Resurrecting Silent Histories : A Journey through the Historical Novels of Kurdish Author Jan Dost
No full textThis article explores the historical novels of Kurdish author Jan Dost, highlighting theirrole in resurrecting and preserving the silent histories of the Kurdish people. By examining Dost’sworks through the lens of Georg Lukács’s theory of the historical novel, the article delves into howDost’s narratives blend fiction with historical events to cultivate national consciousness and reconstructKurdish identity. The study discusses the evolution of the historical novel as a genre and itssignificance in Kurdish literature, emphasizing Dost’s unique contributions. It argues that the nationalistthemes and character portrayals in Dost’s novels serve as a literary mechanism to reclaim Kurdishhistory, foster collective memory, and inspire cultural resilience. This analysis aims to understandthe reasons behind the success and literary impact of Dost’s works in the broader context ofKurdish and Middle Eastern literature
Fictional geography of Vüs’at O. Bener’s storybook named Dost-Yaşamasız
No full textSadece edebi değil; tarihî, sosyolojik, politik veya coğrafî özellikleriyle incelendiğinde edebi eserlerin pek çok farklı cephesi ortaya konulabilir. Özellikle kurgusal türlerde yazarın biyografisi ile anlatının kurgusal dünyası arasındaki paralellikleri ve kurgusal coğrafya ile gerçek coğrafya arasındaki izdüşümleri ortaya koymak, edebiyat incelemelerine önemli katkılar sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada 1952 ve 1957’de yayınlanmış Dost ve Yaşamasız adlı öykü kitaplarında yer alan toplam 32 öyküden hareketle Vüs’at O. Bener’in öykücülüğünde mekânın kurgu içerisinde yeri ve bu ögenin olay örgüsü, kişiler, zaman ve anlatıcı gibi anlatı bileşenleri ile olan ilişkileri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Kurgusal coğrafya ile yazarın biyografik coğrafyası arasındaki paralelliklerin ortaya konulmasında disiplinler arası yöntemlerden de yararlanılan çalışmada, öykülerde kullanılan otobiyografik ögelerin sadece yazarın öz yaşamından birtakım kesitler ve hatıralarla sınırlı kalmadığı; yaşanılan coğrafyaların da kurgusal dünyaya mekânsal zemin oluşturduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.When literary works are analyzed not only as literary characteristics but also as sociological, political and linguistic geography, it can be betrayed its many different aspects. Especially, in fictional kinds; betraying the parallelism between author’s biography and narration’s fictional world and the projections between fictional linguistic geography and real geography will contribute to literature analysis considerably. In this work, it was tried to betray the place of the location in the fiction and its relations with the narration components as the story line, people, time and the narrator hence 32 stories in his Dost and YaĢamasız books published in 1952 and 1957. It was come to the conclusion that in this work which was benefited from the methods among disciplines in the betraying of the parallelism among fictional, biographic and physical geographies, the autobiographical items which the author used in his stories are not only limited with some sequences and memories from his private life but also his geographies which he lived, composed a spatial basic for the fictional world

Hypocentre estimation of induced earthquakes in Groningen
No full textInduced earthquakes due to gas production have taken place in the province of Groningen in the northeast of The Netherlands since 1986. In the first years of seismicity, a sparse seismological network with large station distances from the seismogenic area in Groningen was used. The location of induced earthquakes was limited by the few and wide spread stations. Recently, the station network has been extended significantly and the location of induced earthquakes in Groningen has become routine work. Except for the depth estimation of the events. In the hypocentre method used for source location by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), the depth of the induced earthquakes is by default set to 3 km which is the average depth of the gas-reservoir. Alternatively, a differential traveltime for P-waves approach for source location is applied on recorded data from the extended network. The epicentre and depth of 87 induced earthquakes from 2014 to July 2016 have been estimated. The newly estimated epicentres are close to the induced earthquake locations from the current method applied by the KNMI. It is observed that most induced earthquakes take place at reservoir level. Several events in the same magnitude order are found near a brittle anhydrite layer in the overburden of mainly rock salt evaporites.</p

Medical students’ attitudes towards cardiothoracic surgery in the United Kingdom: a cross-sectional survey of 1675 students
No full textObjectives: The objectives of this study were the following: (i) assess interest levels in cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) amongst UK-based medical students, (ii) identify potential motivators and barriers to pursuing CTS training, (iii) explore the influence of gender on interest in CTS in greater depth.
Methods: Medical students from all year groups across UK medical schools were invited to participate in a cross-sectional, national online survey. Responses were collected from 02/12/2019 to 08/12/2019.
Results: 1675 medical students from 31 UK medical schools responded, with an estimated 5.3% response rate. Of the respondents, 33.7% respondents reported having exposure to CTS, primarily through their medical school or through extracurricular activities (48.4% and 38.8%, respectively). When assessing interest in CTS, 31.4% were interested in undertaking a career in CTS, with a larger proportion of students expressing interest with no exposure to CTS than those with exposure. However, interest in pursuing CTS decreased with exposure as medical students transitioned from pre-clinical to clinical stages. Additionally, male participants were more interested in seeking a CTS post than their female counterparts (38% vs. 27.6%). The length of training (p=0.0009) and competitive nature (p<0.0001) of gaining a CTS post were the primary deterring factor for female participants, compared to their male counterparts.
Conclusions: This study shows the importance of quality of exposure and its impact on students’ interests in pursuing a career in CTS. The negative relationship between exposure and interest in CTS can be associated with the realisation of the challenges that come with pursuing CTS
Democratization, economic liberalization, and transformational slump: a cross-sectional analysis of twenty-one postcommunist countries
No full textIn this paper the author provides some empirical evidence to show that those old, new, or restored countries of the former Soviet-dominated bloc which embarked on the early institutional transformation of their political and economic systems in a broad and intensive way experienced more quickly the resumption of economic stability and growth and thus left behind the severe downturn of a transformational slump (that is, economic contraction, hyperinflation, and a highly imbalanced governmental budget). The early postcommunist transformation is examined in terms of a general transformational equation. The author provides a cross-sectional explanation of early differences throughout the twenty-one countries both in the institutional transformation and in the transformational slump. Two complementary LISREL (linear structural equations) models show that a successful early postcommunist transformation means (1) a quick resumption of macroeconomic balance and economic growth resting on (2) genuine democratization and economic liberalization, and (3) higher levels of inherited modernization.

Perceptions of medical students towards online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic: a national cross-sectional survey of 2721 UK medical students
No full textObjectives To investigate perceptions of medical students on the role of online teaching in facilitating medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic
Design Cross-sectional, online national survey
Setting Responses collected online from 4th May to 11th May 2020 across 40 UK medical schools
Participants Medical students across all years from UK-registered medical schools
Main outcome measures The uses, experiences, perceived benefits and barriers of online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results 2721 medical students across 39 medical schools responded. Medical schools adapted to the pandemic in different ways. The changes included the development of new distance-learning platforms on which content was released, remote delivery of lectures using platforms and the use of question banks and other online active recall resources. A significant difference was found between time spent on online platforms before and during COVID-19, with 7.35% students before vs. 23.56% students during the pandemic spending >15 hours per week (p<0.05). The greatest perceived benefits of online teaching platforms included their flexibility. Whereas the commonly perceived barriers to utilising online teaching platforms included family distraction (26.76%) and poor internet connection (21.53%). Conclusions Online teaching has enabled the continuation of medical education during these unprecedented times. Moving forward from this pandemic, in order to maximise the benefits of both face-to-face and online teaching and to improve the efficacy of medical education in the future, we suggest medical schools resort to teaching formats such as team-based/problem-based learning. This utilises online teaching platforms allowing students to digest information in their own time but also allows students to then constructively discuss this material with peers. It has also been shown to be effective in terms of achieving learning outcomes. Beyond COVID-19, we anticipate further incorporation of online teaching methods within traditional medical education. This may accompany the observed shift in medical practice towards virtual consultations
