Authors: Moroney Jillian , Lininga Tamara , Brooks Randall
Published: June 2023

The Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance (NARA) is examining the feasibility of a woody biomass-to-biofuels supply chain in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. A part of the ongoing feasibility study involved conducting a survey of informed stakeholders on the use of woody biomass from forest residuals in producing sustainable bioenergy. Survey findings indicated that the more knowledgeable stakeholders considered themselves, the more supportive of biofuel-related activities they were. Also, survey respondents generally wanted to be able to obtain information on the topic on their own and at their own convenience, such as by accessing a website, and through face-to-face forums, where they could ask questions.

Extension Professionals' Perspectives on Supporting Feedstock Production for Biofuels: Concerns, Challenges, and Opportunities
Authors: Townsend Patricia , Haider Nora , Asah Stanley , Zobrist Kevin
Published: June 2023

The development of successful bioenergy programs will depend on informed and prepared Extension professionals who are willing and equipped to provide technical support. A survey of Extension professionals in the Pacific Northwest revealed barriers to program development, including limits on time and knowledge and concerns about economic returns for biofuel crops. Without the promise of market opportunities, Extension professionals may be unwilling to devote requisite resources to bioenergy programs. However, government policies and mandates make the rise of biofuels highly likely. Extension professionals should look to the future and consider blending bioenergy education into existing programs.
Analyzing the Implementation of Nutrient Management Plans by Farmers: Implications for Extension Education
Authors: Tao Haiying , Morris Thomas , Ureta Boris , Meinert Richard
Published: June 2023

We conducted case studies on four Connecticut dairy farms to evaluate how well farmers implemented their nutrient management plans (NMPs). Our findings can help Extension educators develop programs to improve NMPs and NMP adoption by farmers. We identified three educational topic areas that would likely increase NMP understanding and acceptance: (a) soil testing protocol, results interpretation, and nutrient recommendations; (b) manure fertilizer-equivalent value, proper application, and effective distribution; and (c) costs and benefits of substituting on-farm manure for purchased commercial fertilizer. A new adaptive nutrient management program presents a timely opportunity for cost-effective and collaborative on-farm education efforts by Extension and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Published: June 2023

Çalışma, Takiyüddîn Ali es-Sübkî’nin talak özelinde İbn Teymiyye’ ye yönelttiği eleştirileri konu edinmektedir. Sözü geçen zatlar, aynı dönemde yaşamış, aynı ilim havzasından beslenmişlerdir. Takiyüddîn Ali, Mısır ve Şâm bölgesinde idâri, kazâi görevler üstlenmiş, farklı medreselerde dersler vererek Şâfii ulema arasında önemli yer edinmiştir. İbn Teymiyye ise daha çok tedris, irşad faaliyetlerine yoğunlaşmış, Hanbeli mezhebinin seçkin savunucularından biri olmuştur. Takiyüddîn Ali, İslam’ın geleneksel çizgisinin muhafazasından yana tavır alırken İbn Teymiyye bu çizgiye yönelttiği eleştirilerle dikkat çekmiştir. İbn Teymiyye’ye yöneltilen eleştiriler, o günün ilmî, fikrî yapısı ve seviyesine ışık tutması bakımından önemlidir. Takiyüddîn Ali’nin, mevzuyla ilgili eleştirileri üç başlıkta toplanabilir. Bunlar; aynı anda/mekânda verilen üç talakın bir talak sayılıp sayılmayacağı, bid’î talakın nâfiz olup olmadığı ve ta‘liki talakın sadece kefaret gerektirip gerektirmediğiyle ilgili hususlardır. Çalışmanın amacı Takiyüddîn Ali’nin İbn Teymiyye’ye eleştiri yöneltirken kullandığı delilleri ve bunların gerekçelerini tespit ederek alana katkı sunmaktır.
Doğuşundan Ölümüne, Yok Oluşundan Dirilişine Yazar Figürünün Tarihsel Değişimi
Authors: KOÇ Nesrin
Published: June 2023

Yazar figürü varlığı ve yokluğu etrafında şekillenen tartışmalar ile tarih boyunca edebiyatta önemli bir yer tutmuştur. Şüphesiz, bu tartışmaların en bilindik örneklerinden biri de Roland Barthes’ın “Yazarın Ölümü” denemesidir. Barthes’ın metni yaratan yazardan ziyade metnin kendisine yaptığı vurgu, metin okuma biçimlerini de kökten bir değişikliğe uğratmış, yazara karşı eleştirel bir tutum takınmış olan edebi teorilerin yaygın olarak benimsenmesi ile yazar metnin gerisine itilmiştir. Yine de yazar edebiyat dünyasında yazan kişi, yazman, karakter, Foucault açısından bir “işlev” ya da Barthes’ın deyimiyle “halıdaki figür” de olsa varlığını sürdürmeye devam etmiştir. Postmodernizm ve post-postmodernizm ise “ölmüş” olan yazarı yeniden ön plana çıkarmıştır. Postmodernizm ve sonrasındaki dönem değerlendirildiğinde postmodern ironinin yerini post-postmodern içtenliğin, yapısökümün yerini ise yeniden yapılandırmacı yöntemin almasıyla yazar algısında bir değişim yaşandığı söylenebilir. Bu çalışma, yazarın doğuşu, ölümü ve yeniden dirilişi bağlamında tarih boyunca yazar tanımının geçirdiği değişimleri ele alarak yazarlık ve otorite arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir.

Published: June 2023

1920lerin Yahudi karşıtlığı Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde yaşayan Yahudi Amerikalıların eşit vatandaşlar olarak statülerini etkilemiştir. Bu makale, artan Yahudi karşıtlığının oluşturduğu gerginlik döneminde basılan Anzia Yezierska’nın Bread Givers (1925/1999) ve Ludwig Lewisohn’un The Island Within (1928) eserlerinde Yahudi göçmenin etnik habitusundan Amerikanlaşmaya giden yolculuğunu incelemektedir. Yezierska ve Lewisohn, ana karakterlerin habituslarının birer Yahudi Amerikalı olarak kimliklerini nasıl biçimlendirdiğini göstermektedirler. Bourdieu’nün sosyolojik habitus kavramı bir bireyin kişiliği ve zevklerinin habitusunun yerleşmiş yapılarıyla ilişkili olarak biçimlendirildiğine ve bu habitusun bilinç dışı bir biçimde içselleştirildiğine işaret eder. Bread Givers eserinden Sara Smolinsky ile The Island Within eserinden Arthur Levy, asimile olamayacağı düşünülen Yahudilerin Amerikan değerlerine bir tehdit olarak algılandığı bir toplumda içselleştirilmiş Yahudiliklerini korumaya çalışmaktadırlar. Bu makale Pierre Bourdieu’nün habitus üzerine görüşlerinin yanısıra Jean Phinney’nin etnik kimlik oluşumu modelini ilk tartışma noktası olarak almakta ve Phinney’nin modelini bu eserlerdeki Yahudi karakterlerin kimlik oluşumunun son evresi hakkında tartışmak için geliştirmektedir. Phinney’nin savına göre etnik özne, etnik kimliği ve çoğunluğu oluşturan grubun kimliği arasında bir uzlaşmaya varır. Fakat bu makalede Sara ve Arthur’un etnik kimlik oluşumlarının son evresinde, habitusun deterministik tavrına karşı öznellikle hareket etmelerine ve kimliklerini geri kazanmalarına olanak sağlayan sekteye uğramış bir uzlaşmaya vardıkları öne sürülmektedir.

Authors: الشرعي محمد مسعد أحمد
Published: June 2023

تناول البحث دراسة ثلاثة نقوش سبئية صخرية جديدة, مدونة بخط المسند, عثر عليها حديثًا في موقع جبل العرق (قرية الحنية) في مديرية الحدأ (محافظة ذمار), وقد قام الباحث بدراسة الجانب اللغوي للألفاظ, ومقارنتها, ودراسة الأسماء الواردة ومقارنتها بالأسماء المعروفة في النقوش اليمنية القديمة, وقد حملت الثلاثة النقوش موضوعًا واحدًا, وهو الموضوع الحربي, حيث قام أصحابها بخوض حرب ضد الحميريين, وكانت نتائج الدراسة لتلك النقوش هو تأكيد الصراع السبئي الحميري في تلك المنطقة, وتوصل البحث إلى أن الإنسان اليمني كان حريصًا على تدوين وتوثيق نقوشه التذكارية ذات الموضوعات العامة, أو الشخصية ويستدل من النقش (الشيباني جبل العرق1) أن قبيلة قشم التابعة للشعب ذمري كانت تتبع مملكة سبأ وشاركت في محاربة الحميريين في فترة تاريخ هذه النقوش. ويمثل موقع النقوش جبل العرق أهم المعسكرات السبئية، في مواجهة الحميريين. وأكدت النقوش الصراع السبئي الحميري الذي دام عدة قرون. كما يستدل أيضًا على أن المنطقة الشمالية، والشمالية الشرقية لمديرية الحدأ (حاليًا) تمثل بؤرة الصراع والحد الفاصل بين مملكة سبأ والحميريين (الريدانيين) في تلك المدة.

Authors: المخلافي عارف أحمد إسماعيل
Published: June 2023

يهدف البحث إلى دراسة المنهج والفكر التاريخي اللذين يعدان من أكثر الكتابات تجددًا؛ يحركهما التنافس بين المفكرين والباحثين على تجديد الفكر واستخلاص النظريات الخاصة بالكتابة التاريخية. وكذلك محاولة إيجاد مصطلح جامع للنتاج الفكري لعلماء المسلمين يضعها من جديد على قدم المساواة مع نتاج الفكر العالمي. وقد قسم إلى محورين رئيسين وعلى النحو الآتي: المحور الأول: الاتجاهات الجديدة لقراءة التاريخ وكتابته. المحور الثاني: التاريخ المتجدد، مصطلح جديد لتأطير النتاج الفكري للمسلمين، وتوصل إلى جملة نتائج من أهمها: أولًا: أن البحث خرج بمصطلح جديد مرتبط بنتاج المسلمين الفكري وهو مصطلح "التاريخ المتجدد". ثانيًا: أن ما قدمه التاريخ الجديد بكل صوره لا يتفق في الغالب مع التاريخ كسيرة ذاتية للإنسان منذ أن خلقه الله. فالوثيقة ملازمة للكتابة، والعقل ملازم للدقة، وبدونهما يكون التاريخ مجرد قصة متخيلة.

Objective: Lisfranc injuries are found in various injury patterns, especially in athletes. These injuries are the second most common type of foot injuries in athletes. However, the treatment decision differs and is essential in athletes for a good outcome. The main controversies in surgical management include whether to execute open or close reduction, fixation technique, and arthrodesis’ role in athletes.
Case Report: A previously healthy 21 Years Old Malay gentleman sustained a sports injury diagnosed with pure ligamentous Lisfranc injury with an incomplete, partial lateral dislocation. The patient was treated with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) using a dorsal bridge Lisfranc locking plate.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to achieving stability in unstable Lisfranc injuries. Anatomical reduction and Lisfranc joint restoration are the keys to a good outcome. Open reduction and internal fixation are preferred methods where most athletes can return to their previous level of sports.
Evaluation of Distal Occlusions accompanying Punctal Stenosis using Radionuclide Imaging in patients with Unilateral Epiphora
Authors: Ceylan Sule , Yilmaz Necati
Published: June 2023

Objective: Our objective was to evaluate distal occlusions accompanying punctal stenosis, which can lead to impaired nasolacrimal drainage in patients with punctal stenosis, using radionuclide imaging.
Material and Methods: Our study enrolled 42 patients who had unilateral punctal stenosis and experienced epiphora on the same side. None of the patients had previously undergone surgical intervention for this condition. Ophthalmological examination results were normal on the unaffected side. Dacryoscintigraphy was performed bilaterally, and specific regions of interest were identified. The scintigraphic images were assessed quantitatively and qualitatively by two nuclear medicine specialists. Evaluation between the nuclear medicine specialists was conducted using the McNemar Bowker test and the Kappa test.
Results: Eighty-one percent (34) of the patients were female. The mean age of the patients was 68.23±9.67 years. In patients with punctal stenosis, the punctal area exhibited edematous features. The lacrimal drainage pathway from the punctum was assessed by two nuclear medicine specialists using two different methods. In the visual quantitative evaluation to determine the localization of the stenosis, there was a low to moderate agreement between the two observers (p=0.018, kappa value=0.252). In the quantitative evaluation, there was excellent agreement between the observers (p=0.0001, kappa value=1).
Conclusion: Dacryoscintigraphy is preferred as an imaging method due to its non-invasive nature that does not disturb the physiological processes. It offers advantages such as lower radiation exposure and higher patient compliance compared to dacryocystography. However, it should be noted that the anatomical correlation in dacryoscintigraphy is relatively low compared to radiological methods. By incorporating quantitative data into the visual assessment of dacryoscintigraphy, it may be possible to enhance anatomical correlation and improve observer agreement, particularly in patients presenting with a combination of functional and anatomical obstructions.

Authors: Mahammad Rezan Hassan
Published: June 2023

The Birth abnormalities or congenital malformations can emerge during the fetal development stage or from a parent's genetic composition. The main contributors to neonatal and childhood disease and impairment are congenital abnormalities. Increase the observation of congenital anomaly (CA) in Mama Village that belong to Kirkuk city has been made with information about frequency and nature of these abnormalities.
This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of congenital anomaly in Mama Village that belong to Kirkuk city.
A Cross sectional study that includes 60 couples who are living in Mama Village for the duration from March 2020 to March 2022 to investigate the risk of congenital anomaly that increases in frequency in 2019. The data was collected by direct interview of the participants and took a full history of the performing ultrasonography.
The highest prevalence of CA that reach 55%, 96.7% of participant were cousin. Nearly two third of participant had single anomaly. Central nervous system anomaly was the most prevalent anomaly in the current study, and hydrocephalous was presented in 18.3% of them. Young age group mother, cousin marriage and history of infant death were a risk factor for CA.
It is concluded that a higher prevalence of congenital anomaly in the current study especially when compared with the number of area population. The central nervous system was more probable which shown to be substantially correlated with maternal history of prior previous child death, paternal consanguinity, and age. Higher prevalence of central nervous system could be related to the environment effect which is (weapon-related) occur in the studied area previously.
Key words: Congenital anomaly, cousin marriage, weapon explosion.
