Transient Fetal Non-Immune Second-Degree 2:1 Atrioventricular Block: A Case Report
Authors: Vassileva Zornitsa , Pavlova Elena , Markov Dimiter , Radulova Petya
Published: September 2024

We present a case of a transient second-degree 2:1 conduction atrioventricular (AV) block in a fetus with a structurally normal heart and fetal heart rate of 74 bpm at 21 weeks of gestation (WG). The maternal medical history was unremarkable and the autoantibody screening was negative. The subsequent follow-up documented complete resolution of the AV block at 25 WG. The fetal heart rate and AV conduction remained normal until delivery. The postnatal electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrated normal sinus rhythm and duration of corrected QT (QTc)-intervals. These observations remained normal upon follow-up. Although uncommon, second-degree AV block can be one of the underlying causes of fetal bradycardia.

Authors: Körpe Büşra , Kose Caner , Ergörün Samet Kutluay , Mermi Sümeyye , Keskin Hüseyin Levent
Published: September 2024

Aim: This study evaluates various anthropometric measurements, including BMI, Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR), Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), Conicity Index (C-index), and Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), to determine their association with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Material and Method: In this cross-sectional study, 304 postmenopausal women aged 45-75 years from a gynecology and menopause clinic participated. Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to assess Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Anthropometric measurements (waist circumference, hip circumference) were recorded, and indices (BMI, WHR, WHtR, C-index, VAI) were calculated. Demographic and medical histories were collected through questionnaires.
Results: BMI showed a positive association with lumbar spine (β = 0.503, p = 0.001) and femoral neck T-scores (β = 0.413, p = 0.004). WHR (β = 0.256, p = 0.002) was positively associated with BMD, while C-index (β = -0.455, p = 0.001) was negatively correlated with femoral neck T-scores. Lower BMI and WHtR values were found predictive for osteoporosis according to the ROC curve analysis. While BMI was found as the strongest predictor, VAI did not significantly differentiate between groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: For assessment of osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal women; anthropometric indices like CI, WHR, and WHtR may be combined with BMI. In populations with different body compositions, these measures in clinical practice can improve osteoporosis screening and management.

Authors:   Ecosystem Management Specialist, Community Environment and Natural Resources Office, Zone V. Quirino, Blvd., Bantay, Ilocos Sur, Philippines, C. Manuel Jeusom Jerie , N. Divina Francisco ,   Campus Director, Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur, Philippines
Published: September 2024

This study assessed the profile of respondents, the level of implementation of water ecosystem services, and the relationships between these factors within the Bigbiga Protected Landscape (BPL). It also examined land cover changes from 2010 to 2024 and their correlation with water ecosystem services implementation. Additionally, the study aimed to identify problems in implementing water ecosystem services and propose policies to enhance these services. A descriptive correlational research design was employed, utilizing survey questionnaires to gather data on respondents' profiles and perceptions of water ecosystem services implementation. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to explore relationships between profile of respondents and water ecosystem services implementation. Remote sensing and GIS techniques facilitated the analysis of land cover changes, while a t-test evaluated the relationship between these changes and water ecosystem services implementation. The study found that the BPL community's diverse demographic profile reflects a strong connection to the environment. Notably, watershed protection, biodiversity conservation, flood control and disaster risk, community awareness and education, policy development and integrated resource management are strongly implemented. However, perceptions of service implementation varied significantly with age, length of residency, and household size. The land cover analysis revealed a substantial increase in open forest areas between 2010 and 2024, although these changes did not significantly affect the implementation of water ecosystem services. A key issue identified was the inadequacy of water quality and quantity management. To address these challenges, a comprehensive policy is proposed, focusing on improving water management through enhanced monitoring, public participation, enforcement of standards, and adaptive policy mechanisms. The study concludes that implementing customized educational programs, establishing a dedicated task force and local water management committees, and enhancing outreach efforts designed for different demographic groups are essential for the effective management of the BPL’s natural resources. Strengthening enforcement mechanisms, improving water system infrastructure, and promoting community involvement in forest protection and water management are recommended to ensure the sustainable use and conservation of water resources in the BPL.

Authors: KUSHNINA L.V. , FOMENKO E.A.
Published: September 2024

The article discusses current problems of ecotranslation studies. The authors attempt to correlate various research directions from the standpoint of an ecocentric approach to justify the necessity of studying and creating a portrait of the translator as an equal participant in an ecological material and spiritual environment within which they carry out their professional activities. This perspective enables the translator to achieve ecological balance and harmony between the original texts and translations, as well as among the recipients of interacting linguistic and cultural communities. The ecological aspect of translation is related to translational harmony as the axiological dominant of this process, with the translator’s speech personality serving as the leading discursive factor. Creating a portrait of the translator based on eco-translation studies not only reveals new facets of their personality but also unveils new possibilities in understanding the principles of translation.
An Analysis of the Gods and Heroes in Ancient Mesopotamian Art
Authors: Topaloğlu Yasin , Kılıç Murat
Published: September 2024

Mesopotamia, the region between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, was home to many civilizations such as Sumer-Akkadian, Babylonia, and Assyria. Mesopotamian culture is based on a common religious view and consists of theocratic states ruled first by priest-kings. Mesopotamia is one of the crucial geographies where history is illuminated by art. This art reflects the feelings and thoughts of people and provides important clues about their world. The Sumerians' invention of writing was a significant development, but other developments and innovations in Mesopotamia also affected ancient societies such as the Middle East and Anatolia. Art is at the forefront of these developments and innovations. Centers such as Göbeklitepe, Kuruçay, Nevali Çori, Çayönü, Hacılar, and Eriha-Jericho contain early examples of this art. Works of art such as the Vultures Stele, Ur Standard, Uruk Warka Vase, Naram-Sin Victory Stele, and Lion Hunt Stele are essential examples for our subject with their depictions of gods, kings, and heroes. This visual art of Mesopotamia is essential for the history of the Ancient Age as it provides information that thousands of written documents cannot convey.
In Mesopotamian art, where gods and heroes (kings) are seen from the Neolithic Age to the Early Bronze Age, the concepts of gods and kings occupy a central place in art. However, it is also evident that these depictions developed and changed over time. Looking at these depictions, it is understood that while gods represent the spirit world and beliefs, heroes (king or emperor) symbolize earthly power. In these works of art, heroes are usually depicted as hunters, warriors, or kings. This heroism, which extends to the claim of god or godhood, reflects new administrative powers, economic prosperity, and military development.

Authors: Mustafa Nurulhuda Adabiah , Abdullah Nuraisyah Chua
Published: September 2024

The Malaysian National Heritage Act 2005 [Act 645] is a statute which intends to protect, conserve, and preserve not only Intangible Cultural Heritage, but tangible, underwater heritage, and natural sites. However, Act 645 is general in character compared to the Japan 1950 Cultural Property Law (Japan LPCP of 1950). The non-existence of a specific chapter on intangible cultural heritage portrays the incomprehensiveness of the law on intangible cultural heritage in Malaysia.  The Japan LPCP of 1950 has often been signalled as one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive efforts of its kind, where observers have referenced the effort as a persuasive model for a cultural legislation of other countries. This paper adopts the qualitative doctrinal approach where comparative study between the position of the Malaysian Act 645 and of the Japan LPCP of 1950 is made. This paper suggests for the amendments to the Act 645 to better safeguard Malaysian intangible cultural heritage. It also suggests for a specific and comprehensive chapter on intangible cultural heritage in Act 645 that would better uphold the intangible cultural heritage. This paper provides significant findings and contributes to the advancement of literature in the field of intangible cultural heritage law.

Məqalədə Nizami Gəncəvinin yaradıcılığında işlənmiş hərbi sözlərdən danışılır. Bu məqsədlə şairin “Sirlər xəzinəsi” poemasının dili araşdırılır. Poemanın dilində işlənən hərbi leksika nümunələri seçilib təhlil edilir və onların üslub xüsusiyyətləri üzə çıxarılır. Məqalədə bədii əsərlərdə Azərbaycan dilinin hərbi leksikasından daha çox iki məqsədlə istifadə edildiyi göstərilir. Belə ki, hərbi sözlər poeziyada həm həqiqi mənada işlənir, həm də onların məcazi anlamlarından istifadə edilir. Nizami Gəncəvinin “Sirlər xəzinəsi” əsərinin dilindəki hərbi sözlərin, əsasən, bədiilik keyfiyyəti daşıması əsaslandırılır və onların üslubiyyatda əhəmiyyətə mailk olmasını göstərən nümunələrlə bağlı elmi mülahizələr verilir. Məqalədə irəli sürülən elmi-nəzəri fikirlər dil-üslub faktları ilə təsdiq edilir.

Məqalədə “Üslubiyyat və ritorika” fənninin tədrisini şərtləndirən amillər, fənnin tədrisinin məqsəd və vəzifələri, ümumi kompetensiyaların, peşə kompetensiyalarının məzmunu, habelə təhsil proqramının və fənn üzrə təlimin nəticələrindən bəhs olunur. Belə qənaətə gəlinir ki, natiqlik sənətinin bir elm sahəsi kimi təşəkkül tapdığı dövrdən başlayaraq düzgün, aydın, səlis və məntiqi danışanlar cəmiyyət tərəfindən həmişə yüksək qiymətləndirilmişdir. Mədəni nitqə yiyələnmək üçün leksik-qrammatik normaların tələblərinə əməl etməklə bərabər həm də nitq üslubi cəhətdən düzgün qurulmalı, bir sözlə, elə sözlər və ifadələr seçilməlidir ki, fikrin düzgünlüyünə və aydınlığına xələl gəlməsin. İstər şifahi, istərsə də yazılı nitqdə hər bir sözün leksik, qrammatik mənasını, etimologiyasını bilmək tələb olunur. Ünsiyyət zamanı üslubi cəhətdən zəngin nitqə malik olmaq üçün ədəbi dilin normalarını və dil vahidlərinin üslubi keyfiyyətlərini də mükəmməl bilmək lazımdır.

Yusif Vəzir Çəmənzəminlinin öz ideya-bədii dəyərləri ilə irihəcmli əsərlərinə bərabər tutulan “Qız məktəbində”, “Divanə”, “Bir qəpik”, “Cümə axşamı”, “Əziz”, “Borclu”, “Nahaq qan”, “Toy” və s. bu kimi hekayələrində dövrün ictimai bəlaları – gerilik, cahillik problemləri əks olunur. Mövzusu real həyatdan alınmış, böyüklərlə yanaşı uşaq obrazlarının da yer aldığı bu əsərlərdə artıq əsrin əvvəllərində ədəbi meyillər milli dirçəlişə, yeni insan tərbiyəsinə istiqamətlənmişdi. Ədəbi-bədii təcrübələri ilə bu milli ruhu oyadan, onu tərbiyə etməklə gücləndirən Sultanməcid Qənizadə, Abdulla Şaiq, Firidun bəy Köçərli kimi maarifçilərlə yanaşı bu sahədə Yusif Vəzir Çəmənzəminlinin də xidmətləri danılmazdır.

Müasir dövrdə təhsildə inteqrasiya qaçınılmazdır. İnteqrasiya bütün sahələrdə olduğu kimi, təhsil sahəsində də əsas istiqamətlərdən biridir. Təlimdə inteqrasiya biliklərin hərtərəfli, sistemli mənimsənilməsinə şərait yaratmaqla yanaşı, şagirdlərin dünyagörüşünün inkişafında da böyük rola malikdir. “İnteqrasiya” latın sözü olub, “integratio” bərpaolunma, “integrationis” tam, vahid mənalarını ifadə edir. Tədris prosesində inteqrasiyadan istifadə şagird biliklərinin bir-biri ilə əlaqələnməsində, sistemləşməsində böyük rola malik olmaqla yanaşı, onların tədqiqatçı kimi formalaşmasında da xüsusi əhəmiyyətə malikdir. Məqalədə dilçiliyin leksikologiya şöbəsinin qoşmanın tədrisi zamanı inteqrasiyanın qurulmasındakı rolundan, istifadə ediləcək pedaqoji üsul və vasitələrdən söhbət açılır.

Aşıq sənətinin, eləcə də ustadlar ustadı Aşıq Ələsgərin poeziya atlasının müəyyənləşdirdiyi mənzərə unikallıq anlamında, tarix və coğrafi baxımından bir sonsuzluq yaratmışdır. Göyçə bu sonsuzluğun episentri olmaqla, həm də folklor yaddaşının müəyyənləşdirdiyi sənət kriteriyalarına söykənir, Dərbənd, Borçalı, Təbriz, Urmiya, Zəncan, Savə, Kərkük və s. boyu ozanların qopuzunda, aşıqların sazında səslənir. Ozanların qopuzu, aşıqların sazı, Oğuz Kağanın “mən Oğuzun kağanı oldum” təsəvvürü, Xan Qazanın alplarının müəyyənləşdirdiyi həyat prinsipi, Qoç Koroğlunun Çənlibel nizamı, Xıdır Nəbi, Novruzun mərasim səviyyəsində arxaik yaddaş kodu və s. – hamısı bu sırada Göyçə səviyyəsində “Ələsgəri səslədim, hay verdi Göyçə mənə” konsorsiumuna bağlanır. Folklorun, eləcə də aşıq yaradıcılığının stixial panoraması qopuzun və sazın, Aşıq Ələsgər timsalında ustadların müəyyənləşdirdiyi müqəddəs sənət və həyat prinsipinə bağlanır. Bütün bunlar sənət və yaradıcılıq anlamında sistemli yanaşmaları, tarixi-mədəni axarın dinamikasını diqqət önünə gətirir və müxtəlif istiqamətli təhlilləri bir zərurət olaraq qarşıya qoyur.

Xalq ədəbiyyatı şagirdlərə cəsarət, qorxmazlıq, dürüstlük, vətən sevgisi, xalqın mənəvi dəyərlərinə hörmət, təbiəti sevmək və qorumaq kimi nəcib hissləri aşılamaq baxımından müstəsna imkanlara malikdir. Bunun əsas şərtlərindən biri, bəlkə də başlıcası müəllimlərin pedaqoji qabiliyyətidir. Bütün bunlar onu deməyə əsas verir ki, şifahi xalq ədəbiyyatının tədrisi prosesində şagirdlərə əxlaqın bütövlüyünü təmin etməyə imkan verən etnopedaqoji nümunələrdən və düzgün iş metodlarından istifadə etmək lazımdır.
N.Q.Əndəlibin təsiri ilə yaranan dastançılıq: Molla Nəfəsin “Zöhrə və Tahir” dastanının ideya-məzmun xüsusiyyətləri
Authors: Seferli A.
Published: September 2024

Kozmos folklorunun, özellikle gök cisimlerinin yüzündeki sembolizm eserleri Doğu edebiyatında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Geniş bir Türk halk hikâyesi olan bu destan "Zohra ve Tahir", "Tahir Mirza", "Zuhra-Tahir", "Taj-Zohra" ve diğer isimlerle yayınlanmaktadır. Tahir ve Zöhrə teması Molla Nefes'in mirasında özel bir yere sahiptir. Molla Nefes’in ölümünden 70 yıl sonra Hocanefes Çarriyev ruhunu canlı tutmak için bir oyun-piyes yazdı. Yazarın yarattığı destanın özelliklerinden biri, şairin hem anlatıcı, hem de destan kahramanı olmasıdır. Dikkat çekici makamlardan biri de destanın Dede Korkut geleneğini yeniden canlandırmasıdır. Azerbaycan'da destanı Ehliman Ahundov ve Muhammethüseyin Tahmasib, Özbeklerde ise M.İ.Afzalov, H.Rasulov ve Z.Huseynova toplamıştır. Azerbaycan ve Türkmenistan dışındaki tüm destan versiyonlarında şiirler zayıftır. Makalede destanın Azerbaycan ve Türkmen versiyonları karşılaştırılmış, farklı ve benzer özellikler tanımlanmıştır.

Uzun illərdən bəri feili bağlamalardan sonra vergülün işlənməsi qızğın mübahisə predmeti olmuşdur. Bu məqalədə feili bağlamaların qrammatik xüsusiyyətlərinə söykənərək onun əsas feil ilə həmcins ola bilməsi ideyasını mübahisələndirmişik. Dilçilər arasında belə təsəvvür formalaşıb ki, “-ıb”, “-araq”, “-ınca” şəkilçili sözlərin hamısı feili bağlamadır. Biz bu şəkilçilərdən sonra vergülün qoyulmasının mütləq hal deyil, kontekstual olduğunu vurğulamışıq. Kontekst isə məlum şəkilçili sözlərin yeni qrammatik keyfiyyət əldə etməsi ilə bağlıdır. Həmin halları sadalamışıq. Bu, feilin nəqli keçmiş zamanında işlənmiş həmcins feillər; ara birləşmələr və həmin şəkilçilərin xüsusiləşmiş tərkibdə işlənməsi ilə bağlıdır. Bundan ötrü M.Adilovun həmin mövzuya həsr etdiyi məqaləsi təhlil edilmişdir. Müəllifin araşdırmasında müsbət fikirlər və çatışmayan hallar aşkarlanmışdır. Dilçi alimlərimizin feili bağlama barədə təqdim etdikləri dəyərli fikirlər əsasında geniş müqayisə aparılmışdır. Bununla da isbat edilmişdir ki, feili bağlamalardan sonra vergül qoyulması üçün heç bir qrammatik əsas yoxdur.

Nizami Gəncəvinin ideya və ideallarının bəşəriliyi və müasirliyi
Authors: Babayev Y.
Published: September 2024

Məqalədə dahi Azərbaycan şairi Nizami Gəncəvinin ideya və ideallarının bəşəriliyi, müasirliyi araşdırılır. Göstərilir ki, Nizami XII əsrdə yaşayıb yaratsa da, onun ideyalarının, ideallarının əksəriyyəti müasir dövrümüzlə səsləşir. Eyni zamanda bunlar bəşəri mahiyyət kəsb edir. Əlbəttə, Nizaminin ideyalar və ideallar aləmi geniş və çoxşaxəli olduğu üçün bir məqalədə onu tam şəkildə əhatə etmək imkan xaricindədir. Ona görə də müəllif burada deyilən problemlə bağlı bəzi xətlərə toxunmuşdur. Eyni zamanda göstərmişdir ki, ali və orta məktəblərdə şairin həyat və yaradıcılığı tədris olunur. Tələbələrin və şagirdlərin sənətkarın əsərlərinin dəyərini daha yaxşı dərk etməsi üçün onlar bu əsərlərdə irəli sürülən ideyaların müasirliyini, bəşəriliyini anlamalıdırlar. Məqalədə Nizaminin insana münasibəti, humanizmi, kamil şəxsiyyət, ictimai ədalət, hökmdar və xalq, ideal cəmiyyət barədə baxışları, eşq fəlsəfəsi, qadına münasibəti və s. məsələlər yığcam şəkildə şərh edilir.
