Published: May 2021

Rape is considered as a heartrending moment in a woman’s or girl’s life, it is reality but remain hidden to appropriate authority due to certain distress associated with stigma against the survivor, fear of victimization, cultural barrier, religious sentiments, shame influential, and lack of cognizance on human right. Rape is simply when sexual intercourse occur without ones consent (not willing) or force a person to have sexual intercourse against his/her will, it happen when someone is intoxicated from alcohol or drugs and sometimes for ritual purpose. It can be through vagina, anus or mouth. In northern Nigeria, rape is defined under section 282 of the panel code as. (a) Any act of rape against her will, (b) obtained by putting her fear, threats or death, (iii) with her consent when the man knows that he is not her husband and that her concern is given because she believes that he is the man who to whom she is or believe herself to be lawfully married to, (iv) with or without her consent when she is under fourteen years of age. The main objective of this paper is to examine the following. Why do men rape? How does rape harm victims psychologically? , What should I do if I have been raped? How can I protect myself from rape? What is the best way to prevent STD. Rape as felony, is among the most serious crime a person can commit, men as well as women and children can be raped. This paper will seek an answer to the above questions and provide some recommendations which will be of great importance to social agencies, survivors, parents and security agencies.

Published: May 2021

Menstrual irregularities of the oligomenorrhea type may depend on the presence or absence of hormonal or metabolic disorders. Antiovarian antibodies to the ovaries (AOA) can be one of the causes of hormonal disorders and related menstrual disorders. The aim of the study was to assess the functional state of the ovaries in women with oligomenorrhea and to compare the presence of antiovarian antibodies (AOA) with a group of healthy fertile women. Material and Methods: 105 patients of reproductive age with oligomenorrhea were examined. Control - 50 women of childbearing age with an undisturbed rhythm of menstruation. Body mass index was calculated, ultrasound was performed, LH, FSH, estradiol, total testosterone by immunochemiluminescent method, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) by ELISA, AOA by ELISA method were determined. Statistica software (Stat Soft, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Results: The average age of patients with oligomenorrhea and the control group was 31.39 ± 6.05 and 30.52 ± 5.92 years. Body mass index averaged 25.59 ± 2.74 and 24.12 ± 2.77 kg / m2 , respectively, in the main and control groups. The volume of the ovaries in the main group was 13.22 ± 3.01, in the control group - 6.0 ± 1.26 (p = 0.028), the width of the stroma in the main group was 16.46 ± 3.25 mm, in the control group - 8.97 ± 1.16 mm (p = 0.031). The average LH level in women with oligomenorrhea was 51.75% higher than the control level (p = 0.048), the LH / FSH ratio was higher by 44.28% (p = 0.007), and the AMH value was higher by 33.86% (p = 0.048). The AOA level in the main group averaged 6.36 ± 1.14 ng / ml, in the control group - 3.06 ± 1.16 ng / ml (p = 0.044). In patients with oligomenorrhea, AOA correlated with all studied hormones by a statistically significant relationship, and a significant relationship was determined with the level of LH, AMH and estradiol. In contrast to the main group, in women with a normal menstrual cycle, AOA was correlated with a significant significant association with FSH, total testosterone, and a weak insignificant association with LH. Conclusion: In women of reproductive age with oligomenorrhea, high levels of LH, AMH, LH / FSH and antiovarian antibodies are determined. Antiovarian antibodies to the ovaries in oligomenorrhea correlate with a direct, noticeable relationship with gonadotropic and steroid hormones. To identify the autoimmune process in patients with oligomenorrhea, it is necessary to determine antiovarian antibodies.

Twin pregnancies have a higher perinatal mortality and morbidity and increased obstetrical complications compared with singleton pregnancies, and assisted reproduction techniques (ART) have increased twin pregnancy rates. This study was performed to compare perinatal and obstetric outcomes of dichorionic twin pregnancy following ART with those from spontaneous pregnancy. This cross-sectional study was performed in the Erbil Maternity Teaching Hospital. Two-hundred dichorionic twin pregnancies were classified into two groups: spontaneous (n = 121) and ART (n = 79) groups. Basic criteria included demographic data, gestational age, mode of delivery, pregnancy complications (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm labor, anemia, blood transfusion, postpartum hemorrhage), neonatal outcomes (weight, first and fifth minute Apgar score, neonatal intensive care unit admission, respiratory distress, and sepsis). The rates of pregnancy induced by hypertension, gestational diabetes, and pre-labor preterm rupture of membrane were significantly higher in the ART group, but postpartum hemorrhage, blood transfusion, anemia, were not significantly different. The majority of women in the ART group delivered by caesarean section. The risks of preterm birth, low neonatal birth weight and congenital malformation, and moderately depressed Apgar scores were higher in the ART group, while no significant differences were detected regarding other outcomes. In our study, the second twin had a worse outcome compared with the first twin in both groups of conception. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were poorer in the ART group. The second twin had a worse outcome compared with the first twin in both groups.

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate and compare the effects of menstrual cycle phases on preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain scores in patients given midazolam for premedication before anesthesia. Methods: Septorhinoplasty, goiter surgery and laparoscopic cholecystectomy 126 female patients, aged 21-45, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score I-II and with regular menstrual cycles, were included. Of the cases; The phase of the menstrual cycle was recorded according to the last menstrual period (SAT) and accordingly the patients were divided into 3 groups as Follicular phase, the Ovulatory phase, and the Luteal phase. Anxiety assessment was performed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI FORM TX-1) test. Anxiety scores were evaluated by performing a preoperative test 3 minutes before and 1 hour after intravenous (IV) administration of 0.02 mg/kg midazolam. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used for postoperative pain assessment. Results: Midazolam was found to decrease STAI FORM TX-1 scores the most during the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle, but there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of VAS scores. Conclusion: It has been observed that premedication with midazolam reduces preoperative anxiety in all phases of the menstrual cycle in women of reproductive age, but is most effective in the ovulatory phase. The effect of premedication with midazolam on postoperative pain does not change according to the phases of the menstrual cycle.

Television is a medium of communication and communication is a means through which culture is spread, shared, maintained, repaired and transformed. Contemporarily, the term culture covers the domains of arts, sciences, beliefs, manner or even attitude of a group of people such as tribe, religious body or society. It can be defined as the sum total of way of life of a people such as festivals, dances, religion, language, norms/traditions etc. This study examined how the Nigeria Television Authority has been or not used in promoting Nigeria cultural values and heritage. The method adopted in the study is survey. The interview technique was used involving a total of 400 respondents drawn from the staff members of the NTA, Enugu zonal station, and the Station’s audience. Findings of the study revealed that television is a powerful medium through which a people can, through programming and content, share and export their cultural values for sustainable development, as well, a medium for eroding culture and tradition. It was further found that the NTA has not been sufficiently utilized to promote the Nigerian culture. The study recommended that mass media workers, particularly television programmes designers should sit up in the area of promoting Nigeria cultural heritage through TV programme content. Secondly, it is recommended that TV producers should endeavour to down play indecent dressing and violence, while emphasizing more of educative, informative, technological and entertainment in their productions.
Boys at their Best Cultural Values and Self-Presentation on Social Networks

Published: May 2021

Especially on social media, people represent their identity with photographs that are meant to communicate something about the person. In this context, unspecialized dating platforms likek Tinder receive special attention, since a very large quantity of photos is conceivable and the goal of success with potential partners suggests the consideration of socio-cultural values. The article explores the question of which values are communicated through photographs on Tinder and whether Tinder promotes or rather prevents the representation of diversity among heterosexual men. It becomes apparent that the photographs categorised by means of content analysis revolve around three areas of tension: nature, body, and casualness, each of which appears to be associated with certain values, including dominance, authenticity, and coolness. Men present themselves very similarly, there are few (sub)cultural markers in the pictures, which suggests that they place more emphasis on corresponding to socio-cultural values than on expressing their identity

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer affecting women. Identifying breast cancer risk factors are crucially to be established. The main objectives of the present study were to identify the predictors of breast cancer risk factors and their relative importance using neural network analysis. The present study depended on neural network analysis of data posted on [1]. The dataset is about predictors of breast cancer. There were 9 covariates included and one dependent variable, output (no disease (1), or disease (2)). The dataset was composed of 116 cases. The category of no disease comprised 79 (68.1%) cases, whereas the disease category included 37 cases (31.9%). Architecture model was built with some characteristics such as training part: gross entropy error was 23.7884, the percent of incorrect predictions was 10.1%. Stopping rule used was 1 consecutive step(s) with no decrease in error. For testing part, gross entropy error was 14,327, the percent of incorrect predictions was 13.5%. The relative importance of breast cancer was in the following order: glucose, resistin, BMI, age, leptin, adiponectin, MCP-1, insulin, and HOMA. Taken together, neural network analysis is an efficient tool to predict breast cancer risk factors.

Central neurocytoma is considered a neoplasm classified as grade II by the WHO, of intraventricular location, although they can be aggressive. Due to the rare incidence, there are no fixed treatment rules or radiation therapy recommendations. Macroscopic total resection is usually curative, however, it is only achieved in 30-50% of cases due to the central location. Adjuvant treatment for optimal neurocytoma management should be considered. Stereotactic radiosurgery is now increasingly recommended as an adjuvant treatment. A case report of a patient treated with postoperative radiosurgery with high local control is presented, and the literature review is also performed.

With the advent of advanced imaging techniques such as positron emission topography/computed topography, use of radiotherapy in the management of various cancers has become more effective and is shown to have better outcomes. PET/CT scanning is useful for evaluating tumour biological heterogeneity of malignant lesions providing comprehensive information regards the tumour’s metabolism, hypoxia, and proliferation. Integration of PET/CT imaging in radiotherapy helps in assessing tumour volume to achieve effective tumour control by adjusting radiation dose. Literature is extensive on PET/CT based radiation planning and here we aim to provide a brief review of PET/CT use in different malignancies.

Plasmacytomas are localized tumors of monoclonal plasma cells, typically affecting the axial skeleton and present as solitary bone lesions known as solitary bone plasmacytomas (SBP). Another type of plasmacytomas are extramedullary plasmacytomas (EP) that are localized plasma cell neoplasms affecting the soft tissues such as skin, brain lymph nodes etc. These tumors are account for 5-10% of all plasma cell disorders and among these tumors a rare entity is a multiple solitary plasmacytoma (MSP). MSPs are rare and account for only 5% of all SBPs. MSP presents with multiple SBPs with or without EPs with no bone marrow involvement as multiple myeloma. Literature is limited on MSP as it is a rare diagnosis. Here, we present a case of a 64-year-old male who presented with shoulder pain after a fall, found to have an SBP of the right shoulder, SBP of left femur and a left hypopharyngeal EP. The tumors were excised and he was treated with 6 cycles of bortezomib and dexamethasone. After chemotherapy and radiation patient showed good response and remained in remission on follow up

Background: To better primary health care and better-trained nurses, knowing the causes of cancer provides a basis for understanding the potential for prevention or early detection of the disease. Our study aimed to assess knowledge and awareness about breast, cervical and oral cancer screening amongst oncology nurses at a tertiary cancer centre. Methodology: An anonymised questionnaire based study was conducted amongst nurses at a tertiary cancer centre. We used NCG e-leaning questionnaire to assess knowledge (which includes breast, oral and cervical knowledge and awareness related questionnaire). Results: A total of 313 participants fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study. Age range of participants was from 21 to 54 years (mean = 29.8; SD = 8.14). Knowledge and awareness about breast cancer were significantly associated gender (p=0.014) and marital status (p=0.00). Although, Knowledge and awareness about cervical cancer were significantly associated with gender (p=0.002) and years of experience (p=0.03). The age (p=0.001), marital status (p=0.002) and years of experience (p=<0.001) was statistically significantly associated with knowledge and awareness about oral cancer. Conclusion: Our data suggest that levels of knowledge and understanding of cervical cancer as well as its preventable nature should be improved. Continuing nurse education may contribute to strengthen cervical cancer screening programs. Nursing staff, if properly aware of this disease, can educate the masses and hence increase health-seeking behaviour in women.
Venous Thrombosis of the Mammary Vein Following Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter for Total Parenteral Nutrition Relying on Ecg Tip Confirmation Technology
Authors:   Internal Medicine, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine, North Chicago, IL, R Kuchkuntla Aravind
Published: May 2021

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a life-saving therapy for patients who are not able to utilize the gastrointestinal tract. There are several different types of central venous catheters (CVC) used to deliver TPN. To safely deliver hyperosmotic TPN solutions, CVC tip position should be in the in lower superior vena cava (SVC) or at the junction of SVC and right atrium (RA). New techniques such as intravascular electrocardiogram (ECG) are being used for tip confirmation to help facilitate expedient use of PICC lines replacing the need for chest x-ray (CXR) confirmation. We present a case of a TPN patient who had a PICC line placed, and ECG confirmed tip as being in the SVC. The patient developed chest pain with flushing of the PICC prompting surgical service to obtain a CXR. The CXR suggested the line was in the either in mammary vein or aorta and recommended replacement. Interventional radiology flushed a small amount of contrast through the PICC and fluoroscopy confirmed the PICC tip was in the left internal mammary vein with reflux of contrast in the left innominate vein. The left innominate vein was occluded due to thrombosis and vasospasm. The patient required increased level of care (PCU) for 2 days, but was eventually discharged with home total parenteral nutrition and has done well. We conclude that care should be taken when using ECG confirmation for PICC tip placement and we feel that patients requiring hyperosmotic TPN should still require CXR confirmation to ensure tip appropriate tip location.

There is accumulating evidence that cancer incidence is increasing in younger adults. An earlier report indicating a higher incidence of breast and colorectal cancer in the younger population in the UAE. Open access data from the UAE National Cancer Registry (UAE-NCR) from the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) for 2017 were extracted. Estimated data from the International. Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) for Saudi Arabia, Canada, United Kingdom, China, and India for the year 2020 were also extracted and analyzed. When analyzing the 2017 UAE published data with restriction to the age group between 20-49 years of age for both UAE citizens and Non-UAE citizens, The data indicates that, the percentage of cancer incidence in this age group was 45.4% from total number of new malignant cancer cases in 2017, compared with 42.4% in 2015 and 42.7% in 2016. In females the percentage of cancer incidence in this age group was 51.3% from total number of new malignant cancer cases among females in 2017, and 38.3% among males in the same year, compared with 2016 data (49.5% among females and 34.9% among males) and 2015 data (49.9% among females and 34.1% among males), data indicates that, there is a clear trend for an increase in the incidence annual percent change in this age group by 3% (from 42.4% in 2015 to 45.4% in 2017). This increased persisted regardless of sex (males increased incidence by 4.2% from 34.1 % in 2015 to 38.3% in 2017 while in females increased incidence by 1.4% from 49.9% to 51.3%), which more females were diagnosed with cancer at the age of 20-49 than males between 2015 and 2017.
A Randomized Study of High-Dose Pineal Hormone Melatonin Alone Versus High-Dose Melatonin Plus Low-Dose Angiotensin-(1-7) in Untreatable Advanced Cancer Patients
Authors:   Institute of Biological Medicine, Milan, Italy, Lissoni Paolo
Published: May 2021

The recent advances in the knowledge of the neuroendocrine control of the immune system and cancer growth have demonstrated the existence of several anticancer natural molecules in the human body, the most promising of them are the pineal hormone melatonin (MLT) and the enzymatic product of ACE2, the angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7). Both MLT and Ang 1-7 have no toxicity, and they exert their antitumor action through several mechanisms, including inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and stimulation of the anticancer immunity. Previous preliminary clinical studies had already shown that high-dose MLT may induce a disease control in advanced cancer patients eligible for the only palliative therapy. The present study was performed to evaluate whether the concomitant administration of Ang 1-7 may furtherly increase the antitumor efficacy of MLT in untreatable cancer patients suffering from various tumour histotypes. The study included 70 consecutive advanced untreatable cancer patients, who were randomized to receive the only best supportive care, high-dose MLT (100 mg/day in the dark period), or MLT plus Ang 1-7 (0.5 mg twice/day). The percentage of disease control (DC), including stable disease and tumor regressions, achieved in patients treated by MLT plus Ang 1-7 was significantly higher with respect to those obtained in patients treated with MLT alone (P<0.05) or with the only supportive care (P<0.001). No toxicity was seen under therapy of MLT plus Ang 1-7. In contrast, most patients experienced mood improvement, a diminished anxiety, and a relief of asthenia, which was more evident in patients concomitantly treated by MLT and Ang 1-7.
Strong Beliefs and Soft Evidence Underlying Mammography Surveillance Recommendations in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Study in Reflexive Science and Decision-Making
Authors:   Department of Oncology – Burjeel Cancer Institute – Burjeel Medical City, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, O. Al-Shamsi Humaid
Published: May 2021

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and more recently it has overtaken lung cancer as the world’s mostly commonly-diagnosed cancer, according to statistics released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in December 2020 Mammograph screening has been widely used as screening modality and been shown in reduce mortality. Although, benefit of screening mammography in healthy woman cannot be denied, extrapolating this evidence from screening experience in healthy individuals may be unrepresentative and erroneous. Continued mammographic surveillance of breast cancer survivors (BCSS) as of now continued to be standard of care even though still an unsettled issue in survivorship care due to the absence of high-level evidence supporting this current practice. Besides the fact that data regarding efficacy of mammography in BCSS is unclear, there are other concerns regarding its use. Considering, mammography is associated with false positive results requiring additional evaluations, overdiagnosis leading to needless treatment, psychological distress, physical discomfort and significant health-care expenditure, understanding the risk-benefit ratio of mammography in BCSS is crucial. Appropriate studies evaluating mammographic surveillance in BCSS are necessary to assess survival outcomes, costbenefit ratios and to identify subgroups that derive significant benefit. This holds the key to avoiding unwanted harm to our patients as well as unnecessary financial burden on health-care services.

Nesse artigo analisa-se os sentidos de reconhecimento que atravessam o processo transexualizador. Foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa, entrevistas gravadas em áudio com nove mulheres transexuais que realizaram cirurgia de redesignação sexual. Aponta-se que os manuais de diagnósticos apresentam o reconhecimento de si como descolado do reconhecimento dos outros, apresentando a transexualidade como condição patológica e problema individual. A partir das discussões de Judith Butler, problematizamos essa noção de reconhecimento, refletindo que a busca pelos serviços transexualizadores está diretamente ligada à produção de um reconhecimento pelos outros como vidas vivíveis, dignas de proteção em contraposição a discriminação.

O artigo aborda experiências na adoção de medidas de proteção social frente à pandemia de COVID19 na América Latina, com foco na Argentina, México e Brasil. O argumento central é que a pandemia requer medidas de proteção social, mas esbarra nas limitações dos sistemas implantados nos países. Assim, a crise sanitária, agrava as já profundas desigualdades sociais. Buscou-se identificar pontos convergentes, singularidades e desafios para seus sistemas de proteção social e conclui-se que as respostas produzidas, voltadas para segurança de renda, por meio de auxílios de emergência para indivíduos/famílias ou socorro a setores produtivos, se mostram insuficientes. É primordial articulá-las com medidas abrangentes de proteção social que fortaleçam o Estado para garantir direitos universais de cidadania, como saúde, trabalho protegido e renda básica de cidadania.
Políticas educacionais em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Galzerano Luciana Sardenha
Published: May 2021

As disputas envolvendo as políticas sociais durante a pandemia de Covid-19 foram intensas. No âmbito educacional, as medidas de distanciamento social resultaram no fechamento das escolas e na consequente necessidade de adoção de políticas emergenciais para enfrentar os desafios educacionais impostos. Este artigo busca contribuir para a análise dessas políticas, indicando como consequência o risco de avanço da privatização da educação. Consideramos que o Estado desempenha papel central nesse processo, portanto a privatização deve ser entendida em sua complexidade, não como mero deslocamento de fronteiras entre público/estatal e privado/não-estatal. Para a análise, coletamos informações a partir dos pareces emitidos pelo Conselho Nacional de Educação e dos documentos divulgados por organismos do setor privado – nacional e internacional – que influenciaram os debates e decisões.
Cobiça capitalista, pandemia e o futuro da política social
Authors: Pereira Camila Potyara , Pereira-Pereira Potyara A.
Published: May 2021

Este texto analisa as implicações nefastas da pandemia da COVID-19 para a política social como direito de cidadania. Demarca, para tanto, o atual sistema do capital global, com sua crise estrutural interminável, como o elemento fundante dessas implicações. Incorpora temas e enfoques emergentes ou pouco visitados, como mudança climática, para ampliar o escopo analítico convencional e adensá-lo com novos aportes factuais e teóricos. Nesse contexto de dupla crise letal contra a humanidade a política social pautada pelo compromisso com a satisfação das necessidades humanas sofre violenta reversão: reduz-se a satisfazer as necessidades de lucro do capital tornando-se avessa à sociabilidade democrática.

EDEBİ ETKİLEŞİM VE KARŞILAŞTIRMALI EDEBİYATIN ULUSLARARASI UZLAŞMADAKİ ROLÜ
Authors: GOLKARIAN Ghadir
Published: May 2021

Edebiyat, bilgi edinme, bilgi ve beceri öğrenme ve kişinin kendisi, başkaları ve varoluş fenomeni hakkında farkındalık kazanmak için değerli bir kaynaktır. Eğitim biçimi, ulusların birçok edebi tarihinde en eleştirel ve ilkel edebi türdür. Klasik Osmanlı edebiyatında derin kökleri olan Fars veya Arap edebiyatı başta olmak üzere farklı ülkeler arasındaki edebiyat ilişkisini incelemek, karşılaştırmalı edebiyat dallarını anlamanın farklı yönlerinden biri olarak kabul edilebilir. Türk edebiyatı ile Fars ve Arap edebiyatı arasında uzun süredir devam eden etkileşimin dünyadaki diğer edebiyat türlerinden daha önemli olduğunu söylemek abartlı olmaz. Çünkü İslam kültürü, şeriat, fıkıh ve ideoloji, MS 8. yüzyıldan 14. yüzyıla kadar Türk edebiyatını etkilediği gibi Ahmed Yasavi'nin ruhani liderliği ve tasavvuf edebiyatının gelişimi altında, Orta Asya'da yaşayan Türkler İslam'ın kurallarını, ilkelerini ve içtihatlarını edinerek Farsça ve Arap edebiyatını öğrenmeye ihtiyaç duydular. Farsça ve Arapça kökenli edebiyatın aynı eğilim ve kullanımı, Türkçe kelime hazinesini olumlu yönden etkilediği ve zenginleştirdiği gibi Türkçeyi pratik hale getirmesini de sağlamıştır. Bu makale, edebiyatın geçmişteki işlevlerini ve çağdaş dönem edebiyatının tarihsel çözümlemesini göstermeyi, eğitim literatürünü işlevsel bir bakış açısıyla incelemeyi ve edebi eğitimin özelliklerini edebiyat yoluyla sıralayarak günümüzde bu tür edebiyatın genişlediğini göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. İçerik, yapı ve türlerle ilgili terimlerden ziyade kültür ve sanat olgusu olarak edebiyatın edebi eserlerin toplanmasındaki yerini belirlemektedir. Ayrıca, makalenin kritik sorularını analitik çalışma kapsamında cevaplamaya çalışmaktadır. Edebiyatın birey ve toplum üzerindeki etkisi ve eğitim literatürünün etkileri nelerdir ve toplumların ihtiyaçları ne olabilir? Bu çalışma, literatürün farklı işlevleri olduğunu göstermektedir. Bugün, çocuk edebiyatı, popüler edebiyat, çevrimiçi edebiyat ve romanlar, kısa öyküler, minimalist hikayeler, tiyatro senaryoları, oyunlar, bloglar ve hatta şarkılar gibi edebi türler dahil olmak üzere diğer türlerde eğitimsel ve işlevsel edebiyat etkileri görülebilir. Bu dönemdeki farklılık ile ahlaki, politik, sosyal, hukuki vb. kavramlar özellikle hikâyede izleyiciye örtük olarak aşılanmakta ve ima edilmektedir. Kavram öğretimi dolaylı olarak durumları ve karakterleri gösterir. Konu itibariyle, edebiyatın eğitimsel ve işlevselliğini anlatırken karşılaştırmalı edebiyatın niteliği ve etkisi de bu makalede tanımlayıcı-analitik bir yöntemle dikkate alınmıştır
MUSTAFA KUTLU’NUN “SIR” HİKÂYESİNDEKİ BİRLEŞİK YAPILI FİİLLER
Authors: TÜRK Osman
Published: May 2021

İş, kılış, oluş gibi eylemlerin karşılığı olan fiiller, söz diziminin esas unsuru ve cümledeki anlamın yüklenicisidir. Temel söz varlığının hareket işlevli parçaları olan fiiller genel başlığı altında bulunan birleşik fiiller, tek kelime ile karşılanamayan eylemleri anlatma ihtiyacına cevap verir. İşlevsel olarak dilin eylem nitelikli söz varlığını işler kılan, isim ya da isim soylu kelimeleri de yüklemleştiren birleştirmelerdir. Birleşik fiiller, isimle ve fiille yapılan birleşik fiiller olmak üzere iki ana başlık altında toplanabilir. Bu çalışmada Mustafa Kutlu’nun “Sır” adlı hikâyesindeki birleşik fiiller incelenmiştir.
