Citation and Referencing Practices in Argumentative Essay Writing by Upper-Intermediate EFL Students
Authors: Kapranov Oleksandr
Published: January 2024

One of the critical skills that undergraduate students of English as a Foreign language (EFL) should master involves their ability to write an argumentative essay, which is adequately supported by credible sources, such as scientific articles, books, and online materials. Arguably, a successful argumentative essay reflects EFL students’ genre-appropriate citation practices that, according to Swales (1990), involve several discursive realisations of citation (for instance, integral, non-integral, etc.) in the text. The article presents a study whose aim is to learn about citation and referencing practices in a corpus of argumentative essays written by a group of undergraduate EFL students on the upper-intermediate level of EFL proficiency (henceforth – participants). Anchored in the theoretical framework developed by Swales (1986, 1990), the participants’ citation and referencing practices in the corpus were identified and quantified. The results of the quantitative analysis revealed that the participants preferred the non-integral type of citation, where the author/authors cited are mentioned at the end of the citation in the parentheses. The participants’ referencing practices were found to be dominated by books and book chapters published by a number of reputable domestic publishing houses.
CATing the Way: Polish Translators and Computer-Assisted Translation Tools
Authors: Organ Michał
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to establish a profile of Polish translators who apply CAT tools in their professional practice. The investigation identifies six primary categories, shedding light on the translators themselves, their experience, and interactions with specialised software. The first category delves into demographic data, analysing age groups and gender distribution among the users. The second category focuses on basic data encompassing the translators' experience with programs and their preferred foreign languages. The paper also explores the link between higher education and CAT tool proficiency, examining fields of study, educational institutions, specialised training, and opinions on the integration of this technology into academic curricula. In order to assess the non-academic aspects of learning and applying such software, it investigates the translators' engagement in training courses, certifications, and sources of qualifications improvement. Various methods for acquiring skills in CAT tools are also explored, such as online webinars and practical translation practice.The results reveal that the translators are rather experienced users of the software, they rely heavily on such programs, employing them in various types of translations, mostly non-literary texts. Translators perceive them positively, acknowledging their contribution to accelerating work processes and improving competitiveness in the translation market. The use of CAT tools is expected to increase, emphasising the need to incorporate these tools into translator training programs and adapt study plans to accommodate their further popularisation. The data was collected through an anonymous survey and provides insights into the preferences, habits, and perspectives of Polish translators using CAT tools. This paper serves as a foundation for further research and comparison with other translator groups, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the translator's profession in the context of translation technology utilisation.
Five Anastasiae and Two Febroniae: A Guided Tour in the Maze of Anastasia Legends. Part Two. The Roman Dossier. II. Anastasia Between Bassilla and Petronilla
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lourié Basil
Published: January 2024

The present article is a part of the study of the hagiographical dossier of St Anastasia, where the authors focus on three major problems: 1) the earliest Roman legends containing the name of Anastasia and other names occurring in her dossier; 2) the cult of the historical martyr in Sirmium that was lately transformed into the cult of St Anastasia; and 3) the place of the Anastasia church in the pre-Byzantine stational liturgy in Rome. The latter point involves a study of the original place, in the fifth-century stational liturgy of Rome, of the basilica Santa Maria Maggiore.
The Theme of the Immortality of the Soul in Plethon’s Philosophy (With the Translation of His Funerary Orations on Cleopa Malatesta and Helena Palaiologina)
Authors:   Sociological Institute of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Senina Tatyana
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The article examines the views of the last major Byzantine philosopher George Gemistos Plethon on the immortality of the human soul. Scholars are still debating whether Plethon was a pagan who completely rejected Christianity, or a Christian who was too fond of Platonism. Methods. Methods employed in this article are source research, information analysis, comparative research. Sources on the subject include: Plethon’s funeral orations on Cleopa Malatesta and on Helena Palaiologina, “Book of Laws”, commentaries on the Chaldean Oracles, “On the Differences of Aristotle from Plato”, “Summary of the Doctrines of Zoroaster and Plato”, “Áddress to the Despot Theodore on the Peloponnese”, Theodore Metochites’ treatise “On Education”. Analysis. An analysis of Plethon’s writings shows that in his doctrine of the human soul and its posthumous destiny Gemistos was far removed from Christianity. Plethon confessed the pre-existence of souls to bodies and metempsychosis, he considered life in body as the main human mission in universe, as a link and boundary between the mortal and immortal worlds. According to Plethon, permanent periodical connection of immortal and mortal (soul and body) in human is better, than endless immortality after one life. His doctrine about soul does not imply neither deification of body, nor bodily resurrection and terrible judgment at the end of time. Results. In Plethon’s monodies, his non-Christian views are expressed in a veiled way, but a careful analysis of the text of the monodies in comparison with the other works of the philosopher shows that his views on the destiny of the soul, on the one hand, were very different from those of the Christian Church, and on the other hand, they looked more optimistic, leaving the soul the opportunity both for gradual improvement in a series of rebirths, and for enjoying the divine life between them, subject to virtuous behavior on earth. Appendix. The article is accompanied by a Russian translation of Plethon’s monodies on Cleopa Malatesta and Helena Palaiologina.
The Question of Byzantine Armenia in “Ancient Armenian Geography” (or “Ashkharatsuyts”)
Authors:   Yerevan State University, Harutyunyan Hakob
Published: January 2024

Introduction. Until now, the issue of four Byzantine (Justinian) Armenias in historiography has been considered according to the data of the Byzantine historian of the 6th century Procopius of Caesarea, which does not give grounds for a final answer to the questions posed. Analysis. When comparing the data of Procopius with the information of “Ashkharatsuyts” (“Ancient Armenian Geography”), we find many discrepancies (especially when considering the contour of the borders of I, II and III Armenias). According to the “Ancient Armenian Geography”, the territory of I Armenia was expanded both at the expense of the other two, and at the expense of Cilicia and northwestern Syria. Results. So, under Emperor Justinian, a new defensive line was created, which we for the first time in historiography called the “Mamikonyan line”. One can rely on the information of Ashkharatsuyts almost without hesitation, since this work was written in the 5th – 7th centuries, and the lion’s share of the information was supplemented by the second author of the work, Anania Shirakatsi (it is convincingly proven that the first author was the father of Armenian historiography, Movses Khorenatsi). Justinian trusted the Mamikonyan family, being convinced that they had previously faithfully served the kings of Greater Armenia, the Arshakids, and was practically not mistaken in his calculations.
Images of Fish on Glazed Byzantine Ceramics of the 12th – 13th Centuries. Stylistic Groups
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology of Crimea of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Maiko Vadim
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The study of zoomorphic ornamental motifs on specific types of glazed ceramics is an important direction of Byzantine archeology. In this case, we will be interested in the images of fish that are found on some types of Byzantine glazed ceramics of the second half of 12th – second half of 13th century. Since the ceramic production of this group of vessels was a separate area, both the material and spiritual culture of the Byzantines, especially in the specified chronological period, it was chosen as the subject of research. The source base of the work is made up of all published and available materials of archaeological research, both Constantinople and the cities of the Byzantine provinces. Particular attention is paid to the correspondence of each of the highlighted images on a specific type of glazed ware to finds on the territory of medieval Taurica. Despite the publication of the material used, including the Crimean, these findings were not analyzed in the complex. Methods and materials. Standard methods of comparative stylistic analysis were used. Analysis. The use of a large number of sources allows for the first time to raise the question of the existence of several stylistic groups of fish within the same craft workshops. Results. The findings make it possible to distinguish five stylistic image groups and match them with two large groups of Byzantine glazed ceramics of Middle Byzantine Production, primarily Fine Sgraffito Ware and Incised Sgraffito or Aegean Ware. Images of fish on Cypriot ceramics are also briefly analyzed. The image of fish on the vessels of Italian workshops is a separate area of research and is not considered in the work.
The Recapture of Constantinople in 1261: An Accident or a Pattern?
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Barabanov Nikolay , Zolotovskiy Vladimir ,   Volgograd State University
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The recapture of Constantinople by a small detachment of Nicaeans in 1261 looks like an accident and the successful combination of circumstances for the Byzantines. However, we cannot accept this event as accidental. Of particular importance are the consistent conquering efforts of the Empire of Nicaea. In this case, the capture of the city should be considered as the final stage of a long and multifaceted military operation. The main objective of the article is the military-historical reconstruction of these events. The long-term military campaign of Michael VIII Palaiologos to conquer Constantinople is also of interest for the study of combat practice. In addition, it is of particular importance in the study of the Early Palaiologan military-strategic concept and the Late Byzantine military art in general. Methods. The reconstruction of the events of the long-term campaign to retake Constantinople is based on the use of all classical methods of historical research and a systematic approach. Analysis and results. The result of our research makes thinking that Constantinople was not taken by chance in 1261. The retaken of the capital was as a result of the implementation of the essentially insidious plan of Emperor Michael VIII. Lacking sufficient armed forces and means for a full-fledged siege of the city, the emperor twice tried to seize the capital of the Latin Empire. He counted on the effect of an internal factor in the form of treason or support for anti-Latin forces. It is quite obvious that the second option was successful. Authors’ contribution. N.D. Barabanov analyzed the event-chronological aspect of the campaign of Michael VIII in 1259–1261, while V.A. Zolotovskiy reconstructed the final military operation to capture Constantinople by Byzantine troops in 1261.
The Church and Internal Conflicts in Byzantium: The Catalans’ Presence in the Empire in the Early 14th Century According to the Correspondence of Athanasios I, Patriarch of Constantinople
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Lysikov Pavel
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The present research is related to the problem of the image of Other in Byzantine sources, but the focus is on its single aspect, namely the problem of the Byzantine attitude towards “the Latins” and, in particular, Western mercenaries which will be considered on the example of Athanasios I, patriarch of Constantinople’s (1289–1293, 1303–1309) relation to mercenaries of the Catalan Company staying for a long time (1303–1309) on the territory of the empire. It represents source analysis of the patriarch’s correspondence that is, we believe, the most underrated historical sources in this respect. Our goals are to find out the position of the Byzantine church towards the Catalan company and to determine the value of the Athanasios’ epistolary as a source for studying the Byzantine-Catalan conflict. The subject of research is 10 letters of Athanasios somehow reflecting his views on the Catalans’ presence in the empire. Methods and materials. The principles of the hermeneutic method allow us to interpret holistically the letters of the patriarch. Analysis and results. It is concluded that Athanasios who saw the Catalans, representatives of the West, as a threat to the existence of the Byzantine state and church from the very beginning was against their involvement in the empire to defend its eastern boundaries. After the Catalans’ arrival, three main themes can be distinguished in his criticism of them which the patriarch expressed in his letters sent mainly to the emperor: he opposed lawlessness and violence on their part towards the local population; warned the basileus about inadmissibility of the Catalans’ interference in state affairs; feared that their long stay in Byzantium would be harmful to the church and the Orthodox population in the ways that it was at the time of the Fourth Crusade and Latin Domination. These letters contain not much factual information but they allow to confirm and even complement data of other sources, mainly narrative ones, as well as to deepen our knowledge on relations between state and church in Byzantium under conditions of internal crisis in the early 14th century.
Enhanced Solutions to Intuitionistic Fuzzy Multiobjective Linear Fractional Optimization Problems via Lexicographic Method
Authors: Stanojević Bogdana , Pantelić Ognjen , Dzitac Simona
Published: January 2024

Optimization involving fuzzy numbers generally, and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers particularly is more and more an essential part of any computational intelligence method; and might be of interest in modeling fuzzy control systems, or carrying out a fuzzy sensitivity analysis. The recent literature includes many research papers related to both theoretical modelling, and practical implementation of fuzzy decision support systems. Fuzzy optimization is one of the main part in such decisionmaking tools.

A realistic solution to a fuzzy optimization problem is always desired, and similarly, a Pareto optimal solution to a multiple objective optimization problem is always a need. In this paper we analyze the shortcomings; and eliminate the weaknesses of a solution approach from the literature proposed by Moges et al. in 2023. Firstly, Moges et al. used an accuracy function to de-fuzzify the original intuitionistic fuzzy optimization problem; then linearized the obtained crisp problem; and finally involved fuzzy goals to solve the derived multiple objective linear problem.

We present two faulty key points of their approach, namely the de-fuzzification and linearization steps; prove the inappropriateness of their results; and propose some improvements. The final aim in addressing the first key point is to clarify the border between defuzzifications made in accordance to true theoretical statements, and those made for modeling reasons. The methodological improvement we propose is related to the second key point and it assures that Pareto optimal solutions - highly required in multiple objective optimization - are obtained. To illustrate our point of view, we use a numerical example from the literature, and report better numerical results derived by the improved methodology.

Published: January 2024

Background: Diabetic wounds are difficult to treat, causing persistent infections and often leading to limb amputation. One convenient way to manage diabetic wounds is by applying wound dressings. This study aimed to develop a wound dressing in form of a gel containing brown algae and binahong leaf extract for diabetic wound dressings.Methods:  This study was an experimental study conducted in the Organic Chemistry Laboratory of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia from June to September 2022. As many as 33 mice induced by alloxan were divided into 9 groups consisting of application of brown algae extract gel, binahong lead extract gel and a mixture of brown algae, and binahong leaf extract gel with the concentration of 2.5%, 5%, and 10% respectively. All treatments were given within 7 days. Laboratory data collected included phytochemical screening, total phenolic compound, antioxidant activity and organoleptic test.Results: Brown algae and binahong leaf extracts had a high total phenolic content of 331.25 mg GAE/g and 207.01 mg GAE/g, respectively with antioxidant activity of IC50 = 327.33 µg/mL and 209.30 µg/mL, respectively. It was found that brown algae and binahong leaf extracts could accelerate wound closure in a diabetic mouse model. Gel formulation with 10% w/w brown algae extracts presented 91.66% of wound closure, two times greater than treatment with commercial drugs.Conclusion:  The developed gel containing brown algae and binahong leaf extracts can be a promising wound dressing for healing diabetic wounds.

Background: In order to fulfil the requirements of the national immunization program and sustain the production capacity of the monovalent Hepatitis B vaccine, this study aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine (Bio Farma) using the new Hepatitis B bulk. Methods: This study was an experimental, randomized, double-blinded, and controlled Phase I clinical trial, with 100 healthy subjects divided into 50 adults and 50 adolescents. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either the Bio Farma registered Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine (group A) or a new source of Hepatitis B bulk (group B). Subjects received one or three doses of vaccine, depending on the baseline anti-Hbs titer. Subjects were given diary cards to record solicited and unsolicited adverse events for 28 days following vaccination. Vaccine immunogenicity was assessed by measuring the level of HBsAg antibody titer elevation.Results: No serious adverse events were reported during clinical trials. The frequencies of adverse events were not significantly different between the two vaccine-randomized groups. The most immediately observed local reaction was local pain, reported by 35.7–42.8% of adults and 24.0–26.3% of adolescents, without any systemic reactions. Seroconversion in adults in group B reached 100% and 78.5% in group A, meanwhile in adolescent subjects in both groups it reached 100%. A substantial increase in geometric mean titer (GMT) was observed in the majority of subjects after immunization.Conclusion: Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine with a new source of HBsAg B bulk is safe, well tolerated, and highly immunogenic.
(DES)CAMINHO DA UTFPR NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO MODELO BRASILEIRO DE UNIVERSIDADE TECNOLÓGICA
Authors: Pilatti Luiz Alberto , Lara Luiz Marcelo de
Published: January 2024

O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal compreender a evolução da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR) na construção do seu modelo de universidade tecnológica. Com um enfoque no panorama educacional brasileiro, o método empregado consistiu em uma análise crítica, baseada em uma síntese de estudos variados sobre a UTFPR. Esta análise combinou diferentes perspectivas, como a histórica, educacional e administrativa, para formar uma visão ampla, integrada e atualizada sobre as características, desafios e impactos da universidade. Através deste estudo, constatou-se uma perda de identidade da UTFPR, caracterizada por dificuldades em manter um ensino mais prático, uma pesquisa aplicada eficaz, uma transferência de tecnologia ativa e uma extensão tecnológica significativa. Este fenômeno foi discutido em relação às tendências nacionais e internacionais em educação tecnológica. Além disso, foi apontado um afastamento dos aspectos típicos de uma universidade tecnológica, particularmente em comparação com modelos internacionais de sucesso. A análise concluiu que o funcionamento diário da UTFPR diverge de seu modelo tecnológico original, tendendo mais para características de universidades tradicionais. Esse desvio é discutido em termos de suas implicações para o ensino, a pesquisa e a inovação no contexto brasileiro. Como resultado, observa-se um modelo tecnológico disfuncional para o contexto brasileiro, necessitando de uma revisão estratégica para realinhar a UTFPR com seu mandato original e com as exigências contemporâneas do ensino tecnológico.

Published: January 2024

The rapid development of information technology and the creation of an information society requires the trans-formation of all spheres of public life. Justice and the civil process remain unchanged, as the latest information technologies have become an indispensable tool in the field of justice for the effective governance and proper functioning of democracy, and on the other hand they remain a significant challenge. Given these circumstan-ces, it is important to analyze the features of the introduction of blockchain technology in civil proceedings and to explore points of contact on this issue. The work aims to study the place of blockchain in civil proce-edings, analysis of problematic issues, and prospects for the introduction of blockchain technologies in civil cases. The object of research is the points of сonvergence between the blockchain and the civil process. The subject of the study is the social relations that arise, change and end when using blockchain technologies in civil proceedings. The research methodology is a set of philosophical, general scientific, and special methods of scientific knowledge, such as comparative law, hermeneutic, historical, method of analysis, generalization, synthesis, and analogy. As a result of the research, international trends in the use of blockchain technologies in civil proceedings were analyzed, as well as attention was paid to national developments on the research topic. In addition, the article considers the institutions of civil procedural law, in which it is possible and appropriate to use blockchain technology. The use of this technology will significantly change the usual rules of civil proce-edings and may change the procedural guarantees of judges. Therefore, provided that blockchain technologies are used safely and in a coordinated manner in civil proceedings, the state will be able to modify the guarantees of justice, reduce the burden on the courts, unify judicial practice, and provide convenience for the parties.

A constituição histórica, a atividade socioeconômica e as correlações espaciais de cidades pequenas e médias implicam sobre como pensar o desenvolvimento regional. O artigo propõe uma correção espacial socioeconômica intraregional e um comparativo entre as regiões do Brejo Paraibano na Paraíba e do Médio Vale do Itajaí (MVI), em Santa Catarina. A metodologia aplicada consiste no modelamento de um índice de desenvolvimento socioeconômico. O índice foi aplicado para duas regiões brasileiras. Posteriormente, o Índice de Moran Global e Local foi calculado para aferição de associação espacial intrarregional. Os resultados encontrados identificaram uma correlação espacial no MVI e por consequência a identificação de uma cidade média, Blumenau, dada sua relevância socioeconômica na região. No Brejo Paraibano os resultados não apontaram correlação espacial. A partir das aferições estatísticas e das constatações acerca dos eventos históricos que levaram a presente conjuntura das correlações espaciais, concluiu-se que os contextos estudados demandam diferentes abordagens quanto ao direcionamento subsídios para alavancar o Desenvolvimento Regional.

Published: January 2024

In recent decades, sedentary behavior (SB) has come to be understood as an important public health problem. The confinement imposed by the COVID-19 has modified people’s lifestyle, including increased time in SB, which is a risk factor for several health problems. In this context, the aim of this study was to analyze the association between sociodemographic, behavioral and health conditions factors with SB in adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an observational and cross-sectional study that analyzed 510 Brazilians aged ≥ 18 years. Participants answered an online questionnaire containing sociodemographic, behavioral and health status information. Individuals with high SB had a lower level of physical activity (PA), higher scores of anxiety, depression and stress, perception of poor health and health problems. In Logistic Regression, model 1 showed that being insufficientlyactive(OR 1.96; 95% CI: 1.31 – 2.93), having poor health perception (OR 1.67; 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.57) and having a health problem (OR 1.79; 95% CI: 1.19 - 2.68) was associated with high SB. However, for model 2,only insufficient levels of PA (OR 1.78; 95% CI: 1.15 – 2.75) and health problem (OR 1.83; 95% CI: 1.10 - 3.05) remained associated with SB. These findings highlight the importance of staying physically active and reducing SB as a strategy for health promotion.

Published: January 2024

This paper aimsto clarify whether the concepts of Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing overlap or if there should be a proper definition for each one of them. Taking advantage of previous studies with students from two Polytechnical Institutes, conversational notions were used to form a questionnaire around the three topics above. The cooccurrences in the responses of the 43 subjects indicate that the central concept is Wellbeing, and that Health differs from Mental Health because it is closer to positive and negative ways of coping.
Innovando: dibujos animados como estrategia para mejorar la comprensión de las ciencias sociales en secundaria
Authors: Elvira Zorzo María Natividad , Florez Tovar Fredy
Published: January 2024

El área de las Ciencias Sociales pretende dar a entender los procesos culturales, sociales, políticos y económicos que acontecen en el espacio y el tiempo. Por lo tanto, abordar dichas temáticas en el aula, implica que en el currículo existan muchos temas, lo cual en cuanto a la percepción de los estudiantes se puede tornar monótono, memorístico y de difícil comprensión. Por consiguiente, se hace necesario estrategias didácticas que favorezcan el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Bajo esta perspectiva, el presente estudio tiene por objetivo valorar el impacto del empleo de la estrategia didáctica de los dibujos animados para mejorar la comprensión en las Ciencias Sociales en secundaria en la Institución educativa Distrital Grancolombiano (Bogotá-Colombia). El método empleado es el método inductivo, se empleó el enfoque mixto, que integra el método cualitativo y el método cuantitativo. Participaron 360 estudiantes de grado séptimo, de los cuales se clasificó una muestra de 128 estudiantes distribuidos entre el grupo control y grupo experimental. Los resultados del estudio muestranque los estudiantes lograron mejorar la comprensión de los aspectos económico y político desde las Ciencia Sociales. En cuanto a la comprobación de la hipótesis presenta una distribución normal, teniendo en cuenta la media aritmética obtenida del total de las preguntas µ= 22.4 y la desviación típica general = 19.7, lo que indica que la probabilidad de éxito de la hipótesis primaria es de 95% aproximadamente. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se abren nuevas líneas de investigación sobre otros ámbitos presentes en las Ciencia Sociales, e incluso se puede separar el manejo de las competencias de interpretación, relación, argumentación y proposición teniendo en cuenta el género y edad para estimar los niveles de comprensión y posibilitar la inclusión de diferentes dibujos animados con el fin de mejorar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
The Confiscation of Jewish-owned Pharmacies in Hungary
Authors: Magos Gergely
Published: January 2024

Hungarian society had to live through several cataclysms in the "long forties" (1938-1953). During this period, the independent middle class, and the bourgeoisie lost a significant part of its wealth. Pharmacists were not exempted from this process. In 1939 the Hungarian government decided to confiscate Jewish-owned pharmacies. The process of liquidation of private property ended in 1950 when all pharmacies were nationalised by the Hungarian state and the Sovietisation of these institutions began. In this paper, I will present the first step of this process, the Aryanization of Hungarian pharmacies.

A vaszkuláris intervenciós radiológia története
Authors: Süvegh András
Published: January 2024

Az intervenciós radiológia az orvostudomány napjaink egyik legintenzívebben fejlődő területe, melyben a szakemberek különböző képalkotó modalitások segítségével minimál invazív diagnosztikus, illetve terápiás (kuratív vagy palliatív) beavatkozásokat hajtanak végre. Képalkotó modalitások tekintetében a leggyakrabban digitális szubtrakciós angiográfiát (DSA), ultrahangot (UH), valamint komputertomográfiát (CT) használnak az intervenciók során. A terület rohamos fejlődésének köszönhetően egyre több kórkép esetén merül fel ezen minimál invazív technika a sebészi beavatkozás alternatívájaként. Előnyei a nyílt műtéti beavatkozáshoz képest: a helyi érzéstelenítés miatt elkerülhetők az általános anesztéziából adódó szövődmények, sebészi bemetszés hiányában nincsenek sebészi komplikációk, kisebb a vérvesztés, jóval kisebb a megterhelés a páciens számára (emiatt idős, rossz általános állapotú betegek esetén is szóba jöhet), valamint ezen beavatkozás számos alkalommal ismételhető. Ezek mellett természetesen megvannak az intervenciós radiológiai beavatkozások korlátai is, például, hogy nem váltható ki az összes sebészi eljárás, valamint ezeknek a beavatkozások sem teljesen szövődménymentesek.

A mesterségesfű flórfelületét főként laposjellegű, különböző keresztmetszetű profil monofilamentekből és részben terjedelmesített fóliajellegű műrostokból fonaltűzés (tufting) eljárással alakítják ki, a közel hálószerkezetű vékony szövött hordozón. A hátoldalról betűzött szálakból átmenetileg kialakított hurkokat felvágva jön létre a természetes fűhez hasonlító járó/használati réteg, amelyet az összetett szerkezet aljára felhordott és hőkezelt rögzítőpép szilárdít. Rendeltetése szerint udvarokban, teraszokon, játszótereken alkalmazzák, ill. speciális fejlesztésű változataikat különböző nyitott- és fedett sportpályák burkolására használják.

5. Sınıf Fen Bilimleri Ders Kitabında Bilimin Doğası: Bütünsel Bir Yaklaşıma Dayalı İçerik Analizi
Authors: OKAN Beyza , KAYA Ebru
Published: January 2024

Bilimin doğası hakkında bilim felsefecileri ve eğitimcileri tarafından birçok yaklaşım öne sürülmüştür. Erduran ve Dagher (2014) tarafından önerilen ve Kaya ve Erduran (2016) tarafından isimlendirilen “Yeniden Kavramsallaştırılmış Aile Benzerliği Yaklaşımına Dayalı Bilimin Doğası” bilimin epistemik-bilişsel (örn., bilimsel pratikler ve bilimsel bilgi) ve sosyal-kurumsal yönlerini (örn., profesyonel etkinlikler ve finansal sistemler) bütünsel olarak açıklayan bir yaklaşımdır. Bu çalışmada 5. sınıf fen bilimleri ders kitabının bilimin doğasını nasıl temsil ettiği incelenmiştir. İçerik analizi yapmak için kitap 3 bölüme ayrılmıştır. Bu bölümler (1) konu anlatımlarının yer aldığı kısımlar ‘içerik’, (2) deney, araştırma, gözlem ve tartışma gibi kısımlar ‘aktivite’, (3) ünite sonlarındaki çoktan seçmeli ve açık uçlu sorular ise ‘değerlendirme’ olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, bilimin doğasına ilişkin bulunan kodların kitapta en çok aktivite bölümünde, en az ise değerlendirme bölümünde olduğunu göstermiştir. En fazla kod bilimsel pratikler için bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar, 5. sınıf fen bilimleri ders kitabının, bilimin epistemik ve bilişsel kategorileri olan ve yeterince vurgulanmayan amaç ve değerler, bilimsel metotlar ve bilimsel bilgi kategorilerinin öğretilmesi açısından yeterli olmadığını göstermektedir. Sosyal kurumsal kategorilerin de ders kitabında yeterince temsil edilmediği görülmüştür. Ders kitabındaki üniteler incelendiğinde ise bilimin doğası temsilinin üniteler arasında farklılaşmadığı görülmüştür. Kitabın bilimin doğası yaklaşımının tüm kategorilerini üniteler boyunca içerecek şekilde revize edilmesinin faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: January 2024

Çalışmada, 0-68 aylık bebek ve çocukların gelişim düzeylerini belirlemeye yönelik Mullen (1995) tarafından geliştirilen Mullen Erken Öğrenme Ölçeği’nin 13-44 aylık bebek ve çocuklar için geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma grubunu, Sivas il merkezinde Aile Sağlığı Merkezlerine gelen herhangi bir gelişimsel gecikme tanısı bulunmayan 13-44 ay arası 365 bebek/çocuk oluşturmuştur. Mullen Erken Öğrenme Ölçeği’nin uyarlama çalışmasında; dil ve kapsam geçerliği çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Yapı geçerliği için temel bileşenler analizi, madde parametrelerinin kestirimleri ve parametre değişmezliğine bakılmıştır. Temel bileşenler analizi sonucu elde edilen özdeğer ve açıklanan varyans oranlarının sonucunda alt boyutların tek boyutlu olduğu ve dolayısıyla yerel bağımsız olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Madde parametrelerinin kestirimi ile ölçeğin alt boyutları için en kolay ve en zor maddeleri belirlenmiştir. Parametre değişmezliği korelasyon katsayılarının % 70 üzerinde olduğu için parametre değişmezliği sağlanmıştır. Güvenirlik için Klasik Test Kuramına göre ise Cronbach's Alpha katsayısı ve test tekrar test güvenirliği katsayısı Madde Tepki Kuramına göre marjinal güvenirlik ve ampirik güvenirlik katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Ölçeğin alt boyutlarının Cronbach's Alpha katsayıları >0,93; test tekrar test katsayıları >0,96; marjinal güvenirlik katsayılarının >0,66; ampirik güvenirlik katsayıları >0,94 ve test tekrar test güvenirlik katsayısı >0,96 bulunmuştur. Bulgular Mullen Erken Öğrenme Ölçeği’nin 13-44 aylık bebekler/çocuklar için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
