Ahmet Muhip Dıranas’ın “Bulutlar, “Ve Bulutlar” ve “Şehrin Üstünden Geçen Bulutlar” Adlı Şiirlerinde Bir Esin Kaynağı Olarak Bulut İmajı ve Yüklendiği Estetik Değer
Authors: Ay İlknur
Published: April 2024

Şairin nesne üzerindeki öznel tasarrufları, şiirin temel karakteristiğinde vardır. Şiir için herhangi bir unsur esin kaynağı olabilir ve sanatçı onun üzerinde farklı tasavvurlarla imgeler oluşturarak duygu ve düşüncelerini dikkat çekici bir şekilde yansıtma imkânı bulur. Böylece şairin bir sözcüğün elinden tutup bir duygunun dilinden konuşması sırasında şekillenen mısralar ortaya çıkar. Şair dış dünyadaki muhtelif unsurlar ve ruhundaki karmaşa arasında çok ince bağlar kurar. Temaşa edilen ögelerin nitelikleri arasında aktarım yapılıp birbiriyle kaynaştırılır ve bütünlüğü kurma yolunda aşama aşama ilerlenir. Şair adeta kendi ruhundaki bütünlüğü dolduracak, eksiklikleri karşılayıp giderecek tek tek parçaların arayışı içindedir. Bu sırada oluşan imgeler de sanatçının elindeki bütün malzemenin onun bilincinde ustaca yoğrulup yeni bir duyarlılıkla yansıtılmasıdır. Önce dış dünyadaki unsurlar arasında sonra da öznenin kendi dünyasıyla bu unsurlar arasında kurulan ilişkinin sonucunda şiirsel öz ortaya konulur. Ahmet Muhip Dıranas da “Bulutlar”, “Ve bulutlar”, “Şehrin Üstünde Geçen Bulutlar” şiir dizisinde “bulut” nesnesinden hareketle duygusal çağrışımlarla manzaradaki derinliği kavrayıp ayırt eder ve sergiler. Söz konusu şiirler sanatçının dış dünyadaki nesneleri ve kendi özünü algılayış düzleminde ortaya çıkar. Şiirlerde “bulut” kavramı belli bir bağlam içerisinde değerlendirilir. “Bulut” nesnesinden hareketle bir armoni ve sonrasında denge kuran şair, bir taraftan bulutlar arasında kendisini kaybederken diğer taraftan oluşan şiirsel ortamda kendini bulur. Şiirde önce görünüş yansıtılırken sonra “einfühlung” (özdeşleşme) gerçekleşir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada Ahmet Muhip Dıranas’ın ele alınan şiirlerinden hareketle öznenin nesneleri algılayış tarzı ve tavrına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan imgesel oluşum ve özdeşleyim aşamalarına dair tespit ve değerlendirmeler ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
ОБРАЗ «ПОКИНУТОЇ» У ВІРШАХ МИКОЛИ ХВИЛЬОВОГО «ТРАМВАЙНИЙ ЛИСТ»
Authors: Криворучко Світлана
Published: April 2024

Український письменник поч. ХХ ст. Микола Хвильовий (1893-1933) збагатив власними творчими відкриттями світовий модернізм. Науковою проблемою є виявлення естетичних модерністських домінант творчості М. Хвильового, в яких, окрім європейських засад, простежується становлення української національної ідентичності на мовному рівні, що спонукає вписати творчість М. Хвильового в світовий модерністський дискурс. Інтерпретація художнього жіночого образу з позиції модерністських засад (негативність дитинства, антиродинність) заповнить лакуни в осмисленні феномену сім’ї та конфлікту чоловік / жінка. Метою статті є зробити акцент на експериментаторстві, формотворчості і словотворчості; простежити жанрову трансформацію; виокремити тропи у віршах Миколи Хвильового «Трамвайний лист», які впроваджують авторську ідею – загальнолюдські проблеми: відповідальність, емпатія, стосунки чоловік / жінка. Поетиці «Трамвайного листа» властиві модерністські ознаки, оскільки Микола Хвильовий прагне «нового» на рівні форми (синтаксис / структура) та змісту (семантика / сенс / ідея / проблематика / героїня). Творчість Миколи Хвильового за естетичними ознаками слід вписати в дискурс світового модернізму 1 пол. ХХ ст. На засадах феміністичної критики, з точки зору стосунків чоловіка та жінки, осмислено жіночий досвід, який представив Микола Хвильовий, проаналізовано жіночий образ у поезії, зроблено акцент на жіночій ідентичності. Виокремлено тропи та риси окремих напрямів, для того щоб з᾽ясувати ідею письменника – самотність героїні (жінки), її екзистенційний сум і пригніченість, її намагання знайти вихід із емоційного болю, окреслення завуальованої перспективи жити далі.

Authors: Sabzevari Fatemeh , Ahmadipour Maryam , Nezamabadipour Najmeh , Jahanara Abbas
Published: April 2024

Background: High blood lead levels (BLLs) in pregnant women are associated with poor outcome in neonates. One of the newest non-occupational sources of lead contamination is opium consumption. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess BLLs in mothers addicted to opium and their neonates in Kerman. Methods: This cross-sectional was conducted in Afzalipour hospital in Kerman, from February 2019 to February 2020. The BLLs were measured in 100 opium-addicted and non-addicted mothers and their newborns, and the lead levels higher than 5 μg/dL were considered contamination. Then, the demographic and anthropometric data were compared. Findings: Based on the results of the present study, the BLLs of opium-addicted mothers (33.40±9.22 μg/dL vs 3.2±1.5 μg/dL) and their neonates (13.46±4.86 vs 1.1±0.9) were significantly higher (P=0.001) than those of non-addicts. Moreover, the average birth weight of the newborns in the addicted group was significantly lower than in the non-addicted group (2572.8±77.49 vs 2946±46.87) (P=0.001). Besides, there was a significant relationship between the average birth weight and the BLL of the mother and baby, and the average weight of the babies was significantly lower at higher levels of lead. However, no correlation was observed regarding the average height and head circumference of the neonates (P>0.05). Conclusion: It seems that the serum level of lead in neonates of opium-addicted mothers contaminated with lead is significantly higher than that of non-addicts, but their anthropometric characteristics at birth were not different from those of the nonaddicted group.

Published: April 2024

Background: Nowadays, the adverse effects of smoking on general, oral, and dental health are reported time and again worldwide. However, evidence to quantify the effects of tobacco smoking and smoking cessation on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) is inadequate. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess the effects of nicotine gum on HRQoL and OHQoL of cigarette smokers. Methods: This pilot study was conducted on 40 smokers, half of whom received nicotine gum. HRQoL and OHQoL were measured twice at the beginning of the study and after three months using standard versions of Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-5) questionnaires. T-test, Fischer’s exact test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used to compare the participants’ scores on the questionnaires. Findings: The mean age of the participants was 43.39±12.32 years. Using nicotine gum significantly increased the scores of general health (P=0.046) and physical functioning (P=0.021) domains of HRQoL in comparison with the cigarette smoking group. Moreover, using nicotine gum significantly increased the scores of the two questions about the reduced sense of taste (P<0.001) and difficulty doing usual jobs (P=0.071). Conclusion: Using nicotine gum was associated with the improvement of HRQoL and OHQoL to some extent. To better understand the relationship between smoking cessation and improved OHQoL, it is necessary to conduct further studies in this field.

Published: April 2024

Background: Substance abuse by adolescents and young adults is a major public health issue. This study aimed to (i) show the transition of sociodemographic and substance abuse characteristics from 1992 to 2017 among US adolescents and young adults, (ii) evaluate the likelihood of co-occurrence of substances, and (iii) identify significant sociodemographic characteristics in association with polysubstance abuse. Methods: This study extracted data for adolescents and young adults from 1992 and 2017 Treatment Episode Data Set-Admission (TEDS-A) datasets. The extracted sample included 337858 admissions in 1992 and 333322 in 2017. Findings: Both years experienced significant admissions. A significant transition in 2017 compared to 1992 was evident in education, living status, and ethnicity. Substance-specific transition showed alcohol was dominant in 1992, while marijuana/ hashish was dominant in 2017. Also, heroin, other opiates/synthetics, and methamphetamine experienced an increase, while cocaine/crack decreased. The pairwise co-occurrences exhibited a considerable variation in the likelihood of using one substance given another one. The odds ratios (ORs) obtained from generalized ordered logit models showed significantly higher odds of one or more substances with age, while education showed the opposite scenario. A mixed effect of gender was evident in 1992, whereas females were significantly less likely with one or more substances than males in 2017. Other significant vulnerable groups were those not in the labor force, homeless, white, and Mexican Americans. Conclusion: The findings may help to understand the overall changes between 1992 and 2017 and take necessary measures to reduce the burden of this public health problem.
Addiction/Drug Use and Usage of Condoms Among Homosexual Males: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: V. Totala Yashowardhan , M. Kasbe Abhiram
Published: April 2024

Background: Despite the legal acceptance of homosexuality in India, it remains a social taboo, resulting in various challenges being faced by homosexual males. These challenges mainly include issues such as addiction/drug use and inconsistent and/ or incorrect condom usage which increase the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV among them. This study was thus conducted with the objective of studying the patterns of addiction/drug use and condom usage among homosexual males. Methods: The study was conducted at outreach sites of a non-governmental organization (NGO). A total of 240 participants, consisting of homosexual and bisexual males aged 18-24 years who were residing in the metropolitan city of Mumbai for at least 1 year, were enrolled. Data about addiction/drug use and patterns of condom usage was collected, compiled, entered into Microsoft Excel, and subsequently analyzed using SPSS. Findings: Out of the total participants, 171 (71.2%) reported engaging in addiction/drug use, Among those participants, 105 (61.4%) engaged in alcohol consumption prior to sexual contact to enhance pleasure or delay climax. Cigarette smoking was the most common type of addiction. Statistically significant association was found between habitual addiction/drug use (P=0.0023), use of ecstasy/aphrodisiac drugs (P=0.00654) and, inconsistent and/or incorrect condom use among the participants. However, planned addiction/drug use only before sexual contact did not show a significant association (P=0.066). Conclusion: Habitual addiction/drug use among homosexual males increases the likelihood of engaging in inconsistent and/ or incorrect condom use, thereby elevating the risk of acquiring STIs and HIV. To mitigate this risk, interventions targeting addiction/ drug use prevention should be initiated during adolescence to address this issue at an earlier stage of life.

Published: April 2024

Background & Aims: The burden of tobacco smoking is known worldwide. In a high percentage of preventable cancers, respiratory diseases are attributed to smoking. This study aimed to investigate the relationship and the effect of different variables on smoking prevention behaviors among students in southwest Iran in 2022 by the regression analysis. Materials and Methods: The current study is a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted in two phases. In the first phase of the study, demographic and contextual information questionnaires, a questionnaire based on the health belief model, and a questionnaire related to smoking prevention behaviors were used to collect data. To this end, 120 students from different undergraduate programs at Payame Noor University in Ahvaz were randomly selected. Data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software version 16 via central indicators, dispersion, and multiple linear regression tests. Results: The results showed that the perceived barriers dimension (beta=0.168, P value=0.038) and action guide (beta=0.235, P value<0.001) have a significant effect on prevention behaviors. According to the reported coefficients, a one-unit increase in perceived barriers and action guidelines, 0.168 and 0.235 units, respectively, increased the number of prevention behaviors. Conclusion: It is possible to exert a positive effect on the prevention of smoking among students by properly educating students’ parents. Paying attention to these recommendations can increase the probability of students’ understanding of the prevention of smoking.

Published: April 2024

Background & Aims: This study aimed to assess the health risks and ecological hazards of heavy metals cadmium, lead, and nickel in agricultural soils of Khuzestan province in 2018. Materials and Methods: In this study, sampling was gathered from three farms in three cities (Baghmalek, Shavur, and Shushtar) and five points with three replications. A plot with dimensions of 10×10 m was considered in the field, and four soil samples were taken from four sides of the plot and one from the center of the plot with 0-30 cm depth, and finally the composite sample was obtained. Results: The average of cadmium, nickel, and lead in the soils of Baghmalek, Shavur, and Shushtar was 5.04, 83.44, and 312.64 mg/kg, respectively. The mean values of cadmium and nickel in the soils of the studied fields were higher than the global average values, but the amount of lead in the studied soils was lower than the global average. Moreover, the ecological risk of heavy metals in soil showed that the farms in Baghmalek and Shavur have an extremely high ecological risk, and Shushtar had a severe ecological risk. Conclusion: Based on the calculation of pollution indices, soils in Baghmalek, Shavur, and Shushtar had heavy metal contamination of cadmium, lead, and nickel and had human origin. In this study, the risk index of heavy metals was less than 1, and it was only higher than 1 in the case of lead metal in children absorbed by ingestion. The carcinogenic risk index of metals also indicated that nickel has the potential for carcinogenesis in children.

Authors: Farhadi Hassankiadeh Roghaye , Dobson AM Annette , Rahimi Somayeh , Jalilian Abdollah , Schmid Volker J , Mahaki Behzad
Published: April 2024

Background: This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the overall congenital heart disease (CHD) prevalence in live births and children in Iran, along with evaluating the spatial distribution of CHD birth prevalence across various geographical regions within the country. Methods: A Bayesian hierarchical meta-analysis (PROSPERO 2022: CRD42022331281) was performed to determine the pooled prevalence. A systematic search was conducted using ISI Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, IranDoc, SID, and Magiran until October 4, 2023. Cross-sectional and cohort studies in both English and Persian languages, focusing on the age range of 0-10 years, were considered for the study population. The study quality was evaluated using the Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) Risk of Bias tool. Heterogeneity was assessed by I² and τ² statistics, and publication bias by Egger's and Begg's tests. Results: The meta-analysis included 62 studies, revealing an overall CHD prevalence of 2.5 per 1000 births. Over time, CHD birth prevalence in Iran has consistently increased. Spatial distribution analysis, including spatial autocorrelation and local spatial autocorrelation, indicated no spatial clustering (P-value = 0.46) or aggregation (P-value = 0.65) among Iran's provinces. Geographic disparities were significant ((Pvalue = 0.000), with the northern and eastern regions showing the highest and lowest CHD prevalence, respectively. Conclusion: The overall CHD prevalence in Iran is lower than global rates, but it continues to rise. Furthermore, there are variations in birth prevalence among different regions of Iran. Environmental, genetic, socioeconomic, and diagnostic accessibility differences are possibly involved in regional variation. The limitations like heterogeneity among studies, the potential inaccuracy of reports due to limited use of accurate diagnostic methods in some studies, and the absence of population-based models to investigate prevalence, underscore the urgent need for standardized diagnostic approaches, and the utilization of population-wide birth defect registries to accurately assess CHD prevalence in Iran.
Equity Lens on Canada’s COVID-19 Response: Review of the Literature
Authors: Tiwana Muhammad Haaris , Smith Julia , Kirby Megan , Purewal Simran
Published: April 2024

Background: A growing literature has documented how the secondary effects of the COVID19 pandemic have compounded socioeconomic vulnerabilities already present in society, particularly across social categories such as gender, race, class, and socioeconomic status. Such effects demonstrate how pandemic response policies act as structural determinants of health to influence not only direct health outcomes but also intermediary outcomes, such as access to education or income. Methods: This review aims to scope research that analyzes pandemic response policies in Canada from an equity perspective, to identify common themes, recommendations, and gaps. Results: Fourteen studies were thematically analyzed, the majority being qualitative policy document analysis, applying critical frameworks and focused on effects on select priority populations. Analysis of economic and labour policies indicates a lack of consideration for the specific needs of priority populations, and those engaged in precarious, informal, and essential labour. Analysis of social policies illustrate the wide-ranging effects of school and service closures, particularly on women and children. Furthermore, these policies lacked consideration of populations marginalized during the pandemic, include older adults and their caregivers, as well as lack of consideration of the diversity of Indigenous communities. Recommendations proposed in this review call for developing policy responses that address persistent social and economic inequities, pandemic response policies tailored to the needs of priority populations and more meaningful consultation during policy development. Conclusion: The limited number of studies suggests there is still much scope for research recognizing policies as structural determinants of health inequities, including research which takes an intersectional approach.
The Perils of Partnership: Interactions Between Public Health England, Drinkaware, and the Portman Group Surrounding the Drink Free Days Campaign
Authors: Maani Nason , van Schalkwyk May CI , Petticrew Mark
Published: April 2024

Background: There is growing evidence that the alcohol industry seeks to obstruct public health policies that might affect future alcohol sales. In parallel, the alcohol industry funds organisations that engage in "responsible drinking" campaigns. Evidence is growing that the content and delivery of such campaigns serves industry, rather than public health interests, yet these organizations continue to be the subject of partnerships with government health departments. This study aimed to examine the nature and potential impacts of such partnerships by analysing the practices of the alcohol industry-funded charity Drinkaware during the establishment of the Drink Free Days campaign. Methods: A case study based on an inductive analysis of documents revealed by freedom of information (FoI) request regarding communications between Drinkaware, Public Health England (PHE), and the Portman Group, in the years running up to, and during, the Drink Free Days campaign, a partnership between alcohol industry-funded charity Drinkware, and PHE. Results: This study reveals a range of less visible, system-level effects of such partnerships for government departments and civil society. The tensions observed, as exhibited by discrepancies between internal and external communications, the emphasis on managing and mitigating the perception of negative consequences, and the links to wider alcohol industry initiatives and bodies, suggest the need for wider considerations of organizational conflicts of interest, and of possible indirect, harmful consequences to policy-making. These include the marginalization of other civil society voices, the displacing of more effective policy options, and strategic alignment with other industry lobbying activities. Conclusion: The findings have implications for how public health practitioners and health organisations might better weigh the potential trade-offs of partnership in the context of health promotion campaigns.

Published: April 2024

In Europe, the EURO 6 Light Duty emission standards, a consequence of Diesel vehicles, introduced limits for particle number (PN) of Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines. Given the extremely small particles' concern about health effects, the same limits were set (6.0 x 1011 #/km) for diesel and GDI cars. In Brazil, the current phase for light vehicles of PROCONVE L6 enforced particulate matter (PM) mass emission standards for Diesel vehicles only, applying the limits of 25 mg/km for passenger cars and 30 mg/km for commercial vehicles. Similar to the European concern, even not considering the particle number (PN) emissions, future Brazilian phase L7, which is under study, considers a significant reduction in the limit of the particulate matter (PM) mass emission from current limits down to 6 mg/km for both Diesel and DI engines, for passenger and commercial vehicles. Aiming to contribute to hydrated ethanol fuel sustainability discussion compared to gasoline and for generating reference data regarding particle number (PN) emissions, which can be used for future emissions regulations of Flex-Fuel vehicles in the Brazilian market, this article explores particle number (PN) measurements of Flex-Fuel Vehicles equipped with direct injection (DI) and port fuel injection (PFI) engines, fueled with ethanol (E100) and gasohol (E22).
Exploring Finite-Time Singularities and Onsager’s Conjecture with Endpoint Regularity in the Periodic Navier Stokes Equations
Authors: Moschandreou T. E.
Published: April 2024

It has recently been proposed by the author of the present work that the periodic NS equations (PNS) with high energy assumption can breakdown in finite time but with sufficient low energy scaling the equations may not exhibit finite time blowup.This article gives a general model using specific periodic special functions, that is degenerate elliptic Weierstrass P functions whose presence in the governing equations through the forcing terms simplify the PNS equations at the centers of cells of the 3-Torus. Satisfying a divergence free vector field and periodic boundary conditions respectively with a general spatio-temporal forcing term which is smooth and spatially periodic, the existence of solutions which blowup in finite time for PNS can occur starting with the first derivative and higher with respect to time. P. Isett (2016) has shown that the conservation of energy fails for the 3D incompressible Euler flows with Hlder regularity below 1/3.(Onsager’s second conjecture) The endpoint regularity in Onsager’s conjecture is addressed, and it is found that conservation of energy occurs when the Hlder regularity is exactly 1/3. The endpoint regularity problem has important connections with turbulence theory. Finally very recent developed new governing equations of fluid mechanics are proposed to have no finite time singularities.

Published: April 2024

Learning is a lifelong process of acquiring knowledge and skills that flourishes your life. Learning results in the permanent change of behavior. Some of the main characters associated with learning are, learning is for growth, learning is adjustment, learning is purposeful, learning is experience and learning is intelligent. We have traditions of learning, one of which is called school. In a school environment, the teacher is the communicator of sharing ideas and knowledge to the students. The student output will be more if a positive reinforcement gets from the teacher. In a classroom environment, various types of learners are present who are varied in their Intelligence quotient, cultural background, socio-economic status, learning style, physical disabilities etc. To accelerate learning the teacher should not apply same type of teaching methods. The teacher should modify the teaching techniques. Inclusive education increases participation in learning of students because it focuses on student’s progress, curricular needs, and potential problem areas. Inclusive education welcomes all children regardless of individual differences. Inclusive education develops a sense of co- operation because the education is provided to the children with a common vision so it allows the children to play, read, and learn together. Inclusive practices ensures that all children receive equal opportunities despite who they are. Some of the practices in inclusive education are, first meet the needs of students and minimize the obstacles they may face. Some of the strategies in teaching are making the students to working in pairs, groups and individually, make the students to read books, motivate the students in participating sports and musical activities, make the students to write an imaginary stories for developing writing skills, engage the students in Role play. This will make the students to use their strengths and succeed. The teaching strategies aims to create an inclusive learning environment to accelerate learning. The article will discuss some of the practices and strategies in inclusive education to accelerate learning.

Inclusive education (IE) is the innovative practice of teaching students with disabilities and learning difficulties in the same classroom as their peers, with the primary goal of meeting every child’s educational needs, especially those who are most subject to marginalization and exclusion. Their primary goal is to meet every child’s educational needs, with a focus on children who are the most subject to marginalization and exclusion. Using a suitable network of services, this method entails creating an atmosphere in which all children, regardless of ability, can study alongside one another in public preschools, schools, and community learning environments.. The following are the goals of this paper: Promote a diverse and inclusive learning environment. Ensure that no one is denied access to high-quality education because of their ability, gender, financial status, or any other attribute. Assist underprivileged and disadvantaged groups—such as those with disabilities—by offering customized educational approaches and assistance in order to meet their needs and ultimately empower others. Provide educators with the necessary information and abilities to adopt inclusive pedagogical strategies that meet the necessities of all students and accommodate a broad spectrum of learning styles. By incorporating sustainability, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility into the educational process, you may empower people to actively participate in sustainable development. Improve student performance in the classroom by using inclusive education. This analysis examines the impact of inclusive pedagogies on underrepresented groups, assesses how education policies support inclusion, and talks about the implications for global development. The findings highlight the crucial relationship that exists between inclusive education and the larger goal of sustainable development, requires teamwork in building a future that is both sustainable and equitable.
Guidance and Counselling in Inclusive Education
Authors: Remi Hepsibha J.
Published: April 2024

A type of education known as inclusive education does not make a distinction between students who are enrolled in regular classes and those who have specific needs, whether they be verbal, physical, social, intellectual, emotional, or any other type. Along with scholars in isolated or underdeveloped locations, it also covers indigenous populations that have experienced social and natural disasters, as well as those who are financially unable to attend normal seminaries for their education, from elementary school to senior high school. In order to meet the unique needs of each student, primary seminaries that provide inclusive education have to modify their class sizes, educational infrastructure, organisational structures, and learning management systems. In order to optimise the implementation of inclusive education in elementary seminaries, support and consoling programmes that are aware of everyone’s existence are required. In this study, the literature review system is approached qualitatively. This investigation has led to the creation of a consoling and guiding curriculum at inclusive seminaries that focuses on personality and life skills development so that academics can contribute to society and not burden their families or the community. There are four steps involved in implementing guiding and consoling programmes in primary seminaries that enforce inclusive education: planning, creating, enforcing, and assessing.
