The Effectiveness of Bi2O3 Apron on Attenuation of X-Ray and Gamma Ray by MCNPX Simulation
Authors: Suryanti Veronika Dyah , Hidayanto Eko , Arianto Fajar
Published: June 2022

Apron is one of the radiation shields, generally the apron used in radiodiagnostic installations is made of lead. However, lead aprons have disadvantages such as toxicity and relatively heavy weight. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate apron materials that are better than lead. This research was conducted by modelling an apron made of Bi2O3 with polyvinyl chloride as a coating and Pb as a standard apron. The used energies are 60, 90 & 120 keV for X-rays, 662 keV for Cs-137 (gamma ray), and 1173 and 1333 keV for Co-60 (gamma rays). The thickness of the radiation barrier is from 0.5 to 4 cm, and the distance of radiation source and detector is 45 cm. Bi2O3 apron geometry modelling was carried out using the MCNPX program. The modelling results show that at X-ray energy of 60 keV, the Bi2O3 apron can replace the Pb apron at a thickness of 1 cm to 4 cm. While at X-ray energy of 90 keV, the Bi2O3 apron can replace the Pb apron at a thickness of 2,5 cm to 4 cm, and at X-ray energy of 120 keV Bi2O3 apron can replace the Pb apron at a thickness of 1,5 cm to 4 cm. From these results it can be seen that the technology apron made from Bi2O3 with polyvinyl chloride as a coating with a certain thickness can be a non-lead radiation shielding material that is more environmentally friendly. But at the gamma energy of Cs-137 of 662 keV, Co-60 of 1173 keV and 1333 keV, Bi2O3 apron cannot replace Pb apron because the absorption of gamma rays is smaller than the absorption of X-rays.

Authors: Parihar Dr. Swarnika , Bhayya Dr. Deepak P. , Kumar Dr. Prabhat
Published: June 2022

Background: One major aspect of child management in the dental set up is managing anxiety, a barrier to oral health care and service provision worldwide. Management involves either in prevention or abolishing fear/anxiety in uncooperative children. Behavior guidance needs to be implemented before the patient enters the dental clinic for the first dental visit. Pre-appointment preparations requires euphemistic approach to convey the treatment information to the children specially the one with poor cognition. So the study aimed to evaluate general dentist's perception in Jabalpur city regarding pre- appointment behavior guidance when dealing with child patients.
Materials & method: A closed-ended questionnaire prepared on Google format was send to general dentists practicing in Jabalpur city, to take their perception on pre-appointment behavior guidance when dealing with children who come for dental care at their dental office.
Results: Out of 209 general dentists, 129 participants treat children in their set up. Majority of general dentists believed that pre- appointment behaviour modification of the child helps in achieving positive behavior in the operatory. The most frequent means of reducing the anxiety of child before treatment as told by the practitioner was you tube video option (21.7%). Results also revealed that the post graduate participants were better aware about the pre- appointment behavior guidance than the graduate participants.
Conclusion: Pre- appointment behaviour guidance for the child helps to alleviate patient’s anxiety and fear, delivering our services in a better and thereby instilling positive dental attitude in children. Educational programs should be planned for general dentists to improve their knowledge and skills in providing treatment to children.

Keywords: Pre-appointment behaviour guidance, behavior guidance, pre- appointment preparations.
Synchronization of Outsourcing Arrangements in Employment Law with Human Rights and Ratification of the International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
Authors: Nurhayati Siti , Medaline Onny , Wahyuni Emi
Published: June 2022

Law No.13 of 2003 on Employment is reaping problems. There has been much controversy and assessment that the outsourcing arrangements in the Labor Act constitute a violation of human rights and violate labor rights, much to the approson of those who disagree with the passage of this act. Because of this assessment the implication is that there are many rejections including through demonstrations and pressures especially from outsourced workers to remove the system of contract workers for a short period of time (outsourcing). And after going through the assessment, anilysis and discussion on Law No.13 of 2003 on Employment finally came to the conclusion that the articles governing outsourcing in Law No.13 of 2003 on Employment there was a misalignment both horizontally and vertically with Article 8, Article 11, Article 38 of Law No. 39 of 1999 on Human Rights and Article 7 of Law No. 11 of 2005 on Ratification of the International Covenant on Economic Rights, Social and Cultural. There must be special regulations or regulations that are more detailed, responsive and objective in outsourcing arrangements, so that later there must be understanding and understanding between the Government, Employers and Workers / Workers in terms of the establishment of regulations that specifically regulate socially equitable outsourcing for all Indonesian people.

Association Between High Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Elderly People Based on Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Karolinska Sleepiness Scale after Exposure to Low Frequency Whole Body Vibration
Authors: Jayanti Luh Putu Widhyapsari , Aditya Permadi Ngakan Gde , Indrasari Utami Desak Ketut
Published: June 2022

Background: The most common symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).
Aim: To look for the high risk of OSA in the elderly population and its association with increased Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and Karolinska sleepiness scale (KSS) scores after exposure with low-frequency whole body vibration (LFWBV).
Method: This study used a one group pretest-post test design. Subjects examined for Snoring Score (SS), ESS and KSS scores, after which subjects were given exposure to LFWBV and examined for post-exposure KSS scores.
Results: There were more elderly people who have a high risk of OSA. The ESS score showed a non-significant relationship between high risk of OSA and the incidence of EDS based on an increase in ESS score (r 0.401; p value 0.064) and the degree of sleepiness based on the KSS score after LFWBV exposure (r 0.296; p value 0.181), although ESS scores were higher in the group with high risk of OSA (mean score 4.85; p value 0.003).
Discussion: The results of this study are consistent with several other studies which show no significant correlation between high risk of OSA and increased ESS scores. LFWBV does provide comfort and increases the degree of sleepiness in subjects with or without a high risk of OSA.
Conclusion: Older age increases the risk of OSA, but does not cause EDS. LFWBV caused an increase in the degree of sleepiness, both the high-risk and non-high-risk OSA groups.

Keywords: Obstructive sleep apnea, Epworth sleepiness scale, whole body vibration, Karolinska sleepiness scale.

Authors: ER Zuhal , ATES Doguhan
Published: June 2022

Demands for energy saving and emission reduction, and due to the restrictions imposed by the authorities, as well as most of new designs in the maritime field is oriented towards renewable energy sources. Solar energy and energy storage systems may a solution to the pollution problems, reducing CO2, SOX and NOX emissions and improving the ship's energy efficiency. Battery technologies emerge as a promising method to increase it. In this study, the recent electric ship markets have been examined with these respects.

Furthermore, this study has aimed presentation of considered new design Electric Battery Sea Cab which is under aware of the requirements in practical applications. We believe that the sea cab as a public transportation or barge ship with the use of renewable energy sources will save emission of the harmful gases from the sea vehicles and the amount of energy consumed. In this project, the considered cab is 14,95 meters long and 4 meters wide. Considering the average resistance value for 16 knots speed, it has examined that the motor to be used should provide approximately 200 HP power. Studies obtained the possibility to produce a public transportation vehicle that is both environmentally friendly and less costly by using renewable energy systems for sea cab. Our evaluations provide that it is inevitable that the use of photovoltaic (PV) panels with 30 times less carbon footprint compared to fuel will become wide spread and be preferred to energies that can be consumed over time. Consequently, the results of this study also service that alternative in ship technology information on the use of energy systems is provided. In addition, the new considered cab which represents showing that battery electrical ship can be achieved shall be interesting to the future focuses of the representatives of the maritime sector.

Published: June 2022

Background: Limestone primarily consists of CaCO3 (calcium carbonate), which have a similarity to one of human bone component, hydroxyapatite (HA), an element of apatite group (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2). There were several setbacks in the use of artificial hydroxyapatite in the bone repair process; one of them was its relatively higher crystallinity level compared to those of human bone apatite. The addition of carbonate element to hydroxyapatite could improve its characteristics, such as increasing the solubility, decreasing the crystallinity, and changing the morphology of the crystal. That caused carbonate hydroxyapatite is preferable to help in the bone repair process. Aims: This study aimed to find the effect of limestone-based CHA on viability and proliferation of hUMSCs, thus discovering the potential of CHA as a bone graft biomaterial candidate derived from limestone. Methods: This study used FTIR, EDX, and XRD assays to CHA powder sample derived from limestone found in Padalarang and Cirebon extracted by BBK. Two grams of the sample were placed in the sample holder and examined by computer software. EDX assay was conducted three times in three different points, and the means were recorded. In the XRD assay, a carbon tip was put to the sample holder to allow sample attachment. The recorded data was compared to JCPDS data. Toxicity and proliferation examination of CHA were conducted through MTT assay in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUCMSC) cell lines with four different doses: 50µg/ml, 25µg/ml, 12,5µg/ml, and 6,25µg/ml. Results: Limestone-based CA has hydroxyl (OH-), phosphate (PO42-), and carbonate (CO32-) functional groups. It has crystal particle formation and consists of O, Ca, and P elements. The result of the MTT assay showed limestone-based CHA is not toxic in all concentrations and has the proliferative ability. There were significant differences between the control and treatment groups. Conclusion: CHA has OH-, PO42-, and CO32- function group. It has crystal particle formation and O, Ca, and P elements as its composition, with a Ca/P ratio of 1,67. It shows no toxicity to hUCMSC in all doses and has the ability to stimulate hUCMSC proliferation.

Published: June 2022

Background: A pharmacist is a professional who dispenses medicines, counsels patients, and advises health care stakeholders on the rational use of medicines. The study is therefore an attempt to determine the awareness about the pharmacy profession among stakeholders. Material methods: This is an exploratory and descriptive study, designed to describe and explore the Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception (KAP) of the role of a pharmacist in the compounding, dispensing, and labeling of drugs. The statements included in the questionnaire were largely based on the guidelines issued by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). Questionnaires were randomly provided to clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, public, and patients. The questionnaire was then taken back and kept for analysis of response. 514 stakeholders participated in the study. The results are expressed as percentages and frequencies. Results: All stakeholders agreed that during compounding, dispensing, and labeling, pharmacists ensure that drug products should match the prescription and appropriately compounded, packed, and labeled. All stakeholders except nurse (99%) agreed that during compounding, dispensing and labeling pharmacist ensure that drug product is within the expiry date. 34.9% of patients agreed that while dispensing the drug to the patient/attendants, appropriate information on drugs is given by the pharmacist. Conclusion: The present study reveals that clinicians and nurses do not have sufficient confidence on the supportive role of a pharmacist in the health care team for better patient care. The pharmacist also needs to work proactively and through his knowledge, expertise and skills generate confidence amongst the patient and health workers that he can perform his expanded role effectively and thus promote patient health
Lipid based Vehicles and Lipid-based Excipients in Drug delivery
Authors: Santra Soma , Biswas Majee Sutapa
Published: June 2022

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the use of formulations containing lipid-based excipients that comprise combinations of synthetic or semisynthetic lipids with surfactants, co-surfactants or co-solvents. This review is generally focussed on lipid-based excipients in pharmaceutical formulations which improves the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Lipid-based formulations can reduce the limitations of slow and incomplete dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs, and facilitate the formation of solubilised phases from which absorption may occur. The improvement of bio-availability of drugs is one of the greatest challenges in drug formulations. This review discusses novel lipids like Compritol 888 ATO, Dynasan 114, Glyceryl monooleate (GMO), Maisine CC and Precirol ATO 5 focussing on how these can be employed for devising efficient drug delivery systems and also the in vivo effect and fate of lipid excipients.
The Perio-Ortho Consortium: A Review

Published: June 2022

Orthodontic tooth movement in periodontally involved dentition gives rise to a scenario quite different from routine orthodontics. Healthy and sound periodontium is a pre-requisite for successful orthodontic treatment. Proper reinforcement of good oral hygiene practises prior to and during the entire period of orthodontic treatment, may reduce the inflammatory lesion found during therapy. The intricate relationship between periodontics and orthodontics has been extensively researched over the years. Orthodontic therapy may serve as a treatment modality to correct occlusal relationship and alter bone deformities, when there is significant destruction of tooth supporting structures due to periodontal disease and secondary occlusal trauma is also involved. Higher chances of plaque accumulation in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and also undesirable periodontal changes during or after orthodontic treatment requires the involvement of periodontist for immediate attention and management. The perio-ortho treatment outcome can be determined by a number of different factors such as esthetics, function, biomechanical considerations and periodontal prognosis. A stable and esthetically acceptable result following orthodontic treatment can be achieved by adjunctive periodontal procedures. A detailed and well articulated interaction between the periodontist and orthodontist can ensure excellent results with long term stability. The present review focuses on the outcomes of periodontal and orthodontic symbiotic approach on the overall treatment results and also the novel techniques for periodontally facilitated orthodontic treatment.

SGLT2 is newly classified anti-diabetic drug, it is highly selective novel approach for type –II diabetes patients because it as low affinity to plasma proteins and high capacity transport of glucose protein compared to SGLT1. Empagliflozin is highly selective for SGLT2, which is sold under the brand name of Jardiance it is mainly recommended for type II DM. The studies have proven that empagliflozin shows both Cardio protective and Reno protective effects and well established for the management of weight loss in diabetes mellitus. Pharmacokinetic studies are well achieved and shown no major drug interactions and less side effects. SGLT2 inhibitors have given novel approach about orally administered drug and more or less this can benefit the patients for easy life style without leading to further complications.
Comparison of Least Squares and Principal Components Regression Analysis

Published: June 2022

The aim of this study is to compare Least Squares Regression (LSR) and Principal Components Regression (PCR) results when multicollinearity is determined in a dataset.In order to examine the effect of the degree of multicollinearity in the study, 10 datasets with different levels of multicollinearity were derived. Each data set consists of three independent and one dependent variable, and the variables were derived from the standard normal distribution. The multicollinearity status in the derived data has been demonstrated by the commonly used metrics to determine multicollinearity. Least Squares and Principal Components Regression was applied to all datasets.

When generating multicollinearity, all relationships were defined as positive in data simulation. However, the sign of the regression coefficients for the second (X2) and third (X3) independent variables were obtained as reverse (negative) as one of the expected effects of multicollinearity in Least Squares analysis. In the analysis of the Principal Components Regression, the sign of coefficients was found to be in the right direction (positive). The sign of the coefficients obtained from OLS and PCR were different and they also differed in magnitude. In addition, the standard errors of the coefficients in PCR results were lower than OLS results.

The existence of multicollinearity must be examined while performing multiple linear regression analysis, and if multicollinearity is determined, one of the methods that can solve this situation should be used. Otherwise, the estimations to be made as a result of regression may lead to wrong results. In line with the results of this study, it is recommended to use Principal Components Regression instead of Least Squares regression in case of multicollinearity in the data.

Structural inequities contribute to food systems in which tribal communities in the U.S. are more likely to experience barriers to healthy food access, including financial barriers, lack of geographic proximity, or both. Food sovereignty movements improve food access by shifting power to local people to build food systems that support cultural, social, economic, and environmental needs. Finan­cial incentive programs, including produce pre­scription programs, have emerged as a promising intervention to improve food access and support food sovereignty. This case study describes the implementation of two federally funded produce prescription programs (Produce Prescription Pro­jects or PPR) under the U.S. Department of Agri­culture (USDA) Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incen­tive Program (GusNIP) in two rural tribal communities: the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta region in Alaska, and the Navajo Nation, which spans parts of New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. We illus­trate how PPR can be tailored to accommodate local and diverse cultures, strengthen community power, and be uniquely suited for the challenges of increasing access to nutritious food in rural tribal communities. We also highlight recommendations and future areas of research that may be useful for other rural tribal communities implementing PPR.

Comparativism or What We Talk about When We Talk about Comparing
Authors: Hutchinson Ben
Published: June 2022

In this essay, I suggest that the study of comparative literature is subject to the same distorting pressures as the study of the Orient. “Comparativism,” as I call it, is like orientalism: both a description and a distortion. Constructing its critique in the process of comparing, it inherits deep foundations of historical, cultural, and geographical prejudgment. As with Said’s orientalism, the cornerstone of this construction is West-Eastern (and North-Southern) paternalism, but it is far from the only building block: other obstacles include predetermined views of genre, medium, and even language. There is little, in fact, that is not grist to the will of Western-educated critics. Eastern comparative methodologies, however, are no more innocent of power struggles than their Western counterparts; for one thing, the structural role of empire is shared by both West and East. Simply replacing one hemisphere with another will hardly recalibrate our critical compasses; wherever we are looking from, partiality of perspective is inevitable. The question, then, is whether comparativism constructs itself diversely in diverse circumstances, or whether its prejudices remain essentially the same despite the changing details of time and place. It is a matter, in other words, of the old comparative contest between similarity and difference. What do we talk about when we talk about comparing?
Comparative Mobilities
Authors: Behdad Ali , Thomas Dominic
Published: June 2022

This essay explores recent incursions into comparative modalities and highlights how global comparative literature better reflects the ways in which borders and mobility have become defining elements of the 21st century. However, the humanities remain under attack. Recent openings towards decolonizing the curriculum and strengthening synergies between various social justice approaches may prove fruitful in coordinating defenses. Today, economic and historical circumstances are such that it has become increasingly hard to think of literary traditions in monolithic terms since globalization has dramatically transformed the circulation of literary works. In our understanding, a comparativist is not necessarily invested either in demonstrating the intrinsic connections between cultural or literary objects as traditional practitioners of comparative literature have been, or committed to disclosing incommensurable differences, as postcolonial comparativists have been. Instead, the comparative frame of mind is defined by the fundamental insight that any cultural product or production is inherently heterogeneous and hence requires no external object of comparison. Put otherwise, a comparative frame of mind does not require the co-presence of two or more cultural or literary archives in practicing comparative literature, for any single object can be read in relation to, or even against, its own context. Likewise, languages are not, and should not be considered monolithic entities. Rather, they are historical containers, mobile vessels that transport perpetually evolving references and symbols across borders, the portals and vectors that allow for multi-dimensional cultural and linguistic expression. We therefore argue that the persistent privileging of multi-lingual fluency as the raison d’être of comparative literature needs to be relinquished, and that instead one needs to embrace the idea that one can be a comparatist within a single language. In other words, we argue that comparison is as relevant within diverse national traditions as it is between them.
Contrapuntal Comparison
Authors: Damrosch David
Published: June 2022

The Eurocentrism of Comparative Literature has meant that non-European literary texts have been studied through either vague universalism or imperialist exoticism. What can correct, or complement, such orientalist knowledge is contrapuntal reading with local knowledge, to tackle cultural difference not as an anomaly but a fact to be analytically accommodated. Engaging previous theoretical work in literary studies and anthropology that have struggled with the Eurocentric foundations of scholarly disciplines, this paper presents a sample of contrapuntal reading by examining the 1976 English translation of Kālidāsa’s Meghadūta, rendered by Leonard Nathan, in the light of the 9th-century scholar Anandavardhana’s Dhvanyaloka and the extended commentary written by his follower Abhinavagupta. This comparative sample clarifies how contrapuntal reading with local knowledge can balance Eurocentric and orientalist readings of non-Western literary traditions.
Comparative Criticism beyond Eurocentrism: In Search of the Untranslatables of Literary Theory
Authors: Beebee Thomas O.
Published: June 2022

While the study of world literature is often seen as escaping the boundaries of eurocentrism—albeit with the need for constant revision and self-critique—a truer overcoming would involve another sort of anthologization, namely, of world theory and criticism. World literature should go beyond being a reified collection of translated texts, to become an exploration and comparison of the different ways of thinking about literature and aesthetics in different parts of the world. Barbara Cassin’s Vocabulaire Européen des philosophies: Dictionnaire des intraduisibles provides a possible model in this regard. The untranslatability of critical terms from different traditions is generative of new meanings due to the repeated efforts to translate and to compare non-synonymous terms with each other. This essay examines the untranslatability and comparability of several different terms from Asian aesthetic traditions.

INCIDENCIA DE LA ALTERIDAD FAMILIAR EN EL DESARROLLO DE CONDUCTAS VIOLENTAS EN TIEMPOS DE COVID 19.
Authors: Carrillo Eliana Palacios
Published: June 2022

La realidad actual establece la necesidad de analizar como incide la alteridad familiar en el desarrollo de la violencia desde la articulación de una nueva forma de vida enmarcada en la pandemia por COVID-19, a través de develar los elementos que inciden para el desarrollo de la violencia, como una representación de los nuevos escenarios de vida cotidiana y en lo que se percibe mayor participación producto del confinamiento social. En este sentido, se debe tener en cuenta que la condición social del hombre tiene un asiento filosófico que dicta unas reglas en cuanto a la conducta y el comportamiento que debe llevar para su armonía en vida social, aunque en ocasiones la convivencia se enfrenta al desequilibrio o conflicto, el cual puede resolverse de manera pacífica o violenta, pero que de forma aislada no puede negarse que coexisten ambas situaciones. Ante ello, se percibe una realidad distinta producto del confinamiento donde las familias han tenido que reinventarse para dar paso a nuevas formas de configuración producto de asegurar su alimentación y esto ha traído como consecuencia el desarrollo de nuevas formas de violencia entre la familia despertando la necesidad de que exista una política de interacción pública para solventar la situación.

Published: June 2022

Embora a Constituição Federal de 1988 contemple no seu Art. 5º a igualdade de todos, sem distinção de qualquer natureza, na prática, o referido comando está distante de produzir os resultados almejados. Com ênfase na educação, apesar de ser inegável ter havido um progresso rumo à consecução da “igualdade de oportunidades” entre os indivíduos, esse progresso não conseguiu ser perene. Nessa perspectiva, nos últimos anos, se testemunha o desmantelamento das políticas públicas voltadas para educação, que pode ser vislumbrado, por exemplo, na PEC do “Teto de Gastos” e no movimento “Escola sem Partido”. Eis que, em 2020, o cenário de desigualdade social é aprofundado dentro do ambiente escolar, agora em virtude do surgimento da pandemia do covid-19. Nesse sentido, a suspensão das aulas presenciais – que, reflexamente, levou à adoção do modelo de ensino remoto – desconsiderou àqueles estudantes alheios ao mundo digital, por força da escassez de recursos financeiros. Ciente dessa premissa, a presente pesquisa, adotando o método de abordagem dedutivo e os métodos de procedimento histórico e explicativo, visa descortinar a situação atual da educação brasileira, apontando os diagnósticos e os prognósticos que podem ser destacados com o acontecimento do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio de 2020, e com a previsão da realização da prova também em 2021.

Authors: Souza Júnior Xisto Serafim de Santana de
Published: June 2022

O turismo vem se constituído como uma das principais alternativas de desenvolvimento territorial para os municípios brasileiros, especialmente nos setores litorâneos devido aos benefícios climáticos que favorecem a difusão do turismo de praia, apesar das diversidades paisagísticas e culturais encontradas nos municípios interioranos à exemplo de Campina Grande devido a sua influência no contexto do desenvolvimento regional conforme resultados da pesquisa desenvolvida entre 2018-2022 com financiamento do CNPq, a qual teve por objetivo identificar os desafios para consolidação do turismo na região geográfica de Campina Grande a partir da identificação dos municípios inseridos nessa região por terem atributos que os qualifique como reais e potenciais. Os procedimentos adotados pautaram-se na aplicação de questionários, preenchimento de inventários, realização de entrevista e análise empírica. A pesquisa constatou que a produção do espaço turístico no Estado da Paraíba esteja passando por um processo de interiorização seguindo, portanto, um sentido contrário ao evidenciado na realidade regional.

Published: June 2022

The present study established a new dual-phase biological system for electricity production from potato waste (PW). During the initial phase, commercially available glucoamylase was used to make hydrolysis of PW to generate PW hydrolysate. Results revealed that a hundred g PW could generate 30 g hydrolysis solid and 750 ml PW hydrolysate. During the second phase, the soluble PW hydrolysate was used to feed for electricity production from microbial fuel cell (MFC). The highest voltage of 1.1 V was achieved. The power density attained the highest amount of 93 mW/m3 at the external resistance was 1091 ?. Coulombic efficiency of 20% was obtained to evaluate MFC performance. This might be possibly used to convert high starch compounds into biofuel generation that might cut the cost of commercial biofuel generation.

İsmayıl Hakkı Baltacıoğlu'nun Unutulmuş Romanı Batak
Authors: KULA Fikri
Published: June 2022

İsmayıl Hakkı Baltacıoğlu (1886-1978) pedagojiden sosyolojiye, felsefeden sanata birçok konuda eser neşretmiş fikir ve sanat adamıdır. 1910’da pedagoji araştırmaları için Avrupa’ya gidişi onun hayatında dönüm noktalarındandır. Avrupa’daki tecrübelerinin yeni ufuklar açmasıyla sonraki yaşamını âdeta pedagojiye adayan Baltacıoğlu, 1911’de yurda döner dönmez eğitim sisteminde yapılan yeniliklerin öncüsü olur. Avrupa’nın eğitim kurumlarındaki yöntemleri kendi ülkesine uyarlamaya çalışıp uyguladığı yenilikleri de yazıları ve konferanslarıyla yaymaya çabalar. İçtimaî Mektep adlı pedagoji alanındaki temel eserinde “şahsiyet pedagojisi” anlayışına dayalı yeni bir eğitim modeli kurar. Talim ve Terbiyede İnkılâp, Toplu Tedris, Rüyamdaki Okullar, Pedagojide İhtilâl gibi eserleriyle de pedagoji alanında hizmetler yapar. Düşünceleri ve eserleriyle kendinden sonrakilere kaynaklık eden Baltacıoğlu, uzun yıllar boyunca Yeni Adam dergisini çıkararak ideal bir nesil için çalışır. İdealindeki “Yeni Adam” tipinin oluşması adına birçok konu ve türde eser verir. Eğitimde tiyatronun önemli bir işlevi olduğunu düşünen Baltacıoğlu, tiyatro hakkında teorik eserler yazmanın yanında birçok oyun kaleme alır. Dergiciliği ve tiyatroculuğunun yanı sıra deneme ve hikâyeler yazan Baltacıoğlu’nun tek romanı ise Batak adını taşır. Yazıldığı tarihten bugüne fazla ilgi görmeyen Batak, Baltacıoğlu’nun eğitimci kişiliğini yansıtması ve biyografik unsurlar içermesi açısından önemli bir romandır. Bu çalışmada yazarın hatıralarından ve pedagojik çalışmalarından hareketle hayatının ve eğitimci kişiliğinin Batak romanına nasıl yansıdığı incelenecektir.
