Comparison of the Impact of Atracurium and Cisatracurium on the Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte Ratio in Addition to Hemodynamic Changes during Anesthesia Induction
Authors: Nazemroaya Behzad , Taei Sahand
Published: December 2024

Background: Muscle relaxants are used for two general purposes. One is to ease endotracheal intubation, and the other is provide surgical relaxation.
This study has been designed with the aim of assessing the impact of atracurium and cisatracurium on patients at the anesthesia induction and the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio.
Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial that was performed in 2022-2023 in Kashani hospital in Isfahan, Iran on patients that were candidates for elective surgery under general anesthesia by atracurium or cisatracurium. A total number of 80 patients entered and were randomized into two group’s one receiving group atracurium 0.5mg/kg, and other group received cisatracurium 0.15mg/kg over 60 seconds as NMB. Blood sample were taken base time, after 3, and 20 minutes following intubation. Qualitative data is reported as frequency with percentage. And quantitative data as average with standard deviation. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 25. Qualitative data were analyzed using chi-square tests and quantitative data using independent T test. Significance level was defined as p value <0.05.
Results: Overall, 80 patients were enrolled in this study. 40 of them belonged to the cisatracurium group and 40 to the atracurium group. Average age of the participants was 42.86 (±14.52) years old. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in cisatracurium group dropped significantly following intubation (p<0.005), while it rose significantly in the atracurium group (p<0.05). However neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was significantly higher in the cisatracurium group following intubation (P<0.05).
Conclusion: While the use of atracurium in patients is still safe, is yet more correlated with pronounced hemodynamic instability compared to cisatracurium.

Unusual Manifestation of Retained Product of Conception in the Cervix: A Case Study
Authors: Livani Somayeh , Fatemi Alireza , Jahanshahi Moghadese
Published: December 2024

Retained products of conception (RPOC) occur when fragments of the placenta or decidual tissue remain in the uterus, often leading to postpartum hemorrhage. Early and accurate diagnosis, aided by ultrasonography, is essential for appropriate management and prevention of complications. We report a case of a 22-year-old woman admitted to our tertiary medical department with irregular vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. She had no significant past medical history. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a normal-sized uterus with homogeneous myometrial echogenicity. However, a heterogeneous echogenic mass, exhibiting considerable vascularity and feeding vessels from the endometrial cavity, was observed in the cervix. Additionally, the patient’s beta human chorionic gonadotropin (Beta-HCG) concentration was positive, with a titer of 201 μ/l, despite her claim of being a virgin. Subsequently, the patient underwent hysteroscopy, during which an infected and malodorous lesion was removed from the uterus, confirming the diagnosis of RPOC. In follow-up assessments, she experienced no complications. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of RPOC located in the cervix have been reported previously, as RPOC is typically expected to be found in the endometrial cavity. This study aims to share our experience in considering the differential diagnosis of RPOC as cervical lesions and highlights the importance of ultrasonography in early pregnancy management
Idiopathic Non-Puerperal Uterine Inversion in a Young Female: A Case Report
Authors: Kumar Amit , Kumar Vinod , Sharma Priyam
Published: December 2024

Non-puerperal uterine inversion (NPUI) is an extremely rare condition. Our case is the second, where a young female (adolescent age group) presented with uterine inversion, and is the first without any identifiable cause of uterine inversion. Her chief complaints were chronic menorrhagia, abdominal pain, and episodes of acute urinary retention. Most of the reported cases have identifiable etiology for the inversion. The reporting of this case is worthwhile because of its rarity in such age groups and even without any defined cause (spontaneous occurrence), making the diagnosis of uterine inversion in this condition challenging, particularly in this very young age. In our case, she was initially misdiagnosed as having a cervical polyp clinically and radiologically, especially on ultrasonography (USG). Finally, it was diagnosed as uterine inversion by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis and retrospective evaluation of USG. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thus plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of uterine inversion. Treatment of uterine inversion is either mostly by manual repositioning, and if not possible, surgery is contemplated.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: The current study aimed to develop a valid and reliable questionnaire in both English and Persian to assess dental patients' knowledge and attitude during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Materials and Methods: Through a comprehensive literature review, we designed the primary questionnaire in English and then translated it into Persian. The questionnaire consisted of six sections covering background information, knowledge of emergency dental treatments, transmission routes of disease, required preparation, source of information, and attitude. To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, the researchers obtained expert opinions using the Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) and Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI/Ave). They distributed online versions of the questionnaire to a total of 60 English-speaking adults in Nigeria and the United States, and 60 Persian-speaking adults in Iran to measure its reliability using Cronbach's alpha.
Results: I-CVI score, S-CVI/Ave, and Cronbach’s alpha of the questionnaire ranged from 0.29-1, 0.62-0.99, and 41.1-87.6%, respectively. After reviewing the scores and comments received on each item, taking into account the opinions of the research team, a decision was made to remove, merge, modify, or retain certain items. This led to a final version of the questionnaire consisting of nine questions in the background section and 46 items in the remaining five sections.
Conclusion: Overall, the developed questionnaire appears to be valid and reliable for assessing the knowledge and attitude of dental patients toward COVID-19 in dental settings. It can potentially serve as an appropriate scale in future infectious disease epidemics across diverse populations.
Enhancing Software Security: A Research-Driven Automation Framework
Authors: Chatterjee Pushpalika , Das Apurba
Published: December 2024

With the ever-growing dependency on software in critical systems such as healthcare, finance, transportation, and defense, among many others, the need for robust security in software has never been greater. Breaches of security, in which an undetected vulnerability was often the culprit, lead to severe financial loss, loss of reputation, and even legal action for organizations and end-users. While technology has considerably improved, conventional security practices have repeatedly have failed to address the rapid growth of complexity and dynamic nature in modern software systems. The paper presents a critical requirement for an organized and active approach toward software security for its lifetime.
We propose an automation framework driven by research that responds to these challenges by fitting into the tight cooperation of security testing tools in order to automate the detection and mitigation of vulnerabilities: it engenders a continuous improvement culture of security. This framework will be tailored to support Agile development and DevOps workflows, seamlessly embedding security in the rapid, iterative cycles of development. This framework will allow an organization to measure and improve quantitatively its security practices over time by harnessing actionable metrics and insight.
Leveraging Machine Learning for Predictive Bug Analysis
Authors: Chatterjee Pushpalika , Das Apurba
Published: December 2024

Software quality and reliability are of the utmost concern in modern systems. Nevertheless, the growth in the scale and complexity of software development has made the traditional bug detection analysis techniques inefficient and resource-intensive. This is where machine learning-driven predictive bug analysis comes in handy: allowing one to make predictions by classifying and prioritizing software defects based on previous bug history. This paper explores the application of ML algorithms, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Neural Networks, for predictive bug analysis. It discusses data collection, preprocessing techniques, and evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall. The results have shown that ML-based models outperform traditional approaches concerning bug prediction accuracy. The paper also points out issues with the quality of datasets and computational overhead but goes ahead to proffer potential improvements that could be achieved using transfer learning and explainable AI techniques. This study highlights the potential transformative impact of ML on the quality of software and strongly encourages its use in mainstream software development.

Published: December 2024

In the era of increasingly tight educational competition, word of mouth is a vital key element in the strategy of developing educational institutions. In the Islamic boarding school education environment, there are various factors that influence word of mouth, the most important of which are service quality and perceived value. The purpose of the study was to analyze the role of student satisfaction in mediating service quality and perceived value in terms of word of mouth at Islamic boarding schools in Jombang Regency. This is a quantitative study with a causality design. Students from five major Islamic boarding schools in Jombang Regency, specifically Darul Ulum, Mambaul Ma'arif, Tebuireng, Tarbiyatun Nasyiin, and Bahrul Ulum Islamic Boarding Schools, comprise the population. The analysis tool, SEM AMOS, yielded a sample size of 200 respondents. The results of the study revealed that service quality and perceived value affect word of mouth through student satisfaction. To generalize the findings, we still need to develop variables that influence word of mouth; additionally, we need to conduct research with different objects, not only in the Islamic boarding school education industry but also in other service industries.
Banking sector development in a multi-currency environment: A Zimbabwean sector perspective
Authors: Mudzingwa Lasten , Mbizi Dr Rangarirai , Matowanyika Dr Kudzanai
Published: December 2024

The study sought to provide an understanding of banking sector development in Zimbabwe since the introduction of the multi-currency system. This was prompted by inability of Zimbabwe's banking system to efficiently and effectively execute its financial intermediary role of supplying affordable long-terms loans to productive sectors of the economy as a catalyst for economic growth in line with the finance-growth nexus. The study made use of an interpretivism research philosophy and utilized semi-structured interviews to gather qualitative data from a sample of fifteen senior bank executives. Study findings revealed that NPLs and thin liquidity are some of the major issues retarding the development of Zimbabwe's banking system by creating unnecessary inefficiencies. It was also concluded that most informal business entities are using the underground economy defeating banks' role of financial intermediation thereby curtailing banking sector development. Thus, the study recommends that banks should implement 'pay as you go' banking models to allow bank clients to only incur costs when a service is utilized as this will motivate and attract the informal sector into using the formal banking system alleviating the liquidity position of the sector leading banking sector development and ultimately economic development.

Wprowadzenie

Choroby przewlekłe są jednym z najpoważniejszych zjawisk i problemów współczesnego świata. Należą do nich astma, alergie i nadciśnienie tętnicze (nadciśnienie). Nawet krótkotrwałe narażenie na zanieczyszczone powietrze zwiększa częstość występowania zarówno nadciśnienia, jak i astmy. Celem badań jest określenie zależności pomiędzy poziomem wybranych zanieczyszczeń powietrza atmosferycznego w mieście Bielsko-Biała w latach 2018–2022 (dwutlenek azotu, pyły zawieszone PM2,5 i PM10 oraz benzo(a)piren) a zachorowalnością na astmę i chorobę nadciśnieniową wśród dzieci i młodzieży w wieku od 0 do 18 lat w Bielsku-Białej.

Materiał i metody

Na podstawie danych z Wydziału Zdrowia – Śląskiego Urzędu Wojewódzkiego w Katowicach, dotyczących zachorowalności na astmę i chorobę nadciśnieniową, przedstawiono tabele i wykresy ilustrujące częstość występowania tych chorób. Uwzględniono także średnie roczne stężenia wybranych substancji zanieczyszczających powietrze. Na podstawie programu Statistica i współczynników korelacji Pearsona zbadano związek pomiędzy występowaniem astmy i choroby nadciśnieniowej a zanieczyszczeniem powietrza.

Wyniki

Liczba zachorowań na nadciśnienie tętnicze i astmę wśród dzieci i młodzieży w Bielsku-Białej maleje i wynosi 32,1/10 000 w 2018 r. i 18,7/10 000 w 2022 r. w przypadku choroby nadciśnieniowej oraz 394,8/10 000 w 2018 r. i 319,9/10 000 w 2022 r. w przypadku astmy. Maleje także średnioroczne stężenie PM10 i benzo(a)pirenu.

Wnioski

W omawianym okresie nie nastąpiło przekroczenie średniorocznych stężeń analizowanych substancji. Zmniejszająca się zapadalność na astmę i nadciśnienie tętnicze ma związek z poprawą jakości powietrza atmosferycznego.

Authors: Hamad Essam M. , Musa Khalid H. , Elshaghabee Fouad M.F.
Published: December 2024

Background: Different beneficials of fermented milk products-containing Lactobacillus acidophilus to improve health status were investigated. Methods: Fermented acidophilus milk samples were prepared with freeze dried Lb. acidophilus La-5 and 0, 50, 100 and 150 mg/100 mL of water-soluble curcumin were added at the end of fermentation. Crude extracts (whey) of different fermented acidophilus milk formulates with curcumin were prepared and each extract was tested for its antibacterial activity, total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, anti-colonic cancer activity and fermentation profile (measured as lactic acid concentration). Further the sensory evaluation for each sample was conducted. Result: The results showed that no effect of the addition of curcumin on the viability of Lb. acidophilus La-5 either fresh or after 20 days of cold storage. However, the higher the quantity of curcumin added, the higher the antibacterial activity. The highest antibacterial effect was against Staph. aureus NRRL B-314. The total phenolic content and the DPPH free radical scavenging activity increased with the increase in curcumin. The higher the proliferative inhibition was achieved at higher level of curcumin. The addition of curcumin to fermented acidophilus milk samples help increase the quality of the product with negative effect on the sensory evaluation at higher level of curcumin. Finally, supplementation of fermented acidophilus milk with curcumin has no effect on the lactic acid production in fermented acidophilus milk samples. Therefore, the synergistic effect of water-soluble curcumin and Lb. acidophilus could be recommended for enhancing the functional properties of acidophilus milk.

In contrast to the content of Nizar Qabbani's poem, the poet describes how women can contribute to the lives of others. This research aims to reveal the forms of identity, power, and agency of women in the poem Asyhadu An La Imro'an Illa Anti by Nizar Qabbani. Rifaterre's semiotic theory is used to analyze poetry. This type of research is qualitative. The primary data source of this research comes from the poem Ashhadu An La Imro'an Illa Anti by Nizar Qabbani. Meanwhile, secondary data sources come from journals, artifacts, proceedings, and relevant books. The data collection technique used is the reading and recording technique. The data analysis techniques are data reduction, data exposure, and conclusion drawn. The results of this study show that there are 6 identities of women, namely diligent in all things, motherhood, generosity, attractiveness, companionship and protector, and bravery. The two forms of women's power are to make men helpless and to have power over the laws of the world. As well as a form of women's agency, which is to change life to be more colorful.
Dualism and Dialectical Approach in Dynamic Psychotherapy: Theoretical Basis and Clinical Experience
Authors: Özdemir Osman
Published: December 2024

Dualism is the coexistence of two opposing features that are interconnected but structurally different. Dialectical thinking is a way of thinking that focuses on overcoming the contradictions between opposites in the same whole. In other words, dialectics is to reason on at least two contradictory assumptions by doubting the accuracy of one-dimensional appearances of even the phenomena that are thought to be clear and precise at first glance, and to reach a consensus by overcoming the dilemma with the subsequent analysis process. Dualism, the coexistence of opposites, may be a characteristic mental feature of patients with borderline personality organization. The dualist perspective can also explain the splitting and other related defense mechanisms underlying the borderline personality organization. In these patients, two thoughts that seem to be completely opposite to each other can be integrated with a dialectical approach due to the effect of the splitting defense mechanism. The dialectical style, which focuses on the harmony of opposites and is dynamic and fertile in itself, is thought to be suitable for dynamic psychotherapy. The dialectical approach can guide the restructuring of the pathological mind, which is almost divided between two contradictory propositions in dynamic therapy, which has difficulty in understanding duality. Consider By employing dialectical thinking, patients can develop new perspectives, diverging from their traditional and customary approaches. This process allows them to arrive at new syntheses and achieve personal growth. Dialectical thinking style, which emphasizes that the same thing can have both good and bad sides, can spread from the therapy room to other areas of life over time and reduce the emotional irregularities experienced. Dialectical approach is a method used in psychotherapy.
Personality Disorders: A Theoretical and Psychometric Assessment
Authors: Albay Aybala , Atak Hasan
Published: December 2024

The concepts of personality and personality disorder have been defined and classified in many different ways from different perspectives from past to present. Over time, international classification systems such as DSM and ICD have been developed and a common framework for the classification of personality disorders has been tried to be established. Personality disorders can significantly affect an individual's functionality, relationships and quality of life. Therefore, studies on better understanding of personality disorders and diagnostic processes are gaining importance. In this context, the main purpose of this article is to make a review on personality disorders. In this article, definitions of personality, personality theories, personality traits and personality disorders are examined and diagnostic changes in the current versions of classification systems are discussed through ICD-11, DSM-5 and alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders. The main features and diagnostic criteria of these personality disorders are examined in detail. In addition, existing theories and studies on personality disorders are also discussed. Finally, the characteristics of the measurement tools used in the assessment of personality disorders are emphasized. This article aims to contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of personality disorders by providing both a theoretical and practical perspective. As a result of the study, it was observed that the dimensional approach was emphasized in international diagnostic systems related to personality disorders instead of the commonly used categorical approach. In parallel with this, it is also among the results of the study that various measurement tools have been developed to be used in the diagnosis of personality disorders according to the dimensional approach.
Osmanlı Ekonomik Düzeninde Vakıflar
Authors: Alkan Mustafa
Published: December 2024

Osmanlı Devleti, “Osmanlı klasik çağında” üç temel kurumun üzerine oturtulmuştur. Bunlar; dirlik, devşirme ve vakıf müesseseleridir. Bu üç kurumun üzerinde de “Hanedân-ı Âl-i Osman”ın bir numaralı üyesi padişah oturmuştur. Bu sistem içinde padişah, Osmanlı Devleti’nin en temel idari birimi olan her sancakta teorik olarak “en büyük has” sahibi, devşirme sisteminin merkezinde “kapı kullarının [yâni yeniçeriler, süvariler ve enderunluların] efendisi”, nihayet ülkenin imâr ve iskânının dayandığı vakıf -imâret sitesinde de “en büyük vakıf kurucusu”dur. Osmanlı sisteminde “devlet aygıtı” bu üç kurum üzerinde dönüyordu. Dolayısıyla vakıflar, Ömer Lütfi Barkan’ın 1527-1528 yıllarına ait tahrirler üzerinde yaptığı hesaplamaya göre Anadolu, Suriye ve Irak eyaletlerinin toplam gelirlerinin % 14,103’ne, Rumeli eyaletlerinin ise % 5,492’sine sahipti. Bu gelirlerin oranı İstanbul, Edirne ve Bursa gibi pâyitahtlarda % 36’ya kadar çıkmaktaydı. Vakıflar, Osmanlı ekonomik düzenini Avrupa merkezli merkantilist üretimden ayıran ana etmenlerdendi. O halde Osmanlı ekonomik düzeninde vakıfların yeri neydi? Bu temel soru bu çalışmanın ana konusunu oluşturacaktır.

Verem, çoğunlukla hava yoluyla bulaşan bir hastalıktır. Birçok bulaşıcı hastalık gibi Osmanlı Devleti’nin son döneminde ve Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarında yaygınlık kazanmış olan veremle mücadele etmek amacıyla cemiyetler kurulmuştur. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarından itibaren bulaşıcı hastalıklarla mücadele konusu, devletin en temel sağlık politikaları arasında yer almıştır. Mücadele derneklerinin, sağlık kuruluşlarının açılması yanında yasal düzenlemeler yapılarak veremle etkin mücadele gerçekleştirilmek istenmiştir. 1940’lı yıllarda Cemiyetler Kanunu kapsamında kurulmuş olan veremle savaş derneklerinin devletle işbirliği çerçevesinde veremle mücadele ettikleri anlaşılmaktadır. Mücadele kapsamında ülkenin farklı yerlerinde sanatoryum, dispanserler ve hastaneler açılmış, verem hastalarına yönelik teşhis ve tedavi hizmetleri yürütülmüştür.
Kayseri Veremle Savaş Derneği de bir sivil girişim olarak 1945 yılında kurulmuştur. Derneğin öncülüğünde hayırseverlerin ve devletin desteği ile Nuh Naci Yazgan Verem Savaş Dispanseri ve Hastanesi yaptırılmıştır. Bu sağlık kuruluşları, yapım modeli bakımından Anadolu’daki ilk örneklerden sayılmıştır. 1950 yılında sağlık hizmeti vermeye başlamış olan Nuh Naci Yazgan Verem Hastanesinin Kayseri başta olmak üzere Anadolu’da vereme yakalanmış olan hastaların tedavilerinde önemli bir merkez haline geldiği anlaşılmaktadır. Kurumların hatıra defterleri, arşiv belgeleri ve gazeteler ışığında; 1945-1965 yılları arasında Kayseri Veremle Savaş Derneğinin faaliyetleri, Nuh Naci Yazgan Verem Savaş Dispanseri ve Hastanesinin kuruluş süreci ile birlikte 1950-1965 yılları arasında Nuh Naci Yazgan Verem Hastanesine gerçekleştirilmiş olan ziyaretler çalışma içerisinde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma ile veremle mücadelede sivil girişim, hayırsever ve devlet işbirliği modelinin sağlık sektörüne yansıması açık bir şekilde ortaya konulmuştur.

İzmir’in 15 Mayıs 1919’da Yunanlılar tarafından işgalinden sonra, Türk askerleri 9 Eylül 1922’de Mustafa Kemal Paşa’nın kendisi de ertesi gün İzmir’e girerek işgali sonlandırmışlardır. 5. Kolordu Kumandanı Fahrettin (Altay) Batı Cephesi Kumandanlığına gönderdiği telgrafta, 9 Eylül günü saat 10.00’da 1. ve 2. Fırkaların ve devamında 14. Fırkanın hafif çatışmanın akabinde İzmir’e halkın alkışları ve sevinci arasında girdiklerini bildirmiştir. Böylece Türk Ordusu İzmir’e girerek Yunanlılara karşı yürüttükleri zorlu mücadelenin en değerli ödülünü almışlardır. Fakat 13 Eylül 1922’de, İzmir’in tüm fiziksel, ekonomik ve sosyolojik yapısını değiştiren bir yangın felaketi meydana gelmiş ve Yunan Ordusu Anadolu’nun içlerinden çekilirken kullandığı “yakıp yıkma taktiği”ni İzmir’de de devam ettirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, İzmir’in Türkler tarafından geri alınmasından sonra başlayan yangının sorumluları çağdaş yabancı basında yer alan haberler temel alınarak incelenmiştir.
The Strategic Implications of the Protracted Russian-Ukrainian War
Authors: Demir Sertif , Gürson Poyraz
Published: December 2024

Long-standing disputes between Ukraine and Russia escalated into a heated conflict in February 2022, resulting in significant repercussions across international politics, European
security, the NATO alliance, regional dynamics, and military strategy. This article aims to explore these effects in detail. Primarily, the article concludes that the Russia-Ukraine war has
disrupted the post-1990s rules-based global order that had ensured peace among major global powers for over three decades. Furthermore, the forcible violation of an independent state’s
borders by Russia, irrespective of international law, poses a grave threat to Europe’s security. In response to the visible threat posed by Russia, the NATO alliance rallied and strengthened
under the leadership of the United States. European states began prioritizing defense capabilities to deter potential threats from Russia. Moreover, the conflict underscored the increased
importance of artillery, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), air defense systems, and electronic target detection in military strategy.
General Erich Ludendorff’un Gözünden Topyekûn Bir Savaş Olarak Birinci Dünya Savaşı
Authors: Özgürbüz Merve Esra
Published: December 2024

Birinci Dünya Savaşı sadece bölge değil nüfus bakımından da bir dünya savaşıdır. Seferber edilen asker ile tahsis edilen kaynaklar göz önüne alındığında önceki bütün savaşları geride bırakır. Endüstrisi gelişmiş devletlerin güçlü olduğu savaşta son teknoloji; özellikle top, uçak, denizaltı, tank ve zehirli gaz kullanımı noktasında etkin rol oynar. Savaşın henüz başında denizaltı ile uçak gücünün kumandanlar tarafından hafife alınmasına rağmen söz konusu silahlar, savaş süresince daha çok kullanılmaya başlanır ve geliştirilir. Gelişen silahlarla birlikte stratejiler değiştirilir. Savaşta altmış beş milyon insan seferber edilir, sekiz milyondan fazla insan ölür, yirmi bir milyon insan yaralanır, Avrupa kıtasındaki eski imparatorlukların dördü yok olur. O güne dek yaşanan en şiddetli savaş olan Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın yankıları sadece savaş alanında değil, yazın dünyasında da kendini gösterir. Dünyadaki büyük dönüşümün izleri, savaşa şahit olan isimlerin anılarında mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılarak “topyekûn savaş” kavramı bağlamında Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda yaşanan dönüşüm ve söz konusu dönüşümün Erich Ludendorff’un hatırat kitabına nasıl yansıdığı üzerinde durulacaktır. Topyekûn savaş uzunca zamandır kullanılagelmiş bir kavram olmasına rağmen kavramın akademik bakış açısıyla incelendiği ve irdelendiği yayınlar sınırlıdır. Dolayısıyla bu kavramın bizzat Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nı deneyimleyen bir generalin
tecrübeleri aracılığıyla irdelenmesi önem arz etmektedir.

MEPEVIS/ Método de Ensino de Português Escrito e Visual para Surdos: um caminho para o ensino de leitura e escrita para alunos surdos
Authors: Prado Rosana
Published: December 2024

Esta pesquisa surgiu de experiências e práticas pedagógicas que levaram à necessidade de reflexões sobre o ensino de leitura e escrita para surdos. Tivemos como objetivo apresentar um método de ensino de língua portuguesa escrita para surdos, destinado aos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, com a intenção de contribuir com a formação de professores para o ensino de alunos surdos. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, qualitativa e exploratória. A revisão sistemática de literatura possibilitou acesso aos processos históricos, à legislação e às reflexões teóricas apresentadas. A pesquisa exploratória proporcionou maior familiaridade com o problema para torná-lo mais explícito e pensar sobre ele. As fontes de pesquisa foram livros, artigos, cartas (documento histórico) e apostilas informais sobre o método estudado, de uso pessoal de professoras de surdos em décadas anteriores (1970,1980 e 1990). O Método de Ensino de Português Escrito e Visual para Surdos (MEPEVIS) foi apresentado considerando os seus quatro tipos de ensino (interpretativo, ocasional, aplicado e sistematizado) e também as seis fases de ensino aprendizagem pelas quais os alunos surdos precisam passar. São elas: conceituação, fixação, avaliação, superação de dificuldades, aplicação e ampliação/generalização. O método evidencia uma aprendizagem por meio de experiências significativas, tendo a Libras como L1 e o português escrito como L2. Os resultados apontam para a importância de divulgar o método para que se torne acessível a todos os professores de surdos,não como uma verdade absoluta, mas como um caminho possível, seguro e bem estruturado.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan etnolinguistik secara teoritis dan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif secara metodologis. Lokasi penelitian secara geografis berada di enam desa Kecamatan Wonosari Kabupaten Klaten yaitu desa Jelobo, Gunting, Bener, Sidowarno, Kingkang dan Lumbungkerep. Objek kajian berupa pergeseran bahasa dan tradisi yang diekspresikan oleh petani dalam kegiatan persawahan. Data berupa tuturan yang di dalamnya terdapat bahasa dan tradisi verbal dan non verbal petani padi. Sumber data berasal dari informan, yaitu para petani yang berjumlah enam orang yang terdiri dari tiga orang petani tradisional dan tiga orang petani modern. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan metode simak dan cakap dengan teknik catat dalam wawancara mendalam yang dilakukan dengan informan. Ada tujuh pergeseran leksikon secara verbal yang disebabkan adanya modernisasi budaya dalam bidang pertanian, yakni ngraut menjadi matun, nglandrak menjadi nyorok/nggarok, nyebloki menjadi nyebar, mluku menjadi nraktor, tandhur menjadi tanju, derep menjadi tebas, ungser menjadi ngingser. Sedangkan leksikon baru, yakni tabela, drum seeder, dan ngombi. Wujud pergeseran tradisi nonverbal meliputi penggunaan memedi sawah dan klintingan. Petani tradisional dan petani modern sudah lebih memilih hal-hal yang praktis dan instan, hal ini menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai kerja keras sudah bergeser ke arah kerja mudah, praktis dan cepat.
