Authors: ÇİFTÇİ Nurettin
Published: September 2023

Mü’minlerin Hz. Nebî’ye karşı vazifeleri vahiyle belirlenmiş olup bu konuda en fazla görev Aḥzāb sûresinde geçmektedir. Sûrede mü’minlerin önemli vazifelerinden biri 56. âyette geçen “salât” emridir. Tefsirlerde “salât” kelimesine öncelikle lügat kitaplarındaki anlamları esas alınarak “rahmet”, “dua” “istiğfar” gibi manalar verilmektedir. Bu konuda gelen rivâyetlerde de “ona salât edin” emrinden “Allahumme salli ….” dualarını okumak kastedildiği aktarılmaktadır. Kelimenin sözlüklerde geçen manalarından ve rivâyetlerde geçen ifadelerden öncelikle rahmet, dua ve istiğfar kastedildiği anlaşılmakla beraber âyetin sûre bütünlüğü ve bağlamı göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, kelimenin bu anlamların yanı sıra “desteklemek” anlamına da gelebileceğini söylemek mümkündür. Bu çalışmada “salât” kelimesinin sûre bütünlüğü ve bağlamı içindeki anlamı üzerinde durulacaktır.

Inter-textualization of David Hawkes’ Translation Notes and The Translated Text of The Story of the Stone
Authors: Asaba Chi Derek
Published: September 2023

Intertextuality as a literary discourse strategy is used to create an interrelationship between texts and generate related understanding in separate works. The classic Chinese novel Hongloumeng, widely acclaimed as the epitome of Chinese literature, is well known for its complex plot, linguistic complexities and philosophical allusions. British born sinologist David Hawkes, in an ultimate fusion of exquisite Chinese scholarship and profound understanding of both Chinese and Western literary canons, created an astounding new text that reincarnates Cao’s Hongloumeng in The Story of the Stone. While the success of Hawkes’ translation has largely been attributed to his profound knowledge and linguistic ability, the role played by his translation notebook has almost been glossed over, with most research activities on the English translation of the eighteenth century classic confined to the traditional source text-target text binary approach. This paper applies methodologies from literary studies to examine the interplay between Hawkes’ translation notes and the translated text. The study argues that besides Hawkes’ linguist skills and wide scholarship, his translation notes played a fundamental role in his exceptional English rendition of Cao Xueqin’s magnum opus. This is a case study that seeks to further highlight the importance of extratextual material in the systematic investigation and understanding of translational activity.

Published: September 2023

Digital solutions have greatly progressed the automation of procurement functions across industries, including real estate. This study focused on analyzing the effectiveness of in-house-developed applications compared to outsourced systems on the procurement efficiency of property developers. Regardless of the company size, procurement involves several steps to obtain the goods and services needed for the business. One of the distinct functions of the procurement department is to ensure that purchased materials, or services conform to specified requirements at the most economical but good quality and in favorable terms. Streamlining systems, procedures, and processes, overcoming operational challenges, and establishing a sound business culture with well-integrated solutions are the objectives of digitization. This research study aims to ascertain the efficacy of internally developed systems versus externally obtained software for procurement efficiency of real estate developers in Makati City, Philippines, with 65 respondents. The researchers aim to examine the respondents’ perception of the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of in-house-developed systems compared to outsourced applications in achieving procurement efficiency with consideration of the company size and users’ age group. The researchers made use of descriptive and explanatory research methods for the investigation of the significant relationship and differences between the two digital platforms. The results of the study show several significant implications. The demographic profile of the respondents plays a relevant role in the assessment of the effectiveness of internally developed software versus outsourcing for procurement efficiency. Distinct differences were observed in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use between in-house-developed systems and outsourced systems. The findings indicate that individuals who utilize outsourced systems tend to exhibit a greater inclination towards strongly agreeing that their productivity is enhanced and their job performance is improved when utilizing such systems. Conversely, the findings revealed that participants who utilized internally developed systems exhibited a greater propensity to strongly agree that acquiring proficiency in the system and enhancing their skillset was a comparatively effortless endeavor. This study provides recommendations for procurement professionals, property developers, future researchers, and national and local governments to maximize the use of digital platforms for productivity and operational efficiency.

Authors: Haider Ali , Mahdawi Esam Nedhal , Nasef Minoosh , Shatla Emad , Nair Arun
Published: September 2023

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality to both mother and fetus. It is defined as the development of hyperglycemia during pregnancy in women who were not previously diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) (1). Diagnosis usually occurs during the 24th to 28th weeks of gestation (1). The prevalence of GDM varies worldwide and was reported to be in Bahrain in 2012 at 10.1% of pregnancies, which was increased from 7.2% in 2002 (6). For this study, a total sample of 10,865 patients was used, dating from May 2016 to January 2020. The sample size is set in King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH), Kingdom of Bahrain. They were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data collected included the GDM status of the mother (GDM or Non-GDM), gestational age of the fetus (weeks), birth weight (grams) of the fetus, length (centimeters) of the fetus, head circumference (centimeters) of the fetus and placental weight (grams) upon delivery. In our study, the results showed an increase in anthropometric measurements in infants born to GDM mothers. 10 out of 200 (5%) neonates had a macrocosmic birth weight in GDM infants. However, when comparing to the birth weight, p= 0.940 was found, showing a non-significant difference between both groups. There was a faster acceleration in head circumference in neonates born to mothers with GDM, and there was no significant difference in average head circumference between both groups. Moreover, 153 out of 200 (76%) of the GDM group had a placental weight of more than 500 grams, whereas 179 out of 200 (89.5%) of the non-GDM group had a placental weight of more than 500 grams. GDM is a common yet serious complication encountered throughout pregnancy, most commonly via routine screening. One of the commonly observed outcomes of GDM in pregnancy is increased fetal growth through various mechanisms, which can result in an increased risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study helps to reaffirm that routine screening of GDM is required, and perhaps placental weight is another factor to be taken into consideration after further study as an indicator of fetal growth and GDM progression.

Authors: Begum Hamida , Rashid M , Shamima H , Zohra F
Published: September 2023

Vaginal cancer, rarest form of gynaecological cancer (0.6%) has been found to be associated with long term use of vaginal ring pessary, which have long been used in alternative management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) other than surgery. A through survey was done in remote areas of Cox’s bazar, refugee camp where out of 52 cases of pelvic organ prolapse, 7 cases found to use vaginal ring pessary for long and out of 7, vaginal cancer developed in 4 cases. All of them were aged women above 60 and had defaulted follow up presented with vaginal bleeding, varying discharge and pain of varying intensity. One patient had only local lesion was treated by surgical removal followed by radiotherapy. The 2 nd  one, 68 years, received neo-adjuvant therapy and died before planned surgery. The 3 rd  one, aged 79, did not come for follow up after diagnosis of vaginal cancer done and advised for definitive surgical treatment, family refused operation and she passed away after 2 years at 81 years. The 4 th  one declined further investigations and any form of treatment once diagnosed with vaginal cancer. So, all patients of pelvic organ prolapse should be informed thoroughly (both verbal and written informed consent) before inserting pessary for potential long term serious consequences where strict compliance must be ensured for subsequent regular follow up and biopsy should be mandatory for any suspicious chronic vaginal ulcers among them.

Published: September 2023

In South Asia, agriculture heavily relies on groundwater for irrigation. The withdrawal is nearly 250 km3 annually. Approximately, 12 million electric and 10 million diesel water extraction pumps, totaling about 22 million, are in use in this area. In contrast, while PV-powered solar irrigation pumps are becoming more popular, they take up agricultural land, increasing the competition for land resources between food and clean energy production. It is left unattended during the off-season, wasting a lot of potential solar power that could produce green electricity. To address this, an integrated farming model can be established, utilizing existing solar pump facilities for crop cultivation, rearing Black Bengal Goats, and native fish farming. This diversified approach combines sustainable energy solutions with solar irrigation, generating both agricultural products and electricity while maintaining agricultural land for cultivation and promotion of clean energy production. The proposed method has produced both agricultural products and electricity simultaneously. This integrated system offers a solution to the challenges faced in the region, balancing food production and clean energy goals effectively.

The assessment of clinical competence is one of the most difficult tasks facing medical education. Teaching and assessment need to be meaningful for the students and their relevance in real life context and challenges should be apparent. Ideally, assessment tasks should require students to use the same competencies, or combinations of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they need to apply in their future professional life. However, for the medical teachers of our country the term “authentic assessment” is very new, as most of them are very stick to traditional assessment while running a course or training students in different medical colleges. Clinical competence is an extremely complex construct and one that requires multiple, mixed, and higher order methods of assessment. As we have experienced a recent pandemic situation, it seems that plenty of questions remain in relation to clinical competence assessment in medical colleges for now and near future. In authentic assessment, students will go beyond the textual reproduction of fragmented and low order content and move towards understanding, establishing relationships between new ideas and previous knowledge, linking theoretical concepts with everyday experience, deriving conclusions from the analysis of data, allowing them to examine both the logic of the arguments present in the theory, as well as its practical scope. That is why we are moving away from traditional, limited test formats to new, more complex, yet innovative, mixed methods of ‘authentic’ assessment – from faculty observation ratings and paper-and-pencil examinations to online MCQ tests, SBA questions, experimentation with advanced OSPE and OSCE, and project-based assessment supplemented with clinical reasoning. These moves are expected to bring not only several challenges but also great educational rewards for the measurement and advancement of clinical competence among students. We would like to continue to work on those progressions.

Published: September 2023

Myocardial noncompaction (NC) is usually seen isolated; however, sometimes other congenital heart abnormalities may accompany the myocardial noncompaction. Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a genetic anomaly where the ventricular wall is replaced by thick ventricular trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses held together by a thin compacted layer. The most common site of involvement is the left ventricle, with right ventricular involvement being reported in a few cases. Isolated right ventricular noncompaction (RVNC) is rare yet life-threatening if left untreated. Genetic testing may identify possible mutation of gene. Early diagnosis of NC is very important for disease management. The management of associated other cardiac pathologies simultaneously will help improve the symptoms and prognosis in patients with noncompaction. Here we report a case of 60-year-old male patient presenting with heart failure due to cardiomyopathy with biventricular noncompaction. The case is being presented as an academic interest.

Türkiye’nin güneydoğusunda, Şanlıurfa’nın 15 km kuzeydoğusunda bulunan Göbekli Tepe, konum olarak avcı-toplayıcılıktan tarıma geçiş sürecinin yaşandığı bölgenin tam ortasında kalır. Bu alan, çakmaktaşı işleyicileri ve silah imal edenler tarafından inşa edilmiş ve radyo karbon analizleri neticesinde de en az 1400 yıllık bir süre boyunca kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Göbekli Tepe’nin bölgedeki büyük bir alana yayılan kültün veya ortak bir inanç anlayışının en büyük temsilcisi olduğu değerlendirilmektedir. Bu bağlamda; Dicle Vadisi’nde Batman, Hasankeyf, Suriye’nin kuzeyinde de Fırat Vadisi’nde yer alan yerleşimlerde de benzeri semboller görülmüştür. Dolayısıyla, bu durumun sadece tek bir yerleşime özgü olmadığı, benzer niteliklere sahip yapıların Neolitik Dönemin ilk aşamalarına tarihlenen birçok yerleşmede de olması nedeniyle Göbekli Tepe’yi, 120 km’lik bir alandan fazlasına yayılan bir kültürel ve sosyal ağ üzerindeki toplulukların bir araya geldiği “merkezi alan” olarak düşünebiliriz. Bu çalışmada Göbekli Tepe’yi kapsayan araştırmalar ve bilim adamlarının görüşleri yukarıda bahsi geçen eksende değerlendirilmiş olup, eldeki veriler ışığında “tapınak”, “toplumdaki organizasyon ve işbirliği”, “semboller” gibi Göbekli Tepe’ye ilişkin çalışmalarda konu başlıkları üzerine fikirler öne sürülmüştür. Alanı keşfeden Klaus Schmidt’in konu ile ilgili tezleri ve kazı raporları yeni fikirler için çıkış noktalarını oluşturmakta ve ilerisi için düşünceleri zenginleştiren analizler sunmaktadır. Bunların yanı sıra, konuyla ilgilenen diğer arkeolog, tarihçi ve din bilimcilerin görüşleri de değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: September 2023

This analysis aims to see whether 6-shogaol could protect rats against D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced Hepatotoxicity. The Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n=6). Group 1 received a standard diet, Group 2 received an oral administration of 6-shogaol (20 mg/kg b.wt), Group 3 received an intraperitoneal injection of D-GalN (400 mg/kg b.wt) on 21st day, and Group 4 received an oral administration of 6-shogaol (20mg/kg b.wt) for 21 days and D-GalN (400 mg/kg b.wt) injection only on 21st day. The hepatic marker enzymes activity, lipid peroxidative markers level increased significantly and antioxidant activity/level significantly reduced in D-GalN-induced rats. 6-shogaol Pretreatment effectively improves the above changes in D-GalN-induced rats. Further, inflammatory marker expression and MAPK signaling molecules were downregulated by 6-shogaol. These findings showed that 6-shogaol exerts hepatoprotective effects via the enhanced antioxidant system and attenuated the inflammation and MAPK signaling pathway in D-GalN-induced rats.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF DEEPBEAM
Authors: Rajkannan M , Yogavidhya V ,   Paavai Engineering College
Published: September 2023

Deep beam beams are used to lessen the selfweight, deflection, and shear of conventional reinforced concretebeams that are subjected to loading, which are the main issues. Deep beam beams cast with thermocol and weld mesh will be used in this project work instead of steel rebars, which are used in reinforced concrete beams. The shear strength assessment of supported cement footers has been the subject of a few examinations committed to decide the impact of the principal boundaries. When normal amounts of longitudinal reinforcement are utilized, the strength of the beams is typically controlled by shear strength rather than flexural strength due to the small value of the span-depth ratio. Experiments will be used to determine the yield strength and ultimate capacity of bending deep beam beams in addition to studies on shear. The purpose of the experimental work is to comprehend the various failure modes that could result from a potential combination of shear and bending moment acting at a specific section of a deep beam beam.The typical crack patterns, failure modes, and load- deflection behavior are to be reported in addition to highlighting the experimental setup.III. Concluding remarks are given in section IV.

Molecular properties such as high occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), low unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), the energy gap between HOMO and LUMO (∆E) and Physical properties, such as electronegativity (x), softness (s), hardness (η), chemical potential (μ), and electrophilicity index (ω), were studied to compare properties of these two compounds in relation to their molecular structure. Results show that the (∆E) values of compound 2 were reduced by the replacement of the hydrogen atom in compound 1 by nitrogen atom in compound 2. Consequently, the stability of compound 2 decreased and its activity increased. Additionally, compound 2 exhibited a high electronic chemical potential value and a low chemical hardness value indicating high levels of polarizability.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Inconel 625 alloy manufactured by direct energy deposition process. The Inconel 625 samples were produced by varying the laser scanning speeds from 720 - 960 mm/min while maintaining the same the laser energy volume density. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the produced samples were evaluated, and their dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties were also analyzed in terms of the laser scanning strategy. Microstructural observations at the same energy density revealed a dendrite substructure near the laser melt pool boundaries, indicating that the dendritic microstructure was primarily formed at the beginning of the solidification of each laser bead. When the solidification further progressed into the melt pool, solidification cell substructures became dominant regardless of the laser scanning speed. The size of the solidification cell and the dendrite structure were nearly unchanged as laser scanning speed increased. This suggests that changing the laser scanning speed while maintaining the volumetric energy density does not significantly alter the solidification rates of the Inconel 625. As a consequence of the similar cell sizes, the samples produced with different laser scanning speed led to similar mechanical properties. When samples produced with two different scanning strategies, of unidirectional and 90o rotation, were compared, a better dimensional accuracy was obtained with the 90o rotation strategy, compared to that obtained with the unidirectional approach. Comparisons of mechanical properties obtained along different directions with the different laser scanning strategies revealed that the Inconel 625 produced by the laser direct energy deposition had pronounced anisotropic mechanical properties, and was the highest in strength but the lowest in maximum elongation along the laser scanning direction.

Utilization of agriculture waste as food additives increased significantly due to their potential health and nutritional attributes. Tomato crop is widely grown across the globe and generates large amount of waste in the form of tomato pomace during the processing of tomato. Dried tomato pomace has a higher shelf-life and easier for food fortification. Lassi is a traditional Indian dairy product consumed as a refreshing beverage during summer. Considering the various health and nutritional benefits of tomato pomace present study was undertaken to supplement tomato pomace in lassi. Tomato pomace powder (TPP) was prepared by tray drying at 55-60 °C for 16-18hrs. Pomace had 16.70% protein, 57.53% crude fibre, and 49.80%2, 2 diphenyl-1-picryl hydroxyl (DPPH) inhibition activity, 311.7mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100g total phenolic content(TPC). Supplementation of tomato pomace was done at different rates of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0% (w/v) of milk during the heating of milk. 1% tomato pomace added lassi had a better sensory score and physico-chemical properties with an overall acceptability score of 7.5. In, addition 1 % tomato pomace lassi had 2.53% fat,2.67% protein, 18.81% total solids, 0.66% ash, 21.81% DPPH inhibition antioxidant activity and 12.37 mg GAE/100 g. Tomato pomace powder added lassi was found stable up to 12 days of storage study while the control sample (without tomato pomace)was unacceptable after 9 days of storage. Lassi supplemented with tomato pomace rich in fibre and antioxidant activity. Utilization of tomato pomace in lassi fortification can be better alternative for tomato processor as lassi consumed very large segment of population.

Functional herbal yoghurt was developed by incorporating Hibiscus rosa sinensis flower extract at one and two per cent levels. The developed yoghurt was evaluated for physico - chemical parameters, anti-oxidant activity and sensory qualities. Incorporation of hibiscus has significantly increased the anti-oxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of control yoghurt and yoghurt incorporated with one and two per centhibiscus flower extract were 14.4±0.66, 19.78±0.66 and 36.32±0.66per cent respectively. The titratable acidity increased with respect to the increase in concentration of hibiscus extract and period of storage. There was a significant increase in total solids content in yoghurt incorporated with two per cent hibiscus extract. Hibiscus incorporation had also increased the syneresis percentage of yoghurt. Calcium and Iron content of yoghurt increased significantly in hibiscus incorporated yoghurt. Control yoghurt had 88.97±1.56 and 1.14 ±0.01 mg/100 g of calcium and of iron respectively. Yoghurt incorporated with one and two percent hibiscus extract had 124.88±1.67 and 224.8±1.93 mg/100 g of calcium and 1.43 ±0.01 and 1.92 ±0.01mg/100 g of iron respectively. No significant difference was observed in the fat percentage of yoghurt incorporated with hibiscus. Sensory quality of yoghurt was not altered significantly due to the incorporation of hibiscus flower extract. The study revealed that hibiscus flower extract can be incorporated into yoghurt to improve the anti- oxidant property, calcium and iron content of yoghurt without affecting the sensory qualities.

Published: September 2023

This study is aimed to investigate and compare the physicochemical and sensory quality parameters which are associated with the freshness of the developed Custard apple juice milk beverage (CAJMB) subjected to cold plasma (CP)technology. The developed beverage was subjected to CP generated from two different configurations of Dielectric Barrier Discharge plasma (DBD) viz., High Voltage Atmospheric Cold Barrier Discharge plasma system (HV ACBD plasma system)and High Voltage Cold Barrier Discharge (HVCBD) Plasma torch/Gun using Argon gas. The treatments were performed for different processing times (2 & 3 min) at an applied voltage gradient of 35 kV and 30 kV respectively. The treatments did not have any potential change in the sensorial quality attributes evaluated immediately after processing compared to untreated control sample. However, a noteworthy difference was observed in pH and titratable acidity after processing, directly proportional to increase in treatment conditions concerning voltage and processing time. The pH and acidity at defined intervals during storage showed a slow rate of reduction as compared to the control. In the control sample levels of pH and acidity reached to an unacceptable range in 3 to 5 days of storage, due to the formation of lactic acid by subsequent microbial growth. Whereas, CP treated sample using HV ACBD plasma system at35kV for 3min exhibited promising results among other treatments and remained stable at refrigerated condition, with pH and acidity levels within the expected acceptable range for 9 to 10 days of storage.
