Authors: Uoc Tran Mai
Published: December 2023

Ly and Tran were the two longest dynasties in Vietnam's feudal history and flourished in all fields: military, economy, culture, art, architecture, and education. In addition to the work of defending the country of Dai Viet's army and people during the Ly and Tran dynasties, the educational ideology of this period, including educational methods, met and matched the characteristics and requirements of Dai Viet society at that time. It is also a notable highlight of the Ly and Tran dynasties. The article analyzes and clarifies the educational methods of the Ly - Tran dynasties in Vietnam, thereby providing comments and its significance for Vietnamese education today. Accordingly, the educational method of the Ly - Tran dynasties focused on two main methods: the "teacher reads - student copies" method, memorizing ancient histories and ancient texts, and the question and answer method, the method be a lesson for. The research also draws three observations and two meanings (focusing on exemplary methods in education; exams to select talented people for the country) when learning about educational methods during the Ly and Tran dynasties. The limitation of this study is that it has not shown and analyzed the characteristics of the educational methods of the Ly - Tran dynasties. The article is structured in three parts: (1) Educational methods of the Ly - Tran dynasties in Vietnam; (2) Some observations drawn when learning about educational methods during the Ly and Tran dynasties; (3) The significance for current Vietnamese education when learning about the educational methods of the Ly - Tran dynasties in Vietnam today.

Authors: Dogan Duhan Nurdan , Dogan Duha Nur
Published: December 2023

This review study is prompted by an assumption that secondary and high school pupils are more sensitive to school burnout. The objective of this paper is to evaluate burnout studies to determine the concept of school burnout as well as the elements that impact it. This review incorporates three years of studies on the link between school burnout and secondary and high school student performance as well as recognized cognitive and emotional factors that account for this association. Previous reviews have found moderate correlations between these variables; however, few have discussed the mediating and moderating factors that influence this connection. Systematic searches of psychiatric, educational, and pertinent internet sources were done in December 2022 for research studying school burnout and performance in secondary and high school demographics released between 2019 and 2022. Thirty-eight papers were eligible. The findings from the review of these studies revealed that school burnout was modestly connected to performance. In addition, several mediating and moderating variables, such as emotional tiredness, academic pressure, and family participation, were discovered. However, due to the lack of longitudinal studies analyzed, additional research into how these variables interact over time is required to prove causality and discover the dynamic connection between school burnout, performance, and the motivational and cognitive factors that influence it.

Features of labor behavior of modern Russian youth
Authors:   Military University named after Prince Alexander Nevsky of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Tereshonok Tatiana A.
Published: December 2023

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the of modern Russian youth labor behavior specifics, namely: focus on the meaning and content of professional activity; desire for self-realization; the growing demand for social guarantees of labor provided by law; the importance of the financial component; the importance of fair job evaluation; special requirements for the team, which should be based on a partnership type of relationship and be a set of friendly relations. Particular attention is paid to the difference between young people and the previous generation in the field of attitudes towards money. Young people tend to quickly spend what they earn on pleasure in its various manifestations, which is largely dictated by the trends of the consumer society, where public opinion has undergone a transformation, within which it has ceased to be condemned to want to be saturated with all possible goods, services and travel. A generalized description of such a phenomenon as instant culture, erasing and forming the traditional hierarchical boundaries of a professional career and forms the attitude “here and now, everything at once” is given. In this regard, young people are extremely unhappy when they do not see the quick results of their work. The essence and the reasons for the career trend “quiet quitting” when an employee is limited to performing only his direct duties stipulated by the employment contract, are revealed. The main content of the article presents the expertise affecting the relevant subject area, and the results of sociological surveys of the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, as well as data from other studies. The article may be useful for employers, human resource managers, specialists in the research field on the attitude of modern youth to professional activities.

Efficacy of Enterprise Risk Management in Enhancing Sustainability and Financial Performance in the Solar PV Industry: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: Mahwish Rani , Lai Fong-Woon , Kashif Shad Muhammad , Emad Azhar Ali Sayed
Published: December 2023

As an alternative to fossil fuels, solar PV electricity can help mitigate global warming and improve the environment by lowering greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). More nations have developed programs to encourage the production and use of PV electricity, considering the potential of renewable energy for sustainable development. The government of Malaysia wants solar PV to be the primary source of renewable energy by 2030. To reduce global warming, renewable energy technology must be implemented more widely. However, the production of solar photovoltaic modules raises serious sustainability concerns. These concerns include using conflict minerals, toxicity, and limited supply or supply chain governance risks of rare materials. Even though solar energy projects are technically feasible, stakeholders still view the region’s initiatives as risky due to ongoing governance problems. Domains related to solar project deployment that involve installation, operation, and management are particularly susceptible to governance issues, such as a lack of accountability and transparency. Renewable energy investments upfront are risky and expensive. Risks in the solar PV value chain include subpar design and manufacturing decisions, inventory losses, quality problems during the execution process, and cultural and societal problems brought on by the absence of an effective risk management system. This study thus investigates how the implementation of ERM influences the company’s financial performance. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a technique that regulates, and coordinates offset risks all over the firm to manage and integrate all risks holistically. As a result, this paper provides a conceptual and theoretical framework for how corporations use risk management to lower the cost of capital and improve sustainable development in the solar PV industry. The suggested theoretical and conceptual framework, supported by stakeholder and legitimacy theory, provides a foundation for empirically validating the entangled interaction between the relevant variables. It is advocated that measuring variables such as enterprise risk management, financial performance, and sustainability performance be based on previous research and frameworks and recommendations produced by major organizations. The purpose of this paper is to guide Malaysian solar PV companies in the implementation of sustainability and risk management.

Authors: Ikhwan Izzat Zulkefli Mohd , Nuri Al-Amin Endut Mohd , Ridhuan Tony Lim Abdullah Muhammad
Published: December 2023

The establishment of the Islamic Affairs administration has been a significant driving force behind the advancement of Islam and the Muslim community in Malaysia. To enhance religious comprehension within this community, the administration has implemented diverse programs and policies aimed at this objective. Despite the multitude of initiatives, the effectiveness of the Islamic Affairs administration’s execution of these programs and policies remains inadequately understood. Given this context, it has become imperative to closely monitor the ongoing performance of Islamic affairs to ensure the continuous growth and prosperity of Islam and the Muslim community. Consequently, this study endeavors to pinpoint the crucial constituents of the Islamic affairs index tool. Employing the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) method, the study engaged nine Islamic religious officers through purposive sampling. The findings of this research have identified eleven primary components that warrant inclusion in the Islamic affairs index instrument. This catalog of components can serve as a robust foundation for assessing the present efficacy of Islamic affairs. Consequently, the Islamic Affairs administration can systematically evaluate the impact of the programs and policies implemented within the Muslim community, thereby fostering a more informed decision-making process.

Prevalence of Toxic Work Environments and Their Impact on Wellbeing: Preliminary Findings among the Millennial Population
Authors: Zainal Badri Siti Khadijah , L.F. Chieng Sheryl
Published: December 2023

The entering of new cohorts into the workforce like millennials and gen-Z has sparked many discussions on strategies to sustain them at work. Studies have suggested that each generation is bound to unique qualities which distinguish one group from another. Despite the newer generation starting to occupy the workplace that was once dominated by baby boomers, there is still a lack of understanding towards occupational behaviours of other generations like millennials. Besides popular opinions of tech-savvy and emotionally vulnerable generations (especially in comparison to baby boomers), more comprehensive research is needed to understand the pattern and risk factors for their wellbeing concerns. In this paper, we investigate the prevalence of various aspects of toxic behaviour at work towards millennial employee wellbeing from the perspective of work-family conflict, burnout, and mental health. The objective is to address and identify patterns related to the problematic workplace that can affect millennials wellbeing at work. Results were analysed using SPSS software by using descriptive, correlation, and logistic regression methods with samples of 133 millennial workers. Findings suggest that the millennial experience of toxic behaviour at work were linked to the increased commonness of risk of wellbeing problems in terms of mental health and burnout symptoms. This paper highlights the importance of managing toxic behaviours and events for millennial employees at work. The millennial generation often thrives on the emotional aspect of work while showing an increased risk of wellbeing problems such as burnout, when exposed to a problematic environment. This paper therefore suggests the importance of sustaining and promoting a healthy working environment for the millennial generation to flourish.

Sarawak's Claim on the State's Jurisdiction over Oil and Gas on the Continental Shelf: A Legal Historical Perspective
Authors: Tang Abdullah A Rahman , Bala Bilcher , Baco Zainuddin , Nor Azan Abdullah Mohd , Nor Aman bin Othman Oummar
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to conduct a preliminary re-evaluation of the claim made by the Government of Sarawak regarding its jurisdiction over oil and gas on the continental shelf. The basis of Sarawak’s claim is rooted in the pre-Malaysia status quo of state territory, which was established through the Alteration of Boundaries of 1954. This proclamation extended the borders of the state to include the continental shelf adjacent to its coast, ensuring the state’s rights to natural resources, including oil and natural gas. However, this research questions the legality of the 1954 law based on the context of legal history. It appears to be incompatible with the 1958 Geneva Convention on the High Seas and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. These conventions provide the statutory basis for incorporating sea territorial waters beyond three nautical miles and designating Exclusive Economic Zones for specific nations. As such, obtaining jurisdiction over sea territorial waters was the responsibility of the federal government of Malaysia, which acted as the deemed signatory. The research will employ content analysis of relevant secondary sources, as well as selected historical and legal documents. By doing so, it hopes to bring clarity to the legal complexities in the historical context surrounding Sarawak’s claim. The ultimate goal is to redefine the current dimension of the issue and seek an amicable solution to address the jurisdictional matter.

Published: December 2023

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is an approach that systematically assesses, treats, monitors, and reviews risks to enhance an enterprise’s value and its ability to anticipate and prepare for imminent risks. Previous studies have mainly focused on the impact of ERM implementation on financial performance, while its relationship with non-financial performance, particularly sustainability performance, has received less attention. This study aims to explore the level of ERM implementation and develop a framework to investigate its effect on sustainability performance, encompassing economic, environmental, and social aspects. The study proposes a questionnaire survey to be distributed to respondents involved in risk management implementation, such as the risk committee, risk management workgroup, and the top corporate risk working group, among state government-linked companies. By gathering insights on companies’ ERM implementation and sustainability performance, the study aims to conceptualize the relationship between the two. For data analysis, the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) is proposed to investigate relationships between constructs and latent variables. Understanding the penetration level of ERM implementation and its impact on sustainability performance will offer valuable insights for formulating strategies to improve the overall performance of state government-linked companies.

Establishing a Sustainable Shariah-Compliant Hospital in Malaysia: Exploring the Pertinent Concept
Authors: Ilyani Che Jamaludin Farrah , Ridhuan Tony Lim Abdullah Muhammad , Nuri Al-Amin Endut Mohd
Published: December 2023

Malaysia has been a member of the Organization of Islamic Countries since 1969, and Islam is recognized as the federal religion in the country. The growing awareness of practicing Islam as a way of life among Muslims worldwide has significantly impacted the concept of hospitality services in the healthcare industry and tourism in Malaysia. As a result, there is an emergence of Shariah-compliant hospitals in the country to cater to the demand of Muslim consumers. However, the establishment of these hospitals lacks proper guidelines, leading to the need for developing standardized and regulated Islamic medical ethics and Shariah-compliant hospitals. This is crucial to ensure proper adherence to Islamic principles, especially in addressing concerns of the Muslim public and religious scholars regarding justified Islamic practices in medical treatment. To address this need, this study aimed to explore the elements or standards required in establishing Shariah-compliant hospitals (SCH). The study adopted a focus group discussion approach with 9 representatives selected through purposive sampling. Participants included hospital administrators, doctors, nurses, policymakers, academics, and representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Thematic analysis of the discussions revealed eight critical elements to consider when planning a sustainable Shariah-compliant hospital. These elements include ibadah-friendly infrastructure, Islamic medical ethics, Shariah compliance prescription, spiritual care support, Islamic medical service competencies, a conducive Islamic environment, affordability and accessibility, and an Islamic work culture. These findings serve as a foundation for future research aimed at developing a comprehensive framework for the establishment of standards for Shariah-compliant hospitals.

Conceptualizing Sustainable Consumption Behaviors among Millennial Employees in the Energy Sector
Authors: Siddiqui Faiza , Salleh Rohani , Shamim Amjad
Published: December 2023

The increasing concern regarding the impact of energy consumption on the environment and the 2050 net-zero emission target necessitates the investigation of behavioral studies in energy consumption among employees. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework for future research on sustainable consumption behavior, specifically focusing on millennials. The conceptual framework links millennials’ sustainable consumption behavior to proactive work behavior through the lens of workplace spirituality. To develop this framework, the paper reviewed published studies related to sustainable consumption behaviors, work values, and behavioral factors across different generations. The review utilized computerized keyword searches in scholarly databases such as SpringerLink, Emerald, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Based on the review’s empirical findings, narrative examples were drawn to construct the conceptual framework. The findings emphasize the importance of exploring millennials’ sustainable consumption behavior in relation to their values and behavioral factors. Proactive work behavior and workplace spirituality are identified as actionable elements to promote sustainable consumption behaviors among employees in the energy sector. Workplace spirituality is proposed as a moderating variable for the relationship between sustainable consumption behaviors and proactive work behavior, providing potential for further research in this area. Given that millennials are a significant generation in achieving sustainable energy consumption goals by 2050, this study focuses on their hiring and training to drive sustainable behavior. It evaluates the influence of HR and organizational behavior factors on sustainable consumption behavior in the energy industry. Practical implications and recommendations aim to assist practitioners and policymakers in analyzing behavioral phenomena to establish and implement sustainable goals for millennials. The paper extends the conceptual underpinning of sustainable consumption behavior by integrating proactive work behavior and workplace spirituality in the context of energy sector millennials. It paves the way for future researchers to empirically investigate and examine these variables in the energy sector. The study’s significance lies in its conceptual contributions to the existing body of knowledge in the field of sustainable consumption behavior.

Determining Oil-Macro-Financial Linkages and Feedback Loop Effects: Evidence from Malaysia
Authors: Hean Hoo Wong , Marimuthu Maran
Published: December 2023

The correlation between declined oil prices versus bank stability has widely drawn researchers’ attention and has set the stage for vicious feedback loops. This paper further explores the oil-macro-financial linkages and its intensity of the feedback loop between declined oil prices and macroeconomic-financial development in Malaysia. To gain further insights into this issue, we discuss the development of oil-macro-financial linkages that can propagate through the domestic financial system and reverberate to the real economy. The empirical results reveal that oil price shocks have a significant impact on banking performance, channelling through microeconomic banking-specific and macroeconomic country-specific variables which influence Malaysia’s banking stability and create a ripple effect onto its real economy. In addition, this paper applies Granger causality, impulse response, and variance decompositions evaluation to assess the existence of a feedback loop effect within the oil-macro-financial linkages by using the VAR setting. In conclusion, oil-macro-financial linkages were empirically evaluated and had a more adverse effect than macro-financial factors alone could have explained within the Malaysian economy. Hence, a comprehensive understanding and extensive knowledge of the potent form of oil price volatility are significantly crucial in guiding bank operators and government regulators to mitigate risks with increasing control measurement, particularly in terms of the heterogeneous impact across the banking system and real economy.

Authors: Mukhtar Bilal , Binti Ahmad Tamrin Siti Nuraqilah , Kashif Shad Muhammad , Woon Lai Fong , Abdul Jalil Nasir
Published: December 2023

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services allow retailers and enterprises to offer their consumers installment-based payment plans to help them manage their personal finances. As such, this research aims to examine the impact of BNPL services on consumer buying behavior. BNPL services are segmented into a convenient payment system, flexible repayment system, and accessible credit system. The study proposed primary data to be collected from Malaysian youth aged between 18 to 40 years through questionnaire. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is proposed to analyze the data. The conceptualized framework is underpinned based on the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory that suggests that the adoption of BNPL services has a significant and positive impact on consumer buying behavior. This study will provide insights for regulators and industry players to decide BNPL’s future and to enhance its availability and adoption among the consumers.

From the Tax Base Erosion to the Tax Sovereignty Shifting from States to OECD/Inclusive Framework
Authors: Yáñez Felipe
Published: December 2023

La erosión de la base imponible y el desplazamiento de beneficios fiscales (BEPS) por parte de las empresas multinacionales es una preocupación mundial creciente. Esta práctica priva a los países de ingresos fiscales, distorsiona la competencia y desafía la soberanía fiscal. Iniciativas internacionales como el Plan de Acción BEPS de la OCDE buscan abordar estos problemas mediante acciones coordinadas entre países y organizaciones internacionales. Este ensayo examina críticamente el impacto de dicho plan en el concepto de soberanía fiscal de los Estados individuales y el desplazamiento de dicho poder hacia las organizaciones internacionales. Su punto de partida es que los Estados deben conservar la soberanía fiscal, ya que es fundamental para la democracia, basada en el consentimiento de los ciudadanos al pago de impuestos a gobiernos transparentes y fiscalizables. Por el contrario, el desplazamiento de la soberanía fiscal a organizaciones internacionales plantea preocupaciones sobre sus efectos en los principios democráticos. El autor aboga por un enfoque equilibrado para abordar los problemas fiscales globales, respetando la soberanía fiscal y los valores democráticos. Bajo esta perspectiva, la solución a dichos problemas, en lugar de concentrarse exclusivamente en una cada vez mayor coordinación global, podría implicar que los Estados renueven los contratos sociales con sus ciudadanos, logrando un equilibrio entre la coerción estatal y la libertad de los contribuyentes para vincularse con otras jurisdicciones.
Realizacje grafemów "ą" i "ę" w piśmie Polaków i cudzoziemców uczących się języka polskiego jako drugiego (na przykładzie studentów z Ukrainy)
Authors: Dembowska-Wosik Iwona
Published: December 2023

Artykuł poświęcony jest wariantom grafemów ą i ę w piśmie Ukraińców uczących się języka polskiego jako drugiego. Punktem wyjścia do analizy były realizacje tych grafemów w piśmie Polaków, opracowane przez K. Bielskiego w ramach badań z zakresu kryminalistycznej analizy pismoznawczej. Materiał badawczy stanowiły zapisy wykonane w formie dyktanda. Został on przeanalizowany pod kątem jakościowym (wyznaczono repertuar standardowych i innowacyjnych wariantów badanych grafemów) oraz ilościowym (porównano frekwencję występowania poszczególnych wariantów w analizowanym materiale oraz w ustaleniach kryminalistycznych). Wyniki analizy wskazują na istotne odstępstwa w sposobie pisania grafemów ą i ę przez studentów z Ukrainy względem zapisu typowego dla rodzimych użytkowników języka polskiego.
Uczenie się języka polskiego z wykorzystaniem Duolingo przez tajwańską studentkę – strategie nauki i przydatność aplikacji
Authors: Tsai Natalia
Published: December 2023

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest strategiom nauki języka obcego stosowanym przez tajwańską studentkę uczącą się polskiego na poziomie średniozaawansowanym. Eksperyment objął trening strategii przeprowadzony w ramach zajęć oraz 30 sesji samodzielnej pracy z aplikacją Duolingo, włączonej dla uzupełnienia regularnego kursu w klasie. Celem tego studium przypadku było znalezienie odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: (1) jakich strategii uczestniczka użyła i jak je postrzegała?, (2) jaki obraz pokolenia Z wyłoni się po analizie danych, zwłaszcza w kontekście nauczania języka polskiego wśród studentów z Tajwanu?, oraz (3) na ile przydatne może być Duolingo w tym środowisku? Analiza danych uzyskanych po zestawieniu 30 formularzy wypełnionych przez studentkę i przeprowadzeniu dwóch 50-minutowych wywiadów wykazała, że strategie kognitywne wykorzystane były 2,5 razy częściej aniżeli strategie metakognitywne, podczas gdy strategii społecznych nie użyto wcale. Najprzydatniejsze okazały się: elaboracja, wnioskowanie, dedukcja, notowanie, transfer językowy oraz samokontrola. Ich dobór był w dużej mierze uwarunkowany wcześniejszymi doświadczeniami wyniesionymi ze szkoły – środowiska zorientowanego na współzawodnictwo i egzaminy. Wypowiedzi studentki pozwalały odnieść wrażenie, iż była ona pod silnym wpływem wartości kojarzonych z indywidualizmem. Z jej punktu widzenia Duolingo stanowiło jedynie namiastkę tradycyjnych zajęć i jako takie mogło służyć użytkownikom niemającym dostępu do innych form nauki. Wyraziła ona ponadto rozczarowanie związane z koniecznością posługiwania się językiem angielskim podczas pracy z aplikacją. Przedstawione studium przypadku ujawnia konieczność promocji języka i kultury polskiej oraz uwidocznia, jak ważne jest lepsze poznawanie przekonań, nawyków i strategii stosowanych przez poszczególne grupy studentów uczących się języka polskiego jako obcego. Co się tyczy Duolingo, twórcy aplikacji winni uwzględnić potrzeby osób mniej wprawnie posługujących się angielskim.

Rak jelita grubego i jego diagnostyka pozostają istotnym problemem klinicznym. Ektopia nerki jest jedną z głównych anomalii rozwojowych układu moczowego, chociaż występuje stosunkowo rzadko w populacji ogólnej. Najczęściej przebiega bez objawów i jest wykrywana przypadkowo. W pracy przedstawiono opis przypadku 43-letniego mężczyzny, u którego podejrzewano raka jelita grubego z powodu sugestywnego obrazu klinicznego (ból brzucha, zaparcie, spadek masy ciała, obciążający wywiad rodzinny w kierunku raka jelita grubego) oraz podejrzenia procesu rozrostowego na podstawie wykonanego ambulatoryjnie badania ultrasonograficznego jamy brzusznej. W wyniku przeprowadzonej diagnostyki nie stwierdzono u chorego procesu rozrostowego, rozpoznawana zaś uprzednio zmiana budząca podejrzenie nowotworu okazała się położoną w miednicy prawą nerką. Przedstawiony opis przypadku pokazuje, że ektopia nerki może powodować trudności diagnostyczne, m.in. u chorych diagnozowanych w kierunku procesu rozrostowego jelita.

Background: Biofloc technology relies on adding a carbon source to maintain optimal carbon to nitrogen ratio for transforming the waste into microbial biomass that aquatic animals can use. In the present study, the growth performance of the critically endangered Hypselobarbus pulchellus in biofloc-based seed rearing with different Carbon to Nitrogen ratio was studied. Methods: Healthy early fry (0.01 g) was randomly stocked into 15 circular FRP tanks (1000 L) at a density of 100 individuals/m3 and reared for 90 days. The carbon to nitrogen ratios of 5:1(CN5), 10:1(CN10), 15:1(CN15) and 20:1(CN20) were maintained using jaggery without considering carbon content derived from the feed and the control group received no additional source of carbon. Result: The results indicated that H. pulchellus had better growth performance in biofloc systems having higher C/N ratios. The highest weight gain (0.48±0.01 g) and weight gain percentage (3931.15±120.68%) and specific growth rate (4.11±0.03% per day) were found in the CN10 group (P less than 0.05), followed by CN15 and CN20, while the control group values were lowest. In terms of survival, all treatments had high survival rates ranging from 92% to 94.67%, with no significant variations (P greater than 0.05). The CN10, CN15 and CN20 treatments had significantly higher amylase, protease and lipase activities than control (P less than 0.05). Moreover, the immunological and antioxidant activity increased with CN ratios. The CN10, CN15 and CN20 groups had significantly lower total ammonia nitrogen, nitrite and nitrate levels than control group (P less than 0.05). Overall, this study suggests that C/N ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 are optimal for rearing H. pulchellus fingerlings from early fry, with 10:1 presenting the best growth results.

A tentativa de conter a propagação da hanseníase no Estado de São Paulo motivou a construção de asilos-colônia, estrategicamente distribuídos no interior do estado. A malha ferroviária e as reivindicações da Comissão das Municipalidades permitiram a instalação de uma rede de asilos, em distintas cidades. Construídos entre 1920 e 1930, os asilos Santo Ângelo, Padre Bento, Pirapitingui, Cocais e Aimorés formaram a rede de profilaxia oficial da doença. A seleção de dois casos de estudo, os asilos Santo Ângelo e Aimorés, levou em consideração as características distintas de cada um deles, com o intuito de constituir uma reflexão passível de ser estendida aos outros asilos, estudando-os em seus contextos territoriais, para além de suas características como conjuntos arquitetônicos. Foi necessário constituir métodos próprios de reconhecimento do território, dos lugares, das morfologias e dinâmicas urbanas, que se somaram às discussões de preservação, no campo de estudo das memórias dolorosas e dos patrimônios marginais.

Seyyid Gazi, tarihsel olarak ‘uç’ta yer alan ve buradaki gelişmelerin şekillendirdiği önemli bir iskân merkezidir. Bu nedenle oldukça köklü iskân geçmişi Roma, Bizans, Selçuklu ve Osmanlı sınırları dâhilinde dinî, idarî ve askerî etkenler vesilesiyle şekillenmiştir. İsimlendirmesine esas Arap ve akabinde Selçuklu, Osmanlı dönemlerindeki Türk-İslam medeniyetinin zengin bir parçası olması da bu etkenlerin bir sonucudur. XV ve XVI. yüzyılları tahrir, XIX. yüzyıl dünyası ise nüfus ve temettuat kayıtlarıyla tetkik edilebilen Seyyid Gazi’nin ülkemiz literatüründeki pek çok örnekte olduğu gibi XVII ve XVIII. yüzyılları adeta karanlık bir dönemi simgeler. Oysa bölgedeki nüfus ve iskânı şekillendiren etkenler ancak bu ara döneme ait bilgilerle görünür olabilecektir. Çalışma Seyyid Gazi’nin tahrir kayıtlarına yansıyan XV ve XVI. yüzyıllar ile avârız kayıtlarındaki XVII ve XVIII. yüzyıllara ait iki resminin ortaya konulmasını esas edinmiştir. Bu resimlerden hareketle tahrirden avârıza Seyyid Gazi’de nüfus ve iskânın şekillenişi ile köy, tekke-zaviyelerin oluşumuna dair bulgular ortaya konulabilmiştir. Böylece günümüzde kendine has dinamikleriyle sıradan bir Orta Anadolu yerleşkesi olan Seyyid Gazi’nin XV. yüzyıldan XIX. yüzyıla süregiden nüfus ve iskânının yapısı ve bunun özellikle XVII ve XVIII. yüzyıllardaki şekillenişi görünür kılınmıştır.

Psikolojik travmalardan beslenen post-travmatik şiir, travmaların şiire nasıl yansıdığını ve estetik tavır haline geldiğini ruhsal hastalık semptomları üzerinden incelemektedir. Sanatçılar üzerine yapılan araştırmalar, travma olgusunun sanat türlerinden şiir sahasında belirgin olarak şairinin semptomlarını yansıttığını göstermektedir. Gösterge sistemi, şiirlerde birer mimetik temsil yaratır. Türk şiirinde psikolojik travmadan kaynaklanan psikopatolojik göstergeler, ruhsal bozukluklardır. 1860-2020 yılları arasında şiir yayımlayan şairlerde görülen karmaşık travma sonrası stres bozukluğu, travma sonrası stres bozukluğu, akut stres bozukluğu, dissosiyatif bozukluk, travmatik yas, depresyon, anksiyete bozuklukları, bedensel hastalığa dayalı travmatik bozukluk, madde kullanım bozukluğu şiirlerine gotik ve grotesk imge olarak yansımaktadır. Edebiyat tarihlerinde psikolojik travmaları saptanan şairlerin şiirleri, post-travmatik düzlemde Caruth’un temellendirdiği edebi travma kuramı üzerinden modellenmektedir. Bu çalışmada travmatik öyküleri önceki çalışmalardan tespit edilen altmış iki şairin şiirleri; özerklik/kimlik/bireyselleşme travması, karşılıklı bağlılık/ayrılık travması, bağlanma travması, başarı/kendini gerçekleştirme travması, yaşamda kalma travması ve intihar travması dahilinde sınıflandırılarak “post-travmatik şiir estetiği”nin sınırları belirlenerek edebi travma kuramı çevresinde çözümlenecektir. Ayrıca sözceleme ve imgelemede travma sonrasında yazılan şiirlerdeki ortak özellikler belirlenerek panoramik olarak post-travmatik şiiri oluşturan sözdizimi, sesbilgisel yinelemeler, yazımsal-anlamsal-tarihsel sapmalar, figüratif dil, özne-nesne diyalektiği, anlatıcının kimliği, psikopatolojik göstergeler, gotik ve grotesk imgeler belirlenecektir.

Highlights:
1. Research on the effect of blood volume proportion in the examination of HbA1c levels using K2EDTA anticoagulantvhas yet to be widely carried out in Indonesia.2. The analysis conducted utilizing K2EDTA tubes revealed that the varying proportions of blood samples had no effectvon HbA1c levels.3. This article highlights the necessity of evaluating the pre-analytical phase (sample preparation) of a laboratory process to improve the accuracy of the results and minimize false high or low results in the HbA1c test.
 
Abstract
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) examination is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes mellitus patients. In the examination, the pre-analytical phase has the most considerable error rate at 61%. One of the contributing factors is the use of anticoagulants that do not adhere to established guidelines. Additionally, the incompatibility of the sample volume proportions and the anticoagulants in K2EDTA tubes has been observed in numerous cases. The significance of HbA1c testing, particularly in the prevention of diabetes complications, underscores the need for appropriate procedures to be followed throughout the sampling and pre-analytical phases. This study aimed to determine the effect of differences in the proportion of blood sample volume and anticoagulants in K2EDTA tubes on HbA1c levels. This research was conducted in August–September 2022. The research samples were collected from the staff and students at the Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes Surabaya, Surabaya, Indonesia. The blood samples were divided into K2EDTA tubes with varying volumes of 1 mL, 2 mL, 3 mL, and 4 mL. The HbA1c levels were then examined at the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory of Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes Surabaya. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. The statistical test results (p>0.05) indicated that the proportion of samples containing anticoagulants in the K2EDTA tubes did not have any significant effect on HbA1c levels. In conclusion, it is acceptable to utilize K2EDTA tubes with varying blood sample volumes for the measurement of HbA1c levels.

Highlights:
1.Due to the adverse effects associated with current antifungal drugs, research on traditional medicine is necessary to explore other options for candidiasis treatment.2.Following the findings of this study, it is recommended to conduct further research by incorporating Coleus scuttellarioides filtrate into the growth medium, since this may improve bacterial growth by producing optimal secondary metabolites.
 
Abstract
Candida albicans is the most common organism responsible for both mucosal and systemic infections, accounting for approximately 70% of fungal infections worldwide. Miana, scientifically known as Coleus scuttellarioides (L.) Benth., is recognized for its use in traditional medicinal practices. Miana plants contain endophytic bacteria that possess the ability to produce secondary metabolites with potential antifungal agents. The objective of this study was to assess the antifungal activity of nine endophytic bacteria isolates derived from Coleus scuttellarioides against Candida albicans. This study was laboratory-based qualitative experimental research that applied the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method and several modifications. The Candida albicans specimens were spread throughout the entire potato dextrose agar medium. Afterwards, paper discs that had been soaked in a liquid culture of endophytic bacterial isolates were carefully placed on the surface of the medium. The complete setup was then incubated for 1–2 days. The potential antifungal activity of endophytic bacteria was assessed by observing the emergence of a clear zone surrounding their growth, which would indicate inhibition. An additional observation was performed in the follow-up test, involving the use of Sabouraud dextrose agar medium to confirm the initial test result. The results from the inhibitory test revealed that none of the bacterial isolates exhibited any inhibition zone. Conversely, ketoconazole as the positive control showed an inhibition zone with an average diameter of 28.5 mm. In conclusion, endophytic bacterial isolates obtained from Coleus scuttellarioides have no discernible antifungal properties against Candida albicans. This study implies that ketoconazole remains effective in treating infections caused by Candida albicans.
