Inherited morphobathymetric controls over contourite drift deposition: A case study from the late Cenozoic Mentelle Basin, Australia
Authors: Tagliaro G. , Wainman C. C. , Fulthorpe C. S.
Published: April 2021

Deep-sea sedimentary deposits are important archives of the geologic past that preserve the records of past environmental changes in earth’s ocean. The detailed analysis of deep-sea sedimentary archives, in particular of contourite drifts, can help elucidate past changes in ocean circulation and the stratigraphic evolution of continental margins. However, the bathymetric profile of an oceanic basin can shape and modify the architecture of contourite drifts via the interaction between down-slope and along-slope processes. The identification of local bathymetric influence on depositional architectures is therefore important to help decipher local versus regional influences on deep-sea sedimentary signatures. Seismic data from Mentelle Basin in the southeast Indian Ocean integrated with deep-sea core data reveal a calcareous-siliciclastic mixed contourite-turbidite system developed during the late Cenozoic, starting in the middle Miocene. Current winnowing led to the formation of regional hiatuses, ferromanganese crusts, and siliciclastic lag deposits. The main locus of sediment deposition occurred on the shallower parts of the basin, whereas sediment preservation remained low in the deeper areas. Seismic analysis shows that inherited topography influenced the architecture of contourite deposits within the basin, with elongate-mounded and sheeted drifts forming preferentially at shallower depths on the continental slope and the Naturaliste Plateau, while channel incision occurred in the deepest parts of the basin. These results suggest that the intensification of current transport occurred preferentially within the deeper and spatially constrained parts of the basin, whereas current deflection around the slope and plateau enhanced drift deposition and preservation at shallower depths. Therefore, the basin topography at the time of deposition controlled the distribution of deep-sea deposits and drift morphologies within the mixed contourite-turbidite system in the Mentelle Basin.
Identification of thermally mature total organic carbon-rich layers in shale formations using an effective machine-learning approach
Authors: Amosu Adewale , Sun Yuefeng
Published: April 2021

We have developed a support vector machine (SVM) method that relies on core-measured data as well as gamma-ray, deep resistivity, sonic, and density wireline well-log data in identifying thermally mature total organic carbon (TOC)-rich layers at depth intervals with missing geochemical data in unconventional resource plays. We first test the SVM method using the Duvernay Shale Formation data. The SVM method successfully classifies the TOC data set into TOC-rich and TOC-poor classes and the [Formula: see text] data set into thermally mature and thermally immature classes when the optimal features are selected. To further test the SVM approach, we generate depth-separated training and test data sets from a well in the Duvernay Shale Formation and successfully use the approach to identify thermally mature TOC-rich intervals. We also examine the successful cross basin application of the SVM approach in predicting TOC using data from the Barnett and Duvernay Shale Formations as the training and test data sets, respectively.

Epistemological deliberation: the challenges of producing evidence-based guidelines on lifestyle habits
Authors: Lagerlöf Helena , Zuiderent-Jerak Teun , Sager Morten
Published: April 2021

Background:

Promotion of healthy behaviour is increasingly highlighted worldwide as a way to improve public health, prevent disease incidence, and decrease long-term costs for healthcare. In Sweden the National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW) used the well-established format of national guidelines to facilitate a more widespread use of approaches for promotion of healthy lifestyle habits in healthcare.

Aims and objectives:

The aim of this case study was to explore the tensions between public health knowledge and the tenets of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in the creation of national guidelines on lifestyle habits.

Methods:

Based on data from interviews with guideline professionals and the collected documents of the national guidelines, we examine how NBHW negotiated the conflicts between public health knowledge and the format of national guidelines. An analytical model based on approaches from the sociology of standardisation is used to explore the ramifications of these negotiations.

Findings:

In line with findings in the sociology of standardisation, we show how conflicts between public health knowledge and the format of national guidelines result in both having to yield on certain points. This, we claim, results in compromise, but perhaps also compromised notions of validity and causality.

Discussion and conclusion:

This case offers important learning about the general compatibility of public health and currently dominant methods of EBM. Important crossroads are outlined, concerning how validity and causality are configured in public health guidelines and how these require extensive epistemological deliberation.
Stability and mobility in occupational career patterns over 36 years in Swiss women and men
Authors: Häfeli Kurt , Hättich Achim , Schellenberg Claudia , Krauss Annette , Ritschard Gilbert
Published: April 2021

It is an open empirical question whether occupational trajectories are better described as linear or non-linear. We analysed occupational career patterns (OCPs) over a period of 36 years using longitudinal data from a representative sample of men and women of the German-speaking part of Switzerland. The participants were mostly born in 1963; the data collection spans from 1978 until 2015. For 584 persons, information about the occupational development from age 16 to 52 years was available. Each year’s activity was categorised using the International Standard Classification of Occupations. We conducted sequence analysis (optimal matching analysis) to find clusters and ANOVAs to compare group differences. The results showed six plausible and differentiated OCPs for both genders which support linear career models. For women, OCPs were generally stable. In contrast, men showed more change and upward mobility in OCPs. These patterns were influenced by indicators collected from participants when they were age 15, such as the family’s socio-economic status, the individual’s performance on intelligence measures and attitudes toward gender equality. Furthermore, we found several consequences of OCPs at age 52 on objective indicators of career success (status, income) and subjective indicators (work perception, life satisfaction and health status).
Disrespect or dignity? Experiences of mandatory work participants in the Netherlands from the perspective of the right to work
Authors: Eleveld Anja
Published: April 2021

This article explores the extent to which mandatory work programmes (MWPs) which oblige social assistance recipients to perform work activities in order to improve or develop basic work skills, can be considered in conformity with the human right to work. Drawing on qualitative research in three municipalities in the Netherlands, the findings indicate that overall, the work in the MWPs infringed the right to work. However, part of the MWP participants were able to realise the right to work to the extent that participation in an MWP enhanced their dignity, self-respect and their opportunities for self-development.
Intertemporal substitution in labour supply and tax revenue use
Authors: Soldatos Gerasimos T.
Published: April 2021

This article examines the response of work effort to changes in wage and/or tax rates when (1) no part of the taxes returns back to taxpaying workers, but when a part goes back (2) through the provision of a pure public good or (3) through transfer payments. The work-effort ratio is found to be higher in a Leviathan state, but the comparison between the two other tax-use regimes is uncertain. The response of the effort ratio to a change in the wage ratio follows the same pattern, while this response is weakened by a change in the current tax rate and strengthened by a change in the future tax rate, regardless not only of the use of tax revenue, but also of its change over time. In the case of change, the comparison of effort ratios is clear only when the change prompts them to move in the same direction. Corollaries related to tax evasion point to the irrelevance of tax benefits for labour supply decisions.

Agtechs and the Innovation Ecosystem of the Espírito Santo
Authors: Castro Christiane Barbosa e , Ramos Paulo Henrique Bertucci
Published: April 2021

Objective: to identify the most relevant incentives available to agtechs - also known as agritechs or agrotechs; the challenges they face to reach the scalability phase; and the relationship of these challenges with possible limitations of the local innovation ecosystem. Methodology/approach: the data were collected through qualitative research and examined using the content analysis technique. Main results: (1) the entrepreneurs of the interviewed Agtechs identified different market demands and opportunities; (2) the agtechs relied mainly on support, through incubation and mentoring; (3) these nascent companies had greater difficulty in the prototyping stage, in the identification of resource sources, and the formation of a team, which indicates the need to expand support and offer ecosystem solutions in this direction, as well as to facilitate the access to investors; and (4) the Espírito Santo’s innovation ecosystem still presents a series of challenges so that it can fully fulfill the role of encouraging, in a structured way, startups called agtechs. Theoretical/methodological contributions: the results obtained demonstrate the need for an entrepreneurial ecosystem to foster the development of agtechs and reflect the main difficulties faced by entrepreneurs of these nascent companies in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Relevance/originality: the issues involved in the study comprise themes of central interest for a deeper understanding of the applied dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems and Agtechs in the context of the Espírito Santo.

Community empowerment carried out in Waifoi village in the process has dynamics that can be understood as material for developing community empowerment processes and formulating empowerment activities appropriate to the local community's context. The purpose of this study is to uncover the dynamics of community empowerment in Waifoi village and describe the innovative formulation of empowerment activities in accordance with the context of community needs in Waifoi village in a participatory manner. The research method used was a case study and participatory rural appraisal through observation, incidental interviews, focus group discussions and document studies which were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the Waifoi Village community was a type of community that was open to developing innovation but had a socio-cultural context of hunting and gathering types. There is a differentiation of perception in the community structure of Waifoi village regarding interest in the object to be developed in the village. Empowerment through the formulation of integrated village-based ecotourism development can be an alternative that can be drawn from the results of a participatory community needs tracking done.
Medical and dental hidden treasures and secrets of 2700-year-old Egyptian mummy: Osirmose - the doorkeeper of the Temple of Re.
Authors: Olszewski Raphael , Hastir Jean-Philippe , Tilleux Caroline , Delvaux Luc , Danse Etienne
Published: April 2021

Objective: To perform a ‘virtual autopsy’ on the Egyptian mummy and to study, understand, and interpret three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scan images of Osirmose’s mummy with a multidisciplinary team composed of radiologists, archaeologists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Material and methods: We studied the Osirmose’s mummy, the doorkeeper of the Temple of Re, who lived during the XXVth dynasty. His mummy belongs to the Royal Museum of Art and History (Inv. E.5889). We performed a high resolution CT scanning of Osirmose’s mummy. We also 3D printed the upper maxilla of the mummy and a tooth found in the oesophagus with a clinically validated low-cost 3D printer.

Results: We confirmed the male sex of the mummy. We found the heart, aorta, and  kidneys inside the mummy’s body. Brain excerebration was performed through the right ethmoid bone pathway. A wood stick embedded in the dura mater tissue was found inside the skull. The orbicularis oculi muscle, internal canthus, optical nerves, and calcified eye were still present. Artificial eyes were added above the stuffing of eye globes. The skull and face were embalmed with multiple layers of inner bandages in a sophisticated manner. The wear of maxillary teeth was asymmetrical and more pronounced on the maxilla. We discovered three anomalies of the upper maxilla: 1) a rectangular hole on the palatine side of tooth n°26 (the palatine root of tooth n°26 was missing), 2) an indentation at a right angle palatine to tooth n°27, and 3) a semilunar shape of edges around the osteolytic lesion distal and palatine to tooth n°28.

Conclusions: The present study provides the first evidence of a tooth removal site, and of oral surgery procedures previously conducted in a 2700-year-old Egyptian embalmed mummy. We found traces of dental root removal, and the opening of a tooth-related osteolytic lesion before the person’s death. The multidisciplinary team, the use of a high resolution 3D CT scan and a 3D-printed model of the upper maxilla helped in this discovery.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly transmittable pathogenic viral infection that causes a disease known as COVID-19. It is a pandemic and public health challenge ravaging the world today. Unfortunately, with the daily increase of infected individuals, there is no known drug approved for the treatment of COVID-19. However, there are therapeutic drugs with the potentials to inhibit endocytic pathways, suppress ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase activities, and reduce the replication of SARS-CoV-2. These drugs modifications are aimed at reducing inflammation, time of recovery, and number of deaths. This review is aimed at providing updated information on the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, preventive measures and therapeutic drugs used against SARS-CoV-2. The finding of this review revealed that some of these drugs are transmembrane protease, serine 2, and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 inhibitors with the capacity to block the entrance/replication of SARS-CoV-2 in a host cell and therefore, may be promising in preventing the spread and mortality of SARS-CoV-2. However, these drugs may cause detrimental health effects such as toxic and non-efficacy issues. Therefore great caution should be employed by health professionals when prescribing these drugs to COVID-19 patients.
Analysis of Progressive Failure between Soil and Structure Interface in the Direct Shear Test Using a New Method
Authors: Gan Fei , Bi Jing , Cao Teng , Liu Pengfei , Wang Chaolin
Published: April 2021

In recent years, the trend of landslide disasters increases year by year with the rapid development of economic construction. The landslide caused massive casualties and economic losses. In this paper, a new kind of stress-displacement sensor, which can monitor the stress and displacement of local points on the contact surface, is developed. A large indoor direct shear test of the contact surface between red clay in Chongqing and structure is carried out by using this sensor. Furthermore, stress and deformation response evolution characteristics of the contact surface under shear loads and different soil compactness and normal stress are discussed. The shear failure of the contact surface between soil and structure is characterized by progressive failure; the normal stress of the contact surface and the compaction degree of the soil has a significant influence on the progressive failure. The test results indicate that the peak stress along the shear direction of the contact surfaces shows obvious inhomogeneity features. Considering the progressive failure characteristics of soil, the shear strength parameters obtained by the traditional large direct shear test underestimated the soil shear strength before the peak shear stress of shear curves. Then, in the post-peak shear stress stage (post-failure zone), the residual strength obtained by large direct shear tests represents the real residual strength of the soil.
New Prediction Model of Tempered Martensite Hardnesses for Quenched and Tempered Low-Alloy Steel
Authors: Hassan Azzam D. , Jabbar Murtadha Abbas
Published: April 2021

Several experimental formulas have been proposed by many researchers to estimate the tempered martensite hardness of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel under different tempering conditions. The objective of the present study was to develop a new mathematical model to estimate the tempered martensite hardness and the tensile strength for low-alloy steels under different tempering conditions with enhanced accuracy. The experimental results of previous research were relied on to develop the new mathematical models. A best fit for the tempered martensite hardness model has been developed by adding a factor of correlation obtained from the difference (error) between the hardness values measured by literature and the calculated hardness values from the tempered martensite hardness model. Moreover, the best equation that feature the value of this difference was presented as a function of the tempering temperature. The new model considered the combined parameters, which are tempering conditions (temperature and time) and the parameters of alloy elements. The proposed model has been examined and compared with the experimental results of a previous research and was shown to provide a good reasonable approximation with mean percentage error between the measured and calculated of hardness values was 0.89% and 0.79% for holding time of 2 and 48 h, respectively. Furthermore, it was concluded that the hardness feature is affected significantly by tempering parameters and the parameters of alloy elements. The hardness showed also decreasing in values with increasing the tempering temperature and holding. Also, the proposed equation for the tensile strength and area reduction have been written as a function of the tempering temperature.
Processing of ZrB2- and HfB2-Based Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic Materials: A Review
Authors: Sonber J. K. , Murthy T. S. R. Ch. , Majumdar Sanjib , Kain Vivekanand
Published: April 2021

ZrB2 and HfB2 are leading materials in the category of ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs). UHTCs are a group of ceramic materials that can withstand ultra-high temperature (>2,000°C) in oxidizing conditions. Such a high temperature will be encountered by future hypersonic reentry vehicles. Future reentry vehicles will have sharp edges to improve aerodynamic performance. The sharp leading edges will cause higher surface temperature than that of the actual blunt-edged vehicles. The sharp edges have less surface area to dissipate heat and thus the temperature gets increased. To withstand the intense heat generated when these vehicles reenter the earth’s upper atmosphere, UHTC materials are needed. UHTC materials are composed of borides of early transition metals. From the larger list of borides, ZrB2 and HfB2 have received the most attention as potential candidates for leading edge materials because their oxidation resistance is superior to that of other borides because of the stability of the ZrO2 and HfO2 scales that form on these materials at elevated temperatures in oxidizing environments. Processing of these materials is very difficult because these materials are very refractory in nature. Powder synthesis usually involves high-temperature solid state reactions. Dense bodies are generally produced by hot pressing and spark plasma sintering. For coating preparation, plasma spray, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition is used. All these processing methods for ZrB2 and HfB2 are difficult because of the involvement of very high temperatures. In this review, the present state of the knowledge on processes employed for powder synthesis, fabrication of dense bodies, and coating processes is discussed. The advantages, limitations, and challenges in the different processing methods are addressed.
Duplex Treatments of Chromizing and Nitriding: Influence of the Steel Composition and Treatment Sequence on the Surface Properties/Performance
Authors: Tassi Fernanda , Cardoso Rodrigo Perito , d’Oliveira Ana Sofia C. M.
Published: April 2021

Surface engineering is unavoidable for most high-performance components manufacturing. Frequently when very specific properties are required duplex treatments are necessary. In the case of diffusion-based treatments, like nitriding and chromizing, the substrate composition plays an important role in the obtained results. Consequently, for duplex treatments, the second treatment will be influenced by the first one. Putting these aspects in evidence, Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) CK15, DIN C45Pb, and DIN X40CrMoV5-1 steels were exposed to pack chromizing followed by plasma nitriding and plasma nitriding followed by pack chromizing. Results showed that the treated surface features are very sensitive to the steel composition and treatment sequence. In nitrided and chromized surfaces, the iron nitrides formed during the first treatment are dissolved and replaced by chromium nitrides (CrxNy) during chromizing. The inverse sequence resulted in surfaces containing chromium carbide (Cr7C3) formed during chromizing with CrxNy and iron nitrides formed during nitriding. The higher measured hardness (1,499 Vickers hardness [HV]) was obtained for the chromized and nitride DIN X40CrMoV5-1 steel. Salt spray tests showed that treatments ending by chromizing are the most promising for enhancing the surface corrosion resistance, except for the low carbon steel.
BEHAVIOUR AND THE PERCEPTION OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING THE PERIOD OF MOVEMENT CONTROL ORDER (MCO) IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Syed Shiekh Syarifah Fathynah , Marathamuthu Suresh
Published: April 2021

To curb the spread of Covid-19, governments have introduced social distancing measures with varying degrees of enforcement, ranging from unenforced recommendations to quarantine. Physical activity is an important determinant of health, and it is likely affected by social distancing measures introduced to combat the pandemic. This study presents findings from an online survey examining behaviour and the perception of physical activity and exercise during the period of the movement control order (MCO) in Malaysia. A total of 307 respondents (male = 134, female = 173) participated in the survey, which comprised three sections with a total of 33 items. Results indicate that about 80% of the respondents engaged in physical activity and exercise during the MCO period, but male respondents reported a greater impact on their actual physical activity and exercise as compared to female respondents. This study reveals no significant correlation between gender and perception, but it does show a significant correlation between gender and behaviour (p < 0.05) in terms of physical activity and exercise during the MCO period. This study found that both genders have a positive understanding and awareness of the benefits of physical activity and exercise, which are crucial for physical and mental health during the pandemic.

Published: April 2021

Background: Aortic aneurysm (AA) is an aortic disorder prone to sudden, life-threatening aortic dissection or rupture, with poor clinical outcomes. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of AA in MIMIC-III to explore implications for management.
Methods: All patients with AA, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), in the MIMIC-III database were included. Clinical and laboratory variables were analyzed and compared in AAA and TAA.
Results: A total of 345 patients, including 183 patients with AAA and 162 patients with TAA, were enrolled in this study. The in-hospital mortality in AAA and TAA groups was 6.01% and 3.7%, respectively. In the nonsurvivor groups in both AAA and TAA, patients were older, and the incidence of surgery was lower. In the nonsurvivor group of AAA, the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea nitrogen, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase, anion gap, and lactate were significantly higher in the nonsurvivor group, whereas the level of albumin was lower. In the nonsurvivor group of TAA, the level of LDH significantly increased and the level of albumin decreased. In the nonsurgery group, in-hospital mortality was higher, and patients were older, with higher levels of glucose, total bilirubin, urea nitrogen, and creatinine and longer length of stay in ICU and hospital.
Conclusion: Age, surgery, albumin, and LDH showed significant differences between survivor and nonsurvivor groups in both AAA and TAA. In the nonsurgery group, the mean age was older and disease severity was worse, with poorer clinical outcomes. Older AA patients without surgery and with lower levels of albumin and higher levels of LDH had higher risk of in-hospital mortality.
O método Montessori na formação do currículo para o Ensino de Ciências na Educação Infantil
Authors: Dummer Laura , Camozzato Viviane Castro
Published: April 2021

elaboração do currículo para Educação Infantil é considerada como um processo complexo que abrange diversos aspectos que vem desde o sistema social até o aluno. Sobretudo após a homologação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), que busca atender às demandas dos estudantes do século XXI e que tem, ainda, como central a noção de que eles devem ser os protagonistas da educação e da sociedade em que vivem. A importância do Ensino de Ciências na Educação Infantil tem sido muito discutida por pesquisadores da área em todo mundo. As pesquisas demonstram que o ensino de Ciências deve proporcionar a todos os cidadãos os conhecimentos e oportunidades de desenvolvimento de capacidades necessárias para se orientarem em uma sociedade complexa, compreendendo o que se passa à sua volta, tomando posição e intervindo em sua realidade. Nesse sentido, este artigo utiliza a pesquisa bibliográfica para analisar a metodologia Montessori como alternativa para elaboração de um currículo para Educação Infantil que aborde o ensino de ciências nessa etapa da educação básica. Ademais, é destacado que o pilar “Educação Cósmica” de Montessori vem de encontro ao campo de aprendizagem “Espaços, tempos, quantidades, relações e transformações” da BNCC, permitindo trabalhar o tema nessa etapa da educação básica.

Background and Aims

Few studies have been conducted on the long-term evolution of gambling disorder (GD). The aim of this study was to identify factors that could predict GD relapse.

Methods

Data were part of a dataset from a large 5-year cohort of gamblers who were assessed at inclusion and each year thereafter. Participants were recruited from an outpatient addiction treatment center, from various gambling places and through the press. For this specific study, inclusion criteria included (i) transitioning from GD to recovery at a follow-up time and (ii) undergoing at least one follow-up visit afterwards. Participants were evaluated using a structured clinical interview and self-report questionnaires assessing sociodemographic, gambling and clinical characteristics. “Relapse” was defined as the presence of GD (according to the DSM-5) at the N+1th visit following the absence of GD at the Nth visit. A Markov model-based approach was employed to examine predictive factors associated with relapse at a subsequent follow-up visit.

Results

The sample consisted of 87 participants, aged 47.6 years (sd = 12.6), who were predominantly male (65%). Among the participants, 49 remained in recovery, whereas 38 relapsed. Participants who reported not having experienced at least one month of abstinence and those with a low level of self-directedness at the previous follow-up visit were more likely to relapse.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest the existence of factors that are predictive of relapse in individuals with GD who had previously achieved recovery. These results can inspire the development of measures to promote long-term recovery.
The identification of Australian low-risk gambling limits: A comparison of gambling-related harm measures
Authors: Dowling Nicki A. , Greenwood Christopher J. , Merkouris Stephanie S. , Youssef George J. , Browne Matthew , Rockloff Matthew , Myers Paul
Published: April 2021

Background and aims

Problem gambling severity and gambling-related harm are closely coupled, but conceptually distinct, constructs. The primary aim was to compare low-risk gambling limits when gambling-related harm was defined using the negative consequence items of the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI-Harm) and the Short Gambling Harms Scale items (SGHS-Harm). A secondary aim was compare low-risk limits derived using a definition of harm in which at least two harms across different domains (e.g. financial and relationship) were endorsed with a definition of harm in which at least two harms from any domain were endorsed.

Methods

Data were collected from dual-frame computer-assisted telephone interviews of 5,000 respondents in the fourth Social and Economic Impact Study (SEIS) of Gambling in Tasmania. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyse were conducted to identify low-risk gambling limits.

Results

PGSI-Harm and SGHS-Harm definitions produced similar overall limits: 30–37 times per year; AUD$510–$544 per year; expenditure comprising no more than 10.2–10.3% of gross personal income; 400–454 minutes per year; and 2 types of gambling activities per year. Acceptable limits (AUC ≥0.70) were identified for horse/dog racing, keno, and sports/other betting using the PGSI definition; and electronic gaming machines, keno, and bingo using the SGHS definition. The requirement that gamblers endorse two or more harms across different domains had a relatively negligible effect.

Discussion and conclusions

Although replications using alternative measures of harm are required, previous PGSI-based limits appear to be robust thresholds that have considerable potential utility in the prevention of gambling-related harm.
Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk Alternative Development of Sustainable Islamic Economic Development Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's)
Authors: Paul Wina , Faudji Rachmad , Bisri Hasan
Published: April 2021

Economic development itself is defined as a continuous process that has the aim of increasing a country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and per capita income of a country's population in the long term which has an impact on various aspects, both economic, social, and science and technology. The purpose of economic development in Indonesia is not only to increase per capita income but also to accelerate economic growth. Technological advances as a result of this development will also improve the quality of human resources, improve community welfare, reduce inequality, and reduce unemployment. The government continues to face various forms of economic development problems in Indonesia, including high unemployment, rampant poverty, high population, inflation resulting in low purchasing power, low productivity resulting in low per capita income, and export commodities dominated by the primary sector. Today, the development of Islamic economics, both in academia and practice, is very important to pay attention to. This is also related to how to develop thoughts and applications of the Islamic economic system in Indonesia. Various perspectives in the field of Islamic economics associated with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) themselves were created to answer the demands of world leadership in overcoming poverty, inequality and climate change in the form of real action. Establish a set of targets that can be applied universally and can be measured in balancing the three dimensions of sustainable development such as environmental, social and economic. Islamic economic objectives in several points of view are philosophical goals consisting of Al-Falah (holistic prosperity) and Maqasid al-Shariah and operational objectives consisting of increasing faith, creating maslahah, preventing concentration of wealth, and avoiding dangerous activities and even distribution. On the basis of this Islamic economic objective, the response was the issuance of a Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk as a product of the government through the Ministry of Finance to serve as an alternative to increasing Islamic-based economic development. The method used in this article is descriptive qualitative method with literature review. Through this article, we will try to discuss how this cash waqf linked sukuk can be used as an alternative for sustainable Islamic economic development. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's).
CHP’DE AKAMETE UĞRAMIŞ BİR REFORM TEŞEBBÜSÜ: 1954 ISLAHAT KOMİSYONU
Authors: KILIÇ Murat
Published: April 2021

CHP, yaklaşık çeyrek asırdır sahip olduğu iktidarı, 1950 seçimlerinde DP’ye devretmek zorunda kalmıştır. Muhalefette geçirdiği dört yılın ardından iktidarı geri almak için büyük umutla girdiği 1954 seçimlerinde büyük bir yenilgi ve hayal kırıklığı yaşamıştır. Seçim yenilgisinin ardından yenilginin sebebini partide hakim olan statükocu yapı olarak gören bir grup, reform talebiyle ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu talebin neticesinde özellikle Faik Ahmet Barutçu, Cemil Sait Barlas gibi isimlerin etrafında toplanan yenilikçi kanat ile Kasım Gülek ve Nihat Erim gibi isimlerin başını çektiği statükocu geleneksel yapı arasında bir mücadele yaşanmıştır. Yenilikçi kanadın talepleri, önce partinin ilgili organlarında görüşülmüştür. Bu görüşmeler neticesinde yapılması istenen yeniliklerin tartışılması ve belirlenmesi için bir “Islahat Komisyonu”nun kurulmasına karar verilmiştir. Komisyon laiklik, devletçilik, halkçılık gibi temel ilkelerin yeniden yorumlanması; hatta CHP’ye yeni bir hüviyet kazandırılması gibi pek çok konuda radikal öneriler getirmiştir. Islahat Komisyonunun önerileri, partinin resmi organlarını ve statükocu yapıyı aşamamış ve sadece cüzi bir kısmı hayata geçmiştir. Buna karşın Islahat Komisyonu, CHP tarihinde, çok partili hayata geçişten, ortanın solu söylemine kadar geçen süreçte önemli bir durak ve süreç olarak yerini almıştır. Söz konusu bu süreç ele alınırken, kaynak olarak, dönemin basını, sürecin içinde bulunan isimlerin anıları ve CHP üzerine kaleme alınmış monografik çalışmalar kullanılmıştır.
FAİZ ORANI PARİTESİ GEÇERLİLİĞİNİN TEST EDİLMESİ: KIRILGAN BEŞLİ ÜLKELER ÜZERİNE AMPİRİK BİR UYGULAMA

Published: April 2021

Bu çalışmada, “Kırılgan Beşli” olarak adlandırılan ülkelerde (Brezilya, Endonezya, Güney Afrika, Hindistan, Türkiye), 2009-2019 arası veriler aylık bazda kullanılarak korunmasız faiz oranı paritesinin geçerliliğinin, zaman serileri yöntemiyle eşbütünleşme ve asimetrik nedensellik modelleri oluşturularak test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, Kırılgan Beşli ülkelerde faiz oranı paritesinin geçerliliği hem yapısal kırılmalı eşbütünleşme testleri ile hem de kırılmasız eşbütünleşme testleri ile sınanmış ve elde edilen bulgulara göre, yapısal kırılmayı dikkate almayan (ADF, PP, KPSS) birim kök testleri ve Engle & Granger (EG) (1987) eşbütünleşme testi sonuçları, analize tabi tutulan tüm ülkelerde faiz oranı paritesinin geçerli olmadığını göstermiştir. Aynı testler yapısal kırılmayı dikkate alan Zivot & Andrews (ZA) (1992) yapısal kırılmalı birim kök ve Gregory & Hansen (GH) (1996) yapısal kırılmalı eşbütünleşme modelleri yardımıyla tekrarlandığında ise, analiz sonuçlarının farklılaşabileceği görülmüştür. Yapısal kırılmayı dikkate almayan modellere göre hiçbir ülkede eşbütünleşme tespit edilememişken, yapısal kırılmalı model sonuçlarına göre Brezilya’da eşbütünleşme tespit edilmiş ve faiz oranı paritesinin geçerli olduğu görülmüştür. Dolayısıyla, elde edilen bu sonuç, yapılan çalışmalarda, yapısal kırılmalı modellerin dikkate alınmasının gerekliliğini göstermiştir. Hatemi-J (2012) asimetrik nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre, Brezilya, Endonezya, Güney Afrika ve Hindistan ülkelerinde nedensellik bulgularına ulaşılmıştır.

1588 yılında haftalarca süren şiddetli rüzgârlar, tarihin hiçbir döneminde ve yerinde olmadığı kadar bir ülkenin (İngiltere) kaderinde yön tayin edici olmuştur. İspanya Kralı II. Felipe’nin, İngiltere’yi işgal için Armada’yı gönderdiği sırada başlayan şiddetli rüzgârlar, bu iki ülke insanının zihnini haftalarca meşgul etmiştir. Bu durumun nedeni ise rüzgârların meydana getirdiği büyük tarihsel olaydır. Herhangi bir noktasının denize uzaklığı en fazla 120 km olan İngiltere, Avrupa’nın en büyük deniz gücü olarak bilinen İspanyol donanması Armada’ya karşı 1588 yılında çok az bir şansa sahip iken” güçlü bir müttefik” gibi ufakta beliren şiddetli rüzgârlar sayesinde “mucizevi bir zafer kazanmıştır.” 1588 yılının şiddetli rüzgârları II. Felipe’nin Armada’sını yok olmanın eşiğine getirirken İngiltere’ye de denizlerde üstünlük sağlayan en büyük güçlerden biri olmanın yolunu açmıştır. Bu sayede İngiltere bir dünya gücü haline gelmeye başlamıştır.
RECONSTRUCTION OF HOME IN PHILIP PULLMAN’S HIS DARK MATERIALS
Authors: PINAR DOLAYKAYA Mürüvvet Mira
Published: April 2021

In children’s literature, representations of home give way to multifarious ideological, social, economic, and cultural inferences. Both home and its outside display dualistic nature in children’s literature, containing positive and negative connotations at the same. Family house as a sanctuary connotes safety and protection, yet it simultaneously comes to be a space where children’s freedom is limited. Similarly, the outside of house signifies unknown hence dangerous territories, but it concurrently offers independence and an opportunity for exploration and experiencing for children. Taking into consideration such multi-layered associations and dual nature of both spaces, this study inquiries into the possibility of reconceptualizing and restructuring home in children’s literature. In this vein, this paper reads Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials (1995-2000) as a radical text in terms of its unique and experimental representations of home. It suggests that Pullman deconstructs genre-based conservative, de facto, and traditional representations of home in the canon of children’s literature and argues that the meanings of such concepts as home and homelessness can be extremely fluid and subjective.
BUDDHİST METİN CĀTAKALARIN İNTİZAR HÜSEYİN’İN ÖYKÜCÜLÜĞÜNE YANSIMALARI: KAPLUMBAĞA ÖYKÜSÜ

Published: April 2021

Buddhizm, Hint-Alt kıtasında MÖ 6. yüzyılda ortaya çıktığı ilk dönemde öğretisi tamamen Hindistan’a özgü saf bir Hint öğretisidir. Hinduizm’in baskın yapısına rağmen Hindistan’da kabul gördükten ve felsefi ve dini anlamda yaşam biçimi olmaya başladıktan sonra Buddhizm, öncelikle Asya’da ardından Batılı coğrafyalarda yayılmış, buradaki kültürleri derinden etkilemiş ve bu kültürlerden etkilenmiştir. Gautama Buddha’nın doğum hikâyeleri olarak bilinen ve özünde benlik arayışındaki insanın ve toplumun ahlaki ve etik açıdan gelişmesi ve zamanın döngüselliğine dayalı yaşam kuramının özümsenebilmesi için temel öğretileri içeren Cātakalar, Buddhizmin bu farklı dinler ve kültürler üzerindeki etkililiğinin işleyişine hizmet eden en önemli anlatılardandır. Hindistan’da doğan ve bu ülkenin 1947 yılında bölünüp Pakistan’ın kurulmasıyla, Hindistanlı Müslümanların birçoğu gibi Pakistan’a göç eden İntizar Hüseyin, ilk dönem eserlerinde bu acılı bölünmenin yansımalarına yer verse de, ilerleyen dönemlerde destanlara ilgi duymuştur. Yazar bu dönemin ertesinde, Hindistan kültürüne ait yerel anlatıları inceleyerek kendisine has sürrealist ve sembolist temalar içeren, destansı bir öykü anlayışı geliştirmiştir. İntizar Hüseyin’in Hint kültüründe etkilendiği en önemli masalsı anlatılardan biri de Buddhist Cātaka anlatıları olmuştur. Yazar, Cātaka anlatılarında geçen olay ve karakterleri bir takım tematik ve teknik değişikliklerle kendi öykülerine taşımış, böylelikle gerek Urdu edebiyatında gerekse Hint edebiyatında oldukça özel ve yeni bir tarzın gelişimine katkıda bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Cātaka anlatılarının yansımaları karşılaştırmalı metinler aracılığıyla incelenmiş ve Urdu öyküsünün gelişiminde Hindistan kültür ve medeniyetinin önemine dair bilgiler sunulmaya çalışılmıştır.
OSMAN TURAN'IN ADALET PARTİSİ'NDEKİ SİYASİ HAYATI (1965-1967)
Authors: SANLI Ferit Salim
Published: April 2021

Türk tarihçiliğinin mümtaz isimlerinden birisi olan Prof.Dr. Osman Turan ilmî hayatının yanı sıra aktif siyasetle de iştigal etmiş ve bu minvalde önce Demokrat Parti’de daha sonra da Adalet Partisi’nde milletvekilliği görevinde bulunmuştur. Turan her iki dönemde de iktidar partisinin mensubu konumunda olsa da muhalefet ettiği konularda görüşlerini dile getirmekten imtina etmeyen bir hüviyet sergilemiştir. “Merkez sağ” niteliğini haiz mezkûr iki partiye de bilhassa kültürel, ilmî ve manevî politikalar bağlamında önemli tenkitleri “içeriden” yönelten Turan’ın Adalet Partisi’ndeki siyasî hayatı, 1960’lı yılların siyasi kompozisyonunu ve Türk sağının çatallaşarak MHP, MNP gibi farklı partilerin ortaya çıkmasını anlamak açısından da önemlidir.
TOPLUMSAL GERÇEKLİKTEN KAÇIŞ: COVID-19 SÜRECİNDE MAGAZİN HABERLERİ VE GÜNDEM

Kitle iletişim araçlarının en önemli özelliklerinden biri de gündem belirlemeye olan katkısıdır. Bu katkıyı sağlarken kullandığı etmen ise haberdir. Haber aynı zamanda farklı kamuoylarının oluşturulmasında etkili olur. Özellikle haberin bilgilendirme boyutu tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 pandemi salgınıyla birlikte daha da artmıştır. Bu dönemde haberler kitleleri bilgilendirici, yönlendirici ve gündem belirleyici önemli bir unsur haline gelmiştir. Diğer taraftan ciddi habercilik anlayışı yerine daha soft olarak adlandırılan ve genellikle ünlülerin yaşamı üzerine odaklanan magazin haberleri, salgın döneminde önemli bir toplumsal gerçeklikten kaçış aracı olarak ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, COVID-19 pandemi salgınında Türkiye’de magazin haberlerinin içerikleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, sokağa çıkma yasaklarının başlandığı 11 Nisan tarihinden 30 Nisan'a kadarki süreçte örneklem olarak alınan Posta, Sabah ve Hürriyet gazetelerinin internet siteleri içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, istatistiki analizlerle değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirme sonucunda magazin haberlerinin gerçek ile kurgu arasında sınırları aştığı ve okuyucuyu toplumsal gerçeklikten uzaklaştırıcı haber yaptığı gözlenmiştir.
