THE ECONOMIC CRISIS, A PHENOMENON THAT ECONOMIC THEORY DOES NOT PREDICT
Authors: de Carvalho Antonio Oliveira , dos Santos Douglas Manoel Antonio de Abreu Pestana
Published: November 2024

Economic crisis are recurrent phenomena in the history of economy and intensified as of the 20th century, with increasingly shorter cycles, with local or global dimensions, seeming to go against economic theories and the attempts of economic agents, governments and authorities in the planning and exercise of an efficient control. The purpose of this article is to defend the hypothesis that the occurrence of economic crises is a cyclical phenomenon of the economy, inevitable, unpredictable and uncontrollable and that economic theories based on “céteris paribus” rule, are not sufficient to predict and prevent them. Bibliographical research and documental analysis were carried out to identify theories, grounds, facts, data and historical information in relation to three major global economic crises (1929, 1973 and 2008) analyzing current theories, frameworks and governance models and confronting these in the three crises. Accordingly, the hypotheses of these crises being inevitable, unpredictable and uncontrollable were confirmed, considering the number of agents, variables of political, social and ideological forces, diffuse interests of different groups and of the factors to be managed, in addition to the unpreparedness, discoordination, and naivety of agents and governments. It can be concluded that economic theories, based on the céteris paribus rule, are not sufficient to predict and prevent the occurrence of economic crises, once the countless executors have diffuse interests and limited capacities.
A Review of Single Phase Transformer-less Inverter Topologies for Grid-tied Photovoltaic System andControl Strategy Methods
Authors: Ahmed Najwa , Maher Faeq
Published: November 2024

Grid-tied inverters are crucial in distributed generation systems, serving as an interface between renewable energy sources and utility. Transformer-less inverters are increasingly popular due to their higher efficiency, lower cost, and smaller size. The inverter's current control quality impacts the power quality and converter system performance. Inverter connections must meet the following requirements: maximum power point, high efficiency, control power fed into the grid, and low overall harmonic distortion of the grid currents. As a result, the performance of grid-connected inverters is heavily influenced by the control method described in the first section. In distributed power generation (DG) systems, inverters serve several important purposes. These include converting direct current (dc) to alternating current (ac), ensuring the quality of the output power, implementing different protective measures, and controlling the system. The classification of different types of inverters and their topologies is thoroughly studied, defined, and shown in a graphical fashion. A succinct overview of the control techniques for single-phase inverters has also been provided. Furthermore, a range of controllers are utilized for grid-tied inverters.

Published: November 2024

Accurate and early diagnosis, coupled with precise prognosis, is critical for improving patient outcomes in various medical conditions. This paper focuses on leveraging advanced data mining techniques to address two key medical challenges: diagnosis and prognosis. Diagnosis involves differentiating between benign and malignant conditions, while prognosis aims to predict the likelihood of recurrence after treatment. Despite significant advances in medical imaging and clinical data collection, achieving high accuracy in both diagnosis and prognosis remains a challenge. This study provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining techniques used for medical diagnosis and prognosis, including Neural Networks, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and Support Vector Machines (SVM). These methods are evaluated on their ability to process large, complex datasets and produce actionable insights for medical practitioners.We conducted a thorough comparative analysis based on key performance metrics such as accuracy, Area Under the Curve (AUC), precision, recall, and specificity. Our findings reveal that Neural Networks consistently outperform other techniques in terms of diagnostic accuracy and predictive capacity, demonstrating their robustness in handling high-dimensional and nonlinear medical data. This research underscores the potential of advanced machine learning algorithms in revolutionizing early diagnosis and effective prognosis, thus facilitating more personalized treatment plans and improved healthcare outcomes.

Published: November 2024

Editorial:
In the not-so-distant past, not so long ago in our story of human civilization when the field of rehabilitation and allied health sciences operated within the confines of traditional methodologies. Patient assessments, diagnoses, and treatments followed conventional paths, with healthcare professionals relying heavily on hands-on techniques and their practical experience. This traditional mode, deeply rooted in humancentric practices, proved effective for decades until the unforeseen arrival of an unprecedented challenge. It is said that there is no engaging story without an unforeseen twist and the novel Coronavirus did just that in our story as it put the whole world to a complete halt and shook the entire traditional healthcare system to its very foundations, transforming the healthcare industry for eons to come. In addition to implementing preventative measures to stop the virus from spreading in a highly interactive, multidisciplinary setting, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant hurdles for inpatient rehabilitation services in terms of developing a recovery route for patients who have recovered from the virus(1) In response to this crisis, there was a rapid paradigm shift in the fields of healthcare, especially rehabilitation and allied health sectors. Conventional practices gave way to innovative approaches, and the industry witnessed an accelerated adoption of telerehabilitation and allied health services. This sudden transformation marked a turning point, highlighting the significance of adaptability and technological integration in rehabilitation and allied healthcare. The need for remote patient care offered Telehealth services which is an acceptable means to get over physical obstacles and safety concerns so that patients and caregivers could receive the proper medical care.(2)

Enhancing Climate Resilience in Cabo Verde: Strategies, Challenges, and Opportunities
Authors: Andrade Matos Pedro
Published: November 2024

Climate change presents significant challenges for Cabo Verde, especially impacting its agriculture sector, which is vital for the country’s economy. With an arid climate and limited land, Cabo Verde faces issues, such as soil degradation, drought, and a heavy reliance on food imports. These challenges are compounded by socio-economic factors, including widespread poverty and inequality, which exacerbate vulnerability and limit effective disaster risk management. Efforts to adapt to climate change include implementing soil and water conservation measures, such as terraces and drip irrigation, and diversifying income sources through remittances. A critical aspect of building resilience is integrating climate considerations into all public policy agendas. This involves leveraging traditional knowledge, promoting climate-smart technologies, and emphasizing gender equality to ensure that women, who play a crucial role in agriculture, are recognized as agents of transformation rather than just victims of climate change. Strengthening internal capacities and fostering international cooperation are essential for Cabo Verde to effectively address climate challenges. By adopting an integrated approach that combines technological innovation, community engagement, and strategic policy development, the country can turn climate challenges into opportunities and prosperity for sustainable growth and development.
Rift Valley Fever Virus
Authors: Velayudhan Binu T. , van den Hurk Shaun
Published: November 2024

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus in the genus Phlebovirus of the family Phenuviridae. It is an arbovirus transmitted mainly by mosquitoes. RVFV is an emerging zoonotic disease where humans can get infected via exposure of mucosa or broken skin to infected animals or through mosquito transmission. The disease was first detected in sheep in the Rift Valley region in Kenya in 1930, and since then, several outbreaks have been reported in northern and sub-Saharan Africa and Middle Eastern countries. North America is considered free of RVF, but the mosquito vectors involved in the transmission of RVF are present in many regions of the American and European continents. The virus causes disease in livestock characterized by hemorrhagic fever. The severity of the disease varies among different species, with sheep experiencing the most severe infection. Young as well as pregnant animals may also be severely affected by RVFV. For laboratory diagnosis, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the most commonly used test. Other assays, including serological assays and nucleic acid-based point-of-care tests, are also available for RVF diagnosis. There is no specific treatment for RVFV infection. Control and preventive measures should include vaccination, vector control, and proper hygiene.
The Role of Culture and Environment in Shaping Creative Thinking
Authors: Mahama Inuusah
Published: November 2024

Creativity is a multifaceted concept that extends beyond traditional artistic domains, encompassing practical and functional applications across diverse fields such as education, business, and technology. Contemporary understandings of creativity emphasize its role in producing novel and valuable ideas or solutions, reflecting a shift from purely esthetic conceptions to broader, context-dependent phenomena. This evolution has been driven by technological advancements, globalization, and socio-economic factors, which have expanded the possibilities for creative expression and innovation. Interdisciplinary collaboration and digital tools have emerged as critical enablers, fostering new forms of creativity that transcend traditional boundaries. However, significant barriers such as conformity, time constraints, and socio-economic disparities continue to hinder creative potential, particularly in educational settings. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence into creative processes presents ethical challenges that must be navigated carefully to ensure responsible innovation. As creativity becomes increasingly central to addressing complex problems and driving societal progress, future research should focus on optimizing educational environments, exploring the impact of AI, and understanding the influence of cultural and socio-economic factors on creative practices. By addressing these challenges and fostering environments that balance ethical responsibility with creative freedom, we can unlock the full potential of creativity to contribute to a more innovative, equitable, and culturally rich society.
Occupational Sleep Medicine: The Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders in High-Risk Occupations
Authors: Popević Martin
Published: November 2024

Sleep-related breathing disorders, primarily obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), have a major impact on the occurrence of excessive daytime sleepiness, sleepiness behind the wheel, and on the occurrence of traffic accidents. It is estimated that almost one billion people worldwide have OSA, while 425 million people suffer from a moderate and severe form of this disease, but that the disease is not recognized in 85% of patients. Drivers with untreated or undiagnosed OSA are two to seven times more likely to be involved in a traffic accident. People working in high-risk occupations, especially safety sensitive jobs, such as commercial drivers, heavy machinery operators, railroad workers, airline pilots, and military personnel, are the most vulnerable category due to significant risk to personal and public safety and health. Despite mandatory medical screening, OSA prevalence in these occupational groups is estimated to be 26–70%, leading to accidents and injuries on and off work, with high costs to employees, employers, and society in general. Further measures should be taken in adequate education, screening, diagnostic, and treatment procedures in order to reduce the burden of sleep-related breathing disorders and its consequences in high-risk professions.
Endoscopic Lumbar Rhizotomy for Facetogenic Pain
Authors: Nasser Azmi
Published: November 2024

Chronic lumbar facetogenic pain is a common condition, with broad significance on disability and care costs. Endoscopic rhizotomy (ER) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to treat chronic spine pain by cutting or destroying the medial branch nerves that supply the facet joints in the spine. The procedure is also known as direct visualized rhizotomy or facet joint denervation. It is more advanced than the typical radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and considered to provide more permanent therapeutic benefit. Endoscopic rhizotomy has the particular advantage of direct visualization of the anatomical structures including the articular capsule, bony landmarks, and the target medial branch nerves. Thus enabling a more accurate neurotomy, and if necessary also a capsulotomy or removal of other pathology such as facet cysts. The goal of this chapter is to introduce the reader to endoscopic spine surgery with regards to rhizotomy, its instruments, and describe the technique.
Synthesis and Characterization of Thermosetting Polymers: An Electrospinning Approach
Authors: Fainleib Alexander , Grigoryeva Olga , Starostenko Olga , Grande Daniel
Published: November 2024

This chapter is devoted to the description of the main recent approaches and technical solutions for the creation of polymer micro- and nanofibers engineered by electrospinning precursors of thermosetting polymers. Structure-property relationships have been analyzed for miscellaneous complex systems, including epoxy electrospun micro and nanofibers; submicron carbon nanotube−epoxy nanocomposite filaments, rigid fibers based on functional polynorbornenes with epoxy or carboxylic pendant groups, and core-shell nanofibers with a structure of semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) based on thermoplastic polyamide and thermosetting epoxy resin. The first experimental results for creating electrospun nanofibers with a semi-IPN structure based on polysulfone/polycyanurate or polysulfone/polycyanurate/polybenzoxazine are discussed. Due to the unique properties of polycyanurates, namely high heat- and chemical resistance to aggressive substances, low dielectric losses, and low water absorption, the resulting electrospun fibers could potentially become useful as components in different advanced materials with improved properties to operate in aggressive environments over a range of temperatures.
Paleolithic Diet and Dyslipidemia
Authors: Omrani Morteza , Tayebeh Rahideh Seyedeh
Published: November 2024

Dyslipidemia is defined as an imbalance in the blood lipid profile that can cause many metabolic diseases. Several clinical studies in the past have proven the importance of a proper diet in the prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia. However, the relationship between consumption of a single food like red meat or whole grain with the occurrence of dyslipidemia has been well investigated. But considering the cumulative effect of food patterns can indicate a better image of the relationship between daily food intake and dyslipidemia. It has been proven that following diets like the dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) diet and the Mediterranean diet (MD) have been associated with a reduction in inflammatory and lipid markers. In recent years, a new diet based on observing the food pattern of the ancestors and early humans, called the Paleolithic diet (PD), has been researched. The PD is categorized as low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet. It is thought that through increasing ketone bodies and suppressing appetite, it reduces the incidence of metabolic diseases. Studies have also been conducted to find out the relationship between PD and dyslipidemia. Therefore, we decided to collect the results of some of them in this chapter.
Infections and Emotional Responses
Authors: Rocha Martinez Tania Leme da
Published: November 2024

Infections can be the cause of emotional disturbances. The psychological aspects related to them have been studied for decades with more emphasis in tuberculosis. On the most recent time scale COVID has been the virus most profoundly and published studies on psychological disorder manifestations. Indications for psychotherapy have multiplied during the COVID pandemic. Also noteworthy are all other infections, such as mPOX, brucellosis, verminosis, influenza etc. Many individuals in contact with virus carriers, such as flu, do not acquire the virus infection while others, per example tuberculosis patients do not become infected by Koch's bacillus. In some patients the symptoms of the infection may disappear in a matter of days, while others even present longer clinical evolution as a neurotropism allergy to brucellosis. This suggests an interrelationship between infections and immune defenses, mainly due to psychic factors influencing the hypothalamic-adrenal axis and producing the relative insufficiency of the adrenal cortex. The attitude of affection and interest adopted by the physician and auxiliary person is of paramount importance, as a form of labor therapy, in an adequate work and subsequent feeling of usefulness. In conclusion, the proper health education related to the illness and treatment plan should be provided to the patients along with their family members. There is a need to improve access to counseling and mental healthcare among patients living with infections.
Nocturnal enuresis in children
Authors: mahmoud Fatma mohamed
Published: November 2024

Nocturnal enuresis, defined as urinary incontinence during sleep at least twice weekly for three consecutive months in children over 5 years old, is a common childhood condition that significantly impacts both children and their families. This review examines the classification, etiology, pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment options for nocturnal enuresis. The condition is classified as either monosymptomatic or non-monosymptomatic, and primary or secondary, with primary enuresis accounting for 80% of cases. The pathophysiology involves three main mechanisms: nocturnal polyuria, high arousal threshold, and bladder dysfunction. Genetic factors play a significant role, with a strong familial component following an autosomal dominant pattern. Evaluation includes detailed medical history, voiding diary, physical examination, and basic laboratory tests. Treatment approaches are divided into non-pharmacological (including behavioral modifications, motivational therapy, and alarm therapy) and pharmacological interventions (primarily desmopressin, tricyclic antidepressants, and anticholinergic drugs). While alarm therapy shows the highest long-term success rates (65-75%), combination therapy may be necessary for treatment-resistant cases. This review emphasizes the importance of individualized treatment approaches and family support in managing childhood nocturnal enuresis effectively.

The results of the surgery showed that there was a perforated appendix and a tiny bowel obstruction brought on by Meckel's diverticulum, which was the cause of the bowel distension. The outcome of the surgery was positive.
Naturalism and the Intellectual Legitimacy of Philosophy
Authors: Kornblith Hilary ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2024

There is a worry about the intellectual legitimacy of philosophy. Although the sciences have a progressive history, with later theories largely building on earlier ones, and a tremendous amount of agreement within the scientific community about the approximate truth of current theory, philosophy is different. We do not see a progressive history of philosophical theorizing, and there is little agreement within the philosophical community about which theories are even roughly correct. This not only encourages a certain skepticism about the possibility of philosophical knowledge, but a real question about whether the activity of philosophical theorizing is intellectually legitimate. It is argued here that there are features of a naturalistic methodology in philosophy which have the resources to respond to these concerns.
Individual Autonomy as Normative Promise and Outcome of Higher Education
Authors: Dimitrov Asen V. ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2024

This article suggests an explorative approach to the character and meaning of individual autonomy in higher education through a particular conception of social relations. Following Axel Honneth, a theoretical framework is outlined in which subjectivity and autonomy are results of underlying institutionalised relations of recognition in the forms of love, legal respect, and social esteem. It is argued that when higher education is seen as self-formation and as a field of relations of recognition due to its collegial, legal, and evaluative features, it is possible to conceive of its institutional environment as supportive or obstructive to recognition and, consequently, to the advancement of individual autonomy. Such a theoretical tool, based on Honneth’s recognition theory, could then translate into a critical instrument able to extend the understanding of what constitutes matters of individual autonomy in and across specific institutionalised contexts, including higher education.

The genus Painjunirmus Ansari, 1947 is resurrected from synonymy with Brueelia Kéler, 1936, and considered a subgenus of Brueelia Kéler, 1936. A formal redescription and diagnosis for Painjunirmus is given. Four of the five previously described species of Painjunirmus are redescribed and illustrated: Brueelia (Painjunirmus) brevipennis Ansari, 1956, from Argya squamiceps squamiceps (Cretzschmar, 1826); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) chilchil Ansari, 1955, from Argya caudata eclipes (Hume, 1877); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) magnini Ansari, 1956a, from Argya fulva acaciae (Lichtenstein, 1823); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) pengya (Ansari, 1947) from Argya striata sindiana (Ticehurst, 1920) and A. s. striata (Dumont, 1823). The species Brueelia (Painjunirmus) parvus (Mey, 2017) is discussed. The species Brueelia (Painjunirmus) alba sp. nov. is described from a Nepalese population of Argya striata striata (Dumont, 1823). A neotype is designated for Brueelia chilchil Ansari, 1956. A key to almost all species of the subgenus Painjunirmus is provided.
Measuring the extent of synergies among innovation actors and their contributions: the Helix as a cooperative game
Authors: Dehez Pierre , Mêgnigbêto Eustache
Published: November 2024

We generalize the 3-player game introduced by Mêgnigbêto (2018) to analyze the synergies existing between universities, the industry and the government in the Triple Helix, a model of research and innovation introduced by Leydesdorff and Etzkowitz (1995). We consider situations involving any number of actors and we allow for a differentiation of their contributions. The resulting game has nonnegative Harsanyi dividends, implying its convexity. The relative size of the core measures the extent of the synergies and the Shapley value measures the contribution of each actor to these synergies. Incidentally, the resulting game lends itself to a wide range of applications.

Digitising Kiswahili for Translation Economy
Authors: Sangili Nabeta K. N.
Published: November 2024

Translation currently is one of the biggest currency earners globally whose net worth stands in billions of US Dollars. Perhaps, when compared to teaching, translation becomes the second richest single entity in a pool of Language Service Providers. Kiswahili language, in its quest to be among the top languages globally, has embraced translation and increasingly expanding its horizon. This paper therefore purposed to find out the state and quality of online translation tools like Google Translate as used by Kiswahili clients in translation services. The research methodology used was qualitative. A random sampling technique was used to get sample words, phrases, and sentences. The results show that Google Translate has demonstrated excellent translation results when it comes to individual lexemes as compared to phrases and sentences. In some cases, the phrases, especially when used figuratively, have the potential to mislead and give birth to spurious translation. The results of this research will go a long way in helping improve online translation from and into Kiswahili hence not only improving Kiswahili but also opening potentialities of other African languages.
2023’DEN GÜNÜMÜZE ANAYASA MAHKEMESİ’NİN TÜRK MEDENİ KANUNU’NDA İPTAL ETTİĞİ HÜKÜMLERİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Ateş Zehra Gizem
Published: November 2024

Son yıllarda toplumun hızla gelişen ve değişen ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda Anayasa Mahkemesi tarafından Türk Medeni Kanunu’nun (TMK) aile hukuku hükümlerinden bazıları iptal edilmiştir. İptal edilen hükümlerin yürürlük tarihi Anayasa Mahkemesi tarafından ileri tarihe bırakılmıştır. Yürürlük tarihi dolmasına rağmen kanun koyucu tarafından yeni bir yasal düzenleme yapılmadığı görülmektedir. Bu durumda iptal edilen hükümlerin aile hukukuna yansıması ve iptal sonucu oluşan boşluğun nasıl doldurulacağı üzerinde durulması gerekmektedir. Bilhassa ard arda gelen iptal kararları neticesinde aile hukuku hükümlerinde önemli bir değişim gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2023’den günümüze kadar Anayasa Mahkemesi tarafından iptal edilen aile hukuku hükümlerini ortaya koymak ve iptal kararlarının olası sonuçlarını tartışmaktır. Öncelikle Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin iptal kararları TMK sistematiğine göre belirlenecek, ardından iptalin etkisi incelenecektir.

KAMU İHALE SUÇLARINDAN ÖTÜRÜ UYGULANAN HÜKMÜN AÇIKLANMASININ GERİ BIRAKILMASI KARARININ İDARE HUKUKU AÇISINDAN SONUÇLARI

Kamu ihale suçlarından verilen Hükmün Açıklanmasının Geri Bı-
rakılması (HAGB), mahkûmiyeti askıya alan bir karardır. Onun belli
bir süre daha hukuki sonuç yaratmayacak olması, ihalede gerçekleşti-
rilen yasak fiillerden ötürü uygulanan; kamu ihalelerine katılmaktanyasaklanma, görevden el çektirme, kamu görevlisine para cezası uy-
gulanması, tüzel kişiler hakkında idari para cezası uygulanması, zarar
ziyanın tazmini, ihalenin iptali ve feshi, memuriyetten çıkarılma ve
disiplin cezası gibi idari yaptırımlar üzerinde ‘belirsiz’ bir olumsuz
etkide bulunabilmektedir.
Çalışmamız bir bütün halinde; kamu ihale suçlarından verilen
HAGB kararının, idare hukuku açısından sonuçlarının neler olduğuna
ilişkin bir değerlendirme amacı taşımaktadır. Bu sebeple öncelikle
kamu ihale suçları açısından geçerli olan cezai ve idari yaptırımlar
incelenmiş, daha sonra cezai yaptırımın sonucu olarak uygulanabilen
HAGB kurumu değerlendirilmiş ve nihayetinde HAGB kurumunun
idare hukuku açısından sonuçları üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu bağlamda
konu hakkında hem idare hem ceza hukuku çalışmalarına hem de
güncel yüksek mahkeme kararlarına yer verilmiştir.
Çalışmanın sonuç kısmında, HAGB kurumu ile idari yaptırımların
birbirine uygun hale getirilmesi için yapılması gerekenler konusunda
hem uygulayıcılara hem de Kanun Koyucu’ya yol göstereceğini dü-
şündüğümüz sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır.
AKİM KALMIŞ AZMETTİRMEDE CEZAİ SORUMLULUĞUN İLKE VE SINIRLARI -AYNI ZAMANDA HAMM EYALET YÜKSEK MAHKEMESİNİN KARARININ TARTIŞILMASI (OLG HAMM V. 22.10.1991 - L WS 249/91)-

Suça şerikliğin bir türü olan azmettirmenin cezalandırılabilmesi için
kasten ve hukuka aykırı olarak işlenen fiilin en azından teşebbüs aşama-
sına varmış olması gerekir. Diğer bir ifadeyle, teşebbüs aşamasında kal-
mış bir asıl fiilin varlığı şarttır. Aksi halde azmettirenin, sorumlu tutula-
bilmesi mümkün değildir. Asıl fiilin işlenmediği, yani azmettirmenin
kendisinin teşebbüs aşamasında kaldığı durum doktrinde akim kalmış
azmettirme (azmettirmeye teşebbüs) olarak ifade edilmektedir. Azmetti-
renin akim kalmış (zincirleme) azmettirmeden dolayı sorumlu tutulma-
sına ilişkin Alman Ceza Kanunu’nun 30. maddesinin 1. fıkrasında genel
bir düzenleme yapılmıştır. Alman hukukunda akim kalmış azmettirme-
nin cezalandırılmasının gerekçesi, hukuksal değerlerin tehlikeye girme-
sine yol açmak suretiyle olay üzerinde hâkimiyet kaybının tehlikeliliğine
(Kontrollverlust über das Geschehen) dayandırılmaktadır. Buna göre bir
kimseyi azmettirmekle; olay üzerinde hâkimiyet kaybı gerçekleşmekte,
azmettiren ikna konusunda elinden geleni yaparak kriminal olayı elinden
çıkarmakta ve artık hakimiyetini kuramayacağı nedensel bir süreci baş-
latmaktadır. Türk hukukunda ise bu fiilin cezalandırılmasına ilişkin ka-
nunda genel bir düzenleme yapılmamıştır. Ancak doktrinde azmettirme-
nin başlı başına bir haksızlık teşkil ettiğinden hareketle bu fiilin cezalan-
dırılması gerektiği artık kabul edilmektedir. Çevirisi yapılan bu çalışma-
da mezkûr hükmün bir alt vakası olarak akim kalmış azmettirmede cezai
sorumluluğun prensipleri ve sınırları; Hamm Eyalet Yüksek Mahkeme-
si’nin 22.10.1991 tarih ve L WS 249/91 sayılı kararı çerçevesinde bu
fiilin objektif ve sübjektif unsurları ele alınmıştır.

This study explores the factors contributing to the success of women entrepreneurs in Algeria who have benefited from microfinance programs. It also examines the obstacles these entrepreneurs face. The primary aim of this research is to identify the key elements influencing the success of women who have participated in microcredit schemes. A qualitative methodology is employed, guided by the Lussier model of success, with a sample of nine women entrepreneurs from the Dar El Beida District in Algiers Province. The study investigates the factors behind their entrepreneurial success. The findings highlight several critical success factors, including financial support, family backing, management skills, partnerships, communication, networking, education, and prior experience. These factors are shown to have a significant impact on the success of women entrepreneurs in Algeria. The results further support the applicability of the Lussier model of success both locally and globally. In addition, the study provides valuable insights for policymakers, offering recommendations for developing programs that foster women's entrepreneurship. This research contributes to the existing literature by shedding light on why some women entrepreneurs succeed after benefiting from microfinance programs.

Sporotrichosis is an emerging and neglected mycosis with a worldwide distribution. In Brazil, a zoonotic epidemic is occurring, with two epicenters identified in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul. However, little is known about the dynamics of this epidemic. In the present work, the incidence rate of the disease was calculated, and the SI (Susceptible Infected) mathematical model was employed to elucidate the epidemiological parameters and the epidemic curve of sporotrichosis in cats. Data from the urban area of Pelotas, the main city affected by sporotrichosis in southern Brazil, and secondary data from the main veterinary mycological diagnostic laboratory in the region were utilized. Through the results obtained, an average incidence rate of 79 cases per 100,000 cats was found, and R0 of 1.45 (basic reproduction number) was determined, indicating that the epidemic is in its exponential phase. It was confirmed that the SI mathematical model was capable of inferring fundamental parameters of the dynamics and dissemination of sporotrichosis, and can be used as a tool for predicting the progression of this disease. As a consequence of the results found, we present an epidemiological scenario that necessitates immediate intervention with measures to contain the spread of this epidemic.
