“Arap Baharı” Sonrası Dönemde Fırat-Dicle Uyuşmazlığı
Authors: BAYAR Murat , BAYAR Tuğba 
Published: May 2018

The water conflict
between Iraq, Syria and Turkey that has continued since the 1960s has entered a
mutually-hurting stalemate due to increasing populations, drought and
agricultural-energy needs in the basin. While the conflict that centers around
the status and use of rivers escalated to the level of military threats during
certain periods, it has not evolved into any military conflict or the use of
water in a life-threating way. Yet, a final agreement has not been reached even
during the raproachement period between Syria and Turkey in the 2000s. Based on
this premises, our paper underlines that the conflict has been going through a
structural transformation in the “post-Arab Spring” era. The capture of some
strategic lands and dams along the Euphrates-Tigris basin by Daesh/ISIS and
PYD-YPG, as well as by the Northern Iraqi Kurds, who are preparing to declare
independence, indicate that new state and non-state actors may become primary
parties in this conflict. Furthermore, the use of water as a lethal weapon in
the Iraqi and Syrian civil wars signify another important development. This
paper concludes that the resolution of this conflict has become less likely due
to the increasing number of parties and issues.

Published: May 2018

The
study explains briefly the approach to form in the Turkish Miniature and the
color, with examples from different groups and individuals of the Turkish art
of painting, including 19th Century Painters, First Turkish
Painters, First Period of Contemporary Turkish Art – 1914 / Age of Çallı,
Association of Individual Painters and Sculptors, Group D, New Painters Group,
Group 10s.The use of colour in the Turkish Painting in terms of groups has been
generally visualized as a reflection of use of colour in the Western Art, but
the artists seeking individual authenticity have been and worked more
experimental and free. Still, in works of arts of Turkish painting, even though
the painters have generally used the colour in their paintings dominantly, the
colour has never acquired a distinct function as the main element or main
formal structure, or main structure or substance of form.&nbsp;
Tanzimat Edebiyatının Epistemolojisine Eleştirel Bir Bakış: Düalite ve Öğretmen-Yazar/Öğrenci Okur İlişkisi
Authors: GÜNGÖR Bilgin 
Published: May 2018

Tanzimat döneminin düşünsel yapısı ve edebi
estetiği üzerine Ziya Gökalp’ten Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’a; Hilmi Ziya Ülken›den
Mehmet Kaplan’a kadar pek çok aydın çeşitli yorumlar getirmişlerdir. Bu
yorumlar, barındırdıkları çeşitli tezlerle birlikte, çoğunlukla “düalite”
ekseninde yürür. Tanzimat dönemi -ve sonraki dönem- aydınlarının kaleme aldığı
edebi ve edebiyat-dışı eserler göz önünde bulundurulduğunda bu “postula”nın
somut bir temeli olduğunu söyleyebilmek mümkündür. Bununla birlikte Jale Parla,
Babalar ve Oğullar (Tanzimat Romanının Epistemolojik
Temelleri) adlı eserinde, Tanzimat döneminin düşünsel evreni üzerine farklı yorumlar
getirmiş ve böyle bir evren için “düalite” kavramının yersiz olduğunu; bu dönemin
aydınlarının ve romancılarının eserlerinde Doğulu değerlere evcilleştirilmiş
Batılı değerlerin -en azından Beşir Fuad’a kadar- sorunsuzca eklemlendiğini
ileri sürer. Ayrıca bu dönem romancıları ve roman kahramanları ile okur kitlesi
arasında “baba-oğul” ilişkisine benzer bir ilişkinin somutlaştığını; Tanzimat
Fermanı ile yetkileri kısıtlanan &nbsp;padişahın
toplum karşısındaki “baba”lığını bu dönemde romancıların -ve genel Tanzimat aydınlarının-
üstlendiğini belirtir. Şüphesiz Parla’nın söz konusu tezleri, kısmen somut bir
zemine otursa da, çalışmamız sırasında da görüleceği gibi, bu dönem romancılarının
–ve genel olarak Tanzimat aydınlarının- eserleri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda,
oldukça “yanlışlanabilir” bir konumda belirir.
The validity of Running Anaerobic Sprint Test to assess anaerobic power in young soccer players
Authors: Hazir Tahir , Kose Mehmet Goren , Kin-Isler Ayse 
Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) is population specific. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the validity of RAST in assessing the anaerobic power of young soccer players. METHODS: Thirty-one volunteer young amateur soccer players underwent a standardized WAnT test and a RAST test in random order. Peak power (PP), average power (AP), minimum power (MP), fatigue index (FI), blood lactate (LA), heart rate (HR) and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were determined during the tests. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between RAST-PP and WAnT-PP. RAST-AP and RAST-FI were significantly lower than that of WAnT whereas, RAST-MP was significantly higher than WAnT-MP. RAST-LA[Formula: see text] was significantly lower than WAnT-LA[Formula: see text]; however, mean and peak RAST-HR were significantly higher than WAnT. RPE responses were found to be similar between the tests. PP, AP and MP from the two tests were significantly correlated. The standard errors of the estimates values for PP, AP and MP were [Formula: see text] 78.5 W, [Formula: see text] 44.4 W and [Formula: see text] 38.7 W, respectively. Peak and mean HRs from two tests were significantly correlated. No significant association was present between RAST-LA and RAST-RPE, and WAnT-LA and WAnT-RPE, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Although recruiting different physiological and metabolic processes, RAST may be used in place of WAnT to assess the anaerobic characteristics of young soccer players.
Chemical Abundances of Hydrostatic and Explosive Alpha-elements in Sagittarius Stream Stars

Published: May 2018

Abstract
We analyze chemical abundances of stars in the Sagittarius (Sgr) tidal stream using high-resolution Gemini+GRACES spectra of 42 members of the highest surface-brightness portions of both the trailing and leading arms. Targets were chosen using a 2MASS+WISE color–color selection, combined with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) radial velocities. In this Letter, we analyze [Fe/H] and α-elements produced by both hydrostatic (O, Mg) and explosive (Si, Ca, Ti) nucleosynthetic processes. The average [Fe/H] for our Sgr stream stars is lower than that for stars in the Sgr core, and stars in the trailing and leading arms show systematic differences in [Fe/H]. Both hydrostatic and explosive elements are depleted relative to Milky Way (MW) disk and halo stars, with a larger gap between the MW trend and Sgr stars for the hydrostatic elements. Chemical abundances of Sgr stream stars show similar patterns to those measured in the core of the Sgr dSph. We explore the ratio of hydrostatic to explosive α-elements [α
h/ex] (which we refer to as the “HEx ratio”). Our observed HEx ratio trends for Sgr debris are deficient relative to MW stars. Via simple chemical evolution modeling, we show that these HEx ratio patterns are consistent with a Sgr IMF that lacks the most massive stars. This study provides a link between the chemical properties in the intact Sgr core and the significant portion of the Sgr system’s luminosity that is estimated to currently reside in the streams.
Using Semantics for morphological Descriptions in Morph•D•Base
Authors: Köhler Christian , Baum Roman , Grobe Peter , Meid Sandra , Quast Björn , Vogt Lars 
Published: May 2018

Providing data in a semantically structured format has become the gold standard in data science. However, a significant amount of data is still provided as unstructured text - either because it is legacy data or because adequate tools for storing and disseminating data in a semantically structured format are still missing. We have developed a description module for Morph∙D∙Base, a semantic knowledge base for taxonomic and morphologic data, that enables users to generate highly standardized and formalized descriptions of anatomical entities using free text and ontology-based descriptions. The main organizational backbone of a description in Morph∙D∙Base is a partonomy, to which the user adds all the anatomical entities of the specimen that they want to describe. Each element of this partonomy is an instance of an ontology class and can be further described in two different ways:
as semantically enriched free-text description that is annotated with terms from ontologies, and
semantically through defined input forms with a wide range of ontology-terms to choose from.
To facilitate the integration of the free text into a semantic context, text can be automatically annotated using jAnnotator, a javascript library that uses about 700 ontologies with more than 8.5 million classes of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) bioportal. Users get to choose from suggested class definitions and link them to terms in the text, resulting in a semantic markup of the text. This markup may also include labels of elements that the user already added to the partonomy. Anatomical entities marked in the text can be added to the partonomy as new elements that can subsequently be described semantically using the input forms. Each free text together with its semantic annotations is stored following the W3C Web Annotation Data Model standard (https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model). The whole description with the annotated free text and the formalized semantic descriptions for each element of the partonomy are saved in the tuplestore of Morph∙D∙Base.
The demonstration is targeted at developers and users of data portals and will give an insight to the semantic Morph∙D∙Base knowledge base (https://proto.morphdbase.de) and jAnnotator (http://git.morphdbase.de/christian/jAnnotator).
Lions and Chickens: A specimen biography approach to unprovenanced natural history objects
Authors: Bauer Belinda 
Published: May 2018

Taxidermy made for display is often considered less significant in museum research collections. This is because historical taxidermy material often becomes disassociated with key data and through the rigours of public display, end up in poor physical condition.
However by tracing a specimen's biography as a living animal and following its transition into a museum afterlife, much can be revealed about the development of natural history collections and changing attitudes towards animals.
This presentation will investigate several pieces of taxidermy in the zoology collection of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) (http://www.tmag.tas.gov.au/collections_and_research/zoology/collections), where research has uncovered surprising stories and helped reassess the significance and cultural value of this material.
An unregistered lion head, identified as animal celebrity John Burns, tells the story of the golden age of Australian and New Zealand circuses, changing attitudes around animal ethics in the circus and the negotiations between scientific institutions in acquiring exotics species in the late nineteenth century.
A collection of taxidermied domestic chickens from the 1940s is found to mark the modernisation of the TMAG public displays in communicating current research and the development of a dedicated museum education unit.
The colourful afterlife of these specimens in the museum collection highlights struggles with storage issues, changes in collecting priorities and evolution of public display and education at TMAG.
TaxonWorks: A Use Case in Documenting Complex Biological Relationships
Authors: Trivellone Valeria , Dietrich Christopher H. , Dmitriev Dmitry , Yoder Matthew 
Published: May 2018

Compilation and retrieval of reliable data on biological interactions is one of the critical bottlenecks affecting efficiency and statistical power in testing ecological theories. TaxonWorks, a web-based workbench, can facilitate such research by enabling the digitization of complex biological interactions involving multiple species, individuals, and trophic levels. These data can be further organized into spatial and temporal axes, and annotated at the level of individual or grouped interactions (e.g. singularly citing the combined elements of a tritrophic interaction). The simple, customizable nature of tools ultimately reduces the time-consuming steps of data gathering, cleaning, and formatting of datasets for subsequent exploration and analysis while also improving the asserted semantics.
An example use case is provided with a dataset of associations among plants, pathogens and insect vectors. The curated data are accessed through the JSON serving TaxonWorks API (Application Programming Interface) by an R package. Analysis and visualization of the network graphs persisted in TaxonWorks is demonstrated using core R functionality and the igraph package (Csardi and Nepusz 2006).
TaxonWorks is open-source, collaboratively built software available at http://taxonworks.org.
REBIOMA Data Portal, Tool for Conservation Planning in Madagascar
Authors: Tsiky Rabetrano 
Published: May 2018

Recognizing the abundance and the accumulation of information and data on biodiversity that are still poorly exploited and even unfunded, the REBIOMA project (Madagascar Biodiversity Networking), in collaboration with partners, has developed an online dataportal in order to provide easy access to information and critical data, to support conservation planning and the expansion of scientific and professional activities in Madagascar biodiversity.
The mission of the REBIOMA data portal is to serve quality-labeled, up-to-date species occurrence data and environmental niche models for Madagascar’s flora and fauna, both marine and terrestrial. REBIOMA is a project of the Wildlife Conservation Society Madagascar and the University of California, Berkeley.
REBIOMA serves species occurrence data for marine and terrestrial regions of Madagascar. Following upload, data is automatically validated against a geographic mask and a taxonomic authority. Data providers can decide whether their data will be public, private, or shared only with selected collaborators. Data reviewers can add quality labels to individual records, allowing selection of data for modeling and conservation assessments according to quality. Portal users can query data in numerous ways.
One of the key features of the REBIOMA web portal is its support for species distribution models, created from taxonomically valid and quality-reviewed occurrence data. Species distribution models are produced for species for which there are at least eight, reliably reviewed, non-duplicate (per grid cell) records. Maximum Entropy Modeling (MaxEnt for short) is used to produce continuous distribution models from these occurrence records and environmental data for different eras: past (1950), current (2000), and future (2080). The result is generally interpreted as a prediction of habitat suitability. Results for each model are available on the portal and ready for download as ASCII and HTML files.

GBIF Benin's Data Portal
Authors: Lecoq Marie-Elise , Archambeau Anne-Sophie , Cavière Fabien , Koura Kourouma , Pamerlon Sophie , Ganglo Jean 
Published: May 2018

GBIF Benin, hosted at the University of Abomey-Calavi, has published more than 338,000 occurrence records in 87 datasets and checklists. It has been a Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) node since 2004 and is a leader in several projects from the Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) programme.
GBIF facilitates collaboration between nodes at different levels through its Capacity Enhancement Support Programme (CESP) [https://www.gbif.org/programme/82219/capacity-enhancement-support-programme]. One of the actions included in the CESP guidelines is called ‘Mentoring activities’. Its main goal is the transfer of knowledge between partners such as information, technologies, experience, and best practices.
Sharing architecture and development is the key solution to solve some technical challenges or impediments (hosting, staff turnover, etc.) that GBIF nodes could face. The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) team developed a functionality called ‘data hub’. It gives the possibility to create a standalone website with a dedicated occurrence search engine that seeks among a range of data (e.g. specific genus, geographic area).
In 2017, GBIF Benin and GBIF France wanted to strengthen their partnership and started a CESP project. One of the core objectives of this project is the creation of the Atlas of Living Benin using ALA modules. GBIF France developers, with the help of the GBIF Benin team, are in the process of configuring a data hub that will give access to Beninese data only, while at the same time Atlas of Living France will give access to French data only. Both data portals will use the same back end, therefore the same databases. Benin is the first African GBIF node to implement this kind of infrastructure.
On this poster, we will present the Atlas of Living Benin specific architecture and how we have managed to distinguish data coming from Benin and coming from France.
Freshwater Biodiversity of the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe: Assessing Conservation Priorities Using Primary Species-Occurrence Data
Authors: Mafuwe Kudzai 
Published: May 2018

The Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe is a biodiversity hotspot that forms part of the Eastern Afromontane region, which has seen an increase in human activities such as agriculture, illegal mining, and introduction of invasive species. These anthropogenic activities have had negative environmental consequences including land degradation and water pollution, which have negatively impacted on the quality of aquatic habitats and biodiversity in the region. The region harbours several freshwater species of conservation interest whose numbers and distribution are little known. We also do not know the impacts of the ongoing human activities and threats on the local wetland biodiversity and the integrity of the ecosystem in the region. The relevant data on the wetland biodiversity from previous studies and surveys is also not readiliy available to guide poliies and conservation efforts in this region.
With the aid of the Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) program sponsored by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and the European Union (EU), a project titled 'Freshwater Biodiversity of the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe: Assessing Conservation Priorities Using Primary Species-Occurrence Data' has mobilized and digitized over 2,000 occurrence records on freshwater biodiversity, with a focus on fish, invertebrates, amphibians and bird species in the region, since October 2017. The project also makes use of biodiversity informatics tools such as ecological niche modelling, to identify the important sites for conservation of the freshwater biodiversity in this region. The outputs will help to show policy makers, wildlife managers, researchers and conservationists where to target resources and conservation efforts. This will also help protect the biodiversity that still existsin the unprotected wetlands of the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe and that could be lost to human activities such as clearing for agriculture.
DemoCamp: BRIT Digitization Appliance
Authors: Best Jason 
Published: May 2018

In recent years, the natural history collections community has made great progress in accelerating the pace of collection digitization and global data-sharing. However, a common workflow bottleneck often occurs in that period immediately following image capture but preceding image submission to portals, a critical phase involving quality control, file management, image processing, metadata capture, data backup, and monitoring performance and progress.
While larger institutions have likely developed reliable, automated workflows over time, small and medium institutions may not have the expertise or resources to design and implement workflows that take full advantage of automation opportunities. Without automation, these institutions must invest many hours of manual effort to meet quality and performance goals.
To address its own needs, BRIT developed a number of workflow automation components, which coalesced over time into a suite of tools that operate on both an image capture station as a client application and on a server that provides file storage and image processing features. Together, these tools were created to meet the following goals:
Simplify file management and data preservation through automation
Quickly identify quality issues
Quickly capture skeletal metadata to facilitate later databasing
Significantly reduce time between image capture and online availability
Provide performance and quality monitoring and reporting
Easy configuration and maintenance of client and server
The client and server components together can be considered a “digitization appliance”: software integrated with the specific goal of providing a comprehensive suite of digitization tools that can be quickly and easily deployed on simple consumer hardware. We have made this software available to the natural history collections community under an open-source license at https://github.com/BRITorg/digitization_appliance.
