Authors: Topaloğlu Yusuf
Published: July 2020

Dünya yazın alanında 1980’li yıllardan beri tartışılan ve çok sayıda roman ve araştırma incelemesi yayımlanan özkurmaca türü, ülkemizde fazlaca tanınmamaktadır. Özellikle Türk yazın alanında ilk olma özelliği taşıyan bu araştırma inceleme yapıtı, 2019 yılında uluslararası bir İngiliz yayınevi olan Transnational Press London tarafından Türkçe yayımlanmış, 239 sayfa ve yedi bölümden oluşmaktadır. Yazar yapıtın sonuna ek olarak 2019 yılına kadar Fransa’da yayımlanan özkurmaca romanların künyesini de vermiştir. Özkurmaca yeniötesi dönemin bir ürünü olarak hala sanatsal ve türsel açıdan tartışılan bir alandır. Yazınsal türler, eskiden beri yazın ürünlerinin, gerek içerik gerekse biçim açısından aralarında anlatısal, izleksel, düşüngüsel ve yapısal benzerlik ya da ilgi kurmalarına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkar. Bu türselleşme sürecinde ortaya çıkan yazınsal yaratıların sanatsal ve yazınsal değeri hep tartışılmaktadır. Her yazınsal tür ve alttür, doğal olarak önsel olarak belli bir gelişim süreci izler. Bu bağlamda, özkurmacanın kuramsal ve yöntemsel bağlamda oluşum ve gelişimini anlamak için bir dizi sorulara yanıt vermek gerekir.

Authors: Takayama Rina , Inoue Yutaka , Murata Isamu , Kanamoto Ikuo
Published: July 2020

The aim of this study was to evaluate the characterized hydration method to prepare nanoparticles using Soluplus, a block copolymer with amphipathic properties, and distearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DSPE)-PEG2000 owing to particle size distribution, zeta potential, particle stability, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observed and 31P-NMR spectra. The results showed that, in a suspension of DSPE-PEG2000 and Soluplus at a ratio of 1/1, the prepared microparticles were stable for five days in the dark and at 25 °C. It was also confirmed that the 1/1 suspension of DSPE-PEG2000/Soluplus was stable for five days under the same conditions with the magnesium chloride solution. TEM measurements confirmed the presence of micelle-like particles of 50 to 150 nm in the 1/1 ratio mix of DSPE-PEG2000/Soluplus. 31P-NMR spectral data confirmed that DPSE-PEG2000/Soluplus at mixing ratio of 1/1 has a strong intermolecular with the phosphate group, indicated by the fact that the peak shift and the full width at half maximum were the largest compared with DSPE-PEG2000 with the intermolecular interaction. On the basis of the findings of this study, we conclude that microparticles can be formed using DSPE-PEG2000 and Soluplus via the hydration method, and that the optimum weight ratio of DSPE-PEG2000 to Soluplus is 1/1.

Published: July 2020

Structural health monitoring (SHM) in historical buildings can be achieved through systems that rely on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Such systems have the ability to acquire information fast and reliably, making them ideal for SHM applications. Historical buildings, having been exposed to the wear of time, are especially sensitive to any kind of intervention. As a result, keeping them as intact as possible is a critical factor for their integrity. In the current work, a low-cost WSN system and a synchronization algorithm are developed in order to be employed for SHM of historical buildings. The synchronization of WSN-based SHM systems is critical for the collection of accurate information describing the building’s condition. The effectiveness of the assumed hardware and the synchronization algorithm were evaluated with two experiments. The first took place under laboratory conditions and its results showcase the algorithm’s accuracy of synchronization. The second experiment was conducted in a real-world environment. For that purpose, the Ionian Campus Testbed was chosen since it comprises buildings that are more than 200 years old. These buildings are appropriate since they were built with thick stone walls which help determine the system’s effectiveness under such conditions. The results derived from the second experiment showcase the effects of the packet transmission collision avoidance mechanism utilized by the assumed hardware. Finally, an estimation of the average clock skew required for accurate information gathering is derived, based on the materials comprising a historical building.

Nommer et classer les actes dans les formulaires notariaux imprimés (France, XVIe-XVIIIe siècle)
Authors: Poncet Olivier
Published: July 2020

Zur Analyse der Bezeichnung und Struktur der Typologien von Notariatsurkunden wurde ein Korpus von 14 in Frankreich zwischen 1480 und 1780 gedruckten Formularsammlungen zusammengestellt. Die Autoren dieser Werke sind Notare, Magistrate, Rechtsprofessoren, vor allem aber Praktiker : Allen ist gemein, dass sie einen wenn auch nicht marginalen, so doch zumindest singulären Berufsweg zurückgelegt haben. Ihre Werke, die durchaus Kenntnis voneinander haben, besitzen spezifischeMerkmale, die zum Teil zahlreiche und wesentlich überarbeitete Neuauflagen rechtfertigen. Die Möglichkeiten zur Darstellung (Anordnung, Auswahl der Modelle) beruhen zwar auf älteren und mittelalterlichen Traditionen, belegen aber auch eine aktualisierte Auswahl, die den Platz desNotars im Wirtschaftssystem des Schriftwesens wiederspiegelt.
Méthodologie et construction des bases Minotaure-ARNO des Archives nationales : quels éléments pour un glossaire des typologies d’actes ?
Authors: Limon Marie-Françoise , Nougaret Christine
Published: July 2020

The Minutier central des notaires de Paris and the École nationale des chartes are currently working on a typology of notarial acts produced in Paris in the nineteenth century. Their aim is to construct a glossary that can be used as a reference tool by archivists and as a finding aid by researchers, historians as well as genealogists. It was obvious from the start that ARNO 1851, an exhaustive database for the year 1851 compiled by theMinutier central, could be used to identify the different types of acts and to select the ones that should be included in the glossary. As a first step, it was essential to understand how this and earlier databases available at the Archives Nationales had been designed and developed by their various authors and supervisors. This article presents the history of these databases and the methodologies used to create them, as well as exploring such limitations as the unreliability of data and the absence of contextual information.
L’ombre d’un secrétaire d’État. L’ascension de la maison de Villeroy (fin du XVe siècle-1567)
Authors: Fontvieille Damien
Published: July 2020

Nicolas IV of Neufville became secretary of state in 1567, at only twenty-four years of age, thanks to the social advancement of his ancestors. From working as fishmongers in the fifteenth century, they had come to acquire important offices in the financial administration and chancery of the Valois monarchy in the following century. In addition to that tradition of service, Nicolas IV inherited a robust social and political network extending from the Le Gendres, who were partly responsible for the fortune of the family, to the L’Aubespines, who introduced them into the world of the grands commis of the monarchy. Finally, the family gradually rose towards noble status by amassing significant financial and patrimonial assets, by adopting the social and cultural practices of the nobility and by gaining a prestigious reputation. All those elements formed the ‘‘ shadow’’ of young Villeroy’s persona in 1567 : the new secretary of state brought his family’s reputation to fruition as a guarantee that he was perfectly qualified to serve the crown.
L’hébreu en Provence. Quelques remarques à propos d’un article récent
Authors: Nahon Peter
Published: July 2020

Similarly to liturgical Latin, Hebrew, the ritual language of the Israelites, has had various pronunciations or traditions of oral performance, according to time and place. The ancient oral forms of the language can only be known or reconstructed based on phonological intersections. A recently published article, the first study of Hebrew in medieval and early-modern Provence, offers an opportunity for some critical and methodological notes on matters of detail and substance, which may be of interest for the history and phonology of Hebrew in France but also of other ‘‘written culture languages’’.
ЗАСТОСУВАННЯМ ГІСТОХІМІЧНОГО МЕТОДУ ПРИ ВИВЧЕННЯ РОЗПОДІЛУ ВАЖКИХ МЕТАЛІВ В ПРОРОСТКАХ КУКУРУДЗИ
Authors: Журавльова І. М.
Published: July 2020

The article deals with the impact of hеavy metals on the growth and development of corn seedlings on early stages of ontogenesis. Heavy metals enter the plant, mainly through the root system. Therefore, the primary reaction of the plant to their impact, which can be clearly traced through the inhibition of growth occurs in the root system. Corn was used as the test culture. The seeds were germinated for three days in the dark at t = 27 ° C on filter paper moistened with distilled water. Three-day seedlings were transplanted into Petri dishes on filter paper moistened with solutions of cadmium nitrate salts (1×10-4 and 5× 0-4 M) and lead (1×10-3 and 1.5×10-3 M). The Petri dishes were kept in a thermostat at 27 ° C. The nature of the reaction of corn seedlings to the increase of the concentration of heavy metals manifested more clearly under the action of lead ions and was expressed in the suppression of growth processes.
To detect the localization of heavy metals in the tissues of plants, we suggest the use of a histochemical method based on the formation of colored complexes of analytical reagents with the investigated heavy metals. Dithizone, characterized by high sensitivity to cadmium and lead, was used as such a reagent. After incubating the seedlings with the corresponding salts, a series of transverse sections of the root were prepared and placed on a glass slide. Then, 3-4 drops of the analytical reagent were applied, and after a few minutes the transverse sections were examined under a microscope at various magnifications. The localization of cadmium and lead was identified by the red staining of root tissues. It was found out that deposits of dithizonates of metals were observed mainly in the tissues of rhizoderm, exoderm and mesoderm. No metal dithizonates were detected in the pericycle and the central cylinder. Thus, the experiments have proved that the endoderm plays a barrier role in the transport of metals through the root.

The success of any project depends on suitable and economical formwork arrangements and it accounts about 25% in the overall cost. The project completion time depends on the erection and de-shuttering of formwork. Proper planning, management and safety is very important to finish the project within the cost budget and satisfactory quality. This study focuses on the conventional type of form work using timber joists and stringers loaded with different types of spacing in an actually erected model. The soil has been compacted, consolidated before the erection of model. After erections, the entire model has been subjected to sand bag loading with the specified loading capacity per sq. m. The deflections due to the added load on the formwork is characterized by standard deflectometer for different spacing of timber joists. Accordingly, the shores spacing have also been obtained with the designed load bearing capacity. With this study it has been found that the stability of formwork is analyzed based on vibrations and deflections. Hence the study infers that optimum spacing of joists designed should be decreased for minimum deflection. The vibrations and key factors for this erection have been identified and the results are presented.

Handover is one of the major concerns arising in wireless network due to increasing demand of services by the customers. Different studies have been performed to attain a seamless handover. Researchers are implementing novel technologies so that efficient decision can be made to maintain effective communication. Multilayer feed forward artificial neural network has been implemented in a recent study in which Received Signal strength indicator (RSSI), monetary cost, Data rate and Velocity of mobile users in the network are taken into account for handover decision in wireless network. Due to several limitations of this technique, a novel method- Multiple parameters dependent Handover decision (MPDHD) is presented in which Sugeno fuzzy model is amalgamated with neural network to form an intelligent system. In the system, neural network is trained by the fuzzy model which reduced the complexity of the existing work. Also along with the parameters used in existing work, a new user metric-Load is introduced to check the availability of the base station with minimum load of users connected to it. The simulation of the proposed work is carried out in the MATLAB environment. From, the experimental results, it is concluded that MPDHD is better than existing approaches and reduced the handover probability in the network.

Accent is one of the issue for systems. Automatic Speech Recognition systems must yield high performance for different dialects. In this work, Neutral Kannada Automatic Speech Recognition is implemented using Kaldi software for monophone modelling and triphone modeli acoustic models are constructed using the techniques such as monophone, triphone1, triphone2, triphone3 modeling, grouping of interphones is performed. Feature extraction is performed by Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients. The system performance is analysed by measuring Word Error Rate using different acoustic models. To know the robustness and performance of the Neutral Kannada Automatic Speech Recognition system for different dialects in Kannada, the system is tested for North Kannada accent. Better sentence accuracy is obtained for Neutral Kannada Automatic Speech Recognition system and is about 90%. The performance is degraded, when tested for North Kannada accent and the accuracy obtained is around 77%. The performance is degraded due to the increasing mismatch between the training and testing data set, as the Neutral Kannada Automatic Speech Recognition system is trained only for neutral Kannada acoustic model and doesn't include north Kannada acoustic model. Interactive Kannada system is implemented to identify continuous Kannada speech sentences.

Wireless sensor networks can be used to deliver status information to users in real time. The sensor nodes used in wireless sensor networks are arranged by attaching sensors to acquire necessary information, such as vibration, sound, light, and temperature. Since a sensor node is small in size and inexpensive, it is advantageous for monitoring large areas. When a sensor node senses a change in a situation, this event information is wirelessly communicated with other sensor nodes and transmitted to a base station. However, since the sensor nodes used in wireless sensor networks are small and inexpensive, there are restrictions in terms of their battery life, memory, and computing power. An attacker can easily compromise a sensor node and use a compromised node to attempt message tampering and energy consumption attacks. EDDK is a scheme that detects attacks from compromised nodes through key management. EDDK uses a pairwise key and a local cluster key to defend against various attacks in the network. In addition, EDDK protects against replay attacks by using sequence numbers and guarantees message integrity. However, since the sequence number and sensor node ID are not encrypted, they can be used as an attack element. An attacker can attempt a replay attack by manipulating the sequence number through sniffing. A replay attack that occurs in a wireless sensor network consumes sensor node energy and confuses the user. In order to defend against such an attack, we propose a sequence number encryption scheme. The proposed scheme detects new types of replay attacks and shows about 7% energy improvement.

[THE COMPATIBILITY OF ISLAM AND DEMOCRACY: CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES OF DEMOCRATIZATION IN ISLAMIC WORLD] This study aims to find out whether Islam and democracy are compatible, as well as how the challenges and obstacles of democratization in the Muslim world. This research is in the form of a pure library (library research) using descriptive qualitative methods. Data analysis of the discussion uses the inductive approach, which is to draw general conclusions from specific conclusions. In principle, not all democratic teachings are relevant to Islamic teachings. When democracy becomes a commitment for the state to be put into practice, then all aspects of life cannot be separated from a touch of democracy, including religion. In Muslim countries, especially Asia and North Africa, religious democracy does not necessarily go hand in hand with the practice of political democracy. Doctrinally, Islam and democracy are two different things, but substantively there are democratic principles that are compatible with Islamic teachings. The principle of justice in law enforcement, equality in community life, nation and state, as well as freedom of opinion, religion, and belief. These principles are ideally contained in a written document, the Medina Charter
Towards a Blockchain Contract-for-Difference Financial Instrument for Hedging Renewable Electricity Transactions
Authors: Alao Olakunle , Cuffe Paul
Published: July 2020

Contract-for-Difference financial instruments are available to renewable electricity generators in day-ahead electricity markets to allow them to hedge against revenue risk. Traditional CfDs while designed to hedge revenue risk, introduce other new risks such as counterparty credit, margining and third-party risks. We therefore propose a novel financial instrument - an Ethereum blockchain-based dual escrow smart contract, to serve as the mediator in a CfD agreement between a renewable electricity generator and supplier. This financial instrument addresses hedging related risks that result from traditional CfD agreements in day-ahead electricity markets. In this paper, we design the logic of the financial instrument, translate this logic to smart contract codes and demonstrate its expected performance. Overall, the proposed financial instrument has the benefits of reducing hedging related risks inherent in traditional CfDs. Likewise, it enables secure, efficient, cost-effective, consistent, reliable, transparent and frictionless transactions between contracting parties in a CfD agreement.
Towards a Blockchain Special Purpose Vehicle for Financing Independent Renewable Electricity Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Alao Olakunle , Cuffe Paul
Published: July 2020

Sub-Saharan Africa requires affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity to boost its economic, social, and human development. The main challenge posed to the region's electricity sector is the large investment gap needed to finance new power projects. The employment of new and innovative financing options is required to bridge this investment gap. Independent power projects have become one of the fastest-growing sources of new finance in the region. However, their development is constrained by the limited availability of debt finance for project implementation. The limited capital and bureaucratic burden of traditional financial institutions coupled with the high risks in the region ensures that the debt finance required by independent power projects is raised only after an arduous voyage and at high interest rates. We address these challenges by proposing a novel decentralized finance instrument, a blockchain special purpose vehicle that streamlines the processes in the financial layer of a traditional special purpose vehicle -- finance mobilization, revenue collection, and revenue disbursal.

In the lead-up to the 2013 parliamentary election, four Italian parties used primaries to select candidates. Primaries, which were autonomously decided upon by the parties' central offices, have operated according to different rules. These quasi-experimental circumstances allow an assessment of the effects of rules and selectors' predispositions in the promotion of legislator renewal. An examination of three aspects of renewal–gender balance, rejuvenation and turnover–found that party leaderships sometimes deliberately pursued renewal through biased rules. The cases in point are Partito Democratico and Sinistra Ecologia e Libertà regarding gender balance, and Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S) regarding turnover. Moreover, even when unconstrained by the rules, selectors have pushed for renewal, as shown by the rise in female representation in the M5S. In general, primary elections have demonstrated to be renewalfriendly. However, it remains unclear whether this is an idiosyncratic effect connected to a single election, or a general tendency due to the characteristics of primary voters.

O papel do Congresso dos EUA na formulação de política externa do Governo Obama / The role of the U.S. Congress in the formulation of Obama’s Foreing Policy
Authors: Magnotta Fernanda Petená
Published: July 2020

Este artigo tem como tema geral a política externa dos EUA durante o primeiro mandato do presidente Barack Obama (2009-2012) e como objeto de estudo as fontes domésticas das decisões internacionais do país. Pretende-se investigar de que modo se deu a relação entre os poderes Executivo e Legislativo ao longo deste período, partindo da hipótese de que boa parte das dificuldades enfrentadas pela administração Obama no sentido de imprimir novos rumos à política exterior do país estiveram relacionadas aos constrangimentos impostos pelo Congresso e às amarras institucionais então utilizadas por tais forças políticas. A pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo, é de ordem exploratória e baseada em fontes primárias e secundárias. Abstract: This article studies the U.S. Foreign Policy during the first term of President Barack Obama (2009-2012) and has as an object of analysis the domestic sources of the country’s international decisions. We intend to investigate how the relationship between the Executive and Legislative branches worked over this period, suggesting the hypothesis that some of the difficulties faced by the Obama administration in order to print out new directions to American Foreign Policy were related to the constraints imposed by Congress and the institutional shackles then used for such political forces. The research is qualitative, exploratory and is based on primary and secondary sources.
Las Relaciones Bolivia-Brasil en el siglo XXI: comercio energético y tensiones diplomáticas / The Relations between Bolivia and Brazil during XXI century: energy and diplomatic tensions
Authors: Ceppi Natalia
Published: July 2020

A partir de la llegada del Partido de los Trabajadores al Ejecutivo brasilero en 2003, las relaciones con Bolivia ingresaron –en comparación con épocas anteriores- a una etapa intensa y dinámica que se fue consolidando tras la asunción presidencial de Evo Morales. En el transcurso del siglo XXI ambos Estados han procurado construir una agenda diversificada que respondiera a las múltiples necesidades de la vinculación. Sin embargo, hubo dos temas que concentraron los esfuerzos políticos en el período 2003-2013: el negocio del gas natural y los desencuentros en torno al asilo diplomático otorgado por el gobierno de Rousseff al ex senador boliviano Roger Pinto Molina. El presente trabajo analiza –desde un enfoque cualitativo- estas dos temáticas, considerando que las mismas han motivado los principales momentos de cooperación y discordia en el vínculo bilateral actual.  Abstract: Since the arrival of Lula administration in 2003, relations between Brazil and Bolivia became more intense and dynamic; situation which was consolidated after Evo Morales won presidential elections in 2005. At the present century these States have shown efforts to build a diversified agenda which can respond to the multiple needs and problems that are part of bilateral relation. However, two issues concentrated the attention and the political efforts during 2003-2013: the imports/exports of natural gas and the disagreements about the treatment of diplomatic asylum in Roger Pinto Molina case. From a qualitative methodology, this paper analyses these two issues, considering that they have motivated the most important moments of cooperation and conflict of current bilateral relation.
