Duhâ ve Nâs Arasındaki Sûreler Özelinde Zâdü'l-Mesîr Tefsirindeki Kıraat Farklılıkları Açısından Bir İnceleme
Authors: ÖKSÜZ Ali Haydar
Published: June 2022

Duhâ ve Nâs sûreleri arasında bulunan yirmi iki sûre, Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’in sûrelerinin son kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Bu sûreler, özellikle namazlarda okunmakla birlikte Kur’an eğitiminde ilk önce okunan ve ezberlenen sûreler olarak önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’in tefsiri yapılırken birçok İslâmi ilimden istifade edilmekle birlikte, tefsirlerde en başta kullanılan ilimlerden birisi kıraat ilmidir. Kıraat ilmi İslâmi ilimler alanında önemli bir yere sahip olmakla birlikte özellikle tefsir müellifleri için gerekli olarak görülen ilimlerin başında gelmektedir. Bu bağlamda, araştırma konusu yaptığımız Zâdü’l-mesîr fî ʿilmi’t-tefsîr isimli eserde müellif Ebü’l-Ferec İbnü’l-Cevzî, kıraat farklılıklarını tefsirin genelinde kullanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Zâdü’l-mesîr tefsirinde Duhâ ve Nâs arasında yer alan sûrelerdeki kıraat farklılıkları incelenecektir. Bu çerçevede, kıraat farklılıklarına temel oluşturması düşüncesiyle bir sınıflandırma yapılarak, kıraatler sahih ve sahih olmayan şeklinde izah edilecektir. Daha sonra ise Duhâ ve Hümeze ile Fîl ve Nâs şeklinde iki başlık içerisinde Zâdü’l-mesîr tefsirinde yer verilen farklı kıraatler aktarılacak ve sonuç kısmında bu sûreler bağlamında İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin kıraatlere yaklaşımı ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır. Neticede İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin hem sahih olan hem de sahih olmayan birçok kıraat farklılığına Duhâ ve Nâs arasındaki sûrelerde yer verdiği görülecektir.

Published: June 2022

The excessive exposure of nickel ions to the environment can lead to severe damage of kidneys, lungs, dermatitis and cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to remove nickel ions from wastewater. So batch mode adsorption experiments of Ni (II) ions on different natural materials were carried out in the present study. The parameters studied includes initial Ni (II) ion concentration, contact time, dose of adsorbents, pH and temperature. All Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherm models were found to be best fitted models as per the linear regression coefficient R2 values. The monolayer (maximum) adsorption capacities (qm) ranging from 4.608 to 13.514 mg/g for natural adsorbents under study. As qe(the) values are matched with qe(exp) showed that Lagergen pseudo -second order model fits the kinetics of adsorption of Ni (II) ions on these natural materials. Amount of Ni (II) ions adsorbed on adsorbents was found to be directly proportional with pH and temperature. According to thermodynamic analysis, adsorption of Ni (II) ions on adsorbents was favourable, spontaneous and endothermic physical adsorption. Out of the six adsorbents under study, Mango (Mangifera indica) leaf powder was found have greater adsorption capacity and Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) fruit shell powder had least adsorption capacity towards Ni (II) ions.

Published: June 2022

Water is an important natural resource in our daily life. Water resources play a major role in sustainable development. Surveying and continuous monitoring of water bodies in a vast area is a tedious and timeconsuming task by conventional surveying techniques. Keeping track of changes in the areas of waterbodies due to urbanization and industrialization is very important. The present study aims at determining the spatiotemporal changes in the water bodies from 2008 to 2018 in the drought-hit area of Mahbubnagar, Telangana using satellite-derived spectral index namely,Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique using Resourcesat-1 Data. Extraction of water bodies using MNDWI and SVM can be done very easily with very little effort as compared to conventional surveying techniques. Using the MNDWI technique,the total area of waterbodies is 322.64 square kilometers in the year 2008 and 362.61 square kilometers in the year 2018. Using the SVM technique, the area of waterbodies is 368.17 square kilometers in the year 2008 and 395.72 in the year 2018. The kappa index values of 2018 by MNDWI technique and SVM technique are 0.86 and 0.91 respectively. The kappa index values of 2008 by MNDWI technique and SVM technique are 0.85 and 0.89 respectively. It is observed that the SVM technique is more accurate than the MNDWI technique. The area of water bodies has increased during the study period mainly due to increased awareness among the public on the importance of water and also initiatives taken by the Government of Telangana, like Mission Kakatiya for the revival of water bodies in the study area.

Published: June 2022

The aim of this article is to valorize the use of Algerian diatomite as natural pozzolan and insulator material in mortars manufacturing. The diatomite was characterized using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and SEM analysis. The pozzolanic activity of the diatomite was assessed by strength activity index according to ASTM C618 standard specification. The mechanical strength and thermal conductivity were investigated on mortar mixtures prepared by replacing cement by 10, 20, 30 and 40% of diatomite. The experimental results indicated that: X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and pozzolanic activity index tests confirmed the suitability to use the Algerian diatomite as natural pozzolans. The compressive and flexural strengths of mortars containing up to 20% diatomite decrease slightly compared than mortar without diatomite. Finally, the decreasing of thermal conductivity indicates an improvement on thermal insulation of diatomite mortars.

Traditional knowledge
Authors: Shivani Shambhavi , Aparna Aparna , Mishra Srijan
Published: June 2022

Traditional Knowledge (TK) as the name suggests refers to the long-standing traditions and various practices of the indigenous communities. Traditional knowledge embodies culture and the knowledge of the community which is passed (mostly orally) from one generation to another. Traditional knowledge is not static; it evolves with these communities. India is a store house of abundant knowledge about the traditional value of forest products. Because of factors like loss of habitat, environmental degradation coupled with unendurable ways of cultivation and harvesting, it is estimated that around 12 % of 6000 species of potential medicinal plants is under threat. The various suggestions that have been forwarded in India to protect traditional knowledge are documentation of traditional knowledge, innovative patent system and a sui generis system of protecting traditional knowledge. It is also hinted that documentation of traditional knowledge can help combat bio piracy. If traditional knowledge is documented, then information of art of inventions based on such knowledge will be available to patent examiners all over the world. Not only this, through documentation it is possible to trace the local communities with whom there can be a benefit sharing from exploitation of such traditional knowledge.

Antiretroviral Therapy: A Compendium of the Evolving Treatment Paradigm for HIV infection
Authors: Gamad Nanda
Published: June 2022

Guidelines on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) are updated regularly and it is important to be abreast with the increasing knowledge. Recent international recommendation suggests initiating the ART to all those individuals who have detectable viremia. While it is imperative to perform baseline CD4+ counts, viral loads and resistance testing before starting treatment, non-availability of any of these tests should not delay treatment initiation. Currently, ART in the form of daily administered triple-drug combination therapy consisting of 2 NRTIs plus 1 INSTI/PI/NNRTI, is recommended for newly diagnosed patients. The regimen should be selected based on virological efficacy, adverse effects, drug-drug interactions and cost. This article is an attempt to give an overview of existing and upcoming antiretroviral drugs and recent recommendations in the management of people living with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

In the early 20th century, the marxism as the guiding ideology was introduced into China, in the process of solving the problem of Chinese revolution and construction, there are two inequalities, namely marxism should be combined with China's actual marxism with China's actual combination of combination of marxism and Chinese actual marxism sinicization. The solution of the two inequalities is the result of the "historical resultant force" of various factors, including the awakening and maturity of Communist Party of China's subjectivity, the enhancement of theoretical innovation consciousness and innovation ability, and the deepening of the understanding of national conditions on the basis of self-reflection and correcting mistakes.
Privilegi librari ed edizioni privilegiate nella Repubblica di Venezia (1527-1565)
Authors: Squassina Erika
Published: June 2022

This work provides the legal framework in which the Venetian book trade operated in the years 1527-1565. The repertoire documents the systematic use that authors and printers made of the privileges system to ensure exclusivity in the economic exploitation of a work and thus protect their work and investments. The archival and bibliographic sources collected in this volume testify to the entrepreneurial strategies implemented by authors and printers to innovate and diversify publishing production in order to create products capable of competing on foreign markets. The repertoire also traces the role of the Venetian State in promoting and protecting the local book industry in a context characterized by constant historical and political changes.
Risk Factors and Complications of Chronic Kidney Disease: Narrative Review
Authors: Alkhaqani Ahmed Lateef
Published: June 2022

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with several adverse clinical outcomes, such as cardiovascular events, kidney failure requiring renal replacement therapy, mortality, and poor quality of life for survivors in general. CKD is a slow and progressive loss of kidney function over several years and may ultimately lead to the development of kidney failure. CKD has become a serious public health issue. Although cardiovascular disease, family history of CKD, and certain ethnic and racial backgrounds are important predictors of CKD risk, they do not contribute significantly beyond the scope of diabetes, hypertension, and older age. The number of CKD patients will continue to rise, reflecting the growing elderly population and increasing numbers of patients with diabetes and hypertension. As the number of CKD patients increases, primary care practitioners will be confronted with the management of the complex medical problems unique to patients with chronic renal impairment. As well documented in the literature, the nephrologist rarely manages the medical needs of CKD patients until renal replacement therapy is required. Whereas the symptoms of CKD in diabetes are few, many risk factors and biomarkers can be used to identify individuals at high risk for developing this condition. This article highlights the effect of risk factors and complications associated with chronic kidney disease at its various stages.

Published: June 2022

La normativa de precios de transferencia, introducida en nuestro país en el año 2010, es altamente compleja y contiene muchas áreas grises. Al respecto, las Directrices de la OCDE y la jurisprudencia consultada reconocen que no se trata de una ciencia exacta, y que el tema no está exento de ambigüedades. Ante este escenario, es crucial conocer la posición de nuestros tribunales en la materia, a efectos de identificar tendencias al respecto. En este trabajo, se analiza, de forma temática, la jurisprudencia disponible a la fecha, buscando aportar al foro un documento que sirva no solo como una mera recopilación, sino como referencia de los principales aspectos discutidos hasta el momento en nuestro país.
Getallen vertaald
Authors: Dols Chris
Published: June 2022

This article examines the debate on ‘sociologisation’ in the Dutch Church Province in the immediate decades after 1945, first of all by reviewing the subject positions of Laeyendecker and Dols in relation to recent shifts in international historiography. Even though it endorses various of Laeyendecker’s lines of reasoning, moreover, it argues that his contribution rests on several misunderstandings of both the intentions and analytical core of Fact Factory (2014). It also claims that Laeyendecker’s sociological interpretation of the religious crisis of the long 1960s leaves too little room for historical problematisation. It suggests, instead, a historicising of secularisation as a grand narrative and ‘crisis’ as a vital Deutungskategorie. In that sense, ‘crisis’ appears as an analytical category, too, by means of which sociologists of religion denoted a demise of traditional religiosity, signified that ecclesiastical structures were malleable, opened up sociological perspectives to decision making, and justified blueprints for reform.
Joden en moslims onder vuur
Authors: Vellenga Sipco
Published: June 2022

In recent years, the Netherlands has been challenged frequently with public incidents of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. After discussing the complex concepts of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, presenting the theoretical approach to these phenomena and describing the societal context in which they are embedded, this article analyses the developments of the numbers of reported expressions of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the Netherlands since the turn of century. It relates these developments to outburst of violence in the Middle East and to acts of violence committed in the name of Islam in the West, and to various experiences of threat in the context of Dutch multi-ethnic society, changes in national identity and globalization.
“Jongeren met toekomstplannen”
Authors: De Koning Martijn
Published: June 2022

Since 2012 about 250 Dutch Muslims have joined Islamic State (IS), Jabhat al-Nusra and other factions in the Syrian civil war. Much of the debates concerning these foreign fighters has revolved around the question: why do they go? Certainly in public debates the motives as explained by the foreign fighters themselves are taken for granted. In this article I will propose a different approach of these motives. I will argue that they should not be seen as causal factors explaining why people join the war but as stories through which they explain, legitimize and rationalize their choices and through which they construct and perform their identity. I will do this by analysing three types of narratives (socio-emotional, socio-political and religious-ideological) that constitute the life story of Abu Muhammed; one of the Dutch foreign fighters. I will show how, within a particular socio-political context, he constitutes himself as a steadfast Muslim fighter.
Assessment of diversity and distribution patterns of Pteridophytes in the South-Central Biological Corridor III of Bhutan

Pteridophytes constitute an important component of forest ecosystems in addition to non-vascular cryptogams and spermatophytes (Magnoliophyta). Study has been carried out to assess the diversity and distribution patterns of pteridophytes in Biological Corridor III of South Central Bhutan with an aim to evaluate species composition along elevation-gradients and to understand how environmental factors influence species richness and distribution. Line-transect methods were adopted on site in four different locations. Species richness and diversity study was conducted in 47 sample plots taken at sizes of (10 x 10m) at 500m interval from 800 to 2200m altitude in three forest types. A total of 64 fern species were recorded represented by 3146 individual plants. Maximum species richness was observed at elevations between 1000 and 2000m. The species diversity index was (H = 1.368), evenness (EH = 0.88) and species richness (SR = 5.1). Pteris normalis was found to have the highest relative abundance of (RA = 9.91); Selaginella monospora had the highest relative density with (Rd = 11.35) and the maximum Importance Value Index of (IVI = 26.48) distributed along the widest range of elevation. Environmental and ecological variables such as temperature, slope and soil pH tend to have negative correlation with species counts. Elevation, soil-moisture content, precipitation and canopy coverage tend to have a positive correlation. Species counts through different vegetation zones tend to increase from tropical to subtropical and gradually decrease towards warm temperate forest.

VEŠTAČKA INTELIGENCIJA: KONTROLA PODATAKA, TRŽIŠTE I DEMOKRATIJA
Authors: Kosanović Nemanja
Published: June 2022

Cilj ovog rada je da razmotri uticaj primene veštačke inteligencije na potrošače, tržišne uslove, koji mogu da se menjaju primenom ove tehnologije, i uticaj na demokratiju i političke procese u društvu. Sa razvojem ,,digitalnog“ društva prikupljanje podataka postaje posebno važno, dok se veštom manipulacijom tih podataka može uticati na percepciju potrošača o proizvodima, vršiti diskriminacija cena, uticati na demoktarske institucije, povećavati polarizacija u dtrušvu, narušavati sloboda i privatnost pojedinaca. Svi ovi problemi koji nastaju kao posledica primene veštačke inteligencije ne ukazuju na imanentno negativnu stranu veštačke inteligencije, već na problem odluke kako će se ova inteligencija koristiti. Savremeni politički, ekonomski i društveni poredak biće narušeni nekontrolisanom upotrebom veštačke inteligencije, pošto ona više ne predstavlja samo instrument u razvoju tehnologije već ima i mogućnost preuzimanja kontrole i vlasti.

Published: June 2022

Logistics activities are considered as a priority by the management in everyday business, while having an adequate customer service as a powerful tool helps achieving the competitiveness of the company to continuously grow and develop in a global scale. The purpose of this paper is to identify the key logistic elements of customer service by aggregating the most important components in the sample of customers for retail stores in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The principal component analysis of the logistic elements of customer service was employed in the research, within the principal components method with the application of orthogonal rotation of VARIMAX with Kaiser normalization. The analysis of the main components extracted six components with characteristic eigenvalues greater than 1, where 24 claims were grouped around them. Orthogonal VARIMAX rotation was performed to facilitate the interpretation of the obtained components. The rotated solution showed a simpler structure of components that explains 64.08% of the variance. The results of the study confirmed a six-dimensional component structure. The extracted components are given the following names: possibility of ordering and delivery of products, convenience of delivery, packaging and assortment of products, location of retail store and payment terms, loyalty card benefits, spaciousness of stores, improvement of sales and product complaints and correction of potential errors.

Development of a School-Based Environmental Program Through Elementary Pupils’ Carbon Footprints
Authors: Lagura Romelyn , Gamiao Bert , Aragon Jovenita
Published: June 2022

This study crafted a school-based environmental program that aims to mitigate the harsh effect of too much carbon emission through pupils’ carbon footprints. This study used quantitative descriptive research. A basic survey questionnaire, climate change knowledge test, carbon footprint calculator, and qualitative validation of the material were the research instruments. Data were analyzed using percentages, one-way ANOVA, and thematic coding. The result showed that pupils were aware of the concepts of climate change however they are average contributors of carbon. This implied that whether they will receive climate change education they are still contributors this is due to the distance they travel using their private vehicles and the distance per liter of fuel consumption (of their private vehicles) contribute to their average level of individual carbon footprints. Hence, the School-based Environmental Program was crafted and validated and should be utilized by the pupils either in the school or in their houses due to the Homebased Learning mode of this pandemic.
