Emrî’nin Bir Nazire Mecmuasında Kayıtlı Şiirleri ve Mecmua Derleyicisinin Özeni Üzerine Notlar
Authors: Tanrıbuyurdu Gülçin , Aygün Bahar
Published: December 2024

Osmanlının altı asırlık kadim edebiyat geleneğinin en değerli mahsullerinden biri şiir mecmualarıdır. Kültürü inşa etme çabasındaki insanoğlunun toplama, bir araya getirme ve bu yolla gelecek kuşaklara aktarma çabasını somutlayan mecmualar, bilhassa son dönemde Klasik Türk edebiyatı sahasındaki ilmî çalışmaların odağında yer almaktadır. Aynı ya da farklı asırlardan yüzlerce şairi bazen üslup bazen redif bazen nazım şekli ortaklığında bir araya getiren bu eserler, devrin edebî zevkini ve faaliyetlerini takibe de imkân sunmaktadır. Birbirinden değerli bu seçkiler arasında bilhassa nazire mecmuları ayrı bir öneme sahiptir. Bir zincirin halkalarını takip etmek kabilinden aynı kafiye ve redifi kullanan onlarca şairin art arda dizildiği bu mecmualar, şairlerin divanlarında bulunmayan şiirlerini ve tezkirelerde adı geçmeyen yahut hakkında çok az bir bilgiye sahip olunan şairlerin isimlerini gün yüzüne çıkarmasının yanında söz yarışında bayrağı kimlerin göğüslendiğini göstermesi, aynı estetik kodların ve manzum klişelerin farklı şiirsel tablolarda kullanımlarına tanıklık etmesi bakımından da değerlidir. Bu çalışmada, bir nazire mecmuası tertibindeki Yapı Kredi Sermet Çifter Araştırma Kütüphanesi Nadir ve Yazma Eserler Bölümü 034127 numarasında kayıtlı olan Mecmû‘a-i Eşʿâr adlı şiir seçkisinde Emrî mahlasıyla kayıtlı, şairin neşredilmiş Divanında ve üzerine çalışma yapılmış diğer şiir mecmualarında bulunmayan 12 gazeli ele alınmıştır. Bu gazellerin söz konusu edilme sebebi, derleyicinin her bir gazelde klasik şiirin bahçe estetiğine ilişkin bir unsurun redif olarak kullanılması konusundaki özenine dikkat çekmektir. Çalışmanın başında şiir mecmuaları ve nazire mecmualarından kısaca söz edilmiş, Mecmû‘a-i Eşʿâr tanıtılmış ve söz konusu gazellerin Emrî’ye ait olduğu düşüncesinin temelindeki nedenler açıklanmıştır. Son kısımda ise bahsi geçen şiirlerin çeviri yazılı metni verilmiştir.

O objetivo principal do presente artigo consiste em analisar a possibilidade da fixação de honorários de sucumbência por equidade nas causas de grande valor. Para esse fim, aplica-se o método de revisão bibliográfica de livros e artigos científicos, visando alcançar uma conclusão para essa matéria de grande debate.

Contextualiza-se sobre a remuneração dos advogados e os princípios que norteiam a considerável evolução dos honorários advocatícios de sucumbência no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, visando realizar um comparativa entre as previsões dos Códigos de Processo Civil. 

Apresenta-se, como resultado da presente pesquisa, a possibilidade de fixação e honorários de sucumbência por apreciação equitativa, o que fere, inclusive, diversos princípios constitucionais. Assim, recentemente decidiu o Supremo Tribunal Federal pela proibição da aplicação dos honorários sucumbenciais nas causas de valor expressivo, de modo a afastar qualquer interpretação extensiva que já existiu do §8º do artigo 85 do Código de Processo Civil.

Published: December 2024

The present article analyses the concept of Īśvara in Rāmānuja’s Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta. Īśvara is the supreme reality. According to this philosophy Īśvara is the śarīri (the possessor of bodies) or soul, which possesses cit (consciousness) and acit (matter) as its śarīra-s(bodies). In the view of Rāmānuja the world is created by Īśvara (God) from a sportive motive. Īśvara is characterised by all good qualities and devoid of all evil qualities. Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta Īśvara is one. Although Īśvara is one in Himself, He manifests Himself in the five forms: Parā vibhūti, vyūha, vibhava, antaryāmin, arcāvatāra.The embodied Īśvara is unbound and He is the cause of liberation of individual souls.

Unflinching loyalty or calm before the storm? Some events at the Prague University in the first half of the 19th Century

Unflinching loyalty or calm before the storm? Some events at the Prague University in the first half of the 19th Century

In terms of the position of universities in the Habsburg monarchy, historiography usually views the first half of the 19th century as a period of absolute state control, lack of freedom of scientific investigation, and suppression of any expression of free opinion in teaching. Was this situation in reality uncomfortable for the teachers? Did they want the freedom to act, or did they prefer to obey the dictates of Vienna? In the given period, two faculties were significant among four faculties of the Charles-Ferdinand University: the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Medicine. Can we consider the Faculty of Arts merely a preparatory for studies at the other three faculties? Was its staff just an obedient executor of Vienna’s decisions and its blind advocate after the departure of Bernard Bolzano?”
The Faculty of Medicine is considered as one with relatively free development of scientific research in the first half of the 19th century. In what ways were new ideas and knowledge coming from abroad and other parts of the Monarchy appropriated at the Faculty? What negotiations of the teaching staff took place in this respect? To answer these questions, the paper will focus mainly on the debates of professorial staff of the philosophical and medical faculties regarding the various curricular decrees and regulations coming from Vienna. It will analyze the staff ’s position as well as the opinions of individual professors, and consider their loyalty versus attempts to introduce independent views and modify (where possible) the regulations. The paper will be based on an analysis of procedural protocols of the professorial staffs of the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Medicine of the Prague University in the 1820s and 1830s of the 19th century.
160. výročí Siemensovy dvojité T-kotvy v dynamoelektrických strojích
Authors: Mikeš Jan , Efmertová Marcela
Published: December 2024

160th Anniversary of the Siemens Double-T Anchor in Dynamo-electric Machines

During the 1870s and 1880s electrotechnology grew to be a major component of the industrialization processes in the second stage of the industrial revolution. As an independent scientific discipline it proved to be one of the first branches that established their own industry independent of traditions. The electrotechnological industry began to influence other manufacturing branches and, retroactively, its own research as well. New developments emerged primarily thanks to the simple and reliable electric rotating (dynamo-electric) machines that offered multiple applications and which grew to be competitors to the universal driving steam engines. Initially, the new machines were developed solely as sources of lighting.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Hearing is one of the most important especial sense which is used for communication with the external world. Disability to properly perceive sound leads to anxiety and depression due to poor communication in routine life. There are different causes of hearing loss which may lead to either conductive, sensorineural and mixed hearing loss. Different researchers believe that blood groups have a strong association with hearing loss.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood group and hearing loss.
METHODOLOGY: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of ENT of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad from June 2023 –September 2023.Total 596 participants were selected, 330 were male and 266 were female, who came in the ENT OPD with the complain of hearing impairment. Blood groups of patients were analyzed by blood agglutination method while the hearing threshold was determined by audiometer MAICO MA  39. Only sensorineural loss with auditory threshold more than 25 Decibel were included in the study.
RESULTS: The present study suggests that the persons who have the O blood group have more chances of suffering from hearing loss. The P value was 0.02 in male and 0.04 in females. The Rhesus positive group was 0.7 more involved in hearing loss than Rhesus negative (ODD ratio 0.7, Likehood ratio 0.9).
CONCLUSION:
The current study conclude that blood groups have a direct association with hearing loss and O blood group is more predominant in this context.

Authors: Khan Adnan , Durrani Aisha , Alam Sadaf , Gul Madiha
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Dengue fever, classified by the World Health Organization as a major viral disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, has seen a significant rise in global incidence over recent decades. Currently, nearly half of the world's population is at risk of infection.
Objective: This study aims to determine the frequency of thrombocytopenia among pediatric patients diagnosed with dengue fever.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. The study involved 114 children, selected through non-probability consecutive sampling.
Results: The cohort comprised 52 males (45.61%) and 62 females (54.38%), with a mean age of 9.17 years (SD = 2.86). The average duration of symptoms was 4.25 days (SD = 2.566), and the mean weight was 29.90 kg (SD = 9.327). A family history of thrombocytopenia was noted in 4 patients (3.57%), while thrombocytopenia was detected in 87 patients (76.31%). The analysis revealed no significant association between thrombocytopenia and age, gender, duration of symptoms, weight, or family history.
Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia is highly prevalent among children with dengue fever, irrespective of age, gender, weight, symptom duration, or familial predisposition. Future research should focus on multicenter, randomized controlled trials to explore the influence of these variables on thrombocytopenia in dengue.

Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE:

To ascertain the typical reactions of conversion patients when asked to draw a human figure;
To explore which bodily organs patients with conversion disorder omit from their drawings;
To analyse the similarities and distinctions between patients who have conversion disorder and those who do not.

METHODS: This cross-sectional study used purposive sampling to select 100 participants, with 50 having conversion disorder and 50 without, from various hospitals and universities. Data were analyzed using a standard manual. Descriptive statistics assessed demographics, while the chi-square test evaluated associations between variables. Correlation measures compared conversion disorder patients to non-conversion participants.
RESULTS: Significant changes in emotional markers are seen between the conversion and non-conversion patient groups on the human figure drawing test. Notable indicators among conversion patients include the deletion of the legs and feet (92%), the entire shade of body limbs (100%), and the shading of the face (96%).                   CONCLUSION: By analysing emotional signs, this study makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of conversion disorder. The results demonstrate the potential of Human Figure Drawing as a diagnostic tool, integrate psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques, and are consistent with historical perspectives. Through ongoing advancements and expanded interdisciplinary collaboration, Human Figure Drawing may play a critical part in the diagnostic process in cases of conversion disorder, enabling early detection and intervention.

Authors: Al Shamsi Mohamad Al Dhareef
Published: December 2024

The application of synthetic pesticides in agricultural activities is alarming with various implications to the health of human beings and the environment. Organic botanical pesticides are made from plants, making them the best option as compared to synthetic chemicals since they are environmentally friendly and have negligible toxic content. The purpose of this research is to assess the efficacy of organic botanical pesticides in the management of pests, especially on the nematodes and the mealybugs affecting the fig and mango trees using Abba organic pesticides oily extract of Cymbopogon schoenanthus (L.). It has also been observed that there has been a great success in the reduction of pest incidence as well as enhanced plant health from using organic pesticides hence underpinning its usefulness in an organic agriculture production system. However, some adoption barriers that the authors noted included higher costs, slower results, and poor awareness among farmers. The paper recommends changes in the policies, providing financial motivation, and increasing training concerning the application of organic botanical pesticides.

Published: December 2024

Background: Favipiravir is an antiviral medication for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). There were a limited number of studies investigating the hepatotoxic adverse effects of favipiravir. Aim of the Study: The study aimed to assess the potential toxic impact of loading and maintenance doses of favipiravir on liver function through liver function evaluation. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional retrospective observational study, 476 adult COVID-19 patients hospitalized at King Faisal Medical Complex (KFMC) in Taif City, Saudi Arabia, used favipiravir. Liver functions (aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and Free bilirubin) were taken from randomly selected subjects. Pre- and post-treatment liver function results were randomly assigned. Results: The age of the patients varied between 18 and 65 years. All participants enrolled in this trial were diagnosed with COVID-19 and received treatment with favipiravir. The majority of patients, treated with favipiravir, exhibited normal liver function test results, with 78.2% showing normal levels of AST and 45% showing normal levels of ALT. A smaller percentage of patients, 20.2% and 48.7% respectively, experienced a modest increase in these enzyme levels. After undergoing favipiravir therapy, the majority of patients (95.59%) showed normal bilirubin levels. A notable disparity was observed in the levels of AST, ALT, and bilirubin before and after favipiravir treatment, with a p-value < 0.001 for all patients included in the study. Conclusion: According to the study, antiviral favipiravir had no major liver side effects; it caused hepatic function elevations but not serious and is reversible after discontinuation.
Determinant of Pastoralist Participation in Dry Fish Agribusiness Value Chain Activities: An Implication for Employment Opportunities
Authors: Bor Chuol
Published: December 2024

Dry fish agribusiness has proven to be a lucrative venture for pastoralist communities, allowing them to generate additional income during the dry season, when livestock productivity is low. This study aims to determine pastoralist participation in dry fish agribusiness value chain activities in the Akobo district. Akobo district, kebelles, and respondents were selected using purposive, random, and systematic sampling techniques, respectively. The data were collected through structured interviews and questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A binary logistic model was used in this study. Qualitative data were analyzed using a five-point Likert scale. This study found that pastoralists actively participate in production, transportation, processing, and marketing activities. The major constraints that limit their participation in dry fish agribusiness were a low level of education, lack of modern storage facilities, poor rural infrastructure, and lack of external training, poor rural market, and high transportation costs. The results of the binary logit model showed that educational level, market access, and household size were significant and positive, whereas technology access was significant and negatively influenced pastoralist participation in dry fish agribusiness value chain activities. Dry fish agribusiness value chain activity is vital for improving the livelihood of pastoralist inhabitants in Akobo district. Therefore, pastoralists in this district should be better equipped to actively participate in dry fish agribusiness value chain activities.

Published: December 2024

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a critical concern, causing significant morbidity and mortality, especially in preterm and low-birth-weight infants. Traditional treatments, including antibiotics and supportive care, often fall short in reducing high mortality rates, emphasizing the need for effective adjunct therapies. Melatonin, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, may offer therapeutic benefits by modulating immune responses and mitigating oxidative stress in neonatal conditions.
Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of melatonin as an adjunct therapy in neonatal sepsis, focusing on improvements in clinical and laboratory outcomes.
Methods: In this randomized controlled trial conducted at the Department of Neonatology at Children Hospital, PIMS, Islamabad from September 1, 2023, to February 28, 2024, 60 neonates diagnosed with sepsis were divided into two groups. The experimental group (Group A) received 20 mg of enteral melatonin in addition to standard care, while the control group (Group B) received standard care alone. Key metrics such as sepsis scores, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and complete blood counts were assessed at baseline and 48 hours post-treatment.
Results: Significant improvements were observed in the melatonin group, with sepsis scores decreasing from an average of 12.2 ± 3.1 to 6.1 ± 1.8, CRP levels reducing from 12.5 mg/ml to 6.5 mg/ml, and total leukocyte counts dropping from 12,500 cells/µL to 9,800 cells/µL. The control group showed lesser improvements across these parameters.
Conclusion: Melatonin shows potential as an adjunct treatment in neonatal sepsis, effectively reducing inflammation and enhancing clinical outcomes. Further research is needed to substantiate these findings and integrate melatonin into broader clinical practices.
