This article provides a historical perspective on the famous Chekhovian story that has been previously viewed only as a story of love with the main focus on characters’ psychology. The new approach refers to a historical climate in Russian in the end of 19 century when religion lost its primary value. The conflict between the main characters is interpreted as a conflict between religious and secular mentality. Chekhov talks about a tendency of changing values in society, when the natural man’s mentality dominates the sacramental sphere, declares its morality false, ridiculous and even harmful. Gurov cannot understand Anna Sergeevna’s repentance, because he gravitates towards the progressive pole. The institution of marriage is not sacred for him, and, like for many of his contemporaries, a church wedding ceremony is no more than just a beautiful ritual. Just as another Chekhovian character, Voinitsky, Gurov doesn’t consider cheating on a spouse a great sin. He is a man of modern tendencies. For him, God is an abstract, mythical, speculative, philosophical concept not applicable to his own life that he lives in accordance with the tendencies of a secular society. Critics often associate the image of the dog with Anna Sergeevna, but in reality it is connected rather to Gurov. First of all, the sex of the dog is male, not female (Spitz is a male). Also, in the story, the dog loves his owner, Anna Sergeevna, but he could never understand the reason for her sadness. In the same way, Gurov, though being in love with Anna Sergeevna, would never understand fully what makes her so upset.

This article is concerned with the philosophical concept of the tragic and its affinity withancient Greek tragedy. It investigates this notion from two different perspectives. First, itfocuses on the revival of the idea of the tragic in the - mainly German - philosophy ofthe late modern era, namely those of Kant, Schelling, Hegel and their critics. Secondlythis notion is used as a stepping stone towards a general cultural-historical perspective onthe nature of Greek tragedy. This trajectory leads to the conclusion that the traditional gapbetween abstract, philosophical reflection on the tragic and concrete, philologicalresearch on Greek tragedy is not as big as commonly supposed.

This article focuses on two similar examples of melodramas which are representations of the general aesthetic tendency during the genesis of Yeşilçam period (1948-1959) of the Turkish cinema. This work aims to prove that in the aforementioned era, critical discourse which categorizes, names and classifies movies, imposed the practice of de-genrification for Three Friends and Port of the Lonely. To accomplish this aim, an analysis of comparative critical reception should be done in the first stage. Secondly esthetics analysis for those two movies of the same hybrid genre (melodrama), must be presented.    The hypothesis of the article is that, traditional Turkish cinema historiography which based on the repetition of director centered critical discourse will become outdated, if a new approach   that focuses on film genres is approved. Analyzing those two melodramatic and realist movies which are chosen as samples from an historical perspective, and placing them rightly in the tradition of Turkish Cinema, will only be possible with a developed method which cross-reads multiple primary sources and contextualize the critical discourse on the melodrama genre.   ÖzetBu makale, Türk sinemasının Yeşilçam döneminin oluşum aşamasında (1948-1959) genel estetik eğilimi temsil eden tür sineması içinde hâkim konumda olan melodram türünün iki benzer örneğine odaklanır. Çalışmanın amacı sinema türlerini isimlendiren, tasnif eden ve ayırt eden dönemin eleştirel söyleminin Üç Arkadaş ve Yalnızlar Rıhtımı melodramları söz konusu olduğunda türsüzleştirme uygulaması yaptığını kanıtlamaktır.  Bunun için ilk aşamada söz konusu filmlerin karşılaştırmalı eleştirel alımlama çözümlemeleri yapılır. İkinci olarak da, aynı melez türe (melodram) giren bu iki filmin estetik çözümlemelerine yer verilir.Makalenin varsayımı, ancak tür sineması gerçeğini temel alan yeni bir yaklaşımın onaylanması halinde eleştirel söylemi genel hatlarıyla tekrar eden yönetmen merkezli geleneksel Türk sinema tarihyazımının aşılacağı yönündedir. Örneklem olarak seçilen bu iki melodramatik gerçekçi filmin tarihsel açıdan açıklanıp Türk sinema geleneği içindeki yerlerine oturtulması ancak çoklu birincil kaynakları kesiştiren ve melodram türü hakkındaki eleştirel söylemi bağlamlaştıran gelişkin bir yöntemle söz konusu olabilir.

Shock Isolation

This paper presents a new approach for quantifying the mitigation achieved by a passive marine shock isolation seat. A brief historical perspective is summarized to explain why common myths have evolved that has led to seats being integrated into craft only to find out during subsequent seakeeping trials that the seats provide little to no mitigation or that they actually amplify wave impact loads. Acceleration data is presented to demonstrate use of the new computational method and the lessons learned are explained in terms that support development of a standard for laboratory seat testing.

Four Levels

The topic of urban transformations has attracted the attention of researchers as it is one of the basic issues through which cities can be transformed towards sustainability. A specific level of transformation levels according to a philosophical concept known as a crossing. This article has relied on a specific methodology that aims to find a new approach for urban transformation based on the crossing concept. This concept derives from philosophical entrances based on the concepts of (being, process, becoming, and integration). Four levels have been for the crossing are (normal, ascending, leap, and descending). Each of these levels includes specific characteristics that distinguish it. The results showed that there is no descending crossing in the study area and that four indicators that have achieved leap crossing are: (coverage ratio, compactness, Effectiveness of the pedestrian and bicycle movement, and proximity. As for ascending crossing achieved in three indicators are: mix land use, blocks' length, and connectivity, as for normal crossing achieved in three indicators are: diversity of building heights, population density, and housing density. These results help in making the planning decision to transform traditional Karbala city into a sustainable city, by giving priority in development to the indicators that have achieved ascending crossing because it takes less time and effort to reach the leap crossing in comparison with indicators that have achieved normal crossing.

During 'cyclic' historical periods it would be correct to interpret religious processes in terms of interaction of two essentially different, but substantially, structurally and functionally comparative types of integrating cultural complexes that, in historical perspective, compete with each other on the effect on individuals and society in general. Such complexes represent secular and religious culture. Contemporary socio-cultural situation can be defined as an asymmetric representativeness of both secular and religious cultures. In a modern secular society, dominance of a secular culture over a religious one can be manifested in three basic dimensions: substantial, regulative and subjective ones. Secular culture is adopted during the primary socialization process. However, religious culture is still adopted through conscious, voluntary selection in younger or more mature age. It may be possible to determine two basic attitudes of the contemporary ('secularized') man towards religion. The first attitude may be called 'reversive' and the other one 'conversive'.

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.
