Duchowe przygotowanie do Światowych Dni Młodzieży w Lizbonie na podstawie orędzi papieża Franciszka z lat 2020-2022
Authors: Przywara Marcin
Published: June 2023

Światowe Dni Młodzieży od wielu lat są jedną z największych inicjatyw duszpasterstwa młodzieżowego w Kościele. Każda edycja tego wydarzenia dotyka nowych problemów i wyzwań młodego pokolenia. W artykule autor przedstawia krótko historię Światowych Dni Młodzieży oraz analizuje treść orędzi papieża Franciszka na lata 2020-2022 w celu znalezienia myśli przewodniej dotyczącej przygotowania do lizbońskiej edycji tego spotkania. W pracy zastosowano metodę analizy i syntezy oraz metodę porównawczą. Z analizowanych poniżej orędzi papieskich wynika jasno, że czas, w którym organizowane są najbliższe Światowe Dni Młodzieży, to bardzo trudny okres dla świata i Kościoła powszechnego. Pandemia COVID-19 bowiem oraz wojna na Ukrainie odcisnęły potężne piętno na sposobie przeżywania codzienności przez współczesnego człowieka. Porównując treść poszczególnych orędzi, można również dojść do wniosku, że papież Franciszek doskonale orientuje się w sytuacji życiowej najmłodszego pokolenia, szukając sposobu rozwiązania poszczególnych wyzwań i problemów stojących przed młodzieżą.

The light triad moral dimension and resilience as predictors of health behaviors among COVID-19 convalescents
Authors: Spałek Szymon
Published: June 2023

Research on the frequency of health-related behaviors performed by people after COVID-19 and its relationship with personal resources, personality traits and positive orientation to other people are intended to shed new light on the situation of convalescents after suffering from the disease. The purpose of this thesis was to identify and determine the relationship between moral dimension of the Light Triad, resilience and health behaviors among COVID-19 convalescents. The study involved 204 people aged 18 to 75 years who reported having COVID-19 disease. Each respondent was asked to complete an identical set of survey tools, which consisted of: survey information, metrics and three tools to determine the level of surveyed variables. These were the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), the Light Triad Scale (LTS) and the Health Behaviors Inventory (IZZ). Studies have shown that there are statistically significant associations between resilience, the Light Triad and health behaviors among COVID-19 convalescents. Resilience and the Light Triad have been found to be predictors of health behaviors in the COVID-19 recovery group, which means that individuals who treat adversity as developmental challenges and are positively oriented towards other people in the face of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease show a higher level of health behaviors after the disease.
Problematyka ważności i godziwości sakramentu pokuty sprawowanego w Bractwie Kapłańskim Świętego Piusa X (FSSPX) według regulacji wydanych z okazji Nadzwyczajnego Jubileuszu Roku Miłosierdzia 2015/2016
Authors: Pietras Dawid
Published: June 2023

Analizy zawarte w artykule dotyczą sprawowania sakramentu pokuty przez kapłanów Bractwa Kapłańskiego Świętego Piusa X (FSSPX). Celem opracowania jest scharakteryzowanie papieskich regulacji, ukazanie ich relacji do norm zawartych w aktualnym Kodeksie prawa kanonicznego oraz stanowiska wspólnoty wobec udzielonych upoważnień. W opracowaniu zastosowano metodę dogmatyczno-prawną, polegającą na analizie istniejących uregulowań prawnych. Przeprowadzone badania obejmują okres od 2015 roku, kiedy papież Franciszek wyposażył kapłanów Bractwa w upoważnienie do ważnego i godziwego celebrowania spowiedzi z okazji Nadzwyczajnego Jubileuszu Roku Miłosierdzia. Upoważnienie to wciąż obowiązuje. Analizy wykazują, że wydane upoważnienia dotyczą miejsc kultu FSSPX i zostały wydane w celu ułatwienia uzyskania przez tę wspólnotę pełnej jedności eklezjalnej oraz by uzyskać pewność co do ważności i godziwości tego sakramentu. Ponadto zostały udzielone habitualnie kapłanom nieregularnym kanonicznie, nieinkardynowanym i trwającym w suspensie, co należy rozumieć jako „rozluźnienie” tejże cenzury w kwestii sakramentu pokuty. Stolica Apostolska nie postawiła przy tym żadnych dodatkowych wymagań wobec tych duchownych. Po wydaniu upoważnień Bractwo podtrzymało tezę, że sakrament ten był i jest ważny ze względu na „jurysdykcję nadzwyczajną” spowodowaną stanem kryzysu Kościoła.
Study on the photoelectrocatalytic activity of reduced TiO2 nanotube films for removal of methyl orange
Authors: Thi Thanh Thuy Mai , Thi Van Anh Nguyen , Thi Xuan Mai , Vinh Tran Quang , Thi Binh Phan
Published: June 2023

The reduced TiO2 film on which a photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) process had occurred was created from TiO2 nanotube film electrodes by the electrochemical reduction method. The obtained samples’ structure and morphology were characterized using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronoamperometry, UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy, and Mott–Schottky plots were employed to examine the electrochemical and photoelectrochemical activities of the prepared electrodes. The results showed that the optimal conditions of cathodic polarization were a potential of −1.4 V for 60 min. The reduced TiO2 nanotube film electrode had better photoelectrochemical activities than pristine TiO2 under UV light due to the higher photocurrent density (13.7 mA‧cm−2) at 1.5 V (vs Ag/AgCl, sat. KCl reference electrode) compared to pristine TiO2 achieving 7.3 mA‧cm−2, indicating more effective charge separation and transport. The degradation of methyl orange (MO) on pristine TiO2 and reduced TiO2 electrodes was carried out in electrocatalytic (EC) and PEC conditions. The PEC process on the reduced TiO2 electrode had the highest MO processing efficiency (98.4%), and the EC process for MO removal on reduced TiO2 had higher efficiency (95.1%) than the PEC process on pristine TiO2 (89.2%).
A rare cause of hyperphenylalaninemia: four cases from a single family with DNAJC12 deficiency
Authors: Gunes Dilek , Senturk Leyli
Published: June 2023

Objectives

DNAJC12 deficiency (OMIM# 617384) is a new cause of hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA). The deficiency of the co-chaperone protein DNAJC12 was identified in 2017. To date, only 43 patients have been reported. Here, we report four patients from a single family with DNAJC12 deficiency while being followed up with a diagnosis of HPA.

Case presentation

Two of the patients, who were cousins, were diagnosed with HPA by newborn screening. And the other two patients were siblings of these patients. Neurological examinations were normal except for one patient with mild learning disability. A c.158-2A>T p.(?) biallelic pathogenic variant was detected in intron 2 of the DNAJC12 gene. In the 24 h tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) challenge test, there was a significant decrease in phenylalanine levels, especially at the 16th hour. Three patients had decreased homovalinic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), while only one had decreased 5HIAA. In treatment, sapropterin, levodopa/carbidopa and 5-OH tryptophan were started.

Conclusions

We propose that it will be beneficial to evaluate the patients who have unexplained hyperphenylalaninemia for DNAJC12 deficiency. Patients with early diagnosis of neurotransmitter deficiency may be given a chance to be treated before clinical symptoms begin.
Uric acid and sCD163 as biomarkers for metabolic dysfunction and MAFLD in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity
Authors: Orry Sofie , Dalstrup Jakobsen Dorthe , Kristensen Nickolai Malte , Meldgaard Bruun Jens
Published: June 2023

Objectives

The prevalence of childhood obesity increases globally, and noninvasive methods are needed to identify metabolic dysfunction and obesity-related complications such as pediatric metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). We investigated whether uric acid (UA) and the macrophage marker soluble form of cysteine scavenger receptor CD163 (sCD163) can be used as biomarkers for deteriorated metabolism or pediatric MAFLD in children with overweight or obesity.

Methods

Cross-sectional clinical and biochemical data from 94 children with overweight or obesity was included. Surrogate liver markers were calculated, and correlations were investigated using Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation test.

Results

UA and sCD163 correlated with BMI standard deviation score (r=0.23, p<0.05; r=0.33, p<0.01) and body fat (r=0.24, p<0.05; r=0.27, p=0.01). UA correlated with triglycerides (ρ=0.21, p<0.05), fat free mass (r=0.33, p<0.01), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (r=0.39, p<0.01). sCD163 correlated with the pediatric NAFLD fibrosis score (r=0.28, p<0.01) and alanine aminotransferase (r=0.28, p<0.01). No correlation was found between UA and pediatric MAFLD.

Conclusions

UA and sCD163 was identified as markers of a deranged metabolic profile, thus acting as easily accessible biomarkers for obesity and an obesity-related deranged metabolism. Furthermore, increasing levels of sCD163 could be a useful biomarker of pediatric MAFLD. Future prospective studies are warranted.

Authors: Li Jie , Zhang Zonglu
Published: June 2023

This article attempts to effectively reduce the impact of active noise pollution on human life, and to make up for the traditional passive noise control technique. In low-frequency noise control, there are some shortcomings. The making of active noise control (ANC) technique, in low-frequency noise reduction, can achieve very good results. This article proposes a versatile dynamic noise control framework based on computer simulation and modeling. The research is mainly focused on the principle and application of versatile dynamic noise control framework. To accomplish this, a research method combining theoretical analysis, software simulation, and hardware realization is adopted. The derivation process of the adaptive algorithm (LMS algorithm, filter-XLMS algorithm, etc.) is introduced in detail, and the influencing factors of algorithm performance, a variable step size normalization algorithm based on relative error is proposed. Perform simulation calculations on various algorithms in MATLAB, analyze parameters such as step factor, filter order, etc., and the degree of influence on the algorithm’s convergence speed and steady-state performance. Common command set software is used, the path adaptive identification is realized, and the program design of the versatile dynamic noise control framework is used. After completion of software and hardware debugging on the experimental platform of generalized comfort, the experimental equipment layout is completed. Using the additive random noise method, the adaptive offline modeling of the first path of the versatile dynamic noise control framework is realized. Finally, utilizing the experimental platform of generalized comfort, the adaptive ANC experiment of the single-channel filtered least mean square algorithm is conducted, then the experimental data are analyzed, and at last, the actual application effect of the versatile dynamic noise control framework is verified.

Published: June 2023

Climate change is recognized as a global threat that negatively impacts biodiversity and forest resources. The use of existing indicators for sustainable forest management (SFM) related to biodiversity and climate change, as well as the development of new indicators, will help assess how forest management practices impact biodiversity enhancement and climate change mitigation. A Pan-European set of criteria and indicators has been developed as a policy instrument for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting on the progress in implementing SFM. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and Western Balkans in general, the Pan-European set of criteria and indicators is an insufficiently researched topic and there is a lack of scientific research conducted regarding their development and implementation. Through the analysis of the current situation in forestry of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), regarding the compliance and importance of the Pan-European criteria for SFM, this paper aims to explain how the international process of development and application of the Pan-European criteria for SFM can contribute to the improvement of the situation in forestry and the creation of a consistent forest policy in FBiH. The survey among forestry professionals (n=360), from the public forest administration and public forest companies in FBiH, included the sets of questions related to socio-demographic characteristics, assessment of compliance and importance of six criteria of SFM. Research results revealed that forestry professionals are mainly males, on average 41 years old, with 13 years of working experience. The majority of forestry professionals in FBiH are not familiar with Pan-European criteria for SFM, and have a low level of their understanding. On average, forestry professionals indicated that the Pan-European criteria for SFM were of high importance, while compliance with current forest management activities were rated lower on average. The large differences between responses regarding the average rating of compliance and importance of the Pan-European criteria for SFM indicate their low level of implementation in FBiH forest management activities. Accordingly, the results indicate that there is a need to organize educational lifelong learning programs in FBiH forestry sector, involving forestry professionals and other interested parties, to generate knowledge related to the Pan-European criteria for SFM and the concept of SFM in general.
Eating your mitochondria—when too much of a good thing turns bad
Authors: Wilhelm Léa P , Ganley Ian G
Published: June 2023

How mitophagy is turned on to remove damaged or excess mitochondria from cells has been well‐studied, but less is known about how the pathway is turned off to avoid “over‐eating” of mitochondria under basal conditions. Three new studies now reveal the disease‐associated FBXL4 protein as an important negative regulator of constitutive mitophagy, controlling the stability of mitophagy receptors BNIP3 and NIX.
Capital, fictions, and ecology
Authors: Zizek Slavoj
Published: June 2023

Marx's critique of political economy describes the expanded reproduction of the capital as the basic reality of our societies, and it may seem that Marx ignores two main externalities of the social reproduction of the capital, the domain of symbolic fictions and nature, the presupposed habitat of every social activity. 
This impression is wrong. marx's capital discovers fiction in the very heart of the circulation of capital: what he calls "commodity fetishism" is a symbolic fiction which is not just an ideology . it structures the very social reality of the capitalist process. Plus ecology was in the very center of Marx's preoccupation in the last decade of his life: he clearly saw how the expanded capitalist production leads to a rift between society and nature, a rift which threatens the very survival of human species. For Marx already, socialism was eco´-socialism.
Hanghaus 2 in Ephesos. Die Wohneinheit 7
Authors: Rathmayr Elisabeth
Published: June 2023

Das Hanghaus 2 in Ephesos gehört zu den am besten erhaltenen antiken Wohnhäusern im östlichen Mittelmeerraum. Es ist eine große Insula auf mehreren Geländeterrassen, die sieben mehrgeschoßige Wohneinheiten umfasst, die alle dem Typus des Peristylhauses folgen. Der privilegierte Status der Bewohner der Wohneinheiten wird bereits durch die zentrale Lage des Hanghauses 2 an der Kuretenstraße, einer der wichtigsten Haupt- und Prozessionsstraßen der antiken Stadt, deutlich. Dem Konzept der Publikation der Hanghäuser in Ephesos folgend, werden in dem reich illustrierten Band der Baubefund mit den Bauphasen, der Architektur und den Wasserinstallationen sowie die Ausstattung mit den Wand- und Bodenverkleidungen aus Marmor, der Wandmalerei, den Stuckdekorationen und den Mosaiken ebenso vorgelegt wie die Skulpturenfunde, die Keramik, die Kleinfunde, das Glas und die Münzen sowie die archäozoologischen und die archäobotanischen Befunde. Darüber hinaus werden die Graffiti vorgestellt, die einen unmittelbaren Einblick in das Alltagsleben gewähren und sich in großer Zahl auf den Wandmalereien finden. Ferner werden die hellenistische Vorgängernutzung des Areals und partielle Nachnutzungen der frühbyzantinischen Zeit besprochen. Einzigartig an der Wohneinheit 7 ist der archäologische Nachweis von der Existenz eines Kaiserkults. Bereits in der ersten Wohnperiode des 1. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. dürften die lebensgroßen Büsten des Tiberius und seiner vergöttlichten Mutter Livia hier aufgestellt worden sein, denen man auf einem großen marmornen Altar und Tisch im Hof Opfer darbrachte. Aufgrund einer Türverbindung der Wohneinheit 7 zur benachbarten Wohneinheit 6 ist davon auszugehen, dass beide Häuser von ein und derselben Familie bewohnt wurden. Diese ist durch in-situ-Inschriften in der Wohneinheit 6 bekannt, die mit Gaius Flavius Furius Aptus den Hausherrn der ersten Hälfte des 2. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. nennen. Umgestaltungen von Architektur und Ausstattung des Stadthauses des Furius Aptus sind auf dessen soziopolitischen Status zurückzuführen, der sich vor allem auch in den von ihm ausgeübten Ämtern eines Alytarchen und Dionysospriesters äußert.
“Make a reasonable effort”: Translation policy for Texas state websites
Authors: González Núñez Gabriel , Fresno Nazaret
Published: June 2023

Language plays a key role in democracy. In fact, the role of language in democratic societies is so crucial that scholars have addressed it thoroughly through different lenses, ranging from law to language policy. This article, in turn, seeks to add to the scholarship on democracy and language rights by considering the role of translation policy in the development of linguistically inclusive public web pages. To that end, the study considers the State of Texas's translation policy as it relates to its online presence. Specifically, it approaches translation policy by looking at translation management, translation practice, and translation beliefs as observed in the efforts that state government agencies in Texas make when localizing their websites for the inclusion or integration of linguistic minorities. In so doing, it explores the relationship between written rules and the belief in providing language access in government agencies and how this affects the practice of translation in websites.
Referential explicitation of English translated diplomatic discourse? A 50-year 56-lingual corpus-based study on United Nations general debate speeches (1970–2019)
Authors: Shen Lin
Published: June 2023

Research on explicitation has been criticized by a lack of diachronic analyses and multi-lingual comparisons. This study, therefore, conducts a 50-year (1970–2019) comparison of referential explicitness between a 11,721,608-token corpus of English translated diplomatic discourse from 56 languages and a 11,113,036-token corpus of English original diplomatic discourse extracted from the United Nations General Debate Corpus (UNGDC) with the Multi-dimensional Analysis (MDA) framework. The findings suggest 1) a general tendency towards less explicitation for the English translated discourse in the UNGDC with time, 2) referential explicitation in Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, and 31 other languages (more often from Sino-Tibetan, Mongolic-Khitan, and 6 other language families) and implicitation in Japanese and 21 other languages (more often from Japonic and 4 other language families), and 3) changes in referential explicitness in the discourses of China, Russia, Spain, and UAE in comparison with Britain and the United States. The potential influence of language contact and source language interference may be further taken into account. With the findings, this study calls for more dynamic views and multi-lingual comparisons on explicitation in diverse genres to present a fuller picture of the translation universal.
Simbol Identitas Penggunaan Ayat Al-Qur’an dalam Film Indonesia (Kajian Semiotika Film Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck dan Makmum)
Authors: Alfathah Suryana , Maulana Rizqi Akbar
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the signs shown in the film Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck and the film Makmum where the focus of this research is on the use of verses from the Qur’an throughout the film. This research is qualitative in nature with a literature study using Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotic approach. The conclusion of this study is that film can be a medium of Islamic da'wah that contains Islamic messages. The Islamic identity contained in the two films includes cultural aspects, characters, clothing, and rituals performed. The use of verses from the Qur’an in the film Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck shows a message to study knowledge, social equality, serve parents, and believe in the power of Allah SWT. Meanwhile, in the film Makmum shows the attitude of human servitude for their weaknesses, asking for protection from Allah SWT, as well as signs of healing diseases through reciting verses from the Al-Quran.
Republicanism as Bad Religion
Authors: Crockford Susannah
Published: June 2023

Since Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, it has become commonplace for his opponents to refer to him as a “cult leader.” The apparent fanaticism of his supporters inspires both awe and fear in observers. His propensity to disseminate conspiracy theories and alleged encouragement of the Jan 6 insurrection pushes Trump beyond the boundaries of political norms. In this article, I trace the elements of Trump’s rhetorical and political style that led to accusations of his being some sort of charismatic “cult leader.” The analysis broadens to discuss the complex interconnections between modern Republicanism in the US and Protestant Christianity, examining how a form of nationalist morality has come to uphold their claims to power. Both opponents and supporters of Donald Trump see him in a religious frame, either as a dangerous authoritarian leader or messianic saviour. What does this tell us about the definitions and boundaries of religion and politics? And why does Donald Trump seem to trouble those boundaries?
Past the Pejorative
Authors: Deslippe Philip
Published: June 2023

Within the academic study of New Religious Movements, it has become standard to understand “cult” as a pejorative term which is dismissive of minority religions and in some cases harms them. This article, through a quantitative content analysis conducted by the author of various uses of the word “cult” in twenty-five American newspapers through the 1990s, is an attempt to understand, in detail and supported by data, how “cult” was applied to particular religious groups and used more widely within popular discourse. It argues that the word “cult” was primarily used for subjects that were not religious groups, and when it was applied to religious groups, it was largely done so to a very small number that all shared several characteristics. It further argues that “cult” should be understood as a complex term with a range of meanings and applications.

Future of Conferences
Authors: Csobod Judit
Published: June 2023

In this first piece of our new series, our contributors address issues around an important element of our academic infrastructure, namely conferences. We are all too familiar with the frustrations that emerge from outdated conference formats, the real-time manifestations of hierarchies, the lack of time and space for discussion in the official programs, the pricey and environmentally excessive travel and accommodation arrangements, and the overwhelmingly long days and exasperating parallel sessions. Although the pandemic presented us with a chance to rethink many of our business-as-usual practices, the disappointment of returning to post-COVID conferences that do not reflect any of these discussions and visions for the post-lockdown future is palpable. Returning to our manifesto mission, contemplating approaches for creating places for inclusivity, accessibility, kindness and safe spaces for debate, we have asked four colleagues to share their experiences at academic and non-academic conferences as a means to reinvigorate these discussions and (potentially) renew our interest in making positive and sustainable changes in how to network and we share our research.
In Search of Mercian Law
Authors: Vare Thomas
Published: June 2023

There are five extant English law codes from the sixth to the ninth century but, despite Mercia's having been an independent polity in the period, none are Mercian. Three seventh century Kentish royal law codes survive in a single twelfth century manuscript and two West-Saxon law codes survive elsewhere. The early English legal record is, therefore, thin and there are no extant law codes from the major Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Northumbria, East Anglia, or Mercia. As such, this article discusses possible answers to two questions: what Mercian law was and whether a Mercian law code ever existed.

Estimation of internal friction angle for working platform materials by plate load test
Authors: Chitambira Burden , Dewar Alastair
Published: June 2023

This paper reviews the load–settlement behaviour of 499 plate load tests of various diameters undertaken on granular soils and working platform materials to determine the angle of internal friction mobilised by the test. The observed settlement of individual plate load tests at relatively small settlement has been extrapolated to a theoretical failure of the plate at 10% and 15% of the plate's diameter (D). For each test an effective angle of internal shearing resistance was calculated based on the bearing resistance associated with the stress required to cause settlement of 0.10 or 0.15 times the plate diameter. The results are presented along with a discussion on the use of high-friction materials in working platforms and shallow foundations. Characteristic values for the effective angle of internal shearing resistance are provided for all working platform materials tested, as well as tests undertaken on platform materials comprising crushed brick and concrete. These values are compared to shear box test results on similar materials. Characteristic values of ϕ′ varying from 44° to 46.4° (0.1D) and 45.3° to 47.8° (0.15D) for crushed brick and concrete materials are calculated, which are slightly higher than those determined from tests on Type 1 material.

Critical meta-analysis of problem-solving serious games: Clear signs of pedagogists’ disengagement and over-optimistic expectations
Authors: Rezaei-Zadeh Morteza , Mohagheghiaan Raazieh , Vahidi-Asl Mojtaba
Published: June 2023

Problem-solving is placed at top of the ten most important life skills recommended by World Economic Forum. Serious game has been one of the dominant tools for educating people in different subjects over the last 10 years. This study aims to critically analyse previous empirical studies conducted on Problem-Solving Serious Games (PSSG). Using Constant Comparative Method (CCM) framework, 737 studies in this area are listed; and after applying several filters, 36 studies are refined and finally chosen. The analysis shows that serious games not alone improve people’s problem-solving ability, it also positively impacts on their problem-solving motivation, problem-solving measurement ability, critical thinking, and learning attitude. However, there is a lack of pedagogists’ engagement with PSSG studies. As a result, those studies suffered from lack of educational rationale behind and lack of right direction in choosing their participants, research methods, focus, genre, and expected outputs. Theoretical and practical implications of this critical analysis are outlined at the end of this paper, shedding light on the future directions of PSSG studies. the main conclusions of this study are as following: 1. An inter-disciplinary approach led by pedagogists is needed to design, develop, and examine PSSGs effectively. 2. The over-optimistic viewpoint about serious games in general and PSSGs in specific should be moderated by looking more closely at the negative marginal and side effects of implementing these games on gamers.
Using Visual Programming Games to Study Novice Programmers

Enabling programmers to write correct and efficient parallel code remains an important challenge, and the prevalence of on-chip accelerators exacerbates this challenge. Novice programmers, especially those in disciplines outside of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, need to be able to write code that exploits parallelism and heterogeneity, but the frameworks for writing parallel and heterogeneous programs expect expert knowledge and experience. More effort must be put into understanding how novice programmers solve parallel problems. Unfortunately, novice programmers are difficult to study because they are, by definition, novices. We have designed a visual programming language and game-based framework for studying how novice programmers solve parallel problems. This tool was used to conduct an initial study on 95 undergraduate students with little to no prior programming experience. 71% of all volunteer participants completed the study in 48 minutes on average. This study demonstrated that novice programmers could solve parallel problems, and this framework can be used to conduct more thorough studies of how novice programmers approach parallel code.
Mağrib ve Kuzey Afrika Mushaflarında Takip Edilen İmam Hebtî’nin (ö. 930/1523) Vakf Sistemi ve Vakf-İbtidâ İlmindeki Yeri
Authors: Salihoğlu Alaaddin
Published: June 2023

Tecvid ve kırâat ilimleri içerisinde önemli bir yere sahip olan vakf-ibtidâ ilmi, Kur’an’ın doğru okunması ve âyetlerdeki murâd-ı ilâhînin anlaşılması noktasında büyük katkı sağlamaktadır. İslamiyet’in erken dönemlerden itibaren bu ilim dalında farklı âlimlerin çeşitli çalışmaları olmuştur. Bu bağlamda önemli katkıları olan kişilerin başında hicrî IX. asır Fas âlimlerinden Muhammed b. Ebî Cum‘a es-Semâtî el-Hebtî (ö. 930/1523) yer almaktadır. Onun kurmuş olduğu vakf sistemi Mağrib merkezli Kuzey Afrika bölgesinde tercih edilen hemen hemen tek sistem olmuştur. Öyle ki bugün söz konusu bölgede yedi kırâat imamından Nâfi‘ el-Medenî (ö. 169/785) kırâatine göre basılan mushaflarda Hebtî’nin vakf sistemi ve sembolü uygulanmakta ve yüzyıllardır bölge Müslümanları bu sisteme bağlı kalarak Kur’an okumaktadırlar.
Hebtî’nin vakf sisteminin inceleneceği bu çalışmada, öncelikle vakf-ibtidâ ilminin gelişmesi ve tarihsel süreci, yanı sıra vakf işaretlerinin mushaflara yansıması açısından oluşan vakf ekolleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Daha sonra İmam Hebtî’nin hayatı, hocaları, talebeleri ve eserleri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Ardından Hebtî’nin vakf sistemi ele alınarak bu sistemin ortaya çıkışındaki sebep ve saiklere yer verilmiş, bölgede tercih edilmesinin nedenleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte Hebtî’nin vakf sisteminin genel özellikleri ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada yöntem bakımından mukayese ve tarama metodu kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda bir âyetin vakf konusunda tahlili yapılırken müfessirler ile vakf âlimlerinin görüşlerine yer verildikten sonra Hebtî’nin sistemini esas alan mushaflar ile bu sistemi esas almayan mushaflar arasında genel bir mukayese yapılmıştır.

Bu çalışmada günümüz gençliğine yönelik dine bakış ölçeği geçerlik ve güvenirlik analiz bulguları ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı gençlerin dine bakışını teorik (inanç), sosyolojik (muamelat), kurumsal (dini otorite), bireysel (bireysel maneviyatçılık) ve dindarlara sempati düzeyinde ele almak ve bu faktörler ışığında gençliğin dine bakışını ölçecek düzeyde geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemine ait anket tekniği ve ilişkisel tarama tekniği birlikte kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklem grubu Ordu Üniversitesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 489 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışma sadece üniversite gençlerini ve araştırmaya genel olarak katılan 18-24 yaş aralığını kapsamaktadır. Katılımcıların %94,3’ü 18-23 yaş arasında iken sadece %5,6 oranında 24 yaş ve üzeridir. Gençlik biyolojik anlamda genel olarak bu yaş aralığını kapsadığı için bu çalışmada da bu yaş aralığı benimsenmiştir. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması için kapsam ve yapı geçerliliğine başvurulmuştur. Kapsam geçerliliği için uzman görüşü alınmış, yapı geçerliliği için ise Açımlayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör analizleri yapılmıştır. Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi için SPSS 26 programı; Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi için ise AMOS 22 programı kullanılmıştır. Güvenirlilik analizi için başvurulan Cronbach’s Alpha (0,948) ve McDonald’s Omega (0,954) değerleri ölçeğin yüksek derecede güvenilir olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırma sonucunda dini inanç, dini muamelat, dini otoriteye güven, dindarlara sempati ve bireysel maneviyatçılık ismini verdiğimiz beş faktörlü 29 maddeden oluşan varyansın %70,80’ini açıklayan bir ölçek elde edilmiştir. Ölçekten maksimum 145 puan alınırken minimum 29 puan alınmaktadır. Gençlere Yönelik Dine Bakış ölçeğinde 145’e yakın puanlar dine bakışın olumlu düzeyde olduğunu; 29’a yakın puanlar dine bakışın olumsuz düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir. Yapılan geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri Gençliğe Yönelik Dine Bakış Ölçeğinin üniversite öğrencilerinin dine bakışlarını ölçmede kullanılabilir nitelikte olduğunu göstermektedir.
Kitâbetü’l-Hadîs’e İlişkin Müsteşriklerin Görüşleri
Authors: Düzenli Muhittin
Published: June 2023

Hadislerin Hz. Peygamber döneminde yazılıp yazılmadığı hususu Müslüman alimler tarafından tartışıldığı gibi Oryantalistlerin de yakından ilgilendiği bir mesele olmuştur. Kuşkusuz oryantalistlerin hadis ilmi ile bu kadar yakından ilgilenmelerinin arka planında, hadis / sünnet rivâyetlerinin İslam toplumu içerisinde Kur’ân’dan sonra ikinci temel kaynak olarak kabul edilmesi ve Müslümanların hayatını şekillendirmede belirleyici bir rol oynaması vardır. İslam hakkında araştırma yapan oryantalistlerin hemen hemen tamamı hadisle ilgili konulara özellikle de hadislerin yazılması meselesine az çok temas etmişlerdir. Bu çalışma Batı dünyasında hadis ile ilgili oryantalistik düşünceyi şekillendiren araştırmacıların hadislerin yazılması konusundaki fikirlerini ele almayı ve değerlendirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Çalışmamızda içerik analizine başvurulmuş ve hadisle ilgili Batı dünyasında etkili olan oryantalistlerin hadislerin yazılmasına yönelik tespitleri tahlil ve değerlendirilmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Bu incelemenin sonucunda hadis konusunda araştırmalar yapan oryantalistlerden, hadislerin hâfızaya yardımcı olmak amacıyla şahsi ders notları şeklinde de olsa erken dönemde yazılı olarak kaydedildiğini kabul eden Alois Sprenger ve Muslim Studies’te dile getirdiği ilk görüşü esas alınırsa Ignaz Goldziher, Nabia Abbott, Harald Motzki ve Schoeler gibi araştırmacılar olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak Goldziher’in daha sonra rivâyetlerin erken dönemde yazıldığına dair fikrini değiştirerek aksi yönde bazı iddialar ortaya attığı da bilinmektedir. Buna karşılık Abbott’un düşüncelerinin, Müslüman bilginlerin genel kabulüne en yakın kabul edilebilecek nitelikte olduğu söylenebilir.
Kur’ân’da Teshîr Kavramı Bağlamında Allah-Varlık İlişkisi
Authors: Karataş Gülsüm
Published: June 2023

Teshîr kavramı sebep, gaye ve yön bakımından çok boyutlu bir kavramdır. Dolayısıyla bu kavrama kapsamlı bir şekilde bakmak için Allah-İnsan-Varlık arasındaki ilişkilerin yerli yerine oturtulması elzemdir. Bu konuda belirleyici olan Kur'ânî bir bakış açısıyla hareket etmektir. Kur'ânî perspektiften uzak ve farklı düşünce evreninin etkisi altında yapılan bütün yaklaşımlar beraberinde birçok olumsuzluğu getirecektir. Arzu edilen ve üzerinde durulan husus, varlığa dair Kur'ân'a dayalı sahih ve sağlam bir varlık tasavvuru inşa etme çabasıdır.
Mukaddimetü’l-Cezerî’nin Muhtevası ve Metodu
Authors: Bostan Osman
Published: June 2023

Bu makalede, İbnü’l-Cezerî’nin (ö. 833/1429) tecvid ilmine dair kaleme aldığı, “Mukaddimetü’l-Cezerî”, “Manzûmetü’l-Cezerî” ve “Mukaddime” gibi adlarla şöhret bulan eseri muhteva ve yöntem açısından incelenmiştir. Hacim olarak küçük fakat ele aldığı konular açışından geniş bir muhtevaya sahip olan söz konusu eser, telif edildiği dönemden itibaren büyük bir şöhrete kavuşmuş ve kıraat eğitim-öğretiminin temel kaynakları arasındaki yerini almıştır. Kütüphanelerde çok sayıda yazma nüshası bulunan eserin tahkik ve neşri yapılmış olup kıraat âlimleri tarafından üzerine birçok şerh yazılmıştır. Tecvid ilminin hemen bütün konularını ihtiva etmesi ve manzûm olarak kaleme alınıp hafızaya kolay yerleşmesi gibi sebeplerden ötürü birçok Kur’an talebesi tarafından da ezberlenmiştir. Eserde genel hatlarıyla, tecvid ilminin tanımı; harflerin mahreç ve sıfatları; vakf ve ibtidâ; mushaf’ta maktû‘ ve mevsûl olarak yazılan yerler ile müenneslik anlamını ifade etmekle birlikte kapalı tâ (ة) şeklinde değil de açık tâ (ت) olarak yazılan yerler vb. hususlara değinilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Mukaddimetü’l-Cezerî’de yer verilen konular bir tasnife tabi tutularak müellifin, mevzuları izah ederken görüşlerini dayandırdığı âlimler ve eserler tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca İbnü’l-Cezerî’nin, konuları işlerken takip ettiği metot hakkında bilgi verilerek eserin tecvid ilmindeki yeri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
Visual strategies of sustainability communication on corporate webpages. A critical multimodal discourse analysis in the hospitality sector
Authors: Fernández Vallejo Ana María
Published: June 2023

Anchored in the methodology of digital corporate communication, multimodal discourse analysis, legitimation and relevance theories, the research focuses on the contribution of images – photographs and logos– to sustainability meanings conveyed by the websites to the different stakeholders. The corpus analysis includes 330 images coming from the five hotel chains most sustainable according to the Sustainability Yearbook 2022. These images were downloaded manually from the English corporate websites and particularly from the sites with the header and sub-header related to sustainability. The research procedure was organized in three phases from a quantitative and qualitative perspective by answering the questions: “what do you see?”, “what should the images represent regarding sustainability issues?” and “how visual elements are utilized to convey the different dimensions of sustainability on web pages?”. The results obtained show that, on the one hand, the hotel chains preferred photographs of people in order to elicit people's dimension and humanize their image and, on the other hand, the photographs of nature that depict planet dimension and would be the expected, are in the third position. With sustainability communication as a complex area of investigation, the aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it aims at contributing to the studies of sustainability communication from a multimodal perspective. On the other hand, it aims at strengthening and furthering a methodological tool to critically analyse the sustainability discourse as a multimodal digital discursive practice.
How does a research topic evolve into a research field? — a bibliometric analysis of metadiscourse research
Authors: Dong Jihua
Published: June 2023

This study adopted a bibliometric approach to trace the diachronic changes in the metadiscourse research, based on the research articles and their unique references retrieved from the web of science (WOS) core collections from 1980-2020. CiteSpace software was employed to conduct a co-citation analysis to investigate the common themes, the developmental stages, as well as the landmark publications of this domain in the last four decades. Twelve major themes (represented by clusters) were identified; studies in these clusters progressed through three developmental stages, namely: the conceptualizing stage, the maturing stage, and the flourishing stage. Three key transformative studies were identified which contribute to ushering in the developmental stage. The use of structural variation analysis in reaching these findings helped to solve the heavy reliance on co-citation analysis. Our analysis identified unique features in the trajectory of metadiscourse research which can contribute to the deconstruction of the development of scientific fields.
