    The four main points raised by Turki et al. in their letter "Facts to consider when analyzing the references of Nobel Prize scientific background" are discussed. It is argued that while the suggestions of Turki et al. are interesting, most require subjective choices to be made regarding the data analysis. Both in the analysis of author rank, of articles with multiple references, and of citation networks suggested by Turki et al. subjective choices on behalf of the analyzer is required, clouding the raw data obtained from the Nobel Foundation Scientific Background material. Finally, we show that the references specified in the "Further reading" section is already included in the discussed analysis

    No full text
    Abstract In this article, the author seeks to examine the Mediterranean Sea dispute, which has been disputed by Turkey and Greece since tensions between the two sides escalated in August 2020, when Turkey sent a ship to explore the eastern Mediterranean waters claimed by Greece. To examine this issue, the author uses the theory of neorealism proposed by Kenneth Waltz regarding the structure of the international system. Then the author uses a qualitative method, namely, the author tries to describe the discussion descriptively by collecting and analysing various literature related to the dispute that occurred. And for the conclusion, the author tries to answer the existing research questions, namely how the Mediterranean dispute can occur and whether there are successful negotiation efforts to reduce the escalation of this conflict. The author hopes that this paper can contribute especially in security and negotiation issues to create a more conducive world through analysing anarchic international structures so that states will act both to pursue and protect their interests in the context of sovereignty where states maintain their existence.ABSTRAK Pada artikel ini, penulis berusaha mengkaji persengketaan laut Mediterania yang disengketakan oleh Turki dan Yunani sejak ketegangan kedua belah pihak meningkat pada Agustus tahun 2020, di mana pihak Turki mengutus kapal untuk melakukan ekplorasi di Timur perairan Mediterania yang diklaim oleh Yunani. Untuk mengkaji isu ini penulis menggunakan teori neorealisme yang dikemukakan oleh Kenneth Waltz mengenai struktur sistem internasional. Kemudian penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif yakni, penulis berusaha menjabarkan pada pembahasan secara deskriptif dengan mengumpulkan dan menganalisis berbagai literatur yang terkait dengan persengketaan yang terjadi. Dan untuk bagian kesimpulan penulis berusaha menjawab pertanyaan penelitian yang ada yakni bagaimana persengketaan Mediterania dapat terjadi dan apakah ada upaya negosiasi berhasil untuk meredam eskalasi konflik ini?. Penulis berharap agar paper ini dapat memberikan kontribusi terutama dalam persoalan keamanan dan negosiasi untuk menciptakan dunia yang lebih kondusif melalui analisis struktur internasional yang bersifat anarkis sehingga negara akan bertindak baik mengejar maupun melindungi kepentingannya dalam konteks kedaulatan di mana negara mempertahankan keberadaannya.   Kata Kunci: Neorealisme; Mediterania; Turki-Yunan

    Ketahanan Energi Gas Alam Turki Pasca Konstruksi Tanap (Trans-Anatolian Pipeline)

    No full text
    Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang perubahan ketahanan energi Turki setelah TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Pipeline) berhasil dibangun di Turki pada Juni 2018. TANAP merupakan proyek yang dibangun atas kerjasama Turki dan Azerbaijan. Turki merupakan negara dengan kebutuhan energi yang sangat tinggi dan kebutuhan ini meningkat sebanyak 8% per tahunnya. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan energinya, Turki sangat bergantung pada distribusi energi dari Rusia dalam bentuk gas alam. Namun, hubungan yang tidak stabil antara Rusia dan Ukraina membuat distribusi energi dari Rusia sering terhambat dan besarnya ketergatungan Turki terhadap sumber energi Rusia menyebabkan ketahanan energi Turki berada dalam kondisi yang tidak baik. Hal ini kemudian menggerakkan Turki untuk mencari sumber energi alternatif untuk mengatasi ketergantungan energi terhadap Rusia ini. Tesis ini pertama-tama akan menganalisa hubungan interdependensi dalam hubungan energi yang berpotensi bersifat asimetris antara Turki dan Rusia dan implikasi yang ditimbulkan dari hubungan asimetris ini. Setelah itu peneliti akan mengkaji pengaruh TANAP terhadap ketahanan energi gas alam di Turki dan pengaruhnya terhadap perubahan interdependensi antara kedua negara. TANAP ternyata tidak terlalu merubah interdependensi energi Turki terhadap Rusia secara signifikan.Abstract This paper reviews the change of Turkeys energy security after Turkey managed to construct TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Pipeline) at June 2018. TANAP is a project built within cooperation between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Turkey is a country with vast energy needs with average increase of 8% per year. To meet their energy needs, Turkey highly rely on energy from Russias natural-gas. However, fragile relation between Russia and Ukraine caused energy distribution from Russia agitated, and Turkeys high reliance on Russias energy supply causing Turkey in a low energy security state. For this reason, Turkey is looking for alternative energy source to overcome their high reliance on Russias natural gas. This thesis firstly will analyze interdependence relationship in the context of energy between Turkey and Russia that potentially has asymmetric nature and the implication that could arises in that relationship. Afterwards, author will review how TANAP change Turkeys natural-gas security and how it changes interdependency between the two countries. As a result, TANAP does not significantly change Turkey-Russia interdependence

    The Turki-Language Diary of Insha Allah Khan Insha as a Literary Monument

    Introduction. Insha Allah Khan Insha was a key author of Urdu literature at the turn of the nineteenth centuries. His works were multilingual, and the languages he used comprised a local version of literary Turki. Nowadays there is only one surviving manuscript of the poet’s largest Turkic-language work ― The Turki-Language Diary ― housed at the Rampur Raza Library (Rampur, India) and never subjected to any special Turkological research. Goals. So, the paper attempts a comprehensive description of the narrative as a written and literary monument. Results. The article provides a detailed archaeographic description of the manuscript, clarifies somewhat exact dates of the mentioned events, determines a quantitative ratio of India’s languages in the text, and links fragments in different languages to certain thematic blocks. A variety of literary methods proves instrumental in identifying the structure of daily notes, their compositional features, and key content/thematic blocks. Although the manuscript primarily focuses on everyday life and describes conversations with various people, it does contain fragments of poems once heard by the author and those composed by him. The latter’s analysis makes it possible to delineate the reading range of individuals from Insha’s circle, and to clarify some textual aspects of his own works that would be included in his Complete Works (poems). Identifications of the individuals mentioned in the manuscript are as instrumental in determining the poet’s social circle, cast light on his relationship with the patron. The abundance of direct speech patterns helps reconstruct Insha’s perceptions of his contemporaries and close ones, and, to a certain extent, styles of their everyday communication and ranges of their constant interests. The manuscript ― its content and form ― significantly expands our understanding of both Insha Allah Khan Insha proper, and of Turkic-language practices in India throughout the last decades of the Mughal Empire

    Lateral Control of an Unmaned Car Using GNSS Positionning in the Context of Connected Vehicles

    No full text
    AbstractThis paper addresses the problem of path following for unmaned cars using only GNSS positionning. Several papers have already addressed the lane keeping, usually restricting the focus to the computation of the optimal steering wheel angle, therefore usually offering a good solution in either straight lines or curves, but rarely both. Moreover the GNSS receiver have a sampling time higher than the required one for the proposed strategies in the literature. In this paper, a control algorithm is proposed for the steering wheel angle, with adaptation of the speed of the car, in order to provide a solution working both for straight lines and curves by using only GNSS. The presented solution has been used in real conditions to realize the demonstration “speed synchronization at intersections using intervehicular communication, x.icars” shown at the Intelligent Transportation System World Congress in Bordeaux, 201511https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBx6qks8kCI

    AbstractThis study answered a question why Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s administration set a policy against the Kurds in Turkey in 1923-1938 M. To answer these questions, the author delves myriads of written sources using political approaches. The analysis of this study finds that the enactment of policies towards the Kurds in turkey due to the gap ideology and religion were very strong between the Kurds and the Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s administration. That can inhibit the existence of ethnic Kurds, either in the areas of social, economic, religious, cultural or political. This study also finds when a tribe and nation hampered its existence, they would do such riots, either physical (as do the military war, war bombs) or non-physical (such as a demonstration of a written or unwritten through social media, magazines, newspapers, articles, etc.), to people in power. Thus people who mastered feel deep discrimination and consequently the controlled and controlling equally get the loss. ---Abstrak Studi ini menjawab sebuah pertanyaan yaitu mengapa Pemerintahan Mustafa Kemal Ataturk membuat sebuah kebijakan melawan orang-orang Kurdi di Turki pada 1923-1938 M. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini, penulis menganalisis banyak sumber-sumber tertulis menggunakan pendekatan-pendekatan politik. Analisis dari studi ini menemukan bahwa pemberlakuan kebijakan terhadap orang-orang Kurdi di Turki terkait dengan gap ideologi dan agama sangatlah kuat antara orang-orang Kurdi dan Pemerintahan Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Hal ini bisa mengancam eksistensi etnis Kurdi, baik dalam tataran sosial, ekonomi, agama, budaya, maupun politik. Studi ini pun menemukan ketika sebuah suku dan bangsa berada di ujung tanduk, mereka akan melakukan semacam pemberontakan, baik secara fisik (perang militer, perang bom) atau non fisik (demonstrasi tertulis atau tidak tertulis lewat media sosial, majalah-majalah, Koran-koran, artikel-artikel dan lain sebagainya), kepada mereka yang sedang berkuasa. Kemudian, orang-orang yang dikuasainya merasakan adanya diskriminasi yang mendalam dan akibatnya orang yang dikuasai dan yang menguasai sama-sama mendapatkan kerugian.DOI : 10.15408/bat.v23i2.637

    Pharmacogenetics of ophthalmic topical β-blockers

    Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The primary glaucoma risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure. Topical β-blockers are affordable and widely used to lower intraocular pressure. Genetic variability has been postulated to contribute to interpersonal differences in efficacy and safety of topical β-blockers. This review summarizes clinically significant polymorphisms that have been identified in the β-adrenergic receptors (ADRB1, ADRB2 and ADRB3). The implications of polymorphisms in CYP2D6 are also discussed. Although the candidate-gene approach has facilitated significant progress in our understanding of the genetic basis of glaucoma treatment response, most drug responses involve a large number of genes, each containing multiple polymorphisms. Genome-wide association studies may yield a more comprehensive set of polymorphisms associated with glaucoma outcomes. An understanding of the genetic mechanisms associated with variability in individual responses to topical β-blockers may advance individualized treatment at a lower cost

    No full text
    This thesis aims to analyze how PASIAD as a Turkish origin private school can develop well in Indonesia and its role in Turkey-Indonesia relations. Analysis was done through literature studies of books, journal, research report and also interview to gather some data about the school itself. Through these sources, the author argues that PASIAD is the phenomenon of soft power from Turkey. Although it is private organization that is separate program from Turkish government, but it can function as the source of soft power for Turkey, because within its education curriculum there are a lot of Turkish value and culture. Using the concept of soft power currencies, the author found that some education activities of PASIAD serve as soft power currencies that can attract Indonesia public. The public attraction caused by soft power makes this school grow rapidly in Indonesia. The effect of PASIAD contributes in Indonesia and Turkey relations. PASIAD plays role as initiator and contributor in trade, business, infestation, tourism, education, and health aspects. These multi dimensional roles played by PASIAD will cause more dependable relation between Indonesia and Turkey that will preserve long lasting cooperation
