How Do Readers Approach Traditional Texts and Hypertexts? A Review on Reading Comprehension Models
Authors: Taky-eddine Omar , Madaoui Redouane
Published: May 2024

This review aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of different spectrums of comprehension processes that account for various reading situations. More specifically, this review sheds light on how readers approach and comprehend traditional texts and hypertexts by examining the reading comprehension models in both reading environments. To this end, three prominent comprehension models were reviewed with reference to reading traditional texts: the bottom-up model, the top-down model, and the interactive model. On the other hand, four prominent comprehension models were reviewed with reference to reading hypertexts: Kintsch’s and Van Dijk’s model, the construction–integration (C–I) model, the text and graphics model, and the navigation, integration and evaluation model.
CANGALHA DO VENTO: UMA LEITURA DA MASCULINIDADE NA PERSPECTIVA PSICOAFETIVA
Authors: Cruz Maria de Fátima Berenice
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a existência discursiva de três personagens masculinos da obra Cangalha do vento para detectar nos interstícios do texto como a hegemonia do discurso patriarcal, gerador da ideia de um corpo masculino forte e dominante se faz presente. Para isso, utilizamos como recurso metodológico a análise do discurso na perspectiva da teoria crítica e como base teórica os estudos sobre masculinidades, corpos dominantes, docilização do corpo e a noção de conserva cultural. Para consecução dessa análise, percorreremos de forma panorâmica os estudos de Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Durval Muniz com uma breve incursão no conceito de conserva cultural de Jacob Levi Moreno.
CLARICE LISPECTOR E LEA GOLDBERG: MULHERES, IMIGRANTES E JUDIAS
Authors: Chaimovicht Débora , Povoa Carlos Alberto
Published: May 2024

Este artigo sugere uma reflexão sobre o ser imigrante num país jovem e a busca da identidade nacional através da análise da obra de Clarice Lispector (Ucrânia- Brasil) e Lea Goldberg (Alemanha-Israel). Ambas as autoras, consideradas expoentes da literatura contemporânea brasileira e israelense, de origem judaica, imigrantes, mulheres, expressam em suas obras literárias de modo implícito e explícito a herança judaica, as raízes familiares ao lado de temas nacionais. Clarice e Goldberg enfrentaram desafios durante sua carreira, pois "lutavam" para serem reconhecidos como parte da nação, ambos os países na década de 30 e 40 do século XX passavam por um período de construção de uma identidade nacional e  enfatizavam o uso da língua nacional português e hebraico. Ambas as escritoras, representam um geração que desejava pertencer ao seu país, escrevendo no idioma português e hebraico, porém por um lado, suas obras revelam suas raízes e a herança judaica.
SOCIOLINGUÍSTICA E LÍNGUA ESPANHOLA: DIÁLOGOS E INTERFACES
Authors: Paiva Mota Fabrício , Silveira de Araujo Leandro , De Oliveira Pontes Valdecy
Published: May 2024

Ao apresentar os trabalhos de autores nacionais e estrangeiros, que discutiram aspectos diversos sobre variação e mudança na língua espanhola, o volume temático “Perspectivas sociolinguísticas sobre a língua espanhola”, publicado no volume 13, número 01 de 2020, não apenas preencheu uma lacuna dentro do hispanismo brasileiro, mas também colocou em evidência um campo profícuo, muitas vezes desapercebido pela divulgação científica brasileira em torno da língua espanhola. A fim de contribuir para a veiculação de trabalhos inseridos na Sociolinguística Hispânica, o presente volume temático, intitulado “Sociolinguística e língua espanhola: diálogos e interfaces” é evidência do sucesso mencionado, pois os 13 estudos inéditos apresentados nas páginas seguintes também surgem como resposta à chamada do volume temático anteriormente mencionado. Desse modo, com esta edição da Revista InterteXto, é mais uma vez possível se debruçar sobre trabalhos que permitem observar diferentes facetas dos estudos sociolinguísticos.
O ENSINO COMUNICATIVO DO LATIM COM FOCO NA INTERAÇÃO ENTRE A APRENDIZAGEM E O APRENDIZ
Authors: Lira David Pessoa de , Santana Rafael da Silva
Published: May 2024

Através dos Standards for Classical Language Learning, verifica-se que o problema do ensino-aprendizagem do latim ainda é um problema de ordem didático-metodológica. A priori, o focus no método centrado no conteúdo não apresenta nenhuma eficácia e acurácia na aprendizagem de todos os aprendizes. No entanto, o ensino comunicativo de línguas salienta que nenhuma metodologia é única ou técnicas podem ser prescritas concernente à competência comunicativa. A competência comunicativa do latim pelo aprendiz não pode ser tomada em termos absolutos, tampouco pode configurar unicamente competência linguístico-gramatical. O ensino comunicativo do latim tem o aprendiz como focus. Estabelecem-se padrões de aprendizagem por meio do aprendiz. Diferentemente do que se pode pressupor, os padrões não são currículos ou metodologias de ensino, mas um aporte de ensino-aprendizagem do latim. O presente artigo objetiva demonstrar como os aportes dos padrões de aprendizagem do latim podem reforçar o ensino comunicativo dessas línguas através do focus na aprendizagem e no aprendiz. Como referencial teórico, recorre-se a Gruber-Miller, Savignon e Gascoyne.
ESTUDO PALEOGRÁFICO DE ABREVIATURAS VISIGÓTICAS EM DOCUMENTOS LATINO-PORTUGUESES DO SÉCULO XI
Authors: Lennertz Marcotulio Leonardo , Cassim Rodrigues Guedes Millena
Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir aos estudos do período proto-histórico da língua portuguesa, a partir de uma investigação de natureza paleográfica sobre as abreviaturas visigóticas presentes em um texto medieval pertencente à documentação latino-portuguesa escrita no futuro território de Portugal: "Carta de venda feita por adosinda justiz a joão gondesindes e mulher ximena de uma herdade na vila de são vicente, território de lafões, pelo preço de 9 soldos de prata", de 1100, conservada no Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (ANTT). O estudo paleográfico das abreviaturas colabora com o processo de transcrição, edição e interpretação dos textos, além de contribuir diretamente ao desenvolvimento de estudos, com base na documentação remanescente, de estágios pretéritos da história da língua portuguesa que receberam pouca atenção por parte da literatura.

O GÓTICO E O NACIONAL NA OBRA ENCARNAÇÃO, DE JOSÉ DE ALENCAR.
Authors: Bichuette Stela de Castro , De Lara Franciele Fatima
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho mostra a apropriação feita pelo escritor José de Alencar (1829-1877), na obra Encarnação (1893), de alguns aspectos do gótico e de como essa apropriação contribuiu para a construção do romance no Brasil, do gótico nacional e da ideia do nacional. Assim, coloca-se esse estudo dentro da história do gótico no Brasil e desenvolve outra análise possível para o Romantismo alencariano dentro da historiografia literária brasileira. Para tanto, embasar-se-á em textos teóricos de pesquisadores como Vasconcelos (2002), Helena (2006), Menon (2007), Sá (2010), Pires (2011). O estudo divide-se em quatro momentos: (i) apresentação do contexto histórico sobre o gótico; (ii) o surgimento do gótico na literatura; (iii) Encarnação e sua análise pelo viés dos aspectos góticos e (iv) a construção do nacional dentro do romance alencariano. A partir do confronto com outros romances alencarianos e com a série literária, mostrou-se como José de Alencar fez o uso dos elementos góticos, apontando como exemplos algumas passagens da narrativa e de como o escritor organiza o projeto de construção do nacional em seu romance e do Romantismo brasileiro. Desse modo, afirma-se que Encarnação (1893) traz em sua narrativa alguns aspectos do gótico e do nacional.
NA FALA DE NÓS NÃO SE USA NOSSO: UMA ANÁLISE VARIACIONISTA DO POSSESSIVO DE PRIMEIRA PESSOA DO PLURAL NA COMUNIDADE BAIXIO/SÃO JOSÉ DO PIAUÍ-PI
Authors: De Sousa Valdisneia Lucia , Lopes Iveuta de Abreu
Published: May 2024

Neste trabalho, abordamos um fenômeno da fala de uma comunidade rural, trata-se da substituição do pronome nosso pela expressão de nós. Temos por teoria base a Sociolinguística Variacionista e objetivamos investigar o uso da expressão de nós na fala dos habitantes da comunidade de Baixio, a partir da identificação dos fatores que condicionam o uso dessa expressão, das variáveis linguísticas e sociais que condicionam esse uso, além da análise do contexto morfossintático em que os falantes da comunidade utilizam tal expressão. Realizamos uma pesquisa de campo, na qual fizemos gravações com 32 informantes, levando-se em consideração a faixa etária, a escolaridade e o gênero. Os resultados mostram que os falantes mais jovens, do gênero masculino e com escolaridade tendem a utilizar a expressão de nós mais que o possessivo nosso e mais ainda que a forma da gente. Quanto aos aspectos sintáticos, a função sintática é determinante para o uso das variantes, pois algumas funções sintáticas só podem ser exercidas por termos preposicionados, inibindo o uso do nosso. Quanto a anteposição e a posposição da variante ao elemento com o qual se relaciona, a variante nosso pode figurar nas duas posições, já as formas de nós e da gente podem aparecer apenas na posição posposta. Para a realização do trabalho, nos baseamos em autores como Monteiro (2000), Tarallo (2003), Naro (2004), Alkmim (2012), Camacho (2012, 2013), Labov (2008), Bagno (2017), Votre (2017) e outros.
LEITURA CRÍTICA DE TIRINHAS: ENFRENTANDO A INTOLERÂNCIA RELIGIOSA
Authors: Simplicio da Silva Aline , Gomes Jaciara Josefa
Published: May 2024

Reconhecendo o foco do ensino de Língua Portuguesa no texto como ponto de partida e chegada (BRASIL, 1998), discutimos nesse artigo a inserção da leitura crítica do gênero tirinha, a partir de uma intervenção pedagógica realizada como parte das ações/pesquisas do PROFLETRAS. Nesse contexto, a temática foi fundamental pois a intolerância religiosa também está na ordem do dia na sociedade brasileira e a escola não pode se furtar a refletir sobre questões tão caras à formação cidadã. Posto isso, a reflexão aqui proposta se baseia nos postulados do texto (Antunes (2010); Cavalcante (2017); Costa Val (1999); Kleiman (2006); Marcuschi (2008); Silva (2018)), bem como do discurso na perspectiva da análise crítica, mais especificamente no que concerne à interdiscursividade (Fairclough, 2001; Resende e Ramalho, 2013). No que se refere à importância do gênero tirinha para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, recorremos às contribuições de Mendonça (2002) e Santaella (2012). Além disso, alguns autores contribuíram para nossa compreensão acerca da temática da intolerância religiosa, bem como do uso do humor para dar sutileza no trato com a temática (Bourdieu (2007); Cirne (1982); Eco (1998); Magalhães (2010); Ramos (2017); Silva (2011)). A pesquisa apresentada nesse trabalho, mostra que desenvolver práticas de leitura que priorizem o pensar sobre temáticas de relevância social é imprescindível para a minimização de preconceitos.
CRENÇAS E ATITUDES LINGUÍSTICAS: EM BUSCA DA PEDAGOGIA DA VARIAÇÃO LINGUÍSTICA NO ENSINO DE LÍNGUA ESPANHOLA
Authors: Mantoani Vanessa Cruz , Almeida Baronas Joyce Elaine de
Published: May 2024

Pretende-se, no presente estudo, discutir alguns desafios sociolinguísticos enfrentados pelos professores de Língua Espanhola no Brasil e promover uma reflexão sobre a necessidade de uma Pedagogia da Variação Linguística em aulas de Espanhol. Tendo em vista a realidade sociolinguística hispânica, conforme apresentada por Moreno Fernández (2017), buscou-se alicerce nos pressupostos da Sociolinguística Educacional (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2005), mais especificamente nos estudos relacionados a crenças e atitudes e analisaram-se respostas a questionário elaborado a fim de identificar crenças e atitudes de professores de Língua Espanhola de escolas do Paraná. Embora os dados apontem para uma compreensão da necessidade de abordagem de variedades do idioma, contataram-se ainda algumas crenças que dizem respeito à preferência por determinada variedade, considerada “mais bem compreendida” em detrimento das demais. A partir da reflexão a respeito dos dados obtidos, defende-se, a necessidade de se colocar em prática a Pedagogia da Variação Linguística, proposta por Faraco (2008), com o objetivo de minimizar e/ou desconstruir crenças e atitudes linguísticas (CYRANKA, 2007; 2014; 2016) relacionadas à abordagem das variedades linguísticas da Língua Espanhola.
ANÁLISE ACÚSTICA DA VOGAL /e/ NO ESPANHOL DA FRONTEIRA JAGUARÃO/RIO BRANCO

O presente texto apresenta os resultados da pesquisa cujo objetivo foi o de comparar se falantes nativos do espanhol uruguaio, que tem o português brasileiro como segunda língua, realizam a pronúncia da vogal [ε] em contextos em que não estejam posicionadas antes das consoantes [r] e [X] ou do ditongo [eI]. Foram gravados quatro informantes: três deles têm o espanhol como língua materna e o português como segunda língua e o outro tem o português como língua materna e o espanhol como segunda língua. O principal resultado obtido com este estudo foi o de que, diferentemente do que apontam estudos anteriores, identificamos, através de análise acústica, a realização da vogal [ε] em contextos diferentes daqueles apontados pela literatura.
Faces de Clarice Lispector
Authors: Souza Pedro Thiago , Albuquerque Gabriel Arcanjo
Published: May 2024

Nesse trabalho propomo-nos a comparar a configuração literária das biografias “Clarice uma vida que se conta” de Nádia Battella Gotlib e “Clarice,” de Benjamin Moser, em cujas obras os autores assumem a complexa tarefa de narrar a vida de Clarice Lispector, organizando depoimentos, documentos e outros registros de forma a criar, consciente ou inconscientemente, uma personagem passível de análise, sem que para isso busquem a veracidade dos fatos narrados. Empregamos como quadro teórico as ideias propostas por Leonor Arfuch na publicação “O espaço biográfico” no qual a autora cria, por meio de estudos da linguagem e sociológicos, um espaço para o estudo biográfico que vai dos biografias canônicas até as formas mais contemporâneas de narrar a vida. Como resultado desse estudo, verificamos que as vivências e relatos narrados nas mencionadas biografias são passiveis de análise, por meio da configuração literária, e que temas referentes à intenção do biógrafo influenciam no ato de narrar a vida do artista. Esta investigação é realizada pelo proponente desse trabalho como pesquisador de iniciação científica, executada na Universidade Federal do Amazonas e orientado pelo professor doutor Gabriel Arcanjo Santos Albuquerque.
Um estudo comparado sob a perspectiva da mudança do narrador entre o romance “O continente I”, de Érico Veríssimo e a narrativa fílmica “O tempo e o vento”, de Jayme Monjardim
Authors: Souza Nathan Bastos de
Published: May 2024

Este ensaio busca estudar comparativamente a perspectiva da mudança de narrador entre o romance de Érico Veríssimo “O continente I” e a narrativa fílmica “O tempo e o vento”, de Jaime Monjardim. Para tanto, recolhemos alguns trechos que indiciam que o romance sugere a interpretação dada pelo diretor do filme, isto é, que Bibiana é uma potencial onipresença. Assim, podemos afirmar que de um narrador onipresente para um narrador personagem, respeitando as especificidades de cada obra, os sentidos de cada discurso muda, mas permanece, ainda que com ar novelesco, o tom de grandeza que a obra de Veríssimo exige.

DeFi, a blockchain-based innovation, eliminates traditional financial intermediaries, offering direct peer-to-peer financial transactions and access to a wide array of financial services including lending, borrowing, insurance, and investment opportunities. This paper delves into how DeFi democratizes access to financial resources, particularly for the underserved and unbanked populations worldwide, by reducing transaction costs, enhancing transparency, and providing secure and equitable access to financial services. Through a citizen-centric lens, this article contributes to the ongoing dialogue on leveraging DeFi for global financial inclusion, suggesting pathways for integrating DeFi into the broader financial ecosystem in a manner that maximizes its inclusivity and benefits for all citizens.
Destination brand identity as a mediator between accessibility and tourist perception: Promoting Bama Yao as potential wellness tourist destination in China
Authors: Yan Linwei , Alagas Elangkovan Narayanan , Jambulingam Manimekalai , Wang Lei
Published: May 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of accessibility and destination brand identity on Chinese wellness tourist perceptions. It considers Bama Yao autonomous district’s growth towards longevity tourism and contributes to empirical work on the Chinese wellness tourism market. This quantitative research incorporated a post-positivism paradigm with the non-probability convenience sampling method to collect paper-based questionnaires: a total of 346 were coded for data analysis. The results demonstrated that accessibility positively influenced destination brand identity and tourist perceptions. Equally destination brand identity positively influenced tourist perception. Meanwhile, destination brand identity mediated the relationship between accessibility and tourist perception for wellness tourism destinations. However, the cross-sectional study’s results cannot be generalizable, and the sample may be one of its limitations. The present study provides policymakers and practitioners with the theoretical and practical basis to understand and predict tourists’ perceptions of wellness tourism destinations in China.
Determination of reinforcement diameters of reinforced concrete deep beams with genetic algorithms
Authors: Kaya Mustafa
Published: May 2024

Genetic algorithms, a stochastic research method, emerged by adapting the development process of biological systems to the computer environment. Operations carried out in genetic algorithms are performed on units stored in computer memory, similar to natural populations. Today, many linear or nonlinear methods have been developed for the solution of optimization problems. Since genetic algorithms are heuristic, they may not find the optimum result for a given problem. However, it gives very close to optimum values for problems that cannot be solved by known methods or whose solution time increases exponentially with the solution of the problem. Genetic algorithms are initially applied to nonlinear optimization problems. In this study, a genetic algorithm was applied to the single-span beam, a single-span beam with a gap in its body. While applying to the genetic algorithm the problems developed back-controlled selection, randomly mixed crossover, double-sensitivity mutation operators, and backward-controlled stopping criterion were used. As a result, developed genetic algorithm operators were applied to the too-big-sized beam problems. These beams' dimensions were too big but they weren’t deep beams according to ACI 318-95 rules.
Keywords: Deep beams; genetic algorithms; reinforcement diameters; selection Operator.

Authors: Lafcı Tor Dürdane , Derin Sümeyye
Published: May 2024

In the study, it was aimed to test the effectiveness of the Gender Inequality Sensitivity Training Program Based on Active Learning, which was prepared to develop sensitivity to gender inequality. The research was conducted with 26 participants studying in the Guidance and Psychological Counselling department of a university in the Central Anatolia Region in the 2019-2020 academic year. This study is a mixed-method research. In the quantitative part of the research, a quasi-experimental application was conducted with a 2x2 pre-test-post-test control group. In the qualitative part, the activity products and assignments obtained during the training were evaluated. The quantitative data of the research were collected through the Attitudes towards Gender Roles Scale and Personal Information Form, and the qualitative data were collected through the activity products and assignments obtained during the training. A 12-week-long Gender Inequality Sensitivity Training Program Based on Active Learning was applied to the experimental group. The findings showed that the training program increased the gender roles total attitude scores and traditional gender role scores of the experimental group participants significantly. In addition, after the experimental procedure, it was determined that there was a significant difference in favour of the experimental group regarding the total score, female, traditional, and male gender role sub-dimensions between the experimental and control groups. Qualitative findings showed that the program increased participants’ awareness of gender issues.
COMPETING DISTRIBUTIONS OF NOMINAL DIMINUTIVE SUFFIXES IN SLOVENIAN: DO NATIVE SPEAKERS’ PREFERENCES REFLECT CORPUS DATA?
Authors: Pažon Blaž , Bregar Vesna , Lukman Klaudija
Published: May 2024

The purpose of our experiment was to study the relationship between corpus data and native speakers’ preferences regarding word form variation. Specifically, we investigated how well corpus frequency distributions of masculine nominal diminutive suffixes would be reflected in the preferences of native speakers of Slovenian when choosing suffixes to form diminutives. Based on similar research conducted by Makarova (2014), we expected native speakers’ preferences to be in line with corpus distributions. Our stimuli were 33 masculine noun bases, and the diminutive suffixes observed were grouped into four categories -(č)ek, -ič, -iček, and -(e)c. We consulted Gigafida 2.0, the largest corpus of written Slovenian, to obtain frequencies of attestations for each of our target nouns with each of the diminutive suffixes. The most attested diminutive suffix category for each noun was dubbed its expected suffix. With an offline experiment we collected responses from 70 native speakers of Slovenian, who were tasked with transforming nouns in their base form into diminutives within sentence contexts. Our goal was to test whether native speakers would assign the expected suffix to the noun bases more often than some alternative suffix. The results indicated the number of expected responses exceeded the number of non-expected responses. The difference, however, was subtle, and closer examination of individual noun bases revealed a considerable variability in the shares of expected responses. Further analyses investigated potential predictors of suffix choices, including animacy, length, and expected suffix. Linear regression analyses showed the expected suffix category significantly predicted the proportion of expected responses. Notably, the suffixes -(č)ek and -(e)c emerged as significant predictors of the share of expected responses. The reasons for this variation, including the influence of the corpus characteristics, are discussed, and potential avenues for future research are suggested.
THE CLITIC LI AT THE SYNTAX-PHONOLOGY INTERFACE: AN EXPERIMENTALLY INFORMED ACCOUNT
Authors: Marelj Marijana , Bosnić Ana , Spitzers Myrthe
Published: May 2024

Among Serbo-Croatian (SC) clitics, the interrogative li seems to be unique in showing a peculiar type of sensitivity with respect to the type of host it cliticizes (on)to. Whereas li is unproblematically hosted by a finite verb, when hosted by an l-participle, the outputs are treated as fully ungrammatical. Be it in syntax or in phonology, current accounts in the literature overgenerate by predicting the ungrammatical constructions to be grammatical, and undergenerate by predicting grammatical outputs in SC to be ungrammatical. Moreover, native speakers’ judgements regarding the l-participle li construction suggest a more gradient judgment than standardly assumed in the literature. We present results of a large-scale experiment undertaken not only because of the unclarities regarding the acceptability judgments we encountered for l-participle li, but, first and foremost, because of the lack of prior empirical investigations or established baseline of acceptability in the domain that has, otherwise, been a prolific and important domain for theorizing in SC. On the theoretical side, we argue that the crux of the solution is not due to the defectiveness of li (as previously argued), but due to the [-finite] nature of participles. Testing our hypothesis against the data obtained in a systematic manner, we further demonstrate that the gradedness in (un)grammaticality judgments are accounted for by analyzing the interplay as well as the tensions that arise at the syntax-phonology interface.

Abstract
This study examines the endowment fund-rising program organized by Islamic organization Muhammadiyah in Pontianak. This qualitative study was based on fieldwork in that town where the data gathered through observation, interview and documentation and analyzed descriptively and critically. This study shows that the fund-rising method adopted by Muhammadiyah is in general the same to the principle and method laid down in the procedure of endowment in Indonesia. However, the study reveals distinct characters of fund collection and distribution by the organization. The product of the fund is used to support education, social need/public welfare and health. In the field of education, the fund of the endowment is distributed in the form of scholarship or fellowship to poor students. In terms of social welfare, part of the fund is taken to subsidize a number of shelter-house for orphanage, poor kids and unattended children. All these examples suggest that the use of endowment fund in Muhammadiyah of Pontianak is flexible and dynamic.
Güney Kırım Tatar Türkçesinde Düğün Terminolojisi
Authors: Er Elvina
Published: May 2024

Öz: Kırım Tatar Türkleri, tarihte çeşitli Türk boylarının ve Türk dışı unsurlarının yüzyıllar içinde birleşimi neticesinde meydana gelen Kırım Yarımadası’nın homojen ve asli unsurudur. Bu Türk boyunun homojen yapısı, kültürünün ve dilinin zenginliğini ve çeşitliliğini arttırmıştır. Bunun neticesinde bugün Kırım Tatar Türkçesi tarihî Oğuz ve Kıpçak Türkçelerinin özelliklerini bir arada barındıran Türk lehçelerinden biridir. Coğrafi konumundan dolayı özellikle Kırım’ın güney bölgesinde kültürel ve dilsel açıdan Oğuz Türkçesinin etkisi büyük olmuştur. Bu nedenle Türk dili tasniflerinde bu bölgenin ağızları Kırım Tatar Türkçesinin diğer ağızlarından ayrı bir grupta değerlendirilmiştir. Bu makalede hem Kırım’ın güney bölgesinin düğün terminolojisi tespit edilmeye hem de bu bölgedeki her iki tarihî lehçenin etkisi ve modern Türk lehçeleriyle bağları tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmadaki tespitler Kırım’ın güneyinde yer alan Balaklava, Aluşta, Yalta, Sudak, Karasubazar ve Bahçesaray’a bağlı köylerdendir.
Anahtar kelimeler: Güney Kırım Tatar Türkçesi, Oğuz Türkçesi, toy, düğün, terminoloji.

Abstract: Crimean Tatars are the homogeneous and essential element of the Crimean Peninsula, which emerged as a result of the combination of various Turkish tribes and non-Turkish elements over the centuries. The homogeneous structure of the Turkish tribe increased the richness and diversity of its culture and language. As a result, today Crimean Tatar language is one of the Turkish dialects that combines the characteristics of historical Oghuz and Kipchak Turkish. Due to its geographical location, Oghuz Turkish has had a great cultural and linguistic impact, especially on the southern region of Crimea. For this reason, the dialects of this region are evaluated in a different group from other dialects of Crimean Tatar language in Turkish language classifications. In this article, we tried to determine the wedding terminology of the southern region of Crimea and to determine the influence of both historical dialects on this region and their ties with modern Turkish dialects. The findings in the study are from the villages of Balaklava, Alushta, Yalta, Sudak, Karasubazar and Bahçesaray, located in the south of Crimea.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obesity are prevalent public health concerns with grave implications for morbidity and mortality, necessitating tailored interventions. This research explores the utility of fuzzy c-means clustering paired with principal component analysis (PCA) in detecting at-risk groups and personalizing health strategies for these conditions. Fuzzy c-means clustering allows for the dynamic classification of individuals into groups based on unique risk factors and intervention outcomes, while PCA aids in distilling complex data sets to uncover underlying patterns. The conjoined use of these methods has shown promise in identifying diverse risk profiles and in forecasting intervention success rates. The study acknowledges limitations, including possible biases stemming from data set composition and analytical parameter selection. Future research aims to refine these tools for clinical application. The results support implementing fuzzy c-means clustering and PCA for delineating specific target populations for health interventions, emphasizing careful use of these analytical approaches. Subsequent studies should focus on correlating these techniques with concrete clinical results to enhance public health measures.
A Distributed Computational Model for Estimating the Carbon Footprints of Companies
Authors: Charpentier Francis , Meunier François
Published: May 2024

A new approach based on input-output (IO) analysis has emerged to estimate the carbon footprints of companies and their products from cradle to gate. While they rely on the same principles as the GHG Protocol, they use a distributed iterative framework to improve the footprint estimations and reduce their uncertainty. While optimal estimations would result if all the world’s companies would enter such a system, this paper shows how such a distributed system could apply to the real world where many enterprises would stay out of the system. We show how it would increase the quality of the estimations with respect the GHG Protocol by integrating scope 1 and scope 2 data of the value chains in the footprint estimations and reducing the part of remaining scope 3 data. To help analyzing uncertainty, we show how to use the scope 1/2/3 decomposition to estimate the biases and the standard deviations of the computed production intensities. We illustrate the model on macroeconomic data for 44 sectors and two regions (Europe and Rest of World), using the Inter-Country Input-Output database (ICIO). Such a system would necessarily rely on Information and Communication Technology since the companies would be permanently interconnected in a large-scale meshed network, using an application protocol for data exchange.

Objective: Daratumumab (Dara) is the first-in-class human-specific anti-CD38 mAb approved for treating multiple myeloma (MM). However, DARA-induced depletion of CD38high natural killer (NK) cells results in crippled antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), which limits its clinical detection and prediction for Dara efficacy. Therefore, we aimed to explore new NK subsets that could predict Dara efficacy and the underlying mechanism in Dara development.
Methods: Multicolour spectral flow cytometry monitored changes in the immune cells of 13 paired RRMM patients. We used machine learning-driven clustering, FlowSOM (Flow Self-Organizing Maps), and dimensional reduction with tSNE (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding) to identify unique cell populations pre- and posttreatment. Then, in vitro, fratricide and proliferation assays were performed to explore the function of new NK subsets against MM under Dara treatment.
Results: The NK cells were divided into 25 subsets, among which we found that the percentages of KIR-NKP46+ NK cells decreased in paired RRMM patients compared to healthy controls but increased significantly post-Dara treatment. The fold change in KIR-NKP46+ after one dose of Dara treatment can predict whether the best response could be achieved within one month (ROC=0.86, p=0.011). Further in vitro experiments showed that KIR-NKP46+ NK cells are superior to KIR+ NK cells, cooperatively acting with daratumumab to sustainably eradicate MM cells. Meanwhile, apoptosis was significantly decreased, and the proliferation ability was relatively increased post-Dara treatment.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the fold change in KIR-NKP46+ NK cell subsets after one dose of Dara treatment can predict the outcome of the curative effect, indicating a putative role of KIR-NKP46+ subsets against MM cells. The mechanism attributed to a relative expansion of the subset due to decreased apoptosis and increased proliferation ability.

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common multifactorial disease, but high-risk PE s a life-threatening condition associated with high mortality and morbidity and a heavy prognostic burden. Systemic thrombolysis is the first-line treatment approach for severe high-risk PE, but only few agents are indicated for use by international guidelines. Tenecteplase, a thrombolytic agent, is proven to reduce mortality and right ventricle dysfunction in high-risk PE, but is not approved yet by major recommendations.
Aim: We present a series of cases of high-risk PE treated with Tenecteplase, with satisfying hemodynamic and clinical outcomes. Our goal is to encourage the usage of Tenecteplase with secure safety and efficacy in situations of unavailability of guidelines-approved fibrinolytic agents.
Cases : Patients were included from January 2022 to January 2024. We report 3 cases of patients with high-risk PE treated with Tenecteplase where rtPA and other second-generations agents were not available. Clinical, biological and imaging data were detailed for each case.
Conclusion: Tenecteplase was effective in our patients, without bleeding complications, and should be suggested in settings of unavailability of first-line recommended agents.

Vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) was covalently bonded onto graphene oxide. Several methods, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, were used to demonstrate the presence of VTES on the surface of graphene oxide and the creation of this covalent link. Following that, different quantities of the resultant vinyltriethoxysilane functionalized graphene oxide (VTESFGO) were mixed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form VTESFGO/PVA nanocomposite films (NCFs) with a 3-dimensional network structure. The creation of these NCFs and the presence of a three-dimensional network were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The three-dimensional network structure provided these NCFs extraordinary characteristics. The mechanical and thermal stability, oxygen transfer rate (OTR), and water resistance pressure (WRP) of the NCFs were investigated. The nanocomposite film (NCF) with the highest weight percentage of VTESFGO (3.0 wt.%) was 47.5% more thermally stable than pure PVA, with an oxygen transmission rate of 0.3 cm3/m2 per day and a water resistance pressure of 780 mm/cm2. However, as the weight percentage of VTESFGO increased, the mechanical strength of the NCFs decreased as a result of silanol self-condensation, resulting in particulate formation, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy.

We have investigated the influence of the relative proportions of glass formers in a series of lithium alumino-borosilicate glasses with respect to electrical conductivity () and glass transition temperature (Tg) as functions of glass structure, as determined by Raman spectroscopy. The ternary lithium alumino-borate glass exhibits the highest  and lowest Tg among all the compositions of the glass series, 30Li2O•3Al2O3• (67-x) B2O3•xSiO2. However, as B2O3 is replaced by SiO2, a shallow minimum in  as well as a shallow maximum in Tg are observed near x = 27, where the Raman spectra indicate isolated diborate/tetraborate/orthoborate groups are being progressively replaced by danburite/reedmergnerite-like borosilicate network units. Overall, as the glasses become silica-rich,  is minimized, while Tg is maximized. In general, these findings show correlations among Tg, (sensitive to network polymerization),  (proportional to ionic mobility), and the different borate and silicate glass structural units as determined by Raman spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analyses demonstrate the absence of appreciable crystallinity in the glasses investigated. However, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of HF-etched samples showed that glasses, and especially the borate-rich compositions comprise two distinct glassy phases. The isolated phase is 25-100 nm in diameter, dispersed evenly in a glassy matrix.

The current 2019-2021 marine pharmacology literature review provides a continuation of previous reviews covering the period 1998 to 2018. Preclinical marine pharmacology research during 2019-2021 was published by researchers in 42 countries and contributed novel mechanism of action pharmacology for 171 structurally characterized marine compounds. The peer-reviewed marine natural products pharmacology literature reported antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antituberculosis,and antiviral mechanism of action studies for 49 compounds, 87 compounds with antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities as well as affecting the immune and nervous system, while another group of 51 compounds demonstrated novel miscellaneous mechanisms of action, which upon further investigation, may contribute to several pharmacological classes. Thus, in 2019-2021, a very active preclinical marine natural product pharmacology pipeline provided novel mechanism of actions as well as new lead chemistry for the clinical marine pharmaceutical pipeline targeting the therapy of several disease categories.
The Real Selfish Gene: Impact of Repetitive Elements on Read Mapping Accuracy, a Simulation Study
Authors: Montgomery Richard Murdoch
Published: May 2024

Repetitive elements, often referred to as selfish genes, pose significant challenges to genome assembly and read mapping in bioinformatics. These elements can replicate within the genome without providing functional benefits to the host organism, leading to complexities in accurate genome analysis. This study presents a simulation-based approach to illustrate the impact of repetitive elements on read mapping accuracy. By comparing genome sequences with and without repetitive elements, we demonstrate how these selfish genes create ambiguities and errors in read alignment. The findings underscore the importance of developing advanced bioinformatics tools aligned with artificial intelligence to mitigate the effects of repetitive sequences and improve the reliability of genomic analyses.
