A equidade no acesso aos serviços de saúde é um princípio fundamental do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), mas ainda enfrenta desafios significativos no Brasil, especialmente para populações vulneráveis. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as principais barreiras e estratégias para a promoção da equidade no acesso à saúde, por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura baseada em artigos científicos publicados entre 2020 e 2025. A busca foi realizada em bases de dados reconhecidas, como SciELO, PubMed, Lilacs e Web of Science, utilizando descritores controlados relacionados à equidade em saúde. Foram incluídos artigos originais e excluídos estudos não empíricos, teses e dissertações. Os resultados apontam que as desigualdades socioeconômicas, geográficas e culturais são determinantes no acesso aos serviços de saúde. A pandemia de COVID-19 agravou essas disparidades, evidenciando dificuldades no acesso à vacinação e ao atendimento adequado para populações indígenas, quilombolas e pessoas em situação de rua. Estratégias como programas de transferência de renda, ampliação da Estratégia Saúde da Família e fortalecimento da atenção primária têm demonstrado impacto positivo na redução das desigualdades, mas ainda demandam maior investimento e distribuição equitativa de recursos. Conclui-se que, apesar dos avanços, persistem desafios estruturais que limitam a equidade na saúde, exigindo políticas intersetoriais para garantir a universalidade do SUS. Sugere-se que pesquisas futuras explorem o impacto da telemedicina e das mudanças climáticas sobre a equidade no acesso à saúde, além de avaliar os efeitos de políticas públicas inovadoras na redução das desigualdades sociais.

Sayyid Qutb’s Thought On FaithrnThe relationship between faith and action is one of the important subjects of kalām science. This issue, which dates back to the Hijri second century of Islamic history, has emerged in the direction of whether the action is part of the faith. Even though it has emerged in such a historical period, this issue has been discussed from almost every period of Islamic history. A significant part of these discussions was two opposing views, “the action is part of faith, therefore there is no faith without the action” and “action and faith are two different, and there is faith without the action”. There is a consensus among Islamic scholars that those who believe and do righteous action are considered to be true believers. However, they disagree on whether they are considered true believers when they believe but do not do righteous action. Over time, both sides tried to prove their thoughts, and this issue became more systematic and by this way preserved its important in the kalām. Sayyid Qutb, one of the important Islamic scholars of the past century, has included detailed explanations relation to faith in his works. Qutb has presented his thoughts on this issue basing on his own unique comments but avoiding kalām discussion. The method he used in his view on faith is to bring evidence to the center of the limitation of reason by centering religious resources. The study explains the opinions of Sayyid Qutb, who is one of scholars of Egypt in the last period, on the faith and action. Depending on these views, what duties and responsibilities of Muslims are, have been explained in terms of re of relationship between faith and action. In the first chapter of the study, Qutb’s thought of religion has been included because it provides a basis for his views on faith. In the second chapter, Qutb’s approach to the concepts of faith and action has been discussed. In the third chapter, how the relationship between faith and action was established and the importance of action in his thought have been revealed. Since Qutb’s understanding of faith is at the center of his ideas, this study also reveals his thought system. Sayyid Qutb has attached great importance to action in his thoughts on faith. According to him, a faithful person must perform actional responsibility by means of praticing basic obligations like ṣalāt and zakāt, etc. and avoiding basic prohibitions like denial, interest, etc. However, his approach regarding the relationship between faith and action is not in the form of a piecewhole relationship like the view of the Khawārij. Qutb’s approach on this issue is close to the views of the predecessors (salaf scholars). Therefore, Qutb does not declare those who commit major sins as an unbeliever, unlike the Khawārij. By stating that the door to repentance is open to all sins except polytheism (shirk), he does not consider the faithful person who gives up action to be an disbeliever.rnKeywords: Sayyid Qutb; Faith; Action; Religious Consciousness; Responsibility

Ash‘arite Atomism: The Understanding of Substance in Early Ash‘arite KalāmrnAtomism is a conception of the world seen in different geographies and civilizations before the field of kalām. For this reason, the first part of the study is devoted to the discussions about the origin of the kalām atomism and the views of the most famous atomism models, the Greek and Indian atomist thoughts, especially about the atom. The first chapter, rather than reaching a definite judgment or claiming the origin of kalām atomism, focuses on how atomist theory is used to justify different ideas. Atomism was included in the field of kalām by Mu‘tazila. For this reason, it was Mu‘tazilite mutakallimūn who harmonized the theory with theological principles and developed it with the criticisms directed. For this reason, in the second part of the study, the concept of substance of Mu‘tazila is discussed. Mu‘tazilite mutakallimūn put forward an understanding of substance in harmony with their theological principles. They put forward different views on the definition of substance, its properties, its relationship with accidents, and the nature of constitution the body. Ash‘arite mutakallimūn, who put forward different views on many issues with Mu‘tazila, followed Mu‘tazila in defending the understanding of the universe based on the atomist theory. The theory of atomism in Ash‘arite theology of the mutakaddimūn period has been adopted since Abu’l-Hasan al-Ash‘ari, the sect’s founder. The third part and subject of the study is the concept of substance, which was developed, elaborated, and strengthened by Ash‘arite mutakallimūn. These Ash‘arite mutakallimūn are Imām Ash‘ari, Abū Bakr al-Bāqillānī, Ibn Fūrak, Abū Ishaq al- Isfarāyīnī, Abū Ja’far al-Simnānī, al-Baghdādī, Imām al-Haramayn al- Juwaynī and al-Mutawallī. In this section, which includes the Ash‘ari understanding of substance, this understanding is also compared with the Mu‘tazila and evaluated in terms of the sect.rnKeywords: Kalām; Ash‘arite; Atomism; Universe; Substance

Arap Dilinde Bedî‘ İlmi
Authors: Aktepe Murat
Published: February 2025

The Science of Bedî‘ in the Arabic LanguagernWords draw strength from the sentences they are part of, as the context in which the expression is used, the meaning and emphasis in the arrangement of the utterances, and the situational requirements reveal themselves in the most appropriate way. In all languages, the situations where words are to be spoken, as well as the emotions and thoughts to be expressed, are innumerable and diverse. A spoken word can convey a single intended meaning in multiple ways. The merging of meaning with the most suitable of these options is achieved through the science of eloquence. Therefore, it can be said that the eloquence aims to enhance both spoken and written language in terms of words and meaning. Eloquence is examined in three fundamental sections: ma’ani beyan and bedî‘. Literary devices, both verbal and conceptual, are addressed in the the science of bedî‘. This is where the artistic elements that add strength to expression come into play. For this reason, the art of bedî‘, central to the Arabic language, draws significant attention. The specific focus on the art of bedî‘ in this book stems from its incorporation of both verbal and conceptual embellishments, the scope and purpose of the artistic elements it encompasses and its function as a discipline that seeks ways to enhance speech in terms of meaning and harmony. It is aimed to bring a fresh perspective to teaching Arabic by utilizing these qualities and rich artistic examples of this science. On the basis of qualitative research methods, this study seeks to answer the question: How can topics generally related to the science of rhetoric, and specifically to the elements of the science of bedî‘, be effectively used in teaching Arabic? Recommendations were made with examples suitable for the four main language skills. In our study, classical methods were utilized, and new methodologies and suggestions were proposed to merge existing knowledge with the aim of advancing Arabic language education. The premise is that the art of bedî‘ can provide valuable insights into curriculum development. By linking the art of bedî‘ with contemporary Arabic and promoting a simplified and accessible approach to teaching rhetoric, it is concluded that this can contribute to Arabic language education. Based on these findings, the use of the richness of bedî‘ art through meta-analysis in language teaching, along with simplified rhetoric teaching, will contribute to the literature. By employing the unique examples of rhetoric found in the Qur’an and drawing from the works of classical period authors, educators can incorporate rhetorical elements into language teaching, as well as develop new tools and methodologies.rnKeywords: Eloquence, Belâgat Science, Arabic Rhetoric, Bedî‘ Art, Teaching Arabic.

The Function of Linguistic Exegesis in Qur’anic Interpretation (The Example of Iʿrāz/Turning Away)rnIn this study, the uses of the word ʾiʿrāḍ in the Qurʾān are discussed. ʾiʿrāḍ means turning away in terms of its word root. It is used as a human action in various contexts in the Qurʾān. On the other hand, there are verbs in the Qurʾān that are translated with the word ʾiʿrāḍ by the commentators although they are not structurally from the same root as ʾiʿrāḍ. These words are the verbs tawallā, sadda, sadefah, and safehe. However, these words should have different meanings. Therefore, in this study, in addition to the general meanings of the word ʾiʿrāḍ, the words that are assumed to be its murrādifiers are discussed. In the study, the common aspects of these words are mentioned and it is concluded that each of them actually has a special usage area. The word ʾiʿrāḍ was chosen for the study; The reasons for the selection of the word ʾiʿrāḍ for the study are as follows: the commentators sometimes attribute different meanings to the word ʾiʿrāḍ mentioned in the relevant verse, ignoring the root meaning of the word and giving approximate meanings according to the content of the verse, attributing the meaning of ʾiʿrāḍ to some words even though they are not similar to ʾiʿrāḍ in terms of root meaning, and the fact that this subject has not been examined in detail and has not been studied sufficiently in academic studies in Turkey. The study consists of an introduction and two main chapters. In the introduction, general information about the word ʾiʿrāḍ is given by following a semantic method. In the first chapter, the meanings of the word ʾiʿrāḍ in the Qur’ān are examined, and in the second chapter, the word ʾiʿrāḍ is analysed.rnKeywords: Tafsir; Linguistic Tafsir; Semantics;, ʾİʿrāḍ; Turn away

Theodicy and Deism Answers from the Qur’anrnIn the study, it is consistently and continuously emphasized that Allah is the Creator of the universe. It is highlighted that Allah is the sole Creator of the universe and that all existence should be attributed to Him. By understanding Allah’s intervention in the universe through different events, it is questioned whether Allah’s intervention in the universe is uniform and whether He interacts with the universe in different ways and for different purposes. It is noted that the verses related to why the universe is structured in this way are considered tools to reveal Allah’s purpose. The position of humans in the universe is attempted to be understood within the framework of their search for meaning. It is stated that the search for meaning in the universe finds itself in the search for meaning of humans and is related to the thesis that humans were not sent to the universe aimlessly and absurdly. The assumption that the universe is oriented towards a purpose is the reason behind the planning of the universe. Without understanding the planning and orderliness in the universe, it is impossible to comprehend that it is oriented towards a purpose. It is stated in the study that the universe is a product of planning and that the responsibility of this plan needs to be explained. This planning and the assumption of natural disasters and evil in the universe are subjected to a new interpretation within the framework of Quranic verses, and efforts are made to understand them. It is stated that the verses of the Quran, which can be considered as calamities, are gathered around a common denominator and tried to be interpreted. It is strongly expressed in the study that those who do not have a correct perception of the universe form the background of a correct perception of Allah; it is stated that a correct perception of Allah can be constructed with a correct perception of revelation and that a correct interpretation of revelation can only be tested with a correct perception of the universe.rnKeywords: Allah’s Intervention in the Universe; Perception of Allah; Purpose of the Universe; Teodise; Deism

The Life, Works and Theology of Karl Rahner rnKarl Rahner is one of the theologians who left marks on the XX. Century. He designated the main character of the II. Vatican Council with his attitude about the salvation of unbelievers and the believers of other religions. He is seen as the originator of inclusivism. Rahner called the believers of other religions as “anonymous Christians” and stated that they can attain the sal-vation in Christ’s grace. Rahner, who is at the same time one of the defenders of the group New Theology (Nouvelle Théologie), criticized the Catholic Church and expressed that the church is degenerating. So accordingly to overcome this degeneration church must turn back to the works of patristic era. In our thesis, we centered the attitudes of Rahner about church, revelation and salvation and the resources of these attitudes. Also it is examined the attitudes of Clement, Tertullian, Origen and Augustine about church, revelation and salvation. Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar, Edward Schillebeeckx and Hans Küng, who are the contemporaries of Rahner, are examined with their ideas about church, revelation and salvation. rnKeyword: Karl Rahner; II.

Tanrı-Âlem İlişkisi -Monizm ve Monoteizm-
Authors: Arslan Özkan Emine
Published: February 2025

The God-World Relationship -Monism and Monotheism-rnIn this study, the approaches of monism and monotheism to the God and the world relationship and the concepts of God revealed by this approach are examined comparatively. This study consists of an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion. In the introduction, the problem related to the causality relationship between God and the world is revealed in the context of monism and monotheism through the discussions of whether there is a reason for the existence of the world. The first chapter focuses primarily on what monism means conceptually within philosophical debates and how it is presented as an ontological thesis with reference to some historical examples. Later, the concepts of God put forward on the basis of monism are explained with reference to the views of three philosophers who have historically embraced monism: Plotinus, Spinoza and Hegel. In this context, first of all, the monistic arguments of the above-mentioned philosophers and the God-world identity views based on this approach are included, and it is concluded that an immanent causal understanding established between God and the world, which is common in these approaches, is insufficient to explain the God-world relationship. In the second chapter, in the context of the God-world relationship of monotheism as opposed to monism, first of all, the conceptual and doctrinal meaning of monotheism is emphasized. For this purpose, firstly, the idea of transcendence, being the main determinant of the God-world relationship in monotheism, is put forward and solutions are sought for the philosophical problems stemming from this idea. Secondly, in monotheism, the immanent dimension of the God-world relationship is defined with reference to the omnipresence and the creativity of God, in a way that does not contradict the idea of transcendence. At this point, the focus is especially on the creation doctrine of monotheism; the immanent dimension of God’s relationship with the world is analyzed in depth through the relationship of creation and will as well as the relationship of creation and conservation, and thus, solutions are sought for the arising problems. As a result, in the context of monotheism, the importance of defining the immanent dimension of the God-world relationship in a consistent manner that would not contradict the transcendence is underlined.rnKeywords: Monism; Monotheism; Pantheism; Panentheism; Transcendence; Immanence; Creation.

Magic Squares in ReligionsrnThroughout the history, magic has been used in all religions and religious movements. In this thesis, magic squares which are among the main elements of the ritual practices of magic are examined. In addition to this, a survey about how and why religious traditions use the magic squares is held. In spite of being constituted with the numbers in the beginning, magic squares, which are thought to come into being with a legend existing in the tradition of ancient Chinese people approximately 4200 years ago and considered to be one of the most prominent elements of ancient Chinese cosmology, started to be constituted with the letters within the development of the numerology and giving numerical values to the letters. People of ancient times blended the magic squares with the philosophical and mystic systems, occult knowledges and magical practices. They attributed various philosophical and mystic meanings within the religious and cultic traditions they have and allocated a wide range of use in magical practices. Magic squares are being carried and used as talismans, amulets, rings and seals against the evil, diseases, beast of preys and harmful animals, jinns, malicious spirits, demons, enemies etc. in world religions and traditions.rnKeywords: Magic, Wafq, Magic Square, Numerology, Gematria, Abjad, Astrology, Chinese cosmology.
Din-Siyaset İlişkisi-3 Abbasiler Dönemi

Religion-Politics Relation-3 in The Abbasids -From the Life of Religion to the Religion of Life-rnThe Abbasids, who overthrew the Umayyad State in a bloody coup in 750, established the Abbasid State under their dynasty’s name. The first two caliphs of this new state, Abu al-Abbas al-Saffah (750- 754) and Abu Ja’far al-Mansur (754-775), were the founding caliphs. Both caliphs orchestrated assassinations to eliminate those who had helped them seize power. To legitimize their rule, they declared themselves as the shadow of God on earth, asserting that they were appointed by God and the true heirs of the Prophet Muhammad. After constructing Baghdad, Mansur moved the capital there and harshly suppressed all rebellious groups, especially the Shiites. Muhammad al-Mahdi (775-785) became the caliph of the newly stabilized state without issues. His era was a time of reconciliation for the masses who had become estranged from the state. The peak period of the Abbasids began with Caliph Harun al-Rashid (786-809), during which the state reached its zenith in political, economic, internal stability, and religious sensitivities. After Harun al-Rashid, during the reigns of Al-Ma’mun (813-833), Al-Mu’tasim (833-842), and Al-Wathiq (842-847), the Mu’tazila sect was declared as the official sect of the state. Those who opposed this were punished, and scholars against the official sect were accused of rebelling against the state, facing severe persecution and torture. This period, known as the Mihna, ended during Caliph Al-Mutawakkil’s reign (847-861). Afterward, the Abbasid State entered a period of decline and collapse. The days of significant contributions to Islamic civilization were over. The Baghdad caliphate became a puppet controlled by other nations dominating the state. It struggled with civil wars and separatist forces for many years until it was ultimately destroyed by the Mongols in 1258.rnKeywords: State, Religion, Politics, The caliph, Mihna, Abbasids, Revolition
Time Travel: E. A. Poe, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Phall, A Christmas Carol, and The Diaries of Adam and Eve

For centuries, time travelling was defined only as a mind adventure and a way to create stories and tales. Philosophers reflected on the theme of time and its irregularities. In Physics, Sir Isaac Newton developed his theory about time stating that it is measurable, constant, and straight.

For the natural days are truly unequal, though they are commonly considered as equal, and used for a measure of time; astronomers correct this inequality for their more accurate deducing of the celestial motions […] time may be accurately measured. (Newton, 1846: 78)
Caragiale's Critical Engagement with German and French Music: A Study of Musical Culture and Artistic Tension
Authors: Țăranu Nicoleta Diana
Published: February 2025

In this text, the focus is on the profound and sometimes contradictory relationship that Ion Luca Caragiale, a prominent Romanian playwright, had with German musical culture. Caragiale, known for his sharp wit and critical perspectives, expressed both admiration and disapproval of various German composers, reflecting his complex relationship with their music. The translation explores his views on composers like Richard Wagner, Johannes Brahms, and Jacques Offenbach, delving into his critiques of Wagner’s revolutionary approach, his deep appreciation for Brahms as a worthy successor to Beethoven, and his mixed feelings toward Offenbach's operatic works. Caragiale’s reflections on German music reveal not only his personal tastes but also provide insight into the cultural and artistic climate of his time, characterized by a tension between tradition and innovation, as well as between morality and artistic freedom.
Violencia sexual y desigualdad digital: análisis de las implicaciones de la violencia sexual digital en las experiencias y disposiciones hacia el uso de la tecnología de la juventud
Authors: Calderón Gómez Daniel
Published: February 2025

En este artículo se analiza la relación existente entre las formas de violencia sexual digital vividas
por las personas jóvenes y la desigualdad digital, profundizando en la autopercepción sobre las
competencias digitales, la confianza hacia el uso de las tecnologías y la participación digital. Se
ha utilizado una metodología cuantitativa a partir de una encuesta online a 1.212 personas entre
16 y 29 años residentes en España. Como resultados principales, se muestra la influencia de
haber sufrido situaciones de violencia sexual digital en tener peores experiencias, disposiciones
y percepciones hacia las tecnologías digitales. Estas experiencias y disposiciones también son
más negativas entre las mujeres, las personas de mayor edad y quienes presentan un uso más
intensivo de los dispositivos tecnológicos.

Are Karda (Varanus Rosenbergii) More Abundant Around Traditional Noongar Lizard Traps?
Authors: GUISLAIN LARISSE , KNAPP LYNETTE , LULLFITZ ALISON , SPELDEWINDE PETER
Published: February 2025

Construction of lizard traps on granite outcrops is a traditional hunting method used by the Menang Noongar people of southern coastal southwest Australia for Varanus rosenbergii (also called Karda by the Noongar, or Rosenberg’s Monitor by Europeans); an important protein source in pre-colonial diets. This method may have been employed to increase the abundance of this species or to aid access to this resource. To explore this question we combined Noongar traditional knowledge and western scientific techniques to investigate the abundance of lizard traps in relation to intensity of pre-colonial Noongar use and Karda abundance.. We found lizard traps were evenly distributed on granite outcrops across our study area regardless of likely past intensity of use by Noongar people. Using camera trap data and occupancy modelling we also found that Karda abundance was uniform across our study area and did not appear to be influenced by the presence of traps, indicating that their construction may have been to facilitate hunting rather than to increase their number.
Effect of an Isolated Bore on Birds in the Complex Arid Landscape of Faure Island, Shark Bay, Western Australia
Authors: FULTON GRAHAM R.
Published: February 2025

Artificial water points in Australian rangelands have had various adverse effects on native biota. In this study, the terrestrial avifauna of an isolated bore on Faure Island, Shark Bay, Western Australia, was evaluated for drinking and geographical abundance patterns. The bore is in a unique environment close to three major biological boundaries: biogeographical, vegetational, and climatic. The island is also of interest because marsupial species extinct on the mainland (e.g. boodie Bettongia lesueur) have been re-introduced there. During a four-day survey, 1626 individuals from 20 bird species were observed. Of the species, 80% showed a gradient in relative concentration across the whole island, in the 100 ha around the bore and within the bore’s piosphere. Patterns of drinking and attendance at the bore are also reported. Some birds (e.g. Crested Pigeon Ocyphaps lophotes and Little Crow Corvus bennetti) increased their relative concentration near the watering point while others (e.g. Silvereye Zosterops lateralis and Australasian Pipit Anthus novaeseelandiae) decreased. The null hypothesis that the bore had no impact on the distribution of birds was rejected.
A.R. Wallace in the Light of Historical Method
Authors: VAN WYHE JOHN
Published: February 2025

Over the past fifty years the now well-known story of the great Victorian naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace has transformed to one very different from that familiar during his lifetime and for decades after his death in 1913. The new Wallace story is attractive and inspiring in many ways. It sells well and infuses many with a sense of purpose, but that it has changed so much remains unknown. This transformation is due largely to most writers on Wallace since the 1960s not having been trained as historians. Whereas some modern writers on him are seen as conspiracy theorists, most have simply followed what has been written or broadcast about him in recent decades. Unwittingly, however, this has culminated in a story of Wallace incompatible with historical method and contextual analysis.
