Kur’an’da “Tâgût” Kavramına Farklı Bir Bakış
Authors: Ethem Mürsel , Demir Sabri
Published: April 2024

Bütün semavi kitaplar gibi Kur’an’ın Kerim’in de indirildiği zamandan itibaren nazil olma maksadı merak edilmiş, murad-ı ilahinin ne olduğu sorgulanmıştır. Bu husustaki sorulara cevabın muhatabı, dolaylı da olsa, Kur’an’ın bizatihi kendisi olmuştur. Kur’an’ın indirilişindeki ilahi muradı merak edenler; onu Arap dili ve edebiyatı kurallarına dayanarak ve dikkatle anlayarak okuduklarında, merak ettikleri soruların cevaplarını yine Kur’an’da bulabileceklerdir. Çünkü Kur’an bir nur olarak; iç ve dışımızdaki görülen görülmeyen, bilinen ve bilinmeyen âlemlerinin cümlesini teşbihi bir yolla aydınlatmaktadır. Kur’an bu vasfıyla ilk ‘kün’ emrinden itibaren, bütün âlemlere ve zamanlara, taşıdığı mesajlarla bir rahmet ve hidayet kaynağı olmuştur. Kur’an bu hidayetini inananları müjdeleme, inanmayanları ise uyarma usulüyle sunmaktadır. Kur’an bu müjdeleme ve uyarma ile ilgili hususların keyfiyet ve sebeplerini, ayet ayet birçok olgu ve kıssalarda, Kur’anî bir bağlamla, Arapça dilbilimsel kavram ve ifadelerle ortaya koymaktadır. Kur’an dikkatle okunup incelendiğinde, söz konusu dilbilimsel kavram ve ifadelerinin önemli bir kısmının “طاغوت /Tâgût” kavramı ve Tâgût’a yönelik açıklamalarıyla müşahhas oldukları görülmektedir. Kur’an’ın beyanı-na göre; bütün peygamberlerin Tâgût’a karşı gönderildikleri ve ona karşı mücadele verdiklerini görmek-teyiz. Ayetlerde dile getirilen Tâgût’un hayatî vasıf ve fonksiyonları topyekûn değerlendirildiğinde; sadece bir şahıs, nesne veya varlık olmadığı anlaşılmakla birlikte, onun Allah (c.c.)’ün mutlak varlığındaki mutlak yokluk, esmâ-i hüsnânın karşıtı bir zıtlık olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu araştırmada; muhkem ve özellikle uyarıcı ayetlerde geçen, tekfir ve içtinap edilmesi istenilen Tâgût kavramı üzerinde duruldu. Bu çalışmada Tâgût’un Kur’an’da tarif edilen vasfı, fonksiyonu ve anlamıyla, geçmiş literatür ve çağımızdaki akademik alan ve günlük hayatta ona atfedilen veya yüklenilen vasıf, fonksiyon ve anlamları karşılaştırılarak Kur’an eksenli tahlil edildi. Elde edilen verilere göre sözlükler, Tâgût kelimesinin kök anlamı hakkında bilgi vermede değerli olmakla birlikte, Kur’an’ın tanımladığı semantik anlamla örtüşmekte yeterli kalmamaktadır. Nitekim sözlüklerde Tâgût kelimesine verilen anlamlar, ilgili dönemlerde yaşanılan belirli örneklerin öte-sine geçememekte ve sahip olduğu asıl anlam dile getirilememektedir. Bu çalışmanın devamında Kur’an sözlükleri, tefsir külliyatı ve rivayetlerden hareketle Tâgût kavramı üzerinde araştırma yapanların vardıkları sonuçları ana başlıklar halinde analiz edilip yorumlandı. Bu kategorideki eserlerde görülen; Kur’an’da tanımlanan Tâgût’un kendisi değil, onun türevleridir. Bu araştırmamızın neticesinde, belli tarihi süreçler içerisinde yapılan çalışmalarda elde edilen sonuçlar tarafımızca doğru kabul edilmekle birlikte, Tâgût’un beşerî hayatta zuhur eden türevlerine atfen ona verilen anlamlarla, Kur’an’ın beyan ettiği anlamın bütünleşmediği, kifayetsiz kaldığı ortaya konuldu.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, OECD ülkelerinde hane halkı bilgi iletişim teknolojileri (BİT) erişimi ve kullanımının ekonomik büyümeye etkisi arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. 35 adet OECD ülkesi için 2022 yılını kapsayan veri seti oluşturulan modele göre, bağımlı değişkin olan GSYH ile bağımsız değişkenler olan hane halkı internet kullanımı, sabit telefon hattı sayısı ve mobil telefon hattı sayısı değişkenleri arasındaki ilişki yatay kesit analizi ile incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre sabit telefon aboneliklerindeki artışın ekonomik büyüme ile ilişkisi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı görülmezken, mobil telefon üzerinden internet kullanımı ve aboneliklerin artışı arasında pozitif anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Hanehalkı internet kullanımındaki artışların, diğer bağımsız değişkenlere göre ekonomik büyüme ile çok daha büyük bir ilişkiye sahip olduğu ve ekonomik büyüme üzerinde güçlü bir etkisi olduğu görülmüştür.
İşveren Markalamanın Kurumsal İletişim Açısından Değerlendirilmesi: Gelecek Çalışmalar İçin Bir Atıf Analizi
Authors: Ünal Celil
Published: April 2024

İngilizce karşılığı “employer branding” olan işveren markalaması kavramı, en basit tanımıyla, bir işletmenin mevcut çalışanlarını işletmede tutmak ve potansiyel çalışanları işletmeye çekmek üzere gerçekleştirdiği işletme imajına yönelik çalışmaları tarif etmektedir. İşveren markalamasına yönelik ilk çalışma 2004 yılında Backhaus ve Tikoo tarafından ortaya konulmuştur. Backaus ve Tikoo, pazarlama ve insan kaynakları yönetimi arasında bir ilişki kurulabileceğini öngörerek, şirketlerin mevcut ve potansiyel işgücünü bir işveren olarak nasıl cezbedebileceğini işveren markalaması kavramsallaştırması ile izah etmeye çalışmışlardır. Zaman içerisinde ilgili kavram akademik çevrelerce teveccühe mazhar olmuş ve ilgili kavrama yönelik birçok çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Scopus veri tabanı üzerinden gerçekleştirdiğimiz araştırmaya göre bu çalışmaların üçte ikiden fazlası (n=484) işletme, yönetim ve muhasebe alanlarında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Oysa işveren markalaması işletme ve yönetim bilimleri kadar iletişim bilimleri açısından da önem teşkil etmektedir. Fakat iletişim bilimleri alanında işveren markalaması kavramsallaştırmasının yeterince ilgiye mazhar olduğunu söylemek mümkün değildir. İşveren markalamasına yönelik sadece 115 çalışma, iletişim bilimleri ile kavramın ilişkisini dolaylı olarak kurmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışma, işveren markalaması kavramsallaştırması ile iletişim bilimlerinin ilgisini kurmaya çalışmakta; gelecekte yapılması muhtemel çalışmalar açısından bir atıf haritası sunmaya çaba sarf etmektedir. İleri sürülen bu amaç doğrultusunda Vosviewer programı kullanılarak, Scopus veri tabanı üzerinden bir atıf analizi gerçekleştirilmiş olup, 2004 – 2024 yılları arasında yayınlanmış toplam 652 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Yayınların yıllara göre dağılımına bakıldığında, yayınların 2020 (n=74), 2021 (n=71), 2022 (n=76) ve 2023 (n=98) yıllarında yoğunlaştığı görülmektedir. En fazla yayın ise makale (n=457) türünde üretilmiştir. Konuya ilişkin en fazla atıf alan yazarlar sırasıyla; Backhaus & Tikoo (n=591), Berthon, Ewing & Hah (n=481) ve Edwards (n=248)’tır. Yapılan çalışmaların yazım dili büyük ölçüde İngilizce (n=619) olup, İspanyolca (n=12), Almanca (n=11), Fransızca (n=4), Çince (n=3) gibi dillerde de çalışmaların olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. İşveren markalamasına ilişkin yayınlarda en fazla kullanılan işveren markalaması (n=379) kavramının yanında işveren markası (n=45), istihdam (n=44) ve işveren çekiciliği (n=42) kavramlarının kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Kavrama ilişkin en fazla çalışmanın yapıldığı ülkeler ise sırasıyla; Hindistan (n=129), Almanya (n=69) ve İngiltere (n=58)’dir.
Upotreba istorije, poricanje zločina i koncept nekažnjivosti u Republici Srpskoj (1992–2022)
Authors: Manojlović Pintar Olga
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes how Republika Srpska publicly articulated its stance regarding the July 1992 massacre in Srebrenica, which the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia both classified as genocide. It assesses how this Bosnian entity grapples with and communicates its response to this internationally recognized atrocity within the public domain. The conflicting conclusions of three reports on Srebrenica—issued by the Bureau of the RS Government for Relations with the Hague Tribunal of the Government of Republika Srpska (2002), the Commission for the Investigation of Events in and around Srebrenica from July 10 to 19, 1995 (2004), and the Independent International Commission for Research on the Suffering of All Peoples in the Srebrenica Region in the Period 1992–1995 (2021) — illustrate the ongoing initiatives of local communities to memorialize the 1992–1995 war and reflect shifts in official political discourse.
Ratnik, obaveštajac, političar: prilozi za biografiju pukovnika Tanasija Dinića do 1941. godine
Authors: Ristanović Rade , Žikić Miloš
Published: April 2024

Colonel Tanasije Dinić’s personality and contributions are principally associated with the era of the Second World War, during which he held a prominent role as a collaborator and served as one of Milan Nedić’s ministers. This article seeks to undertake a historiographical reconstruction of Colonel Dinić’s activities within the borders of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia leading up to the onset of the Second World War. The authors underscore three distinctive phases in Colonel Dinić’s life. The initial section of the study meticulously examines his wartime experiences, commencing from his enrollment in the Military Academy’s Lower School and extending to the early years subsequent to the establishment of the SHS Kingdom. The subsequent section of the article delves into Colonel Dinić’s significant contributions to the establishment, expansion, and management of an intelligence network with a specific focus on Albania and Bulgaria. The third section of the article extensively addresses Colonel Tanasije Dinić’s tenure as a member of the Yugoslav Radical Community (JRZ) and the National Assembly. The scholarly foundation of this section rests upon pertinent literature and archival sources, which have been systematically employed to craft the narrative presented in the paper.
Zločini Prve kozačke divizije u NDH 1943. godine: perspektiva žrtava, hrvatskih vojnih i civilnih vlasti
Authors: Stojanović Aleksandar
Published: April 2024

During the Second World War, several Cossack units served in the German armed forces, and their movements and combat operations were already the subject of scholarly research and popular historiography. Contrasting the majority of published works, based on German military sources and focused on deployment and anti-partisan combat activities, this paper aims to analyze and showcase the First Cossack Cavalry Division on the territory of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) from a perspective of civilian victims and Croatian authorities. Such perspective portrays the Cossacks as uncompromising and exceptionally efficient fighters against communism and resistance, but also as undisciplined villains, leaving the trail of crimes, robbery, rape, molest and murder of civilians. The paper is mostly based on unpublished historical sources from the Archives of Yugoslavia and the Military Archives in Belgrade.
Community notes reduce the spread of misleading posts on X
Authors: Chuai Yuwei , Pilarski Moritz , Lenzini Gabriele , Pröllochs Nicolas
Published: April 2024

Community-based fact-checking is a promising approach to verify social media content and correct misleading posts at scale. Yet, causal evidence regarding its effectiveness in reducing the spread of misinformation on social media is missing. Here, we performed a large-scale empirical study to analyze whether community notes reduce the spread of misleading posts on X. Using a Difference-in-Differences design and repost time series data for N=31,758 (community fact-checked) cascades that had been reposted more than 68 million times, we found that exposing users to community notes reduced the spread of misleading posts by, on average, 61.4%. However, our findings also suggest that community notes might be too slow to intervene in the early (and most viral) stage of the diffusion. Our work offers important implications to enhance the effectiveness of community-based fact-checking approaches on social media.
Adaptive Testing for Multiple-Choice, Multiple-Attempt Test Items
Authors: Lu Yikai , Cheng Alison
Published: April 2024

This study explores the integration of multiple-choice, multiple-attempt test items within the Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) framework, termed as MM-CAT. A simulation study was conducted to investigate the effects of integrating multiple attempts on items in the CAT environment. The findings from this study are twofold. First, we observed that the allowance of multiple attempts on test items significantly enhances the accuracy of $\theta$ estimates within fixed-length CAT settings. Second, our results indicate a noticeable reduction in the necessary test length for variable-length CAT when multiple attempts are permitted. From these results, given the same item bank size, MM-CAT outperforms the traditional CAT which uses the correct/incorrect scoring.
F0 and voice quality of coarticulated Mandarin tones
Authors: Huang Yaqian
Published: April 2024

Tonal coarticulation occurs when adjacent tones affect the production of each other, and this often induces changes in both F0 and voice quality of the tones. In Mandarin, F0 height of the target tone is affected by adjacent tones through both carryover assimilation and anticipatory dissimilation (Xu, 1997). Additionally, voice quality is found to be largely dependent on F0, such that lower F0 induces creakier quality, regardless of tone (Kuang, 2017). Given this dependency of voice quality on F0, it is unclear how this interaction manifests in the context of coarticulated tones. The present study investigates the relationship between F0 and voice quality changes in coarticulated tones in three-tone sequences. Voice quality is assessed both acoustically and articulatorily using electroglottography (EGG). Our study confirms both carryover and anticipatory effects on F0. Changes in voice quality are largely expected from the direction of F0 changes. However, some tone-specific exceptions are present, which we interpret as support for the (potential) independence of voice quality from F0.
Proof of the 3D Navier-Stokes equation's global existence and smoothness of solutions – Applying a new analytical approach with certain boundary conditions
Authors: Zhou Xinyi
Published: April 2024

The Navier-Stokes equations are mainly useful for describing the relationship between velocity, pressure and density of moving fluid. In the beginning of the 19th century, these partial differential equations for modeling fluid dynamics are discovered independently from each other by French and Irish physicists Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes. The main focus of this research paper is to discover if and under which circumstances globally defined and smooth solutions to the 3-dimensional Navier-Stokes PDEs could exist. By using an entire and exclusive analytical approach, it could be shown that under certain predefined boundary conditions and given any initial conditions, there exist solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations which are indeed globally defined and smooth.
Development of a parental based screening tool of social cognition in children and adolescents
Authors: Quesque François , Hennion Sophie , Dellacherie Delphine
Published: April 2024

Social-cognitive abilities are often affected in developmental, neurological, and psychiatric disorders. However, current assessment tools tend to focus on specific processes and don't fully capture the diversity of this domain, leaving a gap in understanding the developmental links between its sub-components. In this study, we developed a parental questionnaire to evaluate social cognition of children and teenagers aged 3 to 17, drawing on real-life behaviours. Exploratory factor analyses of the 995 responses we collected support a four-factor structure encompassing mentalizing, emotion, social motivation, and prosociality. The psychometric properties of the questionnaire suggest that it provides a detailed assessment of social cognition across a range of ages. If implemented for screening in clinical settings, this tool could significantly reduce diagnostic delays and help guide neuropsychological assessments.
Effects of Advisor Accuracy on the Utilization of Algorithmic and Human Advice
Authors: Möller Malte , Mayr Susanne
Published: April 2024

While algorithmic decision making is frequently superior to human judgement, it has been repeatedly found that experiencing imperfect forecasts goes along with a decreased willingness to entrust decisions to an algorithm, constituting the so-called algorithm aversion (Dietvorst et al., 2015). In two experiments, it was investigated whether perceiving an algorithmic advisor as imperfect is sufficient for algorithm aversion to occur. All studies systematically varied the advisor (algorithm or human) in a within-subjects Judge-Advisor System paradigm (e.g., Logg et al., 2019). In Experiment 1, information about the advisor accuracy (low, high or no information available) was systematically manipulated within participants, while Experiment 2 demonstrated the performance of an algorithmic or human advisor of identical, but non-perfect accuracy prior to the task. Results of both experiments showed that participants adhered more strongly to advice given by an algorithmic as compared with a human advisor and were more willing to incorporate advice from highly as compared with less accurate advisors. Importantly, there was no indication of algorithm aversion in any of the results, strongly suggesting that imperfect algorithmic forecasting is not the sole determinant of algorithm aversion.
Bronze age paleosols in the steppe area of the southern Cis-Urals in solving the problems of paleopedology and archaeology (a case-study of the Tashla IV site in the Orenburg region)

The aim of the study. To study the Bronze Age paleosols (Yamnaya and Srubnaya cultures), perform paleoclimatic reconstructions and comparison with previously studied synchronous paleosols in the Cis-Urals steppe. Location and time of the study. The studied site is located in the Orenburg region in the steppe area of the Southern Cis-Urals. In July 2019 and 2021 together with researchers from the archaeological laboratory of the Orenburg Pedagogical University, rescue excavations were carried out at the Tashla IV kurgan cemetery, located near the Tashla village. Kurgans 1 (Yamnaya culture) and 2 (Srubnaya culture) were studied. Methods. A comprehensive morphogenetic analysis of the soils buried beneath the kurgans and surface soils of the studied site was carried out; the soils were described in detail and classified in the field. Soil samples were analyzed for particle size distribution, loss of ignition, pH of the water extraction, content of organic and carbonate carbon, exchangeable bases and magnetic susceptibility. To carry out the paleoclimatic reconstructions, the chronosequence and comparative geographic methods were used. Results. It was established that the studied soils were buried under the kurgans at the beginning of the development of both cultures, when the stages of climatic aridization were close to their ending or ended in the first half of the 4th millennium BC (Yamnaya culture) and at the turn of the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC (Srubnaya culture). The climatic aridization during the Early stage of the Srubnaya culture was more significant than in the Early (Repinsky) stage of the Yamnaya culture, and this conclusion was made for the first time for the studied region. Conclusions. The studied soils properties could be grouped according to the characteristic times of their response to changes in external conditions: magnetic susceptibility, associated with microbiological activity, refers to rapidly changing properties, i.e. in the first decades, whereas changes in other studied properties require from several decades to hundreds of years. Comparison of the Srubnaya paleosol buried under kurgan 2 in the studied site with other soils of the same culture in the region made it possible to place it more accurately on the time scale, attributing to the very beginning of the 18th century BC, and additionally to characterize in detail the climate change within the time span of the Srubnaya culture of the Cis-Urals steppe.

Experimental Study on USBR Type Stilling Basin Design
Authors: Khadka Dak
Published: April 2024

Energy of water is to be dissipated forming hydraulic jump. The strength of jump depends on initial Froude number. The length of jump depends on the alternate depths. . This study is purposed to examine the effect of upstream face slope of weir in three models at vertical faced ogee shape weir, 60 degree slope ogee shape and 45 degree slope ogee shape weir in the case of jump formation at downstream side. The experiments were conducted in three discharge variations of magnitude 100 cm3/sec, 150cm3/sec and 200cm3/sec. The depths and velocity at upstream, at crest, at toe and at tail location were measured and analyzed. From the comparative study the water rise in upstream was more in vertical faced weir than in others. The variation in velocity, Froude number found increased with the increase in discharge in all cases. The hydraulic jump length and loss in energy were changed with the change in discharge. The most effective length of stilling basin was found in case of vertical faced weir on the basis of jump length whereas from the energy dissipation point of view the maximum energy was dissipated in 60 degree slope face weir but the length of jump was greater in this weir. The coefficient of discharge variations were observed for all models and found in the range of 1.5 to 1.8 which is very close to the textbook value that showed the robustness of the experiments conducted.

Authors: Jitendra Kumar Singh  , Dipendra Kumar Yadav  , Niranjan Shrestha  , Prakash Sharma  , Saroj Yadav  , Subodh Sharma  , Rajesh Kumar Yadav
Published: April 2024

Background & Objectives: High-quality antenatal care (ANC) plays a vital role in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality rates and enhancing health results, especially in low-income nations. Although various factors play a role in adverse birth outcomes, antenatal care (ANC) emerges as a crucial preventive measure. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate factors that influence participation in antenatal care services and their association with adverse birth outcomes in Madhesh Province of Nepal.
Materials and Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers who delivered their baby at health care facilities of Madhesh Pradesh from July 2020 to January 2021. A total of 104 participants selected for the study. Structured questionnaire was used and face to face interview was carried out to obtain information from participants. SPSS software was used for the data analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. A p value of less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant.   
Results: Among 104 mother, 11 had an adverse birth outcome. Majority of pregnancy related characteristics and antenatal care during pregnancy were significantly associated with adverse birth outcomes. In terms of socioeconomic status, education (p=0.021) and occupation (p<0.0001) showed the significant association with adverse outcome in bivariate analysis. However, in multivariate analysis socio demographic factors such as mothers’ occupation (p=0.004) and antenatal care practice such as rest during pregnancy (p=0.023) remained statistically significant.   
Conclusion: Finding suggests that mothers’ occupation and rest during pregnancy were associated with adverse birth outcomes. Therefore, raising awareness through prenatal care educational programs may reduce the likelihood of adverse delivery outcomes.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Purpose: The main pathology of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is the disruption of blood flow of the femoral head resulting ischemic necrosis which leads hip joint incongruency. The most frequent methods in the treatment are the methods improving the containment of the femoral head. Our study aimed to investigate the mid-long-term outcomes of LCPD patients treated with the BEST method, which aims to improve congruency and containment simultaneously.
Materials and methods: LCPD patients who were treated with (B)leeding the epiphysis by drilling, (E)vacuation of the joint synovitis, contained with (S)alter’s Osteotomy, and distracted with skin (T)raction investigated retrospectively. Only patients who reached skeletal maturity were included in the study. Patients’ final radiographs were classified according to the Stulberg classification, Mose classification, and Tönnis osteoarthritis classification.
Results: The mean follow-up of the patients was 10.44±1.35 (8.5-13) years, and the mean age at the last follow-up was 17.71±1.73 (15.25-20.83) years. According to the Stulberg classification, 11 (45.8%) of the patients had a Class-I hip; 6 (25%) a Class-II hips; 3 (12.5%) a class-III hips, 4 (16.7%) a class-IV hips. According to the Mose classification, 12 (50%) of the patients had good results; 5 (20.8%) had fair results; 7 (29.1%) had poor results.
Conclusion: In conclusion BEST treatment method for LCPD is a combined procedure which addresses to all pathologies of disease at the same time. This combined treatment protocol may be preferred for severely affected LCPD cases who with subluxation especially in higher lateral pillar class that are prone to nonspherical incongruency.
Modeling and Numerical Analysis of the Cholesteric Landau-de Gennes Model
Authors:   , Hicks Andrew
Published: April 2024

This thesis gives an analysis of modeling and numerical issues in the Landau-de Gennes (LdG) model of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) with cholesteric effects. We derive various time-step restrictions for a (weighted) $L^2$ gradient flow scheme to be energy decreasing. Furthermore, we prove a mesh size restriction, for finite element discretizations, that is critical to avoid spurious numerical artifacts in discrete minimizers that is not well-known in the LC literature, particularly when simulating cholesteric LCs that exhibit ``twist''. Furthermore, we perform a computational exploration of the model and present several numerical simulations in 3-D, on both slab geometries and spherical shells, using a fully-implicit gradient flow scheme applied to a finite element discretization of the model. The simulations are consistent with experiments, illustrate the richness of the cholesteric model, and demonstrate the importance of the mesh size restriction

Bu nedenle bu çalışmada “kâğıtta hacimlilik” kavramı incelenmesi ve açıklanması gereken bir konu olarak seçilmiş ve bu kavramın basılabilirlik ve baskı kalitesine etkisi; birkaç yerli ve çok sayıda yabancı kaynak irdelenerek değerlendirilmiştir. Kağıttaki “Hacimlilik” kavramının görsel olarak daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için de aynı gramajda farklı hacimlilikteki iki farklı tipte kâğıda ait baskılı-baskısız yüzey ve arayüzey mikroskobik görüntüleri çekilmiştir. Hacimlilik, basılabilirliğe etki eden faktörlerden biri olduğu için çalışmada ayrıca numunelerin kâğıt mürekkep arayüzey görüntülerindeki mürekkep-kâğıt ilişkisi de verilmiştir.
Serigrafi Baskı Temel Terimlerinin Tanımlanması
Authors: Sesli Yasemin
Published: April 2024

Gerek dünyada gerek ülkemizde “Serigrafi Baskı ve Kavramları” konusunda bir dil birliği bulunmamaktadır. Serigrafi Baskı; Almanca’da “siebdruck, serigraphie, rasterdruck, schablonendruck”, İngilizce’de “screen print, serigraphy, screen process, silk-screen printing” ve Fransızca’da “impression en sérigraphie, impression sérigraphique, sérigraphie” isimleriyle anılmaktadır. Görüldüğü gibi Dünya’da en yaygın kullanılan dillerde de birkaç farklı isimle anılmaktadır. Ülkemizde ise serigrafi baskı; Serigraf Baskı, Şablon Baskı, İpek Baskı, Direkt Baskı ve Elek Baskı isimleri ile anılmaktadır. “Serigrafi Baskı” anahtar kelimesi ile Tuba Bilim Terimleri Sözlüğü, Google Akademik ve Dergipark Sisteminde yapılan taramalarda serigrafi baskı temel kavramlarını açıklayan herhangi bir yayına rastlanmamıştır. Ayrıca TÜBA Bilim Terimleri Sözlüğünde; “Serigrafi Baskı” anahtar kelimesi ile yapılan aramada aşağıdaki hatalı ve anlaşılmayan iki tanım çıkmaktadır. Elek baskı: Özgün baskıda desenin bir çerçeveye gerili ipek ya da ince bir dokuma üstüne zamk ya da şablon kullanılarak maskeleme yöntemiyle belirlendiği bir şablon baskı tekniği. Elek baskı: İstenen bezeme açıklığına sahip bir eleğin üstüne boyanın ya da çamurun uygulanmasıyla bezemenin seramik, cam, sır, emaye ve benzeri ürün yüzeyine yansıtıldığı teknik; eşanlam: serigrafi, şablon baskı, film baskıdır. Yanlış tanımlanmasının yanı sıra serigrafi baskı yöntemine ait temel terimlerinde Türkçe açıklamasını yapan bir kaynak bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada serigrafi baskının Türkçe tanımının yapılması, akademik ve ticari faaliyetlerde kullanılan temel serigrafi baskı terimlerinin İngilizce karşılıkları, Türkçe kullanım önerisi ve açıklanmasının yapılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu konuda başlangıç olan bu çalışma temel alınarak gelecekte Türkçe güncel ve standart bir serigrafisi baskı terminoloji oluşturulabilir.
Huzur Kavramının Türkçe Bilim Kaynaklarındaki Konumu
Authors: Ergül Güvendi Nurgül
Published: April 2024

İnsan eylemleri, düşünce tarihinin önemli konularından biridir. Yaşamın anlamı, amacı gibi meselelerde, insan eylemlerinin temel dayanağı olan mutluluk ve iç huzur gibi olumlu duygular önemli bir yer tutar. Mutlu bir yaşamın temel koşulu iç huzurdur ve bu, felsefe, psikoloji, sosyoloji gibi disiplinlerin ortak noktalarından biridir. İnsan eylemlerinin nedenleri konusu mutluluk ve iç huzur olgusuyla kesişmektedir. Kavramlar ve kavramlara yüklenen anlamlar, iletişim bilimleri ve kişiler arası iletişimin de temel noktalarından biridir. Literatürde huzur olgusuyla ilgili birçok araştırma bulunmasına rağmen, bu araştırmaların kültürel ve toplumsal bağlamlarda geniş bir perspektifle ele alındığı çalışmalar oldukça kısıtlıdır. Bu nedenle, huzur kavramının bilimsel araştırmalara konu edildiği çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Araştırma verileri YÖKTEZ veri tabanından elde edilmiş olup doküman analizi ile tematik analiz yöntemleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Ulaşılan sonuçlar, edebi eserlerin duygulara verilen anlam ve toplumsal açıdan kavram anlam ilişkilerinin kurulması üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Huzur kavramı, Türk literatüründe Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’ın "Huzur" adlı eserinden geçmektedir ve bu durum, Türk kültüründe kavramlara atfedilen anlamlarda edebi eserlerin etkisini açıkça göstermektedir. Ayrıca bulgularımız bir kavramın kültürel konumunun anlaşılması için edebi eserlerin ve şahsiyetlerin önemine dikkat çekmektedir.
«Ancient Kyivan Legends» by Natalena Koroleva: renewal of the genre
Authors: Vasylenko Vadym
Published: April 2024

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the collection (two volumes) Ancient Kyivan Legends by Natalena Koroleva as an individual author’s vision of ancient Ukrainian history, the problems of its genre specificity, probable historical and literary sourceography, the nature of artistic imagery. In particular, plot echoes of some Koroleva’s legends of the Scythian cycle with ancient Greek and Slavic myths and Herodotus stories, the Kyevan cycle with ancient Ukrainian chronicles, primary with the stories of Tale of Bygone Years, and The Kyiv-Pechersk Patericon, as well as with the Scandinavian epos, displayed in the Poetic Edda. It is noted the author modernized the legend genre traditional in Ukrainian literature, in particular through the synthesis of mythological, historical and apocryphal elements, the combination of literary and folklore means, appeal to the principles of historicism and psychologism, as well as displacement of time and space, intertextual constructions, reminiscences etc. It is argued the way of artistic representation chosen by the writer, the style and language of her works most correspond to their material, its spirit and essence. Reconstructing plots taking from the Scythian, Kyiv Rus’ times, Koroleva systematically and on high ideological and artistic registers fills in the gaps in the cultural history of Ukraine, in particular, she tries to renew those links in historical memory that are necessary for understanding the continuity of the development of the Ukrainian nation. Among other things, the Scythian motives of Koroleva’s legends are analyzed, in particular, author’s interpretation of the story of Herodotus about the origin of the Scythians (about Heracles and Melusine), as well as her rethinking of the legend about the founders of Kyiv (three brothers Kyi, Shchek, Khoryv and their sister Lybid).

Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch) is a food rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, minerals, carbohydrates, and flavonoid compounds. Flavonoids have several pharmacological activities, including as antioxidants to ward off free radicals. This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of pumpkin fruit. The extraction of pumpkin fruit was done by the maceration method in a 70% ethanol solvent. The total flavonoid test used the colorimetric method with a 10% AlCl3 reagent and quercetin as a positive control. Antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. The results obtained for the total flavonoid content of the ethanol extract of pumpkin fruit amounted to 1.741 mgQE/g ± 0.2438 and an IC50 value of 379.44 ppm, including the category of weak antioxidant, compared with the positive control.

Published: April 2024

This research examines the use of agricultural technology by millennial farmers in South Sulawesi Province by applying the Density-Based Spatial Clustering Algorithm with Noise (DBSCAN) to the agricultural census data of South Sulawesi Province Phase 1 in 2023. The secondary data used includes the number of millennial farmers aged 19-39 who use or do not use digital technology, divided by district/city and gender. The analysis process begins with preprocessing to prepare the data, followed by clustering using the DBSCAN algorithm, determining the optimal values for the Eps and minPts parameters, and evaluating the quality of the formed clusters using the silhouette coefficient and elbow method. The results of the study indicate that the combination of Eps value of 1.000 and minPts value of 7 produces optimal clustering with 2 clusters formed and 92 data points clustered, while 4 other data points are considered as noise. Evaluation using the silhouette coefficient and elbow method also indicates that the optimal data grouping is k=2.
Niekonstytucyjne ograniczenie wolności działalności gospodarczej podczas epidemii COVID-19
Authors: Atłaska Julia
Published: April 2024

Stan epidemii wymusza wprowadzenie pewnych ograniczeń, mających na celu zmniejszenie rozprzestrzeniania się choroby. W Polsce w trakcie stanu epidemii COVID-19 nałożono pewne ograniczenia, które miały takowy cel. Ograniczono między innymi wolność działalności gospodarczej, która jest prawem zagwarantowanym konstytucyjnie. Przy analizie wprowadzenia tegoż ograniczenia istotny jest art. 22 i art. 31 ust. 3 Konstytucji RP. Stanowią one, że ograniczenie wolności działalności gospodarczej jest dopuszczalne tylko w drodze ustawy i tylko ze względu na ważny interes publiczny. Nie mogą również naruszać istoty wolności oraz praw. Należy zatem przeanalizować akt prawny, którym dokonano ingerencji w wolność działalności gospodarczej w czasie epidemii COVID-19 oraz pojęcie ważnego interesu publicznego. Legalność tego ograniczenia jest istotnym  tematem, ponieważ sposób, w jaki zostało to wykonane, narusza istotę prawa.
Realizacja zasad wyborczych podczas wyborów parlamentarnych i referendum ogólnokrajowego w Polsce z 15 października 2023 r.
Authors: Kurkowski Krystian
Published: April 2024

Dnia 15 października 2023 r. odbyły się w Polsce wybory parlamentarne, które połączono z głosowaniem w referendum ogólnokrajowym. Niniejsze przedsięwzięcie wzbudziło liczne głosy krytyczne, które odnosiły się do naruszenia zasad wyborczych unormowanych w ustawie zasadniczej. Celem artykułu  jest przeanalizowanie, czy ostatnie wybory połączone z głosowaniem w referendum ogólnokrajowym realizowały zasady wyborcze przewidziane przez prawo, a konkretnie akt prawny o najwyższej mocy prawnej – Konstytucji RP. Przeprowadzona analiza prowadzi do wniosku, iż wybory parlamentarne, które zostały przeprowadzone łącznie z referendum ogólnokrajowym, nie spełniły w pełni zasad wyborczych uregulowanych w ustawie zasadniczej. Mianowicie doszło do naruszenia zasady równości w jej aspekcie materialnym. Egzemplifikację tego stanowi dysproporcja w zakresie liczby wybieganych deputowanych w stosunku do liczny osób uprawnionych do głosowania. Ponadto wybory nie były równe z zakresie, w jakim zasada ta odnosi się do równości szans podczas prowadzenia kampanii wyborczej. Ostatnie wybory nie urzeczywistniały także w pełni zasady tajności. Odmowa pobrania karty referendalnej wyraźnie stawiała wyborcę po jednej ze stron sceny politycznej.
