Investigating Time Dependent Stress Changes Globally Following Large Earthquakes (M≥7)
Authors: Sunbul Fatih
Published: April 2021

Triggered earthquakes can cause disproportionate damages depend on their magnitudes. In fact, there is a causal link between the spatial distribution of those events and the stress changes induced by the mainshock. Co-seismic stress loading is one of the key factors in determination of triggering mechanism. However, the time lags ranging hours to years and the stress diffusion over wider areas cannot be evaluated with the co-seismic process alone. In some cases, the stress interactions for long periods and larger areas can be attributed to post-seismic viscoelastic relaxations. In this study, M≥7 earthquakes from the Global Centroid Moment Tensor (GMCT) catalogue are modelled as dislocations to calculate shear stress changes on following earthquake nodal planes near enough to be triggered. The catalogue scanned for all other events (4.5<M<7) that occurred within ±2° from the centroid rupture planes. According to Omori law, which is one of the most reliable time predictable diagram of aftershock distributions, 10-year periods were used for the stress calculations. The events that had computed within ±0.01 to ±1 MPa stress change limits, considered as potential triggered events. The global co-seismic stress calculations show that 60.6% of the triggered events occurred in regions where the shear stress increased. The global stress change by incorporation viscous flow into co-seismic stress change were also tested. In this case, an increase in the rate of triggered events in both positive (15%) and negative (9%) shear stress areas were obtained. Despite the rate of triggered events has climbed significantly in both areas, only 2% of the changes have been computed globally. These rates are highly depending on fault mechanism across the plate boundaries. Thrust faults in the catalogue, for example, influence the stress distribution over broader regions and the dimension of fault ruptures. Therefore, thrust faults in the catalogue prevails the global statistics for both co-seismic and viscoelastic stress calculations. The results also demonstrate the significant effect of viscous flow, following large earthquakes, which cannot be neglected in stress interaction analysis.

Проведено когортное ретроспективное исследование эффективности врачебных назначений в рамках превентивной химиотерапии туберкулезной инфекции у детей из контакта с больным туберкулезом с бактериовыделением и без бактериовыделения с целью оптимизации режимов превентивной химиотерапии. Установлено, что для превентивной химиотерапии детей чаще используется сочетание изониазида с пиразинамидом, реже назначается один изониазид в течение 3 или 6 месяцев. Статистически не подтверждены преимущества двухкомпонентного режима превентивной химиотерапии по эффективности перед однокомпонентным в обеих группах наблюдения. По результатам иммунодиагностики с АТР превентивная химиотерапия детей из контакта с бактериовыделителем была менее эффективной, по сравнению с детьми из контакта без бактериовыделения (на 23,2 % при назначении одного изониазида и на 12,9 % при назначении изониазида с пиразинамидом, p < 0,05). У 4,3 % детей из контакта с бактериовыделителем химиопрофилактика оказалась неэффективной, они заболели первичным туберкулезом. Ключевую роль в этом могла сыграть широкая лекарственная устойчивость микобактерий туберкулеза у бактериовыделителя. Это свидетельствует о необходимости индивидуального подхода к превентивной химиотерапии детей из контакта с бактериовыделителем с учетом возможной множественной или широкой лекарственной устойчивости возбудителя.

Published: April 2021

In the general complex of antibrucellosis measures, specific prevention of the disease occupies an important place. The first experiments on vaccination of animals against brucellosis were carried out in the early 20th century. Experiments have shown that even a single subcutaneous vaccination with a live virulent culture 2 months before fertilization in 90% of cases protects animals from subsequent infection and abortion. Of all the brucellosis vaccines used in different countries, the most widespread is the vaccine from the B. abortus 19 strain, which is used to prevent brucellosis in all farm animals. When studying the dispersal and survival of brucella of the vaccine strain in the body of animals vaccinated with different doses of the vaccine, it proceeded similarly, without significant difference (P>0,05). The infection index in heifers vaccinated with a small dose 1 month after vaccination was 60±2, and in heifers vaccinated with a full dose - 74±4. Two months after vaccination, the infection index was 44±16 and 44±4, respectively. 2 months after vaccination, the total number of isolated cultures was 21% less than in the study 1 month after vaccination. According to the total data, 38.5% of cultures were sown from the pharyngeal and prescapular lymph nodes of heifers vaccinated with a small dose 1 month after vaccination, and 20% after 2 months. In heifers vaccinated with a full dose, 28.1% and 26.9%, respectively. Thus, the results of the experiment showed that the dispersibility and survival rate of brucella vaccine strain B. abortus 19 in the body of heifers slightly depends on the dose of the vaccine, which is consistent with the data obtained by us in the experiment on guinea pigs, as well as with the data of other authors.
Tuberculins for mammals, stability of biological properties of old Koch altuber-culin (Germany) after long-term storage
Authors: Najmanov A.H. , Мyasoedov Yu.M.
Published: April 2021

The allergic method is the main one in the diagnosis of mycobacterial infections in humans and animals. Allergic diagnosis of mycobacterial infections is carried out us-ing tuberculin. Tuberculin was developed over a hundred years ago by the German microbiologist Robert Koch. The diagnostic properties of tuberculin have been studied in detail. This made it possible to develop various methods of using tuberculin in a clinical setting. In addition, tuberculin is still used in the study of the fundamental mechanisms of immunity. Until now, tuberculin is a valuable diagnostic tool. However, the stability of tu-berculin over a long period of time has not been studied. The article provides a historical overview of the manufacture and use of various types of tuberculins for mammals, as well as the results of our own research. Purpose of the study: to study the stability of the biological properties of altuberculin for mammals (Germany) after long-term storage. The study of stability was carried out according to the following parameters: activity, specificity, reactogenicity. The activity was studied in guinea pigs sensitized with M. bovis mycobacteria. The specificity was investigated in guinea pigs sensitized with M. avium mycobacteria. Reactogenicity was studied in non-sensitized guinea pigs. As a result of the research, it was found that alttuberculin for mammals is characterized by biological activity at the level of 8000 IU in accordance with the current active standard of activity (the value of biological activity should correspond to the range of 6600 IU - 15000 IU). Altuberculin is characterized by a low specificity at the level of 41% (the specificity value should not be more than 10%). Alttuberculin, in accordance with modern requirements for the quality of purified tuberculins, is characterized by a high level of reactogenicity (the value of reactogenicity is expressed in the development of inflammation, the size of which should not exceed 5 mm). Thus, Alttuberculin for mammals maintains the stability of biological properties with a shelf life of more than 70 years. A comparative analysis of the quality indicators of alttuberculin and purified tuberculin PPD indicates the preference of using the purified form of the allergen when conducting diagnostic studies of animals for tuberculosis.

Real-time Momentary Mood as a Predictor of College Students’ Prescription Drug Misuse in Daily Life: Direct Links and the Moderating Role of Background Mental Health
Authors: Papp Lauren , Kouros Chrystyna D , Curtin John Joseph , Blumenstock Shari M.
Published: April 2021

The present study addressed calls for research to identify real-time predictors of prescription drug misuse (Schepis et al., 2020) by testing young adults’ momentary reports of their negative mood and positive mood as predictors of event-level misuse in daily life. We implemented a 28-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) procedure that collected individuals’ mood and other contextual experiences in moments preceding prescription drug misuse. Consistent with models of problematic substance use as a means to reduce negativity (Khantzian, 1997), results from hierarchical generalized linear modeling indicated within-person links between higher than usual negative mood and greater likelihood of prescription misuse in daily life. Contrary to the hypothesis, misuse was also more likely when preceded by elevated positive mood. We found consistent support for the hypothesized between-person effects, with prescription misuse in daily life associated with higher average levels of negative mood, and lower average levels of positive mood, across the reporting period. We further predicted that individuals reporting greater levels of social anxiety, depression, and externalizing symptoms would evidence stronger links between their momentary negative mood and prescription misuse. Partial support for this moderation hypothesis was found, with the positive within-person link between negative mood and prescription misuse significantly stronger among individuals higher (vs. lower) on social anxiety and depression. Results provide support for intricate connections between young adults’ momentary mood, mental health symptoms, and prescription drug misuse.

A Multinomial Processing Tree Model of RC Attachment
Authors: Logacev Pavel , Dokudan Noyan
Published: April 2021

In the field of sentence processing, speakers’ preferred interpretation of ambiguous sentences is often determined using a variant of a discrete choice task, in which participants are asked to indicate their preferred meaning of an ambiguous sentence. We discuss participants’ degree of attentiveness as a potential source of bias and variability in such tasks.We show that it may distort the estimates of the preference of a particular interpretation obtained in such experiments and may thus complicate the interpretation of the results as well as the comparison of the results of several experiments. We propose an analysis method based on multinomial processing tree models (Batchelder and Riefer, 1999) which can correct for this bias and allows for a separation of parameters of theoretical importance from nuisance parameters. We test two variants of the MPT-based model on experimental data from English and Turkish and demonstrate that our method can provide deeper insight into the processes underlying participants’ answering behavior and their interpretation preferences than analyses based on raw percentages.

Typologies organize knowledge and advance theory for many scientific disciplines, including more recently in psychological science. However, no typology exists to categorize use of emotion regulation strategies. This is surprising given emotion regulation skills are used daily and are robustly linked with mental health symptoms. We attempted to identify and validate a working typology of emotion regulation across six samples (Total N = 1492, from multiple populations) by using several computational techniques. We uncovered evidence for three types of regulators: an infrequently regulating type (Lo), a frequently regulating type (Hi), and a third type (Mix) that selectively titrates strategy usage. Individuals in the Mix type exhibited the most adaptive mental health symptoms. These differences were stable over time and across different samples. These results are important for basic understanding of emotion regulation and for informing future interventions aimed at improving mental health.

Published: April 2021

Background: Efforts to increase the implementation of evidence-based interventions come at a time of rising inequality and cuts to public mental health funding. Clinicians in publicly funded mental health clinics face increased demands, work long hours, experience financial stress, and treat clinically severe, under-resourced patients. A detailed understanding of clinicians' economic precarity, financial strain, and job-related stressors, and an understanding of how these factors relate to treatment delivery, is needed. Methods: In July 2020, we surveyed 49 clinicians working in Philadelphia’s public mental health system who participated in a large-scale trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) training initiative. Respondents reported on professional burnout, economic precarity, financial strain, secondary traumatic stress, and self-reported use of TF-CBT. We examined associations between clinicians’ economic precarity, job-related stressors, and their TF-CBT use with mixed models. We used content coding to organize open-ended responses into themes.Results: Economic precarity, financial strain, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress among respondents was high. Thirty-seven percent of clinicians were independent contractors, and of those, 44% reported desiring a salaried position. Most clinicians (76%) had outstanding education loans, and of those, 38% reported over $100,000 in education debt. In the last year, 29% of clinicians went without personal mental healthcare due to cost. Most clinicians (73%) endorsed at least one symptom of secondary traumatic stress, with 22% scoring above the clinical cutoff. Education debt was negatively associated with TF-CBT use (p<0.001). Secondary traumatic stress, measured continuously and categorically, was associated with burnout (ps<0.05).Discussion: Clinicians in Philadelphia’s public mental health system experience burnout, economic precarity, financial strain, and secondary traumatic stress, which were associated with TF-CBT use. The economic strain and stress of providing care in under-resourced clinical settings may interfere with ongoing efforts to integrate scientific evidence into mental health services. Financial investment in the mental health workforce is essential.
Do perceived control and time orientation mediate the effect of early life adversity on reproductive behaviour and health status? Insights from the European Value Study and the European Social Survey.
Authors: Farkas Bence Csaba , Chambon Valérian , Jacquet Pierre O.
Published: April 2021

An association between early life adversity and a range of coordinated behavioural responses that favour reproduction at the cost of a degraded health is often reported in humans. Recent theoretical works have proposed that perceived control – i.e., people’s belief that they are in control of external events that affect their lives – and time orientation – i.e., their tendency to live on a day-to-day basis or to plan for the future – are two closely related psychological traits mediating the associations between early life adversity, reproductive behaviours and health status. However, the empirical validity of this hypothesis remains to be demonstrated. In the present study, we examine the role of perceived control and time orientation in mediating the effects of early life adversity on a trade-off between reproductive traits (age at 1st childbirth, number of children) and health status by applying a cross-validated structural equation model frame on two large public survey datasets, the European Values Study (EVS, final N = 43 084) and the European Social Survey (ESS, final N = 31 065). Our results show that early life adversity, perceived control and time orientation are all associated with a trade-off favouring reproduction over health. However, perceived control and time orientation mediate only a small portion of the effect of early life adversity on the reproduction-health trade-off.
Individual differences in the delay-reward heuristic: An exploratory study of socioeconomic status, subjective status, and personal relative deprivation
Authors: Begaj Dea , Skylark William John
Published: April 2021

Recent research has examined the role of inference in intertemporal choice: when a future financial reward is ambiguous, people's inferences about its value depend upon the delay until its delivery, and inferences about ambiguous delays depend upon the size of the stated reward. Here we report an exploratory study of individual differences in this \textit{delay-reward heuristic} by examining whether people's inferences about ambiguous future rewards correlate with objective and subjective indicators of socio-economic status: annual household income, education, self-placement in a national hierarchy of social status (SSS), and self-reported personal relative deprivation (PRD). Participants were presented with a hypothetical choice between receiving £10 now and an ambiguous reward in 1 year's time, and had to infer the missing value. In multiple regression analyses, age and household income emerged as unique predictors that were negatively associated with (log-transformed) estimates, although the effect of income became unreliable when this variable was log-transformed; the effects of SSS and PRD were not reliably different from zero. When participants were subsequently asked to assume that their inferences of the missing value were correct and choose between the immediate and delayed option, larger estimates were positively associated with greater willingness to wait; choices were also predicted by age, income and SSS although the latter two effects were not unambiguously non-zero, and in multiple regression analysis only participants' estimates of the reward emerged as a reliable predictor of preference. Taken together, these results support previous work suggesting that age is a meaningful predictor of inferences about ambiguous rewards and delays, and provide initial evidence that such inferences may also be associated with income.

Published: April 2021

The Scrambled Sentences Task (SST) is frequently used to assess interpretation biases(IBs). However, neither the range of its applications nor the quality of the empirical evidence itprovides has been systematically examined. This systematic review investigates the types ofsamples and disorders in which the SST has been applied and evaluates its psychometricproperties via a meta-analysis. The databases PubMed and EBSCOhost (including PsycINFO,PsycARTICLES, PSYNDEX, MEDLINE) were examined (last search: September 2021) and 93studies from 91 manuscripts were included. Results showed that the SST has been appliedpredominantly in unselected samples or those with elevated levels of subsyndromal symptoms,with about a third of the studies employing the SST in a clinical population. While the SST wasinitially developed to assess depression-related IBs, it has now been extended to other disorders,in particular anxiety disorders. Results of the meta-analyses indicated good convergent validityand reliability across disorders, albeit in the context of substantial heterogeneity. Findingsconcerning divergent validity were mixed with high correlations across disorders between theSST and trait anxiety in particular, questioning its specificity. Future research should considerdeveloping standardized SST versions and investigating its relationships with other measures ofIB.

Evaluating Eight-Year Trajectories for Sense of Purpose in the Health and Retirement Study
Authors: Hill Patrick , Weston Sara J
Published: April 2021

Objectives: Though cross-sectional research has suggested that sense of purpose declines intoolder adulthood, it remains unclear whether inter-individual variability occurs in these trajectories, and what factors predict these trajectories. The current study provides one of the first longitudinal investigations into how individuals’ sense of purpose fluctuates in older adulthood. Method: Participants from the Health and Retirement Study (n = 4,234, mean age = 65 years), completed assessments of sense of purpose over three years, along with multiple potential predictors (health, personality, demographics) at the start.Results: Second-order latent growth models demonstrated both mean-level declines on purpose over time, as well as the capacity for inter-individual variability in change patterns for retired adults. Among this cohort, health status, educational attainment, and marital status were significant predictors of purpose trajectories over time, though broad personality trait dimensions failed to uniquely predict change in sense of purpose. However, measurement invariance tests suggest that the scale did not operate similarly across work status groups.Conclusion: Findings advance the previous literature by demonstrating inter-individual variability in sense of purpose for those participants who had retired. Future research should consider that purpose inventories may operate differently for those in the workplace versus retired adults.

Analysis of Micro Facial Expression by Machine and Deep Learning Methods: Haar, CNN, and RNN
Authors: Pant Dibakar Raj , Sthapit Rolisha
Published: April 2021

Facial expressions are due to the actions of the facial muscles located at different facial regions. These expressions are two types: Macro and Micro expressions. The second one is more important in computer vision. Analysis of micro expressions categorized by disgust, happiness, anger, sadness, surprise, contempt, and fear are challenging because of very fast and subtle facial movements. This article presents one machine learning method: Haar and two deep learning methods: Convolution Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to perform recognition of micro-facial expression analysis. First, Haar Cascade Classifier is used to detect the face as a pre-image-processing step. Secondly, those detected faces are passed through series of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layers for the features extraction. Thirdly, the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) classifies micro facial expressions. Two types of data sets are used for training and testing of the proposed method: Chinese Academy of Sciences Micro-Expression II (CSAME II) and Spontaneous Actions and Micro-Movements (SAMM) database. The test accuracy of SAMM and CASME II are obtained as 84.76%, and 87% respectively. In addition, the distinction between micro facial expressions and non- micro facial expressions are analyzed by the ROC curve.
A Mathematical Study of Effect of Humidity on Human Skin Temperature at Warm Environment
Authors: Subedi Shiva Hari
Published: April 2021

The ability of the human body to regulate its heat exchange depends on various environmental factors together with its ability to exchange heat in in-vivo tissue. The environmental factor humidity plays a crucial role in heat regulation within the human body. The heat regulation within in-vivo tissue constitutes temperature regulation in the layers of the dermal part to maintain body core temperature constant. The purpose of this article is to develop a mathematical model to study the effect of humidity on temperature regulation within the human body. The model has been developed for one dimensional steady state flow of heat in human dermal parts with appropriate boundary conditions containing the factors of effect of humidity. Matlab program has been used to simulate the model and obtain numerical results with graphs.
Development of Polynomial Mode Shape Functions for Continuous Shafts with Different End Conditions
Authors: Luintel Mahesh Chandra
Published: April 2021

Common methods used to determine the solutions for vibration response of continuous systems are assumed mode method, Rayleigh-Ritz method, Galerkin Method, finite element method, etc. Each of these methods requires the shape functions which satisfy the boundary conditions. Shape functions derived in most of the classical textbooks are simple trigonometric functions for some end conditions but are very complex transcendental functions for many end conditions. It is very difficult to determine the vibration response of a continuous system analytically by using such transcendental shape functions. Hence this paper presents a method to develop polynomial shape functions required to solve the vibration of continuous shafts with different end conditions. The natural frequencies obtained from the developed polynomial shape functions are compared to those obtained from the classical transcendental shape functions and found very close for the first three modes.

Published: April 2021

The market of mineral fertilizers is developing rapidly, which contributed to the growth of agricultural production in general and the growth of demand in the world market in particular. As a result, the supply of mineral fertilizers on the market, which is formed due to its own production and import of products, grew.

Chemical companies, taking into account the current situation, have shifted from the insolvent domestic market to the world market, as a result of which this segment has provided, along with the metallurgical industry, a significant share of foreign exchange earnings over the past decade. Mineral fertilizers are an important source of nutrient return to the soil and the basis for modern modern technologies and profitable agribusiness.

In recent years, Ukraine has seen an increase in the use of basic types of mineral fertilizers, as well as an increase in the application of complex fertilizers. Demand for fertilizers in Ukraine is formed by farms of various organizational and legal forms and sizes of land use, including large agricultural holdings, where considerable attention is paid to the intensification of agricultural production. 

In the usual technological mode, the neutralization of phosphoric acid in the apparatus of the high-speed evaporator-evaporator (SAV) is carried out with liquid ammonia. Liquid ammonia in the SAV apparatus first evaporates, and then gaseous ammonia reacts with phosphoric acid. The neutralization process results in a low-concentration ammophos pulp.

It is established in the work that during the research of ammophos production in the conditions of vibrogranulation the technological process is improved due to the installation of more optimal nozzles of the BGS apparatus.

The characteristics of raw materials, finished product and auxiliary materials are analyzed; physico-chemical bases of the process. Selected technical characteristics of the main and auxiliary equipment. According to the results of the research, it is proposed to install a transport nozzle, to improve the optimal conditions of the technological process, structural elements of the main devices.

According to the results of the analysis, irrigated water belonged to the II quality class – "Limitedly suitable" in the all years of research. To establish the effect of class II water irrigation, the chemical composition of the water extract was determined. These researches showed on the anionic composition of the increase in SO4 ions relative to the option without irrigation for all years of observation. It was due to the entry of these ions into the soil along with irrigation water. Without irrigation the amount of sulfates gradually decreased. It was 2.25 meq/100 g of soil in the fifth year. There was a clear tendency to increase chlorine ions in irrigation option. The amount of chlorine increased to 1.5 times compared to the non-irrigated option. Therefore, the chemistry of the site was chloride-sulfate and sulfate.

According to the cationic composition, the largest amount was accounted for by sodium ions. The amount of Na + 1 in the irrigated option increased by 34% on average when comparing with the control option. In the absence of irrigation, the site is slowly desalinated by reducing the ratio of Na/Ca ions by an average of 8.7 units compared to irrigated options. For some years of research the soil without irrigation option was referred to the slightly saline type.

Positional control systems are characterized by the limitation of intermediate coordinates in transients. Such restrictions are implemented by a system with cascading controllers. The N-i switching method provides optimization of the speed of such control systems. In this paper, we study the three-loop system of subordinate regulation. The parameters of the relay-modal controllers were varied based on a change in the calculated amplitude of the control action without changing its real value. The parametric synthesis of such a system is based on optimal trajectories in terms of speed. The study of the control system at various settings revealed a different degree of deviation of transitional trajectories from the calculated one. This effect is due to the replacement of optimal regulator settings with modal ones in order to give the system a margin of stability. The obtained families of transient characteristics make it possible to construct empirical dependences of the duration of regulation on the relative value of the calculated amplitude of the control action. Such dependencies have pronounced extremes, which makes it possible to tune the system to a near optimal speed by preventing the regulators from entering the sliding mode prematurely. The performed simulation of the positional system with extremal settings confirms the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for the correction of dynamic characteristics. The results of the study open up the prospects of the practical implementation of relay-modal control algorithms for cascading systems, the synthesis of which is based on the N-i switching method.

Abstract: This study provides a reflexive analysis of evaluative practice in the health sector in Burkina Faso. A sample of ten evaluations carried out in the health sector since 2011 was analyzed. The descriptive analysis shows that current evaluation practices vary very widely across the country. Most evaluation reports do not comply with international norms and standards in evaluation, in particular with regard to the definition of terms of reference and evaluation questions, the precision of evaluation criteria and the quality of the methodology. We conclude that a culture of evaluation must be developed and capacity must be built for better capitalization of experiences and for evidence-based decision-making.

Sob o contexto da pandemia do coronavírus (ou covid-19) e através do apontamento de elementos sociais e contemporâneos, analisa-se como a telenovela perpetua discursos de identidade a respeito dos idosos. Há ainda um estudo de caso da novela “A Dona do Pedaço”, produção de 2019 realizada pela TV Globo em momento imediatamente anterior à pandemia.
Assistência social em tempos da covid-19
Authors: Souza Cristiane Natalício de
Published: April 2021

Este ensaio teórico reflete sobre a destinação de mais recursos do fundo público brasileiro à política de transferência de renda em tempos da COVID-19. O debate parte da seguinte questão: a política de transferência de renda deixou de ser tratada como benesse para ser entendida como direito, a partir da disseminação dessa doença? O texto explora o tema do Estado social sob a lógica contraditória, dialética e processual do capitalismo. Do Estado social que regulamenta direitos e a emancipação política do trabalhador e, de outro lado, harmoniza a relação entre empregador e empregado para manter a produção e reprodução da força de trabalho mais disponível à exploração capitalista, piorada com a disseminação Do projeto neoliberal no Brasil. Com esse encaminhamento, o texto desvela o processo de reestruturação produtiva, enfatizando a impossibilidade de superar a política transferência de renda.

İnsanlar yaşadıkları çevreyi oluşturan unsurlara çeşitli isimler vermiştir. Yaşadıkları çevrede büyük bir etkileşim içinde oldukları bitkileri de tanımlamak için çeşitli adlandırmalar yapmışlardır. Yapılan bu adlandırmalar yaşanılan bölgenin ağız ve dil özelliklerine bağlı olarak çeşitlenmiştir. Anadolu geçirdiği tarihsel süreçler sebebiyle birçok farklı kültürün izlerini taşımaktadır. Bu izler ve kültürel çeşitlilik bitkilerin yöresel isimlendirmelerinde de zengin bir çeşitliliğe neden olmuştur. Bitkilerin yöresel isimlendirmelerinin zenginliği nesilden nesile sözlü olarak aktarıldığı için zaman içinde değişmesi veya ortadan kalkması gibi durumlar olabileceğinden bilimsel çalışmalar ile kayıt altına alınması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu kapsamda hazırlanan çalışmamızda Samandere Vadisi (Düzce) ve çevresinde bulunan, zengin kültürel mirasa sahip farklı etnik grupların oluşturduğu köylerde 2019-2020 tarihleri arasında yapılan etnobotanik araştırmalar neticesinde, yöre insanının dilleriyle çeşitlenmiş yerel bitki ve mantar isimlerinin tespiti yapılmış ve çevre yörelere göre farklılık gösteren isimler ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Buna göre araştırma alanında geleneksel kullanımı olan 56 familyaya ait 139 bitki taksonu ve 7 familyaya ait 8 mantar taksonuna ait yöresel isim kayıt edilmiştir. Bu taksonlardan 109’u doğal, 38’i kültür olmak üzere toplam 147 taksona ait 264 yerel bitki adı ve 13 yerel mantar adı kayıt edilmiştir. Tespit edilen bitki ve mantarların geleneksel adlandırılmasında en yaygın kullanılan yaklaşımların hayvana benzetme ve renk özelliklerinden yararlanılarak olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Bizans El Yazmaları İle İlişkili Terimler ve Terminoloji Sorunu
Authors: KAYA İlkgül
Published: April 2021

Bizans İmparatorluğu Orta Çağ’ın dini, siyasi, kültürel ve sanatsal ortamına yön veren en önemli devletlerden biriydi. İmparatorluğun ortaya çıkışından yıkılışına değin, binlerce eser kaleme alındı ve kopya edildi. Sanat tarihi literatüründe el yazmaları incelemeleri önemli bir yer tutsa da; günümüze değin Bizans eserleri üzerine terminolojik bir sözlük oluşturulmamıştır. Bizans Sanatı’yla ilişkili bazı Antik Yunanca ve Latince terimlerin bir kısmı Türkçe literatüre geçmiş olsa da, terimlerin Türkçe karşılığı bulunmamaktadır. Bizans el yazmaları ile ilişkili terimlerin birçoğunun da Türkçesi yoktur. Bu durumun temel nedeni, el yazmalarıyla ilişkili terimlerin akademik literatür dışında kullanımına ihtiyaç duyulmamış olmasıyla açıklanabilir.
El yazmaları birkaç yönden incelenir. Kodikolojik inceleme el yazmalarının malzeme ve teknik özellikleri, ölçüleri, kitabın formu, cüz/tomarlar, dikişler, kapak özellikleri gibi kitapların somut yönüne dayanır. Paleografik incelemeler eserlerin metnindeki harflerin biçimleri, yazı karakteri, el yazısının karakteristik özellikleri, büyük ve küçük harfler, satır ve sütun düzeni, başlık, kısaltma, ayraç, işaretçi gibi metin ve sayfa düzeniyle ilişkili yönlere odaklanır. İkonografik incelemeler ise el yazmalarının resimlerini baz alır. İkonografi metin-resim arasında kurulan ilişkiyi temel alarak, resimlerin konu seçkisi, kökeni, sanatsal üslubu, oran-orantı, perspektif, üretildiği dönemin sanatsal üslubu ile olan ilişkisi gibi unsurları ele alarak yorumlamaktadır.
Bu çalışmada Orta Çağ ve spesifik olarak Bizans el yazmalarına ilişkin kodikolojik ve paleografik terimlere, bu terimlerin uluslararası kataloglama ve envanter sistemlerindeki kısaltmalarına ve genel anlamda el yazmaları ile ilişkili akademik literatürdeki terminoloji sorununa değinilmektedir.
