Authors: Moudgil Tania , Gupta Deepti
Published: July 2024

Glaucoma is a common ocular condition that has permanent effects and is a serious threat to everyone’s vision health. The course of the disease is still significantly influenced by increased intraocular pressure (IOP), also known as eye pressure. This emphasizes the significance of effective use of medications to treat this illness. Significant progress has been made in the development of glaucoma medications over time. There are several different ways to lower IOP using these drugs. This in-depth analysis examines the evolving field of pharmacological glaucoma treatments, covering a range of drug classes including beta-blockers, prostaglandin analogs, alpha agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and rho kinase inhibitors. The mode of action, clinical effectiveness, and safety issues of each drug category are studied.

Authors: Dhami Abhinav , Dhami Nimrata Bajaj , Dhami Gobinder Singh
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE:

Dhami’s diamond-dusted internal limiting membrane (ILM) forceps.

METHODS:

ILM peeling is now a widely recognized technique routinely used to treat traction maculopathies and requires additional intraoperative agents, instruments, and an adequate learning curve to prevent complications such as nerve fiber layer defects and iatrogenic eccentric retinal holes.

CONCLUSIONS:

The authors present their initial experience with a novel instrument for peeling ILM, in which the outer surface and tip of ILM forceps are dusted with diamond to create a rough surface that helps in scraping the membrane and simultaneously allows the surgeon to peel the membrane adequately with minimal damage to the retinal surface.
Single umbilical artery and associated birth defects in perinatal autopsies: prenatal diagnosis and management
Authors: Saxena Manushree , Hungund Bhagyashri
Published: July 2024

Background: The umbilical cord forms the connection between the fetus and the placenta at the feto-maternal interface and normally comprises two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein. In some cases, only a single umbilical artery (SUA) is present. This study was conducted to evaluate associations between SUA and other congenital malformations discovered in perinatal autopsies and to ascertain the existence of preferential associations between SUA and certain anomalies.Methods: We evaluated records of all fetuses sent for autopsy to the Department of Pathology during the 10-year period from 2013 through 2022 (n = 1,277). The data were obtained from the hospital’s pathology laboratory records. The congenital anomalies were grouped by organ or system for analysis and included cardiovascular, urinary tract, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal, and lung anomalies.Results: A SUA was present in 8.61% of the autopsies. The gestational age of the affected fetuses ranged between 13 to 40 weeks. An SUA presented as an isolated single anomaly in 44 cases (3.4%). Of the 110 SUA cases, 60% had other congenital anomalies. There was a significant association between birth defects and SUAs (p < .001). Strong associations between SUA and urinary tract, lung, and musculoskeletal anomalies were observed.Conclusions: A SUA is usually seen in association with other congenital malformations rather than as an isolated defect. Therefore, examination for associated anomalies when an SUA is detected either antenatally or postnatally is imperative. The findings of this study should be helpful in counseling expectant mothers and their families in cases of SUA.

Management of gestational diabetes mellitus via nutritional interventions: The relevance of gastric emptying
Authors: Huang Wei-Kun , Jalleh Ryan J , Rayner Christopher K , Wu Tong-Zhi
Published: July 2024

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) represents one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy and is important to the well-being of both mothers and offspring in the short and long term. Lifestyle intervention remains the mainstay for the management of GDM. The efficacy of nutritional approaches (e.g. calorie restriction and small frequent meals) to improving the maternal-neonatal outcomes of GDM was attested to by Chinese population data, discussed in two articles in recent issues of this journal. However, a specific focus on the relevance of postprandial glycaemic control was lacking. Postprandial rather than fasting hyperglycaemia often represents the predominant manifestation of disordered glucose homeostasis in Chinese women with GDM. There is now increasing appreciation that the rate of gastric emptying, which controls the delivery of nutrients for digestion and absorption in the small intestine, is a key determinant of postprandial glycaemia in both health, type 1 and 2 diabetes. It remains to be established whether gastric emptying is abnormally rapid in GDM, particularly among Chinese women, thus contributing to a predisposition to postprandial hyperglycaemia, and if so, how this influences the therapeutic response to nutritional interventions. It is essential that we understand the role of gastric emptying in the regulation of postprandial glycaemia during pregnancy and the potential for its modulation by nutritional strategies in order to improve post-prandial glycaemic control in GDM.

Authors: Wu Nian-Wei , Lyu Xia-Fei , An Zhen-Mei , Li She-Yu
Published: July 2024

Adiposity, synonymous with obesity, is prevalent among both children and adults with type 1 diabetes in China. Recent literature underscored the patho-physiological and socioeconomic factors associated with adiposity, and consistently highlighted its impact on cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic diseases among Chinese individuals with type 1 diabetes. Addressing and managing adiposity in individuals with type 1 diabetes are complicated and entail comprehensive approaches including lifestyle modifications, cognitive-behavioral therapy, insulin dose titration, and other diabetes treatment medications. The condition calls for coordination among policymakers, researchers, clinicians, and patients.
Update on evidence-based clinical application of sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors: Insight to uncommon cardiovascular disease scenarios in diabetes
Authors: Tao Shi-Bing , Lu Xi , Ye Zi-Wei , Tong Nan-Wei
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we concentrate on updating the clinical research on sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLTis) for patients with type 2 diabetes who have heart failure with a preserved injection fraction, acute heart failure, atrial fibrillation, primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease/cardiovascular disease, and acute myocardial infarction. We searched the data of randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses of SGLTis in patients with diabetes from PubMed between January 1, 2020 and April 6, 2024 for our review. According to our review, certain SGLTis (empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, and tofogliflozin), but not sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 inhibitor (SGLT1i), exhibit relatively superior clinical safety and effectiveness for treating the abovementioned diseases. Proper utilization of SGLTis in these patients can foster clinical improvement and offer an alternative medication option. However, clinical trials involving SGLTis for certain diseases have relatively small sample sizes, brief intervention durations, and conclusions based on weak evidence, necessitating additional data. These findings are significant and valuable for providing a more comprehensive reference and new possibilities for the clinical utilization and scientific exploration of SGLTis.

Authors: Zhang Wen-Hao , Wang Chao-Fan , Wang Hao , Tang Jie , Zhang Hong-Qiang , Zhu Jiang-Yu , Zheng Xue-Ying , Luo Si-Hui , Ding Yu
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

The glycemic control of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may be influenced by the economic status of their parents.

AIM

To investigate the association between parental economic status and blood glucose levels of children with T1D using a mobile health application.

METHODS

Data from children with T1D in China's largest T1D online community, Tang-TangQuan®. Blood glucose levels were uploaded every three months and parental economic status was evaluated based on annual household income. Children were divided into three groups: Low-income (< 30000 Yuan), middle-income (30000-100000 Yuan), and high-income (> 100000 yuan) (1 Yuan = 0.145 United States Dollar approximately). Blood glucose levels were compared among the groups and associations were explored using Spearman’s correlation analysis and multivariable logistic regression.

RESULTS

From September 2015 to August 2022, 1406 eligible children with T1D were included (779 female, 55.4%). Median age was 8.1 years (Q1-Q3: 4.6-11.6) and duration of T1D was 0.06 years (0.02-0.44). Participants were divided into three groups: Low-income (n = 320), middle-income (n = 724), and high-income (n = 362). Baseline hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were comparable among the three groups (P = 0.072). However, at month 36, the low-income group had the highest HbA1c levels (P = 0.036). Within three years after registration, glucose levels increased significantly in the low-income group but not in the middle-income and high-income groups. Parental economic status was negatively correlated with pre-dinner glucose (r = -0.272, P = 0.012). After adjustment for confounders, parental economic status remained a significant factor related to pre-dinner glucose levels (odds ratio = 13.02, 95%CI: 1.99 to 126.05, P = 0.002).

CONCLUSION

The blood glucose levels of children with T1D were negatively associated with parental economic status. It is suggested that parental economic status should be taken into consideration in the management of T1D for children.
Magnetic resonance imaging combined with serum endolipin and galactagoglobin-3 to diagnose cerebral infarction in the elderly with diabetes mellitus
Authors: Zhang Yan-Hui , Liang Dong
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with serum endothelin and galactagoglobin-3 (Gal-3) can improve the clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction.

AIM

To analyze the clinical value of MRI combined with serum endolipin and Gal-3 for the diagnosis of cerebral infarction in the elderly with diabetes mellitus.

METHODS

One hundred and fifty patients with acute cerebral infarction hospitalized between January 2021 and December 2023 were divided into two groups according to comorbid diabetes mellitus, including 62 and 88 cases in the diabetic and nondiabetic cerebral infarction groups. Serum samples were collected to detect the expression of serum endolipoxins, and Gal-3, and cranial MRI was performed at admission. Differences between the two groups were compared to analyze the diagnostic value of these parameters.

RESULTS

Serum endolipin and Gal-3 expression were higher in the diabetic cerebral infarction group (P < 0.05). The arterial wall area, vessel area, normalized wall index, and lumen stenosis rate were higher in the diabetic cerebral infarction group, while the rate of arterial lumen moderate and severe stenosis was 48.39% higher (36.36%, P < 0.05). The percentage of large (29.03%) and multiple infarcts (33.87%) in the diabetic cerebral infarction group was higher (13.64% and 20.45%), and the incidence rate of lacunar infarcts was lower (37.10% vs 65.91%) (P < 0.05). The total incidence of arterial plaque in patients in the diabetic cerebral infarction group was 96.77% higher (69.32%), while the incidence of necrotic lipid core plaque was 58.06% higher (26.14%) (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to assess the diagnosis utility of these techniques. MRI in combination with serum endoglin and Gal-3 had the highest area under the curve, the Yoden index, sensitivity and specificity (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The expression of serum endolipin and Gal-3 in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus with cerebral infarction showed an elevated trend, and the degree of luminal stenosis was severe. MRI predominantly revealed large and multiple infarct foci. This combined index examination can improve the clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus combined with cerebral infarction.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Dysfunction of the glymphatic system in the brain in different stages of altered glucose metabolism and its influencing factors are not well characterized.

AIM

To investigate the function of the glymphatic system and its clinical correlates in patients with different glucose metabolism states, the present study employed diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) index.

METHODS

Sample size was calculated using the pwr package in R software. This cross-sectional study enrolled 22 patients with normal glucose metabolism (NGM), 20 patients with prediabetes, and 22 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate the function of the glymphatic system. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was used to assess general cognitive function. The DTI-ALPS index of bilateral basal ganglia and the mean DTI-ALPS index was calculated. Further, the correlation between DTI-ALPS and clinical features was assessed.

RESULTS

The left-side, right-side, and mean DTI-ALPS index in the T2DM group were significantly lower than that in the NGM group. The right-side DTI-ALPS and mean DTI-ALPS index in the T2DM group were significantly lower than those in the prediabetes group. DTI-ALPS index lateralization was not observed. The MMSE score in the T2DM group was significantly lower than that in the NGM and prediabetes group. After controlling for sex, the left-side DTI-ALPS and mean DTI-ALPS index in the prediabetes group were positively correlated with 2-hour postprandial blood glucose level; the left-side DTI-ALPS index was negatively correlated with total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein level. The right-side DTI-ALPS and mean DTI-ALPS index were negatively correlated with the glycosylated hemoglobin level and waist-to-hip ratio in the prediabetes group. The left-side, right-side, and mean DTI-ALPS index in the T2DM group were positively correlated with height. The left-side and mean DTI-ALPS index in the T2DM group were negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein levels.

CONCLUSION

Cerebral glymphatic system dysfunction may mainly occur in the T2DM stage. Various clinical variables were found to affect the DTI-ALPS index in different glucose metabolism states. This study enhances our understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetic brain damage and provides some potential biological evidence for its early diagnosis.

Authors: Tong Ke-Ke , Yu Yun-Feng , Yang Xin-Yu , Wu Jing-Yi , Yu Rong , Tan Chuan-Chuan
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

The impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear.

AIM

To analyze the causal relationship between T1D and IBD using Mendelian ran-domization (MR).

METHODS

Single nucleotide polymorphisms were sourced from FinnGen for T1D, IBD, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Inverse variance-weighted, MR-Egger, and weighted median tests were used to assess exposure-outcome causality. The MR-Egger intercept was used to assess horizontal pleiotropy. Co-chran’s Q and leave-one-out method were used to analyze heterogeneity and sensitivity, respectively.

RESULTS

Our MR analysis indicated that T1D was associated with a reduced risk of IBD [odds ratio (OR): 0.959; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.938-0.980; P < 0.001] and UC (OR: 0.960; 95%CI: 0.929-0.992; P = 0.015), with no significant association observed in terms of CD risk (OR: 0.966; 95%CI: 0.913-1.022; P = 0.227). The MR-Egger intercept showed no horizontal pleiotropy (P > 0.05). Cochran’s Q and leave-one-out sensitivity analyses showed that the results were not heterogeneous (P > 0.05) and were robust.

CONCLUSION

This MR analysis suggests that T1D serves as a potential protective factor against IBD and UC but is independent of CD.
Natural product-based treatment potential for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease
Authors: Shrivastav Dharmsheel , Kumbhakar Satyam Kumar , Srivastava Shivangi , Singh Desh Deepak
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease of impaired glucose utilization and a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The pathogenesis of both diseases shares common risk factors and mechanisms, and both are significant contributors to global morbidity and mortality. Supplements of natural products for T2D mellitus (T2DM) and CVD can be seen as a potential preventive and effective therapeutic strategy.

AIM

To critically evaluate the therapeutic potential of natural products in T2D and coronary artery disease (CAD).

METHODS

By using specific keywords, we strategically searched the PubMed database. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched as the primary focus that examined the effect of natural products on glycemic control, oxidative stress, and antioxidant levels. We focused on outcomes such as low blood glucose levels, adjustment on markers of oxidative stress and antioxidants. After screening full-length papers, we included 9 RCTs in our review that met our inclusion criteria.

RESULTS

In the literature search on the database, we found that various natural products like plant secondary metabolites play a diverse role in the management of CAD. American ginseng, sesame oil and cocoa flavanols proved effective in lowering blood glucose levels and controlling blood pressure, which are key factors in managing T2DM and CVD. In diabetic patients Melissa officinalis effectively reduce inflammation and shows diabetes prevention. Both fish oil and flaxseed oil reduced insulin levels and inflammatory markers, suggesting benefits for both conditions. The lipid profile and endothelial function were enhanced by Nigella sativa oil and Terminalia chebula , which is significant for the management of cardiovascular risk factors in T2DM. Additionally Bilberry extract also showed promise for improving glycemic control in patients with T2DM.

CONCLUSION

The high level of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenic properties found in natural products makes them promising therapeutic options for the management of CAD, with the potential benefit of lowering the risk of CAD.

Authors: Mejía María C , Piñeros Luis G , Pombo Luis M , León Laura A , Velásquez Jenny A , Teherán Aníbal A , Ayala Karen P
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Video-capsule endoscopy (VCE) is an efficient tool that has proven to be highly useful in approaching several gastrointestinal diseases. VCE was implemented in Colombia in 2003, however current characterization of patients undergoing VCE in Colombia is limited, and mainly comes from two investigations conducted before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period.

AIM

To describe the characteristics of patients undergoing VCEs and establish the main indications, findings, technical limitations, and other outstanding features.

METHODS

A descriptive study was carried out using data from reports of VCE (PillCam SB3 system) use in a Gastroenterology Unit in Bogotá, Colombia between September 2019 and January 2023. Demographic and clinical variables such as indication for the VCE, gastric and small bowel transit times (GTT, SBTT), endoscopic preparation quality, and limitations were described [n (%), median (IQR)].

RESULTS

A total of 133 VCE reports were analyzed. Most were in men with a median age of 70 years. The majority had good preparation (96.2%), and there were technical limitations in 15.8% of cases. The main indications were unexplained anemia (91%) or occult bleeding (23.3%). The median GTT and SBTT were 14 and 30 minutes, respectively. The frequencies of bleeding stigma (3.79%) and active bleeding (9.09%) were low, and the most frequent abnormal findings were red spots (28.3%), erosions (17.6%), and vascular ectasias (12.5%)

CONCLUSION

VCE showed high-level safety. The main indication was unexplained anemia. Active bleeding was the most frequent finding. Combined with artificial intelligence, VCE can improve diagnostic precision and targeted therapeutic interventions.

This article draws attention to the creative aspect of the work of a literary translator, which is in part a consequence of the fact that any translation strategy must be rooted in the literary work itself and follow its rules. This article focuses on compensation strategies used by the translator Joanna Pomorska when transla­ting Drago Jančar’s work into Polish. Three types of obstacles are presented: semantic shifts that arise from the very nature of literary work, reconstructing the literary world through translation, and transference of cultural competences related to intertextuality.
A study on the characteristics of Zaha Hadid's architecture from a multi-perspective perspective
Authors: Park Sung Chun , Oh Yun Sook , Moon Sun hee ,   Korea Institute of Design Research Society
Published: July 2024

Zaha Hadid began to make a name for herself with deconstructionist architecture in the post-structuralist era of the 1980s, and led the way in organic, non-linear architecture as digital architecture became common after the 2000s. The numerous buildings she left behind before her death left a significant mark on the development of modern architecture. The multi-semantic perspective is a model used as an analysis framework for deconstructivist architecture in space philosophy. It is a perspective that can recognize modern architecture inherent in the pluralistic diversity of modern society by discovering the metaphors and essential meanings of architectural forms and spaces. As such, studying the architectural characteristics of her architecture from a multi-semantic perspective is judged to be of great significance in understanding the direction of the future of modern architecture. Therefore, this study traces Zaha Hadid's overall architectural works, analyzes the characteristics of her works from a multi-semantic perspective, and draws conclusions. In conclusion, Zaha Hadid started from deconstructionism, showed a change to digital architecture, and changed the function-oriented architecture seen in structuralism into a space that can be interpreted multiple times. She created the expandability of multi-perspectives through the diagonal lines and acute angles of deconstructivism, and brought about the expandability of multi-perspective space through the non-linear organicity shown in digital architecture.

A Study on the Effect of Generative AI on the Spread of Fake News: Focusing on Digital Biology
Authors: Kim Heon Jae ,   Korea Institute of Design Research Society
Published: July 2024

With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence(AI) technology, concerns have been raised that it can be used to produce and disseminate fake news. Fake news is viewed as a digital organism that feeds on human interest and emotions, and how the Generative AI can increase the production and propagation power of fake news is considered. Through literature review and case analysis, the main characteristics of the Generative AI that can be abused in the production of fake news were derived. Deep learning, natural language processing, and multi-modal content synthesis are representative. Based on this, a conceptual model was proposed to explain the life cycle of AI-generated fake news and the factors of propagation within the digital platform. The research results suggest that the Generative AI can greatly amplify the scale and persuasiveness of fake news by automatically producing realistic and emotionally stimulating content. It also highlights the importance of digital platforms and user actions in the spread of AI-generated fake news. In order to cope with these threats, a multidimensional approach such as technical solutions, media literacy education, and regulation is required. An in-depth understanding of the co-evolution dynamics of AI technology and human society in the digital ecosystem is required. This study provides exploratory insights, but follow-up studies are needed for empirical verification and elaboration of the proposed model.

Orta Çağ Krallarının Dini Yaşamından Bir Örnek: Kral John, Hayırseverlik ve Sadaka
Authors: Ceylanbas Fuat
Published: July 2024

Bu çalışma, XII. yüzyılın sonlarında siyasî faaliyetlerini görmeye başladığımız ve XIII. yüzyılda İngiltere Kralı olan John’un dinî yaşamından kesitler sunmaktadır. Burada John’un dinî hayatına dair tüm meseleleri incelemek yerine Hristiyan itikadında da önemli bir yer tutan sadaka ve hayırseverlik ibadetleri ele alınmıştır. John’un ‘‘Siyasî saiklerle mi sadaka ibadetinde bulunduğu yoksa tamamen dinî bir vecibe olarak mı bu ibadetleri gerçekleştirdiği?’’ sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Angevinlerin de sadaka ve hayırseverlik ibadetlerinde nasıl bir yol izlediği ve itikadî yorumların nasıl devlet teamülü halini aldığı gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada Pipe Roll, Patentium gibi arşiv belgelerinin yanı sıra kroniklerden de yararlanılmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmamızda telif eserlerden faydalanılmış ve literatür takip edilmiştir. Çalışma göstermektedir ki John ‘‘Tanrı sevgisine mazhar olmak, atalarının ruhlarını kurtuluşa erdirmek ve yapmadığı/yapamadığı ibadetlerin diyetini ödemek için’’ sadaka vermiş ve hayırseverliklerde bulunmuştur. Döneminde dinsizlikle itham edilmesinin aslında yorumdan ziyade uygulamadan kaynaklandığı, John’un dini yorumlama konusunda eksiğinin olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Tüm inananlarda görülebileceği gibi John da dini vecibelerini yerine getirme noktasında pek de istekli değildir.

Published: July 2024

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, okullarda görev yapan öğretmenlerin mobbinge maruz kalma deneyimlerini anlamak ve bu deneyimlerin etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Araştırma kapsamında, farklı kademelerde görev alan öğretmenlerin mobbinge maruz kalma deneyimleri, bu davranışların kimler tarafından uygulandığı, başa çıkma yöntemleri, etkileri ve tepki biçimleri detaylı bir şekilde araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan örnek olay yönetimi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışma grubu, 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında Mardin ilinde farklı okullarda görev yapan okul öncesi, ilköğretim ve ortaöğretim düzeyinde görev yapan 15 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, eğitim kurumlarında mobbingin yaygın bir sorun olduğunu göstermektedir. Mobbingin en sık idareciler tarafından uygulandığı ve öğretmenler üzerinde ciddi psikolojik, sosyal ve fiziksel etkiler yarattığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, mobbing davranışlarının öğretmenlerin motivasyonunu olumsuz etkilediği ve eğitim-öğretim sürecine zarar verdiği belirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan öğretmenlerin çoğunluğunun mobbingi görmezden geldiği ve sessiz kaldığı, ancak bazılarının ise haklarını savunarak taviz vermediği ve olumlu iletişim yollarını denediği görülmüştür. Bu bulgular, eğitim kurumlarında mobbingin önlenmesi ve etkin mücadele stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.

Bu da anlatıldığı toplulukların tarihi, hayat ve dil anlayışlarından kaynaklanmaktadır. Başkahraman Köroğlu’nun iki alanda, özellikle ailesi, ortaya çıkışı, isim alması, sosyal durumu farklılık göstermektedir. Bu yazıda üzerinde durulacak olan Anadolu ve Özbek Köroğlu Destanının Ayvaz’ın Kaçırılışı ve Avazhan varyantları karşılaştırıldığında, yine bazı farklılıklar ve benzerlikler göze çarpar. Ayvaz-Avaz, Köroğlu-Goroğlu tarafından birtakım hilelerle kaçırılıp evlat edinilen gençlerdir. Köroğlu Destanı denildiğinde ilk akla gelecek ortak unsurlardan biri Kırat’tır. Atın Türkler’in hayatında önemli bir yeri vardır. Hızır, Kırk Çiltan (Kırklar) gibi ruhanî varlıklar da yine halk hikayeleri, destanlar gibi ürünlerde gördüğümüz dinsel motiflerdendir. Bazı edebiyat ürünlerinde karşılaşılan eşcinsel çizgiye bu varyantlarda da rastlanır. Anadolu’da gömleğinden geçirerek evlat edinme âdeti, Özbek kültüründe yakasından salıp eteğinden çıkarmak ifadesiyle görülmektedir.

Penjualan dan pembelian melalui platform online, dikenal sebagai e- commerce, mencakup distribusi, pembelian, dan penjualan produk serta layanan melalui sistem elektronik seperti internet, televisi, atau jaringan komputer lainnya. E-commerce melibatkan transaksi keuangan elektronik, pertukarandata digital, manajemen inventori otomatis, dan pengumpulan data otomatis. Dengan meningkatnya penggunaan perdagangan online oleh masyarakat, muncul konsep marketplace sebagai penyedia layanan yang berfungsi sebagai penghubung antara penjual dan pembeli di dunia maya. Penelitian yang digunakan dalam bidang hukum adalah penelitian hukum normatif, bersifat preskriptif, dimana ilmu hukum mempelajari tujuan hukum, nilai-nilai keadilan, validitas aturan hukum, konsep-konsep hukum, dan norma-norma hukum. Sumber-sumber penelitian hukum dapat dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Penelitian ini menerapkan teknik analisis data berdasarkan pendekatan secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini ialah bahwa kasus kehilangan barang milik penjual selama proses pengiriman kepada pembeli dalam transaksi jual beli online menghadirkan beragam pertimbangan hukum berdasarkan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata. Dalam hal ini, penjual memiliki kewajiban untuk mengirimkan barang sesuai dengan persyaratan perjanjian jual beli, dan risiko atas barang tersebut biasanya masih menjadi tanggung jawab penjual hingga barang diterima oleh pembeli. Namun, jika perjanjian tersebut mengatur transfer risiko kepemilikan barang kepada pembeli selama proses pengiriman, tanggung jawab atas kehilangan barang mungkin berpindah kepada pembeli. Selain itu, terdapat pertimbangan terkait pertanggungjawaban penyedia layanan pengiriman, yang mungkin memiliki batasan tanggung jawab atas kehilangan atau kerusakan barang.

The mixed mode of data collection method was used for the purpose whereby data were collected through semi structured interview questions and survey questionnaire. Analysis and interpretation of quantitative data was carried using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) whereas analysis of qualitative data involved looking for similarities and dissimilarities and generating themes. Finally the collected data and information from both qualitative and quantitative method will be compared and analyzed. It was inferred that TLM hold significant importance in providing valuable support and enhancing the learning experience for both educators and students. However, it was found that most schools lack the required TLM and teachers improvise the required TLM with locally available materials. However, improvisation of TLM requires lots of resources and support from many relevant stakeholders. Moreover, it was also found that improvisation is very time consuming and comes with the challenges of precision and accuracy. The study also founded that with the advancement of technology, digital tools like YouTube videos and simulations were used when readymade TLM are not available in the schools. However, this research study was carried during short period of time with minimum participants and findings from the study cannot be generalized for all the schools across the country. Furthermore, further research can be carried to find out about different module offered in two colleges of Education which teaches about preparation and improvisation of TLM.
