Sources of data generated from the results of interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that in Laugambir Village, burning incense is a ritual that has been going on for a long time and is part of everyday life. However, local residents are not even sure of the origin of this custom of burning incense. This practice of burning incense is carried out many times at various events, such as grave pilgrimages, celebrations of the Prophet's birthday, peusijuk assemblies, votive contests, and so on. No special equipment is required for the incense burning procession itself, and no special individual or individuals are required to burn the incense. However, locals usually delegate it to their elders or those who are familiar with the prayers involved in the incense burning ritual. There are some people who do not want to take part in this procession for fear that they will deviate from asking for the incense smoke. In this tradition, basically there are many pros and cons both in terms of opinion and the implementation of the incense burning procession in people's lives. However, the literal meaning is to invoke and pray to God through the use of incense.
"BİR ÇÖZÜM OLARAK" SKEPTİSİZMİN HUME FELSEFESİNDE YENİDEN KURULMASI
Authors: ÖZÇELİK Bilgehan , AKSOY Gülüse
Published: August 2023

İnsan, kendisinin de bir parçası olduğu dış dünya ile ilişki kurarken, doğasının ona çizdiği sınırlar içinde hareket etmeye yazgılıdır. Dış dünyayla ilişkilenme, bilgilenmenin en doğrudan hali ile sağlanan biçiminde, insan yaşamını kolaylaştırdığı sürece genel anlamda sorgulamaya kapalıdır. Ancak bilginin dinamik yapısı ile uyuşmayan söz konusu dogmatik kabul, değişimi zorlayan koşullar karşısında zamanla direncini yitirmeye başlar. Dogmaya karşı bir antitez olarak ortaya çıkan skepsis, ilerlemeyi işaret eden tüm tarihsel sıçramalarda başat unsur olarak işlev görür. Çünkü şüphenin olmadığı yerde değişmeden, gelişmeden, arayıştan bahsetmek zor hatta imkânsızdır. Ancak diğer yandan Pyrronculuk tarzında her türlü bilgiyi askıya alan, şüpheye teslim edilmiş bir düşünceden de sonuç çıkmayacağı açıktır. Hume, çözümde vazgeçilmez bir bileşen olarak ortaya koyduğu şüpheciliğini, felsefesinin genel karakteristiğine uygun olarak iki ucu dengeleyecek, akıl yürütmesini işler ve sürekli hale getirecek şekilde kurar. Onun doktrinini özgün kılan bir diğer özelliği de, skeptikliğini, dogmaların hâkim olduğu anlayışların ortaya çıkmasını daha en baştan yani henüz olgusal deneyim aşamasındayken önleyecek bir çözüm önerisi olarak sunmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İskoç deneyimci David Hume (1711-1776)’un “denetim ve teftiş aracı” olarak nitelendirdiği şüpheyi, metafizik eleştirisi ile ilişkilendiği noktada irdelemek ve Hume skeptisizmini özgün yanlarıyla ortaya koyabilmektir.

Authors: MORTAZAVİ Shohre , NAJAFİ KANİ Ebrahim
Published: August 2023

Today, dye pollutants enter resources of water through various industries. Due to the stability and carcinogenicity of dye pollutants, it is necessary to treat colored wastewater before entering the aqueous cycle. One of the important methods for wastewater treatment is adsorption. In this study, the effect of industrial waste of silica fume adsorbent on azo dye Direct Orange 26 (DO26) was investigated. Design of experiment was carried out with CCD method by using Design Expert software version 7 to model and investigate the effects of parameters pH, concentration, amount of adsorbent, and time. The model proposed by the software is a second-order model. According to the findings, important and effective parameters for the quadratic model of experimental design were obtained from ANOVA (analysis of variance). The optimum conditions for the maximum removal of DO26 (95.26%) were obtained to be at pH 2.01, contact time of 55.15 minutes, adsorbent amount of 0.2 g, and initial concentration of 44 ppm. The experimental kinetic data were analyzed through the conventional kinetic models, and the results demonstrate that the sorption kinetics can be accurately described by the pseudo-second order model. Also, based on FESEM image, silica fume has a spherical and porous structure, therefore, silica fume can remove dye pollutants from water as a cheap adsorbent.

Methodology: This study was conducted between May 2015 and November 2015 in Al-Basrah General hospital in Basra, Iraq, to evaluate important role of atorvastatin (20mg/day)(Lipitor® Pfizer Pharma GmbH.Germany) on bone biochemical markers. Thirty men patients who had been admitted for a variety of medical problems included in the study. All the patients had previously been diagnosed with Dyslipidemia by specialist physician in internal medicine and all patients age below 55 years . the inclusion criteria for the experimental group was use of atorvastatin for at least three months; the study group was then compared to age-matched healthy men .bone biochemical markers were compared between groups. Results are expressed mean ± SD; statistically Student’s t test was used to compare variables. Results: The mean age of the statin group was 44.5 ± 5.9 and control group was 45.7 ± 4.4.After 3 months treatment with atorvastatin, as in table (1) and figures (1-8) Surprisely level of serum total cholesterol remain significantly higher than value of normal healthy group. LDL value significantly reduced by treatment but still significantly higher than values of normal group. HDL value were significantly higher than that of its initial values, but level of HDL ;after treatment; was not significantly different from that of normal group. Triglycerides was not significantly changed by treatment and its value still significantly higher than normal group. Vit D level was not significantly change by treatment and its value was significantly lower than normal group. Osteocalcin was elevated significantly by treatment; and this elevation was significantly as compared with its initial value and with that of normal group. Amino Terminal telopeptide procollagen type I (NTX-I) was not significantly change by treatment and its value still significantly higher than normal group and before treatment values. Also body mass index value was not significantly changed by treatment.

Em pediatria, há necessidade de reconhecer o desenvolvimento infantil como processo de formação, transacional e determinante na formação do adulto. A abordagem terapêutica em pacientes neonatais e pediátricos é diferenciada, ocorre muitas vezes sem testes clínicos adequados, e sempre deve buscar a promoção do conhecimento. Para assegurarmos a qualidade e garantia do atendimento à saúde infantil os serviços pediátricos devem ser responsivos, inovadores e com o máximo de segurança. Este conhecimento é fruto da troca dos saberes, das constantes atualizações dos profissionais, do conhecimento epidemiológico e da prática clínica quando bem executada. Parte dos profissionais de saúde se sente inadequadamente treinado para atender a este público em particular, o que gera justificável insegurança nos pais, pacientes e também nos próprios profissionais. O estudo das experiências profissionais, relatos de caso, revisões bem fundamentadas entre outros estudos possibilidade base para formação dos profissionais que desejam trabalhar com pediatria. Portanto, a Editora Pasteur criou uma coletânea para fornecer um campo rico de conhecimento. Este projeto foi possível devido à participação de profissionais e estudantes da área da saúde empenhados em fornecer o melhor material possível aos seus leitores.
