Exposing zebrafish to both alcohol and nicotine for thirty minutes prior to a meal diminishes their inclination to seek food
Authors: Mohammad Kutub Ali  , Chevaughn Okeive Witter
Published: May 2024

The global issue of drug abuse, particularly involving alcohol and nicotine, influences individuals' appetite levels, potentially leading to fluctuations in body weight. This study employed the zebrafish model to investigate food-seeking behavior under the influence of alcohol, nicotine, or their combination, as well as after drug withdrawal. When food was easily accessible, no significant differences in food aggression were observed between the exposed and non-exposed fish groups, except when nicotine was present, which notably reduced aggression levels towards food. However, 30 minutes post-drug withdrawal, food cravings in the alcohol-nicotine exposed fish groups resembled those of the control group when food was readily available. Yet, when food searching activity was required, aggression toward food significantly decreased after drug withdrawal in the nicotine and nicotine-alcohol combined exposed fish groups. This finding could contribute to the reported weight loss in individuals using alcohol and nicotine together. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

The Oyo State Solid Waste Management Authority (OYSWMA) hired private waste operators (PWOs) because the government was unable to handle the increasing amounts of solid garbage that were being carelessly deposited in every corner of the metropolis. This study looked at the private garbage contractors' methods of operation, clientele, and difficulties in managing residential solid waste in Ibadan, Nigeria. In the three local government districts of the metropolis, a structured questionnaire was given to 21 private refuse operators and 250 homes. A few measures of service quality were employed to determine the method of operation and customer base. To interpret the gathered data, both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed. The findings showed that the factors that affected residents and operators of SWM the most were educational attainment, monthly income, building types, and occupation (n = 213, 85.2%; 164, 65.6%). Of the houses who enrolled for waste collection, between 201-300 (47.6%) and 100-200 (42.9%) utilized private waste contractors. Although the license specifies once per week, waste collection is inconsistent and typically occurs once every two weeks (52.4%); charges, on the other hand, are variable and exceed the established rates. Undue financial backing from the LGAs, impassable areas, incompatible law, poor advertisement and awareness, political influence, exorbitant leachate treatment fees, and poor health were among the operational issues confronted the private garbage operators. The elements that affect the way the private sector of SWM operates and attracts customers were found to be as follows: non-cooperation of residents (n = 8, 38.1%), poor nearness to buildings (n = 9, 42.9%), and the lax enforcement of hygiene regulations (n = 4, 19.0%). The report suggests that in order to provide residents in Ibadan Metropolis with high-quality services, private refuse operators should regularly monitor and oversee the collection of solid waste.

The rise of environmental pollution is a threat to planetary and human health. Microbes encode a wide range of enzymes with sophisticated catalytic properties to mitigate toxic chemicals from nature. Bioprospecting environmental bacteria can be a powerful resource for improved enzymes to optimize bioremediation processes. Here, we present a promising genetic toolbox sequenced from a novel multi-resistant bacterial strain isolated from industrial wastewater and sewage-contaminated stream in the city of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. We report Enterobacter cloacae amazonensis as a highly heavy-metal resistant and antibiotic multi-resistant strain. Functional and comparative genomics of the E. cloacae strain amazonensis draft genome revealed the annotation of 104 genes encoding proteins involved in the metabolism of copper, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, chromium, mercury and arsenic, as well as a plethora of broad-spectrum resistant genes. As a proof of concept, we characterized a plasmid mobile element from the amazonensis strain, pEN_Amazonensis, in the model biotechnological workhorse E. coli, leading to the robust acquisition of mercury and antibiotic resistance. Here, we highlighted the potential of bioprospecting genetic novelty from environmental bacteria through comparative genomics, paving the way for a genetic toolbox for bioremediation processes.

Caliphate is a term which is used in Islamic history for the governmental system adopted by companions of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) in the light of the teaching of Islam. Madina was the capital for caliphate. The system of appointment of the Caliph used to vary time to time. The model system of caliphate was finished with the death of 4th Caliph Hadrat Ali (R.A). There were found monarchy system in Banu Ummayad, Banu Abbas period, and later on in Ottoman Empire in Turkey but, they always used to name themselves Caliphs. Caliph was considered the sole leader of the all the Muslims living all over the world. Last living Ottoman Empire ended in 1923 after the World War 2. Now Muslims have no caliph, who can solidify them, that’s way they are diversified.  For the time being, there are groups among the Muslims who do not believe in Caliphate. They have doubts in this regard whether caliphate is proved by Quran and Sunnah or not? Some of them believe in democracy or other nature of dominion. I tried my best to prove caliphate in the light of Quran, Sunnah and sayings of the predecessors.

Published: May 2024

This research employs the Taguchi experimental design to optimize the production of α-amylase, a versatile enzyme with diverse industrial applications, using Bacillus velezensis. Thirteen key parameters, including pH, temperature, agitation, inoculum size, aeration and various carbon and nitrogen sources, were systematically investigated using the Taguchi L27 (313) orthogonal array. Initial screening of six seed media formulations identified SM6 (0.5% peptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.1% K2 HPO4 ) as the optimal medium, producing 2.8 U mL-1 of α-amylase. Further optimization under the Taguchi framework yielded a maximum α-amylase activity of 1097.31 U mL-1 and total protein of 1230 mg mL-1 at pH 5, 34°C, 4% moong husk as carbon source, and 2% soybean cake as nitrogen source. Two-factor interaction analysis revealed that a temperature of 34°C with 2% soybean cake, and 4% moong husk with 2% soybean cake, provided the best results. Validation experiments confirmed a 31.2% enhancement in α-amylase production under the optimized conditions. This study highlights the efficacy of the Taguchi design in systematically optimizing complex bioprocesses, paving the way for improved α-amylase synthesis with B. velezensis.

A precise UV spectroscopic method was developed for accurately quantifying tinidazole (TNZ) using the Shimadzu 1900i UV spectrophotometer. Different sample solutions containing TNZ were scanned across a range of concentration 6 µg mL-1 to 26 µg mL-1 between 200-400 nm, generating overlay TNZ spectra showing an absorption maximum at 318nm in vaginal buffer which is made up of phosphate buffer (PB) 4.2 pH with 2% Tween 80® LR and 4 mL of methanol. The construction of a six-point calibration curve demonstrated the linearity of TNZ within the 6-26 µg mL-1 concentration range. The regression equation derived from this calibration curve was subsequently employed to accurately determine the concentration in accuracy studies. In the analysis of bulk TNZ, a recovery rate ranging from 98.41% to 102.28% was achieved. The analysis results were validated following ICH (International Council on Harmonization) guidelines and compiled with the required criteria and standards
The Effectiveness of Accelerating Stunting Reduction Policy
Authors: Sevilla Jenifer , Nugroho Asianto , Turymshayeva Arida
Published: May 2024

Indonesia has implemented various policies to accelerate stunting reduction, however whether these policies have effectively reduced stunting, because the prevalence of stunting is still high, at 30.8%. The government's involvement in creating and implementing stunting policies in Indonesia still needs to be effective in terms of legal substance, structure, and culture. This research employs socio-legal research methods and a comparative approach with Finland. This research shows, first, that the existing acceleration policy has yet to effectively overcome the problem of stunting in Indonesia because there is still a policy of implementing taxes on nutritious food commodities, which affects people's purchasing power. There is a need for socialization and integration of stunting policies across sectors, technical coordination between central and regional government organizations, and community participation in policy implementation. Second, comparative studies in Finland can provide new information regarding understanding health and formulating regulations for implementing taxes on unhealthy foods. Therefore, this research has the potential to enhance the prevention of stunting and provide valuable insights for the Indonesian government to formulate and implement policies.
Legal Protection in Land Acquisition for Public Interest: A Dilemma Between State Regulation and Social Welfare
Authors: Irawan Armalia Berlinda , Subekti Rahayu , Sobirov Bobur Baxtishodovich
Published: May 2024

The development of infrastructure for the general interest in Indonesia continues to be encouraged by the Government to improve the general well-being, but it has to deal with public ownership by acquiring land for such development. This study determines the forms of legal protection for landowners affected by land acquisition. The study uses normative legal research, which compares legal issues in two countries, Indonesia and the Netherlands. This research is descriptive, using statute, conceptual, and case approaches. The results of this study show that legal protection for landowners affected by land acquisition in Indonesia, based on some cases in the investigated judgment, needs to protect and provide legal certainty for landowners fully. The case is based on unilaterally granting compensation, and the court has not filed a lawsuit for such compensation. The courts in Indonesia, in settling the land acquisition damages dispute, are more subject to existing rules that do not look at the situation on the ground. The implementation of the acquisition process carried out by the Evaluation Team must comply with the procedures in the land acquisition regulations. Secondly, legal protection for landowners affected by land acquisition in the Netherlands; based on several cases in the ruling under investigation, the Netherlands has provided legal protection in the form of high compensation for the cost of landowner losses. The Supreme Court is working hard for a reasonable outcome by providing high-value compensation. Both states have the same obstacle in implementing land acquisition: a dispute with landowners about compensation.
Securing Peace in the Indigene-Settler Crisis of Jos, Nigeria: A Case for Second-Generation Security Approaches
Authors: Animasawun Gbemisola Abdul-Jeleel , Ola Adegboyega Adedolapo
Published: May 2024

The frequency and brutish nature of violent conflicts especially those rooted in contestations oyer autochthony and land in many post-colonial African nation-states have exposed the limited capability of the Police to contain such crises: thereby necessitating the deployment of the military to such conflict-ridden communities. Sequel to the inability of the Police to contain communal conflicts that have threatened peace and security since the inception of its fourth-republic in Plateau State, Nigeria's federal government found it imperative to draft the military to the state. Despite military presence, the indigene-settler crisis continues apace defined by guerrilla tactics which often makes it challenging for the military to enforce order. Using two instances of such bloody clashes to illustrate the security-promotion challenges confronting the first-generation approach currently in place as depicted by military presence, the article canvasses for a shift from first-generation approaches of security promotion to second-generation approaches that are context and locale-specific towards sustainable peace and security.
Broken Pot: An Existentialist Study of The Narrow Path
Authors: Adeniran Morenike A. , Adegbite Olajumoke O.
Published: May 2024

Culture represents experiences, values, behaviour, skills and traditions among others; that we have received from the previous generation, that is, from our forefathers. Culture is what they have learned in life and found as good, workable and beautiful; hence they have passed it on to the next generation so as to maintain a good life. However, our comptemporary Yoruba society has changed so drastically from what it used to be, the old social institutions that ensured the continuty of certain cultural practices have become irrelevant. Using a structuralist approach to studying The Narrow Path, this essay explores the narrative of a maiden who loses her virginity before marriage and the consequences of her action. Structuralism tries to bring together a variety of approaches under a unified program in the study of any cultural activity. These approaches include an examination of the social background from which a product (e.g. a tale) comes, just as we have seen the anthropologists do; an anatomy of the tale to work out the abstract structure of relationships between the various units of its composition (especially the symbols) and most importantly an effort to demonstrate the psychological problem within the culture which the tale is trying to resolve by way of a confrontation between these constituent symbols. However, Existentialism states that because of the world's absurdity, at any point in time, anything can happen to anyone, and a tragic event could plummet someone into direct confrontation with the Absurd. Thus, this paper argues that the influence of modernity on the Yoruba culture gave birth to the loss of certain cultural values as seen in the film.

Authors: Ojo Funmilayo Yemi
Published: May 2024

The use of student evaluation of teaching effectiveness to assess lecturers' performance in the classroom is one of the common and most controversial practices in tertiary institutions all over the world. The need for improvement in undergraduate teaching performance necessitated continuous research of this subject. The sample included 100 respondents drawn from lecturers attending a workshop on "Improved Teaching and Learning Methods" organized in a private university in Ekiti. Data were collected from lecturers by means of the questionnaire developed by the researcher. t-test analysis was used to analyze the data for the two hypotheses tested. Results indicated no significant difference between male and female lecturers perception of students' assessment of lecturers teaching effectiveness. Responses of both senior and junior lecturers were also positive. It is therefore recommended that student evaluation oflecturers' performance should be made mandatory and conducted regularly in Nigerian universities

Published: May 2024

Taking a functionalist approach to translation, translators choose their translation strategies according to the purpose or function the translated text is intended to fulfill for the target audience. This paper attempts to interrogate the application of Skopos-theory concepts to the adaptation of The Palm-Wine Drinkard and his Dead Palm-Wine Tapster in the Deads ' Town by Amos Tutuola as L 'ivrogne dans la brousse by Raymond Queneau. It also aims at proving the possibility of translating a text according to a specific objective. In order to facilitate our discussion, we will use the Skopos theory in analysing the French version of The Palm- Wine Drinkard. This paper concludes that some elements of Skopos theory were made manifest in the adaptation of The Palm-Wine Drinkard and that the translation ofthe novel was made by the standards of Skopos theory.

Published: May 2024

Stroke has a substantial impact on healthcare systems globally and is a leading cause of death and disability. The number of stroke cases in Pakistan is increasing, which makes it necessary to learn more about the factors that affect acute stroke patients' outcomes, especially in tertiary care settings. Objective: The study sought to determine socio-cultural causes linked to poor functional outcomes and death in acute stroke patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan, as well as to evaluate clinical variables, analyse pre-hospital effects, and identify demographic characteristics. Methods: The research was a retrospective cohort study at the Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar, Pakistan, well-known for its state-of-the-art stroke treatment facilities. A sample size of 346 acute stroke patients hospitalised between January 2021 and December 2022 was selected to achieve statistical power. Adult patients with acute stroke diagnoses met the inclusion criteria, and strict exclusion standards guaranteed data uniformity and correctness. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to assess pre-hospital, clinical, and demographic data obtained from electronic medical records. Results: On average, the patients were 65.2 years old, and 54.91% were male. The prevalence of ischaemic strokes was 72.83% higher than that of hemorrhagic strokes. Age (OR: 1.08, p < 0.001), stroke severity (OR: 1.42, p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.10, p = 0.005), delayed medical treatment (OR: 1.89, p = 0.010), and inadequate family support (OR: 2.45, p = 0.003) were significant predictors of death. Age (OR: 1.12, p < 0.001), stroke severity (OR: 1.58, p < 0.001), cardiovascular disease (OR: 1.87, p = 0.044), delaying seeking medical assistance (OR: 1.96, p = 0.005), and health-seeking behaviour (OR: 2.18, p = 0.002) were among the factors that predicted poor functional outcomes. Conclusion: Our research highlights the significance of prompt care, social support, and rehabilitation in improving the prognosis of individuals with acute stroke in Pakistan.

Published: May 2024

Peritrochanteric fractures, a common orthopaedic challenge, often necessitate surgical intervention to restore mobility and prevent complications in the elderly population. Despite advancements in surgical techniques, optimizing perioperative care remains critical to improving outcomes. Tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic agent, has effectively reduced blood loss and transfusion requirements in various surgical procedures. Objective: To assess the influence of pre-operative TXA administration on postoperative haemoglobin levels, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion rates, and adverse events in peri trochanteric fractures. Methodology: Employing a Prospective Double-Blind study design at Jinnah Medical College Hospital Karachi from January 2020 to January 2021. Ninety participants were enrolled: 45 in the experimental group and 45 in the control group. The AO/OTA Classification categorised fracture severity. The statistical analysis compared the baseline characteristics, postoperative outcomes, and adverse events across groups using t-tests for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical data. The main result, the haemoglobin levels after surgery, was examined using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to account for any factors that may affect the outcome. The study was performed using the statistical software SPSS (version 23.0). Results: Baseline characteristics, including age, gender distribution, BMI, and fracture severity, were comparable between groups. Post-operative haemoglobin levels were similar (Experimental: 11.5 ± 1.2 g/dL; Control: 11.9 ± 1.4 g/dL), but the experimental group exhibited significantly lower intraoperative blood loss (350 ± 50 mL vs 380 ± 60 mL, p=0.032). Transfusion rates were comparable (Experimental: 8.9%; Control: 11.1%), and adverse event incidences, including infections (Experimental: 6.7%, Control: 8.9%), thromboembolic events (Experimental: 2.2%, Control: 4.4%), and cardiovascular complications (Experimental: 4.4%, Control: 2.2%), were comparable, emphasising TXA's safety profile. Conclusion: Pre-operative TXA administration in peritrochanteric fractures may effectively reduce intraoperative blood loss without adverse effects on post-operative haemoglobin levels or increased adverse event rates. These findings contribute valuable insights into the potential benefits of TXA in optimising surgical outcomes in this specific orthopaedic context.
A Missional Church Strategy in an Era of Humanlike Chatbots
Authors: Hirome David
Published: May 2024

The recent prominence of advanced chatbots that greatly mimic human intelligence and conversation appears to have set a new stage in the rapidly developing field of Artificial Intelligence. Chatbots such as ChatGTP and Bard have risen to global popularity among internet users who interface with the chatbots in a nearly humanlike manner through a question-and-answer format. But such great technological developments also give rise to questions regarding theology and spirituality. Thus, this paper asks: what does it mean to be human in an increasingly AI driven world? How can Christian communities around the globe respond to the ongoing developments in the field of AI? Basing on missional anthropology, this paper argues for an understanding of humans as embodied agents of God as central in a missional strategy to respond to the proliferation of advanced AI chatbots today.

The Hasanlu gold bowl: an iconographic interpretation of the decoration and parallels in the Armenian Highlands
Authors: Poghosyan Gayane
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the examination of some aspects of the artistic decoration of the gold bowl found at the ancient site of Hasanlu-tepe (Iran). Although the bowl has been studied by many scholars, such as E. Porada and I. Winter and others, the need for conducting an iconographic analysis still persists. The present paper attempts to analyze the iconography and symbolism of the artistic elements of the Hasanlu gold bowl in the context of culture and religion interactions. The comparison of the Hasanlu gold bowl and some excavated artifacts from the Armenian Highlands suggests that the artistic composition of the bowl is a reflection of certain astrological and mythological ideas associated with constellations.

Статья посвящена анализу некоторых элементов художественной ком-позиции золотой чаши, найденной в Хасанлу-тепе (Иран). Несмотря на то, что золотая чаша Хасанлу явилась объектом исследования ряда ученых, однако необходимость проведения сравнительного искусствоведческого анализа иконографии и последующего пересмотра результатов проведенных ранее исследований остается актуальной. В статье предпринята попытка проанализировать иконографию и символику художественных элементов декора чаши в контексте культурных и культовых взаимосвязей. Поскольку рассмотрение иконографии представлено в научных трудах разных специалистов, в рамках данной статьи особое внимание уделяется некоторым художественным мотивам, характерным для культуры Армянского нагорья в эпоху бронзы и железа.

Background:
Burnout syndrome is a combination of diminishing work (emotional exhaustion), considering people as objects (depersonalization), and lack of sense of meaningfulness in work (low personal accomplishment). Pakistani consultants and particularly plastic surgeons are ignored entirely in this regard. The aim of this study was to determine the burnout burden and related responsible factors for burnout among plastic surgeons and trainees in Sindh.
Methodology:
A web-based cross-sectional was conducted to assess burnout among plastic surgeons in different hospitals in Hyderabad, Karachi and Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan using Google forms from July to December 2022. All the certified plastic surgeons, trainees registered for more than 6 months in plastic surgery, belonging to any age or gender, and working in private or public sector hospitals were included. A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data while the Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to measure burnout.
Results:
Varying degrees of burnout were reported by 89(49.4%) post-graduate trainee students and plastic surgeons. Out of total burnout cases, 51(57.3%) had a high burnout rate. Sleep hours, marital status and workout activity or exercise were significantly associated with emotional exhaustion (P < 0.05) while age, designation, smoking, sleep hours and physical activity were significantly associated with depersonalization.
Conclusion:
The study concludes that the burnout rate among plastic surgeons and trainees in plastic surgery is significantly higher. Age, sleeping hours, marital status, workout activity, designation, and smoking, are significantly associated with burnout rate.

Mekân dizimi, mekânsal örgütlenmeler arasındaki benzerlik ya da farklılıkları analiz etmek için kullanılan bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışma, bu yöntemin kullanımına ilişkin detayları bir uygulama üzerinden ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, birbirine benzer, ancak topolojik olarak farklı olan üç varsayılan mekânsal örgütlenme çalışma kapsamına dahil edilmiştir. Metodolojik inceleme için gerekli altlığın oluşturulması için ilk mekânsal örgütlenmenin geçirgenlik grafiğinin çizilmesine yönelik detaylar belirginleştirilmiştir. Aynı mekân örgütlenmesinin sayısallaştırılmasını içeren hesaplama yöntemi ayrıntılı olarak açıklanmıştır. Tüm mekân örgütlenmelerinin hem geçirgenlik grafikleri çizilmiş hem de sentaktik değerleri (TD, MD, RA, RRA, i (1/RA ya da 1/RRA), CV, H ve H*) hesaplanmıştır. İncelenen mekân örgütlenmelerinin sentaktik özelliklerinin birbirlerinden farklı olduğu, 1 numaralı örgütlenmenin ayrışmış ve asimetrik, 3 numaralı örgütlenmenin ise daha bütünleşmiş ve simetrik bir yapıya sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Dış mekân dahil edilmediğinde 1 numaralı mekân örgütlenmesi ile karşılaştırıldığında 2 ve 3 numaralı mekân örgütlenmelerinin çok daha fazla dışa dönek bir mekânsal yapıya sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca 3 numaralı örgütlenmenin görece fark faktörleri bakımından güçlü bir genetik yapıya (düşük bir entropi değerine) sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Kullanılan metot ile benzer gibi görünen işlevsel şemalar arasındaki farklılıklar ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
Detection of Lung Cancer in CT image using Image Processing
Authors:   Department of Computational Intelligence, School of computing,  SRM Institute of Science and Technology,

Lung diseases are conditions that specifically affect the lungs and disrupt the breathing process. Lung cancer is a major cause of death in humans globally. Timely identification can increase the likelihood of survival among individuals. Timely diagnosis of the problem leads to a significant increase in the average survival rates for individuals with lung cancer, from 14 to 49 percent. Although computed tomography (CT) is significantly more efficient than X-ray, a comprehensive diagnosis necessitates the use of numerous imaging techniques to mutually reinforce each other. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is designed and assessed for the purpose of identifying lung cancer in CT scans. A densely connected convolutional neural network (CNN) and adaptive boosting algorithm were employed to classify the lung picture as either normal or cancerous. A dataset consisting of 201 lung images is utilized, with a portion of the photos allocated for training and the remaining images used for testing and classification purposes. The experimental findings demonstrated that the proposed strategy attained a high level of accuracy. Keyword: Medicinal, deep learning, Mobile net model, CNN, minutiae.

Agriculture is the field which plays an important role in improving our countries economy. Agriculture is the one which gave birth to civilization. India is an agrarian country and its economy largely based upon crop productivity, hence we can say that agriculture can be backbone of all business in our country. Selecting of every crop is very important in the agriculture planning. The selection of crops will depend upon the different parameters such as market price, production rate and the different government policies. Many changes are required in the agriculture field to improve changes in our Indian economy. We can improve agriculture by using machine learning techniques which are applied easily on farming sector. Along with all advances in the machines and technologies used in farming, useful and accurate information about different matters also plays a significant role in it. The concept of this paper is to implement the crop selection method so that this method helps in solving many agriculture and farmers problems. This improves our Indian economy by maximizing the yield rate of crop production.

TÜRKMEN ŞAİR MAHTUMKULU’NUN ŞİİRLERİNE SOSYOLOJİK BİR BAKIŞ
Authors: Dursun Tolga
Published: May 2024

Mahtumkulu Firâki, Türkmen edebiyatının güçlü şairlerinden birisidir. 1724 yılında doğmuş, 1807 yılında vefat etmiştir. Türkmen edebiyatının önemli temsilcilerinden Dövletmemmet Azadi’nin (1700-1760) oğludur. Türk dünyası halklarının kültürel belleklerinde “ortak değer” olarak görülmektedir. 18. yüzyılda Türkmen halkı sosyal ve siyasi bunalımlar yaşamıştır. Beyler ve hanların iç mücadeleleri, İran Şahları, Hive Hanları, Kızılbaşların saldırıları halkı yorgun düşürmüştür. Dönemin sosyolojik, psikolojik olgu ve olaylarına hâkim bir şair olan Mahtumkulu, Türkmen halkının çektiği acılara “dertlenerek” edebî üretimler oluşturmuştur. Tasavvuf ehli bir şair olan Mahtumkulu güçlü söz varlığını ruh dünyasındaki “manevi iklim” ile örerek halkın sesi olmuştur. Millî birlik, beraber yaşama kültürü, ülkenin iç ve dış saldırılara karşı korunması, halktan kopuk han, din adamları hakkında birçok sayıda şiiri korkusuzca kaleme almıştır. Öte yandan şair; siyasi, beşeri, ahlaki, millî, sosyal ve kültürel yaşamı yansıtan şiirler yazarak Türkmen halkına yol göstererek “ışık” olmuştur. Şiirler incelendiğinde sosyolojik olarak “pir, molla, hoca, derviş” gibi din adamalarının Türkmen halkında etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Söz konusu din adamlarının “cahil ve bilgisiz” olması ise halkın yanlış yönlendirilmesine sebebiyet vermiştir. Problemi gören şair, “Kur’an, ayet ve hadisten” habersiz, ehil olmayan “din adamlarını” ironik söylemle hicvedip toplum karşısında alaya alarak cezai yaptırım uygulamıştır. Ayrıca bazı şiirlerinde sosyal, kültürel kurallara aykırı hâl ve hareket sergileyen “toplum bireylerini” de sert bir şekilde eleştirmeyi ihmal etmediği görülmektedir.
Disiplinler arası bağlamda edebî türlerdeki konuların incelenmesi önemlidir. Din, edebiyat ve sosyoloji birbirinden istifade eden alanlardır. Bu çalışmada Mahtumkulu’nun belli “nitelikte” şiiri seçilmiştir. Çalışmanın makale formatında olmasından dolayı çok sayıda şiir seçmek yerine belli sayıda konu bağlamında malzeme sunan “nitelikli” mısralar araştırma problemi olarak ele alınmıştır. Dörtlüklerdeki söz varlığı, gösterge ve metaforik üsluptan hareketle “edebiyat ve din sosyolojisi” çerçevesinde “çözümlemeler” yapılmıştır. Şiirlerin muhteviyatı irdelendiğinde dörtlüklerin “edebiyat ve din sosyolojisine” uygun malzemeler sunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan şiirlerin orijinaline sadık kalınmış, bilinmeyen az sayıdaki sözcük dipnot yöntemiyle gösterilmiştir. Mahtumkulu’nun şiirlerinin edebiyat ve din sosyolojisine uygun ögeler taşıdığı görülmektedir.
