Authors: Hasegawa Hirotaka , Kondo Kenji , Ishihara Sayaka , Shinya Yuki , Kiyofuji Satoshi , Umekawa Motoyuki , Saito Nobuhito
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Recent anatomical studies have reported the feasibility of the endoscopic endonasal approach to the middle fossa. However, its clinical applicability has been discussed in only a few cases. This article describes the case of a middle fossa epidural abscess successfully drained through a fully endoscopic endonasal corridor and discusses the key technical points.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe an 8-year-old boy who presented with worsening headache, fatigue, emesis, and fever and was diagnosed with a left middle fossa epidural abscess associated with sphenoid sinusitis. Following endoscopic sinus surgery performed by a rhinologist, the middle fossa was accessed by removing the maxillary strut through the transmaxillary transpterygoid corridor. Complete drainage of the abscess was confirmed on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging. The patient tolerated the surgery without neurological deficit and demonstrated prompt symptom improvement. He was discharged home after completing a 6-week course of antibiotic therapy and remained free from recurrence at 1 year following surgery.

LESSONS

The endoscopic endonasal approach may be applicable to a middle fossa epidural abscess, resulting in prompt clinical improvement. The maxillary strut is a key structure for entering the middle fossa.

O širenju preobilja (dubletnosti) u genitivu množine imenica e‑sklonidbe s višesuglasničkim završetkom osnove
Authors: Polančec Jurica , Bošnjak Botica Tomislava
Published: August 2024

Rad prikazuje širenje preobilja (dubletnosti) u genitivu množine imenica ženskoga roda e‑sklonidbe s višesuglasničkim završetkom osnove u hrvatskom jeziku. Te se imenice u genitivu množine pojavljuju u dvama ili trima oblicima (žalba: žalbā/žalbī, pogreška: pogrešākā/pogreškā/pogreškī). Ukratko se opisuje pojava nastavka ‑ā i epenteza koja ga prati te naknadni nestanak epenteze. Najveći je dio rada posvećen postanku i širenju novoga nastavka ‑ī. Pokazuje se da je u ranim fazama razvitka standardnoga jezika (18. i 19. st.) taj nastavak već raširen, ali samo u sjevernom dijelu novoštokavskoga teritorija. U južnim je govorima odsutan i takvo se stanje održalo praktički do danas. Razmatra se dominacija nastavka ­‑ī u suvremenom jeziku te se uzroci za to stanje dijelom pronalaze i u raširenosti istoga nastavka u kajkavskom narječju.
Kollokationen mit einem verb als kollokator in der rechtssprache
Authors: Kordić Ljubica , Berkec Hannah Martina
Published: August 2024

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Kollokationen mit einem verbalen Kollokator in deutscher Rechtssprache untersucht. Als Korpus dienen Beispiele der Kollokationen, die dem geltenden Bayrischen Hochschulgesetz (BayHSchG) entnommen sind. Das Ziel der Untersuchung ist es, den metaphorischen Charakter dieser Gruppe von Kollokationen sowie ihre morphosyntaktischen und semantischen Besonderheiten im Bereich Jura zu bestimmen und sie mit ihren kroatischen Entsprechungen zu vergleichen. Die gesammelten Belege werden qualitativ und quantitativ analysiert, um festzustellen, welche Kollokationen und welche Verben als Kollokatoren im konkreten Gesetzestext am häufigsten vorkommen und welche morphosyntaktischen und semantischen Besonderheiten sie aufweisen. Am Ende wird die Gebräuchlichkeit einzelner Verben als Kollokatoren in der deutschen und kroatischen Rechtssprache verglichen. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse bestätigen, dass metaphorische und idiomatische Ausdrücke kulturbedingt sind und als solche oft unterschiedliche morphosyntaktische und sematische Realisierungen in den beiden Sprachen haben. Deswegen stellen diese Konstrukte eine Herausforderung beim Übersetzen dar, insbesondere bei den Jurastudenten mit unzureichenden Deutschkenntnissen, die sich in ihrem Studium und später in ihrem professionellen Leben mit Rechtstexten in deutsche Sprache auseinandersetzen. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sollen Aufschluss über die Schwierigkeiten geben, auf die kroatische Juristen, Jurastudenten, oder unerfahrene Gerichtsdolmetscher und Übersetzer beim Verständniss und Übersetzen der metaphorischen Kollokationen mit einem verbalen Kollokator stoßen.
Skažem tak: Discourse markers originating from verbs of speech in Russian
Authors: Podlesskaya Vera I.
Published: August 2024

Based on data from the Russian National Corpus, first and foremost, from its multimedia corpus, we address two members of the family of discourse markers developed from the finite form of the verb of speech skažem (the first person plural present tense form of the verb ‘say’): isolated skažem and its combinations with an adverb or a pronominal adverb such as skažem prjamo ‘let’s put it bluntly’, skažem tak ‘let’s put it this way’, etc. We show that these markers demonstrate a typical pragmaticalization trajectory: unlike the original speech verb, they do not refer to a speech event, their main function is to express a fuzzy nomination, or hedging, i.e., these markers are used when the speaker disclaims responsibility for the possible inaccuracy of the propositional content or of the nomination used in relation to the fixed propositional content. We demonstrate the main shifts in the distribution of these markers, which occur due to the fact that they fall out of the rigid clausal structure and acquire the status of an operator which scopes over discourse segments of various (potentially any) length. We study the main prosodic properties of these markers instrumentally and perceptually and, in addition, discuss the use of markers of this family together with other means of signaling that the speaker needs additional efforts in choosing an adequate expression. These can be other lexical markers of fuzzy nomination, lexical and prosodic indicators of an open list, self-corrections, signals of hesitation (filled pauses, non-phonological lengthening of sounds), etc. The results obtained convincingly show: (1) that even within the same family of markers, the shift from a unit with propositional meaning to a discourse marker can follow different trajectories and lead to larger or smaller shifts in meaning and form; and (2) that the study of discourse markers that uses data on prosody and such specific phenomena of oral discourse as speech disfluencies makes it possible to get more comprehensive lexicographic portraits of single units and their families.
The alternation of stem-internal a and o and pragmatic mechanisms of alternant distribution
Authors: Krongauz Maxim A.
Published: August 2024

The article considers the alternation of letters a and o in the stem, missing in school and academic grammars, for example, shpargalka — ​shpora, boshka — ​boshki, simpatichnyj — ​simpotnyj, platit’ — ​plotit, nalit’ — ​nolito. We attempt to combine a number of heterogeneous (including unique) phenomena within the framework of a special alternation, and more specifically, the transition from a to o in an uncodified area of the language: in professional and youth jargons, popular language, emphatically colloquial speech. Thus, one can speak of relatively regular alternations of a and o at the junction of literary and non-literary language. The letter o conveys the phoneme [o], which appears under stress in not quite normative or informal word forms and words (colloquial, slang, etc.), that is, it emphasizes this informality of a word and often also its expressiveness.
Defining pronominal series: demonstratives in West Circassian
Authors: Lander Yury A. , Unarokova Shamset Sh.
Published: August 2024

We discuss the concept of “pronominal series” and some principles that can be used for distinguishing pronominal series from similar phenomena. These principles are further applied to demonstratives in West Circassian (a polysynthetic language of the West Caucasian family) as represented in a large corpus including texts of various genres. We show that West Circassian displays at least eleven series of demonstratives but also make additional observations on how the principles defining pronominal series can be used in complex cases.

Published: August 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of the Mind Mapping technique in enhancing students' writing abilities and their active participation in learning activities, specifically in Class X Multimedia of SMKN 1 Dedai. Drawing on various theories of writing instruction and motivation, as well as the benefits of Mind Mapping, the research aims to address students' writing challenges through innovative teaching methodologies.Utilizing Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the methodological framework, the study follows a four-step cycle: Planning, Action, Observing, and Reflecting. Researchers actively engage in teaching writing procedures using the Mind Mapping technique, while observing student interactions and responses in the classroom. Data collection involves observations, tests, field notes, and interviews conducted across two research cycles.The findings reveal significant improvements in student engagement and writing proficiency throughout the research process. Despite initial challenges, such as low motivation and participation, the implementation of the Mind Mapping technique leads to notable enhancements in student participation rates, writing skills, and overall learning experiences.Analysis of data from both cycles demonstrates a marked increase in student participation, with average scores rising from 69.21% to 82.89%. Moreover, test results indicate substantial advancements in students' writing proficiency, particularly in content, organization, language use, vocabulary, and mechanics. This study underscores the importance of innovative teaching methodologies, such as Mind Mapping, in fostering student engagement and improving learning outcomes. By actively integrating such techniques into classroom instruction, educators can create dynamic learning environments conducive to student participation and skill development. Keywords: Mind mapping technique, teaching writing, procedure text
What We Know about Student Families: A Sociological Analysis
Authors: Vilkova K. A. , Gruzdev I. A. , Shmeleva E. D. , Tarasova E. A. , Startsev S. V.
Published: August 2024

This study analyzes the phenomenon of student parents in Russia. The authors examine the demographic context, the characteristics of student parents, and their experience of combining study and parenthood. The study is based on data from the longitudinal project “Trajectories in Education and Profession” and in-depth interviews with student mothers. The results show that student families are relatively rare, which is in line with the general trend of increasing age of marriage and childbearing. Nevertheless, most students plan to start a family in the future. Students from families with lower socioeconomic background are more likely to start families during their studies. Analysis of the interviews revealed the main strategies for combining study and motherhood, including reorganization of daily routines, sabbaticals, and distance learning. The importance of support from partners and relatives was also noted. Student mothers expressed a demand for more flexible study formats, material support, and infrastructure development (e.g. kindergartens at universities). The authors conclude that an individualized approach to supporting student families is needed, given their rarity and diversity of needs. Directions for further research are suggested, including the study of social conditions influencing the age of family formation, analysis of family plans of older undergraduate and graduate students, and a more detailed study of the typology and daily life of student families.

Published: August 2024

This study examines the influence of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical properties of SiO2-loaded epoxy-polylactic acid (PLA) composites. Epoxy and PLA were mixed to form the matrix with fillers, including SiO2, GNPs, and MWCNTs. The nanocomposites were prepared with a hybrid filler combination (SiO2/GNPs and SiO2/MWCNTs) with filler concentrations ranging from 0.1 – 0.4 wt. %. The composites were prepared using a combination of bath sonication and hand-casting techniques. They are characterized using tensile, bending impact, and fracture tests. The observed characteristics of GNP/SiO2 and MWCNTs/SiO2-loaded nanocomposites exhibited significant differences. Compared to the unmodified epoxy-PLA composite, incorporating 0.1 wt% of GNP/SiO2 filler improved tensile flexural and impact strength. Conversely, adding 0.4 wt% of MWCNTs/SiO2 filler enhances tensile, flexural, and impact strength. The dispersion mechanism of nanofillers was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) on fracture surfaces obtained from tensile tests. An ANSYS workbench was used to simulate the impact of filler concentration on nanocomposites' tensile and bending strength, and a numerical analysis was performed.

Authors: Pohling Andrea
Published: August 2024

Vor dem Hintergrund einer inhaltsanalytischen Betrachtung von diskursiven Ereignissen zum Thema der sexuellen Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche beschäftigt sich der Beitrag mit dem Thema der Aufarbeitung sexueller Gewalt als gesellschaftspolitischem Bildungsprozess in Deutschland. Er fokussiert öffentlich-mediale sowie wissenschaftliche diskursive Ereignisse sexualisierter Gewalt seit Beginn der 1900er-Jahre in Deutschland und entwirft einen skizzenhaften Einblick in zentrale Themenfelder und sich abzeichnende Wandlungsprozesse. Er zielt darauf, Besonderheiten des Diskurses um sexuelle Gewalt herauszuarbeiten, und schlägt eine Unterteilung in vier zentrale Diskursstränge vor. Es wird sich dabei auch einer Antwort auf die Frage angenähert, warum dem Jahr 2010 im Hinblick auf Aufarbeitung zentrale Bedeutung zukommt.
Forschende in der Pflicht? Erwartungen frühpädagogischer Fachkräfte an die Forschung im Arbeitsfeld. Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Studie
Authors: Schelle Regine
Published: August 2024

Forschende sehen sich nicht nur im Arbeitsfeld der Kindertagesbetreuung veränderten Erwartungen gegenüber. Wissenschaftler:innen sollen empirisches Wissen generieren und darüber die Öffentlichkeit informieren. Überdies sollen sie sich für einen nachhaltigen Transfer der Erkenntnisse sowie für eine Partizipation der Öffentlichkeit an wissenschaftlichen Prozessen einsetzen und damit eine intensive Kooperation mit Nicht-Wissenschaftler:innen anstreben. Gruppendiskussionen mit Teams in Kindertageseinrichtungen zeigen, dass sich diese Perspektive auch bei pädagogischen Fachkräften in Kindertageseinrichtungen findet, wenn sie der Forschung eine Funktion zuweisen und Erwartungen an sie formulieren. Forschungsergebnisse sollen aus ihrer Sicht nachhaltige und praxisnahe Effekte haben, sowohl die Öffentlichkeit als auch Eltern erreichen und insbesondere die Arbeitssituation in den Einrichtungen verbessern. Diese Erwartungen an die Reichweite empirischer Erkenntnisse sowie an Engagement von Wissenschaftler:innen im System der Frühen Bildung bleiben angesichts professioneller Identitäten und knapper Ressourcen kritisch zu diskutieren.
„Ich finde, die sollten die Schulen zu machen, ich schreib jetzt sonst nen Brief an den Bundestag“. Der Umgang mit den Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen und die politische Sozialisation Jugendlicher
Authors: Schott Marco , Sauermann Pia , Häring Johanna , Weigelt Ina
Published: August 2024

Insbesondere in den ersten beiden Jahren der Covid-19-Pandemie haben die Bundes- sowie die Länderregierungen in Deutschland in kurzen Abständen Maßnahmen zu deren Eindämmung beschlossen. Jugendliche waren in hohem Maße von den Einschränkungen betroffen. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie die Jugendlichen mit diesen Einschränkungen umgegangen sind und stellt erste Überlegungen an, ob diese Erfahrungen, die die Jugendlichen im Verlauf der Pandemie mit politischen Entscheidungen gemacht haben, eine Bedeutung für ihre politische Sozialisation haben. Basierend auf biographisch-narrativen Interviews mit 12- bis 13-jährigen Jugendlichen wurden Erzählungen zum Erleben der Pandemie untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass Jugendliche hauptsächlich von ihrem Umgang mit den Maßnahmen berichten, wobei sich drei Typen bilden lassen, die sich vor allem hinsichtlich ihrer Eigenaktivität (z. B. bei der Informationssuche) und den subjektiven Leiderfahrungen unterscheiden. Dabei können diese Erfahrungen den Prozess der politischen Sozialisation mit Blick auf die Entwicklung politischen Interesses, politischer Involvierung und politischer Selbstwirksamkeit möglicherweise längerfristig prägen.
Concentrations of Polychlorinated Naphthalenes in Food and Human Dietary Exposure: A Review of the Scientific Literature
Authors: Domingo Jose L
Published: August 2024

In general, for most environmental persistent organic pollutants (POPs), dietary intake is the main way of exposure. Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are a family of two-ringed aromatic compounds that are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, being structurally similar to PCDD/Fs and PCBs. Although the production and use of PCNs were banned in the USA and Europe some decades ago, due to their persistent properties, PCNs remain present in the environment, able to enter the food chain. The present paper was aimed at reviewing the results of the studies focused on determining the levels of PCNs in foods. The human dietary intake of these compounds was also reviewed, with the few available data. The information on the levels of PCNs in foodstuffs is currently more abundant than that found in a previous review (Domingo, 2004). Since then, China is the country that has contributed the greatest number of studies. The results of most surveys seem to suggest that human health risks of PCNs due to dietary exposure should not be worrying. However, because of the important differences in the methodology of the published studies, the comparison of the results is not easy, although there seems to be a general trend towards a decrease in the levels of PCNs in foods. In the next few years, a continued reduction of the environmental levels of PCNs is still expected. Therefore, a direct repercussion of the concentrations of these pollutants in foodstuffs must be also noted. Consequently, a reduction of the dietary exposure to PCNs should be expected. Anyway, to establish the tolerable dietary intake of PCNs is a key issue for assessing human health risks of these pollutants.

Published: August 2024

Background

After suffering from COVID-19, a large number of patients need respiratory rehabilitation. One of the methods of rehabilitation is inhalation with salt aerosols.

Objective

Our work aimed to study the effectiveness of inhalations of a dry aerosol of salt precipitated from the mineral water of the “Teplitsa multidisciplinary sanatorium”, Transcarpathian region of Ukraine.

Material and Methods

30 male patients were examined after suffering from COVID-19. We formed two groups of
patients, control and main, 15 people each. Patients in the control group received inhalation with a dry aerosol of table salt of the “Aero-M-sol”. In contrast, patients in the main group received a course of inhalations with a dry aerosol of salt precipitated from the mineral water.

Results and discussion

Under the influence of the rehabilitation complex in both groups, there is a performance
improvement but significant changes are observed only in patients of the main group. The indicator Forced Vital Сapacity1 increased to the greatest extent, which after rehabilitation is significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). As a result, the Tiffeneau index significantly increases in the main group compared to the control group, reaching normal values. The main effect is associated with a decrease in obstructive complications of the respiratory tract as a result of a decrease in inflammation. The use of iodine-bromine brines (as in our case) for inhalation in the treatment of respiratory diseases has been proven to be effective, with systemic effects in the form of decreased IgE and increased IgA in the blood serum having been noticed.

Conclusions

The use of haloinhalations with MW salts in the rehabilitation of patients after suffering from COVID-19 disease significantly improves the clinical condition of convalescents.
Frequency of consumption of selected foods by people with acne vulgaris
Authors: Żygało Anna , Całyniuk Beata
Published: August 2024

Background

Acne is an inflammatory disease affecting adolescents during puberty, but also adults. Determinants of acne may include genetic predisposition as well as diet. The Western diet is rich in processed products with low nutrient density, resulting in a lack of supply of many essential minerals that are needed for the body to function properly.

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess the dietary behaviour of people with acne vulgaris and respondents’ selfassessment of the severity of acne lesions after consumption of selected products.

Material and Methods

The study was carried out by means of an online, self-administered questionnaire, a link to
which was inserted in group of people struggling with acne on a social network.

Results

More than half of the respondents said that acne was present in their parents. Almost 91% of the women surveyed said that acne lesions were exacerbated before menstruation. Respondents were most often treated by a dermatologist. The most common foods consumed by the respondents were milk and milk products and wheat bread. The least frequently consumed products were: sultanas, cornflakes, alcohol and fizzy drinks. Statistical analysis showed a strong strength of association between consumption of white rice, fast food, omega-6-rich oils on the severity of acne lesions, while sultana consumption was very strong correlated. In addition, the study showed an almost certain correlation regarding the consumption of white flour pasta on acne lesions.

Conclusions

Statistical analysis showed a relationship between the consumption of white rice, white flour pasta, fast food products, sultanas, oils rich in omega-6 fats and the exacerbation of acne lesions.
Polygamy and Nikah Sirri Culture of Agen Thrifting Families in Teluk Nibung: An Islamic Family Law Perspective
Authors: Mardiana Juli , Siddiq Turnip Ibnu Radwan , Haekal Fikri
Published: August 2024

Ideally, Islamic family law regulates polygamy with clear provisions to ensure justice and the welfare of all parties involved. In reality, within the culture of Agen Thrifting families in Teluk Nibung, Tanjung Balai, polygamy and nikah sirri (unregistered marriages) are often adopted as strategies to circumvent stringent legal regulations, creating issues related to legal status and family rights. This study aims to examine the practices of polygamy and nikah sirri in the context of Agen Thrifting families, focusing on how these practices interact with Islamic family law provisions. This article is categorized as qualitative field research. The methodology employed is a juridical-empirical approach, combining legal analysis with direct field observations. The research findings indicate that the culture of polygamy among Agen Thrifting families is often accompanied by nikah sirri as an effort to evade strict legal regulations. This results in negative impacts, including family separation and unclear status of children. Such practices undermine the principles of Islamic family law, particularly the assurance of family rights protection and legal recognition in accordance with justice principles.

Authors: Trivedi Subhashini , Mishra Prakash Chandra
Published: August 2024

Extrahepatic portal-vein obstruction (EHPVO) presents significant challenges in pregnancy due to the increased risk of variceal bleeding driven by hemodynamic changes. This prospective observational study at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Rewa, included 60 pregnant women diagnosed with EHPVO, monitored over a year to assess the efficacy of management strategies and pregnancy outcomes. Results showed that 20% of the women experienced variceal bleeding, predominantly in the third trimester. Prophylactic interventions such as endoscopic variceal ligation were implemented in 50% of the cases, and 40% of the participants received non-selective beta-blockers. The majority of pregnancies (95%) were carried to term without any maternal fatalities, and half of the deliveries were performed via cesarean section due to obstetric reasons. These findings indicate that with proactive and combined endoscopic and pharmacological management, EHPVO in pregnant women can be effectively controlled, leading to positive maternal and fetal outcomes. The study underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach in the management of these high-risk pregnancies.

This article examines the factors driving the development of gastronomic tourism as a contemporary and popular travel trend. The study identifies two primary groups of factors – general and specific – and provides their characteristics. Based on the analysis of these factors and their identified impact, the prerequisites for the development of gastronomic tourism are highlighted. The combination of these factors and prerequisites creates favorable conditions for the development and implementation of this type of tourism, popularization of ethnic cuisines and local features, as well as the improvement of dishes through competition under the influence of modern culinary art and consumer preferences. It is established that the set of factors and prerequisites is interconnected and integral, characterized by their mutual influence, however, in the work, they are ordered through classification and cultural and social factors, economic, infrastructural factors, the uniqueness of local cuisine, and the importance of state support are highlighted – all this allows for effective management of these prerequisites for the development of gastronomic tourism and building its strategy of popularization and formation. It is proven that there are also factors that influence the choice of a gastronomic destination, including: affordability, geographical location, climatic conditions, safety level, language barriers, personal interests, etc. In addition, the article presents a characterization of the target audience of gastrotours, namely, groups (types) of gastrotourists are identified: gourmets and food lovers, connoisseurs of culture and history, tourists traveling with family or friends, bloggers and influencers, health-conscious tourists, tourists seeking new experiences. Such a typological structuring will allow for more effective formation of marketing policy and taking into account all the features of gastronomic tourism and consumer preferences.

WESTERN’E JAPONYA’DAN BİR BAKIŞ: SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO
Authors: Çelik Volkan
Published: August 2024

Hollywood endüstrisi, klasik anlatı ve tür sineması gibi kalıplaşmış anlatı yöntemleri ile hem kendi üretim standardını oluşturup hem de dünya sinemasını etkilemiştir. Bu etkinin çarpıcı örneklerinden birisini ise aslında yerel bir anlatı olan Western filmleri oluşturur. Vahşi Batı ve kovboy miti üzerine kurulan bu tür, ABD sınırlarını aşarak tüm dünyada yeniden ve yeniden üretilmiştir. Özellikle İtalyan sineması, Spagetti Western olarak anılan filmleri ile ön plana çıkmıştır. Ancak İngiltere’den Fransa’ya, İspanya’dan Avustralya’ya ve Türkiye’ye kadar başka birçok ülkede de Western örnekleri görülmektedir. Bu makale ise Japon sinemasından verilen bir Western örneğini inceleme konusu yapmıştır; Sukiyaki Western Django (2007). Aslında bu film, bir “Western üzerine Western üzerine Western” olarak da adlandırılabilir çünkü Hollywood Western kodları ile üretilmiş Django (1966) adlı Spagetti Western filminin bir yeniden üretimidir. Sukiyaki Western Django (2007), hem Django (1966) ile karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde değerlendirilerek hem de Hollywood Western anlatı öğeleri (tema, karakter ve ikonografi gibi) ile incelenerek bir film eleştirisine tabi tutulmuştur. Sonuç olarak makaleye konu olan filmin hem bir yorumlayarak uyarlama film örneği hem de Western anlatısına uyan ancak Japonya’dan gelen bir örnek olarak da kendi kültürünü türe adapte eden bir film olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. Yönetmen Takashi Miike, türün kodlarını başarılı bir şekilde kullanıp uyarlama yaptığı orijinal filmin iskeletine sadık kalırken kendi tarih ve kültüründen beslenerek de özgün bir Western filmi, bir Sukiyaki Western filmi yaratmıştır.

Published: August 2024

The application of predicting the likelihood of blood group inheritance in children based on allele combinations from parents is becoming increasingly relevant. Understanding the combination of alleles that may appear in offspring can provide better insight for individuals and couples in planning families. The existence of an application to predict a child's blood type by using program development to form a family tree based on blood type can provide a clear visual picture of the inheritance of blood type from generation to generation. The purpose of this research is to identify allelic combinations of certain genes that affect a person's blood type and analyze how genetic inheritance occurs from parents to children. This study proves that we can see the likelihood of blood type inheritance of a child by looking at the allele combinations of both parents. This concept can be explained using the concept of a family tree (Tree). By using the Tree concept, we can easily visualize the inheritance of blood groups based on alleles, and facilitate the understanding of the formation of allele combinations that occur in the genetic inheritance process.

Like other AI technologies, ChatGPT is built to process questions with natural, human-like answers. Since its inception, ChatGPT has drawn a lot of pros and cons because it is widely used in the field of education and is considered to reduce the credibility of higher education. This study will describe and explore the perceptions of the use of ChatGPT by students in a descriptive quantitative manner. The participants in this study were students who attended English classes. They came from three different universities with a total of 150 respondents and a sample of 36 students. The instrument used was a questionnaire using a Likert scale. In addition, there are two additional questions to explore the reasons and suggestions of students on the use of ChatGPT. Questions are divided into three components. The first is whether ChatGPT increases students' learning motivation, the second is whether ChatGPT has features that are easy to access, and the last is whether ChatGPT can improve student performance and learning outcomes. The results of this study show that 62% of students agree that ChatGPT can increase student learning motivation because it provides insight into English Writing Skill classes. A total of 76% of students think that ChatGPT has features that are easy to use. Finally, 60% of students were able to improve student learning outcomes and performance in the English Writing Skill class.
A bécsi Magyar Történetkutató Intézet ki nem adott 1947. évi évkönyve
Authors: Csaba Keresztes
Published: August 2024

Mottó
„… kérdés, hogy a szocializmus felé haladó népi demokrácia állami költségen kiadjon-e bármilyen lelkiismeretes levéltári kutatásokon alapuló idealista történeti tanulmányt”
A magyar kormányzat az első világháború, és a trianoni diktátum utáni időszakban megújította a külföldi kulturális kapcsolatok rendszerét. Ennek eredményeképpen több intézetet alapított külföldön, illetve átalakította a korábban már működőket. A függetlenné vált Ausztria fővárosában, Bécsben, az 1920-as évek elején indult meg a magyar tudományos tevékenység (levéltári forráskiadás, ösztöndíjas kutatómunka, kulturális és tudományos értékközvetítés) két magyar intézet szervezésében. 1931 és 1940 között tíz évkönyvet jelentettek meg, és egy, Fontesnak nevezett forráskiadvány-sorozat szerkesztését is elvégezték. A második világháború évei alatt az évkönyvek kiadása szünetelt. Az évkönyvek újrakiadására csak 1948-ban nyílt volna lehetőség, és az Intézet meg is kezdte a szerkesztést, a tanulmányok kiadásának előkészítését. Azonban közben Magyarországon megváltozott a politikai légkör: a hatalmat a kommunista párt szerezte meg, és megkezdte a történelem eltorzult szempontú újraértékelését, és emellett egyházellenes harcot is folytatott. Mindez nem kedvezett a jelzett évkönyv kiadásának. A megjelentetést és a nyomdai előkészítést politikai és szakmai okokra hivatkozva leállították, nem törődve a jelentős előzetes pénzbeli költségekkel. Végül a megírt tanulmányok a minisztérium irattárába kerültek, többnyire máig kiadatlanul.

Abstract

Objective: evaluate different reaction times in fencing training with reaction time lights

Method: This manuscript proposes four specific exercises for evaluating the simple reaction time (SRT), the elective reaction time (ERT), the go/no-go response time (G/NG) and the decision decision-making after lunge (DML), march (DMM) and braking (DMB) in fencers. The sample consisted of 48 fencers (22 males and 17 females; age: 21 ± 13 years) from several fencing clubs in the region of Andalusia, competing at amateur (10 athletes), regional (17 athletes), national (7 athletes), and international (5 athletes) in the three official fencing weapons: Epee (E), Saber (S), and Foil (F). The exercises were developed for the Queling Sport lighting system, connected by Bluetooth with the ReactionX android application, which controlled the activation of the lights and recorded the reaction time and the correction of the execution for each trial.

Results: The results by gender did not show significant differences. Considering the results by weapon, the foil fencers were fastest than saber fencers, in all the exercises, but they were only significantly faster in the DML and DMM exercises. The performance in all the exercises was directly related with the competition level of the fencer, but only significantly better in foil fencers than in sable fencers when the exercise required decision-making processes.

Conclusions: We propose a reference scale to evaluate the perceptive ability of the fencers that could be applied in talent detection processes and for evaluating the specific perceptive ability of the fencers.

Published: August 2024

Aortic valve replacement is the commonest valvular surgery done around the world. In Asian population the aortic valve annulus size is smaller. So there is always a chance of patient prosthesis mismatch. There a number of techniques of aortic root enlargement during aortic valve replacement. We have used ‘Y incision technique’ in six of our patients in this case series. This technique is feasible and perioperative outcomes are promising. But it needs more mid and long - term results.
