The Influence of the Painting Tradition on Derek Jarman’s Films
Authors: Denisova Irina V
Published: February 2020

The article aims at revealing intertextual references to paintings woven into feature films by the British director Derek Jarman (1942-1994). The author explores various manifestations of intertextuality from direct citations to reminiscences, which allow to emphasize the continuity of film-directors work, the connection of its aesthetics, composition, film mood with the original fine art source paintings. The target is to enhance the emotional impact on the viewer. The concept of intertextuality has undergone significant changes since its introduction to the research usage by the poststructuralist French theorist Julia Kristeva. This term has gone beyond the literary discourse and has begun to be used in the analysis of all the semiotic formations to describe the interaction of both verbal and non-verbal texts. In this regard, it is important to analyze and reveal the intertextual references to paintings woven into feature films made by a British director Derek Jarman whose works are insufficiently explored in Russia. Intertextuality is a characteristic feature of Jarmans creative style that seeks to blur the clear distinction between painting and cinema. Analysing the influence of such artists as Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Piero della Francesca, William Turner, Ford Madox Brown, Thomas Eakins and Francis Bacon on Jarman, the author reveals the interconnection between the directors aesthetics, composition, mood, light and shade frame modeling and the original paintings. Derek Jarman uses a variety of intertextual references from direct citations to reminiscences affecting the visual associative row of the audience and their film perception, emphasizing the continuity of his work. The intertextual references seek to enhance the emotional impact on the viewers, to recreate the mood of the epoch and its atmosphere, to aggravate the tragedy of the situation. The metaphors and allusions greatly expand the spatial and temporal characteristics of Jarmans films. Numerous intertransitions from one semiotic system to another fill his films with inner dialogue and strengthen semantic polyphony of meaning.
Specifics of Imaginative Approach in the US Documentary of 1960-2000s
Authors: Kazyutchits Maksim F
Published: February 2020

The subject of this article is a survey of artistic techniques of the American documentary filmmaker F. Waisman. The object is the US documentary of the 1960-2000s. The author attempts to distinguish the specifics of the Waismans imaginative approach, exploring the directors work as a developed part of so-called observation method characteristic of the films by American documentary filmmakers R. Drew and R. Leacock (the founders of the direct cinema). The author shows that minimalism of expressive means, the frequent use of camera travellings, raw-like cutting in the movies Titicut Follies (1967), Hospital (1970), Near death (1989) greatly complicate the understanding of the Waismans concept. Ambiguity of imagery in these pictures inevitably leads to a richness of connotations and surplus symbolism. High school (1968) clearly demonstrates a deep fracture of the American society in the late 60's, fully reflected in the school system. Wiseman explores the nature of executive and judicial power of the US in Law and order (1969) and The juvenile court" (1973). He tries to show the crisis of classical art within mass culture in the films National gallery (2014) and Crazy Horse (2011). Waismans approach allows to avoid the commonplace discourse (and the decline in the artistic level of the film) in coverage of such phenomena as the executive and the judicial power, education, arts and entertainment industry. The director was able to combine the complex and polysemantic visual design with the unique composition of the stuff (through cutting and camera work). All this helped him to unite the imaginative merits of a documentary film with narrative symbolism and traditions of poetic cinema.
Patterns of Behavior in the Great Patriotic War’s Soviet Cinema
Authors: Rostotskaya Marianna A
Published: February 2020

The author explores the moral stances of films produced during the Great Patriotic War. The author considers these films as a part of the state cultural policy suggesting that their plots and characters were subject to the political situation and focused on the morale building activities both in the military and in the rearward. The frame of holy war dictated patterns of behavior on the screen as well as in real life. The Great Patriotic War and necessity of the nations unity promoted Soviet peoples collectivist identity. The theme of revenge became the keynote of films produced during this period. On the one hand, Soviet people showed on the screen righteous anger, intransigence and even cruelty against the enemy; on the other hand - altruism, willingness to sacrifice ones life for the sake of motherland and compatriots. The concept of us and them which had been formed during the class struggle received further development. The Soviet cinema tended to embody patterns of behavior for all social groups. Mans and womans images became mostly archetypal. The author shows that a mans positive image was a hero and a man of wisdom, whereas a womans positive image was to be a female warrior, beloved and mother. Moral rigorism, certainty and univocity of films shot during the war played a great role for the victory. Ethics of duty in Soviet films, introducing the model of life as heroic act, seemed invincible in the war years since it was based on distinct ideas of the purpose of the society. The destruction of the Soviet institutions and ideology would have contested the moral component of films made in the period of the Great Patriotic War. The article contributes to the development of historical memory and ability to perceive a film within the framework of public life and cultural policy.
Destiny of Indian Cinema in Russia
Authors: Nefedova Darya N
Published: February 2020

The relationship of domestic moviegoers to the works of Indian cinema has a complex and heterogeneous development history. The Soviet audience watched the first Indian movie back in the 1950s, which gave a powerful impetus to the formation of multifaceted contacts between Indian and Soviet film industry. As a result such films were shot as Journey Beyond Three Seas, Black Prince Adjouba, The Adventures of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, the famous My name is clown by Raj Kapoor, and others. However, a sympathy to the Indian cinema of the 1970-80s led to the formation of the stereotypes (frivolous story, improbable fights, numerous songs and dances, etc.), which have been preserved by this day, in spite of the changes that occurred in the Indian film industry. In the 1990s, there was a revision of values on the part of the domestic audience and interest for Indian cinema began to wane. Development of various types of video media has allowed fans to buy movies for personal viewing. At the turn of the century a number of television companies obtained broadcasting rights for the classic Indian films. Broadcasting of the channels India TV and Zee-TV, completely dedicated to the Indian culture, marked a new stage in distribution of Indian cinema in this country. In addition, the Internet technology gave way for development of various kinds of specialized resources. These facts, as well as resumed festivals of Indian cinema in the last decade in this country, speak in favor of the revival of the audience interest to it. Despite the virtual absence of the joint Russian-Indian films in the last decades and a small amount of Indian films, audience sympathy gives rise to the assumption of the prospects for this kind of cooperation, as well as accentuation of resuming heavy study of Indian cinema by Russian researchers.
Traits of Mystery (miracle play), Tragedy and Commedia Dell'Arte in a Fairy-Opera-Film
Authors: Kropova Daria S
Published: February 2020

This article deals with a fairy-opera-film and its specifics. The author reveals traits of mystery (miracle play) in a fairy-opera-film, basing upon a notion of mystery of Carl Orffs theory, in the way as Orff meant it. Syncretism in different kinds of art, specifics of word as an art facility (meaning of a word and a word as sound) are specified. As examples the following films are taken: Bluebeard's Castle (composer Bela Bartok, filmmaker W. Golovin,1968), Iolanta (composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, filmmaker W. Gorriker,1963) and animated musical The Snow Maiden (composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, filmmaker I. Ivanow-Vano,1952). Special attention is drawn to the opera film The Queen of Spades (composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, filmmaker R. Tihomirov,1960). The author discloses in fairy-opera-film elements of commedia dell'arte, that is improvisation and masks. For example in films The Love for three Oranges (composer Sergei Prokofiev, filmmakers W. Titov and J. Bogatyrenko,1970) and The Magic Flute (composer Wolfgang A. Mozart, filmmaker I. Bergman,1975). The author comes to the conclusion concerning the targets and tasks of a fairy-opera-film. Through watching fairy-opera-films children should live cultural and psychological history of humanity step by step in its development through music, dance culture and drama (theater). The main task of fairy-opera-film is to save an entity of a human being, to prevent a childs mutation into either a superman (or bermensch in F. Nietzsches term) or degeneration.
“Provincial” Cinema on Global Orbits
Authors: Kirillova Natalia B
Published: February 2020

The author explores important aspects in the development of Russian post-Soviet film art, basing on the Ural school of cinema, which sprang into being in 1943 with the start of Sverdlovsk Film Studios. The "golden age" of Ural cinema unfolded in the 1960s-1980s - the span when the Ural cinema traditions were shaped; when this flourishing manifested itself in all cinema genres and trends: fiction, documentary and educational cinema, as well as in animation. Both film professionals and viewers were very much familiar with the names of such directors as: Ya. Lapshin, O. Nikolayevsky, V. Khotinenko; documentary directors A. Litvinov, B. Galanter, L. Rymarenko and V. Volyanskaya, A. Baluyev, S. Miroshnichenko, I. Persidsky and others. Ural school of animation achieved global relevance with the works of such artists as A. Karayev, V. Petkevich, A. Petrov, O. Cherkasova, etc. After facing economic and creative crisis on the cusp of the 20th and 21st centuries, and even passing a stage of "clinical death", Ural cinema had not only survived, but achieved a new avant-garde position within the cinema world and expanded internationally. During this period Sverdlovsk Film Studios lost its monopoly within Ural cinema production with the new studios appearing on the regional cinema map: A-Film, Ural-Film, February 29, Snega, Kinokhronika OOO, Ethnographicheskoye Byuro and others. Post-Soviet cinema arena of Ural ushered in the new names of film professionals, who were the part and parcel of contemporary cinema avant-garde: Alexey Fedorchenko (director and producer), Vasily Sigarev (playwright, film director and producer), animators Sergey Aynutdinov, Nina Bisyarina, Oksana Cherkasova and others.

Counterculture and Its Impact upon American Rock Music Documentaries in 1960-1970s
Authors: Kazyuchits Maxim F
Published: February 2020

The author focuses on the most significant documentaries and TV-movies employing rock music of the 1960s-1970s, and highlights the aesthetic modes of their social correlation with mass culture. Special attention is drawn to the creative synthesis of the aesthetics of direct cinema, exemplified by the group R. Drew (B. Leacock, D. Pennebaker, A. Maizels, D. Maizels, etc.) as well as individual filmmakers and rock music in the intense socio-cultural context associated with it. Rock music greatly differs in its interaction of a performer and audience: there is often a systematic violation of the boundaries between audience space and scene. Direct cinema uses different strategies for presenting the character in the frame. Long-term observation, usage of atypical size and angles in the established television and cinematic tradition of documentary in many ways made the traditional essays and reports specifically spectacular. Within this strategy fans become being represented and perceived as a collective character, that is, public with all the features of its ethos becomes an integral part of the image of the artist, inseparable from it. The general decline of the artistic diversity of documentaries about rock music is largely the result of the active integration of this subgenre into the commercial sphere of TV and film industry, characteristic for the style emerged within the television. Creative pursuits of the group drew were directed not so much against the revolution in screen arts, but for modernization of the outdated artistic approaches to documentary filmmaking. Anyhow rock music as well as rock culture expressed through the means of direct cinema testify to the efficiency of the basic methodological goals.
Development of Culture: Methodological Basis of State Regulation
Authors: Molchanov Igor N
Published: February 2020

State regulation of culture refers to the topical methodological issues of economic science. The methods and instruments of regulating economic activities of economic entities differ in their discussion. Non-profit cultural organizations perform important social functions in society. For Russia, the relatively low (in comparison with the OECD countries) is characterized by the level of demand for paid cultural services. Modern problems of the industry are associated with macroeconomic instability, a complex situation in the market of goods and services. The financial provision of cultural organizations is characterized by the lack of reliable sources of funding through extrabudgetary funds. This adversely affects the implementation of financial plans and compliance with the regulatory deadlines for the implementation of public tasks and activities. Improving the methodology of state regulation of cultural organizations involves the development of theoretical foundations (principles, methods, methods, technology, logic) and contributes to improving the practice of economic work. The stable state of business entities is largely determined by the measures of financial support, a prominent place among which belongs to the methods of financial (fiscal and budgetary) and monetary (monetary) regulation. To finance the statutory activities and the future development of nonprofit cultural organizations, it is necessary to apply project-oriented funding, attract extrabudgetary and private funds in the form of grants, sponsorship and sponsorship assistance, and create endowment funds. Periodically conducted adjustments of the amount of budget financing hinder the activities of cultural organizations, lead to the failure to meet the targets. It is necessary to develop strategic plans for the medium-term period in conjunction with tactical activities at the macro and micro level, as well as constructive activities for their implementation. A promising area of work of cultural organizations is to increase investment attractiveness and expand the innovative component in their work. In the state regulation of cultural activities it is necessary to apply innovations based on modern methods and technologies of management, domestic and foreign experience. Participation in the preparation and implementation of financial innovations will improve the economic performance of cultural organizations.

Contemporary Hero in the Wartime Chronotope
Authors: Muradov Aleksey B , Shergova Ksenia A
Published: February 2020

The focal point of the analysis are Tatiana Lioznovas TV-series 17 Moments of Spring. This notable Great Patriotic War movie presents a protagonist that partakes spring 1945 events not as a historical, distanced personality but as a contemporary of the time of the release. This statement is supported with three-layered analysis of the character presentation. The initial layer of analysis implies that Stierlitz character (a Soviet spy, acting deep undercover within the highest ranks of Nazi Germany) develops an idealized presentation of an intelligence officer as in earlier Soviet films. The character does not provide a viewer with the option of self-identification, becoming an archetype - this conversion allocates the story to an epic space, not a historical context. Considering Stierlitz character as a super-spy, a loner implies a second layer of interpretation: a contest-comparison with the most known espionage character of the 20th century, James Bond. Meanwhile the creator shape Stierlitz rather pretentious anti-Bond, they use numerous specific tools to accentuate the difference. Among those we point a time theme that plays an important part in storytelling and general film design (time is present in the series title, it repeatedly returns in soundtrack, and notoriously present in the characters persistent slowness). A few other details involve a third layer of the characters interpretation: Stierlitz embodies contemporary image of a 1960-1970s Soviet technical intelligentsia - in terms of the release a hero of our time. Multilayered interpretation of the Stierlitz character provides 17 Moments of Spring a very specific place in the history of Soviet television and film production. Tatiana Lioznova used a number of creative methods that allowed her to bridge 1945 events with her contemporaries and to significantly contribute into the Soviet archetypal construction.
Film Reconstruction of the Past as a Method of Understanding Reality
Authors: Marusenkov Vyacheslav V
Published: February 2020

The article deals with the method of cine-reconstruction of the past in the film space. Basing on analysis of the means used cinematic language in B. Bertoluccis The Conformist the author traces visualization of the inner world of the personage through the reconstruction of his past as well as the mechanism of transformation of the current system of images into a new form of socio-cultural paradigms. The system of tools employed allows one to freely converse with the viewer using both the structure and imagery of the film, and the possibility of using the image to convey the deep essence of the author's message. Artistic and temporal characteristics of the screen text are inscribed into the viewer as elements of creation a direction of reflection on the material presented, often as a mythical code, which appeals to the collective unconscious. Reality surround is the result of an interaction between two forces, that is consciously-the unconscious movement of society toward a certain goal, and the base starting this movement. It is possible that this new goal is the continuation of existing, and perhaps vice versa. These works show that screen art, having a direct conversation with the viewer, has the opportunity to implement a new concept of collective consciousness.
Hearing and Speech Voice Expressiveness of the Actor
Authors: Avtushenko Irina A
Published: February 2020

The article explores the process of auditory perception as part of scenic communication. The author offers two types of auditory perception existing independently, as the result of the structure of the human brain, and are expressed in terms of verbal and emotional ear. Using the verbal ear people recognize the content of the text, volume of speech, its melody, tempo, rhythm. The emotional ear allows one to understand the emotional context of a message: the subtext, the attitude of the speaker, his/her intentions. Emotional ear is divided into Active and Passive forms. The ability to correctly recognize the emotion is a passive form of Emotional ear. The ability to express feelings with ones voice or with a musical instrument is determined by the active Emotional ear. In acting education, the concept of "emotional ear" is not used, but outstanding stage directors and theatre teachers speak in favour of the special auditory sensitivity and receptivity required by an actor. The ability to hear plays an important role in theatric action as it generates true intercommunication. When the partners on stage really listen and hear each other, their speech becomes vivid and intimate. Otherwise the act of speech may come to a mere mechanical declamation. How can one achieve the novelty of impression? It is gained by means of introducting new shades of intonation and pace connected with the partner's immediate feelings. All of them are tightly connected with on-the-spot decisions that the actor spontaneously takes on while performing. The actor needs an ability to reflect over the subtleties in interaction with ones partners and to be on the same wavelength with them. The level of auditory sensitivity affects the expressiveness of speech. Variety of intonations, imagery and expressiveness of speech are associated with a wealth of experiences of the senses. In ordinary life an "insensitive" person lacking bright temperament speaks monotonously, without active and visible melodies. Intonational expressiveness of speech, both in life and on stage (or screen) is associated with emotional sensitivity. The ability to understand the partner's inner life and expressing the emotional intonation of the actor's speech is determined by the possession of the emotional ear which can and must be developed at Speech Technique classes.
Investigation on the Dynamic Rupture of the 1970 Ms 7.7 Tonghai, Yunnan, China, Earthquake on the Qujiang Fault
Authors: Yu Houyun , Zhang Wenqiang , Zhang Zhenguo , Li Zhengbo , Chen Xiaofei
Published: February 2020

Regional stress states and fault geometries play important roles in earthquake rupture dynamics. Using the curved grid finite-difference method, we conducted 3D spontaneous rupture simulations of the nonplanar Qujiang fault (QF) to investigate the rupture processes of the 1970 Tonghai earthquake and potential future earthquakes. A nonplanar fault model including topography was adopted and embedded in heterogeneous media. Regional stress orientations with an interval of 5° were tested, and various fault geometry models with different fault surface traces and fault dips were discussed. We also provided explanations for the unbroken northwestern segment of the QF and the seismic intensity anomaly in the Tonghai basin during the 1970 Tonghai event. Finally, we presented several future potential earthquake scenarios occurring on the QF at three nucleation locations. Our simulation results suggested that the maximum principal stress azimuth around the Tonghai area is N25°W and that the QF is most likely a complex dipping fault—the southeastern segment dips to the northeast, whereas the northwestern segment dips to the southwest. Our simulations also revealed that multiple explanations, including a regional stress rotation and an increase in the cohesion force, could account for the unbroken northwestern segment of the QF. Furthermore, the seismic intensity anomaly in the Tonghai basin can be explained by a low-velocity structure. Future earthquake scenarios demonstrated that potential earthquakes nucleating at Eshan and Wujie in a complex dipping fault model could rupture the entire QF, thereby posing severe seismic risks to nearby regions. In contrast, when the nucleation point was located at Quxi, the rupture was constrained to the initial fault segment of the QF; however, caution should still be exercised in the Quxi area because this scenario produces a maximum intensity of VIII.
The Formation of the Party System in the Republic of Macedonia
Authors: Wojnicki Jacek
Published: February 2020

W kształtowaniu się systemu partyjnego w Macedonii można wyróżnić kilka faz. Pierwsza faza trwała od 1990 do 1992 roku i charakteryzowała się kształtowaniem sceny politycznej na nowo. Następna faza trwała do 1998 roku i opisać ją można jako okres dominacji obozu socjaldemokratycznego. VMRO zbojkotowała drugą turę wyborów do Zgromadzenia w październiku 1994, jej kandydat przegrał powszechne wybory prezydenckie. Okres lat 1998 i 2001 to zrównoważony pluralizm wielopartyjny, z dwoma głównymi ugrupowaniami: centrolewicowym – SDSM oraz centroprawicowym – VMRO. Kolejny etap rozpoczął się po zakończeniu konfliktu albańskiego (lipiec 2001 roku), gdy uformowało się nowe ugrupowanie albańskie – DUI. Okres lat 2004/2005 zaowocował fragmentaryzacją dwóch głównych ugrupowań macedońskiej sceny politycznej. Nastąpiły wówczas rozłamy w SDSM (powstała Nowa Socjaldemokracja) oraz w VMRO (powstała Partia Narodowa – VMRO). Nie osłabiły one jednak znacząco dwóch wspomnianych partii macedońskich podczas wyborów do Zgromadzenia we wrześniu 2006 roku. Po kolejnej elekcji w 2008 roku można zaobserwować swoisty regres w rywalizacji między głównymi ugrupowaniami – SDSM i VMRO, przybrał on postać swoistej „gry o sumie zerowej”, a organizacje międzynarodowe alarmowały o zagrożeniach dla funkcjonowania instytucji demokratycznych.
Proces tworzenia Królestwa SHS wobec przeobrażeń Wielkiej Wojny (1914–1918)
Authors: Morawski Konrad Sebastian
Published: February 2020

Artykuł zatytułowany Proces tworzenia Królestwa SHS wobec przeobrażeń Wielkiej Wojny (1914–1918) zawiera omówienie decydujących wydarzeń związanych z powstaniem pierwszej formy państwa jugosłowiańskiego, czyli utworzonego 1 XII 1918 roku Królestwa Serbów, Chorwatów i Słoweńców. Autor skupił się przede wszystkim na omówieniu przesłanek skomplikowanego procesu negocjacyjnego toczącego się pomiędzy przedstawicielami narodów południowosłowiańskich, które wyrażały różne wizje dotyczące utworzenia wspólnego państwa. Kwestią dodatkowo utrudniającą zjednoczenie Słowian Południowych były przeobrażenia Wielkiej Wojny i związane z nimi częste zmiany położenia politycznego terytoriów i państw bałkańskich, a także tworzenie się różnych ośrodków reprezentujących interesy narodów południowosłowiańskich. Przeprowadzone omówienia zostały oparte na niewykorzystanych dotąd w polskiej literaturze archiwach bałkańskich, zbiorach dokumentów i prasie (głównie z 1918 roku), a także na najważniejszych opracowaniach autorów bałkańskich, polskich i innych.

Transposition flaps: a valid option for reconstruction of soft tissue defects of scalp
Authors: Purwar Shammi , . Ramkumar
Published: February 2020

Background: The scalp wounds are becoming increasingly common as a result of high-speed automobile accidents, fall from heights and others. Scalp reconstruction is a challenge for plastic surgeons. Minor wounds heal of themselves, but some wounds need some type of intervention in the form of reconstruction. Authors have raised flaps in unconventional measurements.Methods: Authors have incorporated 19 patients in this study over a period of one year. Extensive surgical procedures like burring of the skull bones and patients with comorbid conditions were not included. Authors simply rely on local flaps preferably transposition flaps to cover mainly the exposed skull bones. All the flaps were raised leaving the galea intact. The secondary defects were always skin grafted with split skin graft taken from thigh. Authors have raised random flaps in unconventional dimensions showing that a large random flap can be raised on a single vessel with good results.Results: All the wounds healed well without significant complications. So, this method of reconstruction can be applied to even large defects where very sophisticated services are not available.Conclusions: This method of reconstruction can be applied to even very large defects where very sophisticated microvascular services and expertise are not available with appreciably good results.

Published: February 2020

Background: Pancreatic trauma is very rare and its management is complex. The aim of this study was to report our experience in the management of pancreatic trauma.Methods: All patients who were admitted with pancreatic trauma from May 2017 to May 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic data and baseline characteristics were recorded. Grading of pancreatic trauma was carried out according to the American Association for surgery for Trauma (AAST). Data were represented by frequency and mean.Results: A total of 24 patients were admitted with pancreatic trauma in the study period. Road traffic accident (n=17) was the leading cause followed by falls (n=5) and assault (n=2). Out of 24 patients, 3 patients had grade I pancreatic injury, 6 patients had grade II AAST injury, 9 patients had grade III injury and 6 patients had grade IV injury. No patients had grade V injury. Mean hospital stay was 12.3±4.2 days. One patient with grade 2 injury underwent surgery for liver laceration, all others were managed conservatively. Patients with grade 3 and 4 injuries were managed conservatively. One patient with grade 3 injury required, cystogastrostomy for pseudocyst 1 month after the index admission. Two patients of grade 4 injury underwent surgery, one patient for traumatic pseudocyst after 1 month and another patient for bleeding pseudoaneurysm of gastroduodenal artery 1 month after trauma. No patient underwent pancreatectomy. There was no mortality in the study population.Conclusions: Pancreatic trauma can be managed conservatively irrespective of the grade of injury in haemodynamically stable patients.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Hepatitis B is a major cause of acute and chronic liver infection. It is caused by the Hepatitis B virus.

Authors: Mir Khan Usman , Selamoglu Zeliha
Published: February 2020

Whey nowadays considered as nutritional power house of future. Presently, whey mainly used as energy base drinks for sportsman and for therapeutic application in many countries. The two primary sources of protein in milk are the caseins and whey. After processing occurs, the caseins are the proteins responsible for making curds, while whey remains in an aqueous environment. Whey protein is a reliable source of amino acids and biologically active proteins which act as a nutritional supplement. The components of whey include beta lactoglobulin, alpha lactoalbumin, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin, immunoglobluins, lactoperoxidase enzymes, glycomacropeptides, lactose, and minerals. Whey proteins have a high amount of branched chain amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These are also rich in the sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine, which enhance immune functions through their intracellular conversion to glutathione. The present review paper gives information about the potential beneficial properties of whey protein and focuses on using whey protein supplementation as an immuno-modulator, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer. In this context, the current review presented that whey protein supplementation is shown to maintain a high concentration of cellular antioxidants and boost immune defenses that promote carcinogen detoxification. Due to the positive findings, whey protein supplementation is starting to be viewed as a non-pharmaceutical adjunct therapy in the treatment of cancer. Also, whey protein provides an abundant supply of essential amino acids to organs and tissues, which stimulate tissue regenerative mechanisms and help minimize immune suppression.

Authors: Aşkın Deniz
Published: February 2020

Osmanlı
Devleti’nin yıkılmasından sonra kurulan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin toplumsal
yapısının birçok alanında olduğu gibi eğitim politikasında da radikal
değişiklikler meydana geldi. Ancak bu süreçte toplumsal dönüşüme katılmayan
dini eğitim merkezlerinden bir kısım medreseler, bazı bölgelerde müderrisler ve
halk tarafından günümüze kadar devam ettirilmişlerdir. Bu süreçte medreselerin
müderrisleri ve bu kurumların baş aktörü olan seydalar günümüz modern din
eğitimine bazı eleştiriler getirerek bir anlamıyla kendileri ve kurumları için
güven tazelemeye çalışmaktadırlar. Bu eleştiriler, çoğunlukla sınırlı din
eğitimi, eğitim-öğretim yöntemi, öğrenci-öğretmen ilişkisi, din eğitiminin
yeterli olmaması ve geleneksel eğitime ait bir takım özellikler etrafında
şekillenmektedir. Nitel verilere dayanan bu çalışma süresince Türkiye’nin
farklı illerine dağılan seydalara ve medreselere kartopu örneklem metodu ile
ulaşılarak toplamda 30  seyda ile
derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır.
Yeni Türk Ticaret Kanununun Ortak Yönetim Kurulu Üyelikleri Üzerindeki Etkisi
Authors: ÖZDEN-ÇAKA Merve
Published: February 2020

Bu
çalışmanın temel amacı; Yeni Türk Ticaret Kanunu ile gelen düzenlemelerin, Türk
işletme gruplarında yaygın olarak görülen ortak yönetim kurulu üyeliklerinin
mevcut yapıları üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Çalışma kasıtlı örnekleme
yöntemi kullanılarak 10 işletme grubu ve 53 bağlı kuruluş üzerinden
yürütülmüştür. Bu anlamda, örneklemde yer alan firmalar ile ilgili ikincil
veriler kullanılarak 2011 ile 2014 yılları kıyaslanarak Yeni Türk Ticaret
Kanunu’nun ortak yönetim kurulları üzerinde yarattığı etkilerin düzeyi
belirlenmeye çalışılmaktadır. Analiz sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, ortak
yönetim kurulu üye sayısının 2011 yılına oranla arttığı görülmektedir. Yeni
Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nun bu artıştaki yayılım üzerindeki yarattığı etkilere
bakıldığında ise, doğrudan olan ortak yönetim kurulu üye sayısını arttırdığı,
dolaylı olan ortak yönetim kurulu üye sayısını azalttığı ortaya çıkmaktadır.
Bununla birlikte aileden olan ortak yönetim kurulu üye sayısında anlamlı
farklılıklara yol açmadığı, bağımsız olan ortak yönetim kurulu üye sayısını
anlamlı olarak arttırdığı, profesyonel olan ortak yönetim kurulu üye sayısını
ise anlamlı olarak azalttığı görülmektedir.

Kamusal
gündemde büyük önem taşıyan bir olgu olarak futbol, bir duygudaşlık
ilişkisidir. Sporun en çok izlenen türlerinden olan futbol; bireysel, kültürel
ve sınıfsal paydaşlıklara da işaret eder. Futbol kulüpleri ilgili paydaşlığın
bir zeminidir. Futbol kulüpleri armaları ile simgesel mesajlar verir,
taraftarın kolektif belleğine seslenirler. Bu armalarda milli kimlik de öne
çıkar, armalar kültürel ve tarihsel süreçleri/geçmişi hatırlatır. Bu yüzden
armalarda etkili ve retoriği güçlendirici metaforlar kullanılır. Bu çalışmada
da Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti (KKTC) K-Pet Süper Lig takımlarının (2018-2019
sezonunda mücadele eden) armaları incelenmiş, kimlik bağlamında ilgili
armalardaki kültürel ve nasyonal kodlar ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır.
Böylelikle armalarda nelerin öne çıkarıldığı ve hangi değerlere dikkat çekilmek
istendiğinin anlaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Hjelmslev’in semiyotik
çözümleme modeli kullanılmıştır.
