Authors: KAYA Muhammet Caner , KAYA Eda
Published: December 2022

Turizm hareketleri gün geçtikçe kitle turizminden alternatif turizm türlerine doğru yönelmekte, bu yönelim ise destinasyonların alternatif turizm türlerini karşılayacak potansiyellerine odaklanmalarına neden olmaktadır. İnanç turizmi, alternatif turizmin önemli ve her geçen gün daha fazla talep gören türleri arasındadır. Trabzon ilinin Maçka ilçesi sınırları içerisinde, Altındere Vadisi Milli Parkı’nda yer alan Sümela Manastırı; Hıristiyanlığın, özellikle Ortodoks mezhebinin Anadolu’daki en eski ve en önemli manastırlarından olma özelliği taşımakta, tarihi, kültürel ve dini önemi sebebiyle oldukça büyük bir turizm potansiyeli oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı Sümela Manastırı’nın inanç turizmi bakımından potansiyelini ve Trabzon destinasyonunun gelişimine olan katkısını ortaya koymaktır. Daha önceki araştırmalar ışığında mevcut durum ortaya konmuş, potansiyelin daha etkili kullanılabilmesi için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
TARIM HABERLERİNİN YAVAŞ MEDYA KAPSAMINDA İNCELENMESİ: AGRO TV ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: OĞUR Onur
Published: December 2022

Bu çalışma, tarım haberciliği kavramının ana akım medyada yeterli temsili bulunmadığı düşüncesinden yola çıkılarak, Agro TV gibi tematik bir kanalda tarım haberlerinin nasıl ele alındığı ve nasıl sunulduğunu incelemektedir. Yavaş Medya kavramının Agro Tv üzerinden bir okuması yapılarak tarım hakkında kamuoyunun bilincinin nasıl arttırılabileceği tartışılmaktadır. Tarım, son yıllarda dünyada giderek önemi artan ve küresel pazarda üretimin azalması sonucunda tüm ülkelerin hem teorik hem de pratik yöntemleri tartışmaya açtığı bir konu haline gelmiştir. Tarım haberlerinin medya içeriklerinde daha az görünmeye başlaması da hızlı üretim, hızlı tüketim alışkanlıkları ile ilgili hale gelmiştir. Haberlerin üretimi ve sunuluşu günümüzde ana akım medya araçlarından farklı platform ve haber üretim süreçlerine ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu bağlamda tematik kanallar ya da sosyal medya yayıncılığı giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Tarım haberleri açısından Agro Tv’nin bu ihtiyacı ne kadar doldurduğu ve yavaş medya kavramına ne kadar uygun olduğunun sorgulanması çalışmanın çıkış noktası olmuştur.

Narradores-trapeiros, anarquivamento e fragmentação em romances de Benedicto Monteiro
Authors: Pacheco de Souza Abílio
Published: December 2022

The novels by Benedicto Monteiro Verde vagomundo (1972), O minosauro (1975) and A terceira margem (1983), written and published in the context of the Brazilian military dictatorship, employ in their compositions the technique of montage and fragmentation, common to other novels from the 1970’s (Franco, 1998), and they appear to us in their non-conforming feature as disjointed fractals and as self-moving trees (Pacheco, 2020). Mobilizing diverse discursive materials collected in society and inserting them in the novel, the narrator promotes a disorder in the logic of the Western, Cartesian, Enlightenment archive, he acts like a garbage collector, like the Baudelairean ragpicker, to put us in front of an anti-archive. He collects and presents the reader with a seemingly random collection of radio transcripts, newspaper and magazine news, songs lyrics, poems, technical reports, testimonials, and other discursive material. In this paper, we analyze the rag-picker narrator and the anarchivation, the anarchivation of the archive that shakes the edifice of Western reason, as the residues of society are collected from the ruins to critically reconstruct a discourse (according to Seligmann-Silva, 2014). Anarchivation, as a gesture of disorder and fragmentation, carried out by the narrators, appears as an aesthetic principle and corresponds to the perception of shock by the subject in the face of the rigging of the State and the vertigo caused by the violent, technocratic apparatus. After all, in the context in which the novels were written, the measure of good and evil and the subjugation of the subject's autonomy are under the rule of a State whose policy is based on violence and control (Todorov, 2008). Fragmentation and anarchivation as ways of disposing the narrative correspond to the way of perceiving himself, others and the world by this narrator, also disjointed, in a context and because of a violent, adverse, degrading context.
Antes do passado: uma aprendizagem
Authors: Foglia Graciela Alicia
Published: December 2022

This work analyzes Antes do passado. O silêncio que vem do Araguaia (2012) by Liniane Haag Brum, an account of the author’s search for traces of the life of Cilon Cunha Brum, her uncle and godfather, PC do B’s militant from the 60’s until his disappearance in the jungle in the 70’s. Liniane and Cilon, for different reasons, are victims of State violence, which justifies the reading of Antes do passado in the light of reflections on testimonial literature. Like many texts of this type, the report is made up of fragments and silences, but also, until almost the end, it is strongly marked by fears and mistrust among those who lived with Cilon and the narrator-protagonist; she doesn’t even seem interested in their stories of suffering. The work’s hypothesis is that Haag Brum’s text can be read as a «training novel»: a protagonist narrator who looks for a family member, who is not interested in listening to witnesses when the focus of the speech deviates from its objective and which, in the end, is transformed; not only her but also, to some extent, her writing.
Repressão e violência do Estado no romance O corpo interminável, de Cláudia Lage
Authors: Lisboa de Mello Ana Maria
Published: December 2022

This article examines Cláudia Lage's novel O corpo interminável in light of the events of repression and violence during the military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985). The narrator-protagonist's revisiting of this past and the events that led to his mother's disappearance is a painful process, difficult to apprehend, a fact that requires an investigation that uses several sources of information. It is, therefore, an archaeological novel, which recomposes the events of the past through research, witnesses, vestiges and interpretation, in order to get closer to the truth.
Zaíta não será esquecida: a vida em fragmentos e as crianças em Conceição Evaristo
Authors: Antunes Paolinelli Luísa , Finguermann e Fernandes Sofia
Published: December 2022

This study seeks to reflect on violence in impoverished Brazilian communities with a strong criminal presence, as portrayed by contemporary Brazilian author Conceição Evaristo, based on the analysis of the short story «Zaíta forgot to put the toys away» (2014). Considering the extreme form of aggression against children, such as the use of physical or psychological force to impose a will and control, this goes through a conditioning that is manifested by processes of authoritarianism, repression, segregation and social exclusion. The short story analyzes the consequences of a way of thinking, acting and placing oneself in relation to the other marked by direct and indirect experiences of violence that are replicated in a vicious circle and that result in lives that are like the mutilated and lost toy of the little girl Zaíta.

Microhardness and Microstructure of In-Situ Formed Fe-50%TiC Composites by Different Heating Methods
Authors: KOÇYİĞİT Melih , ÇAMURLU Hasan Erdem
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is to fabricate in-situ TiC particle reinforced Fe matrix composites via volume combustion synthesis (VCS) through heating by two different sources. One group of reactant pellets was ignited by heating in an induction furnace (IF). The other group was ignited via heating by using a tungsten inert gas (TIG) torch. Thus, the differences in the microhardness and microstructure of the obtained composites could be compared. Fe, C and Ti elemental powders were used to obtain composites that contained 50 vol. % TiC in the Fe matrix. In the repeated experiments, the ignition temperatures of the IF pellets were found to be in 1164-1184 oC range. The formation of composites was verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses, where it was seen that the products were composed of TiC and Fe with trace impurity phase. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) examinations showed that the in-situ formed TiC particles were regularly distributed in matrix in both series. The TiC particles obtained by TIG heating were about 5 times larger than the particles obtained by induction heating. Microhardness values of the samples were higher in IF series as compared to TIG series. It was shown that 50 vol. % TiC particle reinforced Fe matrix composites could be obtained by both heating methods. TIG was found to be a much practical method, when compared to conducting VCS in a furnace.
Characterization of Hot Extruded Hybrid Composites Al 2024 Metal Matrix Reinforced with TiO2 and ZrO2
Authors: PEKTAŞ Ayşenur , EBETÜRK Okan Can , GÖKMEN Uğur
Published: December 2022

In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al 2024 powder, the prominent type of Al 2XXX series aluminum alloys widely used in the aerospace industry, and TiO2 and ZrO2 reinforcement elements used to improve material properties were investigated. Each reinforcement element is included in the material at the rate of 10%. For hybrid composite sample production, 10% hybrid composite material was procured by adding each reinforcing element equally. For each sample, powders were mixed in a 3D mixer to ensure an equal distribution of matrix powder and reinforcement elements in the samples. The samples were churned out by subjecting the two-stage them to a one-way hot press process. The furnace temperature was kept at 600 o C to preserve samples. Density and microstructure analyses were performed on the formed samples, and the results were evaluated. After all, the Archimedean density measurement method was used to obtain final densities, these samples were taken to bakelite for optical images, then scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Brinell hardness of the samples was measured. The cross-fracture strength test was completed to analyze each sample’s microstructural behavior. Finally, the theoretical radiation shielding properties of each sample were investigated. The Phy-X/PSD program was used to examine the radiation permeability properties. According to the test and analysis results, the effect of reinforcement elements on the material was determined. As a result, the highest hardness value measured was 97.5 HB at the 10% ZrO2 -reinforced MMCs. However, the relative density of the hybrid composite is better than ZrO2-reinforced MMCs. Thus, the best cross-fracture strength measured was 635 MPa in 10% hybrid MMCs. The radiation shielding parameters showed that the 10% ZrO2 -reinforced MMCs are best for shielding. Therefore, the second reasonable material for radiation shielding is hybrid reinforced materials. In the final decision, hybrid composite materials became prominent because the distinctive features of each material enhanced the samples.
Effectuality of the Frequency Levels on the C&G/ω–V Data of the Polymer Interlayered Metal-Semiconductor Structure
Authors: ALSMAEL Jaafar Abdulkareem Mustafa , URGUN Nuray , TAN Serhat Orkun , TECİMER Habibe
Published: December 2022

Voltage and frequency dependent of capacitance and conductivity versus voltage (C&G/ω–V) qualifications of Al/(ZnFe2O4-PVA)/p-Si structure was compared and examined at lower and higher frequencies as 10 kHz and 1 MHz, respectively. The negative capacitance (NC) is a phenomenon that occurs at low frequencies and is primarily caused by minority carrier injection, series resistance (Rs), and surface states (Nss). Because of the specific density distribution and relaxation times of Nss, NC acts different behavior at lower and higher frequency levels and loses its effectiveness with increasing frequency. Also, the fluctuations in C and G/ω were ascribed to doping concentration, surface states loss charges, and interlayer thickness. Nss was acquired using the low-high frequency capacitance method (CLF-CHF), and the forward biased C−2 vs V graphs (at 10 kHz to 1 MHz) were used to determine the Fermi level (EF), barrier height (ΦB), and concentration of doped acceptor atoms (NA). Accordingly, it has been detected that C and G/ω are highly dependence on biases and frequencies. Then again, the polarizations and surface states effect are barely perceptible at extremely higher frequency levels. Thus, polarization and Rs stand out as important parameters that should be taken into account when examining the basic parameters of electronic devices.

Authors: KÖKÇAM Büşra , SATAN Ayşin
Published: December 2022

This study sought to develop a new scale of coping strategies with boredom in class (CBCS) and test its reliability and validity across subsamples of undergraduate and graduate students. The entire sample consisted of 1561 students, with more female (N = 967) than male participants (N = 594). When developing the scale, 367 undergraduate students were asked what they did when they were bored in class and whether they made any effort to focus on the lecture. The exploratory (N = 636) and confirmatory factor analyses (N =355) suggested that the CBCS demonstrated a good internal consistency, dimensionality and latent factor structure. The four factors that emerged from the exploratory factor analysis were named Cognitive Approach, Behavioral Avoidance Based on Simple Stimuli, Cognitive Avoidance and Behavioral Avoidance Based on Activating Stimuli. The CBCS also demonstrated significant convergent validity with related scales used in the literature. The CBCS is shown to be a promising measure of coping strategies with boredom in class.

Authors: Dhar Abhranil , Pal Shyamal , Das Brahmarshi , Mandal Partha
Published: December 2022

Background: Alcohol abuse is on increasing trend in world as well as in India, especially in young population. Long-term alcohol intake may leads to alcoholic chronic liver disease which may turns in to end stage liver diseases. Alcoholic chronic liver disease is associated with some hematological abnormalities which if detected at early stage may provide clear therapeutic implications in managing these patients and reducing the adverse events.

Aims and Objectives: Our aim of the study was to identify various hematological abnormalities in patients of alcoholic chronic liver disease.

Materials and Methods: This hospital-based cross-sectional study includes 100 randomly selected patients with alcoholic chronic liver disease attending Out-Patient Department and admitted in General Medicine ward of Burdwan Medical College satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed for hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), total leukocyte count (TLC), platelet count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration, and prothrombin time-international normalized ratio. The mean and standard deviation, percentages, and ratio were calculated and presented in the form of tables with the help of SPSS (IBM) ver-23. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Hematological abnormalities were found more with increased duration of alcohol consumption. Prolonged bleeding time was observed in 23% cases and prolonged clotting time was observed in 21% cases. Maximum patients belonged to Child–Pugh grade C. Hematological abnormalities were more in patients belonging to Child–Pugh grade C. Hb, RBC, platelet, and packed cell volume were significantly lower in patients belonging to Child–Pugh class C, whereas TLC, MCV, and MCH were significantly higher in class C.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that related hematological changes, which are common in alcoholic chronic liver disease endanger the lives of these patients. They should be detected and corrected at earliest to minimize morbidity and mortality.

Authors: SEVİNÇ Nurgül , BULUT Mehmet
Published: December 2022

This study proposes a four-dimension model to redefine poverty based on the Islamic tradition. The extant literature is deficient in holistic discussion on poverty and its multidimensionality. The study employs inductive and deductive reasoning as a part of the qualitative research method to analyze the existing literature. It draws on the primary sources of Islam and works of Muslim scholars on poverty and other related aspects. It has also reviewed the conventional literature on poverty from social policy, economics, sociology, psychology, psychiatry, and health, among others. The study can influence policymaking and research directions and shed light on critical measures and strategies related to poverty alleviation. The study's novelty lies in developing an original Islamic model for redefining poverty and setting a new yet comprehensive direction for future research.
Facial Blanching As An Unusual Complication After The Injection of Local Anesthesia: A Clinical Report
Authors: Erdoğan Hilal
Published: December 2022

Facial blanching is a complication related to local anesthesia in dentistry. Anatomical
variation, intravascular injection, rapid local anesthetic injection, decreased blood flow with the
vasopressor effect of epinephrine, ortho-retrograde movement of the solution, incorrect positioning
of the needle, and neurological origin may cause this phenomenon, the etiology of which
is not fully known. Most of the blanching cases reported in the literature are related to injection
of the inferior alveolar nerve block. Also, intra-extraoral clinical photography is limited. Supraperiosteal
infiltration anesthesia is a safe and easy technique that is frequently used in daily

Çağımızda büyük bir hız kaydeden teknolojik gelişmeler, olumlu yönlerinin yanında birçok olumsuzluğu da beraberinde getirmektedir. İnsanlık, teknolojinin nimetlerinden yararlanırken bir yandan da kendisini teknolojinin kullanımından kaynaklı çığ gibi büyüyen sorunların kucağında bulmaktadır. Bu sorunların en önemlilerinden biri, bütün sınırları aşarak çok hızlı bir şekilde yayılma özelliği bulunan internet ortamının, kişisel verilerin güvenliğini tehdit eder hale gelmesidir.
İnternetin sınır tanımayan özelliği, bu ortamdaki güvenlik açıklarıyla bir araya geldiğinde özel hayatın gizliliğini ciddi manada ihlal edebilmektedir. Akıllı cihazların internet ortamında birbirine bağlanarak veri alışverişinde bulunması bunu bir adım daha öteye taşımaktadır. Akıllı saatler de söz konusu akıllı cihazlardan biri olup giyilebilir özelliğe sahiptir. Bu özelliği ve kullanım amaçları itibariyle kullanıcıyla ilgili özel nitelikli kişisel verileri yoğun olarak işlemektedir. Aynı zamanda akıllı telefonlara bağlanarak internetin güvensiz ortamına giren akıllı saatlerin, sağladığı tüm imkanlarla birlikte kişisel verilerin güvenliği açısından özel olarak incelenmesi gerekmektedir.

Bioelectrical Impedance Plethysmography, in other hand Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) of living system specially for human body is deal with great importance as it changes with different physiological parameters and help to predict the different kind of disease like diabetes mellitus, human mental stress etc. This changing pattern also varies with the human ages and life styles. In this study we have collected the GSR values of two groups of people one is young generation under 20-25 years old and group is middle age under 40-50 years old. The GSR values were collected by using Grove-GSR Sensor with Arduino Uno. The individual’s data was analysed in Mat-lab and the statistical parameters like standard deviation and mean of the extracted datasets was calculated respectively and documented. The statistical parameters from the changing pattern of GSR clearly indicate that this changing is fully associated with the different physiological parameters and different ages which indirectly deal with great significance for pre identification of human diseases.

Published: December 2022

Context: After introducing ‘Treat all policy’ in the country and free ART (Anti-retroviral therapy) for all patients the biggest challenge is to optimize adherence to therapy and ensure viral suppression. The present study is aimed to determine the adherence pattern of HIV positive patients at ART center, Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh and to determine the factors influencing adherence.
Methods and Material: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an ART Centre of a teaching hospital. In this study 357 patients were interviewed using a modified version of ACTG questionnaire and adherence was calculated by pill count and recall method. Chi square test and logistic regression was done using SPSS.
Results: Nearly 72% patients had optimum adherence. On univariate analysis the factors found significant were sex of the patient, the education, the socioeconomic status, financial constraints, family support, WHO stage at diagnosis, alcohol addiction and tobacco addiction. On logistic regression four factors namely having less than college education, WHO stage at diagnosis, alcohol intake and lack of family support were found to predictors of non-adherence.
Conclusions: Family support, treatment of alcohol addiction will improve adherence in HIV positive patients.

Authors: Sankar Gowthaman , Ganesan Vijayakrishnan , Shantharam Raja Vel , Palanisamy Kaveri , Katam Indraja
Published: December 2022

Background: Voice disorders cause undesirable effects on school teachers such as reducing their quality of life, decrease in work performance affecting the quality of education, job absenteeism, and reduced social activities as well.
Methodology: Voice disorder among teachers was assessed through the “Voice handicap Index”, which was developed by Jacobson et al in 1997 to self-assess the severity of voice disorder in dysphonia patients
Results: The overall prevalence of voice disorder among government school teachers was found to be 46.5% with a 95% confidence interval from 41.5% to 51.5%. Using Backward Wald, the binary logistic regression analysis showed that female teachers (AOR 1.6, p<0.01*), teaching experience less than 10 years (AOR 2.4, p<0.01*), and teaching hours more than 21 hours per week (AOR 6.7, p<0.01*) had a significant association with voice disorders.
Conclusion: The prevalence of voice disorder was found to be high since teachers are professional voice users. The study also recommends that teachers must receive the required health education on the ergonomic risk factors that they will come into contact with in their daily lives as part of their jobs.
Optimal Integration of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and Compensating Photovoltaic Systems in a Distribution Network Segregated into Communities
Authors: Tounsi Fokui Willy Stephen , Ngoo Livingstone , Saulo Michael
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes a method of optimally utilizing electric vehicles (EVs) in the distribution network. The method is firstly based on segregating the distribution network into communities and then optimally placing an EV charging station (EVCS) in each community using the backward forward sweep (BFS) technique. The Second phase uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) to size and allocates photovoltaic systems in the network for power loss minimization and voltage improvement. The proposed method is tested on an IEEE 33 node test feeder and simulation results showed the effectiveness of the BFS in finding the best nodes for the placement of EVCS in each community as well as the effectiveness of the PSO in allocating the photovoltaic systems. To validate the effectiveness of the BFS technique, its results obtained are compared with those obtained when the EVCSs are placed on some nodes other than those chosen by the BFS technique.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.
La langue comme miroir d’un peuple
Authors:   École Normale Supérieure (ENS) d’Abidjan-Côte d’Ivoire, GBOGBOU Abraham
Published: December 2022

The relationship between language and the people has been the subject of several reflections in the history of language sciences and continues to leave a lasting impression. This paper focuses on this relationship and defines language as a mirror of the people. In order to show this, we start from a general hypothesis according to which language and the people maintain an ontological and spiritual relationship. This relationship is sometimes positive, sometimes negative. However, we have noted in conclusion that language is a powerful instrument of social cohesion, unity and communion. This position had the privilege of being the answer to a question that guided our reflection. From a methodological point of view, the study was based on a qualitative approach. This allowed us to better understand certain fundamental notions and to appreciate the semantics of the relationship between language and people. At the level of theoretical reference, sociolinguistics enabled us to carry out a detailed demonstration. This demonstration was done in two parts. Firstly, it was an analysis of the language-people dynamic. Secondly, it was a question of analysing language as a linguistic paradox. Keywords: Dida, Language, Multilingualism, People, Sociolinguistics,
Emploi prédicatif du pronom personnel lui dans Sur La Braise d’Henri Djombo
Authors:   Université Marien Ngouabi, Congo, Otsiema Guellely Ferdinand , Kindziala-Kindziala Lionnel ,   Université Marien Ngouabi, Congo
Published: December 2022

This article studies the predicative use of the personal pronoun him in Sur La Braise by Henri Djombo. Thus, the objective is to describe the kinetics of him, as anaphora and cataphor of the represented element. The study demonstrates that the presence and absence of indices of subjectivity, which reinforce the thematization of this pronoun, would contribute to distinguishing the style of Djombo, to aestheticize his text and to convert his fiction into populist discourse. With a dual psychomechanical and pragmatic approach, we analyze the syntactic figures used and the stylistic effects targeted by the author. We show that the author avoids three-element structures for the sake of brevity and literality. It mobilizes exclusively the elliptical structures with a single element (lui + Ø) and with two elements (lui + SN + Ø / SN + lui + Ø) in which lui is sometimes reinforced by means of a prepositive locution (as for), d an indefinite adjective “even” or an adverb (also), to get as many readers as possible to adhere to his vision of the world that he shares. Keywords : Henri Djombo, predicative pronoun, dislocation, double marking, expressive values.
Le discours proverbial et ses effets stylistiques chez quelques écrivains africains
Authors:   Université Marien Ngouabi, Congo, Moukoukou Sidoine Romaric
Published: December 2022

This study focuses on the proverbial discourse and its stylistic effects in some African writers. It is a question, using the stylistic approach, of showing the role that this discourse plays in a literary text. Indeed, writers such as Chinua Achebe, Seydou Badian, Amadou Hampaté Bâ, Ahmadou Kourouma, Sembene Ousmane, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Henri Lopes employ proverbial discourse with metaphorical, comparative, judgmental, ethical and satirical effects not only to embellish romantic stories by their figurative and pictorial meaning, but also and above all to ensure a playful and didactic function in the training of individuals. The insertion of this discourse in the literary text reflects the influence of civilization, better of orality in Negro-African literature. Thus, its use appears as a sign of maturity or culture. Keywords : proverbial discourse, african writer, stylistic effect, study, literary text.
