Sensitive skin and its management
Authors: Hassan Iffat , Krishan Kewal
Published: October 2021

Sensitive skin is a self-diagnosed condition and is usually not accompanied by any obvious physical signs of irritation. Patients with this syndrome usually have unpleasant sensations whenever exposed to any physical, thermal or chemical stimuli that normally cause no provocation on healthy skin. Cosmetics, skin barrier impairment, and climate changes are the main contributing factors for skin hyperactivity. Although diagnosis is challenging due to lack of any specific or preferred diagnostic methods and interventions, recent studies on different clinical aspects of sensitive skin have provided new approaches to the diagnosis, management and interventions targeting the pathophysiology and treatment of sensitive skin syndrome. In general, patients with sensitive skin need an individual approach, keeping in view the various biomedical, neural, and psychosocial factors affecting sensitive skin.

The diagnosis of resistant arterial hypertension allows us to single out a separate group of patients in whom it is necessary to use special diagnostic methods and approaches to treatment. Elimination of reversible factors leading to the development of resistant arterial hypertension, such as non-adherence to therapy, inappropriate therapy, secondary forms of arterial hypertension, leads to an improvement in the patient's prognosis. Most patients with resistant hypertension should be evaluated to rule out primary aldosteronism, renal artery stenosis, chronic kidney disease, and obstructive sleep apnea. The algorithm for examining patients, recommendations for lifestyle changes and a step-by-step therapy plan can improve blood pressure control. It is optative to use the most simplified treatment regimen and long-acting combined drugs. For a separate category of patients, it is advisable to perform radiofrequency denervation of the renal arteries.

Aim. Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the modified refralon administration protocol for the relief of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
Materials and methods. The study included 39 patients (19 men, mean age 6312.8 years). All patients, after excluding contraindications in the intensive care unit, were injected intravenously with refralon at an initial dose of 5 mg/kg. If AF was preserved and there were no contraindications, after 15 min, repeated administration was performed at a dose of 5 mg/kg (total dose of 10 mg/kg). After another 15 min, while maintaining AF and the absence of contraindications, the third injection of the drug was performed at a dose of 10 mg/kg (total dose of 20 mg/kg). In the absence of relief and the absence of contraindications, another injection of refralon at a dose of 10 mg/kg was performed after another 15 min (in this case, the maximum total dose of 30 mg/kg was reached). After each injected bolus and before the introduction of the next one, the ECG parameters and the general condition of the patient were assessed. The patient was monitored for 24 hours to exclude the arrhythmogenic effect and other possible adverse events.
Results. Restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) was noted in 37 patients out of 39 (95%). Of these, 19 people (48.7%) had SR recovery after the administration of a minimum dose of refralone of 5 mg/kg. The effectiveness of the total dose of 10 mg/kg was 76.9%, the dose of 20 mg/kg was 89.7%, and the dose of 30 mg/kg was 95%. Only two patients did not recover HR after administration of the maximum dose of refralon 30 mg/kg. Pathological prolongation of the QTc interval (500 ms) was recorded in 5% of patients. Not a single case of ventricular arrhythmogenic action (induction of Torsade de pointes) has been reported. Bradyarrhythmias (pauses, bradycardia) were registered in 13% of cases, were of a transient nature.
Conclusion. Refralon has a high efficiency of relief (95%) of paroxysmal AF, while in almost half of cases (48.7%), SR recovery is achieved using the minimum dose of refralon 5 mg/kg. Despite the prolongation of the QTc500 ms recorded in 5% of cases, none of the patients developed Torsade de pointes after administration of the drug.
Optimization of specific therapy for pulmonary hypertension: the possibilities of riociguat
Authors: Martynyuk Tamila V. , Shmalts Anton A. , Gorbachevsky Sergey V. , Chazova Irina E.
Published: October 2021

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe and often rapidly progressive disease with fatal outcome. Endothelial dysfunction in PH is associated with decreased nitric oxide production. After reviewing the mechanisms of action and the evidence base for specific therapy with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE-5) and soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators, a reseach review on switching from PDE-5 to riociguat is conducted. A potential advantage of riociguat is its independence from endogenous nitric oxide and from the other (besides PDE-5) isoenzymes of phosphodiesterases. The favorable efficacy profile of sildenafil has been proven for the main forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension, of riociguat for the main forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic PH. The clinical efficacy of replacing PDE-5 with riociguat has been demonstrated in uncontrolled trials and in the randomized controlled study REPLACE. The possibility of therapy optimization by switching from IFDE-5 to riociguat is fixed in the Russian (class and level of evidence B-3) and Eurasian (class and level of evidence IIb-B) clinical guidelines, as well as in the materials of the Cologne Expert Consensus. An additional argument for switching is the lower cost as compared to combination therapy in the Russian Federation. According to the Russian and Eurasian guidelines for PH and the Russian instructions for the use of riociguat, the drug should be taken at least 24 hours after sildenafil discontinuation.

Authors: Shmalts Anton A. , Gorbachevsky Sergey V.
Published: October 2021

After reviewing the current definitions and classification of pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with congenital heart disease (CHD), based on an analysis of 59 clinical trials (of which 14 are randomized controlled trials) drugs registered in the Russian Federation, the evidence base for PH therapy in adults with CHD is provided. The presence of a randomized controlled trial of bosentan BREATHE-5 and uncontrolled trials of other drugs became the basis for a higher class and level of evidence of bosentan (IB) compared to other drugs (IIaC) for Eisenmenger syndrome in the current European (ERS/ESC 2015) and updated Russian (2020) guidelines. According to the updated European (ESC 2020) guidelines for congenital heart disease in adults, in Eisenmenger patients with reduced exercise capacity (6MWT distance 450 m), a treatment strategy with initial endothelin receptor antagonist monotherapy should be considered followed by combination therapy if patients fail to improve (IIaB), in low- and intermediate-risk patients with repaired simple lesions and pre-capillary PH, initial oral combination therapy or sequential combination therapy is recommended and high-risk patients should be treated with initial combination therapy including parenteral prostanoids (IA) and endothelin receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors may be considered in selected patients with elevated pulmonary pressure/resistance in the absence of elevated ventricular end diastolic pressure (IIbC). Only three (bosentan, macitentan and selexipag) out of seven specific pulmonary vasodilators registered in the Russian Federation have indications for pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease and Eisenmenger syndrome or pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with corrected simple congenital heart disease in the instructions for use.

Fat cardiomyopathy in patients with severe degree of obesity. Case report
Authors: Miklishanskaya Sofia V. , Stukalova Olga V. , Solomasova Lilia V. , Mazur Nikolai A.
Published: October 2021

Currently, the world is constantly increasing the number of people with obesity. As was shown by the Framingham study, obesity is a risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases. The effect of obesity on the structure and function of the heart is manifested in the form of cardiac remodeling, the effect on energy metabolism in the heart and infiltration of both myocardium with lipids, and an increase in the accumulation of adipose tissue in the pericardium, imbalance of adipokines and activation of inflammatory markers. Cardiac remodeling occurs primarily due to thickening of the left ventricle (LV) walls and an increase in the LV myocardium mass. Systolic dysfunction of the heart is less common in obese individuals compared with diastolic dysfunction. However, more modern methods (tissue Doppler, visualization of the deformation of the chambers of the heart strain imaging) reveal a subclinical decrease in systolic function in people with obesity. It is not fully known whether obesity is associated with systolic dysfunction, regardless of other risk factors. In any case, it has been proven that heart failure in people with obesity can develop independently of other risk factors. As an illustration, we give an example when the presence of obesity and concomitant pathology (arterial hypertension, diabetes) led to the development of systolic dysfunction with a decrease in the LV ejection fraction to 35% (fat cardiopathy), which show the potential for the influence of both obesity itself and in combination with concomitant diseases to lead to severe systolic heart failure.
Influence of Soil-Structure Interaction on the Seismic Response of the Structure on Mat Foundation
Authors: Awchat G. D. , Monde A. S.
Published: October 2021

The disasters that occur due to seismic activities not only affect the structure but also soil beneath it. Neglecting the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) in design leads to unsafe design. This paper focuses on the behavior of the structure under El-Centro earthquake considering soil-structure interaction (SSI). Seismic response of G+10 storied building in various seismic zones of India is obtained using Time-history method. The direct approach i.e., finite element analysis is used to analyze effect of SSI. The model with mat foundation and soil is compared with fixed base model in SAP 2000 v.20. The behavior of the structure is studied by parameters like inter-storey drift ratio, lateral storey displacements, response spectrum curves for spectral acceleration and spectral velocity for various damping and time period of different seismic zones of India. The parameter like inter-storey drift ratio can determine safety of the structures. From inter-storey drift ratios, the buildings in zone IV and zone V were found to be unsafe. The lateral storey drift was found to increase by 47-87% considering SSI in zone II and 60-95% considering SSI in Zone II, IV and V. It also increased with increase in storey number. The spectral acceleration, spectral velocity and time period increased by considering effects of SSI in each seismic zone. The spectral acceleration and spectral velocity found to decrease with increase in damping and increase in seismic zones from zone II to V. Further to reduce the effect of SSI the structures can be equipped with base isolators and various types of dampers. It is clear that from zone III to V, SSI should be included for structures on soft soil and for retrofitting of the structure. Some experimental studies can further be performed and the numerical modelling can include parameters like P-delta, angle of incidence of ground motions and various structural systems can be implemented in this study. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091752 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Okeke Francis O. , Gyoh Louis , Echendu Ifeanyi F.
Published: October 2021

People, cities, nations and the world, in general, would remain largely underdeveloped without transportation systems. However, Transportation puts significant pressure on land use and poses a great challenge to urban sustainability in developing countries. This study examines the influence of Land use structure on Intra-urban transportation in the developing city of cities in the West African sub-region – using Enugu city as a case study. The study uses a descriptive research method. A survey was carried out in six districts within the Enugu metropolis based on a stratified, purposive sampling technique. Questionnaires were used as data collection instruments; 400 respondence participated in the study employing Yamane equation. Furthermore, a twelve-hour (7 am to 7 pm) traffic count was conducted to assess traffic volume. The study finding revealed that Transportation within the urban areas is significantly impacted by Land-use structure, city morphology, neighbourhood characteristics in terms of population and residential density of the city. The hypothesis suggests no significant difference between the various land uses across the Enugu metropolis (p = 0.129). It was also discovered that an average of 122,431 Passenger Car Units (PCU) constantly ply the metropolis roads to service a total population of 564,725 daily, indicated a high rate of car dependency. The study surmises that land use generates vehicular traffic, which impacts the socio-economic environment and the effectiveness of the transportation system. The significance of this study is that the findings contribute to the existing knowledge base that would advance stratic policy formation towards acceleration of the uptake of sustainable urban transportation systems in the region. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091758 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Daher Wajeeh , Baya'a Nimer , Anabousy Ahlam
Published: October 2021

The present research examines whether the pre-service teachers’ preparation in using digital tools in their teaching develops their acceptance of these tools for teachings. The research also examines the mediation of self-efficacy, anxiety of using digital tools for teaching mathematics and science and enjoyment of this use between the constructs of acceptance of digital tools for teaching. We used the TAM questionnaire in addition to scales that measure enjoyment, self-efficacy and anxiety. Forty-eight mathematics and science pre-service teachers participated in the study. We analyzed the collected data using SPSS 21. The research results indicate that the pre-service teachers’ preparation resulted in significant differences in their scores of affective and usage constructs associated with their acceptance of digital tools for mathematics and science teaching, except in the scores of anxiety. Self-efficacy proved to be a partial mediator between attitude and intention-to-use. Enjoyment proved to be a partial mediator between ease-of-use and attitude, but not between usefulness and attitude. Moreover, enjoyment proved to be a partial mediator between attitude and intention-to-use. These findings contribute to the understanding of mediators that affect the acceptance of digital tools for teaching. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01301 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Bondarenko Svitlana , Shlafman Natalya , Kuprina Nataliia , Kalaman Olga , Moravska Olena , Tsurkan Natalia
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study is to develop scientifically sound proposals and recommendations for the implementation of planning, accounting and control tools in risk management of investment projects of small businesses. The relevance of this study is due to the need to provide small businesses with effective methods of risk management of the investment project, which can significantly reduce the negative impact of risk factors and achieve a significant effect from the investment. To achieve the goal of the study, methodological approaches were used to assess the risk sustainability of the enterprise, based on the assessment of the resource potential of the enterprise. A system of indicators is proposed to assess the quality of enterprise resources. Theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of an early warning system in risk management have been developed. The proposed concept of indicative management includes tools for indicative control of investment projects in relation to the risk sustainability of the enterprise from the standpoint of its resource provision. Risks in this case become key indicators to which management actions should be directed. The introduction of a risk passport is proposed as a tool for early warning of crisis phenomena in small enterprises. The authors proved that the risk prevention system should be integrated into the overall organizational structure and become part of the enterprise management system. Indicative management is proposed as a tool for implementing functional strategies to prevent or eliminate threats and maximize their strengths and capabilities. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01302 Full Text: PDF
Applying Conflict Management Styles to Resolve Task Conflict and Enhance Team Innovation
Authors: To Anh Tho , Tran Thi Siem , Nguyen Kieu Oanh , Hoang Van Trung , Thai Kim Phong
Published: October 2021

Task conflicts among group members have a significant impact on team creativity, so it is critical to identify which conflict resolution styles should be used. This paper aims to examine how various conflict management styles influence team creativity via task conflict. The empirical research was conducted using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) for a sample of 257 employees working for Vietnamese organizations. The results show that dominating style increases task conflict while combining and obliging styles reduce it. To take advantage of the creativity-related benefits associated with task conflict, team leaders should develop an open atmosphere that encourages participants' integrating styles, rather than dominating styles. The negative influence of obliging style reflects Vietnamese culture's high collectivism. The study provides various approaches for task conflict management and also highlights the role of controlling task conflicts in enhancing team innovation. It implies that employees will be able to work better as a team in practice if conflict management strategies are used in a flexible manner. It helps them to build a good connection and successfully implement new ideas. Further research should extend the conclusion of this analysis in various contexts to generalize the findings. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01303 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Lampezhev Abas Hasanovich , Linskaya Elena Yur`evna , Tatarkanov Aslan Adal`bievich , Alexandrov Islam Alexandrovich
Published: October 2021

This study aims to develop a methodology for the justification of medical diagnostic decisions based on the clustering of large volumes of statistical information stored in decision support systems. This aim is relevant since the analyzed medical data are often incomplete and inaccurate, negatively affecting the correctness of medical diagnosis and the subsequent choice of the most effective treatment actions. Clustering is an effective mathematical tool for selecting useful information under conditions of initial data uncertainty. The analysis showed that the most appropriate algorithm to solve the problem is based on fuzzy clustering and fuzzy equivalence relation. The methods of the present study are based on the use of this algorithm forming the technique of analyzing large volumes of medical data due to prepare a rationale for making medical diagnostic decisions. The proposed methodology involves the sequential implementation of the following procedures: preliminary data preparation, selecting the purpose of cluster data analysis, determining the form of results presentation, data normalization, selection of criteria for assessing the quality of the solution, application of fuzzy data clustering, evaluation of the sample, results and their use in further work. Fuzzy clustering quality evaluation criteria include partition coefficient, entropy separation criterion, separation efficiency ratio, and cluster power criterion. The novelty of the results of this article is related to the fact that the proposed methodology makes it possible to work with clusters of arbitrary shape and missing centers, which is impossible when using universal algorithms. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01305 Full Text: PDF
Synthesis of Water-Repellent Coating for Polyester Fabric
Authors: Mohd Za’im Nur Nabilah , Mohd Yusop Hartina , Wan Ismail Wan Norfazilah
Published: October 2021

A new hydrophobic hexyltrimethoxysilane (HTMS) coating for polyester fabric was successfully synthesized via a one-step water-based sol-gel method under acidic condition. Five different molar ratios of HTMS: water (1;40, 1:30, 1:20, 1:12 and 1:3) were prepared and the solution was deposited onto the polyester fabric by a simple dip-pad-cure process. The effect of water content on hydrophobicity was evaluated by manual testing on the treated polyester fabric samples. The effectiveness of hydrophobicity properties was further characterized using water contact angle (WCA) measurement. The optimized molar ratio of 1:3 was found to obtain the best hydrophobic property of 136.2° with particle size 115.3 µm measured using Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the success of sol gel process with the presence of Si-O-Si band, which was also determined using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images revealed a good surface morphology of the homogenous thin xerogel coating with no visible cracks. Using HTMS without combinations of other precursors resulted in rough surface structure due to the low surface energy caused by long-chain alkyl silane in the HTMS coating and this provided the treated polyester fabric with good hydrophobicity. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01309 Full Text: PDF

Published: October 2021

The aim of this study is to investigate the VTSs implemented by EFL lecturers and also to identify their attitudes towards vocabulary along with the difficulties faced by them in vocabulary teaching. In line with this aim, a mixed-method research design was used. 170 lecturers working at twenty-five universities participated in the study. The researchers used a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The quantitative data instrument was the Vocabulary Teaching Strategies Questionnaire. The quantitative data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 8 lecturers. The collected qualitative data were content-analyzed. The analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data showed that the participants applied determination strategies while teaching their students to discover the meanings of new words. On the other hand, while teaching students to consolidate the learned words, they used metacognitive, memory, cognitive and social (consolidation) strategies respectively. Additionally, it was found that the participants experienced difficulties in vocabulary teaching such as students’ lack of practice and repetition, students’ low proficiency levels, time limitation, and students’ tendency to use a bilingual dictionary.

Published: October 2021

Bu çalışmada, eğitim yönetimi biliminin inceleme alanına giren Milli Eğitim Sistemindeki bazı uygulamaların post-modern paradigma açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bilim insanlarının ortaya koydukları çalışmalar bilime yeni bakış açıları kazandırdığı gibi insanlara da hayatı yeniden yorumlama fırsatı vermektedir. Dolayısıyla bilim insanlarının dünyayı yorumlama biçimleri diğer alanlarda olduğu gibi eğitim alanında da yeni anlayışların doğmasına öncülük etmektedir. Yeni anlayışlar beraberinde eğitimde yeni uygulamaları getirmekte ve eğitim sisteminde köklü değişimlere yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada modernist bir anlayışın hâkim olduğu bir dönemin kapanıp postmodernist bir anlayışın ortaya çıkma sürecinde meydana gelen paradigma değişikliğinin eğitim sistemindeki bazı uygulamalar üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, modern ve postmodern paradigmaların ortaya çıkışları, farkları, bilim dünyasına yansımaları ve eğitim yönetimi alanındaki uygulamalardaki izdüşümleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda eğitim sistemimizdeki; “merkez ve taşra örgüt yapılanması, milli eğitime bağlı okul türleri, öğretim programlarının hazırlanması ve uygulanması, öğrenci seçme ve yerleştirme sistemi, öğretmen yetiştirme ve atama sistemi, okul yöneticisi atama şekli, okulların bütçe ve harcama yetkileri, milli eğitimde kılık kıyafet” gibi bazı uygulamalar modernist ve postmodernist anlayışların temel ilkeleri açısından incelenmiştir. Bu uygulamaların kuramsal altyapısında yer alan temel anlayışlar ortaya konulmuş ve postmodern paradigma açısından uygulanabilirliği tartışılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda eğitim sistemimizde değişikliğe tabi tutulan uygulamaların daha çağdaş olacak şekilde güncellenebilmeleri için çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.

Authors: KİNEŞ Mesut
Published: October 2021

The current research aimed to reveal the language learning strategies (LLS) used by Anatolian high school students and examine whether gender has a role in their strategy preferences and frequency of using them.
One hundred fifty-six participants were randomly selected as the participants (100 females and 56 males). The participants learning English as a foreign language were chosen randomly from different grades of Siirt Atatürk Anatolian High School (9th, 10th and 11th).
The study data were collected through the questionnaire developed by Oxford (1990) to discover the language learning strategies used in the language learning continuum. Descriptive statistics were computed to determine the language strategies used in a high school context and discover if gender has a role in adapting the strategies.
In light of the current research findings, the researcher found out that the female learners used language learning strategies more frequently than the male participants. While the most favoured strategies were social language learning strategies, and the effective strategies were the least preferred.
DİNÎ AHLÂKIN OTONOMLUĞUNUN İMKÂNI
Authors: BAYINDIR Ahmet
Published: October 2021

Ahlâkı temellendirme konusunda, tarihsel süreç içerisinde çok çeşitli denemeler olduğunu biliyoruz. Ortaya çıkan tasnifler, bakış açılarına göre şekil almaktadır. Bunlar çoğunlukla; mutlulukçu ahlâk (erdem/haz/acı), faydacı ahlâk (utilitarist) ve kuralcı ahlâk (deontolojist) şeklinde özetlenebilir. Bu teoriler, büyük oranda insanı merkeze alan teorilerdir. Mutlulukçu ahlâk söz konusu olunca, bedenin hazları veya acıları üzerine kurulu bir anlayışı vardır. Faydacı ahlâk; fayda veren nesneyi önemser. “İnsan için faydalı olan ahlâkîdir” önermesine varır. Kuralcı ahlâk anlayışlarında ise yasanın belirleyiciliği esas alınırken, eylemin sonuçları dikkate alınmaz. Ancak dinî ahlâk söz konusu olunca, bu saydıklarımızın üzerinde “transandantal” bir noktadan hareket etmek gerekir. Çünkü dinî ahlâkın yasa koyucusunun Tanrı olduğu düşünülür. Ahlâkî fiilin temeli ilahidir. Bu bakımdan dinî ahlâkın varoluş şekli dikeydir. Bu da Dinî ahlâkın optimum özelliğine işaret etmektedir. Çünkü onun kaynağı insanüstü bir yerdedir. Bu yüzden salt olarak insandan hareketle inşa edilen ahlâk teorilerinin bir tür indirgemecilik oldukları düşünülebilir. Erdem, haz veya acı; fayda veya kural, bunlara örnek olabilir. Dinî ahlâk ise insan aklının sınırlarının ötesinden kaynaklandığı için daha üstün olarak görülebilir. Bu da dinî ahlâkın otonom olma bakımından daha güçlü ve etkili olduğu görüşünü öne çıkarmaktadır. Ancak dinî ahlâkı hayatlarına tatbik edenlerin iradeleri olmazsa dini ahlâk kâğıt üzerinde kalır. Bu çalışmada dinî ahlâkın otonomluğunun imkânını ele alacağız.
DİEGO VELAZQUEZ’İN PAPA X. İNNOCENT ’İN PORTRESİ ADLI ESERİ BAĞLAMINDA SANATTA YİNELEME
Authors: GİRGİN Figen
Published: October 2021

Doğa, sanatçının en büyük esin kaynağıdır ve doğa ve insan yaratıcı süreçte sanatın başat öğeleridir. Bunun yanı sıra büyük sanatçıların, öncülerinin eserlerinden yararlandıkları ve ihtiyaç duydukları öğeleri ödünç aldıkları bilinmektedir. Yani bir yapıtın oluşum sürecinde sanatçı, çıkış noktası olarak başka bir yapıtı seçmektedir. Sanatçı, neyi ve nasıl alacağını kendi doğasının ihtiyacına göre belirler ve esin kaynağı olarak seçtiği yapıtı kendi sanatsal yönelimlerine göre yorumlar. Resim sanatında sanatçıların ne zamandan beri kendinden önce yapılmış bir eseri esin kaynağı olarak seçtiklerini belirlemek güç. Bir eserin esin kaynağı olarak seçilip, yaratıcı sürecin seçilen eser üzerinden şekillendiği yinelemeler, yaygın olarak çağdaş sanat ve sonrasında karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Çağdaş sanat, hatta modern sanat öncesindeki yinelemeler, daha çok usta-çırak ilişkisi doğrultusundadır. Sanatçı, selefi olan ya da kendi dönemindeki başka bir sanatçının eserindeki başarısına duyduğu takdir ile onu çözümleme ve ondan daha çok eğitsel boyutta yararlanma amacı ile yinelemeye gider. Oysa çağdaş sanat ve sonrasında bir eser, bunun yanı sıra farklı içerik ve anlamlar için de ödünç alınabilir. Yinelenenlerden biri de Diego Velázquez’in Papa X. İnnocent adlı resmidir. Bu araştırmada; Velázquez’in Papa X. İnnocent resmini esin kaynağı olarak seçip yineleyen bazı sanatçıların eserlerine yer verilmiştir. Betimsel tarama modelli bu araştırmada, literatür taraması ve incelenen eserler ışığında; Velázquez’in gerçekçi bir karakter incelemesi ile resmettiği Papa X. İnnocent’in kendisinden sonraki sanatçılar tarafından nasıl yorumlandığı, neden esin kaynağı olarak seçildiği, nasıl dönüşüme uğratıldığı sorularına cevap aranmıştır. İncelenen bu örnekler ve yanıt aranan sorular, bir yapıtın başka bir yapıt ile kurduğu diyaloğa tanıklığın yanı sıra, çağdaş sanatın düşünsel boyutunun ve geçmişin, bugünün sanatına nasıl yansıdığının anlaşılmasını da sağlayacaktır.
IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAX REVENUES WITH EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY: EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY
Authors: KOÇAK Sinem
Published: October 2021

This study seeks empirical proof for this basic question: is there a relationship between direct-indirect tax revenues with exchange rate volatility? For the period of 2006:Q1-2019:Q4 in Turkey, the Toda-Yamamoto causality approach was performed to delve into the causal relationships between the exchange rate volatility determined by the moving standard deviation of the real effective exchange rate and both direct and indirect taxes. The results of the Toda-Yamamoto causality test revealed the presence of a one-way causality relationship from direct taxes to exchange rate volatility and also a one-way causality relationship from indirect taxes to exchange rate volatility. Under a causality approach framework, the paper occurred a significant empirical inference for the relationship of exchange rate volatility with both direct and indirect taxes.
NEVŞEHİR MÜZESİ’NDE BULUNAN ROMA İMPARATORLUK DÖNEMİ BRONZ ADAK EROS HEYKELCİĞİ
Authors: SÖNMEZ Barış Emre
Published: October 2021

Bu çalışmanın konusunu Nevşehir Müzesi’nde bulunmakta olan Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’ne ait bronz adak Eros heykelciği oluşturmaktadır. Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’ne ait bronz heykelcik herhangi bir arkeolojik kazı sonucu değil; müzeye satın alma yolu ile kazandırılmış olduğundan eserin bulunduğu yapı ya da yapılar hakkında bilgi yoktur. Nevşehir, Kapadokya Bölgesi içerisinde yer alan önemli bir yerleşim alanıdır; ancak sistematik arkeolojik bir kazının bulunmaması Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi ile ilgili bilgilerimizi sınırlandırmaktadır. Eros heykelciğinin tipolojik, stilistik ve ikonografik değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Bu stilistik karşılaştırmalar Eros heykelciğinin M.S. 1.-2. yüzyıl içerisinde yapılmış olduğunu göstermektedir.

Bu araştırmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik kırılganlıkları, psikolojik iyilik halleri, sosyal güven ve memnuniyet düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki cinsiyet değişkenine göre incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, “Psikolojik kırılganlık ölçeği”, “Psikolojik iyilik ölçeği”, “Sosyal güven ve memnuniyet düzeyi ölçeği” olmak üzere 3 adet ölçek uygulanmıştır. Cinsiyete göre, psikolojik kırılganlıklar ölçeğinde, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Cinsiyete göre, psikolojik iyilik hallerinde ise ölçeğin anlamlılık düzeylerinin yarısında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu, diğer yarısında ise anlamlı bir farkın olmadığı sonucu bulunmuştur. Cinsiyete göre, sosyal güven ve memnuniyet düzeylerinin 7 maddesinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farkın olmadığı, 4 tanesinde ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu doğrulanmış ve bu durum erkeklerin lehinde ortaya çıkmıştır.
THE AMERICAN CONSUL CESNOLA BROTHERS AND THE FATE OF ANTIQUITIES IN OTTOMAN CYPRUS
Authors: ÇELİK Cemil
Published: October 2021

This paper aims to identify the antiquities of Ottoman Cyprus taken abroad with or without permits, focussing upon the activities of the Cesnola brothers and the efforts of the Ottoman state to obstruct them in these activities. This article employs both the wide range of research literature on this subject, including Cesnola’s extensive writings and documents from the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey Directorate of State Archives, Ottoman Archives, thereby presenting the Ottoman position on the Cesnola brothers’ activities.

General Palma di Cesnola, who served as American envoy between the years 1865-1876 and Russian envoy for part of his stay, became interested in the historical heritage of the island of Cyprus upon his arrival. The Ottoman governor of the island, who had suspicions about his removal of the artefacts from the island, tried to obstruct him. Overcoming these obstructions with his diplomatic position, Cesnola managed to avoid the Governor’s efforts. Initially, he visited numerous European capitals to market these antiquities of the historical heritage of the island. Later he contacted American Museums and reached an agreement with the Metropolitan Museum, where later, his position as a trustee and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Museum was facilitated with these antiquities from Cyprus. When he had to depart to take the antiquities out of the island, he invited his brother Alexander Cesnola to continue his work. Following the footsteps of his brother, Alexander Cesnola supervised the excavations and took artefacts abroad. In 1878 with the British taking over the governing of the island, he had problems obtaining excavation permits from the new administration. These developments led to the departure of Alexander Cesnola from the island.
