Authors: Pavlovich O. A. , Vykhristyuk I. A. , Buzko V. Yu. , Pavlovich V. V.
Published: June 2021

Background. The variety of polishing systems and tools available for finishing direct composite restorations may perplex the dentist.

Objectives. An effect evaluation in one- and multi-step composite polishing tools using model specimens of GC Gradia Direct and 3M ESPE Filtek Ultimate restoratives.

Methods. The prepared specimens of GC Gradia Direct and 3M ESPE Filtek Ultimate restorative composites were exposed in laboratory to the Kenda Maximus, Dentsply PoGo, Kagayaki RoundFlex, Shofu Super-Snap, Kagayaki Ensmart Pin, EVE Composoft polishing systems and Daiyamondo Kagayaki paste. The polishing systems distinguished by brand, technical and performance characters.

Surface microgeometry in all 16 samples was estimated in the Laboratory of Optical Metrology, Institute of Design and Technology for Scientific Instrument Engineering, Novosibirsk, using a MNP-1 light interferometric nanoprofile microscope and at the shared core facilities of the Research and Education Centre “Nanomaterial Diagnostics and Properties” of Kuban State University, Krasnodar, using a JEOL JSM-7500F scanning electron microscope.

Results. Optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy were used to estimate surface roughness in 16 specimens exposed to polishing for one minute. The polishing tools Kenda Maximus, Dentsply PoGo, Kagayaki RoundFlex, Shofu Super-Snap, Kagayaki Ensmart Pin, EVE Composoft, as well as Daiyamondo Kagayaki paste used in instrumental polishing, revealed a varied performance. Optical profilometry exhibited the GC Gradia Direct and Filtek Ultimate specimens to possess the lowest average roughness in two cases: 1) after multi-step polishing with Kagayaki Ensmart Pin tools with Daiyamondo Kagayaki paste (average roughness corresponded to Sa — 0.214 pm in GC Gradia Direct and Sa — 0.248 pm — in Filtek Ultimate), 2) in application of the Kenda Maximus monopolishing tool (roughness values of Sa — 0.211 and Sa — 0.242 pm, respectively). Surface roughness after multi-step machining with EVE Composoft silicone polishers was average Sa — 0.579 and Sa — 0.549 pm in both samples and was reported the highest. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the optical profilometry estimates.

Conclusion. The assay showed that the specimen machining with a sole Kenda Maximus diamond abrasive tool and several Kagayaki Ensmart Pin silicone polishing heads followed by a Daiyamondo Kagayaki diamond abrasive paste application produced very similar surface roughness values, which were graded the lowest with GC Gradia Direct and 3M ESPE Filtek Ultimate composite samples using scanning electron microscopy and optical profilometry.
Novel full-flow valves, impact on early mitral post-replacement period: a non-randomised controlled cohort trial
Authors: Perekopskaya V. S. , Morova N. A. , Tsekhanovich V. N.
Published: June 2021

Background.Among cardiovascular diseases, valve pathology of various aetiology comprises a primary factor of chronic heart failure. Mitral valve diseases afflict over half of all patients with acquired heart defects. Today’s long-term outcomes of mitral valve replacement are not quite satisfactory, which urges the invention of novel vales. Such a modern artificial valve is the nationally developed bivalve full-flow MedInzh-ST prothesis.

Objectives.Assessment of advantages of the novel MedInzh-ST full-flow mechanical valve vs. MedInzh-2 model in analyses of short-term postoperative outcomes.

Methods. Over a five-year period, 116 patients underwent indicated mitral replacement with MedInzh valves. The full-flow MedInzh-ST was implanted in 55 patients, and MedInzh-2 — in 61. All patients had transthoracic echocardiography for structural and functional heart and implant control prior to surgery and discharge from hospital. Clinical and echocardiographic analyses were performed in the early postoperative period.

Results.The choice of valve model had no effect on the rates of postoperative complications and hospital mortality. All lethal cases were not associated with the valve malfunction. All patients with predominant mitral stenosis revealed the reliably lower peak and mean transmitral pressure gradient and pulmonary artery systolic pressure, irrespective of the valve model. The novel full-flow valve implantation significantly more often associated with a reduced right ventricle size. All patients with predominant insufficiency were observed to reduce mitral regurgitation and the left ventricular size upon defect correction. Patients with full-flow protheses significantly more often had a reduced end-systolic dimension.

Conclusion.The MedInzh-ST full-flow mechanical valve satisfies the modern requirements for efficacy and safety. Mitral stenosis correction with full-flow valves is shown to exert a greater effect on reverse right ventricular remodelling compared to the classical model.
Smoking of Parents as a Factor of Visual Impairment in Schoolchildren in Baku
Authors:   Azerbaijan Medical University, Baku, Babaev P.N.
Published: June 2021

Purpose. To study the number of medical appeals and the incidence of school-age children in Baku, exposed to passive smoking in their families. Material and methods. Schoolchildren were given 5000 questionnaires; the response was 2363 questionnaires (39.4±0.6%). The collected questionnaires of schoolchildren contained the answers of a total of 3895 parents, of which 1885 were fathers and 2010 were mothers. All schoolchildren were divided into 2 groups: 818 schoolchildren whose parents were tobacco-dependent and 1545 schoolchildren whose parents were tobacco-dependent. Depending on the degree of tobacco dependence of parents, 818 schoolchildren were divided into groups: group 1 – non-systematic smoking of parents (about 5 cigarettes a day), tobacco dependence is weak, there are no visible effects on health – 204 schoolchildren; 2nd group – habitual smoking of parents (5–15 cigarettes per day), moderate tobacco dependence, a number of negative effects on health are manifested – 252 schoolchildren; Group 3 – parents' addiction (more than 15 cigarettes a day), severe tobacco dependence, pronounced dysfunctions of various organs are manifested – 362 schoolchildren. We analyzed the outpatient medical records of children in the district children's polyclinics and determined their medical appealss and the degree of morbidity. Results. It was found that despite the widespread anti-tobacco campaign, in 34.6±1.0% of families in Baku, schoolchildren continue to be exposed to the effects of secondhand smoke, which has a detrimental effect on their eye health. The medical appeals of schoolchildren to children's polyclinics increase by 1.95 times and the level of their morbidity increases by 1.35 times, and in families whose parents smoke more than 15.0 cigarettes/ day it reaches 79.8±2.5%. Conclusion. A wide accessible educational campaign among parents is needed, the main argument of which should be the harmful effects of secondhand smoke on the health of the eyes of children. Key words: passive smoking, schoolchildren, health, eye care, vision protection.

Purpose. To evaluate the spectrum and the occurrence frequency of lesions simulating retinoblastoma in different age groups. Material and methods. A retrospective study of 608 patients (871 eyes) with suspected retinoblastoma was performed in the Ocular Oncology and Radiology Department of the Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution in the period from 2007 to 2020. The mean patient age at presentation was 21 months (from 1 to 209 months). In 475 patients (78.1%) (715 eyes), the diagnosis of retinoblastoma was confirmed after a comprehensive assessment of the eye. 133 patients (156 eyes) (21.9%) had symptoms mimicking retinoblastoma-pseudoretinoblastomas. All patients with pseudoretinoblastomas were divided into different groups based on the simulating condition and age: from 0 to 1 year, from 1 to 2 years, from 2 to 5 years, older than 5 years. Results. There were 25 conditions simulating retinoblastoma. The most common conditions were Coats' disease (n=17; 12.8%), combined hamartoma of retina and retinal pigment epithelium (n=12. 9%), retinal detachment (n=11; 8.3%), vitreous opacities caused by intrauterine uveitis (n=11; 8.3%), choroidal hemangioma (n=11; 8.3%), vasoproliferative tumor (n=10; 7.5%), retinopathy of prematurity (n=7; 5.3%), morning glory syndrome (n=7; 5.3%). Most patients had unilateral lesions (n=116; 87.2%). Pseudoretinoblastomas differed based on age at presentation, because children 1 year of age or younger were most likely to have vitreous opacities caused by intrauterine uveitis (n=9; 21.4%) and retinopathy of prematurity (n=7; 16.7%); children aged from 1 to 2 years – Coats' disease (n=4; 20%) and choroidal hemangioma (n=3; 15%), from 2 to 5 years – Coats' disease (n=8; 21.6%), older than 5 years – Coats' disease (n=5; 14.7%) and vasoproliferative tumors (n=7; 20.6%). Conclusion. Timely referral of children with suspected retinoblastoma in specialized ocular oncology centers helps to avoid unnecessary treatment for retinoblastoma, enucleation and improve the vital prognosis.

Bu çalışmada, tarımsal üretimin iki temel girdisi olan gübre ve yemde, 2016 yılında uygulanmaya başlanmış olan KDV istisnası uygulamasının, bu girdi fiyatlarının, 2015=100 bazlı endekse göre değişiminin belirlenmesi ve Aydın ilindeki üreticiler açısından değerlendirilmesini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Öncelikle, Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK) tarafından hazırlanıp, belirli dönemlerde kullanıma sunulan 2015=100 bazlı tarımsal girdi fiyat endeksi hesaplanmasında kullanılan gübre ve yem girdi kalemleri incelenmiştir. Projede kullanılan diğer veriler, anket çalışmasından elde edilmiştir. Aydın’ın tarımsal üretim potansiyeli oldukça yüksek olan Germencik, İncirliova ve Koçarlı ilçelerindeki üreticiler, araştırma popülasyonunu (evrenini) oluşturmuştur. Örneklemin belirlenmesinde rassal olmayan örnekleme yöntemlerinden, amaçlı (kasti) örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Buna yönelik olarak, yukarıda belirtilmiş olan ilçelerde, 50 adet üretici ile anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Gübre ve hayvan yemi fiyatlar genel düzeyinde, 2020 yılında, 2015 yılı baz dönemine göre %60-70’lere varan düzeyde önemli artışların olduğu belirlenmiştir. 2018 yılı ortasından itibaren, gübre fiyatları genel düzeyinde önemli artışların olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hayvan yemi fiyat seviyelerinde ise 2016 yılından itibaren, belirli düzeyde artışların olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sebeple, KDV istisnasının hayvan yemi fiyat düzeylerinde önemli etkisinin olmadığı düşünülmektedir. Üreticilerin özellikle gübre, ilaç, motorin ve elektrikte uygulanmakta olan vergi, özellikle KDV oranları hakkında yeterince bilgi düzeyine sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir.
Acute Calcific Tendinitis of the Forefoot in Young Women- A Presentation of Two Cases
Authors:   Department of Emergency Medicine, St. Vincent’s University Hospital, Ireland, E Hession , J Ryan ,   Department of Emergency Medicine, St. Vincent’s University Hospital, Ireland
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Calcific tendinitis is an uncommon presentation in the forefoot with relatively few cases reported in the medical literature. It is commonly overlooked and should form part of a differential diagnosis when assessing patients presenting with acute pain of the forefoot localised to a single joint or tendon. We present two cases of young women involved in amateur running and martial arts respectively who presented with acute pain of their forefoot. Case Description: These 2 cases describe a 44 year old amateur female runner and 23 year old female martial arts athlete who presented with acute onset of pain affecting the dorsal aspect of their great toe interphalangeal joint and base of 1st metatarsal respectively. Both patients had tender erythematous swellings at the site of pain and difficulty weightbearing. Plain radiography revealed areas of calcification at the respective sites which was confirmed with ultrasound. Both patients underwent US guided corticosteroid injections with significant symptom improvement within 48 hours of injections and rapid return to sport. Discussion: These two cases demonstrate an atypical presentation of acute calcific tendinitis affecting the forefoot and add two more cases to the reported literature. Combining the characteristic clinical presentation of acute pain affecting a tendon or joint with a tender erythematous swelling on examination with the typical radiographic features of calcification can promptly diagnose this often misdiagnosed condition and avoid unnecessary investigations. Conservative treatment and intralesional injection with corticosteroids can lead to rapid resolution and favourable patient outcomes.

Introduction: Muscular Temporomandibular disorders or masticatory disorders are characterized by orofacial pain and functional limitations associated with oral dysfunctions, emotional changes and/or genetic factors. Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that constitute the extracellular matrix and play an important role in the skeletal muscle adaptation. Objectives: To evaluate the association between polymorphisms in the Matrix Metaloprotease-2 (MMP2) gene and the presence of muscular disorders. Methods: RDC/TMD questionnaire was applied for clinical diagnosis of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) in the study sample and three diagnosis groups were formed: control group (n=154), muscular TMD (n=122) and joint TMD (n=49). Genomic DNA was obtained from saliva samples and six single nucleotide polymorphisms in the MMP2 gene were selected. Results: A tendency of association between the presence of the CT genotype (rs243865) and the absence of muscular TMD was observed when compared to the control group (p=0.05). There was a significant prevalence of the polymorphic CT+TT (rs243865) genotypes in the control group (p=0.04) compared to the muscular TMD group (p=0.05). Confirming these results, TCCACC MMP2 haplotype showed higher association (p=0.01) with protection against muscular TMD. Conclusion: Polymorphism in the MMP2 gene (rs243865) is related to protection against muscular TMD.
Disordered Verse vs. Early Romanian Vers Libre
Authors: Paladian Kristiniia
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the Romanian vers libre genesis and its identification among disordered verse forms in the Romanian poetry of the beginning of the 20th century. Our investigations are based on the innovative methods of verse analysis suggested by the Russian poetic science which are based on the quantitative analysis. By means of statistical analysis of the disordered oeuvres – verses without rhyme, meter and formal stanza – we found out that not all oeuvres with such features may be referred to as vers libre. Among such forms there are the oeuvres which do have some systematic characteristics coinciding with classical, tonic or heteromorphic forms.
The Strangeness from One’s Own Back Yard, Rendered by Translation. “Print and publish in Romania – Why not.”
Authors: CHIOREAN Anca
Published: June 2021

Starting from a recently published memoir, authored by the British pilot Betrand Whitley, recounting his experiences during World War II, the present paper aims to emphasise the role played by the linguistic transfer of such texts from multiple perspectives. As such, in the case of texts originally written in one language, covering the subject of a different cultural space, the translation that pulls the text back into the language of the depicted space raises several issues. Fidelity is given by the negotiation between the meaning present in both linguistic instances, filtered by the style that encompasses an authorial stance on a foreignness that, through translation, needs to be reflected back into the familiar, as foreign.
Flight safety event management method as illustrated by a guided reactivity model
Authors: Bachkalo B. I. , Baynetov S. D. , Bolbat S. G.
Published: June 2021

The article provides a brief analysis of the problems of the existing flight safety management system in the state aviation of the Russian Federation, based on the lack of stable positive dynamics of accidents reduction. Brief conclusions from the analysis of the currently proposed scientific approaches for accidents reduction are given. The most significant practical results in the field of building a safety management system for a particular flight are considered. A new approach to the implementation of on-board flight safety management systems based on event management is proposed. The method of event-based safety management of a particular flight allows us to exclude the real time manifestation of known dangerous factors. To implement it, all processes related to known hazards are described in the form of events and assembled into complete groups of events. Control of the occurrence of the complete groups of events, their analysis and event management are carried out by event management models developed for each dangerous factor. When a certain number of events in one or several complete groups of events is reached, the aviation system protection algorithm, by preventing the occurrence of the remaining one or several events of the complete group, prevents erroneous actions of the crew, which prevents the occurrence of aviation incidents and accidents. As an example of the method implementation, the principle of forming an automated guided reactivity model of the event control contour for the dangerous factor "Violation of the Established Minimum Safe Parameters of the Aircraft Flight" in relation to an arbitrary maneuverable aircraft is considered in the article. The system, having registered the events that determine the group flight, is included into the analysis of dynamic elementary events determining the position of the wingman relating to the leading aircraft inside the event control contour in terms of range, angle of sight and altitude separation. When the parameters of one of the dynamic events approach the boundary of the event control contour, the system uses a recommendation or control action to set limits to the parameters not to go beyond the contour, which prevents the occurrence of erroneous actions of the crew.

Reports indicate that accumulated macrophages in the pancreas are responsible for promoting the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Recently, macrophage-secreted cytokines have been implicated in promoting pancreatic acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM). This study aims to establish the role of accumulated macrophage-activated NLRP3-IL-18-eosinophil mechanistic pathway in promoting several characteristics of pancreatic malignancy in CP. We report that in a murine model of pancreatic cancer (PC), accumulated macrophages are the source of NLRP3-regulated IL-18, which promotes eosinophilic inflammation-mediated accumulation to periductal mucin and collagen, including the formation of ADM, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanINs), and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Most importantly, we show improved malignant characteristics with reduced levels of oncogenes in an anti–IL-18 neutralized and IL-18 gene deficient murine model of CP. Last, human biopsies validated that NLRP3-IL-18–induced eosinophils accumulate near the ducts, showing PanINs formation in PC. Taken together, we present the evidence on the role of IL-18–induced eosinophilia in the development of PC phenotype like ADM, PanINs, and ductal cell differentiation in inflammation-induced CP.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness among the elderly and can be classified either as dry or as neovascular (or wet). Neovascular AMD is characterized by a strong immune response and the inadequate release of cytokines triggering angiogenesis and induction of photoreceptor death. The pathomechanisms of AMD are only partly understood. Here, we identify the endolysosomal two-pore cation channel TPC2 as a key factor of neovascularization and immune activation in the laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) mouse model of AMD. Block of TPC2 reduced retinal VEGFA and IL-1β levels and diminished neovascularization and immune activation. Mechanistically, TPC2 mediates cationic currents in endolysosomal organelles of immune cells and lack of TPC2 leads to reduced IL-1β levels in areas of choroidal neovascularization due to endolysosomal trapping. Taken together, our study identifies TPC2 as a promising novel therapeutic target for the treatment of AMD.

Objective. Determine and characterize potential risk areas for the occurrence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Latin America (LA).

Method. Ecological observational study with observation units defined by municipalities with CL transmission between 2014-2018. Environmental and socioeconomic variables available for at least 85% of the municipalities were used, combined in a single database, utilizing the R software. The principal component analysis methodology was combined with a hierarchical cluster analysis to group clusters of municipalities based on their similarity. The V-test was estimated to define the positive or negative association of the variables with the clusters and separation by natural breaks was used to determine which ones contributed the most to each cluster. Information on cases was also incorporated in the analyses to attribute CL risk for each cluster.

Results. This study included 4,951 municipalities with CL transmission (36.5% of the total in LA) and seven clusters were defined by their association with 18 environmental and socioeconomic variables. The historical risk of CL is positively associated with the Amazonian, Andean and Savannah clusters in a decreasingly manner; and negatively associated with the Forest evergreen, Forest/crop and Forest/populated clusters. The Agricultural cluster did not reveal any association with the CL cases.

Conclusions. The study made it possible to identify and characterize the CL risk by clusters of municipalities and to recognize the epidemiological distribution pattern of transmission, which provides managers with better information for intersectoral interventions to control CL.

Kia Whakatōmuri Haere Whakamua: Implementing Tikanga Māori as the Jurisdictional Framework for Overlapping Claims Disputes
Authors: Morar Rhianna
Published: June 2021

This article addresses the misconception that overlapping rights to land are always in tension with one another. In this article, I apply a tikanga-based analysis to the policy on overlapping rights that is used in the settlement of historical Treaty of Waitangi claims. I argue that the supremacy of colonial law within the State legal system continues to suppress indigenous relationality and limit the mechanisms for reciprocity. This article problematises the following claims made about overlapping claims disputes. First, that overlapping rights are too complex for judicial resolution. This article examines the ways in which overlapping rights are capable of co-existing to preserve relationships between different iwi and hapū. Second, that tikanga is a contestable system of law and should not be regarded as a question of law or as a jurisdictional framework for resolving such disputes. This article critically analyses the extent to which these claims are based on the supremacy of colonial law within the State legal system by considering the application of tikanga in the courts and alternative dispute resolution processes. I argue that tikanga Māori is the only applicable framework whereby differences can be mediated in a way that preserves the relationships between the parties and provides redress mechanisms for continuing reciprocity. This article concludes that the State legal system at present continues to delegitimise indigenous relationality in ways that amalgamate rights into a colonial recognition framework, which fails to recognise tikanga Māori as an equal system of law in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Artwork as Practical Social Action: An Ethnomethodological Study and the New Sociology of Art.
Authors:   , Baddeley Maximilon
Published: June 2021

Few studies in the sociology of art observe artists in their work. Of the few, little investigate the phenomenon of social order, and when they do, they research artists at a distance. Hence, there is room to contribute studies and descriptions of the observable actions artists conduct when they find themselves in the midst of doing their work; that work is argued here as a sociological accomplishment, topic of interest, and evidence of the actual and not imagined practical management of social reality. An emergent literature, the new Sociology of Art, has started to pay close attention toward observing artists’ situated and sequential actions as they occur naturally and in real time. Yet neglected in these often overly conceptual studies are detailed descriptions of artists finding ad hoc solutions to their practical workplace problems. In my motivation to observe artists in their work, I ask how artworks are organised in and as practical social action. With video camera in hand and in aid by the sociological attitudes of ethnomethodology and its research praxis, I aim to explicate social phenomena of order, specifically observable within sites consisting of a street corner, an artist’s studio, an urban café, and river terrain. This thesis presents data first collected and then taken from the large video data corpus to form four single-cases. I recognise in this thesis the effort evident within ethnomethodology’s recent scholarship to acknowledge Aron Gurwitsch’s gestalt concept functional significance as partially influencing Harold Garfinkel’s study of endogenous order. I saw functional significance as an opportunity to explore, rather experimentally, how one artistic action relates to another, and how that interdependence was locally managed by the artists themselves during their artistic processes. This thesis contributes written descriptions of artistic action as social action, findings from which the new Sociology of Art may benefit.

Про важливість дослідження репутації закладів вищої освіти
Authors: Bratus Yaroslava , Sydorov Mykola
Published: June 2021

Одним з наслідків конкуренції на ринку освітніх послуг є поява рейтингів ЗВО. На перших порах вони використовувались для обґрунтування розподілу ресурсів між навчальними закладами. У світі зараз налічується більше 10 підходів до ранжування ЗВО світу та окремих країн, таких, як QS World University Rating, Round University Rating, Times Higher Education World Rank, U-Multirank та інші. Але навіть вже така кількість різних рейтингів говорить про те, що, вони використовують різні показники та по-різному вимірюють рейтинг, який є досить суб’єктивним і не дозволяє порівнювати показники з різних рейтингів. Більш об’єктивним показником для порівняння ЗВО може виступати його репутація. Саме на репутацію навчального закладу вступники звертають більшу увагу, ніж на рейтинги. У свою чергу репутація є більш стійким показником, на відміну від рейтингів, і передбачає наявність системи показників, які є зрозумілими та корисними для зацікавлених сторін – як вступників, так і працедавців.

Authors: Yuzva Liudmyla , Tashchenko Anna
Published: June 2021

Ukraine finds itself in the countries of the Global North, which means that it adopts the formulation of its typical research questions like the current migration research landscape. Existing research are heavily skewed towards the Global North, where governments and international organizations increasingly fund them to inform policy development. Thus, migration provides the relevance of the study of discourses around the body of concepts on it. The article describes the subtexts of media characterising the perception of migration by migrants themselves and the perception of migrants by host side. With using the Mediateka tool, an automated sample of 39,000 reports on various groups of migrants was received in the TOP-15 of the Ukrainian media (print media, TV channels, informational online media) from 2015 to 2018. The sample consisted of 12,000 messages, every tenth of which was selected for further in-depth analysis. The research was based on qualitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis. The six steps were done: looking at the description of the migration as objective necessity, subjective aspiration and something meaningless, and looking at the description of migrants as decent people, indecent people and just people with some lifestyle. The latent meanings of the messages, where the leading Ukrainian media touched on the perception of migration and migrants, were divergent and contradictory; they could not become the basis for confidence in any permanent characteristics of the images of migrants. As one of the most interesting prospects for further research, it may be the test of whether those transmitted meanings, which are usually considered positive, can interfere with social integration, and vice versa – whether negative meanings can help it. This can be done on the basis of additional empirical research using quantitative methods, such as cluster analysis to check which groups media consumers might be divided into after receiving the information about migrants.

Published: June 2021

Nadir toprak elementleri (NTE), sahip olduğu özellikler sayesinde yüksek teknoloji gerektiren ürünlerde ve savunma sanayiinde kullanılmakta olup, stratejik öneme sahip olmaları ile son zamanlarda gündemdedirler. Üretim ve rezerv konusunda tekel konumda olan Çin’in ihracata getirdiği sınırlamalar ile birlikte yüksek teknoloji üreten ülkeler kaynak arayışına başlamıştır. Ticari olarak birincil NTE mineralleri bastnazit, monazit ve ksenotimdir. Bu minerallere sahip olmayan ülkeler ikincil NTE minerallerinden [Eudialyte (Ödalit), loparit, piroklor, anklisit, aegirine (egrin)] üretimleri araştırmaya ve işlemeye başlamışlardır.
Bu çalışma kapsamında NTE mineralleri, dünyadaki rezerv ve üretim durumu, kullanım alanları gibi genel bilgilere değinildikten sonra, birincil ve ikincil mineral kaynaklarından konsantre elde edilmesinde uygulanan yöntemler, yapılan çalışmalar ve proses akım şemaları ile ilgili bilgiler derlenmiştir.
Enterprise Resource Planning Systems and Knowledge Management: A Review of the Literature and Conceptual Framework
Authors: Ghafoor Mahwash , Nawab Samina , Shafi Khuram
Published: June 2021

This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature published in various articles dated back to 1998 on the role of Knowledge Management (KM) in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This article follows the literature published in this context focusing on two basic themes: KM supporting the ERP systems and KM integration into the ERP system. All the articles published on the relationship between KM and ERP systems published since 1998 were searched. Articles were sorted out on the basic themes they addressed. Most of the work on the role of KM in ERP systems was grouped into two main categories depending on the research subject matter. Integration of ERP systems being one of these basic themes was further investigated, enlisting all possible research articles published so far. Literature review on the KM and ERP relationship can be concludes that despite different relationships explored in the literature, KM has a vital role to play in the success of the ERP system. It is one of the critical success factors which complements the ERP systems to the extent that its absence will diminish the very essence, that is the adaption of ERP systems for the companies signified by the competitive advantage, market agility, and organization efficiency.

Humor katastrofe i internetski memi u vrijeme pandemije koronavirusa na primjeru dvaju instagramskih profila
Authors: Predojević Željko
Published: June 2021

U radu se analizira humorni diskurs internetskih mema što su nastali kao reakcija na pandemiju koronavirusa. Memi se proučavaju u sklopu digitalnoga folklora kao virtualni surogati vica katastrofe s čijim žanrom imaju mnogo sličnosti. Pojavili su se odmah nakon što se pojavio i virus, tematiziraju pandemiju i novonastale životne situacije uvjetovane njome te na njih velik utjecaj imaju i medijska izvještavanja o virusu i njegovu širenju. Cilj je rada analizirati humorni diskurs internetskih mema koji je podijeljen u četiri tematsko-motivske skupine motivirane načinom pristupa temi virusa i pandemije, a zatim i pokušati uočiti kako se u njima postiže humorni učinak u usporedbi s vicem katastrofe. Istraživanje je usmjereno na internetske meme objavljene na dva instagramska profila: eroGAG i Gospodar Pršljenova. Memi su objavljeni u vrijeme početka pandemije u Europi, tj. u ožujku i travnju 2020. godine.
Lektirom do empatije
Authors: Lukaš Mirko , Begović Ines
Published: June 2021

Uživljavanju se tijekom čovjekova života prilazi iz pozicije odgojnog ideala, a promatra se kao sposobnost razumijevanja emocija drugih ljudi i mogućnost stavljanja sebe u njihove osjećaje. Obrazovni programi kojima je središnji cilj promicanje razvoja humanog ponašanja i uživljavanja sve više dobivaju na značaju u odgojno-obrazovnom procesu. Razlozi interesa za usvajanje vještine uživljavanja dolaze od razmišljanja da je ono temelj za pozitivan razvoj i mentalno zdravlje djece. Ranija istraživanja ukazuju na to da književnost može utjecati na uživljavanje djeteta ako se osoba emotivno unese u priču, ako čita o pojedincu koji je iste dobi i razmišlja što bi i sama učinila da se nađe u istoj situaciji. Rad ukazuje na mogućnosti slobodnog odabira naslova školske lektire uz vodstvo učitelja s ciljem obogaćivanja i razvitka uživljavanja čitanjem i promišljanjem o sadržajima djela. U istraživačkom dijelu analiziraju se sadržaji odabranih književnih djela za učenike četvrtih i petih razreda osnovne škole, a koji se ne nalaze na popisu obvezne školske lektire. Nasumce odabrani uzorak djela obuhvaća preporuke za slobodan izbor lektire u četvrtom i petom razredu osnovne škole. Preporučena su djela: George ‒ Alex Gino, Vječni Tuckovi ‒Natalie Babbitt, Raymie Nightingale: Tri hrabrice ‒ Kate DiCamillo, Čudo i Auggie i ja: Tri čudesne priče ‒ R. J. Palacio te Most u Terabithiju ‒ Katherine Paterson. Analizom sadržaja odabranih djela prepoznaju se teme, odnosi, pozitivna i negativna ponašanja čiji opisi imaju zadaću poticati uživljavanje učenika. Uživljavanja pružaju slikovite opise za oblikovanje identiteta, prijateljske odnose, prihvaćanje sebe i drugih, neprihvaćanje vršnjačkog nasilja, sućut i podršku pri gubitku drage osobe.
Newman and Strossmayer on the Relationship Between the Church and the State (II)
Authors: Šokčević Šimo , Živić Tihomir
Published: June 2021

The cooperation between the Catholic Church and the State is a necessity and an
imperative that was addressed by two important thinkers of the 19th century, John
Henry Newman and Josip Juraj Strossmayer, and the models that actually trace back
to their reflections are existent even nowadays.
In the second part of a textological and theological analysis of Newman’s and
Strossmayer’s understanding of the relationship between the Church and the State,
our objective is to explore how much Newman’s and Strossmayer’s deliberations
may be useful in the formulation of the bases on which a good relationship between
the Catholic Church and the State should be built. We have seen that comprehension and concord are the fundamental imperatives of that relationship, as well as of
the contemporary models that analyze it. The modern obstacles to this relationship
have the identical roots, findable in negative liberalism and repaganization.
On the trail of Newman and Strossmayer, we conclude that an anthropological reform primarily taking hold of the human heart is necessary today. Therefore, such
a reform has to realize that the life in accordance with one’s own conscience, in the
truth, is more valuable than all the utopian lies and deceptions that formulate the
socioeconomic relations and personal life.
Seeking Solid Subjectivity Versus Spotting Trans-Subjectivation in Winterson’s GUT Symmetries
Authors: Niknezhad-Ferdos Hoda , Sadjadi Bakhtiar
Published: June 2021

The present paper intends to closely explore the process of identity formation in the characters of Jeanette Winterson’s novel Gut Symmetries in light of Catherine Malabou’s notions of plasticity, destructive plasticity or trauma, and trans-subjectivation. Identity as an inconsistent procedure of becoming would be intensely explicated in Gut Symmetries through the viewpoint of the characters, in particular Alice. Identity as a mere space or crack, which constantly provides the opportunity for the subject to observe himself/herself, could be introduced as Catherine Malabou’s notion of plasticity of the subjectivity or trans-subjectivation in the novel. The juxtaposition of the pliability of quantum physics and trans-subjectivity in the novel would be highlighted to emphasize that presence, time, identity, and even being could be nothing other than plasticity or ever-fluctuating matter and non-matter. Plasticity as the absolute nucleus of existence, identity, and love would be manifested as perceptible in the form of trans-subjectivity. Sadism as a form of destructive plasticity would be spotlighted as the death drive in the novel and it corroborates the plasticity of love, which could betransformed into hate. Spotlighting femininity as essenceless, Alice and Stella would be represented as the instances of femininity that is mutable and erratic.
N. A. BERDYAEV'S UNDERSTANDING OF SPIRIT
Authors: ERTÜRK Nesrin
Published: June 2021

Berdyaev, gerçeklik anlayışı açısından, düalist bir filozoftur. Bir yanda doğanın, maddenin, zorunluluğun krallığını, diğer yanda ise tinin, özgürlüğün, eylemin krallığını kabul eder. Bu iki dünya, iki krallık birbirine karşıttır.
Gidimli düşünce ve rasyonel kavramlarla ulaşılamayan tinsel hakikatler, özgürlük, Tanrı-insan ilişkisi sadece tinsel deneyimle açık hale gelir. Bu deneyim, rasyonel kavramlarla ya da mantığın diliyle değil, sembol ve mit aracılığıyla
ifade edilir. Bu çalışmada Berdyaev’in tin ve onunla bağlantılı olarak tinsel deneyim anlayışına yer verilmiştir.
