    Like our podcast, B-Side Books focuses on those moments when books topple off their shelves, open up, and start bellowing at you. The one that buttonholed Merve Emre (Oxford literature professor and author most recently of The Personality Brokers) was a novella by the luminous midcentury Italian pessimist, Natalia Ginzburg. And if you think you know precisely why a mid-century Italian writer would have a dark and bitter view of the world (already thinking of the Nazi shadows in work by Italo Calvino, Primo Levi and Giorgio Bassani) Ginzburg's The Dry Heart will have you thinking again. Merve started her piece by asking that age-old question: "When should a woman kill her husband?

    Yunus Emre Divan's Cairo Manuscript on poetry with “Şimden Girü” redif

    No full text
    Yunus Emre Divanı’nın bilinen 40 kadar yazması vardır. Bu yazmalara kimi zaman yenileri de eklenmektedir. Bununla birlikte varlığı uzun süredir bilinip üzerinde çalışma yapılmamış yazmalar da vardır. Kahire yazması bunlardan biridir. Bu yazıda Yunus Emre Divanı’nın Kahire yazması hakkında kısa bir bilgi verilecek ve yazmadaki “şimden girü” redifli şiir aktarılıp bir dilbilgisel yapı üzerinde durulacaktır. Kahire yazmasındaki “şimden girü” redifli şiir, yazmanın 7a-b yaprağında bulunmaktadır. Bu şiir Fatih yazmasında yoktur, Mustafa Tatcı’ya (1990) göre bu şiir Nuruosmaniye yazmasında bulunmaktadır. İncelemeye aldığımız metinde “-sA gerek şimden girü” yapısı birinci beyitte iki ve diğer beyitlerde birer kez olmak üzere toplamda 10 kez geçmektedir. Bu beyitlere bakıldığında “-sA gerek şimden girü” yapısının beyitlere kiplik anlamları (ayrıntılı bilgi ve karşılaştırma için bk. Sema Aslan Demir, 2008; Yeter Torun, 2013; Duygu Kamacı Gencer, 2020; Talat Dinar, 2020) kattığı açıkça görülmektedir. Birinci beytin ilk dizesinde ihtimal, ikinci dizesinde istek, ikinci beyitte istek, üçüncü beyitte çıkarım, dört ve beşinci beyitlerde gereklilik, altı ve yedinci beyitlerde güçlü gereklilik, sekizinci beyitte gereklilik ve son beyitte ise zorunluluk kiplik anlamları tespit edilmiştir. Gülsevin, yayınında “-sA gerek” yapısının sanılanın aksine daha çok gelecek zaman bildirdiğini ve kiplik olarak gereklilik anlamı taşıdığından bahsetmişti. Bizim tespitlerimize göre “-sA gerek şimden girü” yapısı bir birleşik kiplik işaretleyicisi olarak eylem kipliği altında yükümlülük kipliğinde; zorunluluk, gereklilik ve güçlü gereklilik bildirirken içedim kipliğinde; istek bildirmektedir. Ayrıca bir örnekte önerme kipliği altında bilgi kipliğinde; çıkarım tespit edilmiştir.There are about 40 known Yunus Emre Divans. Sometimes new ones are added to these manuscripts. However, there are also manuscripts whose existence has not been studied for a long time. The Cairo manuscript is one of them. In this article, brief information will be given about the Cairo manuscript of Yunus Emre's Divan. The poem with “şimden girü" redif in the manuscript will be transferred and a grammatical structure will be emphasized. The poem with redif "from now on giru" in the Cairo manuscript is found on pages 7a-b of the manuscript. This poem is not in the Fatih manuscript, According to Tatcı (1990: 291), this poem is in the Nuruosmaniye manuscript. In the text we have examined, the structure “-sA gerek şimden girü” is used twice in the first couplet and once in the other couplets, a total of 10 times. When these couplets are looked at, it is clearly seen that the structure of “-sA gerek şimden girü” adds modality meanings to the couplets (for detailed information and comparison, see Aslan Demir, 2008; Torun, 2013; Gencer Kamacı, 2020; Dinar, 2020). The modal meanings of possibility in the first line of the first couplet, desire in the second line, request in the second couplet, inference in the third couplet, necessity in In his publication, Gülsevin mentioned that the “-sA gerek” structure, contrary to popular belief, indicates more future tenses and has a meaning of necessity as a modality.the fourth and fifth couplets, strong necessity in the sixth and seventh couplets, necessity in the eighth couplet and imperative in the last couplet have been determined. According to our determinations, the structure göre “-sA gerek şimden girü” is under the verb modality as a compound modality marker, in the obligation modal; expresses necessity, necessity, and strong necessity. In dynamic mode, it reports a request.Also, in an example, in the information modality under the propositional modality; inference has been found

    Detecting pathogens and mounting immune responses upon infection is crucial for animal health. However, these responses come at a high metabolic price (McKean and Lazzaro, 2011, Kominsky et al., 2010), and avoiding pathogens before infection may be advantageous. The bacterial endotoxins lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are important immune system infection cues (Abbas et al., 2014), but it remains unknown whether animals possess sensory mechanisms to detect them prior to infection. Here we show that Drosophila melanogaster display strong aversive responses to LPS and that gustatory neurons expressing Gr66a bitter receptors mediate avoidance of LPS in feeding and egg laying assays. We found the expression of the chemosensory cation channel dTRPA1 in these cells to be necessary and sufficient for LPS avoidance. Furthermore, LPS stimulates Drosophila neurons in a TRPA1-dependent manner and activates exogenous dTRPA1 channels in human cells. Our findings demonstrate that flies detect bacterial endotoxins via a gustatory pathway through TRPA1 activation as conserved molecular mechanism.sponsorship: Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie Alessia Soldano Luis Franco Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Bassem A Hassanr Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0702.12 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0077.15 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0680.10 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0681.10 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0503.12 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0654.15 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0761.10N Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0596.12 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0565.07 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar KU Leuven GOA/14/011 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar European Commission IUAP P7/13 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekensr KU Leuven OT/12/091 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar KU Leuven PF-TRPLe Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talavera (Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0702.12, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0077.15, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0680.10, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0681.10, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0503.12, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0654.15, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0761.10N, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0596.12, KU Leuven|GOA/14/011, KU Leuven|OT/12/091, European Commission|IUAP P7/13, KU Leuven PF-TRPLe)status: Publishe

    No full text
    In this paper, the author determines the most suitable transportation location for intervention in a large scale disaster in the Republic of Bulgaria, by means of the Weber Problem and the Weiszfeld method. The objective is to minimise the cost of transporting emergency supplies across the country by locating a support facility, and thus reaching the area of event at the lowest possible cost. A brief description of the Weiszfeld method is provided in the paper. Further, using recent population data of both provinces and municipalities, the method is applied respectively to obtain the results. They were compared in terms of spatial correspondence and the final facility location was fixed. Erecting the supply site is recommended to help decrease the losses

    Comparing clusterings and numbers of clusters by aggregation of calibrated clustering validity indexes

    Akhanli, Serhat Emre/0000-0001-7173-3277WOS: 000543319300001A key issue in cluster analysis is the choice of an appropriate clustering method and the determination of the best number of clusters. Different clusterings are optimal on the same data set according to different criteria, and the choice of such criteria depends on the context and aim of clustering. Therefore, researchers need to consider what data analytic characteristics the clusters they are aiming at are supposed to have, among others within-cluster homogeneity, between-clusters separation, and stability. Here, a set of internal clustering validity indexes measuring different aspects of clustering quality is proposed, including some indexes from the literature. Users can choose the indexes that are relevant in the application at hand. In order to measure the overall quality of a clustering (for comparing clusterings from different methods and/or different numbers of clusters), the index values are calibrated for aggregation. Calibration is relative to a set of random clusterings on the same data. Two specific aggregated indexes are proposed and compared with existing indexes on simulated and real data.EPSRCEngineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) [EP/K033972/1]The work of the second author was supported by EPSRC grant EP/K033972/1

    Nezihe Araz'ın Dertli Dolap ve Jacques Lacarrıere'in Dünyanın Tozu romanlarında kahramanın yolculuğu: "Yunus Emre"

    No full text
    Yunus Emre, Türk toplumu için derin bir bilgelik kaynağıdır. Onun, toplumu yüksek değerlere ulaştırmak için, yüzyıllar öncesinden yaktığı aydınlanma ışığı, bugün hâlâ dünyayı aydınlatmaya devam etmektedir. Jacques Lacarrière'in (1925-2005) Dünya'nın Tozu (1999) (La Poussière du Monde) (1997) romanında kahraman "Yunus Emre"'dir. Bir Fransız yazar olan Lacarrière "Yunus Emre"'yle ilgili menkıbeleri öğrendikten sonra "Yunus Emre"'yi kahraman yaptığı bir roman kurgular. Bu romanda yazarın sadece duydukları üzerinden bir kurgu oluşturmadığını görürüz. Yazar aynı zamanda "Yunus Emre"'yi kendi kültür çerçevesinden anlamaya da çalışan sorular sorar. Diğer yandan çocukluğundan beri duyduğu "Yunus Emre" dizeleri ve menkıbelerinin etkisinde olan Türk yazar Nezihe Araz, (1920-2009) Dertli Dolap (1961) romanını çocukluğundan bugüne kalbinde yetiştirdiği bir kahraman olan "Yunus Emre"'nin yaşamı üzerine kurgular. "Yunus Emre"'nin tekâmül yolculuğunu onun dizeleri üzerinden ilerleyen bir kurguyla aktarır. Bu iki romanı ortak noktada buluşturan kahraman "Yunus Emre", insanın kendi özüne yaptığı yolculuğun en önemli temsilcilerinden birisidir. Öze yolculuk, Carl Gustav Jung'a (1875-1961) göre, arketipler aracılığıyla aktarılan bireyleşmenin başka bir ifade biçimidir. Jung'un bu görüşünden yola çıkan Joseph Campbell, yolculuğu ve bireyleşmeyi kahramanın geçirdiği yolculuk aşamaları bağlamında anlamayı ve açıklamayı önerir ve bu süreci "kahramanın sonsuz yolculuğu " olarak adlandırır. Çalışmamızda, Joseph Campbell'in bu modeli çerçevesinde, farklı iki kültüre ait iki yazarın romanlarında ortak kahraman olan "Yunus Emre"nin, kahramanın yolculuğuna ne ölçüde uyum sağladığının ve iki yazardaki "Yunus Emre" algısının farklılığının tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır."Yunus Emre" is a deep source of wisdom for Turkish society. The light of enlightenment that he lit centuries ago in order to bring the society to high values still continues to illuminate the world today. In Jacques Lacarrière's novel La Poussière du Monde, the hero is "Yunus Emre. After learning the legends about Yunus Emre, Lacarrière, a French writer, constructs a novel in which he makes Yunus Emre a hero. In this novel, we see that the author does not create a fiction based on only what he hears. The author also asks questions that try to understand Yunus Emre from his own cultural framework. On the other hand, Turkish writer Nezihe Araz, who has been influenced by Yunus Emre verses and legends that she has heard since her childhood, constructs her novel Dertli Dolap on the life of Yunus Emre, a hero whom he raised in her heart from her childhood. She conveys Yunus Emre's journey of evolution with a fiction that proceeds through his verses. Yunus Emre is the hero who brings together these two novels at a common point and he is also one of the most important representatives of the journey which a person makes to his\her own essence. According to Carl Gustav Jung , (1875-1961) journey to the essence is another expression way of individualism which is transmitted through archetypes. Based on this view of Jung, Joseph Campbell, offers to understand and express the journey and individualism with in the context of the journey's periods which the hero has experienced and he names this process as "the hero's endless journey". The aim of our study is to determine to what extent "Yunus Emre", who is the comman hero of the two novels by two novelists from different cultures , adapts to hero's journey and to identify the differences between the "Yunus Emre" perceptions of the two novelists within the framework of Joseph Campbell's this model.

    Performance of the Whale Optimization Algorithm in Space Steel Frame Optimization Problems

    No full text
    International Conference on Harmony Search, Soft Computing and Applications (6. : 2020 : Istanbul, Turkey)Frame optimization that contains highly non-linear and irregular functions and discrete design variables is one of the most challenging optimization problems. Therefore, gradient-based optimization techniques cannot be successful in such problems. Metaheuristic techniques, especially population-based metaheuristic techniques, perform highly effective in solving the frame optimization problem. However, stochastic processes’ performances included in metaheuristic techniques vary based on the problem. Accordingly, researches on the performance of novel metaheuristic techniques on challenging engineering problems continue. One of the novel metaheuristic techniques is the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) which is inspired by the bubble-net feeding behavior of humpback whales. The aim of this study is testing the performance of WOA for space steel frame optimization problems. For this purpose, WOA-cased frame optimization program will be developed. Benchmark frame structures are selected to compare optimum solutions with literature results. © 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.No sponso
