EKONOMİK KOMPLEKSİTE, İHRACAT VE SABİT SERMAYE YATIRIMLARININ KİŞİ BAŞINA DÜŞEN GELİR ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ: G-20 ÜLKELERİ ÖRNEĞİ

Ülkelerin ihracat hacimlerinin büyüklüğünden ziyade, ihracatın kompozisyonunun önem kazandığı günümüz dünya ekonomisinde, ülkelerin ne denli sofistike ürünler ürettikleri ve ihraç ettikleri o ekonominin kompleksite derecesini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada G-20 topluluğundaki 18 ülke çerçevesinde; ekonomik kompleksite indeksi, ihracat ve sabit sermaye yatırımı değişkenlerinin kişi başına düşen gelir üzerindeki etkisi incelenmektedir. Analiz sonuçları Brezilya, Çin, Almanya, Endonezya, Japonya, Meksika, Güney Kore, Türkiye ve ABD için ekonomik kompleksite indeksinin kişi başına düşen gelir üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu bir ilişki ortaya koyarken; Arjantin, Avustralya, Kanada, Suudi Arabistan ve Birleşik Krallık için negatif etkiye sahip bir ilişki ortaya koymaktadır. Brezilya hammadde ve ara mal niteliğindeki birincil ürünlerde ihracat payı artarken mamul ürünlerde ihracat payı azalan, buna karşılık ekonomik kompleksite düzeyi ile kişi başına düşen gelir arasında pozitif anlamlı ilişki elde edilen ve böylece diğer ülkelerden ayrışan tek ülke olma özelliği taşımaktadır.
Medios de circulación, premisa del conflicto: Esbozo sobre su materialidad presente en la provincia de San Luis, Argentina
Authors: Seveso Zanin Emilio J.
Published: August 2019

Este trabajo propone un acercamiento a los procesos y medios de circulación mercantil como clave interpretativa de la conflictividad urbana, reconociendo la relevancia que sus pautas y patrones tienen para el ejercicio sistemático de desposesión, depredación y explotación capitalista. Las circulaciones constituyen un tejido denso que define dinámicas específicas en la esfera económico-productiva, así como en la sociedad en su conjunto. Se trata de flujos con un predominante impacto relacional, que se visibiliza histórico-espacialmente en estructuras y funciones, así como en la extensión, densidad y formación de las ciudades. Aquí procuramos abordarlas de manera situada, focalizando en las nociones de plusvalía material y plusvalía ecológica, en cruce con una mirada crítica sobre su expresividad ideológica en escenarios capitalistas del Sur Global. Notas periodísticas, informes de gobierno y cifras estadísticas operan, a su vez, como imágenes instanciadas para la reflexión que permiten encuadrar algunos de sus efectos en la ciudad de San Luis (Argentina).
Las villas de emergencia y sus viviendas en las racionalidades políticas de las autoridades socialistas del Departamento Ejecutivo Municipal de Rosario (1989-2007)
Authors: Carné Martín
Published: August 2019

El trabajo examina las racionalidades políticas de las autoridades socialistas del Departamento Ejecutivo Municipal de Rosario para, en materia habitacional, gobernar entre 1989 y 2007 a la población asentada en las villas de emergencia de la ciudad con la hipótesis de que tales racionalidades incorporaron a lo largo del período razonamientos y cálculos asociados con el neoliberalismo y el workfarismo, tendiendo así tanto a involucrar a esta población en su mejoramiento habitacional como a compensar déficits de infraestructura y equipamiento en las villas ideando herramientas normativas promotoras del lucro de actores del sector privado vinculados con el desarrollo del mercado inmobiliario.

The Complex Emotion Expression Database: A validated stimulus set of trained actors.
Authors: Benda Margaret , Scherf K. Suzanne
Published: August 2019

The vast majority of empirical work investigating the mechanisms supporting the perception and recognition of facial expressions is focused on basic expressions. Less is known about the underlying mechanisms supporting the processing of complex expressions, which provide signals about emotions related to more nuanced social behavior and inner thoughts. Here, we introduce the Complex Emotion Expression Database (CEED), a digital stimulus set of 243 basic and 237 complex emotional facial expressions. The stimuli represent 6 basic expressions (angry, disgusted, fearful, happy, sad, and surprised) and 9 complex expressions (affectionate, attracted, betrayed, brokenhearted, contemptuous, desirous, flirtatious, jealous, and lovesick) that were posed by Black and White formally trained, young adult actors. All images were validated by a minimum of 50 adults in a 4-alternative forced choice task. Only images for which 50% raters endorsed the correct emotion label were included in the final database. This database will be an excellent resource for researchers interested in studying the developmental, behavioral, and neural mechanisms supporting the perception and recognition of complex emotion expressions.
Does language switching behavior rely on general executive functions?
Authors: Jylkkä Jussi , Laine Matti , Lehtonen Minna
Published: August 2019

The assumption that everyday language switching trains bilinguals’ executive functions (EF) presupposes that language switching engages domain-general EF. This study examined associations between three types of tasks in a group of Finnish-English late bilinguals: everyday language switching frequency assessed with Ecological Momentary Assessment, language switching performance on a cued bilingual naming task, and EF as measured with Simon, Flanker, and Number-letter tasks. Cued switching performance showed mainly positive associations with EF performance, but the associations between everyday language switching and cued switching performance, and between everyday switching and the EF tasks were largely against our hypotheses. The findings indicate that participants with lower monitoring capacity make more everyday language switches. This speaks against the idea that everyday language switching would facilitate executive functioning. The results suggest that associations between language switching and general EF are more complex than current models assume.

The students expected joint role of a supervisor. The supervisor and the student are recommended to share their expectations from each other, and build a mutual understanding of supervisor-student roles in advance and do accordingly for the successful completion of the thesis in reasonable time.
Art Therapy: Creativity for Cure
Authors: Sharma Yam Prasad
Published: August 2019

Art therapy is used for healing or treatment of some health problems. For such healing, arts like painting, sculpture, music, drama, dance and poetry are used. Art is related to creativity whereas therapy is related to cure, treatment and healing. Art therapy includes creation, appreciation and healing. Art therapy may help individuals manage and cope with mental health problems, physical pain, difficult emotions, feelings and experiences. It allows people to be free from anxiety and use their imagination for something positive. Art therapy is highly useful to solve mental health problem and disorder in behavior. Whenever other methods of treatment become ineffective, art therapy can be a main form of treatment. However, the power of art for treatment has been ignored in our context. If the domain of art is linked to medical treatment, the cure of the disease can be easier. This attempt may add new dimensions in the field of treatment and healing. This article attempts to elaborate the concept of art therapy, how it can be applied in healing and various types of art therapies.

Authors: Imelda Donna , Khanza Amalia , Wulandari Dita
Published: August 2019

Limbah logam dalam perairan berbahaya untuk ekosistem air. Salah satunya adalah logam tembaga (Cu), yang dapat membunuh ikan-ikan pada konsentrasi 2.5-3.0 ppm. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu dan ukuran partikel  terhadap penyerapan logam Cu oleh biosorben arang aktif yang dibuat dari kulit pisang kepok. Kulit pisang kepok dapat dijadikan biosorben karena memiliki kandungan pektin. Arang aktif dibuat pada suhu 250oC selama 2 jam. Diaktivasi dengan HCl 3M selama 7 jam. Kemudian dikeringkan, diuji mutu arangnya sesuai SNI 06-3730-1995. Proses penyerapan Cu dilakukan dengan kondisi konsentrasi larutan Cu: 20 ppm, pH larutan Cu: 3, waktu kontak dengan arang aktif: 10 menit. Dengan variabel yang diteliti yaitu ukuran partikel (Mesh: 10, 40, 80, 100, dan 200) dan suhu (20oC, 40oC, 60oC, 80oC dan 100oC). Setelah dianalisa laboratorium dan analisa uji statistik menggunakan ANOVA, diperoleh hasil variasi ukuran partikel dan suhu berpengaruh pada besarnya konsentrasi Cu yang dijerap oleh arang aktif. Semakin kecil ukuran partikel semakin besar luas permukaan arang aktif semakin besar konsentrasi Cu yang terjerap. Semakin besar suhu semakin besar  konsentrasi Cu yang terjerap, tetapi bila terlalu panas, pori-pori arang aktif akan rusak. Seluruh uji mutu arang aktif memenuhui kriteria SNI 06-3730-1995.

The taxonomy of species globally described in or formerly included in the genus Elachiptera and new combinations with Lasiochaeta and Gampsocera (Diptera: Chloropidae)
Authors: von Tschirnhaus M.
Published: August 2019

The taxonomic history for all species of a species-rich genus of the Chloropidae (Diptera) is briefly presented for the first time, by the example of the genus Elachiptera Macquart, 1835. Here, all names of the species-group ever combined with the generic name Elachiptera are listed together with the references and the first page of their descriptions, their first transfer into the valid genus, their senior and junior synonyms and further important references to their taxonomical status. In addition, all names of the genus group that have ever been associated with these species names are listed together with their type species. Thirty new combinations are introduced in order to transfer species from Melanochaeta Bezzi, 1906 (a synonym of Oscinella Becker, 1909) to the valid genera Lasiochaeta Corti, 1909 and Gampsocera Schiner, 1862. The known zoogeographical distribution of each of the 81 valid Elachiptera species and 74 valid species in other genera is briefly summarized. Selected exemplary data on larval habitats of Elachiptera are discussed.
Inclusive innovation and sustainable development in affordable habitat

English abstract:

In the last thirty years, Latin America has seen a significant growth in a set of approaches, schools of thought and social movements, which posit that is impossible to effect a transformation in the region without processes focused on inclusion and democracy. Recent analyses on some of these trends reveal the existence of linear and deterministic assumptions in the various models used to address the issue. From the analytical dimension to the regulatory, this work puts forward an inclusive and participatory development model. Unlike technological systems based on income maximization, private appropriation and benefit restriction, Social Technological Systems represent a systemic strategic vision: new development paths, new ways of thinking about problems and socio-technical solutions, and new ways of exercising democracy.

Spanish abstract:

En los últimos treinta años, América Latina ha visto crecer significativamente un conjunto de enfoques, corrientes y movimientos sociales que sostienen la imposibilidad de transformar la región si no es a través de procesos que valoricen la inclusión y la democracia. Recientes análisis sobre algunas de estas corrientes ponen en evidencia la continuidad de supuestos lineales y deterministas. De la dimensión analítica a la regulatoria, este trabajo propone un modelo de desarrollo inclusivo y participativo. Frente a los sistemas tecnológicos basados en la maximización de la renta, la apropiación privada y la restricción de los beneficios, los Sistemas Tecnológicos Sociales responden a una visión estratégica sistémica: nuevos senderos de desarrollo, nuevas formas de concebir problemas y soluciones socio-técnicas, nuevas formas de ejercer la democracia.

French abstract:

Durant les trente dernières années, l’Amérique latine a connu la croissance significative d’un ensemble d’approches, d’écoles de pensée et de mouvements sociaux qui revendiquent l’impossibilité d’une transformation dans la région sans processus inclusifs et démocratiques. Des analyses récentes de certaines de ces tendances révèlent l’existence de suppositions linéaires et déterministes dans les modèles utilisés. Partant d’une dimension analytique vers une perspective règlementaire, ce travail revendique un modèle de développement inclusif et participatif. A la différence des systèmes technologiques fondés sur la maximisation des revenus, l’appropriation privée et la restriction des bénéfices, les Systèmes Sociaux Technologiques représentent une vision systémique stratégique : des voies et des manières nouvelles pour penser les problèmes et les solutions sociotechniques et des formes novatrices d’exercice démocratique.
Primjena endofitnih Fusarium gljiva za poboljšanje rasta vinove loze
Authors: Jelenić Jelena , Ilić Jelena
Published: August 2019

Endofitni organizmi se sve više primjenjuju u ekološkoj proizvodnji i zaštiti biljaka. Najčešće se radi o gljivama i bakterijama koje se apliciraju na biljke kao biološka sredstva za poboljšanje rasta i otpornosti na biljne bolesti. U našem istraživanju preliminarno smo ispitali utjecaj dva izolata gljive Fusarium solani na porast vinove loze sorte Kardinal i Lavalle. Vinova loza je tretirana sa suspenzijom gljive u stadiju pupa. Dva mjeseca nakon umjetne infekcije izmjerene su karakteristike vinove loze: dužina stabljike te dužina, širina i broj listova. Utvrđen je značajan pozitivan utjecaj endofitnih gljiva na dimenzije stabljike i lista. Zaključili smo da endofitne gljive pozitivno djeluju na ukupno zdravstveno stanje biljke što indirektno smanjuje mogućnost pojave bolesti jer su biljke otpornije.

Published: August 2019

U ovom radu istraživan je utjecaj procesnih parametara hladnog prešanja sjemenki konoplje na iskorištenje ulja. Ispitivani su parametri frekvencija elektromotora, veličina otvora glave preše za izlaz pogače i temperatura grijača glave preše. Također je istraživan utjecaj mikrovalnog zagrijavanja na oksidacijsku stabilnost ulja konoplje, sa i bez dodatka antioksidansa i sinergista. Od prirodnih antioksidansa korišteni su ekstrakt ružmarina, ekstrakt kadulje, sintetski antioksidans BHA te sinergist limunska kiselina. Uzorci ulja zagrijavani su u mikrovalnoj pećnici kod konstante snage u različitom vremenskom periodu. Također su uzorci zagrijavani kod različite snage uređaja i konstantnom vremenskom periodu. Rezultat testa ubrzane oksidacije ulja konoplje izražen je peroksidnim brojem. Porastom frekvencije elektromotora i veličine otvora glave preše za izlaz pogače dolazi do smanjenja količine proizvedenog ulja konoplje. Porastom temperature glave preše povećava se proizvodnja sirovog ulja i hladno prešanog ulja. Mikrovalnim zagrijavanjem uzoraka ulja u vremenu 10-50 minuta dolazi do porasta temperature i peroksidnog broja, dolazi do porasta oksidacijskog kvarenja ulja. Najveća stabilnost ulja konoplje postignuta je kombinacijom ekstrakta ružmarina i sinergista limunske kiseline.
