#Foodporn: Fetishized sharing of food and its images
Authors: Piluso Francesco
Published: December 2021

Once translated into images, food acquires a broader meaning. Food is no longer merely something to eat, but to show, share and look at. The increasing amount of images and pictures of dishes on our social networks, associated with hashtags such as #foodporn, expresses this renewed social, communicative and provocative function of food. However, the exhibition of these images is quite ambivalent when it comes to establishing determined patterns of visual and social relationships with and between users. The aim of this article is to analyze and attempt to provide mediation to this ambivalence. The pornographic exposition of food images no longer presupposes a transitive form of consumption by the user, but becomes pure and self-reflexing spectacle. The images are obscene (Baudrillard [1981] 1994) and characterized by an excess of transparency on their object which abolishes any form of seduction (Baudrillard [1979] 1990). Barthes ([1980] 1981) defines this kind of image as unary. Pornographic images are an emblematic example. In terms of their self-evident objectivity, these pictures lack any punctum, any piercing sign of a relationship with or openness to the observer (see Eco 1962; 1979). Nevertheless, behind their apparent transparency, the images are always products of specific perspective cuts, and still able to convey mystery, meaning and involvement. The unary image of food is a further fragment in a series of multiple perspectives on the same object. Such potentiality is actualized in our (social) media culture in which sharing and continuous remediation of images and pictures of food constitute a complex storytelling of the object. This, in turn, fosters further participation by the users. The ambivalence between the indifference of the pornographic image and the involvement in the serialization of the detail is synthetized by the notion of fetishism (Baudrillard [1972] 2019). The social (and) media scenery seems to exemplify and radicalize a sort of commodity fetishism, in which social relationships between users are shaped and mediated by (social) media relationships between images of food.
Gastromaniac. How (food) influencers create trust
Authors: Bankov Kristian
Published: December 2021

In the first part of the paper, I shall offer a brief overview of a hypothesis developed in another publication, which explores the relationship between the primordial feeling of trust that each person’s face elicits to varying degrees and how this represents a type of capital for influencers. In the second part of the paper, I shall develop this model using theoretical know-how from the field of brand management, where a beneficial link between the influencer communication model and that of legendary brands emerges. Thus, for an influencer to build invaluable trust capital with his/her followers in the first place, he/she must start from the position of some passion or sacred beliefs which give authenticity to the core expertise underlying the influence being exerted. In this model, the communicative performance of the influencer and the quality of his/her narrative take centre stage. Credibility depends on the synchrony between these elements and the extent to which the constructed public influencer’s character is true to itself in its various manifestations. An explicitly or implicitly defined lifestyle is always present in the system. It provides concreteness and makes it easier for followers to compare and imitate.
Semiotics, blogs and gastromania
Authors: Mangiapane Francesco
Published: December 2021

The current culinary megatrend owes much to Internet socialization practices. Discussions online began very early (the boards of Chowhound, for example, have already been operating since 1997), which says a lot about how much the “great conversation” of online communities is linked to gastronomic discourse. This paper propose a semiotic assessment of such a connection.

THEORETICAL CONSTRUCTION OF PSYCHOPEDAGOGICAL ADVICE
ABSTRACT
The formation of the Bachelor of Education. Pedagogy-Psychology as a psychopedagogical advisor demands the theoretical appropriation of psychopedagogical advice to managers and teachers as a mode of professional action, in correspondence with the object of the profession and the spheres of action. In the understanding of the role of psychopedagogical advisor, there are inadequacies that limit the theoretical-methodological configuration of this professional process. In this direction and in response to this problem, from an interdisciplinary approach, the logic of the construction of psycho-pedagogical advice is proposed in order to favor the mastery of the mode of action based on the academic, labor and research relationship. This work is been of the authors' doctoral investigations. Theoretical methods are used from a systemic perspective: analytical-synthetic, historical-logical and empirical: observation, survey, interview and documentary analysis. The results express the integrative dialectic of the training process for psychopedagogical advice and its contextualized application in educational situations.

Published: December 2021

Background

Women with breast pain constitute >20% of breast clinic attendees.

Aim

To investigate breast cancer incidence in women presenting with breast pain and establish the health economics of referring women with breast pain to secondary care.

Design and setting

A prospective cohort study of all consecutive women referred to a breast diagnostic clinic over 12 months.

Method

Women were categorised by presentation into four distinct clinical groups and cancer incidence investigated.

Results

Of 10 830 women, 1972 (18%) were referred with breast pain, 6708 (62%) with lumps, 480 (4%) with nipple symptoms, 1670 (15%) with ‘other’ symptoms. Mammography, performed in 1112 women with breast pain, identified cancer in eight (0.7%). Of the 1972 women with breast pain, breast cancer incidence was 0.4% compared with ∼5% in each of the three other clinical groups. Using ‘breast lump’ as reference, the odds ratio (OR) of women referred with breast pain having breast cancer was 0.05 (95% confidence interval = 0.02 to 0.09, P<0.001). Compared with reassurance in primary care, referral was more costly (net cost £262) without additional health benefits (net quality-adjusted life-year [QALY] loss −0.012). The greatest impact on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was when QALY loss because of referral-associated anxiety was excluded. Primary care reassurance no longer dominated, but the ICER remained greater (£45 528/QALY) than typical UK National Health Service cost-effectiveness thresholds.

Conclusion

This study shows that referring women with breast pain to a breast diagnostic clinic is an inefficient use of limited resources. Alternative management pathways could improve capacity and reduce financial burden.

Driving value creation in the new economy following the COVID-19 crisis. Data-mining students’ satisfaction from online teaching in the virtual academic climate.
Authors: Eckhaus Eyal , Davidovitch Nitza
Published: December 2021

This study examines the advantages of online teaching from the perspective of students at eleven institutions of higher education, universities and colleges, in Israel. The study was conducted at the end of the second semester of their academic studies, after students had experienced “face to face” studies, and they were asked to reply freely to an open question on their evaluation of the benefits of transitioning to online teaching. Students were forced to cope with a new reality, where they were compelled to study in a “digital classroom”. The academic-social climate, the conduct of lecturer-student relations, and the relations among the students themselves, changed instantaneously, with no preparation by any of those involved. Hence, the research findings can illuminate the strengths of online teaching, with a view to the future. Was the impact of teaching and learning in the coronavirus circumstances a one-time event for the students or one from which it is possible to examine and embrace new ways of learning as they see them?

 

Based on 1,937 fully completed surveys from eleven academic institutions, we employed a mixed methods research design. Major themes were manually tagged, and an empirical model was developed. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized to test the model’s goodness-of-fit. Findings present a host of parameters that have a significant positive influence on students’ positive perception of the transition to online teaching.

 

This study is the first to thoroughly examine advantages and disadvantages of the transition to online teaching among a large group of students, from several different academic institutions, and presents both qualitative and empirical results. Ethical implications of the findings are discussed.
Drawing as an Academic Dialogue Tool for Developing Digital Learning Designs in Higher Education
Authors: Hautopp Heidi , Buhl Mie
Published: December 2021

This paper reports on how drawing as an academic dialogue tool was explored as a crucial actor for driving design processes among humanistic master’s students targeting their digital learning designs for online and blended learning contexts. The paper builds on a previous study that investigated students’ use of self-produced visualisations during the digital design process. Although the study did not deal with visualisation and students were not trained to draw, the participants made extensive but unacknowledged use of visualisations. In the present study, a new group of students from the same master’s programme were taught how to draw as a central component of the design process in order to investigate how this might expand their use of visual facilitation and drawing techniques to drive collaborative processes, design decisions and theoretical reflections. As design practices enter new interdisciplinary domains, in this case digital learning design, the aim was to explore how humanistic students can act as digital designers by adapting different design approaches and visual methods in particular. Likewise, the study offers an investigation of how students perceive these ways of working in an academic context. The empirical data, including teaching observations, students’ visual productions and interviews with 27 students from nine groups after completing the course, were drawn primarily from an explorative case study in which master’s students developed digital learning designs to solve a problem framed by an external stakeholder. Students’ ways of producing visualisations in the different phases of their design process were analysed in terms of four design genres (explorative, investigative, explanatory and persuasive). The sociomaterial analysis traced how drawings and drawing activities unfolded during collaborative group processes which supported the development of digital learning designs. The findings confirmed the potential of drawing as a means for developing ideas, collaborating in different design phases and presenting and discussing design ideas with peers, target groups and external stakeholders. Furthermore, the findings revealed that drawing activities became a significant pedagogical consideration in the students’ digital learning design and data collection process, where students balanced the interplay between initial analogue drawings and digital prototyping, testing their design concepts with target groups. The findings also showed that students perceived drawing and visual facilitation as practical tools but lacked an academic terminology for articulating these processes. The study suggests a need for substantial change to fully acknowledge the potential of drawing as an academic dialogue tool on the level with academic reading and writing when developing digital artefacts.
Digitally Assessing Text Comprehension in Grades 3-4: Test Development and Validation
Authors: Seifert Susanne , Paleczek Lisa
Published: December 2021

A prerequisite for child reading support at school is adequate assessment. Embedding (repeated) assessment into daily teaching routine is often challenging for teachers in terms of time and organization. The use of digital tools can help teachers in the assessment process (in preparation, evaluation, documentation, etc.). A digital assessment tool (Graz Reading Comprehension test: GraLeV), focusing on assessing reading comprehension skills in Grades 3 and 4 is currently being developed in Austria. This reading assessment covers reading comprehension at the word, sentence, and text level. Text level is assessed via two subtests (Subtest I: presentation of nonsense-stories and corresponding questions, and Subtest II: maze selection). The other levels consist of one subtest each. This paper focusses on the subtests at text level. More specifically, the paper reports the results of two studies. Study 1 describes the development phases and the first piloting of these two subtests (data collection: 10/2019-12/2019). Testing 273 students with preliminary versions of the subtests (Subtest I: 30 items, Subtest II: 60 items) produced information on (a) item difficulty, (b) item discriminatory power, and (c) time limits for future speed testing. Items not meeting the required quality criteria were excluded. The final version of Subtest I consists of 16 questions referring to eight different, short, nonsense-texts. Its testing time (without instructions) is three minutes. The final version of the Subtest II consists of 2 texts each with 15 maze selections (30 items) and testing time is 100 seconds. The internal consistency is found to be good for Subtest I (α=.87) and Subtest II (α=.78 to .80). Study 2 reports on testing for validity and retest-reliability (data collection: 09/2020-11/2020). Student scores in another reading comprehension test, together with teacher assessments of reading comprehension, were used to assess congruent validity. Divergent validity was assessed using teacher assessments of mathematical and socio-emotional skills. As expected, the correlations with the congruent measures were higher than those with the divergent measures. A subsample was tested twice with the GraLeV. Retest-reliability was acceptable for Subtest II. However, the scores obtained at time 2 were higher compared to those at time 1 in both subtests. This is probably the result of increased student familiarity with the digital device and the digital test environment at time 2. The results are discussed in the light of teachers’ needs for standardized digital assessments in order to facilitate the tailoring of student reading support.
Faculty Engagement in Online Education: Applying the Perceived Characteristics of Innovation to Explain Online Teaching Intention
Authors: Carraher-Wolverton Colleen , Zhu Zhiwei
Published: December 2021

There exists an increasing demand for online education; however, faculty may question the value of online courses as they grapple with making a connection between the face-to-face classroom and the online learning experience. Much research has focused on factors relating to student engagement, although we posit that faculty engagement represents an important aspect in the online learning context that has been fairly overlooked in the engagement research stream. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence a faculty’s intention to teach an OL course in addition to their level of engagement in teaching an online learning course is vital to the growth and success of an OL program. Therefore, in this study, we seek to not only understand the factors that influence faculty’s intention to teach online learning courses but also an instructor’s level of faculty engagement in online learning courses. We sought a novel lens with which to examine this phenomenon, so this study utilizes the perceived characteristics of innovation (PCI) to examine the relationships between faculty engagement and intention to teach online learning courses. We conducted a survey of 99 instructors from a large public university in order to assess the impact of PCI on faculty engagement and intention to teach online courses. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data, concluding that result demonstration, relative advantage, and compatibility influence a faculty’s level of engagement in an online learning course, which in turn influences their intention to teach an OL course. We discuss how this research can be utilized in order to more effectively allocate scarce resources by focusing on the relative advantage of online learning, the measurability of online learning, and the way in which it can be compatible with instructors teaching preferences. We present this study to enable the beginning of a new stream of research into faculty engagement.
Learning Foreign Languages in a Digital Environment: Learners’ Perception of the Sudden Transition to e-Learning During COVID-19 Lockdown

Published: December 2021

The research is devoted to the study of the forced and accelerated transition of education to an online environment on the example of learning a foreign language. Despite a large number of studies on e-learning, this study is one of the newest investigating recent education transformation trends. The ultimate goal of this paper was to study changes in students’ assessments of the e-learning process, participation in online-based education, and academic success during the transition to virtual training. The study involved 600 students from 5 private specialized educational institutions located in Moscow (Russian Federation) who were forced to switch to e-learning during the lockdown. The examination was conducted by means of a survey assessing the usefulness, comfort, and acceptability of e-learning in three isolated questions formulated by the authors and measured on a five-point Likert scale. The comparison of its outcomes with the results of objective knowledge tests at the beginning and at the end of the three-month e-learning period revealed the following outcomes. First of all, a decrease in the assessment of the acceptability of continuing e-learning for both genders was noted. According to female respondents, the assessment of the comfort of e-learning decreased significantly (from 3.70 to 3.14 points). In the meantime, the usefulness score dropped notably for both male and female research participants (from 4.10 to 2.98 and from 3.80 to 2.26, respectively). Similar changes were found in four age categories ranging from 20 to 42 years old. Thus, the participants over 30 demonstrated lower final scores. Academic success also decreased in the group of men compared to the group of women. The findings of this study can be practically applied for the further transformation of educational programs and additional preparation of educators with the aim of facilitating learning transition to an online mode. Future research on the topic can be conducted in other regions of the world to obtain more comparative data and investigate different learners’ perceptions.

Published: December 2021

West Nile fever is a zoonotic arbovirus mosquito- and tick-borne infection, which occurs in humans in the form of an acute febrile illness with symptoms of general intoxication, in severe cases – with the central nervous system damage. West Nile virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family.

After the start of Russians’ mass tourism to tropical and subtropical regions, number of cases of the disease in Russia has increased, especially in the south, where the virus is more viable. The infection mainly affects birds but also people and many mammals (bats, cats, dogs, skunks, squirrels, rabbits, etc.), which become infected after the bite of a mosquito of the genus Culex (Culex pipiens) carrying the disease, ixodid or argas mite. A clinical case of hemorrhagic stroke caused by West Nile fever is presented in the article.

Authors: TEMİZ Ebru , KOYUNCU İsmail , SAADAT Shameem , YÜKSEKDAĞ Özgür , AWARD Yazan
Published: December 2021

Background: Nature is a source of therapeutic compounds which have fewer side effects compared to synthetic drugs. Stinging nettle extract, widely-used in Anatolia, has a strong antiproliferative effect on many types of cancer. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this effect is still not known.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the interaction of Urtica dioica L. extract at different concentrations with apoptosis and autophagy pathways in the human promyelocytic cell line (HL-60) was studied to elucidate how it triggers the antiproliferative effects. In this context, firstly, the plant leaves were extracted in water with the Soxhlet extraction method. HL-60 cells were incubated with the extract at different concentrations for 24 hours, and the activated antitumoral effect pathway was investigated with advanced following molecular tests: MTT staining, Nitric oxide (NO) level, Annexin-V in flow cytometry, cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential measurement (MMP) and qPCR for evaluation of apoptosis and autophagy mediator genes.
Results: It was determined that cell proliferation was suppressed at a concentration of 100 µg/mL and cells were kept in G0/G1 phase, MMP was impaired in cells and the rate of apoptotic cells increased. These apoptotic markers were confirmed by statistically increased expression of apoptotic and autophagy genes and NO level.
Conclusions: Taken together, it is predicted that Urtica dioica L. water extract initiates apoptosis in HL-60 cells and could be promising compound candidate for cancer treatment.

Mediation role of Organization Commitment
Authors: Sheikh Khairuddin Sheikh Muhamad Hizam , Hussain Syed Sardar
Published: December 2021

Objective - The study is aimed to examine the relationships between a leader's emotional intelligence (as perceived by nursing staff), organizational commitment, and turnover intention through empirical investigation across the service sector.

Methodology/Technique - A total of 433 employees working in the healthcare sector were approached through probability sampling. A questionnaire-based survey was employed to conduct the responses. Two-stage approaches were applied using structural equation modelling. In the first stage, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied.

Findings - The study tests the direct linkages between independent and dependent variables, and in the second-stage path, coefficients were examined. Third, affective and normative commitments were positively and significantly associated with nursing staff turnover intention; but study found no relation of continuance commitment with nursing staff turnover intention. Fourth, the study found that a leader's emotional intelligence (as perceived by nursing staff) was positively associated with organizational commitment, but negatively associated with turnover intention. The current study also confirmed the mediating role of organizational commitment between a leader's emotional intelligence and nursing staff turnover intention.

Novelty - The study has practical and theoretical implications for HR managers to reduce employees' turnover intention. Limitations are also discussed. The study elucidates the importance of perceived organizational learning culture in enhancing job satisfaction, organization commitment and reducing turnover intention.

Published: December 2021

AlN/GaN metal–insulator–semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MISHEMTs) on silicon substrate using in situ SiN as gate dielectric were fabricated and their RF power performance at mobile system-on-chip (SoC) compatible voltages was measured. At a mobile SoC-compatible supply voltage of V
d = 3.5 V/5 V, the 90 nm gate-length AlN/GaN MISHEMTs showed a maximum power-added efficiency of 62%/58%, a maximum output power density (P
outmax) of 0.44 W mm−1/0.84 W mm−1 and a linear gain of 20 dB/19 dB at the frequency of 5 GHz. These results suggest that the in situ-SiN/AlN/GaN-on-Si MISHEMTs are promising for RF power amplifiers in 5G mobile SoC applications.

Un éloge de Camaldoli pour Pierre le Goutteux
Authors: Caby Cécile
Published: December 2021

The main object of this book is a manuscript preserved in Rome but composed in Florence in the middle of the fifteenth century, which transmits a text that is nearly unknown and highly original for at least three reasons. Firstly, the subject matter: a description of the Camaldoli hermitage at a time when this place was highly appreciated. Secondly, the discursive genre: the description of a built landscape, influenced both by humanist ekphrasis and by the tradition of medieval figurative exegesis. Finally, the dedicatee of the work, who is no less than Peter son of Cosimo dei Medici. The book successively examines the medieval and modern tradition of this little work, the identity of its author and the milieu of its production and first reception, and finally the details – some of them completely new – of the description of the Camaldolese hermitage and their textual and figurative tradition. It concludes with a critical edition of the work and the glosses with which it was enhanced in modern times. It is therefore a contribution not only to the history of an important Tuscan monastic centre, but also to that of the cultural and political networks of Tuscany in the second half of the fifteenth century, as well as to the knowledge of the textual and iconographic genres of landscape and monumental description, and finally, in a certain way, of modern Tuscan scholarship.

مضمون العقد في ضوء التعديلات الحديثة للقانون المدني الفرنسي (دراسة مقارنة بالفقه المالكي)
Authors: عبدالله هوزان
Published: December 2021

تضمن مرسوم قانون رقم (2016-131) الصادر في 10 شباط عام 2016 تعديلا لشروط نفاذ العقد في القانون المدني الفرنسي النافذ، وذلك طبقا للمادة (1128) من القانون المدني، والتي نصت على ثلاثة شروط لنافذ العقد، وهي (الأهلية والتراضي وأخيرًا مضمون العقد المشروع والمؤكد Un contenu licite et certain.). ويعتبر مضمون العقد المشروع والمؤكد من أبرز المستجدات في التعديل الجديد،  حيث حذف المشرع الفرنسي  ركني (المحل والسبب) في العقد وأحل محلهما هذا الشرط الجديد لنفاذ العقد.  وقد نظم المشرع الفرنسي أحكام مضمون العقد في المواد (1162-1171)  من القانون المدني الفرنسي النافذ.

وقد تأثر القانون الفرنسي بالفقه المالكي، وبدا ذلك واضحا من خلال البحث في شروط العقد، ولكن المشرع الفرنسي خالف الفقه المالكي في بعض بنود المادة (1162) من القانون المدني الفرنسي النافذ، وكذلك خالفة في مسالة عقود الإذعان؛ لأنها فكرة حديثة فرضتها التطورات والحاجات العملية الاقتصادية في هذا المجال.
إبعاد الأجانب في ضوء المتغيرات الإقليمية والدولية المعاصرة
Authors: مصيلحى أحمد
Published: December 2021

حظي موضوع إبعاد الأجانب في ضوء المتغيرات الإقليمية والدولية المعاصرة باهتمام الدول كافة، والعديد من المنظمات الدولية والإقليمية، باعتبار أن ظاهرة الهجرة غير الشرعية من المشاكل الخطيرة التي تواجه المجتمع الدولي برمته خاصة مع الانتشار الواسع للجرائم الإرهابية، وهناك دوافع رئيسة وراء تنامى ظاهرة الهجرة غير الشرعية أهمها الدوافع النفسية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية والسياسية، وترجع خطورة هذه الظاهرة أنها لها آثار عديدة للدول المستقبلة للمهاجرين، أهمها الآثار الأمنية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية والصحية، ولمكافحة هذه الظاهرة تتطلب تعاوناً دولياً وإقليمية، فضلا عن تشديد العقوبات على المنظمات والعصابات المهتمين بالمساعدة في عمليات تهريب البشر.

وقد اهتم الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان الصادر عام 1948، والاتفاقية الأوربية لحقوق الإنسان الصادرة عام 1950 على حرية الإقامة كحق من حقوق الإنسان الأساسية التي يجب كفالتها وحمايتها، ومن جهة أخرى اهتمت الاتفاقيات الدولية بتنظيم إبعاد الأجانب ويظهر هذا الاهتمام في تقرير حق الدولة في الإبعاد، حيث يتطلب القانون الدولي من الدولة التي تتخذ قرار الإبعاد للأجنبي إثبات أن وجود الأجنبي على إقليمها يهدد الأمن القومي أو الأمن العام أو أن يكون هناك ضرر منه على الاقتصاد القومي أو الصحة العامة أو الآداب العامة أو السكنية العامة أو تنفيذاً لحكم قضائي. ويجب أن يكون قرارها خالياً من الإجراءات التعسفية أو مهينة للكرامة الإنسانية.
„Skrajny kwadrant gwiazdozbioru” – astronomia w fantastyce naukowej
Authors: Leś Mariusz M.
Published: December 2021

As the author of the article claims, there exist close and lasting links between astronomy and science fiction genre. First and foremost, both of these phenomena developed in parallel since antiquity, and both have fiction at their centre as a socially established type of imagination. Scientific hypotheses use justified fabrication, and science fiction offers images of fictional cosmologies. Many writers of proto-science fiction brought astronomical concepts into social play. Among them were astronomers and philosophers who extensively used plot devices based on mythology or allegorical transformations: from Lucian of Samosata to Johannes Kepler. Space travel, beginning with Jules Verne’s prose, is an important part of the thematic resource of science fiction. Astronomy played an important role also in the beginnings of Polish science fiction, thanks to works of Michał Dymitr Krajewski and Teodor Tripplin.
Prawda i fikcja według Hideo Kojimy. Narracyjna ewolucja serii gier „Metal Gear”
Authors: Stasiewicz Piotr
Published: December 2021

The paper is a brief – out of necessity – analysis of Metal Gear game series created by Japanese author, Hideo Kojima. The main subject of the analysis was Kojima’s unusual approach towards worldbuilding, gameplay mechanics and his storytelling with the use of various narrative means and strategies. Another topic studied here was Hideo Kojima’s connection with postmodernism mainly in regard to the series’ trademark feature – constant breaking of the forth wall. The final part of the paper concerns Kojima’s so far most ambitious work – Metal Gear Solid V, which is depicted here as a kind of narrative puzzle.
Rola makrofagów i monocytów w infekcji SARS-CoV-2 i w ciężkim przebiegu COVID-19
Authors: Kubiak Jacek Z.
Published: December 2021

W tej pracy przeglądowej opisuję, w jaki sposób makrofagi biorą udział zarówno w obronie organizmu przed zakażeniem SARS-CoV-2 i COVID-19 i jak mogą przyczyniać się do ciężkiego przebiegu tej choroby. Makrofagi stanowią pierwszą linię obrony organizmu przed wniknięciem wirusów, w tym koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2. Wywołują one m.in. stan zapalny pozwalający na konsolidację działania całego układu odpornościowego w COVID-19. Makrofagi są jednak również zakażane koronawirusem, a wówczas wydzielają zbyt dużo cytokin i tracą zdolność do wygaszania stanu zapalnego. Nikotyna, działając na receptory nikotynowe ACh α4/α7 (nAChR) może łagodzić prozapalne działanie zakażonych SARS-CoV-2 makrofagów i zmniejszać wywołaną przez nie burzę cytokinową w płucach. Monocyty, które są komórkami prekursorowymi makrofagów, i makrofagi tkankowe mogą przenosić SARS-CoV-2 u pacjentów do takich narządów jak: jądra, najądrza czy trzustka i wywoływać w nich proces zapalny, który w przypadku trzustki może powodować cukrzycę.

GEÇ ORTAÇAĞ DÖNEMİ’NDE MISIR ve KUZEY AFRİKA’DA KALENDERÎLİK
Authors: ŞEN Muhammed Seyyit
Published: December 2021

Genellikle Türk akademisi Kalenderî ve Haydarî gibi derviş gruplarının Orta Asya kökenleri üzerinde durmakta ve Şaman kültürünün derviş gruplarıyla olan bağlantısına vurgu yapmaktadır. Bununla alakalı olarak, Ehl-i Beyt Sevgisi-Ehl-i Beyt’ten olma ve gazâ-cihâd faaliyetlerinde bulunma gibi olguların ‘Türkmen Kültürü’ne has özellikler olduğu fikri benimsenmektedir. Bu bakış açısı, Ortadoğu bölgesini ihmal etmekte ve Ortadoğu Sûfî geleneğinin derviş grupları üzerindeki etkisini göz ardı etmektedir. Dolayısıyla, bu makalede Mısır ve Kuzey Afrika’daki Kalenderîler üzerine odaklanacağım. Şeyh el-Irâkî (ö. 1487)’nin hayatından yola çıkarak Kalenderîlerin Ortadoğu ve Kuzey Afrika’da nasıl yayıldıklarını, devlet ve toplumla nasıl bir etkileşim ve iletişim içerisinde bulunduklarını analiz edeceğim. Yine, derviş kültürünün geç Ortacağ döneminde Ortadoğu sosyal ve dini tarihinin nasıl önemli bir parçası haline geldiğini inceleyeceğim.
