Observation of gauge boson joint-polarisation states in W±Z production from pp collisions at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Get PDFMeasurements of joint-polarisation states of W and Z gauge bosons in W±Z production are presented. The data set used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb?1 of proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The W±Z candidate events are reconstructed using leptonic decay modes of the gauge bosons into electrons and muons. The simultaneous pair-production of longitudinally polarised vector bosons is measured for the first time with a significance of 7.1 standard deviations. The measured joint helicity fractions integrated over the fiducial region are f00=0.067±0.010, f0T=0.110±0.029, fT0=0.179±0.023 and fTT=0.644±0.032, in agreement with the next-to-leading-order Standard Model predictions. Individual helicity fractions of the W and Z bosons are also measured and found to be consistent with joint helicity fractions within the expected amounts of correlation. Both the joint and individual helicity fractions are also measured separately in W+Z and W?Z events. Inclusive and differential cross sections for several kinematic observables sensitive to polarisation are presented. © 202

Reviving the temple of Athena Ilias at Troy/Ilion
No full textOwing to the legendary fame of Troy's story, the Temple of Athena (the Athenaion) is one of the most enigmatic monuments of antiquity which holds an influential mythical legacy. Long after the great days of Homer's Troy, a new Hellenistic city called Ilion (Roman = Ilium) was founded on the site. At Ilion a new custom that solidified the Homeric credentials of the site was established, and a new temple was built to Athena. Since the temple was almost completely decimated and even its remains were demolished during excavations, it has been one of the most difficult Hellenistic temples to reconstruct. A virtual revival of the non-existing superstructure is presented in this work by synthesizing the existing knowledge (e.g. literary evidence, archaeological evidence, numismatic evidence, topographical evidence, etc.) to support a realistic reconstruction. Along with the immersive visualizations offered by digital technologies, a virtual 3D visit to the sanctuary of the Temple of Athena offers a very attractive opportunity to examine this temple or experience its cultural space. The realistic reconstruction of the Athenaion is important in reviving the Homeric associations of the site and refreshing the memory. © 2023 Elsevier Lt
Reception
No full textIn this Chapter, we describe the strategic temporality embedded in the Turkish reception system for Syrian refugees. First, we focus on the effect of laws and how they lead to nuances in multilevel governance on the ground where a local turn is observable, and a politics of subsidiarity is created. We discuss the discursive dimension of reception governance, which centres on cultural intimacy and guesthood rhetorics. These narratives reflect the strategic approach of policymakers who consistently underline that migrants’ reception is a temporal phenomenon. The chapter provides a multi-layered emphasis on discourses and practices that show how the reception is a policy field where strategic temporality is a dominant mode. © 2023, The Author(s)
EULER-ZAGIER SUMS VIA TRIGONOMETRIC SERIES
No full textIn this note, we study the evaluations of Euler sums via trigonometric series. It is a commonly believed conjecture that for an even weight greater than seven, Euler sums cannot be evaluated in terms of the special values of the Riemann zeta function. For an even weight, we reduce the evaluations of Euler sums into the evaluations of double series and integrals of products of Clausen functions. We also re-evaluate Euler sums of odd weight using a new method based on trigonometric series
Media representations of naturalized athletes: Sentiment variations and trends in Turkish media
Get PDFTurkey has received consistent criticism from international media for having many naturalized athletes in its national squad, both in the Olympic Games and other major international sporting events. Similar criticisms have also been a feature of debates for a long time in domestic media, varying in views toward these athletes. This research focuses on media representations of naturalized athletes in Turkey between 2008 and 2020. We investigated the sentiments of news items from four major Turkish newspapers (Milliyet, Cumhuriyet, Sabah and Fanatik) on their stances toward naturalized athletes over the timespan of 2008–2020. Beside analyzing the sentiment of the media content both cumulatively and fragmentedly, we also identified the yearly trends and most featured sports in this context, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. Our findings showed that sentiments in Turkish media toward naturalized athletes are mostly neutral and negative as well as with differences varying on the basis of the newspapers and news item types. The most criticism underlined pursuing “shortcut” success with naturalized athletes representing Turkey in the international arena. Among the featured sports, basketball, football, and track and field have been the most discussed ones in the naturalization context

No full textAMC Mecanocaucho;Bosco Italia Spa;Ecophon Saint-Gobain;et al.;Head Acoustics;Mason Industries, Inc.10th Convention of the European Acoustics Association, EAA 2023 -- 11 September 2023 through 15 September 2023 -- -- 198863Turkish Acoustical Society (TAKDER) and Occupational Hygienists Society (IHIDER) of Turkey organized a series of events for International Noise Awareness Day (INAD) 2023 in collaboration with, Acoustical Society of Italy and Acoustical Society of Spain with the theme “Keep your hearing, keep your health: Educational facilities”. As part of INAD 2023 activities, a research project for assessment of acoustic conditions in schools and teachers' noise exposure and its health effects was started as a joint project between TAKDER and IHIDER. This short paper introduces the preliminary results of this project, including evaluation of the acoustical quality in four Turkish schools of four institution levels: kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and secondary school. The acoustic performance of schools was analyzed by on-site measurements of sound insulation, reverberation time, ambient noise levels and speech intelligibility. The findings of the survey were analyzed in reference to the national regulation. The results indicate that most of the building elements and school spaces do not comply with acoustic criteria. The findings are further to be discussed in collaboration with professionals from variety of disciplines to transform schools through a healthier and more comfortable learning environment for children and teachers. © 2023 First author et al.

Emotional contagion theory and consumer behavior: mom influncers’ effect on follower’s purchase behaviors
Get PDFÖZET: Bu çalışmanın amacı, anne etkileyicilerin Instagram topluluklarındaki duygusal bulaşıcılığın, takipçilerinin tüketim davranışları üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktır. Araştırmada, duygusal bulaşıcılık, algılanan sahicilik, algılanan orijinallik, duygusal bağ ve güven faktörlerinin, anne etkileyicilerin takipçilerinin satın alma isteği, taklit etme isteği ve etkileyiciye yönelik tutumları açısından davranışsal sonuçlarına nasıl katkıda bulunduğuna odaklanılmaktadır. Prolific aracılığıyla gönderilen anketle İngiltere ve ABD’de yaşayan 417 katılımcıdan toplanan araştırma verileri, değişkenler ve hipotezleri test etmek üzere SPSS AMOS üzerinden Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli (Structural Equation Modeling) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, duygusal bulaşıcılık değişkeni ile anne etkileyicilerin algılanan sahiciliği, algılanan orijinalliği ve etkileyicilere karşı duyulan duygusal bağ arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, anne etkileyicilerin algılanan sahiciliğinin ve onlara karşı hissedilen duygusal bağın, takipçilerinin güvenlerini kazanmaları üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Takipçileri aralarındaki duygusal bağın kuvvetli olması da, takipçileri tarafından taklit edilme isteklerini artırarak, etkileyicilere karşı olumlu tutumlar geliştirmelerini sağlamaktadır. Tüm bunlara ek olarak, güven ve duygusal bağ faktörleri, takipçilerin satın alma isteklerini artıran diğer önemli değişkenlerdir. Ayrıca, etkileyicilerin algılanan sahiciliğinin takipçilerinin satın alma isteği, taklit etme isteği ve onlara karşı olan tutumlarını olumlu etkilediği gözlemlense de, algılanan orijinallik için bu durumun olumsuz yönde gerçekleştiği gözlemlenmiştir. Duygusal bulaşıcılık, etkileyici ve takipçi arasındaki ilişki ve takipçi davranışları üzerine yapılan analizler, satın alma isteği, taklit etme isteği ve etkileyiciye karşı tutum değişkenleri ile algılanan orijinallik değişkeni arasında ters bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Ters ilişki gözlemlenen son değişkenler de, etkileyiciye karşı tutum ve duygusal bağ olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, sosyal medya ve etkileyici pazarlama uygulamaları üzerindeki duygusal bulaşmanın etkilerine ışık tutarken, mevcut pazarlama literatürüne yeni bir psikolojik bakış açısı ve yaklaşım getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Aynı zamanda sonuçlar anne etkileyiciler ile iş birliği yapan markalar için de bir yol gösterici niteliği taşımaktadır.ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of emotional contagion on the consumption behavior of individuals through mom influencers’ Instagram communities. This research focuses on how the factors of emotional contagion, perceived authenticity, uniqueness, emotional attachment, and trust contribute to the behavioral outcomes of the followers of mom influencers in terms of purchase intention, desire to mimic, and attitudes toward the influencer. The research is conducted with a survey through Prolific with 417 UK and USA citizens. To test the relationship between these variables and the proposed hypotheses, Structural Equation Model was used through SPSS AMOS. The findings indicate a positive relationship between emotional contagion and the perceived authenticity and uniqueness of mom influencers as well as the emotional attachment of their followers. In addition, the results show that the emotional attachment and perceived authenticity of these influencers have a positive impact on gaining the trust of their followers. Also, emotional attachment to these influencers increases the desire to be mimicked by their followers and generate positive attitude feedback. Furthermore, the factors of trust and emotional attachment are other key indicators that increase the followers’ purchase intention. Also, the results show that the authenticity of influencers affects the attitude of their followers positively while uniqueness did not have any significant effect on followers’ purchase intention, desire to mimic, and attitudes which is important to consider as a meaningful result regarding the dynamics of these Instagram communities. Lastly, emotional contagion has been found to have a negative relationship with variables such as purchase intention, desire to mimic and attitude towards the influencer, as well as perceived authenticity. The analyses conducted on the relationship between emotional contagion and the influencer-follower relationship, as well as follower behaviors, have revealed an inverse association. The observed variables exhibiting this inverse relationship were attitude towards the influencer and emotional attachment. The findings of this study bring a new psychological perspective and approach to the existing marketing literature while shining light on the implications of emotional contagion on social media and influencer marketing practices. In addition, this study can be used as a guide for businesses who use mom influencers in their social media marketing strategies
Measurement of the Higgs boson mass in the H???ZZ????4? decay channel using 139 fb?1 of s=13 TeV pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Get PDFThe mass of the Higgs boson is measured in the H?ZZ??4? decay channel. The analysis uses proton–proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb?1. The measured value of the Higgs boson mass is 124.99±0.18(stat.)±0.04(syst.) GeV. In final states with muons, this measurement benefits from an improved momentum-scale calibration relative to that adopted in previous publications. The measurement also employs an analytic model that takes into account the invariant-mass resolution of the four-lepton system on a per-event basis and the output of a deep neural network discriminating signal from background events. This measurement is combined with the corresponding measurement using 7 and 8 TeV pp collision data, resulting in a Higgs boson mass of 124.94±0.17(stat.)±0.03(syst.) GeV. © 2023 The Author(s
