as we call, is a community of fans interested in a specific media context such as
actor, author or TV series. This study is about the developing fandom around
eSports (electronic sports) in Turkey, analyzing game fans interaction with League of
Legends which has become a product of popular culture. To investigate eSports
fandom, this study relies on interviews with professional and amateur players and
virtual ethnographic methods. Findings of the interviews and ethnographic data aim
to ground the similarities between League of Legends players reproducing and code
switching techniques in the light of Anglo American studies on series and movie

Sonlu Elemanlar Analizi Tabanlı Diş, Kaval ve Uyluk Kemiklerinin Ameliyat Öncesi Planlama Uygulamaları
No full textAmeliyat öncesi planlama veya eğitimde, zorlu cerrahi operasyonları kolaylaştırmak için 3D modelleme ve kişiye özgü kemik modeli kullanılabilir. Bu prosedür, 3D baskı ve simülasyonların gelişmesi nedeniyle daha etkili ve uygulanabilir hale geldi. Bunun yanında, sonlu elemanlar analizi (SEA) mekanik analiz sonuçlarına yakınsayarak kemik modellerinin ve çeşitli tıbbi ekipmanların oluşturulmasını daha hızlı ve daha güvenilir hale getirebilir. Fakat, simülasyonların ve mekanik testlerin modeller üzerindeki etkisi hala tartışmalıdır. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada femur başı ve medial malleol olmak üzere iki farklı kırığı içeren analiz 3B baskılı ve yapay kemikler kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bununla beraber ortodontik tedavide ankraj kontrolü için kullanılan minividalar, en verimli uygulama yöntemleri belirlemek için simüle edilmiştir. Çalışma, gerekli tüm farklı araçlar, izlenecek yöntem ve ortaya çıkabilecek sorunlar hakkında önemli ayrıntılara girmektedir. İnteraktif tıbbi görüntüleme kontrol sistem yazılımı kullanılarak, bir hastanın alt karın bölgesinin BT taraması ve başka bir hastanın kafasının DVT taraması 3 boyutlu görüntülere dönüştürüldü. Femur, mandibula ve dişler Mimics kullanılarak bölümlere ayrıldı. Femur modelleri 3B yazıcı kullanılarak üretildi, ayrıca SEA yazılımına aktarıldı. Basma testleri, femurlar üzerinde kırık oluşana kadar uygulandı. Medial malleolus (MM) için kompozit tibia kemikleri üzerine iki farklı plak yerleştirilerek test tekrarlandı. Bunun yanında farklı minivida baş tasarımları ve uzunlukları oluşturulmuş ve farklı yerleştirme senaryoları için mandibula ve kemik bloğu üzerinde simülasyonlar tamamlanmıştır. Basma testi ve simülasyonlar arasındaki korelasyon, stres, gerinim, yer değiştirme ve başarısızlık yükü sonuçlarına göre istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Deneysel analizin ve BT taramasına dayalı SEA'nın, modellerin öngördüğü gibi hem gerilim dağılımları hem de gerinim değerleri için uyumlu olduğunu sonuçlar göstermektedir (R2 =0.99). MM çalışmasında iki plak arasında önemli farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Minivida çalışmasında ise minimum ve maksimum gerilmeler sırasıyla 6 mm ve 10 mm uzunluklarda 18,61 MPa ve 37,11 MPa olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yerleştirme açılarına göre en düşük gerilme 60°'de, en yüksek gerilme -15°'de görülmüştür. Minivida tasarımlarında, braket başı 5,67 MPa ile en düşük von Mises gerilimini oluşturmuştur. Diğer yandan, düğme başı 22,4 MPa ile en yüksek von Mises gerilimine sahipti. Öngörülen süreç akışı ve tüm araçlar, klinik ortamlarda ameliyat öncesi planlama için ve ayrıca biyomedikal mühendisliği alanında bir eğitim aracı olarak kullanılabilir. Buna ek olarak daha uzun minivida kullanımının mandibula üzerindeki stresi arttırdığı belirlendi. Minividanın birincil stabilitesi için düşük gerilim ihtiyacı önemli olduğundan, bu çalışma braket başlı mini vidanın en uygun kafa tasarımı olduğunu göstermiştir
Equity as a vehicle for law reform: The case of unilateral mistake
No full textIn this paper I ask whether English Law should permit rescission for unilateral mistakes in the formation of contract, in circumstances where the defendant (D) knew or should have known about the claimant’s (C) mistake, and if so, should Equity be (re)employed to deploy the remedy. The paper introduces the Caveat Emptor Common Law rule on this issue, which rules out rescission, and the various considerations that count in its favour. I argue that neither considerations from efficiency, nor those based in ethics can justify the current rule, and that new, flexible and morally-sensitive resolution is called for. If we examine the way in which Equity intervenes to reform areas of law where the Common Law fails to provide a satisfactory solution to legal disputes, we will see that the Caveat Emptor rule displays exactly the kind of defects that Equity does a very good job at remedying. The law on the duty to disclose information at the precontractual stage emerges as an excellent example for Equity’s great potential as a vehicle for improving the law in a measured, nuanced and imaginative way.Peer reviewe

No full textOn Fixed Points of Generalized α-φ Contractive Type Mappings in Partial Metric Spaces
No full textRecently, Samet et al. (B. Samet, C. Vetro and P. Vetro, Fixed point theorem for - contractive type mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 75 (2012), 2154--2165) introduced a very interesting new category of contractive type mappings known as - contractive type mappings. The results obtained by Samet et al. generalize the existing fixed point results in the literature, in particular the Banach contraction principle. Further, Karapinar and Samet (E. Karapinar and B. Samet, Generalized --contractive type mappings and related fixed point theorems with applications, Abstract and Applied Analysis 2012 Article ID 793486, 17 pages doi:10.1155/2012/793486) generalized the - contractive type mappings and established some fixed point theorems for this generalized class of contractive mappings. In (G. S. Matthews, Partial metric topology, Ann. New York Acad. Sci. 728 (1994), 183--197), the author introduced and studied the concept of partial metric spaces, and obtained a Banach type fixed point theorem on complete partial metric spaces. In this paper, we establish the fixed point theorems for generalized - contractive mappings in the context of partial metric spaces. As consequences of our main results, we obtain fixed point theorems on partial metric spaces endowed with a partial order and that for cyclic contractive mappings. Our results extend and strengthen various known results. Some examples are also given to show that our generalization from metric spaces to partial metric spaces is real
Harboring illnesses: On the association between disease and living conditions in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon
No full textThis research examined the association between the domestic built environment in a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon, and the presence of illness among household members. Data on the domestic built environment, socio-demographics and health were collected in 860 households. The association between the presence of illness among household members and three environmental indices, namely infrastructure and services, housing conditions, and crowding was evaluated. These indices were based on a number of items that reflected the existing problems in the domestic built environment. The main finding was the positive association between poor housing conditions and the presence of illness among household members. Households with 8-15 housing problems were twice more likely to report the presence of illness than those with less than four housing problems (OR = 2.08, 95percent CI = 1.40-3.11). This research contributes to the understanding of the influence of the built environment on the health of a refugee population. © 2006 Taylor and Francis.*ADM CENTR STAT, 1998, ET STAT COND VIE MEN; Al-Khatib IA, 2003, INT J ENVIRON HEAL R, V13, P315, DOI 10.1080-09603120310001616092; ANNATOUR S, 2004, PALESTINIAN REFUGEES; Dunn JR, 2000, SOC SCI MED, V51, P563, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(99)00496-7; Dunn JR, 2002, J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H, V56, P671, DOI 10.1136-jech.56.9.671; Evans GW, 2002, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V23, P303, DOI 10.1146-annurev.publhealth.23.112001.112349; Evans GW, 2002, J ENVIRON PSYCHOL, V22, P221, DOI 10.1006-jevp.256; *FAFO, 2003, DIFF PAST UNC FUT LI; Farah R, 2000, REPORT PSYCHOL EFFEC; FILFIL M, 1999, HOUSING ENV WOMENS H; GALEA S, 2005, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V26, P1; GIACAMAN R, 1985, PROFILE LIFE HLTH 3; Gray A., 2001, DEFINITIONS CROWDING; Jackson RJ, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1382, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.93.9.1382; Jones AP, 1998, SOC SCI MED, V47, P755, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(98)00151-8; KIFLE A, 2000, WORKSH HOUS URB DEV; Krieger J, 2002, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V92, P758, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.92.5.758; Kumie A, 2002, ETHIOP J HEALTH DEV, V16, P303; Lowry S., 1991, HOUSING HLTH; MAKHOUL J, 2003, ENV URBANIZATION, V15; Myers D, 1996, J AM PLANN ASSOC, V62, P66, DOI 10.1080-01944369608975671; Northridge ME, 2003, J URBAN HEALTH, V80, P556, DOI 10.1093-jurban-jtg064; Perdue WC, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1390, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.93.9.1390; ROUX AD, 2003, J URBAN HEALTH, V80, P539; Rylander R, 2000, ARCH ENVIRON HEALTH, V55, P300; Samet JM, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1489, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.93.9.1489; SIRINIVASAN S, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1446; SPSS, 2003, STAT PACK SOC SCI VE; Takano T, 2001, J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H, V55, P263, DOI 10.1136-jech.55.4.263; Thomson H, 2001, BRIT MED J, V323, P187, DOI 10.1136-bmj.323.7306.187; *UN HABITAT, 2003, SHELT REF WORLD; *UNHCR, 2004, REF NUMB; *US CENS BUR, 2000, CENS 2000 AM HOUS SU; Wolff CG, 2001, BRIT MED J, V322, P1209, DOI 10.1136-bmj.322.7296.1209; World Health Organization, 1992, INT STAT CLASS DIS R; XAVIER R, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P155975
Author Reputation Measurement on Question and Answer Sites by the Classification of Author-Generated Content
No full textIn the field of software engineering, practitioners' share in the constructed knowledge cannot be underestimated and is mostly in the form of grey literature (GL). GL is a valuable resource though it is subjective and lacks an objective quality assurance methodology. In this paper, a quality assessment scheme is proposed for question and answer (Q;A) sites. In particular, we target stack overflow (SO) and stack exchange (SE) sites. We model the problem of author reputation measurement as a classification task on the author-provided answers. The authors' mean, median, and total answer scores are used as inputs for class labeling. State-of-the-art language models (BERT and DistilBERT) with a softmax layer on top are utilized as classifiers and compared to SVM and random baselines. Our best model achieves 63.8% accuracy in binary classification in SO design patterns tag and 71.6% accuracy in SE software engineering category. Superior performance in SE software engineering can be explained by its larger dataset size. In addition to quantitative evaluation, we provide qualitative evidence, which supports that the system's predicted reputation labels match the quality of provided answers
