Introduction. The introduction of new sources characterizing traditions of Buryat chronicle writing into scientific circulation remains an urgent task of Mongolian studies. Dozens of works and their various copies and editions are still there to be explored. The article precedes a further study and translation of a voluminous historical chronicle of the Aga and Khori Buryats. Goals. The study attempts a brief overview of the chronicle’s contents and approaches some peculiarities traced in its text. Materials and methods. The analysis of Rabzhi Sanzhiev’s writing involves a wide range of Buryat historical works — both chronicles and archival documents. The historical comparative and chronological methods prove instrumental in systematizing the data contained, while tools of textual and source studies have made it possible to delineate the author’s text proper. Results. The work identifies an extensive range of sources and the chronicle’s structure according to which R. Sanzhiev’s narrative be conventionally divided into a number of large sections, namely: Shirab-Nimbu Khobituev’s chronicle; copies of official documents; historical works by T. Toboev, D. Zayaev, S. Vandanov, A. Ochirov; and the author’s text. Conclusions. R. Sanzhiev’s writing is a major work of the historical documentary genre. The author undertook painstaking efforts to meticulously clarify data included in Shirab-Nimbu Khobituev’s chronicle and supplement certain facts and data, introduce additional findings from various sources. The continuation of Khobituev’s chronicle — despite the compiled facts are fragmented enough — acts as an independent composition. Archival documents on the history of Buryat self-governance and Buddhism, folklore texts, chronicles and legends included by the author into the narrative are of particular value.

Introduction. The article examines an understudied issue of how and to what extent Buddhism had influenced the Buryat epic of Geser. Over the past two millennia, the Buddhist factor — starting from the Xiongnu era — has been to a certain degree reflected in various areas of spiritual life of Turko-Mongolian nomads and their descendants. Goals. So, the work aims to study impacts of Buddhism on such a significant monument of the Buryat oral poetic tradition as Geseriad. Results. The method of comparative analysis proves instrumental in identifying terms and concepts of Indo-Buddhist origin that constitute an ancient dimension in narrative structures of the uliger (epic). Those constants include as follows: hумбэр уула ‘Mount Sumeru’ associated with the world Mount Meru that serves to mark a center of the earth and universe in ancient Indian mythology; hун далай ‘milk sea’ that has an ancient Indian prototype in the Samudra Manthana episode. Similarly, some other cosmogonic concepts of ancient India — such as замби (Sanskr. Jambudvīpa ‘Jambu mainland’) and галаб (Sanskr. kalpa ‘aeon’) — had penetrated the Buryat folk mythological tradition through Buddhism to get completely absorbed and adapted. The Buryat Geseriad also contains traces of Indo-Buddhist mythology at the level of zoomorphic images, especially notable in the case of Khan Kherdig ‘king of birds and devourer of serpents’. Conclusions. The southern borrowings had become organically integral to the epic of Geser — its plot and images — so that nowadays tend to be perceived as quite ‘autochthonous’ and indigenous elements of the narrative. This circumstance attests to that Buddhist vestiges in the Buryat epic have a long history.
Generating Bipedal Pokémon Images by Implementing the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network
Authors: Jermyn Jacqueline
Published: January 2023

Abstract: Pokémon is a video game series wherein players capture and train fauna that are known as Pokémons. These creatures vary in colour, shape, size, and have distinct personalities and skillsets. After the Pokémons are trained by their coaches (who are the players), they are used to fight other Pokémons so that the winning player could achieve the Pokémon Champion status. Since its debut in 1996, Pokémon has become the highest grossing media franchise with over $100 billion in revenue through the sale of books and merchandise along with television programming and movies. This paper discusses the implementation of the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) to create artificial bipedal Pokémon images. This is achieved by training a WGAN on a custom-built training dataset of Generation I bipedal Pokémon pictures. The effectiveness of the WGAN for outputting artificial Pokémon images is evaluated by using the loss curves and by visually inspecting the outputted images.

Published: January 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the latest clinical studies on Korean medicine treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database.Methods: We searched the last 6 years of clinical studies discussing Oriental medicine-based treatments for ITP in the CNKI database. A meta-analysis of 13 RCTs was performed by synthesizing the outcomes, including the measured platelet count and total effective rate. The quality of the studies was assessed using Cochrane’s risk of bias (RoB) tool. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for data analysis.Results: Of the 15 selected studies, 1 was a non-randomized controlled trial (nRCT), 2 were case series, and 12 were randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Treatments in all studies included oral herbal medicine. The most frequently used herbal decoction was the Liangxue Jiedu prescription (凉血解毒方), and the most commonly used herb was Agrimonia pilosa (仙鶴草), Astragali Radix (黃芪), Fossilia Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (甘草), and Rehmannia glutinosa Liboschitz ex Steudel (地黃). The meta-analysis showed significantly better improvement in platelet counts and total effective rate for ITP in the treatment group than in the control group.Conclusion: Treatment with herbal medicine was effective in treating ITP. However, the significance of this conclusion is somewhat limited due to the low quality of the available studies. Multifaceted and scientifically designed clinical studies are required to develop treatments for ITP based on Korean medicine. The results of this study could be used as basic data for further ITP studies.

Published: January 2023

Objectives: A case study about the effectiveness of integrative Korean medicine treatment in a psychogenic tremor patient.Case presentation: A 36-year-old male diagnosed with psychogenic tremor with low back pain underwent 29 days of inpatient treatment and 4 weeks of outpatient treatment. His pattern identification was a psychogenic tremor of the weakness of the heart and gall bladder (SimDamHeoGup) type. The treatments were herbal medicine and acupuncture. He took Cheongshimondam-tang for 29 days and Chunwangbosim-dan for 6 weeks when he had symptoms. He also received acupuncture for 20 minutes twice a day at GB20 (Pungji), L14 (Hapgok), HT4 (Yeongdo), PC6 (Naegwan), HT7 (Sinmun), GB34 (Yangleungcheon), ST36 (Joksamni), SP6 (Sameumgyo), and LR3 (Taechung). After 8 weeks of treatment, the Fahn Tolosa Marin rating (FTM) scale of his tremor, at rest, dropped from Grade 4 on both upper extremities, trunk, and both lower extremities at the time of admission to Grade 2 in both upper extremities and trunk, and Grade 0 in both lower extremities at the time of discharge. His Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) score decreased from 38 to 7, and his numerical rating scale (NRS) decreased from 8 to 1 for low back pain and from 9 to 2 for tremor. A follow-up visit to the hospital 2 months after the end of treatment confirmed continued symptom improvements and no significant side effects.Conclusions: This study suggests the possibility of treating psychogenic tremor using only Korean medicine treatments. Further studies with control groups and long-term follow-up are needed.

Published: January 2023

La pandemia mundial, generada por el virus responsable de la COVID, trajo consigo diversos desafíos para los centros escolares que han tenido que continuar velando por el proceso formativo de niños, niñas y jóvenes. En este contexto, el estudio busca describir la subjetividad del profesorado respecto al rediseño de la organización para dar respuesta a la necesidad de educación a distancia. La experiencia se desarrolló en un centro escolar de la Región de La Araucanía en Chile con 81 docentes de los niveles de Educación Básica y Media. La recogida de información se llevó a cabo a través de entrevistas y grupos focales como instancias de conversación con el profesorado que ayudaron a tomar consciencia sobre el proceso desarrollado. Los resultados evidencian la relevancia del liderazgo pedagógico que proporciona las condiciones organizativas y profesionales conducentes a la mejora de las prácticas docentes y, por ende, del aprendizaje del alumnado. El ejercicio de este liderazgo reconfiguró la gestión, valorándose el trabajo colaborativo entre docentes como un proceso en el cual se aprende y se transforma la práctica pedagógica. Aunque el centro escolar continúa impulsando cambios y mejoras, se concluye que la coyuntura provocada por la pandemia representa una oportunidad para avanzar hacia la conformación de una comunidad profesional de aprendizaje que está en la búsqueda permanente de prácticas que propicien el aprendizaje profundo de sus estudiantes.

Authors: Padilla Contreras Andrea Berenice , Alcocer Vázquez Eloísa
Published: January 2023

Las prácticas letradas están en constante transformación en la era digital. Por lo tanto, los docentes requieren de constante actualización para responder a nuevos retos y escenarios al enseñar y convivir con una competencia básica y transversal como es la lectoescritura. Este trabajo presenta una revisión sistemática que analiza el estado de investigación en los últimos once años (2010-2021) en Iberoamérica y Norteamérica en cuestión a la formación docente en lectoescritura en el nivel de Educación Media Superior (EMS). Se siguió el protocolo PRISMA y se establecieron criterios de inclusión y exclusión, así como se hizo una búsqueda en bases de datos tanto cerradas como abiertas tales como ERIC, Academic Search, Dialnet, entre otras. Los resultados demuestran que entre las necesidades de formación de los docentes de EMS se encuentra un énfasis en el desarrollo de competencias docentes genéricas como lo es la habilidad comunicativa y el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC). En los cursos de formación, sobresale el uso de la promoción de la lectura personal como un acto de autorreflexión y construcción de identidades lectoras; con igual importancia se detectaron los espacios de diálogo para promover trabajo colaborativo entre docentes que supere una visión individualista en la docencia. Se concluye que es importante considerar en el área de formación las plataformas emergentes y los nuevos formatos de las prácticas de lectura y escritura propias del siglo XXI para integrarlas dentro del ámbito de la escuela y motivar el desarrollo de esta competencia en el nivel de EMS.

Protection of employees in international employment contracts
Authors: Al-Enizi Ziad Kh. , Mahameed Waleed Fouad
Published: January 2023

This study investigated the level of labor protection as per the international labor contract. Thus, the way applicable law is applied to international labor relations in Jordan and other Arab countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain, and Rome I Regulation were discussed (Council of the European Union, 2008). This was done to evaluate labor protection in Jordan compared to the other countries. Attempts were made to raise the problem, delineate the ongoing situation in Jordan, and suggest suitable solutions. The analytical method, and the survey of judiciary literature and relevant legal documents showed labor protection in Jordan is not suitable. This is because the Jordanian judiciary is contradictory regarding the interpretation of occurrences related to determining the applicable law, for there are no clear, explicit legal provisions in this regard. It was also suggested that the Jordanian legislator intervenes to protect the labor and provides legal regulations on the application of law. This study has provided the fertile soil for beneficiaries to enhance labor protection to make it conform to international standards, and for future research to aim at this purpose, and deal with labor rights in remote work or work performed in more than one country.
La buena hora de la literatura colombiana en el siglo XX
Authors: Gil Rigoberto
Published: January 2023

Preguntar por las ideas y posturas críticas del joven Gabriel García Márquez en los años cuarenta, es detenerse a valorar la forma en que evolucionó la literatura colombiana y empezó a exhibir los atributos de un proceso afín a los diálogos con la cultura moderna. Basado en fuentes periodísticas de época y en textos ensayísticos de historiadores, críticos literarios, escritores y, en general, estudiosos de la cultura colombiana del siglo XX, este libro pretende dilucidar unos sentidos simbólicos y discursivos de la realidad histórica colombiana de la primera mitad de ese periodo, con respecto a una tradición literaria breve, puesta en entre-dicho por sus propios protagonistas. La ambición se hace alcanzable cuando se acude a los textos y obras de quienes hicieron parte de un debate que superó los años juveniles de García Márquez, sobre todo cuando su obra se convirtió en referente obligado para comprender lo que había sucedido en la literatura colombiana antes y después de que este se asumiera como escritor de oficio, en un momento en que apostar por ese oficio no dejaba de ser la postura excéntrica, y acaso insustancial, de un escritor nacido en la provincia.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACTObjective: To assess the predictive value for
adverse neonatal outcome of Doppler ultrasound, angiogenic factors and
multi-parametric risk-score models in women with early-onset severe
preeclampsia. Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: Maternity units in two Spanish hospitals.
Population: Women with diagnosis of early-onset severe
pre-eclampsia. Methods: A multi-parametric risk score model,
Doppler ultrasound, and levels of angiogenic factors were measured at
admission. The predictive value for adverse neonatal outcome was
calculated. Main outcome measures: Composite of adverse
neonatal outcome. Results: Of 63 women with early-onset severe
preeclampsia, 18 (28.6%) presented an adverse neonatal outcome. PlGF
showed the best discrimination between neonatal outcomes among
angiogenic factors. Good predictive values for the prediction of
neonatal complications were found with the combination of PREP-L score
with advanced Doppler (AUC ROC 0.9 95% CI 0.82-0.98]) and with PlGF
levels (AUC ROC 0.91 [95% CI 0.84-0.98]). Conclusions: 
The combination of maternal risk scoring (PREP-L score) with angiogenic
factors or fetal Doppler ultrasound at the time of diagnosis of
early-onset preeclampsia with severe features performs well in
predicting adverse neonatal outcome. Keywords: Angiogenic
factors; Early-onset severe preeclampsia; Hypertension in pregnancy;
Neonatal adverse outcome; Doppler ultrasound; Placental growth factor;

Filling the Holes of a Swiss Cheese Atrial Septal Defect: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Kao Andrew S. , Cardozo Shaun
Published: January 2023

Swiss cheese atrial septal defect (ASD) is a structural finding of the
heart used to characterize multiple or fenestrated interatrial defects
found in approximately 10% of patients with ASD.
Presence of an aneurysm in the atrial septum is an additional
malformation associated with fenestrated ASD that further increases the
risk of arrhythmia and thromboembolic events.
Detailed anatomy of the interatrial septum through 2D and 3D imaging
serves as diagnostic and therapeutic guidance. We
describe a case of Swiss Cheese ASD complicated with an atrial septal
aneurysm successfully repaired with a Cribriform Amplatzer Septal
Occluder (ASO) via percutaneous transcatheter approach.
Perioperative Echocardiography Training: A Role for Ultra-high Resolution Three-dimensional Printed Human Heart Models
Authors: Iaizzo Paul , Arango Susana , Gorbaty Benjamin , Brigham John , Perry Tjörvi E.
Published: January 2023

Echocardiography is essential for diagnosing and assessing the severity
of perioperative structural and/or functional heart disease. Yet,
educational opportunities to better understand echocardiography-based
cardiac anatomy remain limited by the two-dimensional display, lack of
anatomic details, variability of heart models, and/or costs and global
availability of training. 3D printing using data from patient CT or MRI
datasets has been used for creating effective teaching materials,
although often it is limited by the resolutions. In this report, we
discuss the development of ultra-high resolution 3D printed human hearts
using ex vivo microcomputed tomography (μCT) and describe its
utility for teaching both basic and advanced recommended views by the
American Society of Echocardiography.
The effect of epidural analgesia on maternal and early neonatal outcomes, in Qatar State.
Authors: Salama Elsayed Ibrahim , Abdelhady Ismail Sabry
Published: January 2023

Purpose: We aim to describe the maternal and neonatal morbidities
associated with labour epidural analgesia. Methods: This was a
retrospective cohort data analysis of PEARL-Peristat Study data, Hamad
Medical Corporation- QATAR STATE. The sample for this study comprised of
births for the year 2017 in Women’s Hospital. Women who had EA compared
to women with no EA during labour. We analyzed 7721 singleton vaginal
births at 24 weeks and above conducted in Woman’s hospital (WH) between
January 2017 and April 2018. We then excluded babies with major
congenital abnormalities, stillbirths, immediate neonatal death in
labour room or operating theatre, birth weights <2500g or
>4000g, gestational age at birth <37 weeks or
>41+6 weeks, women with diabetes and hypertension,
precipitate labour where total labour duration was less than 180 minutes
and other missing data. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM
SPSS 26 statistical software with statistical significance set at
p<0.05. Results: The tables showed a comparison between the
group which received EA and the other group which did not receive it.
There was a significant association between EA and many risks of mother
pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. On the other side, no significant
correlation was found between EA and other variables. Conclusion: The
use of EA was associated with many maternal and neonatal-perinatal
risks. It may prolong all stages of labour, precipitates instrumental
delivery need, increase NICU admission for different risk factors
including respiratory distress and rule out sepsis. We recommend
including these risk factors in counseling, before choosing EA.
Improved monoclonal antibody neutralization for Omicron sublineages BA.2.75, BF.7 and BQ.1
Authors: Khairnar Krishna , Tamboli Ekant , Salsekar Lekha , Rahangdale Shefali
Published: January 2023

The mortality rate due to COVID-19 in immunocompromised cases is
considerably high. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy is essential in
managing SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially in immunocompromised cases.
The mutation in the spike protein RBD region of the SARS-CoV-2 leads to
the substitution of amino acids resulting in an altered ACE2 binding
affinity. The mAbs must be tested in-vitro using standard neutralisation
assays designed against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants to estimate the mAb
therapy efficacy. Based on already available data on the mAb efficacy
for known SARS-CoV-2 variants, it is plausible to draw inferences for
other closely related SARS-CoV-2 variants in circulation owing to the
similar spike protein RBD amino acid sequence. In this article, we have
attempted to analyse the data of mAb efficacy tested against SARS-CoV-2
variants and extrapolate on other emerging omicron sublineages like
BA.2.75, BF.7 and BQ.1.
Carbon and water relationships change nonlinearly along elevation gradient in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau
Authors: Wang Yi , Lü Yihe , Lü Da , Wang Cong , Wu Xing , Yin Lichang , Wang Xiaofeng
Published: January 2023

The terrain elevation affects the carbon and water ecosystem services by
redistributing heat and energy. The Qinghai Tibet Plateau (QTP) is known
as the “Third Pole of the Earth” and the “Water Tower of Asia,”
which has the most significant elevation range in the world. However,
existing knowledge and understanding of the complex elevation gradient
(EG) effects on carbon and water services and their relationships (ESR)
are still limited. Here, the moving window method, generalized additive
model (GAM), and structural equation model are used to explore ESR
dynamics along the EG. From 2000 to 2018, the annual mean values of
carbon storage (CS) and water yield (WY) in the QTP were 50.45 tc/ha and
246.14 mm·a-1, respectively. The results from GAMs show that ESR has a
nonlinear relationship with the EG. With the elevation rising, the
relationship between EG and CS transforms from positive to negative, and
the overall ESR changes from synergy to trade-off. In the QTP, the
interpretation degree of natural meteorological factors to CS and WY is
higher than socioeconomic factors, while the latter is more important in
affecting the ESR. The research results call attention to the influence
of the four elevation thresholds (1200, 2900, 5200, and 6500 m) on ESR
nonlinearity, carbon water trade-off with CS loss in the south-central
part of the plateau under the EG, as well as the coordination of the
services in the northeast and southern region. This study can serve as a
valuable reference for considering complex terrain gradients to mitigate
their potential adverse effects on ecosystem services and human
well-being.

Authors: Umme Salma Akbar
Published: January 2023

Purpose: To report a case of Ahmed valve implantation in pseudophakic refractory paediatric glaucoma. Case Report: A 12 year old boy came to the Glaucoma clinic of Chittagong eye infirmary and training complex with secondary glaucoma resistant to pharmacological treatment in his right eye. Five years before, he underwent cataract extraction with implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens in his right eye. On ocular examination, his BCVA was 6/60 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left eye. His IOP was 50mmHg in right eye and 16mmHg in the left eye on maximal anti-glaucoma medication. He then underwent Ahmed valve implantation in his right eye. Following the surgery, his visual acuity in the right eye was 6/36 and IOP was 12mmHg. Conclusion: Ahmed valve implantation is a safe and effective modality of treatment for refractory glaucoma. Proper diagnosis and timely intervention can save the eye.
Contribution of Optical Coherence Tomography in the Diagnosis of Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy in a Young Adult at Iota-Teaching Hospital
Authors: KM Sidibe
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPCV) is a common cause of hemorrhage of the retinal pigmentary epithelium and neurosensory retinal detachment of oxidative origin. Its diagnosis is more easily made by Optical Coherence Tomography and Fluorescence Angiography or ICG. The aim of our work is to highlight the accuracy of OCT and AGF in the diagnosis of IPCV. We report a clinical case received in February 2019 in the vitreoretinal surgery and functional exploration of the visual apparatus department of the IOTA-Teaching Hospital. Case Report: A young man with a personal pathological history of arterial hypertension was referred to the department for macular OCT for central serous chorioretinitis. OCT and intravenous fluorescein angiography showed features of idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. The patient received anti-VEGF injections followed by significant visual improvement. Discussion: The pathogenesis of IPCV is not clearly elaborated, but it appears to be primarily due to an abnormality of choroidal vasculature. Conclusion: IPCV can occur in young subjects and leads to severe impairment of visual function. These severe visual impairments are resolved by the correct use of anti VEGF associated or not with the Argon laser.
Visual Light Leak in High-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation Hole: A Photon-Electron Theory for Living Tissue for Explaining Myopia
Authors: A Lee
Published: January 2023

If the frequency of the photon exceeds the threshold, the photon has enough energy to strike the electron away and forms a hole in living tissue include the eye. Longer time of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation will cause more holes and a larger radius of holes. Some visual light leak through the hole and cannot be refracted on the macula, this is myopia symptom of blurred vision, shortening the distance of the eye and the object will include more visual light into cornea and lens, this is myopia another symptom of nearsightedness. The longer eye axis is caused by strike of high energy photon. Blue light and X-ray from screen are two kinds of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation which can shot hole in eye and cause myopia. Healing the shot hole can cure myopia.

Öyle ki Melik Rıdvân döneminde yaptıkları propaganda ve etkin siyaset ile yönetimde dahi rol oynamışlardır. Hatta Melik Rıdvân’ın atabeği ve veziri olan Cenâhüddevle ile arasını bozarak Hıms’a gitmesine neden olmuşlardır.

El Hekim el Müneccim sonrası İsmâilî baş daisi olan Ebû Tahir zamanında da Melik Rıdvân’dan destek alarak propagandalarını Halep’in güneyindeki Cebelü’s-Sümmak ve civarında yürüterek kendilerine bir toprak parçası edinebilmişler hatta yönetimde giderek söz sahibi olmuşlardır. Bölgede sosyal ve siyasi huzursuzluğa sebep olmuşlardır. Öyle ki Halep’e gelen tüccarların kervanlarının yağmaları ve Melik Rıdvân üzerindeki nüfuzları halkın dikkatini çekmiştir. İsmâilîlerin bölgedeki faaliyetleri Sünnî Halep halkı tarafından yakından takip edilmiş, zaman zaman tepkilere neden olmuş, halk bir grup İsmâilîyeyi öldürmüştür. Bu arada Melik Rıdvân’ın meşruiyeti sarsılmıştır. Melik Rıdvân ise İsmâilîlerin desteğini alarak Cenâhüddevle ve Musul valisi Emîr Mevdûd’u öldürtmesi bölgedeki gerginliği anlaşarak değişken siyaset yürütmelerine sebep olmuştur.

Bu makalede, Halep Selçuklu Meliki Rıdvân b.Tutuş döneminin siyasi ve dini süreci ele alınırken, Nizarî İsmâilîlerin Suriye bölgesinde yapılanması ve diğer etkin güçlere karşı uyguladığı değişken siyaset, Melik Rıdvân b. Tutuş ile kurdukları ittifak sebepleri ve sonuçları ile çok yönlü değerlendirilecektir.

I. Gıyâseddin Keyhusrev, Türkiye Selçuklu Devleti’nin kudretli hükümdarlarından biridir. Çünkü devletin siyasi yapılanmasının temelleri bu hükümdar tarafından atılmıştır. Ancak tarihte çok az hükümdarın başına gelebilecek olaylar onun başına gelmiştir. Gıyâseddin Keyhusrev, babası II. Kılıç Arslan’ın vefatından sonra Türkiye Selçuklu tahtına çıkmış fakat kardeşleri onun hükümdarlığını kabul etmemiştir. Ağabeyi Rükneddin II. Süleyman Şah, başkent Konya’yı kuşatmış, çetin bir mücadele sonrasında Gıyâseddin Keyhusrev’den Türkiye Selçuklu tahtını devralmıştır. Tahtı kaybeden Gıyâseddin Keyhusrev, saltanatı geri almak ümidiyle Anadolu’da bulunan kardeşlerinin yanında bazı diğer hükümdarları ve yöneticileri ziyaret etmiştir. Nihai olarak Bizans İmparatorluğu’nun başkenti İstanbul’a gitmiş ve tekrar tahta geçinceye kadar uzun bir süre burada kalmıştır. Bu çalışmada Gıyâseddin Keyhusrev’in tahtan indirilmesinden sonra Anadolu’nun her bir bölgesinde veya şehrinde bulunan kardeşlerine ve diğer devletlere yaptığı seyahatler ile İstanbul’da bulunduğu süre boyunca başına gelen olaylar ele alınmıştır. Bu seyahatlerinin muhtevası üzerinde durulmuş, yapmış olduğu ziyaretler ile ulaşmak istediği amaca değinilmiş ve bu gayeye ulaşıp ulaşamadığının değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır.

ABD ve Çin arasındaki jeopolitik mücadelenin küresel ve bölgesel politikaları yansımalarının en çok hissedildiği bölge Orta Asya bölgesidir. Türkiye’nin de son dönemde Orta Asya ülkeleri ile olan ilişkilerinin derinleşip gelişmesi, ABD-Çin-Rusya arasındaki jeopolitik çekişmenin de etkisiyle daha da dikkatle izlenmektedir. Türkiye, Rusya'nın geleneksel olarak kendi ilgi alanı olarak gördüğü, Çin'in ise hızla girmekte olduğu bir bölgede daha da etkili olmak istemektedir. Ankara’nın bu adımı doğal olarak Moskova’yı ve Pekin’i rahatsız etmektedir. Tabiatıyla, Türkiye’nin bu bölgede ne Rusya ne de Çin ile tek başına rekabete girmesi realist bir anlayış değildir. Fakat bölgede çatışan çıkarlar ve jeopolitik gelişmeler, Türkiye'nin daha çok ön plana çıkmasını sağlamaktadır. Özellikle ABD-Rusya ve Çin arasındaki jeopolitik çekişme Türkiye’ye fırsatlar doğurmaktadır ve bu durumun Türk Dünyasına yansımaları olmaktadır.

Inventory of Ring Structures in N- and W-Morocco based on Satellite Data
Authors: Theilen-Willige Barbara
Published: January 2023

This study is focused on the detection of circular features with different sizes, origins, and state of erosion as well as on their surrounding tectonic pattern based on satellite images of North- and West- Morocco. Sentinel 2- and Landsat 8/9-images and Sentinel 1 radar data help to identify larger ring structures and smaller circular features. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and the DEM derived morphometric maps support these investigations in a GeoInformation System (GIS) embedded environment. The evaluations of the various satellite data, especially after digital image processing of the thermal bands, contribute to the inventory larger ring structures with diameters of 10 km up to more than 50 km related to magmatic intrusions or to salt domes in the subsurface with varying grades of erosion. Some of these larger ring structures are only visible on morphometric maps, traced by circular arrangements of slope gradients or a concentric drainage pattern. Smaller circular features such as volcanic features (cinder cones, calderas, maars), and sinkholes in karst environments with diameters ranging from several 10 m up to more than 500 m were digitized as well. As karst phenomena, volcanic features or halotectonic movements may cause damage to the infrastructure the inventory of ring structures should be part of a natural hazard GIS.
