A Semantic-Embedding Model-Driven Seq2Seq Method for Domain-Oriented Entity Linking on Resource-Restricted Devices
No full textGeneral entity linking systems usually leverage global coherence of all the mapped entities in the same document by using semantic embeddings and graph-based approaches. However, graph-based approaches are computationally expensive for open-domain datasets. In this paper, the authors overcome these problems by presenting an RDF embedding-based seq2seq entity linking method in specific domains. They filter candidate entities of mentions having similar meanings by using the domain information of the annotated pairs. They resolve high ambiguous pairs by using Bi-directional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) and attention mechanism for the entity disambiguation. To evaluate the system with baseline methods, they generate a dataset including book, music, and movie categories. They achieved 0.55 (Mi-F1), 0.586 (Ma-F1), 0.846 (Mi-F1), and 0.87 (Ma-F1) scores for high and low ambiguous datasets. They compare the method by using recent (WNED-CWEB) datasets with existing methods. Considering the domain-specificity of the proposed method, it tends to achieve competitive results while using the domain-oriented datasets.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) 2211 National Graduate Scholarship ProgramThe first author Emrah Inan was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) 2211 National Graduate Scholarship Program during his PhD in Ege University, Turkey
The Portrayal of Family and Self-reflexivity in Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author
No full textLuigi Pirandello’s play, Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921, Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore)
portrays numerous significant and functional characteristics of metatheatre, a concept coined by Lionel
Abel. By drawing on such metatheatrical features and the play within a play technique, Pirandello’s play
presents six characters that are in search of an author. This study will, therefore, explain the concept
of metatheatre and present a critical analysis of the play, Six Characters as a self-reflexive play. In this
critical engagement with the text through specific references from the play and relevant secondary sources,
important themes in the play such as reality and illusion, life, art, and the representation of the family in the
play will be analysed. This analysis will ultimately demonstrate that Pirandello presents six characters that
are self-conscious of their position as dramatic characters that manage to act out their roles, which actually
reveal the family relationships between the characters
Obstetric Outcomes of Syrian Refugees and Turkish Citizens

Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2016, all patients in our hospital were screened retrospectively. Totally, 17 000 pregnant women included in the study were divided into three groups: group 1: 4802 pregnant in Syrian refugees group; group 2: 6752 pregnant in the low-income Turkish citizens (LI groups); and group 3: 5446 women in high-income Turkish citizens (HI groups). the groups were compared for demographic parameters, prenatal, labor and postnatal results. Results: Age, gestational week, birth weights, antenatal follow-up, antenatal iron supplementation and prenatal hemoglobin (Hb) values were significantly lower in the Syrian refugee group (P < 0.001). Only moderate preterm delivery and moderate low birth weight were higher in the refugee group (P = 0.023 and P = 0.001). Stillbirth rates were similar in all three groups (P = 0.203), but all other neonatal complications were higher in the Turkish citizens group. Conclusion: in comparison to non-refugee control patients, adverse perinatal outcomes were not observed in pregnant refugees. the refugee health policies of the Republic of Turkey seem to be working. However, further larger multicenter studies may provide more convincing data about obstetric outcomes and health results in the Syrian refugee population
Gri skala değerlendirmesinin bilgisayar yardımı ile gerçekleştirilmesi ve ekranda doğru renk yönetiminin sağlanması
No full textMühendislik Fakültesi, Deri Mühendisliği A.B.D. Araştırma ProjesiAraştırma Projesi elektronik ortamda bulunmaktadır.Moda endüstrisinde kullanılan önemli malzemelerden biri olan derinin, müşterinin talep ettiği renkleri, özellikleri ve standartları taşıması gerekmektedir. Derilerden özellikle çeşitli haslık performanslarını sağlamaları beklenmektedir. Haslık testlerinde derinin ve referans kumaşın/keçenin değerlendirilmesi uzmanlar tarafından sübjektif olarak gri skalalar ile gerçekleştirilmektedir. Ancak insan gözünün çeşitli faktörlere bağlı olarak her zaman doğru sonuçlar vermediği bilinmektedir. Yine bir başka problem ise, bilgisayar ekranında renkler ile gerçek hayattaki renk arasındaki uyumsuzluktur. Bu proje kapsamında öncelikle sürtme haslığı testi yapılan deri örnekleri uzmanlar tarafından değerlendirilmiş ve puanlanmıştır. Daha sonra aynı örnekler renk ölçüm spektrofotometresi ile ölçülerek, elde edilen değerler proje kapsamında özel olarak yazılımı yapılmış bir bilgisayar programına aktarılmış ve ilgili standartlar kullanılarak bu değerlerden gri skala değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca ekran kalibrasyonu sağlanarak, ölçülen renk değerlerinin ilgili yazılımda ekrana doğru olarak yansıtılması sağlanmıştır. Son olarak görsel değerlendirmeler ve bilgisayar sonuçları kıyaslanarak, gri skala değerlendirme işleminin bilgisayar ile kısa sürede ve hata payı az olarak yapılabileceği ortaya konulmuştur.;Deri, Gri Skala, Renk Ölçüm.;Leather, Grey Scale, Colour Measurement

Translating Thomas More into Turkish: Domestication and Foreignization Strategies in Utopia (1516)
No full textThomas More’s seminal text, Utopia (1516), a highly significant text of utopian literature, or the founding text of the literary tradition of utopianism, as some scholars argue, has been translated numerous times into Turkish. More’s text has become crucial as an inspirational source in the quest for utopia, which the utopian scholar Lyman Tower Sargent describes as “a non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space” (1994, p. 9). Although there does not exist a rich tradition of utopianism in Turkish literature, there has been a growing interest in the literary genre over the last decades, which has accordingly resulted in a substantial increase in the quantity and quality of such utopian and dystopian works to be produced and to be translated. More’s text has been translated from such languages as English, German, French, and Latin into Turkish, but there exists only one translation from Latin, the original language of the source text. In this regard, this presentation will seek to compare and analyze these different translations of More’s Utopia with specific references to the domestication, which can be described as “an ethnocentric reduction of the foreign text to target language cultural values, bringing the author back home” (Venuti, 1995, p. 20) and foreignization, which “allows the readers to experience the ‘otherness’ of a foreign text” (Ajtony, 2017, p. 96) strategies
Hope in Speculative Literature: Utopia & Dystopia on the Screen
No full textSpeculative fiction offers a possibility to look beyond the reality and to imagine alternative world scenarios, which enables us an opportunity to question the existing social order through its potential to break existing boundaries of normality and imagine the impossible and the unknown. Therefore, the figures who have been traditionally accepted as “abnormal” or socially excluded are given a voice in the imagined or fantastic realms of speculative works. Speculative texts, which have become especially popular with the COVID-19 pandemic, have a strong potential to function as warnings through their worldbuilding capacity, as they draw particular attention to numerous problems and issues such as ecological crisis, climate crisis, population problem, and the use of technology.
In this regard, utopia and dystopia, which can be categorized as the subgenres of speculative literature, have gained popularity both in academia and among the general public, as people are attracted more and more by dystopian futures and quests to discover utopian dreams. Dystopia, which the eminent utopian scholar Lyman Tower Sargent describes as “a non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as considerably better than the society in which the reader lived” is traditionally considered to be lacking in hope, as dystopian narratives illustrate nightmarish world scenarios but hope in dystopian fiction can be ascertained through a close reading of such relevant works (“The Three Faces,” 1994: 9). In this regard, the aim of this paper is to seek hope and utopian impulse in speculative fiction through the discussion of selected utopian and/or dystopian works, especially critical dystopias, and their screen adaptations
