Haberî Sıfatlar ve Süleyman Ateş’in Haberî Sıfatlara İlişkin Görüşleri
Authors: ÜÇER Cenksu , ÜNAL Merve
Published: August 2023

Bu çalışmada Süleyman Ateş’in haberî sıfatlara ilişkin görüşleri ele alınmıştır. Allah’ın sıfatları konusu, İslam tarihinde daha çok ilk yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren tartışılmaya başlanmış olan bir konudur. Bu tartışmalar Allah’a zâtı dışında veya zâtıyla beraber bir sıfat nispet edilip edilmeyeceği, edilecekse bunların neler olduğu, taksimi ve bu sıfatların keyfiyetinin nasıl anlaşılacağı gibi başlıklarda yürütülmüştür. Haberî sıfatlar da tartışılan bu başlıkların önemlilerinden biri olmuştur. Genelde sıfatlar özelde ise haberî sıfatlar konusu, Kelam ve İslam Mezhepleri Tarihi (Fırak Geleneği) alanlarında herhangi bir anlayış, mezhep, ekol, grup veya kişinin hüviyetinin belirlenmesi hususunda önemli göstergelerden biridir. İtikâdî görüşlerin şekillenmesi ve bunların yaygın olarak kabul edilmesinde coğrafyanın son derece önemli bir unsur olduğu aşikârdır. Dolayısıyla araştırmanın temel hipotezi, Ateş’in haberî sıfatlar hakkındaki görüşlerinin bu topraklarda yaygın olan itikadî mezheplerinki ile aynı doğrultuda olacağı şeklindedir. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de yetişmiş bir âlimin haberî sıfatlarla ilgili görüşlerinin ortaya konulması önemli görülmüştür. Nitel araştırma hüviyetindeki bu çalışmada, Ateş’in haberî sıfatlar hakkındaki görüşleri incelenerek konu hakkındaki düşüncelerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmanın hedefleri bağlamında öncelikle sıfatlar konusunda bir genel çerçeve çizilmiş, sonrasında haberî sıfatlar hakkında Mu‘tezile, Ehl-i Hadîs, Eş‘ariyye ve Mâtürîdiyye gibi ekol ve mezheplerin görüşleri ana hatlarıyla ortaya konulmuş ve Ateş’in haberî sıfatlarla ilgili görüşleri vech, ‘ayn, yed ve istivâ örnekleminde incelenerek bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Haberî sıfatları kabul eden Süleyman Ateş, bunları Allah’ın zâtı ve fiilleri ile ilgili olanlar şeklinde ayırıp ‘uluvv, ‘ayn, vech, yed, isba‘ ve kabza sıfatlarını zâtına; istivâ, nüzul, rahmet ve gazab sıfatlarını ise fiiline ilişkin sıfatlar olarak tasnif etmektedir. Ateş’e göre haberî sıfatlar Allah’ın, daha iyi anlamaları için kullarına kullandığı bir üslubun parçasıdır. Çünkü insanlar sözlerinin gücünü artırmak için kendi aralarında -dili ne olursa olsun- mecazlı söyleyişlere yer vermektedir. Bu sebeple Allah görünmez alemi, görünen alemden hareketle anlatmıştır. Bunları gerçek manasıyla anlamak doğru değildir. Şayet bunlar gerçek anlamında anlaşılırsa Müşebbihe ve Mücessime’nin hatasına düşülmüş olur. Allah ise teşbîhi andıran her türlü düşünceden münezzehtir. Ateş, çalışma kapsamında ele alınan vech sıfatını Allah’ın zâtı ve Allah’ın rızası; yed sıfatını cömertlik ve bey‘at (Bey’atü’r-Rıdvân), ‘ayn sıfatını da gözetim ve koruma altına alma anlamlarında kullanmakta; istivâ sıfatını ise yönetimi eline almak, kurulmak ve hükümrân olmak anlamlarında açıklayarak bir nevi te’vil yapmaktadır. Ateş’in, bu tespitlerle Mâtürîdîler’in bu konulardaki görüşlerine yakın yorumlar serdettiği görülmektedir.

Konteyner Limanlarında Geleneksel İstifleme Yöntemlerinin Kaynak Temelli Yaklaşım Bağlamında Bulanık AHP Yöntemiyle Analizi: Sistemsel Bir Öneri
Authors: KENDİR Tarık Efe , BUCAK Umur
Published: August 2023

Konteyner trafiğinin her geçen gün artması ile konteyner sahalarına ve limanlarına olan ihtiyaç gün geçtikçe aynı oranda artmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, özellikle konteyner terminallerdeki geri saha problemleri liman kapasitelerini sınırlamaktadır. Bu nedenle, liman kapasite artışlarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, yeni limanların yer problemleri nedeni ile sanayi bölgelerinden daha uzak bölgelere inşa edilmesi durumları ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu durum hem ulaşım maliyetlerini artırmakta hem de karbon emisyonları bakımından üretim tesislerini dezavantajlı duruma getirmektedir. Ayrıca, geri-depo sahalarında kapasiteler belirlenirken hava şartları, geri saha istif ekipman kat sınırlamaları ve konteynerlerin zati kaldırma kapasiteleri dikkate alınmalıdır. Bu çalışmada geleneksel konteyner istifleme sistemlerinin darboğazlarını tanımlayan kriterler belirlenmiş ve Bulanık AHP yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar en önemli kriterin ‘Ekipman Sınırlamaları’ olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu da liman kapasitesini belirleyen istifleme yüksekliğindeki sınırlamaya sebep olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, gelecekte ihtiyaç duyulması öngörülen kapasite artışına cevap verebilecek bir istifleme sisteminin uygun stratejik yaklaşımlarla belirlenmesi kaynak temelli yaklaşım açısından da en rekabetçi yaklaşım olması düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çok katlı konteyner istifleme sistemleri, kısıtlı liman sahasında yüksek istifleme kapasiteleri, yüksek operasyonel verimlilik, yeşil enerji üretimine olanak vermesi ve daha düşük karbon ayak izi gibi avantajları bakımından kapasite problemlerini gidermeye çalışan limanlar için rekabetçi avantaj getirecektir.

Background: As total hip replacement cases increase year after year, registry-wide data becomes increasingly important in order to assess pathology distribution, reimbursement efficiency as well as physician performance. In order to assess all these factors patient evolution needs to be documented after surgery as well, but the main impediment to doing this is losing patients to follow-up. For this reason, the present study aims to perform a descriptive analysis of the hospital’s internal registry data as well as to determine what percentage of patients can be expected to return to follow-up after total hip replacement. Methods: A query of the hospital’s internal registry data in the last years was performed. Patient demographics, county distribution as well as ICD-10 code usage were documented. Data standardization was performed to determine the probability and cumulative distribution of the patient’s age. The chi2 test of independence was used to assess whether there is a correlation between the patient’s gender and ICD-10 codes. Pot hoc power analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of correlation analysis. Results: Only 29.6% of the patients undergoing total hip replacement are from the county within which the hospital is located. 25% of the patients were under 60 years old. Conclusions: Current registry data reveals that most patients undergoing total hip replacement are around 67.5 ± 11 years old, suffer from unilateral or bilateral primary or secondary hip osteoarthritis and only 29.6% of them are likely to return to follow-up.

"Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The objective of the study was to identify the predictive factors for unfavorable evolution and deaths among patients with CDI. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational, non-randomized study on 202 patients diagnosed with CDI in the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Bucharest, Romania, for a period of two years. For the statistical analysis, the R program was used, with p-values <0.05 being considered statistically significant. Results: The average age of the patients included in the study was 70.8 years, the average duration of hospitalization was 18.4 days, and the mortality rate was 25.7%. During the follow-up period, only 5% of the patients presented a recurrence of CDI. Multiple binomial logistic regression defined as independent risk factors for death among CDI patients: advanced age, comorbidities such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p=0.008), chronic kidney disease (p=0.007), or COVID-19 (p=0.036), leukocytes ≥ 16,755/mm3 (p=0.009) and serum albumin < 2.83 g/dL (p<0.001). Conclusions: The identification of certain negative prognostic factors in patients with CDI requires a careful follow-up of the patients, for an early identification of complications and adaptation of therapeutic management."

"Background: The prevalence of smoking among students is a growing concern, particularly among medical students. Being associated with stress, competitiveness, and various social influences, smoking can have detrimental effects on self-esteem and self-efficacy and may create a vicious cycle that may contribute to student’s well-being and academic performance outcomes. We aimed to investigate the relationship between self-esteem, self-efficacy, and smoking habits among medical students and their sociodemographic correlates. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 456 medical students was conducted via an online survey using structured questionnaires on socio-demographic characteristics, smoking habits, nicotine dependence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Results: The prevalence of smoking was 31.1% The scores of self-esteem and self-efficacy were positively correlated with smoking habits (W1=0.957, W2=0.975, P<0.05). Students presented rather low smoking addiction with male students having slightly higher scores than female students on self-esteem and self-efficacy, military students had higher self-esteem scores than civilians with physical activity having a positive correlation with non-smoking behavior. Conclusion: According to our results, selfesteem and self-efficacy were slightly positively correlated with smoking habits. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant association between other social factors and smoking. Our results may develop a theoretical basis for medical students’ psychological variables studying for further implementation of university educational programs and preventive interventions empowering students towards an overall better quality of life, addressing, among others, smoking behaviors."

Background: The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is an extremely useful tool for analyzing cardiac arrhythmias and numerous ECG algorithms have been developed to predict the origin of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) arrhythmias. Aim: To determine if using complex, time-consuming analysis, and difficult-to-memorize ECG algorithms is feasible and preferable before the ablation procedure when compared with the use of multipolar mapping catheter use during the ablation procedure. Methods: 47 consecutive patients admitted for radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic PVC were included prospectively in this study. Of the algorithms selected for comparison, three have a memorable design and easy applicability (Dixit, Joshi, Pytkowski) and the fourth has a complex, detailed design and is more difficult to memorize (Zhang). Results: The greatest accuracy was observed for the algorithms proposed by Dixit and Pytkowski – 92. 3%. However, when the algorithms were compared for their accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, no significant differences were found (p=0. 96). Conclusions: 3-D guided mapping using a conventional ablation catheter in a narrower, precise area of interest in the RVOT, based on ECG algorithms is not inferior compared to the multielectrode catheter mapping in the whole RVOT, in terms of mapping time, total procedural time, and radiofrequency application time.

According to the results of the study, there were determined the peculiarities of military values of servicemen who participated in hostilities and had signs of PTSD and moral trauma. The study included 397 servicemen (aged 20 to 55 years) with combat experience. The study showed that PTSD and violation of moral normativity were closely related to unfavorable social conditions of performing combat tasks. Unlike PTSD, the moral normativity indicator was less tightly related to the immediate threat to life. The structure of values of the servicemen had no signs of PTSD as well as no violation of moral normativity consisted of factors that indicated the value of teamwork, responsibilities for decisions and actions made based on ideas related to loyalty to the oath and the Motherland, resistance, and professionalism. For the servicemen who participated in hostilities who had violations of moral normativity, it was more important to have the ability to act following their conscience, not to lose dignity, and to remain honest in the faces of their brothers than to have professionalism, loyalty to the oath and the Motherland.

Authors: Mertha Adnyana I Made Dwi , Utomo Budi
Published: August 2023

Dengue virus infection (IVD) has resulted in significant mortality and morbidity in the past decade in Bali, Indonesia. IVD case reports in 57 subdistricts in the period January–December 2022 reached 7,582 cases (distribution of cases between subdistricts in Figure 1), an incidence rate (IR) of 162/100,000 population (Figure 1), and mortality of 15 people (case fatality rate [CFR] of 0.2%). Cases were declared to have tripled from the previous year, and IR did not meet the national target (> 49/100,000 population). The urgency of dengue eradication in Bali aims to reduce morbidity and mortality due to DHF. We highlight the challenges and obstacles that make IVD cases in Bali increasingly concerning. Based on our review, climate variability is essential in increasing vector populations in the environment. However, a comprehensive study that studies the interrelationships of all climate elements, including temperature, air humidity, wind speed, air pressure, precipitation, rainy days, rain properties, the standardized precipitation index (SPI), and the length of solar irradiation in increasing abundance, population, and vector activity with increasing cases of IVD, has not been studied comprehensively.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: As there was little literature available about gender disparities in undernutrition within household, this secondary analysis was performed on a large representative data with an objective to evaluate the Z-score differences, viz., Weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ), Height-for-age Z-score (HAZ), Weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) and BMI-for-age Z-score (BAZ) of the Indian female under-5 children with their male siblings within same household.
Methods: Individual data of 19083 pairs of siblings was analysed from the NFHS -5 data. Differences in the Z-scores of the siblings was calculated as male’s Z-score minus female’s Z-score and factors influencing them were studied.
Results: The mean HAZ and WAZ scores were less than -1.4 Standard deviations (SD) for both genders – while the means of WHZ and BAZ scores were ranging between -0.67 to -0.83. The differences in Z scores were more or less distributed equally on both sides of zero, implying no disadvantage to any of the genders. The mean differences in the Z scores were minimal (-0.07 in HAZ, -0.04 in WAZ, -0.06 in WHZ and 0.01 in BAZ).
Conclusion: There was little or no difference in the mean z scores of females and male siblings and did not indicate any gender advantage or disadvantage.

Gender Politics in English Language: Exploring the
Factors that Affect the Use of the Epicene Pronoun in
Esl Context
Authors: Fenyi Daniel Arkoh , Arthur Rebecca
Published: August 2023

The English language lacks a pronoun for a singular genderless nominal antecedent. Due to that, different schools of thought have emerged in language studies over what item to be considered appropriate for such role. The pronouns that are used to play the role are collectively known as epicene pronoun. Over the years, the debate has lingered on three epicenes- generic he, coordinated he or she and the singular they, with recent debates tilting towards the singular they. The APA’s (2019) style manual, in its latest edition, i.e. the 7th edition, instructed scholars to use they/them/their pronouns for situations where gender is unknown or irrelevant. While several studies have confirmed that the singular they has become the most preferred epicene in L1 context, minimum studies have been conducted in L2 contexts. This study explores the factors that affect the use of the epicene in the L2 context, in Ghana precisely. 20 English major tertiary students were recruited for the study and data were collected using questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The outcome of the analysis confirms that the coordinated he or she is the most preferred epicene in the L2 context. However, it is revealed that when the singular antecedent evokes a plural ‘sense’, the singular they is the most preferred. The study also reveals that three factors account for the use of the epicene- socio-cultural factors, input/amount of exposure factor and grammaticality factors. It is recommended that, as the concept of gender evolves and expands beyond the simplistic binary male and female, the singular they becomes more gender responsive and should be introduced into the language curricula of L2 contexts.

The Eastern Necropolis of Serdica. History of researches and grave structures (2nd-6th century)
Authors: Nikolova Yordana
Published: August 2023

The Еastern Necropolis of Serdica is the bigger of the two necropolises of the ancient city. Researches of its territory have continued for more than 100 years, and the accumulated amount of burial structures numbers over 500 pieces. They represent 8 different types, dating from the beginning/middle of the 2nd century - to the Ottoman rule. The basilica "Saint Sofia", which went through various stages of construction and transformations, is also used as a chronological benchmark for some of the burial facilities. The total area of the necropolis amounts to a very large territory composed of separate zones, with varying amounts of structures in each zone. However, to date, there is no definitive article about it. The current article is an attempt to collect and present, in a general framework, all the discoveries up to this point in the Eastern Necropolis of Serdica. In addition, the collected and analyzed information will be transformed into identification files for the register of archaeological sites in Sofia. This is also linked to the work the Regional History Museum - Sofia does for the CLaDA-BG project. This newly created registry will provide an opportunity for two important advancements in the preservation of the archaeological heritage. On one hand - by creating digital archaeological files, the information will be better stored and protected, and on the other - it will create a more easily accessible and widely available databank for the necropolis.

Video-learning (in the form of video films), when properly integrated into the curriculum, can make learning much more engaging and successful for medical and healthcare students. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of learning practical skills (Holter placement) in Nursing students. The students were divided into two groups of 8 students each. The first group was given an algorithm on paper, and the second group - a specially made video film. The results showed that the acquisition of this medical manipulation was more effective in the students having access to the video film. 87.5% of the students who watched the film did well on the post-test, compared to 50% of the second group (P less than 0.05). Students learning through a video lesson show higher satisfaction and retention of knowledge and skills. The results of the current study found that video triggers can be used effectively to capture learners' attention and deliver a visual lesson. However, threshold motivation is required for active learning to be successful.

Indonesia is the number 1 clove producing country in the world, in amount of 140,812 tons (The Ministry of Indonesian Agriculture, 2022). Cloves are commonly used as a flavor enhancer for food and drinks. Its warm and spicy sensation is quite popular among people, especially those who live in cold areas. In addition, cloves are also useful for aromatic mixture of cigarettes. In addition, cloves are also good for the health of the body because they are known contain phosphorus, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, sodium and vitamins. This study aims were to determine the optimum concentration of organic auxin and the effect of using household waste media on the growth of clove plant seedlings. This study used a factorial experimental method which was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of two factors. The first factor was the dose of household waste consisting of L0 = no household waste (control/ only with 2.5 g NPK fertilizer); L1 = household waste 10%; L2 = household waste 20% and L3 = household waste 30%. The second factor was the type of organic auxins, which consist of A0 = without organic auxin; A1 = red onion organic auxin; A2 = tomato organic auxin; A3 = auxin organic mung bean sprouts. Each treatment was repeated 4 times, resulting in 64 experimental units. The results showed that there was no interaction between the dose of household waste and natural auxins on the growth of clove seedling. Household waste can replace NPK fertilizer starting from a dose of 10 g/plant. Kinds of natural auxin did not affect the growth of clove seedlings. The seedling cultivation is enough profitable.

Biofuel production is at the forefront of the agenda of many countries across the globe in the quest to lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy access. The increase in oil prices and climate change have been the drivers to ensure the adoption of biofuels. With the global consumption of oil projected to increase, biofuel provides a viable option for a clean, affordable, and climate-friendly source of fuel. However, biofuel production is in Kenya faced with various challenges. Therefore, the study sought to assess the factors that influence biofuel production in Western Kenya. The qualitative research design was adopted with both primary and secondary data collected. Data collection was through interviews, focus group discussions, case studies, and a review of secondary data. The results established that there was a link between food security and biofuel production. Factors influencing the production of biofuel in Western Kenya included the lack of a specific national biofuel policy framework that promotes sustainable development and use of biofuels, limited research, insufficient feedstock to increase production, over-reliance on rain-fed agriculture to grow energy crops, inadequate technology and technical expertise and some knowledge among stakeholders regarding the need and importance of biofuel deployment across the country. There is need for alternative sustainable farming methods that can incorporate cane farming and food crop farming to ensure food security, better farming practices to increase the cane yield, and research on consumer attitudes and behaviours towards biofuels to promote the adoption of the technology.

Precision tillage has great potential. The result of tillage operations can be improved depending on the optimal solution of construction working bodies and technological parameters of cultivating, which, in addition, can be adapted to the tillage technology depending on the local agro-climatic conditions. The article presents the results of the synthesis of the system of adaptive control of soil cultivation by creating a complex technological system with modeling of the structural-matrix schemes and on-stream technological influences of working bodies of machines and external agro-climatic conditions on the agrophysical state of the soil. The research methods are matrix methods of analysis of structural schemes of technological process control systems; system-analog modeling of tillage control systems; structural analysis and synthesis of technological changes in agrophysical indicators of soil tillage. The main results are the structural diagram of the on-stream adaptive control system of the tillage unit for the requirements of precise agriculture; matrix diagram of the imaging and generalized system of equations of on-stream adaptive control of working bodies of tillage machines; system-analog model of the machine-tractor unit with the adaptive control system of working bodies.

Published: August 2023

The large-area intracontinental territory discussed in the article has similarities of physical-geographical and socio-demographic parameters, as well as the attitude to them as «resource colonies». The Siberian and Mongolian parts differ significantly politically, which affects the institutional and managerial characteristics and the formation of territorial nature protection, which is implemented in the activities of specially protected natural areas. The analysis of the existing systems of protected areas of Siberia and Mongolia, their structure, legislative bases is given. Maps of protected areas have been compiled, demonstrating their distribution in Mongolia and Siberia, based on statistical data as of 2021, previously published author's thematic atlases and field studies for the period 1999-2022. An aspect that brings the systems closer together is shown – the presence and planning of interstate transboundary protected natural territories. The conclusion is made about the existing more effective system of Mongolian protected areas.
Antihistamínicos como tratamiento del resfriado común
Authors: Roche García Marta , Labat Ponsá Álvaro
Published: August 2023

El resfriado común sigue siendo uno de los motivos de consulta más frecuente en Atención Primaria (AP). Supone un 11% de las consultas, aunque en gran parte de la población no precisa actuació sanitaria1.

No se dispone de ningún tratamiento curativo. El arsenal terapéutico, desde medidas higienicodietéticas hasta fármacos, es tan amplio como frecuente es esta patología2.

Cuando se pauta un tratamiento, debe valorarse siempre el objetivo de dicha prescripción. En muchos casos, sobre todo en los de patología aguda, la finalidad es reducir la duración o la intensidad de los síntomas.

Entre las medidas que la población general y muchos profesionales toman para tratar el resfriado común, se encuentran los antihistamínicos, en combinación con analgésicos o en monoterapia, para mejorar la rinorrea, la tos, los estornudos y la congestión nasal. Sin embargo, ¿son eficaces los antihistamínicos para reducir la duración y la intensidad de los síntomas?
A educação pensada a partir de cinco abordagens filosóficas: Positivismo, Fenomenologia, Marxismo, Existencialismo e Estruturalismo
Authors: Freitas Marcel Almeida , Sousa Lorena Rodrigues
Published: August 2023

Toda prática e toda teoria educacional trazem subjacentes um arcabouço filosófico basilar ou, mais comum, uma combinação de duas ou três correntes filosóficas. Isto posto, este artigo objetiva descrever cinco vertentes filosóficas importantes no pensamento ocidental e como elas embasam leituras, estudos e posturas pedagógicas contemporâneas. As construções teóricas aqui elaboradas são resultado de pesquisa bibliográfica que salienta os princípios centrais e alguns precursores de cada corrente, bem como suas limitações. Por fim, o texto apresenta algumas influências dessas abordagens sobre algumas práticas pedagógicas contemporâneas no Ocidente e, particularmente, no Brasil. Grosso modo, Positivismo foi crucial para o desenvolvimento da Pedagogia Tecnicista, a Fenomenologia para a Pedagogia Waldorf, o Marxismo para a Pedagogia Libertadora, o Existencialismo para a Escola Nova e o estruturalismo para o Construtivismo.
