Design of Aircraft Air Conditioning System Turbomachine with Electric Compressor and Use of Vapor Compression and Water Evaporation Cooling
Authors: Zharov Anton A. , Leonov Viktor P. , Tishchenko Igor V. , Mikerov Ivan A.
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, air is taken from engine compressors to address the needs of aviation air conditioning systems (ACSs) because the air in the environment is rarefied, and maintainining a high pressure that is comfortable for passengers is required in the cabins [1–3]. This solution consumes a considerable amount of energy because the air is extracted from compressors at significantly high pressure. Therefore, the ACS works at all flight altitudes.
The use of ACS without air extraction from airplane engines with an autonomous electric compressor is proposed [5–7]. As a cooling unit, the utilization of a combined scheme using a traditional air cycle with a turbo cooler and a vapor compression refrigeration machine with the possibility of operation in heat pump mode and additional water evaporative cooling is proposed.
This work aims to calculate and justify the energy efficiency of the proposed scheme of aircraft ACS without air extraction from the marching engines and auxiliary propulsion system using an electric compressor, a steam compression refrigeration machine with heat pump mode, and water vapor cooling. The paper also aims to design and compare the turbo compressor impeller using traditional methods and modern modeling tools to conclude its prospects.
METHODS: Computational comparative study of traditional and proposed schemes of ACS. Calculation of compressor wheel flow part using traditional methods and CFX modeling.
RESULTS: A reduction in power consumption of ACS during summer parking on the ground by 10 times and that in cruising flight by 16.6 times is observed when using the proposed scheme. The comparison result of calculations of the turbine unit using the classical method and CFX modeling revealed that the same initial data yielded a slightly different geometry of the impeller. This difference is due to modeling, which considers the reality of the properties of the working gas and internal overflows.
CONCLUSION: The proposed scheme of ACS has considerable energy efficiency. Thus, conducting a comprehensive comparative analysis with traditional solutions on all indicators is reasonable. Overall, 3D modeling of the turbomachine flow part shows a real illustration of parameter changes. However, using 2D modeling for approximate and preliminary calculations is reasonable because it solves the problem quite accurately.

Published: October 2023

Background: PROM occurs in 10% of all pregnancies. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in pregnancy. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), occurring in 2-11% of pregnancies, is a significant predisposition to the development of pyelonephritis and UTI, which are associated with obstetrical complications, such as preterm labor and low birth weight infants.
Methods: This study was carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, over a period of 6 Months from July 2011 to December 2011.
Results: A total of 100 patients of PROM were included in this study within this period. The mean age was 27.10±4.49 (SD) years in patients’ of PROM, and the prevalence of gestational week was found at 26 (26%) at 30 weeks, 20 (20%) at 32 weeks, 22 (22%) at 33 weeks, 28 (28%) were at 34 weeks, and 4 (4%) were at 39 weeks. Most of the cases were no growth (84%), E. coli (12%), Streptococcus (2%), Candida (1%), and anaerobs (1%). 52% were preterm, and 42% were term delivery. 40% developed chorioamnionitis, 10% developed puerperal sepsis, and 8% developed DIC, and this prospective observational study revealed that 16% of cases of PROM patients’ were associated with urinary tract infection.
Conclusions: This study was undertaken to determine the bacteriological assessment of urine of patient’s with premature rupture of membrane. It is found that 16% of patients’ with PROM have urinary tract infection with E. coli, Group B streptococcus, anaerobs, and candida organisms.

Authors: Sontakke Bhavana , Arora Ruchi , Patel Shilpa M. , Parekh Chetana
Published: October 2023

Background: We aim to study the correlation of thrombocytosis and hyperfibrinogenemia with ovarian tumors and its role in the diagnosis of ovarian malignancy. And to evaluate the platelet and fibrinogen levels in early and advanced stage ovarian disease.
Methods: This is a single centre prospective study. We evaluated plasma fibrinogen levels and plasma platelet levels in 250 patients in women presenting in our OPD with adnexal masses/ovarian tumors. Thrombocytosis was defined as a platelet count greater than >410,000/uL. Hyperfibrinogenemia was defined as a fibrinogen level higher than 360 mg/dL. The association between plasma fibrinogen, platelet levels and clinico-pathological, histopathological parameters were investigated in regards to: 1. Malignant or benign ovarian tumor. 2. Early or advanced disease in malignant ovarian tumors. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to identify an independent association.
Results: Thrombocytosis and hyperfibrinogenemia are seen to be associated with malignant ovarian tumors. In a multivariate model, plasma fibrinogen and plasma platelet levels were identified to be independently associated with the malignant ovarian tumours. Within the EOC cohort, patients with advanced stage disease had higher plasma fibrinogen levels than patients with early stage.
Conclusions: In this study, we demonstrated that both thrombocytosis and hyperfibrinogenemia were positively associated with malignant ovarian tumors. They were also associated with advanced disease stage, elevated CA125 level and other markers. These finding are in accordance with the previous published data from patients with ovarian cancer, indicating that the platelet and fibrinogen levels increase in parallel with tumor progression and metastasis. Thus confirming the role of elevated platelet and fibrinogen levels in diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian Malignancy.

Authors: Mor Shreya S. , Lewis Preeti F. , Bavdekar Nitin
Published: October 2023

Background: The present study was conducted at our tertiary health centre with the objective of analyzing contraceptive trends and fetal outcome in women with various interpregnancy interval (IPI).
Methods: The present study was a prospective observational study. Women were segregated into three categories as per their IPI (short, normal and long) and contraceptive trends and fetal outcome were deliberated. All women attending ANC clinic with previous pregnancy, regardless of outcome and registration status were included in our study.
Results: We found that 21.1% of women with short IPI were unaware about contraception and this difference was statistically significant. It was seen that among women not using any method of contraception, majority had short ICP, almost 31.1% cases. This difference was also statistically significant. Amidst those with adverse outcomes of previous pregnancy, i.e. 169 cases, 87 cases i.e. 51.5% of the women conceived within 2 years. Short IPI is linked with an escalated risk of low birth weight, preterm birth and congenital anomaly whereas long IPI caused large for gestational age babies.
Conclusions: Contraception and previous pregnancy outcome have a significant effect on interpregnancy interval which in turn affects the maternal and fetal outcome. So it is essential to maintain an optimum interpregnancy interval as most of these complications are avoidable. Short interpregnancy interval is associated with low birth weight, preterm and congenital anomaly whereas long interpregnancy interval is associated with large for gestational age babies.

Published: October 2023

Background: Anxiety and depression may affect 20-40% of pregnant women with concerns about foetal well-being, maternal health, social and financial support, and even death. During the COVID Era, fear of contracting illness, restricted availability of healthcare services, and stresses secondary to job loss were expected which led to an increase in pre-existing psychopathology as well as new onset of psychiatric disturbances. Hence it was decided to carry on a screening study to evaluate psychological stress among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemics related to it.
Methods: A questionnaire-based prospective study was conducted amongst pregnant women visiting Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh in three months (June 2020 to August 2020) during the COVID Era. Among 162 subjects, 30 pregnant healthcare workers and 32 COVID-positive pregnant women were included. All COVID-appropriate behaviour and precautions were followed while filling out the questionnaires.
Results: Fear symptoms were present in 52.5% of pregnant women. All the fears were significantly more amongst the healthcare workers which could be due to more knowledge or since they were direct observers of COVID load. Fear of breastfeeding was more common among COVID-19 positives and was significant.
Conclusions: Screening and education should be made necessary components of prenatal care with the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach to tackle this aspect of maternal mental health.

Published: October 2023

Osseous metaplasia of endometrium is an uncommon condition which presents as a bone in endometrium. The pathophysiology of this condition is still not understood completely. Many theories have been formulated to explain its occurrence. Most patients with this disorder present with 2o amenorrhoea or 2o infertility. Here, we present a case of 22 years old woman presenting to us with secondary amenorrhoea. Ultrasonography showed echogenic calcified endometrium suggestive of calcification. Hysteroscopy was done which revealed bony fragments in uterine cavity, which were removed, procedure went uneventful and patient was started on oestrogen and progesterone for endometrium regeneration. Histopathology report was suggestive of osseous metaplasia of endometrium.

Authors: U. Lakshmi V. , M. Janaki Menon C. , Johnson Alida , Sabu Joann , P. Narmadha M.
Published: October 2023

Menstruation is a process that induces a series of hormonal and structural changes in the female reproductive system to foster pregnancy. Pre-menstrual syndromes usually occur 5-7 days before a menstrual period with altered levels of estrogen, progesterone, and serotonin at the beginning of the cycle as well as ovarian steroids that modulate cognitive activity. Around 150 known symptoms of PMS may be experienced in women during menstruation varying from cramps, mood swings, breast soreness, bloating, acne, food cravings, excessive thirst and fatigue, influencing the quotidian routine of women. About 3–8% of women experience more drastic problems like premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Even though half of the global female population is of reproductive age, menstruation is still one of the most stigmatized topics from a societal perspective. Lack of proper awareness about menstruation and the factors affecting it may precipitate misconceptions or discrimination, leading to physical health risks, hence preventing the development of public health habits. This article aims to explore the probable complementary or contrary factors influencing the cycle of a woman that may help to safeguard her health without any stress, menstrual shame or barriers to information during menstruation which is a fundamental issue of human rights, dignity and public health.

Authors: Rahman Wan Suriza Wan Ab , Awang Isa Junaidi , Abd Hadi Imi Sairi
Published: October 2023

Background: The use of preoperative chemotherapy also increased the rate of breast conserving surgery in breast cancer. This study aims to assess the type of chemotherapy and biological markers that associated with pathological complete response in our population.
Methods: This is a data analysis involving breast cancer patients confirmed pathologically that underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy in Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II from January 2018 to December 2021. Retrospective sampling was done using Sistem Pengurusan Pesakit (SPP) which is a hospital-generated database. All patients were given standard chemotherapy regimens.
Results: A total of 59 patients enrolled in this study. Half of the patients were luminal A (48%), luminal B and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) were both 23%. All patients received antracyclin as neoadjuvant regime and 54% had a combination with Docetaxel. Only 1 patient achieved pCR which was TNBC, given Antracyclin + Taxane regime. Tumour reduction >90% highest in TNBC group and using FEC regime. Factors associated with survival were age and miller payne grade. The only pCR was achieved in triple negative breast cancer as being showed by previous study. Tumour loss with more than 30% is equal comparing Antracyline only group and Antracyline + Taxane group.
Conclusions: Antracyline + Taxane regime chemotherapy is still the regime of choice for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer. Triple negative breast cancer patients should receive preoperative chemotherapy as they will have a higher rate of pCR.

Published: October 2023

Background: Dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) is a subset of cerebral venous thrombosis, and its presentation depends mainly on the sinus involved. The use of modern imaging techniques allows earlier diagnosis of DVST. Aims and objectives were to study the outcome and prognosis of DVST after head injury.
Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care surgical intensive care unit (ICU) in central India on patients admitted to Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, in the period from January 2020 to December 2020, suffering from traumatic brain injuries, suspected of dural venous sinus/cortical vein thrombosis. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was recorded at the time of admission and regular follow-ups were every fortnightly done for 6 months. Statistical analysis was done with the help of Epi-Info 7 software.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 43.78 years. The most common computed tomography (CT) finding was that temporo-occipital hemorrhage/edema was present in 12 (24%) patients, followed by frontotemporal hemorrhage/edema in 10 (20%) patients. Out of 50 suspected cases based on CT findings only 15 patients were confirmed with the diagnosis of DVST by MRV. There was a shift of patients from moderate and severe GCS to mild GCS in subsequent follow-up.
Conclusions: Head trauma constitutes a potent risk factor for developing thrombosis of the dural venous sinus. Good imaging studies allow us to make an accurate diagnosis and timely management of these patients will give us good results.

Published: October 2023

Pancreatic ascites is a dreaded complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. It’s a therapeutic challenge with its effect on nutrition and the associated complications. Pancreatic ascites can lead to formation of pseudo aneurysm by direct erosion of vessel, but extra splanchnic vascular complications are rare. In this series of 5 cases, we report an unusual incidence of extra splanchnic vascular complications in cases of pancreatic ascites. Out of the 21 cases of pancreatic ascites treated over a period of 2 years (February 2021 to February 2023) in our centre, we encountered 5 cases with vascular complications in the extra splanchnic circulatory system like pulmonary, cerebral, and cardiac. All these cases didn’t show a thrombus in IVC or leg veins in Doppler study. Among these 5 patients, three succumbed to the complications. This highlights the need of targeted evaluation for thrombosis in systemic circulation, especially pulmonary circulation for all patients of pancreatic ascites. Though a causal association cannot be proved by this report, the increased incidence of pulmonary thrombosis in pancreatic ascites patients need further evaluation and work up and detailed analysis. Targeted evaluation and urgent treatment in the form of anticoagulation along with surgical or endoscopic treatment of pancreatic leak may halt the ongoing pro coagulation cascade.

Authors: Vashistha Aakansha , Jain R. K. , Garg Paheli , Verma Kush
Published: October 2023

The nose being the central unit is an important structure with a social and psychological significance. The reconstruction of nasal defects is complex as it involves the reconstruction of three separate structural layers which should be properly restored to maintain a functional nasal airway and an acceptable appearance. In this study, the aim was to reconstruct the 3D contour, border, outline and symmetry of the nose in post-traumatic defects with a forehead flap cover. A prospective study was conducted in the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery, over 3 years, 20 patients with post-traumatic nasal deformity were included in the study. The defects were categorized based on the subunits involved. The parameters recorded were age, sex, mode of injury, existing co-morbidities, habit of smoking and alcohol, any previous scar on the forehead, and history of previous surgery. Twenty patients underwent resection, out of which 13 (65%) were males and 7 (35%) were females using a para-median forehead flap cover. The most common mode of injury was road traffic accident in 12 (60%) cases, followed by animal/human bite in 5 (20%) cases and sharp cut injury in 3(15%) cases. (50%) patients required an intermediate stage after 3 weeks in which flap thinning was done with or without cartilage placement. Complications included suture dehiscence in one case for which re-suturing was done. 60% of patients were very satisfied with the results, and only 1 patient was unsatisfied. The forehead flap is a reliable choice for reconstruction in post-traumatic defects due to excellent color and texture match. Immediate reconstruction can be done in all the patients after adequate debridement under antibiotic coverage. Full thickness defects including the lining can be easily addressed by folding the flap.

Published: October 2023

The dependence of the process of cognition and understanding in any field of knowledge on the quality of semiotization, the detailed naming of cognition objects has always been a cognitive problem, although not always a realized one. The purpose of this work is to consider the relationship between the the semiotic system development and the cognition process in one of the natural sciences, namely, in chemistry. As a working hypothesis, we assume that there is a direct relationship between the processes of cognition and the study of reality from in terms of chemistry and semiotic coding of knowledge about the interaction of substances. At the same time, the processes of cognition and the ways of encoding information, resulted from the cognitive process, mutually affect each other. The semiotic system development, reflecting the knowledge level, is determined by the work on cognition objects, and also the way of coding knowledge stimulates new hypotheses or even conclusions about the object of research in chemistry. In the first part of this article, we consider the features of reflection in the signs of chemistry knowledge in the earlier times, including the alchemical period. The research method consists of the diachronic semiotic analyzing the concepts of chemistry language and signs from the Ancient till the New time. The study results confirm the hypothesis put forward.
Ontology of inner-body sensations in the focus of fundamental
and applied research
Authors: Atakuev Magomet N.
Published: October 2023

Inner-body sensations (interoceptive sensations) have only recently become a full object of philosophy. This is due to the fact that the naturalistic theory of phenomenal consciousness is expanding by new empirical data and requiring philosophical analysis. Also, the traditional object of cognitive sciences is being transformed into a multidimensional philosophical category. At the same time, the study of the mechanisms of the inner-body experience linguistic conceptualization is acquiring particular importance. This article attempts to reveal the complex nature of interoceptive sensations and to show the dependence of the "interoception" volume and content properties on the methodological limitations of various approaches. The article analyzes the stages of the "interoception" concept formation in the cognitive sciences and in the philosophy of consciousness, and identifies the causes of semantic shifts this concept content. The truth of the thesis about the complementarity of the concepts of "interoception" and "qualia" in the ontological aspect of phenomenal consciousness is substantiated.
Young people's attitudes towards films about the Great Patriotic War: viewing expectations and genre preferences
Authors: Zernov Dmitry Vasilievich , Shalyutina Nadezhda Vladimirovna
Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of two author's researches of young people's attitude towards films about the Great Patriotic War: "History in cinema: the problems of remediation" (10 focus groups) and "The Memory of the War in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Cinematography: the Young Audience View" (questionnaire survey, n = 2003).The authors identified the main narratives of interest to young audiences. It was noted that the films popular among young people are multi-genre works which combine historical accuracy and autobiographical, melodramatic and action-film elements.The viewing motivation associated with watching films about the Great Patriotic War, analyzed in terms of the theory of usage and satisfaction, is a complex system of expectations. The authors distinguish 6 groups of normative expectations: identity and integration; establishment of pleasant environment and recognition; tension and sensation seeking; authenticity and cognitive satisfaction; escapism and imagination; surprise and spectacularity.Historical war films fulfil social functions (meeting young people's expectations of integration, establishing a pleasant environment and credibility), while being an entertaining media product appropriate to the youth mediahabitus (meeting expectations of spectacle, suspense and escapism). The authors state that historical films devoted to the events of the Great Patriotic War manage to successfully maintain a balance between format (proximity in terms of style and language to the youth audience) and content (ideological, patriotic message).
The "Logic" of the natural language functioning in the Oxford School philosophy
Authors: Chistanova Svetlana
Published: October 2023

This article focuses on the linguistic philosophy, specifically on John Austin's theory of speech acts. This theory examines the speech acts in the situation of direct communication. The theory author divides the speech acts into three action types, and introduces terms for their designation: locutionary, illocutionary, perlocutionary acts. Austin tried to identify and classify illocutionary verbs, but he did not give a precise definition or criteria for classification; he proposed dividing all the verbs into 'classes of use', upon that, the same verb could belong to different classes. The article author analyzes the speech act theory development lines, particularly, the research of John Rogers Searle, who was a follower of J. Austin. He introduced such terms as illocutionary point, conditions of satisfaction, direction of fit. These three terms allow him to identify five varieties of speech acts: assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, declaratives. It is Searle's philosophy of language that remains popular among linguists who try to find the structural rules that create the phenomenon. The article discusses other development variants of John Austin's ideas, related to the speech communication modelling and discourse theory. The author concludes by pointing out the weaknesses of the everyday language theory.

The article is based on the synthesis of research advances of Russian and foreign authors covering the issues of young people’s self-identification and the practices of their association. This interest is caused by the project implemented in the Samara region «Youth Identity and consolidation practice: regional aspect». The article uses the research results of foreign scientists, which discuss the issues of digital, ethnic-racial, religious identities, as well as the identities of poor youth in the context of establishing the consumer culture values. The results of the All-Russian project «Z Generation Eventivity» (2018) on the childhood eventivity, directed by S.N. Mayorova-Shcheglova, are significant. The research results on the issue under study, obtained in the Samara region, are important. These studies are on the social and medical volunteering, the importance of the activities of folk performance teams for preserving and developing the Russian culture. It was found that the identity problems in foreign studies are mainly placed in the context of consolidation practices of various minorities, socially vulnerable, discriminated youth groups. Russian studies have another approach: the self-identification issues are considered as related to various activities of the young people, their participation in various prosocial groups. We consider the second approach to be more productive in the Russian conditions.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the digital transformation of the labor market through the prism of digital competencies. The first and second sections provide an overview of digital competencies in the modern world. In the conditions of the digital economy, new professions are emerging, the education system is being revised with an emphasis on the continuity of the educational process and learning throughout life. This is especially relevant in the context of involving able-bodied older people in the digital environment. High-speed digitalization processes are becoming a common challenge for the education system and the state, business and employees themselves. At a certain stage, the question arises about how employers perceive the changes taking place and what are the requirements of modern Russian employers for digital competencies of employees. Based on the mentioned theoretical ideas, the authors conducted a sociological study of the attitude of employers to digital competencies of employees, the results of which are presented in the second section. The authors came to the conclusion that the importance of digital capital of employees is increasing, but the "digital capital" itself is undergoing constant changes. This is expressed in an ever-expanding list of "basic" digital skills.

Authors: Sanif Sazuliana , Khatoon Rabia
Published: October 2023

The current study was envisioned to examine the influence of task-based writing instruction (TBWI) on learners’ knowledge of collocations and its impact on the writing performance of a sample of 20 students registered in undergraduate programs at a college in Pakistan. English language teaching (ELT) practitioners and researchers have been promoting Task based language teaching (TBLT) as an important component of language pedagogy curricula in many nations across the world. In the current study, tasks were used as the principal part of teaching, and a mixture of consciousness-raising and communicative task-based materials were used to develop learners' understanding of collocations in writing narrative essays. To enable the research process, the writing samples were collected at the start and end of the study to evaluate any language development in second language performance. Quantitative content analysis was used in terms of language complexity, fluency, and accuracy to analyze the written work to comprehend the development in the learners’ understanding of collocations and their use to improve writing skills after they have been instructed using Task Based Language teaching methodology. The results of the data implied vital signs of improvement in the level of learners’ knowledge of collocations and writing performance in terms of language performance with regards to language complexity, accuracy and fluency.

The objective of the study was to determine, from the perspective of Jordanian instructors, how social studies teachers contribute to students' development of citizenship. The study sample was made up of (82) male and female instructors, with the study population being all social studies educators. A 40-item questionnaire covering four domains—values of belonging, values of involvement, values of political knowledge, and values of respect for others—was created to help the study's goals be met. The survey indicated that secondary school students had a high degree of acquiring civic ideals. The findings also showed that there were no statistically significant variations in social studies instructors' typical reactions to the degree of civic virtue among Jordanian secondary school students. The findings also revealed that, according to academic degree, specialty, and experience, there were statistically significant disparities between the average responses of social studies instructors to the degree of development of citizenship ideals among secondary school students. It is evident that secondary school students have a high level of civic consciousness. Based on the study findings, it is necessary to establish programs that allow students to practice the values of citizenship and apply them to their families and societies.

TALAS AMERİKAN KOLEJİ ÖZELİNDE MİSYONER OKULLARINA SOSYOLOJİK BİR BAKIŞ
Authors: GÖVER İbrahim Hakan
Published: October 2023

Barınma ve gıda insanların biyolojik anlamda varlıklarını sürdürebilmeleri için ne anlam ifade ediyorsa eğitim de insanların sosyal anlamda var olabilmeleri ve toplumsal statü elde edebilmeleri için aynı anlamı ifade etmektedir. Eğitimin taşıdığı bu önemin farkında olan bazı dini örgütler ve yapılar, tarihsel süreç içerisinde dil, din ve ırk ayrımı gözetmeksizin çeşitli ülkelere eğitim hizmeti götürmüşlerdir. Literatürde kapsamlı çalışmalara ve tartışmalara konu olan misyoner yapıların sahada karşılaştıkları zorluklar sonrası kendilerini yeniden tanımladıkları ve hizmet götürdükleri ülkeleri değiştirirken aslında kendilerinin de değiştiği görülmektedir. Bu tür faaliyet yürüten örgütlerden biri de “American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions” dır (Kısaca ABCFM ya da Amerikan Board). Bu kuruluş, 1820’li yıllardan itibaren Osmanlı topraklarında misyonerlik faaliyetleri yürütmüş ve Anadolu’da çok sayıda okul açmıştır. Amerikan Board’un açtığı bu okullardan biri de 1871-1967 yılları arasında faaliyet gösteren Kayseri Talas Amerikan Kolejidir. Bu okul hakkında özellikle tarih, eğitim ve mimarlık alanlarında çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmış ancak misyonerlik faaliyetlerini ve okulu sosyolojik açıdan ele alan bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada misyonerlik faaliyetleri ve Talas Amerikan Kolejinin bölge halkı üzerindeki etkilerinin sosyolojik açıdan değerlendirilmesi amaç edinilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında konu ile ilgili literatürün yanı sıra Amerikan Board’un arşiv belgelerinden de yararlanılmıştır.
ROSSUM’UN EVRENSEL ROBOTLARI: LÜKS KOMÜNİZMDEN TANRININ GAZABINA GELECEK VİZYONLARINI GÜNCEL SİYASETTE YENİDEN KONUMLANDIRMAK

Karel Čapek’in kaleme aldığı Rossumovi Univerzalni Roboti isimli tiyatro oyunu araçsal aklın egemen olduğu ve otomasyonun insanlığı çalışma zorunluluğundan kurtardığı bir dünyada robotların yönetime geçtikleri bir hikâye etrafında şekillenmektedir. Robot kelimesinin ilk kez kullanıldığı bu oyun, robotik otomasyon etrafında gelişebilecek muhtemel yeni toplumsal ilişki ve çelişkilere odaklanmakta ve bu sosyo-politik bağlamda formüle edilen gelecek vizyonlarına dair bir seri tahayyüle geniş yer ayırmaktadır. Bu gelecek vizyonları toplumun otomasyona dayalı olarak yeniden inşa edileceği refah ütopyalarından insan türünün son bulacağı kıyamet beklentilerine kadar geniş bir skalada yer almaktadır. Čapek’in farklı toplumsal kesimlerin kültürel eğilimlerini ve siyasal pozisyonlarını dikkate alarak formüle ettiği siyasal vizyonlar, güncel fütüroloji tartışmaları ve direniş eğilimleri ile yapısal paralelliklere sahiptir. Bu paralellikler transhümanizm tartışmalarından yeni luddizme, spiritüal direniş arayışlarından yeni-hümanizm biçimlerine ve sosyalizmin yeni ufuklarına değin uzanmaktadır. Bu makalede Čapek’in kaleme aldığı kurgusal dünyada yer bulan siyasal çatışma hatları ve gelecek tahayyülleri analiz edilecek, güncel siyaset ve fütüroloji tartışmaları bu çerçevede yeniden değerlendirilecektir.
