Mediative Performance of Creative Precariat in the Age of Digitalization
No full textIn this thesis, I define the artists who perform physical performances as the artist precariat. Starting from the concept of precariat, I am researching how the life of the precariat artist was affected socially and economically in the transition from physical performance to meditated performance in the age of digitalization. Since this research coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, I will have better analyzed the companies that were positively and negatively affected by the lockdown and the dimension of precariousness experienced by the artists. In this thesis, the formation of mediatized performance (distributing the video and audio recordings of the produced performance to different media channels) will be explained, to understand what the concept of contemplation is, and to understand the possible losses in art when contemplation becomes cool (artificial) in physical stage art. In addition, I expressed what the concept of precariat means in different studies and why I need to use this concept in this study. Data obtained by semi-structured interviews, which were held with stage company owners and physical performance artists (snowball sampling) and participant observation in field, were analyzed by discourse analysis techniques. Based on the collected data, the relationship between transforming art and artist insecurity will be examined. My analysis is composed of three sections: (1) to examine the measures and difficulties faced by art center owners, audiences, and artists regarding digitalization with the concepts of Baudrillard's “immortality” and Barthes’s “the author is death”. (2) Investigating the social precariousness created by the financial precariousness of flexible working in the arts sector (in the context of age and gender). Examining the concept of “precariat class” used by Guy Standing in his work on precarious working and flexible employment by focusing on the artist group and adding dimension (depth) to the concept in this direction. (3) To explore the adaptation process of precariat art to mediation shifting in the light of Byung-Chul Han’s concept of the “Banopticon” and Durkheim’s study of suicide. As a result of the interviews and fieldwork outputs, the death of art, which was defined metaphorically in the first place, eventually turned into the actual end of the artist. I contend that creative stage artists have difficulties in the transition process because their digital media knowledge and skills are insufficient, rendering them financially and socially precarious. Unemployment and insecurity experienced by the precariat artist in the culture and art sector affect not only the artist himself, but also the family members of the artist, art-loving individuals and the society. For this reason, the artist's insecurity becomes a collective problem rather than an individual one
Production and Enrichment of Erucic Acid Methyl Ester Analytical Standards from Natural Oils for Food Control Analysis
No full textFoods high in erucic acid (EA), a fatty acid considered a natural toxin, can pose various health risks. Studies have reported that people exposed to high levels of EA are more likely to experience cardiovascular disease, are susceptible to myocardial adiposity, and have increased rates of diabetes. Therefore, in 2019, the European Commission (EC) declared that the maximum EA content in vegetable oils should be no more than 2%. These regulations require EA analysis in import and export food samples. A methyl ester of EA (EAME) standard is required to analyze EA content. In many countries, this analytical standard is not available and is being imported. This study endeavored to economically produce the EAME standard, which is in high demand due to mandated analysis, using natural oils. Initially, the fatty acid amounts in the food samples were analyzed by the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry/flame ionization detection (GC-MS/FID) method. The analyses revealed that mustard seed oil had the lowest EA content, while yellow mustard seed oil had the maximum EA content. The esterification was conducted on the samples containing both high and low EA, resulting in an efficiency of approximately 80%. The crystallization process was subsequently repeated to increase the EA quantity until the highest EAME content was obtained. By this process, 14 different concentrations of EAME ranging from 2.33 to 55.66% were produced. These results demonstrate the first successful production of EAME standards from natural oils that can be used in validation and internal quality control studies for food control analysis. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024
Streamflow Forecasting Using Different Neural Network Models with Satellite Data for a Snow Dominated Region in Turkey
No full textAbstractData driven models such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) became a very popular tool in hydrology for a long time, especially in rainfall–runoff modelling. However, it does not have common usage in mountainous catchments, where snowmelt plays an important role, due to lack of continuous snow observations. In order to improve the accuracy of snowmelt modeling, recently available satellite snow products are considered as an alternative input to these models. In this study, two different ANN models are employed and compared with each other using novel MODIS satellite snow covered area products as an alternative input into climatic data based models. Firstly, flows are modelled with Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) network using gradient-based Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm. Secondly, Radial Basis Function (RBF) network is developed. Both models are performed to estimate the daily flows of Karasu River in the Upper Euphrates Basin, Turkey using 2002 – 2011 data. The main difference between the RBF network and MLP network is in the nature of the nonlinearities associated with hidden nodes. The nonlinearity in MLP is implemented by a fixed function such as a sigmoid. On the other hand, the RBF method bases its nonlinearities on the training set data. In the study the determination of model architectures, optimization algorithms and methods to avoid overfitting are elaborately investigated

Pseudepigraphic Medieval literary successors are implied) had borrowed certain concepts of
Zoroastrian afterlife and how this can be exposed through the medium of available texts.
There has been quite an extended discussion among scholars of various fields on this issue in
general; yet there is a certain lack of a more detailed approach.
The following dissertation deals with the certain features of the description of hell
(„tours of hell” of visionary genre) within the context of otherworldly journeys of a God
elected hero particularly concerned with the details of punishment of the sinners using
principle of retaliation (talion) as means of reward. The task of the author is to carry out an
analytical comparison between these common elements or its modified forms (hanging
punishments, location of hell in northern regions, angels of punishment and various
tormenting creatures, etc.) inherent at textual sources.
The main thesis of my doctoral research makes an attempt to research Jewish
Medieval tours of hell as closely resembling concepts behind Arda Wiraz Namag („The
Book of the Righteous Wiraz”, 9th-10th century, Zoroastrian community treatise on
otherworldly journey to have a glimpse of heavenly bliss and punishments in hell) and other
Pahlavi texts (up till the 9th century C.E.) of Sasanid period in Iran (226 C.E.-651 C.E.).
Zoroastrian descriptions of hell tours bear some particular elements which are
exclusively vivid, especially in comparison to identical Jewish hell tours (Medieval visionary
midrash) comprising the same or similar elements.
The concept of “hanging punishments” according to which the sinners are hung up
by the part of the body they had sinned with is reviewed. The original idea of a principle of
the correspondence of a punished limb to a crime committed is probably mostly borrowed
from Zoroastrians; this statement could be approved by their book Arda Wiraz Namag.
Medieval Jewish visionary midrash which was popular among masses (however not
supported by rabbis) can be considered as a descendant of earlier Jewish Pseudepigraphal
and Apocryphal traditions. It received more elaborated form between the 9th and 14th
centuries, and chronologically corresponds to fixing of Arda Wiraz Namag in a written form
and most of Zoroastrian centuries old traditions written down during the 9th and 10th
centuries (esp. 9th Cent.).

Bilateral same-session flexible ureterorenoscopy for renal and/or ureteric stone disease treatment
No full textArda, Ersan (Trakya author)Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bilateral same-session flexible ureterorenoscopy (f-URS) in the treatment of bilateral renal and/ or ureteric stone disease. Patients and methods: From October 2007 to December 2015, 62 patients who had undergone bilateral, same-session f-URS were included in the study. The procedures were performed under general anaesthesia, in lithotomy, and initiated on the side in which the patient was clinically symptomatic or on the side in which the stone was smaller. Plain abdominal radiography, intravenous urography, renal ultrasonography and/or non-contrast computed tomography scans were conducted in all patients. The success rate was defined as, patients who were stone-free or only had residual fragments of < 3 mm. Results: A total of 62 patients (43 male, 19 female), with a mean (SD) age of 39 (15.1) years, were included. The mean (SD) stone size was 23.2 (6.11) mm with a mean (SD) operative time of 58.8 (16.24) min. The stone-free rates were 90.3% and 100% after the first and second procedures, respectively. The mean (SD) hospital stay was 1.58 (0.72) days. There were minor complications (Clavien-Dindo grade I-II) in 10 (16%) patients and major complications (Clavien-Dindo III-IV), e.g. distal ureter laceration and laser injury of the ureter, in two patients. Conclusion: Same session bilateral f-URS is a successful and safe method for bilateral renal and/or ureteric stones.
