THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PHARMACOVIGILANCE SERVICE IN PROMOTING THE SAFE USE OF MEDICINES
Authors: Kochleitner Juliana Fernandes da Silva
Published: February 2025

Background: Pharmacovigilance occupies a prominent place after the event known as “the Thalidomide disaster”; several babies were born with malformations resulting from the teratogenic action of the drug in question, but before that, there had already been occurrences of damage in patients associated with the use of drugs. Objective: Promote a reflection on the importance of the performance of the pharmacovigilance service in the use of medicines. Methods: The study consists of preparing a prospective literature review on the most recent publications that address theoretical and practical concepts related to pharmacovigilance services in promoting the safe use of medications. Results: Risks will always exist with each new drug substance introduced on the market, but it is necessary to carefully evaluate each secondary outcome to identify the implementation of barriers and, thus, incorporate improvements in the processes that reduce negative events for the individuals assisted. Conclusion: The continuous development of health information technology can significantly improve patient safety, including innovative solutions, such as multiple strategies that prioritize integration through synergy, with the involvement of scientists, health professionals, and patients, whenever possible.
An Explanation of The Affect Heuristic for Behavioral Economics, Focusing on The Difference Between Rational Agents and Irrational Fools
Authors: Malik Afnan
Published: February 2025

The objective of this essay is to present a comprehensive overview of two significant cognitive methodologies. The defining elements of the experiential mode include its intuitive, automatic, and natural nature, as well as its reliance on mental imagery that has acquired positive and negative meanings over time. An inherent characteristic of the alternative mode is its analytical, deliberative, and reasoning-based nature. In this response, I will provide a thorough analysis of the latest empirical data that sheds light on the concept of the affect heuristic. The term "affect heuristic" denotes a cognitive shortcut that assists individuals in making rational decisions across various situations. When individuals can effectively predict the favorable or unfavorable consequences of their decisions based on their prior experiences, it represents a significant achievement. However, we deem it as unsuccessful due to the significant disparity between the findings and our initial estimates.Given the aforementioned circumstances, the rational individual may ultimately transform into a sensible imbecile.
Uno von Troils Bref rörande en resa til Island som kunskapsförmedling
Authors: Lefter Alexandru
Published: February 2025

The aim of this article is to highlight the ways in which Uno von Troil’s book Bref rörande en resa til Island MDCCLXXII (1777) contributed to the transmission of knowl­edge about Iceland in the second half of the 18th century. The young Swede was part of a crew, under leadership of the renowned English naturalist Joseph Banks. The expedition sailed to Iceland in 1772 with the purpose of exploring its geography and the Icelanders’ way of life, traditions and beliefs. Upon his return to Sweden, von Troil wrote letters about different aspects of Icelandic culture and terrain that he, strategically, sent to high-status individuals who would appreciate the information, and, at the same time, help von Troil advance his career. The letters were later compiled in a book that was the first Swedish depiction of Iceland aimed at a non-specialized, educated audience. In this article, I try to answer to questions: How did von Troil gather the information for writing his book? How and to whom did he convey this knowledge and what kind of knowledge did he disseminate to the readers?
Correcting Icelandic Manuscripts in the Second Half of the Fourteenth Century
Authors: Pokorny Lea D.
Published: February 2025

Writing is a task prone to errors and mistakes. While modern devices allow for invisible corrections, medieval scribes often had to use methods that would remain visible to a manuscript’s future users. Previous studies on Western European manu­scripts indicate that these methods can be indicative of the people responsible as well as the time of correction, thus revealing important information about the book produc­tion process. Yet, corrections in Icelandic manuscripts have hitherto not found much scholarly attention.
This article focuses on correction techniques used in Icelandic book production in the second half of the fourteenth century in the context of Western European con­ven­tions. It discusses the used methods in their context of the possible time of correction and the people responsible for correcting, embedding the correction process in the overall sequencing of book production. It is argued that Icelandic scribes were largely responsible for going over and correcting their own material. It appears as if they used a simpler set of symbols when correcting than elsewhere in con­tem­porary Western European manuscripts. The main correction process highly likely occurred after the copying of a main text was finished and before it went on to the rubrication and decoration.

Necro-politics: Representation of Socio-civil Death of Blind Zainab in A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Muhammad Hanif
Authors: Bilal Ahmed  , Dr. Imran Ali  , Muhammad Ali Khan
Published: February 2025

The paper examines the role of necro-politics in shaping the socio-civil death of Zainab, a blind character in Muhammad Hanif’s novel A Case of Exploding Mangoes (2008). Drawing on Mbembe’s notion of necro-politics (2003&2019) the study investigates that how sovereign entities like judicial systems, law enforcement agencies, in dictatorial regime reinforce systematic socio-civil death wherein she is denied legal recognition and reduced to a disposable subject. Zainab’s blindness makes her vulnerable to both legal and social marginalization, ultimately leading to her socio-civil death, The study employs a Catherine Belsey’s textual analysis method (2014) to discover that how the select text depicts and criticizes the state mechanism in maintaining necro-power, by highlighting the intersection of law and disability and institutionalized violence. The study demonstrates that sovereign institutions function not merely as enforcers of law but as arbiters of life and death. In sum, the paper contributes to the broader critique on how necro-politics is operated in Pakistan revealing the systematic mechanism through which some disposable bodies are rendered invisible.
GLIMPSES OF THE RULES OF INTERPRETING THE QUR’AN BY THE QUR’AN ACCORDING TO IMAM JAMĀLU ALDDĪN ALṢṢAFADĪ (D. 696 AH) IN HIS INTERPRETATION KASHFU ALʼASRĀRI WAHATKU ALʼASTĀR
Authors:   Al-Madinah International University, Khambashi Zeyad Ahmad , Bey Zekkoub Abdelali ,   Al-Madinah International University
Published: February 2025

The Interpretation of Kashf al-Asrar wa-Hikt al-Astar by Imam Jamal al-Din al-Safadi (d. 696 AH) is one of the notable interpretations from the seventh century AH. It represents a distinct school of thought in Qur'anic exegesis for its time. The work follows its own method, which is explained in the introduction, where al-Safadi describes his approach of prioritizing the Qur'an and then considering the language, utilizing the tools of ijtihad available to him. He diversifies his evidence and decides what he believes to be the correct interpretation of the verses. This interpretation is characterized by its concise explanations, with al-Safadi often providing the meaning of verses in the briefest possible phrases. However, when necessary, he elaborates further. In some instances, he leaves certain points unexplained, either because they have been addressed elsewhere or because he assumes the reader is already familiar with them. The work can be classified as an interpretation of the Qur'an by the Qur'an itself, and if we were to list the interpretations historically categorized as such, al-Safadi’s would be among the foremost. This paper aims to offer insights into the rules of interpreting the Qur'an by the Qur'an according to Imam al-Safadi, beginning with his foundational principle: the Qur'an complements and supports itself, and the interpretation supported by the verses is to be preferred over others. From this principle, several key points emerge: the word is generally understood in its apparent meaning unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise, the context must be considered when explaining a verse’s meaning, and analogy can reveal deeper understanding. It is important to note that similarity in wording does not necessarily imply similarity in meaning. Finally, al-Safadi concludes that different readings of the Qur'an should be viewed as legitimate interpretations, which can be reconciled or preferred based on context. In this paper, the researcher outlines the inductive method used in al-Safadi’s interpretation, providing examples to illustrate each of the points he makes. The researcher also offers a critique of each aspect, whether in agreement with or in opposition to al-Safadi’s approach, supporting his analysis with the views of experts in the field of Qur'anic interpretation.
Quantum Probability Theory and Social Behavior Modeling: From Axioms to Applications
Authors: LI CHANGKUI
Published: February 2025

Quantum probability theory, originally developed in the context of quantum mechanics, has increasingly been applied to social sciences to explain decision-making, cognition, and collective behavior. Unlike classical probability models, which assume pre-existing and well-defined preferences, quantum models incorporate superposition, interference, and non-commutativity to capture the contextual dependence and measurement effects observed in human decisions. This paper systematically explores the theoretical foundations of quantum probability in social sciences, discusses model construction techniques, and reviews empirical findings supporting its application. By examining case studies in quantum cognition, quantum game theory, and quantum voting, we illustrate how quantum approaches provide alternative explanations for phenomena such as order effects, measurement-induced attitude shifts, and collective polarization. The paper also discusses the methodological challenges and limitations of quantum social science, emphasizing the need for rigorous experimental validation and interdisciplinary collaboration. Finally, we highlight the potential for integrating quantum probability models with emerging technologies such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence, opening new avenues for social science research and policy applications.
Quantum Interference Effects in Social Decision-Making
Authors: Qiang SUN
Published: February 2025

Quantum interference effects play a fundamental role in social decision-making, offering a novel perspective beyond classical decision theories. This study explores the theoretical foundations of quantum decision-making, emphasizing the role of quantum probability in explaining cognitive biases, preference reversals, and decision anomalies. The research presents a quantum probability-based decision model and contrasts it with classical probability models. Through theoretical modeling and experimental design, we demonstrate how quantum interference alters decision probabilities and impacts group decision dynamics. The study further examines the applications of quantum decision theory in game theory, policy-making, financial markets, and artificial intelligence. Our findings suggest that quantum probability provides a more comprehensive and realistic framework for understanding human decision-making processes. Future research should focus on empirical validation, interdisciplinary integration, and the application of quantum computing to social decision modeling.

Authors: Sophia LI
Published: February 2025

Quantum social science provides a novel theoretical and methodological framework for addressing the complexities of future urban governance. This study explores the applications of quantum probability, quantum measurement effects, quantum game theory, and quantum computing in optimizing decision-making, enhancing policy simulations, and improving urban resource allocation. The findings highlight that quantum approaches enable more adaptive, intelligent, and transparent governance models, overcoming the limitations of classical decision-making frameworks. However, challenges such as quantum computing hardware constraints, empirical validation, and ethical concerns remain significant. Future research should focus on refining quantum-enhanced governance models, integrating quantum computing with artificial intelligence, and ensuring responsible applications through ethical and regulatory frameworks. By advancing quantum social science, urban management can achieve higher efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in a rapidly evolving world.

Authors: Calingayan Felimar M.
Published: February 2025

The key purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of teachers in the implementation of project ANUS (Actively Nurturing Understanding among Students) at Hungduan National High School. It is a qualitative in nature using an interview method and the approach will be phenomenological. It was conducted among the teachers of Hungduan National High School who are implementing Project ANUS. Findings revealed that a significant challenge is the prevalence of negative behaviors among students, including lack of cooperation, low attendance, and poor engagement. Moreover, most students who joined the Project ANUS exhibit poor academic performance which is one of the difficulties faced by teachers. On the other hand, positive peer interactions among students which facilitate learning despite limited teacher-student interactions are also highlighted. Teachers employ various strategies, such as peer teaching and re-teaching, to address these challenges, often modifying and simplifying activities to suit the students’ needs. In conclusion, while the Project ANUS has some success in fostering peer support, it faces significant challenges in addressing the negative behaviors and low academic performance of students, requiring further refinement and support for effective implementation.
ECONOMIC DIMENSIONS OF AFRICA'S SELF-IDENTITY CRISIS: A STUDY OF GLOBAL TRADE AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Authors:   University of Port Harcourt, Nwafor Amechi
Published: February 2025

This study explored the economic dimensions of Africa's self-identity crisis, focusing on global trade and policy implications. Applying dependency theory, it examined how economic interactions and trade relations influenced Africa's self-concept and global image. Through an extensive literature review, including academic articles, policy reports, and historical analyses, the research provided a detailed understanding of how global trade dynamics and economic policies affected Africa's self-identity. The findings revealed that Africa's self-identity crisis was closely linked to its economic engagements with the international market. Historical and current trade relationships often exacerbated dependency and shaped global perceptions of Africa. Furthermore, the study found that the policy implications of global trade agreements and economic strategies play a significant role in influencing the continent's self-image. Based on these findings, the study emphasized the importance of developing policies that address economic dependencies and trade imbalances affecting Africa's self-identity. Recognizing these economic factors is crucial for policymakers aiming to enhance Africa's global image and promote a more independent and positive self-concept.

Published: February 2025

The dream by some Pan-Africanists to achieve supra-statehood at the continental level has been a mirage despite the efforts in playing down on the heterogeneous factors, and therefore emphasizing on homogenous traits that could make Africans see themselves as one indigenous people from one stock, same historic experience, culture and traditions. These efforts have only resulted to a mere union currently known as African Union (AU) which struggles through policies to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between and amongst member states. This study investigated the implications of Africa’s heterogeneity on the efficacy of Pan-African policies, and examined how the existing policy gaps undermine the objectives of Pan-afrinicanism. The study employed incremental model for conceptual analysis. Qualitative methodology is adopted as data were gathered through secondary means. Documentary content study was used for analysis. The study reveals that the heterogeneity which is manifested in the quest of African states for the protection and preservation of their political sovereignty, and the “overzealous policies” of African Union have led to the impediment of Pan-Africanism. It recommended amongst others that Pan-Africanism should be realized through an incremental rather than radical approach.

SummaryPurpose: To assess the level of awareness about Hba1c among diabetic patients visiting tertiary Retina/Eye care centre, and to study the factors influencing this awareness. Methods: A questionnaire based Prospective and Cross-sectional study done on patients in between age thirty to eighty years under treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Followed by Helsinki declaration of 1975. Educational qualification was graded into Illiterate (less than class seven), <Matriculate, Matriculate, Intermediate, Graduate and Post graduate. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) were graded as No DR, Mild Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) moderate to severe NPDR, very severe NPDR, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy with lesser chance of High-risk characteristics (PDR <HRC); awareness was corelated with educational qualification and DR at presentation and analysed.Results: Most of the patients were independently participated in Questionnaire. 84% patients were participated independently and only 16% patients were participated by attendee. Blood sugar monitoring through Glucometer was done by various patients. 14% used to check blood sugar twice in a week. 12.5% believed that Glucometer does not show reliable results. Patients used to check blood sugar level through various Laboratory too in various interval as suggested by clinician. Only 62% patients were known to Hba1c / Glycated haemoglobin / Average sugar test, and 38% were unaware of this test.Conclusion: There should be a larger scale study with same protocols and because level of awareness of Hba1c testing among new patients was less as compared to old patients, we also recommend activities to improve this awareness among all diabetic patients which could be helpful for better management for Hba1c, will be helpful to better understanding and care regimen for diabetic retinopathy patients.
Deleterious Dilemma Of Hyperuricemia In Psoriasis And Psoriatic Arthritis - Urate Lowering Drugs Rescue !!
Authors: Rajagopalan Dr. Balaji , Samuel Dr.T.Rajini
Published: February 2025

Psoriasis is a chronic auto immune skin disease. Hyperuricemia is frequently associated in patients with Psoriasis and Psoriatic arthritis. Furthermore it can complicate with Cardio vascular Disease and Metabolic Syndrome. Psoriasis is commoner in obese persons that can also result in the development of hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia can result in gouty arthritis. All Psoriatic patients to be monitored for hyperuricemia and early intervention of the same through therapeutic regimens can avert the development of metabolic syndrome and coronary artery diseases. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) denotes the articular component of the systemic psoriatic disease and the extra-cutaneous disorder most frequently found in patients with Psoriasis. Apart from the involvement of the joints, PsA is associated with several metabolic disorders like insulin resistance, hypertension, diabetes and hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia in Psoriasis and PsA is due to the increased cellular turnover characterized typical of this disorder . The hyperproliferation of keratinocytes culminates in the accelerated nucleic acid catabolism and enhanced uric acid synthesis. However, hyperuricemia might also derive from an increased uric acid production in the liver. The overwhelming cytokines synthesis in PsA, in particular IL-17, can affect the liver, leading to hepatic complications such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Psoriatic patients treated with allopurinol showed marked improvement of skin lesions and decreased Serum Uric Acid in most cases. The effects of the febuxostat therapy in patients with Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthrits and hyperuricemia led to the decreased serum levels of inflammatory markers such as IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α.

Isolated Hypertriglyceridemia can be inherent right from the childhood days but goes undetected as they are silent and symptom-less among the majority. This becomes quite alarming as it starts manifesting the glimpses of its drastic complications at a later age. The Terminology Hypertriglyceridemia is coined to high triglycerides (fats) in blood beyond the normal range. Normal triglyceride level in adults is up to 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). and when the level is enormously increased it raises the risk of Atherosclerosis ,Heart ailments and Pancreatic diseases. Majority with hypertriglyceridemia are symptomless and clueless. Individuals with severe hypertriglyceridemia may have xanthomas, that are skin bumps formed when lipids accumulated under your skin. The common causes of Hypertriglyceridemia include Dietary and Lifestyle factors and Genetic lipid disorders. Dietary and Lifestyle factors have powerful influence on the triglyceride level resulting in the conversion of extra calories into triglycerides A genetic disorder with dietary and lifestyle factors usually combine to cause hypertriglyceridemia. The increased Serum triglyceride levels also leads to increased risk of cardiovascular disease in joining hands with other risk factors such as Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, and type 2 Diabetes mellitus. The increased risk of acute pancreatitis is another complication when serum triglyceride level is very high . A 10 -12 hours fasting serum lipid panel diagnoses hypertriglyceridemia. Certain causes like aging and some medical ailments can never be altered. Still a lot to be practiced in daily life to prevent hypertriglyceridemia. The suggested dietary and lifestyle are Eating regularly a heart-healthy diet and adopting an active Lifestyle involving planned regular exercise .

The Reconstruction of the “Metaphysical Good”: Morality in Taha AbdurrahmanrnIn this study, Taha Abdurrahman’s religion-based moral philosophy is analyzed in terms of its offering an alternative moral paradigm to the secular moral paradigm dominant in the New Age. In the first part of the study, new conceptualizations of moral philosophy are demonstrated. In this part, the history of moral philosophy is reread through the transformation of morality from the “metaphysical good” to the “ethical good”. In this section, the main lines of moral philosophy are discussed within the framework of the thoughts of certain philosophers, taking into account the change in the general paradigm in the field of morality. In the second part of the study, Taha Abdurrahman’s attempt to construct an alternative paradigm against the reduction of morality to the realm of individual preferences and freedoms is analyzed. Here, Taha Abdurrahman’s intellectual adventure, epistemological method, his approach to human nature, his approach to reason and his view of religion and morality are discussed. In this way, the question of how these ideas present a holistic structure -just like the paradigm of the ancient world- is revealed. In the end, the research, which reveals the general outlines of Taha Abdurrahman’s moral philosophy, is synthesized by considering the interrelatedness of the concepts he used.rnKeywords: Philosophy of Religion; Religion-Morality Relationship; Taha Abdurrahman; Metaphysical Good; Paradigm of Divine Contract and Trusteeship; Human; Religion; Morality; Reason

Theories of Substance in Islamic PhilosophyrnThe concept of substance, originating from ancient Greece and being multifaceted, is at the center of many discussions in Islamic Philosophy. The meaning attributed to substance shapes the course of thought and allows us to determine the philosopher’s perspective on existence. Substance is a concept that relates not only to logic but also to physics and metaphysics. The definition of substance in logic highlights the subject in the definitional sentence, while in physics and metaphysics, its self-sufficiency is emphasized to exist. In the metaphysical field, especially mental thought processes about simple substances provide facilities for different interpretations of substance. Undoubtedly, these areas are not completely independent of one another. Therefore, the evaluations are also not made completely independently. Considering that the Islamic Philosophy consists of philosophical thoughts produced in the Islamic geography, we aimed to examine the topic by including views from the fields of kalam and Islamic mysticism due to their use of philosophical concepts. At the end of the study, we attempted to develop some suggestions related to the modern period.rnKeywords: Islamic Philosophy; Substance; Qualities; Individual Substance; Simple Existence; Composite Existence
Kültür Bilimi ve Doğa Bilimi
Authors: Rickert Heinrich
Published: February 2025

Cultural Science and Natural SciencernHeinrich Rickert’s Culture Science and Natural Science is a seminal work that explores the methodological foundations and epistemological distinctions between the sciences. Rickert analyzes the theoretical and methodological differences between natural sciences and cultural sciences. While natural sciences adopt a generalizing approach by identifying laws and patterns in nature, cultural sciences focus on individualizing methods to interpret singular events within their historical context. The core argument of Rickert’s work is that sciences are shaped not only by physical reality but also by values. According to him, cultural sciences rely on values to select and interpret historical events, and without these values, history as a discipline would be impossible. For instance, the significance of a revolution lies in its connection to specific social or moral values. In this framework, Rickert distinguishes cultural sciences from natural sciences while asserting that both fields possess their own internally consistent methodologies. The book also provides a thorough critique of positivism. Rickert challenges thinkers arguing that limiting sciences to empirical data overlooks the individuality and meaningfulness of cultural sciences. Unlike the positivist perspective, Rickert emphasizes that cultural sciences are fundamentally grounded in values, making them indispensable for understanding human history. Rickert’s work contributes significantly to the philosophy of science, historiography, and cultural theory. Culture Science and Natural Science not only addresses the division between sciences but also serves as a guide to fundamental questions about humanity’s intellectual and historical endeavors. This text is an essential resource for those interested in methodology and values in philosophical inquiry, offering profound insights into the epistemological basis of scientific thought.rnKeywords: Cultural Sciences, Natural Sciences, Philosophy of Values, Critique of Positivism, Historical Methodology, Individualizing Method, Generalizing Method, Classification of Sciences, Value; Meaning; Concept Formation.

The Position of Religion in Today’s Mother-Daughter RelationshipsrnUnder the influence of modernisation, significant changes are taking place in people’s lives in Turkey as in the whole world. There are ruptures in religious and cultural values, in the way religious and conservative families perceive and live religion. The aim of the study is to reveal how the social changes experienced at the national level in Turkey affect the ways of perceiving and living religion in the relationships between families and their daughters in Rize province. In order to make a comparison, the study was conducted with 11 mothers and their 13 daughters using a semi-structured interview form. As a result of the research, it was understood that the conservative/religious understanding in Rize province generally resists modernisation. Nevertheless, in the daily lives of mothers, traces of modernisation can be seen in addition to their conservative/religious attitudes. For the daughters of the mothers, they shape their lives with a more modern understanding of religion than their mothers; we can talk about a secularisation in which the influence of religion decreases and descends from the public to the individual sphere, rather than a secularisation in which religion is not in their livesrnKeywords: Sociology of religion; contemporary mothers and their daughters; secularisation; modernisation; social change

Types of Hijab and Their Relation With SocietyrnThe emergence of modest fashion has led to significant changes in the clothing of Muslim women. In recent years, the activities of modest fashion brands and the influence of social media influencers have accelerated these changes. This situation has resulted in an increase in the variety of covering styles. The conceptual framework section of the research will address the changes experienced by Turkish women in modest clothing and their underlying reasons. The prevalent clothing styles of Muslim women today will be presented through an examination of modest typologies. In contrast to traditional and uniform covering typologies (such as the chador, ferace, and overcoat), the emergence of new modest styles has attracted societal attention and sparked various discussions. Particularly, the increased use of modern pieces in modest fashion and the proliferation of unconventional styles are among the main subjects of criticism. The research focuses on how covered women interpret themselves in light of the discussions surrounding them. In this context, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 individuals who possess different modest styles in their daily lives. The findings from the research indicate that societal perceptions of modesty play a significant role in how individuals understand themselves. It has been determined that the judgments and expectations imposed by society regarding modesty often overshadow individuals’ own identities.rnKeywords: Sociology of Religion; Hijab; Types Of Hijab; Society; Hijab Fashion; Identity

Constitutional Monarchy period can be described as a period of crisis and depression in which solutions were sought for the unstoppable regression of the Ottoman State. Many intellectuals of the period thought that the quickest way out of this crisis was through education. Ziya Gökalp and Satı Bey were among the important intellectuals who believed that the Ottoman society would come out of its current state of crisis through education.rnZiya Gökalp, the ideologue of the Committee of Union and Progress (İTC) and Turkism, and Satı Bey, the author of the first pedagogy book in the Ottoman State and the director of Dârülmuallimîn, the ideas they put forward, their views on education, their performer aspects and their qualities as “educator-intellectuals” draw attention. For this reason, these two names were chosen as the subjects of the research in order to understand the problems of the period regarding education and to shed light on today; the aim of the study was determined as “Comparison of Ziya Gökalp and Satı Bey’s Educational Mentalities of Ottoman Intellectuals”. For this purpose, the two educator-intellectuals’s “What are their views on education? What is the intellectual background of these views? What are their ideals of human and society?” answers to questions were sought.rnThe study was planned as a qualitative research and data were collected from documents by applying a case study design. The educational views of the two thinkers were limited to the books and articles they wrote during the Ottoman period.rnAccording to the findings obtained from the research, while Ziya Gökalp assigned the task of transferring “culture” to education within the framework of the concept of “national education”, with his claim of “pedagogical education” Satı Bey believes that education is tasked with maximizing the individual’s abilities.rnAnahtar Kelimeler: Education, Ottoman State, II.

The impact emitted by the elimination of contaminating residues led to an investigation of techniques and materials capable of solving this demand. Biomass is an abundant material, making it promising for the study of adsorption reactions of waste discharged into industrial effluents. Some methods increased the adsorption efficiency, such as Advanced Oxidative Processes (POAs). The availability and low cost of coconut shell becomes viable in the use of adsorption processes associated with POAs to decompose dyes in industrial waste. In this work, iron catalysts from the green coconut shell impregnated with this metal were prepared, and tests were carried out to study the decomposition of methylene blue. The harmful results that the Fenton process associated with adsorption was efficient in the degradation of the dye. All catalysts were active, with a sample containing 30% being the most effective, leading to 99.28% degradation after 30 minutes of reaction.

Surrounding the historic city of Diamantina, it is possible to find beautiful landscapes and natural attractions, among which is the Biribiri State Park (PEB), being one of the most visited. Throughout the year, this conservation unit is visited mostly by residents and students of the city, who take advantage to have contact with nature, practice adventure sports and bathe in its fresh waters. In this bias, the present study tries to verify the quality of the main bathing points of the PEB, given its relation with waterborne diseases: Poço da Água Limpa, Cachoeira Sentinela, Cachoeira dos Cristais and Córrego Ribeirão das Pedras (in Vila do Biribiri). The main physical, chemical and microbiological parameters of these waters were analyzed in the months of May, June, September, October and November, with emphasis on the last three. The parameters of temperature, total dissolved solids, color, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, quantification of anions (chloride, fluoride, nitrate, and sulfate) and quantification of thermotolerant coliforms were compared with the legislation of Conama and with the Normative Deliberation of the State of Minas Gerais. Positively, in the analyzed period, the results of the samples regarding the parameters were within the criteria established by the legislation for Class 1. Regarding the results of the microbiological tests, the waters were considered as their own and having as a subcategory excellent, being, therefore, suitable for leisure and recreation activities that involved direct contact with it.

Pathologies are present in many buildings due to several factors such as lack of technical responsibility of the work, poor project execution, lack of design or use of low-quality materials. Thus, this work arose from the need to present a treatment plan for the pathological manifestations found in a building in the central region of Curvelo, located in the state of Minas Gerais, proposing solutions to mitigate them. The methodology of this article involves four stages, the first consists of a literature review, the second is a case study, where a cadastral survey of the place where the problem is found, along with the photographic record of the pathologies found. In the third stage is made the analysis of pathologies, while in the fourth and last stage is proposed the solution of the problems found, where it was decided to perform a structural reinforcement with metal plate to contain the propagation of cracks.
