Pemanfaatan Scale Invariant Feature Transform Berbasis Saliency untuk Klasifikasi Sel Darah Putih
Authors: Yohannes Yohannes , Devella Siska , Hadisaputra William
Published: August 2021

White blood cells are cells that makeup blood components that function to fight various diseases from the body (immune system). White blood cells are divided into five types, namely basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Detection of white blood cell types is done in a laboratory which requires more effort and time. One solution that can be done is to use machine learning such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) feature extraction. This study uses a dataset of white blood cell images that previously carried out a pre-processing stage consisting of cropping, resizing, and saliency. The saliency method can take a significant part in image data and. The SIFT feature extraction method can provide the location of the keypoint points that SVM can use in studying and recognizing white blood cell objects. The use of region-contrast saliency with kernel radial basis function (RBF) yields the best accuracy, precision, and recall results. Based on the test results obtained in this study, saliency can improve the accuracy, precision, and recall of SVM on the white blood cell image dataset compared to without saliency.
The importance of surrounding communities in identity formation within afrofuturistic context
Authors: AKMAN KAPLAN Tuğba
Published: August 2021

Afrofuturism is one of the less known areas of study in terms of African American literature. Even though the term was coined by Mark Dery at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the examples of the movement can be seen much earlier. Its direct colonial roots and political aspects differentiate Afrofuturism from science fiction and fantasy. Octavia Butler’s Kindred (1979) is accepted as one of the key texts of early Afrofuturism. The novel demonstrates the ways Butler creates alternative areas especially for African American women and highlights the importance of the protagonist’s survival depending on the survival of her respective community. Instead of idealizing the slave community, Butler describes a realistic slave community that is rich in diversity. In the forced situations, Dana discovers the need of her community in the essence for surviving in the past and reaching to a realization about herself. This article analyzes how—with the help of the surrounding communities of antebellum slave community—the main character develops an autonomous identity that helps her to accept her fragmented self to decolonize her mind as well as to have wider understanding of her African American roots. The analysis benefits from Frantz Fanon’s thoughts on colonialism and emphasis on the double-voicedness of African Americans to create a discussion on the effects of surrounding communities on African American characters’ decolonization process.
Feminist okuma ekseninin yazın çevirisine izdüşümleri: Orhan Pamuk’un Veba Geceleri örneği
Authors: KULELİ Mesut
Published: August 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Orhan Pamuk’un 2021 Mart’ta Türk edebiyat çoğuldizgesine giren Veba Geceleri başlıklı romanını toplumsal cinsiyet inşasına dayalı feminizm kuramı çerçevesinde çözümleyerek romanın gelecekte Batı dillerine yapılması beklenen çevirileri için romanın çoğul okuma eksenlerinden feminist okumaya dayalı zorlukları göstermektir. Roman, kurgusal Minger Adası üzerinden ve Padişah V. Murat’ın (kurgusal) kızı Pakize Sultan karakterinin bu adada geçen olayları ablası Hatice Sultan’a yazdığı mektuplara dayandırılarak bir tarihsel roman olarak okunabilmesinin yanı sıra yazarın giriş bölümünde öncelediği gibi feminist okumaya açıktır. Toplumsal cinsiyet inşasına dayalı feminist kuram, cinsiyet ve rollerinin biyolojik ve doğa gereği oluşan olgular olmadığını, toplumların ataerkil yapılarının ürettiği ve dünyaya gelen her bireyin içinde yaşadığı toplumsal değerler çerçevesinde bu cinsiyet rollerini öğrendiğini öne sürmektedir. Hem toplumsal hayatta hem de iş dünyasında inşa edilen kadın erkek eşitsizliğinin ataerkil toplum tarafından yeniden üretildiğini öne süren bu feminist kurama göre, toplumsal bir süreç olan cinsiyet rollerinin inşası aynı zamanda güç ve toplumsal kontrol sahibini de bu yolla belirlemektedir. İncelenen romanda kadınların sadece ev işleri ve çocuk bakımı ile kısıtlandığı, romanda geçen tüm mesleklerin sadece erkekler tarafından yapılmakta olduğu ve yegane güç sahibinin erkek olduğu görülmektedir. Romandaki tüm erkek karakterler meslekleri veya sahip oldukları sosyal statü ile adlandırılırken tüm kadın karakterler kimin kızı veya eşi olduğu söylenerek okura tanıtılmıştır. Kadınların evlilikleri ve alacakları sağlık hizmeti de ataerkil normlarla belirlenmiştir. Toplumsal olarak inşa edilmiş cinsiyet rollerinin romandaki dili de etkilediği, cinsiyet belirtilmeyen rollerde “adamlar” veya “baba”, “dede” gibi eril göstergelerin kullanıldığı bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Türkçeden diğer dillere en çok çevrilen yazarlardan olan Orhan Pamuk’un bu romanının da Batı dillerine yapılması beklenen çevirilerinde yazın çevirmeninin ve editörlerin romanı feminist okuma ile çözümlemesinin, romandaki dil kullanımında yaşanabilecek anlam dönüşümlerini ve anlam kayıplarını en aza indirebileceği özgül söylemler ile tartışılmaktadır.
A short critique on Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
Authors: KAYAALTI Mahmut
Published: August 2021

As a prominent representative of the Neo-romantic movement in the 1940s, Dylan Thomas, with his poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” (1952), presents his thoughts on the phenomenon of death. Contrary to the main idea in other death-themed poems, this poem depicts that though death’s inevitability is known, one should not accept death all at once. Instead, people should fight to get as much time from death as possible. Even though Thomas’s advice encourages resistance to death, it contains some uncertainty about how this resistance should be. How and why does a human try to take time off death, knowing that the impending doom will come sooner or later? Moreover, Thomas has been said to produce this poem for the sake of his ill father, and this makes difficult to recognize the audience he intended. Has the poem been written to uplift his dying father? Or is it for Thomas’ readers to know the poet’s thoughts on death? Accordingly, this paper has been prepared to examine the implications in the tercets in-depth to investigate Thomas’s approach to the concept of death, and to shed light on Thomas’s target group with his poem. The study reveals that the failures and regrets, which are highlighted by Thomas to refuse the death, are insufficient to motivate people to stay more on earth.
17. yüzyıl Fransız tiyatrosunda Doğulu hükümdar imgesi ve Kanuni Sultan Süleyman
Authors: KASAP Özlem
Published: August 2021

Fransız tiyatrosunun altın çağı olarak anılan 17. yüzyılda, Osmanlı İmparatorluğunu konu alan, daha doğrusu uzam olarak Osmanlı sarayını seçen ve kişilerine “Doğulu” isimler ve özellikler veren oyun yazarları çoğalır. Fransız oyun yazarları ve seyirciler için, o dönem, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu “Doğu”dur (l’Orient) ve yazınsal yapıtlarda Doğu’yu Doğu yapan mutlakıyetin, barbarlığın, zorbalığın, şiddetin hüküm sürdüğü saraylar, onların olmazsa olmaz “harem”leri, dinsel gelenekleri ve yasaları ve elbette mutlakıyetin simgesi hükümdarlarıdır. Tüm bu imgeler kimi zaman Batılının kendi imgesini oluşturmak için kullanacağı birer karşı-model olarak yapıtlarda işlenir. Çalışmamızı sınırlayacağımız imge ise, Avrupa ülkelerinde – özellikle Fransa’da – yazınsal yapıtlara, opera ve bale gösterilerine de defalarca esin kaynağı olmuş, çeşitli dönemlerde farklı yorumlarla yeniden ele alınmış olan Kanunî Sultan Süleyman imgesi olacaktır. Kanunî Sultan Süleyman’ın hüküm sürdüğü, özellikle de ilk şehzadesi Mustafa’nın ölümü ile sonlanan döneminin, nasıl ve niçin bir kurgusal malzemeye dönüştüğünü üç tiyatro yapıtından hareketle irdelemeye çalışacağız. Bu oyunlardan ilki, Pierre Mainfray’nin 1621 yılında yayımlanan “La Rhodienne, ou La cruauté de Soliman” (Rodoslu Kadın ya da Süleyman’ın Zalimliği), diğer ikisi de 17. Yüzyıl İtalya’sının en başarılı oyunlarından biri sayılan, İtalyan oyun yazarı Prospero Bonarelli’nin “Il Solimano” adlı oyununun Fransızca yorumlanışı olup, biri Vion D’Alibray’in 1637 tarihli “Le Soliman” (Süleyman) adlı traji-komedisi, diğeri ise 1639’da yayımlanan Jean Mairet’nin “Le grand et dernier Soliman ou La Mort de Moustapha” (Büyük ve Son Süleyman ya da Mustafa’nın Ölümü) adlı trajedisidir. Bu karşılaştırmalı imge çalışmasının sonucunda, halkın imgelemini doğrudan besleyen tiyatro yapıtlarıyla, dönemin toplumsal algısında nasıl bir Doğulu hükümdar imgesi yaratıldığı ve bunun neden bir karşı-model olarak yorumlanabileceği sorgulanacaktır.
Laughter as a Rational and Irrational Phenomenon in Harold Pinter’s The Hothouse
Authors: GÜROVA Ercan
Published: August 2021

Harold Pinter’s 1958/1980 play The Hothouse presents the laughter effect by making use of rational and irrational approaches of comic. In its absurdist tone, the two act play aims to mock hierarchical power structures with its setting and characters. With its witty and playful dialogues, the play creates the laughter effect by amalgamating the social and psychological functions of laughter. This article seeks to study Pinter’s play closely from the use of rational and irrational way of the laughter effect. Using the theories of Henri Bergson’s laughter concept as a rational comic approach and Freud’s joke concept as an irrational comic approach, this study shows how laughter effect is constructed in Pinter’s play.
Translation of Chekhov’s Rhizome in Vladimir Nabokov’s Ada, or Ardor
Authors: DENİSSOVA Nilüfer
Published: August 2021

The literary works of Vladimir Nabokov are often discussed in terms of intertextuality, since the writer is a known master of literary games and puzzles with numerous allusions, direct or hidden (mis)quotations, dialogues, names, and themes, echoing with multilingual works of world literature. The concept of a rhizome appears as a productive way of interpreting the architecture of Nabokov’s works (Strelnikova 2018). As described by Deleuze and Guattari (1987), rhizome in its application to literature is a design with several cores and many intertwining branches of different authorships, forming the unique texture of a new narrative. Proffer (1974) in his Ada as Wonderland: A Glossary of Allusions to Russian Literature depicts more than twenty examples of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, The Seagull, and The Three Sisters weaved into Nabokov’s Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle. These examples constitute the basis of textual analysis in this work. The Turkish translation by Fatih Özgüven (2002) is not presented as an annotated translation and appeals to a reader who would rather perform his/her own literary investigation independently. This strategy is also in line with Nabokov’s idea of an “admirable reader”. An annotated translation, on the other hand, would offer a detailed map for Nabokov’s inter- and sub textual terrain, for a readership with such expectation.
ROP REACTIVATED!

Published: August 2021

Purpose:To report a case of ROP reactivation, later in life following natural regression in infancy.Methods:Prospective study focusing on ocular presentation and outcome of long term ROP follow-up at Tertiary Hospital, India. A 12-year-old female, seen by us first at 8 years of age, with a 6-monthly follow-up with known history of bilateral ROP came with complaints of black spots. The incident occurred after 4 years of follow-up in this patient at our center.On examination, patient had (OD) falciform fold at the macula and (OS) had regressed ROP. Left eye had developed new vascular buds (vessels) along avascular arcade. FFA was done and leaks with non-perfusion areas were noted. Patient didn’t receive any treatment in the past and was on 6 monthly follow-ups.Result:Based on the clinical symptoms and signs, reactivation of ROP was suspected and FFA examination revealed filing defects and leaks. After consent, laser therapy was given to stop the progression .Visual acuity and retina remained steady during the follow-up period. Bone densitometry done on patient showed low calcium levels.Conclusion: Patients with history of ROP treatment with or without active signs should be evaluated lifelong to detect and avert vision threatening complications.Keywords: ROP, Retinopathy of prematurity, retrolental fibroplasia
AGING OF SOMATIC CELLS AS AN EXAMPLE OF STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN THE VITREOUS BODY WITH AGE
Authors: Hajiyev Rasim
Published: August 2021

Purpose:Based on the literature review and previous data, an analogy is drawn between the structure of the vitreous body and somatic cells. A comparison is made between changes in the vitreous body with age and the aging of somatic cells. Methods: A review of the literature and hypotheses. Results(Hypothesis): With age, the amount of hyaluronic acid and microfibrils decreases and the volume of “empty space” increases, leading to the collapse of the vitreous body and a complete detachment. Let us imagine the vitreous body as a giant cell with a central nucleus. The cytoskeleton permeates the entire cell. The cytoskeleton provides a structural framework for the cell, serving as a framework that determines cell shape and the general organization of the cytoplasm. Importantly, the cytoskeleton is much less rigid and permanent than its name implies. We see the same thing in the microfibrils of the vitreous body.Conclusion:With age, the density of the fibrillarstructure of the vitreous body decreases. This structure is apparently, is an evolutionary intracellular formation that formed as a result of the apoptosis of the mesenchymal cells that form the primary vitreous body. An analogy is drawn between the loss of the density of fibrils of the vitreous body and the density of the cytoskeleton of asomatic cell. The loss of the cytoskeleton of a cell is a fatal process that cannot be stopped. The cytoskeleton cannot hold the nucleus in the center of the cell, whichis why the nucleiof theoldercells are not in the center, but are shifted to the periphery.

Published: August 2021

Atualmente os leites fermentados apresentam grande potencial de consumo e aceitação, são classificados como um alimento probiótico e funcional. Diante disso, o estudo tem como objetivo caracterizar diferentes formulações de leites fermentados com adição de suplementos à base de colágeno. O desenvolvimento do leite fermentado iniciou-se com as análises do leite UHT realizado no ultrassom (Lactoscan SA50 Milk Analyzer), seguidos da inoculação da cultura láctica (42ºC/8h), refrigerados e adicionados do suplemento. As três formulações desenvolvidas foram: F1 (padrão), F2 (1% de suplemento) e F3 (3% de suplemento). Após obtida as formulações foram analisadas quanto ao:  teor de acidez, pH, atividade de água (Aw), sólidos solúveis (SST) e cor. Para avaliação sensorial foi realizado o teste de aceitação, índice de aceitabilidade e intenção de compra. De acordo com os resultados obtidos no ultrassom todos os parâmetros avaliados estavam dentro dos padrões exigidos pela legislação brasileira. Não houve diferença significativa entre a Aw e os SST dos leites fermentados (p>0,05). Com relação à variação de cor (∆E) a amostra F2 foi mais próxima a cor da amostra padrão (F1), pela menor concentração de colágeno na mesma. Quanto a análise sensorial a amostra F1 foi à de maior preferência para 64% dos julgadores, e F3 por 34%. Pode-se concluir que ainda há uma resistência por parte dos julgadores na aceitação deste tipo de produto, contudo, quando comparado as formulações com adição de suplemento a F3 foi a mais receptivél que a F2, notou-se que maiores concentrações de suplemento de colágeno contribuíram para uma maior aceitação, embora ainda sendo esses valores menores que F1, assim, há viabilidade da elaboração das bebidas fermentadas enriquecidas com suplemento à base de colágeno.

The great reset e as startups: novas relações de trabalho no capitalismo contemporâneo
Authors: Parra João Fernando de Lima
Published: August 2021

A ideia do the great reset, preconizada pelo 51º Fórum Econômico Mundialde 2021,tem incluído naagenda uma nova forma de se pensar o capitalismo que exigirá uma grande mudança em suas bases estruturais. Este artigo visa contribuir com o debate de como as startups, neste contexto, podem ser vistas como um elemento disruptivo por se diferenciarem das corporações tradicionais originando novas relações de trabalho. O objetivo é traçar um percurso teórico que busca entender as bases do surgimento tanto deste modelo de empresa quanto do seus criadores, os empreendedores inovadores. Veremos que assubjetividades desses empreendedores vêm sendo mobilizadas pelo componente ideológico das startups, reforçando o seu enquadramento ao capitalismo preconizado pelo Fórum.Conclui-se que, por trás de todo este manto ideológico, os modos de extração de mais-valia se mantém, se diferenciando em sua aparência, mas não em sua essência.
Respostas de movimentos sociais feministas à pandemia de COVID-19: notas prévias de pesquisa em psicologia social
Authors: Afonso Mariana Luciano
Published: August 2021

O presente artigo trata de notas prévias de pesquisa em andamento. São reflexões preliminares que conjugam elementos de pesquisa de doutorado, finalizada em 2019, com a atual conjuntura da pandemia de Covid-19. A partir da constatação de que a pandemia atinge mais intensamente a população negra e da classe trabalhadora, impactando ainda uma intensificação de sobrecarga no trabalho das mulheres, busca-se refletir sobre os impactos e, especialmente, as respostas psicossociais à pandemia travadas por mulheres da classe trabalhadora – em sua maioria negras –, organizadas em um movimento social feminista na cidade de São Paulo (SP). Nota-se uma sobrecarga de trabalho e emocional, mas também, relações de cuidado e solidariedade que apontam para uma resistência à política hegemônica atual e para horizontes de transformação social.

Neste artigo, objetivamos uma análise comparativa sobre participação popular em metrópoles latino-americanas. Especificamente, comparamos a participação popular em audiências públicas nas cidades de São Paulo, em 2014, e Buenos Aires, em 2018. Metodologicamente, através da observação participante, acompanhamos audiências públicas relativas aos códigos urbanísticos das duas cidades, nos anos indicados, para estabelecer diferenças e similaridades entre as duas experiências e realizamos levantamentos históricos de ambas cidades em relação ao tema. Concluímos que, a despeito dos avanços em termos normativos com relação à cidadania, as condições históricas para seu exercício são desfavoráveis tanto em lugares de participação mais avançada como em Buenos Aires ou mesmo nos avanços recentes em São Paulo.

Policies related to online learning which were then simultaneously used as a learning system did not appear without problems. As a result, countries that are not ready with this system, of course, face many problems, especially for teaching staff and students. This study, tries to explore problems that have the potential to hinder students' understanding during online learning, which means that researchers will only focus on obstacles in the learning process, both internal to students and external from teachers and parents, not technical matters such as network constraints, no quota and other related matters. Subjects in this study were 15 junior high school students in Penan, Pejarakan, Ampenan. Qualitative research with this descriptive approach, in the process using Observation and Interview methods as the main way to obtain data where the results of this study classify the main problems that arise into 3 parts, namely; 1) There is a delay from the subject in participating in online class activities, 2) There is a tendency not to take learning activities seriously by doing other activities such as playing games, watching TV and other activities and 3) the lack of time and the ability of companions during the learning process is good because they do not have sufficient understanding of the material or other activities or work to be undertaken.

Published: August 2021

Forests degradation in arid and semi-arid lands may conduct to the formation of “fertility islands” due to the accumulation of soil particles, water, nutrients and biomass under trees and shrubs. In the Arid Chaco fertility islands are characterised by the presence of Prosopis flexuosa and Larrea divaricata. The objective was to evaluate biophysical variables in soil, microclimate and the plant response under canopy and in intercanopy. Infiltrability, microtopography, soil bulk density, soil and air moisture and temperature, and light were measured under the canopy, at the limit of the canopy and in the intercanopy. These variables were correlated with the litter and plant frequencies associated with the fertility islands. P. flexuosa canopy and litter understorey tend to maintain more soil moisture compared with the intercanopy, by reducing soil and air temperature and by increasing air moisture. This increases the frequency of Dyksterhuis’ decreaser species. Under L. divaricata the canopy effect is not as effective as that of P. flexuosa and understorey plant response is not significative.

Published: August 2021

The variability in the formation of Ilioinguinal nerve has been documented in the literature especially related to iliohypogastric nerve. But so far very few cadaveric studies have been documented on variation in the branches of ilioinguinal nerve. A case presented which demonstrates aberrancy of its anatomic position. Although the course of ilioinguinal nerve has been well known, nostudies or report have demonstrated a course in relation to lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. This case report serves as a warning to the surgeon to be aware of such bizarre presentation since the consequences of iatrogenic injury to such structures may be serious.

Published: August 2021

Purpose of the study. To analyze retrospectively our own experience of using intramural dexamethasone injections during endoscopic bougienage of recurrent or very tight (refractory) benign cicatricial strictures of the esophagus and esophageal anastomoses.

Materials and methods. From 2013 to March 2021, this method was applied in 43 patients (26 — men, 17 — women) with peptic (11), cicatricial (8), burn (6) esophageal strictures and strictures of anastomoses (18) prone to restenosis. Dexamethasone was injected into the constricted area with a needle passed through the endoscope biopsy channel as an addition to supportive bougienage.

Results. After dexamethasone injections, 41 (95.3%) of 43 patients achieved a satisfactory lumen diameter, at which the symptoms of dysphagia disappeared for a long time without relapse. In most patients, the lumen in the stricture zone stabilized at a diameter of 8–18 mm (average 13 mm). With strictures of the esophagus, it was possible to achieve a diameter of 8–14 mm (average 11 mm), and with strictures of the anastomoses — 10–18 mm (average 14 mm).

Conclusion. With the tendency of stricture to restenosis, the standard algorithm for endoscopic bougienage, developed in the endoscopy department of the “Petrovsky National Research Center of Surgery”, was supplemented with intramural injections of dexamethasone. This combined endoscopic treatment made it possible to increase the diameter of the bougie and the intervals between bougienage due to the stabilization of the scar frame and to complete the endoscopic treatment with a satisfactory result in 95.3% of patients.

The Optimal Correlation Detector?
Authors: Gibbons Steven
Published: August 2021

Correlation detectors are now used routinely in seismology to detect occurrences of signals bearing close resemblance to a reference waveform. They facilitate the detection of low-amplitude signals in significant background noise that may elude detection using energy detectors, and they associate a detected signal with a source location. Many seismologists use the fully normalized correlation coefficient $C$ between the template and incoming data to determine a detection. This is in contrast to other fields with a longer tradition for matched filter detection where the theoretically optimal statistic $C^2$ is typical. We perform a systematic comparison between the detection statistics $C$ and $C|C|$, the latter having the same dynamic range as $C^2$ but differentiating between correlation and anti-correlation. Using a database of short waveform segments, each containing the signal on a 3-component seismometer from one of 51 closely spaced explosions, we attempt to detect P- and S- phase arrivals for all events using short waveform templates from each explosion as a reference event. We present empirical statistics of both $C$ and $C|C|$ traces and demonstrate that $C|C|$ detects confidently a higher proportion of the signals than $C$ without evidently increasing the likelihood of triggering erroneously. We recall from elementary statistics that $C^2$, also called the coefficient of determination, represents the fraction of the variance of one variable which can be explained by another variable. This means that the fraction of a segment of our incoming data that could be explained by our signal template decreases almost linearly with $C|C|$ but diminishes more rapidly as $C$ decreases. In most situations, replacing $C$ with $C|C|$ in operational correlation detectors may improve the detection sensitivity without hurting the performance-gain obtained through network stacking. It may also allow a better comparison between single-template correlation detectors and higher order multiple-template subspace detectors which, by definition, already apply an optimal detection statistic.

Published: August 2021

Background: In order to understand the intricate patterns of interplay connected to the formation and maintenance of depressive symptomatology, repeated measures investigations focusing on within-person relationships between psychopathological mechanisms and depressive components are required. Methods: This large-scale preregistered intensive longitudinal study conducted 68 240 observations of 1706 individuals in the general adult population across a 40-day period during the COVID-19 pandemic to identify the detrimental processes involved in depressive states. Daily responses were modeled using multi-level dynamic network analysis to investigate temporal associations across days, in addition to contemporaneous relationships between depressive components within a daily window. Results: Among the investigated psychopathological mechanisms, helplessness predicted the strongest across-day influence on depressive symptoms, while emotion regulation difficulties displayed more proximal interactions with symptomatology. Helplessness was further involved in the amplification of other theorized psychopathological mechanisms including rumination, the latter of which to a greater extent was susceptible toward being influenced rather than temporally influencing other components of depressive states. Distinctive symptoms of depression behaved differently, with depressed mood and anhedonia most prone to being impacted, while lethargy and worthlessness were more strongly associated with outgoing activity in the network. Conclusions: The main mechanism predicting amplifications of detrimental symptomatology was helplessness. Lethargy and worthlessness revealed greater within-person carry-over effects across days, providing preliminary indications that these symptoms may be more strongly associated with pushing individuals toward prolonged depressive state experiences. The psychopathological processes of rumination, helplessness, and emotion regulation only exhibited interactions with the depressed mood and worthlessness component of depression, being unrelated to lethargy and anhedonia. The findings have implications for the impediment of depressive symptomatology during and beyond the pandemic period. They further outline gaps in the literature concerning the identification of psychopathological processes intertwined with lethargy and anhedonia on the within-person level.
Prosocial behavior and altruism: A review of concepts and definitions
Authors: Pfattheicher Stefan , Nielsen Yngwie Asbjørn , Thielmann Isabel
Published: August 2021

The field of prosociality is flourishing, yet researchers disagree about how to define prosocial behavior and often neglect defining it altogether. In this review, we provide an overview about the breadth of definitions of prosocial behavior and the related concept of altruism. Common to almost all definitions is an emphasis on the promotion of welfare in agents other than the actor. However, definitions of the two concepts differ in terms of whether they emphasize intentions and motives, costs and benefits, and the societal context. In order to improve on the conceptual ambiguity surrounding the study of prosociality, we urge researchers to provide definitions, to use operationalizations that match their definitions, and to acknowledge the diversity of prosocial behavior.
The (Missing) 12th Man: Home Advantage Mediated (HAM) by Referee Bias and Team Performance During Covid
Authors: Bilalić Merim , Gula Bartosz , Vaci Nemanja
Published: August 2021

The fans’ importance in sports is acknowledged by the term ‘the 12th man’, a figurative extra player for the home team. Sport teams are indeed more successful when they play in front of their fans than when they play away. The supposed mechanism behind this phenomenon, termed Home Advantage (HA), is that fans’ support spurs home players to better performance and biases referees, which in turn determines the outcome. The inference about the importance of fans’ support is, however, indirect as there is normally a 12th man of this kind, even if it is an opponent’s. The current pandemic, which forced sporting activities to take place behind closed doors, provides the necessary control condition. Here we employ a novel conceptual HA model on a sample of over 4,000 soccer matches from 12 European leagues, some played in front of spectators and some in empty stadia, to demonstrate that fans are indeed responsible for the HA. However, the absence of fans reduces the HA by a third, as the home team’s performance suffers and the officials’ bias disappears. The current pandemic reveals that the figurative 12th man is no mere fan hyperbole, but is in fact the most important player in the home team.

This study compares effectiveness of cognitive behavioral training (CBT) and positive psychology training (PPT) on psychological health of pregnant women with pregnancy anxiety. We studied forty-five pregnant women with pregnancy anxiety in two experimental and control groups. All participants completed demographic questionnaire, PDQ, ASI, WHOQOL-BREF and CD-RISC in two stages and CBT and PPT were taught for experimental groups. The results showed a significant difference between experimental and control groups in total score of pregnancy anxiety, quality of life, anxiety sensitivity and resilience (F(8,70)=11.63, P <.001, Wilks'Λ = .184, partial η2 = .571) but no meaningful difference between effectiveness of CBT and PPT on psychological health of pregnant women with pregnancy anxiety (P > .001). According to the results, CBT and PPT both have substantial impacts on improving psychological health of pregnant women with pregnancy anxiety; however, there is no statistically significant difference between the efficiency of CBT and PPT.
Strukturwandel der wissenschaftlichen Öffentlichkeit: Konstitution und Konsequenzen des Open-Access-Pfades
Authors: Dobusch Leonhard , Heimstädt Maximilian
Published: August 2021

Wir beobachten aktuell einen grundlegenden Strukturwandel der wissenschaftlichen Öffentlichkeit, der charakterisiert ist durch Prozesse der Spezialisierung, Metrifizierung, Internationalisierung, Plattformisierung und Visibilisierung. In Abgrenzung zu technikdeterministischen Erklärungen des Strukturwandels versuchen wir mit einem organisationstheoretischen Ansatz am Beispiel der Open-Access-Transformation in Deutschland die historische Kontingenz des Wandels sichtbar zu machen. Durch die Digitalisierung von Fachzeitschriften hat sich der Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Ergebnissen nicht erweitert, sondern im Zuge der „Zeitschriftenkrise“ sogar weiter verengt. Forschungseinrichtungen waren lange Zeit nicht in der Lage gegenüber den großen Wissenschaftsverlagen weniger restriktive Formen des Literaturzugangs durchzusetzen. Erst durch die Entstehung neuer und teils illegaler Akteure (Schattenbibliotheken und Preprint-Server) konnte der bestehende Pfad gebrochen und ein Open-Access-Pfad konstituiert werden. Im Anschluss an diese Analyse diskutieren wir Konsequenzen der Open-Access-Transformation für wissenschaftliche und demokratische Öffentlichkeit. Wir ziehen den Schluss, dass Open Access nur in Verbindung mit einer Förderung gemeinnütziger Publikationsinfrastrukturen dazu beitragen kann, beide Kommunikationsräume in Richtung eines normativen Ideals von Öffentlichkeit zu verändern.

Published: August 2021

Vertical irregular buildings are frequently constructed across the globe for functional as well as aesthetic purpose. However post-earthquake reconnaissance survey reports revealed high seismic vulnerability of the building with vertical irregularities. Consequently it is very important to explore the reason behind the high seismic vulnerability and the poor performance of irregular structures during the earthquake. A humble effort is under taken considering several case studies comprising different configuration of vertical irregular structures, so as to comprehend the seismic behavior of vertical irregular structure using response spectrum and pushover analysis has been attempted in finite element software ETABS 16.2.1 version. The results of the analysis indicate the irregular structures have ample chance of higher stress concentration as well as higher displacement demand at the vicinity of irregularity. Member strength enhancement at the vicinity of vertical irregularity may improve the overall seismic performance of the building. Also, this research checks the adequacy of fundamental mode properties for the quantification of vertical irregularity. Furthermore, pushover analysis has been done to observe the hinge formation pattern and also the plastic hinge rotation for observing the performance level of building.

Boris Lissanevitch and Nepali Tourism: History Revisited
Authors: Singh Mahato Gyaneshwor Prasad , Dahal Anish
Published: August 2021

In the transitional phase of Nepal, attaining peoples’ democracy in the 1950, the tourism and hospitality sector witnessed dynamism. The isolated Nepal was on the way of opening for tourism. This paper tries to frame a picture of the era of 1950s in Nepal when commercial tourism was introduced. An overlooked pioneer, Boris Lissanevitch, who established the international-standard Royal Hotel in Kathmandu in 1954, assisted in making key changes in the progression of tourism as visa issuance, hospitality modernization, management of royal events, sightseeing activities, accomplishing inter-continental land cruise, and introduction of European vegetables and dishes. His vision of tourism as an economic sector led Nepal attaining its golden age (of tourism) thus paving the way for other tourism and hospitality enthusiasts to establish similar businesses. This paper aims at interpreting and appreciating the efforts Boris made in the development of tourism in Nepal among tourism scholars and stakeholders
