História quilombola no chão
Authors: Palermo Buti Rafael
Published: September 2021

Este artigo apresenta práticas de ensino em antropologia realizadas na Unilab do Campus dos Malês, no Recôncavo Baiano. Tomando como referência atividades realizadas em colaboração com/nas comunidades quilombolas da região, a intenção é propor modos de ensinar que levem em consideração as perspectivas, lugares e formas de conhecimento das pessoas que engajamos no fazer antropológico. Ao deslocar os processos de aprendizado para os territórios e lugares onde a vida das pessoas se realiza, pretende-se mostrar que o ensino de antropologia pode ser uma experiência imersa na vida. Ressalta-se que a inclusão de metodologias colaborativas comunitárias nos modos de ensinar antropologia é efeito da democratização do acesso à universidade pública no Brasil, e uma forma de sedimentar a virada pedagógica em benefício da representatividade epistêmica das pessoas e grupos sociais historicamente excluídos dos espaços universitários.

Published: September 2021

Background: Prostasomes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) abundantly present in seminal plasma, express distinct tetraspanins (TS) and galectin-3 (gal-3), which are supposed to shape their surface by an assembly of different molecular complexes. In this study, detergent-sensitivity patterns of membrane-associated prostasomal proteins were determined aiming at the solubilization signature as an intrinsic multimolecular marker and a new parameter suitable as a reference for the comparison of EVs populations in health and disease.

Methods: Prostasomes were disrupted by Triton X-100 and analyzed by gel filtration under conditions that maintained complete solubilization. Redistribution of TS (CD63, CD9, and CD81), gal-3, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and distinct N-glycans was monitored using solid-phase lectin-binding assays, transmission electron microscopy, electrophoresis, and lectin blot.

Results: Comparative data on prostasomes under normal physiology and conditions of low sperm count revealed similarity regarding the redistribution of distinct N-glycans and GGT, all presumed to be mainly part of the vesicle coat. In contrast to this, a greater difference was found in the redistribution of integral membrane proteins, exemplified by TS and gal-3. Accordingly, they were grouped into two molecular patterns mainly consisting of overlapped CD9/gal-3/wheat germ agglutinin-reactive glycoproteins and CD63/GGT/concanavalin A-reactive glycoproteins.

Conclusions: Solubilization signature can be considered as an all-inclusive distinction factor regarding the surface properties of a particular vesicle since it reflects the status of the parent cell and the extracellular environment, both of which contribute to the composition of spatial membrane arrangements.

Valoração econômica dos serviços ecossistêmicos da zona costeira - o caso do PNMLJ pelo método dos custos de viagem
Authors: Silva Otelino Nunes da , Scherer Marinez Eymael Garcia
Published: September 2021

Classificar e estimar o valor econômico dos serviços ecossistêmicos da Zona Costeira poderá chamar a atenção da sociedade para a importância dos benefícios gerados pelos seus ecossistemas. Assim, utilizou-se o Parque Natural Municipal da Lagoa do Jacaré das Dunas do Santinho (PNMLJ) como estudo de caso, no intuito de demonstrar a relevância ecológica e socioeconômica de serviços ecossistêmicos (SEs), em especial os aqueles culturais de recreação e lazer. Na área de 221,07ha foram mapeados cinco ecossistemas naturais, compreendidos por 53,29% de Mata Atlântica, 24,47% de Restinga, 14,17% de Duna, 5,09% de Costão rochoso e 2,25% de Banhado. Também foram identificados dois sistemas representativos de uso do solo: o Urbano com 0,70% e o Reflorestamento com 0,02%. Somado ao Parque a área de 119,57ha do ecossistema praial, totalizou 340,63ha de área de estudo. Utilizou-se a Classificação Internacional de Serviços Ecossistêmico (CICES) para elaborar um quadro sintético dos SEs. Ao todo foram identificados 20 serviços ecossistêmicos, sendo: 4 de Provisão, seguidos por 5 de Regulação e Manutenção; e, 11 Culturais. Desses últimos, 6 SEs culturais de recreação e lazer foram escolhidos para a valoração econômica pelo Método dos Custos de Viagem.O valor resultante do Uso do PNMLJ foi estimado em R$ 25.897.281,78 por ano. Esse valor estabelecido pelo turismo anual demonstra o valor agregado dos SEs para alavancar a economia em diversos setores. O uso desses serviços poderia ser taxado para a manutenção e conservação dos SEs, garantindo a qualidade de vida da sociedade humana e a renda proveniente do mercado turístico. Aos tomadores de decisão e gestores de áreas naturais remanescentes na Zona Costeira, cabe utilizar dos conhecimentos aqui expostos para acelerar os processos efetivos de preservação dessas áreas, seja por meio da elaboração e efetivação de planos de manejo; criação de novas Unidades de Conservação; estimativa de valor para compensações ambientais; contribuição financeira pelo uso dos SEs, valor de referência para aplicação de multas; entre outros.
Serum and Urinary Levels of Nitric Oxide and Uric Acid in Nigerian Children with Asthma
Authors: Arinola Olatunbosun , Olaiya Temiloluwa , Edem Victory , Rahamon Sheu
Published: September 2021

Background: Asthma is associated with increased production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and an alteration in the levels of antioxidants activities in the lung and blood. The increased production of the superoxide anion radicals contributes to airway remodelling and disease severity. Physiologically, the effect of increased free radical generation is eliminated by corresponding activities of a network of antioxidants. Presently, there is the dearth of information on the steady-state concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) and uric acid (UA) in children with asthma. The serum and urinary levels of NO and UA in children with asthma were thus determined in this study. Methodology: Fifty children consisting of 25 children with asthma and 25 age-matched apparently healthy children without asthma were enrolled into this study. Serum and urinary levels of NO and UA were determined using standard methods. Results: Serum levels of NO and UA were significantly higher while the urinary levels of NO and UA were significantly lower in children with asthma compared with the controls. There was no significant correlation between the serum ad urinary levels of NO and UA in children with asthma. Also, gender differences were not observed in the serum and urinary levels of NO and UA in children with asthma. Conclusion: Children with asthma have elevated serum levels of NO and UA accompanied with suboptimal urinary excretion. Therefore, children with asthma might benefit from routine renal function assessment owing to damages that can result from systemic accumulation of UA with concomitant reduction in its urinary excretion.
Expecting to teach a novel golf putting task did not enhance retention performance: A replication attempt of Daou and colleagues
Authors: McKay Brad , Hussien Julia , Carter Michael , Yantha Zachary , Ste-Marie Diane
Published: September 2021

While research has identified several practice variables that purportedly enhance motor learning, recent replication failures highlight the importance of conducting high-powered, pre-registered replications. The "expecting to teach" phenomenon was first reported in the motor learning literature by Daou and colleagues and suggested learners benefit from practicing with the understanding they will later need to teach the skill. The extant data have been mixed but generally positive. While expecting to teach has been shown to enhance motor learning of a golf putt, the mechanisms linked with this benefit are yet to be determined. As such, this study sought to replicate the expecting to teach effect and to extend those findings by exploring participants’ thought processes. Participants (N = 76) were randomly assigned to one of two groups in which they were told that they were learning a golf putt in order to 1) be tested on the skill or 2) teach the skill to another individual. On Day 1, participants completed pre-test putts, a pre-acquisition intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI), a 2-minute study of an instructional booklet, 50 practice putts and a post-acquisition IMI. During practice, participants were also afforded opportunities to continue studying the booklet and to complete additional putts. Participants returned 24 hours later to complete a retention, a transfer (50-cm longer golf-putt), and a free recall test, as well as a post-study survey to reveal thoughts they engaged in after practice but before (or during) the retention test. Similar to Daou et al., no significant differences were found with study time, number of acquisition putts, or motivation. However, golf-putting performance during retention resulted in no differences for radial error, g = -0.13 (95% C.I. [-0.55, 0.29]), between the two groups and no differences were shown for the recall test. The present study fails to replicate the benefits reported in the original experiments.
Exámenes telemáticos: aprendizaje y calificación. Problemas técnicos y jurídicos
Authors: Tardío Pato José Antonio
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo constituye un análisis de los exámenes telemáticos en su doble vertiente: de instrumento de aprendizaje, por un lado, y de mecanismo calificador, por otro. Se efectúa un estudio de los exámenes telemáticos en las ciencias jurídicas tanto desde su perspectiva técnica como jurídica y así, se examina, desde un punto de vista jurídico, el uso de la cámara de control en la realización de dichos exámenes y en la grabación de los mismos, así como de los demás medios de vigilancia informática (e-proctoring). Se llega a la conclusión de la necesidad de ponderación (propia del principio de proporcionalidad) de determinados derechos del estudiante tomado como referencia, por un lado, y de la eventual lesión, por dicho estudiante, de determinadas normas y de ciertos derechos del resto del alumnado, por otro. Como derechos que hay que ponderar del estudiante de referencia, cabe destacar los derechos a la propia imagen, a la intimidad, a la inviolabilidad del domicilio y a la protección de datos. Y, en la otra parte de la balanza, hay que resaltar, entre otros bienes jurídicos protegidos, la posible lesión del derecho del resto del alumnado a la igualdad de oportunidades y no discriminación en el ejercicio de sus derechos académicos y la vulneración del derecho a la evaluación del rendimiento académico con criterios públicos y objetivos, que, claramente, excluye la evaluación con fraude.

Ever since Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) it has gradually become top cause of morbidity. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) possesses the tendency to cause severe symptoms in patients with a weakened immune system. In the setting where a mother develops mild COVID-19 infection yet remains stable, responds to medical treatment and there is no fetal compromise; the pregnancy may be continued to term with close surveillance. What is important in the current scenario is that the patients of COVID-19 along with any other comorbidities or medical conditions are at more risk of having fatal disease then the ones with COVID-19 alone. The pregnancy is one physiological condition in which a patient can face drastic pathological complications with COVID-19 if not given the due care.

Authors: Sohail Shaherzad , Dar Lubna Raiz
Published: September 2021

Background and Objective: Infectious disease outbreak caused by novel Coronavirus is a global public health concern. In this pandemic, pregnant women are high risk population. Knowledge and data on the effect of this COVID-19 disease on pregnant females and their newborns is limited. Number of cases is increasing day by day. Aim of the current study was to provide evidence-based knowledge related to effects of Coronavirus on pregnancy to improve the understanding of the COVID-19 disease. Methods: This is a systematic review, carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Shalamar Medical and Dental College, Lahore. The available published research data from January 1st 2020 to May 13th 2020, on the effects of Coronavirus in pregnancy was collected. On the basis of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines the articles in English were selected from electronic databases PubMed and Goggle scholar. Results: The information gathered is organized in five main themes namely; Clinical manifestations of COVID-19 during pregnancy, risk of vertical transmission, issues related to breast feeding, care during antenatal period and labor and strategies for prevention. The main concern is to focus on best clinical practices for care of pregnant females. Conclusion: Clinical manifestations of Coronavirus infection in pregnant females are not different from general population. There is on strong evidence of risk of vertical transmission. Best antenatal care and care during labor is the right of all pregnant females whether suspected or infected and it must be according to the standardized guidelines. Breast feeding is encouraged either with full protection of transmission of droplet infection or my expressing milk manually. Vaginal delivery is safe and preventive strategies for the disease available for general population must be adapted by the pregnant women also to avoid getting the infection.

Authors: Ashraf Javed , Aqeel Iffat
Published: September 2021

Background and Objective: Congestive Heart failure (CHF) is an increasing clinical syndrome with frequent exacerbation requiring a very close follow-up to prevent hospitalization. Due to current lockdown situation related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, CHF patients suffered by having limited access to their physicians and therefore are more vulnerable and at higher risk for CHF exacerbations requiring CCU admission. There is no data so far in Pakistan using telemedicine to manage CHF patients. The present study aimed to use telemedicine to manage CHF patients at home, keeping them safe from COVID-19 in order to prevent exacerbation of CHF. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out at Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. A total of 31 established CHF patients were enrolled to manage them at home via telemedicine after taking the approval from Institutional Review Board. Patients were followed via telemedicine every two weeks for a total period of 8 weeks. Data was analyzed in SPSS version 20. Mean with standard deviation was calculated for quantitative variables like age. Frequency and percentages were calculated for qualitative variables. For determining any significant difference between the stratified groups, the Chi-Square test was applied hence taking Pvalue ≤ 0.05 as significant. Results: Among 31 patients, mean age was 54.4 ± 11.121 years. A total of 60% were males. Average Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction (LVEF) of 26.9% was seen. Patients were followed on defined CHF monitoring parameters including weight changes, new or worsening ankle edema or breathing difficulty. Patients were trained to record and report their daily vitals. A total of 14 patients reported CHF symptoms and 11patients required adjustment of diuretic dose with successful management. Only two patients ended up being admitted in Coronary Care Unit (CCU) for CHF exacerbation and at 8 weeks there was no significant change in the weight gain or renal functions as a result of medicine adjustment due to telemedicine. Conclusion: Telemedicine during current lockdown related to COVID-19 pandemic is an effective strategy to manage CHF patients at home while keeping them safe from Corona virus infection.

Published: September 2021

Background and Objective: COVID-19 has emerged as a serious threat to the public health. It has been declared as Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) because of morbidity and mortality associated with it all over the world. The objective of the present study was to analyze COVID-19 related fatalities in terms of comorbidity, length of hospital stays and critical illness in Allied hospitals of Rawalpindi Medical University. Methods: A retrospective hospital data-based research was carried out on n = 25 fatalities registered in three Allied hospitals (Rawalpindi Institute of Urology & Transplantation, Benazir Bhutto Hospital and Holy Family Hospital) of Rawalpindi Medical University. The data included age, gender, date of admission and death, severity of illness, comorbidity, oxygen administration or ventilator support and was gathered through consecutive sampling. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.0. Fisher’s Exact test was applied to determine statistical significance of association between comorbidity and need for ventilation. Statistical significance of association between length of hospital stay and comorbidity was verified by independent sample t-test. Results: Of the total n = 25 COVID-19 related fatalities in Allied hospitals, 76% were males. The mean age of study subjects was 55.9 ± 15.28 years. The greatest number of overall deaths was among 51 – 70 years old patients. About 44% fatalities had comorbid states with hypertension and diabetes constituting the highest (45.4%) proportion. Comorbidity had statistically significant association (P < 0.02) with need of ventilators in critically ill patients while length of hospital stays depicted insignificant association with comorbidity (P > 0.80). Conclusion: People above the age of 50 years are more likely to die due to COVID-19. Comorbid states of hypertension and diabetes should be carefully managed to avoid grave consequences.

Published: September 2021

Background and Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic starting from China has been spread internationally. This rapidly spreading and high mortality epidemic of Coronavirus caused significant anxiety and panic globally and affected more than 197 countries. This study aims to assess the anxiety level among health care professionals working on frontline against Coronavirus disease in teaching hospitals of Bahawalpur. Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted in Bahawal Victoria Hospital and Civil Hospital Bahawalpur from February to April 2020 after taking ethical approval from institutional ethical review committee. A total of 343 physicians and nurses were surveyed through predesigned, pretested questionnaire after taking written informed consent from each respondent. Anxiety was assessed by using Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). The sociodemographic variables of the respondents were cross tabulated with anxiety levels and Chi-square test was applied to assess statistical analysis. P-value less than or equal to 0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Mean age of the participants was 37 ± 10.54 years. Majority of the study participants (39.6%) were in the age range of 31 to 40 years. More than two thirds (69.7%) respondents were working on Contract/Adhoc basis. Job experience of 270 (78.7%) participants was between 1 – 5 years. Statistically significant association was observed between severity of anxiety and job status (P < 0.001), marital status (P < 0.001) and job experience (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Job status, marital status and experience of health care professionals has significant association with severity of anxiety which suggest that hiring of healthcare professionals should be on permanent basis which will ensure their job security that may help to reduce their anxiety level and improvement in performance.

Comparison of Pattern and Outcome of COVID-19 in Pakistan and Its Neighboring Countries
Authors: Rafique Moniba , Rafique Iqra
Published: September 2021

The world is facing a severe and acute public health emergency due to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. How individual countries respond in the coming weeks will be critical in influencing the trajectory of national epidemics. The mortality and morbidity rates reported so far and healthcare demands anticipated, are based on data from China and other high-income countries; marked variations in underlying health conditions of general public, capacity and strength of healthcare systems and vision of policy makers will likely result in different patterns in low income settings. This review is focusing on variations in pattern and outcome of SARS-COV-2 in Asian region in comparison with some neighboring countries. In conclusion, the aged population with co-morbidities has deadly outcome. As asymptomatic carriers are source of transmission of disease to vulnerable subjects, therefore, we need to continuously develop, monitor and implement prophylactic and therapeutic strategies to combat this deadly virus over the next months to years. A possible explanation of different outcome in different country can be ascribed by the presence of comorbidities, average age of population that are infected with virus and the use of some drugs that induce the cell expression of receptors for the virus.

Introduction: Organizational professionalism is the set of competencies and behaviors that define professionalism for healthcare organizations. Those organizations have an opportunity to influence the behavior of healthcare workers and managers collectively. The resulting culture could have remarkable effects on patients, staff, and the overall performance and productivity of the organization. This article seeks to explore the concept of organizational professionalism among healthcare managers and administrators, who observe organization-wide practices such as a patient complaint and suggestion system, interaction with patients and their families, and coordination with health professionals on a daily basis, in Ministry of Health and Prevention, in United Arab Emirates.

Method: A quantitative descriptive approach was carried out using Administrators Professionalism Survey (APS). The survey was distributed to n=195, n=89 responded (response rate was 46%).

Results: The majority of participants were female (83%) and Emirati , (76%), administrators (62%), and of middle age (31–40 years, 48%). The average overall agreement across five professional attributes was 76%. The highest score was for patient engagement (84%) and the lowest was response to community needs (71%). Healthcare managers perceived those attributes slightly higher than did administrators, except for certain domains like patient engagement and daily operation. Around one third of participants (26%) suggested that accountability can be cultivated through organization culture.

Conclusion: The perception of organizational professionalism has some variations among administrators who are at leadership positions than none. The author noticed that healthcare managers were more reluctant to agree or were undecided about many statements across all domains. By contrast, administrators were almost sure about their answers and showed more knowledge about daily operations and patient perceptions. Participants defined accountability as part of organizational professionalism as commitment to assigned roles and responsibilities. In addition, they perceived that accountability can be cultivated through leadership. However, they failed to relate accountability to overall hospital roles and responsibilities, which is a required competency for healthcare managers and leadership in the MOHAP.
SAİD EFENDİ’NİN MANZUM ŞURÛTÜ’S-SALÂT ADLI ESERİ

Onuncu asırdan itibaren İslam medeniyetine dâhil olmaya başlayan Türkler, İslam dininin etkisinde klasik bir edebiyat meydana getirmişlerdir. Dinî-tasavvufi kültürün tesiriyle meydana gelen bu yeni dönemde itikadi ve muamelata dair birçok edebi eser meydana getirilmiştir. Bin yıllık süre zarfında meydana getirilen türlerden biri de ilmihalin bir kolu olan manzum şurutu’s-salatlardır. Doğu edebiyat geleneğinin bilgiyi ve değeri şiirle daha kolay bir şekilde öğretebilmesinden dolayı manzum olarak meydana getirilen bu eserlerde, halka dini vecibelerin daha kolay bir şekilde öğretilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla edebî sahada muamelat konularından namaz, oruç ve hac ile alakalı olarak; Salât-nâme/Şurûtü’s-salât, Savmiyye, Ramazaniyye ya da Ramazan-nâme, Hac-nâme ya da Menasik-i Hac tarzında eserler meydana getirilmiştir.

Bu çalışmamızda, kimliği hakkında bilgi sahibi olamadığımız Sâid mahlaslı bir zat tarafından kaleme alınmış olan Şurûtü’s-Salât adlı eser üzerinde durulmuştur. Manzumenin kütüphanelerde tespit edilen tek nüshasından hareketle çalışma meydana getirilmiştir. Manzum bir mukaddime ile başlayan eser, abdest, teyemmüm, gusül ve namaz konuları, tilavet secdesi, iman ve İslam ile alakalı konular muhtasar bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Şiirin duyguya hitap eden etkisinden ve rahatlıkla ezberlenebilme gücünden faydalanmak isteyen şairin kurduğu metinde öğreticilik esası ön planda olduğundan vezin ve kafiye hususundaki teknik kusurların yanı sıra edebî zevk eksikliği hususunda kimi eksiklikler dikkat çekmektedir. Çalışmamızda Manzum Şurutu’s-Salat adlı manzumenin eski yazılı metnini çeviri yazı ile latinize edip, manzumeyi şekil ve muhteva yönünde değerlendirme yoluna gittik.
OSMANLI SİKKELERİNDEKİ DEĞER DEĞİŞİMİNİN TOPLUMA YANSIMALARI

Published: September 2021

Tarihte devletlerin ayakta kalabilmelerini sağlayan etkin noktalardan biri de ekonomileridir. Ekonominin temel taşlarını oluşturan vergiler, tarım, ihracat gibi alanların ortak noktası ise paradır. Devletlerin ekonomilerinin iyi olması; hazine rezervlerinin doluluk oranıyla, vergilerin zamanında toplanmasıyla, devlete bağlı kurumlarda çalışanların maaşlarının zamanında ve yeterli miktarda ödenmesi gibi birçok maddeden oluşmaktadır.
Osmanlı Devleti’nin kuruluşundan itibaren darp edilen sikkeler de devletin ekonomi politikalarında büyük rolü olmuştur. Osmanlının güçlü maliye politikaları zaman zaman sekteye uğramış olsa da hazinenin sıkıntılı günlerinde sikkeler üzerinde alınan kararlar hazinenin güçlenmesini dolayısıyla merkezi devlet politikasını da etkilemiştir. Ancak mali açıdan alınan bu kararlar zaman zaman devlet adına çalışan yeniçerilerin ve esnafından tüccarına birçok insanın fakirleşmesine neden olmuştur. Halkın ekonomik anlamda zorlanmasıyla birlikte çeşitli ayaklanmalar çıkarılarak, yapılan ekonomik reformlara karşı isyanlar başlatılmıştır. Bu isyanların bazıları bastırılırken bazıları idamla sonuçlanmıştır.
Bu bağlamda sikkelerin ekonomideki ve halkın üzerindeki etkileri düşünüldüğünde toplumlar da önemli rolü bulunduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı devletinin sikkenin üzerinde yaptığı; ayar, gram ve rayiç değişikliklerinin ekonomiye yansıması, sosyal etkisi ve sikkelerin bu bağlamda önemi ele alınmıştır.
İSTANBUL KASİDESİ’YLE SÜRGÜN ÜLKEDEN BAŞKENTLER BAŞKENTİNE ŞİİRLERİNİ MEKÂN ÜZERİNDEN TASAVVUR ETMEK

Kişinin karakteristik olarak şekillenmesinde mekân önemli işleve sahiptir. Bireyin dünya görüşü, hayata bakışı, sanat anlayışı mekâna yansıdığı gibi mekân da insan üzerinde doğrudan etkilidir. Türk şiirinde şiir-mekân ilişkisi fazla irdelenmemekle beraber Divan edebiyatında daha çok soyut ve hayali bir mekânın fon olarak kullanıldığı görülür. Bu Divan şiirinin zihniyetiyle ilgilidir. Zira Divan şiirinde minyatüri bir anlatım esastır. Nedim, İstanbul’u mekân olarak şiirlerinde sıklıkla işleyen önemli şâirlerdendir. Genel anlamda Divan edebiyatının klişeleşen yapısına bağlı kalıp alışılagelen anlayışın dışına çıkarak Divan şiirinde yenilikler yapmıştır. Nedim’in şiirlerinde mekân soyut ve hayali olmaktan ziyade somut ve gerçekçidir. Onun şiirlerine mekân tüm detaylarıyla yansır. Nedim sadece İstanbul’un doğal güzelliklerini ve eğlence merkezlerini resmetmez. Osmanlı Devletinin kültür ve medeniyet alanında eriştiği seviye hakkında da bizlere bilgi verir. Bu vasıflarından dolayı Lale Devri ve İstanbul şâiri olarak anılır. Yeni Türk edebiyatında mekân-şiir ilişkisi daha tabii, elle tutulur somut bir hal alır. Sezai Karakoç’un şiirlerinde İstanbul, sembolik bir anlam ifade eder. Karakoç’un şiirlerinde mekân merkezden çevreye doğru gittikçe genişlemektedir. Şâir, Nedim’e nazaran daha geniş bir mekân tasavvur eder. Nedim, mekân tasvirleriyle bizi Lale Devri’ne götürürken Karakoç, diriliş düşüncesi ekseninde merkeze İstanbul’u alarak tarihin derinliklerinden, bilhassa İslam tarihinden esinlenip medeniyet anlayışını ‘sürgün’ kavramı üzerinden anlatmaya çalışır.

Derleyicilerin kişisel tercihine göre şekillenen şiir mecmûaları, klasik Türk edebiyatının başlıca kaynakları arasında yer almaktadır. Şiir mecmûalarında daha önce tespit edilememiş şair veya şiirlere rastlanılabileceği gibi aynı şaire ait şiirlerin kelime, mısra ve beyit düzeyindeki farklı yazımlarına da ulaşılabilmektedir. Böylece şair ve şiirlere dair yapılan tespitler hakkında bilgi elde etme yolunda önemli adımlar atılmaktadır. Aynı zamanda mecmûa yapraklarında yazılan notlar, tarihler veya şahıs adları araştırmacılara mecmûanın yazıldığı dönem veya derleyici ile ilgili birtakım bilgiler sunmaktadır. Bu bilgiler, kimi zaman edebiyat tarihi açısından büyük önem arz etmektedir.

Şiir mecmûaları, belirli bir döneme dair şiirleri ihtivâ edebileceği gibi aynı nazım şeklinde veya türünde yazılmış şiirlerin bir araya toplanmasıyla da oluşabilir. Çalışma konusu olan bu mecmûada da farklı nazım şekillerinden müteşekkil ilâhî türünde kaleme alınmış şiirler yer almaktadır. Bu mecmûa, Milli Kütüphane Yazmalar Koleksiyonu 06 Mil Yz 7978 numarada kayıtlıdır. Mecmûanın derleyicisine veya yazılma tarihine dair her hangi bir bilgiye ulaşılamamıştır. Ancak mecmûada yer alan ilâhîlerin XIII ile XIX. yüzyıllarda yaşamış şairlere ait olduğuna bakılırsa bu mecmûanın XIX. yüzyıl ve sonrasında kaleme alındığını söylemek mümkündür.

Çalışmada, giriş kısmından sonra söz konusu mecmûanın fiziksel özellikleri ile içeriği hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda ise bu mecmûa, günümüzde araştırmacıların temel başvuru kaynağı olan “Mecmûaların Sistematik Tasnifi Projesi” kısa adıyla MESTAP tablosuna göre hazırlanmıştır.
GELENEĞE FARKLI YÜZYILLARDAN İKİ FARKLI BAKIŞ: NÂBÎ VE SEZAİ KARAKOÇ’UN GELENEK ELEŞTİRİSİ
Authors: IŞIK İsa
Published: September 2021

Toplumların muhtelif alanlarda birikim zenginliğini ifade eden gelenek, önceki kuşaklar ile sonrakiler arasında köprü vazifesi görür. Birçok alanda olduğu gibi edebî eserlerde de geleneğin gelecek kuşaklara aktarılması önemlidir. Çünkü bu eserlerin toplumların aynası olma gibi bir özelliği yanında, kültürel miras olma tarafları da söz konusudur. Bundan dolayı sanatçıların başarısı kendinden önceki mirasa ne ölçüde sahip çıktılarına da bağlıdır. Bir sanatçıyı başarılı kılan şeyin sadece gelenek olmadığı da âşikârdır. Çünkü geleneğe sıkı sıkıya bağlı olmanın da olumsuz tarafları vardır. Bu durum bir sanatçının yeniliklere kapalı olmasına sebep olabilir. Bu anlamda şair ya da yazar, gelenek ile yenilik dengesini iyi kurmalıdır. Sanatçılar geleneği gelecek kuşaklara aktarırken dar kalıplar içerisine hapsolmamalı, yeniliğe de açık olmalıdır. Bir sanatçıyı muvaffak kılan en önemli unsurlardan birisi bu dengenin ne ölçüde başarılı kurulduğudur.

Bu çalışmada, 17. yüzyıl şiirinin önde gelen şairlerinden Nâbî ile günümüz şairlerinden Sezai Karakoç’un gelenek eleştirileri zıtlıklar üzerinden tartışılmıştır. Tartışma yapılırken Nâbî’nin “usandık” redifli gazeli ile Sezai Karakoç’un “Gazel” başlıklı “düştü” redifli şiiri merkeze alınmış ve iki şairin geleneğe bakışları ve eleştirileri üzerinden tespitler yapılmıştır.

The aim of this study was to determine the type of lesions in birds referred to the clinic with the complaint of beak deformity, the potential presence of the lesions among the bird species, and the possible causes of the lesions and to report what treatment should be applied. Twenty-six individuals from several bird species with broken and abnormal beak deformities in the beak were presented to our clinics. Different forms of beak deformities were observed, and the causes of some of the lesions were determined as unknown. Beak lesions in wild birds were mostly traumatic fractures, whereas cage birds had parasitic infections and abnormal beak elongation due to nutritional disorders. Treatment protocols appropriate for the region of the beak, severity of the lesion, underlying cause, and type of bird were determined.

An adult yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) of unknown sex was evaluated with history of motor vehicle trauma and unable to fly. The patient, that on first examination showed no clinical sign, was diagnosed on second day with scapulohumeral luxation and avulsion fracture via 3-dimensional computed tomography. Computed tomography is a noninvasive, well-recognized diagnostic procedure in avian medicine. This is the first case report to describe use of computed tomography to diagnosis scapulohumeral luxation and avulsion fracture in a yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis).
