Характер електродних процесів та рівноваг визначається зміною іонного складу розплавів на основі вольфраматів лужних і лужноземельних металів. Експериментальні дослідження показують, що, залежно від йонного складу розплавів, продуктами їх електролізу можуть бути вольфрамові бронзи різного складу, оксиди вольфраму, вольфрам та його бориди. Вивчення активностей іонів оксигену у вольфраматному розплаві проводили методом вимірювання ЕРС електрохімічних комірок з кисневими електродами. Один з електродів характеризується постійною активністю йонів оксигену, що забезпечується його діафрагмуванням. Другий електрод занурено в досліджуваний розплав. Потенціометричними дослідженнями доведено, що сполуки B2O3, Na2B4O7, P2O5, NaPO3, Na4P2O7 є акцепторами оксигенових іонів; а сполуки NaBO2, Na3PO4 – донорами. Хід спостережуваних залежностей пояснюється за допомогою теорії спряжених кислот-основ. Дослідження показали, що при додаванні бор оксиду та натрій метаборату до вольфраматного розплаву утворюються аніони BO2 –, що підтверджується структурними методами охолоджених плавів. Результати вивчення кислотно-основних взаємодій у вольфраматному розплаві, який містить бор оксид або натрій метаборат потенціометричним методом підтверджують можливість застосування моделей іонного складу розплаву з утворенням полівольфраматних іонів. Узгодження експериментальних залежностей з розрахунковими підтверджує правильність запропонованих моделей іонного складу розплаву. Можливість керування кислотно-основними властивостями цих розплавів являє собою не лише теоретичний, а й практичний інтерес. Знання структури вольфраматних розплавів з оксигеновмісними сполуками бору дозволяє обгрунтовано підійти до вибору складів електролітів для отримання порошків та гальванопокриттів вольфраму та боридів вольфраму визначеного складу.
Prolonged infusion causes an increase in the incidence of phlebitis in hospitalized patients: a systematic review
Authors: Falihin Muh. Ainul , Bachtiar Arief , Yuswanto Tri Johan Agus
Published: September 2023

Infusion is a medical therapy carried out invasively using an effective method to supply fluids, electrolytes, nutrients, and drugs through the blood vessels. Intravenous therapy should be monitored continuously because fluid and electrolyte imbalances can endanger the patient. However, the long-term infusion can increase the occurrence of an infection in the blood vessels called phlebitis. This study literature aims to find evidence of a relationship between the duration of use of intravenous infusions and the incidence of phlebitis. The Study Literature method is a Systematic Literature Review. This Study Literature uses five research journals from the Google Scholar and PubMed databases. The analysis of 5 journals showed a relationship between the infusion length and phlebitis incidence. It is expected that the nurses on duty are expected to be able to pay attention to the time and date of the patient's intravenous infusion and replace the intravenous infusion no more than three days or 72 hours. Further researchers are expected to be able to develop this literature study using other study focuses, namely in the form of factors that can affect phlebitis and increase information, references, and insights in using Literature review as a reference for compiling the final project.

We report two extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) isolates combining high-level resistance to azithromycin and resistance to ceftriaxone, obtained in France from two heterosexual patients, one of whom returned from Cambodia. Whole genome sequencing identified MLST ST16406, the mosaic penA-60.001 which caused ceftriaxone resistance in the internationally spreading FC428 clone, and the A2059G mutation in the 23S rRNA gene. The NG isolates F93 and F94 were related to XDR isolates detected in Austria and the United Kingdom in 2022.

Authors: Vivas-Colmenares Grecia Victoria , Moya-Jiménez María José , Granero-Cendón Rocío , López-Alonso Manuel
Published: September 2023

Objectives: We aimed to describe anal ultrasound for monitoring anorectal malformations.
Methods: A descriptive and retrospective study of patients diagnosed and/or intervened with anorectal malformations rated by anal ultrasonography, between 2016-2017, was performed. We employed a transducer of 10 megahertz to identify the anatomy of the anal channel.
Results: Eight patients, 5 men and 3 women were included, with a mean of 8.37 years old (range, 3-11). Three patients had a diagnosis of an anterior anus (not operated). Surgery was performed in 5 patients: 2 had a rectourethral fistula, 1 had a rectovesical fistula, and 1 had a rectovestibular and a perineal fistula.
The most significant ultrasound findings were partial absence of the anterior part of the external sphincter, internal sphincter hypertrophy in the middle channel, and absence of internal sphincter in the median and high channel plus the absence of external sphincter in the anterior region. These results belonged to a patient with clinical incontinence and to 2 patients that were previously diagnosed with an anterior anus.
Conclusions: Anal ultrasonography is a non-invasive method, economic, and feasible to be performed without anesthesia. It offers useful anatomical information to establish the best therapeutic option. Its main limitation is the unfeasibility of carrying it out on patients under 3 years old.

Authors: Cali-Tobar Lizeth , Chávez-Iza Lautaro , López-Mayorga Alberto
Published: September 2023

Introducción: El mielomeningocele fetal, es la extrusión de la médula espinal que ocurre por un cierre incompleto del neuróporo caudal, lo cual expone la placa neural al trauma mecánico y químico de la pared uterina y líquido amniótico respectivamente, con graves secuelas. La detección prenatal innovó el diagnóstico y con ello la reparación intra útero ha mejorado estrategias del tratamiento, generando opciones de atención en aquellas pacientes que cumplen con los criterios de selección para cirugía prenatal.
Objetivo: Presentar una revisión bibliográfica sobre diagnóstico, manejo y tratamiento del mielomeningocele fetal y ofrecer a la comunidad científica una herramienta de consulta para mejorar los conocimientos del tema y alternativas de tratamiento oportuno para los fetos con esta malformación.
Metodología: Se trata de un estudio de revisión sistemática sin metaanálisis, realizado en base a las recomendaciones PRISMA. La búsqueda de información se estructuró bajo el sistema PICO. Las búsquedas se realizaron en Pubmed, Tripdatabase y Pubmed Central; seleccionando artículos publicados durante los últimos diez años en inglés o español, sobre diagnóstico, manejo y tratamiento del mielomeningocele fetal.
Resultados: 120 artículos cumplieron con criterios de búsqueda, de los cuáles fueron elegibles 42, con información relevante para determinar el diagnóstico, manejo y tratamiento actual del mielomeningocele fetal a través de procedimientos innovadores.
Discusión: Los defectos del tubo neural aparecen como consecuencia de una alteración del proceso de neurulación entre el día 21-28 después de la concepción. El mielomeningocele fetal es considerado el defecto congénito no letal más común del SNC. Se caracteriza por la protrusión de las meninges y la médula espinal con daño neurológico permanente. Por ello el diagnóstico y manejo oportuno de esta patología, han permitido que la cirugía fetal intra útero se considere el método óptimo, mejorando la hernia del rombencéfalo, reduciendo la necesidad de una derivación ventricular y manteniendo la motricidad inferior, así como la función neuronal, vesical y gastrointestinal, mejorando la calidad de vida del paciente afecto por esta patología.

Introducción: La hipertensión postparto de inicio tardío se presenta desde las 48 horas hasta las 6 semanas postparto, afectando al 2% de los embarazos relacionados o no con antecedentes de hipertensión gestacional. La preeclampsia posparto tiene una incidencia del 5,7% a las 72 horas del parto y está asociada a varios factores maternos como la edad (≥ 35 años), etnia (negra) y obesidad (IMC ≥ 30), presentando mayor riesgo en embarazos múltiples, madres añosas (mayores de 35 años) hogares con bajos ingresos económicos. Los síntomas más frecuentes de esta patología son cefalea, disnea, trastornos visuales y edema periférico.
Objetivo: Describir la experiencia en un centro de salud de atención primaria, el manejo de una paciente diagnosticada de preeclampsia posparto de inicio tardío, así como las características clínicas y factores de riesgo.
Presentación del caso: Se presenta el caso de una paciente indígena de 32 años con antecedente de parto gemelar quien en su control del puerperio a las 72 horas presentó hipertensión arterial, cefalea frontal, edema periférico y proteinuria estableciéndose el diagnóstico de preeclampsia posparto de inicio tardío. No fue posible la referencia a un segundo nivel de atención por las características culturales de la paciente por lo cual recibió manejo clínico y tratamiento en el primer nivel de atención presentando una evolución favorable sin complicaciones.
Conclusiones y recomendaciones: La hipertensión posparto de inicio tardío es una patología poco frecuente en el puerperio, infradiagnosticada, con complicaciones cardiovasculares a corto y largo plazo, por lo cual su diagnóstico, diferenciación y manejo debe ser óptimo en base a las recomendaciones existentes.
Investigación científica en salud: estado actual y perspectivas a futuro
Authors: Rojas-Velasco Giovanni
Published: September 2023

La historia de la medicina cuenta con relatos curiosos e inexplicables, como el rechazo inicial al lavado de manos y la anestesia en cirugía. El avance del conocimiento científico en ciencias de la salud se da a una velocidad poco mensurable, lo que hace que los profesionales sanitarios se sientan desbordados por la cantidad de conocimiento biomédico que se produce anualmente. Por ello, los profesionales sanitarios del siglo XXI se ven en la necesidad de incorporar otras habilidades a su repertorio, como la Medicina Basada en Evidencia (MBE). La integridad es un principio ético vinculado con la valoración de la honestidad, el respeto y la transparencia en las interacciones profesionales. La integridad se relaciona con la consistencia entre los valores que se predican y los métodos, expectativas y resultados realmente alcanzados con las intervenciones profesionales.

El objetivo es analizar el contexto de produccio´n de la peli´cula y las acciones en las que se representan las subjetividades que desafi´an el modelo hegemo´nico de la mujer silenciosa y sus estereotipos, partiendo de la observacio´n de la falta de representacio´n positiva de las mujeres rapadas. El proceso creativo y el contexto espacio-temporal de la actuacio´n se analizará a la luz de la evolucio´n del movimiento feminista.
La movilización ciudadana frente a la implantación de centros de retención de inmigrantes en España: el caso de Motril en 2018
Authors: Garcia Paola
Published: September 2023

En 2018, España se enfrenta a una aceleración de llegada de migrantes ilegales a la costa andaluza, provenientes principalmente del norte de África y de África subsahariana. Las infraestructuras de acogida de inmigrantes resultan entonces insuficientes y en ese contexto, el Gobierno central anuncia la transformación de una antigua base militar, situada en Motril, en un centro de retención para inmigrantes. Este anuncio provoca de inmediato el rechazo por una parte de la ciudadanía que se moviliza para impedir que se realice el proyecto. Analizaremos en este artículo el significado y alcance de esta movilización social la cual consigue que el proyecto se abandone.

Potential Use of Essential Oils and Their Individual Components in Cosmeceuticals: A Review
Authors: Hamdy A Shaaban
Published: September 2023

The cosmetic industry is searching for new active ingredients from renewable natural sources to make more environmentally friendly and safe products. Botanical extract is a nearly limitless source of these new actives due to the current consumer demands as well as international regulations. Due to both their fragrant nature for the creation of fragrances and perfumes and the numerous advantageous properties of their individual components (EOCs), such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, essential oils (EOs) emerge as a very common natural ingredient in cosmetics and toiletries. Additionally, nowadays, the cosmetic industry includes EOs or different mixtures of their individual components (EOCs), either as active ingredients or as preservatives, in various product ranges (e.g., moisturizers, lotions, and cleansers in skin care cosmetics; conditioners, masks or anti-dandruff products in hair care products; lipsticks, or fragrances in perfumery). However, because each essential oil’s distinct chemical profile is linked to a different set of advantages, it is challenging to generalize about how they might be used in cosmetics and toiletries. Formulators frequently spend time looking for appropriate combinations of EOs or EOCs to achieve particular advantages in the finished products. The literature on the most recent developments in the use of EOs and EOCs in the production of cosmetic products is updated in this work’s review of the literature. Additionally, certain particular issues pertaining to the security of EOs and EOCs in cosmetics will be covered. It is expected that the information contained in this comprehensive review can be exploited by formulators in the design and optimization of cosmetic formulations containing EOs.
Hypersexual Disorder: A Comprehensive Review of Conceptualization, Etiology, Assessment and Treatment
Authors: Shashank Tiwari
Published: September 2023

Hypersexual disorder, also known as compulsive sexual behavior or sex addiction, is a complex and clinically significant condition characterized by intense and recurrent sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors that significantly disrupt an individual’s daily life and overall well-being. Despite its importance, hypersexual disorder remains a controversial and debated topic, lacking standardized diagnostic criteria in major classification systems. This review paper provides a comprehensive examination of hypersexual disorder, encompassing its definition, conceptualization, etiology, co-occurring conditions, effects on mental and physical health, assessment, treatment approaches, cultural and ethical considerations, and future research directions. By synthesizing information from existing literature and research, this review aims to deepen our understanding of hypersexual disorder and contribute to the development of evidence-based interventions. The review begins by exploring the evolution of the term “hypersexual disorder” and its current status in diagnostic classifications. It then delves into the potential etiological factors contributing to the development of hypersexual behaviors, including neurobiological, genetic, and psychosocial factors. Furthermore, the review discusses the common comorbidities associated with hypersexual disorder, emphasizing the importance of addressing co-occurring mental health conditions in treatment planning. The psychological and physiological effects of hypersexual behaviors on affected individuals are examined, underscoring the urgency of early intervention and comprehensive treatment. The assessment and diagnosis of hypersexual disorder are thoroughly examined, considering the challenges and methodologies involved in identifying and evaluating affected individuals. Cultural and ethical considerations are highlighted, stressing the significance of providing culturally sensitive and ethical care to diverse populations. In the context of treatment, the review discusses various therapeutic approaches, including psychotherapy, medication, support groups, and harm-reduction strategies. The need for evidence-based treatments tailored to hypersexual disorder is underscored while recognizing the challenges of developing standardized protocols in this evolving field. Finally, future research directions are outlined, focusing on the standardization of diagnostic criteria, prevalence studies, neurobiological investigations, and the integration of cultural competency in treatment approaches. In conclusion, this review paper aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of hypersexual disorder and its implications for affected individuals and society. By exploring the multifaceted aspects of the condition, this review seeks to provide insights into effective treatment approaches and inspire further research in the study of hypersexual disorder.
Contentious Reconstructions: Scholarship, Conflict, and State Reconfiguration in Sierra Leone, 1990–2002
Authors: Rashid Ismail
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT: The process of state failure, war, conflict resolution, and state reconfiguration in Sierra Leone between 1990 and 2002 was not a linear narrative but a complex, and sometimes indecipherable, script. Historical contingency and expediency were as important as the claims, ideas, plans, and policies of all of the different actors in the script. Over its duration, scholars provided varying interpretations of the Sierra Leone war that raised issues of ownership, power, representation and agency, and the relationship between insiders and outsiders. The article explores the extent to which these interpretations actually captured concrete historical realities on the ground. It points out not only the dissonances in interpretations of outsiders and insiders, but also highlights that in many instances, the scholarly analysis lagged behind or misinterpreted the unfolding phenomenon on the ground.
Is Peirce’s Reduction Thesis Gerrymandered?
Authors: Koshkin Sergiy
Published: September 2023

Abstract: We argue that traditional formulations of the reduction thesis that tie it to privileged relational operations do not suffice for Peirce’s justification of the categories and invite the charge of gerrymandering to make it come out as true. We then develop a more robust invariant formulation of the thesis, one that is immune to that charge, by explicating the use of triads in any relational operations. The explication also allows us to track how Thirdness enters the structure of higher order relations and even to propose a numerical measure of it. Our analysis reveals new conceptual phenomena when negation or disjunction are used to compound relations.
Neuro-Rights and New Charts of Digital Rights: A Dialogue Beyond the Limits of the Law
Authors: Yuste Rafael , de la Quadra-Salcedo Tomás
Published: September 2023

Abstract: In this article, the authors address some of the most pressing issues that stem from the relationship between the technological advancements of the twenty-first century and legal regulation. The development of neurotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI), while offering considerable opportunities for the betterment of social life, also poses unprecedented risks. These challenges manifest in a wide variety of topics. Areas such as human rights treaties, antitrust law, property law, and labor law are affected by these developments. The risks associated with the unregulated use of neurotechnology and AI do not cease at the sectorial stage. Some of the values upon which current democratic systems and governance models are built could be equally threatened. In anticipation of the harming potential of unmitigated technological advances, some governments and international institutions have enacted legal provisions to regulate the current digital landscape. These normative instruments, including the Chilean Constitutional Amendment and European Charts of Digital Rights, are also analyzed in the following pages. The purpose of this article is not purely descriptive, but rather to spark a debate among legal scholars and experts in their respective fields. The approach followed here, dialogical in its nature, may provide a model for further collaboration. It is the authors' understanding that the regulation of neurotechnology and AI requires an interdisciplinary approach that is transnational in its scope.
ARCHITECTS OF KNOWLEDGE, BUILDERS OF POWER: CONSTRUCTING THE KAABU "EMPIRE", 16
TH

TH
CENTURIES
Authors: Green Toby
Published: September 2023

Abstract: This paper re-examines the history of the Kaabu Federation and the ways in which historians have construed it. A range of sources are examined, some of which are new to the study of Kaabu. These include published travel accounts, masking traditions in Casamance, data on the "ethnicities" of slaves in the Americas, and documents from the Arquivo Historico Ultramarino in Lisbon. The consideration of these sources supports the hypothesis that the notion of a Kaabu "empire" was a projection and legacy of the 20th-century European imperial project in Africa, and that much more complex dynamics of alliances and political ties were at work in the construction of the Kaabu polity. This warns us to beware at every stage of accepted ideas concerning pre-colonial African polities, which even today are all too often discussed unfiltered through the lens of the 20th-century preconceptions through which they were constructed. Dans cet article, l'auteur propose une nouvelle étude de l'histoire de la fédération de Kaabu et de la façon dont celle-ci fut interprétée par les historiens. Dans ce but, il utilise de nombreuses sources, dont certaines n'ont encore jamais été utilisées pour l'étude du Kaabu. On trouve parmi celles-ci des récits de voyage, les traditions liées aux masques en Casamance et des informations sur l'identité ethnique des esclaves en Amérique, ainsi que des documents du Arquivo Historico Ultramarino, à Lisbonne. L'analyse de ces sources développe l'hypothèse que la notion même d'un "empire" du Kaabu est construite et héritée de l'impérialisme européen du XXe siècle en Afrique, Une dynamique bien plus complexe régissait en effet les liens et alliances politiques dans le Kaabu. Il faut donc constamment se méfier des idées reçues sur les états africains précoloniaux. En effet, celles-ci sont souvent prises sans distance critique alors qu'elles découlent des préjugés du XXeme siècle.
On the Uses of Biblical Poetics: Protestant Hermeneutics and American Jewish Self-Fashioning
Authors: Levinson Julian
Published: September 2023

Abstract: This article shows how new trends in Protestant biblical hermeneutics in nineteenth-century America helped to raise the cultural status of modern-day Jews, while inspiring bold new directions in American Jewish literary culture. The interpretive framework under discussion emerged in the work of Bishop Robert Lowth and Johann Gottfried Herder, whose studies of biblical poetry became highly influential in the United States when they were both published at the height of the Second Great Awakening. By reconceptualizing biblical poetry (especially in the works of the biblical prophets) as sublime art, their approach created the possibility for valorizing the biblical tradition for its aesthetic power alongside its religious teachings. Since Jews were commonly seen as continuous with biblical Israel, this approach meant that Jews could be seen as heirs to a glorious literary tradition, a point that American Jewish poets, such as Emma Lazarus, emphasized when they launched their own poetic experiments modeled on the biblical prophets.
Discursive Corporeality: A Reading of Bodies in The Old Drift
Authors: Semphere Takondwa Priscilla
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT: Namwali Serpell’s The Old Drift (2019) is decidedly about bodies of varied shapes and sizes, with beauty and without, bodies with the most enchanting and peculiar conditions, feverish bodies, withering in the throes of disease. Even commerce and enterprise in the novel are largely predicated on bodies; bodies that dig trenches and die in dams, economies that revolve around the scalps of women. In its presentation of bodies that operate and interact in ways that are as complex as the bodies themselves, it raises questions about how we read and consider women’s bodies in African literature. This essay is a reflection on the discursive agency of the bodies of Sibilla, Agnes, and Matha—the novel’s grandmothers. In particular, it contends with their dialectics, paradoxes, and fragmented nature of these bodies.
A Black Golfer’s Career Comes Full Circle: The Resiliency of Lee Elder
Authors: Skelton Lucas
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT: On April 8, 2021, legendary golfer Lee Elder stepped onto the first tee as an honorary starter at the historic Augusta National Golf Club—a club where 45 years prior he became the first Black golfer to integrate the Masters Tournament. As a participant at the 1975 Masters, Elder was the recipient of death threats and was forced to keep security close by for precautionary measures. In 2021, after a storied career, Elder returned to Augusta and was received in a more welcoming fashion. This article explores the career of Elder, including the golfer’s challenging upbringing, transition to the PGA, and participation in the 1975 Masters. Emphasis will be given to Augusta’s rationale to anoint Elder as an honorary starter. The article will also integrate the concept of resiliency to suggest that Elder’s success and ability to play golf through the most trying of racial circumstances is a testament to the golfer’s resiliency.
İZMİR VE TİRE MÜZESİ TERRAKOTTA ÖRTÜLÜ KADINLAR FİGÜRİNLERİ
Authors: EROL Derya
Published: September 2023

Çalışma konusu olarak seçilen İzmir ve Tire Müzesi terrakotta kolleksiyonları içerisindeki örtülü kadın figürinleri Antik Yunan dünyasında ilk olarak İ.Ö.4 yy.da Boeiotia bölgesindeki Tanagra yerleşiminde ortaya çıkmıştır. Antik Yunan kadınlarının günlük yaşamlarına ilişkin önemli bulgular sunan bu figürinlerin üretimleri dini amaçlıdır. Demeter ya da Artemis gibi kadınlarla ilişkili tanrıçaların tapınaklarına sunu olarak bırakılmaktaydı. Aynı zamanda Yunanlı kadınlarının mezarlarına da çok sayıda konulmaktaydı. İzmir ve Tire Müzesi örnekleri, satın alma yolu ile Müzeye alınmaları nedeni ile üretim bölgeleri ya da bölgedeki kültlerle ilişkisi tam olarak belirlenememektedir. Bu bağlamda figürinlerin stil özellikleri incelenerek Terrakotta örtülü kadın figürün tipinde üretimde bulunan önemli merkezlerdeki tiplerle benzerlikleri farklılıkları sorgulanmış ve hangi atölye ürünü olabilecekleri irdelenerek bu konuda öneriler geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada incelenen figürinlerin stil özellikleri incelendiğinde şu sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Çalışma konusu olan figürinlerinden İzmir Müzesi kolleksiyonu dahilindeki 8607 envanter numaralı örneğin gösterdiği tüm stil özellikleri ile İ.Ö.4.yy.’a tarihlendirilerek Tanagra üretimi figürinlerden birisi olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Tanagra atölyelerinin üretimlerinin en önemli ticaret alanlarından birisi Batı Anadolu olmuştur. 3164 numaralı örnek, İ.Ö.3 yy içerisine tarihlendirilmekle birlikte gösterdiği stil özellikleri ile Ionia’daki atölyelerden birisinde olabileceği önerilmektedir. Figür oldukça kaliteli bir işçilik göstermekle birlikte Ionia bölgesindeki hangi atölyede üretilebileceğine ilişkin net bir bulgu bulunamamıştır. Bu bağlamda Ionia’da nitelikli bir işçilikle üretim yapan bir atölye üretimi olduğu önerilmiştir. Tire Müzesi Kolleksiyonu dahilindeki terrakotta örtülü kadın figürinleri, İ.Ö.3-2 yy ‘da üretilmişler ve Pergamon üslubunun tüm özelliklerini göstermektedir. Tire buluntuları daha çok yerel bir atölye üretimi olabilecek figürinlerdir. Mezar için daha düşük gelirli kişiler için üretilmiş olabilecekleri gibi Artemis ve Demeter tapınakları için sunu olarak da sunulmuş olabilecekleri düşünülmektedir. Çalışma konusu örtülü kadın figürinleri, Hellenistik dönemde Batı Anadolu’da Kıta Yunanistan ile paralel ilerleyen bir kült geleneğinin devam ettiğini gösteren bulgular sunmuştur.
Âşık Davut Sulari Türkülerinin Müzik Öğretim Programlarında Belirtilen Değerler Açısından İncelenmesi ve Tema Analizleri
Authors: ÇİFTCİ Ersan , İLHAN Serap Yağmur
Published: September 2023

Çalışmanın amacı değerler eğitimi açısından Âşık Davut Sulari türkülerinin incelenmesi ve tema analizlerinin yapılmasıdır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Âşık Davut Sulari’ye ait TRT Türk Halk Müziği repertuvarında yer alan ve almayan ulaşılabilen 200 türkü oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada, Âşık Davut Sulari’nin türkülerinde yer alan değer un-surlarını belirlemeye yönelik nitel yöntemlerden içerik analizi ve belgesel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, Sulari’nin türküleri MEB İlköğretim ve Ortaöğretim Müzik Dersi Öğretim Programlarında yer alan 10 kök değer (adalet, dostluk, dürüstlük, öz dene-tim, sabır, saygı, sevgi, sorumluluk, vatanseverlik ve yardımseverlik) ve temaları açısından analiz edilmiştir.

Background: Caffeine and Vitamin C, key component in foods and beverages, have been investigated for potential haematological disease prevention. Aim: To lend credence to the above studies, the current study in Wistar rats evaluated the effects of caffeine and vitamin C in the management of haematological disorders in rats. Methods: Experimental animals were divided into three experimental phases (anaemic, leukocytopenic, and thrombocytopenic phases). Interventions with caffeine and vitamin C during anaemic, leukocytopenic, and thrombocytopenic phases were initiated for two weeks. Haematological parameters were all tested. All test, statistics were run using the Graph Pad Prism 8.1 at a confidence level of 0.05 or less (p-value). Results: After analysis, caffeine and vitamin C shows a significant increase in RBC, PCV, Hb count in the anaemic treated rats when compared to control. Similarly, there was a significant increase in platelet count in the thrombocytopenic treated rats when compared to untreated thrombocytopenic group. There was also a significant increase in monocyte, lymphocyte and neutrophil counts in leukocytopenic animals compared to luukocytopenic group untreated. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study suggests that caffeine and vitamin C have haemoprotective effects against anaemic, leukocytopenic and thrombocytopenic conditions.

During the pandemic in early 2022, some Muslim congregants chose to close ranks while others kept their distance during prayers and non-ritual activities. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the behavior patterns of congregants during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically at the Great Mosque of Al-Ukhuwwah-Bandung in West Java. The method used involves (1) mapping techniques to observe the congregants' behavior, (2) distributing questionnaires to validate their comfort level with interpersonal space and adherence to health protocols, (3) analyzing the questionnaire results, and (4) drawing conclusions based on the observed behavior patterns and questionnaire analysis results. The research shows that during the Omicron period, the congregants tended to revert to their pre-pandemic behavior patterns, with intimate and personal distance being dominant during ritual and non-ritual activities, respectively. However, the questionnaire results suggest that congregants still adhere to social distancing protocols during activities in the mosque, despite implementing health protocols.

Published: September 2023

Lajunya pembangunan yang semakin gempar dilakukan di daerah perkotaan dapat menyebabkan kerapatan bangunan dan kerapatan vegetasi berbanding terbalik, dimana kerapatan bangunan semakin tinggi sedangkan kerapatan vegetasi semakin rendah. Dampak dari perubahan inilah yang akhirnya dapat memicu terjadinya permasalahan lingkungan seperti banjir dan longsor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan transformasi spasial kerapatan vegetasi dan bangunan di Kecamatan Wenang dan Wanea dalam kurun waktu 8 tahun berdasarkan citra landsat menggunakan tools ArcGis dengan metode Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) dan Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI) serta mengidentifikasi pengaruhnya terhadap bencana banjir dan longsor. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kerapatan vegetasi dan bangunan dalam selang waktu 8 tahun mengalami penurunan vegetasi dan peningkatan bangunan, keduanya juga memiliki pengaruh terhadap terjadinya banjir dan longsor berdasarkan dari besarnya masing-masing indeks vegetasi dan bangunan. Semakin tinggi indeks bangunan di lokasi penelitian maka rentan terjadi banjir dan semakin tinggi indeks vegetasinya maka rentan terjadi longsor.

Published: September 2023

Thermal comfort in buildings is determined by several aspects of the climate, such as external and internal wind speeds. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the effect of water elements and vegetation as microclimate modifiers in buildings, to obtain thermal comfort through air velocity and flow analysis. In this context, the field analysis emphasized microclimate parameters. Two cases were also encompassed, namely the interior space of a residential building and a shopping center. By using field measurements with quantitative methods, data were obtained through the analysis of the PMV (thermal comfort index Predicted Mean Vote), PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied), and TSV (Thermal Sensation Vote). This experiment was conducted to determine the influential levels of the building water and vegetation on comfort and the thermal environment. Data analysis was also processed using a statistical approach, with airflow being simulated through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. The results showed that the air movement occurring in the building to the comfort and thermal environment, through architectural elements, reduced the temperature and humidity in the room. This was due to the heat radiation outside the building, leading to an impact on the effective air temperature for the thermal sensation of visitors. In this case, the movement of air in the building with the placement of architectural elements, such as water, vegetation, and good ventilation, was important for various activities. These activities included the following, (1) providing positive value, (2) improving the quality of the indoor environment, (3) maintaining the stability of the thermal environment at the building scale, and (4) achieving a comfortable thermal sensation.
Dutch architectural learning process of the Dutch East Indies
Authors: Adiyanto Johannes
Published: September 2023

This research concentrates on the architectural process of Dutch architects in the Dutch East Indies, specifically Maclaine Pont, Thomas Karsten, and Wolff Schoemaker. The issue addressed by these three people is how they learned, particularly their reaction to the conditions and wealth of buildings in the Dutch East Indies, and what drove each of their architectures. This study employs a synchronic-diachronic analytic strategy as well as a historical interpretation strategy based on contextual evidence categories. It runs from 1900 to 1940. According to the study's findings, all three encounters through the same learning process, which includes the introduction phase, the exploration phase, and the architectural attitude phase. The architectural perspective was expressed at Maclaine Pont through the design of a tent structure system based on studies of Javanese pavilion roofs, whereas Karsten and Schoemaker referenced modern architecture. Karsten was fascinated by people's daily lives, whereas Schoemaker thought Frank Lloyd Wright's style was the most recent at the time.
Creating virtual architectural education in a traditional environment: Prospects and challenges

Published: September 2023

The advent of computer technology has set off an information explosion that has changed civilization and indeed the entire workforce of today’s world. These changes presage a new context in which architecture schools must function. Traditionally, architectural education is basically between a group of persons; the teacher and the learner(s) in a defined classroom space. This mode of knowledge delivery makes the students to adopt a passive position (based on just listening to the teacher). This prevents the diversity of ideas, promotes repetitive learning and kills creativity. Virtual education on the other hand refers to instruction in a learning environment where teacher and student are separated by time or space, or both. In this knowledge delivery mode, students’ take responsibility of their learning process in an active way. Multimedia tools, electronic media like a discussion forum, chat room, voice mail, and e-mail are employed for communication. The benefits inherent in this type of learning process include sharing of resources and learning environment, promotion of collaborative learning, effective education delivery and educational programme enhancement. In this paper, the concept “virtual architectural education” is considered together with the inherent benefits for the architecture schools and profession.
