Confessions without guilt: public confessions of state violence in Turkey

Drawing on Austin’s speech act theory and on related theories of performativity and positioning, this article analyses the public confessions during the 1990s by three prominent state actors in Turkey about their direct involvement in state crimes against Kurds and left-wing political opponents. All three cases received significant media attention at the time. The aim of the article is not only to shed new light on those specific confessions by the perpetrators within the Turkish context, but also to develop further theoretical insights into the phenomenon of public confessions as such. Whilst confessions of this kind are often welcomed and portrayed as truth-statements that are cathartic and enable society to move forward, this analysis demonstrates that the reality is often more complex as the confessions in question tend to go hand in hand with a disavowal of individual responsibility by the perpetrators involved.

     

行为视角下新能源产业技术创新投入不足因素探究

从企业行为理论入手探索我国新能源产业技术创新投入不足的内部动因。建立新能源企业绩效比较与二元技术创新投入的概念模型,面板数据检验表明：当新能源企业当期绩效高于历史绩效或高于同行业企业同期绩效时,企业后期探索式创新投入和开发式创新投入将受到不同程度的抑制;企业行为理论对理解当前新能源产业技术创新投入不足现象有较好的解释力,既可丰富现有理论研究又有益于指导实践。     

Classical and Bayesian estimation of P(X<Y) using upper record values from Kumaraswamy’s distribution

In this paper, maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches have been used to obtain the estimation of \(P(X<Y)\) based on a set of upper record values from Kumaraswamy distribution. The existence and uniqueness of the maximum likelihood estimates of the Kumaraswamy distribution parameters are obtained. Confidence intervals, exact and approximate, as well as Bayesian credible intervals are constructed. Bayes estimators have been developed under symmetric (squared error) and asymmetric (LINEX) loss functions using the conjugate and non informative prior distributions. The approximation forms of Lindley (Trabajos de Estadistica 3:281–288, 1980) and Tierney and Kadane (J Am Stat Assoc 81:82–86, 1986) are used for the Bayesian cases. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the different proposed methods.     

A brief research note: helplessness, hopelessness, and haplessness as predictors of suicidal ideation: a cross-cultural study

Scales to measure helplessness and hopelessness were found to have good reliability and were significantly correlated with suicidal ideation in both Turkish and American respondents.     

A Generalization of the Univariate Slash by a Scale-Mixtured Exponential Power Distribution

A generalization of the slash distribution is derived using the scale mixture of the exponential power distribution. The newly defined family of distributions provides a rich flexibility on the tail heaviness and yields alternative robust estimators of location and scale in non normal situations. In order to investigate asymptotically the bias properties of the estimators, a simulation study is performed. The performance of the estimators on two well-known real data sets is also illustrated.     

On the performance of the Jackknifed Liu-type estimator in linear regression model

In this paper, we are proposing a modified jackknife Liu-type estimator (MJLTE) that was created by combining the ideas underlying both the Liu-type estimator (LTE) and the jackknifed Liu-type estimator (JLTE). We will also present the necessary and sufficient conditions for superiority of the MJLTE over the LTE and JLTE, in terms of mean square error matrix criterion. Finally, a real data example and a Monte Carlo simulation are also given to illustrate theoretical results.     

Some reliability characteristics and stochastic ordering of series and parallel systems of bivariate generalized exponential distribution

In this paper, the reliability properties of two-component parallel and series systems are considered for bivariate generalized exponential (BVGE) distribution introduced by Kundu and Gupta [Bivariate generalized exponential distribution. J Multivar Anal. 2009;100:581–593]. For this model, the moments and mean residual life functions of these systems and the regression mean residual life function are derived. Stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems of BVGE distribution are investigated. Moreover, various ordering results for the comparisons of series and parallel systems arising from BVGE random vectors are obtained with respect to the usual stochastic, reversed hazard rate and likelihood ratio orderings.

克92井区火山岩地层格架与岩相研究

火山喷溢具有成层性和韵律性。因此,火山活动期次是划分、对比火山岩地层的基本单位,期次的确定能够较好地解决新疆准噶尔盆地西北缘石炭系火山岩地层划分与对比问题。尝试性地利用岩性和电性特征统计结果,描述了火山岩期次变化规律,揭示了不同期次火山岩变化特征。并采用岩性组构分类方法开展了克92井区石炭系火山岩岩相研究,通过对火山岩岩石类型、火山物质搬运方式、火山作用产物及其配置关系研究,建立了火山岩岩相划分方法和分布模式,提出火山岩岩相由火山口亚相—近火山口亚相—熔岩台地亚相—火山沉积亚相和次一级微相组成;并在地层划分基础上描述了不同期次、不同火山口喷发物的岩性及空间分布范围。     

胡绳新民主主义革命时期党史研究述论

胡绳认为,新民主主义时期党史研究的重要目的是总结经验教训,为社会主义现代化建设提供有益的借鉴;要充分论证毛泽东思想的创造性,充分论证在新民主主义革命时期中共党内存在的＂左＂倾教条主义的危害性;研究新民主主义革命时期的党史一定要把中国近代社会作为重要的历史背景,党史研究必须要注意中国近代社会历史发展的全局。他提出要以现代化为线索来编写建国前历史的新框架,要重视对中间势力的研究;提出了可资利用的党史研究的方法和新民主主义革命时期研究的新论断,推进了新民主主义革命时期的党史研究。
