Authors: Pathak M. L. , Shrestha B. B. , Joshi L. , Gao X. F. , Jha P. K.
Published: May 2019

A wide range of habitat conditions including elevation determine adaptative variation in a species. The study was carried out to investigate the anatomical variation of two common species of Rhododendron (R. anthopogon and R. lepidotum) growing between 3200 and 4700 m asl in Gokyo valley of Sagarmatha National Park, Khumbu, eastern Nepal. Seven anatomical characters viz. pore area (PA), pore density (PD), vessel element length (VEL), fiber tracheid length (FL), ray density (RD), uniseriate ray height (URH) and uniseriate ray cell number (URCN) of twenty-three samples for two species (12 samples of R. anthopogon and 11 of R. lepidotum) were studied by making permanent slides of transverse, tangential longitudinal and radial longitudinal stem sections. In R. anthopogon, out of three non- anatomical characters (plant height, soil nitrogen and leaf nitrogen) the nitrogen content in leaf increased with increasing elevation. However, the plant height and nitrogen content in soil did not vary significantly with elevation. Out of the seven wood anatomical characters three characters such as PA, VEL and FL decreased with increasing elevation. The other four characters, PD, RD, URH and URCN did not vary significantly with elevation. In R. lepidotum, plant height decreased with increasing elevation and nitrogen content of soil and leaf increased with elevation. The PD, PA, VEL and FL decreased along the elevation gradient. However, RD, URH and URCN did not vary significantly with elevation. These variations in the anatomical features of both species have been attributed to the adaptative strategies of the plant in the hostile environment at high elevation.

Published: May 2019

Community forests in Nepal are operating various types of forest-based enterprises. These enterprises are generating considerable amount of income and employment at the local level contributing to the local and national economy. Comprehensive assessment of these enterprises is needed to improve their condition in the future. There is lack of assessment on the investment and benefits associated with these enterprises. We collected the data from 195 community-based enterprises in 23 districts of Nepal representing all geographic and development regions. For the analysis purpose, we categorized the enterprises into four categories viz. non-timber forest products (NTFPs), wood, ecotourism and agriculture enterprises. We analysed the investment, income, households benefitted and employment generation from these enterprises and compared with each other. Mean investment in ecotourism (US$ 22805.09) and wood (US$ 11252.42) based enterprises was found higher than the mean investment in NTFPs (US$ 2628.03) and agriculture (US$ 3383.63) based enterprises. Mean annual income from the enterprises was found US$ 1982.56 and was significantly different between the types of enterprises (P<0.05). On an average 115 households were benefitted per enterprise. Employment generation from wood based (2527 man-days) enterprises was found the highest followed by ecotourism (1490 man-days) enterprises. The mean employment generation from NTFP (1093 man-days) and agriculture-based enterprises (978 man-days) was found significantly lower (P<0.05) than timber and ecotourism-based enterprises. Examination of community-based forest enterprises contribution in local economy and household economy is recommended for future researchers.
Mountain Survey of Amphibians and Reptiles and their Conservation Status in Manaslu Conservation Area, Gorkha District, Western Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Biraj , Shah Karan Bahadur
Published: May 2019

Aim The Manaslu Conservation Area (MCA), a geographically diverse protected area, is known for high diversity of flowering plants and endemism. However, information about status of herpetofauna is limited. This study aims to fill this gap by updating diversity and distribution of herpetofauna of the MCA.

Location Sirdibas, Bihi and Prok Village Development Committees (VDCs), Gorkha district, Manaslu Conservation Area (MCA).

Materials and methods We used a multi-prolonged strategy combining visual encounter survey (VES) along six transects (500m each) in Sirdibas, Bihi and Prok VDCs, patch sampling (PS) in two sites in Ghap and Prok VDCs and opportunistic observations (OO) along trekking trails from Sirdibas to Prok to document the presence of herpetofauna. We conducted questionnaire survey using photo-elicitation technique (PET) (n=30) to collect ethnoherpetological data.

Key Findings We prepared a checklist of 22 species of amphibian and reptile by verification of data from VES, PS, OO and literature review. The Himalayan rock lizard, Laudakia tuberculata was common in all the study sites. The Hodgson’s racer - Elaphe hodgsonii was first described in the study area. The abundance of herpetofauna species decreased with increasing elevation (r = -0.53, P < 0.01). There was a positive association between species abundances and temperature (r = 0.49, P < 0.01). The ethnoherpetological survey revealed that the stream frogs locally called ‘Paha’ (genus ‘Amolops’, ‘Chaparana’ and ‘Paa’) were commonly consumed for food and presumed health benefits. This may impose a serious threat. We recommend similar systematic study to document and describe herpetofauna in the region.
Husband’s Support for Breastfeeding and Breastfeeding Efficacy of Nepalese Mothers
Authors: Nepali Sajama , Shakya Manodhara
Published: May 2019

Background: Continuing breastfeeding after three months of the postpartum period has been a challenge to mothers rather than their choice. The engagement of husbands in breastfeeding serves both as physical and mental support to their wives. This study aimed to assess the breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers, identify their husbands’ support for breastfeeding and examine the association between breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers and the husbands’ support for breastfeeding.

Methods: This descriptive, cross sectional study recruited 110 mothers of infants, visiting Bungmati Health Post for immunization from July 2015 to November 2015. Mothers were interviewed face to face with semi structured questionnaire. Data entry and analysis was carried out using SPSS version 23. Descriptive analysis was performed on the socio-demographic characteristics, delivery characteristics, breastfeeding self-efficacy and husbands’ support scale. Bivariate analysis was used to examine the association between breastfeeding self-efficacy and husbands’ support scale and other outcomes.

Results: Majority (94%) of the mothers reported to be confident on the breastfeeding self-efficacy, while 95 percent of their husbands were supportive towards breastfeeding. A significant association was seen between the breastfeeding self-efficacy and the husbands’ support scale (p<0.04). Mothers who received support from husbands were 10 times more likely to report confidence on breastfeeding than those who did not.

Conclusions: The results suggested that husbands’ support increases the breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers. Based on this finding, it is recommended that involvement of husband is crucial for encouraging mother to breastfeed child.

Tweetable Abstract: Mothers who received support from their husbands were 10 times significantly more likely to breastfeed.

Published: May 2019

Background: Nepal continues to struggle to increase its population access to healthcare, especially in rural and isolated villages where primary healthcare is offered through local health outposts. However, people often prefer to consult initially with traditional healers for minor issues as this is more aligned with their cultural beliefs and practices. Knowing that Nepal is undergoing healthcare reform, it would be timely to explore perceptions of health and care-seeking behaviors amongst patients living in high-altitude communities in rural Nepal for consideration in future planning and policy; which is the purpose of this qualitative study.

Methods: In-person, semi-structured interviews were conducted, with the use of a translator, with 17 participants, living in two rural villages. After transcribing the interviews, themes were identified using thematic analysis.

Results: People expressed the belief that they hold expertise in sustaining health due to their naturalistic lifestyle and community-focus developed within the context of a unique local culture and environment. When faced with a health problem, villagers are compelled to seek treatment from available healthcare offerings. Their care-seeking behavior and their eventual choice between Modern and Belief-based medicine is filtered through a number of considerations: the ease of its accessibility, the cost of services, their prior knowledge related to the illness, their belief system, and the severity of the medical situation.

Conclusion: This study indicates that better understanding of the perceptions of the rural Nepali is crucial in advocating for sustainable and culturally-sensitive delivery of healthcare.

Tweetable Abstract: Rural Nepali’s care-seeking behavior, rooted in naturalistic lifestyle and community-focus; however, contextual considerations oblige them to make choices between Modern and Belief-based medicine.

Authors: Das Banibrata , Ghosh Tirthankar
Published: May 2019

Background: Cognitive ergonomics relates with studies related to knowledge, knowledge acquisition skills and other factors. In the modern days, the workers are exposed to a work, which demands cognitive skill along with physical ability.

Objectives:  Aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of physical exertion along with thermal stress on the cognitive performance among the adolescent farmers through.

 In the present study, cognitive performance was evaluated through physical exertion along with thermal stress among the adolescent farmers. This cross-sectional study was performed during 2017 -18 among the randomly selected 50 male and 50 female adolescent farmers from the various village of Hooghly District at West Bengal, India. Before conducting the study, legal guardian consent was taken. Prior permission and ethical approval was also obtained from local community leaders as well as relevant authorities before commencement of the study. The memory test or cognitive ability test was done by the Immediate Recovery Test. In cognitive ability test, three pictorial cards were prepared having same length; each of the cards had 15 pictorials. Different pictures card was shown to all the subjects for 15 minutes in resting condition. Immediately after 15 minutes all the subjects were asked to recall the pictures within the 3 minutes. Then, evaluation was undertaken in presence of the subjects.

Results: The result of the study shows that the farmers performed strenuous activity by which they do the more error in cognitive function test than control subjects. This may be due to increase in strenuous activity in agricultural sector by increasing the heart rate (physiological stress) which may decrease the cognitive function among the farmers in compare to control subjects.

Conclusion: The study concludes that intense fatigue producing or highly strenuous agricultural activity lead to an increase in the number as well as in the percentage of wrong answers in the cognitive test. On the other hand, moderate type of agricultural results in a decrease in the number as well as in the percentage of wrong answers and there is an improvement in the cognitive performance.

Intraoperative fiber optic guidance during chronic electrode implantation in deep brain stimulation neurosurgery: proof of concept in primates
Authors: DePaoli Damon , Goetz Laurent , Gagnon Dave , Maranon Gabriel , Prud’homme Michel , Cantin Léo , Parent Martin , Côté Daniel C.
Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE

The clinical outcome of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery relies heavily on the implantation accuracy of a chronic stimulating electrode into a small target brain region. Most techniques that have been proposed to precisely target these deep brain regions were designed to map intracerebral electrode trajectory prior to chronic electrode placement, sometimes leading to positioning error of the final electrode. This study was designed to create a new intraoperative guidance tool for DBS neurosurgery that can improve target detection during the final implantation of the chronic electrode.

METHODS

Taking advantage of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, the authors developed a new surgical tool that senses proximal brain tissue through the tip of the chronic electrode by means of a novel stylet, which provides rigidity to DBS leads and houses fiber optics.

RESULTS

As a proof of concept, the authors demonstrated the ability of their noninvasive optical guidance technique to precisely locate the border of the subthalamic nucleus during the implantation of commercially available DBS electrodes in anesthetized parkinsonian monkeys. Innovative optical recordings combined to standard microelectrode mapping and detailed postmortem brain examination allowed the authors to confirm the precision of optical target detection. They also show the optical technique’s ability to detect, in real time, upcoming blood vessels, reducing the risk of hemorrhage during the chronic lead implantation.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors present a new optical guidance technique that can detect target brain regions during DBS surgery from within the implanted electrode using a proof of concept in nonhuman primates. The technique discriminates tissue in real time, contributes no additional invasiveness to the procedure by being housed within the electrode, and can provide complementary information to microelectrode mapping during the implantation of the chronic electrode. The technique may also be a powerful tool for providing direct anatomical information in the case of direct implantations wherein microelectrode mapping is not performed.

Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE

MRI and MRA studies are routinely obtained to identify the etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The diagnostic yield of MRI/MRA in the setting of an acute ICH, however, remains unclear. The authors’ goal was to determine the utility of early MRI/MRA in detecting underlying structural lesions in ICH and to identify patients in whom additional imaging during hospitalization could safely be foregone.

METHODS

The authors reviewed data obtained in 400 patients with spontaneous ICH diagnosed on noncontrast head CT scans who underwent MRI/MRA between 2015 and 2017 at their institution. MRI/MRA studies were reviewed to identify underlying lesions, such as arteriovenous malformations, aneurysms, cavernous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, tumors, sinus thrombosis, moyamoya disease, and abscesses.

RESULTS

The median patient age was 65 ± 15.8 years. Hypertension was the most common (72%) comorbidity. Structural abnormalities were detected on MRI/MRA in 12.5% of patients. Structural lesions were seen in 5.7% of patients with basal ganglia/thalamic ICH, 14.1% of those with lobar ICH, 20.4% of those with cerebellar ICH, and 27.8% of those with brainstem ICH. Notably, the diagnostic yield of MRI/MRA was 0% in patients > 65 years with a basal ganglia/thalamic hemorrhage and 0% in those > 85 years with any ICH location, whereas it was 37% in patients < 50 years and 23% in those < 65 years. Multivariate analysis showed that decreasing age, absence of hypertension, and non–basal ganglia/thalamic location were predictors of finding an underlying lesion.

CONCLUSIONS

The yield of MRI/MRA in ICH is highly variable, depending on patient age and hemorrhage location. The findings of this study do not support obtaining early MRI/MRA studies in patients ≥ 65 years with basal ganglia/thalamic ICH or in any ICH patients ≥ 85 years. In all other situations, early MRI/MRA remains valuable in ruling out underlying lesions.

Published: May 2019

Stimulation of primary visual cortices has the potential to restore some degree of vision to blind individuals. Developing safe and reliable visual cortical prostheses requires assessment of the long-term stability, feasibility, and safety of generating stimulation-evoked perceptions.

A NeuroPace responsive neurostimulation system was implanted in a blind individual with an 8-year history of bare light perception, and stimulation-evoked phosphenes were evaluated over 19 months (41 test sessions). Electrical stimulation was delivered via two four-contact subdural electrode strips implanted over the right medial occipital cortex. Current and charge thresholds for eliciting visual perception (phosphenes) were measured, as were the shape, size, location, and intensity of the phosphenes. Adverse events were also assessed.

Stimulation of all contacts resulted in phosphene perception. Phosphenes appeared completely or partially in the left hemifield. Stimulation of the electrodes below the calcarine sulcus elicited phosphenes in the superior hemifield and vice versa. Changing the stimulation parameters of frequency, pulse width, and burst duration affected current thresholds for eliciting phosphenes, and increasing the amplitude or frequency of stimulation resulted in brighter perceptions. While stimulation thresholds decreased between an average of 5% and 12% after 19 months, spatial mapping of phosphenes remained consistent over time. Although no serious adverse events were observed, the subject experienced mild headaches and dizziness in three instances, symptoms that did not persist for more than a few hours and for which no clinical intervention was required.

Using an off-the-shelf neurostimulator, the authors were able to reliably generate phosphenes in different areas of the visual field over 19 months with no serious adverse events, providing preliminary proof of feasibility and safety to proceed with visual epicortical prosthetic clinical trials. Moreover, they systematically explored the relationship between stimulation parameters and phosphene thresholds and discovered the direct relation of perception thresholds based on primary visual cortex (V1) neuronal population excitation thresholds.

The implementation of social responsibility has been widely applied to various types of companies including profit-based manufacturing companies. This is because the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is able to influence the performance of the company. Through corporate social activities, making the name of the company can be great in the eyes of the wider community. This research was conducted with the aim of obtaining results or output empirically to test the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on stock returns and the value of companies with good corporate governance as moderating. This research examines companies engaged in manufacturing that have been registered with the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2015-2017 period. A total of 539 manufacturing companies were used as populations with purposive judgment sampling as a sampling method. The indicator used to measure Corporate Social Responsibility variables is using the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (SRG) method by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as its issuer. And for the proxy of the Good Corporate Governance variable, it uses managerial ownership. Managerial ownership is acting as a management who actively participates in decision making and also as a shareholder in the company, and the measurements made for company value variables are using the Tobin's Q index. The data analysis technique used in the study is multiple regression analysis hypothesis testing using SPSS version 24. The method used in this research is the documentation method carried out by collecting secondary data published by the company on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the form of annual reports which include financial statements of manufacturing companies in 2015-2017. Secondary data collection is done by tracing data through literature and manuals on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This research is a quantitative study with a correlational analysis method to examine the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable.

O padrão de distribuição espacial de espécies arbóreas é um dos fatores de relevante importância para o entendimento das relações ecológicas ocorridas em uma população ou comunidade florestal, possibilitando a compreensão de como determinada espécie utiliza dos recursos disponíveis para se estabelecer e reproduzir em determinado espaço. A interpretação dos resultados das análises espaciais de espécies arbóreas fornece subsídios para o entendimento desses fenômenos e indicação de indivíduos para programas de conservação genética e fomento florestal. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do trabalho foi subsidiar a coleta de sementes para conservação ex situ de seis populações naturais de baru (D. alata), com base na distribuição espacial, utilizando o Índice de Moran associado a um sistema de informação geográfica e estatística descritiva de seus caracteres silviculturais. As populações estão localizadas nos municípios de Paulo de Faria/SP, Campina Verde/MG, Ituiutaba/MG, Brasilândia/MS, Campo Grande/MS e Itarumã/GO. Todas as populações tiveram crescimento superior a 45 cm em relação a variável DAP (diâmetro à altura do peito). Levando em consideração que o DAP tem maior correlação dendrocronológica, a idade estimada dessas populações naturais estaria no intervalo de 40 a 63 anos. Com base nos valores de Índice de Moran, as populações de Ituiutaba e Itarumã, por apresentarem padrão de distribuição espacial aleatório, com alta variabilidade entre seus indivíduos, são preferencialmente indicadas para a coleta de sementes em programa de conservação ex situ da espécie.

Em nosso cotidiano constantemente encontramos situações em que nos deparamos com problemas relacionados à moral, e nos fazem pensar sobre nossas decisões, escolhas, ações e comportamentos, onde seremos julgados entre o que é socialmente considerado como correto ou errado. Diante das conquistas tecnológicas atuais, a ética está presente nos debates a respeito do comportamento humano e o seu estudo se faz necessário para que as pessoas orientem seu comportamento de acordo com a nova realidade na vida social. Ética é definida como a explicitação teórica do fundamento último do agir humano na busca do bem comum e da realização individual. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento dos profissionais formados em agronomia sobre ética e legislação profissional da categoria. Foram entrevistados 21 profissionais, através de questionários com questões abertas e fechadas, sendo realizado no período de junho a julho de 2017 na cidade de Dourados-MS. Os resultados apontaram que na região de Dourados-MS a maioria dos engenheiros agrônomos são do sexo masculino, atuam como assistentes técnicos, com 1 a 5 anos de atuação, possuem faixa etária de 20 a 39 anos e a maioria dos entrevistados tem conhecimento sobre o conselho profissional e as implicâncias éticas da profissão.

Com o interesse e incentivo pelos sistemas integrados de atividades agropecuárias, se faz necessário melhor conhecer as relações entre os vegetais que serão manejados no mesmo espaço e tempo. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do extrato aquoso da espécie Pityrocarpa moniliformis na germinação da espécie cultivada Sorghum bicolor (sorgo tipo sacarino) e das plantas daninhas Emilia fosbergii e Bidens pilosa. Foram produzidas soluções por infusão de folhas e ramos de P. moniliformis nas concentrações de 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100 g L-1. As soluções foram utilizadas em testes de germinação para as três espécies-alvo, sendo avaliados a porcentagem, o índice de velocidade e o tempo médio de germinação, além do comprimento e massa de matéria seca de parte aérea, raiz e total das plântulas do sorgo. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a análise de variância com teste de Tukey (5%) e regressão. Houve diminuição em 18,5% da porcentagem de germinação para B. pilosa, e menor índice de velocidade para as três espécies em função das concentrações do extrato. Para o sorgo sacarino a produção de plântulas normais foi prejudicada drasticamente, decrescendo com o aumento das concentrações do extrato e chegando a zero quando da dosagem de 74 g L-1.

O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi investigar as estratégias de diversificação produtiva utilizadas pelos agricultores familiares do município de Dom Pedrito/RS, para assegurar a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN) da população em geral. Foram apontados os desafios e limites para se consolidar esta estratégia. Para esta investigação, foram realizadas entrevistas com 15 agricultores familiares do município entre os meses de março a maio de 2018. Foram estudados aspectos sociais e produtivos dos agricultores familiares e como se dá a produção nesses estabelecimentos, observando-se semelhanças entre as famílias entrevistadas. O sistema de produção manual, a mão de obra totalmente familiar utilizada para a produção agrícola e pecuária, e a comercialização direta ao consumidor em comércios locais, na feira livre municipal e nos programas PAA e PNAE estão entre essas semelhanças. Apesar de haver uma grande diversificação produtiva entre os agricultores familiares da região, verificou-se que estes não sabem o significado do termo Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional, e que a motivação que leva-os a diversificar a produção é a necessidade econômica de produzir mais em razão da demanda dos consumidores, possibilitando assim, um incremento da receita obtida em moeda.

Önsöz: İki arada bir deredeki Türk’ün iç çekişi

Yazmak, yalnızlaştıran bir deneyimdir. Beyaz sayfa, bir lambanın yalın aydınlığında Mallarmé’nin başını döndüren o yalnızlığı, yani bu korkunç düşünceyi dayatır. O, bu zorluğu ancak lambayı kendisinden uzaklaştırarak aşabilmiştir: “karanlık bir alan üzerine, parlak bir biçimde yazı yazılmaz”.  Kendi deyimiyle “kendisi yazından başka şey olmayan” Kafka, Felice’ye eşsiz tasarısından söz eder: yazmak için gerekli olan ne varsa alıp, ıssız geniş bir mahzenin ortasına bir lamba ile yerleşmek. “Yazarken asla yeterince yalnız olmayız” der, “yazarken çevrenizde asla yeterince sessizlik olmaz, gece yeteri kadar gece değildir”. ENGLISH ABSTRACTWriting is act making you lonely. Head spinning loneliness is a scary thought comes to Mallarme in front of a blank page and a lamp. Mallarme had overcome this only by moving the lamp away: "you cannot write bright on a dark space". Kafka, who is simply literature, tells Fellice about his unqiue design: taking all you need to write and settling down in a quite dungeon with a lamp. He says that "you cannot be adequately alone when writing; night is not night enough".

Göç ve Çocuk konusuna ayırmış olduğumuz bu sayımıza katkıda bulunan tüm yazar ve hakemlerimize özellikle teşekkür ederek başlamalıyız. Bugün sığınmacı ve göçmenlerin neredeyse yüzde 70’i kadın ve çocuklardan oluşmaktadır. Çocuklar göçmenler arasında da yeni ve önemli bir grup olarak karşımızdadır. 2000’lerden itibaren göçmen çocuklar konusu göç tartışmalarının içerisine girmiştir. Göçmen çocuk konusu ulusal çocuk politikası ve göç politikasının kesiştiği bir noktada ciddi ele alınmak durumundadır. Göç konusu irdelenirken çocuklar sayısal üstünlüklerinden ve korunmaya muhtaç durumlarından dolayı özel olarak ele alınmalıdır.
Fakir Baykurt’un Almanya öykülerinde Türk göçmen çocukları
Authors: Dervişoğlu Efnan
Published: May 2019

Almanya’ya işçi göçü, neden ve sonuçları, sosyal boyutlarıyla ele alınmış; göç ve devamındaki süreçte yaşanan sorunlar, konunun uzmanlarınca dile getirilmiştir. Fakir Baykurt’un Almanya öyküleri, sunduğu gerçekler açısından, sosyal bilimlerin ortaya koyduğu verilerle bağdaşan edebiyat ürünleri arasındadır. Yirmi yılını geçirdiği Almanya’da, göçmen işçilerle ve aileleriyle birlikte olup işçi çocuklarının eğitimine yönelik çalışmalarda bulunan yazarın gözlem ve deneyimlerinin ürünü olan bu öyküler, kaynağını yaşanmışlıktan alır; çalışmanın ilk kısmında, Fakir Baykurt’un yaşamına ve Almanya yıllarına dair bilgi verilmesi, bununla ilişkilidir. Öykülere yansıyan çocuk yaşamı ise çalışmanın asıl konusunu oluşturmaktadır. “Ev ve aile yaşamı”, “Eğitim yaşamı ve sorunları”, “Sosyal çevre, arkadaşlık ilişkileri ve Türk-Alman ayrılığı” ile “İki kültür arasında” alt başlıklarında, Türkiye’den göç eden işçi ailelerinde yetişen çocukların Almanya’daki yaşamları, karşılaştıkları sorunlar, öykülerin sunduğu veriler ışığında değerlendirilmiş; örneklemeye gidilmiştir. Bu öyküler, edebiyatın toplumsal gerçekleri en iyi yansıtan sanat olduğu görüşünü doğrular niteliktedir ve sosyolojik değerlendirmelere açıktır. ENGLISH ABSTRACTMigration and Children in Fakir Baykurt’s stories from GermanyThe migration of workers to Germany has been taken up with its causes, consequences and social dimensions; the migration and the problems encountered in subsequent phases have been stated by experts in the subject. Fakir Baykurt’s stories from Germany, regarding the reality they represent, are among the literary forms that coincide with the facts supplied by social sciences. These stories take their sources from true life experiences as the products of observations and experiences with migrant workers and their families in Germany where the writer has passed twenty years of his life and worked for the education of the worker’s children; therefore information related to Fakir Baykurt’s life and his years in Germany are provided in the first part of the study.  The life of children reflected in the stories constitutes the main theme of the study.  Under  the subtitles of “Family and Home Life”, “Education Life and related issues”, “Social environment, friendships and Turkish-German disparity” and “Amidst two cultures”, the lives in Germany of children who have been  raised in working class  families and  who have immigrated from Turkey are  evaluated under the light of facts provided by the stories and examples are given. These stories appear to confirm that literature is an art that reflects the social reality and is open to sociological assessments.KEYWORDS: Fakir Baykurt; Germany; labor migration; child; story

Baskı, 270 Sayfa. Türkiye özellikle son beş yıl içerisinde yoğun bir göç dalgasına maruz kalmış olsa da böylesi önemli bir konuda akademik çalışmaların aynı hızda arttığı söylenemez. Ancak Türkiye’de bazı konuların kamuoyunda popülerleşmesiyle birlikte bu konulara olan akademik ilginin de arttığı görülmüştür. Örneğin, 1990’larda ve 2000’lerde Türkiye – Avrupa Birliği ilişkilerinin hız kazanmasıyla Türkiye’de Avrupa Birliği alanında akademik çalışmaların da hız kazandığı görülmüştür.Sosyolog Lülüfer Körükmez ve Coğrafyacı İlkay Südaş’ın derlediği “Göçler Ülkesi” başlıklı bu kitap farklı disiplinlerde göç alanında çalışan yirmi araştırmacının çalışmalarını on başlık altında bir araya getirmiştir.
