Published: December 2022

This study intends to explain the series of nyadran traditions in Cepokokuning village, and to find out the community’s understanding of the integration of Islamic values ​​and local wisdom into the nyadran tradition. The design of this research method is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The findings of this study conclude that before the covid-19 pandemic, the construction of local wisdom on Islamic values ​​in the nyadran tradition in Cepokokuning Village before the covid-19 pandemic was shown in goat slaughtering activities on the banks of the river near the dam, praying together, and pilgrimages in the area. the graves of the ancestors, salvation at crossroads (baritan), and watching puppet entertainment together in front of the Cepokokuning village hall. Meanwhile, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the nyadran tradition was carried out as usual, but the slaughter of goats was only attended by representatives of the residents, ziyarah (nyekar) was carried out independently, salvation (baritan) was held at the mosque, while puppet entertainment activities were abolished. The understanding of the people of Cepokokuning Village towards the values ​​of local wisdom and Islamic values ​​in the nyadran tradition is shown in the earth alms tradition which they believe is a wasilah for health and safety. According to them, the nyadran tradition has been practiced for generations and does not conflict with local wisdom and sharia values. The Islamic values ​​found in the nyadran tradition are togetherness, harmony, egalitarian, mutual cooperation, deliberation, alms, draw closer to Allah as gratitude to Him

Force degradation of orthodontic elastomeric chains: A literature review
Authors: Issa Ali R , Kadhum Ammar S
Published: December 2022

Background: Elastomeric chains are used to generate force in many orthodontic procedures, but this force decays over time, which could affect tooth movement. This study aimed to study the force degradation of elastomeric chains. Data and Sources: An electronic search on Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, LILACS, and PubMed was made, only articles written in English were included, up to January 2022.Study selection: Fifty original articles, systematic reviews, and RCTs were selected. Conclusion: Tooth movement, salivary enzymes, alcohol-containing mouthwash, whitening mouthwash, and alkaline and strong acidic (pH <5.4) solutions all have a significant impact on elastomeric chain force degradation. The force level of elastomeric chains degrades rapidly over time; however, the force degradation rate is slower in thermoset chains than in thermoplastic ones. An efficient tooth movement could be achieved by using a thermoset chain type with monthly replacement. Ethylene oxide and gamma sterilization methods are preferred to avoid the risk of cytotoxicity.
Point of Care testing: The future of periodontal dis-ease diagnosis and monitoring
Authors: Khorshid Mohamad
Published: December 2022

Manual probing and periodontal charting are the gold standard for periodontal diagnosis that have been used in practice over a century. These methods are affordable and reliable but they are associated with some drawbacks that cannot be avoided. Among these issues is their reliance on operator’s skills, time-consuming and tedious procedure, lack sensitivity especially in cases of early bone loss, and causing discomfort to the patient. Availability of a wide range of biomarkers in the oral biofluids, dental biofilm, and tissues that potentially reflect the periodontal health and disease accurately encouraged their use as predictive/diagnostic/monitoring tools. Analysing biomarkers during care-giving to the patient using chairside kits is known as Point of Care (POC) testing. Introduction of POC in periodontal practice could provide more flexibility and add further dimensions to the process of diagnosis and tailoring more precise treatment plan for the patients. This review aimed to highlight available POC testing used for periodontal diagnosis and disease prediction/monitoring
Assessing the multi-sectoral convergence of interventions impacting nutrition at the household level: Lessons from Sundarbans, West Bengal, India
Authors: Dash Antaryami , Siddiqui Shahab Ali , Bhaumik Debashmita , Dhargupta Antara
Published: December 2022

Background: Malnutrition is a multifaceted problem requiring interventions that address the multi-sectoral determinants contributing to it. As per National Family Health Survey - 5 (2019-21), with 33.8% stunted, 20.3% wasted, and 32.2% underweight children, West Bengal is one of the high burden states for childhood undernutrition in India.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess household-level access (i.e. the percentage of households availing select services) to various nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions and understand the extent to which convergent action has taken place in the most hard-to-reach areas of the Sundarbans.

 Methods: Cross-sectional survey following 30 x 30 cluster sampling; the sampling was done based on population proportion to size (PPS) methodology. A total of 912 households were recruited for a quantitative survey, and the data was collected through computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) tools. Data was collected from October 15-25, 2021 from households having at least one child in the age group of 6 – 24 months.

 Result: The study focused on 19 nutrition-specific and sensitive interventions. Household-level coverage of 13 of these interventions was 1.5%; coverage of the six others was 4.2%. The estimated coverage of all 19 interventions was found to be almost non-existent (0.2%).

Conclusion: The conspicuously low coverage of services at the household level is a clear indicator of poor convergence of government schemes and programs, reflecting, in turn, disjointed action on the part of the various departments of the government. The results suggest the need for reconsidering the household-level delivery of services as a wholesome package of interventions rather than seeing them as discrete departmental deliverables.

(Garcinia indica) rind
Authors: Ranveer R.C. , Rathod N.B. , Nandane A.S. , Sahoo A.K. , Ganorkar P.M.
Published: December 2022

The present research aimed to study the storage stability of microencapsulated
anthocyanin. The anthocyanin was extracted from kokum processing industry waste and
microencapsulated by spray drying. The effect of different process variables like core (i.e.,
anthocyanin) to wall (i.e., maltodextrin) ratio, inlet temperature and feed rate on
encapsulation efficacy (EE) and Encapsulation yield (EY) was observed. The storage
stability of anthocyanin was carried out by subjecting it to different storage conditions like
the presence and absence of air, sunlight, room temperature, and refrigeration condition.
The maximum EE (82.2±0.95%), and EY (92.6±0.86%) were recorded at the core to wall
ratio (1:3), inlet temperature (140°C), and feed rate (2 mL/mins). The highest retention
was recorded in encapsulated anthocyanin stored in refrigerated conditions (R2
= 0.982),
with a half-life of 245.77 weeks, and a D value of 354.57 weeks. This concludes that the
stability of anthocyanin was increased due to encapsulation

Published: December 2022

Bitter gourd is one of the potential vegetables that has been clinically proven with several
uses due to its medicinal advantages. However, it is less popular than other vegetable
crops. Hence, this study was conducted to obtain detailed information on important
agronomic traits and determine the pattern of inheritance of morphological traits in bitter
gourd. Four F1 populations, P105 × P11, P11 × P92, P92 × P13 and P13 × P92 have been
successfully generated from the hybridisation of four genotypes parental lines (P11, P13,
P92 and P105). The result of analysis of variance showed that the parents and the F1
populations were significantly different (p < 0.01) in terms of vine length at 90 days after
sowing, days of the first harvest after flowering, fruit number, fruit weight, fruit length,
fruit girth, flesh thickness and total yield per plant. It also exhibited significantly different
(p < 0.05) on days of to first male and female flower appearances. F1 progeny P11 × P92
recorded the highest total yield per plant (5376 g), followed by the parent P92 (4885 g).
Positive and significant correlations were observed between total yield per plant and its
contributing traits such as fruit weight (r = 0.81), fruit length (r = 0.73), flesh thickness (r
= 0.65), fruit girth (r = 0.63), vine length at 90 days after sowing (r = 0.33) and fruit
number (r = 0.27). This indicates a higher magnitude of variability for selection with a
larger scope of a breeding program in future. The heritability (h
2
) values ranged from
68.16% for the days of the first harvest after flowering to 99.81% for fruit weight. The
highest value of genetic advance (GA) was recorded by the total yield per plant
(3220.53%) while the lowest value was displayed by days of the first harvest after
flowering (1.35%), respectively. High heritability and GA values indicated that some
characteristics could be inherited by the next generation.

Authors: Sari Titania , Yuliyanti Ai Yeni , Septiana Ponia Mega
Published: December 2022

This research explores how The Washington Post online newspaper represents Muslims and non-Muslims in the Jakarta governor election in 2017. The researcher obtained the data from the article in The Washington Post on May 5, 2017. This qualitative research used Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis Theory (2003) approaches in the textual and social practice analysis dimensions. The textual analysis dimension is analyzed using Halliday's transitivity theory (2014), focusing on process type at representational meanings. The researcher collects, classifies, and explores the data. The findings show that the most apparent in the sentences of articles are mental and verbal processes, and there is no behavioral process. The result shows that the Washington Post represents Muslims primarily negatively. Muslims is represented as conflict maker and a winner in the event because of the non-Muslim candidate's offense. The Muslim society is represented as having conflict, and hard-line Muslim communities want to apply Islamic law to the Indonesian government.

Rapid Detection of Synthetic Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists Impregnated into Paper by Raman Spectroscopy
Authors: Coombs Thomas , Abdelkader Amor , Al-Jumeily Dhiya , Assi Sulaf
Published: December 2022

Abstract English The last decade has witnessed the emergence of new psychoactive substances that are analogues of classical drugs of abuse in order to escape the regulations surrounding the latter drugs. These drugs were of both herbal and synthetic origin and were advertised initially as ‘legal highs’; thus, they were perceived as safe by users. Hence, upon their emergence, they were not controlled by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, which contributed to their popularity and increased sales online and within street markets. In 2016, the Psychoactive Substance Act introduced a blanket ban on all new psychoactive substances except for caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. This in turn, contributed to the change in the sale of new psychoactive substances products that have been sold as concealed in different matrices, including herbal products, papers, fabrics, and textiles. Concealing drugs in paper has been very popular, especially since the drug product is of lightweight and can be sent via postal services. However, new psychoactive concealed in papers are toxic not only to the users; but also, to the person handling them (i.e. mail employees). One of the classes of new psychoactive substances that have been commonly concealed in papers and that have been linked to toxicity and hospitalization cases is synthetic cannabinoids. Therefore, there is a need to identify new psychoactive substances concealed in papers non-destructively and rapidly to prevent toxicity linked to them. Handheld Raman spectroscopy offers this advantage as it is of lightweight and carries the sample to the matrix. Therefore, this work used handheld Raman spectroscopy for identifying synthetic cannabinoids concealed in papers using Raman spectroscopy combined with machine learning analytics. Synthetic cannabinoid and paper samples were measured non-destructively using a handheld Raman spectrometer equipped with a 1064 nm laser wavelength. Spectral data was exported into Matlab 2020b where machine learning analytics including identification and prediction was. The results showed that Raman spectroscopy could identify specific synthetic cannabinoids in papers that were either deposited on the surface of the paper or diffused inside the paper substrate. When machine learning analytics were applied to the Raman spectra of the papers, quantitative information was obtained regarding the amount of synthetic cannabinoid deposited on the paper surface. In summary, handheld Raman spectroscopy could identify and quantify synthetic cannabinoids on paper rapidly and non-destructively. Future work involves testing other classes of new psychoactive substance and applying deep learning analytics

Sexual assault referral centres were designed to provide comprehensive services to survivors to mitigate the physical and psychological consequences of rape. However, some of the survivors who reported at these centres did not benefit fully from these, thereby presenting as missed opportunities. We assessed the missed opportunities among the survivors who reported at Ekiti Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria from June 2020 to June 2022. Data were extracted from the records of the Ekiti Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Ado-Ekiti and the Department of Public Prosecution of Ekiti State Ministry of Justice, Ado-Ekiti. The missed opportunities for post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV, emergency contraception, economic empowerment and relocation/shelter services were 62.2%, 35.9%, 42.3% and 4.3% respectively. There were 18 convictions out of the 21 concluded cases. Delayed reporting and poor compliance with follow-up schedules appear to be common denominators in these missed opportunities. To improve on the effectiveness of these services, there is a need to understand the cascade of events leading to delayed reporting and poor compliance with follow-up schedules by the survivors. Mobilisation of adequate financial resources is also expedient for the effective delivery of these services.

Determination of sex is an important element of human identification which becomes challenging when only only fragments of body parts are available for investigation by forensic experts.
This study was aimed at assessing the utility of foramen magnum parameters in the determination of sex among the Nigerian population.
A retrospective study was conducted on patients attending National Ear Care Center Kaduna between the years 2017-2019. A total of 399 normal Multislice CT images of skulls (236 males and 163 females) of the age of 18 – 95 years were randomly picked from the archives of the Hospital in the computer database of the Radiology Department. The foramen magnum and occipital condyles parameters were measured by an experienced radiologist.
Males tend to have a significantly higher mean value of foramen magnum width, Foramen Magnum Index, the length of the right occipital condyle, and the length of left occipital condyles as well as the width of the right occipital condyle at a p-value ≤ 0.05. The width of right occipital condyles was the only variable that got a significant (p ≤ 0.05) impact on our sex estimation following multiple logistic regression. However, by applying discriminate function analysis the length of the left occipital condyle and width of the right occipital condyle were the only discriminatory variables chosen for this study population.
In conclusion, this study indicated that five variables of foramen magnum out of ten were statistically significantly different with males having higher mean values than females. Moreover, the only significant discriminatory variables to determine sex in this study population were the length of the left occipital condyle and the width of the right occipital condyle respectively.

Authors: Sasikumar Panicker Lakshmi , Dsilva Fayth , Satish Surve Shivani
Published: December 2022

In sexual assaults the presence of semen on the crime scene, victim or suspect’s belongings acts as crucial evidence for establishing the occurrence of the crime. Fabrics are a common piece of evidence obtained at such crime scenes. The detection of seminal stain on a fabric depends on various factors such as absorption by the fabric, the colour and texture of fabric, the age of the stain, environmental conditions, etc. The current study was conducted on three different types of fabrics: cotton, nylon and denim and were exposed to a temperature of 25˚C for four different time durations- 1 day (24 hours), 3 days (72 hours), 5 days (120 hours) and 7 days (168 hours). Three different tests were performed on the samples to be tested. Accordingly, fluorescence test, Barberio’s test and Christmas tree staining test were carried out. It was determined that the fluorescence of the seminal stain increased with increasing time duration. The observations made in Barberio test was however, not seen to be affected by the time intervals. It was also observed

Hashish resin is a narcotic prepared from a concentrated extract of cannabis flowers and leaves. It can cause confusion, anxiety, panic, paranoia, and even psychosis. This study's goal was to assess the hazards associated with abuse of hashish resin, its chemical composition and possible role in forensic cases involving violence in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. For this purpose, all forensic cases in Jazan, from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively investigated. The data were collected from the OTARR electronic system using the data collecting form. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the chemical composition of seized hashish. The percentage of cases having positive results for hashish in fatal cases were 1, 2, and 5% and in crime cases these were 29, 26, and 31% in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. Homicide and suicide were the major manners of death among fatalities involving hashish. More than one-third of the crimes were related to hashish use/abuse. Amphetamine and ethanol were most used drugs in combination with hashish. The average level of THC (the active compound in hashish) in crimes and fatalities was determined. The relationships between chemical composition of seized hashish, mental diseases and violence were investigated and discussed.

Published: December 2022

The increase in information technology in today's era makes the availability of Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality enabled devices, which can become a gateway to exploring various applications, increase. For the example is the virtual reality application of Gamelan Slenthem, which is currently being developed with the aim of making Indonesian cultural musical instruments. Even though what is developed is not an application or an ordinary website, the user interface is still one of the most important stages in the development of an augmented reality or virtual reality application. Every information technology has an interface that can be a link between the user and the technology itself. The interface is influenced by needs, and information technology has a design that makes it easy for users to operate information technology and can make users feel comfortable using the application or technology. In this study, we will use heuristic evaluation to evaluate the application of the virtual reality gamelan metaverse game. Heuristic evaluation itself is a method of evaluating user interfaces and usability that can be used to determine the extent to which a system is used by users to achieve certain goals effectively, efficiently, and satisfactorily. This research focuses on evaluating the use of heuristics in user interface design based on usability aspects through observation and interviews with users.

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered species in the world. Climate change and susceptibility to disease are two of the greatest threats to this species. We performed a necropsy and histopathological examination of the organs of an old panda and investigated the pathogenesis associated with death. Necropsy and histopathological observation revealed some typical age-related lesions, such as cataract, atherosclerosis, renal insufficiency and splenic atrophy. We also confirmed hepatic lesions associated with parasitic infection. Overall, our observations revealed that the predominant cause of mortality in this panda was multiple organ dysfunction (MOD).

Agricultural production, food security and safety, public health animal welfare, access to markets and alleviation of rural poverty have been achieved by controlling on veterinary services to prevent animal disease. World organization for animal health guidelines focus on controlling of animal disease which depends on good governance and veterinary services quality. The aim of veterinary services is controlling and preventing animal disease some of other aspects; it's responsibility of early detection, rapid response to outbreaks of emerging or re-emerging animal disease, optimizing quality and effectiveness of disease prevention and control systems based on suitably adapted legislation and protect animal health as well as public health. Iraq has been focusing on controlling and preventing animal diseases through several aspects such as implementing laws, resolution on combating communicable disease, reporting communicable disease, setting a national policy for disease preventing and introducing health and vaccination programmers. Human and animal health have been protected from biological risks prevent pathogen spread in case of disease outbreak in a non- endemic area, disinfection of establishments, equipment and vehicles and temporary ban of movements animals.

Modeling synergism in early phase cancer trials with drug combination with continuous dose levels: is there an added value?
Authors: Tighiouart Mourad , Jiménez José L. , Diniz Marcio A. , Rogatko André
Published: December 2022

In parametric Bayesian designs of early phase cancer clinical trials with drug combinations exploring a discrete set of partially ordered doses, several authors claimed that there is no added value in including an interaction term to model synergism between the two drugs. In this paper, we investigate these claims in the setting of continuous dose levels of the two agents. Parametric models will be used to describe the relationship between the doses of the two agents and the probability of dose limiting toxicity and efficacy. Trial design proceeds by treating cohorts of two patients simultaneously receiving different dose combinations and response adaptive randomization. We compare trial safety and efficiency of the estimated maximum tolerated dose (MTD) curve between models that include an interaction term with models without the synergism parameter with extensive simulations. Under a selected class of dosetoxicity models and dose escalation algorithm, we found that not including an interaction term in the model can compromise the safety of the trial and reduce the pointwise reliability of the estimated MTDcurve.

Published: December 2022

Amaç: Langerhans hücreli histiositoz (LHH), tüm organ ve sistemleri etkileyebilen ve çok çeşitli klinik bulgulara neden olabilen nadir bir hastalıktır. Tedavi ve prognoz organ tutulumu bölgesine ve riskine göre değişkenlik gösterir. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde LHH tanısıyla takip edilen hastaları değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada Ocak 2000 ile Aralık 2019 arasında LCH tanısı alan 24 hastanın verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastalar tanı anındaki yaş, cinsiyet, başvuru semptomları, organ tutulumu, tedaviler, takip süresi ve tetavi yanıtları açısından değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Hastaların tanı yaşı ortalaması 4,7±4,6 (0,6-16,6) yıl ve ortalama takip süresi 91,6±67,8 (12,1-240) ay idi. Tanı anındaki en sık görülen bulgu cilt lezyonları iken, en sık görülen organ tutulumları kemik ve ciltti. Bunu sırasıyla hipofiz, karaciğer, lenf nodu, akciğer, dalak, periodontal bölge, tiroid, orbital bölge, mastoid, pankreas ve kemik iliği izledi. Hastalara risk gruplarına göre LCH-III çalışma protokolüne uygun olarak tedavi uygulandı. Progresyon gösteren 6 hastanın 5’ine kladribin tedavisi, 1 hastaya hematopoetik kök hücre nakli (HKHN) uygulandı ve hepsinde tam yanıt elde edildi.

Sonuç: LHH’de tutulan organ ve sistemlere, hastalığın yaygınlığına göre kemoterapi, radyoterapi ve cerrahi tedavi seçenekleri farklı kombinasyonlarda uygulanmaktadır. Yanıtsızlık veya progresyon durumlarında bizim serimizde olduğu gibi kladribin ve HKHN tedavileri başarılı bir şekilde uygulanmaktadır.

Günümüzde Mobilya Zanaatına Bir Bakış; “Gönen Mobilya" Örneği
Authors: ARDATÜRK Ahmet Şadi
Published: December 2022

Ahşapla tarih boyunca ilişkide olunmuştur. Bu ilişki habitatta bulunanın direkt kullanılmasından endüstriyel üretime kadar gelmiştir. Ahşapla en derin ilişkinin marangozlukta olduğu söylenebilir. Marangozluk yüz yıllardır en temel zanaatlardan biri olmuştur. Ahşabı, biçimi-formu insani tinle bir araya getiren, yılların emeği ile bu zanaat, günümüz dünyasında endüstri ve kapitalizm altında oldukça zayıflamış, sayısal olarak azalmıştır. Birçok değerli zanaatkarın ekonomik sebeplerle iş bıraktığı, kapitalizm karşısında duramadığı karşılaşılan bir durumdur. Zanaatın içinde var olan insani tin, biçime duyulan tutku, işe duyulan saygı ve en önemlisi niteliğe duyulan aşk endüstri üretiminde pek nadir karşılaşılan nüvelerdir. Çalışma, günümüzde hala varlığını sürdüren ancak azalan marangozluk zanaatını anlamak-anlamlandırmak ve örüntülerini geleceğe taşımak için oluşturulmuştur. Bu temel amaç çerçevesinde endüstriyi yükseltebilecek nüveleri keşfetmekte araştırmanın gayelerinden birisidir. Araştırma örneklemini; karşılaştırmayı sağlayabilmek için, geçmişten günümüze gelmiş ve hem geleneksel üretimi hem de endüstri üretimini bünyesinde barındırmış/barındıran bir firma oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada; sözlü tarih çalışması, ürün incelemesi ve fotoğraflanması, tasarım hikayelerinin araştırılması, atölye ziyaretleri ve üretim incelemesi gibi teknikler kullanılmıştır. Sonuçta, günümüz mobilya sektörüne yeni bir soluk getirebilmek için ihtiyaç duyulduğu düşünülen “nitelik” kavramı çerçevesinde tasarımcı ve üretici firmalara niteliğe yönelik bir öneri sunulmuştur. Bu niteliği oluşturan “davranış modeli” ve “zihin yapısı” ile sektörde gerekli olduğuna inanılan gelişimin sağlanabileceği düşünülmektedir.
Atatürk Müze Evleri Bağlamında Raco Atatürk Evinin İncelenmesi
Authors: TEMİZ Fehime Mine , ÖZKAN Servet
Published: December 2022

Toplumda, tarihsel olaylarla ön plana çıkmış, içinde bulunduğu kültüre yön vermiş olmakla saygı duyulan, önemli sayılan kişilerin evleri zamanla birer müze eve dönüştürülmüştür. Bunlar arasında, Atatürk müze evleri Türkiye için ayrı bir grup oluşturmaktadır. Bu yapılar, bazılarının özgün işlevi farklı olmakla birlikte topluca “Atatürk Evi” olarak anılırlar. Savaş yıllarında bazıları karargâh işlevi görmüş, çoğu tarihi bir sürece, önemli olaylara tanıklık etmiştir. Yakın zamanda, Suriye’nin kuzeybatısında, Afrin - Raco’da, Atatürk’ün bir süre kaldığı bir evin daha varlığı kamuoyuna duyurulmuştur. Bu makalede, Osmanlı cephesinde, birinci dünya savaşının son günlerinde, karargâh olarak kullanıldığı ileri sürülen yapının bu işlevi tartışılmakta, Atatürk ile ilişkisi ve dönemin olayları bağlamındaki yeri ve önemi ortaya konmaktadır. Aynı zamanda yapı, mimari özellikleri ile de incelenmekte, bölgenin konut mimarisi ve Atatürk müze evleri bağlamında değerlendirilmektedir. Yapı, Hacı Halil Köyünün en yüksek noktasında ve çevreye hâkim konumdadır. Birinci dünya savaşı sırasında Osmanlı ordusuna destek veren Hanif Ağanın konağı olarak bilinmektedir. Duvarlarla çevrili geniş bir avlunun kuzeybatısına yaslanmış durumda, kuzey-güney doğrultusunda, dikdörtgen planlı, bir bodrum ve bir ana kattan oluşan bir kütle ve güneyindeki bir geçitten meydana gelen yapı, yığma kâgir sistemde inşa edilmiştir. Avlu içindeki taş yığınları, bölgenin geleneksel mimarisi de dikkate alındığında daha başka kütlelerinde burada mevcut olduğu izlenimini doğurmaktadır. Tonozla örtülü, basık ve penceresiz bodrum katın bir kiler olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Suriye ve Güney Anadolu geleneksel konut mimarisinin bir örneği olan yapı, Birinci Dünya Savaşının sonunda, Atatürk’ün karargâh olarak kullandığı bir yapı olması, Misak-ı Millî sınırlarının belirlendiği bir sürece tanıklık etmesi bakımından önem taşımaktadır.
Considerations on Contemporary Philosophy of Religion: A Critical and Hermeneutic Analysis

Published: December 2022

Bu çalışma, çağdaş din felsefesini, felsefedeki çağdaş eğilimlerin metafilozofik açıdan değerlendirilmesi yoluyla ele almaya çalışır. Bunu yaparken temel olarak şu iki sorudan hareket edilir: Acaba felsefe, özü itibariyle sadece salt
rasyonel bir tutum olarak mı değerlendirilmelidir? Yoksa felsefe, varoluşsal bir yöne sahip olarak varlığı bir algılayış biçimi, ona bir anlam verme şekli midir? Genel olarak felsefe yapma tarzımızın nasıllığını da belirleyen bu
soruların cevabı aranırken bu çalışma boyunca günümüz felsefesinin iki büyük felsefi geleneği olan Kıta Avrupa’sı felsefesi ve Analitik felsefe geleneği arasındaki benzerlikler, farklılıklar ve özgünlüklerden hareket edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
Kıta Avrupa’sı felsefesi ve Analitik felsefe geleneği arasındaki benzerlikler, farklılıklar ve özgünlükler; konu, yöntem ve yaklaşım tarzları olarak ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır. Bunu yaparken çeşitli felsefe yapma tanımlarından
ve felsefeye yüklenen farklı anlamlardan hareket edilecek, bu iki geleneğin birbirinden farkı ortaya konularak felsefi gayretin temel özellikleri belirlenmeye çalışılacaktır. Elde edilen neticelerden yola çıkılarak çağdaş din felsefesi
yapma tarzları; bu iki büyük gelenek açısından değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır. Sonuç itibariyle de çağdaş din felsefesindeki eksiklik ya da yetersizliklerden hareketle çağdaş din felsefesinin nasıl olması gerektiği konusu ile
ilgili elde edilen neticeler göz önünde bulundurularak tespit ve tavsiyelerde bulunulmaya çalışılacaktır.
