Stuart Hall’un yaklaşımıyla: Medyanın etkisinde Ciguli’nin temsili ve kimliği
Authors: Bilget Güçlüer Sultan
Published: December 2024

Bulgaristan’da doğup büyüyen ve küçük yaşlardan itibaren düğünlerde akordeon çalarak müzik kariyerine adım atan Ciguli’nin, 1990’ların sonlarında Türkiye’de vokal yetenekleri, akordeon ustalığı ve kendine özgü sahne duruşuyla hatırı sayılır bir ün kazandığı söylenebilir. Stuart Hall’un kültürel temsil, kültürel kimlik ve medya çalışmaları ışığında oluşturulan bu araştırma, Ciguli’nin Türkiye’de popüler olduğu süreçte kullanılan medya araçlarını dikkate alarak, inşa edilen temsillerini ve bu temsillerin sanatçının kimliği üzerindeki etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Hall, medyanın sosyal gerçekliğin doğrudan bir yansıması olmadığını, bunun yerine sürekli olarak inşa edilen ve kurgulanan bir süreç olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Bu doğrultuda nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak Ciguli’nin etnik kimliği, müzik tarzı ve performansı ile şekillenen kimlik inşası incelenmiş, medyanın üretimiyle sunulan “Ciguli” temsilleri ve ortaya çıkan anlamlar değerlendirilmiştir. Bunun yanında, Ciguli’nin popüler olduğu dönemde etkili olan medya araçları tarafından tasvir edilen “Ciguli imajı” ile Ciguli’nin kendilik algısı ve kişisel deneyimleri arasındaki tutarsızlık göz önünde bulundurularak, medyanın manipülasyonlarına rağmen kendi kimliğini ifade etme çabaları da ele alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak, medya tarafından inşa edilen temsillerin Ciguli’nin başarılı bir sanatçı ve virtüöz kimliğini gölgelemeye hizmet ettiği, bunun yerine onu mizahi bir figür olarak güçlendirdiği ve izleyiciye sunduğu söylenebilir. Bu bulgular, medyanın marjinalleştirilmiş bireylerin temsillerini şekillendirme, yeniden üretme ve toplum algısını yönlendirme süreçlerindeki güçlü etkisini ortaya koymaktadır.
Gelenekten popülerliğe “Yağmur Yağar” türküsü örnekleminde Türk müziğinde çokseslilik
Authors: Yıldız Filiz , Türkmen Uğur
Published: December 2024

Geleneğin korunması ve gelecek kuşaklara aktarılması profesyonel müzik eğitiminin önemli hedeflerinden biri olarak görülür. Çok yönlü ve çok boyutlu bir eğitim sistemi içinde yeni ve farklı yaklaşımların uygulanması, başta teknoloji olmak üzere güncel değişim ve gelişimlerin dikkate alınması sıklıkla görülür. Geleneksel müziklerimizin icra pratikleri üzerinde fikir paylaşımlarının, eleştiri, öneri ve tartışmalarında her zaman güncelliğini koruduğu düşünülür.
Türk müzik kültüründe çoksesliliğin yaklaşık 200 yıllık bir geçmişi olduğu bilinir. Geleneksel müziklerin hangi yöntem ve yaklaşımlar ile çokseslendirilmesi gerektiğine yönelik tartışma ve fikir paylaşımları özellikle profesyonel müzik eğitimi verilen kurumlarında devam etmektedir. Sadece, amatör, genel ve profesyonel müzik eğitimi içinde değil, popüler kültürde de türkülerin icra pratiklerinde çokseslilik ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Bestecilik eğitimi almış, mesleğinin gerektirdiği tüm teknik bilgi ve becerilere sahip olanlar dışındaki seslendiricilerin bazen bilinçli bazen bilinçsiz ve duyum odaklı üretimleri de fikir paylaşımlarının ana konularından olmaktadır. Türk müziğinde çokseslilik söz konusu olduğunda, Kemal İlerici, Ahmet Samim Bilgen, Hüseyin Saadettin Arel, Veysel Arseven ve Yalçın Tura gibi tanınmış isimler dışında; müzik öğretmeni İbrahim Selman Coşgun veya popüler kültürün önemli bestecilerinden Ergüder Yoldaş gibi isimlerin pek bilinmese de yaklaşımları olduğu görülür. Türkülerimiz seslendirilirken özellikle sazların doğal yapılarından kaynaklı olarak çoksesli icra pratikleri ile karşılaşılmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada Yağmur Yağar türküsü özelinde; üç telli ile icra eden geleneksel Türk halk müziği bağlama sanatçılarından, aynı zamanda Kütahyalı olan Mustafa Hisarlı, profesyonel Türk halk müziği eğitimi veren bir akademisyen Veli Yöntem, Kütahya’da uzun yıllar müzik öğretmenliği yaparak genel müzik eğitimi veren bir müzik öğretmeni İbrahim Selman Coşgun ve popüler kültürde kendine yer edinmiş bir sanatçı olan Hüseyin Turan’ın icra pratikleri çokseslilik temelli incelenmiştir. Türkünün dört farklı icra pratiği üzerinde çalışılan nitel çalışmada, betimsel yöntem esas alınmış, arşiv araştırması ve içerik analizi yapılmış, elde edilen veriler nitel tekniklere göre çözümlenmiştir.

Academic perspectives on the use of digital platforms and mobile applications in vocal training
Authors: Şakalar Alper , Gürel Sevda
Published: December 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effects of digital platforms and mobile applications on vocal training. Employing qualitative methods, the research analyzed the perspectives of 12 music academics working at various universities in Turkey. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that digital platforms provide students with flexibility, enabling time- and location-independent practice, support the development of technical skills, and offer access to an extensive musical repertoire. However, it was also concluded that fundamental elements of vocal training, such as vocal resonance, breath control, and articulation, are taught more effectively through one-on-one feedback under the supervision of an instructor. The study identified that digital platforms fail to fully provide such critical feedback and exhibit pedagogical limitations. The research concluded that digital platforms should be used in a balanced manner alongside traditional methods in vocal training, as academics predominantly view digital tools as supplementary aids. Furthermore, it was suggested that integrating artificial intelligence-supported systems and advanced sound technologies into the educational process could enhance the effectiveness of digital platforms. In this context, the contributions and limitations of digital technologies in vocal training were discussed, and various recommendations were proposed for future research.

The phenomenon of backbiting for society is a common thing to do so that someone does not think about the impact that occurs after doing backbiting.  The urgency of this research is to analyze Wahbah az-Zuhaili's interpretation of the verses about backbiting. As well as understanding the law of backbiting, the impact of backbiting and how to prevent it through this interpretation of Wahbah az-Zuhaili. This research was conducted qualitatively using the library method. Meanwhile, to analyze the interpretation of the ghibah verses by Wahbah az-Zuhaili, the character-based Maudu'I interpretation method, through content analysis, and the bil ma'tsur interpretation approach were used.  The results of this research show that Wahbah az-Zuhaili's interpretation regarding backbiting is also obtained, that there are 6 things that backbiting can be done according to the prevailing situation. Wahbah az-Zuhaili emphasized that this exception must be used with great care, so that it is not misused. This is the difference between Wahbah az-Zuhaili's interpretation and other commentators in interpreting the ghibah verse. In Wahbah az-Zuhaili's view backbiting can cause various impacts, such as damage to relationships, mental and physical difficulties, decline, and moral damage as well as being tortured in hell. In order to overcome acts of backbiting, always remember that backbiting is a very heinous act that is prohibited by Allah because it can have an impact on individuals and society.

Authors: Karkush Sadiq R. , Rasheed Manal K. , Abdul Wahid Ali T. , Majeed Ahmed R.
Published: December 2024

Background: Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that frequently causes low back pain (LBP). In addition to the discomfort of lower back pain, it can accompany pain in one or both legs. The lumbar spine and sacrum, consisting of five vertebrae and one bone, determine the spine's balance. Microelements are essential in bone metabolism and are associated with the prevention of osteoporosis and the alleviation of musculoskeletal pain.
Objectives: To examine the correlation between lumbar spinal surgery and the concentrations of microelements, namely zinc and copper.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Ghazi Al-Hariri Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, during the period from October 2023 to January 2024. The study included 120 participants ranging in age from 18 to 70 years. Sixty participants underwent lumbar spine surgery and were diagnosed using X-rays or MRI scans. The other 60 were healthy controls. The zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels in the blood were determined using an atomic absorption spectrometer. The body mass index (BMI) was determined using the formula: BMIg/m2 = weight/height2.
Results: The patients had a lower mean zinc level (57.3 ± 14.56 Mmol/L) and a higher mean copper level (106.6 ± 39.41 Mmol/L) in comparison to healthy controls (96.4 ± 17.38 Mmol/L) and (61.0 ± 9.53 Mmol/L), respectively There was a weak relationship and a significant correlation between copper and zinc (r = -0.2). A very strong relationship and a significant correlation between copper and Cu / Zn ratio (r = 0.85) while zinc had a significant very strong correlation relationship with Cu / Zn ratio (r = -0.7) in patients.
Conclusion: The present study underscores the noteworthy association between microelements (Cu, Zn) and degenerative lumbar discs, underscoring the significance of pre-operative evaluation in achieving the best possible surgical results. The study has demonstrated the utility of measuring serum zinc level and copper level, especially their link with lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) markers of patients undergoing lumbar spinal surgery.
Correlation between MDA Level and Chitotriosidase-1 Activity in Seminal Fluid of Iraqi Infertile Males
Authors: Abdul Aziz Ali S. , Elyaseen Hedef D. , Kadhem Hussain K.
Published: December 2024

Background: Male infertility is a multifactorial condition influenced by various physiological and biochemical factors. Seminal fluid composition plays a crucial role in sperm function and fertilization potential. Chitotriosidase is a chitinase enzyme released by activated macrophages and is highly conserved and controlled. The notable chitinase in humans plays a significant role in the body's immunological response and is linked to inflammation, infection, tissue damage, and remodeling processes. On the other hand, malondialdehyde is a marker of lipid peroxidation, reflecting oxidative stress levels.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between malondialdehyde levels and Chitotriosidase-1in seminal fluid in Iraqi infertile males.
Methods: Ninety males aged between twenty and forty-five were included in this cross-sectional study, all diagnosed with infertility by specialists at the infertility unit of Al-Batool Teaching Hospital between February 2022 and February 2023. The participants were categorized into three groups: the Normozoospermic Group (G1), the Asthenospermia Group (G2), and the Oligozoospermic Group (G3). Seminal malondialdehyde and Chitotriosidase-1 levels were measured by competitive Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: The study findings showed significantly higher levels of seminal fluid Chitotriosidase-1 found in the G2 group compared to the G3 and G1 groups. The seminal fluid malondialdehyde level for G1 was significantly lower than those for G2 and G3, which revealed a significant positive correlation between seminal fluid Chitotriosidase-1 activity and malondialdehyde levels (r = 0.37, P < 0.05) in the Asthenospermia Group.
Conclusion: There is a correlation between seminal fluid Chitotriosidase-1 activity and malondialdehyde level in the Asthenospermia Group. Novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the treatment of male infertility may result from our growing understanding of the roles played by Chitotriosidase-1 and malondialdehyde in male reproductive health.
Correlation between Follicular Fluid Fatty Acids and Cell-Free Mitochondrial DNA in Women Undergoing Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injections
Authors: Alawad Zainab M. , Al-Omary Hanan L.
Published: December 2024

Background: Beta-oxidation of fatty acids takes place in the mitochondria to produce energy. This process is linked to the formation of free radicals. Previous researches propose that some fatty acids may be related to mitochondrial dysfunction, as they induce oxidative stress.
Objectives: To examine the correlation between follicular fluid fatty acids and relative cell-free mitochondrial DNA in the follicular fluid in women experiencing intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Methods: Fifty women subjected to ICSI participated in this cross-sectional research. Follicular fluid samples were obtained during oocyte pick-up. The samples were assessed for fatty acids, utilizing gas chromatography, and for relatively cell-free mitochondrial DNA, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used.
Results: There was a strong significant positive correlation between follicular fluid margaric acid and follicular fluid relative to cell-free mitochondrial DNA, as the correlation coefficient was 0.869, and the P value was 0.025. In addition, a strong significant inverse correlation was noticed, in women with diminished ovarian reserve, between follicular fluid oleic acid and relative cell-free mitochondrial DNA in the follicular fluid, as indicated by a correlation coefficient = - 0.9 and a P value = 0.037.
Conclusion:  Margaric acid correlated positively with the relative cell-free mitochondrial DNA, which might reflect mitochondrial dysfunction, due to aggravation of oxidative stress. Whereas, oleic acid, in women with diminished ovarian reserve, correlated negatively with relative cell-free mitochondrial DNA. However, more studies are required in this area of research.

Authors: Migdalia González Verónica , Noroño Sánhez José Gregorio
Published: December 2024

La crisis económica que ha producido la pandemia del Covid-19 en América Latina ha generado, de manera muy marcada, aumentos considerables en las tasas de desempleo, esto aunado al desgaste de los servicios que ofrecen los Estados a la población y la mala implementación de práctica de políticas públicas de carácter laboral y de protección social, lo que ha tenido un impacto considerable en generar mayores brechas para la incorporación y atención de las personas en situación migratoria, vulnerando así derechos humanos fundamentales. Metodológicamente es un estudio documental, descriptivo, transversal, con un diseño no experimental. Entre sus principales conclusiones, se señala que luego de los efectos adversos generados por la pandemia de Covid-19, los Estados requieren de un compromiso responsable para poner en práctica políticas públicas laborales de protección social, sin ningún tipo de discriminación o exclusión de la población migrante para que estas políticas logren una efectividad verdadera e inclusiva.

The phenomenon of implementing rewards in the memorization of the Quran provides new insights into how positive reinforcement can enhance motivation and sustain the process of memorization (tahfidz), in alignment with Skinner's theory. This literature study aims to detail how rewards can serve as motivational tools within the progression of Quran memorization. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The research steps include determining keywords, searching for articles using Publish or Perish, and filtering relevant articles according to predetermined criteria. A review of six selected articles serves as the object of this study, utilizing thematic data analysis to examine the application of rewards in Quran memorization based on Skinner's theoretical framework. The findings of this literature review indicate that: 1) Skinner's concept of rewards is effective in reinforcing positive behavior through positive reinforcement. The implementation of rewards can also encourage the development of intrinsic motivation, reducing reliance on extrinsic motivation. 2) The provision of verbal and non-verbal rewards effectively enhances motivation and memorization of the Quran. Rewards such as praise or tangible gifts can invigorate the learning spirit, provided they are administered wisely in order to maintain sincere intentions in memorization. 3) Existing research demonstrates that the application of rewards based on Skinner's theory effectively strengthens the habit of memorizing the Quran, thereby facilitating the formation of routines and reinforcing an individual's commitment to achieving memorization targets. Future research is recommended to utilize quantitative or qualitative methods to further examine the application of rewards in enhancing Quran memorization motivation.

We investigate the ill-posed problem of minimizing a convex functional in a Hilbert
space. Previously, in the author’s work, the problem of minimizing a quadratic functional
was considered. The iterative processes that are stable to disturbances of all input data
were constructed and studied. In this paper the developed approach is generalized to the
constrained convex minimization. The proposed methods generate regularizing algorithms
for quadratic and convex minimization problems, in contrast to direct methods that do not
have this property

The conical Radon transform, particularly relevant for Compton camera applications, maps a given function to its surface integral over a set of cones. This study focuses on
the weighted conical Radon transform, obtained by incorporating a weight effect into the conical Radon transform detailed in [20]. The n-dimensional weighted conical Radon transform
is first defined, following which its inversion formula is derived by expressing its projection as
a convolution.

Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to numerically simulate the flow of steam/steam-water
mixture through one periodic cell of a submerged perforated sheet, which is an important
element of the separation scheme of a horizontal steam generator. The OpenFOAM code is
used as a calculation tool. First, the flow of single-phase steam was considered. A comparison
of the values of pressure drops on the perforated sheet obtained using the OpenFOAM code
for two turbulence models with pressure drops determined by other CFD code FlowVision,
various approximate formulas and experimental data shows that the variation of all values
does not exceed 10%. The influence of a liquid film on the flow of steam through the hole
and the resulting pressure drop is investigated. It is shown that the water film reduces the
pressure drop on the perforated sheet by about 6% compared with the flow of single-phase
steam.

The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental challenges posed by tailings storage facilities in Kyrgyzstan, focusing on their impact on citizens’ right to a safe environment. Key issues identified include water pollution, hazardous waste management, and inadequate regulatory oversight. Using environmental reports and legal documents, as well as a risk assessment of critical sites like the Kumtor mine, the study highlights gaps in existing legislation and institutional mechanisms. The findings underscore the urgent need for systematic data updates, transparent licensing, and enhanced monitoring systems to strengthen environmental protection. To address these challenges, we propose several actionable recommendations: implementing independent public audits, developing a digital platform for real-time environmental monitoring, and introducing mandatory environmental certifications for mining companies. These measures aim to ensure that Kyrgyz citizens have access to a healthier and safer environment, while also supporting sustainable resource management.
