VADİTTEYM HALKI, KOMŞULARI VE HAÇLI SEFERLERİ
Authors: KARAKUŞ Nadir
Published: December 2023

Akdeniz havzası ile Arap dünyasının kesişim noktasında bir yer olan Vâditteym, tarihten gelen zengin birikimi yanında buraya yapılan zorunlu göçler ile birlikte ırk ve inanç çeşitliliğini de artırmıştır. Mısır’da Fatımî halifesi Hâkim-Biemrillâh zamanında (999-1021) ortaya çıkan Dürzîlik, adı geçen halifeyi ilâhlık makamına çıkardığı ve peygamberlik makamını sorguladığı için kabul görmemiş ve 1021’den sonra da müntesipleri büyük bir katliama tabî tutulmuşlardır. Liderleri Hamza’nın da sığındığı Vâditteym, kadîm geçmişten gelen yerli halkı yanında, şimdi de Dürzîlerle tanışmıştır. Bundan sonra Benû Cendel gibi büyük Dürzî ailelerin kontrolünde olan bölge, çok çeşitli kültür ve inanç mozaiği içinde yaşarken, 1128’de yeni komşuları olan Haşhaşilerle, Haçlılarla ve diğer komşuları ile bir dizi mücadele içine girmişlerdir. Biz bu makalemizde Batınîler, Nizârî İsmailîler ve Haşhaşîleri aynı anlamda kullanacak, diğer yandan Dımaşk Atabegliği’ni ise Böriler ve Tuğteginliler gibi farklı isimlerle anarak dönemin renkli tarihine ışık tutmaya çalışacağız. Haşhaşîlerin Haçlılarla ve Suriye’deki İslâm birliğinin önündeki engel Böriler ile paralel hareket etmesine karşın, Dürzîlerin Franklara karşı bir tavır sergileyip Nureddin Zengî’nin yanında olması ise Haçlı seferlerine farklı bir pencere aralayacaktır.

Authors: Honadi Winston , Johan Jeremy Christo
Published: December 2023

This research’s main purpose is to discover whether psychological and social factors have a significant effect on a person’s attitudes toward advertisement, ultimately affecting their investment decisions. This research utilized GOTO Stockbit’s advertisement and was distributed to the public Indonesian population who has an interest in investment. The research collected a total of 115 samples which were then filtered to only include those who had experience investing to test the possibility of investing in a riskier financial asset. The research results show that psychological factors had no significant effects on attitudes toward advertisements. However, social factor has a significant enough effect on attitudes toward advertisement, as do attitudes toward advertisement toward investment decision. The study results that social factors lead to a positive attitude toward advertisements from securities that motivate individuals to make an investment decision. However, this study’s results show that psychological factors do not lead to any investment decisions by individuals as it has little to no effect on their attitude toward advertisements. This research aims to measure the effectivity of security advertisements on the investment decisions of individuals by adding a new study goal by introducing new hypotheses involving psychological and social factors to add clarity to previous research covering investment decisions. This research hopes that security brokerage can make an effective and optimal advertisement suggested in the research.

Published: December 2023

The city of Lahore has been controlled by several dynasties throughout course of its history but it reaches its apogee of its splendor under the Mughal Empire between the late 16th and early 18th century and served as its capital city for many years. The Mughals were endowed with remarkably taste for constructing magnificent structures. Gulābi Bāgh gateway is one of those monumental structures, built during Mughal Empire. On the facade of Gulābi Bāgh gateway, there are inscriptions in Persian language which have symbolical connotations. The structure is embellished with frescos painting. The internal worn-out walls are decorated with lotus flowers and cypress tree which also have symbolical representations. There is no doubt that Architectural structures are helpful to understand the chronological notions about the situation of city especially gateways which are erected for so many reasons. This paper is an effort to interpret the meanings from the symbolic inscriptions and embellishments carved on the walls of the magnificent piece of art and architecture i.e Gulabi Bagh. In contemporary period the Mughal architecture is one of those remaining structures which are considered as a heritage of Pakistan. This research also highlights the fact that such buildings are ruined by public who torn up their history by the ancestries and are not even conscious of the loss.

Increasing rate of inflation has been one of the most essential problems, especially after period of Covid-19 and Russia Ukraine War, which also tends to increase in the rate of interest rate. Therefore, researcher has particularly analysed the impact of inflation and interest rate on personal finances. Primary quantitative research method has been used using survey questionnaire, and information has been collected from 100 households using convenience sampling. For data analysis, statistical tools (. e. descriptive, reliability, and inferential statistics) were used via using SPSS software. It shows that both male and female from different age group has been participated in the current research. Hence, findings revealed that inflation rate has a negative influence on personal finance, while interest rate has a positive influence on personal finance. Findings in the current research have been primarily focused on primary quantitative research that can be used in secondary studies in future for in-depth analysis. Additionally, consideration of control variables (i.e., income, accessibility to banking institutions, and facilities provided for personal finances) can also be used to avoid biased results.

The art of translation certainly had its origin in the day when people of two different nations needed to communicate to settle mutual relations and trade and only then did interpreters become indispensable. Basically, translation is the need of every nation and language in which the consciousness of the demand for knowledge has awakened. This is the reason why in every period of civilized life the seekers of knowledge went through the stage of translation to enjoy the treasures of knowledge and wisdom of other nations. The stages of translation were not only determined by the demanding knowledge, but those interested in the literature of other languages ​​also benefited from the blessings of translation. Naseem Baloch is an emerging modern translator. His first fiction which he translated was "Dash Akal" which was published in the literary edition of daily "Azad", Lahore in 1978.

Published: December 2023

Women, especially those who are illiterate or pardanashin, are often fall victim to fraudulent practices in property transactions in Pakistan. Despite the Islamic obligations to protect rights of women, they continue to struggle to safeguard their rights and interests. When illiterate or pardanashin women are defrauded, they may turn to the courts for help. However, it is often argued in court that, due to the principle of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware), women should have taken more care during the transactions. Nevertheless, the courts have recognized that Pakistani women still rely on the bonafide of the men around them, such as their brothers, guardians, and husbands. This makes it difficult for women to defend their rights in property transactions. Therefore, it is important to highlight the principles of transactions with pardanashin or illiterate ladies that have been developed by the courts. This research aims to highlight the legal principles and safeguards developed by courts that protect the rights and property of pardanashin or illiterate women. It will also develop recommendations to enhance the protection of their rights and interests in property transactions.
An Introductory Study of Modern Interpretations of the Quran

Published: December 2023

The twentieth century A.D was a very important period for Muslims in Pakistan and India. In the Western world, that universal revolution had reached its culmination, as a result of which modern man, instead of Allah himself, reorganized the whole world of thought and action based on inductive science. The tenets of religion that seemed to contradict the new conception of life were abandoned, and with this state of mind, the Western nations gained political supremacy over the Eastern countries. Doubt, atheism and secularism began to take shape here as well. This was due to the attacks on Islam by Western Christianity and Western-nurtured Orientalism. These attacks on Western thought and Christianity were taking place under the auspices of the imperialist powers. At the same time, these nations were teaching civilization to the eastern nations. Muslim subcontinent was undergoing a process of political and cultural influence. In the field of knowledge, these things affected his intellectual perseverance and resilience in the field of knowledge. A trend of liberalism and reconciliation emerged in the religious literature of the time, represented by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. After the establishment of Pakistan, some people with the same mindset came forward who expressed their commitment and deep connection with the Qur’ān, He wrote many books and published journals to popularize Qur’ānic teachings. He taught Qur’ānic discourses and wrote commentaries, but through the maneuvering, and misinterpretation of the Qur’ānic verses, he developed the structure of an Islam whose features were radically different from the real Islam.

In Christisan theology, the doctrine of Incarnation holds that Jesus, the second hypostasis of the trinity, God the son and son of the father, taking on a human body and human nature was made flesh. Incarnation is a Christian faith which means that God incarnated in Jesus Christ.Christian say that word of God (Kalamatullah) made flesh and Jesus became Christ (Son of God). Kenneth cragg(A renowned Christian scholar on Islam.He wrote more than sixty books, most of them are on Islam)said that the concept of incarnation is also present in Islam, the revelation of the Holy Quran, Prophet-hood of Muhammadﷺ and the Muslims love for Muhammadﷺ is also like incarnation as in Christianity. In this article we discussed the concept of incarnation in Islam and Christianity and concluded that the revelation of theHoly Quran and the Prophet-hood of Muhammad ﷺis not an incarnated as Christian believe about Jesus.
معاشی خود کفالت کا اسلامی تصور

Published: December 2023

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that the best earnings are those earned through one's own efforts. In this regard he cited the example of the Prophet David, who used to earn his livelihood with his own hands. Quran emphasizes the concept of self-sufficiency in the verse: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" (Quran 4:97). Prophet’s companions, including Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), continued his practicing his teacings and deeds. Concept of migration is not solely about physically moving from one place to another; it also encompasses the idea of actively working for one's livelihood. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the best of all creation, engaged in trade to support himself and his family. He set an example for his followers by emphasizing the value of earning a living through honest labor. This paper argues that Islam encourages self-sufficiency and discourages dependency on others, as evidenced by the teachings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions. By adhering to these principles, societies can achieve economic stability and eradicate poverty, ultimately fostering a prosperous and pleasant community.

Zakāt is a financial liability imposed by Sharī’ah (Islamic law) on believers. The legality of such obligation, of course, is derived from several verses of the Holy Qurān and Ḥadīth of the Holy Prophet (SM). Such obligation, in terms of its substance, can be divided, mainly, in currencies and animals.  The latter kind, being a complex one, has been elaborated by Islamic law with minute details. Additionally, head of the state has the responsibility to make necessary arrangements for the management of such financial obligation- ranging from the collection to the division.  Wālī Swat (a famous ruler of Swat), being a head of the Swat State, fulfilled this responsibility in the best possible way. At his time, a very unique system was introduced for the collection of Zakāt (from those individual having Nisāb for the same). The contemporary Sharī’ah scholars have a difference of opinion whether such mechanism, introduced for the collection of Zakat, was entirely based on Sharī’ah or not. The present work, following this question, aims to find out the best possible answer to it.  While doing so, all verdicts, related to the issue under consideration, have been analyzed for the perspective of Islamic law. The work of the classical Muslim jurists (fuqahā) has been citied extensively; while analyzing a verdict. The Hanfī school of thought, however, has been offered more comparatively to other school of thought- owing to the fact that the legal system, prevailing in the regime of Wālī Swat, was, predominantly, based on the principles of the same school. Further, content analysis technique, a kind of qualitative research has been adopted for the investigation of the issue.
Efecto del cambio de uso del suelo sobre el hidrograma de crecida en la microcuenca del cauce 31 de diciembre, Managua
Authors: Blanco-Chávez Miguel Enrique
Published: December 2023

El objetivo del presente estudio es estimar los cambios en el hidrograma de la microcuenca del cauce 31 de Diciembre en la Ciudad de Managua para los escenarios de uso de suelo 2018 y proyección del uso del suelo del año 2040 aplicando un modelo hidrológico. Se utilizó para las simulaciones el Sistema de Modelación Hidrológica (HMS) del Centro de Ingeniería Hidrológica (HEC) de EE.UU. Se realizó la simulación hidrológica para el cauce 31 de Diciembre con alturas de precipitación para los períodos de retorno de 10, 25, 50 y 100 años y el patrón de distribución de la lluvia de la estación Aeropuerto de Managua para los cuartiles uno y dos. Se utilizó el método del Hidrograma Unitario del Servicio de Conservación de Suelos (SCS) para estimar el hidrograma de crecida. Los resultados de las simulaciones indican que podría haber un incremento del 9% en la precipitación efectiva y los caudales máximos de los hidrogramas simulados se incrementarían cerca de 30% como efecto del cambio de uso del suelo en la microcuenca del cauce 31 de Diciembre, los que podrían representar un posible impacto negativo por inundaciones en las zonas bajas de la microcuenca estudiada.

Published: December 2023

Los láser escáneres tienen una configuración para la captura 3D en el cual, para determinada densidad (baja, media y alta) se cuenta con tiempos específicos. Para densidades bajas el tiempo que se puede tardar en realizar una captura de nubes de puntos con RGB es cerca de los 7 minutos. Sin embargo, los tiempos de captura de campo no dependen solamente de la configuración del equipo, sino que es necesario tener en cuenta una serie de factores humanos que intervienen en el trabajo de campo, tales como (a) el seguimiento de una planeación, (b) el tiempo de colocación y ajuste del trípode por estación, (c) la colocación y ajuste de los targets y (d) la nivelación de la estación. Estos factores son aleatorios porque son factores humanos. Entonces, ¿Cuánto puede variar el tiempo de captura de campo considerando las condiciones humanas? El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar el tiempo aproximado de captura por estaciones durante un levantamiento 3D de un edificio con un TLS modelo Leica ScanStation C10. Para estimar el tiempo promedio de levantamiento, se analizaron 3 casos de estudios: Regina 143, Escuela Belisario Domínguez y la Capilla del Museo ExTeresa Arte Actual (CMEAA). Se estimaron medias, medianas y desviaciones estándares de las capturas con resoluciones bajas para nubes de puntos y para RGB. Se encontró que el tiempo medio de captura por estación fue de 12 minutos 30 segundos, con desviaciones estándares de 4 minutos y 36s. El tiempo que tarda la cuadrilla de trabajo de campo en realizar actividades de ajustes, en promedio, es de 2 minutos y 44 segundos. Estos datos son de utilidad para la planeación de proyectos de levantamiento con instrumentos similares.

Published: December 2023

En las últimas dos décadas, las zonas centrales de las ciudades latinoamericanas han experimentado cambios en sus estructuras urbanas mediante la intensa construcción de edificios de grandes alturas. Los cambios ocasionados en el espacio urbano modifican la calidad de vida de los habitantes con la incorporación de nuevos proyectos habitacionales por la pérdida de asoleamiento en las viviendas y en los contextos urbanos. En este escenario nos cuestionamos: ¿cómo la construcción de edificios de gran altura genera cambios en la calidad de vida? El objetivo de esta investigación es explicar los cambios que la construcción de edificios de grandes alturas genera en la calidad de vida mediante la pérdida de asoleamiento en las viviendas y en el espacio urbano. Se determinaron dos colonias como casos de estudio: Del Gas y Ampliación del Gas, en la alcaldía Azcapotzalco. Metodológicamente se analiza la legislación sobre la regeneración urbana y las implicaciones que la permisividad de la verticalización ha generado en la Ciudad de México. Se realiza un estudio de comportamiento térmico en los contextos urbanos adyacentes a los grandes conjuntos de vivienda verticales mediante la utilización de programas de modelaje en tercera dimensión como Sketchup. El resultado físico de la modelización se complementa con entrevistas a los habitantes de las viviendas populares de los contextos adyacentes a los conjuntos residenciales verticales.

Darle un sentido metodológico a los procesos de la enseñanza – aprendizaje en arquitectura es fundamental para la formación tanto del discente como de los docentes, por ello, que en el marco de la investigación titulada: Los Nueve Lenguajes de la Arquitectura, se brinda una caracterización a diversos lenguajes que conforman la arquitectura, es así que en este documento se integra el lenguaje semiótico no como un acto caprichoso ni vano, por el contrario, se busca reconocer la semiótica más allá de un concepto y de la simplicidad de su significado (que para nada es simple), que hace que se infunda un profundo dogma de toda su lógica, uso y desarrollo dentro de la formación del futuro arquitecto y aún más cuando se busca que este se implemente dentro del uso cotidiano durante su vida profesional. De otra parte, al indagar autores y pensadores entorno a la semiología o semiótica en arquitectura, se evidencia una inmersión por parte de profesionales de otras disciplinas, quienes presentan un amplio conocimiento; impactando a aquellos investigadores que se involucran en esta temática ortodoxa en la fundamentación de la arquitectura. La metodología de este ensayo, parte de una investigación central titulada: Los Nueve Lenguajes de la Arquitectura, en este sentido, se define un enfoque cualitativo-descriptivo, que a través de la recolección y análisis de datos (no numéricos) para explorar significados e interpretaciones. Este ensayo no es concluyente en el uso del término semiología o semiótica, pero da pautas en el uso y su generalidad dentro del acervo arquitectónico.
BİR İDEAL KENT MODELİ OLARAK 20 YY.KENT ÜTOPYASI ÖZELLİKLERİ İLE GELECEĞİN KENTLERİNİ HAYAL ETME
Authors: KAYA Eda
Published: December 2023

20. yüzyıl, insanlık için büyük dönüşümlerin yaşandığı bir dönem olmuştur. Hızlı endüstrileşme, teknolojik ilerlemeler, toplumsal değişimler, kentleşme sürecini hızlandırmış olup, dünya genelinde kentsel alanlarda yoğun nüfus artışlarına yol açarak birçok sorunu da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu sorunlardan ilki, planlama ve altyapı eksikliklerinin neden olduğu çevresel bozulma, yaşam kalitesinin düşmesi olarak bilinmektedir. Bu bağlamda, 20. yüzyılın ortalarından itibaren, ideal bir kent modeli oluşturma fikri önem kazanmıştır. İdeal bir kent modeli oluşturma fikri, daha sağlıklı, sürdürülebilir, adil, yaşanabilir bir çevrede insanların yaşamasını amaçlayan bir ‘‘kent ütopyası’’ oluşturmayı hedeflemiştir. Bu çalışma, 20. yüzyıl kent ütopyalarının özelliklerini ve ideal kent modeli için özelliklerini incelemeyi, günümüzde uygulanabilirliği, başarıları, sınırlamalarını da ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. İdeal bir kent modeline dair farklı perspektifler sunmanın yanı sıra, geçmişten günümüze kentsel planlama anlayışının nasıl değiştiğini, kentlerin geleceğine nasıl yansıdığını anlamamıza yardımcı olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, 20. yüzyılın sanayileşme sürecinde ortaya çıkan kent ütopyaları olarak bilinen kent modeli önerilerini ele alarak, ABD, İngiltere, Fransa’da ortaya atılan kent ütopya modellerini incelemektedir. Her üç ülkede de farklı kent ütopyaları önerilmiştir, ancak amaçları genel olarak kent yaşamını daha iyi hale getirerek iyileştirmektir. Bu üç önemli kent plancısı, Howard, F. L. Wright ve Le Corbusier, kendi tasarımlarında farklı yaklaşımlar benimsemişlerdir. Bu kent modelleri, literatür taraması yoluyla araştırılmış olup, üç farklı kent modelinin benzerliklerini, farklılıklarını ortaya koyarak bu modellerin ne ölçüde uygulanabilir olduğunu, insan sağlığı ve yaşamı açısından ne kadar uygun olduğunu tartışmaktadır.

Os reservatórios hídricos além de serem importantes para a produção de energia elétrica, são recursos para outras necessidades da população. Imagens de sensores orbitais são aplicadas para complementar o monitoramento desses ambientes e assim suprir a deficiência  de cobertura espacial e temporal das técnicas tradicionais. No entanto estudos envolvendo análises volumétricas de corpos d’água ainda são um grande desafio devido  ao baixo sinal proveniente do corpo d’água e a interferência de fatores externos (ou fatores ambientais). Procedimentos de correção/melhoramento das imagens são propostos com frequencia, principalmente  para a redução da interferencia atmosférica. Nesse estudo foram avaliadas as melhores técnicas de correção atmosférica disponíveis comercialmente no intuito de indicar aquela técnica que mais se aproxima da resposta espectral de sensoriamento remoto obtida em campo (referência). No decorrer do estudo foram aplicados seis algoritmos de correção atmosférica (FLAASH, Second simulation of a Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum (6S), L8SR, Aquatic Reflectance (USGS), ACOLITE e Sen2Cor) que, a partir das análises estatísticas de análise discriminante e covariância apontaram os aplicativos 6S para imagens Landsat e Sentinel e o Acolite para imagens Landsat como os mais acurados. Embora o 6S tenha apresentado resposta próxima dos dados de referencia, observou-se baixa variabilidade na resposta espectral. Para séries temporais, o Acolite apresentou maior capacidade de correção dos dados. O tipo de aplicação também é um fator preponderante, pois ficou evidente que o uso de series temporais indicou uma técnica de correção atmosférica diferente quando comparado com a análise das cenas de forma individual.
REVISÃO DOS ASPECTOS TEÓRICOS E METODOLÓGICOS DA INTERCEPTAÇÃO DA CONDENSAÇÃO ATMOSFÉRICA
Authors: Lange Daniel Ribeiro , Santos Irani Dos
Published: December 2023

A interceptação da condensação atmosférica (ICA) ocorre quando a água contida em nevoeiros e precipitações movidas pelo vento, colide com a vegetação, se funde em gotas maiores, e precipita no solo. A ICA tem importante função como fonte adicional de água e suas relações com a florestas nebulares tropicais foram muitas vezes enfatizadas. Apesar de sua importância, não há padronização dos métodos de medição, nem dos termos que designam o processo. Fazendo-se assim necessária uma análise sistemática das pesquisas sobre ICA. Para isso, o presente estudo realizou uma revisão dos aspectos teóricos e metodológicos da ICA por meio da: descrição e análise sobre a terminologia; histórico e cronologia dos estudos sobre o tema; levantamento das condições ambientais necessárias para a ocorrência do processo de ICA; análise dos aspectos metodológicos relativos à medição da ICA; síntese e discussão das magnitudes descritas na literatura científica. Como resultado: das 31 publicações revisadas foram encontrados 14 diferentes vocábulos. Sendo os mais comuns “Cloud Water Interception” (19,4%) e “Fog drip” (16,1%); em geral a ICA é mais frequente em locais como bordas continentais e ilhas constantemente sujeitas a brisas marítimas; na maioria dos casos, a abordagem para a medição abaixo do dossel, pode ser considerada mais precisa que as obtidas por coletores de nevoeiros; a ICA é em média responsável por 42% da precipitação efetiva (n:41). Os valores listados apresentam grande variação, entre 0,5 % e 462%, provavelmente decorrente das distintas características ambientais dos locais amostrados assim como das variações nos tamanhos das amostras.
Espiritualidade e saúde mental em tempos de pandemia pelo COVID-19: um estudo teórico.
Authors: Jordán Arturo De Pádua Walfrido , Cardozo Moara Maria Silva , Magalhães Maria Valéria de Oliveira Correia
Published: December 2023

A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) declarou em março de 2020 um estado de pandemia relacionada ao COVID-19. A partir desta declaração as autoridades sanitárias passaram a recomendar mudanças em hábitos para conter a disseminação deste agravo, dentre estes, o isolamento e distanciamento social. Neste sentido, medo, ansiedade e estresse como transtornos em saúde mental aumentaram de forma significativa em todo mundo. Sabe-se que uma das formas de combater ou ressignificar tais processos pode ser alcançada mediante o reconhecimento e prática da espiritualidade, enquanto parte importante da visão do ser integral. Tais práticas melhoram o enfrentamento, visto que proporcionam resiliência e transformação, permitindo aos envolvidos o aproveitamento destes desafios para crescer, aprender e transformar. Como estratégias para este processo, o indivíduo pode buscar apreciar a natureza e as pequenas coisas, realizar reflexões capazes de facilitar as construções ou reconstruções cognitivas, valorizar e praticar o apoio social e promover a compaixão, para enfim fomentar a resiliência. Neste sentido, dois anos após o início da pandemia da Covid-19 o debate de seu impacto permanece necessário, incluindo as relações com a saúde física, mental e espiritual.
O nascimento das automutilações como categoria nosográfica
Authors: Cidade Natália De Oliveira de Paula
Published: December 2023

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar o fenômeno das automutilações, trazendo à luz a complexidade desse campo de estudos e visando apresentar a construção de uma categoria nosográfica para as automutilações. Elas se caracterizam pelo ato de ferir o próprio corpo voluntariamente, sem intenção consciente de morte, e podem se apresentar de diversas formas, configurando diferentes tipos de comportamentos. Partindo das discussões existentes na literatura sobre o fenômeno, inicialmente circunscritas à psiquiatria e, posteriormente apropriadas pela psicanálise, apresentamos um percurso histórico do conceito, contextualizando suas aparições em diferentes cenas e formas psicopatológicas. Buscamos ainda fomentar uma discussão acerca do estatuto do fenômeno automutilatório: trata-se apenas de um sintoma, prevalente em diferentes quadros clínicos, ou estaríamos falando de uma síndrome, entidade clínica diferenciada que afunila e congrega outros comportamentos? Nesse cenário, destacamos o caráter transnosográfico das automutilações, uma vez que o fenômeno perpassa diversos quadros clínicos na forma de sintoma, ao mesmo tempo em que começa a se configurar como uma entidade nosográfica separada de outras doenças.
Pressupostos e procedimentos de investigação às margens da psicanálise e filosofia: questões acerca de método

Published: December 2023

Neste este artigo focalizamos a modalidade de relação que o pesquisador engendra com o seu campo de investigação — o campo das experiências humanas — a fim de delinear um pensamento que possa funcionar como horizonte dos procedimentos metodológicos utilizados nas pesquisas stricto sensu conduzidas em nosso grupo. Trata-se de pôr em questão o par sujeito-objeto, de modo a transpassar o realismo científico e os meros construtivimos. Trazemos para nossa argumentação um panorama genealógico da noção de sujeito para chegar ao deslocamento de sua posição perante os objetos produzido por Kant (1787/1974). Em solo kantiano — e permitindo-nos arriscar além dele — parece-nos legítimo semear a ideia de que as investigações por nós conduzidas, do recorte das experiências humanas considerado, podem ter como alvo a circunscrição da potência da coisa (do material, da exterioridade, do objeto, como quer que a designemos) de afetar o pesquisador. E, com certo atrevimento, apostamos na noção de campo transferencial como referência ao que precede e acompanha a captura e o registro da potência de afetar da coisa, esta necessariamente pertencente à esfera do não-antecipável, porquanto da ordem do acontecimento. Propomos como condição e consequência de nossa posição epistemológica a construção de cenas-acontecimento como forma de apresentação dos resultados da pesquisa.

Authors: Felix Lourival Souza
Published: December 2023

Este artigo objetiva analisar aproximações acerca da construção da concepção de democracia no Brasil a partir do final da década de 1970 em meio ao contexto de redemocratização do Estado brasileiro. São criadas várias organizações dos trabalhadores, o destaque é para o Partido dos Trabalhadores - PT. Justifica-se a necessidade de apresentar dois elementos fundamentais do contexto econômico e político do país: o Partido dos Trabalhadores – PT e o neoliberalismo.

Published: December 2023

A construção deste estudo é parte integrante das atividades que mobilizam as competências de formação em pós-graduação: A Questão Social pela Perspectiva Interdisciplinar na Universidade Federal do Paraná – Setor Litoral. O Processo pela escolha da temática é a busca pelo aprofundamento da compreensão sobre o ideário neoliberal e o aumento da desigualdade social e da pobreza no período de pandemia da COVID-19, decretada pelos órgãos competentes a partir de março de 2020. Portanto, esse artigo tem como objetivo contextualizar historicamente as particularidades da desigualdade social e da pobreza no Brasil, analisando as conexões econômicas, políticas e culturais que determinaram a persistência dos altos índices de desigualdade e pobreza no país, acirrados pela emergência da pragmática neoliberal na década de 1990. Realizamos uma pesquisa teórico-analítica, com a busca bibliográfica, documental e em legislações para a compreensão da pandemia da COVID-19 em escala mundial e as particularidades no Brasil e posterior análise de conjuntura do desenvolvimento capitalista no país. Por fim, apresentamos indicadores sobre a pobreza, baseando-nos em estatísticas de órgãos de pesquisa oficiais como IBGE, MADE Centro de Pesquisas e outros. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que o enfrentamento da pandemia no Brasil tem sido insuficiente para o atendimento satisfatório da população.

Authors: SARMAN Abdullah , TUNCAY Suat
Published: December 2023

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the attitudes of nurses towards the use of T&CM practices in children.

Material-Method: This study was designed in a cross-sectional-comparative descriptive design. The study fieldwork was conducted between May and August 2023. Nurses working in a hospital providing secondary health care in eastern Turkey were included in the study. Demographic data of nurses and their attitudes towards holistic complementary and alternative medicine were analysed.

Results: It was determined that the mean age of the participants was 33.92 years and 69% of them worked in a state hospital. It was also found that 25.4% of the nurses had used T&CM before, and the most used T&CM method was cupping or leeching with 38.5%. Of those who participated in the study and had previously used T&CM practices, 63.5% reported that they recovered with these practices and 84.6% reported that they recommended the method they used to others. It was determined that 51% of the nurses thought that T&CM practices could be used in children and the most common T&CM method that was thought to be used in children was homeopathy with 50.7%.

Conclusion: It was determined that pediatric nurses had a more positive attitude towards T&CM. It was observed that nurses thought that T&CM interventions could be used safely in the treatment of children. Since information about T&CM is obtained from newspapers, magazines, or media programmes, it is thought that integrating T&CM into nursing education curricula may be effective in raising awareness.
‘Every ending requires us to begin anew’: Endings and beginnings in supervisory relationships
Authors: McBay Caoimhe , Wariebi Nicole , Chinnéide Emma Ní , Douglas Marsha , Shaldon Chris
Published: December 2023

Aim(s)

Supervision has been characterised as a ‘signature pedagogy’ in the helping professions and an integral component of pre-service training for applied psychologists. Regulatory and professional standards for trainee and qualified Educational Psychologists (EPs) emphasise engagement in supervision as part of our discipline’s orientation towards learning and growth, as well as in enhancing safety and effectiveness for service users. This paper aims to provide a reflective account of evaluation and endings in supervisory relationships.

Method/Rationale

There is an increasing interest in the place of supervision as a core component of lifelong professional learning and development. In contrast to beginnings, the evaluation and ending of supervisory relationships (SR) have received less attention in the literature and can be left unattended to in practice. This may reflect some uncomfortable feelings associated with giving and receiving feedback within professional relationships, as well as the multiple meanings endings may have for supervisee and supervisor. The Relational Model of Supervision for Applied Psychology Practice (RMSAPP) and associated supervisory process in evaluation and endings may support practice in this area. This paper outlines the model’s framework for evaluation and ending, and a reflective account of the ending and beginning of supervisory relationships is provided. The supervisee provided feedback on the SR to the original supervisor and this informed the ending made in that supervisory dyad. The supervisee then established a new SR with a different supervisor and the paper’s reflective accounts are from three perspectives: the supervisee, the former and new supervisors.

Findings

A critically reflective account of evaluating, ending and new beginnings between a supervisee and two different supervisors is offered, with attention paid to the power differentials between supervisee and supervisors. The account illustrates some of the meanings made of evaluation, endings and beginnings. The benefits of the approach are highlighted, and some tentative ideas about how further developments could be made included.

Limitations

The meanings derived from the authors’ experiential learning arose within particular SRs and are unique to these relationships.

Conclusions

There are opportunities for development of reflective EP practice in this area, and for further research. The reflective accounts provided may be a stimulus for further reflection on personal and professional development of supervisory practice.

Ceritinib is an anti-cancer of drug used in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. A high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method has been developed for ceritinib, which is stability indicating and simple, precise, and discriminating. The stationary phase used was aluminum-backed silica gel60 F254 plates with chloroform: methanol: glacial acetic acid as the mobile phase in the ratio of 8.5:1.5:0.5 (V/V/V). The retention factor was found to be 0.34 ± 0.02. The densitometric scanning was performed at 277 nm. The linear range for analysis was 100–600 ng band-1, which gave good linear relationship with regression coefficient of 0.998. Method accuracy was proved by the recovery studies. The detection limit and quantification limit were 7.38 and 10.03 ng band-1, respectively. Stress degradation studies like hydrolysis under different pH conditions, photolytic, thermal, and oxidative degradation were carried out as per ICH Q1A (R2) and Q1B guidelines. The method established was found to be robust, and thus it can be used as a stability-indicating method.

Hygrophila auriculata is a traditional herb used for several ailments, with an unclear mechanism of action. The present study aimed to detect its efficacy on nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats followed by network pharmacology analysis to explain its mechanism of action. 24 rats were divided into 4 groups (n=6). After baseline blood investigations, group 1 was treated with normal saline on 13th day, groups 2-4 with carboplatin, groups 3, 4 with different strengths of H. auriculata (day 15 to 30). The active components along with targets of H. auriculata were screened and overall network was created using Cytoscape software. We made preliminary predictions about the major active components, targets along with signalling pathways of H. auriculata to treat carboplatin induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, which could pave way for clinical application of H. auriculata against carboplatin induced toxicities.

The current research aims to develop and test a system of vesicular drug carriers for topical drug administration of Vitex negundo Linn. to provide sustained drug delivery. The ethosomes of V. negundo Linn. were produced using thin-film hydration, and their in vitro drug release profiles, size, drug content, and other characteristics were examined. To attain the desired results, for drug release and entrapment effectiveness, the composition of lecithin and ethanol was changed to form ethosomes. The ethosomal size of the vesicle of the optimized formulation batch was measured to be the units 13.47 nm with -3.97 mV as zeta potential. The percent drug release of ethosomal gel was 83.24 %, and the percent entrapment efficiency was 89.40 %. The formation of spherically shaped vesicles was confirmed by optical and scanning electron microscopy observations. It was observed that as the ethanol concentration increased, the formulation’s in vitro profile for drug release increase, and lipid concentration decreases.
