The paper reports the results of testing the by us developed detachable matrix eddy current transducer designed to detect discontinuities on the surface of thin (tens of micrometers) inspected conductive objects, in particular, electrically conductive coatings of aircraft fuel tanks. The transducer can be useful for other applications, e.g. magnetic tomography. The device consists of 32 miniature inductors series-produced by the electronic industry and allowing you to cover an 80 mm wide band with a 2.5 mm wide test path. The use of inductance coils as magnetic receivers is due to the small thickness of the coatings to be tested. With this thickness, testing is effective only at an operating frequency of hundreds of kilohertz. Otherwise, the sounding magnetic field will not be reflected from the item under inspection. At these frequencies, modern microelectronic magnetic field sensors are inoperable. Scanning was carried out at an operating frequency of about 100 kHz. The scan results were displayed on the monitor of the personal computer. By selecting the operating frequency, the information content of the examination can be increased. The transducer detects the pattern of the copper foil of glass textolite both on the foil side and on the reverse side when the material thickness is 1.5 mm. The foil pattern is also detected through an aluminum foil gasket with a thickness of more than 10 μm. Steel plate surface discontinuities have also been detected, and this can be of interest for in-tube flaw detection. Cheap serial inductors designed for surface mounting take up a minimum of space on the printed circuit board and provide higher inspection resolution compared to coils obtained by printing. The scanning step (2.5 mm) achieved in this device is unique to matrix eddy current transducers. The study demonstrates the practicality and efficiency of using serial miniature inductors in eddy current testing.
The moderating role of external private investment on government-sponsored commercialisation R&D
Authors: Kim Zhunwoo , Kwon Ohsung
Published: January 2024

The influence of external private investment (EPI) in public R&D is well-known, however, research has yet to understand the significance of it on the success of R&D. We expand upon existing literature by focusing on the effect of EPI in conducting public R&D, and more specifically, suggesting the moderating role of EPI on the commercialisation success with 472 samples from Korean manufacturing firms. Our findings address that EPI positively moderates the relationship between the amount of government fund, the difference of technology readiness level before and after R&D, and the commercialisation success. As a result, this research contributes to a managerial perspective; concluding that public R&D with EPI is both more successful and rewarding.

Published: January 2024

Relevance. There are limited data on the long-term outcomes of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) during the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020.

Objective. To assess the 24-month survival rate among patients with IGT and previous myocardial infarction in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the same period in 2019.

Materials and methods. We assessed the two-year survival rate of patients with MI and IGT from 10/1/2020 to12/10/2020 during the indirect influence of the pandemic compared to the same period in pre-pandemic 2019. The study was single-center, retrospective.

Results. 179 persons in 2020 and 261 persons in 2019 with MI and IGT applied to a regional center to perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI center). There was an increase in mortality from MI and IGT from 4.1 % in 2019 to 9.9 % (p = 0.04) in the “pandemic” year of 2020. The relapse-free survival of patients was analyzed using the Kaplan – Meier curve method. By the end of the first year in 2020, 82.1 % of patients remained from the original, and in 2019 – 88.1 %, (p = 0.001), at the end of the 24-month observation period – 78.2 % among patients with MI in 2020 and 83.5 % in 2019, (p = 0.0015).

Conclusions. A retrospective analysis of cases with MI and IGT during a pandemic in Russia showed the worst prognoses for the two-year survival rate among patients, more severe heart attacks with increased number of complications.

Objective. To analyze the effectiveness of etiotropic antiviral therapy with direct antiviral drugs against chronic viral hepatitis C in the adult population of the Perm Krai.

Materials and methods. In the regional register of Perm Krai, 20095 patients with chronic viral hepatitis C were registered. In 2019–2021, antiviral therapy with direct antiviral drugs, registered in the Russian Federation, and included in the list of vital and essential medicines for medical use was prescribed to 282 patients with chronic hepatitis C. There were 137 men (48.6 %), 145 (51.4 %) – women. The age of the patients ranged from 26 to 82 years, the duration of the disease – from 3 to 25 years.

Results. All the therapy regimes we used showed 100 % effectiveness in the population of patients suffering from chronic hepatitis C associated with mild liver fibrosis regardless of genotype, whereas in the population of patients with grade 3 fibrosis or liver cirrhosis, 100 % effectiveness was achieved only after the use of sofosbuvir-containing schemes. The pangenotypic schemes resulted in 100 % achievement of a stable virological response among patients with genotype 1 regardless of the stage of liver fibrosis and previous therapy experience. In the treatment of patients infected with genotype 3 of hepatitis C virus with severe fibrosis, the effectiveness of 100 % was noted after the use of sofosbuvir-containing regimes.

Conclusions. Among the adult population of Perm Krai, the overall effectiveness of therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C, who used direct antiviral drugs, was 97.8 %.
2023 Earthquake Doublet in Türkiye Reveals the Complexities of the East Anatolian Fault Zone: Insights from Aftershock Patterns and Moment Tensor Solutions
Authors: Ezgi Güvercin Sezim
Published: January 2024

The East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) is a 700-km-long left-lateral transform fault system along the boundary between the Anatolian and Arabian plates. In the interseismic period, the eastern segments of the EAFZ display relatively uniform seismic activity, whereas the western segments exhibit seismic gaps, localized clusters, and extensive diffuse zones. Hence, our understanding of the geometry and kinematics of the western and northern segments remain limited. The occurrences of the 6 February 2023 Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş on the main branch and Mw 7.6 Elbistan earthquakes on the northern branch have led to complex aftershock activity shedding light on the nature of these relatively silent segments. In this study, to better understand the complexities of the fault, we constructed a comprehensive catalog of ∼32,000 earthquakes that occurred between 6 February 2023 and 30 March 2023, using a deep-neural-network-based picker. In addition, 170 earthquake source mechanisms with Mw 3.5+ were obtained from regional moment tensor inversion. The spatial distribution of the aftershocks shows that most of the activity clusters around the fault bends and major depressions. Previously unmapped and inactive secondary faults of varying lengths are identified within these geometrical complexities. The new seismological observations provide compelling evidence of extension along the Karasu valley, compression occurring along the Erkenek segment, reactivation of basin faults near the Narlı fault zone and the persistent shallow seismic creep of the Pütürge segment. The analysis of seismicity and earthquake source mechanisms along the northern branch reveals the structures of previously inactive faults, both near the extensional Göksun bend in the west and the compressional Nurhak fault complex in the east. In summary, we illustrate the intricacies of previously quiet segments of the EAFZ and aim to gain a deeper understanding of how secondary faults and geometrical discontinuities along the EAFZ played a role in shaping the 2023 Türkiye doublet earthquakes.
Sex differences in the efficacy of diuretics in the treatment of hypertension; a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Vaes Esmée
Published: January 2024

Background: Pharmacological treatment of high blood pressure is considered essential in the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but sex differences may disturb effectiveness. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate possible differences in effects for diuretics on blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac function in female compared to male hypertensive individuals. Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on studies on diuretics from 1945 to May 2020. Studies had to present both baseline and follow-up measurements of the interested outcome variables and present data sex-stratified. Mean differences were calculated using a random-effects model. Results: Eighteen studies investigating on diuretics were used in this review. The effect of diuretics on blood pressure was clinically significant in both females and males and more profound in chronic treatment. Heart rate and left ventricular ejection fraction did not change significantly throughout treatment in both sexes, but cardiac output decreased significantly in females. Changes in left ventricular mass were only significant in males. Conclusion: Diuretics decreased blood pressure in both sexes, especially when used chronically. Nonetheless, sex depending differences on blood pressure, cardiac output and left ventricular mass may suggest diversity in response to diuretics, implying the importance of considering sex-specific treatment strategies.
Documented and projected actions in vitro of thyroid hormone as L -thyroxine (T4) on basal cell carcinoma of the skin
Authors: Davis Paul , Hercbergs Aleck , Lin Hung-Yun , Leinung Matthew , Mousa Shaker
Published: January 2024

Thyroid hormone as L-thyroxine (T4) at physiological concentrations acts at its cell surface receptor on integrin avb3 to stimulate cancer cell proliferation1. These proliferation studies have been conducted in vitro, but pharmacological reduction of T4 and substitution of nuclear receptor ligand 3,3’,5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) is a state of euthyroid hypothyroxinemia that has been shown clinically to arrest tumor growth in patients with cancer. T3 is inactive at physiological levels at the plasma membrane integrin receptor. A preclinical study of human basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells has shown that the integrin thyroid hormone receptor regulates BCC radiosensitivity. While the large majority of BCCs are very manageable clinically, a small number of such tumors are aggressive. In this review of documented and proposed effects of T4 on BCC cells, we raise the possibility that BCC aggressiveness reflects T4 actions on its thyrointegrin target. The functions affected by T4 at the integrin in other human cancers include enhanced cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, immune checkpoint regulation and metastasis, as well as state of radiosensitivity. The importance of investigating this possible pathophysiology is that euthyroid hypothyroxinemia may be tested as a treatment option.

In the indigenous medical system, Terminalia arjuna is one of the most widely used and advantageous medicinal herbs for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. This thorough analysis offers the most recent information on the traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacological data, toxicological data, clinical efficacy, safety and efficacy of Terminalia arjuna. It also lays out plans for further study and development to substantiate the plant's therapeutic potential through scientific means.

A thorough web and library search of numerous indexed and non-indexed journals, some local literature and a variety of publications published on ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry and traditional usage were used to gather information about Terminalia arjuna. Regarding the effectiveness and safety profile of Terminalia arjuna, numerous pre-clinical (2000–2014) and clinical investigations (1990–2014) have also been taken into consideration. The pleiotropic advantages associated with Terminalia arjuna, comprising its anti-atherogenic, hypotensive, inotropic, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and antioxidant properties, have been demonstrated in numerous in vitro, in vivo and clinical investigations. These effects can be used to treat a variety of cardiovascular problems.

There is sample evidence to support the plant's good safety profile when combined with other traditional medications. The precise molecular mechanism of its action, the best way to administer the medication, whether to employ an alcoholic, watery or crude extract, toxicological research and how it interacts with other medications are all poorly understood.

This review concludes by emphasizing the significance of Terminalia arjuna, as well as its pleiotropic effects and functional characteristics particularly in relation to cardiovascular disorders. Even though a number of pharmacological research and clinical trials back up its traditional use in treating CVD, more rigorous, state-of-the-art clinical trials with larger sample sizes are necessary to evaluate Terminalia arjuna purported efficacy.
Knowledge, attitude and practices related to drug prescription among postgraduate medical students: A cross sectional study
Authors: Parmar Akshay Hasmukhbhai , Sukhlecha Anupama , Katariya Kajal
Published: January 2024

Pharmacology, being both the basic and applied science of drugs, forms the backbone of rational therapeutics. With an emphasis on learning the facts of medications, traditional pharmacology teaching is mostly teacher-centred. The erroneous prescribing that can result from inadequate understanding can cost a great deal of money and lives. The aim of the present study was to assess doctors' prescription knowledge, attitudes, and practices.

The information was gathered from postgraduate students (residents) using questionnaires about their undergraduate training in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, prescribing practices, frequently used drug information sources, and any perceived shortcomings in their undergraduate clinical pharmacology teaching. There was a calculation of descriptive statistics and a chi-square test.

Among the 149 responses, 86 (57.71%) of them were male and 63 (42.28%) were female. Only 33 (22.1%) participants knew the components of a prescription, and 135 (90.6%) participants were aware that prescription writing was taught in their undergraduate course. Around 41 (27.5%) participants were aware of the concept of P drugs. Among them, 89 (59.73%) residents had good knowledge of prescriptions. Only 35 (23.5%) strongly agreed, and 113 (75.8%) agreed that undergraduate pharmacology training taught them to prescribe safely. About 83 (55.7%) participants disagreed, 33 (22.1%) strongly disagreed, and only 10 (6.7%) agreed that undergraduate pharmacology teaching should be improved. According to the patient's needs, 146 (98%) participants were prescribed additional vitamins and irons. Around 52 (34.9%) participants reported having difficulty prescribing during their internship rotation. Among them, 77 (51.67%) residents had good practice of prescription.

A majority of postgraduate students believed that additional training should be provided on writing rational prescriptions to make them more confident in their prescribing practices.
Antibacterial activity of methanol leaves extract against Uropathogens
Authors: Soruba R , Sathiya V
Published: January 2024

One of the reasons diseases are re-emerging is due to multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria in the environment because of overuse of antibiotics. The conventional antibiotics are losing their efficacy against the strains that they used to work against. These prevailing conditions push us towards the pursuit of finding new antimicrobial agents. They might prove to be the solution for the problem under consideration. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of leaf extracts against a panel of pathogenic microorganisms. The leaves were extracted using methanol and the antimicrobial activity was evaluated using agar disc diffusion method. Our results demonstrated significant antimicrobial potential for the methanol extract, with pronounced inhibition against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including This assay suggests their potential application as therapeutic agents. Moreover, the phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, which may contribute to their antimicrobial efficacy. These findings highlight leaf extracts as promising sources of natural antimicrobial agents that could be developed into novel therapeutics to combat AMR and enhance public health. However, further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action and evaluate their safety and efficacy in clinical settings.

AIM: To investigate the impact of multifocal gas permeable contact lens (MFGPCL) in various add power and distance/near area allocation on short-term changes of choroidal thickness (ChT), axial length (AL), and retinal defocus profile in young adults.
METHODS: Seventeen young adults (2 males and 15 females; age 23.17±4.48y) were randomly assigned to wear two designs binocularly with a one-week washout period in between. Total of four MFGPCL designs were assessed. All designs were distance-center that varied in two add power (+1.50 and 3.00 D) and/or two distance zone (DZ) diameters (1.50 and 3.00 mm; design A: DZ 1.5/add 3.0, B: DZ 1.5/add 1.5, C: DZ 3.0/add 3.0, D: DZ 3.0/add 1.5). ChT, AL, and peripheral refraction data were collected on each subject at baseline, on days 1 and 7 of MFGPCL daily wear. ChT was assessed in four quadrants using a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
RESULTS: AL was shortened by -26±44 µm with lens C, -18±27 µm with lens D, -13±29 µm with lens A, and -8±30 µm with lens B (all P<0.05). A significant overall increase in ChT was observed with all 4 designs (lens A: +6±6 µm, B: +3±7 µm, C: +8±7 µm, and D: +8±7 µm). Temporal and superior choroid exhibited more choroidal thickening associated with MFGPCL. All designs induced significant relative peripheral myopia (RPM) beyond the central 20o across the horizontal meridian in both nasal and temporal fields (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: MFGPCLs show a significant influence on ChT and AL, which are associated with significant increase in RPM after short-term wear. The reliability and feasibility of quantifying short-term changes in ChT support its use as a promising marker for the long-term efficacy of myopia-controlling treatments.

Published: January 2024

Celem artykułu jest omówienie problemu wsparcia społecznego rodzin uchodźców z Ukrainy przebywających w Polsce w wyniku wojny, w ujęciu pedagogiki społecznej, na podstawie uzyskanego materiału z częściowo ustrukturyzowanych wywiadów (pogłębionych). Wyniki badań dowodzą, że uchodźcy otrzymali w Polsce szeroką gamę wsparcia społecznego, za które zgodnie wyrażali wdzięczność i podziękowanie. Wspierający stworzyli „spiralę życzliwości” i zrealizowali podstawowy cel wsparcia społecznego, tj. zaspokojenie podstawowych potrzeb osób znajdujących się w trudnej, wręcz traumatycznej dla nich sytuacji, której nie byli w stanie przezwyciężyć za pomocą własnych sił i zasobów. Osiągnięcie wymienionego celu wsparcia społecznego nie wywołało u rozmówców postawy aktywnego włączenia się w poprawę własnego położenia życiowego, istotnego m.in. z perspektywy pedagogiki społecznej, w wymiarze praktycznym. Mimo funkcjonowania w sprzyjającym środowisku społecznym, brak samodzielnego zaangażowania badanych osób w konstruowanie i przebieg własnego życia może w przyszłości prowadzić do zaprzepaszczenia ich potencjalnych szans rozwojowych i życiowych.

Published: January 2024

Z uwagi na to, iż badania własne mają charakter retrospektywny, przyjęłam założenie przedstawienia wątków z biografii badanego w ujęciu przeszłość–teraźniejszość, co jest zgodne z biograficznym podejściem badawczym. Zamierzeniem badawczym uczyniłam wątki determinujące indywidualny charakter dzieciństwa: stygmatyzowanie, obciążenie emocjonalne wyrokiem rodzica, osamotnienie i dorosłości czyli doświadczenia, przeżycia i znaczenia nadawane im przez badanego, wychowującego się w rodzinie z jednym z rodziców pozbawionym wolności. Dokonałam próby rozumienia sytuacji rodzinnej badanego, nie natomiast oceny jego postępowania, lokując dociekania badawcze w paradygmacie konstruktywistycznym i interpretacyjnym. Część empiryczna artykułu to próba odpowiedzi na następujące pytania badawcze: W jakiej przestrzeni badany lokuje, urzeczywistnia retrospektywne wyobrażenie o statusie dorosłego? W jaki sposób wizja życia rodzinnego badanego przekłada się na interpretację formującej się teraźniejszości, dynamiki współczesnego funkcjonowania w rodzinie? Projektowanym rdzeniem procesu epistemologiczno-eksploracyjnego w owych badaniach jest biografia i wywiad pogłębiony. Poddanie namysłowi dążeń badanego do odkrywania motywatorów realności funkcjonowania w przestrzeni rodzinnej stanowiło cel analizy. Opracowanie to poszukiwanie uzasadnień i głos w dyskusji akcentującej przejaw egzystencjalnego uczenia się zachodzącego w doświadczeniu kryzysu braku.

Published: January 2024

El trauma es la principal causa de muerte de la población en edad productiva. El abordaje del trauma torácico cerrado todavía es un desafío para el médico de urgencias. Aunque no es una entidad frecuente, se asocia con una alta mortalidad y resultados adversos. El diagnóstico del trauma cerrado de aorta torácica (LCAT) requiere un alto índice de sospecha, dado que los signos y síntomas no son específicos de esta enfermedad (dolor torácico, dolor interescapular, disnea, disfagia, estridor, disfonía). Es importante resaltar que la ausencia de inestabilidad hemodinámica no debe descartar una lesión aórtica. Para su diagnóstico imagenológico se debe tener en cuenta que los rayos X de tórax no tienen el rendimiento adecuado, el patrón de referencia es la angiotomografía y el ecocardiograma transesofágico (ETE) constituye una opción diagnóstica. El manejo incluye líquidos endovenosos y antihipertensivos como medida transitoria, manejo quirúrgico definitivo y, en algunos casos, manejo expectante o diferido. Los pacientes inestables o con signos de ruptura inminente deben ser llevados de manera inmediata a cirugía. El manejo quirúrgico temprano ha impactado en la mortalidad. A pesar de los avances en las técnicas quirúrgicas, la técnica quirúrgica abierta documenta mayor tasa de mortalidad que el manejo endovascular, el cual tiene numerosas ventajas al ser poco invasivo. Esta es una revisión narrativa que destaca algunos aspectos clave sobre los mecanismos de lesión, diagnóstico y manejo inicial del trauma cerrado aorta torácica. Por último, se propone un algoritmo de abordaje de trauma de aorta.

Authors: Sani Immanuel
Published: January 2024

As modern science progresses so too must clinical neuroscience for the betterment of suffering individuals. From the inception of clinical neuroscience, scientific breakthroughs have enhanced our knowledge of how certain pathologies impair the function of the nervous system. Clinical neuroscience now plays a pivotal role when informing the scientific community about the developments in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of neurological disorders. The prevalence and morbidity associated with Fibromyalgia, Glioblastoma multiforme and, Alzheimer’s disease warrants extensive research to develop treatments that improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the financial burden on healthcare services worldwide. Significant progress has been made in clinical neuroscience within the past decade, yet with the exponential evolution of technology, researchers and clinicians must endeavour to transcend the current frontiers of knowledge on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of neurological disorders.

The sociological view of both phenomena supports the initial hypothesis being that poverty is reflected in idioms associated with a lack of money, food, clothing, loss of home, debt and livelihood, while wealth is associated with birth rights, large amounts of money, well-being and a wasteful life-style.
What is Conscience? Some Ontological Metaphors in the English-Language Aphorisms
Authors: Eldar Veremchuk Eldar Veremchuk
Published: January 2024

The paper discusses ontological metaphors with the target domain CONSCIENCE. Its research is based on the tenets and methodology of Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The analyzed material is represented by a corpus of aphorisms about conscience, obtained by the method of continuous sampling based on data from online compendiums of aphorisms. It is argued that an abstract ethical entity is conceptualized in relation to knowledge about basic concrete things from central life experience. The main conceptual metaphors for the conceptualization of the analyzed ethical concept are “Conscience is a human or God” and “Conscience is a thing”, which have elaborations and extensions in various contexts.
Semantično polje ljubezni in strahu v treh starejših in zadnjem slovenskem prevodu Pete Mojzesove knjige

The paper is the result of a comparative analysis of selected Slovenian translations of all the passages of the Book of Deuteronomy in which the semantic field of love and fear is at the forefront. The comparison includes the Hebrew original, the two most influential ancient and three older Slovenian translations of the Bible, namely the translation by Jurij Japelj (1744–1807), the unpublished translation by Matevž Ravnikar (1776–1845) and the translation by Jurij Volc in the so-called Wolfʼs Bible (1805–1885). A comparative analysis of language and style in relation to the Hebrew original, the Greek Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate reveals similarities and differences in the older three and in the latest Slovenian translation of the Bible (SPJ) in terms of the use of vocabulary, the form of parallelism and the parenetic style. The focus is on how in Deuteronomy the lexeme “love” is linked to the lexeme “fear”, which is often only apparently opposed to the concept of love. We want to know whether these two concepts are exclusive or complementary in Deuteronomy. This paper provides important insights into the cognitive and emotional content of the concepts of “love” and “fear” in the Hebrew and Slovenian translations of Deuteronomy.
Medbesedilne reference in literarni kanon v otroški in mladinski književnosti
Authors: Haramija Dragica
Published: January 2024

The article focuses on different forms of intertextuality in children’s literature. To link the intellectual elements, one needs to possess the knowledge of canonical texts. Without this, contemporary literary texts that contain such elements might not function well. Also, lack of knowledge of the source text can result in part of the story being lost. The present article demonstrates different intertextual connections on the example of selected stories involving the metamorphosis of a frog as the main literary and (apart from Lila Prap) also the title character. The source text is The Frog Prince or Iron Henry by Brothers Grimm, while the works studied are Saša Vegri’s Jure kvak kvak (George Croak, Croak), Lila Prap’s 1001 pravljica (1001 Stories), Bina Štampe Žmavc’s O žabi in princu (About a Frog and a Prince) and Andrej Rozman Roza’s O začaranem žabcu (About the Enchanted Frog).

The present paper reflects on the literary work of selected contemporary Slovenian female essayists, with special focus on their thematic and stylistic characteristics. It should be noted that not much research has been done focusing on the literary work of contemporary Slovenian female writers, although they have written and still write across a variety of genres.

This is followed by an overview of the essays by selected authors, namely the essay collections Slovenija, moja Afrika (1993) by Silvia Borovnik, Tek na mestu (2017) by Renata Salecl, Vseživo (2017) by Urša Zabukovec and Naredite Ameriko spet oblavladljivo (2018) by Katja Perat, which highlights essayist thought as well as thematic and stylistic similarities and differences.
Govor treh Bistric v Prekmurju
Authors: Zver Nina
Published: January 2024

The local speech of three Bistricas – Gornja, Srednja and Dolnja – is classified as the southern variant (or dialect variant of Dólinsko) of the Prekmurje dialect of the Pannonian dialect group, but in some respects, it is closer to the speeches of Prlekija and Medžimurje dialects than to the neighbouring speeches of Dólinsko. The material-supported paper deals with those phonological, morphological, and verbal phenomena in the local speech of the three Bistricas, which are distinctive in relation to nearby local speeches and which linguists have too often generalized to the entire Prekmurje dialect. A list of uninhabited-area names of Gornja, Srednja and Dolnja Bistrica has also been added.
Intertekstualnost in Razodetje v slovenskem prevodu Bulgakovove Bele garde
Authors: Kaloh Vid Natalia , Koletnik Mihaela
Published: January 2024

The first part of the research presents the works of one of the greatest contemporary Russian writers, Mikhail Afanisiejvich Bulgakov while further on focusing on the analysis of intertextual devices that Bulgakov uses to establish intertextual connections between his first novel The White Guard and the apocalyptic Book of Revelation in the only Slovene translation by Marjan Poljanec (1973). The numerous allusions and direct quotes from the Book of Revelation convey a special meaning attributed to the apocalyptic text in Bulgakov’s masterpiece. The present paper is interested in the extent, if there is any, to which the intertextual elements are preserved in the Slovene translation and which strategies Poljanec used to preserve them.

Authors: NORMAN Beste , ALTİPARMAK Ersin
Published: January 2024

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı takım sporlarıyla uğraşan bireylerin öfke boyutlarının ve kişilerarası ilişki tarzlarının bazı demografik özelliklere göre belirlenmesi ve bu kavramlar arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konmasıdır.

Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini seçkisiz olmayan basit örneklem yöntemi ile seçilmiş çeşitli illerden spor kulüplerinde aktif ve lisanslı 127 kadın, 157 erkek olmak üzere 284 spor yapan katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama amacıyla gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak katılımcılara kişisel bilgi formu, Sürekli Öfke ve Öfke İfade Tarzı Ölçeği (SÖÖTÖ) ve Kişilerarası İlişkiler Ölçeği (KİÖ) uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veri setinin analizlerinde yüzde, frekans , t-testi, tek yönlü varyans (anova) analizi ve Pearson Korelasyon Analizi kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Araştırma bulgularına göre yaş değişkenine göre SÖÖTÖ ve KİÖ’de anlamlı farklığın bulunmadığı, cinsiyete göre öfkeyi dışa vurma boyutunda erkeklerin kadınlara kıyasla ortalamalarının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. SÖÖTÖ spor türü değişkenine göre incelendiğinde sürekli öfke alt boyutunda hentbolcuların futbolculara kıyasla ortalamalarının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca SÖÖTÖ ve KİÖ spor yapma yılı değişkenine göre incelendiğinde anlamlı farklılıklar ortaya konmuştur.

Sonuç: Araştırmada öfkeyi dışa vurma alt boyutunda erkek ortalamalarının kadınlara göre yüksek olması içinde bulunulan toplumda yer alan erkek bireylerin öfke duygusunu sosyal çevrelerine iletme konusunda daha cesur oldukları şeklinde açıklanabilir. Araştırmanın temel amaçlarından olan SÖÖTÖ ve KİÖ ölçekleri arasında ilişkinin incelenmesi sonucunda anlamlı farkın olmadığı fakat öfkeyi içte tutma boyutu ile zehirleyici tarz boyutu arasında negatif yönlü ve çok zayıf ilişki olması sahip olduğu olumsuz duyguları içsel yönden yaşayan bireylerin diğer bireylere karşı olumsuz sözlerden kaçındıkları ve sosyal ortamlarındaki bireylerle kendilerini eşit seviyede konumlandırdıkları şeklinde açıklanabilir.
