Published: June 2022

A study has been made on the Novel corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0N HCl. Commonly deterioration of steel is caused due to various environmental and other chemical factors. It is unavoidable but protectable using inhibition methods. Here the usual inhibitor is replaced by green inhibitors to evade toxicity, easy availability, and to minimize the waste. This work seeks out to analyze the dried leaves of Todalia Asiatica as an inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0N HCl.  The anticorrosive effectiveness of this inhibitor is studied by using non- electrochemical and electrochemical techniques. Non -electrochemical studies such as the effect of time (87.6%) and temperature (93.0%) at optimum concentration show the maximum inhibition efficiency of the inhibitor due to the formation of an inhibited layer by the inhibitor on the metal surface. Langmuir isotherm most closely fits into the info data obtained suggesting the physical adsorption between the extract and the mild steel substrate. Electrochemical such as potentiodynamic polarization studies proved that extract of Todalia Asiatica dried leaves is a cathodic type of inhibitor and 85.12% inhibition efficiency provided by the inhibitor. Charge Transfer Resistance (Rct) value increased and also Double-layer capacitance (Cdl) value decreases by EIS studies. The observed inhibitor efficiency at optimum inhibitor concentration is 84.05%. Surface and corrosion product Analysis (EDX/FTIR)  was carried out to determine the corrosion-inhibitive properties of the samples.

Published: June 2022

At present, the demand for nutraceuticals in lifestyle diseases is increasing due to its low side effects. Many of the vegetables which we include in the diet itself possess nutraceutical properties besides its culinary purposes. Many such plants are still unfamiliar to the common man due to lack of awareness about their therapeutic potentials. Solanum nigrum Linn. is a plant  which belongs to the family Solanacea and  possess nutraceutical properties. Nutrient retention of vegetables subjected to different cooking methods varies. The present study   aimed to analyse the nutrient content and estimate the percentage of nutrient retention in Solanum nigrum Linn. leaves and green berries subjected to different cooking methods. Fresh leaves and green berries were harvested from the green house in which cultivation was done and were cooked by boiling, pressure cooking, steaming, sautéing and microwave. Nutrients in both fresh and cooked leaves and berries were analyzed using standard procedures using Millipore water. The percentage of nutrient retention in each cooked sample was calculated using USDA true retention formula. Findings revealed that among the cooked leaves, the steamed leaves  possessed  more carbohydrates and proteins while in case of green berries, more crude fibre and carbohydrates was seen. Besides these, a significant amount of iron, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin C contents were present in steamed leaves and green berries when compared with other cooking methods. Similar results were observed in case of percentage of nutrient retention also. From the results, it can be concluded that, steaming is the best method of cooking to retain more nutrients  in Solanum nigrum Linn. leaves and green berries. Since the fresh leaves and green berries is normally not consumed by humans, steaming may be considered as the best method for human consumption to avail the maximum nutritional and therapeutic benefits of the leaves and green berries.

Published: June 2022

Microgreens, a trending food product is gaining popularity due to its properties viz flavour component, as a garnish and also high in phytonutrients. These are young, tender and edible cotyledonary leafy greens which requires 7-8 days to grow and are harvested after sprouting as shoot. It requires a protected environment and can be cultivated in any medium. They are a rich source of bioactive components. The shelf-life of microgreens is too short due to rapid deterioration. They can contribute, directly or indirectly, to preserve and improve the biodiversity and environmental sustainability, increase food and nutritional security. Soil cultivation is the commonly used cultivation technique. This method breaks down the soil crust, making easy penetration of water, nutrients, and air, in turn making it available for the plant. Hydroponics method provides healthy, clean and grit-free seedlings. It is a speedy process as all the nutrients required are directly absorbed by the plant. Coir pith cultivation enhances the nutrient content, water holding capacity, maintains moisture and reconditions the soil. Hence a comparative study of micronutrients and phytochemicals of the microgreens as well as of their cultivation and growth pattern was planned with the above background. The study provided the benefits for consumption of the microgreens which are less popular in Indian cuisine.

Russia is a multinational state, the multi-ethnicity of which continues to be one of its main features even in the XXI century. In modern conditions, the problem of interethnic relations is of particular relevance. The multi-ethnicity of the Russian Federation is an objective circumstance, which we have no right not to take into account, especially since the federalism of our country is based on the national-territorial principle. Each state has its own historical past, on which its content and form, internal and external political relations depend. Russia has a rich and instructive history, which not only affects the present, but also largely determines its future. The gathering of East Slavic tribes around the Kyiv center, the collapse of the single Old Russian state during the period of feudal fragmentation, the creation of Muscovy as a single centralized state, the formation of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, the demise of the USSR, and the formation of a peculiar post-Soviet history – all these are specific stages of the Russian past.

The article presents an overview of the implementation of national policy in the XX – early XXI century within the framework of the existence of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation. An appeal to the history of national relations in Russia and to the experience of Soviet national policy is very relevant in modern times. The national question naturally acted as one of the main problems in different historical epochs. In modern conditions, Russia is still a multi-ethnic state, uniting peoples of different language groups, cultures and confessions. The ethnic core of the country is the Russian people, constituting more than 80% of its population. At the same time, the territory of Russia remains the historical homeland of many peoples who have retained their ethnic identity and created the foundations of their statehood during the years of the Soviet period.
HUZEYFE B. YEMÂN’IN HZ. PEYGAMBERLE SIRDAŞLIĞI VE MÜNAFIKLARI BİLME MESELESİ
Authors: AHISKALI Muhammed
Published: June 2022

Huzeyfe b. Yemân (r.a.), Hz. Peygamber’in (a.s.) güzide sahabelerinden biriydi. Medine’de dünyaya gelmiştir. Künyesi Ebû Abdillâh, lakabı ise el-Yemân’dır. Hicretten önce Müslüman olan Hz. Huzeyfe, hicretten sonra Hz. Peygamber (a.s.) tarafından Ammâr b. Yâsir ile kardeş ilan edilmiş, Bedir savaşı hariç Hz. Peygamber ile birlikte tüm savaşlara iştirak etmiştir. Hz. Peygamberin yanından bir an bile ayrılmamış, ömrünü Kur’an’a, İslam’a ve Hz. Peygamber’e (a.s.) adamıştır. Hz. Peygamber’in kendisine verdiği vazifeleri yerine getirmiş, sevgisini kazanmış ve “Sâhibü’s-Sırr” unvanını almıştır.

Huzeyfe b. Yemân (r.a.) Hz. Peygamber döneminde olduğu gibi özellikle Hz. Ömer ve Hz. Osman döneminde de siyasî ve askerî alanda İslam devletine büyük hizmetlerde bulunmuştur. Kur’an’ın çoğaltılıp diyar-ı İslam’a gönderilmesini teklif etmiş, Kûfe şehrinin kurulmasında önemli bir rol oynamış, vermiş olduğu fetvalarla ve rivayet etmiş olduğu hadislerle İslam kültürünün dünyaya yayılmasında önemli bir oynamıştır.

Münafıklar hususunda ashabın müracaat mercii olmuş, fiten ve melâhim gibi konularda rivayet ilminin öncüsü olmuştur. Bu değerli sahabi 36 (656) yılında Hz. Osman’ın öldürülmesi ve Hz. Ali’ye biat edilmesinden kırk gün sonra Medâin’de vefat etmiştir.
Ribâ Kavramının Etimolojik Ve Semantik Analizi
Authors: EFE Aynur Gül
Published: June 2022

Bu makalede, geçmişten günümüze önemli bir kavram olan “ribâ”nın çok yönlü etimolojik (köken bilim) ve semantik (anlam bilim) incelemesi yapılarak, Kur’ân’ı Kerîm ile kazandığı özel anlam çerçevesindeki farklı alanlara evrilişi doğrultusunda analizler üzerinde durulacaktır. Ribâ kavramının gerek İslâm öncesi gerek İslam sonrası dönemlerde fazlaca kullanılan bir kavram oluşu, onu farklı perspektiflerden ele alma imkanı sağlamıştır. Bu sebeptendir ki ribânın çeşitli kaynaklarda birçok tanımı yapılmıştır. Ribâ kavramının etimolojik ve semantik analizi bakımından sağlam bir temele oturtulması için tarihi seyir içerisinde kullanıldığı anlamların göz önünde bulundurulması gerekir. Bunun bir sonucu olarak da hangi yönde bir anlam değişmesine uğradığı bu çalışmada mühim bir yeri kapsamaktadır. Bunun yanında ilgili kavramın Kur’ân’da geçen türevlerine bakmak da bu kabilden bir ehemmiyet taşır. Tüm bu fonksiyonlar göz önünde bulundurularak makalede öncelikle ribâ kavramının kökenine bağlı birtakım semantik tanımlar aktarılacak, akabinde Kur’ân’daki kullanım alanı ve bakış açısıyla yorumlanmaya çalışılacaktır.
ZEMAHŞERÎ VE TABÂTABÂÎ’NİN KUR’ÂN’DA MUHKEM VE MÜTEŞÂBİHLE İLGİLİ GÖRÜŞLERİNİN MUKAYESESİ
Authors: ÇATAL Şafak , KARA Mustafa
Published: June 2022

Bu makalede Zemahşerî ve Tabâtabâî’nin Kur’ân’da muhkem ve müteşâbihle ilgili görüşlerinin mukayesesi yapılmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, bu iki müfessirin muhkem ve müteşâbihle ilgili görüşlerini kıyaslamaktır. Araştırma, Zemahşerî ve Tabâtabâî’nin muhkem ve müteşâbih hakkındaki görüşleri ile sınırlı tutulmaktadır. Çalışma, nitel bilgi toplama yöntemlerinden yazılı doküman incelemesine dayanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, literatür taramasından elde edilen veriler, bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla metin analizine tabi tutularak değerlendirilmektedir.

Muhkem, “anlaşılmasına yönelik hiçbir şüphe olmayan ve herhangi bir açıklamaya gerek kalmadan kolaylıkla anlaşılan söz” demektir. Müteşâbih ise “birden fazla manaya ihtimali olan ve anlamlarını tespit etmek için başka karinelere ihtiyaç duyulan ifade” anlamına gelmektedir.

Kur’ân’da muhkem ve müteşâbih kavramlarına işaret eden üç âyet bulunmaktadır. Bu çerçevede Âl-i ‘Imrân 3/7. âyet, Kur’ân âyetlerinin muhkem ve müteşâbih olmak üzere ikiye ayrıldığını; Zümer 39/23. âyet, Kur’an’ın müteşâbih bir kitap olduğunu; Hûd 11/1. âyet ise Kur’an âyetlerinin muhkem kılındığını bildirmektedir.

Mu‘tezile ekolüne mensup bir âlim olan Zemahşerî ve Îran’da Şiî kültürü ile yetişmiş bir müfessir olan Tabâtabâî, tefsirlerinde Kur’ân’da muhkem ve müteşabihi konu edinen âyetleri yorumlamışlardır. Bu doğrultuda sözü edilen müfessirlerin görüşlerinde “müteşâbih âyetlerin râsih kimselerce muhkem âyetler ışığında te’vîl edilebileceği” konusunda benzerlik söz konusu iken, “râsih kimselerin kimler olduğu” noktasında farklılık vardır. Bu bağlamda Zemahşerî’ye göre râsih kimselerden maksat “ilimde derinlik kazanmış kişilerdir.” Tabâtabâî ise râsih kimselerden kastın “ehl-i beyt imamları ile masum imamlar” olduğunu dile getirmektedir. Bu görüş farklılığında, mezhep mensubiyetinin etkili olduğu söylenebilir.
Yaşar Kemal’in “Gülizarlan Ninesi” Öyküsünde Ekofeminist Düşünce
Authors: YİĞİTLER Şener Şükrü
Published: June 2022

Türk edebiyatının en önemli isimlerinden Yaşar Kemal roman sanatına damgasını vurmuş bir yazardır. Başta roman olmak üzere, deneme, derleme, röportaj, şiir ve çevirinin yanı sıra öyküler de kaleme alan yazar, edebiyat sanatına ilk adımını attığı öykü türündeki eserlerini Sarı Sıcak (1952) adlı kitapta yayımlar. Bu türde vermeye devam ettiği eserlerini Bütün Hikâyeler (1967) adıyla tekrar bir araya toplayan yazar o tarihten sonra roman sanatına ağırlık verir ve yeni öykülerini kitaplarına almaz. Kumbara adlı çocuk dergisinin 1978 tarihli birinci sayısında yer alan “Gülizarlan Ninesi” adlı öyküsü, yazarın kitaplarına almadığı, bugün de başka bir yerde yayımlanmamış ve özellikle çocuklar için kaleme alınmasıyla ilgi çeken, yetkin bir öyküdür. Anne ve babasından uzakta, ninesiyle beraber yaşayan Gülizar adlı küçük bir kızın hayatının ve geçimlerini sağlamak üzere ormana çiçek toplamak için gittiği bir günün hikâyesinin anlatıldığı bu öyküde çevre duyarlığı, doğa bilinci ve kadının bağımsızlığına dair bir hikâye ve bütün bunları iç içe geçiren özgün bir yaklaşım okurun dikkatini çeker. Bu incelemede, o yıllarda henüz Avrupa’da ilk kez duyulmaya başlayan ekofeminist düşüncenin estetiğini veren Yaşar Kemal’in hiçbir kitabında yayımlanmamış “Gülizarlan Ninesi” adlı öyküsü ekofeminist düşünce çerçevesinden ele alınmıştır.

Unseen Pictures: Plight of the Parents of Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSENs) In Distance Learning
Authors:   University of Perpetual Help System Laguna, Binan City, Laguna
Published: June 2022

This study utilized the phenomenological research design which aimed to understand the lived experiences of the parents of the learners with special educational needs in distance learning at Pulo National High School- Special Education (SPED) Center. The researcher utilized the framework of Moustakas (1994) which involves bracketing, horizontalization, theme clustering, textural description, structural description, and essence. With the in-depth analysis of the significant statements from the verbatim transcriptions, nine (9) themes emerged. The parents of learners with special educational needs in the implementation of distance learning experienced challenges that include, the pros and cons of distance learning, the need for professional teachers’ intervention, implications on learners’ behavior, competing demands of being a parent and a learning facilitator and learning loss and social gaps. To be able to cope with their experiences for having children with special needs in distance learning , parents must have strong parental involvement and family support system, positive mindset, emotional stability, and strong faith as well as teachers who possessed commitment and compassion. The findings implied that experiences in distance learning of the parents of the learners with educational needs were truly challenging which entails the difficulties and opportunities of distance learning, the need to have professional experts, social and behavioral implications of distance learning to their children, different roles they played in the education of their children and the trouble of thought of the development of the students. Given the challenges that parents experienced in distance learning, the chance of overcoming the struggles is possible through the help and support of the family members, and teachers, by being optimistic, strong, and by being faithful to God.
