Urban–rural differences in mortality during the 2010 heatwave in European Russia
Authors: Maksimenko Mikhail , Timonin Sergey , Shartova Natalia , Varentsov Mikhail
Published: May 2024

The 2010 summer heatwave in European Russia led to a notable increase in mortality due to extreme heat and associated wildfires. However, the diverse settlement patterns and the uneven impact of the heatwave in European Russia have left many geographical aspects of this event unexplored. For instance, the variations in excess mortality between major cities and smaller urban and rural areas remain unclear. According to our findings, during the 27–33 weeks of 2010, the total number of excess deaths was estimated at 56.0, with nearly 20% of them concentrated in Moscow. The age-standardized mortality rate in cities with more than one million inhabitants exceeded the expected values by 52% during the heatwave, while the excess mortality rate in rural areas was only 17%. The geographical area experiencing the highest excess mortality rate aligned with the zone of the greatest heatwave extent, as indicated by deviations from the climatic norm in temperatures and other measures of thermal stress. The risk of death from this increase in thermal stress more accurately represented by the Heat Index was found to be substantially higher in larger cities of 500,000 or more inhabitants, with the risk of death being especially high in major cities. Notably, air pollution was not found to be a significant modifier of excess mortality. It is important to note that the results obtained may have been influenced by the use of raster-based data from climate reanalysis, which may be expected to underrepresent local urban heat island effects, and consequently to underestimate risk exposure in urban areas.
Fostering a Public Appreciation of Film Music in the U.S.A.
Authors: Marshall Elsa
Published: May 2024

The American periodical Film Music Notes spurred a critical consideration of film music and of building public appreciation of the arts during its run from 1941 to 1958.  This history of its first decade starts with the connections and efforts of a group of Hollywood women on behalf of the National Federation of Music Clubs, to their founding of the National Film Music Council, to the final stage in editor turnover from the founding editors. It contributes to histories of professionalization of artistic and cultural study through its analysis of how the editors experimented with structuring content in a way to encourage the public to appreciate film music. This was influenced by changing relations between Film Music Notes and Hollywood studios, the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, and educational organizations. This context explains how prominent composers and critics came to contribute to the periodical and the larger debates that were shaping their writings.

Authors: Xie Nanzi , Mei Sisi , Dai Changlan , Chen Wei
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to investigate the roles of PALMD in ovarian cancer. mRNA expression was detected using RT-qPCR. The aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity and biomarkers of ovarian cancer stem cells were determined using flow cytometry. The stemness of ovarian cancer cells was determined using sphere formation assay. Cell viability was determined using CCK-8 assay. The number of colonies was determined using colony formation assay. Cell migration was detected using wound healing assay. Cell invasion was determined using transwell assay. The results showed that PALMD was downregulated in ovarian cancer. Overexpressed PALMD inhibited the proliferative, migrative, and invasive ability of ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, PALMD inhibited the stem-like properties of ovarian cancer cells. Additionally, PALMD downregulated ring finger protein 145 (RNF145) expression, overexpression of which contributed to the aggressiveness of ovarian cancer cells. Taken together, PALMD suppressed ovarian cancer cell stem specification via inhibiting RNF145 expression.

Published: May 2024

Cordyceps militaris, a medicinal fungus rich in cordycepin, shows promise in treating diseases such as cancer, respiratory issues, and COVID-19. This study examines the impact of different Taiwanese rice varieties on its solid-state fermentation, focusing on optimizing cordycepin production. The results indicated that the cordycepin yield was indeed affected by the type of rice used. In terms of the fruiting bodies, germ rice resulted in the highest yield (13.1 ± 0.36 mg/g), followed by brown rice (11.9 ± 0.26 mg/g). In the rice culture medium (RCM), brown rice led to the highest yield (4.77 ± 0.06 mg/g). Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and untargeted metabolomics, the study identifies four key volatile components linked to cordycepin, providing insights into developing functional rice porridge products. These findings are significant for advancing cordycepin mass production and offering dietary options for older individuals.

Authors: Lacerda Santos Gilberto
Published: May 2024

Já é consolidado e de senso comum que as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação, Comunicação e Expressão (TICE) e outras tecnologias disruptivas impactam irreversivelmente todas as modalidades de ensino. No âmbito da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, a adoção de novos modos de formação em resposta a esses impactos torna-se uma necessidade premente, relacionada com a própria pertinência da escola e com o cumprimento de seu papel social. Mas, como atores de nosso ecossistema público de educação profissional e tecnológica percebem esse cenário e seu impacto na organização curricular e nas diferentes áreas de formação? Que dificuldades apontam para que as mudanças decorrentes da chamada “Indústria 4.0” reflitam na formação profissional e tecnológica? Qual o futuro dessa modalidade de ensino face ao avanço das TICE e das demais tecnologias disruptivas? O presente artigo, decorrente de estudo realizado para o Centro de Gestão e Estudos Estratégicos (CGEE), aprofunda o entendimento dessa situação problemática e, a partir de posicionamentos coletados junto a vinte gestores de Institutos Federais de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, procura contribuir com elementos de resposta para essas questões fundamentais para uma melhor qualificação do fator humano que lida com contextos laborais em efervescência e em plena transformação.
Femmephobia and Penetration in the Development of Masculinity and the (Anti)Nationalist Identity of Reinaldo Arenas in Antes que Anochezca
Authors: Ramirez-Franco Javier
Published: May 2024

This article addresses the relationship between masculinity and nationalism, especially in literature of exile. It investigates the militarism of the Cuban national identity that promotes homophobia through a disdain for the feminine in the development of national masculinity. Antes que anochezca therefore exemplifies anti-nationalist exile literature as it rejects Castroist censorship and the criminalization of homosexuality. However, while the novel is anti-nationalist, it continues to perpetuate a repudiation of femininity as he valorizes masculinity, showcased in his sexual relationships between men. This is done in the novel through a dichotomy of active and passive roles in men who have sex with men that is established through the roles of penetrator/penetrated. Therefore, femmephobic ideology based on the national development of Cuban masculinity has permeated queer literature in exile, even in an anti-nationalist novel.
A “Maverick Salafi Political Jihadist” in a Turbulent Period: A Biographical Study of Dr Fauzi
Authors: Azca Muhammad Najib
Published: May 2024

A biographical study through the lens of Mills’ sociological imagination and Erikson’s identity crisis provides a unique understanding of Dr Fauzi AR, a dedicated Islamist. Fauzi grew up in a devout Muslim family in Kauman, Yogyakarta, the heartland of the modernist Islamic organisation Muhammadiyah. He was educated in Muhammadiyah schools and eventually became a qualified medical doctor. He was politically active in the Islamic United Development Party and joined Laskar Jihad, a Salafi-Wahabi paramilitary group, during the inter-religious conflict in Maluku in 2000. This article argues that the political turbulence during the democratic transition in 1998–1999 led Fauzi to have an identity crisis, which spurred his desire to participate in jihad (holy war). Afterwards, Fauzi became a reformed “maverick post-jihadist,” in that he was unpredictable yet competent. He was unorthodox in his methods, remaining active in mainstream political Islam through the United Development Party while also engaging in physical jihad, which is contradictory because participation in partisan politics is forbidden by the Salafi doctrine. He also remained a heavy smoker although smoking is forbidden by Salafi religious decree. He further defied Salafism by supporting his wife in an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the national parliament as a member of the secular-nationalist party Gerindra in the 2009 election. This case study of Fauzi AR reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of political Islam and Islamic movements in the post-Soeharto era, including those who resorted to extremism and violence to achieve greater Islamisation of society.

Published: May 2024

Strengthening the scientific component within the structure of the educational process in modern higher educational institutions in Ukraine has determined the task of clarifying students’ perception of the essence of conducting scientific work. The topicality of the research is determined by the fact that in the conditions of the current structure of university life, based on the principle of student-centeredness, students are autonomous subjects of study who participate in the educational process evaluation and improvement within the framework of the relevant curricula. The goal was to determine the perception and clarify the attitude of students towards the scientific work that is carried out in the university environment (based on the Ukrainian example) and to which they were involved during their studies. The following methods were used for its realization: theoretical (analysis, concretization, synthesis and systematization – while the scientific problem justification; generalization – for formulating the obtained results); empirical (written survey – questionnaire “Assessment of my scientific work during university study”); mathematical (calculation of the results). The article outlines three levels of students’ scientific work that takes place in the modern educational environment of the university: mastering the educational component “Fundamentals of Scientific Research”; involvement in various types of scientific work conducted in the system of higher educational institutions; carrying out research within the framework of the scientific subject-matter, scientific projects. The perception of students regarding the content and accomplishment of scientific work during their study at the university is presented, as well as recommendations for its improvement based on the results of the developed author’s questionnaire, which included 15 questions. Conclusions reveal the students’ awareness of the necessity for the scientific work tasks and their attitude towards their own participation as full-fledged subjects in the carrying out scientific research. The prospects of the raised problem will be the development of a strategy for improving student scientific work at the university through the prism of its evaluation by students.
CULTURAL LITERACY IN EDUCATION AND SOCIOCULTURAL ENVIRONMENT THE HISTORICAL PERIODS OF THE FOUNDING AND RENEWAL OF THE STATE OF LATVIA
Authors: Lodiņa Solvita , Jurs Pāvels
Published: May 2024

The world’s geopolitical conflicts and ideological pluralism of society raise the importance of cultural literacy development in the micro and macro relations of different nations. After the Second World War, nations formed the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisations (UNESCO), to learn peaceful coexistence based on cultural values. Latvia as a UNESCO Member State since 1991, together with 25 European Union countries, developed a handbook on cultural awareness and expression in 2016, and in 2023 – a material for promoting cultural literacy among young people. Latvians’ love for their nation, language, and cultural heritage helped found their own country, Latvia, in 1918 and later, in 1991, to restore it, preserving its freedom to this day. In both historical periods and now, there have been minorities in Latvia. From 2023 onwards, education for them will be exclusively in Latvian. Therefore, in education and the socio-cultural environment, cultural literacy should be developed through the preservation of historical memory, patriotic education. The aim of the theoretical research is to find out the genesis of the concept of cultural literacy in relation to education in the socio-cultural environment of the founding-restoration period of the Latvian state. Using a quantitative method of systemic literature analysis; in the stage of qualitative analysis of historical documents, periodical content analysis, and data interpretation, it was concluded that the concept of cultural literacy in the educational content of the sociocultural environment of 1918-1940 can be seen in the United, Neighbourhood, Homeland, and Nationality teachings, but after 1991. - in the Latvian Folk Life Curriculum for Educators, in 1995, the program of the Latvian Latvian folklore education in the principle of educational methodology, 1995 in the Cultural Policy Guidelines - Chapter IV on General Education.
EMPOWERING PSYCHOLOGICALLY TRAUMATISED CHILDREN AT SCHOOL: THE EXPERIENCE OF SOCIAL PEDAGOGUES
Authors: Gudžinskienė Vida , Karasevičiūtė Salomėja
Published: May 2024

The aim of the study is to reveal the experience of social pedagogues in empowering psychologically traumatised children at school. Qualitative research was chosen for the study by using the method of semi-structured interview. 10 social pedagogues, who work in school in different Lithuanian regions, participated in the study. The study revealed the experience of social pedagogues in empowering traumatised children in school. The study highlighted that in empowering children who have experienced psychological trauma, it is first of all important for the social pedagogue to show the child individual care and provide him with the necessary support. Ensuring that the child receives emotional support and counselling, if necessary using the services of a psychotherapist or psychologist. It is also important to work with the child's family to understand the family's needs and capacity to provide the necessary support. Provide the family with practical help and advice on how to cope with the child's trauma and stress. In order to empower children, it is important to allow them to participate in decision-making because then children will feel in control of their own lives. Empowering psychologically traumatised children requires providing them with a safe and stable environment where they can feel calm and have their needs met. It is equally important that traumatised children become involved in classroom activities or social groups at school, to build relationships and receive support from the school community. Social educators emphasise the importance of educational activities in the school community to help children develop their skills and talents. Long-term collaboration to empower children and their families ensures sustainable well-being of society.
(UN)USED POTENTIAL – THE PROCESS OF BECOMING INDEPENDENT BY YOUNG-ADULT FOSTER CARE CHILDREN
Authors: Kędzierska Hanna , Zagulski Sylwester
Published: May 2024

The transition to adulthood of young people leaving foster care is an important research topic. The results of many international studies show that care leavers are at high risk of social exclusion. In 2023, an amendment to the Act on foster care was introduced in Poland to increase the number of successful transitions into adulthood. The aim of the empirical study we undertook was to analyse the relevance of long-term care solutions implemented in Poland for children leaving foster care, from the perspective of professional caregivers of the process of becoming independent. The study had the character of a field reconnaissance (Minski, 2017), as it allowed us to verify the issues undertaken before the next stage of the research. We decided to conduct individual in-depth interviews with guardians of empowerment. Our research shows that, despite many pertinent statutory solutions, in practice the system does not work as it should.  The main problem is the systemic marginalization of carers' problems and the lack of substantive and psychological support for them.
MULTICULTURALISM AND INTERCULTURALISM: REALITY OR VISION IN TEACHING
Authors: Birzniece Baiba , Latsone Lāsma
Published: May 2024

Today, the increasing mobility of people, globalisation and various political and economic circumstances have created a situation in which intercultural communication issues are more often on our minds. As shown on the Official Statistics website, of the 38708 long-term migrants who arrived in Latvia in 2022, only 5214 were ethnic Latvians, while 7758 were school-age children (Latvijas oficiālā statistika, 2023). The publication examines the experience of intercultural education in Latvia to date, keeping in mind that not only in Latvia, but also globally, there are different opinions on how much attention should be paid on intercultural education issues in schools. The aim of this publication is to analyse the readiness of general education teachers of Latvia to work in multicultural classrooms using the teaching methods, which require a pedagogical approach based on a tolerant attitude towards ethnic, cultural and religious differences between the people. The main research question: how much teachers in comprehensive schools are aware of intercultural education issues and willing to use intercultural education methods in their work. The study is based on the results of a survey of teachers working in grades 1-12 in general education schools. The research results lead to the conclusion that teachers’ awareness on intercultural issues is not sufficient.
THE ROLE OF THE SOCIAL WORKER IN DEVELOPING CHILDREN'S INDEPENDENCE IN COMMUNITY CARE HOMES
Authors: Virbalienė Rita , Čižikienė Janina
Published: May 2024

This article analyzes the role of social workers in developing children's independence in community care homes. The primary goal of a social worker's activity is to provide a suitable service and teach the recipients of their services to solve problems on their own. The children's opportunity to see and grow up in a close family environment depends on the employees' value orientation and worldview. During the deinstitutionalization processes in Lithuania, social workers had to create an environment close to the family and consolidate the family model in communal children's care homes. This article aims to examine how the training and competencies of social workers impact the preparation of children for independent living in society. Applied research methods are analysis of scientific literature and documents, expert interviews, analysis, and interpretation of research results. The review of the scientific literature, presented in the article and the research data, can be applied to improve community care homes providing social services to highlight the role of social workers in creating a safe environment for the child, involving the child in the planning and organization of activities, fostering self-confidence and their abilities.
Cardiohemodynamic responses and heart rate variability following an active orthostatic test among male residents of the North with different NOS3 (rs2070744) genotypes
Authors: Bezmenova I. N. , Averyanova I. V.
Published: May 2024

AIM: This study explored associations between the -786TC (rs2070744) genetic polymorphism of the NOS3 gene and the main indices of systemic hemodynamics and heart rate variability following an active orthostatic test in men living in the North. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty-three healthy men aged 33.5±1.5 yеаrs on average, who were permanent residents of the Magadan Region, comprised the sample. The participants underwent both resting and active orthostatic testing modes. Cardiovascular system variables were recorded using an automatic tonometer. Hemodynamic indices were then calculated. Short-term heart rate variability in frequency and spectral areas was simultaneously measured using the Varikard hardsoft complex unit. Genotyping was conducted using polymerase chain reaction. The sample was then divided into two groups: Group 1 consisted of homozygotes with the TT genotype (n=34), while Group 2 comprised carriers of the NOS3*C allele variant (genotypes TC+CC) associated with reduced nitric oxide production (n=49). RESULTS: By examining the complex vasomotor, chrono- and inotropic reactions of hemodynamic and heart rate variables during the active orthostatic test, we were able to discern unique patterns in the response of the two groups under study. Men in Group 1 demonstrated an elevated cardiac output response during orthostatic changes, while maintaining consistent vascular resistance values. This was accompanied by a shift towards sympathetic autonomic activity and an increase in the very low-frequency component of heart rate variability. In Group 2, individuals with sympathetic insufficiency and increased vascular resistance during the orthostatic test showed a 35% increase in the low-frequency component of the cardiac rhythm reflecting the importance of this indicator as a stimulator of blood pressure rhythm fluctuations mediated by baroreflex mechanisms. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that men lacking the NOS3*С allele variant in their genotype demonstrate more favorable responses to the active orthostatic test. This may reflect higher level of cardiovascular functional reserves. The 786TC (rs2070744) polymorphism of the NOS3 gene can be considered as a marker of cardiohemodynamic status and autonomic regulations during functional exercise, such as an active orthostatic test.

RATIONALE: At main pipeline transport facilities, the entry of harmful chemicals into the air of the working area can negatively affect the body of workers. The absence in the existing regulatory documents of clearly formulated criteria for the selection of specific harmful chemical compounds to control their content, especially if they are a multicomponent mixture, introduces certain difficulties in identifying pollutants in the air of the work area. The presence of criteria will allow the employer to correctly draw up a production program, the frequency of laboratory tests to obtain more objective and reliable information about the potential harmful effects of chemicals on workers and timely take measures to prevent their negative effects. AIM: Justification of the list of harmful substances for analytical monitoring of their content in the air of the working area of main pipeline transport facilities for oil and petroleum products. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the air in the working area was carried out at 12 oil pumping stations and 5 oil product pumping stations located in Russia. RESULTS: Using chromatography-mass spectrometry, the composition of the gas-air environment formed as a result of oil evaporation was determined, which made it possible to determine a list of harmful chemicals for further planned analytical monitoring of their content in the air of the working area.CONCLUSION: Sampling should be carried out in places with the highest probability of gas emissions into the air. When transporting oil, it is necessary to establish strict analytical control at workplaces over the content of aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons C2-C10, dihydrosulfide mixed with hydrocarbons, benzene in the air, when pumping petroleum products - benzene, gasoline or kerosene, i.e. depending on the type of petroleum product transported.
Source Scaling, Spatially Variable Path Attenuation, and Site-Effect Parameters via a Generalized Inversion Technique for Strong-Motion Data from Sichuan, China

Published: May 2024

Quantifying the source, propagation path, and site characteristics accurately is pivotal for evaluating regional earthquake hazards. The nonparametric generalized inversion technique of strong-motion records offers an effective approach for analyzing these three fundamental elements. However, this technique might overlook the spatial variation of regional attenuation and the inherent uncertainty of reference stations. To enhance the understanding of strong ground motion characteristics in the Sichuan area, this study employs an improved nonparametric inversion scheme to analyze 3338 sets of strong-motion data from 397 earthquakes (Ms 3–6.5) that occurred in the Sichuan region between 2007 and 2020. In terms of regional source characteristics, the setting of low-frequency cutoffs in strong-motion records may lead to the overestimation of corner frequency and stress drop for earthquakes with higher magnitudes. Conversely, for events with moment magnitudes less than 5, the regional stress drop levels tend to stabilize as the magnitude increases. Furthermore, stress drop is independent of depth and fault type. Regarding path attenuation, considering the influence of Moho reflection, the geometric attenuation is limited to R−1 within a hypocentral distance of 75 km. The nonparametric results from 75 to 300 km show that as the hypocentral distance increases, the geometric attenuation in this region first decreases and then stabilizes. Furthermore, the mean level of the inelastic attenuation factor Qs is 199.5f0.98. Pertaining to site effects, we observe that at the edge of the Sichuan basin, the amplification of sites in the long-period part is clearly characterized and tends to stabilize with increasing frequency. In addition, the site amplification factor of 33 logarithmically spaced frequency points between 0.5 and 20 Hz has a linear relationship with the soil layer parameter VS30 or VS20. The correlation coefficients of both show moderate correlation, among which VS30 is slightly better than VS20.

Humuslu muhaddis Ebü’l-Yemân Hakem b. Nâfi‘ (ö. 222/837), hadislerin tedvin ve tasnif döneminde yaşamıştır. Cerh ve ta‘dîl âlimlerinin sika kabul ettiği Ebü’l-Yemân; Yahyâ b. Maîn, Ahmed b. Hanbel, Dârimî, Buhârî gibi elliden fazla muhaddise hocalık yapmıştır. Bir süre Humus kadılığı vazifesini de yürüten Ebü’l-Yemân, meslektaşlarının aksine, hadis tahsili için başka şehirlere yolculuk yapmamıştır. Ebü’l-Yemân’ın el-Cüzʾü, tedvin döneminin son ürünlerinden; tasnif döneminin izlerini taşıyıp günümüze ulaşan eserlerden biri olması bakımından dikkatlerden kaçmamıştır. el-Cüzʾ, Zührî’nin şeyhleri esas alınarak farklı konuları muhtevi 73 rivayetten oluşmaktadır. Eserin rivayetleri esbâb-ı vürûdlar hakkında ayrıntılı bilgiler içermektedir. el-Cüzʾde yer alan bazı metinlerin sonraki kaynaklarda aslını koruyarak yer alması, ilk dönemlerde yazılı metinlerden istifade edildiği iddiasını güçlendirmektedir. Çalışmamızda Buhârî’nin yazılı kaynaklarından birini teşkil ettiğini düşündüğümüz Cüzʾün fîhi Ehâdîs Ebi’l-Yemân adıyla maruf eserin temel hadis kaynaklarına ne derece intikal ettiği ve özellikle Sahîh-i Buhârî’de ne kadar yer aldığını tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktayız. Çalışmamızda, Ebü’l-Yemân’ın hayatı ve ilmî kişiliğine değinilmiş; aynı zamanda, cerh ve ta‘dîl âlimlerinin hocası Şuayb’dan hadis alış yöntemi üzerine yaptıkları değerlendirmelere de yer verilmiştir. Yine çalışmamızda öncelikle, temel hadis kaynaklarında aynı sened ve metinle yer alan el-Cüzʾün rivayetleri tespit edilmiş, ardından bu rivayetlerin mutâbi‘i ve şâhidi zikredilmiştir.

Authors: Gün Faruk
Published: May 2024

Ebû’l-Abbâs Abdullah b. Muhammed b. Abdillâh el-Enbârî, müstear adıyla Nâşi’ el-Ekber olarak tanınır. 293/906 yılında Enbâr'da doğan ve Bağdat'ın entelektüel atmosferinde yetişen Nâşi’ el-Ekber, Mu‘tezilî düşünceyi benimsemiş ve kelâm, felsefe, mantık alanlarında enteleküel bilgi birikimine sahip olmuştur. Kelâmî tartışmalardaki başarısıyla "Nâşi’" lakabını kazanan el-Enbârî, eserlerinde Mu‘tezilî idealleri savunmuş ve Aristo'nun mantık teorisi üzerine eleştirileriyle tanınmıştır. Eleştirel yaklaşımı nedeniyle geniş bir muhalif kitlesi edinen Nâşi, Kahire'ye sığınmak zorunda kalmıştır. İmâmet meselesine odaklanan "Mesâ’ilü’l-imâme" adlı çalışması, kelâm ilminde mezhepleşme sürecine dair önemli bir kaynak olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu araştırma, Nâşi el-Ekber'in imâmet konusundaki detaylı ele alışını ve bu konunun kelâm ilminin gelişimindeki merkezi rolünü ortaya koymaktadır. Nâşi el-Ekber'in çalışması, İslâm’ın ilk yüzyıllarından günümüze kadar uzanan geniş bir perspektifte, siyasî ve itikadî mezheplerin tarihçesini ele alarak, bu mezheplerin doktrinlerini ve sosyal etkilerini anlamamızda bize rehberlik etmektedir. Araştırmamız, Nâşi el-Ekber'in kelâm ilmindeki merkezi konumunu ve onun eserlerinin, özellikle "Mesâ’ilü’l-imâme"nin, İslâm düşünce tarihindeki önemini vurgulamaktadır. Nâşi'nin imâmet meselesine getirdiği ayrıntılı bakış açısı, Müslüman topluluklar arasındaki ayrışmanın anlaşılmasında ve kelâm ilminin evriminde önemli bir etken olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu araştırma Nâşi el-Ekber'in kelâm ilmindeki imâmet üzerine düşüncelerinin, İslâm düşünce tarihindeki mezhepleşme ve ekolleşme süreçlerinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına olanak tanıdığını tespit etmiştir. Nâşi'nin eserleri, bu süreçlerin karmaşıklığını ve İslâm toplumunun dinamiklerini yansıtmakta, İslâm düşünce tarihindeki farklılaşmaların kökenlerine dair derinlemesine bir anlayış sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, İslam düşünce tarihinde imâmet meselesinin mezhepçilik üzerindeki etkilerini ve teoloji biliminin gelişimini daha geniş bir perspektiften inceleyerek literatüre katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
PROTESTAN MİSYONERLİĞİNİN ANADOLU’DAKİ YAYILIMINDA TERCÜME, KİTAP VE SEYYAR KİTAPÇILAR (1850-1900)
Authors: Asoğlu İsmail
Published: May 2024

XIX. yüzyılda; Osmanlı Protestanlarının entelektüel ve manevi tekâmülünde, misyoner kitap satıcı ve dağıtıcılarının payı büyüktü. Bu iş, misyonerliğin eğitim yapılanması açısından öncelikli görevler arasında yer alıyordu. Bilhassa İstanbul American Bible House’da basılan eserler, seyyar kitapçılar sayesinde Anadolu’nun birçok şehir ve köylerine taşındı. Kimyadan matematiğe, doğa felsefesinden ahlak biliminin unsurlarına ilişkin kitap basımının artışı, Protestan misyonerliğinin gelişim göstergelerinden biriydi. Devlet için Tevrat ya da İncil’in dağıtımı sorun yaratmazken, mezhebî farklılıkları öne çıkaran eserlerin, özellikle cami ve medrese civarında satım ve dağıtımı sakıncalı görülmüştü. Misyonerlik açısından merkezi bir yere sahip tercüme, kitap satım ve dağıtımı, bu alandaki çabaların anlaşılması bakımından önem arz eder. Bu nedenle çalışma, 1850-1900 yılları arasında, işlevsel olarak tercümenin, kitap satım ve dağıtımının Anadolu Hristiyanları üzerindeki somut dönüştürücü etkilerine odaklanmaktadır. Protestan misyonerliğinin bu siyaseti, Osmanlı Devleti’nin reform çabalarıyla karşılaştırmalı olarak ele alınmayı gerektirmektedir. Misyonerlerin hatırat ve raporları, Osmanlı sahasındaki faaliyetlerinin yayımlandığı “Missionary Herald” bültenleri ile Osmanlı Arşivlerindeki merkez ile yerel idareler arası yazışmalar sürecin anlaşılması adına zengin veriler sunmaktadır.

Published: May 2024

Daha önceki birçok araştırma, internetteki ve sosyal medyadaki katılımcılık olanaklarını ve olasılıklarını tartışmış, önemli bir kısmı da konuyu tekno-determinist ve tekno-optimist yaklaşımla ele alarak literatürde yer edinmiştir. Söz konusu araştırmalar, tartışmalarında ana akım sosyal medyaların özel mülkiyete ait şirketler olduğu ve bu şirketlerin tekel konumuna eriştiğini gözden kaçırmıştır. Ayrıca bu şirketlerin ticari hedefleri doğrultusunda hedefli reklamcılık sistemini aktif biçimde kullanmaları, üretketici gözetimini ortaya çıkararak üretketicilerin dijital emeğinin akademik düzeyde tartışılmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışma ise ticari sosyal medyanın tekel konumundaki hegemonik üstünlüğünü vurgulayarak bu şirketlerle üretketiciler arasında yeni bir toplumsal tabakalaşmanın oluştuğunu iddia etmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, çalışma, ekonomi-politik yaklaşımı benimseyerek sosyal medya üretketicilerinin konumunu ve sosyal medya şirketlerinin üretketicileri metalaştırma sürecini tartışmayı amaçlamıştır. Ekonomik yapının nasıl işlediği, üretketicilerin dijital emeği ve dijital emeğin maddi değere dönüşümü Instagram ve TikTok özelinde tartışılmıştır. Ortaya çıkan sonuçlar hem Instagram’ın hem de TikTok’un, üretketicilerini yalnızca ekonomik amaçlarına ulaşılmasında araç olarak gördüğünü, görünürlüğün ve dikkat çekmenin satın alınabilir olgulara dönüştüğünü ve böylesi bir mecrada katılımcılık ve katılımcı kültür olanaklarının tüketildiğini ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca dijital emekçilerle tekel konumundaki sosyal medya şirketleri arasında toplumsal tabakalaşmanın yaratıldığı, buna neden en önemli unsurun da söz konusu şirketlerin tekelci hegemonik konumu olduğu düşünülmektedir.

UYGUR SORUNUNUN TÜRKİYE-ÇİN İLİŞKİLERİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: Alperen Ümit
Published: May 2024

Uygur sorunu, Türkiye ve Çin ilişkilerinin şekillenmesinde, tarafların birbirlerini algılamasında, etkileşim düzeylerinin artmasında, azalmasında ve ilişkilerinin kötüleşmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Türkiye, Uygurlarla etnik, kültürel, dini ve tarihsel bağları nedeniyle insan hakları bağlamında ilgilendiğini belirtirken, Çin ise Uygur sorununu egemenlik ve toprak bütünlüğü meselesi bağlamında ayrılıkçılık, terörizm ve radikalizm kapsamında değerlendirmektedir. Bu çerçevede Çin’in Uygur sorununa yaklaşımı küresel ve bölgesel düzeyde dönemsel olarak algıladığı tehdit düzeyine göre şekillendiği görülmektedir. Türkiye’nin Uygur sorununa yaklaşımı ise Pekin’in Uygurlara yönelik politikaları çerçevesinde daha çok etki ve tepki bağlamında şekillendiği görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla Uygur sorunundaki gerilimlere Türkiye’nin gösterdiği reaksiyonlar ikili ilişkileri de doğrudan etkileyebilmektedir. Son yıllarda Türkiye-Çin ilişkilerinin ekonomik ve politik olarak asimetrikleşmesinin de bir neticesi olarak Türkiye’nin bu reaksiyoner Uygur politikasının konjonktürel bir değişim geçirdiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, Uygur sorununun Türkiye-Çin ilişkilerini şekillenmesinde, tarafların birbirini algılamasında sürekli bir etkisinin olduğunu ve olacağını savunmaktadır. Bu makale, Uygur sorununun dönemsel olarak konjonktürel değişimler çerçevesinde Türkiye-Çin ilişkilerini nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir.
Una lección sobre la tradición liberal
Authors: Martínez de Pisón Cavero José María
Published: May 2024

El pensamiento liberal constituye una de las tradiciones de la filosofía política más importante de la actualidad. Surgida en Europa y América a partir del siglo XVII, ha impulsado las transformaciones políticas, sociales y económicas más relevantes en los últimos siglos. Además, tras el fin de la Guerra Fría, es para muchos la doctrina política imperante en el mundo. Sin embargo, no es una corriente tan homogénea como pudiera parecer como van a demostrar las páginas que vienen a continuación. A su vez, conviene tener presente que se ha ido enriqueciendo con el debate con otras doctrinas, particularmente, la socialista.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this study is to explain the implementation of ecotourism and the humanist (eco-humanist) perspective in the tourism space of Grand Maerakaca. This research has used qualitative methods to explore issues related to these concepts as implemented in Grand Maerakaca. Observations and interviews with tourists from various demographic segments were conducted to get information related to their ability to access ecotourism spaces. The results show that not all tourist providers in Grand Maerakaca implement the eco-humanist concept such as shown by the absence of local community participation and the empowerment of vulnerable groups. Besides, some tourist paths are inaccessible and dangerous for older tourists and children. Some of these are reasons why Grand Maerakaca is not attractive to tourists. The findings were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques to obtain a perspective related to ecohumanist implementation in Grand Maerakaca. The output of this research is to suggest forms of this implementation in tourist spaces in Grand Maerakaca that can accommodate all tourists and can increase tourist visits.

This study scrutinizes India’s growing appeal as a tourist destination, accentuated by government initiatives and innovative tourism policies like the e-visa program, Incredible India Campaign 2.0 and digital advancements in the travel sector. With the diminishing impact of COVID-19, there is a noticeable surge in various forms of tourism – inbound, outbound and domestic. The primary focus is to understand the driving factors behind the choice of India as a destination for inbound tourists. This research delves into these motivations, providing a global perspective on India’s attractiveness. A mixed-method approach was employed, utilizing convenience sampling for data collection. The quantitative analysis was based on a survey, informed by a literature review, comprising 390 respondents from 10 diverse Indian destinations. Additionally, 25 qualitative interviews were conducted, aiming to enrich and triangulate the quantitative findings. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed five predominant motivations among inbound tourists: culinary interests, spiritual pursuits, budget-consciousness, cultural curiosity and natural allure. These findings were substantiated through thematic analysis. The outcomes have significant practical ramifications for destination managers and tourism policy developers in India. By understanding these key motivators, they can devise targeted strategies for enhancing the appeal of India to these specific tourist segments. This study not only aids in refining tourism promotion efforts but also contributes to the academic discourse on tourist motivation offering a fresh international perspective on India’s image as a tourist destination.
Motywy i formy internacjonalizacji polskich start-upów
Authors: Majewski Marcin
Published: May 2024

Tło badawcze: W związku z szybkim rozwojem technologii zmieniają się możliwości wchodzenia na nowe rynki. Ma to swój wyraz w łatwości, z jaką nowe firmy wchodzą na nowe rynki. Narzędzia umożliwiające szybki transfer informacji sprawiły, że często pomijane są klasyczne etapy internacjonalizacji. Klasyczne modele internacjonalizacji są często krytykowane, nie oznacza to jednak, że nie powstają nowe modele internacjonalizacji. Biorąc pod uwagę znaczenie start-upów w gospodarce, warto przyjrzeć się temu, jak zachowują się na rynkach międzynarodowych.
Cel artykułu: Głównym celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na następujące pytania badawcze: Jakie formy ekspansji zagranicznej wybierają polskie start-upy? Jakie metody i narzędzia internacjonalizacji wybierają polskie start-upy w drodze do internacjonalizacji? Jakie są motywy internacjonalizacji polskich start-upów? Jakie są etapy internacjonalizacji polskich start-upów? Hipoteza badawcza brzmi następująco: najczęstszą formą internacjonalizacji polskich start-upów jest eksport.
Metody: W artykule zastosowano następujące metody: krytyczną analizę literatury, ankietę internetową, papierową i telefoniczną oraz wywiad pogłębiony CATI. Dane wykorzystane w artykule zostały zebrane przez autora. Badanie przeprowadzono na próbie 174 respondentów, a wywiad na próbie 23 respondentów. Badanie przeprowadzono w okresie od 10 stycznia 2021 r. do 7 stycznia 2023 r.
Wyniki i wartość dodana: Niniejsza praca jest pierwszym kompleksowym badaniem polskich start-upów skupiającym się na motywach, narzędziach, determinantach i możliwych etapach internacjonalizacji. Najczęstszymi motywami internacjonalizacji polskich startupów są motywy reaktywne. Przedsiębiorstwa wybierają eksport jako sposób na wejście na nowe rynki. Głównymi narzędziami wspierającymi internacjonalizację są profile w mediach społecznościowych prowadzone w języku obcym oraz sieć kontaktów złożona z osób z otoczenia przedsiębiorcy. Badania wykazały, że przedsiębiorstwa przechodzą określone etapy internacjonalizacji.
Język w przestrzeni multimedialnej. Przegląd zjawisk i literatury przedmiotu
Authors: Majdzińska-Koczorowicz Aleksandra
Published: May 2024

Przenikanie się kodów semiotycznych jest cechą charakterystyczną współczesnej komunikacji – tekst nakłada się na obraz, współistnieje obok dźwięku, ruchu, gestu. Synkretyczność i hybrydyzacja formy jest możliwa dzięki postępowi technologicznemu i nowym mediom. Niniejszy tekst ma charakter przeglądowy (rozważania dotyczą istniejących badań – typologii i związanej z nią terminologii) oraz ma na celu ukazanie języka na tle innych systemów semiotycznych w kontekście różnych form ekspresji obecnych w przestrzeni multimedialnej.
In dogs with thoracolumbar disc extrusion does the use of acupuncture improve clinical recovery?
Authors: Ng Justin
Published: May 2024

PICO QuestionIn dogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion does the use of acupuncture with medical management compared with medical management alone improve clinical recovery?
 
Clinical bottom line
Category of research
Treatment.
Number and type of study designs reviewed
Three papers were critically appraised: one randomised controlled trial, one non-randomised controlled trial, and one cohort study.
Strength of evidence
Moderate.
Outcomes reported
Acupuncture, and more specifically the combination of electroacupuncture and manual stimulation of acupuncture points when used as an adjunct to medical management, is more likely to result in both the recovery of ambulation and a quicker recovery of ambulation in dogs presenting with nonambulatory paraparesis or paralysis with deep pain perception due to thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion, compared with medical management alone. It is less likely to make a difference in dogs that present with paralysis and no pain sensation.
There is less robust evidence supporting the use of bee venom injections in acupoints, however; it too may have a beneficial effect when used as an adjunct treatment in dogs with nonambulatory paraparesis or paralysis with deep pain perception due to thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion, compared with medical management alone.
Conclusion
There is moderate evidence supporting the conclusion that there is a mild benefit in the use of acupuncture with medical management to improve the clinical recovery of dogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion.
 
How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.
