Mahābhārata destanının Svargarohana Parvan bölümünde bahsi geçen cennet ve cehennem betimlemeleri, Hindu mitolojisinin zengin ve karmaşık dokusunda yer alan ölüm sonrası inançları ve yaşam biçimleri üzerindeki düşünce sistemini yansıtması bakımından önemli bir yere sahiptir. Destanın önemli karakterlerinden olan Yudhishthira’nın manevi sınavı ve bu sınavın sonucunda cennete yükselişi, ilgili bölümde detaylı bir şekilde yer verilmektedir. Bu sınavın öğretileri aracılığıyla insan yaşamını, etik sorumlulukları ve kurtuluş arayışını anlamak isteyen okuyuculara dini ve felsefi bir perspektif sunmaktadır. Bu sebeple makalede sadece Yudhishthira’nın ve diğerlerinin ölümünden sonraki yaşamları konu edilmiştir. Yudhishthira öldükten sonra karşılaştığı etik ve felsefi sorular, Hinduizm’in yaşam felsefesi ve ahlaki değerler üzerinde derinlemesine düşündürücüdür ve Hinduizm’de yer alan reenkarnasyon ve karma inanışlarına olan bağlılığa da işaret etmektedir. Karakterler öldükten sonra hem cennete hem de cehenneme gitmeleri Hindu inanış biçiminde ikilem yaratmaktadır. Hinduizm’e göre bu kavramlar kalıcı ve sonsuz değil, geçici duraklar olarak düşünülmektedir. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada Hinduizm’in ahlaki ikilemlerini inceler. Mahābhārata’nın bu önemli bölümünün Hindu mitolojisi ve felsefesi üzerindeki etkilerini kapsar ve okuyuculara bu kadim metni anlamak için fırsat sunmaktadır.

This paper focuses on comparing reproducible methodologies to map an investor risk profile into portfolios, products, and solutions in a suitable manner. This study is premised on the assumption that financial advisors have access to valid measures of an individual’s tolerance to take investment risk or aggregate investor risk profile, and measures of the riskiness of products and portfolios of products. We compared three methodologies from the academic literature or regulators against investment alternatives we constructed. The alternatives were a range of 14 efficient portfolios using long-term indices in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Seven were based on an equal distribution of risk (i.e., the standard deviation increased equally between the seven portfolios), and seven portfolios where the percentage return of each portfolio increased by the same amount between each portfolio. The portfolios distributed by risk were discarded in favour of those distributed by return, and these were then mapped to determine the risk level of the investor they were considered suitable for based on the three methodologies. It was determined that (a) behavioural expectation and exposure to equities is a valid heuristic but insufficient to scale to the wide variety of portfolios and products, use of leverage, and other factors in the marketplace; (b) rolling standard deviation measures can lead to significantly understated assessments of risk in some periods; and (c) the VaR calculation is recognized in multiple sources as the preferred methodology to align investor concerns of drop in the value of their portfolio to the actual products, but like standard deviation, it is highly impacted by the period utilized. After altering two methodologies (i.e., MIFiD-II and RiskCAT) based on altered duration of data and scaling, respectively, we found that the four methodologies tested agreed with less than one risk band variance and an average correlation of 0.95 to 0.97.
The Big Five Personality Traits (OCEAN) and Financial Planning
Authors: Campbell William , Exley James , Doyle Patrick
Published: December 2023

Financial planning has moved beyond a purely economic model and now incorporates aspects of behavioral economics and counseling psychology to better serve clients. In this review, we suggest that personality psychology, particularly the Big Five or OCEAN model of general personality might also be useful in financial planning. Financial planners are well aware that different clients with different personalities bring different opportunities and challenges into the planning session, but planners might benefit from a more formal understanding of client personality. To this end, we describe the Big Five traits – Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism or OCEAN – and the basic personality science surrounding them. We next examine how each of the OCEAN traits is associated with key financial outcomes including: income, net-worth or wealth, financial literacy, financial risk tolerance, and financial happiness. We discuss profiles of the Big Five traits, including Resilient, Under controlled, and Over controlled profiles. Finally, we discuss some potential benefits for of incorporating personality science into financial planning research and practice.

لا جرمَ أنَّ إشكالية الفهم قديمة قدمَ الإنسان نفسه، وأن العقل البشري المبدع متنوعٌ بالفطرة ومتفاوت بالقدرة، ومن ثمَّ يختلف الفهم ويتنوَّع ويتفاوت، وليست هذه الإشكالية بمعزلٍ عن الحديث النبوي الشريف بيانِ القرآن وثاني المصدرين في الإسلام، بل تشتبك معه في قضيّتيه الكبريين: إثبات الحديث تصحيحاً وتضعيفاً، والإفادة من متنِه معنىً وتوظيفاً. ولم يألُ العلماء جهداً في نقل الحديث وتحريره واستيعاب معانيه والاستنباط منه، لكن الواقع أظهر فروقاً في وجهات النظر سواء في تحقيق العائديَّة أي التأكُّد من صحَّته وصحة نسبته لقائله، أو في المعنى المفهوم من المتن. مما يقتضي توجيه البحث إلى مشكلة الفهم وتحرير جوهرها والعوامل المؤثرة بها، فمن العلماء من يتَّخذ نظام السند والمتن محوراً ينطلق منه في عملية الفهم، ومنهم من يتَّخذ العقل مركزاً ويقدِّمه على نظام دراسة السند والمتن، وكلا الفريقين يتأثر بالضرورة بما رَبي عليه من بيئة ومعارف أوَّلية تشكل له دائرة الفهم المسبق. وأطروحةُ المؤلف هنا تدور حول إشكالية فهم الأحاديث، ماهيَّتها، والعوامل المؤثرة بها، وتجليَّاتها في الحكم على الأحاديث. وطرحُه الأخصُّ رصدُ تأثير المعرفة المسبقة والفهم المسبق والأحكام المسبقة في فهم الحديث على مستوى التثبُّت الذي هو تحقيق نسبته إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وصحته، وعلى مستوى المعنى المراد من المتن والتوظيف اللائق به.

Published: December 2023

A necessidade de integrar as tecnologias de informação e de comunicação no ensino tornou-se particularmente evidente durante o período de pandemia, durante o qual o ensino presencial teve de dar lugar ao ensino a distância. Mesmo após o (tímido) regresso ao ensino presencial, muitos alunos mantiveram um ensino a distância por razões de quarentena dos próprios ou dos professores. No período pós-pandemia, foram várias as vozes que afirmaram que a escola tinha mudado, que nada iria ser como dantes, até porque o tempo em que vivemos – e, principalmente, o tempo que os alunos atuais viverão – será cada vez mais virtual e exigente em termos de competências de literacia digital. No entanto, o que se constata é que, na realidade, a oportunidade de mudança parece estar a ser desperdiçada e, com o regresso definitivo ao ensino presencial, as TIC voltaram a ser relegadas para um plano completamente secundário na maioria das nossas escolas, com especial relevância no 1.º ciclo do Ensino Básico.

Urgensi Perlindungan Hukum terhadap Biodiversitas Indonesia dari Praktik Biopiracy
Authors: Astuti Yunni Widhi
Published: December 2023

Indonesia, as host to more than 17,000 islands with a biodiversity involving approximately 10% of global flowering plants, 12% of mammals, and 17% of reptiles, amphibians and birds, faces significant risks of biopiracy. This wealth is not only limited to land, but also involves the ocean which has no less important biological riches. Biopiracy or biocolonialism, the illegal practice of accessing and exploiting a country's biological wealth, causes immediate and long-term economic losses. This research uses the Nagoya Protocol as an international legal framework that regulates access and sharing of benefits from biodiversity. The results of the discussion highlight the importance of implementing the Nagoya Protocol in Indonesian national law, especially in the context of law number 11 of 2013. Even though it has been ratified, the continuation of the Nagoya Protocol norms in Indonesian national law requires more detailed and comprehensive legislation. The conclusions of this research emphasize the urgent need for national legislation that can transform the norms of the Nagoya Protocol into a stronger legal framework. In addition, this article provides suggestions for strengthening regulations to protect Indonesia's biological wealth from detrimental biopiracy practices. These conclusions form the basis for further expansion and improvement in the legal framework aimed at effectively protecting Indonesia's biodiversity.Indonesia, sebagai tuan rumah bagi lebih dari 17.000 pulau dengan keanekaragaman hayati yang melibatkan sekitar 10% tumbuhan berbunga global, 12% mamalia, dan 17% reptil, amfibi, dan burung, menghadapi risiko biopiracy yang signifikan. Kekayaan ini tidak hanya terbatas pada daratan, melainkan juga melibatkan lautan yang memiliki kekayaan biologis tak kalah penting. Biopiracy atau biocolonialism, praktik ilegal mengakses dan memanfaatkan kekayaan hayati suatu negara, menyebabkan kerugian ekonomi langsung dan jangka panjang. Penelitian ini menggunakan Nagoya Protocol sebagai kerangka hukum internasional yang mengatur akses dan pembagian keuntungan dari biodiversitas. Hasil pembahasan menyoroti pentingnya implementasi Nagoya Protocol dalam hukum nasional Indonesia, khususnya dalam konteks undang-undang nomor 11 tahun 2013. Meskipun telah meratifikasi, keberlanjutan norma-norma Nagoya Protocol dalam hukum nasional Indonesia memerlukan undang-undang yang lebih rinci dan komprehensif. Simpulan dari penelitian ini menegaskan kebutuhan mendesak akan undang-undang nasional yang dapat mentransformasikan norma-norma Nagoya Protocol ke dalam kerangka hukum yang lebih kuat. Selain itu, artikel ini memberikan saran untuk memperkuat regulasi guna melindungi kekayaan hayati Indonesia dari praktik biopiracy yang merugikan. Kesimpulan tersebut menjadi dasar untuk perluasan dan perbaikan lebih lanjut dalam kerangka hukum yang bertujuan melindungi biodiversitas Indonesia secara efektif.

Authors: Gómez López Romina Valeria
Published: December 2023

En este trabajo se aborda el impacto de la crisis sanitaria por Covid-19 en Chile, que llevó a un cambio significativo en la modalidad de enseñanza, pasando de la presencialidad a la virtualidad en Instituciones de Educación Superior. El análisis releva las desigualdades sociales en el sistema educativo chileno y la limitada preparación de universidades y docentes para abordar la virtualidad en la educación. Desde una perspectiva sistémica y de reflexión pedagógica, se subraya que los resultados en el proceso formativo virtual durante la pandemia no se limitan únicamente a la posesión de dispositivos tecnológicos por parte de los estudiantes, sino, que el análisis implica la consideración de la gestión del cambio de las Instituciones de Educación Superior y las habilidades pedagógico-tecnológicas de los docentes y tecnológicas de aprendizaje de los estudiantes, las que a su vez influyen en la creación de un entorno relacional propicio para los aprendizajes. Asimismo, se destaca la necesidad de reflexión pedagógica frente al concepto de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación para transitar al de Tecnologías de Conocimiento y Aprendizaje para la profesionalización del quehacer universitario.

Solieria robusta is a red seaweed consumed widely by the local population in the southern Philippines. However, current information regarding its proximate composition, trace and macro element, and heavy metal content is lacking. This study marks the first attempt in the Philippines to ascertain the proximate composition, trace and macro element, and heavy metal content of edible seaweed S. robusta. Our findings revealed that S. robusta primarily consists of ash content, measuring 44.30 ± 0.4 g/100 g, followed by carbohydrates at 32.96 ± 0.45 g/100 g. The moisture content of dried S. robusta was 16.91±0.04 g/100 g. The crude protein content of this edible seaweed was determined to be 5.61 ± 0.05 g/100 g, with total fat noted at 0.22 ± 0.01 g/100 g. The average concentration of trace elements (Zn, Fe, Mg, and Cu), macro element (K), and heavy metals (Pb and Cd) followed the order of Zn > Fe > K > Mg > Pb > Cu > Cd. Notably, three essential minerals -Zn, Fe, and K- were present in significant quantities in S. robusta, with concentrations of 219±8.70, 209±5.75, and 9.83±0.22 mg/kg, respectively. However, one trace element, Zn, and one heavy metal, Pb, exceeded the permissible values, and the rest were within the safe limits. This study constitutes a significant contribution to the comprehension of the nutritional profile and mineral composition of S. robusta, emphasizing its potential as a valuable dietary resource.
Electrophoretic Methods for Identifying the Species of Seafood and Its Derivatives

Published: December 2023

The identification of the species of seafood and their products, whether they are fresh or cooked, is one of the key concerns of food regulations in many countries that have a significant intake of seafood. In point of fact, a commercial fraud happens when a species that is less value is intentionally substituted for a species that is more valuable, and a sanitary fraud takes place when a product that is potentially harmful is introduced into the market. A primary responsibility of veterinary inspection of seafood products is the detection of harmful species with the aim of removing them from the retail trade (Council Directive 91/493/ECC). Two efficient methods for seafood species identification are molecular biology methods and protein electrophoresis. Classic electrophoretic methods have been used for a long time to authenticate seafood; they are simple, accurate, and inexpensive compared to molecular biological methods, which are the wave of the future in food safety labs. The purpose of this article is to offer an overview of the electrophoretic methods commonly used to identify different species of seafood, including sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE), native or urea-isoelectric focusing electrophoresis (IEF), two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), and capillary electrophoresis (CE).

Inflammation and oxidative stress are critical factors leading to sepsis-induced severe lung injury (ALI). This study investigates the regulatory effects of Etanercept (ENT) in an animal model of sepsis-induced ALI. We established a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model for ALI in adult rats under anesthesia. Sepsis amplifies pathological lung tissue damage, lung endothelial permeability, serum inflammatory factor production, and the number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Furthermore, it enhances the expression of phosphorylated NF-\(\kappa\)B p65, reduces lung superoxide dismutase due to CLP, and elevates lung malondialdehyde levels due to LPS-induced inflammatory factor production. This cascade of events exacerbates the expression of several genes, including TNF-\(\alpha\) and cytokines. LPS-induced inflammatory factor production also enhances the formation of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria. In summary, our current research provides evidence that ENT acts as a novel regulator of inflammation in sepsis-induced ALI in rats. The control of oxidative stress and the modulation of the inflammatory response are two key underlying mechanisms for the effects of ENT.

Background: Gallstones represent a prevalent gastrointestinal ailment often necessitating hospitalization. The preferred surgical approach for most patients is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Instances where the procedure is converted to an open cholecystectomy typically result from factors such as adhesions, complex anatomy at Calot's triangle, or injury to the common bile duct [1]. This study focused on patients admitted to the surgery department to identify the factors leading to the shift from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy within a tertiary care center. Secondary objectives encompassed assessing age, gender, and etiological factors associated with cholelithiasis. Methods: This prospective observational study involved 200 admitted patients after obtaining informed consent and ethical clearance from the Institutional Review and Research Committee (IRRC). Those diagnosed with cholelithiasis through imaging techniques like ultrasonography (USG), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and/or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy [2]. The study investigated the factors linked to the conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to an open procedure. Results: Among the 200 patients included in the study, 18 required conversion to an open cholecystectomy. The primary reason for conversion was adhesions, accounting for the highest proportion at 8%. Other reasons included CBD injury (2%), bleeding of the cystic artery (2%), bowel injury (1%), and unclear anatomy (3%). Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a secure and minimally invasive procedure characterized by a low conversion rate. In this study, the primary reason for conversion was the significant presence of dense adhesions in Calot's triangle, underlining its importance as a common factor leading to a shift from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy.
