Context: Dry Eye Disease is a multifaceted disorder caused by a variety of factors ranging from age to demographic profile. Radiation-induced dry eye disease is a relatively unexplored domain of this disease. Aim: To explore the various factors contributing to dry eye disease in patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck malignancies with a fixed dose and duration of radiotherapy. Settings and design: A cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary healthcare centre during a period of 1 year. Method and material: The study included 101 patients with head and neck malignancies who received a 60-Gray (Gy) dose of radiotherapy over a duration of 30 weeks. Patients were evaluated for signs and symptoms of dry eye on day 30 after completing their radiotherapy cycles using slit lamp biomicroscopy and various other tests for dry eye and compared with age, gender, location of malignancy, and adjunctive chemotherapy. Results: Out of a total of 101 patients, 45% had mild dry eye disease. 44–45% of mild dry eye disease was seen in the age groups of 20–50 and 51–80 years. The incidence of mild-to-moderate dry eye disease was almost similar (47% and 50 %) in both genders. The incidence of severe dry eye was seen in only 1% of patients. Dry eye disease was more severe in malignancies located closer to the orbit. The use of cisplatin as an adjunctive chemotherapy agent proved to be a risk factor for dry eye disease. Conclusion: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy is not enough to prevent the development of dry eye disease. A close and strict follow-up with an opthalmologist is essential for its prevention and early management.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy among patients undergoing pterygium excision and conjunctival autograft utilizing autologous blood or sutures. Methods: A randomized controlled trial of 1 year and 5 months, with 60 eyes from 60 patients having primary nasal pterygium. As indicated by inclusion criteria, they were chosen and randomized into two arms for conjunctival autograft: treated arm A (30) with autologous blood and arm B (30) with stitches (10-0 monofilament nylon). Preoperative and postoperative results were assessed and analyzed statistically. Follow-up was done at first, seventh, 1-month, 3-month, and half-year postoperative days. Resulting factors were total surgical time, postoperative comfort, graft stability, and recurrence. Results: 60 patients; mean age of 46.77 ± 7.04 (SD) in arm A (30) and 46.17±7.53 (SD) in arm B (30). In arm A, 22 males (73.3%) and 8 females (26.7%) where arm B had 20 males (66.7%) and 10 females (33.3%). Total surgical time in arm A was 24.73 ± 3.69 (SD) minutes and in arm B was 32.23 ± 4.59 (SD) minutes (p < 0.001). Follow-up at the 1st and 7th POD showed significant discomfort in arm B (mean ranks 41.82 and 40.62) compared to arm A (mean ranks 19.18 and 20.38), respectively (p < 0.001). At 1st POD, only 3 (10%) graft retractions in arm A. Within 6 months of follow-up, all grafts were stable; 1 (3.3%) recurrence and 1 (3.3%) granuloma in arm B only. Conclusion: In primary pterygium surgery, autologous blood showed excellent postoperative results with no recurrence and reduced surgical time. So, it seems to be an effective surgical means to treat primary pterygium.
Research Ethics and Church Interpreting
Authors: Downie Jonathan
Published: December 2023

This article applies recent discussions of ethical aspects of Interpreting Studies to research on church interpreting. Lessons from this case study are then applied to field research on interpreting more broadly, with an emphasis on the specific ethical and methodological issues that arise when examining client expectations of interpreters. It begins with an examination of the concepts of informed consent and reputational risk as explored in the work of Elisabet Tiselius (2021, 2019), as well as the concept of positionality in the work of Chris Mellinger (2020). These ethical concepts are then applied to a critical reading of the research that focuses on locating problems and challenges of church interpreting and evaluating the performance of church interpreters (hereafter called PCE). This research, which began with the work of Adewuni Salawu (2010), sees the goal of research as improving the quality of church interpreting by offering an evaluation of the practice, using criteria created by each researcher. This tends to lead to arguments that church interpreting should be professionalized via training existing interpreters or replacing them with professionals. It is argued that research on PCE is ethically questionable, in light of recent discussions of research ethics, due to the selection of data and the placement of the researcher as the sole arbiter of interpreting quality. These choices lead inexorably to reputational risk for research participants. The paper then reflects on how researchers could engage in the evaluation of church interpreting more helpfully, if important modifications are made to the PCE. This then allows the wider relevance of these concerns to field research in Interpreting Studies to be discussed with a special emphasis on research seeking to understand client expectations of interpreters. In all cases, it is argued that the views and interests of those experiencing and delivering the interpreting must be foregrounded, even at the expense of restricting the research that can take place. The results of refusing to do this will be the loss of access to research sites, broken trust with research participants, and ultimately, research that is theoretically and methodologically impoverished.
Media Memory Construction and Cultural Sustainability
Authors: Deng Lin , Yuan Shengchao , Yang Zheng
Published: December 2023

The sustainable development of culture is often regarded as the core of cultural security and uniqueness. The homogenization of culture brought about by globalization poses a threat to cultural diversity and sustainability as well as to the uniqueness of national cultures to varying degrees. In this context, pan-Asian countries have taken various measures to protect their cultural identity and avoid the breaking in cultural intergenerational inheritance. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea in 1992 and the establishment of South Korea’s “Building up the Nation with Culture” strategy in 1998, Korean culture has developed Hallyu, or the “Korean wave”, in China and other countries via K-dramas, K-pop, and K-movies, establishing a significant recognition of K-culture worldwide. Although memory can be both personal and social, shared cultural memory is a core element for integrating individuals. Compared with individual memory, media memory has more advantages in continuity and stability, and is almost naturally endowed with social and cultural significance. Therefore, constructing media memory to achieve sustainable cultural development is a feasible and reasonable method. This paper reviews the influence and evolution of K-culture in China, and takes K-content media and its acceptance in China as an example to explore the logic and significance of media memory construction of culture and enhancement of cultural influence, especially on foreign audiences. In addition, from the perspective of media memory construction, the paper examines the reasons for the gradual decline of K-culture’s influence in China, and argues that media memory construction is a practical way to sustain cultural influence, so as to form common experiences that relevant parties can learn from.

نمو الرمز في قصيدة الحمامة لمحمد عبد الباري
Authors: الهمامي علي بن أحمد طالب
Published: December 2023

تقارب هذه الدارسة نمو الرمز، وتؤكد على فاعليته، وتقف على دوره في تماسك النص المعنون بــ الحمامة للشاعر محمد عبدالباري. وذلك من خلال تأويل ما ظهر من رموز، وتتبع ما برز من إشارات تتعاضد في تقريب الرؤية - وإن كانت غامضة-، ونموها- وإن ظهرت مشتتة-، وحركتها - وإن بدت ساكنة.

وهذا التأويل لا يظهر من إشارة واحدة، أو رمز واحد؛ وإنما يظهر من مجموع هذه الإشارات والرموز التي اجتهدتُ في مقاربتها اللغوية والدلالية معا، وفي تتابعها الحضوري في النص.

وقد ألقت الدراسة الضوء على الرموز الناطقة كـ (الخضر، موسى، المسيح النفري)، والصامتة (الرهان، السفر، الأبواب، القداسة، الثمر، الحرام، الليل، الرصاصة، البيضاء، جبل الرماة)، بعد أن مهدت الطريق لذلك، وأبانت عن الدوافع والمفهوم، وحركة النص. وبينت أن الرمز ينمو من خلال تتابع الدلالة في كل رمز، وتأكيدها في كل إشارة

بدأ بالمرحلة الأولى وهي مرتبة التنقية التي نعني بها الفرز قبل البدء في عملية الموازنة، ثم مرحلة الدفع والجلب، ثم مرحلة الترجيح الثلاثي حسب المراتب الضروريات والحاجيات والتحسينات، ثم مرحلة الترجيح في الرتبة الواحدة، ثم النوع الواحد، ثم اختيار دفع المفاسد.

فهذه المراتب الست محاولة لضبط هذا الباب، وقد طبقت وفقها الكثير من النوازل الفقهية المعاصرة، والله نسأل أن يجعله خالصًا لوجهه الكريم.
The Control of reflectance and Transmittance of glass using External Magnetic Field and Sound Waves Through Electrical Permittivity
Authors: Eltahir Elharam Ali , Mohammed Faten Adel
Published: December 2023

Optical properties of matter are important in solar cells and smart windows design. The properties like reflection and transmition are very important in these applications. Therefore, this work is concerned with studying these properties using Maxwell’s equations. Using the expression of reflection and transmition coefficient useful relations were found. It was found that complete transmittance occurs when one applies a strong magnetic field. While applying an appropriate magnetic field leads to complete reflection and generation of amplified light in a direction normal to the incident one.

Also, the thermal radiation can be reflected completely by applying sound wave having a certain frequency.

Leibniz Felsefesi’nde Akılsal-Olgusal Hakikat Ayrımı
Authors: KARACA Aziz Murat , DOĞAN Sedat
Published: December 2023

Bu makale, felsefe tarihinin en önemli gündemlerinden biri olan, açık ve seçik bilgi için yöntem problemini Leibniz felsefesi açısından konu edinmektedir. Temel problemimiz, Leibniz’in; akılsal hakikat ve olgusal hakikat ayrımı üzerinden erken modern dönemin en önemli felsefi gündemi haline gelen yöntem problemine nasıl yaklaştığı üzerinedir. Bu dönemin yöntem arayışı içinde söz konusu edilebilecek yaklaşımların hemen hepsi ya birini tercih edip ötekini reddederek, ya aralarında bir hiyerarşi kurarak ya da bir tür sentez girişimiyle rasyonel olan ile ampirik olan veya a priori olan ile a posteriori olan arasında bir ayrım gözetmiştir. Leibniz ise problemi bir önermenin doğruluk ile ilişkisinin çözümlenebilmesi bakımından ele almış, söz konusu ayrımı bir çözüme kavuşturmak adına iki hakikat düzlemi tespit ederek aralarında bir derecelenme ilişkisi öngörmüştür. Bu düzlemlerden biri akılsal hakikat, diğeri olgusal hakikat düzlemidir. Akılsal hakikatlere ait önermeler kanıtlanabilirdir, fakat insan zihninin sınırlı analiz yetisinden dolayı olgusal hakikatlere ait önermeler kanıtlanamazdır. Leibniz bu durumu, akılsal önermeler ve olgusal önermelerin, farklı mantık ilkeleri üzerinden hakikat ile temas etmesine bağlar. Söz konusu ilkeler, çelişmezlik ilkesi ve yeter-sebep ilkesidir. Bu çalışma, Leibniz’in bu ayrımını, çağının koşullarıyla birlikte ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.
Thomas Hobbes’un Felsefesinde Din-Devlet İlişkisi: Din Devletinden Devlet Dinine
Authors: AKDEMİR Ferhat
Published: December 2023

Genel olarak dile getirirsek, Antik çağda doğaya, ortaçağlarda Tanrı’ya referansla temellendirilmeye çalışılan devleti, insanlar arasındaki rızaya dayalı bir sözleşme nosyonuyla gerekçelendirmesi nedeniyle Thomas Hobbes on yedinci yüzyılda modern devletin önemli teorisyenlerinden birisi olarak kabul edilir. Nasıl ki Descartes bireyi epistemik bir özne olarak düşüncesinin merkezine yerleştirmek suretiyle modern felsefenin kurucusu olarak kabul ediliyorsa, kanımızca Hobbes da tarafların rızasına dayalı sözleşme nosyonunu devletin temeline yerleştirmesi nedeniyle modern devletin kurucuları arasında sayılabilir. Ne var ki modern olarak nitelediğimiz bu devletin, belki de ortaçağlardan devraldığı miras nedeniyle olsa gerek en önemli sorunlarından birisi dinle devlet arasındaki ilişkinin ne ve nasıl olması gerektiğidir. Hem savunduğu materyalist ontoloji gereğince, hem de içinde yaşadığı toplumdaki dinsel çatışmalara çözüm bulma amacıyla Hobbes dinsel iktidarla siyasal iktidarı tek bir çatı altında toplamayı ve deyim yerindeyse dinsel iktidarı siyasal bütünün içerisinde eritmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Böylesi bir yaklaşım doğal olarak dinle devlet arasındaki çatışmayı ortadan kaldırmaktadır ama beraberinde birtakım sorunlar da getirmektedir. İşte biz de makalemizde, önce Hobbes’un bu şekilde tasvir ettiğimiz din devlet tasarımını ortaya koymayı ve ardından söz konusu sorunlara işaret ederek eleştirel bir değerlendirmesini yapmayı amaçlamaktayız.
John Stuart Mill’in Bilimsel Yöntem Kavrayışına Genel Bir Bakış
Authors: ÖZSOY SOMUNCUOĞLU Seda
Published: December 2023

Sağlam ve güvenilir bilgiye ulaşmak için nasıl bir bilimsel yöntemin kullanılması gerektiği üzerine oldukça derinlikli tartışmalar yürütülmüştür. Çünkü evreni anlamak ve açıklamak adına bilim insanlarının mutabakata vararak izledikleri bilimsel yöntem(ler), bilim olan ile bilim olmayanın ayrılması noktasında önemli görülmüştür. Bununla bağlantısında bilimsel araştırmalarda hangi yolun takip edileceğiyle ilgili dikkat çekici bir yaklaşım tarzı ortaya koyan düşünürlerden biri de John Stuart Mill olmuştur. Bu makalenin amacı, siyaset felsefesi alanında öne çıkmış olsa da birbirinden farklı disiplinlerde çalışmalar yapan Mill’in bilimsel yöntem hakkındaki görüşlerini ele almaktır. Ampirizm, natüralizm, romantizm, liberalizm ve faydacılığı bir potada eriten eklektik bir anlayışa sahip olduğu savlanabilecek olan Mill, mantıksal ispatın özünü oluştursa da yeni bir bilgi vermediğini ileri sürerek tümdengelim yerine tümevarımı koyar. Düşünme sürecini deneyimle başlatıp yine deneyimle sağlanan bilgilerin bir araya getirilmesiyle devam ettiren Mill, deney ve gözlem verileri aracılığıyla temellenmediği için tümdengelimi geçersiz sayar. Oysaki düşünür açısından mantıksal işleyişin dayalı olduğu tümevarım, doğadaki düzenliliğin ve nedenselliğin açıklanmasını, genel önermelerin elde edilmesini ve kanıtlanmasını sağlar. Bu makalede, John Stuart Mill’in tümevarımla ilgili farklı görüşleri önceleyen bilimsel yöntem kavrayışı irdelenmeye çalışılarak düşünürün diğer alanlarda etkileyici bir biçimde sunduğu fikirleri gibi epistemolojiyle ilgili olanların da ne denli önemli olduğuna dikkat çekilecektir.
Haraway’in Simpoiesis Kavramı ve Birlikte-Düşünme Pratikleri
Authors: AYAS ÖNOL Tuğba
Published: December 2023

Donna Haraway, dünyanın sonunun ümitsizlik içinde ilan edildiği yirmi birinci yüzyılda karşılaştığımız sorunlarla sanat, teknoloji ve bilimin eşsiz bir birleşimiyle başa çıkabileceğimizi iddia eder. Bunun için siborg, yoldaş türler ve sınırsız sayıda muhtelif melez ilişkilenmeler gibi kavram ve kavrayışlarla bize yaratıcılık ve veriyi daha önce yapılmamış bir biçimde ilişkilendirmeyi önerir. Bu yazıda kendisini özellikle çevrecilik sorunları, bitki ve hayvan refahı, doğa ile farklı insan kültürlerinin etkileşimleri konusunda faaliyet gösteren beşerî, sosyal ve doğa bilimlerinde yetenekli bir akademisyen olarak betimleyen Haraway’in insan merkezli yaşamın getirdiği sorunlara karşı önerdiği dünyayla birlikte-düşünmek nosyonu incelenecektir. Bu amaçla öncelikle Haraway’in Chthulusen ve simpoiesis kavrayışları Harawayci anlamda dünya üzerinde birlikte-düşünebilmenin olası koşulları olarak ele alınacaktır. Ardından Haraway’in sanat, bilim ve teknoloji iş birlikleri olarak nitelediği Kroşe Mercan Kayalıkları (Crochet Coral Reef) Projesi ve Never Alone adlı video oyunu, iki farklı birlikte-düşünme pratiği olarak dünyada birlikte iyileşebilmek ve Haraway için bir söylemsel inşa olan doğanın, rejenerasyonu fikrini daha iyi anlamak için tartışmaya açılacaktır.
Platon’da Ahlak ve Siyaset İlişkisi
Authors: ÇİLİNGİR Lokman
Published: December 2023

Platon’un siyasi görüşleri sıklıkla Devlet’te ortaya koyulan “filozof kral” önermesinin sınırları dahilinde yorumlanmakta ve buradan hareketle Platon, ütopik ve aynı zamanda totaliter bir yönetim taraftarı olarak suçlanmaktadır. Bu bakış açısı bir yandan Devlet’in asıl amacının birey ve toplumda adaletin tesis edilmesi ve siyasi etik temelde adil olmayan rejimlerin esaslı bir eleştirisinin yapılması olduğunu ihmal ederken, diğer yandan filozof kral önermesinin son dönem eserleri Devlet Adamı ve Yasalar’da revize edilmiş olmasını göz ardı etmektedir. Elbette Platon’un ahlak ve siyaset anlayışının sistematik bir bütünlükte olmayışı sözünü ettiğimiz hatalı yorumlara zemin hazırlamaktadır. Zira Platon’da henüz ne felsefenin teorik uğraşlarından bağımsız bir şekilde konumlandırılmış pratik bir saha ne de açık olarak sınırları birbirinden ayırt edilmiş etik-politik olgular alanı mevcuttur. Bu sebeple Platon’da ahlak ve siyaset ilişkisini araştırırken karşımıza çıkan en büyük güçlük, düşünürün yaşadığı dönemde bu iki sahanın nerdeyse tümüyle iç içe geçmiş olmasıdır. Öte yandan Platon’un pratik sahada (ahlaki ve siyasi olan arasında) bir ayrımı tercih etmeme ihtimalini de hesaba katmak zorundayız. İşte bu yazının öncellikli amacı Platon’un, başta adalet kavramında olmak üzere felsefi sisteminin temel kavram ve varsayımlarında ahlak ile siyaset arasında nasıl bir ilişki tesis ettiğini ortaya koymaktır.

Abstract: Ashy-faced Owl (Tyto glaucops) is a Hispaniolan endemic. Despite the fact that it is considered locally common and widespread throughout much of its range, little is known about several aspects of this species’ biology, including its nesting habits. Its nest sites are described in general terms—e.g., tree cavities, caves, ledges—but no specific details, such as nest mea­surements, height above ground, type of substrate, or other information have been reported. We provide the first description of an Ashy-faced Owl nest and the first record of this species nesting in an active Palmchat (Dulus dominicus) nest.

Keywords: Ashy-faced Owl, Dulus dominicus, nest, nesting behavior, Palmchat, Tyto glaucops

About the law-creating power of jurisprudence. New dimensions, new meanings
Authors: Ionescu Steluța
Published: December 2023

The present study takes up in its analysis an older concern. The “force” of jurisprudence to create law – whether formally recognised or not – is still a theme of scientific interest, especially from the perspective of the original meaning and substance of the notion of jurisprudence, and less from that which sees jurisprudence as a sum of solutions, an inventory of court practice, an indicator in a report with statistical content.

We are confident of the usefulness of our approach, based on a legal reality that needs to be constantly diagnosed, the study comes as an "update" of a documentation exercise that we carried out a decade and more ago, a context in which the concern for placing jurisprudence in the general picture of the sources that inspire law needed to be verified in a necessary relationship with the exercise of power, the quality of the act of justice being an important parameter for realistically measuring the state’s chances of being a state where law reigns.

Thus (briefly) reiterating some of the issues raised at the time[1], keeping the treatment established by the general theory of law and circumscribed to our legal reality, the study captures, in a sum of reflections, the recent line of thought on the question of whether jurisprudence, always called upon to keep up with the times, has or does not have the power to create law.

Detailed urban plan – between specific regulation and uncertain legal nature
Authors: Pătrăuş Ioniţa Maria
Published: December 2023

Spatial planning and town planning are regulated in the provisions of Law no. 350/2001 and have as their basic purpose the establishment at a centralized level of a unitary framework for the development and planning of all construction, reconstruction and restructuring works.

The detailed urban plan is a frequently encountered urban design tool in the field of territorial planning, and obtaining it is required in some situations precisely to respect the need for public safety and security, being a concrete application of the elements of the local urban planning regulation.

Although it is classified as a specific regulation, the detailed urban plan does not enjoy a coherent and predictable legal framework, the proof of this fact being the extensive jurisprudential discussions regarding the legal nature of this administrative act, and the objective of this paper is to analyze the legal incidents and national jurisprudence provisions to answer the question of whether the determination of the legal nature of the detailed urban plan can affect the imperative of public safety and security of legal relations.
Food fraud in the European Union
Authors: Popescu Getty Gabriela
Published: December 2023

EU legislation does not provide a definition of fraud in the agri-food chain.

Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1715 defines a "fraud notification" in IRASFF and therefore indicates the key elements to consider. In this sense, agri-food fraud is "a failure to comply with any suspected intentional action by businesses or natural persons, with the aim of deceiving buyers and obtaining an undue advantage from it, in violation of the rules referred to in Article 1 paragraph (2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625".

This study investigated the relationship between learning styles and academic
achievement in the field of cost accounting among students enrolled in Federal Universities
in the South-South region of Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive research design. This
study focuses on the examination of a population using a randomly selected sample. The
study's population comprises 556 final-year business education students from the
departments of business education of the four Federal Universities located in South-South
Nigeria, as selected for the research. A study was conducted in the South-South region of
Nigeria, focusing on final-year students in the business education departments of four
Federal Universities. The sample size consisted of 248 students, selected from a total
population of 556 students. The primary data were gathered through the utilisation of a
questionnaire. The statistical methodology employed to address the research inquiries and
evaluate the hypotheses was the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The present
study employed a purposive probability sampling method to select the participants, which
enabled the researcher to investigate the association between the learning style preference
of senior business education students in cost accounting and their academic performance in
the preceding semester's final examination in the same subject. There is a notable
correlation between the independent learning approach and students' academic achievement
in South-South Nigeria among other things. Based on the findings, the study recommended
that lecturers as well as students should give necessary considerations to the different
approaches available for learning.

Published: December 2023

A very long ago since the origin of human life, vision is one of the essential and useful sense organ which is beautiful but complex. Simply it is co-related with machines for example computers. Some years ago it was very difficult to interpret vision process with the help of machines. Computer vision is the concept taken from human vision working mechanism. Likewise human eyes capture image or video, send signals to brain to process and then interpret, like physiology of pathway of vision, similarly computer vision is also captures image or video through camera send input for processing through special software algorithm and interpreted. This concept some years ago was dream but thanks to innovation in computer field. Many of scientist tried to work on it but few are successful. This computer vision takes the help of artificial intelligence to train computers to understand and to interpret the actual visual area or field. Basic concept of artificial intelligence is an intelligence used by “trained” machines verses an intelligence used “naturally” by animals and humans. Various innovative technologies are used to give better results in any sector. One of the most famous technology is used now a days is artificial intelligence for example in healthcare sectors. These all AR, VR, AI are used for better and bright future. Like for example early diagnosis and bad prognosis can be detected in early phases of disease course. The base concept of all such newer technologies are higher sense organs of human being like again for example computer vision is the concept innovated on the base of visual pathway of human eye. All of these process of vision and its interpretation or understanding and replying according to diagnosis shows involvement of psychology. This psychological aspect is taken as toolkit by many of researchers and they are developing modern technologies such as computer vision, artificial intelligence. As all of these are modern technologies one has to use if wisely. It mostly depends upon the intentions of the person or industry or institution what net result they are giving to society.

Need and Value of Preserving Folklore
Authors: Agheez Obaidullah , Azizi Baryalay
Published: December 2023

Folklore forms a large part of society. The term folklore is a compound English word that has a Germanic root and is used to mean wisdom, intellect and knowledge of the people. Folklore plays a significant role and assists future generations in understanding the life, thoughts, traditions, social aspects, national values, histories, pride and other things of the people of their nation. As a result, it can be easily compared with the current situation and take advantage of early experiences, because folklore can provide considerable needed elements and materials with respect to social, political, economic and historical research. It is a fact that folklore has a fundamental value in the literary history, political history, economic aspects and artistic tastes of a language. The significance of collecting folklore is that it strengthens the spiritual and material relationship of the people associated with their lives and tells each other thoughts, feelings, emotions and aspirations.

Another importance of collecting folklore is that it can be used in the study of linguistics, sociology, literary studies, social relations, and human civilization. Researchers in this field are required to pay attention to the folkloric elements of the people. If not so, their work will be insignificant. If we look at the history of folklore, it is clear that when humans faced natural disasters, they did not have any scientific approach to investigate the respective events, but rather their own thoughts and experiences. Keeping in mind those assumptions and experiences, we can predict that folkloric suppositions and experiments were the data for present researchers, which were based on experiments and now based on scientific facts that show the worth of folklore in society.
