Recall this Book 56: Merve Emre on Natalia Ginzburg's "The Dry Heart"
No full textLike 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?
Dynamic key ring update mechanism for mobile wireless sensor networks
No full textKey distribution is an important issue to provide security in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Many of the key pre-distribution schemes proposed for static WSNs perform poorly when they are applied to Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs). In this paper, we propose Dynamic Key Ring Update (DKRU) mechanism for MWSNs. The aim of DKRU mechanism is to enable sensor nodes to update their key rings periodically during movement, by observing the frequent keys in their neighbors. Our mechanism can be used together with different key pre-distribution schemes and it helps to increase the performance of them. For the performance evaluation basis, we used our mechanism together with a location based key pre-distribution scheme. Our results show that DKRU mechanism increases the local and global connectivity when it is applied to MWSNs. Moreover, our mechanism does not cause a significant degradation in network resiliency
Bioethanol Production from Mulberry Molasses Waste with Ohmic-Assisted Hydrodistillation
No full textIn this study, the fermentation process of bioethanol production conditions were optimized by response surface methodology. Mulberry molasses production waste was used as the only carbon source for yeast fermentation to produce bioethanol. Hydrodistillation (HD) and ohmic-assisted hydrodistillation (OAHD) methods were employed to concentrate the bioethanol. Fermentation time (48–168 h), waste matter rate (5–45%) and pH (5–7) were selected as independent variables. Alcohol concentration was treated as the response. Optimum fermentation conditions were determined as 96.894 h fermentation time, 45% waste ratio and pH 7. At these optimum conditions, alcohol concentration was determined as 3.77 ± 0.33%. While the distillate obtained in the HD method contained 22.50 ± 1.89% alcohol, it showed 27.72 ± 0.24% in the OAHD method. The energy consumption values for OAHD and HD was 2.92 ± 0.51 and 53.24 ± 1.74 Wh/mL bioethanol, respectively. Results of study showed that the OAHD could be a cost-effective and green method to distillation of bioethanol from mulberry molasses waste. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2024

No full textYÖK Tez No: 560378Eski Anadolu Türkçesi döneminde satır altı tekniğiyle yazılmış çeviri eserler ve üzerinde çalıştığımız söz konusu bu eser bir yandan dilimizin söz varlığını ve kelime hazinesini ortaya koyarken bir yandan da 14.-15. yüzyıllarda diğer diller karşısındaki gücünü ortaya koymaktadır. İşbu eserlerde bir taraftan Kur'an'da yer alan tüm hususlar en ince ayrıntısına kadar aktarmaya özen gösterilirken bir taraftan da dinin kurallarının, muhatapları tarafından tam anlaşılması için tercüme edilen dilin tüm inceliklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Çalıştığımız bu eser, Bursa'da hayatını kaybetmiş bir zâtın kitaplığında bulunmuş, fotoğraflanarak tarafımıza gönderilmiştir. Eser sırası bozuk bir şekilde tertip edildiğinden ilk öncelikle sûrelerin sıraları takip edilerek tekrardan nizamlanmıştır. Çalışmamız Nebe Sûresi'nden başlamış Tebbet Sûresi ile sonlanmıştır. Yani Amme Cüzüdür. Satır altı tercümesi ve tefsirle birlikle oluşturulan bu eserin müellifi hakkında bir bilgiye sahip değiliz. Her varak 11 satırdan oluşmaktadır. Çok sık olmamakla birlikte yazar derkenarlarla açıklamalarına ekleme ya da yanlışlarına düzeltme yapmıştır. Eserin yapraklarının çeşitli yerleri ıslanmış olduğundan bazı kelimeler çözümlenememiştir. Çözümlenemeyen bu kelimeler noktalanarak boş bırakılmıştır. Eserin giriş kısmında Kur'an tercümeleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalara değinilmiştir. Daha sonra eserin grameri çalışılmıştır. Akabinde eserin transkripti yapılmıştır, tıpkıbasımı sunulmuştur. Sonuç bölümünde eserin değerlendirilmesi yapılmış ve son olarak da eserin sözlüğü dizin olarak oluşturulmuştur.In the period of Old Anatolian Turkish, the works written under the line technique and this work we are working on reveal the vocabulary and vocabulary of our language on the one hand and the 14th-15th. centuries in other languages reveals its strength. In these works, on the one hand, all the issues in the Qur'an are taken into consideration in detail, while all the subtleties of the translated language are used to fully understand the rules of religion by its interlocutors. This work we have worked in has been found in the library of a person who lost his life in Bursa and has been photographed and sent to us. Since the order of the work was arranged in a distorted way, the first order of suras was followed and reorganized. Our study started from Surah Nebe and ended with Surah Tebbet. In other words, it is public. We do not have any information about the author of this work, which was created in co-operation with an inline translation and commentary. Each leaf consists of 11 lines. Although not very common, the author has made additions or corrections to the explanations with the margins. In the introduction part of the work, the studies on Qur'an translations are mentioned. Then the grammar of the work was studied. Subsequently, the transcript of the work was made, just as it was printed. In the conclusion section, the work was evaluated and finally the dictionary of the work was created as an index.
New results for optimization in stochastic networks
No full textWe are interested in single commodity stochastic network design problems under probabilistic constraint with discrete and continuous random variables. We use a stochastic programming model under probabilistic constraint (also called a chance-constrained model) to study these problems. The problem addressed in this research is how to find minimum cost optimal capacities at the nodes and/or arcs subject to the constraint that the demands should be met on a prescribed probability level (reliability constraint). In our first problem formulation, we formulate the reliability constraint in terms of the Gale-Hoffman feasibility inequalities. In latter formulations, we allow system to meet the demand at least -out-of- and consecutive -out-of- periods. The number of reliability constraints, in both cases, increases exponentially with the size of the nodes and therefore we identify the redundant constraints and reduce their number with elimination methods. Even with the reduced number of inequalities, it is not simple to solve probabilistic constrained stochastic network problems due to the large number of efficient points that satisfy the probabilistic condition. To overcome the size limitation of the problem, we develop a new theorem for efficient point generation in the case when the random variables are discrete, and we use hybrid cutting plane / supporting hyperplane algorithm in the case when the random variables are continuous.Ph.

More Than One Strategy: A Closer Examination of the Relationship Between Deep Acting and Key Employee Outcomes
No full textThe relationship between emotional labor strategies (i.e., deep acting and surface acting) and employee outcomes has been often studied. Yet, although the impact of surface acting on employee well-being is clear, findings regarding deep acting have been inconsistent. In the present study, we propose that this may be explained by the multidimensional nature of deep acting, which subsumes different specific emotion regulation strategies. With a 5-day diary study, we investigated the links between subtypes of deep acting (i.e., cognitive change and attentional deployment) and key employee outcomes (i.e., mental fatigue, self-authenticity, and rewarding interactions) in a sample of 244 employees. Multilevel analyses confirmed that different emotion regulation strategies underlying deep acting were differentially related to employee outcomes, which may explain the mixed results of previous research examining deep acting as a uniform construct. Theoretical and practical implications of considering specific emotion regulation strategies underlying deep acting are discussed
Shifting Dynamics in Turkish Foreign Policy in the Trans-European Space
No full textThis chapter reconstructs Turkey’s foreign policy interactions with the key actors in the Trans-European space, during the Justice and Development Party’s (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, hereafter AKP) era, evaluating how they have developed over time and how they have been mutually influencing. Turkish foreign policy has shifted from a Europe-centred outlook, generally characterized by the long haul of European Union (EU) membership, towards a more assertive foreign policy approach, fuelled with attaining an ambitious regional role, which was particularly displayed with the unfolding of the Syrian crisis. After presenting the origins and the main features of a pro-active and multi-dimensional Turkish foreign policy, this chapter analyses how different factors in Turkey-EU relations have led to a long pause in the membership process and contributed to re-orient Turkish foreign policy towards its regional spaces. In the last section, we present selected cases of the recent Turkish structural foreign policy activism in its regional spaces, mainly from Central Asia, Middle East and Africa, and the Balkans
Abortion in Islamic law
No full textConcerned about giving women fatwas that a 4-month-old baby can be aborted, based on the views found in classical Islamic law, Hafsa Kesgin's book has helped him write. In addition, Hafsa Kesgin stated that there is no study in the type of book that combines positive law and Islamic law in any type of book. Her desire to make a contribution to this deficiency led to the emergence of this study. The book consists of a short introduction and five main titles. The author dealt with the subject in terms of medicine, previous sharia, sociology, positive law, and Islamic law. It can be said that the author, who hopes that her work will be instrumental in helping another baby cling to life, is working toward society. At the same time, it can be stated that this work can be one of the beginning books for those who make academic studies on the subject, and it will be a good guide for reaching classical and contemporary sources from various sciences about abortion. This study aimed to examine this work

Modelling the impact of climate change risk on supply chain performance
No full textClimate change is among the top global risks due to its growing adverse impact on businesses. However, few empirical studies address this imminent risk from a supply chain perspective. Due to a lack of established approaches for capturing complex interaction between climate change risk and supply chain performance, a three-phase mixed methodology approach was attempted. A cognitive map first captured the inter-relationships based on a mental model established by a group of experts. Later, a survey gathered from industry practitioners assessing causal relationships identified key climate change factors and most influenced supply chain performance dimensions. Finally, a system dynamics model supported by multiple case scenarios assessed the implications of climate change on supply chain performance. The results indicated a significant reduction in the availability of natural resources/raw material and capacity, leading to increase in stock-outs, inventory costs and bottlenecks disrupting procurement, manufacturing and logistics functions. Supply chain performance captured through efficiency and effectiveness shows a negative trend with increasing climate change consequences. The systems approach followed in this paper contributes by providing a quantitative model for assessing the impact of climate change risk on supply chain performance
