Türk Romanında Eşrafın Memurlar Üzerindeki Hegemonyasına Bazı Örnekler
Authors: MEYDAN Emrah
Published: August 2023

Türk toplum yapısında son derece önemli bir konumda bulunan eşraflar, bulundukları bölgelerde çevrelerini yönlendirme ve şekillendirme gücüne sahip kimselerdir. Özellikle taşrada eşraf etkisinin daha güçlü olduğu söylenebilir. Nüfuz alanını genişletmek isteyen eşraf tipi, bu sebeple devlet memurlarını da etkisi altına almaya çalışarak memurlar üzerinde bir baskı unsuru oluşturmaya çalışır. Oluşturulan baskılar neticesinde öncelikle memurlar ve halk üzerinde etkisini artıran eşraf, bu sayede kendi menfaatlerini ön plana alarak artırmayı amaçlar. Bu amaç doğrultusunda meydana gelen haksız, hukuksuz, adaletsiz uygulamalar ve davranışlar ortaya çıkar. Bu durum ise sosyal hayatta bazı kırılmaların meydana gelmesine sebep olur. Sosyal yapıda meydana gelen bu olumsuzluklar ise yazarlar tarafından kaleme alınarak romanlarda bir tema olarak sıklıkla işlenir. Bu çalışmada ise eşraf tipinin yarattığı olumsuzlukları işleyen bazı romanlarda konunun nasıl işlendiği ve eşrafın nüfuzunu hangi yollarla genişlettiği tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, eşrafın ekonomik güç, siyasi güç, eğlence ve ahbaplık yoluyla memurları baskı altına aldıkları görülmüştür. Bu durumun ortaya çıkmasında memurların uzun görev süreleri ve ekonomik sıkıntıları etkili olmuştur. Ayrıca Türk toplum yapısında memurları devletin temsilcisi olarak görme ve bu sebeple halkın memurlara karşı çıkamaması da önemli bir etken olmuştur. Bunun yanı sıra memurlar arasında ahlaki açıdan kusurlu kimselerin bulunması da eşraf açısından değerlendirilmesi gereken bir fırsat olarak görülmüştür. Bütün bunların neticesinde eşraf sözcüğü olumsuz bir anlama bürünerek hegemonik eşraf tipi ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu eşraf tipi, memurlar üzerinde baskı kurarak onları kendi çalışanları gibi görmüş ve kendi menfaatleri doğrultusunda devlet işleyişine bile müdahale edebilecek cürete erişmiştir.

Considerations for Aspergillus Testing in Oregon
Authors: McKernan Kevin , Hom Sherman , McKernan Brendan
Published: August 2023

A group of Oregon growers recently filed a lawsuit against the Oregon Liquor and CannabisCommission (OLCC), asking to stay the enforcement of the state’s Aspergillus testingrequirement.This lawsuit made several unsubstantiated claims that this whitepaper will address, including:1. Scientific Uncertainty: The petitioners claim there is no clear, established linkbetween the consumption of contaminated cannabis products andAspergillus-related health issues, warranting further research before enforcement ofcostly and overly-restrictive rules.2. Ubiquity of Aspergillus: The petitioners claim that Aspergillus, especially A. fumigatusand A. flavus are environmentally ubiquitous fungi that Oregonians inhale every day.The strict pass/fail criterion is leading to random and economically damaging failuresfor cultivators and requires cannabis to conform to standards that no otheragricultural product on the market is currently required to comply with.3. Legitimacy of Testing: The petitioners claim a growing national skepticism around theeffectiveness of Aspergillus testing, which merits a comprehensive reevaluation ofthe rule's validity, its economic impacts on the industry, and whether there is anyappreciable benefit to consumers.4. Inconsistency in Testing: Significant inconsistencies in testing results and a stringentrule permitting only a single remediation attempt have added to the financial burdenon cannabis businesses.5. Financial Impact: The current rules disregard additional costs for compliance,threatening to bankrupt cannabis businesses due to factors including - loss ofproduct, increased number of compliance tests, disincentive of composite testing,post-testing remediation, and facilities upgrades.
"Two Heads are Better than One": Pair-Interviews for Visualization
Authors: Akbaba Derya , Meyer Miriah
Published: August 2023

Visualization research methods help us study how visualization systems are used in complex real-world scenarios. One such widely used method is the interview --- researchers asking participants specific questions to enrich their understanding. In this work, we introduce the pair-interview technique as a method that relies on two interviewers with specific and delineated roles, instead of one. Pair-interviewing focuses on the mechanics of conducting semi-structured interviews as a pair, and complements other existing visualization interview techniques. Based on a synthesis of the experiences and reflections of researchers in four diverse studies who used pair-interviewing, we outline recommendations for when and how to use pair-interviewing within visualization research studies.

Disentangling periodic and aperiodic resting EEG correlates of personality
Authors: Pacheco Luiza Bonfim , Feuerriegel Daniel , Jach Hayley , Robinson Elizabeth , Duong Vu Ngoc , Bode Stefan , Smillie Luke D.
Published: August 2023

Previous studies of the resting electroencephalography (EEG) correlates of personality traits have conflated periodic and aperiodic sources of EEG signals. As each type of activity is associated with different underlying neural dynamics, disentangling these can avoid measurement confounds and clarify interpretation of key findings. Using a large sample (N=300), we investigated how disentangling these activities impacts findings related to two research programs within personality neuroscience. In Study 1 we tested for associations between Extraversion and two putative markers of reward sensitivity—Left Frontal Alpha asymmetry (LFA) and Frontal-Posterior Theta (FPT). In Study 2 we used machine learning to predict personality trait scores from resting EEG. In both studies, power within each EEG frequency bin was quantified as both total power and separate contributions of periodic and aperiodic activity. In Study 1, total power LFA and FPT correlated negatively with Extraversion (r ~ -.14), but this effect disappeared when LFA and FPT were derived only from periodic activity. In Study 2, all Big Five traits could be decoded from periodic power (r ~ .20), and agreeableness could also be decoded from total power and from aperiodic indices. Taken together, these results show how separation of periodic and aperiodic activity in resting EEG recordings allow us to re-evaluate findings in personality neuroscience. Disentangling these signals allows for more reliable findings relating to periodic EEG markers of personality and also provides novel aperiodic measures to be explored in this field.
Estimating the Economic Benefits from the Cognitive Regulation Training and Exercise (CORTEX)-II Program
Authors: Mamaril Cezar Brian C. , Luo Yan , Thomas D. David , Kramer Arthur F. , McAuley Edward , Mullen Sean Patrick
Published: August 2023

Physical inactivity is a significant contributor to chronic diseases, leading to substantial healthcare burdens globally. This study provides a cost-benefit analysis of the COgnitive Regulation Training and EXercise (CORTEX) program, a novel, multimodal, games-based intervention designed to stimulate physical activity participation among middle-aged adults. Implemented as a 20-hour training program, half in a laboratory setting and half at home, the participants also received a year-long fitness membership and a Fitbit device. They were prescribed to meet or exceed 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week. The effectiveness of the CORTEX program was evaluated in a randomized controlled trial against an attentional control video condition. The primary aim was to determine the intervention's impact on sustained exercise behavior. A higher percentage of participants in the intervention group met the recommended physical activity guidelines, indicating the potential of the intervention as a health-promoting tool. The gross economic benefits of the program were estimated at $127,914, underlining the substantial potential of our intervention. The cost-benefit analysis revealed a per-participant net economic benefit of $249.76 for the intervention group, compared to $312.76 for the control group. Although the intervention group's net economic benefit was lower due to the added costs of the video game units, it demonstrated a higher adherence rate to physical activity guidelines. This suggests the potential for significant long-term health benefits and healthcare cost savings, thus supporting the intervention's financial viability and scalability. These findings underscore that game-based interventions like CORTEX may serve as effective, cost-conscious strategies to combat the public health issue of physical inactivity, providing valuable insights for translational behavioral medicine.
Designing multi-level mini-publics: The REGROUP experiment on knowledge, information, and trust
Authors: Leruth Benjamin
Published: August 2023

Practices of citizen deliberation have become increasingly popular across Western democracies over the past couple of decades. These may take a wide range of forms, each serving different purposes and interests, and producing different outcomes. Mini-publics are among the most common and widely used deliberative democratic innovations: they can be defined as “independent and facilitated group discussions among a (near) random sample of citizens who take evidence from experts and interested parties” (Smith and Setälä 2019: 300). Different types of mini-publics coexist and imply variation in terms of the number of participants, the number of meetings, the planned output and material costs.The main objective of this methods brief is to give a short explanation of what mini-publics effectively are, and to identify the challenges and opportunities they entail. While they should not be conceived as the solution to all policy problems and there are no ‘one-size-fits-all’ models of mini-publics, they offer innovative ways to investigate complex issues and how these are understood by citizens. The methods brief introduces a multi-level mini-public experiment (what we dub ‘the REGROUP model’), in which participants in citizens’ juries have the opportunity to formulate policy recommendations on knowledge communication, disinformation, the role of experts in policy-making and political trust at the domestic and European levels.
Concept Mapping: Unleashing the Power of Visual Learning in Science Education
Authors: Dahal Bishnu Kumar
Published: August 2023

Concept mapping is an effective approach for improving learning in science education by using visual representations of knowledge. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study is to determine the effectiveness of concept mapping as visual representations in increasing understanding of concepts and knowledge retention among secondary school students studying science. The students in the research are divided into two groups: the experimental group (N = 45), which gets instruction using concept mapping methods, and the control group (N = 50), which receives instruction using conventional methods of teaching. Participants in this study were chosen at random from two public secondary schools in Kathmandu and the Lalitpur district. To evaluate both groups' understanding and recall of scientific concepts, a pre-and post-test approach was used. The outcomes of this study will give important insights into the effectiveness of concept mapping as a method of instruction in science education. It is hypothesized that students in the experimental group who participate in concept mapping activities will show better conceptual understanding and retention than students in the control group.

This paper aims to analyze the output constancy of a medical linear accelerator using PTW, and to study the suitability as a daily quality assurance device. It is assumed that the device is sensitive enough to detect minor variations in central axis beam, flatness, symmetry, and beam quality factor. PTW, QUICKCHECKwebline is the most efficient wireless device used in daily quality assurance. The measurements of output doses of photons ( 6MV and 15 MV) and electrons (6,9,12, and 15MeV) from a medical linear accelerator before the daily treatment have been graphically analyzed. This study assures the output stability of Varian Clinac iX 2100 CD linear accelerator at Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital, Bhaktapur, Nepal. The beam flatness, symmetry, beam quality factor, and central axis of photon and electron beam have been analyzed for 10x10cm2 and 20x20cm2 field size in separate ways. Among the measurements, observed parameters lie under the tolerance limit as recommended by American Association of Physicists in Medicine viz. ±3%. The outcomes of the measurements are in the acceptable range for the treatment procedure of patients.
Mahatma Gandhi’s Paradigm of Peaceful Conflict Resolution: A Critical Assessment
Authors: Naskar Sanjib
Published: August 2023

Human life frequently involves conflict, yet man has also tried to resolve conflicts practically since the dawn of time. Conflict can be resolved in one of two ways: violently or nonviolently. Humans always have to decide whether to use violence or nonviolent means to settle disputes. Gandhi is remembered for his decision to choose Satyagraha, or nonviolent resistance, to resolve disagreements. Many scholars and individuals have described the nonviolent approach to settling problems both before and after Gandhi, but Gandhi was the one who not only spoke and wrote a great deal about it, but also exemplified it in his thoughts, words, and deeds. Through the assistance of a mediator, the modern Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) movement has developed a mechanism meant to prevent litigation and give parties to disagreements some degree of control over how they are resolved in a Gandhian spirit. The goal of the essay is to reexamine ADR from a Gandhian standpoint and show how Gandhian satyagraha and ADR techniques are related. Gandhi advocated for out-of-court settlements in numerous situations during his career and in public. Therefore, he might be referred to as the founder of ADR in India.

Exploring the Impact of Climate Variability and Human Activities on Runoff Alteration using SWAT Hydrological Model: A Case Study of South Koel River Basin, Eastern India
Authors: Mondal Subrata
Published: August 2023

The issue of runoff alteration has regional implications due to the complex and non-linear relationship with the catchment variables. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of climate variability and human activities on runoff alteration of the South Koel River basin using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model during 1981-2018. The input database of the SWAT model was a digital elevation model, soil, land use and land cover (LULC), and weather parameters which were collected from the various authenticate secondary sources. The results of step change analysis detected a change point in the year 2001 and 2008. On or before the change point it is called the reference period whereas, after the change point, it is called the interference period. However, the Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) value ranged from 0.76-0.91 while the R2 value ranged from 0.79-0.93 which indicated a very good fitted model with the observed runoff. The climate variability increased the runoff (25.88-43.03%), whereas the human activity through LULC change was responsible for the decrease in runoff (125.88-143.03%). Their combined effect decreased the runoff. The findings of the study can be played a crucial role in shaping the hydrological regime of the region.
Oclusión intestinal por endometriosis
Authors: Méndez Valle Daniela , Gamboa Hernandez Federico
Published: August 2023

La endometriosis es una proliferación ectópica de glándulas y estroma endometrial fuera del útero. Ocurre con mayor frecuencia en mujeres en edad fértil y a nivel pélvico. El sitio extragenital más frecuente en donde se manifiesta es a nivel intestinal, y generalmente esta entidad suele ser asintomática; sin embargo, puede presentarse con clínica de dolor abdominal, sangrado rectal y estreñimiento. Un pequeño porcentaje de las pacientes con endometriosis intestinal pueden incluso presentarse con un cuadro de dolor abdominal agudo que requiera de tratamiento quirúrgico de emergencia. La oclusión intestinal secundaria a endometriosis es una entidad poco frecuente, en la cual establecer un diagnóstico preoperatorio es complicado debido a la inespecificidad de los síntomas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 38 años que consultó a urgencias por un cuadro de oclusión intestinal. Se decide llevar a cirugía, en donde se documenta una masa en ciego (colon ascendente). Se realizó una resección segmentaria (colectomía derecha e ileotransversoanastomosis). La biopsia de la pieza reportó hallazgos que correlacionan con focos de endometriosis.

Published: August 2023

La endometriosis es una condición clínica que se caracteriza por presencia de estroma y glándulas endometriales extrauterinas, es decir, que se ubican anormalmente fuera de la cavidad uterina. Por lo general, se encuentran en la pelvis, ligamentos uterosacros, ovarios y saco de Douglas; sin embargo, también se pueden localizar en diversos sitios como lo es el intestino, la cavidad pleural y el diafragma. La endometriosis es un proceso inflamatorio de carácter benigno dependiente de estrógenos, que causa malestar y puede llegar a interferir en la calidad de vida de la mujer, con una amplia gama de síntomas que varían desde dismenorrea, dispareunia hasta infertilidad y dolor crónico, que puede ser severamente debilitante e incapacitante, puede generar perjudicaciones en etapas: premenárquica, reproductiva y en ocasiones postmenopáusica; además, afecta diversas esferas: social, mental y física. Durante años se ha investigado su posible patogénesis, algunas de las principales hipótesis son la menstruación retrograda, la teoría de la inducción, la diseminación linfática o vascular y la metaplasia del epitelio germinal. El diagnóstico determinante de la endometriosis es quirúrgico, y entre sus tratamientos se tiene a disponibilidad de medicamentos hormonales, no hormonales y quirúrgicos. Es una enfermedad frecuente que produce gran disconformidad en la vida de la paciente, por lo que como profesionales de la salud es necesario manejar esta patología de la mejor manera, con un tratamiento individualizado, oportuno y eficaz, ya sea de manera farmacológica o quirúrgica, según sea el caso.

La narcolepsia es un síndrome clínico de somnolencia diurna con cataplejía, alucinaciones hipnagógicas y parálisis del sueño. Es una de las causas más comunes de somnolencia diurna incapacitante. Existen dos tipos, narcolepsia tipo 1 y la narcolepsia tipo 2. Su prevalencia es igual tanto en mujeres como en hombres, y los síntomas suelen comenzar entre los 7 y los 25 años; sin embargo, el diagnóstico a menudo se hace años después del inicio de los síntomas. El tratamiento consiste en terapia conductual, así como tratamiento farmacológico tanto para la somnolencia diurna como para la cataplejía; además, implementar momentos de sueño periódicos y regulares, establecer horas para dormir y realizar siestas diurnas programadas son medidas fundamentales en los pacientes que presentan este trastorno.

Background: This study focused to evaluate the potency of injection Placentrex® by assessing the rate of soft tissue healing with bilateral symmetrical third molar impaction by using early wound healing score.
Materials and Methods: The split mouth study included 23 patients with bilaterally symmetrical third molar impaction. Randomly one side was selected as study group and other side as control group. 2 ml of Placentrex® injection was administered submucosally before surgical removal on the buccal and retromolar region in study group while control group was allowed to heal naturally. Parameters like soft tissue healing, pain, trismus and swelling were assessed on 1st,3rd and 7th post operative days. Early healing score was used to assess the soft tissue healing after surgical removal.
Results: The mean re-epithelialization based on CSR on 3rd post operative day showed characteristic significance with mean score of 4.56 (p<0.05) when compared to the control group which showed a mean score of 2.73. The inflammation based on CSI on 3rd postoperative day for the study group revealed a mean value of 1.73 (p<0.05) whereas for the control group a mean of 1.04 was recorded proving significance. It was found that there was no significant statistical difference in the case and control group in relevance to post operative pain, swelling and mouth opening.
Conclusion: Placentrex® exhibited characteristic significance in early soft tissue healing with signs of less inflammation and early reepithelialisation.

The psychological safety of specialists involved in the organization and provision of psychological assistance in war conditions
Authors: Pylypenko N.G.
Published: August 2023

The aim. To provide an analysis of the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to addressing the issue of psychological safety for specialists involved in the organization and provision of psychological assistance in war conditions.

Materials and methods. The research employed the bibliographic method, method of analysis, and synthesis of scientific materials from academic sources.

Results and discussion. A detailed analysis of several scientific studies revealed that among the main prerequisites for the emergence of emotional burnout in helping professionals, two directions are traditionally identified: the characteristics of professional activities and the psychological characteristics of the specialist.

In the context of the question about the psychological changes that can occur in professionals during their professional activities, we have examined the phenomenon of secondary trauma or secondary traumatic stress, which refers to the trauma experienced by a professional while providing psychological assistance. In the literature on crisis psychology, the phenomenon of burnout is often equated with the phenomenon of secondary trauma due to the following reasons: 1) both states tend to accumulate over time, and 2) they have similar consequences (insomnia, depressed mood, impaired communication with social environment and family).However, a detailed analysis of these phenomena indicates the presence of differences, primarily in the characteristics of their emergence.

Conclusion.

The main safety rules for assisting specialists, compliance with which is necessary to maintain their professional well-being, include: awareness of one's abilities and the limits of one's competence;having an understanding of one's vulnerabilities and assessing one's capabilities and risks when working with cases that involve heightened emotional sensitivity; tracking changes in one's emotional and physical state, as well as changes in behavior; seeking help from superiors when needed;when dealing with challenging crisis events and their aftermath, working better in pairs with colleagues. This is necessary for maintaining emotional balance for each specialist working in a pair and for the ability to rely on each other during consultations or group psychological work;participating periodically in supervision groups or receiving supervision.Following these rules is essential for preserving the emotional well-being of each specialist and enables them to rely on support systems such as working in pairs and seeking supervision or consultation when needed.

Introduction. The article presents the results of a medical and sociological study among consumers of cosmetology services regarding the quality of services and the state of safety, cases of infectious complications, problematic issues of regulatory support. The aim of the study. To establish the risks and factors of complications and diseases of infectious origin as a result of performed cosmetology procedures.

Materials and methods. Bibliosemantic, medico-sociological research among consumers of cosmetology services, analysis of current regulatory documents, medico-statistical, system analysis and logical generalization methods were used.

Research results and their discussion. According to the results of a medical and sociological study, a relationship between cosmetology services and infectious complications was established in 23% of respondents. 10% of consumers of cosmetology services had a history of contraindications, as well as allergic reactions to cosmetic products and materials, 29% have a tendency to allergic reactions, but continue to carry out cosmetology procedures. 93% of respondents are cautious and do not rule out the possibility of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, parenteral viral hepatitis B and C, as well as fungal, staphylococcal and other infections in case of non-compliance with the anti-epidemic regime and the rules of asepsis. Based on the analysis of the regulatory and legal support for the development of the field of cosmetology and the prevention of infection in the field of services for the public, it was found that there is a direct connection between the irregularity of cosmetology practice and the spread of diseases, including those of infectious origin, which leads to the insecurity of consumers and poses a threat public health.

Conclusions. On the basis of the conducted research, cases of infectious complications among consumers of cosmetology services have been established, which are related to the non-regulation of the activity of the field of cosmetology in legislative, regulatory and regulatory documents. In order to minimize risks, prevent infectious complications and preserve public health, it is necessary to adopt and improve at the state level normative legal acts related to cosmetology, to settle the issues of personnel training, to bring the standards of safety approaches in cosmetology closer to the level of the standards in force in the industry Health Care.
