Authors: DEMİRER Büşra , ŞİMŞEK Ayşe , GÜNEŞ Musa
Published: June 2020

D vitamini yağda eriyen vitaminler grubunda olup aynı zamanda endojen olarak sentezlenebildiği için hormon ve hormon benzeri işlevlere sahip sterol türevidir. D vitamininin birincil kaynağı, ultraviyole B ışınını içeren güneş ışığıdır. Besinlerle alınan D vitamini yetersiz gelmektedir ve D vitamini eksikliği dünya çapında yaygın bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Aynı zamanda kullanılan ilaçlar, emilimi engelleyen hastalıklar, karaciğer ve böbrek hastalıkları, metabolik eksiklikler D vitamini eksikliğinin oluşmasında etkilidir. D vitamini eksikliği kas-iskelet sistemi hastalıkları başta olmak üzere birçok sağlık problemi ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Farklı popülasyon gruplarında serum D vitamini seviyesinin etkileri üzerine yapılan araştırmalar giderek artmaktadır. Özellikle sporcularda yapılan araştırmalarda, D vitamininin fiziksel performans üzerindeki potansiyel ergojenik etkilerine odaklanılmıştır. Bu noktada kas dokusunda D vitamini reseptörünün bulunması önem taşımaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalarda D vitamini eksikliğinin, kuvvet kaybına yol açabileceği ve fiziksel performans ile olumsuz ilişkili olduğu tespit edilen tip II kas liflerinde dejenerasyona yol açabileceği bildirilmiştir. D vitamini takviyesinin D vitamini durumunu iyileştirdiği, kas kuvvetini artırdığı ve fiziksel aktivite seviyesinde artış sağladığı gösterilmiştir. Ancak yapılan çalışmaların büyük kısmı genel popülasyonda yürütülmüştür. Sporcularda D vitamini durumu ve fiziksel performans arasındaki ilişki az sayıda çalışma ile incelenmiştir. İnsan iskelet kası dokusunda kalsitriol etkisinin altında yatan mekanizmaları tam olarak karakterize etmek ve bu eylemlerin sporculardaki atletik performansı nasıl etkilediğini anlamak için daha fazla çalışma gereklidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı sporcularda D vitamini, iskelet kası fonksiyonu ve fiziksel performans arasındaki ilişkinin mevcut kanıtlarını özetlemektir.

Bu çalışma, beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenliği bölümü öğrencilerinin benlik saygılarıyla sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Çalışma örneklemini, Süleyman Demirel, Erciyes ve Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitelerinde Spor bilimleri fakültelerinin beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenliği bölümlerinde öğrenim faaliyetlerine devam eden tesadüfi yöntemle ile seçilmiş 225 öğrenci oluşturmuştur.
Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında teknikleri olarak, kişisel bilgi formu, Coopersmith (1967) tarafından geliştirilmiş veTürkçeye uyarlanması Turan ve Tufan (1987) tarafından yapılmış Coopersmith Benlik Saygısı ve Walker ve ark (1987), tarafından geliştirilmiş ve Türkçeye uyarlanması Bahar ve ark (2008) tarafından yapılmış Sağlıklı Yaşam Davranışları II Ölçekleri kullanılmıştır.
Araştırmada elde edilen veriler bilgisayar ortamında analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemleri olarak sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sürekli değişkenleri arasında pearson korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır.
Katılımcıların, benlik saygısı ile sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının alt başlıkları olan fiziksel aktivite, stres yönetimi, alt başlıklarında ve SYBD toplam puanında düşük düzeyde, kişilerarası ilişkiler ve manevi gelişim orta düzeyde pozitif yönde ilişki tespit edilmiştir
Sonuç olarak, öğrencilerin spor etkinliklerine katılımı bedenlerine ve kendilerine verdikleri değerlerinin artmasını bununla birlikte benlik saygılarının artmasını da sağlamaktadır. Benlik saygısındaki artış da yaşama dair tutum, beklenti ve tatmin seviyelerini, özellikle fiziksel olarak olumlu değişmelerin etrafındaki kişiler tarafından takdir edilmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu durumun da sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının artmasından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir.

We report on the lowest-frequency detection to date of three bursts from the fast radio burst FRB 180916.J0158+65, observed at 328 MHz with the Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT). The SRT observed the periodic repeater FRB 180916.J0158+65 for five days from 2020 February 20 to 24 during a time interval of active radio bursting, and detected the three bursts during the first hour of observations; no more bursts were detected during the remaining ∼30 hr. Simultaneous SRT observations at 1548 MHz did not detect any bursts. Burst fluences are in the range 37 to 13 Jy ms. No relevant scattering is observed for these bursts. We also present the results of the multi-wavelength campaign we performed on FRB 180916.J0158+65, during the five days of the active window. Simultaneously with the SRT observations, others with different time spans were performed with the Northern Cross at 408 MHz, with XMM-Newton, NICER, INTEGRAL, AGILE, and with the TNG and two optical telescopes in Asiago, which are equipped with fast photometers. XMM-Newton obtained data simultaneously with the three bursts detected by the SRT, and determined a luminosity upper limit in the 0.3–10 keV energy range of ∼1045 erg s−1 for the burst emission. AGILE obtained data simultaneously with the first burst and determined a fluence upper limit in the MeV range for millisecond timescales of

. Our results show that absorption from the circumburst medium does not significantly affect the emission from FRB 180916.J0158+65, thus limiting the possible presence of a superluminous supernova around the source, and indicate that a cutoff for the bursting mechanism, if present, must be at lower frequencies. Our multi-wavelength campaign sensitively constrains the broadband emission from FRB 180916.J0158+65, and provides the best limits so far for the electromagnetic response to the radio bursting of this remarkable source of fast radio bursts.
The Accuracy of the Hubble Constant Measurement Verified through Cepheid Amplitudes
Authors: Riess Adam G. , Yuan Wenlong , Casertano Stefano , Macri Lucas M. , Scolnic Dan
Published: June 2020

The accuracy of the Hubble constant measured with extragalactic Cepheids depends on robust photometry and background estimation in the presence of stellar crowding. The conventional approach accounts for crowding by sampling backgrounds near Cepheids and assuming that they match those at their positions. We show a direct consequence of crowding by unresolved sources at Cepheid sites is a reduction in the fractional amplitudes of their light curves. We use a simple analytical expression to infer crowding directly from the light curve amplitudes of >200 Cepheids in three Type Ia supernovae hosts and NGC 4258 as observed by Hubble Space Telescope—the first near-infrared amplitudes measured beyond the Magellanic Clouds. Where local crowding is minimal, we find near-infrared amplitudes match Milky Way Cepheids at the same periods. At greater stellar densities we find that the empirically measured amplitudes match the values predicted (with no free parameters) from crowding assessed in the conventional way from local regions, confirming their accuracy for estimating the background at the Cepheid locations. Extragalactic Cepheid amplitudes would need to be ∼20% smaller than measured to indicate additional, unrecognized crowding as a primary source of the present discrepancy in H
0. Rather, we find the amplitude data constrains a systematic mis-estimate of Cepheid backgrounds to be 0.029 ± 0.037 mag, more than 5× smaller than the size of the present ∼0.2 mag tension in H
0. We conclude that systematic errors in Cepheid backgrounds do not provide a plausible resolution to the Hubble tension.
The Low-mass Members of the Ursa Major Association
Authors: Gagné Jonathan , Faherty Jacqueline K. , Popinchalk Mark
Published: June 2020

We present a set of over-densities in spatial-kinematic space previously identified by Kounkel & Covey (2019) that may constitute extended tidal tails associated with the nearby, 400 Myr old Ursa Major association. This sample of 1599 stars has a main-sequence turnoff point consistent with the age of Ursa Major, and might contain its missing low-mass members. It includes four candidate white dwarfs with properties that seem consistent with a total age of about 400 Myr, but we estimate from older white dwarf interlopers that about 33% of the sample may be contaminated by random field stars.

This article presents the results of a study of the sieve mill of a grain cleaning machine with a drive based on a linear asynchronous motor instead of a classic mechanical drive. The purpose of this work is to describe the structural and technological parameters of a sieve mill with a linear asynchronous drive to implement a mathematical model of the technological process of a grain cleaning machine work. A kinematic study of the flat hinged mechanism of the sieve mill of a grain cleaning machine was carried out, for which all geometric dimensions are known and the laws of motion of the leading link - the electric drive of the sieve mill based on a linear asynchronous motor are determined. As a result, the following were determined: kinematic modes kP > kB > kH of sieve mill vibrations under various technological conditions; laws of motion of all parts of the mechanism of the sieve mill, movement, speed (0.34... 0.36 m/s) and acceleration (5.8... 6.9 m/s2) of the driven links; a mathematical model of the kinematic scheme of a sieve mill of a grain cleaning machine with a drive from a linear induction motor has been developed. The use of a linear induction motor compared to existing (classical) drive designs as a drive of a sieve mill in a grain-cleaning machine significantly reduces the metal consumption of the structure (drive shafts, transmission mechanisms, connecting rods, bearings are excluded from the structure), and energy consumption is also reduced due to pulse drive operation; makes it possible in a wide range of technological parameters regulation for various crops, including various physical and mechanical parameters of the crop being cleaned.

Published: June 2020

The sterile insect technique is a new approach for the integrated management ofDrosophila suzukiiMatsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae), an invasive pest in North America. We evaluated, under laboratory conditions, the mating capacities and success of maleD. suzukii, irradiated at a dose of 120 Gy, with and without competition. We also explored the tendency of females to remate depending if their first mate was irradiated or not. We observed that irradiated males have the same mating capacity as control males, copulating with, respectively, 6.4 ± 1.9 females versus 6.9 ± 2.0 females in a 24-hour period. Irradiated males won the competition 37.5% of times, which is not significantly different from competiveness of control males. Female remating can be considered infrequent and not significantly influenced by male treatment: 7.4% of the females first mated with control males and 18.8% of the females first mated with irradiated males remated when given the opportunity two days and four days after the first mating. Latency before mating and mating duration were not significantly influenced by male treatment, but by presence of male competition. Overall, irradiated males thus seem to be as performant as control males, which is an important condition for a successful sterile insect technique programme.

Noninvasive diagnostics for Staphylococcus aureus musculoskeletal infections (MSKI) remain challenging. Abs from newly activated, pathogen-specific plasmablasts in human blood, which emerge during an ongoing infection, can be used for diagnosing and tracking treatment response in diabetic foot infections. Using multianalyte immunoassays on medium enriched for newly synthesized Abs (MENSA) from Ab-secreting cells, we assessed anti–S. aureus IgG responses in 101 MSKI patients (63 culture-confirmed S. aureus, 38 S. aureus–negative) and 52 healthy controls. MENSA IgG levels were assessed for their ability to identify the presence and type of S. aureus MSKI using machine learning and multivariate receiver operating characteristic curves. Eleven S. aureus–infected patients were presented with prosthetic joint infections, 15 with fracture-related infections, 5 with native joint septic arthritis, 15 with diabetic foot infections, and 17 with suspected orthopedic infections in the soft tissue. Anti–S. aureus MENSA IgG levels in patients with non–S. aureus infections and healthy controls were 4-fold (***p = 0.0002) and 8-fold (****p < 0.0001) lower, respectively, compared with those with culture-confirmed S. aureus infections. Comparison of MENSA IgG responses among S. aureus culture–positive patients revealed Ags predictive of active MSKI (IsdB, SCIN, Gmd) and Ags predictive of MSKI type (IsdB, IsdH, Amd, Hla). When combined, IsdB, IsdH, Gmd, Amd, SCIN, and Hla were highly discriminatory of S. aureus MSKI (area under the ROC curve = 0.89 [95% confidence interval 0.82–0.93, p < 0.01]). Collectively, these results demonstrate the feasibility of a bioinformatic approach to use a patient’s active immune proteome against S. aureus to diagnose challenging MSKI.
Synchronous Occurrence of Odontogenic Keratocyst and AmeloblastomA: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Firth Norman , Alsarraf Abdulhameed , Vujcich Nathan , Kujan Omar
Published: June 2020

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and ameloblastomas are distinct histopathologically diagnosed odontogenic lesions of the oral cavity. Both are primarily located in the posterior regions of the mandible, however, they can involve the maxilla as well. The occurrence of both an OKC and ameloblastoma in a patient is very uncommon. This case demonstrated such a lesion in the mandible of a 57 years old female. The diagnostic work-up and features of both lesions are illustrated with special focus on histopathological variances distinguishing OKC from ameloblastoma with the support of immunohistochemistry. This case highlights the importance of identifying accurate diagnoses for such lesions which may prompt clinical implications. Clinico-pathologic understanding of both lesions signifies the need for careful management plan and prevention of recurrence. Previously reported simultaneous occurrences of odontogenic cysts and/or tumors in the oral cavity are also reviewed.

Published: June 2020

Brunner’s gland hyperplasia (BGH) is an unusual entity that presents with large duodenal polyp or mass and rarely causes gastrointestinal bleeding. It is usually asymptomatic and often an incidental finding during the esophagoduodenoscopy (EGD). However, most of the cases are benign. We encounter a 40 years old man who presented in Emergency Room with melena. EGD revealed solitary, large duodenal polyp in second part of duodenum and later histopathological findings were consistent with BGH.
Physiological and Pathological Functions of Beta-Amyloid in the Brain and Alzheimer'S Disease
Authors: Volicer Ladislav
Published: June 2020

Alzheimer's disease is a major health problem all over the world. The role of beta-amyloid (Aβ) is at the center of investigations trying to discover the disease pathogenesis and to develop drugs for treatment or prevention on Alzheimer's disease. This review summarizes both physiological and pathological functions of Aβ and factors that may participate in the disease development. Known genetic factors are trisomy of chromosome 21, mutations of presenilin 1 and 2, and apolipoprotein E4. Lifetime stresses that increase the risk of development of Alzheimer's disease are described. Another important factor is the level of education, especially of linguistic ability. Lifestyle factors include mental and physical exercise, head injury, social contacts, and diet. All these factors might potentiate the effect of aging on the brain to increase the risk of development of pathological changes. The review summarizes pathological features of Alzheimer brain, Aβ plaques, neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau, and brain atrophy. Consequences of Alzheimer's disease that are reviewed include cognitive deficit, loss of function, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Because there is no effective treatment, many persons with Alzheimer's disease survive to severe and terminal stages which they may fear. Alzheimer's disease at this stage should be considered a terminal disease for which palliative care is indicated. Importance of advance directives, promoting previous wishes of the person who was developing dementia and who subsequently lost decision-making capacity, and limitations of these directives are discussed. Information in this review is based on author's knowledge and clinical experience that were updated by searches of PubMed.

Authors: Lin Chuang-Yu , Hou Chun-Yin , Tsai Chung-Min , Chang Hsi
Published: June 2020

The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of satellite cells to muscular atrophies which possess different pathological characteristics and which were induced by distinct damages. Right lower limbs of rats were exposed to denervation or disuse and later its tibialis anterior (TA) or soleus (SOL) muscles were analyzed. After confirming their functional impairments indicated by common but distinct pathological and electrophysiological characteristics, the quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of Pax7 and Pax3 expressions and the number of Pax7+ve and Pax3+ve cells were analyzed sequentially at day 0, day 7, and day 14. TA muscles of both denervation- and disuse-induced atrophy models showed persisted low level of Pax7 expression from day 7 (0.91 ± 0.23 and 0.31 ± 0.07, P = 0.06, n = 6) through day 14 (1.09 ± 0.15 and 0.4 ± 0.09 [P < 0.05]). On the other hand, significant elevations were observed in Pax3 expression in both atrophy models (2.73 ± 0.46 and 2.75 ± 0.26 [P < 0.05]) at day 7. Similar to TA muscle, resembled pattern of Pax7 and Pax3 expression changes were observed between the SOL muscles of denervation- and disused-atrophy models. These trends were further confirmed by the changes in Pax7+ve and Pax3+ve cell numbers of TA and SOL muscles in both atrophy models. Despite the distinct pathological findings, similar patterns in the changes of Pax3 and Pax7 expressions and the changes of Pax7+ve and Pax3+ve cell numbers were observed between the denervation- and disuse-induced atrophy models and this commonality was admitted among the muscle type. Therefore, we claim that the muscle regeneration orchestrated by satellite cells was governed by the muscle type in which satellite cells reside.
Comparative Study of Three Different Modalities of Topical Anesthesia in Various Dermatological Procedures
Authors: Gupta Jyoti , Khunger Niti , Ramesh V.
Published: June 2020

Background:

Infiltrative anesthetics are frequently chosen because of their proven safety record, low cost, ease of storage, widespread availability, and rapid onset of action; a good topical anesthetic agent can eliminate the use of painful injections prior to procedures.

Aims:

The present study was carried out to compare the eutectic mixture of local anesthetic (EMLA), cryogel, lignocaine spray, and controls for pain caused during common dermatological procedures.

Methods:

This study included 120 patients who were divided into four groups with 30 patients each for needle extraction for molluscum contagiosum and milia; intralesional injection for keloids and alopecia areata; radiofrequency ablation for warts, acrochordons, and intradermal nevus; and dermabrasion for surgical treatment of vitiligo. Topical anesthetics such as EMLA, cryogel, and lignocaine spray were applied and pain was assessed using visual analog scale (VAS) score. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

The mean VAS score was highest for the control group (VAS = 5.2) and lowest for EMLA group (VAS = 1.3). There was a significant reduction in the pain with the topical anesthetic application as compared to controls. The mean VAS score for all procedures showed a significant pain reduction with topical anesthetic application as compared to controls (P < 0.05).

Limitations:

Lack of standardized methods of topical anesthetic application and there is the inherent limitation in the exactness of pain scoring scale available for use.

Conclusion:

All modalities of topical anesthesia had proven their efficacy for dermatological procedures, but in a procedure like dermabrasion, it may not be possible to use any of the topical anesthetics solely to produce sufficient anesthesia.

Published: June 2020

Post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is a late cutaneous manifestation of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), though it can occur without a history of visceral disease. The diagnosis and treatment of PKDL is important as cases of PKDL have been known to cause outbreaks of VL. We report a case of PKDL from an area with low endemicity of VL and has presented with PKDL without VL. Due to poor tolerance to conventional amphotericin B (CAmB), he was successfully treated with Fungisome™ – Indian liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB). We want to emphasize on the successful treatment of PKDL with Fungisome™ – an Indian LAmB. This is a first such case of PKDL being treated with LAmB (Fungisome™), developed jointly by the Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, and the Department of Biochemistry, Delhi University with funding from the Department of Biotechnology. Translational research and commercialization was done by Lifecare Innovations, India.

Large-scale rank and rigidity of the Weil–Petersson metric
Authors: Bowditch Brian H.
Published: June 2020

We study the large-scale geometry of Weil–Petersson space, that is, Teichmüller space equipped with theWeil–Petersson metric. We show that this admits a natural coarse median structure of a specific rank. Given that this is equal to the maximal dimension of a quasi-isometrically embedded euclidean space,we recover a result of Eskin,Masur and Rafi which gives the coarse rank of the space. We go on to show that, apart from finitely many cases, the Weil–Petersson spaces are quasi-isometrically distinct, and quasi-isometrically rigid. In particular, any quasi-isometry between such spaces is a bounded distance from an isometry. By a theorem of Brock,Weil–Petersson space is equivariantly quasi-isometric to the pants graph, so our results apply equally well to that space.
Reading Comprehension of Subject-specific Texts in a Foreign Language
Authors: Umek Alenka
Published: June 2020

This study investigates the patterns used by economics and business students in reading comprehension (RC) of subject-specific texts in a foreign language (FL), particularly in relation to their use of background knowledge (BK). The think-aloud (TA) method was used and the data were derived from readers’ verbal protocols. The coding of protocols yielded seventeen coding categories. The results were analysed and compared between two groups: one with high and one with low knowledge as determined by a prior BK assessment. The coding data were linked to the reading comprehension test results and typical patterns were established. Readers with high BK used more correct paraphrasing, inferencing, elaboration, and evaluation. In contrast, readers with low BK took more of a local approach to reading by focusing more on individual words. They frequently used English in their Slovene think-alouds, produced wrong and approximate paraphrases, and signalled lack of understanding. The article closes by examining implications for FL reading instruction and developing disciplinary literacy.

The article describes the views nurse mentors have on the efficiency of their mentoring of nursing students in one of the public hospitals in Slovenia. This is one of the least addressed fields of research, particularly when evaluating the effects of nurse mentors. The purpose of the quantitative study is to ascertain the situation and effects nurses have when mentoring university students during their clinical practice. The descriptive method of empirical research was applied. The research was based on the analysis of a questionnaire for nurse mentors. The goal was to find out how they view mentorship efficiency, how to increase it, and how mentors evaluate their competences, difficulties, etc. The study’s findings bring new insights and important recommendations on how to improve mentoring during the clinical practice of nursing students. The research showed that mentors needed pedagogical and andragogical knowledge. The results are important for improving the quality of nursing mentorship and positively affect their further education and professional development. It would also be important to establish a Slovenian, European and international network of nursing mentorship for university students in the future. This would have an impact on the international cooperation of nurse mentors and their mentoring efficiency, as well as better practical training and employment for students of nursing.
Yalmavuz Neden Öfkelendi?
Authors: Yalçınkaya Fatoş
Published: June 2020

Masal, onu yaratan toplumun kültürel kodlarını barındıran bir türdür. Farklılaşan ve değişen şartlara rağmen Türk dünyası masalları birçok ortak unsur barındırmaktadır. “Yalmavuz” bu ortak unsurlardan biridir. Türk dünyası masalları içinde ortak olan bu unsur genellikle “Yedi Başlı Dev” motifi şeklinde masallarda varlığını devam ettirmiştir. Kökeni mitik döneme dayanan Yalmavuz, masallarda dev anası şeklinde yaşamaya devam etmiştir. Yalmavuz genellikle yedi başlı, yaşlı ve çirkin bir kadın olarak tasvir edilmiştir. Masallarda kahraman yola çıkar, yolda ateşi söner ya da söndürülür. Ateşi aramaya çıkarken Yalmavuz’a rastlar. Yalmavuz ona ateş verir. Karşılığında onun pişirdiği bütün yemekleri yer. Masal kahramanı ile Yalmavuz dövüşür, Yalmavuz yer altına kaçar. Kahraman yer altına iner ve Yalmavuz’u öldürür. Ateşin kaybedilmesi Türk dünyası masallarının ortak motiflerinden biridir. Türk mitik tasavvurunda yaratılan her varlığın bir iyesi vardır. Masallarda ateşin Yalmavuz’un elinde olması onun ateşin koruyucu iyesi olduğunu gösterir. Yalmavuz bütün anlatılarda kadın olarak tasvir edilmiştir. Kökeni anaerkil döneme dayanan Yalmavuz, ateşin koruyucusu olan bir kadın iyedir. Türk mitik tasavvurundaki iyelerin genel özelliği koruyucu olmalarıdır. Fakat kendilerine gerekli özen gösterilmediği zaman öfkelenip insanları cezalandırabilmektedirler. “Umay Ana” kadın ve çocukların koruyucu iyesidir. Genellikle Umay Ana koruyucu iye olarak kalmıştır. Bazı kadın iyeler ise kötüye evirilmiştir. Yalmavuz kötüye evirilen iyelerden biridir.Bu çalışmada “Ateşin koruyucu iyesi olan Yalmavuz neden masallarda demonik bir varlık olarak yer almıştır, Türk dünyası masallarından hareketle Yalmavuz demonik bir varlık mı yoksa kendisine gerekli saygı gösterilmediği için öfkelenen ve cezalandıran bir iye midir?” sorularına cevap aranacaktır.
Loanwords in Uyghur in a Historical and Socio-Cultural Perspective
Authors: Aisaiti Sulaiman
Published: June 2020

Modern Uyghur is one of the Eastern Turkic languages which serves as the regional lingua franca and spoken by the Uyghur people living in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China, whose first language is not Mandarin Chinese. The number of native Uyghur speakers is currently estimated to be more than 12 million all over the world (Uyghur language is spoken by more than 11 million people in East Turkistan, the Uyghur homeland. It is also spoken by more than 300,000 people in Kazakhstan, and there are Uyghur-speaking communities in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Mongolia, Australia, Germany, the United States of America, Canada and other countries). The Old Uyghur language has a great number of loanwords adopted from different languages at different historical periods. The loanwords come from sources such as ancient Chinese, the ancient Eastern Iranian languages of Saka, Tocharian and Soghdian of the Tarim Basin. Medieval Uyghur, which developed from Old Uyghur and Karakhanid Turkic, is in contrast to Old Uyghur, is a language containing a substantial amount of Arabic and Persian lexical elements. Modern Uyghur was developed on the basis of Chaghatay Turki, which had also been heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian vocabularies. After the beginning of the twentieth century, however, the strong Arabic and Persian lexical influence weakened and, instead, modern scientific and technological vocabulary got borrowed from European languages via Russian and Central Asian Turkic languages began to increase in proportion. From the end of the 1950s to the beginning of the 1980s, the lexical influence of Chinese became increasingly stronger. Since the middle of the 1980s, on the other hand, there has been a tendency to replace Chinese loanwords with indigenous word formations, loaned translations or international terms copied from Russian. This paper will discuss the loanwords in the Uyghur language and their historical and socio-cultural backgrounds. At the same time, we will clarify these loanwords by looking at the basis of current Uyghur studies and other sources for the purpose of elucidating the historical and socio- cultural backgrounds of Uyghur linguistic development.

De la phénoménologie descriptive à la phénoménologie spéculative. Apports de la phénoménologie à la théologie chrétienne
Authors: Gilbert, S. J. Paul
Published: June 2020

El artículo estudia cómo la fenomenología puede contribuir al quehacer teológico. A tal fin, el prof. Gilbert comienza por identificar los inicios de la fenomenología (Hegel, Husserl). Seguidamente, presenta lo que él denomina fenomenología “descriptiva” (Durkheim, Caillois, Otto), marcada por las ciencias humanas, que sirvió para reconocer las características esenciales de la religión. Pero la fenomenología puede dar un paso más, ya estrictamente filosófico, para elaborar un modo de fenomenología “especulativa”. Finalmente, el artículo indica las aportaciones de esta esta fenomenológica al desarrollo de la teología, estudiando las propuestas de Michel Henry, Jean-Luc Marion y Emmanuel Falque.
An Assessment of the Effectiveness of Open Performance Review and Appraisal System (OPRAS) to Secondary School Teachers in Arusha City, Tanzania
Authors: Ilomo Onesto , Mapunda Anyingisye Petro
Published: June 2020

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of management and supervision process of Open Performance Review and Appraisal System (OPRAS). The researchers adopted survey design to study 10 out of 26 public secondary schools in Arusha City, Tanzania. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 214 sampled teachers of which 197 (92.1%) returned the questionnaire and 17 (7.9%) questionnaires were not returned. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics through mean scores. The study revealed that secondary school teachers perceived that the management and supervision process of OPRAS was not effective. The study also revealed that the heads of secondary schools didn’t coach, mentor and counsel their teachers about OPRAS. Teachers didn’t sign annual performance agreements and account for their performance; the teachers didn’t receive copies (feedback) of their performance development of mid-year and annual reviews and didn’t comment on their performance appraisal report. Furthermore, the discussions on the attainment of teachers’ annual overall performance between teachers and their supervisors were not being witnessed by observers. The researchers recommended that Local Government Authorities and Policy makers in educational sector need to train supervisors on OPRAS so that they may acquire the basic knowledge, skills and competence required for its effective implementation. Heads of secondary schools should coach, mentor and counsel their teachers about OPRAS. Also during appraisal and review process, both supervisors and teachers should be involved and supervisors should provide feedback to their subordinates. Moreover, Government authorities need to be committed to the OPRAS as a tool of measuring teacher’s performance.
