NYAYAS MENTIONED IN CHIKITSA STHANA OF CHARAKA SAMHITA: A CRITICAL REVIEW
Authors: Dnyaneshwar Thutte Manisha , M Gahunge Pankaj , S Lendikar Ashvini
Published: December 2024

In Ayurveda, Ancient Ayurvedic knowledge is only in the form of Sutras (Sanskrit verses).To make ordinary people understand the hidden meaning of these verses, our Acharyas, especially the commentators, have adopted the
application of Nyayas(Maxims)as one of the most relevant methods. Chakrapani, the famous commentator of
Charak Samhita, has quoted various maxims in his Ayurved Dipika commentary. Keeping this in view, an attempt
is made in the present study to trace out the multiple references of Nyayas mentioned in Charak Samhita Chikitsa
Sthana. This Review article highlights the references of Nyaya mentioned in the Chikitsa Sthana of Charak Samhita.
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF MOOKHADOOSHIKA (ACNE VULGARIS) W.R.T DOOSHIVISHA – A CASE REPORT
Authors: Chiniwar Anuja.S. , Madar Shraddha
Published: December 2024

“Acne is not physically debilitating; it’s more so emotionally debilitating” Acne vulgaris is a chronic condition affecting more than 85% of adolescents and two-thirds of adults aged 18 years and older. It is a chronic inflam-matory disease of pilosebaceous units, characterised by seborrhea, open and closed comedones, papules, pus-tules, and, in more severe cases, nodules, pseudocysts and scarring. Acne is associated with more significant psychological burdens. In Ayurveda, acne symptoms resemble Mookhadooshika, mentioned under Kshudra ro-ga. Vitiation of Kapha Dosha, Vata Dosha and Rakta Dhatu lead to the development of Mukhadushika. The prevalence of this disease is increasing day by day, especially in the youth, and this can be attributed to various factors like continuous and long-term use of oil base cosmetic products, irregular sleeping patterns, irregular eat-ing patterns, excessive mental stress, and excessive intake of junk food/ fried food. Today’s lifestyle exposes people to poisons directly or indirectly. These poisons enter the body, stay in the body, and are aggravated when favourable conditions occur. Such poison in Ayurveda is termed as “Dushivisha”. Leading to Rakta Dusti. An 18-year-old female patient presented with complaint of Pidaka (Paules and Pustules) on their face, including Kandu (itching), Daha (Burning sensation), Medogarbhatva (Filling material), Vaivarnya (Discolouration) asso-ciated with irregular bowel and recurrent comedones in the past one year with these complaints’ patient ap-proached Our Speciality Skin OPD, SBG Ayurvedic medical college and hospital, Belagavi, Karnataka, the pa-tient was treated with OPD basis.

Cerebellar tonsillar ectopia is where the cerebellar tonsils protrude through the foramen magnum, often causing
neurological symptoms. In this case, the patient mainly complained of weakness in both lower limbs, difficulty
while walking, and lower body balance. Diagnosis of this case was challenging, but after the study of MRI of
the cervical and dorsal spine, the case was diagnosed as Cerebellar tonsillar herniation. She was given Ayurveda
medication internally, and Panchakarma procedures were done at the IP level. Throughout the entire course of
treatment, physiotherapy was also done. There was a marked improvement in the symptoms, which helped her
improve her quality of life.
UTILIZATION OF YOGARAJA GUGGULU RASAYANA COMBINED WITH
EXTERNAL THERAPIES IN KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS: A CASE SERIES STUDY
Authors: Kamath T Shrilatha , K Veerakumara , Y Shailesh
Published: December 2024

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Ayurveda treatments in managing Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms,
including pain, stiffness, and functional impairment. Methods: Four patients with bilateral knee OA underwent
treatment at SDM Ayurveda Hospital, Udupi. The regimen included external therapies—Veshtana with
Vishagarbha Taila and Matra Basti with Panchatikta Guggulu Ghrita—and a 38-day Yogaraja Guggulu
Rasayana course with a gradually increasing dosage. The WOMAC scale assessed pain, stiffness, and physical
function outcomes. Results: Significant symptomatic relief was observed in the patients with reduced WOMAC
scores. These results suggest that the combined Ayurvedic approach may effectively manage knee Osteoarthritis
symptoms. Conclusion: In conjunction with external Ayurvedic treatments, Rasayana therapy showed promise in
managing knee Osteoarthritis symptoms. However, more extensive sample studies must confirm these
interventions’ applicability and effectiveness.
İçeriden Kürt Aktivist Bir Araştırmacının Gözüyle Feminist Konumlanma: Bilimsel Objektiviteye Meydan Okuma
Authors: Azizoglu-bazan Münevver
Published: December 2024

Feminist araştırma süreçleri bilimsel bir araştırmanın, araştırmacının ilgi, istek, ihtiyaç ve korkularından bağımsız olarak düşünülemeyeceğini açıklıkla ortaya koydu. Buna bağlı olarak araştırma sorularının yanı sıra araştırmacının öznelliğinin ve kişisel deneyimlerinin araştırma sürecine etkisinin göz ardı edilemeyecek denli önemli olduğu görüldü. Feminist araştırma, metodolojik öncül olarak araştırılan kişileri “nesne” değil, “özne” olarak; araştırmacıyı da “objektif ve tarafsız” değil, “etkilenen ve konumlanmış” olarak tanımlar. Bu feminist konumlandırmanın araştırmaya yansıyan doğrudan etkileri söz konusudur. Bu çalışma, araştırma sürecinin yöntemsel ve kavramsal çerçevesini feminist epistemoloji ışığında değerlendirerek araştırmacının öznelliği ve özdüşünümselliğinin, saha deneyimleri ve elde edilen veriler üzerindeki etkilerini tartışmaktadır. Makale Almanya’daki Kürt Kadın Hareketi’nde yer alan kadın aktivistlerin güçlenme deneyimlerini incelediğim doktora çalışmamın saha araştırması esnasında yaşadığım deneyimler, gözlem protokolleri ve araştırma günlüklerine dayanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırmacı ile araştırma konusu, araştırmacı ile araştırılan arasındaki ilişkide ortaya çıkan (yeni) bağlamları, gerilimleri, duygulanımları ve bunların araştırmaya etkisini irdelemektedir. Bu çerçevede “üçüncü göz” metaforu, hem araştırmacının hem de katılımcıların deneyimlerinin anlaşılması ve anlamlandırılması açısından kritik bir araç olarak öne çıkmaktadır.
Kanonun Eril Tahakkümüne Feminist Müdahaleler: Shigeko Kubota ve Şükran Moral’in Sanatçı Bedenlerinde Kadınlık Söyleminin ve ‘Meşru’ Estetiğin Sorgulanması
Authors: Arslan Tuğçe
Published: December 2024

Kanon ve kanonlaşma pratiği eril bakış ve onun görsel kültürdeki tahakkümü üzerine inşa edilmiştir. Kadın sanatçıyı ve eserini kendi inşasının çeperinde bırakan kanon, 1960’lı yıllar itibarıyla görsel alanda feminizm ile karşı karşıya gelmiştir. Bu tarihten itibaren feminist bir jestle performatif üretimler gerçekleştiren kadın beden sanatçıları, yeni bir kanon oluşturamasalar bile söylemsel ve görsel kanonla mücadele noktasında bir karşı tavır olarak kanonla ilişkilenmişlerdir. Bu makale, kanon kavramını feminist teoriyle yeniden okumaya almakta, kavramın gücü ve etkisinin marjinalize edilen kadın sanatçı ve onun eseri üzerinde nasıl bir baskı kurduğunu incelemektedir. Bu incelemede, eril söylem ve imge kültürüne tezat üretimler gerçekleştiren Shigeko Kubota ve Şükran Moral’in pratikleri, kanonla feminizmin karşılaşması noktasında değerlendirilmektedir. Kubota ve Moral farklı coğrafyalarda ve zamanlarda kanonla savaşım konusunda ortaklıkları bulunan iki sanatçıdır. Türkiye’de 1990’lı yıllarda feminist üretimler gerçekleştiren Moral, Kubota’nın başvurduğu şekilde kadın bedenini kadınlık meselelerinin tartışmaya açıldığı bir mecraya dönüştürmüş, bu tartışmada görsel ve geleneksel söylemdeki kanonik yapılanmaya karşı bir duruşu sergilemiştir.
Türkiye’nin Sığınmacılara Yönelik Uyum Politikalarındaki Toplumsal Cinsiyet Körlüğünün Ankara’da Yaşayan Suriyeli Kadınların Deneyimleri Üzerinden Analizi
Authors: Utar Sibel
Published: December 2024

Türkiye'nin küresel göç haritasındaki konumu 2011 yılında başlayan Suriye İç Savaşı'nın ardından büyük bir dönüşüme uğramış ve Türkiye 2014 yılında dünyada en fazla mülteciye ev sahipliği yapan ülke durumuna gelmiştir. Suriyeli sığınmacıların ülkelerine geri dönme eğilim ve ihtimallerinin azaldığının politika yapıcılar tarafından kabulüyle birlikte 2016 yılından itibaren uyum politikaları geliştirilmeye başlanmıştır. Türkiye’nin Suriyeli sığınmacılara yönelik uyum politikalarını feminist bir bakış açısıyla incelemeyi amaçlayan bu çalışmanın temel iddiası Türkiye’nin uyum politikalarının toplumsal cinsiyet körü bir niteliğe sahip olduğudur. Çalışmanın ana hedefi Suriyeli sığınmacı nüfusunun neredeyse yarısını oluşturan kadınların Türkiye’de yaşadığı toplumsal cinsiyet temelli sorunları görmezden gelen uyum politikalarındaki cinsiyet körü yaklaşımın Suriyeli kadınların eğitim, sağlık ve işgücüne erişimlerini nasıl etkilediğini analiz etmektir. Bu doğrultuda Ankara’da ikamet eden 14 Suriyeli sığınmacı kadın ile yarı-yapılandırılmış mülakat tekniği kullanılarak yapılan nitel araştırmanın bulguları kullanılmıştır. Saha bulguları mevcut uyum politikalarının Suriyeli kadınların hem sığınmacılık statüsünden hem de kadınlık konumlarından dolayı maruz kaldıkları baskı, sömürü ve ayrımcılığı azaltmadığını göstermektedir. Dahası Suriyeli kadınların kaderini ataerkil gelenek ve normların tahakkümüne bırakan bu politikalar, Türkiye’deki Suriyeli sığınmacı kadınların savunmasız ve bağımlı konumlarını pekiştirmektedir.
Akademisyen Kadınların Otantiklik Algıları Üzerine Varoluşçu Fenomenolojik Bir Analiz
Authors: Onay Coker Duygu
Published: December 2024

Bu yazı, Simone de Beauvoir’nın otantiklik kavramını, filozofun felsefi metinlerinden, otobiyografilerinden ve romanlarındaki karakterlerinden hareketle kavrayarak, yine Beauvoircı bağlamdaki inotantik ya da romantik ilişkinin kadınlar açısından ne minvalde bir baskılanma deneyimi yarattığını açığa çıkarmayı ve akademisyen kadınların deneyimlerinde aramayı amaçlamaktadır. Filozofun otantiklik kavramı, bedenli özneler olarak kadınların varoluşlarının temellendirilmesinde, kendi-için olabilen, verili anlamları sorgulayabilen, özgürlüğünün ve sorumluluğunun öznesi olabilen bir bağlama gönderme yapar. Bu çalışma, Beauvoir’nın temel meselesi olan, kadınların özgürlüğü ve anlam kurucu olmaları nosyonunu, katılımcıların entelektüel yükü yoğun işleriyle ve evlilik deneyimleriyle eş zamanlı düşünerek, kendilik algılarında ve ilişkilerinde otantikliğin deneyimlenmesinin olanağını tartışmaya açmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, analizde elde edilen anlatıların iki yönlü olduğu tespit edilmiştir: Katılımcılar bir yandan evliliklerinde ikincilleştirildiklerinin farkında olduklarına dair anlatılar paylaşırken, diğer yandan dönüşlü ve eleştirel düşünme pratiklerinin, akademiye özgü yazma ve yaratıcılık deneyimleriyle ilintisini açığa çıkartıp, kendiliklerini Beauvoircı aşkınlık ve otantiklik kavramlarına oldukça yakın bağlamda betimlemektedirler.
Trying to Comprehend Physicians’ Feelings and Behaviors toward Sex and Gender Minorities in Terms of Improving Minorities’ Access to Healthcare Services
Authors: Açıkgöz Banu , Açıkgöz Bilgehan
Published: December 2024

The fundamental basis of human existence is the enjoyment of rights and freedoms. The capacity of sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals to enjoy equal access to their right to health is inextricably linked to the manner in which physicians interact with and treat SGM individuals. It is therefore evident that the perception of SGM individuals by physicians is a matter that requires further examination. The objective of this study was to gain insight into the attitudes of physicians toward SGM individuals by examining their feelings and behaviors. In this cross-sectional study of 193 physicians, a series of t-tests and chi-square tests were conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between the various sociodemographic categories of the participants. The findings indicate that physicians’ approach to SGM individuals is largely aligned with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). A comparison of the attitudes of male and female participants reveals a greater proclivity toward egalitarianism among the latter with regard to SGMs. Additionally, it was determined that medical professionals engaged in the field of internal medicine exhibited a comparatively less traditionalist perspective on gender roles and a more egalitarian stance toward individuals who identified as sexual and gender minorities. The stress, fear, and anxiety experienced by SGM individuals impose a responsibility on physicians to demonstrate greater awareness and consideration of their behavior while providing health services. In order for physicians to become more aware and responsible, it is necessary to provide them with a higher level of education in medical content based on an egalitarian legal framework for sexual orientation and gender identity. Furthermore, the study recommends the implementation of more inclusive social practices.
Feminist Sanat ve Psikanalitik Feminizm Kesişiminde Çeşme (Fountain)
Authors: Cengiz Burcu Nur , Ateşli Murat
Published: December 2024

1960’lı yıllarda ataerkil toplum dinamiklerine karşılık kadının kimlik ve değerlerini vurgulama, eril tahakkümü dağıtma ve dengeleme amaçlı örgütlenen feminist sanat (ekofeminist sanat, aktivist sanat), beyaz erkek egemen sanat hegemonyasının yarattığı cinsiyetçilik zeminine, kadının temsil eksikliğine dikkat çeken yaratıcı aktivist eylemlerle sanat camiasında mevcut despotik dili yapıbozuma uğratmaktadır. Benzer bir yapıbozum pratiği içinde psikanalitik feminizm tarafından kadın cinsiyet-cinsel kimliğinin ve öznelliğin oluşumunda baba-fallus merkezli psişik kültür anlayışına anne (meme) merkezli bir “karşıt söylem” öncüllenir: Oedipus karşısına alternatif bir teori olarak konumlanan Oresteia miti (antikahraman) ile kadın ve anne, nesne statüsünden özne durumuna geçer, böylece anne katlinin ürettiği yeniden-sembolizm anaerkil bir fantezi, ifade ve temsil sistemleri yaratır. Araştırmada feminist sanat ve psikanalitik feminizmin kesişiminde ele alınan Canan Şenol’un (CANAN) “Çeşme/Fountain” (2000) isimli video art çalışması, Duchamp’ın “Çeşme”sine (1917) ve Bruce Nauman’ın “Çeşme Olarak Otoportre” (1966) adlı eserine gönderme yaparak “çeşme” imgesine öznel ve feminist bir karşıt söylem oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırmada CANAN’ın “Çeşme” çalışmasında yarattığı söylem; Melani Klein’ın Oresteia teorisi ile ilişkisinde ele alınmakta, resim sanatı tarihinden örneklemeler üzerinden sanat-kültür eleştirisi gerçekleştirilmektedir.
Umumi Hıfzıssıhha Kanunu’nda Kadın: Feminist Bir İnceleme
Authors: Paksoy Erbaydar Nüket , Şahinoğlu Serap
Published: December 2024

Bu niteliksel çalışmanın amacı, Umumi Hıfzıssıhha Kanunu’nun (UHK) kadınla ilgili maddelerini feminist bakış açısıyla değerlendirmektir. Bu amaçla kanunda kadını çağrıştıran/kapsayan sözcükler taranmış; sonuçlar gruplanarak UHK’nın kadın öznelliğini ele alış biçimlerine yönelik bir içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Kanunun yirmi dört maddesinde kadınlara atıfta bulunulmuş olup, kadın, sütanne, umumi kadın, kız, doğum, sütnine, valide, ana, doğum yardımı, emzikli kadın, evlenecek kadın, fuhuşla melûf kadın, fuhşu san’at ve maişet vasıtası ittihaz eden kadın ve gebe kadın olmak üzere on dört farklı ifade otuz yedi kez kullanılmıştır. Kanunun bazı maddelerinde kadın ve erkekler eşit olarak değerlendirilmiş; bazı maddelerinde ise kadın öznelliği dönemin toplumsal normları çerçevesinde sınıflandırılmaya tabi tutulmuş; “kadın”, “kız”, “genelev kadını” gibi ahlaki kategorilere ayrılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, UHK’nın dönemin eril bakış açısıyla kaleme alındığı, toplumda var olan cinsiyet normlarının kanun aracılığıyla yeniden üretildiği söylenebilir. Sağlık politikaları ve ilgili kanunların tarihsel bağlam, kadın hakları ve refahı üzerindeki etkisini dikkate alan feminist eleştirel değerlendirmelerine ihtiyaç vardır.
Wavelet neural network application in helicopter gearbox gear fault diagnosis
Authors: Nacib Leila , Sakhara Saadi , Bouchama Ziyad
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on developing an artificial neural network (ANN) model designed to assess the condition of helicopter gearboxes in the presence of specific faults namely, shaft unbalance and bearing inner race wear. Monitoring these faults is crucial, as they can lead to significant performance issues or failures if undetected. By analyzing various input indicators, the model diagnoses faults based on subtle patterns and anomalies within the gearbox’s vibration signals. Unlike conventional diagnostic methods, which often rely on fixed thresholds or rigid rule based systems, learning and recognition algorithms used in ANN models provide a highly adaptable, data-driven approach. This adaptability enables the model to refine its accuracy over time, learning from new data and updating its fault classification capabilities. A robust dataset is essential to ensure the model can accurately classify different types and severities of faults. During the training phase, the ANN model learns to associate specific input patterns with known fault states, enabling it to generalize this knowledge and detect faults in new, unseen data. Simulation results demonstrate the ANN model’s success in accurately identifying gearbox gear vibration faults and effectively distinguishing between healthy and faulty states, even in the presence of random noise disturbances. This approach offers a scalable and efficient solution with broad applicability across aerospace and other high-stakes fields.

Published: December 2024

The “MicroMundo” project is an innovative educational initiative designed to address the issue of antibiotic resistance through a collaborative and service-learning approach focused on detection of antibiotic-producing bacteria. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, MicroMundo was adapted by integrating university students enrolled in the “Master’s in Teacher Training for Secondary Education” (SWITAs) which mentored high school students (SWISs) through the laboratory research experience. Evaluation of the project through surveys highlighted strong satisfaction among participants, with 100% of university students valuing the teaching experience and 80% reporting gains in essential skills such as planning and communication. Pre-university students also highly valued this experience, reporting an increase in motivation despite the challenging circumstances, and noting that it sparked their interest in the field of science. This hands-on approach reinforces the need for practical, research-based experiences and emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about critical health challenges, particularly in contexts beyond the scientific field.

Identificación parcial de sulforafano en muestras de tallo e influrescencia de Brassica oleracea var. Italica
Authors: Hernández Sandra Jazmín Pérez , Ortega Angel Eduardo Márquez , González Guillermina Pérez , Ramírez Nohemi López
Published: December 2024

Brassica oleracea var. Italica posee un compuesto bioactivo denominado Sulforafano, que actúa contra la gastritis, la úlcera gástrica y el cáncer de estómago. Actualmente este componente reduce el tamaño del tumor al actuar como activador del factor de transcripción Nrf2, lo que le confiere un efecto preventivo frente al estrés oxidativo, siendo éste el principal causante del cáncer de estómago. El presente trabajo se centra en llevar a cabo el proceso de extracción de Sulforafano a partir del tallo e inflorescencia de B. oleracea mediante deshidratación y lixiviación de la materia vegetal con disolventes. Una vez obtenida la fracción del extracto, se continuó con la identificación de la sustancia mediante espectrofotometría UV-Visible en un barrido de longitudes de onda en un rango de 190-300 nm, ya que el Sulforafano presenta una detección a una longitud de onda de 202 nm. Los resultados mostraron que la concentración del extracto en la inflorescencia fue de 28 mg y en el tallo fue de 80,3 mg en 10 g de muestra seca de planta, por lo que en el tallo se encuentra una mayor concentración de extracto aprovechable. Por otro lado, al realizar la espectrofotometría UV-Vis, el barrido 190-300 nm del extracto a una dilución 1:100 en metanol al 5% mostró un pico a 202 nm, que correspondería al Sulforafano presente en el tallo y la inflorescencia de B. oleracea.

Analyzing how Social Media Platforms, Driven by AI, can serve as Spaces for Teachers' Professional Development by Facilitating Networking, Knowledge Sharing, and Real-time Collaboration
Authors: Basit Abdul , Khan Zafar Ahmad , Rehman Ishrat , Iqbal Arshad
Published: December 2024

This study assesses the impact of AI-facilitated social media on teachers' professional development in relation to networking, knowledge-sharing, and instant collaboration. Given that AI is increasingly incorporated into learning spaces, more often than not, the traditional means of PD have some of these disadvantages, including the lack of time, place, and the lack of room to collaborate with other teachers. The use of AI-based platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, Edmodo, and Google Classroom supports personalized learning and connects teachers all over the world. This study was a quantitative design to gather information on the multivariate sample of teachers using these platforms in order to advance their professional development. Responses on usage patterns, perceived benefits, and effectiveness of AI were gathered from structured questionnaires. To interpret these, descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and regression analyses were applied in the evaluation of data. Findings were concluded whereby AI-driven platforms greatly enable improvement in networking opportunities, support more efficient knowledge sharing than classical PD environments, and can contribute to developing real-time collaboration. In other words, what an AI might provide in terms of learning support brings with it opportunities with which teachers might have rich, accessible, and also personalized learning experiences. This requires further research into the particular features of AI that support PD and for educators, working with developers of platforms, to optimize AI for the enhancement of teacher effectiveness. These findings add to a growing literature on the role that AI plays in education through actionable insights for possible integration into education programs for teachers in the future.

Published: December 2024

Agroforestry systems contribute to entomological conservation by allowing the development of interactions that maintain the stability of the agroecosystem. To determine the diversity of insect families and their trophic guilds associated with agroforestry systems immersed in the mountain mesophyll forest, two agricultural systems (agroforestry and agrosilvopastoral) were studied in Atzalan, in the municipality of Xochiapulco, Puebla, Mexico. Insect collections were conducted at 10 sites from November 2021 to October 2022. The frequencies of observation (FO), the richness estimator (Jackknife test), and the indices of relative abundance (RAI), diversity (Shannon-Wiener), equity, and evenness (Jaccard) were determined. Kruskal-Wallis, χ2 and cluster analysis tests were performed. The frequencies of observation showed high values for the families Drosophilidae (34.15 %), Tachinidae (9.45 %), and Sciaridae (4.95 %). The RAI had higher values for Drosophilidae (0.68), Tachinidae (0.18), and Sciaridae (0.09). The Jackknife test presented average values of 70.1, 91.7, and 94.77. The Shannon-Wiener index exhibited an average diversity of H ́ = 3.78, 4.12, and 4.18. The Jaccard index displayed values of 45, 53, and 55 %, respectively. The Kruskal-Wallis test exhibited significant differences for abundance, richness, and diversity. The χ2 test showed that abundance and richness for the agrosilvicultural condition were not as expected by the model. Cluster analysis showed the formation of two, two, and three clusters for abundance and five, two, and three, respectively, for richness. The evaluated systems harbor a high diversity of insect families that apply the differential use of the available trophic resource and allow the ecological balance of the analyzed agroecosystems. It is recommended to broaden the structural complexity of agroforestry systems in order to contribute to the conservation of entomological resources.
Nabatî Uygarlığı: Petra Şehri Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: Kelpetin Mahmut
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma, antik Nabatî uygarlığının tarihsel ve arkeolojik mirasını inceleyerek Arap Yarımadası’nın kuzeyindeki bu eski dünyanın önemli ticaret merkezlerinden biri olan Petra şehrinin sosyo-ekonomik yapısını ve kültürel etkileşimini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın odak noktası, Petra’nın bu uygarlık içindeki merkezi konumu ve çevresinde oluşan karmaşık sosyo-ekonomik yapılardır. Araştırma, Nabatîlerin ticaret ağları, savunma taktikleri ve coğrafî konumlarının, onları nasıl bir ekonomik güç haline getirdiği ve Petra’nın nasıl bir kültürel sentezin merkezi olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu açıdan Petra, Nabatîlerin merkezi olarak zengin tarihi ve etkileyici mimarisi ile dikkati çekmekte ve bu medeniyetin anlaşılmasında kritik rol oynamaktadır. Nabatîler, M.Ö. IV. yüzyıldan itibaren bölgede hakimiyet kurmaya başlamış ve M.S. II. yüzyılın başlarında Roma İmparatorluğu tarafından ele geçirilene kadar bağımsız krallık olarak varlığını sürdürmüştür. Bu süre zarfında Petra, geniş ticaret ağına ev sahipliği yaparak Doğu ve Batı arasındaki ticaretin önemli merkezi haline gelmiştir. İpek Yolu gibi önemli ticaret yollarının kesişim noktasında yer alan Petra, baharat, tütsü ve diğer değerli malların ticaretinde kilit rol oynamıştır. Bu ekonomik başarı, Petra’nın zenginliğinde ve etkileyici kaya mezarları, tapınakları, su yönetim sistemleri ve diğer sivil yapılarındaki mimaride kendini göstermektedir. Nitekim Petra’nın en önemli anıtları olan es-Sîk, el-Hazne, ed-Deyr ve antik tiyatrosu, şehrin mimari ve kültürel zenginliğinin anlaşılmasına katkı sağladığı gibi Nabatîlerin sanat ve mimari anlayışı ile onların sosyal ve dinî hayatları hakkında da önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. XIX. yüzyılda Batılı seyyahlar tarafından yeniden keşfedilen ve arkeolojik çalışmalar vasıtasıyla gün yüzüne çıkarılan Nabatî mirası, modern tarih ve arkeolojinin çalışma alanları içinde önemini korumaktadır. Tarihçiler ve arkeologlar için Nabatîler ve bu medeniyetin gizemli kenti Petra, Orta Doğu’nun antik tarihini anlamada önemli halkadır. Onların etkileşim içinde olduğu diğer kültürlerle olan ilişkileri, bölgenin tarihsel süreçleri hakkında önemli bilgi vermektedir.
İslam Tarihi Kaynaklarına Göre Cahiliye ve Savaş
Authors: Acar Cafer
Published: December 2024

Bu makalede, Cahiliye toplumunun en önemli karakteristiklerinden olup Eyyamü’l-Arab tabiriyle ifade edilen Cahiliye’de savaş olgusu muhtelif veçheleriyle ele alınmıştır. Konu, makale yazarının doktora çalışmasının bir bölümü ile ilişkili olmakla birlikte yeni araştırma ve bulguların dikkate alınarak zenginleştirilmesiyle hazırlanmıştır. Bu dönem savaşları, kabile ilişkileri üzerinden inşa edilmiştir. Kabile ise asabiyet olgusu ile sıkı sıkıya örgülenmiştir. Buna binaen Cahiliye dönemi savaşları, çok spesifik olayların genişlemesi ile alevlenmiş olabileceği gibi kabilenin yaşam alanlarına ve hayatiyetine kasteden sebepler üzerinden de çıkabilmiştir. Bu, dönemde yaşanan savaşların sayısına dair farklı rakamlar verilmiştir. Bu durum tamamen bu savaşları inceleyen bilginlerin yaklaşımı ile ilgili olarak çeşitlenmiştir. Eyyamü’l-Arab tabiriyle ifade edilen bu mücadelelerin sayısına dair değerlendirmeler 1200 sayısına kadar ulaştırılmaktadır. Ancak bu değerlendirmelerde meselenin çok ayrıntılarıyla ele almanın etkili olduğu aşikardır. Çalışmaların çoğunda bu rakamın seksen ila yüz küsür arasında değiştiği görülür. Cahiliye toplumunda savaş, hayatın doğal akışında doğal bir karşılığa sahiptir. Cahiliyenin her bir insanı çoklu hayat görevlerini hayatı boyunca yapma sorumluluğu ile karşı karşıyadır. Asker olmak da bu minvaldedir. Kabilenin her bireyi askerdir. Kabileyi ayakta tutan asabiyet duygusundan beslenmektedir. Dönemin savaş geleneği çerçevesinde Eyyamu’l-Arab bir varoluş mücadelesi görünümündedir. Savaşların ön hazırlık aşamasından icra edilmesi ve sonuçlanması sürecine kadar yerleşik gelenekler vardır. Haram aylar, kehanet ve kahinlerle istişare, sancak taşınması ve ödüllendirme bunlardan bir kaçıdır.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The military invasion led to the need to develop an innovative model of economic growth and modernisation. Reconstruction requires the involvement of stakeholders at the international, national, regional, private and public levels, as well as considering the existing challenges of reconstruction.
 
Theoretical Framework: The Strategy for Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine, presented in 2022, defines the goals and directions of the state's future development, which are difficult to achieve due to a significant technical and technological gap, existing institutional problems and corruption. The article aims to study the economic strategy of post-war recovery in Ukraine in the context of sustainable development.
 
Method: A systematic approach and statistical analysis method were used to identify the existing socio-economic and environmental prerequisites for future reconstruction to achieve this goal.
 
Results and Discussion: The paper examines the main economic, social and environmental prerequisites for future reconstruction, which contradict the goals declared by the National Recovery Council. The article highlights the central contradictions of the presented Recovery Plan of Ukraine, which arise from the existing economic, social and environmental problems exacerbated by ongoing military operations.
 
Research Implications: The study shows that it is challenging to implement the economic strategy of post-war recovery in the context of sustainable development due to several economic, social and environmental problems.
 
Originality/Value: These include a slow transition from an industrial to a post-industrial economy, a low level of development of innovative industries, problems in the social sphere, a reorientation of foreign economic activity flows mainly to the EU countries, and a problematic demographic situation due to the migration shock and internal displacement of the population.

This study evaluates the water quality of the main tributary and effluent of the Santo Domingo Lagoon. The objectives were to analyze the physical-chemical and biological characteristics of the water to determine its influence on water quality, using the ICA-NSF, ICA-Dinius, ABI and IBF indices. For this, samplings were carried out during the months of April and June, evaluating a total of 15 parameters and identifying the benthic macroinvertebrates present in the water bodies. Physicochemical indicators show a slightly higher water quality in April (maximum value 42.2%) compared to June (maximum value 35.5%). Meanwhile, the biological evaluation showed poor water quality at the sampling points with values from 14 to 21 according to the ABI index, while the IBF index indicated excellent quality at the points, suggesting a discrepancy between biological and physicochemical quality. This discrepancy suggests the presence of contaminants that could affect biodiversity in the long term, so it is important to carry out constant and more in-depth monitoring to establish the health of the aquatic ecosystem.

Pharmaceutical companies globally and in the United States are restricted from directly marketing their products to end users, specifically patients, due
to regulatory guidelines set by relevant authorities. As a result, the pharmaceutical industry depends heavily on medical sales representatives to promote
products to healthcare providers, who subsequently prescribe these products to patients, with significant investments dedicated to promotional activities.
However, evaluating the return on investment in medical sales representatives' efforts to influence healthcare providers' prescribing decisions to increase
product prescriptions to end users is crucial for assessing overall marketing effectiveness. This study investigated whether organizational investments in
medical sales representatives’ promotional efforts via healthcare provider endorsements significantly enhance organizational performance. Adopting a
deductive research approach and a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the study surveyed a random sample of 338 respondents, including senior
managers, middle managers, and medical sales representatives, selected from 368 registered pharmaceutical companies operating in the U.S. Data were
collected through a structured questionnaire using a 1–5 scale to measure each item. The collected data were analyzed using R-Studio for correlation, linear
regression, and path analysis. The study findings reveal that relationship marketing in the pharmaceutical sector emphasizes the pivotal role of incentivized
medical sales representatives in building trust, strengthening prescriber (physician) loyalty, and achieving competitive advantage, all while addressing
ethical and regulatory complexities.
A Comparative Review of Dynamic Analysis Techniques for Elevated Water Tanks: Time History Method Versus Response Spectrum Method
Authors: S.S. Mane  , Ashwini B. Sankpal
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive review of dynamic analysis techniques for elevated water tanks, with a specific focus on comparing the Time History Method (THM) and Response Spectrum Method (RSM). Drawing upon a wide range of literature sources, the review synthesizes existing research efforts dedicated to understanding structural behavior, seismic performance, bracing configurations, material considerations, and soil-structure interaction in the context of elevated water tanks. Despite the extensive body of literature in this field, a notable research gap exists in the systematic comparison of dynamic analysis techniques, particularly between THM and RSM. This paper highlights the need for a comparative review to evaluate the advantages, limitations, and applicability of THM and RSM for dynamic analysis of elevated water tanks, providing valuable guidance for engineers and researchers in selecting the most suitable method based on project requirements and constraints.
