The rights and well-being of children have been emphasized throughout this evaluation. Following the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş-Hatay on March 6, 2023, a picture of the issues faced by children was captured, along with a list of the rights breaches they had suffered and recommendations for how to handle similar circumstances in the future. It has been investigated how the actions done during the Covid-19 outbreak, a recent major crisis, influenced the lives of children and the actions to be taken in epidemics of a similar nature. Last but not least, the challenges that low-income families’ children experience in exercising their fundamental rights and the growing poverty brought on by the economic
Evaluating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on unemployment, income distribution and poverty in Turkey
Get PDFIn the recent World Economic Outlook, the IMF indicates that world output shrank by 3.5% in 2020. Despite all pessimistic expectations, the Turkish economy was one of the few countries to have a positive, albeit low, economic growth rate in 2020. This was, however, achieved at the expense of high social and economic costs. The present research examines the distributional costs of this economic growth during the pandemic and suggests economic measures required to control them. The empirical examination is based on generating unavailable income and living conditions for 2020 by using the results available in TurkStat’s 2017 Income and Living Conditions Survey. The actual changes in sectoral output and employment, which are available as of March 2021, are used to generate changes in the income levels of households in TurkStat’s 2017 survey. The research empirically shows that adequate fiscal support with a large scope for households and businesses is necessary to compensate for economic losses caused by the pandemic. The short-run working allowance policy appears to have been very important to improve income distribution, which might have deteriorated due to the pandemic. Direct cash support to households is considered another essential policy measure that is required to mitigate the severity of increased poverty
BRINGING VISIBILITY TO THE ORIGINAL SPLENDOUR OF A LOST WONDER OF THE ANCIENT WORLD: THE TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS AT EPHESUS
Get PDFThe visualization work presented here seeks an answer to one of the most persistant problems of our cultural heritage: to make visible the original splendour of the lost Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the world whose glory could not be surpassed in the Classical Age by any other building. Unfortunately, neither the discovery of the temple, which was found after many years of searching, nor the excavations carried out in the following 150 years were enough to completely remove the veil of mystery from this enigmatic temple, and a completely factual and academically accepted reconstruction has not been possible until today. In this article, it has been tried to give an answer to how this world-wonder temple looked. The goal is to recreate the Temple of Artemis in virtual space using tools and methods at the forefront of digital technology.The effort to bring visibility to the temple provides an opportunity to keep this unique work of our cultural heritage alive in our memories and to increase its accessibility and awareness by providing digital access to the structure that is no longer physically accessible. The most attractive and distinctive feature of virtual reality is that it can take the observer out of the spectator position and into the virtual environment. Images of the reconstruction of the Temple of Artemis are presented in the results section of the article

Measurement of the CP properties of Higgs boson interactions with ?-leptons with the ATLAS detector
Get PDFA study of the charge conjugation and parity (CP) properties of the interaction between the Higgs boson and tau -leptons is presented. The study is based on a measurement of CP-sensitive angular observables defined by the visible decay products of t -leptons produced in Higgs boson decays. The analysis uses 139 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Contributions from CP-violating interactions between the Higgs boson and t -leptons are described by a single mixing angle parameter phi(tau) in the generalised Yukawa interaction. Without constraining the H -> tau tau signal strength to its expected value under the Standard Model hypothesis, the mixing angle ft is measured to be 9 degrees +/- 16 degrees, with an expected value of 0 degrees +/- 28 degrees at the 68% confidence level. The pure CPodd hypothesis is disfavoured at a level of 3.4 standard deviations. The results are compatible with the predictions for the Higgs boson in the Standard Model
Yabancı Unsurlu İş Sözleşmelerinde Kamu Düzeni Müdahalesinin ve Doğrudan Uygulanan Kuralların Rolü
No full textTürk iş hukuku genel olarak zayıf tarafı (işçiyi) korumayı amaçlayan bir hukuk dalıdır. Bu nedenle yabancı unsurlu iş sözleşmelerinde, uygulanacak yabancı hukukun Türk hukukundan işçi lehine daha az koruma sağladığı hallerde ciddi bir duraksama meydana gelebilmektedir. Bu tür durumları ele alan bazı mahkeme kararlarında Türk hukukundaki daha yüksek koruma sağlayan hükmün ya kamu düzeni müdahalesi yöntemiyle ya da doğrudan uygulanan kural olarak nitelendirilerek uyuşmazlığa tatbik edildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Öğreti de bu duruma duyarsız kalmamış ve birçok yazarca Türk hukukundaki hangi kuralların bahsedilen yöntemler vasıtasıyla tatbik edilmesi gerektiği tartışılmıştır. Bunun neticesinde de birçok fikir ayrılığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bahsi geçen tartışmalar özellikle 1992 tarihli ve Libya Kararı olarak anılan bir Yargıtay kararından beri devam etmektedir. Karardan beri ortaya atılan görüş yelpazesi genişlediği gibi Yargıtay uygulamasında da değişiklikler olmuştur. Bu çalışmada öncelikle kamu düzeni ve doğrudan uygulanan kurallar kavramları açıklanmıştır. Kamu düzeni farklı anlam ve işlevlere sahip olabilse de çalışmada kanunlar ihtilafı hukukunda ifade ettiği anlam esas alınmıştır. Daha sonra ise yukarıda bahsedilen öğreti görüşleri ve mahkeme kararları değerlendirilmiştir. En son kısımdaysa kendi görüşümüz paylaşılmıştır
Search for CP violating top quark couplings in pp collisions at ?s=13 TeV
Get PDFResults are presented from a search for CP violation in top quark pair production, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The data used for this analysis consist of final states with two charged leptons collected by the CMS experiment, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The search uses two observables, O-1 and O-3, which are Lorentz scalars. The observable O-1 is constructed from the four-momenta of the charged leptons and the reconstructed top quarks, while O-3 consists of the four-momenta of the charged leptons and the b quarks originating from the top quarks. Asymmetries in these observables are sensitive to CP violation, and their measurement is used to determine the chromoelectric dipole moment of the top quark. The results are consistent with the expectation from the standard model
Analysis of PEM and AEM electrolysis by neural network pattern recognition, association rule mining and LIME
Get PDFIn this work, as an extension of previous machine learning studies, three novel techniques, namely local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME), neural network pattern recognition and association rule mining (ARM) were utilized for proton exchange membrane (PEM) and anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer database for hydrogen production. The main goal of LIME was to determine the positive or negative effects of a variety of descriptor variables on current density, power density and polarization. Using this technique, it was possible to uncover rules or paths that lead to high current density, low power density and low polarization. ARM provided the dominant rules leading to high current density such as using ELAT as the cathode gas diffusion layer, using pure Pt on the cathode surface and using pure carbon as the cathode support. In addition, LIME and neural network pattern recognition successfully uncovered the importance of catalytic materials such as cathode/anode support/surface elements, operational variables like K 2 CO 3 or KOH concentration in the electrolyte, certain membrane types, gas diffusion layers, and applied potential on current density. It was then concluded that machine learning can help determine the ideal conditions for developing a PEM and AEM electrolyzer to maximize hydrogen generation, which can also guide future research
Radicalisation in competitive authoritarian contexts: visualising refugees with DIY media
No full textThis article focuses on how visual media interacts with the government practices in competitive authoritarian regimes. We argue that while the visual representation of refugees can in general mainstream radicalisation, it gains additional traction in authoritarian context as it streams political discontent away from the governments to 'ungrateful' refugees. The paper is built on an analysis of do-it-yourself (DIY) videos in Turkey and Hungary in relation to two specific events involving refugees. The extant research mostly looks into online activism via DIY media. However, we approach them from an opposite perspective and show that not only social movements, but also states benefit from the audience-making potential of DIY media insomuch as these videos appear less as government propaganda and more as representative of public opinion.Horizon 2020 Framework Programme [959198]This work was supported by Horizon 2020 Framework Programme [Project No.959198, De-radicalisation in Europe and]
Dogs Feared and Dogs Loved: Human-Dog Relations in the Late Ottoman Empire
No full textThe current study investigates human-animal relations with a specific focus on the case of dogs in the late Ottoman Empire. It contextualizes the new type of animal -human relations against the backdrop of the Ottoman modernization efforts, which took the form of institutional, legal, political and social reforms, and relates the adoption of dogs as pet (companion) animals to the global trends of keeping pets in Western Europe. In so doing, it scrutinizes the various religious, medical and profes-sional perspectives concerning dogs and the human world in the late Ottoman Empire; the purchase and transfer of breed dogs from Europe and the middle classes' responses to this new form of relationship; and finally, the dissemination of pet-keeping culture and practices among Ottoman upper and middle classes
