Authors: Sutriyono Sutriyono
Published: December 2024

Red Junglefowl (RJF) is a germplasm in Bengkulu, living in forests and plantations, and its population is estimated to continue to decline. Domestication has been carried out by the community, and there has been crossbreeding with local chickens and producing offspring. The study was conducted for 4 months in Bengkulu City to identify rearing management of hen, characteristics of hen, production characteristics, and to develop development scenarios. Twenty-seven respondents were used in the study. Data were obtained through observation and interviews, and filling out questionnaires. The data collected were maintenance management of hen, population, body weight, age of first laying eggs, egg production, and egg weight. The results of the study, farmers rearing hen by caged, released, and a combination of both methods. The feed given was local feed (corn, rice, brown rice, cooked rice) and commercial feed BR 1. The maximum weight of the hen was 995.00 grams and the minimum was 600.00 grams, the average was 738.96±93.07 grams, egg production was 9.68±2.60/hen/period, egg laying period 3.42 times/year, egg weight 28.56±5.28 grams. The initial population was 90 and the final 570, the average length of raising chickens was 9.45 years, an increase of 50.77/year (56.41%). In conclusion, the development of the population of jungle fowl offspring was slow; and the values ​​of body weight, egg production, egg weight were higher than red jungle fowl and lower than native chickens. Development, genetic improvement, increasing the number of parent hens and egg hatching, and improving maintenance management.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of moringa leaf extract supplementation as a source of natural antioxidants in a complete ration based on fermented citronella oil distillation by-products on the content of crude fiber, crude fat, and nitrogen-free extract. This research used a Completely Randomized Design, five treatments, and three replications for each treatment. The treatments consisted of antioxidant supplementation with doses: of 0% (P0/control), 0.125% (P1), 0.25% (P2), 0.375% (P3), and 0.50% (P4). The variables measured included crude fiber, crude fat, and NFE content. The results of the study showed that the lowest average crude fiber content was in treatment P3 (25.43%), the lowest crude fat content was in P4 (1.88%), and the highest NFE content was in P4 (47.83%). Supplementation of moringa leaf antioxidants in fermented lemongrass waste-based rations with various doses (0%, 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.375%, 0.50%) showed no significant effect (P>0.05) on crude fiber, crude fat, and BETN content. The research concludes that supplementation of moringa leaf extract as a source of natural antioxidants showed no significant effect on crude fiber, crude fat, and NFE content

Glaciers adapt slowly to changing climatic conditions, resulting in long-term changes in their mass with implications for sea level rise and water supply, even if the climate were to stabilize. Using eight glacier evolution models, we simulate global glacier evolution over multi-centennial timescales, allowing glaciers to equilibrate with climate under various constant global temperature scenarios. We estimate glaciers globally will lose 39% of their mass, relative to 2020, corresponding to a global mean sea-level rise of 113 mm even if temperatures stabilized at present-day conditions. Under the +1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement, more than twice as much global glacier mass remains at equilibration (53% vs. 24%) compared to the mass projected under the warming level resulting from current policies (+2.7°C by 2100 above pre-industrial). Our findings stress the need for stringent mitigation policies to ensure long-term preservation of glaciers around the globe.
Potential impacts of plant pests and diseases on trees and forests in the UK
Authors: Bebber Daniel , MacLean Ilya , Mosedale Jonathan , Youngman Benjamin
Published: December 2024

Plant pests and diseases (PPDs) pose a serious threat to trees and forests globally. In the wake of the ash dieback epidemic, the UK Government instigated the UK Plant Health Risk Register (PHRR) to provide semi-quantitative estimates of invasion probability and impact on host plants for PPDs thought to pose a risk to the UK to help prioritize biosecurity activities. The PHRR currently contains 636 PPDs potentially affecting 74 tree species found in the UK. Of these, the genera Prunus, Pinus, Malus, Pyrus and Quercus have the largest number of associated PPDs. Here, we explore the implications of converting these ordinal likelihood and impact scores to quantitative estimates of invasion probabilities and losses to tree productivity, in terms of increased mortality or reduced growth, in the next 25 years. We use recent invasions, such as ash dieback and horse chestnut bleeding canker, to quantify likely losses, and generate plausible invasion probabilities from historical observations. Assuming that the expectation of loss in 25 years is the probability of invasion multiplied by the fractional loss, and that the impacts of multiple PPDs affecting the same host species are independent, we find that many tree species would suffer severe production declines under plausible invasion probability and impact estimates. Invasion probabilities and losses must be much lower than our plausible values to maintain reasonable levels of tree productivity in future. Despite several important knowledge gaps, our analysis provides a framework for projecting how trees and forests might be impacted in future and helps to highlight the risk posed by PPDs to biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Olfaction is a Spatial Sense
Authors: Barwich Ann-Sophie
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the spatial dimensions of olfactory perception, challenging philosophical views that marginalize smell in spatial navigation and cognition compared to visual phenomenology. I argue that both olfactory and visual perceptions—despite smell often being considered non-spatial or minimally spatial—involve intricate spatial structuring when processed through unconscious cognitive processes. An information- theoretical approach shows that cognitive inferences turn spatially deficient sensory data into spatialized perceptual content to generate spatial perception across sensory modalities. This challenges the idea that spatial perception is tied to external features. My argument is supported by two lines of evidence: (i) figure-ground segregation across sensory modalities, suggesting a general mechanism in perceptual processing; (ii) recent neuroscientific evidence demonstrating how spatial information is processed in olfaction for navigation and environmental mapping. My analysis calls for a reevaluation of assumptions about the non-spatial nature of smell, highlighting significant cognitive and spatial capabilities in olfaction.
Neurocognitive Underpinning of Proactive and Reactive Cognitive Control: Evidence from Eye-tracking and EEG in a Mixed-Design Flanker Study
Authors: Lotfi Salahadin
Published: December 2024

Cognitive control enables the flexible regulation of goal-directed behaviors in the presence of distractions. This study investigates proactive (PDF) and reactive distraction filtering (RDF), two distinct cognitive control mechanisms proposed by the Dual Mechanism of Control theory. Using a Flanker task with varying proportions of congruent and incongruent trials, we assessed behavioral responses, eye-gaze data, and high temporal-resolution EEG signals. Behavioral results replicated prior findings, demonstrating that PDF reduces interference in high-conflict contexts but incurs filtering costs when distractors are absent. Eye-gaze analysis revealed that PDF narrows attentional focus on targets, potentially explaining these costs. ERP data showed distinct neural correlates: N2 amplitudes indexed conflict monitoring in RDF, while frontal slow waves reflected sustained attentional control in PDF. This study provides novel insights into the behavioral, visual, and neural dynamics of cognitive control, emphasizing the temporal interplay between proactive and reactive strategies in distraction filtering.
איכות נתונים של פאנלים מקוונים בישראל: מחקר השוואתי
Authors: Confino Dan , Peer Eyal
Published: December 2024

לאור הפופולריות הגוברת של פאנלים מקוונים לגיוס משתתפים למחקרים, ישנה חשיבות מכרעת לאיכות הנתונים שהם מספקים לחוקרים. אולם, עד היום, אף מחקר לא בחן באופן שיטתי והשוואתי את איכות הנתונים בקרב פאנלים מקוונים בישראל. מטרת המחקר הנוכחי היתה לבחון את איכות הנתונים של חמישה פאנלים מרכזיים בישראל (n=1557). הערכנו את איכות הנתונים של המשתתפים באמצעות מספר מדדים מקובלים של קשב, מהימנות, ואמינות. בנוסף בחנו שתי שאלות מחקר נוספות: האם יש הבדלים באיכות הנתונים בין משיבים ממכשיר נייד לעומת מחשב. תוצאות המחקר הצביעו על מספר בעיות באיכות הנתונים שהתקבלו מחמשת הפאנלים המובילים בישראל: כמחצית מהמשתתפים, בכל הפאנלים, לא ענו נכון על שאלות פשוטות של בדיקת קשב באופן שמעיד שהם לא קראו את ההוראות לשאלות בעיון, דבר המעלה ספק לגבי התקפות של התשובות שלהם לשאלון. יתרה מזאת, משתתפים שלא ענו היטב על שאלות בדיקת הקשב גם סיפקו מהימנות נמוכה יותר בשאלונים וגם ייתכן ורימו יותר בשאלות של דיווח עצמי במטרה לזכות בתגמול כספי גבוה יותר. השילוב של מענה ממכשיר נייד וכישלון בבדיקות הקשב הוביל לרוב לאיכות הנתונים הנמוכה ביותר ונראה כי שאלות בדיקת הקשב חשובות ויעילות במיוחד לסינון תגובות באיכות נמוכה בקרב משיבים ממכשירים ניידים.

Lexical variables such as iconicity or age of acquisition are known to be important sources ofvariance in psycholinguistic experiments. To control for such variables, researchers workingon German Sign Language (DGS) need to use stimuli rated for these constructs (e.g.,iconicity) by an independent group of participants before implementing their actualexperiment. Up to now, several research groups have made such rating data publiclyavailable but a central resource is currently still lacking. Against this background, this shortpaper provides a roadmap for the collaborative creation of a so-called “DGS-LEX”, a lexicaldatabase for psycholinguistic research on DGS, similar to ASL-LEX. By integrating relevantdata from different published and forthcoming studies, this joint effort aims to establish anew database for lexical variables in DGS primarily based upon subjective ratings.

Modern approaches to the therapy of schizophrenia with atypical neuroleptics (based on clinical observations)
Authors: Samoylov D. D. , Barylnik J. B.
Published: December 2024

According to the lack of sufficient scientific data on the ratio, severity, and clinical pathomorphism of positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia, a more detailed research of this issue is required. The ratio of positive and negative disorders in the structure of schizophrenia spectrum disorders is different in each specific case.It is known that problems associated with the formation of stable remission in schizophrenia significantly affect the functional well-being, quality and life expectancy of patients. To ensure comprehensive, effective and safe treatment of patients with schizophrenia antipsychotic drugs with a broad spectrum of action are needed. Cariprazine is one of the more effective antipsychotics, both in relation to positive symptoms and in relation to negative and cognitive symptoms.This paper presents a number of clinical observations that demonstrate the efficacy of the third-generation neuroleptic cariprazine as a potent antipsychotic drug with a favorable safety profile, providing high adherence to therapy and successfully used both in patients with the first psychotic episode and in patients with a disorder duration of more than five years. Also, the complex therapy schemes with psychosocial rehabilitation measures in the inpatient and outpatient departments of the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Center, located on the basis of the Regional Clinical Psychiatric Hospital, are described in detail.

Published: December 2024

Hyperkinetic disorder (HD) refers to chronic non-processual diseases, including among the main symptoms impaired attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity, and corresponds to a mixed version of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Currently, the etiology of HD is considered as a polyetiological concept, since the formation of any chronic disorder involves, first of all, biological factors, including hereditary mechanisms, nonspecific “trigger” factors and factors of early brain damage that “support” the course of the diseaseand ensuring the uniqueness of each clinical case.The cause of HD is a genetically determined pathogenetic mechanism realized by the dysfunction of monoamine systems, in most cases complicated by minimal residual organic lesions of the central nervous system. In this case, a close connection is established between the clinical manifestations of the disorder in question and the biochemical imbalance of monoamine systems, creating a picture of the clinical and biochemical heterogeneity of the main symptoms of a hyperkinetic disorder. Hyperkinetic disorder is characterized by both clinical and biochemical heterogeneity and is determined by a number of etiological factors that create a variety of manifestations not only of the disease itself, but also of its comorbid conditions, which largely determines the direction of rehabilitation measures. Under these conditions, the specific weight of each factor at different stages of the disease depends on a number of exogenous situations.It is logical in this light, according to the current prevailing view, that GH symptoms are viewed as multidimensional traits due to the concerted action of many common and rare genetic variants in interaction with multiple environmental factors.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to develop a predictive model of the relationship between the duration of “psychiatrist-avoidant behavior” and clinical and psychological parameters in patients with somatization disorders. The objectives were to designate the clinical characteristics of somatization disorders, study the level of alexithymia, personal anxiety and self-stigmatization in patients with somatization disorders with different durations of the period before contacting a psychiatrist, and develop a predictive equation that allows, based on the relationship of the studied parameters, to predict the duration of “psychiatrist-avoidant behavior.” Materials and methods. In 2019-2022, on the basis of the Kursk Clinical Psychiatric Hospital named after. Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon» (day psychiatric hospital of the dispensary department), 274 patients with somatization disorders (F 45.0) who applied for psychiatric help for the first time were examined. The main research group included 176 patients with somatization disorders who had not consulted a psychiatrist for a long time (from 2 to 6 years). The control group consisted of 108 patients with somatization disorders who came for an appointment in a relatively short period (within 1 year). Methods: clinicalpsychopathological, clinical-dynamic, psychological (D. Taylor’s personal anxiety questionnaire, alexithymia scale, I.O. Mikhailova’s method for studying self-stigma), statistical method (Fisher’s angular transformation test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson’s χ2 test, multiple linear regression, Forward Stepwise method). As a result of the discovered relationships, taking into account the level of personal anxiety, alexithymia and selfstigmatization, as well as the clinical variety and type of somatization disorder, a prognostic equation was developed to determine the duration of non-core visits to psychiatric help. Conclusion. The introduction of this forecasting method in primary health care institutions will contribute to early diagnosis and timely routing of patients with somatization disorders.

Craving is one of the central symptoms of alcohol use disorder. Currently, there is no single accepted definition, model, or standardized approach to assessing craving for alcohol use, but the phenomenon is extensively studied in the field of addiction research. The Obsessive-Compulsive Drinking Scale was developed based on the hypothesis that both obsessive-compulsive disorder and alcohol use disorder have similar symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure as well as the convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity of the Obsessive-Compulsive Drinking Scale. 222 patients with Alcohol Use Disorder undergoing inpatient treatment (163 men (73,42%), average age 42,67±10,06 years old, average age of the onset of alcohol use disorder 32,19±8,57 years old) were recruited for the study. The following methods were used: clinical interview, Obsessive-Compulsive Drinking Scale, Penn Alcohol Craving Scale, Motivation for Alcohol Consumption, and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale. The results of the study confirmed two-factor structure of the scale; however, the goodness-of-fit indices slightly differed from acceptable cut-off values. The scale had acceptable internal consistency and convergent validity. Discriminant validity was moderate. The analysis of criterion validity revealed a negative correlation between the factor “Compulsions” and age of the first alcohol drink, start of the regular alcohol use, and age of the first inpatient treatment for alcohol use disorder. Participants with daily use had significantly higher scores on both factors compared to the participants with heavy drinking episodes.

Published: December 2024

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a significant risk factor for the development of mental disorders in adulthood, and their accurate assessment using the ACE-IQ questionnaire in psychiatric practice requires consideration of several methodological specifics. Objective: To analyze the application of the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) for assessing ACEs in patients with mental disorders, and to examine potential limitations and methodological aspects of working with this instrument. Material and Methods: A literature review was conducted on the topic of ACEs and their association with mental disorders in adulthood. The structure of the ACE-IQ questionnaire and the specifics of its application in psychiatric practice were examined. Results: The Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) is a convenient and informative instrument for the systematic assessment of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Patients with psychiatric disorders represent a complex and heterogeneous population, for whom many of the topics in the questionnaire may be challenging and potentially traumatic to answer. Moreover, there is a high likelihood of distortion of facts and appraisals by the patient regarding their ACEs within the context of their current mental disorder and its phase. To obtain accurate results when utilizing the ACE-IQ with psychiatric patients, establishing a trusting therapeutic alliance is essential. The clinician should be prepared to monitor changes in the patient’s mental state throughout the questionnaire administration, and the involvement of a clinical psychologist is advisable. Detailed clarification of individual questions and terminology in the questionnaire is crucial, taking into account the patient’s sociocultural background. Interpretation of the ACE-IQ results warrants caution due to the potential distortion of facts by the patient within the framework of their present psychiatric condition. Conclusion: The ACE-IQ questionnaire is a valuable tool for assessing adverse childhood experiences; however, its application in psychiatric practice requires consideration of several methodological specifics. The correct use of the questionnaire will allow obtaining reliable data on the relationship between ACEs and mental disorders, which is important for understanding the role of social factors in the etiology of mental illnesses and the development of preventive programs.

Published: December 2024

Physical fitness (PF) is an exceptional indicator of health in childhood and prevents chronic conditions in adulthood. Various exercise modalities have been studied for their impact on children's PF, but rhythmic-based exercises have received less attention. Hence, we structured the rhythmic-based exercise program to provide an approach to developing children's PF over ten months. The non-randomized pre-post-controlled 2x2 design included 154 children (REG, rhythmic-based exercise group, n=75, CG, control group, n=79). We assessed PF performance using the modified 20 m shuttle run test, the standing long jump, the 30-second sit-up test, and the sit-and-reach test before and after 10 months of rhythmic-based exercise program. The 2x2 mixed ANCOVA showed that all PF test performances improved significantly more in REG than in CG from a small (Standing long jump for 3%), across medium (Sit-ups for the 30s for 12%), to a large extent (Modified 20 m shuttle run test for 14% and Sit and reach for 23.1%). The rhythmic-based exercise program provoked extensive flexibility and overall muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness developments. Further randomized controlled trials should be conducted to support or contrast our results.

Published: December 2024

The city of Guelma has experienced remarkable urban sprawl over the last few decades, with a continuous expansion of the urban area to accommodate a growing population. This phenomenon is particularly accentuated by a high demographic growth rate, which increases the pressure on infrastructure and basic services, especially drinking water supply, due to the increasing needs of households. The main objective of this study is to analyse the contribution of the WEAP model to the management of drinking water supply in the different sectors of the city of Guelma. This approach aims to ensure effective and sustainable planning of water resources to meet the growing needs of the population in each sector, while preserving this essential resource. The results show that water resources are limited, with projected consumption increasing from 6 million m³ in 2008 to around 47 million m³ in 2050, while the population is expected to reach almost 800,000 inhabitants. All scenarios show a water deficit, where demand exceeds supply. The study therefore emphasises the need for integrated water resource management to ensure sustainability. It uses hydrological and demographic data to guide supply decisions and aims to develop effective strategies to address the growing water challenges in the city of Guelma.

Authors: Nour El Houda Bouchefirat  , Djamel Dekoumi
Published: December 2024

Coastlines are closely linked to the development of civilizations, as essential places for anchoring commercial and military activities, and for innovation in the forms and techniques of appropriation of the sea, which has produced throughout history a stratification of maritime heritage in the coastal area, today threatened with degradation and disappearance mainly due to natural and climatic conditions and the accelerated urbanization of the coastline, at a time when this heritage can constitute a powerful lever for revitalizing the waterfronts. The historic port of Algiers, the subject of this research, bears witness to a great historical and typological wealth in terms of maritime heritage. Being an integral part of the major regeneration project of the Bay of Algiers, major socio-cultural and economic issues are linked to the choice of the degree of protection of the site's buildings. The objective of this research is to propose a participatory and sustainable approach for the classification of maritime legacies according to their type of protection in the urban regeneration process of the waterfront of the Bay of Algiers, in order to identify development strategies that respect both the spirit of the place and allow the social and economic development of the urban space. To achieve the objective, the Delphi method. This made it possible to structure the evaluation tool and weight the criteria. The established tool is composed of 24 criteria classified according to 5 aspects; architectural quality, historical interest, social role, economic impact and state of conservation. The approach chosen in this study has the advantage of being global, transferable and adaptable to similar decision-making contexts.

ابن تيمية أحد الأعلام الكبار في مجال العلوم النقلية والعقلية حيث جدد المنهج الأثري السلفي في مواجهة التيارات الكلامية والفلسفية، ومن أعظم إنتاجه، مصنفه في الجمع بين النقل والعقل المسمى بـــ (درء تعارض العقل والنقل)، حيث نقض القانون الكلي الذي اعتمد عليه المتكلمين في قضية الجمع بين النقل والعقل وأتي بأصول راسخة وقواعد متينة، أعلى من خلالها منزلة الوحي ولا يفرّط في اعتبار العقل وحجيته، وأكد على الموافقة التامة بين الوحي الصحيح للعقل الصريح. وقد صارت في عصرنا الحاضر قضية العلاقة بين الوحي والعلم التجريبي الحديث مثارا أساسيا للنقاشات والجدالات واستخدم عدد من علماء المسلمين القانون الكلي للمتكلمين في وضع الضوابط لهذه العلاقة، ولكن أثر هذا العمل سلبا في بعض القضايا الأصولية في الإسلام من خلال التأويلات للنصوص. وهذا الأثر هو الذي بعينه كان باعثا لابن تيمية في نقض القانون الكلي ذلك، فمن الضروري إذن أن نعتبر منهجه في وضع تلك الضوابط للعلاقة بين الوحي والعلم. يهدف الباحث في هذا البحث للكشف عن انتقادات ابن تيمية للقانون الكلي وما بناه بديلا لذلك القانون ومن ثم تطبيقه لإيجاد الضوابط المنظمة للعلاقة بين الوحي والعلم. واستخدم الباحث المنهج الوصفي من خلال القيام بتحليل ما كتبه ابن تيمية في كتابه (درء تعارض العقل والنقل). وجد الباحث أن ما قام به ابن تيمية هو البديل الأمثل لهذه القضية ويمكن من خلاله درء التعارض بين الوحي والعلم. هذا البحث لا ريب يفيد الباحثين خصوصا والمسلمين عموما في حل هذه المعضلة العصرية ويساهم في توجيه بناء الحضارة الفكرية الإسلامية المعاصرة

Dokonane zostanie rozróżnienie między cudami, które wydarzyły się za życia świętego lub po jego śmierci, oraz między cudami, w których rośliny i zwierzęta są przedmiotami lub podmiotami cudu, lub obydwoma jednocześnie.
Piękno świata stworzonego według św. Augustyna
Authors: Jaśkiewicz Sylwester
Published: December 2024

Piękno świata stworzonego przez św. Augustyna zostało znacząco uwydatnione, zwłaszcza poprzez inspiracje płynące z filozofii i egzegezy biblijnej. Biskup Hippony był głęboko przekonany o pięknie (pulchritudo, pulchrum, species) świata widzialnego. Do podstawowych elementów budowy każdego bytu, a więc i jego piękna, należą: liczba (numerus), miara (mensura), waga (pondus) i porządek (ordo). Piękno świata stworzonego to piękno, które obejmuje świat widzialny, człowieka i aniołów. Zarówno wszystkie stworzenia, jak i każde z nich z osobna i w całej swojej różnorodności są pieśnią chwały ku czci Boga Stwórcy, Najwyższego Dobra i Piękna, który jest wielkim Artystą (artifex magnus).
Węże-syreny św. Izydora z Sewilli. Problem atrybucji nazwy
Authors: Morta Krzysztof
Published: December 2024

Tematem artykułu jest kwestia nazwy latających węży Arabii, które wg świadectwa Izydora z Sewilli miały być nazywane Syrenami. Opowieści o uskrzydlonych wężach miały wielowiekową tradycję przed Izydorem w literaturze greckiej i łacińskiej; pojawiły się już w V w. przed Chr. za sprawą Herodota (Dzieje II 75-76). Jednak ich określenie jako Syreny zostaje poświadczone po raz pierwszy dopiero w Etymologiach XIV 3,7 biskupa Sewilli. Autor artykułu śledzi zachowane informacje zarówno u autorów pogańskich, jak i chrześcijańskich, starając się odpowiedzieć, co było źródłem tej informacji Izydora. W rezultacie tych eksploracji wskazuje na pewną zagadkową wzmiankę w Komentarzu do Księgi Izajasza św. Hieronima. Po jej analizie w oparciu o inne teksty Hieronima autor wyjaśnia, w jaki sposób nazwa Syren, pierwotnie niezwiązana z opowieścią o skrzydlatych wężach Arabii została przez Izydora włączona do ich opisu.
Zwierzęta w interpretacji symbolicznej "Formulae spiritalis intellegentiae" Eucheriusza z Lyonu
Authors: Skibiński Tomasz
Published: December 2024

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza interpretacji symbolicznej zwierząt, jaką Eucheriusz z Lyonu zawarł w swoim dziele Formulae spiritalis intellegenatiae. Zostało podjęte zagadnienie zainteresowań i wiedzy Eucheriusza na polu interpretacji symbolicznej zwierząt, wykorzystanych przez niego źródeł a także samej treści interpretacji. Podstawowe źródło badań to określone w temacie Formulae spiritalis intellegentiae, które jest skonfrontowane przede wszystkim z drugim dziełem egzegetycznym – Instructiones. Badania ukazują, że Eucheriusza ma zasadniczo dobrą wiedzę o zwierzętach biblijnych, którą zawdzięcza w dużej mierze wykorzystanym źródłom. Jego interpretacja podejmuje kilka zasadniczych tematów: są to zagadnienia teologiczne, według których autor interpretuje zwierzęta jako symbole Chrystusa Ducha Świętego, albo przeciwnie, diabła (demonów, bożków). Częste są także interpretacje antropologiczne, w których zwierzęta są symbolami ludzi ocenianych pozytywnie lub negatywnie ze względów moralnych lub doktrynalnych. Zwierzęta mogą także symbolizować Pismo Święte i rodzaje jego interpretacji. Adresami dzieł Eucheriusza są jego synowie Saloniusz i Weraniusz, późniejsi biskupi. Dzieła były też przeznaczone dla szerszego grona odbiorów, i jest w nich widoczne, że Eucheriusz zakładał u czytelników pewną biegłość i znajomość Pisma św. oraz jego interpretacji i nie widział konieczności podawania zbyt szczegółowych i fundamentalnych wyjaśnień.
Stworzenie świata flory (Rdz 1,11-12) w egzegezie wybranych wczesnochrześcijańskich pisarzy greckich (do końca III wieku)
Authors: Szczur Piotr
Published: December 2024

Celem badawczym artykułu jest przedstawienie i przeanalizowanie patrystycznej interpretacji stworzenia świata flory (Rdz 1,11-12), aby ukazać, jak pisarze wczesnochrześcijańscy rozumieli opis biblijny. Badania zostały ograniczone do pisarzy greckich działających do końca III w. Najpierw ukazano jak pisarze wczesnochrześcijańscy rozumieli przekaz biblijny na temat sześciu dni stworzenia. Następnie szczegółowo przeanalizowano wypowiedzi na temat biblijnego opisu stworzenia flory czterech pisarzy wczesnochrześcijańskich: Teofila Antiocheńskiego, anonimowego autora gnostyckiego traktatu De origine mundi, Orygenesa i Pseudo-Klemensa. Z analiz wynika, że myśliciele ci chcieli zaprezentować chrześcijańską wizję powstania świata. Podkreślali, że Bóg jest jedyną przyczyną sprawczą powstania świata, oraz że nadał stworzonemu światu określony kształt i cel istnienia. Cały świat został przez Boga powołany do istnienia ze względu na człowieka, aby ludzie mogli używać tego wszystkiego, co zostało stworzone oraz, aby mogli odczytać ślady obecności Boga w świecie. Myśliciele ci ukazywali bogactwo stworzonych przez Boga elementów świata flory, ich porządek, złożoność i piękno. W ich przekonaniu stworzony przez Boga świat flory jest pewnego rodzaju „pośrednikiem” w komunikacji między Bogiem a człowiekiem. Analizowane wypowiedzi myślicieli greckich wskazują na antropocentryczne ukierunkowanie ich rozważań na temat stworzenia świata, chociaż sam tekst biblijny ma charakter kosmocentryczny.
Elementa as a Subject of Discussion with Heresies in Philastrius of Brescia’s "Diversarum hereseon liber"
Authors: Szram Mariusz
Published: December 2024

Problemem badawczym jest ustalenie pola semantycznego terminu elementa w jednym z najstarszych łacińskich katalogów herezji – Diversarum hereseon liber Filastriusza (po 381 r.) oraz ukazanie łączących się z tym pojęciem kwestii filozoficzno-teologicznych, wokół których we wczesnym chrześcijaństwie toczyła się dyskusja, znajdująca odzwierciedlenie w dziele Biskupa Brescii. Analiza tekstu źródłowego prowadzi do następujących wniosków: 1) termin elementum występuje w traktacie w liczbie mnogiej w kontekście kosmologicznym, zarówno w ogólnym znaczeniu składników świata, jak i w szczegółowym znaczeniu czterech żywiołów; 2) w poglądach heretyków przeważają znaczenia inspirowane różnymi nurtami antycznej filozofii, natomiast dla Filastriusza głównym wyznacznikiem treści pojęcia elementa jest przekaz biblijny; 3) zasadnicze tematy poruszane za pomocą tego terminu oscylują wokół protologii i eschatologii, i są wywołane przez idee, które Filastriusz uznaje za heretyckie, np. poglądy uznające elementy za byty rozumne, albo przekonania o niezmienności i wiecznym trwaniu elementów lub o ich ostatecznym zaniku; 4) wśród herezji kosmologicznych krytykowanych przez Filastriusza dominują ruchy gnostyckie oraz nieznane z nazwy ugrupowania oddające poszczególnym elementom cześć boską; 5) przeciwstawiane tym poglądom stanowisko Biskupa Brescii charakteryzuje: wierność wobec rozumianych literalnie opisów stworzenia z Księgi Rodzaju; przekonanie, że elementa dotyczą wyłącznie rzeczywistości materialnej i mają związek ze światem stworzonym; pozbawione spirytualistycznej skrajności podejście do losu elementów po końcu obecnego świata, zakładające ich dalsze trwanie, ale w zmienionej formie.

THE EFFECT OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNİNG ACTİVİTİES ON SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' AWARENESS OF BİODİVERSİTY
Authors: Dadlı Güzide , Ural Evrim
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, when local and global environmental problems are increasing, it is seen that human activities mainly cause environmental problems. Undoubtedly, the most effective way to solve these problems is environmental education, which aims to raise people's awareness. Within the scope of the study, the aim was to raise students' awareness about biodiversity by using the PBL method. In the 7th grade "Human and Environmental Relations" unit, the case study design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used to determine the effect of problem-based learning activities on students' understanding of biodiversity and its importance. Ten 7th-grade students participated in the study. The data of the study were obtained from the answers given by the students to the semi-structured interview questions in the fourth and fifth sections of the Environmental Awareness Interview Form. Content analysis was used to analyze the research data. As a result of the research, it was observed that the experimental group students, in which problem-based learning activities were carried out, had a higher awareness of not only interspecies biodiversity but also intraspecies biodiversity compared to the control group. In addition, it was determined that the experimental group students could evaluate the effects of the decrease in species diversity from multiple perspectives. In contrast, the control group students' perspectives on the subject were more limited. According to these results, deeper learning occurred in the experimental group students than in the control group.

It was aimed to compare the social-emotional competence and play behaviors of preschool children who did and did not experience the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes in this study. There are two study groups in the research. The first study group consists of 114 children aged 5-6 years who witnessed the 6 February Kahramanmaraş earthquake, who reside in Adıyaman province, who attend preschool education, and who lack any special education diagnosis. The second study group consists of 87 children aged 5-6 years who have never witnessed an earthquake, who reside in Sinop province, attend preschool education, and who lack any special education diagnosis. According to the research findings, empathy, emotion recognition/emotion expression, self-regulation, social competence, and social play score averages of five- and six-year-old children who have and don’t have an earthquake experience show a significant difference in favor of children who don’t have an earthquake experience. On the other hand, concerning the earthquake experience of children, while there is a difference between groups in one of the five play types (social play), there is no difference in the remaining four play types (solitary passive play, reticent play, solitary active play, and rough play).
On the finiteness of some p-divisible sets
Authors: Altuntaş Çağatay
Published: December 2024

For any positive integer $n$, let $H_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ harmonic number. Given a prime number $p$, it is not known whether the set of integers $J(p) = \{n \in \mathbb{N} : p \mid H_n \} $ is finite. In this paper, we first investigate a variant of this set, namely, we work on the divisibility properties of the differences of harmonic numbers. For any prime $p$ and a positive integer $w$, we define the set $D(p,w)$ as $\{n \in \mathbb{N} : p \mid H_n - H_w \}$ and work on the structure of this set. We present some finiteness results on $D(p,w)$ and obtain upper bounds for the number of elements in the set. Next, we consider the differences of generalized harmonic numbers and present an upper bound for the corresponding counting function. Moreover, under some plausible conditions, we prove that the difference set of generalized harmonic numbers is finite. Finally, we point out some directions to pursue.
