On The Etymological Aspect of Translation in Three Different Turkish Translated Texts of William Shakespeare’s 66th Sonnet
Authors: İPLİKÇİ ÖZDEN Ayşenur
Published: December 2022

This study aims to examine the interconnected Turkish translations of William Shakespeare’s 66th sonnet by Turkish translators Can Yücel, Talat Sait Halman, and Hasan İlhan in a lingual and etymological perspective that explores the origin of the words used in texts, takes word choices and repetitions used in the translations as the main domains of analysis, and that intends to investigate their effects on the meaning of the translation. The word choices for translation in the three different translated versions of the same original work and their etymological origins are taken as the main fields of analysis in question, and their effects are examined and compared. Though lingual analysis is concerned with various subjects such as style variation, sound and meaning; in this study, particularly word usages and word choices are taken as the essential examining domains of the three Turkish translations of the 66th sonnet. In addition, some further analysis is made respecting the origins of specific words by taking their etymological characteristics into consideration. In this way, this study expects to contribute to translation studies in terms of poetry translation by putting forth the lingual and etymological examination of the same sonnet in three different translated versions.
ЈЕСУ ЛИ ЏЕКСОНОВ И НЕЈГЕЛОВ АРГУМЕНТ ЗАИСТА СЛИЧНИ?
Authors:   Универзитет у Нишу, Филозофски факултет, Јовановић Милан
Published: December 2022

У овом раду ћу покушати да покажем две ствари које заједно чине један занимљив обрт у вези са међусобним односом два позната аргумента из фило- зофије духа. Прво, кроз проблематизацију стандардне интерпретације Нејгеловог аргумента са слепим мишевима настојаћу да покажем да је Џексон у праву да тра- диционално изједначавање његовог аргумента из знања са Нејгеловим аргумен- том није оправдано. Друго, што ће бити и главна поента овог рада, настојаћу да покажем да је, у светлу једне озбиљне критике аргумента позивањем на знање, и Џексонов став о односу између његовог и Нејгеловог аргумента могуће довести у питање. Наиме, инсистираћу на томе да, када се узме у обзир поменута критика, аргумент из знања у суштини остаје убедљив управо као антиредукционистички аргумент – а то је управо оно што, пак, Џексон тврди за Нејгелов аргумент. Ово опет чини оправданом тврдњу да су два анализирана аргумента заиста јако блиска, али сада се та тврдња оснива на другачијим разлозима.

Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is to analyze the causes of experiencing the feeling of loneliness from the perspective of the theory of psychic trauma. This paper is an analytical synthesis of the consequences of psychic trauma, among which is the feeling of loneliness with a clearly negative connotation. Synthesizing scientists' concerns in loneliness and psychotraumatology can be brought to a common denominator: when secure attachments between parents-children are severely disturbed, children experience an emotional chaos called - attachment trauma, which affects the psyche so that it is impossible to build healthy relationships of subsequent attachment, which is actually the feeling of loneliness. These children becoming adults spend their lives constantly looking for intimate connections with others, who did not have them with their parents, but who are doomed to failure with great disappointment. The situation can only be overcome by a psychotherapeutic process on attachment trauma.

The school-family partnership is an important current issue. The role of the school-family educational partnership is amplified in the context of the development and promotion of inclusive education. The study focused on strengthening the school-family educational partnership in the context of ensuring a quality inclusive education. We appreciate the school-family partnership not as an extension of the participation of the actors involved, but as a governing relationship of the actions orchestrated by a purpose and idea. We identify two main dimensions in the involvement of both the school and the family for the benefit of the child: the dimension of the child / parent relationship and the dimension of the school / family relationship. The school's collaboration strategy with the family in ensuring quality inclusive education is included in the school's Family Cooperation Program and includes the following areas: communication, parent information activities ¸ support for parents; learning together - at home, at school and in the community; decision making; volunteering,; collaboration with the community. A school-family partnership will ensure the success and full development of the child's potential, if they are respected: acceptance of the family, respect for the family and the connection with the family.

Çalışmanın amacı dünyanın hemen hemen her yerinde postmodern teknolojilerin yükselişi ve yaşlı nüfusun hızlı artışı karşısında yaşlı bireylerin karşılaşmış oldukları sorunlarının tespit edilmesi ve sosyolojik açıdan değerlendirilmesidir.
19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren yükselişe geçen postmodernizmin rekabetçi, özgürlükçü ve mobiliteye dayalı emek piyasası koşullarında; yaşlanma ile fiziksel ve biyolojik kapasite düşüşleri yaşayan yaşlı nüfusun, yetişkin genç nüfus karşısında; güçsüz, sağlıksız, üretmeyen, devamlı tüketen, geleneksel otoritesini ve statüsünü kaybetmiş dijital dünyaya ayak uyduramayan, ötekileştirilmiş istenmeyen bir grup olarak görülmelerine neden olmuştur.
İçinde bulunduğumuz yüzyılda doğuştan yaşam beklentisinin artması ve postmodern teknolojilerin yükselişi karşısında yaşlılara uygun teknolojik dönüşümler ve sosyo ekonomik yaşam tarzları sağlanamaz ise; yaşlı nüfus için teknolojik; yoksulluk, sağlık bakımı ve güçsüzlük gibi modernleşme öncesi dönemin yaşlılığa özgü tehlikelerinin yeniden dirilmesi (Polivka, 2006: 184) kaçınılmaz görünmektedir.
Postmodernizmin tüketim toplumu anlayışının, sayısal olarak oranı sürekli artan yaşlı nüfus üzerinden yeni tüketim alanları yaratması ve yaşlı kesimin diğer yaş grupları ile aralarındaki eğitim, teknoloji ve ekonomik alanlardaki seviye ve statü farklılıklarının neden olduğu sorunların tespitine yönelik yapılan bu çalışmada literatür taraması yöntemi uygulanmıştır.

Published: December 2022

Aim: Today, in almost all societies in which the gender equality and the position of women in society are often discussed, it is historically a social reality that individuals with different social, cultural, political and psychological backgrounds are subject to discrimination due to these differences. Subjects and Methods: This study aims to examine the effect of the attitude towards women and value orientation on gender role perception and it was conducted with 6054 students studying in different departments at Atatürk University Open Education Faculty. The data collection instruments used in this research are personal information form to determine the sociodemographic attributes of the participants, Attitudes Towards Women Scale, Schwartz Value Orientations Scale, Gender Role Perception Scale. Results: According to the findings of the study there is a significant relationship between gender role perception and attitude towards women, but there is also a negative relationship between gender role perception, attitude towards women and traditionality. It was found that the most effective variable predicting the gender role perception is attitude towards women. This finding shows that individuals' perceptions of gender role are more egalitarian when attitudes towards women are positive. Conclusion: It is considered that it would be beneficial to organize programs aiming at gaining the values of self-direction and universalism instead of the values of traditionality and security to ensure a positive change of attitudes towards women. In addition to this, it is considered that there is a need for longitudinal studies to change those attitudes.

Authors: Özdoğan Hasan B.E.
Published: December 2022

The present study was planned to determine an optimum live-feeding protocol for angelfish larvae (Pterophyllum scalare). Larvae with an initial weight of 0.10 mg, a length of 4.5 mm, and a depth of 1 mm were reared on three different feeding regimens for 30 days. All experimental larval groups were fed Artemia nauplii from the end of the yolk-sac resorption. The control treatment (Group I) was maintained on Artemia nauplii on days 14-28, and on Artemia nauplii + dry feed on days 29 and 30. Group II was reared with Artemia nauplii enriched with Algamac 3050 on days 14-28 and with dry feed + Artemia nauplii enriched with Algamac 3050 on days 29 and 30, whereas Group III was fed with Artemia nauplii enriched with Red Pepper on days 14-28, and with dry food + Artemia nauplii enriched with Red Pepper on days 29 and 30. The highest weight (37.8±0.51 mg) and length (15.8±0.35 mm) were determined in Group II with significant differences from the control group (p<0.05). However, enrichment treatments were comparable in terms of growth performance (p>0.05). The survival rate of the larvae in the treatments varied between 70-75% without significant differences (p>0.05). Overall, the study results suggest that a feeding protocol for angelfish larvae with the administration of Artemia nauplii during the first two weeks after hatching and then enriched Artemia with Algamac 3050 over the following 14-28 days followed by a gradual weaning onto dry feed.

Challenges and Pitfalls in the Introduction of Pharmacogenetics for Cancer
Authors: Loh Marie , Soong Richie
Published: December 2022

There have been several success stories in the field of pharmacogenetics in recent years, including the analysis of HER2 amplification for trastuzumab selection in breast cancer and VKORC1 genotyping for warfarin dosing in thrombosis. Encouraging results from these studies suggest that genetic factors may indeed be important determinants of drug response and toxicity for at least some drugs. However, to apply pharmacogenetics appropriately, a thorough understanding of the scope and limitations of this field is required. The challenges include an appreciation of biological variability, logistical issues pertaining to the proper management of information, the need for robust methods and adequate sample quality with well-designed workflows. At the same time, the economics of pharmacogenetic testing from the perspective of clinicians, patients, governments, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies will play an important role in determining its future use. Ethical considerations such as informed consent and patient privacy, as well as the role of regulatory bodies in addressing these issues, must be fully understood. Only once these issues are properly dealt with can the full benefits of pharmacogenetics begin to be realised.

Active (red) bone marrow (AM) exposure due to ingested bone-seeking radionuclides can lead to grave medical consequences. For example, a radioactive contamination of the Techa River in the 1950s caused exposure to AM for riverside residents and led to chronic radioactive exposure syndrome in some of them, with higher risk of leukemia. The main sources of the marrow exposure were the bone-seeking beta emitters 89,90Sr. Improving the dosimetry of AM internal exposure is an important step in clarifying the risks of chronic radiation exposure for riverside residents. To evaluate the energy absorbed by AM from incorporated 90Sr it is customary to use computational phantoms where radiation transport can be emulated. A phantom is a representative digital representation of skeletal bone geometry and AM The goal of this work was to develop a computational phantom of a newborn skeleton for dosimetry of AM from incorporated 90Sr. The researchers have used the Stochastic Parametric Skeletal Dosimetry method (SPSD), where hematopoietic sites were modeled as a set of phantoms of simple geometric shape describing individual skeletal bone areas. The AM content in the skeleton as well as the phantom parameters were evaluated on the basis of published measurements of real bones. As a result, a computational phantom of the main skeletal hematopoietic sites was generated for a newborn baby, including 34 phantoms of bone areas. The simulated phantom simulates the bone structure as well as the variability of skeletal parameters within the population and corresponds well to measurements of real bones.

Fraud has been a major factor to financial distress and poor operating performance of many organisations, this cut across all sectors, races, religious faiths and cultures. The recent increase in fraudulent activities as reported in many organisations worldwide are perceived to have adversely affected organisational going concern, dividend payout and stakeholders’ confidence, this calls for internal audit efficiency. Researches have been conducted on fraud, but not many studied the influence of Internal Audit Efficiency (IAE) on fraud prevention. Therefore, this study examined the probable influence of IAE on fraud prevention in Nigerian Listed Manufacturing Companies (NLMC). The study employed survey research design with a study population of 19,443 workers in ten selected companies in manufacturing sector. Sample size of 392 was determined with a response rate of 86%. Data were collected with a validated questionnaire, these were analysed by making used of descriptive and inferential statistics at 5% level of significance. The study revealed that IAE positively influenced fraud prevention (Adj.R2=0.349, F(3, 337)=59.502, p=.000). The study concluded that IAE influenced and has significant impact on fraud prevention in NLMC. The study further recommends that management should ensure good policies to guarantee independence of internal audit, establish a robust internal control mechanism to limit risk of fraud, and employ experience and professional staff into audit unit/department.

Botulinum toxin, the causal agent of botulism, is employed in therapeutic settings for a number of purposes. Botulinum toxin injections address aesthetic issues induced or worsened by muscle contraction by controlling local neurotransmission. Therapy has a transient impact; muscle recovery is generally clinically visible a few months following treatment. Improper injection placement or toxin diffusion to unintended locations following injection might result in severe muscular weakening, which can cause temporary deformity or functional problems. Some aesthetic flaws, such as eyelid ptosis and a perplexing brow, can be corrected with therapeutic procedures. In other circumstances, progress is contingent on the botulinum toxin's declining action over time.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of digital content marketing (DCM), price fairness (PF) on customer loyalty (CL) mediated by brand equity (BEQ) and strengthened by the moderating variable relationship equity (RE) in service companies’ courier. It is well known that trying to make customers loyal is one of the policy concepts so that a company can continue to operate, at least customers do not switch to competitors' service products. This effort is certainly more efficient than starting again looking for new customers with more intensive promotions and innovations. Re-introducing a product to customers means that we convey the branding of the product. In addition, this study aims to see what factors can increase brand equity. One of them is by presenting effective digital content marketing, shipping prices that match customer expectations (price fairness) and paying attention to the performance of service and communication with customers (relationship equity). The research design and method used in this research is hypothesis testing. This research is non-quantitative experimental, using a questionnaire given to 206 respondents who are customers who use courier services. Data analysis used SmartPLS software version 3.2.9 with the Structural Equation Model (SEM) multivariate analysis method. The results of this study indicate that based on respondents' perceptions of DCM and PF, they have a positive effect on CL mediated by BEQ. Although PF does not have a direct effect on CL, mediated by BEQ, PF can strengthen its influence on CL, this fact reinforces the importance of brand strength in a service product. Whereas RE has not been able to moderate BEQ to strengthen CL value in courier service companies. This research is expected to be an alternative consideration for courier service companies to increase customer commitment to remain loyal in using the services offered, considering that retaining existing customers is more profitable than finding new customers and as an additional reference for future researchers. The novelty in this study is to place digital content marketing as a variable that influences customer loyalty values both directly and indirectly.

Pear is a typical fruit of temperate zones with high nutritive values and organoleptic properties, but when this fresh fruit being harvested, it will undergo chemical changes which can cause spoilage and product deterioration. Freezing could be as a preservative method to maintain quality attributes (colour, texture) of fresh produce that change over time. The purpose of this study is to determine ascorbic acid content and antioxidant activity of frozen fruit treated with osmotic solution. Pears were pre-treated with blanching, osmotic and both blanching and osmotic solution prior to freezing. Two varieties of pear fruit which are Asian pear and Packham pear were analyzed for physicochemical (colour and texture), antioxidative properties (ascorbic acid content, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content) and sensory acceptability. The pears were subjected to different pre-treatments prior to freezing such as blanching and osmotic solution during storage. The results showed that colour attributes of frozen pears were significantly affected by treatment which in contrast to texture properties of frozen pears during storage. Ascorbic acid content of frozen Packham pear was recorded the highest (6.38 ± 0.96 mg/100 g) after treated in osmotic solution compared to frozen Asian pear, the highest (4.62 ± 1.15 mg/100 g) was found in blanching treatment prior to storage, both tested after day 1 of storage. When treated in blanching treatment, the antioxidant activity of frozen Packham pear using DPPH assay exhibited (84.61 ± 0.69 %) contains high scavenging activity on day 1, while for Asian pear (67.63 ± 2.37 %) in blanching treatment on day 3. Using seven-point hedonic scale, sensory acceptability shows that frozen Asian pear treated in osmotic solution was highly rated among consumers with overall acceptance of 5.80 ± 0.85. Thus, combination of pre-treatment which were osmotic and blanching and freezing helps to retain the quality of frozen pears during period of storage.
