An Examination of Cases of Drowning in Water in Sinop Province
Authors: UĞURLU Alkan
Published: June 2020

The water environment offers a wide range of opportunities for people to have fun, organize activities for sports and recreation. The water environment is not an environment in which people can survive. But the buoyancy and the physical properties of the human make it possible to float on the surface of the water without sinking. Drowning in water; is a chain of events that starts with respiratory inhibition caused by sinking in the water environment and ends with complete cessation. Drowning can be considered as an important problem within the scope of public health. The number of people who lost their lives by drowning in a year is estimated to be around a thousand in Turkey. The aim of this study is to examine the deaths caused by drowning in the province of Sinop in terms of the number of people drowning on a yearly basis, the reasons for being there, the demographic characteristics of these people, how the drowning took place and the environment in which drowning events took place. In this research, online search engines were crawled with the following keywords, "drowned in the sea", "drowned in the water", "dropped into the water and drowned", "victim saved but savior drowned ", "couldn’t save and drowned", "drowned while swimming" etc. and news about drowning were collected on a daily basis based on the date of 01.01.2005 and 31.12.2016. In the light of the information obtained from these news, the information of the people who drowned, the place of the drowning event, the reasons for being at the scene of the incident, the water environment, etc. were recorded. The analysis of the data was carried out with the SPSS 21 package program and 2 of the descriptive statistical methods, frequency and percentage tests were used. As a result, the number of people who died by drowning in the city of Sinop in 12 years was determined to be 64. Swimming and water safety training should be provided from a young age in order to prevent deaths as a result of drowning.

Published: June 2020

Bu çalışmada; Covid-19 sürecinde fiziksel aktivite yapan spor bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin saldırganlık düzeylerinin farklı değişkenlere göre incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Araştırmaya Afyon ve Denizli illerinde %57,9’u erkek, %42,1’i kadın 214 öğrenci katılmıştır. Çalışmada; öğrencilerin saldırganlık düzeylerini ölçmek için İpek İlter Kiper (1984) tarafından geliştirilen “Saldırganlık Envanteri” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 25.0 istatistik paket programı kullanılmıştır. Kişisel özellikler frekans ve yüzde değerleri analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin normal dağılım göstermeleri sebebiyle parametrik testler olan bağımsız örnekler t-testi ve ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin saldırganlık düzeylerini belirlemek için betimleyici istatistiklerden yararlanılmıştır. Ayrıca alt grupların farklılığı belirlemek için Bonferroni ve Tamhane kullanılmıştır (α=0,05).
Verilerin analizi sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre; cinsiyet ve spor türü değişkenlerine göre yapılan karşılaştırmalarda ölçeğin yıkıcı ve edilgen saldırganlık alt boyutlarında anlamlı bir farklılaşma tespit edilirken atılganlık alt boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı saptanmıştır. Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi öğrencilerinin yaş değişkeni ile ölçeğin atılganlık ve edilgenlik alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık görülürken, yıkıcı saldırganlık alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık olmadığı görülmüştür. Günlük fiziksel aktivite süresi değişkeni ile edilgenlik alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık görülürken, yıkıcı saldırganlık ve atılganlık alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Boş zaman değerlendirme, günlük hayatta kendini nasıl hissediyorsun ve Covid-19’dan etkilenme durumları ile saldırganlık arasında anlamlı farklılık olmadığı görülmüştür.
Sonuç olarak; spor bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin saldırganlık düzeylerinin orta seviyede olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

CODAS METHOD FOR 2-TUPLE LINGUISTIC PYTHAGOREAN FUZZY MULTIPLE ATTRIBUTE GROUP DECISION MAKING AND ITS APPLICATION TO FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
Authors: He Tingting , Zhang Siqi , Wei Guiwu , Wang Rui , Wu Jiang , Wei Cun
Published: June 2020

Financial management performance evaluation (FMPE) has a significant effect on the identifying an investment chance.
We can usually consider FMPE as a multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) issue, and the MAGDM method is needed to address it.
Uncertainty may be one of the significant factors which could influence the process of MAGDM. In order to handle the uncertainty of group
decision-making issues, MAGDM approaches along with 2-tuple linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy sets (2TLPFSs) have been designed. In this essay,
CODAS method is extended to 2TLPFSs to tackle MAGDM issues. Linguistic variables and 2TLPFSs are also used to extend the CODAS method. An
application of the presented 2-tuple linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy CODAS (2TLPF-CODAS) method to a case study of FMPE problem with 2-tuple
linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (2TLPFNs) is given. To confirm the results, a comparative analysis between the fuzzy CODAS and 2TLPF-TODIM
is performed. The results of the comparison illustrate that the presented 2TLPF-CODAS method offers effective and steady results.
Cosmic Evolution of Stellar-mass Black Hole Merger Rate in Active Galactic Nuclei

Published: June 2020

Binary black hole mergers encode information about their environment and the astrophysical processes that led to their formation. Measuring the redshift dependence of their merger rate will help probe the formation and evolution of galaxies and the evolution of the star formation rate. Here we compute the cosmic evolution of the merger rate for stellar-mass binaries in the disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We focus on recent evolution out to redshift z = 2, covering the accessible range of current Earth-based gravitational-wave observatories. On this scale, the AGN population density is the main contributor to redshift dependence. We find that the AGN-assisted merger rate varies by less than a factor of two in the range 0 < z ≤ 2, comparable to the expected level of evolution for globular clusters, but much smaller than the order-of-magnitude evolution for field binaries.
The Preservation of Super-Earths and the Emergence of Gas Giants after Their Progenitor Cores Have Entered the Pebble-isolation Phase
Authors: Chen 陈逸 Yi-Xian 贤 , Li 李亚 Ya-Ping 平 , Li 李 Hui 晖 , Lin 林 Douglas N. C. 潮
Published: June 2020

The omnipresence of super-Earths suggests that they are able to be retained in natal disks around low-mass stars, whereas exoplanets’ mass distributions indicate that some cores have transformed into gas giants through runaway gas accretion at ≳1 au from solar-type stars. In this paper, we show that transition to runaway gas accretion by cores may be self-impeded by an increase of the grain opacity in their envelope after they have acquired sufficient mass (typically ∼ 10M
⊕) to enter a pebble-isolation phase. The accumulation of approximately millimeter- to meter-sized pebbles in their migration barriers enhances their local fragmentation rates. The freshly produced submillimeter grains pass through the barrier, elevate the effective dust opacity, and reduce the radiative flux in the core’s envelope. These effects alone are adequate to suppress the transition to runaway accretion and preserve super-Earths in the stellar proximity (∼0.1 au), albeit entropy advection between the envelope and the disk can further reduce the accretion rate. At an intermediate distance (∼1 au) from their host stars, the escalation in the dust opacity dominates over entropy advection in stalling the transition to runaway accretion for marginally pebble-isolated cores. Beyond a few astronomical unit, the transformation of more-massive cores to gas giants is reachable before severe depletion of disk gas. This requirement can be satisfied either in extended disks with large scale height via orderly accretion of migrating pebbles or through the mergers of oligarchic protoplanetary embryos, and can account for the correlated occurrence of long-period gas giants and close-in super-Earths.

Published: June 2020

Fiddler crabs are one of the most notable animal groups in Brazilian estuarine environments, due to their high density and characteristic waving of males. An illustrated key to the ten species recorded as far in the country is provided using only clearly visible characters of males. Furthermore, additional recognition characters, information about geographic distribution and biology of each species are presented. Most examined crabs were collected in Guaratuba Bay, southern Brazil.
Subjetividad, desigualdad social y malestares de género: una relectura del DSM-V
Authors: Pujal i Llombart Margot , Calatayud Marina , Amigot Patricia
Published: June 2020

Este artículo presenta un análisis crítico del DSM-V (Diag­nostic and Statitstical Manual of Mental Disorders) y una propuesta de comprensión del malestar psicológico desde una perspectiva de género y psicosocial. A partir de las di­ferencias por prevalencia de sexo expuestas en el DSM-V, analizamos la relación entre los mandatos normativos de género y la emergencia de malestares. Frente al paradig­ma biomédico que construye “trastornos” a partir de sínto­mas descontextualizados, indagamos en el impacto sub­jetivo del sistema de género, entendido como dispositivo de poder. Articulamos una estrategia metodológica que parte de los niveles informativos y textuales y se desplaza a los contextuales e interpretativos del análisis del discur­so. Destacamos que las diferencias y la desigualdad en el malestar entre varones y mujeres se corresponden con los ejes actividad-pasividad y poder-subordinación que ca­racterizan la construcción social de la masculinidad y de la feminidad. En este sentido, vinculamos los malestares con las vulnerabilidades y privilegios derivados de tal cons­trucción y proponemos la noción de malestares de género para esclarecerlos.

Este trabajo analiza la implicación de las universidades es­pañolas en la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres. La unidad de análisis han sido los planes de igualdad desarrollados por cada una de ellas, así como el conjunto de medidas adop­tadas por estas instituciones para aplicarlos y evaluarlos. El análisis de la información se ha realizado con la técni­ca de análisis cualitativo comparado (QCA). El análisis de 83 universidades indica que factores como la celeridad en crear comisiones de igualdad, la creación de unidades de igualdad o la tenencia del primer plan de igualdad están relacionados con la calidad en la aplicación de la Ley Orgánica de Igualdad. Además, muestra que las universidades públi­cas ponen en marcha más que las privadas los planes de igualdad. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se destaca la necesidad de incrementar la sensibilidad de los equipos de gobierno hacia la igualdad de mujeres y hombres.
Hacia una visión cosmopolita de las fronteras. Desigualdades y migraciones desde la perspectiva de la justicia global
Authors: Velasco Juan Carlos
Published: June 2020

El control que los Estados ejercen sobre sus fronteras para evitar la entrada de inmigrantes representa un importante desafío normativo para una comprensión de la justicia de alcance global. Contraviniendo la tendencia dominante que ha conducido a la fortificación de las fronteras mediante muros y vallas, en este artículo se propone una forma alter­nativa de concebirlas que permita el movimiento fluido de las personas y evite la reproducción de las desigualdades globales. Con el objetivo de poner fin o, al menos, amorti­guar los sufrimientos generados por esta forma persistente de injusticia estructural, se presenta aquí un escenario en el que los Estados pongan en común su autoridad y sus recursos para reconfigurar el sistema económico mundial y compensar a las víctimas de la lotería por haber nacido en el lado equivocado de la frontera.
Comparing apples and oranges (and blueberries and grapes): fruit type affects development and cold susceptibility of immature Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: Jiménez-Padilla Yanira , Ferguson Laura V. , Sinclair Brent J.
Published: June 2020

Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a cosmopolitan polyphagous pest on unripe soft-skinned fruits. We sought to determine (1) temperature treatments that could be used to kill immature D. suzukii in fruit or packaging and (2) whether development on different fruits led to differences in cold tolerance of immature D. suzukii. We reared animals from egg on a banana-based laboratory diet and diets made of apple (Malus domestica Borkhausen; Rosaceae), blueberry (Vaccinium Linnaeus; Ericaceae), cherry (Prunus avium Linnaeus; Rosaceae), grape (Vitis Linnaeus; Vitaceae), orange (Citrus × sinensis (Linnaeus) Osbeck; Rutaceae), raspberry (Rubus Linnaeus; Rosaceae), or strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne; Rosaceae) homogenate in agar and measured development time, adult body size, and cold tolerance. Diet type had complex effects on development time; in particular, D. suzukii reared on apple-based or blueberry-based diets developed more slowly to a smaller adult body size than those on other diets. Cold exposure killed eggs and both first and second instars. Survival of 24 hours at +4 °C by feeding third instars was lowest in blueberry and cherry. Five days at +0.6 °C killed all feeding third instars; this treatment is likely sufficient for targeting D. suzukii in fruit. Two hours at −5 °C or −6 °C killed all wandering third instars and pupae; this exposure could be sufficient for sanitation of packaging.
Monitoring ofDrosophila suzukii(Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Okanagan Valley vineyards, British Columbia, Canada, and assessment of damage to table and wine grapes (Vitaceae)

Published: June 2020

Spotted-wing drosophila,Drosophila suzukii, (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), has become a serious pest of soft fruit in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada since its detection in 2009. The study was conducted to determine the distribution ofD.suzukiiand damage levels in grapes. Apple cider vinegar-baited traps placed in table and wine grape (Vitis viniferaLinnaeus; Vitaceae) vineyards during 2011–2013 demonstrated thatD. suzukiiwas numerous in all sites, with earliest emergence and highest numbers recorded in 2013.Drosophila suzukiiwere reared from intact and damaged table grapes and damaged wine grapes collected from the field, but not from intact wine grapes.Drosophila suzukiiwere reared in low numbers in 2011 from intact fruit of 11 wine grape cultivars exposed artificially in the laboratory. Susceptibility of intact wine grapes under laboratory conditions in 2011 when sour rot was widespread might relate in part to undetected infections of berries due to weather conditions. Identification ofDrosophilaFallén species revealed thatD. suzukiicomprised a small portion of the total. Our results demonstrate that healthy wine grapes in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia are largely undamaged byD. suzukii, while certain table grape cultivars should be protected from attack.

Published: June 2020

Spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is an invasive pest of many small and soft fruits. We present the first results concerning its oviposition in the canopy of a sweet cherry (Prunus avium Linnaeus; Rosaceae) orchard. We examined the distribution of arthropods emerging from fruits of five cultivars ripening successively over seven weeks, in interior and border rows, within four regions of the tree canopy (top/bottom height × north/south aspect), and measured the associated fruit ripeness (ºBrix). Single fruits were reared for more than two weeks: 1328 arthropods emerged from 887 cherries in June, and 10 426 emerged from 1071 cherries in July. When populations were low, significantly more D. suzukii were present in the northernmost row and northern canopy aspect. Later, its distribution with respect to cherry row, height, and aspect was homogenous. Drosophila suzukii density per sweet cherry was highest in the latest ripening cultivar, when its distribution was not homogeneous; significantly more D. suzukii were in the centre than the southernmost row, in the lower canopy, and the southern aspect, than elsewhere. In the early season, single egg clutches were found without aggregation. As population density increased, so did intraspecific aggregation, but D. suzukii did not co-exist with other Drosophila Fallén species, nor with Rhagoletis indifferens Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae) when present.
Impact of Cysteine Residues on MHC Binding Predictions and Recognition by Tumor-Reactive T Cells

Published: June 2020

The availability of MHC-binding prediction tools has been useful in guiding studies aimed at identifying candidate target Ags to generate reactive T cells and to characterize viral and tumor-reactive T cells. Nevertheless, prediction algorithms appear to function poorly for epitopes containing cysteine (Cys) residues, which can oxidize and form disulfide bonds with other Cys residues under oxidizing conditions, thus potentially interfering with their ability to bind to MHC molecules. Analysis of the results of HLA-A*02:01 class I binding assays carried out in the presence and absence of the reducing agent 2-ME indicated that the predicted affinity for 25% of Cys-containing epitopes was underestimated by a factor of 3 or more. Additional analyses were undertaken to evaluate the responses of human CD8+ tumor-reactive T cells against 10 Cys-containing HLA class I–restricted minimal determinants containing substitutions of α-aminobutyric acid (AABA), a cysteine analogue containing a methyl group in place of the sulfhydryl group present in Cys, for the native Cys residues. Substitutions of AABA for Cys at putative MHC anchor positions often significantly enhanced T cell recognition, whereas substitutions at non-MHC anchor positions were neutral, except for one epitope where this modification abolished T cell recognition. These findings demonstrate the need to evaluate MHC binding and T cell recognition of Cys-containing peptides under conditions that prevent Cys oxidation, and to adjust current prediction binding algorithms for HLA-A*02:01 and potentially additional class I alleles to more accurately rank peptides containing Cys anchor residues.
BCALM (AC099524.1) Is a Human B Lymphocyte–Specific Long Noncoding RNA That Modulates B Cell Receptor–Mediated Calcium Signaling

Published: June 2020

Of the thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) identified in lymphocytes, very few have defined functions. In this study, we report the discovery and functional elucidation of a human B cell–specific lncRNA with high levels of expression in three types of B cell cancer and normal B cells. The AC099524.1 gene is upstream of the gene encoding the B cell–specific phospholipase C γ 2 (PLCG2), a B cell–specific enzyme that stimulates intracellular Ca2+ signaling in response to BCR activation. AC099524.1 (B cell–associated lncRNA modulator of BCR-mediated Ca+ signaling [BCALM]) transcripts are localized in the cytoplasm and, as expected, CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of AC099524.1 did not affect PLCG2 mRNA or protein expression. lncRNA interactome, RNA immunoprecipitation, and coimmunoprecipitation studies identified BCALM-interacting proteins in B cells, including phospholipase D 1 (PLD1), and kinase adaptor proteins AKAP9 (AKAP450) and AKAP13 (AKAP-Lbc). These two AKAP proteins form signaling complexes containing protein kinases A and C, which phosphorylate and activate PLD1 to produce phosphatidic acid (PA). BCR stimulation of BCALM-deficient B cells resulted in decreased PLD1 phosphorylation and increased intracellular Ca+ flux relative to wild-type cells. These results suggest that BCALM promotes negative feedback that downmodulates BCR-mediated Ca+ signaling by promoting phosphorylation of PLD1 by AKAP-associated kinases, enhancing production of PA. PA activates SHP-1, which negatively regulates BCR signaling. We propose the name BCALM for B-Cell Associated LncRNA Modulator of BCR-mediated Ca+ signaling. Our findings suggest a new, to our knowledge, paradigm for lncRNA-mediated modulation of lymphocyte activation and signaling, with implications for B cell immune response and BCR-dependent cancers.

Pancreatic damage is the major causative agent in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). Several strategies have been suggested to regenerate pancreatic functions, such as stem cell transplantation and administration of active components isolating from natural herbals. This study aims to investigate if the synergistically protective effect on damaged pancreatic tissues can be observed in STZ-induced DM rats with autologous transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) coupling with oral administration of resveratrol. Pathological conditions can be recognized in DM rats with pancreatic damage, including reduction of islet size, suppression of survival markers, downregulation of AMPK/Sirt1 axis, and activation of apoptotic signaling. Autologous transplantation of ADSC slightly improves pancreatic functions, whereas autologous transplantation of ADSC coupling with oral administration of resveratrol significantly improves pancreatic functions in DM rats. We suggest that oral administration of resveratrol may enhance the therapeutic effect on DM patients receiving autologous transplantation of ADSC.

Published: June 2020

Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp., also named pigeon pea, is widely grown in the tropics and the subtropics. C. cajan roots (CR) and ribs stewed in hot water have been used as a traditional medicine in various cultures to treat diabetes. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional components of hot water (WCR) and 50%, 95% ethanol extracts (EECR50 and EECR95) from CR, then evaluating their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The results indicated that EECR95 had higher polyphenol, especially the isoflavones (e.x. daidzein, genistein, and cajanol) than those of the other extracts, and it also exhibited the most potent anti-oxidative activities by in vitro antioxidant assay. In the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, we found that EECR95 significantly decreased intracellular reactive oxygen species and significantly enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. Mechanism studies showed that EECR95 mainly activated nuclear factor (NF) erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant protein heme oxygenase-1 and inhibited nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, and thus exhibited antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Overall, this study suggests that CR may have the potential to be developed as a biomedical material and that genistein, which has relatively high uptakes (3.44% for the pure compound and 1.73% for endogenous genistein of EECR95) at 24 h of incubation with RAW 264.7 cells, could be the main active component of CR.
Evaluating the Efficacy of 100% Trichloroacetic Acid Needling in the Treatment of Palmoplantar Warts
Authors: Bodar Priyanka , Agarwal Pooja , Saikia Siddhartha , Dalal Tejansu , Jagati Ashish
Published: June 2020

Introduction:

Warts are benign proliferations of skin and mucosa caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Palmoplantar warts are caused any HPV types 1, 2, 4, 27, 57 and occurs mostly in children and young adults. Among the treatment modalities, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) application along with needling after sufficient penetration causes coagulation of proteins of the infected cells of skin and causes necrosis.

Aim:

To study the efficacy of 100%TCA needling in the treatment of palmoplantar warts.

Study Design:

Longitudinal study carried out at a tertiary care center in Gujarat.

Materials and Methods:

Patients having palmoplantar warts between the age group of 4-50 years over a period of 8 months were included in the study as per our inclusion and exclusion criteria. 100% TCA application followed by needling using an insulin syringe was done once per week after informed consent. The necrosed skin was pared on each follow-up and the procedure was repeated till complete clearance of warts.

Results:

The total number of patients were 60 out of which 6 patients were irregular in follow up. In 4 patients, the treatment modality was changed after 6 weeks because of lack or response. 50 patients had complete clearance of warts. The minimum and maximum duration for complete clearance of warts were 3 weeks and 8 weeks respectively.

Limitation:

It gives varying results in different individuals and average duration in clearance of wart is comparatively slower as compared to some other methods.

Conclusion:

TCA needling is an effective treatment modality for palmoplantar warts.
$p$-Adic limits of renormalized logarithmic Euler characteristics

Given a countable residually finite group

\chi (\Gamma_n , M) = \prod_i |H_i (\Gamma_n , M)|^{(-1)^i}

and the limit in the field

\mathbb Q_p

of

p

-adic numbers

h_p := \lim_{n\to\infty} (\Gamma : \Gamma_n)^{-1} \log_p \chi (\Gamma_n , M) \; .

Here

\log_p : \mathbb Q^{\times}_p \to \mathbb Z_p

is the branch of the

p

-adic logarithm with

\log_p (p) = 0

. Of course, neither expression will exist in general. We isolate conditions on

M

, in particular

p

-adic expansiveness which guarantee that the Euler characteristics

\chi (\Gamma_n,M)

are well defined. That notion is a

p

-adic analogue of expansiveness of the dynamical system given by the

\Gamma

of

M

. Under further conditions on

\Gamma

we also show that the renormalized

h_p

as a version of entropy which values in the

p

R

-torsion as an analogue of the Li–Thom formula in the expansive case. We discuss the case

\Gamma = \mathbb{Z}^n

in more detail where our theory is related to Serre's intersection numbers on arithmetic schemes.
On the Dehn functions of Kähler groups
Authors: Llosa Isenrich Claudio , Tessera Romain
Published: June 2020

We address the problem of which functions can arise as Dehn functions of Kähler groups. We explain why there are examples of Kähler groups with linear, quadratic, and exponential Dehn function. We then proceed to show that there is an example of a Kähler group which has Dehn function bounded below by a cubic function and above by

n^6

. As a consequence we obtain that for a compact Kähler manifold having non-positive holomorphic bisectional curvature does not imply having quadratic Dehn function.
Degré de définition des endomorphismes d'une variété abélienne
Authors: Rémond Gaël
Published: June 2020

Given an abelian variety over a field of characteristic zero, we give an optimal explicit upper bound depending only on the dimension for the degree of the smallest extension of the base field over which all endomorphisms of the abelian variety are defined. For each dimension, the bound is achieved over the rationals by twisting a power of a CM elliptic curve. This complements a result of Guralnick and Kedlaya giving the exact value of the least common multiple of all these degrees. We also provide a similar statement for homomorphisms between two distinct abelian varieties. The proof relies on divisibility bounds obtained by Minkowski’s method but, in some cases, we need more precise facts about finite linear groups, including a theorem of Feit whose proof has not been publishedI we therefore include one based on work by Collins on Jordan’s theorem.

An Integrative Interpretation of Personal and Contextual Factors of Students’ Resistance to Active Learning and Teaching Strategies
Authors: Tino Concetta
Published: June 2020

Active Learning is a constructivist approach based on the student-centred teaching perspective, but even though it is a method useful for promoting student engagement, for supporting students in the development of their abilities, for enhancing their reflection on their ways of learning, and for developing autonomous control of their own learning process, students’ resistance seems to be a common reaction in the contexts where it is used. The purpose of this paper is to present an integrative interpretation of students’ resistance to active learning based on the ways in which students demonstrate their resistance to it, and the strategies that teachers can use to counteract this resistance. Based on this new interpretation, the practical implications are presented: the creation of an ecological didactic system; the importance for teachers to be well prepared for the reasons causing students’ resistance and the use of an ecological teaching strategy for overcoming it, a strategy which lets them make reasonable pedagogical choices and avoid giving up on the method’s implementation.

Published: June 2020

Klasik anlamda metafor, sadece söz sanatı olarak görülürken modern/çağdaş metafor daha geniş bir kavram alanını ifade eder. En geniş anlamıyla metaforlar, duygularımızı ortaya çıkaran veya gizleyen dile ait unsurlardır. Atasözlerinde sık sık kullanılan metaforun bir türü de yönelim metaforlarıdır. Yönelim metaforları, insanların birbirleriyle iletişim kurarken yön odaklı kelimeleri kullanmasıyla oluşur. Yeni Uygur atasözlerinde de bu yönteme sıkça başvurulmuştur. Yeni Uygur atasözlerinde yönelimi sağlayan kelimeler: aldi (ön)/keyin (arka), yuquri (yukarı)/ tüve (aşağı), yiraq (uzak)/yéqin (yakın), tar (dar)/keñ (geniş), néri (öte)/beri (beri), téş (dış)/iç (iç)’tir. Bu yer-yön bildiren kelimelerin yanında çiq- (çık-)/çüş- (düş-), baş/ayaq, asman(gökyüzü)/yer gibi kelimeler de yönelim bildirmektedir. Yeni Uygur atasözlerinin seçilimi noktasında Kurtuluş Öztopçu’nun “Uygur Atasözleri ve Deyimleri” ile yüksek lisans tezimde çevirdiğim Muhemmet Rehim’in “Uyġur Xelq Maqal Temsilliri” kitaplarından faydalanılmıştır. Muhammet Emin Yıldızlı’nın “Yönelim Metaforlu Deyimlerin Sınıflandırılması” makalesinde kullanılan tasnif yönteminden yararlanılmış, ancak sıralı cümle yapısındaki bazı atasözleri bu tasnifte herhangi bir başlığa girmediği için yeni bir başlık daha eklenmiştir. Uygurların yönelim metaforları içinden en çok aldi (ön)/keyin (arka), yiraq (uzak)/yéqin (yakın) metaforunu kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Yeni Uygur atasözlerinin daha önce metaforik açıdan incelenmemiş olması bu çalışmayı özgün kılan niteliklerdendir.

Unvan ve meslek adları tespit edilirken W.Wood’un 2005’te yayınladığı A Collection of Tarkhan Yarlīqs from the Khanate of Khiva, Yuri Bregel’in 1966’da neşrettiği Documents from the Khanate of Khiva, 17-19th centuries adlı çalışmalarıyla Jannatkhon Asqarova’nın Türkistan Hanlıkları Yazışmaları Dil ve Üslup İncelemesi başlıklı yüksek lisans tezinde yer alan soyurgal yarlık, yarlıg-ı Ǿâlîler ve tarhanlık yarlıklarıyla bitiklerden yararlanılmıştır. Söz konusu çalışmalardaki meslek adlarına geçmeden önce Türkistan hanlıkları diplomatikasındaki yarlık, tarhanlık yarlığı, soyurgal yarlık, hükm-i ‘alî, emr-i ‘âlî ve bitik gibi teknik terimler üzerinde durulup ardından bu belgelerdeki unvan ve meslekler uğraşı alanlarına göre bir sınıflandırmaya tabi tutulmuştur. Sınıflandırmaya tabi tutulan her unvan ve meslek adı aynı zamanda yapı ve köken bakımından da incelenerek ilgili ad hakkında topluca bir değerlendirmenin yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Yapı incelemelerinde öncelikle Türkçenin belli başlı etimolojik sözlüklerindeki veriler esas alınmıştır. Unvan ve meslek adlarıyla ilgili çok özel bir çalışma varsa ona da değinilmiştir. Morfolojik yapısı şüpheye yer bırakmayacak kadar açık olanlarda herhangi bir kaynağa atıf yapılmamıştır. Unvan ve meslek adlarının sıralanmasında ise alfabetik sıralama yolu tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda Türkistan hanlıklarında hangi meslek ve unvanların kullanıldığı, bunların hangi tür gereksinimleri karşıladıkları, meslek ve unvanların Türkistan hanlıklarındaki halk üzerindeki etkisi ve yeriyle kuruluşunda hangi dil kurallarının gözetildiği sorularına cevap aranmaya çalışılmıştır.
