Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the effect of green finance on the sustainability of banks in Jordan. This paper is a quantitative used questionnaire to collect data from 25 banks operating in Jordan. Moreover, the data was collected between March and April 2024 in Amman. As a result, a total of 292 responses were received; they were selected using a random sampling technique, all of which were suitable for statistical analysis. 292 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS-29 and Smart-PLS-4.1.0.3. The findings indicated that GF has a positive effect on Jordanian banks sustainable performance. In addition, environmental, social, and economic aspects have a significant and positive effect on Jordanian bank sustainable performance. However, this paper provides a result that will be useful to banks in understanding the factors that influence customers' decisions to use green finance as well as the challenges they may face. Future research could also provide a framework for other countries to use in designing their sustainable finance initiatives.

Authors: Adesina Evaristus , Salawu Abiodun
Published: December 2024

This study sought to identify the language use, pattern of themes, and context of utterances used in risk communication messages for COVID-19 in Lagos State, Nigeria. COVID-19 pandemic poses a threat to the sustainability of public well-being globally. Hence, risk communication is becoming a plausible tool in curbing the spread of the virus. Existing studies have largely focused on clinical analysis for Covid-19, to the neglect of indigenous language risk communication interventions. In addition, to determine whether perceived panic resulting from exposure to indigenous language information on COVID-19 cases interferes with respondents’ comprehension of risk communication messages in Lagos state. The study employed the mixed methods of content analysis and survey to examine three indigenous language jingles. Four hundred respondents were also randomly selected for this study. The study found that indigenous language risk messages focused majorly on preventive measures while paying minimal attention to important factors such as COVID-19 causes, symptoms, and curative measures. Furthermore, the study revealed that unwholesome risk perceptions led to 52.8% of respondents paying little attention to indigenous language risk managers. Thus, the study advocates for the adoption of the COVID-19 Risk Communication Phases Model developed during the study.

Published: December 2024

Background: Shoulder impingement syndrome is a clinical situation that presenting with shoulder pain, difficultly and weakness. Present study designed for evaluating the effect of radiofrequency and corticosteroid injection in longterm treatment follow up for pain reduction and functional evaluation of shoulder joint.
Methods: Sixty patients were analyzed equally in two treatment groups. Post-treatment follow up at one, four and twelve weeks after procedures were carried out using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain relief, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) for shoulder function and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Results: Both treatment groups showed significantly pain reduction (P-value<0.001 for both) in 4 weeks after procedures. In time point comparison between 4 to 12 weeks postoperatively, there were significantly reduced pain in R group (P=0.03), but not significant in C group (P=0.1). Total SPADI score was significantly lower in RF group in time points 1 and 4 weeks (P<0.001), but not significant in 12 weeks of follow up.
Conclusion: Radiofrequency could not be sufficient alone for retrieving function of the shoulder at the long periods of time after procedure, unless good and effective results for first 1 and 4 weeks of follow up.

Authors: Mohebbi Maryam , Hosseinali Beigi Effat , Mohebbi Rezvaneh , Ghodsi Maryam
Published: December 2024

Background: Central venous catheter (CVC) thrombosis is one of the most common complications of CVC that occurs in children and adults. Prevention of this blockage improves the treatment process and reduces treatment costs. Due to the lack of studies on preventive methods of CVC thrombosis, this study aimed to examine the effect of NS flushing heparinized and prophylactic dose of enoxaparin in prevention of CVC induced thrombosis in hospitalized patients in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
Methods: Eighty pediatrics with Central venous catheter admitted to the PICU enrolled in this trial and were divided into two groups as receiving heparinized normal saline was flushed every 8 hours under sterile conditions and receiving enoxaparin trough injection subcutaneously every 12 hours. The incidence of CVC-related thrombosis, diagnosed using color Doppler ultrasound of the vein containing the catheter was measured. Patients were monitored daily in terms of clinical symptoms related to thrombosis.  
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, anthropometric findings and vital sign as well as risk factors between two groups of the trial (P>0.05). Additionally, the finding showed a statistically significant relationship between major surgery (P=0.01) and heart disease (P=0.03) with symptomatic and asymptomatic thrombosis between the enoxaparin and heparinized normal saline groups. The rate of sepsis and bleeding were lower in enoxaparin group but it was not significant between study groups.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that enoxaparin may be considered as a clinical approach in thrombosis management and more clinical trials are needed.

Authors: Mehta Sumedha , Saundattikar Girish , Valake Kiran.C. , G.Kandukwar Swapnil.
Published: December 2024

Intraoperative Airway management of Pan facial fracture is always challenging due to difficult airway resulting from airway trauma and airway sharing between the anesthesiologist and maxillofacial surgeon. Submental intubation is considered a good alternative technique over tracheostomy for providing a clear field intraoperatively for maxillofacial fracture fixation. We want to discuss airway management maneuvers using Awake fiberoptic bronchoscope-assisted intubation and submental intubation technique and the challenges we faced in a patient presented with Pan- facial fracture with difficult airway posted for surgery.

Published: December 2024

In the present case report, we have found a novel variant for TRIOBP in a patient with congenital hearing loss. The patient is an 8-year-old female with hearing loss, the first child of consanguineous parents. To identify the underlying genetic defect, whole genome sequencing was performed. Carrier screening of the parents was also conducted. The results showed a homozygous autosomal recessive missense c.5849C>T (p.Pro1950Leu) variant in exon 16 of the TRIOBP gene. To our knowledge, this variant has not been previously reported as either a pathogenic or a benign variant. The novel TRIOBP variant found in the present study broadens the range of TRIOBP mutations implicated in hearing loss. Accordingly, the results of this study may be important for genetic counseling.

Hair Loss Associated with Sertraline: A Case Report
Authors: Hosseini Seyed Hamzeh , Ghazvini Hamed , Seyedhosseini Tamijani Seyedeh Masoumeh , Rafaiee Raheleh
Published: December 2024

Sertraline is classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is extensively employed in the management of a range of psychiatric conditions, encompassing major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. While the overall incidence of hair loss is not extensively documented, it is recognized as a possible cutaneous reaction to SSRIs, including sertraline. In the present study, we report the case of a 16-year-old Iranian female of Persian ethnicity who had been treated for panic disorder. She developed severe hair loss two weeks post-initiation of treatment with sertraline 50 mg per day. She stopped the medication after two months when she had lost 50% of her hair. The exact mechanism remains unclear, but it is suggested that SSRIs like sertraline may induce hair loss by pushing hair follicles into the telogen phase prematurely, leading to diffuse hair shedding. Management typically involves dose adjustment or discontinuation of sertraline, which has been shown to resolve hair loss in multiple cases. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for both patients and healthcare providers. Although rare, this side effect can considerably affect a patient’s overall quality of life and compliance with therapeutic regimens.

This research main objective has been to determine how psychological factors affect financial decisionmaking processes as well as individual financial behaviors are affected by psychological factors. This work aims to discuss specific psychological factors that underlie financial decisions and the importance of financial literacy to correctly approach the financial aspect and increase the level of saving and investment. The paper also seeks to analyze how some forms of cognitive bias, frame effect impact choices and emotions, self-signaling in relation to decision-making as well as self-control in managing money and illustrates how each of these factors can either have a deleterious effect or improve financial wellness. It posits that financial literacy reduces the impact of psychological biases on financial decision –making process in order to enhance the quality of financial decisions. It also provides information that can help individual, financial institutions as well as policy makers to encourage better decision making regarding financial products through informative financial education. This work specifies the psychological motives and thus explains the psychological factors inhibiting sound wealth creation and makes a point about the necessary component of personal wealth to be financial literacy.
Plastic Mulch’s Effect on Cauliflower Yield and Yield-attributing Traits in Protected Structures in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand
Authors: Bijalwan Priyanka , Pandey Vandna , Rawal Jyoti , Ranjan Ritesh , Pandey Harish
Published: December 2024

Background: Cauliflower, cultivated for its curd, an immature inflorescence, is a temperature-sensitive crop. Due to its need for very specific weather patterns for both the transition from vegetative to curd initiation phase and the growth of curd, this crop is highly susceptible to climate change. Due to the plant’s sensitivity to environmental conditions, an experiment was conducted in the mid-hills of the western Himalayas during the rabi season of 2020/21 to assess the impacts of different plastic mulching on yield and its yield-attributing features under polycarbonate. Methods: The experiment included three separate runs and was set up in a randomized block design. Cauliflowers of the ‘’Amazing’’ type were subjected to five different treatments (T1: black polythene mulch, T2: red polythene mulch, T3: silver polythene mulch, T4: yellow polythene mulch and T5: control). Result: Red polythene mulch was the most efficient method of enhancing yield and yield-related traits.

Authors: Kavipriya J. , Mahandrakumar K. , Kavinila M.
Published: December 2024

Background: In the Cauvery Delta Zone farmers faced a lot of hurdles to get involved in the production of food grain crops. So far, the farmers in the Cauvery Delta Zone have moved away from paddy to other crops for at least one season. Farm diversification is the product of both internal and external factors. Since, Diversification is an inevitable phenomenon in the Cauvery Delta Zone due to situational, economic, technological, and administrative factors, but the influence of such variables on the decision-making of farmers is not yet known. Methods: This study analyses the weight coefficients of perceived factors influencing diversification towards seasonal commercial crops through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Result: The result of the study shows that the economic dimension in seasonal commercial crops was the most important criterion which implies the highest weightage score of 0.328.

Published: December 2024

Background: The complexity of the distribution patterns of drought and soil water balance across various regions raises questions about how the mechanism of drought events responds to climate anomalies. The research aims to determine the climate anomaly pattern of maize drought levels based on land water balance with FAO Penman Monteith evapotranspiration value estimates in Gorontalo district, Indonesia. This research was carried out from April to August 2020. Methods: The research location was in Limboto subdistrict, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia. The material in this research is climate data from 1997 to 2016 (20 years) including rainfall, solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperature, exposure time, air humidity and wind speed. The tools in this research are sample rings, Belgi drills, GPS, documentation tools. The method used is the drought index analysis method and the water adequacy index based on the FAO Penman Monteith evapotranspiration method. Result: El Nino and La Nina climate anomaly patterns occur every 5 to 7 year recurring period. The highest level of drought with strong drought status occurred during the El Nino anomaly in 1997-1998 for 8 months and this triggered a decrease in harvested area and corn production with a coefficient of reduction in vulnerable production category. La Niña climate anomaly years 1999 and 2007 had an impact on low accumulation potential of water loss with highest level of drought weak status and this triggered an increase in harvested area and corn production with a coefficient of reduction in very resistant production category.

Authors: Alsoufi, Mohammed Abdulrazzaq , Aziz Raghad Akram
Published: December 2024

Background: An immobilized enzyme has been meeting the demands of clean usage technologies and sustainable production practices in food sciences applications. Methods: Partial purification of protease from Prickly lettuce Lactuca serriola L. leaves using ammonium sulfate, immobilization, characterization and application as antimicrobial against the growth of some food spoilage bacteria, either alone or in synergistic with extract of Welsh onion Allium fistulosum L. Result: The immobilization efficiency of protease was 78%. The optimum pH and temperature of activity for free (FP) and immobilization (IP) protease was 8.5 and 60°C, respectively. The (FP) and (IP) were stable for 4 and 15 days of storage at 4°C. The (IP) activity was stable up to 15 reuses. The antimicrobial effect of (IP) was greater than that of (FP) on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, while it was the opposite for the use of Welsh onion extract (WO). The synergistic effect from (IP) and (WO) (1:1) showed a noticeable increase in the inhibition growth of both bacteria. The absorbance (%) at 610 nm for growth of bacteria over incubation showed significant change (P£0.01) compared to the control to be 22.48±1.37, 45.74±2.06, 33.33±1.79, 63.75±3.64 and 82.17±4.05% for S. aureus, while it is 9.52±0.71, 68.71±3.52, 45.59±2.75, 77.55±3.81 and 92.52±3.98% for E. coli when using 100, 100, 75+25, 25+75, 50+50 mg of (IP) and (WO), respectively.

Published: December 2024

Background: The research, conducted throughout the 2019-20 period, aims to investigate the response of garden pea cultivars to rhizobium and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in terms of nodulation, growth and yield. The objectives included examining the influence of rhizobium and PSB on nodulation ability and studying the yield response of different cultivars under co-inoculation. Additionally, the research attempted to investigate nitrogen and phosphate uptake in several garden pea cultivars. Methods: The experiment utilized a Split-Split plot design, with main plots comprising five pea cultivars (P-89, AP-3, Bonneville, Arka Kartliik and Arka Apoorva), sub-plots with rhizobium inoculationand sub-sub plots with PSB inoculations. Each variety had four treatments: Uninoculated control, rhizobium, PSB and rhizobium+PSB. Result: In terms of growth and yield metrics, AP-3 exhibited the quickest days to 50% flowering, whereas Arka Apoorva displayed the tallest plant height (109.93 cm). P-89 stood out in yield characteristics, including pod weight (7.34 g), number of pods per plant (41.99) and green pod yield (126.75 q/ha). Rhizobium and PSB co-inoculations were found to have a considerable impact on yield gains. Regarding quality metrics, Bonneville pods had the greatest TSS content (16.90 Brix) and AP-3 had the highest dry matter content (23.60%). Nodulation experiments found that P-89 had the maximum number of nodules per plant (75.56) and demonstrated the highest uptake of both nitrogen and phosphorus. Overall, the dual inoculation of Rhizobium + PSB outperformed single inoculation and the uninoculated control in all recorded parameters.
Interventions for the Treatment of Eco-anxiety
Authors: Subaşı Turğut Fatma , Öztürk Masum
Published: December 2024

Accumulating literature predicts that more individuals will begin to experience distress related to climate crisis , so studies on how clinicians can respond to such distress seem important. However, a review of the literature on interventions for eco-anxiety suggests that research is limited and existing studies have weak empirical foundations. Despite the limited literature, we aimed to build a picture of approaches that mental health professionals can use to make informed choices about eco-anxiety intervention. This review aims to provide an understanding of interventions to reduce eco-anxiety by summarising empirical studies and conceptual interventions in this area. Psychoanalytic approaches, grief-focused therapies, group therapies, existential therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and art-focused therapies are among the intervention methods that can be used in clients with eco-anxiety. In addition, holistic approaches such as ecotherapy, encouraging pro-environmental behaviors, and supporting self-care and resilience-building strategies are recommended in the eco-anxiety approach.
Entre Territorios Académicos y Tierras Inexploradas: ¿qué se hace de lo que se hace con una llamada?

Published: December 2024

Cada vez más vemos la producción de conocimiento en la academia organizada en territorios disciplinares, no solo en términos de materiales sino que también de marcos teóricos. Aunque existan discursos divergentes, las especificidades formativas parecen imperar de alguna manera. En los últimos años, diversos autores se han cuestionado sobre esas fronteras de la producción del conocimiento. Autores como Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari (1977, 1992, 1995, 1997), con una propuesta de la filosofía de la diferencia, nos provocan al asumir el territorio como algo no cerrado y cuyas conexiones no se limita desde el exterior. Se hace por medio de actos y gestos que rompen, amplían y crean territorios posibles.
Karadeniz’in Kuzeyinde İskit-Grek İlişkileri
Authors: Durmuş Eda
Published: December 2024

Orta Asya’da MÖ 800 yıllarında bir kuraklık yaşandı. Bu nedenle İskitler doğudan batıya göç etti ve Karadeniz’in kuzeyindeki bozkırlara geldi. Grekler ise koloni kurmak amacıyla Karadeniz’e ulaştı. Bu esnada Grekler Karadeniz’in hem güneyinde hem de kuzeyinde koloni şehirleri kurdu. Bu gelişmeler sonucunda İskitler ve Grekler arasında ilişkiler başladı. Karadeniz’in kuzeyinde İskit egemenliğinden sonra Sarmat egemenliği başladı. Sarmat egemenliği döneminde de İskit ve Grek ilişkileri devam etti. İki toplum arasında iktisadi, askerî ve kültürel ilişkiler oldu. Grek kolonistler İskitlerden ihtiyaçları olan malları aldılar. İskitlere ise ihtiyaçları olan malları sattılar. İskit ülkesinden en fazla buğday ihraç edildi. Diğer ihraç malları arasında sığır, deri ve kürk bulunuyordu. İskit ülkesine Grek malları ve zanaat ürünleri ihraç ediliyordu. Bunların başında zeytinyağı ve şarap geliyordu. İskit askerî gücünü ve İskitlerin ok atıcılıktaki başarısını bilen Grekler, Atina şehrinin korumasında İskit okçularından yararlandılar. İskitler gelenek ve göreneklerine çok bağlıydılar. Dış kültür etkileri ve karşılıklı kültürel etkileşime kapalıydılar. Buna rağmen İskitlerden Grek kültür çevresine gidenler oldu. Kendi kültürlerini anlatma ya da kendi kültürleriyle Grek kültürünü karşılaştırma imkânı buldular. Bu çalışmada İskitler ile Grekler arasında gerçekleşen ilişkiler iktisadi, askerî ve kültürel boyutuyla ortaya konulmaya çalışıldı.
68 Kuşağının Türk Erkeğini Çizmek: Sakal ve Bıyık Modasında “İsyankâr Gençlik”in Siyasal İnşası
Authors: Göksen Nesimi
Published: December 2024

Türkiye’nin iki darbe arası döneminde (27 Mayıs 1960-12 Eylül 1980), üç büyük toplumsal dönüşüm yaşanır. İlki, 68 kuşağıyla birlikte ortaya çıkan “kuşak çatışması”, ikincisi, Soğuk Savaş ideolojisinin yarattığı “sağ-sol cepheleşmesi”, üçüncüsü ise köyden şehre göçün neden olduğu “kimlik bunalımı” idi. Bu faktörler aynı zamanda kültürel çatışmanın belirginleştiği bir toplumsal sürece işaret etmektedir. Akademik literatürde, 68 kuşağına mensup gençlerin ideolojik mayalanma süreci ve bu ideolojik fikirleri uğruna verdikleri mücadele dair meseleler farklı boyutlarıyla incelenmiştir. Lakin gündelik hayata konu olan sakal-bıyık modasının siyasal kimlik inşasındaki etkisi ıskalanmıştır. Makale, dönemin katı ideolojik ikliminde solcu, ülkücü, İslamcı kimliklerin sakal-bıyık şekilleri nasıl kristalize oldu? Bu üç siyasal hareketin sakal-bıyık tarzları üzerinden birbirlerine ve kendilerine yönelik bakışları, imajları ve algıları nasıldı? Bir politik kimlik sembolü olarak bıyık sembolleri nasıl icat edildi? Gibi araştırma sorularına cevap aramaktadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, sakal-bıyık modasının 68 kuşağına mensup isyankâr erkekler üzerinde nasıl politik bir kimlik inşa ettiğini ortaya koymaktır. Başka türlü söylemek gerekirse, bu makale, popüler kültürün bir yansıması olan modanın siyasal kimlik aracına dönüştürülme hikâyesini problematize etmektedir.
Rusya Federasyonu’nun Arktik Stratejisinin Analizi
Authors: Hamzaoğlu Halit
Published: December 2024

Rusya Federasyonu’nun (RF), Arktik politikası ve stratejisi kronolojik olarak dört aşamada ortaya çıkmıştır. İlk aşama, Soğuk Savaş sonrası ortaya çıkan koşullar çerçevesinde hayata
geçmiştir. RF, bu dönemde Arktik politikasını bölgesel ve uluslararası işbirliği mekanizmaları aracılığıyla inşa etmeye çalışmıştır. İkinci aşama, 2000’li yıllardan başlayan ve RF’nin Arktik
bölgesine yönelik politikalarının koordinasyon sürecini kapsamaktadır. Bu aşamada RF, Arktik bölgesindeki sosyo-ekonomik çıkarlarını bir ulusal güvenlik konusu haline getirmiştir.
Üçüncü aşama, RF’nin Kırım’ı ilhakı sonrası ortaya çıkan jeopolitik dönüşümle kendini göstermeye başlamıştır. RF bu süreçte Batı ile yaşadığı sorunlar nedeniyle, dış politikasında
Doğu yarımküresini önceleyen bir yaklaşımı benimsemeye başlamıştır. Bu dönemde RF’nin Arktik stratejisinin olgunlaştığını ve böylece tamamlayıcılık ve süreklilik ihtiva etmeye başladığını
söylemek mümkündür. Dördüncü aşama, 2020 sonrası meydana çıkan yeni uluslararası koşullara bağlı olarak gelişmiştir. Bu süreçte RF, Arktik bölgesindeki jeoekonomik ve jeostratejik
çıkarlarını pekiştirmiştir. Çin ile özellikle ulaşım ve enerji alanlarında yeni işbirliği mekanizmaları oluşturulmuştur. Kutup İpek Yolu gibi girişimler, söz konusu mekanizmaların
jeoekonomik ve jeostratejik kapsamını ortaya koymaktadır. Makalede, RF’nin Arktik stratejisi söz konusu kronolojik süreç dikkate alınarak irdelenmektedir. RF’nin Arktik stratejisinin
hangi ölçüler ve öncelikler çerçevesinde ortaya çıktığı sorunsalı, makalenin temel kurgusunu oluşturmaktadır. Bu bağlamda RF’nin Arktik stratejisinin ortaya çıkmasına zemin hazırlayan
dönemsel koşulların önemi vurgulanmaktadır.
Kars’ta Önemli Bir Urartu Merkezi: Taşdere/Sosgert Kalesi
Authors: Karageçi Mustafa , Albayrak Pınar
Published: December 2024

Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nin Erzurum-Kars Platosunda yer alan Kars ili, zengin akarsu kaynakları, verimli otlakları ve tarım alanları ile oluşturduğu elverişli ortamın katkısıyla eski çağlardan itibaren yerleşim görmüştür. Önemli yol güzergâhlarının kesişme noktasında yer alan bölge, kültürlerin yayılmasında da önemli role sahip olmuştur. M.Ö. I. binden itibaren kuzeye doğru bir genişleme siyaseti izleyen Urartular, bölgede önemli bir krallık olan Dia(u) ehi Krallığı’nı hâkimiyet altına almak ve daha kuzeye yayılmak için bölgeye çok sayıda sefer düzenlemişlerdir. Bu amaçla bölgeyi kontrol altına almak isteyen Urartular, askeri ve lojistik anlamda güçlenmek için önemli yol güzergâhları üzerinde kaleler inşa etmişlerdir. Urartu Krallığının kuzey yayılımı içerisinde olan Kars ve çevresinde de bu amaçla kaleler inşa edilmiştir.
Kars ili, Arpaçay ilçesine bağlı Taşdere köyünde yer alan Taşdere/Sosgert Kalesi’nin bir Urartu yerleşmesi olduğu düşünülmektedir. Zira Arpaçay, Anadolu’dan Kafkaslara geçiş güzergâhı üzerinde, su kaynakları bakımından zengin bir bölgedir. Bu bakımdan kalenin bu yol güzergâhı üzerinde ve stratejik bir konumda yer alması, Urartuların kuzey seferleri esnasında kaleyi etkin bir şekilde kullanmış olabileceklerini düşündürmektedir. Taşdere/Sosgert Kalesi, Karahan çayının oluşturduğu vadinin hemen güneyinde, vadiden yaklaşık 30-40 m yükseklikte kayalık bir alanda kurulmuştur. Kalede ana kayaya oyularak oluşturulmuş depo, sarnıç, kaya basamaklı su tüneli ve kiklopik teknikte yapılmış sur duvarlarına ait mimari yapılar bulunmaktadır.
Geç Orta Çağ Avrupa’sında İktidar Mücadelesinde Köylü-Burjuva İşbirliği: Flander Örneği (1297-1328)
Authors: Yavaş Halil
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmamızda Geç Orta Çağ’da Flander’de ortaya çıkan isyanlar zincirini mütalaa etmeyi hedeflemekteyiz. Bunun için Flander bölgesinin erken dönemi, şehirler ve loncalar hakkında kısa bir malumat verdikten sonra isyanların oluşumuna zemin hazırlayan siyasi ve ekonomik etkenler üzerinde duracağız. Olayları kronolojik bir şekilde dönem kaynakları ışığında ele alırken, bir yandan da muhtelif problemler üzerinde değerlendirmelerde bulunacağız. Bu problemlerin başında isyanın niteliği, İngiltere-Fransa münasebetlerinin etkisi ve feodal sistem ile şehirleşme bağlantısı gelmektedir. Çalışma konumuz aslında XII. – XV. yüzyıllar arasına yayılmakla beraber, daha iyi tahlil yapabilmek için olayların en yoğun yaşandığı ve belirleyici olduğu XIV. yüzyılın ilk yarısı ile sınırlı tuttuk. Flander’in, İngiltere ve Fransa ile ilişkilerine gerektiği kadar girerek konuyu dağıtmamayı hedefledik. Çalışmamızda varacağımız en önemli çıkarım, sözünü ettiğimiz isyanın bir devrim olmadığı yönündedir. Ayrıca olayları, günümüzdeki anlamıyla bir sınıf çatışmasından öte burjuva ve köylülerin kendi iktidar ve ekonomik çıkarlarını muhafaza etmek için birlikte hareket edip, feodal sisteme direnmesi olarak değerlendirmekteyiz. Hatta isyanın bir sonucunun da feodal sistemin Fransa’dan kuzeye doğru ilerlemesinde Flander’in engel olduğunu ifade edebiliriz. Netice itibariyle bölgedeki ayaklanmaları ne Fransa’daki ne de İngiltere’deki köylü isyanlarıyla mukayese etmememiz gerektiği kanaatini taşımaktayız. Olayların gelişimi hakkında malumat verirken mümkün mertebe dönem kaynaklarından istifade etmeye çalıştık. Lakin konuyla ilgili tartışmalarda alanında uzman isimlerden de istifade ettik ki bunların başında, Ortaçağ Flander’inden söz edeceğimiz zaman ilk müracaat edilecek isim Henri Pirenne gelmektedir. Onun yanı sıra David Nicholas, W. Blockmans, William H. TeBrake gibi çok sayıda araştırmacıdan faydalandık.
A PERCEPÇÃO AFETIVA DE AFFORDANCES
Authors: Moreira de Carvalho Eros
Published: December 2024

Rob Withagen radicalizou a distinção entre affordances e solicitações em dois aspectos: (i) affordances deixam de cumprir um papel explicativo do comportamento do organismo, apenas solicitações o fazem; (ii) solicitações não são apenas affordances relevantes afetivamente carregadas, elas abrangem também percepções errôneas afetivamente carregadas. Argumento que Withagen foi longe demais. Se entendemos as affordances como uma relação entre as habilidades de um organismo individual e o seu ambiente, então já temos recursos suficientes para incorporar a afetividade. Afetos tanto constituem habilidades perceptuais quanto modulam o seu exercício, de modo que não há percepção de affordance completamente livre de afetividade. Estados afetivos são cruciais para dirigir a nossa atenção para as possibilidades de ações que são relevantes para a ativida¬de em que estamos engajados e para nos dar um senso da qualidade da nossa relação com o ambiente.

UM ESTUDO DAS EMOÇÕES NA CONSTITUIÇÃO DA LINGUAGEM E DA MENTE: A SEGUNDA PESSOA
Authors: Orione Arraes Fagundes Julilana
Published: December 2024

Resumo: O presente trabalho trata das atribuições de estados mentais, indispen¬sáveis às nossas interações com outras pessoas, traçando uma comparação entre as atribuições de atitudes proposicionais e as atribuições emocionais. A mente é aquilo que parece ser, o estudo de nossos mecanismos cognitivos revela os aspectos ontológicos do mental. Ao atribuirmos estados mentais proposicio¬nais às outras pessoas, somos capazes de nos relacionarmos por meio de uma linguagem complexa e articulada. Porém, na base dessas atribuições, estão as interações de segunda pessoa, presenciais, corpo-a-corpo, em que as emoções de um dos envolvidos são diretamente alteradas pela expressão emocional do outro. A relevância dos mecanismos de atribuição de emoções por meio da interpretação comportamental será abordada. Além disso, argumentar-se-á que, sem as interações de segunda pessoa, a linguagem e a subjetividade complexa caracteristicamente humanas não serão constituídas.

O artigo propõe elencar os elementos materiais e os processos mentais interrelacionados na afetivização da leitura de um texto narrativo de ficção. A partir de proposições da pragmática linguística, a materialidade do texto é descrita como uma estrutura de comunicação com o leitor; em diálogo com a narratolo¬gia baseada em teorias de mundos possíveis, os efeitos dessa comunicação são descritos como o estímulo ao conhecimento e interpretação e mundos ficcionais e enredos singulares. Quantos aos processos mentais estimulados pela leitura, parte-se da teoria da consciência de Michael Graziano para situar a semiose dos símbolos linguísticos como um processo basilar de afetivização, que leva, num grau ascendente de complexidade, à interpretação dos estados mentais, à moralização das ações e à enação dos estados conscientes dos personagens, que predominam nos estágios conscientes da relação afetiva com o texto. Como resultado, tem-se um modelo global preliminar, a ser lapidado posteriormente.

CRENÇAS MÍSTICAS E ESTADOS AFETIVOS: EXPLORANDO LACUNAS NA CÊNCIA COGNITIVA DA RELIGIÃO
Authors: De Souza Campos Verônica
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo é apresentada uma crítica ao programa de pesquisa em ciência cognitiva que se dedica ao estudo da religião, a chamada ciência cognitiva da religião (CCR). Argumentamos que essa disciplina negligencia o papel das emoções e estados afetivos em sua tentativa de explicar por que crenças religiosas são aderentes, isto é, memoráveis, evocativas e de fácil disseminação. A explicação oferecida pela CCR é estruturada, em larga medida, em cima da Hipótese da Contraintuitividade Mínima, que relaciona a aderência de crenças religiosas ao grau de contraintuitividade dos conceitos que figuram em seu conteúdo. Embora essa hipótese explique satisfatoriamente a aderência de algumas crenças religiosas, há uma variedade de crenças religiosas – as chamadas crenças místicas – cuja aderência não parece poder ser explicada sem o envolvimento estados afetivos. No artigo, um exemplo concreto é apresentado, o exemplo da crença mística na consciência cósmica, ou consciência suprema.

WHAT IS THIS PAIN THAT I FEEL? ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NOCICEPTIVE SYSTEM FOR THE INTEROCEPTIVE EXPERIENCE OF PAIN
Authors: De Luca-Noronha Daniel
Published: December 2024

Although the multidimensional nature of pain experience is acknowledged by many researchers, the relationships among dimensions are not always clarified. An important issue concerns the relationship between the nociceptive system, which is part of the peripheral nervous system, and the interoceptive experience of pain, which is encroached by cognitive and emotional processes. Some researchers in the neurosciences, and in philosophy, hold what we will refer to as the “dispensability view”: that the nociceptive system is contingent on the experience of pain. Accordingly, nociceptive activation is sufficient, but not necessary to pain experience. At first glance, this view seems suitable for explaining pain cases that are difficult to diagnose, such as certain types of chronic pain and phantom limb pain. However, the view is that it fails to address two desiderata of pain theories: first, a conceptual issue, consists of the difficulty experienced by chronic pain patients in reporting their own pain. Second, an empirical issue, relates to recent research relating chronic pain to problems in pain signal processing due to a hypersensitivity of the nociceptive system that overburden the interoception. These two desiderata are closely connected: the hypersensitivity of the nociceptive system overloads interoception, thereby exceeding the descriptive capabilities of patients. Thus, we will argue that for a theory of pain to meet these desiderata, it must commit to the indispensability of the nociceptive system.

Apart from functioning as a barrier to houses and other properties, gates can also function as a noise barrier. The gates in Balinese vernacular houses have various typologies and are equipped with locking walls which can act as a noise barrier against sounds coming from the street into the house. This research is a case study research, using a field survey method. The type of gate studied is the cangkem frog type which has a free yard and is located on the collector road. Data was obtained through direct observation and measurement using a sound level meter to determine the results of field measurements. This research shows that choosing the design and location of gates and tension walls as well as adding gates can reduce traffic noise by 5 to 13 dB.

Bali is one of the tropical locations where urban heat islands are felt. An alternative that may be discussed in an effort to lessen solar heat radiation in buildings in order to improve thermal comfort without having a detrimental effect on the environment is solar reflecting paint. This study uses the Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2011 software simulation method to demonstrate the impact of applying a layer of solar reflecting paint coating (Solar Reflectance Index = 106) on the roof of a contemporary Balinese structure. The thermal comfort of the original model and the model covered in reflective paint were compared using simulation data in the form of Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT), Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD). A decline in the MRT, PMV, and PPD values is indicative of a change in the average thermal conditions of buildings, according to the research findings

A house is a building that functions as a residence or dwelling and as a means of family development. A house should not be considered solely from a quantitative aspect through its physical prospect but also needs to encompass the social and economic aspects of the family. Additionally, a house can extend its function as a place of business and production. Gamelan artisans in the village of Wirun, Mojolaban, Sukoharjo Regency, carry out production activities alongside family development activities. The spatial layout of the gamelan artisans’ homes varies according to their residential and business activities. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, beginning with field observations of gamelan home industries to obtain detailed descriptions of their spatial layout, information on space utilization, and activities occurring within. This information was gathered through interviews with local residents. The study reveals the impact of industrial activities on the spatial arrangement patterns in the homes of gamelan artisans in Wirun.
Phase Dynamics in 3D Superconductors: Analysis Using the Sine-Gordon

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the phase dynamics of superconducting states in 3D superconductors using the sine-Gordon equation, with a focus on the interplay between the London penetration depth (LPD) and coherence length ( ). The research employs a combination of analytical modeling and simulation techniques to explore how variations in LPD influence phase behavior across different coherence lengths in the developed model. At a critical coherence length of  = 2 Å, the LPD decreases from 150 nm to 120 nm as the nanoparticle spacing increases from 5 nm to 10 nm, attributed to reduced interactions between superconducting states. Conversely, at  = 1 Å, quantum confinement effects lead to non-linear LPD behavior, with an initial decrease from 180 nm to 160 nm followed by an increase to 200 nm as nanoparticle spacing changes. In 3D superconductors, phase evolution is characterized by distinct waveforms—square, rectangular, and mixed—corresponding to LPD values between 100 nm and 200 nm, with phase shifts ranging from 1° to 20°. Smaller phase shifts (1°) produce higher-frequency oscillations with amplitudes up to 0.2, while larger shifts (20°) generate broader, less intense waveforms. These findings underscore the critical role of LPD in determining superconducting properties, offering valuable insights for the design and optimization of superconducting devices to enhance performance and efficiency.

Published: December 2024

Exponential scaling presents a significant challenge in electronic structure calculations performed on classical computers. This paper explores how quantum computer algorithms can accurately represent quantum systems. Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm is used to compute the ground state energy of hydrogen and helium sequences by implementing variational principle and quantum gates as trial wavefunction. This technique combines classical optimization with quantum computing calculations to simulate quantum systems on noisy and resource-limited computers. The resulting calculated energy is highly consistent to the corresponding exact values and Hartree-Fock calculations with a trend of when the number of atoms increases the calculated energy becomes more negative, leading to a decrease in the percentage error. Moreover, the convergence of the ground state energy of hydrogen and helium atoms was effectively optimized. The desired energy was reached, proven by adjusting the expectation value, and gradually achieving unity in state overlap. These findings demonstrate the VQE method's accuracy in calculating simple quantum systems and its scalability for larger atomic and molecular system, such as those in quantum chemistry and material science. However, challenges in quantum computer simulations, such as limited in qubit numbers and the presence of noise, require further advancements. Therefore, implementing a larger basis sets, advanced qubit mapping, specific chemistry ansatz, and flexible optimization techniques is one way to improve overall calculation.
