An Object-Oriented Language-Database Integration Model: The Composition-Filters Approach

This paper introduces a new model, based on so-called object-composition filters, that uniformly integrates database-like features into an object-oriented language. The focus is on providing persistent dynamic data structures, data sharing, transactions, multiple views and associative access, integrated with the object-oriented paradigm. The main contribution is that the database-like features are part of this new object-oriented model, and therefore, are uniformly integrated with object-oriented features such as data abstraction, encapsulation, message passing and inheritance. This approach eliminates the problems associated with existing systems such as lack of reusability and extensibility for database operations, the violation of encapsulation, the need to define specific types such as sets, and the incapability to support multiple views. The model is illustrated through the object-oriented language Sina

Domain Adaptation on Graphs by Learning Aligned Graph Bases

A common assumption in semi-supervised learning with graph models is that the class label function varies smoothly on the data graph, resulting in the rather strict prior that the label function has low-frequency content. Meanwhile, in many classification problems, the label function may vary abruptly in certain graph regions, resulting in high-frequency components. Although the semi-supervised estimation of class labels is an ill-posed problem in general, in several applications it is possible to find a source graph on which the label function has similar frequency content to that on the target graph where the actual classification problem is defined. In this paper, we propose a method for domain adaptation on graphs motivated by these observations. Our algorithm is based on learning the spectrum of the label function in a source graph with many labeled nodes, and transferring the information of the spectrum to the target graph with fewer labeled nodes. While the frequency content of the class label function can be identified through the graph Fourier transform, it is not easy to transfer the Fourier coefficients directly between the two graphs, since no one-to-one match exists between the Fourier basis vectors of independently constructed graphs in the domain adaptation setting. We solve this problem by learning a transformation between the Fourier bases of the two graphs that flexibly ``aligns'' them. The unknown class label function on the target graph is then reconstructed such that its spectrum matches that on the source graph while also ensuring the consistency with the available labels. The proposed method is tested in the classification of image, online product review, and social network data sets. Comparative experiments suggest that the proposed algorithm performs better than recent domain adaptation methods in the literature in most settings

THE EFFECT OF INSPIRATORY MUSCLE WARM-UP PROTOCOL ON ACCELERATION AND MAXIMAL SPEED IN 12-14 YEARS OLD CHILDREN

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the inspiratory muscle warm-up protocol on acceleration and maximal speed in children aged 12-14. Thirty sedentary boys (age: 12.63 ± 0.89 years) participated in the study. Participants were randomly included in 4 different trials (T1, T2, T3, T4). Acceleration (10m, 20m) and maximal speed tests (30m, 50m) were randomly tested at 10 minutes intervals in each trial. Acceleration and speed tests were performed without any warm-up in T1 trial, with general warm-up in T2 trial, placebo inspiratory muscle warm-up in T3 trial, and inspiratory muscle warm-up in T4 trial. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was seen that general warm-up (T2) and inspiratory muscle warm-up (T4) increased performance significantly compared to control (T1) and placebo (T3) trials in all acceleration and speed tests (

Cesarean scar pregnancy: A case report

Pregnancy implantation to the cesarean scar could be the life threatening, although it is a rare event, its ratio increased along with the increasing rate of cesarean delivery. Early diagnosis and treatment may be lifesaving with preserving fertility in these patients. In transvaginal ultrasonography; presence of an empty uterine and cervical cavity, lack of continuity of myometrial setting at the anterior isthmic region and pregnancy implantation to this region should suggest the diagnosis. In this article, we aimed to present a patient with scar ectopic pregnancy with the review of the literature

THE EFFECT OF 8 WEEKS FOLK DANCES TRAINING ON BALANCE REACTION TIME AND RHYTHM SESSION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-week folk dance education on balance, reaction time and rhythm session of university students. A total of 40 students aged 19-23 years were included in the study. Participants were divided into two groups. 20 students of them were determined as control group. The other groups performed basic folk dance training was given to the students as ninety minutes three days a week. Age, height, weight, balance, visual and auditory reaction time and rhythm session were measured in groups one day before and one day after the study. Isokinetic balance test was performed for balance measurement. The normal distribution test of the data obtained from the study was carried out with Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro Wilk tests. The data showed normal distribution according to the groups (p> 0.05). Paired t test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test values of auditory reaction time, visual reaction time, api, body weight, osi and mlı. McNemar test was used to analyze the pre-test and post-test of correlation between rhythm perception and performing skill scale. Statistical results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and p <0.05 significance level. It could be concluded that eight weeks folk dance education can improve the balance, reaction time and rhythm session and have positive effects of university students.  Article visualizations

THE EFFECT OF 4-WEEK TWO DIFFERENT STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAMS ON BODY COMPOSITION

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of the four-week two strength training program on the skin fold thickness and body fat percentage (BFP) characteristics according to the maximal strength and strength endurance principles. Sixteen male volunteers participated in the study. The subjects were divided into two groups as the maximal strength group (MSG, n=8, Age=24.00±3.78 year, Height=172.25±2.19 cm, Weight=75.13±6.60 kg) and the strength endurance group (SEG, n=8, Age=25.13±3.09 year, Height=173.38±2.62 cm, Weight=77.00±7.54 kg). 4 weeks training program was applied to maximal strength group according to maximal strength training principles and applied to strength endurance group according to strength endurance training principles. In both groups, body weight, body mass index (BMI), skin fold thickness (triceps, biceps, pectoral, subscapula, abdominal, suprailiac, femur anterior and posterior, calf) and body fat percentage measurements were taken one day before and after the 4 week period. Between pre-test and post-test of SEG group, significant change was showed in triceps, biceps, pectoral, subscapula, abdominal, suprailiac, femur anterior and posterior skin fold thickness measurements and VFM parameters (p < 0.05). Significant change was determined in pre-test and post-test of MSG group in triceps, pectoral, subscapula, abdominal, suprailiac, femur anterior skin fold thickness measurements and VFM parameters (p < 0.05). When the pre-post test differences of the groups were compared, no difference was found between MSG and SEG groups (p > 0.05). As a result, it can be said that 4-week maximal strength training and strength endurance training have positive effects on the skin fold thickness and body fat percentage parameters.  Article visualizations

ABSTRACT Philosophy of Enlightenment and Political Conservatism This study aims at giving an explanatory understanding of conservativism in regard to the philosophy of politics, and at discussing its place and future within our historical period. This study asserts that conservative philosophy of politics came about as a reaction against continental enlightenment, and became a political stance within French Revolution. This artical mainly considers the formation of conservative theory, and the relation between conservativism and the philosophy of enlightenment. Moreover, reactions to the philosophy of enlightenment arisen by religious, romantic and conservative thinkers have also been mentioned. Within the history of western thought, political conservativism emphasizes a serious tradition of thought, assumed to bear a rich philosophical heredity. Moreover, among modern philosophies of politics, it also stresses a highly comprehensive doctrine, and a philosophy of politics which has completely marked our historical period. Keywords: Conservativism, Philosophy of Enlightenment, Edmund Burke, French Revolution
