Glass has been used to make a variety of artifacts including bottles, drinking cups, vessels, window glasses, beads and bracelets. Although occasional glass bracelets were dated back to 2000 BC, large scale manufacture of glass bracelets was encountered in Central Europe in the last centuries of 1000BC. During the excavations of Mezraa H&ouml / y&uuml / k (Birecik-Sanliurfa) in 2000-20002, a number of glass bracelets were unearthed that belongs to 13th century AD. On going excavations of Mersin Yumuktepe also give quite a lot of 11th-12th centuries Byzantine glass bracelets. In this study a group of those bracelets was started to be examined. After technical drawings, color identification had been carried out by using Munsell color chart. Thin sections of some samples of Mezraa H&ouml / y&uuml / k have been prepared and then observed by an optical microscope in Mineral Research and Exploration (MTA). Observation of thin sections showed the amorphous structure of glass with some impurities and gas bubbles. On some samples deteriorated surface layers were present. XRD traces of those layers showed the typical amorphous background of glass in which no crystalline phase is present. Elemental analysis of the samples has been done using ICP-OES method in METU Central Laboratory. In the analysis major (except SiO2), minor and some trace elements were determined. ICP-OES data showed that glass bracelet samples studied are of soda-lime-silica glass. But percentage of Na2O is less than expected from typical composition of soda-lime-silica glass / being 10.5 wt % as average. This might be due to removal of Na ions from the glass network because of leaching under burial conditions. Concentration of Al2O3 in the samples of Mezraa H&ouml / y&uuml / k is almost same. This may be due to the using one type of quartz sand in bracelet production. Color producing elements seem to be Fe, Mn and Cu.

Apresentando-se na cena política com um caráter de frente popular e democrática, a ANL, após a promulgação da constituição de 1934, atraiu para suas fileiras diferentes grupos sociais que lutavam por garantia e ampliação de direitos sociais, configurando-se em uma agremiação de massa. Porém, a condução que comunistas e tenentes deram ao movimento serviu de justificativa para o desencadeamento da repressão que recaiu sobre amplos setores da sociedade brasileira, abreviando as promessas e a experiência da ANL. This dissertation aims to analyze the movement of the National Libertarian Alliance related to the Brazilian politics in the years between 1934 to 1937. National Libertarian Alliance presents itself in a political scene with a democratic and popular front character and after the promulgation of the constitution in 1934 has attracted different social groups to its rows. They fought for the guarantee and magnifying of their social rights, configuring a mass grouping. However, the direction given to the movement by communists and lieutenants has been a justification to a chain reaction, the repression, that fell upon ample sectors of the Brazilian society, abreviating the promises and the experience of the National Libertarian Alliance.

This study examined the effects of extending high-frequency bandwidth, for both a speech signal and a background noise, on the acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of listeners with mild sensorineural hearing loss through utilization of the Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) procedure. In addition to extending high-frequency bandwidth, the effects of reverberation time and background noise type and shape were also examined. The study results showed a significant increase in the mean ANL (i.e. participants requested a better SNR for an acceptable listening situation) when high-frequency bandwidth was extended from 3 to 9 kHz and from 6 to 9 kHz. No change in the ANL of study participants was observed as a result of isolated modification to reverberation time or background noise stimulus. An interaction effect, however, of reverberation time and background noise stimulus was demonstrated. These findings may have implications for future design of hearing aid memory programs for listening to speech in the presence of broadband background noise.

In Turkey, although there are many similar implemented or ongoing conservation interventions, some of historic city centers are in better condition than other ones in terms of urban conservation. Conservation discourse describes the conservation of historic city centers as a shared and sustaining responsibility of various actors. At that point, locality is essential because of near and directs relations with historic environment. However, there are basic problems to develop a synergy based on shared responsibilities of local actors in historic centers. Therefore, the study focuses on the question of &ldquo / What is the role of local conservation capacity in the maintenance of historic city centers as a governance process&rdquo / . The study essentially discusses two issues, local conservation capacity, which is determined as an amalgam term of capabilities of local authority and local community, and urban maintenance, which is used in widening context to determines not only rehabilitation projects, but also interventions of local community let to survive of historic buildings. The method of the study is established as a comparative structure bases on case study researches. Comparisons are made between varying levels of local conservation capacity to determine their relations with success in urban maintenance. As a result, in defined context, the historic city centers of Gaziantep and Sanliurfa are studied as case study areas to evaluate success in urban maintenance as a function of local governance in terms of local conservation capacity.

Devido a diferentes contextos, pode-se entender, igualmente, que diferentes motivos podem determinar a origem de cada um destes conflitos. O primeiro destes grandes confrontos se deu entre membros da Ação Integralista Brasileira (AIB) e Aliança Libertadora Nacional (ANL), em 1935. Foram diversos enfrentamentos, envolvendo vários de militantes, registrados em diferentes pontos do país. Considere-se, porém, que embora houvesse causas comuns que motivavam a oposição entre as siglas em todo território nacional, havia também fatores locais, que diferenciavam as características deste enfrentamento de acordo com o cenário em que ele se desenvolvia. Partindo desta hipótese, a presente pesquisa toma como objeto os eventos relacionados ao enfrentamento AIB-ANL na cidade de Petrópolis (RJ). Foi, simultaneamente, um importante pólo para a militância integralista e, igualmente, um importante centro para a atuação da Aliança. Considera-se, aqui, que tanto a mobilização quanto as ações dos militantes foram, de alguma maneira, bastante distintas das formas de enfrentamento observadas em outros pontos do país, especialmente no tocante à greve geral que se seguiu à morte de um militante aliancista. / The confrontation between antagonistic militant groups is a phenomenon present in several moments of Brazilian political history, especially in the republican period. Due to different contexts, it can also be understood that different reasons can determine the origin of each of these conflicts. The first of these greats clashes occurred between members of the Ação Integralista Brasileira (AIB) and the Aliança Nacional Libertadora (ANL) in 1935. There were several clashes, involving many militants, registered in different parts of the country. It consider, however, that although there had common causes that motivated the opposition between the groups throughout the national territory, there were also local factors, which differentiated the characteristics of this confrontation according to the scenario in which it developed. Based on this hypothesis, this research takes as object the events related to the AIB-ANL confrontation in the city of Petrópolis (RJ). It was, simultaneously, an important pole for integralist militancy and also an important center for the ANL's activities. It is considered here that both the mobilization and the actions of the militants were in some way quite different from the forms of confrontation observed in other parts of the country, especially regarding the general strike that followed the death of a ANL militant.
