Authors: Hassan Arkan , Mraity Hussien
Published: June 2024

The work is aimed at investigating the entrance surface dose (ESD) for adult patients undertaking routine lumbar X-ray examination, and therefore ensure that the patients receive no excessive radiation dose during this radiography. This study was conducted at 4 selected hospitals: Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital (AHTH), Al-Nasiriyah Teaching Hospital (ANTH), Al-Haboubi Teaching Hospital (AHTH) and Souq Al-Shuyoukh General Hospital (SASGH) in Dhi Qar, Iraq. The ESD was calculated for 102 adult patients who underwent X-ray examinations of the lumbar spine using the physical parameters (i.e. Tube voltage-kVp, Tube loading- mAs and distance between X-ray tube and detector- SID) from all considered X-ray units, as well as on the X-ray tube output that was measured using an ionization chamber (Rad-Check Plus). The enrolled patients also had their demographic information recorded (gender, weight and height). The finding demonstrated that the average ESD values were (4.886, 4.288, 6.047, 6.378, 5.949, 9.322, 12.731, 4.094) mGy for AHTH1, AHTH2, AHTH3, ANTH1, ANTH2, ANTH3, AHTH, SASGH, respectively. The ESD values were seen to be comparable with internationally recognized sources UNSCEAR 2010, UK 2012, EC, and IAEA and with previously published studies such as those in Sudan 2014, Iran 2020, Nigeria 2019, and Ghana 2023. Finally, further studies must be carried out, and the relevant institutions must conduct continuous training courses for radiographers to ensure that the radiation dose is within the recommended level.
जिउँदो लास नाटकमा असामान्य पात्र {An Unusual Character in Jiundo las Drama}
Authors: पोख्रेल Pokhrel ठाकुरप्रसाद  Thakurprasad
Published: June 2024

The article titled "Abnormal Characters in Living Corpse Drama" delves into the peculiar behavior and thoughts exhibited by the characters within. It explores how desires, harbored within the conscious mind, become suppressed in the unconscious realm due to their inability to be fulfilled in a timely manner. Drawing from Sigmund Freud's psychological theory, it posits that when such repressed sentiments cannot find external expression, characters manifest abnormal behaviors when confronted with challenging circumstances within the play. Urmila, for instance, depicted as awaiting her husband for years, finds herself in a state of profound dependency, unable to endure solitude. Symbolically represented by Mausuli, a snake, her husband's absence haunts and terrifies her in her dreams. This imagery symbolizes the struggle of existing as a living corpse, consumed by a desire for death rather than embracing a legitimate existence. Similarly, Radhakrishna emerges as an unconventional character who perceives individuals as Murkutas and classrooms as Masanghats. Through the utilization of subheadings such as topic introduction, study method, theoretical framework, plot analysis of Jiendo Las Natak, and examination of Jiondo Las Natak, the article meticulously dissects the abnormal behaviors of the characters. Ultimately, the article concludes that if repressed desires remain unfulfilled over time, individuals may descend into abnormality and mental instability, ultimately leading to their demise.

This study aims to identify medium components (carbon source, carbon concentration, nitrogen source) and fermentation conditions (temperature, pH) to enhance the resistance against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubenseTropical Race 4 (Foc Tr4), causing Panama wilt disease of Streptomyces sp. VNUA116 (VNUA116). By using the agar well diffusion method, it was determined that strain VNUA116 has strong anti-fungal pathogen activities FocTr4 under fermentation nutrients: YIM 301 medium, carbon source CB1 (soluble starch 40 g/l: D-glucose 1 g/l, and nitrogen source N1 beef extract 3 g/l: yeast extract 5 g/l: peptone 3 g/l). Additionally, optimal fermentation conditions were established, including pH 7, and temperature 30oC. Strain VNUA116 exhibited the highest antifungal activity, reaching a diameter of 30.67±0.58 mm after 10 days of cultivation. Furthermore, under these optimised fermentation conditions, Streptomycessp. VNUA116 demonstrated an impressive inhibitory capability against Foc-Tr4, reaching up to 93.20%, equivalent to the concentration of the fungicide Ridomil gold 68WG at 3 g/l in laboratory conditions. This affirms the considerable potential of the VNUA116 strain for applications in the production of biofertilizers for the biological control of Panama wilt disease in banana plants.

Three-dimensional ordered porous nanostructures have been considered as a key factor in developing high-performance photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting applications due to their high light absorption capacity and large surface area. In this study, the authors design and fabricate the three-dimensional ordered CdS/ZnO porous structures by the hard mould method. Firstly, polystyrene (PS) spheres were deposited on the indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive substrate; secondly, the gaps among the spheres were filled with ZnO material using electrochemical deposition; then the PS spheres were burned and formed the ordered porous structure of ZnO; finally, CdS nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of ZnO by wet chemical method to form a three-dimensional ordered CdS/ZnO porous structure.The photoelectrochemical water-splitting properties of the fabricated structures were studied and compared systematically. The results show that, under the irradiation of solar simulation, the efficiency of the optimised three-dimensional ordered CdS/ZnO porous structure is 3.4%, nearly 1.9 times higher than that of with 1.8% efficiency of thin-film CdS/ZnO structure at the same fabrication conditions.

Objectives: Determine the association between BRAF V600E mutation in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), small papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC 1-1.5 cm), with tumour-aggressive characteristics. Subjects and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of 104 patients with PTMC diagnosed by histopathology and with BRAF V600E gene mutation testing results. Study subjects were divided into 2 groups: PTMC (tumour size ≤1.0 cm) and PTC 1-1.5 cm (tumour size 1-1.5 cm) and evaluated aggressive features (macroscopic extrathyroidal invasion, lymph node metastasis, high-risk variants). Results: BRAF V600E gene mutation was detected in 72.8% of PTMC and 76.5% of PTC 1-1.5 cm. The proportion of tumours with aggressive features in PTMC with and without mutations was 66.7 and 52.63%, respectively (p=0.28). The proportion of tumours with aggressive features in PTC 1-1.5 cm with and without mutations was 80.7 and 100%, respectively (p=0.309). In the PTMC group, the rate of extrathyroidal invasion was higher in tumours with BRAF V600E mutation (p<0.05). No association was found between BRAF V600E gene mutation and lymph node metastasis, high cell variation, and more than one aggressive feature in both PTMC and PTC 1-1.5 cm patient groups. Conclusions: In the PTMC group, the rate of extrathyroidal invasion was higher in patients with the BRAFV600E mutation. No association was found between BRAFV600E gene mutation and other aggressive features in patients with PTMC and PTC 1-1.5 cm.

The study aimed to evaluate the level of environmental pollution from shrimp farming in coastal areas of Soc Trang province. A total of 10 shrimp farming households and 50 neighbouring households were interviewed about emissions and environmental sanitation conditions. At the end of the shrimp season, pond water samples were collected from 5 semi-intensive ponds and 5 intensive ponds, bottom sediment samples were collected from 5 semi-intensive ponds to evaluate the level of pollution. Interview results indicated that wastewater and bottom sediment from shrimp farming are the main causes of declining surface water quality and reducing the number of wild fish; pollution levels are likely to increase in the future. The pH, total suspended solid (TSS), BOD5, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values of pond water samples are suitable for shrimp farming (except TSS of water samples in Cu Lao Dung and Long Phu); total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (TP) contents fluctuate widely between sampling ponds. The metal content in the bottom sediment is lower than the allowable discharge threshold of sediment quality standards. Solid waste generated in farming areas has not been properly collected and treated. To sustainably develop the shrimp industry, local authorities need to encourage shrimp farmers to apply proper waste treatment technologies in addition to state management solutions.

Theprimary objective of this study is todelve into the factors potentially influencing resource utilisationefficiency at the provincial level in Vietnam. We leverage 185 data points gathered from 63 Vietnamese cities or provinces, obtained from two key sources: the General Statistical Office of Vietnam and the Ministry of Information and Communications Vietnam. The collected data was subjected to analysis using an empirical econometric model that incorporates time-series characteristics to explore the connections between these potential determinants of resource consumption efficiency. The analysis revealed a strong correlation between resource utilisationefficiency and the quality of digital transformation, logistics performance, and various aspects of public governance,including accountability to higher authorities, control of corruption, administrative procedures, and public service delivery. Additionally, the provincial competitiveness index, encompassing factors like entry costs, policy bias, and labourpolicy, also demonstrated a significant association. These findings highlight a clear link between effective public governance and efficient resource utilisationin Vietnamese provinces. This suggests that robust public governance systems, combined with advancements in digitalisationand logistics, can play a crucial role in optimisingresource utilisationwithin Vietnamese provinces.
ЛІНГВОСИНЕРГЕТИЧНИЙ ВИМІР КОНЦЕПТУ «УКРАЇНСЬКА ІДЕНТИЧНІСТЬ»: РАЦІОНАЛЬНО-ЛОГІЧНИЙ МОДУС
Authors: Таценко Наталія , Молгамова Лілія , Отрощенко Лариса
Published: June 2024

Центральною темою дослідження є обґрунтування нового лінгвосинерегичного погляду на концепт УКРАЇНСЬКА ІДЕНТИЧНІСТЬ як вербалізований цивілізаційний бренд. Стверджується, що структурними частинами концепту є три модуси: 1) раціонально-логічний, 2) образно-ідентифікаційний та 3) організаційний. Починати аналіз складної динаміки концепту необхідно з раціонально-логічного модусу, у межах якого досліджується лексичне значення імені концепту ІДЕНТИЧНІСТЬ, оскільки значення мовного вислову прирівнюється до позначуваного ним концепту. Лексичне значення імені концепту проаналізовано за допомогою методики компонентного аналізу із царини структурної семантики на ґрунті словникових дефініцій із виокремленням ключових сем як найменших складників номінативного поля концепту. Вказана методика виявила, що лексема ідентичність не має того семантичного наповнення, яке вкладають у неї користувачі в процесі вживання з лексемою українська, а використовується в українському дискурсі як аналогія до англомовної лексеми identity. Тим самим ми вважаємо, що те, що вкладається в семантику концепту УКРАЇНСЬКА ІДЕНТИЧНІСТЬ, вичерпніше передається словосполученням українська національна самосвідомість. Ба більше, лексико-семантичні поля словосполучень українська ідентичність та українська національна самосвідомість мають властивості фрактальної подібності. Відтак елементи та семантичні складники цих словосполучень створюють «семантичний фрактал», семи якого повторюються і розгортаються в різних контекстах і аспектах, зберігаючи загальний смисл концепту. За такого підходу семи концепту (мікрофрактали) «проростають» одна в одну, ідентифікуючи його смисл і маючи у своїй семантиці ознаки інших мікрофракталів цього концепту. Показовим є те, що ця властивість самоподібності, забезпечуючи виконання закону єдності в різноманітності, породжує цілісне сприйняття концепту. За результатами здійсненого аналізу запропоновано визначення концепту УКРАЇНСЬКА ІДЕНТИЧНІСТЬ.

Published: June 2024

No Brasil o transporte coletivo de ônibus está enfrentando vários problemas agravados pelo COVID 19. O sistema de transporte público foi identificado como um potencial vetor de transmissão do vírus, mas após a implementação de medidas para prevenir a propagação do vírus, a demanda por esse serviço essencial diminuiu ainda mais. Este artigo analisa as condições do transporte público em Manaus-AM para a segurança dos usuários diante da pandemia de Covid 19. Nesse sentido, este estudo fará pesquisas bibliográficas para identificar os fatores que eles acreditam serem mais importantes para a qualidade e combate ao COVID 19 no transporte público, a fim de fornecer as ferramentas necessárias para a resolução do problema. Para estabelecer uma linha de base, foram escolhidas rotas pelas áreas mais remotas da cidade e com maior número de passageiros diários. Foi então possível constatar que algumas linhas de transporte público têm um fluxo significativo de pessoas que as utilizam para sair de casa. Essas linhas foram então divididas em zonas para determinar se o número de pessoas afetadas se correlaciona com a quantidade de passageiros transportados. Foi possível restabelecer as medidas primárias de controlo da Covid 19 para os transportes públicos, bem como as ações previstas como estratégias chave para prevenir a propagação do vírus entre os passageiros com base na proteção individual. As evidências forneceram informações que mostram que o sistema de transporte público pode ser responsável pela propagação do vírus. Os passageiros podem ajudar a reduzir o risco de transmissão mantendo as mãos limpas e usando equipamentos de proteção, como máscaras. Além disso, o congestionamento do tráfego causado pelo uso do transporte público precisa ser gerenciado e evitado. Para diminuir o risco de transmissão, devem ser seguidas as recomendações de saúde ao utilizar o transporte público.

Published: June 2024

The digital ecosystem has transformed communication from one-way to horizontal, allowing consumers to actively participate in the dissemination and creation of news. Digital platforms, especially social media, have changed society, forcing journalists to adapt to new ways of working. In this context, Meta's Threads platform, launched in Spain in December 2023, seeks to be an alternative to X. In Spain, the main national newspapers have started to use it, but with less frequency and engagement compared to Facebook and Instagram. The newspapers El País and La Vanguardia use Threads' resources, such as Threads and emoticons, but in general, the platform is not perceived as essential for extending the reach of news, so a communication model is proposed that increases the notoriety of the medium and its information and promotes conversation and audience loyalty.

Authors: Lemeshchuk Ruslan
Published: June 2024

It is substantiated that the basis of the successful activity of any enterprise today is its personnel potential. From the qualification level of personnel, his general experience and motivation depends on the effectiveness of the enterprise. It is proved that possessing specific operational and strategic functions, the staff provides a leading role in the development of any enterprise. Until recently, such concepts as "personnel adaptation system" and "personnel management" were completely absent in the practice of management at enterprises.It is analysed that modern conditions of management require HR management to improve the system of adaptation of personnel at enterprises. This is the most important factor in the system of ensuring the efficiency of staff.It is substantiated that the adaptation of personnel is a complex process of familiarizing new employees with the conditions and rules of work in the enterprise, as well as assistance in integrating a new colleague into the team. This adaptation is necessary for both new employees and those who change positions, but remain to work in the enterprise.
The article notes that in addition to the individual selection of personnel, the general system of personnel adaptation at enterprises is aimed at creating a favourable microclimate in the team, establishing partnerships, securing new employees at the enterprise. As a result of the functioning of this system, the enterprise receives economic stability, increasing labour productivity and the level of individual responsibility, increasing staff motivation, creating a positive image of a company or enterprise, improving competitive positions in the labour market.
It is investigated that despite the fact that each individual enterprise carried out adaptation and management of personnel directly through the top management, it had an established system of personnel management. In connection with the processes of decentralization, all talent management systems needed a thorough review and updating. Change of these systems began with the introduction of social packages, flexible work schedules, moral and material incentives for staff

Current State of Resistance to Antibiotics in Enterobacterial Isolates at the National Hospital Center of Nouakchott-Mauritania
Authors: Lemine Ould Salem Mohamed
Published: June 2024

Enterobacteriaceae are Gram-negative bacteria, facultative aero-anaerobes found everywhere. They include a very large number of genera and species. Their abundance in the intestine, their mobility, the rapidity of their multiplication, the frequent acquisition of mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics. Objective : The objective of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated from various infectious sites in outpatients and hospitalized patients. Material and method: This is a prospective study carried out in the central laboratory of the Nouakchott Hospital Center and involving 300 strains of enterobacteriaceae isolated from various samples taken from different departments or external consultations. The study was conducted from November 1, 2020 to July 30, 2021 Results : In our study E. coli represents (66.6%), followed by K. pneumoniae (27%), E. cloacae (2.3%). The study of the resistance of these strains to antibiotics revealed resistance rate: Amoxicicillin (93%), Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (77.6%), Gentamicin (16%) and (9.4%) Fosfomycin. Conclusion : The significant increase in the frequency of enterobacteriaceae has become worrying in both hospital and community settings. However, implementation requires collective awareness through in-depth training of healthcare teams. Currently, the reference treatment for infections due to multiresistant enterobacteria is essentially based on the use of carbapenems. It is nevertheless fundamental to obey a rational prescription of these antibiotics to limit the emergence of carbapenemase-producing strains. Controlling the spread of enterobacteriaceae requires strict compliance with simple hospital hygiene measures.

The significance of interaction between gut microbiota and vaccination is discussed and its potential benefit emphasized.
Facilitating Digital Empowerment for Intelligent Cares in Mountain Region
Authors: Tang Shiming
Published: June 2024

Intellectual disability and dementia are age-dependent terms for a cognitive impair occurring during developmental age and in adulthood, respectively. Intellectually disabled people like any other people may develop dementia in adulthood. Thus, clinicians should learn to differentiate dementia-indicating signs from intellectual disability related cognitive deficiencies for an early diagnosis and treatment onwards. In intellectual disability, intellectual and adaptive skills of an individual are two standard deviations below the expected age-matched population, and dementia is characterized by a progressive cognitive decline. The cause of both disorders can be genetic, acquired or multifactorial. An increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in Down syndrome is well known unlike the development of dementia in other intellectual disability syndromes. This commentary discusses 1) how the dementia indicating signs present in intellectually disabled persons, 2) why it is important to distinguish dementia (and its causes) from intellectual disability and 3) why it is important to know the etiology of intellectual disability.

Results: 2 well-designed trials, the EMPEROR-Preserved and DELIVER trials, have shown that use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with decrease cardiac events in patients with HFmpEF and HFpEF. In the EMPEROR-Preserved, empagliflozin 10 mg/d decreased a composite primary outcome of cardiovascular (CV) death or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) compared with placebo, hazard ratio (HR) 0.79 (95% CI, 0.69-0.90, P<0.001). In the DELIVER Trial, dapagliflozin 10 mg/d decreased the primary outcome of CV death or worsening HF, HR 0.82 (95% CI 0.73-0.92, P<0.001). The effects of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin on the primary outcome were evident and statistically significant versus placebo after 13-18 days post randomization. In both EMPEROR-Preserved and DELIVER trials, no significant effects on CV death were demonstrated. By pooling data from the 2 trials, the effects of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin on CV death was close but did not reach statistical significance, HR 0.88 (95% CI 0.77-1.00, P=0.052). Meanwhile, after pooling 2 dapagliflozin trials to include patients with HFrEF (DAPA-HF trial) and HFmpEF + HFpEF (DELIVER trial), dapagliflozin significantly decreased CV death, HR 0.86 (95% CI, 0.75-0.98, P=0.02) and all-cause mortality, HR 0.90 (95% CI, 0.82-0.99, P=0.03). The CV effects of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin were consistent regardless of age, gender, presence or absence of diabetes or atrial fibrillation. Yet, the effect of empagliflozin on decreasing HHF was attenuated in patients with baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥60% and disappeared at LVEF ≥65%. On the other hand, dapagliflozin effects on cardiac outcomes remained consistent regardless of baseline LVEF. Both empagliflozin and dapagliflozin were generally well tolerated, with rates of drug discontinuation due to adverse effects similar to those with placebo. Conclusions: SGLT2 inhibitors should be the standard of care in patients with HFmpEF and HF pEF similar to their established indication in patients with HFrEF. Until direct comparison between empagliflozin and dapagliflozin becomes available, dapagliflozin should be the SGLT2 inhibitor of choice, particularly in patients with HFmpEF and HFpEF.

Olfactory alterations in long COVID
Authors: Orsini Neves Marco Antônio
Published: June 2024

Olfactory anosmia is the complete loss of the sense of smell, while hyposmia is the partial loss of smell. SARS-CoV-2 is the pathogen responsible for COVID-19. The virus is composed of the membrane, envelope, and spike protein. In the physiology of smell, odoriferous substances bind to proteins secreted by sustentacular cells to be processed by olfactory receptor neurons. Olfactory dysfunction is one of the main manifestations of COVID-19. The duration of persistent symptoms in long COVID is longer in patients who presented severe symptoms compared to those with mild or moderate disease. Therefore, all known risk factors for severe COVID-19, such as obesity or advanced age, fit the risk profile for long COVID.

The use of mycophenolate mofetil in psoriasis: An educational article and expert opinion
Authors: Al-Mosawi Aamir
Published: June 2024

Background: Patients with mild psoriasis are generally treated with topical medications including corticosteroids, coal tar, anthralin (Dithranol), salicylic acid, vitamin D analogues such as calcipotriol, retinoid such as tazarotene, and calcineurin inhibitors such as pimecrolimus. The most commonly used safe systemic non-biological medications include methotrexate which has been used as early as the 1960s, mycophenolate mofetil which has been used as early as the 1970s, and acitretin which has been used as early as the 1980s. Safe systemic biological medications include infliximab which has been used as early as 2001. Patients and methods: The case of a 51-year-old diabetic and hypertensive male who had moderately severe psoriasis with history of arthritic symptoms is described. Results: The patient had been treated with several topical medications for years; however, the steroid containing topical therapies have been recently linked with worsening of hyperglycemia. Therefore, topical treatment was replaced with oral methotrexate 5 mg twice weekly. After few weeks of methotrexate treatment, there was slight improvement, and therefore increasing the dose of methotrexate to 7.5 mg twice weekly was suggested by the earlier treating physician, however, the patient was reluctant to increase the dose methotrexate because he has already aware of the possible hepatotoxic effect. When the patient presented to us, he had significant area of his body affected and systemic treatment was considered necessary. The decision was made to add oral mycophenolate with attempt of gradually withdrawing methotrexate. According to the published experiences with the use of mycophenolate monotherapy in psoriasis, a satisfactory response is expected to occur in about 70% or less, and therefore the decision was made add topical calcipotriol 0.005% and give once daily at night. Conclusion: The current evidence-based expert opinion suggests that the choice of the treatment of methotrexate resistant psoriasis depends to a large extent on the availability of the medication, and the experience of the treating physician with the available medications. Mycophenolate can be used safely with beneficial effect in severe psoriasis and methotrexate psoriasis.
Mehmet Rakım Elkutlu’nun Arşivlerde Şarkı Formu Olarak Geçen Eserlerinin Form ve Usûl Açısından Tahlili
Authors: Yıldırım Mustafa

Osmanlının son döneminde yetişmiş olan Mehmet Rakım Elkutlu Cami, tekke ve fasıl mûsikîsi formlarında çokça eserleri bulunan nadir bestekârlardan biridir. Bu özelliğinin temelinde hafız kimliğiyle yıllarca cami imam hatipliğini yapmış olmasıdır. Diğer ve önemli özelliği ise Mevlevî bir ailenin içinde yetişmiştir. Amcası olan İzmir Mevlevîhânesi Şeyhi Emin Dede’den mûsikî meşk etmiş ve bu sayede dergahtaki âyinlere dâhil olmuştur. Türk Mûsikî’nin gelişmesinde sayısız bestekâr ve icrâcıların yetiştiği ve adeta mûsikî okulu hüviyetinde olan Mevlevî dergahında postnişin olarak görev almıştır. Türk mûsikîsinin en seçkin formlarından Mevlevî âyinlerini defalarca meşk etmiştir. Bu birikimleriyle İzmir’de 1946 yılında İzmir Türk Mûsikîsi Cemiyeti’ni kurmuştur. Yirmili yaşlarda bestekârlığa başlayan Elkutlu, Türk mûsikîsi repertuarına sayısız eser kazandırmıştır. Altı yüze yakın bestesinin olmasına rağmen maalesef çoğu notaya alınmadığı için unutulmuştur. Abisinin erken yaşta vefat etmesi nedeniyle geçimlerini sağlamak amacıyla abisinin eşi evlenmek zorunda kalmıştır. Elkutlu sonrasında Sıdıka Hanım’la evlenmiş ama üvey kızı Adviye’nin kıskanç halleri sebebiyle evlilik kısa sürmüştür. Muhtemeldir ki bu olaylar nedeniyle eserlerinde bu yansıma görülmektedir. Bu bakımdan mıdır yoksa Osmanlı’nın sön dönemlerinin mûsikî açısından galatı meşhur bir şekilde “Romantik Dönem” bestekârı olduğundan mıdır bilinmez ama bestelerinde bu dönemin özelliklerine şarkı formundan çokça bestelerinin bulunması iki duruma da işaret edebilir. Çalışmamızda Rakım Elkutlu’nun arşivlerde şarkı formu olarak geçen besteleri form ve usûl yönünden incelemesi tasnifi yapılacaktır. Elkutlu’nun şarkı olarak geçen bazı eserleri içinde ana usûl haricinde ikinci bir geçki usulü bulunduğundan şarkı formu özelliği taşımayıp “Fantezi” formundadır. Türk mûsikîsi hakkında araştırmacıların doğru yönlendirilmesi açısından çalışma önemlidir. Çalışmada arşivlerde şarkı formu olarak geçen 93 adet bestesinin 33 tanesinin Fantezi formunda olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

A comparative analysis of juvenile anadromous and freshwater (stream) forms of the Black Sea brown trout Salmo trutta labrax Pallas, 1814 was conducted using 10 meristic and 62 morphometric characters of cranial bones. This analysis included the counts of teeth and pores in the bones, as well as measuring of their shape characters. As a basis for comparison, data on juvenile anadromous and freshwater Atlantic salmon Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758 were used. The osteological differences between ecological forms were more pronounced in the brown trout than in the Atlantic salmon. In the brown trout, a greater number of meristic characters differentiated the forms compared to the salmon. However, for morphometric characters, the reverse pattern was observed. The freshwater forms exhibited characteristics intermediate to the anadromous forms of the two species, being more similar to the anadromous form of their species than to each other. Juvenile anadromous Black Sea trout typically had the fewest teeth, while juvenile Atlantic salmon had the most, with freshwater forms showing intermediate values. The most significant differences in the shape of cranial bones were also observed between the juvenile anadromous forms of two species. The characteristics pertaining to the number of pores in cranial bones did not reveal clear patterns when comparing the samples. Among the studied bones and characteristics, those showing the most significant differences between Black Sea trout and Atlantic salmon were identified, and species-specific features were noted. The results obtained show that juveniles of different ecological forms within the same species of the genus Salmo exhibit statistically significant osteological differences, suggesting a high genetic determination of these traits and the influence of selection within river systems on the divergence between freshwater and anadromous forms. Despite this, the variability in all studied characteristics indicates plasticity, resulting in the differences between the species and ecological forms within the genus Salmo typically not reaching the threshold for subspecies differentiation. These results align with previous studies on adult individuals and indicate that the freshwater form of the Atlantic salmon displays osteological characteristic of a more ancestral species, namely the brown trout.
