CUMHURİYETİN İLK YILLARINDA KADIN VE EĞİTİM ANLAYIŞI: KADIN DERGİSİNDE EĞİTİM, EĞİTİM DERGİSİNDE KADIN
Authors: ÇAKIROĞLU ÇEVİK Aylin
Published: August 2023

Kadın, eğitim ve kadının eğitimi konusu birçok ülke için üzerinde önemle durulan konu başlıklarından bazılarıdır. Özellikle ulus-devletlerin kuruluş sürecinde bu konular yönetimlerin politikalarında ağırlık kazanmaktadır. Örneğin, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarında gündemi işgal eden önemli konu başlıklarından bazıları bu konulardır. Dönemin koşulları göz önüne alındığında bunlar; ulus kimliğinin kazanılması, vatandaşlık kimliği ve bilincinin oluşturulması, istenen değer ve becerilerle yüklü insani sermayenin üretilmesi ve yeni bir insan ve hatta kadın tipinin kurgulanması için elzemdir. Kadın meselesi, her dönemin kendine özgü koşullarında dönemin ideolojik yapısı ve ataerkil ideolojinin birlikte çalışıp gündeme getirdiği ve en sonunda kadın tipini oluşturduğu bir meseledir. Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında ise, ülkenin geri kalmışlığının nedeni olarak görülüp kadınların “kalkındırılmasının” gerektiği ve milletin anneleri olarak yeni neslin yetiştirilmesi görevinin verilmesi söz konusudur. Eğitim ise, hem uluslaşma, kalkınma ve ideolojik altyapının yüklenmesi hem de kadın meselesi için vazgeçilmez bir enstrümandır. Dönemin koşulları itibariyle, azınlık bir okur-yazar kitlesinin varlığı, eğitimin temel işlevleri bakımından büyük bir engel teşkil etmekle birlikte eğitim alanının önemini daha da artırmaktadır. Dolayısıyla eğitimin nasıl kurgulandığı, örtülü öğretim programının (hidden cirriculum) ne olduğu ve bunun dönemin önemli tanıkları olan yayınlara nasıl yansıdığı incelenmelidir. Öyleyse, Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarındaki milliyetçi, ilerlemeci ve modernleşmeci bir yaklaşımla kadınların eğitimine yönelik adımlar atılmakla birlikte, kadını ve eğitimi merkezine alan dergiler bu konulara nasıl bakmışlardır? Alandaki iki temel dergide eğitim ve kadın konuları nasıl yansıtılmıştır? Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarındaki dergiler aracılığıyla hem dönemin egemen anlayışını hem de eğitim dergisinde kadına, kadın dergisinde eğitime nasıl yaklaşıldığını anlamak için gerçekleştirdiğimiz bu çalışmada, Muallimler Mecmuası (1922-1927) ve Kadın Yolu/Türk Kadın Yolu (1925-1927) dergileri incelenmiş ve karşılaştırmalı bir biçimde tartışılmıştır. Her iki dergi için genel olarak, eğitimli anne, eğitimli eş/zevce ve vatandaş olarak eğitimli kadın üçlemesi üzerinden ortak bir kadın tipolojisi çizilmekle birlikte, Muallimler Mecmuası’nda öğrenci ve öğretmen kadın vurgusu ile kadının eğitim sürecinin önemli bir parçası olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Dönemin makbul vatandaşları olacak kadınların, eğitimli olmaları ve aileden başlayarak tüm millete yayılacak bir modernleşme sürecinin aktörleri olmaları beklenmektedir. Ayrıca, kadının, eğitimli anne ve eş olarak kurgulanması, aynı zamanda ataerkil ideolojinin yeniden üretilmesine de işaret eder.

Authors: Bortnik Lukasz , Burger Joost , Morgans Ryland , Rhodes David
Published: August 2023

The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of 15min blocks on physical metrics during transitions, analyse frequency, type, duration, and recovery period between clusters of transitional activities (CTA) in elite football. During ten official matches 23 elite footballers were tracked using GPS devices. Metrics per minute (m·min-1) as well as absolute variables: total distance (TD), high-speed running distance (HSRD > 19.8 km·h-1), sprint distance (SD > 25.2 km·h-1), relative high-speed running distance (VelB4), relative sprint distance (VelB5), acceleration distance (AccB3 Dist, distance with variations in running speed > 3 m·s-2), the number of high-intensity accelerations (HI Acc > 3 m·s-2) and decelerations (HI Dec > 3 m·s-2) were quantified. Significant effects of 15min blocks were found for TD (m) (p < .001; ES = .078), TD (m·min-1) (p = .047; ES = .036), HSRD (m) (p = .033; ES = .039), VelB4 (m) (p < .001; ES = .132), and HI Dec (n·min-1) (p = .002; ES = .059). Transitional activities recovery period was found to be 108.5 ± 26.2 s, CTA recovery period was 25.7 ± 3.6 s, while CTA peak duration reached 53.3 ± 18.2 s. This study indicates that physical metrics decrease in the last 15min blocks during transitions and high-pressure activities in games. In conclusion, repeated high intensity / high velocity activities frequently occur during contextualized peak intensity periods (transitions) in football, which should be reflected in modern training design.

Oryza sativa (arroz) e Musa cavendishii (banana) são espécies importantes nas plantações no Estado do Tocantins, configurando-se como fontes de biomassas residuais lignocelulósicas. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo comparar parâmetros químicos presentes nas duas fibras, visando identificar qual delas possui maior potencial para extração de nanocelulose. Amostras in natura foram caracterizadas quanto aos teores de umidade, cinzas, extrativos, lignina, hemicelulose e celulose, verificadas por Espectroscopia de Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FT-IR). Os resultados permitiram verificar que a casca de arroz apresentou valores superiores para teores de cinzas, lignina e celulose, enquanto os valores de umidade, extrativos e hemicelulose se apresentaram em maior percentual no pseudocaule da bananeira. Ambas as biomassas apresentaram teores de celulose (principal polímero) elevados, em torno de 49,64 ± 0,92% e 35,86 ± 0,70%, respectivamente. O teor de lignina apresentou-se bem inferior no pseudocaule (8,58 ± 0,64%). Os picos de FT-IR confirmaram os espectros correspondentes aos grupos lignocelulósicos em cada resíduo. Diante disso, permitiu-se inferir que as referidas biomassas configuram-se como matérias-primas importantes para produção de celulose em nanoescala.

Authors: Delanhese Bruna Cristina do Nascimento Silva , Pacobello Daniella Ribeiro , Da Silva Filho Cândido Ferreira , De Benedicto Samuel Carvalho
Published: August 2023

A indústria é responsável por inúmeras transformações urbanas e sociais, proporcionando o crescimento econômico, a geração de empregos e renda, entre outros. Em contrapartida, é também uma das maiores responsáveis pela degradação ambiental, resultado do seu processo de produção, que gera uma enorme quantidade de resíduos. A indústria extrai recursos da natureza, processa estes recursos e descarta resíduos. Decorre daí a relevância em se buscar alternativas para o descarte dos resíduos. Neste sentido, o método do coprocessamento se coloca como opção para reduzir o impacto da atividade industrial sobre a natureza. O estudo tem por objetivo caracterizar os impactos ambientais causados pelos resíduos gerados a partir dos processos produtivos industriais, estabelecer relações com as políticas públicas e apresentar os resultados da aplicação prática de ações de coprocessamento para minimizar os impactos da produção industrial sobre a natureza. No que diz respeito à metodologia, a pesquisa é bibliográfica e documental, de natureza aplicada, sua abordagem é qualitativa e, quanto ao seu objetivo, é classificada como exploratória. Os resultados indicam que o coprocessamento é uma solução relativamente nova e viável no âmbito econômico, ambiental e social, uma vez que o custo é o mesmo quando comparado ao descarte em aterros sanitários, elimina a contaminação de solo e água e reduz os impactos na sociedade, como o mau cheiro e aparecimento de vetores e pragas.
Biofuels production: A sustainable solution to combat climate change
Authors: PRASAD S , KUMAR AMIT , MURALIKRISHNA K S
Published: August 2023

This paper reviews the situation of biofuels production with regard to climate change and sustainability. The biomass energy or biofuels combustion is carbon neutral or even carbon negative as the carbon, which is stored during its growth, is released and does not add new carbon to the active carbon cycle, whereas fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas remove carbon from geologic storage and contribute to climate change by emission of GHGs. Biofuel also controls the carbon emissions from biomass facilities which would have been released back into the atmosphere through natural decay or disposal through open-burning. Inspite of these GHG benefits, the progress in biofuels expansion is at crossroads as it is influenced by various factors like land use changes and food security related issues. However biofuels from degraded land and from non-food crops are promising and will help in climate change mitigation. Proper planning in land use and identifying most appropriate policies for promoting this will help in tackling the global issue and in achieving the goal. The technology utilizing carbon sequestered in various sources, for ethanol, biodiesel and other biofuels production is a sustainable solution to climate change rather than biofuels from food crops.

Published: August 2023

The study was conducted with the objective to identify the factors influencing the entrepreneurial behaviour of farm women in vegetable enterprise in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India. The data collected from 100 farm women of two blocks of the district by personal interview using multi-stage sampling technique revealed that majority of respondents had low to medium level of management orientation, economic motivation, risk orientation, self confidence, moderate to high level of achievement motivation and leadership ability. The majority respondents had low level of utilisation of available assistance, medium level of farm decision making, less innovative and poor level of knowledge about the enterprise. The overall entrepreneurial behaviour of majority respondents (92%) was of low to medium level. Except age and family size, all the personal attributes of the respondents were positively and significantly correlated with overall entrepreneurial behaviour. The regression coefficient of formal education, experience in enterprise, information sources utilization and scientific orientation were significant emphasizing the need to concentrate more on these factors for promoting entrepreneurship development among the vegetable women farmers. Apart, these farm women should be encouraged for formation of groups and made aware of technical knowhow through trainings, demonstrations and exposure visits besides strengthening the marketing facilities in the area. The co-efficient of determination (R2) explained 47.35 per cent of variation in the entrepreneurial behaviour by all the variables together emphasizing the need of identification of other unidentified variables through future research.

Due to recent demographic and epidemiological changes in the population, marked by progressive and accelerated ageing followed by chronic-degenerative diseases, long-term care has become necessary and, with it, the need for lasting contact with medical professionals. All this contact takes place through communication. Communication is a social practice that comes from an interaction between individuals, and can be expressed verbally, through speech; and non-verbal aspects, writing, behavior, gestures, touch, among others. In the context of care, it is understood that communication must have an effective and therapeutic effect. This is because, when communication is carried out effectively, it allows patients and their families to have a greater understanding, as well as acquiring ways of coping with the problem, realizing their role as being an active subject throughout care. In view of the facts presented, the general aim of this study was to investigate the doctor-patient communication process through the literature. For this article, the integrative literature review methodology was used, carried out through data collection in databases between July and August 2023. The inclusion criteria were articles published between 2015 and 2022, articles in Portuguese and English, articles acquired in full and free of charge, which addressed the topic of doctor-patient communication. To develop the results of this article, 10 articles relevant to the topic were added to the descriptors. The results show the enormous importance of both verbal and non-verbal communication in building doctor-patient interpersonal relationships. Even before a dialogue is established, the relationship is developed through facial expressions, behavior and gestures. Thus, in the doctor-patient relationship, it is important that contact is developed in trust and transparency. It can be concluded that the studies investigated in this review converge in terms of the complexity of the issue, and that health professionals need to be better prepared, as well as developing interventions with patients and their families to develop communication skills. Regardless of whether the communication is verbal or non-verbal, it is important for the doctor to master and establish ways of interacting with the patient.

MALAYSIA OIL PALM INDUSTRY-ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND PRESENT SCENARIO: PART 2: AN ALTERNATIVE FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL DIRECTION
Authors: CHONG CHIEW LET
Published: August 2023

In part 1, the presently available environmental schemes applicable to the oil palm industry have been outlined. At present environmentally speaking, the Malaysian oil palm industry is attempting to secure recognition for the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification Scheme which is based on a Malaysian standard drawn up by the industry. This move was spearheaded with the support from industry organisations and members facilitated by MPOB. The MSPO scheme will be mandatory for the Malaysian oil palm industry in the near future and is parallel to the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil scheme (ISPO). This paper advocates the establishment of a national scheme for environmentally friendly oil palm products based on the ISO 14000 family of standards. With this proposed claim, Malaysian palm oil and oil palm products can then be marketed or branded as environmentally friendly products. As the ISO 14000 family of standards fully supports the environmental sustainability aspect, products accepted as being environmentally friendly can be deemed to be produced sustainably. Since the scheme is based on the ISO 14000 family of standards and independently certified as such by independent third party assessors, this scheme will have a good chance of being accepted by overseas consumers and buyers of Malaysian palm oil and oil palm products. Keywords: Palm oil, environmentally friendly, sustainability, ISO 14000 standards, independent certification, MSPO, environment labelling, branding.

Published: August 2023

An improved method of controlling unwanted banana plant (Musa spp.) with a mixture of glyphosate isopropylamine 48.6 per cent w/v, metsulfuron-methyl 20 per cent w/w and water in the ratio 4:1:16 is reported in this paper. Field trials in an oil palm plantation showed that a single application of 0.5 ml to 0. 6 ml of this mixture soaked in bamboo stick was able to achieve 100 per cent mortality in a single application inserted into the basal region of the trunk of the banana plant. Follow-up treatment was not necessary as the treatment also prevented the growth of any suckers. On the other hand, although the conventional method of using 2,4-D amine 86.5 per cent w/v and water in ratio 1:6 was able to achieve 100 per cent mortality, it was unable to prevent the growth of suckers satisfactorily. The treatments were done on standing banana plants that have not been po/larded as is commonly done. Keywords: Musa spp., weed management, unwanted banana plant, glyphosate, metsulfuron-methyl, 2,4- D amine

Published: August 2023

Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among clones for fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield, bunch number and average bunch weight at P<0.01. Highly significant year effects at P<0.01 were also noted for FFB yield and yield component traits. Mean FFB yield in the first five years of harvesting for 11 clones was 206. 03 kg per palm per year or 28.02 tonnes per hectare per year, which was 16 per cent higher than the control commercial DxP seedlings. Coefficient of variation (CV) analysis showed that the clones had lower CV values as compared to the control commercial DxP seedlings for FFB yield and its component traits. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the treatments for all the bunch and fruit component traits at P<0.01.The top ranking clones, 10-S25 and 41-T37, had oil to bunch of more than 30 per cent while the lowest oil to bunch of 22.95 per cent was recorded by clone 3-S4. For oil yield, overall mean for clones was 8.09 tonnes per hectare per year which was 23 per cent higher than the control commercial DxP seedlings (6.56 tonnes/ha/year). Three clones (10-S25, 41-T37 and 49-U12) with estimated oil yield of more than 8 tonnes per hectare per year were recommended as ortets for the next re-cloning programme because they met the Malaysian Standard (MS 2099:2008) for ortet selection. Keywords: Tenera clones, oil yield performance, FFB yield performance and re-cloning.

Vertical 3-Terminal Artificial Synaptic Devices
Authors: Jeong Nahyun , Lim Kyung-Geun
Published: August 2023

Recently, synaptic devices have the advantages of being able to process
information in parallel. However, nondestructive weight control is limited in
2-terminal synaptic devices because reading and writing are conducted in a
common electrode. Hence, 3-terminal synaptic devices with separately reading and
writing processes are currently emerging for not only nondestructive weight
control without data loss but also a very short vertical channel length. Since
the length of the vertical channel is determined as the thickness of the active
layer, nanometer range channel length can be achieved. According to the
nano-scaled channel length, vertical 3-terminal artificial device can be
operated with low voltage and energy consumption. In this review paper, vertical
3-terminal artificial synaptic devices were classified by electric field
transmission or ion migration into organic semiconductor. According to a recent
study, vertical 3-terminal artificial synapse was able to simulate a biological
synapse even with a low driving voltage of up to 10 μV and a current density of
MAcm−2 level. This review article gives an overview of vertical
3-terminal artificial synaptic devices, and suggest a practical strategy to
achieve the massive data processing with high speed and low power
consumption.
Characterizing Solution-Processed Small-Molecule Organic
Light-Emitting Diodes Depending on Host Composition of Emitting
Layer
Authors: Woo Joo Yoon , Lee Jung Hun , Han Tae-Hee
Published: August 2023

A method for achieving efficient and stable solution-processed small-molecule
organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is presented by utilizing a combination of
a multifunctional hole injection layer (HIL) and a mixed-host emitting layer
(EML). The polymeric HIL facilitates efficient hole injection into the
solution-processed EML and blocks electrons from the EML through
self-organization of polymer chains in the HIL. In addition to the
multifunctional HIL, the optimized mixed-host EML, composed of electron and hole
transporting host materials, along with phosphorescent dopant, enables efficient
energy transfer, balanced charge transport, and efficient charge carrier
recombination in the device. As a result, it improves luminance (~14,000
cd/m2), luminous efficiency (~55 cd/A), and operational lifetime
(~180 minutes under constant current emitting initial luminance of 1,000
cd/m2, equivalent to approximately 150 hours at an initial
luminance of 100 cd/m2). Notably, this device architecture does not
include an additional hole transporting/electron blocking layer. This is because
the introduction of a mixed-host composition widens the recombination zone in
the EML, effectively preventing triplet-triplet excitons/triplet-polaron
annihilation caused by charge carriers and excitons accumulated at the narrow
heterointerfaces in OLEDs.
Rhodanine-Based Non-Fullerene Acceptors for Organic Solar Cells with
a High Open-Circuit Voltage of 1.07 V
Authors: Kim Kwangmin , Kim BongSoo
Published: August 2023

To overcome the intrinsic limitations of fullerene-based organic photovoltaic
(OPV) devices, research on OPV devices based on non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs)
has been actively conducted in recent years. It is important to understand the
relationship between the structure of the NFAs and photovoltaic properties to
create high-performance OPV devices. In this study, we have designed and
synthesized a series of NFAs (DFDO-RC2 and DFDE-RC2) based on electron-rich
dithienosilole (D) and electron-deficient difluorobenzodiathiazole (F),
benzodiathiazole-connected 3-ethylrhodanine (RC2) units, and alkyl chains of
2-ethylhexyl (E) and octyl (O) groups. The PTB7-Th:DFD-RC2 devices showed low
PCEs mainly due to the highly located highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)
energy levels of the DFD-RC2 acceptors compared to the PTB7-Th polymer donor. To
lower the HOMO levels of the DFD-RC2 NFAs, the backbone structures were modified
by replacing difluorobenzodiathiazole core moiety with difluorobenzene (FBz) to
obtain DFBz-RC2 molecules (DFBzO-RC2 and DFBzE-RC2). PTB7-Th:DFBz-RC2 devices
exhibited significantly improved PCEs compared to PTB7-Th:DFD-RC2 devices. The
DFBzO-RC2 and DFBzE-RC2 molecule-based OPVs exhibited remarkably high
Vocs of 1.03 and 1.07 V, respectively, which
characteristic is associated with the very low energy loss
(Eloss) of 0.51 eV in both PTB7-Th:DFBzO-RC2
and PTB7-Th:DFBzE-RC2 devices. Overall, our investigation of the various
synthesized molecules reveals the structure-to-photovoltaic properties, which
guide the design of new high-performance NFAs to advance in the field of organic
solar cells.

Smart windows can perform energy savings, intelligent lighting, and privacy
protection within buildings and their potential applications have extended to
next-generation mobility. However, the widespread adoption of smart windows is
hindered by challenges related to scalability, cost-effectiveness, and
performance reliability. In this context, smart windows based on liquid crystals
(LCs) may offer notable advantages such as rapid driving speed and scalability.
This review article aims to present the recent research trends in LC-based smart
windows.

Objective

To compare mortality from all causes, internal causes (eg, cancers, circulatory and respiratory system diseases), and external causes (eg, suicide, accidents, assault) among people who were sexually abused during childhood with mortality for the general population.

Design

Historical cohort study.

Setting, participants

2759 people (2201 women, 79.8%) who had experienced medically assessed contact sexual abuse in Victoria while aged 16 years or younger during 1964–1995, as recorded in Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine records.

Main outcome measures

Mortality rate, based on linked National Death Index data (1980–2020), by five‐year age group; sex‐ and age‐standardised mortality ratios; comparison of rates with age‐ and sex‐adjusted rates for the general Victorian population (incident rate ratio [IRR]).

Results

We included 115 deaths of people under 50 years of age in our analysis (4.2% of people sexually abused as children; 79 women, 36 men); 56 deaths were attributed to external, 56 to internal causes (cause of death information missing in three cases). In each age group from 15–19 years, the mortality rates for people sexually abused as children were higher than for the general population; age‐ and sex‐standardised all‐cause mortality ratios were highest for people aged 25–29 years (men: 16.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 11.0–22.0; women: 19.2; 95% CI, 14.3–24.2). The age‐ and sex‐adjusted mortality rate for people sexually abused as children was higher than in the general population for all‐cause (IRR, 8.25; 95% CI, 5.92–11.5), internal cause (IRR, 5.92; 95% CI, 3.89–9.01), and external cause deaths (IRR, 12.6; 95% CI, 9.61–16.6); the differences in external cause mortality were greater for people who had experienced penetrative (IRR, 14.9; 95% CI, 10.9–20.5) than for those who had experienced non‐penetrative sexual abuse as children (IRR, 8.92; 95% CI, 5.35–14.9).

Conclusions

Sexual abuse during childhood is associated with higher mortality rates into mid‐adulthood. Preventing child sexual abuse and intervening early to reduce the damage it inflicts is not only essential for the welfare of the child, but could also help reduce avoidable deaths later in life.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) management includes primary chemotherapy, followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) if the bone marrow gets cleared of cancerous cells. In some cases disease relapse may occur if complete clearance is not achieved. Transplantation was primarily performed through the bone marrow; however, peripheral blood has become more favored due to its safety and convenient collection in case of appropriate bone marrow mobilization which is a challenging issue. Objectives: The current study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of desipramine application for bone marrow mobilization in multiple myeloma (MM) who were candidate for autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). Methods: The current randomized clinical trial involved 122 MM patients who were candidate for ABMT. The participants were divided into two intervention groups: the first group (n = 63) received G-CSF only treatment, while the second group (n = 59) received a similar G-CSF treatment plus desipramine. The first group received 30 microgram intravenous G-CSF for five days and the second one was treated with G-CSF with similar pattern in combination with daily 100 mg desipramine initiated within three days before G-CSF treatment and continued until the last dose of G-CSF. CD34+ cells and complete blood cells and differentiation were assessed by the end of the interventions. Results: The findings of the study show that the number of CD34+ cells, white blood cells (WBC) and platelet (PLT) count were remarkably higher among the patients receiving the combination therapy compared to the G-CSF only treated group (P-value < 0.001) within 5 days after the interventions; however, no significant differences were observed between the two groups when considering the stage of the disease and the frequency of chemotherapy sessions (P-value > 0.05). Conclusions: Desipramine application led to significantly increased levels of CD34+ cells as the representatives of bone marrow mobilization. Besides, the patients treated with this regimen had higher serum levels of WBC and PLT; however, the disease stage and the number of chemotherapy sessions did not affect the response to the treatment.

Currently, the electrical energy monitoring system can only be monitored by PLN. Electricity users can usually only see the amount of usage each month without knowing electricity usage at any time. Excessive use of electricity will cause payments to increase. Therefore, this research was conducted to monitor the electrical power used in boarding houses via an internet connection using the blynk application. This study aims to determine the amount of electrical energy consumption every day. This lot-based monitoring tool uses the PZEM-004T sensor to read the amount of electrical energy consumption such as voltage, current, power and energy. As for the media interface that displays the amount of electrical energy consumption using the LCD and the Blynk application.
Mitigating the Magic
Authors: Jalsevac John ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2023

Aquinas famously argues that there exists a purely active intellective power—i.e., the agent intellect—in each human agent that is capable of “abstracting” universals, including natures, from sensible phantasms. Robert Pasnau has worried, however, that Aquinas’s thin account of how the agent intellect performs abstraction makes abstraction appear to be little short of “magic.” In this paper I reply to Pasnau’s objection by arguing for the necessity of expanding the standard account of Aquinas’s theory to include the oft-neglected role of the so-called “interior sense powers,” in particular memory and the cogitative power, in his epistemology. I argue that for Aquinas memory and the cogitative power, operat­ing in close cooperation with intellect, are responsible for bridging the ontological and epistemological divide between sensation of the singular and intellection of the universal by producing the pre-intellective, quasi-knowledge of experience (experimentum), which is propaedeutic to abstraction.
Unde huic fictioni non est respondendum

William de la Mare suggests in his Correctorium fratris Thomae that it is possible to read Aquinas as saying that the will is necessitated by the intellect. Early defenders of Aquinas thought that this was nonsense (a fictio). However, I analyze Aquinas’s corpus and show that he has a consistent view of the relationship between the will and the intellect according to which the will is indeed necessitated by the intellect, not absolutely but conditionally: it is necessary that, if the intellect apprehends some object as good, then the will wills that object. However, I also argue that, although Aquinas is committed to the necessitation of the will by the intellect, it does not follow that the will lacks alternate possibilities.

Objective: The anatomical features of the renal arteries are important for the diagnosis of various diseases affecting the kidneys and the renal arteries (RA), as well as for preoperative planning of surgical interventions. The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the morphological and morphometric parameters of renal arteries specific to the Turkish population.
Methods: RA diameter, angle, and distance to other vessels were performed on computed tomography angiography images of 299 patients (156 women, 143 men), considering their branching variations and the level of origin from the abdominal aorta.
Results: The frequency of RA variations was 16.5%. The right RA was observed to arise between the lower T12 level and middle L4 level, most commonly (25.39%) at the L1-2 disc level. The left RA was found to originate between the upper T12 level and lower L3 level, mostly (27.44%) at the L1-2 disc level. The mean diameter of the right RA was 5.49±1.24 mm in females and 6.01±1.69 mm in males, while the mean diameter of the left RA was 5.96±1.44 mm in females and 6.45±1.74 mm in males. The mean exit angle of the right RA from the abdominal aorta was 57.06±17.27° in females and 57.65±16.62° in males, and that of the left RA was 67.05±18.13° in females and 70.37±17.42° in males. The distance of the right RA to the celiac trunk was 3.1±1.29 cm, and its distance to the aortic bifurcation was 9.56±1.52 cm. The distance of the left RA to the celiac trunk was 3.27±1.25 cm, and its distance to the aortic bifurcation was 9.38±1.41 cm. Analysis of the relationship of the study parameters with age showed statistically significant correlations between age and the left RA diameter and between age and the distance of both the right and left renal arteries to the celiac trunk.
Conclusion: This study could contribute to the literature on renal artery morphology and morphometry in the Turkish population and provide guidance to clinicians.
A comprehensive analysis of biomass energy in India for agricultural and domestic use
Authors: A Prakash  , K Lal
Published: August 2023

Biomass is an abundant and renewable resource in India, with vast potential for use in energy production, agricultural applications, and waste management. The country has made significant strides in developing and utilizing biomass resources for various purposes in recent years. One of the primary uses of biomass in India is for energy production. Biomass fuels, such as wood chips, agricultural residues, and municipal waste, are used in rural areas for cooking and heating. Additionally, the government has implemented policies and initiatives to promote the use of biomass for electricity generation. Biomass-based power plants have been established nationwide, with a total installed capacity of over 9,000 MW. Biomass is also used in agricultural applications in India. The country is a major producer of sugarcane, and bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing, is commonly used as a feedstock for producing biofuels and biogas. Additionally, farmers are increasingly using biomass-based fertilizers and pesticides to improve soil health and reduce chemical inputs. Regarding waste management, biomass is a valuable resource for converting organic waste into useful products. Anaerobic digestion and composting are popular methods for treating organic waste, with the resulting biogas and compost being used for energy generation and agricultural applications, respectively. Overall, biomass is an essential resource for India, providing energy, supporting agriculture, and promoting sustainable waste management practices. With continued investment and innovation, biomass has the potential to play an even more significant role in the country's energy and agricultural sectors in the coming year.

Cashew (Annacardium occidentale L.) is a hardy and golden crop of arid regions, and the pseudo fruit, cashew apple is a vital source of sugars and vitamins that is discarded as a waste during cashew nut processing. Cashew apples start fermenting soon after the harvest, and due to the presence of a wide spectrum of polyphenols and tannins, the change of colour of cashew apples leads to an unappealing marketability and storage stability. The present study is aimed to rapid identification of different spoilage yeasts and to identify them using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectroscopy. Spoilage yeasts like Candida krusei, C. tropicalis, Pichia norvegensis, Brettannomyces bruxellensis were the spoilage yeasts found to have high confidence score values of 2.00 - 3.00 with high consistency.
