Definitions and Characteristics of Patient Digital Twins Being Developed for Clinical Use: Scoping Review
Authors: Drummond David , Gonsard Apolline
Published: September 2024

Background

The concept of digital twins, widely adopted in industry, is entering health care. However, there is a lack of consensus on what constitutes the digital twin of a patient.

Objective

The objective of this scoping review was to analyze definitions and characteristics of patient digital twins being developed for clinical use, as reported in the scientific literature.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, IEEE, and Google Scholar for studies claiming digital twin development or evaluation until August 2023. Data on definitions, characteristics, and development phase were extracted. Unsupervised classification of claimed digital twins was performed.

Results

We identified 86 papers representing 80 unique claimed digital twins, with 98% (78/80) in preclinical phases. Among the 55 papers defining “digital twin,” 76% (42/55) described a digital replica, 42% (23/55) mentioned real-time updates, 24% (13/55) emphasized patient specificity, and 15% (8/55) included 2-way communication. Among claimed digital twins, 60% (48/80) represented specific organs (primarily heart: 15/48, 31%; bones or joints: 10/48, 21%; lung: 6/48, 12%; and arteries: 5/48, 10%); 14% (11/80) embodied biological systems such as the immune system; and 26% (21/80) corresponded to other products (prediction models, etc). The patient data used to develop and run the claimed digital twins encompassed medical imaging examinations (35/80, 44% of publications), clinical notes (15/80, 19% of publications), laboratory test results (13/80, 16% of publications), wearable device data (12/80, 15% of publications), and other modalities (32/80, 40% of publications). Regarding data flow between patients and their virtual counterparts, 16% (13/80) claimed that digital twins involved no flow from patient to digital twin, 73% (58/80) used 1-way flow from patient to digital twin, and 11% (9/80) enabled 2-way data flow between patient and digital twin. Based on these characteristics, unsupervised classification revealed 3 clusters: simulation patient digital twins in 54% (43/80) of publications, monitoring patient digital twins in 28% (22/80) of publications, and research-oriented models unlinked to specific patients in 19% (15/80) of publications. Simulation patient digital twins used computational modeling for personalized predictions and therapy evaluations, mostly for one-time assessments, and monitoring digital twins harnessed aggregated patient data for continuous risk or outcome forecasting and care optimization.

Conclusions

We propose defining a patient digital twin as “a viewable digital replica of a patient, organ, or biological system that contains multidimensional, patient-specific information and informs decisions” and to distinguish simulation and monitoring digital twins. These proposed definitions and subtypes offer a framework to guide research into realizing the potential of these personalized, integrative technologies to advance clinical care.

Published: September 2024

Background

Sex differences in blood pressure (BP) levels and hypertension are important and the role of socioeconomic status (SES) in sex differences in hypertension remains unclear.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of SES on sex differences of hypertension in a nationally representative survey study.

Methods

A total of 98,658 participants aged ≥18 years who have lived in their current residence for ≥6 months were recruited from 162 study sites across mainland China. Sex was self-reported. Individual-level SES included the highest level of education and annual household income. Area-level SES included economic development status, urban/rural residency, and north/south location. Outcomes included levels of systolic and diastolic BP, and hypertension. Linear and Cox regression models were used to examine the associations between sex (women vs men) and BP characteristics stratified by individual or combined SES indicators.

Results

Systolic and diastolic BP levels and the prevalence of hypertension were higher in men than in women. This sex difference was found across categories of SES with widened sex disparities in participants having more favorable SES. Significant multiplicative interaction effects of SES on the association of sex with BP characteristics were found. Women with improving SES were associated with lower BP and hypertension prevalence compared to men. For combined SES, a 9% (prevalence ratio 0.91, 95% CI 0.83-0.98) and a 30% lower probability (prevalence ratio 0.70, 95% CI 0.63-0.78) of having hypertension were found in women with an overall intermediate SES and high SES, respectively, compared to those with low SES, while no significant reduction was found in men.

Conclusions

There are significant sex differences in BP characteristics and SES has a potent impact on the disparities. Sex-specific public health policies to alleviate socioeconomic inequalities, especially in women are important for the prevention of hypertension.
“Not born into technology”: an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Older Adults Learning to Use Digital Technology (Preprint)
Authors: Aslan Ayse , Mold Freda , Armes Jo , van Marwijk Harm
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

The use of digital technology has significantly increased since the Covid-19 pandemic. Many organisations have followed this trend and moved from face-to-face communication to online. Despite the increase in digital skills and online usage over the years amongst the general population, there are still specific groups of individuals who are more susceptible to experiencing digital inequalities, such as older adults.

OBJECTIVE

The study aimed to observe older adults' digital literacy development over time, as they engaged in a training programme provided by a community interest group. Additionally, the research aimed to understand the process by which older adult increase their digital skills, why they seek formal technology support services and what they use their digital devices for.

METHODS

Longitudinal participant observation and two semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 11 older adults (65 years and older).

RESULTS

Four overarching themes were identified during the analysis of the field notes and interview data: (1) the older adult as an individual (2) past experiences of using technology, (3) involvement of their Tech Angel and (4) overall experience. Older adults preferred learning to use their digital devices through a one-to-one approach due to its person-centred and tailored approach. They reported that the reason for seeking formal support was due to their family not providing comprehensive support initially, living far from family, or feeling guilty when asking for support.

CONCLUSIONS

Older adults preferred learning to use their digital devices through a one-to-one approach due to its person-centred and tailored approach. They reported that the reason for seeking formal support was due to their family not providing comprehensive support initially, living far from family and/or feelings of guilt when asking for support. All participants used their digital devices to communicate with friends and family, most used e-health services and some used them for entertainment purposes and online shopping. Having access to in-person, one-to-one support was favoured by all participants, and all reported having positive experiences with their Tech Angel, suggesting similar services need to be available to increase older adults digital skills.

BACKGROUND

Metastasis is the main reason for poor prognosis and high mortality of lung cancer. Surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy are the first choice for patients with negative driver genes in stage I to IIIA lung cancer. However, the recurrence rate after surgery did not significantly decrease. In China, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used to treat cancer. TCM has the potential to be used as an adjuvant therapy for lung cancer to reduce treatment related toxicity and improve the clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE

In view of the positive results of the basic study of Fuzheng Quxie Formula against lung cancer metastasis, we plan to evaluate the efficacy of Fuzheng Quxie Formula against postoperative metastasis of lung cancer in stage IIA-IIIA that is negative for driver gene expression.

METHODS

A multi-centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled parallel group controlled trial will be conducted. Eligible patients will be randomised into a treatment group (daily Fuzheng Quxie Formula granules + regular chemotherapy) and a control group (daily Chinese medicine placebo granules + regular chemotherapy) in a ratio of 1:1. Fuzheng Quxie Formula was administered orally, twice a day, in the morning and evening, for 6 months. Follow-up after the end of medication, follow-up period of 18 months. After the end of the programme, follow-up was continued until 5 years or until the subject died (or progressed). The primary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS), and the secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS), minimal residual disease (MRD), circulating tumour cell assay, chinese medicine symptom score, quality of life assessment (QoL), immune indicators, tumour markers, peripheral blood systemic immune- inflammation index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI).

RESULTS

This will be the first trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fuzheng Quxie Formula in inhibitting metastasis after surgery in stage IIA-IIIA lung cancer with negative driver genes.

CONCLUSIONS

This will be the first trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fuzheng Quxie Formula in inhibitting metastasis after surgery in stage IIA-IIIA lung cancer with negative driver genes.

CLINICALTRIAL

BACKGROUND

COVID-19 has significantly impacted cross-border movement in Eastern and Southern Africa, with border closures and containment measures affecting the region's economy and social fabric.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess community myths, beliefs, perceptions, and information needs among Somali communities living on and near ground crossings in Tog-wajaale, Somali region, Ethiopia.

METHODS

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using a multistage sampling technique. Beliefs and perceptions of the virus's spread and control were partially adapted from WHO resources, exploring four main perception themes: perceived facilitators for the spread of the virus, perceived inhibitors, risk labeling, and socio-demographic variables. A sample size of 634 was determined using the single proportion formula, and the data were analyzed using STATA version 14.1.

RESULTS

The mean percentages of behavioral non-adherence and lack of an enabling environment as facilitators of virus spread were both high, at 62.5% and 92.2%, respectively. The highest perceived inhibitor to control the spread of Covid-19 was seen to be myth (79.3%), followed by preventive measures (46.6%) and false guarantees (40%).

CONCLUSIONS

Understanding cross-border transmission dynamics, movement patterns, and the behavior of cross-border actors is crucial for developing effective, contextually appropriate risk communication and community engagement strategies to mitigate COVID-19 risk in border communities.

Global financial turmoil: Examining its risks and ripple effect on financial systems
Authors: Haliti Baruti Blerta , Nallbani Berisha Shqiponja , Gashi Rrezarta
Published: September 2024

Over the past two decades, the global economic landscape has faced substantial turmoil, marked by major events such as the 2007 financial crisis and the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to theoretically clarify the consequences of the global financial crisis on the developing economy of Kosovo, with a particular focus on its financial system, and to propose potential future reforms in this sector. Using a comparative analysis of different time periods, specifically examining the financial crisis from 2008 to 2023 in Kosovo, the study reveals that the global economic crisis has significantly impacted Kosovo’s economy. This is evident in the pronounced fluctuations in key macroeconomic indicators, including gross domestic product (GDP), trade balance, consumer price index (CPI), unemployment rates, remittances, and foreign direct investment (FDI) during this period. The findings suggest that two fundamental factors — the low level of economic integration and the government’s shift in priorities towards capital investments — have mitigated the crisis’s impact on Kosovo. The paper also highlights the ongoing challenges of inflation and emphasizes the need for strategies to ensure resilience and sustainable economic prosperity in the future.
Inhabiting the “Third Space” in Higher Education:
Authors: Gately Leone
Published: September 2024

This institutional-level case study seeks to explore the experiences of a subset of educational technology practitioners working in an Irish university. The concept of the “third space” in the context of higher education is utilised to understand the space that crosses pedagogical, technological, and academic fields in which educational technologists find themselves operating in. Drawing on Celia Whitchurch’s typologies of “third-space” higher educational professionalism the paper reflects on the true experiences and insights of educational technology practitioners who inhabit this space. It reveals their actual job realities as they seek to carve out their role and legitimise their identities within existing university structures. The discussion draws upon the themes emerging in the context of the scholarly field in which the research is situated. The author advocates that universities need to enable more supportive structures which are conducive to educational technologists working effectively in the third space and developing professionally in a responsive manner to the changing higher education landscape. To conclude, the practical implications of the study, the limitations and further research opportunities are highlighted.

Authors: Freitas Volnei Adriano de , Fontes Filho Joaquim Rubens
Published: September 2024

Este estudo foca o papel desempenhado da Função de Auditoria Interna (FAI) no sistema de governança corporativa (SGC) de bancos atuando no Brasil. Tem como objetivo investigar porquê e como a FAI foi incorporada ao SGC, e as consequências geradas para ambos, tendo como referências as perspectivas de redução dos problemas de agência, trazidos pela teoria da agência, e a adequação isomórfica ao ambiente em resposta às suas pressões, tratadas pela teoria institucional. O estudo qualitativo, de natureza exploratória e descritiva, considerou uma abordagem multiteórica, utilizando os pressupostos dessas teorias ao material obtido em treze entrevistas semiestruturadas com auditores e conselheiros. Os resultados das análises contribuem para ampliar a compreensão sobre como ocorreu essa incorporação, e o papel representado pela FAI para o SGC. Os resultados são: i) três fatores atuaram como direcionadores: a própria evolução do negócio, a regulação e a convergência de premissas e práticas; e ii) o reposicionamento organizacional gerou consequências ao escopo de trabalho, à intensificação dos conflitos para manutenção da independência e à percepção de valor agregado pela FAI. O estudo apresentou como contribuições ao SGC: a revelação do potencial da FAI para gerar insumos para seu monitoramento, ao atuar como sua extensão enquanto agente de controle no ambiente operacional. Quanto à FAI, o estudo sugere que necessita qualificar seu quadro funcional e se desenvolver metodologicamente para entregar informações condizentes à tomada de decisão pelo SGC; e que a regulação bancária tem função relevante na definição dos papéis que desempenha, legitimando seu posicionamento organizacional.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether the relationship between average glucose (AG) levels and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) differs across racial/ethnic groups.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We performed a prospective substudy of GRADE, a comparative effectiveness randomized trial conducted in 36 centers in the U.S. A total of 1,454 of the 5,047 participants in the GRADE cohort, including 534 non-Hispanic White (NHW), 389 non-Hispanic Black (NHB), and 327 Hispanic White patients and 204 patients of other racial/ethnic backgrounds, were included in the substudy. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) performed for 10 days was used to calculate AG10. Immediately after CGM, HbA1c and glycated albumin were measured. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glucose area under the curve (AUC) were derived from a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test.

RESULTS

The relationship between AG10 and HbA1c was significantly different for NHB compared with NHW patients and those of other racial/ethnic groups. HbA1c levels were 0.2–0.6 percentage points higher in NHB than in NHW patients for AG10 levels from 100 to 250 mg/dL. For an HbA1c of 7%, AG10 was 11 mg/dL higher for NHW than for NHB patients. Similar findings were observed across races for relationships of FPG and AUC with HbA1c and for glucose measurements with glycated albumin levels. Differences in the relationship between AG10 and HbA1c across racial groups remained after adjustments for any demographic or other differences between racial/ethnic subgroups.

CONCLUSIONS

The relationship between several measures of glucose with HbA1c and glycated albumin consistently differed across races. These findings should be considered in setting treatment goals and diagnostic levels.
Can pin-site inflammation be detected with thermographic imaging? A cross-sectional study from the USA and Denmark of patients treated with external fixators
Authors: Fridberg Marie , Rahbek Ole , Husum Hans-Christen , Anirejuoritse Bafor , Duch Kirsten , Iobst Christopher , Kold Søren
Published: September 2024

Background and purpose: Patients with external fixators are at risk of pin-site infection. A tool for objective monitoring of pin sites for evolving signs of infection is warranted. We aimed to investigate the temperature (MaxTp) difference between clean and visually inflamed pin sites using thermography and to establish the optimal cut-off value of MaxTp using thermography as a screening tool for inflammation detection.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed in the USA and Denmark of patients with circular external fixators. Pin sites were visually judged by a surgeon or a nurse as clean or as showing signs of inflammation. The MaxTp was obtained at the pin site by thermographic imaging using an infrared camera (FLIR T540).Results: We included 1,970 pin sites from 83 patients. The mean MaxTp for clean pin sites (n = 1,739) was 33.1°C (95% confidence interval [CI] 32.8–33.4) and the mean MaxTp for visual inflamed pin sites (n = 231) was 34.0°C (CI 33.6–34.3). The mean difference, when adjusted for repeated observations of patients and pin sites, was statistically significant with a difference of 0.9°C (CI 0.7–1.1) (P < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for MaxTp as a screening tool to detect visual signs of inflammation was 0.71 (CI 0.65–0.76). The empirically optimal cut-off value was 34.1°C with a sensitivity of 65%, a specificity of 72%, a positive predictive value of 23%, and a negative predictive value of 94%.Conclusion: We found a statistically significant difference in mean temperature between pin sites with and without visual signs of inflammation. Thermography could be a promising tool for future point of care technology for monitoring inflammation around pin sites.

Authors: Khalili Pendar , Brüggemann Anders , Tevell Staffan , Fischer Per , Hailer Nils P , Wolf Olof
Published: September 2024

Background and purpose: Fracture-related infections (FRIs) after osteosynthesis for hip fractures have not been thoroughly investigated. Our primary aim was to assess the association between FRIs and mortality after osteosynthesis for hip fracture. Secondary aims were to investigate the incidence, microbiology, and general epidemiological aspects of these FRIs.Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 1,455 patients > 18 years old with non-pathological hip fractures treated with osteosynthesis between 2015 and 2019. Medical records were reviewed and FRIs were diagnosed based on current consensus criteria. The follow-up period was 2 years. Mortality was estimated using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. Cox regression analyses were performed to investigate the potential association between FRIs, as a time-dependent variable, and increased mortality.Results: The median age for the entire cohort was 83 (interquartile range 75–89) years and 69% were females. At the 2-year follow-up mark, the crude mortality rate was 33% in the non-FRI group and 69% (11 of 16 patients) in the FRI group. Cox regression analysis assessing mortality risk revealed a hazard ratio of 3.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.9–6.4) when adjusted for confounders. The incidence of FRI was 1.1% (16 of 1,455 patients). Staphylococcus aureus was the most common pathogen. Most FRI patients (94%) required at least 1 revision and 56% underwent ≥ 2 revision.Conclusion: We found an association between FRIs after hip fracture osteosynthesis and increased mortality, underscoring the critical need for FRI prevention measures in this frail patient group. The incidence and microbiological findings were consistent with previous studies.
Laser powder bed fusion of pure copper using ring-shaped beam profiles
Authors: Bauch Alexander , Kohlwes Philipp , Kelbassa Ingomar
Published: September 2024

Additive manufacturing of copper using laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) enables the production of highly complex components. However, processing of copper by means of near-infrared laser radiation is challenging due to its absorptivity of only 5%–20%. Using a keyhole welding process with a Gaussian intensity distribution increases the absorptivity up to 53% due to multireflection. This enables the production of components with a density larger than 99.5% and electrical conductivity larger than 90% of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS), but this type of welding leads to keyhole porosity due to keyhole instabilities. One way of counteracting is the use of a heat conduction welding process. However, due to the Gaussian intensity distribution, it is not possible to supply sufficient energy to eliminate lack-of-fusion porosity and concurrently avoid the formation of a keyhole. Ring-shaped beam profiles have proven their advantages in stabilizing the PBF-LB/M process with a tendency toward higher laser power, but pure copper has not yet been processed in this way. Therefore, this study investigates the potential of three ring-shaped beam profiles to produce specimens with a density of more than 99.5% and their respective electrical conductivity using a laser power of up to 1300 W. In order to understand the underlying welding process, the weld geometry of single-tracks is analyzed. Specimens with a density of up to 99.77% and an electrical conductivity of up to 101.62% IACS are produced, whereby the material properties and welding regime depend on the selected ring-shaped beam profile.

Published: September 2024

The connections between viruses and their hosts are complex and can arise from any combination of different evolutionary events including “codivergence”, “switching”, and “duplication” of the pathogen. Mycoviruses, a diverse virus group whose members specifically infect fungal hosts, are subject to similar evolutionary processes. In this study, we present the identification and complete genome characterization of the second isolate of a mitovirus, commonly known as Tuber excavatum mitovirus, officially named Triamitovirus tuex1. This mycovirus infects the hypogean, ectomyrrhizal fungus Tuber excavatum Vittad.. Both Triamitovirus tuex1 isolates, Tekirdağ (identified by us) and Lammspringe, were found in the fruiting bodies of T. excavatum isolates collected from Türkiye and Germany, respectively. Comparative genomic analyses revealed that the two virus isolates share 85.33% sequence similarity in their whole genomes, with their protein encompassing RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain showing an identity rate of 94.60%. The most diverse part of the viral genomes was found to be the 5’ untranslated regions (UTRs), with a sequence similarity of 78.53%, while the 3’ UTRs were the most conserved, with 91.53% sequence similarity. Considering the shared host species, the emergence of these Triamitovirus tuex1 isolates appears to reflect a duplication pattern (intra-host divergence) resulting from adaptive radiation.

Authors: Andrian Andrian , Ganefri Ganefri , Sukardi Sukardi
Published: September 2024

Electric Power Distribution System Learning has demands for learning outcomes so that students understand the concept, and have basic knowledge and skills in various constructions of electric power distribution networks. This requires varied and more contextual learning methods and requires contextual learning media as well. The learning media used should be able to provide real experiences for students in simulating the electric power distribution system according to the concepts they are learning. However, the ability of students in the configuration of various distribution networks has problems because there is no suitable learning media. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a valid power distribution system trainer for use in learning. This study aims to produce a valid electric power distribution system trainer. This type of research is research & development (R&D) using the ADDIE model. Research is limited to the development stage (development). The validation test was carried out by 4 validators using an instrument in the form of a validation sheet. The results of the validation show that the electric power distribution system trainer developed is in the valid category, both for content quality aspects and objectives, instructional, and technical. This indicates that the trainer developed is appropriate for use in learning in order to test its effectiveness.
Pendidikan Islam terhadap Anak dari Pernikahan Beda Agama
Authors: Farikhah Laelina , Makhrus M
Published: September 2024

Pernikahan beda agama yang dilarang oleh agama dan pemerintah, namun pada kenyataannya tetap terlaksana di negara kita. Tentunya berdampak pada keharmonisan dan terganggunnya psikologis anak, serta kurangnya pendidikan Islam yang mereka terima dari orang tua mereka. Sebagian dari mereka dapat mengikuti jejak agama Islam yang dianut oleh salah satu orang tua mereka. Melalui penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proses penanaman pendidikan Islam dari orang tua yang berbeda agama kepada anaknya. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi yang digunakan untuk meneliti fenomena-fenomena yang nyata dalam kehidupan sehari-hari yang dipaparkan secara kompleks dan deskriptif. Melalui wawancara mendalam kepada informan menunjukan bahwa pernikahan beda agama benar-benar terjadi di kalangan masyarakat, yang dilangsungkan dengan aturan agama non-Islam yang tercatat di Kantor Catatan Sipil. Dampak negatif, muncul perselisihan antara pasangan suami dan istri yang dapat berkelanjutan pada tahap perceraian, sehingga anak kurang kasih sayang orang tua dan berakibat pada mental anak yang menjadi pemalu, atau bahkan lebih bisa hidup mandiri. Dampak positif, dalam penentuan keagamaan anak tidak bergantung pada keputusan orang tuanya sehingga tertanam nilai demokrasi. Berhadapan dengan perbedaan agama dalam kesehariannya juga memunculkan nilai toleransi kepada anak. Dari segi pendidikan Islam, mereka memiliki kewajiban berbakti kepada orang tua, serta mendapatkan hak pengetahuan ke-Islaman oleh orang tuanya maupun melalui pendidikan formal yang kelak akan dianut atau tidaknya oleh mereka.

Abstract - The quality of Islamic Religious Education teaching is influenced by the understanding of Islamic teachings in everyday life and its application. For this reason, this research aims to analyze the influence of teachers' basic teaching skills and students' religious practices on Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 2 Surabaya City. Islamic Religious Education plays an important role in shaping the student’s character and morals so that the quality of Islamic Religious Education teaching becomes a determining factor in achieving the goals of religious education. The factors studied include teachers' basic teaching abilities, religious practices, and student independence. This research used a quantitative approach with 100 students from class VII. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and regression analysis which was used to assess the influence of independent variables on Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes. Research shows that the teachers' basic teaching skills, religious practices, and student independence partially and simultaneously have a positive effect on Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes. These results show that teachers' basic teaching skills, which include the ability to convey material, mastery of teaching methods, and the ability to adapt to students' needs, have a positive impact on students' understanding of religious teachings. Students' religious practices include religious activities such as prayer, reading the Quran, and other religious practices. The intrinsic attitude value which will lead to independence in learning and teaching religious teachings personally in everyday life makes a positive contribution to the learning outcomes of Islamic religious education.

The learning of Islamic Religious Education delivered in schools still impresses that this subject only stands alone and only teaches worship and sharia. Even though the content of the material in Islamic Religious Education has a relationship and teaches mutual respect. So there needs to be an understanding that Islamic Religious Education is not a subject that only stands alone and causes a dichotomy of science. The purpose of the study is to understand the material of Islamic Religious Education, especially in the Qur'an and Hadist families that are intergative and inclusive.  The research method used is qualitative descriptive by collecting research data sources from libraries such as journals, books, documents, and other freelance articles. The result in this study is the content in the Qur'an and Hadith which in itself has an inclusive and integrative insight. This requires a deep understanding so that you can know what verses of the Qur'an and Hadith are inclusive and integrative. This proves that the Qur'an and Hadith as scientific sources need to be tested for truth through scientific aids. For example, Surah An-Nur verse 43 regarding the process of rain that can be integrated with natural science. Then in Surah al-Kafirun verse 6 which means "for you your religion and for me my religion" here that there is no compulsion in religion and mutual respect for differences in adhering to religion.

Osmanlı Devleti’nde Reddedilen Marka Tescil Başvuruları Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Akay Tolga
Published: September 2024

Osmanlı Devleti’nde marka hukuku 1871 tarihli Alamet-i Farika Nizamnamesi ile başlamıştır. Aynı kanun 1888 yılında bazı ilaveler ile güncellenmiştir. 1888 tarihli Osmanlı marka kanununda marka olarak kabul edilemeyecek resim ve işaretler hakkında genel bir çerçeve çizilmemekle birlikte asayiş, adap ve ahlaka aykırı markaların tescil edilmeyeceği kanunun 2. Maddesinde belirtilmiştir. Nizamnameye eklenen ve kapsamları belirsiz bu kavramlar sebebiyle özellikle 1900’lü yılların başından itibaren birçok marka tescil başvurusu reddedilmiştir.
Bu çalışmada Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri temel alınarak marka tescil başvurularında inceleme aşaması ve incelemeler neticesinde reddedilen markaların özellikleri üzerine durulmaktadır. Marka tescil süreçlerinde yer alan birimlerin ret gerekçelerinin tespiti ile II. Abdülhamid döneminin siyasi ve sosyal havasının marka işaretlerine yansımalarının boyutunun tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Dönemin ayrılıkçı unsurlarının siyasi imalarının ve devletin bakış açısının markalar üzerinden okunması bu makalenin temel amacını teşkil etmektedir.

Dışişleri Bakanlığı Türk Diplomatik Arşiv Belgelerine Göre Cumhuriyet Öncesi Radyo ve Türkiye (1919-1923)
Authors: Soyer Zeyrek Özlem
Published: September 2024

Türkiye’de radyo yayıncılığının geçmişi, bilinenin aksine biraz daha eskidir. Ülkemizde ilk radyo yayınının başlaması 6 Mayıs 1927’de gerçekleşmişse de Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti kurulmazdan hemen önce telsiz telefonun kullanılmaya başlanması msöz konusu olmuştur. Radyonun topraklarımızdaki bu formdaki ilk varlığı onun daha çok Kurtuluş Savaşı döneminde iletişim amaçlı kullanıldığını gösterse de son belgeler bize bu iletişim deneyiminin daha da gelişmiş olarak sadece ülkenin savunmasında gerekli olan iletişime hizmet etmediğini, uluslararası platformda da çok çeşitli amaçlara hizmet ettiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca radyonun ithal edilen bir icat olması, belli ki ona sahip olmada ve onu iletişimde, yayıncılıkta kullanmada bazı iş birliklerini de gerektirmiştir. Diğer yandan bu çalışmada 16 Mart 1921 tarihli Moskova Antlaşması’nın radyonun Türkiye’ye girişi noktasında bir etkisinin olup olmadığı tartışılacaktır. Bahsi geçen yıllarda yeni üretilmiş bir iletişim aracı olan radyo, iletişim tarihinde bir dönüm noktası olur olmaz, derhal uluslararası siyasetin bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Dolayısı ile üzerinde çalıştığımız belgeler bize radyonun iletişim tarihine sunduğu kadar siyasette edindiği yere dair de bilgiler sunmaktadır. Bu gelişmelerin Osmanlı Devleti’nin yıkılış ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti’nin kuruluş sürecine denk gelmesi ise ayrıca önem arz etmektedir. Zira bu dönemde uluslararası platformda hayat bulan radyo, bizde daha 1925 ve 1927’ye gelinmeden Rus kaynaklı olarak hayata geçirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada kullandığımız belgeler Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri, Dışişleri Bakanlığı Türk Diplomatik Arşivi’nden elde edilmiş olup, anılan yıllarda en gelişmiş iletişim teknolojisi olan radyonun Türkiye ve O’nun uluslararası ilişkilerindeki rolüne temas etmek amaçlanmıştır.
