Güncel Algıyla Kur’an’ın İtibarsızlaştırılmaya Çalışılması: Hz. Peygamber’in Evlilikleri ve Kölelik Meselesi
Authors: KARAOSMAN Muhammet
Published: December 2021

Günümüzde insan zihni çeşitli algı yönetimi metodlarıyla saldırıya mâruz kalmaktadır. Medya insan algılarını yönetmekte sıkça başvurulan bir araçtır. Bu yöntemlerin etkisiyle insanlar gerçeklerden daha çok algılarına göre hareket etmektedir. Oysa algılar her zaman gerçeğe tekabül etmez. Bu bağlamda Batı dünyasının yeni ötekisi/düşmanı Müslümanlar hakkındaki olumsuz algı en çok Kur’an-ı Kerim üzerinden oluşturulur. Araştırmamızda güncel algılara aykırı görünen iki örnek Kur’an perspektifinden incelenmektedir. Bu meseleler Hz. Muhammed’in Hz. Aişe ve Hz. Zeyneb’le yaptığı evlilikler, çok evlilik mevzusu ve kölelik meselesidir. Çalışmamız nitel bir araştırma olup literatür taramasına dayanmaktadır. Öncelikle bu konuların Hicaz-Arap kültüründe ve Kur’an’da nasıl yer aldığı ele alınmaktadır. Örnek olarak incelenen uygulamaların var olan kültüre uygunluğu müşrik, Yahudi ve münafıkların meseleye bakışıyla ortaya konulmaktadır. Ardından bu hususlarla ilgili oryantalist ve ülkemizdeki İslam dinine önyargılı bazı yazarların iddialarına yer verilmektedir. Araştırmacıların artık bigâne kalamayacağı sosyal medyadan da bazı örneklerden istifade edilmektedir. Nihayetinde şöyle bir tablo ortaya çıkmaktadır. Güncel algı, önce değer haline getirilmekte; daha sonra da bu algı başka zamanlara teşmil edilerek değerlendirme ölçütü olmakta ve bu ölçüye uymayan farklı uygulamalar itibarsızlaştırılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Kur’an ayetleri başta olmak üzere klasik eserlerdeki rivayetlerden hareketle bir itibarsızlaştırma faaliyeti yapılmaktadır. Fakat Kur’an-ı Kerim ayetleri sosyo-kültürel ortamlarından uzak bir şekilde literal okunarak çarpıtma yapılmakta ve genellikle anakronizme düşülmektedir.

Published: December 2021

Çocukluk dönemi, diğer gelişim alanları açısından olduğu gibi dinî geli-şim açısından da önemli bir dönemdir. Bu dönemde çocuk, temel dini bilgi ve değerleri belli ölçüde ailesinden alabilse de uzmanların rehberliğinde bir eğitime ihtiyaç duyduğu açıktır. Türkiye’de örgün eğitimde 10 yaşından küçük çocuklara ayrı bir ders olarak din eğitimi verilmemesi, bu ihtiyacın yaygın din eğitimi yoluyla karşılanmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. 2012 yılına kadar ilkokulu bitirmeyen çocukların yaz Kur’an kurslarına gitmesi dahi yasaklanmıştır. Bununla birlikte bu yasağın temelsizliği farkedilmiş ve 2013 yılından itibaren 4-6 yaş Kur’an Kursları açılarak çocukların din eğitimi alabilmesi için bir imkân sunulmuştur. Bu kurslar çocuklarına mensup oldukları dini öğretmek isteyen aileler tarafından yoğun ilgi görmektedir. Henüz kurumsallaşma sürecini tamamlamamış bu kursların varlığının anlamlı hale gelmesi ve devam edebilmesi için buralarda nitelikli bir eğitim verilmesi zorunludur. Eğitim faaliyetlerinin niteliğini belirleyen en önemli unsurlardan biri olan öğreticilerin, bu kurslarda verilen eğitimle ilgili düşüncelerinin tespit edilerek değerlendirilmesi, kursların verimliliğinin arttırılması açısından katkı sağlayıcı görülmektedir. Nitel olarak kurgulanan bu çalışmada Tekirdağ’ın Çorlu ilçesinde görev yapan öğreticilerin görüşleri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları kullanılarak odak grup görüşmesi yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, betimleme ve içerik analizi yöntemleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: December 2021

Annemarie Schimmel, dünya dinleri, felsefe, biyografi, edebiyat gibi ko-nularda kaleme aldığı eserlerle Doğu’da ve Batı’da isminden söz ettiren velûd bir akademisyendir. Diğer yandan onun özellikle tasavvuf alanında ortaya koyduğu çalışmalar, tasavvuf düşünce geleneğinin Batılı araştırmacılar tarafından objektif bir perspektiften okunmasına ve yeniden ilgi odağı olarak değerlendirilmesine sebep olmuştur. Tasavvuf tarihi olarak değerlendirebileceğimiz Mystische Dimension des Islam, Mevlânâ Celâleddin Rûmî’nin tasavvufî görüşlerini irdelediği Ich bin Wind du bist Feuer, tasavvufa giriş niteliğinde olan Sufismus: Eine Einführung in die islamische Mystik ve Hallac-ı Mansûr’u konu edindiği Al-Halladsch: Märtyrer der Gottesliebe: Leben und Legende eserleri, onun bu sahada bilinen çalışmalarından birkaçıdır. Schimmel, Yunus Emre’nin bazı şiirlerini de Ausgewählte Gedichte von Yunus Emre isimli eseriyle Almanca’ya tercüme etmiştir. Ayrıca onun Yunus Emre’nin tasavvufî görüşlerini tahkiye metoduyla anlattığı ve bazı şiirlerini irdelediği Wanderungen mit Yunus Emre ismiyle bilinen çalışması Anadolu’da tasavvuf kültürü ile irtibatlı olarak tasnif edilebilecek bir diğer eseridir. Bu makale, eserlerinden hareketle Schimmel’in Anadolu’da yetişmiş bir mutasavvıf olarak Yunus Emre telakkisini ve onun perspektifinden Anadolu’da tasavvufî düşüncenin ve kültürün izdüşümlerini konu edinmektedir.

Quality Control of Subtitles
Authors: Nikolic Kristijan
Published: December 2021

Quality control of subtitles is a relatively unresearched field, even though it has a significant influence on the overall quality, and thus viewers’ experience of subtitles. It is carried out in different ways: various language service providers and broadcasters have different procedures, for instance, it sometimes solely involves proofreading. An online questionnaire has been distributed among professionals involved in the production chain of subtitles: broadcasters, streaming and video-on-demand services, vendors also known as language service providers, subtitlers, quality controllers and proofreaders.The hope is that this report will enable professionals involved in quality control of subtitles to further enhance their quality control procedures. The results of this research could also be used in experimental investigation of viewers’ perception of quality in subtitling by using the same research methods applied in this study.
Lay Summary
We do not know much about the quality control of subtitles on which many viewers depend to be able to follow TV content in foreign languages, or because they are deaf or hard-of-hearing. I conducted research by means of an online questionnaire among professionals and organisations involved in the production of subtitles to check how and whether they ensure viewers get subtitles of the highest possible quality. One of the main findings of the survey is that all professionals involved in the subtitling process think that the quality of subtitles is important, and that freelance subtitlers largely don’t think their clients pay enough attention to subtitling quality. The questionnaire was sent to TV and streaming broadcasters, agencies that work as intermediaries between broadcasters and subtitlers, quality controllers and proofreaders. Based on the findings of this survey, I have recommended several steps that can be taken to ensure better quality subtitles.
Generic Fluency in Professional Subtitling:
Authors: Korpi Suvi
Published: December 2021

This article evaluates the translation of neologies in professional subtitling of audiovisual science fiction from the point of view of genre-specific features. Neologies are seen to be the most important linguistic element of science fiction as they produce the science fiction genre-specific cognitive estrangement and hence cognitively estrange the viewer from reality. Evaluating the translation of neologies is thus used as a tool to evaluate the transfer of the source text genre to the target text and to hypothesise whether the target text meets the expectations of the viewers. When the neologies are retained as genre-specific features of science fiction, the target text genre is seen to be generically fluent and the target text meets the viewer’s expectations. Even though the translation solutions which render the genre unfluent (misplace the science fiction cognitive estrangement produced by the source text) are in minority in the study material, the neologies can be seen to normalise towards common language in the translation process. This means that as neologies are considered as one of the producers of the science fiction genre-specific cognitive estrangement, the source text genre becomes less accessible for the target text viewer.
Lay summary
Science fiction is one of the most popular contemporary film and tv-series genres. The audience has expectations on the content of a science fiction film or tv-series based on their previous experiences with the genre, in other words, the genre-specific features. This article evaluates the translation of neologies in professional subtitling of audiovisual science fiction from the point of view of these genre-specific features. Neologies are seen to be the voice of science fiction as they cognitively estrange the viewer from reality. Evaluating the translation of neologies is used as a tool to evaluate the transfer of the source text (the original tv-series) genre to the target text (the subtitled tv-series) and to hypothesise whether the translation meets the expectations of the viewers. When the dialogue’s neologies are retained in the subtitles, the target text is seen to meet the viewer’s expectations. The study revealed that the neologies can be seen to normalise towards common language in the translation process. This means that as neologies are considered as one of the producers of the science fiction genre-specific cognitive estrangement, the source text genre becomes less accessible for the target text viewer.
Getting the Full Picture in English and Spanish?
Authors: García Vizcaíno María José
Published: December 2021

Drawing on the mental model theory of fictional characters (Schneider, 2001) applied to audio description (Fresno, 2016), this paper examines the audio description (AD) of characters in English and Spanish for the Netflix series Élite. The study is based on the premise that semantic descriptions of characters, rather than merely visual descriptions of physical traits, contribute to a better understanding of the narrative complexities of a film, favour AD users’ memory, and reduce cognitive effort (Fresno et al., 2016). This contrastive analysis shows how pertinent description of action movements and appearances together with lexical accuracy can trigger helpful semantic meanings that reveal characters’ psychological features. Because Élite is a thriller in which the majority of the characters are murder suspects, accessing all types of information about them is essential to fully understand the plot. In addition, this analysis indicates that the English AD emphasizes certain character attributes which are absent from the Spanish AD, a distinction that influences the semantic domains, filmic cohesion and coherence of the narrative. This finding underscores the fact that cross-linguistic and cultural differences actually affect the reception of a fictional character by AD users (Orero, 2008; Mazur & Chmiel, 2012) and consequently, their appreciation and enjoyment of the program in question.

Audiovisual Translation at the Service of the EU Public Communication 2.0
Authors: Maestri Alessandro
Published: December 2021

Communication is becoming more and more (audio)visual, social and mobile. This is true not only of the entertainment industry but also of commercial advertising and institutional public communication. Consequently, the audiovisual translation industry is flourishing. Although a growing array of products outside the field of entertainment are being localised and/or made accessible, they have received scant attention so far, whether in academic or professional circles. This is notably the case of the institutional video subgenre.
This practice report will first address the importance of using increasingly multilingual and multimodal audiovisual products in EU external communication – a tool for reaching out to more citizens on social media and boosting their active participation at a time when populism and Euroscepticism are on the rise. The focus will then shift to the audiovisual communication of the Council of the EU. Through a case study which aims to investigate the internal localisation in all EU official languages of the “#Europeans” series of videos – produced for the 2019 EU elections – the rest of the paper will then outline the main features of the institutional audiovisual translation subgenre. It will also identify some opportunities for improvement: a more integrated and interdisciplinary approach which – together with reinforced collaboration with academia – could lead to a real multilingual creative process right from the initial steps of the audiovisual production process.

Published: December 2021

Tropospheric radio wave signals experience loss due to multipath effect, scattering and other forms of attenuation through the atmospheric medium, primarily due to variations in weather conditions with time. The knowledge of surface refractivity profile is important for optimal planning of Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency (VHF/UHF) terrestrial radio links in a region. The study of surface refractivity (Ns) over the North-Central Nigeria was carried out using meteorological data from seven locations in North-Central zone of Nigeria. The seasonal variations of Ns were also derived using the monthly summaries of surface data obtained from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) over seven stations of Abuja, Lafia, Lokoja, Makurdi, Jos, Minna and Ilorin between 2005 and 2010.The results indicated that the monthly averages of radio refractivity during the rainy season months (April to October) are greater than the Ns values during the dry season months (November to March) for all the locations throughout the years of the study. The computed of mean monthly Ns over all the seven stations in the first 1 km above the ground level is 348 N-units, which gives mean refractivity gradient (dN/dh) of -49 N/k, these shows that the region is characterised by low scale super-refraction. The mean k-factor over the entire region in the first 1 km above the ground level is 1.4; the mean Field Strength Variability (FSV) in first 1 km of height in the region was calculated to be 14 dB. The mean Radio Horizon distance within 1 km height for a transmitter height of 100 m over the stations is 42 km. The results provide useful information needed by radio engineers to set up new terrestrial radio propagation links or to improve on the existing ones especially at VHF, UHF in the North-Central region of Nigeria, as recommended by International Telecommunication Union Recommendations (ITU-R P.453, 2013), which observed the need for local reference data on refractivity and refractivity gradients all over the world.
Washable Stitched Transmission Line for Wearable Applications
Authors: Daniel Isaac Hyuk , Umar Ibrahim , Kure Nicodemus , Kassimu Abdullahi
Published: December 2021

In this paper, the washability of a stitched transmission line is been studied. The aim is to
determine the deterioration of the frequency dependence of the scattering parameters of the stitched transmission line after subjecting it to washing cycles using a domestic washing machine. The DC resistance of the stitched transmission line was measured before and after wash with results indicating an increase in the DC resistance from 16.9 Ω to 22.8 Ω after washing the stitched transmission line. The increase in DC resistance is due to the decrease in conductive path of the stitched transmission line as a result of the abrasion impacts in the washing machine leading to increased number of fissures and defects on the stitched transmission line. The propagation characteristics of the stitched transmission line were investigated using CST Microwave Studio Suite® and measurements on the stitched transmission line before and after wash was carried out using an Anritsu MS46524A 7GHz Network Analyser for a frequency range of 0.04 to 4 GHz, with results demonstrating that the stitched transmission line will make a good candidate for wearable applications.
Diurnal Variation of Surface Radio Refractivity over Sokoto, North-western Nigeria
Authors: Doko Mohammed , David Oyedum , Ladan Muhammad , Yabagi Jibrin , Babakacha Ndanusa , Saba Abdullahi , Cummings Franscious
Published: December 2021

The knowledge of good refractivity profile is vital for proper planning of terrestrial
communication links; surface refractivity profile of a station is particularly required for
enhanced planning and prediction of performance of terrestrial radio links especially in
tropical regions where International Telecommunication Union Recommendations (ITU-R) has called for such local propagation data. The diurnal surface radio refractivity Ns over Sokoto was investigated for a period of three years (2008-2010). High values of Ns were recorded in the early morning hours while low values were recorded during afternoon hours. The least mean hourly Ns varied between 270-280 N-units in January (a typical dry season month in Sokoto) while the mean maximum was recorded between 345-360 N- units in July (a typical rainy season month). Also, average seasonal variation of Ns was 356-440 N-units in rainy season and 270-285 N-units in dry season. The result of this investigation also showed that relative humidity and temperature have major influence on the variation of surface radio refractivity, while pressure has relatively less influence. The study further showed that coverage of a radio transmitter of 200 m height may have a variation of up to 0.5 km between morning and afternoon hours in Sokoto.

The study was conducted to find the net carbon stock in the Sal (Shorea robusta) forest in Bagdaila Chisapani community forest of Dang district, Nepal. The inventory was done by a stratified sampling technique with 0.5% sampling intensity taking into account the woody plants with ≥ 5cm DBH. A total of 49 sample plots of radius 8.94m and 5.64 were established to measure tree biomass and sapling biomass respectively in the forest. The mean above-ground carbon (AGC) was 160.4 t ha-1 and the mean below-ground carbon (BGC) was 24.1t ha-1. The mean total carbon stock in the study area was estimated to be 99.02 t ha-1; of which maximum carbon stock of 143.51 t ha-1 was found in block number 5. Sal was the major tree species in the CF. The biomass and carbon content in this forest is found quite low as compared to other studies in the Sal forest and other tropical forests which were due to the presence of tree stands of less diameter and height. This study would be helpful in the long-term management of forests, planning, and research purposes. The data from this study could also be taken as a reference document for the participation of community forests in carbon accounting under the REDD+ scheme in Nepal.

Published: December 2021

This study described the meaning of lived experiences of the municipal leaders of Loboc, Bohol, Philippines, prior, during, and after typhoon “Seniang” in 2014. It investigated the initiatives and practices of the local government unit (LGU) and captured the household experiences through a qualitative research approach following the Husserlian descriptive phenomenology utilizing Colaizzi’s method of data analysis.  Purposive sampling was employed through face-to-face interviews with 12 key informants after reaching saturation point. All narrative accounts were transcribed and served as the primary source of qualitative data. The extracted accounts were organized through thematic categorization yielding 77 significant statements, 28 formulated meanings, 15 clusters, and 4 emergent themes. These emergent themes include awareness of disaster, experiences during the disaster, good local governance practices, and experienced challenges.  Grounded on these findings, it is concluded that effective disaster response and quick and successful recovery fundamentally depend on authentic and effective governance by Loboc local leaders concretized through collaborative, concrete observance, implementation of responsive policy processes and the harmonious team works among community members. Altogether, proactive involvement makes a community more resilient. The researchers recommend that Loboc local leaders, employees, and residents, altogether put a premium on active participation, profess a positive outlook with enduring commitment to immediately rebound from any experienced disaster.

Published: December 2021

The concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, & Zn were determined in the samples of soil, dismantling dust and rubber collected from the electronic waste dumping site of Shershah market and rubber from the Local market of Karachi city Pakistan. The city e-waste dumping and dismantling sites toxicity were not conducted before using modern techniques. The subsequent data of the heavy metals concentration were obtained using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Wavelength Dispersive- X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WD-XRF). Cu, Pb, and Zn were found as 133.17, 104.53 & 113.26 in soil, whereas in dismantling dust Pb & Zn were remained 10.56 and 12.65 mg/kg similarly. The China toy particle analysis by SEM was resulting metallic trend as Fe > Zn > Pb > Cd > Ni > Cr. The estimated data were compared with the levels allowed by the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Pak-EPA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The maximum allowable limit for Cd is 3; Cr, Cd, and Pb are 100 for Ni is 50 and 300 mg/kg for Zn. The presence of these heavy metals from e-waste dumping would become soon a significant reason to cause serious health problems for the nearby residents and as well as city too. It has been concluded that the dumping of e-waste is the major source of contamination of heavy metals in the studied media. It is recommended that the e-waste must be recycled formally to prevent the soil from being polluted.

Published: December 2021

Bhutan has a total geographical area of 38,394 Km² located in between the Indo-Malayan and Palearctic region, out of which 51.44% (19750.75 km²) of its total geographical area has been designated as the protected area.  However, none of the districts have a structured baseline checklist of mammal species documented till date. Therefore, Sarpang Forest Division under the Department of Forests and Park Services had carried out five rigorous camera trap surveys including a nationwide tiger survey that covers representable areas of the district from 2014 till 2020. The survey shows that district has 36 mammal species that belong to 18 families under seven orders. Felidae and Cervidae families has the highest species abundance (n = 17%), while, Canidae, Herpestidae, Leporidae, Manidae, Melinae, Muridae, Mustelidae, Tupaiidae, Proboscidae, Pteromyidae, Suidae and Ursidae were the lowest (n = 3%). Above all, Sarpang homed 29.90% of total mammal species of Bhutan, out of which 3% of mammal species were categorized under Critically Endangered, 14% Endangered, 14% Vulnerable, 22% Near Threatened, and 47% Least Concern as per IUCN Red List. However, only 20 mammal species are listed under CITES and nine in Schedule I of Forest and Nature Conservation Act of Bhutan, 1995. Therefore, landscape-based planning such as the Division-based Conservation & Management plan; periodic monitoring of wildlife species using camera traps, and validation of Schedule I species are suggested for long-term conservation and management of globally threatened species inside the landscape of Sarpang district in Bhutan.

Authors: UZUN ATA Elif , IŞIKSALAN ÖZBÜLBÜL Nilgün
Published: December 2021

Background: In this study, the relationship of CAD (coronary artery disease) with EAT (epicardial adipose tissue) volume and hepatosteatosis were investigated by using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Material and Method: EAT (Epicardial Adipose Tissue) volume, CCS (coronary calcium score) and CT density of liver (CTDL) were measured by using 64-detector computed tomography in 96 patients who were clinically referred for the evaluation of CAD. The relationship between EAT volume, CCS, CTDL and their effectiveness in detecting coronary heart disease were investigated. Data analysis was done with MedCalc (Version 9.6.2.0) package program.

Results: CCS (AUC=0.866) and EAT volume (AUC=0.672) were significantly effective in determination of CAD. The diagnostic accuracy of CCS in detecting CAD was higher than of EAT volume. EAT volume was higher in patients with CAD (85.81±34.51 cm³), compared to patients without CAD (68.38±29.23 cm³) (P=0.0119). CTDL in patients with CAD (58.74±12.22 HU) was significantly lower than in patients without CAD (63.02±8.93) (P=0.0553). There was no statistically significant relationship between EAT volume and CCS (r=0.1620, P=0.1148), EAT volume and CTDL (r=0.0046, P=0.9648), and CCS and CTDL (r=0.0109, P=0.9162).

Conclusion: There was no relationship between EAT volume, CTDL and CCS. EAT volume is higher in patients with CAD than in patients without CAD. EAT volume had moderate but lower diagnostic power than CCS, to determine CAD.

AbstractIslamic insurance has a big role in the Islamic finance sector with the principle of mutual help. Gross contribution is one of the funds that can be utilized for insurance participants and companies. Covid19, which has an impact on the economic sector, makes understanding the growth of sharia insurance before and after the pandemic in terms of gross contribution very important. This study aims to further review the gross contribution from March-December to find out whether there is a significant difference from the gross contribution of sharia insurance before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted using a comparative quantitative approach with two paired samples. The research sample uses time series data, namely the gross contribution of sharia insurance in 2019 and 2020 for the period from March to December. The results of this study found that the comparison of gross contribution to the Islamic insurance industry seen before the 2019 pandemic and after the 2020 pandemic which was taken from March to December was normally distributed. This means that the development of sharia insurance when viewed before the 2019 pandemic and after the 2020 pandemic according to the gross contributions from sharia insurance participants did not experience a significant difference and will certainly increase.AbstrakAsuransi syariah memiliki peran besar pada sektor keuangan syariah dengan prinsip saling tolongmenolong.

REGULAÇÃO CIRCADIANA DO SONO ATRAVÉS DA SUPLEMENTAÇÃO DE MELATONINA E IMPACTO NO MANEJO CLÍNICO DO EXCESSO PONDERAL
Authors: De Oliveira Naomi Shede Rangel , Dos Santos Maria Eduarda Anulino , Melo Nathalia Caroline de Oliveira
Published: December 2021

O mundo moderno tem sido associado, entre outros fatores, a diminuição do tempo de sono e aumento da adiposidade corporal. A regulação do sono é dada pela ação do sistema circadiano, regulado pelo núcleo supraquiasmático, o qual coordena todas as atividades metabólicas e comportamentais dos indivíduos durante o período de 24h, incluindo a secreção e ação da melatonina, a qual atua como um cronobiótico, que, quando em desequilíbrio, impacta em alterações metabólicas e no comportamento alimentar. O estudo objetiva avaliar a eficácia da suplementação de melatonina como adjuvante no tratamento clínico da obesidade. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa, onde a coleta de dados se deu através das bases de dados Pubmed, Scielo e LILACS. Foram incluídos artigos datados nos últimos 5 anos, além de informações coletadas na Diretriz Brasileira de Obesidade (2016) e sites governamentais, como Ministério da Saúde e IBGE. Utilizados os seguintes DeCS: melatonina; nutrição; obesidade; crononutrição, nos idiomas português e inglês. A melatonina possui receptores no tecido adiposo periférico, o que resulta em sua influência sobre o processo de lipogênese e lipólise, impactando no controle do peso corporal. A ação da melatonina exógena no tecido adiposo marrom favorece a sua hipertrofia, impactando na regulação da termogênese e balanço energético equilibrado. Dessa forma, sua suplementação pode ser vista como terapia adjuvante no controle do excesso ponderal por favorecer a qualidade do sono, repercutindo na diminuição do tempo de alimentação, controle do ritmo circadiano alimentar e manejo da resistência à insulina em portadores de excesso de gordura corporal.
