DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL FOR VIRTUAL REALITY BASED TEACHING FOR ART HISTORY COURSE
Authors: Çoruh Levent , Tepecik Adnan
Published: December 2024

Art history classes can be challenging for students without an art history background. Recognizing these challenges is the first step to finding practical solutions. The integration of innovative digital technologies into art history classes is a creative way to discover novel delivery methods and could also help motivate students and enhance their learning. Virtual Reality (VR) visualizes abstract concepts and theories and allows students to virtually visit historical sites with a sense of presence. Research is focused on creating educational material with two different VR approaches, 3D animation, textual information, and photos for an undergraduate level Art History course on the Süleymaniye Mosque in Ottoman Religious Architecture. VR-integrated course material development needs well-designed multidisciplinary collaboration. A collective effort was needed to determine the competencies and digital technology-based delivery methods by experts in art history, architectural history, educational sciences, and graphic design disciplines. The educational material includes VR-based (6DOF) walk-through software and Quicktime VR-based (3DOF) panoramic photos, 3D animated narratives, and textual-photographic information about the building. Once materials were developed, they were demonstrated to a small group of teachers, research assistants and students in a VR technology-equipped classroom. The feedback from the participants showed that the instructional material was qualified to positively affect the students' level of interest, learning, and retention. This innovative approach has significant educational potential, however its realisation depends on tight collaboration between course teachers, educational specialists, designers and IT specialists, which is not always easy to access.

Erken Bizans Dönemi’nde Grifon Kulplu Kandiller ve Antalya Müzesi’nden Bilinmeyen Bir Örnek
Authors: Arı Ahmet
Published: December 2024

Müzeler ve özel koleksiyonlarda bulunan ve 4. ve 7. yüzyıllar arasına tarihlenen çok sayıda grifon başlı kulpa sahip bronz kandiller, kökeni Antik çağlara dayanan kandillerde görülen uygulamanın erken Bizans döneminde de yaygın olduğunun kanıtıdır. Genellikle yassı yuvarlak gövdeli, tek veya çok burunlu kandillerde görülen grifon figürü, kandil kulpunun gövdeye doğru uzandığı kısımda yer almaktadır. Erken Bizans dönemine tarihlenen örneklerin çoğunluğunda grifon başının üstünde ya da gaga ile yağ deliği kapağı arasında bir haç bulunur. Çalışmanın konusunu grifon biçimli kulpa sahip kandillerin bir örneği olan ve şu an Antalya Müzesi’nde sergilenen kandil oluşturmaktadır. Antalya Gebiz’de bulunan ve müzeye müsadere yoluyla getirilen eserde yer alan grifon başının diğer örneklere göre daha basit bir işçilikle ve stilize olarak yapılması eserdeki tasvirin grifon başı olduğunun tespitini zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu sebeple, eserin diğer koleksiyonlardaki benzer kandillerle karşılaştırılıp detaylı bir şekilde incelenerek tanıtılması, tarihlendirilmesi ve yapım yerinin tespiti amaçlanmaktadır. Bu makalede öncelikle bronz kandillerin tiplerinden, ışığın, aydınlatma gereçlerinin ve özellikle grifon kulplu kandillerin Bizans toplumundaki yerinden bahsedilmiştir. Daha sonra müze ve koleksiyonlarda bulunan grifon kulplu kandillerin tipleri değerlendirilerek, Antalya Müzesi’nde bulunan kandilin detaylı incelemesi yapılmıştır. Bu karşılaştırmalı anlatım ile Antalya Müzesi’nde yer alan kandil daha detaylı tartışılarak, Bizans dönemi grifon kulplu kandiller arasında fazla görülmemiş bir örnek olduğu ve önemi açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmayla aynı zamanda grifon kulplu kandillerin iyi işçilikle yapılmış, 4. ve 5. yüzyıllara tarihlenen örnekler ve stilize olmuş, 6. yüzyıla tarihlenen örnekler olarak iki farklı grupta incelenmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
Timurlularda İdari ve Askerî Bir Görevli: İçkiler
Authors: Koçak Muhammed Emin
Published: December 2024

İçki ünvanlı görevliler, tarihte çeşitli Türk ve Moğol devletlerinde görülür. Altın Orda Hanlığı, Safevîler ve Şeybânî Hanlığı bu devletler arasındadır. Timur tarafından 1370 tarihinde kurulan Timurlularda da İçki ünvanlı kimselere rastlanır. Görebildiğimiz kadarıyla kurucu hükümdar Timur’dan son hükümdar Sultan Hüseyin Baykara’ya kadar İçki makamında olan insanlar vardır. Timurlularda İçkilerin güçleri ve etkinlikleri dönemsel olarak farklılık göstermektedir. İçki olarak adlandırılan görevliler, hükümdara oldukça yakın bir konumda yer almışlardır. Bu kişiler, hükümdarın güvenini kazanmış insanlar arasından seçilmektedir. İçkiler, Timurlularda muhtelif görevler üstlenmişlerdir. Onlar, hükümdar ile savaşlarda bulunmuş, hükümdarın muhafızlığını yapmış ve av faaliyetlerine katılmışlardır. Bazı zamanlarda ise bir askerî birliğe komutan olarak atanmışlardır. Ayrıca merkezî bürokraside oldukça önemli konumlara yükselerek devlet idaresinde yer edinmişlerdir. Timur döneminde İçkilerden daha çok askerî faaliyetler noktasında bahsedilir. Bunlar Timur’un yanında seferlere katılarak dikkate değer ölçüde fayda sağlamışlardır. Timur’un ardından oğlu ve halefi Mirza Şahruh döneminde de İçki ünvanlı görevliler hükümdarın yanı başında yer almışlardır. Mirza Şahruh sonrası dönemde İçki ünvanlı görevlilerin güçlerini ve etkinliklerini artırdıkları tespit edilmiştir. Özellikle Sultan Hüseyin Baykara döneminde İçkiler, devlet idaresinde oldukça yüksek makamlara ulaşmıştır. Ayrıca önemli şehirlere vali olarak da atanmışlardır. İçkiler zaman içerisinde, Timurlularda idari ve askerî alanda mühim bir güce ulaşmışlardır. Bu çalışmada İçkilerin kimler olduğu araştırıldı. Ek olarak onların ordu ve devlet idaresindeki rolleri incelenecektir.
19. YÜZYIL AMERİKAN ŞİİRİNDE DEVRİMCİ BİR KADIN ŞAİR: EMİLY DİCKİNSON ŞİİRLERİNDE TOPLUMSAL CİNSİYET ROLLERİ
Authors: Karagöz Gümüşçubuk Özlem
Published: December 2024

Emily Dickinson on dokuzuncu yüzyıl Amerikan edebiyatının en ünlü şairlerinden biridir. Her ne kadar kendisi beyazlar giyen ve kendisini odasına kapatıp şiirler yazan bir Amerikalı kadın şair olarak hatırlansa da, Dickinson aynı zamanda yazdığı şiirler ile Amerikan edebiyatında başka şairlere ilham olmuştur. Bunun yanı sıra, yazdığı şiirler ile on dokuzuncu yüzyılda ortaya çıkan feminist kadın hareketine de verdiği destek şiirlerinde fark edilir. Şiirlerinin genelinde kimlik, kendini ifade etme, toplumsal beklentiler gibi temalar ön plana çıkar. Ancak, bu makalenin amacı, Dickinson şiirlerinde on dokuzuncu yüzyılda ortaya çıkan feminist harekete referansla, toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini şiirlerinde kullandığı dil ile toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini yıkmaya çalışması, geleneksel evlilik kurumunu sert bir şekilde eleştirmesi ile ve son olarak kadınlara atfedilen ve patriarkal düzen tarafından “önemsiz” ev işleri olarak algılanan görevlerin kadınlar tarafından nasıl da yaratıcı bir eyleme dönüştüğünü irdelemektir. Bunun yanı sıra, Dickinson’ın şiirlerinde pek çok kez örneklendirdiği gibi patriarkal erkek söylem tarafından önemsiz ya da hor görülen dikiş-nakış gibi işlerin, kadının yaratıcı ve yoktan var etme gücünü gösteren en önemli örneklerden biri olarak şiirlerinde karşımıza çıkar. Sonuç olarak bu makalenin amacı, Dickinson’ın kadın kültürünü eşsiz bir şekilde gözlemleyip, eşsiz bir şekilde şiirlerine yansıtan Dickinson’ın on dokuzuncu yüzyıl toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri hakkında eleştirisini gözler önüne sermektir.
SÜRÜNÜN İÇİNDE OLMAK: DİJİTAL DÜNYANIN ELEŞTİRİSİ ÜZERİNE BİR OKUMA
Authors: Zamur Tuncer Rabia
Published: December 2024

Byung-Cul Han tarafından kaleme alınan Sürünün İçinde Dijital Dünyaya Bakışlar isimli kitap, iletişim teknolojilerinin gelişmesiyle birlikte toplumsal yapıda meydan gelen değişim ve dönüşümleri eleştirel bir bakışla ele almaktadır. Söz konusu kitap, Twitter ve Facebook aktivizmi örnekleminden hareketle dijitalleşmenin iktidar, toplum, birey, kamusal ve özel alanda nasıl bir dönüşüme yol açtığı, bu dönüşümün davranışları, algıyı, duyguları, düşünceleri ve hatta yaşam biçimini nasıl etkilediği üzerinde durmaktadır. Tartışmasını temellendirdiği eleştirel bakıştan hareketle günümüzün dijital gözetim toplumunun öznesini dijital sürü olarak tanımlayan Han, sürü içinde hareket eden öznenin topluluğun ve kamusal alanın parçalanmasından sorumlu olup olmadığını, gerçek bir politik eylem ve anlamlı söylem üretimini aşındırıp aşındırmadığını, kitle ruhu taşıyıp taşımadığını eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla yanıtlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmanın temel dayanağını dijital ortamdaki paradigma değişimini tam kavrayamayan öznenin bu yeni ortam tarafından nasıl “sürü”klendiği ve etkilendiği oluşturmaktadır. Bu etki gücünün kabulünden hareketle Han, kitabında, dijital sürünün nasıl ve hangi yönde bir değişimi sembolize ettiğini, nasıl konumlandığını ve temel özelliklerini infial toplumu, medyasızlaştırma, enformasyon yorgunluğu, saygı, temsil krizi, psikopolitika gibi kavram setleri üzerinden sosyolojik, siyasal ve kısmen ekonomik bağlam vurgusu içinde ele almaktadır. İlgili kavram setleri dijital sürünün aktif görünürken pasif, etken görünürken edilgen olma halinin anlaşılabilmesine de önemli bir kanıt oluşturmaktadır. Tüm okumalar ve değerlendirmeler sonucunda, dijital sürü kavramsallaştırımının Han’ın aktardığı şeffaflık toplumu, yorgunluk toplumu, performans toplumu, kontrol toplumu, dijital gözetim toplumu gibi kavramsallaştırmalarının tamamlanışı ve zorunlu bir sonucu olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.
भारतीय योग साधना में मंत्रयोग का वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोण

Published: December 2024

मन्त्र विज्ञान का समूचा आधार ही ध्वनि के विभिन्न उपयोगों, उपचारों, निर्धारणों पर ही ठहरा हुआ है। मन्त्रों की सरंचना में भाषा विज्ञान और व्याकरण अनुबन्धों का उतना ध्यान नहीं रखा गया है जितना कि अक्षरों के पारस्परिक गंुथन क्रम के आधार पर उत्पन्न होने वाले ध्वनि प्रकार के स्तर एवं प्रभाव का। महाकवि दण्डी ने मंत्र की महत्ता स्पष्ट करते हुए कहा है कि-
इदमन्धं तमः कृत्स्नं जायेत भुवन त्रयम् ।
यदि शब्दालयं ज्योति रा संसारान्न दीप्यते ।।
यदि शब्द रूपी ज्योति सृष्टि के आरम्भ से ही न होती, तो यह तीनों लोक आज तक पूर्ण अंधकार में ही डूबे रहते। मंत्र की सत्ता अपने आप में सर्वोपरि है। इसका प्रभाव निश्चित और स्थायी है। मन्त्र के माध्यम से एक ओर तो प्राण विद्युत के चक्र में आने वाली बाधाओं का निराकरण होता है, तो दूसरी ओर साधक को ब्रह्माण्डीय ऊर्जा का एक बड़ा अंश मिलता है। जिसके माध्यम से जीवन के किसी भी क्षेत्र में सफलता अर्जित की जा सकती है। अतः मनुष्य को जप अर्थात् मन के सुने बगैर जप की अविरामता पर ही केन्द्रित होना चाहिए तो बाकी सब कुछ अनायास ही होता चला जायेगा। यही मंत्र ध्वनि की सार्वभौमिकता और वैज्ञानिकता है।

Published: December 2024

This paper defines Archimedean, Caristi-Krirk balls, and Neutrosophic b metric space (Nb-MS). Usingthe Archimedean idea and complete Nb-MS, we have shown the existence of a shared fixed point usingtwo self-mappings and an upper semicontinuous function. We have demonstrated the existence of a fixed point by employing a k-continuous self-map and an upper semi-continuous function in conjunction with the Archimedean notion and complete Nb-MS. Furthermore, we have proven the completeness of the space by using Archimedean, Nb-MS, and a k-continuous self-map.MSC 2010: 47H10.

Published: December 2024

Background: Patients use anticonvulsant drugs to manage and handle disorders that are associated with seizures such as epilepsy. One of such drugs is Phenobabirone which is relatively expensive. These drugs however, have made patients to continue to experience inadequate seizure control even while using them. There is need to investigate cheaper sources of anticonvulsant agents. The leaves of Cleistopholis staudtii has been used traditionally to handle convulsant cases and could in future shows therapeutic relevance and use. .

Objectives: This research investigated the Anticonvulsant effects of methanol leaf extracts and fractions of Cleistopholis staudtii on swiss white mice. It also compared the anticonvulsant effect of these fractions of the Cleistopholis staudtii leaves with those of Phenobabirone.

Methodology: Fifty Swiss white mice (18-32g) were divided into ten (10) groups (n=3)as they were given orally; 10ml/kg 5% tween 80 (Control Group), , 200mg/kg crude extract (Group 3), 400mg/kg crude extract ( Group 4), 200mg/kg N-hexane fraction (group 5), 400mg/kg N-hexane fraction (Group 6), 200mg/kg Ethylacetate fraction ( Group 7), 400mg/kg Ethylacetate fraction ( Group 8), 200mg/kg Butanol fraction (group 9), 400mg/kg Butanol fraction ( Group 10) while Group 2 ( Positive control) was given 60mg/kg Phenobarbitone intraperitoneally . The groups had free access to water. These treatment were for seven(7) days after which they were injected with 200mg/kg Isoniazide and observations were made in regards to convulsion.

Results: The control group had convulsions at 34.7±6.07 minutes, while phenobarbitone delayed seizures to 90±0.0 minutes. The crude extract delayed convulsions to 47.3±14.91 minutes at 200 mg/kg and 65±21.93 minutes at 400 mg/kg. The N-Hexane fraction had a similar delay effect to phenobarbitone at both dosages, while the Ethyl Acetate and Butanol fractions had variable results. Mortality rates were 100% in the control group, reduced to 33% with phenobarbitone. The crude extract caused 100% mortality at both doses, and the N-Hexane, Ethyl Acetate, and Butanol fractions had 67% mortality at 400 mg/kg and 100% at lower doses. Phenobarbitone was the most effective, with 0.67±0.09 convulsions, compared to the crude extract with 6.7±1.50 convulsions at 200 mg/kg and 8.7±1.50 at 400 mg/kg. The N-Hexane fraction had 8.7±3.42 convulsions at 200 mg/kg and 10.3±1.70 at 400 mg/kg, while the Ethyl Acetate and Butanol fractions resulted in higher convulsion counts, especially at lower doses.

Conclusion: The Research showed that the Butanol Fraction of methanol leaf extracts of Cleistopholis staudtii exhibited better anticonvulsant effects in Swiss white mice.

This  study  explores  students’  perceptions  and  challenges  in  the implementation of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) at SMP Cahaya Bangsa Metro, Indonesia. EMI is increasingly adopted in non- English-speaking countries to prepare students for global academic and professional opportunities. The research utilized a descriptive method with purposive sampling, involving 11 eighth-grade students who had one year of EMI experience. Data were collected through classroom observation, semi-structure interviews, and documentation. Findings show that while students recognize the benefits of EMI, such as improved language proficiency and future opportunities abroad, they also face significant challenges. These challenges include difficulties with academic vocabulary, understanding technical terms, and adapting to teacher accents, particulary in subjects like science and math. Additionally, students prefer a mixed-language approach to enhance comprehension. The study higlights the need for tailored language support, clearer instructional strategies, and teacher training to address these challenges. By addressing these issues, educational institutions can create a more inclusive and effective learning environment for EMI students.

Authors: Trio Putra Siregar
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyse the effect of project-based learning (PBL) method on the understanding of geometry concepts in secondary school students. The main focus of the research is to understand how the application of PBL can help students overcome difficulties in understanding abstract geometry concepts, while improving critical thinking and collaboration skills. This research uses the literature study method by reviewing various scientific journals, books, and relevant articles that discuss the effectiveness of PBL in teaching geometry. This research method involves collecting, analysing, and synthesising previous research results to identify trends, successes, and challenges in the implementation of PBL. The results show that PBL is able to create a more interactive and contextualised learning environment, which allows students to connect geometry theory with practical applications through projects such as geometric model making, building design, or analysis of geometric shapes in everyday life. PBL is an effective method to improve the understanding of geometry concepts in secondary school students. This approach not only enriches students' learning experience but also helps them develop 21st century skills, such as problem solving and teamwork. The implications of this study underline the importance of training for educators as well as the provision of supporting facilities to maximise the potential of PBL in teaching geometry.

This study aims to prepare and assess the validity of learning media using charts and audio on ablution material in class VII MTs Muslimat NU Palangka Raya. Given the importance of a deep understanding of ablution in the context of religious education, this study applied the Research and Development (R&D) method with a 4D model limited to development. The needs analysis showed that students experienced a dilemma in understanding the material through conventional methods. Therefore, a media chart depicting the steps of ablution visually, accompanied by audio explaining the pillars and procedures of ablution, was designed to improve students' understanding. The validation results from media and material experts showed that this media was very feasible to use, with an average score of 89.5%. The advantages of this media are its attractiveness and interactivity, although there are some factors that need to be improved, such as adding examples and improving content. This research is expected to provide support for improving fiqh learning methods and become a reference for other educators in creating effective learning media. Further development can be done by adding interactive elements and testing the effectiveness of the media in a wider contex

La dinámica del desarrollo económico. Crecimiento, cambio estructural y desigualdad en Santiago del Estero, 1994-2007
Authors: Silveti Jorge Luis
Published: December 2024

El trabajo se centra en analizar las estructuras socioeconómicas de regiones subcapitalizadas
de la periferia capitalista, tomando como caso a la provincia de Santiago del Estero
ubicada en la zona noroeste de Argentina para el período 1994-2007, con el propósito de desentrañar
las particularidades del proceso de desarrollo en este tipo de territorios.
Santiago del Estero constituye una región pobre con escasa acumulación de capital y baja
productividad inmersa en un país periférico. En sentido estricto, no representa una sociedad
tradicional o agrícola, pero tampoco alcanzó a “despegar” en términos de estándares de
modernidad, con la crónica debilidad de su sector industrial. El período 1994 a 2007 fue
seleccionado en virtud a que permite examinar dos etapas de política social y económica con
opuestas líneas ideológicas y porque el período presenta todas las fases que integran un
ciclo económico completo: crecimiento, auge, depresión, crisis y nuevamente recuperación.
¿Se produjo cambio estructural? ¿El cambio estructural luego de la caída del Plan de
Convertibilidad, con la modificación del rumbo de política económica y mejoras macroeconómicas
notables, logró reducir la brecha salarial, mejorar la institucionalidad laboral,
incrementar la productividad y tender a una mejora en la distribución del ingreso? La investigación
persigue como objetivo general, la identificación de factores macroeconómicos y
estructurales relevantes que ayuden a develar los obstáculos que presenta la economía santiagueña
para enfrentar el desafío del desarrollo, en sus dimensiones cardinales de
crecimiento, estabilidad, cambio estructural e igualdad.
Los rasgos seculares de subcapitalización y atraso, concomitante con un mercado de trabajo
segmentado, exigen repensar el desarrollo no solo en términos de crecimiento estable, sino
recreando la institucionalidad y promoviendo el cambio estructural. Complementariamente
es necesario elaborar estrategias de largo plazo, que presten atención a las dificultades que
encierra la transición en sus aspectos económicos y sociales.

This study investigated the effect of the Concrete Representational Abstract (CRA) instructional strategy on form two students’ achievement in Algebra in Secondary Schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The research questions were: What is the difference in the mean achievement scores of form two students taught directed numbers using the Concrete Representational Abstract (CRA) instructional strategy as compared to those taught using the Conventional Abstract Instruction (CAI)? What is the difference in the mean achievement scores of form two students taught simplification of algebraic expressions using the Concrete Representational Abstract (CRA) instructional strategy as compared to those taught using the Conventional Abstract Instruction (CAI)? The study made use of a quasi-experimental non-randomized pre-test, post-test research design. The target population of this study was made up of form two students of all public secondary schools in Meme and Fako Divisions. The accessible population consist of form two students of Government High School (GHS) Bokwango and Cameroon College of Arts and Science (CCAS) Kumba. The Sample comprised of 464 Form 2 students with 215 students from GHS Bokwango and 249 from CCAS Kumba. Three research instruments were used namely: The Algebra Achievement Test (AAT) and Algebra Interest Inventory (AII) for students and the interview guide for 2 teachers of the experimental school. The reliability coefficients for AAT and AII were 0.87 and 0.81 respectively showing that the instruments were reliable and could be used for the study. The results revealed that Form 2 students performed better in Algebraic concepts of directed numbers and simplification of algebraic expressions when taught using the CRA Instructional Strategy compared to those taught using the Conventional Abstract Instruction (CAI). In addition, CRA instructional strategy arouses students’ interests in algebra. The recommendations for the study were: The Concrete Representational Abstract (CRA) instructional strategy should be adopted in the teaching and learning of algebra in particular and Mathematics in general in Cameroon schools. Also, teachers should be trained on how to teach Algebra in particular using the CRA Instructional Strategy and CRA should be incorporated into teacher training education programmes to equip potential teachers with the skills of CRA instructional strategy.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze students' mathematical communication skills in solving problems related to measures of central tendency in real-life contexts, focusing on the aspects of drawing, mathematical expression, and written text, as well as types of Newman’s errors. The analysis involved 25 students, with three selected as representatives based on their mathematical communication skill levels. The findings indicate that, on average, students exhibited a low level of errors across the three aspects, with average scores of 7.5 for drawing, 8.0 for mathematical expression, and 8.5 for written text. In the drawing aspect, students were able to present solutions visually well, although minor inaccuracies were noted. In the mathematical expression aspect, students understood the problems but tended to omit explicit solution steps. For the written text aspect, students often provided numerical results without formulating conclusions in sentence form. The main factors causing errors were a lack of habit in writing solution steps and conclusions, as well as a need for improved accuracy. A differentiated learning approach based on local wisdom positively contributed to reducing student error rates. However, strengthening practice in writing solution steps and composing conclusions is necessary to improve students' overall mathematical communication skills.
