Authors: Carrillo González Gloria Mabel , Vargas Rosero Elizabeth , Franco-Rocha Oscar Yesid , Forero Piraneque July Liliana , Moreno Castro Alejandra , Castellanos Melisa
Published: March 2022

Background & Aim: The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale measures the presence, frequency, severity, and distress of symptoms. The scale is available in Spanish, but it has not been validated in Colombia. This study aims to translate, validate, and culturally adapt the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale for adults with cancer in Colombia.
Methods & Materials: Adults with cancer undergoing chemotherapy in an oncological outpatient center in Bogota, Colombia, were invited to participate in the study. Patients in end-of-life care or with cognitive deficits were excluded. Psychometric research was carried out and included: 1) Translation and cultural adaptation of the scale from English, 2) Construct validity and reliability with a convenience sample of 249 cancer patients. A factorial analysis of principal components was carried out with the Varimax rotation method in IBM SPSS v26.0. The reliability of the scale was estimated using Cronbach's Alpha; subsequently, factor analysis was carried out using structural equations in MPlus.
Results: The scale was adapted to the Colombian context. Two factors (physical and psychological) of the scale structure were produced by the factorial analysis that contributes 47.9% of the accumulated variance. The alpha coefficient of Cronbach ranged between 0.75 and 0.79. The final model goodness of fit was also adequate [X2 (128)=184.47, p = 0.008, CFI = 0.94, RMSEA: 0.04 [0.03, 0.06], SRMR: 0.06, TLI= 0.92].
Conclusion: The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale has adequate validity and reliability to measure the prevalence, frequency, stress, and severity of symptoms in adults with cancer in Colombia.

Published: March 2022

Background & Aim: Palliative nursing is based on the ability of nursing students to use their accumulated experiences and knowledge; however, basic nursing education does not provide adequate knowledge and skills regarding palliative and end-of-life care.  This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge of end-of-life care and attitudes toward dying people among nursing students.   
Methods & Materials: Cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational design was used in this study. A total of 708 nursing students were recruited conveniently from nursing students in 11 nursing programs. Data was collected using an online self-administered questionnaire in relation to knowledge and attitudes regarding palliative care using the palliative care quiz for nursing and Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale Form B (FATCOD-B).
Results: Nursing students have a satisfactory level of knowledge about palliative care with a mean of 61.0% and 50% of them scoring 83% correct answers. Moreover, students also have a moderate to high mean score (102.7, SD= 11.2) on attitudes towards caring for dying patients, indicating positive attitudes. Positive correlation found between communication and family as caregiver subscales of attitudes with knowledge total score (r= .08, r= .20, p< .05; respectively). The significant difference was found in attitudes related to gender, type of university, and whether receiving training or education about palliative care at school (p< .05).
Conclusion: Attitudes of nursing students and improving the level of knowledge regarding end of life care should be a priority to nurse educators, and nursing schools need to integrate palliative and end-of-life care into nursing curricula across all levels.
ECONOMIC WEED THRESHOLD OF MARANTA SOBOLIFERA PLANTS IN OFF-SEASON CORN
Authors: KUHN VITOR GUSTAVO , FERREIRA SILVIO DOUGLAS , DE CARVALHO ALYSSON OLIVEIRA , FEY EMERSON , DA COSTA NEUMÁRCIO VILANOVA
Published: March 2022

Maranta sobolifera (Caetê) has tolerance to chemical management and has spread consistently on the agricultural areas of the western region of Paraná over the years. However, there is little information about its potential to interfere with the main agricultural crops. This study aimed to estimate the economic weed threshold (EWT) of M. sobolifera plants in commercial areas of production of off-season corn. There were losses in grain yield of up to 303.7 kg plant-1 of M. sobolifera. Considering an acceptable loss in grain yield of 614.05 kg ha-1, EWT estimates varied from 2.0 to 41.2 plants m-2 of M. sobolifera. In practice, these data can be used in no-till areas, where complementary control is necessary at the crop post-emergence (V4-V6), after desiccation of the area, to maintain weed density at tolerable levels until the end of the cycle. In addition, factors such as the use of less competitive hybrids, obtaining the maximum productive potential of the crop, increasing the value of the harvested product and the efficiency of chemical management (desiccation) and a reduction in the cost of control contribute to the reduction of the EWT and make the adoption of management practices of M. sobolifera more profitable in off-season corn.
Implicações do Investimento Directo Estrangeiro em Moçambique: O caso da mineradora Ruby Mining (2014-2019), seus impactos no Crescimento Sócio-Económico local e na violação dos direitos humanos
Authors: Benjamim Malunde Sa
Published: March 2022

Este trabalho de investigação visa compreender as implicações do investimento directo estrangeiro no crescimento sócio-económico e na violação dos direitos humanos por parte da mineradora Ruby Mining que opera no posto administrativo de Namanhumbir, distrito de Montepuez, Província de Cabo Delgado desde 2014 a 2019. A pesquisa privilegiou o recurso a métodos de abordagem qualitativa com especial ênfase na entrevista semi-estruturada junto a testemunhas-chave, selecionadas consoante as funções por elas desempenhadas. Os dados qualitativos foram analisados mediante uma grelha de análise de discurso decorrente das entrevistas realizadas. A pesquisa concluiu que o investimento da Ruby Mining é parcialmente positivo no que diz respeito ao crescimento sócio-económico, inclusive as receitas fiscais produzidas em favor do Estado Moçambicano; entretanto, a nível local as mudanças não foram significativas, olhando pelo nível de vida associado ao número de infraestruturas sociais erguidas pela mineradora e os postos de emprego engendrados para a população local. No período em compreensão, assiste-se de igual modo a violações relevante em termos de direitos humanos, que desaguaram numa sentença do Tribunal de Londres no sentido de ressarcir as populações afectadas por tais violências.
Historia antropologii w Polsce

Published: March 2022

Artykuł niniejszy ukazał się w 1985 roku w Anglii jako szósta z kolei pozycja w serii małych monografii, wydawanych przez Międzynarodowe Stowarzyszenie Biologów Człowieka i poświęconych dziejom antropologii fizycznej w różnych krajach (International Association of Humań Biologists, Occasional Papers, ed. D. F. Roberts, Newcastle upon Tyne, England).

Ponieważ opracowanie to dotarło do Polski tylko w kilkunastu egzemplarzach rozesłanych polskim członkom stowarzyszenia, redakcja "Przeglądu" zdecydowała się na opublikowanie jego wersji polskiej, w mniemaniu, że może ona być przydatna, np. dla celów dydaktycznych. Artykuł napisany został pierwotnie w języku angielskim (przez jednego z trójki autorów, na podstawie szczegółowego konspektu opracowanego wspólnie przez wszystkich trzech). Tekst tu publikowany jest wiernym przekładem z oryginału angielskiego. Należy pamiętać, że pisany on był z myślą o czytelniku niepolskim; stąd np. w doborze piśmiennictwa autorzy dawali, gdzie to było możliwe, priorytet publikacjom w językach angielskim, niemieckim lub francuskim. Przekładu oryginału na język polski dokonała Zofia Prele, co odnotowujmy z podziękowaniem.

Tin in Human Bones
Authors: Jambor Jaroslav , Smrcka Václav
Published: March 2022

The tin content in the bones of 149 skeletons from the 1st - 5th centuries A.D., and of 11 individuals of the recent population was determined. The bone samples were carbonized and analyzed through emission spectroscopy with a.c. excitation. The tin content in bones of recent populations not exposed to extra tin supply is about one order of magnitude higher than is the case with the bones od some populations that lived at the beginning of our era. The distribution of tin in long bones, dependent on age, as well as the sources and role of tin in environmental contamination are discussed.
Evolution of theological views on evolution
Authors: Halaczek Bernard
Published: March 2022

Biology-oriented theology and philosophy-oriented biology have been a matter of controversy in the studies of human origins. This controversy terminates at the point when they both recognise their peculiarity: biology is concerned with the “how” man came into existence and theology with “what” of the existence of man.
Biological effects of socio-economic changes in the rural environment of the Krosno province in 1967–1997
Authors: Łaska-Mierzejewska Teresa
Published: March 2022

Village girls in the age of 9-18 , inhabiting Krosno region, were surveyed in 1967 (n=l 134), 1977 (n=1028), 1987 (n=l 255), and 1997 (n=1992). Based on the source of income of the families, three groups were separated: farmers, farmers-workers and nonfarmers. The girls were also divided on the basis of the number of children in the family, and the educational status of their fathers and mathers. The age at menarche for entire region was 13.94 ± 0.06 in 1967, and 13.38 ± 0.05 in 1997. During the period of 30 years the acceleration of maturation was 0.54 of a year. This result does not reflect the real socioeconomic situation inside the rural population. In the period 1977-1997 the deceleration of menarcheal age was registered in nonfarmers group, in the group of families with 5 and more children, and in the group of girls with the highest level of fathers education. In 1977 the menarcheal age of girls from farmer group was 14.01 ± 0.21 and from nonfarmer group – 13.03 ± 0.12; in 1997 those ages were 13.52 and 13.39 respectively. The differences between compared groups changed, from 0.98 in 1977 to 0.13 of a year in 1997, as a result of socioeconomic situation in the decades 1977-1987 and 1987-1997.

Authors: Kulik-Rechberger Beata , Chrząstek-Spruch Hanna , Furmaga-Jabłońska Wanda
Published: March 2022

One hundred and ten children hospitalized because of acute and protracted diarrhea in the first year of life were followed up for an average period of 13.7 months. Three anthropological parameters were taken into consideration: body height, body weight and head circumference. At the time of the first examination all the parameters measured were significantly decreased but children tend to reestablish normal somatic growth pattern during the rehabilitation period through the acceleration of growth (phenomenon known as “catch-up growth”).
Perception of fatness
Authors: Jałkiewicz Małgorzata
Published: March 2022

The study’s objective was to find out whether there is a relationship between bodily fatness traits described with anthropometric measurements and the assessment of the physical attractiveness of people with different degree of fat deposition. Furthermore, an attempt was made to answer the question whether we perceive the physique of another man as a whole or if we pay more attention to certain parts of the body and whether there is a stereotype of desirable fat deposition.
Significance of the cranial venous system in anthropogenesis in the light of contemporary clinical and experimental data
Authors: Wysocki Jaroslaw
Published: March 2022

The manner of the appearance of the Hominidae family is still a very controversial issue, since there is no general agreement among the authors upon whether it was an isolated and extraordinary event in the natural history or rather a necessary consequence of the evolution process. Rapid augmentation of the cranium capacity which occurred in this group had been probably preceded by the development of the erect body posture. Elevation of the head created new, better conditions for the outflow of the venous blood from the cranium due to the involvement of the gravitation force into this mechanism. A new model of venous outflow from the cranium must have been developed.

Superhero Shakespeare in Golden Age Comics
Authors: Ciraulo Darlena
Published: March 2022

Albert Lewis Kanter launched Classic Comics in 1941, a series of comic books that retold classic literature for a young audience. Five of Shakespeare’s celebrated plays appear in the collection. The popularity of Classics Illustrated encouraged Seaboard Publishing to issue a competitive brand, Stories by Famous Authors Illustrated (1949-51), which retold three Shakespearean dramas. Although both these enterprises aimed to reinforce a humanist perspective of education based on Western literature, the classic comics belie a Posthuman aesthetic by presenting Shakespearean characters in scenes and postures that recall Golden Age superheroes. By examining the Shakespearean covers of Classic Illustrated and Stories by Famous Authors, this essay explores how Shakespearean characters are reimagined as Superhuman in strength and power.
Teaching beyond boundaries: Teachers as psychologists in English foreign language classrooms
Authors: Djebbarib Zakia , Djebbari Houda
Published: March 2022

It is acknowledged that large waves of recent research have necessitated new ways of thinking about learning and teaching. However, most teachers are not adequately prepared for considering the psychological health of their learners. We may assume that there seem to have no adequate resources to help them understand the fundamental issue that underpins psychology in English Foreign Language classrooms. Hence, this paper aims to redirect teachers’ attention, inspire their curiosity to move from the traditional ways of teaching to psychology-based education, in the hope to prepare our future generation to successfully engage the world. To collect data for the study, the researcher made use of questionnaires for students and teachers, and semi-structured interviews for teachers. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that self-confidence plays a role in learning a new language. Other findings are also displayed in the research and recommendations are made at the end of the study.
Keywords: English foreign language; classroom; Anxiety; learners; positive psychology; psychological health; self-confidence.

The research aims to find an effective way to reduce real-world CO2 emissions of passenger vehicles, by answering the question of what kind of vehicles in various countries generates the smallest carbon footprint. Emissions were calculated for vehicles from three of the most popular segments: small, compact and midsize, both with conventional body and SUVs. Each type of vehicle was analyzed with various types of powertrain: petrol ICE (internal combustion engine), diesel ICE, LPG ICE, petrol hybrid, LPG hybrid and BEV (battery electric vehicle) with four different carbon intensity of electric energy source. The final conclusion provides guidelines for environmentally responsible decision-making in terms of passenger vehicle choice.
Optimization of the electric bus radiator design in terms of noise emissions and energy consumption by computational fluid dynamics
Authors: Janicka Anna , Zawiślak Maciej Zawiślak , Głogoza Artur , Włostowski Radosław
Published: March 2022

The paper presents the numerical optimization of an innovative radiator for use in electric buses in terms of energy consumption and noise emission. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed. The flow of the cooling medium was modeled using the RANS method. The two-equation k-ɛ turbulence model, the heat transfer model and the acoustic model were used. According to the research results, the separation of the air stream in individual fan sections con-tributes to the improvement of energy efficiency and reduces noise emissions. As a result of the simulation, it was found that the best solution in terms of noise emission as well as the occurring flow phenomena caused about a 2 dB decrease of maximum values of the noise level and allowed the equalization of the cooling medium velocity (prevailing velocity range between 4 and 9 m/s). The results of the simulations were verified under laboratory and field conditions, showing a very good convergence of the model with the results of the experiments (i.e. the maximum noise level was estimated at 57 dB, under measurement conditions for the same operating point at 59 dB) while maintaining the baseline energy demand, which indicates a new approach in the method of shaping internal elements of electric vehicle coolers.

“I Smell the Ellero River Already”: Trauma and Exile in Roberto G. Fernández’s Holy Radishes!
Authors: ALTINDİŞ Hüseyin
Published: March 2022

Trauma studies aims to construct an intellectual and ethical response to human suffering and their cultural and artistic representations. Trauma studies have inspired an array of disciplinary and interdisciplinary criticism that offer paradigms for understanding human behavior and coping strategies. Drawing on postcolonial trauma theory, this essay analyzes how Roberto G. Fernández in his novel Holy Radishes! complicates and challenges existing trauma paradigms suggesting that existing European psychoanalytic origins of the trauma theory are not adequate for depicting Cuban trauma experience. The text focuses on the specificity of trauma that constructs meaning through considering social, historical, and cultural contexts of traumatic experience. In other words, the paper aims to break with Eurocentrism by analyzing the text that bears witness to the suffering caused by exile. Thus the paper aims to discuss the usefulness of trauma theory for understanding colonial trauma caused by forced migration, exile, dispossession, diaspora, and political violence.
Euripides’in Orestes’inde Ekklesia ve Orestes’in Davası
Authors: AKINCI ÖZTÜRK Esengül
Published: March 2022

Euripides’in Orestes tragedyasında halk meclisi büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Orestes’in meclisteki duruşması Orestes’in olay örgüsünün merkezinde yer alıp, tragedyayı bütünüyle şekillendirmektedir. Ancak meclisin Orestes’e niçin idam cezası verdiği oldukça ihtilaflıdır. Papadimitropoulos, Orestes’in suçlu bulunmasını tanrıların gazabından çekinen halkın kendi huzur ve refahını korumaya yönelik dini endişesine dayandırır. Ancak bu doğru olmadığı gibi, makul da değildir. Çünkü Argos halkı Orestes’i mevcut politik konjonktürün beklentisi doğrultusunda ve meclise de egemen olan yozlaşmış değerler üzerinden yargılamıştır. Bu makalede, Orestes’in meclis tarafından niçin suçlu bulunduğuna ilişkin bazı önemli filologların görüşleri ele alınacak ve Orestes’e verilen idam cezasının Tyndareos’un yozlaşmış halk meclisini etki altına alarak, çıkar amaçlı hareket eden halk tabakasını kötü yönlendirmesinden kaynaklandığı gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır.
Apocalyptic Reconstruction of A-bomb Literature, Frankenstein, The Phantom of the Opera: Onibaba
Authors: GÜVEN Devrim Çetin
Published: March 2022

Preliminary studies on Kaneto Shindō’s horror film Onibaba (1964) have based their analyses, in a positivist way, on the director’s elliptic statements, which inevitably restricted their perspective. Hence there are crucial points that preliminary studies overlooked: Onibaba was a self-criticism of Shindō, who had unintentionally contributed to the post-war Japan’s “victimisation narrative” with his early films, inspired by contemporary a-bomb literature. Furthermore, the film draws on many motifs from such popular Western horror films as Frankenstein 1970 (1958) and The Phantom of the Opera (1962) to form an allegorical image of an apocalyptic world, reverted to primitive ages due to the devastation by nuclear world wars. With this comparative study that tries to “unmask” the hidden meanings of this intriguing but equally esoteric film, we aim to contribute to the research on a-bomb literature adaptations and horror cinema.

Türkçe ve Japoncada Öfke Duygusunu İfade Eden Deyimler Üzerine Kavramsal Bir Sınıflandırma
Authors: ATAY Ayşegül
Published: March 2022

Yabancı dili tam öğrenmek, söz varlığını çok iyi bilmekle ilgilidir. Sözvarlığının dil yapılarından biri de deyimlerdir. İletişimde önemli değeri olan öfke duygusunu ifade eden deyimler söz varlığında oldukça fazladır. Bu araştırmada, öfke duygusunu anlatan Türkçe ve Japoncadaki deyimler incelenmiştir. Öfke, Japoncada “ikari” ile ifade edilmektedir. Bu ruh halinin dile yansıması ise her iki dilde de somut kavramlardan oluşan deyimlerle anlatılır. Örneğin çok kızıp öfkelenme durumunda, Türkçede kan beynime çıktı denirken, Japoncada atama ni kita kullanılmaktadır. Ancak, öfke duygusunu anlatan Türkçe ve Japoncada başka deyimler de bulunmaktadır. Bu deyimler hangi kavramlardan oluşmaktadır? Bu araştırmada Türkçe ve Japoncadaki öfkenin kavram alanını belirlemek amacıyla karşılaştırma yapılmıştır. Yapılan incelemede, kavram alanındaki ortak kavramların yanı sıra, farklı kavramlar tespit edilmiştir. Buradan, Japoncada karın, bağırsak, sırt, göbek, kalp, dudak, taç ve ters; Türkçede ise ağız, burun, topuk, din, bilinç dışılık, kabadayılık, sigorta ve patlayıcı madde şeklinde farklı kavramlar oluşu, iki toplum arasındaki kültürel farkın göstergesidir.
1866 Girit İsyanı ve Giritli Aileler Meselesi
Authors: PINAR Hayrettin
Published: March 2022

1866 yılında ortaya çıkan Girit İsyanı yaklaşık üç yıl boyunca Osmanlı siyaset gündeminin en sıcak başlıkları arasında yer almıştır. 1866 İsyanı sırasında 19. yüzyılda yaşanan diğer sorunlarda olduğu gibi Osmanlı yöneticileri Avrupa müdahalesi konusunda titiz davranmıştır. Avrupa’nın, Hristiyan unsur üzerinden geliştirdiği müdahale alışkanlığının tekrar etmemesine dikkat edilmiştir. Özellikle isyanın yol açtığı asayiş problemi sebebiyle adadan göç etmek zorunda kalan Rumlar, Avrupa devletlerinin her zamanki gibi ilgisine mazhar olmuştur. Gerek Bâbıâli gerek Hariciye Nezareti, Avrupa müdahalesine yol açma ihtimali bulunan bu konuya hayli hassas yaklaşmıştır. İsyan sırasında evlerini terk etmek zorunda kalan ve özellikle Yunanistan’a göç eden ailelerin adaya dönmeleri için titiz bir çaba sergilenmiştir. Böylece Osmanlı devlet adamları bir yandan devletin müşfik elini tebaasına göstermeye çalışırken aynı zamanda insanî müdahale bahanesi altında sunulacak bir Avrupa müdahalesini de engellemeye çalışacaktır.

Published: March 2022

Tarih boyunca birçok devletin egemenliği altında yaşayan Azerbaycan, bir cumhuriyet olarak ilk bağımsızlık deneyimini 1918-1920 yılları arasında yaşamıştır. Azerbaycan’ın bu bağımsızlık döneminde devletin bekası için çalışan aydınlar sınıfı içinde sosyalist bir isim olarak ön plana çıkan kişilerden biri de Aslan Bey Sefikürdski’dir. Küçük yaşta babasını kaybeden Aslan Bey, ilk eğitimini Gence’de aldıktan sonra Hukuk Fakültesi’ne devam etmiş ve ilk siyasi faaliyetlerine üniversite eğitimi sırasında başlamıştır. Aslan Bey Sefikürdski, Azerbaycan Cumhuriyeti’nin üçüncü hükümetinin Posta ve Telgraf Bakanı, dördüncü hükümetinin ise Adalet ve Emek Bakanıdır. Sefikürdski hakkında Azerbaycan’da yapılan çalışmalar onun hayatını öğrenmemiz açısından yeterli seviyede olmakla birlikte Türkiye’de Sefikürdski hakkında yapılan müstakil bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Azerbaycan siyasi tarihinde önemli bir yere sahip olan Aslan Bey Sefikürdski’nin tanıtılması ve faaliyetlerinin anlaşılmasını sağlamaktır.

Heqin politikası, Çin tarihinde yabancılarla kurulan ilişkilerde Han Hanedanı ve sonrasında önemli bir yere sahip olmuş, özellikle kuzeydeki halklar ve oluşturdukları konargöçer devletler ile yapılan sulh ve dostluk anlaşmalarında kız alıp-vererek kan bağı kurma niyetine hizmet eden bir politika haline dönüşmüştür. Bu çalışmada, “Heqin和亲” teriminin, ilk defa “akrabalık yoluyla barış” anlamıyla ortaya çıktığı Batı Han Hanedanı ile en çok Heqin anlaşmasının yapıldığı, etkisinin en yoğun hissedildiği Tang Hanedanı dönemlerindeki kullanımı, özellikleri, kapsamı, yeri, ekonomik ve kültürel etkisi incelenmiştir. Ayrıca iki hanedanın aynı politikayı farklı çıkarlara hizmet eder biçimde kullanma ihtimali üzerinde durulmuş, bu ihtimal doğrultusunda, Batı Han Hanedanı’nın Hunlar ve Wusunlarla; Tang Hanedanı’nın Gök Türkler, Tibetliler ve Uygurlarla yaptığı anlaşmalardan bazıları sebep ve sonuçları bakımından irdelenmiştir
Jeanette Winterson’un Tek Meyve Portakal Değildir adlı Romanına Althusserci Bir Yaklaşım
Authors: ÖZSEVGEÇ Yıldırım
Published: March 2022

Jeanette Winterson’un Tek Meyve Portakal Değildir (1985) adlı romanı, koyu Hristiyan bir anne tarafından evlatlık edinilen Jeanette isimli genç bir kızın hikâyesini okura sunar. Romanın ilk başlarından itibaren annesinin İncil’i istediği gibi yorumladığı ve çevresindeki insanları da dinin katı kurallarıyla şekillendirmeye çalıştığı aşikârdır. Yetim bir çocuk olan Jeanette’ten beklenen ‘misyoner’ olmasıdır. Fakat o kaderini değiştirmeye karar vererek, dinin kendisini sömürmesine karşı savaş açar. Winterson da hikâyedeki din otoritesini ve toplumsal normları reddederek, Jeanette’e daha gerçekçi ve uyumlu başka olası dünyalar sunar. Winterson’un “evlat edinilmiş çocuklar kendi kendilerini icat ederler” ifadesinden yola çıkarak bu çalışmada Jeanette’in kendini yeniden inşa etme durumu ve yaşamış olduğu kimlik bunalımı Louis Althusser’in ‘devletin ideolojik aygıtları’ kavramı ışığında incelenecektir.
Polonyalı General Taczanowski’nin Sultan Abdülaziz’e Yazdığı Tezkere

Published: March 2022

Makalemiz, Polonya’nın Ocak Ayaklanması önderlerinden General Edmund Taczanowski’nin, ileride Rusya’ya karşı savaşlarda kullanılmak üzere Bulgar-Türk birlikleri kurdurma umuduyla Osmanlı sultanına sunmaya niyetlendiği, Poznan’da Büyük Polonya Askeri Müzesi kataloglarında bulunmuş ve daha önce hiçbir yerde yayınlanmayan Fransızca bir tezkere metnini konu alıyor. Tezkere Taczanowski’nin 1863’ün Aralık ayındaki İstanbul seyahati sırasında yazılmış olsa gerektir. Bu dönem generalin memleketi olan Büyük Polonya’da, Rus ve Avusturya Panslavizmlerinin alternatifi olan “Slav paydaşlığı” (Slav mütekabiliyeti) yaklaşımlarını araştırma idealine paralel olarak, Slav coğrafyasına yönelik ilginin de hayli canlı olduğu bir dönemdir. Bu bağlamda, Taczanowski’nin düşüncesinin Polonya merkezli doğasını işaret eden tezkere, Polonyalı milliyetçilerin Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun Bulgar tebaasına salt araçsal yaklaşarak kurgulamış oldukları bir başka ulusal bağımsızlık senaryosunun daha en ilginç belgelerinden biri olmaktadır.
Üstkurmaca Olarak İlhan Tarus’un “Bir Adamın On Senelik Hayatı” Öyküsü
Authors: SAKIN Hasan
Published: March 2022

Üstkurmaca, postmodern edebiyatın ana kurgu eğilimidir. Kavramın sınırları postmodernizm bağlamında çizilmiş olsa da hem teori hem de uygulama açısından üstkurmacanın uzun bir tarihi vardır. Üstkurmaca; gerçeklik yanılsamasının yıkılması, okura seslenme, yazma sürecinin sorunlarına yönelik ilgi gibi bazı temel işaretlerle farklılaşmaktadır. Edebiyatın iç ve dış gerçekliğe yönelik ilgisinin yıkılması ve tamamen yazma sürecinin konu edilmesi üstkurmacanın ayırıcı özelliğidir. İlhan Tarus’un “Bir Adamın On Senelik Hayatı” başlıklı öyküsü de bir üstkurmaca örneğidir. Postmodernist üstkurmaca ile diğer dönemlere ait üstkurmaca arasında bazı farklılıklar vardır. Bu yazıda, öykünün üstkurmacanın hangi özelliklerini yansıttığı ve yazarın kurmaca sorunlarına getirdiği yorum üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu yorum ile yazarın genel sanat anlayışı arasındaki ilişkiler de irdelenmiştir.

Mardin Müzesi’nde yer alan pişmiş topraktan yapılmış iki adet ampulla, müzeye satın alma yoluyla kazandırılmışlardır. Oldukça küçük boyutlu olan bu ampullalar, yayınlarda Anadolu kökenli Tip 2 olarak adlandırılan grup içerisinde değerlendirilmektedir. Ampullalar, kırmızı tonlu hamur ve astar renkleri yanı sıra hamurundaki mika katkısıyla da Anadolu kökenli bir özellik göstermektedir. Her iki ampulla da kalıp yapımıdır. 1 No’lu Ampulla’da yalnızca kabartmalı bir Yunan haçı, 2 No’lu Ampulla’da ise merkezde basit işçilikli bir Yunan haçı yanı sıra etrafı yuvarlak madalyon benzeri daireler ve noktalar ile bezelidir. Tipolojik benzer örnekleri göz önünde bulundurularak, 5. yüzyıl-7. yüzyıl başları arasına tarihlenmektedir.
A Postdramatic Reading: Misogyny in Simon Stephens’s Play Three Kingdoms
Authors: ÖZATA Cüneyt
Published: March 2022

In Poetics, Aristotle explains the first known framework of dramatic theatre in history, basing it on certain principles. The restrictive structure of these principles makes playwrights apply an understanding that prioritizes performance, and seek a theatrical aesthetic shaped according to the mentality of the present. In this sense, Postdramatic Theater (2006), which Lehmann puts forward, shows the realities of postmodern society and highlights the performance text created with active participation of audience and reader. Contemporary British playwright Simon Stephens, who presents the lives of postmodern individuals in his plays, draws attention as a leading playwright of the Postdramatic theatre. Stephens’s play Three Kingdoms, which was staged in three different countries and in three different languages, stands out as it contains the postdramatic elements put forth by Lehmann. The aim of this article is to examine the play Three Kingdoms by Simon Stephens, focusing on Postdramatic theater principles determined by Lehmann.

Introduction: Paragangliomas are usually benign slow-growing tumors, but they are locally invasive and can cause significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to characterize the presenting symptoms, secretory status, genetics, imaging features, treatment modalities, post-treatment complications and survival of patients with head and neck paragangliomas treated at a single institution.Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients managed at our center between 1997 and 2020.Results: Seventy-three patients were included in the study, encompassing 89 head and neck paragangliomas. Forty-eight patients (65.8%) were female and 15 (20.5%) had multiple tumor sites (including 10 patients with multicentric benign paragangliomas and five with disseminated malignant disease). Regarding location, our series encompassed 40 temporal bone paragangliomas (44.9%), 24 carotid body paragangliomas (27%), 22 vagal paragangliomas (24.7%), two laryngeal paragangliomas (2.2%) and one sinonasal paraganglioma (1.1%). Excessive catecholamine secretion was detected in 11 patients (15.1%). Sixty-four patients (87.7%) underwent genetic testing. Of those, 24 (37.5%) exhibited pathogenic succinate dehydrogenase complex germline mutations. Regarding patients who presented with untreated disease, 45 patients (66.2%), encompassing 55 tumors, underwent surgery as primary treatment modality, 20 (29.4%; 23 tumors) were initially treated with radiotherapy and three patients (4.4%, encompassing three solitary tumors) were kept solely under watchful waiting. Five-year overall survival was 94.9% and disease-free survival was 31.9%.Conclusion: Head and neck paragangliomas are rare, slow-growing but locally aggressive tumors resulting in high morbidity but low mortality rates.

Published: March 2022

Objective: Currently the Covid-19 pandemic is studied with great expectations by several epidemiological models with the aim of predicting the future behaviour of the pandemic. Determining the level of disorder in the pandemic can give us insight into the societal reactions to the pandemic the socio-economic structures and health systems in different countries. Methods: We perform a statistical analysis of Covid-19 pandemic using an entropy measure. For this, the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon (BGS) entropy method is applied to the daily case data and the predictability in the covid-19 pandemic is discussed based on its entropic behaviour. The BGS entropy of the time evolution of daily cases in weekly groups from the beginning of the pandemic to 29 August 2021 in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, Turkey, Russia and Iran are calculated and the given countries are classified by the predictability of the spread of the pandemic. Results: There is a clear difference in the predictability of the pandemic between the European countries and Turkey, Russia, and Iran. It is also observed that the vaccination programs and the Covid-19 variants of concerns; 20I/501Y.V1, 20H/501.V2, 21A/S:478K and 20J/501Y.V3 have effected the predictability of the pandemic in given countries are observed. Conclusion: The BGS entropy-based approach to determine the disorder in the time evolution of daily cases of the Covid-19 pandemic is effective and the results can be beneficial for comparison of the country classifications generated by the epidemiological models of this pandemic system.
