Report of intradural aneurysm in the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and oculomotor palsy
Authors: Pedrozo Charles Alfred , de Aguiar Guilherme Brasileiro , Veiga Jose Carlos Esteves
Published: June 2020

Background:

Aneurysms of the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) do not usually cause subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We report a patient who presented with this condition due to a ruptured aneurysm located on the posterior genu of the cavernous segment, raising the question of what factors could have led to such evolution.

Case Description:

A 55-year-old male patient presented with sudden, intense thunderstorm headache, associated with complete palsy of the left oculomotor nerve and neck stiffness. Cranial computed tomography (CT) showed no SAH, but showed an expansive process in the sella turcica, consistent with a pituitary macroadenoma. After that, SAH was confirmed by lumbar puncture (Fisher I). Cranial angio-CT revealed an intradural saccular aneurysm in the cavernous segment of the left ICA. The patient underwent cranial microsurgery for cerebral aneurysm clipping. Unlike the normal anatomic pattern, the cavernous segment of the carotid artery in this patient was located in the intradural compartment.

Conclusion:

Intradural rupture of proximal cavernous segment carotid aneurysms is rare. We review the literate for such cases and discuss the possible causes.
A case of dual three-column thoracic spinal fractures following traumatic injury
Authors: Waitt Taylor , Reddy Vamsi , Grogan Dayton , Lane Pearce , Kilianski Joseph , DeVine John , Post Alexander
Published: June 2020

Background:

Thoracic spine fracture-dislocations due to motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) rarely involve double- level, noncontiguous lesions.

Case Description:

A 19-year-old male following an MVA was paraplegic; he exhibited full motor/sensory loss below the T4 level (i.e., ASIA scale Grade A). The chest X-ray, magnetic resonance, and computed tomography studies confirmed T3–T5 and T11–12 fractures, warranting T3–L3 thoracolumbar decompression and fusion. Despite surgical intervention, the patient’s neurological status remained unchanged.

Conclusion:

This case illustrates the rare presentation of noncontiguous, posttraumatic thoracic spinal lesions requiring simultaneous decompression/fixation.
Isolated neuroparacoccidioidomycosis as a pseudotumoral lesion in the absence of systemic disease
Authors: Riechelmann Ricardo Salemi , Rodrigues Leonardo Henrique , Avelar Tiago Marques , Xander Paulo Adolfo , da Costa Guilherme Henrique , Cannoni Luiz Fernando , de Aguiar Guilherme Brasileiro , Veiga Jose Carlos
Published: June 2020

Background:

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic, progressive, noncontagious, and often chronic disease caused by the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis that rarely affects the central nervous system (CNS). The condition is usually treated using antifungal drugs, and some cases may require surgery.

Case Description:

A 55-year-old man, a smoker, without known comorbidities, was referred to the neurosurgery team with a history of a single epileptic seizure a week before hospital admission followed by progressive right- sided hemiparesis. Head computed tomography and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed an intra-axial expansive lesion affecting the left parietal lobe, associated with extensive edema and a regional compressive effect producing slight subfalcine herniation that was initially managed as an abscess. After the failure of antibiotic treatment, the patient underwent a neurosurgical procedure for excision of the lesion. Histopathological analysis revealed that it was PCM and there was no evidence of impairment of other systems due to the disease.

Conclusion:

PCM can be a serious, debilitating disease and is potentially fatal. Although isolated CNS involvement is rare, it must be considered, especially in endemic areas, as late diagnosis and treatment severely decreases good outcome rates.
Comparison of two different titanium cranioplasty methods: Custom-made titanium prostheses versus precurved titanium mesh
Authors: Policicchio Domenico , Casu Gina , Dipellegrini Giosuè , Doda Artan , Muggianu Giampiero , Boccaletti Riccardo
Published: June 2020

Background:

The aim of this study was to compare the results of two different titanium cranioplasties for reconstructing skull defects: standard precurved mesh versus custom-made prostheses.

Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 23 patients submitted to titanium cranioplasty between January 2014 and January 2019. Ten patients underwent delayed cranioplasty using custom-made prostheses; and 13 patients were treated using precurved titanium mesh (ten delayed cranioplasties, and three single-stage resection- reconstructions). Demographic, clinical, and radiological data were recorded. Results and complications of the two methods were compared, including duration of surgery, cosmetic results (visual analog scale for cosmesis [VASC]), and costs of the implants.

Results:

Complications: one epidural hematoma in the custom-made group, one delayed failure in precurved group due to wound dehiscence with mesh exposure. There were no infections in either group. All custom-made prostheses perfectly fitted on the defect; eight of 13 precurved mesh prostheses incompletely covered the defect. Custom-made cranioplasty obtained better cosmetic results (average VASC 94 vs. 68), shorter surgical time (141min vs. 186min), and -fewer screws was needed to fix the prostheses in place (6 vs. 15). However, satisfactory results were obtained using precurved mesh in cases of small defects and in single-stage reconstruction. Precurved mesh was found to be cheaper (€1,500 vs. €5,500).

Conclusion:

Custom-made cranioplasty obtained better results and we would suggest that this should be a first choice, particularly for young patients with a large cranial defect. Precurved mesh was cheaper and useful for single-stage resection-reconstruction. Depending on the individual conditions, both prostheses have their place in cranioplasty therapies.
Analysis of twisted internal carotid arteries in carotid endarterectomy
Authors: Honda Masaru , Maeda Hajime
Published: June 2020

Background:

The twisted carotid artery is a variant, in which the internal carotid artery (ICA) courses medially to the external carotid artery. Due to the sparse descriptions in the literature, we, here, report our experience with cases of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for twisted carotid artery and its clinical features.

Methods:

Fifty-seven consecutive CEA-treated patients were evaluated, and the twist angle was measured on the source images of axial slices of computed tomography angiography (CTA).

Results:

Eight male patients (14.2%) demonstrated a twisted right ICA (mean age, 77.0 ± 2.6 years; and mean stenosis, 66.9% ± 19.9%). The mean twist angle was 30.1° ± 17.9°, while the normal ICA is angled at −23.0° ± 12.3°. No statistical differences in the distribution of coexisting diseases were found between the normal and twisted ICA cases. CEA was successfully performed with the correction of the carotid position in all cases; however, significant position correction was not observed in the postoperative evaluation. Right-side dominancy (P = 0.045) and prolonged clamping time (P = 0.053) were observed in the twisted cases.

Conclusion:

Twisted ICA was preferentially found in the right ICA and men. CEA of the twisted ICA was safely performed with appropriate head rotation and wider longitudinal skin incision than usual without a significant increase in the operative time. CTA is useful for preoperative evaluation. This specific variation should be considered by the neurosurgeon involved in the evaluation and treatment of carotid stenoses.

Authors: Santhosh Raja M  , Venkataramana K
Published: June 2020

Rosuvastatin calcium is a BCS class II drug which is used as hyper lipidemic. Many of BCS class II drugs offer the disadvantage of solubility, to overcome the issue of solubility nanoparticle preparation is an promisable approach. A simple and efficient technique for the preparation of nanoparticles is precipitation technique. Polymeric nano particles have been prepared by employing nano precipitation technique. The nanosuspensions were prepared by using PVP K30, HPMC K15M, Eudragit L100 in various ratios using precipitation technique. The compatibility between the drug and various ingredients are tested by DSC. The formed nanoparticles were evaluated for various testing parameters like particle size, zetapotential, drug content and dissolution testing. Among all the formulations the nanosuspension prepared with Eudragit L 100 showed better characteristics. The dissolution test showed the drug release for 12 hours. The best formulation showed the particle size of 100.5 ± 5.4 nm and zeta potential of -55.1 mv. The invivo studies on the wistar rats showed better pharmacokinetic parameters when compared to the pure drug. Nano precipitation method was successfully employed to prepare Rosuvastatin calcium nanosuspension to improve the dissolution as well as bioavailability.

Published: June 2020

Altered serum lipid levels are linked with varying degrees of cognitive impairment due to various mechanisms. In addition, the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment varies substantially from one region to another. The prevalence of cognitive impairment in relation to altered serum lipid levels on cognitive impairment in the pre-elderly and elderly population is of great importance. Therefore, it is important to characterize the features of mild cognitive impairment with respect to altered lipid profile. This study investigated the association between altered serum lipid levels on cognitive impairment in the pre-elderly and elderly population. The present cross-sectional study was done in 406 pre-elderly and elderly patients. The participants were subjected to demographic data collection followed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Participants were classified into two groups: cognitively-normal (n=289) and mild cognitive impairment (117). Fasting serum lipids of the participants was estimated using venous blood samples by standard biochemical techniques. Differences in the lipid concentrations between the two groups were then compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Significant differences were found in MMSE scores between the cognitively-normal and MCI groups (p<0.05). MCI patients had a significantly lower level of high-density lipoprotein when compared to cognitively-normal participants (p<0.05). In addition, the two groups showed differences in education levels attained. The cognitively-normal group had a greater number of educational years when compared to the MCI group. The study found significant differences in serum lipid concentrations between the cognitively-normal individuals and the mild cognitive impairment group. Future investigations may be needed to explore the effects exerted by lipids on cognitive functions.

Multiple anthropogenic interventions drive puma survival following wolf recovery in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
Authors: Elbroch LM , Marescot L , Quigley H , Craighead D , Wittmer Heiko
Published: June 2020

© 2018 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Humans are primary drivers of declining abundances and extirpation of large carnivores worldwide. Management interventions to restore biodiversity patterns, however, include carnivore reintroductions, despite the many unresolved ecological consequences associated with such efforts. Using multistate capture–mark–recapture models, we explored age-specific survival and cause-specific mortality rates for 134 pumas (Puma concolor) monitored in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem during gray wolf (Canis lupus) recovery. We identified two top models explaining differences in puma survivorship, and our results suggested three management interventions (unsustainable puma hunting, reduction in a primary prey, and reintroduction of a dominant competitor) have unintentionally impacted puma survival. Specifically, puma survival across age classes was lower in the 6-month hunting season than the 6-month nonhunting season; human-caused mortality rates for juveniles and adults, and predation rates on puma kittens, were higher in the hunting season. Predation on puma kittens, and starvation rates for all pumas, also increased as managers reduced elk (Cervus elaphus) abundance in the system, highlighting direct and indirect effects of competition between recovering wolves and pumas over prey. Our results emphasize the importance of understanding the synergistic effects of existing management strategies and the recovery of large, dominant carnivores to effectively conserve subordinate, hunted carnivores in human-dominated landscapes.

Published: June 2020

Introduction: child-to-Parent Violence (CPV) is alarmed in society due to its increase and frequency in recent years. This type of violence is one where the child acts intentionally and consciously, with the desire to cause harm, prejudice and / or suffering to their parents, repeatedly, over time and with the immediate purpose of obtaining power, control and dominance, this behavior could be related to substance use due to the aggressiveness and lack of control that the consumer presents when under the influence of the substance.

Objective: analyze the available literature on the relationship between CPV and drugs consumption in adolescents.

Method: a systematic search was carried out in the PUBMED, EBSCO, Elsevier, Lilacs and Google Scholar databases, to identify articles published between January 2010 and July 2019.

Results: the studies showed that according to the CPV classification, physical violence is the most exerted by men, while women refer more psychological and verbal violence towards their parents, in addition it was found that CPV shows a relationship with the consumption of licit and illegal drugs.

Discussion and conclusions: although the full extent of this form of violence in the Mexican population is unknown, it highlights the importance that the nursing professional design psycho-family interventions to prevent these risk behaviors.
City as Habitat; Assembling the Fragile City

Published: June 2020

The African continent is urbanizing at a breakneck pace and our cities are in a state of crisis. The causes may vary, so also is the degree of severity, but there is a widely felt sense of urban problems requiring urgent solutions. The nature of the problems is complex, with economic, social, educational, political and physical factors playing major roles in exacerbating the situation. Yet, whatever is perceived to be the most serious physical problems in a city, one key underlying question always present is: What can be done about the disaffection of people for their own urban environments? This issue of fragility may be seen in simple terms of a drop in the perceived desirability of the city as a place one can to live, work or shop in. Whatever the name, the fact is that too many Nigerian cities are becoming unattractive to many citizens and residents. This paper aims at identifying the various ways of assembling a fragile city. Through the review of existing literature, the paper highlights the causes of city fragility focusing on three Nigerian cities. It also discusses fragility as the main hurdle to implementing Sustainable Development Goals and how fragile situation birth architecture of fear. Then, it concludes by noting that developing nations in sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria need to be proactive in deconstructing their fragile cities.
Mechanical Behaviour and Microstructure Characteristic of Concrete by Using Freshwater and Seawater
Authors: Mansyur Mansyur , Permana Dian
Published: June 2020

The development of infrastructure in archipelago countries often faces difficulties and challenges due to the lack of fresh water. Hence, in some cases, the usage of seawater is favourable, in particular for concrete making. Little studies have been conducted on comparing the seawater, and freshwater concretes, especially on microstructure analysis. The objective of this study was to reveal the compressive strength, elasticity, and microstructure of concrete using seawater and freshwater as the mixing water. The methodology of this study was mix design, making test specimens, curing test specimens, and microstructure analysis. The tests of concretes were conducted for each sample with variations of 1, 3, 7, and 28 days and the mechanical behavior were tested using compressive strength and elasticity as parameters. At the same time, the microstructure was examined using an X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results showed an increase in compressive strength and elasticity of seawater and freshwater concretes at all variations with insignificant differences observed between the two types of concretes. It was also discovered that the formation of Friedel's salt (3CaO.Al2O3.CaCl2.10H2O) in the seawater concrete was not in the freshwater concrete. In conclusion, the differentiation of microstructure did not significantly affect the compressive strength and elasticity between seawater and freshwater in mixing concrete.
Risks and Opportunities for Reforming Construction with Blockchain: Bibliometric Study
Authors: Darabseh Mohammad , Martins João Poças
Published: June 2020

Emerging technologies are always treated with caution, and Blockchain is no exception to this rule. The AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) sector is considered conservative when it comes to technology adoption, which is often positive in an industry that deals with a vital commodity that could harm humans or result in catastrophe. However, excessive caution also stifles innovation, as shown in the industry’s low R&D expenditure when compared to other industrial activities. In recent years, the AECO sector has benefited from the adoption of new information management tools and systems that allow professionals to develop, share and store construction data more effectively. These tools have successfully tackled many of the traditional interoperability issues that have affected the industry, but several challenges remain unsolved. Indeed, effective real-world communication depends, not only on the compatibility between data formats and systems, but also on issues such as privacy, transparency, and trust. Blockchain has been adopted in different activities as a tool to address these issues, but its impact in the construction industry remains scarce. This paper presents a bibliometric study for the available literature on Blockchain implementation in the AECO sector. In addition to the bibliometric review, content analysis for the literature retrieved is presented to provide a clear vision of the current directions regarding Blockchain technology adoption. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the maturity of Blockchain in Construction literature using statistics based on the available bibliometrics in addition to content analysis. The main results show that although the number of articles about the use of Blockchain in Construction has increased, no studies that present ready to use solutions were found. Instead, the covered studies discuss the technical capabilities of the technology and suggest possible fields of implementation, such as smart contracts and automated payments. Study limitations include the limited amount of literature that can be found on major indexing services, which cover a relatively short reference period.
Eski Türk yazıtlarından çağdaş Türk lehçelerine “tapa” edatı
Authors: YILDIRIM Abdullah
Published: June 2020

Edatlar, tek başlarına anlamı olmayan, fiil ya da isim soylu kelimelerle beraber kullanıldığında anlam kazanan görevli sözcüklerdir. Edatlar yapıları yönünden; isim kökenli edatlar ve fiil kökenli edatlar olmak üzere ikiye ayrılır. İsim kökenli edatlar, isimlere eklenen durum ve iyelik eklerinin zamanla kalıplaşması sonucu oluşur. Fiil kökenli edatlar ise fiil köklerine zarf-fiil ekleri getirilerek oluşturulur. Türk dilinin ilk yazılı kaynakları yoluyla tanıkladığımız edatlar, oluşum yönleri göz önüne alındığında, yazılı kaynaklar öncesine giden dönemler içerisinde oluşturulmuş yapılar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Köken olarak isim ya da fiil durumundaki bu görevli sözcükler, Türk dilinin tarihî dönemlerinde çeşitli din ve öğreti temelinde gelişen metinler aracılığıyla cümle içerisinde isim, sıfat, zarf ve bağlaç olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu yönüyle, eldeki yazı Türk dilinin yazıtlar dönemi olarak bilinen Orhon Türkçesi metinlerinde ilk kez tanıklanan tapa ifadesinin sahip olduğu görünüme dayalı değerlendirmelerden hareketle oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, fiil kökenli, tap- “bulmak” fiilinden türeyen tapa “-e doğru, -e karşı” edatı üzerinde durulmuştur. Öncelikle tapa edatı, eski Türk yazıtlarından başlanarak tarihî ve çağdaş Türk lehçeleri özelinde incelenerek genel bir tarama yapılmıştır.

Babalar, oğullar, utanç ve pişmanlık: Khaled Hosseini’nin Uçurtma Avcısı ve Orhan Pamuk’un Kırmızı Saçlı Kadın’ı
Authors: TÖNGÜR Abdullah Nejat
Published: June 2020

Khaled Hosseini’nin Uçurtma Avcısı (2003) ve Orhan Pamuk’un Kırmızı Saçlı Kadın (2016) romanları, geçmişte işledikleri yüz kızartıcı eylemlerinden dolayı pişmanlık ve utanç duyan, acılarını dindirmek ve travmalarından kurtulmak için çareler arayan pek çok karakter tasviri ile olay örgüsü ve tema olarak oldukça paralellik göstermektedir. Hızla büyüyen İstanbul ve savaşta yakılmış-yıkılmış Kabil’in trajik değişiklikleri arka planda yer alırken, karakterlerin yaşamları kısırlık, uykusuzluk, ciddi hastalıklar gibi tıbbi sorunlarla daha da karmaşıklaşır ve sorunlarını kimseyle paylaşamayan karakterler edebiyatta teselli arar. Romanlardaki hakim olan tatsız atmosfer, hem eylemi gerçekleştirenleri hem de kurbanları farklı biçimlerde ve farklı derecelerde etkileyen ihanet duygusu ile daha da pekiştirilir. Baba katli ve evlat katlinin işlendiği Firdevsi’nin Rüstem ve Sührab ile Sofokles’in Oidipus’u gibi hikayelere sıklıkla yapılan atıflar ve göndermeler baskın olan utanç ve pişmanlık duygusunu artırır ve babalar ve oğullar arasındaki yürümeyen ilişkilerin altını çizer. Akın ve Baba’nın baba olarak şefkat, sevgi ve ilgi göstermedeki yetersizlikleri ve ilgisizlikleri baba vekili olarak betimlenen Mahmut Usta ve Rahim Han tarafından ancak kısmen telafi edilebilir ve Cem ve Amir uzun yıllar bu sevgisizliğin ceremesini çekerler. Her ne kadar işlerinde başarılı olsalar ve çok iyi evlilikler yapsalar da ne Cem ne de Amir geçmişlerinde sebep oldukları utanç verici eylemleri her ne kadar unutmaya çalışsalar da unutabilir, çok uzun yıllar kimseyle paylaşabilir ve tam anlamıyla mutlu olabilir.
Romanda postmodern ögeler
Authors: GÜVEN Emre Bekir
Published: June 2020

Felsefi ve sosyolojik açıdan Postmodernizm’in en çok hangi alana/disipline yansıdığı sorusuna bir cevap bulmak aslında güç değildir. “Postmodern müzik” veya “postmodern sinema” gibi kavramlar “postmodern edebiyat” kadar sık duyulmamaktadır. Ayrıca Lyotard’ın disiplinlerarası ayrımı reddetmesi ve Postmodernite ile birlikte “interdisipliner” ile “transdisipliner” gibi kavramların önem kazanması gibi gerçekler göz önünde bulundurulduğunda Postmodernizm’in edebiyat disiplini ile ilişkisini vurgulamak bu açıdan “mantık dışı”dır. Buna rağmen, “Postmodernizm” ve “roman”ı iki farklı disipline ait kavramlar olarak görsek bile, birbirlerine olan bağları oldukça sıkıdır. Edebiyatın anlatı dünyasının belki de en büyük ürünü olan romanın Postmodernizm’den aldıkları romanı farklı bir boyuta taşımıştır. Postmodern roman göze ilk bakışta bir dönem gibi görünse de bir türdür. Modernite sonrası dönemde yazılmış her romanın postmodern roman olduğunu iddia edemeyiz. Postmodern romanı postmodern roman yapan metinlerarasılık, üstkurmaca gibi öğeler modernite sonrası yazılmış her romanda mevcut değildir. Bunların dışında (bazıları alt tür) montaj, kolaj, pastiş, parodi, ironi gibi tekniklerde de aynı durum söz konusudur. Yazarın dehasını ve okurun aptallığını ön plana süren postmodernist romancı/roman yazarı sayısı, geri kalan sayısız roman yazarının yanında sınırlıdır. Dünyada Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco, Paul Auster, Patrick Süskind; Türk edebiyatından Oğuz Atay, Orhan Pamuk gibi sınırlı sayıda romancılar postmodern roman örnekleri sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, okuma süreci “kaliteli” okur için oldukça yorucu ama bir o kadar zevkli olan, “aptal” okura ancak sınırlı bilgi sunan postmodern romanlar tartışılmaktadır. Postmodern romanların, postmodern öğelerinin neler oldukları irdelenmekte ve okurun bu öğelerden biri haline nasıl dönüştüğü sorgulanmaktadır.
Sabahattin Ali’nin Kağnı ve Kanal öykülerinde sosyal adalet
Authors: ÖNDER Alev
Published: June 2020

Türk hikâyeciliğinin önemli isimlerinden Sabahattin Ali, öykülerinde yoksul ve çaresiz kişilerin yaşamını toplumcu gerçekçi bir bakış açısıyla anlatmaktadır. Yazar, ezilen ve sömürülen insanların dramını yansıtırken toplumsal koşullara dikkat çekmektedir. Toplumsal olayların ürünü olan insanı anlatırken sınıf çatışmaları odak noktasıdır. Ezen- ezilen ve zengin-yoksul çatışması ele alınırken sosyal adalet sorununa işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışmada incelenen Kağnı ve Kanal öyküsünde yoksul kimselerin hayatında adalet mekanizmasının işleyişine dair sorunlar ele anlatılmıştır. Bu öykülerde köylünün yaşam mücadelesi tüm çıplaklığı ile ortaya konulmuştur. Dış gerçeklik ile iç gerçekliğin birbiriyle bağlantılı aktarıldığı öykülerde hem sosyolojik hem de psikolojik unsurlar geniş yer tutmaktadır. Çalışmamızda yazarın toplumcu gerçekçi yaklaşımının öykülerin temasına nasıl yansıdığı araştırılmaktadır. Toplumu iyi, güzel ve doğruya sevk etmek amacıyla yazdığını belirten yazarın edebiyata yüklediği misyonun bu öykülerde izi sürülmektedir. Kağnı ve Kanal öyküsünde uğruna mücadele edilen doğa ile insanın ilişkisine dair betimlemeler kurgunun gücünü ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmamızda kişi ve mekân betimlemelerinin işlevi sorgulanmaktadır. Portrelerin sunumunda ideolojik kaygılar yerine estetik kaygıları ön planda tutan yazarın diğer toplumcu gerçekçi yazarlardan ayrılan yönlerine işaret edilmektedir. İki öyküde de yoksul, çaresiz ve umutsuz kişiler betimlenmektedir. Anlatıcı kişilerin yaşamına yön veren sınıfsal eşitsizliği ortaya koyarken sebep-sonuç bağlantılarına işaret etmektedir. Ezen- ezilen çatışmasının merkeze alındığı öykülerde ezilen sınıfın temsilcilerine odaklanma söz konusudur. Yazar, iktidar sahibi sınıfın temsilcilerinin güç kaynaklarını vurgulamaktadır. Öykülerde çarpık düzenin kuruluşunun kökleri irdelenirken köylülerin çektikleri çilelerin sebeplerine ışık tutulmaktadır. Çalışmamızda neden- sonuç ilişkisi irdelenmektedir. Yazarın basmakalıp sözler ve didaktik anlatımdan uzak durmasını sağlayan unsurlar ortaya konulmaktadır.

Umurü’l-Ümera’nın söyleminde iktidar alameti olarak adalet
Authors: GÜMÜŞ İnan
Published: June 2020

Toplumların kültür ve düşünce hayatlarındaki gelişmeler, farklı disiplinlerin sunduğu verilerle incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Kültürel yaşantıları ve düşünce dizgelerini yansıtması bakımından siyasetnameler de bu incelemelere konu edilmiştir. Bu anlayış doğrultusunda, 16. yüzyılda kaleme alınmış bir siyasetname olan Umurü’l-Ümera’nın içeriğinin önemli parçalarından biri olan adalet kavramı, dilbilim ve felsefenin kesişim alanında konumlanan söylem çözümlemesi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır. Söylem, bir iktidar pratiği olarak ele alındığında iktidarın meşrulaş(tırıl)masına hizmet eden her bir öge bu söylemin bileşeni durumundadır. Karmaşa ortamından çıkılarak toplumsal düzenin tesis edilmesini ve denklik ilişkisi gözetilerek toplumun tüm bireylerinin eşit haklar çerçevesinde yaşamasını önceleyen adalet kavramı, Umurü’l-Ümera’da belirtilen duruma koşut olarak iktidar aracı niteliğiyle işletim alanı bulmuştur. Adalet, yerine göre defter, kılıç, kalem, ayna gibi eğretilemeler üzerinden söylemleştirilmiştir. Adalet dairesi perspektifiyle de devlet ve toplumun sürekliliğinin birbirine bağlı olduğu düşüncesi ortaya konulmuştur. Bu söylemsel oluşumlar tarihsel anekdotlarla pekiştirilmiş, bu bağlamda yöneten-yönetilen ilişkisinin sınırları gözler önüne serilmeye çalışılmıştır. Devlet ve toplum düzeninin ancak adaletle sağlanacağı, adaletin olmadığı durumlarda zulüm ve dolayısıyla kargaşa ortamının baş göstereceği düşüncesi, eserin temel söylemsel görünümünü yansıtmaktadır. Bu noktada adaletin, toplumun bütün kesimlerini kapsaması gerektiği dile getirilerek evrensel olma niteliğiyle ön plana çıkarıldığını söylemek olanaklıdır. Bu çalışmada Umurü’l-Ümera, adalet kavramı merkezinde Türk siyasetname geleneği de göz önünde bulundurularak Fransız düşünür Michel Foucault’nun söylem ve iktidar belirlemeleri çerçevesinde incelenecektir.

The relationship between morphological mastery and vocabulary learning strategies of Turkish EFL learners
Authors: DEMİRAY AKBULUT Fatma
Published: June 2020

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the most or the least preferred vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) by Turkish EFL learners and to examine the relationship between morphological mastery and VLS. The participants of the study consist of 102 Translation and Interpreting department students at a state university in Turkey. The measurement tools used in the study are Vocabulary Size Test (VST) (Nation, 2001) and Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire (VLSQ) (Gu, 2018). Before the questionnaire, VST was administered to the students to determine the vocabulary size levels of them. After the test, students were asked to answer the 5-point Likert type VLSQ. The results of the study were analyzed by SPSS programme using one-way ANOVA. According to the results, the most commonly used strategies by Turkish EFL learners in vocabulary learning are guessing and dictionary strategies. The least frequently used strategies are the use of word lists and visual repetition strategies in the rehearsal category. The results obtained from students who are classified as low, medium and high-level vocabulary size, show that the most frequently used strategies of high level students are selective attention, guessing strategies, dictionary strategies, notebook usage and note-taking (deciding what information goes into notes). In addition, while the vast majority of students think that it is necessary to learn words through use, they believe that memorization does not play an important role in vocabulary learning. This study tends to help English learners who have difficulty in choosing vocabulary learning strategies to get morphological mastery and to lead EFL teachers by showing the advantages of using different strategies for students.
An ecofeminist study of the anthropocene age in David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas
Authors: TAN Cenk
Published: June 2020

David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas is a dazzling postmodern work of fiction which includes six different narratives in six chapters, taking place in six time periods and locations. From the first chapter to the last, the narratives span over five centuries of human whereabouts on earth. Though disparate these chapters may seem at first sight, they are actually interrelated as a whole. In holistic terms, Cloud Atlas represents a brief survey of the anthropocene age, constructed directly from the human activities on this planet. To that end, ecofeminism is a sub-theory of ecocriticism which emerged within the second wave of ecocriticism. The theory mainly defends that the oppression of women and nature is interconnected. This article focuses on how Mitchell reflects women and nature in a multi-layered narrative that evolves in a course of five hundred years. Similarities between the conditions of women and the natural environment are thereby compared and exposed. While maintaining this, the article focuses on three main chapters of the novel which are the initial, middle and the last chapters. Finally, these chapters which represent the initiation, zenith and aftermath of the anthropocene age are analyzed in detail with references to the novel. Finally, it has been concluded that Cloud Atlas ascribes a vital role to women, within the context of the ecofeminist movement, to lead the way for the foundation of an alternative environmental philosophy which will ensure an ecocentric, new world order.

The present study on “An economic analysis of production, marketing and value chain of potato in Bamyan province” undertaken for studying the trend in production, productivity, marketing, value chain, cost of cultivation and problems faced by the farmers in production and marketing of potato. In Bamuan, potato is an important cash crop and source of income of agriculture production. Potato is emerged as an important vegetable crop for Yakowlang district of Bamyan province, with better productivity. Therefore, a study of economics of cultivation, marketing, value chain in Yakowlang district was undertaken. For this study, Yakowlang district and Bamyan center selected because of high level of production. In this study 126 farmers were selected from six villages, three for each district (Bamyan and Yakowlang). Relevant information was collected from the potato producer to know the economics of potato cultivation and analyzed according to various cost concept used in farm management studies. Cost of cultivation of potato calculated from the primary data collected from purposively selected grower of potato of Bamyan province. According to study, using gross margin analysis, net margin of farmers as average is around 134243 AFN per Hectare and according to production and yield of different potato varieties in Bamyan, Kabul and Panjsher provinces. Loura variety give highest yield in Bamyan province i.e. 65.37 Ton per Hectare and similarly in Kabul Amany Variety give highest yield that is 45.71 Ton per Hectare and finally Panjsher province is a major producer of potato in Afghanistan also Amany gives highest yield that is 51.67 Ton per Hectare. Similarly, marketable surplus of three different category of farmers, small farmers are around 88.4 percent, medium farmers were 92.68 percent and large farmers were around 90 percent had marketable surplus. Also major constraints with the farmers in potato production, and marketing ranked first was price instability, followed by high storage charges, uncertainty of water, inadequate marketing facility and spoilage of potato.

The study was conducted to understand the perceptions and local adaptation strategies of rural sahelian communities in Burkina Faso to climate change on ruminant rearing practices. For this purpose, the study was carried out in the rural commune of Bani by collecting primary from semi-structured interviews with 143 producers and secondary data of temperature, rainfall and their spatial and temporal evolution from 2005 to 2016. Analysis of these data reveals that 67.13% of the producers are male and 32.86% female, with an average age of 55 ± 0.3 years. These respondents were agropastoralists with an average of 3.5 ha of cultivated land, using traditional seeds (100% of respondents) and improved seeds (58.7%) and rearing local breeds of ruminants. For climate change, respondents notified an increase in temperature and a decrease in rainfall that corroborates the analysis of the meteorological data collected. The consequences of climate change on livestock farmers' resources are food insecurity, lack of pasture, drought and low animal productivity. The local adaptation strategies applied by livestock farmers are the diversification of agro-sylvo-pastoral production (88.11%) and income-generating activities (70%).  In the study area, diversification is the strategy adopted by agro-pastoralists to ensure food security and provide income to meet the daily needs of families.

The Effect of Figs and Orange Albedo Addition on the Quality Properties of “İncir Uyutması”, A Traditional Dairy Dessert
Authors: ÇAĞLAR Abdullah , AKARCA Gökhan , TOMAR Oktay , GÖK Veli
Published: June 2020

In this research, “incir uyutması”, a local dairy dessert, was produced by adding figs (10%, 15% and 20%) and orange peel albedo (0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6%) layer at different ratios. Produced dairy desserts were stored at 4ºC for 7 days. As a result of the physicochemical analysis, it was determined that dry matter, viscosity, a* (redness) and b* (yellowness) values increased related to the increase in figs ratios whereas pH and L* (lightness) values decreased (p<0.05). The highest viscosity value was determined to be 1 325 cp in the 20 g/L fig and 0.6 g/L orange peel albedo sample. The addition of figs and orange peel albedos had no significant effect on the microbiological values (p>0.05) whereas the total aerobic mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria counts increased during storage (p<0.05). Yeast/mold counts of the samples increased during storage (p<0.05). The highest increase was found in the samples containing 15 g/L figs with 2.46 log CFU/g and 0.6 g/L orange peel albedo. As a result of sensory analyses, the increase in figs ratio was found to be effective on aroma and texture (p<0.05). The addition of orange peel albedo was found to have a significant effect on the aroma scores of the samples, however, it had no significant effects on the texture (p<0.05). Overall evaluation scores increased during the first 5 days of the storage however decreased in the further days (p<0.05). The samples which received the highest sensory scores were 20 g/L figs and 0.6 g/L orange peel albedo sample.
