Türkiye miras koruma literatüründe, Osmanlı Devleti dönemindeki kazılar da dahil olmak üzere arkeolojik kazılar sonucu gün yüzüne çıkan ve müzelerde sergilenen objelerin konservasyon-restorasyon uygulamalarının tarihine ilişkin araştırmalar oldukça kısıtlıdır. Bu kısıtlı araştırmalar konunun irdelenmesi ve bilinmeyenlerin ortaya çıkarılması ihtiyacını doğurmuştur.Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilanının hemen akabinde başlayan müzecilik faaliyetleri ve müze objelerinin bilimsel yöntemlerle konservasyonu paralel ele alınması gereken konular olarak görülmüş ve müzelerin bünyesinde koruma-onarım çalışmalarını yürütecek mekânların tesisi derhal planlanmaya başlanmıştır. Bu örneklerin ilki olan Kimya Laboratuvarı, genel bilinen adıyla Kimyahane, İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri çatısı altında tesis edilirken Ankara müzelerinde de bu yönde adımlar atılmaya başlandığı görülür.Kimyahane’nin kurulmasını gerektiren ihtiyaçlar, laboratuvar olarak hizmet verecek mekânın seçimi, bu mekânın kullanılmak üzere iyileştirilmesi, gerekli tesisat ve aksamla donatılması ve laboratuvar olarak seçilen yapının özellikleri bu çalışmada kronolojik olarak aktarılmaktadır. Kimyahane binası ilk olarak tek odalı bir laboratuvarken ek bütçelerle binası genişletilmiş ve zaman içinde Heykel Atölyesi, Fotoğraf Atölyesi, fumigasyon istasyonu ve mulaj deposunun da eklenmesiyle oldukça kapsamlı bir konservasyon merkezine dönüşmüştür. Kapsamlı bir laboratuvara dönüşmüşken bu kuruluşun idari yapısının değiştirilmesi, yeni bir isim ve oluşum altında yeni binasına taşınması ve sonrasında geçirdiği süreç bu makalede ele alınmaktadır. Son olarak bu çalışmada halen restorasyonu süren Kimyahane yapısının günümüzdeki durumu hakkında bilgi verilmekte ve yapının Türkiye kültür tarihindeki önemine dikkat çekilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışma ağırlıklı olarak arşiv araştırmalarına dayanmaktadır. Başta İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri arşivi olmak üzere, Koç Üniversitesi, Suna Kıraç Kütüphanesi, Hadi Tamer Belgeleri Koleksiyonu, Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Aziz Ogan Belgeleri ve Kimyahane’de daha önce çalışmış uzmanların ailelerinin arşivleri bu çalışmanın bir araya getirilmesi için kullanılmıştır.

Authors:   ICERT, Pennsylvania, USA, Bhagoji Manisha D
Published: April 2024

The soft skill training courses discuss a lot of leadership qualities. Many other present and historical figures are studied as part of leadership study. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose as the name suggests exhibits a great number of qualities that made him a great leader. The present research paper focuses on the critical analysis of his qualities with the help of existing accounts of his works and contributions that made him a mighty and successful leader. Although several researchers speak about Netaji’s contribution to Nationalism and Independence, however considering his efforts from the Leadership Personality point of view, have rarely been studied before in detail as a soft skill project. Of course, his personality as a great leader is known to all maybe that’s the reason he is entitled to ‘Netaji’, but enumerating and elaborating his qualities with the modern perspective considering the latest traits of leadership in soft skills and critically evaluating the characteristics of his personality may broaden the sense of understanding of his leadership. This study may add some crucial points in the soft skill & personality development study to practice and help society create potential good leaders. Leaders can be made but creating the best leader is a need of time. Having the ideal model for great leaders to follow, and celebrating his qualities will influence the present distracted society to get back on track and work in the right direction in making the present generation a good leader/s.

Authors:   The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Sachin Susmita
Published: April 2024

Education is an all-encompassing lifetime process that is fundamental to every nation’s development. The world witnessed a major shift toward education and the different ways and modes of delivery of instruction to learners during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many approaches to the teaching-learning process came into existence during this time. Different ways of remote teaching-learning processes were explored. Post-pandemic it has become essential to be ready by adding and exploring some ways of teaching-learning processes which is uninterruptable and sustainable in the long run. Blended Learning can ace the race most effectively. The recent advances in technology and its user-friendliness are an added advantage. A Blended Learning approach incorporates technology with a normal face-to-face teaching pedagogy. The Blended Learning approach helps in overcoming the idea of learning once and from one place and by one instructor. It replaces this idea and helps the process of learning to be continuous, repeated, sustainable, and joyful. Blended learning allows the learner to customize his learning experience as it facilitates the advantages of control over time and space. The students of the upper primary level are at the cusp of enjoying autonomous learning. They start taking the onus of their work and success. This makes it an appropriate time to introduce Blended Learning. A flipped learning approach was employed in the present study. The subject of science being both experimental and theoretical also caters to multiple intelligence theory. The present study focuses on checking the efficacy of the intervention (with the help of e-books) by analyzing the achievement test scores of the control group and the experimental group. Blended learning was found to be an effective and sustainable option that can ensure uninterrupted study with a well-balanced approach in the long run.

Introduction: Numerous studies have identified the presence of insulin resistance (IR) so far in type 1 diabetes (T1D), for which the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is determined. Aim: Analysis of IR levels in patients with T1D and comparison according to the presence of chronic complications of diabetes. Material and methods: The research was done in the form of a retrospective analysis of the database of medical records of 180 patients of both sexes with T1D, disease duration greater than one year in the period 2016 - 2021, who were divided into two groups based on eGDR levels - IRG (N = 86 , eGDR < 8) and ISG (N = 94, eGDR ≥ 8). Results: Patients with IRG were statistically significantly older (39.35 ± 1.39 vs. 32.13 ± 0.90, p < 0.01), higher BMI (25.93 ± 0.59 vs. 21.78 ± 0.36 kg/m2, p < 0.01), HbA1c levels (9.63 ± 0.24 vs. 8.30 ± 0.15%, p <0.01) and daily insulin dose (46.51 ± 1.89 vs. 35.89 ± 1.34 j/day, p < 0.01) compared with ISG patients. At the same time, IRG patients had significantly higher cholesterol levels (4.97 ± 0.14 vs. 4.51 ± 0.10 mmol/l, p <0.01), LDL (2.97 ± 0.13 vs 2.51 ± 0.09 mmol/l, p < 0.01) and tgc (1.65 ± 0.16 vs. 1.01 ± 0.06 mmol/l, p < 0.01) compared to ISG. The IRG has a statistically significantly higher percentage of hypertension (97.27 vs. 2.73%, p < 0.01), retinopathy (25.83 vs. 14.57%, p < 0.01), neuropathy (31.79 vs. 25.16%, p = 0.021) and nephropathy (27.03 vs. 12.16%, p < 0.01) compared with ISG. Conclusion: Patients with T1D and IR were older, with higher BMI, HbA1c, and daily insulin doses, with a more atherogenic lipid profile, higher incidence of hypertension, and more frequent microvascular and macrovascular complications.

Gender-Based Power Differentials In Contraceptive Behaviour In India
Authors: Dr. Trishna Mani Thakuria
Published: April 2024

This paper critiques gender based power differentials in terms of contraceptive behaviour in India between partners involved in sexual relations. Thereby it attempts to look at the factors impedimenting women’s control over making sexual and reproductive health decisions and negotiating protection within their primary or other sexual relationships. Apart from this, the paper tries to locate and link bio-politics of state in the career of contraception in India with socio-cultural conception of contraception deep rooted in patriarchy which negates and impede role of women from the scene of family planning. Accordingly the knowledge, behaviour and attitude of men in regard to reproductive and sexual health of women are an aspect this paper takes within the fold to investigate through available literature. The practised and popular contraceptive methods which at many times  are  denigrating for women’s reproductive and sexual health as shown in many existing literatures on women health are also being tried to critically view as figurative of  patriarchal domain of  family planning from a feminist angle in this paper. With these observations where the female body becomes the field of patriarchal surveillance and dominance, an attempt is made to look forward for a shift in outlook arguing for acceptability of contraceptive methods which favour women’s reproductive and sexual health and accordingly lessens their burden of negotiation for safe sex. Hence in this paper, female condom will be seen as an important addition to method mix which is still underused and unpopular in patriarchal country like India but having a great potential to promote healthy sexual behaviours, and increase self-efficacy and sexual confidence in women.

One Health – One Welfare – One Rights
Authors: Peters Anne
Published: April 2024

The projected WHO Pandemic Agreement, as currently under negotiation, will most likely contain a detailed prescription of a One Health approach (Art. 1(d) and Art. 5 of the INB negotiating text of 30 October 2023). This contribution examines the legal potential of a One Health approach for laws and policies towards animals raised, kept, and slaughtered for providing meat, milk, fur, and other body products for human consumption. My main argument will be that, taken seriously, the idea of One health defies a hierarchy between the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems. The inner logic of One Health is to exploit the positive feedback loops between safeguarding human, animal, and ecosystem health. This approach should modify the still prevailing unreflected and unchecked prioritisation of measures in favour of human health at the expense of and to the detriment of animal health and life. I will illustrate my claim with two policy examples.
Impact of mulching and nutrient management under pulses based cropping systems on vertisols of southern transitional zone of Karnataka
Authors: MS Venkatesh  , SL Patil  , SB Revanappa
Published: April 2024

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulching and nutrient management under different pulse based cropping system during 2018-19 at Indian Institute Pulses Research, Regional Research Station, Dharwad, Karnataka, India. The field experiment was conducted in deep black soil using split-split plot design with three replications. The treatments comprised of four cropping systems i.e., maize-chickpea, soybean-chickpea, groundnut-chickpea and mungbean-sorghum and two levels of fertilisation (farmers practise and recommended rate of fertilisers) with mulching and without mulching. The pooled yield of different crops under cropping system was significantly higher with mulching and recommended rate of fertilizer application. Among the different cropping systems, maize-chickpea was recorded significantly higher chickpea equivalent yield (3867 kg/ha) compared to other cropping system. Application of recommended rate of fertilizers resulted in higher chickpea equivalent yield of 2794 kg/ha over farmers’ practice. Among the mulching practices, mulching with crop residues recorded significantly higher chickpea equivalent yield of 4257 kg/ha over no mulching (3754 kg/ha). Higher yields of component crops are reported in recommended rate of fertilisers with mulching. Hence, for realising higher system productivity and net returns, it is better to grow maize during kharif season followed by chickpea in rabi season with recommended rate of fertilisers and crop residue mulching for in-situ moisture conservation.
Identification of thermo tolerance urdbean [Vigna mungo (L) Hepper] genotypes using temperature induction response technique
Authors: Vijay Laxmi  , TN Tiwari  , Rinki Devi
Published: April 2024

High temperature stress in plants reduces crop yield because it negatively affects several plant physiological processes. Screening and identification of cultivars for high-temperature stress conditions is essential under changing environments. In the present study, the temperature induction response (TIR) technique was used for screening the high-temperature tolerant genotypes in urdbean (Vigna mungo (I) Hepper). In the present investigation, induction temperature and lethal temperature have been standardized based on percent growth reduction and survival percentage at the end of the recovery period. The induction temperature was observed at 38 to 48 ºC as sub-lethal i.e., challenging temperatures for 4 h and 30 min, while the lethal temperature was observed at 50 ºC for 3 h. This technique can be used as a potential tool to identify and select temperature-tolerant genotypes at the seedling stage from a large population. A total of nineteen urdbean genotypes were screened and evaluated for thermo tolerance. By using standardized optimum induction and challenging temperature, cellular level tolerance was assessed in the studied genotypes. Based on root length and shoot length of induced seedlings over control seedlings, the cellular level tolerance in terms of least reduction in growth and highest survival percentage was calculated and PGRU 95014 IPU 94-1, IPU 2K -22 and PGRU 95016 identified as heat tolerant genotypes. These can be used as donors in breeding programs.

Published: April 2024

The study was conducted on two mungbean varieties MH 1142 and MH 421 during Kharif 2023 to assess the effect of pod maturity on seed quality parameters of green gram (Vigna radiata) seeds. The results revealed that 42.88 g and 32.76 g test weight was observed in the MH 421 variety in the seeds extracted from mature and green (immature) pods respectively. In Variety MH 1142, the test weight was 40.51 g in seeds of matured pods and 20.83 in seeds of green pods. The germination of seeds extracted from mature pods was less (80.50%) than the seeds of green pods (88.00%) in MH 421 but germination of seeds extracted from matured pods was (88.00%) found at par with seeds of green pods (87.50%) in variety MH 1142. Seedling length was 38.93 cm and 31.67 cm in variety MH 421 while it was 40.03 and 33.60 cm in variety MH 1142 in seeds of matured pods and green (immature) pods respectively. Similarly, seedling dry weight was 0.241 mg and 0.172 mg in variety MH 421 and 0.223 mg and 0.122 mg in variety MH 1142 in seeds of mature pods and green pods respectively. It is concluded from the study that there is no difference in germination of seeds extracted from mature pods and green seeds, hence harvesting can be done when the plant bears the maximum number of mature pods.

Published: April 2024

The study was conducted as a prelude to research on employability skill development among the graduates of Arunachal Pradesh. It focussed on the difference in the perception of both employers as well as graduates concerning the skills essential to employability. Managing Directors of twenty companies mostly linked with manufacturing and financial sectors and 75 candidates who were either employed within a year of their graduation from any of the HEIs in the State or at least attended placement or job interviews responded to a questionnaire that dealt with the perceived importance of essential employability skills. According to the employers, lack of apt skills continues to be the major hurdle to employing graduates. Compared to employers, skills regarded as most important by graduates are communication, integrity and interpersonal skills, self-management skills, and teamwork. Whereas, those the employers consider essential are technical skills interpersonal skills integrity, self-management skills, and teamwork. However, personal integrity, interpersonal skills, self-management skills, and teamwork find a place among the top-ranked six skills according to both groups of respondents, which indicates that employers and graduates ascribe similar importance to individual attributes.

Nghiên cứu này dựa trên những sử liệu bằng chữ Hán của Trung Hoa và Việt Nam, sử liệu của Malacca để làm sáng tỏ mối quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Ryūkyū trong lịch sử, trong đó có các vấn đề: nhập khẩu giống lúa Indica từ vương quốc Champa (nay thuộc miền Trung Việt Nam) và các cuộc xung đột giữa Champa, Đại Việt với Mallacca trong thời trung đại, có liên quan đến mối quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Ryūkyū.
When East Meets West: A Comparative Analysis of Credibility and Persuasive Appeals in Cross-Cultural Email Negotiations between Genders
Authors: Alsharif Amerah
Published: April 2024

The bulk of studies focusing on cross-cultural variations in persuasive appeals examines letters or newspaper articles (Al-Ali 2006; Alhudhaif , 2005; Bhatia , 2014; Connor et al ., 1995; Ismail , 2010). It is rare for a study to examine persuasive appeals within intercultural settings via email communication for academic proposal purposes. To this end, this study investigates the use of credibility appeals in emails sent by Saudi and Australian PhD applicants to potential Australian supervisors. The study employs a genre-based approach, utilizing Swales' (1990) framework for genre analysis to identify the communicative purposes of each move in academic email negotiations. The results suggest cultural differences in self-presentation strategies. Despite quantitative similarities in credibility appeals usage, qualitative differences suggest cultural influences on communication styles. The study highlights the need for a culture-bridging approach to academic writing, promoting intercultural communication and contributing to a more comprehensive comprehension of academic email negotiations.

Validity of the Electronic Record as Evidence in Accordance with the Decision of the Palestinian Electronic Transactions Law
Authors: Saabneh Mohammad
Published: April 2024

The researcher addressed the topic of ‘Validity of the Electronic Record as Evidence in Accordance with the Decision of the Palestinian Electronic Transactions Law’. The researcher used a descriptive, analytical and deductive approach, aiming to explain the nature of the electronic record, the conditions that must be met in it, the procedures for documenting it, and its legal authority. The scholar concluded several results, the most important of which is that the Palestinian legislator approved the principle of equality in function and authenticity between the electronic record and the written record, but it did not specify the nature of the written record that is equivalent to the electronic record. Therefore, the latter may have the nature and validity of an official or customary record or unsigned papers such as commercial books. One of the most important recommendations of the researcher is the Palestinian legislator’s call for the necessity of establishing a special legal system for the electronic record, as it is one of the new means used to preserve electronic civil and commercial transactions and their documents.

Originality/value: No researcher - to the researcher's knowledge - has ever addressed the validity of the electronic record in evidence in a specialized capacity in Palestinian law. Previous studies dealt with the topics of electronic records in comparative Arab legislation.

Authors: Elbably Yasser , Nemt-allah Mohamed
Published: April 2024

The ability to effectively solve problems is a critical skill for success in academic and professional domains. This study investigated the impact of mindfulness training on problem-solving abilities among university students, with a focus on verbal insight problems and social problems. Sixty male students from the Information Technology Department at Al-Azhar University participated in the study, divided into an experimental group (n=30) that received an 8-week mindfulness-based training program and a control group (n=30). Quantitative measures assessed performance on a researcher-developed verbal insight problem test and the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised (SPSI-R) before and after the intervention. Qualitative data was collected through interviews and focus groups exploring participants' subjective experiences. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in verbal insight problem-solving for the experimental group compared to controls after mindfulness training (p<0.01). However, no significant differences emerged on social problem-solving measured by the SPSI-R. Qualitative findings suggested participants perceived benefits of mindfulness for emotional awareness, cognitive flexibility, and non-judgmental attitudes, which may facilitate insight problem-solving.

Originality/value: This mixed-methods study provides empirical support for integrating mindfulness-based interventions in academic programs to enhance cognitive functioning and creative problem-solving capacities among students.

Published: April 2024

This study aimed to determine the role of teaching texts in developing the skill of artistic appreciation among Arabic language learners in the secondary school. The study sample consisted of sixty teachers, and we distributed to them a questionnaire consisting of three items: the first item was concerned with the type of texts and how to choose them, the second item focused on teaching texts, and the third item was related to evaluation and support. After transcribing the results of the questionnaire using the statistical program (SPSS), the results were processed and discussed using the descriptive analytical method. Among the findings of the study are: that Arabic language books in secondary school do not suit the learners’ mental perceptions, are not open to their environment, and do not keep pace with the developments of the times, and that many of the pictures next to the texts do not express their content. Poetic texts constitute the most difficult types for learners to understand compared to narrative and functional texts.

Originality/value: The scientific value of the study lies in providing a vision to address the problem of learners’ reception of literary texts in relation to the methodology of presenting and teaching them. And increasing awareness of the most important elements that make today’s learner not want to read literary texts, feel their artistic and linguistic aesthetics, and invest in the values that they rely on.
