Published: March 2023

Language features used by BIPA teachers become one of essential parts during online teaching process. This study incorporated interactive metadiscourse (IMD) proposed by Hyland (2005). It was aimed at describing the functions of the categories and understanding the ways teachers employing IMD markers in BIPA digital classes. The data sources were 4 online BIPA learning videos. Aside from employing a qualitative-descriptive method, this study also used documentation technique and content analysis for collecting and analyzing the data through the process of transcribing the video, coding the data, inputting the data in AntCont 3.4.3, selecting the target words, calculating the occurrences and average, interpreting the data, and drawing conclusion. The results of this study revealed that BIPA teachers incorporated all five categories of IMD markers. The most common IMD markers used are: ok, nah, jadi, lihat, coba, dan karena, kalau,and misalnya. The discourse markers mostly assisted the BIPA teachers to direct students, to point on the slides, to shift from one topic to another, and to express agreements.  The findings of this research are expected to give benefits theoretically for scholars and practically for BIPA teachers in conducting online learning.

Authors: Nurudeen Abdulhakeem Hassan , Fakhrou Abdulnaser , Lawal Nuruddeen , Ghareeb Sara
Published: March 2023

Background: Students’ academic achievement is regarded as the scholastic
standing of students at the end of a given study period that is
expressed in terms of grades. The key to bridging the attainment gap at
the end of their study period is through their cumulative grade points
over the duration of the study. Predictive validity study on students
first-year GPA as a predictor of their final-year CGPA was carried out
to predict the students’ academic performance in Chemical, Civil,
Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. Purpose/Hypothesis: This study
examined the relationship between first-year GPA and final-year CGPA, as
well as the relationship between Age, Gender and Geopolitical zones on
first-year GPA and CGPA of Engineering students in the Faculty of
Engineering students University of Abuja, Nigeria. The data obtained
from the four Departments; Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical
were analyzed. Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study.
Design/Method: An ex-post factor research approach was adopted, and
Pearson’s correlation and Regression Analysis were fitted with the data
using Minitab software. Results: The results of the study highlighted
that first-year GPA had a strong positive relationship with final-year
CGPA. Age, Gender and Geopolitical zones have no correlation with
students’ final-year CGPA. The regression equations can be used to
predict students’ CGPA to bridge the attainment gap at the end of their
studies. Conclusions: Finally, the study emphasized the need to admit
more female students in Engineering studies as they constitute 12.9% of
the population.

Objective: To investigate the ENT department’s (OPD, IPD) antibiotic
prescribing practices at a tertiary care hospital in Lucknow, India.
Material and Methods A prospective, cross-sectional, non-experimental
(observational) study was performed in (OPD, IPD) department of Ear,
Nose and Throat (ENT) over a period of 6 months. Result In this study,
100 ENT patients (51 male, 49 female) were selected based on inclusion
and exclusion criteria. Ear infections were the most common reason for
visits (86 patients), followed by nose (7 patients) and throat
infections (5 patients). The most commonly prescribed antibiotics were
β-lactam antibiotics, with penicillin’s (amoxicillin with clavulanic
acid) and cephalosporin’s (cefixime) being the most commonly used.
Combination therapy was used in 117 patients, with an average of 1.9
antibiotics per patient per course. A total of 40 antibiotics were
prescribed, with oral being the most common route of administration.
Only one adverse drug reaction was reported, with a suspected link to
cefixime causing an increase in rashes in one patient. The study
population had comorbid conditions of anxiety, epilepsy, and anaemia.
Conclusions To conclude, our study in the university teaching hospital
(IIMSR) highlighted lesser utilization of antibiotics in ENT infections,
as some of the ENT infections are not due to bacteria. The majority of
ENT patients admitted to the hospital appear to have bacterial
infections, and most of them reacted favourably to antibiotic treatment.
Majority of the patients used the regimen in accordance with the current
guidelines. Keywords: Antibiotic agents, drug utilization, adverse drug

Carbamazepine Induced Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: A Clinical Case Report of a Rare Adverse Drug Reaction
Authors: SHAMS ABU RAIHAN , AJMAL MOHD , JAIN CHARUL , SHAMSI RAFAT JAHAN
Published: March 2023

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are
rare but life-threatening skin reactions, often triggered by medications
such as antiepileptic drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and
certain antibiotics. Carbamazepine is one of the most common
antiepileptic medicine that causes SJS. A 13-year-old male with a
history of 2 years of epilepsy presented with a painful rash and
extensive blistering with mucous membrane involvement, along with fever
and Nilkolsky sign. Based on clinical presentation and previous
medication history, the patient was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson
syndrome, and carbamazepine was identified as the cause. Carbamazepine
was discontinued, and the patient was given nutritional support, wound
care, and intravenous fluids, along with steroid and antihistamine
treatment. The patient’s symptoms improved, and he was discharged after
13 days. Physicians must be aware of the potential for life-threatening
drug hypersensitivity reactions in patients taking certain medications,
particularly antiepileptic drugs. A thorough history and careful
monitoring are essential for the early recognition and treatment of SJS
and TEN. We want to advise all physicians that for patients with a
previous drug reaction to this class of medication, carbamazepine
prescribing should be avoided. KEYWORDS: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS),
toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), carbamazepine (CBZ), phenytoin (PHT),

Este é o terceiro e último artigo que visa descrever a história da 5a edição de A Gênese, os milagres e as predições segundo o Espiritismo, utilizando-se das fontes documentais localizadas entre 2020 e 2021. Nos anteriores [JEE 8, 010209 (2020) e JEE 10, 010202 (2022)], descrevemos os eventos ocorridos com Kardec em vida, de fevereiro de 1868 a março de 1869, para preparar a nova edição para venda. Aqui, retomamos a história a partir da publicação da 1a impressão da 5a edição, entre abril e maio de 1869, até a publicação da 2a impressão, em 1872. Neste período, relatamos a responsabilidade e envolvimento de Amélie Boudet, tendo como pano de fundo a transição do pós-Kardec (de 1o de abril a 13 de agosto de 1869) e os primeiros anos da Sociedade Anônima (até 1873). Em seguida, avançamos cerca de 10 anos na história, para a denúncia feita por Henri Sausse, em 1884, de que A Gênese teria sido adulterada no pós-Kardec, contraditada pelas respostas dos envolvidos na publicação da obra, que esclareceram ter sido um trabalho do autor. Analisamos a repercussão dessa denúncia na França nas décadas seguintes até que, em 1925, o próprio Sausse encerrou o assunto, ao declarar que foi Kardec quem revisou e corrigiu a obra. Transladamos para o Brasil e traçamos um panorama sobre o tema, desde a tentativa frustrada de adulterar a primeira tradução de A Gênese para o português, em 1882, até a denúncia mais recente, em 2017, que repetiu a visão inicial de Sausse de que a 5a edição francesa havia sido adulterada após a morte de Kardec. Por fim, apresentamos as razões para a proposta da adulteração de A Gênese nunca ter sido de fato comprovada e demonstramos que as fontes identificadas na nossa pesquisa, juntamente com as previamente conhecidas, corroboram o testemunho dos envolvidos: Kardec é o autor da edição atualizada da obra.

The article presents methods and means of 3D design of printed circuit boards in CAx. Automated placement of elements on the board is implemented by means of API SolidWorks using Visual Studio C#. The API application works by an algorithm that allows you to create a 3D layout of printed circuit boards. Each component of the library contains a conditional graphic notation of the element. With the help of the implemented algorithm, a comprehensive approach is provided, which consists in the fact that already at this stage the preparation of the strategy for tracing the conductors of the future printed circuit board is carried out, the classes of circuits are determined and the necessary technological parameters are set, as well as the data necessary for the preparation of design documentation is generated. After the completion of the work on the input of the scheme, a check is made for the presence of errors and compliance with the specified parameters, and if the test is successful, a list of circuits is generated for transfer to the tracing program. From this moment, any possibility of errors in the subsequent stages of design is excluded. CAD DipTrace was used to trace printed circuit boards and generate g-code. Printed circuit board processing is carried out on a CNC machine - CNC3018 using the Candle program. The printed circuit board tracks are created by forming a groove between the track and the metallized coating of the textolite. With the help of the formed height map, the uniform removal of the metallization layer over the entire area of the textolite is ensured. In addition, holes are drilled for the output elements of the circuit, the printed circuit board is cut along the contour and covered with a layer of tin to prevent oxidation of its metallized coating. The considered CAD methods and tools made it possible to automate the design of the printed circuit board of the FM radio receiver control module. As a result of the performed work, means of automating the design of printed circuit boards were applied and a fully functional printed circuit board with a track width of 0.8 mm was obtained.

In this work, research the essence of the wood drying process in a periodic wood drying chamber. This paper provides a mathematical model of a wood drying chamber, which describes the general essence of physical drying processes using the equipment available in the wood drying chamber. This approach allows to take into account the physical parameters of the necessary equipment, such as heaters, fans, humidifying nozzles or other. This approach also allows to ignore some design characteristics that may differ depending on the type of wood drying chamber. Considering this, the main task in this work is to determine the temperature and humidity of the drying agent and lumber in the stack, as well as the temperature of the main components of the wood drying chamber. Taking into account such a large number of input parameters and describing a complex non-stationary process of heat transfer, there is a need to create complicated mathematical models. The presence of such mathematical models greatly complicates their application and requires significant computer resources for their calculation. In this way, the mathematical description is reduced to the description of non-linear partial differential equations. To simplify and speed up the calculations of this mathematical model, the use of cellular automata is suggested. To do this, the 3D model of the wood drying chamber is represented as a cell-automatic field, which consists of cells of the same size but different types. As a result, neighboring cells contain local relationships that describe their general behavior. This behavior depends on the type of tangent cells and is described by transition rules based on a mathematical model. Through the use of the developed cell-automatic model and transition rules, it is possible to obtain the values of the temperature and moisture content of the wood in the stack, the drying agent in the chamber, as well as the temperature of the main components of the chamber. The work also shows the corresponding graphs of changes in temperature and moisture content. To check the adequacy and reliability, the obtained results were compared with the results of other authors' experiments. As a result of the verification, the values of the average absolute error aren't high, which confirms the adequacy of the mathematical model and the prospects of using the developed cell-automatic model.
Physical foundations of quantum informatics: from quantum mechanics through quantum computing to quantum cryptography
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Kosobutskyy Petro
Published: March 2023

A methodical analysis of the basic problem related to quantum calculations of parameters of physical systems was made. Emphasis is placed on the physical principles of the operation of a quantum computer, with an emphasis on the fact that simultaneous access to all quantum states is important in quantum computing, which allows the simultaneous change of the quantum state from all superpositions in the qubit system. Emphasis is placed on the fact that in quantum algorithms the Fourier transform and the Hadamard transform are the basic operations - as a simple discrete Fourier transform. The reader's attention is drawn to the fact that quantum computing is primarily implemented in quantum objects with the properties of elementary NOT gates and controlled CNOT, which can be implemented on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer using the phenomena of photon interference and rotation of its polarization vector. Despite the progress of conventional computers, the need for the development of quantum computing is due to the technological limitation due to the dimensional quantization of the electronic spectrum and the exponential increase in the time of calculations by classical algorithms when the volume of data increases. However, the widespread use of quantum computers is limited by a number of problems. This is, first of all, insufficient accuracy and high sensitivity to external influences that can destroy the quantum state. Therefore, to increase the accuracy of calculations on a quantum computer, the calculation algorithm must be repeated a certain number of times, and to avoid the destruction of the quantum states of the qubit, low temperatures are used.

Published: March 2023

Predictive maintenance is a widely applied maintenance program that requires extensive support of computer aided systems. The program uses specific procedures that are to be addressed when developing predictive maintenance software solutions. Despite the fact that software solutions for predictive maintenance were introduced almost at the same time as the program emerged, it still remains a very actual field for the application of computer aided systems. The practice also shows that developers of computer aided systems for predictive maintenance constantly encounter problems, trying to translate predictive maintenance procedures into the computer language. These procedures are very specific and require microprocessor-based equipment and development of sophisticated algorithms. Therefore, there is a distinct need for better awareness about the predictive maintenance concept among software developers. The article aims to describe the essence of the predictive maintenance concept, its fundamental approaches and the main physical processes upon which the predictive maintenance procedures are based: (1) distinct vibration frequency components which are inherent in all common failure modes; and (2) constant amplitude of each distinct vibration component. The importance of the awareness with the concept for computer aided systems developers is emphasized. And the most problematic areas of software application in predictive maintenance programs are outlined, namely the development of effective computerized systems to capture and analyze an immense quantity of data (big data processing), and the development of systems, supporting an intelligent connection of smart devices with the means of internet protocols (Internet of Things).
New regularities of segment division according to the golden ratio
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Kosobutskyy Petro , Oksentyuk Vira ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: March 2023

The paper investigates four problems on the dividing a unit segment by the "golden" proportion. Namely, the general model of the unit segment "golden" division, the decomposition of a square trinomial, the "golden" division of a unit segment by a point with coordinate x<12 the "golden" division of a unit segment with loss of "memory". In this article, the concept of decomposition is used as elevation to the degree of a quadratic trinomial. The binary division of a unit segment into two unequal parts with the properties of the "golden" proportion is realized at an arbitrary point in the phase plane 0pq , and the decomposition of a square trinomial leads to the formation of recurrent sequences with Fibonacci properties. It can be noted that the well-known "golden" ratio between the parts of the binary division is most likely a partial imitation of the theorems of Viet and Poincaré. The rules of the "golden" division for the case x>12 are well studied. Therefore, the regularities for the case x<12 were researched. Despite the fact that the numbers ψ,φ are expressed through each other, from the point of view of the "golden" division, both realizations with quantitative characteristics Yφ|L=1=φ and Xψ|L=1=ψ are independent and equal, although their quantitative characteristics can be related to each other with the appropriate formulas. Geometric progressions were constructed for numbers φ and ψ for whole positive values n≥0 of the exponent to confirm the independence and equality of both models. Quantitative characteristics of the "golden" division of a unit segment by two points with coordinates in intervals x>12 and x<12 interconnected by a nonlinear relation of parabolic type ψ=φ2 . In the classical "golden" section theory, it is assumed that after distribution, the parts of the segment do not change their spatial directions, and they coincide with the direction of the original segment, i.e. α=0 . In this article the case α≠0 was studied when, after the distribution, the spatial orientation of the distribution elements changes. The angular dependence of the "golden" division of a unit segment with the loss of "memory" of its parts on the spatial orientation after division, shows a known angle α|p→1→π3 of inclination on the lateral surface of the Hyops.

Published: March 2023

Сyber-social management schemes of society for decision-making are proposed. The model of xor-relationships between the remarkable logical functions of digital circuits is used, which is convoluted into zero-space, which makes it possible to solve the problems of technical diagnostics, generative machine learning, search for similarities-differences between processes and phenomena. For the socio-logical structure of social control, a vector-deductive method for synthesizing formulas for transporting input lists (data) of faults is proposed, which has a quadratic computational complexity of register operations. We consider a coordinate vector model of defects that is not connected to input variables, which can be used for efficient processing of complex logic circuits when assessing the quality of synthesized tests. Deductive functions and schemes of social management based on combinational multilevel schemes are proposed.

The work created software and algorithmic support for modeling and forecasting the Bitcoin cryptocurrency using the ARFIMA (AutoRegressive Fractionally Integrated Moving Average) fractal model. Time series forecasting models (autoregressive, fractal) were analyzed. The selection of the most appropriate parameters of the selected fractal model was also carried out to maximize accuracy in view of the RMSE metric. The series were analyzed for trend, seasonality, white noise, non-stationarity and long-term memory. The Hurst indicators were studied and the algorithm for choosing the optimal parameter d of fractal differentiation of the ARFIMA model was adapted. The choice of software tools for implementing algorithms and forecasting models using the Python programming language version 3.6.5 using the pandas version 1.1.3 and numpy version 1.19.2 libraries is justified. In order to forecast the time series, the programming language R version 4.1.3 was used, along with the forecast version 8.16 and arfima version 1.8.0 libraries. The software implementation of the ARFIMA fractal model was carried out. Transferred the application to the Google Colab cloud service using Google Drive storage for storing data and forecasting results. The results of comparing the effectiveness of the created fractal model with the same model with automatic selection of parameters, as well as with the most appropriate autoregression model on different sizes of training and test data were obtained. It was established that a larger amount of both training and test data clearly favors fractal models, since in this case there is a long-lasting effect, that is, a pronounced long memory in the second time series. The result is a software system that can be used by investors and ordinary people to analyze and forecast their chosen cryptocurrency using a modern fractal modeling approach. It is important to always check the data and clean up anomalous deviations that cause error in the prediction estimate.

A new mathematical model of the nonstationary process of heat and moisture transfer in the two-dimensional region is constructed on the basis of the use of Caputo and Grunwald- Letnikov derivatives. An implicit finite-difference scheme for approximation of a mathematical model of noisothermal moisture transfer taking into account the fractional integro-differential apparatus is developed. The given algorithm of numerical realization of model allows to receive values of function of temperature and humidity for all points of area of partition. The method of fractional steps is adapted for numerical realization of mathematical model. It allowed performing parallel calculations of two difference half-step taking into account the corresponding spatial coordinate. The implemented algorithm of parallel calculation of non- isothermal moisture transfer in materials of fractal structure makes it possible to obtain a reliable result without the need to conduct complex and expensive practical experiments. It is proposed to use the Model-View-Presenter design pattern for software development. The software a parallel algorithm using .Net threads and algorithmic features of the TPL library has developed. It has been tested on multi-core computer systems with CPUs of different capacities. The .NET Stopwatch class was used to measure the execution time of sequential and parallel algorithms. A two-dimensional case with a mesh partition is studied for three cases: a square shape, a wide rectangular shape, and a tall rectangular shape. Graphs of dynamics of acceleration and efficiency of algorithms are given, and their analysis is also carried out. To smooth the graphs of acceleration and efficiency of algorithms, we apply approximation of experimental data based on the obtained results.

Nowadays, many cities all over the world suffer from noise pollution. Noise is an invisible danger that can cause health problems for both people and wildlife. Therefore, it is essential to estimate the environmental noise level and implement corrective measures. There are a number of noise identification techniques, and the choice of the most appropriate technique depends upon the information required and its application. Analyzing audio data requires three key aspects to be considered such as time period, amplitude, and frequency. Based on the above parameters, the source of noise can be identified. This research paper suggests the utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for the traffic noise detection process. Computational methods are the fastest and most innovative way to analyze raw data sets and predict results. Identifying patterns in these methods requires a large amount of data and computing power. Machine learning models can be trained using three types of data: experimental sound libraries, audio datasets purchased from data providers, and data collected by domain experts. In the scope of the study, an experimental dataset was used to train a model that predicts the correct outcomes based on the inputs, using supervised learning. Developing an accurate model requires high-quality data input. However, incorrect data collection can cause noise in feature sets, as can human error or instrument error. Traffic sound events in the real environment do not usually occur in isolation but tend to have a significant overlap with other sound events. A part of this paper is dedicated to the problems that may arise during traffic noise detection, like incorrect data processing and data collection. It also discusses the ways to improve the quality of the input data. The study also states that the field of transport noise detection would greatly benefit from the development of a centralized railway database based on constructive railroad data, and from a centralized database with railway-specific datasets. Based on preliminary results of traffic noise analysis, modernization of the tram lines was proposed to reduce the environmental noise.
Conservative Treatment in Impending Fracture of Solitary Brown Tumor of Tibia: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Pakmanee Nithi , Chobpenthai Thanapon
Published: March 2023

Background: Brown tumors, also known as osteitis fibrosa cystica, are focal benign bone lesions caused by an increased osteoclastic activity because of high levels of parathyroid hormones. The increase of parathyroid hormones can be primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and secondary HPT resulting from renal failure and vitamin D deficiency. Case presentation: A 26-year-old Thai female visited the clinic because of right leg pain and swelling for three weeks. Plain radiography revealed a solitary osteolytic lesion with an impending fracture at the anterior cortex of the right proximal tibia. The patient underwent a core needle biopsy. The initial histopathology report depicted a giant cell lesion. In addition, the patient had elevated serum parathyroid hormones. A parathyroid adenoma was discovered on a further investigation with contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the neck. The immunochemistry and molecular study report were consistent with a brown tumor. The patient underwent parathyroidectomy for her adenoma and was on weight-bearing restrictions for her leg. After three months of follow-up, she could bear weight on her right leg without pain, and radiographic evaluation showed restoration of the tibial cortex. Conclusion: Conservative management has a role in managing brown tumors of the lower extremities with impending pathologic fracture. Rapid diagnosis and removing the primary cause of parathyroid adenoma as soon as possible is a crucial part of the treatment.
Severe Megaloblastic Anemia & Thrombocytopenia in Pregnancy: A Case Report
Authors: Nugraheni Agnes Indah , Wijayanti Ketut Ratna Dewi , Manuaba Ida Ayu Indira Mandini
Published: March 2023

Anemia during pregnancy is defined as a serum hemoglobin of less than 10.5 g/dL in the second trimester of pregnancy, and it is defined as a serum hemoglobin of less than 11 g/dL in the third trimester of pregnancy. There is evidence that maternal anemia raises the likelihood of health issues occurring in both the mother and the child. The anemia known as megaloblastic anemia is characterized by macrocytosis as a consequence of the reduction of DNA synthesis while erythropoiesis is taking place. This results in an increased number of red blood cells. The presence of megaloblastic anemia is often identified by chance during the course of routine blood testing. The only persons who have symptoms of anemia during pregnancy are those who already have a severe level of anemia. If treatment for megaloblastic anemia is not received, the condition may lead to thrombocytopenia. The first step in diagnosing megaloblastic anemia is identifying the morphological (increased mean cellular volume) and laboratory (specific vitamin deficiency) symptoms of megaloblastosis. This will lead to the identification of megaloblastic anemia. We take a look at the situation of a woman in her thirties who is expecting a child but has been told she has significant megaloblastic anemia and thrombocytopenia.

The purpose of this study was to review Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) as a strategy recognized internationally to address barriers of access to equal opportunities and improvement of quality of life (QOL) for people with disabilities. The study also sought to interrogate how CBR be localized in Kenya to meet the sociocultural, health, education and economic needs of young people with visual impairment. When CBR was first developed in the 1980s, it was centered on providing access to community-level health and therapy. The World Health Organization (WHO) saw CBR as a strategy to increase access to rehabilitation services at community level for people with disabilities. However, the CBR approach has evolved into a much broader, multisectoral approach to inclusivity at community level in supporting and increasing development (WHO, 2017). Young people with disabilities in Kenya are generally not accessed equal opportunities and work participation in the community. They are marginalized owing to cultural biases and severity of disabilities which interact with such factors as gender, age and poverty.

Salgın hastalıklar toplumsal ve siyasal manada yıkıcı etkiye sahip önemli bir faktördür. Öyle ki bazı durumlarda Allah’ın bir cezası olarak da değerlendirilmiştir. Esasen dünyayla yaşıt olan salgın hastalıklar, bir sebep dolayısıyla ortaya çıkmış ve etkisi farklı şekillerde günümüze kadar devam etmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti de bu salgın hastalıklardan ciddi şekilde etkilenen devletler arasında yer almaktadır. Özellikle de Ortadoğu’nun sınır komşusu olan Mardin, bu konuda mustarip bir kenttir. Mardin, Osmanlı’dan önce de özellikle Suriye, Irak ve Mısır ile gerçekleştirilen sınır ticaretinden dolayı salgın hastalıkların merkezi konumundadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı geç Osmanlı’dan erken Cumhuriyet’e geçiş sürecinde Mardin’de görülen zührevi hastalıklar ve hastalıklara karşı alınan tedbirleri içermektedir. Bazı hastalıklara geniş yer verilirken, bazı hastalıklar ise etkisi az olduğu için yüzeysel değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada Osmanlı ve Cumhuriyet dönemlerinde görülen salgın hastalıkların Mardin’deki seyri de ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada yöntem olarak Başbakanlık Osmanlı ve Cumhuriyet Arşivi, yerel ve ulusal basın ve hatıralardan yararlanılarak nicel bir yol izlenmiştir.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun son dönemlerinde 19. yüzyıldan itibaren eğitim yapısındaki değişimler sebebiyle yenilikçi bir tarza dönüşümün gecikmesi eski gelenek ve alışkanlıklara göre kurgulanmış sistemin düzeltilmesine olanak tanımadı. Vakıflarla yönetilen medrese şeklindeki kurumların ders müfredatı ve işleyişi yüksekokul statüsünde değildi. İmparatorluğun sona erip Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurulmasının ardından çağdaş eğitim kurumlarına sahip olunması için yapılan çalışmalar Cumhurbaşkanı Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün direktifleri doğrultusunda başlatılan 1933 Üniversite Reformu’yla kesinlik kazandı. 30 Ocak 1933’de Almanya’daki siyasi karışıklık neticesinde görülen baskıdan kaçan kişilerden bazıları kendilerine geçici yerleşim yeri olarak Türkiye’yi seçmek istiyorlardı. Bu sebeple üniversite reformuyla verilen eğitimin kalitesini yükseltmek için alanında uzman kişiler ülkemize davet edildi. Sonuçta OSE (Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants)’ın şeref başkanı olan Albert Einstein’in aracılığıyla Türkiye ile yapılan yazışmaların sonrasında bilim insanlarından bazılarının ülkemiz üniversite yapılanmasında görev almak üzere geldikleri görüldü. Bu bilim insanlarından, Ord. Profesör Dr. h. c. Gustav Oelsner (1879-1956) öncelikle İstanbul’daki Yüksek Mühendis Okulu’nda görev almış, İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesinin kuruluşuna kadar geçen süreçte varlığıyla bu bilimsel yapılanmanın ve ülkemizdeki mimarlık ve şehir planlaması alanlarının süreçlerine katkı sağlamış, öğrenciler yetiştirmiş önemli bir isimdir. Makalemizde onun kısa yaşam öyküsüne ve İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesinin kuruluş aşamasına değinirken, Çağatay Üstün’ün arşivinde bulunan ve ölümünün birinci yılı sebebiyle yayınlanmış bir anı kitapçığından yararlanarak (1957) kısa alıntılara yer vermeyi ve Türk mimarlık tarihine olumlu bir katkı sağlamayı amaç ediniyoruz.
Onsekizinci Yüzyıl Akdeniz Dünyasının Azılı Korsanlarından: İsmiyle Meçhul, Lakabıyla Meşhur "Burunsuz"

Published: March 2023

Malta asıllı Burunsuz lakaplı korsan, 18. yüzyılın ilk yirmi yılında Osmanlı Devleti’ni bir hayli meşgul etmiştir. Günümüzde Osmanlı arşiv belgelerine dayanarak Burunsuz hakkında bilgi veren sadece bir çalışma vardır ve bu, birkaç satırı geçmeyen bilgilerden ibarettir. Şimdiye kadar bu korsan hakkında Osmanlı belgelerine dayanan ve onun faaliyetlerine biraz daha geniş perspektiften bakmamızı sağlayacak bir araştırmanın yapılmamış olması da söz konusu bu çalışmanın hazırlanmasında belirleyici etken olmuştur. Ayrıca bu korsan hakkında bilgi veren tek kaynak olma özelliğini gösteren Târîh-i Râşid adlı kronikte, Burunsuz’un sadece Müslüman-Türk ticaret gemilerine saldırdığı ifade edilmiştir; ancak onun herhangi bir din-ırk ayırt etmeksizin ticaret gemilerini hedef aldığı, dönemin sicil kayıtlarındaki bir gayrimüslime ait hüküm esas alınarak ortaya konulmuştur. Bu makalede, Burunsuzla ilgili bilgi veren Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri ve dönemin kroniği esas alınarak söz konusu korsan ve onun faaliyetleri karşısında devletin almış olduğu sert tedbirler hakkında genel bir bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
