Mackintosh'un Mavi Bilet Romani: Ataerkil Söylemde Hapsolmuş “vahşi” Kadinlar
No full textBritanyalı yazar Sophie Mackintosh Mavi Bilet (2020) başlıklı distopik romanında kendilerine biçilmiş roller içinde sıkışıp kalmış kadınların özgürlük arayışlarını anlatır. Mackintosh'un kadınlara dayatılan yasaya karşı gelerek hamile kalan ana karakteri Calla, bastırdığı annelik arzusunun peşinden gider ve bu uğurda ziksel, sosyolojik ve psikolojik bir dönüşüm geçirir. Yazarın insan bedeninin sınırlarını zorlayan Calla tasviri Clarissa P. Estés'in Kurtlarla Koşan Kadınlar (1992) eserindeki “vahşi kadın” arketipini örnekler. Ancak, bu örnekleme Estés'in bahsettiği ve yaratıcılıkla eşleştirdiği olumlu bir dişil enerjiyi yansıtmaz. Aksine, karnı büyüdükçe daha da toplum dışına itilen Calla romanın sonuna doğru yabani bir hayvana, bir ucubeye dönüşerek, ataerkil imgelemdeki korkunç anne tasvirlerini pekiştirir. Bu bağlamda, Mackintosh'un annelik, öteki kadın bedeni, cinsiyet rolleri gibi konuları sorgulamaya niyetlenen romanı Antik Yunan'dan günümüze süregelen, kadını doğayla ve ilkellikle ilişkilendiren özcü yaklaşımın kıskacından kurtulamaz ve kadının başkaldırısıyla gelen değişimi karanlık, medeniyet dışı ve korkutucu bir mekânda, hayvani imgelerle kurgular. Calla sistemin uçlarında, ormanın karanlığında “uluyarak” kendini yeniden yaratan yabanıl ve hayvansı, yani şeytani olarak görülen kadın “öteki”nin bir temsiline dönüşür. Hamilelikle birlikte ontolojik sınırları geçen ve gittikçe vahşileşen bu kadın Estés'in eski anlatılar yoluyla keşfettiği yaratıcı dişil gücü, tekinsiz ve korkutucu bir güce indirger. Bu bağlamda, bu makale Mackintosh'un yarattığı karakterleri arketipçi eleştiri ışığında inceleyecek ve vahşi doğayı kadınla eş tutarak, her ikisini de insan medeniyetinin dışına yerleştiren yazarın aslında oldukça ataerkil olan söylemini ortaya koyacaktır
Dual Ophthalmic Arteries: a New Case
No full textWe report one retinoblastoma patient with dual ophthalmic arteries (also known as double ophthalmic arteries) arising from the internal carotid artery which fuse with each other inside the orbit. The caudal ophthalmic artery with larger caliber originated from the cavernous segment of internal carotid artery and passed through the superior orbital fissure. The cranial and tiny one arose more cranially from the supraclinoid internal carotid artery and passed through the optic canal. After superselective catheterization, frank anastomosis was shown between two ophthalmic arteries and the central retinal artery arose from the cranial one. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first observation of a dual ophthalmic artery with cavernous/supracavernous origins fusing with each other proven by superselective ophthalmic angiography. Whether there is an anastomosis between two ophthalmic arteries is important for deciding which artery to be selected for intraarterial treatment. In cases of retinoblastoma, detailed angiographic analysis may be essential to examine the orbital arterial system and to avoid unexpected complications during intraarterial chemotherapy

Eric: an Efficient and Practical Software Obfuscation Framework
No full text52nd Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN) -- JUN 27-30, 2022 -- Baltimore, MDModern cloud computing systems distribute software executables over a network to keep the software sources, which are typically compiled in a security-critical cluster, secret. However, these executables are still vulnerable to reverse engineering techniques that can extract secret information from programs (e.g., an algorithm, cryptographic keys), violating the IP rights and potentially exposing the trade secrets of the software developer. Malicious parties can (i) statically analyze the disassembly of the executable (static analysis) or (ii) dynamically analyze the software by executing it on a controlled device and observe performance counter values or exploit side-channels to reverse engineer software (dynamic analysis). We develop ERIC, a new, efficient, and general software obfuscation framework. ERIC protects software against (i) static analysis, by making only an encrypted version of software executables available to the human eye, no matter how the software is distributed, and (ii) dynamic analysis, by guaranteeing that an encrypted executable can only be correctly decrypted and executed by a single authenticated device. ERIC comprises key hardware and software components to provide efficient software obfuscation support: (i) a hardware decryption engine (HDE) enables efficient decryption of encrypted hardware in the target device, (ii) the compiler can seamlessly encrypt software executables given only a unique device identifier. Both the hardware and software components are ISA-independent, making ERIC general. The key idea of ERIC is to use physical unclonable functions (PUFs), unique device identifiers, as secret keys in encrypting software executables. Malicious parties that cannot access the PUF in the target device cannot perform static or dynamic analyses on the encrypted binary. We develop ERIC's prototype on an FPGA to evaluate it endto-end. Our prototype extends RISC-V Rocket Chip with the hardware decryption engine (HDE) to minimize the overheads of software decryption. We augment the custom LLVM-based compiler to enable partial/full encryption of RISC-V executables. The HDE incurs minor FPGA resource overheads, it requires 2.63% more LUTs and 3.83% more flip-flops compared to the Rocket Chip baseline. LLVM-based software encryption increases compile time by 15.22% and the executable size by 1.59%.

Messi Vs. Massi, Prior Right Vs. Reputation: the Decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union and Its Assessment With Regard To the Turkish Trademark Law
No full textThe Messi case,1 which originated with the decision of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in 2011 and was finalized in 2020, surprised the IP world/practitioners with the remarks of the first instance court and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) as their findings were contrary to the established case law regarding the implementation of the relative grounds of refusal. Lionel Messi was a party to the court case as the applicant of the later application for the same classes of goods; the first instance court overruled the appeal of the owner of the earlier trademark based on relative grounds, given Lionel Messi's reputation as a famous football player and thus the reputation of his surname 'Messi', even though the two trademarks were considered visually and phonetically similar. It was reiterated in the court decision that the reputation of the owner of the later trademark application neutralized the likelihood of confusion with the earlier trademark. Moreover, the judgment (dated 17 September 2020) of the Tenth Chamber of the CJEU went beyond the ordinary scope of trademark law. In this study we will discuss, in the context of the Messi decision, the influence of the reputation of a later trademark on conceptual differentiation and the possible results of not adducing evidence proving the reputation of a trademark. © 2021 Published by OUP and CH Beck on behalf of GRUR e.V.

Investigation of the Collaboration and Communication Parameters of Bim Ecosystem
No full textIn building production, architects, civil engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers work together to produce a common denominator. While the activities in the field of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction can be discussed within themselves, the "Building" is located at the intersection of these disciplines. Discipline-specific models and methods are not enough to explain and manage this intersection area. Nowadays we have to produce within intersection areas. This has made it a priority for different disciplines to come together. "Transdisciplinary approach" handles a problem that concerns more than one area by focusing on the problem and taking the process within a whole system without fixed boundaries between disciplines. The way different disciplines come together requires new ways of production and problem-solving tools. These new productions and tools are problem-specific without boundaries and non-use for other problems. This approach means that experts from different disciplines make innovative, transdisciplinary productions at the center of the problem. It is suggested that BIM (Building Information Modelling), which forms a basis for bringing the productions together from different disciplines, is a transdisciplinary form of cooperation and production. BIM is a process that enables coordination, communication, and cooperation of all actors from idea to demolition. It enables the creation of a shared data model. These models can also contain information related to the build's life cycle and its expected maintenance requirements. (3D) Modeling programs are Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft ArchiCAD, Rhino- Grasshopper, etc. Information such as time planning (4D), cost estimates (5D), sustainability (6D), management (7D) brings additional dimensions to BIM models. The data models are fixed and limited. The digital platform of BIM is limited with the application of semantic and geometric information. BIM, however, is not limited to the digital environment. It is an ecosystem extended to the digital world. In this respect, its capability for creative collaboration in real-world conditions needs to be explored. By addressing this discovery on the transdisciplinary project, we can capture new perspectives and these new perspectives can enable development in real-world conditions. "Fog catcher" is a transdisciplinary design and build project. The main objective is to harvest water vapor/moisture in the air. It requires knowledge and expertise in material science, structure, climate, architecture, fluid dynamics, machine learning, which are considered to be processed in a BIM environment. The study presents the theoretical model for the investigation of the parameters and dynamics of creative communication among the experts of the project within the BIM ecosystem through the case of "Fog catcher"
An Online Magnetic Resonance Imaging Approach Using Augmented Reality Visualizations for Introducing Students To Their "silent Teachers"
No full textThe initial interaction between medical students and their "Silent Teacher" in the dissection lab is an important experience in the process of establishing a professional ethos. However, COVID19 complicated this process and the optimal approach to achieve this introduction remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to develop an online case-based approach as the basis for donor introduction to medical students based on Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports. MRI scans of 16 body donors were assessed by a radiologist and observations were uploaded to a web-based DICOM viewer (www.rad3d.com). A list of learning objectives were generated for each donor and radiology reports were constructed based on: chief complaints, medical history, radiology and pathology that were reviewed prior to the class. Within the lab and following COVID19 restriction policy, students read through the radiology reports and viewed the augmented reality (AR) visualizations of the MRI scans using z-space computers providing additional dissection team interactions. Finally, surface anatomy exercises were undertaken that corresponded to the primary pathology providing a direct interaction with the donor. This process included Sketchfab and other links to underscore anatomical correlations (Figure 1). A survey was conducted to assess student perceptions of the experience. The study design comprised a voluntary survey tool to assess student level of anxiety and whether the online approach was effective. Response scales were either bimodal or Likert-base (5 scale) and analyzed with Fisher's exact test. Follow up open ended questions were also presented to the students. The response rate was 33/80 (41.25%). Most students (82.7%) felt anxious first, but the anxiety decreased in time (60.7%). They mostly accomplished the tasks (surface exercises 97%; reviewing MRIs 87.9%) and found surface exercises useful in terms of reducing anxiety (90.6%), and initiating team work (100%). A total of 79.3% of the students found MR useful for learning radiology (Table 1). More than half of the students (55.6%) indicated that the first encounter was not as they expected and stated that they thought it would be more intimidating. Several emotions were indicated such as: confused, uncomfortable, somber, excited, grateful, thankful, professional. They all agreed that using a case based approach as an introductory laboratory prior to first dissection is useful. There was one prominent suggestion almost all students stated: video resources prior to the lab. Results suggest that humanizing the donor, implementing clinical reasoning, and initiating teamwork provided a positive first lab experience using online resources. Future work will be aimed at further development of online resources organized around clinical presentation using MR scans. © FASEB
