Pós-modernidade e pós-colonialidade na literatura latino-americana: o trágico na Crônica de uma morte anunciada, de Gabriel García Márquez
Authors: Rosa Fatima Sabrina , Rosa Barbara
Published: April 2019

Resumo: Este ensaio tem por objetivo utilizar perspectivas discutidas em torno das teorias pós-modernas e pós-coloniais como aporte para estabelecer aproximações com a literatura latino-americana, especificamente, com a obra Crônica de uma morte anunciada, do colombiano Gabriel García Márquez. Essa proposta de aproximação surge da impressão causada pela obra no leitor, denotando traços do que poderia ser visto como uma perspectiva pós-moderna e pós-colonial sobre a história e sobre a própria escrita literária. Esses caminhos da questão “pós” podem ser percebidos em uma sensibilidade trágica, que alinha o texto aos debates pós-modernos, bem como na forma como o autor hibridiza a narrativa ao colocar na mesma “persona”, narrador, personagem e autor. As chamadas “histórias menores”, isto é, discussões acerca de temas importantes da crítica pós-colonial também estão presentes, em referências tangenciais à raça, territorialidade e gênero. Além dessas circunscrições mais visíveis sobre o “pós” na estrutura da crônica, este texto é uma tentativa de decodificar alguns símbolos utilizados pelo autor para ressignificar e deslocar certos pontos fixos da ficção e da história latino-americana.Palavras-chave: literatura latino-americana; trágico; pós-modernidade e pós-colonialidade.Abstract: This essay aims to use perspectives discussed on postmodern and postcolonial theories as a contribution to establish approximations with the Latin American literature, specifically with the Chronicle of a Death Foretold by the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez. This proposal of approximation arises from the impression that the García Márquez’ work provokes in the reader, denoting traces of what could be seen as a postmodern and postcolonial perspective on history and on literary writing itself. These paths of the “post” theory can be perceived in a tragic sensibility, which aligns the text to postmodern debates, as well as in the way the author hybridizes the narrative by placing the narrator, character and author in the same person. Also present in the book are the so-called “minor stories,” that is, discussions about the central postcolonial critique matters, such as issues about race, territoriality, and gender. In addition to these more visible circumscriptions about the “post” in the structure of the Chronicle, this text is an attempt to decode some symbols used by the author to resignify and dislocate certain fixed points of Latin American fiction and history.Keywords: Latin American literature; tragic; post-modernity and post-coloniality.

Published: April 2019

Background: Aim of the study was to evaluate the role of NST (labour admission test) as a screening method in management of low risk pregnancies and to study the correlation of NST with fetal outcome.Methods: A prospective observational study conducted over 500 patients managed at our centre after proper evaluation. Patients were evaluated for mode of delivery and neonatal outcome.Results: The maximum number 352 of patients belonged to 20-30 years age group, 113 patients belonged to 31-35 age group. 200 patients were of 37-40 weeks gestation and 185 were of 40-41 weeks gestation. There were 125 patients in the 41-42 weeks gestational period. Among the 500 pregnant mothers who were included in the study 82.6% had Normal NST, 11.6% had suspicious and 5.8% had pathological NST. Cesarean rate was 14.4% in normal NST group, 58.62% in suspicious group and 72.41% in pathological group study. 6.77% in Normal group had meconium stained liquor at delivery whereas 29.31% in suspicious group and 37.93% in pathological group had same.Conclusions: The non-stress test is an important screening tool to identity the fetus in jeopardy in utero. This enables an appropriate timely intervention to achieve the most favorable outcome.

Authors: Jain Rekha , Sharma Manisha , Gupta Shruti
Published: April 2019

Background: Intrauterine contraceptive device is a long acting, effective and reversible method of contraception. It can be inserted post placental during vaginal or LSCS delivery and within 48 hours of delivery.  This study evaluates the acceptance, safety, side effects and complications associated with immediate post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) insertion.Methods: The study was conducted at Hindu Rao Hospital and NDMC Medical College, Delhi for a period of 18 months. Patients admitted and delivered at Hindu Rao Hospital were counseled for PPIUCD, CuT 380 A / CuT 375 insertions and it was inserted within 10 minutes of delivery of placenta during vaginal delivery or LSCS or within 48 hours of delivery. Patients were followed at 6 weeks and then between 6 to 12 months of delivery for continuation, side effects or any complications.Results: After counseling 1253 (9.8%) patients agreed for PPIUCD insertion out of which 650 patients came for follow up. 46% women came for routine follow up while 54.06% came with one or the other complications. Missed thread was most common complications, followed by bleeding P/V and pain abdomen. Expulsion in 5.5% and CuT failure was seen in 0.92% women only. Removal of IUCD was done in 94 patients for one or other reasons. There was retention of PPIUCD in 84.5% while removal was done in 14.5% during period of 6 months to one year follow up. Missed thread was main cause of anxiety among acceptors.Conclusions: Immediate PPIUCD is safe and effective method of contraception with a high retention rate. Though acceptance in initial months was less but it gradually increased over time with increasing awareness, counseling of patients and training of health personnel.

Authors: S. Blessy Prabhu Priyanka , Vijayasree A. Padma , P. Devraj J. , B. Santosh Kumar , Mummadi Mahesh Kumar , Boiroju Naveen Kumar
Published: April 2019

Background: Pregnancy induced hypertensive disorders are one of the commonest complication of pregnancy which accounts for 12% of the maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Dyslipidemias are associated with endothelial dysfunction that may result in proteinuria and hypertension which is a clinical hallmark of PIH. It affects both maternal health as well as fetal growth. Hence, this study was done to assess the role of altered lipid profile in the development of PIH.Methods: A Case Control study was conducted at the Department of Biochemistry, Kurnool Medical College and Govt General Hospital, Kurnool in collaboration with its Obstetrics Dept during the period of November 2015-2017. A total of 300 pregnant women, primigravida /multigravida with singleton pregnancy, in the age group of 18‐ 35 years with >20 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Subjects were divided into gestational hypertensives, n=39 (BP ≥140/80) and preeclamptic women, n=111 (≥140/80 and proteinuria) as cases. Age matched normotensive pregnant women, n=150 (BP 120/80) were recruited as Controls. Subjects with history of multiple pregnancies, pregnancy with congenital anomalies, chronic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiac/thyroid/hepatic/renal disease, dyslipidemia were excluded. Total cholesterol, TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL were performed.Results: A comparison of these values between hypertensive and normotensive women showed a significant rise in TC, TG, LDL and VLDL. HDL-C showed a significant decrease in hypertensive women compared to normal pregnant women. LDL: HDL and TG:HDL ratios were higher in PIH group.Conclusions: The results of this study suggests an abnormal lipid metabolism, predominantly high TG concentrations and low HDL-C, which may add to the promotion of vascular dysfunction and oxidative stress seen in PIH. This association is significant in understanding the development of hypertension during pregnancy and is useful in early diagnosis and prevention of PIH.

Authors: Goel Alka , Narain Anupriya , Singh Khushboo , Bhardwaj Minakshi
Published: April 2019

Granular cell tumour (GCT) is tumours showing neuroectodermal differentiation. It occurs mostly in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue and occurrence in the muscle layer is rare. The most common site is the head and neck region. It has been known to occur in the vulva, with clitoris being a very rare site. Granular cell tumours are slow growing tumours, which are mostly asymptomatic. We report a case of lump in the clitoris in a 42-year-old woman which was managed with surgical excision. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of granular cell tumour. Very few cases of granular cell tumour of clitoris have been reported in literature till date. Although mostly benign, the differential diagnosis of granular cell tumour should be borne in mind by the clinicians in cases of clitoral lump.

Published: April 2019

Background: Still there is no standard technique for managing patients with concomitant gallbladder (GB) and common bile duct stones (CBDS). In this work, we report our experience of the management for gallstone disease and biliary duct calculi as a single stage treatment.Methods: Forty Patients with symptomatic gall bladder calcular disease and suspected CBDS were enrolled in the study. The outcome measures were operating time, CBD stone clearance, postoperative morbidity and mortality, the need to conversion to other techniques and hospital stay.Results: They were 13 males and 27 females of median age 43 years old. Intra opertative cholangiography (IOC) revealed single CBD stone in twenty-eight, two stones in eleven and three stones in only one of the patients. The mean operating time had been 175 min. There were no intraoperative complications with a mean hospital stay was 1.8 days (range, 1-4 days).Conclusions: One-stage lapro-endoscopic procedure in the management for gallstone disease and biliary duct calculi is safe and efficient in CBD stone clearance. It is preferred when facilities and experience in endoscopic therapy exist.

Published: April 2019

Background: Urine cytology is an important investigation in the management of urothelial cancer. It is particularly an important test in the management of urinary tract cancers because of its non-invasive nature. Objective of study to review our practice of urine cytology as a diagnostic tool in the management of urinary tract pathology.Methods: A seventeen years retrospective study from 1st January, 2001 to 31st December, 2017 where records of patients who had urine cytology in Usmanu Danfodio University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH), Sokoto, Nigeria were reviewed and data was extracted and analyzed using the SPSS 20.Results: Of the 766 specimens, representing 10.1% of all cytology done in UDUTH (7,554) during the period under review, the highest number of urine cytology was done in 2013 (12%). The age range of the patients was between 2 to 90 years with modal age of 60 years. Majority of the patients were between the ages of 51 to 60 years (24.7%) and male to female ratio was 6.3:1. The commonest indication for urine cytology was bladder tumour (66.8%). However, the commonest cytological diagnosis was negative (44.6%) while 19.3% showed Non Specific Chronic Inflammation and only 77 specimens were malignant representing 10.1% of the specimen.Conclusions: Despite its variable sensitivity, urine cytology remains a useful tool in evaluating suspected bladder malignancies and can serve as an adjunct to cystoscopy in these cases.

Published: April 2019

Background: The objective of the study was to evaluate the superiority of preemptive analgesia with instillation of 0.5% bupivacaine before rather than after surgery for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: A prospective, randomized study of 264 patients in whom laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) was conducted in the department of General Surgery at the SSG and Medical College Baroda during a period of 25 months from October 2010 to October 2012. Randomization was done with prepared close enveloped which randomly allocate the patient in either group A or B. Data collected from each patient were: age, sex, ASA score, hospital stay, duration of surgery, no of trocar used, first request for analgesics, vomiting, duration of surgery, intraperitoneal drain was kept or not , length of hospital stay, any other postoperative complication.Results: During the period of 24 months total 264 patients were undergone cholecystectomy. On comparison between Group A and B, data shows that the mean  VAS is less at all assessment (4, 8 & 24 hrs) for Group A as compared to Group B. Mean parietal pain score VAS is less for Group B as compared to Group A at all assessments.Conclusions: Use of bupivacaine in optimal dose in GB bed reduced the visceral pain and use in skin, SC tissue, muscular tissue reduced the parietal pain. Use of bupivacaine before GB removal is much more cost effective than after removal of GB.

Authors: Nambi Deepa , Giridharan Bhanumati
Published: April 2019

Background: To compare the performance of Ranson’s Score (RS) and Glasgow Score (GS) with Revised Atlanta Classification (RAC) in prediction of mortality, and to check their suitability to replace RAC for surgical intervention of gallstone induced acute pancreatitis (GAP).Methods: A hospital based prospective study was conducted between April 2014 and May 2017 with patients presenting with GAP. RS and GS was evaluated using data in first 24 hours and at 48 hours post admission. Patients were classified into mild, moderate and severe based on RAC at the time of hospital stay. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for each scoring system. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves for mortality, ICU admission, Organ Failure (OF) and Gallstone Recurrence (GR) were plotted and predictive accuracy of each scoring system was measured by the Area under Curve (AUC). AUC values were compared for statistical significance using De Long test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Of 81 patients, 15 patients had OF and local complication classified as SAP, with persistent OF (16.0%). The AUC for RS was consistently the highest for predicting mortality (0.943), recurrence of gallstone (0.766), ICU-admission (0.801) and OF (0.852). RS had high specificity (61.9%), PPV (88.2%), Accuracy (90.1%) for predicting mortality, recurrence of gallstone and OF. Glasgow criteria had high sensitivity (85.1%), NPV (79.4) in predicting ICU-admission.Conclusions: RS in comparable with RAC in predicting mortality, GR in patients with GAP and early referral for surgical intervention.

Published: April 2019

Background: Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is currently the surgical treatment of choice for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in properly selected patients.Methods: Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication was performed in 36 patients of GERD, Government Medical College over a period of 2 years. Pre-operative evaluation included baseline investigations and clinical assessment by using GERD Questionnaire and specific investigations i.e., barium esophagram, esophago-gastroduodenoscopy, esophageal manometry and 24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring of the esophagus. All patients underwent laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication. Patients were evaluated at three months after surgery with symptom scoring questionnaire.Results: Mean age of patients in our study was 38 years and most common symptoms were heartburn and regurgitation. Four patients (11%) developed complications. The conversion rate to laparotomy was 2.7% (1 patient). Average symptom scores decreased from 10/18 to 0/18 after fundoplication (<0.0001) and all the eight patients who underwent postoperative endoscopy had normal results.Conclusions: Laparoscopic Nissen’s fundoplication is a safe and effective procedure for GERD, having an acceptable hospital stay with consistently improved short term symptomatic and endoscopic results.
A comparative evaluation of analgesic effects of using intravenous paracetamol versus intravenous diclofenac post-operatively in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients in SMIH, department of surgery, Dehradun
Authors: Bijalwan Anurag , Singhal Pradeep , Altamash Syed
Published: April 2019

Background: Post-operative adequate analgesia plays an important role in early mobilization, short hospital stay and patient satisfaction in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The use of opioids for providing postoperative analgesia has been marked by side effects like vomiting, nausea, sedation, respiratory distress, etc. hence, alternate drugs like paracetamol (PCM) and diclofenac are commonly used. In this study, we have compared the analgesic efficacy and any associated side effects of the two commonly used non-opioid NSAIDS namely paracetamol and diclofenac.Methods: We compared 50 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in ASA I and II. They were randomly divided into two groups, Group A and Group B. Group A was administered intravenous PCM and Group B was administered injection diclofenac sodium. Postoperatively, these patients were assessed for pain, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and presence of any side effects like nausea, vomiting or any respiratory discomfort.Results: The mean DBP, MAP and VAS score was significantly (p-value <0.05) in Group A as compared to Group B patients at 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively. There was no statistically significant difference in mean SBP and O2 saturation in both groups. The mean pulse rate was lower in Group A as compared to Group B at 8, 12 and 24 hours.Conclusions: This study concluded that postoperative PCM infusion provided better analgesia for a prolonged period of time with minimal side effects.

A 3 days old child presented with chief complaints of bilious vomiting and abdominal distention since few hours duration. Prenatal history revealed mother to be polyhydraminos and pregnancy induced hypertensive was on treatment with labetolol. Baby was a term, emergency lscs delivery. On examination baby was active, alert and with fair hydration. On per abdominal examination abdomen was distended and dilated bowel loops were seen. On per rectal wash pale jelly stools were expelled. Baby was taken up for emergency laprotomy and found to be having illeal atresia for which resection and anastamosis is done. Post operatively baby was doing well with satisfactory weight gain. Intestinal atresias are the major cause of intestinal obstruction in cases of neonates. They may be illeal or duodenal atresia. It is hypothesized to be occurring due intrauterine vascular assault and failure of recanalization. Babies present with vomiting and abdominal distention with mother having a positive history of polyhydraminos. On examination there will be abdominal distention with dilated bowel loops. X-rays would show dilated bowel loops and ultrasound shows decreased peristalisis in the bowel loops. Emergency laprotomy and surgical resection is the treatment of choice.

Published: April 2019

Background: Three different artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) namely; artesunate-amodiaquine, artemether-lumefantrine and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (being the latest to be introduced) are concurrently being used for the treatment of falciparum malaria in Ghana. This study assessed patients’ experience, perceptions and willingness to use dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine, brand name duo-cotecxin as an alternative first line ACT for the treatment of falciparum malaria in Northern Ghana.

Methods: This was a qualitative study using phenomenology approach where sixty in-depth interviews were conducted with two groups; thirty patients who were given duo-cotecxin, one group and thirty interviews with patients who were given other ACTs (artesunate-amodiaquine, artemether-lumefantrine) as another group. The interviews were conducted between August and November, 2015 Purposive sampling technique was used to select study participants. The interviews were transcribed and coded into themes using QSR NVivo 11 software for thematic content analysis.

Results: All patients who used duo-cotecxin reported that the drug was very good in treating uncomplicated malaria compared to other ACTs they had used in the past. Some of the patients who used other ACTs could not complete their doses because of the side effects. However, none of the patients who used duo-cotecxin reported side effects. The findings revealed high acceptance and preference to use duo-cotecxin to treat uncomplicated malaria compared with other ACTs. All the participants were also willing to recommend duo-cotexcin to their relatives and friends to use.

Conclusions: Duo-cotecxin as an alternative first line ACT for treatment of uncomplicated malaria is highly accepted, preferred and there was willingness to use it compared with other first line recommended ACTs.
Schema Games - An Extension of Wittgenstein’s Language Games
Authors: H Lenk
Published: April 2019

Methodological-epistemological PrologueFor more than three decades I developed a rather methodological philosophy of a comprehensive “schemainterpretationism” [1] including an epistemology, action theory as well as cognitive, social and cultural approaches. There is also a Kantian flavor involved - though more flexible than his categories and “schematism”.

Human beings do cognize and act only by schematizing, i.e. by activating or using schemes. They are essentially schematizing beings and even, characteristically, meta-schematizing creatures: they would not only use schemata but can and do also talk about such schemes, patterns, structures, frames, conceptual schemata, configurations, constructions etc. on higher meta-levels. Activating and using schemes may be understood as interpreting. Forming, activating, understanding and applying schemes in the widest possible sense, are processes, if structural or exploratory etc. These are interpretative activities (see diagram below) or even conscious goal-oriented or ritualized acts proper.

İnsanları dezavantajlı kılan tüm ayrımcılık biçimleriyle mücadele eden sosyal hizmet, mesleğin üyeleri olan sosyal hizmet uzmanlarından da bu mücadelenin öncüleri olmalarını bekler. Sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının çalıştığı ve hizmet alan gruplardan biri olan yaşlıların haklarının korunması, refahların sağlanması için öncelikle yaş ayrımcılığının ortadan kaldırılması gerekmektedir. İnsanların yalnızca yaşı nedeniyle maruz bırakıldıkları yaş ayrımcılığı, diğer ayrımcılık biçimleri gibi üzerinde düşünülmeden benimsenen kalıpyargılarla üretilmektedir. Bu nedenle yaş ayrımcılığıyla mücadeleye, söz konusu kalıpyargıların ortadan kaldırılması çabalarıyla başlanmalıdır. Bu çalışma, sosyal hizmet bölümü öğrencilerinin yaşlılığa ilişkin kalıpyargılarına dair farkındalık kazanmaları gerektiği kabulünden hareketle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada Hacettepe Üniversitesi, Sosyal Hizmet programının zorunlu bir dersi kapsamında yapılan çalışmalar sonrası, öğrencilerin kalıpyargılarına dair keşiflerini ortaya çıkartmayı amaçlayan yansıtıcı günlükler uygulanmıştır. Yansıtıcı günlüklerin içerik analizinden ilki, “yaşlı nüfusa yönelik genellemeler”, ikincisi ise “huzurevlerine ilişkin ezbere değerlendirmeler” olan iki temaya ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, öğrencilerin yaşlılığa ilişkin kalıpyargılarını keşfetmiş oldukları ve bu yargıların dönüşmesi gerektiğine ilişkin bir bilinç geliştirdikleri görülmüştür.

Published: April 2019

Background: Human hydatidosis is endemic in northeastern Iran. The present study aimed to investigate molecular diversity of Echinococcus granulosus isolates collected from human surgically.
Methods: Sixty human hydatid cysts (58 lung cysts and 2 liver cysts) were collected through surgery from Ghaem and Emam Reza hospitals in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences during 2015-2016. Cysts were characterized using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) gene and sequencing fragments of the genes coding for mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit I (nad1).
Results: Overall, 55 out of 60 Echinococcus granulosus cysts (91.6%) were determined as the G1 strain, 4 cases (6.6%) were determined as the G6 strain and 1 sample was not identified.
Conclusion: Although sheep strain (G1) is dominated in human patients in Great Khorasan, the prevention of camel-dog cycle should pay attention in this region.
Darwin & Kubrick, Joe Campbell & Me: Eminent-Genius and Everyday-Joe Heroes on a Journey
Authors: Velikovsky Joe T.
Published: April 2019

This article examines the lives of two eminent geniuses, scientist-writer Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and writer-artist-filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999), as monomythic hero’s journeys. The article is in three parts: Part One (Separation) presents Vogler’s (1992) twelve-step monomyth, a compressed version of the 17-step monomyth hero’s journey pattern identified by comparative mythographer Joseph Campbell (1949) in The Hero with a Thousand Faces. In Part Two (Initiation) the twelve-step monomyth narrative algorithm (Vogler, 1992) is used to explain the eminent genius lifework of Charles Darwin, and this same twelve-step lens is then applied to the eminent genius lifework of Stanley Kubrick. Part Three (The Return) applies the same twelve-step monomyth to the author-researcher of this article (Velikovsky), aiming to demonstrate how the monomyth applies not only on large scales to eminent geniuses such as Darwin and Kubrick in Science and the Arts, but also on small scales—even to Everyday Joes such as myself, thus also supporting Williams (2016, 2017). The conclusion drawn is that the monomyth pattern is a life-problem and also domain-problem solving tool, supporting the heroism science research of Allison (2016) and Efthimiou (2016a, 2016b). As this research is transdisciplinary, the disciplines of the research presented are: Communication and Media Arts, Information Science and Technology, Creativity Studies, Consilient Narratology, Evolutionary Psychology, and Metamodernism.

They were divided into an experimental group and control group, each of which consisted of 10 people.  After the data were analyzed using non-parametric Mann-Whitney test, it was found out that  = - 1553; sig = 0.121 (p>0,05), which means there was no significant difference between the level of depression on students in the experimental group after the intervention and the level of depression on students in control group. Afterward, according to the analysis result on Wilcoxon score in the post-test and interview by the experimental group, it was found out that Z score = - 0,609a and p score = 0,542; therefore, p > 0,05. It means Quranic counseling is relatively effective to decrease the level of depression on the students. Despite there was no significant difference between the experimental group and control group, the depression level on the experimental group, however, did not increase even though the Quranic counseling had been given over two weeks before.

We
report a very rare and extraordinary complication, metal head fatique fracture
at the site of the socket tip deep border and coin like metal corpora libera in
two cases with metal on metal total hip prosthesis. Catastrophic wear at the
site of the deep border of the collum socket and coin like loose body
originating from the crom-cobalt head resulted with metallosis, osteolysis and
failure. The outcomes of the revision operations were satisfactory and the
patients returned to their daily activity without discomfort in their hip.
Headwear is a well-known result of the metal on metal articulation and may present
with instability, metallosis, pain and mechanical symptoms. These incidents
might be important to investigate for tribological performance of hip implants
in biotribology science. We believe -3 sized metal head usage might be the
reason of this catastrophic complication their usage should be avoided in metal
on metal artroplasties.

Authors: Benyagoub Elhassan
Published: April 2019

In this work, we are interested in studying the investment challenges of packaged reconstituted milk production in Southwest of Algeria. To reach this objective, we have calculated the cost price of two products (pasteurized milk and
fermented milk) which present the main production line of the dairy factory of Bechar, to assess the profitability of the company. The cost price of milk was calculated from the general balance that shows all the movements of the accounts which we
have established the table of counting results ‘TCR’ corresponding to the different charges directly related to the milk manufacturing. The analysis of spending data showed that for this factory, the cost price of one liter of pasteurized milk was
estimated at 27.06 DZD/L compared to fixed selling price at the dairy factory level (23.20 DZD/L), which reveals a deficit of -3.86 DZD/L (-16.63%), while produced fermented milk showed a profit of +14.65 DZD/L representing a margin of distribution
equivalent to (+60.16%) of the cost price that was estimated at 24.35 DZD/L. This study provides a platform which can be used, not only, to define the ability of dairy factory to overcome competitive market challenges, but also the pre-requisite
programs (PRP) installation challenges required to implement a quality system promoting the quality of milk and dairy products.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of certain phytoingredients on the physico-chemical and sensory qualities of dry pork cubes dried by solar and oven drier. Oven-drying was done at 60°C while solar drying was done at 55-60°C.
The results showed that during oven-drying and solar-drying the dry matter and protein contents of the dried samples decreased (p less than 0.05). Due to addition phytoingredients there are certain changes in the proximate composition of the dry
products. TBARS values of the samples were affected due to antioxidant contents of the phytoingredients. The solar-dried samples had higher acceptability level than the oven-dried samples. The products were kept in aerobic and vaccum packaging method
at room temperature and changes were observed during storage up to six months. The results were attributed to the various changes that occurred during the drying process. Solar-drying of meat samples could be adopted under the hot humid environment
done under hygienic conditions.

Chicken jalebis- a new snack was prepared by incorporating 23% non meat ingredients(Black gram flour, Bengal gram flour, corn flour, rice flour, semolina flour) at different proportions with 55% chicken (Broiler meat) to find out the best
formulation without affecting the physico-chemical, microbial and organoleptic qualities of the product. Non meat ingredients were fermented for 24 hrs with curd at room temperature. Chicken was collected from local market, deboned, minced and
processed. Different formulations of chicken jalebi batter were prepared by mixing broiler minced meat with fermented non meat ingredients, spices, oil, salt and ice to form a stable emulsion. The batter is then stuffed in a conical shaped plastic
packet and pressed in such a manner to give a jalebi shape and then fried in sunflower refine oil at 180±50C for 5-10mins. One part of the chicken jalebis was immersed in tomato sauce, prepared from tomato magi sauce with little modification and
other part was kept as such and then sensory attributes were evaluated and it was found that chicken jalebi containing rice flour was highly accepted by the consumers.

Pola dan Teknis Baru Pendistribusian Zakat di Indonesia
Authors: Cholidi Cholidi , Zuraidah Zuraidah
Published: April 2019

The provision of zakat aims to improve the economic condition of mustahik (zakat recipient) and overcome some of the problems they face. From year to year, there is an increase in the amount of zakat received by the institutions that manage it. However, up to now there are still many mustahik who are still living under a decent and adequate line. This shows that the role of zakat in improving the economic condition of mustahik is not yet very visible. Or in other words the performance of zakat is not yet maximal in controlling poverty. It is more ironic that disasters sometimes occur in the zakat distribution area. This event implies that there is a mistake in the management of zakat, especially in the field of distribution. Is there a mistake in distributing zakat in Indonesia? Therefore, the question arises: Is there no clue from the Qur'an and or hadith about the pattern and technical distribution of zakat? This research will found the pattern and technical conclusions in: (1) Zakat pick-up (2) Do not move zakat (3) Circles (spirals) like conch shells.

KADI BURHANEDDİN ve NESÎMÎ’NİN ŞİİRLERİNDE GEÇEN BİTKİ VE HAYVAN ADLARI ÜZERİNE
Authors: MURAD Sibel
Published: April 2019

Selçuklular
döneminde bilim dili olarak Arapçanın, edebiyat dili olarak da Farsçanın
kullanılması Oğuz Türkçesinin yazı dili olmasını zorlaştırmıştır. Selçukluların
yıkılmasından sonra yaşanan Anadolu Beylikleri döneminde, Oğuz Türkçesi yazı
dili olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. 13.-15. yüzyıllar arasında Anadolu’da farklı
konularda tercüme ve telif birçok eser verilmiştir. Bu eserlerden halkı eğitmek
amacıyla yazılanlar genellikle Oğuz Türkçesiyle verilirken, edebî eserlerde
Arapça ve Farsça, Selçuklu Dönemi kadar olmasa da varlığını sürdürmeye devam
etmiştir. Bu dönemde Oğuz dil dairesi içinde yaşamış şairlerin şiirlerinde
kullandıkları Türkçe kelimeleri tespit etmek, gerek şairlerin yaşadıkları
coğrafya çerçevesinde oluşan Türkçe bilincini belirlemek, gerekse şairin
muhayyilesinde yaşayan Türkçe kelime hazinesini ortaya koymak bakımından
önemlidir.

Bir
şairin şiirlerinde kullandığı kelimeler, o şairin hayal dünyasının fotoğrafıdır
düşüncesinden hareketle bu çalışmada Anadolu’da yaşayan Kadı Burhaneddin’le
(öl. 1398), onunla yakın dönemde yaşamış olan Seyyid Nesîmî’nin (öl. 1417 ?) şiirlerinde
bulunan bitki ve hayvan adları karşılaştırılacaktır. Mukayese edilecek olan bu
iki şairin en önemli ortak özelliği, şiirlerinde Azerbaycan Türkçesi
özelliklerinin bulunmasıdır. Çalışmada, bu şairlerin şiirlerinde geçen bitki ve
hayvan adları tespit edilerek Türkçe kelimeleri hangi sıklıkla kullandıkları
ortaya konacak, bitki ve hayvan adlandırmalarında tutulan yol ve şairlerin bu
sözcükleri kullanım yeri ve biçimi üzerinde değerlendirmeler yapılacaktır.
