Dreck und Menschen. Das menschliche Subjekt und sein Abfall als Teil von Netzwerken verteilter Handlungsträger in Christoph Ransmayrs „Morbus Kitahara“ und Karen Duves „Regenroman“
Authors: Janssens Hanne
Published: August 2023

Mit Erkenntnissen aus dem Bereich des material ecocriticism untersucht der vorliegende Artikel, wie sich die menschlichen Subjekte in Christoph Ransmayrs Morbus Kitahara und Karen Duves Regenroman, zu ihrer dynamischen materiellen Umwelt verhalten. Die literarische Imagination ermöglicht uns, die Verbundenheit von Mensch, Müll und Natur anzuerkennen, indem sich das menschliche Subjekt als Teil von Netzwerken verteilter Handlungsträger herausstellt, die notwendigerweise Abfälle und Überreste miteinbegreifen.

Traditionell wurde die vermeintliche Überlegenheit des Menschen durch dualistisches Denken erreicht: Kulturelle Aktivitäten wurden der Kategorie des Aktiven zugeordnet, während die materielle Umwelt als passiv gesehen wurde. In beiden Romanen werden Zwischenfiguren eingeführt, die dem Dualismus entkommen und so die Verflechtung mit ihrer Umwelt veranschaulichen. Darüber hinaus wird das dualistische Denken auch dadurch destabilisiert, dass die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Materialität des menschlichen Körpers gelenkt wird.

Some Reflections on the Use and the Meaning of the Sign lugal in Urartian Inscriptions
Authors: Bonfanti Annarita S.
Published: August 2023

The present article is focused on an analysis of the distribution of the Sumerograms man and lugal in Urartian inscriptions: since they are found in very specific situations, with only one of the two directly referring to the Urartian king, it is likely that they should be intended not as synonyms, but rather as concealing two slightly different meanings. After a brief introduction focused on the use of the two Sumerograms in Assyrian royal titularies, especially in the ones used as models by the Urartians, the paper will focus on the use of the Sumerograms in Urartian inscriptions, concluding with an analysis of an Urartian text on clay tablet, whose translation is still debated.
On the Periphery of the Clerical Community of Old Babylonian Ur
Authors: Cavigneaux Antoine , Clevenstine Emmert
Published: August 2023

We offer transliterations, translations, and autograph copies of three Old Babylonian tablets held by the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire (MAH) in Geneva. MAH 15899 adds a new name to the roster of temple administrators in Ur, and leads us to propose a new interpretation of the year-name Rīm-Sîn IIa. MAH 16042 concerns a second son of the Uqqû first recognized in MAH 15896. MAH 15953 extends the family tree of the well-known Balamunamḫe of Larsa and connects the family with the religious life of the city. It probably postdates Samsu-iluna’s reconquest of Ur (Si 10) but it is difficult to say by how long. The witness lists of the tablets are intertwined with each other and with tablets from scientific excavations. These interrelationships reflect a common origin in Ur, and permit speculation about the location of the site from which they were plundered for the antiquities market.
Combining Historical Narrative Forms and the Immersion of Exhibition Visitors. Approaches and Experiences from the Luxembourg “Remix” Project
Authors: Tschacher Werner
Published: August 2023

The paper describes and analyzes the experiences of the Luxembourg-based research project “Remixing Industrial Pasts in the Digital Age” (2019–2024) and its four individual component projects. Combining different forms of digital historical storytelling can generate proximity and immersion for visitors. The creation of immersion results from a technically sophisticated, authentic-looking, and emotionally appealing presentation of biographies, spaces and historical themes. By means of digitally supported productions, the boundaries between facts and fiction, artistically designed and real spaces, and historical and virtual text and image elements were deliberately blurred to delve more deeply into the historical past of Luxembourg’s industrial region. New perspectives on regional history emerged from the fragmentation of history and the combination of individual narratives, taking the place of traditional master narratives.
Organolead halide perovskites: Synthetic routes, structural features, and their potential in the development of photovoltaic
Authors: Ajibade Peter A. , Adeloye Adewale O. , Oluwalana Abimbola E. , Thamae Mamothibe A.
Published: August 2023

About 13 TW of energy is needed to sustain the lifestyle of people worldwide but an additional 10 TW clean energy will be required by 2050. The increase in the world population and the demand for energy that rely on fossil fuels has resulted in global warming that necessitates the need for alternative energy such as solar. Solar energy is abundant and readily available, and its use will contribute to sustainable development. Metal halide perovskites are promising materials for the development of next-generation solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.8% obtained for organolead halide perovskite is close to the polycrystalline solar cell’s efficiency at 26.3% and these materials offer great prospects for future photovoltaic development. To approach the theoretical efficiency limit, it is very important to study the development of perovskite solar cells in terms of material composition, fabrication techniques, and device architectures with emphasis on charge transport layers and electrodes. Limitations to PCE and stability of perovskites, optoelectronic properties, lifetime and stability, wide-scale applications, components of the perovskites solar cell, the standard for testing conditions for good stability and its evolution into the lower layered perovskite solar cells were examined in the current review.
Clinical neutrophil-related gene helps treat bladder urothelial carcinoma
Authors: Li Yanfeng , Dong Ying , Xu Chaojie , Su Ganglin , Xiao Liang , Liu Yuchen , Mei Hongbing
Published: August 2023

Objectives

Most researches have shown that neutrophils are closely related to bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), especially its occurrence and development. Although tumor microenvironment (TME) related genes have an impact on prognosis, the role of neutrophil related genes in BLCA adjuvant therapy is not clear.

Methods

We used sample information from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. And we utilized the CIBERSORT algorithm to obtain the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) landscape and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WCGNA) to detect neutrophil-related gene modules. We used univariate Cox regression, multivariate Cox regression, and lasso regression analyses to identify genes that have a relationship with BLCA prognosis. Using the median risk score (RS), we classified the cohort into a high-risk group (HRG) and low-risk group (LRG). External validation of RS was performed via GEO data feeds. Prognostic nomograms were constructed with reference to RS and clinically relevant information and validated using calibration curves. We analyzed the latent connections between RS and tumor mutational burden. Finally, the latent associations between risk markers and chemotherapy prognosis were explored using the pRRophetic algorithm.

Results

In this study, 10 TME-related genes with important prognostic value were screened. Then, by deriving the RS, we constructed a prognostic risk prediction nomogram using parameters such as sex, age, TNM stage, clinical stage, and RS. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the predictive accuracy of the constructed nomogram was high. We found that using immunotherapy with new immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) was more beneficial for patients in the LRG. In addition, we can learn from the chemotherapeutic drug model that patients with LRG are more sensitive to cisplatin and imatinib.

Conclusions

In short, the prognostic prediction model based on neutrophil-related genes will help to predict the prognosis and guide the precise treatment of BLCA.
Optimal Loading Rate Design Method for Cement Stone Mechanical Test
Authors: Liu Jian , Wu Xuning , Su Zifeng , Li Zaoyuan , Liu Yang , Shi Qing , Chen Rui
Published: August 2023

The loading rate has a significant influence on the mechanical parameters tests of cement stone, which lacks systematic research. There are no corresponding optimal loading rates for different types of cement stones. In this work, the uniaxial compressive strength tests with different loading rates under force loading and displacement loading were carried out for typical cement stones with low, normal, and high density. Seven rate points were designed in the range of static and quasi-static loading rates. Statistical analysis of the test data showed the following. First, the Poisson’s ratio of some cement stones increases with the increase of the loading rate and some decrease. The value of Poisson’s ratio does not change much under the two loading modes. However, Poisson’s ratio shows a certain regularity with density; the higher the density, the greater the Poisson’s ratio. Second, the compressive strength and Young’s modulus show an upward trend with the increase of loading rate. The compressive strength correlates best with the optimal loading rate. In the force loading mode, the optimal loading rate increases linearly with the increase of the compressive strength, and its value can be determined by the established comparison table or calculation formula. In the displacement loading mode, the optimal loading rate is 0.35 mm/min for cement stones with strength values below 15 MPa and 0.7 mm/min for those above 15 MPa. The findings can provide a basis for designing mechanical testing methods for cement stones.

Rehabilitation after cervical and lumbar spine surgery
Authors: Barbosa Tiago P , Raposo Ana Rita , Cunha Paulo Diogo , Cruz Oliveira Nuno , Lobarinhas Armanda , Varanda Pedro , Direito-Santos Bruno
Published: August 2023

The total number of spine surgeries is increasing, with a variable percentage of patients remaining symptomatic and functionally impaired after surgery. Rehabilitation has been widely recommended, although its effects remain unclear due to lack of research on this matter. The aim of this comprehensive review is to resume the most recent evidence regarding postoperative rehabilitation after spine surgery and make recommendations.

The effectiveness of cervical spine surgery on the outcomes is moderate to good, so most physiatrists and surgeons agree that patients benefit from a structured postoperative rehabilitation protocol and despite best timing to start rehabilitation is still unknown, most programs start 4–6 weeks after surgery.

Lumbar disc surgery has shown success rates between 78% and 95% after 2 years of follow-up. Postoperative rehabilitation is widely recommended, although its absolute indication has not yet been proven. Patients should be educated to start their own postoperative rehabilitation immediately after surgery until they enroll on a rehabilitation program usually 4–6 weeks post-intervention.

The rate of lumbar interbody fusion surgery is increasing, particularly in patients over 60 years, although studies report that 25–45% of patients remain symptomatic. Despite no standardized rehabilitation program has been defined, patients benefit from a cognitive-behavioral physical therapy starting immediately after surgery with psychological intervention, patient education and gradual mobilization. Formal spine rehabilitation should begin at 2–3 months postoperatively.

Rehabilitation has benefits on the recovery of patients after spine surgery, but further investigation is needed to achieve a standardized rehabilitation approach.
Suicide Prevention: A Must-Do Task
Authors: Wang Fuzhou
Published: August 2023

Suicide prevention requires a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach that addresses the interplay of individual, social, and environmental factors contributing to suicidal behavior. How to prevent it is crucial and is a must-do task. It is critical to examine individual-level interventions such as mental health screenings and access to mental health services, as well as population-level strategies including awareness campaigns and public policy initiatives. Consequently, it is essential to emphasize the significance of fostering community support, strengthening protective factors, and promoting resilience to counteract suicide risk. Additionally, the role of education, stigma reduction, and collaboration between various stakeholders in implementing effective suicide prevention programs also play a pivotal part in it.
A Comparison of Genetic versus Non-Genetic Contribution of Serotonin to Suicide
Authors: Lee Jeon Lo
Published: August 2023

Suicide is a complex and multifaceted public health issue that has been intensively studied to identify its contributing factors. Serotonin, a neurotransmitter essential for affective regulation and mood control, has been linked to suicidal propensity. Understanding the relative contribution of serotonin’s genetic versus non-genetic influences is essential for the development of effective preventive measures, given that the etiology of suicide involves both genetic and non-genetic factors. This review seeks to compare the influence of genetic and non-genetic factors on the association between serotonin and suicide risk. Examining serotonin-related gene polymorphisms, with a focus on the serotonin transporter gene, the serotonin receptor 1A, and the serotonin receptor 2A, genetic contributions are investigated. This review emphasizes the complex interplay between genetic and non-genetic contributions to serotonin’s role in suicide by synthesizing existing literature. Understanding these complex interactions can provide a comprehensive framework for targeted interventions and individualized methods of suicide prevention and mental health promotion. Future research should incorporate large-scale genetic studies, genetic and non-genetic interaction analyses, and longitudinal designs in order to further elucidate the complex relationship between serotonin and suicide risk.
Inflación en el Perú ante choques de precios internacionales de energía y alimentos
Authors: Espinoza Ipanaque Paul Christian
Published: August 2023

Objetivo: Determinar la contribución de los choques de precios internacionales de energía y alimentos en la inflación en el Perú durante los años 2002-2022. Método: Se estimó un modelo de vectores autorregresivos estructural (SVAR) siguiendo la descomposición de Blanchard y Quah, de modo que reflejara el comportamiento de una economía pequeña y abierta como la peruana. Asimismo, se usó la prueba de causalidad de Granger, las funciones de impulso-respuesta acumuladas y la descomposición de varianza para lograr el objetivo. Resultados: Los choques de precios del petróleo, cereales y fertilizantes son débilmente inflacionarios, mientras que los choques de fletes marítimos son débilmente deflacionarios. Asimismo, estos choques explican levemente la variabilidad de la inflación. Conclusión: A largo plazo, la contribución de choques de precios internacionales de energía y alimentos sobre la inflación doméstica ha sido significativa y permanente, sin embargo, los efectos son débiles y heterogéneos. Ello estaría asociado al buen manejo de la política monetaria por parte del Banco Central de Reserva del Perú.

Published: August 2023

Objetivo: Demostrar que el plan urbano contribuye en la gestión pública de los Gobiernos locales del Perú. Método: La investigación se desarrolló con un enfoque cualitativo, revisión documental, de fase descriptiva, procedimiento transversal y no experimental; la revisión documental empezó con la recolección de datos y continuó con la revisión y análisis de la información, sin dejar de evaluar el contexto. Resultados: El Ministerio de Vivienda, Construcción y Saneamiento señala que el porcentaje de inversión pública en desarrollo urbano a nivel nacional en el 2021 fue bajo, por lo que esta cifra no alcanzó la meta proyectada, incluso fue menor al porcentaje alcanzado en el 2020. Frente a estos resultados, se confirma la ineficiencia de la gestión pública de los Gobiernos locales en relación con la elaboración de los planes urbanos. Conclusión: Los planes urbanos constituyen instrumentos técnicos de planificación urbanística fundamentales en el ordenamiento de las ciudades sin los cuales no será posible alcanzar el desarrollo urbano sostenible indispensable para mejorar la calidad de vida de la población.

Published: August 2023

Approximately 0.7% of patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) develop ACEI-induced angioedema (ACEI-IA). With no approved treatments for ACEI-IA, the risk of complications is concerning. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has the potential to prevent intubations and resolve ACEI-IA by inhibiting the downstream production of bradykinin. In this review, we aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TXA use in ACEI-IA. We queried the PubMed database for studies involving TXA for ACEI-IA from January 2003 to January 2023. Seven studies met the study inclusion criteria. Our results demonstrate that TXA may improve angioedema symptoms and prevent intubation. In addition, its availability, low cost, and safety profile support its use for improving the symptoms and complications of ACEI-IA in an emergency setting.

Naturaleza y Metabolismo en El Capital de Karl Marx
Authors: Quesada Rodríguez Francisco
Published: August 2023

Esta investigación discute el concepto de naturaleza y metabolismo en El Capital I de Karl Marx considerando como trasfondo las antiguas interpretaciones marxistas sobre la relación del ser humano con la naturaleza y las nuevas discusiones sobre el carácter ecológico de la filosofía de Marx. Durante la segunda mitad el siglo XX se consideró la relación del ser humano con la naturaleza en el marco de la alienación del trabajo en la medida en que la naturaleza aparece como el objeto de una lucha constante de apropiación privada para la producción, desvinculando al “hombre” de la naturaleza. Sin embargo, en relación con la actual discusión medioambiental se ha descubierto en el siglo XXI una nueva dimensión orgánica que había quedado olvidada en la filosofía marxista: el metabolismo. Finalmente, a partir del concepto de naturaleza y metabolismo se discute de manera crítica el aporte de Marx a la cuestión ecológica contra el capitalismo considerando la llamada “fractura metabólica”

ΓΝΩΘΙ ΣΕΑΥΤΟΝ - आत्मैव विजिज्ञासितव्यः El ojo como espejo del sí mismo en la India y en Grecia
Authors: Magnone Paolo
Published: August 2023

El lema del oráculo de Delfos, γνῶθι σεαυτόν (nosce te ipsum, “conócete a ti mismo”), ha gozado de una inmensa fortuna en la cultura filosófica occidental; entre los primeros pensadores griegos se asoció especialmente a Sócrates, tal y como lo conocemos a través de Platón, quien menciona el lema en relación con la actitud de Sócrates hacia la investigación filosófica en no menos de cinco diálogos (Filebo, Fedro, Cármides, Protágoras, Timeo, Alcibíades I). Por otro lado, las exhortaciones a conocerse a sí mismo son corrientes en las Upaniṣads indias, empezando por la famosa amonestación de Yājñavalkya a su querida esposa “ filosófica”, Maitreyī, al efecto de que tan sólo el ātman (“sí mismo”) debe ser contemplado, escuchado y puesto como objeto de reflexión y meditación. Pero, ¿qué es ese “sí mismo”, objeto de labúsqueda en ambas tradiciones filosóficas? En el lado indio, su equiparación con el principio espiritual es más directa, ya que el término ātman cubre a la vez tanto la función de pronombre reflexivo como el significado de “alma”. En el lado griego, en cambio, la identificación del tò autó con la psychḗ no es inmediata, y debe conseguirse mediante la investigación filosófica. En ambas tradiciones, sin embargo, el acceso a la esencia real del ātman/psychḗ es difícil de lograr a través del discurso racional, y a veces se recurre a dispositivos extra-racionales para ayudar y catalizar la perspectiva teóretica. Entre ellos, sorprendentemente, la metáfora de la pupila del ojo, denominada de forma equivalente kórē y kanīnikā en cada idioma, se aplica en términos muy similares en el episodio de la enseñanza de Prajāpati a Indra y Virocana relatado en el octavo capítulo de la Chāndogya Upaniṣad y en la instrucción de Sócrates a Alcibíades en el diálogo que lleva el nombre de este último.

Published: August 2023

Primary implant stability (PIS) is known to vary with recipient bone mass and density, dental implant design and surgical technique. The objective of this preliminary study was to compare rotational and lateral PIS of same-coronal-diameter conical and parallel implants, using insertion torque recorded with a dental implant motor set and implant stability quotient obtained from resonance frequency analysis (performed with both Osstell and Penguin systems) as measures of rotational and lateral stability, respectively. Additionally, the relationship between PIS and alveolar ridge width (ARW) was explored in both implant types. Sixty dental implants (30 tapered and 30 parallel) were randomly placed with a split-mouth design in 17 patients. Bone density and ARW were estimated from cone beam computed tomography images taken with radiological-surgical templates. Density and width values were similar in the 2 groups (P > .05). Implant coronal diameters were 3.75 mm in all cases, while consistent with the manufacturer’s recommendations, final drill bit diameters used were 3.25 and 3.4 mm for parallel and tapered implants, respectively. Insertion torque was higher (P < .05) with parallel implants, but between-group differences in implant stability quotient were not significant (P > .05). In tapered implants, insertion torque was inversely correlated with ARW (P < .001). Notably, significant differences were observed between resonance frequency analysis values from Osstell and Penguin systems (P < .001). In conclusion, future studies should explore how PIS may be influenced by final drill bit size regardless of implant design and potential limits on the effectiveness of tapered implants to achieve good stability in thick low-density bone.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare rapid onset autoimmune peripheral polyneuropathy, most commonly characterized by inflammatory demyelination of peripheral nerves. Patients with GBS are considered higher risk for anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity caused by demyelination. In the present report, a case is described of a 56-year-old man with GBS who experienced mental and lingual nerve paresthesia following infiltration anesthesia for dental implant placement in the posterior mandible. The pareshesia lasted 5 months postoperatively and subsided spontaneously without any intervention. The patient was successfully restored with fixed partial dental prosthesis without any other complication. This is considered the first report of such complication in patient with GBS after local anesthesia in the oral and maxillofacial region. Possible pathogenic mechanism of the complication and clinical implications are discussed.
Bifurcation analysis and chaos control of a discrete-time prey-predator model with Allee effect
Authors: AK GÜMÜŞ Özlem
Published: August 2023

In this study, a discrete-time prey-predator model based on the Allee effect is presented. We examine the parametric conditions for the local asymptotic stability of the fixed points of this model. Furthermore, with the use of the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory, we analyze the existence and directions of period-doubling and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. The plots of maximum Lyapunov exponents provide indications of complexity and chaotic behavior. The feedback control approach is presented to stabilize the unstable fixed point. Numerical simulations are performed to support the theoretical results.
Metallothionein Cup1 attenuates nitrosative stress in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: Yoshikawa Yuki , Nasuno Ryo , Takaya Naoki , Takagi Hiroshi
Published: August 2023

Metallothionein (MT), which is a small metal-binding protein with cysteine-rich motifs, functions in the detoxification of heavy metals in a variety of organisms. Even though previous studies suggest that MT is involved in the tolerance mechanisms against nitrosative stress induced by toxic levels of nitric oxide (NO) in mammalian cells, the physiological functions of MT in relation to NO have not been fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the functions of MT in nitrosative stress tolerance in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our phenotypic analyses showed that deletion or overexpression of the MT-encoding gene, CUP1, led to higher sensitivity or tolerance to nitrosative stress in S. cerevisiae cells, respectively. We further examined whether the yeast MT Cup1 in the cell-free lysate scavenges NO. These results showed that the cell-free lysate containing a higher level of Cup1 degraded NO more efficiently. On the other hand, the transcription level of CUP1 was not affected by nitrosative stress treatment. Our findings suggest that the yeast MT Cup1 contributes to nitrosative stress tolerance, possibly as a constitutive rather than an inducible defense mechanism.
The Effects of Business Strategy and Product Market Competition on Real Earnings Management

Published: August 2023

This research investigated the singular and combined effects of firm-level business strategy (BS) and industry-level market competition (MC) on real activities-based earnings management (REM). A composite strategy score based on Miles and Snow’s framework was used to empirically assess BS, while MC was measured through three distinct metrics, and REM was calculated based on Roychowdhury’s (2006) models of abnormal level of production, sales, and discretionary expenditures. Archival data from United Stated (U.S.) non-financial public listed firms in the period 1987-2020 was analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressions, controlled for industry and year fixed effects. Findings suggested that firms following an innovation-oriented prospector strategy are associated with lower levels of REM than firms following an efficiency-oriented defender strategy. While MC alone did not have a significant effect on REM, the combined effect of BS and MC reveals that prospectors in more competitive markets engage less in REM activities, which confirms the relevance of competition in the relationship between BS and REM. This research contributes to earnings management literature by documenting that REM practices are affected not only by internal choices of resource allocation in accordance with a business strategy, but also by exogenous determinants of market competition.

The purpose of this article is to clarify the attribution of the monument based on information received from the previous owner and archival documents.
Hierarchical Decompositions and Termination Analysis for Generalized Planning
Authors: Srivastava Siddharth
Published: August 2023

This paper presents new methods for analyzing and evaluating generalized plans that can solve broad classes of related planning problems. Although synthesis and learning of generalized plans has been a longstanding goal in AI, it remains challenging due to fundamental gaps in methods for analyzing the scope and utility of a given generalized plan. This paper addresses these gaps by developing a new conceptual framework along with proof techniques and algorithmic processes for assessing termination and goal-reachability related properties of generalized plans. We build upon classic results from graph theory to decompose generalized plans into smaller components that are then used to derive hierarchical termination arguments. These methods can be used to determine the utility of a given generalized plan, as well as to guide the synthesis and learning processes for generalized plans. We present theoretical as well as empirical results illustrating the scope of this new approach. Our analysis shows that this approach significantly extends the class of generalized plans that can be assessed automatically, thereby reducing barriers in the synthesis and learning of reliable generalized plans.
LATTICE BOLTZMANN ANALYSIS OF MIXED CONVECTION IN A LID-DRIVEN CAVITY WITH AN INNER HOT ELLIPTICAL BLOCK: EFFECT OF BLOCK INCLINATION

Published: August 2023

This study is a computational analysis of hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of combined natural and forced convection with a moving wall in a square enclosure containing an elliptical block. This inner block is exposed to a hot temperature. The enclosure is full of air which is cooled on its side walls by a low temperature. The remaining surfaces are thermally insulated, and the upper surface is sliding at a steady speed u0. In particular, the impact of various factors related to geometry, such as the emplacement and the elliptical block inclination are analyzed for the range of the dimensionless parameter Richardson number (0.01 ≤ Ri ≤ 100) by using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) with single relaxation time model (SRT). LBM offers the advantage of handling irregular geometries and curved boundaries without requiring complex mesh generation, simplifying computations, and reducing computational costs in comparison to the traditional methods. The findings are in the forms of streamlines, temperature contours, the mean Nusselt number, and the fluid mean temperature inside the enclosure. The results show that for the prevailing natural convection and for the centrally placed elliptical block, the dynamic and thermal fields are almost indicated by symmetry with regard to the mid-vertical of the enclosure. Moreover, the inclination of the elliptical block prevents the enhancement of the heat transfer for all positions of the block; except when the block is located close to the upper surface, the inclination improves the rate of heat transfer especially for Ri ≤ 1.
Drying of gypsum plaster prisms: prevention of visible sodium sulfate efflorescence through calcium formate addition
Authors: Fobbe Nicholas , Goetz-Neunhoeffer Friedlinde , Foerthner Sebastian , Foerster Henning , Jansen Daniel
Published: August 2023

In this work, we investigated the drying process of a hardened gypsum plaster model (GP) that showed sodium sulfate efflorescence after subsequent exposure to water. Visible efflorescence could be prevented by adding small amounts of calcium formate (CF). Prism samples were prepared to investigate this observation, with an emphasis on chemical processes in the pore water. In the pure plaster, both sodium and sulfur accumulate at the surface of the prism, which leads to sodium sulfate precipitation. In the sample containing CF, calcium slightly accumulates at the surface, which leads to lower sulfur concentrations, because the porewater is in equilibrium with gypsum. Thermodynamic calculations show that higher sodium concentrations are then necessary to reach sodium sulfate supersaturation than without CF. These concentrations are not exceeded during early stages of the drying process, which ultimately leads to the sodium sulfate precipitation inside the prism. Therefore, sodium sulfate efflorescence can be hindered on gypsum plaster by the addition of CF.
The Importance of Store Image in Retail Food Markets: An Analysis within the Framework of the S-O-R Paradigm
Authors: KÖSEOĞLU Demet , TUNCER İlhami
Published: August 2023

In the retail industry, where competition is extremely intense, it has become quite challenging for the stores to differentiate themselves from their competitors and gain an advantage. In this context, although many studies have been conducted to determine the purchase intention of consumers, the number of studies that have been handled within the framework of the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model by determining the store image dimensions is quite limited. In this study, the effects of store image on brand awareness, customer satisfaction, perceived value and purchase intention were investigated using the S-O-R model. As a result of this study, evidence is presented on how retail markets can strengthen store image and therefore improve store performance.

A Critical View about the Historical Change Line of the Development Path of the Turkish Economy: From Statist Development to State Capitalist Development
Authors: SARI AKSAKAL Betül
Published: August 2023

In the study, the transformation elements are disputed that emerged in the context of the development of ideology and politics from the period of the establishment of the Republic of Turkey to the present. It is aimed to present some theoretical devices on which development discourses and policies in Turkey came into view as a result of the original historical-social-economic-political-cultural-institutional-ideological features. The different periods of Turkey's development story, the development discourses they built, and the portraits of their dynamics contributed to grasping the subject matter. In all these contexts, it is thought that the transformation in the Turkish economy's development policies has followed since its foundation divulges a condition that has evolved from statist development to state capitalist development.
Debates Over the Trilemma and Dilemma Hypotheses within the Framework of Monetary Policy Independence Following the 2008 Crisis
Authors: KESKİN Nagehan
Published: August 2023

Based on the findings of empirical studies examining the trilemma-dilemma debate, this study aims to offer a general overview of this debate and light the way for future studies. We note that although some studies investigating the validity of the trilemma hypothesis conclude that it is still valid, others have found evidence in support of the dilemma hypothesis. Furthermore, a limited number of studies report that both hypotheses are partially valid. Examining the findings of these empirical studies as a whole, we can say that although flexible exchange rates continue to provide peripheral countries with more monetary independence, the steady increase in financial integration is weakening the shock-absorbing role played by the exchange rate today.
