Ulusal Haber Ajansları Üzerinden Orman Yangını Haberlerinin Risk İletişimi Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: DEMİREL Simge
Published: January 2023

Son yıllarda dünya genelinde yoğun bir şekilde yaşanan orman yangınları, gerek iklimsel koşullara gerekse de antropojenik etkilere bağlı olarak ortaya çıkmakta ve insan-çevre sağlığı için ciddi bir risk oluşturmaktadır. Toplumsal, ekonomik ve ekolojik bağlamda değerlendirilebilecek çeşitli risk ve tehditleri içerisinde barındıran orman yangınlarının nedenlerine, gerçekleşme anına ve sonrasında ortaya çıkan sonuçlara yönelik küresel ve ulusal düzeyde gerçekleştirilecek bir bilgilendirme süreci sağlıklı bir risk yönetimi açısından gerekli görülmektedir. Olaya ya da konuya ilişkin risklerin ortaya konmasında, alınan kararların, uyulması gereken tedbirlerin hızlı ve doğru bir şekilde kamuoyuna aktarılmasında ve risklerin bertaraf edilmesinde medyanın öncü bir konumda olduğu düşünülmektedir. Özellikle de Türkiye’de bölgesel olarak ani gelişen ya da gelişmesi muhtemel olan olayların takip edilmesinde, kitle iletişim araçlarına servis edilmesinde ve topluma aktarılmasında ulusal haber ajanslarının rolünün de oldukça büyük olduğu görülmektedir. Türkiye’de herhangi bir bölgede meydana gelen orman yangınlarının neden oluştuğu, nasıl bir gelişim gösterdiği, sonuçlarının neler olduğu üzerine ulusal haber ajansları tarafından servis edilen haberler ve habere ilişkin görsel unsurlar, hızlı ve güncel bilginin topluma aktarılmasında ve izlenmesi gereken yolların ortaya konmasında önem teşkil etmektedir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ulusal haber ajanslarında yer alan orman yangını haberlerinin nasıl ve ne şekilde sunulduğunu içerik analizi yoluyla ortaya koymak ve risk iletişimi bağlamında genel bir değerlendirme yapmaktır. Bu amaçla 1-31 Temmuz 2022 tarihleri arasında Anadolu Ajansı’nda (AA), İhlas Haber Ajansı’nda (İHA) ve Demirören Haber Ajansı’nda (DHA) yer alan haberler incelemeye alınmış ve elde edilen bulgular tablolar halinde sunulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, ulusal haber ajanslarında yer alan orman yangını haberlerinin daha çok yangına ilişkin müdahale anına ve yangının kontrol altına alındığına ilişkin temaları içerdiğini ve bu haberlerin toplumu uyarıcı/ harekete geçirici olmaktan ziyade genel bilgiler içerdiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

hata yönetimi iklimi, ekip çalışması tutumları gibi örgütsel davranış kavramları arasındaki ilişki-etki

incelenmiş ve bu liderlik tarzlarının yaş, cinsiyet gibi bazı sosyo demografik özelliklere göre anlamlı

farklılıkların ortaya koyulduğu saptanmıştır. Sağlık kuruluşları başta olmak üzere insan ögesinin yer

aldığı tüm sosyo teknik örgütlerde, liderlik ve liderlik tarzlarının kurum tarafından daha zengin, daha

açık bir şekilde anlaşılması ve uygulanabilmesi amacıyla bütün çalışanlara yönelik eğitimler veya

seminerler verilmesi önerilmektedir. Örgüt ikliminin (etik liderlik iklimi vb.) oluşturulmasına yönelik

politikaların geliştirilmesinde kanıt temelli (sistematik ve-veya meta analiz sonuçları) kararların

alınması önerilmektedir.
Klasik Şiirde Kiliseye Dair İmajlar
Authors: AKTAŞ Mutlu Muhammet
Published: January 2023

Hep yeniyi ve güzeli söyleme gayesinde olan klasik Türk edebiyatı şairleri, içlerinde bulundukları toplumdan başlayarak tabiata ve bütün kâinata kadar sanata malzeme olan her şeye ulaşmaya çalışmışlardır. Elde ettiklerinin çoğunu ise mekân tasavvurlarıyla birleştirerek çeşitli imajlar oluşturmuşlardır. Bu nedenle klasik Türk şiirinde mekâna dair tahayyüller oldukça yaygındır. Dinî nitelikli yapılar da gerek mimari özelliklerinin farklı oluşu gerek inançla ilgili unsurları yansıtmaları bakımından şairleri fazlasıyla cezbetmiştir. Bunlar arasında kiliselerin ayrı bir yeri vardır. Çünkü İslamiyet’i kendine kaynak edinmiş bir edebiyatın farklı bir dine ait kutsal bir mekânı tasavvurlarında sıklıkla kullanması önemlidir. Böyle bir anlayış diğer dinlerin hâkim olduğu milletlerin edebiyatlarında yoktur. Her ne kadar bu durum klasik edebiyat için önemli olsa da bilhassa kilise mefhumu ile ilgili geniş kapsamlı bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Biz de bundan hareketle divanlarda deyr, kilise, kilisâ, kelisâ kavramlarını taradık. Ulaştığımız manzumelerde kilisenin kullanım şekline dair elde ettiğimiz bulguları konularına göre tasnif ettik. Bunu yaparken şairlerin orijinal tahayyüllerinin olduğu beyitlere yer vermeye özen gösterdik. Bu çalışmadaki temel amacımız klasik Türk edebiyatı şairlerinin kendi inançlarına ait olmayan bir mabetle ilgili tahayyüllerini yansıtarak sosyal yaşayışın her alanıyla ne kadar ilgili olduğunu göstermek ve Türk milletinin bütün inançlara verdiği değeri ve hoşgörüyü vurgulamaktır.

Authors: Ach Fadoli  , Sakinah Naziha  , Wasik
Published: January 2023

Qur’an is a guide and holy book for Muslims whose presence is accepted. The current study of Qur’an studies places reception as one that is often discussed. This research is based on the idea of Ahmad Rafiq's reception. Then this study analyzes the reception of the Qur'an on social media. This study aims to describe the reception on the Instagram account @quranreview, which actively uploads interpretations of verses of the Qur’an. Because receptions are the result of human thought, and of course, the results will vary, the author feels the need to raise this discussion to add to the body of knowledge related to the practice of the Qur'an. The research method is a virtual ethnographic qualitative method, which collects data from online information instead of interviews and surveys. The primary data sources are posts from the @quranreview account supported by secondary data sources such as scientific journals. After the data is collected, it is analyzed with the stages of reduction, display, and data verification. The results found in the study are that there are three receptions of the Qur'an in the @quranreview account, including the reception of exegesis, aesthetic reception, and functional reception. The reception that is most prominent and dominating in this account is the reception of exegesis because it is an account that focuses on studying the interpretation of the Qur'an. Other receptions, such as aesthetic and functional, are also found through postings of verse interpretations.

كلمة التوحيد هي أهم أصول دعوة جماعة التبليغ، فلا تخلو محاضراتهم عنها، غير أنهم اختلفوا في شرحها حسب اتجاهات دعاتهم العقدية: الاتجاه الديوبندي والاتجاه السني. فهذا البحث يهدف إلى بيان أصولهم الدعوية ومنهجهم في شرح كلمة التوحيد؛ وبيان الفرق بين الاتجاهين في تطبيق المنهج. ويعتمد البحث على المنهج الاستقرائي والتحليلي بالرجوع إلى كتبهم وبيانتهم ثم تحليل أقوالهم واستنباط منهج كل اتجاه عقدي في بيان كلمة التوحيد. ويكشف البحث أن جماعة التبليغ الديوبندية يركزون حديثهم على بيان توحيد الربوبية إلا ما ندر، وتأويل صفات الله التي يرونها تشبه صفات المخلوقين، ولا يحذرون الناس من الأعمال الشركية. بينما نجد دعاة جماعة التبليغ السني يزيدون على ذلك بشرح توحيد الألوهية أكثر تفصيلا ببيان المعنى الصحيح لكلمة التوحيد، وذكر شروطها حتى تنفع قائلها يوم القيامة، وذكر نواقضها، كما أنهم يثبتون لله أسماء وصفات كما يليق بجلاله وعظمته من غير تحريف ولا تعطيل ولا تشبيه ولا تكييف، غير أنهم أيضا قليل ما يحذرون الناس من الأعمال الشركية التي وقعوا فيها.

Published: January 2023

Towards the end of the 18th century the authorities of the Austrian invaders of Poland made the decision to pull down the St Stephen Parish Church in Krakow and then to transfer the parish to the Church of the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance “na Piasku”. For over a hundred years two church communities coexisted under one roof and ran their own separate activities. At first the cooperation went well. With time, it became weaker and after several years, it turned into an open conflict. The issue involved church and lay institutions as well as the general public. Numerous attempts undertaken for years in order to resolve the dispute were not effective.
Relacje biskupów wrocławskich „Ad limina” z XVII i XVIII wieku
Authors: Kopiec Jan
Published: January 2023

Artykuł dotyczy wypełniania obowiązku regularnych wizyt w Stolicy Apostolskiej, "nałożonego na biskupów diecezjalnych przez Sobór Trydencki", na przykładzie diecezji wrocławskiej w XVII i XVIII wieku. Na podstawie bulli Romanus Pontifex papieża Sykstusa V z 20.12.1585, "biskupi wrocławscy powinni regularnie odwiedzać Stolicę Apostolską. (jak również wszystkie inne z tej części Europy) co cztery lata udają się do Rzymu i składają pisemny raport o stanie swojej diecezji.

Źródła watykańskie zawierają 14 pisemnych sprawozdań z Wrocławia z okresu 1603-1777 r. Na podstawie tych sprawozdań można stwierdzić, że biskupi wrocławscy traktowali ten obowiązek raczej formalistycznie. Bardzo rzadko zachowywały one wymagany bullą Sykstusa V okres 4 lat - często pozostawały z jedną wizytą przez cały okres panowania danego biskupa. Nie składali też wizyt osobiście, lecz byli reprezentowani przez specjalnych prokuratorów zatwierdzonych przez Rzym - zwykle kanoników lub powierników - którzy byli jednocześnie autorami raportów.

Ponieważ do roku 1740 nie istniały konkretne przepisy ani schematy pisania raportów, ich zakres i treść były bardzo zróżnicowane. Najobszerniejsze i najbogatsze w treść były napisane przez biskupów Sebastiana Rostocka (1667), Friedricha von Hessen (1678) i Franza Ludwiga (1708). W sprawozdaniach kładzie się nacisk na statystyczny opis diecezji (siedziba diecezji z katedrą, kapitułą i rezydencją biskupa, instytucje diecezjalne, struktura administracyjna diecezji, klasztory na jej terenie), ale rzadko analizuje się warunki konfesyjne i polityczne, w jakich Kościół katolicki na Śląsku musiał w tym czasie wykonywać swoje zadanie duszpasterskie. W XVII i XVIII wieku zawsze podkreślano, że Kościół nie mógł owocnie pracować, przede wszystkim z powodu agresywności protestantów i wrogiego nastawienia władców poszczególnych księstw śląskich. Znacznie mniej było ¡informacji o duchowieństwie i wiernych. Na uwagę zasługują działania wskazane przez niektórych biskupów wrocławskich w celu wyeliminowania braków i zintensyfikowania życia religijnego na Śląsku.
Pomorski krąg rodzinny ks. Józefa Tockiego (1805-1862) proboszcza ze Zduńskiej Woli.
Authors: Szkutnik Piotr
Published: January 2023

Ustalenie pochodzenia kapłana stanowi integralną cześć badań biograficznych oraz szerzej prozopograficznych duchowieństwa, stąd istotne jest wykazanie stopnia wiarygodności źródeł, które w tych badaniach są wykorzystywane. W artykule zweryfikowano pochodzenie Józefa Tockiego duchownego katolickiego, który pracował w latach 1834-1862 w mieście Zduńskiej Woli w okolicach Łodzi. Urodził się w 1805 r. na Pomorzu Gdańskim, w nadmorskiej wsi Kolibki. Był synem nauczyciela. Deklarowane w życiorysie księdza pochodzenie szlacheckie, nie znalazło jednak odzwierciedlenia w metrykach parafialnych, określających jego krewnych jako „uczciwych”.

Spośród siedmiorga sióstr księdza, wieku dojrzałego dożyły cztery, z których dwie poślubiły nauczycieli, a najstarsza wyszła za  szlachcica. Granica między zaborami ograniczała kontakty krewnych. Po osiągnięciu stabilizacji zawodowej, Józef jako proboszcz, wpłynął jedynie na losy swej młodszej siostry, która została jego gospodynią. Mariaże pozostałych sióstr utrzymały i zapewne podniosły w zakresie koneksji oraz majątku pozycję rodziny. Posługa kapłańska ich brata również wpisuje się w awans społeczny dzieci nauczyciela szkolnego.

Published: January 2023

Kościół katolicki zawsze dbał i ciągle pielęgnuje pamięć o przeszłości. Duchowni katoliccy przez wieki starali się krzewić kulturę polską, związaną z wiarą w Boga i Kościołem. Piękną kartę w tej dziedzinie zapisał ks. Władysław Skierkowski (1886-1941), kapłan diecezji płockiej, budowniczy kościoła parafialnego w Płocku-Imielnicy, a przede wszystkim badacz i popularyzator kultury, pieśni kurpiowskich oraz historiograf życia małżeńskiego i rodzinnego. Celem artykułu jest omówienie dotychczasowych form utrwalenia pamięci tego kapłana i męczennika, zamordowanego w niemieckim nazistowskim obozie Soldau. W tekście zebrano informacje o wszystkich tablicach i inskrypcjach poświęconych temu kapłanowi-etnografowi, przede wszystkim zaś odtworzono historię rodzenia się idei i okoliczności wzniesienia pomnika tego kapłana w Bogurzynie w 2021 r., gdzie w kościele parafialnym został ochrzczony i wzrastał do czasu studiów w seminarium płockim.

Background: There are so many cases report with death anxiety in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Death anxiety leads toward various types of psychopathologies as well as numerous disorders. Excessive death anxiety also affects the resilience level of CKD patients. Objective: to find out the impact of death anxiety on resilience among patients with CKD moderating role of social support. Methodology: This study design was Correlational. The sample consists of n=150 patients with CKD. Data was collected from different hospitals of Multan, Bahawalpur, and Lodhran. The CKD patients with age range from 15 to 25 years diagnosed with stage 3-5 of chronic kidney diseases on hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation were included in the study. The Death Anxiety scale-Urdu Child and Youth Resilience Measure- Urdu and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Version-12 was used for data collection. Results: The correlation analysis among study variables shows that death anxiety has significant negative correlation (p<0.01) with resilience (r=-0.55). The overall model explained the 44% of variance with F=57.08(2,147), p<0.001 for resilience, whereas in step 2, social support was found significant predictor (R2=41, B=0.39, β=0.64, p<0.01) of resilience and moderator between death anxiety and resilience. From step 3, death anxiety was similarly established significant negative predictor (R2=47, B=-0.24, β=-0.33, p<0.01) of resilience. Additionally, in step 4, the interaction of death anxiety and social support was found significant for resilience (R2= 49, B=-0.01, β=-0.56, p<0.01. Conclusion: there is a negative relationship between death anxiety and resilience. Social support significantly moderates the relationship between death anxiety and resilience.

Awareness and Utilisation of Primary Healthcare to Reduce Emergency Department Overcrowding in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alotaibi Atheer , Alotaibi Bandar , Farooq Dania
Published: January 2023

Background
Patients seeking emergency department (ED) care for non-acute conditions are a major contributor to ED overcrowding, which results in longer wait times.
Method
This was a cross-sectional study, conducted using an online survey among the Saudi population to assess their awareness about primary healthcare clinics (PHCCs) and urgent care clinics (UCCs), their role, and their scope of practice.
Results
A total of 565 participants were included in this study. Most of the respondents (81.1%) reported lengthy waiting times in the ED. Moreover, most (81.6%) stated that they had never visited a family doctor, yet they (92.6%) favoured having one for follow-up care. Close to half of the participants (50.3%) reported attending PHCCs without an appointment, and the majority of them (69.2%) said that PHCCs were overcrowded. Finally, most participants (92.4%) had not heard aboutUCCs.
Conclusion
ED overcrowding and prolonged waiting times remain a public concern. PHCCs and UCCs are underutilised, and this is attributed to the lack of awareness about their scope and their services.

Phosphomonoesterases Activity in Phosphorus-fertilized and Mycorrhizae-inoculated Cassava’s Rhizosphere in Two Savanna Agro–ecologies of Nigeria
Authors: Aliyu Ibrahim Abubakar , Gabasawa Alhassan Idris
Published: January 2023

Rhizosphere is a bio–influenced zone of soil where the interaction of microorganism and plant roots occurred tailored by the activity of soil enzymes. The activity of the enzymes depends largely on the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil environment. Experiment was carried out to examine the activity of phosphomonoesterases in the rhizosphere of cassava planted in two sites (Samaru and Minjibir) located in savanna ecologies of Nigeria. Soils from rhizosphere of the cassava were sampled from each treatment in an experiment involving split plot design. The treatments included 3 main plots (phosphorus rates at 0, 17.5 and 35 kg P2O5 ha–1) and 3 sub–plots (mycorrhizal inoculants: Glomygel and Mycodrip; and a Control). The Result of the analysis indicated higher activities of the phosphomonoesterases (acid and alkaline phosphatases) in Samaru site than Minjibir. The former recorded higher acid and alkaline phosphates activities over the latter with a magnitude of 96.84% and 43.65% respectively. This is attributed to the variability in the soil characteristics between the two sites. The main effect of P fertilizer indicated that 0 kg P2O5 ha–1 recorded a significantly (p<0.05) higher phosphomonoesterases activity than application of 17.5 and 35 kg P2O5 ha–1. Inoculation with mycorrhizae also increased the activities of the phosphomonoesterases in both sites which indicate increase mycorrhizal colonization as a result of inoculation. It is concluded therefore, that the activity of phosphomonoesterases in the rhizosphere can be affected by fertilization as well as enhanced by inoculation with the influence of soil characteristics.

The study identified the factors affecting the adoption of agrochemical safety measures among crop farmers in the Southern Agricultural Zone of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study include; identifying the rate of awareness of agrochemical safety measures, to identify adoption level of agrochemical safety measures and to determine the effect of socio-economic characteristic on the adoption of agrochemical safety measures. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select 220 crop farmers for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain data and data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The Result of the study revealed that farmers in the area were aware of the following agrochemical safety measures: avoid eating and drinking when using agrochemicals/bathing after spraying (85%), washing spraying clothes separately from other clothes (74%), and danger of ingestion/inhalation of agrochemicals (70%) among others. Also, results on the adoption of agrochemical safety measures show that 50% of the respondents adopted on a high scale level, 38% adopted on a medium scale and 12% adopted on a low scale. Level of education, extension contact, farm size, and household size were the socio-economic characteristics that had un influence on the adoption of agrochemical safety measures in the area. It is therefore recommended that extension workers should intensify un enlightenment campaign on the danger of exposure to agrochemicals in order to achieve full adoption of agrochemical safety measures by crop farmers.

Refakatçisiz Göçmen Kadınların Göç Deneyimi: Sivas Örneği Üzerinden Karşılaştıkları Sorun Alanlarının İncelenmesi
Authors: BİLGİLİ Feride Fatma
Published: January 2023

Göç olgusu her yönüyle oldukça zorlu ve karmaşık bir süreçtir. Göçe konu olan tüm toplumsal gruplar göç sürecinin olumsuz etkileriyle karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Bu toplumsal grupların içinde göç sürecinden en fazla etkilenen ve en kırılgan gruplardan biri de kadınlardır. Kadınlar toplumsal cinsiyetlerinden dolayı göç sürecinde daha fazla zorluğa maruz kalmakta ve bu nedenle de göçü daha farklı deneyimlemektedir. Sayıca dünya üzerindeki göçmenlerin yarısını oluşturan kadınlar toplumsal cinsiyetleri nedeniyle erkek göçmenlere göre daha çok mağduriyet yaşamaktadır. Fakat böyle bir gerçekliğe rağmen göç çalışmalarında kadınların sorunlarına yeterince yer verilmemektedir. Bu çalışmada eşini savaşta kaybetmiş Suriyeli kadınların göç sürecinde hem göçmen kadın hem de yalnız göçmen kadın olmaktan dolayı yaşadıkları çoklu dezavantajlılık durumu kendi anlatıları üzerinden ele alınacaktır. Bu anlamda kadınların göç süreçlerindeki görünürlüğüne katkı sağlamayı amaçlayan bu çalışma göçmen kadınların sorunlarını toplumsal cinsiyet perspektifiyle ele almayı amaçlamakta ve refakatçisiz sığınmacı kadınların göç sürecini toplumsal cinsiyetleri dolayısıyla nasıl deneyimlediklerini sorunsallaştırmaktadır
Architecture and Societal Problems: Development of Rehab Facility for Drug Addicts Reintegration
Authors: Atamewan Eugene Ehimatie
Published: January 2023

Drug abuse problems in recent times have become an issue of grave concern and worrisome globally, with similar consequences for society. The paper emphasized the role of architecture in facilitating a therapeutic process for drug addicts in rehabilitation centre design as one of the solutions to this problem. Architectural spaces undoubtedly affect and influence the actions and attitudes of users. The study aims to integrate therapeutic techniques in rehabilitation centre design with enhanced spatial efficiency for holistic patient treatment to integrate them back into society. The methodology of the study is both theoretical and practical, involving a literature review, appraisal of case studies; observations, use of interviews and architectural design principles to formulate and produce a design model for a rehab centre in Calabar, Nigeria. Findings revealed that there are no known well-designed centres to rehabilitate victims of drug addiction in Calabar, Nigeria. The few centres available function as detention and discriminating spaces. The study concludes that rehab centres that focus on the therapeutic healing principles approach, which deals with patients’ mental, psychological, social and spiritual needs, should be developed in Calabar and other cities in Nigeria for swift rehabilitation of addicts.
Qualche osservazione sulla lingua della "Secchia rapita"
Authors: Cella Roberta
Published: January 2023

Il contributo tratteggia quanto e come la componente linguistica contribuisca alla miscela di «grave e burlesco» nella Secchia rapita di Alessandro Tassoni, testo fondatore del genere eroicomico. La componente seria – condivisa con la coeva produzione ispirata ai modelli lin-guistici di Petrarca, Boccaccio e Tasso – è ottenuta con l’ordine artificiale delle parole nella frase e con l’alternanza di tratti fonomorfologici concorrenti ma tutti legittimati dalla codificazione di Bembo e dall’uso letterario del tempo; la componente burlesca è ottenuta, oltre che con la spro-porzione tra la sostanza della vicenda narrata e l’impianto metrico-sintattico epico, con l’uso di lessico quotidiano o parodico.
Commentare un poema eroicomico
Authors: Cabani Maria Cristina
Published: January 2023

Non più commentata da oltre mezzo secolo, la Secchia rapita necessita di una moderna interpretazione che faccia tesoro dei risultati delle ricerche svolte negli ultimi anni e offra una nuova prospettiva di lettura del testo. Il saggio si interroga sui problemi aggiuntivi rispetto al normale commento che un testo eroicomico presenta a chi voglia interpretarlo.
Sopravvivenze eroi(comi)che: l'edizione Vigo dei "Paralipomeni della Batracomiomachia" di Leopardi
Authors: Tognarelli Chiara
Published: January 2023

Nel 1869 Giuseppe Chiarini cura i Paralipomeni della Batracomiomachia per le edizioni di Francesco Vigo. Il libro costituisce un caso editoriale che consente di riflettere sulla ricezione del poemetto leopardiano e, più in generale, sulla perdurante vitalità del genere eroico ed eroicomico nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento: negli anni in cui il romanzo guadagna un ruolo egemonico nel sistema letterario italiano, un sodalizio di stampo classicista e ascendenza giordaniana – quello che lega Francesco Ambrosoli, Antonio Gussalli e Giuseppe Chiarini – difende l’epos, anche nella sua declinazione comico-satirica, quale forma illustre e perennemente attuale. Una battaglia ardua, come avrebbe poi messo in luce la critica di fine Novecento.
