Prestigious Weapons, Horse Tack, and Warrior’s Attire from the Great Migration Period in Cimmerian Bosporos
Authors: Kazanski Michel , Mastykova Anna
Published: December 2023

The symbolic role of prestigious weapons, horse tack, and “military” costume as the owner’s social level marker is well known. Moreover, the artefacts of “ceremonial” military dress and horse tack form reliable markers of cultural ties and military-political orientation of the ruling elites in ancient societies. Prestigious weapons were made by order or took as spoils of war. Furthermore, “ceremonial” weapons and horse tack were diplomatic gifts and appeared in symbolic investiture of barbarian “kings.” This article addresses the finds originating from Cimmerian Bosporos and dated from the Great Migration, or the Hunnic (last third of the fourth to the second third of the fifth century) and Post-Hunnic Periods (second third of the fifth to the second third of the sixth century): swords, scramasaxes, helmets, shields, horse tack, and “military” costume parts. They meet with parallels both in the Empire and the Barbaricum. Simultaneously, the attire in question misses important artefacts like T-shaped brooches of the Roman administrators of higher ranks and barbarian “royal” gold bracelets with widened ends. Generally, in the case of Cimmerian Bosporos, military aristocratic culture from the Great Migration Period featured two traditions associated with the great powers of antiquity, the Romano-Byzantine and Iranian ones, with the first predominant among the number of finds. The Eastern Roman Empire’s sphere of military and political influence in the Ponto-Caucasian steppes extended very far, as long as the area controlled by the Sabiroi Huns inhabiting the North-Eastern Caucasus. However, political and, accordingly, military influence of Sassanian Iran in Caucasus is attested by written sources, where it is also confirmed by striking finds of prestigious weapons. This way, Cimmerian Bosporos appeared at the crossroads of these two military traditions of the great powers of antiquity.
“Grand Councillor’s” Trading Fort: Caravanserais in Mediaeval Karasu
Authors: Lomakin Dmitry , Lomakina Mariia , Aibabina Elena
Published: December 2023

This article generalizes and systematises the experience of studying mediaeval caravanserais in Karasubazar, with the ruined site of one structure located on the territory of the modern city of Belogorsk (Republic of the Crimea). Various groups of historical sources have been used, with considerable attention to the journals of numerous travellers who visited the Crimean Peninsula (P. S. Pallas, P. I. Sumarokov, F. Dubois de Montpereux, A. N. Demidov, etc.). The earliest travelogue was written by Evliya Celebi. This Ottoman traveller observed the largest khan in the town (hereinafter referred to as the Upper Tash-khan, or Sefer Gazi-aga’s caravanserai) shortly after its significant reconstruction and strengthening, which was probably made with the view of the need to strengthen the defences of the town and its residents in the view of regular devastating raids of the Cossacks in the 1620–1630s. The widely used graphic sources, particularly the works by C. Bossoli made in the early 1840s, indicate that the buildings in question were abandoned and lost their former function. The analysis has been made of the works of K. F. Bogaevskii, whose sketches of Crimean antiquities made under the order from the KrymOKhRIS (Section / Sub-department / Committee for the Protection of the Monuments of Art, Antiquity, and People’s daily Life in the Crimea) reflected the preservation of the monuments in the mid-1920s with photographic accuracy. Pencil sketches by U. A. Bodaninskii have been used as well. A set of photographs from the collections of the Bakhchisarai Historical and Cultural Archaeological Museum Preserve, A. V. Shchusev State Scientific Research Museum of Architecture (Moscow), and Central Museum of Taurida (Simferopol) allowed the ones to reconstruct the appearance of the site in the 1920–1930s. The participation of academic institutions in the study of cultural heritage sites of Karasubazar in the first half of the twentieth century has been analysed, and the activities of the Central State Restoration Workshops which sent the architect B. N. Zasypkin to the Crimea have been considered. The main stages of the creation and functioning of the trading khans in the town under study have been characterized, and the architectural analysis has been done.
Conodont-based correlation of marine units in lower Conemaugh Group (Late Pennsylvanian) in Northern Appalachian Basin
Authors: Heckel Philip H. , Barrick James E. , Rosscoe Steven J.
Published: December 2023

Recent development of more global correlations of late Middle through mid-Late Pennsylvanian marine cyclothems in the Midcontinent Basin of North America with similar cyclic successions in the Moscow and Donets basins of eastern Europe, make it appropriate to establish a more accurate correlation of the Midcontinent cyclothems with those in the Illinois and Appalachian basins, where they are separated by fossiliferous terrestrial strata. Marine units in the lower Conemaugh Group of the Northern Appalachian Basin contain conodont faunas that are similar to those described from the Midcontinent succession. Updated brief descriptions and illustrations of these Appalachian faunas allow direct correlation of these Appalachian marine units with the major marine cyclothems of the Midcontinent and Illinois basins. These faunas also clarify the correlation of named units among the states of the Northern Appalachian Basin, and thus correct a long-standing miscorrelation of the Pine Creek Limestone of Pennsylvania with the Cambridge Limestone of Ohio. The Pine Creek Limestone contains a distinctive conodont fauna that underpins its correlation with the Upper Brush Creek Limestone of Ohio, while the Cambridge Limestone contains a younger fauna that allows its correlation with the Nadine Limestone of Pennsylvania. The Brush Creek Limestone of Pennsylvania contains a distinctive conodont fauna that indicates its correlation with only the Lower Brush Creek Limestone of Ohio. Clarification of the correlations of these marine units from the Appalachian Basin to the Midcontinent Basin will better constrain the correlations of terrestrial fossil localities in the Appalachian and Illinois basins with the global marine time scale.
Multiproxy reconstruction of Late Pleistocene-Holocene environmental changes in coastal successions: microfossil and geochemical evidences from the Po Plain (Northern Italy)
Authors: Dinelli Enrico , Ghosh Anupam , Rossi Veronia , Vaiani Stefano Cladio
Published: December 2023

Despite the overwhelming control exerted on worldwide coastal evolution by the Lateglacial-early Holocene sea-level rise, high-frequency rapid palaeoenvironmental changes are recorded within a thick postglacial succession buried beneath the southern Po Plain (Northern Italy). Amultidisciplinary study involving sedimentology, micropalaeontology (benthic foraminifers and ostracods), geochemistry (major, minor and trace elements) and radiocarbon dating (14C) on a 40m-long core (240-S5) retrieved inland of the Holocene beach ridges, allowed the reconstruction of articulate coastal scenarios and dynamics - including stages of drainage reorganization. An alluvial plain nourished by the Apenninic Savio River developed in response to low sea-level conditions during the last glacial period. During the first stages of deglaciation (Lateglacial period) the study area was flooded and a coastal plain evolved near the coeval lagoon basin. Subtle change in microfossil content documents the occurrence of a short-term progradational episode that led to the temporary establishment of more terrestrial conditions (likely attributed to the Younger Dryas event - ca. 12,500 cal years BP). Complex and unstable Lateglacial palaeoenvironmental scenarios, and a mixed contribution from two Apenninic rivers (Savio River and Fiumi Uniti system), are suggested by the geochemical composition of coastal sediments. A distinctive flooding event, possibly related to the MWP-1B, caused the abrupt replacement of the coastal plain by a barrier-lagoon system. This landward shift of facies was synchronous with a source area change from the Savio River to the Fiumi Uniti system, triggered by an important phase of drainage system reorganization. Short-term changes in microfossil content also highlight the occurrence of two early Holocene episodes of lagoon infilling not accompanied by significant changes in sediment composition. The complete infilling of lagoon, which evolved in a swamp basin, took place only after ca. 7,600 cal years BP. The establishment of hypohaline environmental conditions is supported by subtle changes in geochemical composition.
The Dababiya Quarry Corehole in Dababiya Natural Park, southern Nile Valley, Egypt
Authors: Senosy M. M. , Abdel-Sabour A.
Published: December 2023

Following the selection of the black clay level at 1.56 m in the DBH section in Dababiya Quarry as the GSSP of the Paleocene / Eocene boundary there arose a question of whether somewhat better preservation of biotic and sedimentary components might be present in the adjacent subsurface. An attempt at retrieving continuous core samples was made in in two locations. The first location was directly beside the GSSP (DBH) surface section, and the drilling continued to depth 20 m from the ground-surface with poor surficial/initial recovery. A second corehole was drilled ~ 200m east of the DBD section, and the drilling penetrated to 140 m. The cores were logged lithologically in the field, then wrapped in plastic sheets and placed in special wood boxes for storage. The cores are now located in the core facilities of the in the Geology Department, Assiut University and are undergoing further studies following recent complementary/ additional sampling by Dupuis, Aubry and Berggren (March 2012).
Ammonites from the Dababiya Quarry Corehole: Taxonomic notes and age assessment
Authors: Goolaerts Stijn , Dupuis Christian
Published: December 2023

We describe a small collection of ammonites from the Dababiya Quarry corehole. It is almost entirely composed of heteromorph ammonites, in particular of scaphitids and baculitids. The presence of Indoscaphites pavana (Forbes 1848), which is for the first time reported from Egypt, points to a late to possibly latest Maastrichtian age for the interval DBD 80.36–DBD 99.11 of the Dababiya Quarry core. This is corroborated by preliminary data on planktonic foraminifera.
Uppermost Cretaceous to lowermost Eocene benthic foraminifera of the Dababiya Corehole, Upper Nile Valley, Egypt
Authors: Alegret Laia , Ortiz Silvia
Published: December 2023

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from the Dababiya Corehole have been analysed as part of a multi-disciplinary study. Upper Cretaceous to lowermost Eocene sediments (Dakhla Shale, Tarawan Chalk and Esna Shale Formations) recovered from this corehole contain abundant and diverse benthic foraminifera, which allowed us to carry out detailed quantitative analyses of their assemblages and to infer paleoenvironmental changes. Assemblages are dominated by taxa typical of the Midway-type fauna, and of outer shelf environments. In this paper, we document for the first time the benthic foraminiferal assemblage turnover and changes in the paleoenvironmental conditions in this part of the southern Tethys from the latest Cretaceous to the earliest Eocene.

The Death of Oneself and the Meaning of Life in “Nero” by Miguel Torga
Authors: De Castro Soares Maria Luísa , De Castro Soares Maria João
Published: December 2023

The paper aims to analyze the tale “Nero,” from the work Bichos by Miguel Torga. In this work, some emphasis is firstly given to the relations of implication between the man, the environment, and the work of the poet originating from Trás‐os‐Montes, who gives voice to the Tellus Mater—that is, to “Mother Earth” (Feijó 167–84; Soares 293–303). Secondly, the work focuses on the questions of finitude and the meaning of life. In the form of an analepsis, an autodiegetic gaze of the partridge dog Nero turns to the past and, at the moment of its death, remembers the main events of its existence while recognizing that it was worth living. Written in 1940—to wit, in the context of the Portuguese dictatorship of the New State—the tale “Nero” thus alerts the reader to the value of life but also to its finitude and to the importance of building a meaningful existence, which transits through responsibility, freedom, the definition of goals, and personal choices.

Published: December 2023

Clutch systems are the auxiliary system for transmitting the power and torque obtained in the internal combustion engine to the gearbox, starting the vehicle, and providing gear changes. The different use of the clutch pedal directly
affects the performance and fuel consumption of the vehicle. Research on fuel economy, performance, etc., in vehicles, is costly and time-consuming. In the studies conducted by researchers on braking and gearbox, experimental test
equipment that allows the vehicle to operate in many different parameters and instantaneously control fuel consumption has been used. The studies have generally focused on braking and gearbox-related studies. This study investigates
fuel consumption values at different pressing distances of the clutch pedal. In the experiments, with the engine at a constant speed of 3000 1/min and the gearbox in second gear, the fuel consumption at 0-20-40-60% depressions
of the clutch pedal were measured. According to the data, fuel consumption values increased with increased clutch pedal depressing distance.

Determinan Pola Konsumsi Dharuriyyah, Hajiyyah dan Tahsiniyyah (Studi Kasus Pengguna Marketplace di Kota Malang)
Authors: Muslimah Nanda Islachul , Vietha Devia SS
Published: December 2023

The advancement of technology in the era of digitalization offers convenience to consumers for quick and easy shopping through digital platforms such as marketplaces. Marketplaces provide various products and services, ranging from basic needs to luxury items. This convenience creates new opportunities and challenges in understanding consumer behavior, especially in terms of how a consumer's consumption patterns correspond with Islamic values in the context of meeting their needs. This research aims to analyze the determinants or factors influencing the consumption patterns of a Muslim consumer in meeting various levels of needs, such as financial literacy, hedonic motivation, technological proficiency, and price discounts. A case study was conducted on marketplace users in Malang City using a quantitative method and multiple linear regression analysis. The research results indicate that a consumer's financial literacy and technological proficiency, as well as the presence of price discounts, have an effect on their consumption patterns at the dharuriyyah, hajiyyah, and tahsiniyyah levels of need. However, hedonic motivation does not affect consumption patterns at all levels of needs. By understanding the effect of these factors on consumption patterns, this research offers valuable insights into how consumers perceive and prioritize their various needs in the ever-evolving digital environment.

Glass eel viability determines the success of cultivation and governs the recruitment variability, as seeds in aquaculture and its wild population, respectively. This study aims to examine the quality of glass eel using biometric measurements coupled proximate contents. Glass eel collection was made montly by using lift-net like fishing gear in Cimandiry Estuary during December 2020 - April 2021. Biometric aspects were examined on length, weight, eye diameter, heart, and liver, whereas proximate was run on proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and ash. The results showed that length and weight steadily increased between month, though the condition factor was indifferent. Eye diameter and mouth opening confirm the vision of diurnal predatory fish. Heart and liver have demonstrated the metabolism capability and fast swimming fish favors to migratory catadromous fish. Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and ash fluctuated between month, though insignificant between month comparison. No clear confirmation of proximate analysis on biometric characters. However, the glass eels with largest size in April might be best for aquaculture.

Published: December 2023

Kemiskinan masih menjadi persoalan klasik dan semakin kompleks. Terminologi kemiskinan tidak hanya menyangkut dimensi ekonomi (material), namun juga dimensi budaya. Kemiskinan budaya yang dimaksud, berkenaan dengan gagasan, sikap dan praktik-praktik yang dinilai negatif serta secara tidak langsung menjerumuskannya pada kemiskinan ekonomi. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah menjelaskan bagaimana profil kemiskinan budaya pada satu komunitas berpendapatan rendah di kota Bogor. Kemiskinan budaya yang dimaksud di sini adalah pola nilai, keyakinan, sikap dan praktik khas yang berkembang di kalangan para individu dalam mengadaptasi dan mereaksi posisi marjinal mereka. Pola-pola perilaku ini seringkali tersosialisasi dari generasi ke generasi sehingga melanggengkan posisi marjinal mereka dalam lingkungan komunitasnya. Sikap dan praktik yang diamati berkenaan dengan 4 tema yaitu hakikat hidup, kerja, waktu, dan pemanfaatan sumberdaya. Pendekatan penelitian yang dipilih untuk menyelidiki gejala kemiskinan budaya ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif (survei) dengan didukung data kualitatif.  Responden penelitian adalah seluruh penduduk berpendapatan rendah (26 responden) pada Komunitas Taru, Kota Bogor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penduduk berpendapatan rendah cenderung bersikap moderat dalam memandang hidup, bekerja untuk orientasi kedudukan, dan cenderung hanya berorientasi ke masa kini. Sementara, tidak nampak budaya buruk dalam memanfaatkan sumberdaya. Mereka umumnya menunjukkan sikap hemat dan merawat sumberdaya.

The incidence of contraceptive dropout in West Java is still high. Analyzing the reasons would help to improve programs. This study explores the relationship between predisposing factors and the incidence of contraceptive dropout in West Java. The research was cross-sectional and conducted from August to December 2021, and the dataset came from Program Performance and Accountability Survey (Survei Kinerja dan Akuntabilitas Program, SKAP) 2019. The sample in the study were women of childbearing age 15–49 years with married status both ever and currently using contraception—a total of 338 samples with simple random sampling. This study used univariate, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression to analyze the discontinuation of contraception. A study has shown a relationship (p<0.05) between parity, education level, level of knowledge, and the incidence of contraceptive dropout. Furthermore, age and employment status did not affect them. In conclusion, a relationship exists between predisposing factors such as education, parity, knowledge, and contraceptive dropout. There is a need to emphasize the health promotion of contraception, especially for women of childbearing age with marital status, low education, fewer children than two, and inadequate knowledge level. In addition, contraceptive service standards should be implemented to prevent the incidence of contraceptive dropout.

Distribution of mosquito nets is one healthcare strategy implemented to control the number of malaria cases in Indonesia. East Nusa Tenggara is one of the provinces contributing to high malaria rates. Cases are high in several areas, including Central Sumba regency. This study aimed to describe the behavior of the people of Mamboro and Katiku Tana sub-districts in using long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs), the number of LLINs owned, number of beds, number of family members, number of pregnant women and toddlers, distribution of LLINs in families, and LLINs utilization. This is a descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted in the work area of the Mananga Health Center of Susu Wendewa village of Mamboro sub-district and Malinjak Health Center of Makata Keri village of Katiku Tana sub-district, Central Sumba regency. The research was carried out from 9–19 September 2021 with 341 heads of families as respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Most families had LLINs (n=287; 94.1%); the total number of LLINs owned was 341, used by 1,220 (94.7%) family members with ten pregnant women and 35 children under five. The number of installed LLINs was 290 units (85%), LLINs obtained from the health centers within 1–3 months was 44% (126 families), 314 units (92%) were used while sleeping, and there were still family members who did not use LLINs every night. We conclude that the acceptance and utilization of LLINs should not stop at the distribution of LLINs to the public and must be supported by an evaluation in the form of regular surveys to ensure that LLINs are correctly used.

Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheria. Accurate and prompt diagnosis is essential for effective case management, predicting disease prognosis, preventing complications, and ensuring cost-effective medical intervention. This study aimed to assess the variety of clinical symptoms exhibited by pediatric diphtheria cases during an outbreak. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the medical records of pediatric diphtheria cases at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital from November 1, 2017, to February 28, 2018. The study involved 202 cases, and statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Out of the 202 cases, 58.4% were male. Age distribution was <1 year: 7.4%, 1–2 years: 3.5%, >2–5 years: 24.8%, >5–12 years: 45.5%, and >12 years: 18.8%. Anamnestic findings revealed the presence of fever in 88.1% of patients, pain upon swallowing in 73.3%, and cough in 55.4%. Clinically, every patient exhibited pseudomembrane formations. Other findings included bilateral tonsillar involvement in 53%, lymphadenopathy in 40.1%, bullneck in 17.8%, and snoring in 7.9%. Four significant variables were associated with the diphtheria diagnosis: fever, snoring, bullneck, and snoring (p<0.05) respectively. Clinical signs and symptoms are pivotal in establishing a diphtheria diagnosis in pediatric cases.

Combining chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin with herbal products or other compounds that can enhance cytotoxicity without side effects is required. Thus, we aimed to observe the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin and sesoot (Garcinia picrorrhiza) fruit ethanolic extract (GpKar) on human fibroblast cells, BJ. This study used a post-test-only control randomized group design with n=3 and a number group of 5. The method used in this research is cell number, and viability was measured with (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium assay. Treatments consisted of a combination of doxorubicin (0.02 μg/ml) and GpKar of 66.47 µg/ml (DES1), 132.94 µg/ml (DES2) and 265.89 μg/ml (DES3). The data were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and Duncan post hoc tests. DES3 showed the lowest viability among treatments (89.32%). DES1 and DES2 showed high viability (>90%), 97.93%, and 95.08%, respectively. Thus, the combination of doxorubicin (0.02 μg/ml) and GpKar (66.47 µg/ml) was considered safe for further use in the following assay. In summary, the combination of doxorubicin and GpKar showed high viability on normal fibroblast cells.

Published: December 2023

Timely detection of patients with a high mortality risk in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can substantially improve triage, bed allocation, time reduction, and potential outcomes. A potential solution is using machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict mortality in COVID-19 hospitalized patients. The study's objective was to create and verify individual risk assessments for mortality using anonymous demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings at admission, as well as to assess the possibility of death using machine learning. We used a standardized format and electronic medical records. Data from 2,313 patients were collected from two Muhammadiyah hospitals from January 2020 to July 2022. Utilizing each patient's clinical manifestation state at admission and laboratory parameters, 24 demographic, clinical, and laboratory results were studied. The algorithms analyzed were AdaBoost, logistic regression, random forest, support vector machine, naïve Bayes, and decision tree, which were applied through WEKA version 3.8.6. Random forest performed better than the other machine learning techniques, with precision, sensitivity, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and accuracy of 78.6%, 78.7%, 85%, and 78.65%, respectively. The three top predictors were septic shock (OR=21.518, 95% CI=4.933–93.853), respiratory failure (OR=15.503, 95% CI=8.507–28.254), and D-dimer (OR=3.288, 95% CI=2.510–4.306). Machine learning–based predictive models, especially the random forest algorithm, may make it easier to identify patients at high risk of death and guide physicians' appropriate interventions.
A New Effective And Reliable Technique For Bleeding Control İn The Modified Stoppa Approach To Acetabulum Quadrilateral Region Fractures; Ligate The Obturator Artery
Authors: DOĞAN Necati
Published: December 2023

Aim: This study aims to share the methods of managing foci that cause bleeding in the modified Stoppa approach to acetabulum quadrilateral region fractures. In addition, it is to reveal the amount of perioperative bleeding and the clinical effect of ligated arteries in patients whose surgery was performed with advanced bleeding control technique.

Patients and methods: Between May 1, 2020, and June 30, 2023, perioperative bleeding data of 13 patients with acetabulum quadrilateral region fractures operated on with a modified Stoppa approach and advanced bleeding control technique were evaluated retrospectively. Age, gender, fracture mechanism, fracture side, fracture type, amount of perioperative bleeding, and follow-up periods were determined. The clinical effect of ligated arteries was observed in the postoperative period. In the CT scans taken in the postoperative period, the diameters of the gluteal muscles and adductor muscles were compared to the healthy side.

Results: Of the 13 patients included in the study, 5 were women, and 8 were men. While the average age was 35.6 years, the average follow-up period was 15.3 months. The average number of sponges used during the modified Stoppa approach and the amount of bleeding measured with an aspirator was 284.2 ml. The middle area of the gluteal muscles compared to the healthy side was 0.89, while the average area of the adductor muscles was 0.89. No problems related to the ligated vessels were observed in any patient during the postoperative period and outpatient follow-up.

Conclusions: Routine ligation of the obturator artery does not have any clinically observable adverse effects, and with advanced bleeding control, it facilitates both the hemodynamic management of the patient in terms of anesthesia and the management of the surgical field for the surgeon.

Published: December 2023

In this paper we have studied minimally interacting two fluid cosmological model in the framework of scale covariant theory by considering Bianchi type III metric in the presence of matter and radiation field. Here, we have assumed the exponential volumetric law to construct this model and considered the equation of state to find matter density, radiation density and parameters of matter and radiation density. Lastly, we have discussed some physical and kinematical parameters.

Published: December 2023

This study was designed to assess the dietary effects of maize stover biochar (MSB) on the growth response, ammonia emissions, and rectal temperature of finisher broilers. A total of 120 broilers were randomly distributed into four treatments (T1, T2, T3, and T4) using a completely randomized design. Each treatment consisted of 30 broilers and was replicated three times, with 10 broilers per replicate. The birds in T1 received no MSB, while T2, T3, and T4 received MSB at inclusion levels of 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%, respectively. Data collected on body weight gain, daily feed intake, rectal temperature, and fecal ammonia content were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) in a completely randomized design (CRD) using SPSS version 21. Significantly different means were separated using Duncan’s New multiple range test. Significant differences (p<0.05) in body weight gain, fecal ammonia content, and feed intake were observed among the treatments. The highest body weight gain of 2.94±0.01 kg was reported in T4, with the lowest value of 2.43±0.02 kg recorded in T1. Significant differences (p<0.05) were evident in average daily weight gain, total feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. T4 displayed the highest average weight gain (52.64±0.27g), significantly surpassing T3 (46.09±0.62g), while T2 and T1 exhibited the lowest values (44.30±0.68 and 43.41±0.51, respectively), which were comparable. Regarding feed conversion ratio (FCR), T1 had the highest value (3.25±0.00), significantly higher than T2 (2.72±0.00) and T3 (2.69±0.01), whereas T4 recorded the lowest value (2.35±0.03). In ammonia emission, T1 had the highest content (4.09 ± 0.19), while T2 and T3 had the values of 1.19 ± 0.03 and 1.32 ± 0.08, respectively. However, T4 had the lowest value of (0.90 ± 0.01) which was statistically (p < 0.05) different from other treatment groups. In rectal temperature, significant variations were observed over the weeks, with T1 consistently recording the highest values and T4 consistently displaying the lowest values. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that MSB positively impacted growth response, reduced ammonia emission, and mitigated rectal temperature in finisher broilers.
Navigating the path to economic empowerment: overcoming challenges in digital platforms for economic empowerment
Authors: Otuma O. Andako
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the challenges faced by economic empowerment digital platforms. As these online platforms revolutionize the economic landscape, they encounter various hurdles that hinder their potential for fostering financial inclusion and empowerment. Through an extensive analysis of existing literature and empirical studies, this survey identifies and categorizes the key challenges faced by these platforms. The survey reveals that regulatory frameworks pose significant obstacles to economic empowerment digital platforms. Issues such as unclear or outdated regulations, varying legal requirements across jurisdictions, and the need for compliance with consumer protection and data privacy laws hinder platform operations and expansion. Moreover, the absence of standardized regulations often leads to legal uncertainties and challenges in ensuring fair competition. Furthermore, the survey highlights the persistent challenge of trust and reputation management within economic empowerment digital platforms. As these platforms rely heavily on user-generated content and interactions, establishing trust among users becomes critical. Issues such as fraudulent activities, identity verification, and dispute resolution mechanisms emerge as key challenges that platforms must address to maintain user trust and credibility. The survey also addresses the technological challenges faced by economic empowerment digital platforms. Issues such as cybersecurity threats, data breaches, and privacy concerns pose significant risks to both platform operators and users. Platforms must invest in robust security measures and adopt innovative technologies to mitigate these challenges and safeguard user information and transactions. Additionally, the survey examines challenges related to financial inclusion and accessibility. Despite the potential for economic empowerment, certain groups, such as individuals from low-income communities or those lacking digital literacy, may face barriers in accessing and utilizing these platforms. Bridging the digital divide and ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals to participate and benefit from these platforms remains an ongoing challenge. Finally, the survey highlights the need for collaboration and cooperation among stakeholders. Platform operators, policymakers, regulatory bodies, and user communities must engage in constructive dialogue to address the challenges faced by economic empowerment digital platforms effectively. Collaborative efforts can lead to the development of regulatory frameworks, industry standards, and best practices that foster a conducive environment for these platforms to thrive.

Endülüs’te İhtisâr Türünde Bir Eser: İbn Kurkûl’un (569/1174) Metâli‘u’l-Envâr’ı
Authors: KARA Ali Rıza
Published: December 2023

Endülüs, yaklaşık sekiz asır boyunca İslam Medeniyetinin hüküm sürdüğü bir coğrafya olup burada hadis alanında birçok eser kaleme alınmıştır. Endülüs’ün hadis ilmiyle tanışması hicrî ikinci asırda Mâlik b. Enes’in Muvatta’ının buraya girmesiyle olmuştur. Buhârî ve Müslim’in Sahîh’lerinin bu coğrafyaya ulaşmasıyla hadis birikimi Endülüs’te daha da artmıştır. Temel hadis kaynaklarının Endülüs’e girmesinden sonra bu eserler üzerine öncelikle garîbü’l-hadîs çalışmaları başlamıştır. Burada hicrî üçüncü asırda başlayan garîbü’l-hadis çalışmaları diğer asırlarda da devam etmiştir. Hicrî altıncı asırda Endülüs’te İbn Kurkûl tarafından hocası Kâdî İyâz’ın Meşâriku’l-Envâr adlı kitabı esas alınarak yazılan Metâilü’l-Envâr, garîbü’l-hadîs alanında ve ihtisâr faaliyetleri kapsamında bir eser olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Mezkûr değerlendirme Kâtib Çelebi’ye ait olup eserin müellifi İbn Kurkûl’a ait değildir. Tespit edebildiğimiz kadarıyla ülkemizde bu vakte kadar bu iki eser üzerine mukayeseli bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu sebeple makalede öncelikle Endülüs’te garîbü’l-hadîs alanında önemli bir yeri olan Kâdî İyâz’ın Meşâriku’l-Envâr’ı hangi açılardan ihtisâr edilip eklemeler yapıldığının tespit ve tahlili hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada veri toplama ve analiz yöntemi takip edilmiştir. Araştırma neticesinde şu kanaatlere ulaşılmıştır: İbn Kurkûl, Meşâriku’l-Envâr’ı kısmen ihtisâr edip bazı eklemelerde bulunsa da büyük ölçüde onu tekrar etmekle yetinmiştir. İbn Kurkûl’un kendine ait gösterdiği bazı açıklamaların aslında Kâdî İyâz’a ait olması kanaatimizce en büyük problemlerdendir. Yine bu durumun ortaya çıkmasındaki en büyük etken, İbn Kurkûl’un Meşâriku’l-Envâr’ı istinsâh ederken gereken özeni göstermemesidir. Bu durum İbn Kurkûl’un Kâdî İyâz’ın eserine bir yenilik getiremediği sonucunu ortaya koymaktadır.
