Published: June 2022

Hepatic portomesenteric venous gas is a rare condition. Although a CT scan can show hepatic portal vein gas, the intestine's condition can still be misdiagnosed at the very early stage. Accordingly, the decision to operate has to be made based on or after a physicial examnination and laboratory results.
In this report, we present a case of portomesenteric venous gas in which the gas was no longer discernible on the control CT scan, even though the patient developed peritonitis.
Keywords: portomesenteric venous gas, intestinal ischemia, peritonitis.

Mevlânâ Celâleddîn-i Rûmî Niçin Farsça Yazdı? Tarihî ve Sosyolojik Arkaplan
Authors: ŞENGÜN Necdet
Published: June 2022

Komşu iki dilin, Türkçe ve Farsçanın tarihî ilişkisi ve yakınlığı, bu iki dilden herhangi birini konuşan pek çok şahsın, ana dili dışında bu komşu dil ile eserler meydana getirmesini beraberinde getirmiştir. Fars asıllı bazı yazarların Türkçe yazdıkları gibi belki bundan daha fazla Türk asıllı bir çok müellifin Farsça eserler meydana getirdiği görülmektedir. Ne var ki Mevlânâ Celâleddîn Rûmî, ana dili Farsça olmasına karşın, Türkçe konuşan bir toplum içinde yaşamış ve onlara Farsça olarak hitap etmiştir. Durum bu merkezde olmasına karşın Mevlânâ’nın görüşleri ve felsefesi Türk halkı tarafından anlaşılmış ve benimsenmiştir. Bir çelişki gibi duran bu hususun sebepleri nelerdir? Mevlânâ Celâleddîn Rûmî Türk halkına Türkçe seslenmek yerine niçin Farsça seslenmeyi tercih etmiştir? İşte bu makalede bu sorulara cevaplar aranmıştır.
Lafızcı ve Gâyeci Yorum Metotları Çerçevesinde Benî Kurayza Hadisinin Tahlili
Authors: YILMAZ Ayşegül
Published: June 2022

Benî Kurayza hadisi, İslam hukuku ve usûl literatüründe genellikle lafızcı anlayışın meşrûluğuna bir delil olarak gösterilir. Rivâyete göre, Hz. Peygamber, Benî Kurayza Kuşatması öncesinde ashabına, ikindi namazını Benî Kurayza topraklarında kılma emri vermiş; sahabenin bir kısmı yolda ve vaktinde namaz kılarken bir kısmı vakit geçmesine rağmen Benî Kurayza’ya ulaşınca namazı kaza etmiştir. Aynı günün sonunda olay kendisine anlatıldığında, Hz. Peygamber bu iki farklı ictihadı da kınamamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ikindi namazını Benî Kurayza’da, vakti geçtikten sonra kaza eden sahabe topluluğunun, bu ictihadında bazı gâyeler gözetmiş olabileceğini ve onları lafızcılıkla ithâm etmenin doğru olmadığını ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma, zikredilen hadisin lafızcılığın tasdik delili olmaktan çıkarılması ve nasların doğru anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunması bakımından önem taşımakta, her çağda güncelliğini koruyan bir problem hakkında önemli bir tezi, delilleriyle birlikte dile getirmektedir. Çalışma amacını gerçekleştirmek için, hadisin ve hâdisenin zikredildiği ilk dönem kaynaklarının tamamı incelenmiş; lafızcı ve gâyeci metotlar çerçevesinde, Benî Kurayza hadisinin delâletleri ve sonraki dönemlerde hadis üzerine yapılan yorumlar analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada, Hz. Peygamber’in bu takririnin, lafızcılığı onaylama şeklinde anlaşılmasının, usûlen mümkün olmadığı ispatlanmıştır.
Bir Fıkıh Kitabının Kur’ân İlimleri Açısından Değerlendirilmesi (Cezîrî’nin el-Fıkh ala’l-mezâhibi’l-erba‘a Kitabı Örneği)
Authors: ERGÜN Mehmet
Published: June 2022

Tüm İslami ilimlerin kaynağı olan Kur’ân içerdiği ahkam ayetleri sebebiyle fıkıh kitaplarının da ilk başvuru kaynağıdır. Ahkam ayetleri denildiğinde ilk olarak akla ahkam tefsirleri gelse de fıkıh kitaplarında da sık sık ayetlere yer verilmektedir. Tefsir usulü ve fıkıh usulü konularının ortak paydaları bulunmaktadır. Ahkam tefsirlerini Kur’ân ilimleri açısından inceleyen çok sayıda araştırma olmasına rağmen fıkıh kitaplarını bu açıdan inceleyen çalışmalar az sayıdadır. Bu sebeple biz bu çalışmamızda bir fıkıh kitabını Kur’ân ilimleri yönüyle inceledik. Kitap olarak da Abdurrahmân el-Cezîrî’nin el-Fıkh ale’l-Mezâhibi’l-Erba‘a adlı kitabını tercih ettik. Bu kitapta ayetlerden hüküm çıkarılırken Kur’ân ilimlerinden sadece bazılarına değinildiğini ve onlara da yeterince yer verilmediğini, bazı ayetlerin bağlamından koparılmak suretiyle bir hükme delil olarak sunulduğunu tespit ettik.

Perichondritis auricularis: initial presentation of ANCA-associated vasculitis

A 74-year-old woman consulted with persisting fever, tenderness of the ear and renal failure. The initial examination showed a systemic inflammatory process of unknown origin and clinical signs of perichondritis. Inflammatory and renal function deterioration under antibiotic treatment justified auto-immune serology and a kidney biopsy, which resulted in the diagnosis of PR3-ANCA (antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) positive granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). The patient was treated with corticoids and rituximab, under which she made a slow but steady recovery.

In patients presenting with perichondritis and systemic inflammation, it remains important to include auto-immune diseases (such as GPA) into the differential diagnosis.

Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmanın ana çıkış noktası, mevcut fiziksel çevre ve değişen ekosistemin orta vadeli bir gelecekte varacağı noktada konut mekânlarının yeniden nasıl yorumlanacağı sorusuna dayanmaktadır. Olası bir gelecekte varılacak olan ekosistemin nasıl olabileceği, bu ekosistem içinde insanın ne şekilde varlığını sürdürebileceği, tüm bunlar kapsamında insanın en temel ihtiyaçlarından biri olan barınmaya yönelik problemlerin nasıl çözülebileceği soruları çalışmanın başlangıç aşamalarını oluşturmuştur. Bu kapsamda değişen ekosistemin varacağı nokta için distopik bir çevre atmosferinden yola çıkılarak, bu çevreye entegre olabilecek konut mekânına dair yapılabilecek çalışmalar sorgulanmıştır. Fiziksel çevreyi bir konsept olarak değerlendirme fikriyle birlikte konutun da net bir fiziksel tariften ziyade bir imge ve atmosfer ürünü olarak nasıl ele alınabileceği değerlendirilmiştir. Sonraki aşamada, gelecek kurgusunun bir öngörü niteliğinde oluşturulması ve öngörülen gelecek senaryosu içerisinde yer alacak olan kullanıcı ile konut mekânına yönelik önerilerin, bir katılımcı grubu ile yapılacak alan çalışması doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu sayede katılımcıların gerçekleştireceği, birbirinden farklı, olası gelecek senaryoları ve konut imgesi önerileri üzerinden bir değerlendirme yapma fırsatı doğmuş olacaktır. Birinci modülde distopya ve ütopya kavramlarına dair teorik altyapı sunularak katılımcılarla paylaşılan metin ve izledikleri film örneği üzerinden bu kavramlara yönelik analizlerini gerçekleştirmeleri beklenmiştir.

Educação e novas tecnologias: formação crítica em tempos de fake news
Authors: Santin Janaína
Published: June 2022

As tecnologias de informação e comunicação romperam com muitos paradigmas da modernidade, em especial ao inaugurar uma nova esfera pública produzida por uma sociedade em rede. As pessoas passam a interagir muito mais no meio virtual do que no meio real. Tais mudanças trazem muitos pontos positivos, como a capacidade de desterritorialização, a transmissão global de informações em tempo real e as facilidades no seu acesso. Não se usa mais da ideologia e seu convencimento através do argumento persuasivo, mas sim da imagem, do magnetismo e da fascinação produzida pelos meios virtuais, formando e conformando a opinião pública a partir desta nova esfera pública virtual. Porém, a desterritorialização provocada pela internet favorece a imobilidade dos indivíduos e a desilusão com o envolvimento social. Vive-se uma época de perda da experiência do coletivo, onde não é mais necessário encontrar-se presencialmente com o outro e buscar alternativas aos problemas sociais a partir de um diálogo aberto, plural, isonômico, livre de coerções e coações. Os algoritmos utilizados pelas novas tecnologias de comunicação e informação selecionam as notícias e acontecimentos a partir do interesse do usuário, o que favorece o desenvolvimento de posições extremistas e fechadas ao dissenso. E quando se pensa esta realidade aplicada à educação, por meio da internet os alunos possuem um “mundo” de informação a sua disposição, e a grande dificuldade se mostra, hoje, em selecionar e qualificar o que está disponível na web. Identificar o que é verdadeiro e o que é falso, o que tem qualidade e o que carece de fontes confiáveis. A partir desta constatação parte a problemática desta pesquisa, que pelo método hipotético-dedutivo pretende verificar como os mecanismos democráticos podem ser afetados pelas novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, as quais podem prejudicar o conhecimento e até mesmo manipulá-lo, dissuadindo a verdade e induzindo ao engano. E nesse contexto, as novas tecnologias e abordagens pedagógicas estão transformando o papel do professor em sala de aula, que cada vez mais passa a ser um mediador, um guia no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos, os quais em uma sociedade complexa deverão ser muito mais proativos do que no passado. É importante que as faculdades tenham disciplinas específicas que possibilitem a formação da consciência crítica e a compreensão dessa realidade que é imposta pela cultura atual: aprender a desmistificar as informações divulgadas de maneira massiva e acrítica pelas redes sociais. Aumentar canais de diálogo, de interface entre as disciplinas, de encontro com o outro, que é diferente e tem pensamentos diversos aos seus e, aos poucos, retomar algo que nunca deveria ter sido perdido: o gosto pelo debate de ideias, pela multiplicidade de pensamentos e pelo encontro em meio a tantos desencontros. Desenvolver uma educação para a pluralidade, para a solidariedade e para o sentido de pertencimento, que é realmente o que desenvolve a cidadania.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Case Study with Nursing Implications
Authors:   Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences, Binghamton University, Binghamton, NY USA, Romano-Helm Genevieve
Published: June 2022

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nontraditional cause of acute myocardial infarction found typically in younger women who have little to no cardiac risk factors. Once thought to be a rare disease process, there is now an increase in the diagnosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection because of improved awareness and education. Registered nurses play an important role in the identification and management of this young and otherwise healthy population. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, nurses can facilitate providing standardized care to these patients. This article presents a real-life case study of a patient who experienced the trajectory of diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of SCAD and the related nursing care implications.
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention as a Health Promotion Tool for Substance Use Disorders in Adults
Authors:   Tompkins County Mental Health, Bartone Anne , Van Patten Rosemarie ,   Siena College
Published: June 2022

Background: Substance-use disorders (SUDs) are a prevalent and destructive public health issue. Therefore, tools aimed at reducing/ preventing relapse are critical in promoting positive health outcomes. Objective and/or Significance of the Study: Mindfulness based interventions show promising results for a variety of issues/clientele, including adults with SUDs. One that is showing feasibility and efficacy in reducing/preventing relapse, thereby promoting well-being, is Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). Methodology: In addition to a literature review, this paper addresses role-specific information related to MBRP for SUDs. The six functional sub-roles include expert clinician, educator, counselor, collaborator, consultant, and researcher. Results: Nurses at all levels can utilize the techniques associated with this approach in their work with substance use disordered patients to help them stay in the present moment and be less impulsive when faced with triggers. Conclusion and Recommendations: MBRP for SUDs is considered one of the "third wave" interventions, has empirical support, and can be utilized after several weeks of training and practicing the techniques with ongoing supervision concordant to the patient. As an expert clinician, educator, counselor, collaborator, consultant, or researcher, nurses can promote MBRP as one of the methods shown to be effective when working with a SUD population.
Transalta Utilities Reporting System - A Management Tool
Authors: Guggenmoos Sig
Published: June 2022

A reporting system which provides budget status, unit costs and productivity measures can be an invaluable tool for utility managers. It permits managers to identify cost effective practises and anomalies occurring at the division level. It can expose gradations in productivity not detected by field observation. The savings from one identified poor practise may well pay the annual cost of operating the reporting system.
Constraints to Tree Growth Imposed by Urban Soil Alkalinity
Authors: Ware George
Published: June 2022

Soil alkalinity is commonly a limitation to tree growth in urban soils of the Chicago region. Associated chlorosis may sometimes be successfully treated, but longer term modification of the root environment is desirable. Selection and use of trees tolerant of soil alkalinity (calciphytes) are urgent needs. Planning a harmonious tree/site system requires simultaneous consideration of the limitations of both elements. Alkalinization of urban soils from runoff from concrete and limestone surfaces appears to be widespread.

Managing Wound-Associated Diseases by Understanding Wound Healing in the Bark of Woody Plants
Authors: Biggs Alan
Published: June 2022

New research findings have changed the way plant pathologists look at wound healing in the bark of woody plants. Research has shown that suberin in wounds has an important role in disease resistance. Its production is under genetic control and can be used to predict the susceptibility of breeding material to canker-causing microbes. In addition, studies on the influence of temperature and soil moisture have identified how these environmental factors affect the generation of new, suberized bark tissues. Management of woundassociated plant diseases through the improved understanding of wound responses may soon be a reality.
The Use of Seasonal Foliar Color Changes to Diagnose Stress in Eastern White Pine
Authors: Weaver Michael , Stipes R. Jay
Published: June 2022

Eastern white pine is one of the most popular landscape trees in the Eastern United States, and its decline has been observed by the authors for over 20 years in Virginia. To the arborist, landscaper, and tree owner this disease is very hard to detect in its early stages because of the complex nature and variability of the decline syndrome. It might be easier to maintain trees grown in conditions favorable to decline if a simple method could be used to detect and monitor the health of white pines. One such possible method would be to monitor seasonal foliar color fluctuations, since leaf morphology (size, shape, color) is a prime indicator of tree health. The authors have tested a color analysis method which is simple and inexpensive. When perfected this method might be useful to protect white pine from the latent stages of decline through its use in early detection in combination with methods to modify certain site stress factors.
Crown Density and Its Correlation to Girdling Root Syndrome
Authors: d'Ambrosio Robert
Published: June 2022

In 1983, 832 roadside trees, 690 Norway maples (Acer platanoides) and 142 sugar maples (A. saccharum) approximately 30 years old were surveyed in Eastchester and New Rochelle, N.Y. using 42 different entries per tree. Forty eight percent of these trees (400) did not exhibit any of the presently believed causes of girdling root syndrome (GRS), namely; planted too deeply or on raised grades, container grown or in restricted growing spaces. These trees were classified as atypical and divided into two groups; atypical with GRS 86% (343) trees and atypical without GRS 14% (57 trees). The 57 trees that had no GRS had four times the number of old wound-closure scars on their trunks and higher crowns. The results of this study suggest that early and periodical pruning of lower branches should be considered as a cultural control of GRS.
Effects of Ash Flower Induced byEriophyes fraxiniflora on Tree Vitality
Authors: Wawrzynski Robert P. , Ascerno Mark E.
Published: June 2022

The effect of ash flower gall (AFG) on green ash(Fraxinus pennsylvanica)vitality was assessed using root starch, diameter at breast height (dbh) and shigometry techniques. A chi-square analysis for root starch content versus gall density, indicated that root starch storage is independent of tree gall numbers. Percent change in dbh for the growing season was not affected by gall density (P=.261). In addition, percent change in electrical resistance and average electrical resistance over the growing season, were found to be independent of tree gall density (P=.O54, P=.8O7, respectively) in multiple regression analyses. Assuming the methods used are reliable vitality indicators, AFG has no significant affect on these parameters of tree health. These results can be used in public education programs to better inform persons about AFG which may reduce the demand for control measures for this problem.
Computer Assisted Management of Urban Trees
Authors: Wagar J. Alan , Smiley E. Thomas
Published: June 2022

Commercial programs for computerized management of urban trees now offer the ability not only to retrieve, display, and summarize inventory and work records but also to compute tree values, map tree locations, track costs, develop profiles showing species performance, and to forecast future workloads. Computers are suited to such tasks as analyzing cost effectiveness, matching trees to sites, and guiding pest control. Computerizing is a commitment in management philosophy more than in time and funds and will normally save money. Before computerizing, however, you need to know your management objectives, how available software will meet them, the time until benefits are realized, and how to code data for greatest effectiveness in organizing and extracting information.
Trunk Banding to Control Elm Leaf Beetle
Authors: Costello Laurence R. , Scott Stephen R. , Peterson John D. , Adams Carol J.
Published: June 2022

Elm leaf beetle (ELB) feeding injury was reduced by carbaryl trunk bands during a five-year study in northern California. The magnitude of injury reduction varied from year to year and appeared to be influenced by the proximity of untreated elms and yearly fluctuations in ELB populations. Banding one time per year using 1 % carbaryl (Sevin SL®) was as effective as banding two times per year with a 2% concentration. Trunk banding can achieve injury reduction levels nearly equivalent to foliar sprays and is less costly. With certain limitations considered, this technique can be a useful strategy in ELB control programs.
Rhododendrol and Susceptibility to the Bronze Birch Borer
Authors: Santamour Frank
Published: June 2022

Rhododendrol is produced in the inner bark of stressed and dying branches of most white-barked birch species by natural hydrolysis of the glucoside rhododendrin. Rhododendrol was identified by thin-layer chromatography and was synthesized by sodium borohydride reduction of the commercially available ketone. Mated female bronze birch borers (but not males or un-mated females) exhibited a short-range attraction to the synthetic rhododendrol. It is postulated that this compound may be the primary stimulus to oviposition in stressed trees with dying cambial tissue. Interspecific hybrids between rhododendrin-producing species (e.g. Betulapopulifolia) and the borer-resistant B. nigra, which does not contain rhododendrin, showed only traces of rhododendrol in hydrolyzed bark but produced another phenolic compound that was not found in either parent species. Studies of this unknown compound and further hybridizations with B. nigra to develop whiter-barked, borer-resistant birches are continuing.

The research done in previous studies only considered a dimensional or constructive effect. But the construct model cannot be expressed as a dimensional effect. Furthermore, the dimension connection cannot be defined as a construct effect. As a result, both levels should be subjected to hypothesis testing. Mobile banking usage model is measured using a composite model and a formative-formative type for second-order constructs, while customer satisfaction and loyalty are measured using a consistent partial least squares method (PLSc). The data were obtained from 400 students at Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University. The consequence of the dimensional effect shows that the influence of promotions, perceived usefulness, and perceived security has a substantial impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. For the construct effect, the 7Ps organize the mobile banking usage model well, which significantly impacts customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Published: June 2022

This research aimed to study the conditions for the success of the three excellent schools and use the findings to design a model for the development of excellent schools in Hunan, China. The quantitative data were gathered from the sample group of 392 teachers of the three schools, who filled out the 45-item questionnaires, while the qualitative data were from in-depth interviews with the three school principles. Quantitative data were analyzed by factor analysis, and qualitative interview data were analyzed by Grounded Theory. The findings from the questionnaire data analysis identified eight aspects that shaped a learning organization: 1) School policies and goals 2) Supportive Environment 3) Professional development 4) Collaboration 5) Strategies to adapt to changes 6) Leadership 7) Sharing vision 8) Information Technology. From the three principals’ interviews, six themes emerged: 1) Changes in all areas affecting education and Change-facing strategies 2) Choices of curricula and pedagogies 3) Successful ways to teacher development 4) Student preparation for the Future 5) Cooperation of all school stakeholders and 6) Focus on Innovations. Based on the findings, a recommended model for the schools which aim to become excellent schools has been proposed.
Memristor, Memcapacitor, Meminductor : Models and Experimental Circuit Emulators
Authors: Kebbati Y. , Allaume P. S. , Bennani Y.
Published: June 2022

Before 1971, the number of passive electrical components was limited to three: resistor, capacitor, and inductor. In 1971, Pr. Chua predicted the existence of a fourth element, called memristor, since it corresponds to a resistor with memory behavior. Several years later, the concept of memory circuit was extended to capacitors and inductors. This paper proposes mathematical models for mem-elements, validated by Matlab and experimental circuit emulators for memcapacitor and meminductor. The experimental results show a good fit between theory, Ltspice simulations, and emulation circuits.
A Study of the Impact of Iron Content on the Thermal Response of the sPP/Fe Composites
Authors: Al-Khazaal A. Z. , Ahmad N.
Published: June 2022

A set of syndiotactic polypropylene/iron (sPP/Fe) composite samples were manufactured with the extrusion technique to study the impact of iron content on the thermal behavior of sPP/Fe composites in the melt phase. The dosage of iron contents varied from 0 to 8%. Melting point (Tm), crystallization temperature (Tc), and thermal degradation temperature (Td) were measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) for each composite sample. Thermal temperatures (Tm, Tc, and Td) increased with increasing the iron contents due to the enhancement of the strength and thermal stability of the sample. This investigation is a validated fact that fillers (iron) alter both the macroscopic and microscopic properties of the polymer composites.
An Enhanced Visual Object Tracking Approach based on Combined Features of Neural Networks, Wavelet Transforms, and Histogram of Oriented Gradients

Published: June 2022

In this paper, a new Visual Object Tracking (VOT) approach is proposed to overcome the main problem the existing approaches encounter, i.e. the significant appearance changes which are mainly caused by heavy occlusion and illumination variation. The proposed approach is based on a combination of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs), Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features, and discrete wavelet packet transforms. The problem of illumination variation is solved by incorporating the coefficients of the image discrete wavelet packet transform instead of the image template to handle the case of images with high saturation in the input of the used CNN, whereas the inverse discrete wavelet packet transforms are used at the output for extracting the CNN features. By combining four learned correlation filters with the convolutional features, the target location is deduced using multichannel correlation maps at the CNN output. On the other side, the maximum value of the resulting maps from the correlation filters with convolutional features produced by the previously obtained HOG feature of the image template are calculated and are used as an updating parameter of the correlation filters extracted from CNN and from HOG. The major aim is to ensure long-term memory of the target appearance so that the target item may be recovered if tracking fails. In order to increase the performance of HOG, the coefficients of the discrete packet wavelet transform are employed instead of the image template. The obtained results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach.

Objective: The goal of this article is to present the current knowledge of Klinefelter syndrome and its impact on male reproductive function as well as the current treatment options. Methods: PubMed/Medline, WoS and Scopus were searched for articles indexed until November 2021. Text: Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal aberration with an additional X chromosome in males. This may adversely affect testicular growth and spermatogenesis, thus resulting in male infertility. Recently, new knowledge has appeared about the treatment of male infertility. Conclusion: Interdisciplinary approach enables early diagnosis and treatment of patients with Klinefelter syndrome. Assisted reproductive technology is essential for infertility treatment in patients with Klinefelter syndrome. Key words: disorders of spermatogenesis – male sterility – Klinefelter syndrome – assisted reproduction – aneuploidy – genetic testing

Objective: Analysis of maternal mortality in the Slovak Republic in the years 2007–2018. Methods: The analysis of selected maternal mortality data in the years 2007–2018. Results: In the years 2007–2018, 84 women died during pregnancy or within 42 days of the end of pregnancy – maternal mortality ratio was 12.57 per 100,000 live births. Direct maternal mortality ratio in this period was 4.64 (31 maternal deaths), indirect maternal mortality 6.74 (45 maternal deaths) and direct obstetrics death ratio was 11.38 per 100,000 live births. Pregnancyassociated but unrelated maternal death ratio was 1.19 (eight maternal deaths). The Slovak Gynecological and Obstetric Society revealed a 64% underestimation of maternal mortality data in comparison with routine statistical data. Conclusion: Maternal mortality ratio in the Slovak Republic was one of the highest in the European Union and was discordant with a good level of perinatal mortality. In the Slovak Republic, it is necessary to look for ways to reduce maternal mortality and improve data collection. Keys word: maternal mortality – maternal mortality ratio – direct obstetrics deaths – indirect obstetrics deaths – pregnancy-related deaths

Denaturalising Language Standardization: The Poetry of John Agard
Authors: ÜNLÜ Züleyha , DÜRÜKOĞLU Okaycan
Published: June 2022

This study discusses the use of poetry in language teaching by focusing on John Agard’s poems. The paper analyzes John Agard’s poems to enact resistant plurilingual pedagogies suggested by Flores (2013) across language classrooms. In this analysis, the study discusses that Agard’s poetry reacts to the emphasis on the standardized English used in those countries where English is spoken as the first language. Agard refuses to speak and write in a traditional structure of the English language, and his poems lay bare how the immigrants are marginalized and depicted as insufficient in terms of using proper English. Having experienced racism and discrimination in linguistic and social contexts, Agard deconstructs neoliberal and particularly Eurocentric ideas about language and culture. Hence, this study shows how the use of unconventional English in Agard’s poetry is exemplified and paves the way for language learners to creatively use English without being restricted by standard English ideologies. Additionally, the study shows how Agard’s poems could be used to enact resistant plurilingual pedagogies.
Models as Felicitous Falsehoods
Authors: Elgin Catherine
Published: June 2022

I argue that models enable us to understand reality in ways that we would be unable to do if we restricted ourselves to the unvarnished truth. The point is not just that the features that a model skirts can permissibly be neglected. They ought to be neglected. Too much information occludes patterns that figure in an understanding of the phenomena. The regularities a model reveals are real and informative. But many of them show up only under idealizing assumptions.

Como operam os modelos nas ciências humanas e qual seu impacto nas ações humanas? Esses são alguns dos questionamentos que dão ensejo às discussões propostas por Luiz Henrique de Araújo Dutra (2021) em sua obra Pragmática de modelos, cuja terceira edição, revista e ampliada, fora recentemente lançada pela Editora Agrya.
Models and Modeling in Science: the role of metamathematics
Authors: Krause Décio
Published: June 2022

The use of models of scientific theories should not be done without qualifications about the mathematics being used to build the models. This looks obvious, at least for logicians, but generally, it is not to the philosopher of science. Thus, some details about this point seem useful for both. Since any quick revision in the literature shows that in most cases, mainly after the raising of the semantic approach (to scientific theories), the models are taken to be set-theoretical structures, in discussing the issue we shall be concerned more with set theories, the locus where the play is usually developed (yet sometimes unconsciously).
