Authors: Fabisiak Jacek , Jurczak Wojciech , Szubrycht Grażyna , Zaremba Miłosz
Published: October 2018

Issue of Corrosion of chemical ammunition dumped in Baltic Sea after WW2 is actual because of recent accidents involving contamination of fish, burns of fishermen and uncautious beach – goers by substances released from chemical ammunition show the need of taking counteractions. This poses a question, if extraction of these dangerous cartridges is possible in safe way without unsealing containers and releasing chemical measures into the environment. The aim of this paper is to examine corrosion rate of chemical munitions materials (in mm/year). This rate allows valuation of time period in which chemical containers remain sealed. In addition paper presents analysis of possibility of safe extraction of chemical ammunition without environment contamination.
The Use of a Fuzzy Logic to Eliminate an Error in Measuring the Flight Altitude of the W-3 „Sokół” Helicopter
Authors: Bujak Krystian , Grzesik Norbert , Kuźma Konrad
Published: October 2018

Along with the growing technology, helicopters are equipped with increasingly complex avionics and operational control systems. Such devices use a variety of input signals in order to enhance their performance. Owing to the use of electronic control systems, modern helicopters have a wide range of possibilities, both in terms of manoeuvrability and combat. The article presents a case study of designing equipment control systems on the example of a radio altimeter, which is mounted onboard the W-3 “Sokół” helicopter. The primary assumption was to design a fuzzy controller using FuzzyLogic Toolbox in the Matlab software package that will facilitate similar results, and, above all, will eliminate the altitude measurement error resulting from the bank of a helicopter.

The statistical relation/coherence between ice-regimes of Lake Raduńskie Górne and Lake Ostrzyckie
Authors: Barańczuk Jacek
Published: October 2018

This article is an attempt to analyse and compare several selected parameters regarding ice phenomena using the correlation analysis of two lakes, which are benchmark lakes located in the central part of the Kashubian Lakeland. These lakes are: Raduńskie Górne, a larger one (387.2 hm2) and Ostrzyckie, a smaller one covering an area of 308.0 hm2. The analysis covered measurement sequences for the period 1971–2010. The material for analysis regarding data on ice phenomena on Lake Raduńskie Górne was obtained from the University of Gdańsk Limnological Station in Borucino while the data for Lake Ostrzyckie was obtained from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW). Relations between the following parameters of the ice regime were analysed: duration of the ice phenomena, duration of the ice cover, average and maximum thickness of the ice cover. The analysis and data comparisons have revealed that there are strong and very strong relations between the analysed parameters, which made it possible to develop proper statistical models. Hence, should there be a lack of data on the ice-cover pattern for one of these lakes it is possible to recreate them using the elaborated empirical models and data for the other.
Fabrication and characterization of Zn doped CuO nanofiber using newly designed nanofiber generator for the photodegradation of methylene blue from textile effluent
Authors: Sethuraman Ramasamy Gopalsamy , Venkatachalam Thangamuthu , Kirupha Selvaraj Dinesh
Published: October 2018

High aspect ratio, Zn doped copper oxide (Zn-CuO) nanofibers have been fabricated employing a newly designed electrospun coating unit using copper acetate, sodium hydroxide and polyethylene glycol in aqueous state. The prepared Zn doped copper oxide (Zn-CuO) nanofibers were sintered at 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C separately and characterized using X-ray diffraction XRD, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy SEM, energy dispersive spectroscopy EDS. The average crystallite size was in the range of 28 nm to 30 nm. Optical properties of Zn-CuO nanofibers were analyzed using UV-DRS studies which showed a blue shift in the absorption band. An increase in band gap with the increase in postannealing temperature was observed due to the blue shift in absorption edge of CuO causing enhanced photodegradation. The catalytic properties of the CuO nanofibers were tested using methylene blue in aqueous medium. The influences of parameters responsible for high photodegradation were optimized and the rate of the photodegradation process was calculated using photodegradation kinetics. The reusability test was conducted to find the stability of the fabricated Zn-CuO nanofibers.
Left Ventricular noncompaction in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors: Dobranici Mihaela , Tocitu Anamaria , Delcea Caterina , Dan Gheorghe-Andrei
Published: October 2018

Left ventricular noncompaction is a rare structural cardiomyopathy that can occur isolated or in relationship with other conditions, mainly with musculoskeletal diseases or congenital heart defects. The association of left ventricular noncompaction and connective tissue disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus, was scarcely described in the literature. Reported cases are, more likely, cardiomyopathies mimicking left ventricular noncompaction or transient left ventricular noncompaction with ventricular function improving after appropriate treatment.

We present the case of a 23-year-old woman admitted for cardiac evaluation because of ECG abnormalities observed during a routine check-up. Echocardiography showed severe systolic and diastolic dysfunction, diffuse hypokinesis and hypertrabeculation, suggestive of left ventricular non-compaction. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis. She later presented with specific clinical and biological parameters and was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. Corticosteroid and hydroxychloroquine treatment induced general improvement of signs and symptoms, but no recovery of cardiac function.

Published: October 2018

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common neurologic disorder that is a chronic inflammatory, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Its etiology remains unknown. Several recent studies have found that decreased susceptibility to vitamin D deficiency is also associated with a decreased risk of MS. The role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and its polymorphisms are highlighted as susceptible components. In this study, we aimed to identify the relationship between ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs 1544410), and TaqI (rs731236) gene polymorphisms with MS. ApaI, BsmI, and TaqI genotypes were determined in 70 patients with MS and in 70 control subjects. DNA was isolated from blood samples, and then ApaI, BsmI and TaqI gene polymorphisms were identified using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. The distribution of BsmI and TaqI polymorphisms did not show any significant differences in MS patients and controls; however, increased A allele of ApaI polymorphism was found in MS patients. Our findings suggest that the ApaI gene polymorphism might be associated with MS. Investigation of a larger population and functional work on these gene structures and function in MS patients are recommended.
ELP Teachers as Researchers. On the Benefits of Conducting Needs Analysis
Authors: Łuczak Aleksandra
Published: October 2018

The fact that students’ target language needs (TLN) analysis is conducted for the benefits of the students is obvious. However, in the tertiary level context the TLN analysis is usually neglected and replaced with the use of the ready-made curricula (e.g. corresponding to the content of the course books used or syllabi of the examinations taken at the end of the course).

The question which inspired the research undertaken for this paper was whether, and if so how, the very fact of conducting the TLN analysis affects teachers’ professional development. Namely, whether teachers choose to develop professionally in order to cater for the target, entry level job-related requirements, which may significantly increase students’ employability. Very often that means incorporating extracurricular content and skills into the course syllabus which originally have not been compulsory. Moreover, it may require teachers themselves gaining new knowledge and skills; it may induce professional development.

The paper will draw on interviews conducted among legal English teachers running classes at universities and will research their perception of TLN. It will address the questions how the teachers gain knowledge about their students’ target needs, what they understand by target needs, whether they try to satisfy the target needs which go beyond the studies curriculum and how they as language teachers benefit professionally from that.

La dimensión participativa en el diseño de políticas urbanas. El caso valenciano
Authors: Lloret Gual Pilar , Farinós Dasí Joaquin
Published: November 2018

La aparición y proliferación de iniciativas ciudadanas que tienen como objetivo gestionar de forma distinta los recursos públicos en muchas de las grandes capitales de Europa, hace plantearse en qué estado se encuentran las políticas públicas y sobre todo su gestión. Estamos hablando de una serie de iniciativas surgidas de abajo-arriba que han cambiado la forma tradicional de gestionar la ciudad basada en el tradicional enfoque administrativista de arriba-abajo. Recientemente muchos gobiernos, como consecuencia de estas iniciativas, y de la carencia de recursos y capacidades con los que poder afrontar viejos y nuevos retos, están diseñando nuevas políticas de desarrollo urbano que impliquen más al ciudadano en la gestión y diseño de la ciudad y de su espacio público. Estas «nuevas políticas» pretenden buscar formas alternativas de gestionar los recursos públicos. Es el caso de la consulta ciudadana de inversión por barrios que ha desarrollado el Ayuntamiento de Valencia. Este artículo, a partir del análisis de todas las fases del proceso de consulta ciudadana, hace balance de los problemas de implementación a los que se ha enfrentado y de sus impactos.
El paradigma de las Smart Cities en el marco de la gobernanza urbana
Authors: Romero Tarín Adela
Published: November 2018

Los gobiernos locales a través de las Smart Cities intentan posicionarse ante el reto de la captación de inversión y de una mejora de los servicios públicos. Para conseguir ser más eficiente, participativa, y sostenible, la ciudad deberá transformarse a través del uso de las nuevas tecnologías ofreciendo una mayor calidad de vida para sus habitantes. El concepto de Smart Cities está hoy de moda, por lo que su definición resulta ambigua debido a la pluralidad de enfoques desde los que se analiza el contexto urbano (Holland, 2008). Esta multitud de acepciones del concepto, traducido al español como ciudad inteligente, ha generado tipologías muy variadas y una literatura muy amplia al respecto, que ha ido en aumento durante los últimos años focalizados en estudios sobre la sostenibilidad, el medioambiente, la gobernanza, la movilidad, la vivienda, la multiculturalidad, la energía y la tecnología entre otros, aunque desde una perspectiva más teórica que práctica. El objetivo de este artículo es conocer el paradigma de las Smart Cities en el marco de la gobernanza urbana, entendida esta como “una nueva manera de gobernar (…) un nuevo método según el cual la sociedad es gobernada” (Rhodes, 1996: 652-653), y todo ello a partir de una metodología descriptiva-deductiva aportando una estructura conceptual en sus inicios para ir progresivamente conociendo los hallazgos de la investigación. Así pues, esta propuesta intenta responder a la relación entre la Smart City, también denominada como ciudad inteligente, y la gobernanza urbana ante los retos futuros de la participación, la ética pública, la sostenibilidad, la eficacia y eficiencia, la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas. No debe sorprender que las principales conclusiones de esta investigación no sitúen a la tecnología y derivados, como la gran herramienta o aporte de las ciudades inteligentes, sino más bien, el uso y aplicación que de ellas se hace para mejorar de calidad de vida de sus ciudadanos. No debemos olvidar que la tecnología es un medio para un fin, y la verdadera ciudad inteligente debe hacer un óptimo uso de ella para lograr una buena gobernanza urbana.
“If you can’t fix it you got a stand it”: impossible love stories, identity and masculinity in “the lady with the dog” and “brokeback mountain”
Authors: Gómez Galisteo Carmen
Published: October 2018

Despite their apparent dissimilarities (a nineteenth-century Russian story about an adulterous relationship and a twentieth-century story about gay men in the American West), this essay explores how their common exploration of the theme of impossible happy endings and star-crossed lovers brings Anton Chekhov’s “The Lady with the Dog” and Annie Proulx’s “Brokeback Mountain” together in several aspects. This essay will reveal how in both works, the idea of the individual’s identity is closely linked to masculinity and sexuality. How to be a “proper” man for Dmtri as well as for Ennis and Jack, the protagonists of these respective stories, is crucial to an understanding of who they are and will decisively mark the outcome of their relationships and lives.
FALLACY (SESAT PIKIR) ARGUMENTUM AD VERECUNDIAM DALAM MOTIVERING VONNIS (PERTIMBANGAN HUKUM) / THE ARGUMENTUM AD VERECUNDIAM FALLACY IN MOTIVERING VONIS (LEGAL REASONING)
Authors: Marbun Rocky , Armilius Nfn
Published: October 2018

Munculnya fallacy argumentum ad verecundiam dalam suatu putusan pengadilan merupakan suatu penalaran hukum yang tidak tepat, oleh karena penggunaan otoritas yang tidak dapat dibenarkan berdasarkan Ilmu Hukum, akan berakibat kepada validitas dari amar putusan—yang merupakan konklusi, yang dapat dibatalkan. Sifat pembatalan amar putusan tersebut bukanlah disebabkan karena amar putusannya yang tidak tepat, namun dikarenakan sumber logika yang digunakan adalah tidak tepat.The presence of the argumentum ad verecundiam fallacy in a court decision indicates erroneous legal reasoning, because the use of authority that cannot be justified based on the jurisprudence will affect the validity of the ruling, which is a conclusion of law, in that such ruling can be repealed. The repeal of the ruling is not because the ruling is incorrect, but because the source of the logic used is incorrect.

Dioxins and PCBs in Meat – Still a Matter of Concern?
Authors: Zennegg Markus
Published: October 2018

Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) summarized as dioxins, as well as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic environmental contaminants. Over 95% of human exposure to these problematic chemicals occurs
via the ingestion of fatty rich food like meat and meat products, fatty fish, as well as milk and dairy products. Several major food and feed contamination incidents in Europe during the years 1997 and 2010 revealed the necessity of establishing food and feed monitoring programs for
dioxins and PCBs. Various monitoring programs carried out by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO), suggest that cattle from extensive farming (suckler cow husbandry) exhibited higher levels of dioxin-like PCBs (dl-PCBs) and exceeded
with higher frequency the permitted maximum levels (ML) when compared to conventional raised cattle. The reasons for the higher levels are possibly due to higher levels of PCBs in green fodder (pasture, silage, and hay) when compared to the concentrated feed used in conventional farming. Additionally,
an increased uptake of soil, which is known to be a risk matrix for the uptake of dioxins and PCBs in grazing animals, leads to elevated contaminant levels in the suckler cows and hence their calves. Furthermore, PCB point sources present on a farm from older building and construction materials (e.g. PCB-containing wall paints) might result in very high contamination of the animals and the meat produced from them.

“Q seja absoluto da pena”:
Authors: Fernandes Alécio Nunes
Published: October 2018

No presente texto pretende-se discutir uma afirmação que parece ser usual na historiografia: o direito de defesa na Inquisição portuguesa seria um pro forma jurídico, servindo apenas para legitimar a persecução injusta e arbitrária infligida aos réus daquele Tribunal. Para tanto, as fontes primárias trazidas à discussão são quatro processos da Primeira Visitação ao Brasil, os quais tiveram como sentença a absolvição ou a condenação dos réus a penas que podem ser consideradas brandas pela historiografia especializada. O objetivo é refletir sobre como considerações relativas à defesa dos acusados – necessidade de provas para condenar, circunstâncias atenuantes para a definição das penas, possibilidade de defesa formal, valoração da “qualidade” dos réus – foram decisivas na definição das sentenças prolatadas pelo primeiro visitador, Heitor Furtado de Mendoça.

Experiências ausentes no ensino de História:
Authors: Silva Júnior Astrogildo Fernandes , Montenegro Sousa José Josberto
Published: October 2018

Este texto busca compreender como o ensino de história pode contribuir na formação dos jovens estudantes. Apresenta resultados de um projeto que teve como objetivo analisar o potencial das diferentes fontes e das diferentes linguagens da cultura contemporânea no processo de ensino e aprendizagem em história. Em relação aos procedimentos metodológicos, recorreu à observação de cunho etnográfico, à história oral e à didática da história. O cenário da pesquisa foi uma escola pública estadual da cidade de Ituiutaba, MG, Brasil. Fizeram parte direta da investigação os jovens estudantes do primeiro ano do ensino médio. Concluiu-se que o ensino de história na educação básica precisa reorientar suas práticas, abranger outras perspectivas epistemológicas, que possibilitem discutir a diversidade de experiências histórico-culturais negligenciadas e silenciadas. Nesse processo, os usos de diferentes fontes e linguagens nas aulas de história podem constituir iniciativas para promover articulação entre saberes escolares e a vida prática.
Representação dos negros nos livros didáticos de História do Espírito Santo (1964-1997)
Authors: Bourguignon Leonardo Nascimento
Published: October 2018

Neste artigo analisaremos o papel do livro didático enquanto instrumento de propagação e consolidação de representações, mais especificamente das representações acerca do negro nos livros de história regional. Com esse propósito, após apresentarmos a permanência de uma tendência preconceituosa e estereotipada nos livros didáticos brasileiros nos séculos XIX e XX, optamos por verificar se essas mesmas tendências foram reiteradas nos livros escolares de história do Espírito Santo publicados no período de 1964 até 1997. Com o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, constatamos que, apesar da permanência de uma escrita eurocêntrica, os livros produzidos por autores capixabas apresentaram, em diversos momentos, o negro como agente ativo na história local, mesmo antes da existência de uma legislação que assim os exigisse, e a frente inclusive de uma tendência nacional.
A estrutura mitológica de Macunaíma:
Authors: Manieri Dagmar
Published: October 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo um estudo de Macunaíma de Mário de Andrade nas perspectivas histórica e da análise estrutural de Claude Lévi-Strauss. A obra literária, nessa perspectiva, conjuga uma interpretação mediada pelo mito, bem como o grupo político envolvido com o artista. No Brasil da década de 1920, surge uma espécie de otimismo reformador na elite dos democráticos no Estado de São Paulo. A hipótese deste artigo é que a criação artística de Mário de Andrade pode ser concebida como uma expressão desta elite engajada em uma reforma modernizadora do Brasil.
Traços de Brasilidade:
Authors: Ferrante Roselene De Souza
Published: October 2018

O escultor italiano Pasquale De Chirico (1873-1943) foi responsável por um amplo conjunto de monumentos escultóricos em Salvador, sendo Castro Alves a obra pela qual ele é mais lembrado. Ilustres como Visconde de Cayrú, Padre Manoel da Nobrega, Dom Pedro II e Barão do Rio Branco foram homenageados em praça pública. De modo paralelo à profícua produção da estatuária pública, o artista elaborou um amplo conjunto de representações (gravuras e estátuas) de “tipos humanos”, em especial de afro-brasileiros, vincado na tradição iconográfica das cabeças/faces. Os registros dos tais “tipos negros” realizados por De Chirico podem suscitar fraturas no discurso de grandeza e mitificação do passado valorizado pela elite letrada local, cuja exaltação da herança europeia pautava sua autorrepresentação.
O ENGAJAMENTO ARTÍSTICO E SOCIAL NA OBRA DE VIK MUNIZ:
Authors: Gregio Gustavo Batista , Pelegrini Sandra De Cássia Araujo
Published: October 2018

O artigo discute como os preceitos da Arte Contemporânea influenciaram o brasileiro Vik Muniz, pois os signatários dessa forma de expressão artística repensaram os padrões pictóricos e escultóricos tradicionais de representação visual, introduziram novas técnicas e materiais, além de conferir uma dinâmica diferenciada à linguagem e às relações entre artista e público. Tal proposição toma como referência de estudo, especialmente, a série Pictures of Garbage (2007-2009), concebida no aterro sanitário do Jardim Gramacho (Rio de Janeiro) e retratada no filme documentário Lixo Extraordinário (2010). Por meio dessas obras, Muniz dialoga com questões como a inclusão social e a sustentabilidade, adota diversas linguagens estéticas, além de transformar sujeitos anônimos em personagens de releituras de obras universalmente conhecidas. O artista se projeta no mercado mundial porque, de certa forma, atende as suas demandas, mas rompe com os paradigmas tradicionais de representação estética que, por séculos, predominaram na produção artística.

Truthful volume discount mechanism based on combinatorial double auction
Authors: Yang Zhou , Zhu Junwu , Zhu Zhengnan
Published: October 2018

In the auction market, allocation and pricing will affect participants’ behavior, honesty, and the success of the auction. A proper mechanism will help to achieve higher utility. In a combinatorial double auction, buyers bidding for commodity combinations of different sellers solve the problem of resource allocation in the real market more efficiently. In view of the problem of allocation and pricing of resource such as cloud resource allocation and spectrum auction, this paper designs the TCD4GB mechanism based on the scene of combined double auction, which determines winners, allocates goods and calculates payments. The concept of unit difference is introduced to this paper in order to solve winner determination problem in the group-buying mechanism. The matched sellers who have the minimum cost is directly chosen to be the winning sellers in the process of selecting the winning buyers. The mechanism also calculates payment by using the unit difference of overlapping buyers and apportion it to the matching sellers through the idea of second-price in VCG mechanism. This mechanism avoids the higher utility of buyers when they report falsely. Through theoretical and simulation experiments, it is proved that the TCD4GB mechanism satisfies the economic attributes of individual rationality and budget balance.
Adapting the Predator-Prey Game Theoretic Environment to Army Tactical Edge Scenarios with Computational Multiagent Systems
Authors: Asher Derrik , Barton Sean , Zaroukian Erin
Published: October 2018

The historical origins of the game theoretic predator-prey pursuit problem can be traced back to Benda, et al., 1985 [1]. Their work adapted the predator-prey ecology problem into a pursuit environment focused on the dynamics of cooperative behavior between predator agents. Modifications to the predator-prey ecology problem [2] have been implemented to understand how variations to predator [3, 4] and prey [5] attributes, including communication [6], can modify dynamic interactions between entities that emerge within that environment [7, 8]. Furthermore, the predator-prey pursuit environment has become a testbed for simulation experiments with computational multiagent systems [9 – 11]. This article theoretically extends previous work by providing 1) additional variations to predator and prey attributes for simulated multiagent systems in the pursuit problem, and 2) military-relevant predator-prey environments simulating highly dynamic tactical edge scenarios that Soldiers might encounter on future battlefields. Through this exploration of simulated tactical edge scenarios with computational multiagent systems, Soldiers will have a greater chance to achieve overmatch on the battlefields of tomorrow.
Passing Down Cultural Design Heritage Through Craft Objects of Memoir
Authors: HASOGLU Rezzan , ARTUT Selçuk
Published: October 2018

Passing a skill (technē) learned from a master is carried across generations; therefore, a crafted object would also be considered a transitive element of a cultural heritance. Like the praxis of technology, skill is not an innate phenomenon but instead something artificial, made by humans. Crafted objects leave their marks in history by transferring tangible records of cultural heritage to the future, carrying traces of civilization of the period in which they exist. Investigating objects, which are produced in these terms as art and design objects within the diverse socio-cultural dimension, would take a critical place in clarifying many contemporary fundamental views. This article explores the meaning and the process of design, artisanship and cultural influences on these concepts through reciting the story of Çeşm-i Bülbül glass, which has been a significant object at the Ottoman banquets. Using this design object as an example, the article questions the meaning of design and the transformation process of ‘becoming a meaningful object’ through references from Heidegger’s ‘The Question Concerning Technology’ and Borgmann’s article ‘Focal Things and Practices’.
Sinop Balatlar Yapı Topluluğu’nda Ortaya Çıkarılan Avrupa Seramiklerinin Batı Karadeniz Ticaret Ağı İçerisindeki Yeri
Authors: GÖK İPEKÇİOĞLU Sevinç
Published: October 2018

Antik çağlardan itibaren yerleşimin sürdüğü Sinop, önemli liman kentlerinden biridir. Sinop’un merkezinde, Balatlar Yapı Topluluğu olarak adlandırılan alanda, Prof. Dr. Gülgün Köroğlu başkanlığında gerçekleştirilen kazılarda elde edilen buluntular, sanat tarihi açısından önemli veriler sunmaktadır. Sinop Balatlar Yapı Topluluğu kazılarında ortaya çıkarılan seramik buluntular, hamur, form ve desen özelliklerinin yanı sıra çeşitliliğiyle de dikkat çekicidir. Kazılarda, 14. yüzyıldan başlayarak günümüze değin uzun bir süreçte üretilmiş ve kullanılmış Osmanlı dönemi seramikleri ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Aynı zamanda Avrupa’dan ithal örnekler de önemli bir yoğunluktadır. Bu örneklerin bir bölümü, Smyrna (İzmir) Agora’sı buluntularıyla benzerlik gösterir. Sinop’ta bulunan ithal seramikler içerisinde İngiliz ve Fransız örneklerinin dikkate değer çoğunlukta olduğu gözlenmektedir. Ayrıca, İtalya’da çokça üretimi olan ancak aynı zamanda Avrupa’nın birçok kentinde de üretildiğini bildiğimiz Albisola seramikleri olarak adlandırılan Taches Noires (siyah lekeli) seramikleri ele geçmiştir. Ancak, özellikle İtalyan mayolika örneklerinin olmaması şaşırtıcı, düşündürücü ve tartışmaya açık bir konudur. Bu nedenle, 13. yüzyıldan itibaren Karadeniz ticaretinde etkin olan Ceneviz ve Venedik kent devletlerine ait arkeolojik verilerin neden olmadığı konusu tartışılmış ve çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Çalışmamızda ayrıca, Sinop Balatlar Yapı Topluluğu kazılarında bulunan Avrupa’dan ithal seramiklerin genel özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesinin yanı sıra Sinop’un Karadeniz ticaret ağı içerisindeki önemi üzerinde de durulmuştur.

Published: November 2018

Bireyleri
ve toplumları yönlendirmek amacıyla geçmişten günümüze sıkça başvurulan bir
yöntem olan dezenformasyon sosyal medyanın yaygın olarak hayatımıza girmesiyle
farklı bir boyuta taşınmıştır. Bilginin üretilmesinde ve yayılmasında önemli
bir işleve sahip internet ve yeni medya mecralarının denetimiz ve anonim
paylaşımlara olanak veren yapısı sebebiyle bilgi kirliliği ve çarpıtılmış
haberler had safhaya ulaşmış durumdadır. Yanlış bilgilerin gerçeklerden daha
hızlı yayıldığı çevrimiçi mecralarda kullanıcıların bilginin doğruluğunu ya da
yanlışlığını öğrenmesi gitgide daha da zorlaşmaktadır. Bu noktada yalan ve yanlış
paylaşımların önüne geçilemediği internet ortamında doğrulama platformlarının
önemi giderek artmaktadır.

Özellikle
siyasal alanda önemli bir iletişim mecrası haline gelen sosyal medya siyasal
aktörlerin ve partilerin aleyhine yapılan dezenformasyonun da temel kaynağı
olmuştur. Siyasi aktörler ve partiler hedef alınarak yapılan dezenformasyonlar
özellikle seçim dönemlerinde daha da artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 24 Haziran 2018
tarihi için alınan erken seçim kararı sonrasında siyasi dezenformasyon aracı
olarak kullanılan sosyal medya paylaşımları, doğrulama platformu olan teyit.org
üzerinden incelenmiş ve bu tür enformasyonların önlenmesinde doğrulama
platformlarının işlevi irdelenmiştir.
