Authors: Jumriani Jumriani , Putri Andi Dian Fitriana Eka , Muhtar Muhtar , Ophir Yotam
Published: December 2024

This study explores the Mahpangngolo tradition, a ceremonial procession integral to celebrations among the people of Enrekang, Indonesia. The tradition symbolizes community participation and reinforces values of politeness and respect. However, younger generations are increasingly disengaged from such cultural practices, threatening their preservation. An ethnographic communication approach was employed, involving observations, interviews, and documentation. Dell Hymes' SPEAKING model (Situation, Participants, Ends, Act Sequence, Key, Instrumentalities, Norms, Genres) served as the analytical framework for understanding the communicative dimensions of Mahpangngolo. The Mahpangngolo procession emphasizes the symbolic exchange of gifts between guests and hosts. This act is marked by the use of formal and polite language, reflecting mutual respect and community cohesion. Specific expressions by guest representatives and celebration family members underscore the cultural significance of respect and politeness. The findings highlight the Mahpangngolo tradition as a medium for transmitting core values of Indonesian society. Addressing the indifference of younger generations requires initiatives to promote cultural understanding and appreciation. The Mahpangngolo tradition embodies politeness and respect, core values that strengthen communal bonds. Efforts to preserve and promote these traditions are vital for maintaining cultural heritage.

Published: December 2024

Mathematical word problem-solving ability is important for academic success and future career opportunities. While teaching approaches focusing on word problem-solving have shown promise, the mechanisms driving their effectiveness, particularly the roles of self-regulated learning (SRL) and motivation, remain unclear. This study investigates the moderated mediation effects of motivation on word problem-solving abilities through SRL. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 123 eighth-grade Indonesian students, divided into four classes. Two classes received word problem-solving instruction, while the others followed standard problem-solving instruction. Students' problem-solving abilities, SRL, and motivation were assessed before and after the intervention. Using the PROCESS Macro, we evaluated simple and moderated mediation effects. The findings revealed that the word problem-solving intervention significantly enhanced SRL, which in turn improved problem-solving abilities, particularly among intrinsically motivated students. This effect was not observed in extrinsically motivated students. This study provides a novel exploration of SRL as a mediator and motivation as a moderator in educational interventions, offering a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying successful problem-solving. It provides valuable insights for educational practitioners, emphasizing the importance of SRL and intrinsic motivation in promoting effective and equitable problem-solving skills.
ALİ ŞERİATİ’NİN İRAN DEVRİMİ’NE ETKİSİ
Authors: Kaya Mehmet
Published: December 2024

İran’ın yakın tarihte geçirmiş olduğu sosyal ve siyasal dönüşümlerin arka planında, kanlı bir devrim sürecinin etkisi olduğu muhakkaktır. İktidar sahiplerinin halkı ötekileştirdiği ve yoksullaştırdığı despotik düzene karşı, domino etkisi ile büyüyen bir halk hareketini meydana getirmiştir. İran’da 1979’da Pehlevi iktidarı, geniş bir muhalif kitle tarafından yıkılarak monarşi devrini kapatmıştır. Bu devrim ateşini yakanlardan biri olan Ali Şeriati, kalemi ve hitabeti ile kitlelere cesaret aşılamış ve kısa sürede sokaklarda onun sloganları duyulmuştur. Ali Şeriati, 1960 ve 1970’lerde İran’daki devrimci gençlik için umut kaynağı olmuştur. Halka açık olarak verdiği konferanslar ve yazdığı eserler günden güne artan takipçileri arasında büyük yankı uyandırmıştır. Şah despotizmi altında ezilen mazlumları, Peygamber ailesi ve dostlarının örnek yaşantılarını anlatarak etkilemiştir. Ali veya Safevi Şiiliği adını verdiği iyi ile kötünün tanımının yine Şeriati’nin kaleminden döküldüğü görülmüştür. Şeriati’nin sıklıkla vurguladığı sosyal adaletsizlik, kültürel sömürü, siyasi baskı ve Batı emperyalizmi gibi sorunlar, İran halkının yüzyıllardan beri yaşadığı adaletsizlikleri de gün yüzüne çıkarmıştır. Ali Şeriati’nin fikirleri devrime giden süreçte geniş kitleleri önüne katarak bir çığ gibi büyümüştür. Bu durum rejim tarafından bir tehdit olarak algılanmıştır. Ali Şeriati yaptığı konuşmaları ve yazdıkları ile Şah rejiminin baskısına uğrayınca 1977’de Londra’ya kaçmış ve oradayken 44 yaşında hayatını kaybetmiştir. 1979 yılında başarıya ulaşan devrim hareketini göremese de Şeriati’nin bu sonuç üzerinde büyük bir payı olduğu aşikardır.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. Infertility is a serious problem of modern medicine, affecting 15% of couples worldwide. In 25- 87% of cases, the male factor of infertility is mediated by oxidative stress. An effective way to eliminate oxidative stress is the use of antioxidant supplements. To date, the question remains open about the effect of combined drugs – which components and in what proportions can provide the optimal therapeutic effect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the «Speroton» and «Sinergin» complexes separately and in combination with each other on bulk semen analysis parameters and accessory spermiological tests. The patient was asymptomatic and the lesion was accidental finding on the CT scan.

Materials and methods. The study included 90 patients, whose ages ranged from 25 to 45. In the first group, 30 patients received «Speroton» 1 sachet per day for 3 months, in the second group, 30 patients received «Sinergin» 2 capsules per day for 3 months, in the third group, 30 patients received both drugs at the prescribed dosage. At the time of inclusion in the study and after 3 months of therapy, patients underwent a semen analysis, an assessment of the index of sperm DNA fragmentation and the level of generation of reactive oxygen species.

Results. In patients taking «Speroton», a moderate positive effect was observed with respect to sperm concentration, an increase in sperm motility was noted, as well as a significant decrease in the generation of reactive oxygen species and, accordingly, the DNA fragmentation index. The «Sinergin» complex in the form of monotherapy led to a moderate increase in sperm concentration and motility, but had practically no effect on the results of additional functional tests. Combination therapy («Speroton» and «Sinergin») surpassed both types of monotherapy in terms of its effect on the number of spermatozoa (the average increased from 62.4 million to 100 million), the total number of motile spermatozoa (from 11.38 million to 34 million), the DNA fragmentation index (from 21% to 7%) and the level of generation of reactive oxygen species (from 66.09 mV to 17.64 mV).

Conclusion. Antioxidant complexes have a positive effect on various spermological parameters. The combination of «Speroton» and «Sinergin» has the most pronounced effect on the intensity of oxidative stress and the index of fragmentation of sperm DNA, as well as on the basic parameters of the spermogram.

Goals and objectives. To evaluate the possibility of residual urine verification in the process of uroflowmetric monitoring (UFM) using an innovative domestic uroflowmetric complex «Sigma».

Patients and methods. Under our observation was a group of patients observed with the diagnosis of «benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)» in the centre «Urinary Pathology», Vladivostok. The mean age in the group (36 cases) was 60,5+ 8,2 years, ranging from 50 to 73 years. The duration of therapy ranged from 2 to 24 months, with an average of 8,4 + 5,5 months.

Results. Using the method of mathematical statistics X2 it was shown that the domestic uroflowmetric complex «Sigma» allows to reliably determine residual urine in the process of uroflowmetric monitoring, in addition to this the connection between the symptom of incomplete emptying of the bladder, according to the IPSS questionnaire, and residual urine recorded with the help of uroflowmetric complex was refuted. As a result of alpha-1-adrenoblocker treatment, there was a significant reduction in the severity of clinical symptoms and levelling of lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Conclusion. In this study it was proved that the determination of residual urine with the help of domestic uroflowmetric complex «Sigma» is possible. This was verified with a high degree of reliability by ultrasound examination of residual urine volume. It was confirmed that the use of alpha-1-adrenoblockers can statistically significantly reduce the incidence of residual urine formation. In addition, alpha1-adrenoblocker administration has been shown to reduce both irritative and obstructive symptoms of urinary disorders.

Unbalanced structural Y chromosome abnormalities and pathogenic Y chromosome microdeletions are common genetic cause of severe male infertility due to spermatogenesis damage. Sex chromosomes (gonosomes) abnormalities are often associated with mosaicism the presence and percentage of gonosomal mosaicism may modify the damage of the negative effect of sex chromosome abnormalities and X- and Y-linked mutations. The combined effect of structural abnormalities and mosaicism of the Y chromosome on male fertility and semen parameters has not been sufficiently studied. The aim of the study was the analysis of the spermatological and genetic examination in mosaic patients with/or without structural abnormalities of the Y chromosome to evaluate the spermatogenesis and meiosis defects.

Material and methods. A group of 40 men aged 31±7 (from 16 to 49) years was examined, mosaicism and/or structural abnormalities/variants of the Y chromosome were found in the karyotype of patients. The karyotype detected on the results of a standard cytogenetic study (on cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes), a FISH study with DNA probes for X and Y chromosomes was additionally performed. The presence/absence of Y-specific sequences (SRY and AZFa,b,c loci) was determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. A standard spermiological examination was performed according to the WHO Laboratory Manual, quantitative karyological analysis (QKA) of immature germ cells (IGCs) was performed in 12 patients.

Results. Y chromosome mosaicism was found in 29 (72.5%) patients. Pathogenic AZF microdeletions (AZFa+b+c, n=3; AZFb+c, n=19; AZFc, n=3) were detected in 25 (62.5%) men, 17 of them had the Y chromosome mosaicism. Non-obstructive azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia were found in 88% and 12% of men with AZF deletions, and without AZF deletions in 47% and 20% of patients, respectively. Normozoospermia and mild forms of pathozoospermia were revealed in patients without AZF deletions. Only severe forms of spermatogenesis defects were found in all men with Yq11.2 deletions, ring and pseudodicentric Y chromosomes. QKA of IGCs revealed cryptozoospermia in 7 out of 10 azoospermic patients (according to semen analyses data) and signs of a partial meiotic arrest of spermatogenesis at pachytene and/or at the pre-pachytene stages of prophase I of meiosis.

Conclusion. In patients with mosaicism and/or structural abnormalities of the Y chromosome, the spermatogenesis disorders vary from their absence to their severe forms. The severity of the spermatogenesis depletion depends on structural anomalies and Yq11.2(AZF) deletions, their type, and the breakpoints location, the additional pathogenic factors. Gonosomal mosaicism is an additional pathogenic factor affected fertility that can increase genetic and phenotypic changes.

Authors: Nazarov T. Kh. , Madumarov D. N.
Published: December 2024

Background. The choice of treatments should be based on the impact on the psychological, functional, social and economic lives of patients. According to the 2023 European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines, transurethral cystolithotripsy is safe and effective, but is associated with an increased complication rate and operating time for large stones. Suprapubic percutaneous cystolithotripsy is a minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of bladder stones and obstructive causes of their formation. Cystolithiasis and its treatment significantly affect the quality of life (QoL) of patients, which is important to evaluate in patients with bladder stones and bladder outlet obstruction after percutaneous and transurethral cystolithotripsy.

Aim of the study: to compare health-related quality of life after surgery with transurethral cystolithotripsy with litholapaxy (TUC) and percutaneous suprapubic cystolithotripsy (PCCL) and to evaluate factors influencing quality of life in patients with urolithiasis.

Material and methods. A total of 85 patients who suffered from cystolithiasis secondary to bladder outlet obstruction and underwent surgical treatment (the main group was percutaneous puncture cystolithotripsy, n = 40; the control group was transurethral cystolithotripsy, n = 45). All patients were administered the Short-Form 36-item survey (SF-36) and Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS) to assess health-related quality of life at four timepoints: before and after surgery, 1 week after, and 1 month after lithotripsy. Stone-free rates, complications, and analgesic requirements were evaluated to compare the effects of the two procedures on HRQoL.

Results. After treatment, in the main group there was a statistically significant decrease in the level of pain on the VAS scale compared to the control group (p < 0.05). According to the SF-36 questionnaire, statistically significant differences in the physical and psychological functioning of patients in different study groups were also revealed (p < 0.05), which confirms the effectiveness of the treatment used in the main group.

Conclusion. Quality of life after lithotripsy was higher in PCCL compared with TUC in the dynamics of the study. The presence of postoperative complications and greater postoperative pain appeared to be determinants of lower quality of life in the TUC group.

Published: December 2024

The study explores analyzing complex biomolecules is essential for advancing our understanding of biological systems and their role in health and disease. This abstract provides an overview of analytical techniques used to characterize the composition and structure of these intricate biomolecules. One crucial technique is mass spectrometry, which enables the precise determination of a biomolecule's molecular weight and the identification of its constituent atoms and functional groups. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) are commonly employed for this purpose. These methods are particularly useful for analyzing proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is another indispensable tool for characterizing biomolecular structures. It provides atomic-level insights into three-dimensional structures, dynamics, and interactions. By measuring chemical shifts and coupling constants, NMR allows researchers to deduce the connectivity and conformation of complex biomolecules. X-ray crystallography, although mainly applied to proteins and larger biomolecules, provides high-resolution structural information. It involves the formation of crystalline structures that diffract X-rays, yielding detailed atomic structures. Electron microscopy, including cry-electron microscopy (cry-EM), is pivotal for visualizing macromolecular complexes and subcellular structures. It offers structural information at nanometre to near-atomic resolution, enabling the study of protein-protein interactions and organelle architecture. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy are employed to probe biomolecule secondary structures, such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets, based on their unique vibrational and optical properties. These analytical techniques, when used in combination, provide a comprehensive view of the composition, conformation, and interactions of complex biomolecules. Their integration advances our understanding of fundamental biological processes and facilitates drug discovery and the development of therapeutic interventions.

Araştırma bulgularına göre coğrafya etiği içerisinde en popüler olanı çevre etiğidir. Sosyal etik ise olması gerektiği konumundan hayli uzaktadır. Müfredatlarda, bölüm derslerinde geoetiğe yeterince önem verilmemekle birlikte önem verilen yerlerde ise genellikle çevre etiği lehine bir eşitsizlik söz konusudur. Araştırmaya katılan coğrafya öğretmenleri tarafından coğrafya etiğinde en fazla çevre etiğinin ön plana çıkması ve çevre ile ilgili davranışların öğrencilere kazandırılması gerektiği, tüm bunları yaparken somut bir öğrenmenin gerçekleşmesine ihtiyaç olduğu ifade edilmiştir.

This research was carried out to investigate the effects of different application levels of cattle dung, cattle dung biochar, and NPK on the yield and oil content of sunflower. Two field experiments were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Ilorin, using split plot arrangement within a randomized complete block designs (RCBD) and replicated three times. The main plots contained nutrient sources (cattle dung and cattle dung biochar), while sub-plots contained varying levels (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 Mgha⁻¹ and NPK 300 kgha⁻¹), resulting in 12 treatment combinations. Cattle dung and cattle dung biochar significantly enhanced yield parameters and oil content compared to control. Biochar performed better than cattle dung but mostly not significantly, interaction effects were also not significant. Plots that received 20 Mgha-1 had the highest values for oil content (49.36% and 52.05%), number of seeds per head (929.79, 969.44), yield per plot (3127.96g, 3193.05g), yield per hectare (1251.18kg, 1277.22), and the fastest days to 50% flowering (82.70, 86.54); 15 Mgha-1 had the highest flower head diameter (204.75mm, 220.09mm), while NPK had the highest 1000 seed weight (71.04g, 80.38g). Control consistently had lower values than the averages recorded for the treatments. Both cattle dung and biochar improved seed production without compromising seed size and weight, highlighting their potential as environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical fertilizers.
Una conflicto abierto. Controversias y nuevas perspectivas sobre la Guerra de la Independencia
Authors: Carantoña Álvarez Francisco
Published: December 2024

Con la Guerra de la Independencia comienza en España el fin del Antiguo Régimen y se produce el inicio de la revolución liberal. Una etapa de ruptura, que supone también la crisis del imperio colonial y el nacimiento de nuevas naciones en la América hispana. Conflicto de múltiples vertientes, muchas de sus secuelas condicionarán la historia posterior. Desde su origen ha sido analizado con perspectivas diversas y ha dado lugar a controversias historiográficas y políticas. Sin tratarse de un ensayo historiográfico, en este artículo se abordan algunas de las aportaciones de la producción historiográfica más reciente, que se vio estimulada por la celebración del segundo centenario, y se profundiza en cuatro aspectos clave: las causas del levantamiento; el papel de la guerra en el surgimiento de la moderna nación española; el carácter revolucionario o contrarrevolucionario del proceso político abierto en 1808; la dimensión de guerra popular y el fenómeno de la guerrilla; y, por último, el proyecto político bonapartista, la cuestión de los afrancesados y la colaboración de un sector de la sociedad con el invasor.
Una resistencia diferente. Los italianos frente a la invasión francesa
Authors: Scotti Douglas Vittorio
Published: December 2024

El artículo pretende ofrecer una visión sintética del fenómeno de resistencia a los franceses en la década 1796-1806, que en Italia se llamó con el nombre colectivo de «insorgenze». Se examinan las diferentes tesis historiográficas, y se niega la idea de un movimiento global organizado, pues las revueltas fueron todas locales y sin previo acuerdo, y se manifestaron sólo como reacción a las pesadas exacciones y robos de las tropas francesas.
Se analizan después los hechos, distinguiendo entre el periodo 1796-1799, y el posterior, cuando cambia de manera radical la estructura política en Italia, con el nacimiento del Reino de Italia.
Se hacen también notar las diferencias entre las «insorgenze» en la Italia del centro-sur y las que ocurrieron en el norte de la Península, subrayando además como lo que pasó en Calabria escapa de la definición de revuelta y pueda más bien considerarse una guerra con profundo sentido de conflicto de clase.
Por último se exponen las motivaciones de la resistencia, llegando a la conclusión que estaban principalmente arraigadas por un lado en el recelo y temor de las novedades por parte de los moradores del campo, y por otro en la profunda crisis de subsistencia y en el verdadero estado de miseria en que vivían los campesinos.
Cabarrús, O'Farrill y Arribas: tres ministros del rey José bajo la mirada del conde de La Forest, embajador de Francia
Authors: Aymes Jean-René
Published: December 2024

El examen de los centenares de informes mandados a París por el embajador francés en Madrid entre 1808 y 1813 permite descubrir la variedad de opiniones y sentimientos, desde el recelo hasta el desprecio y la animadversión, que le merecen los ministros josefinos, así como su convicción de que éstos se valen del rey para oponerse a las miras y directrices del Emperador. El observador actual puede estar persuadido de que esos colaboradores del soberano, en particular el trío Cabarrús-Azanza-O’Farrill, son patriotas a su manera y partidarios, no de la represión brutal practicada por los altos mandos imperiales, sino de medidas suaves y de la clemencia para conseguir la restauración de la paz.
Guerrilleros, bandidos, aventureros y comisarios
Authors: Esdaile Charles
Published: December 2024

Este artículo presenta la historia personal de John Downie, un comisario escocés en el ejército peninsular del Duque de Wellington, que anteriormente había luchado en Venezuela con Francisco de Miranda, que se convirtió en un general español y terminó su vida, en 1825, como campeón del servilismo. La importancia de esta historia estriba, en primer lugar, en el ejemplo que nos presenta de la importancia del aventurerismo en la época napoleónica, y, en segundo, en las sugerencias que contiene respecto a los defectos manifiestos del liberalismo decimonónico español.
Ante la "marcha al pueblo". El último gobierno de la Unión Liberal en Alicante, 1863-1866
Authors: Díaz Marín Pedro , Millán y García-Varela Jesús
Published: December 2024

Un problema fundamental del liberalismo español fue su dificultad para integrar sus diversas corrientes. Hasta un periodo bastante tardío, en el último tercio del siglo XIX, esta situación condujo a levantamientos populares, promovidos por políticos burgueses y militares, que a menudo incluían un llamamiento para volver a fundar constitucionalmente el Estado nacional en España. Este artículo aborda el problema del atractivo popular de este liberalismo, parcialmente burgués y elitista, a partir de una investigación sobre la provincia de Alicante, en el sur del País Valenciano. En primer lugar, se estudian las medidas adoptadas por el último gobierno de la «Unión Liberal» para integrar a los progresistas en la vida política. En segundo lugar, el trabajo destaca el rechazo hacia esta política por parte de progresistas y republicanos, así como su convencimiento de que, no obstante, los criterios burgueses que mantenían, era preciso un levantamiento democrático si se quería salvar la libertad en España.
Las tensiones de los primeros meses del exilio republicano comunista, febrero-septiembre de 1939
Authors: Puigsech Farràs Josep
Published: December 2024

El devenir de los primeros meses del exilio republicano comunista tras la conquista de Cataluña por parte de las tropas del general Franco en febrero de 1939, se convierte en el objetivo de las siguientes líneas. Los materiales procedentes de los archivos de la extinta Unión Soviética, así como los diferentes fondos existentes en el Estado español, permiten reconstruir con interesante precisión novedosos aspectos del proceso de supervivencia que tuvieron que afrontar los comunistas españoles al pisar suelo francés. La desorganización y el desamparo, así como la división y el enfrentamiento interno, fueron las características predominantes durante esos días. La introducción de un nuevo marco geopolítico semanas después, con el desplazamiento de la cúpula directiva del comunismo español a la Unión Soviética, empezó a aplacarlo. Su cenit se alcanzó durante el verano de 1939. Por un lado, el movimiento comunista español definió su política ante el exilio y el régimen franquista. Y, por otro, llegó a tener dos secciones oficiales dentro de la Internacional Comunista, convirtiéndose así en una original excepción dentro del movimiento comunista internacional. Además, zanjó las responsabilidades sobre la derrota republicana en el nordeste peninsular, a través de un proceso de debate interno y autocrítica inducida.
El primer republicanismo español revisitado
Authors: Serrano García Rafael
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se trata de examinar, a través del análisis de dos libros recientemente publicados de Román Miguel y Florencia Peyrou, el estado de los conocimientos en torno al republicanismo en la etapa en que nació y se consolidó este movimiento en España, desde 1840 hasta 1875 aproximadamente. Dicho análisis, centrado principalmente en los discursos, pero también en la evolución organizativa de las distintas formaciones políticas que se titularon demócratas o republicanos, ha permitido apreciar con mayor rigor las diferentes corrientes, a menudo enfrentadas, que surgieron en su seno. Y también la crisis con la que se cerró la experiencia de la I República, en 1873. Esta bibliografía reciente sitúa el conocimiento del primer ciclo republicano español, muy por encima del nivel de conocimientos que aportaban las monografías clásicas sobre el tema, básicamente, las de C.A.M. Hennessy y A. Eiras Roel.
