Cross Saturation Inductance Analysis of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
Authors: ERGENE Lale T. , İMERYÜZ Murat , EKİN Cihad 
Published: August 2018

This paper presents the cross saturation
effect on a specially designed spoke type permanent magnet synchronous motor
(PMSM) for the sensorless vector control. The cross saturation effect becomes
very important where the sensorless control algorithm is used. Accurate flux
linkage modeling is required to obtain a satisfactory position estimation and
eventually minimum induced torque error. The magnetic saturation is the most
impacting parameters affecting the position error. Since the Ld and Lq
inductance difference is generally less than 5% in the spoke type PMSM, the
accurate estimation of the cross saturation is critical for the sensorless
vector control. In this paper, the
designed PMSM has the Ld and Lq difference in 15% level even for the overload
capacity. So it is even possible to operate the motor in the transient modes
with the overload capacity by estimating right cross saturation effect with
certain time limits. The mapping of the inductances and efficiency are obtained
by using Finite element method and presented in the paper. Some experimental
results are also given such as efficiency and power-speed variation at the
constant torque.

Purpose. Parkinson's disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disorder, is usually treated with Levodopa (L-DOPA). The use of this drug, however, is severely limited by the development of side effects of the motor system: Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). The aim of this study is to investigate the association between seven COMT gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the development of LID in patients with PD. Methods. 232 Caucasian patients with PD were investigated. 212 patients with PD received Levodopa therapy. Dyskinesia was assessed with the use of the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). Genotyping was carried out on seven SNPs of the COMT gene (rs4680, rs6269, rs4633, rs4818, rs769224, rs165774, rs174696) using a real-time PCR method, and blind to the clinical status of the subjects. Results. We found association between four SNPs, rs165774, rs4818, rs4633, rs4680, and LID. When the duration of disease was added as a covariate in regression analysis, however, the results did not reach statistical significance. Only the additive model for rs165774 was found to be close to be statistical significance (OR = 1.627 [0.976–2.741], permutation p = 0.057). Conclusions. The results failed to clearly support a contribution of the studied polymorphisms; this may be related to a dominant relationship with the disease duration confounding the effect on the prevalence of LID.

Authors: CEYLAN Yusuf 
Published: August 2018

Bu makalede, pragmatist görüşler taşıyan din eğitimi
yaklaşımı ve onu savunan eğitimcilerin fikirleri ele alınmıştır. Söz konusu
yaklaşımın din eğitimi anlayışı, bu anlayışın temellendiği eğitim paradigması
ile bilgi ve öğrenme konusundaki belli başlı varsayımları
değerlendirilmektedir. Bu yaklaşımda din eğitiminin hedefi olarak bilgi yerine
tecrübe merkeze alınmaktadır. İnsanın varoluşunda bilgiden çok tecrübenin etkin
olduğu savunularak kişilik gelişimi açısından tecrübelere öğretim sürecinde
daha fazla önem verilmektedir. Anti-pozitivist karakterde dönüşümcü bir eğitim
anlayışına sahip söz konusu yaklaşımda bilgi ve öğrenmeyle ilgili pragmatist
kabullerin yanında kişilikle ilgili varsayımlarında postmodernist izler
görülmektedir. Makalenin ilk bölümünde yeni din eğitimi yaklaşımlarının
sosyo-kültürel ve pedagojik arka planı; ikinci bölümde bu yaklaşımın felsefî
temelde bilgi ile ilgili varsayımları ve son bölümde de ona yöneltilen

Türk-İslâm
Edebiyatı’nda na’t, mevlid, hilye, mi‘râcnâme gibi bazı türler Hz. Peygamber’i
doğrudan konu edinmiş ve bu eserlerde âyet ve hadislere de yer verilmiştir.
Edebiyat ve sanatta sevgi, aşk, güzellik gibi pek çok soyut kavram sembollerle
dile getirilmiştir. Bu sembollerden biri olan gül ise diğerlerine göre oldukça
geniş bir kullanım alanına sahiptir. Edebiyat ve sanatta birçok sembolik anlamı
yanında gül, Hz. Peygamber’i veya Hz. Peygamber gülü sembolize etmektedir. Bu
husus dile getirilirken bazen açıkça veya telmih yoluyla gül hakkındaki uydurma
rivayetler de referans olarak zikredilmiştir. Bu makalede edebiyatta gülün Hz.
Peygamber’le ilişkisinin söz konusu rivayetlerle ilgisi ve rivayetlerin bu
düşünceye etkisinin olup olmadığı ele alınacaktır.
ARNAVUTLUK’TA OSMANLI DÖNEMİNDE (XV-XVII. YÜZYILLARDA) MÜSLÜMANLAR İLE HIRİSTİYANLARIN BİRLİKTE YAŞAMA TECRÜBESİ
Authors: RRUGA İlir 
Published: August 2018

Dünyanın önde gelen dinlerinden olan İslâmiyet ve Hıristiyanlık, Arnavutluk
bölgesinde birbiriyle ilk temaslarından itibaren bir arada yaşama imkânı
bulmuştur. Osmanlı hâkimiyeti içerisinde olduğu XV-XVII. yüzyıllarda
Arnavutların dinî inanç panoramasına bakıldığında Hıristiyan ve Müslüman nüfus
oranının birbirine yakın bir görüntüye sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Özellikle
Batı’da olmak üzere dünyanın farklı yerlerinde etnik, dinî, mezhepsel vb.
nedenlerden dolayı meydana gelen çatışmalar sonucu binlerce kişinin hayatını
kaybettiği o dönemde, Arnavutluk’ta yaşayan halk birbirine son derece saygı ve
sevgi göstererek ve hoşgörüde bulunarak birlik ve beraberlik içerisinde
yaşamıştır. Öyle ki birbirlerine acı ve mutlu günlerinde ziyarette bulunmaları,
din adamları arasındaki samimi ilişkiler, verilen tımarı paylaşmaları, aynı
ailede hem Hıristiyan hem de Müslüman kişilerin bulunması şeklindeki ticarî ve
sosyo-kültürel ilişkiler adeta birbirini tamamlayan bir portreyi
anımsatmaktadır.

Dolayısıyla Arnavut diyarlarında görülen bu farklı dinlere inananlar
arasındaki uyum ve hoşgörünün dünyaya örnek teşkil ettiği söylenebilir.
İSLAM HUKÛKUNDA CİNSEL DOKUNULMAZLIĞA KARŞI İŞLENEN HETK-İ IRZ (TECAVÜZ) SUÇUNUN CEZASI VE KUR’AN CEZA İLKELERİ AÇISINDAN DEĞERLENDİRMESİ
Authors: YILDIRIM Adem 
Published: August 2018

İnsan bedenine karşı işlenen en ağır suçlardan biri hetk-i
ırz (tecavüz) suçudur. İslam hukuku tecavüz suçunu müstakil bir suç türü olarak
değil, zina suçu kapsamında ele almıştır. Tecavüz fiiline ceza müeyyidesi
olarak had cezası öngörmüştür. Aynı zamanda faile birtakım tazminatlar da
yüklemiştir.

Bu suça Osmanlı kanunnamelerinde ağırlaştırılmış bir ceza
müeyyidesi olarak hadım cezası öngörülmüştür. Hadım cezası Tanzimatla birlikte
yerini hapis cezasına bırakmıştır. Türk Ceza Hukuku’nda tecavüz fiili müstakil
bir suç türü olarak değil, cinsel dokunulmazlığa karşı suçlar başlığı altında
mütalaa edilmiştir. Günümüzde bazı Avrupa devletleri tecavüz suçuna Osmanlı
kanunnamelerinde olduğu gibi hadım cezası vermektedir. Fakat Osmanlı
kanunnamelerindeki cerrahi hadım cezası, burada yerini kimyasal hadıma
bırakmıştır. Tecavüze maruz kalan mağdurun düştüğü zor durum dikkate
alındığında, Osmanlı Kanunnamelerinde olduğu gibi bu suçun cezası cerrâhî
kastrasyon (hadım) olmalıdır. Kur’an ceza ilkeleri dikkatlice incelendiğinde
tecavüz suçunun cezasının cerrâhî kastrasyon olması gerektiği savunulabilir.&nbsp;

Authors: Flores Vivar Jesús Miguel 
Published: August 2018

El artículo analiza la inclusión de las neurociencias como la antropología y la etnografía en el estudio de las audiencias en internet. Estas disciplinas, al ser aplicadas en entornos digitales, derivan en nombres como ciberantropología, antropología digital y etnografía virtual. Estas adquieren relevancia en los procesos comunicativos de la gente mediada por ordenador, y están influenciadas por las nuevas formas narrativas, proponiéndose un enfoque más transversal y multidisciplinario en el estudio de usuarios con el objetivo de conocer y detectar las necesidades de los mismos, así como conocer con profundidad el fenómeno de masas que se alinean en las redes sociales utilizando diferentes dispositivos móviles. Finalmente, se sugieren algunos pasos adicionales para la articulación de una antropología del ciberperiodismo, explorando las implicaciones de las disciplinas tratadas como estrategias innovadoras en el estudio del periodismo y comunicación.

Entre palabras, imágenes e indigenismos: estudio comparativo entre Amauta y Boletín Titikaka
Authors: Villanueva Ccahuana Philarine Stefany 
Published: August 2018

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo demostrar que, en la década de 1920, el discurso del indigenismo que se manifestaba en las revistas culturales a través de sus textos escritos y visuales no era homogéneo, sino se articulaba con otros indigenismos dentro de un campo cultural complejo y heterodoxo. Concretamente, se estudian las propuestas estético-ideológicas de dos revistas y cómo estas se articulan: Amauta (Lima, 1926-1930) y Boletín Titikaka (Puno, 1926- 1930). Se concluye que el indigenismo tenía un significado fluctuante en tanto era definido e interpretado de diversas maneras, las cuales se expresaron a través del discurso escrito y visual de las publicaciones de la época.
El señor, el lirismo y la sangre. Una aproximación literaria y lingüística al harawi quechua de Kilku Warak’a en la poética de Yawar Para
Authors: Quispe Collantes Roxana 
Published: August 2018

En este artículo analizo algunos recursos presentes en Yawar Para (Lluvia de sangre), un poemario publicado entre las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Mi objetivo es aproximarme a la poesía escrita por una de las cumbres de la expresión poética en quechua, Killku Warak’a (seudónimo de Andrés Alencastre Gutiérrez). En Yawar Para, el poeta alude al dolor como una fuerza que posibilita la transfiguración y que responde a la ausencia de los seres queridos, desde el llamado a la filiación y la evocación de la angre. Ofrezco una lectura bilingüe de sus poemas, así como una mirada crítica a la mediación del poeta como voz de los runakuna (hombres quechua). El método empleado es el análisis de los recursos poéticos del autor para expresar su vinculación con el quechua. Evidencia un llaki phuyu (nube cargada de tristeza) que vierte una incesante y sangrienta lluvia sobre el runa.
Aesthetics of Retailers: An Evaluation of Self-Service, Full Service, and Web-Retailers
Authors: Aziz Khurram 
Published: August 2018

Â Organizational aesthetics is a new area of organizational study and relates with a form of human knowledge which a person develops by using his five senses including hearing, sight, touch, taste, and smell. This knowledge of a person is associated with developing a perception about an organization, its purpose, main values, etc. Aesthetics shapes emotions, attitudes, and behavior of people. The aim of this research is to evaluate aesthetics of different service level of retailers of convenience products. Such evaluation of aesthetics of retailers based on service level would become the basis of evaluation of how each option generates value for the customers. Such knowledge will be useful for the organizational decision makers and they can use it to select/adjust service level with the desired level of value. In order to achieve the stated aim, a scientific research was carried out by the researchers. The researchers used case study research methods to analyze the dynamics of retail sales level in order to evaluate related aesthetics. The purpose was to evaluate, contrast and compare the aesthetics of different service levels (self-service, assorted-service, and full-service). The data collected during this research project was exclusively carried out for this research project only and was collected during the month of March 2016. Data was collected from different countries including United States of America and Pakistan. The findings of the research uncovered that style of three diverse retail benefit levels change in view of; design of retail outlet, comfort-related with each type of outlet, cleanliness, basic leadership process, impact of sales representatives, self-rule of purchaser in choosing items/administrations, cost of operations to retailer, speed of administration, assortment looking for conduct, music, sound and video in retail condition, capacity to counsel others, chance to feel items, level of instruction, chance to retailer of association and gaining from clients and shopping at claim speed. Retailers should choose their retailing technique (self-benefit retailing, full-benefit retailing and e-retailer) after a watchful investigation of these variables.

Published: August 2018

The study examines the relationship among organizational culture, employee performance, employee satisfaction and turnover in the telecommunication sector of Pakistan. Empirical studies are needed to understand the phenomena, so that the organizations would be able to handle the barriers in management objectives. It was a field study so survey was formed and conducted; data was gathered through distributed questionnaires from 260 employees of public & private, national and multinationals organizations from the cities of Rawalpindi-Islamabad. All the employees willingly participated in the survey though their confidentiality was in tacked. Interestingly the results of this specific investigation make this study unique and important as it indicated that organizational culture types Community, Innovative, Competitive and Bureaucratic on employee performance, satisfaction and turnover have different impacts. The study relies on cross-sectional data obtained once from employees of multiple multinationals and national organizations. The employees were from all three types of organizations i.e. service providers, contractors and sub-contractors. Regression tests were applied to analyze the data. . It leads to conclusion that employees are performing well, even being unsatisfied and want to remain with their current jobs. This study provides the knowledge that the results of the measures of same constructs cannot be same across different cultures and countries. With this study government and managers should realize the alarming situation in their organizations regarding employeesâ€™ behaviors in sometimes unfeasible organizational cultures. The future studies should examine the political and economic constructs and their influence on organizational culture and employees. The present study wishes to contribute in the knowledge gap regarding how organizational culture is impacting employeesâ€™ performance, satisfaction and turnover in telecommunication sector of Pakistan It also raises the importance for exploring and developing the theories on the basis of economic and political aspects rather perceiving single theory equally across different cultures.
