Memórias, territorialidades e identidades do quilombo Santana dos Pretos, Pinheiro, MA: experienciando memórias pela interdisciplinaridade
Authors: Bandeira Arkley Marques , Rodrigues Sávio José Dias , Monteiro dos Santos Alipio Felipe
Published: July 2023

Neste trabalho discutiremos o significado de memória coletiva a partir da reflexão sobre as experiências da comunidade quilombola Santana dos Pretos, município de Pinheiro, Maranhão. Tal debate se faz com a compreensão da construção da identidade quilombola que se apresenta em múltiplas formas de serem apreendidas, bem como, suas conexões com um fazer histórico, antropológico e geográfico. O trabalho foi realizado acionando elementos da história oral para buscar as experiências dos sujeitos envolvidos na composição coletiva da comunidade. Assim, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e trabalhos de campo em que fizemos entrevistas com informantes da comunidade. Dessa maneira, demonstrou-se que a identidade (ALMEIDA, 2002; BAUMAN, 2005) é apropriada cambialmente através do território, da memória coletiva e da etnicidade contemporânea, propondo, ainda, a ideia de um “experienciar” (GOLDMAN, 2006), que faz parte da construção do que é ser quilombola.
Uma Investigação Cultural Sobre O Natal Luz De Gramado.
Authors: Scholz Robinson Henrique
Published: July 2023

No contexto contemporâneo, estudos emanam reflexões relacionando aspectos culturais, históricos e econômicos, imbricados na perspectiva da viabilidade socioeconômica das festas culturais. A heterogeneidade cultural faz com que haja uma mescla de valores e práticas culturais, tornando imperceptível uma cultura pura, única e particular. Este estudo tem como fio condutor a compreensão sobre o evento Natal Luz, realizado na cidade de Gramado/RS, analisando como as culturas estão cada vez mais contaminadas por culturas exógenas, provocadas pelo turismo. O estudo etnográfico aponta para a compreensão do hibridismo cultural presente nas cidades no início do século XXI, condutor da produção de sociabilidades e mecanismos de identificação da cultura, com vistas à potencialização do seu caráter de base e precondição das trocas simbólicas e econômicas.
Por uma Arqueologia Histórica da cidade de Manaus
Authors: Fernandes Flávia de Oliveira , Santos Tatiana de Lima Pedrosa
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar algumas considerações da interface da Arqueologia Histórica na cidade de Manaus, socializando também as pesquisas desenvolvidas pelo Núcleo Interdisciplinar de Pesquisas Arqueológicas da Bacia Amazônica – NIPAAM, referentes a este campo. A Arqueologia Histórica contempla o estudo da cultura material do passado mais recente compreendendo diversidade de fontes disponíveis, em meio aos processos de transformação desde a chegada dos colonizadores, até um limite temporal não estabelecido, sendo consolidado na década de 1960 nos Estados Unidos (ORSER, 1992; LIMA, 1988; FUNARI, 2005). Com abordagem qualitativa, nos apoiamos tanto nas questões teórico-metodológicas da Arqueologia Histórica como na interdisciplinaridade, pois além da Arqueologia, a cultura material é objeto de estudo de diversas áreas, como a História, a Antropologia, a Museologia entre outras áreas do conhecimento, estando ligada diretamente ao patrimônio cultural, sendo este, uma de suas vertentes. Percebe-se que ao longo dos anos, a grande lacuna referente as pesquisas desenvolvidas e sua publicação em diversos meios,  mostram a necessidade de reverter este quadro no que diz respeito ao compartilhamento de conhecimento produzido sobre essas materialidades, influenciando para o resgate ou construção de  um passado manauara, sua valorização e preservação.
Arqueologia da Diáspora Africana e Contranarrativas sobre o Patrimônio Cultural do Museu da Baronesa (Pelotas, RS)
Authors: Da Rosa Estefania Jaekel
Published: July 2023

Este artigo abordará algumas discussões sobre a invisibilidade negra no Museu Parque da Baronesa, um espaço musealcriado para rememorar a opulência da elite pelotense do século XIX, relegando as memórias dos escravizados aoesquecimento. Isso levou ao questionamento dos visitantes sobre onde estava asenzala dessa propriedade escravista. Contrapondo as narrativas oficiais, as pesquisas arqueológicas realizadas em 2019 revelaram as estruturas de duas casinhas, apontadas pelas fontes históricas e orais como moradia dos ex-escravizados e seus descendentes. Seguindo as referências da Arqueologia da Diáspora Africana, as escavações na possível senzala foram orientadas por um diálogo com a religiosidade de matriz africana, em respeito à ancestralidade e suas ontologias. Por fim, apresentaremos algumas propostas e discussões sobre a preservação e a musealização do sítio arqueológico enquanto lugar de memória, possibilitando a sua integração às novas narrativas sobre a visibilidade negra no Museu.
Memórias da seca no semiárido nordestino: registro vivo na contemporaneidade
Authors: Rodrigues Vânia Maria Pessoa , Souza Bertulino José de , Ferreira José Gomes , Soares Themis Cristina Mesquita
Published: July 2023

A partir de pesquisas realizadas em torno das memórias, esse trabalho tem como objetivos colher narrativas de pessoas mais velhas quanto ao fenômeno da seca (retirantes ou não) e conhecer a percepção delas em relação à convivência com esse período de estiagem. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, que empregou a técnica de História Oral, proposta por Thompson (2002), com base nos estudos sobre memória coletiva de Halbwachs (2013). Os depoentes descreveram cirurgicamente o cenário do enfrentamento das estiagens na figura do trabalho árduo, da dependência das políticas públicas, da imigração, da fome e das mazelas sociais decorrentes da escassez de água. Conclui-se, que as políticas públicas ensejaram mudanças significativas no percurso das sucessivas estiagens, através de medidas implantadas pelos governos, porém, com redução tímida dos impactos sobre a população acometida pelos danos das secas no semiárido nordestino, e por que não dizer, no município de São Miguel/RN.

The conceptual heterogeneity of spirituality has been widely recognized and, for some authors, spirituality does not have a clear definition, being the term used imprecisely and inconsistently, varying according to religion, culture and time and therefore difficult to measure. The theme is so relevant that the Department of Spirituality and Cardiovascular Medicine of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology elaborated and published a Position on arterial hypertension and spirituality – 2021, making it clear that the realization of the spiritual anamnesis is fundamental. We evaluated 200 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to clinical pathologies that were lucid and conscious. Because there is no single and established methodology, it was decided to elaborate a score of easy applicability in the patients evaluated by this group to classify the patient as spiritualized or non-spiritualized. Before classifying them as spiritual or not, the risk of mortality in this hospitalization was calculated through the Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS 3). The 200 patients had a predictive score of death around 20% (18.5% to 21%). Through this sample, it is concluded that the existence of faith and the presence of active spirituality of these patients was one of the factors for the reduction of mortality during their hospitalization during the period in which they remained in the ICU. Another highlight was the lower mortality in women, especially in the non-spiritual group (2.5 times lower). The length of ICU stay did not vary significantly between groups.

Background: Coconut oil, or copra oil is obtained from the nut/kernel of matured coconuts garnered from the Cocosnucifera. Coconut oil is an edible oil derived from the kernels of harvested mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm. In recent decades, this oil has risen to the status of a health food superstar in the health food industry. Celebrities are welcoming its use, nutritionists are promoting it, and patients are praising it for its many benefits. Purpose: This oil has been linked to a range of health advantages. These include improvements in skin care, hair care, stress management, losing weight & cholesterol level management, immune modulatory effects, cardiovascular applications, and, most recently, Alzheimer’s disease. However, for several years, coconut oil was demonised, and consumers were led to believe that it was harmful to their health because it would clog arteries and cause heart disease. The tide has shifted, and in recent years, increased awareness of the favourable health advantages of coconut oil has emerged. Conclusion: The usage of coconut oil, particularly crude coconut oil, is increasingly popular; however some individuals are still doubtful. This present review makes an attempt to provide a scientific assessment of the medicinal qualities of this oil.

The author, as a dialectologist -linguistic-culturalist, draws attention to the advantages of this undertaking as a result of which its participants - students, teachers, and city dwellers - become acquainted with the values of Lubuskie’s countryside, its fauna and flora, cuisine, various artistic endeavours, and opportunities found in the widely understood ecology and a prohealthy lifestyle. The verbalised offers of educational workshops document the potential of the Lubuskie countryside and the inventiveness of its people, for whom running such units is a way of life and an extremely important mission.
Simpel oder anspruchsvoll? Konkrete Poesie und Elfchen im DaF-Unterricht
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Bilut-Homplewicz Zofia , Hanus Anna ,   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we intend to draw attention to the linguistic, cultural and historical aspects of two types of poems popular in German, the so-called Konkrete Poesie and Elfchen, their different forms, as well as their application to teaching a foreign language (here German). Konkrete Poesie (i.e. concrete or visual poetry) has its own literary tradition, and although it was not originally designed for foreign language teaching, it proves effective in this respect. It requires learners to interpret apparently simple texts creatively, which is always linked to the reflection on the interplay between the poem’s visual layout and its overall message. Elfchen, otherwise Elf-Worte-Gedicht (i.e. eleven-word poem), is a type of poetry derived from early childhood education. Applied in German-speaking countries since the late 1980s, it has been successfully transferred to foreign language teaching. Its main purpose is to encourage creative writing and interpretation of short lyrical pieces. The examples discussed show that these distinct lyrical forms can enrich foreign language teaching at different levels of proficiency.
Inkluzja społeczna osób z niepełnosprawnością na przykładzie działalności Fundacji Handicup Zakopane
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Krupa-Potoczny Monika
Published: July 2023

The paper deals with the social integration of people with disabilities, with special attention to the socialisation of children and young people. People with physical or mental disabilities are particularly vulnerable to disabilities in terms of psychomotor skills and independence. The present study aims to highlight the importance of organisations, including the Zakopane Handicup Foundation, which are committed to supporting young people with disabilities in their comprehensive development. The Foundation focuses on social inclusion in the broadest sense. The Handicup Foundation is a non-governmental organization that has been active in Zakopane since 2014. The main objective of the Foundation is to promote physical culture and sports, especially for people with temporary or permanent disabilities. In addition, Handicup deals with the integration of athletes with diverse psycho-physical abilities. In addition, some members of the organization, including children, are qualified to participate in the Paralympic Games. The issue of social inclusion of people with disabilities continues to be an open topic for scientific debate identifying new ways of supporting people with disabilities.
Humanistyczne „zwroty” w perspektywie metodologicznej
Authors:   Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy, Strzelecki Ryszard
Published: July 2023

The paper deals with ”turns” that shape the face of today’s humanities, and captures their specificity in perspective and provides methodological evaluation of them. The ”turns” were referred to their immediate research context, i.e. the new philosophy of science: Popper, Lakatos, Lauden, Feyerabend, and Kuhn. All convergences and irregularities in the orientation of ”turns” in relation to the assumptions made there were shown. It turned out that they implement these assumptions to a limited extent. The approaches to ”turns” proposed by other researchers were also broadly discussed. Moreover, their attitudes to the tradition of the humanities and breaches from this tradition were demonstrated. However, a key feature of ”turns” is their departure from the modern logic of science, rationality of scientific cognition, and the principles of the general methodology of science. The most important examples of the ontological reductionism and of the violation of the ontological status of man were also discussed. These abuses are illustrated based on four selected ”turns”: performative, ”towards things”, biological and digital in the transhumanist version.
Kluczem do baśni może być wytrych – debiutancki arkusz poetycki Andrzeja Piskulaka
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach, Olszańska-Smolarek Edyta
Published: July 2023

The paper is devoted to the debut sheet of poetry by Andrzej Piskulak, a poet, prose writer, publisher and journalist associated with the Świętokrzyskie region. Poetry was the first literary genre from which he began his adventure with literature and to which he remained faithful for years, despite other forms of writing activity,in addition to many years of journalistic activity. These achievements are a significant contribution to the cultural heritage of the Świętokrzyskie region, nevertheless, Piskulak’s work has not yet been comprehensively analyzed in the subject literature. Poetry became a driving force in the development of his literary genres and journalistic practice, and this is why the first volume of poetry seems to be crucial in his further writing perspective. In „A Lockpick can be a key to a fairy tale” (1980), he takes up threads that he will continue and develop in a more orderly and mature way, crystallizing his vision of the philosophical and worldview world, set in a geopoetic space – the Świętokrzyskie region, the poet’s small homeland.

In the paper Jan Marx i Tadeusz Różewicz. Dwaj bohaterowie książki „Pomiędzy wieżą Babel a wieżą z kości słoniowej. O poezji Tadeusza Różewicza” (Jan Marx and Tadeusz Różewicz. Two heroes of the book „Between the Tower of Babel and the Tower of Ivory. On the poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz”) two attitudes towards life, that of the author of the book in question and that of the protagonist, were compared. They are both secular humanists who want to make human life rational and moral. Marx, however, accepts suicide as a remedy for evil, while Różewicz affirms life.
Od cierpienia do nadziei – paradoksy w poezji księdza Janusza Pasierba
Authors:   Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy, Wasielewska Magdalena
Published: July 2023

The paper deals with the poetry of Janusz Pasierb. It draws attention to the importance of paradoxes in this poetry. The Catholic priest focuses on difficult topics, pain and suffering, pointing out that these experiences are inextricably linked with human life. He also notes that those chosen by God struggle with various problems harder than others. This does not mean, however, that one should give up: his texts convey a clear message that through difficulties man draws closer to the Creator and opens to Christian hope, a saving perspective.

Identity is an important term in postmodern culture. In Poland, following the transformation after 1989, there appeared many articles that deal with this topic. In order to show the richness and complexity of postmodern literary and psychoanalysis texts, many comparative analyses were carried out based on various theoretical assumptions. In this paper, depending on the issue under study, the authors drew from the findings of: psychoanalysis, deconstruction, feminism and „gender studies”. This paper discusses the complexity of identity. „Guguła” by Wioletta Grzegorzewska is an example of women’s literature in which the protagonist discovers her own femininity. The male realization of the identity problem was discussed based on Wit Szostak’s „Poniewczasie”. In order to present the complexity of gender identity as a whole, reference was also made to the novel by Natalia Osińska „Fanfik”, in which the protagonist is a transgender person. The paper also presents a capacious and very complex psychological point of view on the issue of identity. The study is interdisciplinary, with particular emphasis on literature and psychology, but also on philosophical and sociological elements.
Słowo Boże w słowie ludzkim w kontekście nowego feminizmu
Authors:   Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy, Kogut Joanna
Published: July 2023

In the face of God’s greatness and perfection, man is still an imperfect being, and understanding God’s Word is related to a predetermined failure. This makes the Holy Scripture a challenge for many researchers. Proving the truthfulness of the content featured in it raises considerable disputes between its interpreters. Although many outstanding theologians, from the Fathers of the Church and well-respected contemporary authority figures try to get a grasp of this unfathomable mystery of the Word of God, they also look at the new aspects in this extraordinary piece of writing. The need of today once again speaks in favor of looking at both these interpretations as well as their interpreters. Currently, more and more often it is women who become the subject of experiencing their own faith with reflection and its formulation, and thus theologizing it. God’s Word contained in the Scriptures is subjected to new analyses taking into account the female experience and the way women describe the world. There emerges a new way of theological thinking from the point of view of women. It seems necessary to respond to the voices of contemporary feminists, and in particular to the direction of thinking that John Paul II refers to as a ”new feminism”.

Published: July 2023

Our essay is dedicated to the memory of Professor Henryk Kurczab, who in his scientific output and teaching activities devoted a lot of time to the language culture at school and issues concerning integrating the purposes and contents of education. We demand appreciation for the punctuation in school linguistic education. We draw attention to pupils’ poor knowledge of punctuation rules in written texts. It is proved by numerous mistakes in interpunction and related syntax errors. We point to civilization and culture as well as didactic factors, which influence the decrease of the punctuation skills levels of children and youth. On the grounds of survey research we are discussing the condition of Polish teachers’ methodological preparation to teach punctuation, among others their familiarity with dictionaries and punctuation guides, types of exercises and the application of the principle of integrating the punctuation with teaching syntax. The attachment to this essay includes the classification of punctuation errors, which is important to increase the teachers’ didactic awareness. It was prepared by professor Jerzy Podracki – a linguist and language didactician.

Integrating literary education with language education ranks among those research topics which invariably attract the attention of everyone interested in teaching. The authors of the paper aim to revisit an “old” method of literary analysis, namely, a “literary tribunal” over a literary protagonist, as well as to explore a different, “newer” method of teaching, namely a document analysis. Both methods reinforce the integrative character of education.

The aim of the paper is to develop a scenario of blended learning of World Literature based on studying the topic “Creativity of Adam Mickiewicz”. It uses the popular rotating model of “inverted class” and various forms of work, such as lecture, test, individual tasks, practical session, video conference, and questionnaire. The proposed scenario was integrated into the MOODLE distance learning platform of Donbas State Pedagogical University (Slovyansk, Ukraine). In short, blended learning requires the creation of educational and methodological support that meets modern quality standards for the provision of educational services – accessibility, interactivity, multimediality. Blended learning technologies make it possible to apply a wide range of forms and teaching aids that contribute to the personalization of the educational process, make it possible to implement the entire range of elements of mastering the material (from knowledge to assessment), and activate the search activity of not only students, but also lecturers.

Influence of edge proximity on concrete breakout failure in post-installed RC columns foundation joints
Authors: Cattaneo Sara , Mahadik Vinay , Genesio Giovacchino , Hofmann Jan
Published: July 2023

This paper discusses findings from an experimental program aimed at investigation of concrete breakout failure within the rebar end anchorage zone of reinforced concrete column-to-foundation joints, with columns located in proximity of foundation edge/s. A total of four tests on full scale column foundation joints are presented. In all specimens the column main reinforcement is anchored in the foundation using post-installed rebar technology. All connections are designed with the objective to trigger concrete breakout failure mode within the rebar end anchorage zone. Finite element analyses were used as a tool to design the specimens. The paper presents discussion of the test results within the framework of expectations outlaid during design of the test specimens. The effects of bending compression from column on the concrete breakout capacity under influence of foundation edges is the specific focus of the present investigation. It is shown that the direction of application of load on the column largely determines the effect of bending compression from column on concrete breakout capacity. The test data presented in this paper offers the necessary benchmark data on concrete breakout behavior in the case of reinforced concrete column foundation joints under influence of foundation edges. This test data along with insights from finite element analyses is employed to explore and possibly identify necessary modifications to the current state-of-the-art consideration of concrete breakout capacity for reinforced concrete connections.
A Content Analysis of Postgraduate Theses Examining the Effectiveness of Writing Interventions in Türkiye
Authors: KANSIZOĞLU Hasan Basri
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to examine postgraduate theses in Türkiye in which the effectiveness of writing interventions was investigated in a multidimensional way. In this context, 157 theses designed with action research or experimental/quasi-experimental methods were subjected to content analysis. Descriptive characteristics of the theses such as type, year, educational/grade level and research method were analyzed using the manifest approach, whereas the sections suitable for interpretation and synthesis such as recommendations were analyzed using the latent approach. Both approaches were used to analyze writing interventions, writing outcomes, keywords, and the implementation processes in the theses. The data were analyzed with MAXQDA 2022 software. According to the study results, lower secondary school was the level of education in which the most applications were made, and the pre-test/post-test control group design was the most preferred in theses. Creative writing, web-based technology, text type/structure-based instruction and the process writing approach were the writing interventions, the effects of which were most frequently researched. The elements of writing with the most reported findings were internal structure/content, external structure/form, and the stages of writing. The study included results that would enable teachers, researchers, and educational administrators to make theoretical and pedagogical inferences about writing instruction.

Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Schurov Nicholay I. , Vnukov Sergey A. ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: July 2023

The main problems of this study include an unstable load level, a large number of accelerations and decelerations, as well as a reverse operation of the traction motor. The goal is to develop an energy efficient drive based on the driving cycle to solve the above problems. In this work, an analysis of the WLTC driving cycle was carried out and its main characteristics were studied on the basis of test procedures under various operating conditions. The electric motor (EM) power is calculated based on the characteristics of the selected vehicle. Traction characteristics are built for various acceleration parameters and a specific engine model is selected. The traction drive was simulated based on the WLTC motion cycle in the “Matlab Simulink” software environment. The main model blocks are described and dependencies confirming the adequacy of mathematical modeling are displayed on oscilloscopes. A suitable energy storage device has been selected based on the battery comparison table. Ultimately, the power plant of an electric car was simulated taking into account the WLTC load cycle, under various input parameters and conditions.
Revisiting Purchasing Power Parity in OECD Countries: New Evidence from Nonlinear Unit Root Test with Structural Breaks
Authors: UĞUR Mehmet Sedat , ALPER Ali Eren
Published: July 2023

This study aims to investigate the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis for 38 OECD member countries over the period 1994:M1-2021:M9 by performing Hepsag’s (2021) unit root test. It fills the gap in the literature since it is one of the first studies conducted performing a unit root test that considers structural change and nonlinearity for all OECD countries. The study, in which conventional unit root tests such as the ADF, KPSS, and the Fourier KPSS, which allow merely structural change, yield conflicting results regarding the validity of the PPP hypothesis, determines that the PPP hypothesis is valid for countries with stationary real effective exchange rates at the level such as Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the USA according to Hepsag’s (2021) unit root test results.

The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features and demographic characteristics of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) patients, specifically choriocarcinoma (CC), placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT). We utilized data from a local hospital and the SEER database, as well as survival outcomes of CC in SEER database. Additionally, we used multiple risk factors to create a prognostic nomogram model for CC patients. The study included GTN patients from the SEER database between 1975 and 2016 as well as those from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University between January 2005 and May 2022. Related factors of patients were compared using the chi-square (χ2) or Fisher's exact test. For assessing overall survival we employed the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. To construct the nomogram, we used Cox regression. Statistically significant differences were found between CC and PSTT/ETT patients in terms of surgery in local hospital, as well as age and year of diagnosis in the SEER database. Moreover, significant differences were observed between low and high (HR) /ultra-high risk (UHR) groups regarding FIGO stage, surgery and chief complaint at the local hospital, and FIGO stage, surgery and unemployment in the SEER database. The Cox regression analysis confirmed that age, race, surgery, marital status, FIGO stage, and unemployment were correlated with CC prognosis. Furthermore, the analysis showed that patients aged 40 years or older and those with FIGO Ⅲ/Ⅳ were independent prognostic factors of CC. The study indicates that atypical symptoms or signs may be the main reasons for HR /UHR patients to seek medical treatment. Therefore, providing multidisciplinary care is recommended for CC patients experiencing psychological distress due to unfavorable marital status or unemployment.

By producing the required proteins, the process of gene expression establishes the physical properties of living things. Gene expression from DNA or RNA may be recorded using a variety of approaches. Regression analysis has evolved in prominence in the area of genetic research recently. Several of the genes in high dimensional gene expression information for statistical inference may not be related to their illnesses, which is one of the major problems. The ability of gene selection to enhance the outcomes of several techniques has been demonstrated. For censored survival data, the Cox proportional hazards regression model is the most widely used model. In order to identify important genes and achieve high classification accuracy, a new technique for selecting the tuning parameter is suggested in this study using an optimization algorithm. According to experimental findings, the suggested strategy performs much better than the two rival methods in terms of the area under the curve and the number of chosen genes. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the latest work on performance evaluation of regression analysis in gene selection. In addition to its performance analysis, this research conducts a thorough assessment of the numerous efforts done on various extended models based on gene selection in recent years.

Yemeğin yemek olma ötesinde özellikler taşıdığını, yaşadığımız çevreyi sosyal, politik ve ekonomik olarak anlamlandırmada çok önemli bir araç olduğunu anlatan yayınlar, dünyada 1980’lerden beri Türkiye'de son 10 yıldır gittikçe artan bir hızla “yemek çalışmaları” alanı altında kümeleniyor. Bugün dünyada ve Türkiye'deki gastronomi bölümlerinde yemek ve kültür bağlantısını sıkça kuran derslerle beraber sosyoloji ve siyaset bilimi bölümlerinde de yemeğin sosyolojik, siyasal ve ekonomik yansımalarının akademik tartışma ve araştırma konusu olduğuna şahit oluyoruz. Bu akademik ve popüler ilginin yanı sıra yemek özellikle kriz zamanlarında çözüm aracı olma özelliğiyle de toplumsal hayatta kendini gösteriyor. Bu makale yemekle ilgili kurulan ilişkinin boyutlarını ortaya koyan bir literatür taramasının yanında, 11 ili etki altına alan 6 ve 20 Şubat Depremlerinin Antakya ve Antakya mutfak kültürü üzerine düşündürdüklerini tartışmaya açmaktadır.
Food and Foodways of the Maghrebian Diaspora in Turkey: Identity, Belonging, and Integration
Authors: HEDİ NAİRİ Asma
Published: July 2023

The Maghrebian diaspora in Turkey is a significant and understudied population. This research investigates the role of food and foodways in expressing cultural identity, belonging, and integration for Maghrebian migrants residing in Turkey for more than a decade. Using a qualitative research methodology and semi-structured interviews with Tunisian, Algerian, Moroccan, and Libyan migrants, the study examines how food practices shape their sense of belonging and identity in Turkish society. The study finds that food serves as a tool for coping with homesickness, connecting with cultural heritage, and preserving memories of the past. It also reveals the importance of food practices in maintaining a sense of belonging to the broader society, including the family back home and the diasporic community in Turkey, and promoting cultural exchange between the Maghrebian community and Turkish society, thus facilitating the integration process. This study provides important insights into the ways in which food and foodways play a significant role in diaspora community formation and integration.
Interview with Fabio Parasecoli on Food Cultures

As many Italians, I grew up in a house where my mother cooked every day. When we get together, we eat food. So there was already that, but that's part of everybody’s experience around the Mediterranean. I think in Turkey it may be basically the same. Later, when I was working as a journalist in international affairs, I traveled around the world, mostly Asia. And while I was traveling, I was eating, of course, and exploring new places. I started being surprised by the variety of food and the different traditions; I got interested in food as a way to also understand the way people lived. When I was doing this work in international affairs, I started collaborating with a food and wine magazine in Italy called Gambero Rosso. At first, they asked me to write little reviews of ethnic restaurants in Italy, because I had lived in China and Japan, traveled anywhere from Turkey and Syria, to the Philippines. And so I started writing these little texts, professionally. Later, the publisher Stefano Bonilli (who sadly passed away a few years ago) asked me to write longer feature pieces and he sent me to Spain, France, and England. The fact that I spoke different languages helped, of course.

Diyarbakır merkez ilçeleri olan Kayapınar, Yenişehir, Sur ve Bağlar’daki liselerde görev yapmakta olan 652 öğretmen, araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. İlişkisel tarama modeli ile tasarlanmış olan araştırmada değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri tespit etmek amacıyla yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar örgütsel güvenin örgütsel mutluluğu teşvik edebileceğini göstermektedir. Bununla beraber örgütsel güvenin örgütsel sessizlik riskini azaltabileceğine ve örgütsel sessizliğin örgütsel mutluluğu negatif öngörebileceğine yönelik kanıtlar elde edilmiştir. Son olarak örgütsel sessizliğin, örgütsel güven ile örgütsel mutluluk ilişkisinde kısmi aracılık rolüne dair bulgulara da ulaşılmıştır.
Retrospective Review of Double Screw/Double Cord Anterior Scoliosis Correction (ASC) with Thoracic Disc Releases for Thoracic Curves > 65 Degrees: Surgical Techniques and Outcomes
Authors: R. Betz Randal
Published: July 2023

Anterior Scoliosis Correction (ASC) surgery is the proprietary technique of the authors and is an anterior spinal “de-tethering” technique using multiple flexible rod-cords and multiple screw constructs. It is performed through a modified anterior fusion approach that is a muscle-sparing mini-thoracotomy. ASC is the multi-year (since 2013), multi-generational modification of the original anterior vertebral body tethering (VBT) procedure but includes preservation of the segmental arteries and incorporates multilevel releasing techniques of the contracted anterior longitudinal ligament and annular disc complex. Because of this, ASC, unlike VBT, has been shown to derotate the hypokyphotic scoliotic spine effectively towards a more normal thoracic kyphosis and is not restricted to small curves or pediatric patients with growth remaining as is VBT. We retrospectively reviewed all 309 ASC procedures performed between September 2017 and August 2020. 26 patients met the inclusion criteria of a diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and at least a thoracic operative curve with severe coronal curve angles between 66° and 90°, double screw and cord construct, and minimum 2-year follow-up. The results of non-metal rod fusion ASC on severe curves showed an average curve correction of 78.4% in thoracic and 71.2% in lumbar curves in the instrumented curves. Anterior longitudinal ligament and annular disc complex release was performed on all patients having thoracic curves to help obtain adequate correction. An average of 4.1 discs per patient were released, all in the thoracic region. Clinical success with residual curves ≤ 35° was 96% (25/26 curves) in all patients and 92.3% in patients with curves ≤ 30° (24/26 curves). 3D thoracic kyphosis corrected Anterior Scoliosis Correction >65° - 3 an average of 39° from preoperative hypokyphosis of -4° to 35° postoperatively. There were no revisions performed in this group of patients. In conclusion, ASC has potential expanded indications and increased ability to correct severe curves (>65°) in patients with AIS as compared to VBT.
