Use of Virtual Reality in Designing Urban Furniture
Authors: Petrov Hristiyan Toshkov 
Published: June 2018

Virtual Reality does not have to be limited to only being a representation and experiential tool - it can be a powerful way of conceiving objects for our physical world as well. The unique features of this technology revolve around the usage of peripheral devices such as controllers (joysticks) and gloves in tandem with VR goggles. By using this type of modeling, designers can overcome some of the current limitations of the design process such as transitioning from sketch to model, scalability of physical models and manipulation difficulties of computer generated models.
An analysis has been made of the evolution of design methodology and its natural progression to virtual and augmented reality. Traditionally the design process of urban design objects starts on paper is evolved through computer modeling and is later tested via physical models and full-scale prototypes. Virtual reality modeling can significantly optimize this process by merging several of the design development phases into one. Sketching, building and testing can be done fully in the virtual environment and the representation of newly created objects will no longer be limited to a 2D surface such as a sheet of paper or a computer screen. The transition to 3D printing is also streamlined with the outcome of the VR designed object being a clear manifestation of the object created in virtual reality.
The goal of the study is to develop a piece of urban furniture, using a virtual reality headset, joysticks and modeling software, manipulate its features and multiply/scale it within the digital environment. The research question is whether such modeling can be precise enough to not only be used as a sketching and sculpting tool but can become the next frontier after computer 3D modeling. The experiment is carried out in two different parts of the world simultaneously – USA and Bulgaria and conceived and manipulated in real-time. The results are analyzed and the advantages and disadvantages of the approach are compared to current design development tools.
Strategies in Learning and Techniques in Teaching English Speaking
Authors: Noviyenty Leffi 
Published: June 2018

Learning how to speak English fluently and accurately is always a grand task for foreign students. Strategies in learning to speak as one of important factors of speaking skill should be considered not only by foreign students but also the teachers. Students’ strategies in learning to speak English should be in balance with teachers’ techniques in teaching students to speak English. Both affect the improvement of students’ ability in speaking English. This research is descriptive which tries to describe and elaborate the students of SMAN 1 Curup’s strategies in learning to speak English and their English techniques in teaching them to speak. There were 47 third year students selected as the sample from 8 classes and 7 English teachers. The instruments used in this study were questionnaire which were given both to the students and teachers with different items and also interview guidance. The findings showed that the strategies used by SMAN 1 Curup’s students in learning to speak English were classified into metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, social strategies, and affective strategies. The English teacher techniques in teaching student were roleplay, group presentation, group discussion, speech competition, dialogues, direct correction, speaking in group, debate competition, games, and listening song.

Authors: ŞERİFOĞLU İsmail , ÖZ İbrahim İlker , TOSUN Alptekin , DEMİR Mustafa Kemal 
Published: July 2018

Aim: The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate the prognostic impact of computed tomography (CT) signs in the analysis of small bowel obstruction (SBO). Patients and Method: Sixty consecutive patients with acute abdominal pain who were examined using abdominal CT to diagnose SBO were included in the study. 47 patients of them (26 male; 21 female and mean age, 60 years), were evaluated. CT evaluation parameters were mesenteric congestion, transition zone, feces sign, intramural air and intraperitoneal free fluid. Results: There was a statistically significant association between the SBO diagnosis and CT findings for mesenteric congestion, transition zone and intramural air (p&lt;0.05 for all). These CT signs had greatest sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) in diagnosis of SBO. The combination of mesenteric congestion, transition zone and in-tramural air showed a significant association in the diagnosis of SBO (p&lt;0.05). Small bowel feces sign and intraperitoneal free fluid findings had no statistically significant value in the diagnosis of SBO (p&gt;0.05). When three or more CT findings were seen together, there was a statistically significant association in the diagnosis (p&lt;0.05).

Conclusion: Mesenteric congestion and transition zone had the highest sensitivity and PPV in diagnosing SBO. The combination of mesenteric congestion, transition zone and intramural air and the presence of three or more CT signs markedly increase the specificity in diagnosis of SBO.

Published: July 2018

Amaç: Maternal yaş ve sigaranın prenatal dönemdeki fetal gelişim üzerine olan etkilerini araştırmak. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaşları 17–41 (yaş ortalaması: 27.05±5.75) arasında değişen, gebelik haftası 11–40 haftalar arasında olan 914 gebe dahil edildi. Gebeler yaşlarına göre; 20 yaşından küçük veya eşit olanlar, 21-25 yaş arasında olanlar, 26-30 yaş arasında olanlar, 31-35 yaş arasında olanlar ve 35 yaştan büyük olanlar olmak üzere beş, sigara içenler ve içmeyenler olarak da iki gruba ayrıldı. Daha sonra fetuslara ait kilo, baş çevresi (HC), bi-parietal çap (BPD), karın çevresi (AC) ve femur uzunluğu (FL) değişkenleri alındı. Bulgular: Fetal dönem boyunca alınan tüm değişkenlerin haftalara, trimesterlere, aylara, yaşa ve sigaraya göre ortalamaları ve standart sapmaları belirlendi. Tüm değişkenler ile gestasyonel yaş arasında anlamlı korelasyon ilişkisi olduğu gözlendi (p&lt;0.001). Gebelik süresince alınan fetal biyometrik değişkenlerin, trimesterler ve aylar arası karşılaştırmasında gruplar arasında istatistiki olarak fark olduğu (p&lt;0.05), yaş (bazı yaş grupları hariç) ve sigara grupları karşılaştırmasında ise; gruplar arasında istatistiki olarak fark olmadığı tespit edildi (p&gt;0.05).

Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonucunda maternal yaş ve sigaranın fetal değişkenleri etkilediğini gözlemledik. Çalışmamız sonucunda elde ettiğimiz verilerin fetal dönemde maternal yaş ve sigaranın fetal değişkenler üzerine olan etkilerinin değerlendirilmesinde yardımcı olacağını düşünmekteyiz.

Published: June 2018

Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of patients with sesamoid disorders in a sample of patients treated in the Brazilian public health system. Methods: A retrospective study was performed by reviewing the electronic charts of foot and ankle outpatient consultations over the past 5 years, analysing variables such as sex, age, occupation, ethnicity, participation in sports, laterality, and affected sesamoid (medial or lateral). Results: Abnormalities in hallucal sesamoids occur more frequently in women (63/108), during the third decade of life (56/108), and in the medial sesamoid (74/108); 65.7% of the sample with these abnormalities participated in physical activity regularly. No significant relationship was observed with laterality or occupation. Conclusion: The most commonly affected patients were females, with a mean age of 23.7 years, who participated in physical activity frequently; the right side and medial sesamoid bone were the most commonly affected sites.

Published: June 2018

Objective: To evaluate the degree of sesamoid complex correction in patients with moderate and severe hallux valgus undergoing cuneometatarsal arthrodesis by comparing general pre- and postoperative values and also post-reduction outcomes between moderate and severe cases. Methods: The radiographs of 24 patients (83.3% females and 16.7% males) who underwent arthrodesis of the first cuneometatarsal joint wereretrospectively analysed. The patients’ mean age was 52.58 years. The metatarsophalangeal, intermetatarsal and sesamoid dislocation angles were measured on the preoperative and immediate postoperative radiographs, with the former measured in the standing position and the latter measured intraoperatively, all in the anteroposterior incidence. The first metatarsal lateralization necessary to centralize the sesamoids wasmeasured in degrees. We refer to this angle as the “angle to be corrected”. Results: We achieved sesamoid dislocation correction, reducing the indicated angles in relation to their preoperative values. Both moderate and severe cases showed statistically significant differences in angular correction after surgery, with p=0.018 and p<0.001, respectively. Comparing the moderate and severe cases, a statistically significant difference was observed preoperatively, with p=0.007; however, the results were not statistically significant postoperatively (p=0.227). Conclusion: We achieved effective correction of the ABC in terms of both the total patient sample and the isolated analysis of the moderate and severe groups. Preoperatively, the moderate cases had smaller angles than the severe cases, but both groups exhibited reductions in these angles in the postoperative period and had similar outcomes.

THE MARKET POWER OF TURKEY'S IMPORTED TOBACCO MARKET
Authors: ÖNDER Yrd. Doç. Dr. Kübra 
Published: June 2018

Despite
its high share in the taxes collected and the superiority in foreign trade,
tobacco production has been regulated by special laws for many years due to the
increased production of tobacco to the detriment of other agricultural products
and the large number of producers. Public supervision, regulation and
surveillance are still in progress despite the major changes experienced in the
tobacco market due to the recent changes in legislation. Tobacco production
cannot be increased because of technological insufficiency and inadequate
development of research activities. As well as this, there is an increase in the
demand for imported tobacco, which is relatively cheaper than domestic tobacco
in the global competitive environment. This is what transforms Turkey's market
position into the largest tobacco importer which was a tobacco exporting
country before. The aim of this study is
to calculate Turkey's market power in the tobacco import market econometrically
by using New Industrial Organization method. Market power coefficient was found
to be 0.37 in this study in which annual data for the period 1994-2016 were used.
This result reveals that Turkey's tobacco import is not realized under perfect
competition conditions and the firms display behaviors in oligopolistic
structure.
BİR TOPLUMSAL İKTİDAR ALANI OLARAK BEDEN VE “YAŞLANAN BEDENİN” YENİDEN İNŞAASI

Published: June 2018

İnsanın yaşamının normal döngüleri arasında bulunan
yaşlılık günümüzde bir sosyal sorun olarak tanımlanarak kaçınılması,
dolayısıyla geciktirilmesi gereken bir durum olarak algılanmaktadır. Bu durum yaşlılığın toplumsal boyutuna
dikkatleri çeker. Çünkü yaşlılığı tanımlayan ve toplumsal hiyerarşide
dezavantajlı alanda konumlandıran söz konusu toplumdaki iktidar ilişkilerini
belirleyen egemen değerlerdir. Bu anlamda beden politikaları ve bedenin bir
tüketim alanı olarak tüketim toplumundaki konumu da önemli olmaktadır. Buradan
hareket eden bu çalışma, günümüz tüketim toplumunda yaşlanma ve yaşlılığı aktif
çalışma yaşamında yer alamaması nedeniyle önce dışarıda bırakan yönüyle yeni
bir ayrım biçimi olarak ele almaktadır. Ardından yine tüketim ilişkileri içine bir
tüketici olarak dahil edilen yaşlılık kavramı sorgulanmaktadır. Yani bu çalışma
kısaca toplumsal iktidar ilişkileri içinde yaşlılığa yüklenen anlamlar ile
sosyal alanda iktidar kaybı olarak tanımlanan yaşlılığa dair pratiklerin piyasa
ekonomisi odaklı olarak tartışılmasına dayanmaktadır.
AHMADIYAH DALAM LINGKAR TEOLOGI ISLAM (Analisis Sosial atas Sejarah Munculnya Ahmadiyah)
Authors: Muhtador Moh 
Published: June 2018

Abstrac. This paper specifically discusses the Islamic sects from the social aspect, given the birth of the religious school can not be separated from the social environment. Social behavior has shaped the character in understanding the teachings of religion, thus giving birth to religious streams adapted to the local social context. Therefore, the growth of Islam is part of social interaction and religious teachings that become the repertoire of Islamic theological thought, such as Ahmadiyah. As a religious organization, the birth of Ahmadiyah is not much different from the birth of Shia, Sunni and Khawarij. Given that each sect has a different social character at the beginning of its birth, so does the Ahmadiyya. the sociologically Ahmadiyya is a portrait of the Islamic struggle in India with the surrounding theological character. This study is a research library that aims to analyze the history of Islamic theological thought by using social approach. Hopefully, it can open Islamic discourse related to the birth of sect in Islam, especially Ahmadiyah. Given the birth of a sect is not a religious teaching that comes from God, but part of one's ijtihad in answering social problems in a time. Keywords: Ahmadiyah, Islamic theologi, social Abstrak. Tulisan ini secara khusus mendiskusikan sekte-sekte Islam dari aspek sosial, mengingat lahirnya aliran keagamaan tidak bisa lepas dari lingkungan sosial. Perilaku sosial telah membentuk karakter dalam memahami ajaran agama, sehingga melahirkan aliran-aliran keagamaan yang disesuaikan dengan konteks sosial setempat. Oleh sebab itu, tumbuhnya aliran Islam adalah bagian dari interaksi sosial dan ajaran agama yang menjadi khazanah pemikiran teologi Islam, seperti Ahmadiyah. Sebagai sebuah organisasi keagamaan, lahirnya Ahmadiyah tidak jauh berbeda dengan lahirnya Syiah, Sunni dan Khawarij. Mengingat masing-masing sekte memiliki karakter sosial berbeda pada awal kelahirannya, begitu juga Ahmadiyah. secara sosiologis Ahmadiyah adalah potret dari pergulatan Islam di India dengan karakter teologis yang melingkupi. Kajian ini merupakan library research yang bertujuan untuk menganalisa sejarah pemikiran teologi Islam dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosial. Diharapkan, dapat membuka wacana keislaman terkait dengan lahirnya sekte dalam Islam, terutama Ahmadiyah. Mengingat lahirnya sekte bukan ajaran agama yang datang dari Tuhan, tetapi bagian dari ijtihad seseorang dalam menjawab problem sosial dalam suatu masa. Kata Kunci: Ahmadiyah, teologi Islam, sosial

In the literary criticism, materialism is one of approach to analyze the values in the literary works. Its used by Fitzgerald to view the complexity of the story in the ‘Great Gatsby’ Novel, but unfortunately the fact, its ironic because material satisfaction is only empty happiness as reflected in this paper.
