Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) affects the mobility and functional strength of children which leads to a decline in the quality of life of children. Functional strength training may considered objective-oriented to achieve some specific activity level and improve the overall performance of children. Objective: To determine the effects of additional functional strength training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy (HCP). Method: A single-blind randomized control trial (NCT05878756) was conducted on (n=40) children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) at the National Institute of Rehabilitation Science, Islamabad. Children who can follow commands, not using assistive devices, and are not being treated in any other rehabilitation services were included. Children aged 4-12 years were recruited through a non-probability convenient sampling technique and a total of n=40 participants were randomly divided into Group A (n=20) which received conventional therapy along with functional strength training for 4 weeks, while Group B (n=20) only received conventional physical therapy. Both groups received intervention for 4weeks. The tools, Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) used for the severity of mobility and, five times sit to stand (FTSST) to assess functional lower extremity strength, transitional movement balance, and fall risk in older adults, were used at baseline and post-treatment assessment. Results: Both groups had improvements in strength and mobility but there was significant improvement in strength and mobility in Group A after 4th week (p≤ 0.05). However, no significant increase in the dimension of lying and kneeling was observed. Comparison between both groups (pre and post-treatment) for dimensions of walking, running, and jumping in both groups showed significant improvement (p=0.045). According to the result of GMFM scoring, a significant improvement in the interventional group (A) as compared to Group B (p=0.003). So, there is a considerable increase in GMFM score for Group A than Group B group. Conclusion: It is concluded that additional functional therapy has a better outcome as compared to conventional therapy on mobility and strength of children with CP.

Почти все комбикорма для сельскохозяйственных животных, используемые на территории Казахстана, являются отечественного производства. Однако, в стране отсутствует производство кормов для служебных собак, поэтому они поступают на рынок Казахстана по очень высоким ценам.

Поиск новых видов кормопродуктов для производства полнорационных сухих комбикормов для служебных собак и создание рациональной технологии эффективного использования сырьевых ресурсов является весьма большой проблемой. Логичным продолжением деятельности промышленной отрасли и сельского хозяйства считается производство комбикормов для служебных собак. Применение вторичного сырья и отходов птицефабрик, мясокомбинатов даст возможность превратить их в вспомогательные источники производства кормов для собак, а кроме того поможет улучшить экологическую ситуацию на данных предприятиях.

Служебные собаки, в отличие от остальных пород собак, обладают силой,  выносливостью, развитой интуицией, острым нюхом, предназначены для розыскной, охранно-сторожевой и др. видов службы. При кормлении служебных собак необходимо учитывать их индивидуальные потребности. Для решения этой проблемы необходимо организовать производство кормов с учетом физиологических требований и вкусовых предпочтений служебных собак, а также их климатического содержания. От потребляемого корма зависит физиологическое состояние служебных собак (рост, состояние костей и шерсти, выносливость, размножение и прочее), что немало важно при интенсивных физических нагрузках.

The Philosophy of Realism in Education
Authors: Erikawati Erikawati
Published: December 2023

Realism is a philosophical teaching which considers that a truth is a real picture or a real copy of the world of reality from an idea that exists in someone’s mind. The goal of the philosophy of realism is to understand and recognize the existence of an external world that is objective and independent of the human mind. The philosophy of realism believes that the external world has a real existence and can be accessed through human observation and experience. Another goal of the philosophy of realism is to develop a better understanding of the world and avoid errors in the interpretation and understanding of reality. In the educational context, the philosophy of realism aims to develop education that is based on experience and objective observation, so that students can understand the world better and more accurately.

The potato culture has a pronounced elasticity, being practiced on numerous meridians and parallels of the globe, the product supplied representing a basic food in the human diet. The potato is also distinguished by its multiple possibilities of use (animal feed, industrial raw material, technological aspects, etc.) and by its high productive potential. Romania is a significant producer of potatoes in the European Union, but we suffer in terms of performances recorded on the productive unit.At national level, the potato price was 1.16 lei/kg for early, semi-early and summer potato, respectively 1.14 lei/kg for autumn potato. Differences are observed between development regions, with limits of 0.88 and 1.71 lei/kg for early production (Bucharest-Ilfov and West regions, respectively) and 0.80 and 1.67 lei/kg for autumn potatoes (Bucharest-Ilfov and South-West Oltenia regions). We can say that at regional level, prices are correlated to some extent, by their productive potential, as well as by the respective mode of intensity of supply and demand.

3D visualization has been present in medicine for several decades, just think of the CT (Computer Tomography) imaging modality, which is capable of creating 3D images of the examined object by determining the radiation attenuation coefficient. In addition to CT equipment, there are many solutions capable of collecting and displaying various 3D data (MRI [Magnetic Resonance Imaging], PET [Positron Emission Tomography], OCT [Optical Computer Tomography]). In digital pathology, 3D visualization is not nearly as widespread as the previously mentioned solutions. One of the main reasons for this is the size of the digitized pathological samples and the hardware resources required for their 3D visualization. In the paper, we present a client-server architecture that can provide a solution to the existing hardware limitations during the 3D visualization of digitized pathological samples. In the paper, we present the basic structure of our solution, several main functionalities, and the testing of the server software we developed.

Published: December 2023

The study analyzed farmers' level of adoption and perception of phosphorus based fertilizers for cowpea production in Katsina state, Nigeria. A total of 153 cowpea farmers were sampled using a multi-stage sampling technique. Primary data was utilized in the study. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire by trained enumerators. Descriptive statistics, Kendalls’ coefficient of concordance and acceptability index were employed for data analysis. The results showed that the mean age for cowpea farmers was 41 years. Distribution of the respondents by gender reveals that 85.6% were males and the remaining 14.4% were females. The result of farmers’ perception of phosphorus-based fertilizer used shows a moderate agreement of 0.30 which indicates different perceptions among respondents. The study further revealed that the acceptability index of 6.54% was very alarming because cowpea farmers committed a small portion of their farmland toward adopting the technology. The level of knowledge of the cowpea farmers on phosphorus based fertilizers was very low, leading to a very low level of acceptance of phosphorus fertilizers in the study area. It was recommended that be made available and affordable to the cowpea farmers as this will increase the rate of technology adoption in the study area.

Sarajevo – Potential and Limitations in the Development of the City and Region
Authors: Handalić Plahonjić Merdža , Kuka Fatima
Published: December 2023

Observing through the historical prism of regional development and regionalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina, city and region of Sarajevo have special importance and significance. This is mainly due to the fact that the City of Sarajevo is the main administrative center, i.e. the center of political, economic, cultural and overall social life and development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the same time, the Sarajevo is the center of Canton of Sarajevo, the center of this macro-region, as well as it is the capital of the entity of the Federation and state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. All those facts make Sarajevo attractive both for life and business, furthermore for studying its capacity and development potentials as well.

In modern economics, the regions represent an important development level, while regionalisation represent an essentional component of the political systems of the modern state. The regions have become a link between local and central (state) institutions of government and local and overall economic development of country. The Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long tradition of regionalization and regionalism. Over long time, it has gone through verious phases and forms of regionalisation depening on then chraging political order. Sarajevo as a city and the region has historicaly developed in two directions. First, towards the capital of state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the main administrative center. Secondly, towards the center of the region, i.e. the macro-region. Sarajevo macro-region is the most developed region in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of overall infrastructure and resources bacause of its normative, social importance and the position of the city itself. The territory covered by the Sarajevo macro-region has significant natural resources, energy potentials, as well as resources for the development of industry. Truistically, along with Mostar, it is a most impressive destination for tourists. Nevertheless, this macroregion still does not fully exploit the resources available to it, due to the many limitations and obsticles that directly affect it and that require adequate resolution.

Authors: Musa Rusmir
Published: December 2023

The foundations of the organization and functioning of the modern armed forces, especially in the light of the emerging global security paradigm, have been the subject of many scientific papers in the past period. The same applies primarily to highlighting global security challenges and general assumptions related to organization, management and command and control in the system of armed forces of members of the NATO alliance with an emphasis on the US Armed Forces as the representative and most important member of the organization in question. In addition to the above, it is necessary to descriptively present possible challenges and experiences related to the present limitations in the management system of the modern armed forces, as well as perspectives, i.e. the further direction of development and the specific role of state administration bodies in a very important state and social segment.

The basis of the complete elaboration within the subject scientific work is on the general characteristics of the position and functioning of the armed forces in modern democratic systems and the established organizational and management mechanisms of Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina as the only legal armed force in Bosnia and Herzegovina whose full legality and legitimacy is established within the framework of the Dayton Peace Agreement, more specifically in Article IV (Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina).

İktidarlar binlerce yıldır bilginin tüm insanlara akmasını ve zenginleşmesini arzu etmemişlerdir. Bilmesinlercilik düşüncesi doğrultusunda bilginin kendi tekelinde olmasını istemişler ve paylaşılmasını engellemişlerdir. Günümüzde yine çeşitli iktidarlar tarafından bu uygulamanın yapıldığı görülmektedir. Böylece gücü elinde tutmak adına kamusal bilgi geniş kitlelerden uzak tutulmakta ve yayılması engellenmektedir. Bu makalede Türkiye’de bilmesinlercilik düşüncesiyle haberlerin tüm kitle iletişim araçlarında engellenmesi konu olarak seçilmiştir Bu makalede tümdengelim yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu yöntemde felsefe ve mantıkta sahip olunan genel verilerden yola çıkılarak önceden belirlenmiş ilkelere göre olgusal sonuçlar çıkmaktadır. Aristoteles’in bilmesinlercilik ilkesinden hareketle yayın yasaklarının bilgiyi oluşturmadan zayıf bıraktığı veya yok ettiği iddiasından hareket edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda yayın yasakları ile ilgili mahkeme kararları incelenmiş ve bu kararların öncelikle ilgili mevzuat ile çeliştiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Basın Kanunu'nun 3/2 maddesi ile 6112 sayılı Radyo ve Televizyonların Kuruluş ve Yayın Hizmetleri Hakkında Kanun'un genişletilerek kararların alındığı görülmektedir. Bilginin öncülü ortadan kaldırılarak delilden yoksun bırakılmakta ve böylece insanların bilgiye ve habere ulaşması engellenmektedir. İnsanların gerçeklere ulaşması zorlaşmakta ve bilginin birikerek zenginleşmesinin önüne geçirmektedir.

Araştırmalar, toplumun büyük çoğunluğunun haber alma, bilgilenme, eğlenme ve boş zaman değerlendirme gibi gerekçelerle aktif televizyon izleyicisi olduğunu ve uyku haricinde kalan zamanlarının dikkate değer bir kısmını televizyon seyrederek geçirdiğini göstermektedir. Aynı toplumun bir parçası olarak doğan ve yetişkinleri model alarak büyüyen çocukların da televizyon izledikleri kaçınılmaz bir gerçektir. Çocukların, kendilerine yönelik televizyon kanallarında en fazla izledikleri yayınlar çizgi dizilerdir. Olumsuz etkileri sürekli dile getirildiği halde izlenmeye ve izletilmeye devam edilen çizgi dizilerin varlığını mümkün olduğunca bir avantaja dönüştürmek ise yayınların niteliğini arttırmak ile sağlanabilir. Bunun için çocuklara toplumsal farkındalık ve yetkinlikler kazandıracak kültürel unsurların çizgi dizilere yerleştirilmesi faydalı olacaktır. Bu kültürel unsurların en önemlilerinden biri ise kütüphane kültürüdür. Okuma kültürünün geliştirilmesi için bir lokomotif görevi de üstlenecek olan kütüphane kültürü, toplumdaki her bireye çocukluktan itibaren kazandırılması gereken bir kültürdür. Bu çalışma, çocuklar tarafından sevilerek izlenen çizgi dizilerin kütüphane kültürü geliştirmede bir araç olarak değerlendirilebilirliğinin sorgulanması ve bu bağlamda Molly of Denali adlı çizgi dizinin incelenmesi amacını taşımaktadır. Nitel olarak tasarlanan araştırma kapsamında Minika Çocuk kanalında yayınlanan Molly of Denali çizgi dizisinin sezon boyunca gösterilen 40 bölümünün tamamı incelenmiş ve epizotlarda geçen kitap, kütüphane ve okuma unsurları değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri, doküman incelemesi (belgesel tarama) yöntemi ile toplanmış ve içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Çizgi dizinin on beş bölümünde kitap ve okuma eylemine ilişkin unsurlar bulunurken altı bölümde kütüphane unsuru yer almaktadır. Kütüphane unsuru, doğru, güncel ve güvenilir bilgiye erişim ortamı olarak, insanların bir araya geldikleri ortak bir toplanma mekânı olarak, yerel belleğin saklanıp korunduğu bir merkez olarak ve etkinliklerin yapıldığı toplumsal bir yer olarak sunulmaktadır.

Bu çalışmada, sıvı organik gübrelerden solucan, yarasa, deniz yosunu ve mikrobiyal gübrelerin hercai menekşenin kalite ve fizyolojik özelliklerini nasıl etkilediği ve hangisinin çalışılan özelliklerde daha iyi sonuçlar verdiğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, sera koşullarında tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre 65 bitkiyle beş tekerrürlü deneme yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, kontrol ile dört sıvı organik gübrenin %1, %2 ve %4 dozları olmak üzere toplam 13 uygulama test edilmiştir. Test edilen sıvı organik gübrelerin çiçek ağırlığı, tomurcuk sayısı, bitki boyu, klorofil a + b / karetonoid ve nispi nem içeriği dışındaki tüm özellikler üzerine etkili olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunun yanında, hercai menekşenin çalışılan özelliklerinin yüksek ortalama değerleri özellikle sıvı solucan ve sıvı yarasa gübrelerinden elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada sıvı organik gübreler bireysel çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, ileriki araştırmalarda bu test edilen sıvı organik gübreler arasında ve diğer farklı gübrelerin çeşitli birleşimlerinin hercai menekşe bitkisinde birlikte test edilmesinin daha verimli olacağı öngörülmektedir. Ayrıca sıvı mikrobiyal gübre kullanımı durumunda diğer bitki besin maddelerinin de eklenmesi daha faydalı olacaktır.

Kitle iletişim araçlarının sahip olduğu nüfuz edici güç sayesinde kaynak ile hedef kitle arasındaki mesafe silinmiş ve geniş kitlelere ulaşmak kolaylaşmıştır. Diğer yandan kitle iletişim araçlarının sunduğu olanaklar doğrultusunda öteki pek çok şeyin yanı sıra kamu diplomasisi faaliyetleri yoğunluk kazanmıştır. Bu çerçevede Türkiye’nin siyasi sınırları dışında kalan ancak Türkçe konuşan topluluklara yönelik televizyon yayınları yapmak ve kamu diplomasisi faaliyetleri yürütmek maksadıyla 21 Mart 2009 tarihinde TRT Avaz televizyon kanalı kurulmuştur. Çalışma kapsamında TRT Avaz televizyon kanalından yayınlanan Avrasya Gündemi adlı haber programı araştırma evreni olarak belirlenmiş ve Azerbaycan ile Ermenistan arasında yaşanan Karabağ Savaşı (27 Eylül-10 Kasım 2020) esnasında yayınlanan program içerikleri araştırma örneklemi olarak incelenmiştir. Buna göre; haber, yorum ve uzman görüşlerinden oluşan toplam kırk dört program içeriğinde Azerbaycan’a yönelik olumlayıcı ifadeler ile Ermenistan’a yönelik eleştirel ifadeler süzülmüş ve kamu diplomasisi perspektifinden söylem analizine tabii tutulmuştur. Çalışma neticesinde araştırma örneklemi olarak incelenen içeriklerin genel manada Türkiye ile Azerbaycan devletleri arasındaki dış politik söylemle uyumlu, Ermenistan devletinin söylemlerine karşı ise çeşitli argümanlarla desteklenen eleştirel unsurlar içerdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Who is a Refugee?: A Critical Assessment of the 1951 Geneva Convention
Authors: KARAÇAY Ayşem Biriz
Published: December 2023

This article has been prepared to evaluate the adventure of the international protection system put forth by the 1951 United Nations Geneva Convention on the Legal Status of Refugees and its implementation by Turkey. The research, which is the culmination of a literature review and two online panels organized by GAR, discusses the modern asylum regime that emerged after the Second World War, in terms of the historical background, provisions, and implementation of the Convention. For, the fact that the inclusive international protection regimes are replaced by exclusionary policies that attempt to keep refugees and migrants away by forming a safe zone/country displays the course of the conspicuous change in the field from past to present. Hence, in this article, I have assessed whether the Convention produces durable solutions to extensive and complex population movements that neither abide by borders nor recognize the pressures in the face of externalization/security-oriented immigration/border policies that result in the erosion of protection of policies that secure the individual.

Sahne performansının olduğu her alanda heyecan, gerek izleyici gerekse icracı kişi veya topluluk için performans anının olmazsa olmaz bir bileşenidir. İyi ve etkili bir performans için olması gerektiği ve hatta heyecansız bir performansın yeterince verimli olmayacağı düşünülmekle beraber bu durum istenmeyecek düzeyde belirdiğinde sanatçının performansını olumsuz şekilde etkileyebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, müzik icra eden bireylerin performans kaygı düzeyleri ile kaygıyla başa çıkmada kullandıkları bilişsel stratejiler arasındaki ilişkilere yer verilmiştir. Araştırmaya Türkiye'nin birçok ilinden yüz yüze ya da çevrimiçi olanaklarla ulaşılan sanatçı, akademisyen, öğretmen ve öğrenci olmak üzere 346 müzisyen gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Veri analizinde yapılan korelasyon, bağımsız gruplar T-testi ve tek yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) sonuçlarına göre müzisyenlerin başa çıkma stratejileri ile kaygı düzeyleri arasında ilişki bulunduğu ve ayrıca kullanılan stratejilerin bazı değişkenlere göre farklılık gösterdiği saptanmıştır.

Authors: DEMİRTAŞ Bahattin
Published: December 2023

Hediye, tarih boyunca bütün kültürlerde görülen evrensel bir unsurdur. Bu kültürel unsurun amaçları, özellikleri, biçimleri devlet ve toplumlara göre farklılık göstermektedir. İlk Türk devletlerinden itibaren çeşitli kavramlarla ifade edilen hediye Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti’nin kurulmasından sonra da değişen şartlara göre devam ettirilen bir gelenek olmuştur.
Atatürk Döneminden itibaren Türkiye’ye gelen yabancı devlet başkanlarına verilen diplomatik hediyeler, muhatap ülke ile siyasî, kültürel, ekonomik ilişkilerde olumlu bir hava oluşturmak, ikili ilişkilerini geliştirmek, çeşitli sektörlerdeki işbirliğini devamlı kılmak gibi amaçlara katkı sağlamıştır. Türkiye’nin uluslararası ve bölgesel politikalarında dostluk, barış ve dayanışmanın bir aracı olmuştur. Ayrıca hediyeler ile özellikle Orta Doğu, Balkanlar ve Asya ülke liderlerine karşı Türkiye’nin zenginliklerini göstermek ve saygınlıklarını artırmak gibi sembolik hedeflerde gözetilmiştir.
Bu çalışmada konu, arşiv belgeleri, süreli yayınlar, telif ve tetkik eserler gibi kaynaklardan yararlanılarak hazırlanmıştır. Buna göre; Atatürk Dönemi’nde Türkiye’ye gelen Afganistan Kralı Amânullah Han’dan itibaren pek çok devlet başkanına sunulan diplomatik hediyelerin neler olduğu ve sunuş biçimlerine değinilecektir. Diplomatik ziyaretlerin oldukça arttığı bir dönem olan Demokrat Parti iktidarı yıllarında ise hediye takdim edilen ülkelerde bariz farklılıklar ve farklı uygulamalara dikkat çekilecektir.
BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF INSECT PESTS Spodoptera exigua Hubner ORIGIN NORTH SULAWESI
Authors: Satiman Utari , Taulu Marthy
Published: December 2023

One component of integrated pest control is biological control or biological control based on the bioecology of the pest by taking into account the results obtained and their long-term effects through ecology and economy. The success of controlling a type of pest requires studies on various factors that affect the life of a pest, namely biology, morphology, ecology, genetics, and evolution. Knowledge of the biology of a pest species will provide appropriate information in breaking the life cycle or making the surrounding environment not provide optimal carrying capacity so that the pest population can be suppressed below the economic threshold. Spodoptera exigua is a polyphagous insect pest that eats from many plant types. In the larval stage, this pest attacks more than 20 species of cultivated and wild plants. For over twenty years, the onion caterpillar S. exigua has been the main target for chemical control but is still the main pest on onion crops. Spodoptera exigua attacks occur throughout the year in North Sulawesi and are spread over a wide geographical range, allowing genetic differences within the species. Gene mutations cause the occurrence of genetic diversity in a species in a population. High genetic diversity in individuals in a population can be one inhibiting factor in successfully controlling a pest species. Increasing knowledge about the biology of a pest species is very important to understand its habits, reproductive ability, and distribution which will later be used to limit and control the pest population.

The mint plant (Mentha piperita L.) is one of the many aromatic herbal plants that produce essential oil commonly known as peppermint oil. Meanwhile, the soka flower plant (Ixora paludosa L.) is an ornamental plant that fills the planting elements with fast growth and beautiful, vigorous plants. This study aimed to assess the effect of lime insecticides combined with mint leaf extract (Mentha piperita L.) and soka flower extract (Ixora Paludosa L.) on red fire ants (Solenopsis invicta). This study used four red fire ant samples (Solenopsis invicta), which were divided into five treatment groups: X1 (75% mint leaf extract and 25% soka flower extract); X2 (75% soka flower extract and 25% mint leaf extract); X3 (50% soka flower extract and 50% mint leaf extract); Negative control (lime base); and Positive control (branded lime). The sample size for this study was 80 red fire ants (Solenopsis invicta), with each control group consisting of four fire ants, and the experiment was repeated four times. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the data, revealing significant differences between the treatment groups. Therefore, the researchers concluded that the administration of 50% mint leaf extract and 50% soka flower extract effectively disrupted the activity of red fire ants
