Authors: AROWOSEGBE A O , OJO D A , SHITTU O B , DEDEKE I O
Published: August 2021

Neonatal sepsis, a bacterial infection of blood in the first month of life is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries and factors associated with positive blood culture and perinatal deaths among neonates are rarely described. This study was conducted at the Special Baby Care Unit of Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta (FMCA), Southwest Nigeria, to identify the predictors of positive blood culture and deaths due to neonatal sepsis among neonates admitted with clinical diagnosis of septicemia between January and April 2013. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, peripatal events and clinical characteristics of neonates were collected on proforma designed for the study. Blood culture was done on Brain Heart Infusion broth and Thioglycolate broth followed by identification of isolates using conventional methods. Serum Procalcitonin (PCT) and Serum C reactive protein (CRP) Levels were determined by immunochromatographic and immuno-turnidimetric assay respec-tively. The neonates were monitored until discharge from the hospital. Among 180 neonates admitted during the study period, there were 85 cases of clinically suspected sepsis. Forty (47.1%) were males and 45(52.9%) were females while 55 (63.5%) neonates and 30 (36.5%) neonates presented with early and late onset sepsis respectively. Positive blood culture was found in 19 (22.4%) of the neo-nates; 14 (73.7%) of neonates with positive blood cultures had early onset neonatal sepsis and 5 (26.3%) had late onset sepsis. Factors that predicted positive blood culture in both early and late onset neonatal sepsis were mode of delivery (p=0.033), estimated gestational age (p=0.039), and CRP (p=0.000). None of the clinical characteristics was found to be statistically significant with positive blood culture. Deaths occurred in 27 (36%) of neonates. The case-fatality rate was 29%. Predictors of death were booking status (p=0.011), birth after prolonged labour (p=0.014), place of delivery (p=0.001), place of antenatal care (p=0.021), respiratory distress (p=0.034), poor cry (p=0.040), con-vulsion (p=0.011) and PCT (p=0.001). Our findings suggest that mode of delivery and estimated ges-tational age are significantly associated with positive blood culture in both early and late onset neona-tal sepsis. Mortality from neonatal sepsis is high in this study. Booking status, place of delivery, place of antenatal care significantly contributed to mortality suggesting that antenatal and perinatal care remains associated with neonatal mortality.

The study assessed the waste management practices adopted by farmers in some rural communities around Abeokuta in Ogun State, Nigeria. Seven research questions were raised and answered, using a total of 40 structured questionnaires. The questionnaires were administered, with personal communi-cation, to individual farmers in order to gather pieces of information from farm establishments in the study area. Farms of one hectare of land and above were sampled. The study revealed the methods of waste management practiced in the area to include incineration (80.0%), â€œre-useâ€ (40.0%), waste contractors (27.5%), burying and tipping (15%), storage (12.5%), â€œtake back by suppliersâ€ (7.5%) and others (7.5%). the choice of waste management methods adopted by the farmers was found to be dependent on cheapness (32.5%), common practice around (14.0%), suitability (11.0%) and others (2.5%). The level of awareness of waste regulatory bodies was relatively low (35.0%) in the rural areas.

Published: August 2021

A Knowledge-Based Expert System (KBES) which will aid diagnosis of plant faults within Silicate Glass Plant domain was developed. Knowledge was elicited using a combination of techniques (protocol-generation, teach and teach back, protocol analysis techniques) and root cause failure analy-sis was used to identify primary cause of fault as they were presented by the domain experts. The elicited knowledge were structured and coded in form of rules using C Language Integrated Produc-tion System â€žCLIPS SHELLâ€Ÿ. The KBES developed comprised a main system and four sub-systems with utility files. Performance evaluation was carried out on the KBES for consistency and exactness. Field tests were conducted and the data acquired were analyzed using some maintenance parame-ters. Results obtained when the KBES was used in the plantâ€Ÿs faults diagnosis compared with when it was not used showed that with expert system in use, an average reduction in plant downtime of 36.62% was obtained for field test carried out. Also, 24.28% and 34.03% were obtained for average increase in Plant Availability and Total Plant Maintenance Productivity respectively.

Published: August 2021

The study of â€œexternalâ€ radiation called cosmic radiation that strikes the earth from anywhere beyond the atmosphere is of great importance in radiation protection. All human beings are exposed to an uncontrollable amount of cosmic radiation on the ground level. Those who travel in space, airline crews and frequent flyers are exposed to additional level of cosmic radiation during their trip but unfor-tunately many of them are not aware of this. This workcalculates the exposure of aircrews and fre-quent flyers to cosmic radiation during travel along some air routes to and from Nigeria. The effective dose was computed using a dedicated software CARI 6M, developed by US FAA.The study focuses on the significance of the in-flight exposure, assessment and estimation of in-flight exposure using the dedicated software and some ways of controlling the exposures so that airline crews and frequent flyers are not exposed to fatal levels of radiation.It was observed that the cosmic radiation doses re-ceived by passengers and crew members on board on flights from Lagos Nigeria to countries in Amer-ica were more than what they received en-route countries in Asia.

The effect of frying temperatures ranging from 150-180 Â°C and frying time of 3-12 mins on the compo-sition and sensory quality of sweetpotato crisps from white-fleshed and yellow-fleshed varieties were investigated in this study. Chemical composition, sensory properties and overall acceptability of the crisps were determined using standard methods. Results obtained showed moisture content (2.37-7.50%), fat (9.77-16.22%), total sugar (1.52-4.44%), carotenoids (31.65-55.29 Î¼g/100 g), free fatty acid (0.11-0.44%) and peroxide values (2.95-12.30 mEq/kg). Each of the chemical components and sensory attributes of the crisps were significantly (p<0.001) affected by the individual and combined effects of variety, frying temperatures and frying duration (time) in minutes. The highest overall accept-ability scores were 8.46 for yellow-fleshed crisps fried at 170 Â°C/5 min and 7.84 for white-fleshed crisps fried at 180 Â°C/5 min.
MODIFIED MODULUS PROJECTION ALGORITHM FOR ERROR CONTROL IN REDUNDANT RESIDUE NUMBER SYSTEM CODE
Authors: AMUSA K A , NUGA O O
Published: August 2021

This paper presents a modified modulus projection algorithm for decoding Redundant Residue Num-ber System (RRNS) codes. RRNS code is maximum-minimum distance block codes. RRNS has found wider applications in the field of signal processing especially for error control. The essence of this modification is to reduce the required computation overhead and speed up operation. The proposed method involves conversion of received residues into mixed radix form. Based on the error detecting capability of RRNS code under study, moduli projection is carried out iteratively to determine the corre-sponding integers. The proposed algorithm considerably reduces the number of required iterations involved in the recovery process, therefore improving the speed of decoding operation.

Published: August 2021

Many face recognition algorithms perform poorly in real life surveillance scenarios because they were tested with datasets that are already biased with high quality images and certain ethnic or racial types. In this paper a black face surveillance camera (BFSC) database was described, which was collected from four low quality cameras and a professional camera. There were fifty (50) random volunteers and 2,850 images were collected for the frontal mugshot, surveillance (visible light), surveillance (IR night vision), and pose variations datasets, respectively. Images were taken at distance 3.4, 2.4, and 1.4 metres from the camera, while the pose variation images were taken at nine distinct pose angles with an increment of 22.5 degrees to the left and right of the subject. Three Face Recognition Algorithms (FRA), a commercially available Luxand SDK, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) were evaluated for performance comparison in low quality scenarios. Results obtained show that camera quality (resolution), face-to-camera distance, average recognition time, lighting conditions and pose variations all affect the performance of FRAs. Luxand SDK, PCA and LDA returned an overall accuracy of 97.5%, 93.8% and 92.9% after categorizing the BFSC images into excellent, good and acceptable quality scales.

A cross sectional study was carried out from 1st June to 30th June, 2015, to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices related to the prevention and control of Ebola Virus Disease in Ogun State, Nigeria. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 300 respondents selected by multistage sampling technique across four local governments in the state. The data collected included socio-demographics, awareness, knowledge, practices and misconceptions about EVD among the respondents. Knowledge of respondents about EVD was assessed on 20 items with a 3-points rating scale of good >14, fair 10-14 and poor <10. Of the 308 respondents that took part in the study, 111 (36%) were males and 127 (41.2%) rural dwellers and 43 (14%) of the respondents were between the ages of 9-18, 139 (45.1%) were between the ages of 19-25, 83 (26.9%) were between the ages of 26-35 and the remaining 43 (14%) were above 35 years of age. Five (1.6%) of the respondents had no formal education, 9 (2.9%) had primary education, 133 (43.2%) had secondary education and 161 (52.3%) had tertiary education. All the respondents (100%) have heard of Ebola.  Only 2.6% had poor knowledge of Ebola with 12% being able to identify four misconceptions surrounding Ebola transmission and prevention. Respondents in the study reported various changes in practices such as avoidance of physical contact (33.4%), regular hand washing with soap and water (69.2%) and hand cleaning with other disinfectants (61.7%), nevertheless 73.1% of the respondents will not report infected member of the family. Television was the major source of receiving information with the internet being the trusted source of receiving information on Ebola by the respondents. In Ogun State, awareness and comprehensive knowledge on Ebola Virus Disease transmission is high with good knowledge on misconceptions. There is need to emphasize importance of reporting suspected case(s) to the hospital

Published: August 2021

The study assessed the chemical and microbial safety of street vended local drink ‘Lego’ collected from three different vendors in Abeokuta metropolis. A control sample was prepared in the laboratory and nine samples of three different flavours (orange, pineapple and blackcurrant) were collected.  Total Vibrio count, total faecal Coliform and total staphylococcus count were estimated in all the samples. Total Vibrio cholera is completely absent while Five samples were found to harbour total staphylococci counts of bacteria within the range of 0.7-1.5x104cfu/ml. All the samples exhibited the presence of Coliform counts within the range of 1.0-9.5x104cfu/ml and Staphylococcus aurous, Micrococcus acidophilus and Klebsiella aerogenes species were bacteria isolated from the samples collected. Heavy metals were also estimated in all the collected samples. Chromium and lead were absent but cadmium was present and is within 0.01-0.025mg/g. The lowest is from orange flavour at camp with 0.01 mg/g while the highest is from Lafenwa in pineapple flavour with 0.025mg/g. Total titratable acidity ranges from 0.175 – 0.219 and the pH ranges from 4.21±0.14 and 5.40±0.00. Hence, these implies that Lego flavoured drink is bacteriologically and chemically unsafe for consumption.
GROWTH RESPONSE OF MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.) TO METAL TOXICITY
Authors: OLADELE E. O. , YAHAYA T. , ADEWUMI O. O.
Published: August 2021

This study evaluated the phytotoxic effects of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) as Pb(NO3)2  and Zn(NO3)2 on maize  (Zea mays L) considering the  plants’ growth indices, biomass as well as soil parameters and soil microorganisms after treatment. The results showed that plant growth significantly reduced with increasing concentrations (100,150 and 200 mgkg-1) of Pb and Zn contamination. The results indicated significant inhibitory effect on the growth parameters (stem height, root length, leaf area, fresh and dry weight) measured, compared to control experiment. This study therefore revealed that the heavy metals have harmful effects on maize’s growth.  Consequently, the consumption of such contaminated cereal by man and animals can lead to their death after the metals have biomagnified in their systems. Lead and Zn application in general, affected the vegetative growth; both fresh and dry weights were reduced with increasing concentrations of the metals. These results show that these metals are toxic to human and animal health. As a result, farmers should be encouraged to use water from good source for irrigation and also cultivate on metal-free soils if possible to save lives.

Published: August 2021

Garcinia kola stem bark forms part of recipes used traditionally for the treatment of malaria. In view of the prevalence of malaria in Nigeria, this study investigated the phytochemical, mineral and proximate components, as well as antiplasmodial activity and toxicological effect of Garcinia kola stem bark extract against Plasmodium berghei infected mice. The plant sample was screened for phytochemical, mineral and proximate components using standard laboratory techniques. Thirty five mice were divided into seven groups of five mice each. Malaria was induced in all the groups intraperitoneally with 0.2 mL of infected blood containing about 107 of P. berghei parasitized red blood cells, except group 6 (extract only) and group 7 (normal control). Group 1 received 100 mg/kg bodyweight of the extract orally. Group 2 received 200 mg/kg of the extract. Group 3 received 300 mg/kg of the extract. Group 4 received 5 mg/kg of chloroquine. Group 5 (induced but untreated control). The haematology, liver function enzymes and histopathology of the liver were carried out using standard protocols.  The plant was rich in alkaloids, iron and fibre. The extract treated groups (1-3) showed significant decrease (p≤0.05) in parasitemia level after seven days of treatment. There was no significant difference in AST, ALT, ALP, bilirubin and GGT activities in all the extract treated groups compared to the control. No pathological changes were evident in histopathology of all the groups treated with various concentration of the extract. The result obtained from this study confirmed the antiplasmodial activity of methanol extract of G. kola stem bark. The highest inhibition of P. berghie parasite was observed at dose 300 mg/kg comparable to chloroquine, with no hepatoxicity which confirmed the safety of G. kola. The phytochemicals and nutritional components could be responsible for the observed antiplasmodial activity of the plant.

Published: August 2021

This study investigated the presence of the radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in some cereals and tea products commonly available in Nigerian markets. Fifteen cereal samples and ten tea samples were purchased from different markets in Lagos, Nigeria. Gamma-ray spectrometric analyses of the samples were done using a High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector to obtain the activity concentrations of the radionuclides with 137Cs being below the detection limit in all the samples analyzed. The mean activity concentrations (in Bqkg-1) of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the cereal samples were (0.839 ± 0.713), (1.153 ± 1.084) and (22.514 ± 8.897) respectively; while the values for the tea samples were (1.145 ± 0.765), (0.94 ± 0.601) and (19.212 ± 9.533) respectively. The associated hazard indices for the cereals ranged from 0.0065 to 0.0368 while that for the tea products varied from 0.0044 to 0.0292. These values are well below the world recommended limit of 1.0. The calculated annual effective doses due to the ingestion of the investigated samples ranged from 0.068 mSvy-1 (for age groups from 1 y) to 0.189 mSvy-1 (for age group 17 y). For the tea samples, the highest value was found in the age group 12 – 17 y, while the lowest was found in the age group 1 – 2 y. These values are below the allowable level of 1 mSv per annum for members of the general public as recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. This indicates that the consumption of these cereals and teas do not pose as health hazards to both children and adults in the populace.

Published: August 2021

Biosurfactants are one of the microbial bioproducts that are naturally synthesized and are applicable for many industrial purposes. In this study, antibacterial, stability and antibiotic susceptibility of biosurfactant was evaluated. Biosurfactants produced from different substrates (groundnut cake, cassava flour waste, pome, cooking oil, engine oil, cassava waste water, molasses, cassava peel, potato) by Pseudomonas taenensis were evaluated for antibacterial activity using agar well diffusion method. Antibiotics susceptibility of Pseudomonas taenensis was carried out using different antibiotics (augmentin, ofloxacin, tetracyclin and ciprofloxacin, cotrimoxazole, pefloxacin, amoxylin, ceftriazone, nitrofuranton and gentamycin). The stability of the biosurfactant was evaluated by adjusting the biosurfactant to: pH (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) using 1M NaOH and 1M HCl, temperature (4, 30, 37, 55, 75 and 100 °C) and NaCl (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 %). Results showed that only biosurfactant produced using cassava waste water as substrate was sensitive to Escherichia coli while biosurfactant produced using cassava flour waste, pome and molasses were sensitive to Staphylococcus aureus. Biosurfactant-producing isolate (Pseudomonas taenensis) was sensitive to four antibiotics (augmentin, ofloxacin, tetracyclin and ciprofloxacin) and resistant to six antibiotics (cotrimoxazole, pefloxacin, amoxylin, ceftriazone, nitrofuranton and gentamycin). Biosurfactant was stable over all the wide ranges of pH, temperature and sodium chloride concentrations investigated. This study therefore revealed that biosurfactant have good stability, thus, could survive environmental stress; Not all biosurfactant and biosurfactant producers have antimicrobial and antibiotic property.

As doenças de origem alimentar são caracterizadas pela ingestão de alimentos e/ou água, com a presença de contaminantes (químicos, físicos ou biológicos) que chegam até o organismo e afetam a saúde de forma individual ou em grupo. Entre os principais causadores dessas doenças, destacam-se os micro-organismos e suas toxinas, que podem contaminar os alimentos durante toda a cadeia produtiva, podendo chegar ao consumidor principalmente quando os processos de manipulação e higiene são realizados de forma inadequada. A preocupação com os processos higiênicos merece especial atenção quando os alimentos são para consumo in natura, como ocorre habitualmente com frutas e hortaliças. Comumente são relatados a presença de contaminação desses alimentos por bactérias patogênicas, especialmente Salmonella spp., Listeria spp., Escherichia coli e estafilococos aureus. Desta forma, esta pesquisa buscou identificar os principais fatores que contribuem para a contaminação de frutas e hortaliças nas diferentes fases da cadeia produtiva por meio de um estudo de revisão, com foco nas bactérias patogênicas. As informações reunidas contemplam ainda uma discussão sobre a legislação vigente sobre o tema e sua importância para o fornecimento de um alimento seguro para consumo.

Published: August 2021

O turismo gera divisas para a economia local e mundial, em contrapartida, está vinculado a práticas insustentáveis de produção e consumo cultural. O turismo criativo apresenta-se como segmento turístico favorável à sustentabilidade quando é implantado em países em desenvolvimento. A Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) estabeleceu Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) dirigidos a orientar a sociedade em prol de parâmetros econômicos, sociais e ambientais. O objetivo do estudo reside em descrever as potencialidades do turismo criativo voltado para alcançar o ODS número 1, que trata de redução da pobreza em destinos desfavorecidos de recursos econômicos e sociais. A pesquisa é qualitativa e sua coleta de dados se pauta no levantamento de documentos e realização de entrevistas em profundidade com os produtores do turismo criativo que ocorre no bairro da Bomba do Hemetério, localizado na periferia da cidade do Recife, Brasil. Os dados foram analisados a partir da Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados revelam que o turismo criativo dispõe de mecanismos que contribuem com a redução da pobreza nas regiões visitadas, especialmente no que tange à geração de oportunidades econômicas, que viabilizam o provimento de emprego e renda, além do suprimento de carências sociais, tais como ausência de liberdade de discurso e baixa autoconfiança de residentes nas comunidades receptoras. Em contrapartida, essa modalidade de turismo exerce influência reduzida em aspectos estruturais relativos à exposição e vulnerabilidade a eventos extremos, acesso ao sistema de proteção social e potencialização do incremento de recursos econômicos que garantam o bem-estar da população local.
TEACHING STATISTICS: CREATING AN INTERSECTION FOR INTRA AND INTERDISCIPLINARITY
Authors: SAVARD ANNIE , MANUEL DOMINIC
Published: August 2021

Statistics is taught in mathematics courses in all school levels. We suggest that using rich tasks in statistics can develop statistical reasoning and create both intra and interdisciplinary links in students. In this paper, we present three case studies where middle school mathematics teachers used different tasks in lessons on pie charts. We analyzed the actions implemented/performed/attempted by teachers to support the development of statistical reasoning and the creation of intra and interdisciplinary links in their lessons. Results show that their procedural vision of statistics led them to focus more on graphical representation, neglecting aspects of statistical reasoning. Results also reveal an interdisciplinary intersection between mathematics and statistics, which may prevent the development of statistical reasoning.

El libro no tiene la pretensión de presentar de forma exhaustiva una síntesis de todos los retos y posibilidades a los que se enfrenta la sociedad colombiana, pero sí enfatizar en algunas que lleven a la comprensión, la reflexión y estudio del entorno colombiano desde diferentes miradas. Esto convierte a este maravilloso libro en un insumo para futuras investigaciones, para la comprensión de problemas específicos de una sociedad.
Canadian Physicians’ Breach of Duty to Patients and Communities from the Acquisition of Indigenous Skulls in the 19th Century to the Abandonment of People with AIDS in the 20th Century
Authors: Berger Philip
Published: August 2021

The impact of the Vienna Protocol transcends the world of Jewish law and provides important ethical considerations for modern medicine. This article provides a series of examples demonstrating how Canadian medical history intersects with the Vienna Protocol, and why historical insight remains relevant. Investigations into this exploitation include this author's own inquiry and attempt to repatriate Canadian indigenous skulls (a gift from William Osler to Rudolf Virchow), the glaring maltreatment of Aboriginal children in Canadian nutrition experiments, and the maltreatment of Canadian AIDS patients in the 1980s.

Anatomical Detail and Accuracy of the Pernkopf Atlas and Examples of Clinical Impact
Authors: Agur Anne
Published: August 2021

The high fidelity anatomical structural detail seen in the Pernkopf atlas remains unmatched in other references, including surgical anatomy atlases. An example of serial dissection illustrations are examined herein, in relation to an anatomically based clinical question. The question is about radiofrequency nerve ablation, an image-guided procedure that provides a non-opioid alternative to treat joint pain. To perform these image-guided procedures effectively, the location and course of the nerve(s) being targeted is very important. Although the patient had good pain relief, the clinician was concerned about the patient's loss of sensation around the anus following an ablation procedure of the nerves innervating the sacroiliac joint, and asked for more information about the clunial nerves and their relevance to this procedure. The anatomical illustrations in the Pernkopf atlas are highly detailed and drawn from serially dissected specimens from the skin superficially to the level of the origin of the nerves from the vertebral column deeply. Tracing the clunial nerves through five serial illustrations provided the necessary anatomical insight required to answer this clinical question for development of the ablation procedure. This atlas could play a significant role in educating future clinicians and surgeons and provide answers to anatomically related clinical quandaries. However, the atlas must always be used by first acknowledging its origins and history.

17. Yüzyılda Osmanlı Devleti’nde Kadızâdeliler Sivasîler Arasında Musâfaha-İnhinâ Tartışmaları
Authors: DURMUŞ Ali
Published: August 2021

Bu makale 17. Yüzyılda Osmanlı Devletinde dinî siyasî sebeplerle ortaya çıkan, yaklaşık bir asır boyunca devleti çeşitli yönlerden meşgul eden ve bazı kutuplaşmalara neden olan Kadızâdeliler Hareketi’nin musâfaha ve inhinâ ile ilgili görüşlerini içermektedir. Kadızâde Mehmed Efendi’ye nispetle Kadızâdeliler olarak anılan söz konusu hareket tarih boyunca çeşitli zamanlarda ve coğrafyalarda tartışılan bir takım itikadî, fıkhî ve tasavvufî meseleleri yeniden gündeme taşımıştır. Bu meseleler arasında musâfaha ve inhinâ da bu açıdan dikkat çekmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu noktadan hareketle, çalışmamızın temeli onların bu iki kavram hakkındaki düşünceleri üzerine oluşturulmuştur. Bunun yanı sıra Kadızâdeliler hareketinin ortaya çıkışından itibaren tarihi süreç içerisindeki gelişiminden, hareketi temsil eden liderlerden ve mutasavvıf muhaliflerinden kısaca bahsedilmiştir. Ayrıca Kadızâdelilerden önce, tarih boyunca İslam uleması arasında çeşitli yönlerle tartışılan “musâfaha ve inhinâ” kavramlarının anlamları ele alınmış, ulema ve fukahanın konuyla ilgili lehte ve aleyhte olan görüşleri aktarılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ardından söz konusu iki konuya yer veren Kadızâde Mehmed Efendi, Ahmed Rûmî Akhisârî, Üstuvânî Mehmed Efendi ve Vânî Mehmed Efendi’nin konuyla ilgili görüşleri aktarılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte Kadızadelilerin muhalifleri olan Halvetîlerden konuya dair fikir beyan eden Abdülmecid Sivâsî Efendi’nin düşünceleri de kısaca özetlenmiştir.
ANNE SÜTÜ BANKALARININ İSLÂM HUKUKUNA GÖRE ANALİZİ
Authors: BOZ Mehmet Naim
Published: August 2021

İnsanın varoluşunun sebebi olan aile İslâm’a göre önemli bir yere sahiptir. İslâm sağlıklı bir neslin ve ailenin devamı için bebeklerin ilk iki yıldaki anne sütüyle beslenmeleri üzerinde titizlikle durmakta konunun önemine dikkat çekmektedir. Naslar da belirtilen emzirme, ister bebeğin annesinden ister başka kadınlardan süt emmeye verilen isimdir. Fıtrat (yaratılış) gereği süt emzirme âdeti, naslarla belli ilkelere bağlanmış, böylece süt emzirme âdeti korunmuştur. Öz anne dışındaki kadınlardan emzirmelerin süt kardeşliği oluşturacağını beyan etmiştir. Süt kardeşliği, kan bağı akrabalığı gibi sürekli evlenme yasakları içerisinde kabul edilmektedir. Anne sütü, bebeği çeşitli hastalıklardan koruyan, besin ihtiyaçlarını gideren, Allah (c.c.) tarafından yaratılan üstün nitelikli bir gıdadır. Bu süt normal ve prematüre doğan bebek için hayati önem taşımaktadır. Farklı nedenlerle anne sütünden mahrum kalan bebeklerin bu ihtiyaçlarını telafi etmek için son yıllarda Avrupa’da anne sütü bankaları kurulmaya başlanmıştır. Anne sütü bankalarının kurulması beraberinde birçok hukukî problemler meydana getirmiştir. Mütekaddimîn Fukahâ (İlk dönem İslâm Hukukçuları) süt akrabalığının gerçekleşmesinin şartları ve meydana gelebilecek hukuki sonuçlarını naslar çerçevesinde detaylı incelemiş ve karara bağlamışlardır. Ancak anne sütü bankalarının kurulması ve işleyiş hükmü o dönemlerde böyle bir durum ortaya çıkmadığında konu onlar tarafından ele alınmamıştır. Müteahhirîn Fukahâ (Çağdaş İslâm Hukukçuları) ise bu konuyu ele almış birçok yönüyle incelemiş ve farklı çözümler üretmeye çalışmışlardır.
MUSTAFA LÜTFİ EFENDİ TARAFINDAN SULTAN II. ABDÜLHAMİD’E TAKDİM EDİLEN BİR LAYİHA ÜZERİNE DEĞERLENDİRMELER
Authors: AYDENİZ Tuğba
Published: August 2021

Sultan II. Abdülhamid, Osmanlı Devleti’nin en uzun süreli iktidarda kalan hükümdarlarındandır. Bu uzun süre aynı zamanda siyasi, askeri, idari, iktisadi ve içtimai pek çok meselenin var olduğu bir dönem olmuştur. Padişah bu meselelerin halli için devlet adamlarından kendisine lâyiha takdim etmelerini istemiştir. Kendisinin bu konuda irade çıkardığı bilinmektedir. Bu sebeple çeşitli konularda binlerce lâyiha padişaha sunulmuştur. Bu makalenin konusunu Mustafa Lütfi Efendi tarafından yazılan lâyihalardan birisi teşkil etmektedir. Konu itibariyle geniş bir kapsama sahip olan lâyihada iktisadi konular daha fazla yer tutmaktadır. Bu konudaki başlıkların tamamının ele alınması ise bir makale hacmini aşmaktadır. Bu sebeple makalede toplumsal hayata dair başlıklara ağırlık verilmiştir. Makalenin muhtevası, lâyihanın konularına göre tasnif edilmesi şeklinde değerlendirilmiştir. Lâyihanın 20. yüzyılın henüz başında yazılmış olması dönemin genel bir resmini çekmeyi sağlamıştır. Aynı zamanda İstanbul’un toplumsal hayatına dair bazı değerlendirmeleri yapmaya da imkân vermektedir. Dolayısıyla bu makalede lâyihanın tanıtılması ve tespit edilen konuların değerlendirilerek dikkate sunulması amaçlanmıştır.

В статье приведены результаты лабораторных исследований пропиточного состава для покрытия бетонных дорог. В основе пропиточного состава лежат кератиносодержащие компоненты и водорастворимый полимер. Степень концентрации пропиточного состава в воде определен опытным путем, оценкой водопоглощающей способности бетонных образцов, обработанных водным раствором состава разной консистенции. В качестве оценочного критерия в данной статье представлены результаты влияния предлагаемого состава на сцепление автотранспорта с дорожным покрытием. Испытания проведены методом прямого среза двух сред: резина и бетон. Согласно результатам испытаний, как для полированных и неполированных, так и для мокрых и сухих образцов, снижение сил трения между условным колесом и покрытым составом бетоном несущественное.
OLAĞANÜSTÜ HÂL REJİMİ HUSUSUNDA ANAYASA DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ İHTİYACI
Authors: TEKİN Abdurrahman
Published: August 2021

Olağanüstü dönemler, olağan hukuk normları ile aşılması oldukça zor olan kriz ortamlarıdır. Bu dönemlerde temel hak ve hürriyetler sınırlanabilmekte ve hatta durdurulabilmekte, kuvvetler arasındaki denge yürütme lehine dönerek, diğer organlar bir adım geri çekilmektedir. Yürütme organı, Olağanüstü Hal Kanunu ve Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kararnameleri ile olağan dönemde sahip olmadığı pek çok yetkiyi haiz olabilmektedir. Yürütmeye olağandışı yetkilerin verildiği böylesi kriz ortamlarında tabiri caizse çıkan yangının karşı yangın ile bastırıldığı bir ortam oluşmaktadır.

Rövanşist demokrasinin (iktidarların muhalefete geçmiş hukuksuzluklarının bedelini keyfiliğe kaçabilecek şekilde ödetme gayreti içinde olduğu demokrasi çeşidi) görüldüğü ülkelerde yürütmeye, böylesi kriz ortamlarında sınırları oldukça net ve nispeten daraltılmış yetkiler bahşedilmelidir. Yürütmenin keyfilikten uzak durması için mekanizmalar geliştirilmeli ve yürütmenin artan etkisini dengeleyecek yasama ve yargı kuvveti de mutlaka her daim diri tutulmalıdır. Olağanüstü hal tecrübesi azımsanmayacak derecede fazla olan Türkiye’de, artık neyin eksik olduğu ve tadil edilmesi gerektiği anlaşılmıştır. Anayasal bir reform ile bu eksikliklerin giderilmesi ve olağanüstü hâl yönetiminin yeniden kurgulanması gerekmektedir.
