Authors: Gan Syang Pyng , Ng Kiah Loon , Yunus Nor Hayati , Ismail Asmahan Mohamed
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Kimura disease is a rare benign chronic inflammatory disorder of the soft tissue with predominant occurrences in young Asian male adults. However, there is limited information of Kimura disease in Southeast Asia. Hence, the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Kimura disease in Malaysia was investigated. Published Kimura disease cases from Malaysia were comprehensively searched in PubMed and Google Scholar up to December 2020 using the keywords “Kimura Disease” and “Malaysia”. Twenty-three papers were identified for review and case series of seven Kimura disease patients from a hospital in Malaysia were descriptively analyzed. A total of 60 cases were obtained from both sources. Eighty-seven percent were men with a male:female ratio of 6.5:1 and majority of the cases were Malays (77.1%). Median age of onset was 22.0 (IQR 12.5-31.5) years, while the median duration before diagnosis of Kimura disease was 2.0 (IQR 0.8-5.0) years. Head and neck region (95%) were the most frequently involved anatomical site. Peripheral eosinophilia was detected in 88.9% of the cases at presentation and renal involvement was observed in four (22.2%) patients. Surgery (57.5%) was the commonest first choice of treatment, followed by a combination of surgery and steroid (29.8%), steroid alone (10.6%), and a combination of steroid and immunosuppressive agent (2.1%). Local recurrences were observed in 28.6% of the cases. In conclusion, a much younger age of disease onset was found among Malaysians. A high recurrence rate of one in every four patients was observed, indicating the need for further evaluations of treatment strategies.

Authors: Ahmad Muslim Muhammad Yasir , Gunasagaran Jayaletchumi
Published: March 2024

Penetrating injuries to the hand are common occurrence in the casualty. Careless removal of the penetrating foreign body potentially leads to retained fragments and infection. In diabetic patients, presentation might be delayed due to poor immune response and peripheral neuropathy leading to complications such as spread of infection and amputation. Detecting retained radiolucent foreign body when the entry wound has healed may pose a challenge. We present a case of retained pieces of wood in the first webspace of the hand which presents with infection distant from the healed entry site.
The Effects of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Atherosclerotic Plaque: Cytokine Profile in Diabetic Individuals
Authors: Hachula Marcin , Kosowski Michal , Basiak Marcin , Okopien Boguslaw
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents one of the most
pressing global health challenges. The diabetic population has surged
dramatically, from 108 million in 1980 to an estimated 529 million in
2021. Hyperglycemia is intricately linked with endothelial dysfunction,
which contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, thereby
increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is closely associated with vulnerable
plaques, influenced by numerous cytokines. Consequently, contemporary
diabetes treatments must consider pleiotropic effects that mitigate
cardiovascular risk. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the
impact of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) on
biomarkers indicative of atherosclerotic plaque instability, including
pentraxin 3 (PTX3), copeptin (CPC), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9),
and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. Patients and Methods: Fifty subjects
aged 41–81 years (mean: 60.7) with diagnosed T2DM (median HbA1c:
8.75%), dyslipidemia, and confirmed atherosclerosis via B-mode
ultrasound were included. All subjects were eligible to initiate
treatment with a GLP-1 RA. Results: Following a 180-day intervention
with GLP-1 RAs, our study observed a statistically significant decrease
in biochemical markers associated with atherosclerotic plaque
instability, including PTX3, CPC, and MMP-9 (p < 0.001), as
well as Lp(a) (p < 0.05). Conclusions: GLP-1 receptor agonists
significantly reduce concentrations of PTX3, CPC, MMP-9, and Lp(a), all
implicated in plaque vulnerability. This effect may contribute to the
reduction of cardiovascular risk among diabetic patients.

Published: March 2024

Rapid and accurate maps of floods across large domains, with high
temporal resolution capturing event peaks, have applications for flood
forecasting and resilience, damage assessment, and parametric insurance.
Satellite imagery produces incomplete observations spatially and
temporally, and hydrodynamic models require tradeoffs between
computational efficiency and accuracy. We address these challenges with
a novel flood model which predicts surface water area from the U.S.
National Water Model using a convolutional neural network (NWM-CNN). We
trained NWM-CNN on 780 flood events, at a 250m resolution with an RMSE
of 4.58% on held out validation geographies. We demonstrate NWM-CNN
across California during the 2023 atmospheric rivers, comparing
predictions against Sentinel-1 mapped flood observations. Historically,
we compared the data from 1979-2023 to flood damage reports in
Sacramento County, California. Results show that NWM-CNN captures
inundation extent better than the Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND)
approach (25% to 36% RMSE, respectively).
Support vector regression tree model for the embankment breaching analysis based on the Chamoli tragedy in Uttarakhand
Authors: Sitender  , Kumar Verma Deepak , Setia Baldev
Published: March 2024

This study used the analysis to provide considerable support of historical distortion in the Himalayan Chamoli tragedy of 2021. According to multi-objective data and survey results, a precursor event occurred in 2016, and a linear fracture grew at joint planes, suggesting that the 2021 rock ice avalanche will fail retrogressively. To analyze breaching, this study considers seven distinct criteria such as slope, water pressure, and faulty drainage, hydrostatic stress, agricultural operations, cloudbursts, and road building. Based on these characteristics, the support vector regression (SVR) model is utilized to analyze the sensitivity of the link between these parameters. The application of support vector regression analysis on the Chamoli instance confirmed our conclusion that embankment breaching causes glacier retreat and other consequences in increasing sensitivity to the characteristics of fractured rock masses in tectonically active mountain belts. Recent advances in environmental monitoring and geological monitoring systems can be used with the proposed SVR model to provide further information on the location and time of the impending catastrophic collapses in high hill regions.
On non-adjointable semi-C*-Fredholm operators and semi-C*-Weyl operators
Authors: Ivkovic Stefan
Published: March 2024

We extend the results from semi-Fredholm theory of adjointable, bounded C*-operators on the standard C*-module, presented in [3], to the case of general bounded C*-operators on arbitrary Hilbert C*-modules. Next, in the special case of the standard C*-module, we show that the set of those semi-C*-Fredholm operators that are not semi-C*-Weyl operators is open in the norm topology, and that the set of non-adjointable semi-C*-Weyl operators is invariant under perturbations by general compact operators. Moreover, we provide an extended Schechter characterization and a generalized Fredholm alternative in the case of adjointable C*-operators on the standard C*-module. Finally, we provide examples of semi-C*- Fredholm operators.

Published: March 2024

. The main goal of this paper is to establish some error bounds for
Maclaurin?s formula which is three point quadrature formula using the
notions of q-calculus. For this, we first prove a q-integral identity
involving fist time q-differentiable functions. Then, by using the new
established identity we find the error bounds for Maclaurin?s formula by
using the convexity of fist time q-differentiable functions. It is also
shown that the newly established inequalities are extension of some existing
inequalities inside the literature.
Geometric characterizations of canal hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces
Authors: Kazan Ahmet , Altın Mustafa , Yoon Dae
Published: March 2024

In the present paper, firstly we obtain the general expression of canal hypersurfaces in Euclidean n-space and deal with canal hypersurfaces in Euclidean 4-space E4. We compute Gauss map, Gaussian curvature and mean curvature of canal hypersurfaces in E4 and obtain an important relation between the mean and Gaussian curvatures as 3H? = K?3 ? 2. We prove that, the flat canal hypersurfaces in Euclidean 4-space are only circular hypercylinders or circular hypercones and minimal canal hypersurfaces are only generalized catenoids. Also, we state the expression of tubular hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces and give some results about Weingarten tubular hypersurfaces in E4.

Lay historical narratives and ethnic identity: High school students about the NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia
Authors: Jevtic Milos , Lukic Petar , Stankovic Biljana
Published: March 2024

The 1999 NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia is a historical episode of immense
importance to Serbia?s society today. However, younger generation does not
have any personal account of this event: their historical understandings are
based on personal accounts from witnesses, mass media and social
institutions such as the system of education. Previous research shows that
historical narratives represent one of the most important contents of ethnic
identity. With these issues in mind, the focus of our research was to
examine high school students? narratives regarding the 1999 events and their
relation to one?s ethnic identity. We used a combination of quantitative
(correlational design) and qualitative (thematic analysis) methodology on a
sample of 120 high school students. The quantitative aspect of this paper
focused on the interplay between one?s degree of understanding national
history and their ethnic identity. Our analysis suggests that individuals
whose ethnic identification is stronger have a more detailed and specific
representation of this historical event. On the other hand, our qualitative
analysis showed that historical narratives of high school students often
lack important information or structure (in worst case, they are completely
absent). Nonetheless, themes contained in the few historically specific
narratives consistently offer a black-and-white picture of this historical
episode. Lastly, guidelines for future research as well as implications of
our findings for educational process are discussed.

Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE

To investigate quantitative and qualitative changes in retinal structure using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and their associations with systemic or other risk factors in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study, OCT images were obtained during study years 25–28 (2019–2022) in 937 participants; 54% and 46% were from the original intensive (INT) and conventional (CONV) glycemic management treatment groups, respectively.

RESULTS

Average age for participants was 61 years old, diabetes duration 39 years, and HbA1c 7.6%. Participants originally in the CONV group were more likely to have disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL) (CONV 27.3% vs. INT 18.7%; P = 0.0003), intraretinal fluid (CONV 24.4% vs. INT 19.2%; P = 0.0222), and intraretinal cysts (CONV 20.8% vs. INT 16.6%; P = 0.0471). In multivariable models, sex, age, smoking, mean updated systolic blood pressure, and history of “clinically significant” macular edema (CSME) and of anti-VEGF treatment were independently associated with changes in central subfield thickness, while HbA1c, BMI, and history of CSME and of ocular surgery were associated with DRIL. Visual acuity (VA) decline was associated with significant thinning of all retinal subfields except for the central and inner nasal subfields.

CONCLUSIONS

Early intensive glycemic management in T1D is associated with a decreased risk of DRIL. This important morphological abnormality was associated with a history of macular edema, a history of ocular surgery, and worse VA. This study reveals benefits of intensive glycemic management on the retina beyond features detected by fundus photographs and ophthalmoscopy.
Point-of-Care HbA1c in Clinical Practice: Caveats and Considerations for Optimal Use
Authors: Sacks David B. , Kirkman M. Sue , Little Randie R.
Published: March 2024

Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) is widely used for the diagnosis and management of diabetes. Accurate measurement of A1C is necessary for optimal clinical value. Assay standardization has markedly improved the accuracy and consistency of A1C testing. Devices to measure A1C at point of care (POC) are commercially available, allowing rapid results when the patient is seen. In this review, we describe how standardization of A1C testing was achieved, leading to high-quality results in clinical laboratories. We address the use of POC A1C testing in clinical situations and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of POC A1C testing. We emphasize the importance of considering the limitations of these devices and following correct testing procedures to ensure that accurate A1C results are obtained for optimal care of patients.
Exploring the Hepato-Renal Impact of Lead Acetate and in Combination with Defatted Moringa oleifera Seed Meal in Wistar Rats
Authors: Orakpoghenor Ochuko
Published: March 2024

Lead acetate is recognized for its hepatorenal toxicity, causing harm to the liver and kidneys upon exposure through air, water, or food, thus, leading to severe health issues. Defatted Moringa oleifera seed meal (DMOSM) is valued for its health benefits by offering a protein-rich supplement with antioxidant properties, and serving as a sustainable source of plant-based protein. In this study, the impact of lead acetate exposure and the potential protective effects conferred by DMOSM in male Wistar rats were assessed. The rats were divided into five groups: negative control (Group I), lead acetate exposure (Group II), lead acetate with DMOSM (Group III), sequential lead acetate and DMOSM treatment (Group IV), and DMOSM only (Group V). Serum biochemical parameters were evaluated at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Results revealed that, at 7 days, lead exposure and DMOSM led to slightly lower total protein. Group II exhibited significantly lower albumin levels, suggesting early liver dysfunction, while urea and creatinine variations indicated a potential renal stress. By 14 days, there was elevated total protein in the leadexposed groups, while DMOSM showed potential hepatoprotective effects, evidenced by significantly lower ALT activity in Group III. At 21 and 28 days, persistent or worsening liver dysfunction was observed in lead-exposed groups, while DMOSM demonstrated protective effects, especially in liver enzymes and renal markers. These findings highlight the complex interplay between lead toxicity and DMOSM-mediated protection. Thus, there is need for further investigation into the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic potential of DMOSM.

Survey of Attitudes toward Sharing Health Care Information in Telemedicine
Authors: Nakamura Kenji
Published: March 2024

Japan considers preventive healthcare crucial for extending healthy life expectancy. Recent medical and care industry orients to extend healthy life expectancy by utilizing preventive healthcare. Some preventive healthcare, which is called “digital healthcare,” is developed as wearable devices with AI. Especially, medical apps are gaining attention as insurance coverage applications among them. Various services are being developed for preventive healthcare care using digital healthcare. These services enhance patients' and users' knowledge about not only their health but also medical care per se, raising expectations for smart medical care. However, healthcare professionals need to monitor patients individually, leading to a concentrated burden. While efforts are being made to reduce healthcare professionals’ excessive exertion through digital healthcare, many patients fail to engage consistently in using the devices/applications, often due to resistance and reluctance to enter their health information into apps. Therefore, we have developed an app that allows the sharing of health information among multiple users, with sufficient explanation and consent obtained from the users. We verify whether mutual data sharing can improve each other's health habits. As a result, we confirmed that items such as diet and exercise habits improved by 1.4 times.
Nucleon Resonance Masses from QCD Sum Rules
Authors: Nasrallah Nasrallah F
Published: March 2024

We calculate the masses of the nucleon resonances [N+(1440), N-(1535), N- (1650), N+(1710), N+(1880), N-(1895), N+(2100)] using an adaptation of the method of finite energy QCD sum rules (FESR) introduced recently in the determination of the masses of the vector meson resonances. This variation of finite energy sum rules involves as usual integration over a closed contour consisting of a circle of a large radius R and a cut in the complex energy (squared) plane. A specific integration kernel is used, however, which minimizes the integral over the cut. We obtain remarkably stable results over a wide range R, where R is the radius of the integration contour. The sum rule predictions agree well with the experimental values. We make use of the nucleonic correlator discussed in our previous FESR calculation of the nucleon mass.
Nitric Oxide Signaling Function in Plant Pathogen Interaction

Nitric oxide (NO) may be a diatomic gaseous atom, which plays distinctive parts completely different strata of life forms. Found as a neurotransmitter in creatures, presently picked up a significant place in plant signaling cascade. NO as a key molecular signal that takes an interest within the direction of a few physiological forms in specific, it features a critical part in plant resistance to pathogens by activating resistance related cell passing and by contributing to the nearby and systemic acceptance of protection qualities. NO invigorates flag transduction pathways through protein kinases, cytosolic Ca2+ mobilization and protein alteration (i.e., nitrosylation). S-nitrosylation can balance the work of target proteins, empowering responsiveness to cellular redox changes [1].
Development of legal consciousness of legal students
Authors: Honcharov A. V. , Honcharov M. V.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the development of legal consciousness of law students. The main methodological approaches to the formation of legal consciousness of future specialists in the legal field are outlined.

It was found that the components that influence the development of legal awareness, which determines the orientations for persons facing legal situations, prompting them to make ethically and legitimately justified decisions on the psychological aspects of legal awareness among law students, require a detailed analysis. The development of legal consciousness of lawyers requires specially organized measures that affect various spheres of individual consciousness, but the sphere of legal consciousness of an individual is particularly sensitive to these social changes.

The work considers the key factors affecting the development of legal awareness among young people who are preparing to become specialists in the field of law. Depending on the subject acting as a source of legal awareness, individual, group and public legal awareness can be distinguished. Individual legal consciousness, which belongs to an individual, should be considered as a relationship between subjective and objective (individual and social) aspects in his consciousness.

Legal awareness of lawyers has a theoretical and practical nature, since the main goal of their work is the application of theoretical knowledge (scientific research) in practice. Law affects the consciousness of the relevant persons, performing its functions. The formation of legal awareness of lawyers requires the presence of appropriate professional morality, a system of moral and moral-legal norms that regulate their actions and behavior in professional activities. The main criteria for the development of legal consciousness of legal students are legal knowledge, the level of legal education, attitude to legal norms, stability of legal beliefs, value orientations, the formation of legal attitudes and compliance or non- compliance with the law revealed in behavior.
Legal Framework for ensuring observance of rights of undertakings during inspections of The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine in the context of antimonopoly reform in Ukraine
Authors: Sus M. S.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to analysis and general description of legal framework for ensuring observance of rights of undertakings during inspections of the bodies of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (the “AMCU”), considering provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving Legislation on the Protection of Economic Competition and Activities of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine” No. 3295-IX dated 9 August 2023 (the “Law No. 3295-IX”), which initiated the antimonopoly reform in Ukraine. The article analyses the main changes introduced by the Law No. 3295-IX in terms of conduct of inspections of undertakings and certain procedural actions (seizure, arrest of property, etc.) by the AMCU’s bodies, and provides a general assessment of these changes from perspective of ensuring observance of rights of undertakings during exercise of investigative powers by the AMCU’s bodies.

Following analysis of the above law, it is concluded that it significantly altered the rules for conducting inspections of undertakings and related procedural actions by the AMCU’s bodies and, in general, changed them for the better in terms of ensuring observance of rights of undertakings. The most significant positive development is that after entry of the Law No. 3295-IX into force (1 January 2024) inspections, access to premises, other possessions, other places of information storage owned and/ or used by undertakings, and/or performance of certain procedural actions in the form of examination, sealing, seizure of property, and arrest of property by the AMCU’s bodies should be subject to prior authorisation by the commercial court. The AMCU’s bodies, in turn, are required to provide sufficient justification of the need for inspections and the above-mentioned procedural actions, so that the latter could be authorised by the court.

The need to obtain prior authorisation from the commercial court to conduct inspections of undertakings and procedural actions such as seizing, imposing arrest on property, etc. in theory should prevent unjustified interference of the AMCU’s bodies in operational activities of undertakings and contribute to ensuring observance of their rights to a greater extent compared to situation when commercial courts would continue to carry out only ex post control over legality of inspections of the AMCU’s bodies and their procedural actions. Time will show whether the above idea will find its practical implementation and to what extent. As the AMCU’s bodies utilize the investigative toolkit provided to them by the Law No. 3295-IX, time will also reveal imperfections and problematic aspects of the new legal regulation of inspections and procedural actions by the AMCU’s bodies in part of ensuring observance of rights of undertakings.
European principles and division of common property of spouses: implementation in national family law
Authors: Lisoviy S. A.
Published: March 2024

The scientific article examines the importance of the implementation of European principles for the reform of norms regarding the division of common property of spouses. It was revealed that European researchers indicate a number of problems that arise in cross-border marriages (the spouses are citizens of different EU member states or foreign countries) in the case of the division of common property, when the marriage ends in divorce or the persons were not married, but in a registered partnership, but as well as cases when one of the parties dies during the trial. It has been established that the issues of implementation of European principles for the reformation of national norms regarding the division of common property of spouses have not been sufficiently investigated.

It was revealed that at the level of the European Union, the formation of joint approaches to the regulation of property relations lasted more than one decade. The adoption of the first public acts was preceded by a number of scientific studies and publications. Adoption of European legislation on the regulation of property relations of spouses was defined as a priority in the Vienna Action Plan of 1998. In 2011, «Proposals on the Regulation of the Council on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law and Recognition and Enforcement of Decisions in Matters of the Spousal Property Regime» were developed and submitted to the Parliament, which were withdrawn six years later.

It is substantiated that the activity of the Commission on European Family Law plays an important role in the harmonization of family law within the framework of the European Union. At the same time, among European scientists there is still no unity in the position of whether it is even possible to harmonize the family law of European states. Based on the analysis of the scientific works of European scientists, three main groups of views on this issue are distinguished.

It has been established that there is an ongoing discussion among European and national scientists about the harmonization of European family law. We share the approach that legal norms are already being harmonized in the sphere of regulation of individual institutions of family law, and under the influence of globalization and digitalization, the harmonization of family law of different EU member states will accelerate. Amendments to the Family Code of Ukraine are proposed for the implementation of European principles to the institution of the division of joint property of spouses.
Business safety: adaptation of home legislation to acquis of European Union
Authors: Zakharchuk A. S.
Published: March 2024

Contradictions of the development of Ukrainian society in the post-Soviet period are manifested, firstly: in such phenomena, which are negative for conducting business, such as corruption, the “shadow” economy, the absence, at the legislative level, of a regulated mechanism of property relations, and, secondly,

in aspirations to become a member of the European Union, with its democratic and universal values.

When it comes to the harmonization of domestic legislation with the EU acquis, it is worth noting that the specific features of the development of a certain community, its legal awareness and legal culture are reflected in legal relations. This contradiction requires a rational understanding of the peculiarities of the historical development of Ukrainian society.

Modern EU society is liberal. A universal feature of liberalism, a system of economic relations, is freedom, which is based on the right to own the means of production.

During the 20th century the influence of the mechanism of economic relations on a person, as a subject of his own rights, increased. Therefore, the state policy, coordinated with international law, is designed to ensure the protection of human rights from abuses of the business environment.

The social dimension of economic phenomena and processes is manifested through the prism of economic and legal research, thanks to which cause-and-effect relationships, effectiveness and expediency of the adoption of this or that normative-legal act are clarified. A comprehensive analysis of socio-economic processes, while preserving the essential unity of legal phenomena and economic institutions, contributes to an objective assessment of the social effectiveness of individual legal norms, the role of the law, its interaction with such spheres of social life as economy, politics, culture, etc.

At the end of 2013, the then President of Ukraine’s refusal to sign the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU led to large-scale protests against the authorities. Subsequently, not agreeing with the independent choice of the people of Ukraine, the leadership of the Russian Federation resorted to military aggression.

At the same time, having lost control over part of the territory and having suffered economic and demographic losses, the authorities and society of Ukraine remained consistent supporters of democratic values and European choices.
The peculiarities of the execution of natural gas supply contracts
Authors: Yurkevych Yu. M. , Krupnyk R. V.
Published: March 2024

The legal basis for the functioning of the natural gas market of Ukraine, based on the principles of free competition, proper protection of consumer rights and security of natural gas supply, has been determined by the Law of Ukraine “On the Natural Gas Market” No. 329-VIII dated 04/09/2015.

The supply of natural gas to household consumers is carried out on the basis of the standard contract. According to the content of the provisions of the Code of the Gas Transportation System and the Code of the Gas Distribution System, it is understood that, in order to supply natural gas to consumers, its supplier purchases this gas from a wholesaler at a virtual point of sale, and consumers receive it directly from the operator of gas distribution networks at the limit of the balance sheet ownership of their facilities (at destinations). In the context of updating the civil legislation of Ukraine and its harmonization with the law of the European Union, the study of the peculiarities of the execution of the gas supply contract as a type of contract for the supply of energy and the other resources through the connected network is relevant. Taking into account the specifics of the supply object, namely that natural gas is a commercial product that is a mixture of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon components in a gaseous state under standard conditions, the legal nature of the supply contract has certain peculiarities. At the same time, under the contract for the supply of energy and the other resources through the connected network, one party (supplier) undertakes to provide the other party (consumer, subscriber) with energy and the other resources provided for in the contract, and the consumer (subscriber) undertakes to pay the cost of the received resources and to comply with the mode of its use stipulated by the contract, as well as to ensure safe operation of energy and the other equipment.

The peculiarities of the execution of the contract for the supply of natural gas have been determined by the legal regime of the commercial product, which is natural gas, and the peculiarities of its supply (no other than through the gas transportation and gas distribution systems in which natural gas is received from various economic entities, as a result of which it is mixed and changes in physical chemical parameters).

Türk ve Rus Atasözleri Üzerinden Toplumlardaki Erkek Algısı
Authors: Dalkılıç Leyla Çiğdem , Aral Doğa
Published: March 2024

Toplumun gelişim aşamasının çeşitli dönemlerinde belirli dil yapılarında sabitlenerek ortaya çıkan kültürel değerler ve düşünceler, halkların kendilerini çevreleyen dünyaya, nesne, kişi ve olaylara yaklaşımını anlamamızda yardımcı olmaktadır. Bu sabit dil yapıları aracılığıyla dil çalışmaları çerçevesinde toplumların dilsel dünya görüşü incelenebilmektedir. Bir halkın dil dünya görüşünü en iyi yansıtabilecek arkaik yapılar arasında ise atasözleri yer almaktadır. İnsanlık tarihinin eskiye ait dünya görüşünün en belirgin bilgilerini içerisinde barındıran atasözleri, bizlere geçmişten günümüze insan kültürünün en zengin ve sağlam temelli kaynakları olarak yansımaktadır. Erkek egemenliğinin üstün olduğu çoğu toplumda, atasözleri üzerinden yapılan araştırmalar çoğunlukla toplumda kadın kavramı, kadının toplumdaki yeri, kadının nasıl olduğu veya olması gerektiğine yöneliktir. Toplumların erkeğe yönelik bakış açısını anlamak adına bu alanda tek başına yapılan çalışmaların sayısı daha az olmakla birlikte çoğunlukla “kadın ve erkek” incelemelerde bir bütün olarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu incelemede Türk ve Rus dillerinde bulunan atasözleri üzerinden her iki toplumun erkeğe olan yaklaşımı irdelenmiş, erkeğe yüklenen roller ve onlara yönelik olan bakış açıları tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Böylece her iki toplumun erkeğe yönelik tutumlarının da sosyolojik bir değerlendirmesi ortaya çıkartılmaya çalışılmıştır. Veri toplama, analiz ve karşılaştırma yöntemleriyle her iki dildeki atasözleri, anlamsal özelliklerine göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Rusçadaki atasözlerinin, çoğu doğrudan çeviri yöntemiyle aktarılmış olup anlamın bulanıklaştığı yerlerde açıklayıcı çevirilere başvurulmuştur. Türkçede anlaşılması güç olan atasözlerinden bazıları da açıklamaları ile birlikte sunulmuştur. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda, her iki toplumda erkek imajına yönelik benzerlikler ve farklılıklar ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır.
Kutadgu Bilig ve İndeksi Üzerine Düzeltme Teklifleri
Authors: Özçelik Sadettin
Published: March 2024

Kutadgu Bilig gibi tarihsel ve felsefi derinliği olan bir metni okumaya çalışmak, çok çetin bir iştir. En geniş tarihsel metinlerden olan bu eser, Türkçenin kelimelerine, deyimlerine ve söz kalıplarına tanıklık eder. Bu nedenle R. Rahmeti Arat’ın eser üzerindeki çalışması ve hazırlanmış olan indeks, değerlidir. Ancak böylesi tarihsel ve derinlikli bir eserin neresinde hangi kültürel öge veya değerle ilgili hangi söz varlığının karşınızda olduğunu her zaman teşhis etmek oldukça güçtür. Metindeki kelimelerin ve bağlamın izini sürerken karşınıza sorunlar yumağının tahmin edilemez derecede şaşırtıcı örnekleri çıkabilmektedir. Eserdeki okuma ve anlaşılma sorunlarının bazıları yazılışları aynı olan kelimelerin yanlış okunması, deyimlerin teşhis edilememiş olması, dil yapılarının fark edilmemiş olması nedeniyle ortaya çıkmış olabilir. Bir kısım sorunlar ise bağlam ve anlamın iyi izlenememiş olması veya eserin manzum oluşundan kaynaklanmış olabilir. Çünkü manzum eserlerde düz yazıdan farklı olarak ve çoğu zaman vezin gereği olarak yer değiştirmiş veya eksiltilmiş/kısaltılmış dil ögeleri söz konusu olabilmektedir. Ayrıca metinde karşılaşılan yapı, bazen başka bir metinde geçmemiş veya başka metinlerden farklı anlamda kullanılmış olabilir. Başka metinlerde geçmeyen bir dil yapısını doğru okuyup anlamak için eldeki en sağlam anahtar elbette bağlamdır. Türkçenin tarihsel metinleri, sayıca az ve oldukça sınırlı genişliktedir. Bir eserin yazıldığı dönemde kullanılan dilin bütün sözcüklerine, dil yapılarına ve bunların bütün anlamlarına tanıklık etmesi elbette beklenemez. Böylesi geniş ve tarihsel bir metinde farklı okuma sorunlarının bulunması ise mümkündür. İşte bu makalede Arat’ın hazırlamış olduğu Kutadgu Bilig metni ve fişleri ile dil içi aktarmasından hareketle hazırlanmış olan indeks üzerine düzeltme teklifleri yapılmaktadır.
Aleksandr N. Samoyloviç: Bir Literatür Değerlendirmesi
Authors: Karaca Serdar
Published: March 2024

Türklük bilimine önemli katkıları olan Aleksandr Nikolayeviç Samoyloviç üzerine araştırmalar sürmektedir. Araştırmaların sürmesinde arşivlerde kendisiyle ilgili araştırılmayı bekleyen çok sayıda malzemenin olması, ayrıca yeni bilgi ve vesikaların bulunması etkili olmaktadır. Araştırmalar özellikle Rusya, Türkiye ve diğer Türk cumhuriyetlerindeki araştırmacılar tarafından yapılmaktadır ve yayınların dili genellikle Rusça ve Türkçedir. Rusya ve Türk cumhuriyetlerindeki araştırmacıların Türklük bilimci olmalarıyla Türkiye’deki çalışmaları takip edip anladıklarını varsayabiliriz. Ancak Türkiye tarafında bir dil engeli söz konusudur. Buna bağlı olarak da araştırma alanıyla ilgili son gelişmelerin takip edilmesinde sorun yaşandığını varsaymak mümkündür. Çalışmada bu varsayımdan hareket edilerek 2018-2022 dönemini kapsayan 5 yılda, Rusça yayımlanmış 11 makale incelenmiştir. Temel amaç bunların alana katkılarının neler olduğunu, ayrıca alanda gelinen son durumu tespit etmek ve Türkiye’deki ilgililerin dikkatine sunmaktır. Kullanılan yöntem, makalelerin amaçlarının ve sonuçlarının tespit edilmesi, ayrıca atıf ve kaynaklarının literatürle ilişkisinin çözümlenmesine dayanmaktadır. Bulgulara göre incelenen 11 makalenin bir kısmı daha önceki çalışmalarda ortaya konanların bir tekrarıdır ve bunlar alana sınırlı bir katkıda bulunur, bununla beraber bazı makaleler hem yeni bulgu ve tespitler sunarak hem de yeni yaklaşımlar getirerek alana önemli katkılar sunar. Bunlar, mektup ve fotoğraflardan hareketle ortaya konan makalelerdir ve şu sonucu verirler: Samoyloviç muhabirler ve fotoğraflar vasıtasıyla Türklük bilimi araştırmalarının çok erken bir döneminde, doğrulanabilir bilgiye ulaşmayı gaye edinen bir araştırma ve inceleme yöntemi benimsemiştir.
Greko-Baktriya ve Eski Türk Hukuk Belgeleri
Authors: Karaketir Eray
Published: March 2024

Tarihî ve kültürel açıdan Asya kıtasının öne çıkan coğrafyalarından birisi olan Baktriya bölgesi; bugünkü Kuzey Afganistan, Kuzeydoğu İran,
Güney Özbekistan, Güneydoğu Türkmenistan ve Güneybatı Tacikistan
arasında yer alan topraklardan meydana gelmektedir. Söz konusu bölgeye
dair ilk tarihî bilgiler, Asurlular zamanına ait olmakla birlikte bölge, Pers
(Ahameniş) İmparatorluğu döneminden (MÖ 550-330) itibaren çeşitli tarihî kayıtlarda sıklıkla anılmaya başlanmıştır. Perslerin egemenliği altında
Pers kültürünü benimseyen Baktriya, Makedonya kralı Büyük İskender’in
egemenliğine girmesiyle birlikte Eski Yunan kültürüyle tanışmıştır. Böylelikle Doğu ve Batı kültürlerinin iç içe geçmesiyle bölge, Helenistik kültüre
ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Helenizm, bölgeyi birçok yönden etkilemiş ve bu
etki ileriki dönemlerde bölgede kullanılan dil ve yazıda kendisini hissettirmiştir. Nitekim Makedonya İmparatorluğu’nun zayıflamasıyla birlikte bölgede kurulan Greko-Baktriya Krallığı döneminde (MÖ 250-130) bölgenin
konuşma ve yazı dili Eski Yunanca (Grekçe) olmuş, Kuşan İmparatorluğu
döneminde (MÖ 130-MS 230) ise Eski Yunancanın yerini Eski Yunan yazılı Baktriya dili, diğer isimlendirmeyle Greko-Baktriyaca almıştır (s. 14).
Değerlendirmesi yapılan eser, bu dilde yazılmış hukuk metinleri ile Eski
Türkçe hukuk metinleri temelinde kaleme alınmıştır.
Bath Culture: Bath Custom-Tradition in Azerbaijani National Films
Authors: Garayeva Nurengiz
Published: March 2024

Bath culture emerging with the cleansing power of water is a civilizational experience coming down from past to present. The conducted archaeological and ethnographic studies have proved that the mankind have used baths since ancient times. The bath, which was highly appreciated by all nations, has been an integral part of their cultures and lifestyles. Although this concept presented as a place is a variable to be constructed and transformed, it denotes a process determining human relations and cultural manifestations in the social structure. The spread of baths is also connected with the features of migration factors transferring the mankind’s experience, habits and lifestyle to new settlements.

The paper studies the emergence and development history of baths, the physiological and hygienic aspects of the effect of baths on the human body. The main role of films in the human life and the skillful illumination of bath scenes in various styles in Azerbaijani films (“Qanun namina”, “If Not That One, Then This One”, “I Want To Get Married”, “The Stab in the Back”) are noted in the article, as well.
Practical problems of dynamic similarity criteria in fluid–solid interaction at different fluid–solid relative motions
Authors: Flaga Andrzej , Kłaput Renata , Flaga Łukasz
Published: March 2024

The work concerns dynamic similarity criteria of various phenomena occurring in hydraulics and fluid dynamics originally derived from ratios of forces and forces moments affecting these phenomena. The base of dynamic similarity criteria formulations and considerations is A. Flaga’s method and procedure for determining dynamic similarity criteria in different issues of fluid–solid interactions i.e. at different fluid–solid relative motions. The paper concerns the determination and analysis of dynamic similarity criteria for various practical problems encountered mainly in hydraulics and fluid dynamics at steady, smooth fluid onflow in front of a solid. Moreover, the cases of mechanically induced vibrations of a body in a stationary fluid moving with constant velocity in front of the body have been presented. Assuming authorial method and procedure for determining dynamic similarity criteria, its have been presented and analysed in the paper both well known similarity numbers obtained in another way (e.g. from dimensional analysis or differential equations for particular problems – as Reynolds, Froude, Euler, Cauchy, Strouhal, Mach numbers) – as well as several new similarity numbers encountered in different fluid solid interaction problems (e.g. new forces and moments coefficients encountered in problems of vibrating solid bodies in fluids).
