No full textIn Defense of Free Speech in Universities
No full textIn this book, Amy Lai examines the current free speech crisis in Western universities. She studies the origin, history, and importance of freedom of speech in the university setting, and addresses the relevance and pitfalls of political correctness and microaggressions on campuses, where laws on harassment, discrimination, and hate speech are already in place, along with other concepts that have gained currency in the free speech debate, including deplatforming, trigger warning, and safe space. Looking at numerous free speech disputes in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, the book argues for the equal application of the free speech principle to all expressions to facilitate respectful debates. All in all, it affirms that the right to free expression is a natural right essential to the pursuit of truth, democratic governance, and self-development, and this right is nowhere more important than in the university
Istanbul University Library T.Y. transcription and content analysis of song magazine no. 03276
No full textBu çalışmada 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında kaleme alındığı tahmin edilen İstanbul Üniversitesi T.Y. 03276 numarada kayıtlı bulunan "Şarkı Mecmuası" incelenmiştir. Mecmuanın müellif kaydı bulunmamaktadır. Üç bölümden oluşan çalışmanın birinci bölümünde mecmuanın tanımı ve tasnifi yapılmış, güfte mecmuaları hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. İkinci bölümde çalışmaya konu olan mecmua, "Muhteva" ve "Şekil Hususiyetleri" başlıkları altında incelenmiş "Mecmuanın İncelenmesinde Gözetilen Esaslar" başlığı altında metnin kuruluşu ve imlâ problemlerine de yer verilmiştir. Mecmuadan faydalanmayı kolaylaştırmak maksadıyla muhtevası ile ilgili tablolar hazırlanmıştır. Üçüncü bölümde metnin Osmanlıcadan günümüz harflerine aktarımı verilmiştir. Ayrıca metin içerisinde yer almayan fakat Divan Makam ve Türk Sanat Müziği Nota Arşivi gibi kaynaklarda tespit edilen bazı bilgilere de dipnot ve tablolarda yer verilmiştir.In this study, the "Şarkı Mecmuası" (Song Anthology), registered under the number T.Y. 03276 at Istanbul University, which is estimated to have been compiled in the second half of the 19th century, has been examined. The manuscript does not contain any information regarding its author. The study consists of three main sections. In the first section, the anthology is defined and classified, and general information about güfte mecmuası (lyrics anthologies) is provided. The second section analyzes the manuscript in terms of its "Content" and "Formal Characteristics," and addresses the principles followed in the examination of the text, including issues related to orthography and textual structure. To facilitate the use of the anthology, several tables regarding its content have been prepared. In the third section, the text has been transcribed from Ottoman Turkish into the modern Turkish alphabet. Furthermore, additional information not found in the manuscript but identified in sources such as the Divan Makam and Turkish Classical Music Notation Archive has been included in the footnotes and tables
Author correction: Clear and transparent nanocrystals for infrared-responsive carrier transfer
No full textThe original version of this Article omitted the fourth author Taizo Yoshinaga, who is from the 'Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Japan'. Consequently, the third sentence of the Author Contributions, 'M.S. and M.K. synthesized the ITO NCs and ITO/semiconductor oxides' was revised to 'M.S., M.K. and T.Y. synthesized the ITO NCs and ITO/semiconductor oxides'. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article
Optical coherence tomography in the management of diabetic macular oedema
No full textDiabetic macular oedema (DMO) is the major cause of visual impairment in people with diabetes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now the most widely used modality to assess presence and severity of DMO. DMO is currently broadly classified based on the involvement to the central 1 mm of the macula into non-centre or centre involved DMO (CI-DMO) and DMO can occur with or without visual acuity (VA) loss. This classification forms the basis of management strategies of DMO. Despite years of research on quantitative and qualitative DMO related features assessed by OCT, these do not fully inform physicians of the prognosis and severity of DMO relative to visual function. Having said that, recent research on novel OCT biomarkers development and re-defined classification of DMO show better correlation with visual function and treatment response. This review summarises the current evidence of the association of OCT biomarkers in DMO management and its potential clinical importance in predicting VA and anatomical treatment response. The review also discusses some future directions in this field, such as the use of artificial intelligence to quantify and monitor OCT biomarkers and retinal fluid and identify phenotypes of DMO, and the need for standardisation and classification of OCT biomarkers to use in future clinical trials and clinical practice settings as prognostic markers and secondary treatment outcome measures in the management of DMO
Avant-garde between east and west: Modern architecture and town-planning in the Urals 1920-30
No full textOn hearing the term "Soviet modernism", images of Moscow and Leningrad spring to mind. These two cities may compete with each other for the title of the Russian modernist paradigm. Meanwhile little attention has been paid to the developments in more remote areas of Russia. Apparently, the Ural region played a remarkable role in the history of Soviet avant-garde architecture. Without a clear picture of the developments in the Urals, our knowledge of the Soviet modernism is not complete. Within the framework of the state programme of socialist industrialisation, Soviet and Western modernists implemented in the Urals a number of innovative town-planning concepts, such as decentralization of big cities by building satellite towns. Development of cities, industrial sites and settling systems was carried out with consideration of geographical, climatic, economical and other characteristic features of the location. The Urals cities, therefore, represent a unique complex, which fully demonstrates conceptual regularities of modernist town-planning, placed into regional context. In the 1920-30s, Sverdlovsk, the capital of the Ural region, was a major regional centre of architectural and town-planning activities. It was closely connected with the vanguard "headquarters" in Moscow and Leningrad. Today this city (renamed into Ekaterinburg) possesses an extensive collection of modernist monuments that deserves a close attention of specialists.Architectur
