Authors: Kirti Divya , Jain Dinesh , Patil Kedar , Phalgune Deepak
Published: December 2022

Background: The existence of numerous techniques for creation of pneumoperitoneum at laparoscopy indicates that none has been proven totally efficacious or complication free. There is dearth of study in India comparing these techniques. The aim of present study was to compare the safety and duration for creating pneumoperitoneum between direct trocar (DT) and Veress needle (VN) technique.Methods: One hundred-fourteen patients aged between 18 and 70 years were included in this single-blind randomized controlled study. Group DT and group VN patients underwent laparoscopic surgery after trocar placement by direct trocar insertion technique and Veress needle technique respectively. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of complications whereas secondary outcome measures were number of items required and time needed to introduce the laparoscope. Intergroup comparison of categorical and continuous variables was done using the Chi-square test/Fisher’s exact test and unpaired t-test respectively.Results: The number of attempts for trocar placement, and complications were comparable between direct trocar and Veress needle group. The mean duration of trocar placement at the first attempt was 102.6 and 142.3 seconds in direct trocar and Veress needle group respectively (p value =0.001).Conclusions: Veress needle is a safe, efficient, and rapid alternative technique as compared to direct trocar.

Condyle dislocation accounts for 3% of all the dislocations of different joints in the body. They are basically classified based on duration as acute, chronic and recurrent, the most difficult to manage being chronic longstanding. This study of case series was carried out to enunciate and discuss optimal treatment protocols to enhance the postoperative result and functionally rehabilitate the patient. Data were recorded of patients of chronic long standing condyle dislocation (CLSCD) between 2012 to 2019. Predictor variables were drawn from demographics age, gender, aetiology, duration of dislocation status. The outcome variables were surgical success rate and complications. Surgical treatment included endaural pre auricular approach, high condylar shave with eminoplasty, elastic traction for a period of 5-7 days and mouth opening exercises. 15 patients with CLSCD of more than a month duration were identified out of 65 reported with other forms of acute and recurrent dislocation. The 12 (80%) were bilateral and 3 (20%) were unilateral. Three (20%) were of interpersonal violence, 3 (20%) had cerebrovascular accident, 3 (20%) following RTA with other major injuries, and 1 patient (6.6%) very rare unusual history of dislocation during labor pain reporting after six months. All patients had unsuccessful attempted conservative management. Surgical intervention and outcome were excellent. Complications recorded were 3 patients (20%) had transient facial nerve weakness, 2 (13.3%) infection.  Conservative manipulation has definitive role in acute and recurrent cases but surgical approach or open procedure in chronic long-standing cases is the choice with duration of condylar dislocation being the decisive factor for difficulty index.

The objective of this article is to know about the chronic gastrointestinal manifestations of Chagas which are mainly a result of enteric nervous system impairment caused by T. cruzi infection. The anatomical locations most commonly described to be affected by Chagas disease are salivary glands, esophagus, lower esophageal sphincter, stomach, small intestine, colon, gallbladder and biliary tree. Most people suffer cardiac damage, including cardiomyopathy, heart rhythm abnormalities and often an apical aneurysm.
About the many faces of autism spectrum disorder: from psychoanalysis to biological markers. Could the methionine sulfoxide reductase enzymes play a role?
Authors: Achilli Cesare , Ciana Annarita , Minetti Giampaolo
Published: December 2022

Autism spectrum disorder is a dramatic condition for the affected children, their families and the entire society. Genetic and environmental factors are involved in its pathogenesis and oxidative stress appears to be the main trigger. Methionine sulfoxide reductase enzymes are physiologically involved in the contrast to oxidative stress and disorders in their expression/activity could result in several diseases. In the fight against autism spectrum disorder, this neglected biochemical feature should be taken into account.

Published: December 2022

: Hyper-coagulability followed by cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in CKD (chronic kidney disease). Diagnostic usefulness of hypercoagulability marker at various stages of CKD needs to be assessed.

: An observational cross-sectional study.

: Dept of Biochemistry, Institute of Nephrourology, Bangalore, India from January 2022 to March 2022.

Study population consists of CKD patients attending Nephrology outpatient for follow up. They were categorized into 5 stages using eGFR values. Laboratory test including D-Dimer was assayed in all the participants using Abbott Architect ci4100 analyzer.

In our study, a peaked and statistically significant (P value = <0.0001) D-Dimer values were observed in stage 4&5 (5.4 ±2.5) in comparison with stage 1, 2 & 3 (0.9±0.2). D- Dimer had strong negative correlationR= - 0.79 with eGFR in stage 5 CKD.

D-Dimer assay should be considered as a part of routine investigations in CKD patients especially in developing countries like India, where most of the patients reach hospital only at the later stages of the disease, in order to achieve a better follow-up and management of the disease.

Published: December 2022

: In chronic diseases in general and in diabetes mellitus and hypertension in particular, there is an important imbalance between antioxidant defenses and the production of free radicals due to reactive oxygen species, thus leading to an increase in oxidant stress markers. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the antioxydative and protective effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of trichilia emetica stem bark in albinos rats with alloxan-induced diabetes or adrenaline-induced hypertensive.

: Two different batches of albinos rats were used distinctly and including a control one of 3 rats for each batch so a test group of 21 rats. Diabetes was induced by injecting Alloxane® intraperitoneally for 7 days. Hypertension was induced by injecting Adrenaline® intraperitoneally for eight days and we used visitech BP 2000 tools to measure arterial pressure. The aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Trichilia emetica were prepared and the obtained mixture was homogenized using a magnetic stirrer for 24 hours. Rats received the above-mentioned extracts orally at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg bw for 6 days.

: Aorta and heart activities of catalase were significantly increased. This same trend was observed with superoxide dismutase activity together with increasing AChE catalytic activity in vessels. Treatment of rats for seven days with extracts of Trichilia emetic and nifedipineproduced a significant decrease of antioxidative markers activities of catalase and SOD for aqueous and ethanolic extracts as well. This action was slightly above nifedipineone administrated at 10 and 20 mg/kg bw. For rats treated with Trichilia emetica or with diastabolwe registered a significant decrease of MDA and GSH concentration.

Our results showed that the extracts have the potential to reduce the rate of reactive oxygen species and free radicals in rats with alloxane-induced diabetes or adrenaline-induced hypertensive. However, further large studies are needed to investigate the specific action and particularity of Trichilia emetica that could justify these activities.

Authors: Costa Laryssa Dos Reis , Do Rosário Nathalia Jully Araújo , Santana Aleff Dos Santos
Published: December 2022

Cada vez mais a literatura especializada demanda por pesquisas em história das organizações, em especial para entender práticas do passado que estão afetando o presente. Dentre essas necessidades, procura-se conhecer mais sobre a accountability social e a sustentabilidade ambiental em épocas sem desenvolvimento tecnológico. Diante disso, para atender essa chamada da literatura, o presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar como a accountability social apoia a sustentabilidade ambiental na Amazônia. Para efeito, usou-se o método da pesquisa histórica através do exame documental. Os dados foram coletados na Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil, no período de 1740 a 2019. Os resultados mostram que as primeiras preocupações e atitudes relacionadas ao meio ambiente, na região amazônica, remetem a década de 80, quando algumas empresas começaram a compreender a importância da responsabilidade ambiental no seu desenvolvimento social. Ainda, notou-se que no passado as empresas assumiram mais a responsabilidade social com o meio ambiente, incorporando essa característica como estratégia corporativa, em decorrência principalmente da accountability. Logo, essas evidências contribuem para o conhecimento da prática da sustentabilidade ambiental contemporânea por apontar que no passado a responsabilização ativa realizada pela população ajudou a melhorar a transparência, a prestação de contas e a divulgação de dados ambientais pelas organizações.

Doğu Batı Çekişmesinin Bir Aracı Olarak İslamofobi’nin Pragmatik Nedenleri Üzerine Makāsıdü’ş-Şerîa Bağlamında Bir Tahlil Denemesi
Authors: BOZKURT Mustafa
Published: December 2022

Batılıların eskiden beri, Müslümanları ve İslam’ı kendi varoluşlarının önünde bir engel olarak gördükleri söylenebilir. Sürekli kendilerini üstün görüp kendileri gibi olmayanları küçümseme yoluna gitmişlerdir. Bu bakış açısının oluşturduğu önyargı, İslam medeniyetini görmelerinin önünde bir engel oluşturmuştur. Her ne kadar birçok bilim insanı ve düşünür, İslam düşüncesinden etkilenerek bu birikimi değerlendirme çabasına girseler de yönetimler ve halklar meseleye karşıtlık olarak bakmışlardır. Müslümanların fetihler yoluyla Batılı (Hristiyan) toplumların ülkelerini fethetmeye başlamalarıyla bu kin daha da artmıştır. Viyana Kilise Konseyi’nin destekleriyle kurulan Oryantalizm Araştırma Merkezleri'nin amacı, Doğuluları/Müslümanları anlama yerine onları tüm yönleriyle tanıyarak bulabildikleri zayıf tarafları üzerinden bu mücadeleyi daha sistematik hale getirmek olmuştur. Böylece Batılılar kendilerinin her alanda üstün olduğunu Müslümanların ise eskiden beri gerici olduğunu ve düzeltilmeleri gerekenler olduğunu Müslüman zihnine yerleştirmek istemişlerdir. Modern dönemde Batı’da dinin bilime ve ilerlemeye aykırı olduğu ve tüm anlaşmazlıkların kaynağı olduğu düşüncesi hâkim olmuştur. Bu nedenle din ve dinî olandan arındırılmış bir insan ve toplum oluşturulması hedeflenmiştir. Seküler bir toplum denemesinin yapıldığı modern dönemde insanlar mutlu edilememişlerdir. Postmodern döneme gelindiğinde manevi ve inanç yönü ihmal edilen insan bunun özlemiyle dine tekrar yönelme eğilimi göstermiştir. Batılı yönetimler, siyasetçiler ve küresel sermayeler bu yönelişin İslam’a olmaması için her türlü çareye başvurmuşlardır. İslamofobi’nin inşası da bu arayışın somut bir kanıtı olmuştur. Özellikle ABD’de gerçekleştirilen 11 Eylül olayları ve takip eden diğer birçok Batılı devletlerde görülen terörist saldırılarının failinin Müslümanlardan olması Batı’da İslamofobi’nin, inşasının payandası olmuştur. Küresel sermayelerin kapital iştahları ve kadim düşmanlıklar İslamofobi ile Müslüman ülkelerine doğrudan müdahalenin kapısını aralamıştır. İslamofobi sayesinde hem Batı toplumlarında hem de birçok Doğu toplumunda bu müdahale meşru olarak kabul görmüştür. Bu çalışmada inşa edilen İslamofobi’nin nasıl bir pragmatik araca dönüştürüldüğü üzerinde durulmuştur. Batı’nın özellikle de ABD’nin iştahını kabartan Ortadoğu’nun enerji ve petrol kaynaklarını kontrol altına almasında İslamofobi’nin bir meşruiyet aracı haline getirildiği irdelenmiştir. Gelinen noktada ise Batı ve ABD’nin hedeflerine büyük oranda ulaştığı görülmüştür. Fakat müdahale edilen toplumlarda yoksulluk, terör olayları, etnik ve mezhepsel bölünmeler, göçe zorlanan kitleler gibi çözümü yakın tarihte mümkün olmayan problemler bıraktığına vurgular yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Batılıların neden böyle davrandığı ve bununla neyi hedefledikleri nitel bir yöntemle ele alınarak bir tahlil denemesi yapılmıştır.
Spectral solution for a delay system with hyper-Erlang distributions
Authors: Tarasov Veniamin N. , Bakhareva Nadezhda F.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the construction of a mathematical model for delaying claims in a queue in the form of a queuing system described by two flows with the laws of distribution of time intervals shifted to the right by hyper-Erlang distributions of the second order. In the queuing theory, the study of systems G/G/1 is relevant because there is no solution in the final form for the general case. Therefore, various partial distribution laws are used as an arbitrary distribution law G in the study of such systems. In this case, the use of the shifted hyper-Erlang distribution law provides the coefficient of variation of the input flow arrival intervals and service time over the entire interval (0, ). To solve the problem, we used the method of spectral solution of the Lindley integral equation, which plays an important role in the queuing theory. This method made it possible to obtain asolution for the average delay of requests in the queue for the considered system in a closed form. As is known, the remaining characteristics of the queuing system are derivatives of the average delay of requests in the queue.
Increasing of bit error rate performance for OFDM systems over fading channels
Authors: Averina Larisa I. , Lafickiy Alexandr Yu.
Published: December 2022

A method for increasing performance of OFDM systems in multipath channels is proposed. The proposed method uses Kalman filter based channel estimator with block type pilot structure. Performance of the proposed method has been demonstrated for GSCM/EDGE channel models, typical for urban area and very small cells. The characteristics of the proposed algorithm are compared with other well-known methods. The impact of Doppler spread is considered. A computer simulation has been carried out to evaluate the required signal-to-noise ratio in case of fixed bit error probability. It is shown, that proposed method leads to lower bit error ratio for slow fading case, but its performance degrades with increasing Doppler frequency.
Analysis of heating of printed circuit board conductors on a metal base for spacecraft devices at pulsed current
Authors: Kostin Alexey V.
Published: December 2022

The article presents the results of the analysis of heating of printed circuit conductors of printed circuit boards mounted on a metal base, on-board device of spacecraft when pulsed current flows through them. Thermal transient and impulse characteristics of a system consisting of a printed conductor and a printed circuit board are considered. The analysis of the dependence of the temperature rise rate of printed conductors and the duration of transient processes on the linear dimensions of the system elements is given. It is noted in the article that the time of transient processes most strongly depends on the thickness of the layer of insulating materials. All the results were obtained in the process of modeling transients in the ANSYS 2019 R1 Transient Thermal module. Practical recommendations on the consideration of thermal transients in printed conductors in the design of printed circuit boards are given.

Authors: Chibilеv A. A. , Velmovskiy P. V.
Published: December 2022

Aim. The goal is to consider landscape aspects of nature management optimisation in the transboundary basin of the Ural River which have not been taken into account until the present time through measures being developed to improve the ecological state of the basin and its main river.

Materials and Methods. The long‐term data of the hydrological regime of the rivers of the basin are analysed. The article summarizes the experience of optimizing water management relations in the river basin and the main results of the activities of the Inter‐Republican Committee on the Ural River basin (1977–1994).

Results. Cycles of low‐water and high‐water years in the 20th–beginning of the 21st century are revealed. A list of priority landscape restoration measures has been developed and their ordination according to natural zones and types of localities has been carried out.

Conclusions. It is confirmed that the highest and most effective form of territorial protection of landscape and biological diversity are natural reserves – special natural protected areas forming a landscape‐ecological framework. A number of ecological‐stabilising protected natural territories are proposed including the Ural‐Caspian Protected Fisheries Zone, which is aimed at partial restoration of the sturgeon population of the Ural‐Caspian basin adapted to the changed hydrological regime.

Aim. Experimental assessment of the impact of electric fields generated by the Electronic Programmable Complex Fish‐protecting Facility on the Electric Principle (EP EPRCFF) on the most common fish species of the Black Sea.

Material and Methods. Experimental studies were conducted at the marine test site in the Quarantine Bay of the Black Sea (May‐September, 2021). The following were investigated on larvae, juvenile and adult fish of common species: behavioral responses to electrical fields, survival during and after exposure to the electric field of the fish barrier and the effects of electricity on the reproductive system and biochemical parameters of fish.

Results. The features of behavior and distribution of larvae, juvenile and adult fish in the electric field of a fish barrier in modes of different intensity have been analysed. Survival estimation of fish during and after electric influence of the fish barrier has been carried out. The data on the influence of the electric screen on the reproductive system of fish and the biochemical characteristics of their internal organs were analysed.

Conclusion. The larvae of fish exhibit a clear “first reaction” to the impact of the electric fish screen. However, there is no avoidance effect (i.e. escape of fish larvae from the area of the working electrode system). The juveniles actively move from the operation zone of the fish‐protective device, avoiding the influence of the electric field. The maximum distance from the electrode system EPRCFF was recorded in adult fish. Significant differences were not revealed in the direct assessment of the survival rate of control and experimental groups of individuals of different species of marine fish after exposure to the electric fish barrier. Some differences on the reproductive system of the fish species studied in the structure of gonads and reactivity of cells were noted under the influence of the electric barrier. The biochemical status of the internal organs under electrical action differed in various species of marine fish.
EGO-DOCUMENT AS A SOURCE OF PERFORMANCE IN A MODERN PLAY
Authors: Zhurcheva Olga V.
Published: December 2022

In the latest dramaturgy, the so-called ego-document is often used as a plot outline, that is, a text that has as its object the circumstances of the life of the author himself and is written by a person from an egocentric position. Such an ego-document becomes a kind of ego-text: text, where only the point of view of the character performing the functions of the narrator is presented. Such a position, alien to the dramatic nature, creates a special type of performativity, which is realized both in the text itself and in readings and theatrical productions.

THE PROBLEMS AND PECULIARITIES OF THE USE OF VIDEO CONFERENCE IN CIVIL PROCEEDING OF UKRAINE
Authors: Tokarchuk L. M.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the problems and features of the use of video conferencing in the civil proceedings of Ukraine. The use of modern video communication technologies in court proceedings allows solving the problem of territorial remoteness, saving the time of par­ticipants in court proceedings and reducing court costs. In conditions of quarantine, transport restrictions and forced self-isolation, and later - in conditions of war, change of territorial juris­diction and evacuation of a significant number of the population from their places of permanent residence, access to justice becomes difficult. In conditions where direct appearance in court is complicated by territorial or security factors, video conferencing guarantees the right of a person to participate in court sessions. At the same time, the institution of videoconferencing in the civil justice system of Ukraine is relatively new, which causes potential and real practical problems in its functioning. This makes the study of its features and problems relevant.
The article defines the sectoral and national peculiarities of the use of video conferencing in the civil proceedings of Ukraine. The following problems have been identified in the use of video conferencing in civil proceedings:
1) unsettled issue of the procedure for initiating participation in the court session in the mode of video conference of other participants in the court process: witnesses, experts, legal experts, specialists, translators;
2) lack of an exhaustive list of reasons for refusing to grant an application (petition) to participate in a court session in videoconference mode;
3) the uncertainty of the question of whether it will be allowed to participate in a video conference outside the court premises after the end of the quarantine;
4) excessive formalism when establishing the requirement to send a copy of the applica­tion for participation in the court session to other participants in the court session via video conference outside the court premises;
5) the requirement to submit an application (petition) for participation in a court session in video conference mode for each court session separately;
6) disproportionate risk distribution of the technical impossibility of participating in a video conference outside the court premises;
7) depriving the participant of the case of the opportunity to indicate several courts in the application for participation in the court session in the mode of video conference;
8) the requirement to pay a court fee for access to the audio and video recording of a video conference, which is not provided for by law, but is provided for by a bylaw act;
9) the possibility of conducting a case hearing in the absence of a participant who appeared at another court to participate in a video conference, but was unable to participate in it for rea­sons beyond his control.

There are three races of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) that affect bananas and plantains, though the Cavendish group banana cultivars are resistant to Foc race 1 (FocR1) and Foc race 2 (FocR2). However, there are no effective control methods for the Tropical Race 4 (R4T). The foregoing makes it necessary to generate biological control strategies for FocR2 fungal model that is present in Mexico, forecasting the potential introduction of FocR4T into our country. In vitro inhibition was evaluated of bacterial strains Bacillus subtilis (BASU), B. velezensis (BAVE), and B. sonorensis (BASO) against three isolates of FocR2 (MIC17188, MIC17191 and MIC17192), obtained from plant samples collected in three banana production sites in the states of Puebla, Michoacán and Oaxaca. At 14 days, the strain BASU had in average high inhibition (55.1%) in comparison to BAVE and BASO strains (45.8 and 21.7%, respectively) against the three fungal strains mentioned before. In addition, the in vitro inhibition of Paenibacillus sp. (BSP 1.1) and Serratia sp. (AC35) was also evaluated by considering three pre-inoculation timings; the strain BSP1.1 showed high inhibition (80.1%) when pre-inoculated individually seven days before the fungus and at seven days of confrontation.
Variability of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, resistance and agronomic behavior of two-row barley germplasm
Authors: Rodríguez-García María Florencia , González-González Miguel , Mandujano-Bueno Andrés
Published: December 2022

Barley crop production in Mexico in recent years has been affected by rust, of which yellow rust (YR) has regained its importance. This investigation aimed to identify the variability of YR and to evaluate the resistance level of seedlings and adult plants, the agronomic behavior of 15 advanced lines, and one control variety of two-row barley. During the 2021 spring-summer season, YR samples were collected from locations in the Highland Valleys of Central Mexico. Establishment of a field test in three locations allowed estimation of the agronomic behavior and resistance in adult plants; while evaluation of seedlings resistance was in a greenhouse. Nine YR isolations were identified, of which the most frequent (27%) was CMEX/21.9. Twelve lines expressed resistance in seedlings and adult plants. Alexia “s” is the candidate line with immunity to yellow rust. The results of resistance (field and greenhouse) and agronomic behavior allowed germplasm identification with outstanding characteristics. The release of varieties with genetic resistance to diseases contributes to the reduction of environmental deterioration.
Populism, courts and institucionalidad: a view from Latin America
Authors: Rezende Gabriel
Published: December 2022

This paper addresses the relationship between populism and constitutional courts, with reference to the Latin American context. By means of a genealogical reconstruction of the ideas of populism and institucionalidad, we study how the debate on judicial activism has been taken up by populist politics. We introduce a theoretical model that sees in contemporary forms of populism a strategy to reparadoxify the legal system, denying courts the ability to protect the organisational autonomy of the judiciary. This is of interest because, in the last 30 years, the courts have represented a new field for the creation of democratic legitimacy, allowing minority groups to defend their political agendas through fundamental rights litigation.

Published: December 2022

Review research that analyses topic based on empirical data reported in other studies is still rare. This study aims to determine the empirical evidence regarding the differences in educational characteristics in traditional, modern and globalised societies. This research uses qualitative approach through library research and review. The study results show that educational characteristics in traditional societies are still influenced by culture and kinship principles and have limited information and communication technology (ICT). On the other hand, educational characteristics in modern society are already using ICT, adjusting student needs and improving the quality of teachers and facilities. In addition, the characteristics of education in society in the globalisation era have no space and time boundaries, and most educational activities use ICT. Therefore, this research is expected to be source of information and reflection about the distribution of the quality of education, which has not been evenly distributed until now.

Published: December 2022

Academic achievement has become a phenomenon of interest to all, which explains why scientists have worked all out to disentangle the elements that impede student academic success. Despite the plethora of causal factors determining student academic success, this study focuses on revealing how teacher teaching performance and student learning motivation affect academic achievement in Indonesian language subjects among state junior high school students. Two survey questionnaires and the Indonesian language academic record were used to collect data from a total of 345 students, conveniently drawn from among the students enrolled at the state junior high schools in Merauke Regency, Indonesia. Obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis using simple linear regression by utilising the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 21. The statistical results showed that the teacher teaching performance and student learning motivation impact significantly positively on the academic achievement in Indonesian language subjects among the state junior high school students. Teachers are crucial to the academic performance of all the students they teach and play a more dominating role in motivating children who are at risk of academic failure. Teachers are crucial to the academic performance of all the students they teach and play a more dominating role in motivating children who are at risk of academic failure and/or performing below their academic potential.

Published: December 2022

The displacement of the royal elite from political affairs to be replaced by the colonial government automatically meant the loss of royal patronage of its people in the 19th century. Therefore it is only natural that the people then seek protection from charismatic figures outside the royal elite, among them are kyai and clerics, one of whom is Sheikh Ahmad Rifa'i. To explore the history data, researchers used a literature review approach. This movement started as a purely religious movement, but due to the increasing number of members, it is considered as a movement that is against the government. In its journey as a social-religious movement, the movement driven by Sheikh Ahmad Rifa'i received various upheavals, both from indigenous figures to the Dutch colonial government. However, in general, this movement was considered to be against the government, so it was isolated in the Kalisalak area

Future of Voltammetry
Authors: Gulaboski Rubin
Published: December 2022

It is exactly one hundred years ago when the first paper about the development of polarography was published in 1922. Polarography is considered a predecessor of voltammetry, and this iconic electrochemical technique was designed by the Nobel laureate Jaroslav Heyrovsky. In this short review, the aim is to highlight some of the most important achievements of voltammetry so far. While hints are given to some of the most important theoretical works related to various electrode mechanisms in cyclic voltammetry and pulse voltammetric techniques, a critical part is written that should help to improve the communication between theoretical and experimental electrochemists. Since a main application of voltammetry is in the field of constructing biosensors, some of the major achievements and several drawbacks of applying voltammetric techniques in designing sensors are discussed. In a small part of this review, the role of nanomaterials in voltammetry is also considered. As scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) seems to be most promising instrumental system that will bring voltammetry a step closer to probing real biological systems, critical aspects about the weaknesses of this technique are also briefly discussed. In the final outlooks, we present a set of directions in which voltammetry will develop in the coming years. The paper is written in a way to motivate younger electrochemists to get more involved in exploring the voltammetry.
Voltammetric determination of anti-malarial drug amodiaquine at a boron-doped diamond electrode surface in an anionic surfactant media
Authors: Kamal Sara Kurdo , Yardım Yavuz
Published: December 2022

In this study, the electrochemical determination of the amodiaquine (ADQ) drug was evaluated using an electrochemically pretreated boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode due to the enhanced surface activity. The cyclic voltammogram results of ADQ were given as single reversible and diffusion-controlled peaks at +0.48 V for the oxidation peak and +0.05 V for the reduction peak (vs. Ag/AgCl) in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer at pH 8.0. The peak potential and current signals of ADQ were evaluated at the surface of the BDD electrode using instrumental parameters to develop a simple method for ADQ detection. Also, the effect of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), on the adsorption applicability of the BDD electrode significantly increased the stripping voltammetric determination of ADQ. Under the optimal conditions chosen and employing square-wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry at the BDD electrode, ADQ was determined at + 0.34 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) at the open-circuit condition in BR buffer at pH 8.0 in the presence of 2·10–4 mol l–1 SDS. Furthermore, analytical parameters showed the linear relationship for ADQ determination in the concentration range of 0.1–20.0 μg ml–1 (2.2·10–7 – 4.3·10–5 mol l–1), with a detection limit of 0.03 μg ml–1 (6.5·10–8 mol l–1). The proposed approach can be applied to determine ADQ in water samples.

Authors: DEMİR Halil , TÜRKAN Ahmet
Published: December 2022

Hıristiyanlıkta Meryem’le ilgili birçok dini bayram bulunmaktadır. Bu bayramlar, Meryem’in başına gelen hâdiseler ve ona atfedilen özellikler doğrultusunda kutlanmaktadır. Hıristiyanlara göre Meryem, tüm günahlardan arınmış ve hayatının sonunda İsa vasıtasıyla ölümden kurtularak cennete yükselmiştir. Nitekim 1854’te, Meryem’in günahsızlığı, 1950’de göğe yükselmesi Kilise doktrini olarak ilan edilmiştir. Meryem hakkındaki bu inançların Kilise tarafından benimsenmesiyle Meryem’in Göğe Yükseliş ve Günahsızlığı Bayramları Kilise takviminde yerini almıştır. Bu iki bayram Meryem’e adanan bayramlar arasında ön plana çıkan büyük kutlamaların yapıldığı zamanlardır. Bu araştırmada Katolikliğin yoğun olarak yaşandığı Avrupa ülkeleri esas alınarak Meryem’in Göğe Yükseliş ve Günahsızlığı Bayramlarındaki aile gelenekleri ele alınmıştır. Bu sayede Katolik ailelerin Meryem’e olan bağlılıkları ve söz konusu bayramlardaki gelenekleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada bu iki bayramın günümüzde nasıl kutlandığı sorusuna da cevap aranmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Avrupa ülkelerinden katılım sağlayan bireylerle görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Sözü geçen bayramların geçmişine ve bugününe ışık tutularak Katolik aile gelenekleri hakkında kapsamlı bilgiler verilmiştir.
Yûsuf b. Hilâl es-Safedî’nin Tefsirinde Hurûf-ı Mukatta’a Yorumu
Authors: YÜREKLİ Ahmet
Published: December 2022

Kur’ân-ı Kerim lafız ve mâna itibariyle eşsiz bir kelâmdır. Son ilahi kitap olan Kur’ân’ın i‘câz ve tehaddî yönünü ortaya koyan unsurlardan birisi de bazı sûrelerin başlarında yer alan hurûf-ı mukatta’alardır. Kur’ân ilimleri sahasında bir disiplin olarak değerlendirilen söz konusu harfler, yirmi dokuz sûrenin başında on dört farklı harften meydana gelen hece harfleridir. Kesik harfler olarak da ifade edilen bu harfler, daha ilk dönemlerden itibaren birçok müfessirin dikkatini çekmiş ve hakkında muhtelif değerlendirmeler yapılmış bir konudur. Tefsir tarihine bakıldığında hurûf-ı mukatta’a konusu her bir âlim tarafından kendi meşrebi ve anlayışı çerçevesinde yorumlandığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda birçok müfessir gibi Yûsuf b. Hilâl es-Safedî de Keşfü’l-esrâr ve hetkü’l-estâr adlı tefsirinde geniş bir şekilde ve etraflıca bu konuya eğilmiş ve orijinal diyebileceğimiz birtakım tespitlerde bulunmuştur. Safedî tefsirinde mukatta’a harflerini değerlendirmeden önce salt olarak harflerin şeklen ilk olarak ortaya çıkış serüvenine dair tahlillerde bulunmuş ve daha sonra harfleri şekil, telaffuz ve isimler noktasında gibi çeşitli açılardan değerlendirmeye tabi tutmuştur. Müfessir, harflere dair izah ve açıklamalarının ardından bazı sûre başlarında yer alan mukatta’a harflere yönelik çok yönlü izahlarda bulunduğu görülmektedir. Biz bu makalemizde müfessir Safedî’nin hurûf-ı mukata’aya getirmiş olduğu yorumları bu çerçevede değerlendirmeye çalıştık.
