Geç Orta Çağ Bizans Savunma Yapılarında Ahşap Hatıl Kullanımı Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: BİLGİN Ali Riza
Published: January 2022

Mimaride ahşap, erken dönemlerden itibaren önemli bir yapı elemanı olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Doğrudan ahşap kullanılarak inşa edilen yapılar dışındaki kâgir yapılarda; ikinci kat döşemelerinde, merdivenlerde, düşey taşıyıcılarda ve doğrudan duvar içerisinde kullanımı söz konusudur. Bu çalışma kapsamında Anadolu’da Orta Çağ’da inşa edilmiş Bizans dönemine tarihlenen savunma yapılarında, kâgir duvar örgüsü içerisinde ahşabın yapı malzemesi olarak kullanımı değerlendirilmiştir. Duvar içerisinde ahşap hatılların tespiti, nitelikleri itibariyle zordur. Dolayısıyla daha önceden yapılmış çalışmalardan yola çıkarak yapının türü fark etmeksizin kullanım alanlarına yönelik olarak örnekler tarih öncesi yapılardan başlayarak ele alınmıştır. Özellikle 12. ve 13. yüzyıllarda inşa edilmiş, karakol mahiyetindeki küçük ölçekli kalelerde duvar içerisinde bağlayıcı unsur olarak genellikle ahşabın tercih edildiği görülmektedir. Burada tartışılacak olan konunun çıkış noktasını, İzmir’in Belevi beldesi yakınındaki Galesion (Alaman) dağı üzerinde konumlanan Keçi Kalesi oluşturmaktadır. Kalede kullanılan ahşap malzeme yapının bazı kesimlerinde, şaşırtıcı bir biçimde, sağlam bir şekilde günümüze ulaşmıştır. Ayrıca makalede, yapıların duvarları üzerinde görülen ve birçok çalışmada iskele deliği olarak adlandırılan boşlukların mahiyeti de değerlendirilmiştir.

Authors: KAMER AKSOY Özgür , ACAR Cengiz
Published: January 2022

Günümüzde kent insanı, boş zamanının elverdiği ölçüde uzun tatillerini farklı mekanlarda geçirmek istemekte ve bu da turistik mekanların turizm türlerinin çeşitlenmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu sebeple ortaya çıkan alternatif turizm arayışları sadece turizm türleri bağlamında değil, ziyaret edilecek yerin sahip olduğu doğal ve kültürel özellikler bağlamında da çeşitlenmektedir. Alternatif turizm arayışlarının bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan ekolojik temelli turizm doğal ve kültürel değerlere göre şekillenen ve bu değerlerin sürdürebilirliğine olanak tanıyan turizm anlayışının geliştirilmesine olanak tanımaktır. Bu çalışmada Ordu Perşembe-Fatsa kıyı kesimi örneğinde ekolojik temelli turizm olanakları ele alınmış ve çalışma alanın sahip olduğu doğal ve kültürel peyzaj değerleri incelenmiştir. Yerinde gözlem ve inceleme yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilen çalışmada alanın sahip olduğu ekolojik turizm potansiyeli değerlendirilmiştir.

Turizmin, ister ulusal düzeyde ister yerel düzeyde olsun, ekonomik ve sosyal açıdan fayda sağlamanın ötesinde doğal çevrenin, kültürel mirasın korunmasında, sürdürülebilir turizm anlayışına katkı sağlamada, bir yörenin, bölgenin ve hatta ülkenin tanıtımında önemli katkıları bulunmaktadır. Kırsal turizmin çeşitlendirilmesi bağlamında kırsal yerleşimler, farklı iklim tiplerinin ve topoğrafik şartların etkili olduğu geleneksel sivil mimari örnekleri sergilemeleri yanında sosyal ve ekonomik yapının biçimlendirdiği dış mekan kullanımlarına ve farklı yapılanmalara sahiptir. Köylerin sahip olduğu tüm bu özellikler doğrultusunda bu bölgelerin çevreleriyle birlikte kırsal turizm için konu teşkil etmesi, köye, köyün yer aldığı bölgeye ülkeye ve hatta ekonomisine çok yönlü (sosyal, ekonomik, ekolojik ve korumacı yaklaşımlar) katkıları vardır. Bu çalışmada, Kızılırmak Deltası’nda ve Tarihi İpek Yolu üzerinde yer almakta olan Köprüköy ile ilgili elde edilen doğal ve kültürel kaynak değerleri paralelinde köy ve yakın çevresi için turizm için veri olabilecek ve kırsal turizm geliştirilmesinde çok önemli girdiler sağlayacak olan kırsal yerleşmelerin turizm potansiyeli değerlendirilecektir.

The Transmittal-Characteristic Function of Three-Interval Periodic Sturm-Liouville Problem with Transmission Conditions
Authors: AYDEMİR Kadriye , MUKHTAROV Oktay
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we study the periodic Sturm-Liouville problem, defined on three non-intersecting intervals with four supplementary conditions which are imposed at two internal points of interaction, the so-called
transmission conditions. We first prove that the eigenvalues are real and the system of eigenfunctions is an orthogonal system. Secondly, some auxiliary initial-value problems are defined and transmittal-characteristic function is constructed in terms of solutions of these initial-value problems. Finally, we
establish that the eigenvalues of the considered problem are the zeros of the transmittal-characteristic function.

The Relations Between Transylvanian Saxons and Baltic Germans During the 1920s
Authors: Ciobanu Vasile
Published: January 2022

The relationship between the Saxons and the German Balts has been already investigated, but the available archival material, however, allows me to deepen the problem of cultural relations between the two German minorities. This relationship has taken both an institutional and a personal form. The first form involved cooperation between clubs, societies and editors of publications, while the second consisted of direct contact between cultured people. The two kinds of cooperation have created in the 1920s a network of mental relations based on the solidarity of all Germans living abroad. A special contribution in the establishment of these relations was brought forth by the Cultural Office of the Germans in Greater Romania, founded in 1922 in Sibiu by Richard Csaki, and by the “Ostland” magazine, which was also published in Sibiu starting with 1926. Csaki and others worked in the field of cultural policy together with representatives of the German Balts such as Ewal Ammende, Werner Hasselblatt, Axel de Vries or Max von Ravick. This article investigates these bonds as part of the wider frame of German cultural networks operating in-between the Baltic and the Black sea.
Danish Perceptions of Interwar Romania
Authors: Lăculiceanu Popescu Oana
Published: January 2022

In the interwar period, Romania andDenmarkwere two distant countries, which were separated by great cultural, social,political and economic differences and which had just begun to discover eachother. Their diplomatic relations were established in 1917, when a Romanianenvoy was appointed to Copenhagen whereas thefirst Danish minister was appointed to Bucharestin 1924. The establishment of the diplomatic offices in the two capitals led toa strengthening of bilateral Danish-Romanian relations. The two people startedto know each other`s cultural, social and political patterns. In this article Ilook at the representations generated by Romanians in the Danish conscience,which I assume is interesting for the study of Romania's bilateral relationswith the peoples from this part of Europe. The Danish image of the Romanianspace during the first half of the 20th century is characterized by a series ofprejudices and stereotypes formed along time because of a scanty knowledgeabout the realities in this space.
Introduction
Authors: Jarmolenko Vladimir
Published: January 2022

Lithuania and Romanian lands entered into relations, according to the existing data, since Middle Ages. During that period both states were interested in strengthening their power, in self-determination and in increasing their influence in Europe. Since the 14th century there was a strong influence of the Great Duchy of Lithuania and latter on of the Lithuanian – Polish Union over Moldova. In the second half of the 15th century there were signed treaties between Stefan the Great, head of Moldova, and Cazimir IV, the Great Duke of Lithuania.
After a long period of events, our nations restarted to have diplomatic relations, in the context of a newly declared independent Lithuania (1918). Relations were not simple and transparent and the dialogue remained rather occasional. It was a difficult period for both states, as it was for many other European nations. Both countries started to be diplomatically represented, even if that was done from Prague for Lithuania, by Dovas Zaunis since 1924 and later on, since 1935 until the Soviet occupation, by Edvardas Turauskas, and from Riga in case of Romania, by Constantin Valimarescu, starting with 1935.
Sweden and the Jacobite movement (1715-1718)
Authors: Coroban Costel
Published: January 2022

During the second decade of the century of the Enlightenment, a short interesting episode occurred between the Kingdoms of Britain, Sweden and the Russian Empire. In the context of Sweden’s downfall as an imperial power, Charles XII, after the return from his stay in the Ottoman Empire, instructed his minister, Görtz, to surreptitiously journey to the Netherlands in search of finances. The purpose was to revitalize what was left of Sweden’s maritime power. The only ones interested in funding Charles XII’s fleet were the Jacobites. They were those English, Scots, Irish and Welsh who were still loyal to the dynasty of James II Stuart of England, exiled during the Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689. James II having died in 1701, they now gathered around his son, Francis Edward Stuart (the Old Pretender). In 1715-1716, the Pretender attempted to invade Britain in order to prevent the succession of George I of Hanover, but failed. Through the Swedish envoys in London and Paris (Gyllenborg and Sparre, respectively), Görtz tried to obtain an agreement from the Jacobites that money would be secretly loaned to Charles XII in exchange for Sweden helping a new Jacobite invasion. British counterintelligence was well aware of these negotiations. Eventually the government of George I arrested Gyllenborg, furthermore publishing his documents. This was done in the hope of internationally isolating Sweden, as the British Hanoverian monarch feared a Russian-Swedish-Jacobite alliance. The topic cannot be fully understood without taking in consideration the position of the Russian Empire, so a section of the article is also dedicated to the role played by Russia in this affair.
Aspects of the Eastern Question found in Swedish diplomatic reports (1813)
Authors: Ciobanu Veniamin
Published: January 2022

The documents selected by the editor from the National Archives of Sweden offer information reflecting the preoccupation of the Swedish diplomacy to be well informed with regard to the Eastern Question developments. In 1813 such information was necessary in order to guide the Swedish government’s policy in reaching its essential goal, the integration of Norway in the Swedish political system. In order to have a broader perspective on the international events and circumstances of the period marking the end of the Napoleonean Empire is necessary that these documents shall be corroborated with other documentary sources, such as, for instance, the ones included in the seventh volume of the foreign policy documents collection entitled “Europe and the Porte. New Documents on the Eastern Question”. Résumé: Les documents sélectés par l’éditeur des Archives Nationales de la Suède offrent des informations qui reflètent la préoccupation de la diplomatie suédoise d’être bien informée sur le cours du développement de la question orientale. Pendant l’année 1813 ces informations ont été nécessaires pour l’orientation de la politique du Cabinet de Stockholm en vue d’accomplir son but essentiel d’alors, c’est-à-dire l’intégration de la Norvège dans le système politique suédois. Mais pour avoir une perspective plus large sur les événements et les circonstances politiques internationales de la période qui a marqué la fin de l’Empire Napoléonien il est nécessaire que ces documents soient corroborés avec d’autre sources documentaires, comme par exemple celles incorporées dans le tome VII de la Collection de documents extérieurs intitulée „Europe and the Porte. New Documents on the Eastern Question”.
Forging a Socialist Homeland from Multiple Worlds: North American Finns in Soviet Karelia 1921-1938
Authors: Lam Kitty
Published: January 2022

In the early 1930s, the Soviet Union recruited an estimated 6,000 Finns from North America to augment the number of skilled workers in the recently established Karelian Autonomous Republic. Using migrants' letters and memoirs held at the Immigration History Research Center, this essay examines how these North American Finns adapted and responded to fluctuating policies in the Soviet Union that originally flaunted the foreign workers as leaders in the Soviet modernization drive and as the vanguard for exporting revolution, but eventually condemned them as an enemy nation to be expunged. It also analyzes the extent to which these immigrants internalized 'building socialism' as part of their encounter with Soviet Karelia. Such an exploration requires assessing how these settlers’ ideological adaptation affected their experiences. This paper argues that by placing the North American Finns’ experience in the wider context of Soviet state building policies, these migrants’ identity formation involved participation in, avoidance of, and opposition to the terms of daily life that emerged within the purview of building socialism.
From “allies without alliance” to concerted action: Romania and Finland in the aftermath of the Operation Barbarossa (1941)
Authors: Miloiu Silviu-Marian
Published: January 2022

This study describes the relationship between two small and lesser states joining the German attack against Soviet Union in an attempt to recapture the territories lost to Soviet Union in 1940. It is conceived as an in-depth analysis of the Romanian-Finnish relations based on the criticism of archival sources discovered in the Romanian, Finnish and British archives. Becoming “allies without alliance” almost overnight, the relations between the two countries acknowledged a quick shift from low profile bonds to an agreement based on a combination of balance of power and joint action. The aim was to remove the threat Russia was posing to the two countries and to increase their influence at a peace conference to be open following the expected defeat of their big neighbour. Romania was the advocate of closer ties between the two countries keeping in line with its search for influence rather than autonomy in its foreign relations, while Finland was more prudent consistent with its choice for autonomy rather than influence.
Wallachian Settlers in the Baltic Sea Region. A Humanist Tale of Migration and Colonization, and its Implications for the Mental Maps of Early Modern
Authors: Donecker Stefan
Published: January 2022

During the 1550s, humanists at the University of Wittenberg in Germany first suggested that Wallachians from present-day Romania had migrated to the Baltic Sea, settled in Livonia and became the ancestors of Estonians and Latvians. This colonization allegedly took place at some time in the 5th or 6th century AD. Although such a theory seems bizarre from a modern point of view, it was considered a perfectly reasonable hypothesis by contemporary scholars. For approximately 150 years, up to the early 18th century, the idea of a Wallachian colonization of Livonia retained its place in the historiography of the region, before it was refuted by the more sober-minded approach of enlightenment historians. The paper provides an overview of the scholarly theories on a kinship between Wallachians, Estonians and Latvians that were formulated between 1550 and 1700. Although these fanciful hypotheses are not supported by any discernible historical facts, they provide important insights on the position of Wallachia and Livonia in the symbolic geography and the mental maps of the early modern res publica litterarum.
Data pertaining to the outbreak of the Lithuanian insurrection (25 March 1831), retrieved from Swedish diplomatic sources
Authors: Ciobanu Veniamin
Published: January 2022

Similarly to the Polish insurrection of November 1830, the Lithuanian one, occurring in March 1831, retained the attention of the Swedish diplomacy from the very beginning. This was made possible, in the first place, by the fact that the events were connected by a strong link of causality, in the sense that they aimed at severing Poland and Lithuania from the political-institutional system of the Russian Empire and at reconstituting the old one, i.e. the Polish-Lithuanian Union. But the latter’s victory would have first resulted in the radical upheaval of the ratio of forces in North-Eastern Europe, which could have also affected the Swedish-Norwegian political-institutional system, since it was assumed that the Norwegians would not have spared any time in following the Lithuanian and Polish example by denouncing the personal union with Sweden. Moreover, the revolutionary wave sweeping over Europe in 1830 was not one to avoid Sweden. Unlike other areas, the Swedes that opposed King Karol XIV Jan’s government went no further than to criticise it, despite the fact that both the criticism and the programme of the opposition kept increasing in boldness. The Swedish diplomacy therefore approached the issue of the Polish and Lithuanian insurrections from the same perspective, taking particular care to observe their evolution, placing itself in a position of reserveless condemnation of such behaviour. The documents transcribed in the following pages are the diplomatic reports of N. Fr. Palmstjerna, the chargé d’affaires of Sweden in Petersburg, and were selected from the Sveriges Riksarkivet, Kabinettet/UD Huvudarkivet, E2D, 702, the Petersburg fund, 1821, Jan.-iuni. They sometimes contain very detailed information pertaining to the early phase of the Lithuanian insurrection. By introducing them to the academic circuit, we express our hope that they will contribute to the expansion of the research horizon of the history of North-Eastern Europe from the first half of the 19th century.
Kišinev or Linkuva? Rumors and threats against Jews in Lithuania in 1903
Authors: Richter Klaus
Published: January 2022

Over Easter 1903, a large-scale anti-Jewish riot in Kišinev, capital of the Russian governorate of Bessarabia, left dozens of Jews dead and hundreds injured, thus leading to a massive wave of emigration. A product of social discontent and anti-Semitic agitation, the riots of Kišinev became notoriously famous as the onset of a wave of pogroms of hitherto unprecedented brutality, which only subsided after the end of the Russian Revolution of 1905/06. This article analyzes the incidents by emphasizing cultural transfers between Kišinev and Lithuania, using the histoire croisée approach in order to provide for the different ethnic, social and political backgrounds and motivations of the actors. It also compares the disturbances in the rural north of Lithuania and in the Bessarabian industrial city of Kišinev in order to contextualize anti-Jewish violence in Lithuania on the larger scale of the Russian pogroms. When Lithuanian Jews were sometimes threatened to be killed “as in Kišinev” and at other times to be treated “as in Linkuva”, the significance of analyzing cultural transfer while keeping the regional context in mind becomes apparent.
Romanians and the Nobel Prizes for Science and Literature
Authors: Sirbu-Jakobsen Vasilica
Published: January 2022

There is much to be said about the Nobel Prizes. Numerous pages are written each year to promote, describe, analyze and criticize the prizes, their initiator and their evolution since 1901. The purpose of this study is to bring back to light from the dust of the archives information about those Romanians who were ahead of their times through their outstanding thinking and understanding of the world. Little has been written about those nominated, since it has been considered more relevant to focus on the winners. There were plentiful creative minds who only needed an opportunity to be known to the world. Famous Romanian names show up from the archives and the nomination database provided by the Nobel Institution and enable us to get a broad perspective of the nominators and the nominees. Ironically, as in the case of the Nobel Peace Prize, most of those who genuinely had a chance to win were never nominated.
Mafia links between the Balkans and Scandinavia. State of affairs
Authors: Albertini Matteo
Published: January 2022

The last twenty years has seen an increasing presence of Balkan organized crime groups in security reports and newspapers’ headlines. This does not mean that mafia groups did not exist during Socialist Yugoslavia – even if its collapse and the following war made criminals and smugglers useful for politicians and leaders to maintain their power; it rather means that Balkan organized crime came outside its traditional areas of action in Serbia, Montenegro and Albania: less territorial and nationalist than it was before, it is now gaining prominence in an international scenario, making agreements with Italian and South American mafias – the so-called Holy Alliance – to manage drug routes towards Western Europe. One of the most interesting factors concerning Balkan mafia groups today is their presence in countries which traditionally do not have a history of organized crime, such as the Scandinavian states. One of the reasons lies in the wide percentage of immigrants moving from Balkan countries to Sweden or Norway. Since the wars of the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia, war-crimes fugitives were able to become common criminals in these countries, such as the infamous Želiko Raznjatović (“Arkan”). However, year by year, these gangs grew larger, taking advantage of the “expertise” and the resources gained during the war. In particular, the most spectacular case – the Våstberga helicopter robbery in 2009 – showed how these groups operate with military-style precision, utilize a wide number of participants, and have at their disposal laerge amounts of weapons and money. This paper will draw on the importance of Scandinavian – Balkan mafia relations in relation to three main criminal areas: drug and weapon smuggling and human trafficking, in order to underline the role of diasporas in enforcing organized crime groups and the extent to which these mafias could be a threat for the stability in both Eastern and Western Europe.
A Southeastern “other” with diverse challenges. Romania in Finnish schoolbooks
Authors: Alenius Kari
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyze what sorts of image Finnish schoolbooks have provided of Romania and why this image has been a certain kind. The analysis focuses on the key features of this image and the most pertinent factors that could explain it. It is apparent that the basic nature of this image has largely remained the same from generation to generation. The time period of the study begins with the birth of the modern Finnish school system to the modern day, or from the 1860s to the 2000s. Representations of foreign countries and other cultures in Finnish schoolbooks have been studied to some extent, but the image of Romania as part of this subject matter has so far been unexplored.
The content of Finnish schoolbooks reflects the view of Romania of those who created them, as well as their attitude towards the outside world and diversity. Although there are many permanent elements in these images, there are also changes in emphasis and tone. Based on the changes found in this analysis, development can be divided into four successive stages. The first period includes the last decades of the 1800s until approximately the end of the First World War. The second period extends from the early years of the 1920s to the 1950s. The third period extends from the 1960s to the 1980s and the fourth includes the last two decades.
Baltic Sea regional integration: water protection, university co-operation – and agriculture?
Authors: Ewert Stefan
Published: January 2022

Research on Baltic Sea region building processes emphasizes the discursive elements of the emergence of the region in the beginning of the 1990s, yet lacks the analysis of policy-specific developments of regional integration around the Baltic Sea. My article argues that the neo-functionalist approach opens useful insights in order to understand these developments. Starting from marine environment protection as a nucleus of regional integration, I demonstrate spill-over effects to the field of education policy and higher education co-operation in the Baltic Sea Region. Following this, I analyze why there are no spill-over effects to the adjacent policy area of agriculture up to now.
Address at the Fourth International Conference on Baltic and Nordic studies in Romania: empire-building and region-building in the Baltic, North and Black Sea areas
Authors: Väistö Ulla
Published: January 2022

The longest standing formal cooperation across the Baltic Sea is the Nordic Cooperation. It is composed of five countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland plus the three autonomous territories Faroe Islands, Greenland and Aland. We are approximately 25 million people, as a region among the 10 biggest economies globally, and with 8 official languages.
Cooperation between the Nordic countries is one of the most comprehensive regional partnerships found anywhere in the world. It is based on common values and the will to generate dynamic development in a sustainable manner. “United, but not uniform” is the essence of Nordic philosophy. Ours is a region where people can move freely, live under equal conditions and enjoy equal rights.
Our inter-parliamentary body Nordic Council was created already in 1952 and our inter-governmental body Nordic Council of Ministers in 1971. The essence of their work is to create synergies that benefit the region’s citizens. Let us mention some very important Nordic milestones: Passport union in 1957, Agreement on fully integrated labour market in 1983, Nordic language convention in 1987, Nordic social convention in 1994 and free access to higher education in 1997. The Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers rotates on a one-year basis, drawing up a cooperation programme. The Council has also international cooperation, in particular with geographically close-by partners.
The Sea as Site of Memory: The Danish Sound and the Dardanelles in Comparison
Authors: North Michael
Published: January 2022

This paper introduces the concept of the sea as lieu de mémoire into maritime history. Pierre Nora has developed his „Lieux de mémoire” in France. According to Nora „a lieu de mémoire is any significant entity, whether material or non-material in nature […] which has become a symbolic element of the memorial heritage of any community”. Nora thus highlights symbolic values, hitherto often separated from historical sciences and reduced to historical narratives. In my paper I shall focus on shared memories, divided memories and entangled histories, but especially shared sites of memory. These – material or immaterial – „lieux de mémoire divisés” constitute symbolic intersections between cultures, spaces and times. They simultaneously affect not only the neighbouring countries and the national cultures of memory, but also societies and ethnic or religious groups. In two comparative case studies on the straits of the Sound (Oresund) and Dardanelles I shall try to test the application of the concept with respect to the various memories of the seafaring nations and ethnic communities, settling at the entrance of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea.
The reception of Knut Hamsun in Romania in the period 1919-1926
Authors: Lăţug Diana
Published: January 2022

The present paper presents the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun as he has been perceived in the Romanian literary and cultural frame between 1919-1926. Such a work intends to do research upon relevant articles written in this period. His positioning as a well-established predecessor within the modernist European literary framing is empowered by biographical information to be found in abundance in a wide range of literary specialized magazines. Among them, „Adevărul Literar şi Artistic”, „Sburătorul Literar”, „Viaţa Literară”, or „Viaţa Românescă”. The work is structured on a chronological overview of his reception in the Romanian culture from the interwar period. The novels whose reviews were shortly mentioned are “Pan”, “Victoria” and ‘Hunger”. The translators are also to be mentioned, given the fact that they are outstanding figures for the Romanian culture. The biographical details concern his winning of the Nobel Prize in 1920, and how this was perceived by the Romanian literary critics. More precisely, if there is any shift in the perception of the author before and after the Nobel award.
Иновациите във висшето образование и ролята на регионалните университети
Authors: Белоев Христо
Published: January 2022

Разбирането за иновации и тяхното дефиниране се разглежда в научната литература още от средата на миналия век и в зависимост от сферата на интерпретация търпи различни трактовки, които често са твърде размити или неясни. Независимо обаче от изследователското поле, в което са поставени, иновациите винаги се обвързват дефинитивно с промяна, развитие, внедряване на нов или значително подобрен процес, продукт или услуга1). Към това разбиране част от изследователите добавят и процесите на същинската експлоатация и комерсиализация на иновациите (Dewangan & Godse 2014). Настоящата публикация няма за цел да изследва в дълбочина дефинитивните и процесуални аспекти на различните видове иновации, нито да ги класифицира. Тя се фокусира върху стратегическото разбиране на иновацията в неговата обвързаност със системата на висшето образование (Aghion 2008) и ролята ѝ в интелигентното, свободно, пазарно ориентирано, устойчиво и ресурсно отговорно развитие на регионите. Като основни изследователски методи са използвани анализът на литературни източници, сравнителен анализ на данни от вторични източници на информация и анализ на случай от практиката, базиран на практиката на Русенския университет „Ангел Кънчев“ през последните 10 години.

A Critical Analysis of Biomedical Image Classification on Deep Learning

In computer-aided diagnostic technologies, deep convolutional neural image compression classifications are a crucial method. Conventional methods rely primarily on form, colouring, or feature descriptors, and also their configurations, the majority of which would be problem-specific that has been depicted to be supplementary in image data, resulting in a framework that cannot symbolize high problem entities and has poor prototype generalization capability. Emerging Deep Learning (DL) techniques have made it possible to build an end-to-end model, which could potentially general the last detection framework from the raw clinical image dataset. DL methods, on the other hand, suffer from the high computing constraints and costs in analytical modelling and streams owing to the increased mode of accuracy of clinical images and minimal sizes of data. To effectively mitigate these concerns, we provide a techniques and paradigm for DL that blends high-level characteristics generated from a deep network with some classical features in this research. The following stages are involved in constructing the suggested model: Firstly, we supervisedly train a DL model as a coding system, and as a consequence, it could convert raw pixels of medical images into feature extraction, which possibly reflect high-level ideologies for image categorization. Secondly, using image data background information, we derive a collection of conventional characteristics. Lastly, to combine the multiple feature groups produced during the first and second phases, we develop an appropriate method based on deep neural networks. Reference medical imaging datasets are used to assess the suggested method. We get total categorization reliability of 90.1 percent and 90.2 percent, which is greater than existing effective approaches.
A Survey of Multi-Modal Image Fusion Methodologies
Authors: Saraswat Ram
Published: January 2022

Digital image fusion has advanced significantly in governments and civil domains since its introduction in the late 1980s, certainly image fusion of infrared light, materials characterization, remote sensing data fusion, visions segmentation techniques, and brain tumor detection fusion. In medical diagnostics, imaging technology is critical. Because single medical pictures cannot match the demands of diagnostic techniques, which necessitate a huge quantity of data, image fusion study has become a hot subject. Single-mode integration and multi - modal fusion is the two types of medical image processing. Due to the limitations of single-modal fusion's data, many scientists are investigating multidimensional fusion. Brain tumor detection fusion represents the operations of integrating multiple images from imaging modality to formulate fused images with larger volume of data, allowing medical images to be more clinically useful. In this article, we focus on providing a survey of multi-modal image fusion approaches with central focus on novel developments in the domain based on the present fusion approaches, incorporating deep learning fusion approaches. Lastly, this concludes that contemporary multi-modal image fusion study findings are significantly fundamental, and the development trends is on the increase, however there are several hurdles in the study area.

Published: January 2022

The need for high-performance Data Mining (DM) algorithms is being driven by the exponentially increasing data availability such as images, audio and video from a variety of domains, including social networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). Deep learning is an emerging field of pattern recognition and Machine Learning (ML) study right now. It offers computer simulations of numerous nonlinear processing layers of neurons that may be used to learn and interpret data at higher degrees of abstractions. Deep learning models, which may be used in cloud technology and huge computational systems, can inherently capture complex structures of large data sets. Heterogeneousness is one of the most prominent characteristics of large data sets, and Heterogeneous Computing (HC) causes issues with system integration and Advanced Analytics. This article presents HC processing techniques, Big Data Analytics (BDA), large dataset instruments, and some classic ML and DM methodologies. The use of deep learning to Data Analytics is investigated. The benefits of integrating BDA, deep learning, HPC (High Performance Computing), and HC are highlighted. Data Analytics and coping with a wide range of data are discussed.

With a central focus on the research question: “What must be done to encourage people to become more E+STEM educated?” this research is based on a Systematic review on ecological knowledge, which is linked to teachers' career growth as well as Environmental Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (E+STEM) pedagogy. The aim is to identify what instructors must do to improve their experience and credentials as E+STEM-educated people in light of expert views. To disclose expert views, a "mixed method" research approach is utilized in this study, which includes both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The technique employed is exploratory study sequencing, which is a kind of mixed-method study. The Delphi study's initial stage is to gather qualitative data on teachers' professional growth. The quantitative methodology is featured for the phase two of the Delphi research once the data has been analyzed in the first step. Lastly, the ultimate quantitative formulation (third phase) is produced following the data evaluation in the second phase.

O objetivo foi avaliar a qualidade estrutural do solo após corte florestal com harvester de pneus e escavadeira hidráulica adaptada em LATOSSOLO VERMELHO distrófico típico. O experimento foi delineado de forma inteiramente casualizada com instalação de quatro unidades amostrais com três pontos de repetição. Além disso, foram coletadas amostras de solo na trilha de tráfego dos rodados da máquina nas camadas de 0 a 0,10; 0,11 a 0,20; 0,21 a 0,30; e 0,31 a 0,40 m de profundidade para determinação dos parâmetros de densidade e porosidade total e, também, foi mensurada a resistência do solo à penetração na trilha dos rodados e entre rodados. Dessa forma, foi possível determinar que a densidade e a porosidade total média antes do tráfego das máquinas foram de 1,10 g cm-3 e 53,85%, respectivamente, ocorrendo efeitos significativos nessas variáveis após o tráfego do harvester de pneus em todas as camadas avaliadas. Quanto a resistência do solo à penetração, verificou-se que houve aumento significativo na trilha dos rodados do harvester, tanto de pneus como de escavadeira, contudo, havendo incremento de cerca de 77% na camada de 0,10 m após tráfego do harvester de pneus.
