DPP: Deep predictor for price movement from candlestick charts
Authors: Hung Chih-Chieh , Chen Ying-Ju
Published: June 2021

Forecasting the stock market prices is complicated and challenging since the price movement is affected by many factors such as releasing market news about earnings and profits, international and domestic economic situation, political events, monetary policy, major abrupt affairs, etc. In this work, a novel framework: deep predictor for price movement (DPP) using candlestick charts in the stock historical data is proposed. This framework comprises three steps: 1. decomposing a given candlestick chart into sub-charts; 2. using CNN-autoencoder to acquire the best representation of sub-charts; 3. applying RNN to predict the price movements from a collection of sub-chart representations. An extensive study is operated to assess the performance of the DPP based models using the trading data of Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index and a stock market index, Nikkei 225, for the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Three baseline models based on IEM, Prophet, and LSTM approaches are compared with the DPP based models.
SARS-CoV-2, los murciélagos no son los responsables
Authors: Galindo-González Jorge
Published: June 2021

Infundadamente se han mencionado a los murciélagos como los portadores del SARS-CoV-2 y como los causantes de la actual pandemia COVID-19, sin embargo, ellos nos proporcionan grandes beneficios y servicios como depredadores de insectos transmisores de enfermedades y plagas de nuestros cultivos, como polinizadores y dispersores de semillas, entre otros servicios ambientales. Los responsables de muchas enfermedades infecciosas somos nosotros al destruir los bosques y sustituirlos con enormes sistemas de producción agrícola y ganadero, y con el comercio ilegal de fauna silvestre, estamos provocando las crisis que actualmente nos aquejan. Las zoonosis como la malaria, el dengue, la rabia, la fiebre amarilla, etc., existen desde nuestro origen. Frente a la Covid-19, el objetivo de este artículo enfatiza que los murciélagos no son los responsables de la pandemia. No se ha encontrado el SARS-CoV-2 en murciélagos, el contagio de la Covid-19 es entre humanos. Destruir refugios de murciélagos o matarlos es perjudicial para los ecosistemas, para nuestra salud, economía y bienestar.

Published: June 2021

Background and Aim: The availability of minerals in the soil affect the mineral content of mangrove leaves. This study aimed to determine the macro- and micromineral contents in the environment and mangrove leaves (Avicennia marina) as animal feed in the coastal areas of West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Materials and Methods: In this study, soil, water, and mangrove leaves were extracted from the mangrove plant's environment. The mineral contents were determined using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer of Beijing Rayleigh Analytical Instrument Corporation (make and country of origin). The total phenol and tannin contents were determined using the Folin–Ciocalteu and hide-powder methods, respectively.

Results: The mineral content of the soil affected the mineral content of the plants. The soil and leaves of A. marina in the Pariaman area were richer in terms of macro- and microminerals. The soil had pH value, organic carbon content, leaf nitrogen content, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium of 5.65, 4.21%, 3.39%, 0.17%, 1.99%, and 0.54%, respectively. A. marina leaves had a total phenol and tannin contents of 24.51 mg GAE/g check the unit and 4.09%, respectively.

Conclusion: This research showed that the mineral content in the soil in several mangrove areas in West Sumatra has a positive correlation with the mineral content in the leaves of A. marina, which have a complete mineral content. Therefore, A. marina leaves could be recommended as a mineral source for ruminants.

Published: June 2021

Background and Aim: In the male reproductive system, the aging process can lead to infertility. Recently, placenta and its derivatives have been researched as regenerative agents. This study aimed to describe the basic components of dried bovine placenta powder and its potential effects as a regenerative agent in a rat model of male reproductive aging with D-galactose induction.

Materials and Methods: We divided 15 male Wistar rats, 2 months of age, into three groups: A, the health control group; B, the D-galactose induction group, and C, the D-galactose induction and 10% dried bovine placenta supplementation group. We measured epididymal sperm concentration and testicular weight and volume and analyzed these using one-way analysis of variance.

Results: Dried bovine placenta was rich in nutrients, with 61.98% protein, 21.25±2.07 carbohydrates, 8.58% water, 4.93% ash, and 3.27% fat. The mean epididymal spermatozoa concentration of the rats in Groups A, B, and C was 3026×106/mL, 1492.8×106/mL, and 2732.5×106/mL, respectively. The average total testicle weights were 2.44 g, 2.72 g, and 2.57 g, respectively. The average total testicle volumes were 2.29 cm3, 2.49 cm3, and 2.33cm3, respectively.

Conclusion: Dried bovine placenta powder is rich in nutrients, especially protein. Supplementation with dried bovine placenta can improve epididymal spermatozoa concentration that is important in fertility.
Fasting Plasma Total Amino Acid Levels in Relation to Glucose Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus – A Study from Karnataka, India
Authors: K.S. Mohammed Ali Musaraza , Telang Lata R. , Thirumalarao Kashinath Ratti Halli
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia, observed in type 2 diabetus mellites (T2DM) patients, is the primary root cause for the development of life threatening - diabetes induced micro- & macrovascular complications. Generally, in fasting state, gluconeogenesis accounts for about 30 % of overall hepatic glucose output and the increase in type 2 diabetic subjects may be much more than this level. The majority of gluconeogenic precursors may originate from muscle glycolysis and in the form of glucogenic amino acids including alanine. We wanted to assess fasting plasma total amino acid levels in T2DM patients and correlate the levels with the glycaemic status of T2DM patients in this study. METHODS The observational comparative study was undertaken at Research and Development department, from October 2019 to November 2020 and it consisted of 157 subjects, including 75 normal control subjects, and 82 T2DM patients. The T2 diabetic patients attending medical OPD of Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences, Purle, Shivamogga (SUIMS) were randomly selected and were sub-grouped in to 3 groups depending on their fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels. The group 1 patients were having FPG level in the range of 150 – 200 mg / dl, group 2 patients having in the range of 201 - 250 mg / dl and the group 3 patients were having FPG above 251 mg / dl. RESULTS It is evident from the present study that FPG levels as well as AAN levels are significantly (P > 0.001) elevated in T2DM patients as compared to normal control subjects and there is a proportional rise in AAN levels in relation to FPG Levels in T2dm patients. CONCLUSIONS The rise in plasma AN levels is proportional to glycemic status in T2DM patients and can be employed to assess the glycemic status in these patients.

HIGHER PHYSIOTHERAPY FREQUENCY IS ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTER LENGTH OF STAY AND GREATER FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY IN HOSPITALIZED FRAIL OLDER ADULTS: A RETROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Authors: HARTLEY P. , ADAMSON J. , CUNNINGHAM C. , EMBLETON G. , ROMERO-ORTUNO R.
Published: June 2021

Extra physiotherapy has been associated with better outcomes in hospitalized patients, but this remains an under-researched area in geriatric medicine wards. We retrospectively studied the association between average physiotherapy frequency and outcomes in hospitalized geriatric patients. High frequency physiotherapy (HFP) was defined as ≥0.5 contacts/day. Of 358 eligible patients, 131 (36.6%) received low, and 227 (63.4%) HFP. Functional improvement (discharge versus admission) in the modified Rankin scale was greater in the HFP group (1.1 versus 0.7 points, P<0.001). The mean length of stay (LOS) of the HFP group was 6 days shorter (7 versus 13 days, P<0.001). After adjusting for age, gender, comorbidity (Charlson index), frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale), dementia and acute illness severity, HFP was an independent predictor of functional improvement, shorter LOS and likelihood of being discharged without a formal care package. Prospective research is needed to examine the effect of physiotherapy frequency and intensity in geriatric wards.
Role of Vitamin D in Prevention of Chronic Diseases
Authors: Khanam Sofia
Published: June 2021

Vitamin D is one of the essential nutrients to sustain the human health. Vitamin D functions in the body through both an
endocrine mechanism (regulation of calcium absorption) and an
autocrine mechanism (facilitation of gene expression). The role of Vitamin D deficiency in increasing the risk factor of many common and serious
chronic diseases, including
cancers,
type 1 diabetes,
cardiovascular disease and
osteoporosis. Numerous epidemiologic studies suggest that
exposure to sunlight, which enhances the production of Vitamin D₃ in the skin, is important in preventing many chronic diseases.
25(OH)D (25-hydrovitamin D) is the
metabolite that should be measured in the blood to determine Vitamin D status. 25(OH)D deficiency is
prevalent in infants who are solely breastfed and
who do not receive Vitamin D₃

supplementation and in
adults of all ages who have
increased skin pigmentation or who always wear sun protection or limit their outdoor activities. It is therefore necessary to know the adverse health effects of 25(OH)D deficiency and to
design intervention and
early treatments for those who are likely to have low levels of 25(OH)D.

INTRODUCTION:

Gender preferences have been reported as a barrier to colorectal cancer screening, particularly among women. We aim to identify the role of patients' gender preferences for endoscopists and endoscopy team members, with the effect of age-related and regional differences.

METHODS:

We conducted an anonymous, voluntary survey of all adult outpatients presenting at our endoscopy centers before their procedures.

RESULTS:

We received 2,138 (1,207 women, 905 men, and 26 undisclosed; 50% urban and 50% rural) completed surveys. The majority of the patients (89%) did not have an endoscopist gender preference, while 8% preferred a same-gender endoscopist, and 2% preferred an opposite gender endoscopist. Among patients who expressed a gender preference, men more commonly preferred a same-gender endoscopist than women (91% vs 67%, P < 0.05). More patients preferred a same-gender endoscopy team member than a same-gender endoscopist (17% vs 8%, P < 0.05), and women more commonly preferred a same-gender endoscopy team member than men (26% vs 6%, P < 0.05). Most patients who expressed same-gender endoscopist preference were between the ages of 50–69 years as compared to other age groups (P < 0.05). Of the urban patients, 9% expressed a same-gender endoscopist preference and 3% expressed an opposite gender preference, compared with 7% and 2% of rural patients (P < 0.05). Among patients with any endoscopist gender preference, rural patients were more willing to wait longer (41% vs 21%, P < 0.05), whereas urban patients were willing to pay more (64% vs 14%, P < 0.05) to have their preferences met.

DISCUSSION:

Contrary to previous studies, most patients did not have an endoscopist gender preference. Interestingly, men had more same-gender endoscopist preference, whereas women had more same-gender endoscopy team member preference. Age-related and regional differences exist among patients' gender preferences for their endoscopist and endoscopy team member, and addressing these preferences while creating an environment of a multigender endoscopy team may be beneficial in improving colorectal cancer screening.

Properties of implication in effect algebras
Authors: Chajda Ivan , Länger Helmut
Published: June 2021

Effect algebras form a formal algebraic description of the structure of the so-called effects in a Hilbert space which serve as an event-state space for effects in quantum mechanics. This is why effect algebras are considered as logics of quantum mechanics, more precisely as an algebraic semantics of these logics. Because every productive logic is equipped with implication, we introduce here such a concept and demonstrate its properties. In particular, we show that this implication is connected with conjunction via a certain “unsharp” residuation which is formulated on the basis of a strict unsharp residuated poset. Though this structure is rather complicated, it can be converted back into an effect algebra and hence it is sound. Further, we study the Modus Ponens rule for this implication by means of so-called deductive systems and finally we study the contraposition law.

Published: June 2021

Smrt je kao dio svakodnevnog života u vrijeme pandemije češća i prisutnija, čime su njezina percepcija i doživljaj znatno intenzivniji. Tijekom pandemije bolesti COVID-19 smrt je zbog svakodnevnih izvještaja o broju umrlih, njihovoj dobi, spolu i mjestu gdje su preminuli postala masovna i vidljivija, ušla je u našu svakodnevicu. Brojni su izazovi koji prate proces umiranja, suočavanja sa smrću i tugovanjem tijekom pandemije. Službene protuepidemijske mjere obuhvaćaju niz pravila o postupanju s pokojnicima. Osim smjernica za zdravstvene djelatnike, uvedene su promjene vezane uz pogrebe i ispraćaje umrlih osoba. Nova pravila ograničavala su broj sudionika, ali i ukinula neke obrede i običaje vezane uz smrt i postupanje s tijelom. Analizirali smo pravila koja su donesena u Republici Hrvatskoj s obzirom na poštovanje kulturnih specifičnosti, tradicija sahrane i pogrebnih običaja. Preporuke su uključivale tihi sprovod u najužem obiteljskom krugu i žalovanje u samoći i izolaciji. To je dovelo do promjena u pogrebnim obredima i običajima te u obrascima tugovanja. Koristeći kvalitativnu metodologiju i pristup u radu iznosimo iskustva i osjećaje osoba koje su tijekom epidemije bolesti COVID-19 i karantene u Hrvatskoj (od 20. ožujka do 6. svibnja 2020. godine) doživjele smrt i pogrebe bliskih osoba. Ožalošćeni članovi obitelji prihvatili su nova pravila i prilagodili im se modificirajući postupak tugovanja, ali i uvodeći nove prakse. Umiranje i tugovanje u samoći istaknuti su kao najspornija mjesta, a nedostatak poznatih običaja, tradicija i praksi tugovanja uzrokovao je osjećaj nesigurnosti, pa čak i krivnje kod ožalošćenih.

The Relationship Between Parental Reflective Function, Attachment and Development of Child Psychopathology
Authors: Koycheva Magdalina
Published: June 2021

This article presents a theoretical overview of the relationship between parental reflective function, attachment style and the development of child psychopathology. The concept of parental reflective function was developed by Peter Fonaghi and his colleagues. Reflexive functioning is defined as the ability to imagine our mental states, emotions and desires, as well as those of others. The ability to interpret and integrate past relational experience is seen as a high capacity for parental reflection.
Central constructs in the theory of attachment are: the sensitive response of the mother, the internal working models and representations, the quality of attachment and the sense of security. In the process of developing attachment, the child builds Internal working models, which are formed on the basis of real relationships and participate in building representations of relationships. Arieta Slade and her colleagues believe that higher levels of reflective functioning are associated with secure attachment in
children and conversely lower levels of reflective functioning are associated with insecure attachment in children, such as mothers of children who resist and are disorganized, they have the lowest levels of reflective functioning. Low levels of reflective functioning allow the baby's adaptive mechanisms to be distorted and to develop the pathological ways of interaction with the parent.

This paper has examined the efficiency of futures trading of chilli in terms of price discovery and transmission. Seemingly unrelated regression” (SUR) model, Johansen’s multiple cointegrationtest, granger causality test and vector error correction model was applied to draw the results. Chilli spot market (Guntur) was efficient in price discovery. The Silbers and Garbage value of futures market was 0.0403 being significant at 1 per cent level (0.0037) indicating that futures market of chilli was inefficient in price discovery. The findings of the ADF test suggested that futures and spot prices of chilli attained stationarity at first difference. The co-integration test revealed the presence of one co-integrating equation and confirmed the long-run equilibrium relationship among futures and spot prices of chilli and spot markets came to short-run equilibrium as indicated by level of significance at 5 per cent i.e. (0.022), any disturbances in price would get corrected within 3 hours in spot markets as indicated by co-efficient values.
Post-harvest losses in the mango supply channel in Tamil Nadu state, India
Authors: Sekar C.
Published: June 2021

A study was conducted to identify mango value chains and analyse the post-harvest losses along them in the major mango-growing areas of Tamil Nadu state in India. The post-harvest losses were estimated using survey data collected during 2016-17 from 400 farmers; 60 households; and 100 traders consisting of wholesalers, commission agents, exporters, processors and retailers and 60 consumers in Tamil Nadu. Six major mango value chains were found in the production catchments through which the mango fruits reached consumers in different forms. Overall, the post-harvest losses at the farm level were estimated at 7.08 per cent. At the primary wholesaler level the losses were estimated at 7.30 per cent and at the processing level at 8.70 per cent. At the secondary wholesaler level the losses were estimated at 10 per cent. Maximum losses were observed at the retail level (14.97%), most likely as a result of improper post-harvest handling, lack of proper storage facilities, and rough handling of fruits by consumers who check fruit quality by squeezing. It is recommended that establishing procurement yards near farms, minimizing transaction points in the mango value chain, establishing value added and processing units near production catchments, initiating farmer cooperatives similar to Anand Milk Union Limited (AMUL) in India model, involving collection of fruits directly from the farmers by cooperatives, initiating Farmer Producer Company (FPC) and establishing a refrigerated transport system for well graded fruits right from farm to consumption centres would minimize post-production losses of mango.
Small-Sided Games as Holons in the Football: a hierarchical systems approach
Authors: Reis Marcos Antônio Mattos dos , Corrêa Umberto César
Published: June 2021

abstract Sports science has showed benefits in the use of small-sided games in the teaching-learning and training processes of football. We propose that such benefits occur because the small-sided games are holons of a hierarchically organized that maintain the same characteristics of game, regardless the reduced complexity. The hierarchical model of football considers the numerical relations of cooperation and opposition in specific spaces of play. It characterizes a nested hierarchy model because it deals with both the parts and the different processes of game. Such a hierarchical model contains five levels, in which the upper level is the football game and the elementary level a game situation, that is, a small-sided game. As any open system of hierarchical organization, the small-sided games present simultaneously invariant characteristics of whole and the specificities of the parts according the context and level of analysis. The adoption of such a hierarchical perspective allows setting goals as well as selecting the teaching-learning and training’s contents at different analysis levels by considering the autonomy-dependency in each one.
Distinction between nouns and verbs in Guató
Authors: Balykova Kristina
Published: June 2021

Abstract Even though the distinction between nouns and verbs is generally considered to be universal, it has been argued for some languages of Northern North America that they lack this distinction. The main argument for such assertion is that in these languages lexemes denoting entities and lexemes denoting actions receive the same markers, when used as predicates. Guató, an isolate from South America, exhibits a similar phenomenon. In Guató, lexemes considered nouns receive the same subject markers as intransitive verbs do, when they occur in predicative function. Moreover, nouns and verbs share other morphosyntactic features. This article aims to describe and to compare the morphosyntactic behavior of Guató nouns and verbs, pointing out similarities and differences between them.

Relationship between upper and lower limbs muscle explosive strength with the vastus lateralis and biceps brachii architecture
Authors: Laett Conrado , Gavilão Ubiratã , Rio Jéssica do , Cossich Victor , Oliveira Carlos Gomes de
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT We aimed to assess upper and lower limbs explosive strength, and its correlation with biceps brachii (BB) and vastus lateralis (VL) architecture. Absolute and maximum torque normalized rate of torque development (RTD) were measured from isometric elbow flexion (EF) and knee extension (KE). BB and VL architectures were assessed by ultrasound. Absolute RTD of KE was higher (129–272%), although normalized RTD was higher in EF (80-21%). The absolute RTD was correlated to muscle thickness only in the BB (r=.39-46). No relationship was found between muscle architecture and normalized RTD. In conclusion, the higher RTD from KE seems to be due to their greater strength. Only the muscle architecture could not explain the differences found in the RTD.

Significance Statement

The clinical significance of arteritis of the small kidney arteries has not been evaluated in detail in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV). A large multicenter cohort of 251 patients diagnosed with AAV and renal involvement, including 34 (13.5%) patients with arteritis, found patients with arteritis were older and had a more severe inflammatory syndrome compared with patients who did not have arteritis. The presence of arteritis on kidney biopsy was associated with poorer renal prognosis, independent of current risk stratification predictive models. The addition of the arteritis status significantly improved risk stratification of ESKD in patients classified as having low or moderate risk according to the ANCA renal risk score. The incidence and phenotype of this AAV subtype were confirmed in two external validation cohorts.

Background

Renal involvement in ANCA–associated vasculitis (AAV) is associated with poor outcomes. The clinical significance of arteritis of the small kidney arteries has not been evaluated in detail.

Methods

In a multicenter cohort of patients with AAV and renal involvement, we sought to describe the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with AAV who had renal arteritis at diagnosis, and to retrospectively analyze their prognostic value.

Results

We included 251 patients diagnosed with AAV and renal involvement between 2000 and 2019, including 34 patients (13.5%) with arteritis. Patients with AAV-associated arteritis were older, and had a more pronounced inflammatory syndrome compared with patients without arteritis; they also had significantly lower renal survival (P=0.01). In multivariable analysis, the ANCA renal risk score, age at diagnosis, history of diabetes mellitus, and arteritis on index kidney biopsy were independently associated with ESKD. The addition of the arteritis status significantly improved the discrimination of the ANCA renal risk score, with a concordance index (C-index) of 0.77 for the ANCA renal risk score alone, versus a C-index of 0.80 for the ANCA renal risk score plus arteritis status (P=0.008); ESKD-free survival was significantly worse for patients with an arteritis involving small arteries who were classified as having low or moderate risk, according to the ANCA renal risk score. In two external validation cohorts, we confirmed the incidence and phenotype of this AAV subtype.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest AAV with renal arteritis represents a different subtype of AAV with specific clinical and histologic characteristics. The prognostic contribution of the arteritis status remains to be prospectively confirmed.

Influence of Higher and Vocational Education on the Economic Development of the KhMAO-Yugra Region
Authors: Karminskaya Tatiana D. , Islamutdinov Vadim F.
Published: June 2021

The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra (KhMAO-Yugra) is classifie d a s on e o f Russia’ s norther n resource- extracting regions, the contribution of human capital to whose gross regional product (GRP) is typically negligible. In this context, the study investigated the impact of higher and vocational education on the development of the region’s economy. The objective of the research was to identify the direction and influence of human capital — in particular, higher and vocational education — on the economic development of KhMAO-Yugra. Despite the resource-extracting character of this region’s economy, its development can still be influenced by the quality of its human capital, as well as by institutional traps in the higher and vocational education system. Economic-statistical research methods — including multiple correlation and regression analysis — were used in combination with an abstract-logical approach. Along with an examination of the regional higher and vocational education system, the influence of its dynamic and structural factors on socio-economic development indicators is revealed. Predictions of GRP and average monthly salaries in KhMAO-Yugra until 2030 are offered. Institutional traps inherent in the region’s current higher and vocational education system are described. Factors identified as having the most significant positive impact include the number of postgraduate students, as well as bachelor-, specialist-, and masters-level graduates. The most harmful institutional traps are shown to be departmental affiliatio n, applica nt preference s, minim um tuiti on fee and low unemployment rate. If current trends in the region’s education and scientific systems are maintained, stagnation of its economy is likely to occur, resulting in a reduction of the region’s attractiveness to young professionals. The findings of the study can be applied when making changes to regional development programmes. More research is needed to determine economic development priorities in terms of human capital or resource extraction.
Öğretmen Adaylarının Ahlaki Olgunluk Düzeyleri İle Eğitim İnançları Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi
Authors: Aydemir Arcan , Kaya Mevlüt
Published: June 2021

Öğretmen adaylarının ahlaki olgunluk düzeyleri ile eğitim inançlarına odaklanan çalışmanın temel amacı bu iki durum arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Bu temel amaç doğrultusunda öğretmen adaylarının ahlaki olgunluk düzeyleri ile eğitim inançları cinsiyet ve bölüm değişkenlerine göre incelenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının eğitim inançları ise daimicilik, esasicilik, ilerlemecilik, yeniden kurmacılık ve varoluşçu eğitim alt boyutları kapsamında incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi (Sınıf Öğretmenliği, Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği, Türkçe Öğretmenliği, İlköğretim Matematik Öğretmenliği) ve İlahiyat Fakültesi’nde 2019-2020 eğitim öğretim yılında öğrenim görmekte olan toplam 690 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada yöntem olarak ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak “Ahlaki Olgunluk Ölçeği” ve “Eğitim İnançları Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler SPSS 22 paket programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan normallik testleri sonucunda normal dağılım göstermeyen verilerin analizinde Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis H testleri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının ahlaki olgunluk düzeyleri ile eğitim inançları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla da Spearman korelasyon katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının ahlaki olgunluk düzeylerinin cinsiyet değişkenine göre anlamlı şekilde farklılaştığına, bölüm değişkeninde ise ahlaki olgunluğun farklılık göstermediğine ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının eğitim inançları ise cinsiyete göre ilerlemecilik, varoluşçu eğitim ve esasicilik; bölüme göre ilerlemecilik, daimicilik ve esasicilik alt boyutlarında anlamlı olarak farklılık göstermiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının ahlaki olgunluk düzeyleri ile ilerlemeci, varoluşçu, yeniden kurmacı ve daimici eğitim inançları arasında pozitif yönde, esasici eğitim inancı arasında ise negatif yönde anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu saptanmıştır.

Free (rational) derivation
Authors: Schrempf K.
Published: June 2021

By representing elements in free fields (over a commutative field and a finite alphabet) using Cohn and Reutenauer’s linear representations, we provide an algorithmic construction for the (partial) non-commutative (or Hausdorff-) derivative and show how it can be applied to the non-commutative version of the Newton iteration to find roots of matrix-valued rational equations.
Hurwitz components of groups with socle PSL(3, q)
Authors: Salih H.M. Mohammed
Published: June 2021

For a finite group G, the Hurwitz space Hinr,g(G) is the space of genus g covers of the Riemann sphere P1 with r branch points and the monodromy group G. In this paper, we give a complete list of some almost simple groups of Lie rank two. That is, we assume that G is a primitive almost simple groups of Lie rank two. Under this assumption we determine the braid orbits on the suitable Nielsen classes, which is equivalent to finding connected components in Hinr,g(G).
Cumhuriyet Döneminde İçtimâî Bir Yara:Alkol, Propagandalar, Politikalar (1920-1950)
Authors: ÇAKIR Gül
Published: June 2021

1920 yılından itibaren Türkiye’de alkol bağımlılığı içtimai bir yara olarak ele alınmış, içki üretimi ve tüketimini sınırlandırmak için bir takım yasal düzenlemeler yapılmıştır. Türkiye’de 1920’den 1950 yılları arasında tıbbi dayanaklar ışığında yapılan propagandalarla içkinin zararları halka anlatılmıştır. İçkinin insan sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerinin yanı sıra toplumda meydana getirdiği sosyal bozulmalar da yapılan propagandaların bir konusu olmuştur. Bu dönemde alkol bağımlılığının ahlaki çöküşe neden olduğu, nesli bozduğu, aile yapısını çökerttiği, fiziksel ve ruhsal bozulmaya sebep olduğu, suç oranını arttırdığı anlatılmış, toplum içkiden uzaklaştırılmak istenmiştir.

Türkiye’de çıkarılan Men’i Müskirat Kanunu, Türk Ceza Kanunu, Umumî Hıfzıssıhha Kanunu gibi yasalarda alkolün kullanımını sınırlandıran ve zararlarını engellemeyi amaçlayan bölümler yer almıştır. Ayrıca devlet dönemin sağlık bakanlığı aracılığıyla alkol karşıtı propagandalar yürütmüştür. Türkiye’de alkol karşıtı propagandalar yayın, konferans, film gösterileri, gezi gibi vasıtalar ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Yeşilay Cemiyeti 1920-1950 yılları arasında alkol karşıtı propaganda konusunda kapsamlı faaliyetler gerçekleştirmiştir. Bünyesindeki doktorları dönemin gazetelerinde bilimsel makaleler yazmış, Türk Ocakları, Halkevleri ve mekteplerde konferanslar vererek alkolün zararlarını çok boyutlu olarak ele almışlardır. Yeşilay Cemiyeti, yaptığı yayınlarla, düzenlediği geziler ve oluşturduğu Yeşil gün, Üzüm Bayramı aracılığı ile propaganda yapmıştı. İçki aleyhinde duyulan işbirliği ihtiyacı güçlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Bu çalışmada 1920-1950 yılları arasında Türkiye’de alkol üretim ve tüketiminin sosyal ve ekonomik boyutları, bunlara yönelik yasal düzenleme ve girişimler ele alınmış, alkolizmle mücadelede yapılan propagandalara, bu konuda Yeşilay Cemiyeti’nin katkılarına yer verilmiştir. Dönemin gazeteleri, yayınları, arşiv belgeleri ve konu hakkında günümüzde yapılmış araştırmalar bu çalışmaya kaynaklık etmiştir.

Published: June 2021

Ibu Kota Indonesia, Jakarta, menjadi tempat strategis bagi arus globalisasi untuk membuka keran selebar-lebarnya. Globalisasi yang menjadikan budaya barat sebagai acuan gaya hidup ini kemudian melahirkan modernisasi. Modernisasi merupakan sebuah wujud transformasi kondisi yang sebelumnya kurang maju, menjadi berkembang ke sebuah kemajuan yang lebih baik. Segala pusat kehidupan cenderung didominasi pada kota Jakarta. Modernisasi yang terus memaparkan pengaruhnya ini kemudian memberi dampak kepada masyarakatnya juga, seperti berkembangnya paham hedonisme dan individualisme yang bertentanngan dengan ajaran agama. Agama sendiri merupakan sarana media penghubung antara manusia dan Tuhan. Kehidupan modern yang dijalani oleh mahasiswa di Jakarta ini mau tidak mau akan berdampak kepada cara atau pemahaman seseorang pada suatu hal termasuk agama. Setiap orang memiliki perspektif tersendiri akan suatu hal. Cara pandang mahasiswa dalam memandang partik agamanya pun sangat bervariasi dan memiliki latar belakangnya sendiri. Dalam penelitian ini banyak ditemukan jawaban dan temuan unik mengenai agama di dalam kehidupan mahasiswa Jakarta ini, serta pendapatnya mengenai agama di tengah-tengah kehidupan modern.
