Authors: Krupoderova E. P. , Bryksina O. F.
Published: July 2018

Introduction:In Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University a tutorial program for first-year students aimed at developing individual educational trajectories of students in the course of their entire education in the university is developed. Each student at the beginning of the training fills in an individual educational plan containing a list of basic disciplines and elective courses studied in the current year in the electronic environment of the university. In addition, the student plans extracurricular  work. Extracurricular work is an integral component of the system of vocational education, allowing, with its effective organization, to form the general cultural, professional and professional competencies of future specialists. The article is devoted to the search for effective forms of extracurricular activity for creative self-realization of students within the framework of individual educational trajectories.

Materials and methods: When writing the article, the following methods were used: analysis of domestic and foreign literature, comparative analysis, and pedagogical experiment.

Results:The experience of the organization of extracurricular activities for future bachelors of directions of preparation "Information systems and technologies" Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University is presented. The possibilities of volunteer activity within the framework of the project "Your course: IT for youth", organization of various events of the week of Russian informatics, networking projects are considered. The didactic potential of the network project activity of students in the framework of the information and educational environment of the basic professional educational program is analyzed. The project method originated more than 100 years ago, but the interest in it does not weaken today, but significantly increases in connection with the transition to a competence-based learning model.  The example of the "Virtual Museum of Russian Informatics" network project demonstrates the features of the research activities of students, the possibilities of their creative self-realization, formation of general cultural and general professional.

Knowledge Management Orientation, Market Orientation, and SME’s Performance: A Lesson from Indonesia’s Creative Economy Sector
Authors: Sabil Hussein Ananda , Rahayu Mintarti , Hirfiyana Rosita Nadiyah , Fitri Ayuni Risca
Published: July 2018

Aim/Purpose: Two research objectives were addressed in this study. The first objective was to determine the effect of knowledge management orientation behaviour on business performance, and the second objective was to investigate the mediating effect of market orientation in the relationship between knowledge management orientation behaviour and business performance.

Background: In business strategic perspective, the idea of knowledge management has been discussed widely. However, there is a lack of study exploring the notion of knowledge management orientation especially in the perspective of Indonesia’s creative economy sector.

Methodology: One hundred and thirty one participants were involved in this study. They were economy creative practitioners in Indonesia. Data were analysed by using Partial Least Squares.

Contribution: Upon the completion of the research objectives, this study contributes to both theoretical and practical perspectives. From a theoretical standpoint, this study proposes a conceptual model explaining the relationship among knowledge management orientation behaviour, market orientation, and business performance in Indonesia’s creative economy sector. As this study found a significant effect of knowledge sharing in market orientation and market orientation in business performance, the study showed the mediation role of market orientation in the relationship between knowledge sharing and business performance. From a practical perspective, this study implies a guideline for business practitioners in enhancing business through the application of knowledge management orientation behaviour.

Findings: The results show that organizing memory, knowledge absorption, and knowledge receptivity has a direct significant effect on business performance. However, in affecting business performance, knowledge sharing must be mediated by market orientation.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Based on the results of the study, practitioners should enhance their behaviour in implementing knowledge management in terms of increasing business performance. In addition, it is suggested that business practitioners must be market driven, as market orientation was found to have an important role in affecting business performance.

Recommendation for Researchers: Future researchers might integrate other constructs such as innovation, marketing capabilities, or organizational learning with this current conceptual model to have more comprehensive insight about the relationship between knowledge management orientation and business performance.

Impact on Society: This study suggests that business practitioners must have knowledge management driven behaviour as well as market orientation to enhance the performance of their business.

Future Research: Future research might add other variables to make the conceptual model more comprehensive and also replicate this study into different industrial settings.

Authors: Mishkina A. I. , Zavadovskiy K. V. , Gulya M. O. , Saushkin V. V. , Lebedev D. I. , Lishmanov Yu. B.
Published: July 2018

Purpose:to assess the cardiac sympathetic activity, perfusion and contractility in ischemic and nonischemic chronic heart failure patients by using a radionuclide methods.

Material and Methods.The study included 33 heart failure patients with NYHA class III and ischemic (n=13.39%) and non-ischemic (n=20.61%) heart failure. All patients underwent123I-MIBG imaging, myocardial perfusion imaging with  99mTc-MIBI and gated blood-pool single-photon emission computed tomography. Based on123I-MIBG study heart to mediastinum ratio as well as123I-MIBG washout rate were calculated. According to the myocardial perfusion imaging, Summed Rest Score was evaluated. Systolic and diastolic functions and ejection fraction as well as mechanical intraventricular dyssynchrony of both ventricles were analyzed by gated blood-pool single-photon emission computed tomography.

Results.There was no statistically significant difference of hemodynamic parameters between the groups. In the first group, which include patients with ischemic heart failure, there were found the following correlations: washout rate and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (0.75; p<0.05), washout rate and left ventricular end-systolic volume (0.68; p<0.05), heart to mediastinum ratio and right ventricular ejection fraction (–0.57; p<0.05). In the group of patients with non-ischemic heart failure there were the following correlation: heart to mediastinum ratio and left ventricular end-systolic volume (–0.77; p<0.05), heart to mediastinum ratio and left ventricular ejection fraction (0.77, p<0.05), heart to mediastinum ratio and right ventricular ejection fraction (0.62, p<0.05), washout rate and left ventricular interventricular dyssynchrony (0.6; p<0.05).

Conclusion.It was found out that heart failure patients were characterized by a correlation between sympathetic activity and volumes, hemodynamics and contractility of heart ventricles. The relationship between the cardiac sympathetic activity and myocardial perfusion as well as contractility depend on the etiology of chronic heart failure.
ULTRASOUND CRITERIA OF THE DIURETIC THERAPY EFFECTIVENESS IN CHRONIC HEART FAILURE
Authors: Kirillova V. V.
Published: July 2018

Evaluating the effectiveness of diuretic therapy in the small circle of blood circulation is difficult for clinicians, as distinct from that in the large circle, where it can be assessed by dynamics of peripheral edema and liver size.

The aimof the study is to develop non-invasive diagnostics of venous pulmonary hypertension in order to determine the effectiveness of diuretic therapy.

In addition to the standard protocol of transthoracic echocardiography, we have investigated the minimum and the maximum pulmonary vein diameter in 30 chronic heart failure patients with III functional class (NYHA) before and after 4 months of standart treatment for chronic heart failure with individual selection of torasemid. All patients received  a written consent to participate in the study. After four months of therapy, a significant improvement of the following echocardiographic parameters was revealed (р<0.05): left atrium dimension (from 42±0.88 to 37.9±0.61 mm); left atrium area (from 28.9±0.91 to 24.2±0.83 sm2); maximum pulmonary vein diameter (from 22.4±0.39 to 17.9±0.62 mm); minimum pulmonary vein diameter (from 11.9±0.27 to 8.4±0.6 mm).

Thus, the transthoracic echocardiography measurement of the pulmonary vein diameter is a non-invasive objective diagnostic of venous pulmonary hypertension for evaluation diuretic therapy effectiveness.
THE IMPACT OF NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL REHABILITATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CLINICAL AND LABORATORY STATUS OF PATIENTS WITH IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
Authors: Privalovа N. I. , Poddubnaya O. A.
Published: July 2018

Irritable bowel syndrome belongs to the category of heavy, hard to treat diseases, which often lead to disability, therefore, the relevance of the restoration of the functional activity of the intestine is not in doubt. We carried out an evaluation of the results of sanatorium-resort treatment of 135 patients with different types of Irritable bowel syndrome (constipation, diarrhea). Age of patients ranged from 18 to 40 years, disease duration from 6 months to 5 years. High effectiveness of complex rehabilitation program in the form of recourse or relief of patient complaints, laboratory remission of the disease and stabilization of the psychological state of patients was proved. It is shown that application in complex rehabilitation of patients of Irritable bowel syndrome amplipuls therapy and millimeter therapy, contributes to more evident improvement in indices of nonspecific resistance and adaptive capacity of the organism, normalization of the intestine’s microflora, and hence increase of the colon the immune protection.
PHENOTYPIC HETEROGENEITY OF CARDIAC MACROPHAGES DURING WOUND HEALING FOLLOWING MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: PERSPECTIVES IN CLINICAL RESEARCH
Authors: Gombozhapova A. E. , Rogovskaya Yu. V. , Rebenkova M. S. , Kzhyshkowska J. G. , Ryabov V. V.
Published: July 2018

Purpose. Myocardial regeneration is one of the most ambitious goals in prevention of adverse cardiac remodeling. Macrophages play a key role in transition from inflammatory to regenerative phase during wound healing following myocardial infarction (MI). We have accumulated data on macrophage properties ex vivo and in cell culture. However, there is no clear information about phenotypic heterogeneity of cardiac macrophages in patients with MI. The purpose of the project was to assess cardiac macrophage infiltration during wound healing following myocardial infarction in clinical settings taking into consideration experimental knowledge.

Material and Methods. The study included 41 patients with fatal MI type 1. In addition to routine analysis, macrophages infiltration was assessed by immunohistochemistry. We used CD68 as a marker for the cells of the macrophage lineage, while CD163, CD206, and stabilin-1 were considered as M2 macrophage biomarkers. Nine patients who died from noncardiovascular causes comprised the control group.

Results. The intensity of cardiac macrophage infiltration was higher during the regenerative phase than during the inflammatory phase. Results of immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated the presence of phenotypic heterogeneity of cardiac macrophages in patients with MI. We noticed that numbers of CD68+, CD163+, CD206+, and stabilin-1+ macrophages depended on MI phase.

Conclusion. Our study supports prospects for implementation of macrophage phenotyping in clinic practice. Improved understanding of phenotypic heterogeneity might become the basis of a method to predict adverse cardiac remodeling and the first step in developing myocardial regeneration target therapy.
Traversal-invariant definability and Logarithmic-space computation
Authors: Lindell Steven , Weinstein Scott
Published: July 2018

In the presence of arithmetic, order-invariant definability in first-order logic captures constant parallel time, i.e. uniform AC⁰ [I]. The ordering is necessary to replicate the presentation of a structure on the input tape of a machine. What if that ordering was in fact a traversal of the structure? We show that an analogous notion of traversal-invariant definability characterizes deterministic logarithmic space (L) and that breadth-first traversals characterize nondeterministic logarithmic space (NL). The surprising feature of these characterizations is that we can work entirely within the framework of first-order logic without any extensions, other than the traversals themselves.
Towards Visual Exploration of Large Temporal Datasets
Authors: Ali Mohammed , Jones Mark W. , Xie Xianghua , Williams Mark
Published: July 2018

Visual analytics for time series data has received considerable attention in previous literature, and different approaches have been developed to understand the characteristics of the data and to obtain meaningful information. Visualizing, analyzing and presenting large temporal datasets are important tasks to understand, navigate and explore such data. Onedimensional time-series charts are usually used to visualize time series data but if the dataset contains multiple time series with a large number of observations a high degree of overlap will occur which may obscure important information. This problem has become a vital challenge in many domains such as finance, biological systems, and meteorology. The need for analyzing and exploring large time-series data led researchers to develop various interactive visualization tools and analytical algorithms which aim to give insight into the data, and most of them either focus on a small number of tasks or a specific domain. We propose a visual analytics system and approach which aims to visualize, analyze, present and explore large temporal datasets. Our approach consists of three main stages which are preprocessing, dimensionality reduction, and visual exploration. It assists with finding the interesting features in the data which are often obscured in the line chart or the visual compression that is required to render the large datasets on a small screen. Also, it helps to obtain an overview of the entire dataset and track changes over time. Moreover, it enables the user to detect clusters and outliers and observe the transitions between data. The juxtaposed views are used to visualize and interact both with raw time series data and projection data. Different time series datasets are deployed on our system, and we demonstrate the utility and evaluate the results using a case study with two different datasets which show the effectiveness of our system.

Dinâmicas culturais da modernidade: um debate sobre identidades e política
Authors: Romero Almada Pablo Emanuel
Published: July 2018

O presente artigo debate as relações entre cultura e modernidade, a partir da epistemologia das ciências sociais e sua incidência nos atuais dilemas da filosofia política. Assim, procura-se compreender se a noção de emancipação pode ser resgatada na análise das dinâmicas culturais, conforme a passagem da modernidade para a pós-modernidade desdobra-se em termos de novos sujeitos e fronteiras fluidas, desfazendo as noções de estrutura social, de território e de Estado. O texto reforça a necessidade de composição de um novo paradigma de reconhecimento que vá para além das prerrogativas críticas estabelecidas nas ciências sociais, ou seja, considerando as diferenças culturais como ponto de apoio. Entende-se que essa opção tende a assegurar tanto a identidade do sujeito subalterno como a possibilidade de construção de sua representação política.

La transparencia en la gestión de los recursos del sistema de salud es una acción que compromete tanto al Estado y sus instituciones, particularmente las de seguridad, disciplinarias e inteligencia, como a la comunidad, por medio de la participación que se logra a partir de las veedurías ciudadanas. Por ello, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo identificar la percepción de los intervinientes del sistema de salud acerca de los componentes del control técnico que le son aplicables, empleando una metodología hermenéutica, documental y de nivel descriptivo, complementada con un estudio de caso a través de encuestas. En estas se identificó que, en el 98 % de los casos, se considera necesario controlar las actividades referentes al sistema de salud; adicionalmente, que el 67.7 %  desconoce la regulación de control técnico. Las anteriores cifras evidencian la necesidad del fomento y capacitación del control técnico dentro del control social participativo.

On Planning in Pakistan (Review Article)
Authors: Khan Aftab Ahmad
Published: July 2018

During the past decade, increasing attention has been given to
the role of agriculture in the process of economic development. One
aspect of the discus¬sion has concerned the significance of relative
prices for farmer in decision¬making. Recent studies have yielded
estimates of supply elasticities for jute in East Pakistan, and for
cotton, wheat, and several other crops in West Pak¬istan, so that a
basic body of information is beginning to emerge. The main purpose of
this note is to supplement these studies by presenting estimates of the
price elasticity of supply for rice in East Pakistan. However, since
rice and jute are the main alternate crops in East Pakistan, supply
elasticities for jute will also be presented. Because of fluctuations in
agricultural yields due to variations in weather conditions, the acreage
response to price has generally been estimated rather than the output
response. Significant changes in the size and timing of the monsoon
rains in East Pakistan make it particularly important in this case to
use acreage changes as a measure of farmer response to price. Inputs
others than land, such as fertilizers, better seeds, and
plant-protection measures are not widely used in East Pakistan; and
apparently, these measures are not very responsive to price changes. At
least, no statistically significant relationship exists between the
relative price of rice (to jute) in one year and rice yields in the next
year. An increased price for rice results in an extension of rice
acreage,) but it does not result in significantly more intensive
cultivation. Under these conditions, the price elasticity of acreage
closely approximates the elasticity of planned output2
Waterlogging and Salinity in the Indus Plain: A Critical
Analysis' of Some of the Major Conclusions of the Revelle Report
Authors: Mohammad Ghulam
Published: July 2018

In September 1962, President Kennedy's Science Advisory
Committee, headed by Dr. Roger Revelle, then Science Adviser to the
United States Secretary of Interior, submitted its Draft Report on
Waterlogging and Salinity in West Pakistan [31]. An analysis of the main
recommendations of this report was published in an earlier issue of this
Review [9, pp.251-279]. Much material was presented in that review
which will not be repeated here. The draft was considerably modified and
final version of the report was prepared in January 1964 after a number
of visits by Dr. Revelle and his colleagues to Pakistan [44]. The report
was conveyed to President Mohammad Ayub Khan of Pakistan by President
Lyndon B. Johnson of the United States with his letter of March 25,
1964. This article analyses the major recommendations of the final
Revelle Report and argues that the solution presented in the Revelle
Report is i) exceedingly costly compared to feasible alternatives, and
ii) is not likely to bring about the necessary increases in agricultural
production assumed in the Revelle Report. We argue that, on the basis of
the evidence now available, far greater increases in agricultural
production can be realized at significantly lower cost than those
recommended in the Revelle Report by alternative me¬thods of land and
water development. These alternatives are presented in Sec¬tion III of
this article.
The Structure of Revenue from Indirect Taxes in Pakistan
Authors: Lewis, Jr. Stephen R. , Qureshi Sarfraz Khan
Published: July 2018

Despite the fact that Central Government indirect taxes make
up approxi¬mately three-fourths of the combined revenue of the Central
and Provincial Governments in Pakistan, virtually no detailed studies of
these taxes and their rate structure, revenue structure, effect on
prices, and effect on resource allocation, have been undertaken as yet.
This paper summarizes some of the preli¬minary findings of one part of
the studies on taxation now underway at the Pakistan Institute of
Development Economics. A companion piece on the rate structure of these
taxes appears in this issue of the Review. Further analysis is
necessary, however, both in combining the results of these two studies
and in bringing to bear other evidence such as price behaviour,
underlying commo¬dity flows, and the impact of the various licensing
systems in operation in Pakistan, before any firm conclusions about the
impact of indirect taxes, ttieir elasticity, and their incidence, can be
formed.

Mohammad Uzair, A Study of Bank Deposits in Pakistan (1947-1962).
(Karachi: Economic Research Academy, 1964. pp.28. Rs. 2.00).
Authors: Porter Richard C.
Published: July 2018

Dr. Uzair's short monograph capably surveys the fundamental
changes which occurred in the Pakistan banking system during the first
fifteen years of its existence. While most of the monograph is little
more than a summary of the published State Bank of Pakistan statistics,
it nevertheless provides a useful picture of the immediately visible
developments in banking during these years. Between and around the facts
and figures, however, there is a very curious ambivalence. On the one
hand, Uzair is impressed with the tremendous growth of bank deposits
over 1947-1963; on the other hand, he is disturbed by the inadequacy of
efforts by the State Bank and commercial banks to foster the development
of banking in Pakistan. This ambivalence arises from Uzair's failure to
recognize that the greater use of deposits and the development of the
"banking habit" are neither goals of an economy nor important
achievements in themselves. The subject he never raises, and which he
should have raised even though it would have required a much longer
monograph, is: Why is it desirable that the banking system seek to
expand deposits ?
Development of the Labour Surplus Economy (Review Article
)
Authors: Islam Nurul
Published: July 2018

The concept of surplus labour has featured prominently in the
recent literature on economic development of underdeveloped,
overpopulated economies. W. A. Lewis in his two celebrated articles [1J
attempted a precise formu¬lation of the concept of surplus labour and
sought to analyse its implications for the strategy of economic
development in the context of a two sector model of economic growth.
Messrs. J. C. H. Fei and Gustav Ranis have undertaken in this book1 an
elaborate extension of the two-sector growth model of W. A. Lewis. The
major directions in which the authors have sought to extend or elaborate
the model and the main results of their efforts in this respect are
contained in their earlier article "Unlimited Supply of Labour and the
Concept of Balanced Growth", published in the Pakistan Development
Review, Winter 1961, Vol. 1, No. 3. The various sections of the article
have now been expanded and elaborated into chapters of the
book*.
Pakistan Revisited: Notes of A Sentimental Arm-Chair Journey
(Review Article )
Authors: Egger Ronald
Published: July 2018

Hardly more than a decade ago a student of the Pakistani
administrative system and civil service was compelled to feel his way
very much in the dark, There was no Constitution, and the Government of
India Act of 1935, as amended, illuminated somewhat imperfectly the
powers of government. The Rules of Business, the Book of Financial
Powers, and the Secretariat Instruc¬tions were little more than
irrelevant collections, hastily cobbled together, of regulations
prevailing in the government of undivided India. A few reports on
Pakistani public administration were available. Some of these were very
bad, such as the Report of the Pakistan Pay Commission of 1949. Some of
them were very good, such as the Jeffries Report on the Development of
Organization and Methods Work in the Pakistan Government of 1952. Some
of them were good within the limits they set for themselves, such as
Creagh Coen's Report of the Administrative Enquiry Committee of 1953.
But in the main they were confined to essentially myopic investigations,
they were informed primarily by the past, they drew their inspiration
from gazing raptly in the mirror of the Indian Civil Service, and they
were altogether unconscious of the extraordinary require¬ments of a new
Nation to which the Past was but Prologue.
A Summary of Input-Output Studies of The Economy of
Pakistan
Authors: Rasul Ghulam
Published: July 2018

The technique of input-output analysis is now being widely
used as a tool for development planning. This technique aims at a
quantitative evaluation of the processes of production and consumption
and the presentation of the results in a single picture. The
quantitative relationships existing between different segments of the
economy are shown in the form of an input-output flow-table which are
then used as coefficients in a mathematical model. The model so formed
is intended to reflect the most important economic variables in the
system and the interrelationships existing between them. Such a model
can indeed be of considerable help in determining consistent sets of
economic policy and facilitating the task of the policy maker in making
a choice between them. The input-output approach has two distinct
aspects. Its more pedestrian side is to depict, by means of a consistent
accounting framework, the inter-industry transactions flow-table for the
entire system and the interdependence between its sectors for the period
to which the data relate. This type of tabulation would obviously be of
considerable intrinsic value by way of showing in summarized form the
availability of the different types of products classified by industries
of origin and their disposal over "intermediate" and "final de¬mand"—the
former created by the productive sectors and the latter involving goods
which will not be subjected to any further process of production.

Attainment of the goals in the international sector of her
economy is essential for the achievements of Pakistan's growth goals for
the Third Five Year Plan. The Plan's growth goals are ambitious, as is
well known: whereas the increase in gross national product during the
overfulfilled Second Five Year Plan was Rs. 9,725 million, the increase
in GNP planned for 1965/66 through 1969/70 is to be Rs. 16,035 million
i. So are the goals in international trade and finance ambitious: in the
Second Plan period, Pakistan's foreign exchange earnings were Rs. 13,252
million [10, p. 96]. They are planned at Rs. 20,000 million for the next
five years. At the same time, foreign exchange requirements are to grow
(absolutely speaking) even more than earnings. Total international
payments by Pakistan during the Second Plan period were an estimated Rs.
21,260 millions [10, p. 96]. In the Third Plan period they are expected
by the planners to be Rs. 35,500 million [10, p. 98]. The widening gap
between earnings and foreign exchange requirements must somehow be met.
This means increasing exports, increasing foreign assistance, or both.
The Government of Pakistan has chosen both, but to attempt to accelerate
Pakistan's own earnings to a rate of growth greater than that of foreign
aid, so as to end the Plan period with a reduced proportional weight of
reliance on other nations.
Age and Social Status at Marriage:
Authors: Korson J. Henry
Published: July 2018

Prior to July 15, 1961, when the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance
[5] came into effect, formal registration of marriages was not required,
although a record of marriages was usually kept by the person performing
the ceremony (Qazis, Mosque Imams, etc.). However, no centralized system
of registration of marriages existed, with the result that no reliable
statistics concerning marriages in Pakistan were available. For all
practical purposes, all Muslim and Hindu marriages in Pakistan are
arranged by the two families. But since 1961 the registration of
marriages has been required, and, as the law applies only to Muslims,
the followers of Islam are expected to adhere to it. At a later date,
perhaps, members of other religious communities may also be required to
register their marriages. Karachi, the major commercial and industrial
city of the nation, as well as its most populous city, is 96.9 per cent
Muslim [7, Vol. 1, Part II, p. 60]. The administration of the Family
Laws Ordinance is left in the hands of the Basic Democrats Union
Committees, and the registration of marriages, as well as other official
business is conducted in the Basic Democrats' Union offices. The city is
divided into a number of registration areas, and, although it is
possible to register marriages elsewhere, residents normally record
their intentions at the local union office in the registration area
where the bride resides.
Tekke Mûsikîmizde Toplu Evrâd-ı Şerîf Okuma Geleneğine Bir Örnek: Rifâî Evrâd-ı Şerîfi

Tekke mûsikîmizde yüzyıllardır her tarikat âyininin

başında yer alan ve dervişlerin zikre rûhî olarak hazır olmalarına yardımcı

olan besteli evrâd-ı şerîfler günümüzde çok az bilinen ve henüz çoğu tespit

edilememiş bir dinî musiki formudur. Her tarikatın pîri tarafından tertîb

edilmiş, bazı sûre, salavât ve duâlardan müteşekkil evrâdlar, belirli bir

müzikal yapıya sahiptir ve her tarikatın zikir günü olarak kabul edilen hafta

gününde zikirden önce ve vakit namazının ardından toplu olarak okunmaktadır.

Dini mûsikîmizdeki bu gelenek çeşitli sebeplerle kesintiye uğramıştır.

1950-60'lı yıllardan sonra dergâhlardaki yüksek mûsikî zevkini tatmış olan ehil

zâtların kişisel gayretleri ile sonraki nesillere aktarılarak günümüze

ulaşmıştır. Toplu evrâd-ı şerîf okuma geleneği üzerine yaptığımız bu çalışmada

öncelikle evrâd literatürü ve tekke kültürümüzdeki yeri hakkında bilgi verdik

ve Rifâî Evrâdı'nın metin olarak ana hatlarını sunduk. Çalışmamızın müzikal

kısmını İstanbul ve Üsküp'te okunan Rifâî evrâdları ile sınırlandırdık.

İstanbul ekolü için Cumhuriyet döneminin son Rifâî şeyhlerinden olan Ken'ân

Rifâî'nin faaliyete geçirdiği ve İstanbul'daki Rifâî usül ve erkânının en yetkin

kişiler aracılığı ile icrâ edildiği Ümmü Ken'ân Dergâhı'ndan bugüne çok değerli

mûsikîşinaslarımız tarafından nesilden nesile aktarılan icrâ tavrını esas

aldık. Üsküp ekolü için ise Üsküp Rifâî Âsitânesi'nden gelen gelenek ile 1956

senesinde Türkiye'ye göç eden âsitânenin 6. şeyhi Mustafa Haznedar Baba ve oğlu

Râik Haznedar tarafından günümüze ulaşmış icrâ tavrını esas aldık. Her iki

coğrafyada okunan evrâd icrâslarını notaya aldık ve müzikal analizlerini

yaptık. Daha sonra beste olarak ne gibi etkileşimleri olduğunun izini sürmeye

çalıştık. Sonuç olarak her iki ekolün benzerlik ve farklılıklarını

incelediğimizde her iki icrânın da kadîm İstanbul Tekke Mûsikîsi'nden doğduğu

ve beslendiği düşüncesi ortaya çıkmaktadır.
Tasavvufta Tevekkül Anlayışı
Authors: GÖKCAN Mansur
Published: July 2018

Dinî

naslarda, her mü’minin mükellef olduğu bir fariza olarak yer alan tevekkül,

tasavvufta da önemli bir makam olarak yer almaktadır. Bir işte acziyet gösterip

işi başkasına havale etmek anlamını taşıyan tevekkülde, Allah’a güven ve

teslimiyet esastır. Güvenmek ve itimat etmek, tanımakla ilgilidir. Bir kimsenin

marifeti arttıkça güveni de artar. Allah’a en çok güvenen kimse, O’nu en çok

tanıyan kimsedir. Peygamberlerin, Allah’a en çok güvenen kimseler olmaları,

Allah’ı en iyi tanıyan kimseler olmalarındandır. Bu durum, tevekkülün

derecesinin, marifetin derecesine bağlı olduğunu da göstermektedir. Eşyanın

varlığı kendisinden olmadığı gibi, sahip olduğu güç de kendisinden değildir.

“Işığın ve hararetin sebebinin güneş” olduğunu zannetmek gaflettir. Bütün

varlıklar Allah’la mevcuttur ve O’nun verdiği güçle varlığını sürdürmektedir.

Bu hakikate yakîn olarak ulaşan kimse, Allah’tan başkasında güç ve kuvvet

olmadığını idrak ederek yaratılana değil yaratıcıya güvenir. Sadece O’ndan

yardım diler ve O’na teveccüh eder. Allah’ın, bütün mahlûkatın rızkına kefil

olduğu bilgisiyle rızık kaygısı çekmeyerek huzur ve sükûn içerisinde yaşar.

Allah’a inanmanın gereği olan tevekkül, başa gelenlere karşı sabır ve rıza

göstermeyi, aza kanaat etmeyi, mutlak bir güveni ve teslimiyeti öngörür.

Tevekkül, sağlam bir havf ve recâ anlayışına sahip olmayı da gerektirir.

Allah’tan korkan kimse, başkasından korkmaz. Allah da, kendisinden korkan ve

ümitvâr olan kimseyi başkasının eline bırakmaz. İyi görünen şeylerin sonu kötü,

kötü görünen şeylerin sonu da iyi olabilir. İşlerin iç yüzünün ve akıbetinin

bilgisi sadece Allah’a ait olduğu için, Allah’a güvenmek, işleri O’na havale

etmek ve takdirine rıza göstermek gerekir. Kalbin işi olan tevekkül, bedenen

çalışmaya engel değildir. Tevekkül, hiçbir şey yapmadan sadece kalben güvenip

beklemeyi değil, aynı zamanda bedenen gereken gayret ve çabayı sarf etmeyi de

icap ettirir. Tevekkül, rızk kaygısı çekmeyerek huzurlu bir hayat yaşamanın,

başkasına muhtaç olamayarak izzet ve şerefi korumanın yoludur.
İbn Dakīkul‘îd’in el-İḳtirâḥ Adlı Eserinden Hareketle Hadis Öğretimine Dâir Bazı Öneriler
Authors: DURMUŞ Üzeyir
Published: July 2018

İbn Dakīkul‘îd, hadis usûlüne dair kaleme aldığı

el-İḳtirâḥ adlı eserinde farklı bir yöntem takip etmiş; kitabının ilk yarısında

hadis ıstılahlarını açıklamış, ikinci yarısında ise hayatın tümünü kuşatan 279

sahîh hadise yer vermiştir. Bir hadis usûlü eserinde bu şekilde çok sayıda

hadis rivâyetine yer verilmesi ondan önce ve sonra başka muhaddislerde pek

görülmemektedir. Makâlede İbn Dakīkul‘îd’in bu özel eseri incelenmiş, ilgili

eserin hadis öğretimi noktasında –her yönden olmasa da bazı yönlerden– güzel

bir örnek teşkil ettiği üzerinde durulmuş, bu eserden hareketle lise ve

üniversitelerdeki hadis öğretiminin muhtevasının nasıl olması gerektiğine dair

bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Bu bağlamda, imam hatip liselerinde ve ilahiyat

fakültelerindeki hadis öğretiminin ilk aşamasında hadis ıstılahlarının gereksiz

yere uzatılmadan yeterli bir şekilde açıklanıp çok sayıda hadis metni

okutulmasının öğrencinin hadis dersine motive olması açısından önemli olduğuna

dikkat çekilmiştir. Ayrıca ilahiyat fakültelerindeki hadis öğretimi kapsamında

ikinci aşamada ülkemizin ihtiyaçlarına göre, geniş kapsamlı, düzenli ve

üniversite tahsili esnasında tamamlanabilecek boyutta hazırlanmış olan bir

hadis metninin okutulmasının faydalı olacağı savunulmuştur.

A clever idea is frequently necessarily the key to solve mathematics problems from Prasolov books. Modern mathematics, especially the theory of NP-completeness starting from the classical book of [1], also gradually moves forward similarly. Continuing the years-long tale of that theory, we add another result claiming the hardness of one more problem, namely Maximum triangle-free induced subgraph.
LEVELIZED COST OF ENERGY (LCOE) ANALYSIS OF HEXCRETE WIND TOWERS
Authors: Nahvi Ali
Published: July 2018

Wind power generation has witnessed a dramatic growth in the 21st century. The Department of Energy (DOE) had a vision for wind energy that it would change into an extensively greater part of overall power generation in the U.S. by 2050. As specified by the DOE, wind power generation has grown by trifold from 2008 to 2013. This study presents a constructible, financially feasible alternative wind tower design to the 80 m steel tower platform which has the potential to decrease the overall Levelized cost of energy (LCOE). A hexagonal concrete wind tower solution is evaluated to facilitate the fabrication of a taller wind turbine generator to harvest more powerful, stable, and frequent wind resources for elevating wind energy production to cut down the overall LCOE. Subject matter experts from the industry were benefitted from to develop a process and estimate the cost and schedule of development and assembly of this process. To mitigate uncertainties and quantify risks, a sensitivity analysis was carried out on cost and schedule estimates. Also, estimating LCOE of wind towers is a primary requirement for efficient assimilation of wind power generation in the electricity market. In the state of Iowa, wind power is rapidly becoming a significant electricity generator. Unpredictable outputs and different options for deploying wind towers are one of the major problems of power system operators. Good estimation tools are important and will be needed to integrate wind energy into the economic power plant. The other objective of this research is to propose a GIS-based map to visualize LCOE of different wind tower construction options in various locations. Therefore, wind speed GIS mapping by using weather information will be crucial. Calculation of energy output by applying wind gradient formula to wind speeds energy are performed. The research concludes of Hexcrete towers can be achieved by use of the 120m and 140 m Hexcrete tower platform on certain wind sites in the United States.
