by skin tone, it was found that the lighter the skin tone, various facial images were formed according to the brightness of the skin tone. However, the darker the skin tone, the more it is focused on the skin tone itself rather than the change in hair color. Regarding the change in facial images based on skin tone based on hair color, it was observed that dark matogany hair color formed various facial images depending on the skin tone, while other hair colors formed similar patterns of images regardless of skin tone.Conclusion: The study analyzed the perception of facial image changes according to skin tone and hair color to provide objective data for selecting the right hair color for skin tone.

Authors: Chon Haejung
Published: June 2024

Purpose: We investigated the beauty therapies preferred by female college students based on their subjectively perceived skin condition and type, as well as how female college students evaluate their skin condition and type to provide optimal beauty for different skin types.Methods: Beauty students who could correctly identify beauty therapy and their own skin condition and type were chosen from those who had taken beauty therapy-related classes for more than 4 semesters, and 158 copies were used as final statistical analysis data.Results: According to the individual’s subjective skin condition and type, most female college students believe that they had combination skin with a significant difference in the oil levels between the T-zone and both cheeks, and they felt sensitive due to the lack of oil and moisture in the cheek area. In terms of subjective skin condition type and beauty therapy preference differences, massage therapy was strongly recommended for those with combination skin, Pango therapy for those with oily skin, and chocolate therapy for those who considered themselves to have dry skin. In terms of subjective skin condition type and beauty therapy satisfaction differences, those with oily skin reported being satisfied with the feeling that their face was clean, their skin was moisturized, and their skin felt tight, whereas those with oily and sensitive skin were extremely satisfied with the scent during beauty treatment.Conclusion: As a beauty therapy program reflecting these characteristics, it is deemed appropriate to improve the lactation balance by combining aromatherapy, chocolate therapy, and massage therapy.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the association of dietary habits and general characteristics of adult Korean men with scalp conditions.Methods: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25.0 was used for data analysis, with a p-value of 0.05 indicating significance. Frequency analysis was conducted to investigate participants’ general characteristics. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to validate the measurement tool and Cronbach’s α coefficient verified reliability. Cross-tabulation was used to explore dietary habits and differences by general characteristics. Independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance were utilized to investigate scalp condition following general characteristics and dietary habits, with the Scheffe test used for post-hoc analysis.Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in dietary habits (p<0.05), with the low-intake group demonstrating relatively higher scalp conditions than the high-intake group (M=2.27 vs. M=2.10). Analysis by general characteristics revealed significant differences in age, marital status, occupation, stress, sleep, exercise, shampoo type, and frequency (p<0.05).Conclusion: Individuals with healthier dietary habits exhibited better scalp conditions. Poorer scalp conditions were associated with older age, higher stress levels, shorter sleep duration, and poor exercise habits. Balanced dietary habits, effective stress management, improved sleep quality, and regular exercise are required for maintaining a healthy scalp. Further investigation on systematic management is warranted.

Desa di dataran tinggi, digambarkan oleh Hüsken (1998), sebagai wilayah yang kompetitif, dimana anggota masyarakatnya -petani- saling bersaing satu sama lain. Para petani saling berkompetisi untuk menjadi yang terkuat meski harus mengorbankan yang lain. Situasi ini menempatkan petani menjadi makluk yang sangat rasional, jauh dari anggapan umum roamantisme kehidupan desa yang penuh solidaritas dan saling tolong menolong. Tulisan ini berusaha untuk melihat transformasi ekonomi pedesaan yang belakangan ternyata, tidak hanya berkiblat pada industri pertanian, tapi juga pariwisata. Kami berangkat dari permasalahan, apakah transformasi mata pencaharian di pedesaan, dengan perluasan sektor usaha di desa, mampu mendorong keterlibatan lebih banyak petani, dan sekaligus mengurangi semangat kompetisi yang ada? Sekilas temuan lapangan memperlihatkan bahwa perluasan sektor usaha di desa tidak serta merta memberikan kesempatan bagi petani yang sudah tereksklusi untuk dapat ambil bagian dalam bisnis baru -pariwisata- ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode observasi partisipasi dan wawancara di sebuah desa dataran tinggi, Desa Rejo, yang sedang mengalami transformasi dari sektor pertanian ke sektor pariwisata.
Kata kunci: petani dataran tinggi, transformasi mata pencaharian, diversifikasi ekonomi.

Authors: Aslan Yunus , Duran Remzi
Published: June 2024

Konya İnce Minareli Medrese Taş ve Ahşap Eserler Müzesinde yer alan iki melek figürü
birbirlerine doğru veya ortadaki bir nesneye koşar yahut uçar durumda tasvir edilmiştir.
Bu melek tasvirleri, daha önce Prof. Dr. Selçuk Mülayim tarafından incelenmiş ve
“İkiz Melekler” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Yapılan çalışmayla, “İkiz melekler nereye koşuyor
veya nereye uçuyor?” sorusunun yanıtı aranmaktadır. Çalışma çerçevesinde, Taş ve Ahşap
Eserler Müzesinde yer alan diğer bir taş kabaranın, bahsedilen melek figürlü taş eserlerle
bağlantısı tespit edilmiştir. Fiziksel uygunluk, ölçüler ve anlamsal bütünleşme bu taş eserlerin
özgününde beraber kullanıldığını düşündürmektedir. Dolayısıyla bahsedilen sahne,
yöntem olarak, başka kültürler de dâhil olmak üzere, çeşitli malzeme ve stildeki benzer
sahneler ve figürlerle karşılaştırılarak, kurgusal açıdan incelenmiştir. Bu makalenin amacı,
Konya İnce Minareli Medrese Taş ve Ahşap Eserler Müzesine Konya Kalesi’nden getirildiği
bilinen, 883-884 numaralı ve 935 numaralı envanterlere kayıtlı olan mimari taş eserlerin,
özgününde beraber kurgulandığını ortaya koymaktadır.
Bu araştırma, mevcut taş eserlerden yola çıkılarak, yukarıda bahsedilen melek figürlü sahne
ve bu sahnenin sembolik anlam içeriği üzerinedir.
SINIRLAR ÜZERİNDEN BEDEN MEKÂN HAREKET ARAŞTIRMASINDA DENEYİM MEKÂNI TASARIMI: YAŞAYAN KÜP
Authors: Erkoyuncu Gökçen , Ulusavaş Mert
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışmada beden, mekân ve hareket üçlüsünün sınırlarını kaybettiği ve birbiri içinde
kaybolduğu fenomenolojik, Deleuzecü ve post-yapısalcı felsefi yaklaşımlar üzerinden sınır
ve sınırsızlık tartışmaları yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda inceleme ve analiz için bir deneyim
mekânı tasarlanması ön görülmüştür. Çalışma kapsamında tasarlanan “Yaşayan Küp”
isimli deneyim mekânıyla bu üç kavram arasında kurulan ilişki ve ilişki potansiyelleri incelenmiştir.
Bu tasarım ile mekânsal ve bedensel sınırların sorgulandığı bir tartışma alanı
kurmak amaçlanmaktadır. Hareketin incelenmesi için özelleşen hareket grubu olarak yoga
seçilmiştir. Yoga, deneyim mekânındaki hareketlerin incelenmesinde kendi içindeki sınır
ve sınırsızlık çatışmaları dolayısıyla temel alınan noktalardan biri olmuştur. Bu deneyim
mekânında, iplerle birbirine ve mekâna bağlanan hareketleri sınırlandırılmış bedenler, yoganın
sınırlı (belirli) hareketlerini gerçekleştirmeye çalışır. Aynı zamanda ipler aracılığıyla
diğer bedenlerle kurulan diyaloglar sayesinde bu sınır ve sınırsızlık arasında bulunan melez
durumda başlangıcı ve sonu olmayan, sınırsız varyasyonda hareketler dizisi deneyimlenebileceği
düşünülmüştür. Bu deneyimler beden, mekân ve hareket kavramları ve bunların
sınırları çerçevesinde metinde irdelenmiştir.
EMPRESYONİZM SANAT AKIMININ HALİL PAŞA RESİMLERİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ
Authors: Kaplan Mehmet Akif
Published: June 2024

Empresyonizm 19.yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Fransa’da ortaya çıkmış bir sanat akımıdır.
Empresyonizm akımının oluşumunda sanatçıların doğa karşısında ışık ve renk kavrayışına
bağlı kişisel üslup arayışları ile bilimsel alandaki gelişmeler etkili olmuştur. Empresyonistler
doğanın anlık görüntüsünü hava perspektifi içerisinde ışık, renk olarak yansıtmayı
amaç edinmişlerdir. Empresyonizm ortaya çıktığı yıllarda tüm Avrupa sanatını ve
sonraki yıllarda Osmanlı sanatını da etkiler. İlk asker ressamlardan olan Halil Paşa’nın
resimlerinde etkilenim gözlemlenebilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı ve kavramsal çerçevesi
de bu yönde şekillendirilmiştir. Halil Paşa Osmanlı’nın Batı’yla kurduğu diplomatik ilişkileri
sonucu Avrupa’ya eğitim için gönderilir. Halil Paşa Avrupa’da Jean-Leon Gerome ve
Gustave Courtois’in atölyesinde Fransız klasisizmi kapsamında resim eğitimi almıştır. Halil
Paşa Paris’te eğitim aldığı yıllarda empresyonizmden etkilenmiş ve eserlerinde bunu belli
oranda yansıtmıştır. Bu bakımdan sanatçı Türk izlenimciliğinin önemli öncülerinden biri
olarak kabul görmüştür. Son dönem çalışmalarında daha çok empresyonist etkilere ağırlık
veren Halil Paşa bu yönüyle modern Türk resminin çağdaşlaşmasına büyük katkı sağlar.
Sanatçının empresyonizme duyduğu derin ilgi 1914 Kuşağı gibi kendinden sonraki modern
Türk resmine yön veren sanatçıları da etkilemiştir. Bu araştırmada Fransa’da ortaya çıkan
empresyonizmin Halil Paşa’nın resimleri üzerindeki etkileri ele alınmıştır. Sanatçı ve etkilendiği
akımla ilgili olarak betimsel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Empresyonist sanat
akımının Halil Paşa’nın eserleri üzerindeki etkilerinin anlaşılması için sanatçı hakkında
yazılı ve basılı yayın organları, internet kaynakları, akademik çalışmalar, kataloglar tespit
edilmiş ve incelenmiştir. Empresyonizmle ilgili elde edilen bulgulardan faydalanarak Halil
Paşa’nın resimleri üzerindeki etkiler belirlenmiştir.
TÜRKİYE’DE GRAFİK TASARIMCILARIN MESLEK ETİĞİ KAVRAMINA YAKLAŞIMLARI VE MESLEK ETİĞİ DERSİNİN TASARIM EĞİTİMİNDEKİ DURUMU
Authors: Akman Mustafa , Taşçıoğlu Melike , Aşan Greenacre Zerrin
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışma ile ahlak, etik, meslek etiğinin önemi, tasarımda etik dışı davranışlar, grafik
tasarım ve meslek etiği ilişkisi gibi maddeler kısaca açıklanmış ve bu bilgiler doğrultusunda
tez çalışmasında elde edilen bazı veri ve bulgular tartışılarak yorumlanmıştır. Etiğin
grafik tasarım mesleği içindeki bilinirliği, etik ilkelerin varlığı ve uygulanıp uygulanmaması
durumunda nedenleri, ayrıca meslek etiği derslerinin müfredatta yer alıp almadığı
gibi konular üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu amaç doğrultusunda grafik tasarımcılar, sektörde
çalışan tasarım öğrencileri ve tasarımcı akademisyenlerin katıldığı “Türkiye’de Grafik
Tasarım Bağlamında Meslek Etiğine İlişkin Anket” verileri paylaşılıp tasarımcıların konu
ile ilgili görüşlerine yer verilerek belli başlı bazı sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir. Görüşlerine
yer verilen uzmanlar özellikle tasarım ve etik konularına eğilmiş tasarımcılar arasından
seçilmiştir. Bunun yanında 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yıllarında meslek etiği derslerinin
müfredatta yer alması bilgisi paylaşılarak çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur. Bu çalışma ile nitel
ve nicel yöntemler bir arada kullanılarak tasarım alanında meslek etiği üzerine geniş bir
araştırma yelpazesinden toplanan veriler ile betimleyici tanımlayıcı bir çalışma yürütülerek
var olan durum tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye’de grafik tasarım alanında meslek etiğinin
zayıf olduğu, etik konusundaki farkındalığın tasarımcılar tarafından bilinse dahi bireysel
ve birey dışı faktörler sebebiyle hayata geç(e)mediği hatta zaman zaman etik dışı davranışların
ödüllendirildiği görülmüştür. Bunun yanında etik konusunun sadece tasarımcılarla
çözülemeyeceği, tasarım disiplininin de içinde yer aldığı sistemin iyileştirilmesi gerektiği
sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır.
MEKÂNDA ANLAM ARAMAK: GÖSTERGEBİLİMSEL İÇ MEKÂN ANALİZİ ODUNPAZARI MODERN MÜZESİ (OMM) ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Uçar Baycan Deniz , Kaptan B. Burak
Published: June 2024

Mekânlar, insan yaşamına içerik üreten ve anlam yükleyen iletişim arayüzleridir. İletişim
denildiğinde konu dile ilişkin hale gelir. Mekânın dilini oluşturan soyut ve somut bileşenler
birlikteliğiyle mekânın anlamı algılanmaya başlanır. Örtük anlamı ortaya çıkarmakla ilgilenen
bir bilim dalı olarak göstergebilim bu noktada mekânsal analiz yöntemi olarak kullanıldığında
mekânın anlamsal çözümlemesine ulaşılabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, mekân
ve anlam ilişkisinin çeşitli boyutlardaki varlığına dikkat çekmek ve mekânın anlam bilimsel
açıdan analiz edilebilirliğine ilişkin bir örnek paylaşarak literatüre katkı sağlamaktır.
Çalışma kapsamında örnek mekân olarak incelenen Odunpazarı Modern Müzesine ait iç
mekanlar bir iletişim dili olarak kabul edilmiş ve göstergebilimsel analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir.
Bu kapsamda sentaktik yaklaşım, semantik yaklaşım ve pragmatik yaklaşımdan
yararlanılmıştır. Yapının mimari tasarımcısı Kengo Kuma and Associates’in çizimleri ve
saha çalışması ile elde edilen iç mekân fotoğrafları veri olarak kullanılmıştır. Bağlamsal
ilişkileriyle bir anlam taşıyan mekâna, örtük anlamların tasarım yoluyla kodlanabileceği
çalışmanın en temel sonucu olarak ifade edilebilmektedir.

Gelişim süreci içerisinde çocuklarını her türlü olumsuzluktan korumak ve onların gelişimlerini destekleme sorumluluğuna sahip ebeveynlere de bu kapsamda yeni bir sorumluluk alanı oluşturmuştur. Dijital araçların doğru kullanımı ve çocukları bu araçların zararlı etkilerinden koruma anlayışı anne-babalara yeni bir sorumluluk alanı oluşturarak dijital ebeveynlik kavramının ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur.
Clinical outcomes with intravascular ultrasound guidance of percutaneous coronary interventions: a targeted literature review of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Flattery Erin , Razzouk Louai , Rao Sunil V.
Published: June 2024

The use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to guide and optimize percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been subject to robust clinical investigation for the last three decades. In this narrative review, we summarize the major clinical outcomes of the randomized controlled trials evaluating the potential benefit of IVUS-guided PCI, compared with either angiography alone or other coronary imaging and physiology technologies. These studies, spanning decades and continents, provide the most rigorous evidence base that clinicians can use to guide real-world decision making regarding the utility of IVUS guidance during PCI in contemporary clinical practice.
Synchronization for stochastic switched networks via delay feedback control
Authors: Li Zebin , Cheng Fuying , Tang Juan , Dong Hailing , Tang Jianliang
Published: June 2024

In this paper, asymptotical synchronization in mean square, $$H_\infty$$ -synchronization, and almost sure exponential synchronization are developed for a class of stochastic switched networks with Markov switching and Brown noise using a delay feedback controller that depends on the past state. By utilizing some inequality techniques, It$$\hat o$$ formula and Borel-Cantelli Lemma, we show that the stochastic switched network model can achieve asymptotical synchronization in mean square, $$H_\infty$$ -synchronization, and almost sure exponential synchronization when the delay of the control is smaller than a given upper bound. Finally, the effectiveness of the theory is verified by a numerical simulation.
