Germanium Enrichment Mechanism: An Example from the Maoping Carbonate-Hosted Zn-Pb-(Ge) Deposit, SW China
Authors: Wang Lei , Zhang Yan , Han Runsheng
Published: July 2023

Germanium (Ge), as a critical metal, is in high demand due to its growing usage in emerging industries and green technologies. The Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Zn-Pb metallogenic region, located on the southwestern margin of the Yangtze block, is one of the most important producers of Ge in China. The Maoping Zn-Pb deposit in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou region contains Ge-bearing sphalerite, whose crystal chemistry and process of Ge incorporation are poorly resolved. Sphalerite occurring in two hydrothermal stages (Sp-II and Sp-III) is recognized in this deposit. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to map the concentrations of key elements (including Mn, Fe, Cu, Ga, Ge, As, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Hg, and Pb) in Sp-II and Sp-III, and their distributions were qualitatively compared, followed by a quantitative assessment through application of the structural similarity index. The results suggest that Ge positively correlates with Cu in Sp-II, but with Ag in Sp-III, differences that may be related to the temperature of formation. The metamorphic basement is the main source of Ge in the Maoping deposit. Additionally, coal seams in this deposit could potentially be important contributors to Ge enrichment. A model for Ge mineralization was proposed in which the mixing of the Ge-bearing metamorphic fluids with the Ge-bearing basin brines precipitated sphalerite, and the Ge was incorporated into Sp-II and Sp-III via 2Cu+ + Ge4+ ↔ 3Zn2+ and 2Ag+ + Ge4+ ↔ 3Zn2+, respectively, under medium sulfur fugacity and low oxygen fugacity conditions.
The Impact of the Rome II Regulation on Product Liability Claims: An Analysis of Case Law from European Jurisdictions
Authors: Çami Laura
Published: July 2023

The Rome II Regulation is a legal framework that pertains to the determination of the applicable law in cases involving non-contractual obligations, which encompasses claims related to product liability. This article undertakes an analysis of the effects of the Rome II Regulation on claims related to product liability within various jurisdictions across Europe. This article critically assesses the impact of the Rome II Regulation on the resolution and litigation patterns of product liability claims by analysing case law from multiple jurisdictions. The article delves into the matters pertaining to jurisdiction, choice of law, and damages, while also scrutinising any challenges or controversies that have emerged in the implementation of the Rome II Regulation in product liability cases. The analysis demonstrates that the Rome II Regulation has effectively enhanced the level of certainty and predictability in the determination of the applicable law for product liability claims. However, it has also presented certain difficulties, including the intricate nature of the choice of law rules and the potential for engaging in forum shopping. The article presents potential strategies to address these difficulties and ultimately asserts that the Rome II Regulation has generally yielded favourable outcomes in the settlement of product liability disputes within European jurisdictions.
Relativistic Corrections in White Dwarf Asteroseismology
Authors: Boston S. Reece , Evans Charles R. , Clemens J. Christopher
Published: July 2023

With the precision now afforded by modern space-based photometric observations from the retired K2 and current TESS missions, the effects of general relativity (GR) may be detectable in the light curves of pulsating white dwarfs (WDs). Almost all WD models are calculated using a Newtonian description of gravity and hydrodynamics. To determine if the inclusion of GR leads to observable effects, we used idealized models of compact stars and made side-by-side comparisons of mode periods computed using a: (i) Newtonian and (ii) GR description of the equilibrium structure and nonradial pulsations. For application to WDs, it is only necessary to include the first post-Newtonian (1pn) approximation to GR. The mathematical nature of the linear nonradial pulsation problem is then qualitatively unchanged and the GR corrections can be written as extensions of the classic Dziembowski equations. As such, GR effects might easily be included in existing asteroseismology codes. The idealized stellar models are (i) 1pn relativistic polytropes and (ii) stars with a cold degenerate electron equation of state featuring a near-surface chemical transition from μ

e
= 2 to μ

e
= 1, simulating a surface hydrogen layer. A comparison of Newtonian and 1pn normal mode periods reveals fractional differences in the order of the surface gravitational redshift z. For a typical WD, this fractional difference is ∼10−4 and is greater than the period uncertainty σ
Π/Π of many WD pulsation modes observed by TESS. Consistent theoretical modeling of periods observed in these stars should, in principle, include GR effects to 1pn order.
The Strategic Address of Marginalisation in Higher Education
Authors: Hayes Catherine
Published: July 2023

Pedagogical creativity is an opportunity to innovate, create agency, and raise awareness of critical commentary on issues that are often regarded as being central to the concepts of social justice and identity within the context of transformative learning. This is particularly true in relation to marginalized individuals and collective groups, distinguished from their peers by fundamental differences in cultural heritage, race, or religious belief. This chapter provides an insight into the theoretical and practical basis of gamification and its usefulness in explicating the meaning that others ascribe to their individual experiences of the world and how they interpret them. Gamification is posited as a means of facilitating freedom of expression for individuals and collective communities, for whom voicing personal beliefs and standpoints has been a barrier for rationale debate on issues of oppression and the advocacy of agency in practice.
Family medicine residents’ perspectives on different teaching modalities used throughout their training
Authors: Alrashed Dimah A. , El Said Tarek , Kofi Mostafa A.
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

New teaching modalities have emerged throughout the years to help enhance residency training programs. Studies have shown that when establishing a new teaching modality, it is crucial to consider the trainee’s perception and feedback as trainee-centered teaching techniques aim to enhance the students’ motivations and problem-solving skills. The aim of this study is to discover residents’ perceptions of different teaching modalities used through their training programs and to recognize which teaching modality is preferable to residents among the family medicine residents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2021 and April 2022 that included all family medicine residents in the Saudi Board Family Medicine Training Program at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire included two main parts. The first part collected demographic information. The second part concerned residents’ opinions regarding different teaching modalities used throughout their training and factors leading to better learning outcomes.

Results:

The survey was completed by 60 family medicine residents. Half of the respondents perceived weekly academic day activities [WADA] as the most important teaching style (53.3%), followed by self-directed learning [SDL] (40%), while learning management system [LMS] was not ranked as the top choice by any of the respondents.

Conclusion:

These findings can be applied to the improvement of family medicine training programs. Understanding the perceptions of different teaching modalities can help enhance training programs to help future family medicine practitioners.
Guided osteotomy
Authors: Rashmi Saini , Kr Saini V
Published: July 2023

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), a modern technology in three-dimensional imaging has gained wide acceptance in the field of endodontics. Treatment strategies and surgical guidance have both benefited from this strategy. By the use of conventional periapical radiographs sometime the intraoral localization of root apex is found to be difficult and it is inescapable to prevent significant amount of bone removal. Moreover, the duration of retraction of gingival flap increases and more amount of alveolar bone removal are usually required, leading to prolonged time of surgery. The more intraoperative time, the higher are the chances of postoperative pain, discomfort and even leads to increase risk of infection. The combination of intraoral or extraoral scan and CBCT provides favorable treatment outcomes. Leveraging CBCT, computer-aided design, and three-dimensional printing technology, this case report discusses a method of periapical surgery using a surgical template for guided osteotomy and root resection of the maxillary central incisor.

Published: July 2023

The term “culture shock” refers to the adjustment that occurs when one is exposed to a culture that is distinct from their own. This study examines the culture shock that missionaries who serve in the Diocese of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim encounter. The objective of this research was to explore the causes of culture shock. Mixed research method (qualitative and quantitative) approach specifically embedded design was used. The key findings showed that although missionaries were generally satisfied with their missionary experience, there were areas which created challenges for the missionaries. Different expectations about the culture, along with challenges settling into a new community impacted on feelings of anxiety and dissatisfaction experienced due to culture shock. Food and Portuguese language challenges were the most prominent components of the causes of culture shock experienced by the missionaries. Aspects of culture shock such as language and food or facial expressions were noted as tensions affecting the mission experience for the missionaries. The causes of culture shock were experienced to some degree by all missionaries in this study.

Authors: Khan Ayesha , Mehmood Haziq , Huda Sadia
Published: July 2023

The intended focus of this study on the accountancy students in Pakistan is due to the pressure to excel academically combined with a heavy workload, high academic pressure and frequent examinations leads to high levels of academic burnout among accountancy students. The present study was carried out to identify the relationship between grit, academic resilience and academic burnout among accountancy students. Data was comprised of 400 accountancy students of which 202 were males and 198 females who were recruited through purposive sampling technique. Their age ranged from 19-26 years (M = 22.09; SD = 2.06). Three scales were used to collect responses from participants; Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30) (Cassidy, 2016), Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (Campos et al., 2013) and 12-Item-Grit Scale (Duckworth et al., 2007). The correlation analysis revealed significantly positive relationship between grit and academic resilience while significantly negative correlation with academic burnout. Moreover, the linear regression analysis established grit as the strongest negative predictor of academic burnout while mediation analysis observed the role of academic resilience between grit and academic burnout. The present research is helpful in understanding the role of these variables and their impact on accountancy students. The findings of the study would help in developing effective counseling and resilience enhancement interventions to facilitate accountancy students to deal with their academic burnout.

Using Virtual Reality to Help Chinese Students Learn English
Authors: Gao Richard
Published: July 2023

At this stage in society, countries worldwide have realized the importance of technology and its effect of it on the development of countries. In China, instead of using immersive techniques in education systems, schools still choose to use textbooks and whiteboards to teach children. This results in a lack of focus from students and an incapability to study and learn effectively. To fix this problem, Virtual Reality is put forth as an immersive and engageable solution. To analyze how well VR is affecting students, this article discusses the importance of VR usage in China and how that will help improve the quality of education for students, highlighting different ways VR has been benefiting other education systems around the world and how more countries have been implementing this into their schools. This article also discusses the current implementations of VR in Chinese education systems and how different programs that have been developing are affecting the efficiency of learning and interactivity among students positively.
Employee stock ownership and voluntary carbon disclosure
Authors: ABDELNOUR Joseph , AUBERT Nicolas , BEN-AMAR Walid
Published: July 2023

This paper investigates the relationship between Employee Stock Ownership (ESO) and voluntary carbon disclosures. Given that previous research has shown the beneficial effects of ESO on work attitudes and corporate performance, we link ESO and board representation with the attributes of voluntary climate-related disclosures. We use three proxies to capture these attributes: corporate decisions to respond to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) annualquestionnaire; corporate decisions to make responses publicly available, and the quality of a firm’s disclosures on climate-changerelated risks and strategies to mitigate them. Our results show a positive association between ESO and decisions to both answer the CDP questionnaire, and make responses publicly available. In contrast, ESO does not seem to impact carbon disclosure quality. The findings contribute to the ongoing debate on the determinantsof voluntary climate change disclosures, highlighting the importance of ESO to enhance the transparency of voluntary disclosures of climate change business impacts.
MODEL OF TERMINATION OF PROSECUTION RESTORATIVE JUSTICE BY THE PROSECUTOR IN CRIMINAL CASE SETTLEMENT IN INDONESIA
Authors: Wahyuningsih Sri Endah , Marsudi Eko Bambang , Ma'ruf Umar , Prasetyo Deddy
Published: July 2023

In Indonesia, stopping the prosecution of a criminal case is the authority of the prosecutor's office. Based on the Criminal Procedure Code, there are three reasons to stop prosecution: insufficient evidence, not a criminal act, and termination for the sake of the law. However, the termination of prosecution does not consider if there has been peace between perpetrator and victim. This study uses a sociological juridical approach by examining secondary and primary data by finding the legal reality experienced in the field, and qualitative descriptive methods, namely where the data obtained are then arranged systematically so that a comprehensive picture will be obtained. Restorative in Indonesia, if it fulfils 3 (three) cumulative principal requirements that the suspect has committed a crime for the first time, a criminal offence is only punishable by a fine or is threatened with a maximum imprisonment of 5 years. A criminal act is committed with a value of evidence or a maximum loss value of Rp. 2,500,000.00 The case settlement involves the perpetrator, victim, family of the perpetrator/victim, and other related parties jointly seeking a fair settlement by emphasizing restoration of restitution, not retaliation. If an agreement is reached, the prosecution can be terminated for reasons of legal interest.

Introduction: Sphingobacterium spiritivorum is a rare cause of human infections worldwide. It occurs in immunocompromised patients, and its treatment is a clinical challenge.
Clinical case: A 46-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital in Medellín with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure secondary to severe pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 and requiring mechanical ventilation. He developed acute renal failure, requiring hemodialysis through a right jugular catheter. At 48 hours after insertion, signs of a systemic inflammatory response developed, and Sphingobacterium spiritivorum was cultured in all cultures.
Evolution: Intravenous ciprofloxacin was started for seven days with favorable clinical evolution and control culture at 48 hours without microbiological isolation, so it did not require the removal of the hemodialysis catheter. After this, with improvement in her admission condition, she was transferred to the general hospitalization ward and later discharged.
Conclusion: In this case, severe SARS/CoV-2 was aggravated by acute renal failure and septicemia superadded by S. Spiritivorum.

What is Wrong with the Golden Rule?
Authors: Tapper Alan ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2023

The Golden Rule (“what you want done [or not done] to yourself, do [or don’t do] to others”) is the most widely accepted summary statement of human morality, and even today it continues to have philosophical supporters. This article argues that the Golden Rule suffers from four faults, the first two related to the ethics of justice and the second two related to the ethics of benevolence. One, it fails to explain how to deal with non-reciprocation. Two, it fails to make clear that my obligations are obligations regardless of how I would wish to be treated by others. Three, it lacks any special value in explaining the right occasions for benevolence. And, four, it has no power to motivate benevolence.

This article reconstructs Slavoj Žižek’s theory of ideology as a form of fetishistic disavowal. By seeking out Žižek’s relevant influences and clarifying them, the article seeks to make the theory of fetishistic disavowal in politics intelligible to a wider audience. Moreover, the article argues that the theory of ideology advanced by Žižek in this period of his work can be understood as a theory of unconscious defense, a fact that raises important questions about the utility of psychoanalysis for political philosophy. The article also considers issues pertaining to political belief, practical irrationality, and real abstraction.
W. Norris Clarke’s “Substance-in-Relation”
Authors: Ezeoba Aloysius N. ,   DePaul University
Published: July 2023

W. Norris Clarke described his personalism as “substance-in-relation,” which emphasizes the equality of primordial modes of substance and relation as a solution to the dichotomy between substance and relation created in the history of metaphysics of the human person. African personalism seems to conceive the human person as essentially relational, which is mostly expressed in the saying: “I am because we are.” Though some contemporary African scholars, like Molefe, try to indicate the priority of the individual, the relational concept remains dominant, which makes it inclined toward collectivism, that most often seems to repress the individual (substance). This article aims to attempt a proposal of a reconstruction of African personalism using the model of Clarke’s personalism by laying equal emphasis on the primordial modes of substance and relation in order to guard against individualism on the one hand and collectivism on the other hand.

Gladiatorial Spectacles in Crete
Authors: Karambinis Michalis
Published: July 2023

This article examines the epigraphic and archaeological evidence attesting the staging of gladiatorial and associated spectacles in Roman Crete. The evidence indicates shows held in the capital of the province, Gortyn; in the colony of Knossos, in Hierapytna, and possibly in Chersonesos and Kissamos. Some of the spectacles that took place in Gortyn were extraordinary and very costly, including beast fights, public executions and gladiatorial combats with sharp weapons. The cities that presented these spectacles were leading towns and principal ports for the complex trade networks in which the island was involved, and open to innovation. The wealth thereby accumulated enabled the execution of new public infrastructures in these towns, among them the new type of spectacle building that appeared in the Mediterranean, the amphitheater.
An object-oriented approach to scenario support in optics CAD systems
Authors: Kopylov Mikhail Sergeevich , Deryabin Nikolai Borisovich , Denisov Evgeniy Yuryevich
Published: July 2023

This article discusses the problems of supporting Python scripts in an actively developing interactive graphics system. Such support is a time-consuming task, which is difficult to automate in the general case. As a solution to this problem, we propose an approach that allows developers to combine the creation of new system components with the simultaneous embedding of scripting support without writing redundant additional code. The result is a user-friendly object-oriented API that describes all aspects of interaction between the system and scripts. Scripts using this API can be used to modeling automation as well as to extend the system with custom extension classes. The latter is especially important as it leaves the ability for ordinary users to extend closed-source systems on their own.
On open third-party libraries usage in implementation of vortex particle methods of computational fluid dynamics

Published: July 2023

The most general structure of a computational algorithm that implements meshless Lagrangian methods of computational fluid dynamics is discussed. Not only the main ones are touched upon, but also “auxiliary”, but therefore no less important procedures, which implementation is often practically ignored. The latter can lead to a significant imbalance and decrease in the efficiency of codes in which the “basic” computational operations are significantly optimized. The author's in-house codes VM2D and VM3D are discussed, the development of which at the first (“exploratory”) stage proceeded mainly along the path of choosing and implementing the necessary mathematical models, and the achievement of acceptable efficiency was ensured by an “extensive” way – involving significant computing resources (in particular, graphical accelerators). An attempt was made to make a conclusion about the expediency of using existing third-party libraries to perform computational geometry operations, solve problems on graphs, etc..

Resumen: la paraoxonasa 1 (pon 1) es una enzima integrada a las lipoproteínas de alta densidad (hdl); su actividad ha sido asociada con el efecto antioxidante de estas lipoproteínas. Una actividad reducida de las misma está asociada con enfermedad cardiovascular. La actividad de la enzima parece depender de sus polimorfismos (C-108T, L55M y Q192R), lo que los hace responsables de la variabilidad interindividual y entre las etnias. Objetivo: caracterizar genotípicamente los polimorfismos de la pon 1 en población mestiza colombiana. Métodos: se determinaron las frecuencias de los alelos rs705379 (-108C/T), rs 854560 (L55M) y rs 662 (Q192R), del gen pon 1 en 133 adultos sanos, con rasgos mestizos, de ambos sexos y no consanguíneos. La genotipificación se hizo por minisecuenciación (SnaPshot). Resultados: las frecuencias de los genotipos polimórficos fueron: -108 C/T (CC 34 %, CT 45 %, TT21 %), L55M (LL 50 %, LM 43 %, MM 7 %) y Q192R (QQ 42 %, QR 50 %, RR 8 %). Seis personas (4,5 %) tuvieron haplotipo de triple homocigoto nativo (CC/CC/AA). Conclusión: los resultados indican que en la población estudiada, las frecuencias genotípicas no eran diferentes a las descritas para otras poblaciones latinas y europeas. Además, no se observó ningún vínculo fuerte entre los tres loci estudiados.

O desrespeito aos povos indígenas brasileiros mostra um olhar etnocêntrico, que reforça a história de um país inserido compulsoriamente na modernidade ocidental, no qual resistem modos de existir que possibilitam a imaginação de outros mundos possíveis. O que já aparecia tanto na proposta do Manifesto Antropófago, do poeta Oswald de Andrade, quanto na obra do escritor João Guimarães Rosa e seu encontro com o mundo sertanejo. O antropólogo brasileiro Eduardo Viveiros de Castro volta a estas referências  quando constrói o Perspectivismo Ameríndio, tornando-se ponto de confluência da Virada Ontológica, e que pode ser tomada como um estudo da comunicação pela diferença, que chamamos neste artigo de comunicação pelo equívoco.

The process of gas-phase deposition of Mo-C and W-C multilayer coatings by pyrolysis of molybdenum and tungsten hexacarbonyls on heat-treated technical steel X155CrVMo12-with high class of surface finish (>10) has been studied.
Metallographic research confirms the possibility of low-temperature deposition of high quality coatings with microhardness from ~ 11000 MPa to 20000 MPa at coating deposition rate of 40...170 mkm/h. This provides good adhesion to the substrate materials without reducing the strength characteristics of steel and without deteriorating the purity class of the original surface.
The conducted tribological tests reveal high tribological characteristics of the developed coatings and testify to the prospects of their use for increase of wear resistance and reduction of sliding friction coefficient of friction pairs (steel - coating and coating) of precision units in mechanical engineering.
Comparison of the properties of the developed coatings with the characteristics of electrolytic hard chromium coatings showed that molybdenum-carbide and tungsten-carbide CVD coatings, obtained by vacuum-plasma technology Avinit, are not inferior to chromium coatings in friction values, can surpass them in hardness up to two times, and in resistance to abrasive wear up to 10 times.
According to the aggregate properties, molybdenum coatings can not only compete with electrolytic hard chromium coatings, as hardening and tribological coatings, but also be considered as an alternative to chromium coating in the environmental aspect.
On the basis of the conducted research the technological bases of the processes of applying metallic and metal-carbide CVD coatings on the basis of molybdenum and tungsten have been worked out, which are the base for the development of industrial technologies for precision parts of aggregate and engine construction and machine building.
Examples of application of the developed coatings in production conditions are given.
“HÜSEYNİK TEN ÇIKTIM ŞEHER YOLUNA”: HARPUT TÜRKÜSÜNDE YAŞAYAN TELGRAFÇI ÂKİF EFENDİ
Authors: Koçyiğit Ömer
Published: July 2023

Bu makale Elazığ-Harput yöresine ait Âkif türküsü veya daha bilinen
adıyla Hüseynik türküsüyle ilgilidir. Güftesinde telgrafla ilgili ifadeler
bulunan bu türkünün, Harput Telgrafhanesi’nde görev yapan Âkif isimli
bir memurun ânî ölümü üzerine yakıldığı söylenmektedir. Türkünün
muhtelif hikâyelerinde güftede geçen bazı isimlerin Âkif’le olan irtibatı söz
konusudur. Sözlü kültürde var olan rivayetlerin doğru olup olmadığına
odaklanan bu çalışma, Osmanlı kaynaklarından hareketle türkünün
başkahramanı Âkif Efendi’yi, türküde geçen Ati Hanım ve Lütfi gibi
isimleri araştırmakta; arşiv belgeleri, salnâmeler ve hatıratlar üzerinden
hayatı hakkında fazla bilgi olmayan bir taşra memurunun yaşam öyküsünü
gün yüzüne çıkarmaktadır. Türkünün hikâyesini tetkik ederek birtakım
söylentileri düzeltip bazı bilgilere açıklık getiren bu makale, kültürel bir
devamlılıkla günümüze taşınan türküler üzerinden mikro-tarih ve
biyografi çalışmaları için bir örnek sunmayı hedeflemektedir.
RODOSÇUKLU FENNÎ DİVANI NIN VATİKAN KÜTÜPHANESİNDEKİ BİR NÜSHASI ÜZERİNE
Authors: Yavuz Seyit
Published: July 2023

Osmanlı Devleti sınırları içinde yer alan topraklarda Akdeniz’den
Karadeniz’e, Kafkasya’dan Balkanlar’a kadar tarih boyunca yüzlerce şair, nasir,
âlim ve ilim adamı yetişmiştir. Osmanlı coğrafyasında yetişen bu şairlerden biri
de 18. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında yaşayan Rodosçuklu Kömürkayazâde Fennî
Efendi’dir. Biyografik kaynaklarda ve arşiv kayıtlarında kendisiyle ilgili herhangi
bir bilgi bulunmayan şair, Divan’ında yer alan tarih manzumelerinden anlaşıldığı
kadarıyla Rodosçuk’ta doğmuş veya hayatının bir bölümünü orada geçirmiştir.
Günümüze kadar ulaşan tek eseri olan Divan’ın Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Türkçe
Yazmaları bölümünde yer alan nüshasının sonundaki kayda göre ağalar
zümresine mensup, marifet sahibi ve nükte yapmakta mâhir bir kimsedir.
Fennî Divanı’nın günümüze kadar bilinen iki nüshası vardı. Bu nüshalardan
biri Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Türkçe Yazmaları Bölümünde, diğeri ise Ankara Milli
Kütüphane Tokat Müzesi Yazmaları Bölümünde bulunmaktadır. Bu yazının
konusu olan nüsha ise Vatikan Kütüphanesi Türkçe Yazmaları Bölümünde yer
almaktadır. Vatikan’da yer alan nüsha hem şiir sayısı bakımından fazla olmasıyla
hem de diğer iki nüshaya göre daha sıhhatli bir metin sunması göz önünde
bulundurularak oldukça değerli görülmektedir.
Bu çalışmada öncelikle Fennî Divanı’nın Vatikan nüshası tanıtılacaktır.
Ardından 2014’te yüksek lisans, 2021’de doktora tezi olarak çalışılan ve 2016’da
kitap olarak yayınlanan Divan’ın neşrinde yer almayan şiirlerin transkripsiyonlu
metinlerine yer verilecektir. Son olarak Divan’ın neşrinde yer alan bazı problemli
hususlar Vatikan nüshasından hareketle giderilmeye çalışılacaktır.
