NASREDDIN HODJA AND NEW WORLD ORDER IN MASKE VE RUH
No full textNasreddin Hodja is a Turkish philosopher who have resisted for centuries with his intelligence and wisdom. Hodja, who has been the symbol of tolerance, knows how to look at life from the positive side in his anecdotes. Because of his these characteristics, Halide Edib sent Hoca as the protagonist of Maske ve Ruh which is her fantasy play to the 21st century’s Aksehir. In this age when matter is more important than spirit, people are as similar to each other like the same masks. Halide Edib builded a dystopic world that she created with this social landscape in which people are increasingly mechanised in Maske ve Ruh. The author who placed Nasreddin Hodja in the dystopic landscape, compared his ideas with the advanced intellectual orientations in this century and critized the ideological orientations that have begun to quickly influence the world through him. The author tried to remind the values that they had forgotten to a soulless society also by adding the other names who lived before like Hodja on her play. In this study, firstly, the location of Nasreddin Hodja in Maske ve Ruh will tried to be located. In this way, the approachment style to Hodja who came to life hundreds of years after his own life will have been interpreted. Afterwards, it will be focused on to the message which the author wanted to give with Maske ve Ruh, and these aspects that 21st century's Turkey of whose view of life had been changed because of materialist world order will be discussed
The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
Get PDFAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Learning, inference, and control for construction robots and spatiotemporal processes
Get PDFExpert operators of real world robots, especially constructions robots, develop expertise from years of training and experience. In the absence of such experts, these robots are operated by novice operators, and this adversely affects the productivity. On the other hand, safety concerns and the nature of the operating environment limits the possibility of automating these robots. This thesis proposes a solution by considering a problem setting in which the robot learns a policy from experts to train novice human operators. Formally, this is posed as the problem of learning instructional policy from demonstration, that maps the state of the robot to an instruction for a human operator. Existing methods learn policy from demonstration, however such policies do not relate to the human operator's action space and hence cannot be used to generate instructions for novice operators. We introduce action primitives that address this challenge of mapping continuous state action trajectories to human parse-able and executable instructions.
Construction tasks are complex as they consist of several subtasks with stochastic transitions. For such tasks, existing approaches learn policy for component subtask and then rely either on predefined decomposition or heuristics to generate policy for the entire task. To overcome this limitation, and to generate instructions for an entire construction task, this thesis proposes learning of a structured probabilistic model for instructional policy. This model utilizes hierarchy of Markov chains that incrementally captures the number of subtasks as well as their transitions. Switching between the subtasks is inferred using a likelihood rate based inference approach proposed in this thesis. Instructional policy model is tested based on a controlled group study involving 113 participants, who learn to perform the truck loading task on a hydraulic actuated scaled excavator robot.
Further this thesis investigates shared control design for construction robots. Existing work has established that shared control can improve cycle times in nominal conditions. However, these methods can be too slow to relinquish control in off-nominal cases, when the operator needs to deviate from the nominally optimal trajectory due to unforeseen obstacles or other uncertainties. With an objective to incorporate such capability, this thesis proposes a new shared control technique that utilizes the operator's intent to quickly relinquish control in off-nominal conditions. Theoretical results with performance guarantees and improved obstacle reaction time are presented. Proposed design has been experimentally validated on Zermelo's navigation problem. The last part of the thesis introduces kernel observer for learning and inference of large-scale stochastic phenomena with both spatial and temporal (spatiotemporal) evolution. This work considers the problem of estimating the latent state of a spatiotemporally evolving continuous function using very few sensor measurements. The model consists of a dynamical systems prior over temporal evolution of weights of a kernel model. Theoretical results provide sufficient conditions on the number and spatial location of sensors required to guarantee state recovery. A lower bound on the minimum number of sensors required to robustly infer the hidden states is also derived. Finally, theoretical results for randomly selecting sensing or sampling locations based on the predictive kernel observer model are presented. Our approach outperforms state-of-the-art kernel based machine learning methods in numerical experiments on real world datasets.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Harshal Maske, accepted the attached license on 2018-06-14 at 15:57.The student, Harshal Maske, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-06-14 at 16:13.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-06-15 at 09:37.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12631 on 2018-09-27 at 11:15:58Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:30:12Z (GMT).

Reflections of language use as a mask in literary translation: An analysis of a bilingual author/translator
No full textBu tez çalışmasında, dünyayı algılama biçimimizi etkileyen, anlam yaratma gücü olan, toplumların ve kişilerin kimlik inşasında önemli yer tutan, aynı zamanda bir amaç taşıma işlevi de gören dilin, bir yazar/çevirmen tarafından nasıl arkasına sığınılan bir maske olarak kullanılabileceği bir "öz-çeviri" örneği üzerinden ele alınacaktır. Bu bağlamda yazar/çevirmenin dilin ardına sığınma eğiliminin altında yatan olası sebepler ve bu sebeplerin kültürel, sosyal ve psikolojik etkileri yazar/çevirmen ve çevirmenin kendilerini ifade etme biçimlerini nasıl etkilediği çeviribilim çerçevesinde ele alınacak, dilin her iki çeviri sürecinde uğradığı değişimler ve bu değişimlerin olası nedenleri tespit edilecektir. Çalışmada Hans J. Vermeer'in her çeviri eyleminin bir amacı olduğunu ve her çevirinin amacının kendi gerekliliklerine özgü olduğu vurgusunu yaptığı Skopos kuramı üzerinden yazar/çevirmenin değişen yazma amacıyla beraber kendini çevirmesi bağlamında "öz-çeviri" kavramı temel alınarak çeviribilim odaklı bir inceleme yapılacak, bir ''öz-çeviri" olan Elif Batuman'ın kaleme aldığı The Idiot (2018) adlı kaynak metin ve metnin Hande Dönmez tarafından Türkçeye kazandırılan Budala (2023) adlı çevirisi karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilerek her iki çeviride uygulanan çevirmen kararları sonucunda kullanılan çeviri stratejileri tespit edilecek, bu doğrultuda dilin maske olarak nasıl kullanıldığı, çift dilli ve çift kültürlü olmanın yazar/çevirmene sağladığı imkânlar, dil-kültür ilişkisi ve bu ilişkinin çeviri metinlere yansımaları, çift dilli bir yazar/çevirmen olarak yazarın "öz-çeviri" yoluyla farklı bir kültürde kendine nasıl yeni bir benlik inşa edip var oluş kazandırdığı ve çeviri amaçları doğrultusunda kaynak ve erek metinde uygulanan çevirmen kararları örnekler üzerinden incelenerek çözümlenmeye çalışılacaktır.This thesis will examine how language, which influe
Deus ludens
No full textDiese Diplomarbeit stellt eine Auseinandersetzung mit den Bakchen des Euripides dar. Bevor aber der Haupttext dieser Arbeit behandelt werden kann, muss eine andere Frage gestellt werden: Was ist überhaupt Dionysisch?
Dionysos als zentrale Figur der Bakchen macht diese Frage notwendig. Vor allem da die Bakchen die wichtigste antike Quelle für Dionysos und das Dionysische bieten. Über eine Entwicklungsgeschichte von über zweitausend Jahren hinweg entfernt sich der Begriff von seinem göttlichen Namensgeber, um schließlich in der Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geister der Musik von Friedrich Nietzsche zu landen.
Anhand von Nietzsches Text findet eine Bedeutungsabrüstung des Begriffs statt, um einen freieren gedanklichen Zugang zu Euripides Bakchen zu ermöglichen.
Den Zugang zum Haupttext der Arbeit ermöglicht nicht ein Begriff, sondern ein Objekt: die Maske.
Als thematischer Fokus stellt die Maske den Leitfaden für die restliche Arbeit dar, unter dem Gesichtspunkt des antiken Denkkonstrukts der Maskierung in Form des prósopon. Das prósopon grenzt die kontextuelle Behandlung der Ikonographie des dionysischen Kultes und den Rahmen der Aufführung der Bakchen ein.
Vor der eigentlichen Interpretation der Bakchen als Metatragödie steht noch eine Behandlung der Text- und Autorenbiographie.
Die Interpretation wird Dionysos als deus ludens zeigen, dessen Epiphanie den Zuschauer zur Verdreifachung der Maske in den Bakchen des Euripides leiten wird.This diploma thesis deals with Euripides’ Bacchae.
But before an examination of the Bacchae can take place, another question has to be asked: What is dionysiac anyway?
Dionysos, as the central character of the Bacchae, makes this question necessary. Especially because the Bacchae constitute the most important antique resource for information about Dionysos and the dionysiac.
The term dionysiac develops through a history of over two thousand years only to land in Friedrich Nietzsches Birth of Tragedy through Music.
Through Nietzsche’s text the vast meaning of the term will be stripped down to enable a thought process free of the implicit baggage of a constructed term for the main text of this thesis: The Bacchae.
Theoretical access to the text will not be made through a term but through an object:
the mask.
As thematic focal point, the mask will lead through the thought process of masking in antiquity illustrated by the term prósopon as well as the iconography of the dionysiac cult and the context, in which the staging of the Bacchae took place. A short history of the text and its author will prelude the final chapters and interpretation of the Bacchae as metatragedy.
The interpretation will show Dionysos as deus ludens, whose epiphany leads the spectator to a tripling of the mask in Euripides Bacchae

No full textDie Einleitung in einen Band, der die aktuelle literaturwissenschaftliche Debatte zur Autorschaft in einen dezidiert religiös-politischen Kontext setzt, skizziert die historische Entwicklung von Autorschaftsmodellen im Spannungsfeld von Religion und Politik von der Antike bis zur postmodernen Gegenwart. Es wird deutlich, dass nach dem 'Tod des Autors' in den 1960er-Jahren und der 'Wiederkehr des Autors' in den 1990er-Jahren die diskursive Konstruktion des Autors nach wie vor eine brisante literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Größe ist. Der Artikel befasst sich mit Autorenporträts und stellt die Frage nach der Legitimität und dem Nutzen der bildlichen Darstellung von Autoren in den Kontext des christlichen Bilderstreits. Es wird argumentiert, dass zwischen Bild und Autor ein metaphorisches Substitutionsverhältnis besteht, das es dem Autor bzw. der Autorin auf der einen Seite ermöglicht, Präsenz zu behaupten, sich auf der anderen Seite hinter der Maske ihres Bilds aber auch zu verbergen.The introduction to a volume that places the current literary studies debate on authorship in an explicitly religious-political context traces the historical development of notions of authorship between religion and politics from antiquity to the postmodern time. It elucidates that the discursive construction of the author after the 'Death of the Author' in the 1960s and the 'Return of the Author' in the 1990s is still a volatile category in Literary and Cultural Studies. The article deals with portraits of authors and discusses the legitimacy and the benefit of author images with respect to the Christian Iconoclastic Controversy. It argues that metaphorical substitutions constitute the relation between the author and his/her image. Thus images of authors on the one hand allow for the author's presence and on the other hand provide a mask behind which the s/he may hide
