Authors: Maslii О. , Zdanevuch V. , Yanyk S. , Malikov V. , Berezovska L.
Published: August 2022

The article addresses the problem of environmental pollution during the production of petroleum products at logistics support, highlights the negative factors of oil distillation and processing of products, which include atmospheric pollution the oceans and the lithosphere, and provides a brief description of some wastewater treatment methods and recommendations for the protection of atmospheric air.
Oil refineries are a source of air, water and land pollution by hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxides, phenols and aldehydes.
Oil refining is a multistage process for separating a mixture of different carbon and hydrogen atoms in a molecule, as well as for constructing carbohydrates into separate fractions and changing the structure of molecules of individual fractions, this process is not waste-free.
A significant amount of harmful and toxic substances enter the environment. The environmental problems of oil distillation and direct distillation processing include air pollution throughout the oceans and lithosphere.
The safety of technological processes is determined by a number of factors: the method of production and its hardware design, the degree of continuity of the process, its optimal operating parameters, the quantity, composition, properties and state of aggregation of the initial, intermediate and final products, and others.
Oil and oil products form fire-hazardous, explosive and toxic mixtures with air. Special attention is paid to the methods and methods of pumping, storing and using both oil and its refined products.
Thus, in order to obtain a productive result of improving the ecology in the production of petroleum products, attention is drawn to the main directions of the development of waste-free and low-waste technologies at the present stage of society development.
Keywords: ecology, complex measures, air pollution, environmental protection, waste water treatment, mechanical methods, waste-free and low-waste technologies.

Authors: Huliak O. , Kinderknekht L. , Minasov V. , Smolyanyi M. , Klimenko V.
Published: August 2022

The article analyzes the foreign and domestic experience of combat use of Army Aviation Helicopters (AA) in modern wars and local conflicts when conducting raid operations by the units of Air Assault (Airmobile) forces, as well as the experience of transfer of the Air Assault Forces by helicopters in time of action.
During a raid, air assault battalion can use combat helicopters. In this case, helicopter ambushes are most expedient to use in the ways of raising the nearest enemy reserves and in case of the enemy's mobile objects to strike suddenly, using various tactical techniques. The use of ambushes will be most effective in the area, which provides the secretive action of helicopters and the selection of enough quantity of fields.
The use of Army aviation allows the airborne assault units to be transferred during a raid. Helicopters must fly at extremely low altitudes using terrain masking, individual and group means of EW. Exit of helicopters at the landing field of the air assault force is carried out suddenly and accurately in relation to place and time.
AA units are widely used to evacuate units. Transport and combat helicopters provide for the admission on board and transportation of personnel, weapons, documents; conducting intelligence. At the same time combat helicopters perform the task of destroying air defense on the flight route; concealment of AA combat order from possible attacks by enemy helicopters in the air; landing and take-off of transport and combat helicopter.
Commanders of air assault units must be aware of the tactics of combat, transport-combat and transport helicopters and their tactical characteristics, which will significantly improve the effectiveness of the raid and be able to apply it during the raid.
Keywords: Army aviation helicopters, combat control group, advanced aircraft commander, Air Assault Forces, helicopter units.

Authors: Semenenko O. , Korkina N. , Semenenko L. , Dobrovolska L. , Polivoda M.
Published: August 2022

In the article, the authors disclose the results of a comparative analysis of the financial support of military personnel and the salaries of civilian personnel in the scientific and educational sphere of NATO and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to determine their compliance with the average NATO standards. The experience of foreign countries shows that servicemen, as a rule, are assigned a single basic salary, which depends on the assigned military rank and length of service and other factors (the number of years in the position, allowances for the complexity of service, special, state significance degrees, titles, awards, etc. etc.). For civilian personnel working in the defense structures of these countries (in the leadership, in research institutions, educational institutions, etc.), the payroll formula is the official salary, which is determined in accordance with the wage scale and length of service, as well as others factors are related to the type of activity (scientific degree, level of professionalism, work efficiency, workload, level of competence, etc.). A table of averaged indicators of financial support for military personnel and wages of employees has been formed. It shows the inconsistency between the financial support of military personnel and the wages of civilians (workers) in the scientific and educational sphere in the institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and NATO countries (in terms of nominal indicators and indicators of the share of the average salary as of January 2019). Based on the results of the comparative analysis, conclusions were drawn on the existing inconsistencies in the salaries of servicemen and civilian personnel of the scientific and educational sphere in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and possible ways to avoid the imbalance of these indicators were identified.
Keywords: comparative analysis, financial support, wages, scientific and educational spheres, nominal indicators, indicator of parts of the average wage, method of rationing, discrepancy.
Depression, A Mental Aspect in Rheumatoid Arthritis Comorbidities
Authors: Fajarai Birgitta
Published: August 2022

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) significantly impacts patients' mental health, especially in generating depression. It is affected by RA clinical presentations of deformities, pain, and disability that significantly affect patient quality of life and become a stressor to mental comorbidities. Clinicians and society often overlook mental issues related to a disease, including patients and their families. Mental issues, especially depression, have become a global burden for people of all ages. This review presents the recent study of depression as a comorbid to rheumatoid arthritis patients. Recent studies correlate depression with increased RA progressivity that is mediated by inflammation mechanisms. Through this mechanism, the RA progressivity affects the occurrence of depression, but also, the depression worsens the RA symptoms. Although most RA therapy help reducing depression, a few do the opposite. Some of the assessment has been developed in helping clinicians evaluate RA disease activity and depression early. The understanding dan awareness of the bidirectional mechanism will help clinicians improve the management of rheumatoid arthritis and depression.

Authors: Yusuf Hasbiallah
Published: August 2022

The association of the nervous system with skin is well documented, with close anatomical, physiological and functional connections between skin and nervous system, known to be ontogenetically related. Psychodermatology is a branch of science that is still underdeveloped, described concerning possible interaction between dermatology and psychiatry. The physician often feels challenges for treating patients with Psychodermatology conditions, due to the difficulty of extracting the medical history, which makes a lot of misunderstanding between clinical symptoms and the diagnostic criteria. The treatment of psychodermatological disorders focuses on elaborating on how an effective approach to the psychodermatology patient can help build such an alliance and improve outcomes. The aim of the approach is to improve function, reducing physical distress, diagnosing ​and treating depression and anxiety associated with skin ​disease, managing social isolation, and improving self-esteem of the patient.

Authors: Kaleli Catherine Nzisa , Njoroge Margaret , Arasa Josephine
Published: August 2022

Nature bestowed humans with emotions. The stresses of the modern-day world have a negative effect; hence, people are becoming more emotionally volatile, less self-motivated, and less compassionate. Consequently, the levels of Emotional Intelligence (EI) continue to decline. Furthermore, the daily challenge of dealing effectively with emotions is critical to human beings because our brains are hard-wired to give emotions the upper hand: Our view of the world, how we react to it and adjust our behaviour accordingly is largely influenced by emotions. Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills are huge contributors to overall health as well as success in life, which is attributed to their impact on the ability to motivate and self-manage. This study assesses the level of EI among Students in Kenya Medical Training Colleges. The sample comprised 372 participants aged between 17 and 25 years. Data were collected using a researcher developed questionnaire and an emotional intelligence assessment tool with five components/subscales. These are: intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills, stress management skills, adaptability, and general mood. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The average scores for all participants were as follows: 41.9 for intrapersonal; 28.3 for interpersonal; 30.8 for stress management; 23.9 for adaptability; and 25.3 for general mood. Consequently, the overall average scores were 150.2 which falls under the high level of EI based on the criteria for measuring EI. The implication is that the students at Kenya Medical Training College have a high level of emotional intelligence

Published: August 2022

Introduction: LDH, defined as the localized displacement of disc material beyond the margins of the intervertebraldisc space is considered the most common cause of lumbosacral radiculopathy. Compared with nonspecific lowback pain without radiating leg pain, LDH is associated with radiating pain/ radiculopathy,severe pain, disability,healthcare use and intervention.Objectives: To explorethe risk-factors associated with PLID/ LDH.Literature: In this review, best evidence synthesis included systemic reviews, cohort studies and case-controlstudies that investigated the risk factors for LDH/ PLID.Critiques: LDH with radiculopathy results from complex relationships between individual, behavioural, andwork-related variables. Evidence revealed that- age, sex, education, BMI, cardiovascular risk factors, smoking,occupational lumbar load by forward bending postures and manual materials handling, perceived risk of workinjury, decision freedom at work, regular or irregular three-shift work or regular night work in and time pressureat work are associated with the development. It is also found that manual occupation, genetics, and previous backpain may contribute to the development of LDH with radiculopathy in adults.Conclusion: Although the literature is varying quality and heterogeneous, but the evidence revealed that LDH/PLID is an important source of pain and disability in society. Future research should focus on prospective designsexamining modifiable risk factors and prevention strategies.

Introduction. Construction enterprises can adversely affect the environment during the extraction of natural raw materials, as well as during the reconstruction, overhaul, and demolition of buildings. The manufacturing of construction materials, the actual erection, and maintenance of various buildings and structures comprise highly material- and energy-intensive processes characterized by waste generation, which need to be disposed. In developed countries, recycling wastes as a commercial commodity represents the preferable way of recovering concrete, reinforced concrete, and masonry (brick) waste. In this regard, the disposal of construction waste (including waste from sand-lime brick and brickwork) is becoming increasingly important.

Aim. In this work, the grain-size distribution, strength, and bulk density of recycled crushed aggregate from crushed sand-lime bricks (open stone mix) and brickwork (containing mortar) were determined and compared, and the prospects of its use as aggregates in the production of general-purpose concrete were identified.

Materials and methods. Recycled crushed aggregate from crushed sand-lime bricks (open stone mix) and brickwork (containing mortar) was used for the studies. The recycled crushed aggregate was tested as per GOST 8269.0-97, its characteristics were evaluated as per GOST 8267-93.

Results. This work shows the correlation between the bulk density, grain-size distribution, and crushing capacity of recycled crushed aggregate produced by crushing fragments of brickwork (containing mortar) and sand-lime bricks (open stone mix).

Conclusions. It is shown that recycled crushed aggregate obtained by crushing fragments of brickwork (containing mortar) and sand-lime bricks (open stone mix) are suitable (along with crushed stone from sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) for use as a coarse aggregate in the production of general-purpose concrete. It is shown that it is necessary to carry out comprehensive experimental work in order to develop a new GOST, which will improve the recycling of sand-lime bricks, as well as structures and products based on them following the end of their operation lifetime, and allow high-quality ready-to-use construction material to be obtained.

Published: August 2022

Introduction. The technology of connecting precast reinforced concrete piles using pile joints is a promissing method in construction. According to some previous studies, the use of Leimet ABB+ pile joints provides for a significant reduction in material and labor intensity, as well as the time required for connecting the piles under sufficiently high strength and durability. Currently, the application of this technology is limited due to the insufficient knowledge of mechanical characteristics of pin connections. This article presents the results of strength tests of Leimet ABB+ pile joints for recast reinforced concrete piles.

Aim. Experimental testing of the strength parameters of Leimet ABB+ pile joints under compression, tensile, transverse shear, and bending.

Methods and materials. Experiments were performed using test samples represented by two fragments of recast reinforced concrete piles of the 1.011.1-10 standard, which were joined by a 4-lock Leimet ABB+ 400 pile joint. Loading tests of the samples were carried out in accordance with the GOST 8829-2018.

Results. The qualitative and quantitative destruction parameters of the test samples were obtained. The destruction of all the test samples occurred along the concrete body of piles with no signs of destruction of the metal pin connection. In addition, no signs of concrete indents in the area of the pin connection were observed.

Conclusions. Leimet ABB+ 400 pile joints were concluded to be of the uniform strength to the concrete pile body under the considered conditions. The test results of the pile joint strength are applicable when developing design projects.

Authors: Nguyen Hong Thu , Le Kieu Oanh Dao
Published: August 2022

Financial inclusion can be understood as the provision of financial services in a convenient and appropriate way to meet the needs of society, help vulnerable groups have opportunities, and promote sustainable economic growth. This study uses a probit regression model with 200 observations collected from November 1 to December 31, 2019, to examine how socio-demographic characteristics influence the probability of financial inclusion in Vietnam. The results show that human capital, education, and living in urban areas increase personal financial inclusion, while age has an inverse relationship with financial inclusion. Based on the analysis results, we recommend some solutions to promote financial inclusion, especially by applying financial technology and supplying more services to Vietnamese people.
ENTREPREURIAL SELF-EFFICACY AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING SELF-EMPLOYED – A COMPARISON OF URBAN AND RURAL AREAS IN VIETNAM
Authors: Nguyen Thi Lanh , Do Quang Hung
Published: August 2022

A large body of entrepreneurship research has focused on the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and start-up activity. Yet, little is known about how the interplay of these mechanisms is moderated by informal institutional conditions (e.g., social traits in rural and urban regions). Particularly, Vietnam, a country with a socialist-oriented market economy, has emerged as one of the world’s most entrepreneurial countries. This study examines how the effects of individuals’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy on being self-employed are contingent on institutional environments (e.g., rural and urban areas). Statistical analyses of 2013 to 2015 data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) project for Vietnam provide empirical evidences that entrepreneurial self-efficacy is significantly and positively associated with being self-employed, and that this effect is more pronounced for individuals in rural than those in urban areas. Moreover, the findings show that people in rural Vietnam are more willing to be self-employed than their peers in urban areas. This difference is explained by the distinct impact of the informal institutional variable, entrepreneurial self-efficacy (e.g., the knowledge, skills, and experience required to start a new business) that individuals living in rural areas may gain from entrepreneurship promotion and start-up programs supported by the Vietnamese leadership. Our findings have implications for national entrepreneurship programs and financial support for start-up projects in rural areas.
THE IMPACT OF CREATING SHARED VALUE ON PURCHASE INTENTION AND RECOMMENDATION INTENTION: A STUDY IN VIETNAM
Authors: Nguyen Ha Thu , Le Phong Lam
Published: August 2022

Creating shared value (CSV) has been predicted as the next evolution of corporate social responsibility. Companies that follow the CSV approach integrate economic, societal, and environmental objectives in their strategy to pursue sustainability and competitive advantages. This study investigates the effects of CSV contributions (which are framed as economic, social, and environmental contributions) on brand attitude, and then the effects of brand attitude on consumer purchase and recommendation intentions. This research also examines the moderating role of perceived personal relevance on the relationships between economic, social, and environmental contributions and brand attitude. The proposed model was empirically tested on a sample of 234 consumers in a metropolitan city in Vietnam. The results confirm that positive links exist between the three CSV contributions and brand attitude as well as between brand attitude and consumer intentions of purchasing and recommending. The study also finds that perceived personal relevance moderates the effect of environmental contribution on brand attitude. These effects help us better understand previous findings in the literature regarding the influence of CSV on consumer intentions and enrich the limited CSV research. Moreover, this study also provides managerial suggestions for companies in making their CSV decisions.

Introduction. There are some data that suggest that emotional stress and depression may affect the development of functional organic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the relationship between them is not fully understood. It is not unknown the relationship between stress / depression and chronic gastritis.
Aim: to analyze the published articles and online sources on depressive disorders with an emphasis on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and investigate the depression level in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia, with or without gastric dysplasia.
Materials and methods. Literature data were studied for 2004-2021 using Internet resources in English, Ukrainian, and Russian language. Using the HADS scale («The hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale»), the level of depression was studied in 76 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (with intestinal metaplasia, with or without gastric dysplasia). Statistical data analysis was performed with SPSS Version 13.0.
Results. Having used Internet resources and scientific publications, depressive manifestations, according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), diagnostic methods, the prevalence of depressive disorders before and during the pandemic COVID-19, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on the severity of depressive manifestations were studied. Additionally, it was found in this study that 23.7 % of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis had depressive changes. 13.2 % of these changes were subclinically expressed, and 10.5 % of ones were clinically expressed and required psychocorrective therapy.
Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic is a trigger in society that may exacerbate depression in patients with other comorbid diseases and in the general population. Depressive changes requiring psychocorrective therapy were revealed in 23.7 % of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia.
Keywords: Depression, general population, COVID-19, chronic atrophic gastritis, intestine metaplasia, dysplasia.

The hybrid of sturgeon "lenbel" (F1 ♀ Acipenser baerii × ♂ Huso huso) was studied by conventional methods for a complex of plastic and meristic signs.

It was found that only the horizontal diameter of the eye (O), the greatest height of the head (HC), the distance from the end of the rostrum to the base of the middle antennae (rc) and to the cartilaginous arch of the mouth (rr), the width of the snout at the cartilaginous arch of the mouth (SRr), the width of the mouth (SO) and the width of the break of the lower lip (il) for hybrid and beluga, and the width of the lower lip break (il) and the width of the snout at the base of the middle antennae (SRc) for hybrid and Siberian sturgeon have a transgression index of less than 67%, and can be used to identify the hybrid form. The beluga fingerlings were largely consolidated, and therefore united into a single cluster. Siberian sturgeon and hybrid also form two clearly differentiated clusters, but the intra-group divergence of the hybrid is slightly higher than that of the original forms. In hybrid fingerlings, relative plastic and meristic signs are not related to body size and remain constant during the growing period, that is, they may be specific to it. It is shown that some head measurements can be used for confident identification of the hybrid.
The Influence of Stock Exchange Companies in the Quality of Brazilian Higher Education
Authors: Araújo Carlos Roberto Fernandes , Dias Murillo de Oliveira
Published: August 2022

In Brazil, an increasing 75 percent of Higher Education is currently controlled by private entities, from which nearly 70 percent is owned by stock exchange companies, which have become prominent over the past two decades. However, there is little information on whether the presence or absence of stock exchange companies affected the quality of education. Therefore, this article investigated the education quality assessment system, the National Higher Education Assessment System (SINAES), and the National Student Performance Exam (ENADE). We also conducted in-depth interviews (N=9) with experts on the subject and grasped relevant nuances. Findings pointed out evidence that the entry of stock exchange companies did not improve the quality of higher education over the past decades. (i) Low remuneration of professors, (ii) more significant concern with the number of enrollments and not graduating students, (iii) more significant concern with returns for shareholders instead of the quality of education standards, and (iv) absence of a regulatory agency for the sector were some of the shreds of evidence pointed out as causes for the poor influence of the stock exchange companies in quality of the Brazilian Higher Education, discussed in this work.

Published: August 2022

The words in the lexicon are assumed to be arranged in networks or semantic fields. This view is the basis for priming experiments. The priming experiments believe that when the target word is preceded by a semantically related word, the word is activated earlier when compared to conditions where the word occurs in isolation or it is preceded by a semantically unrelated word. This view is universally related but the magnitude of semantic relationship may not be the same for all kinds of words. A word in the lexicon can be related to other words by four types of relationships namely super ordinate, derivative, category coordinate and derivative. The aim of the study was to study the semantic organisation in adolescent, young and older adults. A total of 200 participants were considered for the study. A paper-pencil test was administered on these participants, where they were asked to encircle the word which would go well with the target word. The findings of the study showed that the semantic organisation did not vary much between the three groups. Associative semantic ordinate was proximally related to the target word, while super ordinates were distally related to the target word

Published: August 2022

The study investigated educational social implications of learning theories towards the management of activities of kidnapers in Katsina State. The study employed survey research design and the population of the study comprises of 705 people in the affected areas. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 248 people (Research Advisor, 2006) from the population of the study. The instrument for data collection was Learning Theories Questionnaire for Kidnapers’ Activities (LTQKA). The instrument was validated by the experts in educational psychology, test and measurement, guidance and counseling, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The questionnaires were distributed to the families of victims of kidnappers in the affected areas. Investigation revealed that, schedule of reinforcement and generalization were methods mostly used by the families of captives to free their people from the hands of kidnappers. The finding also revealed that, the families of victims of kidnappers did not believe in the principle of extinction which should have been the best way to end kidnapping in the State. Based on the findings, it was recommended that: government should enact a law that will ban the payments of ransoms to free captives of kidnappers, families of the victims of kidnappers should stop paying ransom to kidnappers as a way to set their people free, governmental and non-governmental organizations should devise means of comforting the families of kidnapped people so that they will have relief and at the same time have courage to abide by the enacted law banned the payments of ransoms to free captives.

Review question / Objective: After successful treatment with ADT, most patients with advanced disease eventually develop resistance and progress to castration-resistant PCa (CRPC), which remains an incurable disease.Low survival and high mortality of PCa are associated with the appearance of CRPC and subsequent metastatic disease. To advance the fight against PCa, it is necessary to continue basic and clinical research to improve testing, prevention and treatment practices. However, under current treatments, prevention should be seen as a basic strategy to reduce PCa morbidity and mortality. Epidemiological studies have shown that a healthy diet may significantly affect the occurrence and progression of prostate cancer. After promising preclinical testing, several natural compounds have been evaluated in the clinic. In this study, we compared data from clinical trials on several natural chemopreventive drugs as well as chemopreventive agents that have been tested for PCa chemoprevention. Provides some grounding support for preventing the progression of prostate cancer.

Review question / Objective: Does sarcopenia affect the future liver remnant growth after portal vein embolization/ligation (thus affect the subsequent hepatectomy in patients with liver cancers)? Condition being studied: Portal vein embolization (PVE) and Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein Ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) are two commonly used procedures for hypertrophy of the remaining liver before major liver resection in patients with liver cancer. However, around 30% patients who undergo PVE cannot proceed to liver resection due to insufficient liver growth. Many factors may affect liver growth after PVE. This study evaluates the clinical variables affecting liver growth after portal vein embolization/ligation in patients with liver cancers.

We present a green route for the colloidal synthesis of undoped and silver (Ag) doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs). We have used olive oil as the reaction medium, which acted as a source of oleic acid (OA) ligand in the green synthesis of CdS QDs. With the increase in OA concentration, the dispersibility of CdS QDs improved. The water-dispersible CdS QDs were prepared via exchanging OA’s associated ligand with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA). The MPA-capped CdS QDs showed the disappearance of the S-H peak as characterized via FTIR. The crystal and optical properties of Ag-doped CdS QDs were investigated, and the spectral red shift in the absorption spectra was observed. The CdS QDs with low Ag doping concentration increased the lifetime of excitons, but the average lifetime was suppressed at a higher concentration. We also discussed the variation in the properties of the CdS QDs through ligand engineering and Ag doping. These doped and undoped QDs have the potential for applications in photocatalysis, water splitting, solar cells, etc. In addition, water dispersible QDs can be helpful for bioimaging, and drug delivery applications
Ebediyete Bağış: Balat Şer‘iyye Sicillerinde Para Vakfı Kayıtları (1555-1838)

Vakıf medeniyeti olarak da bilinen Osmanlı’da vakıf kurumu eğitimden sağlığa, kültürel hizmetlerden beledi hizmetlere kadar hayatın her alanında çeşitli katkılar sağlamıştır. Kurumun yaygınlığı ve kapsayıcılığı günümüze ulaşan çok sayıda vakfiye içeriğinden tespit edilmektedir. Vakfiyelerde vakfın ciheti doğrultusunda ne tür hizmetler verildiği ayrıntılarıyla kayıtlıdır. Ayrıca, kişilerin mal varlıkları, mimari eserler, kamu görevlileri, hukuki işlemler, mahalleler, aile üyeleri hakkında bilgiler gibi pek çok konu işlenmiştir. Para vakıflarına ait vakfiyelerde ise bahsi geçen konulara ilaveten vakfedilen nakitler, işletim usulleri, nema oranları, elde edilecek gelirlerin kullanımına ait detaylar da söz konusudur. Çalışmanın amacı para vakıflarının işleyiş prensiplerini ortaya koymak ve para vakıflarının sosyoekonomik yönden Osmanlı toplum yaşantısına katkılarını araştırmaktır.

Örneklem alanı olarak, erken dönemlerden itibaren para vakfı vakfiyelerinin bulunduğu İstanbul Balat Şer’iyye Sicilleri alınmıştır. Çalışma 1555-1838 arasında kayıtlı toplam 55 vakfiye üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulguların karşılaştırılması için üç farklı mahkeme kayıtlarında tespit edip incelediğimiz 1491-1911 arasında kurulmuş 426 para vakfı vakfiyesine başvurulmuştur. Bu sayede, vakfiye sayısı ve ait oldukları dönemler itibariyle, şimdiye kadar eksik kalan toplu değerlendirme imkânı yakalanmıştır. Neticede para vakıflarının hizmetlerine devam edebilmek için değişen sosyoekonomik şartlara uyum sağlamak adına ne gibi çabalar harcadığına dair önemli tespitler yapılmıştır. Bu kapsamda para vakıflarının bir yandan kendi içinde geçirdiği değişim ve dönüşümler tespit edilirken diğer yandan bir bütünün parçası olarak vakıfların ebediyete yaptıkları bağışlar örneklenmiştir.
Osmanlı Döneminde İzmir’den Yapılan İhracatın Analizi (1774-1776)*

Bu çalışma, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun İzmir’den yürüttüğü ihracatına ilişkin olarak, altı adet arşiv defterinden (gümrük defteri) hareketle, 1774-1776 yıllarına yönelik bir örneklem oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın temel sorusu, söz konusu yıllarda Osmanlı’nın İzmir Meyve Gümrüğü’nden yaptığı ihracatın yapısal özellikleri nelerdir şeklinde ifade edilebilir. Bunun için, söz konusu yıllarda İzmir Meyve Gümrüğü’nden ihracat yapan 244 geminin mal götürdüğü limanlar; ihracatı gerekleştiren bu gemilerin bandıraları ve 1.487 adet tüccara ait olan 2.563 parça ihraç malı sayısal olarak ve vergi rakamları bağlamında incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ihracatının ağırlıklı olarak Fransa, İngiltere ve Flemenk limanlarına yöneldiği; bu ihracatta Fransız, Venedikli, İngiliz ve Flemenk bandıralı gemilerin kullanıldığı; ihracata konu olan malların ise ham pamuk, iplik ile hammadde ve kimyasal mallardan oluştuğu şeklindedir. Bu sonuçların, daha önceden benzer kaynaklar kullanılarak yapılan kimi çalışmaların bulgularını kısmen desteklediği açıktır. Ancak elde edilen sonuçların bir tür örneklem olduğu ve genelleme yapabilmek için uzun dönemli serilerin incelenmesi gerekliliği mutlaka göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
