Authors: Deshmukh Narayan
Published: September 2023

Bleeding caused by an inadvertent, excessive doage of coumadin is well known. However, even when the drug is administered in controlled dosage, petechiae, ecchymoses, and even necrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue can be produced on rare occasions. This complication is not so well known, and therefore this case is reported here to increase awareness of its existence.
Cues to Deception in Islamic Websites Text and Design
Authors: Ahmed Mohamed Fatima , Madihah Sheikh Abdul Aziz  , Murni Mahmud
Published: September 2023

Deception is not always a lie, but sometimes a factual truth deliberately misleads. The deception continues to grow with the proliferation of the growth of the internet and reliance on internet information to make decisions. Thus, the absence of a deception judgment for websites will make users believe false and deceiving information which poses a serious problem, and there is still little scholarly work on this issue. Hence, the purpose is to investigate the distribution of cues to deception in real websites. A case study approach was carried out using content analysis. The cues were tested against some websites, and the context for the case study is the Prophet Muhammad’s biography. As a result, a list of cues was generated and grouped into nine heuristics; five heuristics related to text, and four heuristics related to design. Under each of these developed heuristics are lists of cues. The analysis from the case study confirmed the existence of the cues and enriched and improved the heuristics with more new cues

Published: September 2023

A large number of poor nations throughout the world are benefiting from the e-government revolutions in order to deliver fast and fundamental items and solutions to their citizens. Because of the present development of mobile smart gadgets. However, public agencies face several challenges in integrating electronic government services into their infrastructure in order to improve current goods and services or build new ones. This major challenge is none the less reflected by the huge volume of data generated by various capable devices, as their administration is hampered by the facilities required for effective data transit as well as treatment. As a result, cloud computing services, as well as cloud technology, which extends cloud computing computational power to edge networks, are critical in addressing those issues. As a result, this paper aims to illustrate and concentrate on all these variables, so it presents an outline of a hybrid approach for adopting edge and cloud computing with in the domain of e-government to handle as well as solving e-government enforcement’s important problems. In term of arranging governmental services and goods among data centres, this model is used to identify two separate patterns: edge and cloud, and smart sensors constructed with low-power CPUs provide a very effective solution. The suggested model can figure out how an object interacts with each network and what their connection could be Eventually, a variety of recommended technological distinct elements and their approaches for developing edge and cloud computing is offered, ensuring also that selected answers were executed. A total of 600 questionnaires were delivered to Syrian individuals as part of a survey. AMOS version 21.0 was used to analyse the data using the structural equation model (SEM)
Design and Development of the e-Review
Authors: Azlin Nordin  , Musleh Islah Mohammad , Abdul Ro Zac
Published: September 2023

Requirements review is a formal review process in which several reviewers read all or part of software requirement specification (SRS) and search for defects. In order to ensure that the system requirements have been completely and clearly identified, reviewers use many different review techniques. Despite of the availability of many reading techniques such as perspective-based reading techniques, checklist-based reading techniques and a few more, we could not find any existing tool to support two or more reading techniques in order to guide reviewer while reviewing a document. Besides, currently, in order for the reviewers to review an SRS document, they need to gather physically, make a session and give their review feedback during the session. In such cases, the requirement engineers need to schedule the review session based on the availability of the reviewers. The review leader needs to manually organize the session and review outcomes also need to be manually consolidated. Thus, the objectives of this project are to develop a web-based tool in order to; (1) enable reviewers to review SRS document using two different reviewing techniques such as checklist-based reading (CBR) and perspective-based reading (PBR); (2) enable review leader to assign reviewer for requirement review; and (3) allow compilation of the review feedback to be generated. The project applied Iterative process model to manage the software development process. The implementation of the project is using PHP JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JQuery, and Ajax

Published: September 2023

Considering the progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Information Technology (IT) we witness, during recent years, the spread of the application of these technologies in various fields.  The research workflows, and in particular, the researches on Islamic sciences are not excepted from this issue. Several works have been carried out in order to exploit the AI and modern information technologies in the researches on Islamic sciences during recent years all over the Islamic regions and beyond them. It is very important to be aware of the latest developments in this field from different aspects like: 1) Benefiting from the advantages of modern technologies in the Islamic researches, 2) Reorganizing the educational plans in accordance with these developments, and 3) Introducing the new applications of AI in Islamic studies to the academics of computer sciences who may be interested in this field. In this paper, in the first step, a systematic review was conducted concerning more than four thousand international scientific articles related to applying AI and modern IT in Islamic studies, out of which 975 ones were chosen. At the same time, major institutions in this field were identified. In the next step the selected articles were classified in five thematic fields of 1) the Holy Qur’an, Tafsir and other related issues, 2) Hadith and Rijal Sciences, 3) Islamic Law and Jurisprudence, 4) the General Islamic Content in Social Media, 5) Other Subjects related to Islamic Sciences like Linguistics, History, Geography, etc. In the third step, the articles of each category were classified in a number of major subcategories that amount to 73 in total. Finally, in the last step, the distinctive articles in each field were introduced briefly.

Luminescent converters based on nanocellulose + K3Tb(PO4)2:Eu composite films
Authors: Boyko Volodymyr , Chornii Vitalii , Nedilko Serhii , Terebilenko Kateryna
Published: September 2023

The advantages of cellulose and its derivatives as the latest materials for devices that generate, store, and convert electricity are their low cost, environmental friendliness, ease of recycling and the ability to be manufactured in various ways and from various raw materials, including agricultural waste. This predetermines the relevance of their study as materials for modern technology and electronics. The research aims to determine the luminescent characteristics of composite films made based on nanocellulose and polycrystalline oxide K3Tb0.9Eu0.1(PO4)2. Optical microscopy and the spectral-luminescence method were used to characterise the films and their initial components. It was found that crystallites with an average size of about 50mm are distributed quite evenly in the film “nanocellulose+K3Tb0.9Eu0.1(PO4)2”. A Raman scattering band with a maximum of 564 nm under laser excitation at 473 nm was observed for the investigated samples in the form of suspensions. The intensity of photoluminescence of nanocellulose in suspension and films is low compared to the luminescence of oxide as a filler. The luminescence of Eu3+ ions is intense in the red region of the spectrum. The calculated values of the degree of asymmetry indicate low symmetry of the positions occupied by europium ions in the oxide and the contribution of Tb3+ ion emission to the overall spectrum of the composite film. The study results show that the luminescence of Eu3+ ions is sensitised by Tb3+ ions, which absorb the excitation light and then transfer energy to europium ions. The position of the absorption bands of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum and the intense emission of Eu3+ in the red region indicates the prospects of using nanocellulose+ K3Tb0.9Eu0.1(PO4)2 films to improve the efficiency of solar panels. Testing of the films under the excitation of luminescence by ultraviolet radiation of an LED (λex=375 nm) showed the possibility of developing white LEDs on their basis. In particular, the chromaticity coordinates of the uncoated LED were (x=0.214; y=0.079), and the use of a film composite as a coating causes a shift in the coordinates to the red region: x=0.304, y=0.196. The obtained results on the morphology and luminescent properties can be used to optimise the composition and manufacturing conditions of composite films of the following types “nanocellulose+K3Tb0.9Eu0.1(PO4)2” for use as fluorescent converters in LEDs or solar panels
Geological Assessment of Turonian - Coniacian terrestrial sedimentation records during climatic recovery, Moreno Hill Formation, Zuni Basin
Authors: Cilliers Charl D. , Tucker Ryan T. , Friemuth William J. , Beguesse Kyla A. , Zanno Lindsay E.
Published: September 2023

Understanding of Upper Cretaceous terrestrial sediments within the Western Interior Basin is advancing; however, the Turonian–Coniacian transition remains enigmatic. Recent chronometry of the Moreno Hill Formation indicates that sediment deposition took place during this interval of geodynamic upheaval and climatic recovery immediately following the peak of the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum (CTM). To decipher these effects, the sedimentary record of the Moreno Hill Formation was reassessed near the type section, and near Quemado, New Mexico (USA) using facies analysis and architectural reconstruction. Seven facies types (thirteen lithofacies codes), eleven architectural elements, and three facies associations were identified. Sedimentation within the floodplain of the lower Moreno Hill Formation was affected by the east-migrating forebulge of the Western Interior Basin. Furthermore, increasingly bedload-rich multi-story channel complexes and a transition from near-coastal to alluvial coals reflect gradual climatic cooling and overall regression of the Western Interior Seaway (with interruption by a regional [T2–R2] transgressive-regressive sequence). This is consistent with more subaerial conditions indicative of continued regression reflected within the floodplain sediments of the upper Moreno Hill Formation. Whilst diversion of westerly fluvial feeder systems by ongoing forebulge migration also affected sediment transport and deposition, a return to more suspended-load-rich single-story channels and thin coals are tied to an intervening (T3) transgression. Repetitive paleosol sequences throughout the Moreno Hill Formation indicate groundwater fluctuation in response to these base level changes. Together with detrital zircon-based geochronology, these slight sedimentary differences support a revised subdivision from three into two members: lower and upper. Beyond feeding the seaward Gallup Delta, the newly defined lower member correlates to the Toreva, Straight Cliffs (Smoky Hollow member), Ferron Sandstone, Funk Valley and Frontier formations (Dry Hollow Member) and the upper member to the Wepo and Straight Cliffs (John Henry Member) formations within the Kaiparowits, Notom, Last Chance and Vernal fluvio-deltaic systems. Landward sediments of the Cardium Formation (Canada) correlate with the lower and upper members of the Moreno Hill Formation.
In Government and Scientists We Trust
Authors: Campbell Ross
Published: September 2023

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led the German government to introduce containment measures to suppress transmission. This article tests if compliance with those measures was influenced by trust in the governing, health, and scientific institutions that were managing the crisis. The research draws on a survey collected amid the early days of the pandemic. Principal components analysis uncover three trust dimensions: trust in scientific, political, and regional institutions. Multivariate generalized linear models then find that individuals trusting of scientific and political institutions were more likely to reduce social contacts, avoid crowded places, and maintain social distance. These effects endure net of political partisanship and exposure to social media. By demonstrating that trust influenced compliance, I reframe a public health emergency as one set within a relationship between citizens and the state and advocate for policy learning structures in which the role of trust is more meaningfully incorporated.

Published: September 2023

The world of German, Austrian, and Jewish studies, but also that of comparative politics and British affairs, lost one of its great ones! Peter Pulzer lived the first nine years of his life in a turbulent Vienna witnessing a brief civil war between the Socialists and their clerical-conservative, Austro-fascist, and right-radical opponents, the triumph of Austro-Fascism, and its demise at the hand of the Nazis whose Anschluss in 1938 annulled Austria's existence as an independent country. Peter grew up in a deeply assimilated, middle-class Jewish family that was close to the Social Democratic Party and had the young boy classified as konfessionslos in his elementary school devoid of Jewish kids where Peter was categorized alongside a few Protestant boys in a predominantly Catholic environment. Peter's classification did not prevent him from being forced to attend a Jews-only school that was far away from his home. He witnessed how his father and grandfather were violently removed from their apartment and how his father joined the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde—the official organization of the Jewish community—much to his chagrin, since Peter's father deemed himself completely a-religious as well as ethnically apart from Jews. It was not until Yom Kipur of 1938, when Peter was nine years old, that a family friend took Peter to a synagogue where Peter came to see the “Torah.” This friend also taught Peter Hebrew, which his parents accepted as constituting an asset for a possible emigration to Palestine. Other hopeful possibilities were the Anglophone world of Britain, Canada, the United States, and Australia, with Britain emerging as the ultimate option by dint of a retired Anglican clergyman from Hertfordshire sponsoring the family! Peter maintained close contact with this man's family throughout his life.
EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENTIAL DRUG CORRECTION IN GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF VARIOUS BODY REACTIVITY IN THE SHORT TERM
Authors: Yarov Yu.Yu. , Silenko Yu.I.
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed differential drug correction in generalized periodontitis of the II and III severity degrees depending on the initial state of the body's response in the short term.

Material and methods. We examined 216 people aged 45 to 55 years with a diagnosis of generalized periodontitis. Depending on the state of the body's reactivity, patients were divided into three groups with normal, hyperand hyporeactivity. All patients received comprehensive conventional treatment. After surgery, the proposed differential drug correction was additionally performed. The effectiveness of the treatment was monitored by cytological and clinical examination on days 2, 4 and 6.

Research results and their discussion. The results of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis of II and III severity in the short term showed that the proposed differential drug correction in the postoperative period optimizes the wound healing process by bringing the phases of the cellular reaction periods closer to those of normal body reactivity in terms of duration and intensity. Namely: the period of initial degenerative changes (1st day), the period of intense inflammation with active granulocyte and macrophage reactions (4th day) and the period of increasing reparative processes (6th day). The results of the cytological study are complemented and confirmed by the corresponding dynamics of clinical parameters, characterized by their normalization during differential drug correction.

Conclusion. In patients with generalized periodontitis with hyperand hyporeactivity of the body, the proposed differential drug correction leads to normalization of the periods of cellular reaction during postoperative wound healing and clinical parameters in the short term.

Published: September 2023

Density studies, or the densitometric method, are used in the maxillofacial area to monitor the treatment course and to improve or correct, when necessary, the treatment plan for the number of dento-facial diseases or conditions.

Materials and methods. To identify potentially weaker areas of the maxillary bone, through which pathological processes, including cystic formations, may spread, the bone density in the anterior part of the maxilla was assessed in 100 patients.

Results. The study has demonstrated that the bone density in three areas – between the central incisors, between the central and lateral incisors, between the lateral incisor and the canine – is lower when compared to the same measurements taken between the canine and the first premolar of the upper jaw. The analysis of measurements obtained from all subjects has revealed the area with the lowest bone density is found in the region between the central incisors in the upper jaw.

In the subsequent phase of the study, for predictive purposes, the ratio of bone density measurements in these areas with lower bone density to the same measurements in the adjacent region (between the canine and the first premolar of the upper jaw) was established. The average values of the bone density comparison were as follows: between the central incisors and the adjacent region, it was 0.77±0.01; between the central and lateral incisors and the adjacent region, it was 0.93±0.01; and between the lateral incisor and the canine and the adjacent region, it was 0.85±0.01. Based on these calculations, different risk levels for the potential spread of pathological processes in the maxillary fissure regions were identified.

Conclusions. Radiological density in the areas of projection of the maxillary fissures is lower compared to the density of adjacent bone tissue. This indirectly suggests the vulnerability of these areas and their potential contribution to the diffuse nature of lesions and the formation of specific cystic forms.

Społeczeństwo obywatelskie w Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Orzeszyna Krzysztof
Published: September 2023

Pojęcie „społeczeństwo obywatelskie” stało się pod koniec XX w. przedmiotem szerokiej dyskusji. W tradycji republikańskiej ma ono podstawy we wspólnocie i jej dobru; wolność wspólnoty warunkuje wolność jednostki – obywatela. W tradycji liberalnej przedmiotem reprezentatywnym nie jest już „ciało wspólnotowe”, ale grupy interesów czy jednostki. Istotny jest problem relacji pomiędzy jednostką, społeczeństwem obywatelskim i państwem. Pluralizm podmiotów życia społecznego, gospodarczego, politycznego, kulturalnego i religijnego powoduje wzrost znaczenia społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w konstrukcji europejskiej (art. 257 TWE, 300 TFUE; art. 11 TL).
Tradycja i postęp w instytucji Prokuratorii Generalnej Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
Authors: Graliński Wojciech
Published: September 2023

Ustawą z dnia 8 lipca 2005 r. o Prokuratorii Generalnej Skarbu Państwa przywrócono w Polsce po ponadpięćdziesięcioletniej przerwie instytucję Prokuratorii Generalnej, której podstawową kompetencją jest zastępstwo procesowe Skarbu Państwa. Autor przedstawił historię tej instytucji począwszy od przyczyn jej utworzenia poprzez jej funkcjonowanie w Królestwie Polskim i w okresie Drugiej Rzeczpospolitej aż po likwidację w 1951 r. Podstawowym celem autora była analiza przepisów aktualnie obowiązującej ustawy i ich ocena dokonywana według kryteriów kontynuowania tradycji Prokuratorii Generalnej (w tym zakresie oceny autora są zróżnicowane) oraz uczynienia ewentualnego postępu (na przykład poprzez rygorystyczne zawężenie kręgu zastępowanych podmiotów wyłącznie do Skarbu Państwa). Autor pozytywnie ocenił fakt przywrócenia instytucji Prokuratorii Generalnej oraz jej kompetencje (nawet te w zakresie wydawania opinii), natomiast skrytykował przede wszystkim sprzeczne z tradycją Prokuratorii wprowadzenie kryterium wartości przedmiotu sporu dla rozgraniczenia jej kompetencji od reprezentacji Skarbu Państwa przez państwowe jednostki organizacyjne.
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Alzheimer’s Disease Link with Cardio and Cerebrovascular Diseases, Based on Hawaii Medicare Data
Authors: Siriwardhana Chathura , Carrazana Enrique , Liow Kore , Chen John J.
Published: September 2023

Background:

There is an expanding body of literature implicating heart disease and stroke as risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Hawaii is one of the six majority-minority states in the United States and has significant racial health disparities. The Native-Hawaiians/Pacific-Islander (NHPI) population is well-known as a high-risk group for a variety of disease conditions.

Objective:

We explored the association of cardiovascular disease with AD development based on the Hawaii Medicare data, focusing on racial disparities.

Methods:

We utilized nine years of Hawaii Medicare data to identify subjects who developed heart failure (HF), ischemic heart disease (IHD), atrial fibrillation (AF), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, and progressed to AD, using multistate models. Propensity score-matched controls without cardiovascular disease were identified to compare the risk of AD after heart disease and stroke. Racial/Ethnic differences in progression to AD were evaluated, accounting for other risk factors.

Results:

We found increased risks of AD for AF, HF, IHD, and stroke. Socioeconomic (SE) status was found to be critical to AD risk. Among the low SE group, increased AD risks were found in NHPIs compared to Asians for all conditions selected and compared to whites for HF, IHD, and stroke. Interestingly, these observations were found reversed in the higher SE group, showing reduced AD risks for NHPIs compared to whites for AF, HF, and IHD, and to Asians for HF and IHD.

Conclusions:

NHPIs with poor SE status seems to be mostly disadvantaged by the heart/stroke and AD association compared to corresponding whites and Asians.

OBJECTIVE: We explored the effectiveness of an online/offline mixed-mode Tai Chi cardiac rehabilitation program on the microcirculation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN: Prospective, randomized controlled study. SETTING: It was conducted in a tertiary hospital. SUBJECTS: Twenty-six patients who met the diagnostic criteria for coronary artery disease were recruited. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized divided into a 12-week Tai Chi cardiac rehabilitation program(TCCRP) or a conventional exercise rehabilitation program(CERP) in a 1:1 fashion, 4 weeks of in-hospital rehabilitation and 8 weeks of online rehabilitation at home (a total of 12 weeks of intervention). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Nailfold microcirculation (Morphological integrals, Blood flow integrals, Periphery capillary loop integrals, Overall integrals). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Twenty patients completed the study. The Morphological integrals (baseline: 2.875±1.171 vs 12weeks: 1.863±0.414, t = 2.432, P = 0.045 < 0.05) and Overall integrals (baseline: 5.563±2.001 vs 12weeks: 3.688±1.167, t = 3.358, P = 0.012 < 0.05) decreased significantly in the TCCRP, The nailfold microcirculation integra decreased not significantly in the CERP (P > 0.05). The nailfold microcirculation integra was not significantly different between the two groups after the intervention (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The TCCRP improved the microcirculation of patients with CAD.
Intelligent framework for multiple-attribute decision-making under probabilistic neutrosophic sets and its applications
Authors: Zheng Xiaobin
Published: September 2023

Highway engineering itself is a large-scale project with high construction safety requirements, involving multiple construction safety factors. In order to better ensure the orderly development of highway tunnel construction, it is necessary to strengthen construction safety evaluation. The construction safety management evaluation of highway engineering is viewed as the multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) issue. In this paper, an extended probabilistic neutrosophic number TOPSIS (PNN-TOPSIS) method is established for construction safety management evaluation of highway engineering. The PNN-TOPSIS method integrated with CRITIC method in probabilistic neutrosophic sets (PNSs) circumstance is applied to rank the optional alternatives and a numerical example for construction safety management evaluation of highway engineering is used to proof the newly proposed method’s practicability along with the comparison with other methods. The results display that the approach is uncomplicated, valid and simple to compute.

This paper embarks on a historical journey, tracing the roots of computational theory with Alan Turing and culminating in the so- phisticated generative transformer architectures of today. Through a blend of review, history, and tutorial, we aim to provide a holistic understanding of these models, emphasizing their significance, under- lying mechanisms, and vast applications. The tutorial segment offers a hands-on approach, guiding readers through the intricacies of building and fine-tuning generative transformers. As we navigate this trans- formative landscape, we also shed light on challenges, ethical considerations, and future prospects in the world of generative models.

Published: September 2023

Stream data learning is an emerging machine learning topic, and it has many challenges. One of its challenges is the dynamic behavior or changes in the environment which leads to drifts. Two types of drift occur, namely, concept drift and feature drift. This article provides a survey on stream data learning with focusing on the issues of feature drift and the methods developed for handling it. After presenting the fundamental concepts and definition in this field, it provides an overview of the various models and methods developed for detecting feature drift and maintaining the validity of the machine learning models when the drift occurs. Furthermore, the article provides the generators used for creating dataset with feature drift to provide benchmarking for approaches of detecting or handling feature drift. The article provides also taxonomy of feature selection methods in both static and dynamic environment. It concludes that reinforcement-based models are promising for this task, and it lists various open challenges and future works in this area.
İnsanın Özneliğine İtiraz: Taha Abdurrahman’ın İnsan Tanımı
Authors: KARDAŞ Meryem

Öz

İnsan, farkında olunsun veya olunmasın tüm tartışmaların odak noktasını oluşturur. Bu nedenle aslında her meselenin başlangıcında yer alır. İnsan hakkında yapılan tanımlamalar, bütün bir düşüncenin yönünü değiştirecek niteliktedir. Nitekim Batı düşüncesinde insanın özne olarak tanımlanması ile yaşanan kırılma ve dönüşüm bu durumun tipik bir göstergesidir. Tanrı’nın ve akabinde dinlerin konumu, insanın özne olarak değerlendirilmesiyle yeniden şekillenmiştir. İnsanın özneliği evrene bakışta da değişikliğe neden olmuştur. Fakat diğer tüm varlıkları kendisini merkeze koyarak değerlendirmesi, insanın karşı karşıya kalacağı problemleri ortadan kaldırmak şöyle dursun, despotizm, anlam yoksunluğu, doğaya tahakküm gibi olumsuz sonuçlara sebebiyet vermiştir.

Elinizdeki çalışma Taha Abdurrahman’ın teolojik-antropoloji çerçevesinde değerlendirilmeye uygun olan insan tanımına odaklanacaktır. Taha Abdurrahman’ın tanımı insanın özne olarak tanımlanmasıyla neticelenen seküler dünyanın bir eleştirisi üzerinde şekillenmektedir. Burada bir sınırlılığı dikkate aldığımızı belirtmek isteriz. Zira bir düşünür olarak Abdurrahman’ın fikriyatında insan tasavvuru merkezî bir noktadadır. Ancak onun insan tasavvuru çeşitli alt başlıkları kapsayan oldukça kapsamlı felsefi bir yorumdur. Bu nedenle biz ancak tanımına odaklanacağız. Zira tanım, tasavvurdan önce gelir. Nitekim tanımın netleşmesiyle tasavvurun anlaşılma imkânı artar. Bu noktada ayrıca yaptığımız diğer bir daraltmaya da işaret etmemiz gerekir. Bu çalışmada, düşünürün, Türkçeye Prof. Dr. Soner Gündüzöz tarafından çevrilen “Dinin Ruhu: Sekülarizmin Sığlığından İlahi Sözleşme ve Emanet Paradigmasının Enginliğine” olarak çevrilen eseri temel alınmıştır. Bu tercihin sebebi, eserin Taha Abdurrahman’ın sekülerleşme eleştirilerini ve insan anlayışını yoğun bir şekilde işlediği çalışma olmasıdır. Öncelikle, bir düşünür olarak Abdurrahman’ın fikriyatının İslam düşüncesindeki önemine değinilecek, ardından insan tanımındaki önemli noktalar tespit edilecektir. Bu gerçekleştirilirken modern dönemde insanın ve dinin geleceğine yönelik yaklaşımlarla bağlantısı ve çözümü ortaya konacaktır.
A psicologia e o direito da infância e juventude: uma interdisciplinaridade necessária, com a atuação do Ministério Público para além do processo judicial
Authors: Horvath Antonio Carlos , Horvath Aline Souza
Published: September 2023

Este artigo discute a interlocução entre a Psicologia e o Direito da Infância e Juventude, sob a perspectiva do paradigma da doutrina da proteção integral na política de atendimento da criança e do adolescente. O presente estudo, por meio da metodologia analítico-descritiva, que envolve, a pesquisa bibliográfica, com a utilização de obras e artigos científicos, a fim de fundamentar e aprofundar o conhecimento, tem por objetivo apresentar a contribuição da interdisciplinaridade da Psicologia com o Direito, notadamente, no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente – Lei n.º 8069/90; bem como demonstrar a necessidade de se fomentar um diálogo e uma aproximação do Ministério Público, enquanto instituição permanente incumbida da defesa dos interesses sociais e individuais indisponíveis da população infantojuvenil, em sua atuação extrajudicial, com a Psicologia Jurídica. Como resultado, pode-se demonstrar que a concepção piramidal da ciência jurídica é substituída pelo paradigma do direito em rede e como corolário, observar o diálogo da ciência do Direito com a Psicologia e outras ciências humanísticas. De modo a concluir que a Psicologia coopera e auxilia para a proteção e dignidade da população infantojuvenil. De igual modo, o Ministério Público deve adotar como política institucional o fomento de um diálogo maior ante a interface de tais ciências, em particular na sua atuação extrajudicial.
Three Surprises of the Gezi Park Protests
Authors: Arat-Koc Sedef
Published: September 2023

Starting on May 28, 2013 and still continuing as this article goes to press, Turkey has witnessed the several-week occupation of Gezi Park in Istanbul and huge protests, which have spread to 78 out of Turkey’s 81 provinces. The protests, which originated in reaction to plans for replacing the park with a shopping mall, were not simply about this park, but became a lightning rod for grievances against the policies of the governing party, the AKP. Those policies promoted unfettered neoliberal growth—including “urban renewal”—with creeping Islamization, conservative regulation of lifestyles, political repression, and police brutality that choked political dissent. The scope of protests have exceeded what anyone even imagined in the initial days of action in the park. The largely unplanned protests, especially those in Gezi Park and the adjacent Taksim Square, offer three surprises that may promise a better future for Turkish politics. 
Culturalizing politics, hyper-politicizing ‘culture’: ‘White’ vs. ‘Black Turks’ and the making of authoritarian populism in Turkey
Authors: Arat-Koc Sedef
Published: September 2023

This paper focuses on the uses and abuses of two terms, ‘White’ and ‘Black Turk’, which have been significant in the ways modern Turkish society and national identity have been defined and contested in recent decades. Initially emerging in social analysis in the 1990s, ‘White Turk’ was a metaphor for and critique of the class culture, subjectivity and worldviews of the ‘new middle classes’ in a period of rapid integration to neoliberalism and globalized capitalism. Over time, both White and Black Turks have come to be used as part of a politics of identity and a politics of authenticity to characterize who are seen as the ‘authentic self’ and inauthentic others of national identity and to assert different visions for the future of Turkish society. White Turk has been adopted as an identity by outspoken members of the media and business elite, whereas its binary opposite, Black Turk, has been appropriated by Islamist politicians of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) as a metaphor to characterize the marginalization and purported oppression of their conservative Muslim constituency. As White and Black Turks were adopted as self-proclaimed identities, they provided a basis for a culturalist depiction of Turkish society, contributing over time to an increasingly divisive politics. Even though the AKP initially used the reference to White and Black Turks to appeal to specific demands for inclusion, as it increased its grip on power, it also (hyper)politicized the terms to articulate nativist claims to authenticity. In recent years, this nativist populism has been used to justify increasing authoritarianism and to delegitimize belonging and political participation of those deemed inauthentic others of the body politics.
