MAGiC: A multimodal framework for analysing gaze in dyadic communication

The analysis of dynamic scenes has been a challenging domain in eye tracking research. This study presents a framework, named MAGiC, for analyzing gaze contact and gaze aversion in face-to-face communication. MAGiC provides an environment that is able to detect and track the conversation partner’s face automatically, overlay gaze data on top of the face video, and incorporate speech by means of speech-act annotation. Specifically, MAGiC integrates eye tracking data for gaze, audio data for speech segmentation, and video data for face tracking. MAGiC is an open source framework and its usage is demonstrated via publicly available video content and wiki pages. We explored the capabilities of MAGiC through a pilot study and showed that it facilitates the analysis of dynamic gaze data by reducing the annotation effort and the time spent for manual analysis of video data

Haber Oyunları: Deneyimlenebilir Gerçeklik, Ludenik Haber Okuma, Amaç ve Normların Çatışması

Gazetecilik, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin gelişmesine bağlı olarak medya üretim çeşitliliğinin yakınsaklığından etkilenmektedir. Üretim ilişkilerinin katılımcı kültürü benimsemesi ve transmedya hikaye anlatıcılığının gazetecilik formlarında etkili olması haber anlatısını da dönüştürmüştür. Bu kapsamda eğlence (hazcı) ve bilgi edinme (faydacı) ihtiyaçlarının sektörel yakınsaklığı, haber oyunlarının üretimine ortam sağlamıştır. Bu derleme çalışmanın amacı gazetecilik motivasyonları ile oyun motivasyonlarının disiplinlerarası ilişkiler içerisinde ortaya çıkardığı haber oyunları; ludenik haber okuma teorisi ile temellendirerek üretim ve tüketim ilişkileri, anlatı yapısı, zamansallık, etik kaygılar, ideolojik şüpheler ve merhamet yorgunluğu kavramlarıyla tartışmaktır. Gazetecilik için yeni bir anlatı biçimi olan haber oyun üretim ortamlarında örtüşen amaçlar ve çatışan normlar bir aradadır. Bu anlamda alanyazında yer alan araştırmalarda haber oyunlarının; haberciliğe getireceği yenilik ve okuyucuya sağlayabileceği kazanımların, gerçeklik ve merhamete dair şüpheler ile karşı karşıya kalabileceği görülmüştür. Bu şüphelere rağmen haber oyunları, oyunların eğlenceli ya da deneyimlenebilir unsurlarını haber anlatısına dahil ederek ve gazeteciliğin niteliğini koruyarak, içerikteki titizliği biçimsel çekicilikle birleştiren etkili bir içerik üretim yoluna dönüşebilir

Estate accounting as a public policy tool and its application in the Ottoman Empire in the 17th century

In the Ottoman Empire under specific conditions estate settlements and distribution entered the domain of the legal system. These conditions can be summarized as any of the below: -The deceased owes money to the state, -The deceased has no inheritors, -There is a dispute between the inheritors, -When there are children who must be legally protected. The objective of this study is to give information about estate accounting in the Ottoman Empire and present a sample from the 17th century. In the Ottoman Empire estate accounting and settlement served to maintain social order by ensuring the continuation of debt-credit relationship even when one of the parties died and also by ensuring the rightful discharge of estates between those with rights to the estate.En el Imperio Otomano, bajo ciertas circunstancias, la herencia y adjudicación de los patrimo nios eran objeto de atención legal. Tal hecho se producía siempre que se daba una de las siguientes circunstancias: -El difunto debía dinero al estado. -El difunto no tenía herederos. -Existían discrepancias entre los herederos. -Había menores que debían ser protegidos legalmente. Este estudio pretende informar sobre la contabilidad sucesoria en el Imperio Otomano, presentando una muestra originaria del siglo XVII. En el Imperio Otomano, la contabilidad sucesoria y la liquidación de herencias servía para mantener el orden social, asegurando la pervivencia de las deudas cuando una de las partes fallecía, así como el debido pago a terceros con derecho a bienes pertenecientes al patrimonio objeto de la herencia. &nbsp

Kronik miyeloid lösemi tedavi dozunda Nilotinib’in gonadotoksik etkilerinin fare modelinde gösterilmesi

Objective: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors may have deleterious effects on spermatogenesis or folliculogenesis, resulting in male or female subfertility. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nilotinib, which is used routinely to treat chronic myeloid leukemia, on spermatogenesis and folliculogenesis by using histopathological parameters. Materials and Methods: Ten male and ten female mice were orally treated with nilotinib at 20 mg/kg body weight dissolved in drinking water daily for 2 months. Results: When compared with the control group, a statistically significant decrease was demonstrated in the total follicle numbers of the female mice in the nilotinib group (268±110 vs. 170±60; p=0.03). Active spermatogenesis was observed in each tubule sample taken from the mice in the control and nilotinib groups. Spermatogenic activity was similar in the two groups. Conclusion: We have demonstrated that even though spermatogenesis is preserved, folliculogenesis is inhibited by the usage of a continuous nilotinib treatment dose in chronic myeloid leukemia

Is intraoperative bleeding control useful after tourniquet release in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?

BackgroundArthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common orthopedic surgery, and rehabilitation is very important to achieve successful postoperative results. Postoperative hemarthrosis causes pain and limitation of movement, which prolongs the rehabilitation period. For these reasons, various strategies are used to reduce hemarthrosis in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of bleeding control after releasing the tourniquet in ACL reconstruction surgery on the amount of hemarthrosis and pain in the postoperative period.MethodologyA total of 60 patients who underwent arthroscopic single-bundle ACL reconstruction were enrolled in this prospective randomized control study. Bleeding control with the radiofrequency (RF) probe after releasing the tourniquet was done at the end of the arthroscopic ACL reconstruction in 30 patients (coagulation group) while bleeding control was not done for the other 30 patients (control group). Both groups were compared in terms of the degree of hemarthrosis using the Coupens and Yates classification in the early postoperative period and the degree of pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score and postoperative complications.ResultsIn both groups, isolated ACL reconstruction was performed in 10 patients, additional partial meniscectomy in three patients, and additional arthroscopic meniscus repair in 17 patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the coagulation and control groups in terms of VAS (p > 0.05) and the degree of hemarthrosis (p > 0.05). Although the duration of tourniquet application was similar in both groups (p = 0.78), the duration of anesthesia was significantly longer in the coagulation group (p = 0.001). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of postoperative complications.ConclusionsBleeding control with the RF probe after tourniquet release does not yield superior outcomes. More research with larger populations is needed to confirm these findings

Epilepsy in vacuolating megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts

AbstractVacuolating megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a disorder characterised by acquired macrocephaly, developmental motor delay of varying degrees, slowly progressive cerebellar and pyramidal signs, and initially preserved intellectual function. More than 60% of the published cases had epileptic seizures.In this study, we analysed the seizures and EEG findings of nine patients with MLC. Six patients (66.6%) with moderate to severe neurological impairment had epilepsy, four with partial and two with generalised seizures. The EEG of five epileptic patients revealed epileptogenic foci over the temporal, frontal and parietal regions with variable predominance during waking and sleep. The facilitation of spike-and-wave paroxysms by eye closure, by intermittent photic stimulation and by hyperventilation were determined in four patients. Four patients also showed abnormalities in the background activity. In conclusion, we think that epilepsy is a significant component of MLC compared to the other leukodystrophies. The elucidation of the underlying molecular defect may explain the unusual pathogenetic relation between this leukoencephalopathy and the associated seizures

İkinci uygulamada ise aynı özelliklerdeki test parçalan tecrübeli bir kaynak teknisyeni tarafından manüel olarak birleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada her iki uygulama için, kaynak bölgesine çekme-makaslama testleri ve soyulma direnci testleri yapılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde makinenin istenilen şekilde çalıştığı saptanmıştır. Sistem de uygulanan akım, gerilim ve kaynak basıncı sabit tutulduğu için gerçekleştirilen birleştirmelerde ölçülen çekme-makaslama ve çekme-soyulma dirençlerinde büyük farklılıklar ölçülmemiştir. Kaynak yöntemi, çekme-makaslama ve çekme-soyulma dirençleri arasındaki ilişki önemli bulunmuştur. Anahtar kelimeler: Elektrik direnç nokta kaynağı, pnömatik, kaynak bölgesi, çekme-soyulma testi, basınçIn this research; manual electrical resistance spot welding machine which is used in manufacturing of agricultural machineries fit to automation by revised. Pneumatic cylinder and valve were used in the modification process from mechanical control to automation. System can be adjusted for a determined welding pressure and time. St37 sheet iron in 2 mm thickness were connected under the condition of 6 bar pressure, 4 sec. welding period and 8 kVA apparent power established by electrode in modified welding machine. Second test was realized by an experienced welder for same test conditions. Both for research applications, the tensile-shear and peel resistance tests applied on the weld zone and the tests results compared. According to the results; it is determined that the modified welding machine worked well for adjusted conditions. There are no big differences for measured tensile strength and tensile peel resistance because applied current, voltage, and pressure were constant during the welding in the tests. Relationships between welding methods and tensile shear and tensile peel resistance was found significan

Link between angiographic extent and severity of coronary artery disease and degree of sensorineural hearing loss

Aims. Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that can affect the whole arterial tree. An important cause of neuronal degeneration is atherosclerosis, which may lead to sensorineural hearing loss. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the angiographic severity and extent of coronary artery disease, which is a surrogate of atherosclerotic burden, and the degree of sensorineural hearing loss.Patients and methods. Out of 381 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography for symptoms suggesting ischemic heart disease and who had ischemia detected by a noninvasive stress test, 265 patients [mean age, 61.5±13.0 years; median age (25th–75th percentile), 59 years (50.5–67)], including 146 male (55.1%) subjects met the eligibility criteria and were enrolled. Audiological measurements (hearing levels and discrimination scores) were performed before the coronary angiography. The Gensini score was calculated for each angiogram.Results. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the degree of hearing loss at all frequencies analyzed (250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000 Hz) and the Gensini score (p<0.05 for all frequencies), which remained significant after adjustment according to age and other risk factors. A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between the Gensini score and the speech discrimination score (p<0.05).Conclusion. The findings of this study suggest that the angiographic severity and extent of coronary artery disease are significantly and independently correlated with the degree of hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss was more prominent in patients with higher Gensini scores. We propose that the findings of this study warrant further research and should be verified in large-scale studies
