İskendername ve Mahzen-i Esrar’a göre Nizâmî’de evrensel eşitlik ideali
Authors: SAYGIN Tuncay , KARACA Mehmet Mustafa
Published: February 2022

Düşünce tarihinin en başından beri iki figür öne çıkar. Bu figürlerden biri şair diğeri ise filozoftur. Şairi ve filozofu birbirine yakınlaştıran önemli bir nokta ise ideal tutkularıdır. Şair ideal sözü ararken; filozof ise ideal varlığı arar. Şair ve filozof her zaman çok iyi anlaşamazlar fakat her zaman birbirlerine çok şey borçludurlar. Nizâmî Gencevî, felsefe ile şiirin birbirini tamamlayan şeyler olduğunu düşünür ve şiir ile felsefeyi buluşturmayı bu yolla da ideal varlığın ideal söz ile dile gelmesine aracılık etmeyi amaçlar. 1141-1214 yılları arasında yaşadığı tahmin edilen Nizâmî, epik ve lirik şiirin önemli isimlerinden olup hamse türünün de kurucularından kabul edilmektedir. Nizâmî’yi şair kimliğinin dışında özellikle İskendername ve Mahzen-i Esrar adlı eserlerindeki yaklaşımları ile bir düşünür ve filozof olarak da değerlendirmek mümkündür. Bu yazıda daha çok İskendername ve Mahzen-i Esrar adlı iki eserini merkeze alarak Nizâmî’nin hümanizma temelinde, evrensel bir eşitlik inancına sahip olduğu ileri sürülecek ve bunu nasıl savunduğu gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır.
Işknâme ve Gül ü Hüsrev’de yeniden yazılan ortak hikâyeler
Authors: KOCAER Sibel
Published: February 2022

Bu makalenin odağında on dördüncü yüzyılın sonu ile on beşinci yüzyılın başlarına tarihlenen iki mesnevide yer alan iki ortak hikâye vardır. İncelenen mesnevilerden birincisi, adının Mehmed/Muhammed olduğu bilinen bir şair tarafından yazılmış, akademik literatüre ilk kez Işknâme (1398) adıyla tanıtılmış ve kaynağı henüz keşfedilmemiş olan bir mesnevidir. İkinci mesnevi ise, Tutmacı adıyla anılan bir şair tarafından Farsçadan çevrilmiş olan Gül ü Hüsrev’dir (1406). Her iki mesnevinin de yazarları hakkında günümüze ulaşmış bir bilgi yoktur. Işknâme mesnevisinin kurgusu âşıkların kavuşma – ayrılık – kavuşma maceraları açısından Gül ü Hüsrev ile benzerdir. Her iki mesnevi de kurgu ve içerikleriyle şehzade ışknâmeleri olarak tanımlanan mesnevi geleneğinin bir parçasıdır. Bu makalede incelenen ortak hikâyelerden birincisi, mesnevi kahramanının oynadığı bir aşk oyunu ile esaretten kurtulmasını anlatır. İkinci ortak hikâye ise, yatakta yılan ile gelen ölümün hikâyesidir. İki mesnevi arasında metinsel bağlar kuran esaretten kurtulmayı sağlayan aşk oyunu hikâyesi ve kaleye kaçırılma motifi bu iki mesneviyi karmaşık bir biçimde birbirine dolaştırır ve bu metinlerin ortak bir hikâye veya kaynaktan farklı kollara ayrılmış olduğunu düşündürür. Mesnevideki ana kahramanın veya âşıklardan birisinin ömrünün yılan ile sonlanması ise iki mesneviyi de eski mitik geleneklere bağlar. Yakın Doğu ve Yunan mitlerinde ömür ve zaman ile ilişkilendirilen yılan, aynı zamanda kozmik döngünün de sembolüdür. Her iki mesnevide de yılan ömrü temsil etmekte ve yılanla gelen ölüm bir döngünün bitişini ve yeni bir döngünün başlangıcını imlemektedir.

Authors: Aslam Sadia , Javed Ahad , Usman Hafiz Muhammad , Naz Lubna , Mushtaq Samia
Published: February 2022

Background: Prevalence of smokeless tobacco (ST) consumption has been observed worldwide in the twentieth century, especially in Asian and African countries, with estimated 47% ST consumers in Pakistan. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the potential rationale of individuals for ST-initiation and various behavioural and psychological attributes of ST-consumers.

Methodology: The study was conducted in an underprivileged area of Surjani town, West district of Karachi, Pakistan. 150 study participants were selected for the study, in which consumers of the current ST consumers (Betel nuts, Gutka and Oral Snuff) were recruited. In contrast, the individuals not taking ST served as controls. Individuals with smoking, any other type of addiction, medications for any chronic disease (hypertension, diabetes), or having any other behavioural/psychological problems were excluded from the study. A structured questionnaire was designed to evaluate the level of stress (Modified Hassles scale), addiction, and nicotine dependence. The participants were explained about the purpose of the study and the interviews were conducted by personal meet-up in their homes. Data was collected and analyzed via SPSS version 16.0.

Results: Curiosity and peer pressure appeared to be among the most important factors for ST consumption initiation. 25% of ST consumers were found to be at the end stage of addiction, while 36% categorized to be in the second stage of addiction. Irritation, Anger, Headache and laziness were among the most prevalent types of feelings experienced by the study participants. The reduced stress levels in ST consumers compared to the controls were due to their euphoric condition attributed to the ST. Approximately 30% of the consumers were categorized to have an increased risk of obesity.

Conclusion: As a readily available and affordable addictive agent, smokeless tobacco consumption has been raised in Pakistan more than in the west. Smokeless tobacco consumption-initiation has been linked to increased curiosity and peer pressure.

Role of Mothers Resilience in the Development of Resilience and Prevention of Depression and Anxiety in Daughters
Authors: Damani Zara Nisar , Hussain Sana
Published: February 2022

Background: Resilience has proven to be a protective factor against adverse conditions. However, mental health professionals have started studying resilience in terms of reducing depression and anxiety. In Pakistan especially, this area needs to be explored to develop interventions to make people resilient. This study aimed to investigate and understand the role of mothers' resilience in developing resilience and prevention of depression and anxiety in daughters.

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study, and data were collected from 88 participants hailing from different areas of Karachi, Pakistan, and among them, 44 were girls, and 44 were their biological mothers. The variables were assessed using the resilience and depression anxiety scale.

Results: The study results reveal that when mothers are resilient, it helps develop resilience in daughters. Since there was no significant difference between mothers' and daughters' resilience, all the mothers were resilient, and their daughters were resilient. Further, this study also showed that resilience is negatively correlated with depression and anxiety. Moreover, there was a significant positive relationship between mothers' resilience and daughters' depression and anxiety scores. Besides this, a significant positive relationship has also been found between daughters' resilience and mothers' depression anxiety scores.

Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is suggested that for the development of a healthy society, intervention programs that promote resilience must be adapted for children as well as adults so that they can overcome the challenges of daily life.
The Identification of Sialuria with Different Degrees of Intellectual Disabilities in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Ishtiaq Hina , Siddiqui Sonia , Nawaz Rukhsana , Hussain Muhammad Ashraf , Imtiaz Fauzia , Haque Zeba
Published: February 2022

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphism/mutation in the R263L region of the allosteric site of the GNE gene produces a phenotype with an overproduction of intracellular levels of sialic acid and causes sialuria. In sialuria, a defective GNE gene, synthesized with lost feedback inhibition mechanism, produces many developmental delays and varying degrees of intellectual disabilities in children and adolescents. Several mutations in the epimerase and kinase domains exist that cause difficulty in getting a precise and exact effect of the GNE gene on the disease severity and sialic acid levels. This is the first study investigating the molecular basis of neuronal disorders exhibiting sialuria in Pakistani children/ adolescents.

Methodology: The current study quantified the mRNA expression of the GNE gene and urinary sialic acid concentration by Realtime-qRT-PCR and Fluorimetric assays, respectively. The correlation between relative mRNA and urinary sialic acid levels was evaluated by using Pearson Bivariate correlations.

Results: The data show that severely intellectually disabled (I.D.) patients showed significantly reduced mRNA expression levels of the GNE gene compared to controls. The concentrations of free sialic acid in urine were significantly reduced in severe I.D. patients compared to controls. Whereas patients with mild I.D. showed a two-fold increase in sialic acid levels when compared to controls. A significant correlation was found between an increased GNE mRNA and low urinary sialic acid levels from severe I.D. patients.

Conclusion: The effect of the GNE gene is beyond hyposialylation that could hinder N-glycan structure and sialic acid biosynthesis. The study highlighted the possible involvement of sialic acid levels with different degrees of intellectual disabilities in Pakistani children and adolescents.

Published: February 2022

Background: Cancer and inflammation have a bidirectional association; chronic inflammation is considered a major contributor to carcinogenesis. C - reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory protein produced by the liver, has been identified as an important prognostic marker among breast cancer patients. This study aimed to elucidate the role of C-reactive protein as an inflammatory prognostic predictor in breast cancer patients and its impact on disease-free survival (DFS).

Methodology: This prospective cohort study included 80 locally advanced breast cancer (stage II and III) patients presenting at the Department of General Surgery (Unit II), Liaquat University Hospital - Jamshoro/Hyderabad. Patient data, including demographics, stage and hormone status of breast cancer, metastatic workup, pre-operative CRP,  post-operative complications and DFS on follow-ups including recurrence, metastasis and post-surgery skin manifestation, were recorded using a structured questionnaire. The statistical analysis was conducted on SPSS version 22.0.

Results: Pre-operatively, a mildly raised serum CRP level was observed in 71.25% of patients and highly raised in 28.5%.  The post-operative complications were observed in 12 participants with wound infection in 8, wound dehiscence in 3 and sepsis in only 1 participant. The DFS, including recurrence-free and metastatic-free survival, were observed in 69 participants

Conclusion: After thorough observation, it can be concluded that the raised CRP level is a significant predictor for post-operative complications (wound infection, dehiscence, and sepsis) and disease-free survival among patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

Therefore, this paper investigates pig farmers’ preferences and willingness to accept the implementation of animal welfare practices. We study individual preferences for specific animal welfare measures that are part of a hypothetical animal welfare program. The data are analyzed with a mixed logit model in WTA space and show that German pig farmers require statistically significant compensations for implementing animal welfare practices. We find evidence that farmers’ choices are driven by their trust in the consumers’ willingness to pay, their evaluation of the efficiency of specific animal welfare practices and farm characteristics. Our results further reveal that accounting for farmers’ preferences aids in understanding their willingness to implement specific animal welfare practices. Regarding the improvement of animal welfare these findings are highly relevant for politicians, food industry and producers in order to support animal welfare program design and to identify the costs of welfare improvements on the meat supply chain and future profitability.

Miconazole is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II drug, thus limiting its oral bioavailability. Nanosponges can improve the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs and sustain their release. The work was aimed at formulating miconazole nanosponges to enhance its solubility and consequently, oral bioavailability. Batches of nanosponges incorporating different concentrations (1, 2 and 3 %) of miconazole nitrate were formed using ethyl cellulose (EC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), ethanol and Kolliphor® 188. They were characterized using percentage yield, encapsulation efficiency, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Xray Diffraction (XRD), particle sizes, polydispersity index (PDI) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In vitro antifungal evaluation against Candida albicans was assessed while in vitro release using simulated gastric fluid was done. Furthermore, in vivo release studies in rats were carried out using the bioassay method. The percentage yield of the nanosponges were between 50 to 60 %. Encapsulation efficiencies ranged between 77 and 98 %. Particle sizes ranged between 266.5 and 781.1 nm. Particles were porous and spongy in appearance. Antifungal evaluation of the nanosponges against Candida albicans revealed activity like that of the pure drug. In vitro release studies showed a sustained release pattern for the nanosponges up till 12 hours whereas the unformulated drug peaked at 2 h. In vivo evaluation showed a concentration dependent increase in blood concentration of the drug with NS4 having the highest release. Nanosponges containing miconazole nitrate were successfully formulated and evaluated and are a promising oral delivery system for miconazole nitrate.

Poetry is a unique literary work and is not easily translated from source language to target language because in the process, wherever possible maintain the inner atmosphere of the work (mood, tone). At the same time, translators should look for equivalents to the formal form of the poem itself appropriately, such as the number of lines (especially for sonnet type), rhyme (praying) and syllable (number of syllables). Therefore, it is necessary to review the journal paper that discusses the technique of translating the literary text of poetry. The method used by this study is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on journal paper published from 2013-2021. There is one Research Question (RQ) set out in this study. The final result obtained from this study is that there are twenty-one techniques for translating poetry literary texts that can be used by translators according to the times, needs and objectives of translators

PPAT services as an authorized position are very useful for certain people, especially for people who do not understand the law. Some people who do not understand the law feel unable to handle the legal problems they face, given the limited data around the law. For quick access to PPAT-related matters, the national office must issue a receipt for submitting a registration application, for example, a deed from the PPAT and submit the file to the appropriate PPAT. This responsibility not only affects the progress of understanding or compliance with the law, but also considers the greater legal impact on PPAT's thoughts or behavior, both positive and negative. Because of the importance of evidence as a way of affirmation that can provide legal certainty and guarantee to the right holder, the making of a deed of transfer of land rights as a reason to follow land registration data through the sale and purchase of land rights must be in accordance with the timeframe previously specified in Article 40 paragraph (1) Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration.
