A New Tool for Detecting COVID-19 Psychological Burden Among Postacute and Long-term Care Residents (Mood-5 Scale): Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mansbach William E , Mace Ryan A , Tanner Melissa A
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

Older adults are at high risk for developing serious somatic and psychological symptoms associated with COVID-19. Currently available instruments may not be sensitive to the concerns about COVID-19 in postacute and long-term care and their applications in telehealth remain to be clarified.

OBJECTIVE

We investigated the psychometric properties of the Mood-5 Scale (M5) as a rapid self-assessment of the COVID-19 psychological burden among postacute and long-term care residents.

METHODS

Residents (N=131), aged 50 years and above, from 20 postacute and long-term care facilities in Maryland, USA, were evaluated in-person or via telehealth (43/131, 32.8%) across a 4-week period (May 11 to June 5, 2020) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 psychological burden experienced by the residents was rated by geriatric psychologists who independently reviewed their clinical documentation. Psychometric analyses were performed on the M5 in relation to psychological tests, COVID-19 psychological burden, and diagnostic data collected during the evaluation.

RESULTS

The M5 demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach α=.77). M5 scores were not confounded by demographic variables or telehealth administration (P>.08). Convergent validity for the M5 was established via positive associations with anxiety (r=0.56, P<.001) and depressive (r=0.49, P<.001) symptoms. An M5 cutoff score of 3 demonstrated strong sensitivity (0.92) and adequate specificity (0.75) for identifying COVID-19 psychological distress among postacute and long-term care residents (area under the curve of 0.89, positive predictive value=0.79, negative predictive value=0.91).

CONCLUSIONS

The M5 is a reliable and valid tool for self-assessment of mood that can help identify postacute and long-term care residents with significant psychological burden associated with COVID-19. It can be completed in less than 1 minute and is appropriate for use in both in-person and virtual visits.
At the intersection of material finds and identity
Authors: Boertien Jeannette
Published: December 2020

Tell Abu Sarbut is situated in the Jordan Valley about 80 km north of Amman, the excavation seasons 2012-2015 revealed a small Early Roman hamlet and unexpected and surprising stone vessels were found.The vessels were hand cut or lathe turned, produced around Jerusalem and in Galilee in Capernaum, Sepphoris, Nabratein and also in Gamla in the Golan. Soft chalkstone vessels excavated from Levantine sites dated between 100 BC and 200 AD, are always found together with specific oil lamps, pottery, and sometimes with stepped pools.Such stone vessels are well known from Qumran and Jerusalem, they are considered markers of Jewish identity. There is an on-going discussion on the subject. According to Berlin material possessions encode and reflect religious identity. (A.Berlin, 2005. Jewish Life Before the Revolt. Journal for the Study of Judaism 36, 4:417- 470). Near contemporaneous texts tell that stone vessels were considered impervious to ritual impurity. Different authors state that the phenomenon is a uniquely Jewish one, because these utensils are conspicuously absent from non-Jewish sites.Most of the finds are from Israel only a few were reported from Jordan.The limestone vessels form Tell Abu Sarbut rise the question if these artefacts can reveal the identity of the people once living in that tiny hamlet in the eastern Jordan Valley.An important questions in my research on the material from Tell Abu Sarbut is: What are the conditions to link religious identity to archaeological structures and artefacts? The central question in this might be: Is it legitimate to link artefacts to ethnic groups? I would appreciate ideas and suggestions on both questions.An important questions in my research on the material from Tell Abu Sarbut is: What are the conditions to link religious identity to archaeological structures and artifacts?

Mesopotamian medical information in the divination series Šumma ālu
Authors: Minen Francesca
Published: December 2020

The proposed communication aims at presenting the preliminary results of my pilot research project “Mesopotamian medical notions in the divination series Šumma ālu”. Thanks to the endowment of a Henri Frankfort Short-Term Fellowship, I have conducted this study at the Warburg Institute, School of Advanced Study, University of London (January-April 2019). The aim of this research was to conduct a first survey of all medical-related information comprised in the terrestrial omens of the series Šumma ālu. Medical sources provide useful information to the reconstruction of Babylonian scientific and intellectual history; however, if considered alone, they do not allow us to understand various aspects of medical rationale. For this reason, scholars have been interested also in sources outside the medical corpus. I decided to follow their footsteps by focusing on Šumma ālu, which has been labelled as an encyclopaedia for every aspect of ancient Mesopotamian everyday life. This line of enquiry has never been attempted before, as the medical corpus has been compared usually with magic, not divination. Moreover, the difficulties embodied by the processes of the textual edition of the divination series have slowed its accessibility. However, the edition of the first half of Šumma ālu has been completed recently, and two ongoing projects (Geneva, Vienna) are aimed at completing this task. The communication will present the general context of this pilot project, its preliminary results and its possible future developments.
Уровень витамина D и показатели углеводного обмена у женщин с синдромом поликистозных яичников
Authors: Arkhypkina T.L. , Bondarenko V.A. , Goncharova O.A. , Lyubimovа L.P.
Published: December 2020

Актуальность. Синдром поликистозных яичников (СПКЯ) остается актуальной проблемой гинекологической эндокринологии, а его частота составляет примерно 11–17 % среди женщин репродуктивного возраста и достигает 75 % в структуре эндокринного бесплодия. Существуют доказательства, что витамин D влияет на обмен углеводов, а его недостаточность или дефицит повышают риск развития нарушения толерантности к глюкозе, инсулинорезистентности и сахарного диабета 2-го типа. Цель: определить связь между уровнем витамина D и показателями углеводного обмена у женщин с синдромом поликистозных яичников. Материалы и методы. Обследовано 60 женщин в возрасте от 19 до 26 лет: 30 женщин с диагнозом классического фенотипа СПКЯ; 30 здоровых женщин с нормальной менструальной и репродуктивной функцией. Исследовали содержание витамина D, секcстероид­связывающего глобулина (СССГ), иммунореактивного инсулина (ИРИ), индекс НОМА-IR, индекс массы тела (ИМТ), окружность талии/окружность бедер (ОТ/ОБ). В зависимости от концентрации витамина D обследованные были разделены на подгруппы: первая — 22 больные СПКЯ с витамином D ≤ 30 нг/мл (средний уровень — 12,9 ± 0,2 нг/мл); вторая — 8 больных с уровнем витамина D ≥ 30 нг/мл (31,4 ± 0,3 нг/мл); третья — 12 здоровых женщин с витамином D ≤ 30 нг/мл (24,2 ± 0,3 нг/мл); четвертая — 18 здоровых обследованных с уровнем витамина D ≥ 30 нг/мл (35,6 ± 0,3 нг/мл). Результаты. Установлено, что в общей группе пациенток с СПКЯ средний уровень витамина D (21,4 ± 0,4 нг/мл) был достоверно ниже (Р < 0,001) по сравнению с показателем группы здоровых женщин (29,6 ± 0,3 нг/мл). У больных с СПКЯ низкие концентрации витамина D сопровождались более высокими уровнями глюкозы (Р < 0,001), ИРИ (Р < 0,001), индекса НОМА-IR (Р < 0,001) и снижением СССГ (Р < 0,001). Установлена негативная ассоциативная связь витамина D с ИМТ (r = –0,399; Р < 0,05), ОТ/ОБ (r = –0,612; Р < 0,001), концентрацией ИРИ (r = –0,502; р < 0,001), показателем индекса НОМА-IR (r = –0,571; Р < 0,001), уровнем СССГ (r = –0,694; Р < 0,001). Выводы. Показана роль абдоминального ожирения в формировании дефицита витамина D, который усиливает нарушения углеводного обмена, а именно увеличивает гиперинсулинемию, инсулинорезистентность и снижает продукцию сексстероидсвязывающего глобулина у женщин с СПКЯ.
Использование препарата Оксилик в комплексном лечении больных с аутоиммунным тиреоидитом
Authors: Pashkovska N.V. , Abramova N.O.
Published: December 2020

Актуальность. Хронический аутоиммунный тиреоидит (АИТ) — наиболее распространенное аутоиммунное заболевание и основная причина гипотиреоза. Патогенез АИТ связан со снижением активности селенэнзимов, которые защищают щитовидную железу от оксидативного стресса и, соответственно, роста аутоиммунных процессов, что связано с дефицитом селена в эндемичных зонах, к которым относится большинство регионов Украины. Цель исследования: изучить эффективность назначения препарата Оксилик в комплексном лечении аутоимунного тиреоидита. Материалы и методы. Обследовано и пролечено 56 пациентов в возрасте от 26 до 54 лет с гипотиреозом на фоне АИТ. Для оценки эффективности лечения пациенты были методом рандомизации разделены на две группы. Представители первой группы (26 человек) получали базисное лечение в виде заместительной терапии препаратами левотироксина в адекватных дозах. Пациентам второй группы (30 человек) на фоне базисной терапии левотироксином назначалось комплексное средство Оксилик по одной капсуле в течение трех месяцев. Результаты. Установлено положительное влияние приема препарата Оксилик на показатели тиреоидного гомеостаза, что проявлялось достоверным ростом уровня свободного трийодтиронина на 150 % (р < 0,05) и соотношения свободного трийодтиронина/свободного тироксина в 3,89 раза (р < 0,05) без достоверной межгрупповой разницы. У пациентов основной группы установлено снижение титров антител к тиреоидной пероксидазе (ТПО) на 29,2 % (р < 0,05), тогда как в группе сравнения не произошло статистически значимого изменения данного показателя. В целом снижение уровня антител к ТПО на 25 % и более достигнуто у 85,2 % больных. У больных АИТ установлены негативные корреляционные связи между уровнем селена в сыворотке венозной крови и титром антител к ТПО (r = –0,368, р < 0,05). Выводы. Препарат Оксилик можно рекомендовать как средство лечения больных с аутоиммунным тиреоидитом.
Маркеры агрессивности течения неактивных аденом гипофиза с инвазивным ростом. Обзор литературы
Authors: Urmanova Yu.M. , Mirtukhtaeva M.B.
Published: December 2020

Гормонально неактивные аденомы гипофиза представляют собой морфологически гетерогенную группу и подразделяются на «немые» аденомы, которые обладают иммунореактивностью к тропным гормонам и похожи по строению на типичные аденоциты, но не приводят к развитию клинических признаков гормональной гиперсекреции, и опухоли, не имеющие специфических маркеров и сходства с аденогипофизарными клетками (ноль-клеточные опухоли и онкоцитомы). Согласно проводимым исследованиям, все типы «немых» аденом имеют различные биологическую активность, секреторный потенциал и исходы в после­операционном периоде. Активное выявление «немых» аденом гипофиза при проведении иммуногистохимического анализа позволяет не только выявить пациентов из группы высокого риска рецидива заболевания, но и выработать оптимальную тактику лечения и дальнейшего наблюдения, определить показания и оценить целесообразность медикаментозной и лучевой терапии после проведенного нейрохирургического вмешательства. Обзорная статья посвящена вопросам поиска прогностических маркеров инвазивного роста неактивных аденом гипофиза. Высокий уровень Кi-67 может рассматриваться как независимый фактор и маркер неблагоприятного прогноза при аденомах гипофиза. У больных, аденомы которых имеют высокий уровень пролиферативной активности, чаще наблюдается инвазивный рост аденомы, а также ее злокачественное перерождение — развитие аденокарциномы. Этот маркер не зависит от других негативных прогностических признаков — возраста и пола пациента, размера аденомы. Кроме того, повышение уровня пролиферации чаще наблюдается в соматотропиномах и пролактиномах. В последние годы существенно изменилось представление о клеточной и молекулярной биологии опухолей гипофиза. Известно, что транскрипционные факторы регулируют трансформацию клеток-предшественников питуицитов в зрелые секреторные клетки во время эмбриогенеза. Поэтому продолжается поиск прогностических критериев для аденом.
Are Teachers Biased against Black Children? A Study of Race, Amygdala Volume, and Problem Behaviors
Authors: Assari Shervin
Published: December 2020

Introduction: While the amygdala has a core role in behaviors, less is known about racial variation in the association between amygdala volume and teachers’ behavioral rating of children. According to the Minorities’ Diminished Returns (MDRs) phenomenon, the effects of individual-level risk and protective factors tend to be weaker for Black than White children due to structural factors such as social stratification and racism. Purpose: Built on the MDRs framework and conceptualizing race as a social rather than a biological factor, this study explored racial variation in the magnitude of the effects of amygdala volume on teachers’ behavioral ratings of children. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, we used baseline socioeconomic data and structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data of 4305 American children ages 9-10 who had participated in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. The primary outcome was the teachers’ behavioral rating of the child. The independent variable was amygdala volume. Age, sex, parental education, parental marital status, and ethnicity were the covariates. Race was the moderator. We used mixed-effect models for data analysis to adjust for the participants’ nested nature within families and study sites. Results: Teachers rated children with larger amygdala volumes as having lower behavioral problems. The concordance between size of amygdala volume and teachers’ behavioral rating of the child was modified by race. For while children, teachers reported the children to have lower behavioral problems when they had a large amygdala. For Black children, teachers reported high behavioral problems across all amygdala sizes. Conclusions: The results can be explained in two ways. The first explanation is minorities’ diminished returns hypothesis (MDRs). In line with MDRs, due to structural inequalities and school segregation, a large amygdala would result in a more favorable behavioral rating of the White children than Black children, as we expect an unequal effect of equal resources across racial groups in the presence of racism. The second explanation is systemic bias of teachers against Black children: meaning that due to their anti-Black bias, teachers report high behavioral problems in Black children, across all amygdala sizes (behavioral profiles). That means, race may trigger some cues and biases in the teachers, so they do not pay attention to the details of the behavioral profile of the Black child. For White children, however, in the absence of such racial bias, teachers behavioral rating of a child reflects the child’s amygdala size.

Probablemente, nadie se imaginó sobre la verdadera magnitud de la pandemia.  En diciembre de 2019, se escucharon noticias sobre el brote de un virus proveniente de China. Como en otras ocasiones, muchas personas pensamos que podía ser algo exagerado y que probablemente no tardaría en erradicarse, por lo tanto, simplemente no le prestamos la atención debida. En el mes de marzo de 2020, comenzó en México la Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia y con ella, se suspendieron temporalmente algunas actividades, entre ellas, la asistencia presencial a los centros educativos.

Meses después, la pandemia por el coronavirus continúa y a pesar que las medidas restrictivas han disminuido, los estudiantes no han podido regresar presencialmente a sus salones de clase. El presente trabajo, pretende mostrar la experiencia vivida por un profesor y sus estudiantes, donde exponen algunas de las dificultades que se presentaron y también, lo positivo que reflexionaron sobre esta pandemia.

Published: December 2020

The paper deals with the formation of contextual grammars in the methods of complex scene recognition. It proposes the use of multi-level grammar, which includes the task of syntactic analysis of image sequences and the task of syntactic analysis of a scene taking into account the multi-level movement of objects. It is shown that the formation of grammar, describing both the structural information of the image and the interaction of images, is associated with the need to develop an algorithm to output grammar on a given set of dynamic images, which represent a learning sample. As a result of training, structural descriptions of images and descriptions of their relations are formed and later used for syntactic analysis of complex structure events. It is postulated that for dynamic scenes with multi-level movement and complex structure, which is constantly changing in time, it is reasonable to apply context grammar rules, and in this connection arises the concept of multi-level context grammar. Some basic principles of the theory of formal grammars inherent in structural methods of recognition are described.

The Impact of Population, Labor, Unemployment, and Poverty on Economic Growth Regencies/Municipality in Sulawesi Tengah Province
Authors: Mubarak Muhammad Syahrul , SBM Nugroho
Published: December 2020

High population growth could be a serious barrier to regional economic development. In general, if productivity in each sector of the economy is very low, there will be a high unemployment level in that society. The purpose of this study is to analyze the partial and simultaneous influences of population, labor, unemployment, and poverty on economic growth. The type of data used is panel statistic data from 11 regencies and municipality in Sulawesi Tengah province of Indonesia during the 2011-2019 period with 99 observations. The regression model with fixed effect approach was used to analyze the data panel. The results reveal that labor and unemployment do not significantly affect economic growth, whereas population and poverty significantly affect economic growth in positive and negative ways, respectively. The partial results of the test imply that the increase in population must be coherently supported by the specialization of the workforce through an increase in the length of school each individual. These implications can be realized through the construction of educational infrastructure. Poverty reduction can be implemented through the improvement of the education level of the people. It is expected that good education will generate more new experts to increase industrial productivity, which in turn will increase the output

MEMÓRIAS DE ATENAH: TRAJETÓRIAS DE MULHERES BRASILEIRAS NA CORRIDA DE AVENTURA
Authors: Silva Fabiana Duarte e , Mourão Ludmila , Schwartz Gisele Maria , Chaves Bruna Silveira
Published: December 2020

Este artigo investigou a trajetória de vida esportiva das atletas da equipe de corrida de aventura (CA) Atenah, formada exclusivamente por mulheres. A CA é uma competição multiesportiva, formada por equipes mistas, com ao menos uma pessoa de gênero distinto dos demais membros. A pesquisa qualitativa de caráter descritivo consistiu em entrevista semiestruturada com cinco atletas da equipe Atenah. Observou-se que as atletas utilizam estratégias de “subversão” e “conservação”, segundo Bourdieu, e constituem “agências”, segundo a teoria de Dworkin e Messner. O fato de organizarem uma equipe exclusivamente feminina pode ser entendido como “estratégia de subversão” ou a constituição de “agência resistente”. Paradoxalmente, utilizaram “estratégias de conservação” para se manterem no esporte, configurando, assim, “agência reprodutiva”. Conclui-se que o apoio e incentivo da família foi fundamental para o sucesso das atletas, porém, o engajamento das mulheres na corrida de aventura pode ser ameaçado pelas instituições do casamento e da maternidade.

Este estudo objetivou analisar a percepção sobre os antecedentes afetivos para a atividade física (AF) relacionados às necessidades psicológicas básicas (NPB) e investigar as regulações motivacionais para prática de AF no discurso dos participantes iniciantes de um programa de exercício físico na atenção básica de saúde. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de natureza qualitativa com a utilização de Grupo Focal. Participaram da pesquisa 41 adultos. Resultados demonstram que as percepções dos participantes sugerem frustração para as NPB de autonomia e competência. O comportamento dos participantes para a iniciação ao programa é regulado por diferentes contingentes externos específicos, caracterizadas por punições e medos na adesão ao programa. Não foram observadas regulações motivacionais intrínsecas e a autodeterminação para a participação no programa é baixa. Conclui-se que essa população, não percebe sentimentos ligados ao prazer pela prática de AF per se, diminuindo as chances de manutenção do comportamento para a prática de AF.

Este trabalho se propõe a discutir uma perspectiva ética no fazer da pesquisa que de maneira processual delimita problemas e métodos, desviando-se, portanto, dos contornos estabelecidos aprioristicamente. Entende-se que ao entrar em contato com os sujeitos que habitam o fora da universidade, corre-se o risco necessário de questionar e distender as margens fixadas de antemão. Trata-se de uma certa implicação para com as possibilidades de invenção que o próprio pesquisar suscita, quando aberto às múltiplas vozes que o atravessam. Durante a realização do seu trabalho de conclusão de curso, a pesquisadora escuta os antigos moradores de uma comunidade desenvolvida a partir da chegada da ferrovia e, posteriormente, acometida pela sua abrupta retirada.

Published: December 2020

The present work is intended to bring to the forefront a relatively less
explored area of N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) catalyzed alkyne hydro-
thiolation and selenation reactions. The present work can be regarded as
the first ever computational investigation on the catalytic activity of
the NHC catalyzed hydro- thiolation and selenation reactions by
exploring the reaction mechanism. Reaction mechanism involves
chalcogenol activation followed by alkyne insertion and the second step
is found to be the rate determining step. A comparison with the reported
uncatalyzed gas phase reaction showed that a simple imidazol-2-ylidene
catalyst can lower the free energy barrier by 19.62 and 14.63 kcal/mol
respectively for acetylene hydro- thiolation and selenation reaction.
All the employed NHCs are proved to be better catalyst for both
hydrothiolation and hydroselenation. Effects of factors such as changing
the heterocycle, increasing the conjugation, ring expansion and
electronic/steric substitution were also investigated. Effect of solvent
polarity on the reaction energetics and selectivity has also been
analyzed employing THF, DMSO and MeOH as the solvents.

Authors: Rzayeva Sona
Published: December 2020

Türk dünyasında önemli bir kültürel değere sahip olan ve UNESCO tarafından İnsanlığın Somut Olmayan Kültürel Mirasının Temsili Listesi’nde Azerbaycan dâhil olmak üzere 12 ülkenin ortak mirası olarak tescil edilen Nevruz bayramı, bütün Türk dünyasında olduğu gibi Azerbaycan Türkleri arasında da coşkuyla kutlanan bayramlardan biridir. Kaynağı ilkel dönemlere dayanan, baharın gelişini ve doğanın uyanışını temsil eden bu eski Türk geleneği her türlü baskı ve zorluklara rağmen bugüne kadar Orta Asya ve özellikle Azerbaycan Türkleri tarafından mitolojik yönleri korunarak tüm canlılığı ile yaşatılmaya devam etmektedir. Bu canlılık Nevruz kutlamalarında önemli bir yere sahip olan ve insan yaşamını önemli ölçüde etkilemiş çerşenbe merasimleri ile yaşatılmaktadır. Pek çok kültürde rastlanan, yenilenme ve yaratılış mitlerinin asıl dinamikleri olan ve aynı zamanda eski Türk inanç sisteminde kutsal olarak kabul edilen ateş, su, hava ve toprak gibi unsurlar ise çerşenbe merasimlerinin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada da Nevruz çerşenbelerinin bu dört unsurla ilişkilendirilmesiyle mitolojik kökenleri ele alınmıştır.

Published: December 2020

İnsanlık tarihi kadar eski olan Halk Hekimliği, modern tıp biliminin her geçen gün hızla ilerleyip gelişmesine rağmen bazı hastalıkların teşhisi ve tedavisinde uyguladığı pratik yöntemleri ile günümüzde halen işlevselliğini korumaktadır. Zengin ve köklü geçmişe sahip Kazak Halk Hekimliği Kökeni Şamanizm, Totemizm gibi inanç sistemlerine dayanır. Farklı kaynaklardan beslenerek günümüze kadar gelen halk biliminde bakşı, emşi, evliya, tabib, aşık, balger, molla gibi farklı farklı isimlendirilen halk hekimlerinin kökeni incelenmiştir. Kazak bakşılık ve hekimliğinde, ilham kaynağı Dede Korkut ve onun ezgileri olan başta bakşılar olmak üzere çok sayıda halk hekimi yaşamış ve yaşamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Korkut Atayı kendisine pir ve üstad kabul eden bakşıların bazı bakşılık uygulamalarına yer verilmiştir. Sadece yaşamış oldukları yöre ya da bölgede değil, tüm Kazak coğrafyasında ün salmış olan Bakşıların Bakşılık geleneğinin tarihi ve gelişim süresi, bakşılığa geçiş kaynağı, bakşıların toplumdaki yeri, görevi ve onlarla ilgili ortaya atılan görüşler, bakşıların giydiği özel kıyafetleri ve ritüel sırasında oldukça önemli kutsal sayılan aletleri tanıtılıp değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda Kazak halk hekimliğinin ilk uygulayıcıları olan bakşıların tedavi yöntemlerinin tespiti yapılıp, zaman aşamasına uğrayarak şekil değiştirdiği üzerine durulmuştur. Kültürel kodların belirlenmesi ve uygun şekilde sonraki kuşaklara aktarımı pek çok farklı şekilde gerçekleşetirilebilir. Günümüze kadar gelen kaynakları incelediğimizde zaman-mekan-şahıs üçlüsü merkez alınarak yapılan çalışışmalar olduğunu görmekteyiz. Kazak halk hekimliği yöntemlerinin ve bu işi icra edenlerin külürel geçiş süresinde var olma mücadeleleri ve sonrasında nasıl şekil değiştirdiğini anlamak, betimlemek ve bilim dünyasına tanıtmak amaçlanmıştır.
Türk Halk Anlatılarında Dönüştürücü Bir Güç Olarak Rüzgâr
Authors: Zehra Uğurcan Fatma
Published: December 2020

Hava, insanın yaşamsal kaynağı olması sebebiyle üzerinde çokça düşünülen bir konu olmuştur. Antik Çağ felsefesinden mitolojik algılara ve semavi dinlere kadar birçok alanda hava ve onun harekete geçmiş hali olan rüzgârın belli başlı tasavvurlarla karşılık bulduğu görülür. Bu tasavvurların birçoğunda rüzgâr tanrısal bir alamettir. Türk mitolojisinde ise benzer bir şekilde, rüzgârın tanrı ve ruhların hâkimiyetinde olduğuna dair inanışlarla karşılaşılır. Türkler; Yel Baba, Yel İyesi gibi isimler verdikleri ruhların rüzgârları kontrol eden güçler olduklarına inanmışlardır. Ortaya çıkan bu inançlar sadece toplumsal yaşama değil halk edebiyatına da etki etmiştir. Nitekim mitolojik unsurlar edebiyatı zenginleştiren hazinelerdir. Bu bağlamda mitolojik algıların önemli bir parçası olan rüzgârın da anlatılarda kendisine sıklıkla yer bulduğu söylenebilir. Rüzgâr, anlatılarda kutsal bir dokunuşla kahramanın kaderine olumlu anlamda yön veren ve kahramanı dönüştürebilen bir olgudur. Ancak nadiren rüzgârın anlatı kişilerine olumsuzluklar getirdiği ve hatta rüzgârın şeytani varlıkların temsilcisi olduğuna tanık olunur. Anlatılarda rüzgâr algısının olumluyu ya da olumsuzu sembolize etmesinden bağımsız olarak, onun her zaman doğaüstü varlıklarla ilişkilendirildiği ve anlatıda belirleyici, mistik bir unsur olarak yer aldığı göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Bu çalışmada anlatılarda yer alan rüzgâr olgusunun kökenini aydınlatmak için meselenin felsefe, mitoloji, semavi dinler ve tasavvuf cephesindeki manası üzerinde durulmuş ve yapılan çıkarımları desteklemek için Güney Sibirya coğrafyasından Altay destanı Maaday-Kara, Şor destanı Altın Tayçı, Şor masalları Kayıp Kız ve Şanssız Nekker, Hakas masalı Işık Işıkoğlu Hakan ve Anadolu sahasından Akkız ile Karakız masalı incelenmiştir. İncelemenin amacı, Türk mitolojisinde ve kültür yapısında yer alan rüzgâr tasavvurlarının halk anlatılarına yansımalarının ne ölçüde ve nasıl olduğunun, anlatılarda hangi işlevleri yerine getirdiklerinin tespit edilmesidir.
İlhan Başgöz'ün Biografik Türk Halk Hikâyeleri (Kahramanları, Teşekkülleri, Saz
Authors: Pehlivan Gürol
Published: December 2020

İlhan Başgöz, akademik Türk halk bilimi çalışmalarının ikinci neslindendir. Pertev Naili Boratav’ın danışmanlığında 1949 yılında tamamlanan; fakat Boratav’ın derslerinin süresiz tatil edilmesi sebebiyle savunmasında bulunmadığı bu tez, Türkiye’de halk bilimi alanında tamamlanmış ikinci doktora çalışmasıdır. Gerek ilk tezlerden olması gerekse daha önce çalışılmamış bir konuda olması sebebiyle Türk halk bilimi tarihinde önemli bir yer sahiptir. Ancak bu önemine rağmen basılmamıştır.
Başgöz, tezini dört bölüm hâlinde oluşturmuştur. Toplam olarak elli üç metin üzerinde çalışmış olup bunların yirmi iki tanesi herhangi bir şekilde yayımlanmamıştır. Türkülü hikâyeleri uluslararası bir tür olarak gören Başgöz, dünya folklorunun bazı sorunlarını çözmek için Türk halk hikâyelerinin ipucu verebileceği düşüncesindedir. Böylece onun daha doktora tezinde sadece Türkoloji sorunlarını çözmeyi amaçlayan bir yaklaşımının olmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Çalışmada yaşayan âşıkların hayatında görülen temel süreçlerin, hakkında bilgi olmayan âşıklarda da mevcut olduğu varsayımından hareketle mukayese yöntemiyle eski âşıkların hayatıyla biyografik halk hikâyeleri arasında bağlantılar irdelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Başgöz’ün dinleyici ve ortamın hikâye metinlerinde değişime yol açmasıyla ilgili ilk verileri tezini yaptığı sırada fark ettiği görülmektedir. Yine arasöz (digression) konusu da bu süreçte dikkatini çeken bir konudur.
Bu makalede Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Kütüphanesi’nde muhafaza edilen Başgöz’ün tezi ve içerdiği malzeme günümüz araştırmacılarına tanıtıldıktan sonra, kullandığı hikâye metinleri, yaklaşımı, etik kuralları uygulaması ve etkileri bakımından tahlil edilecektir.

A solution of the word problem for braid groups via the complex reflection group G12
Authors: Cevik Ahmet , Albargi Amer
Published: December 2020

It is known that if there exists a Gr?bner-Shirshov basis for a group G,
then we say that one of the decision problem, namely the word problem, is
solvable for G as well. Therefore, as the main target of this paper, we will
present a (non-commutative) Gr?bner-Shirshov basis for the braid group
associated with the congruence classes of complex reflection group G12 which
will give us normal forms of the elements of G12 and so will obtain a new
algorithm to solve the word problem over it.
Application of multivariate statistic and pollution index techniques to determine beach sand element distribution, East of Antalya City
Authors: Yalcin Fusun
Published: December 2020

This research was conducted on beach sands in East of Antalya city. The
samples collected from 47 locations in the target area were investigated for
the existence of possible heavy metal anomaly. The heavy metal contents of
the samples were evaluated using categorization of Pollution Index,
Enrichment Factor, Potential Ecological Risk, Toxicity Risk Index and
statistical applications. Samples were distinguished in different groups of
close similarities based on the statistical specifications. There was
unequal distribution of elements. Ca, Cr, Fe, Ti and Pb were anomalously
concentrated in some samples. Cr, Pb, and Cu showed contaminated and high
risk level in some samples. The occurrence of high Cr concentration is
thought to be mostly influence by natural activities while Pb and Cu are
thought to be mostly due to anthropogenic influence.
Connectedness criteria for graphs by means of omega invariant
Authors: Sanli Utkum , Celik Feriha , Delen Sadik , Cangul Ismail
Published: December 2020

A realizable degree sequence can be realized in many ways as a graph. There
are several tests for determining realizability of a degree sequence. Up to
now, not much was known about the common properties of these realizations.
Euler characteristic is a well-known characteristic of graphs and their
underlying surfaces. It is used to determine several combinatorial
properties of a surface and of all graphs embedded onto it. Recently, last
two authors defined a number ? which is invariant for all realizations of a
given degree sequence. ? is shown to be related to Euler characteristic and
cyclomatic number. Several properties of ? are obtained and some applications
in extremal graph theory are done by authors. As already shown, the number
gives direct information compared with the Euler characteristic on the
realizability, number of realizations, being acyclic or cyclic, number of
components, chords, loops, pendant edges, faces, bridges etc. In this paper,
another important topological property of graphs which is connectedness is
studied by means of ?. It is shown that all graphs with ?(G)?-4 are
disconnected, and if ?(G)? -2, then the graph could be connected or
disconnected. It is also shown that if the realization is a connected graph
and ?(G)=-2, then certainly the graph should be acyclic. Similarly, it is
shown that if the realization is a connected graph G and ?(G)? 0, then
certainly the graph should be cyclic. Also, the fact that when ?(G)?-4,
the components of the disconnected graph could not all be cyclic, and that
if all the components of a graph G are cyclic, then ?(G) ? 0 are proven.
Extended incomplete version of hypergeometric functions
Authors: Özarslan Mehmet , Ustaoğlu Ceren
Published: December 2020

Recently, the incomplete Pochhammer ratios are defined in terms of incomplete
beta and gamma functions [10]. In this paper, we introduce the extended
incomplete version of Pochhammer symbols in terms of the generalized
incomplete gamma functions. With the help of this extended incomplete
version of Pochhammer symbols we introduce the extended incomplete version
of Gauss hypergeometric and Appell?s functions and investigate several
properties of them such as integral representations, derivative formulas,
transformation formulas, Mellin transforms and log convex properties.
Furthermore, we investigate incomplete fractional derivatives for extended
incomplete version of some elementary functions.
The new derivation for wreath products of monoids

Published: December 2020

We first define a new consequence of the (restricted) wreath product for
arbitrary two monoids. After that we give a generating and relator set for
this new wreath product. Then we denote some finite and infinite
applications about it. At the final part of this paper we show that this
product satisfies the periodicity and regularity under some conditions.
