Investigation of the Effect of Kastamonu Historical Bazaar Area on Urban Morphology
Authors: Karakuş Filiz
Published: June 2023

The most important step in the tendency of human beings to change their natural environment is urbanization. Cities are in constant change with re-adaptation of different parts, which developed spontaneously or consciously planned under different socio-economic, natural, religious, and political conditions. Anatolian cities are the simplest and most modest reflections of traditional Turkish-Islamic life. Kastamonu, one of these cities, blends its structure built on this Turkish-Islamic life system with the topography of the region, climatic data, cultural layers, lifestyle, and architectural features of the local people and becomes original with its own internal dynamics. In this study, urbanization, and settlement features of Kastamonu city in the historical process are discussed. Kastamonu historical city center and historical bazaar area were examined by discussing how the main axes shaped in line with unchangeable natural data became subjectivized by human hands and the components of the traditional urban texture in the context of the border, and the morphological inputs of these components were mentioned.

Published: June 2023

With the development of information technology, societies have become a part of both national and international progress by turning the opportunities using the tools offered by technology. The basic concepts that are important to better understand digital society and its relations with the general framework have been discussed. The 'digital society' consists of institutions, groups, and individuals organized cybernetically around a certain interest relationship, which realize their relations, interactions, connections, and communications with technology via the internet. The structure of the digital society reflects the nature of digital technology as people, technology, business, culture; and social interactions evolve and emerge. There is a need for new frameworks that can transform the complexity of the reshaped world into manageable ideas and shape our perspective.

Authors: Ata Fırat
Published: June 2023

Digital culture is a concept that has gained attention due to the effectiveness of new communication technologies and new media in daily and social life. The structural link between digital culture and new communication technologies necessitates the transformation of concepts such as production and consumption and/or re-evaluation with additional expressions. Within the scope of this study, which focuses on the role of new communication technologies in digital culture, the dimensions of production and consumption are evaluated. According to the literature review carried out within the scope of the study, production and consumption processes can occur together in digital culture. At this point, users who are producers-consumers can also be producers of the content they consume by using the possibilities and features of new communication technologies in digital culture. The fact that production and consumption forms in new media environments directly or indirectly serve the capitalist order is another important piece of information reached within the scope of the study.

Authors: Santos Silva Luan Carlos , Ten Caten Carla Schwengber
Published: June 2023

The objective of this study is to analyze the technology transfer flow in Brazil from 2000 to 2014, considering the domestic and foreign markets, and also the activities carried out by universities and technological institutes from 1972 to 2015. From results, Brazil has been receiving technologies from major economic powers such as the United States, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, and Spain. The barriers regarding cooperation between university-industry are still present, currently there are 27.523 research groups distributed in all areas of knowledge, but only 0.31% develops activities related to technology transfer, and 58% do not establish any relationships with industry. Notwithstanding, the technology supply must depend on the technological diffusion process and the adoption of technology by the society through continuous learning, thereby enabling to increase the performance of services, processes, and products in the domestic market.

Published: June 2023

We are living in an age in which technological developments are stunning. Each change facilitates the lives of humans and introduces innovation. Individuals can complete most of their work independently of time and space thanks to smart devices and internet access. Although these technological developments are built to facilitate our lives, spending too much of our time on these devices also has a dangerous aspect. Continuously spending time on social media via these smart devices, or having the opportunity to play downloaded games all the time, lays the foundation of new behavioural addictions of our age. This study investigates the digital game tendency of Generation Z individuals who were born with this technology and have a good command of this technology by in-depth interview method. The target number of participants for the in-depth interviews considering gender equality is 18 participants. This study aims both to measure the digital game addiction tendency of Generation Z individuals and to synthesise opinions regarding addiction.

Authors: Erdem Özge Akcaoğlu , Erdem Ahmet Tuncay
Published: June 2023

While it is known that the COVID-19 epidemic has adversely affected many countries in the world, the stress and anxiety experienced by elderly individuals, especially during pandemic periods, has been more than that of younger individuals. The avoidance of the disease, especially by individuals over the age of 65, has prevented these individuals from communicating face-to-face with other people. In this context, the main purpose of the research is to determine the effect of communication concerns of individuals over the age of 65 on social media addiction. The research question was determined as “Does the communication anxiety seen in individuals over the age of 65 have an effect on social media addiction during the COVID-19 process?” In order to answer the research question, a study was conducted on the population of individuals over the age of 65 living in Konya. 423 individuals who use social media actively participated in the research. As a result of the research, it was determined that communication anxiety strengthens social media addiction behavior.
An Intergenerational Comparison Within the Framework of Digital Minimalism
Authors: Kizbaz Arzu
Published: June 2023

Mankind is by nature a social being, and therefore wants to be able to look face to face, to chat, to see and feel while looking. Not being able to communicate face-to-face—only communicating through social media—is not enough, and this situation creates new problems by multiplying the deficiencies. Minimalism is a space of liberation. Self-sufficiency is a must for renewing and producing itself. Harari describes those who cannot transform in this digital age as 'global superfluous.' To transform is to adapt to digital, but not to get lost in digital. Digital minimalism proposes to filter information with the philosophy of 'less is more.' In this philosophy, balance is essential. This study will analyze the approaches of X, Y, and Z generations to digital minimalism by in-depth interview technique. In this context, in the digitalizing universe, the concepts of loneliness, liberation, socialization and self-sufficiency will be traced.

Published: June 2023

Robust optimization over time can effectively solve the problem of frequent solution switching in dynamic environments. In order to improve the search performance of dynamic robust optimization algorithm, a dynamic robust particle swarm optimization algorithm based on hybrid strategy (HS-DRPSO) is proposed in this paper. Based on the particle swarm optimization, the HS-DRPSO combines differential evolution algorithm and brainstorms an optimization algorithm to improve the search ability. Moreover, a dynamic selection strategy is employed to realize the selection of different search methods in the proposed algorithm. Compared with the other two dynamic robust optimization algorithms on five dynamic standard test functions, the results show that the overall performance of the proposed algorithm is better than other comparison algorithms.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are three dimensionally arranged compounds of bridged organic ligands coordinately bonded with inorganic cluster. The large surface area with large pore volume of MOFs introduces wide application in catalysis field. With accurate combination of organic and inorganic bridging units we can alter the chemical, thermal stability as well as its porosity. Luminescence is the one of the most important properties exhibited by Metal organic frameworks (MOFs). This luminescent property of MOFs is highly sensitive for guest interaction due to which they are used in the detection of various toxic substances, organic pollutants. Based on their high sensitivity and selectivity they are applied in the field of sensors, different environmental applications, various clean energies, optoelectronic devices, medical and biological applications.
Synthesis and VUV Spectral Properties of Red-Emitting K2Gd0.97Zr (PO4)3:3mol%Eu3+ Phosphor via Down-Conversion
Authors: Jaiswal Shailesh R. , Nagpure Pankaj A. , Omanwar Shreeniwas K.
Published: June 2023

K2Gd0.97Zr (PO4)3:3mol% Eu3+ were prepared by the solid-state diffusion method and under a vacuum ultra-violet (VUV) region, photoluminescence properties of the phosphor were examined. The phenomenon of visible quantum harvesting via DC was observed in synthesized phosphor for the Gd3+–Eu3+ pair. In the process of quantum harvesting, the two visible light photons are emitted per absorbed VUV photon. This phenomenon occurred upon the 190 nm excitation of Gd3+ at the 6GJ level through a two-step energy transfer from Gd3+ to Eu3+ by cross-relaxation and sequential transfer of the remaining excitation energy. The consequences are that the quantum efficiency of the K2Gd0.97Zr (PO4)3:3mol% Eu3+ phosphor in the energy transfer process from Gd3+ to Eu3+ could reach 233%. The quantum efficiency goes to more than 200% (i.e., 233%) at just low concentration Eu3+ ions (i.e. 3% only). This novelty was found in the prepared phosphor. Therefore, the phosphor K2Gd0.97Zr (PO4)3:3mol% Eu3+ was a potential quantum harvester and potential candidate for mercury free fluorescent lamp and plasma display panel.
The Impact of Gas-Liquid Dispersed Flow on Heat Exchanger Performance with Improvement Using CuO Nanofluid
Authors: Hathal Mustafa M. , Hasan Basim O. , Majdi Hasan Sh.
Published: June 2023

Both the air-water dispersion coefficient and the air-nanofluid (CuO) dispersion coefficient were studied and measured in a double-pipe heat exchanger. Pumping air into a tank fitted with a Rushton turbulent impeller resulted in gas-liquid dispersion. In order to test the effects of varying operating conditions on the air-water and air-nanofluid dispersions, they were heated and pumped into the tube of a double-pipe heat exchanger. Reynolds numbers of Rec= 4750-13100 on the shell side and Reh=19900-64000 on the tube side were used to get the total heat transfer coefficient (Uo). The dispersion in the hot fluid tank was achieved by combining the two-phase fluids using a Rushton turbine impeller. It was discovered that the conscious phase saw a significant drop in the heat transfer coefficient when the air bubbles dissipated. Because the impeller's agitation speed affects the rate at which air bubbles are broken, the heat transfer coefficient in the case of dispersion rises as Reh and Rec rise. For all examined parameter values, CuO nanofluid showed significant heat transfer improvement. The heat transfer rate of gas-liquid dispersion increases by nanofluid by as much as 135.5% compared to gas-liquid dispersion which is considered the first attempt for heat transfer enhancement of two phase flow (gas-liquid dispersion) using Nano fluid.
Smart Contracts in Construction from Management to Materials: Acting as a Bridge between the Two
Authors: Forman Norbert , Udvaros József
Published: June 2023

The goal of this article is to demonstrate how smart contracts can be leveraged via blockchain technologies. This will enable us to create a bridge between management and the materials used in the construction industry. It is all too common for construction projects to encounter a number of problems along the way, including a lack of communication between builders, laborers, and vendors. As a result of these issues, the proposed timelines and quality of construction end up being compromised. Oftentimes, stakeholders involved in the project are not quite aware of the quality and quantity of materials that will be used to complete the project. It is precisely this problem that we aim to solve through the use of blockchain technology. As a result of the use of blockchain technology, smart contracts offer transparency and trust to their stakeholders. In order to achieve our primary objective, we intend to leverage the advantages of blockchain. This will enable us to ensure clear visibility of construction materials, deadlines, subcontractors and any other elements that are part of a construction project.

Activated T cells undergo metabolic reprogramming to meet anabolic, differentiation, and functional demands. Glutamine supports many processes in activated T cells, and inhibition of glutamine metabolism alters T cell function in autoimmune disease and cancer. Multiple glutamine-targeting molecules are under investigation, yet the precise mechanisms of glutamine-dependent CD8 T cell differentiation remain unclear. We show that distinct strategies of glutamine inhibition by glutaminase-specific inhibition with small molecule CB-839, pan-glutamine inhibition with 6-diazo-5-oxo-l-norleucine (DON), or by glutamine-depleted conditions (No Q) produce distinct metabolic differentiation trajectories in murine CD8 T cells. T cell activation with CB-839 treatment had a milder effect than did DON or No Q treatment. A key difference was that CB-839–treated cells compensated with increased glycolytic metabolism, whereas DON and No Q–treated cells increased oxidative metabolism. However, all glutamine treatment strategies elevated CD8 T cell dependence on glucose metabolism, and No Q treatment caused adaptation toward reduced glutamine dependence. DON treatment reduced histone modifications and numbers of persisting cells in adoptive transfer studies, but those T cells that remained could expand normally upon secondary Ag encounter. In contrast, No Q–treated cells persisted well yet demonstrated decreased secondary expansion. Consistent with reduced persistence, CD8 T cells activated in the presence of DON had reduced ability to control tumor growth and reduced tumor infiltration in adoptive cell therapy. Overall, each approach to inhibit glutamine metabolism confers distinct effects on CD8 T cells and highlights that targeting the same pathway in different ways can elicit opposing metabolic and functional outcomes.

Authors: Cevallos-Culqui Alex , Pons Claudia , Rodriguez Gustavo
Published: June 2023

The continuous increase of digital documents on the web creates the need to search for information patterns that allow the categorization of organizational documents to generate knowledge in an institution. An Artificial Intelligence technique for this purpose is text classification, it for its application uses labels (previously categorized documents) with supervised (with labels) or unsupervised (without labels) training models. Both traditional models with their advantages and disadvantages have been joined into semi-supervised models that extract the best qualities of each one, however, the labeling process involves resources and time that try to be optimized to improve classification accuracy.

An analysis of the different semi-supervised models would show us the advantages of their training and the way how the structure of each of them affects the accuracy of their classification. In the present study, a classification structure of the semi-supervised models in the classification of documents is proposed to analyze their qualities and categorization process, through an SLR (Revision of systematic literature) that extracts performance metrics from the identified studies to perform a meta-analysis through forest plots.

To define the search strategy for studies, the PICOC (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outputs, Context) method has been used, it is supported by the research question defines a search string, which has allowed the collection of 228 research, these are filtered with the PRISMA declaration method and the determination of exclusion criteria, in this way 35 researches are selected for the present study.

The analysis of the selected studies identifies a structure for the different semi-supervised learning models, and a scheme of their work process is obtained, it has been used to extract advantages, disadvantages, and performance metrics. Through a meta-analysis with forest diagrams, the classification accuracy performance of the researches in each learning model is evaluated, determining as results that regardless of the characteristics of its process, active learning (0.89) and assembled learning (0.83) present the best performance levels.

Among the numerous species of blood-sucking insects, mosquitoes stand out as most offensive to man and other warm-blooded animals. Mosquitoes were collected by indoor and outdoor CDC light traps in randomly selected household and larvae were collected in and around 3 Kilo meter radius from the study site. A total of 14 species, five genera under family Culicidae were recorded in Tha-ma-nya village. Recorded species included two species under genus Aedes, three species under genus Culex one species under the genus Armigeres, one species under the genus Toxorhynchities and 7 species under genus Anopheles. Species inentification was done according to different morphological keys. Altogether seven out of 14 recorded mosquito species were medically important vector species. Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus were primary and secondary vectors of dengue fever. Culex quinquefasciatus is a microfilariasis vector. The important vectors of Japanese encephalitis are Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Culex gelidus. High density of malaria vector Anopheles dirus was collected in outdoor light trap than An. minimus, although An. minimus was collected high density by indoor CDC light traps. Virus of Japanese encephalitis could transmit from rearing pig and ducks to persons living in the study area. Indoor clear water containers serve as the favorable places for living Aedes spp. Outdoor water storage concrete tanks provided stagnant water to breed Culex and Anopheles species. Water pools, rock pools and rice fields water were found high preferences for breeding of malaria vectors An. dirus and An. minimus larvae and An. dirus larvae was also collected from concrete tanks. Microfilariasis vector Cx. quinquefqsciatus and JE vector Cx. tritaeniorhynchus larvae were collected from polluted water pools and Dengue vector larvae as Aedes larvae were collected from metal drums, bago jars and concrete tanks. Status of the mosquito species composition in the Tha-ma-nya village provided database not only for further researches but also for giving good knowledge and practice in health workers for effective control of vector borne diseases.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE WANDERING EARTH II BASED ON PIERCE SEMIOTICS
Authors: Tang Zezong , Zhang Yi
Published: June 2023

As a highly-anticipated domestic science fiction series, “The Wandering Earth II” has captured widespread attention and ignited online discussion upon its release. The film weaves together multiple narrative threads, crafting a diverse array of characters and seamlessly blending surreal themes with realist storytelling. Consequently, its content and scope align closely with Peirce’s semiotic framework. As a founding figure in semiotics, Peirce incorporates various societal factors beyond symbols into his semiotic system, endowing it with extensive interdisciplinary applicability and research potential. Hence, this analysis of “The Wandering Earth II” employs Peirce’s semiotic framework to unravel the construction of the film’s symbolic system, with the aim of seeking novel textual expressions for film semiotics research while providing fresh semiotic perspectives on the interpretation of the movie.

Authors: Sushma
Published: June 2023

Nowadays major sociological concern relates to minorities, gender disparities and depressed classes. The Dalit issue has emerged as one of the major arena of research. It is in this regard it become significant to study the beginning of efforts for the Dalits emancipation. Arya Samaj appears to be the pioneer of such efforts so chosen for the following Endeavour. Arya Samaj was one of the earliest movement to take into account the question of untouchables, who later come to be known as the Dalits. Founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1875, the movement worked for the emancipation of the Dalits. But genuineness of these efforts come under question because of the circumstances under which the efforts were made. How much the Samaj was concerned with the Upliftment of the Samaj? There are questions that how much the Arya samaj wanted the Dalits to flourish and Why did Arya Samaj take the backstep when the aspirations of the Dalits rose further and they yearned for equality? The Aim of this paper is to trace the views of Swami Dayanand Saraswati on the Caste system. Paper also attempts to analyse critically the efforts of Arya Samaj in emancipation of the Dalits. The paper will examine the impact of the Arya Samaj in United Province of India . At the same time it also aims to study the Dalit response to these efforts and their own exertions for their emancipation

Authors: S.Shanmugapriya  , Ms. P.Devika
Published: June 2023

This study examines how software engineering and machine learning interact in the context of health systems. We proposed the software framework and methodology as a fresh framework for health informatics. Health informatics engineering for machine learning (SEMLHI). The SEMLHI framework consists of four modules (software, machine learning, machine learning algorithms, and health informatics data), which group the tasks in the framework according to the SEMLHI methodology. This enables researchers and developers to examine health informatics software from an engineering standpoint and gives developers a new road map for creating health applications with system functions and software implementations. In order to comprehend both the function of objects linked with the system and the machine learning techniques that must be used on the dataset, users can study and analyze user demands with the help of our new technique, which sheds light on its qualities. Real data from a hospital run by the Palestinian Authority during the last three years make up our dataset for this study. The SEMLHI technique is broken down into seven phases: creating, managing, defining, and implementing procedures; gathering data; ensuring security and privacy; testing and evaluating performance; and delivering software applications.
Quien controla las semillas, controla la vida: una aproximación a los transgénicos en Colombia
Authors: López-Guzmán Jorge Alberto
Published: June 2023

El artículo explica de qué manera desde la visión de Occidente se ha concebido a las semillas como un “objeto” susceptible de modificar dentro de un laboratorio y comercializar dentro del mercado global de la agroindustria, generando un conjunto de reflexiones sobre las “promesas” de erradicar el hambre en el mundo a través de la producción masiva de alimentos. Finalmente, se pone en contexto desde un referente empírico el caso de las semillas transgénicas en Colombia desde el 2002 al 2018. Para la recolección, análisis y sistematización de información se utilizó una metodología con enfoque mixto destacando las condiciones inductivas que brindaron los documentos de fuentes primarias, secundarias y terciarias, así como los resultados estadísticos de la revisión de bases de datos e informes institucionales. Entre los principales resultados se exponen los hitos de las semillas transgénicas en el mundo, así como los datos de los transgénicos en Colombia. En conclusión, se espera que este estudio sea un aporte a la discusión sobre la importancia de la geopolítica de la biodiversidad y la geopolítica de las semillas como categorías analíticas que permiten entender una de las actuales relaciones de poder de orden internacional por el acceso, uso y control de los recursos naturales, así como, sobre los impactos de los transgénicos en la diversidad cultural y biológica de los países latinoamericanos.
Asymptotic Models of Flow in a Pipe with Compliant Walls
Authors: Жуков М.Ю. , Полякова Н.М.
Published: June 2023

Для вращательно симметричного безвихревого течения вязкой несжимаемой жидкости в трубе с податливыми стенками (compliant tube) на основе теории мелкой воды (лагранжев подход) построено нелинейное амплитудное уравнение, описывающее поведение конечных возмущений в окрестности волн, распространяющихся вдоль характеристик. Считается, что течение происходит в бесконечной цилиндрической области, имеющей свободную поверхность, на которой выполнены кинематическое и динамические условия с учетом поверхностного натяжения. Характерный размер цилиндрической области в~осевом направлении считается много б'ольшим, чем характерный размер в радиальном направлении. Обнаружено, что в случае рассматриваемого безвихревого течения (уравнения Навье~--- Стокса), уравнения течения не содержат членов, учитывающих вязкость (совпадают с уравнениями идеальной несжимаемой жидкости - уравнениями Эйлера). Влияние вязкости жидкости учитывается лишь за счет динамического краевого условия на границе. Амплитудное уравнение имеет вид уравнения Кортевега-де Вриза - Бюргерса, решение которого достаточно хорошо изучено аналитическими, асимптотическими и численными методами. Вычислены коэффициенты уравнения и, в~зависимости от их значений, проведен качественный анализ поведения возмущений. Построенное амплитудное уравнение и возникающие в процессе построения, как главный член асимптотики, квазилинейные гиперболические уравнения, а также уравнения для конечных возмущений, можно использовать для описания течения струи жидкости и/или течения крови в аорте. В принципе, и квазилинейные уравнения, и амплитудное уравнение, и уравнения для конечных возмущений, полученные, как правило, при помощи метода осреднения, известны и широко используются, в частности, для моделирования течения крови. Однако, при конструировании известных моделей при помощи метода осреднения используется большое количество эвристических предположений, зачастую слабо обоснованных. Предлагаемый в представленной работе способ построения моделей математически более корректен и не содержит никаких предположений, кроме сформулированного при постановке задачи требования о безвихревом характере течения и порядке малости параметров (вязкости, поверхностного натяжения). Кроме этого, дано сравнение полученных уравнений с уравнениями метода осреднения и вычислен поправочный коэффициент. С~математической точки зрения, построенные модели течений представляют собой уравнения для определения главного и последующего членов асимптотики.

PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DAN TEORI KONSTRUKTIVISME DALAM PENGUATAN KEAGAMAAN
Authors: Kusdani Kusdani
Published: June 2023

Kemajuan teknologi informasi,  transportasi dan tourism  yang  menjadi arus deras  seakan menantang “arus dalam” (nilai agama, adat budaya lokal) yang ditransformasikan pada  pendidikan selama ini. Kebenaran nilai Islam, keimanan yang dianut  seakan menantang pendidikan Islam dan cenderung tergoyahkan.  Nilai agama dianggap budaya tanpa arti,   adat bisa menjadi adopsi  kolot, budaya bisa tercerabut dari akarnya yang semula menjadi identitas bangsa. Maka pendidikan Islam menjadi suatu tantangan tersendiri khususnya bagi umat Islam dalam mengajarkan dan memahami nilai-nilai pendidikan untuk diimplemantasikan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa dan bernegara. Dalam penelitian ini peneliti ingin mengkaji lebih jauh bagaimana konsep pendidikan Islam dalam menghadapi tantangan kehidupan yang selalu berubah seiring perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan perkembangan zaman, tawaran pembahasan yaitu pendidikan Islam dan Teori Konstruktivisma dalam penguatan keagamaan. Temuan penelitian bahwa pendidikan Islam sebagai dasar ilmu pengetahuan Islam yang menggiring kehidupan umat Islam ke arah pemahaman dan implementasi nilai-nilai keislaman dalam kehidupan. Teori konstruktivisme bagian dari upaya pembentukan personality dalam mempola struktur tatanan kehidupan umat Islam sejalan dengan implementasi nilai-nilai Islam dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Dua hal ini merupakan sesuatu yang saling menguatkan dan tidak terpisahkan. Jika pendidikan Islam sekedar pemahaman saja tanpa penguatan personality dalam mengimplemantasikan nilai Islam maka kehidupan umat Islam bebas dari nilai Islam. Namun  harus di seiring sejalankan sehingga kehidupan umat Islam saling menguatkan.

Prebiotics are indigestible dietary supplements. Their function is to increase the growth andactivity of beneficial organisms (probiotics) while inhibiting the growth and activity of potentiallyharmful bacteria. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of inulin in enhancing the growthof Lactobacillus sp. and shows antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans a dental cariescausing microorganism. Growth pattern was observed for Lactobacillus plantarum andLactobacillus casei in MRS broth supplemented with 1% inulin and compared with Streptococcusmutans in Brain Heart Infusion Broth supplemented with 1% inulin. Lactobacillus plantarumshowed maximum growth with 0.89 Log10 then Lactobacillus casei with 0.79 Log10 increase andStreptococcus mutans was observed to have only 0.05 Log10 increase. This shows that there is nosuch effect of inulin on the growth of Streptococcus mutans from 0 hr to 24 hr when comparedwith Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei in MRS blank and MRS supplemented with1% inulin and BHIB blank and BHIB supplemented with 1% inulin. Antimicrobial activity ofinulin was also observed against Streptococcus mutans with (12.94±0.14) mm Mean ± SEMzones of inhibition and no zone was observed against Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacilluscasei.

Published: June 2023

Our aims to scan the harmful effects of high temperature stress on vegetative development on cotton varieties registered in our country. The experiment was established in the GAPUTAEM trial area in 2020, with 4 blocks according to the Augmented design. Six standards (Tamcot Spnhix, SJU86, AGC208, STV468, ST474, Carmen) and 88 cotton varieties registered in the national variety list were used as trial material. In this study, relative cell injury rate (RCI) and leaf high temperature stress index values (LHTSI) were investigated. Our investigation results show cell membrane damage (%RCI) varied between 41.81% and 74.84%. While the average of the standards used in the experiment was 68.15%, the overall average was found to be 62.42%. Leaf high temperature stress index (LHTSI) values varied between 0.48 and 1.85, while the LHTSI average of the standards was 0.98, and the overall LHTSI average of the experiment was found to be 1.02. It was determined that there was a wide variation among the genotypes screened for vegetatively high temperature stress. Using LHTSI and RCI features, it has been concluded that it is an important, effective, easy, and applicable selection criterion for screening genotypes regarding tolerance or sensitivity to high temperature stress vegetatively in cotton plants. Applying these two parameters together is recommended to obtain more accurate results. It was determined that only the Teksa415 cotton variety was vegetatively tolerant. Vegetatively, 31 cotton genotypes were found in the medium tolerant group and 62 cotton genotypes in the sensitive group.

Abstract

This paper offers new evidence on the dynamic behavior of multifactor models. Specifically, we investigate the significance and temporal stability of conditional factor betas in the context of multifactor asset pricing models. Using a Kalman filter approach, we find that conditional factor betas are dynamic and their statistical significance varies over time. Furthermore, the inclusion of more factors improves that statistical significance and time stability of the market factor. Overall, our empirical results support the view that multifactors may not be independent risk factors but help to better identify the market factor.

Erken Dönem Kûfe’de Mescidlerin Fıkıh Tedrisatındaki Yeri ve Önemi
Authors: ÖNDER Abdullah
Published: June 2023

İslâm tarihi boyunca cami ve mescidler müslümanların hem ibadetlerini ifa ettikleri hem de ilmî faaliyetlerini icra ettikleri mekânlardan biri olmuştur. Bu anlamda İslâm kültür tarihinde müslümanlar medreselerin yaygınlaşmasına kadar Kur’an, tefsir, hadis ve fıkıh gibi ilimleri çoğunlukla bu mekânlarda öğrenmişlerdir. Özellikle müslümanların Mekke’den Medine’ye hicretleriyle birlikte burada inşa ettikleri Mescid-i Nebevî tam bir ilim merkezi haline gelmiştir. Bunda Ashâb-ı Suffe denilen kimselerin büyük payı vardır. Çünkü bunlar burayı hem barınak hem de okul olarak kullanmışlardır. Mescid-i Nebevî’nin bu fonksiyonu daha sonra inşa edilmiş Kûfe gibi şehirlerin mescidlerini etkilemiştir. 17/638 yılında Kûfe şehrinin kuruluşuyla birlikte şehrin merkezinde ve mahallelerinde mescidler inşa edilmiştir. Çeşitli vesilelerle buraya gelen sahâbe bilgi birikimlerini buradaki mescidlerde halka aktarmışlardır. Böylece Kûfe’deki mescidler ilk zamanlarında sahâbenin İslâmî ilimlere dair bilgilerini aktardıkları merkezler olmuştur. Zamanla bu mescidlerde çeşitli ilim halkaları kurulmuş, kurulan bu halkalarda âlimler kıraat, tefsir, hadis ve fıkıh birikimlerini sonraki nesillere aktarmışlardır. Özellikle bu mekânlardaki fıkıh halkalarında birçok önemli fakih yetişmiştir. Alkame b. Kays, Mesrûk b. Abdurrahman (el-Ecda‘), Esved b. Yezîd, İbrâhim en-Nehaî, Hammâd b. Ebî Süleyman, Ebû Hanîfe, Süfyân es-Sevrî, Ebû Yûsuf ve İmam Muhammed gibi fakihler bunlardan bazılarıdır. Bu önemli fakihlerin fıkıh birikimlerini çoğunlukla Kûfe’deki mescidlerde edinmiş olmaları ve bunlardan bazılarının ise Hanefî mezhebinin oluşumunda önemli katkılarının olması, söz konusu mekânlardaki fıkıh tedrisatının nicelik ve niteliğini önemli kılmıştır. Neticede birçok fakihin yetişmesinde mekân hizmeti sunması açısından Kûfe’deki mescidlerin önemli rolünün olduğu görülmüş ve bu mekânların bu husustaki fonksiyonu çalışma konusu edilmiştir. Böylece bu çalışma cami ve mescidlerin tarihsel süreçteki fonksiyonunu sınırlı da olsa gün yüzüne çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Mezhep Ashâbına Ait Görüşlerin Temel Bir Argüman Olarak Kullanımı: Hanefîlerin Benimsediği Yönteme Dair Bir İzah Denemesi
Authors: YELEK Kamil
Published: June 2023

Hanefî âlimleri, mezhebin kurucu otoritelerine (mezhep ashâbı) ait görüşler ile nasların çatışması durumunda oluşan uyumsuzluğu gidermek için nesih, tahsis, tercih ve tevil gibi çeşitli yöntemlere başvurmuşlardır. Irak Hanefî meşâyihinden Ebü’l-Hasen el-Kerhî’ye (ö. 340/952) nispet edilen meşhur rivayete göre, mezhep ashâbının görüşlerine aykırı olan nasların neshedildiği veya başka bir delilin bunlara tercih edildiği ihtimali düşünülmekle birlikte aralarının uzlaştırılarak tevil edilmesinin daha uygun olduğu ifade edilir. Ancak Hanefîlerin benimsediği bu yaklaşım, mezhep ashâbına ait görüşlerin naslara öncelendiği şeklinde birtakım eleştiri ve ithamları beraberinde getirmiştir. Zira mezhep görüşü ile nasların uyumsuzluğu durumunda mezhep ashâbının görüşlerinin tercih edilmesi gerektiği söylemi, ilk bakışta sorunlu ve açıklanması gereken bir durum olarak görünmektedir. Zikredilen gerekçe sebebiyle Hanefîlerin genel tavrını ortaya koyan bu ifadelerin teorik olarak izah edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Hanefîlerin söz konusu yaklaşımı benimsemelerindeki gerekçeleri ele alınmış, sonrasında da bunun iddia edildiği gibi “nasların göz ardı edilmesi ya da fakihlerin görüşlerinin öncelikli olduğu” anlamına gelmediği görülmüştür.

Published: June 2023

The paper examined the place of information resources management through the application of ICT for e-governance. Governance is a process of establishing policies or laws and continuously monitoring their implementation in the public. To make governance process cost effective, easy and convenient to the citizens, information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a vital role. . Information resources are print and non-print materials that could be sourced and accessed manually or electronically, while its management has to do with the ability to know when and why information is needed, where to find it, how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner. Using ICTs in governance is referred to as e-governance. Its application therefore helps citizens to participate not only in policy making but also in quality service improvements and getting government services over networks. Challenges such as constraint to infrastructure, human resources, digital divide and social constraint were identified. It was therefore recommended that integrity, transparency and accountability be ensured through the implementation of ICT, network in every public institution, strengthening connectivity among all public institutions, reducing hassle, cost, time, and corruption in public service delivery, among others.
