O surgimento do sistema inglês de copyright
Authors: Zanini Leonardo Estevam de Assis
Published: November 2023

O presente texto analisa o surgimento do sistema inglês de proteção autoral, que remonta ao Estatuto da Rainha Ana (Statute of Anne), considerado a primeira lei de copyright. Para tanto, utiliza-se de metodologia descritiva e dedutiva, baseada fundamentalmente em uma revisão bibliográfica e na investigação da legislação e da jurisprudência. O trabalho parte da invenção da imprensa, passando pelo período da concessão de privilégios, até a promulgação do Estatuto da Rainha Ana. Também examina a criação da company of stationers of London, a edição do Licensing Act de 1662 e a disputa entre livreiros da Escócia e da Inglaterra. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o Estatuto da Rainha Ana não tinha como objetivo precípuo a proteção dos autores, mas tal tutela acabou sendo admitida como reflexo de decisões judiciais.
O defensor da paz de Marsílio de Pádua: aspectos jurídico-políticos
Authors: Schmidt Felipe
Published: November 2023

O estudo, elaborado pelo método indutivo, versa aspectos jurídico-políticos da obra O Defensor da Paz, de Marsílio de Pádua, destacando a atuação das funções do poder político para conferir eficácia ao Direito. Apresenta panorama geral da obra O Defensor da Paz e do momento histórico em que foi produzida; expõe as diversas acepções de lei e Direito no pensamento de Marsílio de Pádua; aprecia as concepções de legislador, julgador e governante adotadas pelo paduano; discorre sobre a atuação concertada e coativa das funções do poder político para conferir eficácia ao Direito. Conclui que o pensamento do paduano propõe um poder político e um direito com origem e fins exclusivamente humanos, negando-lhes qualquer fundamento natural ou divino, procurando redefinir, de modo a limitar, o papel do poder espiritual, o que contribuiu para o nascimento do humanismo antropocêntrico, concepções que se afiguraram inovadoras para sua época e influenciaram a reflexão jurídico-política posterior.

Published: November 2023

O letramento digital em saúde representa a capacidade do indivíduo em analisar, compreender e aplicar os conceitos para a saúde e a comunidade. Esse estudo objetiva identificar o nível desse letramento com a ocorrência da COVID-19. Trata-se de um estudo transversal que utilizou a versão validada do instrumento eHEALS, questões sociodemográficas e questões relacionadas ao enfrentamento dessa pandemia. Utilizou-se redes sociais digitais: WhatsApp, Facebook e e-mail para convidar usuários a participarem do estudo para posteriormente classificá-los em dois grupos: 1) COVID e 2) Não-COVID, analisando-os particularmente e relacionando ao nível de letramento. Observou-se que o letramento digital em saúde e a prevenção do contágio não tiveram pontos expressivos no nível de literacia em saúde, algo justificado pelo aumento da transmissão de notícias falsas, o uso incorreto das medidas preventivas a falta de apoio governamental em um estado de emergência, além da insegurança da população frente a uma vacina emergencial. Por fim, nota-se que dos participantes da pesquisa a maioria considera importante ter acesso sobre saúde na internet, porém uma minoria sente-se confiante para usar essas informações para tomada de decisões. Sendo assim, o letramento digital pode auxiliar na promoção da saúde e melhora na qualidade de vida da população.

Descrever dificuldades e barreiras para adesão a telefisioterapia durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Relato de experiência, realizado com responsáveis e indivíduos com fibrose cística (FC) via internet, celular ou computador, para receberem atendimento de telefisioterapia assíncrona, em formato de cartilhas e vídeos. Todos deveriam responder avaliação inicial, questionário de qualidade de vida e, ao final, feedback sobre a assistência remota e a frequência na realização dos exercícios. Nove indivíduos participaram do estudo e poucos concluíram todas as etapas. Cinco participantes fornecerem feedback quanto à assistência oferecida e a maioria das respostas apontou dificuldades para realizar fisioterapia a domicílio. Responsáveis e indivíduos com FC ficaram sobrecarregados com as demandas online, visto que as atividades rotineiras estavam sendo realizadas “via tela” no referido período, o que impactou negativamente na adesão a telefisioterapia. Esse achado atenta para profissionais da saúde refletirem sobre aspectos da adesão ao oferecerem essa modalidade.

Authors: Alpidovskaya Olga V.
Published: November 2023

The respiratory system is the main target of COVID-19 infection spread by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study presents a case of viral–bacterial pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 and Fusobacteria complicated by the development of gangrene in the lower lobe of the right lung with abscess formation. Accompanied by an ambulance team for emergency reasons, the patient was admitted for inpatient treatment with complaints of pain when coughing, dyspnea, cough with mucopurulent sputum, and fever up to 39.6°С. Chest computed tomography revealed signs of viral–bacterial pneumonia. Infiltration was determined in the lower lobe of the right lung, against which a cavity with melting lung tissue was observed. A virological test of throat and nasal swabs detected SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus RNA. Despite treatment, the patient died. Autopsy revealed signs of viral–bacterial pneumonia, a decaying cavity with purulent content, and diffuse destructive changes with hemorrhages. The cause of death of the patient was COVID-19, which caused bilateral viral–bacterial pneumonia complicated by the development of gangrene in the lower lobe of the right lung with abscess formation.

This study was carried out to reveal the origins and formations of the minerals by determining the mineralogical compositions of Early Miocene aged sedimentary rocks outcropping in the northeast of Korkut district, 20 km from Muş. 75 rock samples were taken by measuring two stratigraphic sections from Mollababa Formation (Aquitanian) and Aktaş Formation (Burdigalian) cropping out in the study area. XRD (X-ray diffraction) WR (whole-rock) analyzes were performed on these rock samples, and calcite, quartz, feldspar, clinoptilolite and clay minerals were determined in their compositions. CF (clay fraction) mineralogical compositions were determined by performing XRD detailed clay analyzes on 20 selected rock samples. In clay fractions; chlorite, illite, serpentine, mixed- layered chlorite-vermiculite (C-V) and non-clay minerals such as calcite, quartz and feldspar were determined. SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscope - energy dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) studies were carried out on five selected samples, and in addition to clay minerals such as feldspar, calcite, chlorite and C-V, fossils were also observed. When all the data were evaluated, it was interpreted that the chemical and biogenic origin of the calcite mineral, the detrital origin of the quartz, feldspar, chlorite and serpentine minerals, the neoformation product of clinoptilolite, C-V mineral formed from dark-colored minerals with negative transformation.
THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF MEERSCHAUM-TYPE SEPIOLITE IN THE PROMOTION OF TÜRKİYE
Authors: GÜNGÖR Nusret , DEMİR Behzat Gökçen , ÖZDOĞAN Ali Koray
Published: November 2023

The main factors in the recognition and promotion of countries, cities and regions can be summarised as economic strength, sports achievements, cultural accumulations, underground resources, and scientific and technological developments. Within the scope of underground resources, meerschaum-type sepiolite continues to be used in the production of ornaments, jewellery and souvenirs, and the display of items made of this type of sepiolite in showcases and museums in areas where other types of sepiolite cannot be used continues to ensure the recognition of the countries and cities where it is produced and processed. The meerschaum-type sepiolite is a magnesium-based clay mineral that has played an important role in the recognition and promotion of our country in the world for centuries. The role and importance it plays in the recognition and promotion of Türkiye is considered to be the work of its attributive properties based on its formation mechanism. Many of these unique features have enabled it to find more and more usage areas, turn into a work of art, and be recognised. This first recognised type of Turk sepiolite is described as an ambassador of culture and peace, as it has served as a bridge between our country and some countries for centuries. The quality of the Turk meerschaum-type sepiolite based on its superior properties, the fact that it has maintained this quality throughout the reserve for a long time, and the very important works created by valuable craftsmen and artisans are another point that plays an important role in the recognition of our country. In addition to training meerschaum masters and artisans when processed, it also creates significant added value. The export of raw meerschaum was banned in 1972 due to its importance in recognising and promoting our country by creating significant added value as well as training meerschaum masters and artisans. Meerschaum-type sepiolite has given birth to both an important business line and a branch of art in Eskişehir. Meerschaum processing workshops, which are intensively visited by local and foreign tourists coming to Eskişehir, and the Meerschaum Museum in Odunpazarı district will accelerate the better explanation and promotion of this important clay and the abandonment of the name “Vienna Stone”.
Desain dan Simulasi Dental Implant Resistens Menggunakan Finite Elemen Analysis
Authors: Firdhaus Firman , Handoko Handoko
Published: November 2023

Tooth decay is a developmental disorder and trauma that causes tooth extraction. The solution is to make dental implants and dentures to restore normal contours, function, comfort, aesthetics, speech, and health. However, the problem of complications that arise is also a concern to be resolved; this occurs due to damage to the dental implant component itself. Based on these problems, it is necessary to conduct research to produce dental implants with good strength and service life by considering the value of stress and force distribution. This study discusses the differences in implant designs with different thread geometries: square, buttress, standard V-thread, and reverse buttress. This study used a static test in FEA (finite element analysis) SOLIDWORKS software using the ISO 14801 standard, using a loading of 100 N, the direction of vertical loading is 00, and using TiZr (Titanium Zirconium) material in the implant. The simulation results are validated by comparing the von Mises current study value with the existing research literature with a limit of ±5%. After the validation results are appropriate, the results are analyzed. The results of this study indicate that the buttress-type dental implant design is the most suitable dental implant to be applied. This is supported by the high value of the buttress type von Mises, which is 14.4 MPa. As for the square type, standard V-thread and reverse buttress type have a von Mises value of 13.8 MPa, 12.5 MPa, and 13.8 MPa. In addition, the profile of the buttress type is also very consistent, according to some literature, because it increases the transfer of stress to the surrounding bone according to the symmetrical profile.

Published: November 2023

The nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011 in Japan caused a tsunami and submerged the emergency diesel generator resulting in a station blackout (SBO). Based on the accident, a study was conducted on the use of passive safety systems as a support for active safety systems in nuclear reactor cooling systems. The Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) prototype is a small-scale LHP research facility, one of which is used to determine the characteristics and heat transfer events in LHP. Calculations to determine the thermal resistance of the LHP prototype need to be carried out to determine its performance level. The research was carried out experimentally for data collection followed by calculations based on the data that had been obtained. The calculation results obtained that the lowest thermal resistance is 0.014 °C/w with a 100% filling ratio and an airflow velocity of 2.5 m/s, so the setting of filling ratio and airflow velocity produces the best LHP prototype performance. The higher the airspeed, the greater the heat released by the condenser resulting in the value of the thermal resistance of the LHP prototype getting smaller. Thus, the greater the airspeed, the lower the thermal resistance of the LHP prototype, this indicates that the performance of the LHP prototype is increasing.

Published: November 2023

Rainfall-runoff transformation is a solution to the difficulty of obtaining observed discharge data in flood prediction analysis. Rainfall-runoff transformation requires observed rainfall data with a high rate of accuracy spatially. However, observed rainfall data is also often not available. Satellite rainfall data is commonly used to replace observed rainfall data. However, the accuracy of satellite rainfall data still needs to be tested. This study applied rainfall-runoff transformation to the observed rainfall data and the PERSIANN, GPM, and GSMaP satellite rainfall data in the Opak Watershed using GAMA I SUH method, which were then compared with the observed hydrograph at the AWLR Kretek during the flood event that occurred in Yogyakarta Province due to Cyclone Cempaka to evaluate their accuracy. The results showed that the GPM data generated a hydrograph that is the closest to the observed hydrograph, both the shape and the peak of the hydrograph.
Comparative effectiveness of intranasal dexmedetomidine dosing as premedication in paediatric surgery: Randomized controlled trial
Authors: Agrawal Pooja , Bhuwania Puneet
Published: November 2023

: The use of alpha 2 agonists are now becoming the standard of care pre-medication drug in paediatric patients to induce induction and reduce separation anxiety. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was designed to assess and compare the effectiveness and safety of two different strengths of intranasal dexmedetomidine in children between the ages of 2 and 8.

: Sixty children between ages 2-8 years and of ASA physical status I or II scheduled for elective surgery were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A received 1 µg/kg of intranasal dexmedetomidine while Group B received 2 µg/kg as pre-medication. Patients sedation status, behaviour (mask acceptance) and parental separation scores were assessed over 30 min as primary endpoints along with its effect on haemodynamic and respiratory parameters over the same duration as secondary endpoints.

: 7.4% of children in group A while 96.5% of children in group B achieved a satisfactory sedation score, 11.1% of children in group A while 100% of children in group B achieved a satisfactory mask acceptance score and 7.4% of children in group A while 100% of children in group B achieved a satisfactory parent child separation score (p<0.001). We did not observe any clinically significant effects of dexmedetomidine on RR, SpO2, HR or MAP and no child required atropine or supplemental oxygen.

: We conclude that 2µg/kg dose as compared to 1µg/kg offers multiple advantages of being good sedative, analgesic and anxiolytic in this age group when used as pre-medication.
A comparative study of the efficacy of intravenous magnesium sulphate and intravenous dexmedetomidine in attenuating haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation
Authors: Mohan Anju , Saha Gautam
Published: November 2023

Both laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation elicit a sympathetic and parasympathetic response, which varies depending on the depth of anaesthesia, duration of laryngoscopy, and patient characteristics. Although different methods have been used to suppress the response, an ideal agent has yet to be discovered. This study compares and contrasts the effectiveness of intravenous dexmedetomidine and intravenous magnesium sulphate in reducing hemodynamic response during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

: This 18-month prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled comparative research was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care, Bokaro General Hospital, Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand. One hundred twenty consenting study participants were randomly divided into three groups of forty. Before induction, Group A received IV normal saline as a placebo. Group B received 1 mcg/kg IV dexmedetomidine before induction, while Group C received 30 mg/kg IV 50% magnesium sulphate before induction.

: Gender distribution was consistent and equal among 120 patients. Gender, age, weight, ASA, and type of surgery did not differ significantly across groups. The three groups had no statistically significant difference in baseline hemodynamic parameters. When compared to the Control Group (A), there were statistically significant changes in hemodynamic parameters in the Dexmedetomidine (B) and Magnesium sulphate (C) groups. There was no hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, or arrhythmias.

: Dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate efficiently reduced the hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation, although dexmedetomidine attenuated the sympathetic response more effectively.
Intravenous low-dose ketamine in addition to systemic analgesia versus systemic analgesia alone for post-operative pain management in laparotomies:Adouble-blind randomised controlled study
Authors: Sardeshpande Sakhi Sachin , Deshmukh Shubhada
Published: November 2023

The use of Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, in sub-anesthetic doses for analgesia is increasingly being administered in inpatient settings with acute pain service guidance and in outpatient settings under a variety of models. At sub-anesthetic doses, ketamine possesses centrally mediated analgesic properties with minimal effects on consciousness and cognition.In this study we have compared the efficacy of IV low-dose Ketamine as an adjunct to conventional systemic analgesia to examine preventive effect on post-operative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing laparotomies.

The study was carried out on 50 patients, 25 patients received a pre-incisional IV bolus of 0.15 mg/kg of Ketamine,10 mins before the incision followed by IV infusion of 2mcg/kg/min continued for 24 hours postoperatively in addition to systemic analgesia (Group K)and 25 Patients received IV bolus of Normal Saline 10 min before the incision, followed by an IV infusion of normal saline (Group C) till 24 hours post-op and systemic analgesia alone. Saline bolus and infusion were given at equivalent volume/rate of the study group. The analgesic efficacy was judged by NRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), Time to first rescue analgesia (TFA) and Total opioid consumption (Tramadol in mg) in 24 hours. Ketamine related side effects were also recorded.

Patients in the Ketamine group had significantly lower Mean total opioid consumption (88.04 ± 29.07 mg vs. 210 ± 23.93 mg)and Numerical pain Rating Scale (NRS) (3.13 +0.34 vs. 4.44+ 0.77). Time to first rescue analgesia was significantly delayed in Ketamine group as compared to Control group (20.65 ± 9.2 mins vs. 5.4 ± 5.38 mins). Ramsay Sedation scores (RSS) were significantly higher in the Ketamine group (2.4 +0.76vs. 1.52 +0.51)in the immediate post-operative period. There were no demonstrable side-effects related to Ketamine in Group K.

Pre-emptive IV low-dose Ketamine is an effective adjunct to systemic analgesia in abdominal surgeries as it significantly prolongs the time to first rescue analgesia (TFA), reduces mean total analgesic requirement and lowers pain scores (NRS) in the post-operative period with negligible side effects.

Published: November 2023

A long-standing thyroid mass can have varied presentation depending on the metabolic, compressive or invasive symptoms. The most apparent symptom of thyroid mass is goitre, which if ignored can prove to be catastrophic as in our case. It is uncommon for thyroid mass to present as airway bleeding. However, a patient with long standing goitre presented with frank hemoptysis to our hospital. Radiological study revealed a thyroid mass, infiltrating the tracheal wall and extending into the tracheal lumen. A bleeding intratracheal mass presents a multifactorial challenge to an anaesthetist. Authors present anaesthetic management of a case of infiltrating thyroid malignancy presenting as a bleeding intratracheal mass. The haemostasis and airway patency were restored until definitive surgery was planned. The need for tracheostomy could be avoided in this case. A meticulously planned airway management along with multi-disciplinary approach are important for management of bleeding intratracheal mass.
Pneumothorax during laparoscopic plication of diaphragmatic eventration: A case report
Authors: Kallat Shrishanth Murali , Aggarwal Manish , John M K
Published: November 2023

Diaphragmatic eventration is the abnormal elevation of the hemidiaphragm or part of it caused due to the lack of muscle or nerve function with normal anatomical attachments. Pneumothorax is a common occurrence during thoracoscopic approaches of diaphragmatic plication but a very rare complication in laparoscopic approaches.

A 56-year-old male presented with complaints of pain in the left upper abdomen, bloating, and difficulty in breathing. He was diagnosed with idiopathic diaphragmatic eventration and was taken up for laparoscopic plication under American society of anaesthesiologists – physical status 1. Intra-op, he developed sudden onset increase in peak pressures with poor tidal volumes and desaturation. Examination revealed reduced breath sounds and movement of left side of chest, possibly a left sided pneumothorax. The placement of a left-sided intercostal chest drain led to improvements in ventilatory parameters.

The patient was successfully extubated following the completion of surgery.

: Pneumothorax is an established complication of laparoscopic surgery, with a reported incidence of 0.01%-0.4%. But early detection and diagnosis of a pneumothorax intraoperatively is difficult and often missed because of controlled ventilation and pneumoperitoneum. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for early diagnosis and management of such conditions.

Intraoperative tension pneumothorax and its progression can have devastating consequences. A high index of suspicion, prompt recognition of the condition despite many factors that may mask the condition and prompt remediation leads to an effective management of such cases.

Published: November 2023

While there has been growing interest in fostering entrepreneurial skills among students, research is scant on the factors influencing these competencies in Thai higher education settings. To address this gap, this study focused on 198 community development majors at Rajabhat University in southern Thailand. It examined the impact of individual characteristics and engagement in extracurricular activities on their entrepreneurial competencies. The study posed two hypotheses: 1) Individual characteristics, such as age, gender, and family income, influence the entrepreneurial skills of these students; 2) There is a positive correlation between students' engagement in learning-enhancing activities and their entrepreneurial skills. Data were collected through a survey, distributed via stratified sampling, and analysed using a range of statistical methods including t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Chi-square tests, with a significance level set at p < 0.05.The findings revealed high levels of student engagement in extracurricular activities such as club membership and event attendance. Performance metrics indicated strong entrepreneurial competencies among the students. Factors like age, gender, academic performance, family income, educational environment, and chosen field of study were found to significantly influence these competencies. Importantly, a strong correlation was observed between students' engagement in extracurricular activities and competencies like innovation, risk-taking, proactivity, competitiveness, and work independence. This study offers valuable insights into the roles of individual characteristics and extracurricular engagement in shaping entrepreneurial competencies among Thai university students.

The study employed a combined approach, encompassing a descriptive analysis and a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 57 students enrolled in the seventh grade of a laboratory high school participated in the study. The outcomes of the investigation indicated a substantial positive impact of traditional Filipino games on students' motivation, interest, and academic achievements in the context of science. The t-test reveals a significant difference in motivation (t=-3.818, p < 0.01), interest (t=-4.913, p < 0.01), and achievement (t=-8.781, p < 0.01) in science before and after the intervention. These findings imply that traditional Filipino games can be effectively leveraged as a pedagogical strategy to enhance students' motivation, interest, and academic performance in the domain of science.

Published: November 2023

The research results published so far have shown that success in mathematics positively affects the retention rate at technical and economic universities. Various studies have explored different forms, methods, and tools in mathematics teaching to improve student success, but an effective teaching model is yet to be identified. Based on previous experience and published results, a model of effective teaching was proposed with an emphasis on developing selected cross-sectional competencies to increase student retention. A recent study aimed to verify the effectiveness of this model in the pilot subject Mathematics I. The study included 211 first-year students of 7 bachelor's technical-economic study programs. Results showed significant improvement in the group of students who struggled with mathematics. The study confirmed that an appropriately chosen intervention in mathematics can increase the success rate of completing technical and economic study programs, and this approach can also be applied at other universities.
What is Behind the Shine? The Dark Side of Research Evaluation: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: Lambovska Maya
Published: November 2023

Research evaluation (RE) is presently a widely discussed and prominent subject within the academic community. This article provides a conceptual framework that categorizes the dark side of RE and provides strategies to diminish it. At its core, this framework includes a generic model summarizing RE dark effects and anti-dark effects remedies and elucidating their relations. Four research questions were raised regarding the research interest in the dark side of RE, the nature of the dark effects of RE and remedies for them, their literature prominence, and whether it is possible to create a well-founded model for mitigating the dark side of RE. Theoretically, this framework is based on concepts of the philosophy of science. Methodologically, a structured literature review, methods of expert judgment, analysis and synthesis, and a sampler of 35 articles underpin it. Stakeholder and logical approaches were applied for classification. The suggested framework is the first in-depth attempt to elucidate the dark side of RE and how to mitigate it. In practical terms, the framework can be incorporated into university/government RE systems to “enlighten”/control their dark side, thereby improving the academic governance toolkit. It can also be used to develop subject-area/country-specific models for the dark side of RE.
Application-Based Benchmarking on Redis and MongoDB for Trip Planning using GTFS Data
Authors: Alzaidi Mustafa , Vagner Aniko
Published: November 2023

Benchmarking serves as the foundation for selecting a database in any project. The available benchmarking tools evaluate system performance by subjecting it to random data and a set of arbitrary operations, without considering the specific characteristics of the application. The problem with these tools is that they reflect unrealistic benchmarks as they do not consider the nature, sequence, and type of queries the application will send to the database. In this paper, we introduced the approach of benchmarking the database based on the nature of interaction and queries between the application and database, and we built a benchmarking tool using Java to benchmark Redis and MongoDB as databases for a trip planning application with GTFS data of Budapest local transport data. Our study involved comparing the performance of both databases under ten different stress levels by simulating the number of querying clients. The results show that both database's performance is slightly decreased while increasing the number of clients (stress). However, Redis shows better performance compared to MongoDB.

Ecosystem contamination with heavy metals lead to the bioaccumulation of these elements in crops. Rice, a significant component of the human diet, can bioaccumulate heavy metals and is of public health concerns. Therefore, the current research aimed to investigate the bioaccumulation of the heavy metal zinc in several rice varieties from three rivers in Pakistan's Malakand Division. The Highest Zn concentration of 91.58± 6.25 mg kg−1 dry weight was observed in rice roots of China Basmati variety grown across River Swat, while the highest Zn concentration of 60.06 ± 4.41 mg kg−1 dry weight was observed in the stem of Mota Chawal on River Kabul. In a site-wise comparison of both River Swat and Kabul, the Zn concentrations in the stem of Sara Sela rice on River Panjkora were 55.5±4.37, showing significant differences among different sites on the rivers. Similarly, comparing metal concentrations in different rice varieties generally did not show significant differences between the varieties. Zn concentrations in rice were higher in the Swat River than in the rest in all cases. Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values for Zn were in the order of soil > roots > stem > leaves > grains for River Swat and Kabul. In contrast, for River Panjkora Zn concentration, the order was soil > stem > root > grains> leaves, respectively. Zn absorption by rice in the form of ions or particles generally affects plant phenotypic, physiological, and molecular development; hence, it must be considered in present varieties for the future.
Âhiret Hayatının Gerekliliği Bağlamında İmam Mâtürîdî’nin Deizm Eleştirisi
Authors: GÜMÜŞOĞLU Hasan
Published: November 2023

Akıl ile anlaşılan ve âleme müdahale etmeyen bir ilâhın varlığını kabul edip nübüvvet tarafından ortaya konulan âhiret inancını inkâr etmek manasına gelen deizm, Avrupa’da Aydınlanma dönemiyle birlikte özellikle pozitif bilim çevrelerinde itibar görmeye başlamıştır. Deizm’in Avrupa’da gelişmesinde Descartes, Newton, Voltaire, David Hume ve Kant gibi filozof ve bilim adamlarının düşüncelerinin önemli etkisinin olduğu söylenebilir. İslâmî ıstılahlar arasında deizme manasıyla karşılık gelecek bir kelime olmamakla birlikte Dehriyye, Berâhime, ilhad ve zındıklık gibi kelimeleri, deizm ve ateizmin manalarını ihtiva edecek şekilde farklı inkâr anlayışları için kullanılmıştır. Bununla birlikte “Dehrîyye”nin ateizme daha yakın bir manada, “Berâhime”nin peygamberliği inkâr etme şeklinde daha hususi manada “ilhad” ve “zındıklık” kelimelerinin ise, İslâm’ın esaslarına reddetme manasına gelen her çeşit inkârı ifade için kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Deizmin dünyada ve ülkemizde ilgi konusu olmasına paralel olarak konunun lehinde ve aleyhinde yapılan çalışmalarda gözle görülür bir artış olmuştur. Bu makalede âhiret hayatının varlığına dair İmam Mâtürîdî’nin zikrettiği aklî deliller ele alınmıştır. Bu konuda özellikle Te’vîlâtü Ehli’s-sünne’de yer alan deliller inceleme konusu yapılmıştır. Ayrıca Mâtürîdî’nin belirttiği şekilde nübüvvet ispat edilmekle âhiret hayatının varlığı da ispat edilmiş olacağından onun Kitâbü’t-Tevhîd’de nübüvvetin gerekliliği konusunda yaptığı geniş açıklamalara da yer verilmiştir. Mâtürîdî, Kur’an’a inanmayanların onda yer alan delilleri de kabul etmeyeceklerine dikkat çekerek onlar için aklî delil getirmenin önemli olduğunu belirtmiştir. İnsanların âhiret hayatını inkâr etme sebeplerini sorgulayan Mâtürîdî, insanların her şeyi kendi güçlerine göre mukayese ederek anlamaya çalışmalarını, âhiret hayatının inkârında önemli bir sebep olarak görür. O, insanların ölüleri diriltmeye kendi güçlerinin yetmeyeceğini sanmalarının, ahiret hayatını inkârda önemli etkisi olduğunu açıklar. Şayet onlar, göklerin ve yerin yaratılışına bakıp düşünselerdi, Allah Teâlâ’nın kudretinin mahlûkatın gücünden farklı olduğunu bileceklerdi. Ayrıca âlemi yaratan Allah’ın onu sadece yok olmak üzere yaratmış olmasının abes ve faydasız bir iş olacağına dikkat çeken İmam Mâtürîdî, onun bir gayesinin olması gerektiğini belirterek bu durumun yaratılanların yaptıklarının karşılığını göreceği âhiret hayatının varlığına delalet ettiğini söylemiştir. İmam Mâtürîdî, akıl ve irade gibi üstün sıfatlara sahip olan insanın bir gaye bulunmadan yani başıboş yaratılmasının akıl ve hikmet açısından geçersiz olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Ayrıca “Dünya, ebedî olsaydı, işlenen amellerin karşılığını vermek mümkün olmazdı” diyen Mâtürîdî, insanlar tarafından fazilet ve kötülük sahibi kimsenin birbirinden ayırt edilmesi ve herkese işlediğinin karşılığının verilmesi gerekli görülmekle, insanın dünyada imtihan için yaşadığının kabul edildiğini belirtip bunun karşılığın tam manasıyla âhirette görüleceğini açıklamıştır.
