Monitoring migrating raptors is among the most cost-effective and simple methods for forecasting shift in the ecosystem and environment. The Western Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Accipitriformes, Accipitridae) represents a widely wintering, on-passage raptor over Iraq's southern Mesopotamian marshlands. However, recent information related to this species’ population trend, as well as its spatial and temporal migration patterns, is not fully known. From October 2021–June 2022, nine ornithological field surveys were undertaken in the Central Marshes (UNESCO Site, RAMSAR Site, and Iraq's National Park). Three transect lines were chosen, and the surveying plot covered 40,000 hectares (400 Km2). Our recent surveys recorded a total of 64 harriers passing over the Central Marshes. The species density was determined using a distance sampling method; perpendicular distances were gauged using a digital range finder. During our surveys, the Central Marshes hosted a migratory population of ≈3,508-21,499 harriers. In addition, we assessed the breeding status of this bird species in the surveyed area; however, no confirmed breeding was found. Furthermore, illegal hunting/trapping were identified as the main threat facing the species in Iraq.

In this study, we provide an analytical comparison combined with morphological characteristic of eggs and newly hatched precocial chicks of three lapwing species, Red–owattled Lapwing Vanellus indicus (Boddaert, 1783), Spur-winged Lapwing V. spinosus (Linnaeus, 1758), and White-tailed Lapwing V. leucurus (Lichtenstein, 1823) that breed in Al-Malih Wetland in Babylon Province, Middle of Iraq. Occupied nests were located during the breeding season (March–June 2023), breeding events (e.g., adult courtship, marking of the breeding territories, nest-site selection, nest building, and egg incubation) were carefully observed. A total of 48 eggs from a total of 12 lapwing nests (4 eggs for each nest, 4 nests for each species) were cautiously examined and measured. Lapwing chicks and eggs show many morphological differences. Morphometrical data were tested using ANOVA, calculating the Mean, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (CV). The mean and SD for egg length were 46.25±0.68 mm for V. indicus, 42.25±0.96 mm for V. spinosus (Linnaeus, 1758), and 42.28±0.67 mm for V. leucurus. The egg breadth mean and SD were 33.34±0.84 mm for V. indicus, 31.43±0.55 mm for V. spinosus (Linnaeus, 1758), and 31.42±0.67 mm for V. leucurus. The egg weight Mean and SD were 21.39±0.91 gm for V. indicus, 16.51±0.73 gm for V. spinosus (Linnaeus, 1758), and15.87±0.50 gm for V. leucurus. The low value of CV (≤5%) may indicate a close hereditary clan in the birds that belong to the same genus. In addition, the results indicate that there are considerable differences in the morphometrical measurement of the three species of Vanellus. Eggs, as all of these variables have ≤5% CV. Our preliminary results, which were obtained for the first time, may contribute to the conservation efforts of these wetlands-dwelling birds in Iraq.

The importance of understanding auxiliary insects in agroecosystems has become increasingly necessary due to the overuse of chemical products that disturb their presence and sometimes lead to their extermination without our awareness of their existence. The objective of this research project is to conduct the first inventory of aphid parasitoids in the Aphidiinae subfamily in orange orchards in the Guelma Region (Eastern Algeria) and to estimate the number of species present in this region using four non-parametric estimators. The results revealed the presence of ten species, namely Aphidius matricariae (Haliday, 1834), Aphidius sp., A. ervi (Haliday, 1834), Binodoxys angelicae (Haliday, 1833), B. acalephae (Marshall, 1896), Diaeretiella rapae (McIntosh, 1855), Ephedrus plagiator (Nees, 1811), Praon volucre (Haliday, 1833), Lipolexis gracilis (Foerster, 1862), and Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson, 1880) .Among these species, L. testaceipes, B. angelicae, and A. matricariae were the most dominant during the study period. Binodoxys acalephae, despite being present in small numbers, had a ubiquitous ecological status, while A. matricariae, A. ervi, B. angelicae, D. rapae, and L. testaceipes maintained a constant status. According to the non-parametric estimators, the number of species varied, but the average was 11.39 ± 0.54 species, indicating that the richness could increase to 12 with a sampling accuracy of 87.74%. Despite their low abundance, the richness of Aphidiinae species in the orange orchards could be used in a biological control context.
MORPHO-HISTOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE PROVENTRICULUS OF EURASIAN MARSH HARRIER CIRCUS AERUGINOSUS (LINNAEUS, (1766 (AVES, ACCIPITRIFORMES, ACCIPITRIDAE)

The study aimed to describe the anatomical, histological, and histochemical structure of the proventriculuc of adult male Eurasian marsh harrier, Circus aeruginosus (Linnaeus, 1766) (Accipitriformes, Accipitridae). Six birds were used for this study. The histological sections of proventriculus were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid Schiff, and alcain blue. The proventriculus, representing the upper stomach, appeared as a conical structure with a thick wall connecting the caudal end of the thoracic esophagus to the gizzard. It had a light brown color. Microscopic examination revealed that the proventriculus wall consists of the outer tunica serosa, the tunica muscularis, tunica sub mucosa, and the inner tunica mucosa. The mucous layer exhibited folds, and the sulci represented many longitudinal folds with uniform lengths on its luminal surface. A single layer of columnar cells with oval-shaped nuclei made up the lining epithelium. The second layer was the laminal layer propria, composed of a relatively dense network of connective tissue. A thin, discontinuous layer of circularly arranged smooth muscle fibers in the muscularis mucosa separates the lamina propria from the sub mucosa. The submucosa appears as a very thick layer of dense vascular connective tissue, sub-mucosal compound tubuloalveolar glands form the major bulk of this tunica. These glands are arranged in one to three series of lobules that appear in different shapes. Muscularis externa consists of smooth muscle fibers arranged in a thick inner circular layer and a thin discontinuous outer longitudinal layer. The tunica serosa was a well-developed layer constituted by loose connective tissue covered by a single layer of flattened epithelial cells of the mesothelium. The proventriculus has some similarities to other bird species as well as some variations to other species, which may be explained by its nourishing food and behavior.

The Zagros Mountain range in western Iran is an area of species endemism within the Irano-Anatolian biodiversity hotspot. A couple of relict and morphologically isolated species have been reported for the Zagros Mountains, yet their distribution patterns in relation to the geological and climatic history of the region are not fully understood. Clinopodium kallaricum (Jamzad) Bordbar, 2019 (Lamiaceae), Hypericum dogonbadanicum Assadi, 1984 (Hypericaceae), and Iranoaster bachtiaricus (Mozaff.) Kaz. Osaloo, Farhani & Mozaff. 2018 (Asteraceae) are local endemic species restricted to Zagros with no clear affinities to the Irano-Turanian or other Northern Hemisphere temperate species. Previous studies suggested some afromontane relations for these species, beyond the Saharo-Sindian lowlands. Here, we provide dated phylogenies for these three species, to assess the most probable drivers behind this pattern of distribution. Our results represent that the split between these taxa and their relatives is not contemporaneous, implying different biogeographical histories. I. bachtiaricus originated in the Middle Miocene, while C. kallaricum and H. dogonbadanicum are relatively younger (late Miocene early Pliocene). The divergence of these taxa coincided with the major geological and climatic events of the Miocene, mainly the collision of the Afro-Arabia and Eurasia plates in 18-16 Mya and the aridification of the Sahara (started in 11-7 Mya), followed by a shift in the vegetation of the Sahara from subtropical/steppe to arid desert. The possible relict nature of these species is discussed, and the role of the Saharo-Sindian Region as a vicariant agent is highlighted, which could have subdivided formerly uniform populations and subsequently accelerated the allopatric speciation.

Productive systems, in the rural context, acquire importance from a social and economic perspective; their approach as a study phenomenon allows us to observe and identify weaknesses and opportunities in the actions of local productive activity. Thus, the productive system of the Guano canton in Ecuador is a structured set of agricultural, livestock and, to a lesser extent, industrial activities. The research aims to determine the strategies for generating business units in the rural productive activity of the Guano canton, is based on a non-experimental research method, descriptive type, and assumes a qualitative and quantitative approach. The sample was of 244 producers out of a population of 21 851. To obtain data, a survey was applied with dichotomous, structured questions and a Likert scale. The results show that family organization, investment and incentives to the rural productive sector are the strategies that contribute significantly to the establishment of productive units. Consequently, the importance of productive units in the rural development of the Guano canton is relevant.

The general objective of this research is to determine how the externalities generated by virtual education are related to the academic performance of the students of the Faculty of Economics (Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco) in the year 2022, using a quantitative approach as methodology, based on a non-experimental design and with a descriptive correlational scope. The subjects of the study were 252 economics students, and the sampling was simple random. The data collection techniques were the virtual survey by Google Forms. To identify how the externalities generated by virtual education are related to academic performance and whether they have a significant effect on the academic performance of students, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was applied, since the study sample is greater than 50 and the significance results are 0.000 < 0.05 for each indicator, therefore, we worked with the Rho-Spearman statistic, using SPSS version 26, a p-value of 0.001 lower than 0.05 was obtained. Concluding that there is a significant relationship between the externalities generated by virtual education and the academic performance of the students of Economics - UNSAAC in the year 2022. In addition, it was identified that the social and economic externalities generated by virtual education that are significant in academic performance are the study environment, mental health, resilience, quality of internet connection, time savings, electricity costs, student internet service and investment in computer equipment.
Genetic algorithms for the optimization of pipeline systems for liquid distribution (2)
Authors: Narváez Paulo César , Galeano Haiver
Published: June 2024

This is the second of two articles presenting a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to obtain an optimal design, from an economical and operational point of view, of a pipeline system for the distribution of liquids, based on criteria such as complying with the laws of preservation of mass and energy, volume of flow requirements in the points of consumption where pressure is known, restriction in pressure value in those points of the system where it is unknown as well as in the velocity which must be under the erosion limit.  In this article the traditional techniques for designing a GA in this type of problems are combined with some ideas that have not been applied to this field previously. The proposed GA allows for the sizing of liquid distribution systems that include pipelines, nodes for consumption and provision, tanks, pumping equipment, nozzles, control valves and accessories.  The first article of this series (Galeano, 2003), presents the different formulations found in literature for the design of networks through optimization techniques and formulates mathematically, the optimization problem. In this article, the characteristics of the GA are specified and it is applied to solve the Alperovits and Shamir (1977) network and for a fireproof network, which allowed testing some of the characteristics of the model that are not found in the literature, such as the possibility of including pumping equipment, aspersion nozzles and accessories.  In addition, the contribution of the components and sensitivity are analyzed in order to investigate some characteristics and parameters of the implemented GA.

Published: June 2024

The past decade has been the heyday of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL), with increased use of mobile applications (apps) as learning platforms. Despite the central focus of mobile apps on particular language skills such as vocabulary (e.g., Duolingo) and pronunciation (e.g., BoldVoice), few have factored in both learners and teachers. Lirica is an engaging mobile app that fosters language learning through songs in five languages. Given the pedagogical and psychological affordances of songs and the personalized learning environment offered by mobile apps, this tech review seeks to present an overview of the Lirica app and its potential for language learning while tackling its limitations.
Influenza epidemics in Europe, nursing homes and vaccination of healthcare workers
Authors: Goldstein Edward
Published: June 2024

During the 2022-2023 season, influenza circulation levels in the European Union (EU) have increased substantially compared to the 2021-2022 season but were still generally somewhat lower compared to pre-pandemic influenza seasons. Studies have shown that influenza epidemics in the EU countries were associated with a heavy toll of mortality for different principal causes of death including respiratory, cardiac and other causes. Mortality data also suggest that residents of long-term care facilities represent a sizeable share of all cases of death in the EU, and an even higher share among deaths stemming from infections with respiratory viruses, including influenza. Influenza vaccination coverage for healthcare workers in nursing homes in many EU countries is moderate to low, whereas evidence in the literature suggests that higher influenza vaccination coverage levels for healthcare workers result in a significant reduction in all-cause mortality during influenza seasons, both in nursing home residents as well as in hospital patients, though the magnitude of that effect varies with influenza season. Here, we review the above evidence, and as well as the effect of different strategies for boosting influenza vaccination coverage in healthcare workers, such as mandatory vaccination, educational initiatives/outreach activities and availability of on-sight vaccination.

WOMEN'S TESTIMONY IN THE QUR'AN IN ASGHAR ALI ENGINEER'S PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Nada Rahmatina
Published: June 2024

Discussions about gender issues in contemporary times are never-ending topics, including in the realm of Islamic studies. This study examines women's testimonies in Asghar Ali Engineer's thoughts, which are analyzed using Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutical phenomenological framework. Engineer's thoughts regarding women's testimony are important to discuss because of the dismantling of the discourse he carried out regarding verses with gender connotations in the Al-Qur'an, which often do not follow the mainstream interpretation. This research is library research with qualitative research methods. The primary source for this research is Asghar Ali Engineer's interpretation of verses from women's testimonies, while the secondary sources used are other literature sources that are relevant to the research, both in the form of books and journal articles. This research aims to track and explore Asghar Ali Engineer's thoughts regarding the verses in women's testimonies. The author uses Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology theory in analyzing Asghar Ali's thoughts. The results of this research were the engineer's re-reading of the verse about women's testimony, namely QS. Al-Baqarah/2: 282. In Paul Ricoer's concept of hermeneutical phenomenology, engineers go through a process of decontextualization-recontextualization in order to obtain new meanings that are relevant to the current context. In the decontextualization process, Engineer explained the socio-cultural conditions at the time the verse was revealed, which implied that women lacked knowledge and experience regarding business, so that one additional female witness was needed as a reminder, and it did not fully mean that women's status was half that of men. The recontextualization process includes three stages, namely semantic, reflexive, and existential. In the modern context where women are more educated about financial matters, even more so than men, there is nothing to prevent a woman's position as a witness from being equal to that of a man.

Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e correlacional de natureza exploratória, com abordagem quantitativa, em que foi utilizada a escala The World Health Organization Quality of Life-Versão Cabo-verdiana, adaptada para idosos Cabo-Verdianos. A recolha de dados efetuou-se entre novembro e dezembro de 2020. Participaram nesta investigação 56 idosos. Os resultados evidenciaram que todos os domínios se correlacionaram de forma significativa com a faceta geral de qualidade de vida, com exceção do domínio ambiente. Observou-se, que ao nível da escolaridade, houve apenas diferenças estatisticamente significativas em relação ao domínio físico (?2 = 7,78 e p = 0,02). Em relação às doenças coexistentes, existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas no domínio relações sociais (?2 = 16,77 e p = 0,00), no domínio sexualidade (?2 = 12,04 e p = 0,02). A variável idade evidencia a existência de uma associação estatisticamente significativa nos domínios físico (r = - 0,281) e sexualidade (r = - 0,270). Da variável estado civil constatou-se que existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas dos domínios físico (?2 = 11,23 e p = 0,02) e sexualidade (?2 = 21,95 e p = 0,00). Concluiu-se, que os fatores sociodemográficos económicos e clínicos podem influenciar de forma negativa os diversos domínios da qualidade de vida, com exceção do género e rendimento familiar. Ressalta-se a necessidade de conhecer e intervir nestes fatores promovendo ações com enfoque na melhoria de qualidade de vida dos idosos que frequentam centros de dia da cidade da Praia.
Bridging the Gap: Challenges and Solutions in Online Nephrology Education
Authors: Mohamad M Habli
Published: June 2024

The outbreak of COVID-19 has created an unprecedented situation that has accelerated online education in areas like nephrology, which are traditionally served by onsite training. Efforts to educate clinicians remotely provide convenience and flexibility but may leave many open questions when it comes to how well-trained professionals maybe after completing their programs online. This review paper has emphasized the deleterious effects of online nephrology education and identified a number of ways in which it can be problematic such as lack of hands-on training, less patient interface, lack of proper supervision, and inconsistent quality of programs. The ability to make a difference, however, is further restricted by technological barriers and resource constraints. Whilst these programs tend to focus on creating knowledgeable graduates, they often fail to provide the clinical exposure necessary for preparedness. Hybrid programs - which combine online courses with clinical training in person are required to deliver high-quality nephrology care.

Published: June 2024

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant shift from traditional, in-person teaching to online education, which has become indispensable. Nowadays, online learning is increasingly popular, encompassing educational programs delivered exclusively through digital platforms like video conferences and virtual classrooms. The flexibility of online education allows students to learn at their own pace and according to their schedule, but it also poses potential disadvantages. In this article, we explore the impact of online teaching on the practical subject of biology and students’ perceptions of education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools in Slovakia. Our research focuses on evaluating the progress of online biology teaching, examining methods of knowledge testing, and assessing both the positives and negatives.
Ugly Enough to be Safe from Kidnappers: "Pragmatism," "Pragmaticism," and the Ethics of Terminology
Authors: Haack Susan
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Haack's topic here is the terms "pragmatism" and "pragmaticism," why Peirce felt the need for the new term, which was "ugly enough to be safe from kidnappers," and why he thought its ugliness was actually a good thing. What was the origin of pragmatism as a philosophical movement? When, where, and how did the word "pragmatism" get into philosophical circulation? Why does Peirce conclude, only a few years after he had taken his bows as the founder of the movement, that he needed a new word for the original idea? Who were the kidnappers he worried about? Why did he think the ugliness of this new word a good thing? How does this relate to his distaste for "studying in a literary spirit"? And, as always, what can we learn from all this?—a good deal, Haack discovers, about the state of philosophy today.
Charles S. Peirce and Chinese Philosophy: A Comparative Study
Authors: Jiang Yi
Published: June 2024

Abstract: In this paper, I situate C.S. Peirce's theory of knowledge and action in comparison to Chinese philosophy. My argument is that the comparison makes it important to understand Peirce's abduction and his maxim as a much more potent force in comparative philosophy. Peirce's priority of practical effects over theory is similar to Confucian conceptions of truth and action. Jon Alan Schmidt has summarized sixty-one formulations of Peirce's maxim, from which I draw the four main expressions of the maxim here. According to Peirce, understanding the meaning of concepts in terms of actual effects is the core element of the maxim. This view can be seen as an echo in Wang Yangming's theory of the unity of knowledge and action. The theory is essentially a moral humanist philosophy. It integrates morality, ethics, and politics. It is similar to Peirce's pragmatic maxim, as James Liszka has explained. Finally, reflecting on the recent studies of Peirce's semiotics in China, I discuss the significance of Peirce's pragmatism in Chinese philosophy.

Published: June 2024

Breast cancer is a complex disease resulting from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, and addressing them constitutes one of the major challenges in the treatment of this disease. Resistance to therapies represents a significant obstacle to achieving effective results in the treatment of breast cancer, multiple therapeutic approaches are available to address this disease in patients. The majority of breast cancer cases show estrogen receptor (ERα) expression, and treatments targeting this pathway are critical in their approach. However, the emergence of resistance to these treatments is a common problem, leading to cancer recurrence and relapse. This review provides an overview of the mechanisms contributing to drug resistance, highlighting the relevance of epigenetic factors as promising therapeutic targets to address clinical resistance. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of further research to find effective strategies that can overcome this resistance and improve treatment outcomes in patients suffering from breast cancer.

Published: June 2024

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) comprises a heterogeneous series of associated cardiac anomalies that involve the RV outflow tract in which both of the great arteries arise entirely or predominantly from the RV. The anatomic dysmorphology is variable, and there may be associated cardiac anomalies. We report here a case of a complex cyanotic heart disease in a 14 year old adolescent comprising of DORV accompanied by multiple congenital cardiac anomalies: single atrium, complete AV canal defect, severe AV valve regurgitation, D-malposition of great arteries, subaortic obstruction and pulmonary valvular stenosis.

Published: June 2024

Inspite of the broadly available efficacious lipid-lowering drugs, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease still remains a universal health issue. LDL-C represents an essential part in pathological process of atherosclerotic disease. High concentrations of plasma have been correlated with 50-70 % increase in progression of atherosclerotic plagues in patients with or without undistinguished cardiovascular risk. FDA has approved Novartis Leqvio (Inclisiran) first -in class siRNA to lower cholesterol and maintain it low with two doses a year. Inclisiran is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule, targeting the hepatic production of PCSK9 results in lowering of LDL. The review displays the current scientific information referring to inclisiran as a new favourable weapon in the control of hypercholesterolemia and insights to its global market forecast.

Published: June 2024

Dalam rangka memberikan pelayanan dan kemudahan kepada Wajib Pajak, Direktorat Jenderal Pajak (DJP) melakukan reformasi di bidang proses pembayaran pajak yaitu menggunakan E-billing. E-billing memiliki beberapa keunggulan salah satunya memudahkan wajib pajak dan menyederhanakan pembayaran pajak bagi penggunaan E-billing. Namun tentunya tidak terlepas dari berbagai permasalahan seperti server down, kegagalan registrasi, kegagalan aktivasi. Dari hasil penelitian penulis penerapan E-billing belum sepenuhnya efisien dan efektif sehingga perlu dipertimbangkan kembali apakah sistem pembayaran  E-billing ini dapat diperkenalkan secara penuh di Kabupaten Sinjai. Seperti yang di ketahui bahwa tidak semua orang memiliki akses internet bahkan masih ada yang belum paham soal teknologi, sehingga hal ini mempengaruhi efektifitas E-billing. Maka DJP melakukan sosialisasi pengenalan E-Billing agar berjalan efektif dan efisien. Penerapan ini dilakukan secara merata agar tidak terjadi penyimpangan di antara masyarakat Kabupaten Sinjai. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data dan menggunakan Studi kepustakaan. Sumber data penelitian ini adalah portal berita online lokal  yang terpercaya dan kredibel seperti  Anoini.com, pajak.go.id dan artikel jurnal yang relavan. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini mengunakan deskriptif. Tahapan dalam analisis data yakni pengumpulan data , seleksi data, analisis antar-variabel dan verifikasi data, serta penafsiran dan penarikan kesimpulan.
Kaupunkiperintö kokemusarvona
Authors: Pentti Piia
Published: June 2024

Tarkastelen artikkelissani asukkaiden tapoja arvottaa kaupunkiperintöä. Kiinnitän erityistä huomioita kokemusarvoon, jota tarkastelen suhteessa sosiaaliseen arvoon ja auktorisoituun perintödiskurssiin. Kysyn, mitä kokemusarvon kautta välittyvät arkiset arvottamisen tavat kertovat asukkaiden suhteesta kaupunkiperintöön sekä miten kokemusarvon huomioiminen muovaa käsitystämme kaupunkiperinnöstä. Käytän esimerkkitapauksenani Naantalin kaupunkia. Artikkelin empiirinen aineisto koostuu 26 teemakirjoituksesta ja kolmesta yhdessäkuljeskelusta. Osoitan, kuinka kaupunkiperinnön tarkastelu kokemusarvona auttaa tekemään näkyväksi kaupunkiperintöön kytkeytyviä jännitteitä ja konflikteja. Koska yksilön paikkasuhteella on aina kehollinen perusta, kehitän kokemusarvon käsitettä huomioimaan paremmin kaupunkiperintöön kytkeytyvän kehollisuuden. Tarkastelu rikastuttaa ymmärrystä kaupunkiperinnöstä ja paljastaa vivahteita, joille naantalilaisessa yhteisössä vahvasti jaettu auktorisoitu perintödiskurssi ei vielä jätä tilaa.
Karjalais-suomalaisen tietäjän luonnon nostatus ja henkipossessio kognitiivisten ominaisuuksien näkökulmasta
Authors: Kohonen Siria
Published: June 2024

Karjalais-suomalaisten perinteisten rituaaliasiantuntijoiden eli tietäjien toiminnassa yksi tyypillinen osa loitsurituaalia on ollut tietäjän luonnon nostatus eli haltioituminen. Luontonsa nostattanut loitsija esitti loitsua jonkinlaisessa ekstaattisessa ja hurjistuneessa tilassa, ja tätä pidettiin oleellisena riitin onnistumisen kannalta. Folkloristi Anna-Leena Siikala on kuvannut nostatetun luonnon tai tietäjän haltioitumisen tilaa motoriseksi transsiksi, joka muistuttaa joiltain osin Itä- ja Keski-Siperian kansojen šamanistisissa rituaaleissa esiintyvää henkipossessiota eli ulkoisen hengen asettumista ihmisen kehoon ja sen kontrolloimista (Siikala 1992, 208–209).
Siikalan esittämän vertauksen inspiroimana tarkastelen tässä artikkelissa, millä tavoin tietäjän luonnon nostatuksen ja haltioitumisen kuvaukset vertautuvat kulttuurienvälisiin tapoihin tulkita tietynlaista käyttäytymistä henkipossessioksi. Kiinnitän erityisesti huomiota siihen, millä tavoin henkipossessioilmiöiden tulkintaan liittyvät ihmismielen kognitiiviset ominaisuudet mahdollisesti ilmenevät tarkastelemissani kuvauksissa. Teoreettisena viitekehyksenä käytän antropologi Emma Cohenin teoriaa henkipossessioilmiöiden tulkinnasta kognition näkökulmasta (Cohen 2008). Tutkimusaineisona käytän 1800-luvulla ja 1900-luvun alussa tallennettua kansanusko-, uskomustarina- ja loitsuaineistoa Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seuran arkistosta, ja tutkimusmenetelmäni ovat aineistolähtöinen sekä teoriaohjautunut sisällönanalyysi.
Analyysini perusteella luonnon nostatusta ja haltioitumista ei yleensä ole käsitetty sellaiseksi henkipossessioksi, jossa jokin ulkoinen henki valtaisi ihmisen kehon. Sen sijaan tilannetta voidaan joissain tapauksissa pitää sentapaisena possessiona, jossa jokin ulkoinen olemus valtaa kehon. Aineistossa ilmenee kuitenkin myös erilaisia variaatioita aiheesta.
Omaelämäkerrallinen materiaalisuus ja kodin merkitykselliset esineet
Authors: Koskinen-Koivisto Eerika , Kajander Anna
Published: June 2024

Artikkelimme käsittelee omaelämäkerrallista materiaalisuutta eli oman elämänhistorian kietoutumista esineisiin ja materiaalisuuteen kodin kontekstissa. Analysoimme artikkelissa Elämäni esineet -keruun omaelämäkerrallisia tekstejä. Kysymme, millaiset esineet ovat omaelämäkerrallisia ja miten omaelämäkerrallisuus vaikuttaa kodin esinesuhteisiin. Hahmottelemme kaksivaiheisessa analyysissämme ensin keruun vastauksissa esille tuotujen esineiden kategorioita, jotka laskimme ja visualisoimme Voyant tools -työkalun avulla, ja tämän jälkeen syvennyimme teemoittain siihen, millaisia omaelämäkerrallisia aineksia ja kokemuksia kodin esineisiin liitetään. Sovellamme analyysissämme omaelämäkerrallisen materiaalisuuden ja kodin kuratoinnin näkökulmia. Pohdimme myös esineisiin liittyviä tunteita, muistoja ja aikakerrostumia suhteessa kotien esinemaailmaan ja esineympäristön muutoksiin.

Giyim endüstrisi için 20-32 yaş arası kadınlarda bölümlerine göre vücut şeklinin tahminlenmesi üzerine bir araştırma
Authors: Bor Kocaman Arzu , Kılınç Nurgul
Published: June 2024

Araştırmadaki genel amaç, 20-32 yaş arası kadınlarda vücut ölçüleri, Vücut Kitle İndeksi (VKİ), yaş, vücut ağırlığı bilgisinden yola çıkılarak bölümlerine göre vücut şeklinin tahminlenmesidir. Araştırmanın modeli, tarama modellerinden ilişkisel tarama modelidir. Araştırmanın evrenini Konya ilinde yaşayan 20-32 yaş arasında, 154-170 cm boy ölçüsünde, 50-70 kg arasında ağırlığa sahip kadınlar oluşturmaktadır. Evren içerisinden tesadüfi yöntemle araştırmanın örneklemi belirlenmiştir. Vücut ölçülerinin tespit edilmesinde elde ölçme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Antropometrik ölçüler ise ulusal/uluslararası boyutlandırma standartlarında kullanılan ölçüler dikkate alınarak belirlenmiştir.
Verilerin analiz edilmesinde SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) programı 22.0 versiyonu kullanılmış olup vücut şeklinin tahminlenebilmesi amacıyla çokterimli lojistik regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda antropometrik veri ve ölçülerden bazılarının vücut şekli ile ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiş, ancak araştırmanın amacı olan vücut şeklini tahminlemede tek başına yeterli olmadığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuç, örneklem ve kullanılan tahminleme yöntemi dâhilinde (çokterimli lojistik regresyon) VKİ, yaş, vücut ağırlığı ve vücut ölçülerinden yola çıkarak vücut şeklinin belirlenemeyeceğini göstermiştir.
