Cümle sınırlarının belirlenmesi üzerine notlar: Oktay Akbal’ın “Hayri Bey’li Üsküdar” öyküsü örneğiyle
Authors: AYDIN Hasene
Published: November 2020

Dilin bir dizge olarak algılanmasıyla birlikte dil incelemeleri, bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla yapılmaya başlamış; bu da araştırmalarda cümleden daha büyük dil birimlerine yönelmeyi gerektirmiştir. Böylelikle çalışmalar, giderek, birbiriyle bağlantılı cümlelerden oluşan cümle üstü birimler üzerinde yoğunlaşmış; cümle üstü birimler de bir metin ortaya koymak üzere bir araya geldikleri için metinler üzerinde çalışmak da kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Ancak bir metni anlayabilmek için ilk olarak onu meydana getiren temel malzemeyi değerlendirmek gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Cümle, önce cümle üstü birimin, sonra da metin denen bütünün yapı taşı olarak kullanılan bir dil birimidir. Öyleyse metin çözümlerken yapılması gereken ilk iş, metni oluşturan cümleleri belirlemek, cümlelerin sınırını çizmektir. Vericinin amacına ve tercihlerine bağlı olarak çeşitli biçimlerde kurgulanan cümlelerin sınırının bağlama dayalı olarak belirlenmesi zorunludur. Yazılı metinler söz konusu olduğunda vericinin üslubu, noktalama işaretlerinin kullanımı, kiplik bildirimi, iletilen yargı sayısı gibi çeşitli unsurlar, bu noktada yönlendirici olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Oktay Akbal’ın “Hayri Bey’li Üsküdar” adlı öyküsü örnek alınarak bir metni oluşturan cümlelerin sınırının nasıl çizileceği konusu üzerinde durulmuştur. Yapılan incelemeden hareketle, metinlerde cümleler belirlenirken ölçüt olarak değerlendirilebilecek bazı noktaların olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ögelerin kurgusal özellikleri, yan önermelerdeki yargı sayısı, yargısız anlatımların anlamsal özellikleri, eksiltili ifadeler, cümleler arasındaki anlamsal ve biçimsel ilişkiler, kiplik anlatımları, noktalama işaretleri gibi unsurlar, cümle olarak değerlendirilecek yapıları belirlemede etkin rol oynamaktadır.
Understanding and deciphering the past in Graham Swift’s Shuttlecock
Authors: KALKAN Oğuzhan
Published: November 2020

Like the other influential events in world history, the two world wars of the twentieth century have deeply influenced the following generations and forced them to evaluate their existence and ask epistemological questions about fact and fiction, history and story, and truth and falsity in order to understand and situate themselves in a constructed present world. Shuttlecock, Graham Swift’s second novel, follows a senior police archivist who inherits a past from his veteran father and attempts to reach a natural flow of life by fully grasping the past. He thinks that he can dissolve the unnaturally constructed reality of the present by digging the past but scrutinizing the past does not provide the necessary answers to settle him down in harmony. In the end, he leaves his epistemological quest and seems to come to terms with the fragmented reality between the past and present. However, as Slavoj Žižek notes in The Sublime Object of Ideology, overseeing the modern alienation is a dangerous fantasy and it is impossible to return to a natural balance. This article aims to discuss the relationship between memory, trauma and modernity in order to come to terms with the impossibility of knowing the past.
Absürd Tiyatro’da ‘Yalnızlık’ temasının Tom Stoppard’ın Bir Ayrı Huzur ve Aziz Nesin’in Çiçu adlı oyununa yansımaları
Authors: ŞAHİN GÜLTER Işıl
Published: November 2020

Düşünsel tabanını dünya savaşları sonrasında ortaya çıkan tinsel bunalımdan kaynaklanan kötümserlik ile Varoluşçuluk ve Hiççilik gibi düşünce dizgelerinin etkisi altında oluşturan Absürd Tiyatro anlayışının asal izleği yaşamın usa aykırılığıdır. Absürd Tiyatro anlayışı, dünya savaşları sonrasında ortaya çıkan kültürel kargaşa ortamının bir sonucu olarak, yaşadığı dünyaya ‘yabancılaşan’ ve ‘yalnızlaşan’ insanın durumunu yansıtmayı amaçlar. Absürd Tiyatro, ‘yalnızlaşan’ insanın durumunu sahneye taşımak için farklı arayışlar içerisinde olan oyun yazarları tarafından benimsenmiş ve toplumlarının deneyimlediği sosyo-politik-ekonomik koşullar bağlamında biçimlenmiştir. Diğer bir ifadeyle, kendi içinde belirlenmiş ilke ve kuralları olmayan, ‘izm’ ya da akım özelliği gösteren herhangi bir anlayışa bağlı olmayan Absürd Tiyatroyu, oyun yazarları kendi tarzlarında yorumlamış ve kendi toplumsal olgularıyla harmanlayarak okuyucuya/izleyiciye sunmuşlardır. Bu bağlamda; bu çalışma, Tom Stoppard’ın Bir Ayrı Huzur (A Separate Peace) (1969) adlı oyununu ve Aziz Nesin’in Çiçu (1969) adlı oyununu Absürd Tiyatro anlayışı ile ele almaktadır. Dramatik yaşamları ve ürettikleri eklektik tiyatro yapıtları bakımından çağdaş tiyatroda ses getiren Stoppard ve Nesin’in, adı geçen oyunlarda modern bireyin kimliğini, seçimlerini ve ‘yalnızlığını’ derinlemesine tartıştığı görülmektedir. 20.yüzyılın ikinci yarısında, farklı coğrafyalarda benzer kaygılarla eserler üreten Stoppard ve Nesin’in kendilerine özgü biçemler geliştirdiği ve bu biçemlerin Absürd Tiyatro geleneği ile benzeştiği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, oyunlardaki baş kişilerin ifadeleri ve biyografik bilgilerine dayanarak, ‘yalnızlığın’ bir çözüm, arzulanan bir olgu, olarak görüldüğü ve bu çözümün kişilere veya kurumlara bağlanmayı reddetme ve modern yaşamın getirdiği sorumluklardan kaçınma yolunda yattığı ortaya konulmaktadır.

Dimensión cultural de la educación: Aproximación a teorías clásicas pensadas a la luz de nuestros días
Authors: Arias Palomeque Mireya Yolanda
Published: November 2020

El presente ensayo consiste en una reflexión sobre las circunstancias culturales actuales en las que la educación tiene lugar. El propósito es comprender a las prácticas educativas como un componente más de la dimensión cultural de la vida humana y, por tanto, atravesada por características de ésta (modernidad, racismo, homogenización). Para esto, hemos repasado a autores clásicos de la vertiente de la Teoría Crítica de la Cultura, tales como Echeverría (2001); Nietzsche (1996); Freud (1992); Adorno y Horkheimer (1998); Quijano (2000); y Castro (2014) y analizamos la vigencia de sus textos. Los principales tópicos a abordarse son: la cultura como esfera imprescindible de la vida humana, las razones que justifican su existencia y ciertas particularidades de esta cultura moderna como las industrias culturales, homogenización y racismo. La conclusión de esta reflexión es que el papel de la educación es, ahora y como siempre, fundamental en la consigna de esbozar una dimensión cultural que genere prácticas y representaciones más justas e igualitarias.

Authors: Franco Mancuello Shirley D.
Published: November 2020

La cuarentena obligatoria dispuesta por el Poder Ejecutivo y el confinamiento de las personas puede ocasionar un impacto diferenciado en la violencia contra las mujeres, niñas y adolescentes. Es por ello que este reporte tiene por objetivo explorar mecanismos no tradicionales para hacer frente a la violencia familiar en la cuarentena por Covid-19 en Paraguay, a través de un reporte con la presentación de datos referentes a denuncias de mujeres tanto en la Policía Nacional, en el Ministerio Público y los juzgados de paz de la República, mediante su sistematización y que han ocurrido durante el mes de marzo de este año. Los resultados indican que durante la primera parte de la cuarentena hubo un aumento considerable de denuncias por violencia familiar y doméstica realizadas ante las dependencias institucionales, y que además de los mecanismos institucionales establecidos por el Gobierno es necesario implementar mecanismos no tradicionales para hacer frente a este flagelo y mitigar sus efectos, a través de la utilización de medios telemáticos, aplicaciones móviles, y la conformación de redes de respuesta rápida en la comunidad, como lo pueden ser las despensas de barrios y farmacias.

Spill-over attack by the gall fly, Urophora stylata, on congeners of its target weed, Cirsium vulgare
Authors: Cripps Michael , Navukula Jovesa , Kaltenbach Benjamin , Van Koten Chikako , Casonato Seona , Gourlay Hugh
Published: November 2020

The gall fly, Urophora stylata, was released in New Zealand in 1998 as a biocontrol agent for the thistle weed, Cirsium vulgare (Scotch thistle). In the summer of 2018, a survey was conducted to assess the field host range of the biocontrol agent in New Zealand.  A random selection of 18 pasture populations under sheep and/or beef production, where C. vulgare was present, was surveyed to quantify the attack intensity (gall size relative to seedhead size) on C. vulgare, and the presence of attack on other thistle weeds within the same population. At each location, seedheads were collected from C. vulgare and all other thistle species (Cardueae) present, which included Cirsium arvense (Californian thistle), Cirsium palustre (marsh thistle), Carduus nutans (nodding thistle), and an Arctium species (burdock). In addition to attack on C. vulgare, the gall fly was recorded on C. arvense (at six locations) and C. palustre (at one location). The probability of the presence of attack on C. arvense was positively correlated with the attack intensity on C. vulgare, suggesting that attack on C. arvense is a ‘spill-over effect’ occurring where seedheads of C. vulgare are in limited supply.

Improving Language Pedagogy through Exploration of Learners’ Errors: An Examination of Undergraduates’ Written Communication
Authors: Farrukh Fizza
Published: November 2020

One major part of language learning pedagogy includes identifying and rectifying discrepancies while communicating through the target language. In such educational settings, the importance of understanding learners’ errors becomes undeniable for both the pupil and pedagogue. Keeping this in forefront, the current investigation sampled two-hundred and ten emails jotted down by ESL (‘English as a Second Language’) students to their teachers. This comparative investigation divided the learners’ emails into two groups; First Semester and Fourth Semester, enrolled in MA English at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Virtual Campus, Islamabad. Utilizing Corder’s Model (1967) and Sawalmeh’s Categorization (2013), the emails were scrutinized and the results established that selected Pakistani learners commit nine different errors regularly in their electronic mail communiqué. Moreover, these outputs were comparatively studied utilizing the statistical software of SPSS (Version 16.0). These results highlighted a significant difference between the two semesters, which revealed a considerable reduction of errors in the learners’ language use as they move from first to fourth semester of the prescribed degree program. Additionally, Richards’ framework (1974) for deciphering source of learners’ errors was employed, which depicted that the first semester students’ first language (Urdu) frequently interferes when they use the second language (English) in writing emails. Meanwhile, the fourth semester students’ language errors majorly contained deviant structures or ignorance of target language’s (English) rules. Considering these findings, the study proposes similar studies to be conducted on other institutes’ pupils and also recommends practical methodologies like corrective feedback for teachers, in aiding learners to fortify their command on English language.

Authors: Manzar-Abbas Syed
Published: November 2020

The study explored the value and the status of practicum in Chinese undergraduate teacher education (CTE) and identified the challenges of practicum in order to layout ways of improvement. The study investigated the problems with reference to international perspective and was delimited to only Chinese undergraduate pre-service teacher education (TE) programme. Using concurrent mixed method design a survey was distributed to 75 student teachers (STs), 50 mentor teachers, and five supervisors. Among participants, 15 STs and 10 mentors were selected using simple random sampling technique from each cooperating school. All the five supervisors, who were assigned supervising duty during practicum in those five schools, were included in the sample. In this way the response rate of STs, mentors, and supervisors was 96% (72), 90% (45), and 100% respectively. Interview was conducted with 10 STs, five supervisors, and five mentor teachers. For collecting qualitative data, STs and mentors were selected using purposive sampling technique. The time and timing of practicum was found inappropriate. The practicum doesn't have due importance in the education, and the mode of practicum being followed is outdated. The application of test development, administering, and scoring skills was being totally ignored during the practicum. Dividing practicum into different phases and active role of faculties and ministry of education in recognizing and communicating the significance of practicum has been suggested.

Conceptualizing Core Practices for Professional Development of Novice Mentors
Authors: Naseem Samina , Crutcher Paul A
Published: November 2020

Purposeful and effective professional development of teacher mentors is often a proposed solution in many of the present debates about education, including teacher quality, teacher retention, and the student achievement gap. The literature about teacher mentoring suggests that if mentors in teacher education programs do not have significant professional development on mentoring, even a thoughtfully organized formal induction program can be ineffective in preparing good teachers, undermined by an unprepared mentor. The purpose of this conceptual paper is to propose a framework of professional development for veteran teachers who are to become mentors. Our framework will have a three-fold effect. The framework is designed to (a) develop or strengthen supportive and collaborative partnerships between schools and teacher education programs; (b) prompt veteran teachers to identify, share, and deconstruct their teaching practices with colleagues and teacher educators; and (c) scaffold teacher learning into research on and best practices in effective mentoring. Ultimately, the framework's aim is to structure the preparation of effective teacher mentors, who will go on to have positive impacts on interns and novice teachers' long-term successes. Notably, based on the research, our Professional Development (PD) framework is situated in schools, about subject area knowledge, and focused on mastery of mentoring skills.

El término Ridículo Político designa una mutación a gran escala en la cultura política. La hipótesis de este artículo es que esta mutación se establece a un nivel estético fundamental para la política. Lo trágico como fundamento de lo político fue reemplazado por lo cómico. Otra hipótesis a analizar es que la transición al fascismo hoy se ha producido mediante el uso metodológico del “ridículo político” transformado en capital, especialmente en procesos electorales marcados por el populismo. Por tanto, el artículo propone introducir el concepto de burla a través de un análisis de lo risible como forma psicopolítica de control y catarsis social.

Language is the medium to communicate with others. Rahman stated in his journal article that “Literature as an identity is referred to as ethno-literature.” (Rahman, 2020). In another article Rahman stated that “Literature is a source of learning and entertainment for readers.” (Rahman, Amir P., & Tammasse, 2019). The impact of communication is very important. Sahib in her journal article stated that “The desire and effort to improve forestry has not shown a delightful or wonderful result.” (Sahib, Rahman, Duli, & Asba, 2019). The point is how to put attention to nature
KASUS PEMERKOSAAN IBU MUDA DAN PEMBUNUHAN ANAK DI ACEH YANG DI TINJAU DARI TATANAN MORAL SUBJEKTIF
Authors: W Brigita Octavia
Published: November 2020

Tatanan moral subjektif merupakan penilaian baik buruk yang ada dalam diri manusia itu sendiri. Penegak tatanan moral subjektif adalah hati nurani dan apabila melanggarnya akan mendapat konsekuensi yaitu rasa bersalah dan berdosa. Manusia sebagai makhluk hidup yang di beri keistimewaan oleh Tuhan YME dengan di anugerahi akal budi sehingga berbeda dengan makhluk hidup yang lainnya. Manusia seharusnya bertindak sesuai dengan akal budi dan hati nuraninya. Pada hakikatnya hati nurani berisi semacam pertimbangan untuk membimbing kehendak manusia pada kebaikan dan hati nurani disebut juga sebagai “Suara Tuhan”, namun kadangkala manusia bertindak tidak sesuai dengan akal budi dan seringkali hati nuraninya tidak sesuai. Bisa kita lihat banyak sekali tindakan-tindakan yang menyimpang dengan tatanan moral subjektif. Kasus pemerkosaan ibu muda dan pembunuhan anak di Aceh merupakan salah satu contoh tindakan yang menyimpang dari tatanan moral subjektif.

Google and Apple Exposure Notifications System: Exposure Notifications or Notified Exposures?
Authors: Duarte Tatiana
Published: November 2020

This paper proposes a legal and architectural inquiry to Google and Apple’s Exposure Notifications system, from a data protection point of view, with the purpose to respond to two main questions. (1) Is the Exposure Notifications framework legal by design? (2) Does it afford legal protection by design? The raw material to answer these questions involves (i) a legal assessment of the contractual framework established between Google and Apple (Gapple) and governments; (ii) a review of relevant aspects of the system architecture; and (iii) the identification of some of the system security vulnerabilities. The contractual assessment reveals the underlying power relations between governments and Gapple regarding the use of the API and the design of national proximity tracking apps. The analysis of the system architecture and of the tools to develop national apps expose contradictions between the available public information on data protection and the functioning of the system. The identified security vulnerabilities show that tracking and profiling are possible if simple attacks are deployed. Our analysis indicates that Gapple’s framework may be an example of legal by design which remains blind to legal protection by design.
Hippocampal volume and navigational ability: The map(ping) is not to scale.
Authors: Weisberg Steven Marc , Ekstrom Arne
Published: November 2020

A critical question regards the neural basis of complex cognitive skill acquisition. One extensively studied skill is navigation, with evidence suggesting that humans vary widely in navigation abilities. Yet, data supporting the neural underpinning of these individual differences are mixed. Some evidence suggests robust structure-function relations between hippocampal volume and navigation ability, whereas other experiments show no such correlation. We focus on several possibilities for these discrepancies: 1) volumetric hippocampal changes are relevant only at the extreme ranges of navigational abilities; 2) hippocampal volume correlates across individuals but only for specific measures of navigation skill; 3) hippocampal volume itself does not correlate with navigation skill acquisition; connectivity patterns are more relevant. To explore this third possibility, we present a model emphasizing functional connectivity changes, particularly to extra-hippocampal structures. This class of models arises from the premise that navigation is dynamic and that good navigators flexibly solve spatial challenges. These models pave the way for research on other skills and provide more precise predictions for the neural basis of skill acquisition.
ISLAM DAN PROBLEMATIKA KEDOKTERAN AKTUAL
Authors: Chanifah Nur
Published: November 2020

Penulisan buku ini dilatarbelakangi dari minimnya referensi dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) yang dikaitkan dengan disiplin ilmu Kedokteran. Mengingat saat ini, bukan eranya dikotomi ilmu pengetahuan lagi, tetapi integrasi dan interkoneksi ilmu pengetahuan. Apalagi saat ini banyak problem aktual yang muncul dalam kehidupan sehari-hari yang membutuhkan solusi penyelesaian, misalnya dalam bidang kedokteran. Ada beberapa problem aktual saat ini yang masih menimbulkan kegalauan di masyarakat, seperti bagaimana hukum bayi tabung, transplantasi organ tubuh, bank sperma, khitan perempuan, transeksual/transgender, dan lain-lain. Tidak hanya pada kalangan masyarakat, banyak kalangan mahasiswa yang belum mengetahui bagaimana hukum dari permasalahan-permasalahan tersebut. Sementara itu, buku ajar yang menjelaskan tentang permasalahan itu belum ada. Padahal itu menjadi salah satu matakuliah wajib di fakultas kedokteran. Untuk itulah buku ini ditulis sebagai referensi wajib mahasiswa kedokteran yang mengambil matakuliah PAI.
PREDICTING OF STEAM CONDENSATION HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT IN HORIZONTAL FLATTENED TUBE
Authors: Ghazi M. Kamil Mohammed , Sabah Kassim Muna , Abd Alazez Mahdi Louay
Published: November 2020

The heat transfer coefficient of steam condensation has a significant role in the performance of air-cooled heat exchangers. The purpose of this work is to predict the local/average local steam condensation heat transfer coefficient inside the horizontal flattened tube under vacuum conditions using numerous correlations that were developed by some researches which have been conducted under specified conditions. The results from these correlations have been compared with experimental data of Davies, therefore more investigate for the values are necessary to improve or/and validate the existing correlations. The effect of such parameters like the uniform heat flux and saturation temperature also have been studied on the local steam condensation heat transfer coefficient as the results show that the heat transfer coefficient decrease as the heat flux increase, while it increases as the steam saturated temperature increase.

Authors: Subhi Attallah Marwah
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the influence of adding eggshell and calcium carbonate powder reinforced with glass fibers and epoxy resin. Hand Lay-up method was utilized for the preparation of samples from epoxy resin as a matrix material with (6%weight fraction chopped glass fiber) and (2%,4%, 6% & 8% weight fraction eggshell, CaCO3 powder) as filler material. The tensile and impact properties are tested for the specimens containing calcium carbonate and eggshell powder reinforced with glass fiber and epoxy resins, also the result analyzed by (SPSS) to determine the specimens have best mechanical properties. The mean particle size analyzer of the eggshell powder and calcium carbonate powder were (12.6µm, 0.4-1µm) respectively. The results showed that the mean values of tensile test, modulus of elasticity, impact strength and fracture toughness (247.50,222.00MPa) (8.450,7.500 GPa) (8.150, 7. 500K.J/m2) (9.1675, 7.8345 MPa.m1/2) respectively increased with the addition (6% glass fiber+8%CaCO2, eggshell), while the mean values of the elongation percentage at break (%) decrease with the addition (6% glass fiber+8%CaCO2). The SPSS statistical shown the values was significantly increased whenever the value (Sig < 0.05).

Published: November 2020

The volumes of the water reservoirs flooded with high-rise hydrotechnical facilities, including high-rise earth dams, often range from several hundreds of millions to tens of billions of cubic meters and even more. The present paper describes the methodology to calculate the social-economic losses for the facilities flooded and destroyed by a tsunami-type wave in case of a possible high-rise hydraulic facility accident.The social-economic damage caused by a dam failure can be viewed as a sum of dam-age caused by human victim, destruction of hydraulic and industrial facilities and agricul-ture, pond economy, forestry and communal services.
