A Non-Axiomatic System Can Deal with Apparent Nonmonotonicity in the Same Way as Human Beings
Authors: López Astorga Miguel ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2024

Lukowski argued that four typical examples of inferences used to show that human beings’ natural reasoning is nonmonotonic do not reveal that. Lukowski’s analyses support the idea that those inferences are actually monotonic deductions. My aim here is to check whether a particular non-axiomatic logic is consistent with the habitual conclusions people draw in those kinds of inferences. This is relevant because that nonaxiomatic logic is the logical structure of a computer program. So, if the logic is coherent with the usual conclusions in those types of inferences, the computer program is also compatible with them.

The Division as a Common Heritage – Nicosia Case.
Authors: Abumahfouz Haneen , Hajısmaıl Salah
Published: December 2024

Since 1963, Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, has been divided between Turkish and Greek communities due to prolonged political conflict, resulting in a buffer zone that separates the city. This research examines the historical, social, and environmental dimensions of the buffer zone, exploring how it can be transformed from a symbol of division into a positive heritage site that supports future reunification. While the division disrupted urban continuity, the buffer zone has become a unique ecological and historical space, fostering biodiversity and preserving cultural remnants that reflect both communities' heritage.
A comprehensive SWOT analysis reveals the buffer zone's strengths, such as the natural regeneration of flora and fauna and the reduction of direct conflict. However, it also identifies weaknesses, including the creation of dead spaces in urban centers and the absence of human interaction. Opportunities arise from using the buffer zone’s biodiversity and cultural potential to create shared public spaces and eco-tourism ventures. At the same time, threats, such as ownership disputes or the risk of reigniting conflicts during redevelopment, highlight the need for careful planning.
The proposed strategy aligns with the CURE framework and ICOMOS/ICCROM’s post-conflict guidelines, focusing on inclusive documentation, legal clarity, natural heritage conservation, and stakeholder involvement. This strategy emphasizes joint investment in environmental and cultural projects, public participation, and the creation of shared markets and cultural hubs. If successful, this transformation will generate economic growth, rebuild social trust, and provide a sustainable urban model for reconciliation. Ultimately, Nicosia’s buffer zone could become a powerful symbol of humanity’s ability to overcome long-standing separations, serving as an example for other divided cities across the globe

Results: As a result of the evaluation, in the cases narrated by Razi, there are people from different social groups such as Razi himself, the ruler, his friend and the slave. Findings such as the diseases that caused the case narratives, the treatment methods applied for these diseases, the presence of a negative opinion towards the physician, the feeling of trust between the physician and the patient, instant clinical observations and the duration of treatment have been obtained.
Conclusion: In Razi’s case narratives, it has seen that he was influenced by the theoretical knowledge and practices of his predecessors, Hippocrates and Galen. In the case narratives presented by Razi, it has been noticed that while the patient group consisted of different people, some cases based on complaints such as paralysis, swelling, heat stroke, discharge, stomach pain and burning were repeated. In these narratives, it can be said that Razi’s style is dominated by clarity, comprehensibility and simplicity.
Psychological Resilience as a Mediator in the Relationship Between Meaning in Life and Psychological Distress in Adolescents
Authors: Akdağ Berhan , Ünsal Cansu , Arıcı Gürbüz Asiye
Published: December 2024

Objective: Adolescence is marked by significant physical, psychosocial, and cognitive changes. This developmental stage increases vulnerability to mental health challenges, with several mental disorders first manifesting during this period and potentially persisting into adulthood, thus imposing a substantial societal burden. Addressing interventions and protective factors is crucial for enhancing adolescent mental health. However, the role of meaning in life (MIL)—a principal concept in existential psychology for maintaining psychological well-being—has not been thoroughly investigated. This study explored the relationship between MIL and psychological distress in adolescents and proposed that psychological resilience might mediate this relationship.
Methods: The study sample comprised 113 adolescents attending the Silifke State Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic in Mersin, Türkiye. Data collection occurred through face-to-face interviews based on DSM-5 criteria between February 2024 and March 2024.
Results: The findings indicated that the presence of MIL significantly negatively predicted psychological distress (b = –.16 [–.23, –.09], p < .001). Furthermore, psychological resilience completely mediated the association between MIL and psychological distress (b = –.04 [–.07, –.01]).
Discussion: Strengthening MIL and resilience may effectively reduce psychological distress among adolescents. Additional longitudinal studies are necessary to further elucidate the relationship between MIL and mental health in this population.

Authors: Avcı Yakup , Sülün Yusuf
Published: December 2024

Canlıların temel yaşam kaynağı olan suyun önemi son yıllarda daha da artmaktadır. Hızlı nüfus artışı sonucunda suya duyulan talep, küresel iklim değişikliği, su kirliliği ve insanların suyu bilinçsizce kullanımı gibi nedenler su kıtlığı sorununu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Su kıtlığının ve temiz suya ulaşabilme sorunlarının gelecekte daha da artacağı açıktır. Bu nedenle su kaynaklarının sürdürülebilir kullanılması ve gelecek nesillere ulaştırılabilmesi için su okuryazarlık düzeyi yüksek birey ve toplumlara ihtiyaç vardır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, ortaokul öğrencilerinin su okuryazarlık düzeylerinin çeşitli demografik değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemektir. Bu araştırmanın evrenini, 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında Burdur ili Çavdır ve Gölhisar ilçelerinde öğrenim gören ortaokul öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini bu öğrenciler arasından basit seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 579 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden, betimsel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgiler Formu” ile Sözcü ve Türker (2020a) tarafından geliştirilen “Su Okuryazarlık Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. 30 maddeden oluşan Su Okuryazarlık Ölçeği, su tasarrufu (13 madde), su bilinci (12 madde), su duyarlılığı (5 madde) olmak üzere üç alt faktörden oluşmaktadır. Anket soruları Google Form üzerinden oluşturulmuş ve link yoluyla katılımcılarla paylaşılarak veriler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPPS 22 paket programına aktarılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizlerde ikili gruplar arasında bağımsız gruplar t-testi yapılmış, ikiden fazla gruplar arasında ise çoklu karşılaştırma testlerinden tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi, anne ve baba eğitim düzeyi açısından anlamlı farklılık bulunmuş ancak diğer değişkenler açısından anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır. Araştırmada kızlar lehine, ve eğitim düzeyi yüksek ebeveynler lehine anlamlı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlardan hareketle su okuryazarı bir birey yetiştirebilmek için aileden başlayarak daha erken yaşlarda su bilincinin kazandırılması ve su ile ilgili konularda bireylerin de dahil edilerek suya yönelik bilinçlerinin arttırılması gerektiği üzerinde durulmuştur.

Authors: Bejarano Cristina , Pineda Erika
Published: December 2024

Introducción

La presencia de caninos callejeros es un tema de estudio para la salud pública, afecta la propagación de enfermedades infecciosas entre caninos, zoonosis, la contaminación ambiental (esparcen basura, presentación de heces en las aceras) y las posibles lesiones o agresiones hacia los humanos (Bejarano Rivera et al., 2022; Zumpano et al., 2012).

La buena tenencia por parte de los propietarios juega un papel importante y son obligaciones que contraen por medio de regalos, comprar, adoptar o recoger un canino de la calle (Furtado et al., 2020; Root Kustritz, 2012).

El Tumor venéreo transmitible (TVT) también conocido como sarcoma infeccioso, linfosarcoma venéreo, granuloma venéreo, condiloma canino, tumor transmisible de células reticulares y tumor de Sticker, se transmite por el coito, con mayor prevalencia en ciudades con sobrepoblación en países en desarrollo, por la presentación de perros callejeros y por no tener control en la reproducción (Ortega-Pacheco et al., 2003; Zerpa & Rojas, 2015).

El TVT se lo encuentra del tracto reproductivo de caninos hembras y machos, también a nivel extragenital del cuerpo, como la piel, cara, contorno de los ojos, las áreas nasales, la boca, el recto y los órganos internos como bazo, hígado, cerebro y pulmones también pueden verse afectados, con efecto de metástasis (Strakova et al., 2022).

La transmisión es vía venérea sin descartar otras vías, extragenital por algún tipo de mordedura, lamido, rascado u olfateo de un animal enfermo a un sano o viceversa, (Gonzalez et al., 2010; Ortega-Pacheco et al., 2003; Zerpa & Rojas, 2015).

Objetivos

Analizar la presencia de caninos callejeros para la salud pública. Conocer la prevalencia de TVT en caninos.

Método

La presente investigación se realizó en Ecuador, provincia de Tungurahua en la parroquia de Pelileo con una población total de 7.986 personas, en los caseríos La Clementina, Sálate y El Obraje, las comunidades están situadas en las siguientes coordenadas geográficas: 01º 17´ 55,7” de latitud Sur y 78º 30´ 57,5” de longitud Oeste, a la altitud de 2 088 msnm.Fue descriptiva, analítica y observacional.

Principales resultados

De los 187 caninos muestreados, 13 fueron positivos a TVT, 7 hembras y 6 machos. Una de las variables relevantes en este estudio se relaciona con el sexo de los animales que presentaron TVT, pues éste se considera uno de los factores de riesgos que se asocian a la patología.

Conclusiones

La esterilización en caninos como aporte para la sociedad, la educación continua sobre la tenencia de caninos, evita el nacimiento de camadas y la presencia de caninos callejeros.

Beyond Material Wealth: A Conceptual Analysis of Well-being Terminology in the Quran
Authors: Ahmad Syahirul Alim  , Alim Akhmad , Hafidhuddin Didin
Published: December 2024

The global socio-economic disparity highlights a fundamental flaw in traditional economic welfare systems. In response, Muslim economists propose an alternative through the more comprehensive and integrative concept of Islamic welfare. This study examines welfare terminology in the Quran to investigate the foundations of this concept. Utilizing a literature study approach with thematic interpretation methods, the research demonstrates that the Quran advocates for a holistic understanding of welfare. It emphasizes the spiritual dimension as the core foundation, harmonizing material, and non-material aspects to achieve inclusive social welfare. The ultimate goals include al-Falah (success in life), al-Sa'adah (happiness), Hayatun Thayyibatun (a good life in this world), and Na'imum Muqim (eternal bliss in the afterlife). The study recommends integrating spiritual welfare into the Islamic economic system and developing measurement instruments that align with this framework. Additionally, further research is needed to explore each welfare term in the Quran in greater depth.

Authors: Mehwish Iqbal  , Havaida Munir  , Ayesha Zummer  , Aqsa Malik
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to explore the cognitive and emotional experiences of hospitalized individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring depression. Despite increasing research on dual diagnoses, little is known about how individuals experience hospitalization and treatment for both conditions. Eight participants, aged 22 tso 57 years, diagnosed with both SUD and depression, were recruited from hospitals in Multan, Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Four super-ordinate themes emerged: (1) Triggers and pathways to treatment, (2) Impact of addiction and depression on daily life, (3) Treatment experience and response to care, and (4) Hope, motivation, and recovery. These themes shed light on the psychological, emotional, and social challenges faced by individuals with dual diagnoses and highlight the complexities of managing both conditions during hospitalization. The results underscore the need for combined care approaches where both SUD and mental health disorders are treated concurrently. Understanding the lived experiences of these individuals can inform better treatment strategies, improve patient outcomes, and reduce stigma. Keywords: substance use disorder, depression, co-occurring disorders, hospitalization, integrated care, recovery, stigma.

The primary objective of this research was to examine and explore the foundational concepts and principles of peace embedded within the secondary school curricula of Urdu and English in Peshawar, Pakistan. To achieve this, the study employed thematic analysis, aiming to answer the central question: What peace education concepts and content are integrated into the secondary school curricula of English and Urdu in Peshawar, Pakistan? The research involved a detailed thematic analysis of the content in both Urdu and English subjects. This process included identifying initial codes, organizing these codes into categories, and developing overarching themes. The key findings from this analysis revealed a significant need for substantial improvement and revitalization of the content in both subjects. Although some elements of peace education were present, they were insufficiently developed and inadequately integrated. This gap highlights the necessity for a comprehensive overhaul of the curricula to better incorporate peace education concepts, content and principles. By doing so, the educational framework could be strengthened to more effectively foster peace among students.

The study examines the influence of intellectual capital on the relationship between agency costs and firm performance using a sample of Asian agricultural firms. The study uses value added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) as a proxy of intellectual capital, which is based on human capital efficiency, structural capital efficiency and employed physical capital efficiency.  Using the data of 9 Asian economies, the findings suggest that intellectual capital, in general, neutralizes the negative effects of agency cost on firm performance. Further analysis reveals that human capital efficiency and capital employed efficiency mitigate while structural capital efficiency has no impact on the negative relationship between agency cost and firm performance. These findings are robust to several robust tests. Overall, the study contributes to the resource-based view of intellectual capital by documenting how firms might neutralize the negative relationship between agency cost and firm performance while emphasizing intellectual capital.

Hiperurisemia merupakan gangguan metabolik yang sering terjadi pada lansia, ditandai dengan peningkatan kadar asam urat dalam darah yang dapat menyebabkan penyakit gout dan komplikasi lainnya. Salah satu faktor yang dapat memengaruhi kadar asam urat adalah aktivitas fisik. Namun, hubungan antara tingkat aktivitas fisik dan kadar asam urat pada lansia masih memerlukan penelitian lebih lanjut, khususnya di wilayah dengan karakteristik populasi spesifik seperti Kecamatan Tanjung Bumi, Kabupaten Bangkalan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan kadar serum asam urat pada lansia di Kecamatan Tanjung Bumi, Kabupaten Bangkalan, Jawa Timur. Asam urat yang tinggi dapat menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan seperti gout, terutama pada usia lanjut. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional melibatkan 259 lansia dengan pengukuran aktivitas fisik melalui kuesioner dan kadar asam urat menggunakan alat pengukur asam urat. Analisis statistik dilakukan untuk menentukan hubungan antara tingkat aktivitas fisik dan kadar asam urat dalam darah.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden (61,8%) memiliki tingkat aktivitas fisik tinggi, dan 64,1% responden tidak mengalami hiperurisemia. Analisis statistik menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat aktivitas fisik dengan kadar serum asam urat (p-value = 0,000). PRR menunjukkan bahwa risiko hiperurisemia pada lansia dengan aktivitas fisik tinggi adalah 0,191 kali dibandingkan lansia dengan aktivitas fisik rendah (95% CI: 0,130-0,281). Aktivitas fisik yang lebih tinggi berhubungan dengan kadar serum asam urat yang lebih rendah pada lansia di Kecamatan Tanjung Bumi, Kabupaten Bangkalan. Temuan ini menyoroti pentingnya promosi aktivitas fisik sebagai strategi pengelolaan hiperurisemia pada lansia. Penelitian lebih lanjut dengan desain longitudinal diperlukan untuk mendukung hasil ini.
