Published: June 2023

Understanding the users' patterns of visiting various location categories can help online platforms improve content personalization and user experiences. Current literature on predicting future location categories of a user typically employs features that can be traced back to the user, such as spatial geo-coordinates and demographic identities. Moreover, existing approaches commonly suffer from cold-start and generalization problems, and often cannot specify when the user will visit the predicted location category. In a large social platform, it is desirable for prediction models to avoid using user-identifiable data, generalize to unseen and new users, and be able to make predictions for specific times in the future. In this work, we construct a neural model, LocHabits, using data from Snapchat. The model omits user-identifiable inputs, leverages temporal and sequential regularities in the location category histories of Snapchat users and their friends, and predicts the users' next-hour location categories. We evaluate our model on several real-life, large-scale datasets from Snapchat and FourSquare, and find that the model can outperform baselines by 14.94% accuracy. We confirm that the model can (1) generalize to unseen users from different areas and times, and (2) fall back on collective trends in the cold-start scenario. We also study the relative contributions of various factors in making the predictions and find that the users' visitation preferences and most-recent visitation sequences play more important roles than time contexts, same-hour sequences, and social influence features.
Misleading Repurposing on Twitter
Authors: Elmas Tuğrulcan , Overdorf Rebekah , Aberer Karl
Published: June 2023

We present the first in-depth and large-scale study of misleading repurposing, in which a malicious user changes the identity of their social media account via, among other things, changes to the profile attributes in order to use the account for a new purpose while retaining their followers. We propose a definition for the behavior and a methodology that uses supervised learning on data mined from the Internet Archive's Twitter Stream Grab to flag repurposed accounts. We found over 100,000 accounts that may have been repurposed. Of those, 28% were removed from the platform after 2 years, thereby confirming their inauthenticity. We also characterize repurposed accounts and found that they are more likely to be repurposed after a period of inactivity and deleting old tweets. We also provide evidence that adversaries target accounts with high follower counts to repurpose, and some make them have high follower counts by participating in follow-back schemes. The results we present have implications for the security and integrity of social media platforms, for data science studies in how historical data is considered, and for society at large in how users can be deceived about the popularity of an opinion.

"A Special Operation": A Quantitative Approach to Dissecting and Comparing Different Media Ecosystems’ Coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian War
Authors: Hanley Hans W. A. , Kumar Deepak , Durumeric Zakir
Published: June 2023

The coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has varied widely between Western, Russian, and Chinese media ecosystems with propaganda, disinformation, and narrative spins present in all three. By utilizing the normalized pointwise mutual information metric, differential sentiment analysis, word2vec models, and partially labeled Dirichlet allocation, we present a quantitative analysis of the differences in coverage amongst these three news ecosystems. We find that while the Western press outlets have focused on the military and humanitarian aspects of the war, Russian media have focused on the purported justifications for the “special military operation” such as the presence in Ukraine of “bio-weapons” and “neo-nazis”, and Chinese news media have concentrated on the conflict’s diplomatic and economic consequences. Detecting the presence of several Russian disinformation narratives in the articles of several Chinese media outlets, we finally measure the degree to which Russian media has influenced Chinese coverage across Chinese outlets’ news articles, Weibo accounts, and Twitter accounts. Our analysis indicates that since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Chinese state media outlets have increasingly cited Russian outlets as news sources and spread Russian disinformation narratives.

Authors: Herdağdelen Amaç , Adamic Lada , State Bogdan
Published: June 2023

We present a de-identified and aggregated dataset based on geographical patterns of Facebook Groups usage and demonstrate its association with measures of social capital. The dataset is aggregated at United States county level. Established spatial measures of social capital are known to vary across US counties. Their availability and recency depends on running costly surveys. We examine to what extent a dataset based on usage patterns of Facebook Groups, which can be generated at regular intervals, could be used as a partial proxy by capturing local online associations.

We identify four main latent factors that distinguish Facebook group engagement by county, obtained by exploratory factor analysis. The first captures small and private groups, dense with friendship connections. The second captures very local and small groups. The third captures non-local, large, public groups, with more age mixing. The fourth captures partially local groups of medium to large size.
Only two of these factors, the first and third, correlate with offline community level social capital measures, while the second and fourth do not. Together and individually, the factors are predictive of offline social capital measures, even controlling for various demographic attributes of the counties.

To our knowledge this is the first systematic test of the association between offline regional social capital and patterns of online community engagement in the same regions. By making the dataset available to the research community, we hope to contribute to the ongoing studies in social capital.
Team Resilience under Shock: An Empirical Analysis of GitHub Repositories during Early COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Lu Xuan , Ai Wei , Wang Yixin , Mei Qiaozhu
Published: June 2023

While many organizations have shifted to working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, how the remote workforce and the remote teams are influenced by and would respond to this and future shocks remain largely unknown. Software developers have relied on remote collaborations long before the pandemic, working in virtual teams (GitHub repositories). The dynamics of these repositories through the pandemic provide a unique opportunity to understand how remote teams react under shock. This work presents a systematic analysis.

We measure the overall effect of the early pandemic on public GitHub repositories by comparing their sizes and productivity with the counterfactual outcomes forecasted as if there were no pandemic. We find that the productivity level and the number of active members of these teams vary significantly during different periods of the pandemic. We then conduct a finer-grained investigation and study the heterogeneous effects of the shock on individual teams. We find that the resilience of a team is highly correlated to certain properties of the team before the pandemic. Through a bootstrapped regression analysis, we reveal which types of teams are robust or fragile to the shock.
Identifying Influential Brokers on Social Media from Social Network Structure
Authors: Tsugawa Sho , Watabe Kohei
Published: June 2023

Identifying influencers in a given social network has become an important research problem for various applications, including accelerating the spread of information in viral marketing and preventing the spread of fake news and rumors. The literature contains a rich body of studies on identifying influential source spreaders who can spread their own messages to many other nodes. In contrast, the identification of influential brokers who can spread other nodes' messages to many nodes has not been fully explored. Theoretical and empirical studies suggest that involvement of both influential source spreaders and brokers is a key to facilitating large-scale information diffusion cascades. Therefore, this paper explores ways to identify influential brokers from a given social network. By using three social media datasets, we investigate the characteristics of influential brokers by comparing them with influential source spreaders and central nodes obtained from centrality measures. Our results show that (i) most of the influential source spreaders are not influential brokers (and vice versa) and (ii) the overlap between central nodes and influential brokers is small (less than 15%) in Twitter datasets. We also tackle the problem of identifying influential brokers from centrality measures and node embeddings, and we examine the effectiveness of social network features in the broker identification task. Our results show that (iii) although a single centrality measure cannot characterize influential brokers well, prediction models using node embedding features achieve F1 scores of 0.35--0.68, suggesting the effectiveness of social network features for identifying influential brokers.

Published: June 2023

Hate speech has become one of the most significant issues in modern society, having implications in both the online and the offline world. Due to this, hate speech research has recently gained a lot of traction. However, most of the work has primarily focused on text media with relatively little work on images and even lesser on videos. Thus, early stage automated video moderation techniques are needed to handle the videos that are being uploaded to keep the platform safe and healthy. With a view to detect and remove hateful content from the video sharing platforms, our work focuses on hate video detection using multi-modalities. To this end, we curate ~43 hours of videos from BitChute and manually annotate them as hate or non-hate, along with the frame spans which could explain the labelling decision. To collect the relevant videos we harnessed search keywords from hate lexicons. We observe various cues in images and audio of hateful videos. Further, we build deep learning multi-modal models to classify the hate videos and observe that using all the modalities of the videos improves the overall hate speech detection performance (accuracy=0.798, macro F1-score=0.790) by ~5.7% compared to the best uni-modal model in terms of macro F1 score. In summary, our work takes the first step toward understanding and modeling hateful videos on video hosting platforms such as BitChute.
Codes, Patterns and Shapes of Contemporary Online Antisemitism and Conspiracy Narratives – an Annotation Guide and Labeled German-Language Dataset in the Context of COVID-19

Published: June 2023

Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, existing conspiracy theories were refreshed and new ones were created, often interwoven with antisemitic narratives, stereotypes and codes. The sheer volume of antisemitic and conspiracy theory content on the Internet makes data-driven algorithmic approaches essential for anti-discrimination organizations and researchers alike. However, the manifestation and dissemination of these two interrelated phenomena is still quite under-researched in scholarly empirical research of large text corpora. Algorithmic approaches for the detection and classification of specific contents usually require labeled datasets, annotated based on conceptually sound guidelines. While there is a growing number of datasets for the more general phenomenon of hate speech, the development of corpora and annotation guidelines for antisemitic and conspiracy content is still in its infancy, especially for languages other than English.
To address this gap, we have developed an annotation guide for antisemitic and conspiracy theory online content in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that includes working definitions, e.g. of specific forms of antisemitism such as encoded and post-Holocaust antisemitism. We use the guide to annotate a German-language dataset consisting of $\sim \! 3,700$ Telegram messages sent between 03/2020 and 12/2021.
Divergences in Following Patterns between Influential Twitter Users and Their Audiences across Dimensions of Identity
Authors: Fulay Suyash , Gillani Nabeel , Roy Deb
Published: June 2023

Identity spans multiple dimensions; however, the relative salience of a dimension of identity can vary markedly from person to person. Furthermore, there is often a difference between one’s internal identity (how salient different aspects of one's identity are to oneself) and external identity (how salient different aspects are to the external world). We attempt to capture the internal and external saliences of different dimensions of identity for influential users (“influencers”) on Twitter using the follow graph. We consider an influencer’s “ego-centric” profile, which is determined by their personal following patterns and is largely in their direct control, and their “audience-centric” profile, which is determined by the following patterns of their audience and is outside of their direct control. Using these following patterns we calculate a corresponding salience metric that quantifies how important a certain dimension of identity is to an individual. We find that relative to their audiences, influencers exhibit more salience in race in their ego-centric profiles and less in religion and politics. One practical application of these findings is to identify "bridging" influencers that can connect their sizeable audiences to people from traditionally underheard communities. This could potentially increase the diversity of views audiences are exposed to through a trusted conduit (i.e. an influencer they already follow) and may lead to a greater voice for influencers from communities of color or women.
An investigation of feed-forward and feed-back eye movement training in immersive virtual reality

Published: June 2023

The control of eye gaze is critical to the execution of many skills. The observation that task experts in many domains exhibit more efficient control of eye gaze than novices has led to the development of gaze training interventions that teach these behaviours. We aimed to extend this literature by i) examining the relative benefits of feed-forward (observing an expert’s eye movements) versus feed-back (observing your own eye movements) training, and ii) automating this training within virtual reality. Serving personnel from the British Army and Royal Navy were randomised to either feed-forward or feed-back training within a virtual reality simulation of a room search and clearance task. Eye movement metrics – including visual search, saccade direction, and entropy – were recorded to quantify the efficiency of visual search behaviours. Feed-forward and feed-back eye movement training produced distinct learning benefits, but both accelerated the development of efficient gaze behaviours. However, we found no evidence that these more efficient search behaviours transferred to better decision making in the room clearance task. Our results suggest integrating eye movement training principles within virtual reality training simulations may be effective, but further work is needed to understand the learning mechanisms.

Introduction: Body contouring is commonly used to enhance abdominal aesthetics; however, managing post-surgical edema remains a challenge. Kinesiotherapy, involving continuous abdominal bandaging, may offer a solution. Objectives: This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of Kinesiotherapy in managing edema, ecchymosis, seroma, and post-surgical pain in abdominal liposuction. Material and Methods: In a clinical trial, 50 patients undergoing abdominal liposuction were evaluated over one year, with 25 in a control group and 25 in an experimental group. The study monitored the effects of Kinesiotherapy during the first 7 and 21 days post-surgery, using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to assess reductions in seroma, ecchymosis, edema, and pain. Results: The study showed a decrease in edema measured by cm2 in MRI, with an average reduction of 373 cm2 in the control group compared to 635 cm2 in the experimental group, leading to decreased edema, ecchymosis, pain, and seroma. Discussion: Liposuction is a widely used surgical technique for removing fat to improve body contour. However, some patients may experience an excessively flat abdomen. Kinesiotherapy, a daily-use intervention, has shown proactive benefits in managing post-surgical complications related to body contouring. Conclusions: Abdominal belts, used for controlled management of post-surgical edema, facilitate lymphatic and nervous recirculation, ultimately reducing seromas, fibrosis, ecchymosis, and paresthesias. This study highlights the importance of incorporating Kinesiotherapy for optimal patient outcomes.

Host plant diversity causes differences in the biology and adaptation of insects. In this study, variations in some biological properties and adaptive antioxidative response of Myzus persicae (Sulzer,1776) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on five Charleston pepper, Capsicum annuum L. (Solanaceae) cultivars were investigated under laboratory conditions (25±1°C, 60±5% RH). The lowest intrinsic rate of increase (r = 0.193 d-1) of M. persicae was estimated in the tested cohort fed with the Kanyon cultivar, while the highest intrinsic rate of increase (r = 0.248 d-1) was found on the Tufan cultivar. The cohort fed with Safkan cultivar exhibited the highest levels of GST-CDNB and EST-PNPA at 562.80 and 207.64 nmol/mg protein, respectively, whereas the cohort fed with Kanyon cultivar showed the lowest levels at 317.04 and 132.14 nmol/mg protein, respectively. Analysis of life table parameters and enzymatic/non-enzymatic antioxidant levels of M. persicae showed that among the cultivars we tested, the Tufan cultivar was the most preferred host by M. persicae, while Kanyon cultivar was a less suitable host.

Arap Dili Gramerinde Nûnü’l-vikâye’nin Kullanım Alanları ve Manaya Etkisi
Authors: Buhan Yusuf
Published: June 2023

Arap dili gramerinin oluşması ve sistemleşmesinde hece harflerinin büyük bir önemi vardır. Zira harf, kelimenin başına, ortasına ve sonuna eklenmek suretiyle veya bizatihi ifadeyi lafız ve mana bakımından etkilemektedir. Nûn harfi de Arap dili gramerinde fail, tenvin, merfuluk alameti, mutavaât, vikâye, tekit vb. birçok bağlamda kullanılmıştır. Buna göre nûn, kelimenin başına, ortasına ve sonuna gelebilen ve çeşitli vazifeleri yerine getiren bir harftir. Arap dilinde nûnun kelimenin sonuna geldiği yerlerden biri de “nûnü’l-vikâye”dir. Gramer kitaplarında müstakil olarak ele alınmakla birlikte daha çok zamirler ve ef’âl-ı hamse konuları içerisinde yer verilen nûn, mütekellim yâ’sının kelimeye bitiştiği durumlarda kelimenin yapısını korumak ve mana karışıklığını engellemek için getirilmektedir. Dil âlimleri nûnun kelimenin binasını koruma görevini öne çıkarmıştır. Ancak konu incelendiğinde lafzi yönünün yanı sıra manaya etki eden bir boyutunun olduğu da görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla çalışmada bir nûn türü olan nûnü’l-vikâye’nin Arap dili gramerindeki yeri, kapsamı, amacı, kullanımları, diğer nûn türleriyle ilişkisi, manaya etkisi klasik ve modern kaynaklardan yararlanılarak ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada nûnü’l-vikâye fiil, isim ve harf düzleminde incelenmiştir. Vikâye nûnunun Kur’an ve hadis gibi nakli deliller ışığında kullanımlarına yer verilmiştir. Ancak çalışmanın sınırlılıklar çerçevesinde tüm kullanımlara değinilmemiş, konu belirli örnekler üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Buradan hareketle Kur’an’da vikâye nûnunun ifadeyi tekit etmek için geldiği yerlerin olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca nûnü’l-vikâye’nin varlığı ve yokluğu düşünüldüğünde bazı sigaların, isim ile fiilin ve fiil ile harfin karışma ihtimali bulunmaktadır. Bu yüzden çalışmada nûnü’l-vikâye’nin hem lafız hem de mana boyutu üzerinde durulmuştur.
Cerh ve Taʻdîl İlminde Kesîrü’l-Galat Kavramı
Authors: Kalkan Yorulmaz Nilüfer
Published: June 2023

Bir isnadın sıhhatinin tespitinde en önemli kriterlerden biri râvînin hadis rivâyeti açısından ehil olup olmadığının belirlenmesidir. Cerh ve taʻdîl ilminde ise râvînin ehliyetinin belirlenmesi için adâlet ve zabt durumunun tespit edilmesi gerekmektedir. Dolayısıyla nâkilin adâlet ve zapt durumunun tespitinde bazı kavramların kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Bu kavramlardan beş tanesi râvînin adaletine, beş tanesi ise zabtına delâlet etmektedir. Çalışmamızda ise ilk dönemlerden itibaren kullanılan ancak İbn Hacer (ö. 852/1149) tarafından bir kaide olarak zabt kusurlarından sayılan kesîrü’l-galat kavramının ele alınması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda zikri geçen kavramın mahiyeti, özellikleri ve kapsamı öncelikle konuyla ilgili vazʻ edilen kaidelerden hareketle anlaşılmaya çalışılacaktır. Ardından ricâl kaynaklarında, kesîrü’l-galat diye nitelenen râvîlerin durumlarından hareket edilecektir. Böylece kaide ve pratik arasındaki uyum ortaya konulabileceği gibi usule yansımayan durumların tespiti de yapılabilecektir. Ayrıca bir râvînin kesîrü’l-galat diye nitelenmesi için ne kadar çok hata yapması gerektiği nicelik ve nitelik açısından ortaya konulacaktır. Bunun yanında yine râvîlerin kesîrü’l-galat diye nitelenmesine sebebiyet veren galatta ısrar, ihtilat gibi zamanla kayıtlı hâller, bazı rivâyetlerde hataya düşme ve ashâbü’l-hadîsle bir arada olmama hususu açıklanacaktır. Kavramın bir kaide olarak ele alınışı usul ve ilel türü eserler bağlamında yapılmaya çalışılacaktır. Ricâl değerlendirmelerinde ise kesîrü’l-galat diye nitelenen râvîler İbn Hacer’in Tehzîbü’t-tehzîb ve Takrîbü’t-tehzîb isimli eserinden hareketle incelenecektir. Ayrıca Mizzî’nin (ö. 749/1348) Tehzîbü’l-kemâl’indeki râvîler de kesîrü’l-galat kavramı bağlamında incelenecek, akabinde bu râvîlerin cerh ve taʻdîl açısından ehliyeti tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
Construcción participativa de políticas públicas. Una propuesta metodológica a partir de un caso en Ecuador
Authors: Ordóñez León Andrea Paulina , Muñoz Sotomayor Verónica Alexandra , Costa de los Reyes Claudia Gabriela
Published: June 2023

La gestión territorial y la planificación urbana se ejecutan mediante políticas públicas construidas a través de procesos participativos que involucran a una serie de actores. El Ministerio de Desarrollo Urbano y Vivienda del Ecuador propuso espacios participativos denominados “HUB en territorio” para la construcción de la Agenda del Hábitat Sostenible 2036. Por la emergencia sanitaria, dichos espacios se realizaron de manera virtual. En este artículo, se presenta una propuesta metodológica con base en una de las mesas técnicas desarrolladas como parte de dicho proceso; tales mesas contaron con tres fases: discusión, organización y análisis de información, y resultados. Se aplicaron técnicas de investigación cualitativa para llegar a una propuesta de líneas de acción, basada en la identificación de problemáticas y estrategias derivadas de la participación de los actores. Se evidencia la efectividad de la metodología planteada a fin de lograr que los resultados sean producto de un ejercicio colectivo.
O autoritarismo eterno e o Brasil do século XXI
Authors: D Araujo Maria Celina
Published: June 2023

O ensaio aborda a ascensão e queda dos governos do Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT (2003-2016) e discute como a perspectiva autoritária foi subestimada no Brasil até a eleição de Jair Bolsonaro em 2018. Nosso argumento é o de que a chegada do PT ao poder em 2003, e seu consequente sucesso no governo, foram interpretados, por grande parte da bibliografia acadêmica, como resultante de um projeto nacional autóctone que logrou criar um partido inovador (o PT) a partir de uma sociedade ativa que se organizava. O ensaio destaca que ao salientar as qualidades da democracia petista deixou-se em segundo plano a força subterrânea e latente do longevo autoritarismo brasileiro – o autoritarismo eterno, plagiando Umberto Eco - que surpreendeu a todos em 2018 com a eleição de Jair Bolsonaro.
Cultura y poder simbólico en la construcción de las políticas públicas ambientales
Authors: Galeano Lozano Myriam del Carmen
Published: June 2023

En este artículo analizamos la influencia de la cultura y su poder simbólico, tanto en las decisiones políticas como en la elaboración de los lineamientos de las políticas públicas ambientales. A partir de una revisión de esos lineamientos en los escenarios de las cumbres y conferencias mundiales sobre el medio ambiente, evidenciamos la ausencia de cuestionamiento de la cultura occidental capitalista, cuyos valores condicionan comportamientos humanos que han llevado a la actual problemática ambiental. Al mismo tiempo exponemos las razones y el modo al que apela la sociedad civil, y sobre todo las nuevas generaciones, para cuestionar este modelo cultural y proponer construcciones de nuevos fundamentos sociales y filosóficos para transitar hacia una alternativa sociocultural. Como ejemplo de alternativa a los modelos hegemónicos señalamos el buen vivir o sumak kawsay, cosmogonía que prioriza la interrelación, los códigos de conducta ética y espiritual en la relación con el entorno, por encima de los patrones consumistas de desarrollo.
Un diálogo con los clásicos, a propósito del libro de José Luis Méndez “Políticas públicas. Enfoque estratégico para América Latina”
Authors: Fontaine Guillaume
Published: June 2023

La publicación del libro de José Luis Méndez, Políticas públicas. Enfoque estratégico para América Latina, da la oportunidad de revisar algunos autores clásicos de los estudios de políticas públicas para entender la realidad latino-americana. Este diálogo con Max Weber, Harold D. Lasswell, Aaron Wildavsky y B. Guy Peters, entre otros, echa una luz nueva sobre la formulación e implementación de políticas, a partir de la “toma estratégica de decisión”, que el autor conceptualizó en obras anteriores. Este artículo presenta una síntesis de los capítulos y de las principales ideas que estructuran el libro, antes de entablar una discusión entre el enfoque estratégico de análisis de políticas y el marco analítico del diseño de políticas públicas. Luego ofrece unas breves reflexiones sobre la contribución del libro para la acción colectiva en América Latina. Se analiza el aporte de la toma estratégica de decisión al diseño de políticas públicas, en en particular para superar la dicotomía entre estudios básicos y aplicados de las políticas públicas. Finalmente se discute la importancia de incorporar la evaluación al modelo contingente de toma de decisión, como una actividad de aprendizaje orientada a la mejora continua de las decisiones por el gobierno.

Yemek yeme eylemi insan hayatı için vazgeçilmezdir. Hayatını idame ettirmek için sadece insan değil diğer canlılar da yeme eyleminde bulunur. İnsan hayatında ise bu eylemin bir de kültürel boyutu vardır. Bir noktadan sonra yemek, insanın damak zevki için bir ihtiyaç haline gelmekte ve etrafında bir kültür oluşturmaktadır. Aynı zamanda içinde bulunulan toplumun kültürü de söz konusu yiyeceklere / içeceklere yansımaktadır. İnsan yaşamındaki önemli günlerde ve geçiş dönemlerinde yemek ve mutfak kültürüne ait unsurlar her zaman yer almıştır. Mutfak kültürüne ait ögeler, konusunu insandan alan edebiyat ürünlerinde de yer almaktadır. “Türk Âşık Sanatı” dairesinde ürünler oluşturan âşık edebiyatı temsilcileri de eserlerinde mutfak kültürünü, yiyecek ve içecekleri konu edinmişlerdir. İlk örneklerine 14. yüzyılda rastlanan yemek konulu şiirlere cumhuriyet devri âşıklarında da sıkça rastlanılır. Daha çok yemek destanları olarak oluşturulan bu eserlerde yemeklerin kökeni, yapılışı, lezzeti gibi konulara değinilir ve çoğunlukla mizahî bir üslup sezilir. Bu çalışmada da Develili Âşık Ali Çatak’ın Pastırma, Mantı Destanı ve Yemekler Geçidi başlıklı üç şiiri esas alınarak ve başka şiirlerinden de bazı örnekler sunularak âşık edebiyatında mutfak kültürünün yansımaları incelenmiştir. Bu sırada yemek, yiyecek-içecek kültürü ve mutfak kültürü kavramları üzerinde de durulmuş bunların kültür dünyamız üzerindeki etkileri ve yeri tartışılmıştır. İnceleme sonucunda âşıkların kültür taşıyıcı rolleri bir kez daha dikkatlere sunulmuştur. Mutfak kültürüne ait ögelerin âşıklarca işlenmesi kültür aktarımına uygun bir örnek teşkil etmektedir.
SARAY GELENEKLERİNE GÖRE: VELÂDET-İ HÜMÂYUN
Authors: NURDAN Semiha
Published: June 2023

“Velâdet-i Hümâyun” sarayda gerçekleşen doğumlar için kullanılan isimdir. Doğum sarayda olduğunda, doğum hazırlığı ve doğum sonrası kutlamaları da ihtişamlı olmaktaydı. Osmanlı sarayında padişah çocuklarının doğumlarıyla ilgili yapılan tüm törenler Velâdet-i Hümâyun merasimi adı ile deftere kayıt edilirdi. Hanedan üyesi olan şehzade veya sultanların doğum haberi ilan edilir ve halkı haberdar etmek için top ve tüfek atışları yapılırdı. Loğusa odasının hazırlanması büyük ve hummalı bir hazırlık süreci gerektirdiğinden bunlarla valide sultan bizzat kendisi ilgilenirdi. Kutlamalar sadece sarayda değil aynı zamanda halk arasında da büyük bir coşku ile karşılanırdı. Hatta eğlencelerin halk üzerindeki etkisine bakılıp birkaç gün daha uzatıldığı olmuştur.
Osmanlı devlet geleneğinin bir parçası olan kayıt tutma geleneği bu hususta bize çok önemli veriler sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada TS.MA.d 974 numaralı defter içerisinde yer alan bilgilerden hareketle doğum hazırlıklarını ele alacağız. Tarihsiz olan bu defterdeki bilgilere göre, Velâdet-i Hümâyun için hareme teslim edilen eşya ve mücevherat, kadınefendi için yaptırılan elbiseler, ebe kadına ve cariyelere verilen inam ve ihsanları değerlendireceğiz. Bu konuda Osmanlı Sarayında yapılan doğum öncesi ve doğum sonrası hazırlıkların ne olduğu hususu incelenecektir. Saray hayatına yakından bakıldığında düğünler ve doğumların ayrı bir yeri olduğu görülmektedir. Özellikle Osmanlı Sarayı söz konusu ise bu ihtişam ve şatafat göz dolduran bir boyuttadır. Yapılan bu hazırlığın maliyetinin ne olduğu irdelenecek ve yaklaşık bir maliyet çıkarılacaktır.
A Pilot Study For Developing an Adolescent Smoking Cessation Program Based on Emotional and Motivational Factors v1
Authors: Eko Fitrianto Mohammad
Published: June 2023

This pilot study aims to explore the effect of emotional and motivational factors on peer support in the context of developing adolescent smoking prevention programs. Although it has potential for development, the use of emotional and motivational factors in adolescent smoking prevention is still limited. Moreover, this study was designed specifically in the context of the classroom setting, where adolescents generally spend most of their time. Two types of questionnaires were used as instruments to collect data in the two studies. The first one was used in Study I to collect information about students' opinions on cigarettes and smoking activities. The second type was used in Study II to examine the effect of emotional and motivational factors on peer support. For study replication needs, we provide a study protocol. This protocol describes a process starting from study preparation to data collection. The current study was focused on students located in Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The entire data collection process was carried out in 2021 - 2022. Participants who participated in this study were: 1) male or female students, 2) Registered as class XI students, and 3) Aged between 15 - 17 years old. The participant was recruited from public and nonpublic high schools where the study is located. Before the study was carried out, we contacted several high schools in Palembang to ask for their availability. Among the three candidates, one high school expressed its willingness to participate (high school A). The data collection method used is an online self-administrated survey (e.g. Google Form). The data collection process also involved the homeroom teacher, who helped distribute the online questionnaire link.

This is a basic protocol for staining mouse brain tissues using immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry techniques.
AFOG v1
Authors: not provided joana.antunes
Published: June 2023

Staining technique largely used to diagnose ischemic cardiac lesions and kidney diseases, in particular the regeneration or scarring of the lesion. The selectivity in this method is due to the different affinity degrees between dyes and the macromolecules of the tissue. A key role is played by phosphomolybdic acid, which acts as a binding agent between tissue structures (collagen, fibrils, cell membranes) and aniline blue (amphoteric dye). Orange G, which is the second component of an AFOG solution, has no affinity for phosphomolybdic acid, and this is why it is used to stain all remaining structures. Acid fuchsin, conversely, dyes any protein deposits selectively.

Published: June 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo compreender como os extrativistas da Reserva Rio Preto Jacundá estão inseridos na cadeia produtiva da Castanha-do-Brasil (Bertholletia excelsa). A Castanha-do-Brasil é um dos principais produtos extrativos da Amazônia e o desenvolvimento da cadeia produtiva é um caminho para os produtores florestais alcançarem renda e inclusão para as famílias da região. Para melhor compreensão do tema foram utilizadas as teorias da cadeia produtiva, Sustentabilidade e o Extrativismo em reservas extrativistas. Com metodologia qualitativa, abordagem exploratória-descritiva e natureza aplicada, por meio de um estudo de caso. Os dados foram coletados com nove extrativistas e dois cerealistas de Machadinho D’Oeste. Os resultados apontaram queda da produção da Castanha-do-Brasil, e renda insuficiente para as famílias. A principal relação que beneficia os extrativistas é a Associação, com recursos provenientes do projeto de carbono e do plano de manejo, auxiliando os extrativistas associados com transporte, casas e outros benefícios. A pesquisa é relevante em termos teóricos, baseado no aporte teórico e nos dados da pesquisa de campo, pelo avanço na compreensão da cadeia produtiva da Castanha-do-Brasil, e inserção dos extrativistas nela, e pela construção do framework do fluxo da cadeia na RRPJ. E, na prática, permitiu compreender que a produção de Castanha-do-Brasil na RRPJ é uma realidade, doze famílias trabalham no extrativismo desse produto e se beneficiam da cadeia.

Authors: Haubrich Deise Bitencourt , Gomes Isabel Sparrenberger , Froehlich Cristiane , Nodari Cristine Hermann
Published: June 2023

Diante da elevada quantidade de recursos consumidos e resíduos gerados pela indústria da construção civil, a busca por sistemas construtivos que levem em consideração os aspectos do desenvolvimento sustentável de forma equilibrada se torna legítima. Novos estudos podem elevar o nível das discussões acerca da disseminação de produtos sustentáveis. O objetivo da pesquisa consiste em verificar através da Teoria da Difusão da Inovação, sob o ponto de vista do empreendedor, em qual situação o sistema construtivo Light Steel Frame se encontra atualmente no mercado.  Foi realizado um estudo de caso único em uma empresa situada na Região do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, no Rio Grande do Sul, com foco em construções sustentáveis. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os gestores da empresa com o intuito de saber, pelo ponto de vista do empreendedor, como o produto está posicionado em relação aos seus consumidores. Os resultados indicam que as construções em Light Steel Frame contemplam as dimensões do tripé da sustentabilidade, e no que se refere a difusão da inovação, se encontram em um intervalo entre os grupos de adotantes iniciais e maioria precoce, intitulado como “abismo”. Ao investigar um produto específico (Light Steel Frame) que faz parte de um mercado importante para a economia do país, sob o prisma de teorias como a da Difusão da Inovação e o Triple Bottom Line, o trabalho fomenta a discussão sobre a sustentabilidade e gera evidências a respeito do status do produto em relação a sua disseminação no mercado local.

Previsão do preço do carbono por modelos de aprendizado de máquina
Authors: Kanda Jorge Yoshio , Carvalho André Carlos Ponce de Leon Ferreira de
Published: June 2023

Controlar e reduzir as emissões de gases de efeito estufa são ações necessárias para evitar as possíveis consequências provenientes das mudanças climáticas. Neste contexto, o mercado de carbono tem grande relevância, principalmente, para países em desenvolvimento como o Brasil que possui uma imensa riqueza ambiental com a sua Floresta Amazônica. O propósito deste estudo é identificar conjuntos de dados de sustentabilidade a serem usados por modelos preditivos de aprendizado de máquina (AM) capazes de estimar com a maior precisão possível o preço do carbono praticado no mercado mundial. Em nossos experimentos computacionais, algoritmos foram implementados a partir de diferentes algoritmos de AM, sendo usados como parâmetros de entrada diversos conjuntos de dados. Os resultados obtidos mostram que dados amazônicos parecem ter uma relação direta com o preço do carbono praticado no mercado mundial. Um procedimento de seleção de atributos foi aplicado na união dos conjuntos dos dados amazônicos que também foi submetido aos mesmos modelos de AM para verificar se há melhorias no desempenho preditivo. Portanto, havendo uma estimativa precisa do preço do carbono e o Brasil regulamentando as regras para o comércio do carbono, a Região Amazônica tende a ser beneficiada com ganhos significativos nos aspectos ambientais, econômicos e sociais.

Within the Ukrainian sector of the Black Sea, the Albian-Cenomanian rift faults formed three large rift basins, which consisted of a system of grabens and half-grabens. One of the sublatitude rift basins occupied the modern Karkinit Trough, Krylov-Zmiiny Uplift, Gubkin Ridge and the Sulina Depression on the Odesa Shelf. The second sublatitude basin occupied the modern Tetyaev High, Sorokin Trough, Marine Continuation of the Crimean Folds and, apparently, the Crimean Mountains. The third rift basin extended from the northwest to the southeast and encompassed the Euxinian Graben, Andrusov Ridge, Eastern Black Sea Basin, and Shatskiy High. The greatest depth of the base of the rift sequence is observed in the central part of the Western Black Sea Basin, where it is 15.5–16.5 km. In the Eastern Black Sea basin, the maximum depth is 12.5–13.5 km. The shallowest depths of the base of the rift sequence are characteristic of the Kalamit Swell and the Marine Continuation of the Crimean Folds. During the Cenozoic phases of compression, almost all rift (half)grabens underwent intense folding and vertical movements from several hundreds of meters to 4–5 km. At the same time, most of the rift faults underwent partial or complete inversion.

Published: June 2023

The manuscript covers some methodological issues related to the development of Ukrainian university students’ discourse-oriented translation competence in Chinese and English as foreign languages at the State Institution “South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushynsky”, Odesa, Ukraine (Ushynsky University). Against the backdrop of the competence-based curriculum design for training translators, this research is aimed at investigating the structure of the discourse-oriented translation competence and possible means that contribute to its development within specialized translator training in Chinese and English majors. The importance of the study is actualized through the analysis of translation competence models which can be applied to different professional spheres alongside teaching methods and technologies that can provide for students’ academic success. In this perspective, the discourse-oriented translation competence indices as well as evaluation criteria of students’ proficiency level (excellent, sufficient, satisfactory, and low) were determined. The authors used the research tools as follows: the methods of systemic and content-based analyses to examine and generalize the theoretical foundation for the topic under focus, to systemize the outcomes of the study; focused observation using two similar multiple-choice questionnaires and the register as tools for data collecting in three groups of bachelor students majoring in Translation Studies (Chinese/English major and Chinese/English minor) and one group of Chinese/English teachers at the platform of Ushynsky University.
