Placing your faith on the betting floor: Religiosity predicts disordered gambling via gambling fallacies
Authors: Kim Hyoun S. , Shifrin Alexandra , Sztainert Travis , Wohl Michael J. A.
Published: April 2018

Background and aims

We examined the potential role religious beliefs may play in disordered gambling. Specifically, we tested the idea that religiosity primes people to place their faith in good fortune or a higher power. In the context of gambling, however, this may lead to gambling fallacies (e.g., erroneous beliefs that one has control over a random outcome). People who are high in religiosity may be more at risk of developing gambling fallacies, as they may believe that a higher power can influence a game of chance. Thus, this research investigated the relationship between religiosity and gambling problems and whether gambling fallacies mediated this relationship.

Methods

In Study 1, we recruited an online sample from Amazon's Mechanical Turk to complete measures that assessed the central constructs (religiosity, disordered gambling, and gambling fallacies). In Study 2, we conducted a secondary analysis of a large data set of representative adults (N = 4,121) from a Canadian province, which contained measures that assessed the constructs of interest.

Results

In Study 1, religiosity significantly predicted gambling problem. Conversely, there was no direct relationship between religiosity and gambling in Study 2. Importantly, a significant indirect effect of religiosity on disordered gambling severity through gambling fallacies was found in both studies, thus establishing mediation. The results remained the same when controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status for both studies.

Discussion and conclusion

These findings suggest religiosity and its propensity to be associated with gambling fallacies, which should be considered in the progression (and possibly treatment) of gambling.
Secondary predication and the distribution of raising to object
Authors: den Dikken Marcel
Published: April 2018

In Den Dikken (2017b) arguments are presented for a predicational approach to hyperraising and copy raising constructions in which the ‘raised’ DP serves as the subject of the matrix clause. In this sequel, I show that hyperraising and copy raising also occur in secondary predication constructions embedded under propositional attitude verbs such asconsider. An examination of the properties of these hyperraising and copy raising to object constructions leads to the conclusion that overt subject-toobject raising (‘object shift’) definitely exists in English but is obligatory only for subjects of small-clause complements of verbs. Apart from yielding a clearer perspective on the distribution of overt object shift in English, the study also delivers a unified account of a variety of restrictions on the subject of the non-finite complement of propositional attitude verbs.
Resultative constructions in Uyghur as verbal adjunction
Authors: Tash Ahmatjan , Sugar Alexander
Published: April 2018

This paper analyzes resultative constructions in Uyghur as an adjunction relationship between two verbal projections. Uyghur resultatives differ from previously analyzed resultatives, including those in typologically related Altaic languages (see Shibagaki 2011), in that both predicates must match share a subject. One verb encodes a resultative meaning while the other elaborates the manner of achieving the result state, but the ordering is flexible. The only ordering requirement is that the final verb and the object form a telic verb constellation. The unique structure of this construction points to the conclusion that the notion of ‘resultative construction’ does not correspond to any specific syntactic structure crosslinguistically.
Use of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Cancer: Practical Considerations for the Management of Patients with Nausea or Vomiting

Published: April 2018

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have proven efficacy and safety and are approved for use in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and those with atrial fibrillation (AF). There is no clear guidance on the use of DOACs in the significant proportion of these patients who have or will develop concomitant cancer. The occurrence of nausea and vomiting in these patients, despite implementation of guideline-recommended antiemetic strategies, is a particular concern because it may affect oral drug intake and consequently outcomes with anticoagulation therapy.

Here, we review recent data on the incidence and management of cancer-associated nausea and vomiting and the current evidence and guidance relating to the use of DOACs in patients with cancer. On the basis of this evidence, an international working group of experts in the fields of cancer-associated thrombosis/hemostasis, hematology, and oncology discussed key issues related to the use of DOACs in patients with VTE or AF and cancer who are at risk of nausea and vomiting and developed some consensus recommendations. We present these consensus recommendations, which outline strategies for the use and management of anticoagulants, including DOACs, in patients with VTE or AF and cancer for whom oral drug intake may pose challenges. Guidance is provided on managing patients with gastrointestinal obstruction or nausea and vomiting that is caused by cancer treatments or other cancer-related factors.

The recommendations outlined in this review provide a useful reference for health care professionals and will help to improve the management of anticoagulation in patients with VTE or AF and cancer.

Implications for Practice

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) offer several advantages over traditional anticoagulants, including ease of administration and the lack of need for routine monitoring. However, the management of patients with an indication for anticoagulation and concomitant cancer, who are at high risk of thromboembolic events, presents several challenges for administering oral therapies, particularly with regard to the risk of nausea and vomiting. In the absence of robust data from randomized trials and specific guidelines, consensus recommendations were developed for healthcare professionals regarding the use of DOACs in patients with cancer, with a focus on the management of patients who are at risk of nausea and vomiting.
Numerical modelling of integral abutment bridges under seasonal thermal cycles
Authors: Caristo Andrea , Barnes Jeremy , Mitoulis Stergios A.
Published: April 2018

Interest in integral abutment bridges (IABs) from the industry has increased in recent years. IABs are robust bridges without joints and bearings and hence they are durable and virtually maintenance free; moreover, the resulting cost-saving associated with their construction is significant, a fact that makes IABs appealing to agencies, contractors and consultants. However, their use in long-span bridges is limited by the complex soil–structure interaction. Thermal movements, horizontal loads and dynamic actions are transferred directly to the backfill soil, leading to settlements, ratcheting effects, high earth pressures and deterioration of the backfill soil. The longer the integral bridge the greater the challenge, as movements are increased. This paper provides an extended review of the techniques used in the international literature and in practice to alleviate the interaction between a bridge abutment and the backfill. Subsequently, the performance of an innovative isolation system for IABs using recycled tyres as a compressible inclusion is studied using detailed numerical models of a representative three-span IAB. The proposed isolation scheme was found to be an effective and sustainable method to isolate the structure from the backfill soil, reducing the pressures experienced by the abutments and the residual vertical displacements of the backfill soil.
Winter monitoring of damaged bridges: learning from the December 2015 floods in Cumbria, UK
Authors: Mathews Richard , Hardman Martin
Published: April 2018

The December 2015 storms resulted in unprecedented damage to bridges in Northern England, UK. In Cumbria, the inspection of lower-priority structures was then delayed by continuing high water levels and the need to prioritise scarce diving resources to the repair works. Thus, full inspections were not completed until after the end of the summer river access period, leaving over 180 bridges that could not be repaired because rising river levels prevented safe access. This paper describes the risk-based strategy adopted to manage the monitoring and urgent repair of damaged bridges during the winter of 2016/2017. The strategy combined the engineering assessment of bridge condition and catchment-based river-level informatics to provide duty engineers with timely warning of river flows deemed likely to cause further risk, thus enabling them to call out inspection and maintenance engineers to assess the risks on-site and, where necessary, assure public safety by initiating bridge closures. The lessons learnt from the implementation of this strategy on this 10% sample of Cumbria’s bridge stock will be used to inform the selection of measures for resilience against the effects of climate change and to develop county-wide emergency preparedness processes for all the highways network structures.
Ranking statistically similar highway travel corridors using speed datasets within the USA
Authors: Brennan Thomas M , Day Christopher M , Volovski Matthew
Published: April 2018

Commercially available probe vehicle speed data are becoming a reliable means to evaluate roadway performance within the United States of America (USA). These temporally defined data are used to identify roadway congestion along fixed-location, variable-length highway segments called traffic message channels (TMC). Current performance measures that define congestion as an increase in travel time are inherently skewed towards longer, arbitrarily defined segments. To overcome this limitation, this paper defined congestion as the relative travel time increase, a performance measure that directly accounts for the variation in TMC lengths. Next, concurrent TMC with statistically similar levels of congestion were grouped into corridors. The resulting corridors provide a more accurate assessment of regional congestion, simplify data collection and analysis and allow agencies to compare congestion across different highway segments. The proposed methodology was applied to 83 TMCs along Interstate 80 East in New Jersey, USA. The 83 TMCs had in excess of 30 million speed records in 2013 for the AM peak period that were grouped into over 300 000 15 min intervals. An analysis of variance of time intervals indicated that the 83 TMCs could be grouped into 34 corridors. The congestion along each corridor was then characterised and visualised.
Da coexistência à existência: a cidade Santuário de Canindé-CE
Authors: Lima Francisco John Lennon Alves Paixão , Lima Maria Das Graças de
Published: April 2018

O presente artigo analisa a cidade de Canindé-CE a partir das experiências cotidianas de seus citadinos, o que deu origem a duas perspectivas distintas, porém complementares acerca da referida cidade: a coexistência de duas cidades ‒ a cidade habitual e a cidade do romeiro ‒ condicionando a existência da cidade de Canindé-CE, cada uma com suas respectivas características, porém interrelacionadas. Ou seja, essas duas cidades proporcionam no tempo e no espaço a manutenção da cidade santuário de Canindé-CE, de suas atividades e de seu comércio. Como referencial teórico, utilizou-se da dissertação de mestrado intitulada "Canindé é quando dé: trabalho e recompensa" de autoria de Lima (2016), considerando ainda outras leituras do arcabouço da Geografia Cultural, especialmente da coleção "Geografia Cultural" de organização de Zeny Rosendahl e Roberto Lobato Correa. Valeu-se, portanto, da reflexão e problematização desta dissertação à produção deste artigo, sobretudo do conteúdo relacionado ao tema proposto. A coexistência de ambas cidades é necessária à manutenção das atividades religiosas na cidade santuário de Canindé-CE. Tais cidades estão interrelacionadas e coabitam o imaginário popular. São cidades frutos das experiências construídas por cada grupo de indivíduos (moradores e romeiros), dentro de suas respectivas atividades e função social.
Migração, identidade e políticas de desenvolvimento: configurações da formação social em uma cidade da Amazônia Legal Brasileira
Authors: Araújo de Oliveira Natália
Published: April 2018

Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir a formação de identidades sociais a partir da migração de grupos no contexto das políticas de desenvolvimento para a Amazônia Legal Brasileira. Para tanto, baseia-se em pesquisa empírica realizada na cidade de Nova Xavantina/MT. Este município foi oficialmente construído a partir de duas formas de ocupação oficiais e, anterior a esses processos, já havia na região indígenas da etnia Xavante. A primeira forma de ocupação veio com a migração de nordestinos durante a Marcha para Oeste, um projeto nacionalista criado pelo presidente Vargas em 1938. A fim de incentivar a migração, o governo transformou estes migrantes em heróis nacionais, que, com valores de coragem e força, iriam ao interior do país para desbravá-lo. Durante a ditadura militar brasileira, gaúchos migraram para a cidade a partir de políticas de colonização que afirmavam que somente eles, filhos de imigrantes e por isso possuidores de valores inatos de trabalho e progresso, poderiam desenvolver o Centro-Oeste brasileiro. É importante ainda dizer que os Xavante foram transformados pelo governo Vargas em símbolo do verdadeiro índio brasileiro e vistos pelo governo militar como obstáculo ao desenvolvimento nacional. A partir do histórico de migração desses grupos se percebe claramente relações de dominação na qual o governo se utilizou de características ditas “inatas” para incentivar a migração e se apropriar do território indígena.
Mulheres imigrantes alemãs no Rio Grande do Sul: uma análise das construções e discursos
Authors: Ritter Samanta
Published: April 2018

O presente trabalho está inserido no projeto de pesquisa Imigrantes em ação: organização social e participação política. Estudo comparado sobre a imigração no Brasil, Argentina e Chile – séculos XIX e XX e está vinculado ao Núcleo de Estudos Teuto-brasileiros (NETB) da Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS). No campo da História da Imigração, as pesquisas que discutem sobre as mulheres precisam ser exploradas a fim de reconhecer as particularidades e contribuições das imigrantes como agentes históricas. Identificar os discursos e concepções que foram elaborados sobre as mulheres imigrantes e descendentes, tanto pela historiografia clássica quanto pela nova historiografia, é necessário para compreender o que é ser mulher imigrante ao longo do século XIX e qual sua participação na sociedade. Com a intenção de contribuir à história das mulheres, serão consultados escritos acerca das imigrantes alemãs que vieram ao Rio Grande do Sul para conhecer e analisar as construções do gênero feminino nos estudos da imigração. Comparar os discursos clássicos com os discursos revisados é significativo, pois além de verificar as mudanças de discursos e concepções, também apontam as lacunas a serem problematizadas.

Authors: Kleinkauf Renan Willam
Published: April 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo observar alguns dos escritos do Pe. Arthur Rabuske S. J., que abordam a temática da imigração alemã no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Durante o tempo em que atuou no mundo acadêmico, Rabuske produziu e traduziu diversos textos de outros historiadores e cronistas jesuítas. A sua vasta produção textual nos permite lançar um olhar atento aos seus trabalhos, especialmente à sua dedicação à historiografia da imigração alemã jesuítica. Para compreendermos o trabalho desenvolvido por este historiador lança-se um primeiro olhar sobre Rabuske enquanto historiador-pesquisador, o qual, ao longo de sua vida acadêmica, se dedicou a pesquisa empírica e a produção de livros e textos que ajudam a compreender de forma mais clara a história da imigração e da Companhia de Jesus no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O segundo olhar desta escrita busca enfocá-lo como historiador, com ênfase na atuação dos padres e irmãos da Companhia de Jesus de cultura germânica atuantes, primeiro na Vice-Província Germânica no Brasil, depois na Província do Brasil Meridional. Assim propõe-se olhar para os escritos do Pe. Arthur Rabuske S.J. como uma fonte para os estudos da imigração alemã no Rio Grande do Sul, ao mesmo tempo que se pode perceber a atuação dos padres jesuítas junto a estes espaços da colonização.
Ketersediaan Uranium Di Indonesia Untuk Memenuhi Kebutuhan Bahan Bakar PLTN
Authors: Bastori Imam , Birmano Moch. Djoko
Published: April 2018

Bahan bakar nuklir merupakan komponen penting PLTN dalam menghasilkan panas. Besarnya kebutuhan bahan bakar nuklir akan mempengaruhi jumlah penyediaan bijih uranium. Demi menjaga keberlangsungan operasi PLTN, sangat penting untuk menjaga keseimbangan kebutuhan dan pasokan uranium. Oleh karena itu, sebelum PLTN dibangun di Indonesia perlu dilakukan analisis ketersediaan uranium, agar dapat dibuat strategi pasokan uranium yang baik. Metoda yang digunakan meliputi mengumpulkan data cadangan uranium di Indonesia, lalu menyusun spread sheet Nuclear Fuel Mass Balance (NFMB) Calculator untuk menghitung jumlah kebutuhan uranium pada setiap tahap siklus bahan bakar nuklir, selanjutnya membandingkan antara kebutuhan riil uranium PLTN dan cadangan uranium yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia. Hasil analisis ini memperlihatkan bahwa PLTN jenis PWR dengan kapasitas 1.000 MWe akan menghasilkan energi listrik sebesar 7.884 GWh dalam setahun. Dengan burn-up 43 GWd/tonU maka kebutuhan bahan bakar nuklir per tahun sekitar 28,93 ton yang didapatkan dari uranium alam U3O8 (yellow cake) sebanyak 244,68 ton atau setara dengan 108.362,2 ton bijih uranium. Dengan cadangan uranium Indonesia 70.000 ton dalam bentuk yellow cake, akan mampu memenuhi kebutuhan bagi 7 unit PLTN dengan kapasitas masing-masing 1.000 MWe yang beroperasi untuk 40 tahun.
"We do not want the Commission to allow the families to disappear into thin air" A consideration of widows' testimonies at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Fariam (Marikana) Commission of Inquiry
Authors: Kros C
Published: April 2018

Using Gayatri Spivak's famous question about whether the "subaltern" can speak, this article addresses the testimonies given to the Fariam Commission of Inquiry by the widows of miners who had been killed in police shootings while engaged in an unprotected strike at Lonmin's platinum mine at Marikana in August 2012. The widows were required to face down the dominant narrative disseminated by mine management and other business as well as state interests, which held that the police had acted in self-defence after the strikers had threatened to attack them. I argue that the widows consciously sought to undo the dominant narrative through their testimonies, assuming the role of a new kind of "political widow" as theorised by Mamphela Ramphele (1996). The article begins with a detailed consideration of the testimony of Sepati Mlangeni whose husband had been murdered by an agent of the apartheid state, delivered to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in the 1990s. This sets the scene for the questions that might be asked and the observations made of the Marikana widows' testimonies presented to the Fariam Commission almost twenty years later.
Boys to men: Narrating life stories of fatherhood and work life amongst young black men
Authors: Langa M
Published: April 2018

This paper details the life stories of young black men, specifically how they negotiate their masculine identities over time. The researcher tracked a group of young black men over a period of nine years, from when they were adolescent boys (between the ages of 13 and 18 years), until they were young adults (between the ages of 23 to 26 years at the time of the writing). The aim of the study was to explore how the participants spoke about their relationships with their fathers as young adolescent boys and how they were now fathers to their own children as young men. At the beginning of the study the participants were given disposable cameras and asked to take 27photos (the total available on the film) under the theme, "My life as a young black man in the new South Africa". The photos undertaken were used to facilitate semi-structured interviews in which the life stories ofwhatitmeantto be a young black man were shared. Between four to fourteen follow-up interviews were conducted with some of the participants. Key themes in the life stories included relationships with mothers, experiences of growing up without fathers, entering the world of work, and being fathers themselves which encouraged them to also reflect about their own relationships with their fathers. It is clear from their experiences that narratives of being a young black man are not static, but continuously change depending on the context, and time. In conclusion, it is argued that these positive voices of masculinities need to be promoted and celebrated.

The Effects of Law Through Actions of Inspections
Authors: Pečarič Mirko
Published: April 2018

Regulated phenomena in changing environments are difficult to manage. Their complexity is many times higher that can usually be embraced in the conventional ways public administrations prepare draft statutes, adjudicate and control other people. The same or even more stands for inspections as public bodies that directly see “regulations in action”, how asymmetries between regulation and implementation arise. Inspection is in the context of executive tasks despite its age a relatively new and poorly understood element of regulatory policies. This paper claims that regulation and enforcement are two sides of the same coin: only “regulation-enforcement” (feed-in) and “enforcement-regulation” (feedback) are the “eyes and ears” of effective regulation. Without the latter, when rules are realistic and adequate for a given context, no amount of enforcement will make unrealistic rules work. At the same time, without the properly administrated enforcement steps, focused on the risk-analysis, risk-management (risk-based strategic planning), monitoring and sufficient resources, no amount of otherwise good regulation will provide expected results.
Oxidation-antioxidant balance in the colon mucosa of rats at different times points after ceftriaxone administration
Authors: Holota Y. , Bazan A. , Tolstanova G.
Published: April 2018

Сeftriaxone administration for 14 days (300 mg/kg, i.m.) increased level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and decreased the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase antioxidant enzymes in the colon mucosa of rats immediately after antibiotics injection. On the 29th day of the experiment (in 14 days after ceftriaxone withdrawal) the level of TBA-active substances still 2.5-fold (P <0.05) exceeded the control value and SOD activity remained below control values to the 72nd day of the experiment. These were accompanied by decreased level of protein thiol groups in 15 and 29 days 1.9-fold (P <0.05) and 1.4-fold (P = 0.08), respectively. Thus antibiotics can lead to long-term oxidative disturbance in the colon mucosa of rats.

Published: April 2018

Background: The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyse the histopathological spectrum of pancreatobiliary tumors with special reference to ampulla of Vater.Methods: The retrospective study was done for 5 years and a prospective study was carried out for 2 years in the Department of Pathology.Results: A total of 110 cases were included; 103 underwent a standard Whipple procedure and 7 underwent localised resection (partial pancreatectomy). The average age was 52.64 years (16-80 years) and males outnumbered females (3:2). Malignant (93.63%) lesions outweighed benign lesions (6.36%). Among malignant lesions, 71 (68.93%) were peri-ampullary, 15 (14.56%) were pancreatic, 11 (10.67%) were duodenal and only 6 (5.825%) were cholangiocarcinoma. The most common presenting feature was jaundice followed by pain in the abdomen. The mean tumor size was 2.38 cm (0.5-15cm). The pathological stage of most of the tumors was T2 (58.2%), followed by T3 (22.7%), T1 (11.8%) and T4 was only 1.8%. Proximal duodenal resection margin was free in 90.9%, distal duodenal resection margin was free in all cases, CBD resection margin was involved in only 2 cases (1.8%), while the pancreatic duct resection margin was involved in 2.7%. The nodal status was N0 in 61.8%, N1 in 23.6% and Nx in 9.1%.Conclusions: Adenocarcinoma (well differentiated-47.3%) is the most common histological variant of pancreatobiliary region.

Published: April 2018

Sarcoma of the breast is a rare condition. The biological differences from other primary breast tumours necessitate a corresponding difference in approach to diagnostic and management strategies. The rarity of the condition has made clinicopathological study difficult. Authors report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma in a 40-yr-old-women, with a 15x9 cm bosselated swelling, involving all 4 quadrants of the left breast. Her clinical features, sonography and trucut biopsy were compatible with cystosarcoma phyllodes and she underwent a left mastectomy for the same. Later the histological and imunohistochemical studies established the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma, grade 2.
La zonificación del riesgo en salud: la fiebre amarilla desde una perspectiva geográfica en La Macarena, departamento del Meta, Colombia
Authors: Niño Larry
Published: April 2018

En este trabajo se zonifica el riesgo de fiebre amarilla en La Macarena (departamento del Meta, Colombia), en función de amenazas ambientales y vulnerabilidades socioeconómicas. Se realizó un estudio ecológico en el que se integraron, en un sistema de información geográfica, datos publicados entre 2007 y 2013 sobre las condiciones del municipio. A través de superposición de capas cartográficas se obtuvieron magnitudes de amenaza y vulnerabilidad proporcionales al grado de severidad. Como resultado se describe la heterogeneidad espacial del riesgo de fiebre amarilla, la cual sugiere que las áreas circundantes a centros poblados, vías y ríos presentan la mayor probabilidad de transmisión. Se concluye que la representación cartográfica de la distribución espacial del riesgo en el municipio constituye un aporte metodológico a la zonificación de riesgos en salud, en espacios geográficos concretos y en función de amenazas y vulnerabilidades, lo cual facilita la toma de decisiones en salud pública.

El estudio abarcó todos los casos confirmados de dengue registrados en el Sistema de Información de Enfermedades de Notificación (SINAN) [Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação] de 1998-2013. Se consideraron como casos importados aquellos cuyo lugar de origen de infección se ubicara fuera de Araraquara. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la distribución de los casos por género, edad y clasificación de casos importados y autóctonos. Se utilizó un sistema de información geográfica para mapear los flujos y estimar las distancias de los puntos de contagio. Se incluyeron 6.913 casos confirmados, de los cuales 419 fueron importados. En la mayoría de estos casos, el origen de infección se ubicó en el estado de San Pablo, además de otras regiones brasileñas. Los resultados indican la relevancia de los casos importados y diferencias en el perfil epidemiológico por edad y sexo. Las conclusiones indican la necesidad de aumentar la vigilancia epidemiológica y de salud ambiental en los puertos, aeropuertos, paradas de camiones y terminales de buses y trenes.

Published: April 2018

Los accidentes de tránsito constituyen un problema emergente en ciudades con alta movilidad y baja planificación urbana. No existe suficiente evidencia en Argentina acerca de la relación entre el entorno y la ocurrencia de accidentes. Por ello, realizamos un análisis espacial de ocurrencia y estimamos el riesgo de ocurrencia de accidentes en el año 2012 y su posible asociación con las características del entorno físico en la ciudad de Resistencia, provincia del Chaco, Argentina. Para el análisis espacial de los accidentes se utilizó la estimación de densidad kernel. Luego, a través de un estudio observacional y analítico se procedió a analizar los factores asociados a la ocurrencia de los accidentes. Los resultados muestran que existen tres zonas críticas (noroeste, centro y sur) con mayor frecuencia de accidentes. Los factores del entorno que estuvieron asociados con la ocurrencia de accidentes fueron la presencia de iluminación vial (23% menor), árbol próximo a la calzada (47% mayor), la presencia de semáforo (28% mayor), avenidas (122% mayor) y disposición curva de la calzada (129% mayor). Este estudio ubica a la ciudad de Resistencia en una situación de vulnerabilidad urbana, no solo por el contexto socioeconómico donde se encuentra sino por el desigual desarrollo territorial que presenta respecto a las ciudades vecinas, que propicia un entorno desfavorable.

Turizm
endüstrisi her geçen gün yenilik anlayışı doğrultusunda teknolojiye daha da
entegre olarak, küresel otomasyon sistemleri aracılığı ile turist
hareketliliklerini bireysel boyuttan toplumsal boyuta farklı katmanlar halinde
kayıt altına alarak turizm olayına katılanların izlenmesine daha şeffaf bir
biçimde olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu durum gözetim toplumu olarak adlandırılan ve
insanların izlenerek toplumsal güvenliğin sağlanması adı altında kısmen
yönlendirilmesine de sebebiyet vermektedir. Öte yandan gözetim, turizm
endüstrisi için bir sorun niteliği taşıyan müşterinin sadakatini sağlama
hususunda önemli bir strateji unsuru olmaya da başlamıştır.  Bu çalışmanın amacı gözetim toplumu
kavramının turizm endüstrisinin geleceğinde nasıl bir role sahip olacağının,
işletmelerin yönetimsel ilkeleri içerisinde nasıl yer edineceğinin analizini
yapmaktır. Bu bağlamda ilgili alan literatürü taranmış ve kavramsal bir

Authors: Kahraman Umran Munire , Iyit Neslihan
Published: April 2018

In this study, performances of LAD regression, M-regression, Q25 and Q75 quantile regression models as robust regression methods alternative to the classical LS method are compared in the case of violations from the normality assumption of the error terms and the presence of an outlier. By using these alternative regression methods, stock prices of the 12 commercial banks and 1 participation bank listed in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST) bank index between 2012 and 2016 are investigated in terms of equity size and equity profitability. As a result of this study, M-regression is the most suitable robust regression model with the smallest value of the mean squared error (MSE) measure and the small values for the standard errors of the parameter estimates belonging to the equity size and equity profitability. The smaller the standard errors of the parameter estimates, the narrower the resulting confidence intervals are obtained in M- regression. The accuracy as a measure of closeness of parameter estimates to the true values of the parameters is also obtained higher in M-regression.
