Authors: Malcoti Manisha D. , Zia Hina , Kabre Chitrarekha
Published: March 2023

UHIs’ environmental and energy implications are well-known, but their significance in aggravating heat stress in populations is only recently being recognised. Planners, health managers, and public administrators now prioritise UHI prevention. Urban geometry, material finishes, and green and blue infrastructure are prominent UHI mitigation options. This paper examines urban geometry as a key parameter and reviews UHI research. This report also identifies information gaps and emphasizes the need for this type of research in key Indian metropolitan centers. The anticipated study will help public health planners and administrators. Methods: Authors compiled extensive literature on UHI and related concepts. The outcome intent was to understand the relevance of urban geometry parameters in UHI intensity and how it impacts outdoor thermal comfort. Various electronic databases were searched for publications meeting the criteria of outdoor thermal comfort and urban planning characters (urban geometry) as a mitigation strategy, ranging from 2000 to 2020. Summary: The impact of UHI on human comfort conditions cannot be ignored. Appropriate planning measures at the initial stages of city planning via urban geometry parameters can certainly yield encouraging results to reduce the intensity of UHI and improve outdoor thermal comfort conditions.

Coronavirus is impacting the world we live in for the most vanquished way and all regions of the planet are left with hung economic loss. This pandemic has not just negatively affected medical care frameworks and communities’ lives yet additionally influenced world economies and brought about employment misfortunes, and business disturbances, and made us head towards one of the most awful times ever for individuals on the planet. Nearly, every one of the enterprises is going through huge decreases in their business, and the effect is so much tremendous of this pandemic, that they are extending more terrible times ahead. The outburst of the Covid-19 pandemic has a remarkable shock to the Indian economy. The economy was at that point in a dreadful state before COVID-19 struck. With the persistent far-reaching lockdown, worldwide financial crisis, and related interruption of interest and supply chains, the economy has likely confronted an extended time of stand stillness. The extent of the financial effect is presently subject to the span and seriousness of the well-being emergency, the period of the lockdown, and how the circumstance unfurls once the lockdown is lifted. This study depicts the condition of the global economy in the pre-COVID-19 period, surveys the possible effect of the shock on different portions of the economy, and dissects the strategies that have been declared such a long way by the central government and the international banks to improve the financial shock and set forward a bunch of strategy proposals for explicit areas.
Optimize and analysis of drilling PMSM using hybrid technique based on BN, FFT, FCE, and FMA for risk assessment
Authors: Abdul Lathif Syed Ismail , Cruz Antony J. , Noel Jeygar Robert V. , Aishwarya D.
Published: March 2023

A failure risk assessment must be carried out and potential drilling equipment failure risks must be promptly addressed in order to prevent drilling fluid pollution during offshore oil drilling. The qualitative, comprehensive, and quantitative failure risks for Drilling Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motors (DPMSM) are examined in this article using a hybrid methodology. First, the Drilling PMSM using Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) method is combined with the Risk Matrix (RM) approach to analyse the risk levels of risk factors individually. Next, the Borda number is introduced to compare the risk levels exactly. To execute a Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) of the system failure risk, a fuzzy relation matrix of risk factors is generated, and the weight of each risk component is calculated using importance analysis. The failure rate is then determined using fuzzy inference, and the Fault Tree (FT) is then built based on the risk variables. Fault tree analysis is used to compute the system failure rate, and the significance of the bottom event is evaluated. The Bayesian network (BN) is used to depict the Fuzzy Fault Tree (FFT) analysis. By utilizing Bayesian forward causal inference and reverse diagnostic inference to calculate the leaf node failure rate and root node posterior probability, the system’s weak points and potential failure causes are determined.

Published: March 2023

Social networks have become information dissemination channels, where announcements are posted frequently; they also serve as frameworks for debates in various areas (e.g., scientific, political, and social). In particular, in the health area, social networks represent a channel to communicate and disseminate novel treatments’ success; they also allow ordinary people to express their concerns about a disease or disorder. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) community has developed analytical methods to uncover and predict patterns from posts that enable it to explain news about a particular topic, e.g., mental disorders expressed as eating disorders or depression. Albeit potentially rich while expressing an idea or concern, posts are presented as short texts, preventing, thus, AI models from accurately encoding these posts’ contextual knowledge. We propose a hybrid approach where knowledge encoded in community-maintained knowledge graphs (e.g., Wikidata) is combined with deep learning to categorize social media posts using existing classification models. The proposed approach resorts to state-of-the-art named entity recognizers and linkers (e.g., Falcon 2.0) to extract entities in short posts and link them to concepts in knowledge graphs. Then, knowledge graph embeddings (KGEs) are utilized to compute latent representations of the extracted entities, which result in vector representations of the posts that encode these entities’ contextual knowledge extracted from the knowledge graphs. These KGEs are combined with contextualized word embeddings (e.g., BERT) to generate a context-based representation of the posts that empower prediction models. We apply our proposed approach in the health domain to detect whether a publication is related to an eating disorder (e.g., anorexia or bulimia) and uncover concepts within the discourse that could help healthcare providers diagnose this type of mental disorder. We evaluate our approach on a dataset of 2,000 tweets about eating disorders. Our experimental results suggest that combining contextual knowledge encoded in word embeddings with the one built from knowledge graphs increases the reliability of the predictive models. The ambition is that the proposed method can support health domain experts in discovering patterns that may forecast a mental disorder, enhancing early detection and more precise diagnosis towards personalized medicine.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: The Quick Exposure Check (QEC) assesses four major body parts and engages users in assessing some physical interactions relevant to design in task analysis. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we investigated the application of QEC as the ergonomic intervention to detect pre-production ergonomic design faults in the apple sorting machine by applying physical and virtual prototyping for three different tasks analysis divided into two phases (Task 1: Apple harvesting and preparation for sorting; Task 2: Sorting control and separation of waste fruits; Task 3: Transfer of separated apples). METHOD: First, the QEC questionnaire was administered while Iranian participants interacted with the machine to detect abnormal posture. Second, we redesigned a concept of the machine and assessed it with QEC by a focus group. RESULTS: Before design, the high pressure in Task 1 is on the back (dynamic), shoulder/arm, and very high pressure in Task 2, and in Task 3 on the back (static), arm/shoulder/neck, making an uncomfortable situation for posture. After redesign, we observed decreased pressures on the back/shoulder/arm in Task 1 from high to medium, in Task 3 from very high to low, and also in Task 2, this was detectable decreasing from very high pressures on the back/shoulder/arm and the high pressures on the neck to medium. CONCLUSION: Prototyping with QEC demonstrated that accurate redesigning of the machine with concentration on shifting from static tasks to dynamic or conversely, and ease of access by adjusting dimensions according to anthropometry and auxiliary products, could reduce musculoskeletal disorders.

Authors: Davenport Todd E. , Stevens Staci R. , Stevens Jared , Snell Christopher R. , Van Ness J. Mark
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: Existing instruments often are inappropriate to measure the effects of post-exertional malaise (PEM) and post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) on activities of daily living (ADLs). A validated questionnaire to measure self-reported ability with ADLs would advance research and clinical practice in conditions like myalgic encephalomyelitis and Long Covid. OBJECTIVE: Determine the measurement properties of the PEM/PESE Activity Questionnaire (PAQ). METHODS: The PAQ is adapted from the Patient Specific Functional Scale. Respondents rated three self-selected ADLs on two 0-100 scales, including current performance compared to (1) a ‘good day’ and (2) before illness. Respondents provided a Burden of Functioning rating on a 0-100 scale, anchored at 0 being the activity took “No time, effort, and resources at all” and 10 being “All of my time, effort, and resources.” Respondents took the PAQ twice, completing a demographic questionnaire after the first PAQ and before the second PAQ. Descriptive statistics and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for each scale to assess test-retest reliability. Minimum detectable change outside the 95% confidence interval (MDC95) was calculated. Ceiling and floor effects were determined when the MDC95 for average and function scores crossed 0 and 100, respectively. RESULTS: n = 981 responses were recorded, including n = 675 complete surveys. Test-retest reliability was generally fair to excellent, depending on function and scale. MDC95 values generally indicated scale responsiveness. Ceiling and floor effects were noted infrequently for specific functions. CONCLUSION: The PAQ is valid, reliable, and sensitive. Additional research may explore measurement properties involving functions that were infrequently selected in this sample.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: Firefighting is a physically demanding profession. Firefighters (FFs) need adequate physical fitness (PF) to perform duty tasks efficiently. While FFs’ work demands are constant throughout their career, there is an expected age-related decline in PF. OBJECTIVE: To describe longitudinal changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) based on a fixed (12.0 METs) and an age-adjusted standard and compare the prevalence of fit/unfit firefighters (FFs) over eight years. METHODS: 297 Brazilian male firefighters were randomly selected. CRF was assessed by the 12-minute Cooper test. To compare the prevalence’s of fit/unfit FFs depending on the standard (12 METs vs. age-adjusted), the McNemar test was used. RESULTS: The reduction in the prevalence of fit firefighters was 4.4-fold higher when the analysis did not consider age. CONCLUSION: After eight years, the prevalence of fit FFs decreased by 30.5% based on the fixed standard, while this reduction was only 7% when using an age-adjusted standard.

Published: March 2023

The current study attempted to map the relationship between corporal punishment and student motivation in public secondary schools of District Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan. This study hypothesized that there is no significant relationship between corporal punishment and student motivation in public secondary schools. It was also hypothesized that there is no significant difference between urban and rural secondary schools’ students as to facing the corporal punishment and their level of motivation. For this purpose, a correlational research design was adopted to conduct a quantitative survey. Two self-developed questionnaires were used to collect data from students selected via simple random sampling. The reliability of both questionnaires was acceptable according to the prescribed benchmarks. Simple linear regression and independent sample t-test were applied to analyze the collected data. The findings suggested that there is no relationship between corporal punishment and the motivation level of students. The finding of this study further suggested that students of rural secondary schools were facing more corporal punishment in contrast to the urban students, and consequently, their level of motivation was low. On the basis of the findings, it is recommended that strong measures should be taken by the concerned school to avoid corporal punishment, especially in rural schools.
Developing and Supporting High-Performing Faculty Teams in Engineering Institutions
Authors: Vedhathiri Thanikachalam
Published: March 2023

There is a fast growth in engineering education in the last thirty years in India. Thousands of colleges have sprung up both in the private sector and in the government but there is a severe shortage of qualified high-performing faculty members. Most of the institutes are not accredited. The scenario of educational corruption has increased and the high-performing faculty members have been left out or discarded. Even though there are rules and regulations, the growth of corruption was not controlled. Hence, it is essential to develop a system to assess integrity in these institutions which will facilitate the growth of high-performing faculty teams. Integrity is more acceptable and enables faster growth of knowledge capital. Ethics are to be instilled in all development activities. The employment of high-performing faculty members should be based on quality, accomplishments, achievement, and intrinsic motivation. The engineering institutes are to be governed based on integrity. All these will develop high-performing faculty teams who can substantially contribute to the knowledge and human capital. This twenty-point model will have to be implemented in all institutions. Integrity checks have to be performed periodically and high-performing faculty are to be accelerated so that the growth of human capital is ensured.
On the statistical arrow of time
Authors: Henriksson Andreas
Published: March 2023

What is the physical origin for the arrow of time? It is a commonly held belief in the physics community that it relates to the increase of disorder, or entropy, as it appears in the statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics. In this article, it is argued that this cannot be the case, unless the choice is made to take the philosophical standpoint that it is the act of measurement by an ignorant observer which create the apparent directionality in time.
Dynamics of blood cells during a routine laboratory examination
Authors: Taye Mesfin
Published: March 2023

Centrifugation is a commonly performed laboratory procedure that helps to separate blood cells such as red blood cells _RBCs_, white blood cells _WBCs_, and platelets from plasma or serum. Although centrifugation is a routine procedure in most medical laboratories, the factors that affect the efficacy of the centrifugation process have never been studied analytically. In this paper, we examine the effect of the centrifugation time on the efficacy of the centrifugation process by studying the dynamics of the blood cells via the well-known Langevin equation or equivalently, by solving the Fokker-Plank equation. Our result depicts that the speed of the centrifuge is one of the determinant factors concerning the efficacy of the centrifugation process. As the angular speed increases, the centrifugal force steps up and as result, the particles are forced to separate from the plasma or serum. The room temperature also considerably affects the dynamics of analyse during centrifugation. Most importantly, the generation of heat during centrifugation steps up the temperature within a centrifuge and as a result, not only the stability of the sample but also mobility of analyse is affected. We show that as the centrifuge temperature steps up, the velocity of the cells as well as the displacement of the cell in the fluid increases. We then study the dynamics of the whole blood during capillary action where in this case the blood flows upward in a narrow space without the assistance of external forces. Previous investigations show that the height that the fluid rises increases as the surface tension steps up. The viscosity of the fluid also affects the capillary action but to date, the dependence of the height on viscosity has never been explored due to the lack of a mathematical correlation between the viscosity of blood and surface tension [1]. In this work, we first examine the correlation between surface tension and viscous friction via data fitting. Our result exhibits that the viscosity of the blood increases linearly as the surface tension increases. The mathematical relation between the height and viscous friction is derived. It is shown that the height of the blood that rises in capillary increases as the viscous friction steps up. As the temperature of the room steps up, the height also decreases. The dependence of erythrocytes sedimentation rate on surface tension is also studied. The results obtained in this work show that the erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR increases as surface tension steps down.

Yaşamlarını daha kolay bir hale getirmek için girilen bu arayış, yüzyıllar boyunca farklı uygarlıklar doğada elde ettikleri ham maddeleri işleyebilmeyi öğrenmiş ve günlük kullanıma yönelik çeşitli ürünler ortaya çıkarmışlardır. İlk başlarda yiyeceğini saklamak ve pişirmek için ahşap, pişmiş toprak ve taştan yararlanılmıştır. Daha sonra madenlerin keşfedilmesiyle birlikte daha hafif ve dayanıklı eserler üretmişlerdir. Madenler, takı yapımından süs eşyasına, silah yapımından mutfak eşyalarına kadar her alanda kullanım alanı bulmuştur. Özellikle mutfak eşyaları arasında bulunan taslar, bu konuda çeşitlilik göstermektedir. Bunlar su tası, ayran tası, çorba tası gibi isimlerle adlandırılmaktadır. Taslar yöreden yöreye de aynı işlevler için kullanılsa da farklı isimlerle anılmışlardır. Madeni taslar, insan yaşamında belli kolaylıkları sağlamanın yanında aynı zamanda yapıldığı dönemin kültürel ve sanatsal değerleri hakkında da bilgiler sunmaktadır. Ne yazık ki tarihin bağrından koparak gelen madeni taslara bilim insanlarınca yeterince ilgi gösterilmemiştir. Bu çalışmayla birlikte tasların da diğer eserler gibi tanıtılıp bilim dünyasına kazandırılması ve aynı zamanda gelecek nesillere aktarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Kars Müzesi’nde bulunan madeni mutfak eşyalarından bir grup tas ele alınmıştır. Eserler, form, malzeme, süsleme ve teknikler açısından incelenerek, sanat tarihi metodolojisine uygun bir biçimde tanıtılmaya çalışılmıştır.

ОБЛІК НЕМАТЕРІАЛЬНИХ АКТИВІВ ВІДПОВІДНО ДО ВИМОГ МІЖНАРОДНОГО СТАНДАРТУ БУХГАЛТЕРСЬКОГО ОБЛІКУ 38
Authors: Грибовська Юлія
Published: March 2023

У статті досліджено значення та класифікацію нематеріальних активів відповідно до положень Міжнародного стандарту бухгалтерського обліку 38 «Нематеріальні активи». Встановлено, що в міжнародному стандарті наведено рекомендаційні класи нематеріальних активів, які підприємство може змінювати та доповнювати. Автором встановлено й висвітлено умови, за яких нематеріальний актив визнається у балансі суб’єкта господарювання. Право власності на кожну групу нематеріальних активів, які можуть бути ідентифіковані, засвідчують документи, перелік яких класифіковано та подано в таблиці. Узагальнено шляхи отримання нематеріальних активів на підприємство, а також напрями їх вибуття. Метою написання статті є виокремлення значення нематеріальних активів в господарській діяльності суб’єктів господарювання, дослідження порядку їх ідентифікації, класифікації, оцінки та визнання відповідно до вимог положень МСБО 38 «Нематеріальні активи». Автором використано універсальні методи дослідження. Аналіз – за допомогою нього досліджено класифікаційні групи нематеріальних активів. Метод синтезу використано при об’єднані методів оцінки нематеріальних активів. На основі вивчення нормативно-правової бази з регулювання обліку за міжнародними стандартами розкрито порядок переоцінки нематеріальних активів. Переоцінка проводиться за умови існування активного ринку аналогічних нематеріальних активів. Проте активний ринок не може існувати для торговельних марок, заголовків, видавничих прав на кіно- та музичні твори, патентів та торгових знаків, оскільки кожен з таких активів є унікальним. Нематеріальні активи, для яких не існує активного ринку, обліковують тільки за моделлю собівартості. Практична цінність полягає у розкритті порядку формування собівартості нематеріальних активів при їх надходженні та виокремленні елементів, що не включаються до неї. На прикладі практичної ситуації проведено дооцінку комп’ютерної програми за методом пропорційної оцінки і за методом списання. Встановлено, що нематеріальні активи з визначеним строком корисного використання амортизуються, з невизначеним строком – не амортизуються. Досліджено та розкрито сутність поняття «правовстановлюючий документ» при визначені строку корисного використання нематеріального активу.

Published: March 2023

The Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) occurs in a narrow strip of shallow marine waters less than 50m deep. The finless porpoise although recorded in Malaysia has not been comprehensively studied. The documentation of the occurrence and distribution of finless porpoise in west and north-west Penang was carried out from 2011 to 2019.This included interview surveys every 3 months from December 2012 to December 2013, a collation of published literature and conducting preliminary boat surveys in 2019. A total of 240 structured, individual interviews were done with the local community. Based on the interview surveys, there were 6 sightings (n=6/240, 2.5%) of finless porpoises in 2013. Published data indicated that there were 19 sightings of finless porpoises in 2013 and 3 sightings in 2014. Twenty mortalities of finless porpoises have been recorded. Boat surveys recorded 14 sightings of finless porpoise with an encounter rate of 0.106 sightings per hour. Mean group size was 2.6 ± 0.4 SE.   The finless porpoise appears to occur in Teluk Bahang, Pantai Kerachut, Sungai Pinang and Sungai Burung in west Penang. Overall, the data suggests that there is a consistent population where line transect surveys can be done to further elucidate the population status of finless porpoises in Penang.

The main objective of institutionalizing Islamic law is to create a common benefit to mankind through the analysis maqqashid Shari'ah. Renewal of Islamic Law is an attempt to apply the norms of the social reality to meet the needs of the development community to remain steadfast in the policies laid down by the religion itself through a dynamic process of purification. Reform does not mean replacing the teachings and laws that are absolute, fundamental, and universal, which is already covered by the provisions of the authentic. However, such reforms have ample wiggle room in how to renew understand, interpret, reformulate, and do teopassing on religious teachings which are beyond qath'iyyah region, namely the provisions that are included in the scope zhanniyyah reform areas. Tujuan utama pelembagaan hukum Islam, adalah untuk mewujudkan kemashlahatan bagi umat manusia melalui analisis maqqashid syari‟ah. Pembaharuan Hukum Islam merupakan upaya menerapkan norma-norma agama atas realitas sosial untuk memenuhi kebutuhan perkembangan masyarakat dengan tetap berpegang teguh pada dasar-dasar yang telah diletakkan oleh agama itu sendiri melalui proses pemurnian yang dinamis. Pembaharuan bukan berarti mengganti ajaran-ajaran dan hukum-hukum yang bersifat mutlak, fundamental dan universal, yang sudah tertuang dalam ketentuan-ketentuan yang otentik. Tetapi, pembaharuan itumempunyai ruang gerak yang cukup luas dalam memperbaharui cara memahami, menginterpretasi, mereformulasi dan melakukan teopassing atas ajaran-ajaran agama yang berada di luar wilayah qath‟iyyah, yaitu ketentuanketentuan yang sifatnya zhanniyyah yang masuk dalam lingkup wilayah pembaharuan.

O estudo aborda a teoria dos Três Anéis, de Renzulli (1986) e a teoria das inteligências múltiplas, de Gardner que irá nortear toda a relação de dados abordados, apoiando-se também nos estudos de autores, como: Alencar (2007), Freitas (2006), Perez (2008), Gama (2006) entre outros. O estudo possibilitou a compreensão das teorias abordadas, ou seja, para Renzulli (2004), a concepção de altas habilidades/superdotação é a caracterização de habilidades gerais ou específicas acima da média, elevados níveis de comprometimento com a tarefa e elevados níveis de criatividade, e para Gardner (2000) é a valorização da concretude do potencial de inteligência pelo retorno em produtos através de tecnologias, como objetos úteis à determinada comunidade.

Published: March 2023

In this paper data will be provided from an ongoing study on academic satisfaction in Portuguese higher education. The realization of this study is providing a diverse range of information on multiple dimensions of the faculty job in higher education, in particular dimensions of satisfaction, as well as dimensions of the academic career and the professional context in which it is exercised. In the context of this paper we will discuss particularly the academic job satisfaction as an amplifier of the organizational intellectual capital within the Portuguese higher education institutions.
The research is being carried out at the Center for Research on Higher Education Policies (CIPES) and is being financed by Foundation for Science and Technology. The main research objectives are as follows:
RO1: Determine the dimensions associated with job satisfaction of the academic staff;
RO2: Analyze how job satisfaction differs among sub-groups of academics – sex, degree of education and institutional type.
The main conclusions are that academics are in general satisfied with their jobs but not very or extremely satisfied. Academics more dissatisfied were those with a higher degree of education (PhD) and those teaching in public higher education institutions, especially those in public universities. Academics are more satisfied with “Non academic staff (administrative staff, technical and laboratorial staff)”, “Teaching Climate” and “Colleagues” and express dissatisfaction with “Research Climate” and “Conditions of Employment”.
The results are intended as an aid in identifying areas for improvement and, consequently, this data can be used to shape policies and change, promoting the organizational intellectual capital.
Key words: academics, job satisfaction, intellectual capital, higher education.

تاتي اهمية دراسة موضوع الاتجاهات السياسية للكاريكاتير في جريدة الشرق الأوسط من اهمية هذا الفن الصحفي الساخر الساحر، وولوجه مختلف المجالات بالنقد الساخر الذي يعري الظواهر السلبية ويؤثر في وعي القارئ بشكل او بآخر من خلال المساهمة في تشكيل الراي العام حول هذه القضايا والموضوعات التي تمس حياة الناس وتؤثر في مستقبلهم.لهذا فان اهمية هذا الفن لاتقل عن اهمية الفنون الاخرى، بل هو مكمل لها واهميته امتداد لاهمية الصحافة نفسها.كما ان اختيار جريدة الشرق الأوسط ، كونها من الصحف العربية الاوسع انتشاراً والابرز اهمية، ولانها تضع في اهتمامها نشر الرسم الكاريكاتير ي بشكل مميز وتفرد له مكاناً خاصاً ولا يخلو اي عدد من اعدادها من رسم كاريكاتيري شأنه في ذلك شأن المقال والتعليق والتحقيق والحوار والفنون الصحفية بشكل عام.تحدد مشكلة البحث في جملة من التساؤلات يمكن صياغتها بالشكل الاتي:1- ما ابرز الاتجاهات السياسية التي تضمنتها الرسوم الكاريكاتير ية ؟2- ما الاشكال التي ظهرت من خلالها الرسوم الكاريكاتيرية ؟انطلاقا من اهمية البحث ومشكلته تبلورت اهداف هذا البحث في الاجابة على التساؤلات المطروحة، ليتسنى الوقوف على ما حملته الرسوم الكاريكاتير ية (موضوع البحث) من مضامين وافكار ومعالجات وانواع وأشكال وشخصيات وبالتالي معرفة الدور الذي قامت به هذه الرسوم سواء في موضوع تعرية الظواهر او مناقشتها او توجيه الرأي العام ضدها. من خلال تحديد اعداد هذه الرسوم والافكار وتكراراتها ونسبها المئوية والحيز المكاني الذي احتلته في الصحيفة.يتضح مما تقدم ان تحليل الرسوم الكاريكاتيرية في جريدة الشرق الأوسط خلال المدة الزمنية التي حددها البحث، قد وضعت جل اهتمامها بالموضوعات الخاصة بالقضية الفلسطينية وهي القضية العربية المركزية ثم الشأن العراقي بما يحمله من ازمات وظروف سياسية معقدة فرضت نفسها على الرسام الكاريكاتيري وعلى الأعلام بشكل عام، فيما جاءت الموضوعات العالمية بالمراتب اللاحقة.ويمكن القول ان رسام الكاريكاتير استطاع ان يحمل رسومه بالرسائل الاعلامية الواضحة ليوصلها الى القارئ العربي باسطاً امامه الافكار والرؤى وتاركاً له بناء التصورات حول هذه الاحداث السياسية والازمات العالمية ومطالباً اياه باتخاذ موقف ازاءها. ولعل هذا هو الدور التثقيفي والتعبوي الذي يسعى لتحقيقه رسام الكاريكاتير بل القائم بالاتصال بشكل عام

El Proyecto Gran Caribe constituye una estrategia para la conservación, el desarrollo y revitalización ambiental de Monumentos y Sitios de la región, que quiere integrar acciones en la que participen instituciones e individuos tanto a nivel privado como público. Este Proyecto es también una iniciativa que se propone crear una actitud comunitaria dispuesta a la búsqueda de soluciones donde el patrimonio construido en los centros históricos se convierta en un instrumento de desarrollo económico y social.
Estos recursos culturales, y su relación con expectativas vitales y la necesidad sentida del hombre, ensamblados a nivel de un plan territorial, adquieren una dimensión diferente desde una perspectiva regional. 
El éxito o el fracaso de un programa relacionado con un centro histórico no depende de la cantidad de monumentos que se restauren. Tampoco es responsabilidad exclusiva de una generación. Entra en juego principalmente la capacidad y determinación consciente y responsable definida por grupos locales o por la comunidad municipal, nacional o internacional.
SOĞUK SAVAŞ DÖNEMİNİN BAŞINDA TÜRK-İNGİLİZ İLİŞKİLERİNİ GELİŞTİRMEYE YÖNELİK BİR ADIM: PARLAMENTO HEYETLERİNİN KARŞILIKLI ZİYARETLERİ (1947)
Authors: ÖZCAN Mehmet Şah
Published: March 2023

İkinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra Türkiye, savaşın sonlarından itibaren kendini gösteren Sovyet baskı ve tehditleri karşısında İngiltere ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin mutlak desteğinden yoksun olarak bir süre tek başına mücadele etmek zorunda kalmıştı. İngiltere ve Amerika ise ancak 1946’nın sonlarına doğru Türkiye’yi savunmak için tam bir işbirliğine varmışlardı. 1947’nin başlarından itibaren Sovyet yayılmacılığına karşı “çevreleme” politikasını hayata geçirirken, bir süredir ekonomik sıkıntılarla uğraşan İngiltere ise Şubat 1947'de Amerika Dışişleri Bakanlığı'na verdiği notalarla, 31 Mart'tan sonra Yunanistan ve Türkiye'ye yapılacak tüm ekonomik ve askeri yardımları askıya alma niyetini bildirmişti. Buna karşılık Başkanı Truman, 12 Mart 1947'de Amerikan Kongresine hitaben “Truman Doktrini” olarak anılan konuşmayı yapmış ve konuşmasında Amerika Hükümeti'nin Yunanistan ve Türkiye'ye toplam 400 milyon dolarlık acil askeri ve ekonomik yardım sağlayacağını açıklamıştı. Truman Doktrini Türkleri ve İngilizleri genel anlamda memnun etmişti ancak onlarda bazı endişeler de yaratmıştı. Türkler, Truman Doktrininin Türkiye’nin güvenliğinin sağlanması hususunda resmi bir taahhüt sağlamaması sebebiyle, İngilizlerle olan 1939 tarihli ittifaklarına, İngilizlerin savaş sonrası durumları onlara olan güvenilirliği azaltmasına rağmen, caydırıcı bir unsur olarak değer vermeye devam etmişlerdi. İngilizler ise, Türkiye'deki birincil siyasi rollerini sürdürmekte kararlı olduklarından, Amerikan ekonomik gücünün İngiltere’nin Türkiye üzerindeki etkisini azaltmasına müsaade etmemeyi kararlaştırmışlardı. Bu nedenlerle hem Türkiye hem de İngiltere, Türk-İngiliz ilişkilerinin geliştirilmesine önem vermişlerdi. Dolayısıyla her iki ülkenin de bu hususta bazı girişimleri olmuştu. Bu çalışmada, Türk-İngiliz ilişkilerinin geliştirilmesi amacıyla 1947 senesinde atılan adımlardan biri olan, Türk ve İngiliz Parlamento heyetleri tarafından Türkiye ve İngiltere’ye yapılan karşılıklı ziyaretler incelenmiştir. Çalışma, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Dışişleri Bakanlığı Türk Diplomatik Arşivinden, süreli yayınlardan ve birçok kitap ve makaleden faydalanılarak meydana getirilmiştir.
