Approach for siting a support facility for transporting supplies in emergency cases in the Republic of Bulgaria
No full textIn this paper, the author determines the most suitable transportation location for intervention in a large scale disaster in the Republic of Bulgaria, by means of the Weber Problem and the Weiszfeld method. The objective is to minimise the cost of transporting emergency supplies across the country by locating a support facility, and thus reaching the area of event at the lowest possible cost. A brief description of the Weiszfeld method is provided in the paper. Further, using recent population data of both provinces and municipalities, the method is applied respectively to obtain the results. They were compared in terms of spatial correspondence and the final facility location was fixed. Erecting the supply site is recommended to help decrease the losses
Bibliometric analysis of the results of Reiki research
No full textIntroduction: This study analyses bibliometric indicators to assess global research trends on Reiki, including publication patterns and key contributing countries. Methods: The publications included in Web of Science (WOS) databases between 1970 and 2024 were reviewed. The WOS database was searched using TS= “REIKI” and all WOS indexes were included. This search identified 414 studies. Among them, letters (n = 7), editorial materials (n = 19), book reviews (n = 9), corrections (n = 2), art and poetry (n = 1), news (n = 1), and retracted publications (n = 1) were removed. The remaining 374 articles were included in this bibliometric analysis. The R-package for bibliometric analysis (Bibliometrix) was used. Results: The bibliometric analysis found that researchers published Reiki-related studies between 1983 and 2024, with a publication growth rate of 4.47 %. On average, articles were 9.5 years old and received 13 citations per document. The total number of keywords identified by the authors was 553, the number of authors in the articles was 1124 authors, the number of single-author articles was 70, the average number of publications per author was 3.5, and international co-authorships were 7.219 %. The USA, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Turkiye were the top five countries that published on Reiki, respectively. The USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Turkiye were the top five countries with the most cited articles, respectively. Vitale A. is the most cited author. Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine is the most cited journal. Conclusion: This study is the first of its kind to evaluate the articles written by researchers in the field of Reiki only. Despite the difficulties researchers experienced in the field of Reiki, the studies have increasingly been conducted in this field over the years and have been cited studies more. This study may be helpful for researchers to determine productive countries, journals, authors, and emerging trends in Reiki by providing comprehensive analyses and structured information on this subject. © 202
Religious thought: Its religious economy, transformation, and future
No full text& Idot;shak Arslan's book titled Din Dusuncesi is a distinctive and original study compared to other works on religion in Turkish literature. Rather than focusing on religion itself, Arslan employs the concept of the "religious," which he defines as a form of generalized economy between the individual and the community. According to the author, the religious is structured around a "triadic spiral" composed of sacrifice, moderation, and hope. This triad distinguishes the religious from other forms of belief and spirituality. The book discusses the relationship between religion and economy, the functions of rituals, and the transformation of religion in the modern era. While presenting hedonism as the strongest rival to religion, it does not consider atheism or deism as genuine alternatives. This review highlights certain criticisms but emphasizes that Din D & uuml;& scedil;& uuml;ncesi makes an original and creative contribution to the literature
Performance of the Whale Optimization Algorithm in Space Steel Frame Optimization Problems
No full textInternational Conference on Harmony Search, Soft Computing and Applications (6. : 2020 : Istanbul, Turkey)Frame optimization that contains highly non-linear and irregular functions and discrete design variables is one of the most challenging optimization problems. Therefore, gradient-based optimization techniques cannot be successful in such problems. Metaheuristic techniques, especially population-based metaheuristic techniques, perform highly effective in solving the frame optimization problem. However, stochastic processes’ performances included in metaheuristic techniques vary based on the problem. Accordingly, researches on the performance of novel metaheuristic techniques on challenging engineering problems continue. One of the novel metaheuristic techniques is the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) which is inspired by the bubble-net feeding behavior of humpback whales. The aim of this study is testing the performance of WOA for space steel frame optimization problems. For this purpose, WOA-cased frame optimization program will be developed. Benchmark frame structures are selected to compare optimum solutions with literature results. © 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.No sponso
Effects of curvature-Higgs coupling on electroweak fine-tuning
No full textAbstractIt is shown that nonminimal coupling between the Standard Model (SM) Higgs field and spacetime curvature, present already at the renormalizable level, can be fine-tuned to stabilize the electroweak scale against power-law ultraviolet divergences. The nonminimal coupling acts as an extrinsic stabilizer with no effect on the loop structure of the SM, if gravity is classical. This novel fine-tuning scheme, which could also be interpreted within Sakharov's induced gravity approach, works neatly in extensions of the SM involving additional Higgs fields or singlet scalars
Evaluation of Spiritual Care and Well-Being Levels of Individuals Diagnosed with Lung Cancer in Turkey
No full textThis study aimed to assess the spiritual care needs and spiritual well-being levels of lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (CT). This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 110 patients in the outpatient CT unit of a university hospital. Data were collected using a personal information form, the “Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale” and the “Spiritual Care Needs Scale.” The average age of participants was 62.6 ± 8.0 years. Patients with a university or above education level, civil servants, self-employed individuals, those receiving only CT, and those with less than 5 CT cycles had significantly higher spiritual well-being scores (p < 0.05). Spiritual care needs scale scores were significantly higher for married individuals and those receiving only CT (p < 0.05). In conclusion, both spiritual well-being levels and spiritual care needs were observed to be high among lung cancer patients. © The Author(s) 2024
Antoine Volodine'in yapıtlarında post-egzotik yaklaşım
No full text"Antoine Volodine'in Yapıtlarında Post-Egzotik Yaklaşım" başlıklı bu tez, yazarın farklı adlarla yayımladığı Ecrivains, Les Aigles Puent, Bardo or not Bardo, Le Post-Exotisme En Dix Leçons, Leçon Onze, Melekler Gezegeni (Des Anges Mineurs), Nos animaux préférés, Vue sur l'ossuaire, Dondog ve Onzes Rêves de Suie adlı yapıtlarından yola çıkarak, bilinen dünyanın ötesinde kendine ve kendisinin yarattığı diğer yazarlara ait düşsel bir evren yaratan yazarın, post-egzotik olarak nitelendirdiği yazın kuramını açımlamaya çalışmaktadır. Özgün ve sıra dışı çizgisi ile çağdaş Fransız yazın dünyasında farkındalık yaratan Volodine, farklı yazar kimlikleri ile kaleme aldığı tuhaf ve anlaşılması güç yapıtlarını tanımlamak için post-egzotik sıfatını kullanır. Post-egzotik yazarlar topluluğuna ait yazarların imzasını taşıyan anlatıları, insanlığın sonunu hazırlayan karanlık XX. yüzyılın kolektif hafızasından beslenir. Shaggå, narrat, entrevoûte ya da novelle, romånce gibi özgün tür adları verdiği post-egzotik anlatıları, toplumsal bilinçaltının derinliklerinde yatan acı gerçekleri gün yüzüne çıkartır.Birçok post-egzotik yazarın imzasını üstlenen Volodine, post-egzotik yazının kuramsal niteliğindeki yapıtı Le Post-exotisme En Dix Leçons, Leçon Onze'da ayrıntılı olarak post-egzotik yazının türsel ve biçimsel özelliklerinden söz eder.AbstractThe present thesis, entitled "The Post-exotic Approach in the Works of Antoine Volodine", focuses in order to disclose on the literary theory that the French writer developed and qualified as "post-exotic", while creating an imaginary universe of his own and of other writers that he also invented based on his writings Ecrivains, Les Aigles Puent, Bardo or not Bardo, Le Post-Exotisme En Dix Leçons, Leçon Onze, Des Anges Mineurs, Nos animaux préférés, Vue sur l'ossuaire, Dondog and Onzes Rêves de Suie, which he published under different pseudonyms. Volodine, who established a new type of awareness in contemporary French literature with his genuine and extraordinary style, uses the term "post-exotic" to define his peculiar and complicated works that he created under different author identities. His narratives, which carry the signatures of imaginary post-exotic authors, are fed by the collective memory of the dark twentieth century that demolished the humankind. His post-exotic writings, which he calls as Shaggå, narrat, entrevoûte or novelle, romånce, uncover the harsh reality that lies in the depths of social unconsciousness.Volodine, who takes over many different identities of post-exotic writers, discusses the thematic and structural characteristics of the post-exotic literature in detail in his Le Post-exotisme En Dix Leçons, Leçon Onze, which is actually considered to be the theoretical work of the post-exotic literature
Tracing the post(apartheid) novel beyond 2000 : interviews with selected contemporary South African authors /
No full textThis anthology comprises of interviews with contemporary South African authors, offering vignettes of their lives and summaries of their works. In curating this book, Danyela Demir and Olivier Moreillon step beyond pure literary theory and analysis. They welcome the authors to speak and assess the literary panorama in which they live and co-create. However, Demir and Moreillon also trace concepts and terms that describe the current South African literature, such as post-transitional literature and literature beyond 2000. By adopting a world-literary approach to (post)apartheid literature, this book contributes to debates on contemporary South African writing. In addition, Tracing the (Post)Apartheid Novel Beyond 2000 seeks to raise awareness of the imbalance in both critical and public attention between literary big names', such as Andr P. Brink, J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer and Zakes Mda, who are popular worldwide, and the younger and newer generation of South African writers, who go largely unnoticed.
