Authors: Kuşku Özdemir Emel
Published: September 2024

Bireysel internet kullanımının yaygınlaşması kurumlar için tüketicilerin kurumsal iletişim strateji ve uygulamalarında söz sahibi oldukları büyük değişimler yaratmıştır. Sosyal medya platformlarında kullanıcılar (tüketiciler/kurum temsilcileri) tarafından paylaşılan içeriklerin kısa bir sürede büyük kitlelere ulaşabilme özelliği kurumlar için hem avantaj hem de dezavantaj oluşturabilecek yenilikleri beraberinde getirmiştir. Hatta sosyal medyanın interaktif iletişimi olanaklı kılan doğası zaman zaman kurumlar için tehdit oluşturan örneklerin de yaşanmasına neden olmuştur. Günümüzde özellikle üst düzey yöneticilerin sosyal medya platformlarındaki artan görünürlüğü ve kurum sözcülüğü temsilleriyle şahsi sosyal medya hesaplarından yaptıkları paylaşımlar, kurumlar için krizlere neden olarak yıllarca özenle inşa edilen itibarı da kısa sürede zedeleyebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, 20 Nisan 2024 tarihinde bir tüketicinin X (Twitter) sosyal medya platformu üzerinden Patiswiss ürünlerinin küflü çıkması üzerine yaptığı paylaşımla ortaya çıkan kriz süreci konu alınmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Patiswiss krizinin iletişim süreci krizin ortaya çıkışı, kriz anı ve sonrası olmak üzere X paylaşımları üzerinden vaka analizi yöntemiyle incelenmektedir. Çalışmada kriz iletişiminde kurum sözcülüğünü üstelenen kişilerin sosyal medyadanın kriz iletişimi sürecinde taşıdığı riskleri doğru yönetemediği bir vakanın betimsel analizi yapılmış olup, sosyal medyada etkin kriz iletşimi yönetimi için öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Bulgular, Patiswiss örneği üzerinden tüketici ve kurum kriz iletişim sözcüsü arasında gerçekleşen yanlış iletişimin markaları büyük itibar krizlerine sürükleyebileceğini, maddi ve manevi varlıklarını tehdit edebileceğini göstermektedir.

The Effect of Teachers’ Age on Their Beliefs about Action Research: Implications for Second Language Education
Authors: Rahmani Doqaruni Vahid
Published: September 2024

Despite the growing body of studies on action research (AR) in second/foreign language (L2) education, little is known about teachers’ beliefs about AR among different age groups. Hence, this study investigates whether L2 teachers’ beliefs about AR vary by considering teachers’ age. The Inventory on Teachers’ Beliefs about Action Research (ITBAR) is a specifically designed questionnaire to investigate the matter and was distributed to 157 Iranian ELT teachers. Then 120 teachers were randomly divided into three age groups, namely starters (20–34 years), middle-aged (35–49 years), and seniors (50+). A one-way ANOVA test was used to test whether the difference among the groups was significant. The findings showed that teachers can experience age effects in the demanding teaching profession. According to the data, younger teachers had the highest mean scores for their beliefs about AR in comparison to their middle-aged and senior colleagues. This might be attributed to the different perspectives of these teachers toward professional development, the role of pre-service teacher programs, and the familiarity of senior teachers with the limitations of conducting AR in real classroom contexts. It is then suggested that designing collaborative AR projects between beginning and senior teachers and institutional support might lead to more fruitful and positive results.
Enhancing Reading Skills through Scaffolding Strategies in Eighth-Grade EFL Students
Authors: Pérez Buelvas Hernán Gabriel
Published: September 2024

This research focuses on how designing, implementing, and evaluating didactic strategies and activities based on scaffolding with visualization and the use of graphic organizers guide the process of reading comprehension in an eighth-grade public school course placed at A1 level. The research methodology was framed as action research with a mixed-method approach and a quasi-experimental design with no control group. There were 31 participants aged 12 to 18. The research design implied (1) a pretest, (2) a diagnostic analysis, (3) intervention, (4) a posttest, and (5) final analysis. After gathering information from the pretest initial diagnostic data, the pedagogical intervention with ten task-like scaffolding activities was applied and assessed with rubrics. Posttest data were collected and accounted for from the researcher’s journal notes. Both reading comprehension tests, the pretest, and the posttest had 21 questions divided into literal, inferential, and evaluative levels. Results obtained using descriptive statistics exposed, from the posttest, some improvement in the literal and evaluative level questions but a slight decline in inferential level questions contrasted with the pretest results. Data demonstrated that some external factors like time, academic aids, and responsibility influenced the outcome positively or negatively.
Inner Speech and Speed Reading: An Analysis of Written Texts Internalization
Authors: García Cobo Francy Lorena , Jurado Soto Edgar Willian
Published: September 2024

Silent reading frequently entails engaging the “inner voice,” a phenomenon in which individuals sub-vocally articulate words in their minds. This inner voice is understood to stem from the internalization process, wherein external verbal speech transitions into internal dialogue. However, the mechanisms through which foreign language learners internalize written content, particularly in a speed-reading framework, remain under-explored due to the inherent difficulties in observing such a process. To shed light on this, a qualitative study was carried out; it employed journals and the recall technique to examine the initial stages of internalization of written text by foreign language learners within a speed-reading program. This program aims to enhance the pace and comprehension of reading English texts. The study reveals that learners start to internalize the written language through a series of inner speech uses such as subvocalization, literal translation, repetition, fluent reading, and the formation of mental imagery associations with the language. The findings further indicate that, as learners advance in the speed-reading course, their mental translation efforts become more subconscious, facilitating the transition to using inner speech as a cognitive tool through associations with mental images. This shift may play a crucial role in the efficiency and efficacy of acquiring reading skills in a foreign language.
Dios Nos Hizo Diferentes: Children’s Spiritual Activism in an EFL Classroom
Authors: Marroquin Angie , Peñaloza Anna Carolina
Published: September 2024

Though language education and research have pushed back against traditional, hegemonic ways of teaching, they continue to exclude conversations on spirituality. Moreover, a deficit lens in language education perpetuates a focus on what needs to be improved rather than on our students’ assets. In this pedagogical intervention, we begin by weaving the work of feminists of color to discuss what asset-based, desired-based research and feminist pedagogy can contribute to understanding children’s spiritual activism. We worked with 31 fourth graders in a private school in Duitama, Colombia. As the study took place during the pandemic and mass mobilizations, the children shared their spirituality to cope with reality. Furthermore, the children’s spirituality demonstrated their belief in a higher power, positive emotions to comfort others, hope for a better future, and an understanding of equity based on race and gender. We invite language educators and researchers to create spaces for children to share their spiritual activism through the integration of feminist pedagogy focused on asset and desire-based approaches.

Authors: Debeij Gijs , Jonis Yasmine , Karavolia Eleftheria , Hulst René van der , Qiu Shan-Shan , Mulken Tom van
Published: September 2024

Aim: Current microsurgical procedures are limited by the physiological tremor and dexterity of the surgeon. The MicroSurgical Assistant (MUSA, Microsure), the world’s first robotic platform for (super)microsurgery can aid in resolving issues encountered during microsurgery. This study presents an overview of the operating times and Structured Assessment of Microsurgery Skills (SAMS) scores to assess the duration and quality of microsurgical anastomoses for three microsurgical procedures currently performed using the MUSA.

Methods: This study integrates data from one ongoing randomized controlled trial focusing on robotic-assisted lymphaticovenous anastomosis, along with findings from two separate prospective pilot studies concerning digital nerve repair and free tissue transplantation. SAMS scores and time needed per anastomosis were used to evaluate the quality and learning curve of the MUSA-assisted procedures.

Results: Thirty-five robotic-assisted procedures were analyzed, including 18 lymphaticovenous anastomoses, 9 digital nerve repairs, and 8 free tissue transplantations. All procedures showed a trend of a decrease in the time needed to perform the procedure. Moreover, the mean overall SAMS scores for all three procedures were rated above ‘satisfactory’, with all procedures demonstrating a consistent trend of increasing SAMS scores over time.

Conclusion: The evaluation of anastomosis’ quality in the initial cohorts of patients undergoing robotic-assisted microsurgery using MUSA indicates satisfying outcomes across all three types of procedures. The reduction in anastomosis time and the improvement in SAMS scores imply an ongoing learning process among the operating surgeons. Subsequent reports are expected to provide information on reaching a plateau phase in procedural efficiency.

Published: September 2024

Neurodegenerative diseases usually present as progressive impairment of the motor or mental functions of the central or peripheral nervous system, which is often linked to genetic and biochemical factors. The main features include synaptic and neuronal deficits, abnormal protein homeostasis, DNA and RNA defects, inflammation, and pathological protein aggregation. Clinical evidence suggests that circadian rhythms affect different neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, through oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and other mechanisms. Disruptions in circadian rhythms, which are often linked to alterations in RNA modifications, contribute to disease progression. This review provides an overview of current research progress on neurodegenerative diseases and outlines their relationship in terms of aberrant circadian rhythm, highlights the role of RNA modifications in circadian rhythm-regulated neurodegenerative diseases, and presents the potential applications of RNA-based drugs for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
Copper and liver fibrosis in MASLD: the two-edged sword of copper deficiency and toxicity
Authors: Lonardo Amedeo , Weiskirchen Ralf
Published: September 2024

Copper is a trace metal whose absence or deficiency can cause structural and functional alterations that can be corrected by copper administration. Copper excess is associated with significant liver toxicity, such as that seen in Wilson’s disease, which often exhibits liver steatosis and can be managed by copper sequestrants. Copper, due to its ability to either accept or donate electrons, is a cofactor in many physiological redox reactions, playing an essential role in cell energy homeostasis, detoxification of reactive oxygen species, and hepatic immunometabolism. Given these facts, it is reasonable to speculate that copper might be involved in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis in the setting of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD). To address this research question, a narrative review of published studies was conducted, spanning from the needs, sources, and toxicity of copper to Menkes and Wilson’s disease. Most epidemiological studies have demonstrated that MASLD is associated with copper deficiency. However, several studies show that MASLD is associated with copper excess and very few conclude that copper is not associated with MASLD. Therefore, the putative pathomechanisms associating both copper excess and deficiency with MASLD development and progression are reviewed. In conclusion, epidemiological and pathogenic data support the notion that well-balanced copper homeostasis is a prerequisite for liver health. Accordingly, both copper excess and deficiency may potentially predispose to liver fibrosis via the development of MASLD. Therefore, studies aimed at restoring normal bodily stores of copper should be tailored according to precision medicine approaches based on the specific features of copper metabolism in individual MASLD patients.

Authors: Torres Jony R. , Villeda-Chávez Edgar , Arreola-Lizárraga José A. , Tovilla-Hernández Cristian , Infante-Mata Dulce , Barba-Macías Everardo
Published: September 2024

The mangrove ecosystem is recognized as one of the most productive worldwide; in most cases, this productivity has been quantified through the amount of leaf litter produced per unit area and time. However, there is a large variability in the values recorded for each latitudinal interval, which has been attributed to the diversity of local environmental characteristics. Managing leaf litter production data is the first consideration for the technical management of mangrove resources as an ecosystem. The present review (scientific articles, theses, reports, etc.) shows an analysis of the productivity of mangroves in Mexico, with the objective of synthesizing the knowledge of leaf litter production generated by different structural types of forests, described and explained according to environmental conditions. We consulted 68 publications, where the highest value of litterfall contribution (19.30 Mg/ha/year) was recorded in Atasta, Campeche, a semi-humid tropical region, and the lowest (1.75 Mg/ha/year) in Las Guá-simas, Sonora, a semi-arid subtropical region. The causal factors of leaf litter fall correspond mainly to precipitation, salinity, nutrients, structure, and physicochemical parameters of the interstitial water. It is important to increase and unify efforts between governmental agencies and research centers to generate and organize existing data on the mangrove’s primary productivity for a better understanding of the patterns and controls of the productivity and health of these coastal ecosystems.

T'ien-kung K'ai-wu recognized as the first technological classic includes both agriculture and handicraft production. From the standpoint of transknowletology, this study examines how ancient science and technology terminology was translated in E-tu Zen Sun's English rendition of "T'ien-kung K'ai-wu." In accordance with the criticism tools and three criticism criteria for translation that were put forth by Professor Meng Xiangchun and Professor Yang Feng, the research findings elucidate the following characteristics of ancient science and technology terminology in "T’ien-kung K’ai-wu". Adhered to the principle of real meanings, the translator sought the genuine meaning within the " area of knowledge identity" and the " greatest common divisor" of knowledge. Under the premise of full preparations, the translator employed in-text interpretation and out-text explanation to facilitate communication and address the "scissors differential of knowledge" within the "area of knowledge discrepancy". Furthermore, under the principle of target text aesthetic conceptions, the translator could pay attention to the audience′s aesthetics and " area of knowledge conflict" , thereby fostering the " knowledge glocalization" come into being through free translation. The research findings hold significant value for the characteristics and techniques of translating scientific and technical terms in "T'ien-kung K'ai-wu" into English.
Research on the Matching of Supply and Demand of Basic Public Education Services in the Main Urban Area of Zhengzhou Based on Accessibility
Authors: Luo Haoyu , Guo Menghao
Published: September 2024

There is an imbalance between urban and rural people in basic public education services. At present, there are few studies on the matching of supply and demand considering the actual living population of residential communities at the street level and the number of degrees provided by basic public education services. From the perspective of the matching of supply and demand of basic public education services in space, taking Zhengzhou as an example, this paper makes an in-depth analysis of the accessibility of primary and secondary schools in the main urban area of Zhengzhou by improving the two-step mobile search method, and further analyzes the spatial imbalance of supply and demand matching. The results show that most of the central areas in the main urban area belong to high demand and high supply areas, but they still cannot meet the needs of educational resources, and the matching degree of supply and demand of educational resources in primary and secondary schools is low. The periphery of the central area, namely the southwest of Erqi District, the north of Huiji District and the northeast of Jinshui District, belongs to the low-demand high-supply or low-demand medium-supply area, and the supply and demand matching degree is high. The competent authorities need to pay close attention to the development trend of the city and the change of the resident population, so as to adjust the layout of educational resources in time. Encourage and support the flow of high-quality educational resources to marginal areas, narrow the educational gap between regions, and steadily promote the goal of high-quality and balanced basic public education services.
Confessional Poetry Revealing Contemporary Realities Through Self Agonies
Authors: Smriti Dr. Richa
Published: September 2024

Poetry is the communication of experiences in the form of art. The experiences which defined as poetry of the personal is called confessional poetry. Confessional poetry is the frank expression of personality. This poetry is of self-revealing in nature as it seeks to reveal the poets' state of mind and their feelings. Sylvia Plath, Kamala Das, Anne Sexton and Andrienne Rich are best examples of confessional poets. They universalized the sufferings and surmounting pain of womanhood through the lens of their own experiences in their lives. Their works demonstrate the tragedy of life of being a woman in a patriarchal based structure of society. In subject matter, confessional poets concentrate on the history of their own lives.

Authors: Shukla Nitin Kumar , Mittal Dr. Ayush , Dubey Mr. Devi Charan , Tiwari Ashwini
Published: September 2024

Abstract: The study examined the viability of using waste supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), such as fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF), as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland cement. The way SCC's fresh properties and hardened were impacted by FA and SF. The study examined the fresh characteristics and hardened characteristics of various distinct SCC mixes using SCC with partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement with FA (class F) and SF. First, the cement was replaced by percentages in the mixes 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% by FA and constant replacement of 10% by SF. Then cement was replaced by percentages in the mix with 25% FA constant and 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 12% by SF. For every combination, the water/binder (w/b) ratio was set at 0.43. The EFNARC (Specification and Guidelines for Self-Compacting Concrete) standards were met by the slump flow, T50, and viscosity of the SCC. After 28 days of curing, the blend consisting of 65% PC, 25% FA, and 10% SF had a maximum compressive strength of 41.22 MPa which is 12.07% greater than the compressive strength of the control specimen which is 36.78 MPa. The Split Tensile Strength of the same blend is 4.37% is greater than the control specimen. Non-destructive tests were also performed after 28 days of curing and the regression equations give the excellent relationship between Rebound Number, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, and Compressive Strength. This is due to the formation of the proper matrix as the particle size of SF and FA is less than that of cement and the free lime of cement reacts with FA and SF to form C-S-H gel which provides strength.

JEWISH ANTAGONISM AS PORTRAYED BY HAMKA IN THE BOOK OF TAFSIR AL-AZHAR
Authors: Muhammad Muhammad , Mahmudi Zaenul , Hamdan Ali , S Alahmadi Fahd Mohana , Rusdi Mikdar
Published: September 2024

Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (Hamka) is widely recognized as a leading Muslim intellectual of 20th-century Indonesia, renowned for his extensive body of work, including both novels and Qur'anic exegesis. His tafsir has been the subject of considerable scholarly interest across Asia. The Qur'an contains numerous verses concerning the Jews, and as an exegete of the entire 30 juz of the Qur'an, Hamka offers a distinct interpretation of these verses. The 20th century was a period marked by significant global political upheaval, notably the establishment of Israel in 1948. The creation of the Israeli state had profound consequences for Muslims worldwide, intensifying anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, and anti-Israel sentiments, which also permeated discourse in the United States and the United Kingdom. Within this context, several Islamic scholars began to integrate European concepts found in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a document that portrays Jews as malevolent and conspiratorial figures. These ideas gradually infiltrated the field of Qur'anic exegesis, including Indonesian works, most prominently Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar, first published in 1965. Before this period, the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" had not influenced Qur'anic interpretation. This paper seeks to critically analyze the theme of Jewish conspiracy in Hamka's tafsir by tracing the origins of his arguments, identifying the presence of conspiratorial elements in his exegesis, and examining the extent to which Hamka's views converge with those of Sayyid Qutb. The study employs a library-based literature review utilizing a descriptive-analytical and critical approach. The findings reveal that Hamka strongly adheres to the conspiracy theory espoused in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," depicting Jews as aiming to establish a new world order, dominate the global economy, and control Hollywood and the media. Moreover, Hamka's interpretations are significantly shaped by Sayyid Qutb's concepts of Jahiliyyah (ignorance) and Hakimiyyah (sovereignty).

Effect of Plant Types on Lodging Resistance and Yield of Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.) and Lodging Impact on Yield and Ascochyta Blight Severity
Authors: Yimam Kedir , Yilma Gizachew , Abo Temesgen , Tesfaye Deresa , Achenef Gebyaw
Published: September 2024

The present investigation was conducted during June–November, 2020 at Bekoji and Kofele, Ethiopia with the objective to analyse the effect of plant type on yield and lodging resistance potential and to assess the impact of lodging on ascochyta blight disease severity and seed yield of field pea. A total of 49 Field pea genotypes, representing two different plant types were evaluated for 13 characters using 7*7 simple lattice design. Plant types had significant effect on most of the studied traits. Considerable variation was observed for response against lodging and ascochyta blight with respect to plant types as well as genotypes even if high level of resistance was not identified. Normal leafed type had significantly higher lodging and ascochyta blight severity score than semi-leafless type. Even though the same plant type did not give the highest seed yield consistently in the two study locations, semi-leafless type did give significantly higher mean seed yield with 17% yield advantage over normal leafed type at Kofele. The regression analysis showed that lodging had negative significant influence on seed yield of field pea. Significantly largest yield reduction was observed by lodging in normal leafed type than in semi-leafless. The ascochyta blight severity was more increased by lodging in normal leafed type than the semi-leafless one. In other words genotypes with more susceptible to lodging were also susceptible to ascochyta blight with high yield reduction in normal leafed type. Thus, yield losses caused by ascochyta blight may be reduced by breeding for improved resistance to lodging.

Published: September 2024

Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is primarily known for causing genital infections but can occasionally result in central nervous system (CNS) involvement, manifesting as meningitis or meningoencephalitis. HSV-2 meningoencephalitis is a rare, yet potentially severe condition, particularly in immunocompromised patients. We present the case of a 63-year-old immunocompetent woman who developed progressive neurological symptoms, including mental confusion and generalized seizures. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed HSV-2 infection. Timely initiation of acyclovir led to a favourable outcome, with the patient being discharged after 15 days of antiviral therapy without any lasting neurological sequelae. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment of HSV-2 meningoencephalitis, even in immunocompetent patients, to prevent long-term complications.

Penelitian ini membahas wujud dan faktor pelaksanaan dispensasi perkawinan hamil di luar nikah pada Pengadilan Agama Parigi menurut undang-undang nomor 16 tahun 2019 dan tinjauan maqashid syari’ah terhadap wujud dan faktor pelaksanaan dispensasi perkawinan hamil di luar nikah.  Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif (lapangan) dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa wujud dan faktor pelaksanaan dispensasi perkawinan hamil di luar nikah pada Pengadilan Agama Parigi menurut Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 201219 adalah setiap tahunnya Pengadilan Agama Parigi memutus dan menyelesaikan perkara permohonan dispensasi nikah dengan presentase rata-rata 93 % calon mempelai perempuan sudah dalam keadaan hamil di luar nikah telah dikabulkan oleh hakim. Faktor hakim mengabulkan dispensasi perkawinan hamil di luar nikah pada Pengadilan Agama Parigi adalah pertimbangan hukum formil, Perma Nomor 5 Tahun 2019 tentang Pedoman Mengadili Permohonan Dispensasi Kawin juga pertimbangan hukum materiil, undang-undang perkawinan, kaidah ushul fiqh, maslahah mursalah dan keadilan masyarakat. Adapun tinjauan maqasid syari’ah terhadap wujud dan faktor pelaksanaan dispensasi perkawinan hamil di luar nikah menurut Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2019 adalah tidak bertentangan dengan syariat Islam, bahkan kebijakan tersebut sejalan dengan tujuan syariat Islam (maqasid syari’ah). Untuk saat ini penulis setuju dengan pertimbangan mengabulkan dispensasi perkawinan hamil di luar nikah, tetapi peranan maqasid syariah hanya sedikit kontribusinya, yakni pertimbangan terkait perlindungan terhadap keturunan (hifz al nasl).
