Quantitative magnetic isoperimetric inequality
Authors: Ghanta Rohan , Junge Lukas , Morin Léo
Published: March 2024

In 1996 Erdős showed that among planar domains of fixed area, the smallest principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian with a constant magnetic field is uniquely achieved on the disk. We establish a quantitative version of this inequality, with an explicit remainder term depending on the field strength that measures how much the domain deviates from the disk.
On the number of independent and $k$-dominating sets in graphs with average vertex degree at most $k$
Authors: Taletskii Dmitrii Sergeevich
Published: March 2024

The following conjecture is formulated: if the average vertex degree in a graph is not greater than a positive integer $k \geqslant 1$, then the number of $k$-dominating sets in this graph does not exceed the number of its independent sets, and these numbers are equal to each other if and only if the graph is $k$-regular. This conjecture is proved for $k \in \{1,2\}$. Bibliography: 10 titles.

Authors: Liu Kai , Wu Chun-Xiao , Liang Hui , Wang Tao , Zhang Ji-Yuan , Wang Xiao-Tao
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common type of cancer and has the fourth highest death rate among all cancers. There is a lack of studies examining the impact of liver metastases on the effectiveness of immunotherapy in individuals diagnosed with GC.

AIM

To investigate the influence of liver metastases on the effectiveness and safety of immunotherapy in patients with advanced GC.

METHODS

This retrospective investigation collected clinical data of patients with advanced stomach cancer who had immunotherapy at our hospital from February 2021 to January 2023. The baseline attributes were compared using either the Chi-square test or the Fisher exact probability method. The chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were employed to assess the therapeutic efficacy and survival duration in GC patients with and without liver metastases.

RESULTS

The analysis comprised 48 patients diagnosed with advanced GC, who were categorized into two groups: A liver metastasis cohort (n = 20) and a non-liver metastatic cohort (n = 28). Patients with liver metastasis exhibited a more deteriorated physical condition compared to those without liver metastasis. The objective response rates in the cohort with metastasis and the cohort without metastasis were 15.0% and 35.7% (P > 0.05), respectively. Similarly, the disease control rates in these two cohorts were 65.0% and 82.1% (P > 0.05), respectively. The median progression-free survival was 5.0 months in one group and 11.2 months in the other group, with a hazard ratio of 0.40 and a significance level (P ) less than 0.05. The median overall survival was 12.0 months in one group and 19.0 months in the other group, with a significance level (P ) greater than 0.05.

CONCLUSION

Immunotherapy is less effective in GC patients with liver metastases compared to those without liver metastasis.

Authors: Wang Fang-Tao , Lin Yin , Yuan Xiao-Qi , Gao Ren-Yuan , Wu Xiao-Cai , Xu Wei-Wei , Wu Tian-Qi , Xia Kai , Jiao Yi-Ran , Yin Lu , Chen Chun-Qiu
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Due to the complexity and numerous comorbidities associated with Crohn’s disease (CD), the incidence of postoperative complications is high, significantly impacting the recovery and prognosis of patients. Consequently, additional studies are required to precisely predict short-term major complications following intestinal resection (IR), aiding surgical decision-making and optimizing patient care.

AIM

To construct novel models based on machine learning (ML) to predict short-term major postoperative complications in patients with CD following IR.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data derived from a patient cohort that underwent IR for CD from January 2017 to December 2022. The study participants were randomly allocated to either a training cohort or a validation cohort. The logistic regression and random forest (RF) were applied to construct models in the training cohort, with model discrimination evaluated using the area under the curves (AUC). The validation cohort assessed the performance of the constructed models.

RESULTS

Out of the 259 patients encompassed in the study, 5.0% encountered major postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ III) within 30 d following IR for CD. The AUC for the logistic model was 0.916, significantly lower than the AUC of 0.965 for the RF model. The logistic model incorporated a preoperative CD activity index (CDAI) of ≥ 220, a diminished preoperative serum albumin level, conversion to laparotomy surgery, and an extended operation time. A nomogram for the logistic model was plotted. Except for the surgical approach, the other three variables ranked among the top four important variables in the novel ML model.

CONCLUSION

Both the nomogram and RF exhibited good performance in predicting short-term major postoperative complications in patients with CD, with the RF model showing more superiority. A preoperative CDAI of ≥ 220, a diminished preoperative serum albumin level, and an extended operation time might be the most crucial variables. The findings of this study can assist clinicians in identifying patients at a higher risk for complications and offering personalized perioperative management to enhance patient outcomes.
Comparison of the clinical effects of dual-modality endoscopy and traditional laparotomy for the treatment of intra- and extrahepatic bile duct stones
Authors: Wang Wei , Xia Hui , Dai Bin
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Bile duct stones (BDSs) may cause patients to develop liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer. Currently, the success rate of surgical treatment for intrahepatic and extrahepatic BDSs is not satisfactory, and there is a risk of postoperative complications.

AIM

To compare the clinical effects of dual-modality endoscopy (duodenoscopy and laparoscopy) with those of traditional laparotomy in the treatment of intra- and extrahepatic BDSs.

METHODS

Ninety-five patients with intra- and extrahepatic BDSs who sought medical services at Wuhan No.1 Hospital between August 2019 and May 2023 were selected; 45 patients in the control group were treated by traditional laparotomy, and 50 patients in the research group were treated by dual-modality endoscopy. The following factors were collected for analysis: curative effects, safety (incision infection, biliary fistula, lung infection, hemobilia), surgical factors [surgery time, intraoperative blood loss (IBL) volume, gastrointestinal function recovery time, and length of hospital stay], serum inflammatory markers [tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8], and oxidative stress [glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and advanced protein oxidation products (AOPPs)].

RESULTS

The analysis revealed markedly better efficacy (an obviously higher total effective rate) in the research group than in the control group. In addition, an evidently lower postoperative complication rate, shorter surgical duration, gastrointestinal function recovery time and hospital stay, and lower IBL volume were observed in the research group. Furthermore, the posttreatment serum inflammatory marker (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8) levels were significantly lower in the research group than in the control group. Compared with those in the control group, the posttreatment GSH-Px, SOD, MDA and AOPPs in the research group were equivalent to the pretreatment levels; for example, the GSH-Px and SOD levels were significantly higher, while the MDA and AOPP levels were lower.

CONCLUSION

Dual-modality endoscopy therapy (duodenoscopy and laparoscopy) is more effective than traditional laparotomy in the treatment of intra- and extrahepatic BDSs and has a lower risk of postoperative complications; significantly shortened surgical time; shorter gastrointestinal function recovery time; shorter hospital stay; and lower intraoperative bleeding volume, while having a significant inhibitory effect on excessive serum inflammation and causing little postoperative oxidative stress.
Wheel Hub Cracks of Heavy-Duty Vehicles due to Drum Brake Shoe-Lining
Wear, Friction, and Self-Lock
Authors: Kanairo Kazunori , Soejima Mitsuhiro
Published: March 2024

Wheel hubs with drum brakes of heavy-duty vehicles rarely broke, but some
suddenly cracked in the 2000s. The cause of damage was said to be a lack of hub
strength. However, the case was suspicious because the hubs were produced
according to the design guidelines by the JSAE.

In the 1990s, brake shoe-lining materials were changed from asbestos to
non-asbestos for people’s health. The brake squeal and abnormal self-lock
frequently occurred because of the increased friction coefficient between drum
and shoe lining in the case of the leading–trailing type. The mechanical
friction coefficient changes with the material and the contact angle, which
varies with the wear of shoe lining and the drum temperature.

In the previous report, the deformation of the wheel hub under the abnormal
self-lock was verified by observing the change of hub attitude in model test
equipment. In this paper, a causality between the hub crack damage and the
abnormal friction increase is clarified by predicting the bending moment and
fatigue life of the wheel hub, which changes with friction forces and tire load
levels. It has been concluded that the abnormal increase in bending moments from
brakes and tires considerably shortens the durable life of wheel hubs.

Published: March 2024

The potential risk of Aluminium and Cadmium co-exposure is high owing to evidence of their co-contamination of several food products. Therefore, the present study investigated effect of single and combined exposures of aluminium and cadmium during pregnancy on cardio metabolic changes in mice. Following delivery and at the end of 78 days postnatal development, it was observed that exposure to Al and Cd during pregnancy altered indices of cardiac function via pathways related to angiotensin, cardiac troponin and oxidative stress signalling which may have impacted directly on the histoarchitectural features of the heart. Comparatively, prenatal exposure to Cd alone impacted more negatively to the heart in relation to exposure to either Al only or co-exposure to Al and Cd.
Effect of Spent Lubricating Oil on Total Antioxidant Power, Total Flavonoid Content and Total Phenolic Content of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Mooch and Soyabean Glycine Max (L.) Merr Seedlings after 14 Days of Germination
Authors: Aguebor-Ogie B. N. , Omorowa E. F.
Published: March 2024

Environmental pollution is a growing concern, with its detrimental effects on ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. Spent lubricating oil (SLO) represents a pervasive environmental pollutant, often finding its way into soil and posing a significant threat to plant life. This study was to investigate effect of the fractions of SLO (water-soluble, WSF; water-insoluble, WISF; and crude whole SLO, cWSLO) and distilled water (DW) respectively. The WSF showed significant (P<0.05) decrease in both species of seedlings (Sorghum 15.34 mg GAE/g ± 2.01 and Soya-bean 16.87 mg GAE/g ± 0.86) from results of TAP when compared to that of DW while the cWSLO was most significantly (P<0.05) decreased. The TPC also revealed significant (P<0.05) decrease from the different fractions when compared to the control (DW) as well as that of the TFC values from the results. The disparities in TPC emphasize the selective influence of different SLO components on the production of phenolic compounds, which could be crucial for plant defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. Thus, the results of the study showed that although the different parameters indicated that SLO can affect the oxidative state of brown sorghum seeds but it can be seen that it may be possible for the plant to utilize some of the water soluble contents of the SLO to aid germination.
Assessment of Flexural Strengths and Flexural Load Bearing Capacity of Bamboo Grids-Reinforced Soil Beam
Authors: Onyia M. E. , Ole S. O.
Published: March 2024

Soil improvement techniques have become a major solution to soil related problems. Thus, this paper aims to determine the flexural strengths and flexural load bearing capacity of bamboo grids-reinforced soil beam using standard methods and experiments at 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and, 28 days curing ages. The findings of this study showed that the mean flexural strength of uniaxial bamboo grid reinforced soil beam gave 3.50 N/mm² while flexural strength of biaxial bamboo grid reinforced soil beam gave 3.86 N/mm². The result indicates that biaxial bamboo reinforced soil beam has the tendency to maximize the flexural load bearing capacity of soil beams when compared with the use of uniaxial bamboo grid orientation technique. This paper, therefore, recommends that flexural strength and flexural load bearing capacity of inorganic clays of low to medium plasticity should be improved using biaxial grid type of bamboo grid orientation technique.

Green approach on wastewater treatment strategies aims to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly methods for treating wastewater while also reducing the environmental impact of traditional wastewater treatment processes. Hence, the objective of this paper was to undertake a critical review of green approach on wastewater treatment strategies using standard techniques of harvesting data from secondary sources from 2015 to 2023. Information obtained reveals that energy-efficient treatment technologies, such as anaerobic digestion and membrane bioreactors, use less energy than traditional treatment technologies. Treating wastewater for reuse can reduce the demand for freshwater resources and the energy required for water treatment. Onsite wastewater treatment systems, such as septic systems and composting toilets, can reduce the amount of wastewater that needs to be transported and treated at centralized facilities. Incorporating green infrastructure, such as rain gardens and permeable pavement, into urban areas can help reduce the amount of stormwater runoff that enters the wastewater treatment system. Extracting nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, from wastewater can be used as a fertilizer for crops, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Overall, these green wastewater treatment strategies aim to reduce the energy consumption, chemical usage, and environmental impact of traditional wastewater treatment processes, while promoting sustainable and efficient use of resources.

Administrativne jedinice nepoznatog imena iz istočne Bosne i Podrinja / Administrative Units of Unknown Name from Eastern Bosnia and Podrinje
Authors: Šačić Beća Amra
Published: March 2024

We witness the continual habituation of the Romanija-Rogatica region in the period of early Roman Empire primarily as the result of archaeological findings. A Roman settlement was located in the center of the present-day town of Rogatica (south-eastern Bosnia). Based on the analysis involving Tabula Peutingeriana, milestones and archaeological findings, we can conclude that the route Salona – Argentaria (Tab. Peut. 5, 3 - 6, 2) passed near this town. This territory once was also the headquarters of a Roman colony of unknown name. The paper presents different views regarding the name of this administrative units. The analysis of Latin inscriptions on epigraphic monuments made an attempt at answering this question. A particularly important monument for the study of the Roman colony in Rogatica is tombstone dedicated to Titus Claudius Maximus. According to this monument, the said person was a decurion of the colony Ris(…?). Inscriptions dedicated to decurions, duumviri and military veterans corroborate the existence of the colony in Rogatica. Prosopography also shows the relationship between the colony Ris(…?) and the settlement of military veterans, as they appear as city servants in this town. The second part of the paper focuses on the territory of the upper course of the Drina river that belonged to the municipal unit whose center was in the village of Komini near Pljevlja (Montenegro). This territory is located between the mountains Pivska, Ljubiša, Kovač, Jahorina, Treskavica, Lelija, Zelengora and Maglić. Although Komini hold a relatively small number of inscriptions that mention local officials from the municipium, not a single monument has preserved the full name of this administrative unit. They most commonly mention only the function of a particular person. The only inscription that shares more information is the honorary inscription dedicated in accordance with the decision of the council of decurions for the Roman knight and decurion Titus Aurelius Sextianus. This inscription states that this person was a decurion in municipium S(…?). Scholars have frequently identified this name with Splonum mentioned by Cassius Dio (Dio. 56. 11, 2). However, this paper emphasizes that Dio’s text suggests that Splonum should be located in western Bosnia. When it comes to the territory of the upper course of the Drina river, there are no inscriptions mentioning decurions, duumviri or aediles. Namely, Roman villas were mostly commonly found here (villae rusticae, villae sururbanae, villae urbanae). These archaeological findings support the thesis which claims that this territory was part of municipium S(…?), that was the closest to it geographically.

Međunarodna diplomatija u vrijeme disolucije SFRJ s akcentom na politiku SAD-a / International Diplomacy in the Time of the Yugoslav Dissolution with Emphasis on the Policy of the USA
Authors: Šehić Zijad
Published: March 2024

Based on relevant literature and primary sources the author observes how the processes of change influence the dissolution of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. In the first phase the American administration placed global geopolitical interests above the principles of democracy, human rights and the will of the people, defending the unity of Yugoslavia. However, under the influence of military and political events in the SFRY, the actions of the American diplomacy turned from the initial policy of commitment to preserve a unified Yugoslav state towards a dedication for a democratic process of disassociation. In the focus of the author’s work is the relation of the American administration towards the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose independence was particularly advocated in the final stages by Warren Zimermann, the US ambassador to the SFRY.
Avaliação da eficácia de uma receita de garrafada indicada para tratar inflamações do útero e bexiga, disponível na internet

Published: March 2024

O uso de plantas medicinais é uma abordagem terapêutica corriqueira, considerada popularmente como uma prática segura e eficaz. As “garrafadas” são as formas mais comuns de fitoterápicos de preparo caseiro, havendo na Internet, várias receitas, porém em nenhuma delas há informações sobre a validação de sua eficácia. Estas preparações só exercerão efeito se os metabólitos vegetais bioativos estiverem presentes em dose terapêutica. Os metabólitos, presentes em uma espécie vegetal fresca podem ser perdidos por volatilização ou sofrer reações de degradação nos processos de coleta e secagem das plantas e durante a produção e armazenamento da garrafada. Além disto, os processos de extração empregados podem não ser eficientes, comprometendo a presença e concentração dos metabólitos. Neste projeto, foi realizada a avaliação da receita de uma garrafada para tratar inflamações do útero e bexiga, disponível na internet. Na revisão bibliográfica, foi pesquisado o embasamento científico para ou uso das plantas indicadas na receita (barbatimão, calêndula, cavalinha, hortelã e trapoeraba). Na parte experimental, foram preparados os extratos metanólicos de cada espécie vegetal e a receita da garrafada, tal qual é descrita na internet, para verificar a presença dos marcadores químicos destas espécies. O perfil químico de cada um dos sistemas foi verificado por Espectrometria de Massas com Ionização por Eletronspray (ESI -MS). A revisão bibliográfica indicou que todas as espécies presentes na receita apresentavam várias substâncias com atividades farmacológicas comprovadas, relacionadas ao tratamento de inflamações e infecções, justificando, em princípio, sua indicação. Nas soluções metanólicas de cada espécie vegetal foi verificada a presença dos marcadores químicos, certificando a identificação botânica das amostras vegetais. Na garrafada, entretanto, foram encontrados 14 metabólitos, dos quais oito apresentam relatos na literatura de ação anti-inflamatória: ácido salicílico, ácido aspártico, tocoferol (Vitamina E), carvona, espatulenol, cariofileno e copaeno e mentofurano. Foi possível concluir que a metodologia de preparo da garrafada não garante uma extração efetiva dos metabólitos vegetais, uma vez que esta apresentou um número reduzido de metabólitos, em comparação com os extratos metanólicos. Porém, mesmo assim foi verificada a presença de metabólitos com ação anti-inflamatória, apontando para a possibilidade deste fitoterápico ser efetivo para o tratamento de inflamações, caso os fitofármacos presentes atinjam a dose terapêutica.

The electromagnetic distance relay at the Sukolilo substation has been replaced with a digital relay equipped with a recloser. If there is a disturbance, the relay will trip and reconnect automatically. The setting values have changed as a result of this replacement. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the distance relay setting at the Sukolilo substation using traditional calculations, which would then be implemented in a computer program developed by PLN Ltd. It also found out the results of calculations per zone included in the distance relay zone. This study employed a fuzzy method with digsilent software. The research data comprised data on SUTT installed at the Sukolilo substation, data on conductor relay settings at the Sukolilo substation, data on short circuit currents, and transformer ratios. The simulation results in this study indicated that the distance relay had a setting value that was not in accordance with the standard in the old setting of the Sukolilo substation zone 1 for protection (175.42%), while the calculation results showed that zone 1 protected 58.44%. The new impedance setting covered zone 1 = 0.338, zone 2 = 0.862, and zone 3 = 1.488, whereas the old impedance setting showed zone 1 = 0.1126, zone 2 = 0.2924, and zone 3 = 0.4128. The old setting time and the new setting showed a big difference in that the old setting time was 0.25 seconds with a range of 175.42% while the new setting time was 0.25 seconds with a range of 58.44%.

The use of gas can have both good and bad effects, the good effect is increasing the effectiveness of cleaner heat production and reducing the concentration of pollutants in the air. Gas cylinders that explode as a result of human error or errors in the production process of LPG gas cylinders or gas hoses should receive immediate treatment so that they do not become more dangerous and result in more victims. Efforts can be made to reduce this incident by detecting the smell of gas from leaks in gas cylinders by a gas sensor implemented by a microcontroller. How this microcontroller-based gas leak detector works in a home can be seen in the MQ-2 Sensor. If the sensor detects a gas leak (MQ-2) in the room, the buzzer will light up as an alarm that a gas leak has occurred and the Arduino will give a command to the SIM800L GSM module to send an SMS notification to the home owner's cellphone. This tool works by reading gas levels which are tested using a portable stove with a gas source via a portable gas cylinder which contains the same butane compound as the compound in LPG gas. If the gas level is detected by the mq-2 sensor, an alarm will automatically come on indicating an occurrence. gas leak in the room. then the Arduino nano orders the SIML800 GSM module to send an SMS to the home owner that there has been a gas leak in the house so that the home owner can find out and replace the hose or regulator on the gas cylinder.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the analysis of leadership failures, crises, and scandals in various sectors and contexts.

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: An analysis of leadership failures, crises, and scandals in Argentina reveals recurring patterns across various sectors and contexts. Instances of corruption, mismanagement, and lack of accountability have plagued political, corporate, and social spheres. The failure to address systemic issues has exacerbated economic instability and social unrest, undermining trust in leadership. These challenges underscore the pressing need for comprehensive reforms and ethical leadership to foster sustainable development and restore public confidence.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Transformational leadership theory, contingency theory & ethical leadership theory may be used to anchor future studies on the analysis of leadership failures, crises, and scandals in various sectors and contexts. Encourage practitioners to consider the perspectives of various stakeholders when analyzing leadership failures and developing strategies for crisis management and stakeholder engagement. Develop evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at preventing leadership failures and promoting effective leadership practices.
THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL SYSTEM PROHIBITING THE USE OF FORCE IN INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS
Authors: YOUSFI Dr. Safia
Published: March 2024

The principle of peaceful Settlement is one of The principles that contemporary international law is keen to establish in international relations. Despite the shift in the rules of this law towards rejecting the use of force in recoloring international conflicts, international practices continue to reveal a non-compliance with rules. This highlights the importance of studying this subject, as states often resort to the threat or use of force in defense of what they perceive as infringement upon their interests, witch in their view, should be at the core of the concerns of international law itself. It raises a fundamental problem of knowing whether the continuous violation of the principle of the prohibition of the use of force to resolve international conflicts is due to the deviation in the behavior of some arrogant states, or to deficiencies in the international legal system for this principle? To answer this problem, it requires, first and foremost, studying the provision of international law related to the principle of prohibition of the use of force, and then examining the reality and justifications for international practices that go beyond this principle, according to the following plan: First topic: the prohibition of the use of force to resolve international conflicts in contempory international law. Demand 1: the legal basis for the prohibition of the use of force. Demand 2: exceptions to the prohibition. Second topic: challenges in international handling of cases of legitimate use of force. Demand1: deviant international practices of the legitimate use of force. Demand 2: new justifications for legitimizing the use of force
İstiklâl Marşı’nı Anadolu’ya İlk Tanıtan Gazete: Açıksöz
Authors: Çelik Fikriye
Published: March 2024

Marşlar toplumsalın inşasında kolektif bilinci kurmak adına başvurulan yöntemlerin başında gelmektedir. Değerlerin hafızaya alınması, bu sayede mutlaklaşması; hafızayı kutsal kılmaktadır. Bu kutsalın korunması da kuşkusuz toplumun koşulsuz inancıyla, tam aidiyetiyle mümkün olmaktadır. Hatırlatma, harekete geçirme, pekiştirme niteliğine sahip marşlar milletlerin karakteristiğine dair somut bir açıklama sunmaktadır. Millî Mücadele yıllarında topyekûn kararlılığı teşvik için yazılıp hürriyete bağlılığı karakterize eden İstiklâl Marşı cephede askere okunmanın ardından basın yoluyla milletin huzuruna çıkmıştır. Bu araştırmada, ilk kez Hâkimiyet-i Milliye ve Sebîlürreşad’ta yayımlandığı bilinen Millî Marş’ı kabulünden önce halkla buluşturan bir diğer gazetenin Açıksöz olduğu gerçeği aydınlatılmıştır. Niteliksel tarihsel tasarım karakterine sahip çalışmada bir yandan Mehmet Akif’in ilk adres seçtiği Açıksöz’ün Marş’ı haberleştirme pratiği incelenirken bir yandan da Millî Mücadele’nin başarıyla sonuçlanmasında payı bulunan gazeteyi tanımanın önü açılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere göre; kurtuluş mücadelesi veren toplumun motivasyon kaynaklarının başında gelen Marş dönemin ruhunu yansıtan bir söylem pratiği çerçevesinde gazetedeki yerini almış, ilk neşir için Kastamonu’yu seçen Mehmet Akif Ersoy’a minnet ifadeleri eşliğinde sayfaya taşınmıştır. Bununla beraber inceleme sonucunda gerek yazı kadrosunun gerek sayfalara taşınan metinlerin Anadolu basınının Millî Mücadele yıllarını gösteren tarihi bir belge mahiyetinde olduğu anlaşılmıştır.

Authors: Oğuş Nezir
Published: March 2024

Bu çalışmada büyük güçlerin Afganistan hâkimiyeti üzerinden oluşturmaya çalıştıkları hegemonya sürecinde enerji jeopolitiği hâkimiyet politikalarına yönelik pratikler ve karşı çıkışlar üzerinden tahliller yapılacak ve bu konular tartışılacaktır. Bu çerçevede oluşturulan makalede, “büyük güçlerin hegemonya politikalarında stratejik enerji kaynaklarının önemi nedir ve Afganistan’ın kilit konumu bu politikaları nasıl şekillendirmiştir?” sorularına yanıt aranmaktadır. Araştırma, yöntem açısından uluslararası ilişkilerde sert güce dayalı hegemonyal politikaları, jeopolitik teoriler ve enerji hâkimiyeti yönüyle irdeleyerek İngiltere’nin, Rusya’nın, ABD’nin, Çin’in ve AB’nin Afganistan hâkimiyeti üzerinden sağlamaya çalıştıkları büyük güç stratejilerini incelemektedir. Bu temelde oluşturulan çalışmanın temel argümanını, İngiltere’nin, Rusya’nın, ABD’nin, Çin’in ve AB’nin Afganistan üzerinden sağlamaya çalıştıkları enerji hâkimiyet politikaları ve hegemonya stratejileri oluşturmaktadır. Söz konusu büyük güçlerin tarihsel ve güncel dış politikalarının odağında kara hâkimiyet teorisi, Afganistan ve stratejik enerji coğrafyasının yer aldığı görülmektedir. Makalenin amaçları, hedefleri ve hipotezleri kurumsal veri analizine dayalı tüme varımsal bir yöntemle büyük güçlerin dış politikaları, resmi belge ve stratejiler üzerinden irdelenmiştir. Çalışma bu şekliyle alana özgün bir bakış açısı getirmeyi hedeflemektedir.
HZ. PEYGAMBER’İN ANNESİ ÂMİNE: ÂİŞE ABDURRAHMAN’IN “ÜMMÜ'N-NEBÎ” İSİMLİ ESERİ ÜZERİNE
Authors: Güven Şahin
Published: March 2024

Kadim tarih ve siyer kitaplarımızda Hz. Peygamber’in annesi Âmine hanımefendi hakkında rivayet kabilinden muhtelif bilgiler bulunmakla birlikte, İslâm tarihinde onun hakkında yazılmış müstakil bir eserin varlığından söz edilmemektedir. Yazar Âişe Abdurrahman’ın, bu alandaki boşluğu görerek “Ümmü'n-Nebî” adı altında Âmine hanım hakkında bir eser yazarak 1961 yılında Kahire’de yayınladığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, hem ilgili eserin yazarı Âişe Abdurrahman’ın edebî ve ilmi kişiliğiyle ilgili kısaca bilgi vereceğiz, hem de İslâm kültür tarihinde ilk kez Hz. Peygamber’in annesi Âmine hakkında kaleme alınan bu eser üzerine değerlendirmeler yapılacaktır. Uzmanlık alanı olan “Tefsir” başta olmak üzere, Arap dili ve edebiyatı, tarih-siyer, roman ve deneme türü eserleri bulunan müellifin önemli çalışmalarından birisi de, “Ümmü’n-Nebî” isimli biyografi çalışmasıdır. Yazar Âişe Abdurrahman, bu eserin en önemli kaynağının, Âmine’nin değerli evladı Hz. Muhammed’in (as) kişilik ve şahsiyetinin olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Yazar, güvenilir rivayet ve tarihi vesikalara müracaat etmesinin yanında, rivayet tekniği açısından kabul görmeyen ve birçok âlimin “sonradan uydurulmuş ve hayal mahsulü (mitolojik) rivayetler” olarak görüp nitelediği bilgilere de eserinde yer vermiştir. İşte bu makalede müellifin “Ümmü’n-Nebî” isimli çalışmasının kaynakları ve eseri yazma yöntemi hakkında bilgiler verilip bir kısım değerlendirmeler yapılacaktır. Bunun yanı sıra ilgili eserin farklı mütercimler tarafından yapılan Türkçe çevirilerine ve Hazreti Âmine’nin biyografisi üzerine günümüzde yapılmış olan bazı çalışmalara da dikkat çekilecektir.
A Stochastic Goal-Based Economic Order Quantity Model for Dairy Products
Authors: Mubiru Kizito Paul , Ssempijja Maureen N.
Published: March 2024

Resilient efforts are still sought to optimize the inventory of dairy products under demand uncertainty. Several industries operate under uncertainties that severely affect company performance. In this paper, a multi-objective goal programming model is proposed to optimize the economic order quantity of dairy products under stochastic demand. Adopting a Markov chain approach, the model initially defines the demand transition matrix, inventory cost matrix, objective function, priorities, and goal constraints of dairy products. The model seeks to minimize the deviation variables from the targeted economic order quantity and total inventory costs of dairy products over a finite period planning horizon. The sum of deviations is minimized so that the actual economic order quantity and inventory costs meet the targeted levels of dairy products. Using the simplex method, an analytical solution is obtained and a numerical example is presented for illustration; demonstrating the overachievement or underachievement of the targeted economic order quantity and inventory costs of dairy products. Results indicate how priority-based goal programming solution is sensitive to the highest priority to be achieved. The proposed model can be effective where the relevant economic order quantity and inventory costs can be prioritized if necessary.
Students’ Life Concerns and Graduate School Journey
Authors: D. Mendoza Antonia , D. Mendoza Leovy Mae
Published: March 2024

Pursuing graduate studies is a fulfilling and rewarding experience, and sometimes challenging. Thus, this study examined the life concerns likely to contribute to the students’ graduate school journey. The study was conducted in the College of Graduate Studies, Palompon, Leyte, Philippines, utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, with respondents recruited from the master's and doctoral degree programs. Relevant data were collected using survey questionnaires prepared in Google Forms. Data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, and the Spearman rank-order correlation. Results showed that the current study sample found their graduate school journey slightly good. Study findings revealed further that two demographic factors - age and work positions, were found negatively correlated with the graduate school journey, and this implies that younger graduate students tend to have better graduate school experience than older ones; and students holding supervisory positions have struggling graduate school experience. Correlation analysis indicated a significant negative relationship between work-related concerns and graduate school experience. Overall findings pinpoint the need for graduate school practitioners to consider initiatives that address students' life concerns and likewise formulate policies and guidelines that may provide them with a support system that helps students find their graduate school journey smooth, happier, and fulfilling.
