Kur’ân Meâllerinde Kitâb-ı Mukaddes’ten Atıf Yapma Problemi: “Aziz Kur’ân” Meâli Özelinde Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Şen Ercan
Published: April 2024

Kur’ân meâllerinin kaleme alınış sebepleri farklılık arzettiği için meâller kendi içerisinde yöntemsel bazı farklılıklar taşımaktadır. Bu metodolojik farklılıklar, meâllerin yapısal özelliklerinden muhtevasına kadar oldukça geniş bir yelpazeyi kapsamaktadır. Bu anlamda kimi meâller birebir kelimeye odaklanırken, kimileri anlam ve yoruma odaklanmış, kimileri üslubun merkeze alınmasını öncelemiş, kimileri de âyetlerin daha iyi anlaşılması adına açıklayıcı notlara daha fazla yer vermeyi tercih etmiştir. Bunların yanı sıra son dönem meâllerinde muhteva bakımından dikkat çeken bir özellik de Kitâb-ı Mukaddes’ten gerek mukayese gerekse âyetlerdeki bazı bilgileri destekleme amaçlı yapılan iktibaslar olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu bakımdan Muhammed Hamidullah’ın (öl. 2002) Fransızca olarak kaleme aldığı ve Türkçemize “Aziz Kur’ân” ismiyle tercüme edilen meâlinin oldukça zengin bir içeriğe sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Zira bu meâlde diğerlerinden farklı olarak Kitâb-ı Mukaddes’e ve Ehl-i Kitap kaynaklarına sıkça atıf yapılmıştır. Buradan hareketle çalışmamızda, meâl edebiyatında pek fazla rastlanmayan Kitâb-ı Mukaddes’e atıf yapma eğilimini nasıl anlamak gerekir ve bu yöntemin meşru bir zemini var mıdır? Bu yöntemin İsrâiliyat’a başvurma olgusuyla ilişkisi bulunmakta mıdır? gibi bazı sorular ışığında Kur’ân meâllerinde Kitâb-ı Mukaddes’e atıf yapma problemi üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışmamızda tartıştığımız hususları somutlaştırmak adına “Aziz Kur’ân” meâlinin tamamında atfa konu olan âyetler konuları itibariyle tematik bir tasnife tabi tutulacak ve böylelikle söz konusu Kitâb-ı Mukaddes atıflarının meâllere yansıtılması ile Kur’ân’ın mesajının daha iyi anlaşılır olup olmadığı gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Published: April 2024

The present study investigates the relation between derivations and hyperideals on ordered hyperrings with no zero divisors. Also, we identify some results for the ordered hyperrings induced by the homomorphism of the ordered hyperrings by derivations. The present work explores some aspects of derivations in ordered hyperrings. Also, we establish some results in connection  with homomorphisms and hyperideals. Furthermore, we describe prime hyperideals associated to a derivation $d$ on an ordered hyperring $T$ and derive several results about homomorphisms and derivations on ordered hyperrings.

Published: April 2024

The paper develops a novel analysis of mutual interactions between topology and soft topology. It is known that each soft topology produces a system of crisp (parameterized) topologies. The other way round is also possible. Namely, one can generate a soft topology from a system of crisp topologies. Different methods of producing soft topologies are discussed by implementing two formulas. Then, the relationships between the resulting soft topologies are obtained. With the help of an example, it is demonstrated that one formula is more constructible than the other. Now, it is reasonable to ask which (topological) properties of a soft topology can be transferred to the set of crisp topologies, or the opposite. To address this question, we consider the standard separation axioms and show how well these axioms can be preserved when moving from a system of crisp topologies to the soft topology generated by it and contrariwise. Additionally, our findings extend and disprove some results from the literature.

Published: April 2024

Deep learning, especially convolutional neural networks (CNN), has gained traction in the field of image classification. In the specific case of plant disease classification, improving the accuracy and reliability of image classification is paramount. This paper delves into the ensemble prediction technique using a weighted soft-voting method. Instead of assigning a generalized weight to each CNN model, our approach emphasizes giving weights to each label's prediction within every individual model. We employed three esteemed CNN architectures for our experiments: DenseNet201, InceptionV3, and Xception focusing on classifying various diseases affecting grapes. By harnessing transfer learning coupled with end-to-end fine-tuning, we achieved a streamlined and efficient training process. Notably, the f1-score for each grape disease class was used as a parameter for weight determination and as a metric for the final evaluation. In our study, the newly proposed method was tested across various datasets and ensemble scenarios, demonstrating its effectiveness by not only outperforming the conventional soft-voting and prevalent weighted soft-voting methods, which achieved best scores of 95.68% and 95.81% respectively, but also by achieving a remarkable accuracy of 96.56%. This method's efficacy is heightened when ensemble models exhibit distinct characteristics; the more varied the model characteristics, the more enhanced the ensemble results.

Do FDI And Trade Openness Affect Economic Growth Differently Across Income Groups? Case Studies From Asian Countries
Authors: Sugözü İbrahim Halil , Dorbonova İraima
Published: April 2024

This study examines the nexus between foreign direct investment (FDI), trade openness (TRO) and economic growth for selected 11 high-income and 22 middle- and low-income Asian countries within a model using a more recent panel dataset over the period 2000–2021. The cointegration test has been applied in this study, which shows that whether there is a long-term interrelationship between FDI and economic growth, which we focus on in particular, and then the covariance matrix estimators that are developed by Driscoll and Kraay are used. Our findings indicate that there is a positive relationship between FDI and TRO, and economic growth for high-income countries, whereas the relationship between FDI and economic growth is negative for middle- and low-income countries. This study provides insights on why governments and policy makers in developing countries should focus on prioritizing domestic investment and production strategies for sustainable economic growth rather than simply emphasizing the attractiveness of FDI and the indispensability of import-oriented trade liberalization.

Authors: Aydınlı Feridun , Akgöz Erkan
Published: April 2024

Dijital teknolojiler bireylere daha rahat ve verimli bir ortam sağlarken, diğer yandan psikolojik, fiziksel ve sosyal sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Bu olumsuz etkilerden kurtulmak için bireyler geçici de olsa tatil ve seyahatlerinde dijital teknolojilerden kaçınmak istiyorlar. Konaklama ve turizm endüstrisiyle ilgili işletmeler ise seyahat ederken Bilgi İletişim Teknolojilerinin (BİT) kullanımını azaltmak veya tamamen bırakmak isteyen bireyler için ürünler ve paketler oluşturmaktadır. Bu tür tekliflerin oluşmasıyla da dijital detoks adı verilen bir seyahat türü ortaya çıkmıştır. Nitel yaklaşımla turizm bölümünde görev yapan 16 akademisyenle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı, bireylerin teknoloji bağımlılığını belirlemek ve niş pazar olan dijital detoks turizminin tercih edilebilirliğini ortaya koymaktır. İçerik ve betimsel analizlerle elde edilen çalışma sonuçlarına göre, tatil ve seyahatlerde dijital teknoloji kullanımının genel olarak tatil deneyimini olumsuz etkilediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, bireylerin uzaklaşma, rahatlama ve yeni deneyimler kazanma amacıyla dijital detoks tatiline katılma eğilimi içinde oldukları belirlenmiştir. Yakın gelecekte BİT’lerin önemini kaybetmesi pek mümkün görünmese de bu araçların tüketimi kontrol edilmelidir. Bu noktada turizm işletmelerinin sahip olduğu bilgi ve farkındalık birey taleplerine karşılık verebilir ve pazar koşullarına esnek uyumu kolaylaştırabilir.

Double-Compressed Artificial Neural Network for Efficient Model Storage in Customer Churn Prediction
Authors: Lisang Zhou  , Zhang Huitao , Zhou Ning
Published: April 2024

In the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), efficiently storing and managing AI models is crucial, particularly as their complexity and size increase. This paper explores the strategic importance of AI model storage, focusing on performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability within the realm of customer churn prediction, utilizing model compression technologies. Deep learning networks, integral to AI models, have become increasingly large, necessitating millions of parameters. These parameters make the models computationally expensive and voluminous in storage requirements. Addressing these issues, the paper discusses the application of model compression techniques—specifically pruning and quantization—to mitigate the storage and computational challenges. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. These techniques reduce the physical footprint of AI models and enhance their processing efficiency, making them suitable for deployment on resource-constrained devices. Using these models in customer churn prediction in telecommunications illustrates their potential to improve service delivery and decision-making processes. By compressing models, telecom companies can better manage and analyze large datasets, enabling more effective customer retention strategies and maintaining a competitive edge in a dynamic market.
Evaluation of left ventricular function in normotensive type-2 dm patients by echocardiography
Authors: Dhirendra Kumar Gautam  , Abhijeet Kumar  , Jyoti Prabha
Published: April 2024

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing globally. Indians are also believed to have a greater degree of insulin resistance and a stronger genetic predisposition to diabetes. Type II DM is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular complications and these are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients. Left ventricular dysfunction, increased left ventricular wall thickness, increased left ventricular mass, and specific diabetic cardiomyopathy are some of the cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes. So the present study was performed to assess normotensive diabetic patients by echocardiography to evaluate their left ventricular function. A case control cross sectional study was conducted on 40 normotensive type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. 40 patients who were non-diabetic, non-hypertensive were taken as a control. A standard 2D echocardiography with M mode and Doppler was performed on case and control. In our study among 40 cases, 55% were male and 45% were female with mean age of case population being 47.5±7.24 year and among 40 controls, 50% were male and 50% were female with mean age 48.03±7.14 year. Mean BMI in case group was 29.49±2.37 kg/m2 and in control group 29.36±2.46 kg/m2. In our study we found that LVDD was present in 57.5% cases, 47.5% of cases had grade 1 LVDD whereas 10% had grade 2 LVDD. In comparison, only 10% of controls had LVDD with all of them having grade 1 LVDD. Also LV Systolic dysfunction, LVM and LVMI were higher in cases as compared to controls. Thus we concluded that the prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic, normotensive patients with type 2 DM without significant coronary artery disease is much higher than previously suspected as evidenced by the results of this study and also of similar other studies and it increases with the duration of Diabetes. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction, LVM and LVMH prevalence were also higher in cases as compared to controls and they also correlate with duration of Diabetes.

Published: April 2024

The problem of copra damage in storage warehouses by the warehouse pest Nercrobia rufipes is a serious matter because it can reach >10%, is not easy to overcome and causes significant losses. The aim of the study was to obtain the total population of N. rufipes (eggs, larvae, pupae and imago) and the intensity of damage in three storage warehouses in Ambon City.  This research was carried out using a survey method at Alam Mas Bersatu, Widya Abadi and UD Sepakat warehouses, from April to June 2018. Samples were taken from several piles blocks and 500 grams of copra sample were taken from each pile from each stratum (upper, middle and lower stratum). The parameters observed were damage symptoms, damage intensity and total population of N. rufipes pest.  The results showed that the highest intensity of N. rufipes pest damage was found in the Alam Mas Bersatu warehouse (35.92%) and was classified as moderate damage, followed by those those at UD Sepakat warehouse (21.43%) and Wadya Abadi (7.42%), both classified as light damage. The highest population of N. rufipes was found at the Alam Mas Bersatu warehouse, i.e. larva population (35.29 individuals), pupae (2.33 individuals), imago (6.43 individuals). At UD Sepakat warehouse, the population consisted of larvae (28.83 individuals), pupae (3.83 individuals) and imago (6.33 individuals). The lowest population was at Widya Abadi warehouse, consisted of larvae (5.83 individuals), pupae (0 or not found) and imago (0.5 individuals).
Communities of Practice and the Buddhist Education Reforms of Early-Twentieth-Century China
Authors: Boros Peter
Published: April 2024

Over the course of only a few decades during the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, part of mainstream Buddhist education underwent a striking shift in China. From being a secluded practice within monastery walls taught by monastics for monastics with a strict focus on Buddhist scripture, it became one where monastics and laypeople study together, guided by teachers, both monastic and lay, studying a curriculum of both Buddhist and secular subjects. Although general reforms within the Buddhist community of the times received considerable scholarly attention, the topic of education development was discussed in only a few instances. Therefore, the present article sets out to explore why this radical methodological shift happened, and more concretely, how the individual learning trajectories of the reforms’ leading actors, and their involvement in specific communities, influenced the way the reforms unfolded. The author analyses the work and life of three generations of Buddhist reformers, namely the layman Yang Wenhui, and the monastic masters Taixu, Hsing Yun and Cheng Yen, employing Étienne Wenger’s social theory of learning. The theory’s main assertion that communities of practice provide the main fora of learning for individuals, and its description of the concrete ways in which this learning takes place can provide new insights regarding the specific unfolding of late-nineteenth to early-twentieth-century Buddhist education reforms in China.
The Use of Vlogs and Collaborative Reflection in Teacher Education
Authors: Yaprak Zeynep
Published: April 2024

The primary purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of student teachers’ reflections initiated and supported by certain reflection prompts such as SAT (Self-Assessment Tool) and vlogs shared on a Google classroom. Within the context of practicum, ten teacher candidates were randomly recruited for the study. Quantitative data were analyzed through SPSS with the purpose of generating a summary of descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were employed in depth-analysis for the interpretation of emerged patterns and themes. In order to understand how collaborative reflections emerged and developed between the student teachers, discussion transcripts were analyzed and coded with discourse analysis. The results indicated that regular and collaborative reflections had important contributions to the participants’ teaching practice. Through finding the opportunities of having real classroom teaching experiences, sharing these practices, and getting new perspectives, student teachers have become more cognizant of their beliefs, teaching behaviors, and their teaching settings. On the way of being strong decision-makers of their future teaching, it can be highlighted that through the reflective practices enhanced with peer collaboration, teacher candidates have become more willing in reflecting and sharing their experiences and professional knowledge and more determined in practicing theory to deal with the problems in their classrooms.

Is Net Zero Necessary? Meeting the Paris Agreement Temperature Target with 39% Global Emissions Reductions by the 2070s
Authors: Spencer Roy
Published: April 2024

Global Carbon Project (GCP) data shows that natural processes have been sequestering atmospheric CO2 on a yearly basis in proportion to how much the atmospheric CO2 concentration has risen above pre-Industrial levels, the so-called CO2 “sink rate”. Here it is argued that the future trajectory of the sink rate has not been adequately addressed, which has led to overestimation of future atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and thus of global warming. Additionally, use of the CO2 “airborne fraction” concept has led to some misunderstanding regarding how natural processes remove CO2 from the atmosphere, including unrealistic projections of future sink rates. The 20 land models and 10 ocean models used to estimate rates of CO2 removal from the atmosphere produce a wide variety of results. The GCP averages all of these model results together to obtain a best estimate of the yearly CO2 fluxes. Based upon this average, assuming a linearly declining sink rate into the future derived from GCP data, emissions reductions of only 1% per year totaling 39% below 2023 emissions are required over the next 50 years to stabilize atmospheric CO2 near 457 ppm. Assuming the IPCC best estimate of climate sensitivity of 3 deg. C to a hypothetical doubling of atmospheric CO2, this would meet the 2015 Paris Agreement target of less than 2 deg. C of eventual global-average surface warming. But if observation-based estimates of climate sensitivity around 2 deg. C are assumed, then the 1.5 deg. C Paris goal is easily met. These results, though, are very dependent upon the assumed linear decrease of the future sink rates.

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a mental health condition marked by reduced food consumption, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body experience. Virtual Reality (VR) based techniques – i.e., Body-Swapping and Mirror Exposure techniques - offer promising avenues for addressing body disturbance in AN, allowing patients to embody virtual bodies varying in size and shape. We used a single-subject experimental design (SSED) to explore the potential of virtual reality multisensory experiences for mitigating body disturbance in AN . We examine the case of a 24-year-old female hospitalized with restrictive Anorexia Nervosa, who underwent a novel body-focused VR intervention alongside the hospital's standard care. The intervention included six bi-weekly sessions, wherein the patient was immersed in a VR environment that allowed her to embody a virtual body matching a healthy weight range. Through interactions with a virtual mirror, the patient was encouraged to concentrate on the body's positive aspects and functional abilities, thinking about its significance in her past, current, and anticipated future activities (Functional Mirror Exposure). The intervention effectively reduced body dissatisfaction, negative beliefs and body misperception. These preliminary findings endorse the efficacy of using immersive, multisensory, and embodied experiences to alter body consciousness and body-self relationship. Results then support the transformative potential of VR in improving traditional approaches to assess and alter body disturbance, both in terms of efficacy and therapeutical acceptance.

Pregnancy is a sensitive period of development in adult life characterized by massive changes in physical, emotional, and cognitive function. Such changes may be adaptive, e.g., facilitating adjustment to physical demands, and they may also reflect or contribute to risks inherent to this stage of life, e.g., prenatal depression. One cognitive ability that may undergo change during pregnancy and contribute to mental wellness is interoception - the ability to perceive, integrate, and model sensory information originating from the body. Strong interoceptive abilities are associated with lower rates of depression in non-pregnant adult populations, and interoception is generally weaker in individuals at higher risk for depression – e.g., due to exposure to early life adversity (ELA). In the present study, we investigated whether interoception in pregnant women differed based on histories of ELA, in ways that increased their relative risk for prenatal depression symptoms. The pregnant individuals were in the second trimester of their-first pregnancy and were compared to a group of nulliparous, non-parenting women. Previous exposure to ELA significantly moderated pregnancy-related differences in self-reported interoception (interoceptive sensibility). A further moderated-mediation analysis revealed that the extent to which interoceptive sensibility buffered against depressive symptoms, was conditional on ELA exposure, suggesting more ELA is associated with reduced interoceptive sensibility during pregnancy, which increased prenatal depression risk. Together this work suggests that levels of interoception during pregnancy are sensitive to previous adversity exposure. It also suggests that interoceptive-focused interventions for preventing/treating prenatal depressive symptoms in high-risk women may be worth exploring.

GRACE AFTER GENOCIDE
Authors: Mortland Carol A.
Published: April 2024

Grace after Genocide is the first comprehensive ethnography of Cambodian refugees, charting their struggle to transition from life in agrarian Cambodia to survival in post-industrial America, while maintaining their identities as Cambodians. The ethnography contrasts the lives of refugees who arrived in America after 1975, with their focus on Khmer traditions, values, and relations, with those of their children who, as descendants of the Khmer Rouge catastrophe, have struggled to become Americans in a society that defines them as different. The ethnography explores America’s mid-twentieth-century involvement in Southeast Asia and its enormous consequences on multiple generations of Khmer refugees.
Adolescents on Instagram
Authors: Knežević Lucija , Erceg Inja
Published: April 2024

For today’s adolescents it is hard to imagine a life without social media although it remains questionable how they affect the users’ subjective well-being. In order to better understand this impact, we examined the relationship of active and passive Instagram use with general self-esteem and explored whether benign and malicious envy and need for relatedness function as mediators of these relationships. Six hundred eleven high school students (76.9% female; age: M = 16.20, SD = 1.12) from the City of Zagreb participated in the online survey. The participants filled an item regarding their frequency of active Instagram use, the Benign and Malicious Envy Scale, the Need for Relatedness subscale (a part of the Basic Psychological Needs Scale) and the General Self-esteem subscale (a part of the Marsh’s Self-Description Questionnaire II). The results indicate the absence of a significant relationship between active Instagram use and general self-esteem. Neither benign nor malicious envy function as mediators of this relationship. However, the need for relatedness mediates the relationship between active Instagram use and general self-esteem: adolescents who engage more frequently in active Instagram use tend to have higher levels of need for relatedness satisfaction, which in turn relates to their higher levels of general self-esteem. The obtained results indicate that, contrary to the public perception, social media can have a positive impact in the life of adolescents, but when making such claims, it is crucial to consider the type of activities behind their usage.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ТА ПРОЯВИ ШКІЛЬНОГО БУЛІНГУ
Authors: МІХЕЄВА Людмила , ЧОРНИЙ Сергій
Published: April 2024

Статтю присвячено проблемі агресивних проявів у міжособистісних стосунках учнівської молоді. Авторами здійснено огляд деяких підходів вітчизняних та зарубіжних науковців щодо поняття «булінг». Визначено, що булінг (цькування) – це агресивна свідома або несвідома поведінка однієї дитини, групи дітей, молоді або будь-кого з дорослих щодо іншої дитини або дітей, що виражається у фізичному та / або психологічному жорстокому ставленні та поводженні. З’ясовано характерні особливості проявів булінгу в шкільному середовищі. Описано основні види (фізичний шкільний булінг; психологічний шкільний булінг: вербальний, соціальний; кібербулінг) та соціально-рольову структуру шкільного булінгу: булер (кривдник) – той, хто цькує, переслідує, завдає шкоду на фізичному або психологічному рівнях; жертва – дитина, яку переслідують і якій постійно завдають шкоди; спостерігачі, вони можуть бути активні (ті, хто підтримують булера та допомагають йому вчиняти шкідливі дії) та пасивні (не втручаються у процес цькування, а відсторонено спостерігають). Виокремлено фактори, що сприяють шкільному булінгу: сприятливе соціальне середовище; перевантаження школярів і вчителів, що призводить до емоційного вигорання; відсутність індивідуального підходу у навчанні й вихованні учнів; відсутність гармонії у стосунках між вчителями, що створює емоційно несприятливий клімат у педагогічному колективі; непідготовленість педагогів до гендерного виховання молодого покоління. Запропоновано заходи щодо запобігання випадкам шкільного булінгу, а саме: співпраця між адміністрацією освітнього закладу, вчителями, що передбачає особистісно-орієнтований підхід до навчання й виховання, психологами щодо надання фахової психологічної допомоги в умовах школи, батьками щодо забезпечення створення сприятливого сімейного середовища для розвитку дитини, учнями.
ФІЗИЧНА ТЕРАПІЯ ВІЙСЬКОВОСЛУЖБОВЦІВ З НАСЛІДКАМИ МІННО - ВИБУХОВОЇ ТРАВМИ НИЖНІХ КІНЦІВОК
Authors: ОДИНЕЦЬ Тетяна , КОВАЛЕНКО Яна
Published: April 2024

Сучасні військові конфлікти супроводжуються використанням значної кількості боєприпасів, які можуть призводити до мінно-вибухових травм різного типу. На сьогодні Україна перебуває в умовах повномасштабної війни, тому травми кінцівок у результаті мінно-вибухових подій є предметом особливого інтересу для медичних фахівців та спеціалістів з реабілітації через чисельні особливості в їхній діагностиці, патогенезу, лікуванні та процесу відновлення. Мета дослідження: теоретично обґрунтувати особливості фізичної терапії військовослужбовців з наслідками мінно-вибухової травми нижніх кінцівок. Методи дослідження. В роботі були застосовані методи теоретичного рівня дослідження: аналіз, порівняння, індукція, дедукція, систематизація та узагальнення науково-методичної літератури. Результати роботи. Загальнонауковий підхід до фізичної реабілітації військових з мінно-вибуховими травмами базується на впровадженні інноваційних методик, залученні мультидисциплінарних команд фахівців та постійному моніторингу результатів для постійного вдосконалення програм реабілітації. Фізична терапія повинна бути зосереджена на оптимізації процесу загоєння, відновленні біомеханічних зв’язків між нормальною та ушкодженою тканинами, а також на контролі болю та обмеженні життєдіяльності. Висновки. Таким чином, ефективна реабілітація військовослужбовців з мінно-вибуховими травмами вимагає глибокого розуміння специфіки поранень, індивідуальних особливостей постраждалих та використання інноваційних методик для забезпечення повноцінного відновлення фізичного та емоційного здоров'я.
