Balkanları İnşa Etmek: Popüler Kültür ve Balkanlaşma Söyleminin Duygu Politikası
Authors: KAHRAMAN Orhun Kaan
Published: August 2022

Teknolojinin çok hızlı geliştiği ve dijitalleşmenin yaşamın hemen hemen her alanına yayıldığı günümüzde, uluslararası ilişkiler disiplininde görsel üretimler giderek önemli bir araştırma konusu haline gelmiştir. Görsel popüler kültür ürünleri de kolaylıkla bu şekilde değerlendirilebilir. Devletler uluslararası politikadaki söylemlerini günümüzde popüler kültür aracılığıyla sürekli yeniden üretmekte ve terörizm, ırk, cinsiyet gibi çeşitli kimlik temsillerinin anlamlarını sabitlemektedir. Bu sebeple popüler kültür de siyasi söylem üreten bir araç olarak incelenmeli ve iktidarın inşa ettiği hakikat incelenmelidir. Bu makalede popüler kültürün tek başına politika üreten bir iktidar aracı olduğu Maria Todorova’nın ortaya attığı Balkanlaşma kavramıyla birlikte Balkan coğrafyası ve Balkanlı kimliği üzerinde incelenecektir. Popüler kültür burada balkanlaştırılmış Balkanları üretirken duyguları oldukça politik olarak kullanır. Duygular balkanlaşma söylemiyle birlikte Balkan kimliğini bir öteki olarak üretir. Bu sebeple bu makalede yirminci yüzyılda ortaya konulmuş popüler kültür eserleri dönemsel olarak analiz edilecek, Balkanlı kimliğinin balkanlaşma söylemiyle “korkulan” ve daha sonra “utanılan” bir beden olarak nasıl inşa edildiği gösterilecektir.

Published: August 2022

Societies experience various turning points in the historical process. These turning points often emerge as crises. Although crises are not always financial, each crisis affects populations in socio-economic terms. The COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest crisis experienced today. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has directly affected Turkey as well as the entire world since March 2020. In this arduous process, the government has taken precautions to keep public health under control in Turkey, like in all other countries. Besides the government in Turkey, political parties as influential opinion leaders have also taken an active role in the pandemic process and tried to benefit the people segments they address. In this study, the use of social media and websites by political parties in Turkey during COVID-19, which is a crisis period, was evaluated by comparative analysis method, and also the shared contents were subjected to discourse analysis method. The study has concluded that AK Parti and MHP exert an effort to announce the strategies created to the public and other parties represent a critical attitude towards the ruling party, bringing the issues that citizens suffer during the pandemic to the fore.
A Novel City Benchmarking Methodology: Multidimensional Managerial Insight
Authors: ŞİMŞEK Ahmet Bahadır , GÜRKAN M. Edib
Published: August 2022

Benchmarking is a managerial tool that enables decision-makers to make critical inferences about their organizations from different perspectives such as their strengths and weaknesses, priorities, past and future. Benchmarking cities receives considerable research interest mainly because of its potential benefits to managers in evaluating policies and making strategic decisions. Current research on city benchmarking focuses on identifying the benchmark factors and developing methods for measuring the benchmark scores. In other words, the existing methods aim to derive city benchmark scores by combining the weighted factors and compare cities based on their respective scores. However, policymakers tend to request more detailed information to guide their policies, rather than having a simple scoring. This study aims to fill this gap with a novel benchmarking approach. The proposed approach relies on the sensitivity analysis of the multi-criteria decision-making technique adopted in benchmarking, and offers decision-makers three main outputs for each city: (i) delivering a consensual ranking that is free of decision-maker bias, (ii) indicating priority areas under which require the least effort to achieve better ranking, and (iii) revealing the relative effects of the previous policy results and projecting the future ranking if the current policies remain same. The implementation of the proposed methodology is illustrated by a case study. The case study highlights that adopting the proposed methodology is promising since it provides insightful managerial information to decision-makers.

Published: August 2022

The viruses that most commonly affect human respiratory tract include rhinoviruses, respiratory syncytial viruses (RSVs), influenza, and coronaviruses (CoVs). The virus infection of the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract triggers an inflammation accompanied by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines including IL6, IL8 (CXCL8), IL1β, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). The transition of the infection to the acute inflammatory phase in the lungs is accompanied by an increase in the production of cytokines, an influx of neutrophils and T cells into the lungs, and the induction of chemokines – CXCR3 receptor ligands – the main participants of generalized inflammation.

We studied the pharmacodynamic activity of the new compound XC221GI and its effect on release of the IL6 and IL8 in the course of an experimental RSV infection in vitro in human lung carcinoma cells A549 and in vivo in the lungs of cotton rats. We also studied the effect of XC221GI on the production of the chemokines CXCL10, CXCL9, and CXCL11 in mouse bronchoalveolar lavage as well as on the influx of neutrophils into the mouse lungs after the intranasal administration of interferon γ (IFNγ).

The obtained results demonstrate the anti-inflammatory activity of XC221GI, which suppresses the excessive production of the key inflammatory markers IL6, IL8, CXCL10, CXCL9, and CXCL11 as well as the influx of neutrophils into the lungs thereby reducing lung pathology. These data confirm the effectiveness of XC221GI as a medicine for preventive anti-inflammatory therapy during a viral infection of the respiratory tract.

Published: August 2022

Currently, there is not enough data on the cumulative error in the geometric characteristics of large-sized objects assembled using the technology of gluing in parts. The hull of the small vessel "Nerl" was chosen as a large-sized object created by the FDM method. The deviations of the diameter along mutually perpendicular planes and the heights of the glued products were measured on the example of test specimens of a cylindrical shape and gluings from them. The field of tolerance for glued products made of polylactide was determined. Recommendations for designing large-sized products when printing in parts by the FDM method were issued. The causes for the appearance of geometric deviations of single parts and gluings are described. The main disadvantages of the FDM method related to manufacturing accuracy are considered. Causes of geometric deviations are divided into three groups. The first is related to the parameters of the product material (thermal expansion coefficient, uniformity of the rod and hygroscopicity), the second is related to its design (multiplicity of linear dimensions, layer height and motor pitch, filling parameters, the presence and size of overhanging elements), the third is related to the features of the additive installation ( calibration along the X, Y, and Z axis, extrusion drive calibration, extrusion unit design, acceleration and travel speed, and nozzle diameter). It was found that preparing the production of 3D printing of a large-sized object using the technology of gluing in parts, for example, the hull of a small vessel, it is necessary to additionally take into account the numerical parameters of the layers of adhesive joints.

Published: August 2022

The temperature distribution in the ship engine cylinder sleeve during its heating and cooling is one of the most important factors affecting formation of the structure and properties of coatings in the process of cylinder recovery by the method of induction centrifugal sintering. The article discusses experimental studies, which allow presenting graphs of the temperature distribution over the diameters of the ship engine cylinder sleeve during its heating and cooling. The thermophysical properties of the sleeve were found to significantly affect the process of sintering powder materials. By varying the heating rate, it is possible to obtain coatings at different temperatures and sintering time. Modeling the temperature distribution in the wall of the cylinder sleeve during centrifugal induction sintering depending on the sintering time is of interest as well as taking into account the geometrical parameters of the sleeve, heat transfer, thermal conductivity, sleeve material, ambient temperature, etc. Expressions are obtained for determining the temperature distribution in the wall of the cylinder sleeve during induction centrifugal sintering. Using the obtained formulas, it is possible to simulate and obtain in advance the temperature distribution in the wall of the cylinder sleeve by setting the values of the parameters of centrifugal induction sintering. Modeling in the Autodesk Fusion 360 the temperature distribution in the sleeve during induction heating was obtained as well as visual display of the change in the temperature field in the sleeve during induction heating.
Criterion for Evaluating the Electrical Erosion Resistance of Materials

Published: August 2022

The article describes a method for obtaining a criterion for the electrical erosion resistance of materials used for the manufacture of electrodes for electric erosion machining. The assessment of the electrical erosion resistance of materials according to the Palatnik criterion was found to be inaccurate. It is shown that the electrical erosion resistance is inversely related to the material density and that the material thermal conductivity and not its melting temperature exerts the greatest effect on it. Further research will be aimed at obtaining a universal high-precision mathematical model of the criterion for the material electrical erosion resistance according to its thermophysical characteristics.

Published: August 2022

Aim: This study analyzes factors associated with dimensions of health literacy (HL) functional, communicative and critical among public health service users with chronic non-communicable diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical research was carried out in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, with adults and older adults attending Family Health Units (FHU). Data were collected by oral exam (CPOD and CPI) and a questionnaire on systemic conditions, sociodemographic factors, health behaviors and HLS (HLS-14). The outcomes consisted of functional, communicative, and critical HL dimensions dichotomized by median (high and low), which were analyzed by chi-square test (p<0.05) to find associations with the variables studied. Results: The study sample comprised 238 FHU users with 62.7 (± 10.55) mean age, of which 47.5% (n=113) showed high functional HL, 50.0% (n=119) high communicative HL, and 46.2% (n=110) high critical HL. High functional HL was associated with men (p<0.05). Functional and communicative HL were associated with having higher education (p<0.001 and p=0.018, respectively). High communicative and critical HL were associated with regular use of dental and medical services (p<0.05). Individuals with low functional HL were more likely to present poor tooth brushing (p=0.020). High HL (in all three dimensions) was associated with regular flossing and having more teeth (p<0.05). Conclusion: Functional, communicative and critical HL were associated with health behaviors and clinical outcomes, whereas the functional dimension was also associated with sociodemographic factors. HL dimensions allowed to differentiate health-related factors.

Published: August 2022

Background: The continued emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants has caused concern that a constantly evolving virus will escape vaccines and antibody therapies. New approaches are needed. Methods: We created and manufactured an ACE2 extracellular domain (ECD) fragment Fc fusion drug candidate, G921, and engineered the compound for enhanced delivery of drug to peripheral tissues by minimizing the size of the ACE2 ECD and by incorporating an Fc domain to enhance transcytosis. G921 was assessed for binding, neutralization, in vivo anti-inflammatory effect, and pharmacokinetic profile. Results: G921 was expressed as an IgG4 Fc fusion protein presenting two ACE2 domains to ACE2 ligands while avoiding risk of infection via antibody-dependent enhancement. G921 strongly binds to the SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 spike protein and demonstrates further diminished off rate to the spike protein from each of the currently identified variants of concern. G921 demonstrates ACE2 enzymatic activity comparable to positive control and binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) without binding to low affinity Fc-gamma receptors (FcγRs). G921 is effective in a concentration-dependent manner in a focus reduction neutralization assay with EC50=16.3±4.2 μg/mL without cytotoxicity in Vero E6 cells when tested at 200 μg/mL in an MTS cell proliferation assay. G921 demonstrates statistically significant reduction of lung inflammation in relevant models of both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. The pharmacokinetic profile demonstrated dose-dependent exposure with a multi-day half-life in monkeys and rats. Conclusion: G921 data are consistent with both antiviral and anti-inflammatory modes of action. G921 is a novel approach for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and possible other diseases characterized by deficiency of ACE2.
Maestro Eckhart
Authors: Marconi Valerio
Published: August 2022

Este artigo contribui para uma nova leitura do misticismo de Meister Eckhart, comparando-o com passagens chave do Itinerarium e da Legenda Maior de São Boaventura. A interpretação especulativa baseada na cristianização de Eckhart de Parmênides e na dialética é compensada pelo destaque da passividade do intelecto e da agência do amor divino no Nascimento de Deus dentro das profundezas da alma. A dialética se mostra, assim, como sendo apenas um momento de partilha com um todo feito também de liturgia e ética. Pode-se argumentar que a veia ética específica do êxtase de Eckhart combinada com o papel da passividade no Nascimento de Deus poderia tornar seu misticismo de alguma forma próximo da concepção da ética em Levinas.

Abstract: Hadith criticism is a long-established tradition dating back to the time of the Companions and Successors (Tābi'īn) and continued growing until became a scientific discipline with its principles and rules. Nevertheless, some scholars, both Western and Muslim, have been criticized for such discipline and regarded it unscientific method and, therefore, need to be re-examined. This article attempt to highlight the efforts of Muslim scholars in establishing this scientific discipline. By using historical and critical analysis method, the study concluded that the tradition of hadith criticism which has been done by those scholars since their early periods show its accuracy in determining the validity of a hadith, either in the level of theory or application as well..الملخص: إن عملية النقد للتمييز بين الصحيح والسقيم تجاه الأحاديث النبوية ليست بأمر جديد بالنسبة إلى علماء الحديث، حيث وجدت جذور هذه العلمية في عصر الصحابة ثم توسعت في عصر التابعين حتى أصبحت علما مستقلا له مبادئه وقواعده، وعلى الرغم من ذلك فقد تصدى عدد من المفكرين المسلمين والمستشرقين في نقد هذا العلم زاعمين أن منهح النقد عند المحدثين لا يبني على قواعد علمية وبالتالي لا بد من إعادة النظر حوله، يحاول هذا البحث تسليط الضوء على جهود علماء الحديث فيترسيخ هذا العلم، وبانتهاج المنهج التاريخي التحليلي النقدي خرج البحث بأن ما أرساه العلماء في بناء هذا العلم منذ فتراته الأولى قد تببنت فعاليته في تنقيح الحديث النبوي سواء كان في مستوي التنظير أو التطبيق.Abstrak: Tradisi kritik dalam penetapkan otentitas suatu hadis bukan hal yang baru di kalangan ulama hadis. Tradisi tersebut telah mengakar sejak masa Sahabat dan terus berlanjut pada masa Tabi’in hingga berkembang menjadi disiplin ilmu dengan prinsip-prinsip dan kaidah-kaidahnya yang sudah mapan. Kendati demikian beberapa sarjana, baik Barat maupun Muslim, menganggap metode kritik hadis yang dilakukan ulama tidak didasari kaidah ilmiah sehingga perlu diuji kembali secara kritis. Artikel ini berusaha menjabarkan bagaimana sebenarnya tradisi kritik yang dilakukan ulama terdahulu hingga menjadi sebuah disiplin ilmu. Menggunakan kajian historis analisis kritis, artikel ini menemukan bahwa tradisi kritik yang dibangun ulama sejak periode awal Islam menunjukkan keakuratan ilmu tersebut dalam penetapkan kesahihan sebuah hadis, baik dalam tataran teori maupun penerapannya.

A Study on the Need for VBI in Malaysian Islamic Financial Industry and its Shari'ah Perspective
Authors: Khan Mohammad Bilal
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the need for Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) in Malaysia introduced by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in March 2018, under the guidance of Shari'ah Advisory Council (SAC), which is the decisive authority in matters relating to Shari'ah, analyse the aim of VBI against that of SDGs in the light of Maqasid al-Sahri'ah, and to assess VBI from the perspective of Shari'ah. The growth of Islamic banking in Malaysia experienced a boost where the market share of Islamic banking assets grew from 7.1% in 2010 to 28% in 2016, but there has been a decline in Islamic finance's annual growth from 24.2% in 2011 to only 8.2% in 2016. There could be various reasons for this decline, such as maintaining a steady growth requires constant innovation in the products and services offered. However, innovation becomes difficult in case of IFIs, since they have to comply with legal and Shari'ah rules at the same time. Qualitative method of study is used for this paper.  It is found in the study that VBI not only conforms with the principles of Shari'ah but also re-focuses IFIs to achieve the objectives of Shari'ah or fulfill Maqasid al-Shari'ah. The study also found that VBI is also in line with the SDGs, which are human-made goals presented to the world by United Nations around 2012. However, while SDGs are prone to changes and criticism, the objectives, or goals of Shari'ah are holistic, permanent, and divine. VBI is a concept applicable only in Malaysia's Islamic Finance Industry until the time this paper is written, and therefore, it focuses only on the Malaysian IFI. There is a need to understand why VBI was needed in Malaysian IFI despite each Islamic bank having their own Shari'ah committee and SAC of BNM and this paper will help develop that understanding.

Challenges Hindering Islamic Microfinance Banks’ Sustainable Financial Inclusion: A Case of Al-Hayat Microfinance Bank in Ogun State, Nigeria
Authors: Salaudeen Adnan Opeyemi , Zakariyah Habeebullah
Published: August 2022

Microfinance is regarded as an effective technique of poverty alleviation since it provides access to financial resources that can assist in poverty reduction by increasing financial involvement and empowerment. However, despite the fact that microfinance banks account for the vast bulk of the market in Nigeria, with over 800, their contribution to the country’s economy is less than 1%. Additionally, the primary objective of poverty eradication has not been accomplished. Thus, existing research has positioned Islamic microfinance institutions as a viable tool for poverty alleviation in Nigeria. However, Islamic microfinance banks in Nigeria continue to witness minimal development. This research investigates the challenges hindering the development of Islamic microfinance banks in Nigeria. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for this study. In addition, data reduction, coding, integration, and visualisation steps are implemented to analyse data effectively. The finding shows that several regulatory issues, such as licence procedures requiring paid-up capital, are some challenges. Likewise, awareness, misconceptions, and acceptance remain significant hindrances faced by IMFBs in Nigeria. Additionally, IMFBs face some in-house challenges, such as a lack of Islamic fintech, convenient access to the unbanked community, and human capital. Consequently, the study recommends that stakeholders in the Nigerian financial system launch public awareness campaigns about the significance of Islamic microfinance banks in promoting financial inclusion and reducing poverty.
