Multimodal Means of Representing Pragmatic Potential in Advertising Discourse
Authors: Bronnikova O. V. , Golovko A. S.
Published: June 2024

This article is an attempt to study multimodal means used to reveal pragmatic potential of advertising posts in the social network VKontakte. In the paper we explore the concept of multimodality and multimodal text as a semiotic unity. We proceed from the fact that such a unity is achieved through coherence of social context. An advertising text is understood as a multimodal complex in which information is transmitted through a variety of semiotic codes which are socially and culturally determined. These codes serve as semiotic resources to produce meaning. We claim that advertising messages in the social network VKontakte are a form of a media text whose inherent characteristics exceed verbal means and possess such features as coherence, recontextuality, multilevelness, multimodality and multimediality. We have used a multimodal discourse analysis, which is in line with social semiotics concepts and works by G. Kress. He argues that the goal of such an analysis is to develop a number of methods which make it possible to study the interaction between social meanings and their polysemiotic representations in a text. The analysis is aimed at exploring four key components: text; context, actions, and interactions of participants in the discourse; the impact of the text and ideology. The research is carried out at the micro and macro levels. At the micro level, a textual analysis of both verbal and non-verbal means was conducted. At the macro level, we singled out discursive strategies employed to influence potential customers and determined relationships between directly observable (verbal and non-verbal units) and implicit ideas these units convey. The results reveal that cognitive strategies encode interpretations of cultural experience and forms of social interaction. Despite the importance of the verbal semiotic code, non-verbal means are an essential part of advertising messages that form a multidimensional unity of all the semiotic codes. Visual representational structures serve to communicate such important socio-cultural codes as PART OF OUR WORLD VS OTHERS (INVOVEMENT VS DETACHMENT), SOCIAL DISTANCE, POWER. All this allows us to create an integral image of the thermal resort “Baden-Baden” and intensifies the degree of pragmatic impact on potential customers.

Published: June 2024

The article presents a corpus of texts with argumentative annotation pertaining to different types of scientific Internet communication. The corpus is annotated using the ArgNetBank Studio platform. The genres and functional characteristics of scientific Internet communication texts are discussed. The purpose of creating the corpus and the principles of selecting the data to be included are formulated, the types of selected texts are defined. The peculiarities of argumentative annotation of scientific and popular science articles with commentaries, which, unlike other types of texts included in the corpus, are internet-dialogues, are considered. This determines the specificity of their argumentative structure. We also discuss the issue of identifying argumentative schemes that arises within the process of annotating the texts of different types. A trial experiment has shown that for a number of pairs of schemes the choice is difficult. We propose taking these difficulties into account while developing a methodology of annotation and defining distinguishing semantic features of argumentative schemes; this approach is illustrated by analyzing the schemes from one of the considered pairs. In the course of annotating the analytical texts, the necessity of adding new reasoning schemes and supplementing some of the existing ones has arisen. The paper provides formalized descriptions of such schemes and illustrative examples from the analyzed corpus texts.

Published: June 2024

Background and Objective

The discovery of innovative pharmacological preventative measures in Human Immunodeficiency Virus transmission has boosted optimism in the successful control of HIV/AIDS with the objective of eradication and the end of the epidemic. Hence, assessing the effect of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) on HIV prevention among key populations (KPs) is imperative in advancing the conversation on ending HIV/AIDs.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study using data from KPs (female sex workers (FSWs), men who have sex with men (MSM), and people who inject drugs (PWIDs) enrolled in Heartland Alliance Ltd/GTE One Stop Shops (OSS) between May 2019 and April 2023 in the six selected Nigerian states (Lagos, Bayelsa, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Jigawa, and Niger). Data were cleaned in a spreadsheet and analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 28.0. Descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentage calculations, were conducted to analyze the dataset. Additionally, cross-tabulation analysis was performed, with a significance level set at 0.05, to explore relationships between variables.

Results

The study population comprised 13,580 participants, with 56.1% female. In all, 43.9% were aged 18–35 and 97.3% were single. Among the three KPs examined, FSW was the largest subgroup (50.8%), followed by MSM (28.1%) and PWID (21.1%). Most participants had been on PrEP for 0–3 months (87.8%), and PrEP was initiated for 81.6% due to high-risk sexual behaviors and 9.9% for serodiscordant relationship reasons. Most of them were enrolled in community healthcare settings (97.0%). The results showed that 99.9% remained HIV negative, while only two (0.01%) were seroconverted while on PrEP. The HIV-positive cases did not complete one-month PreP treatment, comprising an FSW and a PWID. Recent HIV contact or poor compliance with PrEP medication are two possible causes of seroconversion.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications

The findings underscore the significance of integrating PrEP into a comprehensive HIV prevention approach, including newer molecules that will improve adherence and the necessity of ongoing monitoring and support for PrEP users. With these insights, there can be an advocacy for promoting PrEP among the KPs as a vital component of Nigeria’s HIV prevention strategy.

Published: June 2024

Background:

The relative safety and more widespread utility of an adhesive surface electrode-based neuromonitoring (ABM) system may reduce the time and cost of traditional needle-based neuromonitoring (NBM).

Methods:

This retrospective cohort review included one- and two-level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion procedures (2019–2023). The primary variables studied included were time (in minutes) from patient entry into the operating room (OR) to incision, time from patient entry into the OR to closure, and time from incision to closure. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed to compare the outcomes between the ABM (31 patients) and NBM (51 patients) modalities.

Results:

We found no significant differences in the time from patient entry into the OR to incision (ABM: 71.8, NBM: 70.3, P = 0.70), time from patient entry into the OR to closure (ABM: 284.2, NBM: 301.7, P = 0.27), or time from incision to closure (ABM: 212.4, NBM: 231.4, P = 0.17) between the two groups. Further, no patients from either group required reoperation for mal-positioned instrumentation, and none sustained a new postoperative neurological deficit. The ABM approach did, however, allow for a reduction in neurophysiologist-workforce and neuromonitoring costs.

Conclusion:

The introduction of the ABM system did not lower surgical time but did demonstrate similar efficacy and clinical outcomes, with reduced clinical invasiveness, neurophysiologist-associated workforce, and overall neuromonitoring cost compared to NBM.

Методами современного физического материаловедения исследована структура, микротвердость и трибологические свойства быстрорежущей стали Р18Ю, легированной азотом и алюминием направленной на валки из среднеглеродистой стали 30ХГСА. Плазменная наплавка осуществлена в закрытой среде азота порошковой проволокой. Проведен регулируемый термический цикл для получения равномерного состояния и предотвращенияформирования холодных трещин. Выявлено, что наплавленный слой имеет структуру ячеисто-дендритного типа. Зерна обогащены атомами железа, а границы разделены тонкими прослойками второй фазы, обогащенными атомами хрома, алюминия, вольфрама и ванадия. Внутри центральной части зерен обнаружены включения игольчатого типа длиной 150-730 нм. Четырехкратный высокотемпературный отпуск при 580 °С в течении 1 часа обеспечивает: растворение наноразмерных включений в объеме зерен; способствует более равномерному распределению легирующих элементов; формирует структуру пластинчатого (игольчатого) типа, характерную по морфологическому признаку для игольчатого мартенсита. Выдвинуто и обосновано предположение, что зерна наплавленного слоя сформированы твердым раствором γ-железа (аустенита). Выявлено незначительное снижение микротвердости, износостойкости и коэффициента трения наплавочного слоя после высокотемпературного отпуска. Такое поведение наплавочного материала при высокотемпературном отпуске может быть обусловлено релаксацией термических напряжений, сформированных в слое при наплавке.
ВРАЩЕНИЯ ПЛОСКОСТИ ПОЛЯРИЗАЦИИ СВЕТОВОГО ИЗЛУЧЕНИЯ В НЕМАТИЧЕСКИХ ЖИДКИХ КРИСТАЛЛАХ

Published: June 2024

Мягким материям характерно существования эффекта двулучепреломления, который легко контролируется внешними факторами. Названный эффект позволяет моделировать светового излучение оптического диапазона по ряду волновых параметров, поскольку он непосредственно связан с анизотропией показателя преломления. Последний аргумент позволяет изменять ориентацию плоскости поляризации прошедшего через образец светового излучения. При введении последних в ЖК среде, анизотропия показателя преломления (∆n) сильно меняется. Для улучшения оптических характеристик жидкокристаллических ячеек, такие как: яркости, контраста и быстродействия, применяются специальные ориентирующие поверхности с заранее выбранной морфологии, а их объем заполняется наночастицами или поверхностно-активными веществами (ПАВ). Однако, введения таких частиц вызывает рассеянию светового излучения, сопровождающий снижения степени поляризации прошедших излучений. Поэтому с целью снижения нежелательных потерь интенсивности моделируемого светового излучения, необходимо решать задачу согласования ЖК элементов с оптической схемой устройства по положению плоскости поляризации. Нами исследовано влияние ПАВ в виде цетилтриметил аммоний бромида (ЦТАБ) в нематических жидкокристаллических ячейках типа 4-пентил-4’-цианобифенила 5СВ. В результате приложении электрического поля показали, что для исходного НЖК 5СВ и ячейки с концентрацией 0,05 % ЦТАБ-а световые излучения, прошедшие через ячейки, можно воспринимать как поляризованным, так как отношение Iox/Ioy больше 100; в ячейках, содержащие НЖК 5СВ и концентрации 0,1 и 0,3 вес. % ЦТАБ-а, световые излучения можно считать линейно поляризованным, когда выполняется условия 10< Iox/Ioy <100; а ячейка с содержанием 0,5 вес. % ПАВ-а служит средством для получения эллиптической поляризации света. В последнем случае имеет место условия Iox/Ioy меньше 100. Для интерпретации полученных результатов мы учитывали влияние ПАВ ЦТАБ на положения директора НЖК 5СВ Установлена взаимосвязь между концентрациями вводимого ПАВ и углом поворота плоскости поляризации. Указаны четкие границы линейной и эллиптической поляризации прошедшего через ячейку света в зависимости от концентрации ПАВ ЦТАБ. Предложены возможные применения таких материалов в полупроводниковой и твердотельной лазерной технике, и дисплейных технологиях.

В статье рассматривается влияние циклического отжига высокоуглеродистой стали У10А на изменение её механических свойств, микроструктуры и формы графитных включений для дальнейшей оценки пригодности стали к пластической деформации. Исследована исходная горячекатаная структура стали У10А, состоящая из пластинчатого перлита и графитных включений разной формы, которая обладает недостаточной пластичностью через измеренный параметр относительного удлинения d = 3,4 %. Для увеличения пластичности разработан режим сфероидизирующего циклического отжига на зернистый перлит средним размером 2-5 мкм для снижения прочностных и увеличения пластических характеристик стали. Установлено, что выше представленный отжиг также положительно влияет на изменение формы графитных включений – показано изменение их формы на сферическую, а также уменьшение их размера до 4-8 мкм и равномерное распределение в структуре, что способствует последующей пластической деформации без разрушений. Оценка результатов механических испытаний после пластической деформации прессованием со степенью 65 % отожжённой стали У10А позволяет сделать вывод о возможности получения требуемого временного сопротивления разрыву и твёрдости по ГОСТ 21996–76 для высокопрочных холоднокатаных лент без риска повреждения прокатных валков.

[NiFe]-hydrogenases catalyze the reversible activation of H2 using a unique NiFe(CN)2CO metal site, which is assembled by a sophisticated multi-protein machinery. The [4Fe–4S]-cluster-containing HypCD complex, which possesses an ATPase activity with an hitherto unknown function, serves as the hub for the assembly of the Fe(CN)2CO sub-fragment. HypCD is also thought to be responsible for the subsequent transfer of the iron fragment to the apo-form of the catalytic hydrogenase subunit, but the underlying mechanism remained unexplored. Here, we performed a thorough spectroscopic characterization of different HypCD preparations using infrared, Mössbauer and NRVS spectroscopy, revealing molecular details of the coordination of the Fe(CN)2CO fragment. Moreover, biochemical assays in combination with spectroscopy, AlphaFold structure predictions, protein-ligand docking calculations and crosslinking MS deciphered unexpected mechanistic aspects of the ATP requirement of HypCD, which we found to actually trigger the transfer of the Fe(CN)2CO fragment to the apo-hydrogenase.
Kinetic Investigation on Solvating Alkylamine Hofmann Elimination over Brønsted Acidic Zeolites
Authors: Chen Han , Abdelrahman Omar
Published: June 2024

The presence of solvents can significantly alter the reaction kinetics of catalytic conversions, yet the mechanisms of the solvent effect remain widely debated and could greatly vary between different chemistries. We use vapor phase Hofmann elimination of tert-butylamine (TBA) to systematically investigate how solvents participate catalyzed reaction over Brønsted acid sites of solid acid catalysts and affect a catalytic cycle. Twenty commonly used organic and inorganic solvents were tested to investigate the relationship between solvent identity and their influence on reaction kinetics. Kinetic measurements showed a significant and reversible inhibition in rates of Hofmann elimination in the presence of every tested solvent, with the degrees of reduction vary from less than 10% for non-polar solvents (carbon dioxide, benzene, hexane) to more than 90 % (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, acetonitrile), which was found to exhibit a roughly linear against the molecular dipole moment of solvents. Additionally, the degree of reduction is not affected by the size of molecule as the carbon chain length increases, but is negatively related to the degree of substitution by alkyl group on the α-carbon as well as halogen atom on the β-carbon. Despite the significant kinetic inhibition and a 30 kJ mol-1 increase in the measured apparent activation energies, the temperature programmed surface reaction profiles performed with pre-adsorbed TBA with feeding of acetonitrile and methanol showed no change in the peak temperature from the catalyst without solvent feed. Cooperative adsorption complex formed between the surface tert-butylammonium and solvent molecule adsorbed on a neighboring framework oxygen, which is far less reactive towards Hofmann elimination, is proposed to be responsible for the observed rate inhibition. Also, the stability of adsorption complex formation is found to be affected by the proton affinity of solvent, as revealed by the kinetic modeling of experimental rate measurements.
Incorporating Azaheterocycle Functionality in Aerobic, Copper-Catalyzed Aminooxygenation of Alkenes

Published: June 2024

Despite the maturity of alkene 1,2-difunctionalization reactions involving C–N bond formation, a key limitation across aminofunctionalization methods is incompatibility with substrates bearing medicinally relevant N-heterocycles. Using a cooperative ligand-substrate catalyst activation strategy, we have developed an aerobic, copper-catalyzed alkene aminooxygenation method that exhibits broad tolerance for β,γ-unsaturated carbamates bearing aromatic azaheterocycle substitution. The synthetic potential of this methodology was demonstrated by engaging a densely-functionalized vonoprazan analogue and elaborating an aminooxygenated product to synthesize a heteroarylated analogue precursor of the FDA-approved antibiotic chloramphenicol.

Rare diseases are a diverse group of disorders that despite each individual condition's rarity, collectively affect a significant portion of the global population. Currently approximately 10,000 rare diseases exist globally, 80% of these diseases have been identified as of genetic origins. In this review, we examine data from the CAS Content Collection to summarize scientific progress in the area of rare diseases. We examine the publication landscape in the area in effort to provide insights into current advances and developments. We then discuss the evolution of key concepts in the field, genetic associations, as well as the major technologies and development pipelines of rare disease treatments. We focus our attention on three specific rare diseases: (i) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a terminal neurodegenerative disease affecting the central nervous system resulting in progressive loss of motor neurons that control voluntary muscles; (ii) Huntington’s disease, another terminal neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, with a wide impact on a person's functional abilities; and (iii) myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune synaptopathy leading to skeletal muscle weakness. While the pathogenesis of these rare diseases is being elucidated, there is neither a cure nor preventative treatment available, only symptomatic treatment. The objective of the paper is to provide a broad overview of the evolving landscape of current knowledge on rare diseases, to outline challenges, and evaluate growth opportunities, all with an aim to further efforts in solving the remaining challenges.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of organizational culture on employee performance, considering the mediating role of employee engagement and the intervening effect of esprit de corps. The methodology involves a descriptive survey conducted among civil servants at the North Kalimantan Ministry of Religious Affairs. The research model integrates organizational culture as the independent variable, employee performance as the dependent variable, with esprit de corps as the intervening variable and employee engagement as the mediating variable. The population includes civil servants in North Kalimantan, with a sample size determined for the preliminary survey. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire focusing on indicators of organizational culture, esprit de corps, employee engagement,and employee performance. The most striking results indicate a significant gap between the current and ideal levels of employee performance, with task performance, contextual performance, adaptive performance, and counterproductive behavior not meeting expectations. Organizational culture, particularly leadership competence, has a notable influence on employee engagement and performance. The findings suggest that enhancing esprit de corps and employee engagement can improve overall performance

The Implementation of Contemporary Gospel Organ and Keyboard Techniques in Jazz Piano Improvisation, Accompaniment and Composition
Authors:   , Olgun Can
Published: June 2024

Sophisticated keyboard accompaniments are central to contemporary gospel music, a genre inextricably intertwined with jazz but seldom discussed in jazz scholarship. Deeply rooted in the African American church, contemporary gospel keyboardists and organists such as Travis Sayles, Quennel Gaskin, and Jason White have developed complex harmonization methods to create and (re-)harmonize melodies in real-time. In this, their music-making corresponds to some of the creative and performative processes that characterize jazz piano improvisation and accompaniment but, at times, differs from those models in terms of the harmonic language.

To date, scholars have paid little attention to the commonly used chord voicings, chord progressions, and harmonization techniques (often referred to as ‘movements’ or ‘moves’ by practitioners) in contemporary gospel organ and keyboard playing, nor have they investigated the application of such approaches in the related field of jazz piano performance. This research project explores this gap in the scholarship by analyzing representative gospel organ and keyboard (re-)harmonization and voice leading concepts and proposing ways they can be applied to jazz piano performance – in the contexts of accompaniment and improvisation – and composition.

Drawing on transcriptions of performances shared by artists on social media, my musical exchanges with other church musicians while serving as musical director for an African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in New York, and interviews with practitioners, this dissertation presents examples of chord voicings, chord progressions, and harmonic concepts characteristic of gospel keyboard performance. I also demonstrate, by way of a creative portfolio, how exploring these techniques through creative practice informed my own approaches to (re-)harmonization and improvisation in harmonic frameworks common to jazz standards and my own compositional practices.

Pintando la Transición. El caso del Colectivo Plástico de Zaragoza
Authors: Grau Tello María Luisa
Published: June 2024

Resumen
Durante los años 60 y 70, la pintura mural en el espacio urbano se convierte en una expresión artística que recorre el panorama internacional al calor de los acontecimientos políticos y movimientos sociales que acontecen en diversos países. España forma parte también de esa tendencia que discurre en paralelo, y con especial intensidad, durante los últimos estertores del franquismo y el desarrollo de la Transición. El Colectivo Plástico de Zaragoza es uno de los nombres propios de esta corriente, poniendo en práctica un nuevo modo de entender la creación artística, tanto en su concepción material como en el proceso de creación.
Abstract
During the 60s and 70s, mural painting in urban spaces becomes an artistic expression across the international scene and in the middle of the events and social movements that took place in different countries. Spain is part of that trend that runs during the last death throes of Franco’s regime and the first steps of the Transition. The Colectivo Plástico de Zaragoza is one of the main characters of this artistic scene, putting into practice a new way of understanding artistic creation, both in its material conception and the creation process.
Keywords
Mural painting, poster, sticker, Spanish Transition, Social Movements, resident’s association, neighbourhood.
Market Concentration and Firm Value
Authors: Cha Sangkwon , Hwang Sunpil
Published: June 2024

In this study, we examined the relationship between market concentration using the Herfindahl-Hirschman index and firm values among listed companies in both the markets for the period 2011–2020. We found a negative association between market concentration and firm value. This relationship was mitigated by such factors as dividend payments, auditor size, and financial reporting opacity. This study contributes to the existing literature by corroborating the influences on firm value and addressing the prevailing research paradigm suggesting that market competition is a mechanism for overseeing managerial behavior (i.e., an external corporate governance structure).
FİZİKİ TƏRBİYƏ DƏRSLƏRİNDƏ MƏKTƏBLİLƏRİN ŞƏXSİYYƏT KİMİ FORMALAŞMASINDA PSİXOLOJİ TƏSİRİNİN TƏDQİQİ

Tədqiqat işində əsas məsələlərdən biri inkişafda olan məktəblilərin mənəvi cəhətdən zəngin, şəxsiyyət kimi formalaşan, özünə inamsızlıq hissnin qəbul edilməməsi kimi problemlərin aradan qaldırılmasını təşkil edir.
Güman etmək olar ki, fiziki tərbiyə dərslərində şagirdlər üzərində müşahidə və eksperimentlər aparmaqla müəyyən fikirlər, psixoloji təsir edəcək söhbətlər, nümunələr göstərməklə və nəzəri bilikləri artırmaqla onları daha sərbəst bir səxsiyyət kimi formalaşdırılmasına komək edəcəkdir.
Auditee's intention to implement audit recommendations: A qualitative study based on the theory of planned behavior

Published: June 2024

Previous studies on the implementation of audit recommendations have primarily focused on identifying influencing factors without delving into the specific behaviors of individuals responsible for their implementation. This study aims to analyze auditees' intentions to implement audit recommendations using Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). While TPB is typically applied with quantitative methods, this research employs a qualitative approach to gain a deeper understanding of respondents' attitudes, motivations, and values. The findings reveal five main themes that influence auditees' intentions to implement audit recommendations: lack of engagement, unorganized organizational pathways, the role of decision-makers or policymakers, mutual reluctance toward coordination, and gaps in knowledge and qualifications. Addressing these themes simultaneously is essential for the effective implementation of audit recommendations. Auditees' attitudes toward implementing audit recommendations significantly impact their intentions. However, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control can pose barriers, diminishing their commitment to the implementation process. This nuanced understanding of the factors affecting auditee behavior is crucial for developing strategies to enhance compliance with audit recommendations.
Revisiting EFL students’ language learning autonomy and lifelong learning tendencies
Authors: Dişlen Dağgöl Gökçe
Published: June 2024

The need to learn English is increasing more and more to keep up with the changes caused by globalization. However, what you learn is as important as how you learn it because the way you learn it influences the efficiency, permanence and sustainability of learning. One of these ways in undoubtedly is autonomous language learning. Taking the responsibility of one’s own learning could make the process more concrete and conscious, thus paving the way for lifetime learning. Having such traits gains greater importance at tertiary level where students are expected to be autonomous and lifelong learners. Hence, the present study dwelled upon the probable relationship between language learning autonomy and lifelong learning tendencies of EFL university students. The participants were both English-majoring and non-English majoring students. The data were collected and analyzed quantitatively. The study revealed a positive and significant relationship between language learner autonomy and lifelong learning. EFL students were found to have high beliefs of these constructs. The relation with age, gender and major was also investigated. Pedagogical implications were discussed at the end of the study.
Klâsik Osmanlı Türkçesi döneminde yazılmış Eski Oğuzca Kısasü’l Enbiyâ
Authors: Özkan Zeynep
Published: June 2024

Türk edebiyatında Kısasü’l-Enbiyâ türü Arap ve Fars edebiyatından sonra ortaya çıkmıştır. Türkçe örneğini Harezm sahasında gördüğümüz Kısasü’l-Enbiyâ kısaca peygamberlerin başlarından geçen hadiselerin hikâye edilerek anlatılmasıdır. Türklerin din değiştirmeleri ile beraber tercüme faaliyetleri ve yeni eserler yazma faaliyetleri de beraberinde artmıştır. Bu durum yazı dilinin gelişimine de önemli katkılar sağlamıştır. Türkler, İslâmiyet’e girdikten sonra bu yeni dinin esaslarını öğrenebilmek için birçok eser kaleme almışlardır. Bu makalede de bu amaç için yazılmış bir Kısasü’l-Enbiyâ eser incelenmiştir. Halkı bilinçlendirmek için yazılan, peygamberlerin yaşantılarını ayetler, hadisler ve rivayetler ile destekleyerek anlatan bu Kısasü’l-Enbiyâ mensur olarak kaleme alınmıştır ve 259 varaktan ibarettir. Kısasü’l-Enbiyâ’nın kim tarafından yazıldığı, nerede ve ne zaman kaleme alındığı bilinmemektedir. Eser kapsamının büyük olmasından dolayı incelenen kıssalar arasında en uzun olan kıssa ise Hz. İbrahim kısasıdır. Eserde geçen özelliklerin geçiş dönemi safhasını yansıtıp yansıtmadığı incelenmiştir. İncelemede dudak uyumu, tersine uyumsuzluk, dil uyumuna aykırılık, e> i ses değişiminde görülen ikili şekiller, gelecek zaman ekinin kullanımı gibi özelliklere değinilmiştir. Eserin dil özelliklerinden yola çıkılarak Eski Anadolu Türkçesi döneminin son zamanlarında telif edildiği Klasik Osmanlı Türkçesi döneminde istinsah edildiğini söyleyebiliriz. Bu çalışmayla, Konya İzzeddin Koyunoğlu Şehir Müzesi ve Kütüphanesi’nde 13765 arşiv numaralı Kısasü’l-Enbiyâ tanıtılarak Türk dilinin tarihi gelişimine ve Türk edebiyat tarihine katkı sağlanması amaçlanmıştır.
Mustafa Ulusoy’un romanlarında ontolojik açıdan aşk
Authors: Altın Seval
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışmada Mustafa Ulusoy’un aşk konusunu ele aldığı üç romanına yer verilmiştir. Romanlar, “Ontolojik bir sorgulama alanı olarak aşk konusu nasıl yer almıştır?” sorusu üzerine incelenmiştir. Aşk konusu yazarın mesleği olan psikiyatri ile ilişkili olarak okunmuştur. Yazar, aşk konusunu romanlardaki kişilerin karakterleriyle bağlantılı olarak işlemiştir. İnsanların hayata bakışı, kendilerine bakışı yaşadıkları aşkı etkilemiştir. Aşk daha çok varlık sorunuyla birlikte verilmiştir. Varlığının anlamını arayan kalpler aşkını nasıl yaşayacağını, neden mutsuz olduklarını sorgularlar. Çalışmanın girişinde aşk konusu ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın birinci kısmında yazarın hayatı ve eserleri üzerine bilgi verilmiştir. Çalışmanın ikinci kısmında sırasıyla; Aynalar Koridorunda Aşk, Giderken Bana Bir Şeyler Söyle ve Hayat Apartmanı romanları incelenmiştir. Öncelikle romanların özetine yer verilmiştir. Daha sonra romanda geçen aşk ve ölüm konusu açılmıştır. Aşkın ve ölümün bireyin toplumla, çevresiyle ve kendisiyle olan iletişimine etkisi gözlenmiştir. Romanlarda bireyin karşılaştığı problemler, varlık sorununu anlamlandırmasına etkilemiştir. Bireyin yetiştiği çevre onun psikolojik gelişiminden bağımsız olmamıştır. Birey çevresinden gördüğü etkileşim sonucunda varlığını ve yaşadıklarını anlamlandırma yoluna gitmiştir. Mustafa Ulusoy aslında aşk teması üzerinden insanın varlığını sorgular. İnsan ruhunun fani olan ile tatmin olamayacağını anlatır. Varoluşumuzu anlamlandırabilmek için fani olanın dışında aşkın bir varlığa ihtiyaç duyarız. Bu romanda aşkların getirdiği hayal kırıklıkları ile görülür. Romanlarda aşkın dışında çapraşık insan ilişkileri, insanın tatminsizliği, kendisini öteki ile tanımlaması, varlık, yokluk sorgulamaları işlenmiştir.
Increasing the production of desulfurizing biocatalysts by means of fed-batch culture

Over the past years, environmental regulations have driven a lot of effort for the development of new technologies for the upgrading of fossil fuels. Biotechnology offers an alternative way to process fossil fuels by means of a biodesulfurization technolgy where the production of the biocatalyst is one of the key topics. Traditionally, the production is carried out in batch culture where the maximum cellular concentration is restricted by inherent limitations of the culture type and the microorganism growth rate. This work adresses the production of two desulfurizing microorganisms: Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 and Gordona rubropertinctus ICP172 using fed-batch culture. Fed-batch cultures were conducted in a 12 L fermentor using ICP4 medium containing glucose and DMSO as carbon and sulfur sources. As a result, cell concentration was increased 1.5 and 3 times with fed-batch cultures using constant and exponential flow respectively, achieving a maximum cell concentration of 7.3 g DCW/L of biocatalyst IGTS8 and 12.85 gDCW/L of the new biocatalyst ICP172. Both biocatalysts presented biodesulfurization activity in a spiked matrix (DBT/HXD) and in Diesel matrix with the detection of 2-HBP, which is the end-product of DBT degradation pathway.
El carácter pedagógico de Ignacio Ellacuría. Aproximación formativa, intelectiva y práxica
Authors: Santamaría-Rodríguez Juan Esteban , Nieto-Bravo Johan Andrés
Published: June 2024

El carácter pedagógico de Ignacio Ellacuría es una hermenéutica a la persona y al personaje que representa según su vocación cristiana y jesuita. Es así una interpretación que identifica en el legado del Mártir salvadoreño una pedagogía testimonial, la cual se sitúa en las dimensiones intelectiva, ética y práxica que lo identifican. Al recorrer sus trayectorias formativas, su dinamismo intelectivo y el ámbito de su praxis, se interpreta un carácter pedagógico que se enuncia desde su quehacer cristiano, el encargo de su realidad y su martirio. De ahí que, al considerar la dimensión histórica y mistagógica que la realidad tiene para el Mártir salvadoreño, es un carácter subyacente a su legado intelectual y biográfico, aspectos que intuyen una pedagogía histórica cuyo sujeto pedagógico es un intelectual historizado.
