El huso en el centro del universo: el entrelazamiento cuántico en la poesía visual de Cecilia Vicuña
Authors: Coleman Vera
Published: November 2022

La producción cultural de Cecilia Vicuña presenta la materialidad como un proceso dinámico cuyo ímpetu energético surge de las relaciones que constituyen todos los fenómenos del universo. A partir del conocimiento proveniente de las ciencias naturales, las epistemologías indígenas y las tradiciones poéticas, en los poemas visuales de Instan (2002) e i tu (2004) Vicuña explora la materialidad desde el mundo microscópico de las partículas subatómicas hasta el nivel macroscópico del cuerpo y las galaxias. En una poesía visualmente sofisticada, la poeta chilena reconceptualiza la relación entre materia y significado y el impacto de la materialidad en la experiencia humana. Este ensayo incorpora perspectivas teóricas provenientes del movimiento interdisciplinario que Stacy Alaimo y Susan Hekman nombran el “giro material” en el feminismo del siglo XXI, el cual critica el imperativo cartesiano de relegar la materialidad a los márgenes de la cultura y, al contrario, considera la materia como una fuerza activa que participa en la configuración material-discursiva del universo. La poesía visual de Vicuña, tanto en su forma como en su temática, revela una ontología relacional que reconoce las relaciones internas como el origen de toda la energía generativa que permea el universo en su constante transformación.
Proceso de re-escritura en La muerte me da. Una con-ficción fragmentaria
Authors: Botello Ester Bautista
Published: November 2022

Este artículo trabaja con dos textos de Cristina Rivera Garza. Por un lado, Los muertos indóciles funciona como referente teórico ya que la escritora desarrolla algunos conceptos en torno al proceso de escritura. Uno de estos conceptos es la escritura documental que transforma el documento —archivo u otro texto—, su estructura y su contenido para recontextualizarlo en el presente. Por otro lado, en la novela La muerte me da se entrecruzan diversos géneros como el ensayo, la nota periodística, el género epistolar, el poemario, el performance o las artes visuales. En este trabajo reviso el planteamiento teórico para, posteriormente, explorar cómo se establecen diálogos entre la escritura documental de Rivera Garza y la apropiación del trabajo de Marina Abramović, Gina Pane y Lynn Hershman —artistas visuales contemporáneas—. El cuerpo de la escritura se transforma con la manera en la que Rivera Garza con-ficciona —usa, manipula, re-escribe— los materiales del performance, el Body art, la fotografía, la instalación o el vídeo.
Victoria Ocampo y Rabindranath Tagore ante la crítica bengalí
Authors: André Maria Claudia
Published: November 2022

Partiendo de la lectura de las publicaciones de escritores e investigadores de la India, en su mayoría oriundos de la región de Bengala, el presente ensayo examina la dinámica afectiva entre Rabindranath Tagore, el célebre poeta bengalí, ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1913, y la afamada escritora argentina Victoria Ocampo. Además de analizar las infuencias temáticas, intelectutales e ideológicas que ejercieron el uno sobre el otro, tanto en el ámbito personal como en lo profesional, el ensayo explora el impacto de reconocidas figuras del ámbito político de la India en el pensamiento de Ocampo, entre ellos, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawarhalal Nehru y su hija, Indira Gandhi. La intención que motiva la exploración de dichos temas, por un lado, es la de poder apreciar el enfoque que la academia india da a esta singular amistad y evaluar su percepción en cuanto al genio figura de Victoria Ocampo; y por otro, determinar aquellos aspectos de dicha amistad que resultaron extraordinariamente enriquecedores y fructíferos en lo que hace a la producción literaria y artística de ambos. El legado de esta relación es un fiel reflejo del espíritu humano y de la energía creativa de dos seres que, a pesar de las diferencias culturales, se inspiraron mutuamente para hacer del arte y de la literatura un instrumento civilizador y un puente intercultural.
La mantilla entre tradición y modernidad: moda, género y cultura material en la España de los siglos XVIII y XIX
Authors: Martín Inés Corujo
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo explora desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria la intersección entre moda, cultura material y género a través de la ubicua presencia de la mantilla en la prensa y en la literatura española del siglo XIX, si bien con una introducción pictórica a la mantilla en la pintura del siglo XVIII. Tomando como punto de partida varios estudios teórico-críticos referentes a la cultura material y a la relevancia sociopolítica de la moda –particularmente la moda femenina– la autora explora hasta qué punto la mantilla, este artículo de ropa tan asociado con la imagen de una España tradicionalista, se convierte en el siglo XIX en un emblema discursivo y un símbolo controversial en una España dividida entre las convenciones del pasado y la modernidad. A través del estudio de la importancia sociocultural, estética y política de esta prenda, el artículo demuestra claramente hasta qué punto una prenda de vestir femenina puede convertirse en un objeto de lectura antropológica al revelar los valores y contradicciones de una sociedad, una nación y una época.
“El parto es tuyo”: testimonio, maternidad y política en dos documentales sobre violencia obstétrica
Authors: Miseres Vanesa
Published: November 2022

Atendiendo a los cruces entre violencia y género propuestos para el número especial de Letras femeninas, este artículo se centra en una forma particular de violencia contra la mujer que en la última década ha cobrado mayor visibilidad en los debates feministas, institucionales, culturales y jurídicos: la violencia obstétrica. Partiendo del repaso y análisis de algunas de las más recientes representaciones sociales y estéticas, este trabajo examina dos documentales latinoamericanos que exhiben la violencia obstétrica, Violěncia obstétrica: A voz das brasileiras (Brasil, 2012) y Las formas de nacer (Argentina, 2015). Ambos documentales trabajan visual y discursivamente con el género del testimonio para transformar las vivencias individuales en modos alternativos de construcción de la maternidad como experiencia personal y como discurso social y colectivo. Los documentales revisan y cuestionan el mandato bíblico de “parir con dolor” (idea central en la concepción tradicional y occidental de la maternidad) para proponer al parto, en el marco de una maternidad elegida, como acto revolucionario y como espacio de empoderamiento. Parir se vuelve una forma de activismo político que crea y recupera, por ejemplo, una red femenina de saberes a contrapelo de los discursos médicos, legales y regulaciones institucionales.
Parametric Modeling And Visualization In Decoding Of Collective Values: From Absolute To Relative Values
Authors: Moura Ana Clara Mourão
Published: November 2022

The work herein provides a general discussion on the issues involved in urban and landscape planning, with an emphasis on the visualization. The paper reviews some of the challenges involved in the planning using visualization tools and Geographic Information Systems. The purpose is to present a motivation to think about choices users make while applying methods of geoprocessing analysis for, somehow, most of users just apply tools but do not question their meaning. A proper conceptual base is a way to avoid following new tools without really contributing to new methodologies and not using the real potential of Geographic Information Systems. We have been living a new paradigm on urban planning, changing from authorial design to the decoding of collective values, using parametric modeling to understand, define and control values and expectations in urban land use. The responsibility of making urban proposals clear has as purpose not only making citizens understand plans, but also to instruct them on an urban common landscape, which is the role of the visualization. It discusses concepts on visualization and presents a methodological proposal to transform representation from absolute into relative in order to support the decision-making in urban landscapes. The paper herein presents techniques to construct a diagnosis of potentials and limitations, to propose maximum constructive envelopes for plots’ occupation, and to promote the visualization in order to share the decision with the community, mostly on the Parametric Modeling of Urban and Natural Landscape approach.

Published: November 2022

Nesse artigo é aplicado o controle de qualidade em uma rede GNSS através da teoria de confiabilidade convencional, analisando a melhora da confiabilidade da rede a partir da inclusão de linhas-base repetidas. Após o ajustamento por mínimos quadrados da rede original são calculadas as medidas de confiabilidade para a rede: o número de redundância local, número de absorção, a confiabilidade interna, externa e razão tendência-ruído. A escolha da linha-base a ser repetida na rede é realizada a partir da análise de qual observação possui menor valor de número de redundância local. Identificado essa observação verifica-se a qual linha-base pertence e essa linha-base é repetida na rede com novas observações GNSS. O ajustamento é realizado novamente, bem como o cálculo das medidas de confiabilidade. Esse procedimento é repetido cinco vezes, quando se verifica a estabilização dos resultados. A rede GNSS é constituída de estações da RBMC, com dois pontos de controle e onze linhas-base. Analisando os valores máximos de confiabilidade interna, a diminuição ocorrida entre o primeiro e o último cenário foi de 6 milímetros. Com relação aos resultados para os valores máximos de confiabilidade externa, a diminuição ocorrida entre o primeiro e o último cenário foi de 2,3 centímetros. Com relação aos menores valores de número de redundância encontrados verificou-se a diferença de 0,243 entre o primeiro e o ultimo cenário.
TENDÊNCIAS MODERNAS E QUESTÕES RELACIONADAS COM A DEFINIÇÃO E REALIZAÇÃO DE SISTEMAS VERTICAIS: A EXPERIÊNCIA CANADENSE
Authors: Dos Santos Marcelo Carvalho
Published: November 2022

O Canadá adotou recentemente um novo sistema vertical de referência baseado na escolha de uma superfície equipotencial em detrimento do nível médio dos mares como utilizado durante o século passado e durante a primeira década deste século. Esta escolha tem implicações importantes a nível científicoe a nível prático. Este artigo busca discutir os motivos e as implicações desta escolha. Se por um lado ela oferece uma melhor representação da altitude ortométrica, por outro lado ela sepulta a rede de nivelamento geométrico de primeira ordem. Se por um lado ela facilita a manutenção do sistema vertical, por outro ela acarreta uma perda da “realidade no terreno.” Para os usuários, criam-se uma série de desafios,que, se sobrepujados com sucesso, trarão benefícios para as diversas atividades, notadamente aquelas que lidam com água, por exemplo, saneamento, inundações, e irrigação. O artigo também inclui uma discussão introdutória sobre sistemas de altitudes e sistemas verticais.

Published: November 2022

O uso de técnicas baseadas em regiões, ou orientadas a objetos, pode melhorar a exatidão da classifi cação da coberturada terra utilizando imagens provenientes de sensoriamento remoto. Devido à grande variedade de segmentadores disponíveis e à necessidade de testes para seleção de seus parâmetros, torna-se essencial uma metodologia objetiva paraavaliação e comparação de segmentações. Neste artigo, avalia-se o Índice Ponderado para Avaliação de Segmentação(Weighted Index for Segmentation Evaluation - WISE) e algumas variações deste, por meio de sua comparação comoutros dois índices encontrados na literatura, aplicados para selecionar a segmentação ótima para imagens sintéticas.Esses índices também foram avaliados em função dos resultados da classifi cação utilizando o Classifi cador de Vizinhomais Próximo. Os índices foram testados em três cenários distintos, que consideram classes de cobertura da terra comdiferentes níveis de separabilidade. O WISE e suas variações apresentaram bons resultados para a seleção de segmentações quando comparados com os demais, sem apresentar alguns dos problemas operacionais ou teóricos encontradosnos demais índices.

Published: November 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de aplicação de dados hiperespectrais em estimar a concentração desólidos suspensos totais no reservatório de Barra Bonita, em São Paulo. O uso de dados de sensoriamento remoto é umapoderosa ferramenta de monitoramento da qualidade da água, devido a sua capacidade de produzir dados temporais eespaciais. Técnicas de monitoramento tradicionais não produzem informação espacial e temporal periódica adequada e os dados de sensoriamento remoto podem auxiliar na superação dessa lacuna. Com o objetivo de estimar parâmetros daqualidade da água, de modo quantitativo, podem ser utilizados modelos bio-ópticos que relacionem a concentração decomponentes aquáticos e suas propriedades espectrais registradas por sensores remotos. Dados hiperespectrais medidosin situ foram utilizados para calibrar e validar modelos bio-ópticos previamente divulgados na literatura, e gerar umnovo modelo empírico, baseado na correlação entre a concentração de sólidos suspensos totais e a refl ectância de sensoriamento remoto. Os resultados obtidos foram avaliados por meio de análise de erros (Raiz Quadrada do Erro MédioQuadrático Percentual – RMSE, Erro Médio Absoluto em Porcentagem - MAPE, coefi ciente de determinação - R²).O melhor modelo para estimar as concentrações de sólidos em suspensão utilizou a região espectral do infravermelhopróximo, apresentando menor erro de estimativas de sólidos suspensos totais.
A METHOD FOR LOCATION RECOMMENDATION VIA SKYLINE QUERY TOLERANT TO NOISED GEOREFERENCED DATA
Authors: Oliveira Welder Batista de , Oliveira Sávio Salvarino Teles de , Rodrigues Vagner José do Sacramento , Santos Helton Saulo Bezerra dos , Cardoso Kleber Vieira
Published: November 2022

This paper presents a method to perform a location recommendation based on multiple criteria allowing noised coordinates. More speciï¬ cally, the skyline query is adapted to handle those noises by modeling the errors of georeferenced points with an appropriate probability distribution and modifying the traditional dominance criterion used by that technique. The method is applied to a scenario in which the coordinates are set by a geocoding process in a sample of schools in a speciï¬ c Brazilian city. It enables one to choose the level of conï¬ dence in which a point is removed from the skyline solution (the location recommendation).
STRUGGLE FOR SPACE IN COASTAL CITIES: A CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODEL FOR SIMULATING URBAN STRATIFICATION DYNAMICS
Authors: Feitosa Flavia da Fonseca , Maretto Raian Vargas , Monteiro Antônio Miguel Vieira
Published: November 2022

The social production of Brazilian cities has historically accentuated the diï¬€erences between urban locations and promoted urban stratification. This reality is particularly pronounced in coastal areas, where the locational advantages of areas near the sea create an increasingly competitive and exclusionary land market. Through methods of computational modeling and simulation, this work analyzes the production of the urban space of Caraguatatuba, a Brazilian city located on the northern coast of São Paulo State. We developed a cellular automata model called URBIS-Caragua to explore the dynamics of urban stratification bounded by urban legislation and the spatial distribution of residential location opportunities. In this process, particular attention was directed towards the empirical parameterization of the model, which relied on exploratory data analysis and statistical models for the periods 1991-2000 and 2000-2010. Through the parameterization and development of simulation experiments about past dynamics, it was possible to obtain new insights about how trends of urban expansion and stratification changed over the recent years, and the possible relation of these trends to urban legislation, locational factors and sociodemographic pressures. The experiments about future dynamics (2010-2025) indicated that the Master Plan of the city, approved in 2011, is likely to reinforce trends that have historically established an unequal distribution of opportunities for residents that belong to diï¬€erent social groups.
Las escuelas rurales ante las políticas de mercado: Un análisis meta-etnográfico
Authors: Vigo-Arrazola Begona , Beach Dennis
Published: November 2022

La aplicación de políticas de mercado competitivas en diferentes contextos nacionales ha convertido las características geográficas, económicas y sociales de la ubicación de la escuela en un objeto de valor de mercado. Esto tiene efectos que pueden ser positivos o negativos en los discursos y prácticas de los maestros/as rurales sobre la participación de la familia y la comunidad. Utilizando un diseño metodológico meta-etnográfico, el objetivo de este artículo ha sido explorar esta dimensión de la diferencia a partir de una muestra de veinte publicaciones de estudios etnográficos o investigaciones cualitativas similares en diferentes países europeos. El artículo ha revelado la existencia de diferentes lógicas de participación. Estas lógicas incluyen discursos y prácticas más cercanas a modelos democráticos de participación en escuelas de zonas remotas, modelos de participación basados en la captación de clientes en escuelas más accesibles, y modelos próximos a una perspectiva burocrática de la participación en otros. Los discursos parecen corresponder a las interacciones que se producen dentro y fuera de cada uno de los espacios como expresión de sus diferentes lógicas de supervivencia en el contexto del mercado.
The Meaning of Japanese Proverbs and Their Equivalents in Indonesian Language
Authors: Aulia Muhamad Faza , Tresnasari Ningrum
Published: November 2022

Proverbs in Japanese are known as Kotowaza, which are defined as wise sayings or ancient proverbs that have many practical benefits. This study aims to examine the understanding of Japanese language students in Bandung city regarding the meaning of proverbs and their equivalents in Indonesian. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with the theory used for analysis is Ogden and Richard's triangle of meaning theory. This paper is expected to be an insight in understanding the meaning of proverbs. Although each word in these proverbs has a different meaning, when formed into a proverb in both Indonesian and Japanese, it will give rise to a new meaning that contains sarcasm, advice or simply reinforces the meaning of each utterance. The word elements used to form proverbs in Japanese and Indonesian are the same, but the meaning will be different depending on the culture of the people. The results of the analysis showed that out of 41 students of Japanese language study programs in Bandung, 29 students understood the meaning of some of the Japanese proverbs given, although the proverbs were not learned in their formal education. As for the Indonesian equivalents, each of these Japanese proverbs has two Indonesian equivalents.

Cultural Identity of Attack On Titan Fans on Social Media Twitter in Indonesia
Authors: Irwana Tyara Maulidia , Hermawan Daniel
Published: November 2022

Research that carries the theme of cultural identity is always associated with identities that are formed and seen from ethnicity, race, country, and the like. The purpose of this study is to reveal the cultural identity of fans in an internet-based fandom, especially on Twitter social media. The theories used are Hall and Barker's theory of cultural identity, Nagy-Koles' virtual identity theory, Jenkins' fan study, and McQuail's new media theory. The approach used to conduct this research is a qualitative approach, while the method used to conduct this research is participatory observation and interview that involved several fans that followed one of the Attacks on Titan’s fandom accounts, AOTFESS. In AOTFESS, the study later found out that their cultural identity is not always seen from literal symbols, but rather formed and then found through the interactivities of fans who follow the account.
A generalized Suzuki–Berinde contraction that characterizes Banach spaces
Authors: Abbas Mujahid , Anjum Rizwan , Rakočević Vladimir
Published: November 2022

We introduce a large class of contractive mappings, called Suzuki–Berinde type contraction. We show that any Suzuki–Berinde type contraction has a fixed point and characterizes the completeness of the underlying normed space. A fixed point theorem for multivalued mappings is also obtained. These results unify, generalize and complement various known comparable results in the literature.
How Style Met the City
Authors: Vatri Alessandro
Published: November 2022

The modern concept of style is a complex one and is difficult to map fully onto a corresponding notion in ancient Greek thinking and vocabulary. This paper sets out to examine both the common understandings of this term in contemporary scholarship and the ancient sensitivities to what we may call stylistic phenomena – the multi-levelled features that may be conceptualized as characterizing the ‘how’ as opposed to the ‘what’. The paper moves on to show in what ways style and ancient stylistics are related to thecity, that is to say, to the use of language in the culturally-defined communicative contexts for which texts were produced and circulated in classical Athens. In the final section, this paper briefly reviews recent approaches and perspectives in the stylistics of Greek oratory and lays out the framework of this special issue.
Mind Style, Cognitive Stylistics, andĒthopoiiain Lysias
Authors: Boas Evert van Emde
Published: November 2022

This paper approaches Lysianicēthopoiiafrom the methodological perspective of ‘mind style’, a concept taken from modern stylistics. It is argued that Lysias gave his speakers individualized speaking styles that are indicative of their characters. The narrative of Lysias 1 is used as test case, and the analysis is based on a variety of linguistic features (sentence length, particle usage, pronoun usage) and cognitive concepts (mindblindness, schemas, cognitive metaphor). It is argued that, in a variety of subtle ways, Euphiletus is portrayed linguistically as a simple man, unaware of the motives and actions of others, and as a passive experiencer rather than an active participant in his own story.
Persuasion by Immersion: The
Narratio
of Lysias 1,
On the Killing of Eratosthenes
Authors: Allan Rutger
Published: November 2022

In his paper on Lysias, Dionysius of Halicarnassus characterizes the effect of Lysias’ enargeia as the power through which the listener “seems to see the things shown and to be almost in the company of the characters whom the orator introduces”. The capacity to give the audience a sense of being present at the narrated scene, vividly imagining the people, places, and actions, is one the most powerful instruments in Lysias’ persuasive toolbox. The ‘sense of presence’ created by Lysias’ narrative style will be approached as a form of what in cognitive literary studies has become known as immersion, a concept that is defined by in terms that are remarkably similar to Dionysius’ characterization of Lysias’ style, as “the experience through which a fictional world acquires the presence of an autonomous, language-independent reality populated by live human beings” (Ryan 2015, 9). Analyzing Lysias’ narrative techniques through the lens of their immersive power is interesting for several reasons. Psychological research has found evidence that highly immersed readers are more likely to be persuaded by the point of view implicit in a narrative than readers who are less immersed. Approaching Lysias’ style in terms of its immersive qualities also allows us analyze the text in terms of a wide and diverse range of linguistic and narratological devices: not only the strategic use of graphic (“vivid”) details, but also the use of verbal tense and aspect, vocatives, direct speech, the narrator’s visibility, and the narrative’s spatial and temporal organization, handling of perspective (focalization), and its capacity to raise suspense and to engage the audience’s attention and emotions.
Some Functions of Rhetorical Questions in Lysias’ Forensic Orations
Authors: Hall Edith
Published: November 2022

The rhetorical question, often assumed to have been favoured by the sophist Gorgias, became a fundamental feature of ancient rhetoric in both Greek and Latin. By the time of Senecan tragedy, an accumulation of as many as seventeen serial rhetorical questions can be found expressing extremes of emotion, especially indignation or despair. Rhetorical questions in some archaic and classical Greek authors have received limited attention, for example, in the Iliad those delivered by Thersites in exciting indignation (2.225–233) and by the authorial voice to create pathos in asking Patroclus about the Trojans he has killed (16.692–693); the string of questions Aphrodite humorously asks in Sappho 1; the ritual queries in the Derveni Papyrus; the series of two to three questions found (often near the beginning of speeches) in the agōns of some tragedies. But the increasing variety and sophistication of the deployment of the rhetorical question in the Greek orators has been surprisingly neglected. This article analyses some of the different uses to which Lysias puts rhetorical questions especially in relation to characterisation in his orations and argues that they represent a considerable advance on the practice of any predecessor in any genre.
Quantifying the water soil erosion rate using RUSLE, GIS, and RS approach for Al-Qshish River Basin, Lattakia, Syria
Authors: Abdo Hazem Ghassan , Almohamad Hussein , Al Dughairi Ahmed Abdullah , Al-Mutiry Motirh
Published: November 2022

Soil erosion is one of the most prominent geomorphological hazards threatening environmental sustainability in the coastal region of western Syria. The current war conditions in Syria has led to a lack of field data and measurements related to assessing soil erosion. Mapping the spatial distribution of potential soil erosion is a basic step in implementing soil preservation procedures mainly in the river catchments. The present paper aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment of soil erosion severity using revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) and remote sensing (RS) data in geographic information system (GIS) environment across the whole Al-Qshish river basin. Quantitatively, the annual rate of soil erosion in the study basin was 81.1 t ha−1 year−1 with a spatial average reaching 55.2 t ha−1 year−1. Spatially, the soil erosion risk map was produced with classification into five susceptible-zones: very low (41 %), low (40.5%), moderate (8.9%), high (5.4%) and very high (4.2%). The current study presented a reliable assessment of soil loss rates and classification of erosion-susceptible areas within the study basin. These outputs can be relied upon to create measures for maintaining areas with high and very high soil erosion susceptibility under the current war conditions.
Placing Islam: Geographies of Connection in Twentieth-Century Istanbul
Authors: Hammond Timur
Published: November 2022

For centuries, the Mosque of Eyüp Sultan has been one of Istanbul’s most important pilgrimage destinations, in large part because of the figure buried in the tomb at its center: Halid bin Zeyd Ebû Eyûb el-Ensârî, a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad. Timur Hammond argues here, however, that making a geography of Islam involves considerably more. Following practices of storytelling and building projects from the final years of the Ottoman Empire to the early 2010s, Placing Islam shows how different individuals and groups articulated connections among people, places, traditions, and histories to make a place that is paradoxically defined by both powerful continuities and dynamic relationships to the city and wider world. This book provides a rich account of urban religion in Istanbul, offering a key opportunity to reconsider how we understand the changing cultures of Islam in Turkey and beyond.
International Energy Strategy and Dependence on Foreign Energy in Turkey
Authors: Giritli Nuru
Published: November 2022

Energy resources are one of the most important inputs that feed technology to lead the progress and development of countries. Various studies show that domestic resources not only reduce foreign dependency but also make the country more energy-efficient in terms of economic and social perspectives. This chapter discusses Turkey’s strategies based on energy resources and focused on the domestic energy resources in Turkey despite the increasing energy demand due to urbanization, increased population, and structural changes in the country. Turkey’s dependency on energy resources has been increasing and strategies to ensure the energy efficiency of Turkey are highlighted. Turkey can reduce its dependence on foreign sources while increasing its energy supply security by increasing its resource diversity in the coming years, and it is necessary to evaluate its high renewable energy (wind, solar, biomass, hydraulic) potential.
Cyprus and Eastern Mediterranean in Greek Political Parties’ Discourse During The 2010s
Authors: Uzuner Zuhal Mert
Published: November 2022

After 2010, new security concerns in Greek foreign policy arose as a result of escalating tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean as a subregion. Existing security concerns are amplified by new challenges that Greek domestic political actors see as difficult. Although security concerns, threats, risks, and interests are the result of governmental decision-making and domestic politics, the ongoing impact of previous issues must be revisited to understand how the new issues are interpreted. The Cyprus question has increased pressure on the thoughts of the primary decision-makers in Greek foreign policy, the prime ministers and foreign ministers. In this framework of decision-making processes, emerging new issues in the Eastern Mediterranean are seen as linked to the Cyprus question and other Greek-Turkish disputes. The purpose of this article is to assess the relationship between Greece's political leadership and the settled national foreign and security policy concerns in the Eastern Mediterranean surrounding the Cyprus issue in the 2010s. In this framework, the key political leaders' and parties' public speeches and preferred policies in the 2010s were examined to present the relationship between Greek domestic and foreign policies, as well as the impact of leadership, particularly in decisions about Greek-Turkish relations in Eastern Mediterranean and the Cyprus question.

OBJECTIVES

Bronchiolitis is a viral respiratory infection that can progress to acute respiratory failure. This study evaluated the variability of hospital-wide high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) usage outside of the ICU and its association with length of stay (LOS) and cost among pediatric patients admitted with bronchiolitis.

METHODS

This study included patients <2 years old admitted with bronchiolitis between September 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019. Hospitals were divided into groups based on the proportion of patients among those who had never been in the ICU who received HFNC (non-ICU HFNC usage [NIHU]). We performed hierarchical mixed-model linear regression to estimate the association of NIHU with LOS and cost using multiplicative ratios (MR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), both (1) unadjusted and (2) after adjusting for demographics, clinical characteristics, and individual utilization of HFNC and/or ICU.

RESULTS

Unadjusted LOS was longer for patients in moderate (MR 1.14; 95% CI 1.11–1.18) and high (MR 1.26; 95% CI 1.22–1.30) NIHU hospitals. Adjusted LOS was longer in moderate (MR 1.03; 95% CI 1.01–1.06), and high (MR 1.08; 95% CI 1.05–1.11) NIHU hospitals. Unadjusted total cost was higher for patients in moderate (MR 1.20; 95% CI 1.16–1.25) and high (MR 1.26; 95% CI 1.22–1.31) NIHU hospitals. Adjusted total cost was higher for patients in moderate (MR 1.05; 95% CI 1.03–1.08), and high (MR 1.05; 95% CI 1.02–1.08) NIHU hospitals.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, increased NIHU is associated with increased LOS and total cost.

Kutatásunk témája az NCH Magyarország Kft. által forgalmazott baktériumos hígtrágyakezelési rendszer összehasonlító ökotoxikológiai vizsgálata. A kísérletet egy szarvasmarha borjúnevelő telepen végeztük 0–6 hónapos korcsoportú szekcióban. A tabletta formában rendelkezésünkre álló baktérium törzseket egy tartályban felszaporítottuk és hetente adagoltuk az aknában összegyűlő hígtrágyához. A kezelés célja volt, hogy a baktériumok elősegítsék a trágya homogenizációját, a szagcsökkentést és a szerves szennyeződések lebontását. Az ökotoxikológiai vizsgálatokat a trágyakezelés előtt, alatt és után, három mintavételi időben végeztük el.

A kutatásunk eredményeként elmondhatjuk, hogy a hígtrágyakezelés során a beltartalmi értékek jelentősen növekedtek, főként a nitrogénformák, a biológiai oxigénigény és a szárazanyagtartalom. Az ösztrogén hatás megléte számottevő maradt a kezelés végére is. A fitotoxicitási vizsgálat alapján mindegyik növény, szár- és gyökérnövekedésére pozitív hatással volt a trágyakezelés. A talajtoxicitási teszt eredménye bizonyította, hogy magasabb hígítás mellett veszti el a kezeletlen hígtrágya az érzékeny baktériumok élettevékenységére is kiterjedő gátló hatását. A békalencse vizsgálat során összességében elmondható, hogy 150× hígítás fölött megszűnik a hígtrágya gátló hatása mindhárom alkalommal vett minta esetében. Az alga növekedésgátlására a hígtrágya stagnáló-gátló tendenciát mutatott a kezelés alatt.

Eredményeink alapján arra a következtetésre jutottunk, hogy a vizsgált hígtrágyakezelési módszer a homogenitás, szagtalanítás és a szerves anyagok bontása során eredményes volt. Azonban javasolt magasabb hígítási arányban vagy magas talajvíztartalom mellett kijuttatni a földekre. A hormonhatású anyagok eltávolítására vonatkozólag további vizsgálatok szükségesek, melyek alapján majd javaslatokat lehet kidolgozni a gazdák számára.

Effects of the intestinal microbiota on prostate cancer treatment by androgen deprivation therapy
Authors: Terrisse Safae , Zitvogel Laurence , Kroemer Guido
Published: November 2022

Prostate cancer (PC) can be kept in check by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT, usually with the androgen synthesis inhibitor abiraterone acetate or the androgen receptor antagonist such as enzalutamide) until the tumor evolves to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The transition of hormone-sensitive PC (HSPC) to CPRC has been explained by cancer cell-intrinsic resistance mechanisms. Recent data indicate that this transition is also marked by cancer cell-extrinsic mechanisms such as the failure of ADT-induced PC immunosurveillance, which depends on the presence of immunostimulatory bacteria in the gut. Moreover, intestinal bacteria that degrade drugs used for ADT, as well as bacteria that produce androgens, can interfere with the efficacy of ADT. Thus, specific bacteria in the gut serve as a source of testosterone, which accelerates prostate cancer progression, and men with CRPC exhibit an increased abundance of such bacteria with androgenic functions. In conclusion, the response of PC to ADT is profoundly influenced by the composition of the microbiota with its immunostimulatory, immunosuppressive and directly ADT-subversive elements.

The present study aimed to evaluate the pomological and phenological traits, as well as yield potential and incidence of external defects of some domestic ('Bilecik,' 'Maraş 12', 'Maraş 18', 'Şebin,' 'Şen1') and foreign walnut cultivars ('Chandler,' 'Fernette,' 'Fernor,' 'Howard,' 'Pedro,' 'Serr') grown in Bursa (northwest in Turkey) conditions in 2014-2020. The first leafing was observed in Maraş 12, Serr, Şebin, and Maraş 18 cultivars, while Fernette and Fernor were the last leafing cultivars. The female blooming period of the cultivars was recorded the longest in Maraş 18 (15 days), and Şebin (16 days) was the shortest in Bilecik and Serr (10 days). The male flower blooming period was recorded the longest in Chandler, Fernette, Bilecik, and Şebin (16-18 days) and was the shortest in Maraş 12 and Serr (10 days). The average yield per tree of cultivars ranged between 1.87 kg (Şebin) and 14.21 kg (Pedro). Walnut blight was observed on average 15.85%, sunburn in 10.21%, codling moth in 5.11%, anthracnose in 3.23%, and bird damage in 2.35% of the fruits. The sound nut percent ranged from 40.06% (Şen 1) to 76.50% (Chandler). The nut weight of cultivars was between 9.91 g (Maraş 12) and 16.27 g (Şen 1). Kernel percent varied from 36.31% (Şen 1) to 53.56% (Maraş 12). The principal component analysis conducted to distinguish the cultivars suggests that the most important factors could be reduced to five components. The results showed that Maraş 12, Chandler, Fernor, and Howard were suitable cultivars for commercial cultivation in Bursa conditions.

Resumo Objetivo analisar a associação entre as vivências em sexualidade com as variáveis biossociodemográficas e a qualidade de vida de pessoas idosas. Métodos estudo transversal, desenvolvido com 1.922 pessoas idosas brasileiras, cujos dados foram coletados por meio de web survey. Utilizaram-se três instrumentos para a obtenção dos dados biossociodemográficos, da sexualidade e da qualidade de vida. A análise foi realizada com os testes de Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, correlação de Spearman e regressão linear multivariada, com método de entrada “inserir”, adotando Intervalo de Confiança de 95%. Resultados a avaliação geral da sexualidade esteve associada fortemente com estado civil (p<0,001); religião (p=0,001); não ter filhos (p<0,001); orientação sexual (p=0,008) e recebimento de orientações sobre sexualidade pelos profissionais de saúde (p=0,002). A sexualidade correlacionou-se de forma positiva e com diferentes magnitudes com todas as facetas de qualidade de vida (p<0,001). A análise de regressão demonstrou que todas as dimensões da sexualidade permaneceram associadas, positivamente, com qualidade de vida: ato sexual [β=0,154; IC95%=0,083-0,225; p<0,001]; relações afetivas [β=0,335; IC95%=0,263-0,407; p<0,001] e adversidades física e social [β=1,388; IC95%=1,206-1,571; p<0,001]. Conclusão e implicações para a prática: a sexualidade associou-se, significativamente, com algumas variáveis biossociodemográficas e esteve correlacionada, positivamente, com a qualidade de vida das pessoas idosas investigadas.
Initialization of Feature Selection Search for Classification

Published: November 2022

Selecting the best features in a dataset improves accuracy and efficiency of classifiers  in a learning process. Datasets generally have more features than necessary, some of  them being irrelevant or redundant to others. For this reason, numerous feature selection  methods have been developed, in which different evaluation functions and measures are  applied. This paper proposes the systematic application of individual feature evaluation  methods to initialize search-based feature subset selection methods. An exhaustive review  of the starting methods used by genetic algorithms from 2014 to 2020 has been carried out.  Subsequently, an in-depth empirical study has been carried out evaluating the proposal for  different search-based feature selection methods (Sequential forward and backward selection,  Las Vegas filter and wrapper, Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms). Since  the computation time is reduced and the classification accuracy with the selected features  is improved, the initialization of feature selection proposed in this work is proved to be  worth considering while designing any feature selection algorithms.
