Eje temático 2.- Resisting the new-turkey woman’s image: the dissident gaze of Basak Buyukcelen
No full textRESUMEN
Esta investigación analiza la producción cinematográfica y la experiencia personal de la directora de cine turca Basak Buyukcelen, que ha presentado una mirada critica hacia la construcción de la imagen de la mujer en la Nueva Turquía. Aquí el paradigma de referencia esta representado por las imágenes y los discursos oficiales sobre ‘quien es una mujer turca’ y sobre ‘como tiene que ser una mujer turca’ producidos por los lideres políticos del partido AK (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi). Este partido, desde su llegada al poder en el año 2002 ha anunciado la formación de la Nueva Turquía, y a través imágenes, discursos, y practicas sociales ha producido la imagen de la ‘verdadera’ mujer turca. Este paradigma de referencia ha sido criticado por Basak Buyukcelen, que con su producción y proyectos cinematográficos, ha intentado presentar otra imagen de la mujer turca. Su producción de resistencia artística empezó con la película ‘Ikilem’ (Dilema; 2010) y continuo con un proyecto dedicado a la sexualidad femenina. Este proyecto tenia que desarrollarse a través de tres cortos dedicados al la virginidad, la reconstrucción del himen, y la violación. De estos tres cortos Basak produjo en el 2012 ‘Derin nefel al’, y mientras que estaba rodando su segundo corto, uno de los actores principales tuvo miedo de posibles repercusiones políticas y dejo el rodaje. Basak después de un tiempo de depresión se entero que su futuro como artista en la Nueva Turquía se había acabado y se traslado a Canadá donde ahora reside.ABSTRACT
The research focuses on the cinematographic work and personal experience of the Turkish movie director Basak Buyukcelen who, in her movies, has presented a critical gaze on the construction of the woman’s image in the self proclaimed New Turkey. The paradigm of reference is represented by the images and official discourses on ‘who’ and ‘what should be’ a Turkish woman produced by the political leaders of the Justice and Development Party (Turkish: Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, abbreviated AKP in Turkish). Here, this New Turkey Woman’s image is considered as a myth. The AKP, since its arrival to power in 2002 (1) has announced the establishment of New Turkey: and (2) has assembled a new cultural system of reference, has preached, promoted, fabricated, and generated social and normative practices on the nature, essence and identity of the ‘true’ Turkish Woman. These narratives and images (icons) have been spread through official discourses, political rituals, commercial advertisements, TV serials programs news, and movies becoming socially accepted and points of reference. This program, which is in line with the Islamic religion, is antagonist to the principles of secular Turkey. However, to this interpretative paradigm, Basak Buyukcelen, considered until some years ago as a rising star of the Turkish cinema, (1) has opposed her own perceptive and dissident gaze questioning what means to be a Turkish woman nowadays in Turkey; (2) has revindicated and asserted an autonomous woman image, identity, and position deconstructing and challenging the official one entrapped into the AKP rhetoric and social practices; and (3) has showed the effect of this political discourse agenda inside the contemporary Turkish society. Her resistance started with the production of the movi e ‘Ikilem’ (Dilema; 2010), and continued with a project that compromised three short movies dedicated to the woman sexuality inside the New Turkey (virginity; reconstruction of hymen; rape). Unfortunately, Buyukcelen was able to produce only one of the threes shorts she had in mind: ‘Derin nefes al’ (Take a deep breath; 2012). Despite the fact that this short was shown and praised in various international movie festivals, no Turkish movie producer was interested to promote her controversial and nonconformist project. Thus, she raised the money needed for her project through her close friends. However, the turning and traumatic point happened when, while she was shooting her second short which involved the reconstruction of the hymen by a ‘covered’ girl befor e the wedding day, one of the actors, unexpectedly found the script desecrating and afraid of possible political repercussion against him, his family, and his property profession, left the set. Buyukcelen, therefore, was not able to finish the short movies. She realized that her artistic activity was stigmatized, and that her cinematographic life had arrived to an end in New Turkey, then she moved to Canada. The methodology adopted in this presentation is based: on the interviews with the movie director; on Foucault’s discourse on sexuality, power knowledge, clinic politics relation; on the concepts of myth, artivism, habitus, interpellation, and ideology; and draws from the preliminary work of Buyukcelen for the production of her movies
Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
No full textIn 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow
Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
La 'circunstancia' de 'Herederos y Pretendientes
No full textIn June 2010, the Ortega y Gasset Foundation hosted a Conference about the “Spanish Philosophical Transition” in order to debate the book of Francisco Vázquez, La filosofía española. Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó

No full textBased on the spectra obtained with echelle spectrograph SOPHIE (1.93 m telescope, OHP, France) and the selection of lines (Basak & Mishenina, 2012). We have redefined the parameters and have determined the abundances of the elements produced in the process of neutron captures for stars HD 6582, HD19445, HD 84937, HD170153. Obtained abundance of Y, Zr, La, Ce, P, Nd, Sm, and Gd,shows the solar scaled abundance distribution
Gamma-D crystallin gene (CRYGD) mutation causes autosomal dominant congenital cerulean cataracts
No full textCongenital cataracts are a major cause of bilateral visual impairment in childhood. We mapped the gene responsible for autosomal congenital cerulean cataracts to chromosome 2q33-35 in a four generation family of Moroccan descent. The maximum lod score (7.19 at recombination fraction theta=0) was obtained for marker D2S2208 near the g-crystallin gene (CRYG) cluster. Sequencing of the coding regions of the CRYGA, B, C, and D genes showed the presence of a heterozygous C>A transversion in exon 2 of CRYGD that is associated with cataracts in this family. This mutation resulted in a proline to threonine substitution at amino acid 23 of the protein in the first of the four Greek key motifs that characterise this protein. We show that although the x ray crystallography modelling does not indicate any change of the backbone conformation, the mutation affects a region of the Greek key motif that is important for determining the topology of this protein fold. Our data suggest strongly that the proline to threonine substitution may alter the protein folding or decrease the thermodynamic stability or solubility of the protein. Furthermore, this is the first report of a mutation in this gene resulting in autosomal dominant congenital cerulean cataracts

Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
No full textBACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature
