Talebesinin Gölgesinde Kalmış Önemli Bir Sûfî Şahsiyet: Ammâr Yâsir Bitlisî ve Bazı Tasavvufî Görüşleri
Authors: İdiz Ferzende
Published: December 2024

Ammâr Yâsir Bitlisî (ö. ?/?), Sühreverdiyye, Kübreviyye ve Mevleviyye gibi büyük tarîkat silsilelerinde ismi yer alan önemli sûfî şahsiyetlerden birisidir. Kübreviyye tarîkatının kurucusu olan Necmeddîn-i Kübrâ (ö. 618/1221) gibi önemli bir sûfînin şeyhi olan Ammâr Yâsir hakkında kaynaklarda yeterli bilgi yer almamış ve adeta halifesinin gölgesinde kalmıştır. Zira Ammâr Yâsir, talebesi Necmeddîn-i Kübrâ’nın anlatıldığı eserlerde ancak ismen veya çok az bir bilgi ile zikredilmiştir. Ayrıca hayatını anlatan müstakil bir eser de bulunmamaktadır. Kaynaklarda Bitlis’te doğduğu ve orada vefat ettiği bildirilen müellifin, maalesef hayatı, eserleri, yetişmesi ve ailesi gibi önemli konularda herhangi bir bilgiye yer verilmemiştir. Hatta böyle önemli bir şahsiyet hakkında bu güne kadar herhangi bir tez veya makale dahi yazılmamıştır. Bu durum, Ammâr Yâsir hakkında var olan sınırlı bilgileri, akademik bir tarzla ele alıp istifadeye sunmayı gerekli kılmıştır. Bu amaçla ele alınan makalede, kaynak taraması ve metin incelemesi metoduyla var olan bilgiler derlenmiştir. Böylece Ammâr Yâsir Bitlisî’nin kaynaklarda yer aldığı kadarıyla hayatı, tarîkatı, eserleri ve tasavvufî görüşleri hakkında ilk defa akademik bir çalışma yapılmış ve böylece alana katkı sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Kısaca bu makalede Ammâr Yâsir Bitlisî’nin hayatı, eserleri ve tasavvufî anlayışı hakkında bilgi verilmeye çalışılmış ve böylece önemli bir sûfînin alan araştırmacıları tarafından tanınması sağlanarak istifadeye sunulması amaçlanmıştır.

Authors: Polivanova Tamara V. , Vshivkov Vitaliy A.
Published: December 2024

Aim. To study the quality of life and mental health in adolescents with irritable bowel syndrome.
Material and methods. 12–19 years adolescents were examined. They were divided into two groups: 12 patients with and 170 cases without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Grading was carried out in accordance with the Rome IV criteria for functional gastrointestinal disorders. The quality of life of the subjects was studied using the PedsQL questionnaire, and mental health — with the questionnaire «strengths and difficulties» (SDQ). The reliability of differences in quantitative features was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney criterion, qualitative features — with the χ2 criterion. Values ​​p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results. In accordance with the Rome IV criteria IBS was diagnosed in 6.6%. In IBS adolescents, the quality of life according to the emotional functioning scale was significantly reduced (p = 0.017). According to the R. Goodman questionnaire, individuals with functional bowel disorders also more often had problems communicating with peers (p = 0.010) and emotional symptoms (p = 0.003) compared to children without IBS, which characterize mental health disorders. At the same time, deviant mental health disorders were noted in every fourth IBS child, and every third of them had borderline mental disorders, which is higher in total than in individuals without IBS (p = 0.005). To a greater extent, mental health deviations affected the emotional sphere.
Conclusion. In IBS adolescents, mental health disorders with a predominance of emotional disorders in its structure were more often recorded, and a decrease in the quality of life according to the emotional scale was noted.

MULTI-LAYERED DIALOGUE IN LANA BASTAŠIĆ'S THE RED SUITCASE AS A PRACTICE FOR SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION
Authors:   Fakultet za medije i komunikacije, Beogead, Srbija, Panić Aleksandra
Published: December 2024

This paper analyzes the multi-layered dialogue in Lana Bastašić's The Red Suitcase (Crveni kofer) as a practice for social transformation. The Red Suitcase is a hybrid narrative composed of autobiographical, epistolary-diary entries and black-and- white photographs, documenting the author’s residency in Switzerland from March 10 to July 13, 2021. The hybrid nature of the book is reflected not only in the merging of text and photography but also in the blending of different genre elements. This analysis explores the characteristics and functions of dialogue within the text, focusing on the themes of the relationship between writing and power, the fluid identity of the wandering, nomadic subject, the dichotomy of exile and home, and the question(s) of language.The theoretical framework of the paper draws on Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of polyphony and Kenneth Gergen’s theory of relational being, while Rosi Braidotti’s concept of the nomadic feminist subject is employed to analyze the specific fragmented but fluid and cohesive style of writing. The analysis identifies different layers of dialogue in various narrative frameworks: epistolary, diary, visual, intertextual, and autobiographical, as well as the socio-political dimensions of the text. The socio-political frame of the dialogue raises awareness about common societal and political issues, scrutinizing social norms and power structures. The narrator’s dialogue with the reader(s), sensibly woven into the background of the text invites engagement with philosophical reflections, fostering a deeper understanding of the work’s key issues such as understanding the experience of home and exile, questions of (non-)native language and translation, and understanding the author’s identity as a nomadic subject. The paper concludes that the strategic use of dialogic polyphony and the nomadic feminist subject in The Red Suitcase not only reflects the complexity of contemporary female identity but also opens possibilities for expanding the practice of transformative dialogue. This,
in turn, contributes to imagining and creating different, more inclusive social realities.

Authors: Škácha Pavel , Kristek Jakub , Sejkora Jiří , Zemánek Radek
Published: December 2024

The uranium-lead mineralisation was found in the mine dump material in the locality Bezděkov (Tachov area, western Bohemia, Czech Republic). Galena occurs as coarse-grained aggregates up to 5 cm in size in quartz gangue, partly replaced by cerussite. Cerussite forms massive and powdery aggregates replacing galena. It is orthorhombic, space group Pmcn with unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data: a 5.1848(2), b 8.5001(3), c 6.1478(2) Å and V 270.937(13) Å3. Kasolite forms globular aggregates covering the area up to several cm2. It is monoclinic, space group P21/c, the unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data are: a 6.7133(6), b 6.9516(8), c 13.2666(14) Å, β 104.156(8)o and V 600.33(11) Å3. The chemical analyses of kasolite correspond to the empirical formula Pb1.12Fe0.03Ca0.02K0.01(UO2)1.11(SiO4)1.00·H2O on the base of Si = 1 apfu. The Bezděkov ore occurrence belongs to the shear-zone hosted uranium mineralisation. The discovered mineralization originated by the weathering of galena and uraninite in conditions of supergene zone in-situ.
Charakteristika mineralizace skarnového výskytu Mýtinka - Vysoká, Krušné hory, Česká republika
Authors: Dolníček Zdeněk , Velebil Dalibor , Gebouský Milan
Published: December 2024

Two types of skarns and associated mineral veins were sampled at the Mýtinka - Vysoká skarn site near the Měděnec village (Krušné hory/Erzgebirge Mts., Czech Republic) and studied by means of BSE imaging and electron microprobe analyses. The Type I skarns composed mainly of garnet, epidote, and amphibole clearly prevail at the study site. In contrast, Type II skarn formed by garnet, biotite, and ca. 30 vol. % of magnetite is scarce. The mineral veins cutting skarn are composed of epidote, amphibole, albite, biotite, phengitic muscovite, chlorite, quartz, calcite, and K-felspar. The minerals from skarns and veins show the same chemical composition suggesting their coeval origin. In terms of mineral classification, garnets are represented exclusively by grossular (even in case of magnetite-rich skarn),
amphiboles by magnesiohornblende, edenite, magnesiohastingsite and actinolite (often potassic and fluorian varieties are present), biotite by phlogopite, chlorites by ripidolite, clinochlore and pennine, epidote-group minerals by epidote, clinozoisite and allanite-(Ce). A predominance of Mg-endmembers of minerals suggests for a Mg-rich protolith of skarns, which was likely dolomite marble or crystalline dolomite. Both these carbonate rocks are tightly spatially associated with skarns at the study site. The newly found skarn-hosted gahnite probably represents a relic mineral originating from metacarbonate protolith; a Zn-rich spinel was formerly described from calcite dolomite at the study site. Accessory titanite hosted by skarn contains in places a high proportion of CaAlSiO4F component (up to 33 mol. %), which is the highest content reported from skarns of the Krušné hory Mts., and small contents of Sn (up to 0.007 apfu). The input of K, Sn, F, and Fe could indicate a source of skarnization fluids in the granitoid rocks.

Authors: Hybler Jiří , Števko Martin , Dolníček Zdeněk , Sejkora Jiří
Published: December 2024

Cronstedtite from two Mexican localities: 1) San Antonio mine, 9th level, East camp, Santa Eulalia mining district, Aquiles Serdán Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico (MSA in the following), 2) Francisco I. Madero Mine, Noria de los Gringos, Zacatecas, Mexico (FIM in the following), were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction using the four-circle diffractometer with area detector. The reciprocal space (RS) sections were generated by the diffractometer software in order to determine OD subfamilies (Bailey’s groups) A, B, C, D, and particular polytypes. In the samples from MSA the polytype 3T (Subfamily A) is the most frequent. Some crystals are affected by twinning by reticular merohedry with the 180° rotation as twinning operation (obverse-reverse twinning). The 2H2 polytype (subfamily D) occurs rarely. In the FIM sample, the 2H1 + 2H2 allotwins (subfamily D) are most frequent. In one sample, the rare 6T1 polytype (subfamily D) was detected. The 3T polytype is rare. The electron probe microanalysis showed broad similarites in composition of the studied cronstedtites, characterized by common lack of any substitutes except of low S (up to 0.02 apfu; at both sites), and Cl (up to 0.01 apfu, at FIM only).

Vermicomposting is an eco-friendly and economical technique for managing various organic wastes, including agricultural, temple, and vegetable. As crucial soil invertebrates, Earthworms exhibit beneficial effects on the soil environment, influencing both physical properties and organic matter. They play a key role in recycling organic matter. Within the earthworm’s gut, numerous aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as fungi, are present. These microflorae establish a mutual symbiotic relationship with the earthworm’s digestive tract. The bacterial community functions as plant growth promoters, free-living nitrogen fixers, biocides, or phosphate solubilizers. Recognizing the immense importance of these gut microflora, a present investigation was conducted to study the microbial diversity in the gut of earthworms involved in vermicompost preparation using vegetable and temple waste. The selected earthworm species for this study was Eisenia fetida. Cow dung, vegetable, and temple waste were used in a ratio of 1:1 for vermicompost preparation. The experiment spanned approximately 60 days. The microbial diversity isolated from the gut of earthworms involved in the process of vermicomposting of vegetable and temple waste included various species of bacteria and fungi such as Escherichia, Staphylococcus, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, Mucor, Rhizopus, Aspergillus, etc.

Published: December 2024

The use of multiple strains of probiotics and multi-enzymes has been shown to enhance growth and immune function in poultry production. This study evaluated the effects of a LACTISAR (LACT), which contains probiotics and enzymes, compared to antibiotics. A total of 180 healthy one-day-old male chicks were randomly allocated into three dietary groups: (i) basal diet (BSD) with no feed additive, (ii) LACT (BSD + 100g LACTISAR/100 kg feed), and (iii) AGP (BSD + 200 g lincomycin/100 kg feed). Each group was subdivided into six replicates, with 10 birds per replicate. Results indicated that during the starter period, the LACT group showed significant improvements in live weight (LW), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to the BSD group. During the finisher and overall periods, the LACT group exhibited significant (P< 0.01) improvements in LW, ADG, and FCR when compared to both the BSD and AGP groups. No significant differences in average daily feed intake (ADFI) were observed among all groups (P> 0.05). Furthermore, the weight of immune organs (thymus, spleen, and bursa) was significantly higher (P< 0.01) in the LACT group compared to the BSD group. Additionally, the LACT group demonstrated significantly higher levels of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM) in serum (P< 0.01) compared to the BSD group. Overall, dietary supplementation with LACTISAR (a multi-probiotic and enzyme mixture) enhances both the growth performance and immune response of broiler chickens.

Published: December 2024

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most important staple crop with a demand-based need to ensure food security but faces the challenges of timely harvesting at crop maturity. Harvesting operation of the wheat crop is one of the major activities during crop production and is important for food security and sustainability. The study's main purpose is to investigate the impact of vehicle speed on wheat grain losses during the harvesting operation. Varied speeds of the combine harvester were observed during the field tests and measured the grain losses by using a designed sampling method. The field observation recorded that the normal working speeds of the combine harvester were in a range of 7.54 km/hr to 11.77 km/hr during field tests with an average of 9.59 km/hr. The average grain losses were noted at 49.80 kg acre-1 with a percentage of 2.49% of total grain production in one acre. The highest grain losses were 69.11 kg acre-1 with a 3.46% percentage, identified at a vehicle speed of 11.77 km/hr, while the lowest at 7.54 km/hr that 35.35 kg acre-1 with a 1.76% percentage loss. Threshing losses significantly influenced the overall grain loss, which ranged from 1% to 1.8%, with specific grain damage from 0.36% to 1.07%, and shattering losses ranging from 0.4% to 0.65% due to variable vehicle speeds. The outcomes of the study found that field speed had a linear relationship with grain loss. Conclusively, the research findings provide guidelines to the machine operators and farmers should optimize the working speed to minimize grain loss during wheat harvesting.

Published: December 2024

Zakat is one of the key instruments that plays a vital role in achieving the objective of fair and equitable wealth distribution within an Islamic state. In this regard, high zakat collection funds and the willingness of zakat payers to contribute beyond the obligatory amount are essential to successfully supporting this objective. This study aims to examine the existence of individuals who pay zakat above the required rate and to analyze the determinants influencing Muslim individuals to do so. A convenience sampling method was employed, focusing on public and private sector employees at the Subang Air Base in Selangor and Putrajaya. A total of 70 questionnaires were analyzed using Logistic Regression. The findings reveal that 31.4% of respondents simultaneously pay zakat al-fitr and income zakat above the obligatory rate. The study also found that income is a significant factor influencing zakat payments beyond the obligatory rate, while other factors, such as knowledge, motivation, zakat distribution and collection, and the zakat system, were found to be insignificant.

Sluices in the 'mud'
Authors: Hurx Merlijn
Published: December 2024

In the years 1540–1570, sluice construction in the Low Countries underwent an important transition. In addition to the introduction of mitre gates, the increasing use of stone was a vitally important innovation. The advantage of this building material was that it prolonged the lifespan of sluices and made it possible to build larger ones, with considerable benefits for shipping and water management. The improved sluices in turn contributed greatly to the rise and prosperity of the Dutch Republic. These new hydraulic works were much heavier than their wooden predecessors and needed to be securely anchored in the marshy clay and peat substratum. The structural aspects of sluice construction have been largely neglected to date. Sluice construction is regarded as a niche subject and as such cannot expect much attention from architectural historians. Unjustly so, because the construction of sluices did not evolve in a vacuum; it was a major task for municipal architects and contractors in the towns of the County of Holland. There are also indications that the structural challenges presented by building heavy stone sluices in the soft soils of Holland were crucial to the development of a scientific approach to building in peatland areas.Contemporary discussions about the best foundation engineering solutions for sluices shows that there were no standard solutions and that experts with a wide range of backgrounds were involved in their construction. We still have few details about the design of foundations in the sixteenth century and the extent to which the transition from wood to stone sluices contributed to the development of engineering solutions for improved foundations in general. Both experts and clients sought maximum certainty in an arena where knowledge was still evolving. Learning by example was essential and technical drawings and models became increasingly important tools for recording such acquired knowledge. A new, supra-regional knowledge network that included the southern Low Countries as well as Holland promoted the dissemination of new knowledge and expertise.
The interconnection of sluice building with urban and church building projects means that rather than being a niche subject, the construction of stone sluices had wider implications. It provided a testing ground for building on soft soils whereby the exchange of knowledge, soil research, and concrete experiments during construction delivered vital knowledge and expertise for building in peat.

Authors: Güleç Hakan , Özkaya Fügen
Published: December 2024

The objective of this study is to evaluate the aesthetic suitability of generative AI food images and to examine the potential role of AI in food styling and photography, including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In this research, eight dishes from Turkish cuisine, Imambayıldı and Zeytinyağlı enginar (artichoke with extra virgin olive oil) for the olive oil theme, Adana kebab and Hünkâr beğendi for the main course theme, fırında sütlaç (baked rice pudding) and pumpkin dessert for the dessert theme, çay (Turkish tea) and Turkish coffee for the beverage theme, were produced separately using Adobe Firefly 3 and DALL-E 3 Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. Real food photographs were also included for comparison. Thirty-one professional food stylists and photographers volunteered and participated in the study. Consequently, a total of 24 food images were created and evaluated by professionals according to six aesthetic criteria: lighting, color, composition, presentation, appropriateness of the props and background, and the creation of a mouth-watering sensation. The findings reveal no significant difference between the food photographs produced using the AI 1 application and real food photographs. Half of the images created by the AI 2 application also showed no significant differences compared to real images. However, significant differences were observed in five images between the two AI applications. Participants highlighted low costs, fast production, and flexibility as strengths of AI applications in food styling and photography. Conversely, weaknesses included the production of surreal images and aesthetic concerns. Opportunities were identified in fostering innovation, creativity, and new perspectives, while potential threats involved ethical and copyright concerns, overdependence on AI tools, and potential job displacement.

Authors: Żuchowski Paweł , Dura Marta , Jeka Daniel , Wojciechowski Rafał , Bierwagen Maciej , Kułakowski Michał
Published: December 2024

Axial radiographic spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease that leads to a considerable decline in the quality of life of patients by impairment of function and mobility, which, in turn, brings about a deterioration of both physical and mental health. Osteoporosis (OP) is a significant issue in the course of r-axSpA. Fractures resulting from OP complicate the treatment of the underlying disease and reduce the quality of life of patients. The aim of this paper is to discuss currently available diagnostic methods for OP and highlight why the gold standard for diagnosis – the assessment of bone mineral density via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry – is not sufficient for patients with r-axSpA.
