Published: March 2020

Surveying women's literature over the past two centuries, gynocriticism I has found, perhaps to our surprise, that one of the recurrent themes in the writings of both Third World and Western women has been madness. Time and again , women authors from different periods and literary traditions, with diverse cultural,ideological and epistemic affiliations and commitments, bring out this theme to demonstrate emphatically and unequivocally how the symptoms of psychologicaldisfunctionality, together with definitions of madness, are culture-produced and bound, the products of a virulently hierarchical and patriarchal symbolic order.

Women-Headed Households in Lebanon
Authors: Ismail Ghena
Published: March 2020

One cannot tackle the issue of the family in Lebanon without referring to the women-headed households. According to the statistical survey of the populationand residence, conducted by the Ministry of Social Affairs and issued on October 14, 1996 , 14.2% of families in Lebanon are headed by women (i.e., 91 ,131 families). These women may be widows, divorcees, abandoned, or married to men who were kidnaped, worked abroad, or are sick and incapable of working. One common factor among these women, whatever the socio-economic background, is that they are in charge of their families by force of the situation.

Naming Gender and Ideology in Arab Culture
Authors: Khudr Adele
Published: March 2020

First names have been studied in different settings to identify specific patterns of culture and interaction (Goodenough, 1965), or changes in the political and social arena (Bulliett, 1978). Very few studies, however, have addressed the question of whether names represent ideological structures. This article summarizes the findings of a study on ideology and gender in a specific cultural context by examining first names.

Authors: Kassem Zeinab , Abdessamad Hasan M
Published: March 2020

Health disparities among sexual minority groups exist worldwide. Lesbian and bisexual women face barriers to healthcare access and provision. Disparities are even more striking in Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon. This paper assesses healthcare resources and practices pertaining to sexual minority women in Lebanon. We found a significant scarcity of research on lesbian or bisexual women coming out of Lebanon or the Middle East. We call for enriching the literature with such research to better understand the needs of women and recommend effective interventions.
Sensitivity of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells to chemotherapeutic drugs ex vivo depends on expression status of cell surface receptors
Authors: Shcherbina V. , Gordiienko I. , Shlapatska L. , Ivanivska T. , Sidorenko S.
Published: March 2020

Summary. Response of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients to classical chemoimmunotherapy that remains the main strategy in treatment of this disease is strikingly variable. This issue requires the finding of biomarkers which could predict efficiency of drug administration and choose the best treatment option for each patient individually. The aim of this study was to find out association between cell surface receptors expression levels and CLL B cells sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs ex vivo. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on malignant B cells isolated from peripheral blood of primary CLL patients. Flow cytometry, qPCR, ex vivo drug sensitivity assay, and cell viability assay were used in this study. Results: The high CD5 expression level was linked to better bendamustine (BEN) and cyclophosphamide (CP) CLL B cells response in contrast to B cells with low CD5 expression. Sensitivity of CLL B cells to CP also could be predicted by high level of CD20 expression. Expression of CD38 and high levels of CD37 and CD40 showed CLL B cells resistance to BEN ex vivo. CLL B cells sensitivity to analyzed chemotherapeutic drugs was not dependent on CD22 expression status. The CD180 expression was detected in CLL B cells which were more susceptible to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) combinatory action. CLL B cells that coexpressed CD150 and CD180 on the cell surface were characterized by significantly decreased cell viability under fludarabine (FLU) exposure alone or FC in comparison with CD150-CD180- B cells. Cell surface expression level of CD150 was not associated with CLL B cells chemosensitivity. However, high mRNA expression level of mCD150 isoform in CLL B cells was linked to their FLU sensitivity and CP resistance, while high nCD150 mRNA expression level showed resistance to FLU. Simultaneous CD150 and CD180 ligation increased FLU resistance, but BEN susceptibility of CLL B cells. CD150 and CD180 alone or in combination are involved in upregulation of CD20 cell surface expression. Conclusion: Expression status of the CD5, CD20, CD37, CD38, CD40, CD150, and CD180 cell surface receptors could be used in prediction CLL B cells sensitivity to FLU, CP, BEN and FC ex vivo. Moreover, CD150 and CD180 receptors are involved in regulation of CLL B cells susceptibility to FLU and BEN. The CD150 and CD180 are positive regulators of CD20 expression that could make CD150+CD180+ CLL B cells more responsive to CD20-based immunotherapy.

Authors: Siromolot A.A. , Krynina O.I. , Kolybo D.V. , Komisarenko S.V.
Published: March 2020

Summary. Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a member of the epidermal growth factor family and has a variety of physiological and pathophysiological functions. Also, HB-EGF plays a pivotal role in progression of different tumors. So, HB-EGF seems to be a target molecule for the treatment of some cancer types. Aim: To obtain HB-EGF neutralizing polyclonal antibodies and test their anti-proliferative properties in vitro. Materials and Methods: Lab rabbits and mice were used for immunization with recombinant HB-EGF. The effect of generated polyclonal antibodies on viability and apoptosis of human epidermoid carcinoma derived A431 cell line was assessed using MTT and Annexin V-propidium iodide assays. Results: Rabbit polyclonal anti-HB-EGF serum could block binding of soluble HB-EGF to epidermal growth factor receptor/human epidermal growth factor receptor. Also, anti-HB-EGF antibodies could bind to surface of A431 cells which express abnormally high levels of membrane bound proHB-EGF and its receptor. It has been shown that immune serum with polyclonal antibodies against HB-EGF was able to block the mitogenic activation of the cells with HB-EGF and cause apoptotic cell death. Conclusion: Inhibition of HB-EGF activity with neutralizing polyclonal antibodies can effectively inhibit mitogenic activation and cause apoptosis of cancer cells with significant epidermal growth factor receptor overexpression.

Authors: Lifsics A. , Rate E. , Ivanova A. , Tars J. , Murovska M. , Groma V.
Published: March 2020

Summary. Background: Survival of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients depends on the risk and environmental factors, tumor biology, achievements in diagnostics and treatment approaches. Aim: To perform a survival analysis of the patients with OSCC treated over a 10-year period in a single hospital in Latvia linking these data to histopathological findings, risk factors and received therapy. Materials and Methods: The main outcome measures were overall and disease-specific survival (OS and DS) along with histopathology analysis. Results: Kaplan – Meier survival analysis showed better survival for females, younger patients lacking bad habits, operated and received radiotherapy, with lower T grade and disease stage. Cox regression showed diminished early death risk in patients with lower T grade, no regional metastases (N0) and bad habits, operated and received radiotherapy. A vast majority of tumors were localized in palatine tonsils and the base of the tongue. The localization did not correlate with mean survival time/survival. Lower OS (p = 0.03) and DS (p = 0.026) were estimated for patients with pharyngeal wall and tonsillar involvement compared to tumors localized in the soft palate. A histological variant of tumor seemed irrelevant estimating OS and DS, whereas therapeutic modalities significantly affected survival. Conclusions: OSCC patients with lower T grade, N0 status, lacking bad habits, and surgically treated had better survival.
GEODIVERSITY IN HATIEN-KIENLUONG
Authors: Ha Hai Quang , Nguyen Tuyen Ngoc
Published: March 2020

Geodiversity may be defined as the range or diversity of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms and processes) and soil features, including their assemblages, properties, interpretations and systems. Hatien-Kienluong area contains some of the most important and diverse geological and geomorphological features. There exists the oldest sedimentary formation in the South of Vietnam, almost all types of rocks, various landforms and mineral resources, particularly building materials. Many landscapes here were acknowledged as national beauty spots, for instance, Hon Chong mount, Thach Dong and Da Dung mount. However, we have neither a comprehensive evaluation nor an appropriate conservation and management of geodiversity of this area that leads to degradation and destruction of many geosites by natural impacts and human economic development activities. Therefore, an integrated approach to conserve geodiversity is necessary for sustainable development that ensures the benefit of both present and future generations.
APPLICATION OF AHP (ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS) FOR DETERMINATION THE AFFECTING MAIN FACTORS IN SOIL EROSION AT SONG BE BASIN
Authors: Nguyen Ngan Truong
Published: March 2020

Soil erosion is a global environmental problem. The affecting main factors for soil erosion processes are different due to the specific areas. The calculated results of soil erosion, by Ha Quang Hai and Tran Tuan Tu, demonstrated that Song Be basin is eroded very huge, about 321 tons/ha/year. The article is based on factors proposed by R.P.C Morgan in 2005, using the analytic hierarchy process AHP (Thomas L. Saaty, 1970) to determine the weights for these factors. Since then, the article concluded main factors affecting soil erosion at Song Be basin. Research results showed that the Terrain factor has the largest weight (0.30), followed by two factors: Plant cover (0.29) and Rain (0.28). The article also identified four main factors impacting on the soil erosion at Song Be basin, including: slope, land cover ratio, intensity of rainfall and slope length. These results will be the basis for subsequent studies to adjust USLE model more applicably for erosion characteristics in the researched area.

Published: March 2020

New Bronsted acidic ionic liquid, 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [AcMI]HSO4, has two acidic sites -COOH and HSO4 -. It has been synthesized by three steps. First, 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [AcMI]Cl was prepared by alkylation of 1- methylimidazole with chloroacetic acid (molar ratio is 1.5:1) under microwave irradiation in 6 min (84 % isolated yield). Then, zwitter ion 1-carboxylatmethyl-3-methylimidazolium was obtained by using Ag2O to remove ion chloride Cl- from [AcMI]Cl. At last, concentrated sulfuric acid (98 %) was added into zwitter ion to give 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (yield 96 %). This ionic liquid used as a recyclabe catalyst for the esterification of isopropanol and chloroacetic acid. The optimal reaction conditions were obtained as follows: isopropanol: chloroacetic acid:[AcMI]HSO4 are 1.3:1:0.2, reaction time for 10 min at 60 oC under microvave irradiation. The yield of isopropyl chloroacetate was 86 %. This ionic liquid was removed from ester easily, recovered and recycled without loss of activity.

Yutma bozukluğu; periferal ve santral sinir sistemini etkileyen travma veya hastalıklar, kas ve/veya nöromusküler kavşağı etkileyen hastalıklar olmak üzere birçok nörolojik hastalık sonucu ortaya çıkan bir tablodur. Uluslararası İşlevsellik, Engellilik ve Sağlık Sınıflandırması (ICF) hastalıkları vücut yapıları, vücut fonksiyonları, aktivite ve katılım, kişisel ve çevresel faktörler bağlamında sınıflandırmaktadır. Nörojenik yutma bozukluğu görünürde vücut yapı ve fonksiyonlarındaki yetersizlikler ile ortaya çıksa da kişisel ve çevresel faktörlerin etkisiyle aktivite ve katılımı da kısıtlamaktadır. Halihazırda mevcut olan nörolojik problem kişilerin ruhsal durumu ve yaşam kalitesini etkileyebileceği gibi yutma bozukluğunun eşlik etmesi hem hasta, hem de aile ve bakım veren için ek bir yük oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle nörojenik yutma bozukluğuna yaklaşımımız hem değerlendirme, hem de tedavi aşamasında ICF kapsamında bireyi tüm yönleriyle ele almak olmalıdır. Yutma bozukluğu yönetiminde görev alan sağlık profesyonelleri kişi ve aile ve/veya bakım verenlerin duygu durumlarının ve yaşam kalitelerinin olumsuz yönde etkilenebileceğinin farkında olmalı ve rehabilitasyon programı içerisinde bu konuların ele alınması gerekliliği unutulmamalıdır.

Published: March 2020

In this study, we examined the effect of liquidity management on the performance of banks in Nigeria. Our sample comprised 18 banks included in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) from 2011 to 2017. Thus, the firm-year sample constitutes 90 (18 banks × 5 years) financial statements. We found that liquidity management positively and significantly affected banks’ profitability. Capital adequacy significantly affected return on assets, return on equity, and return on capital employed. Similarly, we found a significant positive effect of asset quality on the performance indicators. The analyses also showed that the liquidity ratio effect is positive and significant on the performance indicators. This result shows that banks with proper liquidity management will increase their profitability over time. This suggests that to increase the overall networth of shareholders, banks should place a strong emphasis on liquidity management. Thus, liquidity should be managed to minimise potential default risks.

Background: Immigration of women workers from neighboring countries into Thailand to work in factories, usually have poor knowledge, attitude, and misbehavior on reproductive health. This can cause problems of reproductive health in Thai society.

Objective: To compare the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of reproductive health between Thai and immigrant women workers.

Methods: This analytic study compared 107 Thai and 107 immigrant workers in factories in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. All participants were recruited by purposive sampling. Data was collected by self-administered questionnaires which included personal characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and behavior related to reproductive health. Statistical tests were performed to analyze association between variables.

Results: Thai workers were older than immigrant workers (31.3 ± 9.5 years vs 25.3 ± 5.1 years; P < .05) and more marriage (84.1% vs 72.0%; P < .05). Compare with immigrant workers, Thai women workers had finished secondary school or lower (51.4% vs 36.4%; P < .05), earned more than ฿15 000 per month (38.3% vs 3.7%; P < .05), owned their own house (15.0% vs 0%; P < .05), paid for their own healthcare (23.4% vs 11.2%; P < .05), and used private hospitals for healthcare services (40.2% vs 17.8%; P < .05). Thai workers had significantly better levels of knowledge and attitude (P < .001). However, immigrant workers were found to have better levels of reproductive health behavior (70.1% vs 68.2%), especially in terms of the number of sexual partners, and a good level of pregnancy-related reproductive behavior (97.4% vs 84.3%), particularly in the practice of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months or more.

Conclusions: Thai workers had more knowledge, attitude, and behavior of reproductive health than immigrant workers, despite their better attitude and behavior in terms of the number of sexual partners and the practice of exclusive breastfeeding 6 months or more.

An Analysis Of Birth Intervals In Bangladesh Using Frailty Models
Authors: Islam Hasina
Published: March 2020

This research dealt with the extension of the Cox's proportional hazards model that allows for heterogeneity among the responses due to random effects of covariates using frailty (random effect) approach. The results of this study showed that the Gaussian frailty model is better for the data than gamma frailty model and the unobserved cluster effect has a sizeable impact on the second birth spacing in Bangladesh. This research also showed the current pattern of the second birth spacing in Bangladesh and different demographic and socio-economic factors which affect the second birth spacing. It was found that mother’s education, survival status of 1st birth, region, place of residence and mother's age of marriage have great influence for the variation of the second birth spacing.

ALMANYA FEDERAL CUMHURİYETİ POLİS TEŞKİLATINDA MANEVİ BAKIMIN TARİHİ SÜRECİ VE UYGULAMA ŞEKLİ
Authors: GÜLER ÜNAL Ayse Gül , YILMAZ Sema
Published: March 2020

Bu çalışmanın konusu Federal Alman Cumhuriyeti’nde polislere yönelik manevi bakım uygulamasının incelenmesidir. Günümüzde sekülerizme rağmen mane-viyata karşı yoğun talep olduğu göze çarpmakta ve manevi ihtiyacı karşılayacak müesseselerin ortaya çıkmasını sağlamaktadır. Çoğunlukla din görevlileri veya dini temsilen gönüllüler tarafından icra edilen manevi bakım uygulaması, özel-likle Almanya’da yoğun talep görmekte ve diğer psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik hizmetleri arasında yerini almaktadır. Polislere yönelik bilinçli bir şekilde gelişen polis manevi bakım uzmanlığı resmi olarak 56 yıldır faaliyet göstermekte ancak uygulamanın kökleri 100 yıl öncesine dayanmaktadır. Manevi bakım hizmetle-rinin daha ekonomik olması devlet için makul hale gelmesini sağlamakla birlikte ortaya çıkan soru ise devletin bünyesine bir manevi faaliyeti yerleştirmeyi ne-den gerekli gördüğüdür. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma ile polis teşkilatında manevi ba-kımın nasıl uygulandığı ve onu diğer danışmanlıklardan farklı kılan yönleri ayrı-ca Alman devletinin söz konusu hizmete neden değer verip desteklediği ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmadan ele edilen verilere göre Alman polis manevi bakım uy-gulamasının gelişmesi ve yasallaşmasında Nazi döneminde polislerin suiistimal edilmesi etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca amaçlanan dini (bu durumda Hris-tiyan) değerler yardımıyla polisleri herhangi bir ideolojinin etkisine karşı koru-mak ve polisin ruh sağlığını olumlu yönde etkilemektir. Bu çalışma Türk manevi danışmanlık ve rehberlik ile ilgili literatüre katkı sağlamayı ve yeni bir kurumsal uygulama alanını tanıtmayı amaçlamaktadır.
İSLAMİ İLİMLER FAKÜLTESİ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN DİNİ GRUPLAR HAKKINDAKİ GÖRÜŞLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA
Authors: BULUT Ramazan
Published: March 2020

İnsanlık tarihi kadar eski bir olgu olarak dini gruplaşma, modern toplumlarda farklılaşan yapısı ile dini hayat üzerindeki etkisini sürdürmektedir. Sosyolojik bir olgu kabul edilen dini cemaatleşmeye, Cumhuriyet Türkiye’sinde 1960’lı yıllar-da itibaren bir taraftan çok partili siyasi ortam, şehirleşme ve sanayileşme diğer taraftan dini hayat ve eğitimin kısıtlanmasının ön açtığı söylenebilir. İlahiyat eğitimi alan öğrencilerin dini gruplar hakkındaki görüşlerini ele alan bu çalışma, Uşak üniversitesi İslami İlimler Fakültesinde eğitim alan 74 öğrenci ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, öğrencilere göre dini gruplara temas noktaları, dini grupların işlevleri, denetlenmesi ve dini gruplara eleştiriler ve öğrencilerin ilahiyatçı kimliği ile dini grup aidiyeti arasında nasıl bir ilişki kurdukları nitel veri analizi tekniği ile çözümlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin dini gruplara temasında aile ile birlikte sosyoekonomik etkenler belirleyicidir. Öğrencilerin dini grup algılarında grup aidiyeti öne çıkmakla birlikte, yüksek din eğitiminin öğrencilere daha nesnel bir dini grup algısı kazandırdığı söylenebilir.
TEVHİDİ BOZAN BİR OLGU OLARAK ŞİRK: KUR’AN’DA ŞİRKİN KAVRAMSAL ANLAM ALANI
Authors: KORKMAZGÖZ Rıza
Published: March 2020

Bu çalışma, şirk kavramının Kur’an’daki kullanımını esas alarak anlam analizini yapmayı konu edinmektedir. Bu çerçevede iman ve küfür, Kur’an’ın temel iki inanç terimi olarak kabul edildi; tevhit iman başlığı altında, zıddı olan şirk ise küfür başlığı altında ele alındı. Araştırmada takip edilen semantik yöntem gereği önce tevhidin anlam alanına giren dört esas terimden söz edildi. Bunlar; iman, şükr, İslâm ve ittikâ/takvâdır. Daha sonra şirkin anlam alanına dâhil olan beş temel terim ele alındı. Bunlar da küfr, dalâlet, zulm, fısk ve israftır. Tevhitle ilgili farklı çalışmalar yapılmasına rağmen şirkle ilgili araştırmaların çok az ve yetersiz olduğunu gördük. Özellikle şirkin semantik bir yöntemle çalışılmamış olması bi-zi böyle bir çabanın içine girmeye sevk etti. Zira şirki anlamadan tevhidi tam olarak anlamak mümkün görünmemektedir. Aynı şekilde tevhidi muhafaza edebilmek, hangi düşünce ve davranışların şirk olduğunu bilmekle mümkün-dür. Bu bağlamda Kur’an’ın temel kavramlarının semantik çalışmalarla yeniden tanımlamasının gerekli olduğuna inanıyoruz. Çünkü kavramlar düzeltilmeden sağlıklı düşünmenin ve inanmanın imkânı yoktur.
CAHİLİYE ARAPLARINDA NÜBÜVVET İNANCI “KUR’AN MERKEZLİ BİR ÇALIŞMA”
Authors: KOTAN Şevket
Published: March 2020

İlahiyat araştırmalarında, Cahiliye Araplarının nübüvvet tasavvuru hayli muğlak, sanki sadece çevre dinler ve Hz. İbrahim’in biyografisi ile bağlantılı bir hatıra gi-bi gözükmektedir. Onların nübüvvet telakkileri de geçmişteki nübüvvet ve va-hiy kültüründen kalan ‘izler’ olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Kanaatimizce bu ek-sik bir değerlendirmedir. Zira Kur’an’dan anlaşıldığına göre cahiliye toplumu, açık bir peygamber tasavvuruna sahip olmanın ötesinde güçlü düzeyde kendi içlerinden çıkacak bir peygamber beklentisi içindeydiler. Biz de bu çalışmada Cahiliye Araplarının güçlü bir nübüvvet tasavvuruna sahip olduklarını savuna-cak ve bu tezimizi temellendirmeye çalışacağız. Söz konusu eksik değerlendirmenin kabaca iki başat nedeninden söz edilebilir. Bunlardan ilki, tarihsel süreç içerisinde Cahiliye Araplarının kazandığı imaj, diğeri de Kur’an’ın tarihsel/sözel boyutunun göz ardı edilmesi, lafzî/literal okunarak anlaşılmasıdır. Cahiliye Araplarının tarihsel imajı, onların putperest ve peygamber karşıtlığı konumlarının zaman içerisinde dinle alakası olmayan, hat-ta din düşmanı bir konuma evrilmesiyle oluşan bir imajdır. Halbuki onların peygambere karşı çıkmaları, daha çok dinî temele dayanıyordu.
Hâkimiyet-i Millîye Gazetesine Göre Maraş’ın Fransızlarca İşgali Ve Ermeni Mezalimi
Authors: KUZGUN Meral
Published: March 2020

Osmanlı Devleti, Balkan Savaşlarının hemen arkasından Birinci Dünya Savaşı’na girmiş, birçok cephede savaşmış ancak savaştan yenik çıkmıştır. 29 Eylül 1918 tarihinde Bulgaristan’ın, İtilaf güçleriyle mütareke imzalamasıyla Osmanlı Devleti, Batı’dan istilaya açık hale gelmiştir. Talat Paşa Hükümeti’nin 7 Ekim 1918’de istifası üzerine yerine Ahmet İzzet Paşa Kabinesi kurulmuştur.30 Ekim 1918 tarihinde imzalanan Mondros Mütarekesi’nin 7. maddesi bahane edilerek Anadolu’nun güney bölgesinin İtilaf devletlerince işgal edilmesi büyük bir halk direnişin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bölge önce İngilizlerin işgaline uğramış, daha sonrasında 17 Eylül 1919 tarihli “Suriye Antlaşması” ile Maraş’a dâhil edilmek üzere Fransa’ya bırakılmıştır. Böylelikle 31 Ekim 1919’da Maraş’ı işgal eden Fransızlar şehirde yaşayan Ermenilerle birlikte hareket etmişlerdir. Bu nedenle Maraş halkı, 20 Ocak 1920’den 11 Şubat 1920’ye kadar yaşadıkları şehri kahramanca savunmuşlardır. Bu makalede, Maraş’taki Fransız işgali ve Ermeni mezalimi hakkında Hâkimiyet-i Milliye Gazetesi’nin yaklaşımları ele alınarak, sonuç bölümünde Fransızların bölgeyi tahliye etmelerinin nedenleri ve söz konusu gazetenin Maraş savunmasına katkısı ile halkın genel tutumu değerlendirilmiştir.
