Kur’ân Kıssaları ve Hz. Peygamber’in Sîreti Bağlamında Sûreleri Tarihlendirme Denemesi -Nûh Kıssası ve Hicret Örneği-
Authors: ERDOĞAN Elif
Published: December 2023

İslamiyet öncesi Mekke’de yarattıklarına uzak olan ve onlarla konuşmayan bir tanrı anlayışı ve bunun bir sonucu olarak adına konuşanların otorite sayıldığı bir toplum hâkimdi. Böyle bir topluma içinde bulundukları hali değiştirmeleri ve bozulan tevhid inancının yeniden inşası için Kitap ve Peygamber gönderilmiştir. Şirk içerisinde yaşayan bu toplumun, yaratıcı olarak kabul ettikleri yüce bir Allah inancı olmasına rağmen bu yaratıcı onların hayatında edilgen durumdaydı. Böyle bir topluma Allah, yirmi üç yıl boyunca tedricen ve bir düzen içerisinde vahyetti. Böylelikle vahyin başlamasıyla beraber lafzın otoritesi merkezi konuma geçmeye başladı. Otoriteyi kaybetmek istemeyen Mekkeli müşriklerin konuşan değil, adına konuşulan bir Allah tasav-vuru işlerine geliyordu. Yanı sıra Allah’ın konuşmasının nesnel hale gelişi olarak değerlendirilecek Hz. Pey-gambere itirazları da onun şahsına yapılan itirazlar değildi. Esasen Hz. Peygamberin ulaştırdığı Allah kelamı-na şiddetle itiraz ediyorlardı. Allah’ın kelamı ise yerden bağımsız bir şekilde olmayıp ortamda yaşanılan du-rumlara uygun olarak Nâzil oluyordu. Kur’ân, o zaman ve mekânı (hicaz bölgesi), orada yaşayan toplumun dünya görüşünü ve varlık tasavvurlarını bir enstrüman olarak kullanmaktadır. Bu minvalde değer yükleyici formda tasviri bir dil kullanan Kur’ân’ın kullandığı enstrümanlardan birisi de kıssalardır. Kıssalarda şahıs ve yer isimlerine, tarihlere ve benzeri ayrıntılara çok fazla yer verilmemesi, Kur’ân’ın içerisinde ihbarî ifadeler bulunsa da esas itibariyle inşaî olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu makalenin amacı Nûh kıssası örneği ile Kur’ân’ın içerisinde ihbarî ifadeler bulunsa da aslında bir bütün olarak inşaî olduğunun ortaya konması ve bununla da Kur’ân’ın anlaşılması meselesine bir katkı sağlanmasıdır. Kıssaların sîret ile ilişkisinin tespitinde ise sûre ve âyetlerin tarihlendirilmesi meselesi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Makalede Nûh kıssasının, sîret bağlamın-da anlaşılmasına, nassın mesajının ve inceliklerinin tespit edilmesine, hangi konu ve döneme ilişkin bir vasıta olarak kullanıldığının tespitine çalışılacaktır. Genel olarak Kur’ân’ın peyderpey indirilmesinin hikmeti olarak teşrideki konular ifade edilse de Kur’ân’ın tedriciliğinin sadece teşride değil tüm süreçte olduğu iddiası ile Nûh kıssanın inananları hicret olgusuna tedricen hazırladığının işaretleri ortaya konulacaktır.

Rain is one of the most important climatic elements, but its existence spatially and temporally is still difficult to predict. Apart from being dynamic, the physical processes involved are also very complex. This rainfall uncertainty is getting bigger when climate anomalies occur in the form of El Nino and La Nina. To determine the changes in the el nino index when it rains, in this study a cross-correlation coefficient method with time lag on rain events will be carried out by utilizing data from observational data at the location of the BMKG Sam Ratulangi Meteorological Station. This method used a tool to predict the connection of a data series x (input) with data y (output) in a system. In order to perform a cross-correlation analysis, the two series must be sampled at the same time interval. The secondary data on rainfall and the El Nino index obtained by the researcher have a time interval of half an hour and start from 7 am to 6 pm. The correlation coefficient value of the El Nino index with rainfall in 2015 shows a coefficient value of -0.26467, in 2016 it shows an efficiency value of -0.43383, in 2017 it shows a coefficient value of 0.37771.

Christian motives in Soviet cinema
Authors: Mahler A. M.
Published: December 2023

The paper highlights the history of emergence and development of Christian motives in Soviet cinema, from the times of persecution against the Church in 1920–1930 up to the era of Perestroika. There is a difference in the perception of Christianity as the basis of traditional ethno-cultural identity and as the basis of universal moral values, which in both cases contributed to the gradual legitimization of Christian subjects in Soviet culture in spite of the multilevel system of ideological censorship. This paper analyzes the deep ideological trends in the evolution of Soviet culture, which allowed, on the one hand, the atheistic authorities themselves and, on the other hand, the experimenting filmmakers to address the topic of religion in general, Christianity in particular and specifically the Russian Orthodox Church in different ways in different periods of Soviet history. The illustrative examples of using various Christian symbols, Biblical quotations, events of religious history, the representation of the image of a Christian priest and a believer as such in Soviet films, as well as the increasingly noticeable appeal of Soviet filmmakers to Christian associations and allusions are also shown here. The author pays special attention to contradictory ideological trends during the three basic periods of Soviet history in the second half of the twentieth century: The Khrushchev Thaw, the Era of Stagnation and Perestroika. All three contributed to the legitimization of religious themes in Soviet cinema and determined the specifics of the attitude to religion in the late Soviet period. The films by such directors as Mikhail Romm, Marlen Khutsiev, Andrei Tarkovsky, Michael Kalik, Andrei Konchalovsky, Nikita Mikhalkov, Gleb Panfilov and others are considered in the paper as the most significant precedents. Hypotheses are put forward about further ideological strategies of the Soviet state regarding Orthodox Christianity, if the Communist Party had been able to retain its power.
The Impact of Seasonal Anomalies on MSCI’s Selected Economies’ Stock Index Returns
Authors: Rabia Sabri  , Muhammad AsadUllah  , Masood
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This article explores the effect on four developing Asian financial markets on the day of this week (volatility).

Methodology: Regular market return data are gathered in their specific index from MSCI's selected economies, such as China, India, Malaysia and Pakistan. Yahoo's financial platform gathered index info. The selected sampling duration is between 2 May 2013 and 29 November 2017. The observational study was undertaken and the findings were concluded by the usage of a regression model to analyze day of consequence and the GARCH model to monitor conditional variance.

Findings: These findings suggest that all stock returns and volatility are substantially impacted by the day of the week in three nations, but both the return and the volatility result in each of the four cases are not similar. An investor may make abnormal gains by betting on a previously accessible information-based approach and investors may obtain invaluable insights into investment decisions.

Conclusion: If investors are conscious of this, they will adjust their investments in view of these shifts in stock returns.

The researcher has employed the calculation of the observation from self-design 100 questionnaires which were filled by Muslim commercial bank employees in all over Karachi, all result have significant impact at 5% alpha.

 On the basis of data, it can be concluded that the determinants of the independent variable of the current dissertation have a significant impact on employee loyalty. Moreover, all of the three independent variables have been accepted. Therefore, it is feasible to suggest that the organization should focus on the prevailing variables for enhancing the performance of the organization and driving the optimal outcome for securing the leading position in the industry.
Comparison between drone (UAV) and open satellite imagery for brazilian geographically isolated wetlands analysis
Authors: Furlan Lucas Moreira , Bovi Renata Cristina , Rosolen Vania
Published: December 2023

In Brazil, where approximately 20% of the territory is covered by wetlands, these environments serve various socio-environmental roles, such as water storage, aquifer recharge, and carbon sequestration. Despite their importance, wetland ecosystems have been adversely affected globally, primarily due to agricultural expansion. Small inland wetlands in the Paulista Peripheral Depression are numerous, characterized by a circular-oval shape, seasonal hydroperiods, and legal protection or proximity to agriculture, notably sugarcane fields. Addressing the challenge of managing small inland wetlands requires integrating long-term monitoring with qualitative and quantitative data at various spatial and temporal scales. This study employs non-invasive imaging techniques for surface characterization, emphasizing the importance of low-cost monitoring in Brazil. The study compares imaging of a small inland wetland in São Paulo's Peripheral Depression using different resolutions from the CBERS 04A satellite, Planet satellite, and UAV DJI Phantom 4 PRO V2. The comparison assesses the effectiveness of different resolutions in capturing wetland dynamics. The satellite data proves extremely effective for delimitation and identification studies of wetlands, while UAVs show excellent results for monitoring. This observation highlights the complementarity of these technologies in addressing environmental issues, where satellite data provides a comprehensive and stable view for analyzing large areas, while UAVs offer a more detailed and dynamic perspective in specific monitoring activities. The combined use of these platforms can enhance the ability to monitor and manage ecosystems like wetlands, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of their dynamics and contributing to conservation and sustainable management strategies.

Published: December 2023

This study aimed to compare two gingival displacement and isolation techniques: rubber dam with sub-gingival clamps and retraction cord with cotton rolls. The study also assessed the factors influencing patients' preference for one method, including the need for anesthesia, gingival bleeding, gingival laceration, post-operative spontaneous sensitivity, and time consumption. The study was conducted as a randomized control trial with 34 patients, each with one pair of comparable non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) on opposing sides of the same arch. A total of 68 restorations were placed, with each patient receiving one restoration using a retraction cord with cotton rolls (RC/CR) and the other using a rubber dam (RD) with sub-gingival clamps. Four dentists with at least five years of clinical experience under the supervision of two dental consultants with more than 14 years of clinical experience carried out the procedures to ensure uniformity in technique and assessment. The preferences of the patients were noted, and gingival bleeding, gingival laceration, spontaneous sensitivity, time consumed to apply RD and RC/CR, and the need for anesthesia were recorded immediately after the procedure. Two weeks later, gingival laceration and gingival bleeding were assessed again. Statistical analysis was performed on each criterion evaluated using a t-test, Chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney test with a significance level of P ≤ 0.05. The results showed statistically significant differences between the RD group and the RC/CR group in terms of patients' preference (P=0.0000), post-operative gingival laceration (P=0.0032), need for anesthesia (P=0.0000), and time of application (P=0.0000). 76% of patients preferred rubber dams with sub-gingival clamps. Gingival laceration, discomfort, and increased time of application were recorded in the RC/CR group. Spontaneous sensitivity reported by patients post-operatively (P=0.7204), gingival tissue laceration assessed after two weeks (P=1.0000), and gingival bleeding assessed immediately (P=0.6891) and in follow-up visits (P=1.0000) were insignificant in both groups. In conclusion, patients preferred rubber dam with sub-gingival clamps due to more comfort, lesser gingival tissue injury, and lesser time of application.

Advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things provide an integrated platform for weather focusing, including rainfall and flood prediction. Large rainfall data frequently contain noise, which can be difficult to analyze using a standard time series model due to violated assumptions. Singular spectrum analysis (SSA) is a model-free time series analysis method that is widely used. This study aims to predict the rainfall trends in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using the Recurrent SSA (SSA-R) and Vector SSA (SSA-V). The SSA-R forecasts using the recurrent continuation directly with the linear recurrent formula, while the SSA-V is a modified recurrent method. This study used 50 years of monthly rainfall data (1970-2019) from 25 stations in the special region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The SSA steps for forecasting rainfall data include decomposition (embedding and singular value decomposition), reconstruction (grouping and diagonal averaging), and evaluating the SSA model using w-correlation (if w-correlation is close to zero, returning to the decomposition stage; otherwise, continue the process), forecasting, evaluating the forecast results using root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error, r, and mean forecast error, and finally selecting the best model (either the SSA-R or SSA-V model). The results showed that the SSA-R performed better than SSA-V due to the smallest RMSE in the dry, rainy, and inter-monsoon seasons. The SSA-R model’s forecast results revealed faint, constant patterns for the dry, and rainy seasons and an increasing pattern for the inter-monsoon season. The novelty of this study is to compare the performance of the SSA-R and SSA-V models in the large rainfall data in the special region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Background: Intergluteal pilonidal disease (IPD) is a common chronic disease occurring in the natal cleft of the sacrococcygeal region. This disease may drastically decrease the quality of life, and lead to incapacity for work for up to several months. Various treatment methods are described in the literature, however, each of the methods has its privileges and disadvantages, and no final recommendations are available regarding a superior surgical treatment method. The present study aimed to contribute to filling the gap in the knowledge regarding the superiority of the available surgical techniques used in the treatment of IPD.
Methods: The short-term outcomes of two surgical treatment options for IPD, namely the Karydakis procedure (n = 32) and the Marsupialization technique (n = 33), were retrospectively compared. The duration of complete scar formation, the rate of short-term postoperative complications, the persistence of postoperative pain and the recurrence rate during 3-month postoperative follow-up were investigated. The study was based on a retrospective analysis of data extracted from medical records of adult male patients treated for IPD.
Results: The Karydakis procedure was found to be superior in terms of all the abovementioned parameters, except for the rate of short-term postoperative complications, where the two surgical techniques showed comparable results.
Conclusions: The results of this retrospective study suggest that marsupialization technique could be mostly replaced by the Karydakis procedure in surgical practice. The latter appears to be associated with a faster return to daily activities and more cost effective.

Parole members are tasked with deciding which incarcerated person is granted parole; however, factors such as the incarcerated person’s gender identity in combination with the crime committed could negatively affect this decision. This study investigated the effects of the incarcerated person’s gender identity (male, female, nonbinary) and crime committed (sexual assault, theft/larceny) on mock parole members’ decisions and perceptions of the incarcerated person. MTurk participants (N = 467) acted as mock parole board members. Participants read vignettes describing an incarcerated person eligible for parole, and participants rated their likelihood to release the incarcerated person and perception of the incarcerated person. We found that the incarcerated person’s gender identity affected participants’ parole decisions and perceptions of the incarcerated person, such that, in general, male incarcerated people were perceived more negatively than nonbinary and female incarcerated people, and female incarcerated people were perceived the most positively. Crime severity also affected parole decisions, such that incarcerated people who commit a crime of sexual assault were less likely to receive parole and were perceived the most negatively compared to incarcerated people who commit a crime of theft/larceny. There was no interaction between the incarcerated person’s gender identity and crime severity. This study can provide insight on perceptions of nonbinary incarcerated people, and how these perceptions compare to binary incarcerated people.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of learning through the Science, Evironment, Technology and Society (SETS) approach in quantitative experimental research models on learning outcomes. In addition, this analytical research focuses on science learning at the elementary, middle, high school and tertiary levels. The method used to analyze the effectiveness of the SETS-based learning approach is the researcher measuring the effect size of the research articles about the differences or effects of learning with approaches to science, environment, technology, and society and student learning outcomes in science learning both in physics, chemistry, biology, earth and space sciences and science lessons. The type of research used is meta-analysis using data tabulation sheets and instruments analyzed using openMEE software. There were 83 articles selected, however, there were 22 articles that were relevant and in accordance with the research segmentation with a range of publications in the last 5 years (2018 – 2022). The average effect size obtained from each article is high (large effect) so it is interpreted that there is a significant influence between the SETS-based learning approach variables and student learning outcomes in learning science. The research results can provide a reference for teachers that SETS-based learning is very relevant given to students during the learning process.
