A nyilvános illemhelyek hiánya és annak hatása Budapest turizmusára
Authors: Nagy Dávid , Egedy Tamás
Published: June 2024

Napjainkban a nyilvános illemhelyek kérdése a nagyvárosok, köztük Budapest turizmusának egyik rejtett, de nyilvánvalóan nagy kihívása. Nemzetközi összehasonlításban Budapest a közvécék terén nem teljesít jól, pedig a nyilvános illemhelyek megléte nemcsak a tartózkodás alatt érinti a turisták mindennapjait, hanem magát a desztináció kiválasztását és a későbbi visszatérést is befolyásolhatja. Szekunder források elemzésére és empirikus primer felmérések eredményeire támaszkodva bemutatjuk a budapesti nyilvános illemhelyek rövid történetét, helyzetét, lakossági és szakértői megítélését, valamint javaslatokat teszünk a kapacitások átgondolására és jövőbeli fejlesztésére.

Authors: Syahr Zulfia Hanum Alfi , Syaifullah Dian Hafit , Buyamin Buyamin , Sally Novian Uticha
Published: June 2024

Indonesia is a country whose geographical location is on the equator, has many islands and tropical forest areas, and is surrounded by volcanoes. Indonesia also has a high potential for natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, floods, tsunamis, forest fires, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce early on how to mitigate and adapt to disasters due to climate change. Through education, integrating mitigation and adaptation to climate change will get along with the national education curriculum in Indonesia. The problem in this study is how the concepts of climate change mitigation and adaptation learning models can integrate into the national education curriculum in Indonesia. The goal is to find an ideal model framework for implementing climate change mitigation and adaptation lessons in the national education curriculum. The method used is qualitative, with a literature study of articles indexed in Scopus. The results obtained are that the integrated model of climate change mitigation and adaptation learning can be carried out in several stages, namely: 1) mapping the types of disasters and their mitigation measures; 2) linking knowledge about climate change mitigation and adaptation with real examples; 3) inserting climate change mitigation and adaptation material into various subjects in schools.

Authors: Saputri Dina Dyah , Wahyuni Sri , Daani Alfiia Rahma
Published: June 2024

Catfish farming is often faced with the availability of feed which is relatively expensive, so it is necessary to find a solution to support the catfish farming business—provision of sufficient and good quality feed to support fish growth. This study aimed to determine the level of sludge suitable for use as additional feed. Observations were made using the experimental method with a Randomized Block Design (RBD) research design involving one control group and three treatment groups with three repetitions each. The parameters observed were length (p), width (l), and fish weight (b). The environmental parameters observed were water temperature and pH. The results showed that the best sludge presentation to be given as additional feed was in treatment 1 with an average weight between 71.33-73.75 grams, an average length ranging from 18.13 to 22.17 cm, and a width of 3.16. – 3.27 cm. Survival Rate is between 275-78%. Specific Growth Rate (SGR) 1%. Specific Weight Growth Rate (SWGR) is between 2-3%. Based on the results, this study recommends that in the use of biogas output sludge as pellets, it is necessary to improve the quality of feed by adding good nutritious ingredients for catfish.
Strategic Planning for Post-Earthquake Health Services Continuity: Leveraging Family Healthcare Centers in Istanbul
Authors: Ucal Sari Irem , Adana Mustafa Mert , Atilgan Onurhan
Published: June 2024

Earthquakes, known for their widespread devastation, annually inflict catastrophic consequences globally. Swift and well-structured healthcare responses following earthquakes are pivotal in reducing their impact and mitigating loss of life. However, achieving this demands proactive strategic planning and effective preparedness before disaster strikes. While countries craft disaster response plans, their implementation often proves inadequate in managing the ensuing crisis comprehensively. This study proposes a paradigm shift by advocating for the utilization of widely accessible Family Health Centers (FHCs) as crucial hubs for post-earthquake healthcare continuity. Focused on these community-centric health units, our research delineates a strategic blueprint ensuring uninterrupted health services post an Istanbul earthquake. Integrating SWOT analysis, balanced scorecard, and operations research, this study holistically assesses the current landscape of FHCs and identifies imperative post-earthquake requisites. Insights gleaned from extensive literature review and expert consultations underpin this multifaceted approach.

Authors: Patricio Diaz Pumará , G Iorio , D Blanco , M Müller
Published: June 2024

Superovulation treatment is a key instance in Embryo Transfer, the Ovine Industry is an important target in Assisted Reproductive Technologies. In comparison with other ruminants, such as bovines, substantial differences in pathways of response to superovulation treatment in Ovis aries has been reported. We set out to evaluate superovulation protocols in sheep, published by different researchers and technicians, measuring outcome parameters to develop a highly repeatable methodological framework. Eight different protocols were installed in thirty-one post-pubertal embryo donors. Time and replace of intra vaginal pessaries, two sources of follicle-stimulating hormone, two estrous detection methods, and use, or not, GnRH, PGF2 and LH in day of estrus, were rehearsed. Two variables were evaluated, ovarian response and embryo structures collected in-uteri, 5 to 6 days after heat detection.
Proposal of a study protocol for cryptogenic stroke in a tertiary hospital
Authors: Jiménez David Enrique Barbero , Rodríguez Judit Villamor , Merino Diego Domingo
Published: June 2024

It has been estimated that approximately 20% of ischemic strokes have a cardioembolic origin and that the cause is not detected or that there may be more than one in 9-25% of them. An adequate diagnostic process of ESUS (embolic strokes of undetermined source) would allow optimization of antithrombotic treatment. Our objective with the publication of this protocol is to propose the essential diagnostic tests to make the diagnosis of ESUS and the optimization of patients who can benefit from prolonged cardiac monitoring.

Authors: Dsitsiuk V. , Boiko O. V. , Honchar O. F. , Havrysh O. M. , Guzevatiy O.
Published: June 2024

Aim. The aim was to study the differences in three traits of nucleoli in interphase leukocytes of two rab-
bit breeds and a hybrid thereof. Methods. Doe rabbits, 4-month -old, from Ukrainian breed Poltavske Sriblo
(n = 30), Californian (n = 25), and their hybrid (n = 21) were used in the experiment. The nucleoli in intact
blood leukocytes were stained using silver staining according to Howell and Black (1980). Stained cells were
observed, and their nucleoli counted in light microscopy at 10×100 oil immersion magnification. 200 leukocytes
from each animal were analyzed. The activity of nucleoli was evaluated by the following parameters: the aver-
age number of nucleoli in the nucleus (nNO), the total area of nucleoli in the nucleus (ΣSNO, mcm 2), the share
of nucleolus area in the lymphocyte nucleus area (shΣS NO, %). Statistical analysis was conducted using the
STATISTICA software package (2020). Results. The average number of nucleoli per cell varied from – 1.70 ±
0.08 in Californian rabbits to 5.90 ± 0.29 in hybrid animals. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was
found between the experimental groups of purebred and hybrid rabbits. The variation coefficient for the index
of the average number of nucleoli per cell was on the average level of variability: 20.58 % for the rabbits of
Poltavske sriblo breed, 19.50 % for Californian rabbits, and 16.49 % for hybrid ones. The total area of nucleoli
in the cells of all the investigated animals varied from 5 μm2 in one Californian rabbit to 12 μm2 in animals of
hybrid origin. The share of the nucleolus area in the nucleus area for rabbits of Poltavske sriblo, Californian, and
hybrid breeds was 26.10 ± 1.80 %, 24.30 ± 1.62 and 29.40 ± 2.50, respectively. Conclusions. Polymorphism
was observed for three nucleolar parameters after silver staining of interphase leukocytes of rabbits of Poltavske
sriblo, Californian breed and their hybrid. This concerned 1) the average number of nucleoli (p < 0.05); 2) the
total area of nucleoli (p < 0.05); 3) the average share of the nucleolar area in the nucleus area (p < 0.05). The
results of our comparative analysis of the investigated nucleolar activity parameters suggest a higher activity
of nucleoli in the animals of hybrid origin. In the future, the results of such studies may be used to assess the
potential ability of animals to implement productive traits.
El comercio interindustrial e intraindustrial de un producto agrícola: una evaluación de la papa en Colombia, 1992- 2019
Authors: Gil León José Mauricio , Gutiérrez Ayala Jhancarlos
Published: June 2024

En este artículo se realiza la clasificación de las relaciones comerciales inter e intraindustriales de la papa de Colombia respecto de 56 socios para el periodo 1992-2019. Esto se analiza mediante el índice de Grubel y Lloyd y tres modelos gravitacionales, que evalúan la incidencia del PIB, población, distancia, firma de acuerdos comerciales e idioma sobre las dinámicas comerciales. Los resultados evidencian que las dinámicas comerciales de la papa son de carácter intraindustrial; aunque al diferenciar entre la comercialización de papa fresca y papa transformada, se reporta una dependencia de Colombia en la exportación de la primera y la importación de la segunda. Se encuentra un efecto negativo de la firma de TLC sobre las exportaciones y positivo sobre las importaciones, lo que lleva a validar la condición interindustrial asociada a la importación de papa transformada y el efecto negativo del comercio internacional en el sector.
Implementing a Holistic Approach to Education: Lessons Learnt From Latvian “Heart” Teachers’ Narratives
Authors: Surikova Svetlana , Sidorova Anna
Published: June 2024

Aim. Recent studies have stressed that education transformation can be efficiently achieved by introducing a holistic approach, embedding a culture of teaching and learning for wholeness that espouses the holism of human beings and the world. A qualitative multiple study was performed to analyse Latvian “heart” teachers’ narratives about themselves and their significant life experiences to identify their dominant approaches to life and work at school to answer the following research questions: What do the narratives of the seven Latvian “heart” teachers reveal about themselves and their approaches to life and work at school and the contributions of the participants’ significant life experiences to their approaches? Are Latvian “heart” teachers’ approaches holistic or not?
Methods. The research data encompasses seven cases based on semi-structured interviews with Latvian teachers nominated by their colleagues, students and/or parents to participate in the campaign HeartTeacher in the academic year 2021/2022. Qualitative data were processed and analysed using the QSR NVivo 12 software.
Results. Implementing a holistic approach to education is evident in the Latvian “heart” teachers’ professional practices. In all seven cases, evidence was found about providing a welcoming environment to all, reflecting on the interdependence of things and focusing on multiple connections as well as being an equal learning partner of others. However, a holistic approach to personal life is not sufficiently evident among the experienced “heart” teachers. By contrast, the novice “heart” teachers’ approaches to personal life are perceived as more holistic.
Conclusion. A whole (holistic) teacher implements the holistic approach both in their professional and personal lives, not only caring for others but also for themselves, thereby achieving balance. A whole (holistic) teacher’s life philosophy is based on the principles of wholeness, inclusion, connectedness, and balance among the different aspects of life.
Divine Command Theory – Potentiality and Limits
Authors: Máhrik Tibor , Kralik Roman
Published: June 2024

Thesis. Divine Command Theory (hereafter DCT) is a metaethical theory belonging to the category of moral realism of the non-cognitive type, whose popularity is growing. In this thesis, we show some of the reasons that have triggered the need to address the normativity of ethical concepts, because of which DCT receives its justification.
Concept. Our argument begins with an analysis of a critical moment in contemporary ethical discourse, the question of normativity, relating Hume's law to the contemporary problem of solipsism, philosophical pluralism, and epistemic reductionism in moral philosophy. We show the strengths of the moral reasoning offered by Divine Command Theory and point out its weaknesses, which have to do with the fact that God is not a perfect system of moral axioms, but a being who acts morally and perfectly.
Results and conclusion. Divine Command Theory is an important metaethical approach that offers a solid space for the establishment of different ethical frameworks with normativity weights, but on the other hand harbours question marks that should not be overlooked. These are questions of justice and love in terms of God's model of reasoning, since both aspects are paradoxical from a theological point of view and, moreover, run the risk of a self-referential fallacy on the part of the interpreter of God's commandments. The problematic aspects of this theory that we point out do not in any way undermine its validity, but rather anticipate an even deeper level of reflection on ethical realism.

Authors: Tursynbayev Olzhas , Ybyraimzhanov Kalibek , Bekish Azamat , Nurman Sholpan , Aubakirova Assem
Published: June 2024

Aim. The purpose of the study was to study approaches to the resumption of an effective educational process in the Kazakh SSR after the end of the World War II. The study of the approaches to restoration and improvement of the educational system in post-war Kazakhstan is relevant in today’s conditions, when the educational environment of Kazakhstan faces a number of challenges that require its reform.
Methods. Various research methods were used in the scientific work, in particular, analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, generalisation.
Results and conclusion. As a result, the state of the educational environment in Kazakhstan was studied immediately after the end of the war. The approaches of state bodies to the regulation of educational public relations are considered, taking into account the conditions of that time. There was a significant increase in the number of schools and other educational institutions, which contributed to the development of educational infrastructure. It is proved that the priority specialties for the state were those that contributed to the implementation of construction and economic activities. Based on this, it was possible to reveal the main advantages in reforming education, which contributed to improving the quality of knowledge in schools, universities and technical schools.
Cognitive value. The value of the results obtained is both scientific and practical. Accordingly, the first provides a deepening of knowledge regarding the historical process of the formation of the educational environment in Kazakhstan, and the second allows us to determine the most effective ways to revive education in society.
Shabby Communities. Structural Violence and Less than Obvious Mechanisms that Spoil Science
Authors: Kobylarek Aleksander
Published: June 2024

Different social groups functioning as authorities for the masses do not fulfil their roles; they represent wrong, often illegal roles and through manipulation, endeavour to attract others to their side. The ones who reveal these activities are seen as independent media and journalists, however, when confronted by the authorities, are revealed not to always have the desired effect of punishing the guilty. A particular case is a scientific environment that does not implement its worthy cause and even renounces it because of pressure from the authorities and/or work environment or simply to pursue its own ambitions, contrary to the very idea of science it claims to represent. Thus, the independence of a researcher and the objectivity of research results are at stake. Some researchers prove their incompetence in areas that should form the basis of their work, such as the English language, the lack of which makes it impossible to promote results internationally and to further the latest developments outside one’s own language area. The elite structures are also often closed, thereby preventing the development of other researchers who could become competitors or alternative opinion holders. The criteria for the evaluation of achievements by being inconsistent becomes hard to question; the key to entering this closed structure thereby seems to be the submissiveness of a researcher, as institutional violence, because of subjective and trivial reasons, puts the skids under development opportunities. The blocking of development and other pathologies in the scientific community are also common in the local communities that still function in spite of their incompetence.
Objective Feedback: The Views of Pedagogical Study Programme Students
Authors: Stramkale Ligita
Published: June 2024

Aim. The study aims to determine the views of the pedagogical study programme students about providing objective feedback in the educational process to identify its main characteristics.
Methods. The study uses a mixed research design through the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data within the framework of one study. The study included 82 (n=82) participants studying in part-time bachelor’s and master’s study programmes. The study addresses three research questions: RQ1: At what level do students assess the statements describing the provision of objective feedback? RQ2: What is the difference in students’ views about objective feedback based on the study programme level and their employment? RQ3: What are the main characteristics of objective feedback? SPSS version 22 was used for quantitative data analysis, but the qualitative data were processed using content analysis. 
Results. Most respondents agree that objective feedback is significant and motivates students to learn. The study identifies nine main characteristics of objective feedback that were divided into three groups: teacher personality traits, teaching and learning outcomes, and teacher professionalism. The study found that those students who, in parallel with their studies, work part-time in one of the general education institutions rate the competence of teachers in providing objective feedback statistically significantly higher than those students who work in a profession outside the education system or do not work at all. 
Conclusion. The findings provide a better understanding of the main characteristics of objective feedback, thereby reducing the subjectivity in assessment.
Driving Performance Through Innovation: The Roles of Communication and Competence in Public Sector Employees
Authors: Saragih Jopinus
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the influence of communication and employee competence on innovation and its implications for employee performance within the Badan Pendapatan Daerah (Regional Revenue Agency) Kabupaten Karawang. Understanding these relationships is critical for enhancing organisational efficiency and effectiveness. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method to collect data from 100 employees at Badan Pendapatan Daerah Kabupaten Karawang. The analysis included descriptive statistics and path analysis to explore the relationships between communication, competence, innovation, and employee performance. Validity and reliability tests were conducted to ensure the instruments' accuracy. The results revealed significant positive correlations between communication and competence (r = 0.693, p < 0.01). Path analysis indicated that communication (β = 0.548) and competence (β = 0.381) significantly influence innovation, which in turn has a substantial impact on employee performance (R² = 78.8%). These findings highlight that effective communication and high employee competence are crucial drivers of innovation. Moreover, innovation plays a dominant role in enhancing employee performance, suggesting that fostering an innovative work environment is essential for organisational success. The study concludes that improving communication and competence among employees significantly boosts innovation and subsequently enhances employee performance. The findings underscore the need for targeted training programmes and a supportive work environment to facilitate effective communication and continuous skill development. Future research should consider additional factors such as organisational culture and employee motivation to provide a more comprehensive understanding of performance determinants.

Validation of the Norwegian International Reading Speed Texts (IReST) in adult readers with normal vision
Authors: Nachtnebel Dan A. , Falkenberg Helle K.
Published: June 2024

There is a lack of standardised reading tests in Norwegian suitable for adults and persons with visual impairment (VI). The International Reading Speed Texts (IReST) measure reading performance of longer paragraphs. The aim of this project was to translate and validate the IReST in Norwegian. Each of the German, English and Swedish IReST were translated into Norwegian. The translations were matched for length, linguistic difficulty, and structure, and piloted in five adults. Reading speed was assessed in 25 readers (41 years, SD = 10) with normal vision and the readings were recorded. Reading speeds were analysed for variability between texts and participants. There were no statistically significant differences between the ten texts (135 words, 765 characters [SD=18], word variation index 91.8% [SD = 0.9%]). Reading speed in adult readers was 204 (SD=31) words/min. There was no difference across texts for any of the participants (p>0.05). Reading speed variance was 77.4% between subjects and 22.6% between texts. The Norwegian IReST is standardised and comparable to the international IReST tests. Reading speed falls within normative values in adult readers. The Norwegian IReST will be a valuable tool in assessing reading in clinical health care, rehabilitation and educational practice of adult and visually impaired readers and in reading research.
On the mechanical behaviour of a coral silt from the South China Sea
Authors: Yao Ting , Cao Ziwei , Li Wei
Published: June 2024

During land reclamation on the reef islands, large amounts of silt-sized coral soils were created by segregation and degradation. The accumulation of silt-sized coral soils is fairy uncommon while the research on the geotechnical properties of the coral silt is very limited. In this study, a systematic experimental investigation on the mechanical behaviour of a coral silt obtained from a reclaimed reef island in the South China Sea has been performed, with comparisons to the coral sand collected from the same area. Similar to the coral sand, the coral silt particles also exhibit irregular particle shape and intra-particle pore due to their nature origin. According to the limiting water contents, the coral silt is classified as a low-plasticity clayey silt. Under one-dimensional compression, the coral silt exhibits a much quicker convergence compared to coral sand. Prior to convergence, the compressibility of coral silt is higher. After yielding, the compressibility of coral sand becomes higher due to significant particle breakage. The loose coral silt subjected to undrained shearing at low confining pressures exhibits obvious strain softening behaviour, indicating static liquefaction or flow failure. The peak and critical state friction angles of coral silt are lower than those of coral sand but much higher than those of the other terrigenous clayey silts. A curved critical state line with well-defined horizontal asymptote in the deviatoric stress – mean effective stress plane is identified for coral silt, again indicating higher potential to static liquefaction.

HOMING AND EGG DISCRIMINATION IN THE WESTERN SLIMY SALAMANDER, PLETHODON ALBAGULA (CAUDATA: PLETHODONTIDAE)
Authors: McCallum Malcolm , Jordan Robyn R. , Milanovich Joseph R. , Trauth Stanley E.
Published: June 2024

Abstract.— In some species of vertebrates egg brooding is a costly form of parental care.  Therefore, misdirection of parental care can significantly lower a female’s fitness.  Because of the maternal investment and increased survivorship to offspring from egg guarding, a brooding female should home to her nest site after being displaced a short distance and discriminate between her own eggs and eggs from other females.  In this study, we experimentally tested, in the field, alternative hypotheses concerning homing ability and egg discrimination in a population of nesting western slimy salamanders (Plethodon albagula).  Fourteen brooding females were displaced 1 m to the left or right of their nest sites (determined randomly) for the homing experiment.  Furthermore, brooding females (n = 13) were presented with their own clutches, which were displaced 50 cm to the left or right (determined randomly), and unfamiliar egg clutches at their original nest sites.  The females were released at an equal distance from both egg clutches.  After 24 hours, 12 displaced females (86%) had returned to their own nest sites and were brooding their egg clutches.  Also, after 24 hours, nine test females had returned to their own nest sites and were brooding the unfamiliar egg clutches.  No control or test females were present at the other new nest site locations (c2 = 11, df = 1, P-value < 0.001).  Therefore, we suggest that brooding female P. albagula do home to their nest sites and exhibit indirect egg discrimination.
CORRELATES OF MOVEMENTS ACROSS ROADS IN AN EVERGLADES SNAKE ASSEMBLAGE
Authors: Meshaka, Jr. Walter , Mazzotti Frank J. , Rochford Michael R.
Published: June 2024

Data associated with a 46-month road survey in Everglades National Park (Everglades National Park), U.S.A., were used to examine selected life history traits of 19 snake species in a hydrologically fluctuating system subject to droughts and floods. A distance of 314.8 km was driven beginning at dusk for each of 204 visits during March 2008–December 2011. Habitats encompassed uplands of Long Pine Key, freshwater glades of Pahayokee, and interface with saline glades at Mahogany Hammock. The Florida Cottonmouth, Agkistrodon conanti, Florida Watersnake, Nerodia fasciata pictiventris, Peninsula Ribbonsnake, Thamnophis sauritis sackenii, and Eastern Gartersnake, T. sirtalis sirtalis, accounted for 68.6% of 1,312 individuals during three calendar years of surveys of 2009–2011. Our study included one native and one exotic species undetected in an earlier road survey conducted in on Long Pine Key in the mid-1980s. Species overlap among the three distinct habitats of our study was extensive, but dominant species and relative abundances varied among them. Comparison of relative abundance on Long Pine Key with an earlier study indicated a recent shift towards more aquatic species but fewer species and total individuals. Adult body sizes and reproductive traits of selected species of this study did not differ from those of other samples from Everglades National Park. However, among species for which comparisons were possible, seasonal activity patterns were not unanimously similar. Incidence of roadkill was highest during months of least snake movements on the roads. Snakes moved in association with air temperatures and rainfall, but not water table level. However, overall numbers of snakes dropped significantly during 2011 when the water table was at its lowest. Aquatic and semi-aquatic species short-hydroperiod freshwater wetlands were negatively affected. Abundance of the Red Cornsnake, Pantherophis guttatus, a semi-arboreal species, responded negatively to low water. Abundances of deep-water aquatic snakes were unaffected by the low water table of 2011. Among the species negatively affected in abundance by low water, recruitment increased in three species and decreased in three species. Recruitment increased in deep-water snakes. If current climate change trajectories hold, the Everglades will experience a series of anthropogenic successional seres of predictable ever-diminishing habitat for most and ultimately all of the snake species presently inhabiting the southern Everglades.
Hicri II-IV. Asır Kıraat İhticâcı Uygulamalarının Sonraki Dönem Kıraat İhticâcı Uygulamalarına Etkileri: Neşru’l-Ḳırââti’l-‘Aşr Özelinde Bir İnceleme
Authors: Kılıç Mehmet , Pilgir Muhammed
Published: June 2024

Kurrâ’ya nispet edilen aynı kelimelerdeki edâ farklılıklarının tartışmalara sebep olmasından ötürü kıraat ihtilafı olan kelimelerde ihticâc yapılmasına gereksinim duyulmuştur. Delil getirmek manasında kullanılan ihticâc kavramı, kıraat ihtilafları için söz konusu olduğunda ise kıraat ihtilaflarının sıhhat zemininin ortaya konması kastedilmektedir. Ayrıca 2. asrın sonlarında kıraat tevcîhlerinin yapıldığı müstakil eserler ortaya çıkmakla birlikte kıraat alan yazınına ait genel telifatlarda da kıraat ihticâclarının yapıldığı görülmektedir. Kıraat müelliflerinden biri olan İbnu’l-Cezerî de Neşru’l-ḳırââti’l-‘aşr adlı eserinde zaman zaman kıraat ihticâcına yer vermektedir. Mezkûr eserdeki kıraat ihticâcları hakkında tespit edilebildiği kadarıyla yapılmış tek bir çalışma bulunmaktadır. Fakat bu çalışmada, kıraatten ve bunun dışındaki disiplinlerden yeterince istifade edilmediği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca selef ulemasının Neşru’l-ḳırââti’l-‘aşr adlı esere ihticâc konusunda etkisi özelinde bir çalışmaya da rastlanmamıştır. Buradan hareketle elinizdeki bu çalışmada, İbnu’l-Ce-zerî’nin kıraat ihticâcına dair uygulamaları Neşru’l-ḳırââti’l-‘aşr adlı eser özelinde incelenmiş, me‘âni’l-Kur’ân ve me‘âni’l-kıraat literatürlerinin ortaya çıktıkları dönem dikkate alınarak h. 2.-4. asırlarda kaleme alınan bu literatürlere ait eserlerin İbnu’l-Cezerî’ye ait kıraat tevcîhlerine etkisinin olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın neticesinde İbnu’l-Cezerî’nin yaptığı kıraat tevcîhlerinden ele alınanların bir kısmına, söz konusu üç asırda kaleme alınan me‘âni’l-Kur’ân ve me‘âni’l-kıraat telifatında ekseriyetle yer verilmediği saptanmıştır. İbnu’l-Cezerî’nin ise kıraat ihtilafının olmadığı yerlerde dahi ilgili edâ için ihticâc yaptığı müşahede edilmiştir. Buna ilaveten İbnu’l-Cezerî’nin Neşr’de yaptığı ihticâc uygulamalarının me‘âni’l-Kur’ân ve me‘âni’l-kıraat telifatında yapılan ihticâc işlemleriyle benzeştiği görülmüştür. Yine Neşr’in tevcîh eseri olmaması hasebiyle de İbnu’l-Cezerî tarafından yapılan ihticâcların ihtiyaç merkezli olarak kendini gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin tevbe kavramına ilişkin sahip oldukları algıları metaforlar aracılığıyla ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgubilim (fenomenoloji) modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılı güz döneminde Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi ve Bursa Teknik Üniversitesi’nin çeşitli fakültelerinde öğrenim gören toplam 196 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veriler Google Form aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak çalışmada kişisel bilgi formu ve “Tevbe....(metafor)…benzer, çünkü....(metafor sebebi)” cümlelerinin kullanıldığı yarı yapılandırılmış bir anket formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi ve yorumlanmasında içerik analizi tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda 196 üniversite öğrencisi tarafından 70 farklı metafor üretildiği bulgulanmıştır. Araştırmada tevbe kavramına ilişkin üretilen metaforlarla ilgili tevbenin dinî işlevi ve tevbenin psikolojik işlevi olmak üzere 2 tema oluşturulmuştur. Tevbenin dinî işlevi temasına (%60,2) ait 3 kod oluşturulmuştur: Manevî arınma yolu, kutsalla buluşma ve iyi davranışlarda kararlılık. Tevbenin psikolojik işlevi temasına (%39,8) ait olarak da 3 kod oluşturulmuştur. Bu kodlar; psikolojik rahatlama, yeni bir başlangıç ve kendisiyle yüzleşmedir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre metaforların manevî arınma yolu, kendisiyle yüzleşme ve yeni bir başlangıç kodlarında yoğunlaştığı tespit edilmiştir.
Hüseyin Zamur. Şîa Tefsirinde İsrâiliyat
Authors: Çelik Ersin
Published: June 2024

Şiî tefsir geleneğinde isrâiliyyât meselesini ele alan yazar Hüseyin Zamur, ilk yedi asır özelinde bir değerlendirme yapmıştır. İlk bölümde isrâiliyyâtın İslâmî kaynaklara geçmesinin sebeplerine dair genel bir tablo çizdikten sonra meselenin Şîa açısından nasıl görüldüğünü resmetmeye çalışmıştır. Yazar, ikinci bölümde peygamberler ve kavimleriyle ilgili ilk yedi asırda telif edilmiş Şiî tefsirlere yansıyan isrâilî rivayetleri değerlendirirken üçüncü ve son bölümde ise başta yaratılış olmak üzere muhtelif meselelere dair nakledilen isrâilî rivayetlere değinmiştir. Burada söz konusu eser, önce genel olarak değerlendirildikten sonra özellikle Şiî tefsir geleneğinde isrâiliyat eleştirisinin başlangıcına dair bir sorgulama yapmaması, Şiî/Ahbârî ekol ile Mu‘tezile’den etkilenen Usûlî ekolün arasını tam olarak ayırt etmemesi ve dolayısıyla Şîa’da isrâiliyyât eleştirisinin arka planındaki Mu‘tezilî etkiyi gözden kaçırması son olarak da Şiî tefsirleri isrâiliyyât açısından Ehl-i sünnet’le mukayese ederken genellikle aynı dönemdeki Sünnî eserlerle değil de daha geç dönemli tefsirlerle karşılaştırması gibi usûl ve esasa dair bazı noktalardan eleştirilmektedir.
Ayna Nöronlar ve Sosyal Öğrenme Kuramları Açısından İmanda Taklidin Mahiyeti
Authors: Can Seyithan
Published: June 2024

Müslümanların tarihsel süreçte iman konusunda yaşadığı tartışmalardan biri de imanda taklid meselesidir. Çalışmanın temel odak noktası, klasik kelâm literatüründeki taklidî imanla ilgili görüşleri, günümüz bilimsel verileri ve öğrenme kuramları ışığında kritize etmektir. Çalışmanın temel motivasyonlarından biri, inananların büyük bir kısmının iman anlayışının taklide dayalı olmasıdır. Bu bağlamda kelâm âlimlerinin tahkiki iman için temele aldıkları nazar ve istidlâlin Tanrı'nın varlığına dair kesin bir kanıt sağlayamadığını iddia ettik. Dolayısıyla kelâm ekollerinin tahkiki iman konusunda benimsedikleri nazar ve istidlâle dayalı temellendirmenin yeterli olmadığı kanaatine vardık. Bu çerçevede kelâm ekollerinin imanı bilişsel sürece indirgeyen yaklaşımlarının, modern bilimdeki ayna nöronlar ve öğrenme kuramları açısından değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini öne sürdük. İnsan fizyolojisi üzerinde temellendirilen ayna nöronlar teorisiyle taklidin basit bir eylemsel benzerlik olmadığı, aynı zamanda bilişsel bir süreci de beraberinde getirdiği çıkarımını yaptık. Bununla beraber taklidin sosyal öğrenme kuramları ile ilişkisini ele alarak bunun tahkikî iman sürecindeki işlevi üzerinde durduk. Öğrenmenin sadece gözlemlenen davranışları taklid etmekle sınırlı olmadığını, bilişsel süreçlerin de önemli bir rol oynadığına vurgu yaptık.
Fâtımî Devlet Adamı Üstâz Cevzer es-Sıkıllî (ö. 362/973)
Authors: Erbaş Furkan
Published: June 2024

Mağrib ve Mısır dönemi olarak ikiye ayrılan Fâtımî devleti tarihinin Mağrib devresi Mısır’a nazaran daha az incelenmiş görünmektedir. Bunun en önemli sebeplerinden bir tanesi bu dönemdeki muasır kaynakların Mısır dönemi kaynaklarına oranla fazla olmayışıdır. Bununla birlikte günümüzde Fâtımîler’in Mağrib dönemini kapsayan IV. (X.) yy.’a ait bazı muasır kaynakların bulunmuş olması, söz konusu döneme ait önemli bilgilerden haberdar olabilmemize imkân tanımıştır. Bu eserlerden olan ve Fâtımî devletinin Mağrib dönemindeki bürokrasisine ışık tutan Sîretü’l-Üstâz Cevzer adlı muasır kaynak, Fâtımîler’de halife ve veliahttan sonraki üç numaralı devlet adamı olma şerefine nail olan slav asıllı Üstâz Cevzer’in ilk Halife Ubeydullâh el-Mehdî döneminde devlet hizmetine alınmasından, dördüncü Halife Mu‘izz’in hilâfet merkezini Mansûriye’den Kâhire’ye taşımasına değin gerçekleştirdiği önemli faaliyetlerini konu edinmektedir. Ele aldığımız çalışmada Fâtımîler’in Mağrib dönemindeki önde gelen devlet adamlarından bir tanesi olan Üstâz Cevzer’in hayatı detaylı bir şekilde incelenerek bu dönemin bürokrasisinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkı sunulması hedeflenmektedir. Başta Sîretü’l-Üstâz Cevzer adlı çağdaş kaynak olmak üzere Üstâz Cevzer hakkında bilgi veren az sayıda eserin incelenmesinin yanında batıda da yapılan araştırmalara değinilerek hazırlanan çalışma, literatüre sunacağı katkı itibarıyla özgündür. Ayrıca çalışma bazı araştırmacılarca Üstâz Cevzer’in, Mısır’ı ele geçiren komutan Cevher es-Sıkıllî ile aynı kişi olduğu yönündeki yanlış kanaatlerin ortadan kalkmasına yardımcı olacaktır. Yine bazı araştırmacılar tarafından Fâtımîler’in Mağrib dönemi veziri olarak kabul edilen Üstâz Cevzer’in gerçekten vezirlik görevini deruhte edip etmediği gibi sorulara çalışmada cevap aranacaktır.
Dil Felsefesi Açısından “Allah”ı Adlandırmak
Authors: Sandıkçı Sümeyra Hatice
Published: June 2024

Kant’ın teorik akla getirdiği sınırlamayla metafiziği bilginin konusu olmaktan çıkarma iddiası modern dönemde gerçekleştirilen fikri faaliyetleri derinden etkilemiştir. Kant düşüncesinin daha ileri boyutlara taşınması mantıkçı pozitivizm gibi ekollerde metafiziğe dair önermelerin ve bu önermelerin temel kavramı olan “tanrı” teriminin anlamsız kabul edilmesi sonucunu doğurmuştur. Mantıkçı pozitivistlerin bu iddialarına karşın din felsefesi alanında “tanrı” teriminin gönderimi bir problem olarak tartışılmakta ve modern gönderim kuramlarıyla tanrıya gönderimde bulunabilmenin yani onu adlandırabilmenin imkânı soruşturulmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, tanrıya gönderim meselesinin tartışıldığı çalışmalardaki iki temel eksikliği gidermektir. Konuyla ilgili çalışmalarda, ya tümel bir kavram olan tanrı kavramı veya Hristiyanlığın ve Yahudiliğin tanrısına gönderim imkânı soruşturulmuştur. Ancak özel bir ad olan “Allah” lafzı inceleme kapsamına dahil edilmemiş ve İslam düşüncesinin konuya yaklaşımı göz ardı edilmiştir. Bu makalede, zikredilen eksikliği giderme amacıyla Fahreddin er-Râzî ve Nâsırüddîn el-Beyzâvî’nin “Allah” adına dair açıklamaları ele alınacaktır. Tanrıya gönderim/tanrıyı adlandırma tartışmalarında karşımıza çıkan ikinci eksiklik ise modern gönderim kuramlarının metafiziksel arka planlarının dikkate alınmıyor olmasıdır. Çalışmamızda tanrıyı adlandırma noktasında imkân olarak görülen betimsel gönderim kuramı ve nedensel gönderim kuramının Kant düşüncesi ile irtibatına dikkat çekilecek ve onların klasik delaletiyle Allah’ı adlandırmada yeterli olamayacağı iddia edilecektir.
Insight Into the Interaction of Quinizarin with SDS Micelles – Effects of Additives

Published: June 2024

Association behavior between quinizarin (1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone, Q), an analogue of the chromophore of anthracycline anticancer drugs and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles in the presence of glucose, NaCl and urea additives was studied using absorption spectroscopy and conductometric techniques. The spectral results indicate an increase of binding constant and partition coefficient values in the presence of glucose and NaCl whereas the addition of urea leads to a decrease of binding strength and quinizarin partitioning into SDS micelles. Thus, the rise of NaCl and glucose concentrations is favorable for the quinizarin distribution into SDS micelles. From electrical conductivity measurements it was found that the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS/quinizarin system decreases by adding NaCl and glucose whereas urea has not influence on the micelization process at the concentrations used in the present study. Since biologically compounds like glucose, NaCl and urea are found in the human body, the attained outcomes can be important in finding of effective drug delivery systems.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by elevated blood sugar levels, leading to organ dysfunction. Curcumin, derived from turmeric, exhibits promise in managing type II diabetes. Amphipathic polymer prodrugs were synthesized by conjugating curcumin with chitosan through succinic anhydride. Nanomicelles, formed via dialysis of amphipathic polymer prodrug, were spherical with an average hydrodynamic size of 57 nm. In vitro release studies revealed 97% curcumin release at pH 5 in 7 days. A 21-day experiment on diabetic mice compared nano micelles, standard drugs, and free curcumin’s impact on fasting blood glucose. The study showcased gradual, controlled curcumin release from nano micelles, suggesting their potential in type II diabetes treatment.
