Necip Asım (Yazıksız), Türkçülük
akımının önemli isimleri arasında yer alır. Türkoloji’nin kurucusu sayılan ve
ilk Türk dili tarihi profesörü kabul edilen Necip Asım çeşitli eserleriyle, Türkiye’de
20. yüzyılın başında ivme kazanan Türkçülük akımının hem siyasi hem de edebî
sahada yükselişine katkıda bulunmuştur. Dolayısıyla Türkçülüğün Türkiye’deki
kuramsal ve pratik yönlerinin net bir şekilde anlaşılabilmesi için Necip
Asım’ın eserleri oldukça önemli bir konumdadır. Buna rağmen Necip Asım’ın
çoğunlukla risale şeklinde ortaya koyduğu eserlerinin büyük kısmı henüz yeni
harflere aktarılmamış, çeşitli kütüphanelerde ve arşivlerde saklı kalmıştır.
İşte bu çalışmada, bu husustaki olumsuzluğu ortadan kaldırmaya dönük küçük bir
girişim olarak Necip Asım’ın 1913 yılında yayımladığı Millî Aruz risalesi ele alınacak ve Latin harflerine
aktarılacaktır. Temelde hece vezninin savunusu olan ve bu veznin hece sayısı,
kafiye, takti ve şekil kategorileri etrafında imkânlarını sorgulayan bu Millî Aruz, şüphesiz günümüzün Türkçülük
ve Millî Edebiyat araştırmalarına ışık tutacaktır.

Modified Rectorite Provides Reliable Rheology and Suspendability in Biodiesel-Based Fluids
Authors: Wilson Adam
Published: October 2018

This article, written by Special Publications Editor Adam Wilson, contains highlights of paper SPE 189310, “Novel Modified Rectorite Provides Reliable Rheology and Suspendability for Biodiesel-Based Drilling Fluid,” by Wai Li, SPE, Beijing Oilchemleader Science and Technology Development Company; Jishan Liu, The University of Western Australia; Xionghu Zhao, Jian Zhang, and Jiwei Jiang, SPE, China University of Petroleum; Tao He, GWDC Drilling Fluid Company; Liu Liu and Peiyuan Shen, The University of Western Australia; and Min Zhang, Sinopec, prepared for the 2018 SPE/IADC Middle East Drilling Technology Conference and Exhibition, Abu Dhabi, 29–31 January. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

The use of organophilic clays as additives to provide proper rheological and filtration properties in nonaqueous drilling fluids (NADFs) has long been a topic of study. Currently, most of these clays are based on the modification of bentonite with quaternary ammonium salts. As new NADF systems emerge, novel clay-modification technologies are needed to obtain more-effective organophilic clays for specific drilling fluids. This paper introduced a modified rectorite designed for biodiesel-based drilling fluid (BBDF).

Introduction

Biodiesel has drawn a great deal of attention from petroleum scientists and drilling engineers who are seeking environmentally friendly, high-performance, low-cost drilling fluids. The advantageous properties of biodiesel—such as a high flash point (for fire safety), sufficient viscosity (to carry cuttings to the surface during drilling), low eco-toxicity, excellent biodegradability, and good lubricity—make it suitable as a base oil for drilling fluid. Biodiesel also is relatively inexpensive in many situations. Many investigations and trials are being con-ducted on BBDF, suggesting some exciting results.

A general necessity for new drilling-fluid techniques is to customize a series of corresponding chemical additives; BBDF is no exception. Preliminary experience has shown that an additive used in traditional oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs) may be unable to perform well in a BBDF system. Consequently, new additives should be developed for BBDF in order to obtain the optimal operational and environmental properties.

Traditionally, most organophilic clays for drilling fluids are based on the intercalating reaction between bentonite and quaternary ammonium salts, which are classified as cationic surfactants. However, this type of organobentonite (OB) still has some disadvantages, such as eco- toxicity and high resistance to degradation when discarded in the environment.

Inexpensive rectorite has been selected to replace the commonly used bentonite as the raw clay to produce organophilic clay through a modification reaction with nonionic surfactants. Crucial properties, including swelling index, viscosity, yield point, gel strength, and suspendability, were evaluated.
Water-Injection Techniques Increase Recovery in Conventional Gas Reservoirs
Authors: Carpenter Chris
Published: October 2018

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 191206, “Exploiting Water-Injection Techniques for Increasing Gas Recovery in Conventional Gas Reservoirs,” by Keval Darvesh Rambaran, SPE, Sarah Tammie Chin Chee Fat, SPE, and Lugard Evans Layne, SPE, University of Trinidad and Tobago, prepared for the 2018 SPE Trinidad and Tobago Section Energy Resources Conference, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, 25–26 June The paper has not been peer reviewed.

Primary gas recovery for a volumetric reservoir ends when the reservoir pressure declines below the value required to flow gas to the surface at the sales-line pressure. Secondary gas-recovery techniques can then be used to increase the recovery. The most common of these techniques is gas compression, but another feasible technique that is rarely explored is water injection. This paper evaluates the incremental benefit of water injection in a conventional gas reservoir when compared with gas compression.

Introduction

An operator hopes to increase the recovery in Reservoir TM-20 in the Sorrel Field offshore Trinidad and Tobago by use of water injection once the technique is deemed more economical than gas compression. The wells in the reservoir are drilled from the Tamarind Platform, which also acts as a hub for the separation of fluids from fields in the immediate vicinity. Gases and liquids are piped through separate lines, with the liquids heading to the onshore liquid-processing facility. However, the company can modify the platform separators to operate in three phases and use the produced water for injection. Company records show that the average water-production rate from the platform is approximately 5,000 BWPD. If the shut-in wells were to be opened, roughly 10,000 BWPD of produced water and 15 MMscf/D of gas would be added for each well until liquid loading, thus increasing gas output significantly.

Field History

The Sorrel Field is a retrograde gas-condensate field located in the Columbus Basin, which has been producing from the TM-20 reservoir since 1998. The reservoir is a faulted sandstone formation of good quality that is divided into two hydrocarbon-bearing segments and underlain by an active aquifer. Segments 1 and 2 have been producing from Wells X and Y and Wells A and B, respectively, as shown in Fig. 1.

Unlike Segment 1, primary gas recovery in Segment 2 ended because of a decline in the reservoir pressure, thus making it a suitable choice for water injection. Segment 2 is a wedge-shaped structure bounded by two faults, with both faults being interpreted as sealing. Production in Segment 2 began in April 1999 with a reservoir pressure of 4,732 psig. It ended in January 2014 because of an inability to flow at the sales-line pressure of 950 psig.
RADIATE – Radial Dysplasia Assessment, Treatment and Aetiology: Protocol for the development of a core outcome set using a Delphi survey
Authors: Murphy George , Logan Malcolm , Smith Gill , Sivakumar Bran
Published: October 2018

Background

Radial dysplasia (RD) is a disfiguring, potentially disabling congenital upper limb anomaly. Multiple surgical techniques are in current use, with little agreement on the optimal treatment approach. At present, no core outcome set exists specifically for radial dysplasia, and the literature is dominated by retrospective case series. A recent systematic review by this group demonstrated significant heterogeneity in both which outcomes are measured, and how they are measured.

Methods

The RADIATE study will conduct a three-round online Delphi process, involving adult radial dysplasia patients, the parents of children with radial dysplasia, hand surgeons and hand therapists. The initial list of outcomes is drawn from our recent systematic review and will be supplemented by suggestions from the stakeholder groups. Following the Delphi process, outcomes which meet the ‘consensus in’ definition will be ratified at a final consensus meeting, and a method of outcome measurement agreed for each. Where appropriate, this will overlap with the outcome measures specified in the forthcoming ICHOM congenital upper limb anomalies standard set.

Discussion

The Radial Dysplasia Assessment, Treatment and Aetiology (RADIATE) study aims to address the uncertainty in the treatment of radial dysplasia, and to begin to answer the question “what is the most appropriate treatment for children with radial dysplasia?” by establishing a core outcome set.

Axiological Sphere in Adolescents with Different Levels of Agency Formation
Authors: Frizen M. A. , Kostenko L. O.
Published: October 2018

The article presents the results of a psychological research aimed at studying the axiological sphere in adolescents with different levels of agency formation. The authors conducted a thorough theoretical analysis and formulated some theses concerning the dynamics of the axiological sphere during the stage of development. The empiric research involved 71 respondents. The reference set was split into two groups according to agency formation level. The data obtained were interpreted according to criterion and correlation analyses. The axiological sphere of young men and women with better formed agency was characterized by a higher degree of crystallization of values that determine behavior and activity, strong pro-social orientation, and non-adaptive essence; their relations with other people were more productive, although they maintained a significant autonomy. Those with a lower degree of agency formation were characterized by hedonistic life-orientation, adaptibility of behavior, and a tendency to maintain their position in the system of social interaction.
Image of the Author as a Factor of the Interpretative Functioning of the Text
Authors: Belyaeva E. S.
Published: October 2018

The paper features the role of the author's image as a factor that determines the variable functioning of the text in the process of its interpretation by a native speaker. A linguistic experiment conducted by the author revealed semantic versions of the source text as a result of the influence of the author's image on the interpreting activity of the addressee. The image of the author is viewed as a portrait of a political leader modeled by the addressee and his or her communicative intentions on the basis of the analysis of interpretive texts as the result of perception and interpretation of the source text. The research proves that the image of the author influences the addressee’s interpretation of the text. The author used the method of linguistic analysis to prove that the image of the author of the political text is shaped in mundane political consciousness under the impact of various factors and influences mundane linguistic consciousness and the interpreting activity of the addressee. This is confirmed by the fact that the same text, attributed to different politicians, received different interpretations depending on how the recipient perceived the politician designated as the author of the text.
The Concept of the Exiled in the Angara Linguoculture
Authors: Smirnov E. S.
Published: October 2018

The article features the structure and content of the concept "the exiled" in the Angaralinguoculture. Using conceptual analysis method, the author identified and examined conceptual and value layers of the concept "the exiled" in the oral stories and interviews with the residents of the North Angara river basin (Kezhemsky, Bogychansky and Motyginsky districts of Krasnoyarskregion). The originality of the study is in the fact that it is the first time the concept in question has been investigated on the basis of the Angarabasin residents’ oral stories and interviews. The study was conducted in the frames of the communicative-discursive paradigm of the modern linguistics. Its topicality is based on the fact that the conceptosphere of the Angaralinguoculture remains largely understudied. Moreover, researches of the moral culture of the Angarabasin residents have important sociocultural value since the population was mostly resettled after the construction of the Bogychany hydroelectric power station and flooding of villages in Kezhemsky district of Krasnoyarsk region. The research findings broaden the empirical basis of linguoculturology and communicative dialectology and clarify the peculiarities of the concept "the exiled" in the regional Siberian linguoculture. The author established that the explication of the value layer of the concept «the exiled» was verbalized via evaluative adverbs and adjectives. Positive normative (rationalistic),
The Fortress of the Holy Cross: Foundation and Construction (1722–1735)
Authors: Abdusalamov M.-P. B. , Chekulayev N. D.
Published: October 2018

The current research is based on archival documents and works by domestic specialists in Caucasian studies. It features the foundation and construction of the Fortress of the Sacred Cross. Its history began during the famous Persian, or Caspian, Campaign of Peter the Great (1722–1723). As a result, the Caspian provinces of Iranand the entire Seaside Dagestan entered the Russian Empire. To protect the new territories, a system of military fortifications was built. The Fortress of the Holy Cross was founded by Peter the Great in September, 1722, inthe estuary of the SulakRiver. It gradually became one of the economic, administrative and political centers of the Caucasus.

Owing to its strategic location, the Fortress of the Holy Cross played an important historical role in the Caucasian policy ofRussia: it wasRussia’s pillar of support in the region and shielded the southern boundaries of the Empire. The article focuses on the history of the garrison, which has long remained understudied by domestic historiographers. Some Russian researches devoted to the Caucasian policy in general mention the political and economic role of the Fortress. However, there have been no separate studies devoted to the history of the Fortress – a lacuna the authors of the article attempt to bridge.
Metagenomic study on the composition of culturable and non-culturable bacteria in tap water and biofilms at intensive care units
Authors: Farhat Maha , Alkharsah Khaled R. , Alkhamis Fatimah I. , Bukharie Huda A.
Published: October 2018

Bacterial community diversity of bulk water and corresponding biofilms of four intensive care units' (ICUs) drinking water systems were studied and compared using 16S rRNA gene amplicons and next generation sequencing. Proteobacteria, mainly Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria were dominant in the bulk water and biofilms. Principal component analysis showed different bacterial communities characterizing each of the bulk water and the biofilms in three of the studied ICUs. Taxonomic classification and comparison of different genera between samples highlighted the dominance of Aquabacterium (80%) and Novosphingobium (72%) in bulk water while biofilms harbored different bacteria affiliated to Pelomonas (97%) and Caulobacter (96%), Porphyrobacter (78%) and Staphylococcus (74%). Staphylococcus aureus was the only possible pathogen found with low percentage (2.32%) in three of the ICUs' biofilm and only in one of the ICU's bulk water. This study sheds light on the prevalence of unculturable bacterial flora in the biofilm ignored by the microbiological standard methods. This study was performed on tap and bulk water from ICUs; however, it indicates the need for further studies to investigate the function and activity of the microbial diversity in order to assess the real risk presented by this water microflora on patients' health.
Experimental Studying of the Variations of Surface Roughness and Dimensional Accuracy in Dry Hard Turning Operation
Authors: Yousefi S. , Zohoor M.
Published: October 2018

Objective:

Hard turning in dry condition using cubic boron nitride tools, as an alternative of traditional grinding operation, is an advanced machining operation in which hardened steel with the hardness greater than 46 HRc is machined without the use of any coolant.

Method:

In the hard turning process, due to its hard nature, usually the cutting depth is selected lower than or equal to the nose radius, and the cutting zone is mainly limited within the tool nose area. Thus, unlike the traditional turning, the effect of the nose radius on the surface finish and dimensional accuracy becomes more complicated. Therefore, in this paper, firstly, the effect of processing parameters such as nose radius on the surface roughness and dimensional accuracy is investigated. Then, the relationship between the surface finish and dimensional accuracy variations with vibration, cutting forces, and tool wear is studied experimentally. The results revealed that feed rate is the most important factor influencing the surface roughness, whereas spindle speed and cutting depth are insignificant factors. On the other hand, cutting depth and spindle speed have the greatest effect on the dimensional accuracy, while nose radius has no significant effect. The vibration and wear analysis revealed that compared with the vibration, the tool wear has no considerable effect on the dimensional accuracy. It was also observed that the spindle speed has a contradictory effect on the surface roughness and dimensional accuracy. The best dimensional accuracy is obtained at 500 rpm, while the best surface quality is achieved at 2000 rpm.

Result:

The obtained results also showed that increasing the feed rate from a particular value not only leads to no significant changes in the surface roughness value but in some cases can also decrease the surface roughness.

Conclusion:

According to the analysis results, the lowest cutting depth, the moderate feed rate, and the speed lower than 1100 rpm provide the best dimensional accuracy. Compared with carbides and ceramics, cubic boron nitride tools produce a better surface roughness at both higher cutting depth and speed. 0.202 µm is the best surface roughness that was obtained at rε = 1.2 mm, N = 2000 rpm, f = 0.08 mm/rev, d = 0.5 mm which is comparable with the surface quality obtained by the conventional grinding operation.

Sr. Editor:La publicación científica es el principal medio por el que se comparten y divulgan los resultados de la investigación. Las revistas científicas se encargan de perpetuar el proceso a través de la exhibición de estos resultados para que lectores puedan analizar, interpretar, replicar y dar solución a las diversas incertidumbres que en algún momento fueron problema de investigación.Así surge la necesidad de que la comunidad científica desarrolle habilidades, métodos y plantee teorías sobre la realización de estándares que permitan mejorar el flujo de investigación dirigida a la publicación científica. Sin embargo, de la misma forma en como estos estándares son propuestos para el desarrollo de un proyecto y artículo de investigación, ¿existen estándares para la selección de investigadores? La pregunta nos permite interrogarnos nuevamente ¿cuál debe ser el perfil de quien investiga?, ¿la calidad de la producción científica se acompaña del perfil académico o de los resultados de la investigación únicamente?

Se analiza la producción científica de México registrada en Web of Science de 1900 a 2000 en las áreas de ciencias exactas e ingenierías para caracterizar la forma en que se incorporan las mujeres investigadoras al desarrollo de estos campos de estudio. El trabajo se apoya en el método bibliométrico cuantitativo a través de la aplicación de indicadores de género, producción e impacto científico y el análisis de redes bibliométricas de coautoría. En México, las ciencias exactas e ingenierías registran sus primeras aportaciones durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Las mujeres lo hicieron a partir de los años 40 a través de laboratorios Syntex donde publicaron sus contribuciones iniciales. La participación de las investigadoras se incrementó entre 1960 y 1970 con el reconocimiento de las mujeres en la educación superior y la investigación, así como la creación de distintas instituciones de investigación en el país, además de los cambios de las mujeres con respecto a la elección de carrera. Finalmente, las contribuciones de este trabajo representan una ventaja para la propia comunidad científica, pero también para las organizaciones orientadas a promover la equidad de género y las instituciones que integran investigadoras en este campo de estudio.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la disponibilidad de los alimentos y bebidas que pueden incluirse en la merienda escolar según la Ley 19.140, en supermercados de Montevideo, en 2015. Se seleccionaron por conveniencia, cadenas de supermercados cuyas sucursales estuviesen distribuidas en la ciudad, de manera de abarcar gran parte de la superficie y alcanzar sectores de la población de diverso nivel socioeconómico. Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal. La población de estudio fue el total de los alimentos ofertados, correspondientes al Grupo 1 y 3 de la ley, que deben cumplir con los criterios nutricionales exigidos para incluirse en la merienda escolar. Las fuentes de información fueron las listas de los alimentos ofertados provistas por los supermercados o sus sitios web oficiales, fichas técnicas de Nutriguía, y rotulados nutricionales de productos de las góndolas. Se evaluaron 803 productos alimenticios. En el 80%, no se pudo evaluar la totalidad de los criterios nutricionales exigidos por la ley, debido a que la declaración obligatoria del rotulado nutricional no incluye azúcares refinados, criterio que sí se tiene en cuenta para categorizar las meriendas como adecuadas para los centros educativos. De estos, el 59% fueron No adecuados para la merienda escolar. En el 20% restante, se evaluaron los seis criterios nutricionales de la ley; y de ellos, el 77% de los productos fueron No adecuados para la merienda escolar. Existe por lo tanto, una elevada proporción de productos No adecuados para la merienda escolar. El aporte calórico, las grasas totales y las saturadas fueron los criterios nutricionales excedidos en la mayoría de los productos evaluados. Hay un largo camino por recorrer por parte de la industria para superar estas limitantes y contar con una oferta de productos acordes a la ley.
Measuring acquired capability for suicide: Incremental validity of the Death Inurement Scale
Authors: Naidoo Sarojini , Collings Steven J.
Published: October 2018

Proponents of the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide have theorized that an acquired capability for suicide is a key construct in the development of high-risk suicidal behavior. However, extant measures do not adequately capture the content domains of this construct. Using
239 psychiatric outpatients recruited from public and private psychiatry and psychology sites, we validated a measure of acquired capability derived from extant measures, the Death Inurement Scale (DIS) in the South African context. The results suggest that the DIS explains additional variance
in suicide risk above the measures previously used and provide support for its incremental validity.

Swingle and Amorpha fruticosa L. that grow on the fly-ash deposits at the ?Nikola Tesla ? A? thermoelectric power plant in Obrenovac. The chemical characteristics of fly ash, such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), content of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), contents of available phosphorus (P2O5) and potassium (K2O), the contents of total and available Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn as well as of phenolic acids (3,5 dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,5-DHBA) and ferulic acid) and flavonoids (rutin and quercetin) were analyzed in control fly ash (bare zones without vegetation cover) and plant rhizospheric fly ash. In order to determine the allelopathic activity of phenolic compounds in fly ash, modified soil sandwich allelopathic biotests were performed, and Trifolium pratense L. (red clover) was used as the indicator species. A. fruticosa showed the highest allelopathic activity, followed by A. altissima whereas R. pseudoacacia showed the lowest allelopathic potential. Negative correlation was noted between radicle and hypocotyl growth inhibition of red clover and the pH of fly ash. Positive correlations were found between radicle growth inhibition and the content of C, P2O5, total concentrations of Cu, available concentrations of Mn and Ni, the contents of ferulic acid, 3,5-DHBA, and rutin. Our results indicate that A. fruticosa and A. altissima increased the content of phenolics in fly ash, which can act as allelochemicals leading to radicle growth inhibition of red clover in the pioneer plant community on fly-ash deposits. These woody species that colonized fly-ash deposits can initiate the beginning of pedogenetic processes altering the ecosystem processes at degraded sites.

In this study, six 6- and 1,6-substituted-3-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridones were synthesized in a continuous flow microreactor system. The syntheses were realized at room temperature and the obtained results were compared to those achieved within classical syntheses. In order to optimize the continuous flow syntheses and increase the yield of the products, the retention time in the microreactor was varied by changing the flow rates of the reactant solutions. Furthermore, the reaction was optimized for 3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2- -pyridone and 3-cyano-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone, which are comercially important in the pharmaceutical and dye industries. Both 2-pyridones were obtained in satisfactory yield of circa 60 % in less than 10 min. The resulting compounds were characterized by their melting points, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and UV?Vis spectra. The efficiency of the presented method for the synthesis of 2-pyridone-based molecules has promising potential for industrial production.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate whether older veterans enrolled in two diabetes prevention programs (DPPs) in the Veterans Health Administration will have similar weight loss as younger veterans.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Post hoc analysis of data from two prospective, pragmatic, nonrandomized studies of behavioral weight management interventions that were delivered in-person (Department of Veterans Affairs [VA]-DPP) or online (Online-DPP), comparing participation and weight loss between participants aged ≥65 years (N = 120) vs. <65 years (N = 258).

RESULTS

Over 70% of participants in both age groups completed eight or more sessions within 6 months; a higher proportion completed eight or more sessions in the Online-DPP intervention than in the VA-DPP intervention (P < 0.05). The overall weight changes at 6 and 12 months were similar across the two age groups: ∼5 kg or 5% weight loss compared with baseline (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

DPPs delivered in person or online can be similarly effective in older and younger veterans. Online programs may be an important means to improve the reach of DPPs for older adults.
SEASONAL INFLUENZA VACCINATION COVERAGE: EHIS SURVEY RESULTS VERSUS OECD STATISTICS
Authors: Blazinska Lucia , Duric Predrag , Rusnák Martin , O'May Fiona
Published: October 2018

Seasonal influenza vaccination is one of the most important tools of prevention. Countries currently use many different methodologies to measure national influenza vaccine coverage in populations at higher risk. The study uses two main data sources: The European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) (collected by Eurostat) and OECD statistics, and compares both results. Findings showed that the EHIS survey results observed in this study are mainly lower than OECD data. This can mean that international sources provide overestimated data of coverage compared to outcomes from population surveys.

Corpo e sexualidade na Gaudium et Spes 49 a 51: uma interlocução com Merleau-Ponty e García Rubio | Body and sexuality in Gaudium et spes 49 to 51: An interlocution with Merleau-Ponty and García Rubio
Authors: Nunes Gilberto Dias , Nobre José Aguiar
Published: October 2018

Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, sobre a literatura produzida por Maurice Merleau-Ponty e Alfonso García Rubio em interlocução com a teologia presente na Gaudium et Spes, números 49 a 51. Far-se-á um recorte temático de algumas das obras dos autores para apresentar o corpo e sexualidade do ser humano. A partir de sua fenomenologia filosófica, Merleau-Ponty define-o como corpo-consciência, ser encarnado no mundo perceptivo e significativo. A partir se sua antropologia teológica, à luz da fé cristã e do pensamento semita, Alfonso García Rubio define-o como ser unitário, ser integral, indivisível em seu corpo e sexualidade. Na Gaudium et Spes, números 49 a 51, como ponto de práxis hodierna, apresenta a finalidade do sacramento do Matrimônio como sendo a plena vivência do amor conjugal entre o homem e a mulher. Hipoteticamente, chegou-se à conclusão de que o corpo e a consciência formam o ser humano, “ser-no-mundo” perceptivo e rico de significações. Ser de reações que interage com o outro, com o mundo e com o sagrado. Ser capaz de compreender e interpretar o fenômeno religioso que se manifesta no mundo perceptivo por seu corpo. Far-se-á, assim, uma interlocução com teóricos da modernidade e a Ciência da Religião.

This research started from the desire to do Da'wah Islamiyah to the inland residents of Central Kalimantan, especially to the Dayaks who have the power of Exotic Drag to be studied and dii through the door of their social culture. Actually the belief system is a form of human conquest of humanity to something great, all-powerful and all-great. The Dohoi tribe that is part of the Ot Danak Dayak tribe has a peculiarity in the order of life of his belief, although they have adherence to the Dayak conviction of Kaharingan belief. The Dohoi tribe as adherents of the Helu religion (ancient religion) continue to hold rituals of Kaharingan faith even though they have embraced other religions such as Protestant, Catholic and Moslem. It is interesting to examine in order to express their strong sense of belief and has survived almost 2 centuries of Kaharingan faith development by its adherents in Central Kalimantan. The results showed that the Dohoi tribe is a follower of syncretism in which their beliefs (Kaharingan) are believed to be the dominant religious teachings they use ie Hindu, Buddhist, Christian / Catholic and Moslem.
