    The revolution and the civil war in Soviet author E. Isaak Babel's "Konarmia" stories

    No full text
    Bu makalede Yahudi bir Sovyet yazarı olan İsaak E. Babel’in öyküleri üzerinde durduk. Yazar “İç Savaş” sırasında hem askerlik hem de gazetecilik yapar, “Konarmiya Öyküleri” de bu yıllarda ki gözlemlerinden oluşur. Biz de bu makalede “İç Savaş ve Devrim” üzerinde duracağız. I. Dünya Savaşı henüz bitmeden başlayan “İç Savaş ve Devrim” Rusya’yı ve Rus insanını derinden etkilemiştir. Yoksulluk, savaşmaktan doğan fiziksel ve ruhsal yorgunluk, malzeme eksikliği ve kötü hava şartlarının sebep olduğu insan trajedileri bu öykülerde açıkça gösterilir. Bu nedenle çalışmamızda “Konarmiya Öyküleri”nde anlatılan bu kötü şartların insanları ve yaşamlarını nasıl etkilediğini göstermeyi amaçladık.In this essay it is mentioned that a Jewish Soviet author E. Isaak Babel. He was a correspondent and a soldier during the Civil War period, and his “Konarmiya” stories were based on his fighting observations. So we stand on the theme; “Revolution and the Civil War” in those stories. Revolution and the Civil War, which started just after the First World War, affected Russia and the Russian people deeply. Poverty, physical and mental exhaustion from fighting, lack of material and bad weather conditions caused human tragedy and they were showed clearly in those storties; For this reason, in this study, we want to show how this bad conditions, which are explained in “Konarmiya”, affected people and their lives in that period

    Digitizing Africal local content : The way forward

    No full text
    This paper sought to expound on how the African local content can be preserved and transmitted to the larger world via a successful digitization process by providing answers to four major questions as follows: What is local content? Why do we need to digitize our local content? How do we digitize local content? And how do the digitized local content help in preserving and transmitting African literary and cultural heritage to the world at large? Furthermore, recent initiatives at digitizing and transmitting local content were highlighted while constraints to digitizing and transmitting African local content were also identified. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations on how Nigeria can join the rest of Africa in improving and promoting our local content in the Global Information Infrastructure (GII), which is seen presently to be minimal

    Preliminary Studies on Antimicrobial Activity of Extracts from Aloe Vera Leaf, Citrus Hystrix Leaf, Zingiber Officinale and Sabah Snake Grass Against Bacillus Subtilis

    Link to publisher's homepage at https://www.matec-conferences.org/Herbal plants have several potential antimicrobial activities either as antifungal or antibacterial to fight against the disease and pathogen that attack the plants. The extractions of the Aloe vera leaf, Citrus hystrix leaf, Zingiber officinale rhizome and Sabah snake grass were selected in this study to fight against Bacillus subtilis. B. subtilis is a Gram-positive bacterium, rodshaped and catalase-positive that lives on decayed organic material. It is known as Gram-positive bacteria because of its thick peptidoglycan and would appear purple when subjected to Gram test. This species is commonly found in the upper layers of the soil, in meat or vegetables, in pastry, cooked meat, in bread or poultry products. The extracts of Sabah Snake Grass found to be most effective than A.vera leaf, Z. officinale, and C. hystrix against the B. subtilis

    Measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B0 -> J/ψ KS0 decays

    No full text
    This Letter reports a measurement of the CP violation observables SJ/ψK0S and CJ/ψK0S in the decay channel B0→J/ψK0S performed with 1.0 fb−1 of pp collisions at s√=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. The fit to the data yields SJ/ψK0S=0.73±0.07(stat)±0.04(syst) and CJ/ψK0S=0.03±0.09(stat)±0.01(syst). Both values are consistent with the current world averages and within expectations from the Standard Model

    A model-independent Dalitz plot analysis of B±→DK± with D→K0Sh+h− (h=π,K) decays and constraints on the CKM angle γ

    No full text
    A binned Dalitz plot analysis of B ±→DK ± decays, with D→KS0π+π- and D→KS0K+K-, is performed to measure the CP-violating observables x ± and y ± which are sensitive to the CKM angle γ. The analysis exploits 1.0 fb -1 of data collected by the LHCb experiment. The study makes no model-based assumption on the variation of the strong phase of the D decay amplitude over the Dalitz plot, but uses measurements of this quantity from CLEO-c as input. The values of the parameters are found to be x -=(0.0±4.3±1.5±0.6)×10 -2, y -=(2.7±5.2±0.8±2.3)×10 -2, x +=(-10.3±4.5±1.8±1.4)×10 -2 and y +=(-0.9±3.7±0.8±3.0)×10 -2. The first, second, and third uncertainties are the statistical, the experimental systematic, and the error associated with the precision of the strong-phase parameters measured at CLEO-c, respectively. These results correspond to γ=(44-38+43)°, with a second solution at γ→γ+180°, and r B=0.07±0.04, where r B is the ratio between the suppressed and favoured B decay amplitudes

    First observation of Bs → J/ψf0(980) decays

    No full text
    Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the hadronic decay is observed. This CP eigenstate mode could be used to measure mixing-induced CP violation in the system. Using a fit to the π+π− mass spectrum with interfering resonances gives . In the interval ±90 MeV around 980 MeV, corresponding to approximately two full f0 widths we also find , where in both cases the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively
