Büyüsü Bozulan Avm’yi Büyülemek: Kent Simülasyonunda Yaşam Tarzının Tüketimi
Authors: ERCANSUNGUR Diretgen Ozan , TALİMCİLER Ahmet
Published: August 2021

Modern dönemle birlikte kitlesel bir fenomene dönüşen tüketim, yalnızca ihtiyaçların karşılanması değil, arzuların tatmini ile ilişkili bir hal almıştır. Günümüzde bu arzuların hızı, yoğunluğu ve kapsamı önemli boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Tüketim artık kültürel pratiklerden sanatsal faaliyetlere uzanan, toplumsal kimlik ile yakından ilişkili bir deneyimin alanı haline gelmektedir. Bu değişim kendisini alışveriş merkezlerinin yapısında da göstermektedir. Çalışmanın öncelikli hareket noktası, George Ritzer’in öne sürdüğü yeni tüketim araçlarının akılcılaşması ve büyülemesi arasındaki denge fikridir. Bu dengenin bozulduğunu iddia ettiğimiz, giderek akılcılaşan alışveriş merkezleri, kültürel pratiklerini, sınıfsallığını, kimliğini ve kentliliğini tüketerek deneyimleme amacındaki tüketicilerin beklentilerine cevap vermemektedir. Merkezine yaşamı alan “yaşam merkezleri” -ya da yeni alışveriş merkezleri- bu beklentilerin etkisiyle yeni bir form olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Değişen kültürel pratiklerin, sınıfsal ayrımın ve “yeniden büyüleme” olarak yaşam tarzının tüketiminin yeni alanı olan bu merkezler artık kentin bir parçasından öte, kentin ta kendisidir. Bir kent simülasyonu olarak öne çıkan bu merkezlerde kentliliğin simülakrı üretilmekte, tüm bu büyülü dünya aynı zamanda akılcı ve pratik bir paketle tüketicilerine sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yaşam merkezleri, giderek akılcılaşan alışveriş merkezlerinin bu krizi aşmak adına ulaştıkları yeni bir form olduğu iddiası ile ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı bu iddiayı teorik bir tartışmaya açmaktır; özellikle Pierre Bourdieu ve Jean Baudrillard’ın görüşleri ile yürütülecek bu teorik tartışma ile kültür ve yaşam tarzının konu edildiği, dönüşmekte olan tüketim pratikleri ve alışveriş merkezlerindeki görüntülerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Modernite, Gürültü ve Sessizlik: Sosyolojik Bir Eleştiri
Authors: TAN Mehmet
Published: August 2021

Gürültü, insanları rahatsız eden ve onlar üzerinde olumsuz etkiler bırakan her türlü ses olarak bilinmektedir. Gürültünün toplumlara göre farklı anlamlar taşıdığı ve bu durumun sosyolojik olarak değerlendirilme gerekliliği öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma sosyal bir olgu olarak gürültünün insan ve onun yaşadığı toplum üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanmaktadır. Modern dünyanın bir temsili olarak kentler; kalabalık nüfuslar, farklı kültürel topluluklar, trafik sesleri gibi gürültü olaylarına sahne olmaktadır. Bu anlamda kentsel alanların sessiz kalma gibi bir lüksü olmadığı gibi sessizliğe erişim de oldukça maliyetli ve zor olabilmektedir. Ayrıca günümüz toplumunda öne çıkan popüler kültür ve müzik gürültünün önemli kaynakları arasında yer almaktadır. Müzikteki ses ve ritim bir hareketlilik sağlarken gürültüyü de onaylayabilmektedir. Müziğin yüksek ses ile dinlenilmesi ve giderek elektronikleşmesi gürültünün müzik alanında kullanıldığını göstermektedir. Gürültü, toplumsal hayatı etkilediği gibi kişilerarası ilişkilere de yansımaları olabilmektedir. Gürültünün, sosyal ilişkilere olumsuz etkileri olmakla birlikte bir iletişim tarzı olarak da kullanılabilmektedir. Çalışma, teorik olarak gürültünün toplumsal hayattaki yerini ve etkisini tartışmaktadır. Sonuçta sosyal bir olgu olarak gürültüye atfedilen anlamlar onun modern dünyanın bir paradoksu olduğunu göstermektedir. Zira bir taraftan modern dünya gürültüyü artırırken ve onaylarken diğer taraftan gürültünün neden olduğu olumsuzlukları kabul etmekte ve bazen çözümler üretme çabasına girmektedir.

Effect of Climate Changes and Coefficient of Surface Roughness on Soil Loss by Wind Erosion in Some Central and Southern Iraq
Authors: Al-Rawi Mohammad Abdullah
Published: August 2021

"act Woodruff and siddoway, 1965, established an equation for the estimation of soil Loss by wind erosion called Wind Erosion Equation (WEQ); solution of this equation gives the maximum amount of wind erosion under certain field conditions and is considered evidence in identifying the necessary methods for treating wind erosion in those conditions (Eltaif et al.,1991). This study aims to find out the extent to which climate change in the Samawah region of southern Iraq and Baghdad in central Iraq over a period of 34 years has affected values of soil losing by wind erosion using equation of (woodruff and siddoway, 1965) and effectiveness of this changes in soil surface roughness factor in reducing or increasing these loss. Two sites were selected located within central and southern regions of Iraq, one in Al-Jadiriya area in Baghdad governorate and the other in Samawah area in Al-Muthanna governorate. The results showed that estimated soil losing for years (1980-2013) in Al-Jadiriya decrease annually by 10-30 kg.hec.-1.year-1, while samawah increase by 240-760 kg.hec.-1.year-1. The effect of surface roughness factor was significant in reducing soil loss during period of study. Roughness factor for ridge (0.5) has reduced soil losing by 2.6 times compared to non-ridge soils (1).The ratio in semi-bridge soil (0.75) was 65%. This is due to the impact of bridge in reducing wind speed and reducing its erosivity. The general direction of soil loss indicates decrease in Al-Jadiriya area and increase in Samawah area with the case of fluctuation in soil loss between high and low of general direction line due to climate factor (C) in general equation of soil loss and it reflects ability of wind erosion, so decreased when wet conditions improved, by increased rainfall, reduced evaporation and increasing when dry conditions dominate Corresponding author: E-mail( mohammed.alrawi@coagri.uobaghdad.edu.iq ) All rights reserved AlMuthanna University"

Published: August 2021

The aim of this research is to analysis the tomato monthly prices in Baghdad province for the period (Jan 2010- Dec 2015) by using seasonal time series (SARIMA) to detect seasonal variations to be excluded from the time series. The research problem is summarized by existing seasonality phenomenon in tomato monthly prices which will be reflected on the short-term planning progress. The results showed that the appropriate and efficiency model for representing time series data for tomato monthly prices was the SARIMA model (0,1,2)(1,1,0)12. Also the results of tomato monthly prices forecasting showed a harmonic direction with the same original time series. From the obtained results, the tomato monthly prices confirm the nature of the prevailing pattern in that the tomato production was affected by the season to a large extent, as the results concluded that there is a secular trend in increasing monthly prices of tomato for the period (Jan 2016-Dec 2020), which confirmed the rise in monthly prices during the forecast period. The research recommends the need to prevent imports especially at peak time (time of crop availability in local markets), and legislating laws to protect the domestic product , in addition to taxation of imported products.

Published: August 2021

This study aims to identify the strategy of implementing Qanun (law) No. 6/2014 on Jinayah (the act of sin) law in the Aceh province, Indonesia. The challenges of implementing the Qanun were also investigated during the study. This investigation was conducted in Lhokseumawe (a city in the Aceh province) and is believed as the area where more violations of shari'a (Islamic canonical law) occurred. The research method adopted was qualitative and the data were collected through interviews and document analysis. The results of the study reported that there are still some personalities or local Acehnese opposed to the implementation of the Jinayat law qanun. Most communities were also lack understanding of this qanun implementation. The findings of the study imply that the communication strategy that has been carried out between stakeholders has not yet reaped maximum results. It infers that the implementation of Qanun No. 6/2014 on Jinayah law has not been going well in Lhokseumawe City due to several motives. One of them is a lack of communication between stakeholders. Besides, unfairness occurred in prosecute violators of Qanun number 2014 concerning the Jinayah law. This means that this law is only applied to ordinary people and not the families of government officials or the rich. Besides, the Qanun Jinayah also believed discriminated against women, especially the victims of rape. In this case, the Qanun Jinayah proffers a double strain on the victims where women victims of rape must present evidence and witnesses.

Pensar dramatúrgico como chave para descentralizar a criação coreográfica do estúdio de dança.
Authors: Scialom Melina , Berto Tescarollo Isabela
Published: August 2021

A poética diversificada da dança contemporânea tem possibilitado o desenvolvimento de uma ampla gama de investigações acerca do processo criativo nesta prática estética. Dentre elas reside um questionamento sobre as atividades corporais realizadas pelos dançarinos para treinar ou preparar o corpo para a criação. Este artigo faz parte deste universo, priorizando as práticas que estão além do trabalho técnico e criativo centralizadas dentro do estúdio de dança. A partir da análise de um processo de criação de um solo em dança contemporânea, este artigo descreve e analisa as atividades de preparação corporal e de sensibilização poética realizadas pela intérprete-criadora em seu cotidiano e o como estas influenciaram a dramaturgia da criação. Concluímos que é através do pensamento dramatúrgico e sua prática de organizar as intensidades e energias geradas nos trabalhos corporais da performer que a coreografia é elaborada. Assim, a discussão realizada ao longo do artigo associada ao pensamento de Behrndt (2016), Scialom e Fabrini (2019), Gouveia (2012), Ostrower (2014) e Louppe (2012), defende a descentralização do processo criativo do estúdio de dança para incluir o cotidiano da artista-criadora como constituinte da criação, evidenciando os procedimentos utilizados para tal.
système de notation du mouvement Benesh comme outil d’analyse pour une approche décentrée dans la recherche en danse
Authors: Sampaio van Riemsdijk Helena , Classe Johanna
Published: August 2021

À travers l’exposition du projet La Bouche du Monde, projet développé autour de la danse d’Exú dans le Candomblé au Brésil, nous souhaitons mettre en évidence le processus d’écriture d'une partition de mouvement et les questionnements auxquels le notateur est confronté sur le terrain. Dans une approche de recherche, cette démarche questionne les atouts et les limites de l’usage du système Benesh de notation du mouvement dans le cadre des danses rituelles de tradition orale. Ce système, à l’opposé de la fonction conservatrice qui lui incombe par certains usages, et parce qu’il oblige le notateur à interroger sa propre posture et remettre en cause ses connaissances, prouve son potentiel à faire évoluer et à décentrer des points de vue dans la recherche en danse.

Published: August 2021

The present work describes a newly developed method for the spectrophotometric determination of cymoxanil in soil, water and vegetable samples. The detection of the target chemical substance is based on the reaction of cyanide released from the hydrolysed product of cymoxanil with potassium iodide-potassium iodate to form a blue-coloured complex in the presence of starch solution. This complex is water-soluble and shows maximum absorbance at 580 nm. For this complex, Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range of 2-50 μg mL−1 with molar absorptivity 1.2×105 L mol-1cm-1 and Sandell’s sensitivity 1.0×10-3 µg cm-2. The reproducibility was assessed by carrying out seven days replicate analysis of a solution containing 10 µgmL-1 of cymoxanil in a final solution of a volume of 10 mL. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation for the absorbance value were found to be ± 2.9×10-3 and 1.6% respectively. The proposed method is free from the interference of other toxicants. The analytical parameters were optimized and the method was applied to the determination of cymoxanil in water, soil, and vegetable samples.

New data regarding the Kilia fortress
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Slapac Mariana
Published: August 2021

Kilia medieval fortress, now non-existant, consisted of a stone citadel attributed to the Genoese, an outer belt of fortifications, built under Stephen the Great, and an Ottoman bastion fortress, designed and built in the end of the XVIII century. This article examines two documents referring to the Kilia fortress, discovered by the author in the Russian State Military-Historical Archive of Moscow. The first document is an undated plan for a Turkish bastion fortress developed, most likely, by the French engineer François Kauffer. The figure shows the Ottoman-Turkish names of bastions (Agha Bastion, Pasha Bastion, Unique/Unusual Bastion), gates (Stone Gate, Gate with a portcullis, Water Gate, Agha Gate), stone buildings (Sultan Bayezid’s Mosque), etc. The second document, also undated, shows four images of a stone fortress, built by the Moldovans. The iconographic source offers information on the layout of some towers (rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal and complex), the tower’s shape (prismatic with four, six and eight sides; cylindrical; with a rizalit; with an upper console floor, ending in the form of a turret), the shape of the roofs (hipped with four slopes, six and eight slopes, conical, gable roof or gable one with a ridge), the shape of the merlons (simple rectangular, rectangular with a gable ending located longitudinally or transversely), etc.

Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Chastina Alla
Published: August 2021

Religious architecture in Bessarabia from the beginning of the XIX century to 1917 is the subject of special research, since many architects, who worked during this period designed the buildings of monasteries, Orthodox, Catholic and Lutheran churches, chapels, houses of worship and synagogues. The creativity of such architects as Luka Zaushkevich, Alexander Bernardazzi, Leopold Scheidewandt, Karl Gasquet, George Cupcea, Mikhail Serotsinsky, Vladimir Tiganco, Lavrentii Lozinsky and others was especially vivid. Their heritage in church art is very diverse and worthy of careful study. On the one hand, the study opens new unknown pages related to the history of architecture and the creative practice in Bessarabia during the specified period. On the other hand, the newly discovered archival materials on this topic will be allow to reveal and supplement the authorship of many religious buildings in Bessarabia. The article examines both published materials and archival documents, some designs of religious buildings built in Bessarabia, due to which new facets of the talents of architects become more obvious and are of interest both for the history of architecture and, in general, for the preservation of the rich cultural heritage of the Republic of Moldova
Armenian Church of the Holy Mother of God in Chisinau
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Ciocanu Sergius
Published: August 2021

The documents attest the presence of an Armenian community in Chisinau since the ‘30s of the 18th century. In the 18th century, the Chisinau Armenians had a place of worship, located on the site of the present Armenian Church, in the “heart” of the city, on the first street parallel to the north-east side of the market square. In 1774, among the Chisinau Armenians, the priest Musuz was mentioned, who served in the Armenian Church. The temple was badly damaged by the fire that engulfed Chisinau during the military operations of 1788. The earthquake destroyed this place of worship on October 14, 1802. In 1803-1804, it was rebuilt in the same place. The construction manager and, possibly, the architect of the holy place, was master Vardan from Iaşi. According to the statistical documents of 1809, three priests and four deacons served in the Armenian church. The cemetery of Armenian community was located near the old Orthodox cemetery of the Mazarache church. However, some more important burials were also done in the churchyard of the Armenian church. During the XIX-XX centuries, the church underwent many alterations and renovations, which changed its appearance. In 1993, by the decision of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, this valuable building of Chisinau was given the status of historic monument.
The establishment of bessarabian scenographic art in the modern period
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Malcoci Vitalie
Published: August 2021

From time immemorial by practicing customs and rites in their collective forms of manifestation, the inhabitants of the Mioritic space felt the need for theatrical representations, where rudimentary elements with a spectacular character can be discerned. This cultural spirituality background, emanating across centuries, favored the establishment of a dramatic art much cherished by the natives. Thereby, the distant origins of theatrical art are to be found in the depths of the mythological and folkloric substratum of our nation, the materialization of myths and magical rituals fueling its subsequent evolution. Namely, the popular theater has inscribed in the traditional Romanian culture an original species of folklore that leads to the discovery and knowledge of the evolution of the theatrical image, to the reconstruction of archaic theatrical visions and the valorization of this cultural heritage. All the performances could not but be dressed in the guise of a scenography, supported by the ensemble of stage costume. Although the performances were often played on improvised stages, they were not without scenery and stage arrangement. Gradually, these enactments evolve and acquire full-fledged forms and features of a professional scenography.
Viennese vase painted in Dresden (architectural, artistic, stylistic, morphological and structural features)
Authors: Письмак Юрий
Published: August 2021

The article examines the architectural, artistic, stylistic, morphological and structural features of an old porcelain vase from a private Odessa collection. The unpainted vase was made in 1860s at Vienna Porcelain Manufactory. This vase was painted in Helena Wolfsohn’s studio in Dresden between 1864 and 1878 (?). Helena Wolfsohn lived and worked in a significant center of European civilization, culture and arts of her time. The images are painted on the vase using the technique of manual overglaze painting. Amazingly arranged bouquets of flowers are painted on the turquoise background of the oval-shaped body of the vase, and gallant scenes in the Watteau style are depicted on the white parts of the body. On the bottom of the vase base an underglaze blue mark is applied: a shield. The painting of the vase is notable for a vivid pictorial effect, a successful composition, harmony and restraint of color shades. Similar vases painted at Helena Wolfsohn’s studio were exhibited at the International Exhibition in Sydney (1879) and at the World Exhibition in Melbourne (1880). Decorative porcelain vases play an important role in creating the architectural and artistic ensemble of the interior, whose main compositional principle is architectonics.

Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Ostapov Alina , Studzinski Irina
Published: August 2021

The first years after the Second World War are characterized by the reconstruction of the cities of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR). The development of post-war architecture was dependent on political authorities. The regulations in the field led to special urban transformations. The Soviet urban image is a recognizable one, especially in the development of the main arteries, defined by spatial and volumetric greatness. Another impressive thing is the architecture of Stephen the Great boulevard, whose aesthetics promotes Soviet ideology. It had particular regulations regarding the alignment of the buildings, their height, their proportions, the aesthetics of the facades facing the boulevard, the relationship with the neighboring buildings and others, forming a coherent configuration. The established rules ordered the street front; the buildings often formed “parade courts”, increasing the visibility of the massive facades, called “parade facades”, which became recognizable by decorative exuberance. This article aims at observing the development of the constructions on a certain segment of the main artery of the capital of MSSR - one of the priority preoccupations of the authorities in the given period.
Modeling techniques and plastic methods in the creation of Moldovan sculptural portraits
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Marian Ana
Published: August 2021

“In many respects the expressiveness of sculpture depends on the correspondence between the idea and material,” wrote the great Russian sculptor S.T. Konenkov. This undeniable truth determined the nature of this research, in which we set out to trace how modeling techniques contributed to plastic methods, to what extent the idea of a sculptural work was brought to life with the help of skillfully processed material. So, regardless of the material and technique chosen by the author, a sculptural portrait presupposes the presence of classical research as a shape, volume, texture and last but not least, psychological expressiveness. Sculptural portraits are not viable without a complex psychological interpretation. Thus, the choice made by the sculptor in favor of this or that technique, this or that material becomes important. The ideas of the work and the final results are foreseen by the author since the execution of the drawing or sketch in clay or plasticine. Thus, an idea originally conceived in the form of a sketch follows a complicated and winding path until it reaches the final phase. And the skillful embodiment of the initial idea depends only on the skills of the sculptor, and there are many techniques for creating a work, from which the master chooses the best one.

Published: August 2021

Artistic ceramics, as a genre of professional decorative arts, being actively practiced in the second half of the twentieth century by a small number of artists in the Republic of Moldova, has seen an upward evolution, resulting in original achievements. The article examines the changes in the art of ceramics of the Republic during the first decade of the 21st century that have not been explored so far. As a result of the analysis of the art works, a number of thematic and aesthetic aspects were identified that reflect the creative goals and stylistic preferences of artists working in the considered period of time. The article examines the morphological features of the composition of the artistic shape of the ceramic artworks. Special atention is paid to the influence of technological methods of operation with ceramic materials (classical and mixed techniques) on achieving the aesthetic and semantic values of the ceramic artworks. An important place is reserved in the study to the principles of creative processing of folk motifs and the analysis of stylistic innovations that played an important role in achieving a meaningful image of the ceramic works of the time.

Integrative reflections in the contemporary approach of the architecture of buildings for shows
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Trifan Aurelia
Published: August 2021

The current approaches, materialized in studies and research programs, further explain and complete the general picture regarding the identity of buildings for shows in the Republic of Moldova. The need to update existing information and correct errors and unconfirmed assumptions arises as a result of identifying new data. The research carried out in the field of buildings for shows focuses both on the detailing of its constitution and on the revelation of the architectural-artistic value – starting with the 19th century. The first buildings for shows (the Nobles’ Meeting Club and the „Pushkin” Auditorium), the refurbished buildings („Patria” Cinema and the Organ Hall) and adaptations to new programs such as soviet cinemas are highlighted. Thorough research of the history of construction and reconstruction of the two most famous buildings for shows, which were the headquarters of the Romanian National Theater in Chisinau, contributes to the identification of valid novelties in the correct and coherent dating and interpretation, as well as the names of the authors of the projects. Programs based on appreciating the value of the cultural heritage of the Soviet period are submitted to the attention of the professional environment, the interested public and the administrators of the built heritage and represent an attempt to raise awareness of the importance of re-evaluating this heritage.

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia can infrequently present as vasculitis or Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN). The association between Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and these immune-mediated responses is rare and remains a diagnostic challenge. We present a case of a 62-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type II diabetes mellitus who presented with joint pain, hematuria and a purpuric rash in his legs and oral cavity after he dropped a bag of heavy metal on his right foot. He was found to have acute glomerulonephritis with rapidly progressing renal failure requiring emergent hemodialysis. At first, the presentation seemed to be of a rheumatologic origin and he was initially managed with methylprednisolone. However, further work-up revealed methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. The right toe was amputated for source control and the patient was treated with antibiotics. This case is, to our knowledge, the first reported clinical presentation of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia manifesting as purpuric rash, glomerulonephritis, and joint pain. It highlights the importance of making an initial differential diagnosis between a rheumatologic and an infectious disorder, as initial suspicion would change initial management and prognosis. Keywords: Bacteremia; Vasculitis; Glomerulonephritis; Staphylococcus aureus.

Right Ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a common complication seen in 20-50% of patients after Left-Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation. Although prediction models exist, it is challenging to prevent RV dysfunction and even more difficult to manage. Early recognition is crucial to determine the appropriate pharmacological therapies and decide if implementation of Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) is needed. Here, we present a case of RV dysfunction precipitated unexpectedly by a bradycardic episode. The RV dysfunction was refractory to traditional therapies but was successfully managed with right-sided MCS.

Authors: MERCAN Evren
Published: August 2021

Osmanlı Devleti’nin en çalkantılı yıllarında bahriyede muhtelif görevler alan Fevzi Kurtoğlu, aynı zamanda tarihe olan ilgisinden dolayı da Çarkçı Mekteb-i Bahriye-i Şahane, Bahriye Mektebi, Deniz Lisesi ve sair eğitim gemilerinde uzun yıllar tarih öğretmenliği vazifesini ifa etmiştir. Kendisinin Türk deniz harp tarihindeki “boşlukları doldurma” gayretiyle kaleme aldığı makale ve kitaplar, günümüzde hala referans kaynak olmayı sürdürmektedir. İlginç bir şekilde Türk deniz harp tarihçiliğindeki bu özgül ağırlığına rağmen kendisi ve hayatına dair neredeyse hiçbir çalışmanın yapılmaması, hatta yazdığı eserlere ilişkin tafsilatlı ve doğru bir bibliyografyanın dahi bulunmaması düşündürücüdür. Bu çalışmanın hedefi Türk deniz harp tarihinde önemli bir yeri dolduran bahriyeli tarihçi Fevzi Kurtoğlu’nun askerî safahatı, eserlerinin olabildiğince eksiksiz bibliyografyasını ortaya çıkartmak ve ayrıca tarihçiliği üzerine bir dizi kritikte bulunmaktır.
Security Studies as a Subfield of International Relations
Authors: KÜPELİ Hayrettin
Published: August 2021

The article’s methodology is constructed on the argument that as a sub-field, Security Studies’ changing character and evolution is related with the historical and socio-political circumstances from the first appearance after World War II until today. It is aimed in this paper, besides drawing a descriptive representation of different perspectives in Security Studies, to establish a deeper understanding in what kind of context these different approaches took shape. From this point of view, the historical process-tracing analysis method is adopted and analysis under three headings was conducted. In the first section, the developments which established the proper ground for the foundation of Security Studies and their consequences were analyzed. In the second section, the traditional approaches which were prominent in the Cold War era were examined in the historical context. In the last section, the appearance of widening and deepening approaches after the Cold War was scrutinized. The analysis and results generally supported the main argument of the article and these were evaluated and discussed within the context of future possibilities as a conclusion.
Military Operations Research: Origins, Recent Past, and Present
Authors: YILDIRIM Ugur
Published: August 2021

Operations Research (OR) (also called Operational Research and Operations Analysis) has its origins in tackling military problems and requirements using scientific methods and common sense. This paper aims to provide an overview of its origins, a summary on recent past, and current practices. While many ingenious persons have come up with creative ways to ensure the military means and tools were more effective and efficient over the centuries, not all of these individual efforts can qualify as an organized scientific discipline. Thus, it is important to note that the author refrains from the premise of “the older the better” and focus of the paper is on “practical” emergence of OR as an “applied science” in the years just preceding and during World War II (WW2). Military applications of OR, where it stemmed from, are provided throughout the paper. After WW2, unemployed OR analysts started using their skills on making things better, more effective, and more efficient in the civilian industry and this tradition continues today with great success. It would be over ambitious to attempt to cover all of OR’s applications and contributions in a single paper. Therefore, the attempt here is to provide a glimpse of Military OR’s origins, recent past, current application areas.
