Ordnungspolitische Weichenstellungen für die anstehende Reform der Riester-Rente
Authors: Kleinlein Axel
Published: January 2021

The Riester pensions today face two main problems: First, life insurance industry in Germany faces the problem of inadequate solvency. Therefore, there is a need that we take the Riester pension not as a sole part of the life insurance sector and open it to the whole sector of financial services.

Second, the previous regulation of the Riester pension is causing problems. Particularly the guarantee forces mandatory retirement with a life insurance company and the requirement of capital preservation. Therefore we have to review these two guarantee aspects. It is also important to limit costs and to simplify the funding system.

The concept of the “Basisdepot-Vorsorge” solves these problems while it is based on promoting precisely those who want to save up for their retirement during their active career, no matter what kind of financial service is included in the accumulation or decumulation phase. To include all different financial service providers creates the needed economical competition to ensure better products for the Riester-Rente.

Published: January 2021

In this study, the chemical composition, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer effects of Thymus convolutus Klokov oil and its main compound camphor were investigated. The oil was isolated from T. convolutus using hydrodistillation method, analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and 66 compounds were identified. The main component was determined as camphor at 16.6%. The antioxidant properties were identified with the DPPH (2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging method and, 33.39 ± 0.25% DPPH was scavenging in 1000 μg/mL of essential oil. The strong antimicrobial activity was observed against Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Proteus vulgaris, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with MIC values of 125 μg/mL. Aspergillus flavus was more sensitive (28%) against T. convolutus essential oil than other fungi. The cytotoxic effect of oil was analyzed by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method. Camphor was effective on human hepatoma cells (Hep3B) at concentrations of 1 mg/mL, 500, 250, and 125 μg/mL, while essential oil of T. convolutus was found to be effective at concentrations of 250 and 125 μg/mL. A reduction in cell proliferation was observed in colon carcinoma cells (HT-29) treated with 500 μg/mL camphor for 48 h. No statistically significant effect was found in Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) treated with essential oil and camphor.

Based on intelligent inquiry teaching mode research, this article chose the E-book Bag as the learning environment. It focused on its improvement and application in primary school English teaching.
The Delights of Writing
Authors: Liao Linchun
Published: January 2021

As the core of writing ability, language use is one of the most critical training objectives in teaching the Chinese language. In the Chinese study, writing is a continuous and non-linear process that contributes to the higher-order thinking ability through discovery, conception, generation, and evaluation. Writing could be affected by the social environment and personal factors. The cultivation and improvement of writing ability have always been a difficult task for both teachers and students. Multidimensional electronic texts can help students increase visual and auditory sensory stimulation, help students immerse in practical or imitated context, strengthen the academic foundation such as words or phrases, and article structure to experience vivid and exciting writing. This article will combine the specific teaching case to explain further how multidimensional electronic texts can cultivate and improve students’ writing ability in actual teaching.

Absztrakt:

A molekuláris biológiai technikák utóbbi évtizedekben látott fejlődésének
köszönhetően a vérplazmában keringő biomolekuláknak, így például a tumor eredetű
sejtmentes DNS-fragmentumoknak is korábban elképzelhetetlen mélységű vizsgálata
vált elérhetővé. A minimális invazivitással járó folyadékbiopsziás mintavétel
metasztatikus tumorok esetében lehetővé teszi eltérő anatómiai lokalizációval
megjelenő genetikai aberrációk egyidejű feltérképezését, azok nyomon követését,
illetve a klonális evolúció következtében megjelenő további abnormalitások
kimutatását is. Ebből következően számos, szolid tumorokat vizsgáló,
folyadékbiopsziás mintavételt alkalmazó tanulmány jelent meg az utóbbi
évtizedben, néhány entitás vonatkozásában pedig az eljárás már a
rutindiagnosztikában is alkalmazásra került. Onkohematológiában az ebből a
szempontból legintenzívebben kutatott megbetegedések közé a diffúz nagy B-sejtes
limfóma, a Hodgkin-limfóma, illetve a plazmasejtes mielóma tartozik. Saját,
illetve irodalmi adatok alapján a tumor eredetű sejtmentes DNS vizsgálata
hasznos lehet a kezelést megelőző prognózisbecslésben, a célozható molekuláris
eltérések azonosításában, a terápiás hatékonyság és a minimális reziduális
betegség monitorozásában, valamint a terápiarezisztens klónok kimutatásában.
Jelen összefoglaló közleményünkben a folyadékbiopszia-vizsgálatok
onkohematológiai alkalmazásait tekintjük át.
Science Wars, Scientism, and Think Tanks
Authors: Pigliucci Massimo
Published: January 2021

The present contribution offers a précis of the second edition of Nonsense on Stilts: How to Tell Science from Bunk (Pigliucci 2018). The aim of the book is to explore the complex landscape populated by science, pseudoscience, and everything in between, what in philosophy is known as the “demarcation problem.” However, the author maintains that little progress can be done in public understanding and appreciation of science unless we also explore the historical, sociological and psychological motivations that lead people to believe in “nonsense on stilts.” Further, it is incumbent on scientists and science educators to act “virtuously” whenever dealing with pseudoscientific claims, an effort that may be greatly helped by the adoption of a virtue epistemological approach, analogous to virtue ethics in moral philosophy.

EFEITOS DA MUDANÇA CURRICULAR: CARACTERÍSTICAS DO APRENDIZ E DESFECHOS DA APRENDIZAGEM
Authors: Sobral Dejano Tavares
Published: January 2021

Resumo: Um estudo comparativo foi realizado envolvendo a grande maioria dos estudantes de currículo em desativação e de novo currículo em implantação, no curso de Medicina da Universidade de Brasília. Foram comparadas as características motivacionais dos alunados e os desfechos da aprendizagem no pré-clínico. Três diferenças significantes foram observadas: estudantes do currículo em desativação apresentavam maior nível de autoconfiança, enquanto a motivação para aprender era maior nos alunos do novo currículo; ademais, os escores da significação percebida do aprendizado (durante o pré-clínico) eram mais elevados no alunado do novo currículo. Não houve diferenças significante de rendimento acadêmico (média geral) entre os dois grupos na iniciação clínica, nem nas preferências por carreira dos estudantes. Os achados indicam que a reestruturação curricular no pré-clínico não afetou o nível de conhecimento aplicado, embora as percepções iniciais da significação do aprendizado tenham sido mais positivas entre os alunos do novo currículo. Essas percepções são influenciadas por várias características motivacionais individuais.

Matriz de competências para o ensino da homeopatia na graduação médica
Authors: Freitas Francisco José de , Mello Rodrigo da Fontoura de Albuquerque , Barbosa Maria Tereza Serrano
Published: January 2021

Resumo: Introdução: Currículos médicos de graduação são extremamente carregados em seu conteúdo, tornando-se primordial a necessidade de otimizar competências essenciais. As Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) do Curso de Graduação em Medicina preconizam uma valorização do tratamento do doente que possui muitas interfaces com a homeopatia. Apesar de ser uma especialidade médica no Brasil reconhecida desde 1980, a homeopatia ainda é pouco presente na graduação médica. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver uma matriz de competências essenciais composta de conhecimentos e habilidades desejáveis para o ensino da homeopatia na graduação médica. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo quanti-qualitativo realizado por meio da técnica Delphi normativa, em duas rodadas, com os docentes especialistas em homeopatia do país. Na primeira rodada, aplicou-se um questionário anônimo on-line para identificar as competências (conhecimentos e habilidades) necessárias em homeopatia para os discentes de graduação em Medicina. Após a análise de conteúdo, os temas foram agrupados nessas duas categorias que retornaram para apuração na segunda rodada, em que os especialistas assinalaram o grau de concordância (escala de Likert de quatro pontos: de não relevante a muito relevante). Para a definição de consenso, adotaram-se dois critérios: índice de De Loe e uma nota de relevância adotada pelos autores com vistas a discriminar mais os graus de consenso. Resultados: Dos 14 temas/subtemas relacionados como competências/conhecimentos, consideraram-se 11 como de alto consenso, dos quais cinco foram avaliados como primordiais, pois obtiveram nota de relevância acima de 9,0 (três relacionados ao grande tema clínica homeopática; um, à teoria e técnica homeopáticas; e outro, à pesquisa homeopática). Em relação às competências/habilidades, oito das 11 foram consideradas de alto consenso, e somente duas alcançaram nota acima de 9,0, ambas relacionadas à clínica homeopática. Conclusão: O ensino da homeopatia pode contribuir para a mudança paradigmática da medicina no sentido de valorizar o doente e promover a saúde, permitindo uma atuação médica mais humanizada e centrada no doente, o que justificaria a adoção de seu ensino, inclusive obrigatório, nas faculdades de Medicina. A elaboração de uma matriz de competências do que deve ser ensinado de homeopatia aos discentes da graduação médica vem ao encontro das DCN e instrumentaliza a reflexão na elaboração de uma futura ementa.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different pre-cutting and residual heights of Pearl millet, Sudangrass, and Sorghum pastures on yield, morphological and chemical composition. The experimental design was the randomized blocks, with four experimental units per treatment. It was evaluated three species of forage: 1) Pearl millet (MIL; Pennisetum americanum); 2) Sudangrass (SUD; Sorghum sudanense); and 3) Sorghum (SOR; Sorghum bicolor); and two cutting managements: I) 50:20 - cutting height at 50 cm and 20 cm residual height; and II) 85:10 - cutting height at 85 cm and 10 cm residual height. Managements of cutting height affected neither forage yield per cut nor total forage yield. Sudangrass had less cuts than MIL and SOR when submitted to the 50:20 management. The 85:10 management increased stem proportion and leaf to stem ratio, and reduced leaf proportion in comparison with the 50:20 management. The 50:20 management reduced forage contents of fiber and organic matter, and increased forage contents of crude protein and total digestible nutrient. Sorghum exhibited greater nutritive value due to increased leaf proportion. The 50:20 management increased number of cuts and improved nutritive value of forages, regardless of species evaluated in this study.

Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT: This research evaluates the influence of the replacement of natural coarse aggregates (NCA) by recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) on the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams. Experimental tests on six reinforced concrete beams with RCA replacement ratios of 0%, 30%, and 100% are presented. Furthermore, a database with results of 170 tests on beams with RCA is used to discuss adjustments in the recommendations presented by ABNT NBR 6118 to estimate the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams. According to the Demerit Points Classification (DPC) proposed by Collins, 80% of the theoretical results obtained using models I and II from the Brazilian code fall in an appropriate safety condition range, showing that the substitution of NCA by RCA has a low impact on the shear strength reinforced concrete beams.

Esta investigación se ha realizado utilizando un método descriptivo y análisis de contenido en el que trabaja el estudio de investigadores Forough Farrokhzad. Los resultados muestran que Forough Farrokhzad siempre se ha enfrentado con la censura y el pesimismo de la gente en nuestra sociedad de que nuestra cultura tradicional no pudo soportar su libertad que refleja sus emociones, pensamientos y afectos en sus poemas. Estos reflejan tanto las dificultades por las que ha pasado como también se hacen eco de sus problemas psicológicos, como la inferioridad, la sumisión, la agresión y el trastorno disociativo. De hecho, su autorrevelación, supremacía y soledad elegida por ella misma fueron un intento intencional de cubrir y sanar sus debilidades. Luego de analizar sobre Forough, se identificó que su actitud negativa hacia el mundo y su pesimismo ha creado paranoia en algunas de sus poesías. Ella era pesimista en algunos de sus poemas y veía a todos los hombres ya veces a todas las personas como su enemigo.

Published: January 2021

El presente documento investiga los efectos del consumo de energía en la productividad del capital utilizando la producción de travesaños en el sector agrícola de Irán, mediante el método econométrico apropiado, que es el retraso distribuido autorregresivo (ARDL). Asimismo, el método de esta investigación es descriptivo y utiliza métodos relacionados con los objetivos. Los hallazgos muestran que la relación de consumo de energía per cápita en la relación a largo plazo es -3,8, lo que significa que la productividad del capital disminuye alrededor del 4% para un aumento del uno por ciento en el consumo de energía per cápita. En este estudio, los factores que afectan la productividad energética se han estudiado en el sector agrícola durante 1990-2016 en Irán. En este sentido, la productividad energética se calculó primero utilizando un indicador de productividad parcial. Los resultados revelaron que la productividad energética en el sector agrícola aumentó en promedio 1,1% por año durante el período de estudio. El promedio de la fuerza laboral por unidad de capital y el capital humano promedio por unidad no afecta la productividad del capital, por lo que el consumo promedio de energía por unidad de capital afecta la productividad del capital.

Current and future potential habitat suitability prediction of an endemic freshwater fish species Seminemacheilus lendlii (Hankó, 1925) using Maximum Entropy Modelling (MaxEnt) under climate change scenarios: implications for conservation
Authors: AKSU Sadi
Published: January 2021

Climate change is one of the important phenomena of the century. Species distribution models have become very popular in recent years for conservation planning. When making management and conservation plans for a species, it is essential to know the current and future distributions. Expected temperature and precipitation changes will significantly affect the distribution areas of the species. These changes may result in habitat losses for some species and habitat expansion for others. This study, which current and future distribution area of Seminemacheilus lendlii, occurred in a very narrow area in Turkey, which is categorized as ‘Vulnerable’ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) was explored. Bioclimatic variables (Bio 1-19) were applied to determine the habitat suitability of S. lendlii under a current and a future (CCSM4, RCP’s 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5 2070) scenario using MaxEnt software. The most influential variables were respectively bio_15, bio_14, bio_8, bio_4, bio_3, and the environmental variable that decreases the gain the most when it is omitted was the precipitation seasonality (Coefficient of Variation) (bio_15). S. lendlii is a sensitive species, with a not endurance to environmental stress. As a result of the modeling, it has been observed that there will be a significant decrease in the suitable habitats until 2070.
Effects of Temperature Changes on the Spatial Distribution and Ecology of Ostracod (Crustacea) Species
Authors: AKDEMİR Derya , KÜLKÖYLÜOĞLU Okan
Published: January 2021

To understand the possible effects of changes in ambient temperature on spatial distribution and ecology of ostracods, samples were randomly collected from 70 aquatic sites with 12 different habitat types from Hatay (Turkey) province during the summer season of 2012. 14 of 19 ostracod species were newly reported for the province. The first two axes of CCA explained 79.7% of the cumulative variance of the relationship between the 12 most common species and five environmental variables. Accordingly, water temperature and electrical conductivity were the most effective factors on species occurrences (p<0.05). Estimating ecological optimum and tolerance values of species revealed that Herpetocypris chevreuxi and Cypridopsis vidua displayed the lowest and highest tolerance values for water temperature, respectively. TWINSPAN results illustrated that ostracod species can be used to determine characteristics of habitat conditions. Indeed, the co-occurrence of H. chevreuxi with one or more cosmopolitan species is the indication of an increase in salinity and temperature values. Results suggested that temperature changes can cause critical alteration in shallow water bodies where species with lower ecological tolerances will eventually be negatively affected. Therefore, such species, which may be called “potential candidate species for local extinction” will either be eliminated from the habitats in short term or become extinct in long term.
Alabalık İşletmelerinin Yapısal Özellikleri ve Su Ürünleri Desteklemelerine İlişkin Görüşlerinin Değerlendirilmesi: Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep ve Şanlıurfa İlleri Örneği
Authors: CANDEMİR Serhan
Published: January 2021

Bu çalışmada Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep ve Şanlıurfa illerinde alabalık üretimi yapan balıkçılık işletmelerinin su ürünleri desteklemelerine ilişkin yargıları analiz edilmiştir. İllerde toplam 77 adet işletme bulunmakta olup, toplam 21 işletme ile anket çalışması yürütülmüştür. Yetiştiricilerin su ürünleri desteklemeleri ile ilgili yargılarının analizinde çok boyutlu ölçekleme yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Yetiştiricilerin kültür balıkçılığı deneyimi 14,62 yıl olarak bulunmuştur. Yetiştiricilerin sahip oldukları işletmelerin yıllık kapasitesi ortalama 271,29 ton, ortalama yıllık üretim miktarı ise 152,57 ton olarak belirlenmiştir. İşletmelerin kapasite kullanım oranı %78 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Desteklemelerin kaldırılmasının daha olumlu olacağı, desteklemelerin piyasa dengesini bozduğu ve ihracatta olumsuz etki gösterdiği yönündeki yargılara yetiştiricilerin genel olarak katıldıkları ve yetiştiriciler tarafından benzer şekilde algılandıkları belirlenmiştir. Desteklemeler sayesinde sektörün büyüdüğü ve işletme alt yapısının geliştiği yönündeki yargılara yetiştiricilerin çoğunlukla katılmadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Desteklemeler sayesinde nitelikli personel çalıştırma, üretim miktarının ve balık kalitesinin arttığı yönündeki yargıların da üreticiler tarafından genelde kabul görmediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
DNA extraction protocol for genome sequencing v2.0 v1
Authors: Vea Isabelle , G. de la Filia Andrés , Bain Stevie
Published: January 2021

Protocol to extract DNA from female mealybug (P.citri) for genomic sequencing. This protocol was established by Stevie Bain and Andres Garcia de la Filia in the Ross lab (University of Edinburgh, IEB), which includes a combination of two kits. I modified it slightly based on Dom Laetsch protocol version 1.1 (Blaxter lab, University of Edinburgh, IEB) Main modifications: 13,000 rpm centrifuge at 4deg all the time instead of 13000 rpm at room temperature Amounts of reagents kept from Andres's protocol but use Cell lysis buffer and Protein precitpitation solution from Qiagen (Dom's) Overnight incubation at 56 is in a heated chambre with a rocking platform to allow gentle mixing All vortexing steps were changed to mixing by inversion and rotation as in Dom's protocol. Beware: RNase A concentration should be 100mg/mL the first time and if there is still RNA left, do a second step of RNase A at 20ug/mL as final concentration
Narrative and personhood
Authors: Klaasen John
Published: January 2021

This article sets out a Christian theological anthropology for community development. This critical engagement with traditional and doctrinal forms of Christian theological anthropology will analyse two contrasting perspectives of theological anthropology to construct a contemporary community development model that considers the responsibility of communities for community development. The theological model of community development considers narrative as an interlocutor of personhood and community development. This article further investigates conceptual linkages between personhood and community development through classification or categorisation of Catholic and Eastern Orthodox views of personhood. I will use the narrative as a lens to interpret the two perspectives and identify foundations for a triad community development model of personhood, narrative, and community development.
Kanttekeningen bij het Merkwaardig Verhaal van M.C. Vos
Authors: Schutte Gerrit
Published: January 2021

The Rev M.C. Vos (1759-1825), born at the Cape, clergyman in The Netherlands, at the Cape and Sri Lanka, is known as an initiator of the mission in South Africa. His life is mostly based on his autobiography Merkwaardig verhaal (1824). Some factual historical remarks learn, however, that his autobiography is far from a virtual (auto)biography, it is his story of God’s guidance in his life and an incentive to a religious revival.
When tomorrow is yesterday
Authors: Boesak Allan
Published: January 2021

In an early 1977 interview, Steve Biko offered not only insights into the events of June 16 the year before, but also a prophetic analysis of a post-apartheid situation if black people’s political liberation did not include economic liberation as an essential and indispensable reality. Taking those insights as point of departure, and engaging the intellectual work of Kwame Nkrumah, this article argues that Biko’s words were not only prophetic and correct, but absolutely relevant for South Africa’s neo-colonial situation today. Embracing the thinking of Iranian social scientist Hamid Dabashi, I further contend that the events on June 16, 1976 were the start of a revolution, in the sense of “delayed defiance,” still ongoing and manifesting itself in different forms in South Africa today. An analysis of our present South African context, especially as regards the plight of the poor, women, the LGBTQI community, and the still-contested state of our reconciliation process as illustrated by the controversies stirred by former president De Klerk’s denialism regarding apartheid, leads me to conclude that this revolution is “incomplete.”
Who or what is to blame for the power paradox in society?
Authors: Cornelius Elma
Published: January 2021

We vote for people who seem to be promising good leaders and somehow, they turn out to be terrible leaders. This tendency Keltner (2007) calls the “power paradox”. The moment people gain power or success or wealth, their characteristics of empathy, collaboration, open mindedness, fairness, and generosity vanish into thin air and we have to deal with impulsive and self-serving leaders. The experience of power thus damages leaders’ social intelligence. The author of this article asks: who or what is to be blamed for this power paradox? Keltner suggests that we need people with a focus on others, who have empathy, a giving personality, gratitude, and unifying stories. The author suggests that spiritual intelligence can fix the power paradox in society as she shows that Keltner’s principles for enduring power are no different from the spiritual gifts explained in the Bible of Christianity. Spiritual intelligence is offered as the solution to the power paradox.
The Oresteia and the Poetics of Equity
Authors: Delport Khegan Marcel
Published: January 2021

The essay aims to articulate how Aeschylus’s tragic trilogy The Oresteia articulates what I call a ‘poetics of equity’. After placing the genesis of this article within a theological debate between David Bentley Hart and Rowan Williams on the viability of a Christian appropriation of tragedy, I aim to show - using the suggestive work of J. Peter Euben (amongst others)– that The Oresteia dramatizes a growth in perspective and linguistic capaciousness which confirms Williams’s general picture of ancient tragedy. The progress of the trilogy, from the Agamemnon to The Eumenides, can be shown to represent ever-deepening awareness of mutual claims of justice and recognition, and moreover that its linguistic indeterminacy manifests the breadth and instability of the lexicon of justice (dikē), and how this plays itself out within the Aeschylean narrative.
Justice for the dead
Authors: Singata Silakhe
Published: January 2021

The objective of this article is to reflect on the challenge issued by John D. Caputo, in his approach to the resurrection, to rewrite the history of the suffering with prayers and tears. In order to ground this reflection in the African context, the notion of remembering the dead in weak theology will be brought into conversation with the African traditional practice of venerating ancestors. This is all to approach an act of remembering the victims of the past which is different from historiography.
empirical interrogation of the Christian/Muslim inter-religious challenges in Northern Nigeria
Authors: D. Tuduks Oholioabs
Published: January 2021

Various researches indicate that Christians and Muslims in Northern Nigeria experience a tense and violent relationship that arises from a dysfunctional relationship embedded in a superiority/inferiority complex, discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. The crisis has created deep-rooted trauma that has caused the two religious groups to co-exist in fear and suspicion. The dysfunctional relationship continues to propagate exclusive and discriminative lifestyle, and triggers tension and violence among Christians and Muslims in the region. This article uses an empirical study approach to engage in an investigation of the experience of Christian/Muslim co-existence in Northern Nigeria. The data collection method of interview was used in drawing the in-depth contextual experience of the people. Findings reveal challenges of Christian/Muslim co-existence, with alarming violence that continues to threaten inter-religious co-existence. Healing and reconciliation were recommended for creating inter-religious functional relationships among the Christians and Muslims in Northern Nigeria.
absurdity of reconciliation.
Authors: Solomons Demaine
Published: January 2021

The quest for reconciliation in South Africa is an exercise in the absurd. To say it is an exercise for the absurd might also have some merit. Like Sisyphus, the figure in Greek mythology, those engaged in the quest for reconciliation are condemned to repeat forever the same, in some cases, meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain only to see it roll down again. This is amid the human propensity to forever search for meaning irrespective of the incongruity of the ideal and the absurdity that defines our existence. The illogicality of apartheid and the subsequent pain and alienation continues to be a defining feature of a country trying to come to terms not what it ought to be, but what it is – chaotic, irrational and sometimes meaningless. In this context, Rustenburg is a symbol of the audacity to dream of something beyond the absurd. Moreover, invoking a theology of reconciliation to achieve something extraordinary amid an uncertain future.

В тибетском языке широко используется номинализайия глаголов с помощью добавления к глагольному корню суффиксов-номинализаторов . Помимо основного номинализатораpa , образующего субстантивированные причастия, есть ряд существительных, так называемых квази-номинализаторов , которые могут употребляться и как знаменательные существительные, и как суффиксы-номинализаторы (например, tshul 'способ') . Номинализованный глагол может образовывать глагольную группу любой длины и сложности. Тибетские именные формы глагола и номинализованные глагольные группы могут идиоматизироваться , что требует специального моделирования их значений в компьютерной онтологии. В статье рассматриваются виды тибетских номинализаторов и квази-номинализаторов , особенности образования идиоматизированных глагольных групп с различными назначениями и способы моделирования их в онтологии.
GAZETE HABERLERİNDE KORKU SUNUMUNUN GÖSTERGEBİLİMSEL ÇÖZÜMLEMESİ (COVID-19 ÖRNEĞİNDE)
Authors: Vatandaş Saniye
Published: January 2021

Kitle iletişim araçları, bilgi verme (enformasyon), toplumsallaştırma, güdüleme (motivasyon), eğitim, eğlence, siyasal katılım sağlama gibi birçok farklı işlevi yerine getirirler. Bu işlevleri başarılı bir şekilde yerine getirebilmek için de farklı tekniklerden yararlanırlar. “Korku çekiciliği” faktöründen yararlanmak tekniklerden birisidir. Korku çekiciliği insanlara, mesajlarda ileri sürülen tavsiyelere uymadıklarında başlarına gelecek olumsuz sonuçlara işaret ederek; onları korku yoluyla ikna etmeye çalışan bir tekniktir. Örneğin konusu gereği korkuyla ilişkilendirilebilecek bir haber metnine korku unsurlarının eklenmesi o haber metnine yönelik ilgiyi ve haber ile amaçlanan yönlendirme gücünün artırmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. Zira haberin çekiciliği ne kadar algılanırsa, mesaj da o kadar ikna edici olmaktadır. Bu tür uygulamaların, öncesinde hazırlık yapılmasını veya gerçekleştiğinde alınması gereken önlemler konusunda titiz davranılmasını gerektiren trafik kazası, deprem, su baskını, salgın gibi kaza ve felaketlerde sıklıkla tercih edildiği görülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın konusunu kitle iletişim araçlarının en köklü temsilcilerinden birisi olan gazetelerin covid-19 pandemisi örneğinde haber metinlerinde korku çekiciliği faktöründen nasıl yararlandıklarını tespit etmek oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçla sekiz farklı gazetenin pandemiyi manşete taşıyan haberleri göstergebilimsel yönteme uygun olarak incelenmiştir.
Polikistik over sendromu bulunan kadınlarda glikoz potasyum oranının tanısal değerinin insülin ile karşılaştırılması
Authors: GÜRBÜZ Tuğba , GÖKMEN Oya , DOKUZEYLÜL GÜNGÖR Nur
Published: January 2021

Amaç: Polikistik over sendromu (PKOS), üreme çağındaki kadınların %12-23'ini etkileyen en yaygın endokrin bozukluktur. Bu çalışmada, PKOS’lu hastalarda serum Glikoz Potasyum (Glu/K+) oranının tanısal değeri olup olmadığı araştırıldı.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma, hasta verileri kullanılarak retrospektif tek merkezli yürütülen bir analiz çalışmasıdır. Çalışma kriterlerine uygun 98 PKOS’lu ile 78 yaş uyumlu kadın kontrol grubu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Serum Glu/K+ oranı, serum açlık Glikozunun serum potasyum düzeylerine bölünmesiyle hesaplandı ve laboratuvar verileri tüm hasta ve kontrol grubu için analiz edildi.

Bulgular: İnsülin ile Glu/K+ oranı arasında korelasyon analizinde anlamlı bağıntı tespit edildi. Glu/K+ oranı için ROC eğri altındaki alan insüline yakın şekilde 0,759 bulundu.. ROC analizine göre PKOS tanısı için İnsülin cut-off değeri 81% duyarlılık ve 75% özgüllük değerinde 9,1 olarak tespit edilirken Glu/K+ oranının cut-off değeri 74% duyarlılık ve 71% özgüllük değerinde 21,4 olarak hesaplandı.

Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız, serum Glu/K+ oranının PKOS için tanısal özelliklere sahip olan insülin ile pozitif ve yakından ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Serum Glu/K+ oranının PCOS için yararlı bir biyobelirteç olarak kullanılabilecek duyarlılık ve özgüllüğe sahip olduğu tespit ettik.
