Effectiveness of the integration of SPT-Drill and imagery training methods: A treatment to beat target panic in archery
Authors: Priambudi Muhammad Amin , Mashud  , Arifin Syamsul
Published: December 2023

Background Problems: Target panic was an experience that almost all archers went through. Research Objectives: This study aimed to minimise the symptoms of target panic in archery, including flinching, punching, freezing, and snap-shooting, by implementing the integration of the Specific Physical Training (SPT) Drill method with imagery. Methods: In this context, the method used is sports action research with the Kurt Lewin model, which consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were NPCI Kalsel Para-Archery athletes, totaling 12 athletes consisting of 9 males and 3 females. The data analysis used is descriptive-quantitative. Findings and Results: The study revealed an improvement in effectively managing panic-inducing events using the implemented method. In the initial cycle, 41.67% (5 athletes) achieved success in controlling panic, falling below the criteria. However, in the second cycle, there was a notable enhancement, reaching a success rate of 83.33% (10 athletes), meeting criteria. In the second cycle, proficiency levels showed a remarkable increase of 99.98% and a decrease of 28.58%. Conclusion: By demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating the SPT drill with imagery in alleviating target panic, this research makes a noteworthy contribution to the literature on sports psychology and archery training. The results highlight the appropriateness of this approach in improving archers' physical conditioning, fostering confidence, and subtly reshaping their perspectives on anxiety related to archery. We can say that the SPT drill with imagery worked because it got better every time from the first cycle to the next. This shows that it could be a good way to help archers who get target panic.

Published: December 2023

Athletes, who engage in wrestling, perform weight adjustment before the competitions like all weight loss category sports. For this reason, weight management is a very important factor prior to matches. When the studies on weight loss are examined, it is seen that athletes lose weight in a short time close to the competition. This study aimed to investigate the effects of short-term body weight loss in elite wrestlers on anaerobic performance and reaction time during tournament conditions. Ten experienced international level male wrestlers participated as a volunteer in this study. Participants lost 5% of their body weight within 48 hours, in 72 hours; 1 kg tolerance was given over 5% of body weight. During this process, body composition measurement, Wingate anaerobic performance test (WAnT), Countermovement Jump (CMJ), and visual and auditory reaction tests were conducted. In this study, a randomized crossover design was used and applications lasted four days. Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used for statistical analysis. Due to short-term body weight loss in body composition, total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM) were significantly reduced. In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in body fat percentage (BF %), visual and auditory reaction time, CMJ and average power (AP). However, there was a significant increase was seen in Peak power (PP) and fatigue index (FI). The results indicate that 5% loss of body weight within 48 hours caused significant changes in body composition and negatively affected the fatigue index. For this reason, athletes who lose weight should avoid rapid weight-loss practices that will cause sudden changes in body composition in order to maintain their athletic performance.

Published: December 2023

В статье рассматривается задача оценки пропускной способности Улан-Баторской железной дороги (УБЖД), которая является частью наиболее короткого транспортного коридора из Центральной России в Северо-Восточный Китай. Отличительной ее особенностью является то, что УБЖД в основном имеет однопутное сообщение, вследствие чего применяется пакетный график движения поездов, существенно усложняющий технологию работы. Исследование проводится методами математического моделирования с применением теории массового обслуживания. Модель имеет вид сети массового обслуживания, поступление пакетов поездов описывается при помощи BMAP-потоков, для учета различных маршрутов движения поездов используется несколько типов заявок. Выполняются численные расчеты, на их основе определяется текущая пропускная способность УБЖД и проводится сравнительная оценка эффективности возможных вариантов ее модернизации.

The article considers the problem of assessing the capacity of the Ulaanbaatar Railway, which is a part of the shortest transport corridor from Central Russia to Northeast China. In its current state, Mongolian railways cannot satisfy the growing demand for transit traffic, so the problem of increasing their capacity is essential. To find ways of solving this problem, we analyze the running of trains along the northern (most loaded) part of the trunk railway. Mathematical modelling based on the queuing theory is used as a research tool. The model has the form of a queuing network with 40 nodes, four BMAP flows, and four types of requests, for each of which a separate route matrix is constructed. The model describes the most significant properties of the Ulaanbaatar railway for the study, such as a single-track system of running, the arrival of train packages from several directions, the non-linear structure of the network, and the different routes of the train traffic. The mathematical model is implemented in the form of a simulation model and numerically studied. Based on the results obtained, we can draw the following conclusions. First, to meet the demand for container transportation in the short term, it is enough to increase the number of tracks at the sidings. Secondly, the complete reconstruction of the Ulaanbaatar Railway with the construction of double- track lines will allow bringing the railway corridor for passing through the territory of Mongolia. The major outcome is expected to be the volume of container transit among all land transport corridors between Russia and China. In addition to solving the important practical problem, the research results suggest that the presented highly adaptive model-algorithmic apparatus allows to studying a wide range of transport systems affected by random factors.

Для определения влияния изменения уровня оз. Байкал на экосистему его мелководной зоны и прибрежных территорий, а также нижнего бьефа Иркутской ГЭС потребовалось использовать модель прибрежного рельефа. В результате выполнения работы получена совмещенная модель прибрежного рельефа, по которой были построены зоны затопления. Для решения этой задачи разработаны и применены оригинальные алгоритмы обработки растровых пространственных данных и триангуляций.

The article discusses the experience gained while processing data on the relief of water bodies, such as the Irkutsk reservoir and the Angara River, for establishing a relief model that combines data from various sources, such as topographic and pilot maps, the results of depth measurements with an echo sounder, and the contours of coastal lines obtained from remote sensing data along with aerial photography. The use of algorithms developed for processing such data, which are based on the construction of triangulations, is considered. In addition to the actual algorithm for constructing the Delaunay triangulation with restrictions on vector data of various natures, algorithms have been implemented: removing triangulation artifacts built using relief isolines and morphing maps to coordinate the underwater part of the relief with the surface, replacing a triangulation fragment. The resulting relief model contains all the information about the relief of the studied area and allows it to be used for further hydrological calculations and analysis of the studied areas of reservoirs.

The paper addresses the design of tools for constructing a heterogeneous computing environment for the development and use of distributed applied software packages. The implementation and execution of scientific workflows (problem-solving schemes) within the package is based on containeri- zation of applied and system software. The essence and novelty of the represented approach lies in the integrated use of the standardized Business Process Execution Language, web processing services and containerization in implementing and executing scientific workflows. This integrated use allows describing the aforementioned language problem-solving schemes that combine services for accessing databases and applied software, which are developed by subject matter experts from different organizations. To ensure scaling of both the process for executing computational jobs and the functioning of systems for managing these jobs in a heterogeneous computing environment through containerization the proposed approach was applied. Finally, the described method was used to integrate scientific workflows with geographic information systems using web processing services. The results of the study were successfully applied for the development and use of a package for analyzing the vulnerability of energy complexes and separated energy systems in the Baikal Natural Territory.
Efficient quantum algorithms to find substructures on finite algebras
Authors: Caceres J.M. Hernandez , Rua I.F. , Combarro Elias F.
Published: December 2023

When classifying a collection of finite algebras (for instance, in the computational classification of finite semifields), an important task is the determination of substructures such as the right, middle, and left nuclei, the nucleus, and the center. Finding these structures may become computationally expensive when there is no additional information about the algebra properties. In this paper, we introduce quantum algorithms than solve this task efficiently, by formulating it as an instance of the Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP) {over Abelian groups}. We give detailed constructions of the quantum circuits involved in the process and prove that the overall (quantum) complexity of our algorithm is polynomial in the dimension of the algebra, while a similar approach with classical computers would require an exponential number of queries to the HSP function
A quantum segmentation algorithm based on background-difference method for NEQR image
Authors: Wang Lu , Liu Wenjie , Deng Zhiliang
Published: December 2023

Quantum image segmentation algorithm can use its quantum mechanism to rapidly segment the objects in a quantum image. However, the existing quantum image segmentation algorithms can only segment static objects in the image and use more quantum resource(qubit). In this paper, a novel quantum segmentation algorithm based on background-difference method for NEQR image is proposed, which can segment dynamic objects in a static scene image by using fewer qubits. In addition, an efficient and feasible quantum absolute value subtractor is designed, which is an exponential improvement over the existing quantum absolute value subtractor. Then, a complete quantum circuit is designed to segment the NEQR image. For a ${2^n}$$\times$${2^n}$ image with gray-scale range of [0,$2^q$-1], the complexity of our algorithm is O($q$), which has an exponential improvement over the classical segmentation algorithm, and the complexity will not increase as the image's size increases. The experiment is conducted on IBM Q to show the feasibility of our algorithm in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era.
Simple and deterministic spectral concentration bound for local Hamiltonians
Authors: Abrahamsen Nilin
Published: December 2023

We give a simple proof of a Chernoff bound for the spectrum of a $k$-local Hamiltonian based on Weyl's inequalities. The complexity of estimating the spectrum's $\epsilon(n)$-th quantile up to constant relative error thus exhibits the following dichotomy: For $\epsilon(n)=d^{-n}$ the problem is NP-hard and maybe even QMA-hard, yet there exists constant $a>1$ such that the problem is trivial for $\epsilon(n)=a^{-n}$.

Environmental Kuznets Curve for CO2 Emission in Cambodia: A Time Series Analysis
Authors:   Faculty of Management, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai Malaysia, Subramaniam Yogeeswari
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the dynamic impacts of GDP, square value of GDP, population growth and education on CO2 emission using econometric approaches for Cambodia. Empirical results from Johansen cointegration testing approach shows that over the period of 1986 to 2022, the results seem not to support the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) both in long run and short run. The results also demonstrate that both population growth and square value of income has long and short-term positive impacts with per capita carbon emission, but education and income have the negative impact on CO2 emission. Consequently, the findings from the granger causality tests suggest that in the short run education plays an essential role in reducing carbon emission whereas population growth does not contribute to the reduction in emission in Cambodia. In the light of empirical result, this paper provides policy implication in order to keep both income growth and environment intact. Hence, a significant focus on investment in education could contribute to reduce the emission and sustain the long run economic growth in Cambodia.

Protests in Hong Kong occurred frequently for years. In June 2019, media had shifted focus towards Hong Kong again as a series of Hong Kong Protests took place with mass street gatherings regarding the amendment of a bill. Online media were used to report news regarding this social unrest. This study aims to find out how the Hong Kong Protestors were represented in the news reports from China and Hong Kong respectively. In order to answer the research questions formulated in this study, activation of social actor as a branch of role allocation was selected from the framework by van Leeuwen (2008) to aid in understanding activation of social actors according toand the framework to study Hong Kong Protestors as social actors in the Hong Kong protests series that happened in 2019. The study collected over 80 news reports from China Daily (CD) and South China Morning Post (SCMP) in the duration of six months starting from the first protest in June 2019 to December 2019. The news reports were analyzed according to the Van Leeuwen’s (2008) Representation of Social Actor. The results of the study found that in general, both news outlets, CD and SCMP depicted instances of activation of the social actors in Hong Kong protests. The protestors were negatively represented in news reports of these two media outlets. The findings would provide insight to readers on how activation in role allocation is depicted through Discourse Analysis.

As one of the symbols of Japan's soft power, anime and its related products are influential worldwide. The 21st century has seen a rise in anime studies, and many of them have taken anime fans, or the audience, as the main subject of research. However, existing studies have focused more on Asian countries and the United States, and only a handful researched other regions. From the perspective of subculture, this study explores anime fandom among students in British universities. This study employs a qualitative approach, namely a grounded theory design, interviewing British university students who are from different cultural backgrounds and self-identified as anime fans. This study interviewed six respondents. Interviews were carried out by using open-ended questions and each interview lasted around 25-30 minutes, focusing mainly on the interviewees' experiences with their habitual consumption of anime, related media and products and interaction with the fan group. The responses were coded systematically and analysed in depth with reference to various subcultural and intercultural theories. This study suggests that the consumption of anime by British university students is consistent with the four characteristics put forward by the subculture framework, namely identity, investment of time and money, consistent distinction, and autonomy. Furthermore, it did not find significant geo-cultural specificities in the British university students' anime fandom. This may result partly from the limitations of the sample, but also, to a certain extent, suggests the translocal nature of anime fan culture in the highly globalised digital era.

Authors: O.R. Radchenko , L.R. Mirkhaidarova
Published: December 2023

One of the important tasks in organizing the activities of a non-state commercial medical institution is to create such conditions that the consumer of services has a firm confidence that diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation correspond to the expected level (quality). Therefore, in order to improve its activities, a non-governmental commercial medical organization constantly monitors what level of service the consumer considers acceptable and how much the structure of patients who applied for paid medical care has changed. The purpose of this study was: to study the social portrait of a services consumer of a non-governmental commercial medical organization providing pediatric medical care. For the study, a sociological survey was used - a survey of parents of underage patients, conducted in a non-governmental commercial medical organization in Kazan. The results obtained showed that in the structure of consumers of medical services in the field of commercial pediatric medical care, women predominate - persons aged 32-37 years; married, with two children; with higher education, mostly employees, with more than 10 years work experience; assessing the financial family situation as “average”, while noting that the child (children) observation by commercial medical organization specialists does not affect the family budget; who have chosen a non-governmental commercial medical organization to monitor the child after the existing unsuccessful experience of visiting the state clinic, having listened to the recommendations of friends, relatives, acquaintances; justify their choice: high professionalism of doctors and nurses; polite, helpful staff and no queues. The main reasons that influenced the choice in favor of a commercial medical institution is the desire to receive better medical care in comfortable conditions. Thus, the study allows us to state that the social portrait of the consumer of paid medical services in the studied commercial pediatric medical organization has not changed over the past 10 years. The medical and social characteristics of the children observed in the studied commercial pediatric medical organization are also given: they are full-term, from 1 or 2 normal pregnancies, born naturally, on the Apgar scale of at least 8/9 points, do not belong to frequently ill children.

The leaves of water mint growing in the Northern Caucasus were chosen as an object of research. Earlier authenticity of water mint on external and anatomo-diagnostic signs with the purpose of distinction from close species was defined. Based on the results of qualitative reactions and quantitative determination (steam distillation method) in the leaves of water mint was detected essential oil, the content of which was 1,92%. The method of ascending chromatography on paper identified flavonoids: rutin, luteolin, hyperoside. The presence of flavonoids in the raw material was confirmed by cyanidine test (by pink staining) and the formation of a yellow-green complex (with a solution of aluminum chloride (III) 2% alcohol). The spectrophotometric method determined the content of the sum of flavonoids in terms of luteolin, which was 0,72±0,05%. The method of approximate-quantitative spectral analysis analyzed the content of chemical elements from the place of preparation of leaves of water mint in Chegemsky area of KBR. The research revealed 7 trace elements as additional sources possessing antiseptic; analgesic; antipyretic; anti-inflammatory; wound-healing, etc. properties. The optimal bases (beeswax, cocoa butter, paraffin, PEO-4000, PEO-400, tween-80, lanolin, peach oil) for medical pencils with aqueous mint essential oil were selected experimentally. For this purpose, 5 compositions of pencils with a model concentration of essential oil of 2% were selected. The technology of making pencils by pouring method was developed. The estimation of smearing and sticking ability of pencils was carried out. It is established, that the best smearing and sticking ability possesses a pencil of composition №5 which has been chosen as optimum for the further researches.

According to the WHO classification, people 60-74 years old are considered elderly, 75-89 years old - old and 90 years and older - centenarians. The provision of therapeutic and preventive care to this age group of the population has a very wide range of social, clinical, and organizational nuances. The priority direction in the organization of medical care for diseases of the periodontium and oral mucosa is an interdisciplinary approach involving doctors of different specialties. Among all dental pathologies, one of the first places is occupied by pathological conditions of periodontal tissues, which lead to the removal of teeth in old age. The prevalence of chronic generalized periodontitis in elderly patients approaches 100%. The purpose of the study is to determine the volume of periodontal care for the elderly population of the Pervomaisky district of the city of Rostov-on-Don in the treatment and prevention department No. 3 of the GBU RO "SP" in Rostov-on-Don in dynamics for 2021-2022. Results of the study: mainly elderly patients turn to periodontal doctors, which amounted to 85% (2640 people) in 2021, and 87% (3147 people) in 2022. In dental hygienists of elderly patients in 2021, 30.2% (173 people), in 2022, 26.4% (213 people). According to the data obtained, it is necessary to draw a conclusion: there is a large amount of conservative treatment methods, the use of the latest examination technologies. It is necessary to introduce modern technologies of surgical operations and increase the number of orthopedic interventions.
OPTIMIZATION OF THE STEREOGNOSTIC ABILITY OF THE TONGUE IN THE ADAPTATION OF PATIENTS TO COMPLETE REMOVABLE PROSTHESES
Authors: D.S. Zhivotov
Published: December 2023

Assessing a patient's ability to adapt to new dentures is still a challenge in orthopedic dentistry. The term oral stereognosy refers to the ability of a person to adequately assess the shape and geometric dimensions of solid objects using tactile receptors of different oral tissues. Oral stereognostic ability assesses human oral function and also determines patient response to various orthopedic treatments. This is achieved by the association of more than one group of mechanoreceptors distributed simultaneously across multiple oral structures. At the same time, sensory abilities vary greatly in different structures of the oral cavity depending on the concentration of sensory afferent nerve endings in each of these tissues. In the tongue, the anterior part and tip are more sensitive than the posterior part, similarly, the middle part shows greater tactile sensitivity than the lateral parts. Surface mechanoreceptors usually adapt rapidly and are known to play an exceptional role in exteroceptive tactile recognition and, accordingly, in tactile examination of objects in an intraoral manner. At the same time, a number of studies indicate significant deviations of tongue functions that form in conditions of complete absence of teeth, the most demonstrative of which is the violation of stereognosy. In this regard, the topic of oral stereognosis is closely related to the general state of the human oral cavity, to the process of dental orthopedic treatment and adaptation to it - all this requires special study.of dental orthopedic treatment and adaptation to it - all this requires special study.

The etiopathogenetic features of the development of some forms of cheilitis are determined by the climatic and geographical features of the population of the Far North. Contact cheilitis is an inflammatory reaction of the lips caused by an irritant or allergic action of various substances in direct contact with the lips. The pathogenesis of contact cheilitis is based on the mechanism of delayed-type hypersensitivity allergic reaction. Clinically, the contact cheilitis is manifested by dryness and burning of the lips, peeling, redness, and with a long course, cracks form. Contact cheilitis is most often diagnosed on the red border of the lips, extending to the skin around the red border. The purpose of this study is to determine the main algorithm for diagnosing contact cheilitis in the population of the Far North. The study involved 24 patients with a similar clinical picture and unidentified forms of cheilitis. The study was conducted for three months in the winter season. All patients were determined in the blood serum level of total immunoglobulin E by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. If contact cheilitis was suspected, after a thorough history taking, an exposure provocative allergy test was performed for each subject, with the most likely source of contact cheilitis. After 14 days of the prescribed etiopathogenetic treatment, using allergen-specific kits, plates of commercial application samples were installed. During the study, it was found that 5 patients have elevated levels of immunoglobulin E. The most important step in the diagnosis of suspected contact cheilitis at the patient's dental appointment is the collection of the patient's anamnestic data. If the allergic nature of cheilitis is suspected, it is necessary to determine the level of total immunoglobulin E. If the result is positive, it is necessary to conduct provocative allergic and application testing. This algorithm is the most rational diagnostic method for prescribing timely therapy and further prevention of contact cheilitis.

Özellikle yirminci yüzyılın ortalarından itibaren, başta politik ve ekonomik unsurlar ve küreselleşmenin etkisiyle, koleksiyon odaklı müzecilik anlayışı; yerini eğitim, teknoloji ve ziyaretçi odaklı bir müzecilik anlayışına bırakmış; UNESCO ve ICOM gibi uluslararası organizasyonların kurulmasıyla da bilimsel bir nitelik kazanmıştır. Çağdaş müzelerin sahip olduğu uygulama atölyeleri; eğlence ve dinlenme yerleri gibi mekânsal yapılanmaları; sunum, konferans, sohbet gibi etkinlikleri bu müzeleri bütüncül bir anlayışın ürünü kılmaktadır. Bu durum da çağdaş müzeleri; bilgilendirici, eğitici, deneyim kazandırıcı, eğlendirici, dinlendirici vb. sosyo-kültürel kazançlarıyla kent folklorunun önemli bir araştırma alanı haline getirmektedir. Yukarıdaki açıklamalar ışığında, Cumhuriyet’in 100. yılında İzmir’de kurulan Arkas Sanat’ın, İzmir kent folklorunda çağdaş müzecilik anlayışının bir örneği olarak ilk kez tanıtılması bu çalışmanın ana amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Arkas Sanat’ın kültür-sanat faaliyetleri; bu faaliyetlerin tür, amaç-kapsam gibi yönlerden nitelikleri ve özellikle de Mattheys Köşkü’nde sergilenen halı koleksiyonu araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada, halı koleksiyonu özelinde köşkte sergilenen 75 adet halı zaman, mekân/yer ve motif bilgileri yönünden incelenmiş ve kültürel mirası yansıtan yönleri, 26 halı örneklemi üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Sergilenen halıların, türünün en temel ve nadide örneklerini temsil etmesi ve barındırdığı motifler ile döneminin duygu, düşünce ve inanç dünyasını yansıtması açısından kıymetli birer somut kültür miras olduğu görülmüştür. Tüm bu incelemeler neticesinde, Arkas Sanat’ın temelde Türk kültürüne, özelde ise İzmir kent kültürüne kazandırılmış bir değer olduğu aşikârdır. Ayrıca sahip olduğu halı koleksiyonu, Anadolu’da yüzyıllardır devam eden dokumacılık geleneğine ait dokuma tezgâhı, ipliklerin ve aletlerin bulunduğu bir sergi salonu, halı dokuma geleneğini anlatan dijital bir gösteri salonu, Arcademia’da gerçekleştirilen kültürel etkinlikleri ve bunlara ilave olarak köşkün bahçesinde yer alan kafesi ve mini golf sahası ile de toplumun tüm kesimlerini kucaklayan çağdaş müzecilik anlayışına uygun kültürel bir merkez olduğu görülmüştür.

Dillerin yaşamlarını uzun yıllar devam ettirebilmesi için üretkenliğe ve canlılığa ihtiyaçları vardır. Her dilin kuralları birbirinden farklı olduğu için bu devamlılığı farklı yollardan karşılarlar. Eklemeli dil grubunda olmayan Batı dillerinde, yeni kelime yapma yöntemlerinden biri olarak genellikle kelime birleştirme yolu tercih edilmiştir. Eklemeli dillerde ise yapım ekleri ne kadar fazla ve işlek olursa dil de o kadar canlı ve üretkendir. Türk dilinin üretkenliğini de bu yapım ekleri karşılar. Bu çalışmada, Eski Anadolu Türkçesi, Türkiye Türkçesi ve Türkiye Türkçesi ağızlarında var olan yapım ekleri karşılaştırılarak bunlarda ortak kullanılan yapım ekleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu yapım eklerinden tek şekilli, ancak çok işlevli yapım ekleri üzerinde ayrıntılı bir şekilde durulmuştur. İsimden isim, isimden fiil, fiilden isim ve fiilden fiil yapım eklerinde ortak olarak kullanılan yedi ek tespit edilmiş, hangi yapım eki için kullanılmış ise onunla ilgili örnekler verilmiştir. Araştırma sonunda, Türkçenin isim ve fiil köklerine getirilen yapım eklerinin daha çok isim yapma işlevinde kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca Eski Anadolu Türkçesi, Türkiye Türkçesi ve Türkiye Türkçesi ağızlarında kesintisiz olarak kullanılan yapım eklerinin bütün yapım ekleri içindeki oranı da yaklaşık dörtte birdir. Bu da tespit edilen yapım eklerinin diğerlerine göre daha işlek, daha sürekli ve daha canlı olduğunu göstermektedir.

In this study, the effect of the use of buckwheat flour on some quality characteristics of Fatayer which is a bakery product containing breakfast Zahter mixture as a top filling material and traditionally produced in Syria was investigated. The effect of buckwheat flour in different proportions on the physicochemical, textural, and sensory quality characteristics of Fatayer was investigated. In the study, 5 different types of Fatayers were produced with buckwheat flour ratios of 0, 30, 50, 70 and 100 % (g/g). The Fatayer produced with 100 % (g/g) wheat flour was used as a control. As the buckwheat content of Fatayers increased, the moisture content decreased from 26.61 to 14.92 % (w.b.), the fat content increased from 18.66 to 20.17 % (d.b.), and the weight loss decreased from 17.16 to 14.74 % (g/g) . The increase in the buckwheat flour ratio decreased the diameter (mm) and thickness (mm) of the Fatayers. It was observed that the increase in the buckwheat flour ratio causes an increase in hardness, flexibility, gumminess, chewiness and elasticity values, and a decrease in stickiness values. The sensory appearance, shape, color, hardness/softness, taste, smell, fragility, internal structure, chewiness and general acceptability scores of the pastries were detected in the ranges of 2.50-7.50, 2.30-7.70, 2.5-7.70, 2.30-8.40, 2.40-7.80, 4.30-7.30, 4.00-6.80, 3.40-7.60, 3.30-8.40 and 3.00-7.66, respectively. Considering the sensory properties of the samples, it was seen that the addition of 30% buckwheat flour was close to the control sample in terms of general acceptability. Considering the optimum chemical, physical, textural and sensory properties, it has been revealed that up to 50 % (g/g) Buckwheat flour can be used in the Fatayer formula.

Mehmet Akif Ersoy’un Safahat kitabının “Birinci Safahat” bölümünde geçen “Köse İmam”, söylem çözümlemesine olanaklı bir manzumedir. Söylem çözümlemesi, dilbilimsel bir incelemedir. Dil, dilbilime kadar gramer merkezli incelenirken dilbilim, metni bir gösterge olarak ele almıştır. F. de Saussure’ün sistem dediği kavram, Cenevre Dilbilim Okulu’nda yapıdır. Söylem çözümlemesi hem yapısalcıların hem de göstergebilimcilerin çalışma alanındadır. Yapısalcılar, durağan – yayımlanmış, iki kapak arasındaki- metinle ilgilenirken, göstergebilimciler her türlü varlığı inceleme nesnesi olarak kullanmışlardır. Yapısalcı inceleme metinden hareketle alımlamalar yapar. Bu beraberinde öznel ve sınırsız bu bir yorumlama getirir. Çözümlemeci, metnin bağlamından uzaklaşabilir, hatta metinden kopabilir. Böylece çözümlemeci, metnin söylemek istediğindense kendi söylemek istediğini aktarabilir. Bir metinde anlamı aramak veya anlamın nasıl oluştuğunu incelemek anlambilimin konusudur. Söylenenlerden hareketle söylenmeyeni anlamak ve söylemi deşifre etmek söylem çözümlemesini ilgilendirir. Bu açıdan söylem çözümlemesi dilbilimin inceleme alanına girse de söylem çözümlemesinin yorumlama/anlamlandırma yöntemi disiplinler arasıdır. Söylemlerin çözümlenmesi için “cümle üstü unsur” konumundaki sözcelerin belirlenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi gerekir. Bu çalışmada söylem çözümlemesindeki temel yaklaşımlar (konuşma, anlatı ve söz eylem) göz önünde bulundurularak ve konu ile ilgili alan yazınında daha önceden üretilmiş olan bilgiler değerlendirilerek “Köse İmam” şiiri incelenmiştir. Doğal dilden ayrılan şiir dilinin içinde açıkça söylenmeden okuyucudan çözümlenmesi beklenen göstergesel anlamalar/ kodlar üzerinde durularak söylem çözümlemesi yapılacaktır.
