Street Children Religious Education: A Study on Car Window Cleaning Kids in Jambi
Authors: Isma Asad , Junaidi HB Muhammad
Published: July 2019

Children begin careers on the streets in several locations in the city of Jambi. They work on the streets as street musicians, vehicle glass cleaners, newspaper and tissue sellers, both forcibly and deliberately. Their existence is influenced by some factors, such as family neglect and socio-economic conditions; as well as finding work on the streets and sustaining the work are much easier than looking for work which uses energy or mind. The purpose of this research is to study the religious education of street children who become car glass cleaners which has increased significantly compared to other street professions. This study aims to explore two issues: where the children obtain their religious education and to what extent they practice it in their daily life. Qualitative collecting data techniques were used including observation and interviews. This research found that the street children interviewed in this study only had access to religious education at morning school. They do not attend madrasah, the Qur'an educational school or Taman Pengajian Alquran (TPA), and Sekolah Islam Terpadu. The dominant factors affecting their religious education were their school and their peer group at school. Meanwhile, parents seldom practice the religious duty in family, thus the parents’ influence on the children’s religious practices was minimal. Therefore, this research recommends other actors give early religious education for street children. Religious education can be integrated with their shelter homes which can be their early Islamic religious education.

Published: July 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. BackgroundLiterature reports disquiet in junior doctors' abilities in palliative care prescribing; including distress and low confidence (Charlton and Smith, 2000). We confirmed similar findings following local research thus identifying a development need. This led to the design and implementation of a hand-held prescribing card.ObjectiveUsefulness of the prescribing card in supporting foundation year one doctors was evaluated. We hypothesised this intervention would help improve End of Life (EOL) care. MethodsA mixed methods approach was employed using a specially designed questionnaire, distributed to 39 foundation year one doctors (doctors in their first year of practice after graduating from medical school). Focused questions were on utilisation, levels of prescribing confidence and exploring further interventions that might help, as well as feedback on card design.Results25 doctors completed questionnaires; a response rate 86%. Almost half routinely used the card. 40% were not yet prescribing for EOL situations at the time of the study because of their specific job rotation (e.g. ophthalmology). The commonest motivator was accessibility. All doctors reported increased confidence in prescribing and approximately three quarters said it enhanced practice. "Usefulness" was the commonest free-response descriptor. Feelings included it being a good reference and preventing errors. A development idea included an electronic version.ConclusionResults highlight that a simple hand-held prescribing card is useful. To our knowledge, this is the first UK study of its kind employing an educational intervention in palliative care in a hospital setting. It is important to implement this educational intervention early to support doctors.

Published: July 2019

The presence of smartphones in the classrooms have been the theme of big debates among those involved in educational spaces. It is undeniable that its inclusion in teaching and learning processes approaches the school to the world where the student is in and an important step to elaborate strategies which involves the smartphones use is to know the educational apps functionalities. In this context, this article is proposed to do a systematic mapping of free educational apps to the physics teaching, available at the Android operating system presented in most smartphones and available at Google Play Store. It was adopted as methodology a systematic mapping organized in four steps. At the first moment the research was made with the use of the word “Physics” and 250 apps were found, the second step was intended to select the apps with physics content in Portuguese, which brought the number of 42 apps. Following, the third step was intended to map the specific apps for the physics subjects, excluding those that present in their content several subjects or only exercises collection, finding, so, 25 apps. Lastly, in fourth step, it was made a description of the apps selected from step 3 with more than 10.000 downloads. What was noticed in the description is that practically none presents the contextualization of physical phenomena or simulations, they only highlight nature theoretical or mathematical descriptions.
The role of individual-typological features in the perception of radiation threat
Authors: Hresko M.
Published: July 2019

The object of the study was to determine the role of individual typological features in the perception of the radiation threat. A retrospective and comparative analysis of the psychometric and neurophysiological parameters of participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident (liquidators) was conducted. In the post-accident period the liquidators have a deformation of the personality, which is characterized by the growth of introversion and neuroticism, the sharpening of the character traits of the personality and the increase in the number of accentuations of the emotiveness, pedantry, anxiety, cyclothymia, dysthymia and excitability type. The neurophysiological basis of individual-typological characteristics of personality is defined. Which consists in the growth of the relative and absolute spectral power of the delta band, a decrease in the relative and absolute spectral power of the beta band and a decrease in the dominant frequency. Such changes may indicate an organic lesion of the brain, mainly in the cortico-limbic system. The radiation dose positively correlated with the relative spectral power of the delta and theta band, negatively with the relative and absolute spectral power of the beta band and the dominant frequency. Such features of personality as extraversion, neuroticism, cyclothymia and excitability are positively correlated with the dose of irradiation. At the liquidators, the perception of radiation factors is inadequate: diseases associated with the action of ionizing radiation occupy the fifth rank, the danger from the presence of radiation in the air is rank 8, while the dangerous factors "smoking" and "alcohol use" occupy the last ranked places. The hypertrophied perception of the radiation threat positively correlates with personality traits, such as emotiveness, pedantry, demonstrativeness, anxiety and exaltation.

Published: July 2019

The article reveals the actual problem of young people’s public opinion about interethnic and interfaith relations in multicultural border regions of Russia, which are exposed to the increased impact of cross-border threats to information security. The purpose of this article is to identify the similarities and differences in the orientations and attitudes of perception of interethnic and interfaith relations by the working youth of Krasnodar Region and the Republic of Crimea. The study was conducted on the basis of the results of questionnaire sociological surveys synchronously implemented in the Kuban and in the Crimea (August – October 2018). The novelty of the article lies in the choice of its purpose, the subject of the research and the collected empirical material. As a result of the work, conclusions were drawn about the increased conflictiness of interethnic and interfaith mutual perceptions of working youth in the Republic of Crimea, about the predominance of socio-cultural delimitation “Slavs – Crimean Tatars”, which largely coincides with confessional disengagement. Ethnic distances on the scale of E. Bogardus in the Crimea are clearly pronounced asymmetrical. The area of increased conflict is established in the Dzhankoy district and the city of Simferopol with suburbs. Migration processes and migration policies are perceived by the working youth of Crimea as a less controversial and ethnically marked process than the youth of Kuban.

Ülkeler arasında yaşanan diplomatik krizler, hem iç
hem de dış politikayı ilgilendiren konulardır. Kriz dönemlerinde ülkeler
mesajlarını iletmek üzere karşılıklı olarak açıklamalar yapar ve çeşitli
tedbirler alırlar. Birbirlerini uluslararası alanda tanıyan ve resmi olarak
ilişkilerin yürütülmesinde diplomasi mekanizmasını kullanan devletlerin
ilişkilerinde, özellikle kriz dönemlerinde söylem ve görüntüler değişmektedir.
Bu aşamada; medyanın oluşturduğu haber içerikleri ve kriz taraflarının medya

Published: July 2019

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a ubiquitous cause of morbidity and a leading contributor to mortality in most countries. It has emerged as a major health burden worldwide with atherosclerosis being the major cause.Methods: 150 random cases of different age groups brought for postmortem examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine PGIMS, Rohtak.  Heart was removed and examined after obtaining the consent of next of the kin of the deceased. Gross macroscopic changes were noted and microscopic changes examination was done and reported by preparation of slides in collaboration with Department of Pathology of the Institute.Results: The study group comprised of mostly males (70%) with mean age of 36.90±13.88 years. Almost half of them were in their third and fourth decade of life. 83 cases were found to have atherosclerosis and 25 of them belonged to the age group 40 to 49 years. 82 % of these cases were of male gender. Histopathological grading carried out displayed that Grade III lesions were maximum (27.5%) followed by grade IV lesions (19.0%) and in no section grade VIII lesions were seen.Conclusion: Atherosclerosis has emerged as a new epidemic affecting at a relatively younger age. This study would help in planning of preventive measures directed at the right population. Clinicians could take measures at an early stage to prevent the progression of the disease and will help forensic pathologists in dealing with opinion regarding cause of death.
Can venous blood gas be a reliable substitute for arterial blood gases in modern clinical practice?
Authors: Naz Sabiha , Chugh Kiran , Malik Isha
Published: July 2019

Background: It is clearly mentioned in the medicine books that blood gas analysis from arterial puncture is the gold standard. But in the past few years it is commonly seen that clinicians have started trusting on venous blood gas analysis as well as started advising VBG (Venous blood gas) in the initial diagnosis of critical patients in emergency setting. Keeping this fact in mind, we designed a study to determine whether VBG could be a better replacement of ABG (Arterial blood gases) in the emergency where diverse pathological conditions are encountered.Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study comprised of 50 patients of 20-60 yrs age with a variety of diagnoses admitted in the emergency department. 50 paired samples (ABG+VBG) were obtained from them under strict aseptic precautions after obtaining their verbal consent. With a minimum delay of less than 2 min blood gas analysis was performed on blood gas analyzer. Parameters (pH, PCO2, PO2, HCO3, Base Excess and O2 saturation) from ABG and VBG were recorded and compared using Student’s Unpaired ‘t’ test.Results: pH and HCO3 showed statistical significant (p value <0.05) differences between ABG and VBG, while BE showed statistical non-significant (p value >0.05) difference between them. Contrary to this, PCO2, PO2 and O2 saturation from ABG and VBG showed statistical highly significant (p value <0.0001) differences.Conclusions: VBG should not be interchangeably considered in place of ABG with regard to pH, HCO3, PCO2, PO2 and O2 saturation in conditions where actual oxygenation status of patient is required (e.g.; hypovolemic shock, respiratory disorders, mechanically ventilated patients, etc.)

Authors: Deep Hardeep S. , K. Kamaldeep , Mahajan Devinder S. , Brar Hargurpal S.
Published: July 2019

Background: Currently about 35 million Indians are reported to suffer from diabetes mellitus, a significant proportion of whom are either undiagnosed or diagnosed but undertreated leading to poor glycemic control. This leads to accelerated development of macrovascular complications like Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD). As most of the patients are asymptomatic, hence, early detection and treatment of PVD in patients with diabetes mellitus carries utmost importance.Methods: The present study was undertaken in SGRDIMSAR, Amritsar on 100 patients of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with asymptomatic PVD. The diagnostic accuracy of Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) and pulse oximetry as a screening tool was compared against Color Doppler ultrasonography as the reference standard.Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predicted value of pulse oximetry to diagnose asymptomatic PVD in diabetics was found to be 98.31% (95% CI: 90.91-99.96), 41.46% (95% CI: 26.32- 57.89), 70.73% (95% CI: 65.08-75.81) and 94.44% (95%CI: 70.19-99.19) respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predicted value of ABI to diagnose asymptomatic PVD in diabetics was found to be 77.97% (95% CI: 65.27-87.71), 97.56% (95% CI: 87.14-99.94), 97.87% (95% CI: 86.85-99.69) and 75.47% (95% CI: 65.51-83.29) respectively.Conclusions: Pulse oximetry is better than ABI for the screening for asymptomatic PVD among diabetics. However, ABI is more accurate as compared to pulse oximetry in diagnosing asymptomatic PVD in diabetics.
Microfilarae in malignant mesothelioma associated pleural effusion with blood microfilaremia: a rare association
Authors: Sharma Dinesh Chandra , Sharma Deepanjali
Published: July 2019

Filariasis has a wide spectrum of presentation and usually involves the lung in the form of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia with pulmonary infiltrates and peripheral eosinophilia. Filariasis presenting with pleural effusion is an unusual presentation. Malignancy in association with filarial pleural effusion is extremely rare. In this context, we hereby report a case of 45 year old male who presented with right sided chest pain, cough, fever and generalized weakness. Pleural fluid cytology revealed microfilaria and pleural biopsies from pleural nodules confirmed malignant mesothelioma. Peripheral blood smears taken at night exhibited microfilaria with normal eosinophil counts, which is further uncommon.  Role of filariasis in tumorigenesis is controversial.

Authors: Selgado Melkamu B.
Published: July 2019

Background: Youth reproductive health problems have been an issues of worldwide especially Africa countries, including Ethiopia; in addition to these population took more than two-third of overall population. To address problems effectively, up to date information on adolescent premarital sexual practices and factors related was needed. To determine the magnitude of pre-marital sexual practices and associated factors among high school students in Hawassa city, Ethiopia 2018.

Methods: School based cross-sectional study was conducted among randomly selected sample of high school students of Hawassa city from October 12-22, 2018. A total of 813 students were participated in the study. Data were collected using anonymous self-administered questionnaire. After data was collected, it was coded and entered in to the computer using EPIinfo software and finally exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Descriptive statistics was computed to describe basic socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the participants. Bivariate logistic analysis was done to know the candidate variables (p value less than or equals to 0.25) for multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine significantly associated variable with outcome of interest.  

Results: Study revealed that magnitude of premarital sexual intercourse found to be 11.9% (61 were males and 39 females) of 813 total sample. Drinking alcohol with AOR: l8.43; 95% CI (5.12, 13.94), watching pornographic films with AOR: 5.96; 95% CI (3.80, 9.37), educational status of mother with AOR: 7.35; 95% CI (4.56, 11.89), male sex with AOR: 0.48; 95% CI (0.31, 0.75) has statically association with premarital sexual practices.
Conclusions: One in ten students had premarital sexual practice. Moreover, practicing risky sexual behaviors such drinking alcohols, watching pornographic films and mother education status are found to be predicators. Therefore, it is imperative to bring behavioral change through establishing and strengthening school female reproductive health program and empowerment of women in education.
A clinical study of prevalence of metabolic syndrome in psoriasis patients: a prospective cross-sectional observational study at a tertiary care centre in South India
Authors: R. Reshma , Manickam Navakumar , Gopalan Kannan , Kandasamy Muthusamy
Published: July 2019

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a constellation of risk factors like central obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hypertension and glucose intolerance.Psoriasis is associated with MS and this may be contributed by various inflammatory mediators like interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α which are increased in psoriasis. Aim of the study is to assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in psoriasis patients and to find association between metabolic syndrome and severity of psoriasis using PASI score.

Methods: A hospital based prospective observational cross sectional study was conducted in Vinayaka Missions Medical College and Hospital, Salem over a period of one year (June 2017 – June 2018) involving 100 psoriasis patients, included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were analyzed based on a standard proforma and metabolic syndrome was diagnosed with the South Asian Modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Panel III (SAM- NCEP ATP III).

Results: In the present study, prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 54%. The risk factors noted were female gender (p=0.015), nail involvement (p=0.249), joint involvement (p=0.007) and increasing PASI score (p=0.194).There was no significant association between type of psoriasis and metabolic syndrome. Among the different components of metabolic syndrome, majority of psoriasis patients were having raised fasting blood sugar.

Conclusions: The occurrence of metabolic syndrome is high in Indian population. Therefore apart from getting treated for psoriasis, patients should be screened for components of MS and should be followed up regularly for onset of components of MS.
Treatment of multiple warts: efficacy of homologous autoimplantation therapy and comparison of homologous autoimplantation therapy and cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen
Authors: Suganthy V. , Tharini G. K.
Published: July 2019

Background: Though a multitude of therapies are available, treating warts remains a challenge, more so if multiple. Cryotherapy, a commonly used treatment, has limitations. Homologous autoimplantation is a newer therapy for multiple warts. The aims of the study were to evaluate the efficacy of homologous autoimplantation therapy and compare it with cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.

Methods: Hundred patients with multiple warts (≥5), were randomly selected and divided into two equal groups. One group was treated with cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen and the other with homologous autoimplantation. They were followed up for six months and the time taken for clearance of the lesions, complications and recurrences were compared.

Results: Homologous autoimplantation gave a higher cure rate (78%) than cryotherapy (56%). Complications like blistering, ulceration, scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation were higher with cryotherapy (40%) than autoimplantation (6%). The recurrence rate was 4% in the cryotherapy group and none in the other. But the time taken for the resolution was lower in the cryotherapy group (2.28 weeks) than the autoimplantation group (6.46 weeks).

Conclusions: Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen and homologous autoimplantation are safe and effective therapies for warts but the latter carried a few advantages. The cure rate was higher, complications lower and recurrence was lower. Also autoimplantation can be of help in multiple warts where physical destruction of each and every wart is cumbersome. Hard to treat lesions like periungual warts, showed good results with autoimplantation.
Uniqueness of Dr. JRK’s 777 oil and how rancidity distorts Wrightia tinctoria
Authors: Vadivel Aruna , Venkata Amruthavalli Gatla , Ravi Soundharya , Rajagopal Gayathri
Published: July 2019

Background: Several oil based AYUSH formulations are available for the treatment of psoriasis. In the recent time the importance given to Wrightia tinctoria has totally side-lined the quality of oil used in such preparation. Therefore, the importance of oil used in the formulation with reference to rancidity and how that would affect the therapeutic effect of Wrightia tinctoria needs to be studied.

Methods: In the present study we have adopted the following methods such as acid value, DPPH assay, nitric oxide inhibition, anti-glycation, CAM assay and fibroblast toxicity. The base oil used was studied for the above then the oil that showed least acid value was incorporated with Wrightia tinctoria extract and then studied by the above methods.

Results: The above study clearly show that the activity of Wrightia tinctoria decrease significantly when it was formulated in oil with high rancidity. Whereas the activity of Wrightia tinctoria was well preserved in oil with least rancidity. The contribution of acid value of oil in decreasing the activity of Wrightia tinctoria was much higher than the effect of acid value in increasing DPPH activity, Nitric oxide production, inducing glycation event and angiogenesis and causing fibroblast toxicity.

Conclusions: The present study clearly concludes that the acid value of base oil would not only worsen psoriasis but also can inactivate and convert the herbal metabolites to toxic elements. Due diligence is necessary in preparing AYUSH drugs where not only the quality of herbs should be considered but also the oil base as well.

We describe two cases of low dose methotrexate (MTX) toxicity in patients with psoriasis. Patient was a 49-year-old male, known case of chronic plaque psoriasis from 10 years on and off. He was advised to take MTX 2.5 mg 2 days a week but patient took 2.5 mg twice daily (BD) for 6 continuous days following which he developed ulceration over psoriatic plaques and bone marrow suppression. MTX is safe and effective if adhered to standard treatment guidelines but inadverent use may lead to it’s toxicity.

Authors: Fotoohi Maryam , Hadi Nasrin , Namazi Faezeh
Published: July 2019

Background: The most malignant form of infiltrating astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is one of the most aggressive human cancers. Foretinib diminished GBM cell invasion by downregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2).

Aim: The study aimed to examine the anti-tumor activity of foretinib and to test its effect on MMP2 expression in T98 cells.

Materials and Methods: T98 cells were used as an experimental model of glioblastoma. The effect of foretinib on the expression of MMP2 was evaluated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Thereafter, the effect of foretinib on the enzyme levels of MMP was examined by zymography. Statistical analyses were performed with GraphPad Prism software.

Results: A reduction in the expression of MMP2 was observed with an increase in the concentration of foretinib.

Conclusion: Foretinib treatment leads to downregulation of MMP-2 and has a positive effect on T98 cells. We believe that foretinib can be subjected to further clinical investigation to develop a treatment for GBM.

Rusya’daki 1917 yılındaki Ekim İhtilali’ni müteakip Bolşeviklerle (Kızıllarla) Çarlık rejimi yanlıları (Beyazlar) arasında yaşanan iç savaş sırasında ve sonunda, 1919 ve 1920 yılarında Bolşeviklerden kaçarak ve Rusya’dan ayrılarak Osmanlı Devleti’ne sığınan on binlerce Rus mülteci, Türkiye’de birçok çalışmaya konu olmuşlardır. Bu çalışmaların büyük bir çoğunluğu, İstanbul’daki Rus mültecileri, onların İstanbul ve çevresindeki yaşamlarını, İstanbul’daki sosyal, kültürel ve eğlence hayatına etkilerini ele alırken, bir kısmı da Gelibolu’daki Beyaz Ordu’yu incelemektedir. Bunlardan bazılarında Beyaz Rus mültecilerin Anadolu’da da varlık gösterdiğine dair genel birtakım bilgiler sunulmakta, hatta birisinde bazı kısa bilgiler de verilmektedir. Ancak hiçbirisinde Anadolu’daki Rus mülteciler ayrıntılı bir biçimde ele alınmamıştır. Rusça bazı arşiv kaynakları ve ATASE ve Başbakanlık Cumhuriyet Arşivi’nden bazı belgeleri temel alan bu çalışmada, Anadolu’daki Rus mülteciler hakkında bilgiler verilecek ve değerlendirmeler yapılacaktır.
British Council, Köy Enstitüleri ve Savaş Ortamında Kültürel Diplomasinin Yollarını Aramak

Türkiye’de Cumhuriyet’in ilandan sonra siyasal alandaki devrimlere hız

verilmesiyle çağdaş bir devlet yapısı oluşturulmak istenmiş, girişilen radikal

reformlarla yalnızca idari modernleşme hedeflenmemiş, bunun yanında toplumsal yapının

da dönüştürülmesi için önemli adımlar atılmıştır. Ancak, siyasal alanda umulan değişimin

kısa sürede elde edilmesinden farklı olarak, Osmanlı’dan devralınan katılaşmış

ve geri plana itilmiş insan sermayesini dönüştürmek bilindiği gibi kolay

olmamıştır. Her şeyden önce, şehir merkezlerinde toplulaşmış okur-yazar kesimin

genel nüfusa göre oldukça düşük bir oranı teşkil etmesi, Cumhuriyet

idarecilerinin yüz yüze kaldıkları ciddi bir sorundur. Öte yandan 1928 yılında

Latin harflerinin kabulünden sonra vatandaşların eğitilmesi meselesi dönemin temel

gündem maddelerinden birini oluşturmuştur. Bilindiği gibi, toplumsal

kalkınmanın temel dinamiklerinden biri olan nitelikli insan sermayesinin elde

edilmesi için Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarında yoğun çabalar sarf edilmiştir. Bu

doğrultuda 17 Nisan 1940 tarihinde kabul edilen 3803 sayılı Köy Enstitüleri Kanunu

ile okul ve öğretmenden yoksun bölgelere ulaşılmaya çalışılarak taşranın eğitim

ihtiyacına cevap verilmeye çalışılmıştır. Köy Enstitüleri ile ilgili genel

kabulün aksine bu sistemle yalnızca öğretmen değil, aynı zamanda teknisyen,

sağlık personeli ve modern tarım tekniklerinden haberdar eğitimli yeni bir

insan profili yetiştirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Köy Enstitüleri’nin 1940’ların

sonlarından itibaren, bir dönüşüm sürecine girildiği bilinmekle birlikte, bu

enstitülerin Anadolu aydınlanmasının özgün bir örneği olduğu gerçeği göz önünde

tutulmalıdır. Nitekim bahse konu olan dönemde Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren

British Council yetkililerinin Londra’daki merkez büroyla yazışmalarına konu

olan Köy Enstitüleri özgün ve dikkat çekici ölçüde başarılı bulunmuştur.

Dahası, British Council yetkililerinin girişimleriyle Köy Enstitüleri ve

İngiltere’de benzer faaliyetler yürüten Young Farmers Club arasında eğitim

temelinde işbirliği kurulması için çalışılmıştır. Hatta o dönem için radikal

sayılabilecek öğrenci değişim programı gibi uygulamalar için de British Council

yetkilileri Köy Enstitüleriyle işbirliği olanağı yaratmaya çalışmışlardır. Bu

çalışmada incelenen British Council evrakından yola çıkılarak Cumhuriyet döneminde

girişilen reformlar arasında günün şartlarından doğmuş, özgün bir uygulama olan

Köy Enstitülerine farklı bir pencereden ışık tutulmaya çalışılmıştır.  
İngiliz Doğu Hindistan Şirketi’nin Yerli Birlikleri: Sepoy Ayaklanması

17.

yüzyılın hemen başında uzun soluklu Hindistan serüvenine başlayan İngiltere

menşeli Doğu Hindistan Şirketi, bu topraklarda kalıcı olmak istiyordu. Bu

doğrultuda bölgeye gelen devletlerin aksine öncelikli olarak daha ılımlı ve

kalıcı ticari ilişkilere yönelen şirket kısa zamanda Babürlü sarayında bir etkinlik

sahası tesis etti. Sahip olduğu etkinliği ve beraberindeki kazanımlarını koruma

zorunluluğu doğduğundan askeri yapılanma politikası gütmeye başladı. Özellikle

ticari merkezlerin korunması konusunda hassas bir politika güden şirket, İngiliz

askerlerin yanında yine İngiliz subayların emri altında olmak üzere asker

ihtiyacını yerli halktan karşılamaya başladı. Başlarda var olan yüksek sadakat

yerini bağımsızlık dürtülerinden beslenen ayaklanmaya bıraktı. İngiliz Doğu

Hindistan Şirketi’nin yetiştirdiği askerler şimdi İngilizlere karşı duruyorlardı.

Birçok sebebin sonucunda yardımcı birlikten isyancı asi ordusuna dönüşen

Sepoylar işte bu noktada Hindistan tarihinde bağımsızlık hareketinin öncüleri

olarak anılacaklardı. Bu çalışma, Sepoyların İngiliz Doğu Hindistan Şirketi

ordusunun bünyesine nasıl dahil olduklarından bahsedecek ve sonrasında hangi

nedenlerden dolayı bir ayaklanma başlattıkları üzerinde duracaktır. 
Advertisement at Izmir Press During Early 20th Century

Published: July 2019

Izmir has become a centre of attraction for the capital owners of Western European countries that have completed the process of industrialization. As a window to the west, Izmir is no different from the European cities in the early 20th century in terms of cultural and social aspects. For this reason, local and foreign brands advertised in local newspapers in order to market their products and bring them together with consumers. On the advertisement pages of the newspapers, the consumer can find all kinds of products even the ones that are not looked for. This makes commercials invaluable resources in terms of reflecting the social and economic picture of the period. These ads which are particularly rich in content are used not only for product promotion but also for promoting a service to the public. It is observed that these services are mainly about healthcare.
Bolşeviklerin Geçici Hükümeti Devirme Girişimi: 1917 Temmuz Ayaklanması
Authors: SADIGOV Ramin
Published: July 2019

1917 yılı Rusya için çalkantılı bir yıl oldu. Ülkede

art arda gelişen olaylar Çarlık rejimini yıkılmaya kadar götürdü. Yönetimi Geçici

bir hükümet devraldı, lakin onun icraatları devrimi yapan örgütleri pek memnun

etmedi. Özellikle Bolşevik Partisi ilk günden itibaren hükümetle uzlaşmayarak

ona karşı faaliyetlerde bulundu. Dahası diğer partileri de hükümetle iş

yapmakla suçlayarak Temmuz ayında bir ayaklanma girişimi yaptı, lakin başarısız

oldu. Türkiye’de Bolşeviklerin faaliyeti üzerine yapılan çalışmalarda

genellikle Ekim Devrimi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bunun nedeni Ekim ayındaki

devrimi başarıyla sona erdirmiş olmalarıdır. Fakat onların Ekim’den önce de bir

ayaklanma girişiminde bulundukları ve hükümeti devirmek istedikleri bilinmektedir.

Yalnız bu hususun çalışmalarda pek yer almadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bundan

dolayı çalışmada Bolşeviklerin Temmuz’daki ayaklanma girişimi incelenmiş, nasıl

hazırlandıkları ve taraftarlarını ne denli organize ettikleri üzerinde

durulmuştur. Çalışma esnasında dönemin resmi ve gayri resmi basını, ilk dönem

Sovyet kaynakları ve son dönem araştırmaları üzerinden Bolşeviklerin ayaklanma

girişimindeki rolü tetkik edilmiştir. 
The Activities of the Hejaz and Egypt Committees that were invited to Paris Peace Conference after the World War I
Authors: YAVUZ Resul
Published: July 2019

When the Paris Peace Conference convened with great hopes after World War I, though the Hejaz delegation headed by Faisal and the Egypt delegation headed by Saad al Zaghlul represented different states, one of them hoped to establish a new state, while the other hoped to go to Paris to get its independence from Britain. The conference was held in January 1919, and when the Allies went to Paris, they invited the Hejaz delegation to the conference with the special effort and incentive of the Britain, while the Egyptian delegates were deported to Malta solely because of their demands. Peace conference attendees carefully listened to Faisal’s demands. Egypt was the scene of major social outbursts, beginning with the shocking effect of the arrest of their heads of the committee Saad al Zaghlul and his colleagues. While Zaghlul and other nationalists were allowed to be released and go to Paris to prevent the events from going back to a great extent; the attempts to declare Egypt's independence, with justifiable claims, met with the blockade of Britain and the delegation returned to Egypt with empty hands. Although the Hejaz delegation under the leadership of Faisal listened with interest in Paris, the Allies wouldn’t follow through on many things they promised.
Rozwój koncepcji treści ekonomicznej (substance) w Wielkiej Brytanii
Authors: Rusek Joanna
Published: July 2019

Jednym ze sposobów przeciwdziałania unikaniu opodatkowania jest poszukiwanie i badanie w działaniach podatników elementu treści ekonomicznej (ang. substance). Może to nastąpić w formie opartych na elementach substance doktryn orzeczniczych, a także w formie konkretnych zapisów ustawowych (np. skodyfikowanych klauzul ogólnych przeciwko unikaniu opodatkowania). W Wielkiej Brytanii doktryny orzecznicze oparte na koncepcji substance nie znalazły szerszego zastosowania. W szczególności na gruncie brytyjskim nie przyjęły się doktryny funkcjonujące np. w Stanach Zjednoczonych (economic substance, business purpose, substance over form). Natomiast doktryny wypracowane przez rodzime orzecznictwo (zasada Ramsay, New Approach) ostatecznie nie dały możliwości rozstrzygania na podstawie treści ekonomicznej, z pominięciem litery prawa. Element treści ekonomicznej został natomiast w sposób pośredni uwzględniony w brytyjskiej klauzuli ogólnej przeciwko nadużyciu prawa podatkowego.
Klauzula "beneficial owner" w prawie chińskim – kluczowe zagadnienia
Authors: Cieślewicz Natalia
Published: July 2019

Celem niniejszej pracy jest zbadanie rozumienia pojęcia beneficial owner w Chinach. Termin ten został wprowadzony do Modelowej Konwencji OECD 1977 r. w celu zapobieżenia wykorzystania art. 10–12 przez agentów, którym przysługuje prawo do dochodu. Od niedawna do polskiej Ustawy o CIT wprowadzono definicję klauzuli beneficial owner, co zainspirowało autora do dalszych rozważań. Fakt wprowadzenia Chin w 2001 Prawa Trustów sprawił, że warto bliżej przyjrzeć się funkcjonowaniu instytucji powiernictwa i własności uprzywilejowanej w Chinach. W przeciwieństwie do Polski Chiny nie zdecydowały się na zdefiniowanie pojęcia beneficial owner, ale chińska administracja podatkowa regularnie publikuje wytyczne odnośnie możliwości skorzystania przez podmiot z klauzuli beneficial owner.
Niejednolite stosowanie definicji pojęć prawnych w prawie podatkowym
Authors: Halasz Artur
Published: July 2019

W niniejszym artykule autor przedstawia problemy ze stosowaniem definicji legalnych oraz operatywnych definicji prawnych. Analiza orzecznictwa sądów administracyjnych oraz praktyki organów podatkowych wskazuje na niejednolite stosowanie tych definicji przy rozstrzyganiu konkretnych spraw podatkowych. Konsekwencją dla takiego ustalania rozumienia pojęć prawnych zawartych w ustawach podatkowych jest brak przewidywalności rozstrzygnięć dla podatników (szerzej adresatów norm prawnopodatkowych).
