Evidence of Pair Production of Longitudinally Polarised Vector Bosons and Study of Cp Properties in Zz → 4l Events With the Atlas Detector at √s=13 Tev
No full textA study of the polarisation and CP properties in ZZ production is presented. The used data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The ZZ candidate events are reconstructed using two same-flavour opposite-charge electron or muon pairs. The production of two longitudinally polarised Z bosons is measured with a significance of 4.3 standard deviations, and its cross-section is measured in a fiducial phase space to be 2.45 +/- 0.60 fb, consistent with the next-to-leadingorder Standard Model prediction. The inclusive differential cross-section as a function of a CP-sensitive angular observable is also measured. The results are used to constrain anomalous CP-odd neutral triple gauge couplings.ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWFW, Austria; FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; CNPq, Brazil; FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, Canada; NRC, Canada; CFI, Canada; CERN; ANID, Chile; CAS, China; MOST, China; NSFC, China; Minciencias, Colombia; MEYS CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, Denmark; DNSRC, Denmark; IN2P3-CNRS, France; CEA-DRF/IRFU, France; SRNSFG, Georgia; BMBF, Germany; HGF, Germany; MPG, Germany; GSRI, Greece; RGC, China; Hong Kong SAR, China; ISF, Israel; Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT, Japan; JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; NWO, Netherlands; RCN, Norway; MEiN, Poland; FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MESTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS, Slovenia; MIZS, Slovenia; DSI/NRF, South Africa; MICINN, Spain; SRC, Sweden; Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SERI, Switzerland; SNSF, Switzerland; Canton of Bern, Switzerland; Canton of Geneva, Switzerland; MOST, Taiwan; TENMAK, Turkiye; STFC, United Kingdom; DOE, United States of America; NSF, United States of America; BCKDF, Canada; CANARIE, Canada; Compute Canada, Canada; CRC, Canada; PRIMUS, Czech Republic [21/SCI/017]; UNCE, Czech Republic [SCI/013]; COST, European Union; ERC, European Union; ERDF, European Union; Horizon 2020, European Union; Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, European Union; Investissements d'Avenir Labex, France; Investissements d'Avenir Idex, France; ANR, France; DFG, Germany; AvH Foundation, Germany; Herakleitos programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Thales programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Aristeia programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Greek NSRF, Greece; BSF-NSF, Israel; MINERVA, Israel; Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, Norway; NCN, Poland; NAWA, Poland; La Caixa Banking Foundation, Spain; CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya, Spain; PROMETEO Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain; GenT Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain; Goran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden; Royal Society, United Kingdom; Leverhulme Trust, United KingdomWe acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWFW and FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; ANID, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; Minciencias, Colombia; MEYS CR, Czech Republic; DNRF and DNSRC, Denmark; IN2P3-CNRS and CEA-DRF/IRFU, France; SRNSFG, Georgia; BMBF, HGF and MPG, Germany; GSRI, Greece; RGC and Hong Kong SAR, China; ISF and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT and JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; NWO, Netherlands; RCN, Norway; MEiN, Poland; FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MESTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS and MIZS, Slovenia; DSI/NRF, South Africa; MICINN, Spain; SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SERI, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland; MOST, Taiwan; TENMAK, Turkiye; STFC, United Kingdom; DOE and NSF, United States of America.

Expressway To Votes: Infrastructure Projects and Voter Persuasion
No full textThis paper provides causal evidence on how political parties can sway voters at scale in nascent electoral democracies. We collect novel data on expressway construction by the Justice and Development Party in Turkey and use province-by-year variation in construction to show that votes for the Justice and Development Party increased in response to the expressways. The estimates imply that the expressways increased the Justice and Development Party's vote share by 4.8 percentage points-a third of the increase from 2002 to 2011. We provide evidence that the visibility and competence signalled by the expressway expansion, and not increased local economic growth, drove increased vote shares

Causal Effect of Education on Tobacco Use in Low-And Countries
No full textIntroduction The prevalence of smoking is unequally distributed across certain groups. One significant dimension is education inequality, where higher smoking prevalence is generally observed in lower-educated groups. However, studies investigating educational inequality are mostly associative. Meanwhile, studies carrying out a causal investigation focus typically on developed countries. In this study, we consider a panel of low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) to investigate the causal link between education and smoking behavior. Aims and Methods We use detailed micro-level household surveys for 12 LMICs where the duration of compulsory schooling has been extended. By identifying the individuals subject to higher compulsory schooling and using the exogenous variation in education caused by the increase in the duration of compulsory schooling, we estimate the causal impact of education on tobacco consumption. We rely on regression analysis to estimate the effect. Results Our results reveal that those subject to higher years of compulsory schooling have lower smoking-related outcomes, suggesting that higher education significantly lowers tobacco consumption in LMICs. The effect is primarily observed for women, where, for instance, higher compulsory schooling reduces the probability of smoking by 23% and the number of cigarettes smoked by 27%. Conclusions The study's results establish the causal link between education and smoking behavior in LMICs. This significant impact suggests that education policy is still an important tool to help reduce tobacco consumption, especially in settings where the average level of education is not high initially. Moreover, discouraging men from smoking requires other measures to complement education policy. Implications Education might help reduce tobacco consumption. However, studies-primarily for developed countries-find mixed results. This paper investigates the causal role of education on smoking in LMICs. Education reduces tobacco consumption, especially for women. Thus, education policy can be effective in low-education settings. Nonetheless, education policy should be accompanied by other policies to discourage men from smoking
1 Thz ve Ötesi Entegre Devreler için Sypp Tabanlı Pasif Bileşen ve Antenlerin Modellenmesi, Üretimi ve Karakterizasyonu
No full textTerahertz bandı diğer frekans bantlarıyla elde edilemeyen özelliklere sahip elektromanyetik spektrumdur. Terahertz dalgaları, 6G ve sonrası iletişim sistemleri ve yüksek hassasiyetli görüntüleme gibi uygulamalar için yüksek potansiyele sahiptir. Mevcut terahertz sistemlerin henüz istenilen performansı sağlayamadığı, ayrıca 3B yapıları sebebiyle taşınmasının ve entegrasyonunun zor olduğu görülmektedir. Terahertz teknolojisinin uygulanabilir hale gelmesi için kolay taşınır ve entegre edilebilir minyatür sistemlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu durum, geleneksel sistemler yerine, terahertz sistemlerinin terahertz entegre devre olarak geliştirilmesini zorunlu çözüm olarak karşımıza çıkartmaktadır. Terahertz entegre devrelerin geliştirilebilmesi için bu frekanslarda çalışan aktif bileşenlerin yanı sıra bu bileşenlerin entegrasyonunu sağlayacak pasif terahertz bileşenlere de ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Pasif bileşenlerin en temeli terahertz dalga kılavuzları olmakla birlikte, diğer örnekler olarak terahertz dalga kılavuzlarını kullanarak geliştirilen gecikme hatları, faz kaydırıcılar, güç bölücüler ve birleştiriciler sunulabilir. Geleneksel dalga kılavuzlarının terahertz frekanslarında yüksek kayıp ve kaymayla çalıştığı görülmüştür. Araştırmacılar terahertz bandında çalışacak olan yüksek performanslı dalga kılavuzlarını geliştirmek için arayışlara girmişlerdir. Düzlemsel yapılarıyla entegre devreler ile kolaylıkla entegre edilebilecek özelliklere sahip olan Yapay Yüzey Plazmon Polariton (YYPP) dalga kılavuzları yeni nesil terahertz teknolojileri için yüksek potansiyel vaat eden alternatifler arasındadır. YYPP devreler mikrodalga frekanslarında incelense bile terahertz frekanslarında yapılan teorik ve/veya ölçüm sonucu içeren çalışmaların sayısı çok sınırlıdır. Önerilen proje kapsamında yapılacak olan çalışmalar ile, literatürde ilk defa olarak, 1 THz ve ötesi frekanslar için; YYPP dalga kılavuzlarının teorik modellemesi, YYPP dalga kılavuzu optimizasyonu, yüksek performanslı terahertz faz kaydırıcılar, güç bölücü, birleştirici ve bağdaştırıcılar ile terahertz YYPP antenler tasarlanacak, üretilecek ve ölçülecektir. Yapılacak çalışmalarla, 1 THz ve ötesi frekanslar için en temel ihtiyaçlardan olan dalga kılavuzu, pasif bileşen ve anten yapıları geliştirilecek, böylece yüksek performanslı terahertz entegre devrelerin geliştirilmesi mümkün kılınacaktır
Depremde Hasar Gören veya Yıkılan Yapıların Dönüşümüne İlişkin Hukuki Sorunlar
No full textDeprem bölgesinde hasar gören veya yıkılan yapıların bulunduğu taşınmaz maliklerinin karşılaşabileceği yeniden inşa ile ilgili hukuki sorunların ele alındığı makalede, bölgenin hangi koşullarda dönüşüme tabi tutulacağı, hangi düzenlemelerin nasıl uygulanabileceği incelenmiştir. Konuya ilişkin özel düzenlemeler, taşınmaz mülkiyetine ilişkin temel kanunlara nazaran son derece hızlı ve pratik şekilde konut sorununu çözmektedir. Ancak çoğu zaman taşınmaz maliklerinin iradesini dikkate almadan karar alma süreçleri aşılmakta, sistemin işlemediği hallerde acele kamulaştırma tedbirine başvurulmaktadır. Bölgede öncelikli hedef mümkün olan en kısa sürede yaşanabilir güvenli aynı zamanda bölgenin kültür ve ticari yapısına uygun bir kentler oluşturulmasıdır. Ancak, uygulama alanı bulan pek çok düzenleme bu hedefi gerçekleştirmekten uzak olmanın yanısıra özel mülkiyetin de ihlal edilmesi sonucunu doğuracak niteliktedir
Measurement of Electroweak Z(??¯) ?jj Production and Limits on Anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings in Pp Collisions at ?s = 13 Tev With the Atlas Detector
No full textThe electroweak production of Z(??¯) ? in association with two jets is studied in a regime with a photon of high transverse momentum above 150 GeV using proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis uses a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb?1 collected by the ATLAS detector during the 2015–2018 LHC data-taking period. This process is an important probe of the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism in the Standard Model and is sensitive to quartic gauge boson couplings via vector-boson scattering. The fiducial Z(??¯) ?jj cross section for electroweak production is measured to be 0.77?0.30+0.34 fb and is consistent with the Standard Model prediction. Evidence of electroweak Z(??¯) ?jj production is found with an observed significance of 3.2? for the background-only hypothesis, compared with an expected significance of 3.7?. The combination of this result with the previously published ATLAS observation of electroweak Z(??¯) ?jj production yields an observed (expected) signal significance of 6.3? (6.6?). Limits on anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings are obtained in the framework of effective field theory with dimension-8 operators.

Pulmoner Rehabilitasyonda Solunum Egzersizleri Reçeteleme ve Uygulama Prensipler
No full textPulmoner hastalıklar; ventilasyon kısıtlılığı, pulmoner gaz değişim anormallikleri, periferik ve respiratuvar kas disfonksiyonu, kardiyak disfonksiyon, psikososyal komorbiditeler ve motivasyon azlığı nedeniyle egzersiz intoleransına neden olabilmektedir. Kanıta dayalı tıp bağlamında sınırlamalar olmasına rağmen, bronşiyal hijyen teknikleri kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı, kronik bronşit ve bronşektazi hastalarında mukus atılımını arttırmak için endikedir, çünkü bu hastalıklarda mukus birikimi pulmoner fonksiyonlarda azalmaya, mortalite ve morbiditede artmaya neden olur. Kontrollü solunum teknikleri bilinçli ve koopere olan hastada göğüs kafesinin dinamik hiperinflasyonunu azaltmak ve gaz değişimini düzeltmek, respiratuvar kasların kuvvet ve dayanıklılılğını arttırmak, torakoabdominal hareketi optimal duruma getirmek, solunum yükünü dolayısıyla dispneyi azaltmak ve anksiyeteyi baskılamak açısından faydalı olabilmektedir. Solunum kasları fonksiyonlarının bozulması özellikle kronik akciğer hastalıklarında dispneye, egzersiz limitasyonuna ve hiperkapniye katkıda bulunur. Bu nedenle, stabil ve solunum kas kuvveti zayıf olan hastalarda solunum kaslarının kuvvet ve dayanıklılığını arttıran inspiratuvar ve ekspiratuvar kas eğitimi dispneyi, nokturnal desaturasyon zamanını azaltmak, egzersiz kapasitesini ve yaşam kalitesini düzeltmek amacıyla verilebilir.Pulmonary diseases can cause exercise intolerance due to ventilation limitation, pulmonary gas exchange abnormalities, peripheral and respiratory muscles dysfunction, cardiac dysfunction, psychosocial comorbidities, and lack of motivation. Although there are limitations in the context of evidence-based medicine, bronchial hygiene techniques are indicated to increase mucus excretion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, and bronchiectasis because mucus accumulation in these diseases causes decreased pulmonary function and increased mortality and morbidity. Controlled breathing techniques can be beneficial in reducing dynamic hyperinflation of the thorax and improving gas exchange, increasing the strength and endurance of respiratory muscles, optimizing thoracoabdominal movement, reducing respiratory load and thus dyspnea, and suppressing anxiety in conscious and cooperative patients. Impairment of respiratory muscle functions contributes to dyspnea, exercise limitation and hypercapnia, especially in chronic lung diseases. Therefore, inspiratory and expiratory muscle training, which increases the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles, can be given in stable patients with weak respiratory muscle strength to reduce dyspnea, nocturnal desaturation time, and improve exercise capacity and quality of life
Association of Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditis With the Surgical Diseases of the Thyroid Gland
No full textBackground: The incidence of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT), the most common cause of hypothyroidism, has increased rapidly in the last three decades, and it is argued that these cases have a higher risk of being affected by malignant neoplasia. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between CLT and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Materials and Methods:The data sets created by retrospectively screening the data of 780 patients who underwent surgical treatment for thyroid gland diseases in our clinic between 2010 and 2020 were analyzed with the logistic regression analysis, chi-square test or Fisher’s Exact chi-square test using IBM SPSS Statistics 22. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The patients 75.9% of the cases were female and 24.1% were male and it was observed that the risk of CLT in female patients was 2.5 times higher than in male patients, and CLT positivity decreased as patient age increased. The malignant group has a higher rate CLT coexistence and greater thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) values compared to the benign group (4.20±13.03 vs. 2.81±11.75). A lower cytological diagnosis success was observed in association with CLT (35.51% vs. 47.22%). Conclusion: It was observed that the association of CLT and PTC was higher in the presence of high TSH and autoantibodies in young women. The success of aspiration biopsies performed for diagnostic purposes was found to be lower. We consider that patients with CLT should be closely evaluated in terms of malignancy and especially the development of PTC due to the difficulties in the diagnosis and follow-up of these cases, and there is a need to develop new imaging and cytopathological diagnosis methods for these patient
Modernity, Education, and Memory: the Theater Scene in Ankara, the Early Republican Capital, Ctad [modernite, Terbiye Ve Bellek: Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi Başkent Ankara’da Tiyatro Sahnesi]
No full textIn the early years of the Republic, Ankara, as the intellectual and administrative space of Turkish modernization, turned into a laboratory where the futurist ideology was projected, the ideals of the new country and the way of life were positioned, and reforms in all areas of life were realized. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's view that a modern society could be built within the framework of cultural developments, his understanding of utilizing the universality and educational value of art, and visual representations were seen as key elements in strengthening national community ties and transferring the codes of the new memory. Ankara's transformation into a modern capital city marks a process of change/transformation, the integration, and consumption of modern life practices into daily life. The messages/codes contained in activities such as theaters, concerts, and exhibitions, which the leaders of the Republic and the civil servants experienced, modeled, and encouraged for the people of Ankara were expected to spread throughout Anatolia, and the modern Turkish society that would emerge was defined as the only force that would ensure the permanence of the revolution. This article focuses on the theatrical activities followed in the capital between 1923 and 1950 and draws attention to the contribution of the Ankara State Conservatory and Tatbikat Stage to the cultural and artistic environment, as well as the establishment of the State Theater and Opera. It discusses the development of theater activities followed in Ankara, the basis on which they developed, the dynamics and movements of the theater scene, and how they became institutionalized. The relationship of the stage with the city and the urbanite was explored through the publications of the period and the documents of the Ankara Community House, and after the institutionalization of the theater stage, through the Ankara State Conservatory; State Theater’s archive, State Theaters Refik Ahmet Sevengil Theater Library, Koç University Vehbi Koç Ankara Studies Research Center (VEKAM) archival sources, and Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Directorate of State Archives and Turkish Grand National Assembly reports. In the light of the documents identified, a general picture of the theater scene, one of the most important actors of the cultural and artistic environment in the capital Ankara in the Early Republican period, was tried to be created. © 2023, Hacettepe University.
