“Make Known”: Historical Memory, Politics of Memory and Historical Monuments of the Russian Empire
Authors: Filyushkin A. I.
Published: November 2023

Historical memory is a necessary element of the nation-building process. It has various forms of realization, including visual ones. The article discusses one of the forms of visualization of historical memory through specific historical places – officially confirmed historical monuments. The author proves the thesis that the list of national historical monuments depended on the history politics implemented by the authorities and considers the evolution of this politics from 1826 (the first decree of Emperor Nicholas I on compiling in Russia a list of historical monuments, this was done by the Ministry of the Interior) until 1917. Initially, the authorities sought to recreate the picture of the historical past by fixing the surviving monuments. However historical politics was changing in the late 19th – early 20th centuries. The purpose of the empire was to present Russian history as the apotheosis of the Romanov dynasty, especially its last representatives (Alexander II, Alexander III, Nicholas II). Therefore, according to their description of 1901–1903, most historical monuments were modern monuments to the last emperors and members of the imperial family. They were not historical monuments in the true sense of the term. It was an ideological, a propaganda campaign. The author draws attention to its inefficiency; these monuments could not improve the image of the Romanovs in the eyes of society. The author draws attention to the similarity of the principles of visualization of history through historical monuments in the Russian Empire and the USSR. In both cases, an ideological basis shaped the history politics, which was less about preserving historical memory and more about ideology and channeling specific ideas through selected monuments. Moreover, in both cases, it was a cause of inefficiency of history politics.

This study was an increase and decrease of the dental scope of practice during times of peace, relating to the poverty rate, gross domestic product (GDP) growth, and during times of public health emergency (SARS-COV-2 [COVID-19]). Dominant prior research suggests that a correlation is seen between the expansion of the dental scope of practice relating to natural disasters and public health emergencies.

Materials and Methods:

No evident prior data were found relating the scope of practice in relation to poverty rate and GDP growth. Analytical methods used include the composition of data with regard to biases or outliers present with statistical errors.

Results:

Major findings of the study suggest that dental scope of practice is increased as the poverty rate climbs higher in the United States. Findings also suggest the prime expansion of dentistry in states that have experienced substantial GDP growth in the past 5 years. Data also show that states with a larger urbanization index have better overall oral health.

Conclusion:

The agreement between the research shows and suggests that the practice of dentistry is expanded at times when Dentists are needed for their expertise and skills.
Early Assessment of Biodegradability of Small Molecules to Support the Chemical Design in Agro & Pharma R&D
Authors: Coll Claudia , Fenner Kathrin , Screpanti Claudio
Published: November 2023

The use of agrochemical and pharmaceutical active ingredients is essential in our modern society. Given the increased concern and awareness of the potential risks of some chemicals, there is a growing need to align with ‘green chemistry’ and ‘safe and sustainable by design’ principles and thus to evaluate the hazards of agrochemical and pharmaceutical active ingredients in early stages of R&D. We give an overview of the current challenges and opportunities to assess the principle of biodegradability in the environment. Development of new medium/high-throughput methodologies, combining predictive tools and wet-lab experimentation are essential to design biodegradable chemicals early in the active ingredient discovery and selection process.
Les cartes utopiques de Louis Marin
Authors: Fuk Giacomo
Published: November 2023

Dans son livre Utopiques : jeux d’espaces (1973), le philosophe Louis Marin (1931-1992) a traité de la topographie et de la cartographie en les mettant en rapport avec l’Utopie de Thomas More et avec la représentation de la ville entre les xvie et xviie siècles. Selon Marin, l’expansion du capitalisme, au début du xvie siècle, accompagne une séparation entre la représentation (cartographique, littéraire ou artistique) de la réalité et son investissement symbolique. Cette séparation rendrait possible l’utopie comme réflexion critique, au niveau imaginaire, sur la société capitaliste. La topographie utopienne est pour Marin le lieu privilégié de cette ambiguïté de l’utopie entre représentation idéologique et imagination critique. En passant de la topographie utopienne à la topographie de la ville réelle, Marin montre comment, entre 1500 et 1652, la représentation des villes reflète elle aussi ces transformations historiques : la représentation moderne de l’espace urbain présente un espace désymbolisé (le monde exploré, dominé, mesuré et rationnellement représenté du capitalisme mondialisé), mais, dans certaines de ses expressions, finit par proposer une resymbolisation imaginaire (altérité utopique) de ce même espace.

Photo-Oxidation of Methanol in Complexes with Pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine: a Nonadiabatic Molecular Dynamics Study
Authors: Jankowska Joanna , Sobolewski Andrzej L.
Published: November 2023

Excited-state Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer (PCET) constitutes a key step in the photooxidation of small, electron-rich systems possessing acidic hydrogen atoms, such as water or alcohols, which can play a vital role in green hydrogen production. In this contribution, we employ ab initio quantum-chemical methods and on-the-fly nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations to study the mechanism and the photodynamics of PCET in 1:1 pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine complexes with methanol. We find the process to be ultrafast and efficient when the intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed with one of the β-positioned nitrogen atoms. The complex exhibiting a hydrogen bond with an isolated nitrogen site, on the contrary, shows much lower reactivity. We explain this effect with the stabilization of the reactive ππ∗ charge-transfer electronic state in the former case.
Sequential separation and profiling of extracellular vesicles using antibody-aptamer conjugates
Authors: Brambilla Dario , Panico Federica , Unlu M. Selim , Chiari Marcella
Published: November 2023

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound vesicles secreted by cells, exhibiting diverse compositions reflective of their cellular origin. With significant potential as biomarkers for liquid biopsies, EV research has led to various isolation techniques. However, a consensus on the optimal strategy remains elusive. Immunoprecipitation, selectively capturing EVs based on surface markers, is promising but hindered by cost, low yields, and potential damage during release. In this study, we propose an innovative Antibody-Aptamer Conjugate: a three-component separation reagent for the separation of EVs. Combining an EV-specific antibody, a streptavidin-binding aptamer, and a unique barcode DNA sequence, this conjugate serves dual roles, facilitating both EV separation and subsequent multiplexed analysis. We detail the development and validation of the Antibody-Aptamer Conjugate, demonstrating its efficacy in isolating intact EVs from complex samples. The unique barcode DNA sequence enables high-throughput analysis on a DNA microarray chip, addressing limitations of existing methodologies. This approach offers a valid and cost-effective alternative for selective EV isolation and analysis, with implications for diagnostic and therapeutic advancements in liquid biopsy applications.

Published: November 2023

The synthesis of quaternary carbons often requires numerous steps and complex conditions or harsh reagents that act on heavily engineered substrates. This is largely a consequence of relying exclusively on conventional polar-bond based retrosynthetic disconnections that in turn require multiple functional group interconversions, redox manipulations, and protecting group chemistry. In fact, the presence of a quaternary center even in seemingly trivial structures can dominate the practitioner's entire retrosynthetic plan (referred to by Corey as a “keying element”). Here we report a simple catalyst and minimal reagents that convert two types of feedstock chemicals—carboxylic acids and olefins—into tetrasubstituted carbons via quaternization of radical intermediates. An iron porphyrin catalyst activates each substrate by electron transfer or hydrogen atom transfer then combines the fragments by an SH2 reaction. This cross-coupling reduces the synthetic burden to procure numerous quaternary carbon-containing materials from simple chemical feedstocks.

Published: November 2023

We present a comprehensive study investigating the potential gain in accuracy for calculating absolute solvation free energies (ASFE) using a neural network potential for the intramolecular energies. We calculated ASFE using the Open Force Field (OpenFF) and compared the results to previously calculated ASFEs employing the CHARMM General Force Field (CGenFF). By applying a nonequilibrium (NEQ) switching approach between the molecular mechanics (MM) description (either OpenFF or CGenFF) and the machine learning (ML)/MM level of theory (using ANI-2x as the ML potential), we attempt to improve the accuracy of the calculated ASFEs. The predictive performance of the results did not change when applying this approach to all 589 small molecules in the FreeSolv database that ANI-2x can describe. When selecting a subset of 156 molecules, focusing on compounds where the force fields performed poorly, we saw a slight improvement in the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The majority of our calculations utilized unidirectional NEQ protocols based on Jarzynski's equation. Additionally, we conducted bidirectional NEQ switching for the subset of 156 FreeSolv molecules. Notably, only a small fraction (10 out of 156) exhibited statistically significant discrepancies between unidirectional and bidirectional NEQ switching free energy estimates.

Molecular Gas Phase Conformational Ensembles
Authors: Das Susanta , Merz, Jr. Kenneth M.
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Accurately determining the global minima of a molecular structure is important in diverse scientific fields, including drug design, materials science, and chemical synthesis. Conformational search engines serve as valuable tools for exploring the extensive conformational space of molecules and identifying energetically favorable conformations. In this study, we present a comparison of Auto3D, CREST, Balloon, and ETKDG (from RDKit), which are freely available conformational search engines, to evaluate their effectiveness in locating the global minima. These engines employ distinct methodologies, including machine learning (ML) potential-based, semiempirical, and force field (FF) based approaches. To validate these methods, we propose the use of collisional cross section (CCS) values obtained from ion mobility – mass spectrometry (IM-MS) studies. We hypothesize that experimental gas-phase CCS values can provide experimental evidence that we likely have the global minimum for a given molecule. To facilitate this effort, we used our gas-phase conformation library (GPCL) which currently consists of the full ensembles of 20 small molecules, which can be used by the community to validate any conformational search engine. Further members of the GPCL can be readily created for any molecule of interest using our standard workflow used to compute CCS values expanding the ability of the GPCL in validation exercises. These innovative validation techniques enhance our understanding of the conformational landscape and provide valuable insights into the performance of conformation generation engines. Our findings shed light on the strengths and limitations of each search engine, enabling informed decisions for their utilization in various scientific fields, where accurate molecular structure determination is crucial for understanding biological activity and designing targeted interventions. By facilitating the identification of reliable conformations, this study significantly contributes to enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of molecular structure determination, with a particular focus on metabolite structure elucidation. The findings of this research also provide valuable insights for developing effective workflows in predicting the structures of unknown compounds with high precision.
Ni0(cod)(dq) (COD: 1,5-cycloctadiene; DQ: duroquinone) complex as a catalyst precursor for oligothiophene and polythiophene synthesis
Authors: Noda Naoki , Yamaoka Seiha , Ogi Ukyo , Horie Masaki , Okano Kentaro , Mori Atsunori
Published: November 2023

Nickel-catalyzed syntheses of oligothiophene and polythiophene were carried out with Ni(cod)(dq) (COD: 1,5-cycloctadiene; DQ: duroquinone) as a catalyst precursor. Studies on ligand exchange of Ni(cod)(dq) revealed that a high temperature was necessary to replace COD and DQ with PPh3 and N-heterocyclic carbene IPr. A coupling reaction of a meta-lated 3-hexylthiophene with 2-chloro-3-hexylthiophene employing Ni(cod)(dq) with IPr proceeded with a remarkably re-duced amount of homocoupling byproduct. Polymerization of 2-chloro-3-hexylthiophene with Ni(cod)(dq)/DPPP also re-sulted to reduce the regioregularity defect.
Seismic record of a long duration dispersive signal after the 15 January 2022 Hunga-Tonga eruption
Authors: Diaz Jordi
Published: November 2023

Data acquired by broadband seismic stations distributed around the world are used to document the exceptionally long duration signal from the tsunami-associated gravity wave that followed the January 2022 Hunga-Tonga eruption. The first arrivals of this wave, with a frequency of around 2 mHz, are recorded at the time the tsunami arrives to each station, but the highest recorded frequencies, which reach 40 mHz, arrive 5 days later at some sites, following the prediction of a gravity wave originating at the Hunga-Tonga region and traveling in deep water. This dispersive signal is detected in most of the stations located in the Pacific Ocean basin and its coasts, but also in the Indian Ocean, Antarctica, and some stations in North America located hundreds of kilometers from the coastline. The signal is compared with the data gathered after earthquakes that have produced large tsunamis, showing that the seismic records from the Hunga-Tonga eruption are very different. Following the hypothesis pointed out by Omira et al 2023, we propose that the origin of this exceptional characteristic is due to the interaction between the tsunami and atmospheric waves that travel a little faster.

RNA modifications, such as methylation, can be detected with Oxford Nanopore Technologies direct RNA sequencing. One commonly used tool for detecting 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modifications is Tombo, which uses an “Alternative Model” to detect putative modifications from a single sample. We examined direct RNA sequencing data from diverse taxa including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and animals. The algorithm consistently identified a m5C at the central position of a GCU motif. However, it also identified a m5C in the same motif in fully unmodified in vitro transcribed RNA, suggesting that this is a frequent false prediction. In the absence of further validation, several published predictions of m5C in a GCU context should be reconsidered, including those from human coronavirus and human cerebral organoid samples.
FINANCIAL ILLITERACY AS AN ECONOMIC THREAT
Authors: Scherbakova Tat'yana , Tishchenko Anna
Published: November 2023

The paper demonstrates financial illiteracy as an economic threat. The topic is relevant due to the fact that the debt load of the Russian population indicates low financial literacy. Polls and studies only prove this thesis. At the same time, the low level of financial literacy leads to economic problems throughout the state, and therefore the situation must be eliminated. At the end of the article, the author forms proposals that, when put into practice, are able to solve the identified problem.

Authors: Demétrio Milena , Godoy Wilson Itamar , Wallau Angelica Servegnini de , Simonetti André Luiz
Published: November 2023

A Agroecologia se apresenta como uma alternativa de produção de alimentos saudáveis diante do sistema agroalimentar hegemônico: industrializado, globalizado e dominante. Evidencia-se como um sistema alternativo, adotando um novo paradigma científico, baseado na ciência da complexidade, contrapondo-se ao pensamento mecanicista e determinista da ciência moderna. Nesse sentido, este artigo é resultado de um estudo que teve como objetivo identificar quais são os papéis desempenhados pela Agroecologia nos processos de Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável. Buscou-se: a) compreender a Agroecologia como um sistema de produção e como um novo paradigma da ciência; e, b) analisar os papéis desempenhados pela Agroecologia nos processos de Desenvolvimento Regional. O estudo se justifica pela necessidade de fomento ao debate sobre a transformação dos sistemas de produção de alimentos devido à perspectiva de insustentabilidade do modelo hegemônico que ameaça todas as formas de vida do planeta, bem como pela importância da discussão sobre as estratégias de Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável pautadas na valorização do espaço rural e da produção de alimentos saudáveis.

Published: November 2023

Sendo a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN) um aspecto multidimensional que visa a garantia do Direito Humano à Alimentação e Nutrição Adequadas (DHANA) na defesa de igualdade de oportunidades a todos, o planejamento de políticas públicas que promovam a sua garantia tornam-se potenciais instrumentos de promoção de um desenvolvimento inclusivo. Por meio de uma revisão sistematizada da literatura, o presente trabalho objetiva caracterizar a importância de políticas públicas promotoras de SAN frente a proposta do desenvolvimento inclusivo. Os resultados demonstraram que ao visar não apenas o combate à fome, mas também minimizar o efeito provocado por um processo de desenvolvimento econômico concentrador e socialmente excludente, as políticas públicas promotoras de SAN se tornam importantes instrumentos na promoção de um desenvolvimento inclusivo.
Development of Transmission Line Employing Graphene-silver Nanowire/PET Structure for Application in Flexible and Wearable Devices in X-band Wireless Communication Systems
Authors: Oh Hyun-Soo , Jeong Sooyeon , Yun Young , Jeong Seung Yol
Published: November 2023

In this study, we fabricated a coplanar waveguide using a novel graphene-silver nanowire composite structure (GNCS) on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and then investigated its radio frequency (RF) characteristics. According to the measured results, the coplanar waveguide employing GNCS exhibited a substantially lower loss of transmission line than conventional waveguides. Furthermore, compared to the conventional graphene-based coplanar waveguide, the proposed structure allowed for lower skin depth and higher conductivity, resulting from the high electric conductivity of the silver nanowire. In addition, repetitive bending tests, which were performed to investigate the electric stability of the graphene-silver nanowire, showed that the coplanar waveguide employing GNCS offered substantially better electrical stability than the conventional graphene-based coplanar waveguide. These results indicate that the graphene-silver nanowire structure is a promising candidate for application in flexible wireless communication systems. Notably, this is also the first study to investigate the RF performance and electrical stability of a graphene-silver nanowire/PET structure.

Authors: Rambe Rizka Sititah , Amra Ricca Nophia , Bancin Fitriani
Published: November 2023

Background:  According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016 nearly 9 million women died from cervical cancer. Public awareness to detect early the disease is low. Visual Inspection Acetate (VIA) test for cervical cancer is considered a taboo solution. Women feel embarrassed to carry out VIA examination. Research is lacking whether health education through communication media using WhatsApp groups is effective. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using WhatsApp group on knowledge about cervical cancer and VIA.
Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment with one group pre-test and post-test design, conducted at the Simpang Kiri Health Center in February 2023. A total of 98 women of reproductive age were selected for this study. The dependent variable was knowledge about cervical cancer and VIA. The independent variable was health education using WhatsApp group. The data were collected by questionnaire. The mean difference of knowledge before and after WhatsApp group education was tested by paired t-test.
Results: The mean score of knowledge about VIA after WhatsApp group education was higher (Mean= 16.61; SD= 3.24) than before (Mean= 11.35; SD= 1.69), and this was statistically significant (p = 0.011).
Conclusion: WhatsApp group education is effective to improve knowledge about cervical cancer and VIA among women of reproductive age.
Keywords: WhatsApp, education, knowledge, visual acetate inspection.

An in-depth qualitative interview study of female ambulance staff experiences of the menopause transition (CESSATION phase 3)
Authors: Brown Shona , Noakes Tessa , Foster Theresa , Prothero Larissa
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Menopause is a key workplace issue. Many women will experience symptoms through their later working life. The ambulance service constitutes an employment setting that, dependent on the roles of female staff, can impact on the severity of menopause symptoms and experiences
(Prothero et al., 2021). This study aimed to explore female ambulance staff experiences of the menopause transition and suggest ways to improve support offerings.Methods: A qualitative interpretive approach was adopted, involving 12 UK ambulance services. Participants were identified
via purposive sampling, and semi-structured interviews were conducted from February to July 2022 via an online platform or telephone. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and analysed using an inductive thematic approach.Results: Twenty-two female participants, aged between 42 and
62 years, were interviewed, and represented all phases of the menopause: peri-menopause (n = 9); menopause (n = 5); post-menopause (n = 3); and unsure (n = 5). Fourteen participants had front-line (patient-facing) or emergency operation centre-based roles, while seven were employed in service
support roles. Ten themes were identified: impact on work role; awareness and preparedness for menopause transition; personal impact of symptoms; desired support; appropriate sickness and menopause policy; managerial development; compassion and dignity; impact of working environment; impact
on safety; and lack of choice. Lack of understanding and support from colleagues and line managers were identified as the key issues. This is included under the managerial development and compassion and dignity themes.Conclusions: The varying range of menopausal symptoms and their
severity impacted on women’s performance at work. The experience of working while going through the menopause could be challenging. Employers should adopt a menopause policy which includes training and awareness for all staff, and suitable for front-line as well as service support staff.
There is a need to create a culture where the menopause is not taboo, and women feel able to talk about their symptoms.
Climate change and pavement burns in the United Kingdom: a case report of two patients
Authors: Whiting Emma , Karia Chiraag Thakrar , Tullie Sebastian , Nightingale Craig , Wilson Yvonne , Kay Alan
Published: November 2023

Pavement burns are more common in locations familiarised with high temperatures and a dry climate zone, but have not previously been reported in temperate climates. We present two cases of patients who suffered pavement burns in the United Kingdom during an unprecedentedly hot day in
July 2022. The first case involved a 66-year-old male who suffered partial and full thickness burns requiring excision and skin grafting. The second case involved a 58-year-old female with partial thickness burns also requiring excision and skin grafting. Both patients had pre-existing co-morbidities
and their pavement burns were precipitated by heat stroke. Pavement burns represent a mechanism of injury that necessitates increased operative management, length of hospital stay and cost per surface area burned when compared to flame or scald burns (Silver et al., 2015). As a result of global
warming, we anticipate extreme heat events, and subsequently pavement burns, to increase in incidence in the United Kingdom. There is opportunity for education of the public and health professionals for prevention.
Factors Affecting Readiness of Teachers in Distance Education and its Effect on the Learner's Performance
Authors: Escobido M
Published: November 2023

The main thrust of this study was to determine factors affecting teachers' readiness in distance education and its effect on the learners’ learning performance. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational approach in determining perceptions of the factors affecting teachers’ readiness for distance education. Moreover, the instrument utilized to gather data was a modified survey questionnaire. It was found that there is a significant relationship between learners’ learning performance and the perceived factors affecting teachers’ readiness for distance learning. Among the factors affecting teachers' readiness for distance learning, only the management of learning greatly influences learners’ learning performance. The researcher recommended that DepEd should boost the teachers’ attitude towards modular distance learning delivery modality by providing the needs of the teachers; school administrators should come- up with adequate training courses, webinars, seminars, and/or workshops should be provided to the teachers considering their teaching-learning needs in the new normal; teachers must be supported and guided to boost their varied teaching styles and weaknesses as they adjust into the new normal and should uplift their attitude more towards distance learning modality since they play a more significant part in its success and parents should also have to take part during this time of crisis, they should provide assistance and support to their child as they have this significant role to fill in as replacements to their teachers.
A agricultura brasileira após o Plano de Metas: a modernização agrícola sem reforma agrária (1961-1978)
Authors: Caminha Pedro Vilela
Published: November 2023

o artigo descreve o comportamento da agricultura brasileira entre 1961 e 1978. Seu objetivo é testar empiricamente a hipótese de que haveria uma quebra na tendência histórica de oito variáveis econômicas que podem influenciar a decisão do agricultor em adotar práticas agrícolas modernas de acordo com o modelo Paiva-Schultz: o preço e a produtividade do capital e do trabalho na agricultura, assim como o preço interno e externo e o consumo dos produtos agrícolas. Para isso, a metodologia de pesquisa é a técnica de análise de estrutura de quebra de séries temporais. Os resultados encontraram evidências empíricas de que no biênio 1963-1964 houve uma quebra na tendência histórica dessas variáveis e no final da década de 1970 uma melhora na elasticidade-preço da oferta agrícola de consumo interno. Essas transformações explicam o deslanche da modernização agrícola e – como o outro lado da mesma moeda – a obsolescência da reforma agrária no Brasil.

TTK da sigorta ettirenin sözleşmede öngörülen sigortalı olunan olayın gerçekleşmesine sebebiyet vermesi halinde sigorta tazminatının ve sigorta bedelinin ödenmesine etkisi düzenlenmiştir. Olayın ihmal veya kasıt ile gerçekleşip gerçekleşmediği
ve kusur oranı tazminatı etkileyen en önemli unsurlardır. Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nun 1429’uncu maddesinin 1’inci fıkrası göre “Sigortacı, aksine sözleşme yoksa sigorta ettirenin, sigortalının, lehtarın ve bunların hukuken fiillerinden
sorumlu bulundukları kişilerin ihmallerinden kaynaklanan zararları tazmin ile yükümlüdür” hükmü çerçevesinde “kusur” kavramının ne anlama geldiğini incelemek faydalı olacaktır. Kusur, hukuka aykırı davranmanın kabulü olarak ifade
edilebilir. Görünüş biçimleri ise kast ve ihmal olarak ikiye ayrılır. Kast, hukuka aykırı sonucun bilinmesi ve istenmesi şeklinde tanımlanırken ihmal, sonucun meydana gelme olasılığın gözealınması olarak tanımlanabilir. İhmal ağırlık
derecesine göre; ağır ihmal ve hafif ihmal olmak üzere ikili bir ayrıma tabi tutulmuştur. Burada ayıtedici husus, aynı durum ve şartlarda ortalama kişilerin göstermesi gereken, özen ve dikkati göstermemesi ağır ihmal; çok dikkatli
ve özenli kişilerin ise üzerlerine düşen ve kendilerinden beklenebilecek dikkat ve özeni göstermemeleri ise hafif ihmal olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nun 1429’uncu maddesi kapsamında sayılan kişilerin, sigorta
teminatı kapsamındaki olayın vukuunda kasdi davranışı veya ihmali davranışı önem arzetmekte olduğundan çalışmamızda bu ayrı düzenlemeleri inceleyeceğiz.

1936 yılının Kasım ayında konferanslar ve konserler vermek üzere Türkiye’ye gelen Bela Bartok çok sınırlı bir süre içerisinde araştırma ve inceleme çalışmaları da yapmıştır. Bartok’un Adana, Mersin, Ankara, Osmaniye yörelerinde derlemeler
yaptığı, en çok da Osmaniye yöresine ait derlemeler yaptığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu derlemelerin çoğunlukta olmasının nedeni olarak Türkmen Yörüklerinin bölgeye yerleşmiş olmalarına ve yazın Uzunyayla'ya göç eden bazı yörüklerin
kışlak olarak Toprakkale'yi kullanmış olmalarına dayandığı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma Bela Bartok’un Osmaniye yöresine ait derlemelerinin tarama yöntemiyle saptanmasını ve belirlenen kriterlere göre incelenmesini amaçlayan nitel
bir çalışmadır. Bu çalışma Bartok’un derlemeleri içerisinde sadece Osmaniye yöresinin derlemelerini kullanan ilk araştırma olup, bu alanda yapılacak çalışmalara katkı sağlaması amaçlanmıştır. Literatür taraması sonucunda Bartok’un
Türkiye’de derlemiş olduğu ezgi sayısının toplamda 87 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan tarama sonucunda bunların 39 tanesinin Osmaniye yöresine ait olduğu tespit edilmiş ve bu derlemelerin tamamına bulgular bölümünde yer verilmiştir.
Derlemeler makamsal dizi, yapısal form, ses aralığı ve ölçü sayısı yönünden incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda Osmaniye yöresinde derlenen bu ezgilerin ne denli zengin bir kültürel miras olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bela Bartok’un Osmaniye
yöresine ait derleme çalışmalarının yeni nesillere aktarılarak yaşatılması öneriler arasında yer almaktadır.

Seramik, kullanılmaya başlandığı ilk günden bu yana pek çok alanda insanların yaşamını kolaylaştıran bir madde olmuştur. Ayrıca gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte sağlıktan uzay sanayiine, sanatsal üretimden endüstriyel alana kadar çok
farklı sektörlerde aranan bir malzemedir. Endüstriyel sofra seramiği, seramiğin kullanım alanlarının en yoğun olanlarından biridir. İnsanların temel ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasına yardım eden ürünlerden biri olan sofra seramikleri,
dünyadaki bu alanda ortaya çıkan rekabetçi ortamdan etkilenmektedir. Sofra seramiği alanında söz sahibi olan her ülke bulunduğu coğrafyanın değerlerinden yararlanarak bu rekabetçi ortamda tutunmaya çalışmaktadır. Ancak sadece bulundukları
coğrafyanın değerlerini yeterli bulmayan ülke veya şirketler, farklı yöntemler geliştirmektedirler. Bu yöntemlerden biri STEAM yaklaşımıdır. STEAM, bilimin, teknolojinin, mühendisliğin, sanatın ve matematiğin holistik bir anlayış
ile niçin bir arada kullanılması gerektiğini ifade eden bir yaklaşımdır. Bu yaklaşımın sofra seramiği üretiminde nasıl, nerede ve ne düzeyde kullanıldığı bu araştırmanın gerekçesini oluşturmuştur. Bu gerekçeden hareket ile ilgili
literatür taranmış, uygulama örnekleri incelenmiş, endüstriyel anlamda geliştirilen ve ticarileşen uygulama örnekleri analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada hem genel tarama hem de nitel araştırma desenlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın
nitel boyutunda Kütahya ilinde bulunan Keramika firmasının üretim süreç ve yöntemleri, dekor ve form tasarımları incelenmiş; özgün olarak üretilen sofra seramiği üretim sürecindeki STEAM yaklaşımı gözlemlenmiş, fotoğraflanmış,
analiz edilmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Sofra seramiği üretimi yapan firmaların, bir ürünün başlangıcından son tüketiciye ulaşıncaya kadar geçen evresinde, işletmelerin kendisini geliştirebilmesini sağlamak için STEAM bileşenlerinin
birbirlerini nasıl olumlu etkilediği ve nasıl yararlanılması gerektiği bu araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlardan biri olmuştur. STEAM yaklaşımının endüstriyel alanda hem kavram hem de uygulama açısından nasıl gerçekleştirildiğine
dair uygulama örneklerinin analizi, gerçek yaşamda bu yaklaşımın nasıl uygulanabildiğinin gösterilmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu araştırmada ortaya konulan sofra seramiği örneklerinde olduğu gibi diğer sektörlerdeki uygulanma biçimlerinin
de literatüre kazandırılması için analizler yapılması ve bunların yaygın etkisinin arttırılması için yayınlara dönüştürülmesi gerekmektedir.
THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN NARCISSISTIC SELF DIMENSIONS AND TEMPERAMENT TYPES IN HEALTHY ADULTS

Sağlıklı bir narsisizm, doğuştan getirilen duygulanım potansiyelleri ile ilişkilendirilebilir mi? Bu konudaki tartışmalar süregitse de Jung, Kohut, Jacobson, Mahler gibi psikanalistler kuramlarını bu soruya olumlu yanıt vererek oluşturmaya
başlamıştır. Bu araştırmada, narsisizmin gelişimsel bir tanımını yapmış ve tedavi edilebilmesine önemli katkılar sağlamış olan Kohut’un Kendilik Psikolojisi kuramı temel alınarak afektif mizaç grupları içinde narsistik boyutların
dağılımları incelenmiştir. Kümeleme örneklem yöntemiyle araştırmaya dahil edilen 662 (361 kadın ve 301 erkek) sağlıklı yetişkin katılımcının narsistik kendilik boyutlarından aldıkları puanlar ile afektif mizaç puanları, t testi,
varyans analizleri, korelasyon tabloları ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon modelleri oluşturularak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Savunmacı Büyüklenmeci Narsistik Kendilik puanları, depresif mizaçtan %35.6, siklotimik
mizaçtan %17.4, anksiyöz mizaçtan %12.7 oranında pozitif yönde etkilenmektedir. Sağlıklı Büyüklenmeci Narsistik Kendilik puanları ise, hipertimik mizaçtan %38.6 oranında pozitif yönde, depresif mizaçtan ise %21.9 oranında negatif
yönde etkilenmektedir. Sonuçlar, narsistik kendiliğin büyüklenmeci boyutunun, doğuştan getirilen duygulanım potansiyelleriyle istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki içinde olduğunu göstermektedir. Hipertimik mizaç, kendiliğin sağlıklı
bir narsisizm düzeyinde gelişebilmesi için avantaj sağlamaktadır. Depresif mizaç ise bulgular doğrultusunda kendiliğin sağlıksız kutuplarda gelişmesine etki eden en yaygın faktör olarak değerlendirilebilir.

Authors: ŞİMŞEK Pınar
Published: November 2023

Bu derleme çalışmasında bir psikiyatrik bozukluk olarak geçen şizofreni hastalığında içgörü düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Son yıllarda arttığı görülen araştırma bulguları psikiyatrik bozukluklarda içgörü düzeyinin önemli
bir yeri olduğunu, şizofreni hastalığında içgörü düzeyinin önemli bir olması sebebiyle birçok araştırmaya konu olduğun görüldüğü ve bu bağlamda yapılan çalışmalar şizofreni hastalığında içgörü düzeyinin düşük olduğunu göstermektedir.
Bu çalışmada araştırmaların sonuçları kapsamında bir derleme çalışması sunulmuş olup araştırmalarda konu edinilen şizofreni hastalığında içgörü düzeyini etkileyen birçok olası sonucun ortaya çıktığı gözlemlenmekle birlikte şizofreni
hastalarında içgörü düzeyini belirleyen birçok faktörün ele alınması gerektiği belirtilmiştir. İçgörü düzeyinin alt boyutlarının araştırma konularında daha çok yer verilmesinin, içgörü ölçme yöntemlerinin genişletilmesinin çelişkili
sonuçların ortaya çıkmasını engelleyecek önemli kriterler olduğu gösterilmiştir.
