Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Vasyl Vasyliovych Ovsienko (Ukrainian: Васи́ль Васи́льович Овсіє́нко; 8 April 1949 – 19 June 2023) was a Ukrainian writer, human rights activist, and Soviet dissident who worked as a member of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group and founded the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group. |
|
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | Vasyl Vasyliovych Ovsienko was born into a peasant family on 8 April 1949 in the village of Lenino (now Stavky [uk]) in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union. He was the ninth and youngest surviving child in his family. His father had received two years of education, while his mother had received no formal education and was illiterate. His maternal family was descended from members of the Polish szlachta. At an early age, Ovsienko became captivated by literature, writing poetry. Some of his works were published in the local Star of Polesia newspaper. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | Ovsienko first came into contact with ethnographer Vasyl Skurativskyi [uk] in the mid-1960s, and was introduced to the Sixtiers political movement from him. He was further introduced to the samizdat of Vasyl Symonenko in 1965, while studying at philology at Kyiv State University. He helped to propagate samizdat as a student and afterwards as a teacher in the village of Tashan. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | With the beginning of the 1972 Ukrainian purge, the leaders of the Sixtier were arrested and reform-minded Petro Shelest was removed as First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Ovsienko continued to publish samizdat alongside Vasyl Lisovyi [uk] and Yevhen Proniuk. Proniuk and Lisovyi were both arrested in summer 1972, while Ovsienko was arrested on 5 March 1973. Threatened with punitive psychiatry, Ovsienko gave up the names of individuals he had given samizdat. He was sentenced to four years' imprisonment. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | During his first sentence (spent in Mordovia) Ovsienko became acclimated with other political prisoners, and had begun participating in hunger strikes and prison strikes within a year of his term. He left prison on 9 February 1977, met with Lisovyi in Zhytomyr, and returned to Lenino a month later. Following his return to Lenino Ovsienko created a makeshift radio antenna and used it to obtain broadcasts from the Ukrainian-language service of Radio Liberty. After hearing about the founding of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group in a Radio Liberty broadcast, Ovsienko spread the news to close friends. He also again began publishing samizdat, this time publishing the poetry of Vasyl Stus. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | Ovsienko was again arrested in November of that year. Ovsienko was charged with resisting arrest, including insulting an officer and ripping two buttons from his jacket, and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. The 1977 arrest occurred after he had met with Ukrainian Helsinki Group activists Oksana Meshko and Olha Babych (sister of imprisoned activist Serhii Babych [uk]), and both Meshko and Babych were also arrested shortly after the meeting. Amnesty International later argued in 1982 that the charges against Ovsienko were false. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | Ovsienko spent his second sentence in prisons in Ukraine's Zhytomyr and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts. While imprisoned, he joined the Ukrainian Helsinki Group in 1978. Six months before his release he was once again sentenced, this time to further charges of anti-Soviet agitation for openly discussing the Holodomor. He was placed in the Perm-36 labour colony, with unsanitary and crowded conditions. In Perm-36 he was imprisoned alongside individuals convicted for involvement in the Dymshits–Kuznetsov hijacking affair. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | As part of the Perestroika reforms promoted by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, Ovsienko, along with all other political prisoners in Perm-36, was moved to the Perm-35 prison on 8 December 1987. Ovsienko was urged to write a statement providing grounds for a pardon, but refused (along with several other political prisoners) out of the belief that he had been wrongfully convicted. He was pardoned a year later in spite of his refusal to write a statement, being among the final five to be released (alongside Mykola Horbal, Ivan Kandyba, M. Alekseyev, and Enn Tarto. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | On 21 August 1988 Ovsienko boarded a plane from Perm to Kyiv. Originally intended to be sent to Lukyanivska Prison, he was instead imprisoned at the KGB headquarters. A day later, he was released and allowed to return to Zhytomyr, and from there reached Lenino. He returned to Perm-36 a year later to participate in the reburials of Vasyl Stus, Yuriy Lytvyn, and Oleksa Tykhy, who had all died during their sentences at the prison. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | Following his release Ovsienko continued to be active in the human rights scene of Ukraine. With the Ukrainian Helsinki Group's legalisation in 1988 he was appointed as head of the group's branch in Zhytomyr Oblast. However, he failed to establish a chapter of the Helsinki Group or the People's Movement of Ukraine in his native village. In 1994 an apartment was purchased for him by his supporters, and further monetary aid was provided by Mykhailo Horyn and John Kolasky [uk]. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | In the late 1990s he organised expeditions to Sandarmokh and the Solovetsky Islands, where mass killings had occurred during the Great Purge. In the early 2000s, along with Yevgen Zakharov, Ovsienko wrote a four-volume compendium of dissidents in the Eastern Bloc, including around 200 Ukrainian political prisoners. |
Vasyl Ovsienko | 75,684,108 | Biography | Ovsienko died on 19 July 2023. |

Inallu (tribe) | 75,684,223 | Inallu, also spelled Inanlu or Aynallu (Persian: اینللو), is an Oghuz tribe inhabiting Azerbaijan, central Iran, and Fars. |
|
Inallu (tribe) | 75,684,223 | Etymology | According to Vladimir Minorsky, the name of the tribe is rooted in the Turkic term īnāl or yenāl. Minorsky proposed that the name indicates the tribe originally sprang from the family and retinue of Ibrahim Inal, who was the half-brother of Tughril I. Many centuries later, when the tribe became part of Shahsevan, its name evolved into Īmānlū, meaning 'with iman (faith)', and Īnānlū, which derives from the Turkic verb inan (to believe). Minorsky further suggested that the form Aynallū attested by the early 1800s was related to the term āʾīnalū (lit. 'having mirrors'), which referred to the Werndl–Holub rifle. |

Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | The Ocaya-Yakuphanoğlu method (OYM) is a generalized method proposed in 2021 for analyzing the Schottky diode equation within the thermionic emission (TE) model in the presence of appreciable series resistance, R s {\displaystyle R_{s}} , with the express purpose of extracting the parameters of the diode. The method is applicable for metal-semiconductor (MS), metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM), metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) diodes. It relies on a group theory approach to address this complex problem, yielding an accessible algorithm for empirical data analysis. The OYM posits the existence of an inherent symmetry in semiconductor current-voltage (IV) curves that leads to a reduction of the Schottky diode equation. |
|
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | In group theory, Emmy Noether's first theorem establishes a connection between conservative forces and symmetries in systems. On the outset, the search for symmetry is a non-trivial, and typically mathematically abstract, endeavor. This fact alone has traditionally led many to avoid it, although the final results can reveal an underlying, and basically simple symmetry, and yet powerful in its applications. |
|
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | OYM sets out to identify this symmetry, which is suggested by the visual similarity in the I-V characteristic series of a given device. Then, it demonstrates that the symmetry exists and depends strongly on the instantaneous value of R s {\displaystyle R_{s}} . The Schottky equation is then simplified to a form that does not contain R s {\displaystyle R_{s}} by adjusting the applied bias term. Consequently, more accurate calculations of barrier height, Φ {\displaystyle \Phi } and diode ideality factor, n {\displaystyle n} , are then realized through the TE model. Symmetry analysis, though traditionally associated with abstract mathematics, offers a practical means of solving ordinary differential equations by systematically varying infinitesimal parameters. |
|
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | OYM hypothesis | The diode current I {\displaystyle I} in a Schottky diode in the presence of appreciable diode series resistance R s {\displaystyle R_{s}} is cyclically dependent on itself, the applied voltage, V {\displaystyle V} , the absolute diode temperature T {\displaystyle T} , effective barrier height, Φ {\displaystyle \Phi } , the ideality factor n {\displaystyle n} i.e., |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | OYM hypothesis | where q {\displaystyle q} is electronic charge, k {\displaystyle k} is the Boltzmann constant, A {\displaystyle A} is the diode area, A ∗ {\displaystyle A^{*}} is the Richardson constant. |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | OYM hypothesis | Eq. \ref{eqn:schottky} is difficult to solve explicitly because of R s {\displaystyle R_{s}} . Existing methods estimate Φ {\displaystyle \Phi } and n {\displaystyle n} by using simplifying approximations. A commonly used assumption is that q V > 3 k T {\displaystyle qV>3kT} , such that R s {\displaystyle R_{s}} and n {\displaystyle n} are estimated through the natural logarithm functions l n ( I ) {\displaystyle ln(I)} and l n ( V ) {\displaystyle ln(V)} . This limits the method to the forward low-bias region. The barrier height Φ {\displaystyle \Phi } is known to depend on applied bias and many simplifying assumptions and treatments of this variation are also described in the literature. |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Postulates | The OYM approach is supported by two main theorems. |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Postulates | For any Schottky diode that can be described in terms of the TE model, there exists a translational, R s {\displaystyle R_{s}} -dependent symmetry that reversibly maps the I − V {\displaystyle I-V} characteristics of the device, of the form: |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Postulates | I ^ = I + δ ε and V ^ = V + μ ε , {\displaystyle {\hat {I}}=I+\delta \varepsilon \quad {\textrm {and}}\quad {\hat {V}}=V+\mu \varepsilon ,} |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Postulates | where ε {\displaystyle \varepsilon } is some infinitesimal variational parameter, and |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Postulates | There exists one and only one symmetry i.e. the symmetry is unique such that μ = δ R s . {\displaystyle \mu =\delta R_{s}.} |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | To outline the proof of existence of symmetry, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is constructed from the TE equation and then shown to have a translational symmetry. The TE equation can be written in the more brief form: |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | y = ( 1 / s ) e [ − b ϕ ( x ) + c ( x − y r ) ] { 1 − e − b ( x − y r ) } , {\displaystyle y=(1/s)e^{[-b\phi (x)+c(x-yr)]}{\Big \{}1-e^{-b(x-yr)}{\Big \}},} |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | where |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | where x = V , y = I , b = q / k T , c = b / n , r = R s , and ( 1 / s ) = A A ∗ T 2 . {\displaystyle x=V,~y=I,~b=q/kT,~c=b/n,~~r=R_{s},~~{\textrm {and}}~(1/s)=AA^{*}T^{2}.} |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | This form can be expressed as an ODE by differentiating w.r.t x {\displaystyle x} : |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | y ′ = β ( x , y ) p + r β ( x , y ) = ω ( x , y ) , {\displaystyle y'={\frac {\beta (x,y)}{p+r\beta (x,y)}}=\omega (x,y),} |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | where |
Ocaya-Yakuphanoglu method | 75,684,280 | Proof outline | β = β ( x , y ) = [ ( b − c ) e − b ( x − y r ) + c ] e c ( x − y r ) . {\displaystyle \beta =\beta (x,y)={\Big [}(b-c)e^{-b(x-yr)}+c{\Big ]}e^{c(x-yr)}.} |

Evangelista interviews families of the victims, as well as members of the death squads. With one perpetrator describing his actions as making his neighborhood safer for his children by killing suspected criminals. With the person stating: "I'm not all bad. Some people need killing". |
Some People Need Killing | 75,684,439 | Reception | Writing for the New York Times, Jennifer Szalai stated that Evangelista vividly documented the killings, portraying the grief experienced by her and others due to such senseless killings. Szalai stated: "She pays close attention to language, and not only because she is a writer. Language can be used to communicate, to deny, to threaten, to cajole. Duterte’s language is coarse and degrading. Evangelista’s is evocative and exacting."
