Authors: Amin Salman , Shabir Ghulam , Riaz Saqib
Published: December 2020

The study aims to investigate the governance issues during regime of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) from 2013 to 2018 in the lenses of the English Pakistani newspapers. The sole purpose is to examine that how the newspapers framed the general issues, as it is showing the performance of the government. The research design was a quantitative content analysis method and analyzing frames "Good" and "Bad" in perspective of Agenda setting level 2 "Framing Theory". All news stories related to general issues were published in the selected Pakistani English newspapers from the (2013 to 2018) that has been analyzed. The census method applied to investigate the problem. The finding of the study revealed that the socio-economic development was not priority of an elected government and opposition parties hindered democracy by engaging it in an adversarial politics with the traditional political style. Moreover, elected democratic government was unable to uphold its pre-election promises.

Abstract. Asia has attracted research attention because it has the highest anthropogenic emissions in the world, and the Model Inter-Comparison Study for Asia (MICS-Asia) Phase III was carried out to foster our understanding on the status of air quality over Asia. This study analyzed wet deposition in Southeast Asian countries (Myanmar, Thailand, Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR), Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia) with the aim of providing insights into the seasonal variation of wet deposition. Southeast Asia was not fully considered in MICS-Asia Phase II due to a lack of observational data; however, the analysis period of MICS-Asia III, namely, the year 2010, is covered by ground observations of the Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET), and the coordinated simulation domain was extended to cover these observation sites. The analyzed species are wet depositions of S (sulfate aerosol, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)), N (nitrate aerosol, nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and nitric acid (HNO3)), and A (ammonium aerosol and ammonia (NH3)). The wet deposition simulated with seven models driven by unified meteorological model in MICS-Asia III was used with the ensemble approach, which effectively modulates the differences in performance among models. By comparison with EANET observations, although the seven models generally captured the wet depositions of S, N, and A, there were difficulties capturing these in some cases. This failure of models is considered to be related to the difficulty in capturing the precipitation in Southeast Asia, especially during the dry and wet seasons. To overcome this, a precipitation-adjusted approach which scaling the modeled precipitation to the observed value was applied, and it was demonstrated that the model performance was improved. Satellite measurements were also used to adjust for precipitation data, which worked well to account for spatio-and-temporal precipitation patterns, especially in the dry season. As the statistical scores were mostly improved by this adjustment, the estimation of wet deposition with precipitation adjustment was considered to be superior. To utilize satellite measurements, the spatial distribution of wet deposition was revised. Based on this revision, it was found that Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia were upward-corrected and Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, and the Philippines were downward-corrected; these corrections were up to ±40 %. The improved accuracy of precipitation amount was key to estimating wet deposition in this study. These results suggest that the precipitation-adjusted approach has the potential to obtain accurate estimates of wet deposition through the fusion of models and observations.

Abstract. Particulate organic nitrates (pON) are an important component of secondary organic aerosol in biogenic emission dominant environments, and play a critical role in NOx cycles. However, estimation of pON has been a challenge in polluted environments, e.g., North China Plain with high concentrations of inorganic nitrate and NOx. Here we developed a method for estimation of pON from the measurements of high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometer coupled with a thermodenuder based on the volatility differences between inorganic nitrate and pON. The results generally correlated well with those estimated from positive matrix factorization of combined organic and inorganic mass spectra and from the ratio of NO+ to NO2+ (NOx+ ratio), yet had improvements in reducing negative values due to the influences of high concentration of inorganic nitrate and constant NOx+ ratio of organic nitrates (RON). By applying this approach to the measurements at an urban (Beijing) and a rural site (Gucheng) in summer and winter in North China Plain, we estimated that the average mass concentrations of NO3,org (1.8 µg m−3 vs.1.0 µg m−3) and pON to OA (27.5 % vs. 14.8 %) were higher in summer than in winter in Beijing, indicating more pON formation in biogenically and anthropogenically mixed environments. In addition, the average NO3,org loading in Gucheng was 1.9 µg m−3, and the pON at the rural site also showed higher contribution to OA than that in Beijing during wintertime due to higher primary emissions and gaseous precursors in Gucheng. In addition, RON was determined and showed considerable differences between day-night and clean-polluted periods, highlighting the complexity of pON compounds from different chemical pathways (e.g., OH and NO3 oxidation) and sources.
A New Perspective and Explanation to the Formation of
Plasmaspheric Shoulder Structure
Authors: Zhang Hua , Peng Guangshuai , Shen Chao
Published: December 2020

Abstract. Over the hours of 5–9 UT on June 8 2001, the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) instrument onboard IMAGE satellite observed a Shoulder-like formation in the morning sector and a Plume-like structure straddling in the between noon and dusk region. Simulation results of the plasmapause formation based on mechanism of drift motion called Test Particle Model (TPM) and have reproduced various plasmapause structures and subsequent evolution of the Shoulder. The analysis indicated that the Shoulder is created by a dawn-dusk convection electric field intensity, sharp reduction and spatial nonuniform manifested. As, combination of the plasmaspheric rotation rate speed up with L-shell increase and plasma flux do radial outflow in the predawn sector to interact, and produce an asymmetric bulge that rotates eastward. The Shoulder-like structure rotates sunward and develops to the single or double Plume structure during active times.

Abstract. Gas concentrations and isotopic signatures can unveil microbial metabolisms and their responses to environmental changes in soil. Currently, few methods measure soil trace gases such as the products of nitrogen and carbon cycling, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), that could constrain microbial biochemical processes like nitrification, methanogenesis, respiration, and microbial communication. Versatile trace gas sampling systems that integrate soil probes with sensitive trace gas analyzers could fill this gap with measurements resolving spatial (centimeter scale) and temporal (minutes) variations in concentrations and isotopic signatures of in situ soil gases. We developed a system that integrates new 15 cm long sintered PTFE diffusive soil gas probes with various infrared spectrometers and a VOC mass spectrometer. The system is based on porous and hydrophobic soil probes that non-disruptively collect and transport gas from multiple probes to one or more central gas analyzers. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility and versatility of an automated multi-probe system for soil gas measurements of isotopic ratios of nitrous oxide (δ18O, δ15N, and the 15N site-preference of N2O), methane, carbon dioxide (δ13C), and VOCs. First, we used an inert silica matrix to challenge probe measurements under controlled gas conditions. By changing and controlling system flow parameters, including probe flow rate, we optimized recovery of representative soil gas samples while reducing sampling artifacts on subsurface concentrations. Second, we forced environmental manipulations in soil-filled columns to demonstrate real-time detection of subsurface gas dynamics in response to irrigation and soil redox conditions. In addition, we developed a new laser spectrometer to recover isotope ratios for 14N14N16O (δ446), 14N15N16O (δ456), 15N14N16O (δ546), and 14N14N18O (δ448) with high precision and low concentration dependence. We captured temporal subsurface gas pulses in CO2, N2O, and VOCs. This demonstrated the potential for diffusive-based probes to couple to trace gas sensors for soil health and fertility studies, and to inform high-throughput meta-omics, leading to the development of a suite of powerful new tools for soil analysis.
First Assessment of the Earth Heat Inventory Within CMIP5
Historical Simulations
Authors: Cuesta-Valero Francisco José , García-García Almudena , Beltrami Hugo , Finnis Joel
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere over the last century has caused an accumulation of heat within the ocean, the continental subsurface, the atmosphere and the cryosphere. Although ~90 % of the energy gained by the climate system has been stored in the ocean, the other components of the Earth heat inventory cannot be neglected due to their influence on associated climate processes dependent on heat storage, such as sea level rise and permafrost stability. However, there has not been a comprehensive assessment of the heat inventory within global climate simulations yet. Here, we explore the ability of thirty advanced General Circulation Models (GCMs) from the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to simulate the distribution of heat within the Earth's energy reservoirs for the period 1972–2005 of the Common Era. CMIP5 GCMs simulate an average heat storage of 247 ± 172 ZJ (96 ± 4 % of total heat content) in the ocean, 5 ± 9 ZJ (2 ± 3 %) in the continental subsurface, 2 ± 3 ZJ (1 ± 1 %) in the cryosphere, and 2 ± 2 ZJ (1 ± 1 %) in the atmosphere. However, the CMIP5 ensemble overestimates the ocean heat content by 83 ZJ and underestimates the continental heat storage by 9 ZJ and the cryosphere heat content by 5 ZJ, in comparison with recent observations. The representation of terrestrial ice masses and the continental subsurface, as well as the response of each model to the external forcing, should be improved in order to obtain better representations of the Earth heat inventory and the partition of heat among climate subsystems in global transient climate simulations.
Suppression of very low frequency radio noise in transient
electromagnetic data with semi-tapered gates
Authors: Larsen Jakob Juul , Pedersen Stine Søgaard , Foged Nikolaj , Auken Esben
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The transient electromagnetic method (TEM) is widely used for mapping subsurface resistivity structures but data are inevitably contaminated by noise from various sources. It is common practice to gate signals from TEM systems to reduce the amount of data and improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Gating acts as a filter, and optimum gating will pass the TEM signal un-attenuated while suppressing noise. In systems based on analog boxcar integrators, the gating corresponds to filtering with a square window. The frequency response of this window shape has large side lobes, which are often insufficient in attenuating noise, e.g., from radio signals in the very low frequency (VLF) 3–30 kHz band. Tapered gates have better side lobe suppression and attenuates noise better but tapering with analog boxcar integrators is difficult. We propose to use many short boxcar gates, denoted sub-gates, and combine the sub-gates into semi-tapered gates to improve noise rejection at late gates where low signal normally leads to poor SNR. The semi-tapering approach is analyzed and tested experimentally on data from a roving TEM system. We quantify the effect of semi-tapered gates by computing an improvement factor as the ratio between the standard error of data measured with boxcar gates and the standard error of data measured with semi-tapered gates. Data from a test survey in Gedved, Denmark with 1825 measurements gave mean improvement factors between 1.04 and 2.22 for the ten late-time gates centered between 78.7 μs and 978.1 μs. After inversion of the data, we find that semi-tapering increases the depth of investigation by about 20 % for this specific survey. We conclude that the semi-tapered approach is a viable path towards increasing SNR in TEM systems based on analog boxcar integrators.
Oxygen and nutrient trends in the Tropical Oceans
Authors: Stramma Lothar , Schmidtko Sunke
Published: December 2020

Abstract. A vertical expansion of the intermediate-depth low-oxygen zones (300 to 700 m) is seen in time series for selected tropical areas for the period 1960 to 2008, in the eastern tropical Atlantic, the equatorial Pacific and the eastern tropical Indian Ocean. These nearly five decade-long time series were extended to 68 years by including rare historic data starting in 1950 and more recent data. For the extended time series between 1950 and 2018 the deoxygenation trend for the layer 300 to 700 m is similar to the deoxygenation trend seen in the shorter time series. Additionally, temperature, salinity and nutrient time series in the upper ocean layer (50 to 300 m) of these areas were investigated since this layer provides critical pelagic habitat for biological communities. Generally, oxygen is decreasing in the 50 to 300 m layer except for an area in the eastern tropical South Atlantic. Nutrients also showed long-term trends in the 50 to 300 m layer in all ocean basins and indicates overlying variability related to climate modes. Nitrate increased in all areas. Phosphate also increased in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean areas, while it decreased in the two areas of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Silicate decreased in the Atlantic and Pacific areas but increased in the eastern Indian Ocean. Hence oxygen and nutrients show trends in the tropical oceans, though nutrients trends are more variable between ocean areas than the oxygen trends, therefore we conclude that those trends are more dependent on local drivers in addition to a global trend. Different positive and negative trends in temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrients indicate that oxygen and nutrient trends cannot be completely explained by local warming.
Predicate formation and verb-stranding ellipsis in Uzbek
Authors: Gribanova Vera
Published: December 2020

This paper investigates the interaction between head movement of the verb and ellipsis of vP (verb-stranding ellipsis, VSE) in Uzbek — an understudied Turkic language of Central Asia. I argue that Uzbek verbal predicates are formed by head movement, while non-verbal predicates are formed by a species of Local Dislocation (Embick & Noyer 2001; Embick 2003). Uzbek has two distinct ellipsis strategies that yield similar strings: argument ellipsis (AE) and VSE. VSE occurs only with (head-moved) verbs, and can elide non-verbal predicates, while AE cannot. Uzbek VSE imposes a strict identity requirement on the heads extracted from the ellipsis site (the Verbal Identity Condition (Goldberg 2005b)). Both the genuine existence of this condition, and its source, have recently come under scrutiny; this paper presents Uzbek evidence in support of the claim that the Verbal Identity Condition is genuinely present in a subset of typologically diverse languages with VSE (see Gribanova 2018b). Variable crosslinguistic behavior with respect to the Verbal Identity Condition is predicted by an independently supported view of head movement (Harizanov & Gribanova 2019) in which certain types of head movement are syntactic — yielding the potential for mismatches of extracted material, by analogy with phrasal movement (Merchant 2001) — while others are postsyntactic (yielding the Uzbek-type VSE pattern). The Uzbek investigation therefore provides crucial evidence in favor of a particular view of the crosslinguistic landscape of VSE, and moves us a step closer to explaining why head movement out of ellipsis domains varies systematically in its behavior across languages.
Tríplice contingência cultural: uma proposta de explicação comportamental da cultura
Authors: Fontana Jordana , Laurenti Carolina
Published: December 2020

O interesse pelo estudo da interface entre a ontogênese e a cultura, e mais especificamente pelos aspectos culturais, ensejou a constituição de uma área de pesquisa que tem sido denominada Análise Comportamental da Cultura. A despeito desse esforço analítico, ainda não há uma explicação consensual de cultura de acordo com os pressupostos do comportamentalismo radical. Com base na análise de textos de Skinner sobre o nível cultural, o objetivo do artigo consistiu em mostrar que a explicação skinneriana da cultura pode ser acomodada na estrutura de uma contingência cultural de três termos. A cultura, então, passa a ser entendida a partir da inter-relação probabilística entre práticas culturais, condições do ambiente físico e social e as consequências culturais que operam a partir do valor de sobrevivência da cultura. Essa explicação possibilita não só uma compreensão da cultura, mas também de como acontece a evolução cultural. Assim, a cultura apresenta-se como um nível de variação e seleção com características próprias, tendo temporalidade e complexidade diferentes do nível ontogenético e filogenético e, portanto, necessitando de um nível específico de análise.

Published: December 2020

Diante da necessidade da superação de propostas organicistas e medicalizantes para a compreensão de supostos transtornos neurobiológicos relacionados a queixas de desatenção e hiperatividade/impulsividade, lançou-se mão neste artigo de referenciais do materialismo histórico-dialético e psicologia histórico-cultural, objetivando sistematizar a organização metodológica desenvolvida na tese de doutorado de Ferracioli (2018), no sentido de um estudo empírico no campo da psicologia concreta. Através de experimento formativo com coleta de dados em campo junto a alunos/as e professoras do segundo ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola municipal, identificou-se os determinantes pedagógicos responsáveis por melhor promover o desenvolvimento da atenção voluntária em contexto escolar. No entanto, o foco deste artigo está direcionado para os procedimentos elaborados para esta investigação, apresentados em três momentos fundamentais: empírico, abstrato e concreto. Os resultados indicaram que a atenção voluntária é consequência do ensino, observando-se significativa ampliação das capacidades atencionais e escolares dos sujeitos participantes, o que permitiu ao pesquisador constatar, no cerne dessas mudanças, a centralidade do processo de internalização de signos/conteúdos na atividade de estudo, assim como indicar formas de organização do ensino mais apropriadas ao desenvolvimento da atenção voluntária. Por fim, a partir dos resultados, fez-se uma crítica à cientificidade de concepções organicistas e medicalizantes em educação.
Consciousness is Primary: Science of Consciousness for the 21st Century
Authors: Travis Frederick T.
Published: December 2020

In the 20th century, the understanding of matter was transformed from a world of classical objects to a world of probabilities that were excitations of non-material quantum fields. Psychology may be involved in a similar transformation. In the 20th century, psychological models included specific “classical” content such as memories, attention, or emotions. However, some thinkers model consciousness as more field-like. Chalmers asserts that consciousness is an irreducible part of matter, along with time and space. Goff maintains that consciousness permeates reality and is expressed in degrees in different structures. Tononi’s Integrated Information Theory posits that consciousness is a fundamental property of any physical system and the degree of consciousness expressed reflects the power of the present state to affect the probability of its past and future states. Nader’s model goes beyond these concepts and postulates that consciousness is a nonmaterial, non-physical reality that exists entirely by itself. It has an ontological existence and generates matter, governs the interaction between material structures and is responsible for individual subjective experiences. This model is supported by direct experience of the field of consciousness, called pure consciousness, during Transcendental Meditation practice. This allows empirical investigation of pure consciousness and of higher states of consciousness when pure consciousness is integrated with daily experiences.

La complejidad narrativa en los cuentos de brujas del anime contemporáneo: autoconsciencia y cognoscibilidad en Kurozuka y Madoka Magica
Authors: Loriguillo-López Antonio
Published: December 2020

El fantástico es uno de los principales marcos temáticos de las producciones de la animación comercial japonesa. Dentro de este género, las diversas adaptaciones y reelaboraciones de mitos y cuentos tradicionales suponen recursos fértiles con los que cubrir las demandas de una industria extremadamente prolífica. Sin embargo, pese a su popularidad como objeto de estudio, las exploraciones textuales sobre anime fantástico rara vez se aventuran más allá de las coordenadas temáticas o históricas de sus argumentos. El presente artículo persigue atender a la relación entre la intricada narración de dos series televisivas significativas dentro del fantástico en el anime —Kurozuka y Madoka Magica— y la representación de las brujas que las protagonizan. Mediante el uso de las categorías narratológicas de la autoconsciencia y de la cognoscibilidad indagamos en la relación entre la tradición representacional japonesa y la narración compleja del audiovisual contemporáneo.

Espacios de resistencia: antologías de ciencia ficción mexicana
Authors: Rosas Mendoza Rodrigo
Published: December 2020

La ciencia ficción en Latinoamérica y particularmente en México ha configurado su propia identidad mediante la narrativa corta. En México, la ciencia ficción ha encontrado en las antologías de cuento el espacio óptimo para su difusión, pues han sido el medio que consolida las plumas mexicanas más relevantes de esta narrativa mediante un corpus de autores constantes, de antologadores comprometidos con la difusión de la literatura cienciaficcional, con prólogos, introducciones y presentaciones que ilustran un fenómeno literario cada vez más vigente y atractivo. Por lo tanto, para aproximarse a una idea de tradición cienciaficcional en México, es necesario analizar las antologías como plataforma de difusión y como instancias consagrantes.

Published: December 2020

Background:

Sexual dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a significant but overlooked impairment, and treatment options are rare. The aims of this systematic review were to identify psychological interventions used to treat sexual dysfunction in MS, to estimate their benefit, and to note appropriate treatment approaches for research projects and clinical use.

Methods:

A systematic review update was conducted to find psychological interventions aiming to improve sexual dysfunction in MS. A comprehensive search and review of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and PubMed were completed, and the effects and quality of selected studies were reported.

Results:

Six publications with 295 participants were identified. All selected studies assessed the effectiveness of psychological interventions on sexual dysfunction or sexual satisfaction in people with MS; four studies directly targeted sexual dysfunction in MS, one was a mindfulness yoga program to improve fatigue and quality of life, and one other presented a secondary analysis of a study targeting depression in MS. All six studies reported significant improvements in sexual dysfunction or sexual satisfaction and somewhat in psychological variables.

Conclusions:

A pressing need for development and adequate evaluation of psychological interventions for sexual dysfunction in MS remains. In addition, assessment of sexual dysfunction in MS and its treatment should be more focused in clinical care.

A compact triple band antenna by using etching slots technique in the radiation element is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is designed to target three different frequencies: 7.5 GHz (military satellite communication), 9 GHz (radar applications) and 28 GHz (fifth generation applications). The fabricated prototype of the antenna has overall dimensions of 13x12.8x1.6 mm3. Measurements were carried out to validate the simulation results. The impedance bandwidths are 259 MHz (7.435-7.695 MHz), 355 MHz (8.86-9.221 MHz) and 2.67 GHz (26.79-29.433 GHz) with return loss less than -10 dB. Furthermore, the suggested antenna provides a gain of 3.96 dBi, 3.05 dBi and 5.86 dBi at 7.5 GHz, 9 GHz and 28 GHz respectively. Therefore, the results demonstrate that the proposed triple band antenna can be used for military satellite communication, radar applications and is a good candidate for the future 5G applications.
The Changing Appearance of Propaganda

Yaşanan küreselleşme süreci içinde bilimsel hayatın değişime uğrayan birçok yönü, kitle hareketleri ve propagandayı da kapsayarak yeni fikirlerin ortaya çıkmasına ve yeni çalışma alanlarının gözlemlenmesine yol açmıştır. Bu çalışmada
literatür taraması yolu ile kitle hareketleri ve propagandanın tarihsel gelişim sürecindeki izi sürülmeye çalışılarak, kitle hareketleri ve propagandanın niteliklerinde meydana gelen ve değişen görünümlerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır.
Günümüzde kitle hareketleri, ağırlıkla kitle eylemlerine dönüşerek toplumsal yaşama yansımaktadır. Bu bağlamda kitlelere yönelik oluşturulan propagandanın bilinçaltı mesajlar yolu ile yapılmaya başlanması, bu değişen görünümün
odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Sosyolojinin ise antropolojik araştırma kökenli karakteri, kültürel anlam kodlarını ve bilinçaltı mesajları önemli bir hale getirmektedir. Ayrıca kitle hareketleri ve propagandanın sosyolojide ayrı
bir uzmanlık konusu haline gelmesi ve propagandanın günümüze kadar olan tarihsel süreci incelendiğinde, bir toplumu tanımlayabilmek için kullanılan kriterlerden birçoğunu ihtiva eder nitelikte olması, kitlelerin çok boyutlu niteliğini
de gözler önüne sermektedir. Çok boyutlu ve disiplinler arası çalışmalar, kitle hareketleri ve propagandayı, insanı anlama ve nöro bilim kapsamında, nöro sosyoloji, nöro ekonomi, nöro politika ve nöro iletişim gibi yeni çalışma
alanlarının konuları haline getirmektedir. Bu bağlamda dijital toplum ve akıllı birey çağrısı daha anlamlı hale gelmektedir. Hızla yaşanan teknolojik değişmelerin ortaya koyacağı dijital toplum ve akıllı bireyler, kitlelerin soru
sormadan ve sorgulamadan kabul etme özelliğinin gelecek yıllarda etkisinin azalmasına ve dünya savaşlarından bu yana sistemli bir şekilde kullanılan propagandanın da bugün olduğu gibi görünümünün ve niteliğinin değişmesine neden
olacaktır.

Although there are many studies on the physical and physiological characteristics of football players, it can be said that studies describing the reaction characteristics of football players especially compare the genders are quite
limited. The aim of this study is to determine the visual, auditory reaction times of male and female football national team athletes. Male (n=30;age 16.54±2.10years; height length 176.60±6.81cm; body weight 69.20±8.97kg) and woman
(n=18; age 17.44±1.81) playing in the U 17 Men's and Women's Football National Team. Height length 163.72±5.45cm; body weight 54.23±6.48kg) player participated. The data obtained are presented as arithmetic mean, standard deviation,
minimum and maximum. All statistical evaluations were made with the help of SPSS 21 package program. Visual reaction values of male players in the examination conducted right hand: 193.46±15.37ms; left hand: 191.10± 23.55ms; auditory
reaction values on the right hand: 171.40± 26.45ms; left hand was detected as 165.23±27.37ms. The female players; visual reaction values right hand: 187.66±47.14 ms; left hand: 210.44±47.96 ms; audial reaction values right hand:
217.72±69.30ms; left hand was determined as 204.05±49.13ms. It has been determined that the visual and auditory reaction times, which are the main determinants of the performance, are lower in favor of men than in women in the
U 17 Football National Team. Different results were obtained according to gender in different sports branches at elite level in the literature and the reaction did not change according to gender.
Public Educational Facilities in Turkey in Atatürk’s Era

Published: December 2020

Türk tarihinde halk eğitimi farklı şekillerde hep var olmuştur. Ancak halka okuma yazma ve hesap işlerini öğretme konusunda ilk adım Tanzimat döneminde atılmıştır. Bununla birlikte Osmanlı Devleti’nde halk eğitimi çalışmaları İstanbul
ile sınırılı kalmıştır. Sadece 1911 yılında kurulan Türk Ocakları İstanbul dışında da bu çalışmaları başlatmıştır. Bu gelişmeler halk eğitimi konusunda Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ne alt yapı oluşturduğu için önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı
Atatürk döneminde halk eğitimi konusunda yapılan çalışmaları araştırıp belirlemektir. Araştırmanın konusunu Atatürk döneminde yapılan halk eğitimi çalışmaları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada, halk eğitimi konusundaki çalışmalara Milli
Mücadele yıllarında başlandığı görüşmüştür. Bu dönem Serbest Âli Dersler Müessese-i İlmiye kurularak halk eğitimi yönünde ilk çalışmanın başlatıldığı, 1923 yılında bir Halk Terbiyesi Şubesi’nin kurulduğu ve bu şubenin halk eğitimi
çalışmalarını yürütmekle görevlendirildiği, aynı yıl kurulan Fethi Bey Hükümeti’nin halk eğitimi konusuna Hükümet programında yer verdiği tespit edilmiştir. 1927 yılında Halk Dershaneleri açılarak halka okuma-yazmayı öğretmenin
yanı sıra halkı çeşitli konularda bilgi sahibi yapma yoluna gidildiği, ancak bu çalışmalarla halk eğitimi konusunda istenilen hedeflere ulaşılamadığı görülmüştür. Harf İnkılabı sonrası ise topluma yeni harflerle okuma-yazmayı öğretmenin
yanı sıra halka hayatını ve geçimini sürdürmesi, cumhuriyet felsefesini benimsemesi amacıyla eğitim verilmek üzere Millet Mektepleri açıldığı, Millet Mekteplerinde yürütülen halk eğitimi çalışmalarıyla 7 yıllık bir sürede okur-yazar
oranının Harf İnkılabı öncesinin iki katına çıkarıldığı görülmektedir. Çalışmada, başta Türk Ocakları ve ordu olmak üzere Himaye-i Etfal Cemiyeti, Muallimler Birliği, Halkevlerinin açtığı Okuma Yazma Kurslarının yaptıkları çalışmalarla
halk eğitimi konusunda Millet Mekteplerine katkı sağladıkları sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca, hem ulusal gazeteler hem de yerel gazeteler tarafından halkın okuma yazma öğrenmesine ve Millet Mekteplerine katılımın artmasına yönelik
yayınlar yapıldığı görülmüştür.

Modern eğitim anlayışı; niteliğin artırılması için kullanılan yöntem, teknik, materyal ya da eğitim araçlarında çeşitliliğin sağlanmasını bir zorunluluk olarak ortaya koymuştur. Hem öğrencilerin hem de öğretmenlerin sorunsuz ve en
kolay şekilde ulaşabildikleri, ders içi etkinliklerde en çok kullandıkları eğitim materyali ders kitaplarıdır. Türkçe eğitimi açısından bakıldığında ise eğitim materyali olarak metinler ön plana çıkmaktadır. Metin işleme sürecinde
öğretmenin aktif olduğu, öğrencinin pasifize edildiği, içeriğin ise üstünkörü bir şekilde ele alındığı klasik metin inceleme yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Klasik metin inceleme yöntemleriyle ele alınan metinlerde her detaya ulaşabilmek
mümkün değildir. Bilinen ögelerin üzerinden hızlıca geçildiği için klasik yöntemler her defasında eksik unsurlar bırakmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, metindeki anlamların tespit edilebilmesi için göstergebilimin imkanlarından yararlanmak
gerekir. Çünkü göstergebilim, bilimsel perspektifle nesnel değerlendirme ve metinleri tüm detaylarıyla derinlemesine inceleme fırsatı sunar. Bu çalışmada, Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı, Talim ve Terbiye Kurulu Başkanlığı tarafından; 2017-2018
eğitim öğretim yılında ilköğretim 8. sınıf öğrencileri için tavsiye edilen Türkçe ders kitaplarından biri esas alınmış ve bu kitaptaki okuma metinleri göstergebilimsel bağlamda bir incelemeye (okumaya) tabi tutulmuştur. Çalışma,
8. sınıf Türkçe ders kitabında bulunan 13 anlatısal okuma metniyle sınırlandırılmış, bu metinler içerik analizi yöntemiyle irdelenmiş, çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda çeşitli kavram ve ilişkiler analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda,
metinsel iletilerdeki derin ve örtük yapıya göstergebilimsel okuma yöntemiyle ulaşılabileceği, bunun derin öğrenmelerin oluşumuna zemin hazırlayarak Türkçe öğretiminde temel dil becerilerinin kazandırılmasına katkı sağlayabileceği
sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Financial Effects of COVID 19 Pandemic: Application of BIST Manufacturing Sector
Authors: BAYRAKTAR Ahmet
Published: December 2020

COVID 19 ilk olarak Çin Wuhan eyaletinde Aralık 2019 ayında tespit edildi, Türkiye’de ise 11 Mart 2020 tarihinde ilk vaka duyuruldu. COVID 19 pandemi olarak nitelendirilmesinden sonra sadece bir sağlık sorunu olmasının ötesinde birçok
sosyal, siyasal ve ekonomik etkileri oldu. Özellikle karantina uygulamaları çerçevesinde uluslararası sınırlandırmalar ile birlikte tedarik zincirlerindeki kesintiler ekonomik faaliyetlerde daralmaya yol açtı. Bu süreçte bazı sektörlerde
yatırımlar azaldı ve özellikle gıda sektöründe talep artışı görüldü. Pandemiyle birlikte menkul kıymet borsalarında satışlar hisse senedi fiyatlarını düşürdü. Daha sonraki süreçte ise borsalarda toparlanma hareketi gözlendi. Bu
çalışmada BİST İmalat Sektörü hisse senetleri üzerinde COVID 19 pandemisinin etkisi incelenmiştir. Hisse senedi getiri sonuçlarına göre, BİST 100’de işlem gören İmalat sektörüne ait hisse senetlerinin gün bazında ortalama olarak
negatif getiri ürettikleri görülmektedir. Söz konusu getiri duyuru tarihinden bir gün sonrasında daha belirgindir (Dt+1: -0,07). Bu tarihte pandemi etkisiyle Dünya borsalarında görülen düşüşe paralel BİST’te de düşüş gerçekleşmiştir.
Araştırmada pandeminin yarattığı belirsizlik ortamında özellikle Duyuru tarihi etrafında fiyat oynaklığının yüksek olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Araştırma verileri süreç bazında incelendiğinde ise duyuru tarihinden 130 gün önceki süreçte
(Dt-130) ortalama olarak %0,12, duyuru tarihinden sonraki 130 günlük süreçte (Dt+130) ortalama olarak %0,46 pozitif getiri ürettiği görülmektedir. Bu verilere göre BİST 100 de işlem gören imalat sektörü hisse senetlerinin pandemiden
önceki süreçten daha fazla getiri ürettikleri görülmektedir. Bu veriler BİST bazında sektörün pandeminin olumsuz etkilerini giderdiği ve toparlandığı şeklinde yorumlanmaktadır.
A Different Way of Increasing the Variety of Wellness and Health Tourism: Cupping Therapy (Hijama)
Authors: BULUK Buket , GÜZEL Tülay
Published: December 2020

Individuals travel locally and globally in order to find alternative treatments which are less-toxic and more beneficial to their health and wellness. Cupping therapy is based on the principle that different sized cups create a vacuum
effect on the skin and increase the blood flow in the area to a high level. Thus, while increasing the amount of oxygen and blood in the tissues, the excretion of toxins and carbon dioxide through the lymph is accelerated. Despite
the popularity of western system of medicine, cupping therapy started to attract great attention in Turkey as a traditional and complementary medicine system to improve the quality of people's life. It is also a source of attraction
for wellness and health tourism. In this context, the present study aims to examine the effectiveness of Cupping Therapy (CT) on health-seeking travelers in the sample of visitors who have had cupping therapy at least once in their
life. The findings of the study indicated that the participants who visited the thermal facilities to have CT considered the CT as an alternative and complementary treatment method without side effects. The participants also indicated
that CT made them feel good and healthy. From this point of view, it can be said that CT positively affects individuals' perception of physical and psychological health and increases people's health and general quality of life.
Based on the study results, with the reason of cupping therapy has very common knowledge and demand within Turkey, it can also be said that CT is a different way of increasing the variety of wellness and health tourism.
