Types of Obsolete Words (Archaisms and historicisms)
Authors:   Azerbaijan Tourism and Management University, Candidate for a degree, Umudova Mahbuba Tofig ghizi
Published: December 2022

Obsolete words not used in the dictionary are divided into two groups: archaisms and historicisms. There are certain differences between them. Archaisms included words representing objects, events, processes, and concepts; they can reflect existing and currently defined events and concepts. They are often not related to the language itself, but they can be replaced by more modern tools. The process of emergence of archaisms is called as the process of archaicization. Thus, any archaism can have a synonym in a given language. For example: Grumpish – this word was used around the 1720s. Meaning: bad-tempered and sulky. Currently, the synonyms of this word are more commonly used: sulky; bad-tempered; sullen; gloomy, etc. Archaisms are divided into several groups depending on the degree of obsolescence of words and how they are currently used in the language: linguistic, lexico-semantic, grammatical, morphological, poetic and lexical.

The purpose of this study in general is to describe, analyze and interpret the phenomenon of social safety nets oriented to the government's efforts to reduce the burden of the poor in rural areas due to theimpact of Covid-19, especially Malang Regency. This study uses a qualitative method. The results of the study show that the Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance (BLT DD) policy is very beneficial for the Village community affected by Covid-19 in Pujon District, by implementing it according to the procedures and mechanisms that have been determined in Permendes No. 6 of 2020 is able to cover the most vulnerable people inPujon District. The implementation of the BLT DD policy in Pujon District in general hasreflected the values of justice, expediency and very good legal policies. If the BLT DD policy is carried out well, according to the existing procedures and rules, BLT DD will provide a sense of justice for the poor, weak, jobless, marginal and have notreceived any assistance from any agency. Supporting factors for policy implementation, namely good coordination and communication, strong will and commitment from the village government in Pujon District to help poor communities affected by the Covid-19 pandemic are capital in implementing policies that can run well even though there are still shortages, the presence of volunteers and village community participation and involvement. While the inhibiting factors are the discrepancy of data with the number of beneficiary families (KPM), delays in the distribution of the BLT DD distribution process, lack of coordination, and the lack of public understanding regarding the use of direct cash assistance (BLT DD)

TRANSFORMACIÓN DIGITAL Y EMPLEO PÚBLICO: TRANSICIÓN EN UN CONTEXTO COMPLEJO
Authors: GALINDO CALDES RAMON LLUIS
Published: December 2022

La transformación digital, la automatización y el uso masivo de los datos en el funcionamiento del sector público impactan de forma radical en la estructura del empleo público. La necesidad de nuevos perfiles profesionales y de repensar la organización y funcionamiento de las Administraciones convive con problemas estructurales de envejecimiento y temporalidad de las plantillas, y con un sistema de gestión de los recursos humanos que se muestra incapaz para seleccionar dichos nuevos empleados y crear un sistema atractivo y alejado del modelo tradicional. Hay que reflexionar sobre la posibilidad de seleccionar bajo dos parámetros ¿nuevo y tradicional- y acometer cambios que transformen no solo la selección de nuevos empleados sino también la forma de organizar los recursos humanos en el sector público.

Sektore publikoaren eraldaketa digitalak, automatizazioak eta datuen erabilera masiboak izugarrizko eragina dute enplegu publikoaren egituran. Batetik, profil profesional berriak behar dira, eta administrazioen antolaketa eta funtzionamendua birpentsatu beharra dago, eta, horiekin batera, egungo arazoei aurre egin behar zaie: plantillak zahartzen ari dira, behin-behinekotasunarekin lotutako egiturazko arazoak daude eta giza baliabideak kudeatzeko egungo sistema ez da gai langile berri horiek hautatzeko eta eredu tradizionaletik aldenduta sistema erakargarri bat sortzeko. Hausnartu beharra dago ea aukerarik dagoen bi hautaketa-parametroak ¿berria eta tradizionala¿ erabiltzeko eta, aldi berean, langile berrien hautaketa ez ezik, sektore publikoan giza baliabideak antolatzeko modua ere eraldatzeko.

Digital transformation, automation and the massive use of data in the functioning of the public sector are having a radical impact on the structure of public employment. The need for new professional profiles and to rethink the organization and functioning of the Administrations coexists with structural problems of aging and temporality of the workforce, and with a human resources management system that is unable to select these new employees or to create an attractive system other than the traditional model. We have to think about the possibility of recruiting under two parameters -new and traditional- and introduce changes that transform not only the selection of new employees but also the way human resources are organized in the public sector.

Еmpirical study of mental health characteristics of managers and teaching employees of educational institutions in the conditions of war.
Authors: Karamushka Liudmyla , Shevchenko Antonina
Published: December 2022

The article reveals the content of the mental health of leaders  and teaching staff of educational institutions in war time, which is understood as their ability to cope with every day stress of life in the war time, to establish relationships with people in war time, to effectively carry out professional activities aimed at helping their organization and society during the war period.

On the basis of empirical research, a number of problems related to the mental health of managers and teaching staff of educational institutions in war conditions, which are characteristic of a significant number of interviewees, have been identified. The most pronounced are problems related to the ability to counteract stress, followed by problems related to the ability to carry out professional activities (to ensure its effective organization and productivity) and in the last place there are problems related to the ability to establish relationships with people, primarily, in the process of professional interaction. At the same time, it was established that for all the components of mental health of the vast majority of interviewed leaders and teaching staff of educational institutions, despite all the complexity of the war period, a positive orientation of life is inherent (a vision of life prospects, faith in life, a positive attitude towards one's activities, the importance of student learning, etc.). The obtained data indicate the need for the development and implementation of special technologies aimed at preserving and maintaining the mental health of managers and teaching staff of educational institutions in war conditions, which can be used at the individual, group, organizational and societal levels.

Authors:   , Arrieta Paniagua Vanessa
Published: December 2022

Los pacientes con estenosis aórtica desarrollan hipertrofia del ventrículo izquierdo (VI) en respuesta a la sobrecarga de presión. La fibrosis miocárdica tiene un papel fisiopatológico importante en este proceso de remodelado VI, así como claro valor pronóstico. La resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) cardiaca con las secuencias de realce tardío (RT) nos permite identificar y cuantificar la fibrosis focal de reemplazo, la cual está asociada a una evolución desfavorable en los pacientes con estenosis aórtica severa. El ST2 soluble (sST2) es un marcador de fibrosis cardiaca y está involucrado en enfermedades inflamatorias. En la estenosis aórtica está elevado y parece tener valor pronóstico. En este estudio hemos investigado los efectos del sST2 en fibroblastos cardiacos humanos sobre el estrés oxidativo, la inflamación, la activación de miofibroblastos y la síntesis de colágeno, así como su papel patológico en la estenosis aórtica. Por otro lado, hemos investigado si los niveles de sST2 en sangre se asocian con el RT evaluado mediante RMN en pacientes con estenosis aórtica severa.
Desarrollo y análisis de modelos de detección de crypto-ransomware en base a tráfico de compartición de ficheros
Authors:   , Berrueta Irigoyen Eduardo , Morató Osés Daniel
Published: December 2022

Since 2015, the attacks targeting enterprises' and users' data have gained importance due to the value this data has for both. This kind of attacks is called 'crypto-ransomware' and it encrypts the data stored in the local machine or in servers, asking for a payment to recover it. The aim of this thesis is to detect this kind of attacks. We have collected and analysed more than 90 different ransomware variants in order to learn the common behaviour patterns for being able to detect them. Enterprises are more affected by these attacks, comparing to home users. Usually an attack to an enterprise has a high economic cost due to the high value the information has and the necessity of stopping its activity until recovering it. Therefore, in a common enterprises' network there usually are servers that store all the data making it accessible for all users in the network. A single user infected by ransomware could encrypt all data stored in these servers, causing high information loss and economic damage. In this work we focus on this king of scenarios, in which the information is stored in servers and accessible by the users. For the firrst detection tool developed in this thesis, we captured the network traffic between the users and the shared server. We found common traffic patterns that were not present in a normal user traffic capture and we used them for detecting the attack. Specifically, we used the read, write and delete operations that ransomware must perform for distinguish their traffic from users'. The tool, that must decode the network protocol, achieved a 100% detection rate in all studied binaries with a false positive rate low (1 in 15 days of 300 users' traffic). However, the main limitation is that the tool is not effective in scenarios with encrypted file-sharing protocols, which is usual in actual modern versions. Other version of the tool is developed in oder to overcome this limitation, basing the detection in traffic patterns instead of in the operations performed by the users. We have compared diffeerent machine learning models in order to find the one that best fits our scenario. Once selected, we have analysed its evolution chronologically emulating real implementation in which the model is updated when new ransomware sample appears. We have updated the model with samples appeared from 2015 to 2021 and the detection efficiency improves training it with every new sample. The traffic traces used in this study have been shared in a public repository, availables for other researchers. There are also available the ransomwares' operation sequences performed on the server stored files.

Este trabajo presenta una propuesta metodológica basada en la gestión de riesgos del patrimonio cultural que permite la identificación de los diversos agentes que lo afectan en el departamento de Sanagasta (La Rioja). A pesar de los procesos de patrimonialización desarrollados en la provincia de la Rioja en los últimos años, hasta el momento se desconocen los principales procesos de alteración que han sufrido los sitios arqueológicos y la proyección de los nuevos agentes turísticos y productivos traerán consigo. Por tanto, el estudio de los diferentes agentes de afectación presentes en el área nos permitirá configurar un mapa de calor con el fin de definir áreas de sensibilidad arqueológica y determinar lo controles y monitoreos necesarios para la preservación, conservación y puesta en valor de los bienes arqueológicos del departamento.
El paisaje fortificado de extremo (Arcos de Valdevez, Portugal). Patrimonializar socialmente
Authors: Blanco-Rotea Rebeca
Published: December 2022

Se presenta un estudio desarrollado en Extremo (Portugal) que tuvo cuatro objetivos: caracterizar su paisaje fortificado desde la arqueología, poner en valor este paisaje, iniciar un proceso de patrimonialización, y ensayar un modelo de gobernanza patrimonial. En el proceso intervinieron conjuntamente una estructura de investigación, una entidad municipal y la sociedad civil. Se pretendía también testar los modelos teórico-metodológicos con los que se había trabajado en otras partes de la frontera gallego-portuguesa y comprobar la validez aquí de un proceso de gobernanza participativa.  Del trabajo conjunto resultó la construcción de una identidad patrimonial basada en elementos de un pasado clave en la historia de Portugal, empleando para ello un recurso audiovisual participado con la comunidad. Los resultados ayudan a entender qué aportan los procesos de patrimonialización en la construcción de identidades colectivas.
Analfabetismo y formación en las cárceles de mujeres durante las dictaduras argentina (1976-1983) y uruguaya (1973-1985): voces, representaciones y silencios en una serie de textos testimoniales desde una lectura comparatista
Authors: Ferreira Paula
Published: December 2022

El artículo se propone analizar el lugar que ocupa la alfabetización desarrollada en diversos complejos carcelarios por presas políticas durante las dictaduras de Argentina (1976-1983) y Uruguay (1973-1985) en una serie de testimonios individuales y colectivos sobre la experiencia de la reclusión publicados por estas mujeres en democracia. Su objetivo es aportar a los estudios sobre la narrativa testimonial carcelaria en la región desde una perspectiva de género que contemple las vivencias particulares de mujeres y militantes de clases subalternas, en este caso, indagando en las formas de transitar el analfabetismo durante el cautiverio. Por tanto, desde un enfoque comparatista que contempla el carácter transnacional de las memorias y que pone en diálogo las producciones testimoniales de ambos países, interesa determinar qué representación tiene el proceso de alfabetización en los textos, qué se describe y qué se omite respecto a estas prácticas de formación en las obras. Asimismo, explora los lugares de enunciación de quienes relatan: las mujeres alfabetizadas, las alfabetizadoras y otras detenidas que presenciaron esas experiencias de formación entre compañeras. Para profundizar el análisis, se incluyen además entrevistas realizadas a expresas políticas que participaron de estos procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje.

Published: December 2022

This investigation was carried out on semen of three Gir bulls at Cattle Breeding Farm, Junagadh (India) for a period of 6 months. The aim was to assess the effect of different concentrations of Curcumin, viz., 0 µM (Control), 5 µM, 10 µM, and 15 µM in Andromed extender on sperm quality along with oxidative stress parameters of cryopreserved semen. Semen ejaculates (n=30, 10/bull) with >70% initial motility were included in the study. Soon after initial evaluation, the semen was extended in Andromed extender @ 80 million sperm per ml and was divided into four equal aliquots. The Curcumin stock solution (10 mM) was added in these aliquots to get a final concentration of 0, 5, 10, and 15 µM and sperm motility was checked. It was soon filled and sealed in medium French straws (0.5 ml), equilibrated at 4°C for 4 h and frozen in LN2 vapour using conventional wide mouth freezer. Thawing of straws was done next day in water bath at 37°C for 30 seconds, and various sperm quality parameters including oxidative markers were assessed. The results showed that supplementation of Curcumin to freezing extender improved semen quality and antioxidant capacity. The post-thaw sperm motility, sperm viability, HOST reactive sperm and acrosomal integrity in semen extended with 15 µM Curcumin concentration (57.33±0.67, 73.20±1.05, 64.77±1.56 and 72.43±1.38 %, respectively) were significantly (p<0.05) higher and sperm abnormality (18.00±0.41%) was significantly (p<0.05) lower as compared to those of control extender and the 5 µM Curcumin group. Mean malondialdehyde (MDA) level in post-thaw seminal plasma did not differ significantly (p>0.05) among the groups, while total antioxidants activity (TAC) with 15 µM Curcumin (476.36±16.52 μmol/L) was significantly (p<0.05) higher as compared to control and 5 µM Curcumin group. It is concluded that Curcumin @ 15 µM in semen extender improves post-thaw sperm quality and antioxidant capacity of cryopreserved Gir bull semen.

Published: December 2022

Vitrification of preantral follicles is a promising technique to preserve female fertility. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation of α-tocopherol in the vitrification solution on the viability, lipid peroxidation and mRNA expression of superoxide dismutases (SOD1 and SOD2) in vitrified cultured ovine preantral follicles at day-6 and day-12. Preantral follicles (200-300 µm) were isolated from the ovine ovaries by the mechanical method and were distributed separately to the vitrification medium supplemented with 10 mM and 20 mM of α-tocopherol.  After a week, the follicles were thawed and analyzed for follicular viability by trypan blue dye exclusion method and subjected to in vitro culture (IVC) for 6 and 12 days. Our results revealed that the significant increase (p<0.05) of viability in 20 mM α-tocopherolsupplemented vitrified group when compared to the vitrified without α-tocopherol group. On day-6 of IVC, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration was significantly(p<0.05) higher in vitrified group without α-tocopherol in comparison to vitrified supplemented with 20 mM of α-tocopherol and control fresh groups. However, no significant difference in MDA content was found among the groups at day-12. The mRNA expression level of SOD1 at day-6 was significantly (p<0.05) higher in vitrified with 20 mM of α-tocopherol and control fresh groups compared to the vitrified without α-tocopherol and with10 mM α-tocopherol groups. The expression pattern of SOD2 was significantly (p<0.05) higher in control fresh group compared to the other groups at day-6 and day-12 of IVC.We conclude that lowering the vitrification-induced lipid peroxidation of preantral follicles by α-tocopherol at 20 mM concentration may be mediated by increasing SOD expression during IVC.

Published: December 2022

The present experiment was planned to ascertain the effect of dietary incorporation of chili (Capsicum annuum) leaf powder on production performance and egg quality parameters of Rhode Island Red laying hens of 28 weeks of age for a period of 12 weeks. Hens were individually weighed and then randomly assigned into four treatment groups with three replicates of 6 birds each viz., T1: (control, containing basal diet); T2: Incorporation of 0.5% chili leaf powder in basal diet; T3: Incorporation of 1.5% chili leaf powder in basal diet; T4: Incorporation of 2.5% chili leaf powder in basal diet. The results indicated that egg production and feed conversion ratio were not significantly affected. However, overall average feed intake significantly (P<0.05) reduced in hens supplemented with 2.5% chili leaf powder. Egg quality parameters viz., egg weight, shape index, shell weight percentage and shell thickness of eggs, egg albumen quality such as albumen height, albumen weight and Haugh unit were statistically similar among all the groups. The egg yolk quality parameters including yolk weight, yolk percentage, yolk index, yolk cholesterol and yolk triglycerides did not differ significantly among different treatment groups, however, egg yolk colour was significantly (P<0.05) improved in T4 group, compared to T1 group. While, egg yolk colour in treatment groups T1, T2 and T3 showed no significant difference. To conclude, supplementation of chilli leaf powder @ 2.5% can be used to improve egg yolk colour.

Published: December 2022

Abstract: The non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ‘atypical mycobacteria’ belonging to species other than those classified in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. NTM species have been reported to cause cross-reactive immune responses that interfere with the diagnosis of tuberculosis in both livestock and wildlife and are considered as potential pathogens for animals and humans. The present study was conducted for detection of non- tuberculous mycobacterial species (NTM) in fecal samples with a history of intermittent diarrhea from cattle and buffaloes. Polymerase Chain Reaction and PRA (PCR-RFLP) was performed on 30 fecal samples collected from cattle and buffaloes of organized dairy farms in Ludhiana, for detection of non - tuberculous mycobacterial species (NTM). In the present studyM. fortuitum was detected in two out of 30 fecal samples by PCR and PCR-RFLP (PRA).

Thallium (Tl) is one of the most toxic heavy metals affecting both humans and animals, yet is one of the least studied for its toxicological effects. A total of 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four Groups with 10 rats in each  Group. Group I received distilled water only and served as a control. Group II, III, and IV received thallium sulfate (I) at 0.48, 0.93, and 1.33 mg/kg body weight, respectively, in drinking water for 90 days. In Group IV rats, lethargy, dehydration, weakness, mild diarrhea, weight loss and 100% morality in male Wistar rat were noted. Group II and III rats showed significant reduction in cholesterol, phosphorus, triglyceride level, and absolute and relative spleen weight. Microscopically, thallium sulfate (I) found to cause lymphoid depletion in white pulp of spleen in all treatment Groups. In kidney of Group IV rats, tubular necrosis, cytoplasmic vacuolation or clearing of tubules, cast, and thrombosis were found. Dose dependent hyperkeratosis was found in non-glandular stomach in all three treated Groups. In conclusion, spleen, kidney and stomach were primarily affected organs in sub-chronic thallium toxicity.

Campylobacter jejuni is more frequently associated with zoonotic bacterial cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in humans. Effective diagnosis of C. jejuni infection in various matrix like foods of animal origin, environment  and human is crucial to maintain public health.  Since molecular diagnosis of C. jejuni carries several advantages over conventional microbial culture techniques, in this study, the limit of detection for the selected virulence genes of C. jejuni (flaA,mapA and hipO) were evaluated to know the suitability of them to be used as molecular diagnostic targets for early detection of C. jejuni by  in- house designed primers  by conventional PCR. Analytical sensitivity of these genes were assessed in terms of  Colony Forming Units (103 CFU/ ml, 102 CFU/ ml, 101 CFU/ ml, 100 CFU/ ml) and DNA concentration (100 ng,10 ng, 1 ng, 100 pg, 10 pg and 1 pg ) of C jejuni  cultures. Results revealed  that the primers targeting flaA have superior limit of detection as 10CFU  and 1pg of C. jejuni DNA. Whereas  mapA and  hipO have 10 CFU; 10 pg DNA and  100 CFU ;10 ng DNA detection limit respectively. Gene mapA  had comparable detection limits in terms of CFU with flaA but found to be less  sensitive  with respect to DNA concentration but hipO has 102 fold lesser limit of  detection.

Mesotheliomas are tumors of low grade malignancy originating from mesothelial cells covering the coelomic cavities such as the pericardium, pleura, peritoneum and vaginal tunic (Seo et al., 2007). The three types of mesotheliomas are epithelial, fibrous (arcomatous) and biphasic (mixed). The epithelial form, which closely resembles the carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, is the most common type of mesothelioma in dogs (Echandi et al., 2007). Pleural effusion is one of the most classical characteristic feature of mesothelioma. They cause minimal tissue invasion and rarely metastasis to other regions (Vural et al., 2007). In addition to viral or genetic factors long term exposure to dusts such as asbestos, iron or silica plays a major role in the pathogenesis of this neoplasm. It is more common in older animals than younger animals (Echandi et al., 2007). The major clinical sign of this condition occurs due to the accumulation of fluid in the body cavities (Seo et al., 2007). The cytological analysis of the fluid helps to determine the cause of pleural effusion and to make rapid diagnosis (Martin  et al., 2011). The morphology of the mesothelial cells are round to polygonal in outline, with anisocytosis, anisokaryosis, pleomorphic multi-nucleated cells, minimal eosinophilic or basophilic cytoplasm, mitosis, loose chromatin, evident nucleoli and ovoid to angulated vesicular nucleus (Martin et al., 2011).

Published: December 2022

El presente artículo se centra en la fábrica histórica de Can Bagaria en Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona. A partir de su contextualización y caracterización constructiva se ejemplifica el momento culmen de la construcción en una época marcada por el auge industrial y la innovación tecnológica que experimenta Cataluña (cambio del s. XIX al s. XX). El desarrollo de las estructuras de hierro y fundición, en combinación con las tradicionales fábricas de ladrillo, llevaron a la gestación de un nuevo tipo arquitectónico porticado, bidireccional e isostático, del cual Can Bagaria representa uno de los ejemplos más evolucionados, tal como se constata a través del análisis de sus componentes estructurales y del conocimiento de sus precedentes tipológicos y tecnológicos.

Az idegennyelv-tanítás célja és tartalma a felsőoktatásban
Authors: Einhorn Ágnes
Published: December 2022

A tanulmány egy kutatás eredményeit foglalja össze, amely 18 idegennyelv-tanítással foglalkozó egyetemi szervezet vezetőjével folytatott interjúra épült. A hallgatók hozzáférése a nyelvtanításhoz a legtöbb intézményben jó. A nyelvtanítási célok tekintetében az egyetemi elvárások a döntőek: több intézményben a fő cél a szükséges nyelvvizsgák megszerzése, másutt a bekerülő nyelvtanulók már a felvételi előtt megszerezték ezeket. A felsőoktatáson belül a nyelvtanítás célja a szaknyelvoktatás, ezt azonban az érintettek különbözően értelmezik. Több intézményben a szaknyelvoktatást komplexen értelmezik, a munkához kapcsolódó nyelvhasználati területek elemzéséhez kapcsolódó kutatásokat is folytatnak, más intézmények inkább nyelviskolának tekintik magukat és/vagy a nyelvvizsga-felkészítésre fókuszálnak. Az intézmények fő jellemzője, hogy próbálnak igazodni a változó környezethez, mindenütt erős törekvés figyelhető meg a hagyományoktól való elszakadásra, ez azonban különböző mértékben történt meg.
'Do you own your freedom?' Reflecting on Cape Town youths' aspirations to be free
Authors: Brown-Luthango Mercy , Van Rooyen Rosca
Published: December 2022

Young people make up half of the world’s population and constitute the majority of the population across the Global South (Cooper et al. 2019). In South Africa, the youth constitute one-third of the country’s population, many of whom belong to the so-called ‘born free’ generation. The ‘born free’ generation typically refers to those who were born after the end of Apartheid, or those who were coming of age after 1994. The youth, particularly in cities of the South, represent an excluded majority in terms of access to meaningful employment and quality living environments.

This article reflects on a research project which used narrative photovoice as a method to engage a group of 13 young people from Mitchell’s Plain, Philippi and Gugulethu; poor marginalised areas in Cape Town. Narrative photovoice combines photography with writing to give participants an opportunity to convey particular stories or issues through their photography. Through a process of co-production and collaboration between academic researchers, a community-based organisation (CBO) called ‘Youth for Change’ and a creative enterprise called ‘noDREAD’productions, the youth were engaged in a creative process using photographs to tell stories about themselves, their communities and the broader city context in which they live.

This article draws on Appadurai’s notion of the ‘capacity to aspire’ to make sense of the aspirations and dreams the participants talk about through their photographs; how they navigate structural, psychological and other factors which impede their aspirations and their freedom, and how they make sense of their everyday realities. The article advances two interlinked arguments: firstly, it makes visible the ‘navigational capacity’ of youth from marginalised neighbourhoods and their capacity to aspire amidst multiple constraints. It does so by illustrating how the youth grapple with the idea and experience of freedom in their everyday life. Secondly, it makes a case for the use of photovoice as a method that is well positioned to (a) capture the visual dimension of youth aspirations and (b) allow for co-production between the different stakeholders.

İnsanlığın tarih boyunca üzerinde önemle durduğu konulardan birisi de sözün gelecek nesillere korunarak aktarılması olmuştur. İnsanlık, geleneklerin, söz ve metinlerin korunması ve geleceğe en doğru şeklide aktarılması için kendi zamanlarının ve şartlarının gereğince bir çözüm bulmaya çalışmıştır. İslam medeniyeti de gerek hadislerin gerek diğer İslâmî rivayetlerin aktarımı konusunda kendi dönemindeki medeniyetlere göre oldukça ileri düzeyde yer almıştır. Batı, başta antik metinler, Reform ve Aydınlanma sonrasında Kitâb-ı Mukaddes metinleri üzerinde birtakım tenkit yöntemleri geliştirmiştir. İçerik tenkidinin bir sonraki adımı olarak görülen bu ileri tenkit yöntemleri tarihsel eleştiri yöntemleri olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Değerlendireceğimiz bu çalışmada yazar, tarihsel eleştiri yöntemlerini, bu yöntemlere yapılan tenkitleri ve İslâmî rivayetlere uygulanması problemini çeşitli yönleriyle ele almaktadır.

Sosyal bir yapı içerisinde yaşayan bireyin kişilik yapısı ve hayata bakış açısı gibi pek çok unsur sosyal çevresi ile etkileşimin etkisinde kalır. Dolayısıyla aynı dönemde yaşamış bireyler o dönemde geçerli olan örf, adet, değer yargıları, kültürel ve sosyal değişimler dolayısıyla kendilerine has nitelikler sergilerler. Eğitim; bireylerin düşünce, tutum ve davranışlarını belirli politik, felsefi amaçlarla şekillendirmek isteyen bir süreç olduğundan nesillerin belirli dönemlere ayrılması eğitiminin içeriğinin ve öğretim yöntemlerinin belirlenmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu durum din eğitimi açısından da geçerlidir. Konuyu din eğitimi açısından güncel bir yaklaşım ile ele alması dolayısıyla bu çalışmada Nesiller Arası Farklılaşma ve Din Eğitimi adlı eserin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
